'If You're Reading These Words, We've Succeeded': Prison Poetry Program Help Inmates Break Stereotypes
By Frances Wang May 22, 2019 at 11:00 pm

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Every day, people are sentenced to prison for a variety of crimes. They're all different from race, age and even the crimes they committed. But once they're locked behind those bars, society's view of them changes and they become the violent stereotypes seen in moves, television and more.
One prison program looks to change that narrative by using writing and poetry to make a difference while allowing inmates to prove to outsiders that they are more than the cold-blooded criminals people make them out to be.
That includes Eduardo 'Echo' Martinez who is used to being judged because of the tattoos all over his body.
"They ask me what gang I'm affiliated with," said Martinez. "I'm not in any gang."
On his eyes, the words 'No Evil' are tattooed.

"When my eyes are closed, I see no evil," said Martinez.
From his lips, words pour out from his heart.
Martinez is the poet laureate of the Exchange for Change Program at the Dade Correctional Institution in Homestead.
Through the program, inmates exchange letters with volunteers outside of prison. The goal is to get the outside world ready for when the inmates are released and return to society. It's also to get the inmates ready for the outside world.
The program also currently offers 15 classes for inmates to take legal writing, film review, song writing, spoken word, trauma, memoir, Spanish poetry and more.
On May 17, nearly 100 inmates took prepared for their graduation from the program.
They performed their pieces to a live audience, giving them a chance to share their innermost thoughts with the outside world.
Martinez, the master of ceremonies for the graduation, wrote his own poem and read it to CBS4's Frances Wang.

"You would be surprised how deep incarcerated minds dive and the treasures they find when they're buried alive," Martinez read. "Everyone's gifted, they just need help unwrapping themselves. It's sad that most men in here feel that society would rather see a monkey with a diamond ring, than one of us shine and succeed. Misconceptions fall both ways like tears fall from both eyes."
The crowd attending this ceremony included volunteers with organizations that partner up with the prison as part of the program, including the University of Miami, Florida Atlantic University, FIU, Miami-Dade College, and O, Miami.

Martinez addressed the audience before the prisoners went up to perform. He reminded them how much it meant to him and his fellow inmates to have them in attendance.
"Perception, we're perceived in a lot of many ways in society," said Martinez to the crowd. "These labels that we wear daily. And we take that. We sit back and we take these words that are thrown about, about us and we accept them without wanting to accept them. But today we have you guys coming over here to break that perception that you have of us."
"It's an honor to have you guys here, it's an honor for us to get behind this microphone and share this piece of our experience with you," Martinez added.
Martinez realizes society and the audience may fear the prisoners, but he admitted the inmates are even more terrified.
"As you guys sit back and watch the show, you're going to see a lot of guys come up here and I want you to know that this is their first 'fist fight' with stage fright," Martinez said to the audience. "I'm hoping we give out a few black eyes to stage fright."
And that they did.
"If you truly want people to forgive you, then you must first truly forgive yourself," said one inmate as he read his poem to the audience. "So, I stand up and I shake myself like a soda can and I pop this top and release this pressure called unforgiveness. And so now, the healing process begins, I forgive me, can you?"
Several inmates pose for an applause. (CBS4Miami)
The inmates' performances were received by a standing ovation from the audience. Many of them fought to hold back tears. They were given a moment to share their own thoughts on what the inmates shared with them.
But for the prisoners, this only lasts a moment.
As soon as the ceremony ends, the audience leaves and it's back to their cells.
Martinez will turn 40 this year and he has spent half of his life in prison.
On July 4, 2000, when Martinez was barely 20-years-old, he tried to rob a man at gunpoint. A scuffle ensued, the gun went off and the man died.
"Every day, I feel bad for it. I feel bad for the hurt I've caused people," Martinez said.
Martinez was given a life sentence for second-degree murder and attempted robbery because he did not take a plea deal.
He doesn't say he is serving a life sentence, but rather he was given one.
"At the end of the day, I feel like I can give it right back," said Martinez. "I feel like I can give it right back, if it's through a poem, through a piece of writing, persevering and being a good person."
Martinez embodies the hope of the Exchange for Change program, according to organizers.
The hope is for rehabilitation and redemption, a hope Martinez holds on to even though most would tell him otherwise.
"We hold onto hope," said Martinez. "Hope in here is like, I argue with hope all the time."
That's because most of the inmates who sign up for the program will be released at some point.
Martinez, while serving a life sentence, said he has to hold onto hope for his son Eddie, who is now almost 20-years-old, the same age as Martinez when he was locked up.

"Eddie, I'm proud of you. You're graduating this year, going to prom, doing good man. You're a success in basketball, you passed high school," said Martinez. "You beat the odds, you beat the statistics, and you're part of my motivation. You inspire me."
Martinez still hopes one day, somehow, he'll be free.
"You're what keeps the hope alive that one day, I'm going to get out and help you succeed in life."
Until then, Martinez keeps writing, because the only thing he knows can find freedom for sure are his words.
"Because if you're reading these words, we've succeeded. My words are breathing freedom and that's my reason to keep pushing this pen again," reads Martinez. "Believing that somebody out there is listening and might just care in humanity enough to help us make a change."
The Exchange for Change program started in August 2014 with 17 inmates. By the end of 2019, more than 900 inmates will have graduated from the program. It is only being offered in two prisons right now, but they are starting a pilot program at the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Q: SIGABRT on throwing and catching exceptions with GCC on Mac OS X I'm currently working on proper error management in a C++ library I'm maintaining. When writing a unit test for some negative cases (i. e. testing the proper throwing of exceptions), the unit test suite simply aborted with SIGABRT. I went on a hunt and tried to boil down the error with simpler exceptions being thrown and experimenting with various catch statements. But even a catch-all block could not prevent the crash (for a MWE see below).
My setup is this: I'm working on a Mac with the most current OS X Big Sur 11.1 with the latest XCode Command Line Tools installed. I'm using GCC from Homebrew, currently v10.2.0_1.
$ g++-10 -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=g++-10
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/10.2.0_1/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin20/10.2.0/lto-wrapper
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20
Configured with: ../configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin20 --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/10.2.0_1 --libdir=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/10.2.0_1/lib/gcc/10 --disable-nls --enable-checking=release --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,fortran --program-suffix=-10 --with-gmp=/usr/local/opt/gmp --with-mpfr=/usr/local/opt/mpfr --with-mpc=/usr/local/opt/libmpc --with-isl=/usr/local/opt/isl --with-system-zlib --with-pkgversion='Homebrew GCC 10.2.0_1' --with-bugurl=https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues --disable-multilib --with-native-system-header-dir=/usr/include --with-sysroot=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk SED=/usr/bin/sed
Thread model: posix
Supported LTO compression algorithms: zlib
gcc version 10.2.0 (Homebrew GCC 10.2.0_1)

I also compiled GCC myself using Apples system toolchain. The output of the self-compiled GCC is this:
$ /opt/gcc/10.2.0/bin/g++-10 -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=/opt/gcc/10.2.0/bin/g++-10
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/opt/gcc/10.2.0/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin20/10.2.0/lto-wrapper
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20
Configured with: ../configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin20 --prefix=/opt/gcc/10.2.0 --libdir=/opt/gcc/10.2.0/lib/gcc/10 --disable-nls --enable-checking=release --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,fortran --program-suffix=-10 --with-system-zlib --disable-multilib --with-native-system-header-dir=/usr/include --with-sysroot=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk SED=/usr/bin/sed
Thread model: posix
Supported LTO compression algorithms: zlib
gcc version 10.2.0 (GCC)

The result is still the same: exceptions abort the program.
My minimum working example is this:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>

int main()
{
    try {
        throw "this is an exception text";
    }
    catch(const char* e)
    {
        std::cerr << e << std::endl;
    }
    catch(...)
    {
        std::cerr << "Unknown error!" << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

This compiles fine and produces the expected output on my Linux VM.
I'm using the following commands to compile it on my Mac:
$ g++-10 -o bin/main.o -c -std=c++11 main.cpp
$ g++-10 -o bin/main bin/main.o
$ ./bin/main
[1]    60310 abort      ./bin/main

Using LLDB yields:
(lldb) run
Process 61177 launched: './bin/main' (x86_64)
Process 61177 stopped

    frame #7: 0x00007fff20343621 libdyld.dylib`start + 1

It seems to me as if another error happens during the unwind phase which then leads to the termination. Which would also explain, why no catch block is ever reached.
This is way out of my realm of expertise, so any ideas are welcome.
Edit: Updated question after the latest GCC Homebrew release.

A: I confirm the unexpected behaviour on Big Sur, Homebrew GCC 10.2.0_2 setup. Changing the linked brew libstdc++ to the system one (assuming the one found in /usr/lib is installed by macOS) solved the problem on my setup:
$ g++-10 main.cpp -o main -std=c++11
$ ./main
Abort trap: 6
$ otool -L main
main:
    /usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/10/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.28.0)
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1292.60.1)
    /usr/local/lib/gcc/10/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
$ install_name_tool -change /usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/10/libstdc++.6.dylib /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib main
$ ./main
this is an exception text

Alternatively, setting export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib before running main has the same effect.
Update: The bug has been fixed and the patch is included in brew's gcc-10.2.0_3.

Q: Inspecting SSL cert returned via LWP request I'm requesting a web page using LWP in perl, and I'd like to be able to access the SSL certificate that the web server presents (I'm looking for an expiration date in the cert, among other things).  The information I want isn't in the three headers that Crypt::SSLeay adds to the request.  Is there a way that I'm overlooking with which I can get an object reference (ideally) for the SSL cert?  I've scanned some perl docs and Google, but it's been a long week and I'm probably just not reading the right thing.
If I can avoid it, I don't want to directly fetch the certificate by making a separate raw SSL connection - since there's an authenticated web proxy in the way and LWP just makes that problem transparently dissapear for me. :)  And it's silly to make two connections when the data I need is already being transferred to my machine /somewhere/...

A: None of the callbacks that LWP provides give (intentional) access to the socket, but there does seem to be one potential workaround -- if you provide the keep_alive and conn_cache options to LWP, at the end of the request LWP will call ->deposit on the conn_cache object with the connection socket as an argument. You could either write a dummy conn-cache object, or just "creatively" use the LWP::ConnCache that LWP provides.
Anyway, if you use that backhanded method to get a hold of the socket, it will be a subclass of Net::SSL (assuming you're using ssleay), so you'll be able to just call ->get_peer_certificate on it.

Every business owner wants to make its business/office or franchise more profitable. The key of successful in every business is to improve your customer service. It is important that you deliver great customer experience by answering their question in a helpful manners or resolving complaints - and going above them every time. A satisfied and happy customer is likely to return and tell others about the good experiences that they had when dealing with your company. Your business will get the advantage of direct advertisement such as, a word of mouth recommendations from friends and colleagues are very valuable.
Here are some simple customer service tips which will help you to make your business successful.
Be sure that your client is satisfied with your services. Simply keeping the lines of communication open with the customer helps make them feel special and important. Make certain that your contact information on the logbook is up to date. Offer as many ways to contact you as possible; include email, fax numbers, cell and home phone numbers.
Employees who are outgoing and understanding of the concerns and needs of your customers help you keep the lines of communication from getting muddled.
Take customer complaints seriously, no matter how small or minor they may seem. Answer all emails or phone calls within an hour. This shows the customer that you really do care and that you take their needs seriously.
Remember to use words like - Thank you – Please - You're Welcome. Even if the customer is upset or being impolite themselves, keep your words, tone and actions as polite and calm as possible. Once a situation is resolved, you will be remembered for keeping your polite tone throughout a rough situation.
No one is perfect. If a mistake is made, admit the mistake as quickly as possible and do everything you can to correct the situation. Apologize for the error and be ready to go over and above to make it up to your customer.
Customers are the foundation of any successful business. If your customers are not happy with services you are providing, they will go to another company. The most important key while running a business is to retain your old customers. The best way to do that is to keep them happy and coming back for more of what they expect by giving excellent customer service. It costs you five times higher to keep your current customer then to win a new one. Linking to your customers on an emotional stage is the key to developing a long term connection with your brand. You must go beyond basically providing your item and create powerful ties with your clients.


Excellent Apple technician service in my home. The technician really helped with our issues and was very careful. He answered all of our questions clearly so that we could understand. Our security settings were also reviewed which was reassuring.
The selection was exactly what we wanted. When they did not have the exact fabric we wanted they suggested where we could get it and we were able to order essentially a custom designed (for us) chair and sofa. The price was also reasonable as well.
The staff were very helpful in showing us quality fabric choices for a chair and sofa we were having made. They are always friendly and offer suggestions when needed. The whole experience was enjoyable for us!

Tom Cruise, Elon Musk's SpaceX plan first movie shot in space: Report
Actor in talks with private firm and NASA on an action-adventure film
By Thomas Barrabi FOXBusiness
Elon Musk's aviation firm SpaceX and actor Tom Cruise are in early talks with NASA on a project to shoot the first-ever feature film in space, according to a report Monday.
The action-adventure film would put Cruise on board a real SpaceX vessel, Deadline reported. At present, there is no Hollywood studio attached to the project and few other details are available.
MICROSOFT NOTES 'MINIMAL' CORONAVIRUS IMPACT AS REVENUE TOPS EXPECTATIONS
Representatives for SpaceX and NASA did not immediately return a request for comment.
If it proceeds, the film would build on Cruise's reputation for performing high-profile stunts on set. As the star of the "Mission: Impossible" franchise, the 57-year-old actor has scaled the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai, clung to a plane during takeoff and leaped from rooftop to rooftop.
UFC PRESIDENT DANA WHITE'S QUARANTINE ROUTINE INCLUDES TRUMP CALLS, FAMILY TIME
SpaceX is one of several firms contracted to develop equipment in NASA's "Artemis" project, which aims to return astronauts to the moon by the year 2024. Musk's firm is developing the "Starship" lander as part of that initiative. A SpaceX Dragon shutter will deliver astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station later this month.
Additionally, SpaceX, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and billionaire Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic are vying to launch commercial space flights for civilians in the coming years. Musk has identified trips to Mars as the company's long-term goal.
Cruise isn't the first celebrity linked to spaceflight aspirations. Virgin Galactic has already sold $250,000 tickets for 90-minute suborbital flights to Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Bieber, according to Reuters.

Dr. W.J. Martin read a paper on this topic supplementing one he read at the meeting of the Pennsylvania Homoeopathic Medical Society, and confirming what he then said concerning this remedy in diphtheria.
"Tarantula Cubensis is one of that class of priceless remedies peculiar to our school obtained from the animal kingdom; it is an animal polson; it is a congener of Apis, Lachesis, Crotalus etc…….. In their application to diphtheria there is a welldefined difference in the class of cases to which either Apis Lachesis, or Tarantula is suitable. Apis and Lachesis are called for in cases of a marked sthenic type. In Apis we have great debility and prostration from the start, suspicious absence of heat not much fever, no thirst, etc.
"September 27, 1891, was called early in the morning to a child of about three years who had been put to bed the evening before in good health and spirits. During the night he awoke sick, vomited, became very hot, complained of pain in the head and throat and stomach, was drowsy and stupid, yet would start up every little while as though frightened, cry a little and again become drowsy and stupid. The surface of the child's body felt intensely hot. I saw him in about six hours from the beginning of the sickness; he was very hot and flushed, pupils contracted, both tonsils very much enlarged, and both covered by a firm yellow membrane having the color of chamois skin.
"prescribed Tarant. 12, a dose every hour, and called again in about fourteen hours, when I found the febrile symptoms all very much modified, add the condition of the throat pretty much the same as in the morning. The remedy was now given every two hours.
"For two days more he took the Tarant., Steadily improving, and then improvement ceased. Now Merc. Iod. Flav. 3, was prescribed on account of the symptoms presented by the throat. Improvement again set in and continued steadily, so that I had the pleasure of dismissing the case on the seventh day.

ASU's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera survives meteoroid hit
On Oct. 13, 2014, something very strange happened to the camera aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), which normally produces beautifully clear images of the lunar surface, produced an image that was wild and jittery. From the sudden and jagged pattern apparent in the image, the LROC team determined that the camera must have been hit by a tiny meteoroid.
LROC is a system of three cameras mounted on the LRO spacecraft. Two Narrow Angle Cameras (NACs) capture high resolution black and white images. The third Wide Angle Camera captures moderate resolution images using filters to provide information about the properties and color of the lunar surface.
The NAC works by building an image one line at a time. The first line is captured, then the orbit of the spacecraft moves the camera relative to the surface, and then the next line is captured, and so on, as thousands of lines are compiled into a full image.
According to Mark Robinson, professor and principal investigator of LROC at ASU's School of Earth and Space Exploration, the jittery appearance of the image captured is the result of a sudden and extreme cross-track oscillation of the camera. LROC researchers concluded that there must have been a brief violent movement of the left Narrow Angle Camera.
There were no spacecraft events like solar panel movements or antenna tracking that might have caused spacecraft jitter during this period. "Even if there had been, the resulting jitter would have affected both cameras identically," Robinson said. "The only logical explanation is that the NAC was hit by a meteoroid."

Computer modeling shows the meteoroid impacted somewhere on the radiator. Photo courtesy of Malin Space Science Systems/ASU
How big was the meteoroid?
During LROC's development, a detailed computer model was made to ensure the NAC would not fail during the severe vibrations caused by the launch of the spacecraft. The computer model was tested before launch by attaching the NAC to a vibration table that simulates launch. The camera passed the test with flying colors, proving its stability.
Using this detailed computer model, the LROC team ran simulations to see if they could reproduce the distortions seen on the Oct. 13 image and determine the size of the meteoroid that hit the camera. They estimate the impacting meteoroid would have been about half the size of a pinhead (0.8mm), assuming a velocity of about 4.3 miles (7 kilometers) per second and a density of an ordinary chondrite meteorite (2.7 grams/cm3).
"The meteoroid was traveling much faster than a speeding bullet," Robinson said. "In this case, LROC did not dodge a speeding bullet, but rather survived a speeding bullet!"
How rare is it that the effects of an event like this were captured on camera? Very rare, according to Robinson. LROC typically only captures images during daylight and then only about 10 percent of the day, so for the camera to be hit by a meteor during the time that it was also capturing images is statistically unlikely.
"LROC was struck and survived to keep exploring the moon," Robinson said, "thanks to Malin Space Science Systems' robust camera design."
"Since the impact presented no technical problems for the health and safety of the instrument, the team is only now announcing this event as a fascinating example of how engineering data can be used, in ways not previously anticipated, to understand what is happing to the spacecraft over 236,000 miles (380,000 kilometers) from the Earth," said John Keller, LRO project scientist from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Launched on June 18, 2008, LRO has collected a treasure trove of data with its seven powerful instruments, making an invaluable contribution to our knowledge about the moon.
"A meteoroid impact on the LROC NAC reminds us that LRO is constantly exposed to the hazards of space," said Noah Petro, deputy project scientist from NASA Goddard. "And as we continue to explore the moon, it reminds us of how precious are the data that is being returned."
LRO is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, as a project under NASA's Discovery Program. The Discovery Program is managed by NASA's Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Obesity, already a global epidemic, is on the rise. Over one third of the U.S. population is currently afflicted, according to the Centers for Disease Control and the monetary costs alone are approaching $150 billion dollars annually. Causes of the epidemic include changing diets and greater sedentism, though environmental factors may also contribute.
A new study compares the two most common surgical therapies for obesity, known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). The results demonstrate that RYGB—the more aggressive of the two surgeries— produces profound changes in the composition of microbial communities in the gut, with the resulting gut flora distinct from both obese and normal weigh patients. The results are likely due to the dramatic reorganization of the gut caused by RYGB surgery, which increases microbial diversity. The new research paves the way for new diagnostics and therapies for obesity. Microbial diversity in the human gut: The four images indicate the degree of microbial diversity in the gut in normal patients as well as in obese patients before and after undergoing two types of weight-loss surgery. The normal human gut has a high degree of microbial diversity, considered important for the maintenance of health. Obese patients have lost much of this diversity and while laparascopic band surgery effectively leads to weight loss, the low microbial diversity condition remains. By contrast, gastric bypass surgery results in the restoration of microbial diversity in the gut, though the composition of microbes is distinct from both normal weight and obese patients.

The gamut of adverse health effects associated with obesity is broad, including such devastating illnesses as type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke and certain forms of cancer. Patients often suffer loss of mobility, social isolation and inability to work. Currently bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity, in terms of significant and sustained weight loss.
In the new study, appearing in the current issue of the Nature Publishing Group journal International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME), Zehra Esra Ilhan, Rosa Krajmalnik Brown and their colleagues at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State Univesity, along with researchers from Mayo Clinic, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, explore microbial communities in the human gut following RYBG and LAGB surgeries.
The results confirmed their earlier research with a smaller sample size, showing that in the case of the more aggressive and irreversible RYGB surgery, microbial communities underwent a profound and permanent shift following weight loss. The resulting post-surgical composition of gut microbes observed for RYGB patients was distinct from both normal weight and obese patients, and displayed the high microbial diversity associated with a healthy gut.
The current study also applied the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to examine the metabolome — a composite of the metabolites produced by the various microbes in the gut, again noting significant alterations as a result of the RYGB procedure. In the case of the alternate treatment, LAGB, changes in the gut microbiota were mild and accompanying weight loss was less pronounced.
"This is one of the first studies to show that anatomically different surgeries with different success rates have different microbiome and microbiome-related outcomes," noted Ilhan, lead author of the new paper. Further, the results indicate that correction of obesity tends to improve related metabolic conditions, including diabetes and high cholesterol.
"One of the key findings of the paper confirms what we had already observed in earlier research. RYGP gastric bypass had a huge effect on the microbial community structure," Krajmalnik-Brown said. This fact may have profound implications for both the understanding and management of obesity.
The body's personal assistants
The millions of bacterial microbes in the human gut perform a vast range of critical functions in the body and have even been implicated in mood and behavior. Among their critical responsibilities are the micro-management of nutrients in the food we digest, hence their central place in the regulation of body weight.
A tell-tale indicator of pathology in obese patients has been found in the gut, where a markedly lower diversity of microbial communities is observed. As Krajmalnik-Brown explains, diversity of gut microbes is essential to good health. "Diversity is good because of what we call functional redundancy," she said. "If you have 10 workers that can do the same job, when one of them gets sick, the job still gets done."
Low microbial diversity in the gut, by contrast, is associated not only with obesity but a range of ailments including inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis and autism. (Earlier research by Krajmalnik-Brown and her colleagues demonstrated diminished diversity in the gut microbiome of autistic children and in a more recent study, improvement in the symptoms of autism was demonstrated following transplantation of beneficial microbes.)
Competition in diverse microbial networks in the gut helps provide a system of checks and balances. Should diversity fall, a delicate democracy can be shattered and tyranny may prevail, as populations of microbes like Salmonella or Clostridium difficile — usually subsisting at low levels in the gut — expand and take over.
The study sought to explore long term changes in the gut in patients who had undergone either of the two surgeries at least 9 months prior, comparing them with normal weight and pre-bariatric obese patients. While the reasons for the sharp disparity of results between RYGB and gastric banding are not entirely clear, the results indicate that simply reducing the size of the stomach through gastric banding is not sufficient to induce the large changes in microbial communities observed for the RYGB group.
Operation weight loss
One hypothesis the authors put forward is that RYGB alters the physiology of the gut to such a degree that microbes formerly unable to survive conditions in the obese gut are able to flourish in their surgically-modified surroundings.
"One of the things we observe from the literature is that the oral microbiome community composition is very similar to the colon microbiome composition after bariatric surgery," Ilhan said. "You're giving new microbes a chance to make it. Most of the species are acid sensitive, which supports the idea that changes in stomach pH levels may permit these microbes to survive and make it to the colon."
According to John DiBaise, a gastroenterologist at Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale and co-author of the new study, "These new data on microbial community structure and function significantly expand our knowledge on how the microbiome is associated with weight loss following bariatric surgery."
While it seems clear that RYGB surgery produced permanent changes in bacterial communities in the gut, the resulting microbial community may also act to help maintain weight loss over the long term. Experiments have shown that transplantation of beneficial microbes from mice that have undergone RYGB surgery into obese mice induces dramatic weight loss. While these results have yet to be replicated in humans, the findings open the door to the eventual use of healthy microbial communities to treat obesity.
Weighing future research
Although the RYGB surgery has been quite successful for many patients suffering from morbid obesity, it is a serious, invasive procedure that is not without risks. Further, some patients are not successful and regain the weight they have lost post-surgery, perhaps because they lack the favorable microbes necessary for permanent weight loss.
As Ilhan said, "a probiotic that would replace surgery would be great. Another positive outcome would be if we can find a microbial biomarker that will identify the best candidates for surgery and sustained weight loss."

As we have referred in a previous article, the beginning of the year is always a period when things run a little slow in the eSports world. Well, not here, at least in the background, as we have been prepairing something that we are sure will please this news readers. After launching our current and beloved website in 2009, K1ck eSports Club is now presenting a new website by the codename kv14, a responsive website that it was about time to see the light of day in this fast changing world, having taken under consideration the mobile aspects among others such as the competition's management, in order to please our audience.
And because we know your time is precious, your previous login in the 2009 site is still valid in this new one. But that is not all, as we have laid the first stone in the foundation of our own K1ck Academy and as of today, the pre-registrations are open for all of you that ever wondered how you could improve your game and learn from the professionals, besides belonging to a team and getting to know a little better, this time from the inside, how the K1ck World is.
** UPDATE ** Due to the over 500 pre-registrations that we have received in less than a day, we will close this stage on Saturday the 22nd at 23h00, so if you register after that date, we will only analyse it later on, when we open another registration stage. Thank you all for rushing in and making a gratifying experience out of this.
We are starting the K1ck Academy with Counter-Strike Global Offensive and League of Legends gamers, but soon more can follow. And as always when it comes to K1ck, this won't be just another academy has we see many out there, but it will be competitive, ambitious, plus looking forward to reward the ones that work hard in order to climb up the ladder and improve their gaming. We will have several levels of expertise, starting with the most basic k9ck teams and going all the way up to the k2ck teams. If you are in a k4ck team, you should be happy with yourself, as you are better than the average player, but the goal of our gamers is to reach the k2ck level where anything can happen: receive stuff from our sponsors, have some expenses paid and, who knows, play for the K1ck team once in a while, or even get recruited for the main team, if you are that good. The gamers will be distributed into these levels once they are accepted in our K1ck Academy, being monitored and followed by our academy staff.
Merit-based and skill-based promotions will then occur, team captains will be chosen and you are set to go. Once you reach a good level, you will have the possibility of entering online competitions representing your team (k6ck, k5ck, k4ck or wherever you are at the moment), always respecting our internal code and rules of behavior. But besides the hard work to improve your gaming skills and learn how to be a better gamer, we will also have fun in our own academy tournaments and friendly matches, in some relaxing moments that everybody treasures. Our qualified staff will teach you the best gaming tricks and once in a while you will get tips from the pros and the possibility to ask them questions that you always wanted to know the answer to, but never could find out. And on top of this, we have already established partnerships with other international academies so we can share our knowledge and perform some academy fights every now and then.
So what are you waiting for? Fill in our pre-registration form for the game you love (CS:GO or League of Legends) and if you are accepted, once we launch it, join our Team Speak server where you will be able to look up at players such as k1ck-fox for instance, practicing hard to keep the title of being one of the best AWP in the world. And all of this for free!

Documents you should never sign "as is"
You barely have to get through your email inbox everyday, so you certainly don't have time to ready everything that comes across your desk.
This means you sign "paperwork" without thoroughly reading it.
You pick up a car at the rental counter and you sign a 3×12 card in two places and initial it in 3 other places…and you can't even read the print with a magnifying glass.
We've created a cultural norm that makes it perfectly acceptable to sign things without full and complete knowledge of the information contained on the very document we are signing. I bet you use a website every single day and agree to their terms of service without reading a single sentence!
As a reality check – I don't think I'm ever going to convince you not to sign a car rental agreement or make changes to your copier lease. And some of these agreements do not have enough at stake or are non-negotiable, so I wouldn't even try to convince you to read every word.
Commercial Leases: Commercial leases are written for the benefit of the landlord. It is not uncommon for them to include personal guarantees, rent escalation clauses, and fees and liability shifts for everything. At best, you receive a form agreement that does nothing to protect your rights. In fact, in just a couple days, I'll be going to trial in a commercial lease case where $350,000 is on the line, because the landlord snuck in a fraudulent clause without my clients' knowledge. Commercial leases are a big deal.
Insurance Paperwork: Insurance companies make a lot of money. They do so by limiting their liability. All of us assume there are regulations that protect us when we purchase insurance. (There are, but insurance companies are also one of the most powerful lobbies around.) In short, you don't want to comb through your insurance documents after a catastrophic event to make sure you are covered. You should have a good idea what it says in advance. And you should check the policy changes at renewal every year, because they can change the coverage definitions.
Contracts with Your Clients: Many businesses rely on template contracts they get off the internet when a client engages them. Or worse, they just do a bill of sale or a purchase order, without any contract whatsoever. Your business is not the same as every other business pulling contracts off the internet. So why would you assume that the same contract can work for all of you? Bad contracts and lack of a contract causes a good amount of litigation. Review contracts your customers given you carefully. And have a well-drafted Master Services Agreement for your business that is written by a lawyer who knows all about what you do.
Employment Agreements: So first of all, I do not recommend having a bunch of employee agreements because they might interfere with the at-will employment doctrine that (if you had me write it) is so jealously guarded in your handbook. But offer letters, policies and (sometimes) arbitration and confidentiality agreements are necessary. Executives also may require specially negotiated employment agreements. A template document cannot cover you for employees and unconsidered employment agreements should not be bandied about (unless you like wrongful termination lawsuits).
Indemnity Agreements: These can come up in several contexts. For example, an equipment supplier may require you to indemnify them if someone gets hurt. Or a landlord could require you to indemnify them if the building is not up to code. Data privacy is also a big deal, and when you are working online or with partners who have trade secrets or collect sensitive data, you may end up indemnifying them in the event of a hack. Whenever a document is not prepared in a way that minimizes your exposure, you should think long and hard before signing it.
Here's the reality: You shouldn't sign legal agreements without having a lawyer review it.
Because those documents were prepared by attorneys and they were designed to protect the interests of the other side. Who is looking out for your interests when you sign something without an attorney's review?
Yes, most of the time you'll be fine without taking your car rental agreement to your lawyer for review. But it would be nice to know if you should accept the collision damage waiver, right? When I skim these things, at least I have the benefit of knowing what they mean!
And no, the exterminator will not be happy with you if you don't sign the standard service form. But what happens when someone visiting your office gets sick from the formaldehyde in the bug spray and, by signing that form, you have waived all liability and indemnified the pest control company?
Bottom line: If a lawyer wrote it, your corporate lawyer should review it BEFORE you sign it.

Aalto, (Hugo) Alvar
Göran Schildt
(Henrik)
(b Kuortane, Feb 3, 1898; d Helsinki, May 11, 1976).
Finnish architect and designer, active also in America. His success as an architect lay in the individual nature of his buildings, which were always designed with their surrounding environment in mind and with great attention to their practical demands. He never used forms that were merely aesthetic or conditioned by technical factors but looked to the more permanent models of nature and natural forms. He was not anti-technology but believed that technology could be humanized to become the servant of human beings and the promoter of cultural values. One of his important maxims was that architects have an absolutely clear mission: to humanize mechanical forms.
His father was a government surveyor working in the lake district of central Finland and became a counterforce to his son's strong artistic calling. Instead of becoming a painter, which tempted him for a long time, Alvar chose the career of architect as a possible compromise. He never became a planner dominated by technological thinking, however, but always gave his creations an artistic, humanistic character. He studied at the Technical College in Helsinki (...
Abbey, Edwin Austin
Pamela H. Simpson
(b Philadelphia, PA, April 1, 1852; d London, Aug 1, 1911).
American painter, illustrator, and muralist, active also in England. Abbey began his art studies at the age of 14 in his native Philadelphia where he worked with Isaac L. Williams (1817–95). Two years later he enrolled in night classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art working under Christian Schussele (1824–1979), but by then Abbey was already a published illustrator. In the 1870s his drawings appeared in numerous publications, but it was his work for Harper & Brothers that proved most important to his career. In 1871 he moved to New York, and in 1878, Harper's sent him on a research trip to England. He found such affinity with the country that he made it his home for the rest of his life. After 1889 he devoted more time to painting, was elected a Royal Academician in 1898, and in 1902 was chosen by Edward VII (...
Abdul, Lida
Sarah Urist Green
(b Kabul, June 5, 1973).
Afghan video and performance artist and photographer, active also in the USA. After fleeing Soviet-occupied Kabul with her family in the late 1980s, Abdul lived as a refugee in Germany and India before moving to Southern California. She received a BA in Political Science and Philosophy at California State University, Fullerton, and an MFA at the University of California, Irvine, in 2000. Abdul first returned to a post-Taliban Afghanistan in 2001, where she encountered a place and people transformed by decades of violence and unrest. Since that time, Abdul has made work in Kabul and Los Angeles, staging herself in performances and creating performance-based video works and photography that explore ideas of home and the interconnection between architecture and identity.
Beginning in the late 1990s, Abdul made emotionally intense performance art informed by that of Yugoslavian artist Marina Abramović and Cuban-born American artist Ana Mendieta. At the time unable to travel to Afghanistan, Abdul created and documented performances in Los Angeles that probed her position as Afghan, female, Muslim, a refugee and a transnational artist. In ...

Mary Christian
(b Orange, NJ, May 8, 1937).
American photographer. After teaching English literature for several years, Adams turned to photography in the late 1960s, studying with Minor White. In his black-and-white photographs of the American West, such as his series From the Missouri West (1980), he emphasized man's presence in nature and the tension between the beauty of the landscape and man's effect upon it. His landscapes include such features as telephone poles and wires, mountains edged by highway guard-rails, parking lots and housing complexes. In 1975 Adams took part in the group exhibition New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-altered Landscape (see New Topographics). As a photographer and an articulate writer on photography, he has published Summer Nights (1985) and important essays on 19th- and 20th-century photography.

(b Stadtlengsfeld, nr Eisenach, July 3, 1844; d Chicago, April 16, 1900).
American architect and engineer of German birth. His family moved to the USA in 1854, and he trained in Detroit, in the architectural offices of John Schaefer, E. Willard Smith and others. After his family moved from Detroit to Chicago, Adler worked under a German émigré architect, Augustus Bauer (1827–94), and gained valuable training in an engineering company during his military service in the American Civil War. After the war, he worked with O. S. Kinney (d 1868), and later Ashley Kinney, building educational and civic structures in the Midwest. Adler's ability soon brought him to the attention of an established practitioner, Edward Burling (1818–92), who needed assistance in the aftermath of the Chicago fire of 1871. Burling & Adler's many buildings include the First National Bank (1871) and Mercantile (1873) buildings and the Methodist Church Block (1872), all designed in Chicago by Adler and all demolished.

Advertising uses visuals (predominantly photographic) and copy (text) to convey an idea or make an affective appeal. Typically, specialists in commercial images are commissioned by companies to produce imagery to a specific brief, including such considerations as image size, media placement, and length of campaign. Until the growth in the 1980s of stock libraries, which offer a wide range of images that are licensed for use, commissioning photography was standard in the advertising industry. The proliferation of digital photography in the early 21st century has also prompted the use of consumer-generated or amateur photography in advertising. Finally, whereas most of the history of advertising has been print-based, digital advertising now appears across an array of platforms.
As a commercial practice, advertising photography is client-driven; awards for creativity inevitably go to the whole creative team of an advertising agency and not just to the photographer. Nevertheless, influential photographers have emerged from this commercial realm. Advertising is practised around the globe, but its photographic history centres on London, New York, and Paris where agencies such as J. Walter Thompson, Reynell & Son (now part of TMP Worldwide), and Publicis were established early in the 20th century....
Term used to describe a movement of the 1870s and 1880s that manifested itself in the fine and decorative arts and architecture in Britain and subsequently in the USA. Reacting to what was seen as evidence of philistinism in art and design, it was characterized by the cult of the beautiful and an emphasis on the sheer pleasure to be derived from it. In painting there was a belief in the autonomy of art, the concept of Art for Art's Sake, which originated in France as a literary movement and was introduced into Britain around 1860.
The Aesthetic Movement was championed by the writers and critics Walter Pater, Algernon Charles Swinburne and Oscar Wilde. In keeping with Pater's theories, the artists associated with it painted pictures without narrative or significant subject-matter. Dante Gabriel Rossetti took his inspiration from Venetian art because of its emphasis on colour and the decorative. This resulted in a number of half-length paintings of female figures, such as the ...
Aesthetic Movement in America
Isabel L. Taube
Late 19th-century movement in the arts and literature characterized by the pursuit and veneration of beauty and the fostering of close relationships among the fine and applied arts. According to its major proponents, beauty was found in imaginative creations that harmonized colours, forms, and patterns derived from Western and non-Western cultures as well as motifs from nature. The Aesthetic Movement gained momentum in England in the 1850s, achieved widespread popularity in England and the USA by the 1870s, and declined by the 1890s.
The principal ideologies and practices of British Aestheticism came to the USA through both educational and commercial channels. As early as 1873, the Scottish stained-glass designer, decorator, and art dealer Daniel Cottier opened a branch of his interior design shop in New York and played a significant role in introducing aesthetic taste and artefacts to Americans. The Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876, with its extensive display of industrial and decorative arts, showcased British Aestheticism and the Japanese ceramics that influenced it. British art magazines and books, especially Charles Locke Eastlake's ...
Affleck, Thomas
Oscar P. Fitzgerald
(b Aberdeen, 1740; d Philadelphia, PA, March 5, 1795).
American cabinetmaker of Scottish birth. He trained as a cabinetmaker in Edinburgh and London. In 1763 he arrived in Philadelphia on the same boat as John Penn, the new Governor of Pennsylvania and a future client, to join Quaker friends. He opened a shop on Union Street and eventually moved to Second Street in the Society Hill area. He made stylish mahogany furniture (sold 1788; e.g. Philadelphia, PA, Cliveden Mus.; armchair, Winterthur, DE, Mus. & Gdns) for the governor's mansion at Lansdowne, PA, and many of the most prominent families in the city owned his work, including the Mifflins, the Whartons, and the Chew family at Cliveden. The parlour suite he made for John Cadwalader carved by James Reynolds and the firm of Bernard and Jugiez in 1770–71 was among the most elaborate ever produced in the colonies (pole screen, Philadelphia, PA, Mus. A.).
A Quaker and Loyalist, Affleck refused to participate in the Revolution (...

Group of African American artists active in France in the 1920s and 1930s. Between the world wars Paris became a Mecca for a "lost generation" of Americans. Hundreds of artists, musicians, and writers from all over the world flocked to the French capital in search of a sense of community and freedom to be creative. For African Americans, the lure of Paris was enhanced by fear of and disgust with widespread racial discrimination experienced in the United States. They sought a more nurturing environment where their work would receive serious attention, as well as the chance to study many of the world's greatest cultural achievements. France offered this along with an active black diasporal community with a growing sense of Pan-Africanism. Painters, sculptors, and printmakers thrived there, studying at the finest art academies, exhibiting at respected salons, winning awards, seeing choice art collections, mingling with people of diverse ethnic origins, dancing to jazz, and fervently discussing art, race, literature, philosophy, and politics. Although their individual experiences differed widely, they had much in common, including exposure to traditional European art, African art, modern art, and proto-Negritude ideas. As a result of their stay in Paris, all were affected artistically, socially, and politically in positive ways and most went on to have distinguished careers....

Complex of buildings, runways, and service facilities for handling the arrival and departure of aircraft and their passengers and freight. Early airports amounted to little more than an open field, where the only architectural features were spectator boxes, some inspired by horse racetracks. Right after World War I, however, the jump-start of air transport activities, notably in major European capital cities, prompted operators to devise new ways of making flight attractive. Well-to-do passengers required better amenities than a waiting room next to a fuel depot, and the easing of wartime rationing on construction supplies meant that steel and cement could replace wood and allow for full-scale airfield design.
In Europe, where the world's first international air service (London–Paris) was inaugurated in 1919, air transport was embraced as a prestigious form of travel, and the design of airports for capital cities was considered an expression of national pride. Several European airports can claim pioneering status as full architectural works. At Le Bourget, north of Paris, a set of buildings went up in ...
Aitken, William Maxwell, 1st Baron Beaverbrook
Ian G. Lumsden
(b Maple, Ont., May 25, 1879; d Cherkley, nr Leatherhead, June 9, 1964).
British publisher, financier, politician, collector and patron, of Canadian birth. As Minister of Information during World War I, he was responsible for the War Records Office in London, through which Wyndham Lewis, Muirhead Bone, William Orpen, Christopher Nevinson, Augustus John and six Canadian artists, J. W. Beatty (1869–1941), Maurice Cullen, C. W. Simpson (1878–1942), Fred Varley, David Milne and A. Y. Jackson, received commissions to record Canada's military contribution to the war effort. The Canadian War Memorials were deposited at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, in 1921, and since then all but the major canvases have been transferred to the Canadian War Museum, also in Ottawa.
Beaverbrook was instrumental in developing the National Gallery of Canada's collection of historical pictures; he was directly responsible for the gift of Benjamin West's The Death of Wolfe by the Duke of Westminster in 1918, and the acquisition of ...

Nicholas Fox Weber
American artists of German birth.
(b Bottrop, Ruhr, March 19, 1888; d New Haven, CT, March 25, 1976).
Painter, printmaker, sculptor, designer, writer and teacher. He worked from 1908 to 1913 as a schoolteacher in Bottrop and from 1913 to 1915 trained as an art teacher at the Königliche Kunstschule in Berlin, where he was exposed to many current art movements and to the work of such Old Masters as Dürer and Holbein. His figurative drawings of the next few years, which he kept hidden and which were discovered only after his death (many now in Orange, CT, Albers Found.), show that he applied these influences to his consistent concern with the simplest and most effective means of communicating his subject; he drew rabbits, schoolgirls and the local landscape in as dispassionate and impersonal a manner as possible. After his studies in Berlin he returned to Bottrop and from ...
Ali, Laylah
Nizan Shaked
(b Buffalo, NY, May 9, 1968).
American painter and draftsman. She studied English and Studio Art at Williams College, Williamstown, MA, graduating with a BA in 1991. Shortly thereafter, she attended the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, New York, and completed her MFA in 1994 at Washington University, St Louis. Ali became known for her painting series Greenheads, in which round-headed characters perform choreographed activities against flat, light-blue backgrounds. These cartoon-styled allegories of American history and culture examine the sublimated or overt aggression inherent in activities such as team sports, ceremonies, military training, court marshaling and lynching. Referencing folk art or hieroglyphs, Untitled (Greenheads) (gouache on paper, 1998) depicts a sequence of disputes between uniformed characters and injured figures in athletic apparel. As with most of Ali's oeuvre, the gestures and expressions of the figures communicate a sense of violent intensity, while the exact nature of the interaction remains enigmatic. Addressing the power dynamics of race, religion and gender, her scenarios respond to personal experience as well as local or world events, yet do not serve to represent them directly. Correspondingly, the single figures that appear in her later drawings and paintings display what initially seem to be specific ethnic tributes or dress codes, subsequently revealed to be invented and constructed by Ali. As it remains up to the viewer to interpret who these characters are or what may distinguish them as individuals, the perspective and biases of the viewer become part of the artwork's meaning. The young, green-faced character in ...
Allston, Washington
(b Waccamaw, SC, Nov 5, 1779; d Cambridgeport, MA, July 9, 1843).
American painter. The son of a prominent South Carolina plantation owner of English descent, he began to draw around the age of six, and he moved to his uncle's home in Newport, RI, at the age of eight. While there he came into contact with the portrait painter Samuel King, but it was the exhibited portraits of Robert Edge Pine that offered him inspiring models of glazing and colouring. Dubbed 'the Count' by his Harvard College classmates for his way with fashion, Allston explored alternatives to the portrait tradition with landscapes, as well as with depictions of irrational figures, for example Man in Chains (1800; Andover, MA, Phillips Acad., Addison Gal.). After graduating in 1800, he sold his patrimony to fund study abroad.
In 1801 Allston went with Edward Greene Malbone to London, where he frequented the circle of Benjamin West and studied drawing at the Royal Academy. In late ...
Amelung, John Frederick
Ellen Paul Denker
[Johann Friedrich]
(b Hettlingen, nr Hannover, Germany, June 26, 1741; d Baltimore, MD, Nov 1, 1798).
American glass manufacturer of German birth. He was associated with his brother's mirror-glass factory in the town of Grünenplan before his venture to make table wares and utility glass in America began in 1784. With backing from investors in Bremen, Germany, Amelung brought 68 glass craftsmen and furnace equipment to the USA. He purchased an existing glasshouse near Frederick, MD, along with 2100 acres. The factory, which he named the New Bremen Glassmanufactory, had been founded by glassmakers from Henry William Stiegel's defunct operation in Manheim, PA. It was well situated in western Maryland, not far from Baltimore, which offered a fast-growing market. Many settlers in the area were Germans, who were expected to be supportive of the enterprise. During the following decade Amelung built housing for his 400–500 workers. It is believed that he built four glasshouses.
Although Amelung's craftsmen made window glass, bottles and table glass, the most important group of objects associated with the factory are the high-quality, wheel-engraved presentation pieces (e.g. sugar bowl, ...
Amer, Ghada
Chika Okeke-Agulu
(b Cairo, May 22, 1963).
American painter, sculptor, fibre and installation artist of Egyptian birth. Amer, one of the few young artists of African origin to gain prominence in the late 1990s international art scene, studied painting in France at the Villa Arson EPIAR, Nice (MFA, 1989), and the Institut des Hautes Etudes en Art Plastique, Paris (1991). She subsequently moved to New York. She is best known for her canvases in which paint and embroidery are combined to explore themes of love, desire, sexuality, and women's identity in a patriarchal world. Amer's use of Embroidery, historically regarded as a genteel female craft, to create images of women fulfilling their sexual desires without inhibition, recalls the provocations and strategies of 1970s Western feminist art. However, her work also reflects her alarm at the incremental curbing of women's social and political freedoms in her native Egypt following the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, especially after the regime of Gamal Abdel Nasser ended in ...
American Impressionism
Term applied variously to describe a specific style, movement, and artistic affiliation embraced by American artists from about 1885 to 1920. Impressionism began in France in the early 1870s and later spread throughout Europe and the USA. While artists continue to paint in an Impressionist style today, art historians generally use the term American Impressionism to refer to an historical tendency that gained prominence and flourished during the last decades of the 19th century and first decades of the 20th. Impressionism began as a radical reaction to more conservative approaches to painting, and only in the early 20th century did it become a mainstream style in comparison with other developments in modern art. American Impressionism included a diversity of approaches, usually attributed to geographic and regional differences.
Impressionism as an art movement and style began when a group of painters, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Auguste Renoir, became frustrated with the traditional criteria favoured by the official French government-sponsored exhibitions and joined together to organize an independent show of their work in Paris in ...
Ammann, Othmar
Matico Josephson
(Hermann)
(b Schaffenhausen, Switzerland, 1879; d New York, NY, 1965).
American civil engineer of Swiss origin and education. Amman was born in Schaffhausen and educated at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, from which he graduated in 1902. After brief employment in Swiss and German steel and bridge construction firms, his ambition led him to move to the USA in 1904.
Arriving in New York, Ammann quickly found work in the office of consulting engineer Joseph Mayer, for whom he would work for only six months. Between 1904 and 1907, Ammann worked for the Pennsylvania Steel Company, in Harrisburg, and Chicago bridge engineer Ralph Modjeski, before settling in Philadelphia as consultant for the engineering firm of Kunz and Schneider. Ammann's trajectory put him in contact with leading designers of long-span bridges and the most important steel construction problems of his time. At Pennsylvania Steel, Ammann worked on the construction of engineer Gustav Lindenthal's Queensboro Bridge in New York, and his first job for Kunz and Schneider was to study the failure of the Quebec Bridge in ...

'Breaking Bad' star's petition: Bring back our dolls
Gannett Michigan
Toys R Us announced earlier this week that it will pull "Breaking Bad" toys from all its shelves after more than 8,500 people signed an online petition started by an outraged Florida mother.
Now one of the stars of the show, Aaron Paul, is fighting back with a petition of his own.
His petition, at Change.org, states that "Toys R Us is well known around the world for their vast selection of toys for children of all ages, and we do mean ALL ages, that includes the adult collector market. Toys R Us' decision to sell a line of Breaking Bad ACTION FIGURES, complete with a detachable sack of cash and a bag of meth, in an aisle designated for adult collectors ... shows that TRU understands there is more than one group of collectors that regularly come through their doors each day."
It continues: "It is NOT irresponsible to have these in the store. ... That's why I'm calling on Toys R Us to KEEP selling the Breaking Bad action figure collection in their stores and on their website."
As of this morning, 20,000 people had signed on in support.
Earlier this week, Toys R Us used a memorable line in the show to announce the toys would be pulled:
"Let's just say, the action figures have taken an 'indefinite sabbatical,' " it said. The company said it had no further comment.
An upset Paul responded:
That Florida mom is Susan Schrivjer of Ft. Myers, who posted a petition on Change.org last week after she discovered the popular toy chain carried figures from the critically acclaimed AMC series about a cancer-stricken chemistry-teacher-turned-drug-lord (played by Bryan Cranston) working with his former student (played by Paul).
Schrivjer said the adult, dark themes of the show, along with the perceived drug paraphernalia that comes with the toys, is inappropriate for a children's toy store. Toys R Us had previously said the toys were kept in an area for older children, and clearly labeled for those 15 and older.
"Thank you all so much for supporting this and making it happen!" Schrivjer posted after Toys R Us decided to pull the 'Breaking Bad' action figures. "Just rememebr, that if you believe in something, go for it!!! YOU can make it happen!!!!"
Cranston commented on the matter via Twitter.

How To: Conquer the Bar Scene
No date for Valentine's Day? We asked two local experts for advice on how to navigate the Cleveland singles scene with style.
Marcus Sims
Event promoter Frenchye Bush
Fashion consultant
Best local singles spot:
D'Vine Wine Bar. "Lots of seating, fun groups of mixed singles and good drinks."
Happy hour at D'Vine or at XO. "It's a really sexy restaurant with a cool vibe."
How to approach a girl:
Be yourself and make conversation. "Ask for her e-mail instead of her number — it's no-pressure, but you can still leave a note."
"Be yourself, and show interest in what she's saying." Asking for her number is OK. But, ladies, if you don't want him to call you, be honest.
How to approach a guy:
"If you lead with 'Buy me a drink,' I won't talk to you. If we're having good conversation, I'll get you one, but I don't pay to play."
"I still think the guy should approach the girl, but if there's a guy you're interested in, let him know in a tasteful way. ... If you want a cocktail, buy your own."
But don't ever... Use a pick-up line. Forget to do a breath check.
Look your best:
Keep it simple. "I'm a jeans-and-polo-shirt kind of guy. I'm into mixing style and affordability, because it's timeless."
Always look classy. "You can wear a skirt or jeans, but if you're going to dinner, don't show too much skin."
Be sure to avoid ...
Clothes with huge logos, such as Armani Exchange. "There are some girls who love that, but more who don't."
Trying too hard. "Don't stand outside in the cold in a short skirt and tank top. Dress appropriately."
To text or not to text?
"If you text someone, sometimes they can't tell how you meant it. But if you can work it, it's a good thing."
"The initial conversation should be a phone call. Don't ask me to dinner through a text unless we already have a relationship."
Dating advice:
Go for women who have something to bring to the table. Often women in their late 20s and 30s are more independent and aren't just looking for a husband. Don't try! Go out and have fun with your friends. "I met my boyfriend right after college through a friend. When we went on our first date, he was totally himself, and we had so much fun."
A city with style:
Denver. "It's a great city. It's always voted in the top five in The Scene for singles — [it's] a really good scene."
L.A. "They don't try so hard. You can look good in a cute shirt, nice bag, heels and jeans. ... Don't forget the sunglasses."
The Proof is in the Sauce
10.8% of married people met their spouse at the bar.
School was the No. 1 answer with 26.3% of the vote.

Psychobiotics Regulate the Anxiety Symptoms in Carriers of Allele A of IL-1β Gene: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial
Gualtieri, P, Marchetti, M, Cioccoloni, G orcid.org/0000-0003-0102-9182 et al. (6 more authors) (2020) Psychobiotics Regulate the Anxiety Symptoms in Carriers of Allele A of IL-1β Gene: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial. Mediators of Inflammation, 2020. 2346126. ISSN 0962-9351
Background. Probiotic oral intake, via modulation of the microbiota-gut-brain axis, can impact brain activity, mood, and behavior; therefore, it may be beneficial against psychological distress and anxiety disorders. Inflammatory cytokines can influence the onset and progression of several neurodegenerative mood disorders, and the IL-1β rs16944 SNP is related to high cytokine levels and potentially affects mood disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the combined effect of IL-1β polymorphism and probiotic administration in mood disorder phenotypes in the Italian population. Methods. 150 subjects were randomized into two different groups, probiotic oral suspension group (POSG) and placebo control group (PCG), and received the relative treatment for 12 weeks. Psychological profile assessment by Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), Body Uneasiness Test (BUT), and Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL90R) was administered to all volunteers. Genotyping was performed on DNA extracted from salivary samples. Results. After 12 weeks of intervention, a significant reduction of HAM-A total score was detected in the POSG (p < 0.01), compared to the PCG. Furthermore, IL-1β carriers have moderate risk to develop anxiety (OR = 5.90), and in POSG IL-1β carriers, we observed a reduction of HAM-A score (p = 0.02). Conclusions. Consumption of probiotics mitigates anxiety symptoms, especially in healthy adults with the minor A allele of rs16944 as a risk factor. Our results encourage the use of probiotics in anxiety disorders and suggest genetic association studies for psychobiotic-personalized therapy.
