MLB Predictions: Milwaukee versus Los Angeles Dodgers highlight weekend games
Posted on April 9, 2019 by zcodeadmin
Two weeks into the Major League baseball season and there are some interesting match ups in store. The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers lead their respective divisions in the National League and highlight the games for the weekend of April 12 – 14. Note that all information is for games played through April 8.
Milwaukee Brewers versus Los Angeles Dodgers
The Brewers and Dodgers both have an 8-3 record to start the season. Milwaukee is "average" and the Dodgers are "burning hot down" on the Team Strength Oscillator. Los Angeles has a +29 to +26 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. If betting on the "over/under" for the games in this series, the Brewers game have trended "under", while the Dodgers have trended much "over". Looking at the pitching match ups, Corbin Barnes, Zach Davies and Jhoulys Chacin are scheduled for the Brewers. Julio Urias and Ross Stripling are scheduled for the Dodgers on Friday and Sunday, with Saturday being undecided. Davies is an excellent bet at +1547 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. Jhoulys Chacin has been a solid bet, but neither Stripling nor Urias has been a good bet for the Dodgers. Neither team will sweep the series and the slight edge for taking the series goes to the Dodgers playing at home.
Philadelphia Phillies versus Miami Marlins
The Phillies are off to an excellent 7-2 start, while the Marlins are struggling at 3-7. This leads to a "burning hot" versus "dead" status and +24 to +6 on the Power Ranking Indicator, both favoring the Phillies. If betting the "over/under", both teams play games that trend "over" so "over" is a very safe bet for this weekend's series. Jake Arrieta, Zach Eflin and Vince Velasquez are set to pitch for the Phillies, while Sandy Alcantara, Caleb Smith and Jose Urena are scheduled for the Marlins. Arrieta and Eflin are solid bets for the Phillies according to the Pitcher Profit Oscillator, however Velasquez is at -1321. Smith is the best bet for the Marlins at a +515 profit. The Phillies are the better team and should win the series, despite being on the road. Look for the Marlins to win one of the three games.
Oakland A's versus Texas Rangers
Oakland has already played 14 games, winning six, while the Rangers have split their first ten games this season. Neither team is trending well with Oakland "dead" on the Team Strength Oscillator and Texas "average down". The Rangers have a +16 to +8 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator, but have been unstable, at -3 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. Be careful betting according to the Rangers "favorite/underdog" status. Mike Fiers is on the mound for the A's on Friday and has been an excellent bet at +1588 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. Marco Estrada has also been solid, while Brett Anderson is -530. The Rangers are undecided for Saturday, but schedule Drew Smyly on Friday and Shelby Miller on Sunday. Neither have been a good bet, falling well into the red on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. The A's are an excellent bet for Friday and Saturday, with Sunday being a toss-up.
Cleveland Indians versus Kansas City Royals
Cleveland and Kansas City are two teams heading in opposite directions. The Indians are 6-3 for the season, +20 on the Power Ranking Indicator and "burning hot" status. The Royals are 2-7 for the season, +3 and "dead" on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Indians have been one of the most stable teams in the league, which is an excellent indicator to bet on them, being favorites this weekend. Of the six scheduled starters, only Kansas City's Brad Keller on Friday is a good bet at +346 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. If betting the "over/under", both teams play games that are trending "over", so "over" is a very safe play. As for who will win the series, I go with the Indians. They could sweep, but the Royals have an edge on Friday.

US Air Force selects Textron's Scorpion jet and AT-6 for light attack aircraft demo
By Valerie Insinna
WASHINGTON — Textron's Scorpion jet and AT-6 will be joining the A-29 Super Tucano in the Air Force's light attack aircraft demonstration this summer, the company confirmed May 15.
"Textron Aviation Defense can confirm the Scorpion and AT-6 have both been invited by the United States Air Force to participate in the experimentation this summer to demonstrate their respective class-leading light attack capabilities," a Textron spokeswoman said Monday in response to an emailed query from Defense News.
The first set of demonstrations, which will be held this July at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, could potentially lead to a program of record, but as of yet no formal requirement exists for light attack aircraft.
However, Air Force officials — including Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein and Air Combat Command head Gen. Mike Holmes — have postulated that a buy of light aircraft could help mitigate certain readiness and training concerns. The service's current inventory of aircraft is already overtaxed with worldwide operational missions, leaving few resources for high-end training. If it decides to purchase a small fleet of inexpensive, production-ready light aircraft, low-end missions could be offloaded to those planes, leaving its more sophisticated aircraft free for training and operations where specialized capability is needed.
On Friday, Sierra Nevada Corp. and Embraer announced that the A-29 Super Tucano had been invited to participate in the light attack aircraft demo. The two Textron planes and the Super Tucano, which was built by Brazilian firm Embraer and with Sierra Nevada as its U.S. prime contractor, are the only known offerings for the experimentation campaign. Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and IOMAX have all stated that they would sit out.
In a March interview, Textron officials confirmed the company's plan to propose both Scorpion and AT-6 — two very different aircraft with varied levels of capability.
"I think the Scorpion has some capabilities with the sensors that it can carry to tackle that kind of a mission that may be a little more difficult for an AT-6," Bill Harris, Textron AirLand's vice president of Scorpion sales, said then.
The Scorpion jet is more expensive but offers more capability than either the AT-6 or the A-29. It was designed by Textron as a modular aircraft that could be optimized with different sensors and weapons for missions such as close air support (CAS) or intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), Harris said. The aircraft's low levels of noise, coupled with its higher performance, could make it a better fit for conducting CAS in urban environments.
The AT-6, an attack version of the T-6A used by the Air Force for basic pilot training, is more of a match for the A-29. The low-cost turboprop plane features seven hard points for general-purpose, laser-guided and inertially aided weapons, and it can be flown for less than $1,000 per hour, said Jim Grant, Textron Aviation's senior vice president of military programs.
In a formal competition, the A-29 might have a leg up on the Textron planes because the U.S. military has already purchased the aircraft for the Afghan air force. Goldfein has expressed his desire to partner with other nations to drive procurement costs down, if the Air Force does move forward with a buy. However, because the Super Tucano was designed by a Brazilian company, it could undergo political scrutiny as a result of Trump's "America First" policies.

For some gay men, sexual compulsion and drugs go hand-in-hand and breaking patterns of behaviour (some repeated over a life-time) may also be about breaking the habit of looking for sex 24/ 7.

Something for the Weekend | James Wharton
"When James Wharton leaves the army, he finds himself with more opportunities than most to begin a successful civilian life – he has a husband, two dogs, two cars, a nice house in the countryside and a book deal. A year later he finds himself single, living in a room and trying to adjust to single gay life back in the capital. In his search for new friends and potential lovers, he becomes sucked into London's gay drug culture, soon becoming addicted to partying and the phenomenon that is 'chemsex'. Exploring his own journey through this dark but popular world, James looks at the motivating factors that led him to the culture, as well as examining the paths taken by others. He reveals the real goings-on at the weekends for thousands of people after most have gone to bed, and how modern technology allows them to arrange, congregate, furnish themselves with drugs and spend hours, often days, behind closed curtains, with strangers and in states of heightened sexual desire. Something for the Weekend looks compassionately at a growing culture that's now moved beyond London and established itself as more than a short-term craze.."

The Chemsex Monologues | Patrick Cash
"A nameless narrator meets a sexy boy on a Vauxhall night out, who introduces him to G's pleasures; a club night poster boy gets taken to Old Mother Meth's place by a porn star; Fag Hag Cath is finding the chillouts have become more about the sex; Daniel is a sexual health worker who does community outreach in the saunas; and Rob's snorting mephedrone off a framed photograph of his parents' 25th wedding anniversary."
The Chemsex Monologues | Patrick Cash | Oberon Books | 2016
5 Guys Chillin' | Peter Darney
"A graphic, gripping, funny and frank verbatim drama exposing the chill-out chem-sex scene. "Wanna pair of shorts? Shot of G? Line of Meth?" From surgeons to students, couples to kink; guys that love it and lost guys longing to be loved. An original look into a drug-fuelled, hedonistic, highly secret world of Grindr, and instant gratification."

Lust, men, and meth: a gay man's guide to sex and recovery | David Michael Fawcett
"Lust, Men, and Meth: A Gay Man's Guide to Sex and Recovery provides the first practical resource for recovery from methamphetamine and the restoration of healthy sex and intimacy. Based on over a decade of clinical experience and research, Dr. Fawcett outlines the seductive appeal of methamphetamine and its impact on high-risk behaviors and sexual desire, resulting in the fusion ofo meth and sex in the brain. Such patterns of use quickly lead not only to a devastating addiction but in sexual dysfunction as well. Illustrated with examples from dozens of cases, this book outlines a path toward healing, describing the phases of physical, emotional, and sexual recovery and provides a broad range for supportive tools from managing triggers to mindfulness."

Cruise control: understanding sex addiction in gay men | Robert Weiss
"Sex is always part of Ed's day, whether he's masturbating during his morning shower, cruising the mall during lunch, or engaging in his post-workout gym ritual. He often spends whole weekends either searching for sex partners or having sex. In his rigidly compartmentalized daily sexual activities, Ed reveals a part of himself that his friends and coworkers most likely wouldn't recognize. About 10 percent of gay men are sex addicts. For gay men like Ed who may have a problem with anonymous online hook-ups, porn, sex clubs, and prostitutes, the first step toward personal growth is to gain as much knowledge as possible about sexual addiction. Cruise Control will help readers determine whether or not they are sex addicts and how to reclaim their sexual health. This second edition is revised and expanded to include the impact of social media and mobile apps like Grindr (which uses GPS technology for instant hookups) on the "epidemic" of sex addiction in gay males. Discover the important distinction between being a gay sex addict and a gay man exploring his sexual freedom."
Cruise control: understanding sex addiction in gay men | Robert Weiss | Gentle Path Press | 2013
Straight Jacket | Matthew Todd
"Written by Matthew Todd, editor of Attitude, the UK's best-selling gay magazine, Straight Jacket is a revolutionary clarion call for gay men, the wider LGBT community, their friends and family. Part memoir, part ground-breaking polemic, it looks beneath the shiny facade of contemporary gay culture and asks if gay people are as happy as they could be – and if not, why not?
In an attempt to find the answers to this and many other difficult questions, Matthew Todd explores why statistics show a disproportionate number of gay people suffer from mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, addiction, suicidal thoughts and behaviour, and why significant numbers experience difficulty in sustaining meaningful relationships. Bracingly honest, and drawing on his own experience, he breaks the silence surrounding a number of painful issues, explaining:
how growing up in the closet can overwhelm the gay child with a deep sense of shame that can leave young people with perilously low self-worth and a powerfully negative body image
how many gay men overcompensate for childhood shame by pursuing unobtainable perfection, aspiring to have perfect bodies, boyfriends and lives
how gay culture, so often centred around alcohol, drugs, quick sex and even quicker wit, exacerbates the problem, and what we can all do to make things better
Meticulously researched, courageous and life-affirming, Straight Jacket offers invaluable practical advice on how to overcome a range of difficult issues. It also recognizes that this is a watershed moment, a piercing wake-up-call-to-arms for the gay and wider community to acknowledge the importance of supporting all young people – and helping older people to transform their experience and finally get the lives they really want." Penguin Books

The Velvet Rage | Alan Downs
"Today's gay man enjoys unprecedented, hard-won social acceptance. Despite this victory, however, serious problems still exist. Substance abuse, depression, suicide, and sex addiction among gay men are at an all-time high, causing many to ask, "Are we really better off?" Drawing on contemporary research, psychologist Alan Downs's own struggle with shame and anger, and stories from his patients. The Velvet Rage passionately describes the stages of a gay man's journey out of shame and offers practical and inspired strategies to stop the cycle of avoidance and self-defeating behaviour. Updated to reflect the effects of the many recent social, cultural, and political changes, The Velvet Rage is an empowering book that has already changed the public discourse on gay culture and helped shape the identity of an entire generation of gay men."
The Velvet Rage | Alan Downs | Hachette Book Group/ Da Capo Press (US) | 2012
The Epidemic of Gay Loneliness | Michael Hobbes
"Marriage equality and the changes in legal status were an improvement for some gay men," says Christopher Stults, a researcher at New York University who studies the differences in mental health between gay and straight men. "But for a lot of other people, it was a letdown. Like, we have this legal status, and yet there's still something unfulfilled. This feeling of emptiness, it turns out, is not just an American phenomenon. In the Netherlands, where gay marriage has been legal since 2001, gay men remain three times more likely to suffer from a mood disorder than straight men, and 10 times more likely to engage in "suicidal self-harm." In Sweden, which has had civil unions since 1995 and full marriage since 2009, men married to men have triple the suicide rate of men married to women. All of these unbearable statistics lead to the same conclusion: It is still dangerously alienating to go through life as a man attracted to other men. The good news, though, is that epidemiologists and social scientists are closer than ever to understanding all the reasons why."

You've probably been wondering what impact the emerging bribery scandal in Mexico will have on both Wal-Mart, the corporate entity, and Walmart, the brand above the portals that consumers enter in their hometowns and online every day. More on the former than the latter, one intuitively suspects, but we thought we'd take a look at what others were writing this morning.
McIntyre then endeavors to rank the nine most damaged brands in America. They are, in order of tarnish on their brass: Keith Olbermann, Chevy Volt, New Orleans Saints, Greece, Rush Limbaugh, Airbus 380, Netflix, Nokia and American Airlines. It's enlightening to consider how many of those brands made the list because of boorish behavior or a false sense of entitlement –- which is perhaps what puts Wal-Mart in the position that is finds itself in this morning.
Vice chairman Eduardo Castro-Wright, a native of Ecuador who was recruited from Honeywell in 2001 to become Wal-Mart's COO in Mexico and later was CEO of Wal-Mart Stores USA, is perhaps the primary villain in the scenarios laid out in the article, but there's plenty of finger-pointing to go around.
The Week has a good capsule report on the allegations and where they are leading here. On the financial front, there's no question that the company is taking a huge initial hit.
And while Lahart writes that the 5% hit on the stock in the U.S. (and 12% on the Mexican market) might seem "harsh," he points out that international sales represent an increasingly larger portion of Wal-Mart's growth, the crisis will eat up a lot of its executives' time and attention and, with a Justice Department investigation underway, it faces the prospects of huge fines.
But let's remember that the company has adeptly navigated other incidents over the years that would daunt most corporate communicators.
"The world's largest retailer has been frequently sued by the government, its own employees and its customers in cases that have also included accusations of corruption, as well as discrimination and destruction of evidence," Bob Van Voris and Margaret Cronin Fisk write in Bloomberg Businessweek.
Going back to the list of tarnished brands compiled by McIntyre, we see several that also have a history of sometimes going over the line in the POV of their critics, even if no criminal behavior is alleged. Olbermann and Limbaugh leap to mind. They tend to rebound.

Q: Kendo - data-bind onclick works on web, not on mobile I'm relatively new to Kendo and Javascript, so I may be overlooking something obvious...
I have a list entry with a simple call in it as follows:

                        Starbucks #556734

When I click this element via my browser, it executes as expected. However, when I load it on my mobile, it does not.
The function is just changing a variable state from True to False.
I'm using this same function call on other elements and it works fine, so I know the javascript is good... It's just not working on the list item on mobile only (again, works find on PC web browser).
Any ideas why this works on web, but not mobile?

A: The problem is you can not use both redirection(a href) and data-bind:click simultaneously.
Instead do the redirection in the onBadTransaction() function.

Kanpur/New Delhi: Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi Monday took Kanpur by storm, but faced a case for violating the model code of conduct. Denying the charge, the Congress accused the district administration of trying to stop his programme at the Mayawati government's behest.
Gandhi faced the charge after choosing to undertake a longer road-show than what the district administration had permitted him.
"We had to observe caution also on account of Shivratri today (Monday)," he said.
According to the official, Gandhi was granted permission to undertake his road-show along a 20- km route against the party's application for covering a 37-km route.
No sooner than the administration's decision was conveyed to Gandhi at the Circuit House, he instantly drove out and chose to move on the route he had planned for his road-show.
Accompanied by Coal Minister Shriprakash Jaiswal, who is also the local Congress MP, Gandhi rode on the gate of a bus, waving out to the crowds, who had gathered in large numbers everywhere he went.
Unlike Lucknow where his road-show last week turned out to be a damp squib, Gandhi drew huge crowds along the entire route that covered each of the district's six state assembly constituencies.
As the motorcade slowed down at the busy Ramadevi crossing, an old woman got close and offered him a garland.
People, including women and children could be seen perched on rooftops and balconies to catch a glimpse of Rahul, who waved out at them in acknowledgement of their greetings.
State Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi denied there was any violation of the model code of conduct as during the mass contact programme, Gandhi neither addressed a meeting, nor took out a procession.
Accusing the district administration of trying to stop Gandhi's programme at Mayawati's behest, she said the party had apprised the Election Commission of the matter.
In New Delhi, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that Gandhi had not committed any illegality and a legitimate campaign is a fundamental part of free democratic rights.
"Appropriate legal proceedings shall be taken in this regard," said Singhvi, who heads the party's legal affairs department and was apparently consulted by Gandhi following the district officials action.
Jaiswal dared the authorities can file an FIR against him.
"I had invited Rahul Gandhi for the roadshow. Let the authorities file an FIR against me," he said.
Kanpur will go to polls in the fifth phase of polling Feb 23.

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), which has become gradually popular in recent years, is used exclusively herein for single-particle analysis of purified proteins and viruses in their native state. Single-particle analysis (a kind of image processing) has thus far been applied to purified molecules stained negatively. However, negative staining is basically air-drying, even if the staining solution encompasses a molecule and its surroundings quickly, and thus it is difficult to entirely prevent structural changes. Moreover, the images obtained vary depending on the penetration of the staining solution. In cryo-EM, however, purified protein molecules are quickly frozen and observed without any further treatment, which allows even biological samples to be observed at practical EM resolution. This is a crucial point, because conventional EM preparation techniques such as freeze-etching replicas or ultra-thin sections incur a reduction of resolution during pre-treatment. However, raw protein samples are extremely vulnerable to irradiation damage by electron beams; where even for observations at liquid-nitrogen temperature, the samples are reportedly damaged at a beam irradiation of approximately 20 electrons/Å2. This implies that raw protein samples must be observed under an illumination of 1–3 electrons/Å2. Though challenging, this feat is made possible by the recent development of high-sensitivity cameras based on direct detection of electrons (DD cameras). Further, single-particle analysis does not require the crystallization of protein molecules, but allows structural analysis in dispersed systems. The highest spatial resolution recently obtained from single-particle analysis is 3Å (Meyerson et al., 2016), which is approaching the resolution of X-ray crystallography. Moreover, it should be noted that these analytical results were obtained for samples in a frozen state close to their native state. Meanwhile, cryo-EM is not only useful for single-particle analysis, but is also an extremely powerful tool for conventional structural observations. Indeed, cryo-EM observations of frozen sections have successfully revealed the molecular structure of functioning organelles, ribosomes, and the desmosomes that mediate adhesion between cells (Al-Amoudi et.al., 2004). In the future, cryo-EM will become an essential tool for pathology of cells. Recently, cryo-EM has been used for structural analysis of the infection process of the influenza virus in cells (Fontana & Steven, 2015). In general, for understanding life phenomena, it is very important to know the structure of proteins, their complexes in a functioning state and their spatial structure, and how such proteins are disposed within a cell. Cryo-EM is clearly an essential tool for this purpose. Unfortunately, however, cryo-EM is not sufficiently widespread in Japan compared to Europe and the United States. Instead, cryo-EM observations of fresh tissue and cells depend on preprocessing equipment such as quick freezers, cryo-microtomes and other significant investments—on the order of 700 million yen in total—which is likely the primary factor preventing the more widespread use of cryo-EM. However, if these instruments are required for future progress in the life sciences, there is no choice but to equip laboratories with them. Cryo-instrumentation is now rapidly being facilitated in leading European and American universities, and the development of cryo-systems including preprocessing instruments has occurred almost entirely in the EU, while Japanese contributions are disappointingly few and far between. Although we are something of a latecomer to the marketplace, we have now developed a new cryo-EM that detects both transmission and surface images simultaneously in the frozen state. Herein we report the features and applications of this new instrument.
We aim to develop a cryo-EM that everybody can use easily in a wide range of scientific fields with an economical budget. In particular, a low-voltage cryo-EM (scanning transmission electron microscope, or STEM) was developed based on a scanning electron microscope (SEM: SU 9000) equipped with a STEM detector to capture SEM and STEM images simultaneously. Additionally, the sample preparation method is also important and should be developed together with the EM. Indeed, if the samples are not processed in an appropriate way, the EM will fail to realize its full capability, even if designed to the most exacting performance standards, and the reliability of the observed results will be impaired as well. Thus, the development of a cryo-EM and the development of the sample preparation appear inseparable. Therefore, we developed a device for cell-membrane removal (i.e., unroofing) to facilitate observations of the membrane cytoskeleton.
Because our research project was supported by government funds, we should develop the most powerful cryo-EM in the world. However, a 300 kV cryo-EM has already been offered on a commercial basis that is, to some degree, user-friendly and also has produced world-record data. Although this instrument is extremely expensive as its disadvantage, the development of a great deal of elemental technology would be necessary to exceed this microscope, which is not feasible to achieve with the funding we currently receive from the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED). This is the primary reason we chose not to target atomic resolution in cryo-EM development. Nonetheless, the low-accelerating-voltage (i.e., only 30 kV) cryo-EM developed in this study is capable of simultaneous STEM and SEM measurements, which offers several prominent advantages and may come to occupy a highly competitive position within EM technologies. For example, because images of frozen biological samples in conventional cryo-EM typically exhibit extremely low contrast at the focal point, images are usually made by shifting the focus to the underside of the sample to yield a phase contrast (i.e., Fresnel contrast), which results in a decrease of the original resolution of the EM. To perform single-particle analysis of the images obtained in this way, both a correction of the contrast transfer function (CTF) and the collection of a large number of images are needed. However, the new cryo-EM developed in this project allows transmission images to be formed in the STEM optical system. In STEM, images are obtained by scanning an extremely focused electron beam over the sample, and therefore images are a bitmap of electrons transmitted through the sample. Thus, the image obtained is not formed by an objective lens and does not suffer as much from the CTF. As a matter of course, images were observed at the focal point without any reduction of the resolution. Thus, the new cryo-EM developed herein is especially useful for single-particle analysis, where it yields good results with a relatively small number of images compared to conventional cryo-EM in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) mode. Another major difference between the new STEM cryo-EM and conventional TEM is the method of image detection. Whereas TEM requires a camera to capture the image, STEM requires only a scintillator to capture electrons. This distinction may become meaningful and increasingly important in the forthcoming development of EM. Today, the complementary metal-organic-semiconductor (CMOS)-based DD cameras installed in cryo-TEMs offer a much better performance, but these cameras are very expensive (nearly 100 million yen per unit). The scintillators installed in STEM, however, capture electrons passing through the sample (i.e., position sensitive), and thus the sensitivity should be sufficient to count electrons. For example, if it proves possible, applying a thick coating of good fluorescent material may achieve the high sensitivity required for single-electron detection, whereupon images of quality comparable to that of DD cameras could be obtained at vastly lower cost. The feasibility of such a detector depends on future study.
Because the total size of the cryo-EM developed in this project is compact, and indeed is the same as the Hitachi SEM (SU 9000) used as a development base machine, it was not necessary to create a special electron microscopy room but to simply install it in the corner of the laboratory. We estimate that many researchers in the life sciences would be satisfied with this cryo-EM, because with it single-particle analysis is easily feasible with a small number of images even at 1 nm resolution, and the fine structure in the cell can be observed in the native state at the same resolution. We thus aimed to develop a cryo-EM with the above advantages.
Of all the elemental technologies encompassed by our development plan, the most crucial component was the development of a cryo-transfer holder. Approximately 2/3 of the holder arm was formed by a double-walled vacuum pipe that was almost entirely filled with liquid nitrogen, which increased the cooling rate of the specimen holder. We also added a vacuum system to release the gas from the liquid nitrogen in the pipe, and we tested the effect of converting the liquid nitrogen into slush nitrogen in what was the world's first attempt to use slush nitrogen in a cryo-transfer holder. In this way, we succeeded ultimately in reaching temperatures as low as −190°C. Moreover, we optimized the incoming and outgoing flow paths for liquid nitrogen to improve the speed and efficiency of cooling. Practical observation of samples was carried out while maintaining the specimen holder at −180°C. In the present state of the cryo-EM, it was difficult to observe specimens for extended periods at temperatures lower than −185°C because the images drifted with the temperature fluctuations. This drift is owing to an influx of heat into the cryo-transfer holder from the contact region between the holder and the stage, which is positioned at the tip of the holder. Based on this observation, we expect that the development of a non-contact stage may reduce image drift to allow long-duration observations.
Fig. 1 CAD diagram of the prototype cryo-transfer holder. The inset (upper left) shows an enlarged view of the sample holder at the tip.
Because the sample in a cryo-EM is held at an extremely low temperature, a contamination trap cooled to a temperature below that of the sample is needed to prevent contamination of the samples. In our system, the arm portion of the trap was also comprised of a pipe in which liquid nitrogen may be introduced at a point near its tip. We also added a gas-exhaust system and succeeded in cooling the trap to −200°C by converting the liquid nitrogen into a slush. The shape of the tip of the trap was designed to surround the sample region at the tip of the cryo-transfer holder. In addition, by cooling the buffer tank of the microscope, we achieved a vacuum strength in the sample chamber of 2 × 10−6 Pa, to be compared to the conventional strength of 7 × 10−6 Pa. These improvements succeeded in almost entirely preventing the reformation of ice crystals on the sample.
Fig. 2 CAD diagram of anti-contamination trap. The use of slush nitrogen succeeded in cooling to −200°C. The shape of the tip of the trap was designed to surround the tip of the sample holder (the sample region).
As mentioned previously, even high-performance observation instruments cannot achieve their full performance if the sample is processed incorrectly, and in such cases one cannot expect to obtain reliable measurement results: The development of the instrument itself and of techniques for preparing samples truly are two sides of the same coin. Unfortunately, preprocessing techniques for cryo-EM observations is another area in which Japan lags behind Europe and USA. The commonly-used "orthodox" methods for cryo-EM observation; i.e., the cryo-section of rapidly frozen samples; was developed in Europe. This process involves a collection of preprocessing instruments with a total cost on the order of 100 million yen. We have therefore adopted the unroofing method for observation of the membrane cytoskeleton instead of using the orthodox frozen-section method, where unroofing means mechanical removal of the cell membrane. In this case, the membrane cytoskeleton attached on the ventral cell membrane became observable in cryo-EM after removal of the dorsal cell membrane. We have improved and redeveloped the technique of ultrasonic unroofing conventionally used as a preprocessing step for freeze-etching replica methods. In this approach, soluble components in the cell are washed away so as to increase the contrast of the cytoskeleton and other organelles. Samples processed in this way exhibited a number of unexpected advantages, including panoramic observations of the cytoplasmic surface of the cell membrane. However, the commercially available probe-type ultrasonic generator used without modification produced an output power that was too strong to properly regulate the unroofing, and its excessive output power led to certain problems with reproducibility. For example, when applied to cells cultured on a carbon support film on EM grids, the cells were completely destroyed and removed. An appropriate output power for unroofing was found to be approximately 1 W or less. In contrast, the output power of commercially available probe-type ultrasonic generators is typically 50 W or more, and it is difficult to control it to under 5 W. Therefore, we customized an ultrasonic generator with an output power of 5 W or less, with an option to precisely regulate the power below 1 W. Our cell-membrane removal (unroofing) apparatus thus consisted of (1) this custom-made low-output-power ultrasonic generator, together with (2) a position controller to bring the ultrasonic probe near the sample accurately, and (3) a stereo optical microscope to observe the process of cell-membrane removal (Figure 3). With this apparatus, the removal of the cell membrane became extremely simple and easy. We also found this tool to be useful in preparing samples not only for cryo-EM but also for other types of observation instruments. In particular, although it was difficult to observe the intracellular fine structure with atomic force microscopy (AFM), unroofing enabled us to view the supra molecular structure inside of the cell for the first time in water (Usukura et al., 2016). Figure 5 shows an AFM image of the intra-cellular fine structure prepared using the apparatus we developed, wherein molecular structure analysis of the individual actin filaments in the cell is also possible.
Fig. 3 The prototype cell-membrane removal (i.e., unroofing) apparatus constructed herein, as viewed from the front (left) and at short distance from an angle (right). The apparatus consists of a low-output-power probe-type ultrasonic generator (indicated by an arrow) a position controller for this probe, a stereo microscope, and a horizontal illuminator (indicated by an asterisk).
Fig. 4 Phase-contrast optical microscopic image of cells after unroofing. Membrane cytoskeletons (stress fibers) are visible above the center of cell membranes (indicated by "U" symbols). The region marked "PU" indicates cells from which the cell membrane was partially removed.
The simultaneous cryo-STEM and cryo-SEM observation of membrane cytoskeletons in their native state, which was an original goal of this development project, has been achieved. Indeed, such observation has become almost routine (Figure 6). Because soluble components in a cell are washed away upon unroofing, the cytoskeleton could be observed with sufficient contrast on focus. Surprisingly, ribosomes and endoplasm reticulum remained partially intact after unroofing, and were observed well together with the membrane cytoskeleton (Figure 7). In particular, many organelles such as mitochondria, smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER), rough ER and ribosomes were detected with extremely high contrast, despite the presence of partially unroofed cells in which many soluble components still remained. A fortunate and unexpected finding was that regions of thickness estimated at 200 nm or more could be clearly observed. We are unsure whether or not this is a feature of the STEM optical system, but it became evident that the STEM is capable of describing intracellular fine structures even at 30 kV accelerating voltage. This represents a crucial first step toward the development of new types of EMs in the future.
Fig. 6 Simultaneously recorded cryo-STEM (left) and cryo-SEM (right) images (for an unfixed sample). Initially, the sample is fully embedded in ice and the SEM image is flat owing to the ice coating. As the electron-beam irradiation induces a temperature increase, a portion of the ice sublimates, yielding the structure seen in the figure at right.
Fig. 7 Cryo-EM images of unroofed cell without chemical fixation. The cytoskeleton consisting of actin filaments and microtubules is observed well together with smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER), rough ER and ribosomes in spite of the presence of unroofed cells.
Another important finding was derived from the application research carried out under this development project. As discussed above, the objective lens is not directly involved in image formation in STEM optics, which is optimal for single-particle analysis. This advantage is particularly prominent in our developed low-voltage cryo-EM installed with a cold-field emission electron gun, which generates a very focused electron beam (0.34 nm in diameter). Indeed, the single-particle analysis of the actin filaments and molecular structure calculated from only 20 images obtained by our 30 kV STEM exhibited a much higher resolution than that obtained by conventional 100 kV TEM (Figure 8). In single-particle analysis using an adenovirus stained in the conventional way, 18 images were sufficient to obtain the molecular structure of the virus at 5 nm resolution (Figure 9). Because the images were obtained without CTF correction and with high contrast on focus, the molecular structure was determined more precisely than in the conventional way by single-particle analysis using a small number of images. This fact suggests the possibility of in situ single-particle analysis revealing the real molecular structure in a cell, but not purified molecules.
Fig. 8 Comparison of cryo-EM developed here vs. standard TEM. From negative-stained images (A) we performed three-dimensional reconstruction via single-particle analysis, taking into account the helical symmetry. (B) 30 kV STEM image captured with new cryo-EM described herein, and (C) 100 kV image captured with a standard TEM. Upon fitting to an atomic coordinate model (Oda et al., 2009), the three-dimensional image reconstructed from the 100 kV standard TEM image exhibited some regions of disagreement, while the three-dimensional image reconstructed from the STEM images obtained with our new system exhibit excellent agreement.
Fig. 9 Eighteen images of adenovirus particles captured with new cryo-EM developed in this paper (upper) and reconstruction based on these images (lower).
Although the new 30 kV cryo-EM with cryo-transfer holder developed herein was primarily to observe frozen samples of living cells, cryo-EM seems to be a useful tool for materials science because of its remarkable reduction of irradiation damage to the samples. In fact, a cryo-holder, though not a cryo-transfer holder, has been used in materials science to reduce irradiation damage, wherein the cooling of the cryo-holder is initiated after being placed into the microscope. This delayed cooling of the cryo-holder is not a problem in the case of metallic samples; but in materials that include water, ice crystals are formed upon cooling and break the fine structure. Consequently, cryo-holders are not useful for materials including water. Instead, biological samples and materials including water must be quickly frozen to produce amorphous (non-crystalline) ice, and then the frozen sample must be transferred into the cryo-EM while maintaining its frozen state using the cryo-transfer holder. The formation of crystalline ice is a crucial problem in EM study on liquid substances. We have recently succeeded in observing nano-bubbles (gas bubbles approximately 50–100 nm in size) formed in water (Figure 10). These could possibly be observed with conventional cryo-TEM systems as well, but the ability of our system to capture simultaneous STEM and SEM images offers proof that these bubbles actually do exist in the water. This is a useful new application of the cryo-EM that we have developed. Strong future demand of this cryo-EM is anticipated in areas such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs and soft materials, and the research institute of soft material sections is anticipated in future.
Fig. 10 Nanobubbles formed in water, as imaged using the new system developed herein. These observations were made by pouring water into holes in a QUANTIFOIL membrane and rapidly freezing; the STEM (left) and SEM (right) images were obtained simultaneously. Bubbles are indicated by arrows. The bubbles frequently appear dark in the STEM image.
We used an SEM (SU 9000, Hitachi High-Technologies) installed with a STEM detector as a base for the development of a new cryo-EM. However, it would be desirable to design an instrument based on a STEM core with added capabilities for high-performance SEM. To retain the image quality of conventional EM in the cryo-EM, we hope to increase the scan speed to prevent drifting associated with cooling. A decade ago, high-resolution AFM imaging required 20 min per frame, but today speeds of 10 s per frame are becoming increasingly standard. In contrast, SEM scan speeds have remained unchanged (1 min per frame) for some 30 years. A method of increasing scan speed in SEM is to increase the probe current, but this increases the risk of sample damage. We hope to design new cryo-EM systems capable of producing high-magnification, high-quality images by combining the newest drift-correction techniques with increased sensitivity of the detector system.

How is coconut cream made?
What is all purpose cream?
What is cashew cream a substitute for?
To make 1 cup of heavy cream, mix 2/3 cup of whole milk with 1/3 cup melted butter. Really, it is that simple. As an alternative, if you don't have milk on hand, you can also use 1/6 cup butter and 7/8 cup half-and-half.
Like its name suggests, half-and-half is simply equal parts milk and cream. Whereas heavy cream is just, you know, cream. The real difference lies in the fat content: Half-and-half is 10 to 18 percent fat, and heavy cream falls between 30 and 36 percent.
A: Evaporated milk can be substituted for heavy cream. According to the recipe website Allrecipes.com, a cup of heavy cream can be replaced with a cup of evaporated milk, or three-quarters of a cup of milk plus one-third of a cup of butter.
Double cream is the British term for heavy or whipping cream in the United States, but it is a little thicker than our whipping cream. It contains about 48% butterfat. Double cream is so rich, in fact, that it is easy to over whip it and get it too thick.
Many products can substitute for heavy cream, including buttermilk and yogurt, but you will want to measure your heavy cream substitute according our table. … A suitable substitute for heavy cream, sour cream, light cream and/or whipping cream can be found below.
Full fat coconut milk can be substituted for heavy cream. A coconut milk substitute will impart a coconut flavor to a recipe, so it will work for some recipes, but not all.
Because it's made of nuts, almond milk is fatty enough to substitute for cow's milk at a one-to-one ratio and will yield a creamy Alfredo sauce. If you are trying to eliminate all dairy in your Alfredo sauce, use almond milk as a substitute for any cream your recipe calls for as well.
 Heavy cream, also known as whipping cream, is an ingredient that is frequently called for in recipes. Cream is the thick, fat-rich part of milk, which rises to the top when milk is fresh and is skimmed off. The type of cream is determined by its fat content. Heavy cream has a fat content between 36 and 40%.
It also contains almost no sugar, which means its lactose content is very low. … Summary: Heavy cream is a high-fat product that contains almost no lactose. Using small amounts of heavy cream should be tolerable for most people who are lactose intolerant.
Can you swap out heavy cream with other creams when cooking/baking? A: Unless you're trying to make whipped cream — in which case, there is no good substitute — half-and-half, light cream, and whipping cream are safe swaps for most recipes that call for heavy cream.
In Canada whipping cream is the closest equivalent (in the US it is heavy cream) and has 32-35% butterfat but we would suggest trying to get the highest fat content possible.
Milk can be used in place of heavy cream to make a white sauce, and the combination can be a lighter sauce that doesn't have all the calories of the original.
The short answer is no, half and half doesn't have the fat content necessary. You will have to add something with high fat content. As stated above you could try adding some evaporated milk, or even clarified butter to bring up the fat content. Or a bit of heavy cream in it would bring it to a high enough fat level.
Which is why most commercial establishments prefer non dairy whipping cream for frosting across the globe. Whipping Cream(Non-Dairy)- generally referred as Whip Topping/Non-dairy Cream. This cream is made from different sources. Common sources are Soy, Coconut and Palm Fat.
Is it healthy? Heavy whipping cream is high in calories but also rich in healthy fat and several vitamins and minerals. It's generally used in small amounts, such as in coffee or recipes that need a bit of creaminess, so it's unlikely to add significant calories to your diet.
You can also try one of these options in a pinch: Yogurt: Add regular milk or water to thin plain yogurt to achieve the consistency of buttermilk. About 3/4 cup yogurt mixed with 1/4 cup water usually works well. Sour Cream: Combine sour cream and either milk or water to create a buttermilk consistency.
Though dairy-free or vegan evaporated milk isn't something you will easily find in stores, it is relatively easy to make, and your homemade version won't require the processing of the canned versions!
Additionally, if you are lactose intolerant you can use lactose-free milk. This milk has the enzyme lactase added to break down the sugars that people with lactose intolerance have trouble digesting. … You can also make your own evaporated milk from regular milk by heating it on the stove to evaporate the water.
Half-and-half, also known as half cream in the United Kingdom, is a simple blend of equal parts whole milk and light cream. It averages 10 to 12% fat, which is more than milk but less than light cream. Due to its lower fat content than cream, it can't be whipped.
Coconut cream is made in the exact same way as coconut milk. It has only two ingredients: coconuts and water. First, coconut meat is shredded, then it's simmered in water to extract all the coconut goodness. The water then separates into a creamy, thick layer and a thin, more watery layer.
All-Purpose Cream: True to its name, all-purpose cream is a flexible and versatile type of cream that can be used for both your savory and sweet creations. The cream is pourable at room temperature but is also able to be easily whipped when chilled.
Now I'm using cashews to make a dairy free substitute for heavy cream or half and half. Cashews already have a hint of sweetness, just like cream. When blended, they become ultra creamy and smooth, making them the perfect dairy substitute.

      Distributor frm2=new Distributor();
      frm2.setVisible(true);
      frm1.setVisible(false);
      frm1.setDefaultCloseOperation(frm1.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    }

A:
".Please help me to how I can make distributor frame popup and cars frame is not visible and close automatic."

Ok so in Netbeans GUI Builder, you may want to do the following (this is assuming you have created two separate JFrame form files

*

*In the frame that is the launching program (we'll call it MyFrame1) add a button to it (we'll call it jButton1)

*Add a listener to the button, then the following code should be auto-generated
public void jButton1ActionPerforemd(javax.swing.ActionEvent evt) {

}

*In that actionPerformed, just instantiate the second frame (we'll call it MyFrame2) and setVisible(false) to MyFrame1. MyFrame2 should already be visible upon instantiation, so you wouldn't have to setVisisble(true) on it
public void jButton1ActionPerforemd(javax.swing.ActionEvent evt) {
    MyFrame2 frame2 = new MyFrame2();
    MyFrame1.this.setVisible(false);
    // You can also use  MyFrame1.this.dispose(); dependind if you ever need to use that frame again
}

I think this should work

A: you need to setVisible Jframe2 as true...so it can apear on output sceen
public void jButton1ActionPerforemd(javax.swing.ActionEvent evt)
{
   myFrame2 frame2=new myframe2();
   myframe1.this.setVisible(false);
   frame2.setVisible(true);
 }

A: create action event for the button such that when when you click will take
   you
    to the next page for my case next page is nextjFrame
private void nextButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

setVisible(false);

nextjFrame ob=new nextjFrame();

ob.setVisible(true);

}

A: private void BTNConvertActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

    /*
    This is the action performed event for my Button "BTNConvert"
    */

    java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater
    (new Runnable()
    {
        public void run()
        {
            new JFrame2().setVisible(true);
        }
    });

    /*
    This will set the second Frame Visible.
    */

    JFrame1.this.setVisible(false);

    /*
    This should set the first frame invisible or whatever. Any other code should be
    written before the curly brace below.
    */

}

//You're Welcome.

Imploding government sentenced to a future of hard Labor
An extraordinary orgy of self-destruction has left Labor looking a shambles, with Julia Gillard now facing a reshuffle and an almost impossible task to get her government into fighting form for the September 14 election.
Nearly three years ago, Kevin Rudd was brought down by Gillard and her backers in a coup that came out of nowhere. Gillard said the government had to be got "back on track". Now her government is more off track than the Rudd one ever was.
The 2010 coup was brutal; the 2013 attempted coup was farcical. If you count yesterday, Labor has had three chops at its two prime ministers in under three years. Even in this hyperbolic age, that smacks of irrational behaviour.
Look at things from the vantage point of ordinary voters. A majority have said repeatedly in the polls that they want Rudd back as Labor leader. Many Labor MPs in marginal seats believe he would give them a better chance of survival.
The Rudd forces have prodded and pushed to try to reinstall him. Their effort reached a crescendo this week, with lobbying of backbenchers and planted media stories – including one saying that good polling for Rudd in one South Australian seat in 2010 had been kept highly secret so as not to hinder the coup.
Former leader and cabinet minister Simon Crean gave the marginal seat holders their chance. They chose not to take it.
Chief government whip Joel Fitzgibbon encouraged Crean into the move. Crean had recently met with Rudd, sorting out differences; he had been critical of the Rudd style in government.
Calling for the spill, Crean announced he would run for deputy leader. It would have been history repeating itself. His father Frank was deputy PM for the last few months of the Whitlam government.
Rudd camp sources claim they had about 47 votes – they only needed a handful more. The hope was that Crean would bring across some numbers from among his old friends. They didn't follow him.
Gillard forces insist the numbers were not even close. A pro-Gillard source said Rudd has "bad timing and can't count".
Rudd, who pledged after his first disastrous challenge that he would not mount a second, wanted a big draft so he could arrive back in his old job with public credibility. He refused the entreaties of backers who went to his office after Gillard announced the spill. But sources among his followers are convinced he would have stood if he was sure of even a narrow win.
Gillard's toughness and determination mean that there was never a chance she would crumple under the pressure. She'll always fight, whether it is against Rudd or Tony Abbott.
The swordless lunge against Gillard has drawn a lot of blood and left many angry and upset people.
Crean says he doesn't regret his action but he has been sacked – the first time he has not been on the front bench since he entered parliament in 1990. Richard Marles, who called on Rudd to stand, has resigned his parliamentary secretaryship. A clutch of whips – chief whip Joel Fitzgibbon (one of Rudd's main numbers men), and Ed Husic and Janelle Saffin quit last night. The fall of the whips is ironic – they are supposed to be the ones who protect the leader.
A wave of resignations would have been expected if the leadership had changed. How bizarre to have several resignations when nothing happened.
At a human level, the day dramatised the estrangement between Gillard and two once close colleagues, She was Crean's protege; when Crean was pushed out of the leadership she helped him do the numbers successfully for Mark Latham. She and Fitzgibbon worked together in 2006 to bring down Kim Beazley and put in Rudd and herself.
Rudd's supporters have been left high and dry by his unwillingness to step up. But Rudd has also been harmed by the hyperactivity of his camp and the way he himself trailed his coat. It is unwise to ever pronounce Rudd politically dead, but it is worth taking the risk. Who can see the caucus thinking about him again? One depressed loyalist said last night Rudd should retire at the election.
Gillard has once again showed her tactical strength. But if Labor is trounced at the election, history won't laud how she saw off Rudd this week but condemn the way she left Labor a badly depleted party in the wilderness.
Gillard, her deputy Wayne Swan and various other Labor figures are insisting the whole sorry mess has been put to bed. Gillard may have been cemented in, but the legacy of bitterness and unhappiness will remain.
No one could be sure how much better off the party might have been going to Rudd – and many would say that would have been a recipe for more division. But the failure to grasp the chance will likely haunt many members as they stare at electoral defeat.
Gillard used the rather lame excuse that she had work to do to avoid taking questions at her news conference. But she certainly has plenty on her plate.
Government sources say she recognises that faults have to be addressed. One of them is "process". Everyone denounced "process" in the handling of the media reforms which crashed in another disaster yesterday.
How the media package could be so botched, in timing and salesmanship is impossible to understand. Communications Minister Stephen Conroy presumably won't be moved in the coming reshuffle but he should be. If he wasn't a passionate opponent of Rudd, you could have suspected he was deliberately trying to undermine the PM. Instead, it seems to be simply a case study in incompetence. Thanks to that, the chance of media reform has been lost for more years than can be contemplated.
Now a demoralised government faces a test that even one in good shape would find difficult: framing and selling a budget that needs to be tough just months out from an election. Only the diminishing band of true believers would have any confidence that it is up to this task.

Les voitures type Y de la SNCF, dites UIC du nom de l'Union Internationale des Chemins de Fer, ont été la première série de la SNCF à mettre en application les recommandations de l'organisme. Elles furent étudiées par la division des études des voitures (DEV) et livrées en  de 1963 à 1976.

À leur entrée en service, les voitures UIC sont attribuées aux grands trains nationaux qu'elles assureront jusqu'à l'arrivée massive des Voitures Corail. Par la suite, elles sont reversées dans la réserve pour les grands départs, et au service omnibus régional, permettant la radiation de séries datant des compagnies privées d'avant 1938. Les voitures UIC ont ainsi souvent formé des rames avec des voitures USI de la même livrée vert-béton.

Même si la plupart de ces voitures ont été réformées, certaines composent encore des trains spéciaux en 2006.

Origine
Elles ont été commandées à De Dietrich & Cie, devenue usine ferroviaire de Reichshoffen, et à CIMT Lorraine.

Caractéristiques
Parmi les préconisations demandées par l'UIC, pour une fabrication standardisée on peut citer :
 Intercirculation entre voitures, avec plateforme protégée par des bourrelets extensibles en caoutchouc à la place des soufflets ;
 Equipement de portes d'accès de type "Mielich" à deux battants articulés s'ouvrant sur l'extérieur. Les poignées d'aide à la montée-descente sont situées à l'intérieur. Elles restent donc propres en permanence ;
 Unification des systèmes de canalisations de frein et prises d'alimentation électriques : la liaison entre voitures de différents pays devient possible, particulièrement dans les rames réversibles type Corail multiplexés ;
 Facilité de maintenance : une pièce détériorée doit pouvoir être changée dans n'importe atelier d'un réseau étranger ;
 Implantation d'un WC sur un seul côté de la voiture, côté compartiments, en étant équipé d'une baie opaque au vitrage de couleur blanche, (voir photo de la voiture mixte fourgon ci-dessous).

Les voitures du type Y, adoptées entre autres par les chemins de fer italiens, ont une longueur de .

La première commande intervient en 1960 et la livraison en 1963. Les dernières livraisons se feront en même temps que les premières voitures Corail.

Types de voitures
Les voitures UIC sont des voitures à compartiments. On distingue les diagrammes suivants :
185 A9 51 87  à 528 (xx=70, et 90 pour les voitures Capitole) décomposables en :
 30+3+19 A9 51 87  à 330  (commande : 1962, livraison : 1965) puis 51 87  à 555 (c : 1965, l : 1967) et 51 87  à 574 (c : 1966, l : 1967),
 23 A9r aptes aux /h pour le Capitole : 51 87  à 352 (c : 1965, l : 1967) et 375 à 378 (c : 1967, l : 1968),
 22 A9r rouges à bogies Y28 E : 51 87  à 400 (c : 1967, l : 1968), voir photo ci-dessous
 88 A9r rouges à bogies Y24 A : 51 87  à 528 (c : 1968, l : 1970),
43 A7D mixte première classe - fourgon décomposables en 3 sous-séries :
3 A7Dr 51 87  à 333, rouges et aptes aux /h pour le Capitole, (c : 1965, l :1967),
20 A7Dr 51 87  à 420 rouges à bogies Y28 E, (c : 1967, l : 1970),
20 A7D 51 87  à 440 vertes, (c : 1967, l : 1968),
53 A4B5(x) mixtes, 51 87  à 703 (c : 1966, l : 1969), les 3 dernières  provenant des CFL (UIC 61, l : 1967, reprise : 1973?) ; la partie première classe libère un demi-compartiment pour le service,
305 B10 de deuxième classe, 51 87  à 805, (l : 1964 à 1971), les 5 dernières voitures étant des voitures des CFL (UIC 61, l : 1967, reprise : 1973?)
118 B5Dd2 mixte deuxième classe - fourgon avec compartiment dédié aux douanes, 51 87  à 118, (c : 1969 & 1970, l : 1972-1973) ; elles reprennent le chaudron des A4B5.
175 A4c4B5c5x mixte couchettes, à toit haut, 51 87  à 425,
 448 B9c9x, voitures-couchettes de deuxième classe, reprenant le chaudron  des  B10 mais avec 9 compartiments commerciaux et le  réservé au service.
78 B9c9s puis B9c9x, 51 87  à 578, 1964-1966, de même chaudron  que les B10,
370 B9c9x 51 87  à 950, voitures-couchettes de deuxième classe, à toit rehaussé

Les bogies sont des Y24 A sauf pour 42 voitures avec restauration à la place (en livrée rouge) qui étaient équipées de bogies Y28 E. Les 20 voitures-couchettes "Wasteels" du train Puerta del Sol avaient des bogies interchangeables Y16 LMS pour faciliter les échanges à la frontière France-Espagne (changement d'écartement).

Quelques voitures disposent d'un équipement (bogies Y24A1S et d'un freinage électromagnétique) les rendant aptes aux . Elles constituent des rames spécifiques du Capitole, train rapide lancé entre Paris et Toulouse.

Transformations
Les voitures ont subi les transformations suivantes :
 les 30  A9 de 1962 ont été déclassées en B9 entre  et 1980,
 136 A9 sont transformées en A4B5 dans les années 1980 ; leurs neuf compartiments de même taille les distinguent des A4B5 d'origine.
 les 19  A9 de 1966 restantes sont modernisées en A8x.
 les 43 A7D seront toutes transformées en B7D de deuxième classe.
 4 B9c9x à toit rehaussé sont transformées en B10.
Quelques A4c4B5c5x mixte couchettes ont été modifiées en voitures de cantonnement pour les trains de secours de l'infrastructure. De livrée bleu et blanc, la partie  sert de dortoir et la partie seconde est transformée en salle de repas ou de réunion.

Livrées

À leur arrivée, les voitures revêtent l'uniforme vert wagon généralisé, égayé seulement par la bande jaune au-dessus des baies des voitures de première classe.

Tous les vitrages du bloc toilettes sont blancs. Le fourgon B7D est le seul a ne pas avoir ce vitrage blanc du côté fourgon.

En 1970, la livrée dite C 160 est appliquée au matériel apte à la vitesse de 160 km/h. Les UIC neuves l'adoptent. Il s'agit du vert garrigue 302 en bas de caisse, avec la zone des baies gris aluminium 806 (gris métallisé).

En 1978, le gris perd son métallisé : comme sur la livrée des CC 6500 et voitures Grand Confort (en gris dauphin), le gris métallisée aluminium 862 ne tient pas bien dans le temps et se dégrade. Les portes sont unicolores et cette livrée prend le gris béton 804. Ce gris est étendue à toute la série. Une bande vert clair signale les voitures de seconde classe, au même titre que le jaune pour les premières.

Les voitures couchettes prennent la livrée « nuit » bleu avec la zone des baies et celle des portes en gris.

La livré pour le Capitole est rouge avec un grand bandeau blanc sous les baies et un autre plus fin blanc également au-dessus des baies, le toit étant gris. Dans le bandeau inférieur blanc et centré sur la voiture un marquage "Le Capitole" en blanc sur fond rouge les caractérisent. D'autres voitures avec la même livré mais sans ce marquage roulent avec des bogies Y28E (photo ci-contre). Des voitures de première classe avec un service de restauration reçoivent une livrée rouge vif uniforme, avec un bandeau blanc sous les fenêtres, semblable à celui du Capitole.

3 B7D prendront vers 2005 la livrée des TER PACA.

Ten of their teammates have gone overseas. They are forbidden to speak with their coaches or general manager. They are biding their time in North America, hoping their stretch of unemployment will lift in short order.
They are at the stay-at-homers, the Bruins players who have elected to remain either in Boston or at their offseason base camps. They are growing restless.
Of the players expected to make the 2012-13 roster, Campbell is one of the eight who have opted not to sign with European teams. The others are Johnny Boychuk, Nathan Horton, Milan Lucic, Brad Marchand, Adam McQuaid, Daniel Paille, and Shawn Thornton. Their reasons for not bolting include wanting to stay with family, the challenge of finding the right foreign team and securing proper insurance policies, and the uncertainty of how long a European stint would last.
Recently at Boston University's Agganis Arena, Campbell and Paille participated in an on-ice session. Former BU standout Mike Grier, who retired from the NHL following the 2010-11 season, led the Bruins' fourth-liners through the paces. Only three other skaters joined Campbell and Paille for the lonely skate: three ex-Terriers in Jay Pandolfo, Brandon Yip, and Chris Higgins.
Following the session, the players hustled off the ice for yet another workout. During the summer, players train with a purpose. The upcoming season is the carrot. They build up their bodies to peak for pre-camp fitness training and kick off the regular season at full tilt.
Now, with the lockout not providing any clarity to their once-highly structured schedules, those workouts have become more of a grind.
In 2004-05, Campbell and Paille were just beginning their pro careers. Both were on entry-level contracts and eligible to play in the AHL. Campbell was in San Antonio, Florida's AHL affiliate. Paille played for Rochester, Buffalo's stacked farm club. Paille's teammates included Ryan Miller, Thomas Vanek, Derek Roy, Jason Pominville, and Paul Gaustad — future core players for the Sabres.
Paille is the Bruins' player representative to the NHL Players Association. All players have been welcome to attend bargaining sessions and participate in conference calls with NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr. They can access a smartphone app that provides regular updates.
But Paille has proven to be the Bruins' best link to remaining informed on the collective bargaining process. He has been busy answering calls and texts from teammates while trying to stay ready for the lockout's conclusion.
The players are faithfully sticking to their workouts, both on and off the ice. All the skating and weightlifting, however, cannot replicate game action. Think of a runner diligently performing intervals and speed work during solo workouts. Those sessions are productive, but do not compare with kicking past — or being passed by — another runner during a race.
Campbell is fighting his restlessness by taking occasional shifts with the Boston Police Department. One of Campbell's acquaintances works on a gang unit. On several nights, Campbell has participated in ride-alongs. When Campbell played for the Panthers, he made similar visits to Miami's Liberty City neighborhood.
As intense as those ride-alongs may be, playing hockey provides the adrenaline Campbell misses the most. He is exploring an opportunity to play for Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic, the team that employs Andrew Ference.
There are risks to playing in Europe. Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask left a game early because of a groin strain. Patrice Bergeron missed time because of a hand injury. The European game on bigger rinks does not translate to the NHL's in-tight battling.
But there is no substitute for game action. When the lockout ends, teams will have shortened training camps. They are assuming they will need approximately a week of tune-ups before regular-season games begin. Only a handful of players from Providence and junior teams will be invited to camp. No preseason games will take place.
Because the regular season will be condensed, every game will become more crucial. In theory, the Bruins should have an advantage because they have had so little roster turnover. A good start, from the Bruins who have been working to the stay-at-homers, is required.
"We won't have much time when this thing gets settled to prepare for the regular season,'' said coach Claude Julien. "We're going to have two different groups here: one that's been playing, and the group that hasn't played. We're going to have a gap there.

Joint Letter – LAYC, Urban Alliance, Higher Achievement Uncertainty, Urgency, and Unending Love.
One week after the Presidential election, our three organizations are grappling with what the results mean for our young people and their families. The hard-working youth we serve have been disenfranchised and failed by systems of education, employment, public safety, healthcare, and more. Our organizations provide the support and opportunities young people need to achieve their dreams despite their current circumstances. In a country where 2 in 10 children live in poverty and more than 5.5 million youth are not in school or working, this election has proven that our efforts are more important than ever.
We now live in an era where increasingly it seems acceptable to tell our young people, their families, and communities that they are not deserving or worthy of opportunity because of who they are, what they look like, how they worship or where they come from. The recent election revealed a deeply divided country, reopened wounds of inequality and injustice while normalizing intolerance and hate. Just this week, a church in Silver Spring, Maryland was vandalized with a white supremacy message. Our children are scared. Young people are afraid of being deported or separated from their families, losing their healthcare and having even fewer educational and employment opportunities as a result of their race, religion, or other identity. Thousands of young people are sharing their fears in protests all over the country.
As women, mothers, and community and business leaders – we say NO to this injustice and a normalization of hate.
And we say yes to love —more love. Now, more than ever before, our children and youth need to be surrounded by caring adults and given unconditional love, increased support and greater, more meaningful opportunities. They need to know that they belong, they are loved and that their dreams matter.
During this time of fear and uncertainty, the stakes are higher and our collective work is even more urgent. The road ahead will be bumpy and unknown changes will come quickly. As leaders, we are committed to pushing ourselves harder, listening more closely and learning through this uncertainty while building new partnerships to unlock opportunities for our young people. And most importantly, we must be prepared to respond quickly and with resilience to our children, youth and families when they walk through our doors. Buy Viagra oline in US you can here https://www.caladrius.com/buy-viagra-cheap-generic-online/.
Ensuring that all of our young people can access supported pathways to high quality education, mentorship, training, employment and a purposeful future – no matter their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religion.
Elevating the voices of the youth and communities we serve.
Working harder than ever to serve more young people.
Lifting up the principles and values that have always guided our work: respect, solidarity, voice, equal opportunity and freedom.
Empowering youth to engage in the betterment of their communities and the world.
Sharing your stories of urgency, uncertainty, and unending love on social media. We will be asking our young people to do the same.
The road ahead may be daunting and uncertain, but, fueled by love, we are committed to ensuring that our young people have the support and resources they need to achieve their dreams.
For some reason, love feels like a radical idea right now. Let's be radical – and take action to keep our children safe, and thriving.


Rugby Six Nations was on this afternoon (the photo above was taken at the Guinness Cup Final last year, so don't be misled) and in his usual fashion, John was shouting, jumping, and (occasionally) swearing at the screen. But instead of plugging in my earphones or using this as an excuse for a shopping trip, I was glued to the screen as well. That's because I love rugby.
1) I hate sports. I was the one who got hit by the basketball in elementary school. I was always last picked for teams. I was the one with no hand-eye co-ordination in junior high. I was the one who the P.E. teacher referred to as, "exceptionally bright in the classroom but talentless in the gym" (he actually meant that as a compliment).
2) I especially hate American football - the closest sport to rugby. I have zero interest in football teams, football scores, football games ... you get the idea. I hate football culture.
But there's actually a third thing you need to know ... I have something I call ... The Rage. I've suffered from The Rage since I was a little girl. Back then, my mom thought the best thing to do was put me in a room by myself when I had a Rage Attack and tell me to take deep breaths in and out and count to ten. I pretended it worked then silently seethed inside when I left the room. Now that I'm older, The Rage is no easier to control. Even John cowers in the presence of The Rage. In fact, my temper has gotten me into a lot of trouble before and the only thing stopping from me either getting arrested or hurt has been an increase in my attendance at yoga class and an increase in the number of people who carry concealed knives in London, thus hindering me from starting any fights.
So that's why I love rugby. I may not be able to express my Rage, but some stocky, 6-foot-something, somewhat attractive (um, Jonny Wilkinson anyone?), testosterone-pumped men can.
I love the scrum, the tackling, good passes, and good kicks. But what I love most is that exhilaration, the thrill of that one player breaking free and cleverly dodging his way between walls of pure muscle and terror to fly through the air and score a try (I'm pretty sure I've dreamed about scoring a try - when I woke, I was lying face-down with my arms outstretched). I do believe I left the Guinness Cup Final hoarse because I was screaming so loudly (for Leicester Tigers, of course).
Until The Rage subsides, I'll be down at the pub ... err ... I mean, at home. Watching the rugby.
