A Man's Man in Sparkles
San Diego-raised figure skater Chris Knierim embraces masculinity on the ice -- even when he's wearing sparkles
By Steven Luke	• Published November 22, 2017 • Updated on February 10, 2018 at 9:49 am
Chris Knierim remembers leaving middle school early to practice figure skating at the San Diego Ice Arena and not telling his friends about it, fearing they'd make fun of his newfound passion.
Many years later, Knierim who grew up in Escondido and Ramona, looks back on those days and laughs, feeling confident about who he is and all he has accomplished.
Knierim is zeroing in on the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, where he and his pairs partner Alexa Scimeca hope to break a nearly 30-year drought for Team USA. American pairs figure skaters haven't medaled at the Olympics since 1988.
Knierim and Scimeca don't lack for chemistry. They're a pair on and off the ice. The couple, married now for a little more than a year, knows they have something special and they hope it will give them an extra edge over their competitors.
Knierim said there are many stereotypes surrounding male figure skaters and he hopes to break those down so younger boys feel confident pursuing the sport.
"There was always this, like, you're a male figure skater, so you have to be a certain way," he explained. "And I was not the typical -- even now I work on cars -- I'm a man's man but I go and I skate. And I wear sparkles -- if my wife tells me."
The couple now lives in Colorado, but thanks to their success on the ice, they get to travel the world competing together.
But, Knierim misses a lot of things about his hometown of San Diego, including the smell of the beach, his friends and family, including his brother Tyson who lives in Ramona, and In N' Out Burger.

Lorenzo Sanz Mancebo, född 19 april 1943 i Madrid, död 21 mars 2020 i Madrid, var en spansk affärsman. Han var klubbpresident för Real Madrid och ägare av Málaga CF där hans son Fernando är klubbpresident.

Sanz tillträdde som president i Real Madrid den 26 november 1995 efter att Ramón Mendoza tvingats avgå på grund av klubbens stora ekonomiska bekymmer. Sanz försökte vända den negativa trenden genom att värva storspelare och världsstjärnor som Davor Suker och Predrag Mijatovic. Detta ledde till att Real Madrid vann Champions League för första gången sedan 1966, både år 1998 och 2000. Hur som helst räckte inte succén i Champions League för att täcka de finansiella problemen som fortfarande fanns i klubben och i presidentvalet 2000 förlorade Sanz mot Florentino Pérez.

Sanz köpte Málaga CF i juli 2006.

Den 21 mars 2020 avled Sanz i sviterna av Covid-19.

What is a "Data Lake"? Think of it as an architectural approach allowing you to store massive amounts of unstructured, structured, and raw data in a central location. Storing data has become inexpensive, but there are other risks associated with a data strategy merely comprised of "hope" – it will eventually lead to your Data Lake failing to meet the needs of its end users.
The challenge with a Data Lake is not so much creating one as it is taking advantage of the opportunities it presents, like solving business challenges, goals, and problems through its utilization. Many organizations that build successful data lakes do so gradually, maturing the lake as they figure out which data and metadata are important to the organization's challenges and goals.
But what you want to avoid is storing a massive amount of data, hoping to do something with it down the road.
Align around primary functionality based on business goals and work backwards to help establish a framework for future success. This initial approach provides a variety of downstream positive impacts. It helps stakeholders understand the value that the data asset can provide while in parallel helping educate the potential utilizations of the data.
Establish a measurement plan to track the value of the data asset over time. This methodology also helps create the framework for your data access and retention policies.
Audit potential data sources to determine the validity and need of storing the data. Some data can't be re-created; it is important to identify those sources and have a corresponding policy. Additionally, the end of this process will help in the creation of your governing policies. Data ownership and how it gets used can be a difficult topic. Approaching the governance problem from a functional standpoint helps ensure that your policies are enabling your end users to meet their needs.
Many of the challenges we experience with Data Lakes are not new. The ability of a Data Lake to enable data so that it's readily available to be categorized, processed, analyzed, and consumed by diverse groups within an organization exponentially compounds many historic data warehousing problems.
Bottom line: Like with all great things, it's what you're able to do with them that make them great. Data Lakes are not an exception to that rule. Using your business challenges and goals as your primary focus will help your Data Lake succeed.

In Silico Biology - Volume 8, issue 5,6
Price: EUR N/A
In Silico Biology is a scientific research journal for the advancement of computational models and simulations applied to complex biological phenomena. We publish peer-reviewed leading-edge biological, biomedical and biotechnological research in which computer-based (i.e., "in silico" ) modeling and analysis tools are developed and utilized to predict and elucidate dynamics of biological systems, their design and control, and their evolution. Experimental support may also be provided to support the computational analyses.
In Silico Biology aims to advance the knowledge of the principles of organization of living systems. We strive to provide computational frameworks for understanding how observable biological properties arise from complex systems. In particular, we seek for integrative formalisms to decipher cross-talks underlying systems level properties, ultimate aim of multi-scale models.
Studies published in In Silico Biology generally use theoretical models and computational analysis to gain quantitative insights into regulatory processes and networks, cell physiology and morphology, tissue dynamics and organ systems. Special areas of interest include signal transduction and information processing, gene expression and gene regulatory networks, metabolism, proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis, among others, and the use of multi-scale modeling to connect molecular and cellular systems to the level of organisms and populations.
In Silico Biology also publishes foundational research in which novel algorithms are developed to facilitate modeling and simulations. Such research must demonstrate application to a concrete biological problem.
In Silico Biology frequently publishes special issues on seminal topics and trends. Special issues are handled by Special Issue Editors appointed by the Editor-in-Chief. Proposals for special issues should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief.
About In Silico Biology
The term "in silico" is a pendant to "in vivo" (in the living system) and "in vitro" (in the test tube) biological experiments, and implies the gain of insights by computer-based simulations and model analyses.
In Silico Biology (ISB) was founded in 1998 as a purely online journal. IOS Press became the publisher of the printed journal shortly after. Today, ISB is dedicated exclusively to biological systems modeling and multi-scale simulations and is published solely by IOS Press. The previous online publisher, Bioinformation Systems, maintains a website containing studies published between 1998 and 2010 for archival purposes.
We strongly support open communications and encourage researchers to share results and preliminary data with the community. Therefore, results and preliminary data made public through conference presentations, conference proceeding or posting of unrefereed manuscripts on preprint servers will not prohibit publication in ISB. However, authors are required to modify a preprint to include the journal reference (including DOI), and a link to the published article on the ISB website upon publication.

Specificity and Sensitivity of PROMIR, ERPIN and MIR-ABELA in Predicting Pre-MicroRNAs in the Chicken Genome
Authors: Sebastian, Bram | Aggrey, Samuel E.
Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous 21–23 nucleotide molecules that are known to regulate about 30% of protein-coding genes through the RNAi pathway. Low level expression of some miRNA has limited their in-situ discovery. Such limitations could be ameliorated by in-silico methodologies. The efficacies of three major programs (ERPIN, ProMir and miR-abela) in detecting known pre-miRNA were evaluated using chicken pre-miRNA data. The sensitivity of ProMir, miR-abela and ERPIN were 53%, 57% and 93%, …respectively. The specificity of the three algorithms using 5,000 random sequences was 98.94%, 99.46%, and 99.10% for ProMir-g, ERPIN and miR-abela, respectively. The sensitivities of the existing programs are low for chicken data and an efficient algorithm may be needed to predict novel chicken pre-miRNAs. Show more

Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes by Meta-Analysis of Microarray Data on Breast Cancer
Authors: Kondrakhin, Yury V. | Sharipov, Ruslan N. | Kel, Alexander E. | Kolpakov, Fedor A.
Abstract: Albeit the great number of microarray data available on breast cancer, reliable identification of genes associated with breast cancer development remains a challenge. The aim of this work was to develop a novel method of meta-analysis for the identification of differentially expressed genes integrating results of several independent microarray experiments. We developed a statistical method for identification of up- and down-regulated genes to perform meta-analysis. The method takes advantage of hypergeometric and binomial distributions. …Using our method we performed meta-analysis of five data sets from independent cDNA-microarray experiments on breast cancer. The meta-analysis revealed that 3.2% and 2.8% of the 24,726 analyzed genes are significantly (P-value < 0.01) down- and up-regulated, respectively. We also show that properly applied meta-analysis is a good tool for comparison of different breast cancer subtypes. Our meta-analysis showed that the expression of the majority of genes does not show significant differences in different subtypes of breast cancer. Here, we report the rationale, development and application of meta-analysis that enable us to identify biologically meaningful features of breast cancer. The algorithm we propose for the meta-analysis can reveal the features specific to the breast cancer subtypes and those common to breast cancer. The results allow us to revise the previously generated lists of genes associated with breast cancer and also identify most promising anticancer drug-target genes. Show more

Structural Analysis of Catalase from Two Musa Accessions, FHIA18 and Williams, and from Ravenala madagascariensis
Authors: Khoyratty, Sher-ullah S.S. | Souza Jr., Manoel T. | Jaufeerally-Fakim, Yasmina
Abstract: Nucleotide sequences of catalase were obtained following amplification using specific primers and were blasted against Musa acuminata catalase 2 mRNA from NCBI (157418810). Clustering of the amino acid sequences from NCBI was done using Clustal X. The latter revealed that FHIA18 catalase is more related to Ravenala madagascariensis (Musa relative) catalase while the Williams catalase is more related to a clade containing a Musa acuminata (Musa ancestor) catalase from NCBI. The tertiary …structures and the catalase consensus functional sites, based on the Pseudomonas syringae catalase structural template, were obtained for FHIA18, Williams, Ravenala madagascariensis and Musa acuminata catalases. They were found to differ slightly. Using known features of catalase active sites, four pre-requisite criteria were defined to find such sites: (1) Position of tyrosine axial to heme determined by X-ray diffraction, (2) 7 conserved amino acids in the active site found by sequence alignment, (3) favourable docking energy, and (4) presence of an unobstructed long tunnel that leads the ligand to the active site. Two differing potential docking sites were found for both FHIA18 and Williams that fit a maximum number of criteria. In terms of 1D sequence, the region of the docking site for Williams is within the catalase domains as seen upon NCBI blast. The counterpart of FHIA18 for the same region is not. This sequence difference between FHIA18 and Williams affects the best docking site in FHIA18 and Williams in silico. Show more

Comparative Studies on Inhibitors of HIV Protease: A Target for Drug Design
Authors: Jayaraman, Sudha | Shah, Kavita
Abstract: Bioinformatics tools are employed lately for in silico structure-function analysis of proteins. HIV protease inhibitors nelfinavir and tipranavir belong to the extended multi-ring systems. The intermolecular interactions made by the functional groups of the different residues on the protein molecule are probed with the help of computational tools for protein homology studies so as to identify the functional residues, create single, double, triple mutations using, different bioinformatics servers and to observe the …changes brought therein by docking. BLAST, RosettaDesign, PatchDock, Chimera were used in the present study for identifying the inhibitors as better drug targets. The HIV protease-nelfinavir complex (PDB code: 1OHR) and HIV protease V82F/I84V double mutant-tipranavir complex (PDB code: 1D4S) were used as templates for introducing mutations on the HIV protease active site. In this study a structure-based computer-assisted search for the comparison of the two inhibitors of HIV protease was carried out. The results suggest that the two inhibitors nelfinavir and tipranavir could be used for treatment of AIDS by targeting the enzyme HIV protease as neither of the two inhibitors exhibit any cross-reactivity with other human proteins, they readily bind to the mutated enzyme active site and still remain linked with the enzyme-substrate complex in the presence of water molecules. The inhibitor nelfinavir undergoes several changes in hydrogen bonds formation with the introduction of mutations on the HIV protease active site. It either has a positive or a negative inhibitory effect on HIV protease and forms new hydrogen bonds with a shorter bond lengths. Nelfinavir also seems to be an inhibitor of a more narrow specificity as it shows changes in binding bringing thereby conformational changes in the native enzyme. Tipranavir on the other hand seems to be a broad specificity inhibitor as no changes in the bond lengths with the introduction of mutations are observed. Of the two inhibitors tipranavir could be targeted more effectively for designing future drug analogues as it is less vulnerable to mutations. The HIV mutants reported herein could also be used for preliminary identification of specific inhibitors as drugs that may alter the HIV protease activity for medicinal use. Show more

Characterization of Sequence and Structural Features of the Candida krusei Enolase
Authors: Gandhi, Neha S. | Young, Kathy | Warmington, John R. | Mancera, Ricardo L.
Abstract: The incidence of human infections by the fungal pathogen Candida species has been increasing in recent years. Enolase is an essential protein in fungal metabolism. Sequence data is available for human and a number of medically important fungal species. An understanding of the structural and functional features of fungal enolases may provide the structural basis for their use as a target for the development of new anti-fungal drugs. We have obtained the sequence of the …enolase of Candida krusei (C. krusei), as it is a significant medically important fungal pathogen. We have then used multiple sequence alignments with various enolase isoforms in order to identify C. krusei specific amino acid residues. The phylogenetic tree of enolases shows that the C. krusei enolase assembles on the tree with the fungal genes. Importantly, C. krusei lacks four amino acids in the active site compared to human enolase, as revealed by multiple sequence alignments. These differences in the substrate binding site may be exploited for the design of new anti-fungal drugs to selectively block this enzyme. The lack of the important amino acids in the active site also indicates that C. krusei enolase might have evolved as a member of a mechanistically diverse enolase superfamily catalying somewhat different reactions.

Molecular Modeling and Docking Studies of Glutamate Racemase in Vibrio vulnificus CMCP6
Authors: Vidya, Natarajan | Vadivukkarasi, Bagavathkumar | Manivannan, Gopalakrishnan | Anbarasu, Krishnan
Abstract: Identification of novel drug targets in silico in Vibrio vulnificus is important as it is one of the emerging pathogenic microorganisms. Glutamate racemase, an important constituent of bacterial cell wall is chosen for structure prediction using homology modeling. With the aid of tools and softwares like MODELLER and Swiss-PdbViewer, the 3D structure is predicted and the final model is refined by energy minimization. The quality of the refined model is assessed using PROCHECK. The interaction between …the predicted structure of glutamate racemase and its potential inhibitors namely L-serine O-sulfate, (2R,4R)-2-amino-4-(2-benzo[b]thienyl)methyl pentanedioic acid, aziridino glutamate, exiguaquinol, γ-2 naphthylmethyl-D-glutamate and D-glutamine is analysed in silico by Autodock. The results indicate that certain residues like Asp13, Tyr45, Gly46, Asn78, Thr79, Cys185, His187 are highly conserved across the active site stretches of different bacterial species and may possibly assume precedence over the other residues for inhibitory action. This study provides an insight into the structure of glutamate racemase in V. vulnificus and also gives an idea about potential sites responsible for inhibitory action that could further be substantiated by experimental investigations.

On Multiple Regulatory Mechanisms in the Tryptophan Operon System in Escherichia coli: In silico Study of Perturbation Dynamics
Authors: Nguyen, Lan K. | Kulasiri, Don
Abstract: Living organisms often exist in uncertain environments where changes are the norm. Cellular systems therefore require resilient regulatory mechanisms for timely and stable adaptation. Among various regulation motifs, multiple feedback control emerges as a common theme. The tryptophan operon system in Escherichia coli regulates the production of intracellular tryptophan using an apparatus of three feedback mechanisms: repression, attenuation and enzyme inhibition; each provides essentially the same function but operates in distinctly different …ways. Here we aim to understand the roles of each loop by studying transient dynamics of the system to perturbations of different types; to reveal the underlying relationships between individual control mechanisms and macroscopic behaviour. We develop an S-systems approximation of an existing model for the system and characterise transient dynamics by introducing two measurable quantities: maximum disturbance (MD) and recovery time (RT). Our simulation results showed that combined regulation using all three feedback mechanisms significantly increases system stability, broadening the range of kinetic parameters for stable behaviour. Enzyme inhibition was shown to directly control the disturbance level in system variables after perturbations. Attenuation, on the other hand, was found to speed up system recovery whereas repression lengthens recovery time. The method developed in this paper and the defined transient dynamics measurements can be applied to other cellular systems. Show more

Essential Amino Acids for the Stability of Human Butyrylcholinesterase as Predicted by CUPSAT Server
Authors: Thomas, Biju | Boopathy, Rathanam
Abstract: Although butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is ubiquitous in the human system, its physiological function has often been questioned. Yet BChE has been the subject of active research since its discovery six decades ago. From an evolutionary view point, its stabilized existence even in absence of physiological function spared it from extinction. Herein, we present results on the amino acid residues essential for its stability using CUPSAT server. Out of the 523 amino acids analyzed, 168 were identified to …be vital for stability of the protein, and further categorized into three classes. The first class has 82 sites wherein any amino acid substitution results in instability. The second class has 52 sites where on one amino acid substitution alone stability is observed, while the third class has 34 sites where even on two different substitutions, stability is maintained. These sites are distributed throughout the different categories of protein secondary structure, with the order of priority: random coils, α-helices and β-strands. Multiple sequence alignment of BChE showed that most of these residues (85.1%) are within the conserved region, while the few that are not at the conserved region are proposed to be unique residues (14.9%) to the protein which do not show identity with other known homologs. Moreover, majority of the amino acid residues in the functional regions of human BChE do not show instability upon point mutation, indicative of the residue-wise separation for stability and function. Specifically, the active site S198 on mutation does not show instability, while L318P is highly unstable. In addition, S53, G212 and W430 are not involved in its stability and in fact the protein is stable even with all other 19 substitutions. In conclusion, this study bodes well as a forerunner for mutation and protein engineering studies of BChE. Show more

Rhetoric Coffee roasting symphonic coffee blends
The East Bay coffee roaster is experimenting with blends of several roasts, creating a more harmonic cup of coffee.
by Kate Williams Aug. 30, 2016, 10:00 a.m. October 4, 2022

What do comic books and symphonies have to do with coffee? Not much, unless you're talking with Rhetoric Coffee co-founders James Parrish and Colin Curtin. The 8-month-old coffee company, based out of Berkeley's Bay Area CoRoasters, is taking its inspiration from both art forms.
Delivered by mail every two weeks as part of a subscription service, Rhetoric's beans are not the typical Bay Area single light roast. Instead, Rhetoric is "trying out experimental blending methods, [like mélange roasts], that you don't see anywhere else," said Curtin, a web developer with a longstanding dream to get into the coffee industry.
Read more about coffee companies in Berkeley.
Parrish, a Blue Bottle barista and one of the founders of Alchemy Collective Café, is heading up coffee roasting. He may roast one single origin bean two or three ways, ranging from light to dark, and then blend the different roasts to create complexity. Or he'll roast several different origin beans at different roast levels "to get a wide spectrum of flavors," said Curtin.
These blends can get increasingly complex. Curtin described a recent blend in a piece published on the food website Hungry Onion: "Our last blend, the 'Cottonwood Blend' … was 5 different origins of coffee and 3 different roast levels (light, medium, and dark). It has an extremely full body and the singular, most distinct note our roaster (co-founder James Parrish) identified was 'Myrtle berry'; a citrusy-peppery-rosemary. … Being small means we get to bend and break rules. The blend was primarily an AA Kenya coffee, to which James exclaimed, 'No one blends Kenya!!' and laughed maniacally."
What does all of this have to do with music? As Curtin told Nosh, "We're trying to have our roasts be a symphony of flavor. Each roast is like one instrument, to make a wonderful, complex tasting coffee."

Curtin says he and Parrish have no particular affinity for any style of roast; depending on the particular coffee beans, they may create a lighter or darker blend. "You can roast beans in many ways," said Curtin.
What's more important for the pair is the sourcing of the beans. Like most new coffee roasters, Rhetoric Coffee is fastidious about its sourcing. According to a recent story in Daily Coffee News, much of the company's beans are imported through Coffee Shrub's direct trade program, Farm Gate. This purchasing program negotiates coffee prices directly with the farmer, "at the farm gate," according to the Coffee Shrub website. The importer pays prices higher than Fair Trade minimums, and "we we can easily verify that the good price we pay makes it to the people who do the work, and are responsible for the great cup quality of our coffee."
For Curtin, direct trade is an important step in creating a "holistic coffee experience," he said. "We want customers to feel as good buying and drinking our coffee as we do making it."
He and Parrish intent to maintain these principles as Rhetoric grows. "A big focus will be on paying everyone fairly," said Curtin. He said they would like to open an East Bay café in the future. Curtin plans for Rhetoric to become a B Corp, and to have open books and a profit-sharing system with its employees. "It's an experiment in ethical business and high-quality coffee," said Curtin.
The café will also be a showcase for live music and artwork — much like Rhetoric today. Each bag of Rhetoric coffee comes come in a paper bag, screen-printed with elaborate, whimsical images from comic book and (soon) graffiti artists. Parrish is "big into comic books," said Curtin.
"Our plan with the art on the bags is to change it every batch, just as we change the composition of the roast every time," said Curtin. "Learning how to hand screen print on the bags was important and hard. It gives a really nice texture and they look fantastic and detailed to show off the art."

Much of Rhetoric's artwork has so far come from Chicago artist Jonathan La Mantia, and it has recently commissioned new work from local graffiti artist Nite Owl. Screen-printing takes place in Parrish's garage in Oakland, which also functions as Rhetoric's office.
Like its artwork, Rhetoric Coffee is expanding slowly and deliberately. For now, its coffee is available to the public only through its subscription service; coffee comes in eight-, 12- and 16- ounce bags ($14.75 to $20) every two weeks. Rhetoric also offers wholesale and office delivery.
"We're completely bootstrapped from our customers," said Curtin. Those customers are growing, through word of mouth advertising, music festival giveaways, and podcast advertising. One future customer? Curtin's son: "He's turning three! He's anxious to grow up and drink coffee."

If I had an extra hour I would ______? "Fall back" into happiness
We're granted an extra hour of daylight every fall, use it or lose it! Take those 60 precious minutes in Pennsylvania and explore the great outdoors, bask in the crisp fall air, or maybe do a little shopping. The clock is ticking, let's go!
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
Make a trip to the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh to see the Fall Flower Show: Japanese Inspirations which employs the Japanese traditions and inspirations of peace and harmony. Also, now through Nov. 10, Phipps' famous chrysanthemums are highlighted among the rich fall colors, floating lanterns, and origami laced throughout the breathtaking displays. During this show, crafts and activities are available for children while a Japanese festival honoring the Autumn moon is offered for anyone interested in soaking in Eastern culture.
Turning Back Time to Shop
Get a head start on finding the perfect holiday gifts for friends and family by making a trip to downtown Indiana and shop your way through the small business community. You could also take a drive through Amish country to the charming community of Smicksburg where you'll find more than 20 specialty shops selling unique items as well as several pottery studios with one of a kind handmade pieces including country crafts, quilts, furniture, and foods.
Mount Airy Casino
Spend that extra hour at Pennsylvania's first AAA Four Diamond Award winner nine years running - Mount Airy Casino Resort in the Pocono Mountains. Every minute is a thrill with more than 70 table games, ranging from blackjack, craps, roulette, and Baccarat and more than 1,800 slots. Not feeling lucky? Recharge in the resort's first-class spa and salon!
Take a stroll along the historical boardwalk at Conneaut Lake Park or just relax on the beach next to a warm bonfire. One not enough? Crawford County has eight lakes to explore and maybe take the last hour of the day to catch a gorgeous sunset.
Rickett's Glen State Park
Hike up as water comes down at Rickett's Glen's Waterfall Trail. While you might need more than an hour the 21 stunning waterfalls ranging from 11 feet to an impressive 94 feet will not disappoint. It's a sight to see!
Big Wheels Turning
Make sure you bring a hybrid or mountain bike when making your trek along the D+H Rail Trail which stretches from Carbondale to the New York border. The 38-mile trail is comprised of cinder, original ballast, and hard-packed dirt. The trail parallels the Lackawanna River for several miles, offering scenic vistas of the river and several small lakes. Stop in Thompson at Rooney's Ice Cream, who has been dishing it up in an old train station since 1933.
Hot Damn Dams
Allegheny National Forest
As evening begins to creep into day, the darker early mornings provide a prime opportunity to view one of the Allegheny National Forest's fascinating beaver dams. Start your trek from the village of Kane, Pennsylvania, along Route 321 until you reach a sign for the North Country Trail on the left, then pull in at the trailhead and hike into the forest just before dusk to view what these dedicated little workers have built.
A Civil Drink, Or Two
Gettysburg is known for history and Adams County is known for apples, but is winning the battle on the wine, cider, beer and spirits world.

Mazda 2 2012 ancap rating
Mazda 2 2012 ancap rating. ANCAP Five Stars For Mazda CX 2019-02-13
Wednesday, February 13, 2019 2:43:51 AM Avery
2012 Mazda Mazda2 Expert Reviews, Specs and Photos
They are typically for the first couple of years of ownership of a new car. However, recent advances in automotive technology have seen new cars fitted with advanced safety assist technologies that can actively help drivers avoid a collision. The Mazda2 is a fun to drive runabout with excellent fuel economy, responsive steering and a usable rear seat -- despite the car's modest dimensions. While the manual transmission would be the top choice for driving fun, we did get a chance to try the automatic and found that it was more-than-capable around town and on the freeway. The passenger compartment held its shape well. The 2012 Mazda2 might be the most fun you can have with a 100 horsepower engine.
What does the crash testing process involve? This 5-star rating applies to all hatch and sedan variants with 6 airbags and electronic stability control. Touring models add a few more accessories like a chrome exhaust tip, fog lights, 15-inch alloy wheels, trip computer, hatch spoiler, cruise control, steering wheel audio controls, and more. Low speed Auto Emergency Braking is a vehicle safety technology has the potential to prevent a crash or reduce the impact speed of a crash. Exterior Thanks to an arcing black garnish atop the air dam, the Mazda2 carries the smiling expression Mazda has affixed to most of its cars. All doors remained closed during the crash. The Mazda2 comes in Sport and Touring trim levels.
In addition to that, the side barrier test now uses a larger, heavier impactor and the side pole test is a tougher, oblique-angle impact. Pedestrian Auto Emergency Braking is a vehicle safety technology has the potential to prevent a crash or reduce the impact speed of a crash. On the outside, the higher trim level includes a rear roof spoiler, fog lights, chrome exhaust tip and alloy wheels. Ride comfort and noise levels are tolerable, but the front seats aren't supportive and amenities are sparse. What other services could be included in a warranty? Models with the automatic transmission can be rather slow. The Mazda2 is a bit more sporty and full of Zoom Zoom! The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test.

We can also provide you with general advice and factual information on about a range of other products, services and providers. Extra weight is given to the more serious areas such as major engine or transmission problems. Ratings are estimated from data on real crashes reported to police in Australia and New Zealand and provide a very high level of confidence. Some automakers also bundle seat belts and airbags into their powertrain warranties. The results are presented relative to the average model that year. A, she… It's still small.
The brake pedal moved rearwards by 45mm and upwards 17mm. Reliability History Reliability History The reliability charts are based on responses on hundreds of thousands of vehicles from our latest Annual Auto Survey. The Mazda2 comes in Sport and Touring trim levels. New for 2012 Mazda2s with the automatic transmission get slightly better gas mileage for 2012; otherwise, there are no significant changes. We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad based comparison service.
The steering wheel hub moved 4mm forward, 26mm upward and 10mm sideways. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria. Plan your passing maneuvers accordingly. The Honda Fit is a major Mazda2 competitor, as are a host of other small cars, from the Ford Fiesta and Chevy Sonic to the Toyota Yaris. Its light weight 2269 pounds and weighty electronically assisted steering give the manual transmission-equipped car an unexpected cornering athleticism.
Car Safety Ratings Guide: Find your car's ANCAP Rating
Mazda brought over the 2012 Mazda2 to take on the likes to the Nissan Versa and Honda Fit. Important note: The left-hand-drive European model with 1. Although we cover a wide range of products, providers and services we don't cover every product, provider or service available in the market so there may be other options available to you. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire faster than powertrain warranties. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. And, while some rivals, including the Chevy Sonic and Kia Rio5, may offer more horsepower and more modern automatic transmissions, they don't have the same fun-to-drive feel of the 2012 Mazda2.
Here in America we think bigger is better. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats. This provides better protection than a two point seat belt. Most of the tests have revised their assessment protocols and made them more stringent for 2018. New for 2012 Mazda2s with the automatic transmission get slightly better gas mileage for 2012; otherwise, there are no significant changes.

St. Xavier High School will begin drug testing students next school year
Updated: 2:39 PM EST Feb 27, 2019
St. Xavier High School is implementing mandatory drug testing next school year. The school will implement random drug testing to its wellness program, following the lead of other Catholic schools across the country. The new program will begin at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year."We believe now is the time to start this wellness initiative because of the growing threat of drugs and alcohol to adolescents," Principal Terry Tyrrell said, in part, in a statement. "This program gives students an easy reason to say no because they know they will be tested."The tests will be conducted by an organization called Psychemedics, which also does testing for hundreds of other schools and colleges. The school will test hair samples of its students, saying that testing hair offers greater detection than other methods -- such as analyzing body fluids like urine or saliva. Many drugs are undetectable in urine as soon as 72 hours after use, whereas they can be detected in hair samples for 90 days after ingestion. School officials said there is no evidence of widespread substance abuse among the current body.

Misato and her daughter Coco make Tokyo's Harajuku their stomping ground, where the family owned thrift store Funktique Tokyo is based. Thanks to Misato, Coco dresses with such versatility and edge-filled finesse that she has become more of a buzz in the Insta-fashion sphere than influencers twice her age.
On one day she'll be a mini Virgil Abloh shaped dream in Off-White, vans, and micro-sunnies, the next a throwback mascot to the 90s Clueless era.
AW18 cemented Cindy Crawford's mini-me daughter, Kaia Gerber, as 2018's darling of the runway. She's just landed her first Chanel campaign, and walked for the likes of Miu Miu, Alexander Wang and Tom Ford in the recent bout of fashion weeks. Cindy and Kaia are often spotted in fresh-off-the-runway looks, and we're impressed by Kaia's transition from California-preppy to cutting edge.

Q: Capture syslog for test cases I'm writing a command line tool in C++, that - depending on a --logfile argument - logs either to syslog or to the given file. I would like to test this feature (using googletest).
For testing the file part, I run the MyApp::main() function with and without the --logfile argument and test that log messages appear or don't appear in the file.
Is there a way to test the same for the syslog? I could read /var/log/syslog and hope for the best, but that wouldn't be very portable, since many systems keep the syslog somewhere else.
I'm using a logging library that doesn't offer mocking, so that isn't an option. They internally use a call to the syslog daemon (man(3) syslog). Is there a portable way to get the syslog from this daemon? Or from somewhere else?

A:
I'm using a logging library that doesn't offer mocking,

So at some point you are calling library-function which is writing to the syslog. This is where you're mocking needs to take place. Under X condition library-function get's call once with the following parameters... ext.
Generally I have found in testing when you have a situation where A -> B -> C, Where A is the code you're writing, B is a third party library, and C is the output, you can only test that you are interacting with B appropriately and can't test C.
When using a third party chunk of code, you're essentially trusting it to do what it says it does (unless it's open source and you write tests for their code base).

A: You could use library preloading (LD_PRELOAD) to cause your program to invoke syslog in a library you provide rather than the system syslog. Your implementation could then log to a file under your control that you could subsequently check.

As one of the 7 categories of Additive manufacturing processes, Directed Energy Deposition (DED) forms 3D objects by melting material as it is being deposited. This technology also often referred to as "Metal Deposition" can be used for any material although predominantly used to create metal parts. It was developed by Sandia National Laboratories in 1995 under the name of LENS (Laser Engineering Net Shape) and then was commercialized by Optomec Design Company.

UPDATE: Higher court to decide Johnthony Walker's sentence
Johnthony Walker, the driver charged in the Woodmore bus crash was back in court Monday.

UPDATE: A former school bus driver is calling on a higher court to review his sentence, in hopes of spending less time behind bars.
Johnthony Walker was sentenced to four years in prison for causing the 2016 crash that killed six Woodmore Elementary School students.
The new developments during Monday's hearing show even though the trial ended, this case is far from over.
Walker's attorney, Amanda Dunn, said the 25-year-old's sentence should be reconsidered after she said she discovered pending charges against a witness were dropped before she testified against her client.
Dunn argues she would have questioned the witness's credibility if she had known earlier.
Prosecutors now want TBI agents to look into how information about those expunged cases were made public.
A spokesperson for the TBI says the investigation is active and ongoing.
A judge denied the request to reduce Walker sentence saying he believes the crash was caused by speeding.
It will now be up to an appellate court to decide if the sentence is too harsh.
Until then, Walker remains out of jail on house arrest.
We'll let you know what happens.
PREVIOUS STORY: Johnthony Walker, the driver charged in the Woodmore bus crash is back in court Monday.
Judge Don Poole will be hearing the defense's motion to reduce Walker's sentence.

This statement could apply to things as varied as cooking or science or pregnancy.
What Bob is referring to is serendipity. I love that word.
Serendipity means an unplanned, fortuitous discovery.
The term was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. In a letter he wrote to his friend Horace Mann, Walpole explained an unexpected discovery he had made about a (lost) painting of Bianca Cappello by Giorgio Vasari by reference to a Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip. The princes, he told his correspondent, were "always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of".
The notion of serendipity is a common occurrence throughout the history of scientific innovation. Examples are Alexander Fleming's accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928, the invention of the microwave oven by Percy Spencer in 1945, and the invention of the Post-it note by Spencer Silver in 1968.
Now think about this: Who was the first person curious enough about the solidified yellow mass left in that cow's stomach bota bag to take a bite and discover cheese? That's Serendipity! What would the world be like today without cheese? No cheeseburgers. No pizza. No grilled cheese sandwiches. No mac and cheese. No Brie, or Cheddar or Provolone. It would be a darker world indeed.
It shows up in art too.
Sometimes you have to loosen up, take chances with your work and allow those fantastic boo-boos to happen. I appreciate when some error in a painting turns out to be a brilliant addition to it. The colors blend in a different way; the brush strokes work a special magic; the paint dries in an unexpected texture. There is that moment of wonder with wide eyes and open mouth, thinking "wow, how did that happen?" That's serendipity.
Serendipity doesn't show up very often, but if we wait patiently and allow for it to happen we will see it around us in our lives.
That just makes serendipity more remarkable. Watch it show up for you when you least expect it.

A total of 2,506 candidates were registered to write CXC (CSEC) examinations in May–June 2017, out of which 1,491 were females and 1,014 were males. A total of 1,861 were candidates attending school, while 645 were private candidates. There were 11,994 subject entries.
The pass rate in the examination is 67.36%. In 2016, the pass rate was 69.78% and 70.8% in 2015. The largest entries were in English A (1,702), Mathematics (1,530), Social Studies (916), Principles of Business (654) and Information Technology (594). The lowest entries were in Theatre Arts (7), Industrial Technology Mechanical (11), Additional Mathematics (34), Religious Education (62) and Visual Arts (125).
The subjects with the highest percentage pass were: Theatre Arts (100%) Physical Education and Sport (99.44%), Principles of Business (93.33%), Electronic Document Preparation and Management (93.24%), Family and Resource Management (91.26%), Industrial Technology Electrical (90.92%), Food, Nutrition and Health (90.42%) and Technical Drawing (90.27%).
The subjects with the lowest percentage pass were: Mathematics (35.61%), English B (52.04%), French (53.89%), Industrial Technology Mechanical (54.55%) and Geography (56.84%). Performance in Mathematics declined from 38.23% pass in 2016 to 35.61% pass in 2017. Performance in English A declined from 64.36% pass in 2016 to 56.89% pass in 2017.
Performances in Chemistry increased by 0.45%. Performance in Physics and Biology declined in 2017. Table 1 shows a comparison of the percentage pass rate in these areas for 2015, 2016 and 2017.
NB: The Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development has not yet received the preliminary slips for individual candidates from the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC). Therefore, candidates will have to collect their slips next week when they are received.
However, candidates can access their results electronically on CXC's website from 10 pm on 18 August 2017. Candidates must have their student identification number to access their results.
Neither the quality of teaching nor that of the students over the Caribbean fluctuates violently like the pass-rates are showing.
On the other hand exams can easily fluctuate in terms of the difficulty to complete all of the tasks in the time available. More easy questions push the pass-rate up, more harder or longer to complete questions push the pass-rate down.
It;s time to change to a system of fixed % pass-rates for each level so that exam difficulty variation drops out of the picture.
Such a system exists in New Zealand and works very well and its students do very well in International Comparisons.

DCeased #6 Review
A heartless story comes to a heartfelt conclusion.
Christopher Franey
Just in time for Halloween comes one of the darkest tales of the DC Universe. Well, while this isn't billed as an Elseworlds or a Tales from the Dark Multiverse, it still isn't the main DC Universe. Thankfully so, because this story plays for keeps, as Tom Taylor does with his stories. Tom does such a great job of finding the essence of a character and giving them moments that count. I have to say that I am very happy with the conclusion of this mini-series, because sometimes we get stories that just don't stick the landing. Let us jump into the issue and pity the dead. SPOILERS AHEAD!
DCeased #6, DC Comics
Right off the bat, Tom Taylor hits us hard with the emotions. I mean, who doesn't get excited when they hear the phrase, "Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?" But if you remember, in issue #5, we just lost Superman and Tom reminds us of Superman's greatest power…to fill people with hope. This opener goes to show just how scary and fatal it will be to see that famous S logo now attached to an infected Superman. And this is just the first page…wow! This gets us to think and understand just how lethal the Anti-Life Equation is — honestly, before this story, the "ALE" just didn't have any impact on me, but now I get it.
We get to see conclusions for characters that have been a part of the story here, as well. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have a nice moment explaining why they choose to stay on Earth, very beautiful and endearing to their relationship. Black Canary as a Green Lantern was a great idea and I like how she combines her two powers in this issue. Mera lives to see a horrible attack by an infected Aquaman and Atlantean Army bring a Kraken to Paradise Island, but survives and makes it to the Arks. We bear witness to the last stand of the Amazons as they hold off Apocalypse from Paradise; it was a brutal battle, but some very honorable moments for the Amazon Warriors. Yet Wonder Woman herself has a hard fate bestowed upon her. I won't spoil the Kent family parts of this issue, but when you do find out what happens to them it will make Lois's narration that much more heavy.
The moment between Cyborg and Wonder Woman was so intense; a great representation of the Alpha vs the Omega. We know from the start of this mini-series that Cyborg is the carrier of the virus, but now it has taken Wonder Woman. Cyborg's use of the Lasso of Truth was brilliant and he starts questioning the infected Wonder Woman and learns some harsh truths, which I'll leave you to read inside this issue and be shocked yourself. It's a beautiful scene with some deep philosophy — once again, a major shoutout to Trevor Hairsine and also Neil Edwards and Stefano Guadiano for the amazing art that they all brought to this finale. They manage to make the moments cut that much deeper because of the emotions they bestow on their character images. The backgrounds also really show just how much the cost is to this infected world.
Now that this series is done, I would highly recommend that you sit down and read as a whole. Experiencing all six issue and the one-shot as one book will make it hit that much harder now that shipping and wait time are no longer factors. Thank you to the creative talent involved in this blockbuster mini-series, as it was a surprise hit!
DCeased #6
This issue, conclusion, and mini-series was fantastic! Such a great shot in the dark that hit a target we didn't even know was there. Such emotions and great character with a conclusion that is just phenomenal. Get this issue and the rest of the mini...plus the one shot!
Tom Taylor really puts the characters in some tough situations and forces them to face them head on
The art team as always delivers images that just bring forth emotions and hammer home the loss
A conclusion that sticks the landing, making this miniseries so worth it!
As far as we know, it is over

We spent today exploring Bratislava. Because today is Monday no museums are open. That didn't stop us from having fun. We climbed up to the castle that overlooks Bratislava.
The view of the Danube from the top is great.
Bratislava has some wonderful statues.
Here is Hans Christian Andersen.
We ate dinner in our hotel.


Birgitt: Thank you, Alex, for coming to California last week for the Festival of Genomics. People at the conference were very inspired by your story and that you put yourself out there despite having Parkinson's disease.
Alex: It was good being in San Francisco. Thanks again to our sponsors Thermo Fisher and the organizers of the meeting to make this happen. What are you up to?
Birgitt: As I pointed out at the meeting, I am planning to write about your genetic make-up and potential factors that might predispose you to Parkinson's disease. But today I will share with you how to make neurons from your skin-derived stem cells.
Alex: Would it be possible to transplant these neurons back into my brain and replace the neurons that are gone?
Birgitt: In principle, yes, that is an approach many research laboratories are working on. But to make cells safe for human use, they have to be handled under special good manufacturing practices, which means for example that cells cannot come in contact with any animal products. Your cells have been grown for research purposes only.
Alex: Got it, makes sense.
Birgitt: Here is a timeline that shows the neuronal differentiation from pluripotent stem cells over an intermediate stage of neural stem or progenitor cells, which take about 10-12 days and then 20-30 days for maturation into neurons.
Alex: I am quite amazed that this is possible and the potential for drug discovery these cell cultures have. I really hope this will lead to faster discoveries and validation of novel compounds in the future.
Birgitt: That is exactly the concept and idea behind developing these models. Here you can see how your neurons look after about 30 days differentiation. The blue dots are cell bodies and in green you see the processes of the neurons.
Alex: Incredible and really beautiful. Are these really my neurons? I wonder what they are thinking about.
Birgitt: I am sure they want cure for Parkinson's disease.
Alex: And so do I!
Alex: The Festival of Genomics in San Mateo/San Francisco is getting closer (http://www.festivalofgenomicscalifornia.com/). I am really looking forward to visit San Francisco and be on stage with you on November 5th, 2015 at 3p.m. at the San Mateo Event Center, CA discussing what really matters to conquer Parkinson's disease.
Birgitt: I am excited as well. I am thankful to be invited by the organizers and that you received sponsorship from Thermo Fisher Scientific for your trip (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home.html).
Alex: BIG THANKS from me as well! The support is very much appreciated.
Birgitt: We will meet you at the conference. We will talk about Parkinson's disease from Alex's perspective as a patient and my view as a scientist and how we can work together to make change happen for people with this disease.
Alex: Let's hope El Niño hasn't started yet. See you in a couple of weeks. BTW: what is the attire for the meeting? California casual?
In the last post we discussed the potential for stem cells to be pluripotent, and which steps need to be taken to test for their pluripotency. In this post, we will explain to Alex how his pluripotent stem cells are transformed into neural stem cells.
Alex: We should talk more often. It is very interesting to learn about the science and potential implications for new therapies. I am excited to learn about the transformation of my stem cells into nerve cells. Tell me, what are neural stem cells?
Birgitt: Neural stem cells are the precursor cells of the brain. They can differentiate into multiple cell types such as nerve cells and cells that support neurons which are called glia cells. They are the stem cells of the central nervous system. Even in the adult brain, we can find neural stem cells. Recent studies have shown that physical exercise helps with the regeneration of neural stem cells. So, keep moving!
Alex: I am running and keep moving, that's my motto. It helps a lot with my Parkinson's. What is the concept behind the transformation into neural stem cells?
Birgitt: To understand cell differentiation one must understand the concept of the three germ layer. A germ layer is a group of cells that interacts with one another to create organs and tissues. Humans have three germ layers: the inner layer (endoderm), the middle layer (mesoderm), and the outer layer (ectoderm). Each one of these layers is responsible for creating different tissues of the human body. Nerve cells are derived from the outer layer. In the culture of your induced pluripotent stem cells, we promote the preferential growth of the outer layer cells and suppress the mesoderm and endoderm layers using specific small molecules and proteins in the cell culture media.
Alex: Fascinating, there is indeed more than meets the eye in this process.
Birgitt: Well, the process to transform stem cell into neurons or neural precursor cells has been a tedious and lengthy procedure in the past. However, newer protocols allow us to circumvent several difficulties, and has made the transformation much faster. One procedure in particular has made it possible for pluripotent stem cells to be turned into neural stem cells in only seven to ten days. You can see your stem cells at day 2 and day 6 during the neural induction in the next two images.
Alex: Interesting. On the next two images below, my cells look completely different and I can see individual cells, almost like my skin cells.
Birgitt: Exactly, after seven days and one enzymatic treatment to divide the cells, the cells grow in a single layer. They look similar to skin cells, but have a rounder body and a few small processes. The images below are in two different magnifications, the first one is an overview and then a close-up. Looking good!
Alex: And after that? These are not the dopaminergic neurons that are dying in my brain. I assume there is another step or steps?
Birgitt: Right on, the neural stem cells can be further differentiated into different types of neurons or glia through several different processes. Many research labs develop protocols to make all kinds of different cells of the brain, such as cortical neurons, inhibitory GABAergic neurons, dopaminergic neurons, Purkinje cells, and motor neurons as well as glia cells like astrocytes or oligodendrocytes. The methods for differentiating all these types of neurons can require extended periods of time (up to several months).
Alex: How long does it take to make dopaminergic neurons?
Birgitt: It takes about 4-8 weeks to have fully mature dopaminergic neurons. A long way to go and it needs passion, endurance, and commitment, just as running a marathon. Will talk about them in the next blogs.
Alex: Thanks so much, as always, fascinating and it gives me hope that this research will -some day, hopefully soon- change the lives of people with Parkinson's disease.

Are Web logs more fizzle than sizzle? A recent study by Perseus Development, a research firm and maker of software for surveys, finds that fully 66 percent of the 4.12 million blogs, or online journals, created on eight leading blog-hosting services have been ''abandoned'' -- that is, not updated for at least two months. And 1.09 million of those were one-day wonders.
The study went on to puncture other bits of common wisdom about blogs, like the frequency with which they are updated. Fewer than 50,000 of the sites in the study were updated every day. As for the notion that most blogs comment on the news, only 9.9 percent had a main-page posting that linked to a traditional news site. Perhaps most biting, the study found that the typical blog is written by a teenage girl who uses it twice a month to update her friends. Are blogs just that old friend from the 90's, the Web diary, dressed up in new tools?
The answer is yes and no. Perseus itself offers some significant caveats to its study. For one, only blogs on blog-hosting services like LiveJournal were studied. Blogs maintained by individuals on their own servers were not included, and one could argue that the most influential blogs fall in that category.
ScanMe (planetwide.net) is an e-mail service available only in Australia and has just a dozen customers.
So why write about it? Because it's mail-forwarding with a twist: if you redirect your physical mail to ScanMe, it will scan the documents, e-mail the scans to you and store the originals.
The service was started last month by Richard Uren, an Australian information technology specialist, after a yearlong trip to Europe. ''My mail was redirected to my mother's place during my stint overseas,'' he said by e-mail. ''There was piles and piles of mail -- overdue notices, reminders, bills, letters from friends.'' Imagine if he had been able to gain access to his mail whenever he wanted from any PC with a Net connection.
ScanMe costs about $9 a month, with a one-time set up fee of about $23. While frequent travelers and people who relocate often are expected to be the primary customers, Mr. Uren also cites those who live in rural areas where mail is delivered only once or twice a week.
Mark Robertson, a musician from Brisbane, was one of the first to sign up for the service and plans to continue with it indefinitely. Since he is by nature and profession ''highly disorganized and rather transient,'' he said by e-mail, ''ScanMe just makes things easier.'' He added that he had no privacy concerns about the service.
This idea may make sense for many people in our culture of dislocation. For instance, I found a similar service at mail.ttkbharatplanet.com for Indian expatriates who want to receive mail faster and more regularly from relatives and friends back home.
It's a rather quixotic notion: an online database of millions of photos indexed by location, submitted mostly by amateur photographers.
That's the gist of the World Wide Media Exchange (wwmx.org), an experimental project from Microsoft Research's Interactive Visual Media Group. Though it was announced only last month, the exchange already holds more than 20,000 photos.
''We see two trends coming together,'' said Kentaro Toyama, the project's lead research scientist. ''There's the sociological trend where people feel like they want to post everything they do online. Then there are the technological advances that allow people to always be aware of their geographic location,'' like G.P.S. devices.
Visitors to the site can enter a location and call up a map with red dots indicating locations for which photos exist. The larger the dot, the more photos available. Anyone can submit a photo or comment on one.
Why would people search for photos by location? There are obvious applications in the travel, real estate, art and media sectors. Mr. Toyama also cites the possibility of ego gratification: since you can search by time and date stamp as well as location, you can see if you are in the background of photos submitted by others who were at the same place at the same time.

Just before 10 a.m. on Friday morning (Jan. 26) a car traveling southbound on 8th street was hit by a different vehicle that was traveling east on Bowen Ave.
The vehicle that was traveling southbound had just previously been stolen from the 2600 block of Rosser Avenue by the 22 year old female. The female following the accident fled the scene on foot before ultimately being apprehended by police near the Kirkwood Mall. She was taken to the hospital and was then taken to the Burleigh-Morton Detention Center.
The vehicle traveling eastbound was driven by a 62 year old man from Minnesota. He had two passengers in his car both in their 80s. All were taken to a local hospital for minor injuries.


We love to see other creatives diving into steampunk, and we love it when they are ambitious.
Steampunk has a lot of fashion, literature and music. What it really hasn't had is much in the way of the moving picture. Costs are high, but there are stories to tell.
So today we bring to your attention, The Forge Studio's ambitious project Outlawed Faith. Wild West steampunk in space. Check out their concept short.
The rewards available for backers include posters, the soundtrack and the chance to be an extra in the production. Plenty to be excited about.
In 2014 the Tor Forge had a very successful Kickstarter for their project, the Rangers. We here at the Ministry would certainly like to see what they can do with the steampunk genre.
Go check out their Kickstarter page and back some independent filmaking in our genre.


Hi there! I absolutely love this plugin! I'm very new to it however and I have hit a wall. I've got my galleries done, I installed the albums extension which I was thrilled to find but now I've hit a wall. When I click the album on the gallery page I want it to just pop open the lightbox for that image not go to the page itself. Like the homepage of your plugin site. I can't see where I can do that but I'm sure it's doable! The lightboxes are set for each gallery and are working.
The topic 'Link the Album to the Lightbox' is closed to new replies.
