Targeting a promising new herbicide mode of action: chemical and genetic approaches to elucidate the role of IPC synthase in plants
PINNEH, ELIZABETH,CASSANDRA (2018) Targeting a promising new herbicide mode of action: chemical and genetic approaches to elucidate the role of IPC synthase in plants. Doctoral thesis, Durham University.
Worldwide there are currently 479 recorded unique cases of herbicide resistant weeds, with 251 species (146 dicots and 105 monocots). According to current records, weeds have developed resistance to 22 of the 25 known herbicide sites of action and to 157 different herbicides. Research into sphingolipid synthesis has revealed a potential novel site of action involving the non-mammalian enzyme inositol phosphorylceramide synthase (IPCS). Two approaches to understanding the function of the enzyme in plants have been employed in this study. The genetic approach, which involves the overexpression and knockdown of the three IPCS orthologues in Arabidopsis thaliana, has given insights into the global function of the enzyme in plants at a phenotypic and transcriptomic level. Analyses of the RNASeq data show that AtIPCS is a global negative regulator of plant defense, downregulating genes involved in plant defense against herbivory attack, nematodes, fungal and bacterial pathogens. RNASeq data in conjunction with phenotypic data, indicate that IPCS may play a role in floral transition from the vegetative phase to the reproductive phase, with the transgenic lines displaying an early flowering phenotype. AtIPCS transcript levels is also shown to affect plant post-embryonic development. In parallel, high throughput screening facilitated the identification of chemical inhibitors of plant IPCS. Using a system of Arabidopsis thaliana as a model dicot and Oryza sativa as model monocot, two classes of inhibitors were identified and demonstrated differential activity: the phenylamidines and triazinones. In addition, in vivo screening of the phenylamidines demonstrated herbicidal activity, indicating that the necessary selectivity for herbicide development is achievable.

1) Skype and Touchjet- this is our connection with the students from Mashpee who are working in their Design Makerspace and were given the brief ' Can you design an object to change the live of the Laos children/community?". A daunting task for anyone but these students accepted the challenge.
2) 3 D Printing - we had a 3D printer donated and so we have given workshops in the Luang Prabang Library to help the Laos community to use 3D printer. This was initially to help us to create the objects that the Mashpee children designed but representatives from the local libraries, schools and University are all engaged in the new technology.
3) VR Headsets - accidentally included these have been changing the way the Laotian children experience new ideas.
4) 360 Video Capture - this clever new idea enables immersive experiences and we have been capturing the experiences for Australian and US students.


Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder related to age, just after Alzheimer's Disease.
Between 7 and 10 million people around the world lives with this disease and every year about 6,600 Canadians are diagnosed with it.
PD is a degenerative disease and there's still little known about its exact cause.
However, it seems that cannabinoids could be a new, helpful treatment for the disease.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Let's try to get the whole picture.
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder of the nervous system, which has motor and non-motor symptoms.
The disease starts with slightly shaky hands, and as the condition develops, patients have more and more difficulties controlling their movements. Their motor skills become slower, more rigid and they develop walking difficulties.
Other symptoms include emotional and sensory problems as well as sleep disorders. A number of patients will also develop depression and dementia.
Parkinson's typically affects people over 60, but it can be diagnosed before the age of 50, which is known as young-onset Parkinson's disease. Men are affected more than women.
Unfortunately, we still don't know a great deal about Parkinson's. What do we know so far is that the brains of PD patients don't produce enough dopamine and that the death of the dopamine-producing brain cells is likely caused by abnormal clumps of proteins in the neurons.
Editor's note: Interestingly enough, THC can increase dopamine secretion.
However, research has also found that environmental factors may cause PD. Head injuries (such as concussions) have also been linked to developing the disease.
There is no definitive cure, but there are some therapies that can help reduce the symptoms and improve the overall quality of life for patients.
The typical treatment for Parkinson's includes medications. The drugs used for Parkinson's Disease have side effects, and they lose effectiveness over time.
For severe cases, a deep brain stimulation surgery can be performed by placing microelectrodes to stimulate the brain and reduce the symptoms affecting a patient's motor skills.
So, are there additional treatments? What about cannabis?
Back in 2004, 339 Parkinson's patients who attended the Prague Movement Disorder Center took an anonymous questionnaire about the subjective improvement in their motor symptoms after taking cannabis.
They also noticed an improvement in non-motor symptoms such as pain, mood, and sleep.
Indica vs sativa for Parkinson's Disease?
Cannabis sativa is one of several subspecies of cannabis. Sativa strains are usually recommended for daytime use because of their energizing properties, but they also have strong cerebral effects.
On the other hand, Cannabis indica usually produces sedative effects which makes it favorite among people with sleeping problems.
Indica strains are usually more potent than sativas, making people feel relaxed, sleepy and very hungry. Indica strains are usually recommended for nighttime use, due to higher concentrations of terpenes that cause the high to be felt more in the body than in the head.
But, when it comes to Parkinson's Disease, the first recommendation would be to use indica strains, because of their relaxing and painkilling properties, and since indica is most likely to help with sleep.
Finding the right strain for your specific needs can be a challenge. We are all unique and certain strains can have different effects on people.
That's why it's super important to be patient and do some research before signing up to an LP or visiting a dispensary.
Here are a few strains to help you start your journey on finding the right one.
Named after the famous rock-star, Kobain Kush is a perfect Indica for PD patients since it's well balanced and doesn't induce sleepiness. Very effective in reducing pain and stress, its relaxing effect makes patients forget their worries while calming both body and mind. For PD patients the main benefit from this strain is that it's great for muscle spasms and tremors.
Great for daytime use, this Indica strain does not produce the couch-lock effect or sedation. For Parkinson's patients who wish to avoid intense psychoactive effects, Harmonia front-loads CBD behind a slightly decreased THC profile. This harmonious balance (hence the name) stands a good chance of blocking the protein production associated with nerve cell damage in PD.
Although its name sounds like hell, Trainwreck actually has stimulating and soothing effects on our whole system. This one is potent in the THC department but its calming effect helps get rid of tremors and improve the balance.
A few hits of Critical Cheese provides a very fast uplifting effect. This is one of the first strains to be recommended to PD patients because of its high CBD levels.
This potent, but one of the most relaxing Indica strains, is best known for its calming qualities. It relaxes, relieves pain and reduces stress. It increases the dopamine levels which is associated with PD.
Amnesia Haze is a Sativa strain usually recommended for daytime use since it provides a boost of energy. It also awakens creativity in us and helps find some relief from stress. Amnesia Haze is effective in combating depression, fatigue, and pain too.
From the experience of chronic pain patients, Hashberry does not seem to work on severe pain and is more effective in low to moderate pain. It has strong sedative effects so it's best to use it in the afternoon and evening chill. It's great for beating insomnia, too, as well as depression, anxiety, and everyday stress.
Preferred for daytime use since it has no couch-lock and numbing effects. Instead, the effect of Blue Diesel is slow, smooth and long-lasting. It contains high levels of CBD, too, which makes it welcome for Parkinson's.
Very high in THC (up to 21%) and very low in CBD, which makes it perfect for conditions such as stress, anxiety, and pain. Since it has a strong sedative effect, it's recommended for nighttime use, for deep relaxing feeling and peaceful sleep.
It's really important to point out one thing — cannabis can't cure Parkinson's Disease but it can provide some much-needed relief from tremors and stiffness.
Furthermore, Parkinson's patients tend to suffer from other symptoms which marijuana can treat. Sleeping disorders, chronic pain, and spasms can all be helped with just a few puffs.
Cannabis can be tricky to use and it has a different effect on every person. Before taking any pot for your symptoms, ask your marijuana doctor for advice and take some time to experiment and find the perfect strain.
This has been very helpful I'm going to try a couple of these strains to get started, thank you.
My mom has Parkinson's but is also a stage 4 lung cancer survivor. Would like an edible instead. Any suggestions?

In your opinion, what were the moments in your career that inspired you to become the People leader that you are today?
Two key moments spring to mind; the first was the 2008 economic crisis. I saw the harsh side of what happens to people during a crisis when institutions are downsizing, merging, and collapsing. I witnessed up close; thousands of people lose much more than their jobs.
I realized that, once we came out of the crisis and recovered, I wanted to focus my career on helping people in building their careers. I wanted to help small businesses grow.
The second most pivotal moment was my personal experience. My brother was away on deployment, and my sister-in-law was having surgery; I wanted to take some time off for two weeks to help them and needed to take care of their children for two weeks. When I approached my boss for the time off, he gave me an ultimatum and told me to choose between my family and my career; I chose my family.
Being given this ultimatum made me realize that I was determined to be a different kind of leader than the bosses I'd had in my past.
What were your biggest leadership life lessons that you learned in your current position?
My most important lesson was learning how to let go of any underperforming employees. This means embracing the idea that when the team and the company grow, you need to be honest when an employee is no longer the right fit - as a leader, you have put the entire team, and business ahead of that one person. For me, this has always been incredibly difficult on a human level. I feel very responsible for every person in the company.
As leaders, we have decided that if an employee is not a good fit, we will have an honest and transparent conversation with the employee and explain how we can support them while they look for new opportunities. We even support them throughout their interview process so that they can use us as a reference.
What role does data play in your everyday tasks and responsibilities? How do you use this data?
Data is critical; it helps to drive our decisions. In everything from revenue forecasting to hiring, data plays an immense role.
When looking at a business unit, our top data point that we initially look at is "performance." Then we break that down to teams and individuals. We share this data with our team leaders and individual performers. We feel data is essential for setting expectations, providing an employee or team with a clear goal to work towards, and also to show where they fit into the overall growth of the company. Through data, we can show teams how much they truly can positively impact the business. That said, it's also essential that we check the mood of the team as well: Do they feel like they have a voice? Do they feel like we communicate enough? Are there clear expectations?
A team can be performing well but, under the surface, issues can bubble up. For us, it's important to evaluate more than just performance metrics. Communication is vital to ensuring teams feel like they're contributing to the growth of the company. These two elements help to create a feeling of worth and purpose within the teams.
Regarding the People Analytics space, what do you think is the most exciting, and what are the things that scare you?
In general, the idea of being able to look at your employees and teams, and their performance from a data perspective — and not just performance but management, leadership, communication, and expectations — excites me. Every time I can use these metrics to back up my theories, I'm excited.
What's worrying is that you can never replace the human factor. Just like with anything, there are extremes. It can be harder, in a larger or growing company, to connect with your employees. There are some risks inherent to data exacerbating this condition. So for me, it's crucial to find and maintain a balance between the human element and data/people analytics.
During your career, what are the initiatives that you took to improve the wellbeing of your team?
The most significant initiative was when I was still Director of Strategic Development in Ivy Exec, and we experienced growing pains in 2017. The changes impacted our employees' morale and culture.
To help open the communication channels, we created internal company committees. There were committees for professional development, operations committee, culture, and community service. These committees serve to give a voice to our employees on areas broader than their immediate scope of responsibilities.
From this initiative, the professional development committee ultimately led to my role as CPO. Once we had someone dedicated to looking internally on the company while we continued to grow, we had a total company transformation.
Who are the people that inspire you in the field of People Ops? Who are you currently reading or listening to in this field?
In terms of big names, I would say, Ray Dalio, of Bridgewater Associates. He wrote the book "Principles." I respect how he walks the reader through the trials and tribulations of growing his business. I enjoyed his perspectives and insights when it comes to both the people management and strategic business growth and the learning curves that come along with both.
Where I get most of my inspiration, however, is from most of my peers. My clients are usually CEOs, partners, and co-founders of emerging boutique firms. While from a client perspective, it falls on us to advise them on continued growth, we learn a lot by listening to them. For example, Raegan Moya-Jones, was in the same EY Winning Women class as our CEO Elena Bajic. Raegan wrote a book, "What It Takes," which tells her journey of building a business while raising her children and working full-time. I'm inspired by women entrepreneurs who build businesses while raising babies. I know first hand how difficult it can be, and on my difficult days, I take inspiration from those who have walked the path before me.

Black History Month: Merle Hamilton
This month, Welsh Netball has been hearing from prominent Black members of the Welsh Netball community on the theme of inspiration as part of Black History Month. Here, Welsh Netball President, Merle Hamilton shares her story, talking about love, loss and discovery…
"As President of Welsh Netball and after listening to the contributors to Black history month for Welsh Netball, I realise that those of us of black and mixed race do have an important story to tell.
"I was asked if there were any Black people who had inspired me during my life and I could not think of any. However, I could think of many that I admired, mainly from my teens onwards and mainly in the sporting world as well as music. For a reason, unknown to me at the time, I was always sport mad and was admired those athletes who achieved gold medals in Olympics and who played at the top of their game in football and other sports.
"I came from a mixed family background: my mum was from Cheshire and my father came from Jamaica towards the end of the second world war with the Royal Air Force. They married and had three children but unfortunately, after eight years together, their marriage broke down and my father went to live in London and eventually the family lost contact with him. I was brought up in a small village in North Wales with my mother's family. I saw very few black people with the exception of some of my mum's friends who did not live locally.
"After my mum passed away in 2007, my sister and I decided to look for our Jamaican roots. After lots of searching for birth certificates through the Mormon church and an advertisement on the 'Missing Persons' website on the internet, there came a breakthrough. There were nine people with my father's name living in London. Not getting our hopes up too high, I wrote 9 letters to each one outlining the details of the family that we knew we belonged to.
"Then it happened. I had included my telephone number on the letter, and one Sunday morning – rushing out to netball, of course – came the call. My dad telephoned me – I was in total shock and I cried all day.
"And so, my relationship with by Black family began and I have never looked back. I have been to Philadelphia, New York and met aunties and uncles, cousins and extended family. Importantly, I have been to Jamaica to dad's family home in Bamboo where they were all brought up and where my grandmother is buried.
"My dad's sister Eva Davidson, MBE, is now my last living aunt, and she received an award for the work that she did for the Black community in London. I admire her so much for all her achievements in life and hope that I am not unsimilar to her.
"My journey with Welsh Netball began in 1984, as a selector, U16 & U17 National Head Coach and U21 assistant coach at the World Youth Cup held in Florida. I have totally loved seeing all the players attaining their goals at all levels of this brilliant sport and am extremely proud of how the sport has grown whilst I have been involved and how the game has moved on to embrace all ethnicities.
"How does my story relate to my love of netball and sport in general you may ask? Well, my dad was sport mad. He ran at Crystal Palace, loved athletics, football – both here and in the USA – tennis and more. I even took him to watch netball: Jamaica versus England in Wembley. He loved it, though he did give the Jamaicans a hard time! How uncanny is that? No physical influence it was all in the DNA!"
Welsh Netball would like to thank Merle for sharing her story and for the contributions of all our interviewees this Black History Month. It has been wonderful to hear stories of how Black netballers have discovered their family roots and to hear incredible examples of inspiration from Black history.

Among his most successful film roles were the lawyer and deputy Uher in the drama film Batalion (The Battalion, 1927) by Přemysl Pražský, and the organist in Varhaník u sv. Víta (Organist at St. Vitus Cathedral, 1929) by Martin Frič. The coming era of the sound film in 1930s enabled Hašler to utilise his singing skills. In his first sound film role Písničkář (Balladeer, 1932) by Svatopluk Innemann he sang patriotic songs Svoboda (Freedom) and Ta naše písnička česká (Our Czech song), among others. In 1942, in his last film role, he played himself in Za tichých nocí (In the Quiet Nights), made by his son Gina Hašler. From 1932 to 1941 Hašler played in more than 13 films. In September 1941, during production of the film Městečko na dlani, based on the script by Jan Drda, he was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp. The main reason for his arrest was his patriotic songs. On 22 December 1941 the Germans poured water on him and left him outside in the December frost to get frozen like an ice sculpture.
In the post-war Communist Czechoslovakia he was officially ignored for political reasons, because many of his songs hailed Tomáš Masaryk and Czechoslovak Legionnaires and mocked interbellum communists, and also because he was an admirer of the founder of the National Fascist Community Radola Gajda, and ideologically was close to the interbellum Czech fascists.

Indian workers in Britain
Fifty years of the Indian Workers' Association in Greenwich and Bexleyheath: looking back and looking forward.
Harpal Brar
Wednesday 9 September 2015
The Indian Workers Association (Great Britain), has played a significant role in the British working-class movement over the last 60 years. The Grenwich & Bexleyheath branch of the IWA (GB) held this meeting to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of their branch.
Harpal Brar, National Organiser of the IWA (GB), and chairman of the CPGB-ML, gave a landmark speech reflecting on the history of the IWA (GB). The organisation was able, in its time, to organise demonstrations of tens of thousands of workers, and regularly held meetings of 4-5,00 members and supporters throughout the country.
The IWA was a vibrant organisation because its programme was correct, says Harpal.
Indian workers, like other immigrant populations, were driven from their homes by the economic poverty (and, in many cases, by political chaos and violence, as with Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan) created by the stranglehold of monopoly capitalist domination of their economic and political life at home.
The IWA (GB), therefore, was from its inception an anti-imperialist organisation, giving solidarity and support to all other anti-imperialist movements, including the Irish republican movement, the South African and Zimbabwean anti-apartheid struggles, the struggle of the Korean and Vietnamese against US and UN imperialism, and the struggle of the Palestinian and Arab peoples against zionism and colonialism, as well as the wider the anti-war movement and the struggle against occupation of the people of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Ukraine.
On arrival in Britain, Indian workers faced racism in the street, in employment, in institutions and from the state. The IWA mobilised not only Indians and the black community but also wider sections of the white British working class in the fight against racism. This was its great strength.
Guided by the IWA, the indian community took a stand against black separatism, emphasising the communality of interests of the working class. It mobilised to prevent the National Front from holding an 'election rally' in Southall in 1979, where the police defended the racists, beat hundreds of demonstrators, and murdered Blair Peach.
In 1993, the IWA chaired an anti-racist march of 100,000 in Welling to oppose the presence of the BNP bookshop that was a central organising point for racist gangs and murders in the area – including the killers of Rohit Duggal and Stephen Lawrence.
Last, the IWA (GB) recognised that Indians in Britain were first and foremost workers, and that Indians were playing their part in the wider trade-union struggles for the rights of workers, with such honourable examples as the Grunwick strikers, the Timex strikers and the Hillingdon Hospital workers.
During the great miners' strike of 1984/5, the IWA mobilised support, money, clothes and toys for the striking miners. The organisation held meetings at which miners' leaders spoke up and down the country, and it fed visiting detachments of miners and marched with them on demonstrations.
This real demonstration of class solidarity and support did more to educate the working class of both communities than a thousand lectures on the importance of anti-racism.
Indians living in Britain must play their role in the British working-class struggle and political movement, says Harpal. British capitalism in crisis is again stoking the fires of racism and anti-immigrant sentiment in order to distract workers from the anti-capitalist struggle.
It is not enough to hope that the election of a left leader – Jeremy Corbyn – will transform the Labour party and solve all our problems for us. The Labour party cannot change its nature as a party of imperialism, and workers will have to learn this lesson.
We must build a truly revolutionary alternative, and the CPGB-ML with your support can become such an organisation.

Harpal Brar gives a short history of the significant contribution made by the IWA (GB) to the British working-class movement, and points the way forward.
1 Oct 2015, Proletarian
It is only by unifying the maximum forces that we will be able to confront the enemy of ALL workers – the capitalist-imperialist economic system as a whole.
13 Feb 2022,
What is the role of the Labour party in British politics in general and in the working-class movement in particular?
Racism is built into the system of exploitation, and will not be abolished until that system is replaced by socialism.
1 Aug 2015, Proletarian
On every question of importance, the CPB has ditched Marxism in favour of servility to the imperialist Labour party.
8 Nov 2021, Lalkar
A heartfelt tribute in memory of Comrade Avtar Jouhl, courageous Marxist-Leninist who gave so much to our movement and will be sorely missed.
20 Nov 2022, Proletarian TV
In full election mode, Corbyn, like Boris, is busy telling the people what he thinks they want to hear.
20 Jul 2019, Proletarian TV
Capitalism cannot be regulated or reformed – it must be overthrown, and workers must build an organisation that is up to the task.

The fact that Brazilian legal system poses a challenge in navigating through makes law profession Brazil a reasonably popular job there. Many people in Brazil require a professional to pass through it. The Brazilian constitution which was promulgated in 1988 form the basis of the law in Brazil. Mostly, lawyers in Brazil kick off their profession at an average age of twenty-three years after thorough six or five years of schooling and interning. Certified lawyers are those that have successfully excelled in Brazilian bar exam.
There are many lawyers in Brazil. There are those who have cleared schooling and examinations and are yet to be licensed. When a lawyer completes the bar exam, they can work in any law-related field. The young lawyers assist clients with contract laws, tax laws, class actions or any other lawsuits that are important.
The largest Brazil firms have over five hundred lawyers. The best examples of large law firms in Brazil include PinheiroNeto and TozzinFreire. Those law firms that focus on one area are operated by less than fifty people. As per the statistics, law firms hire fewer lawyers as compared to the available ones because more lawyers graduate than the open law positions.
In Brazil, lawyers who work in law firms are categorized into three distinct groups. They are either partners, associates or interns. In a law firm in Brazil, there exist more interns than the associates. Partners receive salaries depending on the number of businesses they bring to the company. Associates receive wages too. Clients who seek legal services are charged on hourly basis. As per the recent report, Brazil comes second as having the most significant number of lawyers' representation in the world after the United States.
One of the most sought prominent Brazilian lawyers is Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho. He has extensive experience as a legal practitioner in Brazil since he has been practicing law for about twenty years. He is the pioneer of litigation model which is widely practiced in Brazil. He has been hired by several large organizations to represent them in cases. His office applied for an efficient way of doing mass litigation, and this brought reputation to the firm. For many in Brazil, he is famous for taking care of the issue of Ricardo lacrosse camp.
Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho set off his law career about twenty-six years ago after completing his law degree from Mackenzie Presbyterian University. He has established himself through litigation. His real clients include governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations. He is a renowned senor litigant at Leite, Tosto and Barros AdvogadosAssociados. Leite, Tosto and Barros AdvogadosAssociados and Ricardo's lacrosse camp are where most successful lawyers in the country emanate.


As a retired NYPD officer, I welcome Mayor Bloomberg's comments on Detective James Zadroga's status as a hero ("Mike's Manglemouth," Editorial, Oct. 31).
It confirms what every man and woman who risk their lives every day protecting the citizens of New York City have known for years: He has nothing but contempt for us.
As for Commissioner Ray Kelly, his silence has been deafening. These men are without honor.
The mayor's comments regarding Zadroda are heinous, despicable and cowardly.
By slandering a dead man while his family still grieves, it is clear that the city is engaged in a conspiracy to prevent 9/11's sick and dying first-responders from collecting.
Our debutante mayor isn't qualified to shine Zadroda's shoes, much less judge his life and death.
Zadroga put in around 450 hours working at Ground Zero and was exposed to elements that can cause lung disease.
The medical examiner is out of line to basically state that Zadroga was a drug addict.
Maybe Zadroga suffered so much pain that he injected drugs to get quicker relief than to wait for hours for the pills to work.
This is an absolute insult and a slap in the face to his family. Anyone who worked at Ground Zero for the amount of time that Zadroga did is a hero in my book. Being a hero has nothing to do with how he took his medication.
Zadroga was a hero. Instead of trying to figure out medical problems, why doesn't Bloomberg stick up for the city's police officers?
To start, pay them what they are worth – at least $85,000. Police officers and firefighters should be the highest paid workers in any city.

Q: Implementation of FCallAddSub [System.Security.SecurityCritical]  // auto-generated
        [ResourceExposure(ResourceScope.None)]
        [MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
        private static extern void FCallAddSub(ref Decimal d1, ref Decimal d2, byte bSign);

I can't find the source code for this function. Could you help me to construct a number from its bit components.

A: You're probably not going to find source for this.  It's likely implemented in something that is not C# such as C++ and isn't going to be found in the reference source code.  This question delves into the details of InternalCall extern:
C# internal static extern with InternalCall attribute - internal or external?
I would speculate this is a placeholder for allowing the JIT compiler to replace this call with platform specific CPU instructions for this operation.  It is likely implemented within the CLR itself.  I am not an expert on this though, so at what point in the pipeline this is handled I'm fuzzy on.
When they finish putting the C# core source up on github (open sourcing .NET Core framework currently is a work in progress), then you might find an implementation for this:
https://github.com/dotnet/corefx
Mono's Implementation
You could instead take a look at mono's implementation of Decimal here, which does not use FCallAddSub:
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/corlib/System/Decimal.cs
They implement a similar abstraction in native code with the function mono_decimalIncr which is implemented in C and the source can be found here:
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/ee90d5ff1d521f92c3dd9cca79b002dc4bc65ee3/mono/metadata/decimal.c

Congratulations on your engagement! A special setting for the most special of days, where tradition meets modern elegance - the beautiful setting of Albrighton Hall Hotel provides the perfect location for your big day.
As you arrive at the ornamental gates opening onto the long drive leading towards the hotel, the secluded, picturesque 15 acres of landscaped grounds with a tranquil lake set the scene.
From start to finish, we'll be with you to support, help, plan and answer questions you may have along the way. Our aim is to create an unforgettable and magical day for you and your guests.
Albrighton Hall is fully licensed to hold weddings and we have a range of beautiful function rooms for you to choose from, depending on the size and style of your wedding party.
We understand how much the little details contribute to the biggest day of your life, which is why we've put together a selection of packages to make your wedding day complete. We also understand that every wedding should be truly individual. The packages we have available were put together with all your needs in mind; however they can be tailored to add that extra special touch.
My Wife and I got married here in September. The venue is in stunning surroundings and is a beautifully maintained building. The staff at Albrighton Hall leading up to the day were always helpful, especially as we were arranging the wedding from London. As there was a wedding the day before ours the staff set up the room on the morning of the Big Day, and executed it all exactly as we had asked them to. The food was brilliant, though our only minor gripe would be that it is quite a limited menu and if you want standard meat options such as beef or lamb you have to pay an additional fee per head to do so. The toastmaster on the day was extremely supportive and communicated with both ourselves and the guests very well throughout. With regards to the rooms, as the Bridal Suite was unavailable to us we were in an alternative room for our wedding night, which wasn't a problem in itself as the room was lovely. However, there were some problems regarding the booking as we had the same room reserved for the night prior to the day. This meant that due to it being two separate bookings (as the wedding night was complimentary) there was some confusion and we were locked out of the room with all our belongings still inside on the day and were also told that we had been moved when we hadn't. Secondly, at the end of the night all the presents went to the Bridal Suite, not to our room, so someone nearly had two sets of presents! There was also confusion prior to the day with booking of discounted rooms, be clear who you want to have discounted rooms as reception have a different policy to the contract.
From start to finish can't find fault. Arrived day before my wedding for a spa day with my chief bridesmaid and family members. The spa was beautiful and staff were woderful and so helpful. The wedding day arrived the staff couldn't do enough to help make our day run smoothly. We truly had a fairy tale wedding and really made our dream wedding at the venue of our dreams so glad we chose this venue. Perfect setting with amazing staff. Must thank our toast master on the day absolutely fantastic! !

Q: fancy text boxes like in Redhat documentation or mercurial book I would like to have framed texts with an Icon on the side like the ones here
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.5/Release_Notes/ar01s06.html
or
http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/collaborating-with-other-people.html
these text boxes are helping to emphsize text, and hg book has really nice frames around code ! which are nicer than the simple code frames I use now.
So far I found The mdframed package as a candidate for that, but the question is
how do I insert the tiny image in the side, and define internal margin ?
Can someone give a code snippet ?
** Also, another question, I love Latex, but I am thinking the following:
Since I want to publish my book online, it does make sense just to download the code of the hgbook, and learn the syntax of that XML ? would latex give me more advandages ?

A: I think bclogo can help you. Its documentation is in french but full of examples.

This page details predicted space weather conditions based on current solar wind data.
where v is the solar wind velocity in km/sec and B is the magnitude of the IMF, is a good predictor of the Polar Cap Potential drop for times when the solar wind is steady and the index is 160 kV or less. For the rare events where the Boyle index exceeds 160 kV, the polar cap potential generally saturates, only exceeding 200 kV in rare occasions, thus in those cases the Boyle Index is an overestimate of the Polar Cap Potential. A Boyle index of 200 averaged over three hours will often yield a Kp index of 6 or higher; for 250 or more, the Kp index is often 7 or higher.
Predicted indices shown below are derived solely based on the solar wind data using models developed through Artificial Neural Networks using the Boyle Index as a base function. The vertical green lines indicate the most recent value. Kp=0 means a very quiet period while Kp=9 means extremely severe activity.
These data are derived from measurements taken by the ACE spacecraft, a component of the International Solar Terrestrial Program (ISTP) and NOAA/SWPC for the planetary K index. For realtime solar wind plots created by NOAA/SWPC go to: ACE solar wind plots.

Un valle glaciar, también llamado artesa glaciar, se define como aquel valle por el que circula o ha circulado un glaciar de dimensiones importantes que ha dejado una geomorfología clara de glaciarismo.

Los valles glaciares son ríos de hielo. Se forman cuando el espesor del hielo acumulado en el circo es grande. El hielo de las capas inferiores se desplaza fuera del circo y se derrama valle abajo. Los fragmentos rocosos que contienen hielo ensanchan el valle. También excavan cubetas en las zonas de roquedo menos resistente. Estas cubetas, al fundirse el hielo, se convierten en lagos.

Características

Los valles glaciares se caracterizan por presentar un perfil transversal en "U" o artesa, considerado este en geomorfología el rasgo principal que permite diferenciar este tipo de canales por los que se desliza o deslizó una lengua de hielo. Otras características de los valles glaciares son las huellas de abrasión y sobreexcavación provocada por la fricción del hielo y el arrastre de material, existencia de canales de aludes, fondos planos con alternancia de umbrales y cubetas, vertientes muy verticales labradas que dan lugar a una ruptura de pendiente en hombrera y a la formación de valles colgados o suspendidos.

Los antiguos glaciares dieron origen a la formación de depósitos de materiales que previamente habían sido erosionados por los hielos. Dichos materiales son muy heterogéneos y forman a menudo diversos tipos de morrenas (terminales, laterales, de retroceso, etc.) en las que suelen formar lagos de origen glaciar, como los que se encuentran en el borde de los Alpes europeos (Como, Mayor, Garda, Ginebra, Constanza, etc.) o en la Suecia central y en muchas otras partes. También la sobreexcavación puede producir condiciones apropiadas para la formación de lagos de origen glaciar. En el caso de Venezuela, la Laguna de Mucubají está represada por la morrena terminal del glaciar que bajaba en el Pleistoceno desde el Páramo de Mucuñuque. En cambio, a unos 2 km hacia el SE, la Laguna Negra está represada por un umbral o dique natural de rocas resistentes precedidas por otras más débiles, las cuales fueron eliminadas por los hielos del glaciar y vaciadas formando lo que ahora es un profundo lago.

Valle suspendido o "colgado"
Cuando los glaciares secundarios confluyen en el fondo del valle principal por el que se desplaza o desplazó un glaciar más importante y de mayor profundidad, se producen los valles suspendidos o valles colgados. Tal es el caso, en la Sierra de Mérida (Venezuela), del valle donde se encuentra la Cascada del Sol: este valle descendió desde el Pico Bolívar pero al llegar al valle principal, excavado más de 100 metros más abajo por la mayor cantidad de hielo, decapitó al pequeño glaciar que ahora forma el valle suspendido. Es un fenómeno muy frecuente en Argentina, Alaska, Canadá, Chile, Nueva Zelanda, en la Península Escandinava, Rusia y desde luego, en las cordilleras asiáticas y en los Alpes. En el caso de los fiordos noruegos, los valles suspendidos constituyen un gran atractivo turístico, ya que producen cascadas de gran altura que caen directamente al mar en el interior de dichos fiordos.

While many in Washington were enjoying a perfect spring day yesterday, several technology leaders convened inside the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) offices for a workshop to discuss and demonstrate some early developments in fifth generation "5G" mobile technology. If there's one key message to take away from the workshop, it's that the race to 5G is on, and its future potential is unbounded.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and Commissioner Michael O'Rielly kicked off the workshop by reiterating the agency's commitment to jumpstarting 5G deployment. Beyond making more spectrum available to "let innovators innovate," the Chairman highlighted another essential component of 5G – infrastructure. For that, "more than just good spectrum policy is required" he said, citing the need for local governments to implement policies that facilitate the infrastructure deployments necessary to support 5G and noting that "the wireless future depends on wired connectivity in so many ways". Commissioner O'Rielly echoed the need to reduce burdens on infrastructure siting.
Just as Verizon invested billions to be the first mobile carrier to deploy our world leading 4G LTE network, we plan to do the same for 5G. Sanyogita Shamsunder, Verizon's Director of Wireless and Technology Strategy, outlined this commitment during the opening panel, and walked through Verizon's experiences in early testing of 5G. She also lauded the work of our vendor partners in the 5G Technology Forum that we launched earlier this year. Forum partners Ericsson, Intel, Nokia, Samsung, and Qualcomm were on the scene and provided eye-catching demos that offered a glimpse of the possibilities -- blazingly fast speeds and imperceptible lag times. For example, from inside the FCC in southwest Washington, DC, using 5G technology, Ericsson operated an excavator located 1300 miles away in Dallas, Texas without any delay between command and equipment response.
As we've outlined elsewhere, this is just the tip of the iceberg for 5G technology. One thing that all the panelists made clear was that we have not begun to imagine all the transformative applications on the 5G horizon.
The FCC's workshop offered a tantalizing peek of the 5G future. Continued collaboration between technology leaders and government officials will help ensure that the right policies are in place to ensure that we move quickly and that the U.S. retains its leadership position as we move from 4G to 5G. Yesterday's workshop was an important step – continue to watch this space as we move forward.
Strong FCC leadership in spectrum policy will kickstart America's 5G future.

What the critics are saying about Way-To-Go Productions:
"Oh, Canada, We Sing For Thee leaves audiences cheering. The show is a terrific musical celebration of the Great White North ... The powerful finale was breathtaking!"
Morrisburg Leader, 2015
"It's impossible to keep your toes from tapping"
Collingwood Enterprise
"The crowd-pleasing finale being provided by Leisa Way, a honey of an entertainer. Having dazzled crowds for years as Patsy Cline, she now turns to Dolly Parton in Rhinestone Cowgirl".
The Toronto Star
"You can't get better performers than these musicians anywhere. Way's Country Jukebox is upbeat, humourous and musically, a knockout".
Morrisburg Leader
"Leisa Way, star of "Sweet Dreams", a brilliant portrayal of the music of Patsy Cline, has created another smash hit with her new show - Rhinestone Cowgirl: A Tribute to Dolly Parton!"
Petrolia Topic, Ontario
"Leisa Way sings her heart out in the fabulous Rhinestone Cowgirl".
Blue Mountain News
"A Canadian singer with a beautiful voice….an artist of grand talent".
Radio Lyon, France
"Way's new concert, Rhinestone Cowgirl: A Tribute to Dolly Parton, is designed to leave audiences amazed, hugely entertained, and clamouring for more. It's not just that Way has a voice with extraordinary range and power, she also manages to capture the essence of Dolly Parton, a star for over five decades. Leisa Way is spectacular in Rhinestone Cowgirl. All I can say is: What a band! What a show! What a lady!"
The Morrisburg Leader
"Leisa Way's brilliant portrayal of this unforgettable country music icon has to be her greatest triumph to date"
Country Music Jukebox, Germany
"Playhouse audiences packed the house this Spring when Leisa Way and her incredible 5-piece band, The Wayward Wind Band, hit the stage with their popular live concert, Rhinestone Cowgirl, of Dolly Parton's greatest hits. 'People filled the place for every show,' said Artistic Director Donnie Bowes, 'and we knew that we were going to have to book a return engagement. There's nothing like a stage full of talented musicians doing what they do best — creating a sensational and dynamic concert right there in front of you!"
Cornwall Tourism
"You could literally feel the Playhouse seats bouncing to the great and much-loved Campbell tunes that Solomon delivered, one after another."
""You might not see yourself as a big time fan of country music, but Leisa Way's new production, Country Jukebox, making its debut at Upper Canada Playhouse, will surely go a long way to converting you. The show bursts from the gate with the Country Jukebox 'overture' and hits the ground running. Backed up by the incredible Wayward Wind band, and supported on lead vocals by Aaron Solomon and Randall Kempf (whose individual and collective talents are stunning) singer Leisa Way delivers a show for all musical tastes.
"Rhinestone Cowgirl: A Tribute to Dolly Parton, starring Leisa Way and The Wayward Wind, has become such a runaway hit that Theatre Orangeville has added an extra matinee performance on Sept. 25."
Wellington Advertiser
"Sudbury loves Dolly Parton. Sales have been so brisk for the run of Rhinestone Cowgirl: A Tribute to Dolly Parton, that the Sudbury Theatre Centre has convinced Leisa Way, the star of the concert, to add a matinee."
Sudbury Star
"Way's Dolly Parton show is more than just another tribute concert. She sings Dolly's songs, and then tells anecdotes and facts about Dolly's life between numbers….Way brought her popular Patsy Cline show to VPP last year, but this year's tribute to Dolly is even more entertaining and provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase Way's amazing vocal talent and comedic skills."
Entertain This Thought, London
"The real magic lies in hearing Way sing Dolly's songs….simply leaves the audience breathless when she sings one of Parton's greatest song-writing triumphs, "I Will Always Love You."
Seaway News, Cornwall, ON
"No one has come as close as Way in emulating the essence, the voice and the passion of the country music legend…. Way causes shivers with her grandiose voice."
Banner Review, 2005
"Leisa Way, starring in Sweet Dreams: A Tribute to Patsy Cline, is a powerhouse of a singer and entertainer. Although a tiny person, Way dominates the stage, filling every corner of the theatre with her rich, vibrant voice. And if ever an actor could be said to be "channelling" the late, much loved Patsy Cline, then that actor is unquestionably Way."
Seaway News
"Way is exceptional in the title role, erupting onto the stage in a bright red, fringed country outfit, complete with cowboy hat, and captivating the audience right from the beginning as she tells the story of Cline and her rise to stardom. With an incredible vocal range and musical talent, Way is at one point dancing across the stage to a fast, country tune, and then bringing her rich, vibrant voice to bear on a slow, moving ballad."
"Way's strong, heartfelt vocals evoke the kind of deep emotional response that was the hallmark of Cline's own performances. Songs like "I Fall To Pieces," "She's Got You," and "Crazy" still have the power to break your heart. But the show offers much more than hurtin' songs….Leisa Way and The Wayward Wind delivered the goods in full measure."
The Sarnia Observer
"Sweet Dreams: A Tribute to Patsy Cline is a beautifully staged, expertly lit production. However, it is the diminutive Leisa Way who gives the show it's soul. Completely at ease with her back-up musicians, able to charm the audience as much with her personality as her extraordinary voice, Way brings the spirit and the music of Patsy Cline to life for all of us."
"Seldom off the stage (except for some striking costume changes) during the entire concert, Way is the exuberant focal point of Country Jukebox. Her singing voice is a powerful and versatile instrument. Whether she is singing alone on stage, or harmonizing with Solomon and Kempf, her range and energy are phenomenal."
The Leader, Mo'burg
"A sensational concert"
The Clarington, Toronto

«Экспресс миллионеров» () — приключенческая комедия. Известен также под названием «Шанхайский экспресс» (). В 1986 году картина была номинирована в категории «Лучшая песня» на 6-й церемонии награждения Hong Kong Film Awards.

Сюжет

1939 год. Чхин Фонтхинь намеревается украсть продукты у солдат советской армии. Однако они его ловят и заставляют раздеться до нижнего белья, а потом вынуждают его танцевать. Фонтхинь сбегает, прихватив с собой гранаты, и кидает их в хижину. Вскоре Фонтхиня берёт в плен Лой Фук, чтобы отчитать его за преступления. Пленник пытается сбежать, но во время драки они попадают в снежный ком. Освободившись из снежного кома, Фук ищет беглеца. Неожиданно беглец спрыгивает с дерева на Фука, забирает его одежду и уходит в свой родной город.

Бандиты, одетые в полицейскую форму, поджигают здание. Чхоу Чёккинь и его пожарная команда спасают двух женщин. Во время пожара бандиты грабят местный банк, но управляющий банком успел предупредить горожан до ухода грабителей, и двое налётчиков отправляются за решётку. В связи с тем, что бандитам удалось забрать большую часть денег, мэр города И выступает перед горожанами. Чёккинь в это же время поддерживает жителей города, после чего получает пост руководителя городской службы безопасности.

Фонтхинь и его помощник приезжают в городскую гостиницу с тремя девушками. Его целью является возврат денег. Через город должен пройти поезд с большим количеством пассажиров, включая преступников и японских ниндзя. Для того, чтобы привлечь клиентов в свою гостиницу, Фонтхинь разрабатывает план по остановке поезда в городе. Фонтхинь направляется к железнодорожной станции на мотоцикле, но оттуда его прогоняет Чёккинь на лошади. Мотоциклист сбивает Чёккиня веткой дерева, а затем уезжает на его лошади. Позже Чёккинь застаёт Фонтхиня при подготовке взрыва на железной дороге. Завязывается драка, в результате которой Фонтхинь побеждает и ожидает поезда.

Во время прохождения поезда через территорию города один из пассажиров по имени Хонь бегает по крыше между своей женой и любовницей. Городские бандиты пытаются забраться на поезд: один из них с магнитами на теле ненароком примагничивается к поезду, второй использует верёвку. Тем не менее верёвка задевает Хоня, и бандит вынужден бежать рядом с поездом. Остальные бандиты используют тележку, чтобы догнать поезд и, в конечном счёте, попадают в него. Фонтхинь взрывает железную дорогу, и поезд останавливается.

Как и предполагал взрыватель, пассажиры вынуждены переждать починку поезда в городе. В гостинице преступники разрабатывают план, чтобы попасть в комнату к любовнице Хоня, выдавая себя за японских туристов. Преступникам приходится спрятаться в комнате, когда туда входит машинист с любовницей. Когда машинист уходит в ванную, преступники пытаются незаметно улизнуть, но вынуждены снова спрятаться. В это же время Хонь спускается с крыши гостиницы, случайно напугав любовницу машиниста. Жена Хоня обвиняет мужа в измене. Чтобы всё уладить, Хонь утверждает, что является японским агентом. Этим пользуются преступники, чтобы уйти.

Когда Фонтхинь просит Чи отвлечь Чёккиня, она признаётся ему в любви. Чёккинь затем говорит ей, что занят, и уходит. Чи уговаривает его не уходить, после чего Чёккинь берёт в руки и целует её. Когда Чи хочет ещё поцеловать его и закрывает глаза, Чёккинь просит своих помощников встать на его место. Чи открывает глаза и убегает.

Лой Фук, вернувшись из Советского Сююза, совместно с Чёккинем берёт в плен Фонтхиня и помещает его в тюрьму. Ночью Сиухонь и её помощницы освобождают Фонтхиня. Остальные преступники приезжают в город на лошадях и берут в плен японских ниндзя.

Фонтхинь принимает решение вернуться, где освобождает бандитов, Фука, Чёккиня и Сиухонь. Спаситель сначала использует пулемёт, а затем и боевые навыки против налётчиков. Плохие парни терпят поражение, а Фонтхинь и Чёккинь забирают карту у японцев.
