Reversal of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
Lookup NU author(s): Dr Richard Quinton, Professor Simon PearceORCiD
Background: Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which may be associated with anosmia (the Kallmann syndrome) or with a normal sense of smell, is a treatable form of male infertility caused by a congenital defect in the secretion or action of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Patients have absent or incomplete sexual maturation by the age of 18. Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism was previously thought to require lifelong therapy. We describe 15 men in whom reversal of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism was sustained after discontinuation of hormonal therapy. Methods: We defined the sustained reversal of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism as the presence of normal adult testosterone levels after hormonal therapy was discontinued. Results: Ten sustained reversals were identified retrospectively. Five sustained reversals were identified prospectively among 50 men with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism after a mean (+/-SD) duration of treatment interruption of 6+/-3 weeks. Of the 15 men who had a sustained reversal, 4 had anosmia. At initial evaluation, 6 men had absent puberty, 9 had partial puberty, and all had abnormal secretion of GnRH-induced luteinizing hormone. All 15 men had received previous hormonal therapy to induce virilization, fertility, or both. Among those whose hypogonadism was reversed, the mean serum level of endogenous testosterone increased from 55+/-29 ng per deciliter (1.9+/-1.0 nmol per liter) to 386+/-91 ng per deciliter (13.4+/-3.2 nmol per liter, P<0.001), the luteinizing hormone level increased from 2.7+/-2.0 to 8.5+/-4.6 IU per liter (P<0.001), the level of follicle-stimulating hormone increased from 2.5+/-1.7 to 9.5+/-12.2 IU per liter (P<0.01), and testicular volume increased from 8+/-5 to 16+/-7 ml (P<0.001). Pulsatile luteinizing hormone secretion and spermatogenesis were documented. Conclusions: Sustained reversal of normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and the Kallmann syndrome was noted after discontinuation of treatment in about 10% of patients with either absent or partial puberty. Therefore, brief discontinuation of hormonal therapy to assess reversibility of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is reasonable. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00392756.) N Engl J Med 2007;357:863-73.

Ips typographus (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) is a spruce-infesting bark beetle that occurs throughout Europe and Asia. The beetle can cause considerable damage, especially when colonized trees are stressed and beetle populations increase. Although some studies have shown that populations of I. typographus in Europe, China and Japan are genetically distinct, these populations are biologically similar, including a strong association with ophiostomatoid fungi. To date, only two Leptographium spp. have been reported from the beetle in China, while 40 species have been reported from Europe and 13 from Japan. The aims of this study were to identify the ophiostomatoid fungal associates of I. typographus in north-eastern China, and to determine whether the fungal assemblages reflect the different geographical populations of the beetle. Field surveys in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces yielded a total of 1 046 fungal isolates from 145 beetles and 178 galleries. Isolates were grouped based on morphology and representatives of each group were identified using DNA sequences of the ribosomal LSU, ITS, β-tubulin, calmodulin and elongation factor 1-α gene regions. A total of 23 species of ophiostomatoid fungi were identified, including 12 previously described species and 11 novel species, all of which are described here. The dominant species were Ophiostoma bicolor, Leptographium taigense and Grosmannia piceiperda D, representing 40.5 %, 27.8 % and 17.8 % of the isolates, respectively. Comparisons of species from China, Europe and Japan are complicated by the fact that some of the European and all the Japanese species were identified based only on morphology. However, assuming that those identifications are correct, five species were shared between Europe, Japan and China, two species were shared between China and Japan, five between Europe and China, and two between Europe and Japan. Consequently, Ips typographus populations in these different geographic areas have different fungal assemblages, suggesting that the majority of these beetle-associations are promiscuous. The results also suggested that the symbionts of the bark beetle do not reflect the population structures of the beetle. The use of fungal symbiont assemblages to infer population structures and invasion history of its vectors should thus be interpreted with circumspection.

Fintech startup Stripe offers lending service to customers

[NEW YORK] Stripe Inc became one of the most valuable financial-technology startups by helping businesses accept online payments. Now it's getting into lending.
The San Francisco-based company launched Stripe Capital on Thursday. The service will start in the US and will make loans to businesses that are already Stripe customers, as well as merchants selling on services like Shopify that use Stripe to process payments. Stripe will use the data it has on customers to help determine loan eligibility and terms. The first target market will be smaller businesses that use Stripe, rather than larger customers, such as Amazon.com Inc, that already have access to cash.
Stripe Capital will start out by focusing on loans of about US$10,000 to US$20,000, according to Stripe co-founder John Collison. Much like Jack Dorsey's payments firm Square Inc, which has its own lending service called Square Capital, Stripe has access to a wide swath of data on its customers. "We can constantly be looking at the businesses on Stripe, their cash flow, how they are growing, and who can be productively underwritten for a loan," Mr Collison said.
Tech companies have become an increasingly popular lending source in recent years. After the 2008 financial crisis, traditional banks pulled back on small business loans, prompting many companies to look elsewhere for capital. Almost a third of loan applicants turned to online lenders in 2018, up from 24 per cent in 2017 and 19 per cent in 2016, according to a Federal Reserve survey.
As the industry has become more digital, PayPal Holdings Inc, Square and even Amazon have introduced small business lending programs, as have a slew of startups including SoftBank Group Corp-backed Kabbage Inc and public company OnDeck Capital Inc.

Though lending poses risks, Stripe, much like other payment services, says the extra data it has on customers will give it a better idea of whether borrowers can repay loans. The company believes that edge will protect it from significant losses during an economic downturn.
"Lending is fundamentally a business that performs very differently based on where we are in the business cycle," Mr Collison said.
"We're doing as much as we can at the current point with models based on data that we can get from business performance and how small businesses performed in the financial crisis."
He added that the product was built with the possibility of an economic shock in mind, and that the company plans to be "appropriately cautious."

Pegging is a term coined by the audience of Dan Savage's audience, a sex columnist and educator. Pegging is not about anatomy or sexual orientation, it's focus is on gender. It's when someone who identifies as a man is anally penetrated with a dildo by someone who identifies as a woman. This is why you will hear me say man, woman, he, she etc. when I typically don't.
Here are some other resources on pegging:

This episode of Sexplanations is sponsored by Adamandeve.com, a strap on super store. When a woman uses a strap on to have anal sex with a man it's called pegging. To me pegging is a sex act that makes a lot of sense. Typically men can have stronger orgasms from prostate stimulation, and the prostate is most easily accessed through the rectum.
Pegging can also be really pleasurable for the woman to express fucking as the penetrative partner. Curious about pegging? Want to know how to incorporate pegging into your sex life? First there's bringing it up with your partner. You might say something like: "Sexplanations has this video I'd like to watch with you." "How do you feel about me doing you in the ass?" "Are you into exploring prostate massage?" "I'd really like to penetrate you from behind while you stroke your cock." "I want to fuck the cum out of you."
There are also some test behaviors you can try; dry-humping from behind in the kitchen, or the shower, or the bed. Pressing gently on the perineum during a handjob, or blowjob to tease the prostate. A consensual finger in the ass, or full on anilingus. Even while eating ass, check in, "Does that feel good?"
More than likely it feels amazing, but fear gets in the way of relaxing into it. Fear of pooping, or poop on the toy when it comes out. Fear of pain. Fear of farting, the smells in general, potential tearing, hemorrhoids, getting the bed messy, fluids, pegging failure, disappointment, giving up, or liking it too much that you need it from now on just to get off.
These fears are sexual fears. They apply to many, many sex acts. Fluids, pain, sex performance, at least with pegging there are clear steps to mitigate these fears. The first is understanding the asshole. The anus has two sphincters, an external sphincter that can be constricted or relaxed like your mouth, and an internal sphincter that is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, so it functions on its own like your heart.
The prostate or what comedian Ali Wong calls, "The magical clit in his butt hole" is about two inches in on the anterior wall. Everything around it is the rectum. Work with the anatomy, put a glove on your finger and find your way around. When does the asshole open up? How much pressure is desired? Where is the prostate? Does your partner want rapid strokes, long strokes, deep strokes, tickling, or no movement just touch?
For more information and general guidelines on anal prep and anal sex, check out the videos in the description. The next step for pegging specifically is securing a strap on. That means a dildo and some way of attaching it to your body so you can thrust hands free. Traditionally this refers to a harness with adjustable straps, and an o-ring that the dildo can slide in and out of, but there are also underwear versions.Sspecial night rhinestones, and this style called a U strap that makes your vagina the o-ring. This one has a vibrator so the crotch becomes a three-way pleasure factory.
My recommendation is that the dildo be the size of the person's bowel movements. Small squirts, something like this. Big dumps, you can go larger. This kit is nice because it offers both options so that you can work up to a heftier girth over time. Then there's these very reasonable sizes with two colors to choose from, your anus, my anus. Dildo for anal, dildo for vaginal. A longer phallus is nice so that you can really get in there and don't have to worry about easily slipping out. There's enough room here for buttcheeks.
Materials do matter but I wouldn't spend a ton of money on your first strap on. Make sure you like pegging before a big investment. You're going to use condoms to keep things safer and cleaner anyway, right? Harness wise I like having something adjustable that can be washed, but these were really fun to wear in the orgasmic sex positions video. Once you have your gear selected; dildo, harness, lube, condoms, baby wipes for clean up, and toy cleaner, set a date.
Personally I'm a big fan of hotels for anal. It's not about disrespecting the hospitality industry, it's about keeping body fluids separate. There are usually two beds in a room, so you can designate one for ass adventuring and the other for all other kinds of sex and sleeping. If you're going to do it at home, I suggest aiming for the evening prior to laundry day. It's unlikely that there will be visible feces to clean up, but there will be E Coli that gets moved around.
And some forethought is wise; like taking showers first, not pegging after a meal with beans, and probably not when there are other people around so your "put it deeper in my ass" can be communicated clearly. Next workout a back up plan for when things don't go smoothly. It might if you don't take it easy or use proper gear. Your brain might get in the way, all sorts of lingering sex shaming, religious, or social beliefs that tell your butt to stop.
Knowing that you could switch to oral sex, or mutual masturbation, or cuddling with hygiene considerations of course can make those full stops less disappointing. Now onto pegging. With the strap on in place, get the man aroused; handjob, blowjob, masturbation, vaginal sex. He may not get hard, or stay hard, but it helps to bring blood into the groin and start things off pleasurably.
Get into a position where he can maintain stimulation, and you can eventually thrust the dildo inside him. Position. Position. Position. Position. According to proctologists standing with feet pointed inward can open the anus more, so can spreading the butt-cheeks. With a lubricated condom on the toy and some extra lube for good measure, introduce the tip to his anus. Just wait it may pucker up and draw you inside. If not when you and your partner are ready, push slowly and steadily listening for directions.
"In more, slower, up higher, right there." A strong rub of the prostate, while thrusting slightly slower than how he strokes his penis is a good starting move, but if it's not working get into a position where he has more control, and let him lead the pegging. Position. Position. Position. You're wielding a appendage that's not connected to your nervous system like an actual penis.
It cannot give you complete feedback about the other person's asshole, so things might be awkward; they might be tiring because you're working a new muscle group. Listen, ask questions, and stop if it hurts! The last thing you want to do is damage the fragile tissue needed for regular bowel movements, or condition the body to associate pegging with pain.
It's possible to orgasm from pegging, pegging and being pegged. It can improve your relationship dynamics, refine your communication skills, and enhance your sex life. Slow, steady, and smart. Stay curious. All of these strap ons are from Adam & Eve. You can get them and many other products like condoms, lube, sex cushions, and sex swings on their website AdamandEve.comThey'll give you 50% off of an eligible item in your shopping cart if you use the discount code DOE, plus free shipping in the US and Canada.

This article introduces a novel database on investment treaties called the Electronic Database of Investment Treaties (EDIT). We describe the genesis of the database and what makes EDIT the most comprehensive and systematic database to date. What stands out besides the coverage is that treaties are all provided in one single language (English) and in one single format that is machine-readable. In the second part of the article, we provide selected illustrations on how the data can be used to address research questions in international law, international political economy, and international relations by applying text-as-data methods and by extracting and visualizing data based on EDIT.

Green meat is the future and it starts today
BEEF 2018. Allan Reinikka ROK120518abeef13
by MEGB2

25th Jul 2019 11:32 AM
GREEN meat is the new reality for a select few beef producers across the country who are opting to reduce their carbon footprint.
While The North Australian Pastoral Company have been selling their version Five Founders for the past six months, today they officially launched their range of carbon neutral beef.
NAPCO General Manager Stephen Moore said the meat looks and tastes the same as regular beef but has less impact on the environment.
"It's more about the pathway and the journey that it's taken," Mr Moore said.
"When you look at carbon emissions, we are offsetting these emissions in animal production, processes and in transport."
Even before a calf is born, the company have ensured the impact on the environment will be as little as possible.
Mr Moore said genetics and feed were just two impacts considered when reducing carbon emissions.
"We select genetics so we have optimum feed conversion," he said.
NAPCO general manager for corporate & commercial affairs Stephen Moore. Contributed
The move means the genetics of cattle who produce the most mass when fed the same amount are utilised, which ultimately reduces the number of cattle and processes required.
"It's about having a productive heard," Mr Moore said.
The carbon neutral beef produced by NAPCO also has a full trace of visibility with all cattle born, bred and delivered for process by the company.
"All our cattle come from our properties," he said.
The process ensures the cattle have been part of the minimal-emission journey since birth.
"It means looking at looking at what we can feed the animal, looking at supplements and looking at reducing methane," he said.
Cattle used in the Five Founders program are transported minimal distances to reduce emissions.
The company are also working towards converting traditional sources of energy to a natural alternative.
Diesel bores are being switched for solar as the company removes the reliance on traditional energy supply.
"We want to decrease carbon emissions," Mr Moore said.
While only a small number of cattle are being used in production, Mr Moore said the company had the capacity to expand if there was demand.
"We try and respond to what the market is asking for," he said.
"We are very confident in the product."
The Five Founders brand has been worked on for the past 18 months.

"Country serenity in the city". That is the marketing slogan of Utalii Hotel, Nairobi, one of the very good government hotels in Nairobi. If you have been there, you must have seen the truth of it. Operated under the Ministry of Tourism and a part of Kenya Utalii College, Utalii Hotel probably offers the best cuisine in Nairobi (within its class), it being also the training hotel for the college.
Utalii Hotel (and college) offers various conferencing facilities, notably for use by government departments and state corporations. With generally affordable rates compared to other private hotels in its class, Utalii's conference and accommodation facilities are normally heavily booked, sometimes months in advance. The college side has a big hall popular with government departments that want to hold big conferences or have schedules involving many people.
Utalii is also famous for hosting private functions including wedding parties and fundraisers. On national days and other holidays, there is always a special menu for patrons, prepared by its experts in the line of food and beverage.
The University of Nairobi is one of the prime users of Utalii Hotel facilities through its various units, and at various forums, members of the University of Nairobi Community have expressed great satisfaction with the services offered at Utalii Hotel.
The University is therefore proud to be associated, and to partner with Utalii Hotel.

Q: Repository & stored procedure In my repository, I have a method to execute my stored procedure like this:
public DbRawSqlQuery<TEntity> SQLQuery<TEntity>(string SQL, params object[] Parameters)
{
    return _context.Database.SqlQuery<TEntity>(SQL, Parameters);
}

And in WPF window, I call the above method like this:
private void btnTest_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    using (UnitOfWork DB = new UnitOfWork())
    {
        SqlParameter P1 = new SqlParameter("FName", SqlDbType.NVarChar) { Value = "Ali" };
        SqlParameter P2 = new SqlParameter("LName", SqlDbType.NVarChar) { Value = "Karimi" };
        SqlParameter P3 = new SqlParameter("Age", SqlDbType.Int) { Value = 30 };

        DB.SP_Test.SQLQuery("SP_Test @FName, @LName, @Age", P1, P2, P3);
    }
}

But I get an error :

Error  CS0411
The type arguments for method 'StoredProcedureRepository.SQLQuery(string, params object[])' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly.

What does this error mean? How to fix it?

I'm not on Faceboook, but my husband is. Or was, I guess. He's sort of on hiatus. I will pop on his account (with his permission) and see what's going on in the world of our people.
A few days ago, on the top of his feed were some pictures of a little girl of a friends of ours sitting in an ambulance. There was a lot of text thanking people for prayers, but immediately my eyes were drawn to the words Type 1 Diabetes.
And with that, we welcomed another into our family.
We first met N and her family almost three years ago. We were part of a group camping our to get our kids into the dual language program at our school. They have a girl Elise's age, and another girl who is only a week older than Lucas.
N has always been wonderful in regards to Elise's diabetes. She was a room mom and would always contact me about what goodies were going to be offered at the parties. She would ask questions about what Elise could eat, or what would be a better alternative. They walked with Team Elise, even after they moved to another state and happened to be in town during the last walk. Things like that mean the world to us and Elise... especially when people who live in town can't even be bothered.
It was the younger daughter who was dx'd. Her name is V and she's just about as sweet and precocious as they come. I spent some time on the phone with her Mom, and I can tell they will rock life with type 1. I just wished they lived closer.
As much as I hate hearing about another child being diagnosed, these are the ones hurt that the worst.

June's restaurant reviews
By Time & Leisure
We check out foodie hotspots in south west London and Surrey, including Rick Stein, The French Table and the Dining Room in Beaverbrook Hotel
Rick Stein, Barnes
While the riverside setting may not quite be Padstow, Rick Stein's south west London outpost offers us city folk a tranquil spot to try the famous chef's philosophy of amazingly fresh fish and seafood.
With his two sons at the helm – Jack as chef director, and Charlie as wine buyer, and the appropriately named Ian Salmon as head chef, the premise is informal yet elegant dining with the emphasis on fish and seafood classics, as well as dishes inspired by Rick's travels.
With a coveted window table, we enjoyed the sun set over the Thames while we perused the menu. It took a while – there were just so many things that we really wanted to eat. We opted for the sashimi – a pretty and spankingly fresh plate of sea bass, sea trout, scallops and tuna; and deep fried coconut prawns with a papaya dipping sauce. The prawns were the stuff of dreams – my weird food-obsessed dreams anyway – and even now I am still thinking about this dish – so simple but so moreish… and wondering if I can get it via Deliveroo.
For mains, we tried fillet of hake in a broth of clams with asparagus and peas – it was super-fresh and simple but we did find ourselves reaching for the salt cellar. Roast troncon of wild turbot, meanwhile, was an incredible dish – again simple, but with the hollandaise adding that extra dimension.
I don't have a sweet tooth – unless there happens to be tarte tatin on the menu. And I was glad we decided to squeeze in afters too, with the tarte an absolutely perfect example of the classic dessert.
Rick always swore he would never open a London restaurant – but given he spends a fair amount of the year at his house just over the river in Chiswick, he clearly couldn't resist the chance to turn what was The Depot into his latest outpost. We are just extremely glad he did. This is a great addition to the neighbourhood, and one to which we'll return…

The French Table, Surbiton
The French Table has been around for aeons – 18 years this year, in fact. And it has won plaudit after plaudit, including several of our Food & Culture awards, for its modern French-inspired food, excellent service and terrific wine list. It is a smart place, and a special occasion destination. I have been several times before, but always in the evening and always thought of it as somewhere for a celebration. It was not a place I had really considered for a weekday lunch. Clearly, others had, and when we went to try it out on a drizzly Thursday lunchtime, we were surprised by how pleasantly busy it was – people lured perhaps by the promise of three courses for £28.50 (£25.50 for two). It is a lovely light filled room, even on such a grey day, and we were happy to be cocooned inside.
For starters we tried a smoked heirloom tomato tartelette with burrata and wild garlic pesto – a perfect combination of the creamy cheese cut with the sweet acidity of the tomato and pesto. For mains, Cornish lamb with smoked spätzle, roasted apricot, goats cheese curd, and white asparagus was a beautiful and clever combination, with the lamb presented as both a fat medium-rare saddle and parcel of slow-cooked leg. We also tried roast hake with a delightfully light lemon and herb crust.
For dessert, we went for a stunningly presented rhubarb and custard tarte with lychee ice cream, and an apple tarte with cinnamon ice cream. Great finales to the meal, and one that had lasted well over two hours. We hadn't realised the time slipping by in this tranquil place – you can, of course, request a quick business lunch – but that really would be a pity.

The Dining Room, Beaverbrook Hotel
Heading up the long driveway to the main house at Beaverbrook Hotel in Leatherhead, you're overcome with an enormous sense of grandeur – my name had already been radioed ahead via the guard at the gate. So after pulling up outside the late-Victorian mansion, we were escorted from the car to the restaurant in a seamless transition. Before I knew it, my coat had been whisked away, and we were sat a cosy corner for two overlooking Beaverbrook's vast grounds, which has seen the likes of Winston Churchill and Rudyard Kipling wander some of its 470 acres.
Finding it hard to peel my eyes away from the glorious view, glowing a magnificent orange from the setting sun, I take a minute to observe the surroundings of The Dining Room – Beaverbrook's Japanese Grill. I'm taken by surprise as instead of bold reds and dark hues, the interiors are elegant, muted and much more in-keeping with a luxury country-house chic. And while, it seems rather yin and yang to have modern Japanese cuisine served in a traditional British setting – as we all know, opposites attract, and the menu soon grabbed my attention.
I love Japanese food, my only bugbear is that it's impossible to try everything. After perusing for some time, while munching on a bowl of moreish chilli Edamame, we opted for the Beaverbrook Tasting Menu – consisting of nine different courses. Highlights for me were the Popcorn Shrimp, covered in the lightest tempura; the Yellowtail Sashimi which, accompanied by wasabi and aubergine, was divine and the Cornfed Baby Chicken with Teriyaki and truffles – the skin so crispy and meat so tender, I could have licked the plate clean.
In fact, the most outstanding dish wasn't even on the tasting menu. Our sommelier happened to mention that the Black Cod Den Miso and Yuzu Miso was his favourite dish, so we went with the flow and ordered that too. The cod was cooked to perfection, falling apart in huge chunks and flavoured with the right balance of sweet and saltiness.
And while you may feel you're sitting down to afternoon tea when you first arrive, appearances are deceptive. Head chef Taiji Maruyama has successfully married local, seasonal ingredients, some of which is grown in Beaverbrook's own gardens, with excellent Japanese fare – enough to rival any of the revered Japanese restaurants in the city. The great thing is, I don't have to go into London now to get my sushi fix, I can just head to Surrey Hills instead.

Though he s most famous for his comic book work featuring The Simpsons, Bill Morrison began his career as an illustrator working mostly in the field of motion picture advertising. He s painted dozens of memorable movie posters, many for Walt Disney Pictures animated films, including Bambi, Cinderella, Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, The Prince and the Pauper, Rollercoaster Rabbit, The Little Mermaid, and many more. When The Simpsons creator Matt Groening founded Bongo Comics, he hired Morrison as art director. Bill drew the very first Simpsons comic story and has had a hand in every Bongo comic book to date, either writing, penciling, inking or supervising. Morrison also worked with Groening on early character designs for the TV show Futurama and served as the series art director. In his spare time, Bill has written and drawn his own comic book series, the four-time Eisner Award™-nominated Roswell, Little Green Man, and co-created two comic book series; Heroes Anonymous, and Lady Robotika, the latter with Jane Wiedlin of the legendary all-female rock band, The Go-Go s. Bill is extremely excited to have contributed to The Pixar Collection, paying homage to the most comic book inspired film of them all, "The Incredibles". With a creative nod to the historic cover of "Teen Titans #1", Bill infuses all the action and promise of adventure that classic comic book covers are so beloved for.

Abstract: The following chapters constitute the beginning of a historical fiction crime novel set in 1928 New Orleans. After losing her job as a telephone operator, Marilyn "Skid" Calwell returns to her roots as a singer and male impersonator in the underground world of speakeasies. She quickly forms an attraction with the secretive bartender, Louise Patin. When Skid begins to pry into Louise's past, she uncovers a history of deceit, theft, and treachery, as the Patin family estate has been taken from Louise by her brother-in-law, Warren Clairmont, who Louise believes is responsible for the death of her sister Michelle. Skid agrees to help Louise steal from Warren's jewelry store on Victoria Street in an attempt to buy back the estate. When things go south, Louise is forced to leave Skid to the police, and Warren refuses to return the home. Louise breaks Skid out of jail, and together the two must find a way to take down Warren and get the estate back. All the while, their feelings for each other burn hotter than a shot of bathtub gin.


Any way they slice it, chefs all over the world know how hard it is to imitate a New York pizza. Nobody's really sure why. Some say it's because of the unique minerals in New York City water. Others just shrug their shoulders and stuff their mouths.
A real New York pizza should be wide and the hand-tossed crust should be thin, so you can easily fold it into a V. Fresh mozzarella is a must, and a good pie's never drowning in tomato sauce. New York City even provides a list of what they believe are the top pizza places in the city, although you may find that many different pizzerias can accommodate your taste buds. There's some difference of opinion about where pizza was invented, but aficionados say New York pizza was first served by Gennaro Lombardi who opened a grocery store on Spring Street in Manhattan more than 100 years ago. In 1905, when he began selling tomato pies by the piece to workers who came to his store looking for something to take to work for lunch, America's first pizzeria was born. Lombardi's closed its doors in 1984, but ten years later Gennaro's grandson Jerry reopened down the block. You can find Lombardi's Pizza at 32 Spring Street, where they're still serving up coal-fired oven pizza, prepared with fresh ingredients and original Italian sauce. Pictures on the walls proudly show the history of the restaurant, a favorite with locals and tourists. Stop by for a slice and see what you think.
Where's the best place to get a taste? Depends on whom you ask. New Yorkers pledge their allegiance to pizza places they way sports fans do to their teams. Fans of Lombardi's, Arturo's and John's Pizzeria head to the Village to get their fill. Cross the East River to see why at Di Fara, Totonno's and Grimaldi's have a few locations. Totonno's on Coney Island opened up shop in 1924 and is the oldest continuously-operating pizzeria in the US. Throughout the state, you will discover that there are 'special' pizza parlors doing a brisk business that the locals will head to when a pizza pie is on the menu. Adventure out and find your own favorite!

Australia and NZ banned guns after gun massacres with resultantly fewer guns death. Banning guns/making them harder to access also reduces suicide rates by firearms which is an added bonus.

Just what gun owners needed - expanded rights and protections in the US…
Supreme Court ruling expands US gun rights
The US Supreme Court has struck down a New York law restricting gun-carrying rights, in its most important judgement on guns in over a decade.
It expands gun rights amid a fierce national debate over the issue.
The decision, which jeopardises similar regulations in states like California and New Jersey, is expected to allow more people to carry guns legally.
About a quarter of Americans live in states that could be affected if their own rules are challenged.
The court found that a New York law requiring residents to prove "proper cause" to carry concealed firearms in public violates the US Constitution.
Justice Clarence Thomas, writing on behalf of the six conservative judges who make up the court's majority, ruled that Americans have a right to carry "commonly used" firearms in public for personal defence.
The three liberal justices - Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer - dissented, meaning they disagreed with the majority opinion.
The decision comes amid deep political divisions over how to address gun violence, which were intensified by high-profile shootings at a primary school in Uvalde, Texas, and a grocery store in Buffalo, New York last month.
Ahead of the Supreme Court ruling, the US Senate had announced steps towards new legislation tightening access to firearms.
US President Joe Biden said he was "deeply disappointed" by the court decision, which he said "contradicts both common sense and the Constitution, and should trouble us all".
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said he would review other ways to restrict gun access, such as by tightening the application process for buying firearms and looking at bans at certain locations.
"We cannot allow New York to become the wild, wild west," he added.
The National Rifle Association (NRA), on the other hand, celebrated the judgement.
The gun lobby had helped back plaintiffs in the case, Robert Nash and Brandon Koch - two New Yorkers who had applied for a concealed carry permit but were denied them, despite having licences for recreational gun ownership.
More than 390 million guns are owned by civilians in the US. In 2020 alone, more than 45,000 Americans died from firearms-related injuries including homicides and suicides.
Thursday's decision from the top US court continued a steady pattern of rulings that have expanded gun rights, holding that the right to carry firearms both at home and in public is guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
Even in the shadow of mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo, the six-justice majority on the Supreme Court stood by a broad interpretation of the Second Amendment first outlined by a narrower court majority in 2008.
The last landmark gun decision issued by the court was in 2010, which affirmed the right to bear arms for states as well as individuals.
As these court precedents pile up, it will be increasingly difficult for future Supreme Court justices to change course and interpret the Constitution as permitting broader gun restrictions.
In his dissent, Justice Breyer noted that gun violence has taken a significant number of lives in the US this year.
"Since the start of this year alone (2022), there have already been 277 reported mass shootings - an average of more than one per day," he said.

Absolutely horrific.
Three police die in 'pure hell' Kentucky shooting
Three police officers have been shot dead in the US state of Kentucky while trying to serve a warrant on a man accused of domestic violence.
Police took the 49-year-old suspect into custody after the shooting.
Floyd County Sheriff John Hunt said the officers had faced "pure hell" when they arrived at the man's home.
Four other people were injured at the scene in Allen, a small town in a mountainous part of eastern Kentucky with a population of just 166.
The officers who died in the shooting late on Thursday have been named as Capt Ralph Frasure, Deputy William Petry and dog handler Jacob Chaffins.
K9 Drago, one of the dogs that Mr Chaffins handled, also died.
Capt Frasure had been with the Prestonsburg, Kentucky, Police Department for 39 years. The department said he had served "with honor and glory up until the last second".
The men ran into a barrage of gunfire from a rifle when they went to the house on Main Street shortly before 19:00 local time (midnight GMT).
The shooting continued for nearly three hours before suspect Lance Storz was taken into custody, having surrendered after negotiations involving members of his family.
He has been charged with two counts of murdering a police officer, five counts of attempted murder of a police officer, one count of attempted murder and one count of first-degree assault on a service animal.
"This is a tough morning for our commonwealth," Kentucky state governor Andy Beshear said in a social media post.
"Floyd County and our brave first responders suffered a tragic loss last night."
Kentucky State Police troopers are leading an investigation into the shooting.

I don't even know what the point is in posting about this stuff now, half of America couldn't care less about this stuff, they will just do the thoughts and prayers and go back to work.
I think it's just so odd as most of us live in countries where something like this happening actually means something, in America it's just another day.

True. When I read the post about the Copenhagen shooting that mentioned Denmark's last mass shooting was in 2015, I couldn't help but ask myself what would go through an American's mind when reading this. But they would probably just attribute that to Denmark being tiny, without doing the actual math and comparing per capita.
I personally can't even imagine living in a country where dying from a bullet (either accidentally or intentionally) is a tangible risk and not just an afterthought.

I've seen Americans saying Denmark have gun laws and they are still having mass shootings like the last time wasn't 7 years ago . . . . they will reach for anything.
It's completely normalised now and doesn't even seem like news. Politics has become so polarised in the US that there's no common sense and it's all about defeating the 'other'. I wonder at what point something will change

I couldn't help but ask myself what would go through an American's mind when reading this. .
Well, my thought was that it was highly unusual to happen in Europe because I'm aware of the stricter gun laws there. We could only wish there was one shooting every seven years in my state alone. As many here would agree, stricter gun laws are sorely needed. For myself, I've done my best with my voting record and protest appearances. But this country is hamstrung by an undemocratic process and a misread Constitution that dooms us from making meaningful changes, and so I remain frustratingly powerless and distraught every time something like this happens.
half of America couldn't care less about this stuff
but apparently that must not be a right answer since I'm American and most of us are self-righteous, illiterate, and don't care about any of this "stuff"

Nothing is going to change as the people in power don't want that change, it's never going to change as their children will come up and run things and so on etc.
I honestly wouldn't be able to bear that level of frustration. There's a lot going wrong in my country, but compared to the US it seems pretty close to paradise.
I just wish someone, somewhere, could come up with an answer that makes people realise change needs to happen. But I don't think it ever will - it's almost sixty years since JFK was assassinated and if that wasn't motivation to make a constitutional change, nothing will be.
I love American politics as I find it much more engaging that British (though Boris and his lot keep the content coming almost on an hourly basis nowadays) but it's such a broken system when you get into it, and it's very easy for the POTUS to find themselves powerless once they're in office.
But it's more fundamental than that - the problem is there isn't a cultural desire amongst the majority to change gun laws (or so they'd have you think). I wish Biden or someone would hold a simple informational vote and establish what people actually want, regardless of political belief.
As far as I can see, that's the only real way to get a real conversation started on a constitutional change. I'm sure there's opinion polls etc, but a non binding, non party vote across the country asking one simple question has to have some merit.

i am very shocked. Why is there a need to fire 90 shots at 1 person?
I've been following this and the amount of gunshots though is completely excessive - surely the point is to incapacitate not kill?
I can understand if some of the officers thought they might have missed in the dark, but there was a pretty good chance one of them got him. The fact five or six officers (I think) ended up shooting more than ten bullets each, to me anyway, suggests they all received the same training.
I don't know what the guy was running from but none of this would have happened if guns were banned. It would never happen in the UK as our police don't carry guns.

10 years ago today, there was a shooting in my city - 12 people were gunned down in a movie theater for a midnight showing of Batman, which had opened that week. One of the dead was a parent of kids who attended my son's day care at the time. I would sign my son out every day and see her kids' names . It hit me every day how awful it was that they lost their mother.
This story was posted today - the father of one of the men shot that day. He still goes to the theater and tries to pick a seat next to the one where his son was sitting when he was shot so he can feel like they are watching movies together. Sometimes these human elements are forgotten when you're looking at a number - 12 people died, but the impact on our community was so much more than that number.
I was reading a story the other day about an attempted shooting in a mall, but a 22 year old pulled out a gun and shot the gunman - leading people to praise him for carrying a gun and using a gun to stop a mass shooting.
Had neither been legally allowed to own and carry a gun, the whole incident wouldn't have happened - but some Americans refuse to see that side of the coin.
And that's exactly what frustrates me the most about the whole situation: Mass shootings are so common in the US, that every single time I read about one, I already know that people may talk about it, but by next week it will be nothing more than a statistic, only referenced when the next shooting happens and they pull up the numbers of recent times (if even).
People who weren't there "get over it" so quickly… and who can blame them when the next incident is just a short while away?
I can't even imagine how it must feel to be one of the people whose family got destroyed, when, after a short spell of media attention, nobody seems to care anymore and everything continues as it was before. Going through all of that, very much knowing that others will suffer the same fate. I really like to believe that at least the affected communities don't forget and keep supporting each other. But ultimately, it must feel like your loss "doesn't matter" in the grand scheme of things.
If I had suffered through that I would go berserk every time another shooting happens and politicians pop up on my screen regurgitating the same lip service over and over again.
I truly feel for everyone who has ever been affected by something like this. It must be so hard.
If I had suffered through that I would go berserk every time another shooting happens
This is the bit I don't understand. I completely agree with you and I'd be incredibly motivated to ensure it wouldn't happen to someone else, but this is half the problem (as I see it) - where is the anger and the outrage in the US? Where is the action? Where is the fight? It's not just gun control, look at abortions - it feels like now the decision has been made, it's accepted and life continues.
This is just me looking inwards from the outside, but we have seen big mass movements start in the US and spill out into global change - look at how BLM has changed the world. As a spectator, I don't see any of the same fight, passion, anger, outrage etc being applied to fighting gun control. The other side of the coin is that I don't see people or companies in positions of power with great influence speaking out and doing anything about it. Companies like Apple, Disney and Amazon essentially have the clout to take a very public and a very real stand. If they wanted to, they could really rock the boat and make significant noise.
But like I said in an earlier post, this is a country that still refused to change their constitution when their own president was shot and killed on home ground by one of their own. Somehow they have all been brainwashed into believing it is their birth right to own a gun and gaslit into believing that there is nothing they can do about it.

Q: Conditional row formatting jQuery cells in two consecutive row with different values Need to color cells in consecutive row with different formating different from other cells. Conditional raw formating
Pseudopcode would be something like:
foreach oddrow in table
    foreach cell in row
        if cellvalue != previosCellvalue(previous even)
              color differently

For example:

      1	2

      1	3

      2	4

      2	4

In above table row one cell two and row two cell two will be styled different, all other will retain their style.

A: You tagged it with jQuery, so a solution is:
http://jsfiddle.net/kWeNY/
var last, inner;
$('table tr').each(function(i,tr) {
    inner = $.trim($(tr).html());
    if (inner == last) {
        $(tr).css('background-color', 'red');
    }
    last = inner;
});

Well. With your additional pseudo algorithm you can also check only each second row with: http://jsfiddle.net/gbw49/
var last, inner;
$('table tr').each(function(i,tr) {
    inner = $.trim($(tr).html());
    if (inner == last && i % 2) {
        $(tr).css('background-color', 'red');
    }
    last = inner;
});

A: try using
$('table tr td:nth-child(2)')

something like this to add css:
$(document).ready(function () {
        $('table tr td:nth-child(2)').css("background", "red");
        $('table tr td:nth-child(2)').css("color", "blue");

    });

and if you only want to do that for row 1 and row 2, try
