There are some very good tracks here, most notably "Surfers Rule" and "Stairway." The Wavers sound is dryer than most, lighter too, but very satisfying. Check it out.
"Once Upon A Time In Waverland" has a galloping rhythm and spaghetti western melody. It's a little dry, and way too short. The melody line carries forward into "King Of San Felipe."
An excellent melody and mechanical beat with dry guitars. "King Of San Felipe" is compositionally interesting. It seems to me to beg for a more sympathetic arrangement and sound, and more fluid melody delivery. I don't mean that to sound harsh. I really like the writing.
"Ding 'o' Stomp" has a fun riff and beat. It's a simple riff rocker sort of song, but its innocent fun makes that not matter.
Mournful guitar notes open "Guarda Che Luna," which quickly evolves into a kind of "Godfather"-ish song. Double picked and fun, with a great rhythm section.
"Coconut" sports an island sound, with a gentle and summery melody. It makes you recall vacations past. Sun, lagoons, and wahines!
"Calavera" has a happy sound, with a playful melody and upbeat tempo. The melody is circular and warm, as are the chords. The psych wah-wah break is brief and a nice counterpoint.
With an unusual, slightly choppy riff, and a jammy bridge, "Vanilla Caos" is much more a rocker than surf.
Organ rides lightly in the background as an easy melody with dramatic bridges holds sway. The break is good enough to be a song on its own. I really like this track!
"Heaven" is a splendid surf treatment of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven." While just under three minutes, all of the elements of the original are woven in, but it's at a more modern surf pace. This is thoroughly cool! Suffice it to say you must hear this track!
This acoustic guitar solo (well, two guitars) is lovely and very well played. It isn't really surf, but it is a wonderful track. Superb playing and writing.

Adding content to Elasticsearch
----------------------------------------------

examples:

    import "github.com/hailocab/elastigo/api"
    import "github.com/hailocab/elastigo/core"

    type Tweet struct {
      User     string    `json:"user"`
      Message  string    `json:"message"`
    }

    // Set the Elasticsearch Host to Connect to
    api.Domain = "localhost"
    // api.Port = "9300"

    // add single go struct entity
    response, _ := core.Index(true, "twitter", "tweet", "1", Tweet{"kimchy", "Search is cool"})

    // you have bytes
    tw := Tweet{"kimchy", "Search is cool part 2"}
    bytesLine, err := json.Marshall(tw)
    response, _ := core.Index(true, "twitter", "tweet", "2", bytesLine)

    // Bulk Indexing
    core.IndexBulk("twitter", "tweet", "3", &time.Now(), Tweet{"kimchy", "Search is now cooler"})

    // Search Using Raw json String
    searchJson := `{
        "query" : {
            "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
        }
    }`
    out, err := core.SearchRequest(true, "twitter", "tweet", searchJson, "")
    if len(out.Hits.Hits) == 1 {
      fmt.Println(string(out.Hits.Hits[0].Source))
    }

Search DSL Examples
-------------------------

A Faceted, ranged Search using the `Search DSL` :

    import "github.com/hailocab/elastigo/api"
    import "github.com/hailocab/elastigo/core"

    // Set the Elasticsearch Host to Connect to
    api.Domain = "localhost"
    // api.Port = "9300"

    out, err := Search("github").Size("1").Facet(
      Facet().Fields("actor").Size("500"),
    ).Query(
      Query().Range(
         Range().Field("created_at").From("2012-12-10T15:00:00-08:00").To("2012-12-10T15:10:00-08:00"),
      ).Search("add"),
    ).Result()

A Ranged Search using the `Search DSL` :

    out, err := Search("github").Type("Issues").Pretty().Query(
      Query().Range(
         Range().Field("created_at").From("2012-12-10T15:00:00-08:00").To("2012-12-10T15:10:00-08:00"),
      ).Search("add"),
    ).Result()

A Simple Search using the `Search DSL` :

    out, err := Search("github").Type("Issues").Size("100").Search("add").Result()

A Direct Search using the api :

    qry := map[string]interface{}{
      "query":map[string]interface{}{
         "term":map[string]string{"user:"kimchy"},
      },
    }
    core.SearchRequest(true, "github", "Issues", qry, "", 0)

A Direct Search using the query string Api :

    core.SearchUri("github", "Issues", "user:kimchy", "", 0)

A Filtered search `Search DSL` :

    out, err := Search("github").Filter(
      Filter().Exists("repository.name"),
    ).Result()

Adding content to Elasticsearch in Bulk
----------------------------------------------

example:

    import "github.com/hailocab/elastigo/api"
    import "github.com/hailocab/elastigo/core"

    // Set the Elasticsearch Host to Connect to
    api.Domain = "localhost"
    // api.Port = "9300"

    indexor := core.NewBulkIndexorErrors(10, 60)
    done := make(chan bool)
    indexor.Run(done)

    go func() {
      for errBuf := range indexor.ErrorChannel {
        // just blissfully print errors forever
        fmt.Println(errBuf.Err)
      }
    }()
    for i := 0; i < 20; i++ {
      indexor.Index("twitter", "user", strconv.Itoa(i), "", nil, `{"name":"bob"}`)
    }
    done <- true

Has the Pandemic Changed the IT Industry?- PWB
Upon the discovery and global spread of the COVID-19 disease, it was evident that several sectors of the world economy would be affected. When the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern and many jurisdictions declared states of emergency or lockdowns, many technology companies and other workplaces shifted to a work-from-home (WFH) model.
Working from home is not easy. While at home, people may lack adequate resources such as high-speed internet connections, specialized computer hardware and infrastructure, software, coding solution support, team meeting assistance, and other options.
Stay-at-home orders have affected the IT industry. Employees such as software developers have to work from home while providing much-needed expertise during these times.
Given that so many people are conducting their careers and education online, it would be difficult to proceed through the pandemic without the assistance of professional IT services. Despite challenges, the IT industry has strived to keep up with the changing technological landscape and is contributing to many leading technological advancements; a process that has been expedited by the current pandemic.
Other industries have not been left behind. They, too, have been forced to adapt to new ways of life assisted by technology.
The Pandemic and the IT Industry
One major challenge the IT industry is facing is a depressed economy. Many companies are asking their employees to work from home (remotely) due to public health concerns, while others are laying off employees temporarily or permanently because of business woes.
Some companies that work with international workforces and clients are facing stress because pandemic-related travelling restrictions have slowed the movement of goods and services. This can be particularly harmful to smaller IT firms that might have to seek other niches to pursue.
The pandemic's stay-at-home suggestions and travel restrictions led to the cancellation of several conferences and other business opportunities. Some of these conferences could have provided partnership opportunities for companies to expand their prospects.
While some conferences and meetings shifted to virtual forms such as teleconferences, it's possible that the new formats didn't have the same reach. At teleconferences, conference attendees often don't have access to the same networking opportunities they would have if they attended in-person, face-to-face conferences.
Furthermore, some people consider virtual meetings to be boring and disengaging as companies faced losses due to the cancellation of important meetings. But as an upside, people began developing, refining, and using technically advanced video conferencing applications to conduct business, educate students, provide medical assistance, and meet with their friends.
Technological Innovations and the Pandemic
Even though the pandemic is an enormous challenge to human health and many national economies, the IT industry is expected to thrive in the coming years. Demand for mobile applications, software, and social media platforms such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp video services is likely to continue.
These modern teleconferencing and video conferencing tools help families, businesses, governments, and schools. They help people who are in quarantine to stay in touch with their family members and conduct work meetings while they are staying safer away from others.
We have programming professionals to thank for these innovations. The internet and technology help us stay safer while making our lives easier. Such tools can be vital for a business to business transactions and business-to-customer interactions during a pandemic.
How Technology Drives Intelligent Solutions
As lockdowns and stay-at-home suggestions have been issued to address public health issues, creative ideas within various industries have emerged. For example, companies have developed drones that can determine body temperature and heart rate as well as whether people have coughed or are practising social distancing.
Some governments have launched chatbots and mobile applications to keep their citizens updated on situations, address queries and concerns, and minimize the spread of misleading information. Mobile applications have also provided quarantined people with telehealth options, such as virtual medical appointments.
To perform these tasks, 5G technology (the fifth-generation mobile network) has provided support enabling doctor, patient, and test centre coordination. Technology has been a major weapon to fight the pandemic and improve people's lives.
The future of IT
Due to the pandemic, there's a growing need for 5G technology to help increase connections that support remote interactions. Telehealth support is one of the growing industries in the current crisis period. This support helps in the diagnosis and efficient treatment of many people in safer, more distanced ways.
Moreover, grocery delivery, medicine delivery, and eCommerce applications have become more popular as people are going out less. Multiple applications have been launched to help achieve such objectives.
The current pandemic has changed the way we use IT products as well as programming instructions, prompting many companies to invest in these technological changes. IT has helped many during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the question is, when the pandemic ends, will the demand for these IT-based technologies and their market decline? Will IT employees face an economic crisis?
In these times of uncertainty, nobody has an exact answer to these questions (or other questions), but we do know that IT has provided valuable tools for unprecedented times.

Deep in the murky past, the most common method of (legally) watching anime in the US was buying physical media. The format changed over time from wallet-draining VHS tapes to single DVDs, then mercifully to reasonably priced box sets. What you got and how much you paid for it varied from year to year, but one thing was always true: once you bought something, you could (and probably did) binge-watch the whole damn thing. With the advent of streaming simulcasts, we now have the option of watching a new episode of a series each week, just like one might do with new episodes of American TV. With these two options having co-existed for over five years, now seems as good a time as any to ponder how each method influences the viewing experience.
That's right, REAL discs that cost REALLY large amounts of money.
Whether it's sitting down for a streaming catch-up marathon or cracking open a newly released Blu-ray set, there's something about The Binge that appeals to the otaku inside us all. It takes planning, commitment, and a depressingly blank social calendar to watch anime for hour after hour until your eyes are bloodshot and your muscles refuse to move. Being a geek of any kind suggests a proclivity for over-indulging in your hobby of choice, and anime marathons are a perfect example of choosing passion over common sense. Apart from a handful of ego points, though, what do we gain from this style of viewing?
One of the main advantages of The Binge is that the viewer goes into each new episode with the memory of previous events fresh at hand. We spend less time trying to recall what's going on, allowing us to focus more of our attention on what's happening in the moment. Emotions run higher, subtle nuances are more obvious, and the experience as a whole is more immersive. For this reason, marathons can be a great way to watch complex or dramatic shows with lengthy plot arcs.
Sometimes, an anime series will also feel like it was made to be watched in one or two sittings. My most recent experience with this came with The Tatami Galaxy, which I decided to finally check out after enjoying last season's Ping Pong (both series have the same director). The Tatami Galaxy relies heavily on repeated visuals and lines of dialogue, as the story revolves around a college student living out alternate versions of his life depending on what club he chooses to join in his freshman year. The show gets stranger and more unsettling with each passing episode, and watching multiple episodes in a row greatly enhanced the feeling of being trapped in an endless loop. Looking back, I wouldn't have enjoyed The Tatami Galaxy as much as I did if I hadn't crammed the series into a handful of late night binges.
Gosh, I'd love a double-feature set of this and Ping Pong. Looking at YOU, Funimation.
On the other hand, there's always the risk that an anime series will wear out its welcome halfway through a marathon, leaving the viewer too burnt out to finish. Many shows, especially ones with episodic plots or those that rely heavily on one or two appealing elements, don't hold up well when watched as a single chunk of time. In cases like these, the weekly simulcast (or just not doing a full marathon) can be the way to go. I don't think I'd want to watch more than one episode of this season's gag comedy Sabagebu! at a time, but it's entertaining enough that I'll give it half an hour a week. Slice of life series, rapid-fire comedies, and even sports anime are all a bit like shots of whiskey; they're fine in moderation, but too much at once will kill you.
The simulcast style of viewing also comes with a nice side benefit: staying current with a show means you can talk about it with other people without worrying about spoilers. If everyone in the world has only seen up to episode 19 of Haikyu!!, then that means we're all coming from the same place when we discuss how much fun it is to watch the characters get REALLY EXCITED about volleyball. The simulcast style of viewing can provide a great deal of conversational currency as folks chat about what's happened so far and what future episodes might hold. While the marathon embodies the passionate excess of geek life, the weekly simulcast fuels its iconic (and constant) debates.
As much as I'm able to generalize about which method benefits particular genres, the best way to watch anime is however you damn well please. If you want to watch the entirety of Yuruyuri in one day, go for it. If you want to drag out the original Evangelion TV series over half a year, enjoy. Some of the best otaku war stories come from experiencing a series in an unusual way, so don't be afraid to break from the formula whenever you feel like it.

Vivek points out some surprising behavior with master pages.
This works - the @ Page directive overrides web.config and EnableViewState=true appears in the generated code….
… but there is a catch.
From what I can tell - some of the same goo responsible for the parsing and code generation of .aspx files also parses and generates the code for .ascx, and .master files. This goo will read the web.config setting and place EnableViewState=false in the code generated for master pages (and user controls, too).
For ViewState to be available to a control, it's parent must have ViewState enabled. Since a master page injects itself as the direct child of the Page object, having ViewState disabled in the master page shuts off ViewState for everything inside the Page.
"Globally defines page-specific configuration settings, such as ASP.NET directives for pages and controls that are within the scope of the configuration file."
Perhaps ASP.NET is working as designed, but I'd say the behavior is not intuitive in this case.
Thats a nice one - I certainly didnt think it would have worked that way.
I agree, that is a tad bit weird. But well - once you know it, you won't step on that landmine.


The soul food movement attempted to celebrate the culturally and socially important foods of black people that had been negatively portrayed by mainstream America. Soul food restaurants and cookbooks proliferated and innovators, like Princess Pamela (Strobel), Sylvia (Woods), and Vertamae (Grosvenor) in Harlem, were food stars of their day. Introducing and enshrining the treasured foods of southern blacks to a wide audience, they made soul food, like soul music, synonymous with the cultural contributions of black people to American life.
Easter Benson opened her E & A Soul Food Restaurant in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1986. Her menu items reflected the foods and flavors common to the rural African American South. Here restaurant worker Gladys Prior is updating the menu. In 1994 there were at least three soul food restaurants thriving in Paterson.

### INTRODUCTION

Mamesaver is a Windows screen saver that runs MAME with a random game for specified intervals of time.

### REQUIREMENTS
* Microsoft .NET 4.6
* A working installation of MAME. I used 0.200 but older ones will probably work too.
* Some working ROMS which can run in MAME successfully.
* Each ROM that is installed should have been run at least once to remove the initial disclaimer screen as this is the last thing you want to see when the screen saver is running.

### INSTALLATION
Install using the msi installer, or just copy the `Mamesaver.scr` file to your `WINDOWS\SYSTEM32` or `WINNT\SYSTEM32` directory.

### USAGE

Right-click on your desktop and choose Properties. Once the Display Properties dialog has opened navigate to the Screen Saver tab. There you need to choose Mamesaver as your screen saver.

### CONFIGURATION

The first time you choose Mamesaver as your screen saver, you will need to configure it to tell it the right path to MAME and to rebuild your game list. To do this, you need to click on the Settings button on the screen saver dialog (Display Properties dialog) as mentioned in USAGE.

You have a couple of choices for settings on Mamesaver. The most important setting in the beginning is the MAME Path on the General tab. Once this is set you can navigate to the Game List tab and click on Rebuild List. Once this has been run, please select which games you want Mamesaver to run. When you have finished, you may click the OK button.

Other than those main settings, you can also:

* Set the interval at which the game is changed for another; minimum 2 minutes, maximum 1440 minutes (24 hours)
* Set the command line options which are sent to MAME. I recommend leaving the `-skip_gameinfo` option.
* Enable and configure the splash screen with game information
* Enable and configure in-game game information
* Choose which display to start MAME on
* Enable streaming of MAME to other displays. For optimal streaming quality, MAME should start on the highest resolution monitor
* Include games with imperfect emulation
* Enable in-game hotkeys

### FILTERING

Once the game list has been built, it can be filtered by year, manufacturer, category, subcategory and rotation. The purpose of filtering is to increase manageability of game selection, particularly for large collections. Filters are applied in an additive fashion, similar to Excel.

Once filtering has been applied, the select all and select none controls via the game list header are applied to the filtered set only. At any stage, the filtered game list view can be toggled between displaying all games and selected games.

### HOTKEYS

When enabled, the following hotkeys are enabled in-game:

* ← show previous game
* → show next game
* enter exit screensaver and play game
* del deselect game

### COMMENTS

* Including games with imperfect emulation should only be enabled for custom builds of MAME. Unless this is enabled, the game list will only contain games which have passed the MAME ROM audit and have drivers with a status of good. This means that games, which might be partially working but maybe have no sound or some other part of the driver is not working, will not be displayed in this list. The main reason for this is that MAME shows a dialog which expects user input at the beginning of the game, which is the exact opposite of what you would want a screen saver to do.

### LOGGING

If enabled, debug logging is written to `%TEMP%\MameSaver\Logs`. This can be useful to diagnose why Mamesaver may not be running as it should.

Twenty three years ago this spring, I stumbled upon a bargain I couldn't pass up. Little did I realize the power of the story behind my three dollar purchase. As I walk the fields of America's bloodiest day this Saturday, I'll be constantly reminded of the man, the soldier behind that yard sale bargain and what he endured 154 years ago. The story is worth telling again.
The first words on this page would hold my curiosity captive for years to come, "If you die, die like a man." Who could this person be, Oliver C. Case? Who would write should a phrase? As an Army officer who had just returned from war only two years earlier, I could not imagine using these words to encourage a modern American soldier. I had to find out more about this man and his story. It was the beginning of my calling that would only grow stronger with the passage of time. One factual discovery would beg for two more. Never satisfied to accept that learning about this man and his bible had reached their terminal point, I pressed on.
Also, watch the YouTube video: Return of Oliver Case's bible to the place where he died.


Full disclosure: I was deported from Ecuador shortly after Rafeal Correa was elected president and have been following his political career closely ever since. I also met him when he was president-elect.
Last week Ecuador's president, Rafeal Correa, was once more in the news for his courageous aid of a whistleblower. With the help of travel documents from Ecuador, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden made it safely out of Hong Kong and into Moscow. Yesterday Rafael Correa renounced his government's involvement at all and left Snowden hanging in the transit zone of Moscow airport.
One year ago, as Correa was making global headlines for granting asylym to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange he was simultaneously crushing free speech in his own nation, but the focus always remained on Assange. This time the fickle nature of Correa's principles are much more transparent.
"I must express my deep respect for your principles and sincere thanks for your government's action in considering my request for political asylum," Snowden said, according to a letter obtained yesterday by the Press Association news agency, based in London. "There are few world leaders who would risk standing for the human rights of an individual against the most powerful government on earth, and the bravery of Ecuador and its people is an example to the world." Mere hours later, Correa was renouncing the relationship. But why the sudden change of heart? The image presented in Snowden's letter is just the type Correa has worked hard to cultivate.
Correa has acknowledged that he had a very friendly conversation with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden about the issue over the weekend, so it's reasonable to assume the U.S. offered him something more attractive than more media attention.
Another possibility being reported is that Correa is upset that he has to share the spotlight with Julian Assange. Ecuador's president has a history of throwing hissy fits when things don't go his way. There are numerous examples, including one such temper tantrum caught on video.
Correa is a Trojan horse that represents the Worl elite. Socialism XXI is nothing more than project Camelot and Correa has performed exactly as he was suppose to. Build the infraestruture and destroy the nation, leave them with so much debt that it will lose its soverignity .
There is no truth in this article, merely opinion.

How Iron Fist 2 Might Help Fix Netflix's Biggest Marvel Issue
Published: Jul. 30. 2018 1:49 PM
Although the Marvel Netflix series all star heroes that are different enough that The Defenders was a wild ride of good guys learning to work together, they've all followed a similar template each season. Iron Fist is the next superhero series slated to hit the streaming service with its second season in September, and it's breaking out of the mold in a way that could fix Netflix's biggest Marvel issue. Iron Fist Season 2 will run for only 10 episodes.
With the exception of The Defenders, every season of every Marvel show on Netflix has run for 13 episodes. While getting more than a dozen episodes of superhero action sounds great in theory, a common complaint about the shows has been that the plot has dragged and there's been filler to try and stretch the story out to 13 episodes. As much as I can rank some of the Netflix series as among my favorite Marvel projects, I'll admit that some episodes have me glancing at my watch and wondering how much longer certain side plots could last.
Iron Fist's run of only 10 episodes could be exactly what the Marvel shows on Netflix need to hook fans from start to finish. It's no secret that Iron Fist's first season wasn't exactly the most well-received by audiences, and it was always likely that some changes would be in store for the second season. Given that Danny and Colleen were large parts of The Defenders and elements of Iron Fist powered a lot of the Defenders' plot, there's a chance that viewers who enjoyed Iron Fist in the team-up series will be inclined to give Iron Fist another shot.
Perhaps the shorter episode count will prove that Iron Fist found a solid way to change for its own sake as well as possibly set a precedent for other superhero shows on the streaming service. It may be too late for any changes to Daredevil Season 3, which is the next slated to release, but perhaps the episode counts for the next seasons of The Punisher, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage are in store if fans respond well to 10 episodes of Iron Fist.
This is only the latest news to come out recently about Iron Fist Season 2. At San Diego Comic-Con, the first full trailer was released (and you can watch it here), and the premiere date was revealed as Friday, September 7 at 12:01 a.m. PT on Netflix. Footage revealed Danny wearing the classic Iron Fist mask, and we learned the identity of Alice Eve's character: Typhoid Mary, once rumored as a villain on Jessica Jones.
Only a little over a month is left before viewers can see for themselves if the 10 episodes of Season 2 beats the 13 episodes of Season 1 and all the seasons of the other solo superhero series on Netflix. For some streaming options in the meantime, check out our 2018 Netflix premiere guide. If streaming isn't always your things, swing by our summer TV schedule and our brand new fall TV guide.

television 5 Comic Book Characters Alexandra Breckenridge Would Be Perfect To Play


"Shaolin Soccer" -- the predecessor to "Kung Fu Hustle", this one spoofs the kung-fu movie scene in the context of soccer. Duh. I watched the dub on my parents' "tiny" 32" screen (no surround-sound, either), and the beginning was really, really painful. I'm sure the dub was meant to be over-the-top bad, but it didn't make it any easier to sit through. However, once the zany soccer-playing action finally kicked in, it was quite amusing. It's not as all-out fun as "Kung Fu Hustle" turned out to be, but it's worth a quick watch.
"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" -- Married assassins (played by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) who don't know that each other is an assassin. For rival organizations. Obviously, hilarity ensues. Obviously it's a light bit of fun, grafting a typical comedy "relationship" movie on top of a spy movie parody. Fun action, the dialogue wasn't a total groaner, and, frankly, Brad & Angelina were waaayyy into it (go figure), and that enthusiasm was rather infectuous. Again, it was on the "small" screen w/o any surround-sound, subwoofery goodness, but it did alright for passing the time.
"War of the Worlds" -- finally, back at my "home theater", I decided to give this one a rent, even though I usually have a "wait for cable" attitude for any film with Tom Cruise in it. Honestly, the only reason I bothered was because Blockbuster didn't have any copies of "Serenity" handy; oh well, maybe next time.
That said, it wasn't half bad. The visuals and the atmosphere really pulled off a sense of scale of the invasion. Speilberg can really pile on the details when he wants to. But there were also a number of nagging inconsistencies that tended to pull me out of the story. Usually revolving around who had "power" and who didn't after the EMP pulses took everything out. The most notable being a bunch of dormant cars on a perfectly functional ferry. And then the very end; but I won't go into that here. Minor stuff, though.
It seemed to follow what details I know about the original story a bit better than the earlier Cold-War-era classic. But I only know the equivalent of the Cliff Notes version of it, so I can't vouch for it's authenticity in the matter. But it seemed to keep a few faithfully reproduced details.

Drug name Remicade®
INN Infliximab
API type Infliximab is a chimeric human-murine IgG1 monoclonal antibody produced in murine hybridoma cells by recombinant DNA technology. After reconstitution each ml contains 10 mg of infliximab.
tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) inhibitors
L04AB02

General function Infliximab is indicate for rheumatoid arthritis, Adult and paediatric Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, ankylosing spondylitis and psoriasis.
Infliximab is a chimeric human-murine monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to both soluble and transmembrane forms of TNFα but not to lymphotoxin α (TNFß).
Pharmacodynamic properties (Pharmacodynamic effects; Source EMA document) Infliximab inhibits the functional activity of TNFα in a wide variety of in vitro bioassays. Infliximab prevented disease in transgenic mice that develop polyarthritis as a result of constitutive expression of human TNFα and when administered after disease onset, it allowed eroded joints to heal. In vivo, infliximab rapidly forms stable complexes with human TNFα, a process that parallels the loss of TNFα bioactivity.
Elevated concentrations of TNFα have been found in the joints of rheumatoid arthritis patients and correlate with elevated disease activity. In rheumatoid arthritis, treatment with infliximab reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells into inflamed areas of the joint as well as expression of molecules mediating cellular adhesion, chemoattraction and tissue degradation. After infliximab treatment, patients exhibited decreased levels of serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and increased haemoglobin levels in rheumatoid arthritis patients with reduced haemoglobin levels, compared with baseline. Peripheral blood lymphocytes further showed no significant decrease in number or in proliferative responses to in vitro mitogenic stimulation when compared with untreated patients' cells. In psoriasis patients, treatment with infliximab resulted in decreases in epidermal inflammation and normalization of keratinocyte differentiation in psoriatic plaques. In psoriatic arthritis, short term treatment with Remicade reduced the number of T-cells and blood vessels in the synovium and psoriatic skin.
Histological evaluation of colonic biopsies, obtained before and 4 weeks after administration of infliximab, revealed a substantial reduction in detectable TNFα. Infliximab treatment of Crohn's disease patients was also associated with a substantial reduction of the commonly elevated serum inflammatory marker, CRP. Total peripheral white blood cell counts were minimally affected in infliximab-treated patients, although changes in lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils reflected shifts towards normal ranges. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from infliximab-treated patients showed undiminished proliferative responsiveness to stimuli compared with untreated patients, and no substantial changes in cytokine production by stimulated PBMC were observed following treatment with infliximab. Analysis of lamina propria mononuclear cells obtained by biopsy of the intestinal mucosa showed that infliximab treatment caused a reduction in the number of cells capable of expressing TNFα and interferonγ. Additional histological studies provided evidence that treatment with infliximab reduces the infiltration of inflammatory cells into affected areas of the intestine and the presence of inflammation markers at these sites. Endoscopic studies of intestinal mucosa have shown evidence of mucosal healing in infliximab-treated patients.

If you have any pain while brushing your teeth or have any questions about how to brush properly, please be sure to call the office at Springville Family Dental Center Phone Number 205-467-6147.
Dr. Ronderos recommends using a soft to medium tooth brush. Position the brush at a 45 degree angle where your gums and teeth meet. Gently move the brush in a circular motion several times using small, gentle strokes brushing the outside surfaces of your teeth. Use light pressure while putting the bristles between the teeth, but not so much pressure that you feel any discomfort.

Time Zone in New Delhi, Delhi, India
IST — India Standard Time
Current Offset: UTC/GMT +5:30 hours
Difference: 10:30 hours ahead of New York
Does India change their clocks?
Today, approximately 70 countries utilize Daylight Saving Time in at least a portion of the country. Japan, India , and China are the only major industrialized countries that do not observe some form of daylight saving. They all save one hour in the summer and change their clocks some time between midnight and 3:00 a.m.
How far ahead is India time?
In general, without taking into account Daylight Saving Time, the time in India is 12.5 hours ahead of the west coast of the USA (Los Angeles, San Fransisco , San Diego), 9.5 hours ahead of the east coast of the USA (New York, Florida), 5.5 hours ahead of the UK, and 4.5 hours behind Australia (Melbourne, Sydney,

Why is Indian time half an hour?
When the meridians for the Indian subcontinent were created, New Delhi was in between the two. Naturally, India decided to be 30 minutes between the two time zones, which is why the country is only 30 minutes ahead of nearby Pakistan, for example.
What is the IST right now?
Indian Standard time ( IST ) is the time zone observed throughout India, with a time offset of UTC+05:30.

How many time zones are in India?
The Republic of India uses only one time zone across the whole nation and all its territories, called Indian Standard Time ( IST ), which equates to UTC+05:30, i.e. five and a half hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). India presently does not observe daylight saving time (DST or summer time).
Why is India's time 30 minutes off?
For example, in New Delhi, India , they found themselves halfway between two meridians, and therefore decided to be 30 minutes between each, as opposed to adopting one time or the other. All of China, which spans an impressive five time zones, has the same time , which is UTC +8 hours.
Which country is 1 hour ahead of India?
Answer: Myanmar is the country that is one hour ahead of Indian standard time.
Which countries do not change time?
Today, 70 countries change their clocks midyear for Daylight Saving Time, including most of North America, Europe and parts of South America and New Zealand. China , Japan, India and most countries near the equator don't fall back or jump ahead.

Russia is the country to have most consecutive number of time zones . Russian time zones are UTC-2, UTC-3, UTC-4, UTC-5, UTC-6, UTC-7, UTC-8, UTC-9, UTC-10, UTC-11 and UTC-12.
How many hours back is America?
What are the time differences between the UK and USA? The United States is split into six standard time zones – Hawaii, Alaska, Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern. The UK is five hours ahead of New York, six hours ahead of Chicago, seven hours ahead of Denver, and eight hours ahead of California.
How many hours is India from USA?
This will be between 7AM – 11PM their time, since United States is 12 hours and 30 minutes behind India. If you're available any time, but you want to reach someone in United States at work, you may want to try between 9:30 PM and 5:30 AM your time.
Why is Kathmandu 15 minutes off?
Remember, Nepal has only 8 degrees of longitude end-to-end giving it only about 32 minutes across for meridian markers. So, Nepal chose the next best thing, going halfway to the next meridian gaining 15 minutes over India's current meridian. Thus Nepal sits at GMT+05:45.
Why is Nepal 45 minutes off?
Nepal is 5 hours and 45 minutes ahead of GMT, because it sets the meridian of Nepal Standard Time at Gaurishankar, a mountain east of Kathmandu. It gets trickier in the North and South Poles, where all the longitude lines converge and thus the poles don't officially have time zones.

Denver & Rio Grande Western F7 #5771 at Colorodo Railway Museum. Photo: Dennis Turner. September 22, 2009.
Over the last 30 years I have been collecting N Scale models to run on my Denver's RailRoads layout. Due to time restraints I have "collected" more models than I can "run" and now that the layout looks like one day it will actually be completed, I have found that many of the over 2000 models collected do not fit into the 1950's and 1960's "Denver" theme of the Railroad.
I have therefore decided to offer these models for sale. Most of them are Micro-Trains models that are now no longer available from hobby shops, There are also a number of Atlas and Athearn models that are no longer available. In addition I have a collection of models put out by N Scale Enthusiast (previously N Scale Collector) either as a special run or as a "gift" car for membership or attendance to one of their conventions. These models are very rare and often highly sort after by collectors.
New/Mint/Exceptional Quality: Almost all of these models are brand new, complete with all the correct packaging, without evidence of being altered, and no evidence of item wear from running on any layout. In a few cases there may be slight shelf wear or small pressure cracking of box or lid may be evident.
Very Good to Excellent Quality: A small number of models may demonstrate slight evidence of age including discoloration of Price Sticker, Insert Labels and slight yellowing of box and lid, as well as minor cracks found in the box and lid. In all cases the condition of box and model are noted together with a photograph of each. The price will also be adjusted to take into consideration the condition of the box.
Also on offer are a small number of brand new miscellaneous items, such as track and point motors, which are surplus to my requirements and a few second hand models. These are all priced accordingly.
All prices are in Australian dollars and are mostly based on the landed cost of the item when imported from the United States of America or in the case of track & accessories, the United Kingdom. I am not trying to make a profit, only to recover my costs. North American customers should note that the price in US dollars will be considerably cheaper than the AUS dollar price. Often by as much as 30% due to the appreciating US dollar. Our shipping costs are also very low, in fact generally below cost, at a flat rate of $12 per order within Australia or $25 per order if shipped to North America, Europe, Asia or New Zealand. No hidden surprises there!
What is an N Scale Collectible?
People collect a lot of things. From all things ever released in N Scale to every car and loco ever released in Union Pacific, to every Micro Trains car ever released, to all things intermodal, to only 40 foot boxcars, to only cars released for the Lackawanna Railroad.
Part of the historical mandate for The N Scale Enthusiast (NSE) was the commemoration and recording of the values of the collections that many of their members have. NSE started with Micro Trains Line cars and Con Cor Collector sets, but in the last few years it has expanded to cover Kato and Atlas locomotives, and rolling stock from many manufacturers. In order to do this, NSE had to define what standard makes a car collectible.
There is no way to positively determine whether or not the box, the label, or the cradle is exactly the one that shipped with that very car. Since NSE cannot prove that a car is un-opened, or as it was when it was sold, they don't try to guarantee it. If the car appears original then they call it Collector Quality.
A small group of five N Scale modellers meet on a Saturday afternoon, once a month, in each others layout rooms or garages to swap railway stories, watch railway videos, help build each others layouts and to provide encouragement. In time we expect to hold regular operating sessions on my Argentine Central Railway (which is still under construction as you can see from the photograph on the right) and one day on the larger Denver's RailRoads.
The group is not a club and does not have a president or a committee. It is just a group of like minded N scalers. If you live in Townsville, or are passing through and would like to join us for an afternoon, or more, please call Dennis on 0418 211 108.

This week's extremely short Council Watch is brought to you by Interrupt-Her! Are you running a City Council meeting and a sweet old lady keeps talking during Citizens Input Time? Or perhaps you are zooming in and-
"So moved!"
The Interrupt-Her has state-of-the-art Interrupt-Her, from the makers of Parent Noise Canceling Headphones.*
*Rated Best Product in 2021 by National School Board Association.
Here are the Highlights for the January 5th Regular Meeting:
Not much, as this was another short meeting.
The Community Development Block Grant Board Has a three new members, finally obtaining a full board.
Dr. Maya Robert gave the City Council an update on the bubble Curtain.
At the request of the City Manager, City Council has repealed a perpetual conservation easement with the South Florida Water Management District, so that way he can negotiate a new easement deal.
Citizens Input Time
Joseph Tranquita, representing the Egret Condominium, urged the Council to rezone their condos from commercial to residential. This has created an issue with banks and insurance agencies who see the residential owners as commercial/business owners. Waste Pro has also designated their building as commercial which has led to delays that would not happen if they were zoned as residential.
Vincent Lehman spoke of a reverse concern. His property was purchased as residential but has since been incorporated into the Pine Island Corridor, rezoning it commercial. He does not want his property rezoned back to residential, as he keeps construction vehicles on his property and wants to turn his property into a meeting hall.
Germaine Silyason (sic) is concerned about a problematic house in her neighborhood, 3808 SE 2nd Place, which is infested with mold, rats, and armadillos, and wanted to report it to the City.
Francie Metzker came to the City Council because she is the Lorax and speaks for the trees.
"I've witnessed some of our trees being cut down, perfectly good trees," said Francie. "They cut two trees when they said they were doing the sidewalks. I understand the sidewalks sometimes buckle, but those trees were not buckling the sidewalks that much."
Sidewalk buckles are cracks or damages in the concrete, usually caused by long-term heat exposure, but which can also be caused by tree roots running underneath the pavement. To resolve this, city workers remove trees that could cause this buckling.
Francie is not a tree hugger, she says, but she wants to keep good trees and offered to pay for replacing the two removed trees.
After speaking on trees, Francie inquired if she had more time (she did), before proceeding to mention how difficult it is to get out of the Kohl's parking lot, which she described as "literally treacherous." She recommends a traffic light at the intersection. Eventually, the buzzer went off, and sweet Francie ended with "I'll come back another time."
District 2 Councilman Dan Sheppard thanked all the citizens who came out to speak, but especially thanked Francie for her desire to "be a good citizen and beautify the city."
Community Development Block Grant Board Has Full Slate
The Community Development Block Grant Board now has a full slate of five, meaning the board will meet in March.
The Citizens Advisory Board, which advises City Council on funding for affordable housing and social services, was unable to meet last year due to lack of membership. Their duties were carried out by city staff, who thankfully kept the Board Chairman (yours truly) in the loop.
Environmental Updates
Dr. Maya Robert gave an all-clear for the Caloosahatchee River and informed the Council that the Mandarin Canal bubble curtain has been operational for a few months. Three more curtains have been purchased and are just awaiting permits from the Federal Government, which, according to Dr. Robert, have been approved, but need to be processed. So we should have those by Christmas.
The City Council also repealed a perpetual conservation easement for the South Florida Water Management District. This was brought forward by City Manager Rob Hernandez, who is negotiating a new easement agreement with the regional environmental agency. It is unclear what this deal will be or if our environment and water quality will be helped or harmed.
Comprehensive Rezoning
The City Council approved a comprehensive rezoning plan, but it was not without opposition.
The rezoning involved 14 blocks of property, mostly rezoned from commercial back to residential based on market trends.
"The market is the market is the market," said former Mayor and current Sorcerer Supreme Joe Mazkurkiewicz, who spoke in favor of the ordinance. "The use is going to be determined by the market."
Maz the Mysterious was there representing Newcomb Property Services, who own a block of property on the corner of Chiquita and Savona. Mayor Mazurkiewicz explained that the property was split off from what is now the Aspire Apartments, and was zoned with it, meaning the property is multi-family residential.
Newcomb Property Services sees commercial viability with that corner, and their rezoning request has been added to the broader rezoning ordinance
But Ken McLindon (sic), who lives behind the property, wants to know if the rezoning behind his property will lead to more traffic. The question was rhetorical because the answer was yes.
Ken's surroundings had been rezoned from single-family to multi-family to mixed-used, with a condo on one side and commercial properties on the other. Ken was not happy with Maz's magic act.
"He says it's a high-end marketable piece of property, although there's residential built right up to the edge of it. Right around the corner, there's a 7-11 store and a Dollar General. We also have a storage unit, so if that's the high-end commercial property is going to be used for, great," said Ken sarcastically.
"I don't get it. Again, my property changed from single-family, on that canal that they want to look down, to commercial property," Ken continued. "They changed mine from single-family…to multi-family. Now we got a corner up here that they want to change back because there was some kind of an issue or a problem, there was a misunderstanding, my client — whatever, I got it — want to change it to what it currently is to commercial. So you change mine. You help them, everybody goes away fine, and we're still left holding the bag."
District 5 Councilman Bobby Welsh looked up Ken's property and found that it was not going to be rezoned. However, that does not address his other concerns about traffic and the change in where he lives.

You have to be at least 13 years old to have an account on Instagram, but this didn't stop one 10-year-old Finnish boy from exposing a vulnerability in the Facebook-owned photo-sharing application and winning $10,000 for his work.
Helsinki-based Jani (his parents didn't reveal his last name) discovered that he could erase any written content on Instagram by altering code on its servers. Facebook told Forbes that he verified this by deleting a comment the company posted on a test account.
The Facebook spokesperson added that the problem came from a private application program interface not properly checking that the person deleting the comment was the same one who posted it.
Facebook's bug bounty program rewards people who identify and report security issues. In the five years since it launched, it has paid $4.3 million to more than 800 researchers for over 2400 submissions. Instagram was added to the program in 2014.
Payouts vary based on the level of risk a bug poses. Considering the average reward last year was only $1780, Jani's $10,000 shows that Facebook regarded it as a fairly high-level threat.
Jani, who learned his skills by watching YouTube instructional videos, is now the youngest person to receive a reward from the program, beating the record set by a 13-year-old back in 2013. He said he plans to buy a football and new bicycle with some of the money.

The burden of black excellence

While black excellence may serve its purpose in the grand scheme of things, it can be a double-edged sword for some and a barrier for others.
The simultaneous publication of the annual Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 list as well as the Mail Guardian Young 200 list has once again put the burdensome concept of black excellence in the spotlight.
However, one particular aspect of this concept has been haunting my thoughts for close to a week and that is the fact that the undue emphasis placed on black excellence has left many a young black person feel as though they cannot aspire to an average life.
The origins of black excellence are rooted in a desire to subvert white supremacist and racist ideology by disproving the factually incorrect and unscientific beliefs that were used as a justification for the subjugation of black people.
It has also since evolved into the desire to prove the worth of black people to white people by being better at everything; sports, academia, performance art, beauty, and so forth.
Almost as if to say: I am the number one tennis player in the world so your racist beliefs about the limitations of my race are wrong.
We also live in the age of the hyper-visibility of black firsts, but this is only because as a people, we were systematically prevented from participation in many areas on a global scale.
And even when laws and declarations were appealed, the effects of institutionalised racism remained so pervasive that events such as the Oscars would see nothing wrong with having little to no black candidates in a category – and not for a lack of trying on the part of black people in the entertainment industry.
The systematic exclusion of black people coupled with the hyper-visibility of our recent wins allows those who cannot make it to the upper echelons of success to live vicariously through those who do.
These things give the global community of black people a front row seat to the wins. The positive imagery.
White people, whether they are racist or not, often lament the use of the prefix "black".
They question why everything has to be black? Black Twitter, black beauty, black excellence, black fashion…
A simple answer to this question would be that when the prefix is absent, the subject is unconsciously assumed to be white. A side effect of the widely hated concept of "white privilege."
To prove this, simply Google anything and see how many black faces pop up. Woman on phone, man smiling, friends laughing, family.
To some, these search results match the imagery they imagine for these very concepts.
That assumption, coupled with white privilege, also affords white people the opportunity to be average and in most cases, mediocre, without that affecting their lives in a majorly negative way.
Still not sure what I mean?
Let's use John Steenhuisen as an example.
In recent years, his lack of a matric certificate has been the subject of many a debate, with the resounding call being to just look at how far he has come and how much he knows as a sign that a qualification is not the biggest barrier to entry.
By that same token, the lack of formal education or their performance while in high school has been used to discredit Jacob Zuma and Julius Malema respectively.
Steenhuisen is given the benefit of the doubt because he has proven that he is capable of filling his position without the backing of the national quality assurance council in general and further education and training.
Zuma and Malema on the other hand, despite their positions in government, are still perceived to be blithering idiots and their successes are explained away and diminished using things such as luck and corruption.
The only black people who are marginally safe from this treatment are the black people who play by the rules and work themselves half to death just to rack up a set of acceptable entries on their biography that will not subject them to scrutiny.
Additionally, the fact that most spaces in which one can be an excellent black were previously "white only" spaces affords one a little slack because it is assumed that you have to be a hard worker, a good person and an acceptable black to have earned your way in.
It is assumed that you cannot do all these things if you were not. And because this assumption reigns, the black person who just wants to live an average life has no business aspiring to the perks enjoyed by the black excellence elite.
The average black girl from the township (let's call her Lesedi for the purpose of this conversation) cannot be fine with getting a decently paying job and getting her own home down the road from the home she grew up in.
Wanting to continue her life in the township will not be widely viewed as wanting to improve the circumstances of the place she comes from – Lesedi will be perceived as someone with no ambition, and not just by people from a particular ethnic background either.
The girl who will be called ambitious is the girl from next door (let's call her Amanda). But only if Amanda, with her English name that lends itself to assimilation, works hard enough to make it into a tertiary institution where she studies towards a degree. She then has to use that degree to get a prestigious job in the city which will pay for her fancy car and home in a suburb nearby. Along the way, all the work she has put into getting where she is gets her a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
It will be upon visits back home that she is bestowed her new title as the ambitious girl because she was able to move away and the people she grew up around barely see her. All they do is hear about her exploits and successes in the big city where she lives among white people and counts them as friends. In her office, she is the palatable black girl because she does not present in the stereotypical way most black girls from the township are imagined.
What they all do not hear about or consider is all the work she has to put into maintaining her new position and how this stresses her out and has exacerbated her depression.
What they will not care about either is how content Lesedi is in her decision to stay close to home and contribute to the change she wants to see in the area.
While black excellence may serve its purpose in the grand scheme of things, it should be noted that it can be a double-edged sword for some and a barrier for others and that not every black person has to aspire to the ever-changing bar set by black excellence.

Hardness of Approximation: From the PCP Theorem to the 2-to-2 Games Theorem
Subhash Khot, Ph.D.New York University
About Mathematics and Physical Sciences
Mathematics and Physical Sciences lectures are open to the public and are held at the Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium at the Simons Foundation headquarters in New York City. Tea is served prior to each lecture.
Researchers firmly believe that no algorithm can efficiently compute optimal solutions to computationally complex problems called NP-hard problems. For many NP-hard problems, even computing an approximately-optimal solution is NP-hard. This phenomenon, known as the hardness of approximation, has numerous connections to proof checking, optimization, combinatorics, discrete Fourier analysis, and geometry.
In this lecture, Subhash Khot will provide an overview of those connections. He will address why graph coloring is a computationally hard problem, how it is possible to check a proof without even looking at it, why computational scientists love the majority vote, and whether a shape exists that looks spherical as well as cubical. He will explain how all this fits into a 30-year research program starting with the foundational probabilistically checkable proofs (PCP) theorem and leading to the recent 2-to-2 games theorem.
Khot is a professor of computer science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. His prior appointments include Georgia Tech and the University of Chicago. He holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University. Khot's research centers on computational complexity and its connections to geometry and analysis. He is a recipient of the National Science Foundation's Alan T. Waterman Award, the International Mathematical Union's Nevanlinna Prize, the Simons Investigator Award, a MacArthur Fellowship, and is a fellow of the Royal Society.

This lunar year will be the Year of the Rabbit or the Year of the Cat
Sun, 01/22/2023 - 8:06am
depending on where you live …
Megan Bryson, for The Conversation
reprinted under a Creative Commons license
Knoxville, TENNESSEE — Today, Jan. 22, 2023, more than a billion people globally welcomed the Year of the Rabbit – or the Year of Cat, depending on which cultural traditions they follow – as the start of the Lunar New Year. In the New York City public school district, Lunar New Year has been observed as a school holiday since 2015.
The Lunar New Year is sometimes called the Chinese New Year, because it follows a calendar that was developed in China; but it is also celebrated in various parts of Asia, such as Korea and Vietnam. Tibetan and Mongolian cultures follow a similar calendar that will start the Year of the Rabbit about a month later, on Feb. 20.
While this calendar is sometimes just called "lunar," it adds an extra month every few years to stay in sync with the solar cycle, so it's technically lunar and solar, or lunisolar. This means that the date of the Lunar New Year in the Gregorian calendar changes from year to year but always falls in January or February. The Gregorian calendar is the solar calendar used today in most parts of the world, including the United States.
As a scholar of East Asian religions, I am familiar with the wide range of lunar and lunisolar calendars used in different religions and cultures, and especially with the religious significance of the East Asian lunisolar calendar.
The lunisolar calendar that developed in China combines two categories: 12 earthly branches, each of which corresponds to an animal, and 10 heavenly stems, each of which corresponds to one of the five elements – fire, water, wood, metal and earth – and either the feminine yin or masculine yang force.
While this lunisolar calendar brings people together, different countries and cultures have their own legends and customs surrounding the New Year. Even the animal associated with the year can vary.
YEAR OF THE RABBIT OR YEAR OF THE CAT?
In most parts of East Asia, the new year that begins on Jan. 22 corresponds to the rabbit, and also to the element of water and the feminine yin force. The cycle takes 60 years to complete, so 60th birthdays across East Asia are times for special celebrations.
However, the animal associations of the zodiac can vary: In Vietnam, Jan. 22 will usher in the Year of the Cat instead. The most recent Year of the Cat, in 2011, saw a baby boom in Vietnam because of the good luck associated with that zodiac sign.
One explanation among scholars for why Vietnamese culture celebrates it as the Year of the Cat is that the earthly branch corresponding to "rabbit" is pronounced mao in Mandarin and meo in Vietnamese, which sounds similar to the Vietnamese word for "cat."
Another explanation comes from two variations of a popular legend about how the 12 zodiac animals were chosen. According to that legend, either the Buddha or the Jade Emperor, head of the Chinese pantheon, organized a race across a river to choose the zodiac animals and their order.
In the Chinese version, the cat and rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat, in its drive to be first, pushed the cat into the water so that the cat arrived last and was disqualified. The rabbit was crossing the river by hopping on stones sticking out of the water, but with one lucky leap it landed on a floating log that swiftly carried it to shore, so that the rabbit finished fourth. However, in the Vietnamese version – which lacks a rabbit – the cat could swim and ended up arriving fourth.
RABBITS IN CHINESE CULTURE
In the Chinese tradition, people born in particular zodiac years have some of their animal's characteristics. Since the late 20th century, Chinese regions have seen birth rates spike during Years of the Dragon because dragons are powerful symbols of good fortune and success.
Some animals carry strongly gendered meanings: the Year of the Tiger is widely seen as a good year for male births, but female tigers are stereotyped as overly aggressive. In Korea, the Year of the Horse is similarly perceived as a bad time for girls to be born.
Conversely, the Year of the Rabbit is seen as a better year for girls because the rabbit's qualities of kindness, empathy and patience are stereotypically feminine virtues. Moreover, rabbits have been associated with male homosexuality since the 18th century, and the word "rabbit," tuzi in Mandarin, is a slur for male sex workers. The stigma surrounding homosexuality in Chinese cultures means that, for some people, having a boy in the Year of the Rabbit would be less ideal. However, some members of Chinese LGBTQ+ communities are rejecting this stigma by reclaiming the Rabbit God as a patron deity.
The Rabbit God is not always understood as a god of male same-sex love. He can also be a symbol of longevity. Chinese lore holds that a rabbit and toad on the Moon work with the moon goddess Chang'e to refine the elixir of immortality.
The Year of the Rabbit will feature rabbit decorations, rabbit-themed marketing, and an abundance of new pet rabbits. However, the celebration will remain the same as in other years.
Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations emphasize family togetherness as well as good luck and prosperity for the coming year. In China, the Lunar New Year marks the world's largest annual human migration, as people who work in big cities travel home to see their families for the two-week holiday.
The new year officially ushers in the spring, so it is also called Spring Festival, or Chunjie in Mandarin. To start the New Year on the right foot, people get haircuts, clean their houses and wear new clothes. These new clothes, like most New Year's decorations, are red, which symbolizes good fortune.
New Year's foods also aim to bring good fortune. Among the dishes commonly eaten at New Year's are fish, because in Mandarin "having fish," you yu, is a homophone for "having a surplus." Eating a dessert of glutinous rice balls in sweet soup, known as tangyuan, represents the family being complete, because the word for round, yuan, also means "complete."
Family is the focus of New Year celebrations, which traditionally take place in the home of the husband's family. Adults generally give gifts of money in red envelopes to younger relatives who are still in school. On the second or third day of the new year, families often travel to the wife's family home to see the in-laws.
The Lantern Festival, Yuanxiao jie, wraps up the festivities two weeks after the New Year begins with the first full moon of the year. As the name suggests, people celebrate with decorated lanterns, which often have riddles attached. In addition to guessing the answers to these riddles, people celebrate by eating tangyuan or similar round dumplings called yuanxiao, and watching dragon and lion dances.
The global Asian diaspora means that Lunar New Year is now celebrated around the world, including in the United States. Chinese American, Korean American, and Vietnamese American communities will mark the beginning of the Lunar New Year with a variety of celebrations, some welcoming the Year of the Rabbit and others welcoming the Year of the Cat.

APOLLO 11, the director Stanley Kubrick had falsified parts of the moon landing
December 7, 2021, By Cognitio | Leave a reply
APOLLO 11, the director Stanley Kubrick had falsified parts of the moon landing; Original article by Alessandro Brizzi.
After the publication of the radio interview emerged 15 years after the death of Stanley Kubrick, which we publish below, in which the same Kubrick admits that the NASA lunar landings were faked, here come out other testimonies, such as that of astronaut Alexey Leonov, the first man to walk in space.
Leonov said in a recent interview that some parts of the Apollo 11 space mission were faked, and that Stanley Kubrick was hired to film these parts, in a Hollywood studio.
As mentioned above, Soviet cosmonaut Leonov was interviewed by The Russian News & Information Agency and RIA Novosti, where he stated that the Apollo 11 mission was partially filmed in Hollywood and the U.S. flag was reinforced with steel mesh. Leonov, the Russian astronaut who was the first man to walk in space, tells us that Americans did on the Moon, but that Kubrick filmed parts of the Apollo missions' moon landings on Earth. This testimony is echoed by the statement made by the late Mr. Teague, a technician at the Apollo mission control center. During an interview with Infowars Nightly News in 2014, Teague stated that many of the photographs and film recorded during the Apollo 11 mission were probably fake. For years people have been investigating images, photographs on the Apollo mission to find all kinds of anomalies, in fact many experts say they are convinced that no one ever went to the moon.
Filmmaker T. Patrick Murray interviewed Kubrick three days before his death in March 1999. Murray was forced to sign an 88-page NDA (non-disclosure agreement) for the contents of the interview to be kept secret for 15 years.
Below is a transcript of the interview with Stanley Kubrick, in which the director of 2001 A Space Odyssey admits that "the lunar landings were almost or all faked and I was the person who recorded the footage." We have included a leaked preliminary edit of the interview below the transcript:
(K= Stanley Kubrick)
K: I am so concerned. With my work, innovation, risk-taking, regrets …
T: Why are you giving this interview?
K: Because, I feel like doing it after a while. Well, it's hard, because it's the first time I'm speaking on this subject. (sighs)
T: Sure, take your time.
K: I've always been conflicted about it, but not consciously until a few years later. I had been dragged along by the chance, the opportunity, the challenge of making this, this production, and I made it as if it were a regular film, like another film of mine, without thinking too much about the long-term effects of what it would mean to society if it were discovered.
T: What are you talking about? I'm dying to know what you're talking about.
K: Well, a confession. A film I made that no one knows about – even if they've seen it.
T: A movie you made, but nobody knows you made it? Is that what you said?
K: That's right. Is that pretty intriguing? Did I not intrigue you?
K: I perpetrated a huge fraud on the American public and now I'm going to expose it, it involves the U.S. government and NASA, that the moon landings were faked, that the moon landings were ALL faked and that I was the person who filmed them.
T: Okay. (laughs) What are you talking about … You're serious. T: Okay.
K: I am serious. Deadly serious.
K: Yes, they were fakes.
T: Okay. Wait. Wait.
T: I don't want this to be an R-rated movie, but seriously, but seriously …
T: I, I, I worked almost eight months of time to get the interview of a lifetime that almost no one else could ever get, and instead of talking about your sixteen movies that I've loved since I was a kid … That we didn't go to the moon, is that what you're saying?
K: No, we didn't go there.
K: We didn't.
T: The moon landing was false?
K: a, a, a … fantasy moon landing. A fantasy. T: It wasn't true.
K: Don't you think it's important for people to know the truth?
T: The '69 moon landing, which was two years before I was born …
K: It's total fiction.
T: Total fiction.
T: Is that then … So, this is the 15 year thing?. K: There, that all makes sense now. That's why I can't release it until 15 years from now, now it all makes sense.
T: We … we didn't land on the moon, are you saying?
K: No, we didn't.
T: Why are you telling me that?
K: a, a, a, a massive fraud. An unprecedented fraud perpetrated against them. They should know.
K: Nixon wants to uh, they were planning, yeah, he wants to fake this, this moon landing …
T: Are you arguing that people don't want to know the truth about the world, the reality, the moon landings …?
K: The government, knowing this, takes advantage of it to perpetrate fraud after fraud after fraud.
T: How did you end up giving in? Being complicit in this fraud?
K: I didn't want to do that.
T: I didn't think this was how this interview would go!
K: With my help, with my, and yes, yes it worries me.
T: I just have this certain amount of time with you. And I'll talk about whatever you want, but …
T: You're not … This is not some kind of joke, or …
K: No. No, it isn't.
T: Or a movie within a movie… something like that.
K: I'm not joking NO.
T: Okay.
K: The plotters were right, on this occasion.
T: I don't know what to ask you to begin with.
K: I thought it was wrong, I just … I didn't think I was perpetrating a fraud like that.
T: But you did.
K: And I also undermined my artistic integrity to do it.
T: Okay, but you ended up saying yes. How come?
K: Well, yes, but because basically I was corrupted. To put it bluntly, that was it. It was just a fucking bribe.
K: a, a, a massive fraud. An unprecedented fraud perpetrated against them. They should know! Don't you think it's important for people to know the truth?
T: Why did they have to do that? How come? What was the need to do such a thing? Why would the government ever want or need to do…
K: It's no secret that NASA has always wanted to fulfill this Kennedy prophecy.
T: Let's start at the beginning …
T: I have to be honest, that's where he (Kubrick) got me. I mean, when I actually put myself in his shoes, when I actually realized that he was telling the truth and I asked myself that if I had a one in a million chance to experience such an opportunity what would I do?
T: Yeah, he wanted to be approved and he thought nothing could do it better than that.
T: What a story. I mean, gosh, I can't imagine getting an opportunity like that. On the one hand, I'd really like to want to do it, but then I'd probably tell myself that I'm committing a crime, and that I'm lying …
T: It depends, but my conclusion would be … no, if you're good at it, maybe you should do it.
K: Spielberg, (unintelligible) Scorsese, even Woody Allen. There's not one of them who wouldn't have done this.
T: I have to admit: I would. I would do it, too.
T: But they gave all this power and all this adulation to you, basically?
K: Yeah, it came to me after a while. You have to listen to a lot of that stuff before you start believing it.
T: Did they tell you that you're the greatest and stuff?
K: Yes, yes – and I agreed with them.
K: Why are you telling the world that? Why does the world need to know that the moon landings are not real and they faked them?
K: What I consider to be my masterpiece.
T: And you can't take credit for it or even talk about it …
K: Well, I'm doing that now …
T: Right, so you'll be dead. In ten years, or fifteen …
K: Right, ten or 15 more or less.
T: So, you can't talk to Roger Ebert about that. Is that frustrating to you?
T: Why did they have to falsify it? Why would they have to do that?
K: Because it's impossible to get there.
T: Okay, back it up, back it up, back it up….

Please make a diary note that we anticipate the final delivery of dark compost will be made on 29th October.
We are never short of wooden pallets and right now we have a large number on site. We know that many plotholders find it difficult or are unable to take pallets apart. Today, as a service to plotholders we have taken apart a number of pallets; the timber boards are freely available and can be found next to the workshop at the Nursery Avenue entrance. A cautionary note. Please be very careful when moving the timber as many of the boards still have nails which you can easily remove with strong pliers or a claw hammer. And a plea.
Please take only what you need for immediate use.
More thefts of produce have been reported and we noticed an attempt at forced entry and damage to a door of one of the outbuildings close to the trading shed. If you see anything suspicious or have any information please let us know.
Has anyone noticed in the last few weeks that we have been visited by an insect species relatively new to Britain? Nezara viridula or Southern Green Shield Bug, its juvenile stage is very distinctive, dark green to black with four rows of white dots running down its back. In its adult form it looks very much like our native Green Shield Bug. Apparently it's relatively harmless and sustains itself by sucking sap and has been seen on various types of bean plants. It overwinters in dead vegetation, so the green waste skip and burning may be a useful way of containing it. More information is available on the RHS website.

Vestry & Church Leaders
St. Thomas, the only Episcopal Church in Johnson County, was founded as a mission church in 1958. The first services were held on the Franklin College Campus in Scott Hall.
By 1959, we had grown and began to rent worship space in the former Redman's Lodge in Franklin. As our numbers increased again, the congregation moved to our current location in 1969, when construction was finished on a handsome Indiana limestone building. In 1983 an addition including the current parish hall was completed.
In 1997 what began as St. Thomas, a mission congregation in the Diocese of Indianapolis, was officially recognized with parish status in the diocese. The recent addition of a Christian Education/Clinic wing has enabled St. Thomas to grow and expand our ministries and our outreach to the surrounding community, especially through our free medical clinic which serves residents of Johnson County.
St. Thomas is a parish in good standing in the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis and the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Pirates Top Brewers 3-2
MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Kris Benson pitched eight solid innings and Rob Mackowiak homered as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers for the 15th time this year, 3-2 Sunday.
Mackowiak had three hits, and Amaris Ramirez's sacrifice fly snapped a seventh-inning tie as the Pirates sent Milwaukee to its fifth consecutive loss overall.
Pittsburgh won the season series 15-4. The 15 losses to one team tied a Brewers record _ they also dropped 15 games to Baltimore and Oakland in 1973.

Q: Aws Lambda: Python function with Pandas dependency How to deploy to python function which has the dependency on external libraries?
For example, I am trying to deploy to a data-analysis python function. When I try to test the python function from the lambda console, I get:
Unable to import module 'lambda_function': No module named pandas

I am totally new to Aws Lambda

Is there a linux box on which Lambda functions run where I can install these libraries?

A: You need to create a deployment package as detailed here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-python-how-to-create-deployment-package.html#deployment-pkg-for-virtualenv
This just means bundling the contents of site-packages for the environment you're developing on into the deployment package together with the lambda python script into a zip that is uploaded.

A: If you new to Lambda deployment, you might want check this tutorial (I wrote), which covers the most common pitfalls. And gives you a script as well to automate the entire process.
