The Department of Education (DPU) is the hub of education and pedagogic research in Denmark.
The department is currently working to implement the decisions made in connection with the academic development process at Aarhus University, which made the following comments about the Department of Education (DPU):
"It was key to the decision to have three institutes and one centre based on primary focus areas that a significant proportion of the courses and research at DPU has a sector-specific character with a number of clear receivers and external interested parties, which demands a clear organisational contact interface.
Furthermore, the former DPU already has an interdisciplinary organisation with research and courses across disciplines and existing institutes, prompting a continued organisation of the DPU as a cohesive unit.
In order to strengthen the internal openness and flexibility, the existing three institutes and the Centre for Primary School Research will be combined into one institute, called: the 'Department of Education (DPU)'. The new department will be able to carry on DPU's brand in the areas of research and knowledge exchange, while also providing a strong framework for new and future courses within the department and across primary areas.
A future strategy process is intended to help strengthen the DPU's profile as Denmark's hub for education and pedagogic research, and for courses particularly in the area of pre-schooling, primary school and lifelong learning."

Q: Can child Parameter sets inherit from another object? In the Origen::Parameters docs I see that parameter sets can inherit from other parameter sets within the same scope.  I also see that parameter contexts can be set to follow another object.  What I am looking for seems to be a combination of the two features:
# In top level DUT :top
define_params :default do |p|
  p.hello = 'world'
end

# In child sub-block :child
define_params :default, inherit: 'top.default' do |p|
  p.child_param = 'goodbye'
end

# In debugger
dut.child.params.keys # => [:hello, :child_param]

thx

A: No, that's not possible today, seems like if would be a good feature to add though.

A: Origen now supports parameter set remote inheritance.  Here is an example:
define_params :ate, inherit: 'dut.ddr.default' do |params|
  params.erase.time = 40.mS
end

You just have to love the drama in this vest.
Hand painted with great abandon. Feel it when you wear it.
It takes Jeans and a top to new heights.
And is ready to go out anywhere with the black ITY Flair pants and a black ITY Lynne top.
Wear it longer - as in photos 1 to 3 - or turn it upside down and wear it like a shoulder cape vest/jacket - as shown in photos 4 and 5.

As we age, our lifestyle and marks of expression begin to take their toll on our appearance. What were once cute smile lines have become unsightly folds and marks that leave us looking tired.
Botox and Xeomin work by relaxing muscles on areas of the face and neck which cause the wrinkles associated with facial expressions. As a result, the muscle contractions stop or are greatly reduced, and the skin returns to a smooth and youthful appearance to leave you looking rested and happier.
Both Botox and Xeomin are botulinum toxin type A. However, unlike Botox, Xeomin has no additives. This reduces the chance of your body developing antibodies which can block the desired effects from taking place.
Xeomin does not need to be refrigerated before use, and it works slightly faster than Botox – apart from that, the treatments are similar.
The injection will be administered in our tranquil spa setting by Dr. Lolachi, board-certified medical doctor and industry-leading wellness expert.
First, Dr. Lolachi will sit with you to decide whether Botox or Xeomin is best suited to you. The benefits of having a professionally trained doctor carry out the treatment, instead of a nurse or an esthetician, are greater precision and a dramatic reduction in the risk of side-effects.
A common misconception is that Botox actually paralyzes the muscles in the face. Although this can happen with extreme amounts of Botox, Dr. Lolachi strives to inject just the right amount to allow you some natural activity.
The transformative effects of Botox and Xeomin are visible within one week and it will last from three to four months. We recommend maintaining regular treatments in order to maximize the effects.
There should not be any bruising post-treatment. To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid NSAIDS (i.e. Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Ibuprofen, etc.), Vitamin E, blood thinners (i.e. coumadin, etc.), Co-Enzyme Q tablets, etc. The instructions after treatment are simply to avoid lying down or frequent bending for 4 hours, and no deep massage of the area for two days. It is okay to wash your face and apply makeup immediately after.

Drake's Free Concert At The Apollo Theater Was An Evening Of Mutual Gratitude
Tony Yayo Recites The First Rhyme 50 Cent Ever Wrote
"If it was selling drugs [or] music, it was selling drugs," Yayo says of Fif's mindset at the time.

Tony Yayo has given Hip-Hop fans a blast from the past by sharing the first rap he'd ever heard from 50 Cent, years prior to his rise to stardom.
The G-Unit rapper recently appeared on VladTV for an interview, during which he recalled his introduction to Fif as a rapper, which came as the pair were knee deep in Southside Jamaica's drug game.
Yayo, 44, recited the rhyme he heard back when, which he says was based on their reality at the time. "The sale went stale / Quarter mil bail / Fresh out the jail / Sh*t is really real / Ni**as is locked up man I pray they don't tell / 100 man indictment my lawyer got to fight this / Ni**as know I ain't never pressed for dough," the Predicate Felon spat. "Ni**as know I don't serve nobody I don't know / Son said he was from OT / Sold 11 to Oz / His man brought him to me but he ain't really know, b / Said it was hot, Duke was a cop."
Giving further context of the inspiration behind the rhyme and the time period it was created, Yayo says he first heard it in the basement of one of their mutual friends on the street. According to the rapper, it was their place of refuge when patrolling cops forced them to take breaks from their business on the street until the heat died down. He also says that he and his crew didn't necessarily have aspirations to become rap stars at the time and that the rhyme was more of a byproduct of being a past-time and hobby.

"I think people just get into it," he says of creators within the genre. "Like you see the kids from The Bronx they just go to the studio they drill, I don't think that like…we still was in the streets," he added. "If it was selling drugs [or] music, it was selling drugs. Music wasn't making me no money at the time so it was a hobby for me."
Tony Yayo first came to prominence alongside 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks during their dominant mixtape run of the early '00s. Incarcerated prior to the release of Get Rich or Die Tryin', upon his release from prison in 2004, he dropped his debut and lone solo album Thoughts of a Predicate Felon the following year. He has appeared on numerous musical projects by 50 Cent throughout his career, including the G-Unit studio albums Beg for Mercy and T·O·S (Terminate on Sight).

Making his NJPW debut as Tetsuya Naito's "pareja" in October 2015, EVIL surprised many with his speed in the ring, belying his powerful frame.
A short reign with the NEVER Openweight Championship in late 2016 made many take notice, but it was in 2017 that EVIL seemed to truly arrive. His G1 Climax 27 campaign showed off EVIL's considerable power and ability, and anybody still on the fence was convinced when the 'King of Darkness' defeated Kazuchika Okada in Osaka, ending the Rainmaker's winning streak.
EVIL was not just impressive in singles competition, but also in a tag team. Along with SANADA, he won back to back World Tag Leagues in 2017 and 2018, and converted those wins into IWGP Tag Team Championships at the following Wrestle Kingdom. EVIL and SANADA also gelled well with BUSHI, and as a trio, won the NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Championships three times. While his name and brooding appearance may seem oppressive, EVIL became a beloved member of LIJ, and is often greeted by a sea of red glowing penlights and chants of his name. EVIL is only too eager to welcome the fans and his opponents to 'the darkness world'.

The Single Best Way to Do a Push-Up, According to Science
This is why I love our suspension trainers!
As you, a dedicated fitness enthusiast who also diligently reads GQ, are no doubt well aware, the only exercise you really need to build a Gronkowski-esque chest is the trusty ol' push-up, which requires only a few square feet of semi-cleared floor space to complete. But what happens once I have mastered the push-up?, you may be asking yourself. However shall I ensure that my fitness journey does not thereafter come to a quiet, prone end?
Many gyms now prominently feature "instability devices," including Swiss balls, suspension devices, medicine balls, wobble boards, and the like. (Actually, many of these contraptions are small and portable enough that you might consider stashing one for home workouts, too.) When incorporated into a familiar movement—for example, a push-up—these things are supposed to activate hard-to-train muscle groups in ways that performing the exercise on terra firma simply can't replicate. A recent study conducted by researchers in Spain aimed to shed some light on which of these myriad devices does the best job at making push-ups into a more challenging full-body workout, and which equipment you should feel free to leave to your less-informed fellow gym-goers.
In the experiment, subjects performed push-ups on the floor; on a wobble board; on a stability disk; on a fitness dome; and using a TRX suspension trainer. Although the researchers found no significant differences between floor push-ups and unstable push-ups when it came to shoulder activation—the muscle group you're probably used to training with a push-up—their findings for the rest of the body are more interesting. Each of the instability devices yielded activation levels in core, lower back, and leg muscles that were significantly higher than floor push-ups, and the TRX suspension trainer easily outpaced its counterparts in the latter two muscle groups. Thus, although all the studied options help make the push-up into a better core workout, only the TRX trainer really brings the lower body into it, too. The researchers hypothesize that the TRX device, which entails completing the movement while suspended in mid-air, requires users to exert more effort to control their body than when the ground is helpfully pushing back beneath them.
It may not be flashy, but science says that the push-up is still one of the most dependable exercises in your regimen's arsenal. Once you're in need of an additional challenge, ditch the other stuff and wait for a turn on the TRX. Make sure you know how to get in and out correctly first, though, and consider using a spotter until you've got the hang of it. An efficient, efficacious, full-body push-up workout is great, but a smashed-up face and badly bruised ego are decidedly not.

Allergen-induced lung inflammation in actively sensitized mice assessed with MR imaging.
Ble, Francois-Xavier and Cannet, Catherine and Zurbruegg, Stefan and Karmouty Quintana, Harry and Bergmann, Reinhard and Frossard, Nelly and Trifilieff, Alexandre and Beckmann, Nicolau (2008) Allergen-induced lung inflammation in actively sensitized mice assessed with MR imaging. Radiology, 248 (3). pp. 834-843. ISSN 1527-1315
Official URL: http://radiology.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/abstract...
PURPOSE: To demonstrate the feasibility of using proton magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to noninvasively detect extravascular and luminal fluid in a murine model of allergen-induced airway inflammation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Basel Veterinary Authority approved this experiment. Actively sensitized female Balb/c mice received ovalbumin or saline and underwent MR imaging (a) once 24 hours after the fourth administration of ovalbumin or saline (n = 25) or (b) several times between and after ovalbumin or saline administrations (n = 22) to determine the volume of fluid signal induced by an allergen. Images were acquired in spontaneously breathing animals, without cardiac or respiratory gating. Signal detected with a gradient-echo sequence was compared with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid parameters and with perivascular and peribronchial edema and mucus observed at histologic analysis. RESULTS: Up to 24 hours after the fourth administration of ovalbumin, intense and continuous fluid signals (volume, 40-50 microL) were detected in proximal lung regions. At 72 hours after the fourth administration of ovalbumin, remaining signals (21.1 microL +/- 3.8) had a discontinuous texture. The number of eosinophils in the BAL fluid at 24 and 72 hours and their activation were higher in mice that received ovalbumin than in those that received saline. Histologic analysis revealed edema and secreted mucus in the early phase, whereas only mucus was encountered in the late phase. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the main component of the early response was plasma leakage (edema), while the main component of the late response was secreted mucus. With the technique validated, the basis for pharmacologic studies in this murine model of lung inflammation with use of MR imaging as a noninvasive readout was provided.

Sentiment is likely one of the primary issues which might be threatening the reason for harmony and solidarity in Nigeria. The disagreement and tribal feuds are being squabbled via Nigerians everywhere the rustic. We will have to forestall making sweeping generalization on different ethnic tribes, and start to reserve our feelings in opposition to different ethnic groupings if peace and harmony will have to reign in Nigeria.
This is the bedrock of peace and oneness in a multi-cultural country like Nigeria. Nigerians of each and every race, gender, and faith must love and admire every different as one circle of relatives. We must be told to love our fellow countrymen. If we're challenged via an issue, we must spherical ourselves on a negotiating desk and now not to stay in finger-pointing and depraved sentiments. If we like and adore ourselves as Nigerians, peace and harmony will ceaselessly thrive in our nation.
This is essential now not simplest in keeping up harmony in Nigeria, however in upholding peace and tranquility amongst Nigerians. Nigerians must regard all and sundry as one. Parents at house and academics in college must orient the youngsters in regards to the significance of equality. Let the Nigerian other folks know that they belong to one circle of relatives. The perception of "we" vs. "Them" will have to be stopped for Nigeria to keep more potent, more secure and extra united.
Religion is a great factor, however its apply. Should be personal – simplest between you and your God on no matter you consider. Its apply must be throughout the confines of your church or mosque; Your house and your circle of relatives. We must be told to go away our faith at our houses and now not check out to elevate it alongside and put in force it in our public sq..
The National Youth Service Corp is a great factor. It used to be established in 1973 after the Nigerian Civil War in 1967 in order to "reconstruct and reconcile" the country. The scheme is aimed to foster "national unity" amongst Nigerian formative years; Therefore, allow us to NOT "wallow in the valley of despair" to its purpose. To deal with peace and harmony in Nigeria, due to this fact, we must make the most of the scheme and stick with it and working.
To deal with peace and harmony in Nigeria, huge enlightenment will have to ensued. The Federal Government will have to step-in to enlighten most people, particularly the ignorant and illiterate inhabitants about harmony and non violent co-existence some of the citizenry, with the central theme of equality and oneness. This can also be rejected during the channels of media in order to succeed in the large inhabitants.
Nigeria used to be constructed at the foundations of tolerance and harmony. As Nigerians, we must uphold the Nigerian dream of harmony in variety and keep robust, non violent, and united for the reason that sour demanding situations which might be going through us nowadays.


McLAREN 650S GT3 SECURED FURTHER SILVERWARE OVER THE WEEKEND IN NORTH AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA.
8 Mar 2016. McLaren Dubai News.
PODIUM FINISHES FOR THE 650S GT3 ON BOTH SIDES OF THE GLOBE.
The McLaren 650S GT3 secured further silverware at the weekend in North America and Australia at the first rounds of the Pirelli World Challenge and the CAMS Australian GT championship. With a total of nine examples of the 650S GT3 racing with customer teams across the two championships, McLaren GT was well represented, and across the course of five races, secured a race win, three further podiums and a new lap record.
The opening round of the Pirelli World Challenge saw Factory Driver Alvaro Parente join customer team K-PAX Racing as a three car entry. The Portuguese driver secured a second row start for the first of the weekend's two races and claimed P6 in Race 1 and a solid P8 in Race 2 on his debut outing at the Circuit of the Americas. Teammate Colin Thompson brought the #13 650S GT3 home in P4 just behind the #99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing with a podium finish on the team's debut with the 650S GT3 at its home circuit.
In Australia, the three teams who contested the Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour last month were back on track for the first action of the 2016 CAMS Australian GT season at the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide. Race 1 of the triple-header saw the 650S GT3 claim a double podium with Nathan Morcom securing P2 for Tekno Autosports while father-and-son pairing of Tony and Klark Quinn claimed P3 for Darrell Lea. Morcom's teammate Nathan Antunes proved to be the quickest man of the weekend and broke the lap record. The lap time of 1m 20.413s beat the previous record by four tenths of a second.
The second race of the weekend saw the 650S GT3 claim three top 10 finishes, with the 10 lead cars split by as many seconds with Darrell Lea leading home the trio. The third and final race of the weekend saw more success for the 650S GT3 as Tony Walls stayed calm under pressure to take the lead and defend in the closing stages, claiming victory for customer team Objective Racing.

About JamesBrubaker
Episode 146 - Punch-Drunk Love (w/ Emily Yoshida)
JamesBrubaker replied to DaltonMaltz's topic in The Canon
Long time listener, maybe first time poster? I might have posted years ago. But PDL is one of my all time favorites, so I had to come post. Sorry if this seems a bit rushed--I'm on my lunch break and know if I don't finish now, I'll probably forget to come back. So, many folks have touched on the film's emotional beats and how effective they are, and that's a huge part of this film's success for me. But over the year's the film has come to read as an incisive bit of film criticism. The absurdity of Barry's man-child behavior, the underdevelopment of Lena, the ease with which Lena falls in love with Barry--these feel like a critique of both the romantic comedy genre and of Sandler's comedic persona. In a way, these parts of the film, to me, feel like an examination of what would happen if a "real world" version of Sandler's early comedic characters (who are basically heightened representations of toxic and immature male behavior) fell in love. All of the beats of a traditional rom-com are present, but they function, in part, as a critique of the genre. Lena falling for Barry? Of course it's absurd. He's violent and emotionally unstable, a visceral heightened portrayal of the kinds of broken men who rom-coms typically have "saved" by leading ladies. But here, we're supposed to be aware of that absurdity, and Anderson seems to do that very intentionally. At the same time, the film also works as a love letter to Hollywood's romantic tendencies. The way we linger on the shot of Barry and Lena's kiss in Hawaii, the odd uses of light and color, the clear, blunt language about love ("I have a love in my life"), all point to a more sincere celebration of portrayal's of idealized romantic love, ideals which can be harmful for actual real people, but can also be very powerful and transformative. It's the film's ability to both critique and celebrate the genre, to exist as a nuanced, complex examination of the genre that makes this film resonate so deeply with me. It makes me feel, and it makes me examine the things that are making me feel. One of my faves.
Episode 95: STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN
JamesBrubaker replied to devincf's topic in The Canon
Here's why I voted yes: The Wrath of Khan is the pinnacle of Original Trek storytelling (and the best Trek story ever told, period). It's a thematically rich film that explores issues of growing old, family, and responsibility. It holds the beloved TOS characters accountable for the sins of their past, and it does so in a way that explores the depths of their interpersonal relationships. In a way TWoK is kind of like sci-fi's answer to The Big Chill--it's a movie about baby boomers entering a phase of adulthood that's not necessarily comfortable or natural to them, and they have to sort through it and deal with past mistakes while grappling with not being as young, beautiful, and seemingly impervious as they were in the past. It's maybe the first time in Trek that a crew was depicted as being utterly vulnerable, and the resonance of that vulnerability reshaped future Trek and led to some of its finest moments from subsequent series. So yeah, this is a movie about getting older and looking back, and it works as both an exploration of Star Trek's legacy up until 1982 (that deconstructionist approach as discussed in the podcast) but also as a thoughtful read on how we negotiate past failures and mistakes and try to continue to try to be our best selves as we inch ever closer to death. I'd go a step beyond that even, though, and say that TWoK isn't just the best Trek story ever told, it's easily a top 10 (maybe even top 5) sci-fi film of all time.


Hiking in Virginia last week (at the Appalachian Trail Conservancy conference) sure brought back memories. It still rained in the afternoons, but the land was lush with greenery and wild flowers.
On one hike we crossed the same creek about ten times and that, too, reminded me of the abundant creeks, rivers, and waterfalls in Virginia.
A special delight last week was a re-visit to Damascus, considered by A.T. thru-hikers to be the premier hiking town on the trail. The wooden sign you see here is right on the A.T. and marks the official welcome to the thru-hiker entering Damascus, VA.
I went into the Mt. Rogers Outfitters store and met the same person who sold me socks eight years ago, when I thru'd. I glanced at the scale where I'd hung my pack in '03 and remembered the weight–42 pounds. Back then, that wasn't too heavy; today, I'd be laughed out of town!
I roamed the street with my friends and as voices chatted in my head, I half expected to see Yo-Yo, Zero, Buddha, Dred, Leap-Year, Euchre, and all the others. Ah, memories.

Today in OpenGov: How to survive a zombie campaign.
by Matt Rumsey Jul 25, 2019 6:28 am
In today's edition, Robert Mueller testifies, President Trump seeks a restraining order, Senators look to boost transparency and FOIA, the FEC takes a shot at zombie campaigns, and more.

Wealthy candidates have a built in funding advantage, but the end results are mixed. "Self-funded candidates have had mixed track records. Political scientist Jennifer Steen look at success rates of self-funders in congressional races in her 2006 book, "Self-Financed Candidates in Congressional Elections." She found that, on average, candidates' odds of winning actually decreased as they spent more on their campaigns, even among candidates who had political experience. A prominent counterexample, of course, is President Donald Trump, who gave $66 million to his 2016 campaign, though he also raised an additional $130 million from individual donors. But in 2018, 41 candidates ultimately self-funded to the tune of at least $1 million. Only nine of them won." (Center for Responsive Politics)
The FEC's opening shot against "zombie" campaigns hit Representative turned lobbyist Cliff Stearns. "Campaign finance regulators dinged former Rep. Cliff Stearns Tuesday for spending leftover campaign funds on personal expenses, the opening salvo in a new crackdown on so-called "zombie campaigns." Stearns illegally reached into his old campaign committee, Friends of Cliff Stearns, to pay for dues to a Washington, D.C., Republican club, meals and hotel stays for years after his departure from Congress seven years ago, according to a settlement agreement between the former Florida legislator and the Federal Election Commission Stearns will reimburse more than $8,00 to his "zombie" campaign committee and pay a $6,900 penalty." (Roll Call)
Facebook agreed to a $5 billion fine for privacy violations, but self-regulation indicates that it won't have to change its behavior. "When the Federal Trade Commission announced today that it had reached an agreement with Facebook over privacy violations, the massive $5 billion fine stuck out. But critics argue that any monetary penalty — even the second-largest ever imposed by the FTC — won't be enough to change Facebook's behavior in the future…With the eye-popping fine and talk of unprecedented oversight, you could think the FTC hit Facebook with everything in its power. But the fine print suggests the company still escaped any major changes to its business model." (The Verge)
The GPO has had 5 inspectors general in the past year. The latest to hold the office has some concerns about the agency's stability. "The Government Publishing Office's fifth inspector general in the last year painted a grim picture of the agency at a Senate Rules Committee hearing Wednesday, noting the agency's top jobs are plagued by instability, the workforce is shrinking and its buildings are in dire need of repair to keep workers safe…Leary said he's committed to the agency and plans to stay at the GPO until he sees substantial improvements." (Roll Call)
Senate panel approves bipartisan legislation to boost transparency around program performance. "Senate overseers on Wednesday approved a bipartisan bill that would require federal agencies to be more transparent about the performance and costs of their programs. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee advanced by voice vote "The Taxpayers Right to Know Act" (S. 2177), introduced last week by Sens. James Lankford, R-Okla.; Maggie Hassan, D-N.H.; Ron Johnson, R-Wis.; and Krysten Sinema, D-Ariz. The legislation would require agencies to make public detailed information on how well programs are working and how much is being spent on them." (Government Executive)
Bipartisan group of Senators moves to strengthen FOIA following Supreme Court setback. "A bipartisan team of senior U.S. Senators has introduced legislation to clarify important sections of the Freedom of Information Act and codify a presumption of disclosure for commercial records. According to the lawmakers, the executive and judicial branches have both undermined the intent of FOIA, which was originally passed in 1966 to provide the public access to the records and business of its democratic government." (MuckRock)
President Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump. Image credit: NASA HQ.
President Trump, along with his children and business, will have to face suit over alleged pyramid scheme. "President Donald Trump, his company and three of his children must face a class-action lawsuit in which people claim they were scammed into spending money on fraudulent, multilevel marketing ventures and a dubious live-seminar program. U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield in Manhattan ruled Wednesday that the case can go forward with claims of fraud, unfair competition, and deceptive trade practices." (Bloomberg)
Trump is asking for a restraining order to keep the House from gaining access to his New York State tax returns. "President Donald Trump's attorneys asked a federal judge Wednesday to issue a temporary restraining order to prevent the House's top tax writer from asking New York officials to turn over the president's state tax returns. Trump filed suit in the District of Columbia on Tuesday to keep House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) from taking advantage of a New York law that would give him access to the state returns upon request. New York officials are also named in the suit. But Trump's attorneys said Wednesday they fear Neal could ask for the returns before the case proceeds." (POLITICO)
Takeaways from Robert Mueller's testimony before two House committees yesterday. "After months of anticipation, Robert S. Mueller III, the former special counsel, on Wednesday delivered nearly seven hours of dry, sometimes halting testimony before Congress. Republicans and Democrats sparred over his conclusions, but in back-to-back hearings, Mr. Mueller mostly reiterated the findings of his two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election without offering any significant new disclosures." (New York Times)
The Justice Department won't charge Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in wake of contempt vote. "The Justice Department will not bring criminal charges against Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross after the Democrat-led House voted last week to hold them in contempt. In a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday, Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said the Cabinet officials' defiance of congressional subpoenas seeking information about the 2020 census 'did not constitute a crime.'" (POLITICO)
The top federal ethics official reminded Trump administration officials that their agreements with his office are not aspirational. "The federal government's top ethics official is warning political appointees in the Trump administration they cannot change their agreements with his office without his signing off and cautioned that he can take disciplinary action when necessary. In a memorandum issued last week to agency ethics officials, Office of Government Ethics Director Emory Rounds cautioned federal agencies against unilaterally making changes to agreements that spell out appointees' potential conflicts of interest and steps those officials will take to avoid them. OGE is responsible for reaching those agreements with each presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed (or PAS) appointee." (Government Executive)

The East and West Yorkshire Union Railway was promoted in 1883 to connect the Hull and Barnsley Railway at Drax with Leeds. The company was unable to raise the money it needed to build the line, and it substantially reduced its scope to connecting collieries around Rothwell with the existing main line network nearby. This was successful, with trains running from 1890, but the company decided it would find a way to connect to Leeds and operate a much truncated passenger service, from Rothwell. It sponsored the South Leeds Junction Railway to make a connection from Rothwell to the Midland Railway at Stourton; the SLJR was soon re-absorbed by the E&WYUR. The passenger service started on 4 January 1904 but it was a disastrous failure, and it was soon withdrawn from 1 October 1904.

The E&WYUR continued as a successful mineral railway, being taken into the London and North Eastern Railway at the grouping of the railways in 1923. The network closed in 1966 as the collieries had ceased operation.

Background
In the last quarter of the nineteenth century there was a considerable upsurge in the coal industry in Yorkshire. At the same time there was dissatisfaction with the facilities provided by the established railway companies, and indeed with their charges. From the railways' point of view, huge capital investment in rolling stock and in infrastructure was being called for at a time when money was limited.

The Hull and Barnsley Railway (H&BR) was authorised by Act of 26 August 1880 with the principal object of providing a direct link for mineral traffic from West Yorkshire coalfields to the Port of Hull; the project was partly motivated by resentment at the monopoly of the North Eastern Railway in serving Hull. The Parliamentary Bill for the H&BR had asked for wide-ranging running powers over existing railways to Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Halifax, Manchester and Liverpool, but these had all been struck out when the Act received the Royal Assent. The line was a considerable engineering project at this time, and as work progressed, it became obvious that the company was unable to raise the money it needed, and in fact it never completed its network.

E&WYUR promoted
The H&BR thought it essential to get access to Leeds for passenger traffic from Hull, and it encouraged promotion of a line from Drax, on its own main line, to Ardsley on the Great Northern Railway. The line was to cross the Midland Railway at Woodlesford and make a connection there, and also connect a colliery network at Rothwell, four miles south-east of Leeds. At Ardsley, it was hoped, running powers over the Great Northern Railway would be granted to Leeds and Bradford. The Woodlesford connection would allow for an alternative route to Leeds. Rothwell was the focus of a group of collieries owned by Henry Charlesworth of J & J Charlesworth & Co Limited; high quality stone was quarried locally as well. The Charlesworth group of collieries had connections to railways, but there was considerable attraction for them in a new direct railway to Hull docks.

The result was the Parliamentary authorisation on 2 August 1883 of the East and West Yorkshire Union Railway. The hoped-for running powers over the Midland Railway and the Great Northern Railway were refused. The main line from Drax was an ambitious project of about 30 miles of railway across difficult terrain. The E&WYUR soon found that raising the considerable capital sum for its main line was impossible, and in 1886 it got an abandonment Act. The intended line to Drax was to be abandoned, but short branch lines to Lofthouse (near Ardsley) on the GNR and Woodlesford on the Midland Railway were added (or modified), so that the proposed network was about nine miles in extent including siding complexes. Running powers from Lofthouse to Leeds Central over the GNR were requested—passenger operation was still contemplated on the abbreviated system—but these were refused.

Opening of a limited network
By November 1890 the line was nearly ready at the Ardsley end, so that some coal could come from the Rothwell collieries over the E&WYUR onto the GNR. However, there was a dispute with the GNR over the junction, and it was only resolved when the GNR were given running powers on the E&WYUR. On 19 May 1891 the line was fully open as far as Rothwell. Robin Hood Colliery was a collection point for other collieries, and GNR engines worked to and from that point; the colliery engines moved the wagons beyond that point. Considerable volumes of coal were now brought to the GNR for onward transit.

Continuously short of money for construction purposes, the E&WYUR approached the GNR in February 1892, asking it to take it over. The GNR board was willing to consider this, but was cautious about the financial commitment it would be making, and referred the matter to a sub-committee. The issue became complicated: at this time Hunslet had become a major industrial and commercial growth area, and business interests put forward a new line to the north of the E&WYUR, from Beeston to Hunslet; this group approached the GNR for support. At the same time the E&WYUR proposed an extension of its own line to Hunslet, which was to be called the South Leeds Junction Railway. The GNR considered its position on these conflicting proposals, and decided that the line from Beeston would be better, being more direct and involving less property demolition. That line became the Hunslet Railway, opened in 1899 by the Great Northern Railway. In May 1892, takeover negotiations between the GNR and the E&WYUR broke down, as the E&WYUR wanted 4% on its share capital, a demand the GNR would not meet. The Beeston to Hunslet scheme proceeded separately, and had no further connection with the E&WYUR.

Situation in 1900
An article in Railway Magazine in August 1900 describes some contemporary features:
The situation of the railway made it a rather costly line to construct, the capital expenditure being up to the present time about £250,000... The Capital expenditure includes the many yards and sidings, the extent of which nearly equals the mileage of the railway. The principal traffic... is coal and stone. The traffic is derived from seven collieries and a number of quarries working the well known Robin Hood stone, which is sent all over England for window sills and stone work of that description... The railway is in a very flourishing condition financially, having paid 1 per cent dividend on its ordinary stock for several years past...

South Leeds Junction Railway
The E&WYUR proposal for the South Leeds Junction Railway was authorised on 24 August 1893, but in a much-modified form: it was to be a two-mile line from Rothwell to sidings at Stourton, two miles west of Woodlesford, alongside the Midland Railway line. This connected in more collieries, and it opened on 6 April 1895. Considerable volumes of coal came to the GNR off the line. The South Leeds Junction Railway was worked by the E&WYUR, and it was acquired by the E&WYUR company by an Act of 2 July 1896.

Branches
A further branch was authorised on 14 December 1897 from Robin Hood to Royds Green Lower; it was authorised under the Light Railways Act of 1896, only the second line to be treated in this way. A third branch was the Thorpe Branch, which was built in 1899. The final result was a railway that had numerous small branches serving collieries in a small area. A short extension was opened on 1 November 1903 from Stourton to Stourton Junction on the Midland Railway, providing a running line connection.

Passenger trains
Workmen's services were operated on a branch from Robin Hood to Royds Green Lower, sanctioned by the light railway order, and opened by 1898.

A light railway order made on 7 June 1901 permitted the company to operate its main line as a light railway and build a new branch alongside the Pontefract-Leeds road as far as the tramway terminus at Thwaite Gate (at this stage not making a junction with the Midland Railway). The intention was to operate a passenger service in connection with the trams, but this scheme was abandoned when work started on a conventional street tramway linking Wakefield and Leeds via Stourton, with a branch to Robin Hood. Undaunted, the E&WYUR decided to compete firectly with the trams and on 4 January 1904 introduced a passenger service between Robin Hood and Leeds Wellington station. It was a disastrous failure, losing £200 per month; Sunday services were withdrawn in August 1904, and the entire service was withdrawn from 1 October of the same year, only six weeks after the opening of the rival tram route.

Suggitt remarks:
The provision... of a separate passenger service on the E&WYUR made little sense. Horse drawn wagonettes already ran to Leeds and a scheme for electric trams to Wakefield had been approved in 1902. [To enable passenger operation,] a junction with the Midland main line at Stourton had to be built, the SLJR section of track doubled, modern signalling installed, and platforms built at the three stations of Robin Hood, Rothwell and Stourton.

Operating methods
The E&WYUR had an unusual operating system: no block working was used, and only the Royds Green Lower Branch used a staff and ticket method. All train movements had to be made on a siding basis, driving at sight. Proper signalling had to be provided for the passenger service. The 1900 Railway Magazine article includes the observation that "Although the railway is worked as a single line, a large portion of it is already doubled".

The residual E&WUYR
The E&WYUR had been constructed as a domestic Charlesworth network, and only limited attempts had been made to document land ownership. In a number of cases E&WYUR lines were built on Charlesworth property; the company had purchased land from Charlesworths in 1899, but Charlesworths retained certain reservations. For some time this did not matter, but the LNER later found that it was a problematic issue.

The E&WYUR remained independent until the Grouping of the railways in 1923, when it was taken over by the London and North Eastern Railway.

After 1923
The E&WYUR lines were all closed by 3 October 1966, the line east of Rothwell had been dormant since February 1962.

A: The human brain is thought to work at a rate of a quadrillion operations per second. In 20 to 30 years, we should be able to buy desktop machines with that kind of processing power. Combine that sort of processing power with new algorithms on the horizon, and the second intelligent species will arrive soon enough. The next big breakthrough we may see is more and more intelligent AI assistants, and then generalized computer vision.
Q: One of your premises is that our automation obsession will result in millions of newly unemployed workers. Don't you think this will create a backlash?
A: Let's take big-rig truck drivers in the United States as an example. There are about 1.5 million of them, and they cost the economy more than $100 billion per year, or about $1,000 per U.S. household. Self-driving trucks will soon arrive, and all of these truck drivers will lose their jobs. Society will be happy because the price of everything will fall.
Q: Still, many find these projections unsettling. How do we convince people that technology isn't something to fear?
Q. In your capacity of teaching entrepreneurship at N.C. State, how do see your projections about technology specifically affecting the marketplace in the state?
A: It is a great time to be creating companies that leverage automation, that take advantage of exponential change, that spread via social media. It is a great time to be an entrepreneur because there are so many new technologies, and the Internet has become so ubiquitous. However, North Carolina is just like the rest. ... (Robotic companies) will unemploy millions of people.
Q. Which projects do you have for 2016?
A: I love working with student entrepreneurs, as well as entrepreneurs in the community, through my role at N.C. State. I am also working with Dr. Seth Hollar to create a new transportation system for NCSU. See http://ecoPRT.com for details. I am always writing, and am working on several books. But robots and automation will take over universities one day, too.

Is the culture behind anime translatable?
June 20, 2019 Gergana Toleva
We have all seen some of these wonderful stories like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon. In the last few decades, manga and anime have become more and more popular around the world. But how such a different culture has its message transmitted to the rest of the world? In this article, we are going to tackle and see what might be the challenges when trying to translate Anime into other languages.
Translating Japanese Language
There has always been rivalry whether an anime show should be dubbed or subtitled into another language. The result is always the same – it is very hard to achieve a suitable and clear translation using any of the two methods. The reason for that lies within the language itself not only the capability of the people who do the translation. Here are some of the reasons behind:
Transmitting Emotions
If you are not familiar with the language itself, it is hard to grasp the differences but the fans of anime know all about it. The Japanese language has specific ways to express ideas, emotions, and even concepts. In western languages, the most common way to express emotions like anger, surprise and shock are words (swear words, exclamations and etc.), while in Japanese there are grammatical rules that you use in order to achieve that. You may even hear people refer to it as a "non-swear" language.
Role language for different characters in Japanese
When it comes to anime, we are all aware of the variety of characters in different shows. That is one of the great things in this genre, right? While English tends to have the same – high-class English, different and specific words and expressions that various classes in society use, in Japanese – these are 100 times more. And we mean it – the grumpy old man, the princess, the small boy who is particularly passionate about something, the hero ready to protect others – all of them and whatever other characters you can think of has a specific language – vocabulary, nuances in the expressions, tone of voice, the way sentences are formed and so many others, that we can hardly mention them all.

Last but not least there are the differences between the cultures from the East and the West. This refers to the small things incorporated in the speech and lifestyle that are bearing messages. For example "rice balls" was translated as "doughnuts" in Pokemon for the better understanding of the message it brings. The same applies to "ramen" transmitted as "pizza" and so many others. These are only a few examples of localization for anime which is a necessary action when it comes to getting the translation right.
While translating literally would produce a decent and accurate result in most languages, the literal translation of Japanese to English is a no-go zone. It takes a lot of knowledge and efforts in both – the target and source language and cultures in order to do a good quality translation, subtitling or dubbing of an anime. There are so many variations of one and the same sentence depending on the translator's skills and knowledge. Various people can provide various translations of one and the same thing and they may all be valid and correct. The challenge comes when you have to assemble a team to do a translation of a Japanese anime show and they all have to be on the same page. Believe us, we have been there.

Pelosi vs. the Navy
By: Magnolia Tribune - July 30, 2009
One of those shuttered bases has been the subject of years of failed negotiations between San Francisco, the city Pelosi represents, and the Navy.
The two parties have been at a stalemate over Treasure Island, a Navy base that closed in 1993 and sits atop a man-made island in the San Francisco Bay that has city planners seeing dollar signs.
They have squabbled over the price. The Navy estimates it is worth $240 million; the city offered a tenth of that value.
Pelosi has personally fought and negotiated with the Navy over the land transfer, but those negotiations broke down.
Now, under the provision in the House bill, lawmakers could force the Navy to wave a white flag and accept a sweetheart deal for the city that involves no immediate payment for the land.
Instead of negotiating the value and paying the Pentagon upfront, the military services would transfer the land at no cost to local authorities for economic development. Cities and other local authorities can put off paying for that land until it is developed and the value will be determined at that point.
The Navy has appraised the cost at $240 million, while San Francisco appraised it at $14 million. The city recently commissioned an independent appraisal by auditor KPMG that concluded the value at $22 million, which the city offered to pay to the Navy. The Navy had consistently argued that the city is not offering a fair market price for the land.
It is yet unclear where the Obama administration and the new deputy undersecretary of Defense for installations, Dorothy Robyn, stand on this issue. Robyn was a senior economic adviser to the Clinton administration.
The Clinton administration pushed for the legislative authority to allow the military to have the option to do no-cost conveyances in order to spur economic redevelopment and job creation at closing military installations. The current law allows the Pentagon to choose a no-cost option.
Robyn's predecessor, Wayne Arny, a Bush appointee, made his opposition to the House provision very clear last month. Arny told a Senate Armed Services Committee last month that transferring land at no cost would reduce funding used to accelerate base closure cleanup and would be unfair to the taxpayer. Arny said that mandating no-cost transfer would only advantage some locations and effectively take money away from taxpayers.

The Power of Playing Music at Work
August 17, 2018 Maurice Bishop
I don't have much good to say about playing the same radio station everyday, but that's just for my tastes. I would gladly go without hearing brainwashing advertisements all day, and hearing the same songs everyday for that matter. What I'll be talking about here is the power of playing the music of your choice. Whether it's Spotify, Soundcloud, or YouTube playlists, playing music, especially happy music, while working at home or the workplace gives a special energy to your actions and makes the whole working process more enjoyable, overall adding to your productivity and boosting your results. Even now while I'm writing this I'm listening to "You Sexy Thing" by Martika and I'm noticing it adds an extra spring to my fingers as I type, motivating me to do my best, because I really do believe in miracles.
After listening to upbeat positive music during a full work day, compare it to a day where no music is playing and see which day was better. Some work requires acute attention and therefor playing music is not permitted, even via headphones, and that's a true shame. I can imagine how much more energy firefighters would have while putting out a fire if they played heavy metal from the fire truck for instance, but I can also imagine how that would be frowned upon by society, as if fire fighting isn't a job you should morally enjoy.
I believe people who work at home have a great benefit over office workers because they can set up any environment they want, including all-you-can-drink tea and music blaring at full volume. Construction workers also get it really good because often music is endorsed, hence early beers at the end of a long Friday. Some work requires calmness, and therefore something like sitar music or classical music is quite suitable. Listening to classical music while doing anything, even brushing your teeth, adds to the experience and makes it more memorable. I know for a fact playing music at work definitely helped this friend of mine.
For me personally I'll sometimes notice I've been working for a few hours without music playing and, after sensing something was missing, I'll say "What the heck is wrong with me?" and immediately hit up one of my favorite YouTube playlists. If you want a pointer for a good one check out this fan-made soundtrack to Guardians of the Galaxy:
And I think it's very important that the music you listen to all day isn't depressing or negative, because this will have a big impact on your subconscious thinking and you will fall into the same vibration patterns of the music, making yourself depressed, and this doesn't help work productivity, unless, of course, you're a tragic poet or a melancholy painter. At the end of the day there's a time and place for every type of music, even rap. So now I pose the ultimate question. If you work in an area that permits music and you choose not to listen to it, what is wrong with you? Now even I prefer silence sometimes, and there's plenty of music I simply can't stand to listen to for more than a single second, like most music played in the mall or mainstream radio, but that's just me.
Now you won't know what it's like to work hard with the power of music on your side until you try it, so give it a shot. Try a funky disco playlist or a classic rock playlist, whatever suites your steez. And until next time, thanks for visiting. Have a great day! Lastly, for your benefit, here's another favorite YouTube playlist of mine. It'll rock your day!
Oh yeah, let's boogy on down to work, ya'll!

The thesis of Kamila du Plessis-Rosłoniec describes activities of four bacterial steroid-induced cytochrome P450 enzymes in terms of their potential biotechnological use for steroid transformations by engineered Rhodococcus strains into commercially interesting compounds. Three selected rhodococcal P450 enzymes were characterized by her by means of microbiological, genetic, biochemical, spectroscopic and chromatographical methods. Two sterol C26-hydroxylases were shown to be important for 3-hydroxysterol degradation. The role of the novel dextromethorphan N-demethylase in sterol metabolism was analysed. Furthermore, heterologous production of a mutated P450 enzyme from Bacillus megaterium was described in an engineered Rhodococcus strain. The activity of the biocatalyst on 4-androstene-3,17-dione was identified as 16β-hydroxylase by 1H and 13C NMR. The detailed characterization of the cytochrome P450 enzymes, described in the thesis of Du Plessis, provides insight into the catabolic repertoire of Rhodococcus strains, necessary for engineering of steroid catabolic pathways for production of valuable pharmaceuticals.
