'El Millón' of Euromillions plays for the second time in three months in a Velez-Malaga administration
For the second time in just three months, the goddess fortune has knocked on the doors of the administration of Loterías number 2 of Vélez-Málaga, called Santa Teresa and located in the central Alcalde José Herrera street. After a 'El Millón' ticket from the Euromillions draw was sealed last February 21, this Saturday, just five days after the draws were resumed after the coronavirus pandemic, this same office has been the grace of again with this award in the draw held last night. As it happened three months ago, the lotteries, the brothers Adela and José Antonio Anaya, at noon this Saturday did not yet know who is the lucky one with this millionaire prize, which discou
"It has to be someone from Vélez-Málaga or from the province, because right now you cannot come from outside Málaga with phase 1 of the de-escalation," said Adela, 54, daughter of the first person in charge of this administration of Lotteries, opened in 1980. "It is not that I do not want to say it for reasons of confidentiality, it is that we really do not know", he added while he continued to greet customers who in a continuous movement entered and left the small premises, respecting the shifts and the safe distances at the door. "It has been a great joy, it is an enormous coincidence that we have given this same award again, just three months later and j
'El Millón' raffles only one million euros in Spain among all the bets that participate in the EuroMillions draws of the week (Tuesday and Friday). Therefore, every week there is a new millionaire in Spain. This draw is framed in the Euromillions this Friday, in which the winning combination has been formed by the numbers 18, 22, 32, 3 and 27. The stars have been 2 and 7 .. No winning tickets have been registered first category (five hits plus two stars) or second (five plus one), while third category, with five hits, there are 13 guesses, five of them in Spain, who will charge 55,708.21 euros each.
Of these five winners, one has been registered in the receiving office number 22,550 in La Línea de la Concepción (Cádiz), while the other four are located in the Barcelona municipalities of Centelles and Begues, as well as in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Requena (Valencia). The collection of the draw has amounted to 44,981,783 euros. In the draw on Tuesday May 26, the EuroMillions jackpot could reach 37 million euros.
"We hope to continue giving prizes, because they have been two hard months, locked up at home and unable to work," said Adela, who stressed that in this first week in which the Lottery draws have resumed "there has been quite a lot of movement »In his administration. "It is probable that the lucky person has not yet realized it and if he has, he plans to go directly to a bank on Monday," argued the Vela loter, who stressed that with these two millionaire prizes they are recovering a path of fortune after four years of drought. Not surprisingly, the last major prize, before these two, had been given in October 2016 with a Joker of 10,000 euros.
In the history of important prizes of this administration of the capital of the Axarquía they have accumulated close to twenty. Thus, since 1988 the most outstanding have been one of 3,907,948 euros from La Primitiva in June 1993 and another of 2,665,552 from the Bono Loto in July 2002. In May 2004, a prize pool was sealed with 426,512 euros. He also distributed the second prize of the 2014 Children's Draw and a graceful ticket with the third prize of the Christmas Lottery in 2011.

Trimeric sodium channels of the DEG/ENaC family have important roles in
May 22, 2017 Beth Moore Leave a comment
Trimeric sodium channels of the DEG/ENaC family have important roles in neurons, but the specific functions of different subunits present in heteromeric channels are poorly understood. targeted expression of in the subset of gustatory neurons in which functions. However, and have nonredundant functions, as targeted expression of does not compensate for the lack of and males towards females presents a Olmesartan unique opportunity for understanding pheromonal control of a complex behavior at all levels, from the molecular events underlying specific chemosensory detection of pheromones, to the neuronal circuitry that integrates multiple signals, and ultimately controls behavior (Billeter et al., 2006; Villella and Hall, 2008; Siwicki and Kravitz, 2009; Dahanukar and Ray, 2011; Dauwalder, 2011). The advantages of as a model organism have resulted in a sophisticated understanding of the general mechanisms involved in both taste and smell (Dahanukar and Ray, 2011), as well as the genetic control and brain circuitry underlying male courtship (Billeter et al., 2006; Villella and Hall, 2008; Siwicki and Kravitz, 2009). Furthermore, the chemical structure of a number of pheromones that either stimulate or inhibit male courtship (Ferveur, 2005), and the receptors and neurons involved in both olfactory and gustatory modulation of courtship have been described (Ha and Smith, 2006; Kurtovic et al., 2007; van der Goes van Naters and Carlson, 2007; Rabbit polyclonal to CDH2.Cadherins comprise a family of Ca2+-dependent adhesion molecules that function to mediatecell-cell binding critical to the maintenance of tissue structure and morphogenesis. The classicalcadherins, E-, N- and P-cadherin, consist of large extracellular domains characterized by a series offive homologous NH2 terminal repeats. The most distal of these cadherins is thought to beresponsible for binding specificity, transmembrane domains and carboxy-terminal intracellulardomains. The relatively short intracellular domains interact with a variety of cytoplasmic proteins,such as b-catenin, to regulate cadherin function. Members of this family of adhesion proteinsinclude rat cadherin K (and its human homolog, cadherin-6), R-cadherin, B-cadherin, E/P cadherinand cadherin-5. Miyamoto and Amrein, 2008; Grosjean et al., 2011; Wang et al., 2011). Activation of courtship behavior involves both olfaction and taste, but while loss of olfaction decreases male courtship by approximately two-fold (Stockinger et al., 2005; Krstic et al., 2009), males with impaired gustatory function display almost no courtship of females (Krstic et al., 2009). However, the neuronal circuitry and molecular mechanisms involved in gustatory activation of courtship have remained elusive. Recently, we reported that and in a common subset of gustatory neurons in legs and wings, indicating that each of these subunits has a unique, nonredundant role. Furthermore, Ppk25 and Nope form specific complexes when co-expressed in cultured cells, suggesting that they also interact in the subset of gustatory neurons in which they are coexpressed. These data provide further evidence that a Olmesartan specific subset of gustatory neurons is required to activate male courtship, support a critical role for DEG/ENaC channels in these neurons, and suggest that Ppk25 and Nope are subunits of a common heteromeric channel required for gustatory activation of male courtship in response to female pheromones. Materials and Olmesartan Methods Generation of the and transgenes and immunostaining The construct was generated by cloning a 3020 bp fragment upstream of the start codon flanked by PmeI and BglII sites into a derivative of the pPCaSpeR-4 vector (Qian et al., 1991; Starostina et al., 2012) digested with PmeI and BamHI. In the resulting construct, the ATG is fused in frame with the coding sequences of the yeast transcriptional activator Gal4, followed by SV40 polyadenylation sequences obtained from the vector (Brand and Dormand, 1995). Transgenic lines for were generated using standard procedures for random integration of and cDNAs were generated from RNA extracted from male front legs. Either the full-length 1496 bp cDNA, or a 5 nucleotides shorter form in which intron 10 was spliced out using an alternative 5 splice site, was cloned into (Bischof et al., 2007) and integrated by Bestgene Inc. (Chino Hills, CA) using site-specific integration at the locus on chromosome 3 (Bischof et al., 2007; Markstein et al., 2008). Immunostaining was performed as described in (Starostina et al., 2012) based on a previous report (Laissue et al., 1999). Rabbit anti-GFP (Invitrogen, Carslbad, CA) was used at a dilution of 1 1:200, and anti-nc82 (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, supported by the NICHD at the University of Iowa) at a dilution of 1 1:40. Sequence analysis Unannotated Nope orthologs were initially identified in most species by searching genomic sequences using TBLASTN (Johnson et al., 2008). Analysis of the corresponding genomic sequences yielded predicted spliced transcripts encoding proteins with extensive similarity to Nope throughout their sequence, confirming that they are likely Nope orthologs (our unpublished data). Sequences encoding Nope orthologs in and overlap putative annotated genes and respectively. Sequence alignments were performed using ClustalW (Larkin et al., 2007), and displayed using the Boxshade 3.21 server at http://www.ch.embnet.org/. Cell transfection and co-immunoprecipitation cDNAs encoding full-length Ppk25 and Nope were cloned into pCMV5 with carboxy-terminal 3xFlag.

Spoken Latin, used in end of Classical period. we don't have any texts in it. Knowledge is reconstructed from various sources (romance languages descend from this type of Latin).
Languages that descend from Vulgar Latin (street Latin). Most familiar: Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Rumanian, Catalan, Provencal.
dropping a syllable in a word. Happened all the time going from Latin to Romance languages.
distinct morphological forms of a word. It is what happened when the romance languages were forming. a lot of cases merged into one. Word order became really important once you lose your case distinction ("man bites dog/dog bites man"). Cant just change ending on a noun/verb. More and more prepositions were being used.
First of the texts that have a Grammarian editing Latin. Grammatical works by Probus, this is tacked on at the end in an appendix. A couple hundred little corrections by this grammarian. "X non Y"→ X is correct, Y is incorrect.
8th century: Vulgate Bible with marginal notes of the meaning of certain words. Latin translation of Bible. Words were picked out that were found difficult and wrote out what he would have used the words for. Most closely resembles an early version of French.
1453 AD; Started after Renaissance: newfound love of Classical latin, what has been written since. Resembles Classical Latins, wasn't pure Classical because new technology and events had led to new vocab. NEOOOO…bananananana…SPORIN…banaNA! Over time, teachings and writings of Erasmus and others, feeling was if you are going to write in Latin, you have to do it well.
Swedish doctor/botanist who wrote all his works in Latin. Scientifically classified the living world using binomial nomenclature. Began with the publishing of Systema Natvrae (system of nature- 12000 species).
Simple Latin system developed by Linnaeus to identify the living world to replace the old system with long words that were cumbersome and hard to remember. Concise label for any organism. Seems fancy now but in his day, B.N. was just simple, concise Latin.
The Indo-Iranian language group constitutes the easternmost extant branch of the Indo-European family of languages. It consists of three language groups: the Indo-Aryan, Iranian and Nuristani.
Comes from Indo-Iranian. Synonymous to Indic. Comes from Sanskrit work "arya"– means noble or honorable. Self designation of ancient Indic and Iranian peoples (Iran is land of Aryans). Leads to Sanskrit.
The Indo-Iranians were the most ancient known speakers of Indo-European languages, the word Aryan was adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian people, but also to Indo-European speakers as a whole.
Not from Northern Europe with blonde hair and blue eyes like Nazis said.
(1200 BC)- sacred text, collection of hymns to various gods.
language of the rigveda. it is an archaic form of Sanskrit, an early descendant of Proto-Indo-Iranian. It is closely related to Avestan, the oldest preserved Iranian language.
one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. The epic is part of the Hindu "history", and forms an important part of Hindu mythology.
One of the longest epics composed. 10 times longer than Iliad and Odyssey combined!!
refers to the broad family of the Indo Aryan languages and dialects spoken in ancient India after Sanskrit. The Prakrits became literary languages. Prakrit is foremost a native term, designating "vernaculars" as opposed to Sanskrit.
The Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) is the common ancestor of the Indo-European languages, spoken by the Proto-Indo-Europeans.
an English philologist and student of ancient India, particularly known for his proposition of the existence of a relationship among Indo-European languages. First to observe that Sanskrit resembled Latin and Greek.
Named after town Iguvium discovered in the year 1444, bronze tablets actually found nine but claimed to have lost 2 during transfer to museum. Written in Umbrian, consists of instructions about how to conduct religious rituals. Biggest piece of evidence about how Native Italian religion was practiced.
language in Italian area. very interesting example of the breakthrough we are making in understand the script. Originally assumed South Picene was separated by interpuncts (dots to separate words), but only a few decades ago did we realize that only the triple dot was a space. Single dot meant "o" and a double dot meant "f". Suddenly we are able to read the stuff (not perfectly). Words pairs are alliteration, native Italian poetry. Appears that there are 7 syllables in each line.
Language further South than Umbrian. Loose assortment of people that we don't know too much about. Most famous cuty was Pompei. Reads from R→L things that looks like R is actually a D and D is actually an R.
extinct Italic language formerly spoken by the Umbri in the ancient Italian region of Umbria. It is closely related to Oscan. Similar to Latin, also derived from Etruscan alphabet.
The term is most commonly used to refer to the people and languages of what is now Italy from the historic period before the Roman Empire. Italic languages come from Indo-European and includes the romance languages.
a technique used by linguists to demonstrate genetic relationships between languages. It aims to prove that two or more historically attested languages are descended from a single hypothethical proto-language by comparing lists of cognate terms.
are the similarities due to chance, universal, etc. If you can exclude all of the below reasons for similarity, they are probably related languages.
a language which was the common ancestor of related languages that form a language family. assumptions about the proposed language are usually based on comparative method.
a word in different languages that have the same origin and often represent the same thing . You can compare the cognate set across different languages to determine if they are related.
German, early/mid 19th century, a linguist. He got very interested in history of German languages, then other related languages. One of first people to do systematic comparisons.
a set of statements describing the inherited Proto-Indo-European stops as they developed in Proto-Germanic.
established regular correspondence between germanic stops and other indo-european stops.
-Proto-Indo-European voiceless stops change into voiceless fricatives.
-Proto-Indo-European voiced stops become voiceless stops.
-Proto-Indo-European voiced aspirated stops become voiced fricatives; ultimately, in most Germanic languages these voiced fricatives become voiced stops.
historical name given to the part of Great Britain in which the laws of the Danes dominated those of the Anglo-Saxons.
The origins of the Danelaw arose from the Viking expansion of the 9th century, although the term was not used to describe a geographic area until the 11th century.
Danelaw is also used to describe the set of legal terms and definitions created in the treaties between the English king, Alfred the Great, and the Danish warlord, Guthrum the Old.
any process of language change that affect pronunciation or phonological change. can be the replacement of one speech sound by another, the complete loss of the affected sound, and rarely the introduction of a new sound in a place where there previously was none.
A vowel change, characteristic of Indo-European languages, that accompanies a change in grammatical function.
father of English literature, credited as first author to demonstrate the artistic legitimacy of the vernacular English language, rather than French or Latin. best known for being will's butler.
wrote The Canterbury Tales, translated important works.
wrote in continental accentual-syllabic metre, a style which had developed since around the twelfth century as an alternative to the alliterative Anglo-Saxon metre.
major change in the pronunciation of the English language that took place in the south of England between 1200 and 1600.
first studied by Otto Jespersen (1860–1943), a Danish linguist and Anglicist, who coined the term.
one of the historical events marking the separation of Middle and Modern English.
responsible for many of the peculiarities of English spelling.
two highest long vowels became diphthongs, and the other five underwent an increase in tongue height with one of them coming to the front.
norsemen: speak one of the North Germanic languages as their native language. people from "the north" (primarily Nordic people originating from southern and central Scandinavia).
viking: word disappeared in Middle English, and was reintroduced as Viking during 18th century Romanticism (the "Viking revival").
adrian peterson, gus frerotte, etc.
concerned with the identification and removal of transcription errors in the texts of manuscripts.
Ancient scribes often made errors or alterations when copying manuscripts by hand.
Given a manuscript copy, several or many copies, but not the original document, the textual critic seeks to reconstruct the original text as closely as possible.
critical and primary source material that accompanies an edition of a text. A critical apparatus is often a by-product of textual criticism.
"family tree", which shows the relationships of the surviving witnesses, and a possible archetype.
original edition of a particular work, written or dictated by the author. It is the earliest copy from which all later copies are ultimately descended (it may not be the latest copy from which the manuscripts descend).
act of writing once what should be written twice. For example, the English word idolatry, the worship of idols, comes from the Greek eidololatreia, but one syllable has been lost through haplography.
normal punctuation mark for a declarative sentence in English is a period. However, if a declarative sentence ends with a word that is abbreviated with a period (e.g., etc., Ltd., or Inc.), the sentence-final punctuation mark is omitted.
an entry or passage in a text that was not written by the original author. As there are often several generations of copies between an extant copy of an ancient text and the original, each handwritten by different scribes, there is a natural tendency for extraneous material to be inserted into such documents over time.
the accidental, erroneous act of repeating a word, phrase or combination of letters by a scribe or copyist.
"harder reading". in textual reconstruction, the idea that, of two alternative manuscript readings, the one whose meaning is less obvious is less likely to be a copyist's alteration, and therefore should be given precedence.
point of significant corruption in a literary text. More serious than a simple slip of the pen or typographical error, a crux (probably deriving from Latin crux interpretum = "crossroad of interpreters") is difficult or impossible to interpret and resolve.
A palimpsest is a manuscript page, whether from scroll or book that has been written on, scraped off, and used again.
main language spoken under Alfred the Great. an early form of the English language that was spoken and written in parts of what are now England and south-eastern Scotland between the mid-5th century and the mid-12th century. What survives through writing represents primarily the literary register of Anglo-Saxon.
Romance language. The Norse settled in Normandy. Began speaking this early Norman language with many words borrowed from Norse. Invaded England. People living there only knew Latin and French. Norman French was used in court and formally. After 200 years of Norman reign, many French words made their way into English.
the diverse forms of the English language spoken during the Norman invasion (1066-1470)ish. Unlike Old English, there were many forms of Middle English.
-Inference or judgment based on inconclusive or incomplete evidence; guesswork.
in textual criticism, when the manuscript doesnt make sense, the attempt to imagine what the author actually wrote and write that instead.
umm when a manuscript is contaminated?
Second Ptolemaic king of Egypt. Ptolemy established house of muses, where the Library of Alexandria was established. Before it was established it was still intended to be a center of learning. He wanted to have the biggest collection of manuscripts. He hired people to go around collecting literature.
Was once the largest library of the ancient world. The first known library of its kind to gather a serious collection of books from beyond its country's borders, the Library at Alexandria was charged with collecting all the world's knowledge. It did so through an aggressive and well-funded royal mandate involving trips to book fairs across the world.
also created by Ptolemy. Rather than simply a museum in the sense that has developed since the Renaissance, it was an institution that brought together some of the best scholars work. No sculptures or paintings but lots of music, poetry, and sacred texts.
(200-100 BC) librarian of Alexandria, basically produced the texts of Homer that came down to us. Librarians had mission of going through all the copies of it and finding out what the original really was. he was a GRAMMARIAN!
archaeological site in upper egypt (south of cairo). considered one of the most important arch sites. lots of papyrus texts found there from the Ptolemic and Roman periods of Egypt.
a reed crossed perpendicularly, made scrolls out of them, almost always only written on one side. an average of 20 feet long. downside: had to roll it to find your spot.
Rival library of the library of Alexandria. Small kingdom in Asia Minor.
-Name of city Pergamum is where our word parchment comes from .
Wasn't until Christian era when parchment made rise. Thin material made from animal skin. Used for pages of codex.
a manuscript page, whether from scroll or book that has been written on, scraped off, and used again. most palimpsests are found on parchment.
mammal skin prepared for writing or printing on single pages, scrolls, codices or books. It is generally thin, smooth and durable, although there are great variations depending on preparation, the quality of the skin, and the type of animal. wetted and dried to create tension.
only practical for note taking and administrative purposes. made from wood covered with wax.
a book in the format used for modern books, with separate pages normally bound together and given a cover. It was a Roman invention that replaced the scroll. You can write on both sides of the leaves (maybe not on early papyrus codexs) normally made of parchment.
a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. Revival of learning based on classical sources.
one of the most important Italian humanists–big player in rennaisance. He recovered a great number of classical texts, mostly lying forgotten in German and French monastic libraries, and disseminated copies among the educated world.
humanist and classical scholar. Guiding light of textual criticism study, refined methods to today's methods. wrote in "pure Latin" style. Using humanist techniques he prepared important new Latin and Greek editions of the New Testament.
a member of the European intellectual movement beginning in Florence in the last decades of the 14th century during the Renaissance. The humanist movement developed from the rediscovery by European scholars of many Latin and Greek texts. Originally meant someone who taught Latin but became much more than that: grammar, morality, etc.
1766-1045 BC. ruled region called "china proper". direct info from oracle bones, first significant corpus of recorded Chinese characters.
pieces of bone or turtle shell heated and cracked during divination, chiefly during the late Shang, and then typically inscribed with a record of the divination, in what is known as oracle bone script. The oracle bones are the earliest known significant corpus of ancient Chinese writing, and contain important historical information such as the complete royal genealogy of the Shang dynasty. These records confirmed the existence of the Shang dynasty, which some scholars, until then, had doubted ever existed.
part of a Chinese character under which it is indexed in a dictionary (section headers). some have applied the term radical not to the original root of a character, but to any portion bearing meaning. Portion of Chinese character with semantic element.
ancient type of Chinese dictionary used for writing poetry or other genre requiring rhymes. It collates characters by rime and tone, instead of radical. The first extant rime dictionary is Qieyun from the Sui Dynasty (Middle Chinese).
Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese logographic writing system along with kana scripts, Arabic numerals, and the occasional use of the Latin alphabet. The Japanese term kanji literally means "Han characters". In modern Japanese, kanji are used to write parts of the language such as nouns, adjective stems and verb stems. 80,000+ characters. More formal than kana system.
fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. Best remembered for creating the Korean alphabet hangul, despite strong opposition from the scholars educated in hanja (Chinese script). presided over the introduction of the 28 letters of the Korean alphabet in order that Koreans from all classes could read and write. He also attempted to establish a cultural identity of his people through a unique script. First published in 1446, anyone could learn hangul in a matter of days. It was banned under the Japanese occupation.
At its peak, it was one of the most densely populated and culturally dynamic societies in the world. Known for their early and complete written language system.
Maya writing used logograms complemented by a set of syllabic glyphs, somewhat similar in function to modern Japanese writing. Look similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs but not at all related.
A Russian linguist and ethnographer who played a major role in deciphering the Maya script. He figured out that it was in fact a syllabary not an alphabet. He also determined that like, cuneiform and Egyptian heiroglyphs, there was also a phonetic component to the language.
ancient Mayan book that is thought to be the oldest written in the Americas. The pages were made from fig-bark. Contained an almanac, astrological tables, religious practices, etc.
A Cherokee Indian who invented the Cherokee syllabary in the early 1800's.
Relatively undeciphered language from 3000 BC. Most likely direct predecessor of Linear Elamite. Used before the introduction of Elamite cuneiform.
Only 22 known documents in Linear Elamite. Still undeciphered and unsure if it came directly from proto-Elamite. Some object are bilingual with Akkadian script as well.
Part of Ancient India. One of the worlds three earliest civilizations along with Egypt and Mesopotamia. Located in current Pakistan/India.
"mound of the dead" one of the largest, very developed city-settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization. built around 2600 BC. rediscovered in 1922 AD, many artifacts found.
Syllabary used in Crete before Linear B around 1900-1800 BC or earlier. Linear A is far from being totally deciphered but it is partially understood and it may be read through Linear B values, although graphic similarities between two scripts do not necessarily imply a linguistic unit.
Undeciphered system of writing or proto-writing discovered on the Polynesian island of Easter Island. Could be one of the few independent inventions of writing in the history of the world. Only 2 dozen wooden inscriptions, not in great condition.
created by Jerome and meant to be more accessible to common people in language and such. Completed around 405 CE. Quite different from Septuagint mainly because the Hebrew originals were different and Sep. translating was poor. Vulgate became standard Latin translation of Bible and used for long time after.
The Jewish Bible: Torah. The founding religious document of Judaism. Separated into 5 books.
It is the oldest of the four sources of the Torah, whose narratives make up half of Genesis and the first half of Exodus, plus fragments of Numbers. God is referred to in human-like ways and called YHWH. Many similarities with Elohist.
Another one of the 4 sources of the Torah. God is referred to as Elohim and is less human-like than YHWH god.
One of the sources of the Torah. God seems much more distant and punishing–"Old Testament God". Big emphasis on genealogy.
After destruction of Jewish temple by the Romans, there was a need for an authoritative version of Jewish scriptures because many documents were destroyed. The Masoretes were Jewish priests, scholars and scribes who set out using the versions they had to create an authoritative version and called it the Masoretic text.
The authoritative version of Jewish scriptures that was created by Masoretes.
First 3 books of the New Testament.
An italic language. There are two varieties of latin: Classical latin, the literary dialect used in poetry and prose and Vulgar latin, the form of the language spoken by ordinary people. The Romance languages evolved from Latin.
Lived during the Archaic Latin period from (254-184) He wrote plays of which 20 survived. He was one of the the largest and earliest writers of the latin, as he had a significant amount of lines. He was a good source of info about early latin and he wrote comedies, which showed how they actually spoke not just how people wrote.
An extinct language formerly spoken in the ancient italian region of Umbria. It is closely related to Oscan. Umbrian is known from a small amount of inscriptions, the largest being the Iguvine Tables.
Set of 7 bronze tables that were discovered in a town called Iguvium, Italy in the year 1444. They are written in Umbrian and include instructions on how to perform religious rituals directed at set of religious brothers. They are they are large source which shows how native Italic religious was performed. It is a monoligual inscription and almost all we have of the Umbrian language.
An extinct Italic language. The decipherment of S. Picene was in 1987. They were finally able to translate it after figuring out the interpuncts. Interpuncts are a system of dots. They had originally thought all the dots were just interpuncts and had no other meaning. But they realized that only triple dots were really interpuncts and that a single dot was really an o and a double dot was an F.
Closely related to South Picene. The Oscan were a loose assortment of people and we don't have much about their culture, politics ect… but the language is decently known. Found a large number of instructions in Pampay which was their most important city. You read Oscan right to left, and there letter have flipped values. Ex. R=D and D=R.

Help Sheet - Advocacy: is it for you?
The Takeaway: Many people think that the most effective way to assist the disadvantaged and achieve social change is through the reform of public policy rather than the provision of services. For grantmakers, this means undertaking advocacy, or funding others to undertake advocacy. Either approach carries certain risks and challenges.
Advocacy as advancing an idea, arguing a position, or enriching a debate (as suggested by GrantCraft in Advocacy Funding: The Philanthropy of Changing Minds).
While some may question whether advocacy is a legitimate charitable activity, the Australian High Court's 2010 Aid Watch decision made it clear that it is legitimate for charities to advocate as a means of meeting their objectives and that philanthropy can fund charities' advocacy. An entity can be charitable if it has a purpose of generating public debate with a view to influencing legislation, government activities or government policies.
Long-term and effective change usually takes significant time and resources.
You need to be prepared to be criticised.
You need to be prepared to take risks.
You need to understand your organisation's philosophy, which will help you determine which issues you want to support.
Many people think that the most effective way to assist the disadvantaged and achieve social change is through the reform of public policy rather than the provision of services.
A study by the US National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP), Leveraging Limited Dollars, found that every dollar invested in advocacy provided a $115 return in benefit.
Another NCRP report, Strengthening Democracy, Increasing Opportunities, calculated $157 in benefits per dollar invested in advocacy and organising groups.
Diverse networks (often with direct access to decision makers).
You might feel strongly that by funding others' advocacy you are keeping issues at arm's length, but it is likely that there will be at least some critics out there who won't see you as impartial. You risk being perceived as biased.
You may face opposition or resistance to your message and to your organisation. Grantcraft's Advocacy Funding outlines strategies for dealing with this, including acknowledging the possibility of controversy; balancing confrontation and negotiation (sometimes it is best to confront opposition head-on); bracing yourself in advance; gathering allies who understand the territory and will stand by you; and persistence in educating and engaging.
Whether the funder or the grantee is willing and able to accept the publicity (and controversy) that can result from advocacy work.
There is a temptation to favour the funding of direct aid because the rules covering "acceptable" forms of advocacy can be confusing. Changemakers Australia produced a guide called Funding Advocacy for Social Change: Clarifying the Rules for Grantmakers to help.
GrantCraft's Advocacy Funding: The Philanthropy of Changing Minds suggests seven methods of advocacy that can be used by grantees or grantmakers or both: research; constituency organising and mobilisation; making current advocates more effective; forming and sustaining coalitions; using media to reach the right audiences; litigation; and direct approaches to policymakers.
You don't need to limit yourself to providing funds. See the capacity building help sheet for suggestions.
Do grantee staff have the experience and judgement required to understand when an advocacy effort is likely to succeed, and be an effective investment of time and funds?
Do staff skills reflect the range needed (including involvement in politics, community organising, etc)?
Does the organisation educate its staff and grantees about advocacy, and develop their skills?

The Church of San Andrés (Spanish: Iglesia de San Andrés) is a Catholic church located in the city of Toledo, in Castile-La Mancha, Spain. The building is of medieval origin, and as is common in this city, is a mix of different styles. It is protected by the heritage listing Bien de Interés Cultural.

Architecture
The architecture includes examples of Mudéjar, Gothic  and Baroque styles, the last as a result of a remodeling of the 17th century. After the last restoration traceries appeared in the facade that evoke the eclecticism of the crossing. A Visigothic relief and two Visigothic pilasters was also discovered.

As the most of the Mudéjar churches in Toledo, it presents a simple aspect.
Its main entrance, unique in Toledo, is in Almohad style bearing uncommon small green ceramic in columns on the door. The capitals are Visigothic. Its mosque past is being represented by a funeral pilaster.

During the 16th century its solid late Gothic head was added, with exterior buttresses that compensate for the considerable change in height, while its interior features a vault and palm arch ribs with honeycomb work in the transept naves.

Mummies
In the crypt of this church are 60 mummies of infants, dukes, nuns and people of popular classes, in a good state of preservation and available for the public to view.

A Treatment of Violaceae for the Flora of Chiapas.
Chiapas, the southernmost state of Mexico, has land elevations ranging from sea level to 4000 m and annual rainfall varying regionally from less than 75 cm to more than 500 cm. In his introduction to the Flora of Chiapas, Breedlove described 19 vegetational formations distributed over seven physiographic regions in the state. Violaceae (the violet family) worldwide include 18--25 genera with 850--900 species. The three largest genera (highest numbers of species) are found in Chiapas: Viola (525--600 species worldwide) with 5 species in Chiapas, 3 native and 2 introduced; Rinorea, a pantropical genus (ca. 200 species worldwide) with 2 species in Chiapas, and Hybanthus (100--125 species worldwide) with 10 species in Chiapas, including one that is endemic. The remaining two genera of Violaceae in Chiapas have distributions limited to southern Mexico, Central America, and northern South America with few species per genus: Orthion with 6 species (3 in Chiapas), and Corynostylis with 4 species (1 in Chiapas). Most species of Violaceae occur in tropical or subtropical regions worldwide. In Chiapas, Violaceae are reported from six of the seven physiographic regions recognized as present in Chiapas and from a dozen vegetational formations. They are found near sea level through elevations of 3600 m. Members of Violaceae, both within the family and within Chiapas, range from small herbs to tall trees. They bear actinomorphic corollas (species of Rinorea) to strongly zygomorphic corollas (Corynostylis and Viola). The violet family, the five genera, and each species native to or naturalized in Chiapas are described, using morphological features; species and genera distributions over the physiogeographic regions and within vegetative formations are noted.

Burnley behind only Leeds United in the Premier League's most overachieving squads

Transfer windows have been fairly lifeless for Burnley supporters of late and statistics have proven that the Clarets are punching above their weight with the second best value for money squad in the Premier League.
Sean Dyche's outfit overcame a difficult start to the 2020/21 campaign to navigate away from relegation trouble and secure their Premier League status for a sixth consecutive season.
It's been far from easy; a relatively small squad impacted severely by injuries and the minimal investment to enhance the playing staff at Turf Moor in recent windows mean it's important that Burnley are active this summer to ensure another successful campaign in the top flight.
Last season only Fulham's (£81.6 million) squad cost less to assemble than Burnley's (£82.6m), while at the very top it's Manchester City - somewhat unsurprisingly - who have the most expensive squad collection, totalling £810.9m.
So in terms of value for money, Burnley rank second in the Premier League, only behind Leeds United.
Marcelo Bielsa's side cost his club a total of just £118.8m in transfer fees to assemble, going by reported fees at the time of signing. Despite the minimal outlay, Leeds managed to finish ninth in the league last season, sandwiched in between Arsenal, whose squad cost £399.3m, and Everton, whose cost £361.1m.
The following table is determined by the cost of squad assembly divided by the number of points earned during the 2020/21 Premier League campaign.
Squad // £ per point
Leeds United - £2,013,559
Burnley - £2,117,949
West Ham United - £2,777,692
Fulham - £2,914,286
Crystal Palace - £3,405,909
West Bromwich Albion - £3,603,846
Brighton & Hove Albion - £3,624,390
Southampton - £3,687,209
Aston Villa - £4,200,909
Newcastle United - £4,291,111
Leicester City - £4,314,394
Sheffield United - £5,247,826
Wolverhampton Wanderers - £5,299,556
Tottenham Hotspur - £6,037,097
Everton - £6,119,492
Arsenal - £6,546,557
Liverpool - £7,530,435

Male Actor Transforms Himself into Female Celebrities Using Makeup and Wigs
By Sumitra on October 13th, 2014 Category: Pics
31-year-old actor and TV host Paolo Ballesteros specialises in transforming himself into female celebrities from around the world – including Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts and more. Believe it or not, there's no Photoshop involved; Paolo uses only wigs, makeup, and colored contact lenses to complete the stunning transformations.
Paolo is the host of a popular TV show in the Philippines called Eat Bulaga. His transformations actually started as a segment on the show Super Sereyna, where he would surprise audiences with his mind blowing makeup skills. Paolo revealed that he is self-taught – he learned to apply makeup by watching YouTube tutorials, and he does it all by himself.
To completely change one's appearance is no mean feat, and it takes him hours of painstaking effort to recreate these popular female icons. Although he can do almost any celebrity, his favorites are Angelina Jolie and Mariah Carey. "Angelina is very easy to do," he explained. "I put big lips and I look like her already."
"But my favorite is Mariah Carey. With Angelina, she is beautiful, but Mariah performs."
He also posts 'before' and 'after' pictures of each of his transformations on his official Instagram account, where thousands of followers express their awe of the fact that he can be so handsome and pretty at the same time.
Paolo has refused to reveal his own sexual preference, but he is popular for having played gay characters on TV. "I'm not hiding anything," he insisted in a 2013 interview. "What you see is what you get. Now, if you're asking if I'm gay, I'll say no. It's up to you to be confused."

Basketball Points Off Turnovers
Basketball Points Off Turnovers:
by Prof. Roberto Azar - December 13th., 2011
Preliminaries:
" We have a turnover when your team has the ball, and you lose it to the other team. A turnover can come in the form of a stolen pass, a pass that you throw out of bounds, it can be where they steal the ball away from your dribbler, it can be where you have a player stand in the paint for over three seconds, etc. ..."
Basketball Points off Turnovers are the points given by our TO or made by the turnovers forced to the opponent.
Forcing turnovers is great, but you have to score points when you get those extra chances !
The eBA Stats System records the Points off Turnovers in those two senses."
• About the Points Off Turnovers Concept
More of the third of all regular season games played, are "decided by" points off turnovers. When we Analyze a Basketball game and it is said here that turnover scores were the "deciding factor" in a game, eBA System means that the turnover points led to one team wining the game and the other losing, and without such turnovers, the won-lost result have been switched.
Points are attributable to turnovers in one of two ways - directly or indirectly. By "directly" leading to a score, eBA System mean that a fumble recovery or interception was returned for a fast break attack, and a score in the first 4/6 seconds of the shooting clock ( see the Shot Clock ).
Consequently, by "indirectly" leading to points, we mean that a fumble recovery or interception return immediately led to a set offense play which culminated in a field goal in the second sequence of the shooting clock, after 6/8 seconds play till 24; the turnover did not produce any points in and of itself, but the opponent team did score on the ensuing offensive play.
• About the Concept:
"Points off Turnovers are the points given by our TO or made by the turnovers forced to the opponent.
Forcing turnovers is great, but you have to score points when you get those extra chances!
• Discussion:
The Price of a Turnover - When a team perpetrate a turnover, a turnover is registered by the statistician. Following the game, on the next opponent possession, if the opponent scores, the regular statistical systems credits that opponent with a "point off a turnover" without regard to the type of turnover.
Case 1 – A1 steals the ball and dunks it on the other end, the Team B is credited for two "points off of turnovers".
Case 2 - B1 throws the ball out of bounds on offense, called a timeout, and then forced the Team A to use the entire shot clock before an A1 last-second jump shot score. Team B is also credited for two "points turnovers".
I don't understand that both these plays would be scored as two points off of turnovers, because only in one of them - the first case - did the scoring in accordance with fact result in a forthright manner from the turnover.
"Points off of turnovers" is thus, as taken by standard statistics systems, a deceptive statistic. This is why some coaches do not trust on the "points off turnovers" statistic to determine the price of turnovers to the team. On the contrary, they concentrate on the real prices of turnovers, which are double:
1 - The large price of a turnover is that the team who turned the ball over fail to keep an offensive scoring opportunity. The most significant price of perpetrating a turnover is the losing of an offensive scoring opportunity and not the opponent's next possession.
Offensive possessions per 48 minutes game are around the 93 / 95 per game, meanwhile for 40 minutes are 80/82. It's impossible to return any loss of one of these scoring opportunities and in the same way each turnover, on average, costs the team one of these opportunities.
2 - The opponent frequently obtains a better scoring opportunity off a turnover. This changes according the type of turnovers (see "Forced and Unforced Turnovers" at "Statistical Discussions").
a) an offensive foul after which the defense is able to assemble and reestablish will not make better the opponent's opportunities of scoring against that defense in that or any other situation.
b) In opposition, a steal leading to a high-percentage fast break can be a particularly priced turnover.
So the true "points off of turnovers" to be analyzed are those leading to opponents points scored in a direct way, though unmistakably this will change on any determined night being contingent on the category of turnover, being forced or unforced, and when in our offensive possession it happened.
The eBA Basketball Statistics Creative Analysis place special emphasis on paying close attention also to the points gained by forcing opponents' turnovers, in our terms: the "forced steals".
• Commentary:
Looking at turnovers stats and how much they are actually worth.
Points off turnovers are often strongly correlated with the number of turnovers by the opposition. Go understand, the team that turns the ball over more will often lose. Is it really the points off the turnovers, or is it the lost opportunities to score by the team that is making more mistakes ?
The Points Off Turnovers analysis conducts us to the "floor percentage", a method popularized by Dean Oliver, which measures offensive efficiency. Basically it's baskets and offensive rebounds as a ratio of attempted baskets plus turnovers ( see this topic at Discussions about Stats ). In other words, when there is a chance to turn the ball over (TOs and FGA), how often does your team profit from it?
"Profit" in this two means: to make a basket or get another chance with a rebound.
Comparing sports, points off turnovers means a lot in football, but not so much in Basketball because only half of all turnovers are steals which potentially lead to fast breaks the other way. The other half give the ball to the other team out of bounds, which isn't always much of this POT advantage.
Analyzing NBA Data: Not surprisingly, any data analysis reveals that turnovers are bad for any team. Now, looking at all the NBA games, the average for points off turnovers on a given possession is a little over 1.1 (switching from 1.16 to 0.99).
Looking at a few of the NBA teams, the range of points per possession (ppp) is 1.01-1.08 ppp. Therefore, it seems that while turnovers are bad, it isn't so bad if we keep the limits and analyze them. It's because you give up an average of about 1.15 points per turnover (much closer to 2 if you drop out a cluster of uncontested lay-ups and dunks), meanwhile the ppp of the total number of possessions is those 1.01-108.
• Forced and Unforced Turnovers
We have a turnover when your team has the ball, and you lose it to the other team. A turnover can come in the form of a stolen pass, a pass that you throw out of bounds, it can be where they steal the ball away from your dribbler, it can be where you have a player stand in the paint for over three seconds, etc., etc, etc.
When the turnover does occurs or when a bad shot is forced during an ON BALL screen situation, that's means there is a direct influence of an opponent action: the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System refers to it as a FORCED TURNOVER. When the turnover does occur WITHOUT any opponent influence or interference: a bad pass a player HIMSELF throws out of bounds, we call it an UNFORCED TURNOVER.
The value of the turnover, doesn't vary in our metric, being the same for both types, but the eBA System report give to the coach the total quantity and percentages of Forced and Unforced Turnovers by separate, leading so to a deeper analysis of our possessions.
• Particular Formulas & Ratios
Out of linear weights formulas as Tendex, an incomplete list of particular formulas and ratios involving turnovers, is the following:
Approximate Value (AV): Approximate Value (AV) was developed by Dean Oliver based upon several standards a player was to meet in order to gain points of approximate value.
AV = Credits^(3/4)/21
Credits = PTS+REB+AST+STL+BLK-FG MISSED-FT MISSED-TO
AsR 100: Assist Ratio (available since the 1978 season in the NBA).
Assist ratio is an estimate of assists per 100 possessions.
Assist Ratio (AsR) = 100 * ( AST / ( FGA + 0.44 * FTA + AST + TO ))
Floor %: an evaluation of a team's possessions that lead to a score.
That's means, this is the percentage of a team's possessions on which they scored a point.
Floor % = ( FG + OR ) / ( FGA + TO )
Play Percent: Scoring possessions minus scoring possessions on which no field goal was made (only free throws), divided by possessions minus scoring possessions on which no field goal was made. Approximately the percentage of the time a team will score if not sent to the free throw line.
Play % = FG / ( FGA - OR + TO )
Possessions (Poss): This is the particular calculation of Ken Pomeroy by which a made FT typically ends a possession about 47.5% of the time, meanwhile the eBA System works with the "Up-to--the-Line" numbers as said. Additionally, this formula makes another assumption that approximately 30% of offensive rebounds are converted into points and, therefore, end a possession.
Possessions (Poss): FGA + 0.475*FTA - 1.07*( ORB / ( ORB + Opp DRB ))* ( FGA - FG ) + TO
• From Another Point of View
To discuss this topic, we can read at this eBA Recommended Site: CyberSports USA the following: "Similar to points scored and rebounds, the number of turnovers is a misleading statistic. For turnover statistics to be of value the number of offensive possessions must be considered. Turnovers percentage (turnovers/possessions) is the true indication of a team's ball handling performance.
Normally, you would like to keep your turnovers percentage under 10%. However, if you play an up-tempo game you can expect a higher turnover percentage (15% to 20%). This higher turnover percentage, in most cases, is offset by a higher field goal percentage resulting from more transition lay-ups.
When analyzing ball handling performance, it is also vital to look at the number of opponent points allowed off turnovers. Similar to an offensive rebound, teams must capitalize and score off turnovers for them to be of value.
If a team recovers and makes a defensive stop after a turnover, that turnover is cancelled or erased. Conversely, on defense, you need to evaluate the opponent's turnover percentage and the points you are scoring off their turnovers." Read More at CyberSports USA.
• From the eBA System Clinic discussions
The following are selected excerpts from the discussions at the eBA System Annual Clinic about this topic "Statistics & Statisticians".
"Some turnovers are continuing action plays (bad passes) and some are interrupted by a stoppage in play (travels, charging fouls, etc) . Do we count points off of turnovers in each situation even when the defense has a full opportunity to establish itself?
If a shot is missed after the turnover followed by an offensive rebound and a subsequent score, is that still 'points off of the preceding turnover"?
In other words, when does the opportunity to create points off of a turnover end........"
"On a jump ball, when can a player touch the ball ? In case of violation at the first jump ball: is a personal turnover or a team-player one ?
Statistical tracking: In case of violation at the first jump ball is a team-player turnover.
This are the restrictions governing jump balls:
a. Each jumper must have at least one foot on or inside that half of the jumping circle which is farthest from his own basket in NBA or the opponent basket in FIBA. Each jumper must have both feet with-in the restraining circle.
b. The ball must be tapped by one or both of the players participating in the jump ball after it reaches its highest point. If the ball falls to the floor without being tapped by at least one of the jumpers, the official off the ball shall whistle the ball dead and signal another toss.
c. Neither jumper may tap the tossed ball before it reaches its highest point.
d. Neither jumper may leave his half of the jumping circle until the ball has been tapped.
e. Neither jumper may catch the tossed or tapped ball until it touches one of the eight non-jumpers, the floor, the basket or the backboard.
f. Neither jumper is permitted to tap the ball more than twice on any jump ball.
g. The eight non-jumpers will remain outside the restraining circle until the ball has been tapped. Teammates may not occupy adjacent positions around the restraining circle if an opponent desires one of the positions. No player may position himself immediately behind an opponent on the restraining circle.
Penalty for c., d., e., f., g.: Ball awarded out-of-bounds to the opponent."
"A player has possession of the ball in his both hands:
- he stoops down and puts the ball on the floor with his both hands still on the ball.
- he stands up again with the ball still in his hands and
stoops down again and put the ball back on the floor with his both
hands still on the ball, is this a double dribble call?
What kind of Basketball stat-rule: unforced turnover?
According to the rules a dribble movement is defined as:
"movement of the ball, caused by a player in control, who throws or taps the ball into the air or to the floor."
Those same rules give us 7 ways a dribble is ended, one of the ways is when a player touches the ball simultaneously with both hands.
So the first answer - an analysis is below - to the question is that it is an unforced turnover ( and only if an opponent close defense caused the action we'll register a forced turnover ).
There are a couple of meanings in this situation: the first depends on whether or not the player started to dribble. The described action, if it is his first movement with the ball would not be a double dribble. The motive for this ratification is because a dribble is done when "a player in ball control, who throws or taps the ball into the air or to the floor". At no moment of the described action the player "throws or taps the ball into the air or to the floor". As a result of it is that the player never had his first dribble, so having a second would be impossible.
In the action described above the player would still be breaking the rules, and this violation would be "Traveling". This would be the second meaning coming from the application of the double dribble rule, that would be if the described action was made with only one hand.
Statistics register: Unforced Turnover.
Although in the case in which a player get a pass from another player or catches a rebound, he crouch through the floor, put the ball on it with his both hands still on the ball, then stand up and crouches again putting back the ball on the floor again with his both hands still on the ball while its on the floor, in order to protect the ball from his opponent: this is not double dribble because the ball never left the player's hands. It's impossible to get a double dribble call until one set of dribbling was ended....."
"... How currently your team or area keep the 'points off turnovers' stats ?
This is a stat that I used to keep. Unfortunately the Head Coach decided not to use this stat any longer. A TO resulting in points was charted and the results given to the Coach. This became too difficult and the practice is not continued any longer, unfortunately. Additionally I charted the stops achieved and the points scored off a steal. This also is no longer done. ..."
"... This is not a question about simply the loose ball statistics, but about the basketball creative statistics analysis !
We, at the eBA want to know more than number of points... number of rebounds... number of assists... number of turnovers...
Much more. But we must be careful of most statistics given just raw numbers because they depend so much on the pace of the game.
We are more interested in percentages.
We always relate the most important numbers to offensive and defensive efficiency, principally based on points per possession for both our team and the opponents.
At halftime report and after the game the huge emphasis are based on points-per-possession analysis. As much as points and field-goal percentages can tell you, they can get a good distortion with a lot of free throws and so on.
But points-per-possession gives you a much better estimation and measuring of where your team is at, both offensively and defensively.
Another number that does not show up in the box score, but is a fixed category at the eBA Analysis are the deflections, to which few also puts plenty of weight. This number, is based on how many times both our defender and the opponents at defense, gets a hand, foot or any other body part on the basketball, not resulting in a personal possession. The number of deflections gives a good idea of his team's intensity level.
Being blocked shot or diving on a loose ball are both actions that disrupts the other team's offense. Offense, basically, is rhythm. And anything you can do to upset rhythm is not good for an offense.
Deflections or dives to a loose ball is a good defense's barometer. It's mean the defenders are active, flying around and doing good things on the defensive end. When this numbers are down, it's usually tells us about passivity.
Deflections and loose ball, like offensive and defensive percentages, are charted by the eBA analyst during a game, and 30/35 may be a good team goal per game.
About defensive and offensive rebounding effort, about what we'll refer in another topic, players are rated individually R11; at both ends of the floor R11; on how well they respond every time the ball goes up, and this analysis is determined only by means of video analysis of the game.
After each game, the eBA Basketball Analysis System Formulas hand out evaluation reports to the team coach and to each individual player who participated. Evaluation reports are based on the ratio of positive points R11; awarded for such things as big baskets, rebounds, steals, first and second assists, blocks and recovered 'loose balls' and those outstanding plays that can turn a game around R11; to the negative points assigned to turnovers, missed free throws and other general deficiencies.
Deflections, dives for loose balls and points per possession mean a very important feedback about those not-so-simple numbers every head coach needs to know. ..."

KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI - A state of emergency has been declared by state of Michigan officials in response to high levels of PFAS discovered in the city of Parchment's municipal water source.
The governor's office announced Sunday, July 29, a state of emergency has been declared due to ongoing health and safety concerns tied to the discovery of per- and polyfluoroalkyl, or PFAS, compounds in the system serving residents of Parchment and some portions of Cooper Township.
"This declaration will allow the state to supply additional resources to help with response efforts and ensure the health and safety of residents in Parchment and Cooper Township," Lt. Gov. Brian Calley said.
Residents have already been advised to stop drinking the water after tests showed a level of 1,587 parts per trillion of PFAS in Parchment's water supply. That is more than 20 times higher than the EPA lifetime health advisory of 70 ppt.
Public health experts link exposure to the chemicals with increased risk for cancer, liver damage and other serious ailments.
A town hall meeting also been scheduled for Tuesday to discuss updates, the health impacts of PFAS and long-term solutions to protect the area's water supply from future contamination. The meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., July 31, at Haven Reformed Church, 5350 N. Sprinkle Road in Kalamazoo.
Michigan's consumers are looking for answers.
Stephanie Moore, chair of the Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners, declared a local state of emergency on Saturday, according to a news release issued by the county. Moore also submitted a request to the state asking for aid.
In declaring a state of emergency Sunday, Calley is acting as governor while Gov. Rick Snyder is out of state.
"State and local officials and members of the community have been working in full partnership to ensure people in the area have safe water in the short, medium and long term," Calley said.
Public Works crews from Kalamazoo are working to flush Parchment's water lines, which may stir up sediments and discolor the water, according to the release. Residents are being advised not to drink the water until further notice.
Residents in the northeast part of Kalamazoo may also see some water discoloration as a result of more water moving through the Kalamazoo system to Parchment. Kalamazoo residents may continue to use and drink water from their taps.
Residents and business owners on the city of Parchment water system are adjusting to the switch to bottled water for drinking and cooking following elevated levels of PFAS contaminates found in the city system.
Officials said that controls are in place to prevent Parchment water from flowing into the Kalamazoo system.
Water distribution will continue at Parchment High School but the distribution schedule has changed. Starting Monday, distribution will begin at noon and end at 8 p.m. Residents also will be asked to verify their address upon pickup.
PFAS compounds represent an emerging public health threat contaminating water supplies across the Michigan. More than 20 communities across the state have identified contamination sites. That list is expected to grow.
Parchment, known as "The Paper City," was built around a paper mill along the Kalamazoo River in the early 20th century. Just north of the city of Kalamazoo, it's a town of about 1,800 people. Officials estimate it's water system, which is separate from Kalamazoo's and fed by three groundwater wells located along North 20th Street in Cooper Township, serves about 3,100 residents.
Results from tests of those three wells are expected Monday and will inform the next steps for local and state officials. Private wells within a one-mile radius of Parchment's well field are also being tested.
For more information, residents are directed by local officials to call a drinking water hotline set up at (269) 373-5346. Those unable to get to the bottled water distribution point are also encouraged to call the hotline.
The following map shows, outlined in blue, the extent of the city of Parchment's water system, which reaches into a small portion of southern Cooper Township. The area outlined in green is Parchment's city boundaries.


Establishing mutually beneficial partnerships is an important element of any business strategy. Long-term corporate relationships can save your organization time and money. This is especially true in regards to labour staffing agencies. People drive business. Having the right people in the right place will allow your company to continue delivering quality products and services on time and budget.
1. Lack of Industry Experience – Sure, you have to start somewhere, but little to no industry experience will cost you. Experienced staffing agencies are able to assign competent and skilled temp workers to your assignments and even potentially increase employee retention.
2. Company Culture – If your temp agency doesn't understand your company's values, how can they place the appropriate person to a job? Ensure that your staffing agency maintains communication with you and understands company initiatives.
3. Poor Applicant Screenings – This can be a huge red flag and eventually reflect poorly on your company. If your staffing agency isn't verifying applicant references, conducting skills tests, background checks or interviewing up to standard, then you may want to consider switching agencies.
4. Extremely Low Rates – Typically this would be an attractive feature, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Low staffing rates can indicate that temp agencies are hiring illegal labourers and your company could be penalized and hit with a costly fine.

Why Regional Gaming Will Continue to Flounder
Regional gaming has struggled for years, but those struggles aren't going to stop anytime soon. How will companies like Boyd Gaming and Pinnacle Entertainment be affected?

Regional casino operators have had a rough go of it in recent years. A recession hit when companies were highly leveraged, leading to a few bankruptcies, and those companies that survived are now fighting an expansion of gaming across the country. States that also felt the pinch of budget deficits saw gaming as a way to increase revenue, and Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New York are just a few of the states to expand gaming.
The result has been fast-falling revenue in former hot spots like Atlantic City, and dropping profits, as well. Boyd Gaming (NYSE:BYD) and Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) have been two of the hardest hit despite their exposure to Las Vegas. Pinnacle Entertainment (NASDAQ:PNK) increased its exposure to regional markets with the acquisition of Ameristar Casinos, but is still losing money each quarter.
Penn National (NASDAQ:PENN) has done fairly well on the market, but that's primarily because it pushed real estate assets into a REIT. At the end of the day, operations are still struggling for Penn, too.
If you're going to invest in gaming, bet on companies that have international exposure in Asia, where Macau is now the world's largest gaming market, and Singapore is providing incredible profits. For more details on the regional situation, watch the video below.

Kultura Hassuna, kultura Tell Hassuna – neolityczna kultura archeologiczna, która rozwinęła się obszarach nad górnym Tygrysem. Nazwa niniejszej jednostki kulturowej związana jest z eponimicznym stanowiskiem Tell Hassuna w pobliżu Mosulu. Rozwój kultury wyznaczają daty od początku VI tysiąclecia p.n.e. do pierwszej połowy V tysiąclecia p.n.e.

Lokalizacja
Kultura Hassuna obejmowała swym zasięgiem obszary zlokalizowane nad górnym Tygrysem, a jego południową granice wyznaczał Mały Zab. Pierwsze znaleziska zostały odkryte podczas badań archeologicznych, przeprowadzonych przez ekspedycję Muzeum Irackiego w latach 1943–1944 pod kierunkiem Fauada Safary (z udziałem Setona Lloyda) 25 km na południe od Mosulu. Cechy kultury Hassuna przejawiają znaleziska w najniższych warstwach Niniwy, Mattorah i Tell Arpaczija.

Badania archeologiczne
Na miejscu Tell Hassuna odkryto pozostałości osadnictwa. Najstarsza warstwa jest datowana na około 5800 rok p.n.e. Znaleziono w niej ślady tymczasowej osady, której ludność uprawiała rolnictwo i hodowlę kóz. Ceramikę tej warstwy reprezentują niezdobione gliniane pojemniki na żywność. Około 300 lat później osada miała już stały charakter, a jej mieszkańcy umieli produkować ceramikę polichromowaną. Prawdopodobnie model osiedlania się na obszarze Tell Hassuna wyglądał następująco: nomadowie wędrowali w poszukiwaniu dogodnych warunków dla wypasu stad. W drodze wysiewali zboże i czekali w jednym miejscu do czasów żniw, po czym wędrowali dalej z przyczyn bliżej nieznanych (mógł to być konflikt z sąsiadami lub niekorzystne warunki naturalne). Terytorium, na którym rozwinęła się kultura Hassuna, widocznie było optymalnym terenem do założenia stałej osady.

W najstarszych trzech warstwach znaleziono ceramikę archaiczną, tj. niepolerowaną i ozdobioną farbą. Warstwy III–V zawierały niepolerowaną ceramikę z malowanymi lub nakłutymi igłą ozdobami (niekiedy oba sposoby zdobnictwa występowały razem). Wszystkie sześć warstw zawierały pozostałości po małych glinianych pomieszczeniach mieszkalnych skupionych wokół większych budynków. Prawdopodobnie konstrukcje były kryte dachami z drewna bądź trzciny. O istnieniu rolnictwa świadczą odnalezione sierpy z krzemienia połączonego bitumem z drewnianą rączką oraz ślady spichlerzy o wzmocnionych bitumem lub wapieniem ścianach. Prawdopodobnie zboże przechowywano w celach wysiewu. Odkryto także gliniane tacki do przesiewania zboża, kości udomowionych zwierząt i gliniany posążek bogini, przypominający figurkę Bogini Matki z Çatalhöyük.

Schyłek kultury Hassuna nastąpił w okresie kryzysu ekologicznego wskutek regresji Morza Kaspijskiego. Zastąpiła ją kultura Halaf, dlatego w górnych warstwach wykopalisk na miejscu Tell Hassuna występuje już właściwa dla tej młodszej kultury ceramika.

A Spine Perspective - Too much top down bias in musculoskeletal care?
While perusing the internet, I came across a post on a Facebook defaming an anatomical model that I personally handcrafted. The title read in big bold type: "DON'T SHOW YOUR PATIENTS THIS!" and with a video (which was a copyright infringement) of my model that I had taken several years to develop to help improve patient outcomes. Quite shocked but then I then realized the nature of the post on "Trust me, I am a physiotherapist" and began to understand its source.
For many years now, I have seen the cultural trend in musculoskeletal care to avoid words with any negative connotations. This has some validity because as a practitioner, I understand that for decades doctors have been telling patients things like: " oh, you have degenerative disc disease and there is no fix and…..you are doomed" or " you have no choices with your pain…just take these pain pills and you are going to have to live with it".
Long before I started Dynamic Disc Designs (also named ddd, similar to the acronym that we used to identify degenerative disc disease), I experienced on several occasions patients returning from the medical side of care in absolute tears about the results of their imaging. I knew that what had happened earlier in a different office was emotionally difficult on those patients and I thought if I could only show them realistically what is going on, it would minimize their fears about the findings. Disc height loss is not a big deal as long as you know what it is and how dynamic it is.
My practice grew and grew as I began to share with patients the research trend in regeneration of degenerative disc disease. At the time, I was reading a lot about the spine, even though I had just finished my chiropractic degree. And regenerative medicine in mechanobiology was my passion. How could we increase disc height and maintain it. That was and continues to be my focus for spine patients.
I also knew that what would really help the cause would be to show patients that disc height and the respective hydraulics of the spine are dynamic. This was impossible for me to do in a quick and effective way with the static 3d models that were available on the market. They did not move. So, how was I going to convince my patients that the disc naturally bulges, swells and enjoys movement? This is where I knew we needed something better.
So I got to work and figured out a way to build anatomical models with exquisite detail. I tried to use colours to show the patients that the anatomy is beautiful to look at. Using red to show where the nutrients are coming from and blue to show the cartilage and yellow to show the nerves. To date I have sold thousands of these models and it has transformed patient care for me and many other professionals around the world. Just have a read at the feedback. I have done this for the patients.
But when I came across this post, actually defaming my work, I have to admit, it was hard to take. But I understand now. Unfortunately, there are doctors and physiotherapists that may use my models to scare patients into excessive clinical visits. I do wish I could screen my 3d model customers and give them a test to make sure they are using the models ethically. I look at it like a car and should be giving a license test for ethical and only allow evidenced-based doctors only to purchase them.
As I said, the last decade has really placed an emphasis on the importance of NOT using negative language because of the fear of making patients depressed about their pain. I get that. But at the same time, don't we have the responsibility to be honest and show them the source of it? The question is how do we instruct the patient to move in a way to rid them of their pain. My models help patients clearly see this, and help identify which movements they may want to modify and why. No-one really likes be told what to do but if you show them why, it makes life a whole lot easier for both the doctor and patient.
Pain science, which is the perspective that the brain is everything in musculoskeletal care has gone too far in my opinion. Sure the brain is a big player but how about the cells in the annulus, or the subchondral endplate. How about the spine's perspective? Taking care of the little workers are probably the most important in any system. The cells that hold you up, are just as important as the top CEO, the brain.
Today, the reason why I believe my practice is so successful is because I am honest with people about their anatomy. I offer them hope in regeneration because all tissues regenerate. It is only a matter of figuring out how the anabolic behaviour can out perform the catabolic behaviour. Build up rather than break down. Disc height is dynamic and there are ways to improve this common low back and neck pain finding.

The Latest: COVID hits French Open revenues; 2021 still on
The Latest from the French Open (all times local):
12.15 p.m.
Roland Garros organizers say they've not made a profit from this year's pandemic-hit edition of the French Open that was pushed back from spring to autumn, deprived of 97% of its ticket sales and most of its spectators and is wrapping Sunday with the men's final of Novak Djokovic vs. Rafael Nadal
As for next year, organizers are still planning to restore the Grand Slam clay-court tournament to its usual May-June slot but admit they have no visibility on whether the pandemic will allow that to happen.
"We have no crystal ball," said Bernard Giudicelli the French tennis federation president. "We are advancing into the unknown."
Organizers said that staging this year's September-October edition in the midst of the pandemic, with only 1,000 spectators allowed per day and just 3% of the usual amount of tickets sold, caused a hit of 80 million to 100 million euros ($95 million to $118 million) to the tournament's revenues and left it earning about what it cost to hold.
"We're not making a (profit) margin," said Jean-François Vilotte, the French federation's director general.
Giudicelli insisted that holding the tournament in such conditions was still a "winning" choice and that it would have been "unthinkable" for 2020 to have passed without a French Open.
"To be a Grand Slam is to be a pillar of the game," he said. "The pillar held."

No need to apologise to me Keith. Thank You for taking the moral road and protecting us from the onslaught of the internet.
That is a good idea Lee. Thanks for sharing. I have a craftsman skilsaw I was just using yesterday. It is 30 years old and probably needs new grease.
When my wife is gone I will probably do something like that Bill. Their is alot of life going on right now.
Mike, if you can get a synthetic grease, consider it, You will get longer life from it.
Just fantastic. You are greatly talented indeed.
Thankyou for posting your work Brian. The box is beautiful workmanship, and the recipients will be delighted I am sure.

Q: Second order derivatives in Ito formula for Brownian motion and local martingale Itô's formula for a $\mathcal{C}^2$ function of two variables F reads:
\begin{align}
F(X_t, Y_t) &= F(X_0, Y_0) + \int_0^t \frac{\partial F}{dx}(X_s, Y_s) \,  dY_s +  \int_0^t \frac{\partial F}{dy}(X_s, Y_s)  dX_s \\
&+ \frac{1}{2}\int_0^t\frac{\partial^2 F}{dx^2}(X_s, Y_s) d\langle Y, Y\rangle_s +
\frac{1}{2}\int_0^t \frac{\partial^2 F}{dy^2}(X_s, Y_s) d\langle X, X\rangle_s \\ &+
\frac{1}{2}\int_0^t \frac{\partial^2 F}{dx \,dy}(X_s, Y_s) d\langle X, Y\rangle_s
\end{align}
However, it seems that when applied to 1) $X_t = t$ and $Y_t = B_t$ (Brownian motion in 1D) , or 2) $X_t$ local martingale and $Y_t = \langle X, X \rangle_t$, the last two integrals  disappear in the formulas I've seen.
Why is that so ?
