Ralph Bown, IRE President, 1927, focused on improving long-distance communication, and he led the press conference that announced the invention of the transistor.
Ralph Bown was born in Fairport, NY in 1891. He received an M.E., M.M.E., and Ph.D., degrees from Cornell University, where he also taught in the physics department. He then served as a captain in the Signal Corps in World War I. In 1919, he joined the development and research department of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. With that department, he went to the Bell Laboratories in 1934.
Much of Dr. Bown's work was concerned with various aspects of radio broadcasting and ship-to-shore and overseas telephony. His efforts to improve long-distance communication resulted in many communications patents. As Bell research director in 1948, Dr. Bown led the press conference that announced the invention of the transistor. Bown's service to the company was recognized by his being made of vice president of Bell Telephone Laboratories before his 1956 retirement.
Bown also used his talents to assist the military. He was a division member and consultant of the National Defense Research Committee, specializing in radar, and in 1941 visited England to study radar operations under combat conditions. He also served as an expert consultant to the Secretary of War.
Dr. Bown was internationally recognized for his pioneering research and development work in the field of communications engineering. He received the IRE Morris Liebmann Memorial Prize in 1926, and served as President of the Institute in 1927. In 1949, he received the IRE Medal of Honor, "for his extensive contributions to the field of radio and for his leadership in Institute affairs."
Dr. Bown was married and he and his wife, Alma, had two sons and nine grandchildren. Bown died on 29 July 1971, at the age of 80.

Pietro Ferraris (; 15 February 1912 – 11 October 1991) was an Italian footballer who played as a forward. Throughout his career, he won 6 Serie A titles with Ambrosiana-Inter and Torino, and the 1938 FIFA World Cup with the Italy national football team, where he scored Italy's fastest ever World Cup goal.

Club career
Ferraris was born in Vercelli, Piedmont. He was also known as "Ferraris II", to distinguish him from Mario Ferraris I.

He made his club debut with Pro Vercelli (1929–32) on 10 November 1929, in a 3–1 away loss to Triestina, and scored his first Serie A goal on 13 April 1930, in a 6–0 home win over Triestina, once again. He spent most of his career playing for Ambrosiana-Inter (1936–41), alongside Giuseppe Meazza, and later Torino (1941–48), becoming a member of Ferruccio Novo's Grande Torino side; he also played for Napoli (1932–36), and Novara (1948–50), before retiring. In total, he scored 123 goals in 469 appearances in Serie A. In total, he won 6 Serie A titles: 2 with Inter, in 1937–38 and 1939–40, and 4 with Torino, in 1942–43, 1945–46, 1946–47, and 1947–48; he also won two Coppa Italia titles: 1 with Inter, in 1938–39, and 1 with Torino, in 1942–43.

International career
At international level, Ferraris made 14 appearances for Italy between 1935 and 1947, scoring 3 goals. He made his international debut on 17 February 1935, in a 2–1 home win over France, and he later represented Italy at the 1938 FIFA World Cup, as the Italians went on to win the tournament. He scored his first goal for Italy, and his only goal of the tournament, in the second minute of their first round match of the World Cup against Norway, on 5 June, which ended in a 2–1 win; along with Bruno Mora's goal against Switzerland in the 1962 FIFA World Cup, this is Italy's fastest ever World Cup goal.

Style of play
Capable of playing both as a striker or as a winger, Ferraris was a quick, efficient, intuitive, and intelligent player, with excellent technical skills, creativity, and an eye for goal. He was an accurate striker of the ball from close or mid range, and was also known for his positional sense, distribution, work-rate, professionalism, and longevity throughout his career.

To examine the impact of different endotracheal tube (ETT) suction techniques on regional end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and tidal volume (V(T)) in an animal model of surfactant-deficient lung injury.Six 2-week old piglets were intubated (4.0 mm ETT), muscle-relaxed and ventilated, and lung injury was induced with repeated saline lavage. In each animal, open suction (OS) and two methods of closed suction (CS) were performed in random order using both 5 and 8 French gauge (FG) catheters. The pre-suction volume state of the lung was standardised on the inflation limb of the pressure-volume relationship. Regional EELV and V(T) expressed as a proportion of the impedance change at vital capacity (%Z (VCroi)) within the anterior and posterior halves of the chest were measured during and for 60 s after suction using electrical impedance tomography.During suction, 5 FG CS resulted in preservation of EELV in the anterior (non-dependent) and posterior (dependent) lung compared to the other permutations, but these only reached significance in the anterior regions (p < 0.001 repeated-measures ANOVA). V(T) within the anterior, but not posterior lung was significantly greater during 5FG CS compared to 8 FG CS; the mean difference was 15.1 [95% CI 5.1, 25.1]%Z (VCroi). Neither catheter size nor suction technique influenced post-suction regional EELV or V(T) compared to pre-suction values (repeated-measures ANOVA).ETT suction causes transient loss of EELV and V(T) throughout the lung. Catheter size exerts a greater influence than suction method, with CS only protecting against derecruitment when a small catheter is used, especially in the non-dependent lung.


Telemarketer: Hello, I'm calling from Company X which sells Y.
Call Recipient A: Sorry, I'm not interested.
EDIT in response to comments: Would the answer be different if the telemarketer didn't say "which sells Y" but the call recipient already knew?
It seems clear that Call Recipient B's request should be legally effective and that the company should be legally required to stop calling. However, is Call Recipient A's request enough?
If Call Recipient A complained that s/he had clearly expressed s/he was not interested (by the line above) and the company kept calling, would that complaint be sustained? (Assume for this question that the facts are undisputed.) If not, what is the minimum a person must say or wait for in order for a request like B's to be legally effective both in stopping further calls just like that, from that caller or other telemarketers working for the same seller?

Having emotional stress can be debilitating to your life and daily functioning. Having the feeling of constantly being overwhelmed, strained and upset, is common for many. At our clinic we can provide the tools to combat these feelings. Finding the root or cause of this added emotional stress will allow the unfolding of emotions and ill-feelings to be peeled away. Kinesiology is used for this, and you will be amazed at how "clear" and "light" you feel after releasing much of what has been burdening you.The use of Emotional Stress Relief (ESR) technique is both a very simple and very powerful way to help you feel calm, think clearly and function effectively during times of stress, trauma, overload, accident, pressure from work or relationships, etc. In times of stress we may react with a "fight or flight" or paralysis response. These are usually instinctive or learned behaviors which at some point were effective, but which may not be the most appropriate now. These include uncontrolled anger, fear or reactions based on past experiences which release hormones that change us physically and make us feel stressed. Using ESR we can "unlock" from these reactive reflexes and more easily choose our response based on what we feel is most appropriate and empowering, as the reactive pattern is unfolding.
When you are at home or work and you are feeling under stress, apply the following technique to aid a change of thought and mood.
Lightly touch the frontal eminences of the forehead with your fingertips (you can also use the whole hand across the forehead). Wait until you feel or sense a light vibration or pulse. The light touch on this reflex point brings increased blood flow to the area and has a harmonizing effect on the energy of the forebrain where new options and ideas are processed. It is here that the brain can be creative and think of new solutions without old emotion being involved. Often a change in mood can be felt in as little as thirty seconds. This is effective both when someone does this for you or when you do it for yourself.
You may very well have instinctively done this in times of stress and may recognize this as a response to stress in others.
If possible, it is best to find a place to do ESR where you feel safe and can relax. This will support the positive results taking effect. ESR can be used to deal with stress associated with Past Trauma and Future Performance as well as stress related to present issues.


Ashley Darby definitely stands out among the ladies on Real Housewives of Potomac. It's very obvious to anyone with eyes, that she is significantly younger than the rest of the cast. Plus, she wasn't even in the first episode, which indicates that Ashley was not always ingrained in this social circle. Even though this show is just in its first season, Ashley is already being hazed like the "new girl." Another interesting thing about Ashley, which has also come up on the show, is the age difference in her marriage. Ashley and her husband Michael Darby are 29 years apart. But don't judge a book by its cover or come to some outlandish assumptions when it comes to Mr. and Mrs. Darby. They are actually a super cute couple and there are Instagram photos of Ashley and Michael Darby to prove it.
RHOP is only just beginning, but it's pretty clear that Ashley is mature enough to hold her own among the more tenured crew. I mean, her Real Housewives tagline is "Throw this spring chicken into the cougars den and let the games begin" — she's ready! So, let's take a step back from the salacious discussion about the age difference and check out some photos of the cute couple.
The Darbys looked happy to spend time with Katie Rost and her boyfriend Andrew Martin.
Ashley and her husband posting on the red carpet for the RHOP premiere party.
Michael Darby has no problem keeping up with Ashley when it comes to taking shots. How old is he again?
You can really feel the love in this photo of the newly married couple.
Michael and Ashley definitely enjoyed their first kiss as husband and wife.
The happy couple was all smiles during a dinner date together.
Ashley and Mickey looked like they were enjoying their time together in his native country of Australia.
The Darby's were proud to open their restaurant in Arlington. I wonder if this was the one where had the whiskey tasting for on the show.
Ashley and her husband matched their outfits pretty perfectly. It's unclear to me if they were at a Tokyo-themed event or if they were actually in Tokyo, but they do look cute.
These two looked like kids on their way into the theme park. You can never be too old to enjoy an amusement park.
Ashley may not be from Potomac, but she knows how to dress the part. She looks like a class act in this outfit.
The duo enjoyed their time at a Washington and Seattle game. How sporty of them.
The couple looked adorable in their casual sweater outfits. They don't need red carpets and other fancy events for a photo op.
Once again, the Darbys looked super happy outside of the Sydney Opera House.
Ashley and Michael commemorated the occasion of a friends' wedding with a selfie, of course.
This is pretty cute: a warm embrace and a rainbow in the background. How picturesque.
Ashley and her husband were very couple-y working on their fitness together.
Age ain't nothing but a number for these two. They clearly have a great rapport and do a lot of fun things together, so the other women should stop judging their age gap and just support a happy relationship.


I had been craving a loaf of good, fresh, crusty vegan and gluten-free bread for a long long time. Many gluten-free bakeries cater to vegans with cupcakes and other sweet goods. But the one area where they almost consistently fall short is in the bread department. Finding a loaf that doesn't have eggs or dairy has been a mission of mine for some time. So when I stumbled across Ella's Bellas and learned that they were mostly vegan as well as gluten-free I had to check it out.


NEWPORT, AR (KAIT) – More remote areas around Arkansas have experienced a shortage of nurses, so a group of community colleges has joined together to address the need.
Eight two-year colleges created the Arkansas Rural Nursing Education Consortium, or ARNEC, in 2007. The Arkansas State University campus in Newport is part of this cooperative effort to create more Registered Nurses, or RNs, in rural areas. The students are approaching their nursing education in a novel way.
Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, Smith spends five hours in a classroom at ASU-Newport.
"You can study and be a good nurse and pass your test, but you can also be a good mom and be a good wife," Smith said about balancing her priorities.
The classes stretch from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. two days a week, and she attends clinical rotations on the weekends. Her classes, however, are often led from a screen, as her teacher broadcasts live from one of the ARNEC sites.
"If we ask a question – they're from Ozarka which is in Melbourne, the teacher if she's lecturing from there – the camera will come to ASU-Newport," Smith said.
More than 200 students watch the interactive lectures at one time, taking notes and responding to questions through a complex video conferencing system. Each student entered the program to prepare for the RN licensing exam, the NCLEX-RN.
Cowell is director of nursing at ASU-Newport. He is also a program chair for ARNEC, which began in 2007 to meet a growing demand for RNs in the state's rural areas.
"They attend classes twice a week in the evenings, and they generally do one day a week clinical rotations on the weekend," Cowell added about the program's flexibility.
The Eighth Annual ThinkNurse Expo is Saturday, April 30th from 9 a.m. till 1 p.m. at the Metroplex Event Center.
The center located near I-430 and Colonel Glenn in Little Rock.
It's the annual gathering of healthcare recruiters and educators brought to you by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing and Publishing Concepts, Inc., publisher of the ASBN Update magazine.
Arkansas is near the bottom compared to other states when it comes to access to healthcare, insurance coverage and disease treatment.
That is the result of a new study by a private research group, Commonwealth Fund, that's making the case that states with health care reform are doing better to provide care and limit costs. It is one of the many studies and surveys supporters of health reform are using to make their case. Some nurses are joining the debate.
UAMS' Claudia Beverly, Ph.D., R.N., will direct the statewide geriatric nursing effort.

Officials: Parents in Toddler Death Have History of Neglect
VERMILION, Ohio -- The investigation continues after a little boy died from malnutrition at his Risden Road home.
On Tuesday, the Erie County Prosecutor's Office was still determining whether criminal charges would be filed following the death of the 18-month-old boy. Pending the outcome of the investigation, FOX 8 News is not identifying the family.
According to the incident report, the child's mother called 911 after a sibling discovered the unresponsive baby in a bedroom around 7 p.m. last Tuesday. The boy was declared dead shortly after paramedics arrived at the scene.
"When the ambulance got there, the father met the ambulance near the road and it was determined at that point that the child was not breathing and appeared to be deceased," said Sheriff Paul Sigsworth.
"The child appeared to be malnourished, the parents indicate there are a number of medical issues relating to this child but we also have the issue of the malnourishment, so the entire situation surrounding the death of that child is still under investigation," said Sigsworth.
"They can't even take the time to feed their children? The baby would die of something like that? That's sad," said Carolyn Campbell, a Sandusky resident.
According to authorities, six other children were living in the home. Some of the siblings were grossly underweight and only ate with the help of feeding tubes. According to the report from the Erie County Sheriff, "There were various medical and baby supplies, along with an IV pole consisting of two electronic pumps. There was an empty IV solution bag hanging on the pole, with a tube running from the bag to a GRACO crib bed. There was an extraordinary amount of medical supplies about the room."
"They're not really saying anything, other than the fact that all of these children had medical issues, now our investigation relates to - if indeed they did have medical issues and what those issues were and are they treatable," said Chief Deputy Jared Oliver.
FOX 8 News has uncovered new information about the family and their past with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services in both Erie and Cuyahoga County. According to officials in Cleveland, the family had two referrals for neglect, one in 2005 and a second in 2007. The county received an order for protective supervision to monitor the family, but they moved to Erie County in 2008.
According to Erie County DJFS officials, the parents were initially involved with the county after they were referred by Cuyahoga County. But following a home visit in 2008, a Juvenile Court Judge ruled in 2009 that help was no longer needed.
"My first thoughts were with those poor children and the situations that they were in and the problems I'm sure they had for many, many years," said Erie County Commissioner Bill Monaghan. According to Monaghan, the Erie County Department of Job and Family Services has had three different directors in his six years on the job.
"Somewhere down the line here, it looks like the ball was dropped but who's ball it was, whether it was Cuyahoga County or whether it was Erie County," said Monaghan.
Officials in Columbus said they're waiting for the results of the criminal investigation before deciding whether they need to investigate whether proper procedure was followed at the local level.
"I couldn't believe it because I have two boys of my own," said Michelle Harris, who lives in Sandusky. "I just couldn't imagine not feeding my kids, you know? How can anybody do that?"
The child's funeral was held on Monday. Four of the other children are still hospitalized and being treated for malnourishment. Two are now in foster care.
FOX 8's Mark Zinni did speak with the father who had no comment. He directed all calls to a family attorney.

Mississippi town to honor the 'Man in Black'
More than 40 years after the late singer Johnny Cash was arrested in Starkville, residents of the east Mississippi town plan a festival in his honor that will include a ceremonial pardoning for the "Man in Black."
The Johnny Cash Flower Pickin' Festival is scheduled for Nov. 2-4 with some events on the campus of Mississippi State University, and will honor the late country legend.AP file

The Johnny Cash Flower Pickin' Festival is scheduled for Nov. 2-4 with some events on the campus of Mississippi State University, said Robbie Ward, executive director of the festival.
Ward, a research writer at MSU, started talking to residents two years ago about a festival — and a pardon for Cash. He gathered 500 signatures on a petition and headed up a committee of 25 residents, including a local pastor, alderman and a bar owner.
"A lot of people would laugh at me and act like I was kind of crazy," Ward said.
But on Aug. 7 the Starkville Board of Aldermen approved the closing of downtown city streets for pedestrian traffic during the festival. The board also agreed to serve as an in-kind sponsor of the festival, meaning the city will donate fire, police, electric and sanitation services for the festival, Ward said.
In an Aug. 21 meeting the Board of Aldermen authorized Starkville Municipal Court Judge William Eshee to review the symbolic, posthumous pardon of Cash. Eshee promised a fair and impartial review of the pardon, Ward said.
"I think it would be fun to have John honored even though it started out as kind of a negative reason," said Lou Robin, Cash's manager for 31 years, now handles business affairs for the Johnny Cash Estate. Cash died in 2003.
There are different versions of what happened the night of May 11, 1965, in Starkville.
One told by Cash himself in his autobiography is that he was arrested by police while walking from his motel to a grocery store after attending a party at a fraternity house on the Mississippi State campus.
Another version is that Cash was arrested while picking flowers in someone's yard.
Cash admitted in his book, "I was screaming, cussing and kicking at the cell door all night long until I finally broke my big toe. At 8 a.m. the next morning they let me out when they knew I was sober."
Cash wrote a song about the ordeal calling it, "Starkville City Jail," and later performed it for the inmates at San Quentin Prison.
"Starkville is now known by fans by virtue (of the song)," said Bill Miller, founder of the Web site JohnnyCash.com.
Ward said the message of the Starkville festival will focus on redemption, something he feels Cash exemplified. "We believe the pardon is not about his arrest in Starkville, it's recognizing that when people make mistakes what matters is what they learn from those mistakes," Ward said.
On Nov. 2, a community-wide social is planned with a charity auction at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house. At the university's amphitheater, there will be a showing of the Cash biopic "Walk the Line."
Ward is trying to line up those who have written books about Cash for a Nov. 3 discussion group on the Arkansas native. Later that day, plans include a ceremony at the site Cash was arrested, a downtown concert honoring Cash's music, a sermon on redemption and what Ward hopes to be a symbolic pardon by city officials issued to Cash's family.
Rev. Allison S. Parvin, associate pastor at the First United Methodist Church, will deliver the redemption sermon during the event. Cash's story "is just one of the great gospel stories of now," Parvin said.
Ward said the final event of the night would include a jam session on stage with musicians and an audience sing-along to "Starkville City Jail."
A community-wide church service is planned at the MSU amphitheater for Nov. 4 to close the festival.
Admission to the event will be free, with a suggested donation of $10 top benefit a local Boys and Girls Club and the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum.
To finance the event, the committee is selling T-shirts (black, of course), bearing the words "Pardon Me, I'm Pickin' Flowers."

If you could choose any first stage pokemon for your starter, whether you are in the games or real life, who would you choose and why?
I would choose Mareep, not just because I'm a big Ampharos fan, but the electricity that Mareep has will be useful if the power goes out at my house or for finding one of my cats who doesn't really want to come inside when it gets dark, or when a storm is coming. Would cuddling a Mareep be a good idea or not? Just curious.
SCREAMNBY has been on a historic rise. I know with his games and pace that he can beat packattack soon. The new feature we have planned will be pretty cool as well! For starter Pokémon, I think I would choose Pikachu as he is one of my favorite Pokémon (albeit an official starter Pokémon anyway). If I had to choose somebody else, I would go with Dratini or Larvitar (excluding Legendaries). Both have the potential to become really powerful Pokémon. Regarding cuddling Mareep: you'll likely be shocked as one of the Pokédex entries states that information, I believe. Unless you like pain, maybe it's not a good idea.

I'd say Zubat but bats are scary. So I think I will go for Absol. And then find a Absolite and be the toughest guy around.
Probably Snivy. I love most serpentine/draconic Pokemon.


Aiteo Group, owners of the prolific oil asset, oil mining lease (OML) 29, located in the oil rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria, Tuesday issued a strong statement in London, United Kingdom, against what it described as suggestions that a portion of the shareholding of the company that holds the asset has put it up for sale to repay a loan.
The company condemned the peddling of such information and said in the statement made available to www.businessamlive.com that it was raising the alarm against the group it described as "some fraudsters running a reports-for-cash syndicate", adding that it had earlier drawn attention to this group's nefarious activities previously.
Aiteo noted that the funding of the acquisition of OML 29 was made possible through a syndicated loan involving several Nigerian banks, adding that since the acquisition it has continued to meet its financial obligations as and when due, "like every other responsible, global conglomerate of our stature".
The statement issued reads in part: "For the avoidance of doubt, Aiteo (www.AiteoGroup.com) has neither considered, initiated, nor announced the commencement of any plans to sell off ANY of its stake in OML 29. The reasons are patently clear. First, since the takeover of the asset, we have successfully quadrupled production that it would be commercially inept to consider a disposal of any sort, now. Second, there are several legitimate entities that constitute ownership of the oil block, such that it would be practically impossible for us to unilaterally consider disposing of the asset. As such, we urge the public to summarily disregard these unsavoury and fabricated reports in their entirety.
"The claim that Bruce Burrows' recent appointment as our Chief Financial Officer is aimed at finding a buyer for part of Aiteo's assets is spurious and demonstrates that the publishers' understanding of the commercial realities in the operation of assets such as OML 29 is shallow.
"All of our stakeholders familiar with our strategic vision can attest that Aiteo continues to invest in the right people to deliver on that vision. Mr. Burrows' appointment is simply to further strengthen our financial discipline as one of the most innovative, reliable and diverse oil and gas companies operating in Nigeria today. Burrows joins a team of highly trained, experienced and world-class talent that currently guide the day to day activities of Aiteo.

Ex-officer said she was having sex while child was dying in hot patrol car
Cassie Barker left her 3-year-old daughter strapped in a car seat for four hours while Barker was with her then-supervisor at his home.

BILOXI, Miss — A former Mississippi Gulf Coast police officer told a judge Monday that she had sex with her supervisor and then fell asleep while her 3-year-old daughter was dying inside an overheated patrol car.
Cassie Barker pleaded guilty Monday to manslaughter in a plea bargain after being indicted on a second-degree murder charge. The Sun Herald reports prosecutors recommended the 29-year-old Barker spend 20 years in prison. Harrison County Circuit Judge Larry Bourgeois said he wanted more time to consider the case and would sentence the ex-Long Beach officer April 1.
Cheyenne Hyer died Sept. 30, 2016, after her mother left her strapped in a car seat for four hours while Barker was with her then-supervisor at his home. The car was running with the air conditioner turned on, but wasn't blowing cold air.
The girl was unresponsive when Barker returned. Authorities say Hyer's body temperature was 107 degrees when she arrived at a nearby hospital.
"I don't know what I could ever do to you that could be worse than what you've already experienced ... You will forever be entombed in a prison of your own mind," Bourgeois said to Barker.
Barker had been free on bail but was arrested Monday after pleading guilty.
Barker, who was working two jobs at the time, originally claimed she had been talking to Clark Ladner at his house early on a hot weekday morning when she fell asleep. Ladner and Barker were fired by the city of Long Beach within days. Ladner hasn't been criminally charged, telling officials he didn't know the girl was in the car. Reports at the time indicated Ladner told officials he had taken a sleep aid and also fallen asleep.
The mother had left her daughter alone in a car at least once before, at a store in nearby Gulfport in April 2015. Police responded and child welfare officials took temporary custody of the girl at the time. Barker was suspended from the Long Beach police for a week without pay. The girl's father, Ryan Hyer, said he was never notified of that first incident.
"Every time I close my eyes, I picture her suffering and then I picture her laying in this coffin," Ryan Hyer said Monday. "I still see her smiling and laughing in my head and I would assume that smile and laughter turned to pain and suffering in that instance."
The father is suing the Long Beach Police Department and the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services for the wrongful death of his child, saying the child welfare agency should have taken stronger action after the first incident.
"As a parent, you are supposed to protect your child, and Cheyenne is gone because her mother didn't protect her, not once but twice," Hyer said.
Barker herself was hospitalized after the girl's death for what officials described as shock. A psychological exam showed Barker suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder attributed to childhood trauma and her daughter's death. She was found competent to stand trial.

When Kapil Sharma packed up his hit show Comedy Nights With Kapil from Colors, Sony channel was quick to grab the opportunity. The channel gave him a prime-time slot and he and his team made a blockbuster comeback with The Kapil Sharma Show. And to call Kapil a Pied Piper won't be wrong. For wherever he goes, TRPs follow. Needless to say, Colors suffered a backlash, and Sony danced to the bank and TRP charts.
Now, according to a DNA report, it appears that Kapil Sharma is worth his weight in remuneration too. The paper said that Kapil demands a whopping Rs. 60-80 lakhs per episode. The captain of the ship is also the face of The Kapil Sharma Show. From scripting to production and anchoring, he is carrying the entire show on his shoulders, and with finesse too.
If you do the math, eight episodes of the show are telecast every month, bringing Kapil's pay cheque close to Rs 5 crore every month. So, the actor is paid higher than most of the young brigade of Bollywood stars. Given that the actors do a maximum of two or three films every year puts a different spin to the salary comparison.
Former Gutthi, now Doctor Mashoor Gulati, Sunil Grover gets around Rs. 10-12 lakhs per episode. Kiku Sharda, still remembered for his character of Palak on Colors, pockets Rs. 5-7 lakhs a day. Ali Asgar also receives the same amount. We can vouch that nobody could've played drag on the show – Dadi initially and now Pushpa Naani — like Ali did. Others on the show including Chandan Prabhakar, who plays Chandu (Rs. 4 lakh) and the two ladies including Sumona Chakravarti (Rs. 6-7 lakh) and Rochelle Rao (Rs. 3-4 lakh) also charge a decent amount. The major source of giggles on the show, Navjot Singh Sidhu, is paid Rs. 8-10 lakh every episode to add his signature "guru" laughter.
Recently, we heard that in order to save its plummeting weekend ratings, Colors had to re-telecast the old episodes of Comedy Nights With Kapil. Whether or not that worked for Colors is something only time will tell. But it just goes to prove what a phenomenon the show has been and how it has been instrumental in establishing the careers of all of the artists on the show.
Kapil Sharma's comedy show not just gave him the tag of the country's biggest comedian, it also made him a household name. Wherever he goes, he helped the respective channel to mint money, which continues even today despite the production cost sky-rocketing. But it was not only Kapil and the channel which reaped the benefits. The supporting cast of Kapil's show got a new lease in their careers. Actors like Sunil Grover, Ali Asgar, Kiku Sharda and Upasana Singh have been a part of the industry for years, but they got major recognition with this show. And today these actors are a happy lot. Why not? After all, they are not only loved by the entire nation, they are even calling the shots in terms of their remuneration.
After Kapil Sharma had a fallout with Colors, his team pulled off their show and moved base to rival channel Sony.
We saw how an ugly fallout between Kapil's team and Colors lead to the comedian moving out of the channel early this year. While Comedy Nights With Kapil got replaced by Comedy Night Live, the latter's new hosts Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh failed to recreate the magic of the original at the same time slot. In the war of words and TRPs, one channel's loss was other channel's gain. And we are sure, with the current ratings and profits, Sony isn't having any issues with giving these comedians the given set of money. After all, making the audience laugh requires a lot of sweat and tears behind the scenes. And these guys are doing a pretty good job!

Mountains: The origins of the Earth's mountain systems
By Graham Park
I have reviewed several of Graham Park's books he has written for Dunedin in this website (Introducing Tectonics, Rock Structures and Introducing Natural Resources) and this is yet another fine example.
Mountains: The origins of the Earth's mountain systems is written for readers with an interest in mountains and in developing their understanding of the geological processes that create them. To this end, it covers both currently active mountain systems in some detail, along with older mountain systems, including, for example, the Caledonian mountains in the UK, Scandinavia and Newfoundland. These may be categorised into three separate types of systems:
The Alpine-Himalayan ranges and circum-Pacific belts.
The mid-ocean ridges.
The older, non-active mountain belts.
We now know that all are the direct result of plate tectonics and collisions of plates at current or former plate boundaries, and many are situated in relatively well-defined, narrow belts on active plate boundaries. This underlying plate-tectonic framework is covered in sufficient detail for the reader to understand the general process giving rise to mountains. However, Park also covers the now defunct, but still fascinating historical theories of orogenesis (and the geologists associated with them), such as 'the contracting earth theory' (Archibald Geikie and others) and those involving geosynclines (for example, Johannes Umbgrove).
The book covers all the major mountain ranges, but, for me, one of the most fascinating chapters is the one on the ocean ridges. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is perhaps the most famous, being fundamental to our discovery and understanding of seafloor spreading, palaeomagnetism and plate tectonics. However, it is sobering to think that, if the world's oceans were removed, a great system of mountain ridges would be revealed, larger even than the mighty Himalayas. These include the much less well-known Carlsberg-Central Indian Ridge, and the Southwest and Southeast Indian Ridges under the Indian Ocean. There are even several under the Pacific Ocean (for example, the East Pacific Rise).
The book also contains a glossary, references and a list of further reading, for those wanting to take their understanding further. The author is Emeritus Professor of Tectonic Geology at the University of Keele.

Following the signing of memoranda of agreement between the University of Plymouth and four institutions in China last year, the first Chinese student to take advantage of one of the partnerships has arrived in Plymouth.
Yan Gao is a masters student from the School of Stomatology at Capital Medical University in Beijing, where she has studied dentistry for five years and orthodontics for one year. Yan's visit is for six months and she will be working with internationally-renowned stem cell researcher, Dr Bing Hu.
Their research project will focus on better understanding stem cells and their role in craniofacial tissue and bone regeneration – how they are activated, can prevent damage and accelerate wound healing.
There are two targets for the research: the first is to develop a way to accelerate new bone and tooth ligament formation during tooth movement due to orthodontic treatment (especially in children), to reduce the current significant length of clinical treatment and cost.
The second is to understand the mechanism of bone development deformity in children with Crouzon Syndrome (CS). CS is a rare genetic disorder where soft bones in young children's skulls fuse prematurely (usually there is flexibility to allow for the head and the structures and functions within it to grow).
Treatment of CS patients is long, painful and requires multiple plastic surgery and orthodontic operations and therapies. Targeting stem cells in the bone may hold the key to accelerated healing, reducing the painful period for the patient. Very few research groups are working in this area. The team is collaborating with Dr Pauws Erwin from the UCL Institute of Child Health for the project.
The agreement with the School of Stomatology at Capital Medical University is one of four with institutions in China. The others are with Shen Yang Hospital of Stomatology; the School of Stomatology, Shandong University, and; the Second Hospital (School of Clinical Medicine), also Shandong University.

Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter was a professional boxing welterweight championship unification match contested between IBF champion Errol Spence Jr. and WBC champion Shawn Porter. The event took place on September 28, 2019 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Spence Jr. won the fight via split decision, with two scorecards reading 116–111 for Spence Jr., and the third 115–112 for Porter.

The fight
Spence Jr. and Porter participated in a frenetic encounter from start to finish, with one CBS analyst declaring it a "fight of the year candidate". Porter started fast, sometimes overwhelming Spence Jr. in the early rounds. Spence Jr., however, began attacking Porter's body and was able to slowly gain a slight edge on the judges' scorecards. With the fight still close, Spence Jr. landed a short left hook to Porter's chin in round eleven, causing Porter's glove to touch the canvas and scoring the only knockdown of the fight. Porter remained on his feet and received an eight-count by referee Jack Reiss before resuming the contest, finishing the round, and engaging in an action-packed twelfth and final round.

In the end, Spence Jr. was given a split decision win on the official scorecards, with Filipino judge Rey Danseco and Steve Weisfeld had it 116–111 for him and Larry Hazzard Jr tallied 115–112 for Porter. Spence Jr. won Porter's WBC title and successfully defended his IBF title for the fourth time.

Television
The fight was telecast on Fox Sports pay per view in the United States, Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and via FITE TV on pay per view outside of North America.

10 Cloverfield Lane is an intense, claustrophobic, thrilling and terse film. As far as a tie in to Cloverfield, do not go into this film expecting anything to do with a giant monster taking down New York. There is no shaky cam. There are no unlikeable yuppie assholes that you spend the entire run time hoping to get eaten. Instead, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a careful and considered film. It spends time with three occupants and delves into their complex emotional states as they live and deal with what seems to be the apocalypse. These glances into their individuals realities and perceptions take place in a limited context, with a glance or with a single sentence. The opening sequence is a prime example, here we have a young woman (Michelle played by the always fantastic Mary Elizabeth Winstead) who is seen abandoning her entire life. Frantically driving away her problems, a fight with her boyfriend, she is abruptly run off the road and wakes in a bunker. All of this takes place with no words. Just accompanying our heroine as her story begins.
In the bunker we find our other two leads, Emmet-a likable slacker who helped build the bunker they are staying in-and Howard-the conspiracy theorist/survivalist who turns out to be right. Emmet is played by the always affable John Gallagher Jr, he's bearded here so you might not instantly recognize him as Jim Harper from The Newsroom, but-as Emmet- he really helps to offset the rising tension in the film and his casting was a solid choice. The real reason we are here to see this film though is John Goodman. Let's all be honest about that. We want to see him be a total psychopath and torture and maim and… except that is not what you will get here. What you will get is a brilliant performance by a brilliant actor that will always keep you guessing throughout the entire runtime of the film. Goodman (channeling Kathy Bates ala Misery) plays Howard as a lonely but convicted man, one whose beliefs and convictions lost him his family but ultimately saved his life. The film early on confirms that Goodman is not wrong, which turns him from coming off as some kind of sexual deviant who captured Michelle for his own sick perverted ends to a broken and hurt savior. The tension is palpable in almost every scene, and keeps growing and changing as the dynamic of the group grows and changes. Goodman's Howard is at the center of this tension as his need to control the situation at all times leads the group towards schism.
I won't say more about it here, as to do so will be to spoil the film. Instead I want to talk about Winstead's character Michelle and the point of the film as a whole: Growth and the confrontation of the things that hold you back. In this case, it is Michelle's self-professed need to run from her problems at all times. This desire to run is her go to at all times, she is running when she has her accident. She tries to run from Howard, several times, and ultimately her resourcefulness in running away helps her to confront and overcome disaster and certain death. We get to see that growth, which is brilliant. She goes from frantically running at the first sign of trouble to carefully considering her options and choosing to run out of necessity instead of blind panic. She is a strong, smart and likeable character and only becomes more so as the film rolls on and we get a sense of how deep and relatable her character is.
None of this character growth, nor the amazing script by Campbell, Stuecken, and Chazelle, would work if the film was not well directed. The whole thing takes place, the batshit ending aside, takes place in three rooms. Dan Trachtenberg, who made a splash with his Portal fan film a few years back, is assured and brilliant. The bunker feels like an entire world in his lens and the pacing keeps the film from ever feeling stale.
When you combine it all: the writing, the characters, the actors, and the directing, you get one of the best films to come out so far in 2016 and one that will be on a number of top ten lists at the end of the year, I imagine. 10 Cloverfield Lane is a very very very good film and absolutely worth your time.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – What should you expect in the Indianapolis Colts' preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks Thursday night?
Here's what to look for at Seattle's CenturyLink Field.
He's back: Welcome back, 12. The last time we saw Andrew Luck under center and under the gun was 585 days ago. On Jan. 1, 2017 he led a last-second comeback against the Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium. Remember his last pass? A 1-yard TD to Jack Doyle.
The ensuing 20 months have included surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, rehab, stalled rehab in mid-October when soreness and swelling sent him to the injured reserve list, a trip to the Netherlands, a trip to the West Coast to work with throwing gurus Tom House and Adam Dedeaux, more rehab, a calculated training camp regimen and, finally, Thursday night.
Luck's workload probably will range between 12 and 20 plays, maybe even a full quarter. Frank Reich and coordinator Nick Sirianni would like for him to experience a range of situations – third-and-1, third-and-long, ideally some red-zone snaps – but they will game plan accordingly with left tackle Anthony Castonzo out with a hamstring injury.
As much as Luck's done during his arduous rehab process, he's not faced live action. It's one thing going through practices wearing a red jersey in a controlled environment. It's entirely different when defenders are bearing down, and have no intention of pulling up.
Luck's initial objective is simply to return to playing the position.
"That I can go out and throw a football, hand it off and take a snap and stick to some good fundamentals and some good technique and not do anything crazy," he said.
Youth movement: Chris Ballard's 90-player camp roster resembles so many across the NFL. It's loaded with youth. The Colts are carrying 26 players who have yet to appear in a regular-season game. That includes 21 rookies and 11 draft picks.
The difference in Indy is Ballard and Reich are expecting several rookies to contribute immediately, even start. That includes Quenton Nelson, the starting left guard from day 1; Darius Leonard, a good bet to be the starting weak-side linebacker; Braden Smith, likely the top backup guard; Tyquan Lewis and Kemoko Turay, who'll be in the thick of a deep defensive line rotation; wideout Deon Cain and running backs Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins.
All were part of Ballard's humongous draft class.
One name to keep an eye on: Skai Moore. He's an undrafted rookie out of South Carolina and has gotten serious reps with the No. 1 defense with Anthony Walker dealing with a groin injury.
Keep one name in mind when watching Moore: Gary Brackett. He made the roster as an undrafted rookie out of Rutgers in 2003 and developed into a solid starter in Tony Dungy's 4-3 defense.
Moore's enthusiasm rivals his sideline-to-sideline mobility on the field.
Moore is one candidate to extend the Colts' streak of having an undrafted rookie make the opening day roster to 20.
Everything amplifies Thursday against the Seahawks when Reich discovers which players are up to the challenge, and which might shrink when things go live.
Nelson debut: Nelson hasn't disappointed during the first two weeks of camp. He's been a rock – literally – on the offensive line. Now, it's game day. Moving forward, Nelson will have to meet the lofty standard of being the 6th overall pick in the draft.
"We all know – everyone in the world seems to know – that he was a great pick and a sure-fire great player in this league," Reich said. "Well, I mean I believe that's all true, but I don't care. You've got to go out and prove it. He's got to go out and prove it.
Backup plan(s): T.Y. Hilton and Ryan Grant have established themselves as the top two wideouts. That according to Reich and Sirianni. Then what? Chester Rogers has had his moments in camp, but he's done little to cement the No. 2 spot. Cain has had more "Aha!" moments than anyone not named T.Y. Hilton, but he's a rookie.
It's time for some clarity on the depth chart behind Hilton and Grant. A sleeper might be K.J. Brent, who turned some heads when he beat Quincy Wilson on a deep post and hauled in a 40-ish-yard TD pass from Luck.
Speaking of backups and rotations, how will position coach Tom Rathman dole out playing time with his running backs? Marlon Mack is the listed starter ahead of Robert Turbin, and each is immersed in a strong camp. Remember, though, Turbin will miss the first four games of the season while serving a suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy.
We won't be surprised if Hines and Wilkins are given heavy workloads. The coaching staff is trying to find multiple ways of utilizing Hines' speed and big-play talents, and the 6-1, 216-pound Wilkins is emerging as a power presence in the backfield.

Electric Bikes Proposal For Indian Market Has Challenges, Say Observers
Niti Aayog, the Indian authorities' assume-tank has reportedly proposed electrifying maximum bikes and scooters in the next six to 8 years to minimize pollutants and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Many main two-wheeler manufacturers are recognized to be pursuing the development and production of the next generation of electrical -wheelers, but it seems to be early days but on how producers will definitely rapid song the improvement of an entire environment, which includes charging infrastructure and delivery chain. Most main two-wheeler manufacturers Car and bike reached out to, declined to touch upon the coverage though, deciding on to look if real policy selections are taken around it. But there is no denying that the future of the 2-wheeler enterprise could be steadily heading toward electrification from the modern internal combustion engines.
If the suggestion turns out to be coverage, the most affected can be the huge volumes leaders who currently don't have an unmarried electric powered -wheeler product or electric powered motorcycle which is manufacturing equipped. Hero MotoCorp offered over 78 lakh -wheeler in 2018-19, whilst Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) bought greater than 55 lakh two-wheelers. Bajaj Auto, India's biggest exporter of bikes, also offered greater than 50 lakh – and 3-wheelers in 2018-19. TVS Motor Company sold nearly 38 lakh -wheelers in 2018-19, and despite the fact that the corporation is pursuing an electric -wheeler program, it is nonetheless not clean while the primary electric TVs could be manufacturing geared up.
When contacted, HMSI declined to remark, announcing that it's nevertheless a draft concept and that the organization will remark while real coverage is introduced. TVS Motor Company too declined to comment, and a spokesperson for Bajaj Auto became unavailable to respond to queries. Market chief Hero MotoCorp said that new merchandise with electric generation is currently under development, but there still continue to be challenged in charging infrastructure, as well as patron popularity of that merchandise, that allows you to come with delivered expenses.
"Hero MotoCorp and the entire car industry within the united states of america are currently focussed on transitioning to BSVI emission norms by using April 2020, putting India at the leading edge of clean emissions, even earlier than the implementation of EuroV norms. At equal time, Hero MotoCorp is constantly engaged in developing progressive and advanced technologies for future mobility, including electric motors (EV). The ongoing work on EVs at our global-elegance R&D facility – the Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) – and the strategic funding in Ather Energy bear testimony to our dedication to electric powered mobility. The scale and timing of adoption of EVs could rely upon a couple of elements which includes national public infrastructure for easy and handy charging, mass client acceptance of merchandise and cost implications," a spokesperson for the sector's biggest -wheeler manufacturer by quantity, told Car and bike.
India is the arena's biggest two-wheeler market, and inside the financial yr 2018-19, as many as 2.1 crore bikes and scooters were sold up to March 2019. There has been a gradual advent of electric -wheelers and electric motorcycles within the USA, but electric powered scooters accounted for simplest 1.26 lakh gadgets within the past three hundred and sixty-five days, although electric powered scooter income has doubled in just over a 12 months, from just fifty-four,800 a 12 months in the past. But to date, the electric two-wheeler space has handiest visible smaller and area of interest gamers, as opposed to mainstream -wheeler manufacturers. New entrants like Ather Energy are a long way beforehand in the sport, with superior technology like cloud-related diagnostic gear, and cellphone connectivity, within the company's two electric powered scooter products. And Ather also has a devoted in-house charging network, called the Ather Grid, which is likewise presented in towns wherein the employer operates in.
"The policy is in the proper course, pushing the industry toward electrification, and for purifier era. But there are still gaps within the delivery chain for nearby functionality to broaden. Some of the new entrants within the electric car space are from the unorganized quarter. The coverage with related incentives to positive degrees of localization of generation and delivery chain is ideal from a neighborhood angle, " says Rakesh Batra, Partner and Sector Leader (Automotive), Ernst and Young.
"But the important thing difficulty can also be the value component, that is linked to the delivery chain and localization of that delivery chain. Whatever merchandise is being supplied nowadays, are not in reality fee powerful, from a patron factor of view. And then if you have a look at the delivery aspect, there are constrained products to satisfy the market call for.
Manufacturers will need to allocate resources and cognizance on accelerated product improvement, and this means extraordinary merchandise for specific segments, and also explore all options, such as alliances to share fees of development. Today, China is perhaps the maximum superior electric powered two-wheeler market, from a generation, scale and volumes angle. That makes China a prime candidate for Indian producers to emulate," added Batra.

I have (still) the problem, that I can't see the pattern (no tracks/instruments, no sequence, no pattern contents) of some downloaded songs and can't hear sound.
After loading a bmx file by double-clicking in the windows file explorer, I have a lot of missing machines in the machines view (s. picture, only the 11-parrot wansn't really there). Usually I saved and reloaded the bmx via the recent file list of buzz, and they are shown. Now I discovered today with a downloaded song from thOke (https://www.buzztunes.org/music/thoke/buzzboards thanx ! s. below) that the patterns are visible when the machines are missing.
After saving the song and reloading the song, the machines are there - but the patterns are gone !
So either the patterns or machines are missing.
reinstalled the MS visual c++ 2015, instead of the 2017, checked the visual c++ versions, correct.
tried different installations of the patternxp, with no substitution, substitution of the delivered pxp and parallel installation of both.
Deactivated UAC. Full Admin rights.
Copied msvcr70.dll and msvcr71.dll in Buzz root.
I use Win10x64 pro, 1809.
Thanx for replies and hints.
Last edited by HerrFornit on Fri Feb 15, 2019 12:11 pm, edited 8 times in total.
The missing machines in the picture are from the "more machines" directory, as I can see.
So in part a problem of machine incompatibility? Do I have to adjust the gear.xml?
Hmmmm... my guess is, that you somehow mixed up the effects and generators in your gear directory.
In your "missing machines" screenshot, some machines are connected to the master, that actually should be assigned to a machine, not connected to anything (LD auxsend, PeerChord, Split).
PeerScale on the other isn't, so that might be in the correct folder.
Thanx thOke, you did a good analysis!
Except the mixIO machine, I copied all your machines into my directories. Some machines look really different. It's a big mess with buzz machines and different versions (!?).
And does it play now?!
but that doesn't have an impact on functionality. You can replace them with the originals, if you don't want those skins.
But it is very important, that they are placed in the correct folders (effect or generator), and that they are not present in both!
Aah, yes sorry. It' s playing. Sounds good! Does this mean that the machines are not present in both directories? I didn't compare it in detail because it works.
I will check it out these days more profoundly. Unfortunaltely my speakers are not present in the moment.
ok. I compared my effect vs generators directories in the buzz installation folder. I killed 2 .fixed dll and renamed the fixed to .dll. (inp and 2ndLoopjumphack).
But, in the "more machines" folder (documents\buzz\generators) I found at once the 2ndLoopJumpHack, too. Didn't check the rest yet.
OK, I renamed for test purposes this folder to buzz_ and your "ProgBluesImprovMagic.bmx" played sound and the 2 patterns are still there after save and reload. Of course,a lot of missing machines, because the folder is renamed.
So my thesis is that this "more machines" folder is a problem, by doubled generators in comparison to the installation folder machines.
Isn't it possible to copy/move the "more machines" folder in documents\buzz to the installation folder? and skip all doubles, so only one installation location is used and less confusion occurrs?
Yes, that might be a problem. I don't have this "more machines" folder. All machines are in Buzz/Gear/Effects(or)Generators.
thanks. Ok, I did it.
works better now, but still machines are missed.
In the earlier days there have been machine packs. Can you download a pack anywhere?
Restored the directories without the"more machines".
copied step by step missing machines.
Now your blues impro works ! Fine - got a better idea for IXix's Magix machine now. "Randomly" played set or so. Great!
Do not install the "more machines", rather download and move them to an other location on your drive. Install machines only if needed and copy them to the installation gear directories. Get the needed machines out of the big machines depot, made out of the "more machines" and downloads .
Great. I can finally listen first time "live" to already downloaded songs: magmavanders "trackers delight" and hamsters "SupperRiff" song !
did you try building up the machines step by step. Let's say starting with a problematic song, installing only the needed machines/plugins ?


Cells need to make appropriate responses to complex signals. One way in which they accomplish this task is by constructing large complexes of macromolecules, bringing together various sensors and effectors that facilitate the integration of input and output. Proteins are often brought into these macromolecular complexes by small modules that have specialized binding properties. The process of evolution can move these modules to different proteins, thereby conferring the distinctive binding properties of the module to new proteins. One particularly versatile protein module is called a SAM domain. SAM domains can associate into long strings containing many SAM domains or into small clusters of only a few SAM domains; they can bind to many different proteins, and they can also bind to RNA. It seems likely that some SAM domains could also provide functions that we do not yet know about. Efforts to learn about these additional functions continue. Ultimately, we would like to know how to predict the function of any SAM domain.

Arizona Law Bans Ethnic Studies Programs | EJI, A History of Racial Justice
The African slave who taught America how to vaccinate itself from smallpox | Quartz
On May 11, 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law HB 2281, a legislative act designed to end Ethnic Studies classes in the state. This came just weeks after Brewer signed SB 1070, Arizona's controversial immigration law that was then among the nation's strictest, and which opponents criticized as encouraging racial profiling.
Though less publicized, HB2281 also had far-reaching consequences for people of color in Arizona and any students interested in studying their history. The law banned all classes alleged to "promote the overthrow of the United States government" or "promote resentment toward a race or class of people" and classes "designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group" which "advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals." In January 2012, after the state superintendent's office threatened to withhold ten percent of the district's annual funding, the Tucson School District voted to cut the Mexican American Studies program in compliance with the new law.

The shocking turnaround of HIV/AIDS
The HIV/AIDS turnaround as been nothing short of stunning.
It's one of the most deadly viruses known to man — but in recent years, it has made an amazing about-face that is unprecedented in the medical community.
Authorities first discovered the virus that causes AIDS just 34 years ago, and since then it has affected hundreds of millions of people — and on World AIDS Day, it's a good chance to reflect on how amazingly far we've come in such a short time, according to an ABC News report.
The first known report on AIDS was published back in 1981 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after examining the cases of five men who had come down with an aggressive form of pneumonia that resulted in the deaths of two of them. Since their discovery, a total of 36.9 million people are believed to live with AIDS worldwide, with 1.2 million in the United States.
There are prominent figures today who live with HIV today and appear to have it under control, like former basketball great Magic Johnson. Public figures like him are beginning to reduce the stigma against people who have the disease, which was referred to as the "gay plague" back when it was discovered but now affects many people beyond the gay community.
HIV drugs have made incredible progress since the discovery of the disease, but people shouldn't underestimate how deadly the virus remains. The CDC estimates it killed 13,712 people in 2012, and it remains a silent epidemic. Far from being eliminated, the disease continues to thrive, and there is still a long way to go before we can declare victory against it.
The problem is a lot of people don't even realize they have the disease, with an estimated one in eight being unaware of their infection. Data indicates that since the 1980s, that percentage has been dropping, however.
And deaths from HIV have dropped significantly since peaking in 1995. The age-adjusted death rate from HIV has plummeted by a stunning 85 percent since then, peaking at close to 40 percent in 1995 and now sitting at less than 5 percent today.
In addition, new HIV infections have been declining, which they have been doing every year sine the mid 1990s, which further resulted in deaths related to AIDS beginning to decrease in the mid 2000s.

Q: Pivotal GemFire 9.3.0: Spring Data GemFire XML config in GemFire cluster I am migrating my GemFire cluster from 8.2.7 (with Spring Data GemFire 1.6.0.RELEASE) to Pivotal GemFire 9.3.0 (SDG 2.0.7.RELEASE).

A: Pivotal GemFire stopped shipping with Spring Data GemFire in the $GEMFIRE_HOME/lib directory as of the 9.x release series.  There are 2 primary reasons for this.
1) First, it was somewhat of a conundrum that Pivotal GemFire depended on SDG, which was entirely for gfsh>start server --name=SpringConfiguredServer --spring-xml-location-/path/to/spring/context.xml, when SDG depended on Pivotal GemFire, which clearly forms a circular dependency.
2) Pivotal GemFire lags significantly behind the current state of the Spring ecosystem when it pertains to versions.  Even the latest release, 9.3.0, ships with outdated Spring JARs, e.g. core Spring Framework 4.3.13.RELEASE, when core Spring Framework 4.3.17.RELEASE is already available as well as 5.0.6.RELEASE, with 5.1 on the horizon.
Having said that, it is still possible to configure and bootstrap your Pivotal GemFire Servers with Spring when started from Gfsh using the start server command, --spring-xml-location option.  You simply need to download the appropriate version of SDG based on the Pivotal GemFire version you are using (e.g. (9.3.0)) and put SDG on the classpath when starting the server.

NOTE: currently, SDG 2.1.0.M3 (SD Lovelace) is the only version based on Pivotal GemFire 9.3 and later; currently set to 9.5.0.
NOTE: also not, I don't specifically recall whether I ran into any API breaking changes between upgrading SDG Lovelace progressively from Pivotal GemFire 9.3, then to 9.4 and finally arriving at 9.5.  If you have trouble with spring-data-gemfire:2.1.0.M3, you can also use spring-data-gemfire:2.1.0.M2 which was based on Pivotal GemFire 9.3 at the time.

So following the recipe above, you would do the following...
gfsh> start server --name=SpringConfiguredServer --classpath=/file/system/path/to/spring-data-gemfire22.1.0.M3.jar --spring-xml-location=/classpath/to/your/spring-context.xml

This should work!
Also, you do not need to switch schemas from "gemfire" to "geode".  When you are using Spring Data GemFire, then use the "spring-gemfire" schema.  When you are using Spring Data Geode, then use the "spring-geode" schema.  Either will probably work, but...
Hope this helps!
