Larry Page Does Google Respect Republicans?: Missing Fingers a Childhood Memory - Yakuza and NISSAN are Connected.
Missing Fingers a Childhood Memory - Yakuza and NISSAN are Connected.
Larry when I was a little girl my mom took me to restaurants in San Francisco and a lot of the men were missing fingers.. it was "creepy"....YAKUZA!!!
She also took me to a cockfight in Thailand. Sir, the humane society wants to make taking a child to a cockfight illegal.
The Yakuza are open about their existence, unlike the American Mafia or ChineseTriads, and members consequently openly display characteristic emblems indicating their affiliations. They typically have irezumi, tattoos covering their entire back, or missing fingers from a penance ritual called yubitsume, where portions of a finger are cut off and presented to a superior.
"The background to the first group is that two crime groups in western Japan (the Kyushu Seidokai and the Dojinkai) have been carrying out a private war among themselves for a long time and there's been incidents in which members of the public have been shot by mistake.
Larry Did YOU know that the NISSAN CEO is connected to Organized Crime?
Below was found on a blog.... explains that NISSAN is used by Yakuza as "cover"
So many have told me that Carlos Ghosn is connected to Yakuza, & the Russian Mafia.
I even blogged 18 months ago that the NISSAN CEO Carlos Ghosn helped Japan in keeping the "nuclear weapons grade" stuff silent. THAT is not classified and the US gave Japan a "bye"... Still Japanes does business with IRAN.
Maybe "that" is why they are cutting their Iranian oil imports?
Now I to contact Given 20 prominent Japanese Law Firms. It's GLOBAL Fraud!!!!
Luckily I have Delta Miles.... Gonna Fly Business class.
Can someone at the DOJ Investigate?
NISSAN does deals in IRAN... are they "really" the partner Steven Chu wants?
The yakuza have infiltrated banks, large corporations and stock traders. According one estimate almost half all yakuza members are involved in business crime or legitimate businesses. One yakuza expert told the Washington Post, "They have spread the power to every corner of society. Wherever there is money there is yakuza."
When the Japanese economy grew, the yakuza expanded and move away from small time debt collection and pimping into more profitable white collar crimes such as extortion, fraudulent stock trading and shady real estate dealings. The yakuza has made millions of dollars from legitimate business such as stock trading and the running of restaurants in Honolulu, Paris and Buenos Aires. In 1999, one gangster owned one million Japan Airlines shares. A group of gangsters founded their own bank in California.
Police have identified more than 800 yakuza front companies in Tokyo alone. They include investments and auditing firms, construction companies and pastry shops. In many ways the yakuza white-collar gangsters are like regular businessmen until thing don't go their way and they threaten violence.
The yakuza have a significant presence in Japanese financial markets. Japan's Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission knows of at least 50 major companies with ties to organized crime. The yakuza has reportedly deeply infiltrated companies listed on the Osaka Stock Exchange. Authorities have raised the idea of reviewing all listed companies and expelling those with mob ties.
Japanese corporations routinely deal with gangsters and sokaiya (corporate extortionists) and pay off losses to valued clients. A Japanese economic professor told AFP, "A lack of corporate morality is one of the most pressing problems the country has to tackle."
By misusing the credit guarantee system for small and mid-size companies, two members of the Yamaguchi-gumi crime syndicate swindled 20 financial firms out of $48 million. Nationwide gangsters probably swindled tens of million more using the same or similar schemes.
Most of the journey to Hawaii on the container ship filled with methamphetamine, Shin and Toshikazu sat in the galley of the ship talking to one another and having a meal. They were both dressed in the same outfits as the ships crew and wouldn't be questioned by the American Coast Guard. The ship had legitimate paperwork and the cargo that the American officials thought the ship carried was Nissan automobiles. The Yamaguchi-gumi Yakuza had gained much of its power from corporate extortion and reaped many benefits from the corporations. They could be used to smuggle just about anything to and from America. As the boat arrived in Hawaii, the American Coast Guard boarded and completed their usual routine search. Checked the paperwork, looked over the cargo, and waived the boat through.
As the ship docked the crew began unloading half of the cargo, only that containing the methamphetamine. The meth was hidden away in the trunks of the Nissans which where all wrapped individually in large wooden boxes. Cranes from the port where used to take the boxes from the ship off and place them in warehouses on the docks. The meth contained in those cars would be taken out and placed on a seperate ship to take it to the American mainland. As this all happened Shin and Toshikazu sat down in the galley waiting for it to be finished. They were a bit nervous about being on board with several million dollars worth of meth but the plan was solid. As the specified cargo was removed from the ship, more was put on. This cargo was American firearms to be sent back to Japan. It was hidden within shipments of American goods such as tools and clothing. Once the ship was fully loaded, it continued on its way to Long Beach California.
The ship went through the same routine as it did when it arrived in Hawaii. The paperwork was looked over and the Coast Guard did a half-assed search of the cargo. A ship from Nissan came just about every other day and they've never had any previous problems so like usual they just waived them through. As the ship docked in Long Beach, more cranes came alive and worked to get the cargo off. This time Shin and Toshikazu got off the ship and were escorted to one of the semi-truck that would be hauling some of the Nissans off. They rode in the front of the semi behind which had space for a small overhead bed and resting area for the driver. They talked shortly to the driver who was a Japanese immigrant working for Nissan. This semi would drop them along with the shipment off in Reno, Nevada at a Nissan dealership. Back in Kobe the Oyuban Kazuo Taoka had acquired paperwork from a corporate officer of Nissan for two of the vehicles, a 350 Z and an Armada.
Once the Semi arrived in Reno, Shin kang-gyu and Toshikazu Matsuzaki exited the cab of the semi and waited for the vehicles to be unloaded. In his hands Shin was holding onto the black bag and the breifcase. The manager of the Nissan dealership came out to greet the men and watch as the vehicles were unloaded. Each car was inspected in the garage and was given gas. Shin presented the paperwork for the Z and the Armada to the manager and within minutes they were each presented a set of keys.
Shin: Sir, I thank you for your patience in this matter and I wish you the best of luck with your dealership, I will keep in touch.

As a support for the its sustainable mobility policy and as an answer to federal and cantonal authorities' environmental goals, EPFL has decided to adapt parking fees, unchanged since 1991, and is rolling out an ambitious and innovative Mobility plan.
Negociated together with social and participative partners, the increases in parking rates supply a Mobility fund that finances support measures for the Mobility plan.
Between 2006 and 2016, the modal part of employees has decreased from 48% to 40% for individual motorized transport (cars and motorbikes), while the modal part increased for public transport (from 37% to 39%) and soft mobility (13% to 22%). Despite these positive results, the continuous growth of EPFL population during the same period has not led to a reduction in the number of vehicles in the parking lots and tends to saturate all road and rail transport networks.
In strict enforcement of OPAIR (Clear Air Act), the canton of Vaud applies a restrictive policy for the granting of parking spaces (lower bracket of the VSS standards). EPFL benefits from a contingent of spaces negotiated in 2011 that will not evolve much over the coming years.


Oculus VR has provided Game Informer with a more detailed statement related to Zenimax's claims of intellectual property theft. Last week, the Bethesda Softworks parent alleged that Oculus is using unlicensed technology in its virtual reality work.
The claim stems from allegations that Id co-founder and former Zenimax employee John Carmack took technology with him upon his departure. "ZeniMax's intellectual property rights arise by reason of extensive VR research and development works done over a number of years by John Carmack while a ZeniMax employee, and others," the company said in a statement provided last week.
At the time, Oculus called the claims "ridiculous and absurd," claiming that it was the $2 billion Facebook acquisition that led Zenimax to "come out of the woodwork." Today, a more extensive statement is a bullet point list refuting the allegations.
Facebook and Oculus have been cleared by the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice to finalize the purchase.
It seems that the crux of this dispute is whether John Carmack's work on virtual reality was executed as part of his role as a Zenimax employee. Should this go to court, I'd expect that Zenimax will attempt to show by way of contractual agreement, internal emails, or other directive that Carmack was working on virtual reality as part of his job duties.
Based on Oculus' statement above, it seems that work was taking place at Zenimax in an official capacity before it was stopped. This case will be an informative intersection of intellectual property and employment law, and I'm very curious to see how it plays out.

Q: pandas plot bar with TWO column values as Xaxis I have the following Data_Frame (this is how the data frame was printed):
        Year  Month   incomes  expenses  balance
X
2022-1  2022      1  24037.25  22922.10  1115.15
2022-2  2022      2  25348.23  19150.95  6197.28

I would like to bar plot the last three columns as a function of the first two, the Year and Month. So  far, all answers on the Stack Overflow didn't produce the right plot.
Any help?

A: Updated following the update of the question. Assuming the 3 columns are numeric:
df[['incomes', 'expenses', 'balance']].plot.bar()

Output:

A: The problem I encountered was that the ostensibly numeric columns were in fact of type 'objects'. Converting these to 'float' solved the problem and produced the right plot.
Here is the code:
df_joined['X'] = df_joined['Year'].astype(str) + '-' + df_joined['Month'].astype(str)
df_joined.set_index('X', inplace=True)
print(df_joined.dtypes)
df_joined['incomes']=df_joined['incomes'].astype(float)
df_joined['expenses']=df_joined['expenses'].astype(float)
df_joined['balance']=df_joined['balance'].astype(float)
print(df_joined.dtypes)
df_joined[['incomes', 'expenses', 'balance']].plot.bar()
plt.show()

produces the following print-out:
Year         int64
Month        int64
incomes     object
expenses    object
balance     object
dtype: object
Year          int64
Month         int64
incomes     float64
expenses    float64

Since the Tory Government took office, we have heard plenty about the so-called respect agenda.
Most people took this to mean respect between the two parliaments, in London and Edinburgh, and two governments, led by Alex Salmond and David Cameron.
Those of us sceptical about the respect agenda had our fears confirmed when it was announced the AV referendum would be held on the same day as the Scottish Parliament elections.
Ignoring the lessons learned from the 2007 debacle, where an overly-complex voting system led to thousands of wasted ballots, this decision was taken without the consultation of the Scottish people and their representatives in the Scottish Parliament.
In parliament this week, I called for an end to the pretence of a respect agenda and for our elections to stand-alone, free from diversions.
It wasn't the only decision made at Westminster with implications for Scotland this week – the cuts imposed too fast and too deep by the Tories arrived on Wednesday in the shape of the Scottish Government's budget.
The task fell to Finance Secretary John Swinney to outline how young people, hard-working families, the elderly and the vulnerable would be protected while he balanced the books.
By all accounts, he fudged it and delivered a budget that stored up most of our problems until after the election next May.
There was still plenty of bad news in the budget – huge cuts to housing and regeneration funds will have an impact on the progress made on these fronts in Inverclyde.
And the cuts to higher education and prisons will limit opportunities for young people and compromise safety in our streets.
But the big decisions on public services, such as higher education funding, on council tax versus charges, on elderly care, remain shrouded in mystery.
It will be no surprise that a respect agenda between politicians turned out to be little more than a soundbite.

Milo's opens in Montgomery next week
Chain plans giveaways to celebrate
Milo's opens in Montgomery next week Chain plans giveaways to celebrate Check out this story on montgomeryadvertiser.com: https://on.mgmadv.com/2biUX9I
Brad Harper, Montgomery Advertiser Published 10:23 a.m. CT Aug. 23, 2016 | Updated 10:26 a.m. CT Aug. 23, 2016
Prepare to get saucy.
Popular Birmingham burger chain Milo's will bring its signature sauces to a new east Montgomery location next week, about four months after opening a Prattville location.
The latest restaurant is at 8747 Eastchase Parkway, not far from Academy Sports + Outdoors. It'll open its doors for the first time at 6 a.m. Aug. 31.
Milo's specializes in made-to-order burgers, hand-breaded chicken tenders, and more. They have a full breakfast menu featuring biscuits, Conecuh sausage and cinnamon rolls. The chain also specializes in hand-spun shakes.
You can also get some freebies if you're there early on the first few days. The first 100 dine-in customers on opening day will get a Milo's hat; the first 100 on Sept. 1 get a punch card for a variety of free menu items; and the first 100 on Sept. 2 get a card for a free Milo's biscuit.
Like the Prattville location, the Montgomery restaurant will employ about 40 people. City leaders plan to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony the day before the new location opens.
THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER
Milo's opens in Prattville
Milo's opened at 2305 Cobbs Ford Road in front of Lowe's earlier this year, featuring a custom drink station and sauce bar.
The Montgomery restaurant will be the 17th location for the chain, most of which are around Birmingham.
"We chose Prattville because of the solid community and frankly because we've had a lot of requests for Milo's to come here," Milo's CEO Tom Dekle said when announcing the Prattville location. "We listen to the folks who write in on our website or contact us on social media, asking us to come to their community. As we approached expansion, Prattville and Montgomery were high on our list."
Both of the River Region restaurants were designed by Hendon + Huckestein Architects of Birmingham and built by Paragon Construction of Montgomery.

So, why did we want Tiger to apologize?
Todd Hertz • February 19, 2010
(Photo Courtesy: ESPN)
Today, Tiger Woods broke his public silence regarding his extramarital affairs by saying he was "so sorry" for his irresponsible and selfish behavior. He admitted and apologized for disappointing his fans and causing them pain. "I have a lot to atone for, " he said.
This apology was expected and widely called for. Many have been debating whether or not he owed any explanation or apology to fans. Yesterday, my favorite sports radio show, ESPN's syndicated Mike & Mike in the Morning, took a fascinating angle on why the public wanted Tiger to say he was sorry for his personal failings and indiscretions. Their conversation really got me thinking about celebrity failure and our desire for information.
Here is what Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic had to say:
Greenberg: [The American public] now expects that someone in Tiger Woods' situation has to open up everything in himself and explain it to the satisfaction of every single person in the world. That's the world we live in now because so many people chose to do that for their own personal gain. … I keep hearing people say that he needs to apologize. What exactly is he apologizing for? If Tiger Woods walked up to you in the street and said, "Hi Fred, I am sorry" what would you expect him to be saying he's sorry for?
Golic: Do you think people really want an apology or do they want The National Enquirer stuff?
Greenberg: Here's what they want: They want Tiger to hold up a picture of each individual woman we've seen on the covers of the tabloids and explain what really happened with each one.
Golic: Everybody is saying "apology this, apology that" but what they really want is the dirt. … They want to hear him explain his situation. Was everyone happy when the baseball players got up there in press conferences and said they were sorry [for using steroids]? No, they wanted to hear the details. ... If you get up there and say you're sorry, the general public will be going, "That's it? An apology? Give me more than that!"
What do you think? Did Tiger owe us an apology? Why or why not?
Should we be looking at ourselves in the mirror about why we want to hear celebrities apologize and reveal private information?
And finally, what did you think of what he had to say today?

'Nerves' could be why Meghan Markle's avoiding post-birth photocall
Royal Correspondent
Yahoo Style UK April 16, 2019
Last week the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their decision to keep details around the birth of their baby private. Meghan and Harry will also not be posing for photographs with their first child after he or she is born.
It's understood that images of their newborn will be released a few days afterwards. This is in contrast to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who stood on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's in Paddington, after the births of each of their three children.
While there have been many opinions about why Meghan has decided to opt out of a photocall moment, royal commentator Omid Scobie says that one of the reasons might be because she is "quite nervous" about the birth.

Speaking to Yahoo UK's 'The Royal Box,' he says: "Everyone of course has an opinion about whether we should be the ones to see the baby first, but at the end of the day, what Meghan does with her baby and her body straight after giving birth is very much her personal decision.
"What we've heard from sources is she's quite nervous, it's her first baby, the nerves are really quite high at the moment and so for her to be able to actually cut out what makes it so stressful is probably quite a relief for her and Harry."

Historian Anna Whitelock says that the after-birth photocall doesn't allow for any complications, if there were any.
She says: "If the child had been in the special baby care unit or anything, which lots of babies for a short time have to be in, they would all have to be explained because there is a sense that in a day or two days, there will be this photo opportunity.
"It doesn't create any kind of opportunity for anything that might not be perfect to happen."
"I think in a way it's remarkable that all of those things have, so far, up until now, all gone ok. I'm not surprised at all that Meghan's like 'I don't want that extra pressure.'"

Students celebrate successful Chamber resolution
Fredericton, NB — Postsecondary students in New Brunswick are celebrating the successful adoption of the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce's policy resolution at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce's Annual General Meeting in Fredericton, yesterday.
The resolution, titled "Attracting and Retaining International Students Through Work Experience", advocated for expanded work opportunities for international students in Canada both during and after their postsecondary studies. These include allowing international students to qualify for the Canada Summer Jobs program and participate in co-op programs. The resolution now becomes official Canadian Chamber policy.
"This is good news for international students in the province and the country," said Sara Camus, Chair of the New Brunswick Student Alliance Board of Directors. "Having the business communities, especially the ones here in New Brunswick, united in sponsoring international students in the province is a huge step forward to ensuring they are welcomed and treated fairly here."
NBSA staff were involved in the drafting of the resolution and offered advice to the Fredericton Chamber during the development phase. Earlier in the summer, the NBSA fully endorsed the resolution and applauded the Fredericton Chamber for championing New Brunswick's postsecondary students.
"This is further proof of the strong relationship that our Alliance has with the Fredericton Chamber," said Robert Burroughs, the NBSA's executive director. Earlier this month, the NBSA and the Fredericton Chamber signed a 2-year partnership to grow networking opportunities for postsecondary students in Fredericton. "From our partnership to the resolution's successful national adoption… this is an auspicious start to the school year for all of us in the postsecondary world."
NBSA releases report on State of Student Affairs in New Brunswick
Fredericton, NB — The New Brunswick Student Alliance today released The State of Student Affairs in New Brunswick. The report, an analysis of the province's public postsecondary sector, takes the form of a public letter to the Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, the Honourable Jocelyn Roy Vienneau.
"Her Honour was generous in granting our Alliance an audience last November during our annual Advocacy Week. During that time, we promise an update of our progress and accepted some challenges from her," said Sara Camus, the NBSA's Board Chair. "This is our response."
The report also serves as the first edition of a yearly publication from the Alliance in response to government actions, such as funding allocation through the Budget and Main Estimates processes, and the general wellbeing of the postsecondary sector.
"We have an obligation to our members to provide them with a voice to the public, independent of their institutions and the government. The State of Student Affairs in New Brunswick does that," added NBSA executive director Robert Burroughs. "We are taking the narrative back into our own hands and telling our own story."
University presidents have been invited to respond to the report.
NBSA welcomes key changes to student financial assistance
Fredericton, NB — Postsecondary students across New Brunswick are celebrating changes made to student financial assistance programs in the province. Today, the government announced the introduction of the Tuition Relief for the Middle Class (TRMC) program, an extension of the existing Free Tuition Program (FTP).
"We have been pushing the government for almost a year now to include a progressive income threshold for their upfront grants program," said Robert Burroughs, executive director of the New Brunswick Student Alliance. "The announcement today is a fundamental step to increasing both accessibility and affordability for students."
The government also announced that it will be extending provincial healthcare coverage to international students, effective September 2017.
"This is fantastic news for international students in this province," said Fernanda Damiani, board director of the NBSA and president of the St Thomas University Students' Union. "This is the result of three years of hard work by the NBSA and we are delighted that the government is recognizing the value of international students in New Brunswick."
Roughly 12% of university students in New Brunswick are international and contribute to almost $200 million to the provincial GDP. New Brunswick will join Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador in offering medicare coverage to its international students.
"This finally puts New Brunswick on a level playing field when it comes to international recruitment," said Burroughs, "and will play a big part in supporting the retention and post-graduation transition of these students."
More information on the thresholds for the TRMC is available here.
More information on the student financial assistance programs through the Government of New Brunswick is available here.
Today, on behalf of the over 12,000 postsecondary students that we represent at Mount Allison Students' Union, St. Thomas University Students' Union, UNB Student Union, and UNB-SRC, the NBSA wrote to New Brunswick's Members of Parliament, expressing our support for Universities Canada and the Canadian postsecondary sector in opposition to the US executive order.
You may read that letter, addressed to Karen Ludwig, MP and copied to all New Brunswick's Members of Parliament, here.
This ban runs counter to our central mission of accessibility to postsecondary education in New Brunswick and limits the freedom of mobility of our members. We support calls for the ban to "end as quickly as possible".
We encourage all of our members to write to New Brunswick's MPs.

NBSA announces dates for 2016 Advocacy Week
Fredericton, NB – Student leaders from across the province will be headed to the Legislative Assembly in November to discuss how New Brunswick can leverage the wealth of knowledge and potential human capital of our postsecondary (PSE) sector to build a stronger, more prosperous society.
The New Brunswick Student Alliance will be hosting its fourth annual Advocacy Week in Fredericton from November 7-10, 2016 as part of its pre-budget activities.
"Our organisation remains committed to ensuring that we have an accessible, affordable, and high-equality PSE sector in this province," said Travis Daley, chair of the NBSA. "By and large, our politicians are committed to student issues. We look forward to engaging with legislators and decision makers of all political parties and function."
MLAs, university presidents, faculty members, and senior civil servants received official invitations to Advocacy Week this week.
Chief among the NBSA's priorities is the implementation of a sliding scale, or step function, to the Tuition Access Bursary before the next academic year. A sliding scale would increase the threshold for participation in the TAB program to include some of those who do not currently qualify.
"The policy behind the TAB addresses the necessity for the skills to navigate a knowledge-based economy. The program, however, needs improvements, the biggest of which is that sliding scale. Increasing access is fundamental to helping grow our economy. As such, we believe the introduction of the sliding scale would be the kind of sound economic policy that this province needs," said Robert Burroughs, the NBSA's executive director.
Students will also be asking the government to make changes to other programs such as the Timely Completion Benefit, while recommending strategic investments in mental health, international student healthcare, and experiential education.
"When the premier came to our campuses last month, he admitted the government had to make difficult choices in this budget," Daley said. "We understand that money is tight, but we hope that his government makes the right choices for students because student outcomes are economic outcomes. An investment in our youth is always a smart investment."
The organization will be releasing a detailed document at the end of the month identifying its specific recommendations to the government.

Post-Secondary Students Outline Priorities for 2015-16
Fredericton, NB – Post-secondary students in New Brunswick are looking forward to presenting their ideas for a better post-secondary education system to government, university administrators, and faculty following the release of 'Post-Secondary Education – Strategic Investments for a Better New Brunswick'.
Student leaders from four university campuses across the province will hold meetings in Fredericton next week as part of the New Brunswick Student Alliance's annual Advocacy Week.
The recently released document will inform those meetings.
"The recommendations outlined in this document represent what New Brunswick's post-secondary students believe to be strategic investments for their government," said Lindsay Handren, NBSA Executive Director.
"They offer a means of getting the province's youth, its institutions, and ultimately its labour force back on track."
The document touches on a number of topics including financial aid, international student support, experiential learning, and the public funding of New Brunswick's post-secondary institutions. It offers eight recommendations to government.
Included among those recommendations are the reallocation of funds from the scrapped Tuition Rebate into needs-based grants and a reversal of the controversial decision to increase the debt-cap on the Timely Completion Benefit.
"Making strategic investments in the post-secondary education system now will be key to New Brunswick's success in the long-term," said Annie Sherry, NBSA Board Chair. "With over 60% of job openings in the next decade expected to require a post-secondary education, ensuring that students have access to a high-quality education and the right social supports has never been more important."
"We all want a strong and productive provincial economy. To get there, there is no investment more strategic than an investment in our youth."

Testosteron er det mandlige kønshormon, som spiller en central rolle i udviklingen af maskuline karaktertræk. Kvinder har mindre mængde testosteron end mænd.

Hormoner er kemiske budbringere, der sender informationer fra de endokrine kirtler til de hormon-påvirkelige målceller. Hormon er græsk og betyder 'at vække', hvilket hentyder til at hormoner virker ved at stimulere cellernes processer.

Testosteron udskilles hos mænd primært af testiklerne og sendes derfra via blodbanen ud til resten af organismen. Hos kvinder produceres testosteron i æggestokkene og binyrerne.

Effekten af testosteron
Cirka 98% af alt testosteron der er i blodet er bundet til enten kønshormonbindende globulin (SHBG), som er et protein, der binder sig stærkt til testosteron og gør denne procentdel af kroppens testosteron virkningsløs, eller til albumin, som er blodplasmaproteiner. Cirka 70% af alt kroppens testosteron er stærkt bundet til SHBG, og 20-30% er svagt bundet til albumin. Resten (mellem 1-4% af alt testosteron) er i fri form, og er i stand til at have maskuliniserende effekter på kroppen og hjernen ved at aktivere androgenreceptorer.

Effekt på udviklingen af kønskarakterer
Testosteron er ansvarlig for udviklingen af de ydre og de indre kønsorganer og for stimulering af hårvækst, stemmelejets udvikling og for udvikling af styrken af de seksuelle oplevelser hos både mænd og kvinder. Desuden påvirker testosteron udviklingen af skeletmuskler og fordeling af fedtlag. Testosteron påvirker ikke udviklingen af testiklerne, men hæmmer hjernens udskillelse af andre kønshormoner. For lavt testosteron kan derfor medføre forøget udskillelse af andre kønshormoner.

Effekt på sexlysten
Testosteron har betydelig indvirkning på seksuel funktion og mænd med et lavt niveau af testosteron har ofte manglende sexlyst. Sexlysten og seksuel funktion bliver som regel forbedret når mænd med testosteronmangel (hypogonadisme) bliver behandlet med testosteron. Effekten af testosteron på seksuel funktion varierer i meget høj grad fra person til person, og er i høj grad påvirket af genetisk variation i androgenreceptorgenet hos mænd med normalt testosteronniveau, men ikke hos dem med et lavt testosteronniveau.

Effekt på fingerlængderatioen
Mænd har i gennemsnit en markant længere ringfinger i forhold til pegefinger sammenlignet med kvinder. Der er tilsyneladende en sammenhæng mellem mængden af testosteron i livmoderen under fosterudviklingen og fingerlængdeforholdet. Jo højere niveauet af testosteron er i forhold til østrogen i fostertilstanden, jo kortere vil pegefingeren være i forhold til ringfingeren. Forholdet mellem længden af ringfingeren i forhold til pegefingeren kaldes på engelsk for Digit Ratio, eller 2D4D Ratio, og værdien beregnes ved at dividere længden af pegefinderen med ringfingeren. Jo lavere tallet er, jo mere maskulin vil fingerlængden være. Mere maskuline fingerlængder har været forbundet med højere niveau af aggressivitet hos mænd, men ikke kvinder. Mænd har i gennemsnit en fingerlængderatio på 0.947, med en standardafvigelse på 0.029 sammenlignet med 0.965 hos kvinder, med en standardafvigelse på 0.026.. Jo lavere tallet er, jo mere maskulin vil fingerlængden også være.

Androgenreceptoren

Testosteron virker primært ved at binde til og aktivere androgenreceptoren, der er en såkaldt kernereceptor, der binder til DNA. Genet, der koder for androgenreceptoren, kontrollerer de fleste af testosterons effekter. Testosterons effekter på fx hjernen (seksuel funktion) og kroppen (især skæg og kropshårvækst) sker således gennem aktivering/stimulering af androgenreceptorer. Undtagelser er fx effekten af testosteron på knoglemassen, som sker efter omdannelsen af testosteron til østrogen - denne effekt sker igennem enzymet aromatase. Genet for androgenreceptoren er lokaliseret på X-kromosomet.

CAG repeats i androgenreceptorgenet
En region i androgenreceptorgenets DNA indeholder en række såkaldte CAG repeats, som er en repetitiv gentagelse af nukleotidsekvensen cytosin-adenin-guanin, der koder for aminosyren glutamin (forkortes Gln eller Q). Antallet af gentagelser, og dermed antallet af på hinanden følgende glutaminenheder i androgenreceptorproteinet, har vist sig at være omvendt proportionel med effekten af hvormed testosteron aktiverer androgenreceptoren. Antallet af CAG repeats varierer hos normale mennesker mellem 9 og 37. Jo flere CAG repeats en person har, jo mindre er effekterne af testosteron på kroppen og hjernen, og omvendt - jo mindre antallet af CAG repeats en person har, jo mere massiv vil påvirkningen af testosteron være på kroppen og hjernen, givet et tilstrækkeligt niveau af testosteron.

Betydningen af CAG repeats for seksuel funktion
Effekten af testosteronbehandling på genoprettelsen af seksuel funktion hænger stærkt sammen med antallet af CAG repeats i androgenreceptorgenet.. Andre studier indikerer at testosterons effekter på vækst af skæg og hår på kroppen hænger sammen med antallet af CAG repeats.

Betydningen af CAG repeats for personlighedskarakteristika
Testosteron kan også have indflydelse på personligheden. Testosteron har således en effekt på impulsivitet, og sammenhængen mellem frit testosteron og motorisk impulsivitet er koblet til antallet af CAG repeats i androgenreceptorgenet. Studier af betydningen af testosteron og CAG repeats for depression har givet varierende resultater.

Biosyntese og kemisk syntese

Kemisk set er testosteron et steroid med sumformlen C19H28O2 og de systematiske navne 17β-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-on og 4-androsten-17β-ol-3-on. Biosyntesen foregår i Leydig-cellerne ud fra cholesterol, der ad to synteseveje omdannes til testosteron. Det sidste trin, reduktionen af androstendion, bliver katalyseret af enzymet testosteron-17beta-dehydrogenase.

Den kemiske syntese blev i 1935 foretaget uafhængigt af Butenant og Ruzicka, der fik Nobelprisen i kemi i 1939.

Doping

Testosteron og utallige derivater af testosteron anvendes som dopingmidler til præstationsfremmende formål af bodybuildere og sportsudøvere og kendes under betegnelsen AAS, anabole androgene steroider. For eksempel er Omnandren et kombinationsstof af fire testosteron-baserede stoffer:
testosteron-propionat, testosteron-phenylpropionate, testosteron-isocaproate og testosteron-decanoate, der er vidt udbredt som dopingmiddel. En lang række bivirkninger følger efter anvendelsen af anabole steroider lige fra cancer i lever og nyrer over forhøjet blodtryk til psykiske lidelser.

My night with the Impractical Jokers!
Hi there! I'm Laura and this is my blog, The Brat Race. It charts the highs and lows of juggling a family and career to help you (and me) survive life as a working parent.


Isetan,Shinjuku store is the most hip department store in Japan. Not only world's top class brands but cutting edge Indie brands, which have a promising future, stand side by side in the store and highlight the fact that buyers of Isetan,Shinjuku Store are one of the elite groups in a fashion industry of Japan.
Anyway 8tokyo staff can't ignore this department store, so we often go there but we don't buy much because they are so expensive.
There is a special window display project in the store put together in collaboration with "VOGUE NIPPON(Japan)".


Why get a standing desk with wheels?
Sometimes you need a desk that can go!
Many standing desks, from full-size (60″ wide) to micro come with wheels. In this review, we're looking specifically at standing desks that come with lockable caster wheels on the bottom.
If you're choosing a desk for a home office or cube farm, you might think you won't get much use out of the wheels. However, having wheels can be useful for all those times when you need to add a new monitor, re-arrange desks, move to a new part of the office, etc. Since wheels don't compromise stability (much), it's worth considering the option.
Full-size standing desks are heavy – usually over 100 lbs once loaded. If you ever want to run some new cables or move the desk a few feet to the left, wheels make that a lot easier. Nearly all standing desks with wheels have a locking mechanism, and stability isn't compromised.
Desks on wheels are much easier to move. Choosing a standing desk on wheels would be particularly useful for offices that tend to move workers around every so often. A desk on wheels is much easier to push down the hallway and might be the difference between moving your own desk and having to wait for the office maintenance crew to move it for you.
We didn't notice any significant decreases in stability on desks with wheels vs. without, especially with ordinary office equipment (two flat panel monitors, keyboard, mouse, note pads, Nerf guns) on top.
We also didn't notice any significant difference in costs. So, if you think there's any chance you'll want to move your desk's physical location, consider a desk with wheels.
A high enough max height for you – some desk names start with an inches number, like "60" stand up desk", but in our experience that 60″ is often the width of the desk, not its max height. Look carefully.
The best of the best, the cream of the crop – the Luxor Standup 48″ Height Adjustable Electric Standing Desk has everything you could want, including convenient electrically-assisted lifting/lowering so you don't have to turn a crank for a minute straight. It comes in numerous color palettes, from all-dark to all-light, with some wood grain options, too. It's 48″ wide, which is probably enough for most people, but if you're like us and you live at your desk, you might love the extra foot of width on their 60″ version, the Luxor Standup 60″ Height Adjustable Electric Standing Desk.
This desk comes in many different color palettes, so be sure to check 'em all out and see which one matches your office's decor best.
They also make a hand-crank version of this desk (the stock photo looks exactly the same – look on the right side of the desk for the crank) but it's surface area is significantly smaller than our top pick in the hand-crank category, below.
If you'd rather have a 47″ wide hand-crank desk over a 59″-wide hand crank desk for the same price, go with this one. Otherwise, keep reading for our (wider, deeper) top pick in the hand-crank category.
Yes, the stock photo for the Luxor Standup version looks exactly like the Luxor standup desk with the electric-assist lift. The only real difference is the hand crank on the right side.
In your searches for an electric-lift standing desk, you might come across the Stand Up Desk Store's similar offering, the 60″ Electric Stand Up Desk. This is a fine desk, but we didn't choose this desk as our top pick because at the time of this writing this desk does not ship with Prime, so you pay around $50 to ship this behemoth. You'd be better off buying a Prime membership, getting the Luxor, and enjoying the other benefits you get from Prime for the year.
If you still want a full-size adjustable desk on wheels but you don't need the bells and whistles of a motorized lift, take a look at the rather generically-named Crank Adjustable-Height Standing Desk from the Stand Up Desk Store. It's got a nice, huge working surface (59″ wide x 29.5″ deep) and cranks up to a maximum height of 45.25″ (lowest height is 29.5″). The big working surface is why we rank it above the Luxor Standup Hand-Crank desk (see above).
It comes in numerous color palettes, ranging from all-black to wood grains to all-white.
A hand-crank can be a bit of work, and it's about 40 seconds of crank twirling to switch between sitting and standing heights. The crank is conveniently located on the side of the desk, rather than on the top where it eats up precious surface space.
If you'd rather have a hand-crank desk on wheels with a split surface, check out the Stand Up Desk Store 60″ Crank Steel Adjustable Sit to Stand Up Desk. This split-surface desk isn't our top pick for this category because it's a bit pricier than the LUXOR Standup-CF48-DW and we generally prefer one-big-desk to two-narrow-desks.
Maybe you don't need an adjustable standing desk at all. Adjustable sit/stand desks cost more than standing desks that are really only meant to be standing desks, and you might prefer using a standing-height chair instead.
In that case, check out the Mobile Ergonomic Stand up Desk Computer Workstation. It does exactly as it says on the tin: it's mobile, it's ergonomic, and you're probably going to use it with a computer. It's a split surface desk, though, so if you'd rather have one big tabletop, take that into consideration when choosing this desk.
It only does "standing" heights, but if you don't need a desk that can be both a sitting desk and a standing desk (or you BYO tall chair) then you can pocket hundreds of dollars in savings by going with this desk instead.
The minimalist design of Techni Mobili's "laptop podium" has made it a popular choice for folks who need to save space. When we say laptop-size, we mean "a laptop is the only thing you're going to fit on this desk". There's not even room for a mouse off to the side.
That makes this desk a good choice for short-term uses, such as presentations in a classroom or shared office space, or a convenient place to park your laptop while you work in the kitchen. It's probably not a great place to spend every single work day.
It's little but it's got all sorts of uses, from the classroom, to the kitchen to office meeting rooms.
Still, this desk has its place and it's one of the best sellers among visitors to this site.
No obvious place to put a PC tower – Notice the stock photos make no mention of a PC tower with all the attendant cables. If you've got a wired keyboard and mouse, you might find their cords aren't really long enough to reach a PC tower that sits on the floor. I've solved this problem in the past with a night-stand size piece of furniture or shelving underneath the desk, and you may have to get similarly creative.
All of these desks require some assembly from you – most can be put together in under an hour, but you'll probably want a helper (or at least some moral support) when moving large pieces of furniture around.
There is a small but noticeable effect on stability with some desks. This seems to come down to weight – if you put a lot of heavy stuff on your wheeled standing desk, you'll probably end up with something more stable than a non-wheeled desk that isn't loaded down with stuff.
You may still need monitor stands. When standing, you may find you need to elevate your monitor even higher than they can go by default. The good news is, monitor arms have come down in price considerably in just the past few years. Some good choices here are the Mount-It! MI-705 and the 2-monitor supporting VIVO Dual LCD Monitor Desk Mount Stand.
We think standing desks with wheels are absolutely the way to go; they're just as affordable as non-wheeled versions, there's minimal sacrifice to stability, and the increased portability is a huge help every time it's time to change offices at work or re-configure the home office.

Jailed Iranian Activist Nasrin Sotoudeh Writes a Plea for Peace on International Women's Day
By Nasrin Sotoudeh
March 6, 2020 12:42 PM EST
One afternoon, on a late spring day in 2018, a group of officers from the Iranian Prosecutor's Office and the Ministry of Intelligence came and arrested me while I was home alone. They took me to Evin Prison in a green taxi. In absentia, I had been sentenced to five years in prison for my work as a women's rights and human rights attorney. A few months later, seven more charges were added, and I was given a total of over 33 years in prison plus 148 lashes. The heaviest of these sentences was 12 years for "promoting immorality and indecency."
Currently, I am in the women's ward which consists of three rooms and forty inmates. Most have been arrested for political reasons. The occupants of Evin Prison's women's ward are human right activists, women's rights activists, civil and environmental activists, religious minorities and mystics, members of labor movements, and individuals with dual citizenship who are accused of spying.
I spend my days exercising, making crafts, reading and having group discussions, besides attending to my own personal chores. Sundays are visitation days and if I'm not forbidden from visits, I can see my family.
In prison, I sometimes offer limited classes about human rights issues to those who are interested, but mainly, I preoccupy myself with learning and teaching others about truth and reconciliation commissions in other countries.
None of the Girls of Enghelab Street, the women who protested Iran's compulsory hijab law by publicly removing their headscarves and waving them on a stick, are here. But a few of my cellmates are the young women who on International Woman's Day last year went onto the subway in Tehran, spoke to passengers, and handed out flowers. In another move, this group had supported me by holding up my pictures in the subway. Because of this, they received heavy sentences, which deepens my sense of responsibility.
Iran is a country where violations of women's rights are systemic. This makes it even more important to honor and commemorate International Women's Day.
On this day, I am thinking about the years that have passed. The years of our silence and captivity; years of protest, bondage and the walls behind which we are trapped. However, I also am thinking about this year — a year of tragedy and illness for Iranian people. It's the consequence of hostility and enmity coming back around to us. I keep looking back and reviewing the path we've taken. Where did we go wrong? Why didn't we succeed? Why couldn't our government govern properly? Why didn't we know how to resist effectively and peacefully?
On this International Women's Day, as a deadly virus sickens my country, I throw my hands down and as a citizen, in a gentle voice, I ask the government to end their animosity with the world, to look at the world through the eyes of peace and to trust life and human beings. I ask human right activists to help us in our peaceful endeavor.
I specifically extend my hand to American citizens. Our governments have been rivals for years, with little regards for us. On this day of March 8, I also ask every Iranian around the world to help us in our pursuit of peace, this fundamental aspect of survival. Happy International Women's Day.
Nasrin Sotoudeh,
Evin Prison

How to Build Your Own Media Center with OpenELEC
By Derrik Diener – Posted on Mar 17, 2017 Mar 16, 2017 in Linux
Have you ever wanted to make your own home theater system? If so, this is the guide for you! In this article we'll go over how to set up a home entertainment system powered by OpenELEC and Kodi. We'll go over how to make the installation medium, what devices can run the software, how to install it and everything else there is to know!
Choosing a device
Before setting up the software in the media center, you'll need to choose a device. OpenELEC supports a multitude of devices. From regular desktops and laptops to the Raspberry Pi 2/3, etc. With a device chosen, think about how you'll access the media on the OpenELEC system and get it ready to use.
Note: as OpenELEC is based on Kodi, there are many ways to load playable media (Samba network shares, external devices, etc.).
Making the installation disk
The OpenELEC installation disk requires a USB flash drive of at least 1 GB. This is the only way to install the software, as the developers do not currently distribute an ISO file. A raw IMG file needs to be created instead. Choose the link that corresponds with your device and download the raw disk image. With the image downloaded, open a terminal and use the command to extract the data from the archive.
On Linux/macOS
cd ~/Downloads
gunzip -d OpenELEC*.img.gz
On Windows
Download 7zip, install it, and then extract the archive.
With the raw .IMG file extracted, download the Etcher USB creation tool and follow the instructions on the page to install it and create the USB disk.
Note: for Raspberry Pi users, Etcher supports burning to SD cards as well.
Installing OpenELEC
The OpenELEC installation process is probably one of the easiest operating systems to install. To start, plug in the USB device and configure your device to boot from the USB drive. For some, this can be accomplished by pressing the DEL key or F2. However, as all BIOS are different, it is best to look into the manual and find out.
Once in the BIOS, configure it to load the USB stick directly. This will allow the computer to boot the drive, which will bring you to the Syslinux boot screen. Enter "installer" in the prompt, then press the Enter key.
By default, the quick installation option is selected. Press Enter to start the install. This will move the installer onto the drive selection page. Select the hard drive where OpenELEC should be installed, then press the Enter key to start the installation process.
Once done, reboot the system and load OpenELEC.
Configuring OpenELEC
On first boot, the user must configure a few things. If your media center device has a wireless network card, OpenELEC will prompt the user to connect it to a wireless access point. Select a network from the list and enter the access code.
On the next "Welcome to OpenELEC" screen, the user must configure various sharing settings (SSH and Samba). It is advised that you turn these settings on, as this will make it easier to remotely transfer media files as well as gain command-line access.
Adding Media
To add media to OpenElec (Kodi), first select the section that you want to add media to. Adding media for Photos, Music, etc., is the same process. In this guide we'll focus on adding videos.
Click the "Video" option on the home screen to go to the videos area. Select the "Files" option. On the next page click "Add videos…" This will take the user to the Kodi add-media screen. From here it is possible to add new media sources (both internal and external).
OpenELEC automatically mounts external devices (like USB, DVD data discs, etc.), and it can be added by browsing for the folder's mount point. Usually these devices are placed in "/run." Alternatively, go back to the page where you clicked on "Add videos…" and click on the device there. Any external device, including DVDs/CDs, will show up there and can be accessed directly. This is a good option for those who don't understand how to find mount points.
Now that the device is selected within Kodi, the interface will ask the user to browse for the individual directory on the device with the media files using the media center's file browser tool. Once the directory that holds the files is found, add it, give the directory a name and press the OK button to save it.
When a user browses "Videos," they'll see a clickable folder which brings up the media added from an external device. These folders can easily be played on the system.
Using OpenElec
When the user logs in they'll see a "home screen." This home screen has several sections the user is able to click on and go to: Pictures, Videos, Music, Programs, etc. When hovering over any of these sections, subsections appear. For example, when hovering over "Pictures," the subsections "files" and "Add-ons" appear.
If a user clicks on one of the subsections under a section, like "add-ons," the Kodi add-on chooser appears. This installer will allow users to either browse for new add-ons to install in relation to this subsection (like Picture-related add-ons, etc.) or to launch existing picture-related ones that are already on the system.
Additionally, clicking the files subsection of any section (e.g. Videos) takes the user directly to any available files in that section.
Kodi has an extensive settings area. To get to the Settings, hover the mouse to the right, and the menu selector will scroll right and reveal "System." Click on it to open the global system settings area.
Any setting can be modified and changed by the user, from installing add-ons from the Kodi-repository, to activating various services, to changing the theme, and even the weather. To exit the settings area and return to the home screen, press the "home" icon in the bottom-right corner.
With the OpenELEC installed and configured, you are now free to go and use your very own Linux-powered home-theater system. Out of all of the home-theater-based Linux distributions, this one is the most user-friendly. Do keep in mind that although this operating system is known as "OpenELEC," it runs Kodi and is compatible with all of the different Kodi add-ons, tools, and programs.

I've been using for almost 2 years a openELEC box with much success, as Sw and Hw are optimized, and there is lot of support on forum and by email. Actually, WeTek is the original manufacturer, and although there is updated OpenOLEC, there is available ROM to be used on their Play2, keeping warranty and official support.
I moved over to LibreELEC recently, which is a fork of OpenELEC with most of the developers moving across also. LibreELEC currently runs more up-to-date versions of Kodi, but they both do the same thing in the end.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Rock 'n' Wrestling erasers, they are a figure line based on the 80's WWF cartoon of the same name. These figures are becoming very hard to find. As far as I know, this is the only site devoted entirely to this line of figures. (Probably the only site devoted to erasers period.) I'll be sharing all of the info I have on these great collectables, as well as pictures of my collection. I've been pursuing this set since 1998, and in that time amassed the most complete collection anywhere. I say most complete because there very well could be some variants out there that haven't surfaced yet. So far, there appear to be 8 different erasers: Roddy Piper, Iron Sheik, Wendi Richter, Junkyard Dog,2 Hulk Hogans, & 2 Jimmy Snukas. (This is not including my "mystery eraser"
which you can check out with the link below.) A lot of times people confuse these erasers with the WWF LJN Bendies line. However these figures don't bend very well and are shorter (about 3.5-4" tall) than the LJN Bendies. When I first began collecting these, myself and the other collectors weren't even sure who existed and who didn't. Just because there were 6 figures featured on the packaging didn't mean all 6 were produced. Eventually, though all 6 began to surface. Still, not a lot is known about these erasers or the company that produced them, the now defunct Winston Toys (who also made a lot of other WWF related school supplies). And that's one of the reasons I enjoy these figures so much, the mystery & obscurity surrounding them. Why are there 2 versions of only Hulk & Snuka? And why are they exact replicas of their 8 inch LJN counterparts? Why are Piper and JYD the only figures that look like they're actually based on the characters from the cartoon, while the others all look a little more realistic? Why does Iron Sheik wear different colored boots? These are all questions that will be explored here on the site. Another thing I love about this line of figures is the challenge in completing the set. Most wrestling collectors out there are only now beginning to catch on to the rarity of these, as evident by the recent rise in eBay prices. And if you don't think they're rare, just try to find them. Unlike other more popular toy lines like Hasbro & LJN where pretty much any figure you need is always available on eBay, these guys don't show up very often. I never thought i'd be able to complete the set, but sure enough I have...at least for now. I find it odd that there would be 2 Hulks, 2 Snukas, and only 1 of everyone else, so you never know when a new variant might surface. To see and read about each figure, just click the links below. And don't forget to email with comments, stories, or any helpful info, I love hearing from fellow collectors.

Jalen Rose has a cup of coffee with the New York Knicks during his NBA career after becoming famous in college as a member of Michigan's Fab Five. (Antonelli/News)
WEST BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Former NBA and Fab Five standout Jalen Rose was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of drunken driving.
West Bloomfield Township Police Lt. Tim Diamond said Tuesday that Rose was arrested around 2 a.m. March 11. He's accused of operating a vehicle while impaired.
Keith Davidson, a Los Angeles-based attorney representing Rose, says the former player and his legal team "look forward to working with Michigan authorities and addressing any and all outstanding issues in court and not in the press."
The 38-year-old Rose played 13 years in the NBA, reaching the finals with Indiana in 2000. He was also part of Michigan's famous Fab Five, which reached the NCAA title game in 1992 and 1993.
Rose was part of a recent ESPN documentary on the Fab Five.

I've tried different widgets and solutions provided here, but the BottomNavigationBarItem accepts only icon: Icon(..) and nothing else. If I, for example, put icon: Stack(..) instead of the icon: Icon(..), there are error messages shown, for example
"Invalid const value..."
Here is some sample code:
class CupertinoStoreHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return CupertinoTabScaffold(
      tabBar: CupertinoTabBar(
        items: const <BottomNavigationBarItem>[
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Icon(CupertinoIcons.home),
            title: Text('Kühlschrank'),
          ),
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Icon(CupertinoIcons.profile_circled),
            title: Text('Konto'),
          ),
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Icon(CupertinoIcons.shopping_cart),
            title: Text('Warenkorb'),
          ),
        ],
      ),

So if I can not put anything instead of the Icon(..). No other widget, no Stack(..).
Why? How can I put some other widget, like for example Badge(..):
badges: ^1.0.2
import 'package:badges/badges.dart';

This question is different from the possible duplicate, because I already tried the solution posted there and still can not use Stack(..) but only Icon(..).

A: I tried reproducing the problem, but it does work after changing a few things. First of all the icon property accepts a Widget and therefore not only an Icon, so this is not the problem.
I did notice however, in items: const <BottomNavigationBarItem>[ you should remove the const keyword as it is not necessary and also not constant.
And lastly, you need to add a tab builder to CupertinoTabScaffold this basically returns what's displayed above the bottom navigation bar.
Your final code then looks like this:
return CupertinoTabScaffold(
      tabBuilder: (BuildContext context, int i) {
        return CupertinoActivityIndicator();
      },
      tabBar: CupertinoTabBar(
        items: <BottomNavigationBarItem>[
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Badge(
              badgeContent: Text('3'),
              child: Icon(Icons.settings),
            ),
            title: Text('Kühlschrank'),
          ),
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Icon(CupertinoIcons.profile_circled),
            title: Text('Konto'),
          ),
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: Icon(CupertinoIcons.shopping_cart),
            title: Text('Warenkorb'),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );

By now you've probably heard of Fijit Friends, interactive toys that dance and respond to your voice. Emma's heard of them before and was excited to recently receive Willa, the purple Fijit Friend. To enhance the experience, she also received a couple of the new Fijit Friends Newbies.
Fijit Friends Newbies are pocked-sizes interactive toys that purr and sing as you nurture them. The more you pet and tickle a Fijit Friends Newbies, the better it sings. By squeezing the sides together, your Newbie will begin humming and singing. The ears will also swing forward. To nurture a Newbie, tickle and pet it with gentle pressure on the forehead or each paw. It will pur, giggle, and coo. The more you nurture it, the better its singing becomes.
To say that Emma is amused with Fijit Friends and Fijit Friends Newbies is an understatement. Emma loves to sing and dance anyway, and these toys extend that interest. The toys have a robotic voice that's clear to understand and provide hours of play. Emma prefers the original Fijit Friends over the Fijit Friends Newbies because it has more interactions and phrases. I've seen Emma play with the Fijit Friend alone and with the Fijit Friends Newbies. I've often times even seen her dancing and singing along with them. Emma makes sure to nurture her Fijit Friends Newbies; It's almost a daily ritual. It's neat how the interactive toys can be played with alone or as pairs.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Mattel and received two Fijit Friends Newbies and one Fijit Friends to facilitate my review. The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way. Please do your own research before purchasing products. Your opinions and results may differ.

Arch Madness Championship Betting: Battle of the Under-dogs
USA TODAY Sports. Pictured: Bradley Braves guard Luqman Lundy (2), Northern Iowa Panthers guard Wyatt Lohaus (22).
Eli Hershkovich
Mar 10, 2019, 11:34 PM EST
In Arch Madness, No. 5 seed Bradley and No. 6 seed Northern Iowa opened as underdogs in each of their first two games, respectively. They've hit the under in all four contests, too.
These two Missouri Valley Conference programs will square off in league's title game, with a trip to March Madness on line. No pressure, right?
Not only have the Panthers (16-17, 9-9) won each of the past five times that they've reached the final, but they also represent the last No. 3 seed or lower to take home the crown in the past seven seasons (2016). They would also represent the lowest seed to ever win the league tournament.
Meanwhile, the Braves (19-14, 9-9) haven't done so since 1988.
Where's the value in this do-or-die matchup? Let's break it down.
>> All odds as of Saturday night. Download The Action Network App to get real-time NCAAB odds and live win probabilities on your bets.
Betting Odds: Northern Iowa vs. Bradley Braves
Spread: Bradley -1
Time: 2 p.m. ET
TV: CBS
The Panthers (14-17-1 against the spread) have covered in seven of their past eight games while the Braves (15-17 ATS) are 7-3 ATS over their past 10 contests.
These two squads split their regular season series — both straight up and ATS. Bradley was in the midst of a six-game outright losing streak when it lost the first meeting on Jan. 2, though.
Brian Wardle's crew shot just 29.4% from behind the arc in that one, but has resurrected its perimeter offense since. The Braves own the second-highest 3-point clip (39.1%) and third-highest perimeter scoring rate (32.9%), respectively.
Braves wing Nate Kennell — their third-best 3-point shooter (38.5%) — dialed up five treys in their 53-51 upset victory over top-seeded Loyola on Saturday. The Panthers have let up the fifth-highest 3-point scoring percentage (31.1%) in MVC play, and their motion offense should generate additional success vs. UNI despite Trae Burhow's sound on-ball defense.
Bradley in is prime position to stymie Northern Iowa's attack at the other end, too. The Panthers own the second-highest perimeter scoring rate (37.7%) in conference play, yet the Braves are letting up the lowest 3-point clip (31.0%).
If UNI reverts more to its dribble-drive offense, which shot 53.1% inside the arc vs. Drake in the semifinals, it'll face the 53rd-highest block rate in Division I. The Bulldogs delivered no rim protection without Nick McGlynn (knee), allowing the 6-foot-2 Wyatt Lohaus (27 points, 11-of-15 shooting) to attack the rim at will.
Plus, Lohaus will have to fend off Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye and Bradley's fourth-rated Adjusted Defensive Efficiency (99.9 opponents' points per 100 possession) in league play.
If you're interested in the total, the under has gone 89-46 (65.4%) in MVC tournament contests since 2005, per our Bet Labs data. The two programs combined to deliver the under in 54.2% of their games (32-27) this season as well. I'd lean towards that department.
Let's buck the trend on the other side, though, as the Braves will go dancing for the first time since 2006.
THE PICK: Bradley -1

While they cannot match the durability and efficiency of inorganic silicon-based solar cells, organic polymer solar cells show potential to provide power to remote microwatt sensors, wearable technology and the Wi-Fi-connected devices constituting the Internet of Things.
Although they have garnered much attention over the past decade, the commercial proliferation of organic polymer solar cells (PSCs) has been halted by expensive raw materials, longevity issues and lower power conversion efficiency compared to inorganic solar cells. However, their light weight, transparency, flexibility and roll-to-roll production capability suggest they may find potential niche market opportunities.
While this emerging technology is unlikely to replace traditional inorganic solar cells, a new research paper titled, Polymer solar cells: P3HT:PCBM and beyond points to a number of additional applications of PSCs, reviewing the latest advances and remaining challenges in the field.
Relying on organic polymers to absorb light and convert it into electricity, PSCs can bypass high-voltage transmission lines and provide electricity to point-of-use devices that would otherwise require toxic batteries.
For example, PSCs could power freshness sensors on food packaging simply using the overhead lights in grocery stores. Furthermore, they could go beyond store inventory control, and tie into a "smart kitchen" to reduce food waste and automate grocery lists.
The polymers can be dissolved in solvents and printed onto a flexible backing using affordable roll-to-roll production, which makes this technology especially attractive.
"This printing press is not unlike the one for printing your Sunday newspaper, but instead of three primary colors and black, you're printing the four or five different layers needed for the solar cell, diodes and transistors," Berger explains.
Long rolls of solar cells also allow for other innovative applications, such as wrapping vehicles or covering building facades and windows. However, according to Berger, certain expensive PSC raw materials, namely indium tin oxide and fullerenes, which have proved challenging to replace, may limit near-term affordability.
Longevity is another issue plaguing the PSC technology, because the polymers and reactive metal cathodes oxidize when exposed to water and oxygen. The PSCs can be encapsulated and thus protected from the quick degradation, but while this process can be very effective on glass, it is more challenging on flexible surfaces.
In the lab, PSC efficiency reaches about 13%, which is far below the 20% efficiency of commercial solar panels. PSCs that use P3HT:PCBM polymers, introduced in 2002, yield about 3.5% efficiency. However, recent advances in chemistry, geometry, and the development of tandem solar cells that stack multiple layers together have made this greater efficiency possible.


As part of an ongoing partnership with the renowned Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, district students participated in a unique teleconference with scientists from the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at BNL.
The teleconference was the result of the district's proposal, "Bringing Nanotechnology into the High School Curriculum," which is being accepted by the CFN and makes Freeport the first district on Long Island to have its proposal accepted by BNL. The district is also one of three across the entire state to be awarded the "Be the Change for Kids 2016 Innovation Award" for its nanotechnology curriculum.
During the teleconference, students saw their research teacher, Edward Irwin, use "big machines," including the scanning electron microscope and scattering apparatus to determine the size of gold nanoparticles, which had been created by Irwin's students themselves at the high school research laboratory.
The experience of watching their teacher perform experiments side-by-side with Brookhaven scientists added another unique dimension to secondary science education. During the conference, which was moderated by CFN Assitant Director Dr. James Dickerson, students had the opportunity to ask questions of the scientists, which helped to make science real and relevant to them.
The teleconference call linking BNL, the high school and Dodd served as an interactive way for students to step into the lab directly from their classrooms.

Tough times for gas-based power plants
This story is from June 7, 2017
TNN | Updated: Jun 7, 2017, 18:38 IST
BHARUCH: Gas-based power plants are passing through tough times with high cost of gas rendering them unviable. Most gas-based power plants are operating at 15 per cent capacity when there is need for electricity in the country, said Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, managing director, CLP India, which operates 655MW gas-based power plant near Bharuch and 1320 MW power plant at Jhajjar in Haryana.
CLP India is also one of the largest wind energy players in the country.
Mishra, who was here to attend National Management Convention on Saturday, said, "We have lots of hope from Modi Government that it will come out with a long-term policy for power producing and distribution companies. Fuel security is a major concern for the country and cannot be neglected".

Decisions on repositioning of intruded permanent incisors; A review and case presentation

Background: Traumatic intrusion is a luxation type of injury where the tooth is displaced along the axis of the tooth, into the alveolus. This injury is regarded as serious because of the tissue damage that it causes. The traumatic movement is associated with severe damage to the periodontal ligament, pulpal tissue, root and alveolar socket. Despite its severity, the rare occurrence of this injury in permanent teeth has resulted in limited studies of immature and mature permanent incisors. The purpose of this paper is to review this luxation injury of permanent immature incisors, and to describe its diagnosis, treatment and management. In particular, we describe the repositioning strategies used in cases of intrusion injury. These include (i) monitoring spontaneous re-eruption, (ii) active orthodontic repositioning and (iii) surgical repositioning. Firstly, monitoring spontaneous re-eruption is observing and waiting for the intruded tooth to return to its original position. This process is not a normal developmental eruption and the outcome is not always predictable, nor is the time needed for this to happen. Secondly, active orthodontic repositioning is used to describe the process of rapidly moving the intruded tooth to its original position with the aid of an orthodontic appliance. Active orthodontic repositioning is often misunderstood as normal orthodontic movement. Orthodontic movement allows for periodontal ligament remodelling, using light intermittent forces. In contrast the active orthodontic repositioning used to move intruded incisors is rapid, and the primary aim is to achieve correct tooth position as rapidly as possible. Thirdly, surgical repositioning uses surgical intervention to bring the tooth back to its original position. A case of an intruded immature permanent incisor is presented, with a particular emphasis on these critical decisions on repositioning and showing the use of the three modalities of treatment in sequence, in order to achieve an outcome.

Garbage Workers Call Off 12-day Strike as AAP Government Releases Fund
By Express News Service and Agencies
NEW DELHI: Around 15,000 sanitation workers on Friday called off their 12-day-long strike, averting a looming health crisis hours after Lt Governor Najeeb Jung announced to release 493 crore for their salaries.
The municipal corporations said all the striking sanitation workers had returned to work and heaps of garbage across East Delhi and in some other parts of the city were being removed on an emergency basis.
Heaps of garbage have been rotting on roads and bylanes, particularly in east Delhi, raising stink and health concerns as frustrated citizens voiced their anger against the authorities. A spokesman for East Delhi Municipal Corporation said on an average 2,000 to 2,200 metric tonnes of garbage are daily generated.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said around Rs 500 crore have already been released to municipal corporations to pay the salaries of their employees.
"All the MCD workers will be paid their salaries by 10th of every month and their pending dearness allowance arrears will be cleared within a week," said a top official.
Mayors of three BJP-ruled municipal bodies called on Jung and requested his intervention after which he said Delhi government has already decided to release Rs 493 crore. MCD officials said all the regularised sanitation workers will be paid their money for their uniform within a week besides fulfilling other demands.
HC Directive
The Delhi High Court on Friday observed that sanitation workers cannot be expected to work for free and directed the city government to ensure immediate release of funds to East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) to pay May's pending dues to the employees.
"We have gone past promises. People on ground are suffering. Why should they work without salary?" the court asked and issued a slew of directions to immediately clear the garbage which has been piling up on the streets due to a strike by the workers. A Bench of Justice S Muralidhar and Justice I S Mehta directed the Commissioner of Police to constitute specific task forces to be headed by an officer not below the rank of sub-inspector to oversee ward-wise garbage removal right away.
It also restrained the associations of safai karamchaaris from obstructing removal of garbage from dumps, which has been outsourced to private agencies.
The court directed the city government, Chief Secretary and Urban Development Secretary to hold a meeting with the EDMC Commissioner on Saturday morning and decide the amount required for payment.

January 3, 2012 January 9, 2013 / A.
So to start off this new year with a bang…I just published my first book. Okay, so it's not with a major publishing company but it has an ISBN and it's being sold (online)… so I'm going to count it! I've always wanted to publish something and I found out the hard way that a novel isn't the way to go. Only because I am really impatient… so I thought I'd start small with a children's book!
I have always liked children's books because they are so simple to read but sometimes the illustrations are captivating. I'm not saying my book is a work of art but my cousin, Hiro painstakenly drew these for me. It was a great way to try my indesign skills and my writing skills plus showcase my cousin's artwork.
Is this going to be a series?
What are you going to write next?
Will you eventually write a novel?
Hopefully, yes. But for now, I'm concentrating on smaller things. I am really looking forward to writing my short story anthology. It will be a long time til I publish it. I really want to have enough pages for a hardcover book. I figured that I can write short stories based on my dreams. Excited!
← Happy Holidays and a Year in Review.
I love that it's paperback and not just an online copy.
Congratulations! Publishing a book is awesome, and honestly, I think it's cooler that it's a children's book 🙂 Good luck with all of your future writing projects/books!
And I agree: an awesome 2012 is definitely what I'm going for this year.


We found this food at this outdoor restaurant to be very tasty. It was presented buffet style with the whole family participating. We loved the food and people.
The food was terrible. I feel better telling myself that the money I spent was to see the amazing dancing show that accompanied it. We went on a Friday, I don't know if it is only certain nights or not.

One of the hardest thing to do in sales, especially for early stage SaaS companies, is to disqualify customers. When a startup disqualifies a customer, they turn away a revenue opportunity, a chance to add $1k of MRR or $3k of MRR, and meaningfully grow the top line. But if the customer isn't the right customer, that incremental revenue bears a hidden cost.
In the earliest days of the business, those potential customers waving checks promise an attractive revenue boost. Imagine a startup at $15k in MRR. A customer prospect worth $2k in MRR is a chance of growing monthly revenue by 13% in one shot. In addition, a seed stage or Series A startup typically has a narrow customer pipeline. Because the number of interactions is "rare," each interaction with prospect seems precious. The business feels an urgency to grow, so the temptation to accept an non-ideal customer increases.
A SaaS startup's advantage is the speed of execution. Focusing on one customer segment, the ideal customer profile, reinforces the startup's strength. Diffusing the customer focus negates it.
But focus isn't easy. Even if you've researched the market ahead of building a product, developed an ideal customer profile (ICP), the challenge arrives when you take the product to market. A unexpected surge of interest from a customer type raises the question, "Should we serve that market segment too?" "Was our initial research correct?" Inbound demand from a Fortune 500 precipitates excitement about winning an exceptional logo. Will that logo lead to inbound interest from others? Managing that doubt is difficult.
Nevertheless, the hidden costs of non-ICP customers are real. Changing a product roadmap to suit the needs of one big customer divides an already small engineering team. Managing a marketing message to several distinct customer bases scatters the brand. Higher customer success costs and churn rates from supporting non-ideal customers. Internally, questions arise about priorities. Having two ICPs creates interference across every department.
Sometimes startups do need to change their ICP after they've launched and developed the product. Demand from an unexpected customer is real. If that's the case, the decision should be deliberate and explicit to focus on that new segment in order to preserve focus on just one segment at the very earliest stages. The hard part is keeping the discipline of focusing on just one ICP, so the business doesn't bear the hidden costs of non-ideal customers.
