Paris: Gare de l'Est trains to remain severely disrupted after 'act of sabotage'
Trains in and out of one of Paris' biggest stations will remain severely disrupted on Wednesday after an act of sabotage halted all services.
Updated: 24 January 2023 19:46 CET

Traffic from Gare de l'Est, which serves routes to Germany and eastern France, and is a key local train commuter hub for the capital's eastern outskirts, was cut for the entire day on Tuesday, except for a handful of local services, operator SNCF said.
Although services will restart on Wednesday, SNCF says only around one third of normal services will run – anyone who has a train booked is advised to check the SNCF website or SNCF Connect app for updates.
A fire broke out at a signals point in the small hours ahead of the Tuesday morning rush hour, in what was first thought to be an accident but which subsequently turned out to be arson.
"This was a fire started deliberately," a spokeswoman for SNCF told AFP.
There was no immediate indication as to who the perpetrators were or what their intention was in targeting a small but crucial piece of infrastructure.
Transport minister Clément Beaune said 48 bundled cables had been destroyed, housing 600 individual electrical cables.
"It's an act of deliberate vandalism," Anne-Marie Palmier, head of SNCF's Paris region network, told reporters at the station.
The operator filed a criminal complaint with police.
Prosecutors in the eastern town of Meaux said they had launched a criminal investigation against persons unknown for deliberately causing damage and endangering the lives of others.
The fire was discovered near the regional station of Vaires, east of Paris, where 48 cables were damaged after their protective casing was forced open, she said.
A railway worker discovered the fire and called police at 4.30 am.
The cables' function was to transmit data to signalling posts. "Safety conditions can no longer be guaranteed," Vaires said.
Dozens of network specialists were on site to repair the damage, Beaune said.
Among the fast TGV trains cancelled were the services to the eastern French cities of Colmar, Nancy and Reims; to Frankfurt and Stuttgart in Germany; and to Luxembourg.
Some TGV departures, however, were diverted to the nearby Gare de Nord station, SNCF said.
Passengers unable to travel were invited to re-book their journeys or have their tickets reimbursed.
"I'm not sure I'll be able to make it home today and I have to work tomorrow," said Sylvie Rousseau, 58, who lives in Nancy. "It's going to be a bit stressful."
Gautier Milewski, a 27-year-old bookseller, said he could see the bright side of the situation.
"It's important not to let this spoil your day. It's an adventure and I like adventures," he told AFP.
Beaune told reporters that what he called "a scandalous act of vandalism" should be punished "severely".
The minister said investigators had found traces of petrol "at two key points" at the site of the fire.
The incident was "quite extraordinary, very serious", he said.
Gare de l'Est is the fifth-busiest station of the French capital's seven railway hubs, after Gare Saint-Lazare, Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon and Gare Montparnasse.
Nearly 28 million people used Gare de l'Est last year, according to SNCF data.
TRAVEL NEWSCRIMETRAIN TRAVEL
France extends Covid tests for travellers from China
Frenchman extradited to US on hacking charges pleads not guilty
France on Saturday said it had extended until February 15th Covid tests for travellers arriving from China due to the "evolving situation".
The tests had initially been decreed until January 31.
Since the start of this year, travellers aged over 11 and coming from China to France have had to present a negative test taken 48 hours before the flight to board the plane.
Random testing will be carried out and anyone testing positive will have to self-isolate, the French authorities said, adding that everyone above six years old would have to wear face masks on the plane.
Several countries had slapped fresh travel regulations on travellers from China after Beijing decided to relax strict virus restrictions.
China has said that the number of daily Covid-19 deaths has fallen by nearly 80 percent since the start of the month.
A wave of virus cases has washed over the world's most populous nation since Beijing abruptly ended its zero-Covid policy last month.
Beijing's figures are believed to only represent a fraction of the true toll, given China's narrow definition of a Covid death and official estimates that swathes of the population have been infected.

Last chance for this year's persimmons!
Persimmons have become one of my favorite smoothie fruits. Their sweet and mild flavor goes with many combinations. Unfortunately persimmon season is winding down, (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere), so before they're gone for the year I decided to buy 5 lbs to freeze for future use. I like persimmons in the pumpkin or sweet potato pie smoothie, as well as in other random combinations. Lately I've been simply pairing them with just cranberries or pomegranate.
I've never frozen persimmons before but I think it will work well. I cut them into quarters and placed them on cookie sheets in the freezer. Once partially frozen I transferred them to a freezer bag, and now I'll be able to have persimmon smoothies throughout the year.
Blend on high until smooth and enjoy.
*I use frozen blueberries, and I've generally found the "wild" ones to taste best.
Thanks for this post. I see by the photos that there is no need to peel the persimmons. I tried using them for smoothies but have had a dickens of a time removing the skin. Now why I thought I needed to do that I don't know… A messy business but worth it due to the amazing sweetness. You've made life easier.
Good point, I forgot to mention that I don't peel them. The skin is a little tough, but a blender like a Vitamix will cut it into tiny enough pieces that it is pretty smooth. A less powerful blender would probably leave more texture from the skin.

5 Teams to watch In the NCAA Tourney
mward
From cbssports.com
Written by TJ Meredith & Media by Mike Ward.
From Wildcatbluenation.com
At the end of the first weekend, going into the Sweet Sixteen, why not highlight five teams to keep your eye on during for the NCAA tournament? This is a year that there is not one dominant team, like last year's Kentucky, but the remaining 16 teams have a realistic shot to cut down the nets April 8th. So here are five teams to keep an eye on that could either make a deeper run, or surprise some people:
Louisville: A lot of college basketball analysts have picked them to win it all this year. Before dominating their first two opponents of the tournament, Rick Pitino's team were on a 10-game winning streak and won the Big East conference tournament. Needless to say, you would not be ill-advised to root for Pitino and company. This team has two outstanding guards in Peyton Siva and Russ Smith. Smith is the team's leading scorer averaging 18.2 ppg. They also have a very strong and physical front line led by Gorgui Dieng. Dieng is an excellent shot blocker and rebounder, who also averages 10 ppg. Louisville also is one of the best defensive teams in the nation; they do a very good job of deflecting the ball and making it miserable for the offense. Last but not least, Louisville was in the final four last year, and although they did not win the championship, that run definitely proved they have what it takes to make a run again. They are the popular pick for good reason, so look for the Cardinals to make a similar run and return to the final four.
Miami: The Hurricanes have been one of the most exciting stories this year in college basketball. After sneaking by an underrated Illinois team, the round of sixteen will prove how good these guys truly are. Shane Larkin is a star, and his supporting class is experienced and hungry for a final four berth. Not a single player on this team has played in one NCAA tournament game before last Friday, and it showed against the less talented Illini team. This raises a lot of speculation going into next weekend, but their coach Jim Larranaga, will have them ready. Larranaga took an 11 seed, George Mason, to the final four in 2007. Consequently, he knows what it takes and will have the Hurricanes ready to play. If this Miami team can take on the challenge of the big stage and act like they have been there before, watch out because they are as talented as any this year.
Big Ten: Deservedly so, the Big Ten gets their own category. The Big Ten was hands down the best conference this past season and beat up on each other over the course of the season, and managed to get 4 teams into the second weekend of the tournament. In each region there is a Big Ten team capable of making a run to the final four. In the Midwest, you have Michigan State. How could you bet against Izzo? He has a very talented point guard in Keith Applying, and oh boy, do they know how to defend. Izzo will have his boys ready to go, and are more than capable of making a final four run. Then you go down to the West region, which has Ohio State. Ohio State is one of the hottest teams in the NCAA, coming off a huge Big Ten tournament championship and last-minute win against Iowa State. Aaron Craft has started to become the second scoring option behind Deshaun Thomas. However, his leadership has shown in the Buckeyes' first two games. Do not be surprised by Craft or the rest of the Buckeyes–they are very dangerous. Now onto the South region, which has a very up and down, but talented Michigan team. Trey Burke could be the best player in the country, and is capable of leading a team though the remainder of the region and into the final four. Michigan was 6-6 in their last 12 games before the tournament and is quite inconsistent on the defensive end, but their 20-1 start to the season and dominant showing against VCU demonstrated how good they can be. In the East region, the overall number 1 seeded Hoosiers are the team to beat. Indiana has been in the top 5 the whole season and are poised for a National Championship run. The Hoosiers show necessary NCAA tournament resiliency against Khalif Wyatt and the Temple Owls. To me, the Hoosiers and Ohio State have the best chance to win a title out of the Big Ten teams. Indiana has two national player of the year candidates in Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo, and can defend with the best of them. When Zeller and Oladipo are playing well and being aggressive on offense, there might not be a better team than Indiana out there.
Well there you have it, five'ish teams to watch in the second weekend of the 2013 NCAA tournament. With a tournament that has been so unpredictable thus far, do not be surprised if like Georgetown or Gonzaga, that these five'ish teams get upset in the second weekend. However, that is the beauty of this game. In fact, I would be overjoyed if a number of the teams above were overthrown. That being said, continue to enjoy what is and has always been the best part of the month of March in America.

After wooing Marathi audiences, Ravi Jadhav plays a new tune with 'Banjo'
Bolstered by his years in advertising and a string of successes in his native language, the filmmaker is looking to put his stamp on Hindi filmdom.

Ravi Jadhav is betraying signs of fatigue combined with fervour, the state of being highly caffeinated and severely under-rested – not surprising since his first Hindi movie is just days away.
Jadhav orders a cappuccino anyway as he talks about his September 23 release Banjo, the challenges of conquering a new language cinema, and the lessons from his years in advertising. Banjo stars Riteish Deshmukh as a small-time musician who strikes gold with some help from Nargis Fakhri's American DJ. "I have been wanting to make Banjo since 2010, after I made my first movie Natrang," Jadhav said. "Banjo parties have been around for so many years, but they have never been seen as cool. These street musicians keep playing something or the other, but I never see them being commemorated on a stage or praised in public. They are not on social media, and are seen as taporis [ruffians] rather than rock stars, and I want to change that perception."
That should be a cinch for Jadhav, one of Marathi cinema's superstar directors with a proven ability to handle a range of subjects (folk theatre, biopics, coming of age, star-crossed romance). Jadhav has set Banjo in Worli in south-central Mumbai, where he lived until he was a teenager. Like his previous films, Banjo features handsome production design, real locations, a high-profile music score (by Vishal-Shekhar) and a subject that is similar to as well as different from Jadhav's previous films. The plot of the Eros Entertainment production can be summed up in a single sentence – underdog becomes top dog – like his previous movies (Natrang: small-town wrestler becomes a tamasha artist to support himself; Balgandharva: a biopic of the renowned stage performer; Balak Palak: a comedy about sex education for adolescents; Timepass and Timepass 2: the seriocomic adventures of lovers from different classes and backgrounds.)
"A good story has to be very simple, even though the presentation and exhibition can be complicated," the 44-year-old writer and director said. "Conversely, you should not take a complicated story and try to make it simple. Banjo too has a simple message: 'Pet se dil tak' (from the stomach to the heart."
'Banjo'.
Before he became a director, Jadhav had spent several years worrying about communicating simply, crispy and effectively. He worked as a graphic designer and filmmaker in advertising, rising to a high position in the agency FCBUlka. Jadhav worked in advertising during the 2000s, when copy and commercials tried to forge direct, heart-felt and sometimes sentimental links with potential consumers and a tagline carried the import of an ancient saying. Banjo's streetsmart dialogue is by Jadhav, who co-writes his Marathi films, and his former advertising colleagues Kapil Sawant and Nikhil Mehrotra.
"Films gave me a bigger canvas to express myself, but advertising taught me a few important things – for instance, every scene in my film is like a complete ad," Jadhav said. "Take Natrang – every scene is complete in itself. Since I also worked on jingles, music plays a very important role in my films."
Like advertising, Jadhav's movies are also about summarising the world through key moments. "My films are based on observation – what is happening all around, what is going on in the minds of people, how are these people to be targetted, how is a film to be marketed," he said. "Ideas are all around us, and when I see an ad or a movie I like, I ask myself, why didn't I think of this? I know these people, I have met them, so why haven't I done something on them? That's how Banjo came about."
'Natrang'.
That is also how his next movie is coming about. Jadhav is in the news for working on a biopic of Shivaji, which will star Deshmukh as the seventeenth-century warrior king, but he is also working on a potentially more interesting subject. It is called Nude, and it is about the models who drop their clothes and inhibitions for art students to earn a living. "It's a small film, one I have wanted to work on for a while," said Jadhav, who studied graphic design at the JJ School of Art in Mumbai. "The movie stars Kalyani Mule in the lead role along with Chhaya Kadam. I will not show nudity but will talk about it, just like we did not mention the word sex once in Balak Palak even though the film was about the need for teenagers to be given sex education."
Will the sweet-and-pungent flavour that makes his Marathi movies do distinctive survive in Hindi? The subject will endure, Jadhav said, since "Street music sounds are not restricted to Maharashtra."
Several Indian language filmmakers have crossed over to the Hindi medium with varying degrees of success, including Mani Ratnam, Priyadarshan, Shankar and SS Rajamouli, and Jadhav might have joined that list earlier itself, after the success of Natrang. "I got my first Hindi offer after Natrang itself, but it was to make a film yet again on folk tradition, which I didn't want to do," Jadhav said. "My primary audience is Maharashtrian, but when I work in Hindi, I am talking to many people across different states, with different definitions of music and heroism. It's the difference between giving a lecture in your own home and giving a lecture in public. It is possible to forget these considerations too, but you should never forget who the story is for. If someone tells me a vulgar joke, I can't share it with my family – you need to know who to say to whom."
'Balgandharva'.
Jadhav made two of his hits, Natrang and the handsomely mounted Balgandharva, for less than Rs two crores each, but he is cautious at making too much of the Marathi-Hindi divide. Both industries operate out of the same megapolis, but they are vastly different in the kind of worlds they explore and the budgets spent on recreating these worlds. One easy explanation is that Hindi cinema looks outward towards the rest of the country and the world, while Marathi cinema looks over its shoulder. A simpler explanation is that any analysis of the supposed highs of recent Marathi cinema is grossly incomplete.
"Only one or two films like Sairat and Timepass do well every year and go to festivals, but what about the rest?" Jadhav said. "In Hindi too, the percentage is the same – only a few films really work. Marathi cinema is being talked about now only because the media has expanded in the last five years – more people are watching films, the TV industry has picked up, so have the papers and radio."
The attention being given to Marathi cinema in non-Marathi media has certainly made directors like Ravi Jadhav popular. The next logical step for the better-known names is to make a movie in Hindi, which is just what he has done.
Ravi Jadhav.

Clad in black mariachi uniforms with green trim, the young members of Mariachi Juvenil Alisal took the stage at the California State Fair in Sacramento on July 22 and were greeted by an unfamiliar sight.
A packed, cheering audience of thousands anticipating their performance inside sunny state fair's PG&E Center Stage as part of the Inaugural Youth Mariachi Competition.
Mariachi Juvenil Alisal was the only group composed entirely of elementary school students to compete in the Inaugural Youth Mariachi Competition. In all, ten groups from across the state participated. A $5,000 grand prize was on the line, along with the chance to perform with renown Mariachi Vargas de Decatitlan on the State Fair mainstage.
In the end, Mariachi Tesoro de San Fernando of Los Angeles County took first place.
Mariachi Chavez Juvenil of San Joaquin County came in second. Third place went to Mariachi Juvenil de San Diego.
Madrigal said the audience was happy to see younger representation and appreciated that all of the students came from migrant family backgrounds, which is one of the conditions for program participation.
Hector Rico, superintendent of the Alisal Union School District, went along for the trip. He was proud of the students, all of whom are enrolled in the district.
While the group did not finish in the top three, they were treated like winners all weekend long said Danny Andrade, administrative director for Alisal Center for the Fine Arts, which helped sponsor the trip and program.
Students also got wristbands to ride all of the rides at the state fair.
That feeling of surreality was soon replaced by another unfamiliar vibe in the wake of their performance.
"After the show," Madrigal said, "One kid said 'It feels pretty great to be famous.'"

This is it? Can we go? But where do we have to go? How to call the taxi driver we reserved in advance? Why is it so expensive? Where are you going again? Why are you screaming at me? Where's the taxi? How on earth should we have found this bloody black Kia when it's a grey Toyota?
Are there always traffic jams in Brooklyn on Sunday afternoons? May I let our cat out of the cage to sit on my lap while we're going? Do you still love me?
Had my great-grandfather been to Manhattan, anyway? Did he feel the greatness which I'm feeling now? Did he breathe the air that I'm breathing now? Did you expect that Manhattan would smell of pizza?
Can you see the tops of skyscrapers from beneath? Why are all the drivers honking immediately when it's a red light? Don't you think that the sidewalks on the avenues look like runways? Do you believe in us?
How could I be so naive to consider that my English is 'all right'? How many times did we forget to eat today? Why do I feel like a baby asking, asking, asking? How quickly should we grow in our new life? How to stay strong?
Why did my great-grandfather return back home after years in the US? Why are there bridges between Brooklyn and Manhattan and tunnels between Manhattan and Jersey? How deep are we?
How can a trip from JFK to Jersey City by taxi cost like a trip from Moscow to NY by plane? How can a week in a cheap motel in Jersey cost like two weeks in a three star hotel in Greece?
How could I thank my great-grandfather for his return, without which I wouldn't have been born? What are we going to do tomorrow, on our second day in the USA? How many questions do we have to answer? How to not fall asleep before sunset? What's next?
Eat it while it's hot. Drink it while it's cold. Life isn't short, it's merely quick.
Do not wait. Go on red. At everything. You don't need permission to do what you believe in.
Do it the way nobody ever did. That's how this town has been built, and how it works.
Fail. Fail again. Fail more. Fail better. Nobody became perfect at once. Furthermore, there should be something incredibly stupid in your memoir.
Do not wait. Hurry up. Try, discover, share. The most exciting Instagram accounts belong to those who live exciting.
Tell her or him or them both that they look awesome. Your English is terrible? Come on, terrible is only when your mouth's shut.
Do not wait. Think. Think small. Think big. Think different. Make believe. Be stupid. Go beyond. Keep walking. Challenge everything. Just do it.
Learn English. Speak English. Listen to English. Read English. Think English. Even eat in English.
Do not wait. Sort garbage. Get a free Library card. Download a Subway app. Make the worst purchase at Best Buy. Wear bright sneakers with a suit. Surround yourself with people that are smarter than you.
Be inquisitive. Be interesting. Be awake for thirty hours. Volunteer. Buy an extremely expensive painting in SoHo. Then buy a used book for five bucks in SoHo.
Meet Hugh Jackman on a street. Eat pizza lying on grass in the park. Adopt a dog. Act responsibly. Love New York but respect the city too.
Create your own list. Do not wait.

Better Call Saul Season 4 finale — "Winner"

Take a moment to share:
Better Call Saul Season 4 Finale
Not many of the characters can be considered a Winner in Better Call Saul 410. The true winners in this case are the audience, who was treated to some great television, and the owners of the licensing rights to the two songs featured in the karaoke opening scene. Let's hope the Television Academy is paying attention and this season becomes a Winner of some Emmy Awards.
Jimmy McGill Takes a Giant Step Toward Becoming Saul Goodman
Jimmy truly did have a "total eclipse of the heart," pretending to cry and be sad when really he just wanted to manipulate the Board to give him his law license back. It was unclear why he wasn't made to wait a full year to re-apply, and it cost him a pretty penny because he apparently paid for the memorial Reading Room. Could he have made $23,000 by selling drop phones? We're not sure about that, either. He may have won the right to practice law again, but it seems that it probably cost him the love and respect of Kim Wexler.

The lyrics of Winner Takes It All, by Abba, the karaoke song Jimmy and Chuck sing together in the opening flashback scene, seem almost to have been written for Jimmy McGill's character.
I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
I was a fool,
Jimmy even tries to corrupt one of the young scholarship applicants. Or maybe he thinks he's trying to help her.
Standing at Chuck's grave doesn't make him cry. Reading Chuck's letter doesn't make him cry. The tears in these scenes are pretend tears. The real tears come when he faces the fact that the real lawyers won't ever accept him because of the mistakes he's made. Sitting in the car after the scholarship board meeting, he identifies with "the shoplifter," realizing that the other lawyers see her only by that label despite the hard work she's done to turn her life around. He's damaged goods, and no matter how much he may deserve a second chance, no matter how hard he's worked to redeem himself, they will never invite him into their inner circle, and he resents this more than anything.
Kim says that, no matter what happens in the hearing, she's with him. We're not sure if that's true, and worse, Jimmy probably doesn't believe it, even if it is true. This seems to be the deep down reason their relationship is doomed.
Mike Makes his Commitment to Gus More Permanent
Mike was the one who vouched for Werner. He hopes he can convince Gus to go easy on Werner, and it probably would have worked if it hadn't been for Lalo.
It's unclear what Lalo is looking for, exactly, as he spies on the Los Pollos Hermanos warehouse, but he hits the jackpot. Now he's on Mike's trail as well as that of Gus, and there's no telling what trouble he can cause with the little he was able to learn from the Travel Wire office's surveillance tape and his short phone conversation with Werner. We have to assume he's smart enough not to have left behind evidence that will help the police learn who killed the young clerk there, and we're hoping there's no way he can make it look as if Mike may have been the killer.
The situation did give us an opportunity to watch the amazing Mike Ehrmantrout improvise a clever way to lose Lalo. It also first fakes us out, when we see the gun in the glove box, and later we realize it wasn't a red herring, it was a foreshadowing that the gun would be used later in the episode.
Mike and Werner's last scene is heart-breaking. But it gives us insight into the kinds of choices Mike will have to make as he continues in the employ of Gus Fring.
Gus Continues His Game of Chess
After all of the German workmen have presumably been sent back to Germany, Gus shows Gale the location that will become the superlab. Gale is suitably impressed, and we see the notebook he is famous for from later in Breaking Bad, the one that gives Hank a clue as to Heisenberg's true identity.
Gale is ready to throw together some kind of Rube Goldberg contraption for ventilation and start cooking immediately, even though the lab is far from finished. Gus tells him, again, that the time is not right. Poor Gale is going to have to be even more patient than the audience, since he isn't seen in Breaking Bad until the middle of the third season. Gus might have been much better off had he let Gale take over the lab now instead of waiting. But Gus is a patient man and wants to do things right. He's got a long-term goal, and it seems he's still got a ruthless adversary in Lalo.
Other Notable Details from the Better Call Saul finale
Kim is clearly confused and very disappointed at Jimmy's lack of real feelings. We're hoping we learn more about her back story and ultimate fate in season 5.
Werner was a gentle soul. He clearly didn't realize the seriousness of his misbehavior, and yet, once he realized his fate, he quickly accepted it and his final act was to do what he could to make it easier for Mike. This situation is much more tragic because of it.
Nacho is one of the characters whose fate we don't know, as he's not shown in Breaking Bad. We assume he hasn't yet made his escape, but we didn't see him in this episode, so we're left wondering how Gus and Lalo's chess game will affect him in season 5.

Or ribonucleic acid, is a nucleic acid, similar to DNA. It transmits the genetic information in DNA from the nucleus, out into the cell's cytoplasm, where it's used as a template to construct proteins. Like DNA, it's a long-chain molecule of nucleotide building blocks, but the repeating units in RNA contain ribose, rather than deoxyribose, and form only single-strand molecules, rather than a double-stranded helix.

U.S. Ministry Providing Food, Bibles to Displaced Nigerian Refugees
By Mission Network News on December 8, 2016 1 Comment
Nigeria (Mission Network News) — The Nigerian government says the U.N. is making a mountain out of a molehill when they describe the severity of the hunger crisis in northeast Nigeria. Last Friday, the U.N. launched a $1 billion funding appeal for the food shortage in three Nigerian states. Just over five million Nigerians face food insecurity and 400,000 children are at risk of starvation.
Greg Kelley with World Mission was just at an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Adamawa State in northern Nigeria. There, he witnessed the need firsthand.
"There are 1,600 people [in the camp], half of them children who have lost everything. Many of the children are orphaned. [There are] very few men. We're being told that Boko Haram has killed most of the men represented in this camp, so just the basic necessities of survival are needed — food, clothing, detergent." Greg Kelley with World Mission was just at an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Adamawa State in northern Nigeria. There, he witnessed the need firsthand.

Ихтиозы (от  «рыба») — это группа наследственных заболеваний кожи, которая характеризуется нарушениями ороговения. Различают несколько клинических форм, обусловленных различными группами мутировавших генов, биохимический дефект которых окончательно не расшифрован. Придают большое значение недостаточности витамина А, эндокринопатиям (гипофункции щитовидной железы, половых желёз). Синонимы: кератома диффузная. Патологический процесс — гиперкератоз — приводит к появлению на коже чешуек, напоминающих рыбью чешую. Ороговение выражено в различной степени — от едва заметной шероховатости кожи, до тяжелейших изменений эпидермиса, порой несовместимых с жизнью.

Некоторые разновидности
Существует много форм ихтиоза и целый ряд редких синдромов(даже смотря на то,что в любом случае ихтиоз-и так достаточно редкое заболевание), включающих ихтиоз как один из симптомов, к примеру, Синдром Ноя-Лаксовой .
Дерматологи различают, по крайней мере, двадцать восемь различных форм заболевания-одни с них на данный момент:
 Обыкновенный ихтиоз ;
 Х-сцепленный ихтиоз;
 Ламеллярный ихтиоз ;
 Ихтиозиформная эритродермия буллёзная (Брока) ;
 Болезнь Дарье — Уайта ;

Наиболее тяжёлые формы:
 Ихтиоз Арлекина ;
 Синдром Ноя-Лаксовой .

Этиопатогенез
Все формы ихтиоза обостряются зимой под влиянием холодного сухого воздуха. Летом, в тёплую влажную погоду, отмечается улучшение. В тропическом климате заболевание может протекать бессимптомно, но при переезде на север оно обязательно проявится или обострится.
Для постановки диагноза достаточно клинической картины.

Возникновение и развитие болезни
В основе многих форм ихтиоза лежат мутации либо нарушения экспрессии генов, кодирующих различные формы кератина. При ламеллярном ихтиозе наблюдается недостаточность трансглутаминазы кератиноцитов и пролиферативный гиперкератоз (гиперплазия базального слоя эпидермиса, ускоренное продвижение кератиноцитов от базального слоя к поверхности кожи). Для Х-сцепленного и обыкновенного ихтиоза характерен ретенционный гиперкератоз (упрочение связей между клетками и задержка отторжения роговых чешуек) и увеличение потерь воды через кожу. При Х-сцепленном ихтиозе наблюдается недостаточность стеролсульфатазы. При эпидермолитическом ихтиозе нарушение дифференцировки кератиноцитов и продукция дефектного кератина приводят к вакуолизации верхних слоёв эпидермиса, образованию пузырей и утолщению рогового слоя (это — акантокератолитический гиперкератоз).

Лечение
 Увлажнение рогового слоя эпидермиса. Мягкость рогового слоя эпидермиса зависит от содержания в нём воды. Для увлажнения кожи принимают ванны, после чего смазывают кожу вазелином. Задержанию воды в роговом слое способствуют также кремы с мочевиной.

 Применением кератолитических средств. Эффективны препараты, содержащие пропиленгликоль, борный вазелин и молочную кислоту; их применяют без окклюзионных повязок. Хорошо помогает препарат, содержащий салициловую кислоту (6 %), пропиленгликоль (60 %) и этанол (20 %), который используют с окклюзионной повязкой. Молочная и гликолевая кислоты уменьшают шелушение. Эффективны препараты, содержащие мочевину (2—20 %), некоторые из них содержат и молочную кислоту.

 Ретиноиды: изотретиноин, ацитретин иэт-ретинат принимают внутрь; они эффективны при всех формах ихтиоза. Ретиноиды — это витамин А и его аналоги, которые широко применяются для лечения большой группы кожных заболеваний. В тяжёлых случаях ретиноиды принимают длительно, время от времени делая перерывы. За больным постоянно наблюдают, чтобы вовремя выявить токсическое действие препарата.

Vintage-Class Car Wins V.S.C.C. Measham Rally
W.B.
Big Entry. Victory Goes to Twin-Cam Sunbeam
This year's Vintage Sports Car Club's Measham Rally attracted the excellent entry of 83 cars, of which 29 were vintage vehicles, seven were "post.-vintage thoroughbreds," and 47 were visitors' cars. The visitors' cars included a Standard Vanguard, a Sunbeam-Talbot, a Morgan Plus Four, lots of M.G.s, a Ford Prefect, Austin A90, a large Humber saloon, an XK120 coupé with knock-off wire wheels and extra louvres in its bonnet, but a single exhaust pipe, Sunbeam Alpine, and even a Dellow. The club defies superstition, for D. A. Thirlby's Frazer-Nash bore No. 13!
At that hotel on the remarkable hill-crest, the "Longmynd" at Church Stretton, Salop, weirdly-garbed men and women contrasted sharply with the feminine charm of the lady officials on duty there, as competitors and marshals assembled for "briefing." The vintage cars assembled made a brave array. There was R. W. Fitzwilliam's beautiful blue 2.3 Le Mans Alfa-Romeo, he and his passenger with their heads encased in strange bags the better to combat the furies of nature. Sinclair had a 1930 1 3/4-litre Alfa-Romeo coupé, two open O.M.s were present, and 12/50 "Alvi" were there in numbers, from staid touring versions to throaty squirts models.
At 9 p.m. the first competitor moved off down the steep, rough road onto A49. We followed M. Vaughan's 1925 14/40 Delage boat-bodied tourer for some miles and were intrigued to find that it held an easy 60 m.p.h. and went, round corners rather faster than we, in the warmth and comfort of a Standard Vanguard, cared to go.
To digress for a moment. On the journey to the start we had made a mild detour in Hereford to visit an early Standard light car which in 1931 retired from the active life to the spacious barn it now occupies, after which we had hurried on to Ludlow to dine very satisfyingly, if rather expensively, at the Feathers Hotel, which dates back to 1521 and the dining-room of which is spotless and bright with gleaming brass.
From there, we estimated, it was but half-an-hour's run to the start. Alas, we had ahead of its the father and mother of all road detours, which about doubled the mileage. Coming back we found one turn of this detour either not marked at all, or badly marked, so that we became temporarily lost. Consequently the Vanguard arrived at the hill-test, where cars had to re-start on a 1-in-4 gradient and were timed round a left-hand bend and up a long haul to the summit, with the event well in progress. We could not get sufficient wheel-grip to reverse uphill and the lane ahead of us was blocked by about 60 vehicles. Fortunately the Vanguard obligingly ran up the grass verge, leaving ample room for the rally to proceed, and as the scoring-marshal found its bright rear illuminations useful in his work we were soon forgiven.
Considering the nature of the gradient most of the cars, vintage and modern alike, performed very well indeed. Certainly Arthur Jeddere Fisher's Lancia Lambda saloon had to be pushed all the way up, and he was fearful for the temperature of its clutch lining, while. C. J. C. Larkin's 1935 Aston Martin saloon just wouldn't look at the gradient. One 4 1/2-1itre Bentley elected not to attempt the re-start and a Ford Consul came to rest, while a modern Riley saloon had a second go at re-starting. But on the whole the cars made light work of what looked a formidable task, and M. W. Blackburn even re-appeared for a second ascent, his open 1930 Alvis Silver Eagle climbing impeccably on both occasions. The Italian cars mostly climbed slowly on high-ratio axles and one 12/50 Alvis got up, but was only just perceptibly moving at the summit. An old Rolls-Royce Twenty had no trouble at all, and an old Ford Prefect got up splendidly. The Dellow driver got rather excited. A Ford Zodiac with ballast in its boot had no trouble.
From here the competitors took a difficult and lengthy route to a strict time schedule along roads described by one driver as "interesting." We made for the compulsory one-hour stop at Ternhill, which involved crossing a deserted Wolverhampton at 1.30 a.m. Never at our best at this hour, we found zebra-crossing lights which blinked, not in unison but in sequence, a thought disturbing. At the café at Ternhill John Vessey arrived in his immaculate Lancia Lambda tourer to take efficient charge of the control, and G. G. McDonald, on whose capable shoulders much responsibility rested due to the unavoidable absence of the clerk of the course J. W. Rowley, came in his Bentley to see that all was well, before setting off to look at the remaining check-points on the 80 miles of route still to be covered.
It was soon evident that the event was proving difficult, for competitors generally were very overdue, although the night, save for occasional dampness, was fine, if cold, and the threat of snow, ice, fog and torrential rain had not, fortunately, materialised.
First to arrive. was Peter Binns in his O.M., but he was not optimistic about his chances. Second to arrive, at high speed, sliding sideways to a standstill, was P. W. McNaughton in his 1926 twin-cam 3-litre Sunbeam disguised as a modern "special." O. H. Wilson-Spratt retired his beautiful little 1939 aerodynamic Fiat 1,100 saloon (FLY 1, re-registered) with a blown gasket, although he appeared later at the finish. T. H. Hesketh also decided to retire his 1928 12/50 Alvis saloon, and some cars didn't get as far as this. Stories began to circulate in the warm café. Unfortunately R. H. Stretton's beautiful 1926 12/50 Alvis had failed to take a corner and, jumping a bridge, had overturned in a field, suffering considerable damage and its driver a broken collar-bone. A. J. Fisher, already late, stopped to help and J. R. F. Boulton's competing Triumph Renown saloon was pressed into service as an ambulance, to the detriment of his schedule. While all the excitement was at its height M. W. Bendell dropped his Ford Ten Special over the same bridge but without injury. We heard, too, of how another rally altogether became mixed with the Measham one, so that a "pirate" competitor drove up to a V.S.C.C. check-point and rendered a route-book none of the marshals could understand. A V.S.C.C. competitor also paused at a cross-roads to check his position when another car drew up alongside. "I'm lost, too, can we compare notes?" inquired its driver. But when route cards were compared they were found to be entirely different — an unnerving happening for both parties at 3 a.m.! The R.A.C. seems justified in saying that the National Fixture List is very full!! There. was also the young lady who threw herself from a Frazer-Nash during the hill-test, convinced, from the smoking clutch, that the car was on fire.
Non-competitor Murray-Austin arrived at the check in a very handsome Bentley two-seater ere McNaughton, with an exhaust song like that of a Formula G.P. car, resumed his night drive.
At Measham, where Mr. G. A. Hill, of the Measham Motor Sales Organisation, kindly allows the cars to check in and undertake the final frolics, Felix Day, secretary of the meeting, dispensed hospitality and the Measham Motor Sales restaurant a very good breakfast, courteously served.
On arrival — and only about 40 of the 83 entrants did arrive! – cars were checked for condition and first undertook an acceleration and braking test, which, we think to the V.S.C.C.'s discredit, included, halfway along the course, that potential transmission breaker, a quick dart backwards before resuming forward progression. However, nothing broke!
B. Day's Austin A40 squealed its brakes but was well driven. H. M. Sinclair took it gently in the Alfa-Romeo coupé. R. C. Bathos' Riley Nine tourer exuded much exhaust crackle, while Dr. W. G. Toole handled his oddly-bodied Bristol neatly, his lady passenger obviously very keen. H. W. Whitehouse's Austin A40, watched critically by vintage fanatics, was noticed to dip its nose on braking and to judder its back axle on acceleration, and J. T. Bedson lost time fumbling for reverse cog in his Triumph Special, the sidelamps of which were still alight. H. E. Hardman and his passenger quickly furled the hood of their M.G., which performed well, and J. L. Shaw in a well-known 1 1/4-litre M.G. rally saloon, treated us to fireworks display. An Alvis Silver Eagle "beetle-back" two-seater came in with the near-side front and off-side rear wings roped on! After G. N. S. Davies had parked his 1925 Alvis tourer the bonnet, radiator and mascot were neatly shrouded in a cover bearing a big hare mascot.
After breakfast the competitors took two more tests. One was a matter of driving against the watch in an arc between a lane of slender pylons without knocking them down, and in the other the cars were driven as fast as possible round a sales-room, stopping after the first circuit astride a line (which, naturally, some overshot), whereupon driver and passenger had to make a circuit of the vehicle before resuming the timed circuit. In the former test Jeddere Fisher's excellent drive brought forth claps and McNaughton and Binns did splendidly, while many of the open cars hit many pylons, M.G.s -and the Dellow included. The second test wasn't as amusing us we expected, the cars' occupants mostly tripping blithely round them like ballet dancers, although there were girls in winter sports attire who didn't run like athletes and men who collided with one another and the cars' doors. J. L. Shaw had small respect for his M.G.'s gearbox.
On a dais from which £3,000 Rolls-Royces have no doubt been knocked down, Cecil Clutton, in the absence of President Kent Karslake, thanked Mr. Hill. of the Measham Motor Sales Organisation, for his hospitality and paid warm tribute to the competitors. He was glad, he said, to see that the Measham Rally had this year been won by a vintage car, for McNaughton assured him his car was a 1926 Sunbeam, although he (Clutton) had sometimes mistaken it for the B.R.M. Although so large a proportion of competitors had failed to finish. Clutton felt sure this would in no way deter them next year. He said he had learned a good deal about Standard suspension from watching H. L. Hall's Vanguard in the tests. Mr. Hill concluded with a few words and Mr. Day expeditiously issued us with the provisional results, Secretary Tim Carson taking the handsome Measham Cup away in his Citroën until final results were issued. Clutton departed in his well-wrapped-up Citroën Six, and non-competing vintage cars such as Woodcock's smart 14/40 Humber, a San Sebastian Salmson and a Brescia Bugatti joined the mud-stained rally cars for the journey home. We likewise, finding food at last at the Bon Café, in Banbury.
The Measham Rally ranks as an important event amongst club winter fixtures and, very well organised by the Midland Region of the V.S.C.C., enables this influential club to return some of the invitations extended to it by non-vintage organisations (hence the visitors' class) besides providing an excellent long-distance rally for the older machines. — W.

Displaced KPs continue to fight for their right to return, led by the group's NGOs to choose to return to a "Separate homeland".
On December 28, 1991, KPs first raised their demand for a "distinct homeland" within the Kashmir Valley, from which they were forcibly evicted in 1989/90, the new homeland to be called "Pannun (our) Kashmir" to be governed by a centrally-administered (Delhi government) territory under the Indian Constitution. December 28 has come to be observed as the 'Homeland Day' among this community when the 'Margdarshan Resolution' was passed in 1991.
Pannun Kashmir, a civil society movement representing this community has lately promoted this idea through 'Kashmiri Youth Conference', with its nodes in many part of the globe, known as the 'Friends of Pannun Kashmir Overseas'. NGO has mobilized the youth in solidarity in many parts of Europe and ask the community to "engage people and politicians in dialogues even with whom they disagree".
The NGO has also been voicing its opinion to set up a tribunal to probe into the violence responsible for the eviction of this community, labeled by the group a 'genocide' and an 'ethnic cleansing' of this community.

KP Based NGOs continue to stress the following issues:
(1) encroachment on lands belonging to temples and shrines in the Valley.
(2) importance of incorporating Confidence Building Measures into return policies.
(3) Removal of upper-age limit on jobs made available to returning families
(4) Coordination of KPs NGOs to represent one voice

Policies and the displaced KPs:
During the period 2013-2013, the state gov of Jammu & Kashmir disbursed Rs. 44.77 lakhs for the relief of the displace KPs.
How does this translate with the return of the families, oddly enough per official records from the Ministry of State for Home Affairs, only one 1 family has returned to the Valley and around 4,522 displaced persons still remain in various camps of Jammu.
Understandably, a comprehensive package of Rs1618.40 crore was announced by India's PM in April 2008 for return and rehabilitation of the families, this was to include assistance towards housing, transit accommodation, employment and continuation of cash relief.

What is happening to the comprehensive package which was announced by our P.M in 2008??.
Why can't we all who are directly and indirectly concerned with the internal displacement of this community ask for help in medical services for all the community members who need it at this stage. Let Govt. only reimburse the interest part of the comprehensive package for all medical cases which are appearing within the community. This will help in saving the precious lives of this endangered community.


This is what I wore for the momentous occasion.
Angel and I like to go to the arcade once in a while and spend $10 or so playing games and winning tickets. About two years ago, we decided to start saving up all our arcade tickets so that we could eventually go on a shopping spree at the arcade and win some prizes cooler than a bouncy ball.
If we'd kept living here, we probably would have kept saving up our tickets for the rest of our lives, as it has become such a habit, but we finally decided that it was time to go to Craig's Cruisers for one last glorious day and cash in all our tickets and see what we could buy.
We proudly handed over our ticket collection to the girl at the counter. Our grand total was: 6,885.
Upon hearing the number, Angel and I felt like I imagine a rich person feels when strolling around Banana Republic...we could buy anything we wanted!
It's a lot, I know. We were giggling uncontrollably as we dumped our armfuls of candybars onto the counter and I have no idea what the lady who scanned all of our candy thought. Maybe this sort of behavior is totally normal at arcades.
Notice the slight line dividing the left and right sides of the photo? That's denoting his (right) and hers (left). We don't often stoop to yours and mine, but candy is one area where it's necessary, because I'm a saver...Angel will eat all the candy before I get around to it unless it's specified that some candy belongs to me and others belongs to him.
What's the best prize you've ever won at an arcade?
I know that snake it just candy, but it's giving me a bit of heart attack!
Oh my gosh those snakes made me laugh out loud!
The giant snakes are definitely a bit creepy but I love that you got them for the surprise factor. And I have to do the same thing with candy in my house - my husband eats it all before I even finish one thing!
That's really cool! 100,000 for an Xbox??? Yikes haha! I've never really won anything from an arcade. It makes me sad, lol.
Ack! the snake looks too lifelike to nibble on. Love your fun outfit for Arcade Day - Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.
You definitely hit the jackpot with prizes! Justin and I always have to do a your/mine when it comes to anything edible!
Sean is the same way with candy. That whole box of snakes *bleh* would be gone by now plus skittles wrappers scattered about the apartment.
A candy stash is way better than bouncy balls! ;) And I feel your pain on the his and hers candy. I eat mine slowly and over a much longer period of time than my hubby. He is forever trying to steal mine after eating all of his!
I'm a saver too when it comes to candy. Joe will eat it all so I have to tell him what I am keeping so he doesn't eat it before I can!
Y'all racked up! Not sure I could eat the gummy snakes though!
Argh, I could never have that much temptation in the house!
that cracks me up! When I read your title, I thought to myself "how do you shop at an arcade?" haha. Now I know!
All that candy! That is probably what I would end up with if it were me, just because there is nothing else that I would find worth spending my tickets on, the good stuff is way too expensive. Sounds like a fun time and your choice of apparel was a very good one. Super cute outfit!
Dang! You made bank! Candy bank! And that is my favorite kind! Props on your dedication! I don't know if I would have been that great at saving tickets.
oh gosh, what a fun way to spend the day and prepare for your big trip! congrats on the jackpot and enjoy the sweets!
Great look and what a fun prize to win! You can never go wrong with all that candy, haha!
Bahahaha! You definitely made the best choice!
Nice! I'd love all that candy.
yummmm..you are very good choosers of arcade ticket treasures!!
bahahaa!!! love that you guys bought SO much candy!! win!
Candy is always a good choice! Your pictures of the snakes made me laugh. I don't know what I was expecting to be in there, but it definitely wasn't that.
a) I fully approve of all of your choices. I would want a huge load of candy too!
b) I feel like arcade workers are shocked at very little, least of all large amounts of candy.
My parents and I once totaled my tickets and my sister's and then chose our prizes for us. It was the best treat we ever won. We each got a flashlight with changeable plastic caps that shown different Chuck E. Cheese characters wherever the light shown. It looks like y'all had a great time! I didn't know you could save tickets and bring them back. I'm going to have to remember that one!
You look quite charming in your little dress and pedal pushers and rock-a-billy flats. Can't do much candy, but am happy for your haul. For my part, throwing balls at little clowns sounds like a very satisfying thing to do for hours. I wonder if I could get my huz to stand still for just a minute or two ... hmmmmm.

Q: JAVA Assigning integer from readFile into 2 dimensional array I'm trying to store integers into 2 dimensional array.

*

*I have Buffered Reader which read my CityFile (Contain city coordinate) and return int x and y while !line.isEmpty (No problem with this)

*I want to store this 2 integers (x and y) into multidimensional arraylist as a city coordinate (Need help here)
**Actually I am trying to create a city matrix, which contains all x and y integers that is available in my cityFile (Euclidean2d).
My FileReader class
public static ArrayList  cities = new ArrayList();
.
.

} else if (readingCoordinates) {
            items = line.split("(\\s)+");
            assert( cities.size() + 1 == Integer.parseInt(items[0]));
            x = Integer.parseInt(items[1]);
            y = Integer.parseInt(items[2]);

            City city = new City(x, y);
            addCity(city);
            .
            .
            .
            }
          }

public static void addCity(City city) {
    cities.add(city);
}

My Point class
public class City {

int x;
int y;

public City (int x, int y){
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
}
public int getX(){
    return this.x;
}
public int getY(){
    return this.y;
}

@Override
public String toString(){
    return getX()+", "+getY();
}
}

Then i store the point in Arraylist of cities in my FileReader class.
So in my Arraylist of cities like below
cities[city(x,y), city(x,y), city (x,y), ....]
My Question here,
Can I manipulate this cities array to Create new Matrix [2 dimensional array] in city[i][j]
my current code is not working,
  public double[][] cityMatrix() {

            double[][] cityMatrix = new double[FileReader.cities.size()][2];

            for (int i = 0; i < FileReader.cities.size(); i++)
                            cityMatrix[i][0] = getX();

            for (int i = 0; i < FileReader.cities.size(); i++)
                            cityMatrix[i][1] = getY();

            return cityMatrix;
    }

I hope my question is clear. If not, kindly let me know so that i could make it clear again.
Please help.
Thank you.

A: In the method cityMatrix() you are using customerMatrix and cityMatrix. Is that just a typo? Try this method:
public double[][] cityMatrix() {
    double[][] cityMatrix = new double[FileReader.cities.size()][2];

    for (int i = 0; i < FileReader.cities.size(); i++){
        City c = FileReader.cities.get(i);
        cityMatrix[i][0] = c.getX();
        cityMatrix[i][1] = c.getY();
    }
    return cityMatrix;
}

Pit Stick - Customer Favorite!
We sweat! You sweat! Everyone sweats! Sweating is our body's natural way to keeping us cool, but we just hate the thought of applying aluminum and other scary chemicals that are found in commercial antiperspirants. We've tried other natural perspirant control products, but we found that most of them snuck in some sort of synthetic or artificial ingredient or they just didn't work. Many of them even made our skin bumpy and itchy. So we challenged ourselves to create a perspirant control product that effectively controls underarm wetness, controls odor, and has a subtle natural fragrance and the result is Pit Stick!
Pit Stick applies smoothly to your underarm area with our push up applicator. Food-grade ingredients control moisture without leaving a sticky residue or white streaks. The essential oils in each variety provide subtle natural fragrance and do double duty on odor control with their known antibacterial properties. Choose from our three fragrance combos: Lavender+Spearmint+Tea Tree; Fir+Orange+Tea Tree; or Bergamot+Litsea Cubeba+Tea Tree. Vitamin E oil provides added skin conditioning while assuring that your product stays fresh.

The Ultimate Edition for Intellij IDEA comes with a built-in GWT plugin that allows you to run and debug GWT apps. We can configure the plugin to use the embedded WildFly launcher to debug both server and client-side code in one debug session. This section explains how to do that.

(This procedure was tested on IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 14.1.3 and 15.0.1)

1. Click on open, and point to pom.xml file located on uftasks dir. (Wait for import and indexing)
![imported project](importedProject.png)

2. Access Run menu, select "Edit Configurations", press the + button under GWT Configurations to create a new GWT configuration.
![empty gwt](emptyGwtConfiguration.png)

3. Fill out the following parameters in the corresponding boxes:

**Name:** UFTasks

 **Module:** uftasks-webapp

 **Use Super Dev Mode**: yes (check it)

 **GWT Modules to load**: org.uberfire.FastCompiledUFTasksShowcase

(if your Gwt Modules are not displayed jin this combobox, go to FAQ section and look for "fix maven version on IDEA").

 **VM options**: -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Derrai.jboss.home=/Users/ederign/projects/uftasks/uftasks-showcase/uftasks-webapp/target/wildfly-10.0.0.Final/ -Dorg.uberfire.nio.git.dir=/tmp/dir

The errai.jboss.home parameter must point to your local WildFly installation directory or the Wildfly within the target/ directory of your app. For the UFTasks app, errai.jboss.home points to the WildFly installation within the target/ directory, which is redownloaded and installed as part of the build.

**Dev Mode Parameters**:
-server org.jboss.errai.cdi.server.gwt.EmbeddedWildFlyLauncher

**With JavaScript debugger**: optionally (you'll need to install an IntelliJ plugin in your browser in order to have a better debug experience)

**Before Launch**: Add a new "Run Maven Goal" configuration **before** your make. Press + button, "Run Maven Goal"

![maven goal](mavenGoal.png)

Point "Working directory" to your webapp folder, Set "clean process-resources" in line parameter, press OK, and move this new configuration *before* Make.

This is what your config should look like:

![config idea](configIDEA.png)

Daikin plans $195 million expansion at Decatur plant with 50 new jobs
DECATUR, Alabama – Daikin America Inc., marking its 25th year of operation in Alabama, plans to invest up to $195 million to add new capabilities at its Decatur production facility. The expansion will result in the addition of 50 new full-time positions over the next few years.
Daikin said the expansion project will add polymer production capability, associated monomer production, utility systems, infrastructure enhancements and R&D capabilities in Decatur. Construction will begin in January 2020.
David Hendrixson, a Daikin America executive vice president and plant manager, said the Decatur facility was chosen over Daikin production locations in Japan and China for the polymer expansion project.
"This investment shows Daikin's confidence in the Decatur community and its people. We appreciate the support of the State of Alabama, local officials, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Daikin is proud to be a part of the Decatur and Morgan County community."
The official announcement was made Thursday night at a community celebration to commemorate Daikin's 25th anniversary in the Morgan County city.

"Through repeated reinvestment in its Decatur operation, Daikin has shown corporate decision makers In Japan and around the world the attractiveness of doing business in Alabama," he added. "That kind of endorsement helps us open doors in business recruitment."
'POSITIVE IMPACT'
Among other things, the expansion project will increase Daikin's PTFE (a synthetic polymer with useful properties) and melt resin polymer production capacity. With this expansion, Daikin will introduce differentiated polymers used in high-value applications.
The capacity addition will permit the company to more effectively service customers worldwide.
Local officials welcomed the news of Daikin's latest expansion project.

There are two things that fascinate me about this message. First, that in the future it is apparently ok to keep pandas as pets, but more eyebrow-raising is the idea that there are designer pet pandas. Modifying companion animals via selective breeding is nothing new, but I wonder what leads us down this particular path. Currently pandas are endangered, protected and rare. What happens to get us to the point where "everyone at school" could have one? Could this be one of the unintended consequences of cloning, or some other future science to replicate these creatures? The designer mutt, the "labradoodle," was created for a noble reason, but the rush to exploit this designer dog craze led to regrets.
There is no denying that even today, we are facing an extinction crisis. Climate change is going to effect every life, not just the humans. Somehow I doubt there will be designer pet frogs in the future, though.

Nepal court jails ex-UN official for child abuse
A previous UN authority has been imprisoned in Nepal for explicitly mishandling youngsters.
Subside John Dalglish, 62, from Canada, was confined close Kathmandu in 2018 and sentenced a month ago.
He was condemned to nine years for mishandling a 12-year-old kid and seven for attacking a 14-year-old kid. It is misty if the terms run simultaneously.
Dalglish, a prominent helpful laborer since the 1980s, had denied the charges and his legal counselor revealed to Reuters he would offer.
"Fair treatment has not been satisfied during the examination for the situation. So we'll claim," the legal advisor, Rahul Chapagain, said.
Dalglish was additionally requested to pay of 500,000 rupees ($4,600; £3,600) to every injured individual. Both young men were in his home when he was captured.
"The judge is yet to choose whether he should serve a complete 16 years in prison or be discharged following nine years. Much of the time of a comparable sort, sentences get covered however it is upon the judge to choose," a locale court authority revealed to AFP news office.
Nepal battles outside pedophiles
Dalglish was a well-regarded philanthropic, engaged with ventures over the globe. In 2016, he was granted the Order of Canada – the nation's second-most astounding regular citizen respect – for his work with distraught kids.
He helped to establish Street Kids International during the 1980s, which later converged with Save the Children.
All the more as of late, Dalglish held senior positions in UN offices, including head of UN-Habitat in Afghanistan in 2015.
In Nepal, Dalglish was a consultant to the International Labor Organization in the mid 2000s.

Written by the original creator of Black Lightning, Tony Isabella has brought us a fantastic finale to this special six-part miniseries. With Clayton Henry's amazing artwork that flies right off the page, BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #6 is a must read!
This is it, the final installment of this six-part miniseries written by the legendary creator of Black Lightning, Tony Isabella. Black Lightning faces off against his nemesis, Tobias Whale, in a climactic showdown for the ages. Who will come out on top? Hold on tight, because BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #6 is full of twists and turns! Warning, potential spoilers can be found below!
So in BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #6, Black Lightning and Tobias Whale are head-to-head in the cage match of the century. I won't sugar coat, things aren't looking good for our hero. Whale paints a nightmarish picture of his plans if he succeeds, of Cleveland overtaken by gangs using superpowered weaponry.
The battle is brutal. Tobias Whale's movements, every punch and kick, are so ruthless and merciless. This just speaks to how savage his character is. With Clayton Henry's dynamic art style, fists are flying right off the page.
BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #6 page 1. Image courtesy of DC Entertainment.
So after Black Lightning's brawl with Tobias Whale, Jefferson Pierce talks to his deceased father's photo about the events that follow. With an even-tempered voice, there's a nice narration of the ending. This balances well with the high-energy scenes from the beginning of the issue.
It was heartwarming to see the citizens of Cleveland come together and start to rise from the ashes. Black Lightning's determination to keep his city safe shines through in this issue's conclusion of BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #6.
At the center of BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #6 is the conflict of Black Lightning and Tobias Whale. What I love most about their relationship is how perfectly they contradict each other. It's interesting to read about characters that are so different from one another.
Black Lightning is a symbol of honor and justice. In both sides of his life, he's a force for change in his community, like with his students and law enforcement. On the other hand, there's Whale, who's brutal and malicious. He wants to light a flame of corruption and watch the world burn.
