Animal models of enterovirus 71 infection: Applications and limitations
Ya Fang Wang, Chun Keung Yu
Department of Microbiology and Immunology
Human enterovirus 71 (EV71) has emerged as a neuroinvasive virus that is responsible for several outbreaks in the Asia-Pacific region over the past 15 years. Appropriate animal models are needed to understand EV71 neuropathogenesis better and to facilitate the development of effective vaccines and drugs. Non-human primate models have been used to characterize and evaluate the neurovirulence of EV71 after the early outbreaks in late 1990s. However, these models were not suitable for assessing the neurovirulence level of the virus and were associated with ethical and economic difficulties in terms of broad application. Several strategies have been applied to develop mouse models of EV71 infection, including strategies that employ virus adaption and immunodeficient hosts. Although these mouse models do not closely mimic human disease, they have been applied to determine the pathogenesis of and treatment and prevention of the disease. EV71 receptor-transgenic mouse models have recently been developed and have significantly advanced our understanding of the biological features of the virus and the host-parasite interactions. Overall, each of these models has advantages and disadvantages, and these models are differentially suited for studies of EV71 pathogenesis and/or the pre-clinical testing of antiviral drugs and vaccines. In this paper, we review the characteristics, applications and limitation of these EV71 animal models, including non-human primate and mouse models.

Manne, Robert: How we came to be so cruel to asylum seekers
Manne, Robert
'How we came to be so cruel to asylum seekers', The Conversation, 26 October 2016 updated
'If you had been told 30 years ago that Australia would create the least asylum seeker friendly institutional arrangements in the world, you would not have been believed.' So Manne commences this essay, an extract from a lecture delivered in Brisbane. (Robert Manne is one of Honest History's distinguished supporters.)
He then looks at five possible explanations for this state of affairs: immigration absolutism (a partial throwback to White Australia); party politics; bureaucratic inertia; groupthink; the banality of evil. The last was a concept coined by Hannah Arendt to apply to the Nazi Adolf Eichmann. She meant that evil acts occur because people become blind to what is happening. Though Manne sees each of his five explanations as contributory, he particularly argues that the concept of the banality of evil applies in the present case:
They [the prime minister, ministers and senior officials] are willing to allow this to happen because they no longer possess, in the Arendtian sense, the ability to see what it is that they are doing, and because the majority of the nation has become accustomed to thinking of what we are doing as perfectly normal.
Meanwhile, columnist and commentator Waleed Aly published a piece in the New York Times, a paper which has recently taken a close interest in Australian policy. Aly refers to the mantra, 'we stopped the boats':
This is the great sedative of Australian politics: dulling our attention, rendering all else some indecipherable white noise we only vaguely register before we fall asleep. Then we can snooze through any bombshell.
In his piece, Robert Manne writes that one factor driving policy is an 'irrational but consensual mindset that has Canberra in its grip: the conviction that even one concession to human kindness will send a message to the people smugglers and bring the whole system crashing down'. Today (30 October) Prime Minister Turnbull announced a new element to policy:
The prime minister will seek to blacklist for life all asylum seekers who have tried to come to Australia on boats since mid-2013. They will never be able to enter Australia on any type of visa, including as tourists or for business reasons, even if they've been found to be refugees under the legislation going to parliament next week.
Update 31 October 2016: Sean Kelly in The Monthly Today on the proposed new legislation:
When a nation truly believes that anything can be justified, and that principles can always be jettisoned, provided the goal is sufficiently important, then it has reached a dangerous place. It is a place at which we stop asking "What type of a country do we want to be?" We are not there yet, but perhaps we are not as far away as we would like.
Michael Brull in New Matilda and Alex Reilly in The Conversation. Plus Christos Tsiolkas from 2013. And Dr John Nieuwenhuysen, former immigration researcher.
Update 7 November 2016: Robert Manne wonders if the latest government policy proposal ('not get in ever') might finally split off the Labor Party from the government on asylum seekers. 'The government's new legislation is an opportunity for Labor to end 15 years of bipartisan cruelty to asylum seekers.'
Update 8 November 2016: Labor Caucus unanimously rejects government's proposal. Andrew Jakubowicz suggests Australian policies are the future for Europe, too.
Update 22 November 2016: John Menadue, head of the Prime Minister's Department under Malcolm Fraser, comments on allegations about immigration policy at that time. (John Menadue is one of Honest History's distinguished supporters.) Ian Macphee, Fraser's immigration minister, on the same subject.

Thomas Sowell: The 'diversity' fraud
Today, as in the past, diversity is essentially a fancy word for group quotas.
Nothing so epitomizes the politically correct gullibility of our times as the magic word "diversity." The wonders of diversity are proclaimed from the media, extolled in the academy and confirmed in the august chambers of the Supreme Court of the United States. But have you ever seen one speck of hard evidence to support the lofty claims?Although diversity has become one of the leading buzzwords of our time, it has a history that goes back several generations. In the early twentieth century, the principle of geographic diversity was used to conceal bias against Jews in the admission of students to Harvard and other leading academic institutions.
Because the Jewish population was concentrated in New York and other east coast communities at that time, quota limits on how many Jewish students would be admitted were concealed by saying that Harvard wanted a diverse student body, consisting of students from around the country.
Therefore some highly qualified Jewish applicants could be passed over, in favor of less qualified applicants from the Midwest or other regions of the country.
My own first encounter with the idea of geographic diversity occurred more than half a century ago, when I was an undergraduate at Harvard, and worked as a photographer for the university news office, in order to help pay the bills.
The instructions I was given were to concentrate on taking photos of students from other parts of the country, rather than from the east coast, from which Harvard already received more than enough applicants. The idea was to encourage applications from places that would produce a geographically diverse student body.
It struck me as an odd idea at the time, but I was being paid to take pictures, not make university policy. Moreover, I had no idea how such a policy had originated and, by the 1950s, it might have been continued from inertia, for all I know. Meanwhile, I could enjoy seeing publicity photos I took appearing in newspapers in Chicago and elsewhere beyond the east coast.
Fast forward to today. It is common, at colleges and universities across the country, for the test scores of Asian American students who have been admitted to a given college to be higher than the test scores of whites or of blacks or Hispanics.
That may not seem strange, since that is true of test scores in general. But, at any given institution, applying the same standards to all, the test scores of students at a particular institution would tend to be similar. More Asian Americans would be admitted to higher ranked colleges and universities, however, if the same standards were applied to all.
In short, something very much like the quota limits that were applied to Jews in the past are now being applied to Asian Americans — and, once again, are being justified by diversity.
But what justifies diversity? Nothing but unsupported assertions, repeated endlessly, piously and loudly.
Today, as in the past, diversity is essentially a fancy word for group quotas. It is one of a number of wholly subjective criteria — such as "leadership" — used to admit students to colleges and universities according to their group membership, rather than according to their individual qualifications.
This is not something new. Nor is it something confined to the United States. Very similar patterns were found more than a decade ago, when doing research for my book "Affirmative Action Around the World."
In India, the courts' attempts to rein in some academic quotas were met by a proliferation of new, and wholly subjective, admissions criteria. Individuals from groups that were not as qualified by objective criteria were simply ranked higher on subjective criteria and admitted.
In the United States, the Supreme Court itself has long been part of such game-playing when it comes to affirmative action. Back in 1978, an opinion by Justice Lewis F. Powell banned racial quotas with one hand and created "diversity" as a criterion with the other. In other words, colleges were told in effect that they can have racial quotas, but they just can't call them racial quotas.
According to the Constitution, "We the People" are supposed to decide what laws and policies we live under. But not if we can be so easily fooled by courts using slippery words like "diversity."

Ask Scotland
28 Feb Ask Scotland
Your chance to ask Scots what they think about Scottish
ASK SCOTLAND – click here
Opinion polls tell us that Scots feel alienated from the independence referendum campaign and political decision making in general.
Is it any wonder that a large number of Scots, especially in areas of extreme poverty, do not feel that they can influence their nation's future by going to the polling station?
Scottish Times would like to change this. The social media explosion has shown that the old model of newspaper editors manipulating popular opinion in cahoots with politicians has had its day.
Opinion polls do ask people what they think on certain issues but who makes up the questions? Those who commission them – political parties.
It is time ordinary Scots were asked the questions that ordinary Scots want answered.
Take for example the independence referendum. The vast majority of the population of Scotland feels locked out of the debate and believe that politicians will decide the fate of the nation behind closed doors.
ST wants to put the future of Scotland in the hands of the people. We want to ask the questions you want answered.

Waterval Boven resident Mr. Rudolph Pretorius is hopping mad about the ongoing problems with "dirty" water experienced in the town over an extended period. And it seems he is not the only one… A number of other Boven residents have subsequently come forward to complain bitterly about the same problem – many of whom have shared hair-raising stories with THG journalists, as well as supplying a number of images to back up their claims.
On further investigation, it would seem that, in many cases, their claims are valid. The accompanying pictures have not been altered in any way and clearly show that there is something wrong with the water. In many instances, it comes out of the tap a "murky, brown" colour. If a sample remains undisturbed for a few minutes, whatever is suspended in the water quickly settles to the bottom and forms a dirty, brown layer. Definitely not what the average resident wants to see in their drinking water. And the problems caused by this sediment go a lot further as well. Residents routinely have to call in local contractor Mr. Wouter Erasmus, to clean out their clogged "lacto" valves at the point where the municipal mains water supply enters their homes – at (at least) a cost of R250 a pop. Once it gets into people's homes, it also accumulates in the hot water geysers – eventually clogging the entire system and often resulting in geyser failure. Here, the damage is a lot more expensive. Mr. Erasmus reported that he has personally been involved in the repair and/or replacement of "dozens of geysers" over an extended period, almost all of which, according to Erasmus, "are as a direct result of high sediment levels in the municipal water supply".
So, what to do? There is definitely a problem, so THG journalists approached Emakhazeni Local Municipality (ELM) officials for answers. And the answers are actually quite surprising – and not quite as straightforward as may be expected. According to an ELM official directly involved with the bulk water supply to not only Boven, but also the other three towns in the ELM municipal area, officials are not only aware of the problem but have already taken steps in the past to address the problem and are currently completing further measures aimed at finally eliminating the problem. The current system was explained as follows: Boven simultaneously utilises both an "old" and a "new" water treatment plant in order to supply sufficient good quality water to residents. Not necessarily the best system but, due to budget constraints, the only one available. It was demonstrated to THG how the "raw" water is first treated with lime to correct the Ph level and then a flocculant is added to begin the process of separating any sediments that may be in the water, before it passes through a combination of sand filters and settling ponds. Finally, very small quantities of chlorine are added to remove any remaining bacteria or micro-organisms before the purified water is pumped to the town's reservoirs for use. A simple, but efficient system that, most of the time, works well.
It would seem that the problem seems set to become a recurring one due to, ultimately, circumstances beyond the control of ELM. It would seem prudent for all affected residents to, where possible, be vigilant and take responsibility for the monitoring of their own water quality with a view to flushing their individual water systems before a problem arises.

Dominion Awarded Final Permit for Transmission Line Project
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — An eastern Virginia county has awarded Dominion Energy the final permit it needs for a transmission line project that would cross the James River near Jamestown.
The James City County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 late Tuesday to approve a switching station along the Surry-Skiffes Creek transmission line, which has drawn opposition from preservation groups that say it will blight views in the historic area.
A portion of the line will cross the James lofted by 17 towers, some nearly 300 feet high.
Dominion says it's urgently needed to provide reliable electric service to the region. The company says it carefully considered where the line would cross the river to reduce impacts on views and the environment.
State and federal regulators have already granted the necessary approvals for the line itself.

The post "FinTech to compete with Banks in 2021"- RippleNet Head appeared first on Cryptotvplus.
Asheesh Birla, the General Manager of RippleNet is of the opinion that firmtechs are about to grow into forces to be reckoned with to the extent of being serious competition to conventional banking this year, 2021 in a blog.
He was said to have even given a prediction that a fintech or cryptocurrency firm might assume ownership of a traditional company in the blog by team Ripple;
"The tide is turning. It is possible that we could see a fintech or cryptocurrency company acquire a traditional financial institution this coming year".
Birla hopes to see this come to being with the drafting and implementation of robust regulatory frameworks in the Blockchain/cryptocurrency industry.
Regulation to be a hot issue in Biden's Administration- Alderoty
However, despite the lawsuit against Ripple by the Securities and Exchange Commission since December, 2020, the General Counsel at Ripple; Stu Alderoty has stated that cryptocurrency regulation will be an issue of priority in the administration of Joe Biden, the newly sworn in president of the United States of America;
"Intelligent, well thought-out regulations communicated effectively and uniformly applied can help level the playing field and unleash innovation and further mainstream adoption here in the United states", he said in the report.
This might have been due to the signal from Gary Gensler, picked to be the chairman of the Securities Exchange Commission by the newly sworn in President in his administration. Charles Gasparino of FOX Business reported that Gary said his agenda will cover cryptocurrencies and Fintech companies as well as Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPAC).
In a recent report by CryptoTVPlus, Mike Novogratz, Chief Executive officer of Galaxy Digital made a claim that Fintech should be compared with Decentralized Finance (DeFi) or bank stocks. If that be the case, can Fintech actually overtake traditional banking as claimed by RippleNet Head?

Q: How to control the position of the text in the selector in antd UI? I am using antd's selector, I want to add a prompt to the left of the selection box to indicate what this selector is used to select. I tried to use the label tag in the select tag, but this will give an error. I also thought about using pseudo-elements, but that didn't work. Do you know how to do it. The effect I want is as follows. The left side of the selection box is the prompt word, and the right side is the selection result of the selector.

A: There is no build-in way, you need to compose it from other components.
For example: using CheckBox, Dropdown, Menu and layout components like Row and Col

Cuomo's top priority is to torment de Blasio: aides

Cuomo's rule for MTA reform: Beatings will continue until morale improves
MTA's reorganization plan will make small dent in agency's massive deficit: report
Cuomo rips de Blasio for being too slow to act in Garner case
Gov. Cuomo is making Mayor de Blasio's life miserable any chance he gets.
In the last two weeks alone, he refused to endorse de Blasio for mayor in 2017 and smooched his political foil, Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, in Puerto Rico.
And Cuomo last week told CBS 2 reporter Marcia Kramer — who was publicly stonewalled by de Blasio days earlier for asking an "off-topic" question at a press conference — "I'll take any questions from you that you want to ask."
Cuomo has even set aside skirmishes with state Attorney General Eric Schniederman and state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, a Cuomo political consultant told The Post.
"Cuomo aides said he's buried the hatchet, especially with Schneiderman, and now he just wants to fight with de Blasio," the source said.
"They said, 'Priority Number One is being anti-Bill de Blasio.' "
The governor toys with de Blasio like a cat with a mouse because "it makes him feel good," a Cuomo insider told The Post.
"This whole situation — which the mayor started — only charged the governor up and provided him with focus and direction. And he realizes how much he loves doing it. There's no downside."
The already-strained relationship deteriorated in June, when de Blasio accused Cuomo on TV of sinking his progressive agenda.
Cuomo then pounded de Blasio over his handling of an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease and squeezed an extra $2 billion from the mayor to fund the MTA — while Hizzoner's poll numbers tumbled.
"The mayor has a huge job going from crisis to crisis, but the governor can sit back and pick his battles — and all of this is designed in some way as a 'f- -k you' to the mayor," the consultant said.
Both men have circled each other for decades, and the enmity might be rooted in daddy issues.
Cuomo engineered the campaigns of his father, Gov. Mario Cuomo, and became his closest adviser during his three terms.
"Cuomo is very much a believer of family lineage. He is the oldest son of the man who articulated the liberal vision for 20 years of this country," said a political source who has worked for both men.
De Blasio's father, Warren Wilhelm, was a war-scarred alcoholic who abandoned his family and committed suicide. De Blasio rebelled from him by distributing aid in Sandinista-controlled Nicaragua before finding left-wing mentors in Bill Lynch and Harold Ickes in Mayor David Dinkins' City Hall.
The two wings of the state Democratic Party — those loyal to Mario Cuomo and those loyal to Dinkins — were suspicious of each other.
The elder Cuomo outmaneuvered Dinkins on several issues, and the Dinkins team rarely supported Cuomo's political efforts.
'Cuomo aides said he's buried the hatchet, especially with Schneiderman, and now he just wants to fight with de Blasio'
- a source told The Post
Tensions boiled over when Cuomo's criminal-justice director issued a 1993 report accusing Dinkins of negligence during the Crown Heights riot.
During this fray, the young Cuomo and de Blasio were enemy combatants.
The two became better acquainted a few years later, when they joined the Clinton administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development. They would lean on each other, but only when it suited them.
When Andrew Cuomo lost a gubernatorial primary to H. Carl McCall in 2002, de Blasio represented Cuomo in meetings to hammer out concessions and endorsements with McCall's team. The Cuomos even endorsed de Blasio in a 2009 primary for public advocate.
And when de Blasio launched his mayoral bid in 2013, Andrew Cuomo refused to support de Blasio's opponent, Joe Lhota, even though he was his MTA chief.
But Cuomo never saw de Blasio as an equal, sources said.
"It's about who's the biggest Italian, who's a real new Yorker," the consultant said. "He thinks he's smarter, that de Blasio doesn't work so hard, and that he's beneath him."
Cuomo has largely stolen de Blasio's progressive thunder. He provided funding for pre-K, pushed for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and empowered the AG in fatal police-civilian encounters.
The mayor prefers a friendly relationship with the governor, sources say, but his aides haven't figured out how to make it happen.
Don't expect an olive branch from the governor anytime soon.
"Andrew was never going to be dictated to by de Blasio. There was not going to be any friendship here," the political source said. "Whatever connection that was reported is a myth. The reality is what we see now."

It has been so good to be back in PNG. As we were so busy traveling around the USA it was wonderful to see so many people that I had not seen for a long time. We were home for a year and it was easy to get used to life in America. I was beginning to wonder how ready I would be to return to life in PNG. Just a few days after returning I threw myself right into translation work. As I worked with the Notsi translators we were able to finish the first draft of the New Testament. That is a small milestone, but very encouraging to the translators. There is so much more work that needs to be done. It has been a great joy to be back.
We have a new member on the translation team, Lynnette. She has been so excited to be involved in Bible translation and has been a wonderful addition.
Our first Sunday of the New Year, Gertrude and I spent a Lossu. Emmanuel Church. I printed out copies of some of the hymns that were translated for the morning service. Everyone seemed so pleased to sing these hymns in their own language. Their favorite being, I am so Glad that Jesus Loves Me. Following the hymns they read from the Gospel of John in Notsi. We were so blessed to hear them reading their own language during the service. Most times only Tok Pisin (the national trade language) and English is used.
Pray with us that more people will coming along side to help in translation and in the distribution of the Scriptures. Also that people will be open to Word so the Holy Spirit can work change in their lives.
As 2015 came to a close, I realized that God had been answering some really specific prayers for Kevin, me and and our ministry with Wycliffe. While in the USA, I re-learned the art of diligent study in order to succeed academically. I was reminded of 2 Peter 3:14 (NASV) —"Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless." I found myself experiencing God while taking Research Methods and Statistics courses! I was reminded that just as I must study diligently to succeed in these, I must be diligent to to live in peace, spotless and blameless in my spiritual walk. I gained a renewed sense of dependence on God in the learning process.
When the courses were done Kevin and I changed gears and began travel through parts of the northeastern USA and southeastern Canada. It was late Spring and seing God's handiwork in the beauty and power of Niagara Falls and resting in Him. We simply enjoyed the love and fellowship of family and friends. We met new friends as we went about telling of our mission experiences and experiencing the Love of God among supporting churches.
As we returned to Papua New Guinea I began a new role at the SIL PNG headquarters, so we were separated again only to experience God's sustaining grace as we lived apart for the sake of the Gospel. I think the most painful experience was losing my pastor and friend of a lifetime in October. Dr. Eddie B. Lane showed so many how to live for Christ and now he has shown us how to finish well. We rejoice to have his wife continuing to serve the Lord with Bibleway Church in Dallas.
Reuniting with the Notsi in November was a definite highlight and especially so, after I suffered an infection in December. Even in that we experienced to love of the Notsi toward us and we witnessed the grace of God in medical care. I was especially blessed by exceptional TLC Kevin provided to speed my recovery! We closed 2015 with firm assurance that God is in control of all things. Of course, these few lines could not express the great love we experienced as we walked with the Lord through 2015 but we hope they give you a glimpse of God's goodness.
On October 26, 2014 Gertrude and I visited the Post Oak CME Church. The church is less than a mile from Gertrude's family home. When Gertrude was a child she remembers visiting the church on occasions when they had revivals or other special events.
We were given a very warm welcome. The pastor, Rev. Mays, first learned of us from Bishop Bishop Reddick. He was very pleased to have us there to visit. He invited us to share with the church about our work in Papua New Guinea. He and others from the church were full of questions questions. We enjoyed our time with them.
As this church is in a small town where Gertrude grew up, she met many people that she knew even family. One of her elementary school teaches who had been a real encouragement to her was there. We look forward to visiting there again in the future.
Sunday morning I decided that I would go and visit a couple of churches in the Notsi language area to encourage the use of the new Scripture portions that we dedicated in July 2014. As I was on the road I asked the Lord to guide my steps that I would be able to see those I wanted to see. My first stop was to the Amba United Church. I arrived towards the end of the service. I was given a few minutes to share what was on my heart. I show the church the book that we published with the Gospel of John, Galatians and 1 Timothy. I encouraged everyone to buy a copy. If they did not have the money with them now they could buy it from the translators. I also shared with them how we need their help to finish the editing of the Gospel of Luke. One of the translators would be coming to work with them this week.
Afterwards I was visiting with different people and giving them an opportunity to read from John. The only Bible they have to read from is the English or the Tok Pisin (the national trade language). One lady said that it is hard for them to read from the Notsi scriptures because they are not use to reading their own language. It is easier for them to read the Tok Pisin or the English because that is what the used in school. The problem though is that they can read the other languages but they have trouble truly understanding what they are reading. When they read the Notsi the meaning is very clear because it is the language that reaches their heart.
As I continued my travels I was pleased that there were programs going on after services in different villages that I visited. So instead of just visiting two churches I as I thought I would I was able to visit 4 different churches and share with everyone about the Notsi Scriptures being available. I was able to sell three more books. Two of them were to old ladies, that really valued their language and were pleased to have a copy of the Scripture portions.
Please pray that we will be able to sell all 200 copies of the book and that the Notsi people would read it and allow the Lord to change their lives through the reading of His Word.
When we were not traveling Gertrude was spending time to care for her mother in Longview. I spent my time taking a couple of classes related to Bible translation at the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics.
We rejoice that as we were ready to depart PNG for the funds that we needed to return to had been pledged.
Right after I finished classes at GIAL we rented a car and drove to Albany, NY. We were able to spend 10 days in the area visiting churches and friends that have been supporting us over the years. It was so good to see so many, but was sorry that we were not able to catch up with everyone that we wanted to.
On the way back stopped in New York City to visit my brother and sister that we have not seen in a few years. As I was with my brother, Mark, we went to visit one of our cousin, Tony Blair, that I haven't seen in over 20 years. It was a fun reunion. He had just gotten home from work and so at 11:30 PM we are arriving at his door. He did not want to miss the opportunity to see us. It was about 1:00 AM as we were starting back to Mark's house. From NYC we continued on to Virginia to visit my parents who we saw on our way to New York as well.
July we just finished a very full and busy eight months in the U.S.A. It seems that when ever possible we were traveling one place or another. November we arrived in Dallas from our short vacation in Australia. After just three days we were on our way to Orlando to visit at the Wycliffe USA office. It was so good to see friends that after so many years. We rented a car to visit Gertrude's sister in Tampa.
We then flew up to Virginia to visit my family for Thanksgiving. During our time there we rented a car to visit supports driving from Virginia Beach up to Philadelphia. This was just a little taste of what our time home would be like.
While we were back to Dallas nearly every weekend we were on the road to visit different churches. As you look at the map you get an idea of all the places we went: Kansas City, MO (B), Baton Rouge, LA (D), Birmingham, AL (F), Austin, TX (H). On Easter Weekend we went from Longview, TX (J) to Houston, TX (K) then San Antonio, TX (L) then back to Dallas, TX. At each of the churches we visited we were given a warm welcome and opportunity to share what the Lord is doing in our ministry here in PNG.


But by the evening he's way too squirrelly.
Nor when he pulls like a little freight train!
Walk my furry friend, I do not.
I feel my brain may burst from all the chatter.
When to find time I do not know?
Is for someone else to do the deed!

Aga Khan Foundation Canada World Partnership Walk
The Honourable Dan Hays, Speaker
Aga Khan Foundation Canada
World Partnership Walk
Hon. Mobina S. B. Jaffer: Honourable senators, on Sunday, May 25, 2003, over 26,000 people across the country participated in the Aga Khan Foundation Canada's World Partnership Walk to raise money for humanitarian projects in the developing world.
This year, the walk raised more than $3 million across Canada. The Canadian International Development Agency, CIDA, will match every cent raised. CIDA has done so every year since the walk's inception.
For the past 19 years, the Aga Khan Foundation, with the steadfast support of CIDA, has organized the walk so that Canadians realize what people in other parts of the world are going through and to create an awareness of being part of the global family in which every member is as valuable as any other.
The Aga Khan Foundation has now become one of the leading philanthropic organizations in the world. AKFC directs all of the money raised through Partnership Walk sponsorship to projects focused on health, education, culture and economic development, primarily in Africa and Asia. The World Bank and CIDA evaluate these projects and have concluded that the "Aga Khan Foundation Canada's stewardship and utilization of donor funds is impeccable." The Aga Khan Foundation is one of the agencies under the aegis of the Aga Khan Development Network, which includes Aga Khan Education Services, Aga Khan Trust for Culture, Aga Khan University and the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development.
The Shia Ismaili Muslim community around the world takes enormous pride in the work of their leader, His Highness Shah Karim Aga Khan, and the AKDN, which he directs.
We, in Canada, derive much comfort and satisfaction in being able to contribute and play a small part in the global thrust to improve the lives of those most in need. It is through the hard work and dedication of the Aga Khan Foundation, its volunteers, and the unwavering support of CIDA, both monetarily and symbolically, and the generosity of the Canadian public and industry that this event has been successful and continues to grow in scope and profile every year. This is truly the Canadian way.
I hope honourable senators will join me in congratulating the Aga Khan Foundation Canada for another tremendous World Partnership Walk and for its outstanding efforts in humanitarian work around the world.

The Autumn Flower Show takes place September 14, 15 and 16, 2018, at North of England Horticultural Society, Regional Agricultural Centre, Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England.
This year's theme is "Plants of Pleasure", a journey across thousands of years of guilty plant enjoyment. From cocoa beans and grape vines, to love potions and perfumed oils we explore the origins of those plants often considered to be "naughty, but nice". How did the bitter taste of coffee become so popular? And could you really make someone fall in love with a perfume?
A display based on the theme of love potions is being created especially for the show by the network of artisan flower farmers and florists known as Flowers from the Farm.
Explore how today's homeopathic and flower essence practitioners work to help find solutions for everything from sadness to feeling stuck in a rut. Jenny Howarth, from Yorkshire Flower Essences, will be giving a talk about her work in developing a new Scintilla Autumn mister, which combines flower essences and essential oils to reflect the warmth of the Autumn season with a sense of abundance and completion.
Harewood florists Leafy Couture is creating a display based on the theme of wine and vines.
Even though North American Road Trips Gardeners can't bring plants and seeds back across the pond, we can bring ideas. Check out the Autumn Border Gardens, the National Vegetable Championships (check out that beet, at right), and the Floral Art.
The Harrogate Flower Shows are organized by the North of England Horticultural Society. All profits from the shows are returned to the charity and used to promote gardening and horticulture in the North of England.
If you can't make it to the Autumn Flower Show, consider scheduling a trip next year for the Spring Flower Show, set for April 25 through 28, 2019.

Irked By Broadcast Coverage, Gymnastics Sites Aim To Raise The Bar
By editor • Jul 3, 2016
View Slideshow 1 of 2
Simone Biles took first place overall in the U.S. women's gymnastics championships on June 26 in St. Louis. Biles is expected to win several gold medals in the Olympics.

Originally published on July 5, 2016 3:52 pm
There are two types of people in this world: those who know their Stalder Shaposhnikovas from their Pak Saltos — and those who have absolutely no idea whether the first half of this sentence was even written in English.
For the group that does know, though — the hard-core gymnastics fans — a set of blogs, podcasts and resources has been emerging to fill a gap in the major broadcast coverage of women's gymnastics. It's called the "gymternet," an alternative group of sites that are shaking up the ways the sport is covered.
Specifically, these superfans are moving to correct what they see as condescension in broadcast coverage of the sport.
"It was very much focused on these 'little girls dancing on a playground.' That's a cliche you would hear on NBC over and over again," says reporter and gym fan Elspeth Reeve, who wrote about the gymternet in the New Republic. "Even at the 2012 Olympics, you had the Russian gymnasts referred to as 'divas' and 'temperamental.' It was honestly a bit sexist."
Reeve points to one example in particular, when an NBC commentator compared a gymnast's injury to getting a tear in her wedding dress right before walking down the aisle.
But starting around 2008, Reeve says, blogs began popping up to give gymnastics addicts the in-depth coverage they craved. The gymternet was born around the same time as Tumblr — the site popular for sharing animated GIFs — perhaps because watching a gymnast do a backflip works out to be a good GIF length.
Sites like The Gymternet and the site and podcast GymCastic "provide the real necessary pushback that's not about the sparkles and the girlishness," Reeve tells host Ray Suarez on All Things Considered. "It's about the crazy workouts, the incredible athletics, the injuries, coming back from injuries."
The Gymternet website covers gymnastics from all over the world, not just the U.S. You'll find results from competitions in South Korea, South Africa, Turkey, Russia and more.
But here in the U.S., the big action is the upcoming Olympic trials in San Jose on July 8 and 10, which will determine the members to represent the country in the Olympic Games in Brazil next month.
Nineteen-year-old Simone Biles leads the way and is expected to rack up gold medals in Rio de Janeiro. Last weekend she won a fourth consecutive national title at the P&G Championships in St. Louis. She's already a three-time world champion.
"If she stays mentally healthy and physically healthy, she could walk away with five golds," Reeve says.
The athletes embrace the clout of the gymternet too. Biles has almost half a million followers on Instagram and more than 57,000 on Twitter. Reeve writes that McKayla Maroney, a gold medalist, announced her retirement on the GymCastic podcast instead of a major network.
Women's gymnastics qualifying in the Olympics starts Aug. 7 — and there's a good chance the gymternet will have full coverage.
RAY SUAREZ, HOST:
Now it's time for our regular segment, Words You'll Hear. That's where we try to understand stories in the news by parsing some of the words associated with those stories. And this week's word is gymternet (ph). We first heard it in a New Republic article, "The Tumbler Tumblr," about how coverage of women's gymnastics is being shaken up by a revolution of female super fans who blog about the sport on a network of sites known as the gymternet. The article was written by our next guest, Elspeth Reeve. She's a self-described women's gymnastics super fan, and she's here to help us understand more about the gymternet and the people behind it. Thanks for joining us.
ELSPETH REEVE: Hi, thank you.
SUAREZ: So what is it, the gymternet? And how long has it around?
REEVE: I'd say the gymnastics Internet, or the gymternet, has been around since about the 2008 Olympics. Tumblr was launched in 2007. And that's a really great site for the animated GIF, which turns out to be the perfect length for a gymnastics backflip. You know, you can watch it over and over and over again. And it's much easier to see the little details of how these gymnasts are flipping their bodies around. And from there, the gymternet kind of spread to blogs and now a podcast and real news sites.
SUAREZ: So it's really more of a knowledgeable view rather than something that's meant for the casual fan. Is that fair?
REEVE: Yeah, absolutely. There's a huge learning curve in trying to understand gymnastics. Every skill can be called six different things. Often the skills are named after obscure Russians from the '80s. Like, it's difficult to understand why a Stalder-Shaposhnikova-half connected to a Pak Salto. It would be impossible, you know? So, like, for an outsider it's very difficult.
SUAREZ: Who's making the content? Who are the writers?
REEVE: My two favorites are Jessica O'Beirne, who launched a podcast right after the 2012 Olympics. And it started off pretty small, but at this point she's getting major Olympians on her show. She got McKayla Maroney - most people remember her unimpressed face from the 2012 Olympics. Her podcast is called "GymCastic." And then the second one that is more like The New York Times of gymnastics is thegymter.net. It's run by Lauren Hopkins. She's a 30-year-old marketer in New York. And in her spare time, she goes to all the competitions. She went to Rio for the test event for the Olympics. And they just have all the breaking news about what's going on behind the scenes before these big events.
SUAREZ: Did coverage of the sport need a conscious alternative, a pushback to the way women's gymnastics is covered by the big sports networks?
REEVE: Absolutely. The '90s was sort of a low point. It was very much focused on these little girls dancing on a playground. That's a cliche you would hear on NBC over and over again. When a gymnast was injured before the 2008 Olympics, a commentator said it was like getting a tear in your wedding dress right before you're going to walk down the aisle. And, you know, the truth is no, it's like getting injured right before the Olympics. That in itself is a big deal to a female athlete. And so these women provide the real necessary pushback that's not about the sparkles and the girlishness. It's about the, like, crazy workouts, the incredible athletics, the injuries, coming back from injuries.
SUAREZ: Well, let's talk about the upcoming trials in San Jose. What are the bloggers in the gymternet excited about?
REEVE: We're all paying attention to Simone Biles because if she stays mentally healthy and physically healthy, she could walk away with five golds. Everyone's looking to see if Gabby Douglas can turn it up for the competition because she's sort of known for not working as hard in the gym until the last moment when she has to compete. Laurie Hernandez - she's 15 years old and from New Jersey, and she just dances like crazy. People used to call her baby Shakira. They also call her the human emoji. She makes these incredibly expressive faces on the floor, and she's an incredible entertainer.

Can you think of what 1930's smells like? Neither can we, but this perfume comes pretty close. It has time on its side, and bucket loads of class to boot. This fragrance is the queen of all floral scents, in fact, it's probably the queen of all perfumes. Hollywood superstars would swear by it and we wager the rich & famous will still swear by it in another 100 years' time. For those who appreciate the timelessness and sophistication of a classic floral scent, and anyone who fancies themselves the next Hollywood superstar!
This smells EXACTLY like it's expensive counterpart. I got an Eden gift box for Christmas and this scent was in it. No 5 has always been a favourite and I was sad to say goodbye to it after I went cruelty-free many years ago. To find this and have the same gorgeous iconic smell in a vegan, cruelty-free formula had me over the moon!
I have ordered this perfume and found it very different from No 5. However, the staff was extremely nice about it and offered either to refund me or exchange it for something else. Which I will. Thank you for your cooperation.
A great vegan version of Chanel No5...love it!
Better than the original no5 because this version is a little bit warmer .Addictive!Just perfect.
I have worn Chanel No 5 for many years, this is as close as you would ever get, and a vegan version, Result!! I urge you to try it you wont be disappointed.
It's a fabulous perfume, so true to the original. The day I received it I spread the word at work because you need to share so much goodness. Vegan, long lasting, free p&p. Excellent!
When I first read about these perfumes, I thought they were too good to be true. But surprisingly, it is that good! It smells the same as the non- cruelty free one. Two of my bottles were damaged upon arrival, and they immediately replaced them. Overall I am happy with my experience!

The 360 degree panorama from the top of Mt Everest is just awesome to look at.
They seemed to him a band of tramps, huddled together along the riverbanks, their old coats covered with dust and soot, stupefied by the panorama of sunset and waiting for the first chill of night bid them arise, shake themselves and begone.
A row of three large windows in the front of the house shew a mountain panorama, which is just now seen in one of its softest aspects in the mellowing afternoon light.

Broker ploy headed for Titanic fiduciary iceberg?
All the lobbyist money in the world cannot trump science - or can it? Who will win the war for a Uniform Fiduciary Standard?
So it comes down to this. Two fierce competitors. Toe to toe. Science vs. politics. Actually, it's more like a tag-team event – science partnering with philosophy in one corner and politics and big business together occupying the other. It has all the makings of a classic confrontation, filled with enough drama and intrigue to leave you guessing the outcome right up until the very end.

My name is Christian Annyas.
Between my morning coffee and evening movie I design websites. Like the one you're looking at. I could do yours too.
You can contact me here, or take a look at my work
I've seen a lot of movies over the years. To prove I've sat through at least the first ten minutes of them I started making screenshots of the titles. Then my computer crashed and I almost lost them all. To save them for future generations I created this little website.

Q: How to update submodules How do I update submodules when on a detached head?
I try
git pull --recurse-submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

but I get the error:
You are not currently on a branch. Please specify which
branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details.

    git pull <remote> <branch>

What can I do? Is there another way to update submodules when on a detached head? The use case is that jenkins tries to update submodules on a detached head.

A: What exactly are you trying to accomplish? It is perfectly fine for a submodule to be in detached-head mode. As long as it points to the correct commit for the submodule, it should not be a problem for Jenkins.
Why are you using recursive? Do the submodules have submodules of their own?
If what you want is for Jenkins to checkout the correct commit for all repositories (the main repository and its submodules) then a simple git submodule update should do the trick. BTW, Jenkins knows how to do this for you, there's no reason for you to type that command on your own or anything.
If you want Jenkins to actually change the commit at which the submodules are recorded in the main repository, so that they point to the tip of some branch, then it's a very odd thing to do in Jenkins... Typically you don't make code changes in Jenkins.


In the Gospel of Matthew 14:34-36, we see that the people of Gennesaret recognized Jesus, when He crossed over the Sea of Galilee. They went all over that region and collected up people that were sick. Then they went to Jesus and begged Him that they could just touch the very hem of His garment, and as they touched His Garment The Bible says they were made perfectly well.
We see the exact same story happening in Mark 5:24-34, where the woman with the issue of blood had been bleeding for 12 years. She had spent all her money and had nothing left. She said to herself, "If I could just touch the hem of his garment, I will be made well." She pushed through the crowd, undeterred by people pushing her from every side and eventually got to the Lord Jesus Christ. She then touched the hem of His garment and the issue of blood dried up immediately. Jesus stopped in His tracks and even though people had been pushing Him from all over, He said to His disciples "Who touched Me?" His disciples said, "Lord people are pushing You from all over." The Lord said, "No there is one particular person." Of course, the little lady's face must have been red with embarrassment and said, "It was me, Lord." He said to the woman, "Go in peace, your faith has made you well."
On the other side of the coin, we see when Jesus went back to Nazareth He could perform very few miracles, because of the lack of faith in His own hometown. Matthew 13:53-58, "...Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief." We know that it is the power of God that heals, but Jesus makes it very clear that we need to have a measure of faith in order for the Lord to perform His miracles in our lives. By faith we cry out to God like Peter did, when he was in the boat and then through obedience he got out of the boat and walked on the water. When we take our eyes off the Lord for a moment and we look at the waves, we will start to sink, but if we call out, He will be quick to take a hold of us and restore us. Faith really honors God and Jesus is so happy with us when we walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
I really want to encourage you to extend your faith and of course we all know where it comes from. Romans 10:17 (NKJV) clearly states, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." We need to spend more time reading God's Word, and spending time with men and women of great faith, because faith is definitely contagious. Can you imagine how the other people roundabout felt when they saw the sick merely touching the hem of the Masters garment and were completely healed from paralysis, from blindness, delivered from demons and set free? We have always said at Shalom "One genuine miracle equals a thousand sermons." That is the absolute truth.
Give Jesus your two fishes and your five barley loaves of bread, and He will multiply them to feed thousands of others. We have actually seen it happen tangibly in front of our eyes here at Shalom during the Mighty Men Conference which took place in 2007.
Operating by faith, also pleases our Heavily Father, because it shows Him how much we trust His Son.
The Bible tells a story of a centurion who was not even a Jew, but a Gentile (a foreigner) and furthermore an officer in the Roman army, which was oppressing Israel at that time, and the least qualified candidate to receive the gift from Jesus. But because of his faith, which Jesus had never seen in all of Israel, said to the Master, "You don't even have to come to my house, just say the Word and my servant will be healed." We read that at that very hour his servant was completely restored back at the centurion's house.
My dear friend, let us trust God and continually walk with expectation in Jesus alone. Psalm 62:5 (NKJV), "My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him."


I just updated Plugin Commander that fixes a problem with the conversion of FFL files. Maybe you still have the old version, which saves the .8bf files in the main root (e.g. C:\) instead of the destination folder.
Please activate the "Automatically create sub folder(s)" check box when converting. Doing this will avoid the mentioned bug even with the old version.
See the Help > About menu in Plugin Commander Light. If it says is Version 1.60 Revision 8, you have the latest version. If the Revision number is lower, please download the new version.
Sorry to not understand your response, Harold... I d/l-ed PiCo light yesterday, using the link given in an e-mail response to registering. The version is 2, not 8. Where can I get the most recent vs that you mentioned above, please?
Revision 8 refers to the Pro version. Revision 2 is the latest Light version. Sorry for the mistake.

Anyone who has talked to me about the last two releases of Dynamics CRM knows that I am a huge believer in the Sales Process functionality that Microsoft has developed. I think back to my Sales Operations days and can only shake my head at how much screwing around could have been avoided if this toolset was available today (for sales reps and for my team).
The picture doesn't do justice to the concept…but you can click to enlarge the image which will help a little bit.
The CRM 2015 release preview brings even more excitement, as there are even more strides in the ability to guide users through a business process flow. In the last release, we were still limited to a very linear process flow. If there were indicators on an Opportunity that certain stages should be skipped or handled in a different order, it took lots of time for a clever BA or some custom development from an IT pro to make that happen. If the business wasn't willing to invest in that, then the burden fell to the salesperson to "just know" what was relevant (which meant some people filled in everything while others filled out nothing…garbage data).
Soon, a simple configuration will allow conditional branching to stages based on criteria specified by the process. This capability will be baked right into the 2015 process flow designer, To the right I've included an image from the preview guide showing this conditional branching, which should layer very nicely with the existing Business Rules to show/hide relevant fields..
Keep it coming Microsoft Dynamics CRM Team!

A baking stone is a portable cooking surface used in baking. It may be made of ceramic, stone or, more recently, salt. Food is put on the stone, which is then placed in an oven, though sometimes the stone is heated first. Baking stones are used much like cookie sheets, but may absorb additional moisture for crispier food. A pizza stone is a baking stone designed for cooking pizza.

Overview
Due to the thermal mass of baking stones and the material's property as a poor heat conductor, food is less likely to burn when one uses a baking stone instead of metal or glass bakeware. Baking stones are a variation on hot stone cooking, which is one of the oldest cooking techniques known. Some cooks recommend sprinkling corn meal or flour on the baking stone to prevent the crust from sticking or using parchment paper atop the stone. Baking "stones" may be purchased as unglazed ceramic tiles, unglazed fired clay tiles and quarried tiles, from tile shops and hardware stores.

To prevent fracturing of the stone by thermal shock, some bakers place the baking stone in a cold oven and heat it over at least 45 minutes, then allow it to cool slowly inside the oven after switching it off. Because of the possibility of rapid temperature change, baking stones should not be left in an oven while it is in self cleaning mode.

Baking stones can be cleaned with a dry brush or scouring pad followed by plain hot water. Because it is porous, a baking stone will absorb any fluid it contacts, including detergent. Use of any detergents may taint the stone, imparting the flavor of detergent to foods later cooked on the stone.

Pizza stone
When designed for cooking pizzas, a baking stone is often referred to as a pizza stone. Using a pizza stone more or less mimics the effects of cooking a pizza in a masonry oven. The porous nature of the stone absorbs moisture, resulting in a crispier crust. Small pizza stones can be purchased to fit any conventional cooking oven or an enclosed barbecue-style grill. High-end ovens sometimes offer optional pizza stones that are specifically designed for each oven model and may include a specialized heating element.  In addition to traditional methods, a pizza stone can also be made out of metal.

Pizza / baking steel
A36 steel plate usually  long x  wide x  thick,  It conducts heat better than stone, is safe to use under any broiler and on the grill, but gives off too much heat for bread, cookies, and croissants. It is carbon steel, so also heavier, needs to be pre-seasoned before use.
