R-Biopharm receives CTDA approval of COVID-19 test in the UK
R-Biopharm, an international specialist in clinical diagnostics, announces that the company's RIDA®GENE Flu & SARS-CoV-2 multiplex test (PG6825) has been approved in the UK under the UK Health Security Agency's Medical Devices CTDA Regulations 2021.
R-Biopharm will now work to resume the sale of the product in the UK. RIDA®GENE Flu & SARS-CoV-2 test is a multiplex real-time RT-PCR for the direct qualitative detection and differentiation of Flu A/Flu B and coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in human nasal/throat swabs from persons with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection.
It is intended for professional use; for example, in hospital laboratories, reference laboratories, private laboratories, or public laboratories. The RIDA®GENE Flu & SARS-CoV-2 multiplex test targets the M gene/NP1 gene of the virus for Influenza A/B, and the E gene and RdRp gene in all currently known variants and mutations of the COVID-19 virus.
Only validated products, or products on the temporary protocol, can be sold in the UK after 31 October 2021. Jason Baggaley, Sales Manager of R-Biopharm for Great Britain, commented: "We are proud that our RIDA®GENE Flu & SARS-CoV-2 test was approved and added to the Coronavirus Test Device Approvals (CTDA) register, and our customers will continue to be able to distinguish between the flu and an infection with the coronavirus.

Scientists discover new prehistoric beast after century-old remains finally examined
Tariq Tahir for MetroMonday 28 Jan 2013 4:00 am

A prehistoric beast whose remains had been sitting neglected in a museum for more than a century is a previously unknown species, researchers have found.
The 165million-year-old ocean predator was distantly related to modern crocodiles with gaping jaws and sharp teeth.
It has been named Tyrannoneustes lythrodectikos – 'blood-biting tyrant swimmer'.
The animal's skeleton had not been closely studied after it was found in a clay pit near Peterborough and taken to the University of Glasgow's Hunterarian Museum.
It is a missing link between marine crocodiles which ate small prey and killer whale-like hunters.
'It is satisfying to be able to classify a specimen that has been unexamined for more than 100 years, and doubly so to find that this discovery improves our understanding of marine reptiles' evolution,' said Dr Mark Young of the University of Edinburgh, which led the study.

Take responsibility for your health and wellbeing through personalized coaching.
I believe true health is more than a number on a scale, what you eat, or how many push-ups you do. True holistic health is how you feel in the morning when you wake up. It's the quality of your relationships, your attitude, and zest for life. It's a daily journey you embark on because you know you're worth it.
My greatest pleasure and mission is supporting and coaching people to do just that. People just like you, who are hungry for more in their lives.
You cannot be truthful if you are not courageous. You cannot be loving if you are not courageous. You cannot be trusting if you are not courageous. You cannot inquire into reality if you are not courageous. Hence courage comes first and everything else follows.
Working with Arnold is the best thing I have ever done for my health and wellbeing. He is a highly talented and knowledgeable coach with many strings to his bow. He's a great listener, he's compassionate, he's a brilliant communicator, and he's extremely motivating.
Thanks to working with Arnold, I gained knowledge and clarity about my values, my driving desires, and my capacities. The personalized system Arnold designs is a excellent combination of guided reflections on one hand, and exercises and daily challenges on the other, which makes you feel capable of achieving anything.
I am happy to say that thanks to working with Arnold, I feel 10 years younger, full of vitality, I have no pain, and I sleep well! Plus, so far I've lost over 12kg. Working with Arnold has changed my life and health for the better. To this day, I continue to follow his guidance, and am so grateful for this new lifestyle.
I believe Arnold helped accelerate my growth as a teacher, a yoga practitioner, a musician, and a human being. Through his excellent listening skills, his encouragement, patience, and determination, he inspires me to have the courage to set my goals and to make them happen.
Arnold helped me to search deep inside and clear out my insecurities and societal conditioning, and to find what was holding me back. He is bold, courageous, and serious about his mission, and I would recommend him to anyone that is longing to break free and express his or herself openly and honestly in this world.
Arnold was able to help me work toward these goals by suggesting a lot of ways to improve my diet, and lifestyle. Arnold was also able to offer useful recommendations for me to improve my quality of sleep, and how to get the rest I needed. Working with Arnold I also realized how important it is for me to take some time for myself.
Arnold was able to provide me with simple and effective tools and tips for increasing my income, my efficiency, and also for reducing stress. His program allowed me not only to clarify and get closer to my goals, but also to move more boldly towards what I truly want in life.
Working with Arnold has undoubtedly helped me gain confidence, and become aware of the impact of diet on my health. He would cheer me up and encouraged me when I had moments of weakness. Arnold was like a comforting, compassionate, and benevolent friend, but also strict!
Arnold is very understanding, motivating and a great listener. He explains things clearly and he bases his advice on scientific studies which is very important to me. Now, I feel very healthy – I have lost 10 kg, I have much more energy and enthusiasm, and I feel confident with my nutrition and feeding my kids optimally.
While coaching with Arnold, I lost the weight I wanted to fairly easily, and most importantly, the weight stayed off. This has also really boosted my energy. I appreciated his approach and advice in areas as diverse as decluttering and personal relationships. I had no idea that a coach could help me in these areas, and yet he did.

In 1963, the Minister of State for Cultural Affairs in France, writer André Malraux (4th in the photo) visited Quebec. His friend, Georges-Émile Lapalme, Minister of Cultural Affairs for Quebec (2nd in the photo), is at his side. The man between the two men in the photo is Jean Drapeau, Mayor of Montréal
The creation of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs in 1961, the work of Georges-Émile Lapalme.He is giving a speech in front of works of art
Georges-Émile Lapalme, Liberal Party leader from 1950 to 1958, the lead architect of the Liberal Party program during the elections of 1960. Holding a young girl in his arms, he is surrounded by party militants
A Precursor and Philosopher of the Quiet Revolution
"[...] Lapalme, the public man, was a catalyst of the Quiet Revolution, ploughing deeply though the political soil of Quebec and guiding the sowing season" (translation).
Paul Gérin-Lajoie, "Georges-Émile Lapalme, tel que je l'ai connu" in Jean-François Léonard, dir., Georges-Émile Lapalme, Sillery, Les Presses de l'Université du Québec, 1988, p. 28.
A Mastermind of the Quiet Revolution
Many are those whose actions, positions, writings and artistic activities cleared the path and prepared the way for the Quiet Revolution. Georges-Émile Lapalme, Leader of the Liberal Party of Quebec from 1950 to 1958, was among them. He must be considered as one of the architects of the Liberal Party victory in 1960, since he was the author of the Party's political program. The program was an abridged version of a document entitled Pour une politique : Mémoire à quelques personnes that Lapalme wrote in 1959 after his departure as leader of the Liberal Party. Lapalme referred to reflections on resolutions adopted by the party during its convention and work by his political committee for inspiration in the preparation of the document. Merely twenty or so copies of this document circulated among Liberal Party authorities.
The New Ideas of a Philosopher
The ideas set forth in Pour une politique were very progressive. First, Lapalme advocated a revision of the Elections Act – the only means to eliminate certain electoral practices – and a revised electoral map as well as a reform of party financing, a measure that the Parti québécois would implement once in power in the 1970s. Lapalme then proposed myriad reforms that would transform Quebec: promotion of the French language and culture, the need to make education free at all levels, the expansion of Hydro-Québec and control of the distribution of electricity and, finally, positioning the State in a central role, particularly in economic issues. Pour une politique was a source of inspiration for several people. Reading this document convinced René Lévesque to enter the political arena in 1960.

"Finished" is a science fiction short story  by American writer L. Sprague de Camp, part of his Viagens Interplanetarias series. It was first published in the magazine Astounding Science Fiction in the issue for November, 1949. It first appeared in book form in the collection The Continent Makers and Other Tales of the Viagens, published in hardcover by Twayne Publishers in 1953 and in paperback by Signet Books in November, 1971.

Plot summary
An interplanetary conference between Viagens officials of the Tau Ceti system being held in Novorecife on the planet Krishna is interrupted by an unusual situation in customs; Ahmad Akelawi, a Terran visitor to Krishna is attempting to take a native mummy to Earth. Cristôvão Abreu, the local security chief, excuses himself to investigate. The mummy, that of the first and (for complicated legal reasons) only king of the island nation of Sotaspé, appears to be a legitimate purchase, and so is allowed through customs.

Subsequently, Ferrian bad-Arjanaq, the reigning prince regent of Sotaspé, shows up claiming the mummy was stolen and the sale fraudulent. To avoid a diplomatic incident, Abreu allows Ferrian to take the next interstellar vessel to Earth to recover the mummy. Since the relatively primitive Krishna is under an embargo to prevent its tumultuous cultures and political systems from being disrupted by advanced Terran technology, he sends along assistant security officer Herculeu Castanhoso to prevent Ferrian from inquiring into matters he shouldn't.

Many years elapse on Krishna before the travelers return with the mummy, though for them, due to the relativistic speeds at which interstellar voyages take place, much less time has passed. Ferrian is sent on his way to his island. Then Abreu learns that a most peculiar ship has rendezvoused with the prince to convey him to Sotaspé—a steamship!

Realizing that somehow Sotaspé has been acquiring forbidden technology, Abreu and Castanhoso set out in pursuit, hiring a swift smuggling ship to overtake Ferrian's craft. Catching it off the island of Darya, their crew overwhelms the prince's in a pitched sea battle, and the prince himself is seemingly lost overboard. The steamship is scuttled, and the mummy, discovered to contain smuggled scientific texts, is also destroyed. The two return to Novorecife smugly convinced that the most egregious attempt ever to break the blockade is "finished."

Meanwhile, Ferrian, who has survived, returns to his kingdom and reassumes its governance. Having been allowed to study Terran law on his trip to Earth to distract him from technological espionage, he is full of ideas for reforming Sotaspé. He institutes a patent law to foster Krishnan invention, and is soon awarding his first patent to the inventor of a native aircraft. At the ceremony, he announces that the Terran plot to keep Krishna backward and in the dark is "finished."

Abreu, Castanhoso and Ferrian all appear as secondary characters in a number of later "Krishna" stories.

Background
This story was written for the "time travel" or "prophecy" issue of Astounding Science Fiction. The issue was prompted by a letter from a reader (Richard A Hoen of the University Club in Buffalo, New York) commenting on the stories in an issue, referring to the stories by author and title, and offering his respective praise and derision for those works. The magazine frequently received letters of this kind; however, in this case, the reader described an issue whose cover date was more than a year away, November, 1949. Editor John W. Campbell printed the letter in the November, 1948 issue, then set about making the predictions come true by arranging with the authors mentioned to write and submit stories with the given titles.

The planet Krishna is de Camp's premier creation in the Sword and Planet genre, representing both a tribute to the Barsoom novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs and an attempt to "get it right", reconstructing the concept logically, without what he regarded as Burroughs' biological and technological absurdities.

As dated in The Continent Makers and Other Tales of the Viagens, the 1959 version of de Camp's essay "The Krishna Stories," and James Cambias's GURPS Planet Krishna (a 1997 gaming guide to the Viagens series authorized by de Camp), the two segments of the action of "Finished" take place in the years 2114 and 2140 AD, respectively, making it both the first and fifth stories set on Krishna in terms of chronology. "Perpetual Motion," The Queen of Zamba and "Calories" take place between the two segments, and The Hand of Zei follows the second.

Earlier events on Krishna are told in the form of back story in "The Colorful Character," the main action of which, according to de Camp's essay, takes place on Earth in the year 2117 AD. The Krishnan events related in the story take place about ten years earlier, or around 2107 AD.

NASCAR's fastest short track has gotten even faster. That should make for a wild race on Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway. The famous half-mile bull ring with coliseum-style seating is always an iconic event that delivers excitement. This makes the second of NASCAR's brief short-track swing, with Martinsville two weeks ago starting it off and Richmond International Raceway next weekend.
Chase Elliott set the official track record on Friday with a lap averaging 131.713 miles per hour. Ryan Blaney went even faster than that in Round 2, but since it was not the final round, it was not an official posted time. Either way, the new aero package has added speed, and therefore a new wrinkle, to this already treacherous track.
For DFS strategy, with another 500-lap race, we will once again want to target a dominant lap leader like we did two weeks ago at Martinsville. Brad Keselowski did just that in the Martinsville race, leading 424 of 500 laps at fairly low ownership, so identifying that dominator driver this week is the way to gain a massive edge.
Here at numberFire, we've always got you covered for everything NASCAR DFS. Our track preview gives you more information about Bristol Motor Speedway, our driver preview helps bring you up to speed on recent driver history, and our Heat Check Podcast with Jim Sannes gives you insight to how he is approaching this weekend's slate.
With the starting lineup set and the first, second, and third practices all completed, let's sift through the field of the Food City 500.
Kyle Busch ($15,000): Kyle Busch dominates the fantasy conversation at Bristol. He's won here seven times in his career, with the most recent coming from the pole in this race one year ago. On top of that, he has led at least 100 laps in eight different Bristol races, not all of which were in his wins, so Busch usually finds the front here. As an added bonus, Busch paced the 10-lap average charts in final practice. From anywhere in the field, you would want to consider Busch, even at this gaudy price tag, but starting 17th with very reasonable pass-differential upside, Busch will justifiably be a cornerstone of many lineups on Sunday.
Kevin Harvick ($14,300): Past Busch, we could be searching for this weekend's "Brad Keselowski at Martinsville." As mentioned, Keselowski dominated the field two weeks ago while posting no really fast speeds in practice -- so no one had any indicator what was coming, and he was relatively low-owned. The only indication would have been a super solid track history, and using that formula, we can look to Kevin Harvick. Even while finding mid-race trouble at this track last August, he still rattled off his seventh straight top-10 at Bristol, and he won one of those back in August 2016. By his standards, Harvick is off to a slow start this season, but at one of his most consistent race tracks, Harvick could jumpstart his season on Sunday.
Personally, it feels like an opportunity to gain an advantage on the field by limiting your shares of Kyle Larson ($13,000). Larson has an outstanding track history, but current form might overrule that. He has struggled mightily to find anything close to race-winning speed this year under the new aero package, and he has shown similar sluggish results in practice this weekend. Starting 16th, the potential of place-differential upside exists for Larson at one of his best tracks, which could make him extremely popular, but until the 42-car shows more signs of speed, it may be wise to stay away at such a hefty price tag, especially in small-field contests.
Ryan Blaney ($11,400): Those high-priced options are nice, but Ryan Blaney checks as many boxes as anyone. Blaney was dominating this race a year ago before a horribly unlucky crash with lap traffic. He won Stage 1 and led 121 laps in the fall race, and, as mentioned early on, actually has the fastest lap in qualifying history at BMS, but it just did not count as the official track record since it was not in the final round. Also, Blaney's car may have something in it for the long haul, posting top-five numbers in both 10-lap average charts on Saturday. Blaney will look to find the front quickly and stay there -- just as Keselowski, his Penske teammate, did at Martinsville. Blaney and Kyle Busch are, for my money, are the top two guys to build around.
Kurt Busch ($11,500): Busch won the fall race in 2018 at Bristol to officially lock up his playoff spot, and even though many wins of his wins here were before Bristol's reconfiguration, he now has five checkered flags to his name in Thunder Valley. This is strictly a place-differential play as Busch's speed has been just OK, posting only 17th in the final 10-lap average in practice. However, starting 27th, he could quickly move forward at a track he knows well. He has finished outside the top-12 only once this season, and if he continues that, he'll rack up a bunch of fantasy points. He will not come cheap, but he is affordable enough to pair with Kyle Busch and Blaney and still carve out a reasonable lineup.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr ($9,000): The next two drivers seem to have a pep in their step when Bristol week hits the calendar. In a career that's been anything but steady, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has actually been fairly consistent at this track. Before a late problem last fall, he had four straight top-15 showings at this Bristol. Stenhouse is expecting to break through and get a win here sometime soon. Starting 19th, Stenhouse offers a nice floor as well as good upside.
Daniel Suarez ($8,100): Suarez is still a young driver, and in his four Bristol starts, he has done something many young ones fail to do -- completed all the laps. It is a testament to his driving style and patience, and there are a lot of "laps completed" FanDuel points available this weekend that Suarez should rack up. Daniel has yet to flash even a top-10 finish at Bristol, but if he can bring his level-headed approach this weekend, his car might be fast enough to get into the top-10. He was third in second practice and ninth in final practice. He also posted top-15 numbers in both Saturday sessions, so the speed appears to hang on for at least a little while. At only $8,100, Suarez appears to have the best equipment in his price range, and it is showing.
Matt DiBenedetto ($6,500): DiBenedetto probably hoped for better results switching to the JGR-backed Leavine Family Racing this year, but Bristol may be his first true test. He loves this track, posting his career-best sixth-place finish here back in April of 2016, but he also ran the horribly-underfunded GoFas Racing machine to four top-25 showings here. This week, in much better equipment than he's had previously, Matt's been extremely vocal on Twitter about his car, and the numbers say as much, with him posting third in the 10-lap averages in final practice. Confidence goes a long way, and even with the price increase, DiBenedetto could be great value here.
Ryan Preece ($6,000): Speaking of riding the wave, Ryan Preece's big break came in the Bristol Xfinity Series race conducted exactly one year ago from this date. He won the 300-miler and the accompanying Dash 4 Cash prize, putting his name on the map as a legitimate NASCAR prospect. Preece, now in a full-time Cup ride, has had a horrible start to his career after the Daytona 500, but there was one race of asylum -- Martinsville. The Connecticut native is a very strong short-track driver, and starting 30th, the safe floor has some upside as a filler play in lineups loaded with studs.
Ross Chastain ($4,000): Digging this deep, it's hard to find any sort of consistency with drivers. These cars are usually underfunded with poor drivers, but the 15-car from Premium Motorsports does not fit that bill. Ross Chastain is a legitimate stud NASCAR prospect, and he does an exceptional job completing laps, staying out of trouble, and squeezing every ounce out of a rather weak race car. If you want to jam in studs, Chastain will likely produce a very predictable finish with a floor as safe as they come should the car stay in one piece, and at only $4,000, that is all you would be hoping for.

So why then would a component system of that overall airport system, such as aircraft deicing, be any different?
I am always amazed when a client asks to implement an aircraft ground deicing system exactly like that of another airport, as if it were possible to simply walk to the closet and pick out someone else's jeans and expect them to fit in the same manner without any alteration. The truth is that no bum or waistline is created equal, and legs vary greatly in length and width and definition. What looks great and flattering on one person can look utterly foolish on another, especially within the greater context of the entire outfit and look and image that is trying to be achieved. The same can be said about aircraft deicing.
The list of variables affecting deicing and winter operations at global airports is extensive and airport specific, and includes things like climatology, airport design and layout, gate and runway capacity, number and type of deicing service providers, the deicing service provision model, de/anti-icing fluids, fluid storage infrastructure and fluid application strategies, deicing equipment, vehicles and vehicle attributes, facilities, airport traffic and stakeholder exposure to winter operations. Air carrier composition and aircraft fleet distributions need to be considered, as well as regulatory requirements, environmental restrictions and mitigation strategies. Business cultures of the various stakeholders are vitally important. The list of variables is long and far, far beyond those identified herein, and there are numerous interdependencies between the variables. Money, obviously, is paramount to any system development, and investment and costs and returns and recovery models all will greatly impact any solution developed.
Social media has also changed the landscape, as the deficiencies of generic, vanilla flavoured deicing systems, which rarely generate desirable performance, can now result in real-time and permanent damage to brand reputation for air carriers and airports as angry passengers vent frustrations.
What it comes down to is that the one-size-fits-all solution in ground deicing should be banished in my opinion. Good riddance, and hopefully the price-per-litre business model for spraying deicing fluids is not far behind. The happy flip side to all of this is that the deicing world is a modern one that has benefitted from over two decades of significant investment and technological advancement, and customized approaches and optimization strategies can now be easily developed to meet the financial, operational, cultural and environmental needs of pretty much every stakeholder, based on a thorough examination and analysis of the specific variables at play at a specific airport and marriage of existing technologies and procedures and new, innovative approaches in a structured plan for that specific airport. Say goodbye to vanilla and hello to improved performance.


I started writing a post about the remarkable In the Night Kitchen a few years ago. It sat in the draft queue and languished while I finished my dissertation. I had grand plans to make a milk cake. But since I'm just not that interested in baking in the day kitchen — and the book was far more complex than I had remembered — it sat.
Until today, when we mourn the death of Maurice Sendak and the long afterlife of his rebellious, courageous, playful and inquisitive little heroes.
I had got stuck on what I found offensive in In the Night Kitchen, the big flaw in the children's book as I saw it.
I'm in the milk and the milk's in me! God bless milk and God bless me!
And there, suddenly, God makes his entrance. My question as an atheist and a truth-seeker is, suddenly, this. How would one explain to a child this unnecessary turn to this new character at the moment of truth, a child unfamiliar with the concept of God?
I realized that Sendak's writing often pulls a stunt like this that keeps his characters from meaning any one thing or appealing to any one child or parent. Often naughty and unrepentant, the boys and alligators and monsters and all too occasional girls yell at authority figures and refuse to be cowed by anyone, even if they were clearly in the wrong. A lion needs to do more than merely eat Pierre, for example, to get him to care. Only regurgitation, a rebirth from the pit of lion stomach hell, can convert him to returning the love of his (what we'd now call co-dependent) doting parents.
Eating functions as a constant in Sendak's mythology. Kids demand certain foods and make it for others. It's a crux of power, an essential currency for love and autonomy.
He loved it so much he ate it. It's almost like a joke without a punchline or a terrible truth for someone unconvinced by digestion or perhaps a Catholic: How do you keep a Wild Thing forever? Eat it.
Likewise, in their chaotic imaginary worlds, Sendak's boys ascend to power and threaten the forces against them by denying them food or telling them they'll be eaten up. One might think, if one were to stop there, that Sendak thought it was a dog-eat-dog world, where boys needed to either consume or be consumed.
I'm not the milk and the milk's not me! I'm Mickey!
Milk in the batter! Milk in the batter! We bake cake and nothing's a-matter!
If the chefs are Nazi exterminators, the "morning cake" easily transmutes into "mourning cake," the night kitchen the long night of diaspora and the blind eye of discrimination.
Instead of taking himself and the milk away from the night kitchen, escaping, he becomes something edible, and it's the very thing he took pains to distance himself from earlier. Now he is immersed in the milk, both inside and outside, and moreover, it's all blessed and sharable, even with the creatures that want to destroy him.
That's something beyond allowing a child to identify with triumphant Mickey, the one immersed in the nightmare of history, the one who refuses to become a cake and challenges any scary, unjust, or immovable institution the chefs represent.
Throughout the book, we can't help but think of Mickey's outside and inside, his body and the consumption that he undertakes and delivers. Yes, the book teems with sensuality — not the weird timid pedophilic touch feared by the censors, but sensuality in the non-sexual realm of tactility and texture. It's about bodies and what your senses can experience. The boy falls out of his clothes and into liquids of various sorts that morph and change and engulf him in tastes and smells and feelings as he ventures off into the unfamiliar.
Sendak's books often do that. My favorite of his little verses, "Chicken Soup with Rice," puts the soup in the mouths of children but also turns the children into birds stirring soup in their nests, and then into vessels containing the soup. We are made out of the same elements as the water, air, land — everything organic.
And because of that, we can change into whatever we like, eat and be eaten, turn ourselves upside-down or inside-out. We can become and unbecome our enemies and foodstuffs, in the most elemental and visceral ways recognizing our difference and our commonality. It's blessed to transform. I'm in the milk and the milk's in me.
Previous Article spring vegetables say hello, locavore!
I loved this book as a child but never thought about the Hitler-crematoria-Holocaust references that are now so bluntly there. I enjoyed Sendak's gruff final two-part recent interview with Stephen Colbert. Also, interesting that the naked Mickey appears uncircumcised in the images. Maybe that bothered some censors?
I just bought my 21-month-old In The Night Kitchen, as well as the Nutshell Library and Where The Wild Things Are. It's weird to revisit them as an adult–as you imply, there's a lot of slightly unsettling stuff going on. But I truly live the weirdness. To me that ability to capture the dreamworld, which is how I read Night Kitchen and Wild Things, is what makes Sendak appealing to kids. My son is obsessed w Mickey. He's too young to express his dreams or fears or what he imagines, but just as Roald Dahl acknowledged the scary and brutal side of childhood, I love that Sendak taps into their weird imaginations.
When we are both Very Old I will point to *this* and tell people I knew you.
…and now I must make you a milk cake. Dammit.
Aw, thanks, SJ. I'm glad someone likes this post as much as I do.
Now I must eat your milk cake.
I just thought this was such an insightful, well written observation. Well done. As a newly outed atheist, I loved your truth and honesty. Thank you.
Latepass, but I just wanted to comment that "I see the moon, the moon sees me, God bless the moon and God bless me" is a children's rhyme that has carried on from the 1700s. This little reference would be immediately recognizable to anyone who had heard it, and I think would very fittingly be said and heard by this little character, who is so fresh and original, but also very much a child. Sendak also could be further playing with the idea of "slipping a mickey" (to add something that shouldn't really be there)–both to the original phrase and to the book itself. Looking at the image, it states the Mickey is "singing" and there is a tongue-in-cheek moon right in between the two pages, watching Mickey change the words to "its" song. Just wanted to let you know, I think there is much more simple reasoning behind the choice to reference this, as opposed to Sendak himself intentionally writing in a God moment.
Thanks for your thoughts, Britta. I didn't know the rhyme and it's good to have that background. It doesn't change the sudden jarring appearance of God, though, especially to a non-believer that still needs to explain it to kids. Some of the older versions of the "I See the Moon" poem have lines asserting the grace of God enveloping and saving all, including humans and nature — a very Christian sentiment. This works quite well with my interpretation, and if there were any Christian sentiments I'd support, it would be the idea of grace.
Not sure I understand your interpretation related to Sendak "slipping a mickey," but it does work as wordplay!

Даніель Петер (; (9 березня 1836 — 4 листопада 1919) — швейцарський підприємець, винахідник молочного шоколаду.

Народився 9 березня 1836 року в Мудоні, у кантоні Во, у сім'ї м'ясника Жана Семюеля Петера та Жанни-Луїзи Лоран. В 1856 році заснував компанію з виробництва свічок. З часом, однак, профіль компанії змінився і до виробництва свічок додалося виготовлення шоколаду. В 1863 році одружився на донці відомого шоколатьє Франсуа Луї Кайе.

З 1857 року Петер експериментував, намагаючись поєднати шоколад із молоком. Але спроби були невдалими, доки суміш «цвіла». Вихід був знайдений, коли Анрі Нестле винайшов «сухе молоко». Саме поєднання шоколаду з молочним порошком і дозволило Петеру створити в 1875 році молочний шоколад, який сам винахідник назвав Gala.

Пізніше патент на новий різновид шоколаду Петер продав компанії Нестле.

Помер Петер 4 листопада 1919 року у Веве.

Nkechi Nwosu becomes first female Bishop of Methodist Church Nigeria
By David Abakpa
Methodist Bishop of Jos, Nkechi Nwosu
The Methodist Church Nigeria, Archdiocese of Kaduna, on Sunday ordained Right Reverend Nkechi Nwosu as the church's first female bishop.
Channels reports that Right Reverend Nkechi Nwosu was formally enthroned as the Bishop of Jos by the Archbishop of Kaduna, Most Reverend Joseph Nnonah at the Christ Methodist Cathedral Church in Jos, North Central Nigeria.
Nwosu was elected Bishop of Jos during a biennial Conference of Methodist Church Nigeria that was held in 2022.
Members of the Diocese of Jos converged to witness the enthronement service as the Archbishop of Kaduna archdiocese formally ordained Bishop Nwosu to oversee the diocese
In her remarks, Nwosu said God has made all humans equal. She encouraged all Nigerians to always seeks the face of God, especially as the general elections begin on February 25.
"We must all go out there and agree with God, listen to the spirit of God, and do what God said we should do."
"Do that so that God will use us and anybody he will put on that seat to restore Nigeria to a place of pride in Africa, and the world," the new bishop stated.
With the Enthronement Act administered on the bishop as directed by the conference and in consequence of the will and consent of the Diocese of Jos; the bishop thereafter officially commenced the spiritual activities as the Bishop of Jos Diocese which she sees as a privilege in the propagation of the gospel without any prejudice.
The enthronement of Nwosu as the first female bishop of the Methodist Church Nigeria is no doubt a clarion call on Christendom that the propagation of the gospel is an assignment that cuts across gender issues.

2023 Guber: Hundreds of Abia youths back AA candidate, Akym Onyekwere


Gorgeous bride Claire recounts their love story..."Our story began whilst both studying at Glasgow University. Following a kiss at a Student Union school disco, a nine year romance began. Colin popped the question in February last year in the picturesque city of Bruges. Ever the romantic, he planned the perfect weekend break and got down on one knee at dusk by the canal at Rozenhoedkaai, with old Bruges in the background. He even planned to have someone from the hotel secretly photograph the moment, and surprised me by booking an extra day off work to extend our time 'in the bubble' of being newly engaged."
Echoing their waterside proposal Claire and Colin decided to marry at the stunning West Wing at Crom Castle - surrounded by elegant details and picture perfect Irish countryside. To honour Colin's Scottish roots kilts were worn whilst Irish details were incorporated with flowers by Floral Earth, crisp Irish linens and dainty Irish whisky favours.

The cover story of Granta 103 is Richard Watson's remarkable investigation into the origins – and the rise – of the British jihad. At present, in Britain, there are at least 200 indigenous active terrorist cells being monitored by the Security Service MI5, with 4,000 British Muslims considered to be a threat to national security. How did the British jihad start and how do we stop it?
Richard Watson is an investigative journalist on BBC Newsnight. For the past eight years he has been Newsnight's specialist reporter covering Islamist extremism and terrorism. In this exclusive interview with Granta.com, he talks about Islamic fundamentalism in the United Kingdom, the perils of propaganda, the influence of the internet, the mistakes of Britain's security services and the future of terrorism and counter-intelligence.
Justifying Jihad: It all changed after 9/11. How America's invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq mobilized terrorism in Britain and beyond.
What Makes a Terrorist: A sense of social alienation is something shared by many British radicals, but other elements are just as troubling and more difficult to define.
Will 7/7 Happen Again? As MI5 modernizes and adapts to new challenges, so do global terrorists. How safe are we, really?
How to Win the Battle of Ideas: Britain has been too slow to challenge the threat of terrorism head-on. Winning the battle of ideas is paramount.
A panel discussion about the origins of the British jihad.

How to Draw Princess Bubblegum
Use the video and step-by-step drawing instructions below to learn how to draw Princess Bubblegum from Cartoon Network's Adventure Time. A new cartoon drawing tutorial is uploaded every week, so stay tooned!
Intro: Start off with a pencil sketch. In the beginning stages, don't press down too hard. Use light, smooth strokes for sketching.
Step 1: Start by drawing a small circle near the top of the page. It doesn't have to be perfect; it's just a guide for Princess Bubblegum's head.
Step 2: Inside the circle draw two intersecting lines, one vertical and one horizontal. Have them bend to contour to the circle's form. These will be construction guides that will help you place Princess Bubblegum's features later on. Draw a tiny line under her head as a guide for her neck.
Step 3: Below Princess Bubblegum's head and slightly off to the right, draw a very long rectangle as a guide for her body. Draw a horizontal line near the top of the rectangle to form a square that's roughly the same height as the original circle.
Step 4: On the top sides of the square, draw two lines as guides for her arms. The line on the left should go up because she will be waving. The line on the right should angle down next to Princess Bubblegum's side.
Step 5: Draw a big curved line around Princess Bubblegum's body and head as a guide for her hair. The guide is similar to a giant upside-down letter U. The bottom of the hair ends in a horizontal line that's above the bottom of Princess Bubblegum's body.

Q: Why heatmap row order is not the same as the data row order? Hello for my work I creates a ggplot2 heatmap.
here are the data
structure(list(label = structure(c(4L, 5L, 7L, 2L, 3L, 6L, 8L,
1L, 4L, 5L, 7L, 2L, 3L, 6L, 8L, 1L, 4L, 5L, 7L, 2L, 3L, 6L, 8L,
1L), .Label = c("SP1", "SP2", "SP3", "SP4", "SP5", "SP6", "SP7",
"SP8"), class = "factor"), Categories = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L,
1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L,
3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L), .Label = c("VAR1", "VAR2", "VAR3"), class = "factor"),
    Value = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 3L,
    3L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 1L, 1L), .Label = c("<NA>",
    "A", "B"), class = "factor")), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-24L))

as you can see there is a specific order of labels :
1 - SP4
2 - SP5
3 - SP7
...
7 - SP8
8 - SP1

here is the df :
> table
   label Categories Value
1    SP4       VAR1  <NA>
2    SP5       VAR1  <NA>
3    SP7       VAR1  <NA>
4    SP2       VAR1  <NA>
5    SP3       VAR1  <NA>
6    SP6       VAR1  <NA>
7    SP8       VAR1  <NA>
8    SP1       VAR1  <NA>
9    SP4       VAR2     A
10   SP5       VAR2     B
11   SP7       VAR2     B
12   SP2       VAR2     B
13   SP3       VAR2     B
14   SP6       VAR2     A
15   SP8       VAR2  <NA>
16   SP1       VAR2  <NA>
17   SP4       VAR3     A
18   SP5       VAR3     B
19   SP7       VAR3     B
20   SP2       VAR3     B
21   SP3       VAR3     B
22   SP6       VAR3     B
23   SP8       VAR3  <NA>
24   SP1       VAR3  <NA>

so I'm expecting to see the same row order if I do a heatmap with ggplot, but instead I get this order:

I used the code :
ggplot(mod_mat_gen_env, aes(x=Categories, y=label))+
  geom_tile(aes(fill=Value))

A: One option is to refactor it in your data.frame, or you can provide the order using limits= option in scale_y_discrete()
df$Value = replace(as.character(df$Value),df$Value=="<NA>",NA)
list_correct_order=c("SP4","SP5","SP7","SP2","SP3","SP6","SP8","SP1")

ggplot(df, aes(x=Categories, y=label))+
  geom_tile(aes(fill=Value)) +
scale_y_discrete(limits=rev(list_correct_order))

Georg Johan Londicer, född 10 juni 1686 i Reval, Estland, död 4 maj 1733, var medlem i Kungliga Hovkapellet.

Biografi
Georg Johan Londicier föddes 10 juni 1686 i Reval, Estland. Han var son till porträttmålaren Ernst Vilhelm Londicer (1655–1697) och Maria Helena Pollack (död 1710). Hans far avled 1697 och 1699 gifte hans mor sig med lackeraren Georg von der Drijs i Reval. Londicier studerade 1705 geometri och fortifikation i Stockholm. 1714 flyttade Londicier till Sverige och började arbeta som extraordinarie vid Kungliga Hovkapellet.  Troligtvis flyttade von der Drijs med honom, då han avled 1719 i Stockholm. Den 11 november 1716 gifte Londicer sig med Margareta Helena Spiel (1694–1759). Hon var dotter till en borgare i Reval. De fick tillsammans barnen Ernst Johan (född 1717), Christiana Margareta (1720–1729) och Georg Rudolph (född 1724). Ordinarie hovkapellet blev Londicier 6 oktober 1720. Londicer hade även skriftlig kontakt med den tyske musikhistorikern Johann Mattheson. Han lämnade uppgifter till Mattheson om hovkapellets personal och löner under 1730 som finns med i Matthesons bok Kleine General Bass-Schule. Londicer avled 4 maj 1733.

The History of Python
A series of articles on the history of the Python programming language and its community.
A Brief Timeline of Python
The development of Python occurred at a time when many other dynamic (and open-source) programming languages such as Tcl, Perl, and (much later) Ruby were also being actively developed and gaining popularity. To help put Python in its proper historical perspective, the following list shows the release history of Python. The earliest dates are approximate as I didn't consistently record all events:
Release Date Version
December, 1989 Implementation started
1990 Internal releases at CWI
February 20, 1991 0.9.0 (released to alt.sources)
February, 1991 0.9.1
Autumn, 1991 0.9.2
December 24, 1991 0.9.4
January 2, 1992 0.9.5 (Macintosh only)
April 6, 1992 0.9.6
Unknown, 1992 0.9.7beta
January 9, 1993 0.9.8
July 29, 1993 0.9.9
January 26, 1994 1.0.0
February 15, 1994 1.0.2

April 13, 1995 1.2
January 3, 1998 1.5
October 31, 1998 1.5.1
April 13, 1999 1.5.2
September 5, 2000 1.6
December 21, 2001 2.2
July 29, 2003 2.3
November 30, 2004 2.4
September 16, 2006 2.5
October 1, 2008 2.6
December 3, 2008 3.0
I've added hyperlinks to the releases that are still being advertised on python.org at this time. Note that many releases were followed by several micro-releases, e.g. 2.0.1; I haven't bothered to include these in the table as otherwise it would become too long. Source tarball of very old releases are also still accessible, here: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/src/. Various ancient binary releases and other historical artefacts can still be found by going one level up from there.

a) how long did it take you to realize the "range" function is using huge amounts of memory when used in a for loop ? Did you not envison people needing more than a few iterations ? If there should only be one way to do something, why have both range and xrange ?
b) When are you going to add File.open ?
c) how many more special reserved words are you going to use for "built-in" functions, and are there going to be any "free" names left for people to use in their programs without fear of conflict ?
d) how many more upgy underscore methods are you going to hack into the "language" ?
e) why is everything about this "language" so hacky and provide a million different ways to do the same thing (get/getattr/hasattr/has_key/in/etc) ?
f) Is the motivation behind the "property" function/decorator/object? to win the most stupid syntax ever ?
when are you going

Wish all these subversion repositories would quickly move onto a DVCS, like git.
Tired of using $ git svn, to slowly painfully accumulate history.
verte January 29, 2009 at 5:53 PM
@Uzah:
b) what's wrong with open() ? it could conceivably return more than files. in 3.0, it returns an io.BufferedReader.
c) built in functions are not reserved words. you can define your own function called open, and you can use a local variable called open without any problems.
d) ugly underscore methods? methods of what? what are you talking about?
e) they all do very different things (except for has_key, which is going away).
f) it's nice precisely because it doesn't introduce new syntax.

Confidence Rises Among Manufacturing Workers
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-The confidence of U.S. workers in manufacturing industries showed further signs of improvement in the third quarter of 2006, according to the latest Spherion Employment Report survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Spherion Corp. The third quarter Industrial, Manufacturing and Construction Employee Confidence Index increased by 1.3 points to 54.7-the largest gain in three quarters.
More workers believe that more jobs are available, 23%, as compared to the second quarter, 19%, and more have confidence in the future of their current employer-up three percentage points to 59% in the third quarter. Seven in 10 workers still believe they are not likely to lose their jobs in the next 12 months, and more than half, 55%, remain confident in their ability to find new jobs.
As for manufacturing workers, 75% said it is unlikely that they will lose their job in the next 12 months. This is strong worker confidence in job security, and tracks closely with a record-breaking 80% of the overall U.S. workforce who feel the same.
In manufacturing, 16% of workers said it is likely they'll lose their jobs while about 8% are neutral. Also, 31% of manufacturing workers indicated that it is likely they will look for a new job in the next 12 months, while 55% do not feel it is likely they will; 14% remain neutral.
"We continue to see overall gains in worker confidence in these sectors, especially in terms of their employers'
futures as indicated by the three-percentage-point rise from last quarter," says Ralph Henderson, senior vice president of staffing services for Spherion. "And four in 10 now report they are likely to change jobs in the next 12 months-five percentage points higher than the overall U.S. workforce. This optimism may reflect ongoing job growth in manufacturing and industrial services, where we're seeing an up-tick in demand for assembly workers, experienced forklift operators, and warehouse and distribution personnel."
The Employee Confidence Index of workers in the industrial, manufacturing and construction industries rose 1.3 points in the third quarter of 2006, fueled primarily by a four-percentage-point rise in worker confidence in the availability of jobs and a three-percentage-point increase in confidence in the future of their employers. While this sector continues to lag the overall U.S. Index, which declined for the third consecutive quarter, the gap narrowed from 4.9 in the second quarter to 2.9 in the third quarter.
