The disruption of the junctions that keep blood vessel cells tightly attached may contribute to the lack of saliva and the high infiltration of immune cells in the salivary glands in Sjogren's syndrome, a mouse study suggests.
The study, "Disruption of endothelial barrier function is linked with hyposecretion and lymphocytic infiltration in salivary glands of Sjögren's syndrome," conducted by researchers at the Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology in Beijing, was published in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) – Molecular Basis of Disease.
Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by an abnormal infiltration and accumulation of immune cells inside some glands, leading to tissue inflammation and eventually irreparable damage.
The most common targets of the disease are the glands producing saliva and tears, and in many cases, patients experience dry eyes and dry mouth.
The production of saliva also relies on basic components that are transported in the blood and, consequently, on the permeability of blood vessels — the ability of blood vessels to allow substances to pass through them.
This is controlled by structures on the surface of cells from the blood vessel walls (endothelial cells) that enable them to remain tightly attached to each other, called endothelial tight junctions (TJs).
Although previous studies suggested that TJs can suffer significant alterations in the context of inflammation, so far it's been unknown whether these structures could play a role in the development of Sjogren's syndrome.
In this study, researchers analyzed the structure and function of endothelial TJs in the submandibular glands (SMGs) of mice with Sjogren's using transmission electron microscopy and the paracellular permeability assay, respectively.
For the paracellular permeability assay, investigators injected a fluorescent molecule into the mice's blood and imaged the SMGs under a microscope to detect the amount of fluorescent dye that managed to pass through the blood vessels into the submandibular glands.
The team also performed another technique called adoptive lymphocyte transfer, where they injected fluorescent lymphocytes — a kind of immune cell — into the blood and followed them as they infiltrated into the tissues.
At the same time, investigators monitored the distribution and levels of claudin-5, one of the main components of endothelial TJs.
First, they found that the production and secretion of saliva gradually decreased as lymphocyte infiltration increased in the SMGs of mice ages 12 and 21 weeks. This did not occur in younger mice that were 7 weeks old.
Morphologically, blood vessels were dilated and the width of endothelial TJs was abnormally increased. While the levels of claudin-5 were higher — suggesting stronger tight junctions — researchers actually found that the molecule suffered a relocalization, resulting in increased permeability.
The modifications in expression levels and distribution of claudin-5 were also present in samples of labial salivary glands and bilateral parotid glands from Sjogren's syndrome patients, confirming the previous findings obtained in aging mice.
These findings suggest that the disruption of endothelial TJs — potentially caused by the abnormal expression levels and redistribution of claudin-5 — contributes to lymphocyte infiltration and low salivary secretion in animal models and patients with Sjogren's syndrome.
"Our findings provide new insights into [Sjogren's syndrome] pathogenesis that involves the great importance of endothelial TJ barrier in hyposecretion," the investigators wrote.

William Anderson (1805–1866) was a Scottish miscellaneous writer in  the  departments  of  history, biography,  and  science. He was born at Edinburgh and educated there, and placed in a lawyer's office.  As an author he published Poetical  Aspirations; Landscape Lyrics; Popular  Scottish  Biography; Treasury of Nature, Science, and Art and an  extensive work widely known as The  Scottish Nation. He also assisted for some time in managing Aberdeen Journal,
Witness, and Daily Mail newspapers. He died, aged 61.

Biography
Anderson was born in Edinburgh 10 December 1805. His father was supervisor of excise at Oban, and his mother the daughter of John Williams, author of the 'Natural History of the Mineral Kingdom.' He was thus a younger brother of John Anderson (genealogist, 1789–1832), the historian of the house of Hamilton. After receiving a good education in Edinburgh he became clerk to a Leith merchant, but subsequently entered a lawyer's office in Edinburgh. At an early period he began to contribute to the newspapers, and in 1830 published a volume of verse, entitled 'Poetical Aspirations,' which reached a second edition in 1833. This was followed by a volume of prose and verse, entitled 'Odd Sketches.' After a short residence in London in 1831 he obtained a situation on the 'Aberdeen Journal.'

In 1836 he returned to London, where he formed a rather extensive literary connection, and in 1839 brought out the 'Gift of all Nations,' an annual which numbered among its contributors Thomas Campbell, Sheridan Knowles, the Countess of Blessington, and Miss Pardoe. In the same year he also published 'Landscape Lyrics,' which reached a second edition in 1854. In 1842 he became editor of the 'Western Watchman,' a weekly newspaper published at Ayr; in 1844 he was chosen subeditor of the 'Edinburgh Witness,' which, although the articles of Hugh Miller had secured it a wide circulation, had hitherto been subedited in a very perfunctory manner; and in 1845 he became the chief subeditor of the 'Glasgow Daily Mail,' the first daily newspaper published in Scotland.

On account of the serious effects on his health of severe night labour, he was two years afterwards compelled for a time to abandon literary work, and he never formed any subsequent connection with a newspaper. With the exception of a volume of 'Poems' published in 1845, and the 'Young Voyager,' 1855, a poem descriptive of the search after Sir John Franklin, and intended for juvenile readers, the remaining works of Anderson are of the nature chiefly of popular compilations. They include an edition of the 'Works of Lord Byron,' with a life and notes, 1850; the 'Poems and Songs of R. Gilfillan,' with a memoir, 1851; and a 'Treasury' series, embracing the 'Treasury of Discovery,' 1853; of the 'Animal World,' 1854; of 'Manners,' 1855; of 'History,' 1856; and of 'Nature,' 1857. Of a somewhat higher character than these compilations are the 'Scottish Nation,' 1859–63, an expansion of his 'Popular Scottish Biography' published in 1842; and 'Genealogy and Surnames,' 1865. The 'Scottish Nation,' though diffuse and ill arranged, displays great industry and a minute acquaintance with Scottish family history; while 'Genealogy and Surnames,' amid much that is commonplace, contains some curious information not easily accessible elsewhere.

He died suddenly at London 2 August 1866.

Zapp & Roger Phrase match
Zapp & Roger — All The Greatest Hits (neon half & half colored vinyl pressing) ... LP
Warner/Reprise, Early 80s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $33.99 34.99
The true heroes of mainstream funk in the early 80s – the legendary Roger Troutman and Zapp – key heirs to the sounds of P-Funk in the 70s, with a groove that stretched all the way from their native Ohio to make a huge impact in LA! This collection features most of the group's key tracks from their Warner albums of the early 80s, plus some added remixes done in 1993 for the package – and together, the combination of styles helped to make this a record that's sold as well as any of the original albums in the group's catalog! Titles include "More Bounce To The Ounce", "Be Alright", "Do It Roger", "Doo Wa Ditty (Blow That Thing)", "So Ruff So Tuff", "Dance Floor", "Heartbreaker (parts 1 & 2)", "Slow & Easy", "Mega Medley", and "Computer Love" – plus 1993 remixes of "Midnight Hour", "Curiosity", and "Night & Day". LP, Vinyl record album
(Pink/orange & violet/magenta vinyl pressing!)
Roger (Roger Troutman) — Many Facets Of Roger ... LP
Warner, 1981. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
There's many facets of Roger – and they're all pretty darn funky! From this vantage point, all we can think of is that Roger Troutman must have had some sort of crystal ball to see into the hip hop sampling future – either that, or he was busy cooking up west coast gangster funk drones in some secret So Cal laboratory! Whatever the case, though, the record's a classic in the Troutman/Zapp catalog – and features a sparkling west coast take on electro – offered up with lots of popping basslines, snapping electric kickdrums, and a truckfull of vocoder! There's also some pretty nice guitar in the mix – especially on the good jazzy groover "Chunk Of Sugar", which sounds like it's from a completely different record. Other tracks include "Maxx Axe", "Do It Roger", "So Ruff, So Tuff", and "Blue". LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear, a cutout notch and a lightly bent corner.)
Roger (Roger Troutman) — Unlimited! ... LP
Reprise, 1987. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Plenty of beats here from Roger Troutman – going for a sound that's maybe even more electro than some of his earlier solo work, at a level that really seems to be pushing the Zapp sound further for the 80s! The style is funky, but touched with lots of elements that have wended their way from indie hip hop up to mainstream soul – all at a level that later acts might fuse together with a bit more warmth, but which still has the starker feel of electro soul in Troutman's hands. Titles include "Thrill Seekers", "I Want To Be You Man", "I Really Want to Be You Man", "Night & Day", and "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag". LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout notch, but is otherwise in nice shape!)
Zapp — New Zapp IV U ... CD
Warner, 1985. Used ... $6.99
Zapp at the height of their powers – a bit more focused than before, but every bit as funky! Roger's production here is impeccable – done with a great ear for the most soulful side of the group's talents, which keeps them far from some of the more commercial groups who were copping their vibe, but never got things right. Great proof of this is the mellow cut "Computer Love" – a slow stepper that has the group showing their sweeter side, but never losing their cool – a bit like some of the best Fatback ballads of the early 80s. Other cuts are mostly funky – filled with tight basslines, keyboards, and electro bits – and tunes include "It Doesn't Really Matter", "Radio People", "Rock N Roll", "Make Me Feel Good", and "Ja Ready To Rock". CD
Also available New Zapp IV U ... LP 24.99
Zapp — New Zapp IV U ... LP
Warner, 1985. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Zapp at the height of their powers – a bit more focused than before, but every bit as funky! Roger's production here is impeccable – done with a great ear for the most soulful side of the group's talents, which keeps them far from some of the more commercial groups who were copping their vibe, but never got things right. Great proof of this is the mellow cut "Computer Love" – a slow stepper that has the group showing their sweeter side, but never losing their cool – a bit like some of the best Fatback ballads of the early 80s. Other cuts are mostly funky – filled with tight basslines, keyboards, and electro bits – and tunes include "It Doesn't Really Matter", "Radio People", "Rock N Roll", "Make Me Feel Good", and "Ja Ready To Rock". LP, Vinyl record album
(Label has initials in marker. Cover has some wear and aging.)
Also available New Zapp IV U ... CD 6.99
Zapp — Zapp III ... LP
Zapp's 3rd album, and one that shows them still very much on top of their game! The mix of tight bass, keyboards, and occasional vocoder bits is firmly in place from their first two albums – a stunning legacy of ensemble funk that pushes the older P-Funk ethos into hip new territory for the 80s! Roger and crew are superb throughout – fusing all rhythmic elements together beautifully, and electrifying the whole album with some great voice box vocals – almost making you feel like the instruments themselves are running the show! Titles include "We Need The Buck", "Spend My Whole Life", "I Can Make You Dance", "Do Wa Ditty (live)", "Play Some Blues", and "Heartbreaker (parts 1 & 2)". LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Vinyl has some cosmetic sleeve impressions. Cover has light wear and bent corners.)
Zapp — New Zapp IV U/Vibe (with bonus tracks) ... CD
Warner/Robinsongs (UK), Late 80s. New Copy 2CD ... Out Of Stock
A pair of albums from Zapp – back to back, and with bonus tracks too! New Zapp IV U is the group's fourth album – and it captures Zapp at the height of their powers – a bit more focused than before, but every bit as funky! Roger's production here is impeccable – done with a great ear for the most soulful side of the group's talents, which keeps them far from some of the more commercial groups who were copping their vibe, but never got things right. Great proof of this is the mellow cut "Computer Love" – a slow stepper that has the group showing their sweeter side, but never losing their cool – a bit like some of the best Fatback ballads of the early 80s. Other cuts are mostly funky – filled with tight basslines, keyboards, and electro bits – and tunes include "It Doesn't Really Matter", "Radio People", "Rock N Roll", "Make Me Feel Good", and "Ja Ready To Rock". Vibe is a set that's late in the classic Zapp run from the 80s, but a record that's still very much head and shoulders above the competition – including the many acts who were trying to cop Roger Troutman's groove, but never got things this right! There's still plenty of bass at the bottom, re-fitted to more of a late 80s funk mode – and some of the trickier turns have the group really serving up that link to P-Funk that's always made them so great – and at a level that maybe even George Clinton couldn't even match at the time. Vocoder bits continue that great Zapp vocal legacy too – used in sparing amounts, but still a wonderful touch – and titles include "Ooh Baby Baby", "I Play The Talk Box", "Fire", "Been This Way Before", "Back To Bass-iks", "Ain't The Thing To Do", "Rock Star", "Jesse Jackson", and "Jake E Stanstill". CD features bonus tracks "Computer Love (ext version)", "California Love (feat Dale DeGroat & Big Robb)", "Computer Love (inst)", "Chocolate City", "I Play The Talk Box (ext)", "Ooh Baby Baby (12" version)", "I Play The Talk Box (dub)", and "Fire (inst jazz version)".

The marina is state-of-the-art in that it is able to accommodate ten megayachts and about 200 other pleasure crafts and yachts.
A cooling breeze blows gently in off the azul waters, bringing a sense of calm to an island of activity. A megayacht appears on the horizon, floating slowly into the expansive marina-the largest in Singapore- docking just as the sun sets. In the distance, the call of wild parrots sounds like music floating in the gentle breeze. It makes sense that the name Sentosa means peace and tranquility in Malay, a language spoken throughout the islands of Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
Sentosa is a small island off the southern coast of the island nation of Singapore, and is the country's only tropical resort. A destination for more than five million tourists a year, Sentosa is connected to the main island by a causeway stretching almost a quarter mile. More than half of the 1,200-acre isle is covered by an exotic rainforest, home to monitor lizards, monkeys, peacocks, parrots, and more. Pristine white sand beaches, golf courses, themed attractions, and a heritage center claim the remaining space.
Sentosa Cove is more than just a development-It is a self-sustaining gated community, one that is the very first to allow foreigners to purchase and own property in Singapore. Such purchases are normally governed by the Residential Property Act, which imposes restrictions on foreign ownership of private residential property in Singapore. Sentosa Cove has been able to strike an agreement with the government, allowing them to be the first community in which foreigners can own land, with one condition: the units be owner-occupied. As Singh says, "This is a good thing. We don't want people to build and leave it vacant: We want the community to be lived in." This opens the island nation up to an international market that before was kept at bay.
Sentosa Cove is not only the most coveted address in all of Singapore, but also the most ambitious, with 2,500 homes to be completed by 2010. The cove will also include low-rise apartments, and two condominium towers, offering splendid views of Sentosa Island, downtown Singapore, and the beautiful rolling waters of the South China Sea. The estate will be connected by a network of waterways, footpaths, roads, and buggy trails. Also being included is a commercial component, offering food, beverage, entertainment facilities, retail fronts and more. This development has already caused quite a stir: To date, everything put on the market has been sold out, which predicts quite the sunny future for this community, which is located just miles from the equator, offering endless summers to all who are lucky enough to call it home.
The development includes a plethora of generous parcels available for purchase, ranging in price from $3- 10 million for the land alone. Individuals have the ability to build their own dream homes, as long as they adhere to architectural guidelines. "Being a tropical destination, our architecture needs to fall in line," says Singh. "The architects have come up with wonderful, modern, tropical designs. Some of them have gone very earthy, using materials like wood and stone." These homes are flanked by lush golf courses, nestled on the coast, or along interior waterways. Many of the properties offer private berths for docking owner's boats.
Sentosa Cove will also be home to the most exquisite leisure boating marina, with berths large enough to host megayachts. "The marina is state-of-the-art in that it is able to accommodate ten megayachts and about 200 other pleasure crafts and yachts. That is something that is unseen and unheard of in Singapore to date," says Singh. The marina is a very substantial one, occupying almost 35-acres of water space, making Sentosa Cove the ideal home for boating enthusiasts in the region. It is also the first in Singapore to offer sheltered waters for the boats.
As Singh points out, "Singapore is the mid-point between many countries. We hope to one day be using Sentosa Cove as a playground for the yachts that come from the Mediterranean and go down to Australia or cut across the Pacific… [These boats] already use Phuket Island in Thailand as one of their stops. We are now positioning Sentosa Cove in such a way that they would now stop here. And while they are in Sentosa Cove, they can take advantage of all Singapore has to offer." The boating world has already caught on to the wonders of Sentosa Cove: The Singapore Asian Boat Show, which brings much of the yachting community of the region together, is to be hosted by Sentosa Cove.
Sentosa Cove will also be home to One° 15, a prestigious marina club that will offer club facilities, golf at the nearby Sentosa Golf Club, an infinity swimming pool, tennis courts, gym, Jacuzzi, spa, and sailing school. Singh says, "At the marina club, we will teach our residents the tricks of the trade of being a boat owner… We are creating an opportunity for people who have never owned a boat-we want them to enjoy the facilities within Sentosa Cove." As a haven of luxury within the resort community, and poised to become the yachting center for all of Asia, One° 15 is a place for those who embrace first-class living.
Sentosa Island, which once was home to a small fishing village, has come full circle, once again offering a home to those who choose to center their living around the water. With the illustrious Sentosa Cove creating a new style of residential living, Sentosa is being rejuvenated. Singh says, "Sentosa Cove will give people a community in which to interact with others who enjoy the same style of living." This is a style of living that is based on sheer luxury, one that anyone in the world would be lucky to embrace.

A crooked, chauvinistic law enforcer type = cliche. At an intense moment, our
main character tries to get away, but the car has trouble starting = cliche.
Complaining about cliches = cliche.

Ok, ok. So we always hear about cliches. But if there was ever to be a prime
example, THE REAL MCCOY is it! Not one uttered word, not one frame of film,
not one character in this whole movie isn't a cut and paste example of
everything we've ever seen. They might as well use this as a training film:
"How to Make a Bank Robbery Film in the 90's".

Karen McCoy (Kim Basinger) is a bank robber who just got out on parole after
a six-year stay at the state prison. She wants to make things right and go
straight, especially with the fact that she has a six-year old son out there
who doesn't even know she's alive. Aware of McCoy's bank robbing expertise,
sniveling bad guy Jack Schmidt (Terence Stamp) uses the same six-year old to
coerce McCoy into returning to her past. He wants McCoy to pull off an
elaborate heist of 18+ million dollars at the same bank she got caught trying
to rob six years earlier, which, by the way, is somehow due to Schmidt. And
if she refuses? Who knows what he'll do to the kid. (Cue sinister laughter)

This movie is so pathetically pitiful that it's hard to know where to begin.
The aforementioned cliches are brutally abundant. I can't stress enough how
every single element, whether it be a character, the dialogue, a plot
"twist", etc., is so damn generic that you'll wonder if *anyone* is working
behind the scenes, let alone in front of the camera. Basinger is absolutely
vacant. And where do they get off trying to make us emotionally attached to
her? Here's someone that spent their time robbing banks, and now as she heads
onto the street, we're supposed to feel sorry for her. As she confronts her
son, who doesn't even know who she is, are we supposed to break into tears??
Especially when neither Basinger nor Zach English, who plays the kid, has any
depth or emotional-radiance whatsoever.

I suppose I should mention Val Kilmer. Yeah, that's right - he's in it! Quite
sadly too, seeing as how I can discuss everything about the movie and never
mention his name. And he got second billing! To be fair, I will admit that
Kilmer had potential in his role as the bumbling criminal wannabe J.T.
Barker. Unfortunately the script doesn't allow much room for improvement, and
when his character is used like bookends (he never shows up in the middle of
the film!), we have no time to appreciate what he might have brought to this
project.

THE REAL MCCOY just can't keep it's head above water, and soon, *very* soon,
sinks into a cliched mess of movie. The actors are like dummies being moved
about by an unenthusiastic puppeteer, and the dialogue, particularly
Schmidt's trite dialogue, falls like the Niagra. This is definitely one to
avoid, folks. THE REAL MCCOY is anything but!

CA Bridging program allows Vu to advance career
Krissie Vu's life has been filled with travel and learning opportunities in different countries all over the world. Throughout her journey, she's crossed more than a few bridges in her life - bridges in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, England, Switzerland, the United States, and, most recently, Edmonton. While all of these bridges could be found on a map, there is one she crossed that was only metaphorical - the bridge that took her from one career path to another…
Her adventure began in her birthplace of Vietnam with her family, who, for 25 years, worked in the hotel and restaurant business. Initially wanting to take her career in the same direction as her parents, it was no wonder Krissie began pursuing a career in hotel management. Krissie earned an advanced diploma in Hotel and Resort Management in Switzerland, where she also received a Certificate of Excellence for the Best Academic Performance and highest academic average.
Krissie Vu thought she had a career path, but when she needed a change, the CA Bridging program was there to help. PHOTO BY LAUGHING DOG PHOTOGRAPHY.
She completed one more term in the United States at Northwood University to attain her bachelor of business administration degree, and after a couple of years working in the hospitality industry, came to Canada to pursue a career in accounting. She wanted to put her education to good use in the hospitality industry, but could no longer deny her true passion and interest.
"I switched to accounting because I wanted to expose myself to a profession that could offer me limitless opportunities to learn and travel. A career in accounting will not only give me the chance to learn new things and meet new clients on a daily basis, but it will also help me continually grow as a professional throughout my career. It was exactly what I was looking for in a career - being able to learn with professionals while I, myself, grow as a professional."
In order to make that career change, Krissie enrolled in the CA Bridging program at the University of Lethbridge in 2011. This program is offered at the U of L's campuses in Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge. CA Bridging enables its students to complete all the business and accounting courses needed for admission into the CA School of Business (CASB). CA Bridging is designed to enable the typical student to complete this program within 12 to 24 months while continuing to work full-time. Students only take the courses they need. Courses are offered during evenings and weekends in Calgary, Edmonton and during the daytime in Lethbridge, and are taught by experienced accounting professionals.
For students who have a non-business degree, CA Bridging enables you to obtain the necessary business and accounting prerequisite courses for admission into CASB.
"For those who decide to take a turn in their career path, the CA Bridging Program gives you access to the technical foundation you need, fills in the missing pieces of accounting knowledge you've missed, and gradually turns you onto the right track towards a CA designation."
Krissie knew she made the right decision by enrolling in the CA Bridging Program.
"It's all I needed when I wanted to make the switch in my career. Pursuing the CA designation is a big decision, and the CA Bridging Program shows you the right door to step through. If pursuing a CA designation is a journey, then the CA Bridging Program is simply a starter kit that you always find yourself reaching back to along the way."
Krissie is still on the path towards her CA designation, so she understands the amount of work and dedication it takes to become a CA.
"I've always seen confidence, pride, competency and professionalism from all the CAs I've met. I know they've been through a long journey to be where they are, and I respect and admire them for that. I would like to become one of them - one of the well-respected, competent, professionals."
Some journeys require maps to help guide us along the way. For Krissie and her career change, no map was needed to help her decide which direction to go to reach her final destination. The CA Bridging program was the best fit for her, as it was flexible, concise, and accommodating to her life. It was the obvious choice for her, and she didn't need a map to know that.

An resource is called "external", if it can't be dumped and restored without some help from the caller. Usually this mean that a part of it state is out of a dumped container.
Typically external resources are just told to be such on dump. The respective option looks like --external TYPE[ID]:VAL option, where TYPE is resource type, ID is resource ID and VAL is optional argument.
Restoring external resources heavily depends on its type. Some resources can be restored by CRIU itself with the help of --external option, some cannot. See below for further details.

BEIJING, April 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATA Inc. ("ATA" or the "Company", Nasdaq: ATAI), a company focused on providing students with quality educational services in China and abroad, today announced that it entered into non-binding framework agreements (the "Framework Agreement") and certain related conditional share purchase agreement and deposit agreement (collectively and together with the Framework Agreements, the "Preliminary Agreements") with Beijing Huanqiuyimeng Education Consultation Corp. ("ACG") and certain of its shareholders for a proposed acquisition of ACG. ACG is a leading provider of educational services for students in China who are interested in applying for overseas art study.
ATA Exploring Potential Opportunities in International Education Over the past year, ATA has continued to work toward its long-term goal of leveraging ATA's expertise in assessment/education technologies and services, as well as industry relationships, to transform ATA into a leading international education service provider. The Company has been actively exploring merger and acquisition opportunities where ATA can create a unique value proposition for students and schools in China and abroad.
Background on the International Art Education MarketDriven by increasing demand for more diverse international education opportunities by urban families in China, the overseas art education market is particularly attractive as a growing number of China-based students are seeking international education opportunities. China remains the world's no. 1 source of international students and sends the largest number of students overseas for study. According to the Ministry of Education, 544,500 Chinese students pursued study abroad opportunities in 2016, more than triple the 179,800 students who sought overseas education in 2008.
ACG – A Leading Service Provider of Overseas Art Education in China ( https://www.acgorg.net/ )With 22 direct campus locations covering 21 cities throughout China, ACG specializes in providing portfolio preparation courses, consultation of overseas art study application and other relevant services to students and young professionals who are interested in art and aiming at studying art abroad. In the past few years, ACG has been dedicated to creating an overall ecology in the field of international creative education and building a one-stop business line in order to upgrade and enhance the comprehensive commercial benefits of the Company. Utilizing its offline national sales network and online platform, ACG is expanding rapidly in the overseas art education market in China.
By leveraging the synergies between ATA's and ACG's respective services, operational capabilities, markets, resources and competencies, ATA believes the management team of ACG will be in a better position to maintain its leadership position within the industry and accelerate the growth of its business.
Transaction TimelineUnder the terms of the Preliminary Agreements, ACG and its major shareholders, including its founder, will negotiate exclusively with ATA until June 30, 2019 for an acquisition of 100% of the share capital of ACG (the "Acquisition"), and in connection therewith, ATA will pay an aggregate deposit of RMB20 million to certain of ACG's major shareholders. If the Acquisition is not completed by June 30, 2019 due to reasons contributable to ATA, then such major shareholders shall be entitled to retain the related deposit as damages. If the Acquisition is not completed by June 30, 2019 due to reasons contributable to ACG and/or such major shareholders, then the deposit shall be returned to ATA and ATA is entitled to damages in equivalent amount. The Company will provide additional detail on the Acquisition as it proceeds further in the due diligence process.
About ATA Inc.ATA is focused on providing quality educational services for students in China. ATA aims to offer online, on-campus, and other education programs through a network of global education partners. For more information, please visit ATA's website at www.atai.net.cn.

"But whatever the reason [for the tariff], the consequences probably won't be severe. The solar revolution is happening so fast that the tariff will make little difference." — Noah Smith, Bloomberg.
This quote from Bloomberg is certainly true, but the immediate effect has unquestionably caused some projects that were "on the bubble" financially to be canceled, and significantly reduced the profitability of others. The uncertainty of the tariff came when the industry didn't know the final amounts. This made financing difficult because no one knew what projects were ultimately going to cost. In reality, the module tariff turned out to be a relatively small increase of about $.15 per watt to the cost of solar projects.
There are multiple ways to save more than enough money to make up for the tariff increase. Installation labor efficiencies and civil engineering work provide opportunities to increase efficiency so much so that if these levers are pulled, solar installers will be able to decrease the total cost of their projects even with the module tariff in place.
1. Reducing installation labor costs by 50 percent by assembling our systems on the ground, and then lifting completely assembled carports by crane. The cost of the crane is only about 5% of the traditional cost of labor, so the crane pays off by a lot.
2. Using standard pre-engineered array sizes and configurations. This enables us to optimize and reduce foundation count, so that our products have half the number of foundations of systems of comparable size. Not only does this reduce the overall cost of foundations, but it also reduces the overall project variability costs caused by uncertain soil conditions.
3. Leveraging local labor crews to reduce installation costs. When our customers manage the project labor or provide their own crews, they gain two big advantages. First, they eliminate markup from construction. Second, they use a skilled local crew that can install our standard systems over and over and become more efficient over time.
4. Increasing project size by covering parking spaces and drive aisles enables a system to deliver up to twice as many watts as a T-canopy. Our customers can install more watts on a project allowing them to spread fixed costs across more wattage which improves profit margins.
With these cost saving efficiencies in place, developers and installers alike are certainly in a great position to continue growing the solar carport space. As utilities realize the unique ability of distributed generation to reduce myriad grid upgrade costs, several states are supporting solar canopy projects. Quest is seeing a lot of new projects coming to fruition in states like New Jersey, Massachusetts, and soon New York. In the coming months, Massachusetts will announce the final version of the state's SMART Program. The current version of the program includes favorable incentives for carports.
What about the steel tariff?
With the module tariff proving to be manageable, albeit a little uncomfortable, now we bring focus to the steel tariff.
"President Donald Trump's foray into trade protectionism heartened a handful of manufacturers in a deeply challenged industry but upset a much larger group of thriving downstream businesses that say they will lose sales and shed employees during what should be a boom time." — James Rainey, NBC News.
Although Quest's products are made with 100 percent American steel, the price of all steel is going up, foreign and domestic. The unique design of Quest's canopies enables Quest to help customers overcome the increased cost from the rising price of steel. Quest is partnering with customers to ensure that the industry can succeed in this environment by not raising prices on our products in response to the steel tariff. Further, foundation reduction in projects using QuadPod solar canopies will overcome the increased cost of steel.
The industry is breathing a sigh of relief because the tariffs, both module and steel, have proved to be more of a speed bump and not a stop sign for project development. The bulk of the harm done by the tariffs was the difficulty to get projects financed, but financing can be found. According to the Department of Energy's website, it remains "committed to leveraging America's abundant solar energy resources — driving research, manufacturing and market solutions to support widespread expansion of the nation's solar market." Even so, the solar industry needs to remain vigilant in its' advocacy to make sure that solar is here to stay.

For the past two weeks I've been playing around with ROS. All was fine until I tried to embed tensorflow and "deep learning" stuff into ROS with conda.
This post aims to clarify what happens, why my system became a mess, and how to resolve them.
The problem here is that Python is looking for a package in /opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ when it should be looking in the Anaconda installation directories. The reason for this is that with your ROS install, your .bashrc file contains the line source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash, which sets your PYTHONPATH variable to the /opt/ros/kinetic/... location.
The solution is to unset your PYTHONPATH variable in your ~/.bash_rc file, right after sourcing ROS, but before sourcing your Anaconda environment. Use this command unset PYTHONPATH.
The second issue is I used many package installers to install python packages (and possibly python itself). Be careful of online tutorials my dude! I ends up having tens of python paths, scattered around different virtual environments, and things became very convoluted.
Where do these package managers install packages?
pip when used with virtualenv will generally install packages in the path <virtualenv_name>/lib/<python_ver>/site-packages. For example, I created a test virtualenv named venv_test with Python 2.7, and the django folder is in venv_test/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django.
conda will install in the environment's python site-packages.
pip is used to download and install packages directly from PyPI. PyPI is hosted by Python Software Foundation. It is a specialized package manager that only deals with python packages.
apt-get is used to download and install packages from Ubuntu repositories which are hosted by Canonical.
Canonical only provides packages for selected python modules. Whereas, PyPI hosts a much broader range of python modules. So, there are a lot of python modules which you won't be able to install using apt-get.
Canonical only hosts a single version of any package (generally the latest or the one released in recent past). So, with apt-get we cannot decide the version of python-package that we want. pip helps us in this situation. We can install any version of the package that has previously been uploaded on PyPI. This is extremely helpful in case of conflict in dependencies.
apt-get installs python modules in system-wide location. We cannot just install modules in our project virtualenv. pip solves this problem for us. If we are using pip after activating the virtualenv, it is intelligent enough to only install the modules in our project virtualenv. As mentioned in previous point, if there is a version of a particular python package already installed in system-wide location, and one of our project requires an older version of the same python package, in such situations we can use virtualenv and pip to install that older version of python package without any conflicts.
As @Radu Rădeanu pointed out in this answer, there would generally be difference in names of packages as well. Canonical usually names Python 2 packages as python-<package_name> and Python 3 packages as python3-<package_name>. Whereas for pip we generally just need to use <package_name> for both Python 2 as well as Python3 packages.
Both apt-get and pip are mature package managers which automatically install any other package dependency while installing. You may use anyone as you like. However, if you need to install a particular version of python-package, or install the package in a virtualenv, or install a package which is only hosted on PyPI; only pip would help you solve that issue. Otherwise, if you don't mind installing the packages in system-wide location it doesn't really matter whether you use apt-get or pip.
The __init__.py file in a package will import the modules into the package namespace, so that we can directly use imported modules in the main function.

Week 1: at Toronto Argonauts
Lions 7 3 14 0 24
Argonauts 0 15 0 7 22
at Rogers Centre, Toronto
Joe Smith took the lustre off a record-setting performance by Bashir Levingston. Smith's two third-quarter touchdowns rallied the Grey Cup-champion BC Lions to a 24–22 win Thursday over the Argonauts in the first game of the CFL season. The loss tarnished Levingston's CFL-record 129-yard return of a missed field goal late in the first half that thrilled the Rogers Centre gathering of 29,157 and put Toronto ahead 15–10.
Week 2: vs. Edmonton Eskimos
Eskimos 3 3 0 3 9
Lions 0 16 7 6 29
at BC Place Stadium, Vancouver
BC Quarterback Dave Dickenson continued his slow start to the CFL season, Friday but his only touchdown pass secured a 29–9, BC Lions home opener win over the Edmonton Eskimos. The 100-yard touchdown drive ended with a 36-yard completion to slotback Jason Clermont midway through the third quarter for a 23–6 lead. While kicker Paul McCallum completed the Lions attack with five field goals and a convert.
Week 3: at Saskatchewan Roughriders
Lions 1 20 7 14 42
Roughriders 0 0 10 2 12
at Mosaic Stadium, Regina, Saskatchewan
The BC Lions capitalized on the Saskatchewan Roughriders' mistakes to win the battle of the two unbeaten West teams 42–12 Friday. Riders penalties, fumbles and interceptions were abundant and as a result, the home team was no threat to win the game for most of the evening. The Riders briefly brought the subdued crowd of 26,981 back into the game in the second with a Matt Dominguez touchdown, but they couldn't recover and allowed two touchdowns in the last minute of the game. Joe Smith found the end zone twice for the Lions (3–0–0), while Jason Clermont had seven receptions for 68 yards. In the second quarter however, the Lions would lose quarterbacks Dave Dickenson and Buck Pierce to injuries leaving third-stringer Jarious Jackson to finish the game.
Week 4: vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Tiger-Cats 3 3 6 6 18
Lions 7 2 0 13 22
The BC Lions were rescued again by their depth at quarterback Thursday as they staggered to a 22–18 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Lions were down to their last quarterback as Buck Pierce, who started with a hand injury in place of Dave Dickenson, left the game with sore ribs after throwing his second interception and was replaced by Jarious Jackson. In addition, Lions running back Joe Smith was taken off the field on a stretcher after fumbling late in the fourth quarter. He briefly had no feeling in his legs but later recovered in the locker room. However, Jackson remained healthy and found wideout Paris Jackson for a 64-yard gain that set up Paul McCallum's 14-yard insurance field goal for a 22–12 cushion. He also had Paris Jackson open in the end zone on a play that drew a pass interference call. The 31-yard penalty led to the third-string quarterback's TD plunge. The victory left the Lions as the CFL's only unbeaten team at 4–0 while Hamilton dropped to 0–4.
Week 5: at Calgary Stampeders
Stampeders 0 11 0 16 27
at McMahon Stadium, Calgary
The BC Lions remained the only unbeaten team in the CFL with a 32–27 win over the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday. BC quarterback Jarious Jackson, who replaced Buck Pierce to start the second half, threw touchdown passes to Geroy Simon and Cory Rodgers while Joe Smith ran in a 38-yard score. Paul McCallum kicked two field goals. Calgary counterpart Henry Burris linked up with Rob Cote and Jeremaine Copeland for touchdowns. Sandro DeAngelis made two field goals, but he was wide on another attempt and had a kick blocked. Jackson was 3-for-7 in passing for two touchdowns and he was intercepted once in relief of Pierce, who was 7-for-14 and was intercepted once in the first half. Burris completed half of 44 pass attempts for 423 yards and two touchdowns, but was intercepted four times. Down 25–11 heading into the fourth quarter, the Stampeders chased the Lions with Burris's 36-yard touchdown pass to Copeland at 8:56, DeAngelis's convert and his earlier 26-yard field goal to pull within four points. But a Burris interception stalled Calgary's momentum as LaVar Glover picked him off and returned the ball 30 yards, which set up Jackson's 15-yard touchdown pass to Rodgers at 11:48 and put the Lions up 32–21. Burris replied on a two-yard run with 1:19 remaining, after finding receiver Brett Ralph within five yards of the end zone, to keep Calgary's hopes of a win alive. The attempted two-point convert was unsuccessful and the Lions hung on for the win.
Week 6: vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders
Roughriders 1 14 3 3 21
Lions 1 7 1 0 9
The Saskatchewan Roughriders took advantage of a third-string quarterback, and running back Wes Cates had a big game with over 100 yards rushing as they defeated the BC Lions 21–9 Thursday night to hand the defending Grey Cup champions their first loss of the CFL season. A crowd of 31,858 saw the Riders improve their record to 4–2 and move to within two points of the first-place Lions in the CFL West. BC dropped to 5–1. The Lions were forced to start third-string quarterback Jarious Jackson because of injuries to Dave Dickenson and Buck Pierce. Jackson, who came off the bench three times this season to preserve Lions wins, showed some flashes but struggled in his first CFL start. He completed 16 of 38 passes for 183 yards, threw one touchdown pass but was intercepted three times.
Week 7: vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Blue Bombers 0 10 0 12 22
Lions 10 7 4 0 21
A crowd of 31,525 saw the Winnipeg Blue Bombers erase an eight-point deficit when wide receiver Terrence Edwards scored on a six-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Kevin Glenn at 3:57 of the fourth quarter. That came one play after Edwards hauled in a 52-yard pass. Winnipeg's two-point convert failed but BC's Ian Smart fumbled the kickoff that would set up Rob Pikula's winning field goal. Pikula, a punter, was pressed into placekicking after Troy Westwood pulled a hamstring early in the game. He also hit from 41 and 31 yards. A last-ditch Lions drive ended when quarterback Buck Pierce threw an incompletion on a third-and-five with about 40 seconds left. Paul McCallum was successful early kicking two field goals from 12 and 45 yards, but missed on a critical 43-yarder with just five minutes remaining in the game that would have secured a BC win. With the loss BC is now tied with the Saskatchewan Roughriders for first place in the CFL West Division.
Lions 7 14 7 3 14 45
Stampeders 10 7 7 7 14 45
The Calgary Stampeders jumped out to an early 7–0 lead after Henry Burris capped off a five-play, 59-yard drive by plunging into the end zone from one yard out. On the drive, Joffrey Reynolds carried the ball three times for 30 yards, while Nik Lewis caught one ball and scrambled for a 28-yard gain. The BC Lions responded right away to tie the score as Buck Pierce engineered an 11-play, 80-yard scoring drive. He capped off the drive by completing an eight-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jason Clermont. With just six seconds to go in the first quarter, the Stamps regained the lead when Sandro DeAngelis kicked a 29-yard field goal.
Just three plays after Ryan Phillips picked off an errant pass by Burris to record his league-leading sixth interception, Pierce tossed a 13-yard TD pass to Clermont to put the Lions up 14–10. The Stamps then completed an impressive eight-play, 80-yard scoring drive capped off by Jeremaine Copeland's fourth touchdown of the season. Late in the first half, Joe Smith rambled 18 yards across the goal line to cap off a five-play, 67-yard scoring drive to put the Lions up 21–17.
The see-saw battle continued in the third quarter as Calgary regained a three-point lead when Burris scored his second one-yard TD of the game. Once again, the Lions responded as Pierce tossed a 30-yard pass to Tony Simmons in the Calgary end zone before Paul McCallum kicked a 28-yard field goal. With 40 seconds left in the game, Lewis hauled in a seven-yard touchdown pass from Burris to tie the game at 31–31 and send it into overtime. The teams would continue scoring in overtime, but would eventually end the game with a tie.
Week 10: vs. Montreal Alouettes
Alouettes 0 7 7 0 14
Lions 0 17 12 17 46
Joe Smith's power and Ian Smart's speed delivered a knockout blow for the BC Lions in their 46–14 CFL romp over the Montreal Alouettes. Smith, the bruising running back, smashed and crashed for 161 yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns as the Lions halted a three-game winless skid in convincing style. Smith and his speedy backfield partner Smart, sliced and slashed for a pair touchdowns and had 63 yards on 10 carries as the Lions climbed back into first place in the CFL West. The pair's effectiveness showed on Smart's first touchdown in the fourth quarter. With the Lions knocking on Montreal's door, everyone in the roaring crowd of 32,115 expected Smith to get the ball. Instead, quarterback Jarious Jackson faked the ball to Smith, then tossed it to Smart who blazed nine yards for the touchdown.
The Lions shredded the Montreal defence — ranked second in the league against both the pass and run — for 420 yards. BC rushed for a combined 275 yards, with Jackson, making just his second CFL start, adding 46 yards on three carries.
While the running backs rumbled the Lions defence roared as defensive back Ryan Phillips stepped in front of an Anthony Calvillo pass in the third quarter and returned his CFL-leading seventh interception 92 yards for a touchdown. Besides throwing the interception, Calvillo was sacked five times, forced to hurry several throws and at times was left looking dazed and confused. He was shaken up but left the field on his on steam after a sack by Jamall Johnson in the fourth quarter.
The win improved the Lions record to 6–2–1 and moves them one point ahead of Saskatchewan in the CFL West. While Montreal's loss continued their on-going frustration when playing at BC Place Stadium which they haven't won in since 2000.
Week 11: at Montreal Alouettes
Alouettes 0 12 13 7 32
at Molson Stadium, Montreal
Marcus Brady won his first start as an Alouette and Jarrett Payton scored three touchdowns as Montreal downed the BC Lions 32–14 on Sunday afternoon.
The 6–4 Alouettes avenged a 46–14 loss in Vancouver last week to the 6–3–1 Lions, and beat BC for only the second time in 10 meetings since 2003.
Brady looked at home running the Montreal attack in place of Anthony Calvillo, who is out indefinitely with a torn rotator cuff, He won the battle of the back-ups over Jarious Jackson, who started a second game for BC in place of injured Dave Dickenson and Buck Pierce.
Payton, who rushed for more than 100 yards, scored on runs of one, two and three yards, while Damon Duval had three field goals for Montreal.
Cory Rodgers caught a TD pass and Paul McCallum had two field goals and a single for the Lions, who played their 900th CFL game since 1954.
Week 12: vs. Toronto Argonauts
Argonauts 0 0 7 0 7
Workhorse running back Joe Smith plunged for two touchdowns as the BC Lions regained first place in the CFL West with a 40–7 victory over the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday. Smith, who had 99 rushing yards and is within six of 1,000 for the season, now has 12 rushing touchdowns. His clinching major made it 27–7 and it was set up by Ryan Phillips's league-leading eighth interception as the Lions turned a multitude of Toronto turnovers into points.
Defensive end Brent Johnson recovered a fumble by Toronto quarterback Michael Bishop after he was sacked for the second time by Cameron Wake and rambled 25 yards to the end zone. BC took a 27–7 lead early in the fourth quarter after Mark Washington punched the ball away from Argo receiver Andre Talbot who leaped for a Bishop pass near midfield.
BC quarterback Jarious Jackson made his fourth consecutive start in place of veteran Dave Dickenson (concussion) and Buck Pierce (shoulder) and managed the game better than his Toronto counterpart.
He faced the league's top-rated pass defence but it was Bishop who was picked off three times. Korey Banks's interception led to one of Paul McCallum's five field goals, the longest from 46 yards. McCallum added three converts while Toronto kicker Noel Prefontaine conceded two safeties.
The win moved the 7–3–1 Lions one point ahead of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who lost 44–22 to the Calgary Stampeders.
Week 13: at Saskatchewan Roughriders
Roughriders 15 9 7 3 34
at Mosaic Stadium, Regina
The BC Lions pawed their way to an unlikely 37–34 victory on Saturday night, dampening and darkening the party mood among 28,800 fans at the sold out Mosaic Stadium, when Geroy Simon caught the game-winning 33-yard touch down catch with 34 seconds remaining in the game.
The Lions offence couldn't get anything going in the first half, outside of the line creating holes and Joe Smith churning up yardage. BC quarterback, Jarious Jackson was only 3-of-14 for 28 yards passing in the first half, while the Saskatchewan Roughriders marched three times for an early 22–7 lead in the first 16 minutes of the game. The Riders even had 200-plus more yards in offence than the Lions at the end of the first half.
Tensions between the two teams erupted before the end of the first half when Riders tackle Scott Schultz had rolled on to Jarious Jackson that caused BC guard Sherko Haji-Rasouli to throw in punches and eventually popped Schultz's helmet off. Meanwhile, Rob Murphy was standing over Saskatchewan rush end John Click, while his left hand was on Chick's chin strap and his right arm was cocked and ready. In the end, the referee ended up giving penalties to Rob Murphy and Scott Schultz for unnecessary roughness and decided to eject BC receiver Cory Rodgers out of the game during the melee, who had earlier caught two of Jackson's three completed first half passes, one of them resulting in a touchdown. Riders' GM Eric Tillman eventually followed Lions' President Bobby Ackles into the hallway yelling "That's not in the rulebook! That's not in the rulebook!"
In the second half, Jackson became more effective completing his first six passes and eventually Joe Smith ran in for a 3-yard touchdown to cut Saskatchewan's lead to 24–22. Then with momentum on their side, the Lions decided on a 3rd and 1, to keep their drive alive on their own 15-yard line. Instead, Saskatchewan's defence was able to sack Jackson before he crossed the first down marker causing a turnover on downs. With good field position Kerry Joseph was able to complete Saskatchewan's drive when he ran in the end zone making it a 31–22, Roughriders lead.
But in the fourth quarter, Jackson would complete a 5-yard TD pass to Jason Clermont to cut the Riders lead to 31–29. The Riders only score in the fourth quarter came when kicker Luca Congi kicked a 25-yard field goal to make it a 34–29 Riders lead. However, late in the game, with the Roughriders leading 34–30, Jackson was able to find Geroy Simon in the end zone for a 33-yard touchdown on a third down play to give the Lions the lead and the win with just 34 seconds left.
The Lions (8–3–1) defence then took over picking off a Kerry Joseph pass on the 'Riders' last-gasp drive to hang on and extend the club's lead atop the West Division by three points.
Week 14: vs. Calgary Stampeders
Stampeders 1 3 0 5 9
Lions 14 7 7 14 42
Jarious Jackson threw three touchdown passes and the Lions defence stopped the Calgary Stampeders from scoring a touchdown in a 42–9 CFL rout Saturday night.
The Lions scored on their first two possessions and led 14–1 with 6:30 gone. Then the earth caved in for Calgary as Akili Smith, the former NFL first-round pick who was making his first CFL start in place of Henry Burris, limped off with about five minutes left in the second quarter with a slight groin pull after being sacked by Korey Banks. Knowing they had the Stampeders on the ropes the Lion defence made things miserable for inexperienced backup Barrick Nealy, who spent much of the game running for his life and took some brutal hits.
Jackson, who moved up the depth chart after injuries to Dave Dickenson and Buck Pierce, improved his record to 4–2 as a starter. He methodically picked the Stampeder defence apart with pin-point passes, then showed his mobility with several key runs. His performance is an indication that Jarious Jackson is starting to become more comfortable at the starting position. Furthermore, Lions receiver Geroy Simon indicated that the team has become confident with Jackson as their starting quarterback.

This was the final game of the BC Lions' regular season. After the game the Lions finished the season with a record of 14–3–1. The final score of this game was 25–24 for the Lions. The Calgary Stampeders tried to win the game at the last moment with no time left on the clock by attempting a field goal. The field goal was attempted but, it failed because the ball bounced off of the pole, which gave The Lions another big win.

For me, I like to think of myself as a fan of all kinds of music now but once upon a time- in my youth- there were certain styles of music that I didn't like. I think it all changed for me when I dated this girl who wouldn't listen to anything that had horns in it. While her problem might have been with ska as a genre, it wasn't really fair to cast aside all of these potentially great bands just because they might use certain instruments. (It's not the instruments, it's what you do with them!) In that way I decided that I would find at least one musician from every genre that I liked because if there are a thousand pop artists they can't all be bad, right?
What horse thieves has is a combination of country western sounds with rock n roll, punk and just sometimes flat out rocking tunes. I would normally end up comparing something like this to that time Me First and the Gimme Gimmes did a country album but this isn't really the same as that at all so I felt the need to start with a story explaining why I can't tell you this is a more rocking version of <fillintheblank> or what not because again... country.
At times the guitar riffs do sound like something out of a Johnny Cash song though this doesn't have that overall Johnny Cash feel so I'm down with that. On more than one occasion I hear the vocals in the same sort of rhythm as The Doors, but that just seems to take me away from my original point and just goes to show you that this isn't even 100% country when the country part blends with the rock.
Part psychedelic, part folk, part dirge you knew I was going to go to that one Against Me! album that I know which sounds the most like country-punk but this also has elements of Murder by Death mixed in and as much as I hear The Doors (as stated earlier) I also can hear the melodic vocals of someone like Eddie Vedder. I'll also throw in a Halfacre Gunroom reference though I highly doubt anyone reading this remembers them.
