Exclusive Q&A: Van Der Linde Going for Hat Trick in Third Intercontinental GT Challenge California 8 Hours
South African factory Audi driver set to defend 2017, 2018 titles at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca March 29-30
Event News March 21, 2019
Kelvin van der Linde stood atop the podium at both previous Intercontinental GT Challenge California 8 Hours events as a winning co-driver of the No. 44 Audi Sport Team Magnus Audi R8 LMS in 2017 and the No. 29 Audi Sport Team Land Audi R8 LMS in 2018. The 22-year-old South African driving ace is eyeing a three-peat at the West Coast's only professional endurance race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on March 29-30.
This year, van der Linde will enjoy some continuity when returning to the No. 29 Audi Sport Team Land Audi R8 LMS with one of his winning co-drivers from last October – German Christopher Mies, who recently drove for Audi in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship's GT Daytona class at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. Their other co-driver is German Markus Winkelhock, who van der Linde won with at Audi Sport Team Magnus in 2017.
Though van der Linde and Audi have dominated the first two years of the Intercontinental GT Challenge California 8 Hours, they face their most competitive grid during their quest for a three-peat. A record eight manufacturers are fielding full-time efforts in Intercontinental GT Challenge powered by Pirelli competition – Audi, Mercedes AMG, Porsche, Bentley, BMW, Nissan, Ferrari and Honda. Notable adversaries include Matt Campbell, the young Australian who made headlines with his victory for Porsche at the Bathurst 12 Hour, and Tristan Vautier, the French Mercedes AMG driver who clinched the drivers' championship at this event last October.
Van der Linde took a rare path toward international GT racing that is three generations in the making. European connections from his father's Touring Car racing career helped the two-time national karting champion find a way from South Africa to the thriving European GT endurance racing scene where he earned such accolades as becoming the 2014 ADAC GT Masters champion and winning the 2017 Nürburgring 24 Hour. This helped carve a path for brother Sheldon – a 19-year-old BMW factory driver – and fellow countrymen like Jordan Pepper.
Van der Linde took time to answer questions leading up to the Intercontinental GT Challenge California 8 Hours in this exclusive interview.
Q: We look forward to having you and the rest of the Intercontinental GT Challenge powered by Pirelli grid back for the California 8 Hours. The series continues to build momentum with eight full-time manufacturers this year. What are your thoughts on returning to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca?
A: That's for sure. I cannot wait to get back. I love going there. It's going to be cool. I don't get to race in America often, so I plan to stay for a little bit as well to see a little bit of California while I'm there.
Q: What was your impression of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and the surrounding area during your first two visits?
A: Obviously, the track is awesome for a driver. For our GT3 cars, it is fantastic. The only thing that we really fought with was tire dig for the endurance runs. That was a challenge. The area itself – I love it. There are some cool places to go and visit.
Q: Having competed in and won the California 8 Hours on two occasions, what kinds of strategy are at play? What kind of unique challenges does the circuit present?
A: Laguna Seca is quite unique in the sense that we raced with TCR cars and MARC cars in the past, so it really was a multiclass event. From that point of view, traffic management was pretty tricky, particularly at the Corkscrew. It is very important to stay off trouble. Avoiding any instances early on will keep you fit for a good run at the finish. There weren't that many safety cars, I would say, compared to a race like Bathurst or Spa, so from that point of view it was a bit more like a sprint race than a tactical race. It's very different. In Bathurst, sometimes there are so many safety cars that you don't really race at all because you know the safety cars are going to back everything up. In Laguna Seca the last two years, there were so few safety cars that you knew you just had to push because you didn't know if there would be a safety car before the end or not which is different than the other races we do on the Intercontinental GT Challenge. Winning it two times is something I didn't really expect, to be honest, but I had two great teams and driver lineups for both races. It worked out fantastically. That was obviously a proud moment for me.
Q: Why do you think that you and Audi have fared so well at the California 8 Hours?
A: I think the Audi R8 is suited very well to Laguna Seca. We are generally very good in low- and mid-speed corners. We are also very good at tire degradation. We manage our tires well, which is also very similar to the Mercedes that was very competitive at the race last year. Managing traffic really gave us the win last year more than outright pace. That's endurance racing. You have to make it to the finish without any scratches. You still must have a competitive car, which we did. In the end, it all worked out.
Q: What kind of fitness is involved in preparing for endurance races in various locations and conditions? How do you prepare?
A: I use the example that the actual loads are not as high as a driver would experience in Formula 1, but it is very repetitive because we are in the car for so long. F1 is kind of like having a 20-pound weight for 10 reps while endurance racing is like taking a 10-pound weight and doing it 100 times. That repetition is what tires you out during a race. We don't have the high loads during a race, but it is very hot inside the cockpit with no actual airflow like a single seater car would have. I spend a lot of time in a sauna, climatizing the body to that kind of heat. We do a lot of endurance training instead of the weight training that F1 guys do for their neck and stuff like that. For us, it's more about surviving that heat, being in the car that long, and being able to do multiple repetitions at a low rate.
Q: You tweeted some interesting numbers regarding your travel schedule last year: 229 hours on flights, 20 countries visited on five continents, 172 nights spent in a hotel, 26 different race tracks visited. Does it seem like you spend most of your life on the road?
A: It's crazy. Some of the GT drivers, especially at Audi, travel around with customer teams as well as the factory-allocated races. 25 race weekends per year does start adding up pretty quickly.
Q: How did coming up in a racing family lead you to this?
A: My grandfather started racing and was more-or-less at his peak in the late '80s. It crossed over to my dad, who was quite active in the Touring Car scene. He made a couple appearances in Europe in the British Touring Cars and the [FIA Touring Car] World Cup. He was really involved in the European scene. In the end, some of his contacts led to relationships which I then built up in Europe. It has now gone over to my brother and me who are actively racing. He is with BMW as a factory driver, and I am with Audi as a factory driver. It's a pretty cool story for both of us, two brothers traveling the world racing. It is a great thing to experience at such a young age – he is 19, and I am 22. Hopefully, we can carry on doing it for years to come.
Q: Having reached such a high level of GT endurance racing early on, what are your goals moving forward?
A: I am a big fan of endurance racing, because you are exposed to so many different elements like the aspects of nighttime driving and sunrise and sunset. We go to some great places like the 24 Hours of Nürburgring and experience 24 Hours of Le Mans. I'm really happy where I am at in endurance racing. I would like to try out a few different classes, maybe experience the Prototype side of things, and see how the electric era is developing. Maybe we will be driving hybrid or all-electric cars in the near future. I am exciting to see what is in store for my generation in the next 5-10 years.
Q: What does it mean to represent your home country of South Africa at racing events?
A: It is fantastic. When I started racing overseas around five years ago, I was one of the first to really make the step to European and international racing. There were not too many South Africans abroad at the time. I managed to create a path for young South Africans. Now there are three or four of us competing at a very high level for manufacturers in endurance racing. I'm extremely proud to have us drivers representing the country week-in and week-out. We are seeing a lot more young guys showing interest overseas trying to make the break into international racing. From that point of view, there is an extremely proud feeling. From a personal side, I am able to live my dream and go to tracks like Laguna Seca that I watched on TV with MotoGP and IndyCar in the past. To now be racing there and already be a two-time winner at the California 8 Hours is a super-proud feeling. It is something I want to keep on doing and hopefully carry on doing it for a few more years.
Q: I'm sure your co-drivers will have a good feeling going into it with your track record at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
A: [Laughs] I hope so. But like I said, it's a team game as it was the last two times. Everything really needs to click. We'll probably need the same circumstances again to get the hat trick. Audi is always a good car around there. We'll make the best of our driver and team lineups and go for that triple.

I may not be with the majority in saying this, but, I am really freaking glad summer is almost over! It's my least favorite season and other than maybe teachers who get the summer off, I don't understand why people like it so much! In Houston it's miserably hot and humid. If I park at Target, by the time I get my cart inside I already have beads of sweat rolling down my back and that is NOT an exaggeration! Going to the pool is an option, however I am not a "lay out by the pool" kind of girl when it comes to this Texas heat! Furthermore do we women really like wearing swim suits?! I mean, let's be real ladies! From trying them on, to having to shave and wax, all so we can then cover it up with an over priced cover up and hat! If I had my way I would hibernate in the summer and you guys can just text me when it's time for boots, and pumpkin-spiced everything.
That being said, this summer was my first with a toddler. I didn't want my dislike for summer to affect my daughter Camilla from having a good one so my husband Cameron and I did our best to give her fun things to do. A trip to the Houston Zoo and another to Wet-n-Wild Splash Town. Numerous, toddler birthday parties, and trips to the pool, and local splash pads. Baby-girl had a blast! And you know what, I learned to enjoy little things about summer because now I was seeing it through her eyes. Her seeing a real elephant for the first time, made me see the elephant again for the first time. It's funny how that works. Here's a recap of one of my favorite times as a mom so far and that's when we took Cami to the beach for the first time. Seeing and feeling the sand and the waves through her eyes was amazing. This also was a trip where I embraced my new "mom-bod" and wore a swim suit for the first time since having Cami 15 months ago!
We traveled to Chrystal Beach on Bolivar Peninsula over 4th of July weekend. The beach was packed with tailgaters, kite fliers, and dune buggies.
She clearly didn't want to get out of the water so I made Cameron be the bad guy!
Toddlers are kind of weird, haha! They have funny ways and sometimes you just have to step back and let them have their "toddler moments". Cami didn't like the sand on the beach but she loved the sand in the ocean. It was the strangest thing. In general she doesn't like getting dirty which was proven a month earlier at her 1st birthday party when she freaked out after she got cake on her from smashing the cake.
I just love all her curls…her dad's not bad either!
This may be my favorite picture of all time with me and my girl. She's such a sweet heart.
Now that summer is almost over, school has started and so has football. I can say that summer with a toddler was a more enjoyable one than I have had in the past. I am looking forward to getting her in swim lessons next summer and continuing more adventures with her.
Newer Previous post: Football Is Back! Give 'Em Hell Boys!

Asset managers must "galvanise" themselves and develop a coherent response to the criticisms of active management in the Financial System Inquiry, says BT's head of investment products.
Speaking at the Financial Services Council conference on the Gold Coast yesterday, BT head of investment products Dan Campbell said there is currently "a lot of noise" in the public domain about the value of asset management.
In particular, active management and the perceived high level of fees in the industry has been raised by the Grattan Institute and the Financial System Inquiry's (FSI's) final report, Mr Campbell said.
"But it's hard to call that a debate, because I think one of the key participants in the debate [the active management indsutry] has been fairly absent," he said.
The reason for the absence of active managers from the public debate is largely down to the disintermediation of the industry, Mr Campbell said.
"Active managers tend to focus their time on communicating with their clients – not the end users of their products," he said.
Mr Campbell pointed to the "quite negative conclusions" drawn out of the FSI final report on active management.
"I really think we need to galvanise ourselves and come up with a more coherent response to some of these criticisms," he said.
"As a collective we need to focus on getting our message out about our value proposition," Mr Campbell said.
For starters, the industry should be open to embracing transparency, he said.
"To make a proper assessment of value, transparency in terms of fees and costs is actually a very good thing for our industry," Mr Campbell said.
"It makes it easier for us to defend our position if the end users of our products have a much clearer perspective on what we're actually charging them for.
"While there's a lot of talk about transparency and how that should be produced in terms of the super system, I think as fund managers we should absolutely welcome it," Mr Campbell said.


The office is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday- Friday.
As in a doctor's office, the primary health insurance (like Medicare Part B) covers 80% percent of visit fees, and the secondary insurance (or the patient) is billed for the remaining 20%.

Cristiano Ronaldo equals a record from 1948
Serie A An impressive feat
Cristiano: The first player to reach 50 goals in England, Spain and Italy
At the age of 35 years and 166 days, Cristiano Ronaldo has become the oldest player to score more than 30 goals in one of the five top European leagues since 1948.
With his brace in Juventus' 2-1 win over Lazio, he broke another record in his pursuit of Ciro Immobile and Robert Lewandowski as he looks to become the top scorer in Serie A and Europe respectively.
It was Ronnie Rooke who registered this record back in 1948 when he broke the 30-goal barrier as an Arsenal player at the age of 36 years and 146 days.
Cristiano also became the first player to score more than 50 goals in three of the top European competitions.
At Manchester United, he netted 84 and mustered another 312 in Spain with Real Madrid before moving to Italy, where he has scored 51 times.
No player has ever needed fewer games than the Portuguese superstar (61) to reach 50 goals in Serie A.

Q: Why is $(\cos t,\sin t), t\in[0,2\pi)$ not a smooth, one-one parametrization of the entire unit circle? Why is $(\cos t,\sin t), t\in[0,2\pi)$ not a smooth, one-one parametrization of the entire unit circle?
Clearly, it is one-one. [I have left out $2\pi$ from the domain of $t$ for this purpose]
And, I am sure that it is smooth for all $t\in(0,2\pi)$, the only point that may cause trouble is $t=0$.
But, on wikipedia,

A parametric curve $s:[0,1]\to \mathbb {R} ^{n}$ is said to be of class $C^k$, if $\frac {d^{k}s}{dt^{k}}$ exists and is continuous on $[0,1]$, where derivatives at the end-points $0,1\in[0,1]$ are taken to be one sided derivatives (i.e., at 0 from the right, and at 1 from the left).

So, according to this, wouldn't $(\cos t,\sin t)$ be differentiable at $0$?
I know there is a problem with this parametrization because I was asked to prove that there exists no smooth, one-one parametrization of the entire unit circle, I just can't figure out why this parametrization fails.
Thank you.

Pound for Pound Rankings: March 2011
Heavy on UFC

Updated Mar 21, 2011 at 6:00am
"Bones" moves up the list after emphatic win over Shogun
1. Anderson Silva
We thought Silva's next challenge would come from Georges St. Pierre, but it appears that won't be the case. Instead, look for Yushin Okami to finally get his title shot, likely in the main event of UFC 132 in July. Media and fans are already clamoring for Silva to move up a weight class and face Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title. Should it come to fruition, that would easily be the biggest fight of 2012.
2. Georges St. Pierre
St. Pierre will face Jake Shields at UFC 129 next month. There was talk of St. Pierre abdicating the welterweight throne with a win, but that train seems to be leaving the station. Staying at welterweight might be better for St. Pierre's legacy, and it's not like the fans will ever tire of seeing him destroy challengers.
3. Jose Aldo
Aldo finally makes his UFC debut next month with a title defense against Mark Hominick. UFC fans will be pleasantly surprised at just how awesome Aldo actually is. Hominick is the best striker Aldo has faced thus far, but he'll be no match for the Brazilian wunderkind.

This experiment requires that your computer (or your TV) be in a very dark room. We're talking inky, here. Really dark. Stub your toe dark.
Your computer draws a picture on the screen by using an electron beam to energize phosphors on the inside of the glass; these then glow, giving off the light that you see. That's why you can use your computer (or watch TV; the screens work the same way) with the lights off.
There's another word that is related to phosphors: phosphorescence. Something that is phosphorescent will keep glowing, even after the source that energizes it is removed. (For a little while.) Will your computer screen do this? You betcha!
Make the room really dark, and turn off your monitor. It will still keep glowing for a while; can you see it?
Another test: put a picture on the screen that is bright some places, and dark others (like the little picture below!) Leave it on for a few minutes. Now turn your monitor off. The bright places will still glow, and the dark places (which have not been energized) will not.
The ghost of the Science Class remains!
The same thing happens with TV sets, by the way. Try it and see!


Everyone's worst fears have come true, Rockstar Games confirmed today that Red Dead Redemption 2 has been delayed.
The game will no longer be releasing in Fall 2017 and will now be releasing in Spring 2018.
However, the game might still make an appearance during E3 this year.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is now set to launch Spring 2018 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One," the team noted in its post. "This outlaw epic set across the vast and unforgiving American heartland will be the first Rockstar game created from the ground up for the latest generation of console hardware, and some extra time is necessary to ensure that we can deliver the best experience possible for our fans.
Rockstar is known to delay its game in order to ensure that the best possible experience is provided to the players. Therefore, this might actually be a blessing in disguise.

Q: How to send big image from wp7 to wcf? I'm trying to send an image to wcf to use OCR.
For now, I succeeded in transforming my image into a byte[] and sending it to the server using wcf. Unfortunately, it works for an array whose size is <16Kb and doesn't work for an array >17Kb.
I've already set the readerQuotas and maxArrayLength to its maximum size in web.config on the server size.
Do you know how to send big data to a wcf server, or maybe any library to use OCR directly on wp7?

A: If all else fails, send it in fragments of 16Kb, followed by an "all done" message that commits it (reassembling if necessary)

A: I don't know if this works on WP7, but with WCF you can also use streams to upload bigger amounts of data.

A: Bit of a hack but howabout sending it with a HTTP post if it isn't too big? or alternatively changing the webservice so it accepts a blob? (the current array limitation is a limit on the array datatype in the W3C spec)

A: Finaly solved.
You have to update your web.config to allow the server to receive big data. And then you have to use the Stream type in your WCF and byte[] type in your WP7. Types will match and both WCF or WP7 will agree to receive and send it.
In WCF :
public string ConvertImgToStringPiece(Stream img)
{
     //.....
}

In WP7 :
Service1Client proxy = new Service1Client();
proxy.ConvertImgToStringPieceCompleted += new EventHandler<ConvertImgToStringPieceCompletedEventArgs>(proxy_ConvertImgToStringPieceCompleted);
proxy.ConvertImgToStringPieceAsync(b); //b is my Byte[], more thant 17Kb.

A: You can try using a WCF session. The key thing to remember is that sessions in WCF are different than normal sessions we use for Internet programming. It's basically a call to a method that starts the session, any interim calls, and then a final one that ends the session. You could have a service call that starts the session, send chunks of the image, and then call the last one which closes the session and will return whatever you need.

Hello LTT Forum! first time posting, first time building, long time viewer, etc etc.
I had slowly been piecing this build together since October of 2018 and i'm extremely happy with my end result. Finished putting everything together last week and figured I owed it to myself to "show it off". I have a couple of enthusiast friends who offered to help with assembly but after reading a couple threads here, and of course watching all the LTT content, I felt I was capable of doing it myself. Turns out I was right, I got lucky and had Zero issues (except with RAM speeds, more on that later). It took me a couple hours to put together, that panic "did this click in the right way, let me watch a section of a video again" mindset kicked it but overall it was a very smooth process.
I've been noticing that Newegg frequently has that OLOy RAM on sale. I'm not too familiar with it.
Are you going to try and overclock it? You'll need to replace the stock cooler if you do.
If i take the glass off then you can see my flaws haha, but I shall have to do that as well. At some point I plan to overclock, that stock cooler would be the first thing to go. I still haven't decided if i'm going to get an AIO for the cpu or just a bigger/morebetter cooler. One more fan for intake will likely follow as well (but that mostly depends on if I go the AIO route for the cpu). I'm running the RAM at it's rated speeds currently but it seems to be holding it's own so far. I suppose time will tell with an off brand such as this one.
Nice build man! How are you liking the 1660ti?
So far so good, I haven't had any complaints. The only game I have in my steam library that even really makes use of it is Witcher 3 and it does a fantastic job! Highest settings on everything I can, only use a 1080p monitor so I don't have to push beyond that. Without even firing up MSI afterburner I am getting in the high 70's to low 80's for my fps. From my (limited) understanding of the massive landscape that is GPU's, this one is aggressively priced for what you get (I feel).

Everything's Bigger In Texas; Even The Liars
Senator Ted Cruz is a lawyer. Lawyers are trained to lie. We all know this. Is it because Ted Cruz is a trained liar that it's so easy for him to lie to his supporters about the immigration battle of 2013, and how it went down in the senate?
On the campaign trail, Senator Cruz tells his supporters he killed the infamous Gang of Eight Bill. Cruz even goes so far as saying that the amendment he proposed was specifically designed to kill the bill. This is exactly the opposite of what he told his colleagues in the United States Senate. That's called, a lie. It's also not consistent. Especially coming from someone who tells his supporters he is the "consistent conservative" running for president. This isn't my opinion. It just is. When we look at how this trained liar carefully crafted his words in 2013, and compare them with what he tells his supporters about the Gang of Eight Bill on the campaign trail, the truth is obvious to any normal person.
Looking back at how things went down in 2013, we find that Senator Cruz (like any good lawyer) laid out several different disputes about his "deep concerns" with the bill. None of his disputes ever really rule anything out at all. Why? Because lawyers like to have their cake and eat it too. By repeatedly saying the phrase "deep concerns", Ted Cruz never really took a concrete stand on the pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens. Did Lawyer Ted know in 2013 he would run for president in 2016? Only 25 days after being sworn in as a United States senator? Only a couple months after we fought tooth and nail to get him elected to the United States Senate? Did Senator Cruz intentionally use words so he could argue either side of the immigration debate at a later date? You decide.
As Julie Andrews says in The Sound of Music. "Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start…" Let's start with an interview he gave a couple days after being sworn in as a senator. On January 7th, he was asked what to do with the illegal aliens in the United States. Cruz said, "We should enforce the laws with respect to those who are here illegally now." Good Answer Lawyer! But, then the Gang of Eight debate began, and the double-talking-lawyer-side of the senator began too, immediately Cruz said:
"I appreciate the good work that senators in both parties have put into trying to fix our broken immigration system. There are some good elements in this proposal, especially increasing the resources and manpower to secure our border and also improving and streamlining legal immigration. However, I have deep concerns with the proposed path to citizenship. To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally"
Good Answer Lawyer (sort of)! SIDEBAR: What about THE WALL?!?!?! The "good elements" in the Gang of Eight Bill, that Cruz praises, did not include a wall. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Even though stretches of the imagination have been the one consistent thing in Cruz's presidential campaign. As all good lawyers know, using the phrase deep concerns deceptively gives a lawyer the ability to argue his position at a later date in either direction. No matter how the current mood of the country regards immigration, Ted Cruz's deep concerns gave him wiggle-room to claim anything about his past position on immigration.
Let's take a look at what the lawyer tells the American people just a few weeks later:
"The president has been focusing on amnesty, a path to citizenship that skips ahead of the line"
"..a position not supported by a great many Americans and not a position that will achieve bipartisan cooperation. It's designed to scuttle the bill."
True. But, does the lawyer say he will build the wall? Does the lawyer say he will deport illegal aliens? Does Cruz say I AM AGAINST AMNESTY in any way shape or form? No, he does not. By Cruz sneakily saying that amnesty is "a position not supported by a great many Americans and not a position that will achieve bipartisan cooperation", Ted Cruz deceptively plays both sides of the immigration debate. At a later date Cruz can conveniently claim he was for, or against, anything.
Cruz increases his deception, quite cleverly, the following month when asked point blank, "Would you vote against anything that has a path to citizenship?" If the statements Cruz makes now, while campaigning, about how he killed the Gang of Eight bill, matched what really happened in the senate – the only truthful answer would be simple: "NO". Did Cruz say "NO"? Of course not. Lawyers, think ahead and use tricky words so they can play either side of the argument at a later date. Instead of saying "NO", Ted Cruz gives another devious and unreliable answer. The lawyer says, "I have deep, deep concerns about a path to citizenship for those who are here illegally."
Now let's take a look at what Cruz later said to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Cruz again covertly sets himself up so he can play either side, at a later date, for a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens. When talking about his deep concerns, the unscrupulous Ted Cruz, said that a pathway to citizenship, "jeopardizes the likelihood of passing any immigration reform bill". When talking about illegal aliens, slippery Cruz tells the senate he wants "to ensure that we have workers who are here, out of the shadows, able to work legally.". It's not so shocking that Mr. Rule of Law himself, Ted Cruz, uses the establishment's popular talking point: out of the shadows. We all know what that really means. Out of the shadows means that illegal aliens will be granted benefits, work status, and God knows what else without being held accountable for breaking our laws. Ted Cruz knows this, we know this, and guess what? We don't like this. Furthermore, what about THE WALL Mr. Lawyer?
A few days later the shifty senator was again asked what to do with the illegal aliens in the United States of America right now. Get a load of this typical lawyer answer, "I think there probably could be a compromise on that, if a path to citizenship was taken off the table." Probably and compromise aren't words that "a consistent conservative running for president" would use.
The next thing that happened is various senators started proposing amendments to the bill. This is where things get really complex, and the lawyer in Ted Cruz get's even more untrustworthy. Senator Jeff Sessions wisely proposed some amendments to modify and keep within reasonable limits the way green cards are handed out. Senator Cruz submitted an amendment that ignores the procedure for green cards, and blocks citizenship for illegal aliens:
"I don't want this bill to be voted down and I hope the stakeholders who want this bill to be passed will be interested in amendments to craft a bill that will pass and I look forward to working with the committee members in that process."
Hmmm…"I don't want this bill to be voted down" doesn't match what Cruz is telling his supporters on the campaign trail. But for some reason they don't seem to care, or maybe they don't notice that Ted Cruz is not "the consistent conservative running for president". It's kind of funny that Senator Ted Cruz's supporters are saying his amendment was a poison pill designed to kill the bill. Heck, even Senator Ted Cruz HIMSELF says his amendment was intended to kill the bill. Wait a minute! Let's re-read what Senator Cruz told his colleagues in the United States Senate: "I don't want this bill to be voted down and I hope the stakeholders who want this bill to be passed will be interested in amendments to craft a bill that will pass and I look forward to working with the committee members in that process."
So which is it? Is Ted Cruz lying to his supporters or did Ted Cruz lie to his colleagues in the United States Senate? Lying is probably why nobody likes him in the senate, not because he is a "DC outsider" as he claims. So, was Ted Cruz lying both times, or did Ted Cruz just lie once? Is Ted Cruz lying now, or was Ted Cruz lying then? You decide.

Anastazja Moser introduces Berlin Community Radio's new merch by chatting DIY culture, punk aesthetics + staying on the air
aqnb, 14 September 2017
Berlin Community Radio is exactly what it says it is. An online broadcaster with DIY values at its core, the music platform has always focussed on building and supporting the people and the network that has made it an institution. It's hard to believe then that keeping it going has been a struggle but, like most independently-run initiatives, precarity is the daily reality of staying on air for co-founders Anastazja Moser and Sarah Miles, who — along with permanent staff member Philip Diep and all their contributors — have made it to their fourth birthday together. They'll be celebrating with the 'BCR 4 Year Birthday at The Mall' event at Berlin's KW on September 4, in a night of art and wellness themed performances and DJ sets, as well as the launch of their new merchandise line.
Berlin Community Radio Merchandise (2017).
Moser and Diep have spent the past weeks feverishly putting together handpicked and customised vintage pieces, embroidering and printing them in Moser's hometown of Poznań. Between using the facilities of the local squat community and enlisting her mum to help with transport, Polish-born presenter Moser has done what she and her collaborators do best, which is make do with what resources they have in order to produce something truly original and inspiring.
It's for that reason that Moser took some time out from the production line of drying, ironing and sewing their 100 patches featuring the portraits of Berlin Community Radio contributors to talk what it really means to do-it-yourself and why it's important for a station like theirs to survive.
**Can you tell me a bit about how you came up with the idea for the clothing range, and what the intention and style is? I'm getting a punk vibe.
AM: I have this strange relationship to punk. In short, I love the aesthetics and I love the mosh pits. Punk was really present in Poland since the 80s; my parents were into it and I went to punk shows as a kid a lot. There is this great squat in my hometown called Rozbrat, which serves as an alternative culture center and when I moved to London at 19 years old, I lived in various squats around Peckham and South London, while trying to hold down a job and understand what people were saying to me (lol).
Last winter, I ran off to Mexico City for a couple months and I found some good mosh pits, as well as the goth/punk fleamarket El Chopo. I went there a few times and bought lots of these really beautiful handmade patches that I sewed into my clothes. They were often printed on secondhand scraps and I got really into putting them onto other vintage items. So when Philip and I started working on ideas for the design of our merch line, we decided we will definitely do patches too since we always joke about being the posers at punk shows.
**Can you tell me something about how these clothes have been produced?
AM: Philip's background is in fashion and I always had huge interest in clothes and style (more than fashion per se). I used to run BCR Style Charts on our zine, as well as working freelance as a stylist and I have been thrift shopping since I was a teenager, many years before I ever heard term vintage and developed a real skill for finding high quality textiles and designs. For a couple years I supported myself going to Poznań to shop and selling selected finds at vintage and flea markets in Berlin. I also used to work at American Apparel as a student so I know retail.
**In following Berlin Community Radio for the past four years, I've seen it's programming evolve into something quite distinctive, what do you think it is about BCR that makes it so, and how did this happen?
AM: Thank you! We live in an age of scarcity of attention and overproduction of content and, more than ever, we need tools to sift through it. I am happy if BCR, with all our contributors who are putting the time to create original radio shows, has been a valuable platform on the current digital culture landscape.
The station is unique and it reflects the city's nature. Perhaps it's a twisted mirror of its poor economy and booming nightlife, which means there are always so many musicians, DJs and artists around. Our programming is also based on the fact that, for the past years, we mostly funded ourselves through public grants, meaning our decisions never had to be based on numbers, sales or commercial accessibility.
**You also have a lot of artists making music, or musicians making art, on the station, which is also unique to BCR. Do you think this is just the nature of Berlin, or is there also something to how the station is run; in being less about the rigid, male-dominated scene of music heads that so often dictate radio programming, for example?
AM: BCR has always been about offering the platform to those who are up-and-coming, and also encouraging collaborations and experimentation. It's a space and a playground and it offers so much freedom and this also means a lack of excessive quality control — accidents happen, and so do mistakes but I believe this specific mix of circumstances makes it especially fertile ground for art making. Creativity doesn't grow on trees, it needs these conditions to flourish.
We also rarely use post-production, giving the shows an organic, DIY edge. I would like to quote Hito Steyerl from ['In Defense of the Poor Image'] talking about film:
"these high-end economies of film production were (and still are) firmly anchored in systems of national culture, capitalist studio production, the cult of mostly male genius, and the original version, and thus are often conservative in their very structure."
So, in moving away from that, creating things with a rougher aesthetic connects us with the DIY movements of the 1970s, and there's a real beauty to that.
**With that in mind, do you have a policy of inclusiveness on the station?
AM: I suppose it's less a policy and more of a frustration at the current cultural landscape. I always felt like offering visibility was an important issue, which somehow organically lead to developing the [Incubator] project that has that at its heart while incorporating startup aesthetics. In 2016, we wanted to answer some questions: where can we trace the sources and origins of inventive music making? From a perspective of both the contemporary scene and a history of music, following the path of creative approaches and true innovation will most often lead us towards marginalised communities.
BCR trusts and hopes that moving the spotlight towards those artists who come from culturally rich communities, who often lack the visibility and presence in the mainstream electronic music industry, will help to not only diversify the scene but most importantly bring forward some of the most talented artists creating right now. The long term goals are to perpetually challenge the status quo, increase awareness of underlying power structures and the ingrained patterns of resource distribution, and encourage a proactive approach to rebuilding the system at a grassroots level.**

Poor you. You just got a bonus at work and bought that cool rear-wheel-drive sports car you've always wanted, but now it's wrapped around a lightpole because you don't know how drive it. Unfortunately, idiots crashing expensive supercars is common. As long as people have more money than brains, sports cars will be sacrificed. The latest exotic car to fall victim to potentially bad driving skills is a beautiful McLaren 570S, which was totaled in an accident this weekend in the United Kingdom.
According to an article published by Sky News, an orange McLaren 570S erupted into flames after crashing into a house in Wiltshire on Sunday morning. Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the crash, but they say that the car's occupants escaped the vehicle with no major injuries and there was no one in the house at the time. Fire crews extinguished the fire quickly, but the car was a completely destroyed.
The 570S is McLaren's "entry-level" supercar, equipped with a 562 horsepower turbocharged V-8 and a base price of $188,600. The results of this crash are a testament to the amazing safety features that modern supercars provide, allowing people to walk away from high-speed crashes with little to no injuries. However, drivers should still take caution and know their limits before potentially purchasing more car than they can handle.

A quick rundown of the matches last night at WrestleMania.
The the pre-show dark match, Epico & Primo defeated The Usos and Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships. Pretty short match overall, but allowed the WWE to test live streaming pre-PPV matches.
Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. Squash match. One brogue kick and it was over.
Kane defeated Randy Orton with a chokeslam from the top rope. Good match over. Little slow in spots, but overall a good match.
The Big Show defeated Cody Rhodes to become the new Intercontinental Champion with a knockout punch. This not only gave Big Show a nice WrestleMania moment, but he became a triple crown champion with his first IC title win.
Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos defeated Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres.
Undertaker defeated Triple H inside Hell in a Cell to run his WrestleMania record to 20-0. Great match. Great storytelling. Shawn Michaels got involved at various points to 'think' about stopping the match as well as stop both HHH and Undertaker from using weapons too much in the match. After the match, Taker and Michaels carried HHH to the back. Great moment.
Team Johnny defeated Team Teddy in a match that I would say was better than I expected. Dolph Ziggler took a couple of amazing bumps, including doing a full flip from a springboard. The match ended with Zack Ryder getting the Miz in the corner, lined up for the Broski boot, when Eve came into the ring. She distracted both the ref and Ryder long enough for Miz to get up and deliver the Skullcrushing finale on Ryder and pick up the win. After the match, Eve kicked Ryder in his 'little broski' and stormed away from the ring.
CM Punk defeated Chris Jericho to retain the WWE Championship. Great match. Featured one of the best go-home wrestling segments I have ever seen.
The Rock defeated John Cena. Very good match. Slow start, great build, good action. Both men kicked out of the others finishers, and both men endured a long submission hold from the other. Rock picked up the win when Cena went for the People's Elbow and Rock jumped up from the mat and Rock Bottomed him.
Overall, a very good slow. The low points where definitely the Sheamus/Bryan match, which everyone wanted to be longer and let us see a great match, and the divas match, which was about as expected.

Benjamin Harrison Was the 23rd President of the United States
Need to brush up on your Benjamin Harrison facts? You're not the only one! In 2012 a New York Magazine article tried to answer the tongue-in-cheek question, "Who is the most forgotten president in history?"
They eliminated from the running the founding fathers, anyone too recent, anyone who was assassinated or died in office, anyone who served two terms, had a memorable name, was notorious for being one of the worst presidents, or even just had kooky facial hair!
Once all of these criteria were applied, it was concluded that the winner was Benjamin Harrison! But, although Harrison is often overlooked, his four-year term in office from 1889-93 was actually a busy and formative time in American history.
So, read on to wow your friends with fun and intriguing facts about this little-known president.
Harrison's Grandfather Was Also the President
Harrison Family Tree
One of the better-known Benjamin Harrison facts is that presidency ran in his family. Harrison was born on August 20 1833, the second of eight children. He was part of the Virginia Harrisons, an old American family that had immigrated to the New World in around 1630.
His famous ancestors include Benjamin Harrison V, who had been governor of Virginia and signed the Declaration of Independence, and his grandfather William Henry Harrison, who was the ninth President of the United States, and the first to die in office.

He Attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio
Despite his impressive lineage, one of the most interesting Benjamin Harrison facts is that his family were not very wealthy, and his father used most of his savings and wages paying for a good education for Benjamin and his other children.
This education began in a one-room schoolhouse near the Harrison's home in Ohio, and later in the Farmer's College near Cincinnati. It was here that Benjamin met his future wife Caroline Lavinia Scott, who was the daughter of his science professor!
After prep college, Harrison attended Miami University, Oxford, in 1850. While a student, he was part of the fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, which would become an important social – and in some cases, political – network for him for the rest of his life.
Benjamin Harrison Was a Lawyer
After finishing college, Harrison decided to become a lawyer. He became an apprentice at the office of Storer & Gwynne in Cincinnati, and, in 1854, moved to Indiana with his new wife Caroline, and was admitted to the bar. In the same year, Harrison became a crier for the Federal Court of Indianapolis, a job which earned him $2.50 a day.
Harrison Was a Colonel in The Union Army
Even though he grew up in a Whig household, one of the most interesting Benjamin Harrison facts is that he became a Republican in 1856, very soon after the formation of the party. In 1862, when President Abraham Lincoln issued a call for recruits to join the army, Harrison reportedly told the state governor
"If I can be of any service, I will go."
Benjamin Harrison's role in the American Civil War developed quickly. He began by working in recruitment, and was then commissioned as a captain and company commander on July 22 1862. He became a colonel in August of the same year, as part of the 70th Indiana regiment. This regiment proceeded to join the Union Army in Louisville, Kentucky, and spent much of the first couple of years of the war guarding railroads and performing reconnaissance duties.
In 1864, however, they moved to the front lines of the war, and Harrison wound up commanding a whole brigade through several battles, including Resaca, Cassville, Lost Mountain, Peachtree Creek and Atlanta.
In His Early Years Harrison Was Known for Speaking up for Other Republicans
During and after the Civil War, Harrison earned himself a growing reputation in the worlds of both politics and law. He was re-elected as reporter of the Supreme Court of Indiana during this period, and was often willing to make speeches on behalf of other Republican candidates, since he was known for being a good public speaker.
He eventually decided to run for Governor of Indiana himself in 1872, but one of the most interesting Benjamin Harrison facts from this time is that he lost! He suffered another unsuccessful attempt in 1876. In the end, however, Harrison became a United States Senator in 1881, and served in this position from March 4 1881 to March 4 1887.
Harrison Became the 'Centennial President' in 1889
Grover Cleveland vs. Benjamin Harrison
After two more years of political experience, and a closely fought and narrowly won campaign, we come to one of the most important Benjamin Harrison facts. This is, of course, that he was elected president! To do this, he beat the incumbent President Grover Cleveland.
Interestingly though, he didn't actually win the popular vote. With regard to the 1888 election, a review of Benjamin Harrison facts suggests that he actually lost the popular vote by 90,000 votes, but won in the electoral college. This allowed him to be sworn in as the 23rd President of the United States on March 4 1889.
He was known as the 'Centennial President', because it had been 100 years since George Washington had first taken up the position in 1789. Reports from the day suggest that his inaugural ceremony was held during a rainstorm, but that the outgoing president Cleveland held an umbrella over his head while Harrison gave his speech!
Benjamin Harrison Favoured Tariffs in His Economic Policy
When it comes to Benjamin Harrison facts, some of the most significant developments under his leadership involved new economic actions intended to promote and protect American business. One of the most famous is the Tariff Act of 1890, otherwise known as the McKinley Tariff .
This policy raised taxes on imported foreign goods by almost 50 %. The purpose of this was two-fold: to raise money for the federal government, and to protect domestic markets from foreign competition. Another landmark economic policy of Harrison's time in office was the Sherman Anti-trust Act, also of 1890.
This statute meant that business activities could be investigated, and eventually prohibited, if they were deemed anti-competitive.

Benjamin Harrison Saved Our Forests
Although most Benjamin Harrison facts are not widely known, the majority of people in the USA will have benefited from this one at some point, whether they realise it or not! In March 1891, Harrison signed a Land Revision Act.
This act allowed land to be set apart by the government as a protected reserve. A month after the law had passed, Harrison began creating what are known to us now as National Parks and Nature Reserves.
He authorised the first ever U.S. forest reserve, on land adjacent to Yellowstone Park, Wyoming. During his term he continued this work, and by the time he left office he had protected up to 22 million acres of forest reservations.
Benjamin Harrison Spoke up for Civil Rights
There are also some impressive Benjamin Harrison facts relating to his attitude to civil rights. Harrison wished to prosecute those who were violating voting rights, particularly in the south of the country, and preventing black men from voting.
He endorsed the Federal Elections Bill in 1890, which was aimed at protecting the right of suffrage and other civil rights for people of colour. However, the bill was defeated in the Senate.
After this setback, Harrison continued to speak up for the rights of people of colour in the United States, and lent his support to several other bills aiming to protect civil rights and improve living conditions, for example by granting federal funding to schools regardless of race. Sadly, these bills were repeatedly rejected.
Now we've covered some important Benjamin Harrison facts, you might find yourself wanting to learn more about the man, or pay your respects to him. If so, head to Indianapolis, where the only President to come from Indiana is still celebrated.
In 1908, a memorial statue of Harrison was erected in the University Park, overlooking the United States Courthouse and Birch Bayh Federal Building. This statue was put there by the people of the city. It was created by Henry Bacon and Charles Niehaus, to celebrate and honour Harrison's military, political and legal contributions to the country.
Can't make it over to Indiana? Try looking in your wallet! As of 2012, a new dollar coin has been released with Harrison's face on it.
Sometimes, interesting trivia about a president can tell you a lot about the times they were living in. As a president whose era in office was at the end of the 19th century, Harrison lived through some great changes. Benjamin Harrison facts suggest that he was the last president in history to sport a full beard, which soon went out of fashion in the following century.
Yet he was also living in the early years of some exciting new technological developments − in 1889 Harrison had a 36-second speech recorded on a wax phonograph cylinder, making him the first president in history whose voice was preserved.
When it comes to the presidential living quarters, one of the most memorable of Benjamin Harrison facts is that it was he who modernised the White House. During his time in office, electric lighting was installed in the house by the Edison General Electric Company. Yet reportedly, Harrison and his wife Caroline were very nervous of electrocution, and would avoid touching the light switches at all costs!
In today's world of personality politics, Harrison might have struggled. While there are plenty of commendable Benjamin Harrison facts regarding his policies and achievements, he was apparently not always the most popular man among his contemporaries. Indeed, he was reportedly nicknamed the human iceberg because of his stiff and formal manner in conversation.

There are some interesting Benjamin Harrison facts relating to his diplomatic response to some rather silly rivalries. In 1889, the states of North Dakota and South Dakota were admitted into the Union. However, the two had a notorious rivalry, with disputes kicking off over the smallest of issues. So, how did Harrison deal with the issue of who would join the Union first? He shuffled the deck! By shuffling up the papers, he ensured he couldn't see the names, so no one could know which state was technically signed into the Union before the other!
Benjamin Harrison Facts – Fun Facts about Benjamin Harrison Summary
Benjamin Harrison was the 23rd President of the United States. His term in office began in March 1889, and lasted until the same month in 1893. Harrison was a Republican, and before his presidency had worked as a lawyer in Indiana.
He also served the Union army during the American Civil War, and commanded a brigade in several significant battles. Harrison is one of the least well-known of American presidents. However, those that do remember him know him for his role in implementing several important economic policies, for the creation of nature and forest reserves and for his unsuccessful but laudable attempts to pass bills that would improve civil rights for all. Harrison is also known as the only president to hail from Indiana, the only one whose grandfather was also a president, and the last to sport the full beard so favoured by the first century of presidents.

A new method for the determination of amino acids is presented. It combines established methods for the derivatization of primary and secondary amino groups with 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride (Fmoc-Cl) with the subsequent amino acid specific detection of the derivatives by LC–ESI–MS/MS using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The derivatization proceeds within 5 min, and the resulting amino acid derivatives can be rapidly purified from matrix by solid-phase extraction (SPE) on HR-X resin and separated by reversed-phase HPLC. The Fmoc derivatives yield several amino acid specific fragment ions which opened the possibility to select amino acid specific MRM transitions. The method was applied to all 20 proteinogenic amino acids, and the quantification was performedusing l-norvaline as standard. A limit of detection as low as 1 fmol/μl with a linear range of up to 125 pmol/μl could be obtained. Intraday and interday precisions were lower than10 % relative standard deviations for most of the amino acids. Quantification usingl-norvaline as internal standard gave very similar results compared to the quantificationusing deuterated amino acid as internal standards. Using this protocol, it was possible to record the amino acid profiles of only a single root from Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings and to compare it with the amino acid profiles of 20 dissected root meristems (200 μm).
Stenzel, I.; Ischebeck, T.; Quint, M.; Heilmann, I. Variable regions of PI4P 5-kinases direct PtdIns(4,5)P2 towards alternative regulatory functions in tobacco pollen tubes Front. Plant Sci 2, 114, (2012)
The apical plasma membrane of pollen tubes contains different PI4P 5-kinases that all produce phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] but exert distinct cellular effects. In the present example, overexpression of Arabidopsis AtPIP5K5 or tobacco NtPIP5K6-1 caused growth defects previously attributed to increased pectin secretion. In contrast, overexpression of Arabidopsis AtPIP5K2 caused apical tip swelling implicated in altering actin fine structure in the pollen tube apex. AtPIP5K5, NtPIP5K6-1, and AtPIP5K2 share identical domain structures. Domains required for correct membrane association of the enzymes were identified by systematic deletion of N-terminal domains and subsequent expression of fluorescence-tagged enzyme truncations in tobacco pollen tubes. A variable linker region (Lin) contained in all PI4P 5-kinase isoforms of subfamily B, but not conserved in sequence, was recognized to be necessary for correct subcellular localization of AtPIP5K5, NtPIP5K6-1, and AtPIP5K2. Deletion of N-terminal domains including the Lin domain did not impair catalytic activity of recombinant AtPIP5K5, NtPIP5K6-1, or AtPIP5K2 in vitro; however, the presence of the Lin domain was necessary for in vivo effects on pollen tube growth upon overexpression of truncated enzymes. Overexpression of catalytically inactive variants of AtPIP5K5, NtPIP5K6-1, or AtPIP5K2 did not influence pollen tube growth, indicating that PtdIns(4,5)P2 production rather than structural properties of PI4P 5-kinases was relevant for the manifestation of growth phenotypes. When Lin domains were swapped between NtPIP5K6-1 and AtPIP5K2 and the chimeric enzymes overexpressed in pollen tubes, the chimeras reciprocally gained the capabilities to invoke tip swelling or secretion phenotypes, respectively. The data indicate that the Lin domain directed the enzymes into different regulatory contexts, possibly contributing to channeling of PtdIns(4,5)P2 at the interface of secretion and actin cytoskeleton.
Janitza, P.; Ullrich, K.K.; Quint, M. Towards a comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of the evolutionary history of mitogen-activated protein kinases in the plant kingdom Front. Plant Sci 3, 1-11, (2012)
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is a three-tier signaling cascade that transmits cellular information from the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm where it triggers downstream responses. The MAPKs represent the last step in this cascade and are activated when both tyrosine and threonine residues in a conserved TxY motif are phosphorylated by MAPK kinases, which in turn are themselves activated by phosphorylation by MAPK kinase kinases. To understand the molecular evolution of MAPKs in the plant kingdom, we systematically conducted a Hidden-Markov-Model based screen to identify MAPKs in 13 completely sequenced plant genomes. In this analysis, we included green algae, bryophytes, lycophytes, and several mono- and dicotyledonous species covering >800 million years of evolution. The phylogenetic relationships of the 204 identified MAPKs based on Bayesian inference facilitated the retraction of the sequence of emergence of the four major clades that are characterized by the presence of a TDY or TEY-A/TEY-B/TEY-C type kinase activation loop. We present evidence that after the split of TDY- and TEY-type MAPKs, initially the TEY-C clade emerged. This was followed by the TEY-B clade in early land plants until the TEY-A clade finally emerged in flowering plants. In addition to these well characterized clades, we identified another highly conserved clade of 45 MAPK-likes, members of which were previously described as MHKs. In agreement with their essential functions, molecular population genetic analysis of MAPK genes in Arabidopsis thaliana accessions reveal that purifying selection drove the evolution of the MAPK family, implying strong functional constraints on MAPK genes. Closely related MAPKs most likely subfunctionalized, a process in which differential transcriptional regulation of duplicates may be involved.
Abel, S.; Savchenko, T.; Levy, M. Genome-wide comparative analysis of the IQD gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa BMC Evolutionary Biology 5, 72 (1-25), (2005)
We identified and analyzed 33 and 29 IQD1-like genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa, respectively. The encoded IQD proteins contain a plant-specific domain of 67 conserved amino acid residues, referred to as the IQ67 domain, which is characterized by a unique and repetitive arrangement of three different calmodulin recruitment motifs, known as the IQ, 1-5-10, and 1-8-14 motifs. We demonstrated calmodulin binding for IQD20, the smallest IQD protein in Arabidopsis, which consists of a C-terminal IQ67 domain and a short N-terminal extension. A striking feature of IQD proteins is the high isoelectric point (~10.3) and frequency of serine residues (~11%). We compared the Arabidopsis and rice IQD gene families in terms of gene structure, chromosome location, predicted protein properties and motifs, phylogenetic relationships, and evolutionary history. The existence of an IQD-like gene in bryophytes suggests that IQD proteins are an ancient family of calmodulin-binding proteins and arose during the early evolution of land plants. Comparative phylogenetic analyses indicate that the major IQD gene lineages originated before the monocot-eudicot divergence. The extant IQD loci in Arabidopsis primarily resulted from segmental duplication and reflect preferential retention of paralogous genes, which is characteristic for proteins with regulatory functions. Interaction of IQD1 and IQD20 with calmodulin and the presence of predicted calmodulin binding sites in all IQD family members suggest that IQD proteins are a new class of calmodulin targets. The basic isoelectric point of IQD proteins and their frequently predicted nuclear localization suggest that IQD proteins link calcium signaling pathways to the regulation of gene expression. Our comparative genomics analysis of IQD genes and encoded proteins in two model plant species provides the first step towards the functional dissection of this emerging family of putative calmodulin targets.

Win the Fight Against ME/CFS by Doing Nothing
by Nancy Blake(more info)
listed in cfs me, originally published in issue 236 - February 2017
We are constantly told that, no matter what is wrong with us, exercise will do us good.
Wrong: According to the February 2015 IOM report Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness , "exertion of any type, physical, cognitive or emotional, may adversely affect many organ systems".
An analysis of this report is also presented by the Solve ME/CFS Initiative.
Let's Spell That Out
The heart is an organ, the lungs are organs, a specific muscle is an organ, our brain is an organ. Pneumonia, lung cancer are diseases affecting the lungs. The heart is subject to specific types of damage and disease. We can strain or damage a specific muscle.
The heart is part of the cardiovascular system...the whole set of organs, the heart, the arteries, veins and capillaries which are concerned with the circulation of blood. When the heart is damaged, or arteries are clogged up, the whole system is affected.
The lungs are part of the respiratory system which includes the airways and the diaphragm, the muscle which allows the lungs to expand and contract. The respiratory system provides oxygen to the blood, which is then carried to every cell in the body by the red blood cells, which also remove waste products, metabolites.
The musculoskeletal system consists of muscles and bones and their attachments, which allow us to move our limbs, directed by another system:
Our cerebrospinal system.. our brain and nerves governing our physical movements, our thoughts, our ability to understand and learn, and our emotional responses.
The immune system...the extremely complex set of organs, cells and biological processes which demand all our energy to fight off and heal disease and damage. It's power to shut down other activity includes physical pain to stop movement of a damaged body part, , vomiting and diarrhoea, to eject toxins from the stomach and gut, nasal discharge to serve the same purpose in respiratory infections, fever, to raise the body temperature to help destroy invaders, and the overall 'feeling sick' which directs us to minimise movement while the immune system does its work.
Then there is the system that provides fuel: the digestive system...which begins at our mouths, proceeds through our stomach and intestines, and ends at our anus. The process of digestion is complex enough; researchers are only beginning to understand that the multitude of bacteria in the gut, the microbiome, constitute what almost amounts to a second immune system, even a second 'brain'.
Another system which we are only beginning to understand is that of our mitochondria.. the set of cells which are not quite part of 'us' but which inhabit each of our cells and are vital to the production of energy by the cell.
So now, when we read that we have a 'multisystem' disorder...a disease that can attack several whole organ systems....can we begin to appreciate what that actually means?
People who have severe or very severe ME, incapacitated in every way, suffering symptoms which indicate damage in every bodily system, are living, hour by hour, the experience of what that actually means.
'You Couldn't Make It Up'
But if we go to the doctor with a list of apparently unrelated symptoms (symptoms from several systems), and which vary from day to day and hour to hour (apparently randomly, because we aren't used to linking physical exertion with getting sick, so we don't notice that link)..what is she/he going to say?
The doctor has been taught that there are specific diseases that have a specific set of symptoms, and that if you come in with lots of different ones, you must be a hypochondriac.
The doctor doesn't notice that while she/he has a number of patients who haunt the surgery with every little thing that they get and are frightened by, you are not one of these patients. The doctor in fact may have trouble remembering anything about you, because up to now, you have been one who never bothers him/her.
The doctor has been taught that loads of symptoms means 'hypochondriac'. The doctor has not been taught that if a previously healthy and happy patient has a dramatic change in behaviour within a short space of time, with no other change in life circumstances apart from an apparently minor viral illness, the doctor cannot make a psychiatric diagnosis. Even people who have had extremely traumatic experiences don't get that sick that quickly.
You have a range of symptoms, which taken one by one, are apparently unrelated. And they vary, depending on exertion. The pattern taken altogether is quite specific. You couldn't make it up, and you haven't.
What you've got is ME/CFS/SEID, and that is a 'disease' in which 'exertion of any type' 'may adversely affect many organ systems'.
Exercise can cause damage to many systems. Exercise is toxic. Exercise will do you harm. Exercise poisons every system in your body.
If it was a pill, would you take it?
If it was a food you were severely allergic to, would you practise eating it?
If it was present in many foods, would you try to avoid those foods?
If you are avoiding something because you know it poisons you, should you have psychiatric treatment to cure your avoidance?
Should your friends and family be insisting that you take these pills, eat this food?
Should you be keeping on trying it out, judging your success by how much of it you can tolerate?
Do you keep on believing that it must be good for you, even though when you do it, you get sicker?
If there was a medication that caused the harm that exercise causes ME/CFS patients, it would immediately be withdrawn from sale, and prescribing it would become medical malpractice.
But they are still prescribing it, still setting up research to investigate it, still insisting that if you've got ME, you've got to do it.
Just Don't!!
You desperately want to get better, and are prepared to 'do anything' if it will help.
You have always fought, always risen to the challenge, always overcome obstacles. Not just for yourself, but for your family, the people you care for. You are a positive, energetic, active, unselfish giver.
The last thing you could ever feel comfortable about is 'doing nothing', yet that is the key to success in fighting this illness. (And how 'strong' do you actually have to be to fight the pressure ... from ourselves, our family, our doctors and society in general.. to get up, keep moving, fight against our body's messages that we must rest...gradually increase activity...you have to have a will of iron to go against all that.)
The clue? Your immune system is causing that progressive muscle failure, that physical inability to keep going....because it is fighting a powerful, pervasive enemy with infinite ability to conceal itself, infinite ability to regenerate when you start to use your muscles.
You already know that you have to rest before and after any planned event...but do you know how much that rest is helping your immune system? Do you realize that even more rest will help it more? That that 'holding still' is the most powerful weapon you have in the fight against ME/CFS?
When you 'hold still'....like a child keeping quiet in a game of hide and seek....your immune system has its chance to seek out the invader, to reduce its powers. Your part is to keep as still as possible, for as long as possible, while it does its work.
We really can 'win the fight by doing nothing'.

Q: How to insert snippet in Monaco Editor? I am using Monaco Editor v 0.10.1 in a webpage, and wonder if anybody knows if it is possible to add a set of Snippets that will pop up in Command Palette -> Insert Snippet like for the Visual Code editor.

A: monaco.languages.registerCompletionItemProvider('javascript', {
  provideCompletionItems: () => {
    return {
      suggestions: [
        {
          label: 'Async Block',
          kind: monaco.languages.CompletionItemKind.Snippet,
          documentation: 'Add an async block',
          insertText: [
            '(async () => {',
            '\t',
            '})()'].join('\n')
        }
      ]
    };
  }
});

Reference: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/playground.html#extending-language-services-completion-provider-example

A: You can use the AddAction method to do this...
//Register a custom snippet
monaco.languages.registerCompletionItemProvider('javascript', {
      provideCompletionItems: () => {
        return [
          {
            label: 'for: Array',
            kind: monaco.languages.CompletionItemKind.Snippet,
            documentation: 'Iterate over an Array',
            insertText: [
              'for(let i=0; i < arr.length; i++){',
              '\tlet elem = arr[i];',
              '',
              '}'].join('\n')
          }
        ]
      }
    });

//Add custom action
this.editor = window.monaco.editor.create(this.$el, options);
window.activeEditor = this.editor
this.editor.addAction({
      id: 'insert-text-at-cusor-command',
      label: 'Command Snippet',
      keybindings: [monaco.KeyMod.CtrlCmd | monaco.KeyCode.F10],
      contextMenuGroupId: 'snippets',
      contextMenuOrder: 1.5,
      run: function (ed) {
        activeEditor.focus()
        activeEditor.trigger('keyboard', 'type', {text: "for"});
      }
});

A: No, not in the current version - hopefully there will come an updated version soon :) But you can however register your own snippet in code the will be available in autocomplete / CTRL + SPACE and then later in the command palette.

Q: How do we prove that $F_{X}(t) = F_{Y}(t)$ for every $t\in\mathbb{R}$ is equivalent to $\mathbb{P}_{X} = \mathbb{P}_{Y}$? As told in the title of this question, I would like to know how to prove that $F_{X}(t) = F_{Y}(t)$ for every $t\in\mathbb{R}$ is equivalent to $\mathbb{P}_{X} = \mathbb{P}_{Y}$. The converse implication $(\Leftarrow)$ seems quite natural: if the laws of $X$ and $Y$ coincide, then one has that
\begin{align*}
F_{X}(t) = \mathbb{P}_{X}((-\infty,t)) = \mathbb{P}_{Y}((-\infty,t)) = F_{Y}(t)
\end{align*}
and we are done.
On the other hand, I am not very sure about how to approach the implication $(\Rightarrow)$.
I suppose it has something to do with the fact that every Borel set $B$ can be written in terms of the intervals of the form $(-\infty,t]$. Can someone help me with this demonstration? Any help is appreciated!
