MSDH: "We have no additional vaccine" as appointments fill up
Photo courtesy of OCH Regional Medical Center
Just one day after it was announced that those over the age of 65 and those with underlying health conditions were eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, there are no more available appointments.
In a news release, the Mississippi State Department of Health stated that "at this time, we have no additional vaccine, and every appointment is tied to an actual vaccination." The release goes on to say that MSDH is expecting a "large shipment" of vaccine in mid-February and that additional appointments will be opened up as more doses arrive.
"Mississippians should understand that we can only vaccinate residents based on vaccine availability. We will open additional vaccination appointments as we receive more vaccine. In the meantime, all Mississippians – whether vaccinated or not – should continue to follow protective guidelines. Especially avoid any social gatherings. And always wear a mask," the MSDH said.
To date, just over 66,000 Mississippians have received at least their first dose of the vaccine.
The post MSDH: "We have no additional vaccine" as appointments fill up appeared first on News Mississippi.

Hierarchical Clustering with Python and Scikit-Learn
By Usman Malik • July 12, 2018 • 0 Comments
Hierarchical clustering is a type of unsupervised machine learning algorithm used to cluster unlabeled data points. Like K-means clustering, hierarchical clustering also groups together the data points with similar characteristics. In some cases the result of hierarchical and K-Means clustering can be similar. Before implementing hierarchical clustering using Scikit-Learn, let's first understand the theory behind hierarchical clustering.
Theory of Hierarchical Clustering
There are two types of hierarchical clustering: Agglomerative and Divisive. In the former, data points are clustered using a bottom-up approach starting with individual data points, while in the latter top-down approach is followed where all the data points are treated as one big cluster and the clustering process involves dividing the one big cluster into several small clusters.
In this article we will focus on agglomerative clustering that involves the bottom-up approach.
Steps to Perform Hierarchical Clustering
Following are the steps involved in agglomerative clustering:
At the start, treat each data point as one cluster. Therefore, the number of clusters at the start will be K, while K is an integer representing the number of data points.
Form a cluster by joining the two closest data points resulting in K-1 clusters.
Form more clusters by joining the two closest clusters resulting in K-2 clusters.
Repeat the above three steps until one big cluster is formed.
Once single cluster is formed, dendrograms are used to divide into multiple clusters depending upon the problem. We will study the concept of dendrogram in detail in an upcoming section.
There are different ways to find distance between the clusters. The distance itself can be Euclidean or Manhattan distance. Following are some of the options to measure distance between two clusters:
Measure the distance between the closes points of two clusters.
Measure the distance between the farthest points of two clusters.
Measure the distance between the centroids of two clusters.
Measure the distance between all possible combination of points between the two clusters and take the mean.
Role of Dendrograms for Hierarchical Clustering
In the last section, we said that once one large cluster is formed by the combination of small clusters, dendrograms of the cluster are used to actually split the cluster into multiple clusters of related data points. Let's see how it's actually done.
Suppose we have a collection of data points represented by a numpy array as follows:
X = np.array([[5,3],
[10,15],
[80,91],])
Let's plot the above data points. To do so, execute the following code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
labels = range(1, 11)
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 7))
plt.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.1)
plt.scatter(X[:,0],X[:,1], label='True Position')
for label, x, y in zip(labels, X[:, 0], X[:, 1]):
plt.annotate(
xy=(x, y), xytext=(-3, 3),
textcoords='offset points', ha='right', va='bottom')
plt.show()
The script above draws the data points in the X numpy array and label data points from 1 to 10. In the image below you'll see that the plot that is generated from this code:
Let's name the above plot as Graph1. It can be seen from the naked eye that the data points form two clusters: first at the bottom left consisting of points 1-5 while second at the top right consisting of points 6-10.
However, in the real world, we may have thousands of data points in many more than 2 dimensions. In that case it would not be possible to spot clusters with the naked eye. This is why clustering algorithms have been developed.
Coming back to use of dendrograms in hierarchical clustering, let's draw the dendrograms for our data points. We will use the scipy library for that purpose. Execute the following script:
from scipy.cluster.hierarchy import dendrogram, linkage
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
linked = linkage(X, 'single')
labelList = range(1, 11)
dendrogram(linked,
orientation='top',
labels=labelList,
distance_sort='descending',
show_leaf_counts=True)
The output graph looks like the one below. Let's name this plot Graph2.
The algorithm starts by finding the two points that are closest to each other on the basis of Euclidean distance. If we look back at Graph1, we can see that points 2 and 3 are closest to each other while points 7 and 8 are closes to each other. Therefore a cluster will be formed between these two points first. In Graph2, you can see that the dendograms have been created joining points 2 with 3, and 8 with 7. The vertical height of the dendogram shows the Euclidean distances between points. From Graph2, it can be seen that Euclidean distance between points 8 and 7 is greater than the distance between point 2 and 3.
The next step is to join the cluster formed by joining two points to the next nearest cluster or point which in turn results in another cluster. If you look at Graph1, point 4 is closest to cluster of point 2 and 3, therefore in Graph2 dendrogram is generated by joining point 4 with dendrogram of point 2 and 3. This process continues until all the points are joined together to form one big cluster.
Once one big cluster is formed, the longest vertical distance without any horizontal line passing through it is selected and a horizontal line is drawn through it. The number of vertical lines this newly created horizontal line passes is equal to number of clusters. Take a look at the following plot:
We can see that the largest vertical distance without any horizontal line passing through it is represented by blue line. So we draw a new horizontal red line that passes through the blue line. Since it crosses the blue line at two points, therefore the number of clusters will be 2.
Basically the horizontal line is a threshold, which defines the minimum distance required to be a separate cluster. If we draw a line further down, the threshold required to be a new cluster will be decreased and more clusters will be formed as see in the image below:
In the above plot, the horizontal line passes through four vertical lines resulting in four clusters: cluster of points 6,7,8 and 10, cluster of points 3,2,4 and points 9 and 5 will be treated as single point clusters.
Hierarchical Clustering via Scikit-Learn
Enough of the theory, now let's implement hierarchical clustering using Python's Scikit-Learn library.
In our first example we will cluster the X numpy array of data points that we created in the previous section.
The process of clustering is similar to any other unsupervised machine learning algorithm. We start by importing the required libraries:
%matplotlib inline
The next step is to import or create the dataset. In this example, we'll use the following example data:
The next step is to import the class for clustering and call its fit_predict method to predict the clusters that each data point belongs to.
Take a look at the following script:
from sklearn.cluster import AgglomerativeClustering
cluster = AgglomerativeClustering(n_clusters=2, affinity='euclidean', linkage='ward')
cluster.fit_predict(X)
In the code above we import the AgglomerativeClustering class from the "sklearn.cluster" library. The number of parameters is set to 2 using the n_clusters parameter while the affinity is set to "euclidean" (distance between the datapoints). Finally linkage parameter is set to "ward", which minimizes the variant between the clusters.
Next we call the fit_predict method from the AgglomerativeClustering class variable cluster. This method returns the names of the clusters that each data point belongs to. Execute the following script to see how the data points have been clustered.
print(cluster.labels_)
The output is a one-dimensional array of 10 elements corresponding to the clusters assigned to our 10 data points.
[1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0]
As expected the first five points have been clustered together while the last five points have been clustered together. It is important to mention here that these ones and zeros are merely labels assigned to the clusters and have no mathematical implications.
Finally, let's plot our clusters. To do so, execute the following code:
plt.scatter(X[:,0],X[:,1], c=cluster.labels_, cmap='rainbow')
You can see points in two clusters where the first five points clustered together and the last five points clustered together.
In the last section we performed hierarchical clustering on dummy data. In this example, we will perform hierarchical clustering on real-world data and see how it can be used to solve an actual problem.
The problem that we are going to solve in this section is to segment customers into different groups based on their shopping trends.
The dataset for this problem can be downloaded from the following link:
shopping-data.csv
Place the downloaded "shopping-data.csv" file into the "Datasets" folder of the "D" directory. To cluster this data into groups we will follow the same steps that we performed in the previous section.
Execute the following script to import the desired libraries:
Next, to import the dataset for this example, run the following code:
customer_data = pd.read_csv('D:\Datasets\shopping-data.csv')
Let's explore our dataset a bit. To check the number of records and attributes, execute the following script:
customer_data.shape
The script above will return (200, 5) which means that the dataset contains 200 records and 5 attributes.
To eyeball the dataset, execute the head() function of the data frame. Take a look at the following script:
customer_data.head()
The output will look like this:
CustomerID
Annual Income (k$)
Spending Score (1-100)
0 1 Male 19 15 39
2 3 Female 20 16 6
3 4 Female 23 16 77
Our dataset has five columns: CustomerID, Genre, Age, Annual Income, and Spending Score. To view the results in two-dimensional feature space, we will retain only two of these five columns. We can remove CustomerID column, Genre, and Age column. We will retain the Annual Income (in thousands of dollars) and Spending Score (1-100) columns. The Spending Score column signifies how often a person spends money in a mall on a scale of 1 to 100 with 100 being the highest spender. Execute the following script to filter the first three columns from our dataset:
data = customer_data.iloc[:, 3:5].values
Next, we need to know the clusters that we want our data to be split to. We will again use the scipy library to create the dendrograms for our dataset. Execute the following script to do so:
import scipy.cluster.hierarchy as shc
plt.title("Customer Dendograms")
dend = shc.dendrogram(shc.linkage(data, method='ward'))
In the script above we import the hierarchy class of the scipy.cluster library as shc. The hierarchy class has a dendrogram method which takes the value returned by the linkage method of the same class. The linkage method takes the dataset and the method to minimize distances as parameters. We use 'ward' as the method since it minimizes then variants of distances between the clusters.
The output of the script above looks like this:
If we draw a horizontal line that passes through longest distance without a horizontal line, we get 5 clusters as shown in the following figure:
Now we know the number of clusters for our dataset, the next step is to group the data points into these five clusters. To do so we will again use the AgglomerativeClustering class of the sklearn.cluster library. Take a look at the following script:
cluster.fit_predict(data)
array([4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4,
3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 1, 4, 1,
0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2], dtype=int64)
You can see the cluster labels from all of your data points. Since we had five clusters, we have five labels in the output i.e. 0 to 4.
As a final step, let's plot the clusters to see how actually our data has been clustered:
plt.scatter(data[:,0], data[:,1], c=cluster.labels_, cmap='rainbow')
The output of the code above looks like this:
You can see the data points in the form of five clusters. The data points in the bottom right belong to the customers with high salaries but low spending. These are the customers that spend their money carefully. Similarly, the customers at top right (green data points), these are the customers with high salaries and high spending. These are the type of customers that companies target. The customers in the middle (blue data points) are the ones with average income and average salaries. The highest numbers of customers belong to this category. Companies can also target these customers given the fact that they are in huge numbers, etc.
Between all of the different Python packages (pandas, matplotlib, numpy, and sklearn) there is a lot of info in this article that might be hard to follow, and for that reason we recommend checking out some more detailed resources on doing data science tasks with Python, such as an online course:
Data Science in Python, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Numpy, Matplotlib
Python for Data Science and Machine Learning Bootcamp
Machine Learning A-Z: Hands-On Python & R In Data Science
We've found that these resources are good enough that you'll come away with a solid understanding of how to use them in your own work.
The clustering technique can be very handy when it comes to unlabeled data. Since most of the data in the real-world is unlabeled and annotating the data has higher costs, clustering techniques can be used to label unlabeled data.
In this article we explained hierarchical clustering with help of two examples. For more machine learning and data science articles, keep visiting this site. Happy Coding!

Avi talked about representing a client named Edgar at a re-sentencing hearing after he had been previously sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for a murder conviction he suffered at 17 years old. Sajid shared portions of his recent closing argument at a transfer hearing where he advocated for his client, just 16 at the time of an accused murder, to remain in juvenile court rather than being prosecuted as an adult.
We then took several questions from the students about life as a #publicdefender, including representing guilty people, our definitions and conceptions of justice, dealing w/ prosecutors and why we chose this career:

From the hills of central Italy to the mountains of Pocahontas County, Alpine Ristorante brings hearty eats to hardy skiers.
When Bill Treadway and Tom Greene, co-owners of the popular Snowshoe steakhouse South Mountain Grille, began thinking of opening a second restaurant, they took a look around the wintertime destination's dining scene and realized something was missing. There was no place where hungry skiers could tuck into a big plate of shrimp scampi or veal marsala.
But Treadway and Greene did not want to open an American-style Italian place, with red sauce and checkered tablecloths. "We didn't want the focus to be on unlimited breadsticks and pasta. We wanted to focus on steaks and seafoods," Treadway says. They wanted to open a Tuscan-style restaurant. "Tuscan food is hallmarked by fresh ingredients and simple preparation," he says.
They began working to open the new restaurant, dubbed Alpine Ristorante, in the former home of Snowshoe's long-closed fine dining establishment Red Fox. They also started looking for a chef with some experience in Italian cuisine. The hunt didn't take long.
Shuttleworth unveiled several new dishes when the restaurant opened for the 2016-2017 winter season on December 9, including an Italian take on the southern classic shrimp and grits. The dish features North Carolina jumbo shrimp, prosciutto ham, peppers, onions, gorgonzola cheese, and, instead of grits, Shuttleworth uses polenta. "We did it as a special last year and every time we did, it sold very, very well," he says.
Also debuting this season is Alpine's veal carbonara, which features veal sauteed with prosciutto and peas in a light cream sauce. And diners are sure to love the brand-new Crab Cake Italiano made with fresh lump crab, goat cheese, sauteed spinach, and sundried tomatoes, "just to give it that Italian aspect," Shuttleworth says.
Not everything on the menu changes year to year, however. "There are a few items we keep on our menu because they're the things people keeping coming back for," Shuttleworth says. That includes dishes like Alpine's lasagna. The dish begins with a house-made bolognese sauce, made of ground pork, beef, veal, garlic, onions, and San Marzano tomatoes. The sauce is then layered with pasta and six different cheeses: mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, ricotta, romano, and asiago. "It's just a great hearty winter dish," Shuttleworth says.
Treadway says he only has one problem with his and Greene's newest venture—everything is so good, he has a hard time deciding what to order. "I think my favorite thing is the specials. You never know what Chef Ed is going to do," he says.
The restaurant will remain open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. until the slopes close at Snowshoe, tentatively scheduled for the last week of March depending on weather conditions.
After the snow season, the restaurant is also open Thursday through Sunday between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day, with a menu that features lighter dishes and smaller portions.


Being approachable is an underrated quality to have as an IT professional. it may depend on your role, but many IT professionals are relied upon for advice and help with tasks. This could be from people working under you, your peers, your manager or all other kinds of coworkers. Learning to become more approachable will make you seem more professional, get more respect from other people, and will be looked on favourably by your boss. Let's take a look at some ways that you can become more approachable.
You might like to listen to music throughout your work day. I can understand this, sometimes whenever I need to do some work (or when I write these posts), I like to put music on. It helps me concentrate and block out distractions.
However, having headphones in is a good way to deter other people from approaching you. It makes you look like you don't want to be disturbed. Have you ever tried to approach someone who had headphones on? Did you decide not to? Or did you approach them and feel bad for interrupting their music? Even if you didn't, it's this kind of doubt and questioning that we're looking to avoid.
I recommend not listening to music or wearing headphones at work, and this is one of the reasons why.
Body language is a big part of how people perceive you. You can become more approachable by the way you conduct yourself.
If you sit down mostly in your job, then try to sit straight, in a comfortable position, and seem interested in your work. If your body language makes you seem tired, or frustrated, other people will notice this and will be hesitant to approach you. Remaining in a calm and comfortable position is a great way to improve this.
If you stand for a lot of your job, also try to remain calm and comfortable. Don't come off as frustrated, or rushed, or annoyed – these are all traits that can be reflected in your body language and will make you seem less approachable at work.
A big way to become more approachable is being positive. When you're at your desk, walking around, or just around the office in general, it's helpful to stay positive. Positive people are easier to approach, which helps out your team and makes you look good to your boss. Your boss wants to see his team do well, and if you're helping others out, then it's a big part of that.
Being positive is a great way to be more approachable. If you're negative – frustrated, annoyed, tired, angry, anything else – it can seem more threatening, people won't want to approach you, and it gives of bad vibes about you to others. This will hurt your chances of a pay rise and promotion!
Yes, even though I've mentioned three, I thought I'd throw in a bonus tip as well!
It might seem counter productive, but answering your phone can make you seem more approachable. There are always people in the office that don't pick up their calls, or screen their calls, or just don't use their phone. The phone is an important part of the business and should be used well.
Answering your phone all the time makes you seem approachable as you're not avoiding anyone and are happy to talk to whoever is calling. This will translate this attitude into those who are around you, who will realise that you're happy to talk to people, even if it's interrupting your work.

The welfare and prosperity are a great vision of Indonesian nation. One of strategies that have been taken by the government is to maximize the forest and land assets for the greatest prosperity of the people economically. But in one side, the unilaterally mastery that played by the country have many advantages for private groups and disadvantages for the village community. People want agrarian reform and redistribution assets as key policyto ensure the sustainability of village livelihoods. Unfortunately, the government was never realization of the policy completely. Currently, the innovation and emancipation local movement has been growing to develop the local resources as a response to the government's slowness to create national asset utilization policies that ensure the welfare of the village community. So, it is the time for the government to recognize the villages as the identity of the nations that whose ability to manage the natural resourcescan be accounted, even though the recognition is in theform of the delegation of local scale authority from the supra government of village to the village.The welfare and prosperity are a great vision of Indonesian nation.

Q: Simplest circuit for several hundred volts from 5v I am trying to make a simple camera flash circuit for a project, but I am really having a hard time. I can't seem to find a simple circuit anywhere. It doesn't need to maintain the high voltage under load, it just needs to charge a capacitor. I'm a journeyman electrician, but kind of a noob when it comes to electronics.
I built one using a 555 chip, but it could only output about 60 volts. I need about 200-300v. I feel like it can be a lot simpler too. I would appreciate some advice on what approach to use. I took apart a few cameras and they looked pretty simple with some tiny transformers and crystal oscillators, but I don't know the specs or what ones to buy. Maybe you could advise me on what a mini transformer or inductor is called and how to spec them for a circuit.
Thanks guys.

This month we said a sad farewell to Marion who has been the Changing Places Development Officer since February. We have a new Officer due to start in the New Year and look forward to introducing them to everyone!
Big news this month was the confirmation that our co-chairs, Muscular Dystrophy UK, will be working with the Department for Transport to allocate £2 million of funding to install Changing Places toilets at motoway service stations. We hope to announce details of the application process by April 2019.
We have also been meeting with representatives at the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government and held a joint APPG between Disability Rights UK and Trailblazers.
Sadly, the second reading of Paula Sherriff's Changing Places Bill has been delayed until the 25th January. We hope that many MP's will show their support and help push forward these much needed changes to legislation.
We would like to say a big thank you, as always, to all of our campaigners!

That is, so long as you don�t ignore the outside world, like the Twitter CEO who blithely tweeted from a meditation retreat in Myanmar, says Holly Rigby, a teacher and union activist... If the only internet providers in your area are the likes of Comcast, Cox, etc. then you need to be a little more creative to get a good deal. Ideally, there is more than one provider in your area. If this is the case and you can get a no term contract deal at a good price, then grab it. Otherwise, follow these guidelines.
The best way to pick a social news site is to find one that matches your interests and has a look and feel that you are comfortable using. Each of the sites mentioned in this article are general social news sites, which means they cover a large variety of topics.
It�s critical to get as many positive reviews on the bigger review sites such as Yelp, Google Plus, Dex and any relevant industry review sites. Eg. if you�re a restaurant, you better have some solid reviews on sites like Yelp and Urbanspoon.

Parliament yesterday unanimously approved the abolition and creation of Government ministries and departments recently established by President Michael Sata.
Vice- President, Guy Scott said the President had constitutional powers to realign Government ministries and departments to make them more effective.
Ministry of Education, Science and Vocational Training now becomes Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education.
The other ministry created are the Ministry of Lands, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection. It was previously called Lands, Energy, and Water Development.
Ministry of Mines and Natural Resources is now called the Ministry of Mines, Energy and Water Development.
The Ministry of Local Government, Housing, Early Education and Environmental Protection has been changed to Ministry of Local Government and Housing.
Supporting the motion, leader of the opposition, Felix Mutati (MMD) said the decision by President Sata to abolish and establish the Government ministries and departments would foster efficiency in the civil service.
Create a Ministry of Tourism, Game Parks and Wildlife. In East Africa Tourism is a major forex earner ans as such it is a separate Ministry.
I think the Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education should just be called Ministry of Education..we could save some government ink and stationary on letter heads.Ministry of mines,water energy…there will be a conflict of interest there as some blogger last week put it.Local government and housing….isn't local govt responsible for housing ordinarily?Don't councils fall under local govt and doesnt the council collect rates for houses and busineses.Hello?

JERUSALEM – Israel acknowledged Thursday it killed Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's deputy in a 1988 raid in Tunisia, lifting a nearly 25-year veil of secrecy and allowing a rare glimpse into the shadowy world of its secret operations.
One of the commandos was disguised as a woman on a romantic vacation, and one of the weapons was hidden in a box of chocolates.
Khalil al-Wazir, who was better known by his nom de guerre Abu Jihad, founded Fatah, the dominant faction in the Palestinian Liberation Organization, with Arafat and was blamed for a series of deadly attacks against Israelis.
Two of those involved in the operation that killed al-Wazir now hold high political office in Israel — Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon. At the time, Barak was deputy military chief, and Yaalon was head of the elite commando unit Sayeret Matkal. Their precise roles in the operation were not divulged, and both men's offices declined comment.
Israel has long been suspected of assassinating al-Wazir. But only now has the country's military censor cleared the Yediot Ahronot daily to publish the information, including an interview with the commando who killed him, at least 12 years after the newspaper obtained the information.
"I shot him with a long burst of fire. I was careful not to hurt his wife, who had showed up there. He died," commando Nahum Lev told Yediot prior to his death in a motorcycle accident in 2000. "Abu Jihad was involved in horrible acts against civilians. He was a dead man walking. I shot him without hesitation."
Dozens of similar operations have been attributed to Israel over the decades. But Israel rarely takes responsibility and typically does not comment about covert operations.
Israeli officials did not openly confirm the operation. But the censor's decision to allow publication, after years of stifling the account, amounted in effect to confirmation.
The military censor's main task is to block publication of material deemed a threat to national security. Israel has a longstanding policy of preventing publication of any information that would expose agents, tactics and intelligence gathering methods or put anyone still alive who was involved in harm's way.
In the al-Wazir case, though, it appears that after years of rumors and foreign reports claiming to expose the operation, along with the death of the triggerman, the censor's office decided to drop its objection to publication. Many of the details and identities of those involved still remain classified.
The Yediot report, coupled with a more detailed account in the military affairs magazine Israel Defense, described a well-planned operation months in the making.
According to the Yediot report, the operation was a joint effort by the Mossad secret service and the Sayeret Matkal.
At the time of the raid, the Palestine Liberation Organization, headed by Arafat, was based in the North African nation of Tunisia.
From a command post on an Israeli boat in the Mediterranean Sea, 26 Israeli commandos reached the Tunisia's shores on rubber boats.
Lev, the commando, approached Abu Jihad's home in the capital, Tunis, with another soldier, a man dressed as a woman. The two pretended to be a vacationing couple, with Lev carrying what appeared to be a large box of chocolates. Inside the box, however, was a gun fitted with a silencer.
According to Israel Defense, the fighter dressed as a woman carried a map and distracted the bodyguard by asking for directions, which allowed Lev to shoot him dead. Israel had tested the disguise earlier at an Israeli mall, and after the "women" received random cat calls the outfit was deemed sufficient, it said.
Another team killed a separate bodyguard and a gardener before entering the expansive villa. Lev's partner was the first to fire at the Palestinian leader. When Lev noticed al-Wazir reaching for a weapon, he shot and killed him.
Other participants then "verified the kill" by shooting the body several more times before the forces retreated to sea and back to Israel, the Yediot report said.
"I felt bad about the gardener," Lev told Yediot. "But in an operation such as this you have to make sure that any potential resistance is neutralized."
The Palestinians have long accused Israel of being behind the assassination.
Abbas Zaki, a top official in Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement, said the Palestinians and Tunisia should now "work to bring Israel to justice."
Zaki said the Palestinians hope their bid to gain upgraded observer status at the United Nations next month will enable them to join the International Criminal Court where they can "pursue Israel for its crimes against our people."
Al-Wazir's son, Jihad al-Wazir, who currently heads the Palestinian central bank, said the family had no comment.
On the surface, Wazir was a quiet, soft spoken figure in an organization replete with flamboyant characters. He eschewed the high-living that tainted some PLO figures during the organization's years in Beirut, with its night clubs and cafes. That enabled him to maintain the respect of all the factions within the often deeply divided PLO.
But behind the mild, non-threatening facade was a man capable of using brutality and bloodshed to advance the cause of Palestinian independence. He was largely responsible for organizing PLO underground cells within the West Bank and Gaza. He maintained close ties to Soviet Bloc countries that were a source of weapons and political support, even as Arafat himself was reaching out to the West.
Al-Wazir had long been wanted in a series of deadly attacks against Israeli civilians. Among them, he masterminded a 1975 hostage taking at a Tel Aviv hotel in which 11 Israelis were killed, and a 1978 attack on an Israeli bus that killed 38 Israelis.
At the time of his death, he was a main organizer of the first Palestinian uprising against Israel, which began in December 1987, four months before he was killed.
Israel has carried out similar assassination operations in the past, including the killing of top leaders of Black September, the Palestinian group that carried out the massacre of 11 members of the Israeli delegation to the 1972 Munich Olympics.
It is also suspected of a series of other plots it has never confirmed or denied.
— In 1995, the founder of the Islamic Jihad group Fathi Shikaki was gunned down in Malta by a man on a motorcycle in an attack widely attributed to Israel.
— In 2008, Imad Mughniyeh, a top commander in the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, was killed by a bomb that ripped through his car in Damascus, Syria. Hezbollah and its primary patron, Iran, have blamed Israel for the killing.
— In 2010, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a top Hamas operative, was killed in a Dubai hotel room in an operation attributed to Israel's Mossad.
Iran also blames Israel for covert plots against its nuclear program and the killing of top scientists. In turn, Iran and Hezbollah have been blamed for various attacks on Israelis abroad.

David and Esther moved from Northern Ireland to Cambodia in March 2011. They felt the call to serve as full time Elim missionaries after being part of, and then leading, short term mission teams.
"God spoke to us individually and put a desire on our hearts for us, as a couple, to live each moment totally for Him. We are passionate about reaching the Khmer people and making a difference to the lives of those around us. Our missionary journey has been exciting, scary, challenging, and many other emotions but God is always faithful and He is our constant guide. We can do nothing in our own strength and we value your prayers as we continue to do our utmost for His kingdom here in Cambodia".
This project provides a 12 month training programme for young ladies who have rescued from a life of abuse or exploitation. In a safe and loving environment, the girls are taught skills in handicrafts, English, Khmer, life skills, bible study and devotions. The vision of Be Free Cambodia is to see lives restored, hearts mended and women with lives filled with God's joy and peace!
The youth fellowship meets every Sunday afternoon and has around 30 young people, raging from 10-18 years of age, who attend each week. They enjoy worship, discipleship, games, snacks and once every two months they go on an outing.
The Happy Kids Club takes place in a village community outside of Phnom Penh where the family of our church trainee Pastor, Sarak, lives. Twice a month Sarak goes on a moto and shares the love of Jesus with the children and adults who gather at his family home. They are taught lively worship songs, hear a story from the bible, play games, colour in and simply have a few hours of fun! We believe this is a vital ministry and one which, we hope and pray, will lead to a church being planted in the community.
The Khmer Church has around 70-80 people fellowshipping together each week. The eldership and leadership is made up of, mainly, Khmer people, each with a heart to serve God and reach the local community,and further afield, with the love of Jesus. Sunday school takes place during the service, there is also a women's and men's ministry and a weekly prayer meeting.
Sunday School is important to the work in Cambodia as the children are like sponges and will go home and share what they learn with their friends and family. Nita, who is Chamnap's wife and the manager of the Early Learning Centre co-ordinates Sunday School and has a team of volunteers, staff from the centre, who teach.
The ELC is managed by Nita and the amazing staff who care for babies, toddlers and pre-school children, enabling their parents to go to work. The centre operates a sponsorship scheme where individuals in the UK can support a family who would otherwise be unable to provide day-care for their children. The children are taught valuable skills including English, Khmer and numeracy, they learn about Jesus and enjoy play in a safe and loving environment.


The first step is to clear away all rust from the fence; you do not want to paint over old rust, as the corrosion will only continue to grow and will reveal itself as bubbling underneath the paint. Removing rust patches will require the use of an angle grinder, as sandpaper won't be able to work deep enough into the metal.
To use an angle grinder to remove rust from an iron or steel fence, begin by attaching a wire cup wheel. While the size of the wheel can vary and depends largely on personal preference, knotted wire wheels are stronger and will more effectively cut through rust.
Next, put on protective eyewear as well as a pair of form-fitting work gloves and a long-sleeve shirt. It is important to dress for safety when using a wire cup wheel, as some of the tiny wires will break free from the wheel and sting when striking bare skin or get in your eyes without protection.
Begin removing the rust by applying the wire cup wheel to the patches. Be sure to remove all the rust and taper the edges of the repair site with surrounding areas. Continue applying the brush until you reach bare metal.
Once all the rust spots have been removed, the next step is to roughen up the remainder of the fence. This is necessary to provide good adhesion for the primer coat. To scuff the paint, grasp a handful of size "0" steel wool and rub it vigorously against the painted surfaces of the fence. You don't need to remove the paint, but it should be dull all over.
After scuffing the paint, you will need to clean up the fence to remove paint, rust residue, oil and any remaining debris. Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is an excellent cleaner and degreaser and is easy to work with. Follow the instructions on the container of TSP and mix the recommended amount of powder with hot water in a clean bucket.
Apply the TSP using a large sponge; wipe down the fence to eliminate any trace of contaminants, then rinse the fence with a garden hose to clean the TSP residue. Allow the fence to air dry before moving on to the next step.
The final step in the restoration process is to apply coats of primer and paint. The primer is necessary to seal the bare metal from moisture and prevent rust from forming. Apply an oil-based exterior primer suitable for metal by using a 1-inch paint brush on all surfaces. Allow the primer to dry for 24 hours before applying any paint. Next, clean and rinse the brush using mineral spirits to remove all the primer. Finally, once the primer has dried completely, apply a coat of exterior metal enamel on top of the dried primer; add a second coat of paint, if necessary, to cover the primed metal.


The USDA is completing trials on a system for mass vaccination offish in fishponds using ultrasound. Nanocapsules containing short strands of DNA are added to a fishpond where they are absorbed into the cells of the fish. Ultrasound is then used to rupture the capsules, releasing the DNA and eliciting an immune response from the fish. This technology has so far been tested on rainbow trout by Clear Springs Foods (Idaho, US) a major aquaculture company that produces about one-third of all U.S. farmed trout.
Well-established coupling strategies can now be applied to covalently link the functional groups of the nanotubes with peptides, maleimide linkers (for subsequent attachment of proteins via cysteine units), or the like. It is possible, for instance, to immobilize viral proteins (e.g., of the virus causing foot-and -mouth desease) while conserving their immunological properties (Figure 3.111). Thus the nanotube acts as a carrier for antigenes and might also be employed as a vehicle for vaccines. Nanotubes possess an important advantage over the carrier proteins commonly used for this purpose It is true that the correct immune response to the antigene is evoked in both cases, and also that in a mouse model an immunity against the actual virus is generated, but to the nanotubes themselves, there is no immune response at all. Carrier proteins, on the other hand, give rise to such a reaction by inducing the formation of unspecific antibodies.
Nology start-up companies in the United States, which are currently struggling to obtain financing, would have little chance of weathering through such a regulatory storm. Further, established companies would be likely to reduce the resources devoted to developing products based on nanomaterials they might shift their research and development and manufacturing facilities overseas. Thus, for example, Nanomed Pharmaceuticals would be unable to obtain financing for further development of drugs and vaccines to treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, and IBM could reduce the resources devoted to developing nanoelectronic devices. By drowning part of an industry with significant economic potential, stringent regulation of nanomateri-als could indirectly condemn a large number of people to premature deaths.
The options for drug administration in vivo are oral and parenteral. For obvious reasons, gravitation and centrifugation are not suitable for targeting in this case. Oral administration of gene vectors localizes delivery to the gastrointestinal tract and promises great potential for genetic vaccination. Bacterial vectors 151-155 , viral vectors 156, 157 , chitosan-DNA complexes 158-160 , and microencapsulated nucleic acids or viruses 161-167 are used for this purpose. For details, the reader is referred to the cited literature. A complete review volume has been dedicated recently to microencapsulated DNA formulations for vaccination purposes 168 .
Therapeutic nanotechnology will be useful, of course, when the underlying biology of the disease states involved is amenable to intervention at the nanoscale. As we will discuss, while several disease states and physiological conditions (cancer, vaccination, cardiovascular disease, etc.) are particularly accessible to nanoscale interventions, some nanotechnological approaches may be applicable more broadly. Much as was the case with the introduction of recombinant protein therapeutics over the last 20 years, nanotherapeutics may present regulatory and pharmacoeconomic challenges related to their novelty and their cost of goods (COGs).
Delivery of therapeutics to sites of action is a key strategy to enhance clinical benefit, particularly for drugs useful within only narrow windows of concentration because of their toxicity (i. e., drugs with narrow therapeutic windows). Diverse targeting approaches are available, ranging from methods exploiting differential extravasation limits of vasculature of different tissues (see the discussion of oncology below), sizes, and surface chemistry preferences for cellular uptake (see discussion of vaccines below) preferential partition of molecules and particles into specific tissues by virtue of their charges, sizes, surface chemistry, or extent of opsonization (see below) or the affinity of biological molecules decorating the nanodevice for counter-receptors on the cells or tissues of interest.
Nanoparticles for pharmaceutical purposes are defined by the Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology 7 as solid colloidal particles ranging in size from 1 to 1000 nm (1 m). They consist of macromolecular materials and can be used therapeutically as drug carriers, in which the active principle (drug or biologically active material) is dissolved, entrapped, or encapsulated, or to which the active principle is adsorbed or attached. This definition was already formulated earlier in a number of reviews 1, 3, 6, 8 and includes monolithic nanoparticles with drug dispersed in the polymer network or dissolved in the polymer in form of an amorphous solid solution (Fig. 1a) as well as capsules with a shell-like wall (Fig. 1b). It also includes for instance nanoparticulate adjuvants in vaccines. This definition does not include solid lipid nanoparticles which are produced from lipids 9-11 . Nevertheless, solid lipid nanoparticles are described in Section 4.9.
If Bruner is right this presents a dilemma for science communication. For communication within the scientific community the paradigmatic mode is appropriate, but for communication with other audiences it may not be persuasive, particularly when it is challenged by a narrative account. In the UK this has been seen in a long running dispute over the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccination for children. The epidemiological evidence (paradigmatic) is overwhelmingly in support of the efficacy of the triple vaccine. Yet a single paper in a medical journal, the Lancet, based on a handful of cases, purported to show a link between the triple vaccine and childhood autism. The paper attracted considerable media attention, including interviews with distressed parents of autistic children claiming that the disease was due to the triple vaccination. This led to a significant fall-off in the rates of vaccination and opened up the possibility of epidemics of dangerous childhood disease.
Times the rate of the middle third, while the bottom third showed no increase (Scott, 2001). Despite global economic growth, poverty persists, with two fifths of humanity living on less than US 2 per day, the minimum for meeting basic needs. Healthy life expectancy (not just 'life expectancy') in Zimbabwe is 33.6 years, in Zambia 34.9 years and Afghanistan 35.5 years, whereas it is 75 years in Japan, 73.3 in Sweden and 72 years in Canada and in France. About 2.3 million people, mostly in the developing countries, die from eight diseases that could be prevented by vaccination (Pirages, 2005, pp46, 50).
Sarah NAI is a completely theoretical project, but modern science is well on its way to making it a reality. A needle-free, nanotechnology-based vaccine has been developed for anthrax. In addition, similar nanotechnology-based vaccines have been developed for bubonic plague, staph, and ricin for the U.S. Army, as well as one for malaria for the U.S. Navy.
The CBER is responsible for the regulation of biological products, which is an umbrella term that includes many forms of products used in the treatment of human beings. The term is not without some ambiguity, but it is frequently used to distinguish from chemical drugs that are synthesized chemically. Examples of such products include allergenics used by physicians to identify allergies in humans blood and blood components used in transfusions gene-therapy products used to replace genetic material in human beings human tissues used in transplants, such as skin, ligaments, and cartilage xenotrans-plantation products in which animal tissue or organs are transplanted into human beings and vaccines. In addition to the regulation of such biologics, the CBER is responsible for the regulation of certain related medical devices that are used to safeguard biologics.
The drug delivery systems will minimize drug degradation and loss and prevent harmful side effects by delivering therapeutic drugs to the desired site of the body. Drug delivery systems will have potential for many applications, including antitumor therapy, gene therapy, AIDS therapy, and the delivery of antibiotics and vaccines.
Due to its low toxicity and large chemical inertness, nanodiamond is an attractive material for biological applications. Biological moieties may be attached by either covalent or noncovalent bonding. Most publications available to date describe the noncovalent adsorption of proteins, antibodies, enzymes, viruses, etc. In some cases, the surface of the diamond particles is pretreated, for instance, by coating it with L - polylysine or cellobiose, before the adsorption of the biologically active unit itself is effected. The diamond hybrid particles thus obtained suit to the preparation of transporting vehicles for vaccines or pharmaceutical actives or to the controlled release of genes, etc., inside living cells. In this regard then, the small particle size is rather beneficial.
NTs are considered to be biocompatible572-576 and attract great interest as a material for biological applications. The main fields of such applications include (1) fabrication of bioprobes and biosensors, (2) synthesis of molecular structures for the transport of vaccines and drugs, especially water-insoluble substances into the body or to a certain body organ, (3) formation of anti-fouling surfaces (enzyme-containing composites), (4) use of NTs as a template to grow cells, and (5) creation of implantable bioelectronic devices.
Research workers at State University of New York at Stony Brook 11 reported synthesis of the polio virus from starting chemicals available in the modern biological laboratory. The only starting information used was knowledge of the DNA sequences in the polio virus. The implication is that this virus could be built to altered specifications, perhaps including those for which the Salk vaccine would be useless.
Microparticulate delivery systems, potential drug vaccine carriers for poorly bioavailable drugs and vaccines via mucosal (particularly oral) routes, were reviewed 947 . A variety of therapeutic moieties, including peptides and proteins, show enhanced oral uptake when entrapped within various types of microparticulate system constructs, and this approach was used successfully for the oral, nasal, and rectal delivery of a variety of vaccines. As drug-delivery technology becomes more sophisticated and our understanding of the uptake and immunological mechanisms of mucosal sites becomes more defined, many further microparticulate constructs would emerge and demonstrate their potential.
Recently, there has been significant interest in developing nonviral vectors for synthetic vaccines designed to prime the adaptive immune system that are sought for a broad range of infectious diseases and for the treatment of cancer in both prophylactic and therapeutic settings 250-252 . However, many obstacles associated with the successful delivery of synthetic vaccines remain such as antigen loading capacity, maintaining the integrity of encapsulated proteins, and minimizing the nonspecific antigen-antibody reaction. Therefore, the delivery system that can effectively carry the protein antigens to antigen-presenting cells is most desirable. The feasibility of achieving these goals has been demonstrated using submicron-sized hydrophilic particles, which were loaded with high doses of protein 253 .
In the case of both class I and class II, the antigen presenting complexes are moved to the cell surface after charging. The moving of molecules between different cellular locations (called trafficking) is tightly regulated by and driven by specific cellular proteins, systems, and structures. Proper trafficking is essential to assure that all cellular components assume their correct position in the cellular organization, which in this case, is to assure antigens are directed to the compartments that will (most often) produce most protective immune responses. These complex antigen processing and presentation systems can be perturbed and exploited to offer novel opportunities in vaccine design.
To detect the mass of individual virus particles, Gupta et al. present the microfabrication and application of arrays of silicon cantilever beams with a nanoscale thickness. The dimensions of the fabricated cantilever beams were in the range of 4pm to 5pm in length, 1pm to 2pm in width and 20 nm to 30 nm in thickness. They demonstrated the detection of a single vaccinia virus particle with an average mass of 9.5 fg. This particle is a member of the Poxviridae family and forms the basis of the smallpox vaccine. Using the frequency spectra of the cantilever beams, they were able to detect the airborne virus particles because of the thermal and ambient noise and the optical detection method.
A key issue in the development of second-generation vaccines involves targeting and delivery of antigens to antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Remarkable advances have been achieved in vaccine preparation techniques and among them, virus-mimicking nanoparticles (virosomes) have demonstrated potency in eliciting immune responses while minimizing side effects. reconstituted viral envelopes mimic the outer surface of a virus, virosomes can be used for mild induction of antibody responses against a native virus (for example, influenza virosomes can be used as a flu vaccine). Antigen delivery using virosomes is efficient enough to elicit a measurable immune response, and this approach has been developed into two commercially available vaccines Epaxal for hepatitis A and Inflexal V for influenza from Berna Biotech in 1994 and 1999, respectively.


Classic pleats gets a face lift with this metallic one. I've been wanting to get a metallic skirt since it's very hot this season. I didn't want it too sparkly and shiny so I scouted through the mall for that perfect one. Finally I found this one that's subtle with a suede like fabric that fits perfectly plus the length is spot on. Since the skirt is pretty sparkling, I wanted to dress it down by pairing it with this black embroidered T-shirt, put on my overused mules, instant effortless day outfit. You can easily transform this look to night outfit by simply putting on a jacket and switching into your heels, instant date night look.

Video / Health Topics A-Z / Plaque Psoriasis / Is a Heart-Healthy Diet Good for Psoriasis?
Eating a heart-healthy diet may make managing psoriasis symptoms easier. In this video, Ashley Koff, RD, explains how a heart-healthy diet includes essential fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation in the body.
It's important with all the disease to remember that all of the different parts of the body are interrelated right. So somebody might have psoriasis and say gosh why do I need to follow a heart healthy diet? And at the core it's because we need the whole of our insides to be healthy so that we don't have certain symptoms and in this case the symptoms of Psoriasis.
So what's beautiful is that a heart healthy diet actually at it's core is extremely healthy for our skins, is extremely healthy to promote optimal inflammation or healthy inflammation response in the body. So a heart healthy diet is actually full of a lot of great nutrients that can be helpful for Psoriasis for example of unhealthy dieting includes our essential fatty acids a higher amount of our Omega-3 that's going to help reduce inflammation in the body also we want to make sure we are getting those important minerals or potassium and our magnesium and we also want to make sure we are not having to much sodium, that's the heart healthy part but did you know that's great for the psoriasis part too because it helps make sure that our body is extremely well hydrated and also that our inflammatory response is happening in a healthy way.

The relief rally for the Nifty that began from the lows of February 11th, ended today with a strong reversal bar. As can be seen from the chart below, today's price action shows a rejection of the early highs and sellers have overpowered the buying pressure of the previous day too. This bearish outside day is marked on the chart.
If my Elliott wave labelling is correct, Nifty should decline to a minimum of 5115 in the near term - could be even as quick as 2 weeks or less.
Hi Jai, Really impressed with your projection in the past though nifty pushed itself up all the way to 5600.
Now should we square off all our cash holding too and start buying puts of March.
Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
For the vast majority of stocks that is going to be the case. Even for the other stocks, it may just be a matter of time. If someone has been long and holding since March/Apr 09 and still has some cushion of profits, holding till break of Feb 11th low may make some sense. Puts of March would be quite sensible.
Thank you. More importantly, hope it was meaningful to your portfolio and kept you on the right side of the market.
Once again you have proved to be absolutely on the dot on Nifty. Congratulations Sir !
You had mentioned about the levels in Bank Nifty also but I did not initiate any short positions in them. Totally my loss.
I came to know about you sometime back but I did not pay much attention at that time. I sorely regret this.
Sir, I know you have said earlier that counter-trend moves are difficult to predict but you have been right in the counter-trend moves also. It is amazing. Now please I request you to inform the level that the nifty can bounce back to so that I can initiate shorts again. Also please indicate what the stops, if any, should be and what targets to look for to book profits.
To me the decline looks incomplete and it has to exceed the low of Feb 11th and do a minimum of 5115 with possibilities of 4816-4779. On the higher side, the high of Feb expiration day should act as a strong resistance, though I suspect the market may not even cross 5372. Look at some just OTM puts on a pop on Monday if you are trying to create fresh short position on Nifty.
I still think the dominant trend is lower. Nifty could stay up for a couple of days and then head back in the direction of the dominant trend. Unless Nifty crosses 5690, there will not be any need to re-assess my views.
hello Sir, Bought nifty 5200 Put @70 AVE. Shouldhold or exit as it seems nifty heading for 5600 and Beyond.
You are the best judge of whether to hold or fold . Having gone for puts you have already limited your risk. Here is a broad hint – suppose I was in this trade, I would not worry about what the market does in the extreme short term. Before pulling the trigger on a trade, I would have already evaluated how much I can afford to lose if I get the trade wrong. I'm sure you have done this too.
Now, here is the technicals – my reading is that markets are still in a down trend and nothing much has changed. The markets may extend higher for a couple of days and then will resume the trend lower.
I am not a technical person but I do have some limited experience in this market. I would like to share some of my views here. Jai, please do comment as it will provide a learning experience for us all.
"The Long term trend is down, the intermediate trend is down, only the extreme short term has trended up but again that is event based and does not mean that the scenario has changed. Am I right?
In fact even if I were to be holding shorts in futures, I would be comfortable paying additional margins and holding on, possibly adding some more in a pyramid structure and cashing in, as soon as the trend resumes downward again.
All trades should have a stop loss, that is true, and one should get into a trade assessing one's loss limit, that way and only in that way would one be able to make money in this market.
Am grateful for your adept response.
will hold with SL of 5700 spot.
Further to the point about stoplosses, I believe the stoploss will have to be on closing basis. Any intraday movement should be discounted, I think, because of the high volatility. What say?
Dear Jai, pls post your upcoming schedule on T.V.
As its very interesting to watch.
Elliot Wave Principle – by Prechter and Frost is a classic and advanced book on TA. But remember, learning to NOT bring in a bias and keeping things simple will work wonders. In my experience that is much more important.
A suggestion. I think a seperate discussion board might be more helpful here.
Keep these stock on your watchlist So much for the Reliance-BP deal!!

Q: Graphic Equalizer in Javascript with maximum compatibility I need to make some sort of visualisation for while music is playing through a html5 player, I've been looking at the audio API and found that some parts work only on chrome, some only on firefox.
I'm not that bothered about internet explorer but I need some kind of solution for the other two, does anyone know of a plugin or even some sort of tutorial where I could start? Ideally this would be using javascript, avoiding extra flash applets if possible, Thanks.
Edit:
 Just to clarify, I have MP3/OGA files and I would like to get some kind of visual output while they are playing.

A: You should check out this article: Visualising  elements with the Web Audio API (see: demo).
The Web Audio API specification is currently in a draft stage but will eventually become the W3C standard. Firefox currently only supports the incompatible, Mozilla-specific Audio Data API, but it is marked as "deprecated" in favor of the Web Audio API. Unfortunately work has not yet started on the new Web Audio API in Firefox. The Bugzilla bug 779297 was created to track progress on implementing this standard.
TL;DR You cannot get audio visualizations working cross-browser without Flash at the moment. The Web Audio API is the future.
