Jordan and Egypt are lands of mystery and marvels, where odes to the past stand in untouched, resplendent glory. These aren't countries just with museum pieces, but destinations that revel in the wonder of yesteryear. This handcrafted and private 16-day tour showcases all the highlights, from pyramids to Petra, sandstone deserts to medieval streets, captivating tombs to crusader castles and Roman legacies. There are even three days of Red Sea serenity to finish it all off.
Surreal chronicles fill the landscapes of Jordan and Egypt. Roman monuments stretch 20 meters into the sky yet are untouched by tourism. Temples and tombs reveal the ostentatious tastes of Egyptian pharaohs. Ancient cities are sculpted into sandstone while majestic pyramids leave a legacy that can only be truly understood when you're actually there. These are the lands where the great ancient civilizations flourished, from Thebes to the Roman Empire, medieval Islamic wonders to dynasties that existed 2,000 years before them. Best of all, these legacies to human history stand almost completely untouched. There's so much to see and explore here that you're only ever an hour away from the next mysterious ode to the past.
This 16-day private tour explores all the main highlights of Jordan and Egypt, starting with six nights in Jordan and finishing with three nights on the serene Red Sea coast at El Quseir. You connect the dots of civilizations, from the ruins of Jerash to the remarkable Valley of the Kings in Luxor. Along the way, you'll enjoy all the classic Egyptian and Jordanian experiences, including drinking tea in one of the sandstone caves of Petra, riding a camel to a three-millennium old temple, lounging in the Dead Sea, and spending three days cruising down the Nile River. Many of the attractions are remarkably close to each other, and it's easy to see a lot on any relaxed day. Your different destinations are connected by an assortment of flights and private road transfers that have inspiring stops en route.
Amman is a leisurely place to start and a great introduction to the region. You'll have two relaxed days in Jordan's capital, including a private tour out to the Roman ruins of Jerash. Take the King's Highway, stopping at Mount Nebo and the crusader castles en route to Petra, where you glimpse the ancient city at sunset. Two full days of flexible private tours reveal the best of the sandstone caves and carvings, complete with meeting a family that still lives in the ancient city. On the way to Amman, you'll journey through the surreal Wadi Rum desert and the equally peculiar Dead Sea.
Exploring Egypt starts with the pyramids, both those at Giza and the first ever pyramid at Saqqara. Spend three nights immersed in Cairo's history, including the churches of Coptic Cairo, treasures in the Egyptian Museum, and some of the world's finest medieval Islamic architecture. Fly to Aswan and the next three nights are spent on a luxury River Nile cruise. Disembark to explore the temples left behind by Egyptian dynasties, and then lose yourself in the marvels of Luxor, the site of historic Thebes. There's a lot to experience, and it's all complemented by your final stop, the untouched sand of El Quseir. Here, you relax after the journey and recall the wonders from Petra to the pyramids and everything in between.
Amman seems to blend into the desert, the soft yellow of its buildings matching the dusty tones of its surroundings. It's a capital that's soft and gentle, one that has maintained its old-world traditions into the 21st century. Chatter emanates from roadside cafes, an old amphitheater is hidden amongst the suburbs, and you'll find that the locals stick true to classic concepts of good hospitality. On your first afternoon, you'll realize that there are still capital cities where strangers greet each other on the streets and saying hello is part of the norm. Today you'll be greeted at the airport and transferred to your five-star accommodations at the Grand Hyatt Amman, where you can quickly feel part of the style and culture of this fascinating country.
The sensational ambiance of the Grand Hyatt Amman derives from the collection of award-winning chefs, wellness experts, and dedicated staff ensuring your first-class hospitality experience. The sophisticated rooms have a stylish touch blending traditional design with modern luxuries for a sophisticated style. Relish the distinctive, authentic, and harmonious charms inside the fascinating setting merging Amman's past and present. The winding streets beneath the central fortress contain hidden pockets of falafel stands and local restaurants filling the air with the aromas of mint, humus, and yogurt. The rest of the day is at your leisure to enjoy the charms of Amman at your preferred pace by discovering the Roman theatre or wandering through the contemporary art gallery of Darat Al Funun.
Gazing up at the Roman ruins of Jerash, you start to wonder why there are so few people around. The columns rise majestically, standing on a hill that overlooks a valley of olive groves. Huge pieces are strewn across the ground, from rugged bricks to slabs that once made up the Temple of Hercules. Visit similar ruins in Greece or Turkey, and you'll struggle to move for other tourists. Yet Jerash almost feels isolated, deserted and untouched since the Roman Empire evaporated.
The ancient city dates back to the 1st century BC and flourished until the mid-8th century AD. The outline of the hippodrome contains traces of its former glory where chariot races attracted up to 15,000 spectators. The graceful ruins of the Temple of Zeus adorn the hilltop blending a fabulous view over the city's remains with strong boulders embodying importance of the once significant structure. Jerash just one of the stops on your half-day tour from Amman, just one of the remarkable monuments that are scattered across Jordan.
Travelers have been going up and down the King's Highway for over 5,000 years, and the road is filled with sights from across the centuries. Mount Nebo is a place of pilgrimage with remarkable views over the Dead Sea; Christian mosaics illuminate the walls in Madaba, where a Byzantine church maintains the oldest map of Palestine in existence. Kerak Castle evokes stories of the crusaders as the largest fortress in Jordan with fountains dating back to the 2nd century AD.
Then the valley opens up, and suddenly you're looking down on the sandstone city of Petra. It's a five-hour drive from Amman to Petra, but there are many stops en route, with the guide aiming to get you a sunset glimpse of the old city before your private tours over the next two days. Over the day, you're likely to realize that one of the country's greatest highlights is its humility. Rather than shout and overly advertise its attractions (other than Petra), Jordan likes to leave a lot for visitors to discover first hand.
Wander the ancient corridor, through a red canyon that gets narrower with every footstep. Sprinkles of dust puff up as you get closer and the rock becomes marked with intricate swirls of orange and maroon. It feels like you're immersed in nature, lost in the marvel of the desert. But then the canyon opens from nowhere, and you're staring at a whole city carved into the sandstone. Remarkable tombs and temples grace the rock faces, with columns and sculpted sphinxes etched high onto mountains. Walk for another five minutes, and you learn that these first temples are just the start, just one suburb of an ancient city that stretches for many miles across the desert.
Petra has far too much to see for a single day. Much like a modern capital city, you need to journey out to its disparate suburbs and distinctive areas. A local guide will discuss the options for this vacation, as the exact routes will depend on your energy levels and how far you'd like to walk. You might also want to split the days up, seeing different areas at sunrise and sunset, leaving a few relaxed hours at the hotel when the sun is high in the sky.
As well as the famous temples, Petra is packed with caves, the homes of local people for many centuries. Over these two days, you'll meet a family that occupies one of these caves, sharing a glass of tea and experience time-honored hospitality. The Treasury will cause you to fall in love with Petra through the iron-laden sandstone originally erected to serve as a tomb for King Aretas III. The pillars glisten with golden orange light between nine and 11am.
Jordan's remarkable natural treasures are connected on your final full day in the country. Panoramas stretch out in Wadi Rum, the desert dunes blurring into ochre-colored escarpments that stand like sentinels to time. It's always an adventure here, bumping past the springs used by Lawrence of Arabia and the vistas can stay with you for decades. The landscapes embodies both unforgiving rawness of Jordan's terrain, as well as the breathtaking natural beauty featured in the mountain Jebel Rum. The western flank of the canyon soars over Rum village at 5,754 feet above sea level attracting rock climbers, hikers, and wild ibexes overlooking the towering sandstone arches and red sand dunes of the stunning moonscape.
You have the option of staying in Wadi Rum overnight combining authentic charm and sophisticated beauty at Sun City Camp. The attentive staff and unparalleled location provide a majestic experience amid the panoramic view of the valley floor, ascending mountains, and scattered sandstone pillars. You can relax in the peaceful comforts of your private luxury tent staring up at the stars, venture into the vast sky in a hot air balloon, or discover the indelible marvels of the desert on a trekking excursion.
Then it's back along the King's Highway to a luxurious five-star resort Kempinski Ishtar Dead Sea on the banks of the renowned salt lake at the earth's lowest point, where rocks climb high above surreal green waters. Kempinski Ishtar Dead Sea embraces the majesty of Jordan's illustrious nature and fascinating history within luxurious accommodations. Flawless service epitomizes elegance with staff taking pride in their fine attention to detail amidst the gorgeous scenery along the banks of the Dead Sea. Celebrated restaurants, a soothing spa, a shimmering infinity pool, and easy access to the historic marvels along Jordanian countryside make Kempinski Ishtar Dead Sea an exceptional destination. In the afternoon, take a dip in the water. There's enough salt for you to sit in the sea, making for another surreal photo from Jordan's untouched land. You'll spend the night in five-star opulence with sublime views over the water and its marvelous sunset scenes.
Amman and Cairo couldn't be more different, one with the atmosphere of a forgotten town, the other showcasing the colorful bustle of a modern capital. Cairo may be big and busy, but that's part of its charm, especially with a local guide showing you the customs and secrets. In the morning, you'll transfer back to Amman Airport for the flight to Cairo, where the afternoon can travel in many directions. The guide can show you many sides of the city, from its affluent leafy suburbs to its famous bridges and squares, or its medieval streets and its much older treasures, including the narrow medieval lanes of Khan al Khalil market. Colored glass lamps dangle from open stalls and the aromas of black pepper and coriander emanates from the restaurants. A traditional meze lunch is included, and you have time to settle into the ambiance of the country amid the scent of fresh mint. A five-star hotel provides pure relaxation after the day in the city.
Now the pyramids, the architectural wonders that hardly seem real even when you're sitting on the bottom step. Enter past the Sphinx, passing the guardian's steely glare to the three icons standing proudly amongst the desert. With every footstep, they loom larger, rising over 130 meters into the blissful blue sky. Your guide knows the best photographic angles, and you stay ahead of the crowds, climbing inside one of the temples and getting a sense of how the ancient wonder of the world was crafted. From Giza, you head to Saqqara and ride out to the first ever Egyptian pyramid on the back of a camel. It's a remarkable sight, crumbling slowly yet still as classically shaped as it was more than 3,500 years ago. It's a full-day tour today, but it moves at a relaxed pace, and the emphasis is on really exploring, rather than simply ticking off the famous sights.
Although many of the pyramids were looted, the collection of treasures that have been unearthed from them remains unfathomable. While pieces from the tombs are scattered in museums across the world, it's the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities that houses the greatest chest of gems and treasures recovered from the temples. You'll be glad to have a guide, as these precious artifacts are difficult to piece together amongst the seeming disarray of the museum.
The Egyptologist leads you through the most remarkable of what's on offer then takes you into Coptic Cairo and medieval Cairo, historic suburbs that have retained their atmosphere of old-world Christianity and Islam. Comparing the two provides a sublime journey through architecture styles and atmospheres, from charming 6th-century churches to calligraphy draped across markets and lanes. Most of the suburbs are pedestrianized, a maze of lanes that twist through the stories of history, and then suddenly open out onto squares of alfresco terraces filled with the invigorating scent of brewing coffee.
It's a short flight to Aswan, where you're transferred to a luxury boat for a 3-day cruise down the River Nile. The route connects the legacy of Ancient Egypt's dynasties, passing temples and tombs that are dotted across the banks. Start at Philae Temple and then gaze up at the Unfinished Obelisk. Afterward, set sail down the river with a cocktail reception leading you north towards Luxor. Watch the life unfold along the riverbanks then marvel at Kom Ombo Temple, the perfect vista for your first dinner on board. The boat moors here and you'll soon be enveloped by the tranquility of a Nile River cruise, especially when bands of yellow and red light up the dusk sky.
Explore Kom Ombo Temple at sunrise, its sacred crocodiles sculpted into the pillars along the riverbank. Then wander to the temple's opposing side and come face to face with odes to the sun god. Next, you continue the journey north, enjoying coffee and brunch as the Nile widens. By midday, you're in Edfu, where lunch is served with another enigmatic view, this time of the Temple of Horus. The aroma of chickpeas, ghee, and cinnamon stay with you until the late afternoon. Later in the day, you explore this temple's legend and legacy, as well as its remarkable size reaching 76 meters wide and 79 meters long. The temple structure was completed in 57 BC but established in the 3rd century BC. On a busy vacation through Jordan and Egypt, this Nile cruise provides many relaxed hours; just sit back and watch the wonders of the Nile slowly emerge from the desert.
Esna Lock opens, and you cruise through, onwards towards the majestic pinnacles of Luxor. You can see the temples from afar, their columns rising high above the banks. And when you disembark, you get to explore the monuments with a private guide, steering you away from the tour groups and into a mysterious world of hieroglyphs and mosaics, spiraling pillars and ancient inscriptions. Of all Egypt's monuments, it's the temples of Karnak and Luxor that most ignite the imagination, such majestic scale and intricate detail connected by the old Avenue of Sphinx. The ancient lane once extended for approximately three kilometers. Historians believe up to 1,350 sphinxes lined the avenue on which the Opet Festival took place annually celebrating the symbolic reenactment of the marriage between Amun and Mut. Fragments of 850 sphinxes dating back to the 14th century BC were recently uncovered. After a full afternoon exploring on foot, you return to the boat for a farewell dinner and final evening on board.
It's worth setting the alarm for your final desert sunrise, a flaming ball sending a mirage of colors across the soft facades of Luxor Temple. After breakfast, you follow the direction of the sun, disembarking onto Luxor's West Bank and the Valley of the Kings. This is where the pharaohs of old Thebes were entombed, and the scale of the monuments is almost too much to take in. A private tour breathes life into the hieroglyphs and images, so much history found in every corner. You explore four of the tombs, heading downstairs into the mysterious atmosphere of yesteryear, the Egyptologist helping to paint a picture of ancient Egypt's 18th dynasty. It's a short hop over to the nearby Valley of the Queens and elaborate mortuary temples, before a meze lunch at a restaurant with views over Luxor's West Bank. Later in the afternoon, you continue by road to El Quseir, where a boutique Red Sea resort is your base for the final three nights.
Exotic greens mix with surreal blues as you gaze over the Red Sea. The waters lap gently onto deserted sand that's backdropped by palms and spaced sun loungers. There are few people here, just a handful of guests enjoying the resort's huge private beach and sense of pure tranquility. These two days are at your leisure, and there's little to interrupt the repose. Remove the watch, discard the shoes, feel your feet on the soft sand, and spend hours watching the sun glide across the desert sky. El Quseir is remote and a more boutique alternative to Egypt's better-known Red Sea destinations. And for that reason, it's as serene as it always has been. There are excellent options for diving and snorkeling should you wish to do more than lie about on the beach.
Follow the Red Sea north on the short journey to Hurghada and its international airport, where you leave Egypt after 16 days amongst the highlights of both Jordan and Egypt.

Q: Javascript Kinetic Text Animation alignment I am trying to animate text in a canvas using Kinetic js
Canvas size 940 x 600
Animations are x and y
I can't seem to get the positioning right, I would like the vertical to start and finish at the top and the horizontal to start and finish on the left side.
Currently they are moving the right direction, but they start and finish out side of the canvas.
This may have something to do with the set amplitude, but i'm not that great at js coding yet to know whats wrong.
http://jsfiddle.net/eev8u/3/

A: Here's how to adjust the alignment in your sine wave animation
This is what a sine wave looks like

Notice it always generates a number from +1 to -1.
Since your words follow the sine values...

*

*Your words are go offscreen when the sine is generating negative numbers.

*Your words come back onscreen when sine is generating positive numbers.

amplitude:

*

*Is the "swing" in sine:

*Greater amplitude == greater movement (left-right or up-down)

period:

*

*Is the regulator of speed.

*It is the denominator in frames per second (frames/period).

*Greater period == slower speed

So...to keep your words swinging onscreen, just add Amplitude to your X/Y values.
This adjusts the sine value to always be 0+.
Here is a simplified version of your animation that moves in a sine wave that's always onscreen:
// amplitude is how much "swing" is in your words
var amplitude = 100;

// period adjusts the framerate of your animation
var period = 1000;

var anim = new Kinetic.Animation(function(frame) {
    hbox.setX (amplitude * Math.sin(frame.time/period)+amplitude);
    vbox.setY(amplitude * Math.sin(frame.time/period)+amplitude);
}, layer);

Here is full code and a Fiddle:  http://jsfiddle.net/m1erickson/wazpx/

Horse's Mouth: Lili Wang, Chinese Herald
By StopPress Team February 20, 2018
Chinese Herald owner Lili Wang has a classic immigrant story. She originally arrived in New Zealand with nothing but a ceaseless ambition to make something of her new life. And she has done just that, commencing her career in banking, starting her own business and eventually purchasing the Chinese Herald. Now, as she sits down to chat with NZ Marketing, she says her sights are set on building a bridge between the Chinese and what she calls "mainstream" communities in New Zealand.

The Uprising in Ecuador: Inside the Quito Commune
Documentation / Von CrimethInc. Ex-Workers Collective / 2019-10-15 2019-10-15 / commune, ecuador, IWF, protests, Riot
In early October, a wave of protests swept the streets of Ecuador against cuts in gasoline subsidies and, consequently, rising costs of living. This has become the country's largest popular uprising in decades. Indigenous marches arrived in Quito, the capital, and occupied the Parliament building; thousands of protesters confronted President Lenín Moreno's police forces, forcing the government to relocate its headquarters to try to escape the insurrection. Moreno is the successor to and former vice president of the leftist Rafael Correa, who rode to power on the momentum of the social movements of the 1990s and ruled the country from 2007 on, implementing the same neoliberal model for pacifying and co-opting social movements applied by other left governments in Latin America like the Workers Party (PT) in Brazil. The convergence of various rural, city, student, women, and indigenous groups has contributed to radicalizing a struggle that is now becoming a popular uprising.
On Monday morning, October 14, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador announced that the president had backed down and agreed to repeal the decree 883, the austerity bill (known as the paquetazo, package), and replace it with new agreements to be build with indigenous movements. But the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) announced that the struggle continues, demanding the departure of the Ministers of Defense and Interior, who were responsible for the violent repression of the protests.
We conducted this interview on October 10, directly with comrades on the barricades in the streets of Ecuador, in order to understand the background of the mobilization. An earlier version of this interview appeared in Portuguese via Facção Fictícia.

The Next Hour / News / 'Here comes the sun' with Urwerk UR-100 Electrum

'Here comes the sun' with Urwerk UR-100 Electrum
Recreating ancients' magic, new UR-100 Electrum, with satin-brushed 18K 2N Electrum yellow gold case (41 x 49.7 mm), caliber UR 12.01 with automatic winding system regulated by the Winfänger system with propeller and planetary gear system, aluminium satellite hours driven into titanium Geneva crosses, titanium carrousel, triple baseplate in ARCAP, Super-LumiNova®-painted hours and minutes markings. Indications: satellite hours; minutes; Earth's rotation on its axis at the Equator in 20 minutes; Earth's revolution around the sun in 20 minutes. Leather strap. 25-piece limited edition.
Electrum is one of the original precious materials, regarded by the ancients as a veritable treasure. This gold and silver alloy was indeed much coveted among Ancient Greeks, Amerindian civilisations and Ancient Egyptians. While the first coins were minted from this metal, the noble, flamboyant, luminous material gradually fell into oblivion… while awaiting a much-deserved new lease on life. Urwerk recreates this magic in the UR-100 Electrum which proudly proclaims 'here comes the sun' as the Beatles famously sang.
The UR-100 Electrum is the new edition of Urwerk's 100 collection. This 25-piece edition has a case made of an organic gold and palladium alloy. In addition to its sunny yellow colour, it features a structured, pleated and undulating surface. This highly distinctive aesthetic is based on the numerous aesthetic references of Martin Frei, co-founder of Urwerk. "The case of the UR-100 Electrum is covered with grooves. Everyone can project their own universe into this design. I see the tiers of an ancient Greek theatre, the subtle pleats of an Iris van Herpen dress, a piece of raw earth hollowed out by the imprints of time, the Seigaiha motif of a traditional kimono… This creation is an invitation to embark on a temporal and sensory journey."
The rhythm and rhyme of time are played out in the centre of this golden arena. In addition to the satellite-type hours and minutes display, the UR-100 Electrum provides a new item of information. Once the 60th minute has passed, the minutes hand vanishes and reappears as a kilometre counter illustrating the 555 kilometres travelled every 20 minutes by every inhabitant of the Earth. This in fact corresponds to the Earth's average speed of rotation calculated at the Equator. Earth's revolution around the sun – corresponding to 35,740 kilometres per 20 minutes – is displayed exactly opposite. On the face of the UR-100 Electrum, hours and kilometres thus share the same status, the same scale of value. These units are illuminated in incandescent green for the hours and in blazing white for the kilometres.
Felix Baumgartner, master watchmaker and co-founder of Urwerk, said: "This creation was inspired by a gift from my father, Geri Baumgartner, a renowned restorer of antique clocks. It is a clock made by Gustave Sandoz for the 1893 World's Fair. Its distinctive feature is that instead of counting off the hours, it indicates the distance travelled by the Earth at the Equator". Martin Frei, designer and co-founder of Urwerk, fought hard to have this indication appear on the dials of the UR-100 "In my view, a watch is both a physical and abstract reproduction of our situation on Earth. It anchors us to a precise time and longitude, while at the same time testifying to the fleeting nature of that position." Beating beneath the dome of the UR-100 is Urwerk Calibre 12.01 with its three-satellite time display. The satellite indicating the exact time moves from 0 to 60 along the minutes track.
UR-100 Electrum – 25-piece limited edition – Price: CHF 62,000 (~ USD 68,000)

Soldier accused of killing wife, New York trooper after domestic dispute
Posted at 5:28 AM, Jul 10, 2017
A New York state trooper has been shot dead while responding to a domestic dispute in Jefferson County, police say.
Trooper Joel R. Davis was shot as he approached a residence in the town of Theresa after reports of shots being fired Sunday night, New York State Police Superintendent George P. Beach said in a statement.
Davis was a 36-year-old father of three, assigned to the New York town of Philadelphia, Beach said.
"The suspect, 32-year old Justin D. Walters, surrendered to other State Troopers without incident. Walters is an active duty Army infantryman who is stationed at Fort Drum," his statement said.
Police said a female victim was also found dead at the scene.
CNN affiliate WWNY quoted police as saying that woman was Walters' wife, but police would not confirm the connection to CNN.
Police said a second woman living in a shed on the property had also been shot but that her injuries were not life-threatening, WWNY reported.
"The entire New York family grieves today," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. "...His death is yet another sad reminder of the risks law enforcement officers face each day in order to protect our communities and serve the residents of this great state," Cuomo said.

Today my daughter and I made our first mug cake together. A nice yummy treat made in under ten minutes. The recipe I had was from my new Mug Cake Cookbook. We tried the first one listed, a yellow cake and added some homemade whip cream and fresh raspberries to top it. It was so simple and quick to make. The mug we used was my daughter new coffee dorm mug. The recipe we used was for two mug cakes but will fill one extra huge mug just fine. It was so nice to try something that I know my daughter will most likely make for herself in the future while off at college and get to spend that quality time with her. Cake was tasty. Happy all around as we shared.
Melt butter in mug. Add in milk, egg , sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir with fork. Add flour last. Bake 1 1/2 minutes to 2 1/2 min in microwave. Time will vary depending on wattage of microwave. Mine took 2 min. Look for it to rise and be firm to touch in mug. Cool a little and add topping.
My homemade whip cream was a spoonful of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Beat on high for a few minutes to you have soft peaks.
Top off with fresh raspberries. Yum!
Ohhh I think I have that same cookbook – isn't it brilliant?! My mother-in-law got me onto mug cakes a few years ago and I've been hooked ever since! Enjoy eating your way through the book!!

Does the Whole Country Really Hate Me?
By Diego Delfino
That was the question that Emily Granados asked herself after her Facebook account started to erupt with private messages containing threats, reproaches and all kinds of insults. "I had to close the account temporarily," she told me.
Emily contacted me days ago because she wanted to tell her side of the story. "I'm worried that people judge without knowing; there are people that have even left offensive messages on my employer's page." We had arranged to see each other when she came to San Jose (she lives in Alajuela). This Saturday, along with her family, she visited my home and we chatted.
The young interior designer and wedding planner earned national and international fame, thanks to a photo taken of her while she walked among a group of Kemp's Ridley sea turtles, in Ostional. The image was taken during the chaotic weekend during which more than 5,000 tourists visited the beach.
The entire country knew about the event just hours later, thanks to various articles in different national media that used the photos, provided by SITRAMINAE.
"When I got to the beach, I saw two photographers and I thought they were making a documentary since they were taking photos of the turtles and they had tripods in the sand… I didn't realize when they took the photo of me."
As soon as the image hit the web, the reaction on social networks was immediate. While the insults came in ("…that heap of vultures," etc.), for obvious reasons, the young woman in the photo became the perfect target for the herd mentality. It is well known that people, when roused up by masses, feel encouraged to attack others.
"We are a society that thrives on ridiculing others and making ourselves feel better by making a spectacle of someone else."
That statement was made by Nicole Haase in the article she wrote days after a group of young women were ridiculed by the public when they were caught taking selfies during a baseball game.
Don't misinterpret me – this isn't about losing critical insight or being politically correct; it's about not giving free rein to prejudgment and summary execution when we don't have any idea what really happened. No one would like to be in the position in whichyou fall victim to a digital lynching. Especially when the only evidence we have is a photo. What was the woman doing there? Was she really putting turtles at risk? Did she mistreat any animals?
Sitting across from me, while her husband and daughter watch cartoons, Emily tells me her story.
"The strange thing is that we were part of a group of eight or ten people that actually paid for a tour to see the turtles. In Samara we were put in touch with a local agency because we don't like to just visit, but to also get to know [a place]. We even paid for a kayak [tour] and they offered to take us to see the turtles. My daughter loves them so we signed up."
The agency (Carillo Tours) organizes visits guided by an instructor who gives very clear instructions regarding how visitors can interact with the turtles. "It was never said that we couldn't walk close to them, because that doesn't bother them; we just had to avoid passing in front of them and that's what we did."
Once they were in Ostional, the guide indicated that they could not enter without a park guard. Accompanied by both officials, they entered. "We noticed that more and more people were arriving… I never saw police, chains, signs, nothing. It was like going to Jaco and going on to the beach; completely open. They asked us to stay together. We never touched the turtle."
What were you doing at the moment the photo was taken?
El guíanospidió que nos alejáramos del gentío para no impedir el paso de las tortugas, nos indicó entonces que nos acercáramos a la orilla. En ese momento llegó hasta la costa una ola grande, que incluso le botó el trípode al fotógrafo. Imagino fue ahí que tomó la foto. Yo estaba capeándome la ola, nunca intervine en el camino de ninguna tortuga ni toqué ninguna tortuga.
The guide asked us to get away from the crowd to not block the turtles' path, so they told us to go to the side. At that moment I got to the side of a big wavethat even knocked over the photographer's tripod. I think it was then that they took the photo. I was dealing with the wave; I never crossed in the path of a turtle, nor did I touch a turtle.
You look happy…
Why wouldn't I be? Itwas a familytrip. Aside from the crowd it was a great trip… [it was] peaceful;we enjoyed it. We were also following all of the instructions they had given us and we had paid for the tour, specifically to visit under the proper conditions.
Emily is particularly frustrated to have followed all of the park guards' instructions, as well as the guide's, and in a stroke of bad luck end up as the official face of articles with titles such as "When the Biggest Animal is the Tourist" (Cuando el mas animal es el turista, Univison), "The Selfies of Shame"(Los selfies de la verguenza, Ensenada), and "The Flood of Tourists that Stopped Turtles from Nesting" (La oleada de turistas que impidioanidar a las tortugas, El Pais).
Not one of those outlets (and so many others around the country and world) was able to get Emily's story. A good number just went with the simple version and edited the events (which motivated my initial article on the subject). Suddenly, Costa Rica was a country of irresponsible lunatics and this young woman was the modern, feminine version of Eco Loco. Tired, she decided that the moment to speak had arrived.
How did it come out that you were the person in the photo?
At the beginning, only my friends knew. But the moment in which a malicious person saw it and started to tell their contacts is when the situation got out of control. Initially I thought that after a couple of days everything would pass.Then I realized that the insults and threats were even coming to my employer's page. There were even people who tagged me in the images.
The photo eventually made it to the New York Times…
Yes, it went around the world. But imagine it – if only the people who had gone with park guards had entered, this would never have happened. I still don't understand how such a nice experience like this, like any other family trip, ended up like this. I cried a ton, I had nightmares, I felt very bad. There were people writing to tell me that I was the shame of the country, that they hoped they wouldn't see me in the street. These people don't know me, they don't know who I am, they don't know that I love animals, that I would never mistreat them.
What do you think about the coverage about the subject?
It seems to me that what is really important, what should be discussed, is the authorities' work. The media failed at that; it was a much more interesting subject. Instead, to put together the scandal, they ended up choosing, out of the thousands of people who went, someone who paid for the tour and who had the park guards' permission to be there. And what happened, happened.
Emily doesn't hold the photographer responsible, nor the media, nor the park guards, nor the public – she knows that everything depends on chance and a series of unfortunate events, a chain of which we all are part. She worries, however, about how easy we can throw stones at others without knowing them. "Imagine if this would have happened to someone who is going through a rough time – the consequences could be very serious."
Clearly, she had the tools to manage the situation, confront it and turn the page. "We love to explore Costa Rica; an incident like this isn't going to discourage us. Actually, we're coming home from Monteverde and in a few days we're going to Dota," she tells me, smiling and happy, while telling her three year-old daughter that decorations and toys are not the same… that decorations should not be touched, like turtles.
Fleeing in reverse: Return and keep quiet to live in Nicaragua
Rodrigo Chaves: "My Latino culture was subjectively interpreted as inappropriate"


The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) recent alarming report silences the pseudo-scientific idiots who for years have denied the evidence and put humanity on track to catastrophe: we must change or face extinction. It's like there's a fire alarm ringing in the kitchen, and we're asking if it's real or a dream, if we should ignore it or whether we should find a way to turn it off, rather than putting out the fire that's causing it. Global warming is no longer a distant threat to future generations: it's already affecting the quality of life and the prospects of survival of life on the planet, unless they intend to die within a few years. To ignore it, to discuss it or to deny it is to waste precious time.
Firstly, to understand that our current evolution is completely unsustainable. Stopping this implies ignoring the fundamental dogma of capitalism: economic growth. Most of what causes global warming is done in the name of the supposed need for economic growth at all costs. Alternative technologies to fossil fuels exist, but we don't use them because it would shut down entire industries, boost unemployment and bring about multimillion-dollar losses for powerful companies. The blame here lies with our economists, who for decades have defended unsustainable economic growth at all costs. The planet, like everything, has its limits.
At the same time, we need to identify the economic activities with the potential to create value from the opportunities that global warming presents. As the evidence mounts, society needs to adapt and change its ideas, leading us hopefully to a turning point when we all reject products and services that generate CO2 emissions, replacing them with others that at the least do not contribute to the problem. We are possibly facing the most important paradigm shift in our history, and to think that this will not create opportunities for entrepreneurs and for those capable of understanding this is blind. The entrepreneurs of the future see global warming as an important opportunity, one capable of generating income in exchange for a net environmental improvement.
Second: technology helps. But it does so at its own pace: it is only possible to lower the cost of technology to make it competitive through economies of scale and learning. Tesla has practically achieved this: while many laugh at its production difficulties, as if it were easy to go from being a manufacturer with no experience in mass production to producing 80,000 vehicles each quarter, outselling consolidated brands such as Porsche, Mercedes Benz or BMW, becoming the best-selling American car in the United States, and doing so with a model that despite its price tag, is cheaper to run than its competitors and also much safer. Does this mean that we should all buy a Tesla? Obviously not, as much as anything because it's not possible. But we must press all vehicle manufacturers to abandon the internal combustion engine and focus on electric vehicles, which in turn will bring radically down the cost of batteries. The million electric vehicles in circulation in the United States represent an important milestone, but we must go much further.
This means deciding that the last car we bought was actually that: the last, unless we have the means to go electric. Not buying a new car is the best way to pressure the automobile industry to change: we don't really benefit from buying a new vehicle, but imagine what could be achieved if the car companies were forced to start manufacturing electric vehicles because nobody wants their dirty old diesel and gasoline models.
Once again technology is crucial: tremendous progress is being made with autonomous vehicles as they acquire more and more experience on the roads, convincing regulators to pass new laws to facilitate their spread. Start thinking about your quality of life when you are free from an underutilized car and when, in addition, cities have been redesigned to make them safe places to walk, ride a bicycle, use electric scooters or fleets of autonomous vehicles, free from the chaotic tyranny of the motor car. Visualize this, and then start lobbying your city or town hall: the sooner the better.
Transport contributes more than a third of emissions, but it's not the only area where we need to act. Heating, air conditioning and the supply chain are responsible for a large part of emissions and there is much we can do here, from responsible consumption by buying locally produced goods to making our homes more energy efficient, as well as reducing the consumption of certain foods, such as meat, particularly beef, as well as flying less frequently. All this may generate alarm in the affected industries, but we have to accept that we have no alternatives.
Technology, again, can help. Progress is being made to methods to extract CO2 from the atmosphere to bury it and even used to fix certain materials when they break, offering the potential for a viable carbon economy with neutral or even negative emissions.
The end of coal could be in sight, although it will require piling more pressure on governments and politicians, not only to embarrass them for their short-sightedness, but to throw them out if they don't change their ways. Climate change has to stop being a well-intentioned side issue and instead recognized as the most important, decisive and fundamental question we all face.
Change is possible. But we have to act fast, rather than waiting for a miracle: we have to understand what is happening, inform ourselves and make the right demands on the right people, even if we think these impinge on our individual freedoms, our comfort or force us to make sacrifices most us are not prepared to make yet. The fire alarm is ringing: we ignore it at our peril.

Texans LT Duane Brown ends holdout, reports to team
HOUSTON – Coming off of their bye week, the Texans have another player ready to go to work. Left tackle Duane Brown has ended his holdout and reported to the team.
The 10-year NFL veteran had skipped the team's off-season workouts and training camp, and now has reported to the team with what is believed to be a desire to renegotiate his contract that had two seasons remaining.
Brown was subject to forfeiture of game checks for the six games he's already missed this season. At his salary, those monies total more than $3 million in lost wages.
While he has reported, the plans for Brown are uncertain. The NFL trade deadline is 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Just before the 2017 season began and following Hurricane Harvey on Sept. 4, Brown and his wife helped organize and held a fundraising barbeque where he briefly addressed his holdout.
"Not going to get into that too much, but definitely playing football this year," Brown said. "It's tough man, that's my craft. That's something I love to do. Those are my brothers, so it's tough."
Prior to the start of training camp in West Virginia, Texans general manager Rick Smith addressed the situation with Brown.
"I have talked to Duane, yes. I don't know that this is a holdout," Smith said in July. "There is no contract dispute. Duane is under contract for two more years. That's our position. We're here to get our football team ready for the season. He should be a part of it. Duane and I have a really good relationship."
Under his contract, Brown would have earned a little less than $19 million for the 2017 and 2018 seasons, but the money is not guaranteed.

Biographie

Débuts (2006–2010)

Les trois membres d'origine (Matt Schultz, Brad Schultz et Jared Champion) faisaient partie d'un groupe au lycée qui s'appelait Perfect Confusion et qui a enregistré un unique album. Perfect Confusion ne change pas de nom pour devenir Cage the Elephant ; le groupe se sépare simplement, et deux nouveaux membres les rejoignent pour créer Cage the Elephant.

Le groupe signe avec le label Relentless Records après avoir joué au festival South by Southwest. leur premier concert se fait en ouverture pour Queens of the Stone Age au Canada. Ils se délocalisent ensuite à Londres, en Angleterre dans la banlieue de Leyton. À cette période, Lincoln n'est âgé que de 16 ans et ses parents signeront une décharge parentale. En 2008, ils participent à l'émission britannique Later... with Jools Holland avec Coldplay, Sia, Glen Campbell, John Mellencamp, et Amy Levere (qui serviront de public au groupe).

Ils enregistrent leur premier album, l'éponyme Cage the Elephant, publié le 23 avril 2008 au Royaume-Uni, le 21 mars 2009 aux États-Unis, au Japon, en Australie, et au Canada, et généralement bien accueilli par la presse spécialisée, principalement pour son énergie et sa puissance. Leur single Ain't No Rest for the Wicked atteint la  de l'UK Singles Chart. Le nombre de fans de Cage the Elephant s'accroit significativement après que le groupe assure la première partie de The Pigeon Detectives au début de l'année 2008.

Making jigs and fixtures using additive manufacturing provides dramatic cost savings compared to conventional machining. But the savings involve more than how the tools are made. When companies understand the full scope of benefits that 3D printed tools offer, the ROI becomes very attractive, making it easier to justify the technology.

43% of 2136 adolescents reported to have seriously injured themselves -- Tanzania Journal of Health Research Vol.15 No.1
This is our second consecutive post on the Tanzania Journal of Health Research. Today we are featuring vol.15 no.1, which was updated on Bioline at the end of March 2014.
This issue includes "Knowledge, attitude and practices on family planning services among adolescents in secondary schools in Hai District, northern Tanzania" by Dangat & Njau. This study examines attitudes, knowledge and practices of family planning services among adolescents in 10 secondary schools in the Hai district in northern Tanzania. The study was conducted between April and June 2011 through a cross-sectional survey administered to 316 randomly selected students, of which the median age was 17 years old. The results indicated that about 71% of survey respondents said that family planning services should not be used by adolescents, and less than 6% of survey respondents had received family planning services in their lifetime.
This issue also includes "Self-inflicted serious injuries among adolescents in Zambia" by Muula et al. This study aims to uncover some of the factors and and prevalence of self-inflicted injuries among students in Zambia. The study was conducted using data from the 2004 Zambia Global School-Based Health Survey to assess the prevalence within the last 12 months. Out of 2136 adolescents who did the survey, more than 43% were reported to have seriously injured themselves. Of these adolescents, almost 12% reported to have serious injured themselves on purpose. Emotions associated with a history of self-inflicted injury included sadness, suicidal behaviour, alcohol use and marijuana use.

Faith healers could serve as HIV educators at the community level - African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines Vol.8 No.5
Today we are featuring the African Journal of Traditional vol.8 no.5. This issue includes "Trends and challenges of Traditional Medicine in Africa", an article by Abdullahi that details the changes in traditional medicine over the past few decades, as well as the new shift toward traditional medicine.
This issue also includes "A Controlled Study of an HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Intervention with Faith Healers in Vhembe District, South Africa" by Mashamba et al. This article details a study conducted in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa. The study entailed the HIV/AIDS training of 58 faith healers from the United African Apostolic Church in two municipalities of Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa. The training was done over a period of two days. A group of 45 faith healers was used as a control group. Both groups were evaluated after two months. The results indicated that faith healers who received training had a greater knowledge of HIV/AIDS and some knowledge of TB. However, the management practices of HIV/AIDS such as risk behaviour counselling, testing referrals and community education of HIV/AIDS among other things were not significantly improved. The study concluded that faith healers could be useful in HIV prevention programmes and could serve as educators at the community level.
This issue also includes articles on the interactions and use of herbs and drugs. The first article, "Patient Counseling about Herbal-Drug Interactions" by Hussain comments on the complicated relationship between herbal medicines and medications when being taken at the same time. The second article, "Evaluation of Herbs as Potential Drugs/Medicines" by Odhiambo et al. looks at how 34 different types of plants could be used to treat human ailments, and which parts of the plant were most commonly used. The results indicated that Asteraceae and Leguminosae were among the plants most commonly used. The results also indicated that leaves and roots were the most common parts of the plant used.

Resistance to some TB drugs occurred only in new cases - Tanzania Journal of Health Research Vol.14 No.4
Today we are featuring the Tanzania Journal of Health Research. This is the second time we are featuring the journal on our blog--the first time it was featured was in former Bioline team member Esha's post on a Student Perspective of Immunization Delay in Nigerian Infants. The journal was first posted on Bioline in 2008, and since then Bioline has posted 270 of its articles. The journal was formerly called the Tanzania Health Research Bulletin and aims to examine and shed light on health research in Tanzania.
This is one of a series of posts on the journal we will be featuring in the next few days. Vol.14 no.4 was posted on Bioline in March 2014. This issue includes "Anti-tuberculosis drug resistance pattern among pulmonary tuberculosis patients with or without HIV infection in Mwanza, Tanzania" by Range et al. This article examines the drug-resistance of Tuberculosis in new and relapsed TB cases. For the study, drug susceptibility was tested using sputum culture positive isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using four first-line TB drugs which consisted of rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and streptomycin. HIV status and demographic information among other information was collected. The results indicated that 7.8% of the isolates, resistance in new cases of TB to least one of the drugs was 7.3% and resistance in relapsed cases of TB was 12.5%. Resistance to just isoniazid was high in both new and relapsed cases, at 45.5% and 50%, respectively. Resistance to solely rifampicin and streptomycin only occurred in new cases of TB.
This issue also includes "How rational are indications for emergency caesarean section in a tertiary hospital in Tanzania?" by Mdgela et al. This article looks at the reasons and the basis for the increase in emergency caesarean sections at Muhimbili National Hospital in Tanzania, and if practices following decisions of caesarean sections are followed. The study was carried out through examination of 345 women's files who had an emergency caesarean section. Some indicators included repeat caesarean sections, which was experienced by 30.2% of women, obstructed labour (14.4%) and foetal distress (13.6%).

This issue includes "Survival predictors of preterm neonates: Hospital based study in Iran (2010-2011)" by Haghighi et al. This article assesses the factors for risk of neonatal mortality, as well as the factors affecting survival rate of pre-term infants in the Iranian population. 1612 pre-term infants born at 26-36 weeks at the Shahid Akbar-Abadi University Hospital from April 2010 to April 2011 were examined. Fetal-neonatal, maternal and pregnancy data was taken, and survival rates were analyzed. The results indicated that the total overall mortality rate for the infants was 9.1%. Infants at the lowest end of the birth weight spectrum had survival rates of 11.11%. The results indicated that birth weight under 1000mg dramatically influenced neonatal survival rate.
This issue also includes "Uterine cavity assessment in infertile women: Sensitivity and specificity of three-dimensional Hysterosonography versus Hysteroscopy" by Ahmadi et al. This article examines the effects of the use of three-dimensional hysterosonography (3-DHS) to diagnose uterine abnormalities in women with infertility. The study was conducted at the Royan Institute in Tehran, Iran between 2010 and 2011, examining women with infertility issues who were referred to 3-DHS before in-vitro fertilization. The study also included women who underwent both a hysteroscopy and 3-DHS. The results indicated that sensitivity and specificity for 3-DHS was 68.4% and 96.3%, respectively. It was concluded that 3-DHS, in comparison to the hysteroscopy, was reliable in diagnosing uterine abnormalities.

This is our third post on the Iranian Journal of Reproductive Medicine. We published two posts on the blog last week.
Today we are featuring no.11. This issue includes "Pregnancy rate after endometrial injury in couples with unexplained infertility: A randomized clinical trial" by Parsanezhad et al. This article examines how endometrial injury affects the pregnancy rate in couples who experience infertility. The study was conducted at the Shiraz University Infertility Clinic of Ghadir Hospital. 217 women between 23 to 35 years old with infertility were divided into two groups. One group underwent endometrial local injury, while the other did not. The results indicated that women who underwent endometrial local injury had a significantly higher pregnancy rate than women in the control group.
This issue also includes "Prevalence of immunity to toxoplasmosis among Iranian childbearing age women: Systematic review and meta-analysis" by Borna et al. This study aims to determine the immunity rates of women with toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease. The study was carried out by looking at previous studies conducted up to 2012 and articles were selected based on positive anti toxoplasma IgG antibody or anti toxoplasma antibody in childbearing women. 13480 participants were examined. The results indicated that overall estimated prevalence of anti toxoplasma using the IFTA serological method was 34.5%. Overall estimated prevalence of anti toxoplasma antibody was 39.9%. The study concluded that prenatal screenings could help determine which mothers could be susceptible to toxoplasmosis. These screenings can also help determine the primary prevention of toxoplasmosis in areas where risk factors such as eating habits and hygiene exist.

Featured Issue: Iranian Journal of Reproductive Medicine Vol.11 No.9
Today we are featuring the 9th issue of Iranian Journal of Reproductive Medicine vol.11. We will also be featuring no.10, 11 & 12 later this week.
No.9 includes "Does oral contraceptive pill increase the risk of abnormal Pap smear?" by Binesh et al. This article details a study done at Shahid Sadoughi Madar hospitals to identify if there is a correlation in women between taking an oral contraceptive pill (OCP) and having an abnormal Pap smear. 1286 women who took OCP were examined and compared with a group of 1218 women using other contraceptive methods. Age, parity and socioeconomic factors were matched in each group. All the women in the study had single partners, were non-smokers and were taking OCP for at least five years. The results indicated that there is no significant correlation between taking OCP and having an abnormal Pap smear.
This issue also includes "Perinatal outcomes of pregnancies with borderline versus normal amniotic fluid index" by Asgharnia et al. This article looks at the differences in pregnancy outcomes of normal versus borderline amniotic fluid index (AFI). 235 women with singleton pregnancies at the Alzahra Medical Center were examined between 2009 and 2011. 141 women were in the normal AFI group while 94 women were in the borderline AFI group. The groups were evaluated based on maternal and fetal complications. SPSS was used to analyze data. Risks such as pre-term delivery and labour induction were higher in the borderline AFI group than the normal AFI group.
Featured Issue: Biokemistri Vol.26 No.1
Today we will be featuring another issue from Biokemistri, vol.26 no.1. This issue includes "Hydrocarbon-degrading Capability of Bacteria isolated from a Maize-Planted, Kerosene-contaminated Ilorin Alfisol" by Adetitun et al., a study examining bacteria that could potentially be involved in the biodegrading or bioremediation of the environment, specifically petroleum-contaminated systems. The study took place in Nigeria, where 24 species of bacteria were extracted from Ilorin Alfisol treated with Kerosene. The results indicated that Kerosene spillage could pose a threat to the development and sustainability of Zea mays. The results also indicated that some bacteria live and even thrive in kerosene-contaminated soil.
This issue also includes "Processing method influences the effect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) consumption on blood lipid profile in rats" by Oyabambi et al. This article examines how different Cassava processing methods and formulations have an effect on the lipid profile of test rats. Four groups of ten rats were formed, with each group receiving a different type of feed. One group received Garri, another on Cassava flour, the third on tapioca, and the fourth on regular feed. The results indicated that Garri and Cassava flour feed significantly increased HDL-cholesterol concentration, but the group given Garri feed had a higher HDL-cholesterol concentration than the group given Cassava flour feed.

Featured Issue: Biokemistri Vol.25 No.1, 2, & 3
Today we are featuring Biokemistri vol.25. In this blog post we will be featuring articles from all three issues of this volume.
No.1 includes "Evaluation of selected trace metals in some hypertensive subjects in a tertiary health institution in Southwest Nigeria" by Onuegbu et al. This article aims to explore the role of trace metals in people with primary hypertension. The study looks at the aetiological roles of trace metals such as zinc, manganese, copper, and selenium in 45 patients with primary hypertension and 47 patients who had normal blood pressure or were pre-hypertensive. The patients were examined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) to determine the serum levels of the trace metals, and each patient had their weight, BMI, height, and blood pressure recorded. The results indicated that the group with hypertension had higher concentration levels of zinc. The results also indicated that levels of copper, manganese and selenium did not differ significantly between the group with hypertension and the group with normal blood pressure and pre-hypertension.
You can find other articles from this issue here.
No.2 includes an editorial by Dr Femi Olorunniji giving a general overview of all the articles for this issue. He also introduces several new board members and gives background info on each. This issue also includes "The effect of garlic and ginger phytogenics on the shelf life and microbial contents of homemade soursop (Annona muricata L) fruit juice" by Vwioko et al. This article looks at the effects that garlic and ginger have on the storage life of homemade soursop juice, a popular fruit and juice consumed in many countries around the world. In this study, a control group of soursop juice without treatment were stored, and test groups of soursop juice were separately treated with garlic, ginger and sodium benzoate. The untreated juices were found to have the highest levels of contamination among the groups, and the group treated with sodium benzoate was found to have the lowest levels of contamination. Among the microogranisms found in all the groups were Bacillus, Staphylococcus and Acetobacter. All the treated groups of soursop juice were found to have slightly lower pH levels than the untreated group. The study concluded that the treatments could increase storage lifespan and reduce the risk of infection when consuming the soursop juice.
Red wine has been reported in the media as having beneficial health properties. But there is more need for medical research to be done. No.3 includes "Use of atherogenic index of plasma in evaluating the potential cardioprotective effects of red wine consumption: Studies in Nigerian young adult volunteers" by Emokpae et al. assesses the factors predicting development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular occurences by examining, among other factors, atherogenic lipid of plasma, cardiac risk ratios, and atherogenic coefficient to test if red wine provides cardio protection in young adults. For the study, samples of blood were taken before giving the test subjects red wine. Blood samples were collected after the red wine, which was consumed within five minutes, was ingested for one hour. The results indicated that triglyceride levels increased in the subjects after they consumed red wine, but total cholesterol levels decreased.

Biokemistri has recently been updated on Bioline. Today we are featuring vol.24 no.3.
This issue includes "The influence of zinc and selenium on some biochemical responses of Vigna unguiculata and Zea mays to water deficit condition and rehydration" by Semiu O. & Gbenga A. This article examines how zinc and selenium affect the biochemical reactions of cowpea and maize seedlings when they are subjected to conditions of rehydration and water deficit. In this study, cowpea and maize seedlings were subjected to water dehydration for two weeks. They were then tested to find their water content. Seedlings that were treated with selenium were found to have higher relative water content. When all samples were tested, it was found that seedlings had increased levels of the biochemical parameters tested. The results also indicated that the effects of water deficit were greater in maize seedlings than cowpea seedlings. The study concludes that antioxidate chemicals, especially selenium, are recommended to use for farmers that experience short-term drought.
This issue also includes "The effect of grower feed diet supplemented with Ganoderma lucidum against some enteric zoonotic parasites of pigeons (Columba livia)" by Osemwegie et al. This article looks at the effect of grower feed diet with mashed Ganoderma lucidum, also known as the Lingzhi mushroom, on zoonotic parasites of pigeons (Columba livia) in Benin City, Nigeria. For this study, pigeons were fed in wooden cages with saw-dusted floors, and then examined after 14 days. The results indicated that out of pigeons given feed not supplemented with Ganoderma lucidum, 77% of pigeons had Cestodes, also known as tapeworms. Nematodes and trematodes were also found among this group. The group of pigeons given feed supplemented with Ganoderma lucidum were found to have low numbers of helminth parasites, and an overall decrease in weight. The study concluded that these pigeons had improved intestinal health among other findings. This information could be used when considering probiotics and supplements used in poultry farming.

"I think I beat Petr, T.J., Cory" - Sean O'Malley minces no words displaying confidence in his abilities
UFC 260: O'Malley v Almeida; 'Sugar' returns to the win column against the Brazilian.
Modified 01 Sep 2021
Rising UFC prospect Sean O'Malley recently made an appearance on internet celebrity Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast.
'Sugar' touched upon many things, including his always-changing hair color, the fight with Kris Moutinho and his face tattoos.
A post shared by Sugar Sean O'Malley (@sugaseanmma)
At one point during the podcast, the 26-year-old said he believes he can beat elite fighters in the UFC's 135-pound division like T.J. Dillashaw, Cory Sandhagen and Petr Yan.
"I think I beat Petr [Yan], I think I beat T.J. [Dillashaw], I think I beat Cory [Sandhagen], I think I beat all these guys. My skillset is there, I'm there. I'm 26 too, I'm getting better, not in the last couple of months though, but I'm on a f*****g rocketship," said Sean O'Malley.
The 26-year-old went on to reveal that he was offered a fight with UFC veteran Frankie Edgar. However, the fight did not come to fruition.
"They offered me Frankie Edgar, which would have been a f*****g sweet fight, in New York on a day that Tim [Welch] has a huge grappling tournament and he had a tournament before I had a fight, that's his date. I didn't wanna fight in New York anyway. So, I could be fighting Frankie Edgar but I'm not."
Catch Sean O'Malley's appearance on the IMPAULSIVE podcast below:
Sean O'Malley believes his grappling skills are underrated
Sean O'Malley believes people wrongly underestimate his grappling skills. 'Sugar' said he's competed in grappling contests against high-level opponents like Gilbert Melendez.
"Believe it or not, I know how to grapple, people think I don't. I don't know if you know who Takanori Gomi is, choked him...I grappled with Gilbert Melendez for eight minutes, way bigger than me...a great black belt, went to a draw. I know how to grapple too."
Sean O'Malley was last in action in July when he took on UFC debutant Kris Moutinho at UFC 264. 'Sugar' dominated the fight and ended up winning via TKO.

Q: JavaScript assign function within variable to click event within plugin I have got a plugin where I assign click event functions based on a string. However I don't think I can use Window['variable name'] as the variable is within my plugin scope not the window scope.
How would I go about assigning the EventLeft/EventRight/EventClose variable anonymous functions to the click event of the querySelectorAll loop?
(function() {

  // Constructor
  this.MarvLightbox = function() {

    // Initialise plugin
    this.open();
  };

  MarvLightbox.prototype.open = function() {

    setupLightbox.call(this);
  };

  function setupLightbox() {

    var createExpand = function(img) {

          // Generate lightbox HTML and append
          var instance = this,
              html = buildHTML(instance.options.html),
              EventClose = function() {
                // Do stuff
              },
              EventLeft = function() {
                // Do stuff
              },
              EventRight = function() {
                // Do stuff
              };

          // Lightbox is active
          instance.active = true;

          // Assign click events
          html.getElementsByClassName('image')[0].src = img;

          html.querySelectorAll('[data-click]').forEach(function(e) {
            e.addEventListener('click', function() { instance[this.dataset.click]; });
          });

    }.bind(this);

  }

});

A: While you own answer will work it is not really readable and therefore not easy to maintain.
Store your functions in an object and use the key to access it.
var events = {
  EventClose: function() {
    instance.active = false;
    item.current = null;
  },
  EventLeft: function() {
    if (item.current !== 0) {
      item.current = item.current - 1;
    } else {
      item.current = instance.images_count;
    }
  },
  EventRight: function() {
    if (item.current !== instance.images_count) {
      item.current = item.current + 1;
    } else {
      item.current = 0;
    }
  }
}

html.querySelectorAll('[data-click]').forEach(function(e) {
  e.addEventListener('click', events[e.dataset.click]);
})

A: Not too sure why the question is so confusing. Managed to find a solution:
events = function(fnstring) {
  switch(fnstring) {
      case 'EventClose': (function() {
        instance.active = false;
        item.current = null;
      }()); break;
      case 'EventLeft': (function() {
        if (item.current !== 0) {
          item.current = item.current - 1;
        } else {
          item.current = instance.images_count;
        }
      }()); break;
      case 'EventRight': (function() {
        if (item.current !== instance.images_count) {
          item.current = item.current + 1;
        } else {
          item.current = 0;
        }
      }()); break;
    }
};

html.querySelectorAll('[data-click]').forEach(function(e) {
  e.addEventListener('click', function() { events(e.dataset.click); });
});

Q: How can I convert an OData QueryNode to a LINQ expression? This is what I want to achieve:

*

*Get a filter expression from ODataQueryOptions.Filter.FilterClause.Expression

*Use a visitor to copy and adjust the filter expression

*Use something similar to ODataQueryOptions.ApplyTo(IQueryable query) to apply the modified filter expression to an IQueryable.

Is there maybe some helper in any of the Microsoft OData libraries to do this?

A: You can refer to code in FilterBinder.
