BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), a leading global medical technology company is upgrading its Columbus-East facility into a plastic molding manufacturing center of excellence by 2021 with an investment of $60 million. The up gradation of the facility will add 69,000 sq. ft. to the facility to transform it into the flagship plastic molding manufacturing facility for BD, and it will become one of the largest and most sophisticated plastic molding plants in the world. BD's North American plastic molding production, currently produced by third-party manufacturers, will be consolidated into the new facility with in-house manufacturing capabilities. One of the largest users of plastic moldable products in the world, BD will produce more than 700 billion units each year.
Gov. Pete Ricketts, said, "With four manufacturing plants across our state, BD is a great example of a company that understands the value of investing in its Nebraska workforce to support its global business," said. My economic development team has built a strong, collaborative relationship with BD, and we look forward to helping the company continue to invest and grow in our state.
The up gradation of the Columbus-East facility will take about four-years during which the company plans to continue manufacturing its current pre-fillable glass syringe production lines.

Q: NodeJS change MySQL column name when displaying data I am creating an API using NodeJS+Express that display a bunch of data from MySQL. The real column name in MySQL is user_id, user_salary. But I don't want it to be appear on screen, so I want to change to something like (user_id -> ID, user_salary-> SAL, so in JSON format, my data it will be:
{"status":200,"response":"SUCCESS","data":[{"ID":"OV100","SAL":100000},{"ID":"OV1000","SAL":1000000},{"ID":"OV150","SAL":150000}]}

I have googling about this but no luck.
Thank you for your help.

A: You can either do this in SQL, in JS over at your backend, or even in your frontend.
Do it in SQL
Use AS.
const sql = 'select user_id as "ID", user_salary as "SAL" from salary';

Do it in JS
Use Array.map.
conn.query(sql, (err, results) => {
    if(results.length)
        res.end(JSON.stringify({
          "status": 200,

Booksellers Without Borders: Fairy Interesting: OUAT "Child of the Moon"
2.7 "Child of the Moon"
Tonight in Storybrooke Ruby has to confront the first full moon since the curse has broken. Her magic red suppressant cloak is missing and she's terrified of killing someone else she loves. After she breaks out of the makeshift freezer cell and her new romantic interest shows up brutally murdered, she fears the worst. David Charming continues to grow on me moving from one of my least favorite characters last season to one of my favorites, and we get another glimpse of Belle, surrounded by her books. Henry's nightmares are getting worse, so Mr. Gold gives him a magic necklace free of charge and Regina is actually acting like a good mother figure.
In flashback Fairy World Red finds that Granny lied to her when she discovers a pack of werewolves led by her ... mother. But when she's forced to choose between her mother and Snow, Red has a difficult choice to make.
And in the tiniest glimpse of Alterna Fairy World Aurora sees Henry in her fiery nightmare as he puts out the flames with the magic necklace.
Now that I'm getting used to the new format I'm handling the focus on one story line at a time a lot better. I also think that the writers are beginning to handle the juggling a lot better as well.
First can I just say that Gus/Billy was the cutest thing of ever, though I wish he'd been a little pudgier, like the mouse. And Ruby's total skittishness was so sad as you could just see her fear and pain of losing another "Peter" in her eyes. And of course, then it happens. It was incredibly cruel of the writers to kill off Gus-Gus so quickly! So not nice.
When Snow stopped to look at her wanted poster all I could think was Eugene from Tangled because that really didn't look anything like her!
I wasn't really sure why Red took off her cloak to wash her face. It felt a little bit like a plot pusher, but you know. Also, Quinn was a total jerk face. I was definitely not upset when he died. Ahem.
Wasn't surprised to find out that the pack leader was Red's mother, but I didn't really buy her story that Granny just stole Red. She's had all this time, but she waits until now to get Red's attention? I felt something not quite right with her explanation.
And was it just me, or did it seem WAY too easy to kill a werewolf. Maybe I'm just tainted by other werewolfy stuff I've read and seen, but a simple arrow to the chest? Shouldn't it have been more complicated?
I also wasn't really surprised when she wanted Red to turn on Snow. However, the anti-human sentiment was nicely played all the way around. I loved that last scene with Snow and Red where Red realizes that she has to be "both" the wolf and the human (which plays in nicely with the fairy tale/modern dichotomy as well) and the look of pure joy on Ruby's face when she hands David the cloak was wonderful.
Speaking of David. He is absolutely adorable, especially in his dealings with Henry. And I find it interesting that he trusts Regina enough with Henry's welfare to call her when he needs to leave.
I think I'm just having a hard time seeing her as anything but pure evil after the complete villainization the writers did with her character last season. I know we got some glimpses of who she used to be, but honestly, the change in her has been a little too drastic a little too quickly for me to really buy it. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
But back to David - his handling of Ruby was so sweet and he plays the earnest sweetness of "Prince Charming" so believably. It could come off as a little too much, but he pulls it off perfectly. He's also got a great strength as well. He's got the backbone he never really had when he was David and even when he was Charming. Widmore--I mean Spencer has no idea who he's dealing with now.
In his plain clothes I still totally think Widmore. So much so that I couldn't even remember the king's real name. I was thinking King Charles, but then I realized that's Widmore again. So King George is totally skeevy. And way out of control. When he was rallying that mob I was like, what are you? Gaston going after the beast? Really?
I really suspected Spencer/King George from the beginning, but not in any conscious way. But I knew where it was going as soon as they got to the car. Definitely a long way to go to set up the sherriff. His rage seems a little blown out of proportion, but I keep feeling like I'm forgetting something from last season.
I wonder if there's some sort of spell around Henry to make everyone be totally nice to him. I would love to think that Mr. Gold is doing this out of the goodness of his heart, but somehow I feel like something's off. I'm not usually so cynical when it comes to people's motives! Of course, if the necklace and the dreams are the key to opening up new portals, then Gold could be using Henry to figure out a way to open a portal so he can go back to whatever he was doing before (when Jefferson was collecting portal makers for him). I definitely feel like he has a much bigger endgame in sight and I'm excited to see where it all leads.
I can't believe we have to wait 2 whole weeks! Gah!

1,500 Adventist Women Pledge to Shine for Jesus in Cameroon
By: Abraham Bakari, West Central Africa Division News & Adventist Review
About 1,500 Seventh-day Adventist women from ten different regions of Cameroon recently met for fellowship, prayer, and praise. From far and near, women traveled to the Place du Cinquantenaire venue in Ngaoundéré, the head city of the Adamawa region, in central-northern Cameroon, for the Second National Adventist Women Ministries Congress, from April 2 to 8, 2018.
Cameroon Union church region president Valère Assembe and West-Africa Division (WAD) Women Ministries director Obomonike Sessou were also present at the event, as well as local and regional government officers.
In his address to the crowd, one of the government representatives invited commented how much he enjoyed being present at the Adventist women's event. "I marvel to see such a gathering and commitment from women of various ages," he said.
Just a couple of hours before, he had witnessed how, as part of the opening program, Adventist women had walked through the major streets of the 200,000-populationcity giving away books and leaflets.
Prayer, Witnessing, and Commitment
Attendees and organizers agree that the most important feature of the event was prayer. Much prayer.
Nathal Wandji, one of the participants, reported that women who shared her dormitory would wake up at 3 a.m. and pray until 4.00. That spiritual exercise was the cornerstone of the congress, attendees said.
The event theme, "Women for Christ, Light of the World, Be Lighted Up!" was not just a slogan but a reality, said organizers, as women shone all over the city. They could be seen everywhere, and the city took notice.
Amadawa Conference church region president Madi Yaya said Adventist women put the church in the spotlight. "The presence of the participants increased the visibility of the church in Nagoundéré," he said. "The church has won more respect and consideration."
Adventist women carried out humanitarian activities through assistance to specific people groups in need, including the elderly. They also received training and shared powerful testimonies of healing and restoration.
During the event, a graduation ceremony was held for the women who completed leadership training programs. Sessou congratulated the women as she handed them certificates and praised them for their efforts. "You showed that you deserve these certificates," she said.
The congress concluded on Saturday, April 7. The previous day the 1,500 attendees enjoyed a special Lord's Supper service. Participants left the venue spiritually energized and ready for the next meetings — the WAD-wide Women's Ministries congress in Ghana in 2019, and the next national event in Cameroon in 2021.
In his farewell address, Assembe pleaded with the women not to let their lights die out. "Take care lest your light could turn into darkness!" he told them.
Sessou left them words of encouragement and an invitation.
"Keep shining for Jesus!" she said.
Event Connects Adventist German-Speaking Women from 3 Countries
Four-day event included 220 participants from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
Adventists Help Dozens of Communities across Venezuela
Annual initiative gets more than 20,000 church members involved in sharing cheer and hope.

HomeIN DEPTHMonsoon 2015Big story Story
Despite surplus rains in June, monsoon may still be deficient
Jyotindra Dubey | Tuesday, June 30, 2015 | 21:06 IST
A strong monsoon in June alone cannot guarantee an equally good overall monsoon which spreads over four months (June to September).
Principal research analyst Jyotindra Dubey
First came the warning from the India Meteorological Department (IMD): for the second successive year, India was expected to receive deficient rainfall. Then came the surprise: as on 24th June, India had witnessed 24 per cent above-normal rainfall. So does it mean that the IMD was being too negative in its predictions? If the monsoon has started on a good note, one can only expect it to improve, right? Not necessarily.
A strong monsoon in June alone cannot guarantee an equally good overall monsoon which spreads over four months (June to September). During June, almost every part of India witnessed rains above-normal rain benchmark, apart from Northwest India which saw a 5 per cent deficit rainfall between June 1st and 24th June. Although hopes for a normal monsoon rain have started building, historical evidences suggests otherwise. If we look at the last ten years of monsoon data released by the IMD, statistically there is not much of correlation between the June rainfall and the overall monsoon.
Traditionally, June has contributed the least to the overall monsoon rainfall. If we take the average of the last ten years, the rainfall in June adds up to only 17 per cent of the total monsoon rainfall. It is actually July which contributes the most and is also extremely crucial month in terms of Kharif crop sowing. July has contributed 33 per cent to the overall monsoon on an average and if we included August too, the two months have combined to contribute 62 per cent in the last ten years.
Worryingly, and in line with the IMD predictions, the prediction so far for July is not very optimistic. Jason Nicholls, Senior Meteorologist, Accuweather (weather forecasting agency) said in a report, "July will end up being below normal across India, except along the southwestern and northeastern coasts". IMD in their second 'Stage Forecasts for 2015 Southwest Monsoon Rainfall' had also predicted an eight per cent and ten per cent deficit rain in July and August respectively.
The total kharif sown area as on 19th June 2015 is only 91.6 lakh hectares, which is 8 per cent lower than same period last year and will only pick up in July and August once the monsoon settles in central part of India. A deficient rain in coming two months will have a huge impact of kharif crop production this year.


December 25th 1991 marked the end of the Soviet Union and thus ensued a monumental challenge of how to bring about Capitalism to this once vast, Communist state. Economists from around the world were eager to give their opinions on how this dramatic change of the, now Russian economy, would come to light and through which course of direction to steer the economy to prosperity.
The Russian Republic of the Soviet Union had just under 150 million citizens in the early 1990's. As a result of Communist rule, spread throughout Russia's vast land were located hundreds of mono-industrial settlements. Each settlement had its own unique function, whether that be a factory town specialising in Nickel or a coal mining town. These towns were the backbone of Stalin's Russia from an economic and military point of view, in addition the towns provided health care and schooling for families of the workers. The workers and their families depended on their mono-industrial settlement and more importantly, each settlement depended on the next, there could be no chink in the armour.
With the fall of the Soviet Union the population of Russia from 1992 began to decrease dramatically, unusually the number of working aged men were dying at alarming rates. Researchers set out to investigate, due to the secrecy surrounding the former Soviet Union researchers took the view that this shocking increase in the country's death rate was attributed to a fatal disease outbreak or toxic pollutants inhaled in the factories of the mono-settlements. Nevertheless investigators found that Russia's transition from a Soviet Socialist Republic into a Western Market Economy lead to tragedy and a demographic crisis. The key element highlighted was that the transition wasn't to blame but, the polices undertaken to achieve this fundamental change.
The following graph puts into perspective the sheer, sudden rise in the death rate post collapse of the Soviet Union in Russia. We can compare this to Poland or the Czech Republic who went through a similar transition from during the early 1990s but instead of using Shock Therapy methods took a gradualist approach to the transition and ultimately prospered.
The collapse brought about a chain reaction of destruction throughout the mono-settlements, as one fell it bankrupted its dependent. Overnight millions had lost their only source of income, schools and hospitals shut down and the mono-settlements became ghost towns.
But why the sudden death of many millions of working aged men during the transition?
The researches David Stuckler & Sanjay Basu found that after examining thousands of death certificates they identified that the majority of deaths within this category were as a result of "alcohol poisonings, suicides, homicides and injuries and heart attacks." The deaths occurred over a very short period of time which was attributed to Russian men self medicating with alcohol on a monumental scale. Social anxiety and alcohol come hand in hand and due to the settlements being located many thousands of miles away from Moscow or St Petersburg it was impossible to travel to find work and as a result a sense of hopelessness embedded itself within the communities.
A key issue that became apparent was that it wasn't the quantity of alcohol but the type of alcohol which was causing an increasingly detrimental effect to the death rate. As workers were unemployed, to keep costs low alcohol was commercially produced from bleaches, aerosols etc which were sold as perfumes to avoid tax.
Not only did the death rate, specifically amongst working aged men but the economy suffered in tandem.
It was estimated that up to 10 million men died as a result of the collapse and establishment of a market based economy, this figure still resinates in Russia today as statistically there are more Russian women than men.
As stated previously, the transition was not to blame but the rate at which it took place. Both Poland and The Czech Republic prospered as EU member states and during the transition they attracted large amounts of FDI, in addition they were strict on the process of privatisation as to not allow for an emergence of Oligarchs to bring disparity and income inequality amongst the citizens.

The Implacable-class aircraft carrier consisted of two aircraft carriers built for the Royal Navy during World War II. Derived from the design of the , they were faster and carried more aircraft than the older ships. They were initially assigned to the Home Fleet when completed in 1944 and attacked targets in Norway as well as the . Subsequently, they were assigned to the British Pacific Fleet (BPF).

 was the first ship to go to the Pacific and attacked Japanese-controlled oil refineries in Sumatra en route. She participated in Operation Iceberg, the invasion of Okinawa in March–April 1945. s arrival in the Pacific was delayed by a refit and she did not begin operations against the Japanese until June. The sister ships participated in the attacks on the Japanese Home Islands in July and August. Indefatigable was the only carrier chosen to continue operations after most of the BPF withdrew to prepare for further operations in early August. After the Japanese formal surrender in September, Implacable ferried Allied troops and prisoners of war back to Australia and Canada for the rest of the year.

The sisters returned home in 1946; Indefatigable was used for the rest of the year to transport troops before being placed in reserve in 1947 and Implacable became the training carrier for Home Fleet. Indefatigable was converted into a training ship and reactivated in 1950 for service with the Home Fleet. Implacable was relegated to the reserve that same year and modified into a training ship in 1952. The sisters were scheduled for modernisation during the mid-1950s, but it was cancelled as the modernisation of the carrier in the queue ahead of them proved to be too expensive and lengthy. The sisters were decommissioned in 1954 and sold for scrap in 1955–1956.

Background and description
The Implacable class had its origin as an improved version of the Illustrious-class aircraft carriers for the 1938 Naval Programme while still remaining within the  available from the tonnage allowed by the Second London Naval Treaty. The initial change was to increase the carriers' speed to no less than  which required the addition of a fourth steam turbine and associated propeller shaft. Offsetting the additional weight of the machinery meant reductions in armour thicknesses in the hangar deck and the bulkheads at the ends of the hangar. At the same time the Director of Naval Construction (DNC) was developing a different modified Illustrious design (Design D) to carry an additional dozen aircraft (a total of 48) in a lower hangar that also incorporated the additional machinery of the initial design with the sacrifice of even more armour. Hangar height was initially planned as  in the upper hangar to accommodate the new Fairey Albacore torpedo bomber and  in the lower hangar to accommodate taller amphibious aircraft, but a later change in policy raised the upper hangar height to . Design D was submitted to the Board of Admiralty on 2 August 1938 and approved on 17 November.  In April 1939 the lower hangar's height was reduced to 14 feet to compensate for the thickening of the hangar side armour to  and the idea of carrying amphibians in the hangar was abandoned.

The Implacable-class ships were  long overall and  at the waterline. Their beam was  at the waterline and they had a draught of  at deep load. The ships were significantly overweight and displaced  at deep load. Their complement was approximately 2,300 officers and enlisted men in 1945. They had metacentric heights of  at light load and  at deep load as completed.

The ships were fitted with four Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one shaft using steam supplied by eight Admiralty 3-drum boilers. The turbines were designed to produce a total of , enough to give them a maximum speed of . On their sea trials, the ships reached speeds of  with . The Implacable class carried a maximum of  of fuel oil which gave them a range of  at .

The  armoured flight deck had a maximum width of . The arrestor cables, crash barricades, aircraft catapult and lifts were designed to handle aircraft up to  in weight. The carriers were fitted with nine arrestor cables aft that were designed to stop landing, at speeds of up to . They were backed up by three crash barricades to prevent landing aircraft from crashing into aircraft parked on the ship's bow. In case of damage to the rear flight deck, the Implacable-class ships also mounted three additional forward arrestor cables to permit aircraft to land over the bow. A single BH3 hydraulic catapult was fitted on the forward part of the flight deck to launch 20,000-pound aircraft at ; lighter aircraft could be launched at a maximum speed of . The ships were equipped with two lifts on the centreline, the forward of which measured  and served only the upper hangar, and the aft lift () which served both hangars. The upper hangar was  long and the lower hangar was  long; both had a uniform width of . Both hangars had a height of only 14 feet which precluded storage of Lend-Lease Vought F4U Corsair fighters as well as many post-war aircraft and helicopters. In case of fire the upper hangar could be divided by two fire curtains and the lower hangar had one fire curtain. Designed to stow 48 aircraft in their hangars, the use of a permanent deck park allowed the Implacable class to accommodate up to 81 aircraft. The crewmen, maintenance personnel and facilities needed to support these additional aircraft were housed in the lower hangar. The ships were provided with  of petrol, only enough for approximately five sorties per aircraft.

Armament, electronics, and armour
The ships' main armament consisted of sixteen QF  Mark II dual-purpose guns in eight powered RP 10 Mk II** twin-gun turrets, four in sponsons on each side of the hull. Unlike the Illustrious-class ships, the roofs of the gun turrets were flat and flush with the flight deck. The gun had a maximum range of  at an elevation of +45° and a ceiling of . Their light anti-aircraft defences included five octuple mounts for QF 2-pounder ("pom-pom") anti-aircraft guns, two on the flight deck forward of the island, one on the aft part of the island and two in sponsons on the port side of the hull. A single quadruple 2-pounder mount was also fitted on the port side of the hull. The 2-pounder gun had a maximum range of . The two ships were also fitted with approximately sixty Oerlikon 20 mm autocannon in varying numbers of single and twin-gun mounts. These guns had a maximum range of , but many were replaced by 40 mm Bofors AA guns when the ships were transferred to the Pacific War as the 20 mm shell was unlikely to destroy a kamikaze before it hit the ship. The Bofors gun had a maximum range of . Two additional quadruple "pom-pom" mounts were added to Implacable before she joined the British Pacific Fleet in 1945. After the war, more Oerlikons were exchanged for Bofors guns. By April 1946, the sisters had 11–12 Bofors guns and 19–30 Oerlikons each.

The 4.5-inch guns were controlled by four Mk V* (M) fire-control directors, each mounting a Type 285 gunnery radar. Two of the directors were positioned on the flight deck, one each fore and aft of the island, a third was on the island, aft of the funnel, and the fourth director was on the port side of the hull, below the flight deck. Each director sent its data to a Fuze Keeping Clock AA fire-control system for gunnery calculations. Each "pom-pom" was provided with its own Mk IV director that carried a range-only Type 282 gunnery radar.

The specifics of the Implacable-class ships' radar suite is not readily available in published sources. They were fitted with the Type 277 surface-search/height-finding radar on top of the bridge and a Type 293 target indicator radar on the foremast. The ships probably carried Type 279 and Type 281B early-warning radars, based on the radars fitted aboard the Illustrious-class carrier  late in the war.

The Implacable-class ships had a flight deck protected by  of armour. The sides of the hangars were designed to be  thick to protect the hangar from low-level attacks with  semi-armour-piercing bombs, but were supposedly thickened to  late in the design process at the cost of reducing the height of the lower hangar. Naval historian Norman Friedman wrote: "Ironically, it appears that the ships were actually built with 1.5-inch ... armour." The ends of the hangars were protected by 2-inch bulkheads and the armour of the hangar deck ranged from  in thickness.

The waterline armour belt was  thick, but only covered the central portion of the ship to form the armoured citadel. The belt was closed by 1.5 to 2-inch transverse bulkheads fore and aft. The underwater defence system was a layered system of liquid- and air-filled compartments as used in the Illustrious class and was estimated to be able to resist a  explosive charge. The magazines for the 4.5-inch guns lay outside the armoured citadel and were protected by 2 to 3-inch thick roofs, 4.5-inch sides and 1.5 to 2-inch ends.

Planned modernisation
The two Implacables were tentatively scheduled to be modernised in 1953–55 with Implacable following Victorious. The draft Staff Requirements were drawn up in July 1951. This included combining the two hangars into a single  hangar, strengthening the flight deck and aircraft handling equipment to deal with  aircraft, enlarging the lifts to , adding a gallery deck between the hangar and the flight deck to accommodate the additional personnel required, the addition of steam catapults, and the increase of her aviation fuel stowage to . Other desired improvements were new boilers to increase her endurance, more space for the latest radars, and the replacement of her anti-aircraft armament with the British version of the 3"/70 Mark 26 gun and sextuple mounts for the Bofors guns.

By October 1951, the estimated completion date for Victoriouss modernisation was already a year past the initial estimate of April 1954. Implacable was scheduled to begin her modernisation in April 1953 for completion in 1956, but the Director of Dockyards pointed out that existing schedules prevented her from beginning any earlier than April 1955 unless the modernisations of two cruisers and the guided missile test ship RFA Girdle Ness were delayed. The Controller of the Navy asked if the time and cost of the reconstruction could be reduced, but the minimum modifications were the most expensive as they involved structural alterations. The Controller ordered the Director of Dockyards to plan for rebuilding Implacable between June 1953 and December 1956 even after the latter protested that even a limited modernisation would require about three-quarters of the structural work of the original plan and that the shortage of skilled workers (already insufficient for Victorious by herself) would delay work on both ships. In order to reduce the amount of structural work, the requirement to replace the boilers was cancelled and the ship would receive existing radars instead of systems then still under development. In January 1952, the ship's new armament was finalized at six twin-gun 3"/70 mounts and three sextuple Bofors mounts. Five months later the Admiralty decided that Victorious would be the last fleet carrier modernised as experience showed that the process would take longer and cost more than was practicable.

Ships

Construction and service

Two ships were originally planned, but only one carrier was included in the 1938 Naval Programme as the other was delayed a year by the government. While under construction, the ships had their forward lift enlarged to take non-folding aircraft like the Hawker Sea Hurricane and the early models of the Supermarine Seafire, the flight deck was widened abreast the forward lift, splinter protection was added as were seven diesel generators, each in their own watertight compartment. All these changes increased the ships' displacement by  at deep load.

Implacables construction was suspended in 1940 in favour of escorts needed in the Battle of the Atlantic so that the two carriers were launched within days of each other. She embarked portions of her air wing for training in late August and was assigned to the Home Fleet on 7 October at Scapa Flow after working up. She joined ships searching for Tirpitz a week later and some of her Fairey Fireflies spotted the battleship off Håkøya Island near Tromsø. Subsequently, her Fireflies successfully attacked targets in Norway. In late October, the carrier's Seafires arrived and she participated in Operation Athletic off the Norwegian coast, sinking four warships and two merchant ships and damaging a German submarine. In November and December, Implacable provided air cover for minelaying operations and attacked German shipping off the Norwegian coast. On 15 December she began a refit at Rosyth preparatory to her transfer to the BPF, which included augmenting her light AA armament.

When the refit was completed on 10 March 1945, the ship embarked an enlarged air wing with 81 aircraft (48 Seafires, 12 Fireflies, and 21 Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bombers), the largest number of aircraft aboard a British carrier up to that time. Implacable arrived at Sydney, Australia, in May and joined the other carriers of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron (1st ACS) at Manus Island after their return from the invasion of Okinawa in June. On 14–15 June, the carrier attacked the Japanese naval base at Truk. After working up with the other carriers, the ship sailed with the 1st ACS on 6 July to rendezvous with the American carriers of Task Force 38 off the Japanese home island of Honshu ten days later. The British carriers began flying sorties against Japanese targets on Honshu on 17 July and Implacables aircraft, before departing the area on 11 August to replenish, flew over 1,000 sorties. She arrived at Sydney on 24 August and spent most of the rest of the year ferrying Allied prisoners of war and soldiers back to Australia and Canada. In January 1946, together with her sister Indefatigable and several other ships, she made a number of port visits in Australia and New Zealand. The ship was refitted in Sydney in preparation for her return home on 3 June where she became the deck-landing training carrier for the Home Fleet.

Implacable temporarily became a trials carrier in October 1947 as her own air group was not yet ready and she was refitted from October to December 1948 in preparation of service as the Home Fleet flagship. She embarked a squadron each of de Havilland Sea Hornets and Blackburn Firebrands in April 1949 and became the flagship of Admiral Sir Philip Vian on 29 April. A squadron of de Havilland Sea Vampires flew from her deck later that year and her air group was augmented by a squadron of Fairey Barracudas in 1950. Implacable was placed in reserve in September 1950 and slowly converted into a training ship by the addition of extra accommodation and classrooms, including the addition of a deckhouse on her flight deck. She was recommissioned in January 1952 as the flagship of the Home Fleet Training Squadron. Together with Indefatigable, she was present during the Coronation Fleet Review of Queen Elizabeth II on 15 June 1953. Four months later, Implacable ferried a battalion of troops from Plymouth to Trinidad in response to a crisis in British Guiana. She was decommissioned on 1 September 1954 and sold for breaking up on 27 October 1955.

While Indefatigable was still conducting builder's trials, a de Havilland Mosquito landed aboard on 25 March 1944, piloted by Lieutenant Eric Brown. This was the first landing by a twin-engined aeroplane on a carrier. After working up the ship was assigned to the Home Fleet in early July 1944 with an air group of Seafires, Fireflies and Barracudas. On 17 July, she participated in Operation Mascot, an attack on Tirpitz that was foiled by German smoke screens. The following month, Indefatigables aircraft provided air cover to minelaying operations and attacked targets in Norway. She was also assigned to a series of attacks on Tirpitz, Operation Goodwood, in late August which failed to significantly damage the battleship.

Indefatigable was assigned to the BPF in November and she arrived in Colombo, Ceylon, on 10 December where she joined the 1st ACS. Together with the other carriers of the BPF, she attacked oil refineries in Sumatra in January 1945 (Operation Lentil and Operation Meridian) before sailing to Sydney to prepare for operations in the Pacific. The BPF joined the American Fifth Fleet at Ulithi on 20 March and attacked airfields on the Sakishima Islands, south of Okinawa, beginning on 26 March, as part of the preparations for Operation Iceberg. During these operations, Indefatigable became the first British carrier to be hit by a kamikaze when one penetrated the combat air patrol (CAP) and struck the base of her island on 1 April. The bomb carried by the kamikaze did not detonate and this limited casualties to 21 men killed and 27 wounded. Damage to the ship was minimal and the flight deck was back in operation thirty minutes later. After Okinawa had been secured, the BPF arrived back at Sydney on 7 June and Indefatigable was delayed rejoining operations as she required repairs to her machinery. She departed Manus on 12 July and reached the coast of Japan eight days later. Her aircraft began attacking targets in the Inland Sea on 24 July. Most of the BPF withdrew as planned on 10 August to prepare for Operation Olympic, the invasion of Kyushu scheduled for November, but Indefatigable and several other ships remained to represent Britain at the end of operations. The ship's aircraft flew missions on 13 and 15 August; during the last of these missions, her Seafires shot down eight of twelve Mitsubishi A6M Zeros while losing one of their own and an Avenger gunner shot down another Japanese aircraft. After the ceasefire, her aircraft continued to fly CAP and flew reconnaissance missions looking for Allied prisoners of war.

Indefatigable arrived at Sydney on 18 September and began a leisurely refit that lasted until 15 November. After touring Australia and New Zealand, she arrived at Spithead on 15 March 1946 where she was modified to accommodate over 1,900 passengers. She ferried troops to and from Australia, Ceylon, Singapore and America for the rest of the year before being placed in reserve at the beginning of 1947. The ship was modified for use as a training ship and recommissioned in 1950 for service with the Home Fleet Training Squadron. She was decommissioned at Rosyth in October 1954 and towed to Gareloch in June 1955 where she was listed for disposal. Indefatigable was sold for scrap in September 1956 and subsequently broken up.

For those of you who don't know what the command line is, it is simply a text based way of interacting with your computer. No mouse to click on icons and select from a drop-down menu with. Sounds awful, right? Well over the past three years, I have come to love the command line, but when I first encountered it, it was painful and I didn't quiet see the point. But with practice, it is actually quicker and easier to do many things in the command line than it would be if someone designed a graphical program instead.
A dataset with hundreds of thousands of rows would be be a nightmare to work with in Excel, but in the command line, not much of a problem at all. Most biological datasets are just some form of a plain text file. Whether it is a fasta file (.fasta/.fa) for storing sequences in, a fastq file for storing reads from a sequence run in (.fastq/.fq), or a genome annotation file (.GTF/.GFF), all plain text files. The UNIX command line has many powerful tools for dealing with text files. So it is perfect for a computational biologist. Many of the tasks you might want to learn programming for can actually be implemented with simple tools from the command line, without a single bit of programming.
There are plenty of places online to get used to working with the command line interface in a UNIX(-like) environment online. I would suggest these as good places to start. This post isn't a tutorial per se, but is a taster to try to get you in the right mindset before starting down the rabbit hole.
The first thing that you should realise is that a table in Excel is basically just a giant text file with extra annotations. To make a table, you don't need Excel, all you need are values, with special characters (usually commas or tabs) to separate the columns, and a new line symbol to separate the rows. Here we will imagine you are working with a tab-delimited text file (.tsv/.tab/.txt) with transcript expression information.
To access the command line, you need a program to open a terminal in the bash language. These are native to Macs and Linux systems. You can emulate them on Windows with programs like Cygwin, and now Windows has its own native Linux terminal with Ubuntu on Windows (https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh4msv6). The text file used in the below examples is available here. But only attempt to follow along at home after taking some lessons from the above resources.
Notice how there is an overlap of the lines shown by both head and tail. That's because the file is very small, with only 16 lines (including the header). We can count the exact number of lines with the simple but useful command: wc -l.
Now maybe instead of printing the filtered lines to the screen, we wanted count the number of transcripts annotated as our gene of interest. On the command line, we can link our programs together, the output of one (grep) can become the input of another (wc -l) by piping. To pipe the output of one command into another we use the | symbol.
It is easy for us to count to three, but when working with a much larger file with more transcripts and genes, this comes in handy.
You can also do a grep to find lines that do NOT include your string with the -v option.
Now imagine that you do not want to print the results of a grep to the screen, but instead you wanted to make a new file. You can do that with a redirect >.
There are many other UNIX tools out there and with many uses. In my next post, I discuss the very powerful command line tool AWK. AWK is an incredible filterer, however, I did not find it an intuitive one to learn. But after getting some of the basics, I have found that by writing a simple AWK one-liner (a command all on one line of text), I can replace some of my Python programs. This saves me time coding, debugging the syntax mistake I inevitably make, and the AWK one-liners are even faster than my Python code. So, once you have mastered the basics of bash, a new world of super-powerful and super-fast commands will be at your fingertips.


What's better than doing DIY projects inspired by the things you enjoy the most? That's why we've been looking for as many unique and diverse bird inspired crafts as we can find lately, for both ourselves and our kids, who we're lucky to have passed on both our love for birds and our infatuation with the world of crafting and DIY to.
Just in case you're as interested in the idea of doing some bird themed crafts and projects as we were, if not more, here are 15 of the best designs we've found in our creative avian searches so far.
Have you ever seen just how intricate and stunning rolled paper techniques like paper quilling can really look when they're done by experts who have been practicing for years? Well, we're certainly not experts and we know that most people around us aren't either, but that doesn't mean you can't practice crafty paper rolling techniques as a simpler level! After all, everyone starts and learns somewhere. Check out how Librarian on Display made these lovely little birds by cutting, folding, and rolling paper in strategic places to make the body, head, tail, beak, and wings.
In our house, the crafts that always go over the best on family DIY days are always the ones where everyone starts out with the same basic idea and then embellishes their own styles from there to create similar projects but with a personal flare. Our kids adore following the same theme and then looking at each other's finished work at the end of the day and comparing who did which parts differently and admiring how fantastic each other's work is, even if parts of it are similar or different. That's why these crafting stick birds featured on Craftionary were such a hit! We all started out with a base of popsicles sticks glued together and a set of googly eyes at the ready and then each person grabbed feathers, foam, paint, glitter, and so on and got to work on making an exciting little bird of their own styling.
Perhaps you come from a family of yarn crafting enthusiasts who are always picking up their knitting needles or reaching for their crochet hook, so collectively you've all got quite an impressive collection of scrap yarn ends that are too short to make something from in your usual techniques, but that you're still always hoping to find creative uses for? Then we think you sound like the perfect DIY enthusiasts to try your hand at making these absolutely darling little yarn bids featured on Guidecentral! Once you've completely their steps for making the bird itself using yarn gathering techniques, they even show you how to embellish the eyes, beak, and feet.
Did we actually really catch your attention when we started talking about paper rolling techniques, but you think perhaps your kids are actually still a little bit too young to make all those strips and pieces behave properly, even though you very much would like to start introducing them to new paper crafting techniques? Then we'd definitely suggest taking a look at how DIY Paper Crafts made an adorable little bird by using simple origami techniques instead! Their steps are clear and simple to follow, which we greatly appreciated when we tried this project out ourselves with our own kids.
Valentine's Day might not be for a number of months, since we've just been talking about the warm late summer days we're currently enjoying, but that doesn't mean we can't find future holiday ideas now and bookmark them for later so long as they're around the theme we love so much! These adorable little paper plate birds outlined step by step on Handicraft that make fantastic Valentines are the perfect idea of what we mean.
If your kids are going to spend an entire afternoon getting crafty, do you already know that you'll be able to hold their attention the best if you help them gather and work with tools and supplies that are a little more unconventional than what scissors, white glue, and construction paper they might usually use on an average day? Then we definitely think you should take a look at how The DIY Mommy made adorable mixed-media birds' nests using paper plates, fake flowers, dried pasta "sticks", and little pom pom birds.
Did we really catch your attention when we started talking about origami birds because you've always loved creating origami projects of all different shapes and kinds, but your kids are actually a little bit older and you think they might even prefer to create something that's a bit more of a challenge? Then here's a slightly more advanced origami bird pattern that actually flaps its wings if you fold it just right! Get the full details for trying it out yourself on AS World.
No matter how young or old our kids are, they've always loved projects that let them enjoy not only the crafting process itself, but also being able to use or play with whatever they've made when it's all finished at the end of the afternoon! That's why homemade toys and DIY novelty trinkets have always been such a hit in our house. These adorable little paper finger puppet birds outlined step by step on Play Kids are the perfect example of what we mean.
We've talked a whole lot of crafting projects that are themed around birds, shaped like birds, or inspired by birds until this point on our list, but what if we told you that you could also craft for the real live birds you encounter in your life? Well, Whats Up Moms is here to show you just how simple and rewarding doing that can be by walking you through the way they made an adorable heart-shaped bird feeder. Hang it in your garden and watch all the colourful songbirds stop by for a snack in the sun.
Are you very interested indeed in making a cute, DIY bird feeder that you can hang in your backyard and watch the birds from your neighbourhood enjoy each morning but you're just not sure your kids will be interested in making the harder version we showed you above, since they're still quite small and prefer to decorate things at their whim? Then we have a feeling you might get along a little better with this adorable DIY bird feeder idea make from a milk or juice carton! Get the full steps for making one of your own on PBS Parents.
Perhaps you're actually still scrolling through our list because, despite the fact that you've found lots of awesome little bird themed ideas that you think your kids will really enjoy, you'd also like to find a slightly more decor based crafting idea that's more fitting for you to do on a rainy afternoon? Then we'd suggest gathering a few pine cones from your backyard and checking out how Lia Griffith used paint, wooden beads, and felt to create these adorable little pine cone birds that you can place simply on your mantle or add string to in order to hang them like ornaments in your windows or on the trees in your yard.
Did we really catch your attention when we started talking about yarn based crafts that are themed after birds but you were actually hoping to find a real crochet pattern that will put your hook to work rather than just using your leftover scraps? In that case, we definitely think you should take a look at the way Guidecentral crocheted themselves these adorably rounded little birds, adding felt beaks and beaded eyes at the end of give them a little bit of personality.
Were your kids feeling pretty excited about the crafting stick birds idea we talked about earlier but you've actually sat down and come to the realization that you don't really have as many popsicle sticks left as you thought you did? Then maybe you'd prefer this singular stick version of a similar basic idea instead! Kix Cereal suggests embellishing each stick with feathers to make lovely, extravagant looking birds that almost resemble showgirls with their big feathered fans.
Are you and your kids perhaps still feeling most interested in the ideas that let you create something with moving parts of some kind of function when you're all done? Well, we can't say we blame you; we often find those the most interesting crafts to make as well! That's why we thought these adorable little "pecking birds" made on the end of a wooden clothespin were such a fantastic idea. Take a look at Grand Illusions to see how they're made in more detail.

Packers rally to spoil Erickson's homecoming
Alex Erickson gets tackled by a pair of Green Bay Packers on a 20-yard kickoff return to open Sunday's game. Erickson, a second-year Cincinnati Bengal and Darlington native, was making his first appearance as a pro at Lambeau Field.
Thomas Gunnell
Updated: Sept. 28, 2017, 9 a.m.
GREEN BAY – Playing in the backyard with his brothers and friends as a kid, Alex Erickson often dreamed about becoming a professional football player and one day playing at Lambeau Field for his favorite team– the Green Bay Packers.
For many kids, the dream dies right there in the backyard.
However, for Erickson, his dreams did not end there. Nor did it end after starring on the gridiron at Darlington High School or after a very successful collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Through years of hard work and dedication to the sport, Erickson realized his goal of becoming a professional football player, not for his hometown Packers, but for the Cincinnati Bengals, who signed him as an undrafted free agent following the 2016 NFL Draft.
Last Sunday, another part of Erickson's childhood dreams came true when he got his first chance to play the Packers at Lambeau Field. Unfortunately for Erickson, the return home to Wisconsin didn't live up to his dreams as the Packers rallied from a 21-7 halftime deficit to defeat the Bengals in overtime, 27-24, on a field goal by Mason Crosby.
"It was a special moment. It's something I always dreamed about as a kid. Now, I got to do it and it was special...minus the result. It wasn't what we wanted to happen, but all in all, it was a special game for me. It's not every day something like this is going to happen," reflected Erickson in the Bengals' locker room after the game.
Hundreds of fans from Darlington and southwest Wisconsin flocked to Green Bay on Sunday to cheer on Erickson. They braved an army clad in green and gold by wearing orange and black in support of their hometown hero. And, while many of them were die-hard Packer fans, they hoped for nothing but the best from at least one Bengal player.
"That's what made it so special that they were able to come support me and watch me play," said Erickson. "The support I have is unbelievable. A lot of players can't say that, so it's something I don't take for granted. It's something I cherish everyday."
The Bengals came to Lambeau Field sporting a 0-2 record on the young NFL season with an offense that had yet to score a touchdown in their two games.
Following their game against the Houston Texans Sept. 14, Cincinnati fired offensive coordinator Ken Zampese and replaced him with quarterback coach Bill Lazor.
Coming off one the most productive game of his professional career against the Texans where he rolling up 197 all-purpose yards on 11 touches, Erickson wasted no time getting into the flow of the game, taking the opening kickoff near the goal line and returning it out the Cincinnati 21-yard line before getting greeted harshly by a swarming bunch of Packer tacklers.
Welcome home, Alex!
"It was just another football game at that point. You get the mojo going and get into a rhythm of the game. I was very locked in and focused," Erickson explained. "It was no different than if I was playing at Wadzy Martin or Camp Randall. You get going and all that stuff gets blocked out."
A charged-up Bengals' offensive unit came out strong, marching 79 yards on 10 plays for their first touchdown of the season. Quarterback Andy Dalton capped the drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass to All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Green to put the Bengals up 7-0.
After the Packers tied the game on their first possession with former Badger Lance Kendrick hauling in 1-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers, but the Bengals regained the lead a Dalton to Giovanni Bernard 6-yard TD pass with 12:35 remaining in the second quarter and extended it to 21-7 moments later on a 75-yard pick six by defensive back William Jackson.
Rodgers redeemed himself by throwing two second-half touchdowns to Jordy Nelson– the first from a yard out and the second from three yards out with just 17 seconds remaining in regulation to deadlock the score at 24 all.
The Bengals received the ball first in overtime, but went 3-and-out. On the third play of the Packers' first OT possession, Rodgers hooked up with wide receiver Geronimo Allison on a 72-yard completion to set the Packers up at the Bengals' 7, and Crosby banged home the game-winning field goal two plays later to seal a 27-24 Packers' victory.
Rodgers finished 28-for-42 passing for 313 yards and three scores to lead the Packers (2-1) to the victory.
Dalton was 21-of-27 for 212 yards and two scores for the Bengals with Green making 10 catches for 111 yards and a TD.
"It was good we got the offense rolling and got some production there, but obviously we didn't have enough. We needed a few more points in the end," admitted Erickson. "It's something we can build off and turn this around to get some momentum going forward."
Erickson finished with four punt returns for 31 yards and had just that one kickoff return for 20 yards in the game. He also saw many snaps at receiver, but was not targeted by Dalton when he did get into the game.
"I'm always pretty excited to get to play. I was trying to score like I do every time I go back there (on returns)," admitted Erickson. "It would have been special to score and do a Lambeau Leap. I probably would have gotten pushed back and had beer split on me, but it would have been worth it."
Nothing would have made Erickson's fans more happy than seeing his first regular season NFL touchdown on Sunday, but he had to make sure he didn't get distracted by all family, friends and fans in crowd.
His parents were at the game with his brothers, his wife, his in-laws and even his best friend from high school along with a large group of Darlington folks who rode buses up to the game and tailgated together prior to the game.
"I knew there were going to be a lot of people here, but I had to focus on what I needed to do to be able to perform the way I wanted to perform. It added another element of focus I needed to bring because there were more distractions with people reaching out to me all week. It wasn't a hassle. It's something I appreciate," he said.
"I know these tickets aren't cheap. I know the travel isn't cheap. For people to take their hard-earned income and spend it coming to see me play and support what I'm doing, it shows the care they have and the love they have for me. I see it and I appreciate it."
Erickson ended the 2016 season with an NFL-best 810 kickoff return yards after finishing third overall in the league with 29 returns. His 27.9 yard per return average led the AFC, and he was second overall in the entire NFL.
He also led the Bengals in punt returns after returning 28 punts (eighth in NFL) for 195 yards (tied for 16th in NFL) and an average of 7.0 ypr. In 16 games, he had six catches for 71 yards (11.8 ypc.) for the Bengals.
"Special teams gets you on the field to start, but you want to play every snap if you can. It's what I've been working for to earn more reps," commented Erickson.
His hard work has caught the attention of his head coach Marvin Lewis, especially after the former Redbird led the Bengals in receiving and returns in the preseason, hauling in a team-high 12 receptions for a team-best 189 yards and leading the team in kickoff returns, two for 57 yards, and punt returns, 11 for 39 yards.
"He's a productive returner. He's a good, productive receiver. Alex makes plays every opportunity he gets. He's a good football player," said Lewis.
Through three games this season, he has returned four kickoffs for 107, 11 punts for 102 yards, had four catches for 62 yards and one rush for two yards.
"Alex has been great. Ever since he got here last year he's proven that he can play. Last year he played obviously a big role on special teams being a returner and same this year, but he's worked his way into playing more offense this year. And he deserves it. He's one of those guys that seems to do everything right and he's a good player for us," stated Dalton.
Now, the Bengals have to move on from Sunday's loss and try to get better with goal to making the playoffs. A tall task after a 0-3 start, but the Bengals have the players on the roster to get it done.
"We have a lot of talent in (the receivers' room), so it's competition every day. We push each other to take our game up to the next level," Erickson said.
Someone will get their first win this Sunday when the Bengals head to Cleveland to face the AFC North rivals, who have also started 0-3 this season. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 noon CST.

In the present study the role of L-arginine/nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway in the antinociceptive activity of pyridoxine in p-benzoquinone-induced abdominal constriction test In mouse was investigated. Pyridoxine (CAS 58-56-0) displayed dose-dependent antinociceptive activity at 0.0625-1 mg/kg (s.c.) doses. L-arginine (CAS 1119-34-2), a NO precursor, displayed a triphasic pattern as antinociception-nociception-antinociception (61.8 +/- 7.8, -36.5 +/- 12.7 and 17.0 +/- 4.3 %, 5, 40 and 50 mg/kg, s.c., respectively). The antinociceptive effect of pyridoxine at ED50 dose (0.43 mg/kg, s.c.) (47.7 +/- 3.9 %) was significantly decreased by L-arginine at 40 and 50 mg/kg doses (4.1 +/- 9.3 and 37.8 +/- 1.6 %, respectively) while 5 mg/kg dose of L-arginine significantly potentiated the pyridoxine analgesia. On the other hand, pyridoxine reversed the L-arginine-induced nociception to antinociception (4.1 +/- 9.3 %) and augmented the antinociceptive effect of L-arginine (37.8 +/- 1.6 %). L-N-G-nitroarginine methyl ester (CAS 51298-62-5), a NO synthase inhibitor, at 75 mg/kg, s.c. produced antinociception and significantly Increased the antinociceptive effect of pyridoxine (63.7 +/- 1.2 %). Methylene blue (CAS 61-73-4, MB), a guanylyl cyclase and/or NO synthase inhibitor, was antinociceptive and nociceptive at 5 and 40 mg/kg doses, respectively. 5 mg/kg dose of MB significantly increased the antinociceptive effect of pyridoxine, but did not change it at 40 mg/kg dose. On the other hand, pyridoxine significantly decreased the antinociceptive effect of MB and reversed the MB-Induced nociception to antinociception. Combination of pyridoxine and morphine (CAS 57-27-2) (ED50: 0.13 mg/kg, s.c.) at 49.8 +/- 1.9 % revealed a significant antinociceptive potentiation (69.1 +/- 1.8 %). The findings of the present study emphasise the contribution of central and/or peripheral L-arginine/NO/cGMP nociceptive processes In pyridoxine-Induced antinociception.

Expresses satisfaction with steps taken to reduce malnutrition
Union Cabinet Minister for Textiles and Women and Child Development Smriti Irani held meetings with government officials in the city on Monday to take stock of Central schemes in the State. Senior officials said Ms. Irani expressed satisfaction with the steps taken by the government to reduce malnutrition in rural, semi-urban and urban areas while urging the need for more work on bringing down child deaths. The Member of Parliament from Amethi Lok Sabha constituency also reviewed the Centrally-funded Smart Anganwadi programme for rural areas, the immunisation programme for children, efforts to bring down child deaths, progress in POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) cases and other awareness programmes in the meeting, said officials.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and senior secretaries of the respective departments were also present during the meetings. The Maharashtra team appraised the minister of the mother and child healthcare initiatives taken by the State Government in the past five years. "The Chief Minister briefed her on various initiatives and programmes of the government for eliminating malnutrition and on mother and child healthcare. The minister appreciated Maharashtra's consistency in keeping all the programmes on track," said an official from the Chief Minister's Office.
Ms. Irani said she was satisfied with the progress made by the government in implementing the programmes. "I have met and discussed with the Maharashtra Chief Minister nutrition programmes and initiatives. The development of anganwadis and programmes for eliminating malnutrition in rural, semi urban and urban areas is satisfactory and the work of the State government is commendable," she said.
The State Health Minister had last week announced successful implementation of health measures and a dip in malnutrition deaths. Severe acute malnutrition is down to 219 in June 2019 from 861 in 2016, and moderate malnutrition to around 2,000 in June 2019 from 4,315 in 2016, he said. Mr. Shinde said government was even requesting village elders to encourage women to seek treatment at health centres.
Ms. Irani later chaired a meeting with officials at the Textiles Commissioner Office in the city to review the implementation of various schemes.

GM Invests $44.5 Million in Lansing Grand River Plant
New logistics center improves efficiency and quality, creates 200 jobs
LANSING, Mich. – General Motors today announced a $44.5 million investment to build a Logistics Optimization Center at its Lansing Grand River Assembly plant, creating 200 new jobs.
The investment will be used to build a 400,000-square-foot building adjacent to the plant to sequence and assemble parts to make manufacturing more flexible at the site. Lansing Grand River is home of the Cadillac ATS, the North American Car of the Year.
"This project is the latest example of how we're doing business differently in GM today," said Christine Sitek, GM North America manufacturing manager. "We've developed an innovative material strategy that increases efficiency and improves quality to benefit our customers, employees and the bottom line."
This investment will save money and improve efficiency by leveraging available plant real estate and streamlining the flow of materials. It will reduce transportation and contribute to improved quality by reducing handling.
"This investment was earned through the quality and flexibility that has been a hallmark of Lansing Grand River since it opened in 2001," said Lansing Regional Plant Manager Tony Francavilla. "However, our plant could not be successful without the strong support from our local community, the city council and Mayor Virg Bernero. We're committed to continuing world-class manufacturing performance for which we are known, and our customers demand."
Said Mayor Bernero: "Our hometown car company has done it again with this incredible new investment at Lansing Grand River. GM is building the best autos in the world and we are thrilled to be a key part of their strategy to compete and win in the global marketplace."
The plant currently builds the Cadillac ATS and the three Cadillac CTS models – sedan, coupe and wagon, as well as high-performance V-Series models of each. The CTS and ATS models have amassed a list of awards, including:
Car and Driver 10Best List for five straight years (CTS-V Sedan, Coupe and Wagon)

Q: Automatically set value in database during data insertion? My website is built in Laravel and if I add an item to the website, the URL is automatically set in a certain format.  I like the format.  What I am wondering is how can I edit the INSERT code so that the URL is set when I insert multiple rows of data into the database via file import (I am using a file import script)?  The URL is not in the file itself.  Everytime a row is inserted into the database, the URL should automatically be set for that particular item.
The Add Item form on the website uses the following code to automatically set the URL:
            $find=array(",","."," ");
            $replace=array("","","-");
            $titleurl = str_replace($find,$replace, $sname);
              $url='schools/'.strtolower($titleurl);
              $check=schools::where('url', '=', $url)->first();
              if(count($check)>0){
                   return redirect()->back()
                ->with('message', 'Looks like there is a similar school. please review post');
              }

Example of what my INSERT code looks like:
      $query = "INSERT INTO schools (
            id,
            name
       ) VALUES (
        '$id',
        '$name'
         )";

This workshop combines the craft of classic "hand drawn" animating with modern technology.
Participants work individually on concept art, plot structure and animating to create their very own unique short films which will then be collated and shared via Vimeo or YouTube. The workshop is primarily a practical workshop, with a brief introduction to some animation theory in order to provide background and context.
Students work on designated apps to create and edit their animations. The ability to draw is not a pre requisite and all levels are welcome. We provide iPads to deliver the workshop, or students can work on their own devices.
Digital animation can be delivered in half or full days workshops.
