Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: Hello. Thank you for joining this OncLive Peer Exchange® on "Novel Concepts in the Management of Multiple Myeloma." We continue to see dramatic shifts in the management of multiple myeloma. For newly diagnosed disease, we now have highly active regimens that achieve long-term remissions. In the relapsed/refractory setting, we have successfully improved outcomes by combining next-generation agents and monoclonal antibodies. As many patients are living with chronic myeloma, we are making efforts to better address long-term complications and improve quality of life. During this expert panel discussion, my colleagues and I will discuss the newest information available to help guide decision making in clinical practice.
I am Dr. Keith Stewart, the Vasek and Anna Maria Polak professor of cancer research at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. Joining me for this discussion are Dr. Ivan Borrello, associate professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of Cell Therapy Core at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center in Baltimore, Maryland; Dr. Sagar Lonial, professor and chair in the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Emory University School of Medicine and the chief medical officer of Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia; Dr. Thomas Martin, clinical professor of medicine and associate director of the Myeloma Program at the University of California, San Francisco, Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center; Dr. Gareth Morgan, professor of medicine, director of the Myeloma Institute, and deputy director of the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute at the University of Arkansas for Medical Science in Little Rock, Arkansas; and Dr. Saad Usmani, chief of the Plasma Cell Disorders Program and clinical professor of medicine in the Department of Hematology, Oncology and Blood Disorders at Levine Cancer Institute/Carolinas Healthcare System in Charlotte, North Carolina. Thank you all for joining this discussion. Let's begin.
We're going to start off with a newly diagnosed patient, and we're going to talk first about our goals of therapy today in 2017. I'm going to start with you, Gareth. You're working at the University of Arkansas. There's a reputation there for treating myeloma fairly aggressively. When you start treatment, what is the end game of your therapy?
Gareth Morgan, MD, PhD: I think things have changed in the last few years. It used to be sufficient to achieve a remission, but I think there is so much potential for residual disease to be left within that definition that people have started to use definitions of complete response that include MRD [minimal residual disease] status, by which I mean the level of residual disease.
Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: Your goal when you start therapy is to aim for a very deep remission right off the bat?
Gareth Morgan, MD, PhD: Yes, I think that is the aim of treatment in the modern world—to achieve MRD-negative complete remissions. You don't have to achieve that in the first month, but it's ultimately where you should aim to get all patients.
Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: Saad, would you agree with that? What's your approach in the Carolinas?
Saad Z. Usmani, MD: I would agree with that for younger, more robust, transplant-eligible patients. But for elderly patients, I think you have to compromise a little bit on efficacy for the tolerability and safety. So yes, achievement of a deep response is important for those patients, but it may take a little longer than in the younger patients.
Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: Ivan, does it matter how fast you get a response? Does that matter anymore? Is slow better sometimes?
Ivan M. Borrello, MD: I think if there's a patient who presents in extremis, in acute renal failure, then the rapidity of the reduction of the disease burden is important. But those, fortunately, occur in few patients. In the vast majority, not necessarily. What I've seen is that as long as the trend is going in the right direction, certainly, I think that allows us to deliver therapy with potentially less intensity and less toxicity that can be done over a longer period of time.
Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: Maybe I'll just get the last 2 of our panelists to comment on this quickly. Tom, what is your approach in San Francisco?
Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: What is your frontline therapy of choice for both a younger and a more elderly patient? Sagar, I'd like to start with you.
Sagar Lonial, MD: For the transplant-eligible patient, our upfront regimen of choice is bortezomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. For the older, truly frail patient, because I think everybody else would be put in that category, it's probably lenalidomide and dexamethasone. And now there may be talk about an antibody there.
Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: Gareth, I'm going to come to you last because I think you may be a little bit of an outlier. Ivan, what's your upfront therapy?
Ivan M. Borrello, MD: I agree with Sagar. It's a proteasome inhibitor, an IMiD [immunomodulatory imide drug], and for the most part, we've been using bortezomib and lenalidomide. We have not adopted carfilzomib as an upfront therapy, not to say that maybe that won't change our decisions with new emerging data coming out. And if they're truly frail, then a 2-drug regimen is probably a safer thing to do versus a 3-drug regimen. We have used 3 drugs in an elderly population, just less dose intensely.
Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: Are any of you using carfilzomib on a routine, regular basis, or still in clinical trials? Tom?
Thomas G. Martin, MD: In patients who are less than 50 years of age, we use carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone as our frontline therapy.
Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: Why 50? That's a pretty young cutoff? Why not 55?
Thomas G. Martin, MD: That's a good question. We see a fair amount of people who are less than age 50. I will also do it in patients between ages 50 and 60. At an age of less than 50, they don't even bat an eyelash. They can take carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone to transplant and then more of that for upward of a year to 2 years and have no problem whatsoever, with the goal of achieving MRD negativity. In patients who have high-risk cytogenetics—say they have 17p deletion or t[4;14] deletion or 1q gain—I start right out of the gate with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone.
Keith Stewart, MB, ChB: And Gareth, the last word goes to you on this point.
Gareth Morgan, MD, PhD: We try to customize the induction regimen to the patient. We still use combinations with some classic chemotherapy agents. And then we harvest stem cells and move on to some form of stem cell transplantation. But we are aiming each point in the process to achieve increasing remissions—aiming for MRD negativity ultimately.

What's on Netflix > Netflix News > LGBT+ Documentary 'Circus of Books' Coming to Netflix April 2020
LGBT+ Documentary 'Circus of Books' Coming to Netflix April 2020
Arriving on Netflix later this April is one of the most important documentaries of the LBGT+ community. We have everything you need to learn about the documentary, Circus of Books, which includes the synopsis, runtime and Netflix release date.
Circus of Books is an upcoming Netflix Original documentary by Rachel Mason, documenting the life and history of her parent's ownership of the Santa Monica bookstore, Circus of Books.
When is the Netflix release date for Circus of Books?
You'll be able to stream Circus of Books on Netflix worldwide when it arrives on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020.
Circus of Books made its debut almost a year ago when it featured in the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2019.
What is Circus of Books?
The following synopsis for Circus of Books has been provided by Netflix:
For over 35 years, the gay porn shop Circus of Books gave Los Angeles' LGBT+ community a space to socialize and celebrate themselves without judgment. Executive produced by Ryan Murphy, Circus of Books is the debut documentary from artist Rachel Mason, who finally asks the least radical people she knows her parents how they became American's biggest distributors of gay porn.
Who are Karen and Barry Mason?
Heroes of the LGBTQ+ community, Karen and Barry Mason are the owners of a Santa Monica adult book store, Circus of Books.
After falling on hard times in the mid-70s, to ensure they could find a way to support their family, the Masons answered an ad in the Los Angeles Times.
The ad in question was for Larry Flynt's pornographic magazine, Hustler. Becoming distributors of pornographic paraphernalia, within ten years the Masons had become the biggest distributor of Gay Porn in America.
Over the years Circus of Books became a safe haven for the community, but the Masons had to lead a double life at a time when the LGBTQ+ community was wildly unaccepted, especially in conservative America.
Despite being faced with potential jail sentences, the family persevered and continued to support the community, especially during the height of the AIDS crisis, offering support to those in need who had been abandoned by their families because of their sexuality.
Over 40 years on and Circus of Books still continues to thrive in the LTBGQ+ community, cementing the Masons' place in history as one of the most influential supporters of a disenfranchised and persecuted community.
What is the run time of Circus of Books?
Not an immensely long documentary, the run time of Circus of Books is 92 minutes.
Is Circus of Books suitable for children?
For young children, definitely not due its content surrounding the distribution of porn, and other sexual paraphernalia.
We certainly think Circus of Books may be educational for teenagers, especially those who wish to learn more about the history of the LGBT+ community and the hardships they faced.
Will you be watching Circus of Books on Netflix? Let us know in the comments below!

I now have a Patreon Page where you guys can support me while I work on Vanilla WoW leveling guides every day. I appreciate all of you who support me on there, it means a lot to me right now. Doing this full time is taxing on my financial situation. My goal is to make the best Vanilla WoW leveling guides on the web and the donations keep me going at it healthfully. There is also cool rewards you get in return for donating. Thanks!
FYI: If you're returning to WoW after an extended absence prior to patch 5.0.1, it's possible that you'll have more than the maximum pet limit and/or more than 3 of a kind. However, this will be the only time that you're allowed to surpass these limits. You will have to pare down your collection, eliminating your duplicates, in order to add new pets.
Step-by-step class guides are on the way! The 1-12 Mulgore Guide is the first guide to get all the individual class steps. At the top of the guide, simply select which class you are playing and the page will dynamically update all the steps in the guide for that class (both text and images). The rest of the guides will be slowly updated overtime to include all the class steps, but you can see how it's going to work with the 1-12 Mulgore. I want to thank crazyK and his Placeholderguild for helping me out with the individual class content. They are allowing me to get the 1-60 Alliance guide done while also getting all the class steps done at the same time, so everything can be ready for Classic launch (hopefully).
Arms: Sharpen Blade - When activated, your next Mortal Strike will deal 15% increased damage and reduce healing taken by 50% for 6 sec. Fury: Battle Trance - You go into a trance causing you to regenerate 3% of your health and generate 5 Rage every 3 sec for 18 sec after using Raging Blow twice in a row on a target. Using Raging Blow on a new target will cancel this effect. Protection: Thunderstruck - Thunder Clap roots all targets for 1 sec. You can find a list of all Essences available in Rise of Azshara here.
The argument for this is simple: what makes classic WoW great to one player might be different from what makes it great for another. And who are Blizzard's designers to say which old features were just good or bad design for each player? It's an approach that shows Blizzard believes (at least to some degree) that WoW doesn't just belong to its creators but to its fans. That struggle between authorial intent or game design orthodoxy and "the player is always right" is at the heart of many of gaming's big contemporary controversies. But so far, Blizzard seems committed to its plan with regard to WoW Classic.
For example, the Azure Whelpling belongs to the Dragonkin family. However, it has Beast, Magic, and Elemental abilities in addition to a Dragonkin attack. Different attacks are strong and weak against different family types. Having a diverse spell selection might increase your chances of being prepared with a strong attack against an opposing team.
I consider myself a purist in that I would prefer classic to be released as close as possible to the original. Where that is on the spectrum of patch content will be up to blizz. I'm also not vane enough to believe that any single state of the game is the "Ideal" location we should be aiming for. There is common ground that we can agree on, and I would welcome more than a few changes as long as they are made in the spirit of keeping classic on the vanilla rails.
Holy: Divine Favor - Your next Holy Light or Flash of Light is increased by 100%, costs no mana and is unable to be interrupted. Protection: Steed of Glory - Your Divine Steed lasts for an additional 2 sec. While active you become immune to movement impairing effects, and you knock back enemies that you move through. Retribution: Unbound Freedom - Blessing of Freedom also increases movement speed by 30%. Priest
So far my favorite take is, of all things, this forum thread where the sheer volume of people reporting things as bugs that aren't bugs, but just the way the game worked back then. I think I laughed the hardest at Warrior health regeneration is working at the expected rate, which is a very nice way of saying Yes, you're dying a lot, that's how it was for Warriors back then. I've said it before and I know I'll say it again, but guys, all those supposed 'dumbing down' changes that got made between then and now were for a reason, and in a lot of cases? That reason was because it's awful. Much of WoW Classic is going to feel like getting a sandpaper massage compared to the game as it is now — a whole host of conveniences and improvements have been made over the years.
Feb 6, 2018 ======= Can't Find the Right Class/Race/Alt? ... ^ Is that big enough? If you're giving advice or answering these threads, see guidelines at the end of this guide. I'm a regular poster on this forum, and one of the most common threads is the classic "I don't know what class/race to be" thread. The main problem with these threads is that the original poster often doesn't give readers enough information to make any suggestions. Help us out, and we'll try to help you :) This is a guide on how to write a detailed "Help me find a class/race" thread. This is not a guide on how to find the right class/race...just on how to ask for help about it. Both sections here can have some gray area, so don't be afraid to give us more information. It's just that veteran WoW players usually know a bit more about the classes themselves so they have more background. They also know more terminology, so it's easier to interrogate them. NEW ADDITION: ICE'S CLASS/RACE SPINNERS! http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2969/classspinner.jpg ... THINGS THAT DO NOT MATTER: Faction. All classes can be played on both factions. Survivability. Seriously, you can live to hit the level cap. All classes have this. PvP viability. Again, all classes have this. Doesn't matter unless you're twinking. Raid/group desirability. The only reason you'd be refused from a group is because 1) you're undergeared/bad or 2) they have a lot of that class already. Everyone is viable - DPS are balanced, healers are balanced, tanks are balanced. You want the "best" class/race combo. There isn't a best combo or a best class or a best race. It doesn't exist. Most OP (overpowered) class. Blizzard changes the class balance so much that leveling something purely to be "overpowered" is a futile idea. By the time you hit level cap, the balance would have shifted. Right now there ISN'T a super godly class anyway. Most fun class. I want a bumper sticker that says "Fun is subjective." What I think is fun might not be your cup of tea, so making a good suggestion for you based on "fun" isn't going to be accurate. Use this chart: low Impact on Performance high 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 class gear skill spec IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE GAME AND HAVE NEVER PLAYED: ---> OR HAVE NOT REACHED LEVEL 60 YET Do you want to have a permanent pet? Is a temporary one okay with you? Or does it not matter if you have a pet? Are you partial to cloth wearers or do you want a little more bulk in your armor? What have you played in other games before? Maybe you played a caster in another game and liked it, or have a fondness for barbarians/warriors. WoW might have a rough equivalent for you! Do you want to be able to heal yourself and others, or are you okay with lacking those spells? Which is your preference: attacking enemies from a distance or being up in their faces? Are you the sneaky type or do you take pleasure ripping out internal organs as a greeting right off the bat? Do you want to be on the front lines with a shield or watching over your group to keep them safe? Will you be leveling with a friend or mostly on your own? If you're doing it with a friend, what are they planning to level, or have they not decided yet? Have you read about classes at all yet? If so, what stands out as interesting to you? Have you tried any classes already? Are you interested in the lore or story of Warcraft? Some classes have a lot of easily-absorbed lore while others are a little "less detailed" in their history. Interested in roleplaying at all? This goes with the previous question, but some races/classes are easier to roleplay as a newbie than others (with lots of history to adhere to). Do any of the races stick out to you as being attractive? Not every race can be every class, so if you have an early favorite (or if you really dislike one in particular) this can narrow things down.Icedragon172	Feb 6, 2018

Peter Newbrook's The Asphyx has a fascinating, if awkward idea. It seems that a creature called the "Asphyx" comes for your soul at the moment of death. At the turn of the century, a scientist and photographer, Sir Hugo Cunningham (Robert Stephens), discovers that the Asphyx can be photographed -- it appears as a smudge -- and is affected by light. He discovers that a certain kind of light source traps the Asphyx and that a special kind of box, with a constant light source, can keep the Asphyx incarcerated forever. If a person's Asphyx can't get to them, then it follows that the person will be immortal.
The movie makes a big deal out of this capturing process, but it's so complex, and with so many parts, that anything can go wrong, and usually does. In one experiment, two scientists -- Sir Hugo and his adopted son Giles (Robert Powell) -- somehow forget that they needed a third person to open the door of the trap. (For some reason, someone needs to keep a hand on the light switch constantly.) In another scene, a loose Guinea pig chews a hole in an important cable.
The Asphyx relies perhaps too much on absurd scenes like these, including the stupid deaths of Hugo's loved ones, and a completely arbitrary scene in which Hugo is asked to photograph the hanging of a condemned man -- for posterity. But this device also allows him, far too conveniently, to solve the puzzle of the Asphyx. But plot logic set aside, The Asphyx succeeds on the strength of its idea. The scientists have several arguments over what it all means, and these are always fascinating.
Director Newbrook was better known as a secondary camera operator on some major films and the lead cinematographer on some minor films. This was his only directorial outing. He makes brilliant use of the huge Cunningham estate, with its libraries and laboratories; everything is made of brown stones, decorated with little bursts of color throughout the frame. The period costumes and antique lab equipment are made to seem deliberately cumbersome, adding to a sense of unease. (Add to this the unholy screeching of the Asphyx itself.) A bizarre opening scene seems to be disconnected with the rest of the narrative, but it creates a full circle if you watch it again after the end. Overall, this is a unique and memorable little chiller.
Kino Lorber released the DVD under their "Redemption" label. The transfer is superb (a Blu-Ray is also available). The main version runs 86 minutes, but an extended version is also available from the extras menu. It includes low-quality footage that does not quite mesh with the restored footage, and so it's recommended for die-hards only. Other extras include a photo gallery and trailers.

In a discussion with Shannon Sharpe and Joy Taylor, Skip Bayless explains why Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will Super Bowl LII, although Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles have a better overall team.
- You've got the Eagles, they're the underdogs and they love it. So they're feeding on that. And now, it looks like a Patriot's staffer was photographed yesterday carrying what looked like a script for Tom Brady's acceptance speech for MVP. And I'm not going to be shocked if he wins MVP. But the Eagles are going to be like, oh. It's almost like the Heisman winner has to go play a bowl game now. Right?
- What happened to Matt Ryan last year. He won the MVP on Saturday night, and he kind of stunk it up on Sunday, wouldn't you say?
- No, Skip. He played really well.
- I don't think he played that well.
- Skip, he only missed six throws.
- OK. But again, when the money was on the table the other quarterback played far better.
- Well here's the thing, he had the game won. They already had an eight point lead. He throws a what, 22 yard completion?
- If you don't get another yard your guys are going to try to come out on the field and kick a 42-yard field goal to put you up a 11, and basically ice the ball game. He made a mistake . He knows he can't take a sac in that situation, Skip. You can't. You just can't.
- OK. So all of that said, motivation on Eagles side, strategy, maybe not strategy, but just X's and O's, the talent, it's all on Eagles side.
- I wrestled. I slept on it. I woke up. And I still come down to this. I'm going to say it one more time, there's one man in sports I don't bet against and it's number 12 for the New England Patriots. And all I know is that in five Super Bowls that he has won, he has conducted game-winning drives in all five of them, in the fourth quarter, game-winning drives.
So wouldn't history scream at you that this game sets up perfectly for here we go again?
- --in every game, nail-biter, barn burner, down to the wire. Right?
SHANNON SHARPE: All the games that they've played in is about a 5 points differential.
SHANNON SHARPE: Sixteen. I'm talking about if you look at the games the Patriots were involved in.
- --they've won by an average of 3.7 points.
SHANNON SHARPE: --almost 16, correct.
- That's shocking to me.
- OK. So I'm going to go with history, but I'm going to go lower scoring because I think this is going to be yet another grind for Tom Brady's offense.
I think it's a really good defense playing at an extremely high level under Jim Schwartz. So I'm going much lower scoring than I see other people pick. I'm going to go Tom Brady, 22 to Eagles, 17, 20 to 17, which would be reminiscent of the first Super Bowl that Tom Brady won as a, quote unquote, "game manager." And it may feel like he's having to manage this game because I don't think it's going to be a lot of pitch and catch going on.

Q: How should I backup this large volume? I have a 10TB XFS filesystem on a SLES 10.2 server.  I am currently running rsync on it once per day, to sync it with a disk-based online backup on another server.  The primary volume is quite busy as it is, and so rsync is only running at 2MB/sec on average.  However, I can scp a file and get >50MB/sec to the same destination.  This leads me to believe that rsync is overburdened with deciding what to transfer, not actually transfering.
What other ways can I achieve this type of synthetic full backup?  What are the relative pros/cons of the following ideas:

*

*Use xfsdump, piped through ssh or similar, to xfsrestore on the destination.  Can it do incrementals when used in this way?

*Some of sort of asyncronous block replication using drbd or similar.

*Some better use of rsync such as looser comparison criteria.  I'm currently using
rsync -aqAX --numeric-ids --delete-during --files-from=foo ...

A: First of all I suggest there is probably a way to make rsync handle this better. Have you tried turning off deltas / partial file transfers? Only matching by time?
Secondly, skip the bit about xfsdump etc. Even if you get something working along those lines it is going to be fragile and will be a restore nightmare.
Lastly, because of the size of your data set and the problems you're hitting, I suggest looking into the use of LVM volumes. By putting your data inside an LVM volume you would get the ability to snapshot it without taking anything offline, then rsync/backup the snapshot at your leisure. This would free up a lot of file locking issues and avoid problems with data inconsistency. It's also likely there are tools related to using LVM snapshots for backup that are more efficient than rsync because they make use of lower level knowledge about the file system. Something to look into.

A: xfsdump/xfsrestore is far from fragile.  It is an extremely fast and efficient method to backup xfs.  These tools are developed along with the xfs filesystem.  And yes, xfsdump can do incrementals - this is standard for any dump like tool.
Having said that, rsync can do a 'quick check' so you may want to look at that.  Just search the man page for 'quick check'.

Pokemon Direct - Pokémon Sword & Shield Gets Expansion Pass With New Areas
BK Nath January 10, 2020 0 Comments
Pokemon Nintendo Direct:
At Nintendo Direct for Pokémon, the Japanese presented "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon" for the Switch and the expansion pass for "Sword & Shield".
At first, it was just rumoured, then Nintendo made it official. On January 9, 2020, there was a new Nintendo Direct dedicated to Pokémon.
Nintendo has a look at the future of Pokémon. Fans can look forward to "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon". A remake of the 14-year-old "Nintendo DS" game for the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo Direct - Pokémon Sword & Shield Expansion Pass:
'Pokemon Mystery Dungeon' will be released on March 6, 2020. A demo version is now available. Nintendo also showed the expansion pass for "Pokémon Sword & Shield" at Pokémon Direct.
The pass brings new adventures to the game and costs 29.99 euros. This includes new areas such as the "Isle of Armor", the snow area "The Snow Land of the Crown", new outfit options and more Pokémon.
At the end of June 2020, the "Isle of Armor" comes. The "Snow Land of the Crown" will appear in autumn 2020. Both new areas are in the expansion pass.
Each part will contain unknown areas of the gala region. Players can also find Pokémon not previously included on the new cards. There are said to be up to 200 new pocket monsters.
The new mentor Mastrich gives the player the new legendary Pokémon Dakuma on the "Isle of Armor".
With this, you have to defeat two new opponents. Depending on the version - "sword" or "shield" players fight against Sophora or Saverio.
The "Snowlands of the Crown" bring snow biomes and the legendary Pokémon Coronospa. It also brings a new co-op mode.
There, players can catch legendary Pokémon from other games. There will also be free updates for players without an expansion pass. These can be exchanged for the new Pokémon.
Pokemon direct - What is 'Pokémon Home'?
"Pokémon Home" is a cloud service for pocket monsters. With the Pokémon service, players should be able to swap across multiple games.
"Pokémon Home" is compatible with the games "Pokémon Go", "Pokémon Let's Go" and "Pokémon Sword & Shield". Nintendo plans to release more details in the course of the February 2020 release.
Pokemon Nintendo Direct: No new information about "Pokémon Sleep:
What Nintendo didn't address on Nintendo Direct was "Pokémon Sleep". It is an app to help you sleep. The basis for this is probably "Pokémon Go".
Again, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are closed. The app should enable Pokémons to be trained even while sleeping. Simply put, "Pokémon Sleep" is a sleep tracker.
Players can use it by starting "Pokémon Sleep" before bed and putting the smartphone on the mattress.
The device's sensors record how calm and how long players sleep. This information could then be used to develop Pokémon.
Pokemon direct - The Pokémon has never seen this before:
This has never been done before: The Pokémon role-playing games "Sword & Shield" receive extensions for the first time with a Season Pass. BILD reveals what else is happening in the world of Pokémon.
Pokemon direct - New regions, new monsters:
Until now, it was common for the two main games to be expanded by a third edition, but the currently successful "Pokémon: Sword & Shield" will receive paid downloadable content (DLCs) in 2020, which will also be available in a Season Pass.
"Isle of Armor" appears in June, "Snow Land of the Crown" in autumn (30 euros each). Both add-ons bring new regions, each with their own new Pokémon (also legendary!), New trainers and costumes.
What fans should be particularly pleased about: At the same time as the expansions, 200 old Pokémon will find their way into the games.
The purchase of additional content is not necessary, because the classic monsters can also be exchanged with other players.
Pokemon direct - Pokémon Home is coming:
Nintendo also announced the release of Pokémon Home in February. This is cloud storage that can be used to import Pokémon from older games (such as "Pokémon Go" and "Pokémon: Let's Play") into the new role-playing games.
Another game, "Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX" (2006), was also announced as a new edition for Nintendo Switch.
In the game, Pokémon fans slip into the roles of little monsters themselves. Date: March 6, 2020.

Q: Can you cheat contracts / asserts in SPARK? Suppose I have a subprogram written using the SPARK Ada subset with postconditions verifying some property - for example, that the returned array is sorted, whose body just calls out to a function external to SPARK - for example, a C/C++ function that sorts arrays. Is there any way to force SPARK to assume, after this call, that the array will be sorted?

A: In short, GNATprove takes a divide-and-conquer approach when analyzing code. The following explanation is incomplete and in practice things are slightly more complicated, but for the sake of understanding, it gives a useful perspective on how things work.
For each assertion, loop invariant and pre-/post-condition GNATprove creates verification conditions (VCs) that must be proven. Verification conditions are to be proven by assumptions and the semantics of the code.

*

*When a code section is being analyzed, and this code section starts just after a call to a subprogram, then any post-condition of that subprogram is assumed to hold.

*If that particular subprogram is implemented in SPARK, then GNATprove will try to proof that the post-conditions indeed hold by analyzing the subprogram. However, if the particular subprogram is not in SPARK (e.g., the subprogram is imported), then the post-conditions will remain assumptions and it is left to the developer to prove them by other means.
A nice example that illustrates the first point can be found in sections 1 and 2 of the recently published article The Work of Proof in SPARK (available here). Note in particular how a repeated call to the Increment function is being analyzed by GNATprove.
So, if you want SPARK to assume particular post-conditions to hold for a subprogram that is not in SPARK (an imported function, for example), just provide the post-conditions.


Litko will be helping out Dropzone Commander players with a new set of tokens and templates specifically designed for use with the popular minis game.
Litko will be helping Dropozone Commander players upgrade their game soon with a new line of gaming accessories compatible with the popular miniature wargame. The line will include Tactical flight bases which have the firing arcs laser etched into them, Blast/LZ Templates, Goal Oriented scenario tokens, Building Damage markers, and Faction specific activation tokens.
Working directly from gamer feedback, Litko has made each blast template to incorporate all firing arcs and center cuts to fit around the flight stand pole for perfect centering on flying models. The Goal oriented tokens will include the proportionate number of double-sided Possible and Revealed Objective tokens for both Objective scenario types. Over-sized and reverse etched for high visibility, the Building Markers won't ever be overlooked across war-torn skylines. Each faction specific token set strikingly features a unique icon and color for activation tokens along with Forward Air Controller tokens for your forces.
Litko has released a production photo of the entire line. Pricing to follow.


Today began drier and we returned to Trench 4, investigating the mound.
The turf was thin and the ground beneath compacted and dry. After some hard digging we initially wondered whether there might be a ditch, but this turned out to be a natural. Indeed, we finally concluded that there was no evidence that the mound was a monument. It is a compact ridge of glacial sand and gravels that was likely shaped by a combination of weathering and agricultural activities.
Today's work might not have produced an especially exciting result, but at least we have resolved one of our research questions. Tomorrow, we begin digging around the decorated boulders.

F1 News: Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto resigns
Mattia Binotto resigned as Ferrari's team principal on Tuesday after weeks of speculation about his future with the Formula 1 team.
Binotto, 53, ends a 28-year stint with Ferrari, including serving as team principal of the F1 team since 2019.
The team shut down rumors earlier this month that Binotto was going to be fired as Ferrari finished a distant second to Red Bull in the 2022 Constructors Standings despite winning two of the first three races of the season.
However, Binotto decided to leave on his own terms.
"With the regret that this entails, I have decided to conclude my collaboration with Ferrari," Binotto said in a statement. "I am leaving a company that I love, which I have been part of for 28 years, with the serenity that comes from the conviction that I have made every effort to achieve the objectives set."
"I leave a united and growing team. A strong team, ready, I'm sure, to achieve the highest goals, to which I wish all the best for the future. I think it is right to take this step at this time as hard as this decision has been for me.
"I would like to thank all the people at the Gestione Sportiva who have shared this journey with me, made up of difficulties but also of great satisfaction."
Binotto joined Ferrari in 1995 and will officially leave his role at the end of the calendar year.
Ferrari stumbled to a sixth-place finish in 2020 following a private settlement with the FIA over the team's engine from the previous year that was deemed to be illegal.
Binotto directed the overhaul of the team's car that was able to overtake Mercedes in 2022. However, Ferrari was plagued by strategy errors and reliability issues, finishing 205 points behind Red Bull, as star driver Charles Leclerc regularly voiced his frustrations.
Leclerc also finished second in the drivers standings to Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
"I would like to thank Mattia for his many great contributions over 28 years with Ferrari and particularly for leading the team back to a position of competitiveness during this past year," Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna said in a statement.
"As a result, we are in a strong position to renew our challenge, above all for our amazing fans around the world, to win the ultimate prize in motorsport. Everyone here at the Scuderia and in the wider Ferrari community wishes Mattia well for the future."
Alfa Romeo boss Fred Vasseur, who worked with Leclerc during his rookie season in 2018, is believed to be among the frontrunners to replace Binotto.
A replacement is expected to be named before the start of preseason testing in February.

There are an abundance of paths that can be pursued with a degree in the sciences. As part of our Women in STEM project, the careers of six women were explored. The sheer number of jobs related to science lend themselves to a list of women in distinct areas of the discipline. The Women in STEM Science category comprises educators, researchers, a chemist, an astrophysicist, an anthropologist, and a sociologist. This variety showcases just a small portion of the ever-growing domain of the sciences. The outstanding work done by Drs. Light, Hua, Wagaw, Weaver, Chatterji, and Cooper demonstrate the capabilities of women in science, and Women in STEM. To learn more about our six Women in Science, check out their individual summaries below, follow us at @WSKGScience on Instagram or on Twitter @NancyCoddington @JulD22 for more inspiring #WomenInSTEM.
Dr. Caitlin Light
Dr. Caitlin Light is a Research Assistant Professor of the First-Year Research Immersion (FRI) Program at Binghamton University. Over a three-semester period, Dr. Light educates students in microbiology with a focus on biofilms. Biofilms are bacterial colonies encased in a matrix that adheres to a surface. These bacteria have significance in human health because the matrix supplies the colonies with extreme resistance to treatment, allowing biofilm infections to persist in hosts. Work from the Light Lab is rooted in the establishment of a higher understanding of biofilm biology to better target biofilm-based problems.
Dr. Jessica Hua
Dr. Jessica Hua is an Associate Professor at Binghamton University. She was also recently given the position of Director at the university's Center for Integrated Watershed Studies. Aside from these roles, Dr. Hua is an ecological researcher. Studies done by the Hua Lab have found that some frogs have tolerance to a parasite constantly, whereas other frogs are only tolerant when they must be. This difference can be attributed to the benefits of biodiversity. Upcoming work for this lab focuses on how contaminants impact the way organisms feed. Frogs are being studied in this work to observe the effects of microplastics on tadpole populations in relation to parasite interactions.
Dr. Seble Wagaw
Dr. Seble Wagaw is an organic chemist. While earning her Ph. D she worked with varying palladium-containing molecules, called palladium complexes, to create carbon-nitrogen bonds on aryl rings. Her background in chemistry allowed her to obtain a position at the biopharmaceutical company AbbVie. Upon graduation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Wagaw secured the position of Director in the Pharmaceutical Development department of the company. She was later promoted to Senior Director for Process Research and R&D which she continues to serve as currently. In addition to these accomplishments, Dr. Wagaw is also on the advisory board for Asymchem which is a company that provides R&D and production services to pharmaceutical companies.
Dr. Kim Weaver
Dr. Kim Weaver is an astrophysicist for NASA. She works in the X-Ray astrophysics lab at the Goddard Space Flight Center. She was also an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University. Past work of hers includes research conducted with the Chandra X-Ray Telescope. Work with this massive telescope enabled Dr. Weaver to identify and observe black holes, leading to increased understanding of the ability of these astronomical objects to trap objects in orbits around them. Today, Dr. Weaver continues to work for NASA as a member of the X-ray astrophysics lab.
Dr. Angana Chatterji
Dr. Angana Chatterji is a Research Anthropologist at the University of California, Berkeley. Also at the university, Dr. Chatterji founded and serves as Co-Chair of the Political Conflict, Gender, and People's Rights Initiative. Her decades-long work has enabled her to serve on several human rights commissions. Examples of these opportunities include testimonies given at the United Nations and the United States Congress. Within her work as a Cultural Anthropologist, Dr. Chatterji has also published several books and research reports. She is currently working on a new title: Land and Justice: The Struggle for Cultural Survival.
Dr. Anna J. Cooper
Dr. Anna J. Cooper was a sociologist who took on many different roles throughout her life. She co-founded the Colored Women's League in 1892 which worked to bolster the unity and social interests of African Americans. Dr. Cooper also worked as a teacher and principal at M Street High School. During her time at the school, she wrote and published a book titled A Voice from the South: By A Black Woman of the South. The book acknowledges several issues, such as women's rights and the education of black women. The piece is also distinctive in that it confronts various representations of African Americans in literature for their many inaccuracies.

Energy-aware feedback control for production scheduling and capacity control
Seokgi Lee, Vittaldas V. Prabhu
Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
In this paper, we propose an energy-aware feedback control model for production scheduling and capacity control. Specifically, we integrate functions of production scheduling and capacity control, taking into account the costs of energy consumption and machine maintenance varied by production capacity, and the penalty cost imposed by just-in-time production requirements. Continuous control variables are used to adjust the system and the resulting dynamics are modelled. Computational experiments show that interrelated dynamics among these three performance factors are well explained by the proposed controllers, and considerably better energy performance, about 20.0-40.0% improvement, in an energy-aware production compared to a conventional strategy.

Sage, or Salvia Officinalis, as it is known in botanical nomenclature system. This essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of sage leaves and is constituted mainly of Aesculetin, Alpha Humulene, Alpha Thujene, Alpha Thujone, Alpha Terpineol, Alpha Terpenines, Alpha Pinene, Alpha Maaliene, Aromadendrene, Beta Pinene, Beta Copaene, Beta Thujone, Borneol, Camphor, Cineole, Caryophyllene Oxide, Camphene, Delta Cadinenes, Linalool, Limonene, Myrcene, Ocimenes, Octenol, Paracymene, Para Cymenol, Salviol, Terpineol, Thujanol and Terpinolene.
The health benefits of sage essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an antifungal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antibacterial, cholagogues and choleretic, cicatrizant, depurative, digestive, disinfectant, emmenagogue, expectorant, febrifuge, laxative and stimulating substance.
Sage essential oil can be segmented into source, application, and distribution channel.
By source, sage essential oil market is segmented into organic sage essential oil and conventional sage essential oil. The organic sage essential oil segment is anticipated to dominate the conventional sage essential oil segment over the years. Organic products are considered to be healthier and pure, thus increasing acceptance for organic labelled products among the consumers is expected to support the segment growth over the forecast period.
Regarding application, sage essential oil is mainly used in cosmetic industry and pharmaceutical industry. Sage essential oil play a pivotal role in the cosmetic industry. The sage essential oil is an antioxidant agent; it is extensively used in the anti-aging process and for several skin treatment. In pharmaceutical industry, it serves as an antiseptic for wounds, surgical incisions, post natal injuries, ulcers, and sores. In the world of trilogy, sage essential oil are tonic and useful for hair conditioning and darkening it.
Growing consumer preference for cosmetic products containing natural ingredient is major factor driving growth of sage essential oil market. A shift of preference towards natural and organic beauty products, particularly in the U.S. and European countries, is expected to drive the sage essential oil market growth particularly in these countries.
Since Sage cultivation is majorly found in Northern parts of America and several other regions of Europe, they hold the significant share in this market. North America and European region are projected to be the largest market in terms of value growth, attributed to growth of cosmetic industry and preference for nutritional enriched products. Asia-Pacific market is anticipated to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. It is estimated that The Middle East and Africa (MEA) will be the fastest-growing region in beauty and personal care products over the next five years. The MEA's market will grow at a significant rate over the next five years. Owing to this, the ingredient like sage essential oil playing an important role in a world of cosmetics which is expecting to the major factor driving growth in these regions.

As new we invented and discovered new ways to travel, time decreased while the ability to move more and larger loads increased. With continuing development in transport facilities, we are finding new ways to reduce costs and increase transport efficiency.
A proper, extensive and efficient transport is a key factor to social, regional and economic development. It is through this that the people connect with one another leading to progress and social integration.
Understanding the need and the importance of various transportation systems in our country, India Post had released its mega stamp issue on means of transport on 25th March 2017. This "Means of Transport through the ages on stamps" includes 20 stamps, six sheetlets, and four miniature sheets.
The first amongst this evolution of stamps is the "wheel-less vehicles" more commonly known as "palkhis" in India. These covered litters are usually for one passenger, carried by bearers. It was a type of human-powered transport. The word is derived from the Sanskrit "palyanka". The palkhis vary in size and grandeur.
Did you know that in the early 19th century, the most prevalent mode of long-distance transport for the affluent class was by palanquin?
The Post Office could arrange, with a few days notice, relays of bearers to convey a traveler's palanquin between stages or stations. The distance between these in the government's dak system averaged about 10 miles and could be covered in three hours. A passenger could travel straight through or break their journey at dak bungalows located at certain stations. Interesting isn't it?
The four stamps depict a different variety of palkhis on them. A "Lambi Palki" or a "Long Palanquin" which is open on two sides is depicted on 5 Rupee stamp. The second 10 rupee stamp depicts a "Meeyana Palki" which is a Palanquin open on all sides. A "Boutcha Palki" which is open on four sides and has a comfortable chair is depicted on 15 rupee stamp. The fourth stamp of 25 rupees depicts a "Chaupal Palki" or a "Chowpaul Palanquin" open on the sides and is more of a porter carried "bed".
The second set of four stamps depicts different models of animal-drawn carriages and carts used for transport. It is a means of transportation used since ancient times in many parts of the world. Carts and carriages are still used today where modern vehicles are too expensive. Used especially for carrying goods, these carts are pulled by one or several load-bearing animals like bullocks, oxen, horses etc. Traditionally, the cargo is usually agrarian goods and lumber.
The first of the four stamps depicts a wooden "Baille Gaadi" or a "Bullock Cart" which is a two-wheeled open vehicle drawn by oxen. This stamp is denominated at 5 rupees. The second stamp depicts a "Rath Baille Gaadi" or a "Rath Bullock Cart" which is a covered four-wheel vehicle on a 10 rupee stamp. The third stamp depicts a "Tanga" or a "Tonga", a one horse driven carriage on a 15 rupees stamp. The fourth stamp depicts a "Ghoda Gaadi" or "Horse Carriage" which is a four-wheel vehicle open on the sides on an Rs.25/- stamp.
Further development in the means of transportation can be seen when Rickshaws appeared in India. They were first seen in Shimla and then some 20 years later in Kolkata, where they were used by Chinese traders to transport goods. Around 1887, the Rickshaw was a two or three-wheeled passenger cart called a "Pulled Rickshaw", generally pulled by one man with one passenger. Over time, Cycle Rickshaws, Auto Rickshaws, and School Rickshaws came into usage.
The third set of four stamps depicts the different models of Rickshaws used for transport through the Ages. A "Cycle Rickshaw" which is a three-wheeled vehicle open in front and covered at the back is depicted on a 5 rupee stamp. The second a 10 rupee stamp depicts a "Motor Cycle Rickshaw" which is a canopied or covered three-wheel vehicle open on the sides. The third stamp depicts a "Haath Rickshaw" or a "Hand Rickshaw" which is a hand-pulled vehicle drawn by one to two porters on an Rs.15/- stamp. The fourth stamp depicts a "School Rickshaw" which is a three-wheel covered vehicle, with windows on the sides on a 25 rupee stamp.
The fourth set of four stamps depicts the different models of Vintage Cars used for transport through the Ages. A vintage car is, in the most general sense, an old automobile, and in the narrower senses of car enthusiasts and collectors, it is a car from the period of 1919 to 1930.
The vintage era in the automotive world was a time of transition. These vehicular beauties and rarities are depicted on these "Means of Transport through the ages on stamps".
The first of the four stamps depicts a "Rolls Royce" on a 5 rupees stamp. The second stamp depicts an "Austin 1926" on an Rs. 10/- stamp. The third stamp of 15 rupees depicts a "Chevrolet 1932". The fourth stamp that depicts a "Ford 1938" is a stamp of Rs.25/-.
Public Transport is the lifeline of social mobility. Public transport is a transport of passengers by group travel systems available for use by the general public, typically managed on a schedule, operated on established routes. Most popular modes of public transport include trains, buses, trams, and airlines.
The first of the four stamps depicts a "Tram" on an Rs.5/- denomination stamp. The second stamp depicts a "Metro Train" on an Rs.10/- stamp. The third depicts a "Double Decker Bus" on an Rs.15/- stamp. The fourth stamp depicts a "Bus" on Rs.25/- stamp.
A well-known and coordinated system of transport plays an important role in the sustained economic growth of a country. Wasn't it fun to trace the history transport through stamps?


Well, that's definitely the right topic for the::unwired - even if not Windows Mobile related. Anyhow - as good and powerful mobile devices are today, sooner or later every mobile device needs a charge: from a simple MP3 player to a mobile phone to a Notebook and today, all these devices are charged using a power cord. Nevertheless, a team at the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is working on the future in which wireless power transfer is feasible and charges devices without ever being plugged in, freeing us from that final, ubiquitous power wire. Some of these devices might not even need their bulky batteries to operate!
Realizing their recent theoretical prediction, they were able to light a 60W light bulb from a power source seven feet (more than two meters) away; there was no physical connection between the source and the appliance. The MIT team refers to its concept as "WiTricity" (as in wireless electricity). The work will be reported in the June 7 issue of Science Express, the advance online publication of the journal Science.
Way to go - after cutting the line from the phone it's definitely the right time to cut the power wire from mobile devices as well!
