The utility of amplified fragment length polymorphisms in phylogenetics: A comparison of homology within and between genomes
David M. Althoff, Matthew A. Gitzendanner, Kari A. Segraves
The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique is being increasingly used in phylogenetic studies, especially in groups of rapidly radiating taxa. One of the key issues in the phylogenetic suitability of this technique is whether the DNA fragments generated via the AFLP method are homologous within and among the taxa being studied. We used a bioinformatics approach to assess homology based on both chromosomal location and sequence similarity of AFLP fragments. The AFLP technique was electronically simulated on genomes from eight organisms that represented a range of genome sizes. The results demonstrated that within a genome, the number of fragments is positively associated with genome size, and the degree of homology decreases with increasing numbers of fragments generated. The average homology of fragments was 89% for small genomes (<400 Mb) but decreased to 59% for large genomes (>2 Gb). Fragment homology for large genomes can be increased by excluding smaller fragments, although there is no clear upper limit for the size of fragments to exclude. A second approach is to increase the number of selective nucleotides in the final selective amplification step. For strains of the same organism, homology based on chromosome location and sequence similarity of fragments was 100%. Fragment homology for more distantly related taxa, however, decreased with greater time since divergence. We conclude that AFLP data are best suited for examining phylogeographic patterns within species and among very recently diverged species.

Makalapua, a sprawling oceanfront estate at the foot of Diamond Head overlooking a very private slice of white sand beach, was just listed for sale. Not only is it a beautiful property, it also has a famous former owner: Sanford Dole, justice of the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, president of the Republic of Hawai'i following the overthrow of the monarchy, and first governor of the territory of Hawai'i.
The 3,926-square-foot two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home could easily be reconfigured into more bedrooms, and there's a separate one-bedroom guesthouse by the pool. The second-floor master suite overlooks an expansive yard and the ocean; the estate, more than 13,000 square feet, has 75 feet of linear ocean frontage. The floors are local 'ōhi'a wood, and the walls throughout are Venetian plaster. The living areas all open directly to the lawn, allowing for indoor-outdoor living and alfresco dining.
Off the beach lies a channel in the reef, making it an ideal place for swimming, snorkeling and paddling. The pool and waterfall, located just beyond the Mediterranean-esque entry to the home, are covered in Bisazza Italian glass and 24-karat-gold tile. The hot tub is situated in the oceanfront garden and offers unparalleled views of the ocean and sunsets.
Located at 3229 Diamond Head Road, the estate is listed for $22 million by Anne Hogan Perry of Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties.

Asylum seekers and our national shame
Where do we find peace and unity if it isn't in our hearts?
Greed, corruption and violence breeds ignorance, slavery and death
Villawood Immigration Detention Centre
Australia has become the subject of incredulity, pity and concern in its current treatment of asylum seekers and refugees and its total rejection of human rights and any claim to moral leadership.
The recent statements by Christian churches standing in solidarity with community service providers is pointing to a community heartbeat that the Government ignores at its peril. The consciences of millions of Australians are protesting more and more loudly at its treatment of these vulnerable people.
The recent Report by the Australian Churches Refugee Taskforce released on the 29th July 2014 is damning in its assessment of Australian's treatment of refugees and particularly as it relates to Australia's willingness to lock children up in our own concentration camps.
The Report quotes the Australian Catholic Bishops who recently stated that asylum seeker policy 'has about it a cruelty that does no honour to our nation'.
The Report comments that the Australian Government consistently 'fails to apply fair and lawful processes for these children'.
'These children are being thrown into hostile processes, which ultimately lead to a (what can be) life or death decision, with no support'.
It comments that 'there is too much secrecy and a lack of transparency. The duty of care towards these young people is being consistently breached'.
The Report states that 'the Minister forsakes his guardianship duties when he sends unaccompanied children to the detention camp in Nauru (and previously to Manus Island). The evidence is clear that children are experiencing terrible physical and mental suffering. This is state sanctioned child abuse which the Taskforce believes will warrant a Royal Commission'.
It states that 'children on Nauru are locked up behind wire, living in cramped, rat infested vinyl tents where the temperatures are extreme. They have poor access to the most basic of subsistence needs such as water and are considered at significant risk of sexual abuse. Children are witnessing adults self-harming including hanging, wounding, and starvation'. The description of conditions of detention on Nauru are subsequently spelled out on page 38 of the Report.
The Report reminds us that 'Australia is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), one of the six 'core human rights treaties' that collectively sit alongside the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and underpin the international human rights framework… the other key element related to the rights of unaccompanied children is the system of international refugee protection, set out in the Refugee Convention and Protocol'.
It reminds us that 'there is little to no evidence that 'deterrence' based policies actually work in resolving the movement of displaced people over the medium to long term'.
The Report also reminds us that Human Rights are a Christian discourse, and are a basic building block for human flourishing, where we recognise all people as being of equal moral value. It is based on the sacredness of every life, every being created in God's image.
The current numbers of children in detention are appalling and unacceptable. The evidence given in the recent UNHCR Hearings is dreadful and demand a response from the Government beyond denial and propaganda.
The AHRC National Inquiry into Children in Detention is reporting 10 years on since its first report in 2004. Two Australian professors have reiterated their views made 10 years ago. 'We used the term 'ritualised abuses' to explain that the children were subject to formal and repeated acts of abuse, carried out under a belief system that the government adopted to justify such cruelty. We used the term 'organised abuse' to illustrate that children were being abused by many perpetrators who acted together in ways they knew could be extremely harmful. Ten years later, there are 10 times as many children subject to this organised ritualised practice.' The inadequate conditions and lack of transparency have prompted UNICEF and Plan International Australia to speak out. And both have called on the Australian Government to establish an independent body to monitor and publicly report on the treatment of children in Australian immigration detention (2014:18).
Pastor Jarrod McKenna has commented 'that children who come to us seeking asylum are to be regarded as a significant threat requiring detention and deportation represents the utter moral failure of leadership in our country' (2014:19).
The discussion of the Nauru and Cambodia options for resettlement are also reviewed and discussed and we need to hang our heads in shame at the damage being heaped upon damage that we are inflicting on those who have no power and no way to protest. The lengths to which we will go in order to change and alter the meaning of the laws to get the right outcome to suit the political necessity displays a moral illiteracy that we will regret in years to come.
The Report is worth reading and reflecting upon as it contains a number of positive recommendations for the current Government and Oppositions to consider. I have quoted extensively from the Report. I commend the Taskforce that has produced it. I welcome the opportunity that it provides to talk about these issues.
I hope our political leaders will show a different sort of leadership and do what Jesus did: instead of creating life built around hate and violence, the world can instead be arranged around love and forgiveness….Unity is not to be built around the practice of scapegoating a hated victim, but around the practice of loving your neighbour as yourself' (2014:43).

Caesars Entertainment invests $325 Million to transform Harrah's New Orleans into Caesars New Orleans
KEYWORDS casino development
Caesars Entertainment, Inc. shared plans to transform its property into Caesars New Orleans as part of a $325 million renovation and construction project that will significantly enhance the property, set to be completed by 2024.
The plans, presented today before the New Orleans Building Corporation, detail a large-scale renovation of Harrah's, the only land-based casino in New Orleans. Embracing the iconic Caesars brand, the project will create a new flagship resort, Caesars New Orleans, featuring the elegance and indulgence that has become Caesars' hallmark only steps from the famed French Quarter.
Preliminary plans include:
An all-new 340 room hotel tower above the existing casino valet porte cochère;
New culinary and hospitality offerings within the casino;
Additional development of the unoccupied area on the second floor of the casino; and
Full exterior and interior architectural and design enhancements.
"We are excited to introduce Caesars New Orleans to the city," said Tom Reeg, CEO of Caesars Entertainment. "As the only land-based gaming operator in the city, we take great pride in our 20-year history in New Orleans, and this reinvestment is a testament to our continued commitment."
"We will continue to move this city forward and fuel our economic recovery, moving important projects that put people to work and entertain residents and visitors alike," said LaToya Cantrell, Mayor of New Orleans. "We are excited that this expansion will mean hundreds of construction jobs during the project and hundreds more in sustainable and new jobs post-construction. The addition of Caesars New Orleans will strengthen our city's position as the top cultural and entertainment destination city in the nation."
In June of 2019, Caesars Entertainment was awarded an extension to its operating contract, allowing operation until 2054. As part of the extension agreement, Caesars Entertainment will provide millions in tax revenue to New Orleans and Louisiana while creating 600 construction jobs during development and 500 sustainable and new jobs following the construction phase.
"As a native of New Orleans, I am so proud that we are working with local architects and designers to help enhance an already incredible destination," said Samir Mowad, general manager of Harrah's New Orleans. "What was shared today is only the beginning of a transformation that will bring new energy, excitement, and fun to New Orleans."

Q: OpenCSV CsvToBean: First column not read for UTF-8 Without BOM Using OpenCSV to parse UTF-8 documents without BOM results in the first column not read. Giving as an input the same document content but encoded in UTF-8 with BOM works correctly.
I set specifically the charset to UTF-8
    fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
    inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(fileInputStream, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
    reader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
    HeaderColumnNameMappingStrategy<Bean> ms = new HeaderColumnNameMappingStrategy<Bean>();
    ms.setType(Bean.class);
    CsvToBean<Bean> csvToBean = new CsvToBeanBuilder<Bean>(reader).withType(Bean.class).withMappingStrategy(ms)
            .withSeparator(';').build();
    csvToBean.parse();

I've created a sample project where the issue can be reproduced:
https://github.com/dajoropo/csv2beanSample
Running the Unit Test you can see how the UTF-8 file without BOM fails and with BOM works correctly.
The error comes in the second assertion, because the first column in not read. Result it:
[Bean [a=null, b=second, c=third]]
Any hint?

A: If I open Bean class in you project and search for "B" then I can find one entry. If I search for "A" then I cannot :) It means you copy/pasted A with BOM header to Bean class. BOM header is not visible but still taken into account.
If I fix "A" then another test starts failing but I think you can fix it using  BOMInputStream.
Check this question and answer Byte order mark screws up file reading in Java
It is known problem. You can use Apache Commons IO's BOMInputStream to solve it.
Just tried
    <dependency>
        <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
        <version>2.6</version>
    </dependency>

and
        inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(new BOMInputStream(fileInputStream), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

and fixing
@CsvBindByName(column = "A")
private String a;

to exclude prefix from "A" makes both tests passing

As it was the purpose to have the 1.04RC3 being released officially I've decided not to release it through the official channel. I have just received an important bugfix which was finished earlier than expected. So probably early next week this version will be released.

IFJ/EFJ Welcome Jury Decision to Uphold Haitian Photographer's Authors' Rights
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) have welcomed a US federal jury decision on 22 November to award Haitian photographer Daniel Morel a large amount of damages for violation of his authors' rights in photographs by Agence France Press and Getty Images.
The legal dispute between Morel and AFP began on 13 January 2010 when Morel uploaded his photographs of the Haiti earthquake on the social networking website, Twitpic. The AFP published Morel's photographs without obtaining his permission and wrongly credited Mr Lisandro Suero, who had re-posted Morel's pictures, as the author.
When confronted later by Morel, the AFP argued that Morel granted third parties (including AFP) a broad license to use his photographs posted on Twitpic. However, the US district court in New York rejected the AFP's arguments on 23 December 2010. (see EFJ statement and court's ruling). In January 2013 another judge also ruled that Morel's authors' rights had been infringed.
The jury decision grants Morel $1.2 million damages for infringement of his authors' rights on eight pictures. It decided that AFP and Getty had intentionally infringed Morel's rights as well as the US Digital Millennium Act, granting Morel additional damages for this.
"Clear respect for journalists and photo journalists' rights ' to be identified as authors and decide on the use to be made of their work is key if we want our colleagues to make a living and control the use that is made of their work," said IFJ President Jim Boumelha.
"This decision is a great step forward in our battle to uphold authors' rights. Additionally we hope that it will encourage social media to endorse fair policies when it comes to the use of creative works."
In 2011 Twitpic issued an apology for seemingly claiming copyright on images uploaded on its website. It changed its terms and conditions stating that users retain all copyrights to their photos and videos following protests by Twitpic users and copyright disputes.
However, the social media platform demands all its contributors grant it a "worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use works posted."
"This means that Twitpic can still use creative works for free, including for commercial purposes," said EFJ President Mogens Blicher-Bjerregård. "Media professionals should be made clearly aware ofthe implications such licenses have when they upload their work on social media".
For more information, please contact IFJ on + 32 2 235 22 17
The IFJ represents more than 600 000 journalists in 134 countries

Netflix series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness gets a release date and a new trailer
The animated series about zombies in the White House is coming in July
Chris Scullion
Netflix has announced that its upcoming Resident Evil animated series will arrive on July 8.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness revolves around a zombie outbreak at the White House, and a new trailer sheds some more light on its plot. It also shows some interesting new creatures, including a zombie pig.
A plot synopsis released by Netflix in March revealed that Nick Apostolides and Stephanie Panisello – the voices of Leon and Claire from the Resident Evil 2 remake – would be returning to reprise their roles.
"In 2006, there were traces of improper access to secret Presidential files found in the White House's network," the summary begins.
"American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is among the group invited to the White House to investigate this incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies.
"Meanwhile, TerraSave staff member Claire Redfield encounters a mysterious image drawn by a youth in a country she visited, while providing support to refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be of a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own investigation.
"The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a welfare facility. There, she has a chance reunion with Leon and uses the opportunity to show him the boy's drawing.
"Leon seems to realize some sort of connection between the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange drawing, but he tells Claire that there is no relation and leaves. In time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that shake the nation to its very core."
Originally thought to be a movie, Infinite Darkness will be an animated series produced by Japanese studio TMS Entertainment (Akira, Lupin the Third, Little Nemo) and animated by Japanese studio Quebico.
Infinite Darkness isn't the only Resident Evil content coming to Netflix. In August 2020 the streaming platform also announced a live action series is being developed by German production company Constantin Film, which is also behind the upcoming Resident Evil movie reboot.
According to Netflix's synopsis, the show will feature "the Wesker kids" as they uncover secrets inside of New Raccoon City. Albert Wesker is one of the primary antagonists in the Resident Evil games.
"When the Wesker kids move to New Raccoon City, the secrets they uncover might just be the end of everything," it says.

I worked 7 days a week earning over $250k in annual GCI.
When my eldest son was 3-1/2 and the other a year old, because I was never home, and my wife was working a 9-5 job out of the house, we decided to send our youngest to live with my in-laws in Indonesia so they could take care of him and give him the time we were unable to ourselves.
Now, I weigh 170 lbs and have been keeping this healthy lifestyle since January 2013. I eat healthy (no more junk food) and exercise at least 3 times a week.
"Craig's Coaching System has totally transformed my life. It has enabled me to vault up the Re/ Max charts and become very wealthy, but more important than that, it has literally brought my family together - that's priceless!!!

Q: I don't understand why digit not return but "local variable 'total' referenced before assignment" instead I want write a method that asks a user to input a digit, but if the user also inputs a string it needs to ask the user to input again until the correct data is input.
-------code that shows error-------------
def get_total():
    try:
        total = int(input("How many people you got in total: "))
    except:
        print("Your data is invalid, please try again.")
        get_total()
    return total

x = get_total()
print(x)

If you type 5 directly, it will print 5.
However if you type "s" first and then 5, it will throw this error:

"local variable 'total' referenced before assignment"

Can anyone could please tell me why?
If I correct the code like this, it works just fine
------code that works fine-----------------
def get_total():
    try:
        total = int(input("How many people you got in total: "))
        return total
    except:
        print("Your data is invalid, please try again.")
        return get_total()

x = get_total()
print(x)

So why does this happen?

A: The reason is that if you enter 5 in first try it assigns total the value of 5 and then returns it
However if you enter the value "s" the except block gets run and it goes back to the function call . Then you enter the value 5 the return statment in the second function call returns 5 and it exits the except block in the first function call.
Then it runs the return statement however the variable total doesnt exist only the value 5 exists
correct code is
def get_total():
    try:
        total = int(input("How many people you got in total: "))
    except:
        print("Your data is invalid, please try again.")
        total = get_total()
    return total

Hope it helps :)

A: I think this code is also correct:
def get_total():
    while True: # prompt's the user until a correct input is given(break)
        try:
            total = int(input("How many people you got in total: "))
            break # if the input for total is int, program will break from the loop. if not, program will print an error message and this loop will execute again
        except:
            print("Your data is invalid, please try again.")
    return total

x = get_total()
print(x)

hope it helps

A: The problem is that when in the code
total = int(input("How many people you got in total: "))

the input is not a number and int throws an exception the local variable total has not been assigned.
In the except part of the first version you are calling get_total recursively but this doesn't set the total variable, just returns you the result (that is ignored).
When (after this successful recursive call) you end up in your return statement the total variable is still unbound and therefore you get an exception.
The key point to understand is that calling get_total recursively is not a "goto". If you want a loop write a loop (e.g. using while), if you want recursion the use recursion.

A: The error code should be modified as:
def get_total():
    try:
        total = int(input("How many people you got in total: "))
    except ValueError:
        print("Your data is invalid, please try again.")
        total = get_total()  # assign return value back to total
    return total

You don't receive the returned value from the function when you called within function, so when it encounters return total, Python throws UnboundLocalError.
A better way is to use an infinite loop like following:
def get_total():
    while True:
        try:
            total = int(input("How many people you got in total: "))
            return total
        except ValueError:
            print("Your data is invalid, please try again.")

Note that it's not advised to handle all exceptions once (like except:). Always name the exception with except keyword (ValueError in this case).


Moving to a new city can be exciting, but also difficult. You won't know where anything is and the familiarity that you had with your former home will have vanished. As a result, it is a good idea to learn a few things about your new city before you arrive, as this can help to ease your transition.
Figure out the location of the closest grocery stores. If you have special dietary needs, locate the nearest place that will meet your needs. For example, if you have celiac disease, you might want to figure out where to buy gluten free food before anything else.
It's much easier to use public transportation to get around a city, rather than drive, when you first arrive there. Find out what the most efficient methods of public transit are and use them whenever you have to get from point A to point B.
Not every area of the city will be safe, so make sure that you avoid the rougher parts of town. You can read up on the most dangerous parts of the city online or simply ask some locals about places that you should avoid, especially after dark.

Q: What is the meaning of different ivar text colors in xcode's debugger window? Hitting the same breakpoint from two code locations... one is working and one isn't, and I think this color difference might be a clue. If I knew what it meant. But searching for this is hard:
Doesn't work:

Works:

What does this mean?

A: I believe it means the values of those variables were changed in the previous (or current?) step of execution. Your non-working example probably isn't getting the appropriate new values you want.
