Devaughn Akoon Purcell is a 23 year old 196cm forward from Orlando, Florida playing his rookie season with the Bakken Bears (Denmark-Ligaen). He started his basketball career at Eastern Oklahoma State College before moving to Illinois St. (NCAA) in 2014 where he played 28 games: 12.8ppg, 5.6rpg, 1.3apg, 1.0spg, FGP: 46.8%, 3PT: 33.3%, FT: 77.1%. In his senior year he played 31 games: 14.2ppg, 5.1rpg, 1.9apg, FGP: 47.7%, 3PT: 26.0%, FT: 71.2%. He spoke to German Hoops before the Champions League game against the Fraport Skyliners.
Thanks Devaughn for talking to German Hoops.You have not needed any adjustment coming overseas as you are tearing up the Denmark-Ligaen and playing very efficiently and strong in the Champions League. What has been toughest for you playing twice a week and in two different competitions and levels?
Playing twice a week and due to all the traveling has been tough. But as a professional taking care of your body plays a major role in how you perform. So I'll say trying to eat the right things, stretch as much as possible, and lift weights consistently.
Have the first few Champions League games against teams like CEZ Nymburk, Aris and Monaco proved to you that you have the game for the top levels in Europe down the road simply because you have held your own and competited against top teams and ex NBA players like Jiri Welsch, Michaal Jenkins or Nik Caner-Medley?
Most definitely. My job is to go out every night and play my heart out. Weather its scoring, getting rebounds, defending the best player, or even being a vocal leader, I try to do what's necessary at the moment to help my team be successful.
You have averaged only 22 minutes in both competitions, but have performed very efficiently. You would have mind boggling stats if you played 30-32 minutes. Do you feel like playing less has been better for your overall development as a rookie?
Let´s talk a bit of your role. Are you the designated first scoring option or does your high scoring average not really define what the team is seeking to do during games?
I wouldn't say I'm the 1st scoring option. We look for our big guy majority of the time. I try to stay in attack mode at all times and maybe that's why it seems like I'm the 1st scoring option.
So far your shooting 47% from outside in the Danish league. You have never shot this weak. Is shot selection something you have really focused on in your first few months as a professional?
I have taken what the defense gives me.
You are a scorer that also can rebound and shoot the three. What would you say is your biggest strength as a player?
My biggest strength would probably be scoring sometimes I can put a bunch of points up in a short period of time.
To what NBA player would you best compare your game to?
I don't like to compare myself to people but people often tell me I have a little Russell Westbrook in me.
If you had to name a hidden strength in your game that doesn´t get noticed right away on the court what would you say that would be?
How challenging has it been battling Danish veteran Thomas Laerke each day in practice. How has he helped you most in the first few months of your rookie season?
It's been a challenge I have accepted every day in practice we go at it and I believe he's one of the reasons I've been having such good success so far from and individual standpoint.
Talk a bit about the worth of the three Danish veterans Thomas Laerke, Nicolai Iverson and Chris Christoffersen. I saw them play two seasons ago in a Eurochallenge game in Frankfurt. Would this team be functioning as well without them?
They are the key to our team. Their voice in the locker room and on the court plays a major role in our team chemistry.
What has it been like playing with Adama Darboe who is your teams most experienced player. He nailed a buzzer beater in Frankfurt two seasons ago to help his team Boras win a Eurochallenge game. Does he keep the team together?
Yes he's the floor general everything we do on the court is ran through him. He is basically the coach on the court. It's been great playing with him.
Baken has lost most games fairly easily in the Champions League. What do you believe have been the major problems with competing in this league?
Lack of rebounding, defending, and giving up.
The next Champions League game is against the Fraport Skyliners. How excited are to be playing another Champions League game against experienced Americans where you can show your special abilities?
It's just the next game. Got to prepare for it just like any other game.
Last summer you had a Pre-Draft workout with Memphis Grizzlies (NBA). What kind of experience was that for you?
It was a great experience. Memphis showed me a great time and the workout was a good one as well.
After testing your skills against other top NCAA players what did you notice still needs to be done to one day reach the NBA?
Play well consistent which means shoot the ball from 3 at a high percentage. Play defense at a high level. And improve my IQ level.
Before moving to Illinois State you played at Eastern Oklahoma State College. How certain were you that one day you would make the jump to the NCAA?
After my freshman year I realized that I can some day play at a high level that I was playing in.
You had many great games at Illinois State, but which game will forever be etched in your memory most?
Beating Wichita State and the crowd rushing the court.
Who won a one on one in practice you or Daishon Knight?
How did head coach Dan Muller groom and prepare you best for a professional basketball career?
Coach Muller Groomed and prepared me well I guess you can say.
I guess you will have to say Fred Vanvleet or Ron Baker because those 2 guys were successful.
You come from Orlando, Florida. Were you ever curious the last years about the NBA Summer League going on there? Did you ever hang out there to see what was going on and just take in some of the atmosphere?
No not at all. I worked out all summer and stayed to myself.
He is one of the greatest to ever do it.
Thanks Devaughn for the chat.

2 state workers suspended in wake of deadly child abuse case
AP-MS--Child Abuse Death,1st Ld-Writethru
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Two workers with the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services are on administrative leave over the death of a 4-year-old girl and the severe injuring of her younger sister.
The department had months ago received two reports of alleged abuse involving the girls, but the resulting investigations found no evidence to substantiate the allegations. A supervisor and front-line investigator involved in the case were suspended Tuesday, news outlets reported.
Armani Hill, 4, and Lailah Hill, 3, were severely beaten last week while in the care of their mother's boyfriend, James Christopher Anderson, police said.
Anderson then walked the children a quarter mile (0.4 kilometers) to his mother's home in Natchez as one of the girls repeatedly fell from her injuries, investigators said. Armani was hospitalized and died. Her sister was in critical condition as of Wednesday.
Anderson is charged with child abuse. The children's mother, Lakeisha Marie Jones, is charged with child deprivation. Investigators said she knew Anderson was abusing her children and failed to stop him. It is unclear whether Jones has an attorney who could comment on her behalf.
Coroner James Lee said Armani died from blunt force trauma.
"There's indication that the abuse of these young babies had gone on for quite some time," Armstrong said.
The Clarion Ledger reports the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services was told in December that Armani and her sister were covered in cigarette burns.
Lea Anne Brandon, the department's director of communications, said policy required an investigation launch within 24 hours, but a probe didn't start until days later. Brandon acknowledged the deadline wasn't met, saying investigators unsuccessfully attempted to contact the family. It's unclear if other investigations have been delayed by similar issues.
The department received another complaint in January after Jones took Lailah to a clinic with a head wound. The young girl told doctors that Jones threw a walkie-talkie at her, but later said Armani threw the toy. Again, an investigation wasn't launched until days later.
Investigators found no evidence supporting the abuse allegations.
The department later opened another investigation, allowing the children to stay in the home amid investigator visits. A social worker last visited in May and closed the case the day before Armani was killed.
Brandon told WLBT-TV that an investigation into worker actions is continuing.
"Where was the ball dropped? Where we should have done more ... we have yet to reach a final conclusion," she said.

After its debut on Netflix, Orange is the New Black quickly gained a cult following. Fans were active on all social media fronts, contributing their thoughts, opinions and fan-made content.
The show capitalized on the fan momentum, offering them tid-bits of exclusive information and behind-the-scene peeks through its social media accounts. More importantly, the show recognized its fans' commitment, enthusiasm and skill, inviting them to participate. The 'Taystee Twist' dance competition, for instance, collected fan-made videos of the dance. Winners received a shout-out from Taystee herself, played by the remarkable Danielle Brooks. Another example was 'Big Boo's Costume Contest,' where Halloween costumes were judged by Big Boo (Lea Delaria).
Orange is the New Black recognized the passion and kinship within its fandom; the show used social media to forge an authentic relationship with an already flourishing-community.

What is an interesting/unique quality you have?
This is a tricky one. I think I am still trying to figure out what makes me unique and what my niche in the world will be. I'm running out of time, to be honest. Probably should have figured it out a long time ago!
The sun or the moon? Why?
What unique object, book, anything do you own?
These questions are hard, Robin! Ummmm…wow, I am really failing at this, aren't I? I don't know that I own anything unique. I have a poem my Grandfather wrote for me – it's very special to me and I don't think anyone else in the family (or maybe the world) would have something similar, so I guess I will say that.
Well, that was some terrible question-answering, and I do apologise!

On Thursday, 25th July, 2018, the Vice-Chancellor and Chief Marketing Officer of Landmark University, Engr. Professor Adeniyi Olayanju admonished the graduating students of Valencia Schools, Ibadan to be resolute and join the league of world changers at Landmark University. He made this assertion as the Special Guest of Honour at the 2018 Graduation and Valedictory ceremony of the schools, held at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan. The Vice-Chancellor stated that the University is committed to her mission of raising new generation of leaders that will effect positive changes in the contemporary world, thereby restoring the dignity of the black race through her agrarian mandate. "As a foremost agriculture-based private University in Nigeria, with irrevocable commitment to exploration of hidden treasures in the mother-earth through which restoration of the dignity of the black race is feasible, Landmark University thrives in the strength of the interdisciplinary operational supports of her four Colleges: Agricultural Sciences, Science and Technology, Engineering, and Business and Social Sciences, towards actualizing her compelling agrarian mandate," he noted.
He further added that Landmark University, being an institution that stands for global best practices, proudly associated with the achievements of Valencia College as reeled out by the proprietor, Engr. Morakinyo Goodness and would like to partner with the College to consolidate on the quality secondary education the students have received in the College. "On this auspicious occasion of the College 2017/18 Graduation Ceremony, I celebrate the faithfulness of God in the operations of college for being known for quality education in her almost a decade of existence both within and outside the shores of this land. "In this era when sound academic and moral knowledge drives innovation and development, it is incumbent on well-meaning parents to send your wards to University like Ours where cost-effective leadership training is guaranteed along with cutting-edge research engagement and Christian ethos," the Vice-Chancellor enthused. In their preparation for future endeavours and higher education, the Vice-Chancellor admonished the students to imbibe a departure philosophy that will stand them out among the crowd. He noted that: "it is only irrational for you to do the same thing same way and expect a different result. If you want to do exceptionally well more than what you have done already, you need new approaches. Departure philosophy provokes the urgency for the needed change in our society. If we want tomorrow to be anything good we must impact positively on the total psyche of today's youths." He thereafter called on these young ones to relentlessly pursue God for profitable and impactful life adventure, saying that "Spirituality is profitable to all things, having the promise of life that now is and of that which is to come." Other values that guarantee an impactful live mentioned were integrity, possibility mentality, responsibility, diligence, capacity building and sacrifice.
The highpoints of the event were the various stimulating and thought-provoking students' presentations. Most amazing presentation was the recitation of the longest Bible chapter, Psalms 119 verses 1-116 by the 5-year-old David Richman Obajuwonlo, a Nursery One pupil of the Valencia Schools. This was with a view to raising a new generation of soldiers of Christ who will be equipped with the Scriptures to change the decadent world.
With the Vice-Chancellor, Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Professor Adeniyi Olayanju at the event were the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, (Administration), Professor Kayode Adebowale, the Special Adviser (Education) to the Oyo State Governor, Dr. (Mrs.) Bisi Akin-Alabi and the representative of the Oyo State Honorable Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Barr. Bayo Oke amongst others.

Ducks out of NCAA Tournament after loss in double OT
@OregonWBB Twitter
Nyara Sabally (1) set a school NCAA Tournament record with seven blocked shots in the Ducks' 73-70 double overtime loss to Belmont in the 2022 NCAA Tournament on Saturday, March 19, 2022.
Fifth seeded Oregon was knocked out of the NCAA Tournament Saturday, after a double overtime, 73-70 loss to No. 12 Belmont. This was the first double overtime in the NCAA tournament since 2013.
The first overtime came after a three-pointer by Tahina Paopao tied the game with 7 seconds left. The Ducks took an early lead in the first overtime and were up 63-58 with 1:35 left before the Bruins went on a 6-1 run to tie it up at 64 and force a second overtime.
Oregon (20-12) led by as much as 4 in the second overtime but Belmont scored on each of its last three possessions. The Ducks didn't score in the final two minutes.
Nyara Sabally had 31 points and 12 rebounds, notching her third double-double in three postseason games this year. Sabally set a school record for blocked shots in an NCAA Tournament game with seven, and she tied the Oregon record for points in an NCAA Tournament game set by Sabrina Ionescu in 2019.
Paopao added 18 points in her NCAA Tournament debut.

Q: What is and where is the runtime environment for 'PHP' like the 'Node.js' runtime environment for 'Javascript' to build server-side web applications? I'm a PHP Developer by profession and I've never used Node.js in my life.
But I know that Node.js is a cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to build server-side and network applications with JavaScript.
The above statement created one query in my mind that like Node.js is there any runtime environment exist for the server-side programming language PHP?
I've never heard that PHP also has a runtime environment which I always hear in case of Javascript which has Node.js as a runtime environment to build server-side web applications.
Someone please clear my doubt in case of runtime environment for PHP. If it's present where it is and what it comprises of? If not, then explain how does PHP allow to build server-side applications without having a runtime environment?
Following is my current setup for PHP :
I'm using PHP 7.4.2 on my laptop that runs on Windows 10 Home Single Language 64-bit operating system.
I've installed the latest version of XAMPP installer on my laptop which has installed the Apache/2.4.41 (Win64) and PHP 7.4.2

A: I'm not sure to understand yours questions, but i'll try to answer you properly.
As en interpreted language I think PHP could not be considered to have runtime environment.

I'll assume by runtime environment you may reference to a complete environment isolated from the other part of the system( like Java VM)

You can use generally PHP in two main ways:
- with a web server (websites, web apps..)
- a standalone executable (CLI scripts)

*

*With a web server, you can not assume this a runtime environment as it come separately: webserver + php module for this webserver

*As a standalone executable, you may have environment variables and others configurable environment elements related but this not isolated from the rest of the operating system:

*

*It doesn't execute is own bytecode (however you could use OPCache

*It doesn't manage it own threads : same as above you can use extension

It's complety différent from NodeJS which use a VM(V8) from my point of view.

Peaceful. Lovely grounds. Quiet area. Brilliant if you are travelling on your own. Really helpful staff. Fantastic breakfast - really delicious traditional Indian food. This is my second stay and I would happily return.
Over expensive stay / average food for a five star & gave me some other room that wasn't even booked.
Very very average, nothing 5 Star about it.
Flush doesn't work properly. Rooms are very old and it's high time to upgrade. Quality of the food not up to the mark.

La LRRC8A (Leucine-rich repeat-containig protein 8A), també anomenada AGM5 o "SWELL1", és una proteïna que pertany al grup dels pèptids amb dominis rics en leucina (LRRC8), essent codificada en humans pel gen LRRC8A. Juntament amb la LRRC8B, la LRRC8C, la LRRC8D i la LRRC8E, la LRRC8A és una subunitat de l'heteròmer VRAC (volume-regulated anion channel).

Història
El 2003, a la revista The Journal of Clinical Investigation, es va publicar un article on s'exposava el cas d'una noia que patia una agammaglobulinemia congènita, caracteritzada per una anomalia (concretament, una translocació) en la presència dels limfòcits B en la sang. Els científics van descobrir que aquesta afectació es produïa a causa d'un mal funcionament d'un gen del cromosoma 9, que es trobava erròniament truncant i que codifica les proteïnes de la família de la LRRC8. A partir d'aquest moment, es va intentar extreure la proteïna generada a partir del gen per tal d'estudiar-ne l'estructura i totes les propietats i així descobrir com la producció d'aquesta proteïna provocava l'anomalia (Vegeu l'apartat Malalties).

Més tard, al 2012, en un estudi que es pot trobar en la Wiley Online Library, els investigadors Federico Abascal i Rafael Zardoya van descobrir que les LRRC8 tenien un avantpassat comú amb un grup de proteïnes anomenat pannexines, que s'encarreguen d'establir fluxos d'ions i petites molècules de les parts intracel·lular i extracel·lular de les cèl·lules. Aquesta semblança es va trobar en la localització de les hèlix alfa i els loops , així com en l'alineació d'ambdues proteïnes, que mostrava una coincidencia de més del 75% dels aminoàcids. A més, aquesta semblança permet predir amb més fiabilitat les estructures terciaria i quaternari de la LRRC8A i d'aquesta manera poder deduir les seves funcions. Aquest estudi va demostrar també que el gen que codifica per la proteïna LRRC8A va aparèixer arrel d'una duplicació de la seqüència de la proteïna LRRC8B i que, a causa de això, ambdues proteïnes tenen grups molt similars a nivell aminoacídic. Tot i això, es van adonar que els tipus A i D eren els més similars en la regió transmembrana, ja que ambdós compartien regions molt riques en residus de serines, tionines i treonines.

Estructura
Les proteïnes LRRC8 estan formades per 4 hèlix alfa transmembranes situades a l'extrem amino-terminal i per un domini ric en leucines (LRRD) amb 17 pèptids rics en leucina (LRR) situats a l'extrem carboni-terminal. Les 4 hèlix alfa es troben connectades per 2 loops extracel·lulars i 1 loop intracel·lular que connecta la segona i tercera hèlix i presenta una acumulació de fosforilacions de serina, tirosina i treonina (Veure figura 2).

A les parts citosòliques, la proteïna presenta diverses acetilacions i ubiqüitinacions a lisines i a la part extracel·lular s'han detectat algunes N-glicosilacions i diverses cisteïnes, que fan enllaços de tipus pont disulfur amb els girs propers a les  gap junctions.

Així doncs, les prediccions mostren una zona carregada positivament a la part convexa de la proteïna, mentre la concava mostra una barreja entre càrregues positives i negatives i l'extrem C-terminal es presenta carregat negativament.

Respecte les estructures terciària i quaternària de les LRRC8A només existeixen prediccions, ja que aquesta proteïna no ha pogut ser cristal·litzada per tal d'observar la seva forma. Gràcies a la seva proximitat evolutiva i semblança amb les pannexines (es conserven les hèlix alfa transmembrana, els loops i els parells de cisteïnes dels girs extracel·lulars de les proteïnes de gap junction) les prediccions van dirigides cap a la formació d'un canal hexameric equivalent. D'aquesta manera, si les LRRC8 formen hexamers com les pannexines, esperariem trobar interaccions entre les 6 LRRD intracel·lulars, i alguns estudis semblen indicar que podrien formar complexos homotípics.

Topologia

Estudis recents basats en el model topològic de l'infraroig demostren una distribució que situaria les regions N-terminal i C-terminal (amb les LRRD) dirigides cap al citoplasma (com es pot veure a la Figura 2), hipòtesi que trencaria amb les suposicions anteriors segons les que les LRRD estaven dirigides cap a l'exterior per un únic pas transmembrana de les LRRC 1 i 2, que es basaven en les similituds amb la majoria dels receptors de LRRC en animals.

Aquestes proteïnes han estat detectades en diferents parts de la cèl·lules humana i de ratolí tals com la membrana plasmàtica, els endosomes i els lípid droplets. En totes aquestes estructures, els dos extrems de la proteïna queden dirigits cap a l'interior.

Caldria determinar, en estudis posteriors, la distribució de la proteïna LRRC8A al llarg de la membrana cel·lular quant a la seva simetria o asimetria.

Funcions
S'ha posat de manifest que la LRRC8A és una proteïna potencialment activa en la cèl·lula dels mamífers, però tot i això encara no s'ha determinat amb total exactitud la diversitat de funcions que podria assumir, presentant-hi encara discrepàncies quant a la fiabilitat dels estudis realitzats.
La teoria més sostinguda es basa en afirmar que la proteïna LRRC8A, d'entre els sis membres que conformen aquesta família, és l'única subunitat essencial en la Regulació del Volum dels Canals dels Anions (VRAC), el qual està implicat en diversos processos fisiològics. És per això que una de les seves funcions més importants és el control de l'homeòstasi del volum cel·lular, essent activada per solucions hipotòniques.L'esmentada proteïna, situada estratègicament en la bicapa lipídica, detecta les concentracions elevades de sal dins la cèl·lula i, per mitjà d'estímuls osmòtics o altres cascades de senyalització, interactua amb la resta de proteïnes isoformes que col·laboren, totes alhora, per dilatar el VRAC. D'aquesta forma, la dissolució aquosa, en combinació d'ions i altres osmòlits orgànics com la taurina i el mioinositol, circula a favor de gradient per solucionar l'estrès hipotònic, amb el consegüent augment del volum cel·lular. S'especula, doncs, que es forma a partir d'hexàmers de proteïnes LRRC8 juntament amb les LRRD, presentant una analogia conformacional amb els precursors evolutius d'aquestes molècules, les pannexines. De forma antagònica, el VRAC també es contrau, en aquest cas no per l'efecte de la LRRC8A, sinó per la DCPIB. Si més no, la sobreexpressió d'aquesta proteïna ocasiona exactament l'efecte contrari, ja que disminueix notablement els fluxos a través del canal.

A més, la LRRC8A participa del transport de neurotransmissors tal com els aminoàcids glutamat, l'aspartat, l'àcid γ-aminobutíric (GABA) i el coactivador D-serina, que passen a formar part de l'interstici en produirs-se la inflor de la cèl·lula.

Finalment, cal destacar la seva implicació en la immunologia. L'equip format per Lalit Kumar, Janet Chou, Christina S.K. Yee, Arturo Borzutzky, Elisabeth H. Vollmann, Ulrich H. von Andrian,Shin-Young Park,Georg Hollander, John P. Manis, P. Luigi Poliani i Raif S. Geha, amb la col·laboració d'alguns departaments de diferents hospitals i instituts d'investigació arreu del món, entre els quals destaquen el Boston Children's Hospital i el Harvard Medical School, van fer estudis amb ratolins de laboratori. D'aquesta forma generaren espècies amb ausència d'aquesta proteïna, en què s'havia vist augmentada la taxa de mortalitat prenatal i postnatal, el retard del creixement, anomalies dels teixits múltiples , una disminució de la proliferació i un augment de l'apoptosi dels timòcits i la funció de les cèl·lules T perifèriques alterades. Aleshores varen concloure que la LRRC8A ocupa un paper essencial per a la LRRC8A en el desenvolupament de la cèl·lula T, la seva supervivència i la seva funció.

Aquestes funcions romanen com a hipòtesis a l'espera de futurs estudis que puguin aportar més informació sobre el comportament d'aquesta proteïna.

Malalties vinculades
L'agammaglobulinemia és una síndrome congènita caracteritzada per un defecte de limfòcits B amb funció preservada de limfòcits T. Es creu que és causat per anormalitats a molècules relacionades amb el desenvolupament o proliferació d'aquestes cèl·lules. Es suposa, per tant, que o aquestes molècules són factors intrínsecs que actuen a les cèl·lules B o a les seves precursores, o bé que formen part del microentorn que participa en el desenvolupament dels limfòcits B. El 80% d'afectats per agammaglobulinemia pateixen una mutació al gen BTK. Tot i així, es trobà un cas d'una noia afectada, la qual en les anàlisis cariotípiques mostrà una translocació cromosomal equilibrada ( t(9;20), (q33.2;q12) ). L'expressió del gen BTK als seus glòbuls blancs no es va veure afectada i es trobà un nou gen, LRRC8. Se sap que si hi ha una mutació de translocació al gen LRRC8 s'eliminen l'octau, el novè i la meitat del setè domini de LRR molt pròxims al C-terminal. Els estudis demostren per tant, que la LRRC8 és importantíssima en el desenvolupament de limfòcits B. La proteïna consisteix en 810 aminoàcids. és codificada per un gen amb dos exons, el primer codifica 719 aminoàcids i el segon 91. El gen truncat però, només codifica 754 aminoàcids( 719 de l'axó 1 i 35 l'axó 2).

També trobem que una mutació de deleció en el gen que codifica la proteïna donarà lloc a una disminució de l'activitat del VRAC. Això causa efectes estructurals secundaris a les gàmetes masculines de ratolins. Concretament la LRRC8A d'aquests es localitza a la membrana de les gàmetes i és sobretot molt abundant en la part mitjana de les cues madures d'esperma. En ratolins aquesta mutació conduirà a la pèrdua de gàmetes resultant en la completa esterilitat.

La leucoencefalopatía megalencefálica amb quistes subcorticals (MLC) és un tipus rar de leucodistrofia causada per mutacions en dos gens diferents: MLC1, que és més freqüent i GlialCAM. MLC1 és una proteïna de membrana que presenta un baix nivell d'homologia als canals iònics, mentre que GlialCAM és una molècula d'adhesió que pertany a la superfamilia d'immunoglobulina .

Els estudis d'una biopsia cerebral d'un pacient de MLC revelaren que la mielina i els astròcits mostraven vacuolació. A més, els estudis espectroscòpics de MRI van indicar un augment del contingut d'aigua en el cervell dels pacients. Aquests resultats suggereixen que els pacients de MLC presenten un defecte en l'homeòstasi del fluid. Com que el paper molecular de GlialCAM i MLC1 encara es desconeix, es va especular que GlialCAM / MLC1 podria influir o interactuar amb altres proteïnes, com ara els canals iònics que provoquen una homeòstasi iònica alterada.

Es demostra que en absència de GlialCAM i MLC1 els corrents al VRAC es veuen reduïts mentre que a la inversa succeeix el contrari. Els VRAC són importants en la regulació del volum: alliberen osmolits com la taurina i el glutamat i anions com el clorur. Això donarà lloc a canvis en la força motriu de l'osmolaritat i com a resultat un vessament d'aigua. Aquest procés es denomina disminució del volum regulador (RVD) i permet que les cèl·lules tornin a la seva mida original després d'un xoc hipotònic. El VRAC està format per la família de les LRRC8, i la LRRC8A és essencial per dur a terme aquests corrents.

Rebels snap up Fijian replacement for Will Genia
The Jaguares have become Super Rugby's much-needed feel-good story

28 June, 8:46am
Melbourne Rebels posted a positive start to their 2019 Super Rugby season, which included two wins in the opening four weeks against the Brumbies, who take on the Jaguares in the first of the competition's semi-finals.
That early momentum faded, though, as the Rebels ended up finishing second in the Australian conference with a record of just seven wins in their 16 games, a total that saw them manage to finish only 11th on the overall log and comfortably out of play-off contention.
There were moments of magic between Will Genia and Quade Cooper in the half-backs, as the tournament-winning combination from the Reds in 2011 reunited in Melbourne. But with Genia now reported to be heading to Japan after the World Cup, head coach David Wessels has moved to bolster his options at scrum-half.
Fijian international Frank Lomani, who was previously part of the Rebels squad in 2018, has agreed to a two-year deal with the franchise where he will compete with former Australian under-20 Harrison Goddard.

"Signing with the Melbourne Rebels is a dream come true for me," said Lomani. "I'm looking forward to developing my game in a world-class environment and picking up as much as I can from my new team-mates."
Michael Ruru, the only other scrum-half currently on the Rebels roster, is off to Bayonne, who recently secured their promotion back to the Top 14.
Lomani, 23, has been one of the standout performers for the Fijian Drua side since their inclusion in Australia's National Rugby Championship, as well as featuring for the Barbarians in their game against Argentina at Twickenham last year. Since making his debut for Fiji against Samoa in 2017, Lomani has gone on to win eight caps.
The young No9 is one of four scrum-halves included in Fiji's 42-man squad for the upcoming Pacific Nations Cup and, barring injury or a drop in form, is likely to be one of the 31-man contingent that heads to Japan later this year.
Australian and New Zealand Super Rugby franchises have often been reluctant to bring in capped players from the Pacific Island nations. However, with the player exoduses to Europe and Japan rising to new levels thanks to the Rugby World Cup, they cannot afford to turn down players as talented as Lomani.
Melbourne Rebels general manager Nick Ryan explained: "Frank is a guy we've had our eye on for a while now, particularly after the way he dominated the NRC last season.
"Spending so much time in the national squad has certainly fast-tracked his development. There's no doubt he will emerge as one of the bright stars at this year's Rugby World Cup in Japan."

The event, organized within the framework of the "United Russia" Party Project "St. Petersburg — the Sea Capital of RUSSIA" and the 200th anniversary of the transport department and transport education creation, has been devoted to the development of the transport and logistical infrastructure in all regions of Russia and to the attraction of the transit goods traffic on territory of the country.
Salutatory words to the participants of the conference have been made by Igor Levitin, the Minister of transport of the Russian Federation, Arthur Chilingarov, the Coordinator of the Project "St. Petersburg — the Sea Capital of RUSSIA" and Sergey Jurpalov, the deputy Minister of the regional development. The reports have been presented by Pavel Borodin, the state secretary of the union state of Russia and Byelorussia, Igor Mikhalchuk, the governor of the Arkhangelsk region, Roman Kopin, the governor of the Chukotka Autonomous District, representatives of administrations from St.-Petersburg, the Leningrad region, the Murmansk region, the Komi Republic and the Perm Territory, etc.
It has been noted at conference that modernization of Russia's economy depends directly on the introduction of the united national transport and logistical system. Only in this case the state territorial integrity will be provided, the country regions will be included into the united economic and defensive space, the exits to the raw-material bases will be opened and there will be a possibility of the far removed territories' complex development. The key role in this process is played by the transport corridors, including the Northern Sea Route.
The participants of the conference have come to a conclusion about the necessity of the Federal Target Program for decision of the major problem - the Northern Sea Route restoration. The program should include special actions for the regional infrastructure development and the human resource maintenance of the new transport objects, located on the territory of this transport corridor. According to the participants, the working groups cooperation of the "UNITED RUSSIA" party project "St.-Petersburg – the sea capital of RUSSIA" and the projects "Northern sea Route – the national transport artery of Russia", "The Infrastructure of Russia" will form a basis for the generation of the conceptual issues of this Federal Target Program and will make possible the development of necessary measures for its realization.
At the «Transport and transit potential» conference there have been also discussed the largest infrastructural projects which are carrying out in the regions of the Russian Federation. Among them there are the "Belkomur" project, the development of the St.-Petersburg transport-logistical complex, the Murmansk transport hub, the «China-Russia (Skovorodino-Tiksi)» corridor formation in Republic Sakha (Yakutia), etc.
Within the framework of the conference the thematic round-tables in three directions – automobile transportation, railway and sea cargo transportation - have been organized. During the sessions special attention was given to the perspectives of the self-regulation institute' development.
At the round-table, devoted to the automobile transportation, there were discussed the questions, concerning the necessity of the federal law project acceptance "About the alteration of the separate federal laws in connection with the establishment of the carriers' self-regulated organizations (SRO) institute", that has being on consideration in the State Duma. The Deputy minister of transport of the Russian Federation Nickolay Ljamov has declared the formation of the expert working group, together with the State Duma, in reference to the discussion of the SRO activity concept in Russia.
During the maritime transport round-table the main problems of the self-regulation in the sphere of the sea and river transport were observed. Among them there was the necessity of decrease in superfluous control function of the state, the definition of the special authority in registration of self-regulated organizations because of getting the SRO status by the leading branch noncommercial organizations. In the course of discussion there was confirmed the importance and the necessity of the activity continuation of the interdepartmental working group, generated at the State Duma for the principles development of self-regulation in transport sphere, etc.
At the round-table devoted to the basic aspects of the railway cargo transit organization, the key problems of the sphere were discussed. Among them there was the reforming of the transport market of and, according to it, the necessity of changes in the system of all relations on the railway, modification of the existing legal framework. The participants of discussion also have expressed their opinion concerning the SRO creation and the problems that will face to them.
The conference has united more than 200 transport market members from the 20 subjects of the Russian Federation, from Scandinavia and the Baltic. According to the participants, the event has given an opportunity to analyze the key problems of transport and logistic branches and work out the effective measures of the Russia's transit potential realization. The discussion of the most urgent questions will be continued at the III International conference "St. Petersburg — the Sea Capital of RUSSIA. Transport and Transit Potential" that will be held in September, 2010.

Martin Sorrell, former top boss at advertising conglomerate WPP, feels that the JWT-Wunderman merger does not make sense in the Indian context and putting Wunderman on top of J Walter Thompson is like pinning the tail on the donkey. Talking to ET's Gaurav Laghate, Sorrell said he's ready for his third innings with S4 Capital and is looking at acquisition opportunities for India entry. Sorrell turns 74 on February 14 next year, but says he is excited about starting with a clean slate and has nothing to lose. For his India entry, Sorrell is going to follow the same path he used to build WPP -- acquisitions -- at the age of 40 after leaving advertising firm Saatchi & Saatchi.
Q. What do you think of the JWT-Wunderman merger?
Well in a funny way I was thinking about it coming in the plane. When I think about Wunderman in the context of India, it's not significant, while JWT has very significant operation here. So in a way, and I will probably be chastised for saying that, but Wundermun would be like pinning the tail on the donkey here.
The same thing would be true VML and Y&R. I don't think either of those moves has affected India as much. If it was me, I would have called it Y&RVML.
That's also true about JWT and Wunderman and I know what they were trying to do. I think they were trying to signify digital first, which is wholly acceptable and the right thing to do. But these are delicate flowers that you don't want to lose. You don't throw out the baby with the bathwater and I think you know here in India is an interesting example. JWT is a very prominent company in India and you wouldn't call it Wunderman Thompson. To my mind, that doesn't make sense in the Indian context.
Q. You think it's not a good idea to merge the two?
It might be a good idea or it might turn out to be a very bad idea. It might be de-motivating to people and to the clients. The general direction is to try and get the right people. They shouldn't have had the necessity to do it (merger). The people at JWT, if they did not have the digital talents and abilities, they should have been able to tap into those -- in theory -- at Wunderman.
The old model of market share growth with differential brands is probably now being put in the corner. And what's fundamental now is putting digital first. That's what they're trying to do.
Q. How will S4 Capital be different?
With S4 Capital, we don't know anything else. We start from the digital corner or the digital base and that's where we're going to put all our focus. We're starting in three areas -- content, data, and programmatic. Those we think are key things that make up what's happening in the marketplace.
In the Indian context with the growth of smaller agencies, there are either people who left bigger agencies or started the digital operations from scratch. Currently, it's a smaller part of the market, but in a few years' time, it will be the dominant force at a point in time -- it is likely that digital surpasses most of the other traditional media.
Q. So are you ready for India entry, again?
India is a very important market. Here WPP has a 50% market share and it is an awesome company, right now run by a country manager which is probably the model that we were trying to get to when I was at WPP. Whenever I used to come here, I said if all our business would run like India, I could retire.
Well, I haven't decided to retire, but to be fair, the model here in India is probably the model that that WPP should pursue in the world.
Coming back to my third innings, India is a very interesting market from a global development point of view and a long range point of view, so S4 Capital has to be in India. The question for us is, given the market structure, how do we enter the market?
The obvious way is that we could make small acquisitions here in the areas that we are in -- content, data and digital. I mean companies here tend to be on the smaller scale, so entry through acquisition is a possibility. Then maybe some interesting people who perhaps are looking at pastures new.
Q. How is the response from companies and people to your new venture here?
We're thinking about the industry in a new and contemporary way, which I think they are starting to think about in India. When I talk to people here, they are looking for new models, which focus around content, programmatic, media planning and buying and around first party data.
Already there is a lot of inbound interest and we have been talking to people here. I think fairly shortly I will have something to say on that. There are a lot of very good people here, who are probably underrated. And maybe now with Piyush (Pandey) being made worldwide creative director at Ogilvy, everybody will turn their attention to India.
Q. By when do you plan to start here?
As soon as possible, and we will soon have an India head.

U.K. 2013
Directed by: Richard Shepard
Writing credits: Richard Shepard
Principal actors: Jude Law, Richard E. Grant, Demian Bichir, Luca Franzoni, Richard Graham
Jude Law obviously had much fun portraying Dom Hemingway, a safe-cracker who has spent 12 years in prison. The film opens with him obviously naked, although we only see him from the top up. He is in deep concentration, reciting a soliloquy which would do Shakespeare proud: a five-minute "Ode to his own Penis." Here soliloquies seem to be a form of announcing a change in the action. In this case, Dom learns shortly afterwards that his prison term has come to an end; he will be released. Once free he confronts Sandy Butterfeld, the man who cavorted with his wife, until she died of cancer, while he languished behind bars. That done he meets up with his former partner, Dickie. Together they visit Mr. Fontaine in his luxurious French villa, a place that "looks like a whorehouse belonging to Elton John." Mr. Fontaine surely owes him a pile of money. After all, Hemingway never once squealed on his former boss.
This relatively short film (nowadays anything under two hours is short) portrays Hemingway as he comes close to the money owed him, is fascinated by Fontaine's mysterious girlfriend, causes a car wreck with six people (preceded by another soliloquy), saves a life, visits his wife's grave (which involves a soliloquy), and tries to make amends with his unforgiving daughter. The plot is relatively simple, almost fairy tale format. The charm comes from Jude Law as he bumbles through his new life, trying to find foot in the real world. This is an excellent chance to see talented actors, breathing life into mundane characters, whom you normally wouldn't notice if you met them in any other way, e.g., Richard E. Grant as Dickie or gorgeous Madalina Diana Ghenea as Paolina or Jumayn Hunter as Lestor (who still wants revenge for the death of his tom cat Bernard). They more than fill the screen with their charismatic performances. The photography of location sites in France and London is excellent, too. Each shot is perfect – something you could frame and hang on your wall. And Emilie Clarke, who plays his daughter, really does sing "Fisherman's Blues" in the night club. I had to watch the film in German, but would love to see it again in English, especially the first five minutes! (Becky Tan)


Bowling was front and center throughout an exciting week of events at newly renovated Richmond Raceway. For seven full days, Go Bowling and the PWBA Tour provided incredible bowling experiences to racing (and bowling) fans in attendance.
During the first half of the week, the PWBA Tour Championship was staged and featured the world's best women bowlers. Later in the week, Go Bowling served as the entitlement sponsor of the NASCAR Xfinity Go Bowling 250. Both events were broadcast live to a combined TV viewing audience of over 160 million households.
From Sept. 16-19, the PWBA Tour took over the Old Dominion Building, staging a three-day tournament to crown the 2018 PWBA Tour Champion. On Sept. 19th in front of a national television audience broadcast LIVE on CBS Sports Network, Maria Jose Rodriguez defeated Kelly Kulick 236-228 to claim the Tour Championship.
After the PWBA Tour Champion was crowned, Go Bowling and QubicaAMF converted the championship lanes into an interactive Go Bowling fan experience for fans attending the Go Bowling 250 and the Federated Auto Parts 400 for two days of free bowling fun.
As fans awaited the races each night, they were treated to appearances by racing legend Tony Stewart, Go Bowling driver Cole Custer and NBC personality Rutledge Wood who stopped by the lanes to meet and bowl with the PWBA stars and also bowl a few frames with fans!
Friday night, the Go Bowling 250 Xfinity race was staged and featured Stewart-Haas driver Cole Custer in the No. 00 Go Bowling Ford Mustang. Custer finished 15th in the race as he continued his push in the NASCAR Xfinity Playoffs.
PWBA Tour Champion Maria Rodriguez was honored as the grand marshal of the race along with fellow PWBA stars Shannon O'Keefe, Liz Kuhlkin and Bryanna Cote.
To cap off a great week of bowling and racing, Go Bowling and Richmond Raceway hosted military veterans and hospitality guests for more free bowling on Saturday before the Federated Auto Parts 400, the first.

Q: How to dump only a certain part of SVN repository? How to you move a part of an SVN repository into a new repository?
To move the contents of a complete SVN repository into a new repository, one has to dump the old repository first:
svnadmin dump /path/to/repository > repository-name.dmp

and then load it into the new one using svnadmin load.
But I'm not sure how to just move a part. Do I still have to dump the whole thing? Do I grep for the part that I want?
To just dump myproject, I tried this, but it didn't work:
svnadmin dump /path/to/repository/myproject

A: If your repository is hosted at an URL you can use svnrdump to dump a sub-folder of the repository:
svnrdump dump http://svn.example.com/repos/[.../]project

where repos is the root of the repository and project is the sub-folder that you want to dump.

A: You need to use svndumpfilter for stuff like this.  In particular svndumpfilter include.  So for your case:
svndumpfilter include myproject < repository-name.dmp > myproject.dmp

"Among the Living" Streaming Review (Shudder)
In the grisly third feature from Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury (the duo behind French carnage breakout INSIDE), three boys skip school to wander around an abandoned film studio. Bad move. The trio soon stumble upon a horrific vision: a woman in chains being dragged by a man in a clown mask. Evil Bozo catches a glimpse of the boys, who try to run away. But, before they can escape, they see something hidden for years - which they were not meant to see. That night someone breaks into their homes, seeking to eliminate them…one after another. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE. Contains violence and gore.
Cast: Anne Marivin, Theo Fernandez, Francis Renaud

"The Nightmare" Streaming Review (Shudder)
After a party where Tina watches a gruesome video on her friend's phone, she begins to experience nasty nightmares. That would be bad enough, but then she begins to be haunted by a monster who nobody else can see. After her therapist suggests talking to the monster, Tina resists, then eventually relents. And that's when things get even weirder. Is she losing her mind? Or is everyone else crazy? Or perhaps Tina's trapped in a nightmare? German director Akiz's first film in a planned trilogy offers no easy answers, but that's part of the ferocious fun of this stylish and surreal Euro-horror head trip.
Cast: Carolyn Genzkow, Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht, Alexander Scheer, Kim Gordon, Sina Tkotsch

"The Living Dead Girl" Streaming (Shudder)
After crooks spill toxic waste on a grave, a bloodthirsty female zombie arises and begins feasting on anyone who crosses her path. After a few gruesome slayings, the undead Catherine remembers her old life, and her best friend (and possible lover) Helene. Catherine tracks down Helene, who ruthlessly begins luring victims to her home in order to keep her dear friend alive. French horror auteur Jean Rollin's most successful - and goriest - film is an emotionally wrenching masterpiece that brilliantly queers both the vampire and zombie subgenres.
Cast: Marina Pierro, Françoise Blanchard

The Weekly Western "Cut-Throats Nine" Blu-Ray Review (Code Red)
A band of cut-throat chain gang prisoners are chained together and on the loose as they play cat and mouse with each other in this violent Spanish gritty thriller. Greed and Gold is the name of the game in their 1972 box office flop that gained a cult following. Distributor Seafirm Kalalexis picked up the film several years later, re-shot gory violence as a gimmick to bring in the audience at 42nd Street with a Cardboard mask given to the paying attendance to wear to avoid watching the violent scene when it happens. The gimmick was a failure, but thanks to today's youth audience the film now gain a cult following thanks to Kalalexis added scene. Code Red and Seafirm Kalalexis is proud to bring you for the first time the gory classic out authorized in USA!

Q: How to copy records from sys.event_log in Azure SQL Database to a user-defined table in another database In our workplace, I do not have access to the master database.
I want to track "failed connections" and "deadlocks" So I decided to use sys.event_log.
How can I make a copy of the contents of this view to my database, and then monitor the Database status from there?
FYI: I suppose that I will take the access to make a copy of the data, somehow.
If there is another solution, without permission to master, please provide me.
Regards,

A: We must need the permission to query the sys.event_log table in master db :
Users with permission to access the master database have read-only access to this view.
The data in sys.event_log are dynamic growth. If we make a copy of the data, we still need access it first. Maybe you could ask Server admin to help you do that. Such as create extra source/table. Create a new table and copy data from the sys.event_log in the user database. Then you could access the copy table of the sys.event_log. The limit is that the data won't update in time.
I'm afraid we can not access the it without permission to master.

Are there any plants that bring good luck?
Patricia Hedges
Plants are multifunctional; they are not only stylish design elements that may encourage excellent circulation in the space, but professionals can also utilize them to bring good fortune to the occupants of the house. It's one of the final jigsaw pieces in making a lovely place to live, a step that may bind the entire residence's ambience together.
There are several lucky plants according to Chinese tradition. The plant known as peony brings good luck to its owners because of its beautiful pink or white flowers which resemble the shape of money. Also considered lucky is the bamboo since it provides shelter from wind and rain. As for plants that bring bad luck, carnivorous plants such as Nepenthes and Drosophyllum bring misfortune because they kill insects that other plants need to survive. However, these plants have beneficial effects too since they play an important role in removing pollutants from the atmosphere.
Lucky plants should be kept inside the home for protection from danger and damage from animals or weather conditions. However, if you want to share your good luck with others, you can send them gifts made from plants such as potted peonies or baskets full of bamboo shoots.

7 plants that bring ill luck to your home, according to Feng Shui! A residence created according to Vaastu science is said to bring happiness and joy into one's life. Similarly, if the plants in your home are not Vaastu compliant, it may have a negative impact on your life. The following are the most common plants that cause problems for those who don't know their way around a Vaastu chart.
1. Kola tree - This tree is said to bring misfortune to anyone who cuts it down. It must be planted with its root facing east.
2. Banyan tree - Similar to the kola tree, this also brings bad luck on anyone who tries to cut it down. It must be planted with its trunk facing north.
3. Peonia - This plant is poisonous to animals and will cause damage to any property it is placed in. It should not be grown inside homes.
4. Hibiscus - If you find hibiscus flowers in your garden, it means that someone nearby will die soon. You should not move your house if this flower bed is part of the plot.
5. Jackfruit - This fruit has sharp thorns that can hurt people when they fall from the tree. It is recommended that you do not grow this plant inside your home.
Plants that Bring Good Luck, Prosperity, and Fortune according to Feng Shui (Lucky Plants) That is why some "lucky plants" are referred to as "money trees" or "money plants." Other plants considered lucky by Feng Shui include lucky bamboo, rubber plants, orchids, and various types of indoor ferns and palms.
Feng shui is the art of placement and design. The position of your house holds much power over you and your family. By understanding this energy we can take advantage of it and create healthful environments for ourselves. Lucky plants help provide protection from negative energies and invite good luck instead.
There are many different types of ferns and palms in the world, each with their own unique qualities and characteristics. But above all else, they all share one common trait: they are all healthy plants that enjoy living in water. This is because water is vital to their survival. Without water, they would not be able to absorb the nutrients required for growth and reproduction.
Ferns are members of the botanical family Polypodiaceae. There are about 250 species of ferns found worldwide, most of which are native to tropical regions. Although not usually regarded as attractive plants, they have been used for decorative purposes since ancient times. Ferns are known to bring good fortune because they offer protection against evil spirits. They also act as a substitute for money when trying to buy food or avoid being robbed.
Plants associated with Feng Shui are supposed to provide wealth, fortune, love, and luck. That is why some "lucky plants" are referred to as "money trees" or "money plants."
The concept of a lucky plant comes from Chinese culture. In China, people believe that planting these plants will bring them good fortune. Today, the practice has been adopted by many Americans who seek out living room decor and holiday gifts that display this trait.
Lucky plants have different properties as far as their growth habit, shape, and size are concerned. Some are flowering plants while others are not. Some grow in water while others like soil or rock. However, all lucky plants have one thing in common: they must be kept alive with care and attention given every day.
If you want to become rich, marry a rich woman. If you want to attract money, buy a lucky plant. These are just two of the many theories about what it takes to make something lucky. No matter which theory you choose to believe, one thing is for sure: lucky plants are everywhere around us!
The money tree is one of the most well-known fortunate indoor plants. According to feng shui experts, it promotes fortune, prosperity, and money. It's also not a good idea to plant the money tree in your bathroom, since experts believe it would drain or flush the positive energy away. The money tree thrives in bright, indirect light. Water it regularly until the soil is dry again.
Plants in general bring good Feng Shui into your home. Cacti, on the other hand, are a little more particular. There's no doubting that they're lovely plants with a lot of protecting energy. That is why, according to Feng Shui, the placement of cactus is critical. It should be placed in a quiet area where it will not be disturbed by noise or traffic sounds.
Cacti are known as "good luck" plants because they appear before important events such as exams or interviews. This belief comes from ancient Mexican culture where planting them was considered an omen that would help predict future success. Today, this idea has been adopted by people all over the world who have discovered its true meaning and benefits.
The cactus' green color represents wisdom and knowledge. White cacti show that you are willing to expose yourself to new ideas and experiences. Pink cacti indicate love and romance. Blue cacti represent faith and hope, while red ones show power and strength. Finally, yellow cacti mean good fortune.
Besides being beautiful, cacti are also useful plants that provide food, water, and air quality for animals and humans. They also add texture and color to homes. For these reasons, it is important to include them in gardens to enhance the overall feel of the space.

The PCS basketball season has wrapped up in good fashion.
Our girls team fought their way into the playoffs, only to lose a heart breaker in overtime of the opening round at Oregon Episcopal School. With the power of this line up all returning next year, great things are in store for the 2018-19 season.
Our boys team delivered a solid season, and were a fun group to watch. Although they fell short of the playoffs, many of our athletes enjoyed a season filled with thrills and improvement. We have so many reasons to be thankful. Our JV team enjoyed their best season in a long time. We look forward to seeing their contribution in seasons to come.
Junior High basketball just finished up as well. Our girls were a young and small squad, but played some pretty fierce hoops, and held their own in the Metro Christian League. The boys made it to the MCL playoffs, but lost by just 3 in the first round at Catlin Gabel.
All in all, we had a competitive season, and our Royals represented Portland Christian well by glorifying God in their efforts.

Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration (GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Final rule.
DoD, GSA, and NASA are issuing a final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require additional actions by contractors to assist contracting officers in ensuring compliance with the Governmentwide statutory prohibition on the use of appropriated (or otherwise made available) funds for contracts with any foreign incorporated entity that is an inverted domestic corporation or to any subsidiary of such entity.
Mr. Michael O. Jackson, Procurement Analyst, at 202-208-4949, for clarification of content. For information pertaining to status or publication schedules, contact the Regulatory Secretariat at 202-501-4755. Please cite FAC 2005-83, FAR Case 2015-006.
DoD, GSA, and NASA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register at 79 FR 74558 on December 15, 2014, to revise the provisions of the FAR that address the continuing Governmentwide statutory prohibition (in effect since fiscal year 2008) on the use of appropriated (or otherwise made available) funds for contracts with any foreign incorporated entity that is an inverted domestic corporation (under section 835 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, codified at 6 U.S.C. 395) or any subsidiary of such entity. The rule modifies the existing representation and adds a requirement to notify the contracting officer if the contractor becomes an inverted domestic corporation, or a subsidiary of an inverted domestic corporation, during performance of the contract.
One respondent submitted a comment in response to the proposed rule.
The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (the Councils) reviewed the comments in the development of the final rule. A discussion of the comments is provided as follows:
There is no change from the proposed rule in response to the public comment received.
Comment: The respondent stated that a particular contract is in violation of Federal law, because the contractor merged with a corporation outside the United States.
Response: The Councils are not enforcement agencies, and are not in a position to assess whether the merger of two companies resulted in an entity that meets all the criteria in the applicable definition of "inverted domestic corporation." This comment does not address the substance of the proposed rule, which proposed to require additional actions by contractors to assist contracting officers in ensuring compliance with the Governmentwide statutory prohibition on the use of appropriated (or otherwise made available) funds for contracts with any foreign incorporated entity that is an inverted domestic corporation (under 6 U.S.C. 395) or to any subsidiary of such entity. Contractors with the modified clause in their contracts will be required to make a positive representation with the offer as to their status as an inverted domestic corporation, and notify the contracting officer if they become an inverted domestic corporation during contract performance, as defined in the statute. The contracting activity will take appropriate action if the contractor notifies the Government in accordance with the clause that it has become an inverted domestic corporation, or if investigation by the appropriate Government agency determines that the contractor became an inverted domestic corporation during contract performance and failed to notify the Government of its change in status.
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
DoD, GSA, and NASA certify that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because this rule will only impact an offeror that is an inverted domestic corporation or a subsidiary of an inverted domestic corporation and wants to do business with the Government. It is expected that the number of small entities impacted by this rule will be minimal. Small business concerns are unlikely to have been incorporated in the United States (or, if a partnership, established in the United States) and then subsequently incorporated in a foreign country; the major participants in these transactions are reportedly large multinational corporations. For the definition of "small business", the Regulatory Flexibility Act refers to the Small Business Act, which in turn allows the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator to specify detailed definitions or standards (5 U.S.C. 601(3) and 15 U.S.C. 632(a)). The SBA regulations at 13 CFR 121.105 discuss who is a small business: "(a)(1) Except for small agricultural cooperatives, a business concern eligible for assistance from SBA as a small business is a business entity organized for profit, with a place of business located in the United States, and which operates primarily within the United States or which makes a significant contribution to the U.S. economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, materials or labor".
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) applies. The rule contains information collection requirements. OMB has cleared this information collection requirement under OMB Control Number 9000-0190, Start Printed Page 38307titled: Prohibition on Contracting with Inverted Domestic Corporations—Representation and Notification.

MAN ES Promises 'Future-Proof' Ammonia Retrofit Package
By Jack Burke22 September 2020
As it moves to "future-proof" its portfolio, MAN Energy Solutions said it will have an ammonia retrofit package by 2025.
"We are working to have a package ready for retrofits by early 2025, approximately one year after the first ammonia engine is delivered to the yard," said Brian Østergaard Sørensen, vice president, head of R&D Two-Stroke Business.
MAN Energy Solutions expects to offer retrofit conversion of two-stroke engines to use Ammonia (NH3) as fuel, preferable meeting vessels 5-year docking schedules, after the first quarter of 2025. Ammonia can be burned in an engine without producing any CO2 or carbon and may be stored either as a liquid at -34C or at normal temperatures under around 10 bar pressure.
Still, a lot of work must be done before the engines are ready for the market, he said.
"We are confident that we can get ammonia to combust for us," he said. "That is not the main area of concern… keeping safety in check remembering that ammonia is toxic and it has a very strong smell and we need to do things a little differently than what we have done in some of our other engine platforms."
To that end, the company will be studying ammonia's emissions profile through 2022, aim for full-scale engine development in 2023 and delivering the first engines to shipyards in 2024.
Challenges include ammonia slip and the formation of NOX and especially the formation of nitrous oxide (N20), which is considered to be 300 times more potent than CO2.
"Those two categories of emissions (ammonia slip and NOX) we are confident can be dealt with by abatement technologies already available today, whereas N20 formation will have to be dealt with in case that comes up," he said. "Today we are dealing with (N20) in the chemical industry, but it requires quite high exhaust temperatures and higher temperatures than what we have available today. So our focus in the development will basically be on not having N20 formation, but this will have to be investigated."
Sørensen acknowledged that regulatory obstacles, ammonia price and availability, as well as infrastructure, were challenges to the introduction of ammonia engines.
"We are not so concerned about the technology onboard—we are confident we can solve that," he said. It's on the supply side, making ammonia available in the right quantities at the right price and in the right locations; that would require significant more investments than you would see on the vessel side."
Existing regulations governing the transportation of toxic products would need to be also updated to permit the use of ammonia, Sørensen said. On the other hand, ammonia is already a known quantity in the shipping industry because it is already transported.
The ammonia engine will use the architecture of the MAN B&W ME-LGIP engine.
Retrofit solution
The retrofit solution is intended to meet the demand for low-carbon solutions to meet the targets set by IMO and some shipowners. Meeting such targets will require solutions to be developed for existing ships, Sørensen noted.
"So along with the development of an ammonia engine, we will be looking at into a retrofit package, because if we want to meet the ambitious goals of IMO, we do not believe that you can only look at new vessels," he said.
The upgrade package will be aimed at MAN ES' existing ME-C, ME-LGIP and ME-LGI engines, and will draw on MAN ES' existing modular engine design philosophy. "We want to retain the modules and architecture of existing engine platforms as far as possible, only touching on the components needed."
The advantages of such a modular approach include improved efficiency and a reduction in cost, Sørensen noted.
"So we will actually be taking that experience and build it into, into the retrofit package for ammonia, making sure that we use modular concepts, wherever it's possible to make the installation as easy as possible and maybe reduce time at the shipyard," he said.
Similar retrofit packages were already available or under development for MAN ES' other dual-fuel solutions. He said there is lot of interchangeability between the different platforms so retrofitting isn't a difficult challenge.
"Basically we want to make sure you're not ended up with a stranded asset if regulations should come into play or if other external factors should change, then we want to make sure that you can actually switch and retrofit for new types of fuel, so basically future-proofing your investment."
