(IRVINE, Calif.) - I can't believe we're still talking about this, and that somehow, some way, the city of Irvine is still trying to place a kids park atop one of the deadliest and most contaminated military bases in the world.
In the past, El Toro was used to kill... I mean, facilitate aviation Marines, like myself and Roger Butow, featured in the interview below.
Several other members of the Salem-News.com staff like Robert O'Dowd of New Jersey, John Uldrich of Minnesota, and Chuck Palazzo of Da Nang, Vietnam, were either based at, or spent time aboard, Marine Corps Air Station El Toro.
We know a lot about this place. For three years our team has been researching, documenting and reporting the information about this sad, wasted military base.
There are many deadly contaminants in the ground and water here, and while they pull the vast amounts of TCE (trichloroethylene) out of the base aquifers, and pass it out into the ocean at South Laguna Beach untreated and deadly, Roger Butow, who has been deeply involved in water issues through his group CleanWaterNow! describes the conditions at our old base as "Toxic Soup de jour".
We make light of it, but our friends have died and we only grow more irritated with the radical mishandling of the base by Irvine, bent on money only as always, with no concern for the people who may use this place in the future and actually let their kids play here.
The ground is so contaminated at El Toro, that in the summertime, the asphalt will adhere to you car tires, and make you think you have a nail in your tire.
It just melts to the rubber, because TCE is a chemical degreaser, and it works really astoundingly well, that is why the Marines used it to clean jet fighters for so many years.
Those toxic chemicals worked so well that if you dump this crap into the ground for 50 years or so, it melts its way right into the roadway.
"Come on Junior, let's go play on the TCE swing, then you can drink from the fountain, maybe ingest a little Benzene? How about the enriched Uranium slide, that should be great! Son, why are you glowing?"
What is happening at El Toro is a nightmare, it is a travesty, and I'm sure if you really examined it, it is also criminal.
There are some other big developments regarding a Grand Jury report on the Great Park.
I suggest checking this story after you watch our video: Grand jury took global view of Great Park By SEAN EMERY - THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

I had been to El Toro myself for several air shows (twice with kids in tow no less!). It seems it would have been prudent to have a chemical dosimeter similar to those used to gauge radiation exposure. At a factory I worked at as a teen, a foreman supervised the dumping of several barrels (55 gal) of the solvent MEK down a small sinkhole. And the factory was adjacent to a public reservoir! Wells all along the San Gabriel River are contaminated from high levels of toxins, particularly MEK. Having recently seen the compelling Canadian documentary "Waterlife" about the health of the Great Lakes, it is frightening how completely our heads are buried in the sand in regards to toxins we pretend just disappear.
Van June 10, 2010 8:04 am (Pacific time)
Same thing is happening at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and I would guess it's happening all over the US and anywhere we have these bases. The coverup has gone on for more than 35 years. I would venture to guess the US taxpayer is on the hook for cleaning up the environment to the tune of a hundred billion dollars, probably much more. The way things were done before EPA and many years after was different than today. But the DoD still uses soverign immunity and they cover these things up. We don't have the money to clean this up now and the problem will only grow. The airstations are the worst by virtue of how they did things. TCE and many other toxics were used and there weren't any real disposal techniques other than to dump or burn. That is how it was done and probably still goes on where there is no one to observe. Just think what it would be like if there was no EPA. Like I've always said we have the most corrupt government money can buy.
Jim Davis, Veterans-For-Change June 9, 2010 11:41 am (Pacific time)
Tim, John, Roger, Bob… You all do a fantastic job keeping this in the daylight! But still, it just amazes me that our military not only deliberately poisoned all who served and worked on this base and 130+ other bases with these chemicals, known carcinogens but sold off the land to civilian contractors, cities knowing it was badly contaminated and did nothing prior to sale to solve the problems. But then for the individual contractors, and cities to perpetuate a fraud against their own communities by saying the land is safe, spending taxpayer money to develop… yes it is criminal. It's murder in the first degree, no other way to put it. They are deliberately and intentionally contaminating hundreds and thousands of people without any warning of the possible dangers, to me that is and always will be MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE… and God help any of these people should this ever come to court and I'm selected as a juror, that's precisely how I would vote!

It's almost impossible to talk about Christmas pop-up events in central London without mentioning the most popular one of all, Winter Wonderland. This sprawling festive attraction draws millions of international visitors each year. It hosts a range of pop-up bars, pop-up shops and quirky theme-park rides. Winter Wonderland also offers ice sculpting workshops, circus shows and comedy performances. For visitors with a yen for Germanic culture, the Bavarian Village boasts a selection of steins and mulled wines.
London's Christmas ice skating rings are among the best pop-up events in central London. There are a number of ice rinks available around London. The most popular ones can be found at the Natural History Museum, Somerset House and Canary Wharf. These central London pop-up events are open late into the evening, so you can skate under the stars!
Is there anything more festive than tucking into a Christmas meal in an igloo? A pop-up event found all across London last year, no one has quite mastered the art of the igloo quite like Coppa Club. Situated right next to the Tower of London, this lively restaurant is bringing back their famed igloos this year.
While pop-up events in central of London play host to a number of international visitors, pop-up events in south London entice a more varied clientele. Winterville is a pop-up event that has become one of Winter Wonderland's biggest competitors. In addition to pop-up bars and pop-up shops, Winterville also hosts everything from theatre events to insightful talks. Based in Clapham Common, Winterville has something for everyone!
The Southbank Centre Winter Market is one of the most picturesque pop-up events in south London. Inundated with festive fragrances and bright lights, this market looks out upon the dark waters of the Thames. This iconic market lasts for six weeks over the festive period and offers a huge range of pop-up shops. From bratwursts to waffles, there's nowhere better in London to get stuck into some Christmas goodies. Come for the atmosphere, stay for the mulled wine!
From magical lantern festivals to bustling rooftop bars, there are plenty of pop-up events in west London this year.
Pergola Paddington is open all year round, but it is famed for providing what it calls "a wintery haven – a secret hideaway in the heart of west London's busiest business district." Pergola is a pop-up bar and street food extravaganza that looks out over Paddington station. Perfect for festive drinks and Christmas get-togethers, Pergola is one of the best pop-up events in west London.
The Enchanted Woodland returns this year to illuminate the grounds of Syon Park. This west London pop-up event is a luminescent celebration for all the ages. Perfect for families with young children, this event has a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere.
Another popular pop-up event in West London is the Magical Lantern Festival at Chiswick House and Gardens. Set against the regal backdrop of Lord Burlington's neo-Palladian villa, this five-week long festival is a spectacular blend of art and culture. There are a number of on-site pop-up bars and pop-up shops and there's even a Santa's Grotto for the kids!
Fulham's ultimate pop-up event, Winterland London is rolling back the years this time around. This pop-up bar is going with a loud retro skiing theme this year and all are encouraged to don their most conspicuous clothing!

Q: MySQL Left Join is reduing the number of rows being selected Using MySQL 5.7 I am trying to pull a complete list of stores and dates, then join that list to another table that holds what items were sold on a particular day, with one row per item. My query is like so:
SELECT
COUNT(DISTINCT store_number)
FROM (select date from date_table where date between '2022-01-01' and '2022-12-31') as dates
CROSS JOIN (select store_number from store_number group by store_number) as stores
LEFT JOIN item_table as items
    ON stores.store_number = items.store_number
    AND dates.date = items.date
    AND items.item_number IN (1, 2, 3)

When I run COUNT(DISTINCT store_number) using just the dates and stores subquery I get 264 rows returned, one row for each store. This number is correct. When I run the above code including the LEFT JOIN to the item_table I only get 262, which leads me to believe that two stores did not sell those item_number values in the given date range. When I run the above code but I comment out the item_number IN (1, 2, 3) JOIN criteria I get 263 rows, which leads me to believe that one store did not sell any item_numbers in a given date range.
What I want is for each store and each date to be included no matter what, but just pull NULL column values wherever they do not have the appropriate data.
Originally I had the item_number filter in the WHERE clause, but that was having the same effect of reducing the stores returned. I then moved the filter to the LEFT JOIN clause expecting that to resolve the issue but it did not.

A: The issue is that store_number is a column in multiple tables and your COUNT(DISTINCT store_number) doesn't specify which one to use. Based on your debugging, it looks like items.store_number is being used instead of stores.store_number.
To fix this, modify your COUNT DISTINCT query to ensure the store_number from the stores table is used:
COUNT(DISTINCT stores.store_number)

As the NBA season is fast approaching, the sports books on various casinos and online gambling sites across the web will stand in wild anticipation and the NBA Vegas odds would become a much more serious matter. To some, betting for sports is just a hobby but to others, it is their livelihood.
Betting online is done through Sportsbooks (US) or Bookmakers (UK), entities that legally accept bets. These businesses accept bets on almost every sporting even there is too. From baseball, basketball and football to hockey, tennis and soccer games, most UFABET entities offer bets covering a multitude of sports.
Sports betting isn't something that you can jump right into. There are so many factors to consider before placing your bets. Do you really have time to study facts and figures? Spending a great deal of time calculating odds can help you increase your winnings, but it could just lead you to feeling fed up and frustrated.
This a multiple bet. A kind of 'let-it-ride' bet. Making simultaneous selections on two or more games with the intent of pressing the winnings of the first win on the bet of the following game selected, and so on. All the selections made must win for you to win the parlay. If a game is a tie, postponed or cancelled, your parlay is automatically reduced by one selection; a double parlay becomes a straight bet, a triple parlay becomes a double. A parlay bet can yield huge dividends if won.


Despite its reputation for being a difficult game crop to establish and manage, with the right outlook, team and expert advice, kale can have huge sporting benefits, says Charlie Mellor.
Loyton Sporting manages a group of five prestigious pheasant and partridge shoots on Exmoor. It covers approximately 18,000 acres across Devon and Somerset and is run by Angus Barnes with support from estates manager Pete Day. In 2009, after some difficulties with existing crops, Angus contacted Kings Game Cover and Conservation Crops for advice and hasn't looked back since.
Advised by Kings' manager Richard Barnes, the shoots of Combe Sydenham, Haddeo and Stuckeridge were put into a system of cereals, maize, kale and perennials, while the higher, more exposed shoots of Challacombe and Edgcott incorporate crops that perform well in challenging conditions – namely, brassica and cereal mixtures and perennials. There is also additional benefit to some landowners that their stock can graze off the plots in February when the shooting season ends.
"We made the decision to grow kale as its winter hardiness and ability to deliver right to the end of the shooting season make it ideal for the mild, damp conditions of Exmoor," Pete Day explains.
A blend of three key kale varieties is grown across the shoots: Coleor, Goldeneye and 1,000 Head kale. This gives a varied canopy of different heights and growth habits through the winter which makes the crops more attractive to game. Other seed bearing crops may be added too, such as gold of pleasure and linseed, which break up the canopy and increase the attraction to both gamebirds and farmland birds.
With over 500 acres of game cover across the five estates, management is vital. Drilling of kale tends to take place in June to ensure that seed beds are warm and the crop hits the ground running. Weed control opportunities are limited, so an agronomy plan is agreed in advance. Seed is Seed-Life™ and is treated for flea beetle for good establishment. Pre emergent applications of key herbicides help to ensure it gets off to the best possible start, giving control of broad-leaved weeds such as fat hen and redshank. Granular lime and fertiliser are applied to the seedbed and, once established, two foliar feeds, along with a fungicide in the final application, are applied to encourage growth. Daily checks are essential to identify weed challenges or any sign of likely attack from slugs, flea beetle – possibly the biggest threat – or pigeons, and advice is always on hand if anything out of the ordinary is spotted.
Though kale can be costly to establish, the commitment is justifiable when offset by the need to deliver a grazing crop for tenants, or where the crop is to be carried through for two years or helps meet stewardship requirements. Taking into account perennial crops and kale retention for a second year, only around half of the acreage is renewed each year, which keeps a handle on costs, spreads the workload and reduces risk in a difficult season, as was the case in the very wet 2012.

A unique artificial intelligence and data management tool, enabling operators to target market pro-actively, lowering costs whilst dramatically increasing player retention.
There are three huge problems in the gambling industry. These have been issues in the industry for many, many years and there is yet to be a solution, until now! Here we highlight the problems within the industry.
As it stands there is no possible way to track and monitor problem gamblers who have accounts across multiple casinos and sportsbooks, allowing them to run up huge debts. This risk is heightened by constant misplaced marketing which increases the habit of a vulnerable customer.
It is well documented that the majority of the public do not trust casinos or bookmakers. Perception and the lack of awareness to education surrounding gambling leads consumers to believe possible manipulated returns in favour of the house.
Operators find it very difficult to retain existing customers. This is influenced by the attraction from their competitors and lack of profile management. The average attrition for players is less than 25 days before they become inactive.

Q: Oracle reproducing timeouts IDLE_TIME/CONNECT_TIME I need some help with oracle settings to reproduce some issues we're having and to clarify, I'm not a oracle expert at all - no experience with it.
I've managed to installed oracle-xe(because it's easiest & smallest) and got our software running on it.
Now, reports say, that the connection in some some production setups time out(long running scripts/programs) and are not reconnected (not even throwing exceptions).
So that's what I'm trying to reproduce.
After some browsing around on the internet I found that running these queries should limit my connection & idle time to 1 minute:
ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT IDLE_TIME 1;
ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT CONNECT_TIME 1;
ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_LIMIT = TRUE;

Results in:
    SQL> select * from user_resource_limits where resource_name in ('IDLE_TIME','CONNECT_TIME');
RESOURCE_NAME                    LIMIT
-------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
IDLE_TIME                        1
CONNECT_TIME                     1

After that I made a simple php script 'test.php', it runs a query - sleeps, and runs a new query.
require_once('our software');
$account1 = findAccount('email1@example.com');
sleep(100);
$account2 = findAccount('email2@example.com');

Isn't this supposed to time out?
Some extra details about what software I'm running:

*Oracle XE

*php 5.3.5

People Died, Hillary Lied — but not to Chelsea
by Jennifer C. Braceras
NewBostonPost, October 24, 2015
So what did we learn Thursday from the House Benghazi Committee's 11-hour question-and-answer session with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?
Did the Committee unearth any significant information about what actually happened in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, when terrorists killed four Americans (including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and Winchester native Glen Doherty)?
It certainly did.
Congressional investigators have for years asked Clinton when she first learned that the attack on our Benghazi consulate was the work of terrorists. At Thursday's hearing, we learned that she knew this almost immediately.
In fact, we learned that, within hours of the attack, Clinton used her private server to email her daughter Chelsea — who did not work for the government and does not have a top secret security clearance — to tell her that the attack on American personnel was pre-planned and carried out by Al Qaeda.
Because it contradicts what Clinton told the American people and State Department employees both before and after she contacted her daughter: that the incident was the spontaneous response of Islamic youth to "inflammatory material posted on the internet."
This was, of course, a boldfaced lie. The attack, which occurred on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, was not (as Clinton suggested) committed by an angry mob that had gathered to protest a random YouTube video. In fact, there was no angry mob.
And Clinton knew it. That's why in a Sept. 12 conversation with the Egyptian Prime Minister, Clinton admitted, "We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest."
Nevertheless, on Sept. 14, as the bodies were unloaded at Andrews Air Force base, Clinton continued to perpetuate the YouTube myth — blaming the "tyranny of a mob" enraged by "an awful internet video."
Why did she do this? Only she knows for sure, but it is reasonable to assume that she did this in order to shield her boss, President Obama, from potential political fallout from a 9/11 terrorist-led attack on American personnel just weeks before the 2012 presidential election.
Clinton now blames her contradictory statements on confusion caused by the "fog of war." But, as we learned Thursday, she wasn't at all confused when she spoke with her daughter or with the Egyptian Prime Minister. Nor was she confused when she crafted her oh-so lawyerly public statements about the incident. Yet, she continues to claim confusion when asked about her contradictory statements.
Although Clinton's testimony did not shed light on what Ambassador Stevens was doing in Benghazi the night he was killed — or whether, as CNN and other news outlets have suggested, he was part of a covert American attempt to arm the Syrian rebels — her demeanor during this line of questioning raises important questions.
When confronted by Kansas Republican Mike Pompeo (my law school classmate), with an email from a state department aide suggesting that the U.S. government use "private contractors" to arm the rebels, Clinton seemed uncharacteristically nervous and paused uncomfortably before claiming the idea was never considered "seriously."
Thursday's hearing confirmed not only that Hillary Clinton is willing to lie to the American people for political expediency, but also that she is contemptuous of Republicans and disrespectful of Congress.
Despite attempts to look presidential and above the fray, Clinton came across as disdainful and impatient. She rolled her eyes, let out exasperated sighs, and often looked visibly bored or annoyed.
In one response that was simultaneously self-promoting and condescending, Clinton snapped, "I wrote a whole chapter about this in my book, Hard Choices. I'd be glad to send it to you, Congressman."
But most importantly, we learned that Clintonism works: that if you hedge and stonewall and withhold relevant documents for years on end, then when the truth finally emerges (as it began to on Thursday), the public will write it off as "old news" or some sort of partisan witch hunt.
Thursday's hearing made clear: obstruction works. Hillary lied, and (to date) she has gotten away with it.

Внешний блок неизвестной ширины. В нём 2 картинки равной ширины и высоты. Нужно сделать так чтоб обе картинки занимали всю полезную площадь по ширине внутри блока, но имели отступ строго 8px между собой и от краёв родительского блока. Поддержка старыми браузерами не нужна.

A: *

*Заворачиваем картинки в блоки шириной 50%. Картинки растягиваем на 100%. Прописываем box-sizing: border-box;, чтобы свойство width определяло ширину самих блоков, а не их содержимого.

*Ставим блоки рядышком с помощью float: left;. Чтобы родительский блок не схлопнулся, назначаем ему overflow: hidden;. В этом случае высота родителя рассчитывается с учётом плавающих в нём потомков.

*Блокам и контейнеру задаём padding в половину от требуемых 8 пикселей. Чтобы не возникал отступ от нижнего края картинок, добавляем им свойство display: block;.

All New Volvos After 2019 to be Electrified
drive-e
mild hybrid
Automakers have been in a frenzy of late to claim a leadership position with electrification. Volvo has now taken a significant step in that direction by announcing its intention to include an electric motor in all of its models launched after 2019.
That doesn't signify an exclusive leap toward battery electric cars, even though Volvo does plan to launch five all-electric vehicles between 2019 and 2021. Electrification can take many forms including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric-assist systems, plus of course cars that run exclusively on batteries. There will be a mix in the Volvo lineup depending on a model's propulsion needs and market demands.
This move is not a surprise. Volvo announced three years ago that it was replacing the five- and six-cylinder engines that had been powering its models with a new and more efficient Drive-E four-cylinder. This engine architecture was designed from the beginning to include a start-stop motor and regenerative braking, plus ready integration with hybrid and plug-in hybrid technology.
The first use of Drive-E engines in the U.S. was in select 2015 Volvo models. Since Volvo's plan all along was to transition its models to Drive-E power and this engine was designed for electrification, using electrically-augmented Drive-E engines – or in some cases battery electric drivetrains – in all new models after 2019 represents the next stage of this transition.

Chiral molecules split light: Reflection and refraction in a chiral liquid
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, 97(17), 2006, Featured highlight 'Fundamental optical physics: Refraction' Nature Photonics, Nov. 2006. (article)
A light beam changes direction as it enters a liquid at an angle from another medium, such as air. Should the liquid contain molecules that lack mirror symmetry, then it has been predicted by Fresnel that the light beam will not only change direction, but will actually split into two separate beams with a small difference in the respective angles of refraction. Here we report the observation of this phenomenon. We also demonstrate that the angle of reflection does not equal the angle of incidence in a chiral medium. Unlike conventional optical rotation, which depends on the path-length through the sample, the reported reflection and refraction phenomena arise within a few wavelengths at the interface and thereby suggest a new approach to polarimetry that can be used in microfluidic volumes.

Direct chiral discrimination in NMR spectroscopy
Buckingham, A., Fischer, P.
CHEMICAL PHYSICS, 324(1):111-116, 2006 (article)
Conventional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is unable to distinguish between the two mirror-image forms (enantiomers) of a chiral molecule. This is because the NMR spectrum is determined by the chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants which - in the absence of a chiral solvent - are identical for the two enantiomers. We discuss how chirality may nevertheless be directly detected in liquid-state NMR spectroscopy: In a chiral molecule, the rotating nuclear magnetic moment induces an electric dipole moment in the direction perpendicular to itself and to the permanent magnetic field of the spectrometer. We present computations of the precessing electric polarization following a pi/2 pulse. Our estimates indicate that the electric polarization should be detectable in favourable cases. We also predict that application of an electrostatic field induces a chirally sensitive magnetization oscillating in the direction of the permanent magnetic field. We show that the electric-field-perturbed chemical shift tensor, the nuclear magnetic shielding polarizability, underlies these chiral NMR effects. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

NONLINEAR OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF CHIRAL LIQUIDS Electric-dipolar pseudoscalars in nonlinear optics
Fischer, P., Champagne, B.
In NON-LINEAR OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER: FROM MOLECULES TO CONDENSED PHASES, 1, pages: 359-381, Challenges and Advances in Computational Chemistry and Physics, 2006 (incollection)
We give all overview of linear and nonlinear optical processes that can be specific to chiral molecules in isotropic media. Specifically, we discuss the pseudoscalars that underlie nonlinear optical activity and chiral frequency conversion processes in fluids. We show that nonlinear optical techniques open entirely new ways of exploring chirality: Sum-frequency-generation (SFG) at second-order and BioCARS at fourth-order arise in the electric-dipole approximation and do not require circularly polarized light to detect chiral molecules in solution. Here the frequency conversion in itself is a measure of chirality. This is in contrast to natural optical activity phenomena which are based on the interference of radiation from induced oscillating electric and magnetic dipoles, and which are observed as a differential response to right and left circularly polarized light. We give examples from our SFG experiments in optically active solutions and show how the application of an additional static electric field to sum-frequency generation allows the absolute configuration of the chiral solute to be determined via all electric-dipolar process. Results from ab initio calculations of the SFG pseudoscalar are presented for a number of chiral molecules

Ring-resonator-based frequency-domain optical activity measurements of a chiral liquid
Vollmer, F., Fischer, P.
OPTICS LETTERS, 31(4):453-455, 2006 (article)
Chiral liquids rotate the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light and are therefore optically active. Here we show that optical rotation can be observed in the frequency domain. A chiral liquid introduced in a fiber-loop ring resonator that supports left and right circularly polarized modes gives rise to relative frequency shifts that are a direct measure of the liquid's circular birefringence and hence of its optical activity. The effect is in principle not diminished if the circumference of the ring is reduced. The technique is similarly applicable to refractive index and linear birefringence measurements.

Sign of the refractive index in a gain medium with negative permittivity and permeability

JOURNAL OF THE OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA B-OPTICAL PHYSICS, 23(1):45-50, 2006 (article)
We show how the sign of the refractive index in any medium may be derived using a rigorous analysis based on Einstein causality. In particular, we consider left-handed materials, i.e., media that have negative permittivities and permeabilities at the frequency of interest. We find that the consideration of gain in such media can give rise to a positive refractive index. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.

Nonlinear optical spectroscopy of chiral molecules
Fischer, P., Hache, F.
CHIRALITY, 17(8):421-437, 2005 (article)
We review nonlinear optical processes that are specific to chiral molecules in solution and on surfaces. In contrast to conventional natural optical activity phenomena, which depend linearly on the electric field strength of the optical field, we discuss how optical processes that are nonlinear (quadratic, cubic, and quartic) functions of the electromagnetic field strength may probe optically active centers and chiral vibrations. We show that nonlinear techniques open entirely new ways of exploring chirality in chemical and biological systems: The cubic processes give rise to nonlinear circular dichroism and nonlinear optical rotation and make it possible to observe dynamic chiral processes at ultrafast time scales. The quadratic second-harmonic and sum-frequency-generation phenomena and the quartic processes may arise entirely in the electric-dipole approximation and do not require the use of circularly polarized light to detect chirality: They provide surface selectivity and their observables can be relatively much larger than in linear optical activity. These processes also give rise to the generation of light at a new color, and in liquids this frequency conversion only occurs if the solution is optically active. We survey recent chiral nonlinear optical experiments and give examples of their application to problems of biophysical interest. (C) 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Negative refraction at optical frequencies in nonmagnetic two-component molecular media
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, 95(6), 2005 (article)
There is significant motivation to develop media with negative refractive indices at optical frequencies, but efforts in this direction are hampered by the weakness of the magnetic response at such frequencies. We show theoretically that a nonmagnetic medium with two atomic or molecular constituents can exhibit a negative refractive index. A negative index is possible even when the real parts of both the permittivity and permeability are positive. This surprising result provides a route to isotropic negative-index media at optical frequencies.

New electro-optic effect: Sum-frequency generation from optically active liquids in the presence of a dc electric field
Fischer, P., Buckingham, A., Beckwitt, K., Wiersma, D., Wise, F.
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, 91(17), 2003 (article)
We report the observation of sum-frequency signals that depend linearly on an applied electrostatic field and that change sign with the handedness of an optically active solute. This recently predicted chiral electro-optic effect exists in the electric-dipole approximation. The static electric field gives rise to an electric-field-induced sum-frequency signal (an achiral third-order process) that interferes with the chirality-specific sum-frequency at second order. The cross-terms linear in the electrostatic field constitute the effect and may be used to determine the absolute sign of second- and third-order nonlinear-optical susceptibilities in isotropic media.

Chiral and achiral contributions to sum-frequency generation from optically active solutions of binaphthol
Fischer, P., Wise, F., Albrecht, A.
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A, 107(40):8232-8238, 2003 (article)
The nonlinear sum- and difference-frequency generation spectroscopies can be probes of molecular chirality in optically active systems. We present a tensorial analysis of the chirality-specific electric-dipolar sum-frequency-generation susceptibility and the achiral electric-quadrupolar and magnetic-dipolar nonlinearities at second order in isotropic media. The chiral and achiral contributions to the sum-frequency signal from the bulk of optically active solutions of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (2,2'-dehydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl) can be distinguished, and the former dominates. Ab initio computations reveal the dramatic resonance enhancement that the isotropic component of the electric-dipolar three-wave mixing hyperpolarizability experiences. Away from resonance its magnitude rapidly decreases, as-unlike the vector component-it is zero in the static limit. The dispersion of the first hyperpolarizability is computed by a configuration interaction singles sum-over-states approach with explicit regard to the Franck-Condon active vibrational substructure for all resonant electronic states.

Dear Quote Investigator: Achieving wealth and a svelte body have become idealized goals in some cultural milieus. Here are three versions of a pertinent maxim:
You can never be too rich or too thin.
You can't be too thin or too rich.
A woman can never be too thin or too rich.
As knowledge of the eating disorders anorexia and bulimia has grown this saying has become more sinister to some. Would you please explore its origin?

What Are You Doing Here? Why the Devil Aren't You Home Writing?
Sinclair Lewis? Bennett Cerf? Storm Jameson? Leon Uris? Abraham Cady? Truman Capote? James Michener? Anonymous?
Dear Quote Investigator: Classes which attempt to teach writing have proliferated in recent decades. Yet, an undercurrent of skepticism regarding the value of this pedagogical endeavor persists.
According to a sardonic anecdote a successful author was once badgered into conducting a guest lecture at a prestigious university. The classroom was packed, and the author was given a lengthy and glowing introduction by the beaming professor who coordinated the class.
The author began by asking the audience members whether they genuinely wanted to become writers. Every student in the room raised a hand signaling enthusiastic commitment. The intensity of emotion caused the writer to step back, pause, and lay down a set of notes. "In that case," the exasperated speaker said, "why are you wasting your time here? Go home and write!" The author then walked away from the podium.
Would you please explore the provenance of this tale? Who was the author, and what was the name of the university?
Quote Investigator: The earliest match located by QI appeared in "The Daily Oklahoman" of Oklahoma City in July 1945. Boldface added to excerpts by QI:[1] 1945 July 1, The Daily Oklahoman, If You Want to Try And Write, Go Ahead, Quote Page 11C, Column 8, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. (Newspapers_com)
Shortly before Sinclair Lewis went home to his native Minnesota where he believes he can do his best work, he addressed a class of would-be novelists at the Columbia School of Journalism. He began with "I understand you all want to be writers. Well, what are you doing here? Why the devil aren't you home writing?"
U.S. novelist and playwright Sinclair Lewis received the Nobel Prize in Literature for 1930. He is the leading candidate for deliverer of this truncated lecture although QI has not yet found any evidence that Lewis told the anecdote himself.
This tale appeared in a variety of newspapers during the ensuing months and years. In August 1945 "The Evening Republican" of Columbus, Indiana pointed to publisher Bennett Cerf as a crucial popularizer of the story:[2] 1945 August 1, The Evening Republican, No News Is Good News, Quote Page 4, Column 2, Columbus, Indiana.

That's Not Writing; That's Just Typing
Truman Capote? Apocryphal?
Dear Quote Investigator: The authors of The Beat Generation were an influential disaffected group whose works jolted the culture of 1950s America. The spontaneous prose technique employed by the central figure Jack Kerouac in the composition of his 1957 novel "On the Road" was acclaimed and disparaged. The most trenchant criticism reportedly was delivered by author Truman Capote:
That's not writing, that's typing
Did Capote really say this? What were the circumstances?
Quote Investigator: The phrasing of this censorious expression was variable. Truman Capote used distinct versions in 1957 and 1959. In 1957 he criticized the author Colin Wilson together with other writers whose literary style he deemed deficient. In 1959 he attacked Jack Kerouac and other Beat-Generation authors.
The earliest evidence known to QI appeared in an interview with Capote published in the Spring-Summer 1957 issue of "The Paris Review".[1]Spring-Summer 1957, The Paris Review, Number 16, Truman Capote, The Art of Fiction No. 17, Interviewed by Pati Hill, Paris Review, Inc., Flushing, New York.

But yes, there is such an animal as a nonstylist. Only they're not writers. They're typists. Sweaty typists blacking up pounds of Bond with formless, eyeless, earless messages.
The instance above differed from the popular modern instances by employing the forms "writers" and "typists" instead of "writing" and "typing'. Capote was criticizing a group of authors, but only one was named during the interview:
Colin Wilson? Another typist.

Our story begins with our protagonist Viola shipwrecked in a terrible storm in a country named Illyria. In the shipwreck, Viola becomes separated from her twin brother, Sebastian. Sebastian is rescued by a pirate named Antonio.
As it is very hard in Illyria to get a job as a woman (boo), Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario. Viola gets a job in Duke Orsino's court. Duke Orsino is a heartsick lord, in love with a Lady named Olivia. Olivia does not love him back. Viola, however, has very much fallen in love with Duke Orsino.
Olivia has plenty going on without having to worry about Orsino. Olivia lives with her Uncle, Sir Toby; her chambermaid, Maria; and her very uptight servant, Malvolio. Toby is always having parties. He invites his best friend Sir Andrew to try and marry his niece, Olivia. Malvolio is constantly frustrated with their shenanigans.
Orsino comes up with a plan to have Viola (who is still disguised as Cesario) woo Olivia for him. This plan quickly backfires, as Olivia falls in love with Viola. Olivia comes up with the excuse of a "dropped ring" in order to make Viola come back to her. Viola receives the ring and realizes Olivia has fallen in love with her alter ego of Cesario.
Viola's twin Sebastian also finds himself in Illyria in the company of the wanted pirate Antonio. Sebastian is eager to get to know this new unknown place. Antonio, fearing he will be caught, is not so eager. Antonio gives Sebastian his purse and tells him to meet him later in the day. They part ways, and Sebastian sets out to explore Illyria.
Toby is having another party with Maria and Andrew. It is interrupted by Mavolio, who threatens to tell Olivia. Maria, who has had enough of Malvolio's uptight ways, comes up with the idea to play a trick on him. With some help, Maria crafts a letter to make Malvolio believe Olivia is in love with him. Malvolio finds the letter and is overjoyed with the news. He rushes away to perform the tasks asked of him in the letter. This includes wearing silly yellow stockings, which in reality is something Olivia hates! Toby, Maria, and Andrew are very pleased with themselves.
Orsino and Viola (still disguised as Cesario) debate as to whether women can love as much as men. Viola stands up for women and convinces Orsino to rethink his stance. Unfortunately, he still hasn't given up on Olivia and sends Viola to try to woo Olivia again.
At Olivia's, Olivia confesses her love to Viola. Viola rejects Olivia and returns to Orsino.
Malvolio, decked out in yellow stockings and acting all sorts of silly, tries to confess his love to Olivia. Olivia, unaware of the trick being played on Malvolio, thinks he is unwell. She sends for Toby and Maria to care for him. Instead of caring for him, they isolate him away from everyone else in Illyria. Malvolio is confused, sad, and heartbroken.
Toby and Andrew try to start a fight with Viola. Antonio, who is out looking for Sebastian, mistakes Viola for Sebastian. Antonio leaps to Viola's defense. Antonio is recognized and arrested. When he asks Viola for his purse back, Viola is confused and offers him half of her money. Antonio is shocked and hurt by what he thinks is Sebastian's betrayal of him. Antonio says Sebastian's name, which is overheard by Viola. Viola begins to have hope that her brother is still alive.
Malvolio remains sad and confused by everyone's treatment of him.
Andrew and Toby meet Sebastian on the street and mistake him for Viola. They start a fight with Sebastian. Sebastian fights back. Before things can get really bad, Olivia intervenes, thinking that Andrew and Toby are trying to fight Cesario. Sebastian is love struck and agrees to marry Olivia. They have a quick wedding.
A little while later, Orsino and Viola are walking in the town square, and they see Antonio. Antonio, still thinking Viola is Sebastian, tells Orsino the whole story of saving Sebastian. Olivia enters and sees Viola, calling her "husband." Orsino is shocked and angry at Viola for betraying him. Viola denies marrying Olivia. Sebastian enters and is reunited with Viola. Viola reveals her true identity and confesses her love for Orsino, who returns her love.
Malvolio returns, and Olivia figures out that it must have been Maria, Toby, and Andrew who played the trick on him. The story ends with everyone seeking forgiveness and trying to make Malvolio feel better.

The bottled water industry services a wide customer base with numerous companies and individual clients. The industry is characterized by a small number of very large firms and a substantial number of relatively small consumers with specific geographic niches.
The bottled water business consists of the manufacturing and delivery of spring or purified water in small packages or large containers such as 5 gallon bottles. The product is delivered directly to the customer�s site in either company owned delivery vehicles or through common carriers. Each individual bottled water company provides an implicit promise to its customers that it will manufacture the highest quality product and deliver that product at the agreed upon time.
The customer base in the bottled water industry is very diverse and ranges from individual consumers with single bottle requirements to large multi-cooler business accounts with significant water needs. Each client has its own specific requirements, which are met by the company providing the services and product.
In the past, various bottled water companies have focused on process rather than customer service. Many firms acted on the belief that the delivery of a superior product completed their obligation to the customer. However, the customer service promise includes much more than a simple delivery of a quality product and requires additional services such as on time delivery, proper pricing, responding to additional delivery requests and other specific needs. One of the most important customer responsibilities is the ability to communicate their concerns not only to the customer service departments, but also to the heads of each company.
Although the bottled water industry may seem rather simple, in reality, it is a very complex business. High quality water must be produced and delivered to the customer's location on time and as ordered. Often enough, customer requests change without warning, which is one reason why flexibility is important to the success of the bottled water company.
Frequently, the water needs of the customer exceed original expectations, which causes shortages . However, in order to avoid such a situation as this, the supplier would have already invested in the communication and stock infrastructure to meet all of its clients� demands.
For those suppliers who private label water as a means of customer advertising, the design, printing and durability of the label on the bottle is a critical factor. Therefore, companies creating labels of lesser quality in the design and printing of the labels clearly provide a substandard product to their customers.
Many bottled water suppliers neglect the reality that proper communication channels serve as the basis for fulfilling the customer promise. An overall reliance on voicemail and/or e-mail, an inability to respond quickly to customer needs and the absence of true customer service assistance has created a negative impression of the industry for many customers.
A proper communication system has many technical elements but it should begin with a willingness to include human contact in the communication link. No customer enjoys being dropped into the voicemail void, therefore, the bottled water suppliers that continue to prosper are the companies that uphold the customer service promises and guarantee personally answered customer service calls, which they promptly use to respond to client inquiries and concerns.
There are many excuses for failure to perform but the bottled water suppliers who are truly world class are those who accept responsibility and persevere with their customer satisfaction guarantees. This often includes obtaining little or no profit on a particular transaction in order to fulfill the customer service promise.
Size is not the determinant in the customer service equation. Often, smaller companies are ready, willing and able to better fulfill the customer promise.
Look for a supplier with a track record of not only achieving the customer promise but also one with a history of fulfillment of the promise.

Psychosis & Global Mental Health Roundtable
HomeNewsPsychosis & Global Mental Health Roundtable
Dr Tessa Roberts organized a roundtable that was moderated by Professor Ricardo Araya on the topic of psychosis & global mental health at the IoPPN, King's College London.
On Tuesday 11th June, the IoPPN hosted an impressive panel that comprised many of the leading figures in psychosis research worldwide, to debate the place of psychotic disorders in the global mental health agenda and the role of cross-cultural research in understanding psychosis. Speakers included Prof. Oye Gureje, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria and a previous President of the African Association of Psychiatrists and Allied Professions; Dr. Thara, co-founder and vice chair of the Schizophrenia Research Foundation in India; Prof. Sir Graham Thornicroft, Professor of Community Psychiatry at the IoPPN; Dr. Alex Cohen, anthropologist and previous director of the Global Mental Health programme at the Centre for Global Mental Health; Prof. Diana Rose, user-led researcher at the IoPPN and service user/survivor; Prof. Gerard Hutchinson, Head of Psychiatry at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad; Prof. Jonathan Burns, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Exeter and previously University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa; and Dr. Ursula Read, occupational therapist and researcher in the department of Global Health and Social Medicine at KCL. Prof. Ricardo Araya of the Centre for Global Mental Health chaired the discussions, while Prof. Martin Prince synthesised the debate in his closing remarks.
There was a lively spirit of debate, covering topics such as whether the field of global mental health should place greater emphasis on psychosis as compared to common mental disorders (e.g. depression), human rights protections for people with psychotic illnesses, the role of traditional healers, public health approaches to psychosis, the role of social context in shaping people's risk of psychosis and interpretations of these experiences, the mortality gap for people living with psychotic disorders, and whether outcomes for psychosis really are better in low- and middle-income countries. While there were plenty of differences of opinion, a few key themes that emerged were:
(a) There are huge geographic inequalities in psychosis research, and better data is needed from settings beyond North America/Europe/Australasia
(b) Promoting and protecting human rights should be central to efforts to improve mental health in low-(and high!) resource settings
(c) Antipsychotic medication can have great benefits for some people, but is not enough without wider social support
(d) Understanding the social context within which psychosis is experienced is essential and often neglected, requiring inter-disciplinary research and collaboration with service users
(e) We need to work with and learn from traditional/faith healers in settings where these provide most care for people with psychosis, to enhance the quality and dignity of services that people receive for both their mental and physical health
(f) High mortality of people with psychosis – whether due to medication side-effects or discrimination in health services – requires urgent attention
(g) Dividing the world into two categories (high-income and low- and middle-income countries) tells us little about the specific factors that explain variation in psychosis risk and the course of illness. We need to research the social, economic, cultural and health systems factors that improve or worsen psychotic symptoms, in order to develop public health strategies and build mentally healthy communities
Several of the panellists are currently collaborating on an international research programme called INTREPID II, which aims to generate comparable data on psychosis in India, Nigeria and Trinidad. You can read more about this programme here: www.intrepidresearch.org.

Hydroxychloroquine not effective in preventing the development of COVID-19 when used as post-exposure prophylaxis
null Hydroxychloroquine not effective in preventing the development of COVID-19 when used as post-exposure prophylaxis
Montreal, — A new study suggests that hydroxychloroquine is not effective in preventing the development of COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the disease. This is the main conclusion of the first double-blind, randomized, placebo- controlled trial of hydroxychloroquine for disease prevention to be completed. Coordinated with a large study led by Dr. David Boulware at the University of Minnesota, this clinical trial was led in Canada by Drs. Todd C. Lee and Emily G. McDonald at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC), in collaboration with partners at the Universities of Manitoba and Alberta. The results are published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Todd C. Lee is a member of the Infectious Diseases and Immunity in Global Health Program at the Research Institute of the MUHC, where he conducts research at the Centre for Outcomes and Evaluative Research
"While we had hope this drug would work in this context, our study demonstrates that hydroxychloroquine is no better than placebo when used as post-exposure prophylaxis within 4 days of exposure to someone infected with the new coronavirus," says Dr. Lee, Scientist at the RI-MUHC and Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases at McGill University and one of the lead authors of the study.
This trial included 821 asymptomatic adults with household or healthcare exposure to someone with confirmed COVID-19, who were enrolled nationwide in the United States and in the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Manitoba, and Alberta. Among them, 719 participants reported a high-risk exposure, of less than six feet (2 metres) for more than 10 minutes without one of the components of personal protective equipment (e.g. mask or face shield), to a confirmed COVID-19contact. For the most part, they were healthy younger community dwelling adults (average age 40 years).
Within four days of exposure, the participants received either placebo or hydroxychloroquine by commercial courier which were to be taken over five days, starting with a stronger dose on day 1. Investigators and participants were blinded to the treatment assignments, and an independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) externally reviewed the data.
Dr. Emily McDonald is a member of the Infectious Diseases and Immunity in Global Health Program at the Research Institute of the MUHC, where she conducts research at the Centre for Outcomes and Evaluative Research
"This is the gold standard method for this type of intervention," says Dr. McDonald, Investigator at the RI-MUHC, Director of the MUHC Clinical Practice Assessment Unit and co-author of the study. "It is incredibly important that we complete randomized controlled trials so that we have the best available evidence for how to prevent the spread of COVID-19."
Overall, 107 of 821 of participants developed COVID-19 (either confirmed with a test or symptomatically compatible disease) over the 14 days of follow-up. Both confirmed cases and probable cases were included, due to some lack of availability of diagnostic testing in the United States. Amongst those who received hydroxychloroquine, 49 developed the disease (or compatible symptoms such as fever or cough), vs 58 in the group that received the placebo. Two patients were hospitalized, one in each group. No deaths occurred.
Medication side effects like nausea and abdominal discomfort were more common for patients taking hydroxychloroquine compared to placebo (40% vs. 17%), but no serious treatment-related adverse reactions were reported, including any heart arrhythmia.
''Our study's results set politics aside and provide unbiased evidence to guide practice in the prevention of COVID-19 and reinforce the importance of randomized clinical trials as we work together nationally and internationally to combat the novel coronavirus,'' said Dr. Ryan Zarychanski, Manitoba lead and Associate Professor of Internal medicine, Max Rady College of Medicine, University of Manitoba and Senior scientist, Research Institute in Oncology and Hematology.
Canadian co-investigators include Matthew Cheng, Ilan Schwartz, Lauren MacKenzie, Glen Drobot, Nicole Marten, Lauren Kelly and Sylvain Lother.
Ongoing hydroxychloroquine clinical trials
More research is needed to determine whether hydroxychloroquine can be effective for the early treatment of COVID-19, and whether pre-exposure prophylaxis could be effective in high-risk populations. Various trials are ongoing worldwide, including in Canada (covid- 19research.ca). At the MUHC, a trial looking at early treatment in the community is underway.
About the study
The study A Randomized Trial of Hydroxychloroquine as Postexposure Prophylaxis for Covid-19 was conducted by David R. Boulware MD MPH, Matthew F Pullen MD, Ananta S Bangdiwala MS, Katelyn A Pastick BSc, Sarah M Lofgren MD, Elizabeth C Okafor BSc, Caleb P Skipper MD, Alanna A Nascene BA, Melanie R Nicol PharmD PhD, Mahsa Abassi DO MPH, Nicole W Engen MS, Matthew P Cheng MD, Derek LaBar PharmD, Sylvain A Lother MD, Lauren J MacKenzie MD, MPH, Glen Drobot MD, Nicole Marten RN, Ryan Zarychanski MD MSc, Lauren E Kelly PhD, Ilan S Schwartz MD PhD, Emily G McDonald MD MSc, Radha Rajasingham MD, Todd C Lee MD MPH, Kathy H Hullsiek PhD
This work was made possible through funding from the MUHC Clinical Practice Assessment Unit (CPAU) and is one of the critical research programs being supported by the McGill Interdisciplinary Initiative in Infection and Immunity (MI4) with seed funding from the MUHC Foundation.

ich allow the family to be reunited; likewise, guests are received to share or celebrate important moments where the food dishes are always the protagonists. Also, you can study, work and take meaningful steps in life.
Currently, housing structures, whether houses or apartments, have evolved greatly; this, as a consequence of the changes in lifestyles of modern people, who each time have less time to dedicate themselves to the care and maintenance of the home and, equally, by the high values of the square meters when building. In this way, small spaces that are more practical are chosen. For this reason, the content presented below is focused on how to take better advantage of the space for the dining room?
• A form of L. When space has very few meters, placing the furniture of the dining room in L, the two walls forming a corner are very well used. If the table is square or rectangular, this arrangement is ideal.
• Built-in bench. Build a bench that serves as a seat and embeds it in the wall, comfortably integrates a narrow table, while allowing more people to share at the table without the need to add more chairs.
• Dispense with a header. A good way to take advantage of the space, both the dining room and the table, is to paste only the head of it to the wall. In this way, only one post is sacrificed and not those that correspond to the length of the table.
• Folded tables on the wall. They can be opened and used at your convenience; this way, when they are not being used, these tables are closed and kept folded on the wall. The only drawback of this alternative is that they cannot be moved later; which also prevents placing more posts on the table if necessary.
In addition to the incredible ideas mentioned above, there are other equally good and functional alternatives that allow you to take better advantage of small spaces; either with furniture, or through effects that deceive the perception; In this sense, any activity that takes place around this important section of the house can be enjoyed in a pleasant way.
• Integrated plant. The dining table is located in front of the kitchen. In this way, in addition to serving meals, it is also used as a work table while cooking.
• Kitchen bar. Adding high chairs to the kitchen bar is a quick and practical option to solve space problems that prevent incorporating a dining table.
