Noise-Induced 'Hidden Hearing Loss' Mechanism Discovered
Much like sun exposure, smoking, or sports-related head injuries, "hidden hearing loss" may be difficult to measure for many years—making it too late to reverse the damage by the time it becomes obvious

On the left, the schematic shows an inner hair cell, with its hair bundle at one end and with three of its roughly 20 synapses with cochlear nerve terminals at the other end. The cell's nucleus is shown in red, and each synapse is marked by a smaller red dot. Immunostain recognizes a molecule present in the nucleus and also in a key synaptic component within the hair cell, called a "ribbon". The images shown on the right were taken with a confocal microscope. The upper image shows eight inner hair cells from a normal ear (each cell has one large red nucleus) and about 150 small red dots (arrowheads), each of which shows a synapse between a hair cell and a cochlear nerve fiber. The bottom image shows another ear a few days after exposure to a noise that caused only a transient threshold elevation. The confocal image shows no loss of hair cells, but a striking loss of synapses, which will never recover.

Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C., May 7, 2014 -- In modern industrialized society, our ears are constantly bombarded by loud noises capable of doing permanent damage to the inner ear, and, unfortunately, destroying delicate hair cells or nerve fibers without causing pain or providing any other obvious warning signs than occasionally ringing in the ears.
For decades, noise-induced and age-related hearing loss research efforts have focused on the loss of hair cells and the threshold elevations this causes. Hair cells have long been considered the most vulnerable elements in the inner ear, but researchers working at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary's (MEEI) Eaton Peabody Laboratory at Harvard Medical School have now shown that nerve fibers are even more vulnerable to damage.
At the 167th meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, to be held May 5-9, 2014, in Providence, Rhode Island, the researchers will report their discovery of "hidden hearing loss."
How Hidden Hearing Loss Occurs
In the normal ear, sound waves are transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they cause vibrations in the sensory epithelium called the "organ of Corti." The organ of Corti turns this mechanical function into electrical pulse trains in the fibers of the cochlear nerve, which then carries the information to the brain for analysis of the acoustic scene.
"The organ of Corti contains two types of sensory cells: outer and inner hair cells," explained Charles Liberman, director of MEEI's Eaton Peabody Laboratory. "The sensory cells are called 'hair cells' because of the hair-like tufts of microvilla on their apical surfaces, which are called 'stereocilia.' Bending the stereocilia opens ion channels in the nerve hair cells and allows a current to flow that ultimately excites the fibers of the cochlear nerve. This is the heart of the mechanical-to-electrical transduction process in the inner ear."
How did hidden hearing loss remain "hidden" so long? There are two key reasons, according to Liberman.
"First, the field of auditory neuroscience didn't appreciate until recently that you can lose up to 90 percent of your cochlear nerve fibers without a change in the ability to detect a tone in quiet," he said. "Tone detection in quiet is the basis of the threshold audiogram—the gold standard test of hearing function. The fact that thresholds may transiently elevate and then recover within hours or days after an acoustic overexposure doesn't mean that the inner ear has recovered."
Second, the most vulnerable part of the neuron turns out to be the synapse between the nerve terminal and the hair cell, and it happens to be difficult to see. "Until recently, they could only be seen and counted by using an electron microscope," Liberman said.
To maneuver around this, the researchers stained synapses with antibodies that target molecular structures within the synapse, which allowed the synapses to be seen and easily counted in a light microscope. This enabled them to view a large number of synapses on hair cells in a normal ear, as well as the greatly reduced numbers of synapses hair cells following a noise exposure that caused only a transient elevation of thresholds. Liberman and colleagues counted synapses on thousands of hair cells.
"Each missing synapse represents a cochlear nerve fiber that has been disconnected due to retraction of the terminal segment—it will never reconnect," Liberman noted. "It no longer responds to sound, and, within a few months or years, the rest of the neuron will disappear."
Sober Implications for Public Health
The public health implications of this finding are quite sobering. "All of our federal noise exposure guidelines are based on the assumption that noise-exposures causing only transient threshold elevation are benign. That assumption is almost certainly unwarranted," Liberman pointed out.
Liberman and colleague Sharon Kujawa, director of audiology for MEEI, demonstrated noise-induced hidden hearing loss in three mammalian ears: mouse, guinea pig and chinchilla. "There is every reason to believe the same phenomenon applies to human ears," he said.
This suggests that every time we go to loud concerts or use power tools without ear protection, we may be losing cochlear nerve fibers and increasing our degree of hearing impairment.
Holding out hope that the damage may possibly be reversible, Liberman is working with Gabriel Corfas, senior associate in neurology and otolaryngology for Boston's Children's Hospital, to explore potential therapies.
"Since the ultimate death of neural cell bodies and axonal projections to the brain is so slow, there is an extended therapeutic window where delivery of chemicals to elicit sprouting of the nerve terminals might be able to reestablish synaptic connections between neuron and hair cell," Liberman noted.
A class of secreted proteins called "neurotrophins" has shown to play a key role in the survival of cochlear nerve fibers, and Liberman and Corfas recently found that overexpression of neurotrophin, in a genetically modified mouse line, partially rescued the post-exposure synaptic loss. "Our work is ongoing in this area," he said.
Presentation #3pID1, "Hot Topics -- Hidden hearing loss: Permanent cochlear-nerve degeneration after temporary noise-induced threshold shift" by M. Charles Liberman and Sharon G. Kujawa will be at 1:35 p.m. on Wednesday May 7, 2014 in room 557 of the Rhode Island Convention Center.

Q: Generating decimal representation of continued fractions without ever-increasing terms? I'm trying to generate a very large number of digits in the decimal representation of a continued fraction, but am running into a scaling problem.  The more digits I compute, the larger my coefficients become, and so it effectively takes $O(n^2)$ time to generate $n$ digits, since the arithmetic takes longer and longer as the numbers grow.
I'm using a homographic function
$$z = \frac{ax + b}{cx + d}$$
to compute digits, starting with $a=d=1$ and $b=c=0$.  Whenever $\frac{a}{c}$ and $\frac{b}{d}$ have the same integer part $i$, I print the digit $i$ and update $z \rightarrow 10(z - i)$, i.e.
$$a \leftarrow 10(a-ic), \qquad b \leftarrow 10(b-id).$$
Otherwise I read in another term $t$ (i.e. $x \rightarrow t + \frac1x$) and update
$$a \leftarrow at+b, \qquad b \leftarrow a, \qquad c \leftarrow ct+d, \qquad d \leftarrow c.$$
The problem is that the denominator coefficients just keep growing arbitrarily, and never have any common factors, so I don't see any way to reduce them.
Is this just a limitation of continued fractions, or is there some clever sub-quadratic way to compute base-$n$ representations?

Starting from the very north of India, Jammu and Kashmir, lies Ladakh, the land of passes. It stretches from the Kunlun Mountains to the Himalayas and is inhabited by people of Tibetan descent that reflect in its history and culture. The barren beauty of Ladakh has breathtaking landscapes, pristine lakes nestled among mountains and rejuvenating fresh air. You'll find Buddhist monasteries that are a sign of Buddhism here. Summer is the best time to travel as the temperatures hit sub-zero during winter. Tourist can reach it by the nearest airport, Leh or through Jammu railway station. However, adventure-loving tourists prefer to cruise by their bikes or travel by road to Leh enjoying the mountains and rugged region along the way. Here, tourists enjoy scenic beauty, trekking, rafting and biking.
Located in the northeast state of Assam, Majuli was formed by the Brahmaputra river. It is the largest river island in the world and has found its place in Guinness Book of World Records. Dating back to 16th century, Majuli is also known for Hindu Vaishnavite monasteries (satras). These places of worship consist of a large prayer hall where devotees can worship Vishnu and Krishna and watch traditional performances such as raaslela. These Satras are indeed a treasure of cultural artifacts. The island happens to be home to around several species of bird and therefore a bird lover's perfect paradise.
The land of color with scores of forts, museums, national parks palaces and lakes, Rajasthan is located in the north west of India sharing its international border with Pakistan. The capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur is known as the Pink city due to resemblance to red color of the buildings. At the center of Jaipur is the City Palace Complex with beautiful gardens, huge courtyards and museums. From the 18th century lies an astronomical observatory, Jantar Mantar, which is open air with fixed astronomical instruments.
Hawa Mahal, the palace of winds, is a five-storey wall like Redstone building that was used by royal women to enjoy the festivities going on in the streets. Amer Fort, a 16th-century fort and a palace atop a hill, is situated outside the city which features carvings and paintings on the wall. It is witness to many battles fought between the Hindu Rajas and Mughal army. On the way to the fort, you will come across Man Sagar Lake where you can see Jal Mahal, an architectural beauty in the middle of the lake, partly submerged in water. Jaipur is just the starting and there are many more interesting places to explore. Udaipur, founded by Maharana Udai Singh II, is known as a Lake City due to its famous lakes as Jaisamand Lake, the largest artificial lake in Asia. The Lake Palace, a hotel now, is located in the middle of Lake Pichola offering a royal view. Outside of Udaipur, Monsoon Palace is located hilltop and offers panoramic views. Udaipur has some of the most luxurious resorts and hotels. Jaisalmer, a golden city, is near India-Pakistan border and the Thar desert. It's famous for Jaisalmer fort, also known as Golden Fort. Here, unlike other forts, people live and it houses shops and hotels. In January/February, Desert festival celebrated which happens to the best time to visit and witness folk dances and songs. Havelis, museums, palaces, lakes, forts, temples, a national park and a desert; there is everything in Jaisalmer.
A historical Mughal city in the largest state of India, Agra is the home of the magnificent Taj Mahal. It needs no introduction to tourists who come here to witness this man-made beauty carved out of white marble. Unsurprisingly, it attracts millions of visitors every year. The Taj Complex is spread across many acres and one can spend an entire day watching Mughal-era architecture. Mughal Garden, The Great Gate and a Mosque are part of it and equally interesting as the Taj. Across the Mughal Garden, lies Red fort where the Mughal Emperor was imprisoned until the last days of his life. This city will surely take you back in history.
A western Indian state, Goa, is famous among foreign tourists. For long, it was a Portuguese colony and got free in 1961, long after India got independence. It's known for beaches spread along the western coast. Querim, Anjuna, Calangute are some of the beaches worth mentioning. Apparently, the Portuguese have left a lasting impression on its culture, food and music. Famous churches as Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Panaji prove it abundantly. The forts dot the coast of Goa and you can see Cabo da Rama Fort and Fort Aguada Jail, Goa's largest prison, below the Aguada Fort.
Not everything is concentrated in the North of India. Head to south to spend some time in the lap of nature, Kerala, known as 'God's Own Country'. It is a coastal state in the south of India known for its backwaters which can be enjoyed in house boat made for tourists who can enjoy tranquility along the palm-bordered Kerala canals. With three adjacent beautiful beaches, Kovalam is a heaven for foreign tourists and there is no dearth of five star hotels. It also has budget cottages and Ayurvedic massage centers in the beach complex. Munnar, a hill station, is renowned for tea plantations on misty hills. If you are a nature and tea lover, it's a must-see place as it's home to a tea museum. Periyar National Park is known for its elephants, and if you want to cruise the jungle on elephant-back, you can enjoy elephant rides here. Though at some distance from each other, backwaters of Alleppy, beaches of Kovalam, wildlife of Thekkady and hill station of Munnar are major attractions spread across charismatic Kerala.
You can spend months in this culturally diverse country exploring its historical cities, monuments and pilgrims. There is so much to see and experience that it will leave you satisfied and full of memories to cherish.

*Geo-restrictions apply & pre-funded account needed
Milos Raonic v Jan-Lennard Struff Head to Head
The two players have met only once on the tour and that match took place in the first round of the 2017 Wimbledon. Raonic won that in straight sets.
Raonic Seeking his First Title Since 2016
The Canadian so far has had a rather decent run on the tour. With seven wins and just three losses, the World No. 14 is slowly clawing his way back into the top 10 although, there is still a long way to go.
He reached the quarterfinal in Brisbane and the Australian Open where he lost respectively to Daniil Medvedev and Lucas Pouille. Raonic took a long break in February, playing in one competition in Rotterdam. Over there, he met Stan Wawrinka in the second round and succumbed to the Swiss in straight sets.
His last title came in 2016 ATP Brisbane, where he defeated Roger Federer in the final. Since then, he has reached the final six times but hasn't had much luck. His last final was the 2018 Stuttgart Open. Despite a dearth of titles, Raonic has done well to recover from his injuries and move into the top 20.
Struff Looking to Emulate his Auckland Run
Struff, who is currently the World No. 54 on the ATP Tour, last played in Rotterdam where he lost in the first round of the qualifiers. He incurred early exits in Sofia, Melbourne, and Brisbane as well and has lost four matches up until now.
However, the 28-year-old German did manage to woo some supporters when he reached the semifinal at the ATP Auckland. While he looked determined to go the distance, his run was stopped by Cameron Norrie.
Raonic v Struff Predictions & Tips
The German is not among the most daunting players on the tour. He has never reached the final on the circuit, let alone win a singles title. Raonic will start this one as the favourite and he should be able to win this one comfortably.
You can watch & bet on Milos Raonic v Jan-Lennard Struff on Monday, February 25. The match is scheduled to start from 11:30 am BST (3:30 pm local time) in Dubai.

2017 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, ESPN analyst, and aspiring professional baseball moundsman Tracy Lamar McGrady Jr. entered the NBA straight out of high school and was selected by Toronto with the 9th overall pick in the first round of the 1997 NBA Draft. The following year, he teamed with rookie Vince Carter to form one of the most exciting, high-flying duos the NBA (and certainly Canada) had ever seen. In 2000, he left the Raptors for Orlando, with whom he led the NBA in scoring in consecutive seasons in 2002-03 and 2003-04. Joining the Rockets the following year, he teamed with international sensation Yao Ming to help Houston return to relevance in the NBA, at one point winning 22 consecutive games, then the third-most in league history. Massively popular with fans and collectors, McGrady's rookie season of 1997 coincided with the onset of the low-numbered insert card mania that now dominates modern card collecting. One of just five examples graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, offered here is a virtually perfect example of McGrady's 1997 Skybox Z-Force Super Rave parallel. Serial numbered 15 out of just 50 copies made, it is arguably McGrady's single most coveted rookie card and unquestionably one of the single most significant basketball rookie cards produced in the late 1990s.

Fans Are Livid Tonya Harding's in the DWTS Finale
Tonya Harding Made It to the "Dancing With the Stars" Finale and Fans Are Livid
There was so much drama surrounding the figure skater's performance last night.
By Caroline Picard Published: May 15, 2018
Last night's triple elimination on Dancing With the Stars: Athletes sent half of the competition home, but not the contestants fans expected. Twitter erupted after controversial cast member Tonya Harding, 47, went onto next week's finale instead of fan favorites figure skater Mirai Nagasu and luger Chris Mazdzer.
Harding, known primarily for her involvement in an attack on fellow Olympian Nancy Kerrigan in 1994, has embarked on a comeback tour this year in the wake of the sympathetic biopic I, Tonya. She dedicated this week's rumba to her deceased father, who she says "never abandoned me," and began to cry almost as soon as she took the dance floor.
"When everybody in the world was against me, my dad was still in my corner — no matter what," she stated.

The teary performance with partner Sasha Farber merited a 33/40 from the judges, tying with Mazdzer and Witney Carson's foxtrot for the fourth best score of the night. The duo also beat out softball player Jennie Daigle and Keo Motsepe in a cha cha ballroom battle, who later went home as well.
Frontrunner figure skater Adam Rippon and Jenna Johnson's near-perfect 39/40 made them a shoo-in for the finale along with football player Josh Norman and Sharna Burgess, but fans were shocked to learn that Harding had made the cut over Nagasu. Social media quickly bemoaned the selection and questioned the show's results.

What just happened on #DWTSAthletes How on God's green earth did Tonya Harding land herself in the finale? Oh well, Josh and Adam are fantastic and I know they will deliver one heck of a finale. Mirai should have been the third and she is always a winner in my book.

If Tonya Harding wins the damn finale I'm gonna be like... #DWTS pic.twitter.com/usFwYfbhyN

Even Harding herself seemed surprised. "I thought they were going to tell us, 'You're going home,'" she admitted to reporters backstage after the show. "I think America has proven that they love me and they wanted to know what happened and now they know. It's really amazing."
Amazing for Tonya, but some very vocal Dancing With the Stars fans seem to think otherwise.
Love and forgiveness are not the same.

ABC has neglected to directly address Harding's backstory on the show, but she pled guilty to hindering the prosecution after ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, bodyguard Shawn Eckhardt, and Shane Stant orchestrated an assault against Kerrigan meant to remove her from Olympic consideration. The subsequent scandal led the United States Figure Skating Association to serve Harding a lifetime ban from the sport.
"It was nice to see that she had a moment," Rippon told USA Today of Harding's performance last week, "but it's also important to remember that skating wasn't taken away from her – that she was banned because she was part of a bad thing."
Harding, Rippon, and Norman will square off in a one-hour finale on Monday, May 21 at 8 p.m ET on ABC.

Volkswagen didn't just buck government regulations, inconvenience and infuriate its customers, introduce more pollutants into the environment than its cars were allowed to produce, and give itself a big old black eye and a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the foot. The automaker also hosed its dealers, who were suddenly unable to sell the company's once-vaunted diesel automobiles and found themselves faced with a chunk of their customer base who, feeling cheated, vowed never to buy another Volkswagen product. It was inevitable that Wolfsburg would wind up having to toss the merchants some cheddar, and now we've got a number: $1.2 billion.
The Los Angeles Times reports that a settlement agreement filed on Friday in a San Francisco federal court agrees to pay out up to $1.2 billion in a class-action settlement, which comes out to about $1.85 million per dealer. VW sales outlets, however, are free to opt out of the class and pursue independent action against the company, which could either reduce or increase the ultimate payout, depending on the outcome of individual cases.
The $1.2 billion figure comes on top of the $10 billion the company must set aside to compensate owners of the affected cars. The Times quoted the dealers' lead counsel, Steve Berman, as saying, "The Volkswagen-branded franchise dealer class action settlement filed today represents an outstanding result for Volkswagen's 652 franchise dealers as of Sept. 18, 2015." A judge's approval of the deal is still pending, though we expect that to be a formality.

We did the math to calculate how many hours it takes America's top CEOs to make what their workers earn in one year

While it's not surprising that CEOs make a lot more money than their employees, the massive extent of that pay gap can sometimes be overlooked.
US companies are required to publish their chief executives' annual compensation, as well as the ratio of that compensation to the annual pay of the company's median employee.
Using those ratios, we calculated how long it took CEOs at 19 of the biggest companies in the US to make what at typical employee earned in a year.
Several CEOs, including Disney CEO Bob Iger and Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson, took less than a day to make a typical employee's annual salary.
CEOs make a lot more than the workers they oversee. We took a look at just how big that gap is at some of America's biggest corporations.
One of the provisions of the post-financial-crisis Dodd-Frank reform bill requires corporations to disclose the ratio of their CEO's pay to that of the median employee at the company. Using those pay ratios, we calculated how long it would take the CEOs of big US companies to make what the median employee earned in a year.
So far, 19 of the 100 largest corporations in the S&P 500 as measured by their market capitalizations have filed their CEO compensation figures and pay ratios for the 2019 fiscal year. More companies will follow over the next several months.
The gap between what a CEO makes and what a typical employee makes varies widely from company to company. Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had a total compensation 88 times larger than the typical employee at his company, meaning it took him a little over four days to earn the median employee's annual salary. Meanwhile, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made 1,076 times what the typical Walmart worker made, and thus earned a median Walmart employee's annual salary in just eight hours.
As with any discussion of executive compensation, it's worth noting that pay for people at the top is a bit more complicated than just getting a biweekly direct deposit. Many CEOs receive the bulk of their compensation in the form of equity in the companies they run, and so they may not realize the full value of their pay as reported to the SEC for years.
Here's the full list, along with the CEOs' fiscal year 2019 compensation, median employee pay, and the CEO to median worker pay ratio:

Note: Rowland stepped down as CEO in September 2019 and was succeeded by Julie Sweet. Accenture also provided an alternate estimate of the CEO pay ratio based on a cost-of-living adjustment, as their median employee was based in India. Using that estimate, the ratio was 298:1, and Rowland would have made what the median employee did in 1 day, 5 hours.

A graduate of Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology, she has had seven solo exhibitions including the Ashford Gallery (RHA); The Molesworth Gallery, Dublin; The Linenhall, Castlebar; and Dunamaise Arts Centre, Portlaoise. Una has exhibited in group exhibitions in Ireland, UK, San Francisco and New York, and has been a regular exhibitor at the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) for the last 18 years winning the award for a Work of Distinction by an Artist of Promise in 1993. She has also been the recipient of several prestigious Arts Council awards.
Una lectured in Painting at IADT from 1991 to 1996 and over the last 12 years she has been an invited tutor on drawing courses in the National Gallery of Ireland and more recently at the RHA. She was invited artist-in-residence for Éigse Carlow in 2009.
Sealy says of her work "My paintings focus on life as observed around me, often depicting family, friends and surroundings in North County Dublin, or further afield while travelling. I work mostly directly from life, preferring to be in the presence of whatever it is I am painting. My style has been described as a kind of "Kitchen Sink Realism" (Brian Fallon, Irish Times 1991) , an apt description I think".

Q: Derived class in a different namespace Is there any recommendation against creating a derived in a different namespace than of its parent? Such as:
namespace NA {
class A {};
}

namespace NB {
class B : NA::A {}
}

A: Namespaces are used to organize code into logical groups and to prevent name collisions that can occur especially when your code base includes multiple libraries.
If you think class A and class B should have under different namespaces (groups), kept them under different namespaces (groups). And when you need to access/ inherit one class from another, you just access/ inherit it following namespace standard.
I don't see any problems here, rather it is a good practice.
Thanks !


DLA is now only available for children under the age of 16, or for people who were aged over 65 in April 2013 who were already receiving it. For everybody else, DLA has already stopped or will do so within the next two years, and they will be invited to apply for Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
However, PIP is not the same as DLA, as it is concerned with how the condition affects the claimant; rather than the condition itself. The Government claims that DLA is "outdated" and that PIP is more objective and hence fairer. The total cost of all PIP benefits is also expected to be 20% less than projected expenditure on benefits under DLA had it continued.
Children receiving DLA, will be "invited" to apply for PIP as they approach their 16th birthday. It is important to remember that they will not automatically transfer to PIP, but must apply and be assessed for PIP in the same way as any new claimant. As long as they apply for PIP, their DLA will continue to be paid until a decision is made on the PIP application. If an application for PIP is not made, then DLA will end at the age of 16.
DLA is intended to cover some of the extra costs of looking after a child who has difficulty walking or who needs more looking after than a child of same age who doesn't have that impairment.
• Care component – for children needing substantial extra personal care, supervision or watching over (compared with other children of the same age) because of a disability. This is payable at three different rates (lower, middle and higher) depending on their needs.
Either component can be paid on its own, or at the same time as the other.

MusicDen Suddenly Surprises His Fans in a Big Way by Dropping Music Video "Mot Trieu Like"
LyLy2 years ago
Đen is a well-known rap artist in the Indie music market. He aired on many famous songs which attracted the big attention from his fans, for example, "Lối Nhỏ" (tentatively translated as "small road"), "Hai Triệu Năm" (tentatively translated as "Two Million Years), and "Cảm Ơn" (tentatively translated as "Thank You").
Unlike the previous songs, "Một Triệu Like" song suddenly published on his official YouTube channel without a teaser or the notification, therefore the listeners felt surprised and excited in listening to this MV. Đen Vâu releasing this song is to mark his Fanpage gain one billion likes.
"Loi Nho" Has Placed Den Vau on the Top 1 Trending on YouTube in Just Two Days...a Remarkable Achievement!
In a natural space, Đen seems to feel more comfortable to "chill" and share his feeling about life. He recognizes that bears only hibernate when they have enough food, eagles can fly before having enough furs, and humans are not allowed to surrender in difficult situations.
This is a meaningful message that Đen wants to give his fans. Besides, he also can feel the lofty pressure of being an idol, therefore he suggests that he is so lucky when not being the idol. Đen always comes out in front of the audience with the most simple image which makes them love him more and admires this talented artist.
Hari Won Demonstrates Her Rap Skill in Vpop Song "It's You"
Following that, Đen is getting "cantankerous". He directly criticizes anyone who wants to judge others. There are many strong opinions and thinking which are given on his song.

Presenting my annual Ode to Thanksgiving, set to the tune of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" (with my humblest apologies to the late, great John Denver). Enjoy!
Well the turkey's bought, it's thawing now.
It looked much smaller at the store.
I need to fill my oven with this bird.
But the pies need baking, the stuffing too.
The rolls can wait, but what to do?
Already I'm so worried I could cry.
That's what my wise sis said.
Don't know why I offered to host again.
I tell you now, this is the last time.
There's no way we're grilling, it just won't fit.
"Everyone will love it," I reassure.
"Every hour you'll check the temperature.
That's what my smart sis just said.
'Cause I'm wonderin' about Thanksgiving.
I tell you now, this might be OK.
Not a big gas-fueled number.
The vents are clogged and we're out of mesquite chips.
"It doesn't matter," my sibling reasoned.
The meat will cook, the outside's seasoned.
That's what my sharp sis just said.
But in hindsight, not a bad idea.
So glad I offered to host again.
I tell you now, I've never felt so blest!

Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time is a 2003 American made-for-TV animated film by Walt Disney Television Animation. It is the first film based on the original television series Kim Possible. The film was directed by Steve Loter for the Disney Channel, and was created with a mix of traditional and computer-generated animation. The starring voices are Christy Carlson Romano as the title character and Will Friedle as her sidekick and best friend Ron Stoppable. This is the first feature-length film based on the Kim Possible TV show, followed by So the Drama in 2005.

Plot
Kim Possible is a high-school cheerleader and world-famous crime fighter, and Ron Stoppable is her faithful sidekick and best friend, who has a pet naked mole-rat named Rufus. The film begins at the start of a new school year, which Ron has good hopes for, until he finds out he's moving away to Norway for his mother's work. Meanwhile, Dr. Drakken, Shego, Duff Killigan, and Monkey Fist team up to steal the Time Monkey idol, a small magic statuette used to travel through time. Kim chases the villains around the globe, but she fails to stop them from stealing the Time Monkey's pieces and activating it.

Kim is visited by a talking mole-rat from the future, a descendant of Rufus named Rufus 3000, who gives Kim a time-travel device and explains that the "Supreme One" has taken over the world in the future and she is the only one that can prevent it. Meanwhile, Drakken, Killigan, and Monkey Fist turn themselves into children and travel back in time to Kim's first day in pre-school in order to discourage her from becoming a crime-fighter. Posing as her schoolmates, the villains try to bully the four-year-old Kim, but she fights them off and becomes friends with four-year-old Ron, while the high-school-age Kim arrives through a time portal to fight Shego.

Foiled, the villains turn back into adults and escape forward in time, to the day of Kim and Ron's first adventure. Monkey Fist goes into the ancient past and retrieves a giant stone gorilla to attack pre-teen Kim and Ron, but they destroy it with the help of their present-day selves. During the fight, Shego is visited by herself from the future, who urges her to steal the Time Monkey. Drakken, Killigan, and Monkey Fist are arrested, but Shego escapes with the Time Monkey into the future. Rufus 3000 arrives and reveals to Kim that the Supreme One is Shego and not Drakken as she originally thought. Kim then activates a portal and she, Ron, Rufus, and Rufus 3000 go twenty years into the future to stop her.

In the future, Shego has become dictator of the world and enslaved the global population. Kim and Ron are captured and sent to their old high school to be brainwashed into obedience, but they are rescued by Kim's younger twin brothers, Tim and Jim, along with Rufus 3000 and an army of naked mole-rats. Kim and Ron are taken to the secret headquarters of the resistance movement, whose leader turns out to be their old computer guru Wade Load. Together, they sneak into Shego's palace, where they fight their way past Monkey Fist and Killigan (now a cyborg) to Shego's throne room where she keeps the Time Monkey. Shego is waiting for them however, and has Kim engage in battle with Drakken, who has undergone genetic enhancements to become super-humanly strong. Kim's old friend Monique, also a part of the resistance, breaks into the palace to assist her, but the two are eventually defeated while Jim, Tim, Wade, and Rufus 3000 are captured by Killigan and Monkey Fist.

Shego reveals that she separated Kim and Ron by making money in the dot-com bubble, buying the company that Ron's mother worked for and having her transferred to Norway, her reason being that while together, Kim and Ron actually made a decent team, but if they were apart, they couldn't stop her. Angered at Shego for having made him move to Norway, Ron overpowers Drakken and accidentally destroys the Time Monkey, undoing all the effects the idol had done to the time stream. This causes Kim, Ron, and Rufus to float through a time gate and travel back to the first scene of the film, at the end of Kim and Ron's first day of school at the beginning of the film. At the moment when the first time disturbance occurred, a wave of temporal distortion washes over Kim and Ron. When it passes, Shego's future is erased and the world is restored to its original state, the two teens having lost all memory of the film's events.

Glukogena aminokiselina je aminokiselina koja se može konvertovati u glukozu putem glukoneogeneze. Ovo je u kontrastu sa ketogenim aminokiselinama, koje se konvertuju u ketonska tela.

Proizvodnja glukoze iz glukogenih aminokiselina obuhvata pretvaranje ovih aminokiselina u alfa ketokiseline i zatim u glukozu. Ovi procesi se odvijaju u jetri. Ovaj mehanizam je predominatan tokom katabolize.

Глукогене аминокиселине


Stirling Moss and Vanwall had won the last two races of 1957 but by then the world title was done and dusted. But anyone who expected Juan Manuel Fangio to resume his stranglehold on the championship in what he had said would be his last season when the real action resumed in Argentina was in for a wake-up call. The world was moving on.
Fangio was almost 47 and was conscious the would-be-champions snapping at his heels were almost all two decades or more younger and almost all British. His Maserati team had withdrawn from the sport, but were still providing cars to privateers. Formula One was also moving on with some fairly major rule changes. Alcohol-based fuel was banned in favour of Avgas (a change that worried Vanwall in particular) while drivers pitting and swapping cars was all but outlawed. A championship for manufacturers had also been instigated for the first time.
Vanwall also opted not to travel to Buenos Aires, and so Moss drove a Cooper; it was the only non Maserati or Ferrari is a small field. He had actually not decided which car to drive despite his previous season's success with Vanwall. And he only just made the race after his first wife, Katie, accidently stuck her finger in his eye two days earlier while they were "skylarking". He was taken to hospital and then he had to be examined by a doctor 30 minutes before the start and only removed bandages minutes before the beginning.
Defending champion Fangio, who had won the previous four Argentine Grands Prix, took pole in his privately-entered Masarati and led early on, breaking the track record several times, before being overhauled by Moss on the 35th lap when he had to pit with worn tyres.
After a cautious start, Moss was getting to grips with the rear-engined Cooper and fought his way past Ferrari's new Dino 246 machine complete with V6 overhead camshaft engine. In the lead, Moss' big concern was to preserve his tyres because the Cooper was without single centre-nut wheel-fixing and a pit stop would prove far too costly. In the closing stages, and with his tyres shredded, Moss just managed to hold off Luigi Musso with Mike Hawthorn a close third. In the end, the lightness of the Cooper-Climax which meant it was less punishing on tyres was the crucial factor.
Moss' win was the first in the championship for a rear engined car, the first for an independent team and, of course, the first for Cooper.

The Red Pill And The Genius Of The Catholic Church
Yesterday, on the excellent Andrew Klavan Show, he interviewed Cassie Jaye, the filmmaker behind the movie The Red Pill.
I watched it last night and thought it was superb. Cassie was a documentarian of impeccable feminist and progressive credentials when she decided to investigate the men's rights movement. She went into the project thinking she'd find hate and misogyny and came out the other end having thrown away feminism. It's well-made movie that documents her journey as much as it does the subject.
The one thing that jumped out to me as a Catholic and an instructor in the Church's marriage preparation classes was the genius of the Church. We're not mentioned in any way in the movie and the film is not religious in the slightest. Instead, it's a description of the antagonistic relationship between men and women, feminists and men in particular. The problem arises when you see us as separate creatures rather than cooperative ones that complete each other.
In marriage, we say that the two become one. It is no longer me, but we. Feminists vs. men is nothing if not an atomization of that bond. Further, Saint John Paul II's Theology of the Body brilliantly lays out how men and women are complementary. It's not about individual rights, it's about how we serve each other in different ways, based on our sex. Yes, there are areas of overlap, but the key is how we meld into one to make a greater whole, not how we compete for the same things.
If that was what we were striving for as a culture instead of who gets which jobs and who gets paid what, we'd be a lot better off because we'd be working with nature instead of against it. Oh well.
Having said all that, the movie is still well-worth watching. It's available on Amazon and is free to Prime members.

On March 19, 2009, the U.S. Department of Treasury announced an Auto Supplier Support Program to provide up to $5 billion in financial assistance to certain suppliers of any domestic automakers electing to participate in the program. The program will provide eligible suppliers selected by participating automakers with (1) access to government-backed guarantees for certain receivables from the participating automakers for a fee, and (2) the ability to sell certain of their receivables into the program at a discount. The financial terms of the program have not yet been determined.
Any U.S.-based auto supplier that agrees to ship to a participating automaker may be eligible to receive benefits under the program with respect to receivables created from goods shipped after March 19, 2009. In order for an auto supplier to be eligible, the supplier must agree to maintain "qualifying commercial terms" (which have yet to be determined). Decisions about which suppliers and which receivables will receive protection under the program will be made by the participating automakers.
In its March 19, 2009 press release, the Treasury indicated that General Motors and Chrysler have already agreed to participate in the program. The Treasury recommended that auto suppliers contact the procurement officer at their customers that agree to participate in the program for information about the process for enrollment those automakers will establish. However, to date neither General Motors nor Chrysler have further details on the program or can provide information on how to proceed. Those who wish to consider selling receivables into the program should contact any relevant lenders to determine whether any lender consents may be required.
Certain aspects of the program have not been fully resolved. Ford indicated that it does not intend to participate in the program. It is unclear whether Ford or other domestic automakers will ultimately elect to participate in the program, and how non-Tier 1 auto suppliers can participate in the program. We continue to monitor developments in the program. If you would like to consider requesting participation in the program, you may wish to contact the procurement officers at your participating customers when they are set up to respond. We will also monitor the readiness of participating automakers.

Hinton wraps up Tortillas style burritos with a personal twist
The Southerner
By Gracie White
Any city worth its margarita salt has its signature burrito restaurant, that place locals love and tourists don't know exists. In Atlanta, for many restaurant-goers, that place used to be Tortillas. Matt Hinton hopes to create a Tortillas-esque restaurant with the opening of his place, Bell Street Burritos.
"I ate [at Tortillas] practically every day, sometimes twice a day for over 10 years," said Fred Schuster, Inman Middle School parent.
As popular as the burrito joint was, it closed in 2003 after being in business for 20 years. Tortillas regular and aspiring entrepreneur, Hinton said the craving for a Tortillas burrito was so unbearable that he decided to take the matter into his own hands.
Hinton was a professor of religion at both Morehouse and Spelman colleges. When the economy started to collapse, he wasn't able to instruct the classes he had been hoping to teach. He also realized he needed to make more money to support his family.
Hinton decided to sell Tortillas-style burritos to his friends on the side to make some extra cash.
The day Tortillas closed, the restaurant released its recipes for the items on their menu. Hinton realized they were incomplete and saw many holes and gaps in the recipes he needed to fill.
Hinton said he attempted to hunt down every missing ingredient but then decided to just add his own personal flair instead. The burritos he made still contained the essence of Tortillas but not the identical ingredients.
Selling burritos, however, was the kind of job that required a huge time commitment. Hinton realized he would have to completely commit to this new business or give it up.
"I knew it was illegal [to sell burritos without a permit]," Hinton said. "I did it anyway, but a little after I'd started, a food critic got a hold of my story, which made it difficult to work under the radar."
Hinton said he then had two options: either close up shop or get legal. He chose burritos over the books. He stopped instructing altogether so he could spend more time at his new restaurant, Bell Street Burritos.
"The hardest part about opening the restaurant was the time commitment," Hinton said. "I averaged about 18 hours a day overseeing the beginning months of construction."
The hard work paid off. Bell Street Burritos received an enthusiastic response from its customers. One month after opening, the Howell Mill location had attracted a group of regulars, including Schuster, who has visited it at least a dozen times already.
"It's almost like Tortillas risen from the dead," Schuster said. "The food is just great; it's fresh, unique, and tasty and really cheap."
Even though Bell Street Burritos has many distinguishing features that separate it from Totrtillas—including cleaner bathrooms in Schuster's opinion—and an expanded menu, the restaurant drew the attention of former Tortillas regulars looking for a new laid-back and local burrito restaurant. Bell Street Burritos has caught the eyes of many families looking for a kid-friendly place to eat, which is exactly the type of restaurant Hinton said he wanted to create.
"It's not a run-of-the-mill burrito place," junior Sophie Maschinot said. "It has a down-to-earth feel to it. It was really homey. the employees were all very friendly and made you feel comfortable."
Hinton also acknowledges that working isn't the only priority in his employees' lives, giving his workers Sundays off.
"Everyone needs a break sometime in the week, I don't want to make my employees choose between church and work if they

are religious," Hinton said. "I know we'd make a bigger profit if everyone worked on Sundays, but there's more to life than money, and I think that's important to understand."

The coins are APPC, BCV, BFT, DAT, DGD, EKO, ENG, EVX, GAS, IDT, IIC, LUN, MDS, MT, MTL, MTN, MTX, OST, PRO, QSP, QUN, RCN, RDN, RTE, SALT, STK, TNT, UTK, WPR, XMX, ZJLT, and ZLA.
Huobi has defined the 'ST' warning tag under its administrative rules, and if any token-issuing firms fail to update its quarterly or semi-monthly report in time twice in succession, the exchange might put the warning tag on the token. Moreover, if any coin fails to obtain an average trading volume of $50,000 in 15 consecutive days or violates any exchange regulations, the exchange slaps an 'ST' warning on the coin.
The exchange cited insufficient trading volume of the coins as the reason behind the warning on this list of 32 coins. However, the exchange has clarified that it will re-examine all the listed tokens on the 26th of December again. If the requirements are not met, Huobi might cancel the trading pairs of the tokens.
XRP: Long-Term Investors Are Betting Big on Crypto Asset
Huobi, once China's largest crypto exchange, had to shut its doors overnight due to the country's sudden crackdown on the booming cryptocurrency industry. It then moved its headquarter to Singapore and focused on the lucrative overseas crypto market. It is currently the fourth largest crypto exchange in the world in terms of trading volume, as per CoinMarketCap's data and handles almost one billion dollar worth of trade every day.
In July, Huobi launched a decentralized platform called Huobi Cloud which allows users to build digital asset exchanges using Huobi's existing platform. The firm has also extended its global outreach all over the world including offices in the UK, Japan, Australia, Brazil, and Canada.

A recent MIT-Boston Consulting study of more than 3,000 companies found that 80% of them believed AI (artificial intelligence) would give them a competitive advantage. What's more, we are already seeing the use of AI and RPA (robotic process automation) creeping into the business world, and more specifically into various accounting functions. This is one change that will radically impact many white collar jobs. And that change will happen in the next few years—not ten or twenty years from now.
In this session, accounts payable expert Mary Schaeffer will define AI and RPA and explain how these futuristic tools apply to today's—and tomorrow's—accounting practices. Schaeffer will then provide practical information about the skills you'll need to acquire to make effective—and competitive—use of these technologies in your accounting work. She'll also explain how to acquire those skills.
