ARTICLES AND SPEECHES
THE MENTORSHIP GROUP
Practice Ethics and Mentorship speech to TLS, Dar es Salam, September 2006
Speech to the Tanganyika Law Society on Mentorship on 4 September 2006 in Dar es Salam
Jay Chauhan is a deputy Judge for 15 years and a lawyer in Ontario, Canada for 35 years. Following is the summary of the speech to the Tanganyika Law Society on the 4th September, 2006 in Dar es Salaam attended by the directors of the Law Society and a senior judge.
National Heros
Mwalimu Julius Nyeyere was a remarkable mentor for Tanzania. Nelson Mandela was a mentor for South Africa. Mahatama Gandhi was a mentor for India. These leaders not only lead but also are role models for the societies they serve.
Mentors in Family
Like countries there are role models in families. My parents, both whom were mwalimus and teachers, in Dar es Salaam and our role models. As teachers they inspired us to be educated and move forward in our lives. Ramesh, my older brother became a surgeon with degreees from England, Canada and US, and my younger brother, Ashwin got his Ph.D. in University of Wales, and became an Engineer. My sister Nalini completed her B.A. degree in Economics in India. I did both law and Economics in England and Germany and Canada. I became a Deputy Judge in the last 15 years in Canada.
Mentors in Law
Role models show examples of what can be done. Mentors as role models actively work with mentees to inspire them and help others achieve their best potential in their professional activity. Law profession is particularly suited to this type of a mentorship arrangement where they meet each other at least once a week and help the mentee to understand what the path to achievement is and where the mentee is at any given time and how to move forward.
Mentorship from Books
Mentorship plays an important part in helping an aspiring professional reach one's goals and also excelling in it. In the legal profession traditions and customs are better passed on by role models than text books. The ethics and the nuances of relationship are better understood in personal meetings than reading about it.
English Barrister's Tradition
England has a formalized this mentorship in the Inns of Court where the barrister learn their trade. The four Inns of Court in England have formal dinner meetings which are attended by the Benchers, lawyers and the students. As a Barrister of Lincoln's Inn, England, I have watched and enjoyed the centuries old tradition of having meetings together with senior members of the Bar who share meals and stories over dinners. Lawyers tell stories of the courts and judges and difficult clients and collection of fees. The dinners and stories create bonds within the group which are difficult to replicate in
other ways. Senior lawyers who have achieved prominence share their secrets of success and inspire the younger bar and show the way to excel in the career of law.
Learning the Customs
The bonding between the junior members and the senior members not only permits the parties to share valuable experiences but also enables them to pass on the best social and ethical traditions of the profession to the new generation of lawyers. The court room manners are learnt from experienced members or mentors; how do you address the judge and the opposing counsel? When do you stand up? How do you dress?
Ontario, Canada Traditions
In Ontario, and Canada where I practice the society has become very multicultural and lawyers and citizen share many different customs and cultures. In that atmosphere, mentorship becomes more relevant in explaining and passing on the traditions of the profession. Through mentorship new members of the profession as well as those aspiring to become members can learn the traditions of the legal profession and gain valuable knowledge of the way the profession works. This is knowledge is not easily found in the text books of law and books cannot inspire others as individuals can.
Ontario Law Society
Law Society of Upper Canada of Ontario started the mentorship programme in the last about 10 years. It is relatively new. The profession in Ontario was started by 6 Barristers from England in about 1896. The new mentorship programme is still being developed and not fully embraced by the profession. The profession is not as old as it is in England.
Legal Training, Ontario
Ontario provides one of the longest training for law in the world and is considered to be one of the best. However, it takes a very long time, usually about 8 and a half years to study and qualify as a lawyer in Ontario, Canada. You need a first degree to get into the law programme; then LSAT to qualify in the law programme and then the law degree of 3 years and finally the bar admission course which includes the articling period where you work under a principal to train in the practical aspects of the law profession. Going through this programme is like running a marathon. A mentor in such a long programme can help and guide you through the difficult decisions that a student must make in his career at different stages. He works like a coach and can help choose and which areas to specialize and what subjects to study.
Support in Early years of practice
A mentor can also help in the initial years of practice and help the new member choose the right specialty and show the way to finding clients and introduce the new lawyer to the community and help make many decisions in the first few years of practice. For senior members it is second nature, but for the new persons in the profession it takes effort to learn the ropes. A mentor can help you find a sense of direction and overcome some of the hurdles that one faces when you have no one to turn to.
Support in the middle years of practice
Mentorship does not end with early years of practice. If you want to be a judge there is not much literature available to tell you how to become a judge. The forms are easy to find, but it is the contacts that you need. The types of questions to address are "Should you get to know your M.P.? How do you get to know him? Should you get involved in politics? "A mentor can help understand the intricacies of moving forward in the profession and make right connections to help you move forward.
Sharing moments together
Mentor and mentee relationship does not need to be all work and no play. Developing a good relationship between mentor and mentee can be done in congenial environment; over dinner meetings, coffee or by sharing a common interest. A mentor can be particularly helpful showing the mentee how to balance a difficult and demanding career with fun and enjoyment without compromising one's career.
In the legal profession one makes many decisions which borders on ethics. These ethical principles are best learnt through role models who show to you how to achieve the best in your career without ever compromising the ethical principals. Legal profession as a whole is steeped in tradition but still continues to evolve new ethos and conduct more suited to contemporary society and these changes are better accomplished through mentorship in addition to the process of discipline and sanctions.
Will to achieve
To achieve the best in your profession you need persistence and tenacity, both for the mentor and mentee. For this we have a saying in Swahili "Penye niya, pana njiya", where there is a will we can find the way to achieve difficult goals in the legal care
Future contacts
Today with the use of messengers and emails it is possible to have mentors even outside of your jurisdictions. You may face ethical and difficult decisions in dealing with your local institutions and mentors outside your jurisdiction can be helpful. If your bar in Tanzania wishes to have seminars with our bar associations in Canada I will be very pleased to help arrange that.

The natural step after getting a PushSubscription and saving it our server is to trigger a push message, but there is one thing I flagrantly glossed over. The user experience when asking for permission from the user to send them push messages.
Sadly, very few sites give much consideration to how they ask their user for permission, so let's take a brief aside to look at both good and bad UX.
There have been a few common patterns emerging that should guide and help you when deciding what is best for your users and use case.
Ask users to subscribe to push at a time when the benefit is obvious.
For example, a user has just bought an item on an online store and finished the checkout flow. The site can then offer updates on the delivery status.
There are a range of situations where this approach works: - A particular item is out of stock, would you like to be notified when it's next available? - This breaking news story will be regularly updated, would you like to be notified as the story develops? - You're the highest bidder, would you like to be notified if you are outbid?
These are all points where the user has invested in your service and there is a clear value proposition for them to enable push notifications.
Owen Campbell-Moore created a mock of a hypothetical airline website to demonstrate this approach.
After the user has booked a flight it asks if the user would like notifications of flight delays.
Note that this is a custom UI from the website.
Another nice touch to Owen's demo is that if the user clicks to enable notifications, the site adds a semi-transparent overlay on the entire page when it shows the permission prompt. This draws the users attention to the permission prompt.
The alternative to this example, the bad UX for asking permission, is to request permission as soon as a user lands on the airline's site.
This approach provides no context as to why notifications are needed or useful to the user. The user is also blocked from achieving their original task (i.e. book a flight) by this permission prompt.
You may feel that your site has a clear use case for push messaging and as a result want to ask the user for permission as soon as possible.
For example instant messaging and email clients. Showing a message for a new message or email is an established user experience across a range of platforms.
For these category of apps, it's worth considering the double permission pattern.
First show a fake permission prompt that your website controls, consisting of buttons to allow or ignore the permission request. If the user clicks allow, request permission, triggering the real browser permission prompt.
With this approach you display a custom permission prompt in your web app which asks the user to enable notifications. By doing this the user can chose enable or disable without your website running the risk of being permanently blocked. If the user selects enable on the custom UI, display the actual permission prompt, otherwise hide your custom pop-up and ask some other time.
A good example of this is Slack. They show a prompt at the top of their page once you've signed in asking if you'd like to enable notifications.
You can move notifications into a settings panel, giving users an easy way to enable and disable push messaging, without the need of cluttering your web app's UI.
A good example of this is Google I/O's 2016 site. When you first load up the Google I/O site, you aren't asked to do anything, the user is left to explore the site.
After a few visits, clicking the menu item on the right reveals a settings panel allowing the user to set up and manage notifications.
Clicking on the checkbox displays the permission prompt. No hidden surprises.
After the permission has been granted the checkbox is checked and the user is good to go. The great thing about this UI is that users can enable and disable notifications from one location on the website.
One of the easiest ways to offer push to a user is to have a button or toggle switch that enables / disables push messages in a location on the page that is consistent throughout a site.
This doesn't drive users to enable push notifications, but offers a reliable and easy way for users to opt in and out of engaging with your website. For sites like blogs that might have some regular viewers as well as high bounce rates, this is a solid option as it targets regular viewers without annoying drive-by visitors.
On my personal site I have a toggle switch for push messaging in the footer.
It's fairly out of the way, but for regular visitors it should get enough attention from readers wanting to get updates. One-time visitors are completely unaffected.
If the user subscribes to push messaging, the state of the toggle switch changes and maintains state throughout the site.
Those are some of the common practices I've noticed on the web. Sadly, there is one very common bad practice.
The worst thing you can do is instantly show the permission dialog to users as soon as they land on your site.
They have zero context on why they are being asked for a permission, they may not even know what your website is for, what it does or what it offers. Blocking permissions at this point out of frustration is not uncommon, this pop-up is getting in the way of what they are trying to do.
Remember, if the user blocks the permission request, your web app can't ask for permission again. To get permission after being blocked the user has to change the permission in the browsers UI and doing so is not easy, obvious or fun for the user.
No matter what, don't ask for permission as soon as the user opens your site, consider some other UI or approach that has an incentive for the user to grant permission.
In addition to considering the UX to subscribe a user to push, please consider how a user should unsubscribe or opt out of push messaging.
The number of sites that ask for permission as soon as the page load and then offers no UI for disabling push notifications is astounding.
Your site should explain to your users how they can disable push. If you don't, users are likely to take the nuclear option and block permission permanently.


DLL Talk / Could not find function 'Function Name' in Dbprocore.dll.
That's the error i'm getting when trying to use my simple dll in Dbpro. Since this is a test dll most of the code is copied from these forums.
// If already have the core pointer, return it.
// ... and return it.
The header file Head.h was a last second try to get it working so it may not be needed. Please take the time to reply, thanks!
Lol, 5 minutes after I finaly post I figure it out. my problem was that I didn't completely copy the function name from the dll for the resource file. For referance when you go to copy the function name from the dll copy everything surrounding the name on both sides until you reach a space.
DBPro, limited by the programmer.
Ok, so now I'm trying to do what I've been trying to do the whole time.
This function crashes my program when I call it. Any ideas about what could be causing it?
Your 'populate the new string' is incorrect. Your sprintf should have %s in the string, but I'd suggest you simply replace the line with strcpy.
Your earlier sprintf is also incorrect in pretty much the same way.
That didn't seem to fix my problem. Here's the new cpp file.
Hmm... for some reason the edit post is acting wierd. I figured out that the problem is with strcat I just don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?
Where are you allocating the storage for this variable?
Also, you can't append an extra null byte to a char* with strcat - you'll need to build that kind of string manually.


A raid on an Islamic State cell in southeastern Turkey left two Turkish police officers and seven militants dead Monday, as authorities pressed their effort to combat the extremists based across the border in Syria.
The firefight occurred as police raided multiple houses Monday in the mainly Kurdish city of Diyarbakir. Security officials said five police officers were wounded and 12 militants were captured.
Turkish authorities have blamed the Islamic State group for a double suicide bombing in Turkey's capital, Ankara, earlier this month that killed more than 100 people.
One witness to the clash Monday told VOA's Turkish service that the fighting began in the middle of the night.
"Smoke was coming from this locations behind me," the witness said. "Allahu-akbar sounds coming from the flats the police raided, I don't know who they were but I guess they were ISIS militants. When we went over there to look afterwards, there was a body lying on the ground, covered with newspapers. Everywhere was riddled with bullet holes."
Turkey is hosting about half of the 4 million Syrian refugees who have registered with the United Nations after fleeing Syria. The number of Syrians in Turkey has more than doubled since this time last year, adding to the strain the Syrian conflict has placed on the country's neighbors.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday reiterated his focus on eliminating the threat of terrorists in Syria, saying that would lead to the political solution people in his country want to end the crisis that began there in March 2011.
Russia, supporting the Syrian government with an air campaign against rebels opposed to Assad, said Monday that in the past day its forces launched 59 strikes on 94 targets in Hama, Idlib, Latakia, Damascus, Aleppo and Deir al-Zor provinces.
Assad met Sunday with a group of Russian lawmakers and other officials in Damascus, and the state-run SANA news agency said the president stressed that taking out terrorist groups would preserve Syria's sovereignty and its territorial integrity.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Sunday that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov discussed in a phone call the "prospects" for an internationally-backed political settlement in Syria that would involve Syrian authorities and "patriotic opposition."
Since then, Islamic State militants seized large areas in eastern Syria, including the group's de facto capital in Raqqa. About 30 percent of the more than 240,000 people who have been killed in the Syrian conflict have died since the vote, while the United Nations registered another 1.3 million refugees who fled the country.

A: If you are using 2005 and I guess you do, you should be aware of a bug in the DefaultPageController. It is responsible to render each content page. However it does not dispatch any more in the standard accelerator. (Sadly I have not the related ticket ready in hand (I am on vacation :D. If you search for "DefaultPageController" in answers.sap.com, you should find the ticket.)
Add @RequestMapping("/**) to the DefaultPageController and see if it works then.
SAP is also fixing the issue with AspectJ. Dont know if it is already in 2005.3

I'm trying to build a csv file with JSreport and I would like to know if it's possible to stay on the same line when looping instead of going to the next line. I have an object containing my header fields name so that's the reason why.
If there is no way of doing it, I'll modify my answer when receving it from the server in my script file but it would be easier doing it on the templating side like I'm doing with my html to Excel file (html table).
if you still have problems it will be better if you can provide some basic example of your template + data here so we can help you more.


I've got absolutely no script in my mind, I'm just going to ramble on and hope I get to the coe of what this football club's meant to be.
First of all, its a thank you to Manchester United. Not just the directors, not just the medical staff, not just the coaching staff, the players or the supporters, its all of you.
You have been the most fantastic experience in my life.
I have been very fortunate to manage some of the greatest players in the country, let alone Manchester United. All these players here today have represented your club the proper way.
They've won the championship in a fantastic fashion. Well done to the players.
My retirement doesn't mean the end of my relationship with the club, I'm able to now enjoy watching them rather than suffering with them. If you think about it, those last-minute goals, the comebacks, even the defeats, are all part of this great football club of ours. Its been unbelievable, thank you for that.
I'd also like to remind you that when we had bad times here, the club stood by me, all my staff stood by me, the players stood by me and your job now is to stand by our new manager.
Before I start blubbering, I just want to pay tribute to Paul Scholes. He's unbelievable, one of the greatest players this club has ever had and will ever have.
Paul, we wish you a good retirement and I know you'll be around to annoy me! Also I'd just like you to join me in wishing Darren Fletcher a speedy recovery.
The players… I wish the players every success in the future. You know how good you are. You know the jersey you're wearing, you know what it means to everyone here and don't ever let yourself down. The expectation is always there. I'm going home, well, I'm going inside for a while, and I want to say thank you again from all the Ferguson family. Thank you.

Egypt to penalise fathers of child brides
December 2, 2020 at 4:24 pm | Published in: Africa, Egypt, News
Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly in Pretoria, South Africa, on 25 May 2019 [MICHELE SPATARI/AFP via Getty Images]
Egypt's Cabinet is planning to issue a new law imposing more penalties for the marriage of underage girls and child labour, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said during a Cabinet meeting on the national strategic population plan.
The new law is set to toughen the penalties and broaden the scope of those penalised for child marriage to include the child bride's father or guardian.
The law will also penalise the fathers or guardians of working children.
Egypt has the thirteenth highest number of child brides in the world. According to Girls Not Brides, child marriage is in part driven by gender inequality. In 2017 UNICEF said that 17 per cent of girls in Egypt are married before their 18th birthday.
Despite the fact that Egypt has ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which stipulates 18 should be the legal age for marriage, and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, which says marriage should be undertaken with free and full consent, child marriage continues.
Rights groups have said that Egypt needs to be tougher on criminalising child marriage. Often, neither the groom nor the parents of the child bride are charged, which has led to an increase in the practice.

It has been reported that men from the Gulf have come to Egypt to choose child brides, sometimes just for a day, in what has become known as "summer marriages".
The men pay the child bride's family a large amount of money.
In 2013 Egypt's Child Anti-Trafficking Unit said that several women had been married 60 times before they turned 18.
Conservative clerics have said that minors should get married to avoid sexual promiscuity and to avoid the stigma that supposedly comes with women marrying late.
Often the phenomenon occurs in low-income, uneducated families.

Auburn gymnast Suni Lee, the reigning Olympic all-around gold medalist, has signed on for a partnership with CLIF Bars to help promote VOICEINSPORT Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to advocate for girls and women in sports through research, education and advocacy, helping advance gender equity in sports in the process.

According to a release from CLIF Bars announcing the partnership, the impact of the deal includes 20 new VOICEINSPORT chapters being opened in college around the country, 20 Title IX training sessions both virtually and in person and 4,000 women in sports receiving Title IX training sponsored by CLIF.
According to On3′s NIL valuation database, Lee has a valuation of $1.5 million, making her among the top-10 most valuable college athletes when it comes to Name, Image and Likeness. Among her other deals since winning the all-around gold medal: Gatorade, Target and Amazon. The St. Paul, Minn., native has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the NIL era, which allowed her to compete at Auburn after he three-medal showcase at last summer's Olympics. In the past, it would have been incredibly unlikely for her to compete at the college level after winning an Olympic gold medal, as she would not have been able to profit off her international success and all the opportunities that come with it.
Lee followed up her Olympic success with a stint on Dancing With the Stars before arriving on campus at Auburn. As a freshman last season, she won an NCAA title on beam and was the runner-up for the individual all-around title. She also earned four All-America honors, including three first-team accolades on beam, floor and all-around.
She announced in the summer plans to return for her sophomore season, with her sights set on competing again in the 2024 summer Olympics in Paris.

Филипа Арменска (* 1183; † ок. 1219) е арменска принцеса и никейска императрица – втора съпруга на никейския император Теодор I Ласкарис.

Биография
Тя е дъщеря на цар Рубен III Арменски и съпругата му Изабела. Има една по-голяма сестра – Алиса Арменска, която по-късно е омъжена за Раймон IV Триполитански.

Бащата на Филипа умира през 1185 г., а на престола в Киликия се възкачва брат му Левон III, който официално бил регент и покровител на племенничките си, но успял да ги отстрани и да предаде властта на своите наследници.

Според хрониката на Съмбат Спарапет на 3 февруари 1189/1190 г. Филипа е сгодена за Шаханшах от Сасун, син на Чордуанел I – независим владетел на Сасун. По същото време сестра ѝ Алис е сгодена за Хатум, по-голям брат на Шахиншах. Вероятно това е опит на Левон III да си осигури влияние в тази важна за Арменска Киликия област. Браковете на двете сестри са сключени официално между датата на годежа им и май 1193 г., когато синовете на Чордуанел I били убити, а за Филипа и Алиса Съмбат Спарапет говори като за техни вдовици. Арменският хронист споменава и за мълвата, че пръст в смъртта на двамата братя имал самият Левон III. Тъй като по това време Алиса и Филипа са съответно на единадесет и на десет години, техните бракове вероятно останали неконсумирани.

На 31 януари 1198/1199 г. Филипа е сгодена за Ошин от Ламброн. По неизвестни причини бракът им не бил сключен. На 24 ноември 1214 Филипа е омъжена за никейския император Теодор I Ласкарис. За този брак съобщава и хрониката на Георги Акрополит. От този брак се ражда един си – Константин Ласкарис. През 1216 г. обаче бракът на императора и Филипа е разтрогнат по религиозни причини, а синът им е лишен от престолонаследство. След това Филипа е върната на чичо си.

The 2016 Le Petit Haut Lafitte has a lovely bouquet of brambly black fruit, cedar and touches of black olive that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and tight on the entry, displaying succulent, ripe tannin and firm grip. There is a light earthiness to this Le Petit Haut Lafitte, and the Cabernet Sauvignon is very expressive on the tobacco-tinged finish. Excellent.
The 2016 Le Petit Haut Lafitte is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot matured in 20% new oak. It has a well-defined bouquet with mulberry, cranberry, pressed flowers and a touch of undergrowth; it is neatly defined though not powerful, but it does demonstrare commendable precision. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp and firm tannin, quite tensile and energetic (more so than the Les Hauts de Smith) with impressive structure and length on the almost Pauillac-like, graphite infused finish. Do not ignore this little gem from Château Smith Haut-Lafitte, because it always punches above its weight.
The 2016 Le Petit Haut Lafitte is a fabulous second wine from Smith Haut Lafitte. Inky blue/purplish berry fruit, lavender, menthol, licorice and cloves give the Petit Haut Lafitte its striking aromatic complexity. Deep, resonant and exquisitely layered, the 2016 is a real joy to taste. I would cellar it for another year or two. The 2016 has enough depth and pedigree to develop beautifully for the next 10-15 years.
Cabernet Sauvignon takes center stage in the 2016 Le Petit Haut Lafitte. Graphite, menthol, pine, lavender and crushed rocks give notable brightness and energy, while firm, slightly nervous tannins extend the finish nicely. Savory and delineated, the 2016 will benefit from a year or two of cellaring. Even today, though, it is absolutely gorgeous.
Very dark and lustrous purple. What a lovely texture! Maybe not the densest fruit but reasonably fresh fruit. Delicate hand on the hand brake. Not too much. Just lovely juice. I wonder whether the move to organic is responsible for this delightful wine? Pure pleasure almost already.
Generous, with warm plum and blueberry notes, backed by a rounded, toasted finish. A light ganache hint emerges at the end. Flattering in feel.

A growing body of research could explain why crime rates spiked in the 1980s and 1990s and then dramatically dropped in the 2000s.
A new study links leaded gasoline to violent crime rates in six cities.
High lead levels have long been known to cause birth defects, lower intelligence and hearing problems - but now researchers are beginning to find that it also causes high levels of aggression.
Tulane University toxicologist Howard W. Mielke says high levels of lead exposure in children in the 1960s and 1970s resulted in a dramatic uptick in crime two decades later.
When the use of leaded gasoline declined in the 1980s, crime rates dropped off at corresponding rates.
Mielke found that in all six cities - Atlanta, Chicago, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and San Diego - every one percent increase in the number of tons of lead released into the atmosphere resulted in a half percentage point increase in the aggravated assault rate 22 years later.
Each metric ton of lead released into the atmosphere, Mielke calculated, resulted in an increase of 1.59 aggravated assaults per 100,000.
The results were millions more shootings, stabbings and beatings, the professor says.
The data was able to explain 90 percent of the rise and fall of crime rates in the cities studied.
The link between lead and violence is relative new, as well.
Dr Herbert Needleman, a University of Pittsburgh researcher, conducted a 1996 study that showed that children with high lead levels were much more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior than those with normal levels.
A 2002 study showed that youths had been arrested had far higher levels of lead in their bones, on average, than their non-delinquent peers.
Mother Jones writer Kevin Drum reports that the leaded gasoline theory is the only explanation for the dramatic rise and fall of violent crime across the country.
Rudy Giuliani is credited with lowering crime rates in New York thanks to aggressive policing and revolutionary tactics.
Crime rates in the city dropped 75percent between the 1990s and 2010.
But, Drum points out, it dropped by similar rates all over the nation - 70 percent in Dallas, 74 percent in Newark, 79 percent in Los Angeles.
All of those cities stepped up enforcement, but never had 'revolutionary' leaders to combat crime, Drum says.
The study, published in August in the journal Environmental International, is one of several pieces of research dating back to 2000 that ties leaded gasoline to crime.
General Motors developed a lead additive for gasoline to prevent engine knock in the 1920s. The most popular additive was tetraethyllead, which soon became nearly universal.
By the 1970s, cars were being made with catalytic converters, which were incompatible with leaded gasoline.
The government also began taxing the fuel more heavily over pressure from environmental advocates, who cited growing research that showed the additive was a neurotoxin tied to birth defects.
Leaded gas was quickly phased out by the 1980s. It was banned for use in vehicles on U.S. roadways in 1996.
It is still in use - but only in race cars, piston-powered airplanes and some off-road vehicles.


text: Q: Python speech recognition with Pyaudio and tensorflow so im trying to create speech recognition system to process live data feed to the microphone. Im using pyaudio to get stream from the mic but i dont know how i can feed the data to tensorflow. At the moment my tensorflow recognizes my speech from .wav files. But i need to make it so it can process the audio in real-time from my microphone. So whats the best way to make this happen? I have tried to make it so it records 1 seconds clips saves them as .wav and analyzes them but i dont think thats the best way to do this and it sometimes cuts out half of the word im saying. So is it possible to maybe make it so it records direct stream to my mic and analyzes it straight away or saves all sounds above certain decibel level to list and analyze them. If someone knows the best way or how the professional speech recognition systems are made please help.


I walked out to the baseball field one of my first days in high school and found the varsity baseball coach Bob Ramirez and told him, I was a baseball player and would someday play for the California Angels. Pretty confident wasn't I ? Well I went through 4 years of high school, 4 years of college, on a baseball scholarship and got drafted by the San Francisco Giants and played 2 years of pro ball. So it wasn't quite the Angels but I still made it as a pro. The point, dream big and never give up on your dreams, you are never too old to do something you've always wanted to do.

Karin was a PhD student in the research group Biomaterials Science and Technology. Her supervisors were Gerrit Storm and Jai Prakash from the Faculty of Science and Technology.
Breast cancer is a disease which affects 1 in 7 women during their lifetime. With 464.000 new cases and 131.000 deaths, it is the most occurring cancer type and leading cause of cancer related deaths in women in Europe [1]. As the overall age of the population is predicted to increase, these numbers will rise as well. Cytotoxic agents, hormone treatment, radiation and small molecule inhibitors are the current therapies used in the treatment of breast cancer [2]. Although these therapies work well towards the primary tumor, they do not affect the surrounding stromal cells. Tumor growth and survival depend greatly on the support of the tumor micro-environment (TME), where stromal cells promote neo-angiogenesis, matrix remodeling and cause suppression of the adaptive immune system [3, 4]. Macrophages play a major role in these processes. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), present in the TME, have been shown to play a crucial role in tumor growth and progression [5]. Therefore, effective treatment of TAM might prove to be a successful treatment strategy in breast cancer therapy. This thesis project aimed to develop a novel nanoparticle-based strategy to target TAM and inhibit their tumor growth promoting activities. A novel drug candidate was identified for such inhibition, and incorporated into a newly designed nanoparticle delivery system, which is able to selectively deliver TAM-modulating drugs to TAM.
In Chapter 2, the role of TAM in tumor development is discussed in detail. Different strategies for the modulation of TAM are discussed:
Inhibiting macrophage recruitment
Reprogramming TAM towards a more anti-tumoral phenotype
Initiation of immune response
Blocking the tumor-promoting functions of TAM
Depletion of TAM
Often, drug candidates include cytotoxic agents, aimed at the depletion of macrophages. As these therapies are aimed to specifically remove pro-tumoral macrophages, other macrophage populations, which display anti-tumor properties, or perform other critical functions, should not be affected. In order to achieve this, this literature update confirms that TAM-targeted nanoparticles selectively delivering TAM-modulating drugs are an attractive option.
In Chapter 3, the functional and biological differences in phagocytosis displayed by M1 and M2 macrophages were investigated. Here, the innate ability of M1 and M2 macrophages to phagocytose different sizes of particles (silica, 50 – 1000 nm), under different conditions was studied. Serum proteins were found to greatly affect the uptake of nanoparticles by M2 macrophages, especially in the larger size range (200 – 1000 nm). Moreover, using gene expression analysis, distinct differences in expression of phagocytosis-related genes between M1 and M2 cells were found, where M2 cells displayed several receptors associated with the recognition of proteins present in the protein corona (Figure 1). From this study, we proposed that M2 macrophages showed higher uptake of silica nanoparticles due to increased expression of phagocytic receptors against protein corona ligands. The knowledge acquired about differential expression of phagocytic receptors expressed by M1 and M2 macrophages was used for the development of M2-targeted delivery system to target TAMs in the next chapter.
In Chapter 4, we found that amongst the upregulated receptors identified in chapter 3 (Figure 1), cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), scavenger receptor class B1 (Scarb1) and collectin subfamily member 12 (Colec12) are involved in the recognition of oxidized lipids [6-8]. We explored the possibility of targeting these receptors by using the natural ligands to these receptors, namely carboxylated phosphatidylcholines (CyPC) and incorporated these into liposomes. In vitro, significantly more uptake of CyPC-containing liposomes by M2 macrophages, as compared to M1 macrophages was observed with human THP-1 cells and murine bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM). In vivo, enhanced tumor and decreased liver and spleen accumulation were found. Analysis of tumor tissues revealed co-localization of liposomes with the M2 macrophage marker CD206. Analysis of the uptake mechanism revealed that Scarb1 and Colec12 were mainly responsible for the M2-specific uptake of CyPC-containing liposomes. In conclusion, CyPC-containing liposomes showed superior M2-macrophage uptake, increased tumor but decreased liver and spleen accumulation. This research suggests that these M2-targeted nanoparticles may serve as an effective nanoparticle delivery system for the specific delivery of drugs to TAM, given their M2 phenotype.
In Chapter 5, we investigated a novel drug for the treatment of TAM. Since TAM (or M2 macrophages) but not other macrophage populations show pro-tumoral effects, we aimed to target a pathway which is specifically upregulated in M2-macrophages. We identified such a pathway by exploring the mechanism of M2 differentiation. After binding of IL-4 and IL-13 (two major cytokines for M2 differentiation) to their common receptor, the signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (Stat6) becomes activated and regulates the gene transcription of M2-associated genes [9-12]. We investigated the role of Stat6 in macrophage polarization. Stat6 was highly activated in M2 macrophages, while silencing of the Stat6 gene led to inhibition of M2-macrophage polarization. Using the selective Stat6 inhibitor AS1517499, Stat6 activation and subsequently M2 macrophage differentiation was inhibited pharmacologically. When using this inhibitor in vivo, a significant reduction in tumor growth was found. Moreover, less liver metastasis was observed. Upon investigation of the mechanism of action, it was shown that treatment with AS1517499 led to a reduction in genes related to metastatic niche formation. From this study, we conclude that the Stat6 pathway plays an important role in M2-macrophage differentiation. Moreover, we were able to successfully inhibit this pathway, without affecting M1 macrophage populations. In vivo, this drug showed promising potential to reduce tumor growth and metastasis. These data reveal that inhibition of the Stat6 pathways is a promising way to inhibit TAM-driven tumorigenesis and metastasis.
In Chapter 6, we combined the knowledge we obtained from the previous chapters, in which we developed CyPC-containing liposomes for M2 specific targeting of AS1517499, the selective M2 inhibitor. We encapsulated AS1517499 into CyPC-containing liposomes and tested the uptake in M2 macrophages in vitro. AS1517499-loaded CyPC-containing liposomes inhibited M2 differentiation successfully. However, drug loading and particle stability still need to be improved. Moreover, the effects of this nanoparticle delivery system need to be confirmed in vivo. Nevertheless, in this chapter we have taken the first steps towards targeting and inhibiting TAM using a novel nanoparticle drug delivery system.
In conclusion, this thesis has explored the design and development of a novel M2 macrophage targeting system to deliver therapeutic agents to TAM for the treatment of breast cancer. This research gives a better understanding of the interaction between macrophages and nanoparticles, the therapeutic role of the Stat6 pathway in modulating M2 macrophages, and we propose a novel liposome-based TAM-delivery system. Our data suggest that the targeted delivery of a Stat6 inhibitor represents a promising approach in the fight against breast cancer. Altogether, the research from this thesis opens up new opportunities to utilize the TME to achieve improved antitumor responses by targeting and modulate TAM.

15 Out of 2,625 & Friday Funnies
STATUS: Tomorrow is a holiday so I won't be blogging. Have a great 4th!
What's playing on the iPod right now? HOUNDS OF LOVE by Kate Bush
Oops. Perhaps I should have clarified yesterday's statistics because requesting 15 sample pages from 52 queries sounds pretty great.
That is until you hear the explanation. Be forewarned, the real statistics are daunting.
So yesterday I read 52 queries. That is true. However, these 52 queries were set aside for me to read out of three weeks' worth of queries.
On average, the agency gets 100 to 150 email queries a day. So in the last 21 days, we received 2,625 queries (using an average of 125 queries a day). Out of those 2,625 queries, Julie and Sara set aside 52 queries for me to read and review.
Out of those 52 queries, I asked for sample pages from 15 writers. In reality, I just basically asked for 15 sample pages from 2,625 queries.
Now before you die of heart failure, that's probably not wholly accurate either. I know Sara has also been requesting sample pages and I actually don't know how many she has requested from queries over the last 3 weeks.
So I'm guessing the total is more like 30 or 40 requests for sample pages out of 2,625 queries.
Now you know why I've spent so much time teaching you folks how to write that silly query pitch blurb!
And because I can't leave you in doom and gloom right before the holiday weekend, just remember that 're' is a drop of golden sun…
This put a huge smile on my face. I hope it does the same for you!

I was in Antwerp when they filmed that…saw a commotion around the station but tragically didn't go and investigate until it was all over! That'll teach me to put essay writing over satisfying my curiosity!
The numbers are ever so slightly less positive now…not that it matters because after all, if something is good enough it'll be picked up no matter how many other queries it's mixed in with!

What makes a YA paranormal book stand out against such fierce competition? Do you see that market dropping anytime soon?
Kristin Laughtin said: July 2, 2009 at 11:46 pm
I thought that 15/52 seemed unusually high, even for a generous requester. Now I think we can all go back to freaking out over, and trying to figure out, how to be part of that less than one percent who even get a partial request.

Ha! I just posted this video on my blog not too long ago. It makes me happy. Love it.

Thanks for the feel-good video. Made me want to do the happy dance. And what a nice way to start the holiday weekend without worrying over impossible odds and dreary times.

Love that video! Every time. Aimee, I love the kids especially, too.
Happy fourth, all!

The video hit the spot. Happy Holiday.
The statistic info also hit a different spot. Being in the sample pages group and not moving forward yesterday was discouraging. Now its kind of exciting. Being somewhere within the 30 out of 2,600 doesn't feel so bad.
Also the explanation of the categories in yesterday's post proved very illuminating since I write YA.
Thanks for the look into your world.

I've watched this movie every Christmas since I was about five… how could I have missed that hip-hop break in the middle? And what would Mother Superior think?

Huh . . . so what you're saying is, Julie and Sara are pitiless rejecting machines . . . and you're just plain easy.
J.E. MacLeod said: July 3, 2009 at 3:09 am
125 queries a DAY. Wow.
You are very popular!

That video REALLY had me smiling!
RCWriterGirl said: July 3, 2009 at 4:35 am
I, too, had thought 15 out of 52 was high.
I didn't realize you had a filter system of others who read queries before you even looked at them. So, I wonder if having a contact(i.e. "so-and-so you know recommended I contact you") makes a difference. It sounds like those things get into your in-pile even if they're not something you accept. And you even recommended them to others!
The finding an agent process has so many layers!
Another informative post, Ms. Nelson.

No, Kristin is not easy, and Sara is not a rejection machine. (After reading 52 queries in one evening, you might be confused and forget the 2600–or think that is what you are doing at the time)
Happy 4th of July. I am going to beautiful downtown Jackpot, Nevada–the Fun Spot South of the Border. One of my friends lives there. She has a job at the casino counting the money that comes out of the slot machines.

The only thing this makes me feel is more detremined. Ok, maybe a little freaked out as well, but I'm holding up ok.
I already knew that agents request very little of the queries they receive. But there are many reasons for that. One: The writer sent a project to an agent that does not deal with that particular genre. Two: Story well written, but perhaps not right for the agent. Three: Query or sample pages were utter crap. And on it goes.
Yes, the odds are against us, but when you think about it, it's not as nearly as bad as we think it is.
All we need to do is focus on writing the best dang book we have in us. Then worry about agents.

Being a bit of a number nerd I had a thought….I read somewhere (Probably here or Nathan's, Jessica's or Janet's blogs) that a high percentage of queries are rejected straight out because the queryer basically didn't format or mentioned they'd killed their parents recently or put in a copy of their acceptance speech for the Booker prize – or some other horrendous faux pas. These mistakes are erased by reading agent blogs and seeing what makes them run howling for a pillow into which they can scream out the demons in their minds telling them to find said queryer and dismember their family.
My point being that to temper that staggering 99.5% rejection stat (15 from 2615). So in essence if 75% screw up their query with poor formatting, etc, that means it's actually 15-in-654 or 1-in-44.
I like those stats much better

Nice information provide by you.
You are doing very well job! keep it up.
Marsha Sigman said: July 3, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Ok I laughed and had tears in my eyes over the video. Just when I think I am a hardened cynic….
Thanks for clarifying the numbers but I would love to know what caught your eye on the ones that you did choose.

Speaking as a reader, as well as a writer, let's all be thankful agents are picky. I mean, what would it be like if half of those 2600 queries turned into published books? Egad. What tripe would be on the shelves at Barnes & Noble?
So far this summer, I've picked up and read 15 or 20 published books, read them all, and have enjoyed each read. Agents filter for the best interest of all.

Oh, dear… I really fooled myself on that. Thanks for the clarification, though. And have a great holiday!

Yikes, those are tough stats! But it makes getting a partial request all the sweeter. 🙂

That video impressed me so much that I choked when I tried to laugh!
I love reading your blog. It motivates me every time I read it. 🙂
Richard Bartle said: July 6, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Were those 2,625 queries from people who had never pitched before, or from the same people who write you a query letter every three weeks in the hope that THIS next time they'll figure out the secret formula that leads to a request for a sample?
I ask so I know how long to wait before trying to trick you into thinking I haven't pitched to you before.
Nicole said: July 23, 2009 at 8:09 pm
(I missed this post, haha).
I was so close too! Well, at least I get to feel special, being one of the 15 to be asked for pages (though now that I think about it, I believe I sent my query to Sara, so maybe I wasn't one of the 15).
Either way, seeing the stats gives me a boost of hope anyway (even if the answer was eventually "No thanks."). 🙂
