Molecular basis of unexpected specificity of ABC transporter-associated substrate-binding protein DppA from Helicobacter pylori
Rahman, M., et al. Molecular basis of unexpected specificity of ABC transporter-associated substrate-binding protein DppA from Helicobacter pylori 201(20) e00400-19
The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori has limited ability to use carbohydrates as a carbon source, relying instead on exogenous amino acids and peptides. Uptake of certain peptides by H. pylori requires an ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter annotated dipeptide permease (Dpp). The transporter specificity is determined by its cognate substrate-binding protein DppA, which captures ligands in the periplasm and delivers them to the permease. Here, we show that, unlike previously characterized DppA proteins, H. pylori DppA binds, with micromolar affinity, peptides of diverse amino acid sequences ranging between two and eight residues in length. We present analysis of the 1.45-Å-resolution crystal structure of its complex with the tetrapeptide STSA, which provides a structural rationale for the observed broad specificity. Analysis of the molecular surface revealed a ligand-binding pocket that is large enough to accommodate peptides of up to nine residues in length. The structure suggests that H. pylori DppA is able to recognize a wide range of peptide sequences by forming interactions primarily with the peptide main chain atoms. The loop that terminates the peptide-binding pocket in DppAs from other bacteria is significantly shorter in the H. pylori protein, providing an explanation for its ability to bind longer peptides. The subsites accommodating the two N-terminal residues of the peptide ligand make the greatest contribution to the protein-ligand binding energy, in agreement with the observation that dipeptides bind with affinity close to that of longer peptides.

Q: Header problems with use of convertAndSendToUser method in Spring WebSocket I'm trying to send a message directly to an user using SimpMessageSendingOperations or SimpMessagingTemplate but both doesn't work.
simpMessagingTemplate.convertAndSend("/user/" + userSessionId + "/queue/greetings", "Message One");

messagingTemplate.convertAndSendToUser(userSessionId, "/queue/greetings", "Message Two");

I already inspected the internal classes to understand the problem and seems to be the headers.
For example, if I create a StompHeaderAccessor and specially add any nativeHeaders and also add SessionId header and send as the last parameter of convertAndSendToUser it works.
StompHeaderAccessor headerAccessor = StompHeaderAccessor.create(StompCommand.SEND);
headerAccessor.setSessionId(purchaseReport.getSessionId());
headerAccessor.setNativeHeader("Any header", "Any header");

messagingTemplate.convertAndSendToUser(purchaseReport.getSessionId(), "/queue/greetings", "Message Two", headerAccessor.toMap());

Because inside the SimpMessagingTemplate class there is a method called processHeadersToSend and if there is any Native headers it returns the same headers so in AbstractMessageSendingTemplate class the type of headersToUse variable changes to a HashMap and the behavior is different.
I also created a method annotated with @SendToUser to understand the idea and the same behavior happens:
@MessageMapping({ "/hello/{id}/websocket" })
@SendToUser(value = "/queue/greetings")
String generate(@DestinationVariable Integer id, @Payload Report report,
                  SimpMessageHeaderAccessor headerAccessor) throws Exception {

messagingTemplate.convertAndSendToUser(headerAccessor.getHeader("simpSessionId").toString(),
                "/queue/greetings", "This message doesn't work");

messagingTemplate.convertAndSendToUser(headerAccessor.getHeader("simpSessionId").toString(),
                "/queue/greetings", "This one works because have native headers", headerAccessor.toMap());

return "This one send by annotation works too";

I'd like what I'm doing wrong or I really need to always instantiate a HeaderAccessor and add any native headers to work?
Thanks in advance.

A: I understand and solve my problem, I didn't pay attention to the JavaDoc description in processHeadersToSend.
The convertAndSendToUser accepts a Map<String, Object> parameter as the headers, but correct is send a MessageHeaders if I want to keep my own headers.
So I created a method:
    private MessageHeaders createHeaders(String sessionId) {
        SimpMessageHeaderAccessor headerAccessor = SimpMessageHeaderAccessor
                .create(SimpMessageType.MESSAGE);
        headerAccessor.setSessionId(sessionId);
        headerAccessor.setLeaveMutable(true);
        return headerAccessor.getMessageHeaders();

    }

And call convertAndSendToUser like this:
messagingTemplate.convertAndSendToUser(purchaseReport.getSessionId(),
                    "/queue/greetings",
                    payload,
                    createHeaders(sessionId));

Thanks.

VICOSA, Brazil — This association certainly has some balls.
The Associação de Assistência às Pessoas com Cancer, a Brazilian non-profit health organization raising awareness of all types of cancer, recently debuted it's newest mascot, Señor Testiculo. Señor Testiculo, or Mr. Balls, is a modeled after a smiling pair of testicles, according to Gawker.com.
The mascot recently posed with people of all ages for pictures at an event in Brazil. The hope of the mascot, presumably, is to raise awareness of testicular cancer and promote frequent self examinations. Testicular cancer kills several hundred men in the U.S. each year. Early detection is important, and the cancer has one of the highest survival rates of any solid tumor cancer.

Het Palazzo dell'Acqua, ook genoemd Palazzo dell'Acquedotto Pugliese (1935), is de hoofdzetel van de watermaatschappij van Apulië en staat in Bari, hoofdstad van de regio Apulië. Het Palazzo dell'Acqua bevindt zich in het centrum van Bari, nabij het Teatro Petruzzelli.

Naam
Naast Acqua of water in het Italiaans is er een tweede naam: Acquedotto Pugliese of aquaduct van Apulië. Dit is de naam van de watermaatschappij, opgericht in 1915 om stromend water aan alle inwoners van de regio te bezorgen. Dit laatste werd gerealiseerd in de loop van de jaren 1920. Het ging om 26.000 km aan waterleidingen.

Historiek
Aan het Palazzo dell'Acqua werd gebouwd van 1925 tot 1935. De hoofdingenieur was Cesare Brunetti uit Ravenna. De opdracht was om de hoofdzetel het uitzicht te geven van lokale bouwstijlen. Daarom werd er gekozen voor een romaanse stijl uit Apulië. Aspecten van zowel religieuze als burgerlijke gebouwen komen terug in de buitengevel. Zo is de ingangspoort versierd met elementen nagemaakt uit de gevel van de kerk Santa Maria del Casale in Brindisi. De buitengevel van het gebouw mag dan streng lijken, voor de binneninrichting is gekozen voor sierlijke afwerking. De plafonds van het directeursbureau op de tweede verdieping en de grote vergaderzaal op de eerste verdieping bevatten fresco's. Het thema van de fresco's is water: nimfen, landbouw en Griekse amforen. Voor het geheel van fresco's, versieringen, lichtinval, meubels en tapijten tekende Duilio Cambellotti. Zijn stijl is art deco.

Q: is OSGI event handler thread safe In my application we are using Event admin to post events and there are multiple events are fired simultaneously. These are handled by event handler. In event Handler have declared some private variables, and used in handleEvent() method.
Will it cause any thread safety issues? Declaring variables as private in event handler thread safe?

A: Your event handler can be called on different threads simultaneously. So you have to ensure that access to any fields are handled safely.
Declaring variables private is completely unrelated to thread safety. It is not the access status that counts, it is the the simultaneous access that is important.
You regulate access with the synchronized keyword, locks, or lock-free constructs.


Update: Charlie Lee talks about Litecoin on CNBC and he doesn't see Bitcoin Cash as a threat.
The price of Litecoin has been gaining momentum over the past few months with the activation of Segwit, or as some say, "survived bloodbath". As Bitcoin is in a crucial stage and Ethereum is losing ground, Litecoin advocates believe that it's time for Litecoin to shine. And some enthusiasts interpreted random numbers Charlie posted as price predictions, saying bitcoin and litecoin will go up to $3000 and $60 respectively in two weeks.
Little did they know that a new cryptocurrency is about to steal the spotlight.
Bitcoin Cash(BCC) is a token designated by ViaBTC to a possible hard fork. The community has been unanimous in defining it, a split-coin, a clone-coin or a shadow-coin. Supporters believe that it is "pure Satoshi" while opponents say it is an altcoin trying to bask in Bitcoin's reflected glory by naming itself Bitcoin Cash. But what is clear is that BCC has caused a sensation among Chinese litecoiners.
Chinese litecoiners in WeChat groups are crying that Litecoin's position as Bitcoin's silver is threatened by BCC.
Jiang Zhuoer, owner of BTC.top and LTC.top posted an article about BCC on 8btc last Monday.
As the article is getting more views, it has caused panic among Chinese litecoiners who think a bear market is on the way.
However, Teddy—a Shanghai-based cryptocurrency investor— says Jiang is wrong.
Teddy added that the current ICO craze is damaging the cryptocurrency world. And people who wish for easy money tend to be blinded by the media hype and fail to realize what makes an altcoin valuable. He believes that later coins with real long-term potential usage will gain back and that means Bitcoin and Litecoin.
Xinxi Wang, a developer of the Litecoin team, notes that Jiang's articles are mostly objective, but this one is too speculative and could be seriously biased.
Xinxi revealed that it's well on track for them to add LN and RSK on Litecoin. The onchain atomic swap between Bitcoin and Litecoin should not be too far after SegWit gets activated on Bitcoin.
But shaolinfry, a full-time developer of the litecoin team, tweeted last Wednesday that he would not work for the litecoin project anymore.
The sudden departure leads to a lot of speculation. Does he have a different vision of litecoin? Is it a fallout between him and other developers?
Xinxi remains optimistic about the future of Litecoin to see more merchants and exchanges are supporting litecoin and litecoin ATM are situated in more places.
What do you think? Will there be future for BCC?
LOL. No. Nobody can kill Litecoin. It has proved itself to be the strongest coin during these times.
Lol… The same litecoin which costs 10x more after it was included on CB and implemented SW? Compared to an altcoin which used a chainsaw to remove SW, not included on CB, and will be traded under three different tickets…?
and lol 8MB blocks with a 10min blocktime, really LTC is even faster (x4) and can handle more tx with its current 1-2MB segwit blocks.
Probably I would treat it as a competitor if it would be launched as a normal coin and not as a fork to get some free attention.


ETP GSP, the Global Simulators Pack, comprises 60 FIX simulators for global venues.
New York, April 2nd, 2018 – Esprow LLC, a global provider of enterprise testing technology for the financial markets, announces the launch of ETP GSP, its Global Simulators Pack, to enable market participants to test their FIX connectivity to trading venues independently from the testing environment provided by the venues themselves.
ETP GSP is a package of 60 pre-built FIX simulators for markets across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Each simulator supports several pre-built test scenarios, like order entry, amendment, cancellation, status, partial and full fills, rejections, race conditions, and so on – including positive and negative cases. Simulators can be modified and enhanced by users to add new scenarios that cover edge-cases or specific trading phases, like opening and closing auctions.
Further, each simulator is aware of the venue's rules of engagement, so it follows the venue's behavior, and it checks the presence of required and custom tags, groups, messages, conditional tags, and the syntax of values. Simulators can be run from a PC or deployed on a server, and each one supports both single and concurrent FIX sessions. Simulators are built using Esprow's ETP Studio design environment, so they are easy to understand, maintain, and enhance, by technical and non-technical users.
Esprow is a global technology firm specializing in automated testing, on-boarding and simulation solutions for the financial services community. Esprow provides implementation, customization, integration, training and professional services for its Enterprise Testing Platform suite of products.
Esprow ETP automates testing, simulation and certification of trading components across a wide range of financial messaging protocols, including FIX. Launched in 2012, Esprow ETP is an integrated testing framework that addresses the requirements and challenges of the development, QA and risk management departments. ETP is quickly grabbing the attention of the industry's most forward-looking players aiming to automate testing, reduce technology risk, and comply with global regulations for testing of trading systems and algorithmic trading strategies.

He expressed the view that this would not offend democratic principles. The Cabinet generally directs and controls the Government and is collectively responsible to Parliament. Iswaran who is Minister for Communications and Information respectively all of whom had previously held other cabinet appointments. In addition, ministers received the same medical benefits as civil servants. But we also don't want pay to be the reason for them not to join us, or to leave after joining us. At the start of each new Parliamentary session , the President gives an address prepared by the Cabinet that outlines what the Cabinet intends to achieve in the session. Payment of the remainder should be deferred till the end of the government's term.{/INSERTKEYS}{/PARAGRAPH} Although the President acts in his personal discretion in the exercise of certain functions as a check on the Cabinet and Parliament of Singapore, [50] he is otherwise required to act in accordance with the advice of the Cabinet or of a Minister acting under the general authority of the Cabinet. Moreover, only a portion of bonuses should be paid at the end of each year. The Prime Minister is a Member of Parliament MP appointed by the President who selects a person that in his or her view is likely to command the confidence of a majority of the Parliament of Singapore. These professions were chosen because their top members had general management skills which ministers also had to have. I, [ name ], having been appointed to the office of [ name of office ], do solemnly swear [ or affirm] that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Republic of Singapore and that I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore. Following Parliamentary approval of the white paper in November , [64] the Government established an independent panel to examine the benchmark for the Prime Minister's salary. In February it was reported that a survey of 19 countries by the World Economic Forum magazine World Link had found that political leaders and senior civil servants of Singapore had the highest salaries. Whenever the Prime Minister is ill, absent from Singapore, or has been granted leave of absence from his duties, the functions conferred on him by the Constitution are exercisable by any other Minister authorized by the President. The Prime Minister may retain any department or subject in his charge. Nine other Ministers were appointed to the Cabinet. The Committee's report was discussed in Parliament from 16 to 18 January NCMP Gerald Giam said that ministers should obtain an average annual bonus of three months of their base salaries, and in any case no more than five months' bonus. Thus it is possible for a person who was not elected by voters to be appointed by Parliament as an NMP, then by the President as a Minister. Among other things, it recommended that a Council of Ministers be created, composed of three ex officio Official Members and six Elected Members of the Legislative Assembly of Singapore appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of the Leader of the House, who would be the leader of the largest political party or coalition of parties having majority support in the legislature. The annual variable component of up to one and a half-month's salary was paid based on Singapore's economic performance. Two-thirds of the bonus should be made up of the national bonus, and the remaining third based on the individual's performance, which should be determined according to key performance indicators fixed for each ministry at the start of a new government's term. On 21 May , following the general election , the Prime Minister announced that a committee would be appointed to review politicians' remuneration, and that revised salaries would take effect from that date. On separation from Malaysia, the Singapore Government retained its executive authority, and the executive authority of the Parliament of Malaysia ceased to extend to Singapore and vested in the Singapore Government. In contrast, a Sabah court held in Datuk Amir Kahar v. Following constitutional reforms in , the office of President was transformed from an appointed to an elected post. The Governor was required to consult the Executive Council on all affairs of importance unless they were too urgent to be laid before it, or if reference to it would prejudice the public service. Singapore's ministers are the best paid in the world. Such Ministers were formerly known as Ministers without portfolio. The head of state , who is the President of Singapore , is a member of both the executive Government of Singapore and the Parliament of Singapore but plays a minimal role in them. Thus, both the President and MPs are elected to their posts by the citizens of Singapore in separate elections. Under Singapore's new constitution which came into force on 3 June , [17] the Governor was replaced by the Yang di-Pertuan Negara Head of State , who had power to appoint as Prime Minister the person most likely to command the authority of the Legislative Assembly, and other Ministers of the Cabinet on the Prime Minister's advice. The recommendation was implemented in Major problems with the Rendel Constitution were that the Chief Minister and Ministers' powers were ill-defined, and that the Official Members retained control of the finance, administration, and internal security and law portfolios. Almost half of ministers' pay packages was made up of an individual performance bonus decided by the Prime Minister, and a variable bonus component based on the country's prevailing gross domestic product and capped at eight months of each minister's annual salary. Under the Constitution, the Cabinet is collectively responsible to Parliament. The executive authority of Singapore is vested in the President and is exercisable by him or by the Cabinet of Singapore or any Minister authorized by the Cabinet. The earliest predecessor of the Cabinet was the Executive Council of the Straits Settlements , introduced in to advise the Governor of the Straits Settlements. In , then Deputy Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong said in Parliament: "I would rather that a government has the flexibility to appoint the right person to be the minister for finance, than to compel that government to select from whoever is available in the House. Cabinet members are prohibited from holding any office of profit and from actively engaging in any commercial enterprise. However, the President may act in his own discretion if in his opinion it is impracticable to obtain the advice of the Prime Minister due to his illness or absence. Teo Chee Hean , the Minister for Defence and minister in charge of the civil service, was reported as saying: "We don't want pay to be the reason for people to join [the government]. Before entering on the duties of their office, the Prime Minister and other Ministers must take and subscribe sign the Oath of Allegiance and an oath for the due execution of their offices before the President. In the Sarawak case of Stephen Kalong Ningkan v. The executive branch of the Singapore Government remained unchanged following Singapore's merger with Malaysia in , and subsequent independence in Following the general election , a Cabinet reshuffle took place effective 21 May Lim Hng Kiang and Lim Swee Say respectively retained their Trade and Industry and Prime Minister's Office portfolios, while other ministers were given new appointments to the remaining 11 ministries. Singapore's Parliamentary system placed more weight on the party in power rather than individual MPs, and "Parliamentarians must still win the support from the ground and, ultimately, the PM and the ruling party and his Cabinet team will still be answerable to the electorate at elections. In , members of the Legislative Assembly held constitutional talks with the Colonial Office in London. I, [ name ], being chosen and appointed as Prime Minister [ or Minister] of Singapore, do solemnly swear [ or affirm] that I will at all times faithfully discharge my duties as Prime Minister [ or Minister] according to law, and to the best of my knowledge and ability, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will. Executive power lies in the hands of the Cabinet , which is made up of the Prime Minister of Singapore the head of government and other Ministers. The Prime Minister and other Ministers who make up the Cabinet do not vacate their offices upon a dissolution of Parliament, but continue in their posts until the first sitting of the next Parliament following a general election. Instead, the Prime Minister will receive a larger national bonus. Where the Prime Minister's remuneration was concerned, the Committee recommended that it be pegged to twice of a MR4-grade minister's salary and doing away with the fixed service bonus. This led to confrontation between Marshall, who saw himself as a Prime Minister governing the country, and the Governor , Sir John Fearns Nicoll , who felt that important decisions and policies should remain with himself and the Official Members. The government will pay me my full salary, because that is the way the system will have to work, but for five years, whatever the increase in the salary above its present level, I will donate to suitable good causes. This time, agreement was reached on the composition of an Internal Security Council. The Prime Minister may, by giving written directions, charge any Minister with responsibility for any department or subject. In years where economic performance was exceptional, a special variable payment was also made. According to the white paper, the one-third "discount" would be "a visible demonstration of the sacrifice involved in becoming a minister". This must include all assets, such as financial assets, real property, interests in any company or professional practice, and any other substantial personal assets as well as financial liabilities, including mortgages and borrowings. His annual bonus where the targets for the indicators have been met will be six months' salary, and 12 months' salary where they have been greatly exceeded. In , a Council of Ministers was created, made up of three ex officio Official Members and six Elected Members of the Legislative Assembly of Singapore , appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of the Leader of the House. It is hereby notified for general information that, pursuant to Article 30 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore, the Prime Minister has directed that Mr S. In the latter situation, the President is required first to inform the Prime Minister of his evaluation in this regard, and if the Prime Minister requests him to, the President may dissolve Parliament instead of making a declaration of vacancy. The Committee to Review Ministerial Salaries chaired by Gerard Ee rendered its report on 30 December , and released it to the public on 4 January As regards the latter, no bonus will be paid if the minimum targets for the indicators are not met. Each minister's performance bonus was determined by the Prime Minister and could be up to 14 months' salary, though most good performers received the equivalent of nine months' salary. The British High Commissioner's role became that of an ambassador following Singapore's independence from Britain and merger with Malaysia in Apart from that the executive branch of the Singapore Government remained largely unchanged, [21] although now it governed a state within a larger federation. However, in Singapore this is a weak check because the ruling People's Action Party holds a large Parliamentary majority, and party members who are MPs are required by party discipline to vote according to the party Whip 's instructions. Jayakumar shall, with effect from 1 April , be charged with the responsibility for the following matters:. It also has significant influence over lawmaking. Singapore inherited a Westminster system of government from the British. However, with effect from 9 August , Singapore left the Federation of Malaysia and became a fully independent republic. In such urgent cases, the Governor had to inform the Council of the measures he had taken. The talks broke down as Marshall did not agree to the British Government's proposal for the casting vote on a proposed Defence Council to be held by the British High Commissioner to Singapore, who would only exercise it in an emergency. Although "[s]alaries should never be the motivation for persons to become ministers", the financial sacrifice had to be minimized if outstanding and committed Singaporeans were to be encouraged to take on the "risks and public responsibilities of a political career". {PARAGRAPH}{INSERTKEYS}It is led by the Prime Minister of Singapore who is the head of government. The fixed service bonus was the same as the performance bonus paid to a good performer at the MR4 grade. Ministers may be designated by the Prime Minister to be in charge of particular ministries , or as Ministers in the Prime Minister's Office. In May , MP Hri Kumar proposed during a Parliamentary debate that this stand be reconsidered as the Prime Minister would be able to draw on the experience of many capable Singaporeans. At present, it is not clear what evidence the President may rely on to be satisfied that the Prime Minister has ceased to command the confidence of a majority of MPs, as the Singapore courts have not yet had to decide the issue. Other Cabinet ministers must vacate their office if they resign, or if their appointments are revoked by the President acting in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister. A bonus of three months' salary will be paid if the targets are met, and a maximum bonus of six months' salary if the targets are greatly exceeded. The earliest predecessor of the Cabinet was arguably the Executive Council of the Straits Settlements that was introduced in by letters patent issued by the Crown , [5] though its function was very different from that of today's Cabinet. In such systems, there is an overlap between the executive and legislative branches of government. The other members of the Cabinet are Ministers who are Members of Parliament appointed by the President on the Prime Minister's advice. This made them among the highest paid government ministers in the world. Cabinet members are prohibited from holding any office of profit or actively engaging in any commercial enterprise. The Council, which was composed of "such persons and constituted in such manner as may be directed" by royal instructions, [6] existed to advise the Governor of the Straits Settlements and wielded no executive power. The Cabinet may not be summoned except by the authority of the Prime Minister.

USS Maddox (DD‑731)
USS Maddox (DD-731) underway in the Pacific, 28 January 1955. Naval History and Heritage Command photograph, NH 97904.
Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer USS Maddox (DD-731) was commissioned on 2 June 1944 with Commander James S. Willis in command. After shakedown off the U.S. East Coast, Maddox steamed for the Pacific, arriving at Ulithi (a tiny atoll in the western Pacific's Caroline Islands) on 21 October. Upon arrival, the ship was assigned to Third Fleet's Fast Carrier Task Group 38.1. As part of the task group, Maddox participated in preparation and coverage operations for the Mindoro and Luzon invasions in the Philippines. In addition, Maddox served in the southeast China Sea while carrier-based aircraft struck targets from Saigon to Formosa. On 21 January 1945, Maddox was struck by an enemy kamikaze aircraft that required the ship to head back to Ulithi for repairs. In March, the destroyer steamed off Japan where it served on picket station during airstrikes on Kyushu and southern Honshu. Later that month, the ship proceeded to Okinawa where it provided support for pre-invasion strikes. For the duration of the campaign, Maddox provided support in the form of shore bombardment and carrier screenings for the pivotal Battle of Okinawa. On 8 July, Maddox steamed to the waters off the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido where the ship provided screening, picket, and shore bombardment services for Third Fleet operations. Maddox remained off the Japanese islands until the enemy surrendered, ending World War II.
After the war, Maddox operated off San Diego, California, until February 1946, when it returned to Far East waters to support the movement of naval occupation forces between Shanghai, Tsingtao, and Taku in China, and the ports of Pusan and Jinsen in Korea. Maddox returned to San Diego the next month and operated off the U.S. West Coast for the next three years.
On 25 June 1950, the North Korean army invaded South Korea, beginning the Korean War. Maddox was already in Far East waters, arriving in Hong Kong the day before hostilities began. On 26 June, Maddox was en route to South Korea, where during the voyage, the ship acted as an aircraft guard and antisubmarine screen for aircraft carriers USS Valley Forge (CV-45) and HMS Triumph. Maddox operated off Korean waters for about a month before the ship departed the area to help form the initial Formosa (later Taiwan) Patrol Force to prevent a Communist Chinese invasion of the island. Maddox returned to Korea on 7 September and assumed coastal blockade and bombardment duties. It continued in that role, which included a diversionary bombardment of Samchok in conjunction with Operation Chromite (Inchon landings), before Maddox made way back to San Diego in January 1951. The ship remained at the southern California city for about 11 months where it underwent an extensive overhaul.
On 1 December, Maddox departed San Diego for the ship's second Korean deployment. Through February 1952, it screened aircraft carriers and provided bombardment support for United Nations land forces. In March, Maddox left the war zone temporarily to support the Taiwan Patrol Force before returning to Korean waters the following month. For the remainder of the tour, Maddox continued to provide screening duties for carriers and participated in the siege of Wonsan. The ship returned to San Diego in June and stayed for about a month before steaming up the coast to Long Beach, California, Maddox's new homeport.
After local operations and overhaul, Maddox once again steamed to Korean waters in February 1953 for the ship's third deployment to the region. As on its previous deployments, Maddox guarded aircraft carriers, provided shore bombardments, and supported the Taiwan Patrol Force. The ship completed the deployment in August and arrived back at Long Beach at the end of the month. Although an armistice was signed in July 1953 that ceased fighting on the Korean Peninsula, Maddox continued to be a presence for years in Asian waters. In December 1954, it participated in antisubmarine warfare tactics and attack carrier exercises off Kyushu, Korea, and Luzon as well as operating with the Taiwan Patrol Force. From June 1955 through May 1962, Maddox completed six cruises to the Far East, which included combined defense exercises with the forces of other Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) nations and training operations with South Korean, Nationalist Chinese, and Japanese Self‑Defense forces.
On 13 March 1964, after operating off the U.S. West Coast for about two years, Maddox departed Long Beach for a cruise with Seventh Fleet. At the beginning of the deployment, the ship steamed with fast carrier groups in the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea, before it headed south and established a patrol off the coast of South Vietnam, arriving in late May. On 31 July, Maddox began the first leg of a patrol in the Tonkin Gulf. Initially, the patrol was routine; however, it later would prove to have global repercussions. On 2 August, while cruising in international waters, three North Vietnamese motor torpedo boats attacked Maddox. During the engagement in which torpedoes were launched at Maddox, the American destroyer put two of the boats out of action with direct hits. No American crewmembers were killed or injured during the attack, and the ship did not sustain serious damage. At first, the North Vietnamese attack was assumed to be in error, but within 48 hours, it was proven to be deliberate.
On the stormy night of 4 August, North Vietnamese patrol boats again launched an attack on Maddox, but this time the ship was accompanied by destroyer USS Turner Joy (DD-951). With fresh intelligence on North Vietnamese intent, crews on the American ships were more prepared for an attack. Early detection of their presence and skillful evasion permitted the destroyers to break contact with the first wave of attacks. However, little over an hour later, enemy torpedo boats closed in again, launching torpedoes. Maddox began firing starshells for illumination while Turner Joy opened fire on the attacking boats. USS Ticonderoga (CV-14) provided requested naval aviation support. The fighting continued for the next two-and-a-half hours before the North Vietnamese broke contact. None of the American ships were damaged during the engagements. Within a few hours, retaliation in the form of airstrikes on North Vietnamese patrol boat bases and their supporting oil storage depots commenced. The Gulf of Tonkin incident permitted President Lyndon B. Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, via the Tonkin Resolution, to greatly escalate U.S. military involvement in Vietnam.
After the incident, Maddox resumed carrier operations until departing for Long Beach on 17 September. After arriving back at homeport, the ship remained in a leave and upkeep status until mid-January 1965. After conducting a series of training exercises and repairs in preparation for the ship's next western Pacific deployment, Maddox departed Long Beach on 10 July, and in early August, commenced operating with fast carriers in the Gulf of Tonkin. For the next four months, Maddox provided gunfire support off the coast of South Vietnam with aircraft carriers in their area of operations. By the end of November, the ship steamed for Long Beach, arriving on 16 December.
In the summer of 1966, Maddox steamed to Pearl Harbor on a training cruise for midshipmen. After returning to Long Beach, the ship deployed once again with Seventh Fleet making port calls at Pearl Harbor, Midway, Guam, and Taiwan. After the stops, Maddox visited Singapore and crossed the line, reaching the equator on 8 February 1967. The ship departed Subic Bay in the Philippines for home by way of Australia, New Zealand, and Pearl Harbor. The ship arrived back at Long Beach on 7 June. Maddox made two more short deployments to the western Pacific in 1968 where it conducted a variety of routine missions. Maddox was decommissioned in early 1969.
Maddox received four battle stars for the ship's World War II service, six for the Korean War, and a Navy Unit Commendation for the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

State Representative
Position 1, District 16
Re-Elect
Mark Klicker
"I have been serving my community for most of my life and now I would like to extend my service to the 16th legislative district of Washington State. I look forward to meeting you and understanding what you believe are important issues in our district."
With 39,000 farms operating on more than 15 million acres, Washington is a major agricultural state. We produce over 300 commercial crops and livestock products valued at $7.9 billion to Washington farmers and ranchers.
Agriculture is one of the most important industries in the 16th district. It is NOT an industry that is limited to the fields, orchards or forests. It includes companies that pack, manufacture & mill our products, supply our parts, equipment & chemicals and includes the businesses that offer for sale the end products the American farmer produces.
A majority of this District's economy depends on agriculture and I will work diligently to protect this industry in the 16th District and throughout the State.
LAND USE & WATER
Property ownership and the water rights that accompany the property need to be protected. These rights are being eroded by the liberal agenda of the majority party in the Senate, House of Representatives and bureaucrats in Olympia currently in office.
As a regional director for 17 years with the Washington Farm Bureau, in addition to my 30 years of community involvement in land and water use issues, I have unparalleled experience in seeking and implementing solutions not only to protect those rights but to also protect the custom, culture and economic stability of our district.
I will take that experience and collaborative achievements with me to Olympia and fight hard to make changes to unacceptable laws that are detrimental to our district and state.
Our state does not have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. In an effort to make it more difficult to raise taxes, the voters approved I-960 which required a 2/3rd majority vote in the legislature to raise taxes; however, the Democrats, who currently hold a majority in the House and the Senate, passed legislation that eliminated I-960.
The Democrats are currently trying to implement a new "capital gains" tax as a way to sneak around a graduated income tax without a constitutional amendment. Just another way to overburden and create more hardship for our overtaxed citizens.
As a state, we need to live within our means just as families and employers do every day. I will work for the citizens of our district and state and do everything in my power to keep this legislation from passing.
According to our State Constitution, the funding of education is the only item specifically singled out where the state must spend taxpayer money.
"It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provisions for the education of all children residing within its borders."
Education is what drives our economy and quality of life in Washington. I believe more control must be given to local school boards in order to meet the educational needs of our students in our district.
I have been very involved in both the Walla Walla public and private school districts over the years. I co-chaired the new Walla Walla High School track project from start to finish. We were able to bring a "Private-Public" partnership to the table and accomplish something extraordinary. As a result, I believe the community was inspired by this effort and it helped influence the major school bond levy passed last year for renovation and construction of existing and new facilities within the school district.
I will take proactive ideas to Olympia and find solutions to help enhance education throughout the state. It is imperative to provide the opportunity to educate and train our youth with skills in the event college or trade school is not an option. I am committed to laying that foundation in Olympia.
LAW ENFORCEMENT/EMS
Public safety and the health of our citizens is paramount to our District and our State. We are so very fortunate to have high caliber law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel to protect us from harm and to keep us alive and safe.
I will keep this at the top of my agenda to prioritize funding and develop new programs for these public services.
Transportation options are critical to Southeastern Washington for importing supplies and exporting products. Having solid transportation is paramount to the safety of the traveling public.
While some Democrats will agree that rail, road, and river are essential modes of transportation, we must not permit the majority party in Olympia to continually promote the removal of dams (as Oregon Governor Kate Brown recently did) or to pass more controversial low-carbon fuel mandates as the House Majority did in 2020. As Representative Andrew Barkus R-Olympia clearly stated;
"Republicans are committed to economically sustainable environmental policies that do not place extra costs and financial burdens on the taxpayers of Washington state. Unfortunately, the majority party feels it is more important to continue to tax the people of this state through increased fuel costs, increased costs in the transportation of goods and services, and ultimately the increased price of food. There is no doubt that this low-carbon fuel standard is a regressive tax that will put more financial burdens on those who can least afford it. We must do better for the people of Washington state."
I will work collaboratively to encourage creative programs that provide incentives, not laws and regulations that put companies out of business and people out of work. My extensive experience working collectively with government, environmentalists, tribal representatives, businesses and farmers to create programs will be beneficial in Olympia.
A great example, when I chaired the Walla Walla County Voluntary Stewardship Program. Together we have and continue to implement efforts to protect critical areas on farmland while keeping the viability of production agriculture. This shows that if we work together, everyone benefits.

Despite the relatively warm reception from fans of the comic and new fans who were just introduced to the franchise via the films, creator Mike Mignola has confirmed that there are no immediate plans for a 3rd installment in the Hellboy movie franchise.
"The biggest problem I see as far as PR for the next billion years is explaining endlessly not only that there's no Hellboy 3 movie, but it's going to be explaining 'It's a series, but it's not a monthly series," Mignola told Comic Book Resources.
Mignola's statement is fairly disappointing, especially since both Ron Perlman (who played Hellboy in the movies) and director Guillermo Del Toro have expressed interest in wrapping up the story.

Q: Replace values in a dimension of a 2D numpy array, from a map dictionary I need to replace the values of a certain index in all lists inside a list, with a value from a dictionary, which is mapped for a different index of that list.
Or, if the first index value of every list(which are inside a bigger list), equals a key in the dictionary, then the value at the second index in that list, changes to the value from the dict.
For ex: L = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
        D = {'1':50, '4':10, '7':20} ##if first index is any of these keys, then the second index becomes the value
        New List = [[1,50,3],[4,10,6],[7,20,9]]

This is because I have a image with HSV values, and need to replace the saturation value of every pixel according to a curve, which describes the saturation for each color(hue), like the Hue vs Saturation curve in after effects.
So a curve describes the saturation values for each hue value, I need to iterate all the pixels, and according to their hue values, change the saturation from a dictionary, hope this explains well.

A: Use
for sub in L:
    sub[1] = D.get(str(sub[0]), 0)

This uses a default value of 0 if the dictionary does not have the List value.
Produces
[[1, 50, 3], [4, 10, 6], [7, 20, 9]]

A: Yes this can be done as follows:
L = np.array([[1,2,3],[6,4,5],[7,8,9], [10,11,12]])
D = {'1':50, '4':10, '7':20, '8':30, '10':45}
keys = np.array(list(D.keys()), dtype=int)
vals = np.array(list(D.values()), dtype=int)

srt = L.ravel().argsort()

ind = np.searchsorted(L.ravel(),keys, sorter=srt)

r =L.ravel()
r[srt[ind]+1]= vals
print(r.reshape(L.shape))

Output:
 [[1 50  3]
 [ 6  4 10]
 [ 7 20 30]
 [10 45 12]]

A: If the numbers are all natural numbers and the range is not very large, it may be the fastest to make a mapping array and generate the results through the index:
>>> L
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6],
       [7, 8, 9]])
>>> mapping = np.zeros(L[:, 0].max() + 1, int)
>>> mapping[np.fromiter(D, int)] = list(D.values())
>>> mapping
array([ 0, 50,  0,  0, 10,  0,  0, 20])
>>> L[:, 1] = mapping[L[:, 0]]
>>> L
array([[ 1, 50,  3],
       [ 4, 10,  6],
       [ 7, 20,  9]])

Médecins Sans Frontières On Drug Prices – You Can't Negotiate Blindfolded
Katy Athersuch, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Senior Policy Advisor – Medical Innovation & Access, spoke to Health Policy Watch about the recent proposal by Italy's Minister of Health, Giulia Grillo, for a World Health Assembly resolution on transparency in drug pricing (Health Policy Watch 18 February). The far-reaching proposal asks countries to require disclosure by pharmaceutical companies of their R&D and, manufacturing costs, and public subsidies received, at the time a drug is registered. The resolution would also strengthen WHO's role in global monitoring and assessment of available data on the costs and pricing of essential medicines. This is the first in a series of Q&As on the issue, looking towards April's Fair Pricing Forum, where WHO member states will convene in South Africa, followed by the annual World Health Assembly in May.

11 Questions, 11 Answers
Hey all! Kristin at My Life as a Teacup tagged me to answer 11 questions a loooooong time ago, so since I actually have time to sit and breathe I thought now would be the perfect time to FINALLY answer her questions 🙂
Kristin's Questions:
1. If you were given a one-way plane ticket, where would you go?:
I want to say Paris just because… y'know it's Paris AND they have a super fancy Disneyland there, but I think I'd want a one-way ticket to Portland, OR. I haven't been there since I was in diapers, but soooooo many people have told me that I'd totally love it there and from what I've heard I think I would. 🙂
2. What's the first thing you do once you wake up in the morning?:
I check my emails and Instagram feed on my phone. x__x
3. If you could go back to live in any time period or era, which would you choose?:
I'm totally content with living in the 21st century with all our advanced technologies and plumbing systems and the fact that most of the population are tolerant towards interracial relationships (people would be looking at me funny in the 60s with my white beau, can you imagine?!). But if I could travel back via the TARDIS I'd love the visit the late 70s/early 80s and watch a Queen concert. Freddie Mercury FOREVER! I'd also love to see The Police ❤
4. Who's your literary character crush?
I liked Edward Cullen for a minute, but then I realized he's a super creepy possessive stalker douchebag that would be terrible at spooning on account of the fact that his body is supposed to be as hard as marble. Seriously WTF, Bella? I had a bit of a thing for Robert Langdon from Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code since I pictured him as an Indiana Jones type, but then Tom Hanks kind of ruined it for me. Sorry, Hanx. I love you! You are my favorite actor, but you just weren't what I pictured for my dreamy professor! But as far as fictional characters in the realm of TV and movies go, I love me some Ned the Pie Maker from Pushing Daisies. He's adorable, sweet, and he can bake pies for you. What. Is. Up.
5. What is one challenge that initially terrified you, but you persevered through to overcome?
I landed my very first retail gig about a month ago, and for the sake of anonymity and not getting in trouble with the company I won't say what store I work at, but the thought of being a cashier has ALWAYS freaked me out. By now I've been at the register so many times and I'm pretty used to it. There are moments where I have brain farts with counting change and then I feel terrible about it, but it's really not as horrible as I thought it would be. Plus some customers have told me I'm a good salesperson, so YAY!
6. Tell me a story about the most cherished of your senses (a particular memory tied to the scent of baking gingerbread, a sound that strikes fear into your heart, be creative!)
I don't think I have an exact memory of a certain sense, but I do find the smell of chlorine quite pleasant. It can be an obnoxious scent at times, but it reminds me of all the times I spent swimming in the pool as a kid and it also reminds me of Disneyland! It's just a scent that I connect with good times from days gone by.
7. What is one movie/show/book/video game that you're looking forward to seeing/reading/playing in 2013?
Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special!!! I can't wait to see how Rose Tyler and the 10th Doctor will be incorporated. David Tennant was a fantastic Doctor, so it's definitely going to be a treat for all Whovians to see him don his striped suit and white Chucks once more 🙂
8. Favorite pancake flavor? (I'm partial to blueberry!)
I'm more of a waffle person, they're like pancakes but with more depth (literally!). Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream has been a tried and true favorite since I was a kid!
9. What is the last book you read?
I honestly can't even remember — possibly An Abundance of Katherines or The Catcher in the Rye (which was eons ago a.k.a. sometime last year). I've started a few books, but have yet to pick them back up. My mind keeps wandering whenever I attempt to read. I don't know why it's so hard for me to focus now, and I REALLY hate it! Perhaps I should look into audiobooks…?
10. Who would you choose to play you in a movie of your life?
I don't know what actress looks like me. My friend Shanice said she'd cast Lindsay Price to play me in a movie. But maybe America Ferrera? The make-up people would have to do her eye makeup to make her look Asian though. And Tom Hiddleston would play my boyfriend because my boyfriend quasi resembles him. 😀
11. If you had to choose a single word to serve as a focus or goal for 2013, which would it be?
"Forward," because I need to keep moving in that direction.
Who is your favorite Disney princess and why? We all have one, so don't dare say you don't!
What song must you play at full blast and sing along to in the car?
What's your poison? (I stick to water for the most part, but I do love me some Root Beer)
What's your favorite kind of dessert?
If Ben & Jerry made a namesake ice cream for you like 30 Rock's Liz Lemon, what ingredients would you want them to include in it?
If you knew you were dying tomorrow what would be your last meal? (I'm so hungry, can you tell by my questions?)
What is your most prized possession?
What are you currently obsessed with? (movie, tv show, book, music etc)
What movie can you recite word for word (or at least 85% of)?
Are there any fashion trends you fell victim to that you immensely regret? (I rocked a vinyl mini backpack and short sleeve velvet turtlenecks, but it was the 90s and I was 10 so I guess it's okay…?)
Say we're living in the realm of Harry Potter and you are a witch — what would your patronus be and why? If you're not into Harry Potter (but seriously, why wouldn't you be?!) what/who would your spirit animal be and why?

Q: The best way to accomplish Ajax Feeds I'm currently starting a new project that will display user distrubuted data links in an ajax feed on front end.
What I'm looking to accomplish is very similar to the to the Facebook Feeds on there index, where the content is updated every X Seconds.
I already have half of the PHP side completed such as the Entities Compiler etc, But what I am looking to find out is
"What is the best way to accomplish this"
I'm taking into consideration the following

*

*The Dom's sensitivity

*Polling back end to wait for enough new feeds before update

*Security

*Speed and Bandwidth. Both User and Server.

I'm going to start a new JS library system that will control data flows from and to the server as well as GUI, but it will be built to incorporate other libraries such as jQuery, prototype etc.
Any advice on this would be appreciated !
Rob

A: I believe the Prototype JS Periodical updater would perfectly fit your requirements. I used it on a forum project for school, and it's really easy to implement. Just give it the adress of the PHP script that loads content from the database, and he will go get it, and replace/prepend/append it to the area of your choice. You can even set up a decay.
Hope I have helped.

Q: OnePlus (Android 10) - Main screen freezes when on PIP Mode android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:supportsPictureInPicture="true"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="screenSize|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|stateHidden"
android:parentActivityName=".activity.MyDriefCaseMenu"
android:resizeableActivity="true"
android:autoRemoveFromRecents="true"
android:excludeFromRecents="true"
android:allowTaskReparenting="true"

Above are the attributes of the activity in manifest. The PIP mode does not allow me to do other task in my app. The screen freezes. This is on OnePlus 6t only

A: Your Manifest looks good Bro.
I will suggest you to add one more activity attribute in manifest (If you are using multi activity architecture)
android:taskAffinity="pipFeature"

This will keep your PIP activity in different stack. Thus the behaviour will be different than other activities of application.
2nd most important thing to fix your issue is -
Since you are using OnePlus 6T (Your question dated 22nd April) you might be having Android 10 OS (API level 29).
Just checking in your gradle whether you targeted API level 29 or not. If you have targetSdkVersion below 29 (Android 10) then PIP feature will behave weird just like you said freezes the screen when pressed back.
So,
targetSdkVersion 29

or above is must.
I know I am late answering this but this might help others. I was also having same issue while working on old project which I solved with above given solution.

Sumuhu'ali Dharih (sabäisch s1mhʿly ynf S1umuʿalī Yanūf), Sohn des Yada'il Yanuf oder des Yada'il Bayyin I., war ein Herrscher (Mukarrib) des altsüdarabischen Reiches Saba. Hermann von Wissmann und Kenneth A. Kitchen setzte ihn um 735 bzw. 745–725 v. Chr. an.

Von Sumuhu'ali Dharih stammen eine oder zwei Herrscherinschriften. Die eine wurde ca. 9 km südlich von Marib gefunden und beurkundet einen Grundstückskauf für seinen Sohn Waqah'il. Ein Inschriftenbruchstück mit dem Inhalt "...]i Dharih Sohn des Yada'il, Mukarrib von Saba[..." stammt vermutlich ebenfalls von ihm.

"Everyone knows that once a lemur takes a fancy to you there is not much that can be done about it. That's just what happens to a little boy when a lemur begins to follow him in the park one day, and more of the adoring animals join in. The boy does everything to ditch the playful creatures, from jumping on a train to flying in a hot-air balloon to climbing the highest mountain. But nothing works, AND he's lost, too! It's then that his constant companions show just why they make the very best of friends." --Publisher's web site.


As this newsletter reported last month, the City of Boston is rolling out a new Hot Work Safety Program in response to the high profile Back Bay brownstone fire in 2014. Starting in 2017, the City of Boston will require that in order to receive a permit to do hot work, all employees will have to complete a course designed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
The Boston Hot Work Safety Certificate Program will consist of a 3 hour course creating awareness of fire safety issues and educating workers on regulations and standards. It will culminate in a 20 question multiple choice test which must be passed by all employees. The cost of the course will be $25 per employee.
The Hot Work Safety Certificate Program is being rolled out now with classes offered at NFPA Headquarters, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy MA 02169.

Justice For Botham Jean: Saint Lucian Killed In His Dallas Apartment by off duty Dallas police officer.
Dear America,
Not just black America, but the general population of the United States of America, if it has to take the murder of a non-national to teach you what it means to be fair to YOUR OWN, honest, suffocate racism and it's injustice, then so be it. If it has to take the brutal death of a champion of a young man from my island nation of Saint Lucia to teach you to support each other and fight as a country to protect your very own, then so be it. If it has to take such a horrendous situation to teach YOU America the meaning of togetherness and accept diversity through equality, then so be it.
If it has to take the criminal death of an immigrant who comes from a country which needs visa access into your country, where many others are denied visa entry, even when simply desiring to vacation or pop in for a few days to shop, do business, see friends or family, then so be it.
If it has to take the death of Botham S. Jean to teach you that your country is truly "One Nation Under God" and realize that you are truly the UnUNITED States of America through your subdivided system thriving in lack of diversity as a 1st world country that's supposed to be DEVELOPED, sadly, THEN SO BE IT!
A country, my nation, my small island nation which only got independence on February 22nd, 1979 WILL show you HOW to support your own. The land of green bananas and saltfish, hot bakes and cocoa tea and fresh fruits all year round will show you how to do right by your people.
My volcanic island with 2 Nobel laureates, dynamic men and women of academic and God-given talents and diversity shall show you. We shall show why we overcame slavery over a century ago and why this paradise island withstand hurricanes yearly. We'll show you why our people migrate and succeed in your land within prominent fields or silently in the background, while using this to boost our small island nation. God gave Himself a pat on the shoulder when He created Saint Lucia and planned our future as a people. As a nation.
We'll show you what family means. You know, quarrel among each other, but stand tall to protect our own when push comes to shove. If you don't know how to do it for your own, this "likkle" speck on the map which is the number one honeymoon destination in the world that's loved globally, but ignored like an underdog will inspire you. We'll fertilize the seed which is malnourished within your community. We'll bring the donkey to the well, but we can't force America to drink out of it. Regardless we'll show you that our very own, in his death, unlike many of your own, shall be vindicated. Our prayers and vigils are not unnoticed. Our brilliantly educated people don't speak words that go through deaf ears: Our actions are proactive. This mosquito of a nation shall show you why David bested Goliath and, no offense, we shall inspire you, especially those within your community who have been trying for decades to do what we are doing right now, including your celebrities, activists among others to NOT GIVE UP HOPE, for we all get weary, but at times it takes a spark to create an explosion of change and give the vitamins that boost an era of change into the system that many of your own have been crying over while trying to simply….. live.
