Q: Android local unit test issue[JUnit 4.12] I am writing very simple local unit test to get app context and read string using that. Our intent is to unit test the API client and interface we have written to make a API call using retrofit 2x.
Have added below dependencies in build.gradle file
Build.gradle :
defaultConfig {
        applicationId "x"
        minSdkVersion 23
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 89
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

androidTestImplementation 'androidx.annotation:annotation:1.1.0'
testImplementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:mockwebserver:3.2.0'
testImplementation 'androidx.test:core:1.2.0'

Local Unit Test class :
import android.content.Context
import androidx.test.core.app.ApplicationProvider
import org.junit.Test

class ExampleAPITest {
    @Test
    fun useAppContext() {
    //  val context: Context = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().targetContext
        val context: Context = ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext<Context>()
        val appName = context.getString(R.string.app_name)
        println(appName)
    }
}

We are using Espresso for test automation. So we have both dependencies added in the gradle file.
We are getting below exceptions while running local unit test ExampleUnitTest class,

I know that we can use mockito or Robolectric to mock/access the android framework, We need only context to call the api service. Anyway we will be automating API call as part of Android Test. We need to build local test to test API calls locally.
We have written our android test using Java and local unit test using Kotlin.
Browsed for the above exception and tried different dependency versions, But nothing helps. Looks it is an android support test core library issue. Can someone help me to get rid of this issue. Thanks!

A: The @RunWith annotation appears to be missing:
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import androidx.test.ext.junit.runners.AndroidJUnit4;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
...

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
class ExampleAPITest extends TestCase {
    ...
}

And better use a stable version, consistent with the other dependencies' version numbers:

Citation: Masler, E.P., Chitwood, D.J. 2017. Evaluation of proteases and protease inhibitors in Heterodera glycines cysts obtained from laboratory and field populations. Nematology. 19(1):109-120.
Interpretive Summary: Plant-parasitic nematodes attack all crops of agricultural importance, causing over $10 billion in losses annually to U.S. farmers. Because several chemical pesticides used to control nematodes have been withdrawn from use, growers face a critical need for the discovery of environmentally and economically sound nematode control agents. One approach to discovering new means of controlling nematodes is to identify ways to inhibit their metabolism and infectivity using naturally derived compounds. We discovered that soybean cyst nematodes from both greenhouse culture and field populations contain natural enzyme inhibitors. These discoveries are significant because they reveal that nematode derived molecules have significant potential as natural suppression agents since they can target plant-parasitic nematode activities needed to survive. Consequently, this information will be used by researchers in the agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology industries who are developing safe, selective methods for nematode control.
Technical Abstract: Proteases and proteases inhibitors were evaluated in a number of preparations of Heterodera glycines cysts obtained from glasshouse cultures (GH) and field (LR) populations. Using a FRET-peptide library comprising 512 peptide substrate pools that detect 4 endoprotease types (aspartic, cysteine, metallo- and serine), we found that the relative distributions of 6 endoproteases within the 4 catalytic types were similar among GH and LR preparations. However, levels of mean protease activity (Vmax s-1 µgcyst protein-1) across all 512 pools varied nearly 8-fold (P < 0.05) among the preparations. This variation was not related to cyst source. These qualitative (type distribution) and quantitative relationships persisted when analysis was restricted to the top 40 percent (activity) pools. Analysis of the top 4 percent of substrate pools did reveal some substrate cleavage site preferences between the GH and LR proteases. GH and LR preparations also differed in digestion rates (P < 0.05) of trypsin and matrix metalloprotease (MMP) substrates, with LR rates 2-fold greater than GH rates for each protease. In contrast, inhibition of trypsin activity, measured using Meloidogyne incognita extracts, was 1.6-fold greater (P < 0.05) with GH cyst content than LR content. Inhibition of MMP activity was the same (>60%) with each preparation. Fractionation of GH and LR protease inhibitors by RP-HPLC (CH3CN/0.1% TFA system) yielded similar activity profiles. MMP inhibitors eluted at 35-40% CH3CN, and trypsin inhibitors eluted at both 5% and 35-40% CH3CN, suggesting the possibility of small molecular weight as well as peptide inhibitors. These discoveries illustrate the importance of examining H. glycines cysts as a source of materials for novel nematode controls.

Incredible video shows a steam locomotive driving off a cliff as part of Mission: Impossible 7 stunt
Sophia Ankel Aug. 22, 2021, 2:41 PM
Footage shows the moment a locomotive plunges off the edge of a cliff in the Peak District, England.
The train crash was part of a dramatic stunt for the new Mission: Impossible 7 movie.
Production on the Hollywood film is still ongoing after it had to be delayed due to COVID-19.
Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.
Incredible footage on social media shows the moment a locomotive plunged off the edge of a cliff in Derbyshire, England, as part of a stunt for the new Mission: Impossible film.
Onlookers and local photographers were left in awe as the purpose-built train steamed down a specially-made track before plunging into a deep quarry.
The scene, shot at Stoney Middleton on Friday, was part of Mission: Impossible 7, the latest movie in the popular franchise starring Tom Cruise.
United, Delta, and American Airlines need pilots so badly, they're making it easier than ever for newbies to land top flying jobs
Although Cruise was not on the train, he was spotted in a helicopter flying over the quarry. Locals also reported seeing Cruise fly the helicopter himself to set.
-Ian Gambles ⚔ (@cherrystreet71) August 21, 2021
Local photographer Villager Jim posted on social media: "Waited 5 months for this shot… of the train in the new Mission Impossible movie going off the cliff!! Tom was there too, amazing day !!!" according to the BBC.
Construction for the scene has been going on for several months. Much of the filming has also been taking place at the Warner Bros Studios in Hertfordshire.
Tom Cruise loves doing his own stunts. Paramount Pictures
Mission: Impossible 7, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic and is now released in May 2022.
Cruise is famous for doing his own wild stunts, including holding his breath underwater for six minutes, hanging off of the side of a plane, and climbing the Burj Khalifa – which is over 2,700 feet (822.96m) tall.
"I am a very physical actor and I love doing them. I study and train and take a lot of time figuring it all out. I have broken a lot of bones," Cruise said earlier this year, according to Uproxx. "The first time of any stunt is nerve-wracking, but it's also exhilarating. I have been told a few times during shooting a stunt to stop smiling."

So much of this Gulf Crisis has been so petty, so childish, so frivolous. Like little boys squabbling over toys, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been picking on Qatar for having something almost approaching an independent streak - and then roping in Egypt, the neighbourhood bully, to back them up.
Bahrain's like that scrawny kid on the block who hides behind the bigger boys while making threatening gestures with his fists, safe in the knowledge he'll never be tested alone.
Qatar began to step out of the shadow cast by its Gulf brothers and started to make a name for itself in the regional neighbourhood around the turn of the millennium, as Al Jazeera grew in influence across the Arab world. Qatar's projection of soft power slowly expanded, with the Saudis and Emiratis cautiously wary that their little brother was growing up.
Doha's coming of age, however - when its reputation first really started outgrowing the neighbourhood - began in 2010, when Qatar was awarded hosting rights for the 2022 football World Cup.
Suddenly, Qatar had burst onto the international stage. It was leaving its bigger brothers behind and blazing a trail on its own. And the rulers of Saudi Arabia and the UAE did not like that one little bit. Football's World Cup is one of the globe's biggest events.
It is a massive status symbol for a host country. It says: "We have arrived. We stand equal among the world's cultural landmarks. We are as developed, as capable - as 'civilised' - as any of the world's nations."
It also brings with it attention, both good and bad. The international press has written about workers being treated as "slaves" in Qatar. An investigation by The Guardian found that staff recruited from poor nations were suffering a raft of labour abuses in supremely opulent hotels.
The reaction from Qatar's neighbours has instead been driven by jealousy.
Obviously, to say the Gulf Crisis and blockade of Qatar is solely down to Doha's hosting of the World Cup is a massive over-simplification. But nothing else provides as clear an example of the pettiness of this conflict.
Football diplomacy has been kicking off in the Gulf in recent years, and with no shortage of foul play. The Gulf Cup, an eight-team football tournament held every two years, was due to be hosted by Kuwait in 2016, after Iraq understandably backed out of holding the competition due to its financial crisis and the Islamic State (IS) group's take-over of around a third of the country.
But then Kuwait - once upon a time the stars of Asian football - were booted out of FIFA amid allegations of government interference in the national football association.
The Gulf Cup was delayed by a year and handed to Qatar, at the half-way point of its preparations for World Cup hosting duties. Of course, by then, the Saudi-Emirati-led blockade of Qatar was in full swing.
Diplomatic relations had been severed, the Saudi-Qatar land border (through which 60 percent of Qatar's food imports had entered the country) had been sealed, regional airspace had been shut to Qatari flights. Qatar had pulled out of the coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain were withdrawn from the 2017 tournament, having failed to respond to invitations from the Doha-based organisers. World Cup administrators at FIFA were rightfully concerned about the potential impact on 2022, when millions of football fans were expected to travel from across the region to Qatar.
If the Gulf Cup fell apart, it would set a worrying precedent for the blockading countries to lead and/or enforce a boycott of the World Cup in 2022. And there is a lot of cash and pride at stake in making sure each World Cup is a huge money-spinner for organisers, sponsors and tourism facilities.
Finally, the Kuwaiti government passed a law blocking any state interference in the domestic FA. Qatar agreed to hand back hosting rights to Kuwait, the blockading countries announced their participation and everyone at FIFA breathed a sigh of relief. Qatar, incidentally, then just a few months into the reign of coach Felix Sanchez Bas, hammered Yemen 4-0, but it was to be their only victory of the tournament, which was won by Oman (who beat the UAE on penalties in the final).
Fast forward a year and a bit, and we find ourselves at the Asian Cup 2019 - the continent's premier international football tournament. The UAE was awarded hosting rights in 2015, and so the cream of Asia's footballing elite headed for Abu Dhabi. Except, of course, for the Qataris. With the full-scale economic blockade still in force, Qataris have essentially been banned from travel to the UAE.
Australia, South Korea and Japan were among the favourites to take the title, but nevertheless, the hosts outperformed expectations, winning their group to qualify for the knockout stages, where they saw off Kyrgyzstan, and, amazingly, Australia, to reach the semi-final.
Qatar, too, despite having practically no supporters in the stands, began to acquire a "dark horse" status, sweeping away Saudi Arabia (not exactly known for their footballing prowess) and demolishing North Korea to progress from the group stage. Comprehensive wins against Iraq and a South Korea featuring Tottenham superstar Son Heung-min, saw Felix Sanchez's men qualify for one of the most hotly anticipated semi-finals in Asian Cup history.
The stage was set for the Blockade Derby in Abu Dhabi. To ensure a feisty, if not outright hostile environment in the stadium, Emirati officials block-bought as many as 18,000 tickets and gave them away free - ostensibly as a charitable act, but one which had the obvious consequence of making sure very few "neutral" Qatar fans would get a seat.
Schools in the UAE closed early so the children of the nation could watch what should have been a glorious moment in Emirati sporting history.
What followed on Tuesday afternoon was, however, nothing short of a national humiliation.
In the first half, both teams had played a pacy, attractive brand of football - and the 2-0 scoreline in Qatar's favour may not have accurately reflected the passage of play, with their first goal the result of a goalkeeping error - even if Qatar's second, scored by the Sudan-born Almoez Ali after excellent teamwork, really was top class.
In the second half, the Emiratis simply broke down and lost all discipline - both on the field and in the stands. In the UK, the BBC still shows clips of England crashing out of European football competitions in the 1990s. It's the sort of collective shame that takes a generation or more to come to terms with.
And let's not beat about the bush, this absolute thrashing was worse than anything the England football team has had to face.
Having stacked the stadium with their own fans, who screamed insults during the Qatari national anthem and threw missiles, including shoes and bottles, at Qatar's players; having consigned Qatar to a total blockade for 18 months; having thrown baseless accusations at Doha; having threatened military invasion - the UAE still got beaten silly.
The 4-0 footballing lesson doled out by the Qataris was a lesson in overcoming petulance. It wasn't just a victory for 11 men on a field, but an example of the futility of this entire blockade.
A win against Japan in the final on Friday would be almost irrelevant after this heroic match. The defeat of UAE will go down in history for passion, projectiles - and, maybe, a little taste of justice.

Dwarf actor who starred with Priscilla Presley screamed 'I'm going to die' during high-speed police chase
Published: 1:54 PM February 6, 2013 Updated: 8:39 AM October 13, 2020
Darius Ashard at Snaresbrook Crown Court - Credit: Kevin Dunnett/Central News
"I'm going to die" screamed a showbiz dwarf as he and his friends led police on a terrifying high speed chase driving straight into oncoming traffic.
Darius Ashard, 21, who played Snoozy alongside Priscilla Presley in pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was a passenger in a stolen Vauxhall Astra.
The car was spotted in St Anthony's Avenue, Woodford Green, and weaved through traffic to avoid the police. It took the wrong exit on to the A406, drove into oncoming traffic and caused drivers to swerve out of the way.
During the chase Ashard, of Madras Road, Ilford, yelled "I'm going to die, I'm going to die", Snaresbrook Crown Court heard on Thursday.
Prosecutor Nadeem Holland said the car hit a red light at the junction of Chigwell Road towards Charlie Brown's roundabout, Woodford Green.
Officers gave up the chase fearing someone could be killed but the occupants jumped out of the car and were caught moments later.
Ashard admitted aggravated vehicle taking and handling stolen goods.
Police found the vehicle through an app on an iPad which had been stolen during a burglary by fellow passenger Nathan Pearce, 21, of Romford.
The car was driven by James Howsen, 22, of Hutton, Essex, who admitted aggravated vehicle taking and driving without insurance.
He was handed a six-month prison sentence and ordered to pay a £200 fine, as well as being disqualified for a year and given six penalty points.
Daniel Jerome, defending, said Ashard looked after a bag with stolen property out of friendship and asked to leave the car.
Ashard, who starred with Elvis' ex-wife in the panto in Wimbledon, was handed a 12-month community order with 40 hours' unpaid work.
Pearce will be sentenced for aggravated vehicle taking and two counts of burglary in March.

THE STRANGE CASE OF MR MAGDAL
In Negros and the surrounding areas, there are a number of folktales not unlike those found in Western comic books: Antman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman—stories of extraordinary humans with unique powers who people an alternate world.
Unlike its Western counterpart, however, this alternate world bleeds into Negros' everyday life. I still remember that when I was little, my carer Yaya Teresit brought me to the Sorohano (our local word for Babaylan) to cure some unexplained sores on my leg.
Like my Yaya, many a Negrense believes supermen walk amongst us. These supermen include the Busalians, Dalagangans, Balaylans, and Anting-antingans.
Busalians are individuals born with powers to influence the course of natural events. The most powerful amongst them are still able to summon inclement weather on an otherwise calm and sunny day. Through psychokinesis, even the weaker ones can move inanimate objects at will.
Dalagangans possess unusual physical strength and extraordinary fearlessness in their fight against the dark forces. Previously invincible in combat, their amazing skills give them the ability to be great leaders and protectors of their community. They are said to hold strong integrity, which points them to the right direction in ambiguous situations.
Babaylans or Sorohanos are the shamans and the healers of old. Historically, they had the important role of summoning animistic spirits to end drought or to ask for abundant harvest. Now-a-days, their social roles have been diminished, but through their mastery of various ritualistic ceremonies, coupled with their extensive knowledge of the properties of different plants, they still retain the powers of healing and clairvoyance. /1/
It was to a Babaylan that my Yaya brought me in order to ask for my cure. His ritual consisted of incantations, and dance movements around a darkened room as he rhythmically swung, twirled and otherwise manipulated a machete tied to a long piece of string dangling from the ceiling. After about 20-minutes, he paused and pronounced his diagnosis. I had fought with another girl who cast a spell or hiwit on me. His ceremony had now nixed that spell. He proceeded to instruct my Yaya to wash my sores with water boiled with the leaves of the guava tree. The sores eventually disappeared although I don't know if the guava leaves had anything to do with it. I do know they did stop me from quarreling.
Anting-antingans, on the other hand, were formerly ordinary humans who, through an amulet called anting-anting, acquire magical powers. Sometimes, anting-antings are found through serendipity, other times they are bestowed as gifts by some supernatural beings. An anting-anting can be a fang of an animal, bullet, piece of cloth, or any ornament where power resides and which must therefore be worn or carried at all times.
Magdal was one such Anting-antingan. His story is still recounted by old folks in the quiet town of Calatrava in northern Negros Occidental, a scenic place of hills, underground caves, and hidden waterfalls./2/
Young Magdal was a big and muscular man with bronze skin weathered by the sun. It is said that whilst wandering around Kandiwata Mountain, he met its owner Diwata, an earthly goddess. She complained that the many giant brambles surrounding the tip of the mountain made her itch too much, and implored Magdal to clear the prickly plants. In a spirit of kindness, Magdal laboured for days and the pleased Diwata in return gave him a stone amulet, a talisman with occult powers that could give him strength, cunning, and overall magic. He was admonished to use these powers wisely in the service of his people.
Magdal soon became a leading and respected figure in Calatrava, known for his prudence and fairness. During the Japanese invasion of Negros, it was reported that Magdal saved the town from occupation. The Japanese soldiers were encamped in neighbouring Escalante, waiting for reinforcements to arrive before crossing a bridge connecting it to Calatrava. /3/ Right under the noses of these soldiers, Magdal single-handedly destroyed the bridge, thus becoming a recognised hero.
After the war, legends grew around Magdal--he was allegedly seen walking on water near the shores of Lemery, the town center. He supposedly could also walk upright on leaves of cogon grass without disturbing the plant. Yet, it had been a while since anyone had talked to him. Where was Magdal? He had disappeared without a trace.
Flash forward some 60 years. There are current whispers among the old men frequenting Calatrava's lone beer house. Rumours have it that, as the Americans were liberating Negros, Magdal left the island to settle in his wife's province of Cebu. Perhaps out of feelings of dislocation--or possibly the anting-anting had in due course turned malignant after all--no one knew why, but there, he gradually descended into a life of dissolution. He acquired the vices of gambling and womanizing, and when drunk, was involved in brawls, which he always won because of his anting-anting.
In time, the powers of the anting-anting waned and Magdal was incarcerated when he knifed a man in another drunken brawl. According to one version of Magdal's story: a big black spider came out of his mouth when he died.
Unlike my son's superhero Spiderman, a.k.a. Peter Parker, who kept his uncle's famous precept--"With great power comes great responsibility"-- Magdal forgot Diwata's injunction. The anting-anting had to be used judiciously in the service of his people.
Magdal's story is thus a warning to the gifted amongst us—that there is punishment for those who do not use their gifts wisely.
Ascription: From interviews done by Jopy Plotria
Footnotes: /1/The Babaylans were community leaders before the country was Christianised through the coming of the Spaniards. They were mostly women or effeminate men, although today, they can be of either gender. Especially in more urbanised areas, their practice is also dying out. Babaylans are identified through bloodlines. Then, they go to a concealed place where they learn about the properties of diverse plants, master various rituals to summon the ancestral spirits, or simply in order to re-charge their energies. Aside from their healing powers, as clairvoyants they foretell events about impending troubles awaiting their patients or the community, and perform rituals to avert such disasters; /2/Nobody seems to know exactly where Mt Kandiwata is, as Calatrava is situated on a rocky mountain range with a number of hidden caves. Before Magdal's time, so the story goes, folks from Calatrava would go to Mt Kandiwata with their offerings in order to ask a favour from Diwata. In the 1970s, anthropologists from Siliman University, Negros Oriental, explored one of these hidden caves where they found a huge stone slab prominently displayed, perhaps an altar of sorts. Amongst the artifacts excavated were shards of jarlets and other earthen wares, old coins, and miscellaneous items suggesting that rites and rituals were practiced there; /3/Calatrava was a former dependency of Escalante. It became a separate municipality during the American occupation.

September 25, 2012 - Hollywood actress Linda Hamilton will no longer enjoy the ocean view of her former Malibu home, as the Los Angeles Times reports she has sold it for $4 million after initially listing it for sale for $5.495 million earlier this year. Public records don't reveal how much she purchased the home for, however, she has been living in the home for a long time.
The buyers who will be moving boxes into the gated villa will likely enjoy the privacy offered by the 1.1 acre property, while the open floor plan of 4,754 square feet of living space may have also prompted them to call for movers. With five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, the single-story home offers direct access to the beach, plenty of parking for friends, a bar, tall wood-beamed ceilings and multiple fireplaces.
According to the source, there is also a separate guest house, while multiple outdoor patios and a swimming pool make the home perfect for entertaining guests when the weather is nice.
While it has not been reported where she will be moving to, her role as Sarah Connor has allowed her other opportunities, including a starring role in the soon-to-be released Right Next Door.

Raven SR taps renewable fuels engineer Michael Fatigati as chief technology officer
PINEDALE, Wyo. – Sept. 13, 2021 – – Raven SR Inc. (Raven SR), a renewable fuels company, announced today the appointment of Michael A. Fatigati as chief technology officer to carry out the company's plans to utilize a wider array of feedstocks as it expands geographically. A chemical engineer, Fatigati brings extensive knowledge in the biofuels arena with diverse feedstocks and transformational technologies, including gasification, cellulose hydrolysis and algal fermentation.
"Mike brings to Raven SR broad and deep expertise in deriving green energy from biogenic, renewable sources," said Matt Murdock, CEO of Raven SR. "As we scale up our production and look to deploy to more sites with different feedstock streams, Mike will focus on customizing our non-combustion process for renewable fuel production facilities to optimize production in each market."
Fatigati joins Raven SR from Lee Enterprises Consulting, which focuses on bioenergy. Previously, he independently consulted on the financial and technical aspects of green energy projects, including biomass to synthetic fuels, ethanol and other thermochemical processes.
He began his career with Babcock & Wilcox in field engineering and business development. Fatigati received his MBA from Baldwin-Wallace College and holds a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering from the University of Akron.
Raven SR's Steam/CO2 Reformer non-combustion process produces hydrogen and synthetic fuels from a variety of sources, including waste in landfills with limited or no need for pre-sorting, medical waste, and methane emissions from energy production and agricultural sources. The synthetic liquid fuels include diesel, Jet A, mil-spec JP-8, additives and solvents (such as acetone, butanol and naphtha). The process can also generate electricity via microturbines.
"While other biomass energy initiatives are inspiring, Raven SR stands apart as it is bringing a commercial solution to market that can supplant non-renewable fuels in significant ways – cutting emissions and reducing waste," said Fatigati. "Raven is partnering with other energy transition leaders to convert real problems, such methane emissions, into sustainable energy. I'm honored to join the team."
His appointment as CTO comes after Raven SR unveiled a green hydrogen production project at a Republic Services sanitary landfill in Richmond, Calif., and plans to announce another waste-to-hydrogen project in Northern California. Raven SR investor and hydrogen truck company Hyzon Motors will be an offtaker from these hydrogen hubs.
Hyzon is among Raven SR's strategic investors, including Chevron, ITOCHU and Ascent Hydrogen Fund, who participated in the recent closing of a $20 million financing round.
About Raven SR
Raven SR, headquartered in Wyoming, transforms biomass, mixed municipal solid waste, bio-solids, sewage, medical waste, and natural or biogas into renewable fuels. Using its proprietary, non-combustion, non-catalytic "Steam/CO2 Reformation" technology, Raven SR dependably produces a hydrogen-rich syngas regardless of feedstock utilized. Raven SR, led by co-founders Matt Murdock and Matt Scanlon, is committed to adding value to local resources and communities while responsibly reducing greenhouse gases and achieving a low carbon economy. By using modular systems and producing low air emissions, their systems can be located closer to customers and feedstock, creating local fuel from local waste for local mobility.

Who Leaks LACC Draft Report? – As LACC promises to dealt with those involved


" We met briefly at the conference in Colorado this past August. I wanted to share with you that I believe my immune system is responding very nicely to the BAC F3 formula (history of breast cancer) since beginning to take it back in April of this year. In fact, my partner has just been sick for the past week, complete with fever and chest and head congestion, as well as a few other people we know. I typically will catch EVERYTHING that everyone else has, especially if we're under the same roof! This time around, though, I felt only the very slightest signs from my body that I was fighting something off, a bit of increased mucous drip in the back of my throat occasionally, not excessive, just sort of "there" and making itself known. I took a couple extra BAC capsules that day, a bit more water, took it easier exercising, went to bed early, and by the next morning, VOILA! I felt fine with no further problems whatsoever! It never developed into anything more than what I just described!
In the Quantum Leap Wellness series, we demonstrate how health can be simple while diseases can be complex. We write about common sense solutions that can frequently be FREE and will save you money today and significantly reduce your future health costs.
While the protein, mineral and vitamin values of Bio-Algae Concentrates (BAC) are impressive, these minute algae organisms are also rich in pigments that are biochemically as important to health. Without these pigments, our body could not synthesize many of the enzymes necessary for balancing metabolism. BAC contains a high level of enzymatic pigments and mixed carotenoids. In recent years, these pigments and carotenoids have received a tremendous amount of attention as potential anticancer and anti-aging compounds.
Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants, protecting the cells of the body from damage caused by free radicals. Carotenoids and specifically beta-carotene and alpha-carotene are also believed to enhance the function of the immune system. Carotenoids represent one of the most widespread groups of naturally occurring pigments. These compounds are largely responsible for the red, yellow, and orange color of fruits and vegetables, and are also found in many dark green vegetables. The most abundant carotenoids in the North American diet are beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, gamma-carotene, lycopene, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin.
True vitamin A is found in the pre-formed state only in animal sources, such as liver. This is the form of vitamin A sometimes associated with toxicity and overdose since it is fat-soluble and is not readily excreted from the body.
Some substances in plant foods are not true vitamins, but provide the precursors from which the body can then synthesize the appropriate vitamins. The carotenoid compounds of BAC are of this nature since they are used to produce pro-vitamin A. For example, β-carotene, which has only about 1/6 the biological activity of retinol (vitamin A); the body uses an enzyme to convert β-carotene to retinol. In other contexts, both β-carotene and retinol are simply considered to be different forms of vitamin A.
In contrast to animal source vitamin A, the carotenoid complexes found in BAC are converted to vitamin A only as it is needed, thus minimizing the dangers of toxicity. In nature, algae are a primary source of vitamin A precursors – it is from algae carotenoids that fish livers derive and concentrate vitamin A.
Until late in the 20th Century, the functions of these carotenoids were discussed only in terms of their potential vitamin A activity. But since it has been discovered that certain members of the carotenoid family, approximately 50 carotenoids of the known 600, are called "pro vitamin A" compounds because the body can convert them into retinol, an active form of vitamin A.
BAC contains several of these "pro vitamin A" compounds and especially some compounds like alpha-carotene known as "pro-pro vitamin A" for their capacity to not only traverse cell membrane but to span across the cell membrane.
These and several lesser pigments such as phycoerythrin, tetrapyrrole, Phytonadione and the carotenoids are not just the "color" of living organisms but are used to carry on metabolic processes throughout the body. Without them, enzymatic reactions would be reduced until cellular disintegration occurred.
Astaxanthin present in BAC is a pigment of the carotenoid complex found in the microalgae Haematococcus Pluvialis. It is an oxygenated pigment called a xanthophyll. Its unique molecular structure gives it a superior antioxidant capacity.
Astaxanthin is 40 times more effective as an antioxidant than b-carotene, 500 to 1000 times more effective in inhibiting lipid peroxidation as an antioxidant than Vitamin E, has greater anti-inflammatory capability than Vitamin E, has almost 4 times the antioxidant capacity of lutein, is superior protection against UVA and UVB light-induced oxidative stress, is more stable in scavenging and quenching than b-carotene, canthaxanthin and zeaxanthin, is highly potent in enhancing T1 and T2 helper cells and IgM and IgG (secondary immunity) production, is more effective than lycopene and lutein in enhancing liver microsome detoxification activity (enzymes that metabolize drugs), enhances the actions of Vitamins C and E in the body, and enhances the release of retinol (Vitamin A) from the liver when needed.
Astaxanthin has been shown to inhibit lipid peroxidation at the cell level thus protecting the cell membrane and the mitochondrial membrane within the cell; cross the blood-brain barrier which makes it available to the eye, brain and central nervous system to alleviate oxidative stress that contributes to ocular and neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma and Alzheimer's; and to provide significantly more antioxidant capacity than other carotenoids and antioxidants, such as beta-carotene and Vitamin E.
Astaxanthin has also been shown to entrap free radicals by adding them to its long, double-bonded chain.
Rather than donating an electron, astaxanthin stabilizes the cell membrane, somewhat acting as a bridge in that its polar end groups span the cell membrane thus increasing its rigidity and mechanical strength, neutralizing singlet and triplet oxygen generated by UVA and UVB radiation and other sources, binding to a lipoprotein – an efficient transport vehicle – thus making it more bioavailable, and increasing immune system function, including heightened production of antibody-secreting cells and Interleukin 2 and suppression of Interferon-gamma.
Newer studies have shown that Astaxanthin inhibits reactive oxygen species that cause inflammation, enhances the antioxidant actions of Vitamin E and Vitamin C, and encourages the release of Vitamin A from the liver when needed. Astaxanthin has 500-1000 times the antioxidant capacity of Vitamin E and 40 times the antioxidant capacity of beta-carotene. Many laboratory studies also indicate Astaxanthin works better than lutein, lycopene, and tocotrienols. Following ingestion, Astaxanthin is absorbed by the duodenal mucosa and transported to the liver where it binds with a lipoprotein for transport through the body and to the cell site. Because it is oxygenated, a xanthophyll has greater antioxidant capacity than many other carotenoids.
Within the xanthophylls, the Astaxanthin molecule contains the longest conjugated, double-bond polyene chain along with both hydroxy and carbonyl groups at each end. This configuration supports the greatest antioxidant capacity, its peroxyl radical chain-breaking abilities, its incorporation of free radicals into its polyene chain thereby more effectively trapping them, and its enhancement of Vitamin C as an antioxidant.
While other carotenoids and antioxidants may perform one or two of these functions, Astaxanthin does them all and, in most cases, does them better. In addition to entrapping free radicals, Astaxanthin also de-charges singlet and triplet oxygen and inhibits reactive oxygen, giving it anti-inflammatory properties.

GARDEN CITY, TX (09/03/2015) — A broadsided car accident injured two men: Rocky Rendon and Randy Galindo, and claimed the life of James Grice, on Thursday morning.
According to authorities, 35-year-old Rocky Rendon IV and 27-year-old Randy Galindo were both injured, and 32-year-old James Grice was killed, following a two-vehicle car wreck on Thursday morning along Highway 158 in Garden City, Texas.
Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Troopers stated that a 2014 Chevrolet 2500 HD—driven by Grice—was traveling eastbound when it failed to control its speed and struck a 2007 Cub Cadet, driven by Rendon, who was attempting to make a left turn.
Grice was reportedly not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to officials, Rendon and Galindo—the two occupants of the Cadet—were transported to Midland Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
James Grice will always be remembered as a truly wonderful young man. He was kind and funny. He was a loving person and would never intentionally hurt a soul. He is in Gods arms now and we will all miss him.

Get Ready to Enjoy the Joshua v Ruiz Stream
2019 has been the year of the big boxing upset and they didn't come much greater than the one achieved at Madison Square Garden in New York earlier this year. World champion Anthony Joshua put his alphabet of world titles on the line against fellow heavyweight Andy Ruiz Jnr and returned home without his prized assets.
The Mexican American ducked between the ropes as a supposed no-hoper, written off by everyone from bookmakers to former fighters. That wasn't only because he was a late stand-in opponent given less than a month to prepare for the biggest bout of his life. It was also due to the fact he seemed strangely proud of his fleshy body shape that appeared to be pushing obese.
Ruiz Upsets the Odds
Followers of the noble art will be only too quick to remind us, however, that in the fight game anything can happen and in the fight game anything often does happen. In a sport where one punch can change everything, the outcome can be changed in the blink of an eye. One lazy shot, one misplaced duck, one step in the wrong direction and careers can come crashing down. That's certainly true in the heavyweight division where big guys are throwing big punches.
It was also true for Anthony Joshua against an eerily quiet backdrop in June of this year. The Brit sent his opponent to the canvas in the third round and looked to be lining up yet another early knockout win, but things didn't go according to plan. Andy Ruiz Jr climbed up off the desk, dusted himself down and went to work. He dropped AJ twice in round three to turn the tide and finished his man with another two knockdowns in round seven. Referee Michael Griffin had seen enough and waved the fight off, crowning a new champion in the progress.
Joshua Triggers Rematch Clause
There was much talk in the game, after the dust had settled, about a possible rematch. It had been made clear by the Matchroom Sports team, mainly frontman Eddie Hearn, that the standard rematch clause had been written into the contract. It wasn't clear, however, if Team Joshua would push for it. Anthony had been knocked out and embarrassed by a man many believed – pre-bout – wasn't fit to lace his boots. Not only was he knocked out and beaten, but it was done in convincing fashion.
No flash knockdown or lucky punch. Ruiz was a fully deserving champion and we now had people saying he would have no trouble doing it again, beating Joshua for a second time as the Englishman wasn't able to adapt and improve. When it became apparent Joshua v Ruiz II would go ahead and AJ wanted it, the debate then moved to the location. Joshua had gone to America as champion, would Ruiz show the same bottle and put his title on the line by fighting in the UK?
Perhaps the bout should take place in Mexico in front of Andy's adoring fans. He had become an overnight sensation in that part of the world, and everyone wanted a piece of their new champ. Going back to the neutral ground of Madison Square Gardens or America was another option. In the end, the decision caught everyone off-guard. Money talks, in boxing more than any other sport, and the Joshua v Ruiz date was announced as 7 December at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia. To say that raised a few eyebrows would be an understatement.
Time for Business
Now the contracts have been signed, the ink dried, the Joshua v Ruiz press conference completed and both fighters in the thick of their training camps, fans can now look forward to the big rematch. This will be the biggest fight of the year and it will pull in millions of viewers from all around the world. Everyone wants to see if Joshua can set the record straight or if Ruiz can do it again, defending his title and setting up a unification bout with fellow countryman Deontay Wilder to create a super champion.
Where can you catch the action? UK fans can follow a blow by blow account live on Sky Sports Box Office and it's sure to be a spectacular show. The bout will be screened across the globe and there are a number of other ways to keep up to date, including a Joshua v Ruiz live stream.
This is an HD quality stream with crystal clear sound, expert commentary and no loading times. It allows viewers to watch the clash on their desktop computer at home or through a mobile device when on the move, all at the touch of a button. The actual Joshua v Ruiz time in UK is expected to be around 18:00 GMT. That will be strange, to say the least, but it will ensure a bumper audience.

What the Betting Sites Say
What do the betting sites make of it all and what's the latest boxing betting? They had AJ priced like losing wasn't an option first time out, have they been forced to rethink their strategy in the build-up to the rematch? The most recent Joshua v Ruiz odds has the Englishman as the favourite once again but there's not an awful lot in it at the moment. Traders have been forced to give Andy Ruiz Jr the credit he deserves and have sliced his price in from earlier this year.
Anthony Joshua to tear off a strip of revenge is available at no better than 4/11 with Ladbrokes and that's the market best price. Andy Ruiz Jr to dish out more of the same has been chalked up on the betting board as a 5/2 pick with Betfair and, again, that's the most generous quote around. The latter will take some ignoring and is sure to attract the attention of value hunters on the lookout for a way to hurt the traders. The draw looks unlikely and shouldn't see too many bets, even at the 33/1 offered up by Betfair.
There's more to be had in the method of victory market. If you believe you know the winner of this bout you can push your luck and predict how they'll achieve the result. Anthony Joshua by knockout is 8/11 with bet365 or the points win can be backed at 4/1 through Ladbrokes. Ruiz to deal another KO/TKO will net you 7/2 at bet365, the judges' verdict a 16/1 poke (bet365).
Famous Comebacks for British Fighters
Let's not forget, for as unpredictable as the sport of boxing is, we've witnessed some famous comebacks from British fighters over the years, including British heavyweights. Lennox Lewis is, perhaps, the most memorable of them in recent times. The Englishman was knocked out by little-known Hasim Rahman for only the second defeat of his career. No one saw it coming.
Lennox The Lion Lewis got his belts back in stunning fashion when handing a comeback knockout defeat to his rival in the rematch. That's a night Anthony Joshua can learn a lot from and there will be hordes of British boxing fans hoping he can do it.

Studio Network Solutions' easy-to-use media asset management application will give Adobe® After Effects® CC artists the ability to search, preview, tag, comment, and import media from shared storage without leaving their Adobe After Effects CC workspace.
Studio Network Solutions' easy-to-use media asset management application will give Adobe After Effects artists the ability to search, preview, tag, comment, and import media from shared storage without leaving their Adobe After Effects workspace.
St. Louis, MO – April 3rd, 2019 – Studio Network Solutions (SNS), a leading media technology company that enables video teams to securely store, share, and organize media, today announced an upcoming ShareBrowser media asset management extension for Adobe® After Effects®, part of Adobe Creative Cloud®.
ShareBrowser is an easy-to-use media asset management app that gives video teams the ability to organize their files with custom tags and comments, search and preview media, organize clips into bins, and import their media and metadata into various production applications.
Instead of using email, Dropbox, or copying files back and forth from external drives, teams of editors and motion graphics artists can collaborate around a centralized media library. When an Adobe Premiere Pro editor needs to share a selection of shots that need VFX, they can create a bin from the ShareBrowser extension, add notes, and share in just a few clicks without ever leaving the timeline.
In organizations with multiple collaborators who aren't directly involved in creative editorial, ShareBrowser can be used as a standalone desktop or HTML5 web app, so that everyone can easily find, organize, and share media. Assistants, producers, and other team members can use ShareBrowser to log clips, make selects, and manage stored media and projects.
Like the extension for Adobe Premiere Pro, the extension for After Effects is free for ShareBrowser users. Unlimited licenses of ShareBrowser are included with every EVO Shared Storage system. Visitors to NAB 2019 can meet Studio Network Solutions for a personalized demonstration of ShareBrowser, EVO, and more at booth #SL3305 in South Lower Hall in the Las Vegas Convention Center on April 8-11th.
