This is no longer about Democrats and Republicans.
No. It's not about Democrat or Republican. It's not about the left wing or the right wing.
It's about capitalism and corporate power. It is now perfectly clear that BOTH parties, all three branches of government, and the fourth estate are controlled by corporate power.
Corporate power versus ordinary people. For my generation it began with the Kennedy and King assassinations and the Vietnam War. We gained some ground for a few years in the 1970's with the impeachment of Nixon, but Carter failed in spite of his good intentions and it went viral in the 1980's with the election of Ronald Reagan. Since then our entire culture has been hollowed out by it. We now have two generations that have been educated under the Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush corporatist educational philosophy. Civics, Good Government, and the history of the Labor Movement has slowly but surely disappeared from school curricula. Reading by phonics went away suddenly in the mid eighties and was replaced by Whole Language, a dismal failure, that left a decade of classes of 1980's and 1990's school children behind the curve on reading and writing. And with G.W. Bush, "No Child Left Behind" put the failure of our educational system on steroids. I'm a baby-boomer. I was in the high school class of '69 (the best class;). We were taught that Government is good. Our kids, and their kids, have been taught that Government is bad. We learned about the Red Scares, the Palmer Raids, the Army/McCarthy Hearings, and the Haymarket Riot. We learned who Joe Hill, and Paul Robeson, and Thurgood Marshall were. Our kids and grandkids have not been taught about those things in school. Thirty years have gone by. The me-first, sink-or-swim, liberalism-is-bad, Government-is-bad, greed-is-good thinking has now been instilled in a majority of our population. It's assumed to be the norm by two generations who don't remember the world without computers, internet, and cable TeeVee.
Our manufacturing sectors no longer exist. We've gone from the largest importer of raw material and the largest exporter of finished goods in the 1950's, 60's and 70's, to the largest exporter of raw materials and the largest importer of finished goods today. The American middle class experienced 40 years of growth after World War Two. Since the mid 1980's, wages have declined in spite of the vastly increased productivity of the workforce brought about by the digital revolution, and the stability of the middle class is gone. Seventy-five years of labor protections brought to us by the blood, sweat, and tears of generations of union organizers and labor activists have been broken. Our bread-and-butter jobs are gone and won't be coming back if the corporatists have anything to say about it.
Why do corporatists worship the memory of Ronald Reagan? Among other things it's because Reagan and his followers revolutionized the way politicians communicate with voters. Cable TeeVee became widespead and began to replace broadcast. The Fairness Doctrine, which required broadcasters to broadcast content in the public interest was abolished. Electronic media, which was then nascent, was conglomerated and brought under tight corporate control. The News Divisions of the large broadcast networks were taken out from behind the firewall of the Fairness Doctrine and put under the umbrella of the Entertainment Divisions. Roone Arledge, a sports broadcast producer, took control of ABC News. When "Cable News" became popular in the late 1980's all bets were off. The news was officially canceled and has for the past 15 years been replaced by "info-tainment", which was once called "bread-and-circuses". The motion picture "Network", produced in 1979, was eerily prescient. Our entire population has been dumbed down to the point where they will now seem to swallow any crap that comes out of their corporate TeeVee, including the myth of Barack Obama, who has shown himself to be just another player in the corporate game.
Nothing will change unless there is honest campaign finance reform and corporate money is taken out of politics. But the Supreme Court has ruled that corporations are persons and that for corporations, money equals speech. Corporations have been deemed to be persons and granted protections under the First Amendment, but somehow they can still buy and sell other corporations. I don't get that. Where I come from they call that slavery. But overturning corporate personhood will require a constitutional amendment and/or the overturn of at least two Supreme Court decisions, and I don't see it happening anytime soon. Our entire government is now under tight corporate control. And don't get me started on the environment, the climate, the wars, the torture, the militarized police, and all that other stuff.
Capitalism is a great system when proper tax and trade policies are enacted and the marketplace is properly regulated. We know this from our history. Karl Marx may have been wrong about the scalability of Communism, but he was dead right when he described Capitalism as an unsustainable system when left unchecked. If left on it's own it will grow like a cancer. We are now in the cancer stage of Capitalism. Our economic and political systems are strangled by it and it is killing itself. It is eating itself from the inside and it will eventually collapse if Government does not take control and make it work.
Hopefully our species will survive to see that happen.
Update: I wrote this last week and posted it on DKos over the weekend. It got 58 comments, but I don't think many people saw it there in the rush of diaries that day. Considering what has happend in Left Blogostan over the past week, I thought it would be appropriate to post it again over here.

Tour de Turtle
By Peter Popham
What is it about the word turtle? Why must a fatally outdated style of knitwear, one of America's corniest Sixties pop groups, and a dire children's cartoon series all cluster around this innocuous word? The clumsiest thing you can do in a boat is turn turtle. The turtle itself invariably cuts a ridiculous figure with its hapless-looking flippers, its armor-plated clumsiness, the gently extraterrestrial contours of its skull, its famous sex drive . . . "The turtle lives 'twixt plated decks Which practically conceal its sex. I think it clever of the turtle In such a fix to be so fertile," wrote Ogden Nash.
But now a group of very serious people who have made their life's work the study of the Pacific leatherback turtle have gritted their teeth behind fixed grins and decided to make the most of the fact that the turtle cannot avoid being funny.
The bitter fact is that the leatherback, which is as old as the dinosaurs to which it is closely related and which sailed blithely through the cataclysmic event that wiped out all its earthbound cousins 65 million years ago, is now on the verge of extinction. So the people of the Pacific Leatherback Trust have turned the Pacific leatherback's desperate Pacific odyssey into an online children's game.
It's called the Great Turtle Race, and you can find it at greatturtlerace.com. The "race" is the Web-based dramatization of a natural event that has been going on for about 100 million years, way before the advent of man, back in the Cretaceous period and the heyday of the dinosaurs. From the gently sloping yellow sand of Playa Grande in Las Baulas National Marine Park, Costa Rica, 11 huge female leatherback turtles—up to 900 kilograms in weight and almost two meters long—wade and waddle and slap their way across the sand and into the
eastern Pacific.
Their names are Turtleocity, Purple Lightning, Billie, Windie, Genevieve, Saphira, and so on. On the website, one is at the wheel of a car, one is reading a travel brochure while wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, one has a dragon perched on its back.
Flip the card to read more about the turtle: "If it were possible to burn rubber under water," burbles Genevieve's card, "this would be the turtle to do it. She's revved up and ready to roll
. . . She started the race with some fresh scrapes and wounds on her shoulder," says Windie's card, "but this fighter completed the long trek to her nesting site and is back in the water and on her way. The sentimental favorite, she has a good shot at first place . . ."
Go to www.greatturtlerace.com to follow the progress of the turtles as, nesting finished, they launch them-selves from the beach and set off in a long arc 1,900 kilometers across the ocean to their feeding grounds in the Galapagos Islands. Of course, the turtles didn't all start out on April 16, as the game pretends; as with the Tour de France, starts were staggered—the turtles set off when they chose—so the game is also called "Tour de Turtle." To make it more fun and encourage masses of people to go to the site, the game implies that it is all synchronized. But what is true is that the leatherbacks are all starting from the same place—the beach that has become the last refuge of the leatherback on the East Pacific coast, the only spot along this great sweep of sand where they still come to nest—and the Galapagos is where they will all end up. Drift nets and pelagic longlines allowing, of course.
The Internet turtle race is made possible by satellite tags: during the 20 minutes or so in which the turtles deposit their eggs in the sand, they are immobile—in a sort of trance—allowing the Trust people to strap backpacks containing satellite transmitters to them. But of course the "race" is just a cute spinoff from the real purpose of the tags, which fall away after a couple of years.
So the chances of Billie, Windie, Purple Lightning, and the rest making it all the way to the Galapagos are less than brilliant—particularly given the 1996 experience of Frank Paladino, head of biology at Indiana's Purdue University, and his team. "Many of these satellite-tagged turtles seemed to hit a zone in the Pacific where the transmitters and the turtles seemed to disappear . . . we suspect that they are being caught on longline and gill net fisheries near the Galapagos Islands and off the coasts of Ecuador and Chile."
So a warning to parents of small children for whom the Great Turtle Race might seem the perfect introduction to learning to care about the environment: it could all end in tears. Just like the real world.

Among all of the different ways to create an invoice for different industries, one of the particular invoices you should know about is an invoice that will reflect design work completed. Let's learn more about design invoice.
Creating an invoice for any graphic design job is necessary in order to get paid for the work you have completed The invoice should look professional, be detailed in the information it provides, and it should also look great, as it is an example of your design work. You can design your own invoices based on the look and feel of your brand.
What to include in a design invoice?
Start by including a professional header that lists the name of your business, or your own name if you work as a freelancer. The header should be in a large, professional font, or a font that matches your brand; you can also include your logo, if you have one.
Below the header, include contact information for your client, including the name of the person that is handling the account, the street address where the business is located, an email address, and a phone number. You should also include your own contact information if it is not already in the header. Below that, include the date the invoice will be issued, along with the unique invoice number in order to keep track of the invoice.
Next will be the bulk of the document, which will be the detailed list of all of the services completed. Each different service completed should be described in detail. Instead of writing "magazine cover", write "Graphic design for September 2016 cover of Faux Magazine". The more description you can offer, the less likely it is that your client will have questions. This will also help you and your client understand where time and money was spent if they have to pull this invoice out a year from now. Each line item should list the date it was completed, along with the amount of hours it took to complete (if you are charging by the hour, along with the hourly rate), and the total amount owed for that line item.
At the bottom of the list, you will add all the items up to get the subtotal. Then, list any additional fees, taxes, credits, or discounts that will go into the final total. And then add everything up to get the final amount owed; feel free to bold or color this total differently in order to have it stand out against all of the other numbers in the invoice.
Finally, you should include any information about how the client should pay the invoice, whether it's a special address to mail a check to, a PayPal username for an electronic payment, or information on late fees and when the payment is due to avoid fees.
And lastly, some freelance designers like to include a line at the bottom of the invoice where they can sign and date it. Before you send the invoice, double and triple check it to make sure there are no errors – including spelling, grammar, or mathematically. And then, send it off! The sooner you send it, the sooner your client will receive it, and the more likely you are to get paid, sooner.
Once the invoice is sent, make sure you have a method in place for keeping track of it, and all of your other invoices. You'll want to keep a copy of each invoice for yourself in order to file it, and set up some some sort of system to keep track of when the invoice payments are due. If the invoice due date starts to approach and you have not heard from your client, you will have to reach out and get a status on payment. If you still do not hear from your client, you will have to institute late fees, and may even have to look into collections. It is not the most fun part of business, but it is the most necessary part if you want to keep the cash flowing.


The City of Thunder Bay has been asked by the Province to serve as a host community as early as Saturday for residents of Kashechewan First Nation, where the Chief has declared a state of emergency due to the potential for flooding.
The City's response is a coordinated effort in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross, Department of Indigenous Services Canada, Local Health Integration Network, and the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management Ontario (OFMEM). The City's Emergency Operations Control Group met late yesterday afternoon and confirmed support of the request to host and start preparations.
He added that this could change depending on weather and flight availability.
Working closely with OFMEM representatives, the City will continue to monitor the situation and planning is ongoing. A full cost recovery agreement is in place between Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada and the City.
Kashechewan is a First Nation community located near James Bay in Northern Ontario.
PREVIOUS POST Previous post: IMAGINE…. The Dean of our Law School in Thunder Bay has resigned citing systemic racism.


This is one of those rare young adult books where I heard about it organically. Like Twilight it seemed to pop out of nowhere. One day it didn't exist and the next it's the most popular thing in existence. To be fair it does have a badass title. Catchy and intriguing. Unfortunately, the hype failed to live up to my expectations.
In the land of Orisha, magic used to be king. But the real king took away the magic and subjected the practitioners of magic to near slavery and subjugation. They are easily identifiable, with their white hair clashing with the muggles' pure black hair. But a set of ancient artifacts have washed up on shore and any diviner who touches them automatically gets their magic back. Maybe there's a way to bring magic back to the land after all.
Zelie's mother was killed when the king took away magic. She would do anything to bring magic back and exact revenge. But is she willing to protect the king's daughter? Who stole the magical artifact in question? Now, they must travel across Orisha to the sacred temple to perform the sacred ritual to bring the magic back.
If that description sounded dull, imagine reading a 500 page book filled with it. But compliments first. Orisha, being loosely based on Africa and African mythology, is super unique on the YA market. Which is a total shame because there are so many unique magical histories around the world beyond Harry Potter. Anyways, that's my main selling point for Children. Exploring a world I don't feel like a thousand fantasy authors have tread before. There's no pointy eared blonde haired haughty elves in this one.
Sadly, there's little else. Although the world is quite unique, it never feels truly explored. I never felt like I got to know the land of Orisha or the magic that once inhabited it. It's a fetch quest, bring this here, do this, and return. Characters pop in and out seemingly at random. The four main characters: Zelie, Tzain, Amari, and Inan, are essentially interchangeable. I had trouble identifying who was actually talking. Inan has the most struggles, given the only semblance of a character arc. Whereas Tzain might as well not be there at all. His plot contribution amounts to "I know a guy who can help." And, as with many young adult novels, the characters travel intensive amounts of distances without difficulty. The map made Orisha look large, but when they walk from one side of the area to the other in like 10 days, I think the country is the size of Connecticut.
Coupled with some romances (one develops in the matter of hours) poor character decisions immediately after learning a lesson about NOT doing that same thing, Children of Blood and Bone ends up being underwhelming. But it has gotten wide and high praise from multiple sources so maybe I'm just a fuddy-duddy.

Q: (dynamic) Multiple spinners state/city I have to develop an android view such that i have 2 spinner controls in it, one for state and the second for cities.
My question is, how can I populate the city spinner automatically whenever a state is selected?
What's the logic behind it?
My string.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="spinner_category"></string>
<string-array name="category_state">
    <item >kerala</item>
    <item >tamil nadu</item>
    <item >Andra Pradesh</item>
    <item >karnataka</item>
</string-array>
</resources>

My main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="10dip"
            android:text="Select : "/>
        <Spinner android:layout_width="250dip"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/spinner_state"/>
    </LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="10dip"
            android:text="Select : "/>
        <Spinner android:layout_width="250dip"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/spinner_state"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

And my activity.java file:
package com.converter;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Spinner;

public class ConverterActivity extends Activity
{
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Spinner spinner_s = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner_state);
        ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> category_adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                this, R.array.category_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        category_adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        spinner_s.setAdapter(category_adapter);

    }
}

A: Here is the correct way dear....
I had wrote all the needed states and cities in string_arays....
like
<string-array name="State_array">
            <item >s1</item>
            <item >s2</item>
            <item >s3</item>
            <item >s4</item>
    </string-array>
//then cities array for each states, like
<string-array name="State1Cities_array">
            <item >c11</item>
            <item >c12</item>
            <item >c15</item>
            <item >c13</item>
    </string-array>
<string-array name="State2Cities_array">
            <item >c1</item>
            <item >c2</item>
            <item >c5</item>
            <item >c3</item>
    </string-array>

// and so on for all the states

then in main xml added 2 spinners for both. i belive all of u can do i simple, na?
then i have my main.xml as...
spinner_states_activity = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner_states_main);
        spinner_states_activity.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
        adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                this, R.array.state_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.myspinner);
// my layout for spinners u can use urs or defalut. k?
        spinner_states_activity.setAdapter(adapter);

spinner_cities_activity = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner_cities_main);
        spinner_cities_activity.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

//and in function onItemSelected

        int pos,pos2;
        pos = spinner_states_activity.getSelectedItemPosition();
        int iden=parent.getId();
        if(iden==R.id.spinner_states_main)
        {
            pos2 = 0;
            switch (pos)
            {
                case 0: unit_adapter= ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                            this, R.array.States1Cities_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
                        break;
                case 1: unit_adapter= ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                            this, R.array.States3Cities_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
                        break;
                        // all the StatesxCities entires....
                default:

Just check a look and do it by yourself...
Hope this will helps u a little...

A: Example:
    Spinner city=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.citySpinner);
    Spinner state=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.stateSpinner);

    final ArrayList<String> state_options=new ArrayList<String>();
    final ArrayList<String> city_options=new ArrayList<String>();

    state_options.add("state_1");
    state_options.add("state_2");
    state_options.add("state_3");
    // Here you can also get a cursor and add Strings as options to state_options instead of what i have done

    city_options.add("city_1_state_1");
    city_options.add("city_2_state_1");
    city_options.add("city_3_state_1");
    // Here you can also get a cursor and add Strings as options to city_options instead of what i have done

    ArrayAdapter<String> cityAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,city_options);
    city.setAdapter(cityAdapter);

    ArrayAdapter<String> stateAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,state_options);
    state.setAdapter(stateAdapter);

    state.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View view,
                        int position, long id) {

            String stateName=state_options.get(position).toString();
                resetCity(stateName);
        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {

        }
   });

Now,
public void resetCity(String stateName)
{
      city_options.removeAll(city_options);//i haven't checked this.
      if(stateName.eqauls("state_1"))
      {
          city_option.add("city_1_state_1");
          city_options.add("city_2_state_1");
          city_options.add("city_3_state_1");
          //you can also get a cursor and add Strings as options to city_options instead of what i have done
      }
      else if(stateName.eqauls("state_2"))
      {
          city_option.add("city_1_state_2");
          city_options.add("city_2_state_2");
          city_options.add("city_3_state_2");
          // you can also get a cursor and add Strings as options to city_options instead of what i have done
      }
      else
      {
          city_option.add("city_1_state_3");
          city_options.add("city_2_state_3");
          city_options.add("city_3_state_3");
          //you can also get a cursor and add Strings as options to city_options instead of what i have done
      }

      ArrayAdapter<String> cityAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,city_options);
      city.setAdapter(cityAdapter);
}

This is the simplest example.You can set your city_options and state_options from your database.and then you can use it for populating accoring spinners.

A: You have to do the folloowing step

*

*create data source of cities (either database or in hashmap("state","city")).

*set setOnItemSelectedListener(listener) to spinner containing states.

*onItemSelected() method of the above listner fetch the data from datasouce created in the first step and attach it to city spinner.
thats it.

A: public class ConverterActivity extends Activity {

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Spinner citySpinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner_city);
        final ArrayAdapter<String> cityAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, new String[]); // starts empty
        city_adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        spinner_city.setAdapter(city_adapter);

        Spinner categorySpinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner_state);
        final ArrayAdapter<String> categoryAdapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                this, R.array.category_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        categoryAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        categorySpinner.setAdapter(category_adapter);
        categorySpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                String selectedState = parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
                cityAdapter.clear(); // remove previous entries
                // look up your cities for the state selectedState, using your own method
                cityAdapter.add(the cities you want); // do that in a loop for all your cities
                cityAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            };
            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
                // do nothing
            }
        });
    }
}

NB: coded in the StackOverflow editor, there might be some syntax errors :)
To lookup the cities for each state, use any method you want: you can define them in multiple string-array resources, or get them from a database, etc.

Boeing Breaks Ground on Second 787 Assembly Line in North Charleston, SC
Boeing facility expands production capability and increases footprint in South Carolina
The image is an artist rendering of the future facility for the second line courtesy of BE&K / Turner and BRPH Architects-Engineers. Production on the facility is expected to begin in July 2011.
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) today held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction for the second final assembly site for the 787 Dreamliner program at its Boeing Charleston facility. The facility also will have the capability to support the testing and delivery of airplanes.
"Today's event marks the beginning of an expansion plan that will strengthen the 787 program and allow us to continue building on the footprint we have established in South Carolina with Boeing Charleston and Global Aeronautica," said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Locating the second line in North Charleston will allow Boeing to successfully compete in the aerospace market and grow for the long-term benefit of many stakeholders."
Today's groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Albaugh; South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford; Sen. Lindsey Graham; Sen. Jim DeMint; Rep. Henry Brown; Rep. James Clyburn; State Sen. Hugh Leatherman; State Sen. Glenn McConnell; State Rep., Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell; Charleston County Council Chairman Teddie Pryor, Sr.; North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey and other key officials from South Carolina. Anita Zucker, chairperson and CEO of The InterTech Group, Inc., served as master of ceremonies for the event.
Boeing Charleston performs fabrication, assembly and systems installation for the 787 aft fuselage sections. Global Aeronautica, which is 50 percent owned by Boeing, is responsible for joining and integrating 787 fuselage sections from other structural partners.
"We look forward to expanding our capability in South Carolina through our existing site, while maintaining our commitment to the Puget Sound region where Boeing Commercial Airplanes remains headquartered," said Albaugh. "Puget Sound will continue to design and produce airplanes, including the 787."
The 787 Dreamliner will be more efficient, quieter and have lower emissions than other airplanes while offering passengers greater comfort and the convenience of direct, nonstop flights between more cities around the world. Fifty-five customers around the world have ordered 840 787s since the program was launched in April 2004, making the Dreamliner the fastest-selling new commercial jetliner in history. The 787 family of airplanes will carry 210 to 330 passengers on flights up to 8,500 nautical miles (15,750 km).

Vandermeer's View: Start Spreading the News
Marc Vandermeer
Voice of the Houston Texans
If you're wondering if the Texans would 'take the Jets lightly' or if this was a 'trap game,' let me remind you that it's week 15. There are three games left and only six teams have been eliminated from playoff contention going into the weekend.
This is one of the things that makes the NFL great. A little over 1/3 of the league gets into the post season. Yet so many spots stay open down to the wire.
One of the teams that happens to be eliminated is this week's opponent. Yet they played their guts out in a win at Buffalo last weekend in come-from-behind fashion. Buffalo plays defense almost as well as anyone in the NFL and the Jets made some key offensive plays down the stretch.
I point this out to create a written hypothetical dramatization of Bill O'Brien showing his team every clutch Jets play from the season. New York has known that this isn't a likely playoff team for a while. So they are in a one-week-at-a-time mode in which every game is like a bowl.
Bull's Eye: Best shots from Week 14
Check out the best Week 14 images from Texans team photographer Zach Tarrant. Presented by Houston Methodist.
An image from the Dec. 9, 2018 regular season home game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Texans lost 21-24.

Houston Texans Updated Week 15 Game Status Report
Know Your Foe: New York Jets
First Glance: Texans at Jets
This Saturday will be no different as there is nothing the Gotham Green would like more than to make the Texans leave the metropolitan area miserable.
You want examples of the teams playing well despite being out of it? How about the Jets' neighbors, the Giants, who will host the Titans in the same building 24 hours later? They are finding a rhythm and, by the way, you'll be rooting for them to help crush the dreams of Tennessee on Sunday.
Here are some examples of the Texans themselves dousing opponent's post season bids in years past - 2004 at Jacksonville, week 16, the Texans blanked the Jags to keep them home for January. In 2008, the Bears visited NRG Stadium on the final day of the season and Houston ended their playoff hopes. And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
The big thing about this game will be to protect Deshaun Watson and get the ground game rolling again. Lost in rubble of Sunday's loss to the Colts was that the Texans started to move the line of scrimmage better in the second half. They outscored the Colts 14-7 but ultimately couldn't get over the hump.
They need to a bounce back game stat! And they'll get the opportunity in a place where great performers yearn to shine. The curtain rises at 3:30 pm Saturday.

Is is possible to have multiple depots in a single user's SVK configuration. Of course, you need to have at least one depot in order to use SVK, and after SVK was first installed you created this depot before doing anything else. This is the depot that you have been using throughout the book up to this point, and is called the Default Depot.
The default depot is special because it has no DEPOTNAME. Or rather, its DEPOTNAME is the empty string. By default its REPOPATH is $SVKROOT/local.
For many users, the default depot is all that is needed. However, some users find it useful to be able to create additional named depots.
You can create as many additional named depots as you like. Depots are created using svk depotmap command.
At this point you may be wondering why you'd want to use multiple depots. After all, a depot is just a Subversion repository, and that means you are free to structure your depot in any way you wish, with the root folder perhaps containing a folder for each project you're working on, with each project possibly containing a mirror for that project.
Indeed, many people do use SVK just like this: with everything placed in the default depot, and often never even realizing that it is possible to have more than one depot.
Imagine that you are mirroring two repositories: an Open Source project and also a project for your employer. You might want to keep the two mirrors in separate depots so that the two projects can't affect each other.
You are free to create depots anywhere you have permission to. You may want to create a depot on a partition that has a lot of space, for example if you are mirroring a particularly large repository.
A project in its own depot can easily be thrown away completely without having any effect on other projects. If the projects were in the same depot you could of course delete the relevant paths in the depot, but the history of the deleted paths would remain, which may be precisely what you are trying to remove.
You may want to use different depots for different purposes. For example, you might have one depot for mirrors, and another for your personal depot containing your local repository that only you commit to.
If you are using the fsfs Subversion filesystem for your depot, it is possible to host a depot on a remote filesystem mounted via NFS. This allows you to share the same depot with other developers.
Why not use multiple depots?
While using multiple depots has many advantages, there are a few things that you should consider before using them. Different depots really are completely separate entities: you can't create a branch in one depot that is a copy of a directory in another, and you can't do merging between them.

Q: Minimum postfix config to send mails to a smtps server I'm trying to send mails with python so I configured a postfix server locally. The python part seems to work as my mails reach the smtpd server. After that, postfix seems to correctly query the MX record and tries to connect the right dns name.
The problem here seems to be that my postfix server never tries port 465, only 25, fails as the port is closed, then give up until the retry timer resets.
Here is my /etc/postfix/main.cf file. I totally know that I'm not fully aware of what I'm doing
# Debian specific:  Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name.  The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

readme_directory = no

# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
# Optional, if you want this postfix to use TLS when acting as a client
smtp_use_tls=yes
smtp_tls_security_level = may
smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes

smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination
myhostname = yamatetsu
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
mydestination = yamatetsu, localhost.localdomain, , localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = localhost

Again, all I want is to get my python client to send mail to arbitrary destinations, some of which have port 25 closed. The python client seems to connect through port 25, but I would like postfix to figure out how to reach remote servers itself. I do not want to receive mail and I care little about security since everything will be on a single machine behind a NAT.
I'm running ubuntu 14.04 and I installed with apt-get. I also tried to use self generated tls certificates with openssl, but since the line is prefixed with smtpd I'm not sure it is mandatory or not. I'm not even sure how to see if it is correctly parsed or not.

A: Looks like the configuration works, but my ISP is blocking port 25. Best part of it is that they can't seem to do anything about it since they are reselling a cable trunk.


If you believe in the world only to the extent that you've seen, you've never experienced anything.
I had found curiosity, and I didn't and don't want to let it go.
It's a little too late for goodbyes, but that doesn't mean we can't try.

Ooh…That Feeling of Spain!
by Amalia Maloney Del RiegoLast updated Nov 13, 2018 | Published on Feb 3, 2017Living in Spain Series, Spain
← How to Buy Property in Spain - Interview with Valencia Property Potríes, Wonderful to Visit Among Less Frequented Spanish Villages →
Believe it or not, there was a time in my life when I wasn't aware of Spain. I can't imagine now what that was like, because for years now it feels like such a deep part of me. I've been pondering this allure of Spain more this week, as I think about my mother returning here after months being in the US. It takes me back to how I felt about Spain when I couldn't be here. Do you know what I mean? That sweet, substantial pull, like a gravity all its own, tugging at your heart-strings to return…ooh…what is that feeling of Spain?
First Encountering Spain
I first paid more attention to Spain when it became of personal interest to me. Family history interest, that is. During my early twenties I started learning more about my family history that originates in Asturias, one of the verdant northern regions of Spain. When the opportunity came about to obtain my own Spanish Nationality and have dual citizenship, I dove headlong into the process, and along with that more family research.
A Mother's Feeling of Spain
Above Image – My mother performing for a documentary.
My mom has since conducted a lot of family research, providing an invaluable and fascinating treasure trove for me and my brothers. She had her own love affair with Spain, coming for her first time in 2011 on a one-way ticket to Barcelona. Good thing it was one-way, because she never did need that return flight! She stayed and fell in love with an Extremeño, and for years now has been living with him in the peaceful, charming village of Higuera la Real in rural Extremadura.
She's got her lovely artist studio he built her in their house doblao (like an attic, but way nicer) and they renovated his home together. It's so cozy, charming, and authentically Spanish. A beautiful space that feels wonderful inside and out.
My mother feels connected to Spain through her father who was from Tuña in Asturias. They were very close so I am understanding more and more how strong the pull of this land must feel for her.
The Allure of Spain
Even before I got my Spanish Nationality, I made my first visit to Spain. It was in 2010, when I spent the summer in Barcelona's beach neighborhood of Barceloneta. It was a fantastic experience. While some personal things occurred that were stressful and unpleasant, I still hold only the good memories of great times, and especially of how Spain latched ahold of me.
Since that time, the feeling of Spain was with me. When I left and returned to the US, I would be somewhere or doing something and all of the sudden would feel a tender, endearing sensation right in my center. It held with it familiar feelings that I came to know as Spain.
Sometimes it was the smell of woodsmoke from a blazing fireplace, or a tantalizing glass of deep red Spanish wine, or maybe hearing Spanish guitar music…and I would feel transported. Even if I was standing in downtown Denver, I would suddenly feel like I was in Spain. Or like Spain was there with me. Maybe similar to feeling homesick? Yet it felt better, nicer than that. It was at times a little sad and bittersweet, yet endearing.
To Feel Spain in Your Blood
Above Image – Tuña in the region of Asturias, where my Spanish family was from.
Over the years, I made three more trips to Spain, and one of them lasted 5 months. With each trip I felt more and more enchanted with this country and more drawn to connect with my family history. After each of those visits, I would feel Spain so deeply when I was not there. I wanted so much to return and live in Spain as my home base for traveling the world.
Now here I am, living in Spain. It will be two years in June and I am so happy and grateful that I am at home in Spain. What has happened to the feel of Spain? Oh, it's still with me. It's simply evolved. It's one of the most wonderful feelings of fulfillment and delight I have experienced in this life so far. Each day, I get to feel Spain; be with her and see her, walk with her and learn from her. I get to travel Spain, discover, enjoy and get to know her more.
Above Image – A mural in Tuña, Asturias, telling the story of General Rafael Del Riego.
We hear about how things can run in our blood… I never paid much attention to that saying before. Yet it is true for me, because I've come to discover with Spain, that she runs in my blood. There is truly a deep connection for me with this country and my family ancestry. Their connection with Spain must have been so deep for its energy to have passed down to me now; to have drawn me back. Turns out, that generations of my family were very intertwined with Spain. We're talking historic novel / amazing movie-line stuff here! As a writer, I've got a lot of incredible content to work with.
Spain for Me, Spain for You
I do feel Spain. I feel Spain in my blood; in the deepest parts of me. There's no question as to the fact that we're part of each other. Even though I wasn't born here, I feel like being here is a return to Spain. I don't expect it to be the same Spain of my ancestors or to owe me anything. Spain is my heritage and I'm glad to be changing and growing, carrying on with her.

Chapter 9: The Most Confidential Knowledge
Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Bhagavad-gita As It Is 9.28
subhasubha-phalair evam
mokshyase karma-bandhanaih
sannyasa-yoga-yuktatma
vimukto mam upaishyasi
subha -- from auspicious; asubha -- and inauspicious; phalaih -- results; evam -- thus; mokshyase -- you will become free; karma -- of work; bandhanaih -- from the bondage; sannyasa -- of renunciation; yoga -- the yoga; yukta-atma -- having the mind firmly set on; vimuktah -- liberated; mam -- to Me; upaishyasi -- you will attain.
In this way you will be freed from bondage to work and its auspicious and inauspicious results. With your mind fixed on Me in this principle of renunciation, you will be liberated and come to Me.
PURPORT
One who acts in Krishna consciousness under superior direction is called yukta. The technical term is yukta-vairagya. This is further explained by Rupa Gosvami as follows:
anasaktasya vishayan
yatharham upayunjatah
nirbandhah krishna-sambandhe
yuktam vairagyam ucyate
(Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu 2.255)
Rupa Gosvami says that as long as we are in this material world we have to act; we cannot cease acting. Therefore if actions are performed and the fruits are given to Krishna, then that is called yukta-vairagya. Actually situated in renunciation, such activities clear the mirror of the mind, and as the actor gradually makes progress in spiritual realization he becomes completely surrendered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore at the end he becomes liberated, and this liberation is also specified. By this liberation he does not become one with the brahmajyoti, but rather enters into the planet of the Supreme Lord. It is clearly mentioned here: mam upaishyasi, "he comes to Me," back home, back to Godhead. There are five different stages of liberation, and here it is specified that the devotee who has always lived his lifetime here under the direction of the Supreme Lord, as stated, has evolved to the point where he can, after quitting this body, go back to Godhead and engage directly in the association of the Supreme Lord.
Anyone who has no interest but to dedicate his life to the service of the Lord is actually a sannyasi. Such a person always thinks of himself as an eternal servant, dependent on the supreme will of the Lord. As such, whatever he does, he does it for the benefit of the Lord. Whatever action he performs, he performs it as service to the Lord. He does not give serious attention to the fruitive activities or prescribed duties mentioned in the Vedas. For ordinary persons it is obligatory to execute the prescribed duties mentioned in the Vedas, but although a pure devotee who is completely engaged in the service of the Lord may sometimes appear to go against the prescribed Vedic duties, actually it is not so.
It is said, therefore, by Vaishnava authorities that even the most intelligent person cannot understand the plans and activities of a pure devotee. The exact words are tanra vakya, kriya, mudra vijneha na bujhaya (Caitanya-caritamrita, Madhya 23.39). A person who is thus always engaged in the service of the Lord or is always thinking and planning how to serve the Lord is to be considered completely liberated at present, and in the future his going back home, back to Godhead, is guaranteed. He is above all materialistic criticism, just as Krishna is above all criticism.

The theme of the baby shower is LAMBS. So I had to feature a lamb.
The baby is a girl. So they had to be PINK.
She wanted the first half of the 23 Psalm on them.
I did the basic designing in Photoshop. Then, I brought everything over to the Silhouette. I did this project assembly line style and in several stages. Where is my signature sparkle, you ask? I went over the sun and the lambs' curly top with my Wink of Stella glitter brush. :) Yeah...I had to fit it in somewhere! Finally, I bundled up the bookmarks, tied them with baker's twine and called it DONE!
Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate the visit. Have a wonderful weekend!
Wow, Barb! These are lovely! You rose to the challenge extremely well. Love the images you selected and the font. I'm sure the mother-to-be will be thrilled with your creation. So glad you got your sparkle in there, too. Have a beautiful Easter!
These are awesome. Love the sunshine image and the little lamb is super duper cute. :) Thank you so much for joining us at the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Blog!
Your book marks are darling and sure to be cherished. The design and composition are beautiful. Love the sweet little lamb!

Well, i wanted to make a backup from my Noah but i pressed the wrong button ! Instead of creating a backup of my Noah i did restore a backup (thought i dont know which one cause i never made any backup). Anyway after that my Noah was not booting anymore so i used the Flash utility. Guess what ... The unit is booting but i need a key for every single synth ???
So i have sent 2 mails to sonic-core about 9 days ago but no reply. Is there any way i can fix the problem without sonic core ?
I do not think there is any workaround.
Making a backup was wise ... too bad you made a mistake.
As you succeed to upload the NOAH firmware once again, you got to the point where none of us could help you as you definetly needs the keyfile.
I feel the best would be to wait a bit for an answer from SC.
pm me with your email address. i'll see what i can find out.
don't worry. you can get the keyfile.
I didnt expect a reply so fast.
BTW, i used to own a pulsar 2 card in the past and i missed the quality of the plugins so i bought the NOAH while i am saving for an xite !
A big thanks to Gary and Ralf, Amazing support if you ask me considering the Noah is not supported anymore .
sovietpop wrote: Problem solve !!
no, they'll semd it. give a few more days. if you don't get it try again.
S|C has NO connection with the Noah. the keyfiles are sent as a goodwill service, but the Noah is not supported in any way. what happens is that v4 requests and Noah requests go into a folder that gets worked on when it's slow. obviously paying customers of Sonic|Core must be taken care of first. the problem is that there are only a few people at Sonic|Core and they've been building and shipping XITEs lately. also, there have been a number of v5.1 purchases. since there's only one guy in charge of keyfiles, he probably hasn't been able to get to your request. if you want, you can write in again to be sure.
garyb wrote: a few people at Sonic|Core been building and shipping XITEs lately.
Thats a good sign - plenty of XITE's shipping Do we detect some (at least modest) momentum in uptake (due to SDK package deal or otherwise) ?
it's still small potatoes, but there's progress, slowly.

The four Celtic festivals: between tradition and modernity
Laurine Tiran
Ancient Irish history revolved around four major Celtic festivals, but foreigners still don't know much about them.
Irish folklore is often romanticised in popular culture: we imagine a very green field with druids and lovely fairies, and strongly linked to nature. It is a stereotype, a part of the country's mythical traditions and a sort of historical background, all related to the Celts.
As their name says, the Celtic festivals come from Celtic traditions and customs. Today, when we think about the Celtic nations, we only see regions around Ireland, Great Britain (mostly Scotland, Wales, and some islands), and French Britany. But history is broader than that: the Celts come from Central Europe.
7 English words with Irish origins
Knowing Ireland: do foreigners know the country well?
What are these festivals?
The four Celtic festivals, named Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh (the spelling can change according to the source), come from ancestral Celtic tradition, but what are they really?
"We don't know when they were created but there is no doubt they are multi-millenia," Frederic Armao, Associate Professor at the University of Toulon, France says. "They are at least 2000 years old". Indeed, there are various references to these Celtic festivals in ancient texts.
Today, they are celebrated on the 1 November, 1 February, 1 May and 1 August, but these can be considered approximative dates because of the troubles between the Old Style calendar and the New Style.
These festivals come from the celebration of the passing of seasons. "They are known as cross-quarter festivals," George, a first-year student in Celtic Civilisation, Folklore and History at University College Cork explains. In the Celtic tradition, the year was divided into eight main parts: the solstices and equinoxes marked the centres of the seasons, with the cross-quarter points as the turning points.
"It is not that humans happened to decide that x time would be great craic for a feist [party]," Goerge says, "but rather that the natural cycle of life and death provided instances to which humans assigned meanings and traditions."
Prof. Armao points out that if these festivals are often called the "First Festivals", it is only an approximation. Moreover, he explains that "a number of medieval manuscripts confirm the association between these festivals and Celtic deities or mythological tribes."
Indeed, if the four festivals are strongly linked to the agrarian cycle, the professor says that they were "total manifestation", reuniting the whole society. "If links with Celtic deities are blurry, because of the lack of sources, they seemed to have been strong".
These festivals have evolved through the history of Ireland, being impacted by the Christianisation of the island, and the various cultural exchanges that have occurred over the millenia. Later in Irish history, these festivals, and more particularly Beltane and Samhain, have been used and exploited for identity purposes, related to Irishness and the Celtic identity of Ireland.
The differences between Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh
Samhain, 1st of November.
It is the beginning of the Celtic calendar and of wintertime, a legal festival with a smaller religious aspect, and it is pronounced "sow-in".
George explains that "it is known that the Dagda, one of the 'greatest' gods, lies with the Morrigan, the goddess of battle and war and sovereignty. Their union allows the birth of the new year." They add that "it is at this time that people bring the animals in from the summer grazing and gather in homes and forts".
"It's the time when the worlds of gods, dead and fairies met the human world," Prof. Armao says. George develops this idea: "Samhain is acknowledged as a time when the veil between worlds is thin, and people are warned to be wary of those they meet, lest they fall victim to a fairy trick or some such. It is noted as being a time when the doors to the fairy forts are all open". Prof Armao clarifies that in Irish folklore, the fairies are mostly harmful and dangerous creatures.
Imbolc, 1st of February.
Pronounced "im-bulk", this festival is less famous and marks the beginning of spring. George qualifies it as a "fertility festival". It is linked to the goddess Brigit in Celtic folklore but also Saint Brigid, in Catholic folklore. Brigid's crosses are used to bless houses on this day.
"It's the period of ewe's lactation and there are also a lot of meteorological superstitions," Prof Armao adds. George explains that "there was the belief that Brigid would pass over the households and give her blessing to any house that had a cross, which translated into healthy cattle and a good crop."
Beltane (or Bealtaine), 1st of May.
"This is the opposite of Samhain on the calendar", George notices. Pronounced "bel-tayne" or "be-yowel-ten-ah", this festival corresponds, just like Samhain, to a period when this world and the Celtic Otherworld are close. "Fear and hope are at their peak," Prof. Armao explains. This festival is linked to a general gathering in Ancient Ireland on Uisneach Hill, known as the "mythological and sacred centre of Ireland".
The festival is linked to the agrarian world with what Prof. Armao describes as "purifying fires". "The main action undertaken at this time was driving the cattle in between fires," George says. "This was done because of the superstition that it protected them from evil- it actually worked in that it burnt off ticks and diseases (something to do with the smoke) and that kept the cattle healthy."

Lughnasadh, 1st of August.
It is pronounced "Lu-na-sah". Even if this festival is not directly linked to a particular part of the agricultural cycle, "it celebrates the harvest being brought in and is traditionally when laws were written and legal matters resolved", George explains. Indeed, one may argue that in cases of legal dispute, farmers were too busy with the harvest to deal with it, so they waited for the harvest to be done to address the problem.
"The matchmaking festivals also traditionally happen around then," George also notes. Prof. Armao adds that this festival is linked to the god Lugh. A general gathering was possible on Tailtiu Hill in Ancient Ireland. "It was an important festival for royalty and probably the most joyful one."
The Celtic festivals today: transformation and modern celebration
"The Gaelic version of these four festivals hadn't evolved a lot during the last two millennia until Ireland became more modern," Prof. Armao explains. "The majority of Irish farmers and rural people celebrated them scrupulously until the first half of the 20th century, even in a more Christianised version".
However, he notices that recently neo-pagan groups adapted and modernised these celebrations to use them, by adding new ideas, influences and tradition from Germanic and Scandinavian cultures.
Samhain's modern version is probably the most famous today: it is Halloween, after the Celtic festival was imported into the United States by Irish immigrants, and then transformed. Imbolc, under the name Saint Brigid's Day, is also celebrated nowadays with blessings believed to bring luck and health. Some scholars also make links between these celebrations and Candlemas.

For the modern celebration related to ancient folklore, we can quote the Fire Festival of Bealtaine on Uisneach Hill, that Prof Aramo describes in an article in which he details the various kinds of celebration held in 2017. He notices that the fire was lit by the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, bringing a political aspect to the celebration, but also claiming the importance of Celtic culture for the Irish people.
Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh are a strong part of Irish folklore, history, and culture. If they have lost their importance through the ages, they still survive thanks to their evolution. And you, did you know about these four Celtic festivals? Let us know in the comment section!

Each year, seasonal influenza causes increased morbidity, decreased work productivity, increased work load on doctors, associated healthcare costs and in some cases, hospitalisation and even mortality. Currently, most European primary care services promote self-care for patients with influenza-like illness (ILI), while in USA and Japan, antiviral treatment with neuraminidase inhibitors is common.
When reflecting on the H1N1 pandemic, primary care clinicians and public health physicians often ask whether the liberal use of oseltamivir was justified and whether diagnosis based on symptoms, as opposed to point-of-care testing to guide treatment, is the most cost-effective strategy. While there is some evidence from trials sponsored by pharmaceutical companies of the effectiveness of neuraminidase inhibitors in reducing the illness duration of patients infected with influenza and perhaps in decreasing complications, the evidence is not convincing and a number of questions still remain.
The primary objective of the ALIC4E trial is to determine whether adding antiviral treatment to best usual primary care is effective in reducing time to return to usual daily activity. It is also investigating the clinical cost and effectiveness of the addition of antivirals to usual care initially oseltamivir. The study is also looking at sub-groups and how they respond to different treatments allowing analysis throughout the trial. A qualitative research component will review barriers to recruitment in infectious disease research.
ALICE4E is a large-scale, international, publically-funded pragmatic, unblinded, individually-randomised controlled trial, being conducted in primary care in 16 European countries simultaneously, including in Ireland. Recruitment is taking place at general practices in each country during the officially-declared flu season, over three years, with a target recruitment of over 4,000 patients. In Ireland five general practices are involved in recruitment.
A major milestone was reached during the third week of January 2018 when the 2000th patient was recruited into the trial.
Patients presenting with flu-like symptoms at the practices involved in the trial who agree to participate in this study are randomised to either intervention or control group. The control group receive best usual primary care and antiviral treatment is added to best usual primary care in the intervention group. Participants then complete a patient diary for 14 days, recording their return to normal activity levels.
The trial is sponsored by the University of Oxford and is funded by the European Union. The ALIC4E trial is being delivered as work package of the Platform for European Preparedness Against (Re-) emerging Epidemics (PREPARE) consortium grant. PREPARE is a European Commission funded network for the rapid and efficient delivery of harmonised, large-scale clinical research studies on infectious diseases. The Health Research Board, Primary Care Clinical Trials Network Ireland is coordinating the Irish component of the trial during season 3.


ENID, Okla. – The largest indoor Corvette show in Oklahoma returns to the Chisholm Trail Expo Center when Corvette Expo XXVII happens April 6, 2019. Get out to see the best Corvettes from around the region up close and personal. Choose your favorite as they are judged in several award categories including Best of Show.
The event begins at 9am and runs through 4pm. Judged classes include Class Awards, Presidents Choice, Best Interior, Best Paint, Best Engine and Best of Show. Attendees will also be able to participate in a silent auction.
Admission is $5 for adults, $1 for children under 12 and military in uniform get in free. Bring your camera and love of sports cars while enjoying dozens of Corvettes in one location. Money raised goes to local charities. 111 W. Purdue.
This event is presented by the Corvettes of Enid. The club was founded in October of 1992 by a group of individuals who were interested in the maintenance, preservation and restoration of America's only true two seat sports car and who just wants to have fun with their cars. The group is interested in educating Corvette owners about the heritage of their car and helping them obtain the camaraderie and maximum benefit from Corvette ownership.
Dozens of Corvettes in one location!
Check out the awesome interiors.
One of my most favorite cars that I've owned was a 1974 Millie Miglia Red, Convertible Stingray Corvette. I actually showed it with the Enid Corvette Club a couple of times.
A vintage Corvette at the Boy Scout Car Show.
Yellow Corvette doing the Van Buren Cruise in Enid.


I bought a new harmonica at the airport but they wouldn't let me play it on the airplane.
They let baby's cry and big fat men fart us out of oxygen but no harmonica playing.
Especially, no handing it out the window and allowing the air to play it.
Things have gotten weird since 911.

Involvement of 3p Deletions in Sporadic and Hereditary Forms of Renal Cell Carcinoma
Ferenc Boldog, Kristina Arheden, Stephan Imreh, Bodil Strombeck, Laszlo Szekely, Rikard Erlandsson, Zoltan Marcsek, Janos Sumegi, Felix Mitelman, George Klein
Deletions of the short arm of chromosome 3 and associated allele losses have been reported in the majority of sporadic renal cell carcinomas (RCC). On the basis of the combined cytogenetic and molecular data, it is reasonable to assume that a putative RCC locus, which contributes to tumor development by its loss, is located telomerically of the D3F15S2 site. Using H3E4, a D3F1SS2‐specific probe, we have isolated a cDNA clone (c1.4–2), and a sequence comparison revealed that the cDNA clone corresponds to the human acyl‐peptide hydrolase gene. The gene is fairly universally expressed, but in RCC biopsies its expression is severely reduced, compared to the normal kidney. Cl.4–2 was used for in situ hybridization on metaphase chromosomes prepared from an Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) transformed lymphoblastoid cell line, derived from a t(3;8) (p14.2;q24.1) carrying member of the RCC family described by Cohen et al. in 1979 (N Engl J Med: 301:592–595). Carriers of this translocation regularly develop RCC by middle age. We now report that D3F15S2 is localized on the telomeric side of the constitutional breakpoint, in 3p21. The region of 3p affected by this familial translocation is thus not identical with the region of 3p most frequently deleted in sporadic RCC.
