Samsung buys Corephotonics, the company behind smartphone camera optical zoom technology
Yesterday we reported that Samsung were in talks to purchase Corephotonics, an Israeli company who designs camera systems for mobile devices. Today reports are surfacing that it has done that, to the tune of US$155 million.
Globes, an Israeli business publication is today reporting that Samsung has "agreed to acquire" Corephotonics for US$155 million, smack bang in the rumoured price range. At this stage little else is known about the deal but this purchase is by Samsung themselves, and not Samsung Ventures, their investment arm who already was an investor in the company. Other investors include Foxconn, MediaTek and SanDisk.
There are several large gaps, above all an optical zoom lens. Real zoom does not exist in a smartphone camera, which only has a digital zoom that is actually a manipulation of the image. Dr. Gal Shabtay, chief development officer of Corephotonics
Corephotonics works with all of the large smartphone manufacturers to help provide solutions for their camera modules and is also rumoured to be expanding its technology to vehicles, drones and security systems. It is unknown where there developing uses for the technology will still be developed but we suspect Samsung will keep development in all areas. It is also unknown what this means for OPPO's optical zoom technology with Corephotonics reportedly behind its design.
Corephotonics also has a pending lawsuit against Apple claiming that Apple use one of their patented technologies in their iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus. Once again this places Samsung against Apple inside a courtroom.
Once again a company has purchased someone else's technology by acquiring a smaller company instead of developing it themselves. There are numerous examples of this in the mobile industry so it is far from unusual. It is unknown when Samsung will release this optical zoom technology to the market but it is obvious that Samsung are ready to take large steps to gain back their currently dwindling dominance in the smartphone market.

The Last Block in Harlem is a novel by Christopher Herz published in 2009 by Canal Publishing.

The novel is about an unemployed former advertising copywriter who tries to save his Harlem neighborhood from being bought up by rich developers. He uses his marketing knowledge to empower local leaders, forming a coalition that does a deal with a corrupt local politician to prevent changes. The book chronicles the personalities, factions, and power struggles at play in one city block, showcasing the immense complexities with respect to gentrification and other urban issues.

The book became notable as a result of Herz's unique marketing strategy: to walk the streets of NYC and sell his book by hand, not returning home each night until he sold at least ten copies.

Proposed Eucharist document needs consensus, dialogue panelists say
Mark Pattison | Catholic News Service

The much-awaited proposed statement on the Eucharist from the U.S. bishops is striving for a consensus that may be hard to come by, said a longtime church journalist.
Originally characterized as a statement that would give bishops cover to deny Communion to President Joe Biden and other Catholic elected officials who support legal abortion, said panelist Christopher White, "there's been a lot of backtracking in recent months."
"It's not about politicians, it's reminding Catholics about the importance of the Eucharist," said White, Vatican correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter, who covered Biden's Oct. 29 meeting with Pope Francis.
"But it's hard not to see politics baked into its DNA," White added.
He and other panelists commented on the proposed document during a Nov. 1 dialogue, "Catholic Faith, Communion and Public Life: Voices in the United States and a Report From the Vatican," sponsored by the Georgetown University's Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life.
White noted that when the bishops meet in Baltimore Nov. 15-18, they will meet in executive session the first day, followed by two days of public sessions. Executive sessions have customarily been reserved for the last days of the meeting.
He said this was "so that they can craft some real consensus or compromise" on the Eucharist document. But, he predicted, "you're going to have some bishops taking to the floor of the Baltimore Marriott (with) some strong things to say that contradict what Pope Francis has said."
The pope has urged the U.S. bishops to take a pastoral approach on the issue of Communion and abortion rather than wade into the political sphere.
A draft of the statement, titled "The Mystery of the Eucharist in the Life of the Church," obtained by The Pillar and published Nov. 3 by the Catholic website, shows that in its current form -- without amendments -- the document does not specifically call out Biden and other Catholic politicians who support abortion.
It focuses on how "the Eucharist is our greatest treasure as Catholics" and how it illustrates Christ's sacrifice and is the real presence, not just a symbol.
Another panelist participating in the Nov. 1 dialogue, Gloria Purvis, a former radio host who hosts a podcast through America Media, asked when we are at Mass, "what are we offering of ourselves to the Lord? What is my obligation?"
"What is my offering to him if I go to receive the Eucharist? If I haven't put into practice what I claim to believe," she said, "how have I served the poor, how have I comforted the sick, visited the homeless. ... How do I treat people in social media? What do my tweets say? Yes, God will judge you for your tweets."
Purvis offered advice for the bishops. If they see someone "caught in the snares of the devil," she said, "we don't need to be yanked out of the snare, that does more harm than help."
Instead, they should use "loving care to try to remove souls that are ensnared in these traps," recommending that they "be like surgeons, removing that little bit that harms us ... so that we can hold on to the faith, so that we are not damaged beyond repair."
Theologian Carmen Nanko-Fernández laid the blame for the bishops' impetus to draw up a Communion statement on the "flawed data" from a 2019 Pew Research Center survey question: The results showed just 30% of Catholics "a proper understanding" of the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
The survey's conclusions, she said, were "based on a small sampling of Roman Catholics, some Roman Catholics did not understand the Real Presence. But then "one bishop launched a Twitter tirade about it, it's disturbing on so many levels," she added.
Nanko-Fernández, a professor at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, also faulted the bishops for their "top-down" approach on the issue. "It appears to be out of step or ignoring the clarion call right now from Pope Francis calling us to synodality," she said.
Sister Mary Bader, a Daughter of Charity, who runs St. Ann's Center for Children, Youth, and Families in suburban Washington -- a ministry founded 160 years ago one block from the White House -- said that what she and others do at St. Ann's is "bring the Eucharist to life by serving one another. That's very simplistic, but I'm not a theologian."
She added, "We don't need to hear theologians now. It has to be something we can understand and the average person can understand and feel."
Purvis said citizens hold politicians accountable by voting them out of office if voters don't like how they voted. But that accountability goes "across the board" and is not limited to one issue, she added.
"I would also like to ask every bishop: What are their policies, practices and procedures in the diocese that actually enable us to live as we say we're supposed to live?" Purvis said. "How do we operate in a way for every employee to live that out in a way that we believe?"
Nanko-Fernández returned to the synodality argument.
"One of the benefits of synodality is an attempt to ensure as many people as possible are at the metaphorical table," she said. "When bishops talk as pastors, they're not from above the people, they're coming as one of the people," akin to Pope Francis saying early in his pontificate that we must "smell like the sheep" in order to truly accompany people.
"Look at how synodality is practiced in the United States, as some people haven't even been called to the metaphorical cable," Nanko-Fernandez said, adding there is a lack of "listening that must precede these conversations for them to be fruitful."
Panelists expressed their sympathy to Pope Francis.
"One of the best pastors and theologians we have today is Pope Francis," Nanko- Fernández said. "Because he is pastoral and accessible, people don't give him credit for being a theologian."
"Pope Francis has engaged in trying to give every single person in the church and those outside the church to have their say and to be listened to," White said. "If that story isn't told, it's because we reporters are being distracted by the fact that the president of the United States is sort of in the crosshairs of the U.S. bishops. That's what get clicks."

Morten Michael Kallevig (1772 – 8 May 1827) was a Norwegian businessperson.

He is best known as the owner of the trading and shipping company Salve Kallevig & Søn, which was founded by his father Salve Johannessøn Kallevig (1732–1794) in 1792, two years before he died. The company was passed down through the generations, and existed until 1962.

Morten Michael Kallevig acquired burghership in Arendal in 1794, and served as vice consul for France and the Hansa League. He is also known for raising Kalleviggården as his private residence in Arendal.  In 1844, his widow sold her house to the municipality of Arendal which used it as a town hall for many years.

He was married to Cathrine Helmer Leth (1773-1869). Their daughter Mathilde Sophie Kallevig (1805-1829) married Nicolai Benjamin Aall (1805-1888), a son of Jacob Aall. Their son Emil Kallevig (1807-1889) was the father of Morten Michael Kallevig, Jr. (1842–1936), who in turn was the father of Johannes Salve Kallevig (1879–1962), the last owner of Salve Kallevig & Søn.

Today, in this digital age, your job isn't done once you've taken the photos, you're really only halfway there. You need to edit your photos. Luckily, using Adobe Lightroom, combined with some really high-quality presets, you can instantly start getting amazing results, rather than spin your wheels being frustrated trying to edit your photos.
But first – what is a Lightroom preset?
A Lightroom preset is simply a collection of photo edit settings inside of Lightroom that are bundled into a single click allowing you to edit photos far more efficiently than you would otherwise by repeating those same settings and editing steps one by one.
When using Lightroom presets, with only one click you'll be able to instantly get your photos to an 85-90% edited state, and sometimes you'll even be completely done with one click! Rather than edit each photo from start to finish, you can spend your time on the fine-tuning part of the editing process.
Learning any new software can be intimidating, and take time to master. While it's certainly important to always take strides at truly learning the program, using presets will let you instantly get started in Lightroom, and edit your photos simpler than ever before.
Does the photo look best in black and white or a sepia edit? Or maybe a vibrant color edit or a subdued vintage look? Using Lightroom presets will give you a ton of creative variety right at your fingertips so you can effectively try different edits and see which style is most fitting for a particular photo, or even full photo session. Quick tip – when you hover over a different preset, Lightroom will show you a preview of how that photo will look with that preset applied (in the Navigator box, at the top of the left panel in the Develop Module, see screenshot above).
When you are editing an entire photo session, using the same presets across the whole photo shoot will give your images a more uniform and consistent look, as opposed to editing each and every photo one-by-one, which can yield varying settings and a disjointed look to your image set.
Have a preset you love, but you always have to slightly adjust the color or contrast? Or maybe your very own style has changed over time? No problem at all. Any develop preset you use inside Lightroom is completely customizable and it's as easy as a couple mouse clicks.
Presets work inside Lightroom and actions work inside Photoshop. Both programs have their place in a professional photographer's editing workflow. However, Lightroom is the primary editing software of choice for both professionals and hobbyists alike. Not only is it far easier to use and learn compared to Photoshop, but within Lightroom all of your edits are non-destructive. That means that your original unedited photo is always stored in Lightroom so you can experiment as much or as little as you want, without ever degrading the quality of your original image.
One of the greatest benefits of using Lightroom is its ability to edit a lot of photos very quickly by batch editing, or syncing, your settings from one photo to many at once. When you combine high-quality presets with batch editing in Lightroom you will be able to drastically cut down your complete photo editing time per session.
Now that you have a better understanding of how using Lightroom presets can dramatically reduce the amount of time you spend editing your photos, while getting you better results and increasing your creativity – it's time to grab some presets for you to use inside of Lightroom.
You can scour the web to research and find different Lightroom presets, you can choose to create your own, or you can make your life really easy and purchase the official Digital Photography School – 101 Lightroom Presets Pack that I've created.
This ultimate preset bundle includes seven different themes, so you can easily find and use a preset that is the most fitting for your specific photo, without having to waste any time. You'll find presets dedicated for portraits, stunning black and white & sepia presets, presets for landscape photography, street photography, vintage presets and much more.
It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or professional, you'll love these presets and the amazing results you'll get from them. Click here to learn more and save big by getting them during this limited time introductory special promotion price.
Cole's handcrafted a brand new set of presets, exclusive to dPS.
Try Our Presets: dPS has created two beautiful sets of Lightroom Presets. They are our 101 Lightroom Presets Pack and our 101 Landscape Lightroom Presets Pack.

Emory Law News Center
Abella, longest serving jurist in Canadian history, comes to Emory Law
On Monday, October 28, 2019, the Center for International and Comparative Law will present the annual David J. Bederman Lecture. This year's lecture will be delivered by The Honorable Rosalie Silberman Abella of the Supreme Court of Canada on the topic "International Law and Prospects for Justice."
Justice Abella was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in 2004. She is the first Jewish woman and first refugee appointed to the Court, having come to Canada with her family in 1950. She was first appointed to the bench at age 29, the youngest person appointed to the judiciary in Canada. She has written over 90 articles and written or co-edited four books.
The Los Angeles Times writes that Justice Abella's "theory of equality is one of the governing theses of law around the globe." The publication also noted, in August 2019, that she would soon be the longest serving jurist in Canadian history.
Mary Anne Bobinski, dean of Emory Law, is honored that Justice Abella will bring her expertise and experience to Emory Law. She said, "Justice Abella is an engaged and inspiring jurist. I greatly admire her contributions to equality and human rights, and I feel fortunate that she'll share her experience with us during this important event."
The annual David J. Bederman Lecture honors the memory of Professor David Bederman and celebrates his extraordinary accomplishments in scholarship, teaching and advocacy. Emory Law's Center for International and Comparative Law creates a dynamic space for scholars and students to explore the interactions among international and domestic legal systems of the world and to engage both theory and practice for effective study and promotion of the rule of law.
This lecture will be 12:30 p.m.-2: 00 p.m. in Tull Auditorium, Emory University School of Law, 1301 Clifton Road, Atlanta, GA, 30322
The symposium is free and open to the public, but attendees are requested to register online at http://bit.ly/bederman2019.

For the first time this season, Duke will be wearing something other than black for an ACC road matchup.
Duke men's basketball will need to find another uniform as Louisville plans 'Blackout' Tuesday night
By Shane Smith | 02/12/2019
Has the apocalypse finally arrived? A team scored more than 80 points on Virginia, Kansas is not at the top of the Big 12 standings, and Duke fans are tuning into road games praying to see the Blue Devils in their alternate black uniforms.
Once seen as a curse for Duke basketball since its debut in 1996, the black jersey has made a comeback with this current crop of Blue Devils, as the team has posted a 6-0 record in the unis this season, including all five of its ACC road games.
However, Duke will face another tough test yet on Tuesday when Louisville will trot out onto the floor of the KFC Yum! Center wearing their own black jerseys as part of a "Blackout" promotion that the Cardinals announced last week. The Blue Devils have yet to officially announce their jerseys, but it's almost certain they will have no choice but to wear white.
The first time Duke ever wore a black uniform was a 89-60 win for against St. Joseph's. Trajan Langdon led the team with 20 points to kick off his redshirt sophomore season. However, it would not signal a lucky alternate for the Blue Devils, who would struggle over the next 20 plus years in black.
From that first game to the start of this season, Duke has gone 58-39 in their black jerseys, which they have modified the style of a few times over recent years. That's good enough for a winning percentage just under 60 percent, not ideal for a program that won 82.4 percent of all matchups during that stretch.
This year feels different though, especially considering R.J. Barrett's assertive statement after the road win over Virginia that the team wears black because "it's [their opponent's] funeral."
Major props need to be given to Louisville's marketing team on the timing of the promotion, giving the Cardinals a realistic shot to knock off the leaders in the ACC. After all, who's Iron Man without his suit, what's a shepherd without his sheep, and most importantly, what are these Blue Devils without their black uniforms?

Team & History

explorers club of pittsburgh
George Bogel Memorial Fund
The George Bogel Memorial Fund has been set up to fund conservation activities of interest to the club. This is usually accomplished by annual donations to environmental and conservation groups as well as other organizations that support and maintain the causes and areas near and dear to the members of the ECP.
In the summer of 1977, 14 members of the Explorers Club of Pittsburgh (ECP) went to the Himalayas to climb Nanga Parbat, at 26,660 feet, the ninth highest peak in the world. It was the first American attempt on the mountain and the difficult Diamir Face was the route selected. After a grueling two week approach on foot, an additional two weeks was spent establishing Base Camp, Camps I and II, plus an intermediate "Depot" camp on a small rock ledge in the middle of the face at 18,000 feet.
As the advance party prepared for a push to Camp III, George Bogel, expedition climbing leader, and Bob Broughton left Base Camp after descending with another member of the team who had been injured by a rockfall. After a long day of climbing, they were forced to bivouac at the "Depot" hoping to join the advance team the following day. That opportunity never came. During the evening a massive rockfall occurred, killing both climbers and scattering most of the expedition's food and fuel supplies.
Climbers have been killed before while attempting difficult summits but this particular accident was especially tragic because of who these climbers were.
Bob was relatively new to the Club but not to mountaineering having spent nearly 20 years in the sport. He was a respected professor of law at Duquesne University and a driving force behind the Environmental Law movement. Thus, it seemed fitting to establish, in accordance with his family's wishes, a memorial fund for Bob which would benefit the Environmental Law Library at Duquesne.
George was a longtime member of the ECP and was proficient in many of the "Earth Sports" long before it became the "in" thing to do. As a rock climber he pioneered new routes, including the classic West Pole at Seneca Rocks, and led the first accent up the face of Angel Falls - the world's highest - in the jungles of Venezuela. As one of the first Big-Water kayakers in the Pittsburgh area, he was known for his solos of the New River and for the first and only decent of the Gauley in a two-man raft. He built a hang-glider from a kit and without benefit of instruction, crashed on his maiden voyage and broke his arm (without much ado). His accomplishments go on and on, not just in mountaineering but as a caver, scuba diver, skydiver and engineer - his profession.
Most of all, he was my friend and I loved him. I was his partner in that raft on the Gauley and in innumerable other escapades of dubious value to any but ourselves. I helped to drag his lifeless body off Nanga Parbat, cursing him for leaving me with so much left to do together.
I didn't have exclusive rights to his friendship. George wasn't that way; he loved and was loved by many. Those of you who never knew him have missed much and those of us who did have established a memorial fund in his name to be used for environmental purposes. It is our way of sharing our feelings about him with all of you. Please feel free to participate in some way, by making a donation or offering suggestions, for use of the funds.
Help us to keep his memory alive.
Adopting the motto "Research, Education, and Adventure" in 1947, for three generations the ECP has provided the opportunity to learn new skills and meet new friends who share a willingness to accept the physical and mental challenges of outdoor exploration and adventure.

By Arthur Besquier International Grandmaster Arthur Bisguier is a former US champion, has won or shared the US Open title five times, and has captured virtually every other major tournament in this country at least once during more than three decades of competition.
There are many chess lovers who prefer to avoid the Sturm und Drang of tournament play. They tend to be the chess theorists or scientists who search for objective truth no matter where it leads. Finding the right path in the allotted time of over-the-board play is frequently too rigorous for them and spoils the enjoyment of their quest for perfection. Players of this ilk often turn to the more leisurely pace of correspondence chess, where they can deliberate and ponder their decisions.
According to Harry Golombek in his ''Encyclopedia of Chess,'' the earliest correspondence game was reputedly between Henry I of England and Louis VI of France. He also lists Catherine the Great of Russia, Frederick the Great of Prussia, and Voltaire as other famous unconfirmed correspondence players. The earliest correspondence chess games for which the moves were recorded took place in 1804 and were between F. W. de Mauvillion of Breda and an officer at The Hague.
So much for ancient history. Until last year the United States could boast only one grandmaster of postal play - Hans Berliner, who won the fifth World Correspondence Chess Championship in 1968. Today's game from the second North American Invitational Championship features Victor Palciauskas, who was recently awarded the GM title.
Palciauskas gives a convincing demonstration of how to grind an opponent down with the Ruy Lopez. The method by which he inexorably increases the pressure by improving the placement of his pieces until Black finally cracks is instructive and worthy of study.
A. This move is playable, since 4. BxN, QPxB; 5. NxP, Q-Q5 regains the pawn with a good game for Black.
B. A typical prophylactic move, judiciously preparing for P-Q4 without allowing Black to pin White's KN by B-N5.
C. Although 14. . . . PxP, 15. N-N3 regains the Pawn advantageously for White , this bid for Queenside counterplay is also bad for Black, as it weakens his QNP and results in his being completely tied down to its defense.
D. Immediately attacking the vulnerable point, since Black cannot play 16. . . . P-N5 because of 17. P-Q5 and 18. PxP, winning a pawn.
E. Black understandably lashes out for counterplay, but first 23. . . . P-R3, to prevent 24. N-N5, was more discreet.
F. No better was 24. . . . BxN, 25. BxB, threatening 26. B-K7 as well as 26. PxP; and here 25. . . . PxP, 26. QxP, threatening 27. QxP ch, is crushing for White.
G. The Knight is a tower of strength, particularly in conjunction with the pawn at K6.
H. To evict Black's only well-posted piece, when his game will collapse.
I. Black is defenseless against 39. N-B6 ch, BxN; 40. P-K7 ch (i.e., 38. . . . K-R1; 39. QxBP, and Black's position is hopeless).

Scientists at Stanford University have developed a new artificial intelligence-powered imaging software designed to help doctors diagnose pneumonia with greater accuracy than ever before. It's a great example of how AI is helping humans do their jobs better and faster.
Its name is CheXnet and it is a convolutional neural network–a type of neural network that is designed to process images according to a limited set of parameters.
In the case of CheXnet, the research team led by Stanford adjunct professor Andrew Ng, started by training the neural network with 112,120 chest X-ray images that were previously manually labeled with up to 14 different diseases. One of them was pneumonia. After training it for a month, the software beat previous computer-based methods to detect this type of infection. The Stanford Machine Learning Group team pitted its software against four Stanford radiologists, giving each of them 420 X-ray images. This graphic shows how the radiologists–represented by the orange Xs–did compared to the program–represented by the blue curve.
Importantly, it has a simple user experience: Doctors input an X-ray of lungs, and automatically get the numeric probability of those lungs being infected with pneumonia or not. They also get a color map that highlights the level of infection throughout the tissue. Using these insights, the doctors can then make decisions about how to approach treatment.
The team hopes to see its research applied not only in hospitals but all around the world; an estimated two-thirds of the global population doesn't have access to accurate radiology diagnostic tools. The researchers "hope that this technology can improve healthcare delivery and increase access to medical imaging expertise in parts of the world where access to skilled radiologists is limited," the announcement reads.
As IEEE Spectrum's Tekla S. Perry writes, the accuracy of the CheXnet program can make a tremendous difference in emergency rooms around the world–in fact, "failure to promptly recognize and treat bacterial pneumonia may lead to significant morbidity and mortality." She describes how her 18-year-old son went to Stanford Medical Center's ER with "extremely high fever and cough" twice but the doctors said the X-rays didn't show any sign of pneumonia. It was only after a routine reevaluation of X-ray images when other doctors realized that he could have pneumonia, which indeed was the case. And misdiagnosis can go both ways: In an October 2010 paper, researchers discovered that "72% of patients were misdiagnosed with pneumonia upon readmission to the same hospital." I, for one, agree with Perry: Next time I go to a hospital, I want AI fighting on my side.

Two Breaches That Remind Us of the Importance of Password Protection
By now, most of us realize the importance of having a password, right?
As it turns out, two recent data breaches could have been prevented if two notable organizations would have used a password—preferably a strong one—but in these instances, any password would have helped.
The Weight Watchers Breach
Earlier this week, dozens of servers containing Weight Watcher's data were left exposed after the company failed to password protect its software. The company who spotted the vulnerability, Kromtech, is also renowned for unearthing more than 560 million passwords in an unrelated data breach last year.
While Weight Watchers has gone on record stating that none of the information exposed was sensitive or personally identifiable, Kromtech is skeptical.
According to Gizmodo, a spokesperson from Kromtech says, "We absolutely think it was a production account," which would've provided access to the company's internal IT infrastructure, like AWS access keys, pod specifications, and several dozen S3 buckets holding the company's data. The Amazon S3 buckets used by the company may have included logs, passwords, and private encryption keys.
How the breach happened
It is believed that Weight Watchers forgot to set a password for the administration console of one of its Kubernetes instances, which granted anyone knowing where to look (port 10250) access to servers without the need to enter a username and password.
Though the event is troublesome, Weight Watchers is certainly not the first company to be caught in a vulnerable state.
And, another recent breach should be highlighted.
The T-Mobile Data Breach
Last month, T-Mobile experienced a similar issue that left their customer data easily accessible.
According to ZDNet, the wireless provider was storing its customers' personal data on a website that lacked password protection. It is also believed that customer data was left vulnerable for months before being discovered.
According to ZDNet, the bug T-Mobile fell victim to let anyone access the personal account details of any customer with just their cell phone number.
The flaw has since been fixed but while vulnerable, customer's full names, postal addresses, billing account numbers were exposed. In some cases, information about tax identification numbers, and references to account PINs were visible as well.
T-Mobile experienced a nearly identical issue last year, which has raised red flags about the companies technical infrastructure.
How can you protect yourself?
If you're a customer of either of these companies, be proactive. It is worth changing your passwords and checking in on all of your personal information with urgency.
Are there any discrepancies on your credit report?
Any banking information that seems off?
Any strange logins on your internet accounts?
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Not having a password is problematic. But, having an insecure password can be problematic, too.
Let us help you create strong, secure passwords so that your company and personal information is safe.

01. We are the main outlet for Springbank distillers in England. At Springbank, 100 per cent of production is done on site. In the last 10 years or so, it's more than doubled in size—but without overdoing it. They're never going to go into mass production. Our customers want an aged product, and everything that comes with that.
02. Vintages are disappearing. They were always at the top end of the market, but now they're supremely priced because of the scarcity—they can cost a lot of money for something that's not necessarily that interesting. You can get really amazing tasting whiskies at five, six, eight years old, and the price point is usually quite reasonable.
03. By law, you have to age scotch whisky for a minimum of three years and it's got to be done in a reused spirit or wine cask. One of my favourite types is done in bourbon wood. It's just beautiful—you get a really nice balance of creamy vanillas, oaky notes, and your distil really comes through, it's not overly dominated by the wood.
04. Young people today are much more willing to experiment, rather than just drinking to get slaughtered, though you wouldn't think it if you believed some of the red-top media.
05. I tend to add a tiny bit of water to whisky. You can buy water droppers—don't take them to the pub, it looks very dodgy—which allow you to put literally one drop in. It changes the flavour profile greatly.
06. We could have you arrested for putting ice cubes in whisky. It just tastes of cold. To get the flavour, you need it at room temperature.
07. We don't chill-filter our whisky. To maintain consistency, the mass market often chill-filters it to take the proteins and oils out, so it doesn't go cloudy. Then they add caramel to replace the colour. It doesn't kill the whisky, but it's an unnecessary layer.
08. I don't want to sell a £5,000 bottle of whisky—that's not really my market. I sell whisky that people want to drink. It's not a museum, it's a shop.
09. I worked in the fashion industry for years and years, at various companies. But it got to the stage that people weren't people, they were just units. And I went, right, I'm off.
10. You need to try the Marylebone Gin. Oh my god, it's fantastic. We don't normally carry other people's gins, but it's so good we're going to carry that. With ice and a slice of cucumber, it's heaven.
12. My absolute favourite whisky is Springbank 15. It's my desert island whisky. Though there have been some whiskies released for our 175th anniversary that make that decision harder.
13. Like every 15-year-old back in the late seventies, I used to go to bars in Liverpool and get away with buying whisky and soda. But I never got drunk on it. For me, alcohol has always been a sociable thing: you sit with friends, talk. I've spent many a night drinking, putting the world to rights. It's a relaxing thing.
14. You don't often get 175-year-old businesses. Why has Cadenhead's endured? I think it's the mixture of quality and good, old-fashioned determination not to change.

BREAKTHROUGH: Israelis Create 3D-Bioprint of Entire Active Brain Tumor
Development will enable faster tumor diagnoses, help provide swifter treatment for patients, and more accurate drug development.
By Yafit Ovadia, CTech
Researchers at Tel Aviv University successfully 3D-bioprinted an entire active and viable glioblastoma brain tumor using human tissues, which included a complex system of blood vessel-like tubes through which blood cells and drugs can flow, simulating a real tumor.
The research will help healthcare professionals more quickly diagnose patients, help facilitate faster treatments, and assist pharmaceutical companies to more accurately develop and test drugs to treat future cases.
The study was led by Prof. Ronit Satchi-Fainaro from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine and Sagol School of Neuroscience. She is also director of the Morris Kahn 3D-BioPrinting for Cancer Research Initiative at Tel Aviv University..The new technology was developed by PhD student Lena Neufeld, alongside researchers at the team's lab, including Eilam Yeini, Noa Reisman, Yael Shtilerman, Dr. Dikla Ben-Shushan, Sabina Pozzi, Dr. Galia Tiram, Dr. Anat Eldar-Boock, and Dr. Shiran Farber.
The 3D-bioprinted models are based on samples taken directly from patients from operating rooms at the neurosurgery department at Sourasky Medical Center.
Glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive disease, partially because it is unpredictable, Satchi-Fainaro explained. Furthemore, such tumors can remain dormant in some patients for years. The team was able to grow the tumors artificially in a lab, where they discovered that they all grew and spread at the same rate. However, in the 3D-bioprinted tumor's spread and development was similar to what doctors see in patients or animals.
"Glioblastoma accounts for most brain malignancies," noted Prof. Satchi-Fainaro. "In a previous study, we identified a protein called P-Selectin, which is produced when glioblastoma cancer cells encounter microglia – or cells of the brain's immune system. We found that this protein is responsible for a failure in the microglia, causing them to support rather than attack the deadly cancer cells, helping the cancer spread. However, we identified the protein in tumors removed during surgery, but not in glioblastoma cells grown on 2D plastic petri dishes in our laboratory."
"The reason, "Prof. Satchi-Fainaro explained, "is that cancer, like all tissues, behaves very differently on a plastic surface than it does in the human body. Approximately 90% of all experimental drugs fail at the clinical stages because the success achieved in the lab is not reproduced in patients."
To address this problem, the research team created the first 3D-bioprinted model of a glioblastoma tumor, which includes 3D cancer tissue surrounded by an extracellular matrix, which communicates with its microenvironment and functional blood vessels.
"It's not only the cancer cells, but all cells in the brain's microenvironment; the astrocytes, microglia and blood vessels are connected to a microfluidic system – which enables our brains to deliver substances like blood cells and drugs to the tumor replica. Each model was printed in a bioreactor we have designed in the lab, and uses a hydrogel sampled and reproduced from the extracellular matrix taken from the patient, thereby simulating the actual tissue."
After successfully printing the 3D tumor, the team demonstrated that unlike cancer cells growing on petri dishes, the 3D-bioprinted model has the potential to be more effective for rapid, robust, prediction of a treatment that could be personalized per patient.
"If we take a sample from a patient's tissue, together with its extracellular matrix, we can 3D-bioprint from this sample 100 tiny tumors and test many different drugs in various combinations to discover the optimal treatment for this specific tumor. Alternatively, we can test numerous compounds on a 3D-bioprinted tumor, and decide which is most promising for further development and investment as a potential drug," Prof. Satchi-Fainaro said.
"But perhaps the most exciting aspect is finding novel druggable target proteins and genes in cancer cells, which is a very difficult task when the tumor is inside the brain of a human patient or model animal," she noted. "Our innovation gives us unprecedented access, with no time limits, to 3D tumors mimicking the actual tumor, enabling optimal investigation," she added.
The study was funded by the Morris Kahn Foundation, the European Research Council, the Israel Cancer Research Fund, the Israel Cancer Association, the Israel Science Foundation, and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.

Heinrich Julius Adolph Robert Hartig (* 30. Mai 1839 in Braunschweig; † 9. Oktober 1901 in München) war ein deutscher Forstwissenschaftler. Er betätigte sich vor allem als Forstbotaniker und Pflanzenpathologe. Hartig war ein bedeutender Mykologe. Sein offizielles botanisches Autorenkürzel lautet "R.Hartig".

Leben
Der Sohn des Forstwissenschaftlers Theodor Hartig studierte von 1863 bis 1864 in Berlin Forstwissenschaft und war anschließend bis 1866 in der Forstverwaltung tätig. 1866 wurde er an der Universität Marburg promoviert und erhielt 1867 einen Ruf an die Forstakademie Eberswalde. Dort hielt er ab 1869 Vorlesungen zur Forstbotanik und übernahm 1871 die Leitung der pflanzenphysiologischen Versuchsanstalt.

1878 erhielt Hartig einen Ruf als Professor der Forstbotanik an die Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.

Hartig, der die ersten Anregung zu einem wissenschaftlichen Ausbau der Pathologie forstlich genutzter Baumarten gegeben hat, gilt zusammen mit Moritz Willkomm (1821–1895) als Begründer der forstlichen Phytopathologie. So beschrieb Hartig 1878 erstmals die so genannte Buchen-Komplexkrankheit, die wirtschaftlich wichtigste Buchenerkrankung. Ebenso wurde der die Tannen-Nadelbräune verursachende Pilz Herpotrichia parasitica 1883 von Hartig entdeckt und 1884 beschrieben. Hartig galt auch als einer der führenden Erforscher des Echten Hausschwamms (Serpula lacrymans), über den er 1885 eine Monographie veröffentlichte.

Mit seinen Arbeiten zum Aufbau des Holzes gilt er auch als einer der Mitbegründer der wissenschaftlichen Holzkunde.

Herausragend sind auch seine Untersuchungen zur Mykorrhizabildung bei Waldbäumen. So ist das dichte Netzwerk von Ektomykorrhiza-Pilzen, das zwischen den Rindenzellen der Pflanzenwurzel ausgebildet ist, nach ihm als Hartigsches Netz benannt.

Phellinus hartigii (Allescher et Schnabl), ein Porling, der vor allem auf Weißtanne vorkommt und von Hartig eingehend untersucht wurde, ist nach ihm benannt. Ihm zu Ehren gibt es in München zudem eine Robert-Hartig-Straße. Im Jahr 1888 wurde er zum Mitglied der Leopoldina gewählt.

in our electro class this past tuesday, paul dailey gave a detailed demonstration of how he approaches his craft as a techno DJ. his suggestive mini-set had to be limited due to the class's time restrictions as well as the fact that he had a gig in providence later that night.
but tonight--(wicked wicked) thursday, 2/23--paul will get a chance to stretch out a bit more when he joins me at river gods for my monthly special (which i'm devoting this spring to the music of our electro class--and the guests who share their skills with us). while i mix selections from the avant garde to the minimalist, from soul and funk to disco and dub, from house to techno to electro--a partial crunk genealogy, if you will--paul will be digging out some house and techno classics and connecting them to some recent favorites.
given the lil pub's cozy confines, it should be more of a chill vibe than an all-out foot stomper, but you never know what can happen with the right music on the right night. should be fun, at any rate, especially for all us students of electronic music (whether enrolled in the class or not). 9pm-1am. no cover.
finally, while we're on the topic of classic electronic dance music, i should point you to nate harrison's wonderful little videomentary on the TB-303, the instrument of acid house (and a whole lotta styles that followed). you may have come across harrison's amen break bit recently, which--thanks to boingboing--seems to be enjoying a (well-deserved) second or third fifteen minutes. don't miss it.
and if you like that sort of thing, you might check out vintage synth explorer and virtual drum machines--not to mention the virtual collections at obsolete.com and synthmuseum. deep.

      <RootNavigator />
    </NavigationContainer>
  )
}

Dependencies:
"@react-navigation/drawer": "^6.1.8",
"@react-navigation/native": "^6.0.6",
"@react-navigation/native-stack": "^6.2.5",

"react-native-safe-area-view": "^1.1.1",

The result i'm getting when clicking on the menu built-in hamburger is that the screen does become grayish but the menu never pops in. Using inspect I found that there is a problem with the menu's "left" and "translateX" settings automatically given by the react navigation plugin.
Everything works well when removing the 'ForceRTL' part, but I need the app the be RTL.

A: instead of using the following code.
I18nManager.forceRTL(true)
I18nManager.allowRTL(true)

fix for this issue is to use direction:'rtl' in the style of Root level component. sample working code demo https://snack.expo.dev/PIIGNx70v
sample code
import * as React from 'react';
import { Button, View } from 'react-native';
import { createDrawerNavigator } from '@react-navigation/drawer';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';

function HomeScreen({ navigation }) {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      <Button onPress={navigation.openDrawer} title="Open drawer" />
    </View>
  );
}

const Drawer = createDrawerNavigator();

export default function App() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, direction: 'rtl' }}>
      <NavigationContainer>
        <Drawer.Navigator drawerPosition="right" initialRouteName="Home">
          <Drawer.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
        </Drawer.Navigator>
      </NavigationContainer>
    </View>
  );
}


UB coach Bobby Hurley liked the setup of this year's doubleheader more than last year's version, which didn't include St. Bonaventure. Lamonte Bearden preached taking what the defense gives him … which was a lot on a night he scored a career-high 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting.
Jim Baron gave the standard "UB's a good team" but acknowledged his team needs to get better. Zach Lewis talked about his volume of shots, which he said is him trying to be aggressive while he works to find his groove.

Fort Collins Snubbed by Best College Towns List, Laramie Gets Praised
Shelby Published: November 30, 2021

Laramie is kicking Fort Collins' butt with the Bronze Boot, according to WalletHub's list of '2022's Best College Towns & Cities in America.' Ouch.
Fort Collins often gets so much praise when it comes to 'best of' lists, and with Colorado State University in the heart of the city, it's a little shocking that our hometown was snubbed in the rankings. But, if it's any consolation, Fort Collins did rank higher than Boulder, which is really what we care about, right?
According to WalletHub, Laramie, the home of our Border War rival University of Wyoming, is the 23rd best college town in the entire country. Fort Collins, however, is a full 100 towns behind at number 123. WalletHub looked at things like the wallet-friendliness of each city — which yeah, Fort Collins, you could do better — as well as the social environments and the academic opportunities.
You can't really argue that Fort Collins doesn't have a lively social scene, especially for college students. And, there's definitely academic opportunities, but the cost of living in Fort Collins is what's probably killing our ranking.
Fort comparison:
Average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Laramie is currently around $650
Average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Fort Collins is over twice that, at $1,333
Boulder, home of the University of Colorado, came in just behind Fort Collins at number 136 in the country, while University of Northern Colorado's hometown of Greeley took a beating, at number 317 (I'm sure there are some Bears who'd beg to differ). You can see the full list from WalletHub here.

Q: How to create a Json from an SQL query? I have query the SQL 2 columns ID & Name using the OracleDb NPM package. After looping I am getting the following result:
[ 201, 'should load all Operations page Sub Menus' ]
    [ 203, 'should load all admin page Sub Menus' ],
    [ 202, 'should load all Approvals page Sub Menus' ],
    [ 204, 'should load all Reporting page Sub Menus' ]

A: The query result is returned as an object array : results
Example : using results[0].id gets the first results row's id.
 With the following example you store the name value under the id key.
 var JSONObj = {};
    for (var i=0; i<results.length; i++){
       var this_id = results[i].id;
       JSONObj[this_id] = results[i].name;
    }

Resulting in a final object with this structure:
{ 201:'should load all Operations page Sub Menus',
  203:'should load all admin page Sub Menus',
  ...etc... }


The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has added 128 substances to the list of chemicals sometimes found in aerosol paints that emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The primary substances include formaldehyde, ethanol, benzene, propane and vinyl chloride. VOCs react with nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight to form ground-level ozone, which has been linked to respiratory ailments.
Spray paint manufacturers must now determine whether their products contain the newly-added substances and still comply with aerosol coating emissions limits.
The rule focuses on encouraging manufacturers to use less reactive VOC ingredients in their product formulas since certain chemicals are less likely to produce ozone. Toluene and xylene were specific targets of the rule.
According to the EPA, nearly 85% of the spray paints used in the United States in 2007 were produced by three companies, and the aerosol coatings already complied with the California regulations. Companies subject to the rule must inform the EPA every three years regarding the amount of VOCs in their products.
Manufacturers that make limited quantities of aerosol spray paints containing VOCs (less than 7,500 kilograms/8.3 tons) on an annual basis are exempt from the regulation. Companies that have not previously manufactured or distributed aerosol paints in California have until January 2011 to comply with the EPA rule.
