Glen Chorny Wins EPT Grand Final
The final day of play began with ten players and at the end of the day it would be Glen Chorny as the victor. Canadian Glen Chorny made his way into the European Poker Tour Grand Final via a Poker Stars satellite and after playing well for several days managed to take down the $3,198,500 grand prize.
The last day of play did not start with the final table as the previous day's play could not whittle down th field to the final eight. Instead play began with two eliminations needed to form the final table. Glen Chorny would enter the table with the chip lead and use it to his advantage in his quest for victory.
The first player to be eliminated at the table was Antonio Esfandiari. Esfandiari went all-in before the flop holding A-8 and was called by Luca Pagano. To Esfandiari's dismay, Pagano had him dominated with A-J. No help came for Esfandiari on the board, although Pagano did improve to make an ace-high straight. Esfandiari would leave the table in eighth place, having earned $266,004.
Russian Valeriy Ilikyan would be the next to go. Ilikyan pushed the last of his chips into the center preflop, betting his tournament life on A-Q. Michael Martin made the call and flipped over A-K. Martin's dominating hand held up and Ilikyan exited in seventh place with $400,590.
Luca Pagano would finish in sixth place after we went all-in holding A-J and came up against the pocket queens of Denes Kalo. Pagano's hand did not improve and he would head home with $533,601.
Michael Martin was the next victim, going all-in after his Q-10 hit top pair on a flop of 10-7-6. Glen Chorny took out his first opponent at the final table with his holding of pocket jacks which survived Martin's threat. Michael Martin finished in fifth place, richer by $666,606.
Glen Chorny would soon after pick up pocket aces to eliminate another opponent. Isaac Baron went all-in with A-Q and got no help from the board, falling to Chorny's aces. Isaac Baron would earn $932,692 for his fourth place finish.
Heads-Up play between Glen Chorny and Denes Kalo would commence after Maxime Villemure fell in third place. Chorny had made a broadway straight and Villemure could not overcome the disadvantage, and he made his exit with $1,132,107 more than when he entered.
Heads-Up play would not last long, partly because Chorny held a 10:1 chip lead over Kalo. Two hands into play Kalo moved all-in with K-Q and Chorny called with A-5. After the board fell A-Q-6-6-10, Glen Chorny had officially won the EPT Grand Final, earning $3,198,500. Denes Kalo earned $1,866,790 for his runner-up performance.

Mil (Mil Mascaras), 1984, acrylic and tape on canvas, 210 x 177 cm.
Stephen Lack is a NY based artist.
Legendary East Village gallery owner Gracie Mansion, whose real name is Joanne Mayhew Young, has a wonderful knack for gauging the current zeitgeist through art. The early 80s were characterised by a radical shift within the art world, which allowed subcultures to rise to the surface at an increasing rate. They could no longer be kept underground, and the polished facades of elegant society were about to crumble in the face of the gay movement, feminism, and the backlash that followed the radicalism of the 70s. One artist she discovered at that time was Stephen Lack, whose works she first exhibited in 1983. Stephen Lack's large painting Mil (Mil Mascaras/The Wrestler), which is dated 1984, is one of the most eye-catching pieces in the East Village Revisited exhibition, which features the collection Anders Wall built at the time when this era peaked in New York, and he was working as chairman of the board for Volvo. Channelling the general mood of the times, this powerfully built man is depicted in a confident, defiant pose, which has been captured with large, rapid, yet precise brush strokes. 34 years later, CFHILL arranged an exclusive interview with the artist.
The painting is of Mil Mascaras, a hooded wrestler from the fifties and later. I have no idea why I remembered him so vividly, but he and his outfit captured my imagination. I lived for a year in Mexico and that type of masked wrestling, or 'Lucha' was very popular. If you look at my overall body of work, much of it deals with power. The idea of a wrestler wearing an executioner's mask is a good starting point in underlying the non-negotiable aspect of power and authority.
The work was painted in New York. I painted it in my studio, in Chinatown on Grand Street, a 2000 sq ft loft where I lived with my wife and 2 children. We were one of the few families in the East Village then. I would buy already primed canvas in 18ft rolls and just staple it up on the 'painting wall' and slice off the size I wanted and then go to work. With acrylic, it dries in a few hours and then you can roll it up. That means storage is simple and you avoid the price of the stretched (sub frame) and the final frame until there is a client or gallery asking for the particular work., One of my 'heroes' was Neal Cassidy, the central character in Jack Kerouac's "On the Road". He lived live in a huge hurry, as Tom Wolf pointed out in "Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" he lived life one thirtieth of a second behind the movie. That's how I felt in NY. We had to hurry. Everything we were accustomed to was being challenged. I was painting about 3 or 4 large scale paintings a week! Every week or so there was another group show asking for paintings on various themes. Galleries were popping up everywhere. There was a general anger and the new attention on the art gave us a platform to communicate that shortened the gap of usual coverage. You could put a painting into a show and it might appear in Art in America six weeks later and then it was sold.... that was amazing compared to how slow the art world used to move before that.
What was it like, living as an artist in NY back then?
It was the early 80's and there was a huge disconnect between the image of America as a successful economy and culture (Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous; Dallas etc) and the reality of life on the Lower East Side of NYC. At night you could hear the copper flashing on rooftops of the abandoned buildings being ripped out by junkies to sell the copper for drugs, leaving the buildings to suffer from the rain and mold. In the streets there were fires of garbage in huge oil drums with the homeless gathered around for warmth. The Lower East Side had become a refugee community of the displaced from the middle class. It was cheap housing, sometimes even for free in homesteaded buildings. Events and clubs appeared in abandoned spaces. Jean Michel [Basquiat] and Keith Haring and [Richard] Hambleton and [David] Wojnarowicz were doing great work directly on the walls of the streets. Me; I was working just as fast but indoors because I had a family and could not risk being arrested. Still, my work had the same urgency and rage of my graffiti friends.
Very sad. It was a feeling of impending doom that Aids put a face on. We knew something was about to challenge us and kill us. The pluralism that manifested itself in the galleries, the fact that the art reflected every genre and era of previous art from the last 2,000 years, from Baroque to high speed abstract to Neo Geo and conceptual art and installation, to film and video, and technological additions to the execution of the work, the multiple sensibilities all being shown side by side telegraphed to me the impending collapse. There is a legend: When you jump or fall out a thirty story window, your entire life will flash before you before you hit the bottom. That is what I felt was happening when I went from gallery to gallery in the East Village in those days.
Aids was almost a fulfillment of that feeling. We, my wife and I, knew many people that died of Aids, from the late seventies, from before it had a name. I could begin to name some of them off but it would take a very long list. Much talent and extreme behavior was lost. You can feel its absence in the art and entertainment worlds even today. They were the biggest risk takers!
When did you get to know Gracie Mansion?
Gracie and I met through Sur Rodney Sur, whom I knew since he was a teenager. He is a quite remarkable artist and now is an archivist, working with the Geoff Hendriks estate, various LGBTQ themed archives and events, and bringing the work of Lorrainne O'Grady [a performance artist] to the world among other projects. He was working with Gracie then who was a 'Mail Artist' and had adapted the personality of Gracie Mansion as an identity. She was putting on the Limo Show, in the back seat of a parked limousine outside Leo Castelli Gallery in Soho. She was showing works by Buster Cleveland, an amazing collagist, and I met her there and then and I purchased a few of Buster's collages. Gracie looked at my slides of paintings and immediately gave me a show in her apartment gallery the 'LOO Division' on East 9th St. Somehow, Page Six, in the NY Post; mentioned the show opening and the attendance was from the door of her apartment down the 2 flights and out onto the street and around the block. The gallery was a simple railroad apartment bathroom redone with clean white gallery style walls with the name of the artist on the door. It was a send up of the more established galleries. That's how we rolled.

This article contains a list of miscellaneous information. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections or articles. (December 2017)
Angela Anaconda (voiced by Sue Rose)[5] is a tomboyish, imaginative, freckle-faced eight-year-old girl who eschews the femininity commonly associated with other girls her age.[8] She resides in the town of Tapwater Springs with her parents, two dimwitted elder brothers; Mark and Derek, her baby sister: Lulu, and closest friends; Johnny Abatti, Gina Lash, and Gordy Rhinehart. In every episode of the series, Angela will engage in at least one dream sequence. The majority of these feature her rivals Nanette Manoir and Mrs. Brinks, seeking vengeance on them in unrealistic fashions. Angela often imagines unusual things happening to her enemies, especially Nanette, including getting tossed into the air during an ice routine and falling through the ice or getting turned into a flash card and other bad things.
Johnny Abatti (voiced by Al Mukadam)[6] is a sweet but dim boy of Italian descent. His parents are never seen in the show and he appears to be under the care of his grandmother Carmella and uncle Nicky, the latter of whom often pressures Johnny into manhood (particularly in the episode "Johnny Learns to Swing"). Regarded as an attractive student, Johnny takes pride in his pompadour hairstyle. Nanette Manoir harbours a crush on him and tries to flirt with him frequently, referring to him as "John" and inviting him to exclusive Manoir events. He normally brings Angela, Gina, and Gordy along against their will. Despite this preferential treatment, Johnny remains utterly clueless about Nanette's affections. Although he never admits it, Johnny may have strong feelings for Angela, as he becomes resentful of any rival for her affections. On every Valentine's Day, Johnny sends Angela flowers but forgets to sign the attached card, accidentally giving the credit for his gift to Angela's imaginary boyfriend Bob. Johnny likes to pick his nose and shoot spit balls.
Gina Lash (voiced by Bryn McAuley)[6] is the smartest child in her grade. Possessing encyclopedic knowledge, an impressive vocabulary, and a voracious appetite, Gina routinely dispenses reason and insight to her friends. However, she will always participate in whatever scheme they are partaking. Gina shares many interests with her friends, but her thirst for knowledge has led her to pursue a variety of other hobbies; she owns a microscope and other scientific paraphernalia. Gina is best known for her appetite, which rivals that of any adult. She is always hungry and can even fall prey to Nanette Manoir if she is bribed with her gourmet chef's cooking. Gina's favorite foods include Abatti's Pizza, cinnamon swirls, jiggly fruit, and Tastee Swirl ice cream. Gina worships the mascot for Tastee Swirl, a man with a whipped ice cream head who dispenses frozen treats from his truck to the local children. She also idolizes the maker of her favorite cupcake snack, Tiny Dottie, as a professional food entrepreneur she wants to be like. Gina lives with her mother, who is single (until she begins dating Gordy's father Coach Rhinehart). Her father is never seen or mentioned on the show, implying that her mother is divorced or widowed. Gina also owns a pet turtle named Sheldon who loves to eat carrots.
Gordy Rhinehart (voiced by Edward Glen)[6] is a kind, sensitive, and artistic boy with asthma who prefers pressing flowers, housework, and writing poetry to "dangerous" activities like tag or hide-and-seek. He has a love of ballet and nature, and embraces all things pretty and lovely. He is best known for his many allergies. Gordy wears large, square spectacles and a blue vest. He is the complete opposite of his burly and macho ex-Army soldier father Coach Rhinehart. Despite being so unalike, their father/son relationship is very strong and they show genuine love and concern for one another. The coach enjoys the strawberry soufflés, hand-embroidered towels, and pillow cases Gordy makes in his free time. Gordy loves animals and is the proud owner of an immaculately groomed dog named Fabio. He is an expert on pet care and worries about the welfare of any animal entrusted to Angela. Gordy spent almost an entire episode ("Gordy in a Plastic Bubble") wearing rubber gloves and a face mask, refusing to leave his house, after looking at an eyelash under a microscope. In spite of Gordy's outward appearance and mannerisms, he is deeply in love with Gina Lash.
Nanette Manoir (voiced by Ruby Smith-Merovitz)[6] is the teacher's pet who speaks with a snobbish faux-French accent when she speaks. Her hair is golden blonde and styled into long Victorian-style ringlets in emulation of her mother's look. Nanette's doting parents fail to see how rotten their daughter really acts at school, as she is spoiled and never punished her for things she does wrong. She is proud of her pampered looks, constantly bouncing her curled hair. Nanette's interests are a posh variety of activities such as baton twirling, ballet, painting, gymnastics, and ice skating. She uses her family's wealth and high status as a way of asserting her superiority over her classmates, especially Angela. Because of her French name, Nanette believes that she is of French descent. This belief is shared only by her mother, Bunny. She adds misapplied French phrases to most of her conversations, explaining their meanings incorrectly; for example, she believes "liaison" is French for "lesson", "crème brûlée" (singed cream) is French for "prove it", and "pomme de terre" (potato) is French for "apple polisher".
Mrs. Ephigenia Brinks (voiced by Richard Binsley)[6] is a middle-aged woman and a dedicated third grade teacher with a rather masculine voice. She wears a grey beehive wig, which hides her short ginger hair, and dresses in a long-skirted schoolmarm dress. She is easily manipulated and plays favorites, her decisions always favoring Nanette. Unfortunately, Mrs. Brinks dislikes Angela and is very strict and callous with her. Mrs. Brinks likes to believe that she is sophisticated and succumbs easily to flattery. She considers Angela a bizarre, troublemaking, and wayward girl and constantly punishes her. She and her long-suffering husband Connie are rumored to be weekend nudists. Angela and her gang often peer into the Brinks' backyard from Angela's tree house to find out if this rumor is true, though the show only shows Angela and her friends' reactions to what they see. In "Brinks of No Return", Mr. Brinks reveals that he and Mrs. Brinks used to have a very loving relationship before Nanette came into her life. In the episode "Earhart's Heirloom" Mrs. Brinks claims to have the compass of Amelia Earhart and promises to show it to the class if they behave for a month, only for them to discover that the compass is fake. Brinks has an artificial hip which prevents her from dancing.
Recurring characters[edit]
Astronaut Bob is the local hero of Tapwater Springs whom Angela and her friends lionize. As his name suggests, he was an astronaut presumably during the height of the Space Race who got to walk on the moon. He currently spends his time as a volunteer for the town's space museum, and lending his likeness to boxes of the cereal Astro Nutties as well as other products and possessions.
Candy May is an incredibly dim child who appears to cut her own hair and wears a shirt with a unicorn decal on it. She has long red hair in a ribbon. She hesitates a lot, draws her words out, and often confuses herself. She is not allowed near sharp objects and loves playing with glitter and paste. She may be older than the other kids and is unsurprisingly the tallest child in the classroom, but this is due to being held back a year due to her low intelligence. Her presence is marked by a slow instrumental version of "Pop Goes the Weasel".
Carmella "Nonna" Abatti is Johnny's grandmother and chief proprietor of Abatti's Pizzeria. A talented cook and nurturer, Nonna is very hospitable to Johnny and his friends. She is also not afraid to speak her mind about things, particularly her son Nicky's lifestyle choices or Gina Lash's appetite. Additionally, Nonna is highly superstitious, most notably regarding "Chi Mallochio" (or, the evil eye), as evidenced when Nicky starts enjoying the success at the expense of Sabatto's, the town's rival pizzeria. In her younger days, she was good friends with Angela's Grandmother, Louisa.
Coach Rhinehart is Gordy's hyper masculine father as well as a big sports enthusiast, ex-Army officer, football coach, Nature Survival Counselor, and PE teacher of Tapwater Springs Elementary School. He speaks with a stereotypical coach/drill sergeant voice and is usually shown dressed in a bright orange tracksuit. Like Gina's mom, Coach Rhinehart's spouse is not shown implying he's either a widower, divorced, or living apart from his wife. He is the second of the Tapwater teachers to show anger at Nanette Manoir. In spite of being fiercely competitive and obsessed with physical activity of any kind, he is accepting of his son's personality and artistic interests, encouraging him to be himself, and not projecting his image of manhood onto him. His first name has never been revealed canonically.
Conrad "Connie" Brinks is the henpecked husband of Ephegenia Brinks. In contrast to his wife, Conrad is skinny, soft-spoken, and even tempered. He is very loving and patient especially towards his wife, and dismisses her shouting with a resigned "yes dear". He secretly resents the relationship Nanette has with Mrs. Brinks, referring to her on one occasion as "little Naninski Budinski". Conrad works for the town's public-access television station where he has pull enough to host a program for ham radio enthusiasts like himself, and once coached an ice skating class for the town's children. In his younger years Conrad was an avid bowler and allegedly the dreamiest boy in all of Tapwater Springs. He even used to go out with Johnny and Angela's grandmothers before meeting Mrs. Brinks. Like his wife, Conrad also is rumored to engage in weekend nudism.
Howell and Bunny Manoir are the equally rich and vapid parents of Angela's primary nemesis Nanette Manoir. Though Nanette claims she is fully French, Howell speaks with a strong Massachusetts accent, a la John F. Kennedy, while Bunny has a Southern accent. Howell works as a proprietor of a construction firm. Bunny spends her days presumiiably as a lady of leisure. Both are very overindulgent of their daughter, and most of the time they fail to notice let alone punish Nanette's rotten attitude. Much like their daughter, Howell and Bunny have little regard for William and Geneva Anaconda as people.
January Cole and Karlene Trainor (voiced by Annick Obonsawin)[6] are Nanette's servants who follow her around wherever she goes. Sporting bouffant hairdos, preppy clothing, and beauty moles, they are very concerned with their appearance and look to Nanette for fashion guidance (mainly about facials and makeup). Despite their unyielding devotion to Nanette, they are fickle.
Jimmy Jamal (voiced by Kevin Duhaney) is an athletic boy in Angela's class. He is frequently seen playing a hand-held video game and talking about his Turbo Trainers, which make him run very fast. He is the son of the mayor of Tapwater Springs.
Josephine Praline (voiced by Cara Pifko) is a devout Catholic who acts as a moral rudder for her classmates. She is loving and forgiving, but stern when she sees injustice. Josephine often refers to others as "my child". She set up a confessional in the girls' washroom, where her friends come to talk to her about their stresses and worries. She is well liked by her classmates, but Mrs. Brinks cares very little about her. Josephine urges Angela to learn to love her enemies and see the good in Nanette instead of hating her, but is surprised when she cannot find any good qualities herself. Josephine comes from a large family of at least nineteen brothers and sisters.
Mark and Derek Anaconda (voiced by Rob Tinkler) are Angela's twin older brothers. Though physically and intellectually similar, Mark has blonde hair and wears a white Jersey with the number 14, while Derek brown hair and wears a plain orange shirt. Moreover, Derek's voice is higher than Mark's. Both of the brothers are the secondary antagonists of the show, constantly bullying and belittling Angela and her friends. Though dull-witted, each roast their sister at every turn; high-fiving and head-butting each other when one makes a particularly "witty" remark. They refer to nearly everyone as "dude" (regardless of the gender and/or social status of the individual in question) and tend to judge how good something is in life by acknowledging when things "rock". Despite their irresponsibility and lack of interpersonal skills, Mark and Derek have held jobs at the town country club as caddies and at a fast food eatery when they fail to pay for their meal. Both enjoy contact sports and are on the town football team, much to Coach Rhinehart's consternation. Their presence is marked by a heavy metal riff vaguely similar to the common 'na-na-ne-na-na' chant, sung by children to mock others.
Nicholas "Uncle Nicky" Abatti is Johnny's swinging bachelor uncle and co-owner of Abatti's Pizzeria. While generally good natured towards his nephew as well as Angela, Gina and Gordy, Uncle Nicky is also childish, and obsessed with fast women, faster cars, gambling and disco. His clothes usually consist of sunglasses, gold chains and leisure suits. As a child he was known as a troublemaker in Mrs. Brinks' class; earning the nickname "Fancy Pants" and leaving his legacy in the form of an eternal spitball. Uncle Nicky is more often than not escorted by two nameless babes (a blonde on his left and a redhead on his right) wherever he goes, a testament to him being a ladies man. Despite this, he has been known to publicly express interest in Gina's mother, Elizabeth Lash.
William and Geneva Anaconda are the parents of Mark, Derek, Angela and Lulu Anaconda. Though Bill enjoys inventing, none of his inventions have really taken off (save for the Food Rejuvenator 3000, whose potential success he sabotaged in the end out of fear that success would spoil his family). To make ends meet, he works as a salesman selling ceramic dancing pigs and expandable foam in a can. Geneva is a struggling artist who gets by on commissions and teaching positions at the community college. In spite of being busy with their respective jobs and financial situation, both are caring and provide Angela and her siblings with love and support.
Critical reception and ratings[edit]
Angela Anaconda received high ratings and mixed reviews from critics. Barb Stuewe of The Ledger noted that while "the humor doesn't always come off," the show "is sometimes quite funny."[20] Evan Levine of the Rome News-Tribune was critical of the show's look and feel, stating that "the series' unique, cut-out style of animation seems trendy for its own sake."[21] Scott Moore of The Washington Post called Angela Anaconda "more imaginative than anything ever seen in art class."[22] Co-creator Sue Rose noted in an interview with The New York Times that despite having a primarily female cast, the show had become popular with both genders. She writes, "the most frequent feedback we get is from parents of boys ... they say: 'My boys watch it and they love it. I never thought they would.' These are not just girls' shows, they're kids shows."[23] During the series' time on Fox Kids, it received consistently high ratings and was commonly marathoned by the channel.[24]
However, the show holds a 4.6/10 rating on IMDB, and is often criticized online for its animation.

Reaction to "social changes
Cross at school © Karl-Josef Hildenbrand
In addition to religious education, elementary schools in North Rhine-Westphalia are to offer a subject called "ethics" in the future. This was confirmed by a spokesman for the NRW Ministry of Education in Dusseldorf.
He referred to a corresponding announcement by Education Minister Yvonne Gebauer (FDP) in the education committee of the state parliament that she wanted to "make ethics instruction possible" at elementary school in the future. This is the state government's reaction to societal changes.
The school minister has so far given as little concrete information on the content of the new elementary school subject as on a possible date for the start of ethics instruction. It also remains to be seen at how many elementary schools in NRW the new subject will be taught. In her approach, the minister refers to the coalition agreement concluded between the CDU and the FDP. It literally says: "In addition to more diverse religious denominations, the number of families without denominational ties has also increased. Therefore, we will make ethics instruction possible in elementary schools."
A subject called "ethics" for elementary school students who do not participate in religious instruction already exists in Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, according to the Ministry of Culture. In the current school year, Lower Saxony is testing the introduction of a subject called "Values and Norms" at elementary schools.

The Kimberley: The Right Thing or Ka-Ching?
Click on the link below to read Geoffrey Cousins' well studied and in-depth perspective on the proposed James Price Point gas precinct.
WOODSIDE Petroleum chairman Michael Chaney has lashed out at opponents of the planned $35 billion Browse liquefied natural gas plant in Western Australia's Kimberley, labelling Telstra director Geoffrey Cousins and other activists as "anarchists" who did not respect the legal process.
In his strongest attack yet on the campaign to foil the project, Mr Chaney said Woodside and its Browse partners were following all the correct procedures and the development would be approved next year if it was viable and met all environmental requirements.
"The protesters are really a handful of people who I think are anarchistic in their approach — that is, they don't accept the decision of the umpire and they go their own way and try to stop projects," he told Sky Business last night.
Mr Chaney's comments came in the same week that WA's Environmental Protection Authority recommended state government approval of the project at James Price Point, near Broome, but described it as the most complex assessment in the agency's 40-year history.
WA Premier Colin Barnett and federal Resources Minister Martin Ferguson strongly back the project, which would create thousands of jobs and hand Kimberley indigenous people a $1.5bn package of benefits over 30 years in exchange for use of the land.
Mr Chaney yesterday declined to comment on those claims.
Mr Cousins, a former chief executive of advertising agency George Patterson, has been behind a strategy to pressure Woodside shareholders, joint-venture partners, financiers and customers to stay away from the Kimberley.
He is also trying to exploit a disagreement on the gas plant's location between Woodside and its minority partners, which include Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell, BHP Billiton and BP.
Most of the partners favour piping the gas to the North West Shelf in the Pilbara when reserves run down later this decade, extending the life of the investment.
Mr Chaney has rejected claims the Browse project would destroy the Kimberley, saying it would cover a tiny area of a massive region. Asked if Woodside had made a final decision to use James Price Point, he said it still had alternative sites to process Browse gas.
"We're spending $1.5bn on a feasibility study to determine those things and we'll know over the course of the year what the answer is," he said.

Caldichromatium japonicum gen. Nov., sp. nov., a novel thermophilic phototrophic purple sulphur bacterium of the chromatiaceae isolated from nakabusa hot springs, japan

Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics
A novel thermophilic phototrophic purple sulphur bacterium was isolated from microbial mats (56 °C) at Nakabusa hot springs, Nagano prefecture, Japan. Cells were motile, rod-shaped, stain Gram-negative and stored sulphur globules intracellularly. Bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the normal spirilloxanthin series were the major pigments. Dense liquid cultures were red in colour. Strain No.7T was able to grow photoautotrophically using sulfide, thiosulfate, sulfite and hydrogen (in the presence of sulfide) as electron donors and bicarbonate as the sole carbon source. Optimum growth occurred under anaerobic conditions in the light at 50 °C (range, 40–56 °C) and pH 7.2 (range, pH 7–8). Major fatty acids were C16:0 (46.8%), C16:1 ω7c (19.9%), C18:1 ω7c (21.1%), C14:0 (4.6%) and C18:0 (2.4%). The polar lipid profile showed phosphatidylglycerol and unidentified aminophospholipids to be the major lipids. The only quinone detected was ubiquinone-8. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons indicated that the novel bacterium is only distantly related to Thermochromatium tepidum with a nucleotide identity of 90.4%. The phylogenetic analysis supported the high novelty of strain No.7T with a long-branching phylogenetic position within the Chromatiaceae next to Thermochromatium tepidum. The genome comprised a circular chromosome of 2.99 Mbp (2989870 bp), included no plasmids and had a DNA G+C content of 61.2 mol%. Polyphasic taxonomic analyses of the isolate suggested strain No.7T is a novel genus within the Chromatiaceae. The proposed genus name of the second truly thermophilic purple sulphur bacterium is Caldichromatium gen. nov. with the type species Caldichromatium japonicum sp. nov. (DSM 110881=JCM 39101).

I read anything and everything --- children's books, classic novels, comics, name it. I'd read and finish a book even if I didn't like it (hello, Fifty Shades of Gray!) just for the sake of reading it. So when my highschool batchmate Iza Singson suggested forming a book club, I said I was game!
We started the Secret Book Club in January. It was like hitting two birds with one stone since I promised myself that I'd read more books this year and also be a little bit more social (which meant showing up at parties and joining clubs).
Apparently, it's the "in" thing right now. While reading this month's Cosmopolitan, I saw this feature.
Oh and yes, going out every night is kind of exhausting given my age (and my work) so it is nice to just chill and hangout. And that's what we did last night, SBC met for its first book club night at Bugsy's Alabang.
We talked about our Books of the Month, which we call BOMS, over nachos, chicken tenders, and cocktails.
Our BOMs for February were chosen by me and Lar: Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (pseudonym of J.K. Rowling) and Ilustrado by Miguel Syjuco, respectively. Some of us were not able to read both books, most weren't able to finish Ilustrado. But it was nice hearing everyone's opinions, comments, and views. Iza and Russ, who are next in line, announced their chosen BOMs for March. I'll reveal them after our next book club night.
Patty even showed us her signed copy of Ilustrado. She got it in 2010. Pretty cool.
When I posted about SBC in my Instagram, some of you asked how you can join. Send me an email at joeiandme@yahoo.com so I can add you to our FB group. All bookworms are welcome although we do hold our book club nights in the South.
Joei, hi. Would you know if there is a book club here in Metro Manila where the members are older, i.e. dual citizens? Thank you.


We'd love you to be a regular customer! You can become a member for $35/year and save 10% on the cost of regularly priced, non-consignment yarns, supplies, and accessories, AND get one yoga free class per year. You'll also be invited to member-only events and sales. Seniors 62 years & over and students 18 years & under can join for $25/year.

Q: IIS7 graphic pops up out of nowhere-what reason would that happen & am I compromised? I had a graphic with IIS7 in the middle of it with "Welcome" in numerous languages around it pop up out of nowhere on my laptop screen. It has happened to me twice now. I am not on a work computer. I feel like people are using my router..idk why, it's a gut feeling..like I'm paying for Internet while they get free use of the Internet. The other day, I saw a network on the list of availables with almost the exact same name as mine except the last number, so I put in my password- it worked. I called the cable company who tells me I have always had 2 connections to the Internet. I outright said, "What are you talking about? Don't you think the guy who installed my service would mention that when showing me how to sign on? Or the many times I called or even on the bill somewhere?" I don't know what is going on!!. Today, my laptop said, "another computer with the same IP is in your network, check your System File log". Am I hacked? Are other people using my router? Can anyone help please??

A: The "second connection" is most likely to be that you have a dual-band wireless router - one that broadcasts on both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands. This would explain both the similar network names and the fact that your password worked on both. It could also possibly explain the message referring to another computer with the same IP - if you swapped between the networks it's possible that the router hadn't updated it's list of connected devices for the other one yet and that could potentially make Windows think there was another machine with the same IP. I'd have to know more about the setup before being sure at all on that one.
As for the "IIS7" screen you saw, what you describe sounds exactly like the holding page that IIS7 (Microsoft's Web Server software) displays by default before you configure any sites. That would lead me to think that the screen you saw was a misconfigured web site somewhere - if you weren't trying to visit a website when you saw that it could have been a malware/virus that was trying to display it's site to you but that said site has been taken down or isn't set up properly. In which case I'd recommend running a anti-virus scan such as Windows Defender (included in later version of Windows), or Trendmirco Housecall (free scanner, ideal if you're running an older version of Windows such as XP, Vista or 7) and a Malwarebytes scan to check for any nasties.
It is of course possible that someone is freeloading on your Wifi - it's not uncommon. However there are steps you can take to make this much harder for anyone to do such as making sure the network is set up to use WPA encryption, with a secure password and changing the password periodically to boot off anyone who does get on.
If you can update your question with the make and model of your router I can try point you in the right direction to check/setup these things. Alternatively your cable company will be able to support you (presumably the router was one they supplied?).

Based on the available information, the majority of expeditions's members were in the socially tent. For a pity, the expedition leader climber and skialpinist Ján Matlák, climber Vladimír Švancár, and Sherpas Ghoj Kumar Rai, Dorje Sherpa and Gopal Rai were in that time in smaller expeditions' tents. All tents were hit by avalanche. Fortunately, all people had luckily get out the social tent without any serious injuries. The group was evacuated by helicopter to Pokhara in the morning.
Jiří Švihálek, Peter Kostelanský and three Sherpas had flied back to BC in Oct 16, 2014, where they had found out three Sherpas and both Slovak members of the expedition.
The autumn season 2014 is extremely deadly, as it is fourth avalanche tragedy within one month. Shisha Pangma – Dynafit Double 8, two avalanches in Chile. and Dhaulagiri. Currently, there are missed other tens of trekkers and Sherpas in different places in Nepal.

Der Gmünder Kunstverein ist ein deutscher Kunstverein, der in der Galerie im ehemaligen Kornhaus der Stadt Schwäbisch Gmünd Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen mit zeitgenössischen Werken von nationalen und internationalen Künstlern veranstaltet.

Geschichte
Der Kunstverein wurde 1890 in Schwäbisch Gmünd gegründet. Er wurde als Kunstgewerbeverein "Vorwärts" von 27 Goldschmieden und Silberschmieden, Graveuren und Ziseleuren ins Leben gerufen. Das Ziel der entstandenen Interessengemeinschaft von Kunsthandwerkern war Austausch und Erweiterung gestalterischer Fähigkeiten. In den 1950er und -60er Jahren veränderte sich die Zusammensetzung – viele Designer wurden Mitglieder. Die Satzung von 1954 besagt: "Der Verein dient der unmittelbaren Förderung der Kunst und der fachlichen Weiterbildung seiner Mitglieder. Er soll weiterhin das Verständnis für künstlerische Arbeit wecken und als besonderes Bestreben des Vereins gilt es, die Jugend für die Kunst zu interessieren". Der Gmünder Kunstverein zählt 2015 ca. 400 Mitglieder, wovon die Hälfte selbst künstlerisch tätig sind, was sich im Konzept der Veranstaltungen niederschlägt. So wird zum Beispiel zweimal jährlich ein Motto kreiert und entsprechende künstlerische Positionen dazu recherchiert und eingeladen. Gemessen an der Einwohnerzahl gehört er zu den größten Kunstvereinen in Baden-Württemberg. Der Kunstverein setzt sich für die Vermittlung von Gegenwartskunst ein. Als Non-Profit-Institution ermöglicht sie Auseinandersetzung und Begegnung zwischen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern und den verschiedenen Besucherkreisen. Sie organisiert Führungen, Künstlergespräche, Vorträge, Reisen und vieles mehr.

When Using AI, Do Not Forget the Radiologist
Conferences | SIIM
The industry should pay more attention to the interplay between providers and AI tools, says Elizabeth Krupinski, Ph.D., during SIIM 2020.
Radiology has always been on the cutting edge of technology, and the latest tech tool craze is still artificial intelligence (AI). But, as the industry continues to push forward, finding new ways to make use of these algorithms, it is critical for radiology leaders to also pay attention to how AI is impacting the provider, said one industry expert.
Using AI is about more than data results in a lab, said Elizabeth Krupinski, Ph.D., professor and vice chair of research in the radiology and imaging sciences department at Emory University School of Medicine. It is about how the technology touches the radiologist's thinking, perceptions, workflow, and other human factors.
"We really need to understand and appreciate how technology – no matter how cool it is to develop and implement – impacts the human user at the end," she said, during the 2020 Dwyer Lecture at the SIIM 2020 virtual meeting. "And, after that, how it impacts patient care."
The Effect on Radiology
Despite being widely used throughout the industry for several years now, there has not been much investigation into the presentation of AI results during clinical use or how these tools affect providers in cognitive, perceptual, or ergonomic ways. There is also a lack of data on how AI touches patient outcomes, radiologist training, and decision-making, she added.
"Basically, what's missing in a lot of the AI, deep learning, and some of the technology development – even hardware – is a consideration of the users," she explained. "And, I think that ends up being critically important."
Throughout the industry, she said, a growing population of radiologist are also turning to AI tools to help alleviate the stress, fatigue, and burnout that has become increasingly prevalent in the specialty, particularly when it comes to complex research efforts. But, even when AI is used in investigations, sufficient context about clinical significance or relevance is rarely included.
In many cases, Krupinksi said, investigators will identify a particular type of image or finding, apply an AI scheme, and, then, point to the strength of their outcomes.
"But, then, when you read it, there's nothing in the significance or the background section that says why they're doing this," she said. "Is it a problem right now? Do radiologists have a problem with that particular type of diagnosis or type of image?"
Determining AI's Clinical Impact
Collecting a true assessment of any new method, initiative, or innovation in an actual clinical setting can be complicated and costly. But, quasi-experimental designs could be options for reach this goal, she said.
Overall, she recommended three types of quasi-experimental designs:
Prepost with nonequivalent control: In a direct comparison, a group with an AI intervention is analyzed – both before and after adoption – with a non-randomized, similar control group that does not receive AI.
Interrupted time series: Investigators measure outcomes at consecutive time points (three-to-eight) prior to and after an intervention is conducted. All measurements occur within the same group, as it functions as its own control.
Stepped-wedge: The intervention is launched at various sites over a certain time period with control groups eventually receiving the intervention and functioning as their own controls. This design allows investigators to compare the intervention by different sites or groups, enabling assessment across institutions, practices, and patients groups.
Implementing these designs offers several advantages, she said. Although they can have biases and errors, they provide for faster intervention uptake, enhanced acceptability, and reduced cost.

Middle Tennessee Council will be releasing a 100th Anniversary Coffee Table Book at the end of 2020, following a yearlong celebration of its first 100 years of Scouting in Middle Tennessee.
Founded in March of 1920, the Council has offered many opportunities in training young leaders and building the lives of our youth over the past 100 years. While doing so, it has collected numerous historical artifacts, photographs, recognitions, patches, and provided summer camp memories for thousands of youth at its council properties. The Council was formed after WW1, and many of our Scouts have lived and died fighting for the freedom of this nation.
Who are our lost heroes? What did our first Council patch look like? What was the original name of our Council? Many questions will be answered, and facts documented in the Coffee Table Book – A wonderful archival documentation of the first ONE HUNDRED years of the Middle Tennessee Council.
With hardbound cover and 200 glossy pages of pictures and facts, the Coffee Table Book will be a collector's item for those who have Scouting memories in Middle Tennessee and for generations to come. This historical archive will retail at approximately $35 and will be available for a limited time by pre-order only.
If you have any photographs, items of interest or questions. Please email to Tracey Rodenbach at mtcrodenb@gmail.com
