LED lighting helps save energy and reduce operational costs.
According to TOTAL, many of their petrol stations were insufficiently lit in the area around the pump. This was unpleasant for customers, employees and ultimately damaging to the brand.
To improve visibility, the current light level at the petrol stations will be increased considerably, from 200 to 400 lux around the pumps. Thanks to the integrated presence and twilight sensors, extra energy can be saved because light levels drop to 70% if there are no motorists near the pumps. The presence and twilight sensors only have to be set once with the app on the telephone and then the petrol station manager can leave the system to do its job.
The visibility of the forecourt from the store is improved dramatically which is beneficial for both employees and customers. The color rendition of the light increases the feeling of social safety – faces, vehicles and, not unimportantly, license plates can be seen more clearly. This improves security as well because better lighting enhances the quality of the security camera images. Above all, the TOTAL petrol stations now have better visibility from the highway. Through their improved illumination the buildings are more striking, which can certainly be beneficial for sales.
The switch to new LED lighting will give many TOTAL petrol stations a positive boost. While it's difficult to predict how much will be saved because every station is slightly different, the petrol station at Kerkeind has demonstrated energy and cost savings of 70%! The station could save even more by dimming the lights further when no one is present at the pump.

Skift Take: States are still working to challenge the latest version of the Trump travel ban. It seems they may not be able to stop the latest version before it goes into effect later this month, though.
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson is asking a federal judge to lift his stay halting the state's case against President Donald Trump's travel ban.
Five other states — Oregon, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and California — are also involved in the case.
The Trump administration on Sept. 24 issued a proclamation outlining the most recent restrictions, which affect citizens of Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen — and some Venezuelan government officials and their families. It's scheduled to take effect Oct. 18.


The drumbeat of "payments" reverberates throughout the interviews and comments that Brad Garlinghouse has made about XRP.
I agree with him - XRP is the best at payments among the digital assets and crypto-currencies currently in existence. The performance metrics of the XRP Ledger's native asset XRP make it easy to forget what sets the XRP Ledger apart for many fans of crypto-currency; its ability for any user to extend trust to another.
If you're new to XRP, you may not even know about this feature! Even though it was considered an incredible innovation in its day, the ability for anybody on the XRP Ledger to extend trust doesn't get the publicity that it deserves.
Before we get to the fun part, let's start at the beginning.
This is Ryan Fugger's creation. If anybody tells you different, challenge them. He was the one with the original idea, and he made the decision to hand this idea off to Chris Larsen and David Schwartz at some point in 2012.
We first have to look at the concept of trust. Right now, there are a large number of global exchanges where you can purchase or trade XRP. In order to operate, the exchange will typically create their own credit on the XRP Ledger. These credits are known as IOUs, because that's exactly what they are; a promise to pay the holder a specific value, whether it's another currency, asset, or even a service.
If you trade XRP for these IOUs, you are essentially "trusting" that the issuer of the IOU is going to redeem them for the specified currency.
Step 1: Choose an acronym for the XRP Ledger. In my example, I chose "HDR."
Step 2: Indicate how many tokens you wish to issue, and their price pegged to XRP.
Step 3: Issue the token.
And that's it! You've successfully issued your own token.
He's right: It's easy and convenient.
What if your older parents and / or grandparents don't want to go through the KYC procedures on an exchange, but they still want to participate in buying and selling XRP? You could do it for them, and then issue to their wallets specific IOUs in accordance with how much you owe them, thereby shielding them from onerous KYC procedures if they're just going to have you trade for them. When they have your IOUs in their account, it becomes an irrevocable, cryptographic proof of how much actual money you owe them.
Imagine that you run a social media site and wish to issue tokens for every 100 page views that a blog entry receives. Using the tokens on XRP Ledger, the blog writer could get a share of the advertising revenue. You'd issue them as necessary, and then whoever has them could send them to you for redemption.
Now imagine that you are the owner of a small coffee shop. You issue "cookie tokens" for repeat customers after 10 purchases. Each token could be exchanged at your store for a coffee treat, similar to a low-tech punch-card system.
What if Amazon wishes to create redeemable gift certificates on the XRP Ledger?
This would indeed be a sea-change in the retail industry. Currently if you purchase an Amazon gift certificate, it's tracked only in an internal ledger that Amazon controls. Instead, these could be placed on the XRP Ledger as IOU tokens and traded like other assets. Imagine trading an Amazon gift certificate for a gift certificate at Whole Foods? If the gift certificates are issued on the XRP Ledger, it makes it entirely possible!
What about other types of financial assets? For those that are interested in the truly "big" numbers and possibilities, derivatives and other instruments are also trust-based and hence redeemable by issuing organizations. This relationship lends itself to a tight integration with the XRP Ledger to track the securities' ownership.
The market for derivatives is super-massive. Trading in derivatives dwarfs all other markets in terms of dollar value, with some analysts estimating that it is more than 10 times the size of the total world GDP. 4 This would be a comparable trade volume to other very high-frequency use cases for the XRP Ledger.
Whether it's a token to show social trust, a formal IOU that represents a debt, or a digital asset that represents ownership of a complex financial instrument, the XRP Ledger is capable of supporting it with the ease and simplicity of sending a token of your choice to a recipient wallet.
Ripple has made a decentralized credit network easy to understand for anybody who can understand just what a handshake represents.

This project aims to provide Python classes that allow users to interact with a GeoWave data store using the same workflows that are available in the programmatic Java API.

## Environment
- Python >=3,<=3.7
- A virtualenv with `requirements.txt` installed
- A running GeoWave Java Gateway

### Installation From Source
- Clone GeoWave: `git clone https://github.com/locationtech/geowave.git`
- Navigate to python directory: `cd geowave/python/src/main/python`
- Set up virtualenv: `virtualenv -p python3 venv`
- Activate virtualenv: `source venv/bin/activate`
- Install requirements: `pip install -r requirements.txt`

## Usage
In order to use `pygw`, you must have an instance of GeoWave Py4J Java Gateway Server running.  The gateway can be started by using the GeoWave command `geowave util python rungateway`.

You can then import `pygw` classes into your Python environment.

## Example
The following is an example of how `pygw` might be used to write and query some feature data:
```python
from datetime import datetime

from shapely.geometry import Point

from pygw.store import DataStoreFactory
from pygw.store.rocksdb import RocksDBOptions
from pygw.geotools import SimpleFeatureBuilder
from pygw.geotools import SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder
from pygw.geotools import AttributeDescriptor
from pygw.geotools import FeatureDataAdapter
from pygw.index import SpatialIndexBuilder
from pygw.query import VectorQueryBuilder
from pygw.query import VectorAggregationQueryBuilder

# Create a RocksDB data store
options = RocksDBOptions()
options.set_geowave_namespace("geowave.example")
# NOTE: Directory is relative to the JVM working directory.
options.set_directory("./datastore")
datastore = DataStoreFactory.create_data_store(options)

# Create a point feature type
point_type_builder = SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder()
point_type_builder.set_name("TestPointType")
point_type_builder.add(AttributeDescriptor.point("the_geom"))
point_type_builder.add(AttributeDescriptor.date("date"))
point_type = point_type_builder.build_feature_type()

# Create a builder for this feature type
point_feature_builder = SimpleFeatureBuilder(point_type)

# Create an adapter for point type
point_type_adapter = FeatureDataAdapter(point_type)

# Create a Spatial Index
index = SpatialIndexBuilder().create_index()

# Registering the point adapter with the spatial index to your datastore
datastore.add_type(point_type_adapter, index)

# Creating a writer to ingest data
writer = datastore.create_writer(point_type_adapter.get_type_name())

# Write some features to the data store
point_feature_builder.set_attr("the_geom", Point(1, 1))
point_feature_builder.set_attr("date", datetime.now())
writer.write(point_feature_builder.build("feature1"))

point_feature_builder.set_attr("the_geom", Point(5, 5))
point_feature_builder.set_attr("date", datetime.now())
writer.write(point_feature_builder.build("feature2"))

point_feature_builder.set_attr("the_geom", Point(-5, -5))
point_feature_builder.set_attr("date", datetime.now())
writer.write(point_feature_builder.build("feature3"))

# Close the writer
writer.close()

# Query the data (with no constraints)
query = VectorQueryBuilder().build()
results = datastore.query(query)
for feature in results:
    print(feature.get_id())
    print(feature.get_default_geometry())
results.close()

# Perform a count aggregation on the data (with a CQL constraint)
aggregation_query_builder = VectorAggregationQueryBuilder()
constraints = aggregation_query_builder.constraints_factory().cql_constraints("BBOX(the_geom, 0.5, 0.5, 5.5, 5.5)")
aggregation_query_builder.constraints(constraints)
aggregation_query_builder.count(point_type_adapter.get_type_name())
count = datastore.aggregate(aggregation_query_builder.build())
print(count)
```
## Dev Notes:

### Building a distributable wheel
To build a wheel file for `pygw`, simply execute the command `python setup.py bdist_wheel --python-tag=py3` under the active virtual environment.  This will create a distributable wheel under the `dist` directory.

### Building API documentation
This project has been documented using Python docstrings.  These can be used to generate full API documentation in HTML form. To generate the documentation, perform the following steps:
 - Ensure that the GeoWave Py4J Java Gateway Server is running: `geowave util python rungateway`
 - Generate documentation: `pdoc --html pygw`

 Note: This command requires that the python virtual environment is active and that the `pygw` requirements have been installed.  This will generate API documentation in the `html/pygw` directory.

### Submodule descriptions
In general each submodule tries to mimic the behavior of the GeoWave Java API.  If there is ever any question about how something should be done with the Python bindings, the answer is most likely the same as how it is done in Java.  The difference being that function names use underscores instead of camel case as is the convention in Java.  For example if the Java version of a class has a function `getName()`, the Python variant would be `get_name()`.

The main difference between the two APIs is how the modules are laid out.  The Python bindings use a simplified module structure to avoid bringing in all the unnecessary complexity of the Java packages that the Java variants belong to.

#### config
The `config` module includes a singleton object of type GeoWaveConfiguration called `gw_config` that handles all communication between python and the Py4J Java Gateway.  The module includes several shortcut objects to make accessing the gateway more convenient.  These include:
- *`java_gateway`* Py4J Gateway Object
- *`java_pkg`*: Shortcut for `java_gateway.jvm`.  Can be used to construct JVM objects like `java_pkg.org.geotools.feature.simple.SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder()`
- *`geowave_pkg`*: Similar to `java_pkg`, serves as a shortcut for `java_gateway.jvm.org.locationtech.geowave`.
- *`reflection_util`*: Direct access to the Py4J reflection utility.

These objects can be imported directly using `from pygw.config import <object_name>`.

NOTE: the GeoWaveConfiguration has an `init()` method. This is INTENTIONALLY not an `__init__` method. Initialization is attempted when the configuration is imported.

#### base
The `base` module includes common classes that are used by other modules.  This includes the base `GeoWaveObject` class that serves as a python wrapper for a java reference.  It also includes a `type_conversions` submodule that can be used to convert Python types to Java types that are commonly used in GeoWave.

#### geotools
The `geotools` module contains classes that wrap the functionality of geotools SimpleFeatures and SimpleFeatureTypes.  These classes can be used to create feature types, features, and data adapters based on simple features.

#### index
The `index` module contains classes that are used in creating spatial and spatial/temporal indices.

#### query
The `query` module contains classes that are used in constructing queries and their constraints.

#### store
The `store` module contains classes that can be used to establish connections to the various GeoWave backends.  Each store type has a submodule which contains a class that can be used to connect to that store type.  For example `from pygw.store.accumulo import AccumuloOptions`.  The `DataStore` object can be constructed by passing the options object to the `DataStoreFactory.create_data_store(<options>)` method.

#### debug.py
This exposes a function called `print_obj` that can be used to help with debugging raw java objects. It will print information about the object in question on both the Python side and on the Java server side. There's a `verbose` flag that will give you more information about the object in question.

### Notes:
- `j_`-prefixed notation : Java reference variables are prefixed with `j_` in order to distinguish them from Python variables

Great America amusement park had lax procedures in place at the wave pool where a 4-year-old San Jose boy drowned last summer, according to a state report released Friday.
Cal/OSHA investigators cited ill-prepared lifeguards and unenforced poolside safety warnings, among other things.
The state investigation into the death of Carlos Alejandro Flores, while concluding the boy was in the pool without "immediate adult supervision," also quoted a park worker as saying the boy's mother, Yolanda Flores, had left her 8-year-old daughter to look after Carlos in the water.
The boy died the afternoon of July 12 after he was found floating in the Great Barrier Reef wave pool, which sends out waves that resemble mild ocean swells. Carlos, who was 42 inches tall, drowned after a "wave cycle" moved through his part of the pool, a middle area that is about 35 inches deep during calm water but about 46 inches deep when waves are in motion, the report said.
The boy didn't know how to swim, according to the Cal/OSHA report.
The day after the drowning, Yolanda Flores said the Santa Clara amusement park was to blame for her son's death. She told reporters that there were only four lifeguards - not the six that should have been in place - at the time her son drowned. The Cal/OSHA report, however, said that six lifeguards were there that day.
Still, the report found that the guards were unclear about the exact areas of the pool they were supposed to watch. In addition, four of them had been in the same guard spot 30 minutes past the time they should have been rotated, the report said, referring to industry guidelines. It took the guards 39 seconds to respond to Carlos' accident, the report said, adding that lifeguards fail a response test if they take 30 seconds or longer to respond to a simulated drowning.
Robert Miranda, a San Jose attorney representing Yolanda Flores, said he couldn't discuss details of the Cal/OSHA report because the family is negotiating with Great America for damages. "We're in the process of settlement discussions," he said. "It would be inappropriate to make any comment."
A Cal/OSHA spokeswoman, Kate McGuire, said Great America has already taken the corrective measures recommended by her agency, including requiring that all children 42 inches or smaller be accompanied by a parent or adult, requiring all children under 48 inches to wear a floatation device, and rotating lifeguards in a more efficient manner.
The entrance to the Great Barrier Reef wave pool now has a checkpoint that's staffed by an attendant who ensures that small users are wearing vests and are supervised by an adult, said Great America spokesman Al Garcia.
At the time of Carlos' drowning, the report found, Great America did not enforce its poolside warning, which then read: "Adult supervision recommended, small children must not be left unattended at any time, and life vests are recommended for all children 42 inches and smaller."
Another Cal/OSHA requirement that has since been implemented requires float tubes to be transparent, which lets users see if they are bumping against anyone in the water. Carlos died, the report said, after apparently making contact with "a couple of swimmers and an inner tube."
The pool's brief closing, and media attention about Carlos' death, did not prompt a downturn in the number of people using the attraction, Garcia said.
In 2007, lifeguards made 15 rescues of people in the deeper end of the pool, which slopes down to 6 feet, and four rescues in the shallower end, the report said.
Drowning is the primary cause of death for children 5 and under in California, according to the San Mateo County Health Department.
In the minutes after Carlos' death, many of the on-duty lifeguards could only sit and cry, the report said.

Limassol residents will protest against an increasing number of high rise buildings in their coastal town on Saturday morning.
The protest is being organised by the Limassol Active Citizens' Initiative on Tall Buildings and will demand a freeze on all planning permits for the high rises.
They say their object to haphazard development, the construction of a wall blocking off the sea and to the building of 'ghost towers'.
The movement is calling for a strategic environmental impact study, problem planning and public consultation.
The protest will start at 10.45 near the GSO bridge on the coastal road.

Are we Social Media prisoners?
We have all been in situations where we are lying awake late at night with nothing to do or avoiding that preparation for an exam. Some would preferably read a book, but in all honestly most people would rather be on their phones reading about the next trend; the latest celebrity gossip; looking through an influencers' social media profile or simply just scrolling through their feed that is being endorsed by someone else who cannot sleep or study. Does that make us social media prisoners?
Social media can be used for a lot of positive things like communicating with friends and family that are miles away from us, generating money, and empowering the youth and everyone around the world just to name a few, but it can equally be negative. Cyber-bullying is one of the biggest crimes today and with the amount of time we spend on these platforms it is easy to get our privacy violated. Social media is taking up most of our time that could have been spent with family and on lost opportunities.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and WhatsApp can either build or break one's self confidence, all one has to do is post a picture or even give their opinion about something- anything. Some people might say that they don't care what people have to say about them but most are affected by all the negative comments made about them which have an effect on their psychological well being and the same applies with the direct opposite.
I think it's safe to say that social media platforms can be both positive and negative, it all depends on what you use it for and how you handle different situations.

Personalized Pens | How Personalized Pens Can Be Great Advertisement?
Promote, Promote, Promote, with Personalized Pens!
If you own a business, either big or small, advertising is the key to getting and keeping customers. But advertising can also be expensive. One form, promotional items, can be the answer that you are looking for.
1. When you use promotional items, such as personalized pens, they many times get passed around and seen by a large number of people.
2. Everyone likes a free item. When your company name and information is on it, they will see it for years to come, especially when it's something they use everyday, such as a pen.
3. Personalized pens are relatively inexpensive. Even a start-up company can afford to buy the least expensive pens in bulk, to have them on hand. More established companies may choose the higher quality pens, yet still save a ton in advertising costs.
The list goes on, but you get the idea. Promotional products work!
Personalized this pens with your 1 color logo or the text of your choice!
There are many varieties of personalized pens available to buy, and when you buy them in bulk, your company can save much money. For the companies that are just starting up or may have a low budget for advertising, stick pens may be the best choice to begin with. These cost the least, but still come in a variety of colors and styles, with plenty of room for your company information to be imprinted. With these prices, it's easy to leave them everywhere you go, include them in mailings, set them out for customers to take, or simply hand them out to customers, friends, co-workers and family.
There are still many varieties of personalized pens to buy, however. Choose the corporate pen, a metalized pen that has lots of room for company information. Try the retractable pens for your promotions, as many people like pens that can be closed up easily so as not to mark up their purses or pockets. Also available in a variety of sharp, bright colors that will attract attention! Or try the Billboard Pen, a great looking pen that provides the purchaser 3 full lines of text that will help show your message clearly.
Personalized pens work, and are available for purchase with fast delivery. Get your company name out there today!

\section{Introduction and basic lemmas}
Yuri Matiyasevich's theorem states that the set of all Diophantine equations which
have a solution in \mbox{non-negative} integers is not recursive, see \cite{Matiyasevich}.
Martin Davis' theorem states that the set of all Diophantine equations which have at most finitely many solutions
in positive integers is not recursive, see \cite{Davis}. Craig Smory\'nski's theorem states that
the set of all Diophantine equations which have at most finitely many solutions in \mbox{non-negative} integers is not
recursively enumerable, see \mbox{\cite[p.~104,~Corollary~1]{Smorynski1}} and \mbox{\cite[p.~240]{Smorynski2}}.

Let ${\cal P}$ denote the set of prime numbers, and let
\[
{\cal P}=\{p_1,q_1,r_1,p_2,q_2,r_2,p_3,q_3,r_3,\ldots\},
\]
where \mbox{$p_1<q_1<r_1<p_2<q_2<r_2<p_3<q_3<r_3<\ldots$}
\begin{lemma}\label{lem0}
For a \mbox{non-negative} integer $x$, let
$\prod_{i=1}^\infty\limits p_i^{\textstyle \alpha_i} \cdot q_i^{\textstyle \beta_i} \cdot r_i^{\textstyle \gamma_i}$
be the prime decomposition of \mbox{$x+1$}. For every positive integer $n$, the mapping which sends \mbox{$x \in \mathbb N$} to
\[
\left((-1)^{\textstyle \alpha_1} \cdot \frac{\textstyle \beta_1}{\textstyle \gamma_1+1},\ldots,(-1)^{\textstyle \alpha_n} \cdot \frac{\textstyle \beta_n}{\textstyle \gamma_n+1}\right) \in {\mathbb Q}^n
\]
is a computable surjection from $\mathbb N$ onto \mbox{${\mathbb Q}^n$}.
\end{lemma}
\vskip 0.2truecm
\par
Let \mbox{$s_n \colon \mathbb N \to {\mathbb Q}^n$} denote the surjection defined in Lemma~\ref{lem0}.
\noindent
\begin{lemma}\label{lem1}
For every infinite set \mbox{$R \subseteq \mathbb Q$},
a Diophantine equation \mbox{$D(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=0$} has no solutions
in \mbox{$x_1,\ldots,x_n \in R$} if and only if the equation \mbox{$D(x_1,\ldots,x_n)+0 \cdot x_{n+1}=0$} has at most
finitely many solutions in \mbox{$x_1,\ldots,x_{n+1} \in R$}.
\end{lemma}
\par
Let $R$ be a subring of~$\mathbb Q$ with or without $1$. By \mbox{$H_{10}(R)$}, we denote
the problem of whether there exists an algorithm which for any given Diophantine equation with integer coefficients,
can decide whether or not the equation has a solution in $R$.
\section{A positive solution to \mbox{$H_{10}(R)$} implies that the set of all
Diophantine equations with a finite number of solutions in $R$ is recursively enumerable}
In the next three lemmas we assume that \mbox{$\{0\} \subsetneq R \subseteq \mathbb Q$}
and \mbox{$r \cdot \mathbb Z \subseteq R$} for every \mbox{$r \in R$}. Every \mbox{non-zero}
subring $R$ of $\mathbb Q$ (with or without $1$) satisfies these conditions.
\begin{lemma}\label{April2019}
There exists a \mbox{non-zero} integer \mbox{$m \in R$}.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
There exist \mbox{$m,n \in \mathbb Z \setminus \{0\}$} such that \mbox{$\frac{\textstyle m}{\textstyle n} \in R$}.
Hence,
\mbox{$m=\frac{\textstyle m}{\textstyle n} \cdot n \in (\mathbb Z \setminus \{0\}) \cap R$}.
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}\label{4sq}
Let \mbox{$m \in (\mathbb Z \setminus \{0\}) \cap R$}. We claim that for every \mbox{$b \in R$},
\mbox{$b \neq 0$} if and only if the equation
\[
y \cdot b-m^2-\sum_{i=1}^4 y_i^2=0
\]
is solvable in \mbox{$y,y_1,y_2,y_3,y_4 \in R$}.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
If \mbox{$b=0$}, then for every \mbox{$y,y_1,y_2,y_3,y_4 \in R$},
\[
y \cdot b-m^2-y_1^2-y_2^2-y_3^2-y_4^2=-m^2-y_1^2-y_2^2-y_3^2-y_4^2 \leqslant -m^2<0
\]
If \mbox{$b \neq 0$}, then \mbox{$b=\frac{\textstyle p}{\textstyle q}$}, where \mbox{$p \in \mathbb N \setminus \{0\}$}
and \mbox{$q \in \mathbb Z \setminus \{0\}$}. In this case, we define $y$ as \mbox{$m^2 \cdot q$}
and observe that \mbox{$m^2 \cdot q=(m \cdot q) \cdot m \in R$} as \mbox{$m \cdot q \in R$} and \mbox{$m \in \mathbb Z$}.
Hence,
\[
y \cdot b=(m^2 \cdot q) \cdot \frac{\textstyle p}{\textstyle q}=m^2 \cdot p \in m^2 \cdot (\mathbb N \setminus \{0\})
\]
By Lagrange's \mbox{four-square} theorem, there exist \mbox{$t_1,t_2,t_3,t_4 \in \mathbb N$} such that
\[
\frac{y \cdot b-m^2}{m^2}=t_1^2+t_2^2+t_3^2+t_4^2
\]
Therefore,
\[
y \cdot b-m^2-(m \cdot t_1)^2-(m \cdot t_2)^2-(m \cdot t_3)^2-(m \cdot t_4)^2=0,
\]
where \mbox{$m \cdot t_1,~m \cdot t_2,~m \cdot t_3,~m \cdot t_4 \in R$}.
\end{proof}
\newpage
\begin{lemma}\label{trivial}
We can uniquely express every rational number $r$ as \mbox{$\widehat{~~r~~}/~\overline{r}$},
where \mbox{$\widehat{~~r~~} \in \mathbb Z$}, \mbox{$\overline{r} \in \mathbb N \setminus \{0\}$},
and the integers $\widehat{~~r~~}$ and $\overline{r}$ are relatively prime. If \mbox{$r \in R$},
then \mbox{$\widehat{~~r~~} \in R$}.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
For every \mbox{$r \in R$}, \mbox{$\widehat{~~r~~}=r \cdot \overline{r} \in r \cdot \mathbb Z \subseteq R$}.
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}\label{apr23}
Let $R$ be a \mbox{non-zero} subring of $\mathbb Q$ with or without $1$.
We claim that for every \mbox{$T_0,\ldots,T_k \in R^n$} and for every \mbox{$x_1,\ldots,x_n \in R$},
the following product
\begin{equation}\label{equ1}
\prod_{\textstyle \left(r_{1},\ldots,r_{n}\right) \in \left\{T_0,\ldots,T_k\right\}}\
\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left(x_{i} \cdot \overline{r_i} -\widehat{~~r_i~~}\right)^{2}
\end{equation}
differs from $0$ if and only if \mbox{$(x_1,\ldots,x_n) \not\in \{T_0,\ldots,T_k\}$}.
Product~(\ref{equ1}) belongs to $R$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
The last claim follows from Lemma~\ref{trivial}.
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}\label{3maj}
Let $R$ be a \mbox{non-zero} subring of $\mathbb Q$ (with or without $1$) such that
there exists an algorithm which for every \mbox{$(a,b) \in \mathbb Z \times (\mathbb Z \setminus \{0\})$}
decides whether or not \mbox{$\frac{\textstyle a}{\textstyle b} \in R$}.
Let \mbox{$\rho_n \colon {\mathbb Q}^n \to R^n$} denote the function
which equals the identity on \mbox{$R^n$} and equals \mbox{$(0,\ldots,0)$} outside \mbox{$R^n$}.
We claim that for every positive integer $n$ the function \mbox{$\rho_n \circ s_n \colon \mathbb N \to R^n$}
is surjective and computable.
\end{lemma}
\begin{theorem}\label{the6}
Let $R$ be a \mbox{non-zero} subring of $\mathbb Q$ (with or without $1$) such that
Hilbert's 10th Problem for solutions in $R$ has a positive solution. We claim
that the set of all Diophantine equations with a finite number of solutions
in~$R$ is recursively enumerable.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
By Lemma~\ref{April2019}, there exists a \mbox{non-zero} integer \mbox{$m \in R$}.
For every \mbox{$(a,b) \in \mathbb Z \times (\mathbb Z \setminus \{0\})$}, the solvability in $R$
of the equation \mbox{$b \cdot x-a=0$} is decidable. Hence,
for every \mbox{$(a,b) \in \mathbb Z \times (\mathbb Z \setminus \{0\})$} we can decide whether
or not \mbox{$\frac{\textstyle a}{\textstyle b} \in R$}.
By \mbox{Lemmas~\ref{4sq} and~\ref{apr23}}, the answer to the question in Flowchart~1 is positive
if and only if the equation \mbox{$D(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=0$} is solvable in \mbox{$R^n \setminus \{\theta(0),\ldots,\theta(k)\}$}.
Hence, by Lemma~\ref{3maj}, the algorithm in Flowchart~1 halts if and only if the equation \mbox{$D(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=0$}
has at most finitely many solutions in $R$.
\begin{center}

\end{proof}
\par
Theorem~\ref{the6} remains true when \mbox{$R=\{0\}$}.
The flowchart algorithm depends on \mbox{$m \in (\mathbb Z \setminus \{0\}) \cap R$}.
For a constructive proof of Theorem~\ref{the6}, we must compute an element of \mbox{$(\mathbb Z \setminus \{0\}) \cap R$}.
By Lemma~\ref{3maj}, the function \mbox{$\rho_n \circ s_n \colon \mathbb N \to R^n$} is computable and surjective.
We compute the smallest \mbox{$i \in \mathbb N$} such that \mbox{$(\rho_n \circ s_n)(i)$}
starts with a \mbox{non-zero} integer. This integer belongs to \mbox{$(\mathbb Z \setminus \{0\}) \cap R$}.
\section{If the set of all Diophantine equations with a finite
number of solutions in $R$ is recursively enumerable, then $H_{10}(R)$ has a positive solution}
Starting from this moment up to the end of Theorem~\ref{the5}, we assume that $R$ is an infinite subset
of~$\mathbb Q$ and there exist computable functions \mbox{$\tau_1,\tau_2 \colon \mathbb N \to \mathbb Z$} which satisfy
\[
(\forall n \in \mathbb N ~\tau_2(n) \neq 0) \wedge \left(\left\{\frac{\textstyle \tau_1(n)}{\textstyle \tau_2(n)}:~n \in \mathbb N\right\}=R\right)
\]
In other words, the function
$\mathbb N \ni n \stackrel{\textstyle \tau}{\longrightarrow} \frac{\textstyle \tau_1(n)}{\textstyle \tau_2(n)} \in R$
is surjective and computable. Hence, the function \mbox{$(\tau,\ldots,\tau): {\mathbb N}^n \to R^n$} is surjective
and computable.
\begin{lemma}\label{may6}
Let \mbox{$\sigma_n \colon {\mathbb Q}^n \to {\mathbb N}^n$} denote the function which equals the
identity on \mbox{${\mathbb N}^n$} and equals \mbox{$(0,\ldots,0)$} outside \mbox{${\mathbb N}^n$}.
We claim that for every positive integer $n$ the function
\mbox{$(\tau,\ldots,\tau) \circ \sigma_n \circ s_n \colon \mathbb N \to R^n$}
is surjective and computable.
\end{lemma}
\begin{theorem}\label{the5}
If the set of all Diophantine equations which have at most finitely many solutions in $R$
is recursively enumerable, then there exists an algorithm which decides whether or not a given Diophantine
equation has a solution in $R$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Suppose that \mbox{$\{{\cal S}_i=0\}_{i=0}^\infty$} is a computable sequence of all Diophantine equations which have
at most finitely many solutions in~$R$. By Lemma~\ref{lem1},
the execution of Flowchart 2 decides whether or not a Diophantine equation \mbox{$D(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=0$}
has a solution in~$R$.
The flowchart algorithm uses a computable surjection \mbox{$\varphi \colon \mathbb N \to R^n$}
(which exists by Lemma~\ref{may6}).
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{flo2.pdf}
\end{center}
\vskip 0.01truecm
\centerline{{\bf Flowchart 2}}
\vskip 0.2truecm
\noindent
The flowchart algorithm always terminates because there exists a \mbox{non-negative} integer $i$
such that
\[
(D(x_1,\ldots,x_n)+0 \cdot x_{n+1}={\cal S}_i) \vee (D(\varphi(i))=0)
\]
Indeed, for every Diophantine equation \mbox{$D(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=0$},
the flowchart algorithm finds a solution in $R$,
or finds the equation \mbox{$D(x_1,\ldots,x_n)+0 \cdot x_{n+1}=0$} on the infinite
list \mbox{$[{\cal S}_0,{\cal S}_1,{\cal S}_2,\ldots]$} if the equation \mbox{$D(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=0$}
is not solvable in $R$.
\end{proof}

If the central leadership decides to legislate the proposed amendment, the state BJP unit of Mizoram would have no option but to dissolve itself,"- John V Hluna.
Mizoram BJP chief John V Hluna threatened to dissolve the party's state unit if the national leadership goes ahead with the passage of the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, "harming the interests of northeast people". He stressed that people of Mizoram and their safety were of "primary importance".
"The BJP state unit was formed to safeguard the interests of the people of Mizoram. If the central leadership decides to legislate the proposed amendment, the state BJP unit of Mizoram would have no option but to dissolve itself," Hluna told reporters here.
He said he had approached Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and other national leaders over the controversial bill and appealed to the party's central leadership to revoke it.
"We would be left with no choice but to dissolve the BJP state unit if our appeals are not taken into consideration," Hluna said.
The churches in the Christian-majority state have been asked to organise a mass prayer for the bill's defeat in Parliament, he said.
Protests against the bill have rocked the entire northeast, including the Mizo National Front-ruled Mizoram.


I propose the concept of "ignoring" to capture situations in which government officials appear dismissive (either through inaction or contempt) of popular mobilization. The concept refers not only to actions by regime officials but also captures protesters' perceptions of those actions. Examples of ignoring include not communicating with protesters, issuing condescending statements, physically evading protesters, or acting with contempt toward popular mobilization. Existing conceptual tools do not adequately capture these dynamics. Although repression and concessions have been extensively theorized, scholars lack conceptual tools to understand responses that fall short of both repression and concessions. I introduce the concept of "ignoring" as a useful tool to focus on a subset of actions on the part of regime officials who are the targets of mobilization, with discernible consequences for subsequent mobilization. Drawing on research on the role of emotions in protest politics and on framing and social movements, I argue that ignoring protests can trigger emotional responses that encourage people to engage in protest, such as anger, indignation, and outrage. By integrating protesters' perceptions of the behavior of the targets of mobilization, not just of the security forces, the concept of "ignoring" helps explain protesters' reactions and their future mobilization, in a way that conventional concepts such as tolerance cannot capture. This analysis has important implications for broader theoretical debates on the relationship between regime response to protests and subsequent mobilization. Most importantly, it urges scholars to consider how ignoring can interact with other responses to mobilization, thereby altering the dynamics of the infamous the "concession-repression dilemma." I use evidence from workers' protests in late Mubarak Egypt to illustrate these dynamics.

These unique vegan tamales are a blend of traditional flavor and unconventional fillings. Lentils, green beans and carrots mingle with our spicy, savory, and slightly sweet Mami's Mole Sauce. Dark green French lentils (also known as puy lentils) hold their texture throughout cooking and give the filling a rich, earthy flavor and texture that goes perfectly with our mole. We make our tamales in the traditional way, and our masa is always perfectly moist, and in just the right ratio to the filling.
We recommend topping these tamales with our Mami's Mole Sauce. Heat the mole, thin it a little with water or broth, and drizzle over the top.

A dessert is a type of food that is eaten after lunch or dinner, and sometimes after a light meal or snack. It is usually a sweet food, like ice cream, cookies, and cakes. In some countries, cheeses such as Brie cheese and fruit are served as dessert.[1] Some desserts are made from natural resources like fruit juice used in sherbet. Others are simple, like pudding and birthday cake. Many desserts are baked (cooked in an oven). Some desserts are served with whipped cream as a topping.
The term dessert can apply to many confections, such as biscuits, cakes, cookies, custards, gelatin's, ice creams, pastries, pies, puddings, sweet soups, and tarts. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savoury to create desserts.

Types of desserts[change | change source]
Baked desserts[change | change source]
Baked desserts are made by putting the ingredients in a hot oven. Baked desserts include cakes and muffins (a mixture of flour, eggs, sugar, oil, baking powder, and flavorings); sweet breads such as banana bread and raisin bread (a mixture of flour, sugar, oil, baking powder, and flavorings); cookies such as chocolate chip cookies (a mixture of flour, eggs, sugar, oil, and flavorings). Puddings and custards (a mixture of milk, eggs, sugar, and flavorings) can be made in the oven.
Fried desserts[change | change source]
Fried desserts are made using a cooking process called deep frying. To deep-fry food, a large pot filled with oil is heated, and then the food is placed into the pot. Deep-fried desserts include doughnuts.
Frozen desserts[change | change source]
Frozen desserts are made by blending the ingredients in a freezer. Frozen desserts include ice cream (a mixture of cream, milk, sugar, and flavorings), milk shakes (a mixture of ice cream, milk, and flavorings), and sherbet (also spelled "sorbet") (a mixture of water, sugar, and flavorings).
Chilled desserts[change | change source]
Some desserts are made without using the oven or the freezer. Trifle is an English dessert made by soaking ladyfinger biscuits in sherry, covering them with whipped cream, and then letting it chill in the refrigerator. Some types of instant pudding and instant mousse desserts can be made without cooking; a person simply mixes the instant pudding powder with milk and chills it in the refrigerator.

Governments which deregulate their financial sector are no longer able to set low interest rates, direct credit to where it is needed in the economy, or to differentiate between loans that are for productive purposes from those that are for speculative purposes. Rather than the banks being accountable to governments, governments become accountable to the international financial markets.
The essence of democracy is the pursuit of policies in the interests of the people… An economy exposed to the free flow of international finance capital, however, is obsessed with the need to appease international financiers, to retain their 'confidence': the thrust of policies in such an economy therefore, even in principle, is not towards serving the interests of the people but towards serving the interests of the speculators, which represents an inversion of democracy.
Reference: Peter Norman, 'Survey of World Economy and Finance', Financial Times, 30 September, 1994.
Because they process the many billions of dollars worth of investments flowing across national borders each day, the markets have become the police, judge and jury of the world economy—a worrying thought given that they tend to view events and policies through the distorting lenses of fear and greed.
Rising share prices have come to be the final arbiter of good policy. Forget opinion polls that show the public is opposed to privatization and deregulation and is fearful of massive corporate and government downsizing. The only real poll that counts is the stock market. And whilst such policies elicit positive market responses, politicians know them to be right.
Countries can still retain a veneer of democracy with choice between major parties, but because of the constraints imposed by the need to please international financial markets, the policy differences between the major parties is minimal. Whether it is a Labour Party in Britain or Australia, or a Peronist President in Argentina, or the BJP in India, they all adopt the same free market policies. Governments that try to deviate are punished by the markets.
Reference: Stephen Bell, Ungoverning the Economy: The Political Economy of Australian Economic Policy, Melbourne, Oxford University Press, 1997, p. 105.
The 'soundness' of policy settings in particular countries will be judged by those bodies that control international financial capital—particularly the major international banks, large transnational corporations with major financial dealing, fund managers within key private financial institutions, and the key credit-ratings agencies (such as Moody's). These judgements will be reflected in the value the 'markets' place on the currencies of the particular countries, on the attractiveness of various countries for foreign investors, and on the cost and availability of credit.

Following the Asian crisis when speculators led the flight of capital out of Asia, the Malaysian government decided to introduce capital controls and fix the exchange rate of the Malaysian currency. The international financial community was incensed. Fund manager, Mark Mobius, fearing it could set a precedent, called for wealthy countries to 'severely punish' Prime Minister Mohammed Mahathir (pictured). He, himself, subsequently withdrew some $2 billion in investment from Malaysia. Morgan Stanley took Malaysia off its influential Capital International Index. It reinstated it when Mahathir lifted the controls.

Similarly Edison, from the IMF, and Reinhart, in a paper provided by the US Federal Reserve, found that the controls did help to increase interest rates, stabilize the currency and give more policy autonomy to the Malaysian government.

Stiglitz, who was World Bank chief economist at the time, also admitted the success of the capital controls in Malaysia and some thought this heralded a change in policy at the Bank. Instead, Stiglitz was forced to resign from the Bank, following pressure on the Bank's President from US Treasury Secretary, Lawrence Summers. The Bank had not turned, nor did investors. In order to attract foreign investors, Mahathir was finally forced in 2001 to lift the last of the controls, excluding the fixed exchange rate, so as to attract foreign investors back to Malaysia.

The method is simple: combine fresh milk, cold water and a bit of sugar. Boil it for a few minutes to thicken, let it cool and then freeze it overnight.
The recipe is one that a group of women in northern Senegal hope is a formula for a better future.
As a side investment to the Millennium Challenge Corporation's five-year, $540 million compact with Senegal, a group of 125 women in the northern city of Ndioum received training to start a cooperative that creates and sells packets of a sweet dairy product.
Many of the women in the group are refugees from Mauritania who have been living in Senegal for more than a decade but were often unable to find work. The program was part of MCC's larger investment to rebuild the highway that runs through Ndioum to help ensure residents from diverse backgrounds benefit from the project.
MCC invested $325 million in roads that lead to major national and international markets for Senegalese farmers and businesses. By rebuilding the 75-mile RN2 highway in the country's north – a key link between Senegalese cities and markets in Mauritania and Mali -- MCC is helping to stimulate regional trade.
The women's group received training on business development and marketing, as well as a grant to purchase needed equipment.
Leila Diallo, 25, joined the group when it formed in summer 2014 to help pay health and school fees for her two children. She helps make the dairy product at a small brick building the group rents, and she occasionally helps sell it at the local market and bus station.
On an average day, the sellers can bring in revenues of about $8.
The group eventually plans to purchase a larger building and a larger refrigerator so they can sell more products, group member Assiata Hamidou Ba said.
Like others in the group, Ba preferred not to talk much about her life before coming to Ndioum -- but the dairy business gives her reason to smile.
"This will be the path to a better life," she said.
Beneficiaries of MCC investments routinely share stories of how their lives have changed for the better. After a compact is completed, MCC funds independent evaluations. of project impact, which can be found in MCC's evaluation catalog.

Boys lured, robbed in taxi

Saafia February | September 12, 2018
Three school boys in Salt River were robbed of their cellphones after they were lured into a taxi on Monday afternoon.
The learners, from Wesley Primary in Durham Avenue and another high school boy, had been inside the school and were called by a man who convinced them to get into a taxi.
The taxi belongs to a trusted school transport driver.
According to a message the principal sent to parents, the unknown man had lied to the children.
"The two Wesley learners (and) one high school learner got into the vehicle because they know the gentleman as a transport driver. However, there was another man who spun a story to the boys that the principal of Wesley (myself) asked them to collect a few items for me at an unknown location. This guy lured them from the premises and into the vehicle.
"He then robbed the boys. We are not sure if he told the same story about picking up stuff for me to the driver because the learners reported that the driver looked as shocked as them.
"The man got out of the vehicle somewhere in Main Road towards town and got into a taxi going in the opposite direction.
"The driver returned the learners to school and picked up his usual learners and drove off.
"The initial suspicion is that the driver was not involved, but the police are investigating the matter. The kids are safe," the palie's message read.
Western Cape Education Department spokesperson, Millicent Merton, confirms the incident.
"Counselling will be provided to the learners. The school will also call a parent meeting," Merton explains.
Police spokesperson, Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana, says police are investigating a case of robbery.
"The unknown suspect is yet to be arrested," Rwexana says.

Co-stimulation is a secondary signal which immune cells rely on to activate an immune response in the presence of an antigen-presenting cell. In the case of T cells, two stimuli are required to fully activate their immune response. During the activation of lymphocytes, co-stimulation is often crucial to the development of an effective immune response. Co-stimulation is required in addition to the antigen-specific signal from their antigen receptors.

T cell co-stimulation
T cells require two signals to become fully activated. A first signal, which is antigen-specific, is provided through the T cell receptor (TCR) which interacts with peptide-MHC molecules on the membrane of an antigen presenting cell (APC). A second signal, the co-stimulatory signal, is antigen nonspecific and is provided by the interaction between co-stimulatory molecules expressed on the membrane of the APC and the T cell. This interaction promotes and enhances the TCR signaling, but can also be bi-directional. The co-stimulatory signal is necessary for T cell proliferation, differentiation and survival. Activation of T cells without co-stimulation may lead to the unresponsiveness of the T cell (also called anergy), apoptosis or the acquisition of the immune tolerance.

The counterpart of the co-stimulatory signal is a (co-)inhibitory signal, where inhibitory molecules interact with different signaling pathways in order to arrest T cell activation. Mostly known inhibitory molecules are CTLA4 and PD1, used in cancer immunotherapy.

In T cell biology there are several co-stimulatory molecules from different protein families. Mostly studied are those belonging to Immunoglobulin super-family (IgSF) (such as CD28, B7, ICOS, CD226 or CRTAM) and TNF receptor super-family (TNFRSF) (such as 41-BB, OX40, CD27, GITR, HVEM, CD40, BAFFR, BAFF and others). Additionally, some co-stimulatory molecules belong to TIM family, CD2/SLAM family or BTN/BTN-like family.

The surface expression of different co-stimulatory molecules is regulated on a transcriptional and post-transcriptional level, but also by endocytosis. The dynamics of the receptor expression usually depends on the cell state. Some molecules are permanently expressed on non-stimulated cells, such as CD28, others only after TCR triggering, for example 41-BB or CD27.

Mechanism of function
Generally, the mechanism of function of co-stimulatory molecules is based on the overlap of their signaling pathway with the primary (TCR) signal and the induction of other, distal pathways often using different routes, leading to the enhancement of TCR signal and expression of effector genes. Additionally, co-stimulatory signaling can also have a unique outcome.

The example of IgSF molecule is one of the most important co-stimulatory molecules expressed on T cells, CD28, which interacts predominantly with CD80 (B7.1) and CD86 (B7.2), but also with B7-H2 (ICOS-L) in humans, present on the membrane of activated APCs. It is constitutively localized, among other important T cell signaling molecules, in the central SMAC (supramolecular activation complex) of the immunological synapse. Its signaling is involved in the recruitment of proteinkinase C θ (PKCθ), Ras GEF and Ras GRP to the synapse. Moreover, it induces the activity of NFAT and NFκB transcription factors through interaction with lymphocyte cell-specific protein-tyrosine kinase (LCK) and GRB2 and/or activation of phopshoinositol-3-Kinase (PI3K) resulting in Akt kinase activation, promoting T cell proliferation and IL-2 production. Additionally, it's involved in other biochemical functions of the cell, including T cell metabolism, post-translational protein modifications or cytoskeletal remodeling.

Another costimulatory receptor expressed on T cells is ICOS ( Inducible Costimulator), which interacts with ICOS-L expressed mainly on the APCs. This receptor is genetically closely related to CD28 but cannot substitute for its function. Among many similarities with CD28, it also induces Akt activity through PI3K activation and promotes proliferation. However, there are differences in these pathways, which contribute to the disparity between CD28 and ICOS signaling.

Signaling through co-stimulatory molecules from TNFRSF often involves the interaction with TRAF adaptor proteins to enhance T cell stimulation. For instance, 41-BB (CD137; TNFRSF9) is a signaling molecule expressed mainly on T cells, but also on NK cells. Due to extracellular galectin 9 binding, 41-BB complexes are kept preassembled on the membrane. It interacts with TRAF1 and TRAF2 adaptor proteins, which are involved in pathway eventually leading to NFκB translocation to the nucleus, as well as MAPK/ERK pathway

OX40 (CD134; TNFRSF4) is another co-stimulatory molecule expressed after T cell activation, but in the later timepoints, since it inhibits apoptosis and increases survival rate several days after the stimulation.

Co-stimulation in different T cell types
CD28 is important practically for all T cell types, but some other co-stimulatory molecules are expressed in some cell types more than in others.

CD2 was shown to prime naive T cells (TN) even without CD28 or TCR. Also, CD27 is a receptor constituively expressed on TN (its expression is downregulated upon TCR stimulation) and enhances T cell proliferation.

The differentiation of T helper cells (TH) into different subsets also partially depends on their co-stimulatory molecules. TIM1, TIM4, ICOS, CD3 or DR3 and several molecules from the SLAM family were shown to induce polarization towards TH2. In contrast, CD27 and HVEM promote TH1 polarization. OX40 and ICOS expression was linked to T folicular helper (TFH) differentiation and maintenance. Regulatory T cells (TREG) need CD28 signal for their generation and ICOS signal for their peripheral maintenance and survival. In contrast, HVEM, GITR and CD30 are suppressing their activity.

Effector T cells are mainly regulated by TNFRSF molecules, such as 41-BB, CD27, OX40, DR3 or GITR, which enhance their proliferation and survival.

Memory T cells TM were also shown to necessitate co-stimulatory signals. Apart from CD28; ICOS, 41-BB, OX40, TIM3, CD30, BTLA or CD27 were also shown to play role in the proper formation and later signaling of TM.

B cell co-stimulation
B cell binds antigens with its BCR (a membrane-bound antibody), which transfers intracellular signals to the B cell as well as inducing the B cell to engulf the antigen, process it, and present it on the MHC II molecules. The latter case induces recognition by antigen-specific Th2 cells or Tfh cells, leading to activation of the B cell through binding of TCR to the MHC-antigen complex. It is followed by synthesis and presentation of CD40L (CD154) on the Th2 cell, which binds to CD40 on the B cell, thus the Th2 cell can co-stimulate the B cell. Without this co-stimulation the B cell cannot proliferate further.

Co-stimulation for B cells is provided alternatively by complement receptors. Microbes may activate the complement system directly and complement component C3b bind to microbes. After C3b is degraded into a fragment iC3b (inactive derivative of C3b), then cleaved to C3dg, and finally to C3d, which continue to bind to microbial surface, B cells express complement receptor CR2 (CD21) to bind to iC3b, C3dg, or C3d. This additional binding makes the B cells 100- to 10,000-fold more sensitive to antigen. CR2 on mature B cells forms a complex with CD19 and CD81. This complex is called the B cell coreceptor complex for such sensitivity enhancement to the antigen.

Applications
Abatacept (Orencia) is a T cell co-stimulation modulator approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The cytokines secreted by activated T cells are thought to both initiate and propagate the immunologically driven inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Orencia, a soluble fusion protein, works by altering the co-stimulatory signal required for full T-cell activation. Belatacept is another novel molecule which is being tested  as an anti-rejection medication for use in renal transplantation.

A new co-stimulatory superagonistic drug, TGN1412, was the subject of a clinical trial at Northwick Park Hospital, London. The trial became surrounded in controversy as the six volunteers became seriously ill within minutes of being given the drug.

In essence, the co-stimulatory molecules function as "flashing red lights" that interact with the T cell, communicating that the material being presented by the dendritic cell material indicates danger. Dendritic cells displaying co-stimulatory molecules while presenting antigen are able to activate T cells. In contrast, T cells that recognize antigen presented by a dendritic cell not displaying co-stimulatory molecules are generally driven to apoptosis, or may become unresponsive to future encounters with the antigen.
