Phew! Just finished another Friday night Exec meeting with so much content we overran again. Here's a flavour of this month's hot topics, and what's coming up at our Open Meeting on 15th February and our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on March 15th.
EXEC UPDATE: After lots of activity on our Facebook page over the last couple of weeks, the Stamshaw Road and Twyford Avenue cycle lanes made it to "matters arising". These two lanes are a key concern for members as they're squeezed between a heavy flow of traffic and the dreaded dooring zone. We're planning to discuss with with PCC and push for a redesign. Other locations discussed included Francis Avenue, Fratton Road Roundabout and Holbrook Road Roundabout where PCC has asked for our input on proposed schemes.
We also heard about PCC's new "near miss" reporting tool which will be going live later this year – this is a really positive step to help cyclists report spots where they've been scared or annoyed by the behaviour of other road users, or perhaps even the layout of the road, and we hope it will help to identify locations for future safety improvement schemes. We'll be providing PCC with feedback on a beta version.
OPEN MEETING: Our next open meeting on Feb 15th will focus on our response to the City Centre Road proposal application and, as usual, Council Officers will be on hand from 6.15pm for their Cycle Surgery where you can raise site specific issues with them on a 1:1 basis. TAKE NOTE – Park Road/Anglesea Junction is closed for railway bridge repairs so you'll need to take a different route to get to Richmond Building this month.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING: The AGM is fast approaching (March 15th) and as always, we're on the look out for new committee members – we have some new posts opening up including "wardens" for 6 different areas of the city (on the island – north east/north west/south east/south west AND off the island east and west). The wardens would be our "go-to" people for local knowledge and having discussions with councillors. Could it be you?
Finally, Jon Riding will be presenting our cycling tube map which is a result of efforts by attendees at last year's AGM. We've already started using this tube map to share our concerns and ideas for improvements with PCC.


Apple Watch pre-orders are being sent to centralized distribution points across the United States as couriers prepare the shipments to be delivered ahead of the wrist-worn device's launch on April 24, according to a source for MacRumors that has provided accurate information in the past.
Apple retail chief Angela Ahrendts confirmed earlier this month that Apple Watch pre-order deliveries will begin on April 24 as scheduled, although many customers have received shipping estimates of 4-6 weeks or later and it remains unknown how many Apple Watch pre-orders will be delivered on day one.
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-orders began switching from "Processing Items" to "Preparing for Shipment" on the Apple Online Store for several customers on the Monday prior to Friday delivery, so customers that pre-ordered the Apple Watch early should see their order status change soon. Due to limited stock and the wide 4/24—5/8 delivery estimate for launch day pre-orders, however, there is a possibility that pre-order statuses may take longer to change.
To date, we've not seen any reports of pre-orders changing or credit cards being charged, but our source assures us bulk shipments have begun, so we should see movement on individual order statuses very soon. In the meantime, Apple has begun charging credit cards and preparing to ship Apple Watch accessories such as the charging cable and AppleCare+ Protection Plans.
Apple Watch pre-orders were available on April 10 at 12:01 AM Pacific through the Apple Online Store in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and United Kingdom, and sold out completely in less than six hours. The company also began taking Apple Watch try-on appointments the same day at Apple retail stores and select fashion boutiques such as Selfridges in London, Isetan in Tokyo and Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
Update: In line with this report, Apple is beginning to charge credit cards and Apple Watch pre-order statuses are changing to "Prepare for Shipment."
or is there nothing at all to this story? Clickbait deluxe!
Title says shipping but article says no reports! Come on at least have some substance to the article please.
Bleh. Saw the headline and immediately went to check my order. Disappointment followed.
So you claim that Apple Watches have started shipping, but you have not received any reports that they have? How is this news?
This story is 100% click bait. There is nothing of substance and there is no new information in this story.
The "proof" is a reliable source who tells us bulk shipments into the U.S. have begun. Still in the staging process, but we should see movement on order statuses and credit card charges very soon.

You seem very jealous or angry. I can't put my finger on it but, ultimately, I'm wondering why you stopped by here and took the time to post this message. You obviously feel very strongly about your feelings.

Modi exposed the hollow claims of Samajwadi Party leader of being a 'socialist' and slammed him for leading an extravagant life in opulent bungalows.
In North India, the term "Chilum Nikhalvaunga" is a term expressed to display their elitism and aristocratic mindset against people who they think are subservient by making them do menial jobs at their houses. With Akhilesh Yadav using such deplorable words, he has directly threatened bureaucrats for simply following orders.
Leaders of the current BJP-JD(U) government in Bihar have asserted that Tejashwi Yadav must vacate the bungalow as he is no longer the Deputy CM.
Illegal bungalows: Did you know of Arundhati Roy's bungalow on illegally grabbed forest land?

If you feel like things are more expensive, you are right. Despite a slightly weaker than expected inflation report in April, this year, prices have accelerated faster than Fed officials anticipated just a few months ago. Last week we learned that headline inflation increased to a 14-month high of 2.5 percent from a year ago in April, due in large part to rising gas prices. Excluding food and energy the core rate increased by 2.1 percent.
Inflation occurs when the prices of goods and services rise and as a result, every dollar you spend in the economy purchases less. But it's been a long time since the double-digit rates of 1979-1980 and in fact, the annual rate of inflation from 1917 through 2017 averaged just over 3 percent annually. That might not sound like much, but consider this: today you need $7,283.31 in cash to buy what $1,000 could buy 50 years ago.
Over the past decade, deflation (a drop in the price of goods and services) -- not inflation -- had been the concern of Federal Reserve policy makers. When deflation is persistent, it can put into a motion a scary, downward spiral that can cause an economy to stand still. To prevent it, the Fed kept interest low at zero and purchased bonds, the combination of which was intended to spur demand and prop up asset prices.
Inflation hawks like Paul Ryan attacked the central bank's policy and even tried to "school" then-Fed Chair Ben Bernanke in 2011, warning that "the inflation dynamic can be quick to materialize and painful to eradicate once it takes hold." But as it turns out, Bernanke and Yellen were right: the tepid recovery, combined with an aging population and technological advances, kept a lid on overall prices.
That fact may bring cold comfort to most Americans today, as prices have begun a stead climb higher. According to economist Joel Naroff, "even though inflation did not jump in April, neither did wages. When you adjust the rise in hourly earnings by the increase in consumer prices, you find that household spending power went nowhere. Worse, over the year, consumer costs were up by 2.4% and hourly earnings by 2.6%, so real earnings rose a pathetic 0.2%." In other words, some households are just barely breaking even. Adding to the concern is that cost of servicing debt is also rising, as the Fed continues to increase short-term interest rates and the market is pushing up long-term rates.
So how should you adapt to the new economic order? Start by locking in adjustable loans into fixed rate ones. 30-year mortgage rates have increased to four-year highs and they are likely to keep moving higher. If you are waiting for that 3.5 percent loan, forget it and manage your debt load in the newer, higher rate environment.
Commodities: When inflation rises, the price of commodities like gold, energy, food and raw materials also increases. However, this is a volatile asset class that can stagnate or worse, lose money, over long stretches of time. Therefore, investors would be wise to limit commodity exposure to 3 - 6 percent of the total portfolio value.
Real estate investment trusts ("REITs"): The ultimate "real asset", REITs tend to perform well during inflationary periods, due to rising property values and rents.
Stocks: Many investors don't think about stocks as an asset class to combat inflation, but long-term data show that stocks, especially dividend-producing stocks, tend to perform well in inflationary periods. That said, during short-term inflationary spikes, the stocks might drop before reverting to the longer-term trend.
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"): Rising prices can diminish a bond's fixed-income return. But the US government directly offers investors inflation-indexed bonds, or TIPS, which proved a fixed interest rate above the rate of inflation, as measured by the CPI.
International Bonds: Inflation can shred the value of the U.S. dollar so consider a small allocation to international bonds, which are denominated in foreign currencies.

Wither the working class
By Kerry Corke - posted Thursday, 31 March 2011 Sign Up for free e-mail updates!
The NSW ALP has just received its anticipated thumping at the polls, creating a real Quo Vadis moment for both it and the ALP more generally.
This may well have been a 'transformational election' – where tribal voters irrevocably change allegiance.
The NSW ALP gamebook (copied in other states) was set out by Bruce Hawker from Hawker Britton in a Sydney Morning Herald article of 14 September 2006:
When state Labor governments began being re-elected from 1995, the public gave them qualified endorsement. In almost every instance they were elected with the barest of margins and had to prove they were solid, conservative managers of the economy. When they did move it was usually to the centre on their traditionally weak areas, such as law and order and encouraging development. Premiers such as Bob Carr and Mike Rann were also able to woo the green vote with environmental measures the conservatives could never match, saddled as they are to the Nationals. This political dexterity effectively gave Labor's opponents nowhere to move. The result has been a long run of election wins, each one as good or better than the last.
However, this clever positioning in the middle that has worked for the last 15 years has now run its race.
Demographer Bernard Salt has noted a social and economic division between those who live in the inner city and those who live on the city's edge:
…... I am suggesting that there is almost a regionalisation of wealth, income and culture based on urban geography.
Battlers, migrants and assorted low-income earners who formerly lived in the inner city are now being flung out, as if by some centrifugal force, to the city's edge.
What is left in the inner city is an odd coalescence of tribes - namely students, singles, couples, dinks, gays, expats, corporates, divorcees and, most important of all, the professional and entrepreneurial classes.
And to this lot I might add the entertainment, information and media glitterati. As a general principle, none of this class would ever think of living more than 10km from the city centre.
The ALP voting coalition has hitherto consisted of self identifying members of the working class, people with English as a second language, income transfer recipients, public sector workers, the arts sector and progressive middle class professionals who are both secularist and internationalist in orientation.
However, the Greens message - guided by the so-called 'four pillars' (ecological sustainability, social equality and economic justice, grassroots democracy and peace and disarmament and nonviolence,) is apparently more amenable to a 'progressive' middle class constituency than one put out by a 50% union controlled cadre party designed to represent the 'labour movement', achieving progressive change primarily through improvements to working conditions and changes to the wages and salaries system.
Although the Greens failed to make their anticipated breakthrough win in the lower house they are the second most popular party in a number of Sydney electorates, they still won 10% of the vote and the clustered nature of its vote certainly requires the ALP to use a lot of ammunition in seats such as Marrickville and Balmain so Labor can remain competitive in these seats.
On the other side of the coin, the 'lifestyle' values of these voters, such as placing a premium on environmental issues, may not be necessarily shared by those in the outer suburbs and industrial regions more interested in more utilitarian issues that are part of living in suburbia – being able to run the car, keep the mortgage paid, and so forth.
The party of organised labour also faces the problem that the larger manufacturing operations employing thousands of unionised workers are being replaced by smaller less unionised service industries, breaking the nexus between worker and union and thus the broader 'labour movement'.
Finally, in the land of the Macmansion and the self-employed tradie, 'working class' identity is being replaced by 'aspirational' ideals, creating an environment in which the centre-right message of financial prudence, self-help and independence is receptive.

How The Sixers Could Pull Off A Ben Simmons/James Harden Sign-And-Trade
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It's appearing increasingly likely that the standoff between Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers won't be resolved by the NBA's Feb. 10 trade deadline. "Philadelphia officials maintain their major stakeholders—from ownership and [team president Daryl] Morey's front office to Doc Rivers and Joel Embiid—are aligned in waiting for someone on par with [Damian] Lillard, James Harden, Bradley Beal or Jaylen Brown to become available either before this deadline or later this summer," Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer reported last week. Unless a player of that caliber unexpectedly becomes available in the next few weeks, the Sixers appear willing to keep Simmons beyond the trade deadline and re-evaluate their options during the offseason. Given Morey's extensive history with Harden during their time together in Houston, he might be the Sixers' most likely target. Harden could become an unrestricted free agent this summer by … [Read more...] about How The Sixers Could Pull Off A Ben Simmons/James Harden Sign-And-Trade

Schlumberger's profit jumps as higher oil prices spur drilling demand
January 21, 2022 by www.theedgemarkets.com
- A + A BENGALURU/DENVER (Jan 21): Schlumberger NV, the world's largest oilfield service company, reported a rise in fourth-quarter profit on Friday that beat expectations, as higher crude and natural gas prices drove up demand for its services and equipment. Oil prices surged about 50% last year and are now trading at seven-year highs on the back of a Covid-19 vaccine-fuelled demand recovery and tight supplies. "Absent any further Covid-19-related disruption, oil demand is expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels before the end of the year and to further strengthen in 2023," Schlumberger chief executive officer Olivier Le Peuch said. In North America, strong offshore and land drilling activity and an uptick in exploration data licensing for the US Gulf of Mexico and Permian Basin drove a 13% sequential jump in revenue. Schlumberger shares were down 1.58% in pre-market trading to US$36.46 as Brent oil futures fell about 1.7% on Friday to US$86.87 a barrel.

The food service industry is in a crisis of our own making. For decades, fast food companies have paid poverty-level wages, created dangerous working conditions, and disrespected employees. Millions of restaurant workers were fired or furloughed during the pandemic. Many others risked their health to go to work while enduring abuse from customers who didn't want to wear masks. Now, fast food businesses across the country are losing money because they can't attract enough workers. advertisement advertisement These are not new problems, but we need new solutions; the status quo is not working. If the industry is to survive, it requires a better model—one that gives workers a voice in improving their jobs. Unfortunately, history has taught us that companies are unlikely to get there on their own. We need strong leadership and effective legislation—like California's FAST Recovery Act —to create change.

Ooooh, Ms Congdon. 5 is my very most favorite number. Lurve.
How much do you find that collecting can also be a curse?
Do you ever stop, and ask why?
Do you collect to collect the totality of whatever you are collecting or is your collecting selective within the totality of the chosen object?
I'm not sure i expressed that as well as i feel it.
Grrreat. Number five is all groovy.
5 is my favorite number too! this is great!!!

In the age of technology, spell-check and auto-correct has really done a number on our literacy. It's also not always the most reliable; for some reason, when writing the most important client emails or reports for work, it seems to switch off on it's own accord. Argh!
Poor spelling and grammar is not a good look in the office and that single misspelled word can ruin your credibility when it counts most.
Before it was shared with the internet, the test was given to 92 people and only 6 were able to pass with flying colours. It includes some of the most commonly misspelled words according to Oxford English Corpus.

Minister fined $25 for using metal hoe to build a sandcastle
FWBP Staff
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An Alabama youth minister was fined $25 for using a metal garden hoe to dig in the sand with his 7-year-old son while on spring break in Florida's Panhandle.
The News Herald (http://bit.ly/2ocb1Cy ) reports Bryant Rylee of Moundville, Alabama, was building a sandcastle on Panama City Beach with his wife and son on March 23 when a police officer approached.
Rylee said the officer told them they couldn't use metal tools on the beach, and Rylee asked to have the law cited to him.
Police Chief Drew Whitman says Rylee was given opportunities to fill in the hole but refused. Whitman says the law was adopted following a rowdy 2015 spring break and was designed to protect against sexual assaults.
He said it wasn't intended to "mess up somebody's sandcastle."

Singapore is a relatively young nation, gaining independence only in 1965, with hardly any resources; the pioneers had built Singapore to what it is today and fast track to 53 years later, Singapore is one of the wealthiest nations in the world and is infamously one of the most expensive countries to live in too. Singapore also boast to have one of the most expensive real estate market in the world, though we are markedly behind Hongkong, who is still the title holder for having the most expensive real estate in the world.
1) Singapore has very good fundamentals building blocks that support its economy and propelled it to the world stage as a financial hub. Corruption level is very low in Singapore, and with high transparency, a pro-business government and favourable tax rate, it attracts MNCs from overseas to set up regional bases here, and with businesses, comes employment for its citizens. This has also attracted significant number of foreigners coming to Singapore to work.
2) Singapore is a very politically stable country, with the People's Action Party being at helm almost since independence, and therefore one can hardly find a wild swing in policy making.
3) Singapore is a small country, with limited land and in this aspect, there is a striking similarity to Hongkong.
4) Astute and prudent monetary policies by the Monetary Authority Of Singapore.
There are many more reasons that contributed to the sustainability and the continued impressive performance of the Singapore real estate, but those mentioned are probably the mains.
Investors locally or overseas might be interested to explore Jade Scape Shunfu, which is a new condominium development by Qingjian Realty, an internationally renowned property developer. Jade Scape is a huge project, with a total of 1,206 units, and sitting on a land size of 408,927 sqft, it is a rare piece of gem as there haven't been many new condominiums in this area for a long time. Jade Scape is a 99 year leasehold development, and is the former Shunfu Ville, a privatised HUDC, bought over by the developer via a collective sale in 2016.
One of the most notable selling points of this project is that Marymount MRT (Circle Line) is only 200m away, and that the future Upper Thomson MRT (Completes in 2020) under the Thomson East Coast Line is only about 600m away. The services of two MRT Lines boost the transport infrastructure in this area and it is no wonder that Jade Scape will become a prized commodity now and into the future. With the wealth of experience that Qingjian Realty has, consumers can be assured that Jade Scape floor plan will be efficient to cater to various buyer's demographics and Jade Scape condo price will be reasonable, estimated to be about $1,700 psf to $1,750 psf on average.

Q: Need a regular expression to validate started double quote is ended or not Need a regular expression to validate a double quote(") is started and it must to be ended.
Example : "This is valid" but "This is not valid

A: You could just count the numbers of quotes. If it's even it's OK

A: This pattern will work if no escaped doublequotes are allowed:
^"[^"]*"$

The ^ and $ are the beginning and end of the line anchors respectively.
The […] is a character class. Something like [aeiou] matches one of any of the lowercase vowels. [^…] is a negated character class. [^aeiou] matches one of anything but the lowercase vowels.
Thus the pattern validates that the entire line starts and ends with double quotes, and in between there are absolutely no doublequotes (but it could be empty).
See also

*

*regular-expressions.info/Anchors, Repetition

*

*Examples/Programming constructs/Strings - Has patterns for various strings

A: If count of unescaped " is even then the string is valid

A: Even number of quotes (") is valid.
For example in Python:
def isvalid(mystring):
    if mystring.count("\"")%2 == 0:
        return True
    return False

A: What language?
Wouldn't it be easyer to just take out the first and last character and check if it is the "-char?
Like this (in php):
$first = substr($string, 0, 1);
$last = substr($string, -1);
if ($first == """ && $last == """) {}

For RegEx it would be something like:
/^\"(*.)\"$/

ISLSCP II Global Population of the World
Global Population of the World (GPW) translates census population data to a latitude-longitude grid so that population data may be used in cross-disciplinary studies. There are three data files with this data set for the reference years 1990 and 1995. Over 127,000 administrative units and population counts were collected and integrated from various sources to create the gridded data.
In brief, GPW was generated using the following steps:
Population data were estimated for the product reference years, 1990 and 1995, either by the data source or by interpolating or extrapolating the given estimates for other years.
Additional population estimates were created by adjusting the source population data to match UN national population estimates for the reference years.
Borders and coastlines of the spatial data were matched to the Digital Chart of the World where appropriate and lakes from the Digital Chart of the World were added.
The resulting data were then transformed into grids of UN-adjusted and unadjusted population counts for the reference years.
Grids containing the area of administrative boundary data in each cell (net of lakes) were created and used with the count grids to produce population densities.
As with any global data set based on multiple data sources, the spatial and attribute precision of GPW is variable. The level of detail and accuracy, both in time and space, vary among the countries for which data were obtained.
Additional Documentation:
This data set is one of the products of the International Satellite Land-Surface Climatology Project, Initiative II (ISLSCP II) data collection which contains 50 global time series data sets for the ten-year period 1986 to 1995. A complete description of the data, it's derivation, acknowledgements, and references provided by the ISLSCP II Data Management Staff is included with this data set as a companion file named 1_global_population_doc.pdf .
ISLSCP II is a consistent collection of data sets that were compiled from existing data sources and algorithms, and were designed to satisfy the needs of modelers and investigators of the global carbon, water and energy cycle. The data were acquired from a number of U.S. and international agencies, universities, and institutions. The data and documentation have undergone two peer reviews.
ISLSCP is one of several projects of Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) [http://www.gewex.org/] and has the lead role in addressing land-atmosphere interactions -- process modeling, data retrieval algorithms, field experiment design and execution, and the development of global data sets.

UNICEF Lebanon joins UNRWA response to urgent needs of children and women caught in El Bared camp crisis
WEBWIRE – Sunday, May 27, 2007
BEIRUT – Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians continue to flee Nahr El Bared camp in northern Lebanon, and the toll of conflict and displacement weighs most heavily on children, says UNICEF. In support of and in close coordination with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), UNICEF Lebanon's priority is to ensure that the most urgent needs of children and women are met.
UNICEF joins UNRWA and its NGO partners in advocating for the safety of children and their families still in Nahr El Bared. As of May 25, an estimated 10,000 civilians remain in the embattled camp with only sporadic humanitarian support during very brief ceasefire periods. The safety of children and families still living in the camp and their access to humanitarian aid must become the first priority for all parties.
Experts in emergency response, water and sanitation, and child protection from UNICEF joined an UNRWA assessment mission this week in Tripoli, including the Baddawi camp, which is currently housing approximately 10,000 – 15,000 refugees. Five schools inside Baddawi camp have stopped classes and turned into displacement centres for more than 5,000 refugees, where families are sleeping on mattresses in extremely crowded conditions. Hundreds more families are staying with friends and relatives who were already living in crowded apartments in Baddawi camp. Others are living in guesthouses and centres within the camp, and more than 1,000 refugees have left northern Lebanon to other Palestinian refugee camps in other parts of the country.
Children living in Nahr El Bared have been through unspeakable trauma. Already living in a refugee situation, they have witnessed their homes being destroyed, loved ones being killed or injured, and were trapped in their homes hearing the terrifying sounds of gunfire around them. In addition to ensuring that children's physical needs are met, UNICEF is committed to facilitating emotional recovery, working with UNRWA and NGO partners to make living conditions as child-friendly as possible, and ensuring that children return to school. In addition to restoring a sense of normalcy that is so vital to emotional recovery, the return to classrooms is particularly critical for older youth scheduled to take qualifying exams that will secure their future higher education.
To date, UNICEF has committed the following supplies and services to the emergency, in close coordination with UNRWA and partner NGOs for distribution. These supplies have either already been sent or are in process.
Water and sanitation:
• 2,900 two-litre bottles of water
• 90,000 five-litre bottles of water
• 24 collapsible water tanks (5,000 litres each)
• 19 rigid water tanks (1,500 litres each)
• Water treatment plant (will provide clean water to 1400 families)
• 180 family hygiene kits (items include soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, diapers, detergent, toilet paper and towels)
• Water kits for 100 families (jerrycans, buckets, soap, water purification tablets)
• Obstetrics kits to handle 150 deliveries
• Essential drugs (e.g., antibiotics, oral rehydration salts, asthma/allergy medications, anti-diarrheals) and basic medical supplies
• Technical support to NGO partners on breastfeeding and nutrition issues
Child protection:
• Recreation kits (including games, paper, pens and sport equipment) are being procured for distribution
• Information on safety for vulnerable children (especially girls) in displacement situations is being produced (protection from abduction, etc.)
Further information will be provided as more supplies are dispatched. Media are encouraged to also refer to UNRWA news releases and updates.
About UNICEF

It hardly seems like winter here in Evergreen but I just have to post some snowy Evergreen family photography. Lack of snow this season has left me looking for something that reminds me that, yes we do get some of the white stuff here.
This is from a few years back but I want to share this family photo session with you. This family really wanted to get some portraits in the snowy mountains. Of course you can't predict the weather so we just decided to schedule a session in late November and hope for the best. As luck would have it, the evening before the session it began to snow! In the morning we were greeted with a thick blanket of sparkling powder. The down side? It was 10 degrees outside but we managed to get some awesome photos in a relatively short period of time. It helps that these kids are so cooperative. You can tell they really like the chilly weather. To round out the session and get a few more images, we decided to do some studio portraits as well. All in all, a very successful session.

The schedule has been unveiled for the 2008 Siren Festival at Coney Island, taking place Saturday July 19.
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks will headline the Main Stage while Canadians Broken Social Scene will take the top slot on the Stillwell Stage a short distance away along the Coney Island Boardwalk.
As previously reported, Ted Leo was recently announced to DJ between bands at the festival, while New York ear-bleeders A Place To Bury Strangers have been lined up to perform at the official after party taking place at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg.


A member of a Dublin family syndicate which scooped a massive €5.4 million Lotto jackpot before Christmas revealed today that she stored the winning ticket in a secure place for over a month… inside the cup of her sports bra!
The calmest family in Dublin waited for more than four weeks before finally claiming their millions at National Lottery HQ.
The golden ticket was purchased by the syndicate at the WH Smith shop at arrivals in Terminal 1 of Dublin Airport on December 23 while picking up a family member who was coming home for the festive season.
That wasn't the only place where the ticket lived as it was in her car for two days after she bought it as she hadn't realised it was worth a life-changing €5.4 million. Her mother heard on radio on Christmas Eve that the winner had bought the magic ticket in Dublin Airport.
The elated family were more than happy to bide their time to enjoy Christmas and then get financial advice before claiming their millions.
Meanwhile, the National Lottery has again appealed to the holder or holders of the first Lotto jackpot winning ticket of 2018, worth a massive €4.4 million, to come forward. The winner from the draw on 14th of January has still to make contact with the National Lottery. The golden Quick Pick ticket was sold in Daly's Topaz on the Letterkenny Road in Lifford, Co. Donegal.
You can be the second Lotto jackpot winner of the year if you play Lotto in-store, online or using the National Lottery App on your smartphone. Tomorrow's Lotto jackpot is heading for an estimated €3.5 million (Saturday 27th January).

The Legend Series: I will stop acting when I can no longer eat eba, says 'Oga Bello'
By Oluseyi Awojulugbe
Since he took on the role of 'Oga Bello' in 'Comedy Half Hour', the appellation has stuck to Adebayo Salami like a barnacle. The name, many have argued, is perhaps more prominent than the birth name of the veteran thespian.
After over half a century of sustained relevance in the fickle world of make-believe, Salami would be roundly celebrated if he chooses to hang up his boots, but the actor insists that will only happen when he can no longer swallow a morsel of Nigerian staple, eba.
Salami's success in the film industry has served as the catalyst and indirect launchpad for the careers of many of his subordinates and peers.
That his children, Femi, Kemi and Tope Adebayo, are following in his footstep, is a source of fulfilment to the actor who says he made his name "before the existence of films".
On this episode of TheCable Lifestyle's The Legend Series, 'Oga Bello' talks about his early days as an actor, running away from home to pursue his acting dream, passing the mantle to his children and what lies ahead in the horizon for him.
How did it feel growing up in a period when there was no technological explosion?
The most important thing is to adapt to whatever situation you find yourself. Then, I was in the travelling theatre where we would take our shows around the country and if you want to send an emergency message home, you had to use the telegram and you would make it express which would take about three or four days.
How did you find acting?
When I was young, I was interested in anything related to the arts. Where I was raised in Lagos Island, during Ramadan, we would go out in the middle of the night to wake people to eat. During the Ileya festival, we would do agere. When it's Easter, we practise a Brazillian culture where we wear things that made us look like different animals and we had another that we did in December. Cheif Hubert Ogunde inspired me and I picked up acting.
Did you have any other ambition?
I had the ambition of being a lawyer; I became interested when I was working with Alhaji Femi Okunnu. He was a lawyer and I was his personal assistant, a position I had occupied since he was federal commissioner of works and housing what is now called minister. When he finished his tenure, he asked me to resign and I did, it was then I became interested in law.
How did your parents take your decision to venture into acting?
In those days, no parent would allow their child become an actor because they didn't see any prospects in it. The common dream of parents was for their children to become doctors, lawyers or engineers so naturally, my parents refused. Let me say God directed me to remain adamant about acting. In fact, I ran away from the house and I was living with a friend in the church so I could continue acting. My parents found me after seven months.
Take us down memory lane on your early days in acting. What was it like?
When I started, it was not about the money it was the passion and that was how it was for almost everyone who joined at that time. The joy of doing what I loved was enough for me.
How do you feel when you are in the same movie set with your children?
I'm not in control of them at that time, the director is in control and he is the one that is interpreting the script so my children and I will listen to the director. When my son, Tope, is the director, he will correct me in cases of errors and I will adjust where necessary.
Did you encourage your children to join your trade?
I didn't instruct my children to join me in the industry, they have their various disciplines. When they showed interest, I brought them to the industry and I encourage them in the industry. The only thing I will not encourage them to do is join the industry when they have not finished their tertiary education.
How do you feel about the success of your children in the industry?
I thank God for what he has done for me. Femi is someone who is always ready to serve his people, just like me. I'm very happy because a lot of people ask that God do such for them and he has done it for me.
Would you change anything in your journey so far in the industry?
I'm changing many things moving forward.
Which do you prefer; the industry back then or now?
Both times are good. Back then we got allowances to eat but we can't get such now. When I was young, I got one and half kobo as food allowance. I'd buy beans worth one kobo and garri half kobo and I would be filled. You can't give children such now so we have to move with the trends. Actually, there has been development but the economy is bad. Sometimes if you earn money and try to compare the value, you will think that the old money has more value.
Which acting memory is unforgettable?
I can't forget my first stage play, it was the first time I faced a crowd. An army officer, Benjamin Adekunle, was in the crowd and he was famed to be strict. I was assigned the role of a talisman. At first, I was scared but I had to overcome my fears.
How do you handle fame?
You have to be very humble and appreciate the people that appreciate your work. When people call you on the street, it's because they appreciate your work and although they do not know your state of mind at that time, they want you to be cheerful when they greet you. You have to learn how to manage that because if you don't respond well, they will begin to say all sorts about you.
Is the industry profitable?
The industry is profitable, if it wasn't I won't be there till now. It depends on how you practise it.
Have you ever felt like ditching acting?
Before cinema, it was stage performance which metamorphosed into television. There was never a time that I felt like quitting because the money wasn't steady. Then in my group, Awada Keri Keri, we were placed on a salary scale so you got paid at the of the month. I remember that the last salary I took was N80 for the month.
I started acting in 1964 when I was in Standard six. I got married in 1975 and we were not travelling then so I had no issue with raising my family. I would go to the office in the morning, close by 3pm, go to rehearsal by 5pm and get home by 7pm. My family understood and we coped.
Have you left comedy?
No. That's the mark of a good actor, he must fit into any role. I have not left comedy, if I get a comical script tomorrow, I am ready to interpret it well.
How did you deal with the various transitions in your career?
The transition was easy especially when you have passion and you give yourself the appropriate education. For example, I attended seminars on stage, film and television production. I read books and upgraded myself in various areas. I didn't only attend seminars in Nigeria, I went as far as New York and London. The industry also requires practical experience so I read books to learn the rudiments of the profession and used it to garner practical experience.
How would you describe your time as ANTP president?
My tenure was fantastic, I was there to ensure that I made ANTP popular and inject discipline into it which I did. I enjoyed it because my executives were cooperative, That was when people recognised ANTP because we took it to the local government, state, national and international level.
Any chance of going into politics?
No way, forget about it. I'm not a politician and I can never be one, instead, I would support any government that I believe in, in terms of advocacy.
How long will you remain active and continue to entertain fans?
I still have the ability to do it and they are still demanding for me. An artiste doesn't retire, he moves with time. I will retire on the day I can no longer eat Eba. I also move in time with my stories, I always write social satire and things will continue to happen.

Loyle Carner – "Not Waving, But Drowning"
By Landon TurlockMay 12, 2019 No Comments
Not Waving, But Drowning presents a complex message from UK rapper Loyle Carner against a backdrop of soulful instrumentation, beautiful hooks, and excellent guest features.
Release date: April 19, 2019 | AMF Records | Facebook | Website | Instagram
Loyle Carner presents his music with an open heart and confessional flow, so it is only fitting that I start this review with my own admission: his debut full-length, 2017's Yesterday's Gone, is my most played album of the past two years. It has been an emotional anchor for me in a period of transitions, and Carner's personal lyrics accompany soulful instrumentals in a way that has fit almost any mood I've been in for upwards of 700 days. So you can imagine what kind of emotions and expectations the announcement and subsequent release of Not Waving, But Drowning, the UK rapper's sophomore record, carried for me. The album's title is explicit with the record's themes and subsequent structure, but does it swim or submerge with its ambitions and expectations?
Yesterday's Gone was an invitation into the mind of a young man in England coming to grips with the loss of his father and others in his life, finding ways to reconcile various elements of his identity and experience, and exploring the fragile beauty of family. And it was not particularly happy, even if it was hopeful.
At first listen, Not Waving, But Drowning feels decidedly more content and rejuvenated by young love. "Dear Jean" is a gentle, key-led opener that reads as a letter to Carner's mother, introducing his new and deep love for a woman he wishes to marry. This thematically carries into the next track, "Angel", where the simple chorus of 'You're my angel' is a memorable hook that cements his feelings for this person against a life that may have required some salvation.
This optimism culminates in the first single for the record, "Ottolenghi", which is easily my most played song of 2019. Its simple but uplifting piano chords match a relaxed beat, underpinning Jordan Rakei's soulful refrains and Carner's nuanced storytelling. Though a structurally straightforward song, its components are stunning and resonant, leaving the listener feeling inspired and reflective.
Or Drowning?
The album takes its name from a poem by Stevie Smith, a woman whose dualistic relationship with various beliefs and lifestyles led to the following opening stanzas:
'Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.'
The poem is clearly central to Carner's vision at the album, even if the opening songs third of the record present the front that all is well for the young rapper. However, as the record unfolds, the illusion of simple contentedness is disrupted. The horn-heavy swagger of "You Don't Know" fits perfectly here – we don't know what Carner is really aspiring to, or what he's experiencing. "Desoleil (Brilliant Corners)" revisits his earlier referenced romance, but in a much more vulnerable and real way, with the most technical performance I've heard the young rapper deliver.
Perhaps the most openhearted song, "Krispy", reads like an open letter to a distant friend and collaborator; Carner leaves 16 bars open on the track for his friend to respond. For a genre so often entrenched in machismo and rivalry, Carner opening his heart and arms to a fellow rapper is a touching subversion of so many hip hop tropes, without ever feeling contrived. The track further hints at the fact there is a great deal of loss and turmoil belying the rapper's earlier excitement and passion. This struggle is compounded elsewhere on songs like "Looking Back", with poignant explorations of race referencing his deceased father and forebears: 'I'm thinking that my great grandfather could have owned my other one' . But it is "Loose Ends" that is the emotional center of the second half of the album. With Jorja Smith leading the chorus, the track is stunning in its own right, while showing Carner further exploring the challenges associated with constant touring, love, and family.
Loyle Carner keeps his listeners close. We get to hear him talking with his friends, ordering food, and talking to his mother multiple times throughout Not Waving, But Drowning. These soundbites of his daily life are arranged as a counterpoint to emotionally open lyrics, minimalist and soulful instrumentation, and excellent hooks. Yet, Carner seems to simultaneously tell us not to take him at face value – that even his optimism is underpinned by struggle, that he may be the one who is not waving, but drowning. It is such nuanced messaging and its beautiful delivery that make Loyle Carner's sophomore record a natural extension and expansion of his previous record, while further cementing his place on my list of favorite rappers.

Revision as of 22:38, 24 June 2014 by DannyS (Talk | contribs)
Amacrine cells are interneurons in the retina. Amacrine cells operate at the inner plexiform layer (IPL), the second synaptic retinal layer where bipolar cells and ganglion cells form synapses. There are about 40 different types of amacrine cells and are classified by the width of their field of connection, which layer(s) of the stratum in the IPL they are in, and by neurotransmitter type. No single type of amacrine cell predominates; the type with most frequency is observed only 13% of total population, and the remainders are distributed among many types of cell, each making up 5% or less of the total amacrine cell population. The average diameter of dendritic field for each type varies over 34 to 400 microns, and their overall shapes alone are enough to serve as criterion of classification.
There is no clear distinction between dendrites and axons in the processes of most of the amacrine cells, though they are often referred to as dendrites in general.
Like horizontal cells, amacrine cells work laterally affecting the output from bipolar cells, however, their tasks are often more specialized. Each type of amacrine cell connects with a particular type of bipolar cell, and generally has a particular type of neurotransmitter. For example, one such population, AII, 'piggybacks' rod bipolar cells onto the cone bipolar circuitry. It connects rod bipolar cell output with cone bipolar cell input, and from there the signal can travel to the respective ganglion cells.

Visual Response Properties
Amacrine cells are responsible for mediating "antagonistic inputs from bipolar cells in [a] ganglion cell's surround."[1] Thus, amacrine cells take excitatory signals coming from bipolar cells and consequently mediate inhibitory signals to a postsynaptic ganglion cell in the 'center' of its respective receptive field. In terms of visual response properties, this means that an amacrine cell in this sort of lateral pathway located within the surround of an ON-center ganglion cell's receptive field will depolarize in the presence of light on the surround of the ganglion cell's receptive field, while one located in the surround of an OFF-center ganglion cell's receptive field will hyperpolarize under the same circumstances (and depolarize in the absence of light on the surround). ON-center ganglion cells are therefore inhibited by amacrine cells in their surrounds when light shines on the surround of their receptive fields, while OFF-center ganglion cells do not receive this inhibitory input under the same circumstances, but instead receive it in the absence of light on the ganglion cell receptive field surround.
As detailed below, starburst amacrine cells exhibit very selective visual response properties that have to do with a stimulus' direction with respect to the SAC's dendrites.
Cellular Biophysics
Amacrine cells are interesting biophysically in that they operate using both sodium-mediated action potentials and sodium-independent graded potential changes. This has been shown in inhibitory (i.e., GABAergic/glycinergic) amacrine cells[2], which make up the majority of amacrine cells, though it is unclear if this holds for all amacrine cells.
Starburst amacrine cells exhibit very strange biophysics. Distinct SAC dendrites are selectively activated by visual stimuli moving centrifugally with respect to those distinct dendrites. SAC dendrite-specific direction selectivity is thought to underlie the direction selectivity of on/off direction-selective ganglion cells[3], but the mechanism by which this direction selectivity is generated in SAC dendrites remains unknown.
Narrow-field amacrine cells[4]
Amacrine cells have their cell bodies located in the inner nuclear layer of the retina and have projections in the inner plexiform layer. Different subtypes of amacrine cells project differently in the inner plexiform layer[4], as shown in the figure to the right depicting different types of narrow-field amacrine cells.
Two amacrine cells with distinctive shapes. They can be easily mapped to their respective class in the catalog.[4]
Amacrine cells send projections from their cell bodies into the inner plexiform layer. These projections arborize differently for different subtypes of amacrine cells. Amacrine cells have these projections distributed roughly circularly in the inner plexiform layer, though some subtypes arborize asymmetrically. Most amacrine cells can be classified according to the diameter of their projection arborization: "narrow-field" cells have arbors less than 125 µm in diameter, "medium-field" cell arbors range from 125 to 400 µm in diameter, and "wide-field" cell arbors are larger than 400 µm.[4]
Their overall shapes alone are enough to serve as criterion for the classification.
Amacrine cells are postsynaptic targets of bipolar cells; these bipolar-to-amacrine cell synapses occur in the inner plexiform layer and are thought to be excitatory. Amacrine cells have their postsynaptic targets in the inner plexiform layer as well. Amacrine cell dendrites are known to synapse onto ganglion cell neurites in the IPL, mediating "antagonistic inputs from bipolar cells in the ganglion cell's surround." [1] These synapses are thought to be inhibitory.; this suggests that amacrine cells serve to regulate the output of bipolar cells in a negative-feedback loop fashion, and in fact it is thought that these amacrine-to-bipolar cell synapses are inhibitory. Further, "amacrine processes are also seen to contact other amacrine processes" in the IPL. These amacrine-to-amacrine cell synapses, interestingly enough, are thought to be excitatory. Amacrine cells are also known to form "reciprocal synapses" onto the bipolar cells that synapse onto them[5] Thus, amacrine cells form synapses onto bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and other amacrine cells, all in the inner plexiform layer.
A few types of amacrine cells are associated with their respective functions and with corresponding ganglion cells. For example, starburst amacrine cells (SACs) are known to make synapses onto on/off direction-selective ganglion cells (On/Off DSGCs) [6], and wide-field (WF) amacrine cells, also known as polyaxonal amacrine cells, are considered to be associated with object motion sensitive ganglion cells either directly or indirectly via bipolar cells [7].
Molecular markers
There exist several molecular markers for amacrine cells, including Pax6, Tcfap2b, Gad1, and GlyT1. However, no markers exclusively expressed in amacrine cells are known to exist, and there exist "far fewer molecular markers [for amacrine cells] than known morphological types" of amacrine cells.[8]
Antibodies against choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the acetylcholine biosynthetic enzyme, are useful in staining amacrine cells in the retina, as it has been thought for some time that amacrine cells are the only cholinergic retinal neurons. However, at least one study has shown that there may exist cholinergic ganglion cells through staining against an alternative splice variant of ChAT mRNA in rat retina.[9]
Staining the retina against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a key enzyme in the dopamine biosynthetic pathway, reveals the dopaminergic amacrine cells.[10] It should be noted, though, that (nor)adrenergic cells also contain TH, and thus in order to isolate only dopaminergic cells, staining should also be carried out against dopamine β-hydroxylase and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, enzymes found in the (nor)adrenaline biosynthetic pathways, but not in the dopamine pathway.[10]
Most amacrine cells are inhibitory and secrete only GABA or glycine, though in total, amacrine cells as a class use eight different neurotransmitters[1], including acetylcholine, dopamine, and several neuropeptides, such as vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), substance P, and somatostatin.[11] A particular class of amacrine cells—the starburst amacrine cell—has been found to be both cholinergic and GABAergic.[12] According to retinal neuron expert Richard Masland, it appears that every amacrine cell is GABA- or glycinergic, with those amacrine cells that secrete other neurotransmitters secreting them concurrently with GABA or glycine.[11]
The first characterization of amacrine cells is often attributed to Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Using the Golgi method of staining neurons, he first saw these cells in the avian retina in the late 1880s, naming them "amacrine" cells ("amacrine" meaning "without axon" in Greek). Though he was the first to call them amacrine cells, he built on the earlier work of J. Müller, who had previously described "spongioblasts" in the retina that were likely the very same cells Ramón y Cajal later named "amacrine."[13]
Open questions/status/relevance to Eyewire
Though it is more or less well-established how inhibitory amacrine cells function, it is less clear what functions non-GABAergic/glycinergic amacrine cells have in the retina. In particular, it is not well understood for which functions starburst amacrine cells require acetylcholine secretion or how starburst amacrine cells might use both GABA and acetylcholine in concert to accomplish certain fucntions. Starburst amacrine cells also exhibit very curious biophysics in that any given individual SAC dendrite is selectively activated by visual stimuli centrifugal with respect to that particular dendrite.[3] The mechanism for this selectivity remains unknown.
Also, as stated above, no amacrine cell-exclusive molecular markers are known to exist[8]; the discovery of such a marker would be incredibly beneficial to further amacrine cell research.
Status/relevance to Eyewire
