Dwight Howard Unable to Hit Free Throws in Loss to the Lakers
Late in the fourth quarter of a tight game, Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni employed a method that he absolutely hated when Dwight Howard was playing for him. Hack-a-Howard worked to perfection, even as the big fella clownishly tried to run away from the intentional fouls, and the Rockets went down in dramatic fashion. Per NBA.com: "There were those dozen free-throw attempts that the Lakers gave Howard in the fourth quarter that he might not have had more trouble getting down if he'd been trying to swallow logs. It was a 99-98 L.A. win in the first week of November that revealed precious little about how Howard's old team or his new one will look in the meat of the schedule. But it was an opportunity for the Lakers to exorcise four months of abandonment feelings left by the only high profile star to ever pull up stakes and walk out on the NBA's most glamorous franchise and it was a night for the Rockets to remember that though they won the $80-million free agent tug 'o war, their prize doesn't come without inherent flaws. 'We'll see them again,' Howard said. 'There's so many emotions, we'd have to go through and array of stuff,' said Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni. 'We win on the road the first time. We beat a good team. We played better. I mean, down there somewhere, yeah, I'm human. It's great (to beat Howard). He made his choice, which is good. You've got to respect that. He's fine. They're gonna have a great team and he's a great player.' However, in this game Howard was little more than average, scoring 15 points, grabbing 14 rebounds and looking confined and uncomfortable. […] A year ago, as Howard's coach, D'Antoni chafed at the rules when opponents intentionally fouled his All-Star center when games were on the line. But with the Rockets wiping out a 19-point Laker lead and riding James Harden's 35 points to surge in front midway through the fourth quarter, D'Antoni wasn't at all averse to hacking the big man at every opportunity. Howard finished up shooting 5-for-16 on free throws for the night and was 5-for-12 in the fourth quarter. From the time the Lakers first hacked Howard with 3:24 left in the game, Harden never scored again. 'I thought it went real well because we took Harden out of the game,' D'Antoni said. 'I think it worked pretty good. And he made foul shots. That's about as good as he'll do. "Harden's tough to guard 1-on-1 and I'd rather have Dwight there instead of Harden. That's not gonna work all the time. That doesn't mean you're not gonna use it if it's out there. I'm not crazy. But if I could change it, I would probably change the rule.'"

Syrian Trans Refugee Mişa: Trans Guesthouse has become a home for me
Discussions on trans refugees were held as part of the trans pride week. Mişa, a Syrian trans refugee woman, lamented "I imagined that I would be happy in Istanbul. Apparently, I was wrong."
Source: Yıldız Tar, "Suriyeli Trans Mülteci Mişa: Trans Misafirhanesi evim gibi oldu" ("Syrian Trans Refugee Mişa: Trans Guesthouse has become a home for me"). Kaos GL, 20 June 2015, http://www.kaosgl.org/sayfa.php?id=19661
Organized by the Istanbul LGBTI Solidarity Association, 6th Trans Pride Week continues. As part of the various panels and workshops taking place during the week, a discussion on trans refugees was held. Problems of trans refugees seeking shelter and various solutions to their problems including the trans guesthouse were presented.
The panel, held at the İsmail Beşikçi Foundation, was moderated by Deniz Tunç. The speakers were Mişa, a trans refugee woman and occupant of the trans guesthouse; Zeynep Kıvılcım of the Istanbul University Political Sciences Faculty, Cansu Alözkan of the Refugees and Immigrants Solidarity Association and Selin Berghan of the Pink Life Association.
Trans Guesthouse provided shelter for 50 people
In her opening speech, Deniz Tunç provided updates on the Trans Guesthouse. According to Tunç, the trans guesthouse provided shelter to almost 50 people. "We have hosted as many as 20 LGBTI refugees from war and we will continue to accommodate them as long as our resources allow us. It is, however, time to stand in solidarity with the guesthouse." Tunç continued.
"I imagined that I would be happy in Istanbul, Apparently I was wrong"
First panelist Mişa, a Syrian trans refugee woman, talked about the hardships of being an asylum seeker and what she went through in Istanbul.
"When I first got here, I imagined that I would be very happy here and that I would have a good future. I thought people would be open-minded and respectful but apparently I was wrong. I escaped Syria because it is a homophobic country and I was not respected there. In Istanbul though, every day is a different adventure. I do not have a job. Istanbul is an expensive city. I do not have an ID card. I have no income to speak of. The only place I can live in is the Taksim area and it is very expensive here. I have thought about returning to Syria after going through all of these problems. I risked going back, even though my life was in danger there. That is when some people told me about the Trans guesthouse and that I could stay there. I met the people in the organization and they told me that I could stay with them until I get my life in order. Later, I registered with the United Nations as a refugee. If it were not for the Trans Guesthouse, I would be on the streets now."
"I rented an apartment but they did not leave me in peace"
Mişa went on to say that after receiving financial support from her mother she left the Trans Guesthouse and rented an apartment for herself. She told of how she rented an apartment out of a commonly used building and how she was prevented from living there and had to go back to living in the guesthouse.
"There was an ad in the paper implying that it was a place where LGBTI could live in peace. But people kept disturbing me during my stay there. They kept ringing my doorbell for no reason, stealing my stuff and acting horribly towards me in general. I wanted to leave the apartment but the person running the establishment did not give me back my deposit. I told them, 'you keep saying this is a LGBTI-friendly establishment so what kind of treatment is this?'" They replied 'suit yourself' and kicked me out."
"Trans Guesthouse has become a home"
After that, I went back to the Guesthouse. I felt safe there. The guesthouse is not only a place where I stay, it is also a place that I miss like a home or family. Istanbul LGBTI works hard and I would very much like to help them and do some work for the association in the future."
Zeynep Kıvılcım talked of her work with Syrian refugees who are women and LGBTI. She shared that she started her work with information and advice from other non-governmental organizations who were working with refugees. She continued, "we asked organizations that worked on refugee issues about the Syrian LGBTI refugees but realized that these people were invisible."
"The interview in Kaos GL encouraged me to continue"
Kıvılcım said that, despite her many efforts, she did not succeed in reaching LGBTI refugees for a long time. It was only after she read an interview on Kaosgl.org that she could continue her work.
"When I asked the LGBTI organizations working in the field, I was not able to reach Syrian LGBTI. Finally, they told me about an interview on kaosgl.org with a gay Syrian refugee. I read that interview, reached the interviewer and through him, finally met a young gay man from Syria. A new door had opened when I had lost all hope of reaching anyone."
Kıvılcım talked about the importance of organizations like the Trans Guesthouse, saying "every organization working on Syria was saying that there could be no immediate solutions to the shelter problem. This is where solidarity acts such as the trans guesthouse became important. After contacting a lot of places, I was then able to reach Istanbul LGBTI and Trans Guesthouse. When I asked them whether LGBTI refugees could seek shelter there, the answer was positive. Trans Guesthouse is now where Syrian LGBTI refugees are referred to by ASAM (Association for Solidarity with Asylum Seekers and Migrants)."
"LGBTI refugees also lack informal support structures like family"
Kıvılcım listed some of the problems of LGBTI refugees that she based on information she collected in the field.
"After the interviews we conducted, I can safely say that Syrian refugees are facing unsafe conditions for living and shelter. LGBTI refugees have a much more difficult time of it, because most of the time they are also denied support from their families. Informal support through family ties is one of the main survival strategies for refugees and LGBTI refugees do not have access to this. Support from religious organizations in the field is similarly lacking for the LGBTI. Lastly, the places where Syrian Refugees work, usually in terribly crowded and horrible conditions, are also places where Syrian LGBTI are systematically abused and mistreated. They are subject to systematic sexual abuse both in the workplace and their temporary shelters."
"Government is unavailable when it comes to LGBTI Refugees"
Cansu Alözkan from ASAM also emphasized that the hardships faced by the LGBTI refugees are much more severe compared to the rest of the refugees. She added, "if there are certain abuses regarding women refugees or children, organizations like mine could force the government's help into helping. We cannot solve shelter problems right away but we give it a try by getting the government involved. However, when it is LGBTI refugees that are seeking help, none of these procedures work."
"The Republic of Turkey only accepts LGBTI in Prisons"
Selin Berghan made the closing arguments of the panel by registering some of the problems of trans inmates in prison. She recorded that trials of trans woman inmates are rushed and that they receive their sentencing much faster than other defendants.
Berghan also criticized the "LGBTI Prison" project which has been on the government's agenda. Berghan said, "The Republic of Turkey only accepts LGBTI in prisons. They are planning to construct an LGBTI prison but there are a number of issues outside prison."
Berghan talked about the conditions in the prisons:
"Where the inmate will be located is always a problem. The inmate's ward is determined according to whether the trans inmate is pre- or post-operative. If she has not had a sex change operation then the trans woman is placed in the male population. Then, the prison administration isolates the inmate in order to prevent potential violence from ward mates. Considering that not many trans women have good relations with their families and that they have very few visitors, trans women are more isolated than the rest. Despite these conditions, some trans women prefer the isolation in order to escape physical and sexual violence common in prisons. There are also a considerable number of obstacles for trans women to keep them from using the common areas and joining common activities. Trans women staying with male population are also deprived of amenities such as wax or tweezers. These are quite important items since they are part of the inmates' identity as trans women. Also there are other incidents such as forced haircuts. These cause great traumas to inmates."
Trans Pride Week continued today with the panel on "Trans Identities and Mental Health." The weeklong organizations will end with the walk from Taksim to Tünel tomorrow at 5:00pm. LGBTI Pride Week will start on Monday, July 22nd.

Life Lessons From Monsters, Inc.
Nancy Lambert
Fri Nov 5, 2021 12:00pm 4 Favorites [+]
Image: Pixar/Disney
Like the best kids' books, the best kids' movies work on multiple levels, and Monsters, Inc., Pixar's fourth feature-length film, is no exception.
To recap Monsters, Inc. (and if I must say it—spoilers ahead): Monsters James P. (Sulley) Sullivan and Mike Wazowski are best friends (and coworkers) who, along with a myriad of other monsters, live and work in the bustling city of Monstropolis. Denizens of Monstropolis are facing an energy crisis. Their main source of power, called Scream, is sourced from the terrified screams of the numerous children that monsters like Mike and Sulley scare for a living at Monsters, Incorporated. But with the increasingly terrifying state of the world, kids have bigger fears on their mind, and the monsters in their closets just aren't as scary as they used to be. Fewer scares = fewer screams = energy shortage.
Released in November 2001, Monsters, Inc. was completed before the events of September 11th unfolded. The film certainly wasn't designed to be a response to those events. Yet the overarching confront-your-fears messaging was spot-on for those raw first few months that buzzed with color-coded emergency warnings and media-fueled anxiety. So it was comforting, for both kids and adults alike, to watch Monsters' camped-up CDA (Child Detection Agency) SWAT teams overreact to a child's tiny sock, or see the news anchors panicking on air while a graphic bearing a NY Post-esque "KID-TASTROPHE" headline looms behind them.
But 20 years later, removed from that shadow, Monsters, Inc. still shines. There's no denying that the film is geared toward kids—a wonderfully imagined world, inhabited by a colorful cast of barely-scary-even-when-they-are-trying monsters, where silly sight gags abound. But take a closer look and you'll see that the underlying messages in Monsters, Inc. apply pretty damn well to those of us in the post-(post-post-post-) kindergarten set as well.
It's no accident, it relies on clever writing, something the folks at Pixar seem to value. So much of the comedy in Monsters depends on wry observations about corporate America, that—although kids might get some of the jokes in theory (what is homework, if not a TPS report with training wheels)—it's clear that the real targets are the adults: Isn't there always at least one Roz or Randall (who incidentally bears a striking resemblance to the monster of my nightmares, the house centipede) at every job? Aren't meaningless performance evaluations and dreaded paperwork de rigueur in most offices?
Naturally, the strongest message in Monsters, Inc. is that of confronting one's fears—whether they be literal (the monsters in your closet) or figurative (the "monsters" in your workplace). While Boo's triumph over the ever-plotting Randall is relatively quick and clear-cut, Sulley's victories are much more nuanced. He and Mike risk everything to expose the conspiracy that goes straight to the top of Monsters, Inc.—but by taking on the bad guys, they also risk shutting down the company, leaving lots of jobless monsters and threatening all of Monstropolis' power supply. Sticking up for yourself is tough enough when you're a kid, tougher still when you're an adult and you have a myriad of additional responsibilities to consider. But in Monsters, Inc. the message is clear: even though it was scary, the most important thing was that Boo, Sulley and Mike took that stand at all.
Monsters, Inc. is also about—to paraphrase the old Apple ads—thinking differently. At the start of the film, Sulley's purely a company man, whose goals and mind-set are exactly in-line with those of his employer. But through his interactions with Boo, Sulley begins to see the world differently. This change in world-view allows him to tackle the problem of the Monstropolis energy crises, and by the end of the film, Sulley literally turns Monsters, Inc. into a laugh factory. While this probably won't happen where you work, it's a great message (for young and old) about how true innovation occurs when people approach old problems from a new angle.
So whether you are watching Monsters, Inc. for the first time or the thousandth, whether you are watching for the slapstick comedy or the hidden humor, try to keep these things in mind: confront the fears that hold you back, try to think outside the box, and okay, fine—wear sunscreen.

Home/World News/Taliban releases prominent Afghan professor from custody: Family
Taliban releases prominent Afghan professor from custody: Family
Charles ArthurLast Updated: 11 January 2022
The Taliban have released a prominent university professor and outspoken critic of successive Afghan governments who was arrested during the weekend, a family member said.
Hasina Jalal, Faizullah Jalal's daughter, said on Tuesday that her father had been freed from Taliban custody. The group had accused him of making provocative remarks against the government.
Jalal had been detained on Sunday by the Taliban's intelligence arm.
"After more than four days of detention on baseless charges, I confirm that Professor Jalal is now finally released," Hasina posted on Twitter, after launching a social media campaign calling for his immediate release.
A longtime professor of law and political science at Kabul University, Jalal has earned a reputation as a critic of Afghanistan's leaders during the past decades.
Jalal has made several appearances on television talk shows since the US-backed government was pushed out in August, blaming the Taliban for a worsening financial crisis and criticising them for ruling by force.
In one television appearance, he called Taliban spokesman Mohammad Naeem a "calf", a grave insult in Afghanistan. Clips of his criticism went viral online.
Government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid earlier said on Twitter that Jalal had made statements on social media in which he was "trying to instigate people against the system".
"He has been arrested so that others don't make similar senseless comments … that harm the dignity of others," he added.
Jalal's family said the tweets shared by Mujahid were from a fake Twitter account they had tried to get shut down.
"The Taliban are just using these posts as an excuse to silence a strong voice within the country," Hasina, a fellow at Georgetown University in Washington DC, told the AFP news agency after the arrest.
After his detention, he received an outpouring of support on social media, with many users posting photos of Jalal. A small group of women protested in Kabul, demanding his release.
In his late 50s, the Afghan professor had refused offers to leave the country after the Taliban seized power, living mostly in hiding in Kabul while his family fled to Europe, Hasina said, according to AFP.
The Taliban seized control of Afghanistan last August before the US's chaotic August 31 departure after nearly 20 years of war. The group previously held power from 1996-2001.
Afghanistan faces a major humanitarian crisis, with the United Nations warning that 90 percent of the country's 38 million people are in dire need. The arrest of a prominent political activist threatened to complicate humanitarian aid efforts.

The Expression Agenda Report 2016-2017
The Freedom of Expression metric
Our new Expression Agenda (XpA) metric gives a comprehensive picture of the state of freedom of expression and information internationally in 2016. Using V-Dem's multi-dimensional dataset, the metric examines 350 aspects of democracy in 172 countries to provide an analysis that captures the challenges and complexity of the freedom expression across the world.
By examining freedom of expression through this holistic approach, we can achieve a far deeper understanding of the benefits, risks and global trends that impact on the ability of everyone to raise their voice and be heard, regardless of sex, gender, ethnicity, race or religion.
Global trends from our metric show that media freedom is at its lowest level in ten years. Turkey, Brazil, Bangladesh, Burundi and Macedonia are experiencing significant decline in free speech over the past years while Tunisia, Kyrgyzstan, Romania and Sri Lanka all evidence progress.

Julia doesn't understand what is happening to her daughter, but she thinks she knows what's causing it. She is terrified for Lily, and for herself, but what scares her more is that no one believes her.
There, Julia uncovers a heartbreaking, long-buried tale of tragedy and devastation - a discovery that puts her in serious danger. Some people will do anything in their power to keep the truth silent . . .
A standalone novel from Tess Gerritsen.
Clever and well written. It is a story that will stay with you long after you have read it.
The mystery starts after Julia buys an old music sheet and plays the music on her violin. The music seems to have a strange effect on her little daughter. The family cat is found stabbed to death after Julia plays the music for the first time and then Julia is stabbed in the leg during the second playing. The only other person present each time is her daughter.
Julia is convinced that somehow the music is responsible and sets off to discover its history.
There are two stories woven through the novel; the story behind the origins of the music, and the present day story of Julia's investigations. The tragic circumstances surrounding the music's origins unfolds as the narration switches from the present day to WWII Italy. It is a haunting and emotional tale told with great eloquence.
There is a twist at the end of the novel which I didn't see coming. The mystery surrounding the violence that occurred when the music was played was resolved and it rounded the story off on a more optimistic note.
But the best price you'll find for the hardback copy is at Amazon (UK) where it is currently reduced to £5.

Apart from global warming this is the most important crisis in the world; that of the few who are trying to control our lives and keep us in ignorance. They will not succeed provided there are enough of us who are aware of what they are up to. We have to challenge them on all fronts. And we have to start here in New Zealand. This government and all political parties live in their own small defined world bowing to the wishes of foreign governments and the multinationals. Here in New Zealand we ought to say no to being dictated to and set an example for the rest of the world. We did it with nucleur now let us ask for honesty from our government.

Boulder Acoustic Society continues to soundtrack Mayne Street and makes changes to its lineup
Dave Herrera | October 27, 2009 | 2:00pm
We're not big sportos around here. We know, right? Hard to imagine. Folks who spend all of their time writing about, talking about, listening to, thinking about and making music, you'd think we'd all be big jocks, especially since we live in such a huge sports town. That in mind, we're not sure how big of a deal this is, but we just heard that Mayne Street, a show hosted by ESPN Sports Center's Kenny Mayne, has reupped with the Boulder Acoustic Society to continue providing music for the show. New episodes begin airing tonight. On a related note, the band has also added a new member. Bassist Neil McCormick, who's played with Andrea Ball and the Claim Jumpers, among others, will now be holding down the lowend for the Society. Violinist Kailin Yong, meanwhile, will be parting ways with the act at the end of the year to focus on the Peace Project Orchestra.

St Kilda Botanical Gardens are a botanical garden located in the suburb St Kilda, Victoria, Australia. Located on the former site of a gravel pit and rubbish dump, they were formally gazetted on 28 September 1859 and opened in 1861.

In October 2010 City of Port Phillip provided funds for the design of four distinctive new gates, to celebrate the gardens' 150th anniversary.  The gates were installed on Tennyson, Dickens and Herbert Streets.  They were designed and sculpted by designer/blacksmith David Wood of Bent Metal.

In 1948 the Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden was opened; in 1985 it was redesigned in its current style.  At one time the Alister Clark garden contained a large selection of roses bred by him, but only a few remain, crowded out by David Austin ones. This garden should not be confused with the comprehensive Alister Clark Memorial Rose Garden at Bulla, north of Melbourne.

The ornamental pond near the sub-tropical rainforest conservatory is being refurbished. At the same time, St Kilda Rain Man, designed by Corey Thomas and Ken Arnold and installed in 2005 will be repaired.  Rain Man fountain is solar powered and uses recycled water from the pond below.

I have already tried looping through the string, and have so far only been successful after finding the first occurrence of the characters "ATG" and to print out the index of the character after that, which is 8. My program however stops after this even though there are more occurrences of the characters "ATG" in the string.
for y in range(len(s)):
    y = s[i : i + 3]
    i = i + 3
    if y == 'ATG':
        print(s.index(y)+3)

In this part of the code 's' is the string.
The result is 8 as it finds the first occurance of "ATG" and prints out the index of the character after that. My expected result should be 8, 110, 278, 336 and 340. It would seem the loop stops after finding "ATG" for the first time instead of going all the way through the string until it ends.

A: i=0
while True:
    i=s.find("ATG",i)
    if i == -1: break
    i+=3
    print(i)

A: This should be what you were trying to code:
s = "ACAAGATGCCATTGTCCCCCGGCCTCCTGCTGCTGCTGCTCTCCGGGGCCACGGCCACCGCTGCCCTGCCCCTGGAGGGTGGCCCCACCGGCCGAGACAGCGAGCATATGCAGGAAGCGGCAGGAATAAGGAAAAGCAGCCTCCTGACTTTCCTCGCTTGGTGGTTTGAGTGGACCTCCCAGGCCAGTGCCGGGCCCCTCATAGGAGAGGAAGCTCGGGAGGTGGCCAGGCGGCAGGAAGGCGCACCCCCCCAGCAATCCGCGCGCCGGGACAGAATGCCCTGCAGGAACTTCTTCTGGAAGACCTTCTCCTCCTGCAAATAAAACCTCACCCATGAATGCTCACGCAAGTTTAATTACAGACCTGAA"

search_str = 'ATG'
for y in range(len(s)-len(search_str)+1):
    sub_str = s[y : y + 3]
    if sub_str == search_str:
        print(y+len(search_str))

8
110
278
336
340

In case you need a one-liner for the fixed string 'ATG', here you go:
res = [n+3 for n in range(len(s)-2) if s[n:n+3] == 'ATG']
print(res)

[8, 110, 278, 336, 340]

A: Here's a way to do it with regex
import re
helix = "ACAAGATGCCATTGTCCCCCGGCCTCCTGCTGCTGCTGCTCTCCGGGGCCACGGCCACCGCTGCCCTGCCCCTGGAGGGTGGCCCCACCGGCCGAGACAGCGAGCATATGCAGGAAGCGGCAGGAATAAGGAAAAGCAGCCTCCTGACTTTCCTCGCTTGGTGGTTTGAGTGGACCTCCCAGGCCAGTGCCGGGCCCCTCATAGGAGAGGAAGCTCGGGAGGTGGCCAGGCGGCAGGAAGGCGCACCCCCCCAGCAATCCGCGCGCCGGGACAGAATGCCCTGCAGGAACTTCTTCTGGAAGACCTTCTCCTCCTGCAAATAAAACCTCACCCATGAATGCTCACGCAAGTTTAATTACAGACCTGAA"

iter = re.finditer(r"ATG", helix)
indices = [m.end(0) for m in iter]
print(indices)

Result is [8, 110, 278, 336, 340].
I found this technique is already in Stack Overflow
Just for fun, recoded this as a function that allows you to specify whether you want overlap (following assumes helix is already defined).
import re

def locate(haystack, needle, overlap=False):
    iter = re.finditer(f'(?=' + needle + r')' if overlap else needle, haystack)
    return [m.end(0) for m in iter]

print(locate(helix, 'ATG'))
print(locate(helix, 'CCC', True))

Result:
[8, 110, 278, 336, 340]
[15, 16, 17, 63, 68, 69, 82, 83, 177, 194, 195, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 278, 330]

A: You are changing the value of y and i. i is not defined for each iteration. What is think you are trying to do is,
idx = 0

while idx < len(s) - 2:
    tempStr = s[idx : idx + 3]
    if tempStr == 'ATG':
        print(s.index(idx)+3)
        idx += 3
    else:
        idx += 1

A: There are several errors in your code, you are using y as index in the for loop and then as the string value.
You are incrementing i by 3, so you are checking occurrences of ATG only on indices 0,3,6,... You want to update the index by 1 at the time (which the for loop does for you) and then change the range so it will be len(s)-2.
for i in range(len(s)-2):
    y = s[i : i + 3]
    if y == 'ATG':
        print(i+3)

A: For a one liner (modeled after this answer):
>>> res = [n+3 for n in range(len(s)) if s.find('ATG', n) == n]
>>> res
[8, 110, 278, 336, 340]

tastes like the finger lakes
April 28, 2010 August 30, 2010 / amelia sauter
Homemade hooch in my backyard
EVERY TIME I visit Finger Lakes Distilling in Burdett, New York, I find master distiller Thomas McKenzie hard at work downstairs. Today, in the shadow of the towering, twenty-foot tall copper still and surrounded by dozens of barrels that line the walls, Thomas is coercing the juice from blueberries with a hand-cranked wooden barrel press. His hands are stained a murderous blood red, and indigo streaks mark his face and shirt. He spies the photographer with me. "Don't shoot my britches," says Thomas with a southern accent that curls like molasses, "cuz I got blueberry juice all over 'em."
The air in the building is heavy with the lingering scent of fermenting corn mash. The pervasive, permeating presence of the aroma is much like a grandmother's house that has a distinctive, comforting smell even when nothing is in the oven. I'm particularly excited about my visit today; I don't know if Thomas and president Brian McKenzie (who has the same last name as Thomas, but is no relation) will agree, but for me their announcement this week is one of the most exciting since I first heard the rumors of the opening last July: They finally have a date for their bourbon release.
Finger Lakes Distilling renders me giddy. It's not just the excellent liquor, made with local berries, corn and grapes. It's the idea of a distillery in my own neighborhood. Though they are legally producing liquor, the thought of a still near the edge of the Hector National Forest feels thrilling and naughty, like smoking in the girls' bathroom or, I imagine, growing marijuana hidden between tomato plants in your garden.
Though Finger Lakes Distilling is a classy venture, with architecture and tasting room décor inspired by the distilleries of Scotland, I can't stop myself from calling their product "hooch." Their business is the first of its kind in the Finger Lakes region to focus solely on liquor. Recently relaxed restrictions on farm distilleries, which allow farms to have tasting rooms, combined with the rising popularity of craft spirits have led to a growing trend in New York State: this summer, three more distilleries are slated to open in Brooklyn alone.
As the story goes, Thomas and Brian met three years ago at a distilling conference in Louisville, Kentucky. Thomas comes from a long line of distillers, but he's the first to legally take on the task. His thick Alabama accent conjures up visions of a dilapidated backyard shed that houses a ramshackle still. You can almost taste Thomas' family heritage in all of the liquors here, brought to life by Brian's entrepreneurial energy.
Initially, the distillery released vodka and gin, both made from local grapes, and both of which won Best in Class at the 2009 New York Spirits Awards. The gin, which boasts complex anise and citrus notes, has been a big hit with the public. The wild berry vodka is a perfect addition to a glass of lemonade. They produced sweet liqueurs next (I recommend cassis and raspberry), followed by rye and then grappa. Most recently, the distillery released an exquisite cherry liqueur that tastes like the juice of fresh-picked sour cherries. In my house, we went through three bottles in two weeks (for educational purposes, honest), and I'll be taking another half case home with me today.
What I've been waiting for, though, is Finger Lakes Distilling's bourbon. Like Thomas, I, too, have a history in the world of booze: I come from a long line of devoted whiskey-drinkers. My partner Leah and I have followed the progress of the bourbon with regular visits to the Distillery, as it aged in new charred oak barrels and then moved to second-hand chardonnay barrels from Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars. Our faithful visits have been rewarded with sneak-peek tastings, or perhaps I should call them teasings, since they have only served to feed our impatience. When we had our first nip eighteen months ago, the bourbon was so brilliant, smooth and rich that I asked then why they were waiting to release it. "It needs to a-yage," Thomas answered in his drawl, speaking the word "age" with two syllables. "It's gonna get even better."
And it most certainly has. Sitting with Brian and Thomas on barrels that house aging spirits, I get to taste the bourbon a few weeks before its release. It's more mellow now, rounded, with hints of butterscotch, toasted caramel and rye. This bottle will easily sit on the top shelf with Booker's and Basil Hayden. I ask Thomas how he would describe it. "It tastes like bourbon," he says and we all laugh. Then he elaborates. "It tastes like old-time bourbon."
Thomas explains that in the last fifteen or twenty years, liquor has typically been distilled and aged at higher proofs than it was previously, which allowed producers to fit more in a barrel, in turn reducing storage costs. Instead of aging their bourbon at 115 or 120 proof, Finger Lakes Distilling chose to age it at 100 proof. Brian believes the way the spirit interacts with the wooden barrels is affected by the lower proof, thus resulting in a different flavor.
Thomas disappears for a minute and comes back with a tiny bottle. "Try this," he says, pouring me a splash of the brown liquor. It tastes amazing, different than any whiskey I've had before, though I lack the words to describe how. "Wild Turkey," he says. "Distilled in 1971, bottled in 1978." I wouldn't turn twenty-one for another thirteen years.
Finger Lakes Distilling bourbon is made with 70% corn, 20% rye and 10% malted barley. The corn is not a hybrid, nor is it genetically modified. It is local, open-pollinated corn, and organic, too, which Brian says results in a superior fermentation. Less than 300 bottles will be available, and they suspect it will sell out quickly.
I pose one more question to the guys before I leave. What, I ask, is the essence that haunts every spirit from Finger Lakes Distilling, whether the grape-based vodka and gin, the corn liquor, the rye or the bourbon? It's a mystery, they tell me. Brian thinks it may be a flavor imparted from their still. "Terroir," says Thomas and I make him repeat it and spell it. A term frequently used in winemaking, terroir (pronounced te-wa) is loosely translated from French as "sense of place."
"It's the flavor of the land," says Thomas. I agree. Tastes like the Finger Lakes to me.
On May 1, the Distillery will release the eagerly-awaited bourbon. A 750ml bottle will cost $45. Live music will be provided by Long John and the Tights in the afternoon, and you get a free tasting if you wear a derby hat. Those who arrive unadorned can pay $2 for a tasting, which is credited back if they make a purchase. And if that's not enough to bring you out that day, Thomas adds, "You get to talk with me."
The tasting room at Finger Lakes Distilling is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. More information can be found at www.fingerlakesdistilling.com.

Protein-based materials for bioelectronics: From the single molecular level to 3D structures
Lecturer: Dr. Nadav Amdursky, Invited Speaker

In the course of evolution nature has perfected itself to transfer electrical charges for long distances. Accordingly, much scientific effort has been employed in order to integrate the biological building blocks in bioelectronics devices, or to utilize these building blocks to form new bioinspired materials with superior conductivity properties. Here we present a new biological candidate for the use in electronic devices. We chose serum albumin (SA) as the basic material to work with. SA is the most abundant protein in the serum, and it is the cheapest protein that one can purchase commercially in large quantities. SA is a rather large protein (~67 KDa) and has no role in natural charge transfer chains. We show that while the electrical conductivity via a single SA (in a monolayer configuration) is poor, it can be enhanced by orders of magnitude by doping the protein with conjugated molecules. Following the doping process, the electrical conductivity via SA can be comparable or even superior to natural charge transfer proteins. We further show that SA can form 3D structures, from nm-scaled to macroscopic structures. In this context, we show that SA can self-assemble to form nm-scaled fibrils, thin films, macroscopic tubular-based thick mats and hydrogels. Except the latter, all of the structures can endure heating above 100°C. However, and most importantly, all of the structures can be doped with conductive dopants in order to tune the charge transfer efficiency through the bioinspired material. The ability to use highly cheap biological material with a wide variety of morphologies, that can endure heating, and with tuneable electrical properties, make the SA-based structures an exciting new material for the integration in electronic devices. In our group we focus mainly on its use as a tissue-engineering platform.

We knew going into this photo shoot that we would be competing with many beautiful of images of this lighthouse. Portland Head Light has literally been photographed hundreds of thousands of times. So, in order to present something new, we decided to focus less on the lighthouse and more on the entire scene. Getting a shot this wide required the use of a convex lens (hence the slight horizon distortion). Still, I think the wrap-around effect this produces on the cove is well worth it. This is one of those pictures that needs to be seen and printed BIG to fully appreciate!
Portland Head Light is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. Located on the grounds of Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, this lighthouse attracts thousands of people each year. This historic landmark was first lit in 1791, and remains to this day a functioning aid to navigation.

Android has a dirty little secret — in order to win the title as the "fastest" Android device, the top handset manufacturers are using hardware and software tricks to artificially inflate benchmark scores. According to AnandTech, it's not just one OEM, but almost all of them taking part in these shenanigans as they were rightly called by Apple's own Phil Schiller. Thankfully, this is a scandal that won't tarnish Apple's reputation like it has Samsung's, LG's and HTC's. Read on to find out why.
Apple is protected from this type of trickery because its tight control over both the hardware and the software that run on its devices. When a new iPhone is released, Apple is not competing against other phones running a similar OS. Apple is competing against itself by pitting the new iPhone against older iPhone models. Benchmarks are not relevant as it is expected that the iPhone 5s with an A7 processor will be faster than the iPhone 5 and its A6 processor.
Apple is also known for its laser-like focus on user experience and not hardware specs. The company often touts new hardware enhancements like TouchID, but its promotion focuses on how the technology will make your life easier or better. Detailed hardware specs are not important to Apple, and the company often neglects to list exactly what components are bundled into their phones. You often have to wait for iFixit to tear down a new iPhone before you can find out that the handset ships with 1GB of RAM. Hardware specs are not important and benchmarks are of little concern, so there is no reason for Apple to include code in iOS that pumps up the volume of the CPU when a benchmark app is running on the device.
Samsung, though, is part of a brave, new Android world, which is overly competitive and loosely regulated. Android is open source, and handset manufacturers can modify that code to suit their hardware. This allows them to create UI's like TouchWiz and Sense; it also allows them to add in hacks that deceptively boost benchmarks as shown in the table below. To set their handsets apart from the mass of Android phones, manufacturers need to have the "best specs" or the "fastest performance." This emphasis on being the "biggest" or the "best" is what leads companies to tweak something here and add something there that'll give them a competitive advantage. Thankfully, this is not part of the Apple ethos and hopefully won't ever be.
Jump into to comments if you have something to add to this conversation about the insignificance of iPhone benchmarking and how Apple won't go down the same deceptive path as Samsung and the other Android handset makers.

Compostable bags for fruit and vegetables introduced in Bavaria
On March 15th, in Straubing (Germany), the project "Praxistest Bio-Beutel", aimed at the introduction of compostable bags for fruit and vegetables in some stores of the German supermarket chains EDEKA and REWE, has been presented.
The project has been set up in response to a growing demand from customers and consumers involved for more sustainable packagings that look and perform like traditional ones.
The initiative, of which Novamont is partner, is established jointly by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, the representatives of EDEKA, REWE, the Joint Waste Management Authority of the city and district of Straubing (ZAW-SR), the Bavarian Association for Quality Assurance of Compost (RGK e.V.), CARMEN e.V. (Bavarian coordinating association for renewable raw materials and energy) and the Sachverständigenrat Bioökonomie Bayern (Bavarian experts Commitee on bioeconomy).
An important study will be carried out by the Witzenhausen-Institut, which will analyse the organic waste and compost produced before and after the distribution phase of the compostable bags at the different stores involved , in order to measure the impact of the bags on compost purity.
At the launch event Hubert Aiwanger, Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs, Josef Zellmeier, member of the state parliament representing the Straubing region, Josef Laumer, the district president, Albert Solleder, the deputy mayor of Straubing, as well as Hans Jürgen Honner and Heide Drotleff, owners of the supermarkets participating in the project, were invited.

Business Interruption (BI) insurance is often misunderstood, partly because there is 'a fear of the unknown', but also because this type of insurance differs throughout the world. There are essentially two dominant forms of cover, known as the UK form and the US form. While similar, these two forms both have some stark differences that risk managers and their advisers need to take into account when placing cover.
This document summarises the key differences between the two cover types rather than a comprehensive description of each, and offers guidance to the broker in coming to a decision on what type of cover is more suitable for the client.
To find out more about business interruption insurance around the world, more specifically a comparison of the Gross Profit (GP) and Gross Earnings (GE) policy form, please see attachment.

HARTFORD -- 144 sites across the country had houses rebuilt Saturday including three locations here in Connecticut in part of National Rebuilding Day.
Hartford resident, Debora Washburn, has some problems with her house and after she put all her money towards buying the house, she doesn't have any left over to fix those problems.
"Power is not working in the basement, the toilet is not working and I got leaks up under the sink and I need new windows," said Washburn.
Washburn added, "My money ran out so the stuff they doing is the stuff I intended to do but didn't have the money to do."
People gathered to help rebuild 22 houses in northeast Hartford for low income homeowners, who the majority are either elderly or disabled.
"We change a family's life every time," said volunteer Hugh Haun.
So after the planning in the morning it was time to get to work across six blocks to fix houses like Washburn.
"She's got leaky pipes no electricity in certain rooms no washer," said Haun.
"We're giving a new toilet a new washer that she doesn't know about," said volunteer Justin Pelletier.
The volunteers are making the houses accessible and energy efficient, working on strengthening the neighborhood along with the homes.
"I definitely think Hartford has it and when I look at these homes I see the history and also the families that live in there I can't help but to feel connected," said Danielle Matthews, Program Associate of Rebuilding Together.
And the end result? Priceless.
"Your'e done and the job is over and they come out and they say oh my god and they give you a big hug and a kiss and it makes you feel wonderful you know," said volunteer Brian McCain. "I am very happy and very grateful."


With a strong need for streamlined placement systems across the public housing network, the NSW Government wanted to find a way to improve the way they shared client information and managed vacancies.
The aim of this was to make their operations run as efficiently as possible.
We improved housing placements through implementing a centralised client management system for Housing NSW, the government agency responsible for public and social housing in NSW.
Used by hundreds of housing providers across the state, the system provides visibility of all placements and streamlines people's access to services.
Housing providers can now share client information with each other, see demand and manage vacancies promptly and efficiently, reducing wait times and better serving people in need of housing.


Optimism among small business owners dropped in March, causing the Canadian Federation of Independent Business's (CFIB) Business Barometer index to fall three points.
The index fell to 55.9, which is "one of the worst readings we've seen in the past three years," CFIB vice-president and chief economist Ted Mallett said in a Thursday press release. An index level of about 65 suggests a healthy economy.
Only about 17% of business owners plan to hire full-time staff, and 15% plan to cut back. Plans to increase wages and prices also dropped in March, the CFIB said.
The generally low level of business confidence echoes fears in other parts of the economy, the CFIB said, like lagging consumer demand, rising inventories, trade pressures and an expected slowdown south of the border.
Of small business owners, 43% said their business is in "good shape," but 14% said they're navigating troubled waters.
Nova Scotia and Quebec posted high levels of confidence this month (66.8 and 65.3, respectively) but Ontario and Saskatchewan dropped significantly month-over-month, to 59.5 and 50.8, respectively. Alberta remained the least optimistic province with a reading of 42.1.
Natural resource companies dropped in confidence, falling 5.8 points from February to 38.8, the lowest of any sector. The wholesale industry had the most confidence, at a level of 61.0.

Q: How to validate the Currency String in java Suppose I have a currency String in German format:
String money="1.203.432,25";

I want to check if money is a valid currency value.
"0,00" is valid, "134.20,24" is invalid, "02,23" is invalid and so on. How can I do it in Java?

A: Use a localized number format (or a regex if it's always in German format).
Regex could be something like ^(?:0|[1-9][0-9]{0,2}(?:\.[0-9]{3})*),[0-9]{2}$, with ^ and $ not being necessary when using String#matches() or Matcher#matches().
Number format could be a DecimalFormat like ###,##0.00 or just use NumberFormat.getInstance( Locale.GERMAN ). The problem with number formats, however, is that it allows a number to have leading zeros so if you want to disallow those you could check the first digit for being a zero or not.

A: Maybe the Apache CurrencyValidator is what you are looking for.
public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception {
     BigDecimalValidator validator = CurrencyValidator.getInstance();

     BigDecimal amount = validator.validate("€ 123,00", Locale.GERMAN);

     if(amount == null){
         System.out.println("Invalid amount/currency.");
     }

}

A: This snippet seems to work:
String money="23.234,00";
Pattern p=Pattern.compile("^(?:0|[1-9]\\d{0,2}(?:\\.\\d{3})*),\\d{2}$");
Matcher m=p.matcher(money);
if (m.matches()) System.out.println("valid");
else System.out.println("invalid");

A: Use the following Pattern: "([0-9]{1,3}\.)*[0-9]{1,3}\,[0-9]{2}"
System.out.println("11.118.576.587,58".matches("([0-9]{1,3}\\.)*[0-9]{1,3}\\,[0-9]{2}"));


The CIS community network is a space for communities leaders from CIS supported communities to get together and discuss important topics. Every two months, the network of leaders meets in the CIS to learn about and disucss important topics affecting the country. Topics can include things such as protection of the environment, proposed laws such as the right to food and water, time to commemorate important events and analysis of the current situation in El Salvador.
Once the leaders have attended the meetings, they return to their communities and spread their new knowledge, promoting citizen participation and civic education. The Spanish school often participates for a small portion of the day in order to promote cultural exchange and solidarity.
Below is a summary of one of the community network meetings written by a volunteer, Elisabeth Miller. Thanks Elisabeth. Another one is available here for download.
The CIS community network came together for one of their regular meetings for a workshop about climate change. The session began with introductions followed by a presentation on global climate change in general, to familiarize the participants in terminology and how climate change comes about. Then El Salvador became the focus, looking at environmental problems like deforestation, contamination of fresh water, stronger and more irregular weather patterns, and the rise of ocean levels.
Guest speaker and Agronomist, Ulises Campo, gave the presentation on climate change and applied these themes to developing situations in El Salvador. Here he emphasizes the central belt of active volcanoes in the country which corresponds to areas of coffee cultivation.
In addition, this month honors Archbishop Oscar Romero, as the anniversary of his assassination is on the 24th of March. So after questions and comments for the presentation, attention was turned to Romero's example for the El Salvadorian people.
The community network will meet again in two months for an analysis of social inequality and the economy of El Salvador.

Q: Random integer / occurrences (C++) issues I've been currently stuck on a C++ problem for about an hour and half. Here's the question:
Write a program that generates one hundred random integers between 0 and 9 and displays the count for each number. (Hint: Use rand()
% 10 to generate a random integer between 0 and 9. Use an array of ten integers,
say counts, to store the counts for the number of O's, l 's, . .. , 9's.)
And here's what I have so far. I think I'm pretty close, but I keep on getting "0" for the occurrences (or counts) of each random integer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
const int SIZE = 100;

int main()
{
int integers[SIZE];
int index;
int zero = 0;
int one = 0;
int two = 0;
int three = 0;
int four = 0;
int five = 0;
int six = 0;
int seven = 0;
int eight = 0;
int nine = 0;

cout << "The following 100 integers are random:" << endl;
cout << endl;

srand(time(0));

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    integers[SIZE] = rand() % 10;
    cout << integers[SIZE] << " ";
}

cout << endl;

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 0)
    {
        zero += 1;
    }
}

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 1)
    {
        one += 1;
    }
}

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 2)
    {
        two += 1;
    }
}

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 3)
    {
        three += 1;
    }
}

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 4)
    {
        four += 1;
    }
}

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 5)
    {
        five += 1;
    }
}

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 6)
    {
        six += 1;
    }
}

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 7)
    {
        seven += 1;
    }
}

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 8)
    {
        eight += 1;
    }
}

for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    if (integers[index] == 9)
    {
        nine += 1;
    }
}

cout << "The number of zeros in the random list are " << zero << endl;
cout << "The number of ones in the random list are " << one << endl;
cout << "The number of twos in the random list are " << two << endl;
cout << "The number of threes in the random list are " << three << endl;
cout << "The number of fours in the random list are " << four << endl;
cout << "The number of fives in the random list are " << five << endl;
cout << "The number of sixes in the random list are " << six << endl;
cout << "The number of sevens in the random list are " << seven << endl;
cout << "The number of eights in the random list are " << eight << endl;
cout << "The number of nines in the random list are " << nine << endl;

getch();

return 0;

}

A: You have undefined behaviour because you're using SIZE as the index to your array instead of index:
for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++)
{
    integers[SIZE] = rand() % 10;
    cout << integers[SIZE] << " ";
}

This will access outside the bounds of the array (since the range is from 0 to SIZE-1). Inside the body of the loop, change SIZE to index.
However, I think it would help you to reread your problem statement. Specifically:

Use an array of ten integers, say counts, to store the counts for the number of 0s, 1s, ... , 9s

You are instead using an array to store your random numbers. This is not necessary at all. You do not need to keep track of the generated numbers. You just need to add 1 to the appropriate count and then you can simply discard the random number.
You should simply have an array called counts, where counts[0] stores the number of 0s so far, counts[1] stores the number of 1s, etc. Then you don't need these horrible variables called zero, one, two, and so on. If you ever find yourself defining variable names like that (with increasing numbers in them), then you should probably be using an array instead.

To stabilise the tomato value chain, the government needs to review its policy on triple concentrate tomato paste importation in a bid to boost the implementation of the backward integration agenda, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Sonia Foods Industries Limited, Nnamdi Nnodebe, has said.
Speaking at a forum to reward its Southwest region distributors in Lagos at the weekend, Nnodebe said the recent increase of import tariff on triple concentrate tomato paste will not motivate packaging companies that are planning or already involved in backward integration exercise.
According to him, the increment, coupled with the imposition of additional levy of $1500 per metric tonne will collapse the tomato packing industry.
His words: "I believe the major problem we are having today, based on triple concentrate, is hinged on output of the farmers. Government needs to support, nurture and train farmers on how to apply chemicals on farm to enable their yield per hectare to increase from six tonnes they are getting today to 40 tonnes that is obtainable outside. That is the only way they can be able to sell cheaper to processors. Why processors today are not getting raw materials is because of high cost of fresh tomatoes. But every day you keep on hearing that tomatoes perishes more, which is not true.
Speaking on the motivation to rewards its distributors, Nnodebe said, the reward programme has been designed by the company to appreciate its local customers here in Southwest because the company is also going to do the same to other regions, adding that the distributors have been with the company for a very long time, hence the need to show appreciation.

THE BEST FILMS IN ACTION, DRAMA, HORROR, AND MORE
M. Night Shyamalan's next film will be a sequel to both Split and Unbreakable
Glass will star Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and James McAvoy
by Dominick Suzanne-Mayer
on April 26, 2017, 1:20pm
If he continues at his current pace, M. Night Shyamalan might end up as one of modern Hollywood's greatest redemption stories. (Imagine making that argument to somebody with a straight face right after The Last Airbender was released.) After a steep public decline in the quality of his work in the late aughts/early '10s, Shyamalan returned to the unsettling simplicity of his early work with The Visit, a surprise success. And earlier this year, Split was the rarest of all Hollywood gifts: a genuinely good movie released in the doldrums of January. (It also grossed a clean $137 million on a budget of just $9 million, and doubled that total worldwide.)
Now, the filmmaker will seek to continue this run with something old and something new. If you haven't yet seen Split, this is our warning to you that SPOILERS are dead ahead. And that you should really make some time to see Split.
One of the more interesting facets of Split's climactic twist is how Shyamalan manages to bridge the story of James McAvoy's Dissociative Identity Disorder-afflicted villain with that of Bruce Willis's embattled David Dunn, the protagonist of Shyamalan's revisionist superhero film Unbreakable. Fans of that earlier film have been calling for a continuation of the story between Dunn and Mr. Glass since its release in 2000, and if Shyamalan's recent Tweets are any indication, they'll be getting exactly that.
It's taken 17 years but I can finally answer the #1 question I get, "Are you making a f#&@ing sequel to Unbreakable or what?"
— M. Night Shyamalan (@MNightShyamalan) April 26, 2017
My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film.
The iconic Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn
The incomparable @SamuelLJackson will return as Elijah Price/Mr. Glass
The virtuoso #JamesMcAvoy returns as Kevin Wendell Crumb, Patricia, Dennis, Hedwig, Barry, Jade, Orwell, The Beast, Heinrich, Norma, Pol-
And the prodigy, @AnyaTaylorJoy will return as Casey Cooke
And the film is called GLASS…
Universal Pictures will release #Glass on January 18, 2019 all over the world. How's that for not keeping a secret!
If ever a victory lap was well-deserved, Shyamalan deserves one for surviving at least three projects that would have sunk a less tenacious filmmaker. (And his all came in a row, no less; that run from Lady in the Water to After Earth is still staggering.) Glass now immediately joins the list of 2019's most interesting projects on paper, and Split is currently available for home viewing.

It has been a busy year for initial public offering in America. Through the end of September, there have been 173 IPOs, raising $45.7 billion. The value raised in the first three quarters was 46.5% greater than the same period last year, and more than three times that of 2016, according to PwC track of data.
The strong IPO dynamic has been driven by "continual period of very strong market conditions," PwC deals analyst David Ethridge told Business Insider on Friday, adding that corporate earnings had their best results ever in the second quarter, with S&P 500 companies earning $38.65 per share, and consumer confidence surging to 18-year high in September.
"People have had a long period of time to look at the marketing, say this is going to continue and let's get ready to go public," Ethridge said.
Breaking down the sectors, year-to-date IPO activity was led by pharma and life sciences – predominately biotech firms, with 55 IPOs raising $6.8 billion. Technology, media, and telecom companies also boomed the IPO markets, with 38 offerings raising $15 billion, according to PwC.
Ethridge noted that international companies have been piling into US markets. In the technology sector, more than half of the 38 IPOs are non-US companies, and 11 of them came from China – despite escalating trade tensions. This suggests that "globally people are still looking at the US as the place where they can find investors that are willing to pay for grow," Ethridge said.
Domestically, Elanco Animal Health had the biggest IPO, raising $1.74 billion in August. Greensky was the second largest US IPO this year, raising $1.01 billion.
And while 2018 has been a banner year for IPOs, PwC expects more to come in the near future. A number of companies looking to go public have sped up the pace of their IPO preparations, with investors beginning to anticipate a slowdown in the global economy as inflation starts creeping higher and the trade war with China intensifies, PwC said.
Here's a snapshot of how the 16 largest domestic IPOs – all worth at least $500 million – have performed this year.
