Expression profile of tRNA‑derived fragments and their potential roles in human varicose veins.
Mol Med Rep 2019; 20(4):3191-3201MM
Varicose veins (VVs) is a common disease presenting with chronic venous insufficiency. tRNA‑derived fragments (tRFs) are associated with a variety of pathological conditions. However, the functions of tRFs in VVs have not been elucidated to date. The present study aimed to identify the key tRFs and investigate their potential roles in VVs. Small RNA sequencing (RNA‑seq) was performed to investigate the expression of tRFs in tissues of patients with VVs and their matched adjacent normal veins tissues (ANVs). Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) was used to confirm the differential expression of tRFs. A total of 13,789 tRFs were identified by small RNA‑seq, including 45 differentially expressed tRFs (DETs), which comprised 14 upregulated and 31 downregulated tRFs in VV tissues compared with ANVs. In addition, DETs were mainly involved in the function of epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathways in VVs. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that the target genes of DETs were predominantly involved in Wnt and mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, as well as calcium signaling. Additionally, two upregulated tRFs (tRF‑36‑F900BY4D84KRIME and tRF‑23‑87R8WP9IY) and one downregulated tRF (tRF‑40‑86J8WPMN1E8Y7Z2R) were further validated by RT‑qPCR, and a signaling pathway regulation network of their target genes confirmed their involvement in the calcium, Wnt and MAPK signaling pathways. The results of the present study identified three DETs (tRF‑36‑F900BY4D84KRIME, tRF‑23‑87R8WP9IY and tRF‑40‑86J8WPMN1E8Y7Z2R), which may have crucial roles in the occurrence and progression of VVs by regulating Wnt and MAPK signaling, as well as calcium signaling. The present results may provide a basis for further investigation of the functional roles of tRFs in VVs.

Bush's Visit and Presidential Primaries
January 10, 2008 / Editor / 1 Comment
Victories in the New Hampshire presidential primary by Republican Senator John McCain, and Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton appear the have little correlation with President George Bush's visit to Israel today and several other Middle Eastern countries. McCain, who is usually depicted as a bit of a hawk, won comfortably over his closest rival, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney; while Clinton, barely got by her closest rival, Illinois Senator Barack Obama. While it's still too early to tell who will wind up as their party's official nominee, the next few weeks will definitely tell which way the political winds are blowing for hopefuls in both major political parties.
As for Bush, in what will most likely be his last major visit to the this part of the world, he really doesn't have to worry what happens to anyone representing his political party, the Republicans, as most of the people running are not depending on his support anyway. That means that Mr. Bush can concentrate of trying to realize some of his plans concerning implementing a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as making sure that oil rich countries like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia remain under America's sphere of influence in order to keep that increasingly expensive commodity, oil, flowing into American refineries, and hence into American SUV's.
Iran, especially after their aborted attempt to create an international incident with American naval vessels in the Straits of Hormuz, is another factor that Bush will have to deal with until he leaves office on January 20, 2009. Concerning who will be replacing him, all the outgoing president can do is to wish his successor will, whoever that person may be.
Perhaps that's what is good about being an outgoing two term president. He is not really what is known as a "lame duck" as he is not under any serious political cloud such as an incumbent president is when losing a re-election bid. His vice president, Dick Cheney, is too old and too sick to run for the office, and Bush himself doesn't appear, at this point in time anyway, to be personally indorsing any of his party's candidates, including John McCain.
Bush's main "cloud" if one wants to call it that is the matter of the U.S. led invasion of Iraq and its aftermath; which will be a main concern for his replacement, especially if he (or she) is a Democrat. Other issues, including the ongoing War on Terror and the current goings-on the Middle East (the focus of his current Middle East visit) will also carry over to his successor as no major breakthroughs will probably come to pass this year. And this is despite assurances by Israeli Prime Minister Olmert and P.A. Authority President Abbas that there might be some encouraging steps made towards a final peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Other problems including global warming, a possible U.S. recession, Pakistan's current sate of flux, and Al Qaeda leaders Osama bin Ladin and Ayman al Zawahiri still presumed to be alive and kicking will be left to whoever is sitting in the Oval Office next January 21.
As for Bush, it will be back to Texas barbeques and Lone Star Beer, or whatever tickles his fancy.

Clothes: Are we attracting or repelling … – dennis' notes….
Clothes: Are we attracting or repelling potential converts? « Churchmouse Campanologist | Makes some good points about the importance of how we dress and present ourselves. This applies not only to the religious realm but to any situation. A case in point being: if you enter a redneck biker bar dressed in your preppy best, don't be surprised if you attract some unwanted attention. And of course I could cite myriad examples. But the point is that one should be mindful of how they present themselves to others and the effect of their actions and appearance on those around them.

smyrna 10 days of persecution
The messages generally followed the same seven elements: Church name, the name Jesus chose for Himself in addressing them, a commendation, a concern over a matter that needed correction, an exhortation, a promise to the overcomer, and a closing statement. Here is what the apostle John said about believers alive during this period from roughly AD 100-330: "And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things says the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive [Christ]; I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. It is an interesting fact that the persecution of the early Christians didn't harm the Church in the least, but rather helped it grow. Of course, those in the Church of God follow these same standards and commands today. ( Log Out / Change ). These brethren followed Jesus' command to lead simple lives (Luke 18:22) and stayed true to how the New Testament Church began: "And all that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need" (Acts 2:44-45). Amazon.com. These too were literal, 24-hr. During these and subsequent persecutions, Christians remained nonviolent, holding fast to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, particularly His Word in Matthew 5:43-48 regarding the treatment of enemies: FORTY DAYS IN THE LIVES OF MOSES AND JESUS. Persecution typically is not unexpected in the Christian community, except, perhaps, in those Churches having the Laodicean character. – and Its Incredible History! For more information: See our privacy policy. Be you, therefore, perfect, even as your Father, who is in heaven, is perfect.". Yet other names were more derogatory. Polycarp himself was commanded to swear by the divinity of the emperor. The specific message given to Smyrna is presented in Revelation 2:8-11: "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things say the first and the last, who was dead, and is alive. Mr. David Pack references Polycarp's influence in his book Where Is the True Church? It comes from the Hebrew word for pauper or poor. The book continues: "No distinction was made of age or sex…Many houses were set on fire, and whole Christian families perished in the flames; and others had stones fastened about their necks being tied together were driven into the sea. During the time interval ranging from A.D. 64 under the reign of Nero to A.D. 313 under Diocletian, Foxe in Chapters 1 and 2 of his work identified ten separate periods when persecution was particularly violent and widespread, typically a result of the Christian refusal to worship the Roman emperor as god.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of this world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. These too were literal, 24-hr. This is Polycarp, a leading Church figure in the years following the death of the apostle John. A few whispered words could mean the difference between eternal life or eternal death. Others interpret the days literally, the idea being that the imprisonment and persecution would be brief but intense. On February 23, AD 303, Emperor Diocletian issued the first of a series of edicts that ordered Christians to worship the Roman gods. The ancient city vied with Ephesus and Pergamos as the leading city of Asia Minor. Reflections on God, Family and the World About Us, Over the years many Christians have wondered what Jesus meant by the ten days of persecution. While Smyrnans suffered violent persecution, there was also growing heresy—as groups drifted further from what the Bible, Jesus Christ, and the original apostles taught. They insisted that the worship of the national gods—and the emperor in particular—was the duty of every citizen and that to refuse was an act of disloyalty. He wrote: "For neither could Anicetus persuade Polycarp not to observe it [the Passover], because he had always observed it with John the disciple of our Lord, and the rest of the apostles, with whom he associated; and neither did Polycarp persuade Anicetus to observe, who said he was bound to maintain the practice of the presbyters before him" (An Ecclesiastical History to the Year 324 of the Christian Era). The accounts of Jewish teachers in Smyrna, letters of Johannes Kolmodin (a Swedish Orientalist who was in Smyrna at the time), and Paul Grescovich say that Greeks or Armenians were responsible for the fire. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.". The bishop at Rome insisted on keeping the celebration of the pagan festival of Easter. While we currently live in the Laodicean era, we strive to maintain the Philadelphian standard. - Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer.We must bring out the difference between "to be about to" (μέλλειν), in the first two clauses, and the simple future (ἔξετε) in the third; compare "I will show him how many things he must suffer for my Name's sake" ().The devil, who inspires the "synagogue of Satan," is to be allowed to afflict them, as he afflicted Job. These Churches are, in the sequence that Jesus presented them, Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. ( Log Out / For in Asia great luminaries have gone to their rest, who shall rise again in the day of the coming of the Lord, when He comes with glory from heaven and shall raise again all the saints. The main offenders came from so-called Christians in Rome. 1 54-68 Nero Peter and Paul killed. He refused, choosing death. I favor the opinion given by John Foxe in Foxe's Christian Martyrs of the World. 4 161-180 Marcus Aurelius Polycarp martyred. Sardis and Laodicea, the two cities with bad churches, are now deserted and uninhabited sites.". When faced with this intense trial, all a person had to do was imply reverence for the emperor. According to the prophetic day-for-a-year principle (Num. But the Smyrnan elder's efforts to proclaim the truth were useless against the rising tide of paganism infiltrating what was considered the true Church at the time. Christ said it would: An 86-year-old man stands defiant in a raucous amphitheater in mid-second-century Smyrna. After Diocletian's persecution, Constantine became Emperor of Rome and legitimized Christianity, which led to growing complacence thereafter, a condition that continued to worsen until the Reformation, of which Martin Luther played a major part. What was Jesus' message to the church in Philadelphia in Revelation? I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of them who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. These qualities defined the life of Polycarp, but they also describe this entire chapter of Church history. It was this cult—the deification and worship of Roman emperors both alive and dead—that killed Polycarp and his contemporaries. While this eased the persecution for true Christians, it also marked the start of Roman-flavored Christianity mingling with the government. The apostle Peter wrote to "honor the king" (I Pet. True Christians during the late apostolic era and onward were given various names such as Nazarenes—as in those who follow Jesus of Nazareth. As the years ticked by, the Smyrnan era continued to suffer violence. These are the only two eras to receive a completely positive report from Jesus Christ. In the opening section, we read about a period of ten days in which Daniel and his believing, Jewish comrades were tested (Dan 1:12, 14-15). In Revelation Chapters 2 and 3 Jesus dictated messages to John regarding seven Churches located in what is now Turkey. In other words, horror and evil will precede Christ setting up the Kingdom of God. God promises this for those of Philadelphian condition: "Because you have kept the word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth" (Rev. 3:10). After the death of the original apostles, Polycarp (AD 69-156) was a Christian leader whose life exemplifies his era of the Church (Rev. Recall what Jesus said about Smyrna in Revelation 2: "I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich)" (vs. 9). Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried, and you shall have tribulation ten days; be you faithful to death, and I will give you a crown of life. Two Churches were singled out for having no commendation: Sardis and Laodicea; another two Churches were singled out for having no concern: Smyrna and Philadelphia. Ultimately, the executioner pierced the elderly Christian with a dagger and gave him a swift death.

Last Saturday night, England's Tyson Fury stepped into the ring with American knockout puncher Deontay Wilder to battle for the WBC heavyweight title. Despite being the underdog heading into the fight, the Brit out-performed his foe for the majority of the contest, save the eighth and 12th rounds when he was knocked down by his powerful opponent.
Despite his success throughout the fight, Tyson Fury was not announced the winner in the end. Instead, the bout was ruled a draw, which means both fighters will leave Los Angeles with their undefeated records still intact.
Given the fact that Tyson Fury outboxed Deontay Wilder for the majority of the contest, the draw verdict caused a tidal wave of controversy among fans, fighters and pundits. And unfortunately, that's not where the chaos ends.
As Bloody Elbow points out, one judge actually made an error when tallying his score for the fight.
That judge was Robert Tapper, who tallied his score as 114-110 in favor of Fury. If he had done his math properly, however, he would have actually come up with a less dominant score of 114-112 for Fury.
Open the calculator on your phone and tally up Tapper's score in the Wilder column to see for yourself.
This error, of course, thankfully doesn't change the outcome of the fight. It does, however, add ammunition to the ever-loudening argument that the sweet science has a sour, sour judging problem.
Like many onlookers, Tyson Fury feels that he should have been announced the winner of the bout.
What did you think of the judges' scorecards for Saturday's Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder fight?

Q: formGroup inside another formGroup programatically without using formArray I trying to add formGroup dynamically inside another formGroup without using formArray. And also add formControl in newly added formGroup dynamically.
I have also tried addFormGroup() function but its giving error that this.form.addFormGroup is not a function.

A: Is this what you are trying to achieve?
const f = new FormGroup({});
const userGroup = new FormGroup({});
f.addControl('user', userGroup);
userGroup.addControl('firstName', new FormControl('Vladimir'));
userGroup.addControl('lastName', new FormControl('Prudnikov'));
console.log(f.value);

Trevor Horn and Angelo Wilder, Air Force Junior ROTC cadets at Lincoln-Way East High School, received scholarships to attend one of six partnering universities participating in a private pilot license training program over the summer of 2018.
Horn and Wilder were among 120 AFJROTC cadets around the world to receive the scholarship from Headquarters AFJROTC, Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, Alabama.
More than 700 cadets applied for one of the 120 scholarships. There are more than 120,000 high school students enrolled in AFJROTC at over 880 high schools in the U.S and overseas.
The scholarship covered transportation, room and board, academics and flight hours required to potentially earn a private pilot license. The scholarship is valued at approximately $20,000.
The Flight Academy Scholarship Program is a new Air Force-level initiative in collaboration with the commercial aviation industry to address the national civilian and military pilot shortage. AFJROTC has been charged by the Air Force Aircrew Crisis Task Force to bring back the "luster of aviation" to high school students and increase diversity in aviation fields.
Those who participate in the program do not incur a military commitment to the Air Force or other branch of service, nor does completing the program guarantee acceptance into one of the military's commissioning programs.

Q: Finding an element in an array in Java Does Java have a built-function to allow me to linearly search for an element in an array or do I have to just use a for loop?

A: You can use one of the many Arrays.binarySearch() methods.  Keep in mind that the array must be sorted first.

A: There is a contains method for lists, so you should be able to do:
Arrays.asList(yourArray).contains(yourObject);

Warning: this might not do what you (or I) expect, see Tom's comment below.

A: With Java 8, you can do this:
int[] haystack = {1, 2, 3};
int needle = 3;

boolean found = Arrays.stream(haystack).anyMatch(x -> x == needle);

You'd need to do
boolean found = Arrays.stream(haystack).anyMatch(x -> needle.equals(x));

if you're working with objects.

A: Use a for loop.  There's nothing built into array.  Or switch to a java.util Collection class.

A: You might want to consider using a Collection implementation instead of a flat array.
The Collection interface defines a contains(Object o) method, which returns true/false.
ArrayList implementation defines an indexOf(Object o), which gives an index, but that method is not on all collection implementations.
Both these methods require proper implementations of the equals() method, and you probably want a properly implemented hashCode() method just in case you are using a hash based Collection (e.g. HashSet).

LAUSANNE (SWITZERLAND), March 28: Breakdancing and three other sports have made the next move toward becoming medal events at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee�s executive board on Wednesday recommended adding breakdancing, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing to the Paris programme when the full membership meets in June.
A final decision must be made by the board in December 2020 after further monitoring of the four.
Also on Wednesday, the IOC board agreed to continue helping North and South Korean athletes and officials work together despite diplomatic setbacks between the neighbouring governments in recent days.
Joint Korean teams are being prepared in four sports to try to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and a co-hosting bid for the 2032 Summer Games is a possible aim.
With those 2032 Olympics and the 2030 Winter Games in mind, a panel has been asked to look at ways of making an often expensive and politically unpopular candidate process �more flexible and more targeted.�
�The IOC may approach a city or a region and tell them, �Listen, isn�t it not a time for you now?�� IOC President Thomas Bach said at a news conference after the second of three days of board meetings.
Making the Olympic Games more affordable and responsive has been a key aim for Bach. He praised the four likely additions to the Paris medal programme as �more gender balanced, more youthful and more urban� �These four sports also offer the opportunity to connect with the young generation,� he said.
Though breakdancing would be new in the Summer Games, the other three are already confirmed for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics lineup.
All four sports will be assessed for how they are managed, and the integrity of competitions and judging, before being finalised for Paris. � AP

UNO is a virtual implementation of the famous classic card game which is traditional for family gatherings and parties. This version by Ubisoft allows you to enjoy all features of the game in online multiplayer matches as well as in single-player offline sessions. You can download UNO by Ubisoft for all major gaming platforms, such as PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and PC.
Graphics 4.5/5
As for a virtual version of a card game, UNO latest version looks incredibly smooth and modern. The most recent 4K-remaster made it much sharper and deeper. If you don't like the classic red background, you can download tree more themes, such as Just Dance, Rayman, and WInter (free).
Gameplay 5/5
If you have never played the UNO game, here are the brief rules. There is a deck of 108 cards. Every player receives 7 random cards at the beginning of the game. When the game begins, everyone should put cards to match colors, shapes, and numbers. If you don't have a playable card, you must take one from the draw pile and pass the turn if the received card is unplayable too. So what does the word "UNO" stand for? This is the most important rule. You have to shout UNO so that everyone could hear if you have a single card left. If you forget to do it, you must take 2 cards extra. Fortunately, such a great rule is implemented in this version of the game. You can become a winner if you play all your cards and score 500 points. If you are the first who used all cards, then you receive points from your nearest opponents hands.
You can play online UNO with up to 3 friends in the online multiplayer mode as well as in local multiplayer. For the last option, you need a console with 4 gamepads. PS4, Xbox One, and Switch provide this opportunity. It means that you don't need a physical box of UNO and you won't lose cards anymore! This game is the perfect entertainment for kids above 7, parties, and family gatherings.
Controls 5/5
The controls in UNO are as simple as possible. Of course, they are different for consoles, touchscreens, and PC. We tested all these options for this UNO review. You have to use the cross-button and action buttons to choose and play cards on consoles. The PC version requires only a mouse to click on cards. The touch-screen version controls are also a bit different. You can see the UNO button on the screen.
Replay Value 5/5
This game is a perfect time killer if you prefer playing the single-player mode. It's also an excellent solution for leisure parties and family gatherings. Every UNO match is very simple and takes no more than 15 minutes. The rules are straightforward, so the game will match the taste of everyone.
UNO by Ubisoft is perhaps the most playable virtual version of this classic game created by Merl Robbinson in 1971. Unfortunately, it's not a free one, but you can play cross-platform matches! Such a great option is worth more than $10. If you are a fan of UNO, this gaming app is a must-have for you.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Bellevue man has pleaded no contest to manslaughter and a weapons count in the south Omaha shooting death of his friend.
32-year-old Matthew Arnold entered the plea Tuesday in a deal with prosecutors.
Police say an argument and name-calling led to the December shooting of 32-year-old Matthew Johnson.
Arnold will face up to 70 years in prison when he's sentenced in November.

Tales Of Edinburgh
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is on and sadly, we're not there! So we've dug into the archives to find some of our favorite Edinburgh moments. Thrill to tales of discovery; amazing performing experiences; reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones; the only (horrible) way to become a Catholic martyr; special appearances by Rachel Parris, Yisrael Campbell, and Tim Fitzhigham; the real-life inspirations for the Red Wedding and Shakespeare's "The Phoenix and the Turtle"; fun-loving Puritan numpties; new Jews, old Jews, and faux Jews; the joys of both seeing and performing multiple shows during a single Fringe; the dangers of flyering; excerpts from The Complete Millennium Musical (abridged), which performed at the Assembly Rooms exactly twenty years ago; international tour dates for the Fall of 2019; and discovering how the theatre can become your temple and John Malkovich your lord and savior.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) Returns to the UK
Why? asks a bewildered nation. Read on… We were very disturbed by the recent Vision Critical survey that suggests contemporary children have no idea who Shakespeare is and that more than a quarter of adults haven't read his plays. And as for the final kick in the codpiece that nobody even knows Shakespeare was British? We blame ourselves. (more…)

Your final invoice will be sent to you 10 weeks before departure. Payment of the balance is due no later than 56 days prior to departure.
Deposit and full payment can be made by credit card, debit card, cheque or bank transfer.
Insurance covering you for the activities on your itinerary is mandatory for all customers on all Earth's Edge tours. You must declare any pre-existing medical conditions to your insurers and ensure you receive written confirmation that any pre-existing medical conditions are fully insured. We advise you to obtain travel insurance as soon as you book, that will cover you for unforeseeable circumstances such as illness or injury that might result in you not being able to take part in your expedition.
A copy of your insurance policy detailing policy validity dates, cover and names of those insured must be emailed to us prior to departure.
All travellers must have passport valid for at least 6 months from the date the tour ends.
Travellers must obtain tourist/entry visas for the destination if required. We will supply information about obtaining a visa to you when you have made a booking and you will also find more information on our website.
It is imperative for everyone's sake that you are fit and healthy and able to participate in all included elements of you chosen tour. Please ensure you have read the tour literature and you are fit enough to complete this tour.
Airlines require full names (first and surnames) in order to issue flight tickets and may refuse boarding to any that do not exactly match up with the relevant passport. Please ensure that all names you supply to us are complete and correct (no nicknames or abbreviations) and as per passport.
The contract is between the Company and the client, being any person travelling or intending to travel on a tour operated by the Company. The contract, including all matters arising from it, is subject to Irish law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish Courts. No employee of the Company other than a director has authority to vary or omit any of these terms or promise any discount or refund.
a) they have read and accepted our Booking Conditions and general information pages, contained on our website, brochures and other related documents the company posted or emailed the client.
b) they appreciate the risks involved in adventure travel.
c) they do not suffer (or has ever suffered) from any pre-existing medical condition which may prevent them from actively participating in the tour.
A booking is accepted and becomes definite only from the date the Company receives your deposit payment. It is at this point that a contract between the Company and the client comes into existence. Before your booking is confirmed and a contract comes into force, the Company reserves the right to increase or decrease prices.
The Company or their agents reserve the right to decline any booking at their discretion. Where our allocation of air seats, or train seats has been fully utilised or where it is not possible to offer an air seat from an allocation, we reserve the right to pass on any extra costs incurred.
The balance of all monies due, including any surcharges applicable at that time, must be paid to the Company or their agent not later than 56 days before departure. In the case of non-payment of the balance by the due date the Company reserves the right to cancel your booking and cancellation charges will apply. Any monies paid by you to a travel agent for tours operated by the Company, are held by the agent on the Company's behalf.
If a client is unable to travel, in certain circumstances which the Company considers reasonable, the booking may be transferred to another suitable person, however the tour arrangements must remain the same and will only be allowed if all suppliers (eg. airlines, trains etc.) agree to accept the name change. If a transfer is allowed an administration charge of €60 will be made if the company is advised up to 90 days before departure or €100 per person if less than 90 days before departure, plus any extra charges levied by suppliers.
a) 90 and more days before departure – retention or transfer of deposit. Deposits are non-refundable however, if you cancel more than 90 days before departure we will allow you to transfer your deposit to another tour. You are only permitted to move your deposit once, should you cancel a second time your deposit will be retained.
b) 56-89 days before departure – retention of deposit.
Should the client have a complaint about any of the tour arrangements, the client must tell both the relevant supplier and the Company's representative at the time. It is only if the Company and the relevant supplier know about problems that there will be the opportunity to put things right. Failure to complain on the spot will result in the client's ability to claim compensation from the Company being extinguished or at least reduced.
Clients are responsible for arranging, and must be in possession of, a valid passport, entry visas and vaccination certificates required for the whole of their journey. Information about these matters or related items (climate, clothing, baggage, personal gear etc) is given in good faith but without responsibility on the part of the Company.
It is a condition of this contract that all clients are covered either by the travel insurance scheme arranged by the Company or covered by another travel insurance scheme which furnishes all clients with at least the same level of cover as that afforded by the travel scheme arranged by the Company. Clients together with their personal property including baggage are at all times solely at their own risk. Clients are wholly responsible for arranging their own insurance. Clients are responsible for ensuring that they are in possession of private Travel Insurance with protection for the full duration of the tour in respect of at least medical expenses, injury, death, repatriation, cancellation and curtailment, with adequate cover. Clients making their own arrangements should ensure that there are no exclusion clauses limiting protection for the type of activities included in their tour.
To ensure that you would be refunded and/or repatriated in the unlikely event of the Company's insolvency the company is licensed and bonded. It is licensed by the Commission for Aviation Regulation in Dublin. This ensures that monies paid to the Company are secure.
iii. any medical problem or disability is not disclosed; provided that in the Company's belief such medical problem or disability is likely to endanger your health and safety and/ or the health and safety of anyone else participating in the tour.
Clients agree to accept the authority and decisions of the Company's employees, tour leaders and agents whilst on tour with the Company. If in the opinion of any such person(s) or any other person in a position of authority (such as, for example, an airline pilot or hotel manager), the health, level of fitness or conduct of a client at any time before or during a tour is endangering or appears likely to endanger the health or well being of the client or any third party (including any other clients of the Company) or the safe, comfortable or happy progress of the tour, the client may be excluded from all or part of the tour without refund or recompense. Where a client is excluded, the Company will have no further responsibility towards them (including any return travel arrangements) and we will not meet any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the exclusion. In the case of ill health, the Company may make such arrangements as it sees fit and recover the costs thereof from the client. If a client commits an illegal act (including, for example, causing any damage) the client may be excluded from the tour and the Company shall cease to have responsibility to/for them as above. No refund will be given for any unused services. When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be made direct to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier or to us as soon as possible. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you if this situation arises.
We reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your tour is confirmed. We will advise you of any error of which we are aware and of the then applicable price at the time of booking. Once the price of your chosen tour has been confirmed at the time of booking, then subject to the correction of errors, we will only increase or decrease the price in the following circumstances. Price increases or decreases after booking will be passed on by way of a surcharge or refund. A surcharge or refund (as applicable) will be payable, subject to the conditions set out in this clause, in the event of any change in our transportation costs or in dues, taxes or fees payable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports or airports or in the exchange rates which have been used to calculate the cost of your tour.
No surcharge will be imposed less than 20 days before the start of your tour and no refunds will be made during this period either. If variations occur before that time, we will absorb or retain a total amount up to the equivalent of the first 2% of your invoiced tour cost. For variations greater than 2%, we will still absorb the first 2% in the case of increases, but will not retain it from refunds.
If we impose a surcharge which means paying more than 10% of your tour price, you will be entitled to cancel your tour with a full refund of all monies paid to us except for any premium paid for amendment charges or alternatively to purchase another tour from us as referred to in clause 12 "If we change your tour". You have 14 days from the issue date printed on the surcharge invoice to tell us if you want to cancel or purchase an alternative tour where applicable. If you do not do so, we are entitled to assume that you will pay the surcharge. Any surcharge must be paid with the balance of the cost of the tour.
While the Company will do its best to operate all tours as advertised, it reserves the right to change and correct errors in any of the facilities, services, prices or itineraries described in any brochure and/or on our website at any time before or after your booking is confirmed.
For "Guaranteed Departures", we promise not to make any significant changes to the itinerary unless we are forced to do so by force majeure (see clause 14) or other factors outside our control such as flight cancellations.
A significant change is a change made before departure which we can reasonably expect to have a major effect on your tour. Significant changes are likely to include the following changes when made before departure; a change of the outward or return international flight departure time to/from Ireland (where we have booked your international flight) or of the duration of your tour (excluding international flights) of 12 or more hours, a change of the departure airport, a major itinerary re-routing. Please note, a change of airline, any advertised mode of transport, named accommodation and flight time we have booked for you of less than 12 hours are not significant changes unless otherwise expressly stated.
If advised of a significant change before departure the client will have the choice of accepting the changed arrangements (at additional cost if applicable), purchasing another available tour from the Company (paying or receiving a refund in respect of any difference in price) or cancelling the tour with a full refund of all monies paid to us. If we have to make a significant change before departure we will as a minimum, where compensation is due, pay you the compensation payments set out in the table below depending on the circumstances and when the significant change is notified to you or your travel agent subject to the following exception. Compensation will not be payable and no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care. Such circumstances are likely to include those listed in clause 14 "Force Majeure". No compensation will be payable and the above options will not be available where a change is a minor one. We regret we cannot meet any visa, vaccination or similar costs in the event of any change or cancellation by us. Similarly, as you are advised only to book fully flexible connecting transport and other arrangements (such as pre or post tour accommodation) which can be cancelled or changed without charge, we cannot pay any cancellation, amendment or other charges you may incur in relation to any arrangements which you have to change or cancel as a result of any change to your tour.
Very rarely, we may be forced by "force majeure" (see clause 14) to change or terminate your tour after departure but before the scheduled end of your time away. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers), pay you any compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.
The Company reserves the right to cancel a tour in any circumstances but will not cancel a tour less than 8 weeks before the start of the tour except for force majeure (see clause 14), consolidation / cancellation of tours where minimum numbers have not been achieved or the client's failure to make all payments (including the final balance and any surcharge) when due. Please note , except for "Guaranteed Departures", our tours require a minimum number of participants to enable us to operate them. If any tour does not have the minimum number of participants required to make it commercially viable, we are entitled to cancel it. We will notify you or your travel agent of cancellation for this reason not less than 8 weeks before the start of your tour.
For "Guaranteed Departures", we promise not to cancel your tour unless we are forced to do so by force majeure (see clause 14) or other factors outside our control such as flight cancellations. If we have to cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure and the cancellation does not result from your failure to pay, we will offer you the choice of purchasing an alternative tour offered as a result of consolidation or another available tour from the Company (in either case, paying or receiving a refund in respect of any difference in price) or receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us excluding Annual Insurance premiums if applicable. We regret we cannot meet any visa, vaccination or similar costs in the event of any change or cancellation by us. Similarly, as you are advised only to book fully flexible transport and other arrangements which can be cancelled or changed without charge, we cannot pay any cancellation, amendment or other charges you may incur in relation to any transport or other arrangements which you have to change or cancel as a result of the cancellation of your tour.
In addition, we will as a minimum, where compensation is due, pay you the compensation set out in the table in clause 12 above depending on the circumstances and when the cancellation is notified to you or your travel agent subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable and no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where (1) we are forced to cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care (such circumstances are likely to include those listed in clause 14 "Force Majeure") or (2) we have to cancel because the minimum number of participants necessary for us to operate your tour has not been reached (see above). No compensation will be payable and the above options will not be available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time).
Clients bookings are accepted on the understanding that they appreciate the possible risks inherent in adventure travel and that they undertake the tours, treks or expeditions featured in our programme at their own volition.
(i) Our obligations, and those of our suppliers providing any service or facility included in your holiday, are to take reasonable skill and care to arrange for the provision of such services and facilities and, where we or our supplier is actually providing the service or facility, to provide them and to do so with reasonable skill and care. You must show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make any claim. Standards of, for example, safety, hygiene and quality vary throughout the transport and destinations that your holiday may involve. Sometimes these standards will be lower than those which would be expected to be found in the Republic of Ireland. The services and facilities included in your holiday will be deemed to be provided with reasonable skill and care if they comply with any local regulations which apply, or, if there are no applicable local regulations, if they are reasonable when compared to the local standards and customs.
(ii) Where the client does not suffer personal injury, the Company accepts liability should any part of the tour arrangements booked with the Company not be supplied as described on the website or any other company material. In such a case, the Company will pay reasonable compensation if the clients enjoyment of the tour arrangements has been adversely affected but will pay no compensation if there has been no fault on the part of the Company or its suppliers and the reason for the failure in the tour arrangements was the client's fault, the actions of someone unconnected with the tour arrangements or could not have been foreseen or avoided by the Company or its suppliers even if all due care was exercised.
(iii) For claims which involve death or personal injury as a result of an activity forming part of your holiday, we accept, and will only have, liability subject to paragraphs (iv) and (v) below should we or our suppliers fail to satisfy the obligations detailed in paragraph i) above. If we have liability, we will, subject to paragraphs (v) and (vi) below, pay you reasonable compensation.
(iv) We have liability in accordance with paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above and subject to paragraphs (v) and (vi) below except where the cause of the failure to provide, or failure in, your holiday or any death or personal injury you may suffer is not due to any fault on our part or that of our servants, agents or suppliers, because it is either attributable to you, or attributable to someone unconnected with your holiday and is unforeseeable or unavoidable, or is due to unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which neither we, nor our servants, agents or suppliers could have foreseen or forestalled.
(v) If any international convention applies to or governs any of the services or facilities included in your holiday arranged or provided by us, or provided by any of our suppliers, and you make a claim against us of any nature arising out of death, injury, loss or damage suffered during or as a result of the provision of those services or facilities, our liability to pay you compensation and/or the amount (if any) of compensation payable to you by us will be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to that provided for by the international convention concerned (in each case including in respect of the conditions of liability, the time for bringing any claim and the type and amount of any damages that can be awarded). International Conventions which may apply include: in respect of international air travel, the Warsaw Convention 1929 (including as amended by the Hague Protocol of 1955 and by any of the additional Montreal Protocol of 1975) or the Montreal Convention 1999; in respect of rail travel, the Berne Convention 1961; in respect of carriage by sea, the Athens Convention 1974; in respect of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973; and, in respect of hotels, the Paris Convention 1962. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that we are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitations of compensation contained in any of these Conventions or any other international conventions applicable to your holiday. If your baggage is lost, damaged or destroyed in any circumstance not subject to an international convention the maximum amount of compensation we will pay you will be €300. This sum will be assessed with reference particularly to your loss and the extent to which this has required you to purchase replacements.
(vi) You must, if we are adjudged to have, or if we accept, liability for a claim that you make, assign to us any rights that you may have against any of our servants, agents or suppliers which is in any way responsible for the failure of your holiday or any death or personal injury you may suffer. You must also cooperate with us in any claim we choose to bring against any third party which we, in our discretion, deem to be so responsible.
(viii) Where a flight ticket is downgraded or a flight cancelled, delayed, or boarding is denied by any carrier in circumstances which would entitle you to compensation, then you are obliged to claim the appropriate sums pursuant to those regulations from the carrier. Any sums received by you in this respect constitute the full amount of your entitlement to compensation for all matters flowing from the carrier's actions. If, for any reason, you do not claim against the carrier and make a claim for compensation from us, we will not consider your claim until such time as you have made a complete assignment to us of any rights you have against the carrier.
(ix) Should you choose to participate in any activities or tours that are not part of the Earth's Edge itinerary, you do so at your own risk.
(x) Should you choose to extend your stay and remain in the destination country after the Earth's Edge tour has finished you do so at your own risk. Earth's Edge do not provide 24/7 emergency support for clients extending and arranging their own travel plans.
For bookings received within 6 weeks of departure we reserve the right to pass on any extra costs incurred. For bookings received within 6 weeks of departure the Contract between the Company and the Client comes into existence once full payment has been made and received by Earth's Edge.


Stateline Friends Weaving Retreat is a part of the Whitewater Basket Guild located in Richmond, Indiana. The guild reached out to Bad Banana seeking assistance with updating their online web application.
The original system was built in 2009 and was in serious need of a complete overhaul. The framework was outdated and multiple processes were consistently failing or not functioning at all. We tackled the project with a three-phased approach: framework modification, multiple redevelopment, and graphical redesign. We accomplished this by upgrading the existing ColdFusion framework to the latest version (CF 11) along with other technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap. We also re-engineered data modules to be more streamlined, more intuitive, and more functional.
The existing design of the application was confusing, at best. We redesigned the site to allow the visitors to easily find the information relevant to them. The design is simple, crisp and reflects exactly what the Guild wanted to convey with regards to information and products.

Q: How much should I override readObject() writeObject(), in java? Seems an strange question, but look at this simple code:
public class Father implements Serializable{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    String familyName = "Josepnic";
    String name = "Gabriel"
    void writeObject (ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException{
        out.writeObject(familyName);
        out.writeObject(name);
    }
    void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        familyName = (String) in.readObject();
        name = (String) in.readObject();
    }
}
public class Child extends Father{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    String name = "Josep";
    void writeObject (ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException{
        out.writeObject(name);
    }
    void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        name = (String) in.readObject();
    }
}

I don't know if Child should also wirte the family name of his father or it would be automatically written? (I say this because father has a writeObject(), itselsf but I don't know about the treatment of Java Serialization).
Maybe a good suggestion is
public class Child extends Father{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    String name = "Josep";
    @Override
    void writeObject (ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException{
        super.writeObject(out);
        out.writeObject(name);
    }
    @Override
    void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        super.readObject(in);
        name = (String) in.readObject();
    }
}

A: void writeObject (ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException{
    out.writeObject(familyName);
    out.writeObject(name);
}
void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
    familyName = (String) in.readObject();
    name = (String) in.readObject();
}

void writeObject (ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException{
    out.writeObject(name);
}
void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
    name = (String) in.readObject();
}

It doesn't matter in the least what you put into these methods as posted, because none of them is ever called. They aren't private, as required by the Object Serialization Specification, so Serialization doesn't call them.
And given that they are supposed to be private, using @Override is futile as well.
As your code presumably works, you can conclude from that alone that you don't need to do this at all. Let Serialization do it for you.


People in business organizations have long been adapting to business processes. How about designing processes that adapt to users! We can help you bring human centricity to your business operations- offering increased flexibility and ownership to workers, enabling them to take charge of work plans and policies, and respond better to critical events. As a result, the organization can expect higher rates of compliance, and improved experience for end customers.
Good products/services often under-achieve their potential due to sub-optimal usage experience. Very often, it isn't the core product/service itself that's an issue, but the peripherals attached which need an overhaul. In the Customer Experience Design service, we focus on bringing delight to your customers by improving their end-to-end experience. We do so with methods like Customer Journey Mapping, User Personas and Scenarios. As a result of this service, the business can expect to see improvement in sales, adoption, loyalty, NPS scores etc. as the case may be.
Leverage on the company's strengths. It can help plan for expansion/diversification with reduced risk.
We do so by first developing fresh insights with our unique blend of qualitative user research, business landscape analysis, and design research; and leveraging methods like co-creation and smart experimentation to design and validate new product/service concepts.
Iterative prototyping to uncover potential implementation challenges that often arise due to broken systems- lack of infrastructure, communication networks, literacy etc.
From customer centricity to backend process efficiency and adherence, figuring next gen technology solutions to breaking functional silos, Design Thinking has the power to achieve a lot for your business. However, it may not always be evident where and what value we should target to unlock with it. For that, we have our design audits. If you have a hunch about what Design Thinking can do for you, let's talk!
Novelty is a natural outcome of Design Thinking. We don't simply recommend best practices, but instead focus on creating differentiated solutions for you.
You can expect a steady focus on delivering business value from us. And depending on the nature of project we choose appropriate metrics like Time To Market, NPS, SROI etc. to quantify our project outcomes.


In early August, I met up with a group of friends in London to visit Trans-MISSION (a transgender club in London). It was the first time I'd visited a TG club and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Tragically, Debbie Fox (one of the friends I met for the first time in person that night) passed away several weeks later. She was a truly wonderful person, and her loss has hit those who knew her hard. These pictures are dedicated to the memory of the funloving and caring person we knew in her. She won't be forgotten.

Berlin & Beyond Film Fest goes beyond SF…
Berlin & Beyond Film Fest goes beyond SF and into Berkeley
Two estranged brothers reunite after their father's death and set out on a moped ride through Germany in "25 KM/H," the opening night film for the Berlin and Beyond Film Festival. (Courtesy Berlin and Beyond Film Festival)
By Randy Myers, Correspondent | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: March 4, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. | UPDATED: March 4, 2019 at 10:17 a.m.
The Berlin & Beyond film festival kicks off this year with the road-trip comedy/drama "25 KM/H" on March 8 and 11. It's one of the must-see flicks at this annual celebration of German — and beyond — filmmaking sponsored by San Francisco's Goethe-Institut. East Bay fans are in for a treat as well, because Berkeley will be hosting a day of screenings.
Touted as the "largest festival of contemporary German cinema in The Americas," Berlin & Beyond offers an eclectic and often exciting slate of nonfiction and narrative features.
Certainly, "25 KM/H" has broad appeal. The family drama brings together two brothers who, after sparring at their father's wake, make amends and decide to fulfill a dream they have — driving their mopeds across Germany. It screens March 8 at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, and again March 11 at the Shattuck in Berkeley.
This year's centerpiece feature, "The Silent Revolution," depicts what happens when a group of high school seniors observe two minutes of silence for those involved in the 1956 Hungarian uprising. It will screen in San Francisco on March 9 and in Berkeley on March 11. And the Castro's March 10 closing-night film — "The Bra," a dramedy about a man on a quest to return a piece of lingerie to its owner — will screen in Berkeley on March 11, as well.
Other highlights: "The Cakemaker," a poignant tale about grief and unexpected attraction between a widow and her husband's male lover — a baker; "Chris the Swiss," a cousin exploring the life and untimely death of her charismatic relative, a journalist; and the two features making up the Youth 4 German Cinema, "Mountain Miracle — An Unexpected Friendship" and "A Jar Full of Life."
Details: March 8-10 at the Castro in S.F.; March 11 at the Shattuck in Berkeley; and March 12-14 for encore screenings at the Goethe-Institut San Francisco. $11-$15 for regular screenings, more for special events. Berlinbeyond.com

Second Natchez casino gets approval
Staff & Wire Reports
The Mississippi Gaming Commission has granted a gaming license to Magnolia Bluffs Casino.
The Natchez Democrat reports the commission granted the approval Thursday during its meeting at the Natchez Grand Hotel.
The casino, which is scheduled to open Dec. 21, has been nearly six years in the making.
The casino first received site approval from the commission in 2007 and approval to proceed with development in 2008.
The approval expired after the company failed to submit proper financial documentation within a certain period of time.

LIGHT TIMER
There are artists who choose to hide behind a mask, but John Talabot simply prefers not to show his face. This is not about playing a character; it is much more about putting music in the forefront––a wall that should transcend the persona. After all, Talabot has been known to claim that it is music that is important, not artists. He was successful at keeping up this wall… at least for a while. But, after the heat wave caused by his song "Sunshine," it didn't take long until the tastemaking website Pitchfork crowned Talabot as "the next big thing from Spain" (or was it the only big thing from Spain?). Nowadays, although it is still rare that he shows his face, we know that behind John Talabot there is Oriol Riverola. We also know that he's capable of composing a stunning homage to '90's house music such as his debut album, "fIN" (Permanent Vacation, 2012): a tribute to the past that somehow sounds like it has just landed here from the future.
