Sunday Gold Review - One Last Job
It's always about one last job
The big break is always around the corner. You go in one last time, you make your final run, you score big, you break even. Whether it's a video game or real life, these are the lies we tell ourselves to mitigate the crushing loss and disappointment of our poor decisions—the next big bet is going to solve everything.
In Sunday Gold, Frank has convinced himself that the big break is right around the bend. Living in a rapidly disintegrating brutalist future London, Frank is just one of many down on their luck and ruined by the oppression of corporate oligarchies, out-of-control rent prices, and violent inflation. It's a city foreign and familiar, that may have once been a bustling haven but is now a dystopian crush of rain, blood, and bodies. Frank only has to be thrown out on his ass one more time to face the truth: things are not going to get better. And that's when opportunity strikes.

The Haves and the Have Nots
Sunday Gold gathers Frank, his partner Sally, and unknown ex-corporate geek Gavin together as they seek to succeed in a final heist that strikes at the very heart of one of the city's most nefarious billionaires. As they traverse the business tower of Kenny Hogan and go toe-to-toe with hired guns, villains, and former allies, Frank and company realize that their final job might truly be that. Dangerous, blood-soaked, and grim, the job is not what it seems, and neither are any of the people involved.
Cobbling together RPG elements, turn-based combat, point-and-click adventure puzzles, and visual novel flair, Sunday Gold is a fascinating cocktail of theme and action. It carries the same brackish style as Disco Elysium, and like that magnum opus, Sunday Gold is no stranger to grim settings, foul language, humanist themes, and disheveled characters. While it might carry itself like Blade Runner, there are many inspirations drawn from a wide idea board of cyberpunk, detective noir, and classic heist films.
The gameplay loop itself is fairly addictive—both combat actions and explorative actions are shared by AP, which can only be replenished at the end of a turn. Ending your turn on the map will heighten the chance that enemies find you and a battle may ensue. Ending your turn in battle restores AP and throws up a guard that mitigates damage. The actual turn-based combat is fairly straightforward, with your typical blend of buffs, debuffs, heals, and special attacks.
One wrench in the works is the composure system—characters who suffer too much anxiety from the horrors around them will be more difficult to operate in battle. If a character sees a dead body, or a sudden plot point tests their resolve, composure will dip. When this stat drops too much, characters will suffer in combat, having less time to make selections or being more difficult to control. While composure can be restored with items or abilities, it is something that must always be considered alongside the remaining usable AP.
Characters can be upgraded through a combat sheet reminiscent of standard TTRPG fare, with a blend of both battle and field actions that can mitigate how much AP you spend or how much damage a single special attack might do. Characters also have unique property actions on the field that are resolved via minigames, which are creative diversions from the point-and-click exploration and investigative document poring. This cycle never gets old, and each chapter changes up the narrative enough so the player is always guessing.
This unique blend of area-based field actions and combat tricks governed by AP is a style I have not personally seen since the GBA title Riviera: The Promised Land. It's a satisfying blend of themes and ideas, and Sunday Gold never overstays its welcome. For those who loved Disco Elysium but were missing the flair of traditional combat or anyone who's itching for a Phoenix Wright entry with a bit more meat on its bones, Sunday Gold is a perfect choice. It's breezy and well-paced, and the gnarly imagery and unbidden language are satisfying against an RPG genre that's increasingly filled with stories and characters that would fit better in a young adult novel. While Frank, Sally, and Gavin are initially held together by the tape of their shared goal, the bond between them grows through bloodshed and sacrifice. There's nothing quite as satisfying as working-class villains becoming reluctant heroes, and the game is ripe with world-building detail that doesn't come across as thick or suffocating.
With its comic book visual flair, intense violence, and gritty story, Sunday Gold at times feels like Sin City: The Video Game. This is a good thing, and will certainly scratch the itch for anyone looking for a weekend RPG without the fluff or filler of endless questing or empty worlds. The balance of watching your AP, maintaining character composure, and looking for the next detailed clue is satisfying on micro and macro levels, and Sunday Gold boasts an art style that feels right at home with its particular cross of genres. Tight, adult, and focused, Sunday Gold dips its toes into multiple puddles and stains its hands with blood in the best possible way.
Sunday Gold releases on Steam on September 13.


Dichotomy of action-potential backpropagation in CA1 pyramidal neuron dendrites.
Golding NL1, Kath WL, Spruston N.
Department of Neurobiology and Physiology, Institute for Neuroscience, Illinois 60208-3520, USA.
J Neurophysiol 2002 Feb;87(2):following table of contents.
In hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, action potentials are typically initiated in the axon and backpropagate into the dendrites, shaping the integration of synaptic activity and influencing the induction of synaptic plasticity. Despite previous reports describing action-potential propagation in the proximal apical dendrites, the extent to which action potentials invade the distal dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons remains controversial. Using paired somatic and dendritic whole cell recordings, we find that in the dendrites proximal to 280 microm from the soma, single backpropagating action potentials exhibit <50% attenuation from their amplitude in the soma. However, in dendritic recordings distal to 300 microm from the soma, action potentials in most cells backpropagated either strongly (26-42% attenuation; n = 9/20) or weakly (71-87% attenuation; n = 10/20) with only one cell exhibiting an intermediate value (45% attenuation). In experiments combining dual somatic and dendritic whole cell recordings with calcium imaging, the amount of calcium influx triggered by backpropagating action potentials was correlated with the extent of action-potential invasion of the distal dendrites. Quantitative morphometric analyses revealed that the dichotomy in action-potential backpropagation occurred in the presence of only subtle differences in either the diameter of the primary apical dendrite or branching pattern. In addition, action-potential backpropagation was not dependent on a number of electrophysiological parameters (input resistance, resting potential, voltage sensitivity of dendritic spike amplitude). There was, however, a striking correlation of the shape of the action potential at the soma with its amplitude in the dendrite; larger, faster-rising, and narrower somatic action potentials exhibited more attenuation in the distal dendrites (300-410 microm from the soma). Simple compartmental models of CA1 pyramidal neurons revealed that a dichotomy in action-potential backpropagation could be generated in response to subtle manipulations of the distribution of either sodium or potassium channels in the dendrites. Backpropagation efficacy could also be influenced by local alterations in dendritic side branches, but these effects were highly sensitive to model parameters. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that the observed dichotomy in dendritic action-potential amplitude is conferred primarily by differences in the distribution, density, or modulatory state of voltage-gated channels along the somatodendritic axis.

The Invention of Art History in Ancient Greece
Religion, Society and Artistic Rationalisation
Part of Cambridge Classical Studies
Author: Jeremy Tanner, University College London
Date Published: December 2009
In this book contemporary perspectives in the sociology of art are brought to bear on a series of fundamental questions in the history of Greek art. It is argued that artists sought to enhance their status and autonomy in the classical period by writing theoretical treatises and producing works of art intended for purely aesthetic contemplation. This ultimately gave rise to the practice of art history writing, and the development of art collecting. The Greeks, however, developed their own very specific ethos of connoisseurship.
Brings an innovative sociological perspective to bear on a series of central problems in the history of classical art
Fully illustrated.
Of interest to sociologists and students of comparative art, as well as classicists and art historians
"Thoroughly interesting and stimulating...It will in any case further the discussion about role and status of art and artists in ancient Greece. The book is beautifully produced and illustrated."-- Bryn Mawr Classical Review

uPAR/PLAUR
uPAR/PLAUR Proteins, Antibodies, cDNA Clones, ELISA Kits Research Reagents
PLAUR (Plasminogen Activator, Urokinase Receptor) is a protein coding gene located on human chromosome 19q13.31. PLAUR is also known as CD87, UPAR, URKR and U-PAR. The human PLAUR gene encodes a 36978 Da protein containing 335 amino acids. The PLAUR protein is biasedly expressed in bone marrow, gall bladder and other tissues. Among its related pathways are Post-translational modification- synthesis of GPI-anchored proteins and amb2 Integrin signaling. PLAUR is related to signaling receptor binding.

uPAR/PLAUR Background
Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and/or its receptor (uPAR) are essential for metastasis, and overexpression of these molecules is strongly correlated with poor prognosis in a variety of malignant tumours. uPAR and uPA levels in both resected tumor tissue and plasma are of independent prognostic significance for patient survival in several types of human cancer. This system has classically been thought to drive tumor progression by mediating directed extracellular proteolysis on the surface of migrating or invading cells, and intervening with this proteolysis by targeting uPAR has been proposed to represent a novel approach for inhibiting tumor progression. uPAR, also known as PLAUR or CD87, has been implicated in the growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis of several solid and hemotologic malignancies. uPAR is a highly glycosylated, 55-60kDa integral membrane protein linked to the plasma membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. It is part of a cell surface system that also consists of the serine protease uPA and several specific inhibitors (plasminogen activator inhibitors 1 and 2). Additionally, the analysis of CD87 (urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor - uPAR) expression has a potential role in the diagnostic or prognostic work-up of several hematological malignancies, particularly acute leukemia and multiple myeloma.

Senior Congress Leader Ahmed Patel Passes Away
New Delhi, November 25, 2020: Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP from Gujarat Ahmed Patel passed away early morning today. After he had tested COVID19 positive, he was admitted to the hospital in Gurugram where he breathed his last at the age of 71.
His son Faisal Patel gave this information by tweeting. "With profound grief & sorrow, I regret to announce the sad & untimely demise of my father, Mr. Ahmed Patel at 25/11/2020, 03:30 AM. After testing positive for COVID-19 around a month back, his health worsened further due to multiple organ failures. May Allah grant him Jannatul firdaus, inshallah. I request all well wishers to adhere to COVID-19 law & order regulations by avoiding any mass gatherings and to also maintain social distancing norms at all times. Regards, Faisal Patel Mumtaz Patel Siddiqui"

Ahmedbhai Mohammedbhai Patel, better known as Ahmed Patel was the political secretary to the Congress President Sonia Gandhi. He is widely credited with the party's performance in the 2004 and 2009 General elections.
Patel has represented Gujarat for eight terms in the Parliament of India; three times in the lower house or Lok Sabha (1977 – 1989) and five times in the upper House or Rajya Sabha (1993 – 2020). He was also the treasurer of the All India Congress Committee.
It is a sad day. Shri Ahmed Patel was a pillar of the Congress party. He lived and breathed Congress and stood with the party through its most difficult times. He was a tremendous asset.
We will miss him. My love and condolences to Faisal, Mumtaz & the family. pic.twitter.com/sZaOXOIMEX

Patel started his political career by contesting local body elections in the Bharuch district of Gujarat in 1976. Since then, he has virtually occupied every major position in the party's state and central wings. From January to September 1985 Ahmed Patel was the Parliamentary Secretary to then, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. In 1987 he in his capacity as Member of Parliament, Patel was proactive in setting up the Narmada Management Authority to monitor the Sardar Sarovar Project.
On the occasion of Jawaharlal Nehru's birth centenary celebration, Patel was appointed the secretary of the Jawahar Bhavan Trust in 1988. He was asked by the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi to supervise the construction of Jawahar Bhavan in New Delhi's Raisina Road, a project which had been stalled for more than a decade. In a record one year, just in time for Nehru's birth centenary celebrations, Patel successfully created Jawahar Bhavan, which was at that point a highly futuristic building equipped with computers, telephones and energy-saving air conditioners. The building was constructed using funds from Congress lawmakers and partly crowd-funded through one-day cricket matches.
In 2005, Ahmed Patel had got Bharuch included as one of the first five districts to be covered under the then launched Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana, to boost electrification in the district. The Sardar Patel bridge to de-congest traffic between the twin cities of Bharuch and Ankleshwar has been one of his contributions to the region.
In 2005, Ahmed Patel was inducted into the Rajya Sabha for his fourth term. Though considered Sonia Gandhi's chief strategist, he chose to keep out of the UPA government in the 14th and 15th Lok Sabha. He maintained a low profile and avoids media and public Glare. Patel is the only second Muslim after Ehsan Jafri to be elected as a Lok Sabha MP in Gujarat.
During the UPA Government regime between 2004 and 2014, Patel was one of the chief troubleshooters, coordinators and translators between the government and party. He is also the political secretary of Sonia Gandhi in the Indian National Congress.
His most recent election to the Rajya Sabha in 2017, was controversial with the Gujarat state legislators being taken away to the southern state of Karnataka in order to prevent dissent.
Ahmed Patel is married to Memoona Ahmed Patel since 1976. The couple has a daughter and a son. He is known to keep a low profile and rarely interacts with the media. Apart from politics, he is been seen as a close Aide to the Nehru-Gandhi Family, which form the leadership of the party.

The building block of most of the internet is the TCP socket. These sockets provide a reliable stream of bytes between the connected network devices. This part of the tutorial will show how to use TCP sockets in a few different cases.
The simplest thing to do is to download data from the internet. In this case we will use the Star Wars Asciimation service provided by the blinkenlights.nl website. It uses the telnet protocol on port 23 to stream data to anyone that connects. It's very simple to use because it doesn't require you to authenticate (give a username or password), you can just start downloading data straight away.
If you type addr_info and addr at the prompt you will see exactly what information they hold.
When this loop executes it should start showing the animation (use ctrl-C to interrupt it).
You should also be able to run this same code on your PC using normal Python if you want to try it out there.
The next example shows how to download a webpage. HTTP uses port 80 and you first need to send a "GET" request before you can download anything. As part of the request you need to specify the page to retrieve.
This should retrieve the webpage and print the HTML to the console.

오늘 저녁에 올라온 쇼킹한 뉴스 입니다.
서해로 피서 가신 분들은 특별히 주의해야 할것 같습니다.
나무를 아이들이 궁금해서 열어 보거나 하면, 바로 폭발 될수 있는 지뢰라고 합니다.
북한과 접경지역인 인천시 강화군 서도면의 섬 해안에서 북한제 대인지뢰인 '목함지뢰' 8발이 잇따라 발견돼 여름철 서해안 해수욕장을 찾은 피서객들의 각별한 주의가 요망된다.
31일 인천 강화경찰서와 해병대 제2사단에 따르면 30일 오후 6시30분께 서도면 주문도 대빈창해수욕장 백사장에서 한 낚시꾼이 생명을 앗아갈 수 있는 북한제 목함지뢰(나무상자에 들어있는 지뢰) 1발을 발견, 경찰에 신고했다.
군ㆍ경은 이날 오전 9시부터 12시까지 민간의용소방대, 자율방범대 등 민간인들과 합동으로 서도면과 삼산면, 화도면 등의 해안에서 수색작업을 펴 지뢰 7개를 추가로 발견했다. 이들 지역에는 5개의 해수욕장이 있다.
군ㆍ경은 이날 빈 상자 채로 발견된 2개를 제외하고 나머지 6발을 폭발처리했다.
군ㆍ경은 북한이 비무장지대(DMZ) 등에 집중적으로 뿌려놓았던 이들 지뢰가 최근 북한지역의 홍수로 강화도까지 떠내려온 곳으로 추정하고 있다. 이 지뢰는 가로 20㎝, 세로 9㎝, 높이 4㎝의 나무 상자에 들어 있으며 상자를 열면 자동적으로 폭발하도록 장치돼 있다.
그러나 이들 목함지뢰는 물에 잘 떠다니고 겉보기에는 폭발물로 보이지 않아 주민들과 피서객들의 각별한 주의가 요망된다.
특히 홍수와 서해의 강한 조류의 영향으로 이들 지뢰가 인천 용유도나 영흥도까지 떠내려갈 수 있어 이들 지역의 피서객들도 안전에 주의해야 한다.
강화군 관계자는 "마을 방송으로 주민과 피서객들에게 해변에서 나무상자를 발견할 경우 만지지 말고 즉시 신고해 달라고 당부했으며 곧 현수막도 내걸 예정"이라고 말했다.

High school students from all over the United States staged walkouts to protest against gun violence that has impacted U.S. school systems since the 1700s.
Many of the students, who are not even close to voting age, decided to leave their classes for 17 minutes on Wednesday, Mar. 13, 2018 to honor the 17 victims of the shooting in Parkland, Fla. The walkout was organized by EMPOWER, the youth wing of the Women's March.
From the Carolinas to the Columbine, Colorado, high school students walked out to their schools' bus lots, football fields, and even the U.S. Capitol. In memoriam of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school shooting, the students created participated in moments of silence, chants and speeches that challenged gun control laws.
Schools in Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland were joined by lawmakers during their walkout to Capitol Hill. Students spoke while lawmakers questioned the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on the changes that can be made to school safety.
"We refuse to learn in fear and we reject to turn our schools into prisons. We will accept nothing less than comprehensive gun control. Not just in our schools but in churches, movie theaters, on the streets and in communities of color that are disproportionately devastated by the sickness of gun violence," said high school senior and Montgomery county board member Matt Post to the crowd.
In Durham, North Carolina, Hillside High School students participated in the walkout. Hundreds of them filed into the school's bus parking lot to hear Common and John Legend's Glory sung by their choir and speeches from their elected school leaders. The school's Student Government Association President gave a speech on why the participation in the protest was important for students throughout the country were one of those officials.
"It is essential for our youth to have these protests because we are the next generation of voters and the laws that are created now will affect our future," said senior and SGA President Michael McGirt.
Although many of the students saw no retaliation from administrators, there were some students that did not obtain positivity from the adults around them. Aminah Glenn, a junior at Kenwood Academy High School in Chicago, IL was arrested along with five other students. According to the Chicago Sun Times, the students were marching to Lake Shore Drive to block traffic in hopes of an impactful response.
After the walkouts occurred, the National Rifle Association tweeted to display their stance against the students' protests.
However, students are not allowing negativity to deter their activism. On March 24, students nationwide including Florida residents are expected to arrive in Washington, D.C. for the "March of Our Lives" organized by Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school students.

Federal prosecutors are trying to piece together the complex web of influences that transformed a young man with no confirmed militant training or links, apparently acting with only the assistance of his younger brother, into a brutal bomber prepared to kill and maim in pursuit of a cause that remained largely unarticulated.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev has become the focal point of a global FBI investigation into whether any organised group or wider conspiracy lay behind last week's Boston Marathon bombings. The 26-year-old, who has been identified through fingerprinting as the man killed in the shootout with police in the Watertown suburb of Boston, is widely assumed to have been the mastermind of the marathon outrage, with his younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev allegedly playing the role of junior partner.
Yet so far the hunt for clues as to the motivation of the Tsarnaev brothers has failed to throw up concrete evidence that they were inspired to militancy by any particular extremist cleric or politician. Nor is there any known link to any nationalist or Islamist group in the Caucasus region that they regarded as their homeland, a link which would suggest they were recruited as foot soldiers and given operational instructions to strike the Boston Marathon.
Federal investigators and counter-terrorism experts are increasingly of the view that the brothers were acting alone. The surmise is that the elder Tsarnaev largely provided his own motivation and training, through the internet.
The idea that the marathon bombings may have been carried out by two men acting as "lone wolves" underlines the daunting task facing counter-terrorism authorities in the US and across the western world. Individual would-be bombers are far more difficult to detect than those operating on behalf of organised groups.
"If there is a link to a terrorist organisation, the probability of them being detected is much higher. The same applies for homegrown terrorism – the more people are involved the more likely they will be detected," said Marc Sageman, a former CIA operations officer who acts as a consultant on political violence to several US government branches.
In this case, the two brothers appeared, from current understanding of their actions, to have kept their plans entirely to themselves. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was married to Katherine Russell, 24, a convert to Islam who has claimed through her lawyer that she learned her husband and brother-in-law were the accused Boston Marathon bombers from TV.
Yuri Zhukov, a national security fellow at Harvard's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, said the radicalisation process of Tamerlan Tsarnaev "didn't fit the profile that security people in this country would detect. He was apparently not connected to Emirate of the Caucasus or Chechen groups in any formal way, as far as we can tell he didn't receive terrorist training and he didn't attend a mosque on a regular basis."
Zhukov has analysed some 30,000 violent attacks in the Caucusus region and found that in most cases there is substantial chatter between instigators followed by a claim of responsibility for the incident – none of which has been uncovered in the Boston Marathon bombings. One of the most prominent separatist groups in the region, the Caucasus Emirate in Dagestan, where the brother's father Anzor Tsarnaev lives, has publicly denied any connection to the Boston attacks.
Counter-terrorism experts are coming increasingly to the view that Tamerlan Tsarnaev radicalised himself, developing his own ideological passions and training himself in the crude arts of the pressure-cooker bomb through the internet.
According to accounts of the surviving brother's responses to questioning, he has insisted that they acted alone and that he knew of no other plots or undetonated bombs. Two US officials involved in interrogations of the suspect told the Associated Press that preliminary evidence was that there were no ties to any Islamist terrorist group.
The huge majority – 90% – of plots in the west since the 1990s have come from people who decide to do it on their own and who don't have links with the outside.
Christopher Swift, an adjunct professor of national security studies at Georgetown University, sees another common feature in Tamerlan Tsarnaev's profile: his feelings of alienation as someone caught between two worlds, the Central Asia of his birth (he was born into an ethnically Chechen family in Kyrgyzstan on 21 October 1986) and the US, where he had lived for the past decade. On 5 September last year he applied for US citizenship, yet seven months later he carried out one of the worst terror attacks on US soil since 9/11.
"In many ways, Tsarnaev's story was similar to that of the 2005 London bombers: he was married, educated, had a child; he didn't feel like his life was going anywhere and was looking for something that would give it meaning, and in the course of that he went down a rabbit hole of Salafist jihadi ideology," Swift said.
Tsarnaev's self-radicalisation appears to have begun around 2009 and 2010. Before that he displayed the outward characteristics of a secular immigrant to the US – he was a boxing champion who seemed to do well at Cambridge Rindge and Latin high school, though he said in one interview that he had no American friends.
Around 2009, it all started to change. His uncle Ruslan Tsarni, who lives in Maryland, said that about that time his nephew started to speak about "God's business" and putting "everything in the will of God". He gave up boxing and drinking, and for a brief period began wearing long white linen garments, a neighbour told the Boston Globe.
At about the same time, people who knew Tsarnaev's mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, witnessed a similar transformation in her. Alyssa Kilzer, who used to go to the Tsarnaev house in Cambridge to have facials from Zubeidat, wrote in a blogpost that in about 2010 she noticed the mother wearing the hijab for the first time.
Zubeidat started invoking Allah and the Qur'an, and began fasting. During one facial session, she recited a conspiracy theory to Kilzer that the attacks had been concocted by the US government to instill hatred towards Muslims – a theory she said her son had taught her.
By early 2011, the transformation in Tamerlan Tsarnaev was so marked that it was picked up by the Russian security services who approached the FBI asking for information on him. The FSB said "he was a follower of radical Islam and a strong believer, and that he had changed drastically since 2010".
So the question remains: why did Tamerlan Tsarnaev become radicalised, and did anyone lure him down that path? Counter-terrorism investigators, seeking clues behind terror attacks, routinely look for evidence of the influence of an extremist cleric or ideologue. For instance, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the military psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, had communications with Anwar al-Awlaki, the American imam later killed by a CIA drone strike in Yemen.
By contrast, the evidence that Tsarnaev received formal radicalisation is scant at best. Time magazine has reported that the Russian suspicions about him were based on his attendance of a radical mosque in Kotrova Street in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, while visiting his parents in 2011 and again during the six months he spent in Dagestan between January and July last year. But there is no suggestion of any determined ideological grooming.
Back at home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the signs of any religious incitement are even more threadbare. Tsarni, the uncle, said he believes his nephew came into contact with a person of Armenian descent who "brainwashed him", but no such acquaintance has been identified or tracked down.
The mosque in Cambridge where Tsarnaev occasionally prayed, the Islamic Society of Boston in Prospect Street, is an American-Islamic place of worship that prides itself on its moderate theology. "Our mosque is one filled with attendees who are teachers, businessmen, doctors and lawyers, all of whom are committed to the public good," it said in a statement.
The influence that the ISB appeared to have had on Tamerlan Tsarnaev was to try and reign in his more radical Islamist views. On 16 November 2012, he stood up and interjected during an address in which the immam argued it was appropriate for members of the mosque to celebrate the upcoming American national holiday of Thanksgiving just like the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad; Tsarnaev objected that celebration of secular holidays was forbidden in the faith.
Following a second outburst on 18 January this year, Tsarnaev was forced to leave the mosque after others in the congregation shouted out "Leave now!" Tsarnaev had again stood up, this time calling the preacher a "hypocrite" and accusing him of "contaminating people's mind" by declaring that Martin Luther King was a great person.
After that event, leaders of the Cambridge mosque issued Tsarnaev with an ultimatum: either stop the interruptions and remain silent, or never come again. "While he continued to attend some of the congregational prayers after the January incident, he neither interrupted another sermon nor did he cause any other disturbance," the statement says.
If there appears to have been no charismatic religious figure behind Tsarnaev's radicalisation, then what did take him down this "rabbit hole"? There is one important clue, in the account given by Alyssa Kilzer of the conversation she had during that facial session with the bombing suspect's mother, Zubeidat.
When Zubeidat claimed that the 9/11 attacks were an anti-Muslim plot, she said: "My son knows all about it." Then she added: "You can read on the internet."
The schematic information that has been gleaned so far about Tsarnaev's actions and motivations suggest that the most important single influence on him was his own exploration of the internet. A YouTube page under his name shows that he was clearly interested in learning more about Islamic theology, with accounts on it from young men describing their conversion to the faith. About four months ago, Tsarnaev "liked" a recorded sermon by an Australian sheikh called Feiz Mohammed in which the Sydney-based sheikh decries Harry Potter, ranting that that the children's story "glorifies paganism and evil".
Richard Nielsen, a graduate fellow at the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies, has looked closely at the YouTube page and said what strikes him about it is its emphasis on doctrinal issues. "A number of the videos are not what a casual observer might think of as 'Islamist terrorism' videos. Rather, they are doctrinal videos debating precise points of doctrine about how God deserves to be worshipped."
There is nothing inherent in Islam that encourages terror attacks, Nielsen said. But it does appear that a particular interpretation of Islamic doctrine was important to Tsarnaev and that "his perception of doctrine was part of his motivation".
The odds are pretty good they will be able to pull this stuff up. Tsarnaev doesn't seem to have made much of an effort to conceal what he was doing on the internet.
Marc Sageman points to another line of inquiry that Tsarnaev was pursuing, judging from his surfing of the web: an interest in Chechen nationalism and the abuses Russia was committing in the republic that he then appears to have equated with US operations in Afghanistan. "These jihadi websites connect what Russia is doing in Chechnya with what America is doing in Afghanistan. There is a migration from anti-Russian feeling to anti-western."
There are echoes of that point in what US officials who have interviewed Tsarnaev's younger brother Dzhokhar in hospital have told the Washington Post. The surviving suspect of the marathon bombings indicated to them that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were important motivations.
Amid the mounting evidence that Tamerlan Tsarnaev led himself down the "rabbit hole" of self-radicalisation, with the help of material he found, again for himself, on the internet, the key mystery still continues to ellude experts and investigators: why he chose to convert his increasingly intense religious beliefs into violent actions. It is one thing to be a fervent believer, another entirely to be a bomber.
The clues, at this stage in the investigation, are virtually non-existent. When the FBI looked into Tsarnaev in 2011 at the request of the Russian FSB, including in its efforts a full scan of his internet habits and interviews with Tamerlan himself and his relatives, it found no "terrorism activity, domestic or foreign".
That raises the ultimate challenge for the US and other western powers: the growing suspicion that Tamerlan Tsarnaev decided to place a large black knapsack on his back and plant it close to the finishing line of the marathon, knowing it would sever lives and limbs, purely for his own reasons.
"There is any number of paths towards violence, and this seems to have been their own," Sageman said. "Two young people dreaming dreams of glory, with a sense of moral outrage, looking for identity, and extremely difficult to detect."

Q: Power supply of LOGO 12/24RC PLC from SIEMENS I bought LOGO 12/24RC PLC from SIEMENS, and I didn't try it yet because I am worry about the required voltage needed to switch it on. I tried to see the data sheet but I confused with lots of data. If any one has any idea I will be thankful.
Here is the data sheet for LOGO 12/24RC

A: In Appendix A of the data sheet you have all the information you need:

So you can run the LOGO 12/24 from anything between 10.8V and 28.8V


If there is one particular thing that smokers who haven't switched to vaping just yet are missing the most, it's the fact that there currently is an extensive range of e-liquid flavors available. Yes, it's true that the vaporizer kit you are to purchase already will come with several free e-juices, but your options don't end with what's included in your e-cigarette.
However, you do have to understand that in choosing your favorite e-liquid, there is more to it than just the flavor. And when you realize there in fact are more than a handful of factors to consider, you'll eventually figure out that each e-liquid variant is distinct from the others. Anyway, we've prepared some tips on how you should go about in your first-ever purchase of e-liquid for your vaping needs.
Whenever you're offered the option to try on an e-liquid so that you can decide to buy it or not, then grab the opportunity by all means. The only sad thing is this option isn't really available if you're shopping for an e-liquid online.
The thing with choosing an e-liquid is that the number of flavors and variants could very well overwhelm you. As such, it makes perfect sense to narrow down your search to flavors that you believe you will like so that you won't waste your time. But you obviously cannot like every single flavor out there.
3 – Always prefer renowned or good quality brands.
Because you're basically a newbie in vaping, the safest way to make a successful transition is by choosing e-liquids made from renowned or recognizable brands. Bear in mind that not all e-liquids are equal, and the fact is some of them are made with low quality material and production standards. But sticking to a known brand means you have the guarantee of a product that many people have already tried and have been satisfied with.
Lastly, don't forget about the nicotine content of the e-liquid you plan on buying. Remember that if you just recently quit smoking and you've been planning to switch to vaping, it's never a good idea to immediately lower your nicotine consumption from your ejuice. Instead, you only should gradually reduce your nicotine consumption, which means that your first e-liquid purchase must be focused on a high concentration of nicotine.

One of my company's biggest successes has been when as a team we collaboratively thought outside the box. In fact, when I first started Marketing Eye in 2004, I changed a paradigm by setting up my own segment within a saturated market, to stand out. It was this 'thinking' that provided a big risk, yet an even higher reward.

Job Descriptions Aboard a Ship
Managing a Budget

What Are the Benefits of Being a Tugboat Captain?
The Average Salary of American Merchant Ship Captains
The Average Salary of a Train Engineer
Ships transport passengers and cargo among nearby locations through inland waterways and across oceans to different countries. The crew members who maintain and handle these vessels can number in the thousands on cruise ships to a handful on ferry boats. Although they perform specific jobs, workers band together to ensure the smooth functioning of their vessels.
Captains maintain ultimate authority and responsibility for the safety of the people and goods on a ship. They prepare budgets and maintenance reports, supervise the activities of officers and crew, and interact with passengers on cruise ships. They typically reach their positions after several years of experience as officers.
Officers keep watch over the bridge and supervise ship activities when the captain is off-duty. Large ships typically have up to three officers known as first, second and third mates, who are in charge of cargo and passengers, navigation, and safety, respectively. They alternate watches with the captain; manage the position, speed and heading of their vessels; and coordinate the activities of the deck crew.
Sailors, or deckhands, operate the ship and its equipment, and keep them in good working order. They load and unload cargo, help passengers as requested, and handle lines during docking or departing. They may steer the ship; perform routine maintenance, such as painting and sweeping; and perform repairs, such as fixing plumbing and creaking hatches. They stand watch and remain on the lookout for obstructions in the water, such as other ships, or navigational aids, such as buoys.
Ship engineers look after their vessel's propulsion and environmental systems, such as electrical, ventilation and refrigeration. Large ships typically have a chief engineer, up to three assistant engineers and an engineering crew. Engineers start and regulate the engines based on the captain's orders, record information in an engineering log, and check and maintain ship's systems.
Oilers and Pilots
Marine oilers are sailors who work in the engine room to keep ship systems functioning. They lubricate gears, bearings and other parts of the ship's engine; help with repairs and maintenance; and record data from gauges and meters. Pilots guide ships in confined waterways, such as rivers and harbors. Their jobs depend on knowing specific areas intimately, so they can take advantage of local tides and currents and avoid hidden hazards and underwater obstructions. Often, pilots work as independent contractors who board a ship and guide it through particular legs of a journey.
Sailors and ordinary mariners need no formal education and receive most of their training on the job. Officers and engineers typically have a bachelor's degree from a merchant marine academy and rise through the ranks with experience. All mariners working under vessels flagged in the United States require a Transportation Worker Identification Credential issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Qualifications include being a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and passing a security screening. Mariners often also need a Merchant Marine Credential, which mandates passing physical, hearing, vision and drug tests. Endorsements to the document, which allow work in various shipboard positions, generally require experience and passing an exam.

Even though we're nearing the end of May and the regular musical seasons are over or slowly coming to an end, that does not mean that there is no music to be heard in the Big Apple (That'll be the day!). So when I realized that the Florilegium Chamber Choir was coming back to the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in my neck of the woods, I immediately marked the date on my calendar. And sure enough, after tackling some challenging contemporary works by Ligeti last winter, they were all back on Sunday afternoon with some more traditional Baroque Italian pieces by Monteverdi, Carissimi and Cavalli.
A quick look at the program and you knew you were not in for anything even remotely cheerful. The whole performance seemed to revolve around the eternal themes of love's joys and sorrows as well as death, and even the natural attractiveness of the Italian language did not manage to lift up the general mood. The concert was nevertheless a lovely journey thanks to the ethereal combination of multi-layered harmonies that kept of melodies lines delicately intertwining and progressing.
The soprano of the afternoon, Christie Finn, had a clear, pretty voice that she was able to put to good use especially in Carissimi's The Lament of Mary Stuart. One of the very first "mad" arias ever, it describes Mary Stuart's state of mind during her final moments and gives the soloist plenty of opportunities to display her vocal skills, which Christie Finn did with much aplomb.
Even if the weather outside was cold and gray and the music inside was soft and sad, Sunday afternoon in the church turned out to be a very pleasant and rewarding time.

ZEPHYR COVE — Whittell boys basketball coach Phil Bryant always says that it's about more than wins and losses. Thursday night, it was about the wins — 700 of them.
Bryant reached the 700-win plateau with the Warriors' 64-46 victory over Bishop (Calif.) at the Whittell Invitational. Those victories have come over four decades of coaching high school basketball as part of his distinguished career.
"It makes me think of all the great players that I've had over the years — everybody that would have contributed to anyone of those wins over the years," Bryant said. "It means for a lot of years I've had some really great kids."
Bryant's first career coaching victory came at Marian Catholic High School in San Diego, a road win over Coronado. His latest was fueled by a fast start from the Warriors.
"It means for a lot of years I've had some really great kids."

"What it really means is that I'm an old guy — I've been around a long time," Bryant joked.
Whittell (5-1) used its 2-1-2 full-court press to overwhelm its opposition early on in Thursday night's game, scoring the first 16 points after tipoff. The Warriors held Bishop scoreless for the first 4:38, and led 16-4 after the first quarter.
The Broncos scored the first four points of the second quarter before Whittell guard Palmer Chaplin hit a three-pointer to make it 19-8 — three of his game-high 25 points. The Warriors continued to stretch their lead, and held a 34-16 advantage at halftime.
"We had control, but we didn't really have intensity," Bryant said. "I think more of that was because of the day — the power went out, we sent them home and didn't know if we were going to play."
In the second half, Whittell never led by less than 13 points en route to a comfortable victory. After the final buzzer sounded and both teams shook hands, Warriors players celebrated their coach's milestone — in his third season at Whittell, Bryant has a 42-17 record.
"We're ecstatic to be able to get him that 700th victory," Warriors forward Quinn Kixmiller said. "He does so much for us — he knows what he's doing, and we're proud we could help him out with that."
Bryant wasn't made aware of his potential milestone until prior to the start of the season, when MaxPreps reached out to him and asked if he was close. That research revealed he was five wins shy of 700 — Thursday night, he relished the opportunity to celebrate the achievement alongside his wife Jannette and son Matt.
"As a coach, you don't really keep track — you just worry about what's the next one," Bryant said. "Still, it's a fun thing."
Chaplin's 25-point game included four three-pointers. Kixmiller scored 20 points, dominating the inside on the way to a career night — 14 of his total came after halftime.
"I kind of felt a little off going in, but I'm happy with the outcome of it," Kixmiller said. "It came down to power — Phil tells us to get in the weight room, and that definitely helps a lot."
Whittell guard Colin Buchholz added nine points as Whittell bounced back from its first defeat of the season. For Bishop, forward Thomas Montoya led the way with 21 points.
"We were definitely ready to come back, get some points and win a game again," Kixmiller said.
The Warriors continued play at the Whittell Tournament on Friday and wrapped up tournament play Saturday. Opponents and times are to be determined as the result of Thursday's power outages.
