The first patient has been dosed in the Phase 1/2 trial testing AGEN2034, Agenus' new PD-1 inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors and cervical cancer. The trial is currently enrolling participants.
"The entry of our PD-1 antagonist into the clinic is key to our strategy to pursue combination therapies," Garo H. Armen, PhD, chairman and CEO of Agenus, said in a press release. "PD-1 is a clinically validated target, and to combine it with our CTLA-4 directed antibody is the backbone of Agenus' combination strategy.
"We also intend to pursue combinations of PD-1 and CTLA-4 antibodies with our novel portfolio of other checkpoint antibodies as well as our neoantigen cancer vaccines," he said.
AGEN2034 is an antibody targeting the PD-1 molecule, a receptor expressed at the surface of activated T-cells. When the receptor interacts with the PD-L1 or PD-L2 molecules, the activity of T-cells is neutralized. Cancer cells often hijack this system to prevent T-cells from recognizing and killing them, making PD-1 antibodies a revolutionizing cancer treatment.
The ongoing Phase 1/2 trial (NCT03104699), is an open-label, dose escalation trial that will be conducted in two parts. In part 1, researchers will assess the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of ascending doses of AGEN2034 in patients with metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors. Each dose cohort will include three patients.
The Phase 2 part of the trial the study will expand to include patients with recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic cervical cancer patients, whose disease progressed after a platinum-containing doublet, such as Taxol (paclitaxel)/Platinol (cisplatin), or Taxol/Platinol/Avastin (bevacizumab).
The study's primary goal is to assess the dose-limiting toxicity of AGEN2034 and its maximum tolerated dose, as well as the best overall response. Secondary objectives are progression-free survival, duration of response, overall survival, and the dynamics of the drug in the patient's blood. Preliminary safety and effectiveness data are expected within the next nine to 12 months.
"Immune checkpoint antibodies targeting PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 have become the mainstay of I-O combinations," said Jean-Marie Cuillerot, MD, chief medical officer of Agenus. "Co-targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in combination with CTLA-4 has shown a near doubling of clinical efficacy in certain indications.

Hunt down the BEST prices for Campervan and Motorhome holiday hire in Inverness. Find amazing RV, Camper Van or Motorhome hire deals in Inverness Scotland – brought to you by Campervanhire.com and Outdoorsy – one of the world's most experienced and trusted Motorhome Booking Agents, booking thousands of Motorhome holidays each year!
If you want to find your dream campervan/RV or motorhome to hire so that your Scottish holiday is the best it can be, you're going to need to do some research! All around Inverness, there are some great sights to see and places to explore, but that means being aware of some of the most important boxes to tick when it comes to choosing the best motorhome for you. Whether you hire an RV, campervan, or motorhome will depend on many factors, but the more that you know about the kind of holiday you're hoping for, the easier it will be to narrow down your choices so that your Inverness camping adventure is as perfect as possible. Here's what you need to know before heading off to this cultural hotspot.
Some of the roads around Inverness can be narrower than expected, so weight could be an important factor if this is your first time driving here. Bigger isn't always better when it comes to picking the right vehicle for your motorhome holiday. You're going to have budget considerations, so hunt down the BEST prices for Camper van and Motorhome holiday and consider the weight first. If you opt for an RV or motorhome that weighs more than 3,500kg, then you may not even be legally allowed to drive it unless you have the right driving license. Make sure that you know what you're legally allowed to drive before you fall in love with an RV that you can't actually take on the road.
Don't Forget: The heavier a vehicle is, the harder it can be to drive. Don't just factor in the weight of the vehicle itself. You will also have all of your holiday luggage. What's more, with more storage in your dream campervan, you'll be more inclined to load it with everything you own. The more you pack, the heavier your vehicle is going to be.
The more that you know about the activities that you'll be doing, the easier it will be to find the perfect campervan for your holiday. There's a lot to see and do, both in Inverness itself as well as the immediate area. If you're planning a visit to Loch Ness or Culloden Battlefield, then you're going to need to have space for food, as well as the means to cook. There are food outlets available at the most popular spots, but if you're looking for ways to keep costs down, then being able to prepare your own food is going to be important. Older, smaller vehicles might not have the cooking facilities that you need, so check when looking at campervan hire in Inverness that you know what you need.
It can take a little time to adjust and get used to driving a new vehicle, especially if you've never driven around Inverness in something the size of your vw camper van. It's a smart idea to make sure that you book your first campsite somewhere close to where you're picking your vehicle up from. Inverness has an incredible array of sites, so you won't be struggling to find one close to your hiring company. It means that you'll have some easy driving to get you more used to the size and weight, and you'll be able to play with the features too. Once you feel more comfortable when you're behind the wheel, then the freedom of the open road is yours.
Renting your first motorhome or camper van in Inverness doesn't have to be a challenge. Make sure that you have enough space for your travel companions, and make sure that you're aware of the legalities and the costs of your motorhome of choice. Then, it's just a matter of exploring beautiful Inverness to your heart's content.


(CNSNews.com) - The merchandise trade deficit that the United States ran with China in 2015 hit a record high of $365,694,000,000, according to data released Friday by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The $22,615,700,000 increase in the merchandise trade deficit the U.S. ran with China last year was a 6.6-percent jump from the $343,078,800,000 merchandise trade deficit the U.S. ran with China in 2014.
The merchandise trade balance deals only with the goods that are imported and exported between the two countries. It does not include the export and import of services.
In recent years, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. has run a surplus in its exchange of services with China, while running a much larger deficit in its exchange of goods.
In 2014, for example, the U.S. ran a $28.077 billion surplus in services traded with China, according to BEA. That caused the overall 2014 U.S. goods-and-services trade deficit with China—which was $315.116 billion—to be less than the 2014 merchandise trade deficit of $343,078,800,000.
The BEA is scheduled to release the 2015 balance of trade in services with China (and other countries) on March 4.
The Census Bureau has published U.S.-China export and import numbers on goods going back to 1985. During the past thirty years, the annual value of U.S.-China trade has risen dramatically. So, too, has the gap between the value of the Chinese goods imported into the U.S. and the U.S. goods exported to China.
In 1985, according to the Census Bureau, the U.S. exported $3.8557 billion in goods to China and imported 3.8617 billion back—running a deficit of only $6,000,000.
By 1995, the U.S. was exporting $11.7537 billion from China while importing $45.5432 billion—running a deficit of $33.7895.
By 2005, the U.S. was exporting $41.1920 billion to China while importing 243.4701 billion from China—running a deficit of $202.2781 billion.
In 2015, the Census Bureau reported Friday, the U.S. exported $116.1863 in goods to China while importing $481.8808 billion—running a merchandise trade deficit with China of $365.6945 billion.
Even when the historical annual merchandise trade deficits that the U.S. has run with China are adjusted for inflation and put in constant 2015 dollars using the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator, the $365.6945 billion merchandise trade deficit the U.S. ran with China last year is still the largest recorded by the Census Bureau.
"For the past several years, the U.S. trade deficit with China has been significantly larger than that with any other U.S. trading partner and several trading groups," said a Congressional Research Service report ("China-U.S. Trade Issues") published in December.
As calculated by the Census Bureau, the U.S. ran an overall trade deficit in goods in 2015 of $736.1719 billion.
The largest contributor to that deficit was China and its $365,694,500,000 bilateral deficit with the U.S. The second largest contributor was Germany, with whom the U.S. ran a $74,192,600,000 merchandise trade deficit. The third largest contributor was Japan, with whom the U.S. ran a $68,647,900,000 merchandise trade deficit. The fourth was Mexico, with whom the U.S. ran a $58,363,700,000 merchandise trade deficit. And the fifth was Vietnam, with whom the U.S. ran a $30,921,400,000.


Why send foreigners to gamble? Because by law, Singaporeans and permanent residents need to pay S$100 to enter the casinos. In addition, Singaporeans can bar themselves and close family members from entering the casinos at all if they have a gambling habit, and some of the employers named in the article are on the list. Honestly, what kind of gambling problem does it take for someone to get the thrill by sending someone else to do it? Even Christopher Hitchens gave up smokes when he got sick; as far as I know he's not paying others to take a drag on his behalf.
'I think it is gravely wrong to make use of the vulnerable foreign workers, who are in a very difficult position,' said Mr Christopher de Souza, deputy chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Manpower.
Damn right. But this sorry spectacle comes at a time of rising discontent among Singaporeans unhappy with the number of foreigners in Singapore. Immigration policy is blamed for taking jobs from Singaporeans (hard to see, given 3% unemployment) depressing Singaporean wages (quite possibly), inflating housing prices (quite probably), and overcrowding public transit (almost surely). Unhappiness with policy spills over into resentment towards foreigners themselves, with all the expected ugliness, xenophobia and racism dragged in its wake.
So, incredibly, some members of the public have suggested that the solution to this latest exploitation is to ban low income foreign workers from the casinos. By law. This is a such a shockingly ill thought suggestion it leaves me a bit numb, even after living here almost seven years. "It is now illegal for you to be exploited; if it happens, you will be arrested". Employers, the real culprits, would face no consequences, and be free to recruit gambling proxies from other vulnerable populations, including people on social visit passes.
It amazes me that some people think a law that bars people from a legal activity because they are poor and foreigners would be a good idea. Let's consider two issues in the recent elections: immigration policy and income inequality. Anti-foreigner sentiment is, for all practical purposes, an issue of the opposition, including its ugly side. I've not yet heard an opposition leader address this problem candidly, but they will need to, and soon. Income inequality — now a worldwide issue thanks to OWS and its brethren — wasn't as great an issue in Singapore's elections overall, but sharpened when focused on specific areas like ministerial pay and housing. But even at its most stark, the myriad disadvantages of the poor people are practical, not encoded in law. A law that barred people from a legal activity because they were poor should not please Singaporeans, even if they drew some satisfaction that it applied only to foreigners.


The excellence of clinical research in Switzerland, and in particular at the Inselspital (Bern University Hospital), can only be maintained by offering the biomedical scientists of tomorrow the best possible educational opportunities.
Most of the research groups of the department are hosting or hiring master students, PhD-students, MD-PhD-students, and post-doctoral fellows who are integrated in the research projects of the individual groups. PhD-students are generally enrolled in the graduate school of cellular and biomedical sciences of the University of Bern.
This educational task is taken seriously in our department, and we organize progress reports, seminars, and conferences that can be credited by the PhD-students. Furthermore, all group leaders of the department are participating in teaching activities at the University of Bern.


Welcome to the latest series at the wildly popular JosephSangl.com: "5 Things That Will Help Fix The Economy" In this series, I will be sharing some principles I believe will help fix the economy long term.
The economy has been stuck for some time. The words "Great Recession," "Fiscal Cliff," "Sequestration," "Stagnant," and "Jobless Recovery" have become common everyday language.
In this post, I will share my 5 Key Things That Will Help Fix The Economy, and then we will dive into each one to understand why it is important to long-term recovery.
These are 5 key things I believe will position the economy for long-term health and sustainable growth. I look forward to having a conversation with you over the next several days regarding each of these items. TOGETHER -WE can make a difference for the world.
Honestly, we don't need number 5 if we can successfully do number 4. Teaching people how to handle their finances well would make rip-off loans an unwise business thus removing them from the market. Trying to legislate them away would just add another unnecessary line to the federal budget.

Ralph Lauren, born Ralph Lifshitz, was born in the Bronx in 1939. Lauren was a sartorially-inclined businessman from the beginning. As a high school student, he'd work at Alexander's department store after school and sell handmade ties to his classmates at a markup the next day. After graduating and spending two years in the U.S. Army reserves, Lauren became a neckwear salesman at Brooks Brothers. Soon after, Lauren started to design his own neckwear with the Ivy League aesthetic in mind. Brooks Brothers wouldn't allow Lauren to work on his designs which led him to the upscale neckwear boutique, Beau Brummell, in 1967.
1967 would also be the year the Ralph Lauren brand was born. The early-'70s were huge for Lauren as he opened the Polo by Ralph Lauren shop in Bloomingdale's in 1970, a standalone store in 1971 and introduced what is now commonly known as the Polo Shirt in 1972. Despite several diffusion brands and decades of collections, the Polo Shirt is easily the brand's single most iconic item to this day.
In 1991, Lauren received a teddy bear that was wearing miniature Polo clothes as a gift from his staff. The gift sparked what would become Polo's second most iconic logo: the Polo Bear. Since the early-'90s, the bear has been embroidered on everything from sweaters and T-shirts to caps and beanies. The following year, The Stadium collection, a performance-driven activewear collection known for its bold colors and graphics, was released to acclaim.
At this point, Ralph Lauren collectors around New York City were forming crews. These groups, the most famous of which are the Lo Lives, were fanatical in their love of Polo gear, going so far as to steal Polo from department stores. In New York City in the 1990s, you had to be a bold individual to wear Polo, especially anything with a Polo bear logo, a piece from the Stadium or Snow Beach collections. While Ralph Lauren's designs were always desirable thanks to their implied connection to Lauren's vision of luxury, it was cosigns from rappers like Raekwon that helped cement Ralph Lauren as a cultural favorite.
To this day, Polo remains relevant by releasing new, highly-coveted products like its collaboration with Palace and re-releasing the iconic Stadium and Snow Beach collections.
Is Polo Ralph Lauren the same as Ralph Lauren?
Polo Ralph Lauren is a brand within the larger Ralph Lauren family of brands.
Where is Polo Ralph Lauren made?
While certain pieces are made in Italy or throughout Europe, the bulk of Polo Ralph Lauren is made in China.
Is US Polo Association the same as Polo Ralph Lauren?
No, the company is of no relation to Polo Ralph Lauren.

Q: MapView inside a ScrollView? I would like to have a MapView inside a ScrollView, however when I try to scroll the map, the ScrollView takes priority! Is there a way to give the MapView priority when scrolling inside the map, and the ScrollView otherwise?
Thanks!

A: You can create a custom MapView like this:
public class CustomMapView extends MapView {

    private MapFragment.ControlLock mCallbackControl;

    public CustomMapView(Context context) {
        this(context, null);
    }

    public CustomMapView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        this(context, attrs, 0);
    }

    public CustomMapView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public CustomMapView(Context context, GoogleMapOptions options) {
        super(context, options);
    }

    public void setCallback(MapFragment.ControlLock callbackControl) {
        this.mCallbackControl = callbackControl;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {

        switch (event.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                System.out.println("unlocked");
                mCallbackControl.unlock(); /* Interface */
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                System.out.println("locked");
                mCallbackControl.lock(); /* Interface */
                break;
        }

        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
    }
}

A: I've tried with overriding MapView.onTouchEvent(...), but it didn't work for me.
Here is code which works well (overriding MapView.onInterceptTouchEvent(...)):
public class MyMapView extends MapView {
    private ViewParent mViewParent;

//add constructors here

    public void setViewParent(@Nullable final ViewParent viewParent) { //any ViewGroup
            mViewParent = viewParent;
    }

    @Override
        public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(final MotionEvent event) {
            switch (event.getAction()) {
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                    if (null == mViewParent) {
                        getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                    } else {
                        mViewParent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                    }
                    break;
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                    if (null == mViewParent) {
                        getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                    } else {
                        mViewParent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                    }
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }

            return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
        }
}

A: A better/simpler way to do this without manipulating individual touch events.
This will work if you are using MapView:
  @Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        /**
         * Request all parents to relinquish the touch events
         */
        getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
    }

Full class:
public class CustomMapView extends MapView {

    public CustomMapView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public CustomMapView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public CustomMapView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public CustomMapView(Context context, GoogleMapOptions options) {
        super(context, options);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        /**
         * Request all parents to relinquish the touch events
         */
        getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
    }
}

If you are using a MapFragment then you can put the fragment in a Custom View, and in the dispatchTouchEvent() make the requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent call.

A: If somebody wants this class in kotlin.
I used dispatchTouchEvent like suggested by @rotem
class CustomMapView : MapView {
           constructor(context: Context):
            super(context)
    constructor(context: Context, googleMapOptions: GoogleMapOptions):
            super(context, googleMapOptions)
    constructor(context: Context, attributeSet: AttributeSet):
            super(context, attributeSet)
    constructor(context: Context, attributeSet: AttributeSet, int: Int):
            super(context, attributeSet, int)

    override fun dispatchTouchEvent(event: MotionEvent?): Boolean {
        Log.d("CustomWebView", "touchevent")
        when(event?.action) {
            MotionEvent.ACTION_UP -> {
                Log.d("CustomWebView", "disallow Intercept")
                parent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false)
            }
            MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN -> {
                Log.d("CustomWebView", "allow Intercept")
                parent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true)
            }
        }
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event)
    }
}

A: Make your own map and use it. It works fully for me.
public class CustomMapView extends MapView {

public CustomMapView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    switch (ev.getAction()) {
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
        System.out.println("unlocked");
        this.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
        break;
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
        System.out.println("locked");
        this.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        break;
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}}

In your layout xml,
<com.yourpackage.xxxx.utils.CustomMapView
                android:id="@+id/customMap"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="400dp"
                android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
                />

A: You can simply put the MapView in a Layout itself and override onTouch or set an Click-Listener - easiest way for me since i needed a touch on the whole MapView in my ScrollView.

A: For those who want the whole working code . here it is
Custom map view class
public class CustomMapView extends MapView {

private ViewParent mViewParent;
public CustomMapView(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

public CustomMapView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}

public CustomMapView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}

public CustomMapView(Context context, GoogleMapOptions options) {
    super(context, options);

Instantiating the custom map class in your activity or fragment
       CustomMapView mapView = (CustomMapView) findViewById(R.id.mapView);

That's it enjoy

A: I have had a same problem for 10 days, but I got a solution a few minutes ago!!
Here is the solution.
I made a custom MapView and override onTouchEvent() like this.
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    int action = ev.getAction();
    switch (action) {
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
        // Disallow ScrollView to intercept touch events.
        this.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        break;

    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
        // Allow ScrollView to intercept touch events.
        this.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
        break;
    }

    // Handle MapView's touch events.
    super.onTouchEvent(ev);
    return true;
}

A: If you have mapview in scroll view then you have to explicity mention the follwing paramets to the MapView:
mMapView.setClickable(true);
mMapView.setFocusable(true);
mMapView.setDuplicateParentStateEnabled(false);

The Egyptian Alliance for Development and Human Rights condemns Mark Zuckerberg, owner of "Whatsapp", continuing violations of the digital rights of Palestinian journalists
Friday 4th June 2021
The Egyptian Alliance for Human Rights and Development condemned Mark Zuckerberg, owner of the WhatsApp, continuing violations of Palestinian journalists' digital rights.
The Alliance stated that despite the calm situation in Palestine, the violations against the Palestinians are still continuing, and the espionage and targeting operations carried out by "Mark Zuckerberg" – founder of the Facebook and owner of WhatsApp- still exist, according to many media reports and press complaints. Several Palestinian journalists who have expressed their dissatisfaction with the violation of their digital rights and the banning of their personal accounts.
It is worth noting that 17 personal accounts of journalists affiliated with the Associated Press in Gaza were banned, as the journalists confirmed that their WhatsApp accounts were banned on Friday, 21st May, however the accounts were retrieved by midday Monday, and this also included banning the accounts of (4) journalists working for Al Jazeera as well as other journalists.
Wael Al-Dahdouh, a correspondent for Al-Jazeera channel in Gaza, and one of the journalists whose accounts were banned, stated that the WhatsApp application not only banned the use of his account, but also deleted his messages and conversations.
Al-Dahdouh confirmed that journalists participate in many groups, including the Hamas group, and that he only participated in that group to obtain the information necessary to carry out his journalistic work.
Al Jazeera explained that when it sought information about its four journalists affected by the ban, Facebook officials told them that the company had banned a number of groups located in Gaza, and therefore the mobile phone numbers of Al Jazeera journalists were part of those groups that were banned. Which means that the blocking of these accounts was not an isolated incident
What confirms that this targeting is intentional with regard to the Palestinian issue by those officials of those applications, which was stated in the report of the Arab Center for the Development of Social Media Sites, where the results of the report stated the fact that between the period of May 6 and May 19, (500) cases of the digital rights of Palestinians being violated.
Despite this, social media companies did not provide an explanation for the deletion or suspension, and the majority of their responses to users ensured that these measures were taken before users of social media sites for their hate posts and violations of their standards.
Highlighting the double standards for WhatsApp, the New York Times stated that about 100 WhatsApp groups were used by Jewish extremists in Israel for the purpose of perpetrating acts of violence against Palestinian citizens of Israel, which indicates the lack of transparency of these companies, and their lack of credibility and the fact that they are directed companies.
The Egyptian Alliance for Development and Human Rights demands the taking of the necessary measures and penalties to address the violations committed by these companies with regards to the digital rights of users of social networking sites in general and Palestinian journalists in particular, as well as companies that work to falsify facts, spread bias and aid in suppressing basic freedoms of the individual and violating freedom laws opinion and expression.

It's All in the Details: Social Class and Royal Flying Corps Recruitment Tactics
August 20, 2017 by aswhitlock
My visit to the Royal Air Force Museum definitely had a positive influence on my research. Despite researching different elements of the Royal Flying Corps for the past few years, seeing all the artifacts side-by-side in exhibitions caused me to think differently and, in a way, more intensively that ever before. One such new approach to thinking was one I discussed in my last post: postulating what the differences between McCudden's manuscript and the final published piece. Another topic I thought about after my visit was the Royal Flying Corps different approaches in recruiting potential commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers (NCOs). In prior research, I had always seen posters and other recruiting pieces for flying officers and N.C.O.s, but I had never seen them pictured together. In a bold but interesting manner, the RAF Museum displays the different approaches to recruitment side-by-side in the Grahame-White Hangar.
In the Royal Flying Corps, cadets included pilots or observers in training. Commissioned officers included the ranks of Second Lieutenant (Pilot-in-Training, Pilot; Observer-in-Training, Observer), Lieutenant (Pilot, Observer, Recording Officer, Armament Officer, Equipment Officer, Wireless Officer), Captain (Flight Commander, Recording Officer, Equipment Officer, Transport Officer), Major (Squadron Commander), Lieutenant-Colonel (Wing Commander), Brigadier-Colonel (Brigade Commander), and Major-General (Division Commander).
Non-commissioned officers included Warrant Officer I (Sergeant Major), Warrant Officer II (Quartermaster Sergeant), Flight Sergeant (Chief Mechanic), Sergeant (Armorer, Fitter, Rigger, Gear Mechanic), Corporal (Fitter, Rigger), Air Mechanic First Class (Armorer, Acetylene Welder, Blacksmith, Coppersmith, Tinsmith, Engine Fitter, Gear Mechanic, Aircraft Rigger, Electrician, Magneto-Repairer, Fitter, Machinist, Sailmaker), Lance Corporal, Air Mechanic Second Class (Armorer, Acetylene Welder, Blacksmith, Coppersmith, Tinsmith, Engine Fitter, Gear Mechanic, Aircraft Rigger, Electrician, Magneto-Repairer, Fitter, Machinist, Sailmaker), Private First Class (Driver), Air Mechanic Third Class (Armorer, Acetylene Welder, Blacksmith, Coppersmith, Tinsmith, Engine Fitter, Gear Mechanic, Aircraft Rigger, Electrician, Magneto-Repairer, Fitter, Machinist, Sailmaker), and Private Third Class (driver). Often, in film depictions of the Royal Flying Corps, directors and actors choose to portray NCOs in more of the stereotypical "ground crew" manner: the mechanic wearing oil-stained overalls, milling about quietly in the background while the flying officers discuss combat after a patrol. Elements of this manner of thinking can be seen in recruitment posters.
NOTE: The description in parentheses provides the typical appointments men of the respective ranks would receive.
Above is a replicated recruitment poster displayed in the Royal Air Force Museum.
Although the poster above is aimed at recruiting both set of ranks, the way information is presented shows its main focus is on commissioned officers. The language of the first sentence sets up the tone: "Men aged 18 to 30 of various mechanical trades and others of good education." The main requirement for commissioned officers is a "good education. The same requirement and language is nearly replicated in the poster below:
A recruiting poster for commissioned officers I came across in my research prior to leaving for England.
The setup of both of the posters above is interesting. When discussing the duties of a commissioned officer, the information is presented in a detailed manner with complete, complex sentences. The second poster, focusing on the recruitment of commissioned officers in Canada, employs very patriotic language in its complex structure, language also employed in the public schools and universities most commissioned officers attended; especially in the case of public schools, military and a dedication to one's country were key elements in the pupils' education. This familiar language would foster a feeling of connection in the viewer to the idea of joining the Royal Flying Corps.
Above are two other replicated posters displayed in the Royal Air Force Museum.
The main requirement and desired qualification for non-commissioned officers, despite the variety of appointments for the respective ranks, was a background in "various mechanical trades", as described in the first poster. There is no emphasis on education, in the sense of one obtained in public schools and university, in potential non-commissioned candidates. Once again, the language and presentation of information in these posters is key. Compared to the other posters, there is very little detailed text or complete sentences. In the case of the first poster, the most detailed the section on non-commissioned officers gets is the chart detailing the pay scale for the various non-commissioned ranks. The main tactic employed in these posters is big, block text to attract attention to the poster. The rest of the poster is very simple: a list of needed trades in all capital letters or relatively bold text slightly smaller than the heading text, another tactic used to attract and maintain attention. The simplicity of these posters provides a glimpse into how the British and the Commonwealth perceived social class differences. The simplicity employed in these posters suggests that the audience would lack the "fair" or "good" education mentioned in the aforementioned discussed posters that would allow them to properly read extensively detailed posters. Going off the historical trend in place since the Industrial Revolution, most individuals turning to trades as their occupation lacked the money that would provide them with access to education. When the war came, the lack of money also prevented most of these tradesmen from taking flying lessons, as, in the early years of the war, an individual had to pay for their own lessons; these lessons were a key step in becoming a commissioned officer. On the other end, in the middle and upper classes, families had enough money to send their sons to public schools and university, also being able to fund their flying lessons during the war. In short, the upper and middle classes, due to education and money, had more doors open to becoming commissioned officers than most tradesmen. By looking at recruitment differences, the origins of how social class provided such a divide in experiences in the Royal Flying Corps comes to light.

Fender Custom Shop Releases Limited Edition Sheryl Crow Signature Model
Scottsdale, AZ (November 13, 2012) – Fender is proud to honor singer-songwriter and breast cancer survivor Sheryl Crow with a guitar that carries a truly heartfelt meaning, the Limited
Scottsdale, AZ (November 13, 2012) – Fender is proud to honor singer-songwriter and breast cancer survivor Sheryl Crow with a guitar that carries a truly heartfelt meaning, the Limited Edition Sheryl Crow 1959 Custom Telecaster.
In 1994, Crow was readying to embark on her first tour as a solo artist when most of her band's equipment–including her own Custom Telecaster–was stolen. The band quickly acquired new gear, and Crow's backup guitar became her main instrument.
Shortly thereafter, the band performed at the Backyard in Austin, Texas, and a fan who had read about the band's stolen gear approached Crow with a slightly used 1959 Fender Custom Telecaster suggesting it was a suitable replacement for her stolen guitar.
The guitar belonged to the fan's mom who lost her battle with breast cancer. Touched, Crow accepted the instrument and continues to hold it very near and dear to her heart.
"I have a very strong affinity for this guitar," said Crow. "This has just been a guitar I've loved forever. It feels good, it feels right and has had lots of loving fingers on it."
The instrument was brought to the Fender Custom Shop in 2011 and was recreated in meticulous detail. In fact, Crow mistook it for the original. The original 1959 Custom Tele was safely stored, and Crow has used the replica ever since.
Only 60 Limited Edition Sheryl Crow 1959 Custom Telecasters have been made, with one signed by Crow and donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation in observance of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Available in Faded Chocolate Three Color Sunburst, the guitar features a double-bound hand-selected lightweight alder body, mid-'60s oval "C"-shaped maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with vintage-style frets, vintage 1963 Telecaster pickups, and modern Telecaster wiring.
The model includes a limited edition case, a certificate of authenticity, Sheryl Crow concert memorabilia and a certificate depicting the story signed by Sheryl.

Andreas Kluth's View to 2022: Plague and War, But Good Stuff Too
Andreas Kluth
12:30 PM IST, 24 Dec 2021 9:43 AM IST, 26 Dec 2021 12:30 PM IST, 24 Dec 2021 9:43 AM IST, 26 Dec 2021
(Bloomberg Opinion) --
Two of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will keep us busy in 2022 as they did in 2021. One is plague — in our case the SARS-CoV-2 virus that keeps mutating. As I predicted in March, we're in for a seemingly permanent struggle between us (science) and nature (evolution). We keep coming up with new and better vaccines, but nature keeps changing the virus just enough to evade any immunity we can build up. I'll certainly keep watching how this race evolves, and how it changes us socially, economically, psychologically and politically.
Another Horseman is war. Russia under President Vladimir Putin and China under President Xi Jinping are, in different ways, testing the norms — imperfect though those may have been — that have kept the world relatively stable since the Cold War. Xi has his eye on Taiwan, among other things. And Putin is right now trying to blackmail NATO and "the West" into staying out of eastern Europe so he can turn it into his sphere of influence. He's massed his troops and may invade Ukraine. If so, how will the West — including Germany, where I live and which has a new and untested government — respond?
The other two Horsemen won't be far, of course. In our context, Famine and Death could stand for climate change and mass extinction. Still, as I was in 2021, I'll be careful throughout 2022 to look not only at the bad and nasty this world offers but also at the good and creative. Yes, we humans cause a lot of problems. But we sure are good at solving them too.
From the year behind us:
We Must Start Planning For a Permanent Pandemic: With coronavirus mutations pitted against vaccinations in a global arms race, we may never go back to normal.
mRNA Vaccines Could Vanquish Covid Today, Cancer Tomorrow: The best news about the mRNA shots from BioNTech and Moderna is that the same technique could also defeat many other diseases.
What Is Consciousness? Scientists Compete to Find Out: A new type of experiment could get us closer to grasping human consciousness. Or it could simply raise it.
Science Shows Why Simplifying Is Hard and Complicating Is Easy: Our brains appear hardwired to add stuff rather than take things away. That explains a lot about the messes we keep making.
The Post-Heroic Legacy of Angela Merkel: History's verdict, I believe, will be that Merkel deserves huge and lasting credit for managing situations that could have become disasters, but that her departure became necessary for a new era to be born.

Bonjour Mes Amis
End of July 2020
[email protected] July 23, 2020 No Comments
Our American born Prime Minister whose family originate from Turkey, who managed to wangle a scholarship to Eton (or his father did) has today gone to Scotland. It's not confirmed that he has British citizenship unless it be through his mother.
Scotland has been part of the United Kingdom for over 300 years. Scottish independence has been acknowledged since Robert the Bruce forced Edward III to sign the Treaty of Edinburgh Northampton in 1386. The partnership has not always been easy. England is much bigger, about 13 times bigger (in people) than Scotland. That has, in itself, caused tensions. The Scots are a clever people, canny and astute, and have made great contributions to the Union over the centuries.
They want to leave the Union. That's understandable. The British government has treated them badly. Not just the Highland clearances of the 18-19th Centuries which replaced people with sheep, trees and farms with grouse moors. There has been the wholesale disposal of land to foreigners (that includes the English) and don't ask who owns the offshore oil or fishing rights.
Our PM is in Orkney. Not too many Scots can attend this far-flung island which could provide 24% of the UK's energy demands, or all of Scotland's plus some left over to sell. This PM is openly blatant is his search for populism. Has he exceeded the mark?
That's likely but recoverable. There are problems to overcome. With the disclosure of the Russia Report, just 10 months late, we discover why Al Kemal (his real name) was reluctant for it to be published. Fingers will be pointed at the real UK Leader, an obnoxious, poorly dressed, Durham born (ah a Northerner in charge) arrogant pipsqueak full of his own importance, known as Dominic Cummings.
Cummings has been picking up the political shillings since at least 2000 when he was political adviser to right-wingers like Duncan-Smith and Gove (whose mother clearly didn't like him much as he was adopted). He master-minded several campaigns, and in the eyes of the pampered rich was see as 'someone who had the right idea', even when they did not fully appreciate what he was doing.
Strangely he had been in Russia, possibly working under the guidance of his former tutor, Norman Stone, of whom not much can be said, he was born in Glasgow, lectured on modern history moved to Ankara, then Istanbul. Was the tutor encouraging the pupil to acts of sedition? Who knows. Cummings tried to launch an airline, failed miserably, so returned to England.
Boris the Turk has other problems. Clear the hospitals of bed-blocking old people, he ordered (or was that Cummings?), put them in Care Homes. That achieved the elderly helped by dying in their thousands. The Covid-19 has left Boris floundering, and this treasured isle with the worst viral results, not just in Europe, where we beat the lot of 'em but lodged firmly in third place behind the USA and Brazil. The sharp mind will have noticed that those two countries have more people than the UK. Add population and we are top of the tree. Well done Boris.
This blustering buffoon and his Russian minder are making sure that the final cuts are made. We are no longer on the World Stage. The Empire has thrown up its legs, fallen over and died.
Has spent his life telling the truth, knowing that few listen.

According to several historians, the U.S. state of Oregon contains over 200 ghost towns. Professor and historian Stephen Arndt has counted a total of 256 ghost towns in the state, some well known, others "really obscure." The high number of ghost towns and former communities in the state is largely due to its frontier history and the influx of pioneers who emerged in the area during the 19th century. Many of the ghost towns in Oregon were once mining or lumber camps that were abandoned after their respective industries became unprosperous.

This list includes towns and communities that have been described as ghost towns, and may be abandoned, unpopulated, or have populations that have declined to significantly small numbers; some may still be classified as unincorporated communities. , some of the towns included may have small residual populations; others may retain few physical remnants of their existence, but are broadly considered ghost towns under prevailing definitions in the United States.

Classifications
Many historians and enthusiasts of ghost towns use a classification system to distinguish ghost towns by types. This classification, which breaks towns into numerous different types, was established by photographer Gary Speck, and has been adapted here.
