Installed new park sensor (yay no "service park assist" message anymore) and installed the AlphaTherm Heated Wash AT-37GM that went in the place of the factory unit that was recalled and removed, so now the button works on the dash and the heated washer fluid is going to be fun .
The wife asked what I wanted for Christmas. Told her buy me a new set of seat heaters for my old worn out body, that's all I want. Purchased them through local dealer Hubbard Chevrolet.
So that is what I did today installed the drivers cushion and back heater today.
Finished installing LED's all around the exterior, now 100% LED/HID.
Tonight looking to retrofit some HID's into the reverse lights!!!!
Would LOVE to see how it turned out as I have been wanting to do the same thing, myself!
Only after they are out, the back pad.
Going through DRL bulbs lately so I'm giving these a try.
RE-mounted my Yakima rack on the bed covers. Originally mounted right when I bought it 5+ years ago, the bolts were completely rusted. Some had actually broken! Brand new 10/24 socket cap screws, and lots of black RTV this time around. Should be good for another 5 years.
That is why I use Stainless Steel hardware that that sort of thing.
Here's a pic of the back with all LED's and tailgate light bar. Haven't done the HID's in the reverse lights yet, still working on that.
Hid's in high/low/fog and LED's everywhere else.
Combine that with the all on high mod............I can see GREAT at night!!!!!
Where did you purchase your LEDs from?
Here is the FB page for the LED's I have.
Had to taker her in for a rear main seal and get the spark plugs changed. Hopefully she's good for another 100k after this.
Changed out the wiring harness from the rear junction block to the passenger tail light assembly on the WBH. That took all of 5 minutes. I had repaired 3 of the wires right at the plug a couple of times already and they were breaking again. $33 for the new harness and piece of mind.
Give me LIBERTY... She is hot!

Gustave Flaubert and Madame Bovary Background
Further Study Gustave Flaubert and Madame Bovary Background
Gustave Flaubert once remarked, "Madame Bovary, c'est moi" ("Madame Bovary is me"). On the surface, this comment seems ridiculous; the circumstances of Flaubert's life have nothing in common with those he created for his most famous character. Flaubert was born in 1821 in Rouen, France. Emma Bovary's father is an uneducated farmer, whereas Flaubert's father was a respected and wealthy doctor. In addition, Emma dreams of becoming sophisticated and cosmopolitan, while Flaubert moved in the highest literary circles in Paris. Finally, Emma endures an unhappy marriage and seeks out lovers. On the contrary, the reclusive Flaubert spent most of his time living in solitude.
Since their biographies are so strikingly dissimilar, Flaubert's comment probably meant that he and his character shared many of the same struggles and desires. Emma Bovary becomes obsessed with an idealized vision of romantic love. Similarly, Flaubert became fixated at a young age upon an older woman named Elisa Schlessinger, with whom he fantasized about having a romantic relationship for many years. Emma suffers from ill health and a nervous condition; Flaubert also suffered from poor health and may have had epilepsy. Though he was an esteemed writer, Flaubert was afflicted with an abiding pessimism that caused him to sink into frequent depressions, just as Emma does when she realizes she never can have what she most desires.
Flaubert, too, could never attain what he most wanted. He remained lonely and bitter throughout his life as a writer. Though admired by his French contemporaries, Flaubert was deeply hurt by the moral outrage Madame Bovary provoked at its publication in 1857. The novel depicted extramarital sex in what were, for the time, graphic terms, and Flaubert and his publisher were put on trial for violation of public morals. They were acquitted, but the experience intensified Flaubert's hatred of middle-class morality.
The hatred of middle-class values is strongly apparent in Madame Bovary. In Flaubert's lifetime, France was caught in the throes of immense social upheaval. The Revolution of 1789 and the imperial reign of Napoleon were recent memories, and the collapse of the aristocracy was paralleled by the rise of a new middle class—or bourgeoisie—made up of merchants and capitalists with commercial, rather than inherited, fortunes. As a member of the educated elite, Flaubert found the moral conservatism, rough manners, and unsophisticated taste of this new class appalling. He attacked the merchant class in novels such as Madame Bovary, the story of a woman imprisoned by her middle-class surroundings, and in another novel, Sentimental Education.
In addition to criticizing the middle class, Flaubert's novel also reacted against romanticism. Romantic writers, who were popular in France between the late eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries, wrote emotional, subjective novels that stressed feeling at the expense of facts and reason. When Flaubert began writing, a new school called realism had started challenging romantic idealism with books that focused on the harsh realities of life. This school included other French writers such as Stendhal and Honorè Balzac, as well as English writers like George Eliot and Thomas Hardy. Unlike his contemporaries, however, Flaubert recognized a strong streak of romanticism in himself. In Madame Bovary, romanticism is present, but Flaubert always treats it with irony. Flaubert allows himself a few romantic moments but recognizes their flaws.
Though it was his first novel, Madame Bovary is Flaubert's most accomplished and admired work. In many ways, the novel provides the blueprint for the genre of the modern novel. For example, Flau-bert was a pioneering stylist, matching the style of his prose to the action of his story in a remarkable new way. Where other realist novels of the mid-nineteenth century used detached, objective narration, Flaubert's prose conveys the mood of his characters. When Emma is bored and restless, the prose plods dully; when she experiences sensual pleasure, it moves rapturously and swiftly. We frequently see this technique of communicating mood through language in novels today.

Rockville (MD), November 16, 2018 — It's beginning to look a lot like food gifting season. Market research firm Packaged Facts estimates 54% of those who purchased food gifts for others in the last 12 months have done so for the winter holidays of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. Likewise, 29% of those who have purchased food gifts for themselves have done so during this period.
The findings were published in the report Food Gifting in the U.S.: Consumer and Corporate, 6th Edition.
Overall, boxed chocolates/candies remain the most prevalently chosen food gift that people purchase for others, with some 27% of food gifters purchasing boxed chocolates/candies for someone else in the past 12 months, according to Packaged Facts' survey. Other relatively widely purchased food gifts include coffee/tea/hot chocolate gifts, sweet baked gift foods, nut/salty snack gift foods, and popcorn tins/gifts.
Not to be overlooked, convenience is an important motivating factor that food gift purchasers cite as a reason for choosing to give these types of presents. Part of convenience involves delivery availability and purchase convenience for out-of-state gifting. Givers also often consider food gifts as ideal for people who "don't really need anything" but who nevertheless would enjoy a high-quality and attractive present.
While online shopping may be an important component of the food gifting purchase experience, it remains a supplementary driver. Some 29% of food gifters say they typically look for specialty food gifts they can purchase online.
Packaged Facts estimates that 36% of food gifters have purchased food gifts at Walmart and 27% purchased them at similar stores such as Target and Kmart. Some 30% purchased food gifts from a traditional supermarket and 28% did so from a warehouse club.
Ever omnipresent Amazon is used to buy food gifts by 24% of respondents. Some 10% of respondents use this source the most for their food gifting needs. Other digital-only options, such as online floral retailer and other online-only retailer, rank near the bottom of the list.
For this report, food gifts are defined as food items that are packaged in a way that is suitable for gifting. Food gifts must be purchased; a food item prepared at home and given to someone is not included. There are two types of food gifts: 1) Gift-packaged candy – includes boxed chocolates, other gift-packaged chocolate and non-chocolate gift-packaged candy; and 2) Specialty food gifts – gift-packaged foods other than candy/chocolate. Food gifts range from baskets of treats to eat while watching football to food gift baskets at Christmas or birthdays. Food gifts can be purchased for any occasion or no occasion, for someone else or for oneself. While some food gifts, particularly assortments, may include beverages such as coffee or alcohol, those products as stand-alone gifts are excluded from this report. Food baskets refer to pre-packaged assortments of foods and beverages, not consumer-assembled baskets of these items.

Q: How to let react consider returned value of custom hook as stable identity? In the react document, we can find:

Note
React guarantees that setState function identity is stable and won't change on re-renders. This is why it's safe to omit from the useEffect or useCallback dependency list.

Sometimes, custom hook can also guarantee the returned function identity is stable, is it possible to let react know it?

Added after discussing with Jayce444:
If react dose not consider the returned value of custom hook as stable identity but we omit it from the dependency list of other hooks, npm will report warnings

A: In your case you don't really want to just hide that warning for custom code. React does it for setState functions because it's referring to something inside its own library. As commenters have mentioned, you can disable the linting rule for that specific line, but it's probably better just to include this dependency.
When you write code, you generally want it to be loosely coupled from its context, to make no assumptions about where exactly it's being used. While in your current use case, you know the function from the hook isn't changing, that could change in the future. Consider this example:
const useCustomHook = () => {
    const calculate = useCallback((number) => {
        // Do stuff here
    }, []);
    return ({ calculate });
};

const MyComponent = () => {
    const [number, setNumber] = useState(0);
    const { calculate } = useCustomHook();

    useEffect(() => {
        calculate(number);
    }, [number]);

    // rest of the component
};

Simple example, you have a memoized calculate function returned from the custom hook, and a number in your component's state. When the number changes, recalculate. And you can see, we've left calculate out of the useEffect dependencies, as you're wanting to do in your use case.
But let's say this changes, and we replace the custom hook with this one:
const useCustomHook = () => {
    const someValue = useContext(someRandomContext);

    const calculateOne = (number) => {/* some code */};
    const calculateTwo = (number) => {/* some code */};

    const calculate = useCallback(someValue ? calculateOne : calculateTwo, [someValue]);

    return ({ calculate });
};

Now, when the context value changes, the calculate function changes too. However, if you don't have that dependency in your component's useEffect, the calculation won't actually get fired, and you'll now have a stale/incorrect value in your state.
While technically having that dependency may be redundant for you at the moment, if you program defensively you'll avoid bugs like that which can be a pain in the ass to track down. Especially because of the chains of dependencies you can get when using custom hooks, and hooks that use other hooks, etc.. It's literally a handful of extra characters in your dependency array, best to just add it and avoid a potential headache down the road.

A: @Jayce444, Thanks very much, I know your option.
My goal is to declare the hook like useState very much, ThisHook = useState + immer(https://github.com/immerjs/immer)
Here is my custom hook

import produce, { Draft } from "immer";
import { useCallback, useState } from "react";

export type DraftMutation<T> = (draft: Draft<T>) => void;

export function useImmerState<T>(
    initialValue: T
): [T, (mutation: DraftMutation<T>) => void] {
    const [value, setValue] = useState(initialValue);
    const setValueByImmer = useCallback((mutation: DraftMutation<T>) => {
        setValue(oldValue => {
            return produce(oldValue, draft => mutation(draft));
        });
    }, []);
    return [value, setValueByImmer];
}

Then, let's discuss how to use it.
Setp 1, define a simple type, like this:

interface Point {
    readonly x: number;
    readonly y: number;
}

Setp 2, use my custom hook is functional component

const [point, setPoint] = useImmerState<Point>({x: 0, y: 0});
const onButtonClick = useCallback(() => {
    setPoint(draft => {
        draft.x++;
        draft.y++;
    });
}, []); //Need not add 'setPoint' into the dependency list, and no eslint warining should appear

Your demo is very greate, but this hook can guarantee it have no problems. This hook looks like useState very much, that's why I want this future. React should support it if the developer knowns what he/she is doing.

A: Considering you want to silence react-hooks/exhaustive-deps eslint rule for specific names, I have written a patch for that rule, which allows me to use the following config:
'react-hooks/exhaustive-deps': [
  'warn',
  {
    stableHooksPattern: 'useDispatch|useSharedValue|useErrorDropdown',
    ignoredDepsPattern: '^navigation|navigate|popToTop|pop$',
  },
],

which essentially results in the following hook call being "clean":
const navigation = useNavigation();

useEffect(() => {
  navigation.navigate('Voila');
}, []);

Python 3 gains a big helping of library support
Python 3 will overtake Python 2 in library support in a few months, according to Microsoft's statistical analysis
By Serdar Yegulalp
Senior Writer, InfoWorld |
BananaStock/Thinkstock
Pity the poor Python 3 programmers who chose the latest version of the language and found that many of their favorite libraries are only compatible with Python 2.
Fortunately for them, more Python 2-only libraries have become cross-compatible with both versions. And according to Microsoft's Python Engineering team, the sun may set on the "sorry, no Python 3 spoken here" world sooner than we thought.
[ Find out how to handle the real-world problems faced by developers, with InfoWorld's professional programmer's business survival guide. | Keep up with hot topics in programming with InfoWorld's Application Development newsletter. ]
Microsoft harvested data about Python compatibility for libraries currently registered with PyPI (Python Package Index), the default repository for third-party Python libraries. After crunching the numbers, the group came up with two takeaways.
Python Engineering at Microsoft
Over the past five years, the number of Python 3-ready projects has risen steadily -- and the number of Python 2-only projects has declined just as steadily
First: Not only was support picking up for Python 3 -- that is, more existing Python 2 libraries were becoming Python 3 compatible -- but Python 2-only support was on a steep decline. From February 2011 through February 2016, Python 2-only support for PyPI packages dropped from a high of 80 percent of all packages to a low of about 20 percent.
The other discovery was that Python 3 support will overtake Python 2 in short order. Based on the rate of uptake for Python 3 libraries and the rate of decline for Python 2-only libraries, the Microsoft team predicted that 3 will overtake 2 by "around May of this year."
Over the last couple of years, the pace of Python 3 adoption has accelerated notably. In the Linux world, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu have opted to make Python 3 their default version of the language. OpenStack, written mainly in Python, has an ongoing initiative to port to Python 3.
Aside from Microsoft's work, there have been other efforts to track Python 3 progress. Py3readiness.org, a site that tracks the Python 3 status of the most popular Python packages, reports that 321 of the top 360 Python packages can be used with Python 3. A few high-profile stragglers remain, like MySQL-python, ansible, and Fabric, but the vast majority of the top projects are Python 3-ready.
Python 2 will stop receiving updates and maintenance after 2020. The deadline was extended from 2015 after it became clear the pace of conversion to Python 3 wasn't what language creator Guido van Rossum hoped for.

The Trouble Ahead
Warren Buffett recently opined that bonds should come with a warning label these days. Bond fund buyers are in for a rude awakening when they see what happens to their supposedly "safe" fixed-income investments in a rising interest rate environment.
This article published with permission from InvestmentU.com.
Warren Buffett recently opined that bonds should come with a warning label these days.
That is doubly true of most bond funds. Many investors are about to get steamrolled. But if you act now, you can avoid getting hurt.
Let me explain…
Historically, the best-performing bond funds have had one thing in common: low expenses.
For example, Vanguard's fixed-income funds are routinely found in the top quartile of annual bond fund performance. Why? Unlike stocks — where security selection is the key to outperformance — it's tough to increase returns by picking individual bonds.
However, I'll concede that it is possible.
More than 30 years ago, Bill Gross and his colleagues at PIMCO pioneered a new approach to bond investing. Until then, a lender handed his money over to the borrower and then collected interest until the borrower repaid the loan.
The notion that anyone might routinely trade these instruments by selling them to others prior to maturity did not exist.
Gross recognized that opportunities exist to trade in and out of various sectors of the bond market — as well as individual issues — and moved to capitalize on this reality.
As a result of his expertise, the PIMCO Total Return Fund has outperformed through all market cycles over the long term. But Gross is often called "The Babe Ruth of Bonds" precisely because this is so darn hard to do.
Historically, the vast majority of fixed-income managers underperformed their unmanaged benchmark, like the J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index or the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index.
But — surprising many analysts — this hasn't been the case lately.
Hitting the Mark
Last year, for instance, 79% of intermediate-term bond funds — which hold a mix of government and corporate bonds maturing in five to 10 years — beat their benchmark. And over the past year, investment-research firm Morningstar estimates that long-term government bond funds beat their benchmarks by 2.5 points.
Predictably, money is now cascading into actively managed bond funds as investors chase performance the ways dogs chase cars. (And with the same general results.)
Industry figures show that three-quarters of new fixed-income investments are going to bond pickers, not passively managed index funds.
Big mistake.
The hot bond funds are hot precisely because they are taking significantly more risk than the index funds.
Consider "duration," a measure of a fund's sensitivity to interest-rate changes based on the average maturity of the bonds it holds. As most bond investors know, you get a higher yield by owning longer maturities. So these bond fund managers have simply increased the average duration of the bonds in their portfolios.
This is all well and good as long as rates are steady or dropping, as they have been for the last 30 years. But when rates rise — as they inevitably will as the economy improves and the Federal Reserve ends its quantitative easing policy — these bonds (and bond funds) will get hurt much more than those with shorter maturities.
Dumb moves
Bond managers also goose returns by buying "junkier" bonds. This, of course, is riskier than owning bonds of higher credit quality.
And, thirdly, many bond managers are using leverage. That means they borrow money to buy extra bonds and thereby further increase yields. This is the equivalent of buying stocks on margin — and shareholders can expect the same result when the bond market sells off (which it will when interest rates rise).
In short, at the tail end of a 30-year rally in bonds — the longest and most massive in history — investors are piling into precisely the wrong investment. They are buying actively managed funds (with high expenses) that own longer maturities and riskier credits using leverage.
If you don't understand what is going to happen here, visit your local old-timer and ask him what happened to his fixed-income portfolio in the early '80s.
It wasn't pretty.
And while it's unlikely we'll see the sort of hyperinflation that plagued investors three decades ago, bond fund buyers are in for a rude awakening when they see what happens to their supposedly "safe" fixed-income investments in a rising interest rate environment.
All fixed-income investors face an important choice. They can switch to low-cost, passively managed short-term bond ETFs and index funds, or they can stick with the active fund managers and learn the hard way.
The wise will opt for the former. As Ben Franklin said, "Experience is a dear school but fools will learn in no other."

Are Bluetooth headphones superior to wired ones for outdoor sports? Until recently I was convinced Bluetooth earphones were one of the best accessories I could use on my bike rides. I have my iPhone mounted on my handlebars and with no wires attached. I can listen to music for the length of my ride, usually two or three hours, three or four times a week, without any impediments.
With Bluetooth headphones, I never had to worry about getting tangled in a speaker cable. That was the good news. But when you ride, you sweat, and Bluetooth devices tend to be temperamental about moisture. After about 90 minutes, I started hearing warning beeps to let me know my BT battery was running low. Soon afterward, my earphones went silent. Time to recharge the batteries.
I was annoyed. I still had seven miles to go to get back to my car. Bike riding is boring for me without music. Silence is nice when I'm having breakfast, but when I ride I want my tunes. Dead earphones are as unpalatable as cold coffee. They can ruin my day.
Which is why I started carrying an extra set of earphones on my rides. The second set was a wired headset. One day I plugged it into my phone instead of the BT earbuds. Whoa! The music leaped from 1950s analog to 2016 digital stereo, or so it seemed. Trucks zooming by? Airplanes overhead? No problem. Volume, clarity and sound separation were so far superior to even my best BT earbuds that I was amazed. As long as I can hear some outside noise, I feel safe. The earphones don't cancel out all sound.
I poked around the Internet trying to figure out what might be affecting the life of the BT batteries. The louder you play your music, the shorter the lifespan of your batteries. And if you sweat a lot, that interferes with battery life. One day my batteries lasted 2.5 hours. Many of the BT 4.1 earphones claim they'll last up to 12 hours before needing to be recharged. I've never had that experience.
Dangling audio wires can be a nuisance, but frankly I haven't found that to be a big deal. If I can hear my music reliably and at a level I enjoy, and not have to worry about charging up the BT battery every time I head out for a ride, an audio cable becomes an insignificant compromise. On the other hand, if I'm just sitting in front of my computers or lounging on the porch, BT earphones are fine. It's when I'm away from home that their finicky battery life becomes an issue.
If you're considering getting earphones for cycling, keep in mind you will pay more for BT devices. Wired earphones are inexpensive and can provide a better audio experience. They never need to be recharged. Plug them in and listen. What could be simpler?

MC Board Chair Gives Back to the Institution that First Welcomed Her as an Immigrant
Home Homepage 2019, Featured, November MC Board Chair Gives Back to the Institution that First Welcomed Her as an Immigrant
Gloria Aparicio Blackwell dreamed of going into engineering, but circumstances—and timing—set her life on a different course. A native of Churuguara, a small town in western Venezuela, Aparicio Blackwell has overcome challenges from her experiences as an immigrant to the United States and as one of few women in a male-dominated career field. Now, as chair of the Montgomery College Board of Trustees, she continues to give back to the community college that welcomed her almost 35 years ago.
Gloria Aparicio Blackwell (second from right) with other MC leaders during a visit to the College from Adrienne Jones, Maryland speaker of the house
As a young woman in Venezuela, Aparicio Blackwell faced bitter disappointment when a faculty strike at her local university prevented her from starting an engineering program there. But she found another way forward—she enrolled in a technical college, where she discovered a program in safety and fire science.
Part of that educational journey brought her into places she never thought she would go, including oil refineries.
"They sent me to the oil fields in Maracaibo [in northwestern Venezuela]," Aparicio Blackwell says. "There, I learned to put into practice what I was learning in the classroom. I even went into the middle of a lake where they were extracting the oil… It was fascinating."
One of just five women in the program, they were learning among 30 men.
"Having that opportunity was very exciting because then you can prove that you can do it, and it was always a challenge," she says. "I always wanted to be on the front lines. They said it was only for guys, I said 'no, I can do it.'"
Aparicio Blackwell later emigrated to the United States and settled in Silver Spring. That was when she first learned about Montgomery College. She enrolled and continued taking courses in fire safety, ultimately joining the Facilities Department as a student worker at the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus. Her manager at the time served as a mentor, she recalls, and gave her opportunities to make mistakes and learn:
"The support and the welcoming that you get can really break or make you through the process of coming to another country," she says. "That really resonated with me."
You can do it, too. If you want to be a part of a community, if you want to be a change agent, be involved
After transferring to the University of Maryland and graduating with a bachelor's in industrial technology with a concentration in safety and fire science, Aparicio Blackwell went to work for American University and then Pepco, the electric provider to much of the Washington, DC area. In 1997, she returned to her alma mater, University of Maryland, this time as an employee in the safety area.

At that time, the university had a large Latino population in its Housekeeping Services Unit. Aparicio Blackwell soon found herself translating safety instructions for employees, and working on conflict resolution and diversity programs.
"It was then I realized that people didn't have much information," she says. "How could we connect the university with our communities?"
In 2012, Aparicio Blackwell launched the Office of Community Engagement at University of Maryland, a unit she leads to this day. She has been a Montgomery College trustee since 2009. Now, as the board chair, she enjoys a unique opportunity to share her perspectives on immigration as well as the role of higher education in workforce development, especially in how it can—and should—adapt to changes in technology and the changing nature of work.
"I know that Montgomery College is ready, and that many programs that we are putting in place are to address those different dynamics coming in," she says. "At the same time, we as the board have to be more strategic and start thinking about how we take on the new challenges that are coming."
Her time with the board, now in its eleventh year, is her way of giving back. "I have been so fortunate and honored to be a part of this institution–an institution that opened the door to me and gave me the foundation of what my life is here in the United States."
College's Trustees Do More Than Govern: They Give
Aparicio Blackwell's message to students and immigrants is this:
"You can do it, too. If you want to be a part of a community, if you want to be a change agent, be involved. Being part of your community is most important because that is who you are; that is where you live; that is what you are a part of, an ecosystem."

Satyameva Jayate 2018 movie
Veer (John Abraham) takes the mission of killing corrupt cops in the Mumbai Police force. Haunted by ghastly incidents from his past, he turns into a vigilante and Veer has his own mysterious plan of action. Meanwhile, the honest and intelligent inspector Shivansh (Manoj Bajpayee) has given the arduous task of tracking down the police killer.
Movies with themes of anti-corruption and misuse of power are relevant to our times, now more than ever before 'Satyameva Jayate' (SMJ) is an action thriller that works on the simple premise of an angry man, fighting corruption with raging passion and violence. While the setup is pertinent, the execution is far from ideal. This masala entertainer has a huge hangover of the staple cinema that used to attract crowds during '70s and' 80s. But the thundering background score (the Sanskrit chanting used to heighten the drama in many scenes), unrelenting drama and over-the-top action, make this movie feel a little too jaded.
The film starts off with Veer (John Abraham) burning a cop alive. It sets the tone for the rest of the film, which over a course of 2 hours and 20 minutes, does not deviate from the set path. Veer miraculously shows up every time a police is committing a crime in various suburbs of the city. There is a twist in the story at mid-point, but even after the arrival of this unforeseen development, the screenplay stays on the crusade against corrupt cops and setting them flames. The narrative never changes Gears from the cliched good versus evil scenario, while also doling out lessons on patriotism. The heavy-duty dialogues are written to play, but more often than not they are over-employed and end up losing their intended effect. The rivalry between Manoj Bajpayee and John Abraham's characters had a lot of scope, but the writing failed to explore it in a reliable way.
The performances are a lot better than director Milap Zaveri's vision. John Abraham leads the charge in 'SMJ' While he's tearing up tireless and beating the bad guys to a pulp, he infuses the angry young man Manoj Bajpayee as is in top form His ace act as the fiercely determined and honest cop adds credibility to the film Debutante, Aisha Sharma, has a confident screen presence, with a little more work on diction, she can do much better.
'SMJ' is very hard to sell But the big booming treatment is a bit too hard to accept and digest. With John in the film, one can expect good action, but it's too boggy and a little too bloody at times. Truth be told, the story is relevant in today's times, but too many cliches in the story and the style of storytelling will want to cop out of this one.

Huanglongbing (HLB) is a highly destructive disease of citrus production worldwide. 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', an unculturable alpha proteobacterium, is a putative pathogen of HLB. Information about the biology and strain diversity of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' is currently limited, inhibiting the scope of HLB research and control.
A genomic region (CLIBASIA_05640 to CLIBASIA_05650) of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' showing hyper-sequence variation or locus mosaicism was identified and investigated using 262 bacterial strains (188 from China and 74 from Florida). Based on the characteristic electrophoretic profiles of PCR amplicons generated by a specific primer set, eight electrophoretic types (E-types) were identified, six E-types (A, B, C, D, E, and F) in China and four E-types (A, C, G, and H) in Florida. The 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains from China consisted predominately of E-type A (71.3%) and E-type B (19.7%). In contrast, the 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains from Florida was predominated by E-type G (82.4%). Diversity of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' in China was also evidenced. Strains from the high altitude Yunnan Province consisted of five E-types with E-type B being the majority (62.8%), whereas strains from the low altitude coastal Guangdong Province consisted of only two E-types with E-type A as the majority (97.0%). Sequence analyses revealed that variation of DNA amplicons was due to insertion/deletion events at CLIBASIA_05650 and the downstream intergenic region.
This study demonstrated the genomic mosaicism of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' resulted from active DNA insertion/deletion activities. Analyses of strain variation depicted the significant inter- and intra-continent diversity of 'Ca. L. asiaticus'.
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a destructive disease of citrus production worldwide. All known commercial citrus cultivars are susceptible to HLB. The disease was first noted in Chaoshan area in Guangdong Province of the People's Republic of China in the late of 1800s  and is currently distributed in 10 citrus producing provinces in South China. HLB is now established in Sao Paulo of Brazil  and Florida of the United States  where it poses a great threat to the citrus industry. The disease is associated with three species of non-culturable, phloem-limited, α-Proteobacteria: 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', 'Ca. L. africanus', and 'Ca. L. americanus' [4, 5]. In both China and U.S., only 'Ca. L. asiaticus' has been detected. Due to the lack of pure culture, 'Ca. L. asiaticus' has been poorly characterized. Little is known about the bacterial biology, genetic diversity, and epidemiology.
Sequence analyses of conserve genomic loci such as 16S rRNA gene and 16S/23S intergenic spacer regions have been used to define 'Ca. Liberibacter' species [4, 6]. However, more variable genomic loci need to be identified to better characterize the bacterium. Before the availability of whole genome sequence, Bastianel et al.  identified an outer member protein gene (omp) to differentiate isolates/strains of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' from different geographical origins, although each regions was represented by only one to three strains. Tomimura et al.  analyzed the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a bacteriophage-type DNA polymerase gene and revealed three clusters of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains from the Southeast Asia. All Indonesia strains clustered in one group and the other two clusters were not correlated with geographical origins including Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan.
The completed genome sequence of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' Strain Psy 62 is now available . The annotated genome has 1,109 protein and 53 RNA coding loci and is readily accessible for genomic analyses. Based on the variation of tandem repeat number (TRN) at the locus of CLIBASIA_01645, the population of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains in Guangdong of China was found to differ from that in Florida of U.S. . This analysis of TRN also detected the possible presence of two genotypes in Florida: a TRN < 10 genotype that widely distributed statewide and a TRN > 10 genotype that was limited to central Florida. In Guangdong, TRN variations were more heterogeneous and correlations to geographical origins were not established. A recent report used four tandem repeat loci to analyze 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains from Japan, Taiwan and Indonesia revealed various levels of population diversity, yet correlation to other genotypes or geographical origins was not known . More recently, a prophage terminase gene (CLIBASIA_05610) was used to evaluate population diversity of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' in two geographically distinct citrus growing provinces (Yunnan and Guangdong) in China . The 'Ca. L. asiaticus' populations in these two locations are significantly different in their prophage terminase gene frequencies. In other bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae and Xylella fastidiosa, genomic loci with variable TRN or prophage genes are also known to be valuable descriptors of bacterial genetic diversity [13–17].
This study was to further explore the use of available genomic information for 'Ca. L. asiaticus' characterization. We report our observation of DNA mosaicism or hyper-sequence variation at the locus of CLIBASIA_05650 and the downstream intergenic region in the genome of 'Ca. L. asiaticus'. PCR analyses using a primer set flanking this genomic locus revealed eight electrophoretic types (E-types) of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains from China and U.S. Analyses on DNA mosaic phenomenon depicted the inter- and intra-continent diversity of 'Ca. L. asiaticus'. The molecular nature of DNA mosaicism was identified through sequence analyses.
HLB symptomatic citrus leaves were collected from nine provinces in China (Figure 1, Table 1) and Florida in U.S. between 2007 and 2010. Each sample originated from a single tree and was tentatively considered as a single strain. All collected samples in China were shipped by mail to Citrus Research Institute of Southwest University in Chongqing, or Citrus HLB research laboratory of South China Agricultural University in Guangdong. Collection of HLB samples in Florida have been described previously .

Distributions and frequencies of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' electrophoretic types (E-types) at different locations in China and U.S.
In Chongqing, midribs of citrus leaves were excised and DNA was extracted using the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) methods as previously described . Procedures of DNA extraction in Guangdong and Florida were described previously . 'Ca. L. asiaticus' was identified by PCR with primer sets OI1/OI2c  and ITSAf/ITSAr . DNA preparations were sent to the San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Sciences Center, United Stated Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Services, Parlier, CA, U. S. A. for further analyses.
The whole genome sequence of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strain psy62 (accession number CP001677) was obtained from NCBI GenBank database. Fifteen primer sets, which targeted genomic loci with tandem repeats and prophage genes, were designed by setting the Tm at 60°C and amplicon size around 800 bp with Primer 3 software . Tandem repeat loci were identified using Tandem Repeat Finder (version 4.03) with default parameters . Of the 45 tandem repeat loci, eight loci with 97-100% matches of each repeat were applied in the study. Seven prophage loci were directly selected from the annotated 'Ca. L. asiaticus' psy62 strain genome. DNA from a set of 10 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains (5 from China and 5 from Florida) was used to test the capacity of each primer set in detecting strain diversity. Primer set Lap5640f/Lap5650r flanking the chromosomal region of CLIBASIA_05640 to CLIBASIA_05650 was selected for further analysis because it generated different electrophoretic profiles from different strains. Primer specificity to 'Ca. L. asiaticus' were verified by in silico analysis through BLASTn search against the GenBank database. Primer set LapGP-1f/LapGP-1r, targeting a tandem repeat locus of CLIBASIA_01645 , was also included in this study for a comparison purpose. All primer sets used in the study are listed in Table 2 and Additional file 1.
PCR amplifications were carried out in 25-μl volumes that include 2 μl of template DNA, 0.4 μl of each 10 μM forward and reverse primer, 2.5 μl of 2.5 mM deoxynucleoside triphosphate, and 0.3 μl of EX Taq DNA polymerase at 5 U/μl (Takara Bio Inc., Japan). Thermal cycling comprised an initial denaturing of 96°C for 1 min, followed by 35 cycles of amplification (96°C for 30 s, 55°C for 30 s, and 72°C for 30 s) and a final extension for 4 min. PCR products were electrophoresed in a 1.5% agarose gel and visualized by ethidium bromide staining under UV light.
Although a single amplicon of 797 bp from primer set Lap5640f/Lap5650r was predicted based on the available genome sequence of strain psy62 , multiple amplicons were observed from other 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains from China and Florida. Amplicon profiles on agarose gel were designated as electrophoretic types or E-types. E-type frequencies were summarized and Chi-square test was used to determine the significance of E-type differences at different geographical locations.
DNA bands were excised from the gel and purified using QIAquick Gel Extraction kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Purified DNAs were cloned with pGEM T-easy vector (Promega Corp. Fitchburg, WI) and sequenced using BigDye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit in a 3130 × 1 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Inc.). Multiple sequence alignments were performed using ClustalW (Ver.1.74) program with the default parameters . Manual adjustment was performed when appropriate. Protein secondary structure prediction was performed by the method of Bryson et al.  available in PSIPRED server http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/psipred/. The protein 3-D structure model was built based on a fold prediction protocol with the help of Phyre .
Nine DNA sequences of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' representing different amplicon sizes and collection origins have been deposited in GenBank with accession numbers JF412691 to JF412699 (Additional file 2).
A total of 262 HLB samples detected positive with primer set OI1/OI2c  and ITSAf/ITSAr  were analyzed. Among them, 188 samples were from nine provinces in China and 74 samples were from Florida (Table 1). The geographical origins of HLB samples in China were from locations of both high altitude region (HAR) and low altitude region (LAR) (Figure 1). PCR amplification with primer set Lap5640f/Lap5650r produced eight E-types, designated as E-type A to H. Each E-type was composed of one or more of five DNA amplicons, designated as P1 to P5 (Figure 2). DNA polymorphisms were not detected with the other 14 primer sets listed in Additional file 1 (data not shown), i.e. each of the 14 primer sets generated a single amplicon.

Size unique amplicons are labeled by numbers and designated through P1-P5 with sequence lengths indicated on the right.
The 797 bp calculated amplicon in the genome of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strain psy62 placed the strain to E-type C (Figure 2, Table 1). Surprisingly, E-type C was found in 3 out of the 74 Florida HLB samples (4.1%). Other E-types detected in Florida were A, G, and H. E-type G was predominant (82.4%) followed by E-type A (10.4%) and E-type H (4.1%) (Table 1). Six E-types (A, B, C, D, E, and F) were found in the 188 samples from China (Figure 2, Table 1). E-type A was the most frequent (71.3%), followed by E-type B (19.7%). When geographical origins were considered, E-type A was mostly from LAR locations and E-type B was mostly from HAR locations. Similarly, only 11 samples (5.8%) from China belonged to E-type C (the same as strain Psy62 in Florida) and they were all from HAR locations (Table 1).
To avoid the presence of small expected values in the Chi-square test, data in Table 1 were regrouped into four categories: E-type A, E-type B, E-type G and other E-types for location comparisons. The results showed that the E-type distribution of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' population in China were significantly different from those in Florida (P = 1.12 × 10-44). Within the samples from China, the E-type distribution in the LAR population was significantly different from those in the HAR population (P = 1.59 × 10-22).
To evaluate the correlation between E-types and TRN genotypes, all 74 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains from Florida (Table 1) were also tested for TRNs variations with primer set LapGP-1f/LapGP-1r . All the seven E-type A strains belonged to TRN > 10 genotype, whereas the other three E-type strains were grouped with TRN < 10 genotype. Therefore, the Florida strains could be divided into E-type A and non-E-type A groups, matching with TRN > 10 and TRN < 10 genotypes, respectively, and supported the previous observation that there were at least two groups of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains in Florida. No significant correlation between E-type and TRN genotype was found after testing all 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains from Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces (data not shown).
The sequences of five amplicons (P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5) from primer set Lap5640f/Lap5650r were determined to be 797, 869, 906, 1071, and 1143 bp, respectively (Figure 2). The size of each amplicon was confirmed by sequencing three to five addition 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strains. Alignment data showed that the five DNA sequences shared a common backbone of P1 with P2, P3, P4 and P5 derived from insertion events at nucleotide position 574 and 722 (Figure 3). P2 (869 bp) had a 72-bp direct repeat at position 574 inside open reading frame (ORF) CLIBASIA_05650. P3 (906 bp) had an insertion of 109 bp fragment at position 722 within the annotated intergenic region. Similar to P3, P4 (1,071 bp) had an insertion at position 722 but a fragment size of 274 bp. P5 had both the P2 and P4 type insertions. BLASTn search using the five amplicon sequences (P1 to P5) showed that only P1 and P5 were nearly identical with bacterial sequences currently deposited in GenBank database. The P1 sequence was identical to that in strain Psy62 . P5 was over 99% similar to those of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' strain UF506 (HQ377374.1), Liberibacter phage SC1 (HQ377372.1), and Liberibacter phage SC2 (HQ377373.1) . The insertion/deletion sequences made P2, P3 and P4 unique as comparing to the available 'Ca. L. asiaticus' sequences in GenBank.
Sequence comparison of five types of PCR amplicons (P1-P5) derived from primer set Lap5640f/Lap5650r. Annotation of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' strain Psy62 is used as a reference and shown in the first row where primer set Lap5640f/Lap5650r flanks a region of 797 bp. Open reading frame CLIBASIA05640,05645 and 05655 encode hypothetical proteins. CLIBASIA_05650 encodes a phage associated protein. Nucleotide positions 574 and 722 are marked as insertion/deletion sites.
ORF CLIBASIA_05650 was annotated as interrupted gp229, a phage-associated protein . A 72-bp (24 amino acids) insertion as shown in P2 and P5, which distributed in E-type F, G, or H (Figure 3), created an in frame mutation. Close examination showed that CLIBASIA_05650 was mostly composed of imperfect six amino acids (or 18 bp nucleotides) tandem repeats leading by residue V (Figure 4). Such hexapeptide domains are common to many bacterial transferases represented by LpxA-like enzymes. The secondary and tertiary (3-D) structure predictions on translated amino acid sequences were constructed (Figure 4). The 24 amino acid insertion apparently shortened many of the beta-sheets (Figure 4A) and added a structure motif (Figure 4B) along with the increases of prediction stability in both secondary and tertiary structures. Interestingly, of the 66 strains which have P2 and P5 amplicons, 64 (97.0%) were collected from Florida, U.S., and only 2 (3.0%) were from Guangdong, China (Table 1).
Predictions of secondary and tertiary (3-D) structures of CLIBASIA_05650 by PSIPRED and Phyre servers. Panel A (top): CLIBASIA_05650 allele with a 24-amino acid sequence insert. Six motifs are shown in tertiary structure. The 24-amino acid repeat unit is underlined in red and the second 24-amino acid sequence insert is underlined in green. Panel B (bottom): CLIBASIA_05650 allele without a 24-amino acid sequence insert. Five motifs are shown with the tertiary structure. The potential 24-amino acid repeat unit is underlined in black. In both A and B, the first amino acid of a hexapeptide unit, V, is highlighted in red. Confidence of prediction is presented in bar graph (1-9) in the secondary structure and in P-value in the tertiary structure.
In this study, primer set Lap5640f/Lap5650r yielded one to three amplicons for a given HLB samples. A total of five amplicons with different sizes were identified. They are related by insertion/deletion events, demonstrating the mosaicism in the population genome of 'Ca. L. asiaticus'. In another word, at the locus of CLIBASIA_05640-CLIBASIA_05650, 'Ca. L. asiaticus' possesses alleles composed of sequences identical in some parts but polymorphic in other parts. DNA mosaicism described in this study is largely from size variation of different PCR amplicons and confirmed by sequencing with limited strains. Deng et al.  showed the co-amplification of different amplicons from primer sets targeting the rrn locus in the chromosome of 'Ca. L. asiaticus'. However, further sequencing investigation was not reported.
As shown in Figure 2, the mosaicism of E-types B, D, E, G and H is represented by multiple DNA bands from the same PCR primer set, raising a question if a HLB sample has single or multiple clones (or clonal strains) of 'Ca. L. asiaticus'. This is of particular interest, since 'Ca. L. asiaticus' DNA obtained was not from a clonal pure culture. Further complicated the issue is the variation of amplicon intensity, suggesting different concentration of PCR templates. If a single clone scenario is considered, the bacterium should have multiple Lap5640f/Lap5650r loci, either in chromosome or/and in the form of a phage. Lytic phage possessing this genomic locus has recently been reported . Alternatively, the HLB samples may contain multiple clones of 'Ca. L. asiaticus'. More evidence is, however, needed. A third scenario could be the combination of both of the above.
Since the sequenced Florida strain Psy62 belongs to E-type C (Table 2, Figure 2), it is interesting that the frequency of E-type C is low in Florida (4.1%), as well as in China (5.9%). This could mean strain Psy62 may not be the most representative strain. We noted that Psy62 originated from a psyllid and all the 'Ca. L. asiaticus' samples in this study were from citrus. Could it be possible that bacterial population was difference between psyllids and plant hosts? Zhang et al.  recently reported that phages behaved differently between plants and psyllids in Florida. Phage SC1 and SC2 were lytic in dodder plant but remained lysogenic in psyllids.
Among the six E-types in China, five were found in Yunnan and two were in Guangdong (Table 1). The higher E-types number suggests that 'Ca. L. asiaticus' population in Yunnan could be more diverse than that in Guangdong. The uniqueness of P3 (E-type D and E) to Yunnan samples further substantiates the speculation. It should be noted that Yunnan is one of the world origins of citrus species . It remains to be tested if a long history of the presence of citrus species is associated with more diversity of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' population. Information about the population diversity of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' in Yunnan is currently very limited.
The challenge of in vitro culture of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' has been a critical factor limiting our capacity to study the bacterial biology. DNA sequencing and in silico analyses provide a different venue to collect information of unculturable bacteria. Regarding to CLIBASIA_05650, the P1/P3/P4 alleles which encode 18 hexapeptides predominately occurred in 'Ca. L. asiaticus' populations in China, whereas the P2/P5 alleles which have 22 hexapeptides distributed mostly in Florida populations. Hexapeptide variation has been reported in other bacteria . This type of genetic heterogeneity may be associated with phenotypic variation for environment adaptation [17, 28].
This study described and analyzed a DNA mosaic phenomenon in the unculturable 'Ca. L. asiaticus' associated with citrus HLB. In addition to the previous studies on two different genomic loci [10, 12], we identified a new genomic locus that generated single to multiple amplicons from different HLB samples. Analyses on the DNA mosaicism revealed significant inter- and intra population variations of 'Ca. L. asiaticus' from South China and Florida. Further investigation showed that insertion/deletion events contributed to the DNA mosaicisms.

GFA girls lacrosse player Bella Litt of Darien scored eight goals in the Dragons' win over Kingswood-Oxford last week.
It was an up-and-down week for the Greens Farms Academy athletic program as the Dragons mixed in some big wins with some tough losses and, of course, plenty of rain drops.
Boys tennis was the big winner, going undefeated on the week while our baseball team notched its first win of the season.
After a season full of rainouts, the boys tennis team recorded its first win of the season with a decisive 6-1 non-conference win over St Luke's on Wednesday.
The match started with Connor McDonald (Westport) and Sean Minson (Darien) won at No. 1 doubles followed by Aiden Helfant (Westport) and Jack Ramsay (Darien) winning at No. 3 doubles.
The team then went on to play singles, winning five of the six matches led by McDonald at 1 singles followed by Marcus Ng (Greenwich) at 4, Ramsey at 4, Helfant at 5 and senior captain Minson at 6.
Over the weekend, the Dragons went to St. Luke's and played their official FAA match, topping the Storm by a 5-2 score.
The Dragons got out quick in singles with McDonald and Ng winning in straight sets at No. 1 and 3.
At second doubles, Owen Minson (Darien) and Will Schadt (Norwalk) followed with a win, putting GFA up 3-0, but then the match got tighter.
St Luke's then countered with two wins at two singles and one doubles putting the score at 3-2.
The Dragons then received two clutch win by No. 4 singles Ramsay and the third doubles team of Jason Garrelick (Wilton) and Jordan Liu (Stamford) to close the match, helping the team secure a victory.
The Dragons notched their first league win of the season, taking a 5-2 decision over St. Luke's on a cold and windy Tuesday afternoon.
Freshman pitcher Mark Roszkowski (Westport) gave up just two hits and two runs, firing a complete-game win. He struck out seven.
Matt Hochberg (Fairfield) was 1-for-3 with an RBI.
The Dragons went on the road to Greenwich to face FAA power Brunswick and were two-hit by the Bruins pitching, falling 8-0.
Noah Bachner (Weston) and Noah Kanfer (Westport) had the hits with a single and double respectively.
The Dragons fell behind and clawed their way back into the game before falling 9-7 to Avon Old Farms at home on Wednesday afternoon. Liam Murphy (Westport) netted four goals for the Dragons while Charlie Benson (Darien) added three more. Goalie Ryan Pilkington (Weston) made eight saves.
On Saturday, Murphy scored four goals and Zach Liston (Wilton) added three more as the Dragons fell to Hamden Hall on the road by a 19-11 score.
Benson added two goals while Jack Grills (Darien) and Connor Zaminski (Greenwich) added single tallies. Brady Reynolds (Wilton) notched the team's only assist. Pilkington made three saves.
The Dragons went on the road to Kingswood-Oxford and eked out a 14-13 win, snapping a two-game losing streak.
Bella Litt (Darien) scored eight goals, grabbed four ground balls and had three draw controls to pace the GFA offense. Ella Murphy (Darien) and Steph Wistreich (Wilton) both had two goals while Alex Nesi (Fairfield) and Sarah Logan (Darien) notched single tallies.
Murphy added five draw controls to the winning effort along with four ground balls. Assists were awarded to Wistreich and Annie Lew (Greenwich). Kelly van Hoesen (Greenwich) made 17 saves.
Earlier in the week, van Hoesen made 21 saves, but it still wasn't enough as Cheshire was able to pull out a 13-10 win over Greens Farms Academy on Wednesday.
Wistreich had four goals and two assists while Nesi scored three times. Litt had two goals while Paige Benson (Darien) had one goal and one assist and Sarah Peltier (Stamford) set up one goal.
The Dragons played tough, but suffered their second straight road defeat on Thursday, falling 16-12 to Holy Child.
Murphy had five goals to lead GFA while Litt added four goals. Peltier, Logan and Wistreich added single goals. Van Hoesen made 13 saves.
Five first inning errors led a deluge of King runs, but the Dragons shut out the Vikings the rest of the way in falling on the road in Stamford, 15-0.
Jessica Cramer (Wilton) and Piper Dove (Norwalk) both had solid offensive opportunities to reach base for the Dragons, who faced one of the FAA's top pitchers for the second game in a row.
The Dragons, led by Lydia Groves (Stamford), Lucy Nelson (Westport) and Janise Park (Bridgeport), made some spectacular defensive plays, but also fell victim to seven costly errors as Choate ran away with an 11-1 game that was closer than the score indicated.
Leah Attai (Bridgeport) had a single for the GFA offense.
The Dragons lost on the road, battling tough in a handful of matches.
Devon Wolfe (Darien) won five games and Jocelyn Magrone (Darien) won four games each during two single battles while Avery York (Norwalk) and Jesse Boolbol (Greenwich) took five games off their opponent.
At third singles, Ava Ewing (Darien) and Margot Goldsmith (Darien) split sets at 6-2, 5-7 and were up 5-1 in the tiebreaker before falling in the end.
The Dragons improved their record to 2-2 with a 6-1 win over Hamden Hall on Saturday.
All GFA doubles teams played very well, losing only two games across four matches. The No. 1 duo of Dasha Timasheva (Greenwich) and Harriett Wells (Westport) improved their season record to 3-1 with their shutout.
Match of the day was at No. 3 singles: A physical and mental battle that lasted nearly three hours was won by Boolbol in 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) fashion.
Wolfe (6-2, 6-4) and York (6-4, 6-1) both won as did Michelle Fedotova (Greenwich) and Magrone 6-1, 6-1 at second doubles and Ewing and Allison Telesz (Fairfield) 6-0, 6-0 at third doubles.
The Greens Farms Academy Dragons track and field squad competed against three very strong teams at Cheshire Academy, including host CA, Williston, and Millbrook.
Senior and newcomer Matt Jackmauh (Old Greenwich) ran 23.93 in the 200m dash which will qualify him to run the 200 in New England Championship in Bath, Maine on May 19.
Other athlete's that put up qualifying marks were freshman Tim Northrop (Fairfield) in high jump (5'8), and long jump (17-9); Ethan Phan (Bridgeport) in the long jump (19-0), Julia Edwards (Westport) in the 100m dash (14.09), Krya Inston (Norwalk) shot put, 25'1; Kristiana Modzelewski (Westport) 100 hurdles (19.19) and 300 hurdles (51.85) and freshman Sam Freeman (Shelton) 100 hurdles 20.82.
The team competed in the "Froshmore" Invitational held at Jonathan Law High School in Milford on Saturday.
Freeman had a big day. Her personal best time of 19.65 in the 100m hurdles landed her in the final, where she took fifth in 20.09. She also ran the 300 hurdles and ran it in 57.36, a mark that will qualify her to run in New Englands.
Laila Pina (Weston) qualified for the meet by collecting a 1:10.22 in the 400m dash. Caroline McCall (Westport) ran a 2:45.33 in her 1st 800m run also earned her a spot in the New England race.
Other freshman girls that competed, Aniyah Brunson (Stamford) in the 100 (15.59) and 200 (32.31) and Annabel Lawton (Trumbull) ran a 3:18 in the 800m.
Northrop continued to jump well. His 16-4 ½ in the long jump landed him 5th overall, while his 5-4 in the high jump grabbed second.
Other freshman boys that competed were Jackson Rassias (Fairfield) who ran a 2:51 in the 800m and Larson Palmgren (Fairfield) who ran a 5:35 in the 1600.
The under-manned GFA Ultimate Frisbee team placed fourth out of seven teams at the GFA Invitational on Saturday.
The GFA sailing team placed ninth out of 15 teams at the O'Day Qualifier in Greenwich on Saturday.

17 May 2018 25 May 2018 -, Belgium, Spain Leave a comment BelgiumCatalan IndependenceEuropean Arrest WarrantSpain
Extradition of Catalan Separatists from Brussels.
Yesterday, a court in Brussels ruled that the Catalan Separatists: Toni Comín, Meritxell Serret and Lluis Puig should not be extradited to Spain. The decision from the Belgian Court marks another obstacle on the Spanish authorities' course to extradite those who were involved in the Catalan independence vote last year. Comín, Serret and Puig are facing charges of misuse of public funds and rebellion. The decision not to extradite the Catalan Regional counsellors is significant because the judgment included a decision that the European Arrest Warrants issued, rescinded then reissued by the Spanish authorities for the arrests of the three councillors were not valid because they were not supported by corresponding new, domestic, Spanish arrest warrants.

James Acourt has accepted extradition from Spain to the UK pursuant to a European Arrest Warrant. The former suspect in the Stephen Lawrence murder case was arrested in Barcelona and will be extradited to the UK to face numerous high-level drugs charges.
13 March 2018 22 May 2018 European Arrest Warrant, Ireland, Poland Leave a comment CJEUECJEuropean Arrest WarrantEuropean CommissionIrelandPoland
Irish High Court halts Polish extradition request over rule of law fears and refers it to the ECJ
The Irish High Court has halted Poland's request for the extradition of Artur Celmer, a Polish citizen wanted by Poland on charges of drug-trafficking, and referred the case to the ECJ for guidance.
In her ruling, Justice Aileen Donnelly said that the rule of law in Poland "has been systematically damaged" by cumulative legislative changes and that respect for the rule of law was essential "for mutual trust in the operation of the European Arrest Warrant".
At the end of last year, the European Commission concluded that there was "a clear risk of a serious breach of the rule of law in Poland" after judicial reforms in Poland meant that, in its view, the country's judiciary was "now under the political control of the ruling majority" (EU press release here). The ruling is a significant and, arguably, unprecedented indictment by a national court of the legal system in another State, which no doubt will be used to challenge Polish EAWs in many other jurisdictions.

Fantagio Music CEO Woo Young Seung Fired + Futures Of ASTRO And Weki Meki Unclear
Fantagio Music, a subsidiary company of Fantagio Entertainment, has fired its former CEO Woo Young Seung.
On May 14, Woo Young Seung stated, "I submitted my letter of resignation and left the company today. I'm not happy that I left the artists that I've worked with since the beginning. I know that capital isn't everything, so I'm cautiously looking forward."
It was revealed that JC Group, a major shareholder of Fantagio, fired the former CEO of Fantagio Music at a Board of Directors meeting on May 11. It was also revealed that the secretary of Wei Jie, the current CEO of Fantagio Entertainment, will be taking Woo Young Seung's place.
The termination of Woo Young Seung is a continuation of the internal difficulties that Fantagio Entertainment has been facing since last year. Previously, the founder and former co-CEO of Fantagio Entertainment Na Byung Jun was dismissed by JC Group and the Chinese co-CEO Wei Jie became the sole CEO of the agency. Na Byung Jun has since created a new agency, STARDIUM, along with other former Fantagio Entertainment staff members, who were also dismissed.
With Woo Young Seung's termination, the future of artists at Fantagio Entertainment, such as Weki Meki, ASTRO, and Hello Venus, is unclear. Unlike actors who appear in dramas and films that are produced by other production companies and broadcasting stations, singers rely heavily on their agencies for producing their music. Wanna One's Ong Seong Woo will not be affected for now, as he is currently managed under YMC Entertainment.
Another complication with Woo Young Seung's dismissal is that there are no longer any agency heads or registered board members that meet the requirements of the Act on the Development of the Public Culture and Arts Industry in Fantagio Music or Fantagio Entertainment. Because of his dismissal, the agency is currently in violation of the act. The agency was previously under investigation by the Korea Entertainment Management Association (CEMA) as the company's compliance with the Act on the Development of the Public Culture and Arts Industry came into question after former CEO Na Byung Jun was fired.
Fantagio Entertainment previously called for a general meeting of shareholders on May 4 and will be holding a extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of shareholders on June 18.

Role and mechanism of action of angiopoietin-like protein ANGPTL4 in plasma lipid metabolism.
Nov 18, 2021·Journal of Lipid Research5.92
#1Sander Kersten (WUR: Wageningen University and Research Centre)H-Index: 86
Abstract null null Triglycerides are carried in the bloodstream as components of very low-density lipoproteins and chylomicrons. These circulating triglycerides are primarily hydrolyzed in muscle and adipose tissue by the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL). The activity of LPL is regulated by numerous mechanisms, including by three members of the angiopoietin-like protein family: ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL8. In this review, we discuss the recent literature concerning the role and mechanism of act... more

Testosterone is a hormone essential for male reproductive function. It is produced primarily by Leydig cells in the testicle through activation of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) and a series of steroidogenic enzymes, including a cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (CYP11A1), 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD). These steroidogenic enzymes are mainly regulated at the transcriptional level and their expression is increased by the nuclear rec... more

Last. Michael Ploug (Finsen Laboratory)H-Index: 61
Abstract null Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is essential for intravascular lipid metabolism and is of high medical relevance. Since LPL is notoriously unstable, there is an unmet need for a robust expression system producing high quantities of active and pure recombinant human LPL. We showed previously that bovine LPL purified from milk is unstable at body temperature (Tm is 34.8 °C), but in the presence of the endothelial transporter glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein–bin... more
LDL-C calculated by Friedewald, Martin-Hopkins, or NIH Equation 2 versus beta-quantification: pooled alirocumab trials.

Accurate assessment of LDL-C levels is important, as they are often used for treatment recommendations. For many years, plasma LDL-C levels were calculated using the Friedewald equation, but there are limitations to this method compared with direct measurement via beta-quantification (BQ). Here we assessed differences between the Friedewald, Martin-Hopkins, and NIH Equation 2 methods of calculating LDL-C and the "gold standard" BQ method using pooled Phase 3 data with alirocumab (a PCSK9 inhibit... more

The myelin sheath, which is wrapped around axons, is a lipid-enriched structure produced by mature oligodendrocytes. Disruption of the myelin sheath is observed in several neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. A crucial component of myelin is sphingomyelin, levels of which can be increased by ABCA8, a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter family. ABCA8 is highly expressed in the cerebellum, specifically in oligodendroglia. However, whether ABCA8 plays a role in myelination ... more
Lipoprotein size is a main determinant for the rate of hydrolysis by exogenous lipoprotein lipase in human plasma.

Abstract null null Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key player in plasma triglyceride metabolism. Consequently, LPL is regulated by several proteins during synthesis, folding, secretion, and transport to its site of action at the luminal side of capillaries, as well as during the catalytic reaction. Some proteins are well known, while others have been identified but are still not fully understood. We set out to study the effects of the natural variations in the plasma levels of all known LPL regula... more
Development of a selective fluorescence-based enzyme assay for glycerophosphodiesterase family members GDE4 and GDE7.

Last. Yasuo Okamoto (Kawasaki Medical School)H-Index: 33
Abstract null Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mediator that regulates various processes, including cell migration and cancer progression. Autotaxin (ATX) is a lysophospholipase D-type exoenzyme that produces extracellular LPA. In contrast, glycerophosphodiesterase (GDE) family members GDE4 and GDE7 are intracellular lysophospholipases D that form LPA, depending on Mg2+ and Ca2+, respectively. Since no fluorescent substrate for these GDEs has been reported, in the present study, we examine... more

Vitamin D is well known for its traditional role in bone mineral homeostasis; however, recent evidence suggests that vitamin D also plays a significant role in metabolic control. This study served to investigate putative linkages between vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and metabolic disruption of bioactive lipids by mass spectrometry imaging (MSI).

10 Things In The Harry Potter Movies That We Still Don't Understand
Esha DhawanNovember 8, 2017
Harry Potter is one of the biggest franchises in the world and has the biggest fandom across the world. The movies were great and the books magical but there are some things that cannot be overlooked. If you have watched the movies a million times like most of us then you would know how they have some plot holes here and there. So these are some more plot holes from the Harry Potter movies:
Moaning Myrtle played by a 37-year-old actress:
This might sound crazy but the girl who died in the girl's bathroom was played by a 37 year old woman. Myrtle would have been 14 or 15 when she died so they should have hired a teen to play her but instead Shirley Henderson who was 37 then played this character. We know it doesn't matter much and that the actor's ability matters but now that you know it you just can't ignore it.
What happened to Tom?
Remember Tom from the first movie who owned the Leaky Cauldron? Well he was a normal looking old guy in the first movie but when he returned in the third film as a hunchbacked creepy looking guy we were shocked. We don't care about re-casting the actor but why did he get a whole new identity? Did they forget they had already shown him in the first movie?
Harry using magic outside school:
The books and movies have made it very clear in the past how students are not allowed to use magic outside school till the age of 17. In POA however we see Harry using magic in the very first scene of the movie. He is not trying to protect himself from dementors but merely practicing a spell. This is a plot hole and should not have been there.
Professor Flitwick's makeover:
The Charms professor looked much older in the first movie with white hair and a beard but when he appeared in the third movie he had short black hair and a moustache. He became a totally different person and took more interest in being the orchestra instructor rather than teaching charms. His makeover was never even addressed. He is an important character and therefore this change couldn't be overlooked.
The missing case of Charlie Weasley:
Many storylines were cut from the movies due to obvious reasons and many characters too. One such character is of course Charlie Weasley, the second eldest Weasley son who existed only in our imagination. He was mentioned a few times in the movies but we would have loved to see him at least in the last film fighting alongside his family. Justice for Charlie!
Lily Potter's eyes:
We have heard a million times that Harry has his mother's green eyes right? Daniel Radcliffe has blue eyes and because he had some issues wearing colored contacts they didn't make his eyes green fair enough. They also hired a blue-eyed actress to play the adult Lily and all was still fine. In the last movie, however, we see the younger version of Lily and she has brown eyes! It felt like the makers didn't care anymore.
Mystery of the magic mirror:
Some plot holes in the movies are based on the fact that all the books had not been written by JKR yet and even though she told about all the big plot points to the directors there were things even she might not have decided would become important later. For example the mirror that saves Harry and friends in the last two movies was given to him in the fifth book by Sirius but this was never shown in the movie. In the last two movies however it magically shows up because now it was important.
Pettigrew and the Marauder's map:
This has probably been the biggest plot hole and has been discussed multiple times on all platforms. So why did Pettigrew not appear on the map every time the Weasley twins looked at it? If we say that wizards cannot appear on the map in their animagus form then it is a good explanation but the only problem is that in the movie when Harry followed Pettigrew in the corridor at night he was in his animagus form and Harry could see him on the map.
Neville's Parents:
If you have never read the books and have only watched the movies you might have been under the impression that Neville's parents were dead but that is wrong. The fifth book shows us the whole picture and we get to know that Frank and Alice Longbottom were very much alive. However they had become mentally unstable after being tortured and didn't remember anything, not even their son. Neville used to visit his parents at the St. Mungo's hospital and the whole scene was heartbreaking but it was important to understand Neville's struggle.
Why didn't Harry mend his own wand?
In the end of the last movie Harry breaks the Elder wand and throws the pieces away but remember his own wand was broken? When Harry and Hermione escaped from Godric's Hollow Harry's wand broke because of a rebounded spell. In the book Harry mends his own wand and then puts the Elder wand where it should be (in Dumbledore's grave). Breaking the wand was a stupid move and probably one of the biggest plot holes in the movie.

Q: controller.setview is not a function error I have recently migrated my ExtJS4.2 application to ExtJS5.1.
I have followed these steps to migrate:  1) Created new application with ExtJS5.1 gpl version using ExtJS Sencha Cmd6.0.
2) Copied the app\model,app\controller,app\store to 5.1 application
3) Copied Persons.js view file to ExtJS5.1\app\view\main folder and added it  as xtype in Main.js
4) When i run the application, i could see error:
Uncaught TypeError: controller.setView is not a function
It is happening in applyController function of ext-all-rtl-debug.js
Can anyone help me to resolve this?
Thanks in advance....

A: I have created a view but did not create view model and view controller for it. Due to that i got the error. Once i created view model the problem got resolved. This is the new change from ExtJS4 to ExtJS5.  When we create a view we need to create ViewModel for it.

A: Had the same issue, because I was stupid enough to extend from Ext.app.Controller instead of Ext.app.ViewController in which case you have the same issue.....

JEFFREY LONG PAINTINGS 1970-2020
With an interview with the artist, essays by Robert Atkins, Kenneth Brower, David Maxim, and a poem by Michael Joseph Arcangelini, with an introduction by Robert Atkins.
This book presents the multi-directional scope of paintings, drawings, watercolors and collages of this significant California artist. Viewers of this volume can study the array of artworks, both abstract and representational, which characterize the artist's ever-moving quest over five decades.
Essays by an art critic, an environmental activist, and a fellow painter are written in clear, everyday language and are followed by 360 images arranged by decade with accompanying commentary. Sketchbook pages and anthropomorphic figures of the 1970s are followed by the woodblock-like gouaches and powerful totemic landscapes of the 1980s. In the 1990s works of layered abstraction include elegiac references and oblique narratives on the subjects of AIDS, biology, place, and environmental degradation. In the 2000s elements of mid Twentieth Century design combine with tribal motifs and quotations from earlier Modernist painters. In the 2010s Long returns to representational painting, his subjects ranging from the human figure, through birds and landscape to architecture.
Visually disparate as the artist's work appears, the viewed will discover the underlying leitmotif, a connectedness to nature and to design fundamentals. Long sifts through the detritus of cultures to uncover unexpected connections in the ways we apprehend the world around us
