Nick Kang is a young Chinese-American detective who has been suspended from the Los Angeles Police Department due to his extreme methods of policing and his ability to cause massive amounts of damage to property. However, Wanda Parks, the Chief of the E.O.D (Elite Operations Division), requires Nick's assistance in a case that involves attacks on various venues in the Chinatown district. At first Nick is reluctant to help, preferring the vigilante life and focusing on avenging his father's death. However, he eventually agrees to conduct the investigation, on one condition: he must do it his way.
True Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.
Nick can hijack any car on the street (usually with little to no repercussions) and freely drive through the 240 square miles of Los Angeles. Nick is capable of firing his weapon when driving; in an open top vehicle, it is possible to aim anywhere. The player can also opt for exploring the city on foot. Nick will be frequently contacted by other police officers and informed about various street crimes. He can then fight perpetrators, arrest them, knock them unconscious, or kill them to deal with these crimes.
The gameplay during the missions is separated into third-person shooting, fighting, and (more rarely) stealth sequences. All of these usually take place in relatively small, restricted environments. The shooting sequences involve Nick dealing with waves of enemies that appear in different places. Nick must react quickly, moving, crouching, or diving (with a "bullet time" effect) to avoid enemy attacks. A limited amount of painkillers can be found in such stages.
During the fighting sequences, Nick utilizes his martial arts techniques to defeat enemies in hand-to-hand combat. Nick can punch, kick, grapple and throw enemies. The player can execute combos by pressing various combinations of buttons consecutively. It is also possible to pick up primitive melee weapons lying around, or take them from enemies. Both shooting and fighting stages have destructible environments.
Stealth missions typically involve Nick traversing a hostile area without attracting the enemies' attention; the mission is failed if an enemy hasn't been dealt with silently, or shortly after he has discovered Nick. The player has the option of killing enemies or knocking them down; the latter awards the protagonist "good cop" points. Conversely, "bad cop" points are given to Nick for killing innocents or surrendered criminals. Depending on Nick's rating in these categories, the storyline branches during later chapters, leading to different endings.

GOP Candidate For AZ Governor Misquotes Lincoln On 'Class Hatred'
By Hunter Walker
A Republican gubernatorial candidate in Arizona was forced to backtrack this week after he was caught misattributing several quotes about class warfare on Twitter to Abraham Lincoln.
State Sen. Al Melvin (R), who recently announced his campaign for governor, told Capitol Media Services he got the quotes "from a Republican club newsletter."
"It sounded good," Melvin said after being confronted by Capitol Media Services. "It seemed like it was something that he would say."
The quotes used by Melvin referred to "class hatred."
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich," one said. "You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong."
Another quotation Melvin misattributed to Lincoln said, "You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred." In that tweet, Melvin added his own commentary: "POTUS Obama needs to learn from these words."
Capitol Media Services spoke with Brooks Simpson, a professor at Arizona State University and member of the Abraham Lincoln Association's board of directors, who confirmed the quotes came from William J.H. Boetcker, a minister who toured the country and was not born until years after Lincoln's death.
Melvin admitted he made an "innocent mistake" and said he was trying to be clear he had not come up with the quotes.
"If Obama had said it, I would have credited him," Melvin said. "I know he wouldn't have said it, but that was the point."

3.22: Klingande
Reprising an appearance at OMNIA from last July, French tropical house DJ/producer Klingande (aka Cédric Steinmyller) returns to San Diego after teaming with French producer Broken Back on the single, Wonders. The pair also released a remix EP for their song last November.

3.22: Rich the Kid
Dimitri Roger, aka Atlanta-based rapper Rich the Kid, released his debut studio album, The World Is Yours, last year. It debuted at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and features an impressive list of guest rappers including Kendrick Lamar, Future, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and others. The already-completed follow-up, The World Is Yours 2, was set to drop in January, but is currently on hold.

3.23: Malaa
Who is the ski mask-wearing DJ known as Malaa? Is it French producer Sebastian Benett? Is it a rotating duo with DJ Snake and Tchami? Who cares? When he's cranking out singles as good as Notorious, The Sermon, and We Get Crunk, it shouldn't matter.
Malaa.
3.23: FOALS
The Oxford rock quartet hadn't released an album since 2015's What Went Down when they announced that not one, but two, new albums would be arriving in 2019. Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 1, the band's fifth studio album, is out this month. Part 2 is set for release later in the year.

Unfortunately, tickets for the Indiana-based soul singer and his rock-solid backing band's third trip to San Diego sold out mere days after it was put on sale. But don't fret, the band's sophomore album, American Love Call, is out this month, and they're sure to play a far bigger venue the next time through town.

Q: How to install AMD Catalyst 15.7 (fglrx 15.20.1046) on Debian 8 (Jessie)? A while ago I downloaded Debian 8 and I tried to install Catalyst 15.7, but when restarting the computer, I get a black screen on my laptop.
I read that Catalyst has some compatibility issues with GNOME. If any of you know how to fix this error, please let me know.

A: ** Update 2015/09/21 **

*

*New links for mutter packages

Some time ago I try to install Catalyst 15.7 in most Linux distributions with GNOME and after several attempts I managed to install it.
In this answer I will show you how to install Catalyst 15.7 on Debian 8 regardless of the desktop environment that you use.
Just to clarify, I have used this procedure in the following desktop environments:

*

*KDE

*GNOME

*Cinnamon

*XFCE

Before we begin, we need to install some dependencies, so we will open a terminal and execute the following command:

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make dkms fakeroot

After installing dependencies we can proceed downloading Catalyst from the official website of AMD:

AMD Catalyst 15.7

After downloading Catalyst, we must unzip. In the folder where you unzip Catalyst we will open a terminal and run the following commands:
First, we will give execution permissions.

chmod +x amd-driver-installer-15.20.1046-x86.x86_64.run

Then we proceed to install the driver.

sudo ./amd-driver-installer-15.20.1046-x86.x86_64.run --install

Once the driver is installed, it will ask if you want to restart the computer. Select "no".
Now we need to create a configuration file for the X server, so execute the following command:

sudo aticonfig --initial

Note: If you need to use different options with aticonfig command, please read the help of it, running in a terminal the following command:

aticonfig --help

GNOME users only.
Unfortunately Catalyst has some compatibility issues with GNOME, so, to correct, we must run in a terminal the following commands:

su
echo "export COGL_DRIVER=gl" >> /etc/environment
echo "export COGL_OVERRIDE_GL_VERSION=1.4" >> /etc/environment
echo "export COGL_RENDERER=GLX" >> /etc/environment
echo "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2" >> /etc/environment

The previous commands helps mutter to detect the version of OpenGL, with this, the issue with GDM is solved.
Now we need help mutter to detect the version of OpenGL that our GNOME session can load properly. To do this, run in a terminal the following commands without root permissions:

touch ~/.xsession
echo "export COGL_DRIVER=gl" > ~/.xsession
echo "export COGL_OVERRIDE_GL_VERSION=1.4" >> ~/.xsession
echo "export COGL_RENDERER=GLX" >> ~/.xsession
echo "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2" >> ~/.xsession
echo "gnome-session" >> ~/.xsession

GNOME laptop users only.
In laptops, gnome-shell crash, reason for the crash is an X error asserting arguments to
XRRChangeOutputProperty called from
mutter-3.14.4/src/backends/x11/meta-monitor-manager-xrandr.c:output_set_presentation_xrandr
To correct this error, we must recompile "mutter" with a patch source. For users of the amd64 architecture can save the job, downloading the following files, which compiled and packed it myself.

gir1.2-mutter-3.0_3.14.4-1~deb8u1_amd64.deb
libmutter-dev_3.14.4-1~deb8u1_amd64.deb
libmutter0e_3.14.4-1~deb8u1_amd64.deb
mutter_3.14.4-1~deb8u1_amd64.deb
mutter-common_3.14.4-1~deb8u1_all.deb
mutter-dbg_3.14.4-1~deb8u1_amd64.deb

For users of the i386 architecture, soon I'll upload the packages compiled and packaged, so stay tuned to this guide.
To install the packages need to open a terminal in the folder where you downloaded the packages and run the following command:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

If we have problems with some dependencies when installing packages, it is only necessary to run the following command:

sudo apt-get -f install

And with that we're done. Now we just have to restart our computer to enjoy Catalyst 15.7.

Ontario Newsroom
Government Supporting Groundbreaking Genomics Research
Archived News Release
Advancing Personalized Health in Ontario
Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade
Ontario is improving the lives and wellbeing of everyday Ontarians with investments in research that will enable a more personalized approach to diagnosing and treating illnesses.
The province's funding will support genomics research projects that will:
Help doctors more easily diagnose and treat children suffering from inflammatory bowel disease. Doctors Alain Stintzi, David Mack and their team are developing a simple, cost-effective and non-invasive approach to detecting the disease in children. This work could also lead to new treatments, enhancing the quality of life for children living with inflammatory bowel disease everywhere.
Improve the way doctors identify and treat rare genetic diseases. Doctors Kym Boycott, Alex MacKenzie and their team will use powerful new gene sequencing to develop earlier and better diagnoses, and more effective treatments for many of these rare diseases caused by gene mutations.
Provide more effective treatment for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders through earlier diagnosis. Currently, only 20 per cent of cases can be tied to a genetic cause. Doctors Stephen Scherer and Peter Szatmari aim to identify the remaining genetic risk factors associated with this illness.
Save more lives with earlier detection of esophageal cancer - with funding being provided via the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research. Chronic heartburn can damage the lining of the esophagus, leading to a condition known as "Barrett's esophagus." Doctors Lincoln Stein and Tony Godfrey aim to supplement a new test that can allow for rapid and cost-effective early detection and diagnosis of the condition in a doctor's office.
Investing in genomics research supports the government's efforts to improve health care for people of Ontario. This is part of the Ontario government's economic plan to invest in people, invest in infrastructure and support a dynamic and innovative business climate.
Personalized health uses a patient's own genetic and personal information to customize treatment for the individual. Today's funding brings Ontario's support to a total of 12 projects funded since 2011, covering a variety of conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, brain disease and cancer.
Ontario is supporting the new projects in conjunction with the Ontario Genomics Institute.
Ontario funding supports personalized medicine research through the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, Ontario Brain Institute, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and at universities and research hospitals.
With half of the country's life sciences economic activity taking place in Ontario, the province is the largest life sciences hub in Canada.
About the Ministry of Research and Innovation.
"Personalized health is an important frontier for research and the future of health care. It will undoubtedly have a significant impact on how we treat disease, bringing tremendous benefits to Ontarians, their families and our health care system."
Reza Moridi
Minister of Research and Innovation
"These personalized health projects have enormous potential to improve the lives of people facing serious illnesses in Canada and beyond. Advances in personalized health are a direct result of support for groundbreaking research."
Mark Poznansky
President and CEO, Ontario Genomics Institute
"I am proud of the tremendous research talent we have in Ottawa and proud that our government is helping our world class researchers to make discoveries that will better lives in our community, our province and around the world."

Yangon Insitute of Economics Launches Entrepreneurship Program
The Yangon Institute of Economics (YECO) last week launched the first of several new "entrepreneurship" centres, a statement said.
The HP Learning Initiative for Entrepreneurship Centre (HP LIFE) is part of a program aimed at helping Myanmar cultivate small businesses and support the country's future business leaders, the US Embassy in Yangon said.
The centre's opening represents the first phase of implementation of the program that was initiated by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Ministry of Education, Indiana University, Hewlett-Packard, the global nonprofit business network Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), and Vietnam-based VinaCapital Foundation's Lotus Impact fund called ADEPT (Advancement and Development through Entrepreneurship Programs and Training).
The three-year program pairs $1.3 million in partner contributions with a $1-million US Government grant to support shared efforts to create economic opportunities for micro, small and medium enterprises through information and communication technology (ICT)-led programs.
"We are very pleased to be engaged with a range of partners, and excited to be engaged with this country, as it emerges and becomes further integrated into the rest of the global community," said Indiana University President Michael A McRobbie.
Hewlett-Packard will establish up to twelve centres in four regions. The centres, which will be established through local partners such as the Myanmar Business Executives Association, will be equipped with computers and internet connections and will provide business training and other resources to boost entrepreneurship in rural and less-served populations.
"Entrepreneurs need a strong foundation and a team behind them to turn their inspiration into reality. This is what ADEPT is designed to do. ADEPT (in English) means 'skilled'-beyond skilled, 'a master'," said US Deputy Chief of Mission Virginia Murray.
VinaCapital Foundation's Lotus Impact fund will enable small and medium enterprise (SME) to access credit and prepare to engage with larger buyers and investors. BSR will similarly support SMEs by launching an educational working group series to bring businesses up to international standards.

Analysis of Human Errors Related to Many Marine Accidents Occurring While Anchoring and Manoeuvring at an Anchorage
Grzegorz Rutkowski https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7455-7069
Master Mariners Association, al. Jana Pawła II 3, 81-963, Gdynia Poland
The purpose and scope of this paper is to describe anchoring procedures and typical human errors that are the cause of many marine accidents related to the anchoring of vessels and their manoeuvring in anchorage areas. In this paper the author focuses on typical marine accidents recorded for very large crude carriers (VLCC). As a result of the analyses, it can be seen that in the vast majority of cases these accidents are caused by human error and are related to the violation of accepted maritime anchor practices and a failure to observe the relevant safety and security procedures. The consequences of the accidents vary from the minor (e.g. slight structural damage to the anchor winches or other marine equipment) to the serious, which result in dry dock repairs due to hull damage, loss of stability and/or loss of navigability. The described cases refer to both favourable and extremely unfavourable hydro meteorological conditions, the latter including strong winds, currents and waves within the confined anchorage area.

11:11MY NEIGHBOR IS HIDING SOMETHING... HORROR STORY ANIMATED! 7-SECOND RIDDLES HORROR EDITION7 SECOND RIDDLES HORROR EDITION! You never know what a person living next door could be hiding… Well, not this time!


I've become obsessed with Chinese Chicken Salad. I don't know how it happened or when it even started. I just know that I can't stop. Luckily, I don't have to. Filling and delicious, this salad is also healthy and adaptable enough to keep it fresh day after day.
And I'm not kidding about that. I've really been eating this day after day.
The kids like this salad, too, especially when I throw in sesame sticks. Snack food! In salad?! It's been a life changing combination here. The only adjustment I have to make for the little one is to dress his portion of salad with a milder version of the Chinese Mustard Vinaigrette. Okay, and we pick out the leaves, too. But lightly dressed cuke, avocado, red pepper, poached chicken, and sesame sticks is not a bad thing.
The Chinese Mustard Vinaigrette is the most important element of this salad. Once you have that made, you can get fancy, as I do on weekends, by combining chopped lettuce and cabbage and adding fried shallots (which are the best part in my opinion). Or you can keep it quick and simple with nothing more than lettuce, cucumber, and avocado.
Place rinsed chicken breasts in a large pot, cover with water and, if you are inclined, add a bay leaf, some peppercorns or even that last sad carrot or stalk of celery that's withering in your fridge. Allow to simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through.
Now that you have chicken and dressing, it's time to think about what else you want in your salad. Get creative and change it up.
Mix up your lettuces or, as I mentioned above, combine lettuce and Napa cabbage.
Add cilantro if you're a fan. Scallions, too.
Diced red peppers, cucumber, carrots, avocado, and even small bites of steamed broccoli all go well with this dressing.
I love tossing in store-bought broccoli slaw, which adds texture, crunch, and an extra nutrient punch.
Speaking of crunch, make sure it's in there. This is critical! When you have time, fry shallots: thinly slice shallots into rounds and use your fingers to toss them in flour, separating the rings as you do. Heat oil in a high sided pan until very hot and toss in flour coated shallots, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. As soon as you see them turn a medium golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined plate. If you don't have time for this, sesame sticks, cashews, and slivered almonds also work well.
And with that, you have all the tools you need to make this addictive salad, perfect for spring lunches on the go, a packed lunch for work, a quick dinner for the family, or a light elegant meal for date night or ladies who lunch.
1. Place all of the ingredients except the peanut oil in a blender and blend until smooth. With the blender still running, add peanut oil slowly. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve or save in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 14 days.
*Note: You may want to reduce the amount of mustard for young children, by how much will depend on your child's taste. Begin by following the instructions above, using the reduced amount of mustard. Pull out your child's portion, then add remaining mustard and blend for another couple of seconds to make a spicier dressing for those who want. Even the mild version of this dressing might be a little much for children younger than 10-months-old, but by then a little drizzle on cucumbers or mashed avocado is a great way to stimulate your little eater's palate.
This sounds delicious. It will be a nice break from the Chicken Caesar salads.
🙂 looks awesome, definitely making this tomorrow!
this sounds great, thanks. where do you find broccoli slaw?
It's pretty widely available, I believe, in conventional markets, usually in the packaged greens section. I hope you can find some. We love it!
Haven't a clue what English Coleman's Mustard is. Where would I purchase?
Hi, Judy. Sorry I wasn't more clear! It's a popular brand name for a spicy English-style Mustard. It's pretty common, so I'd start by checking your supermarket. If they don't have it, a speciality market should. I hope that helps!
Thanks for your speedy reply! I use another brand of dry mustard called Keen's Dry Mustard which is a Canadian product. I'm sure would work well. I'm definitely gonna make your recipe it sounds absolutely delish! Thanks for sharing!!

The Elizabeth Homilies "are authorized sermons issued in two books for use in the Church of England during the reigns of Edward VI and Elizabeth I. They were to provide for the Church a new model of simplified topical preaching as well as a theological understanding of the Reformation that had taken place in England. Thomas Cranmer broached the idea of a Book of Homilies in 1539, but it was not authorized by the Church's Convocation until 1542. Within a year the twelve homilies of the first book were collected and edited by Cranmer, who also wrote at least five of them. They were not published, however, until 1547. The first six homilies present distinctive Protestant theology, namely the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, the radical sinfulness of man, justification by faith alone (entitled "Of the Salvation of All Mankind"), evangelical faith, and sanctification. The Homilies were revoked under Queen Mary but reinstated by Elizabeth.

The success of PBS is not only based on its state-of-the-art technologies; in fact, a crucial role is played by the highly qualified employees and their proactive approach in each and every area they are responsible for.
At PBS, we not only aim to maintain our position as a recognised supplier to renowned global end product manufacturers – we want more. We are confident we will succeed in this endeavour, but only thanks to people who are proud to work for PBS. Let us turn our visions for the future into reality, together. To do so, we need your skills, passion and innovative ideas. If we want to make this vision a reality, we need people like you, people who want to help form the successful future of PBS across the entire spectrum of its business activities.


So the deal here is that I give you an alphabet, and you have to say one thing for each member that reminds you of them.
1. You must nominate something for everyone, or at least try. Everyone will get as many nominations. If someone leaves a blank, I will either fill it in myself or ask the person in question for any suggestions.
2. Don't repeat. If you see someone has already nominated the same thing for the person, say something else. So please check out the previous nominations of other people.
4. When the picks come up, try to vote in everyone's picks. It's not a matter of how much you know about a fandom, it's what REMINDS you of the person the most. Any idiot can do that.
5. If your name is on the list of the participants, I expect you to also nominate for the others.
6. Words like "The" and "A" don't count. So, for example: The Amazing Spider Man doesn't start with "T", it starts with "A" and A Song of Ice and Fire doesn't start with "A", it starts with "S".
7. Also, with characters like "Princess Aurora", the princess doesn't count, so it'd be Aurora. If you wanna put just princess, the title, go ahead, but it won't be Aurora.
9. This doesn't apply for couples and friendships though. If everyone calls the couple Quinn & Puck, you don't have to call them Quinn & Noah, and so that couple doesn't belong with the letter N.
10. Ship names like Captain Swan aren't allowed. Friendships that include more than 3 people that have a specific name, like the Golden Trio, do count.
11. In case of a tie, I will take the preference of that person into account. If this person didn't vote, nor leave a comment, my vote will be decisive.
12. If you have any questions, PM me. And have fun!
Crap, I hate this letter :P SO many Haley stuff, but I also love a lot of other & aaaarghhh!!
Heroes&Villains OUAT mid s4 finale!
Idk what's going on with the countdown, but i edited in Han stuff!
CELINE: ....wait confused so do you not want us to nominate Haley relationships?? lol. If not then Hook & Charming if yes then Haley & Peyton :P because i'm pretty sure someone else is going to nominate Naley...? okay im gonna stop now lmfao.
And are we nominating for Kir? :) If so I nominate Haley/Brooke!
Do you still need my seven nominations? Because my list looks complete and i'm cool with whats been nominated lol.
I'll add more as I think of them!

You and me and the bottle makes three tonight (OTH 6x17) <----- DUDES.


The SpeakerFlux cable from Furutech is like a "breadth of fresh air" when we used it in our system that had Transparent Audio speaker cables. It may be slightly lighter on the bottom end when compared to the Transparent Audio cable but it has a cleaner transparent sound in the mids and highs. There was ample amount of refinement in this cable where music was projected with a beguiling smoothness and definition. Bass was quick and tight and although not as voluminous as the Transparent, was equally tight and pulsating. Built, finish and materials used are amongst the best in the industry. Using rhodium plated speaker lugs with carbon fiber body and pure OCC conductors, Furutech chose the high ground for quality materials but only priced them at mid-fi prices. A real bargain now at under $2,000.
Cosmetically, it is in excellent shape. One previous owner since new. We have the original box and will securely pack it for safe shipping.

Those of us who've decided to live a healthier way, do so for many different reasons. Our natural health journeys start for different reasons too- it could be to improve health, to manage an illness or condition, or because we've done our research and learnt about the impact of not living a natural, healthy way.
My own natural health journey started when I wanted to lose some weight before a wedding I was going to. Yes, my reason was vanity, but it soon changed to something more real and important to me.
Better health was more than just pounds and calorie counting.
I started to learn about what was in the food that I was eating and feeding my family, and I didn't like it. I was more aware of how certain foods affected my body- I started paying attention to how my body was feeling.
My natural health journey then went beyond food. I started thinking about my lifestyle and how that was impacting my health.
Was I getting enough sleep? How was stress impacting on my daily life? What would happen if I started meditating?
It's been almost four years since I began my natural health journey. During these four years, I've had ups and downs. I've had periods where I have reverted back to eating a less healthy way, or I have neglected to look after myself. But that's ok, because these moments have been a wake-up call for me.
When I've been at my most healthiest, I have felt great! I've looked good, I've enjoyed healthy eating, my body feels stronger when I exercise, and I am in a happier mood. When I haven't been at my most healthiest, I've realised how this has impacted on my life- stomach pains, lack of sleep, no energy, feeling miserable. Remembering how great I've felt when being healthy has got me out of these "unhealthy ruts" and back on track to living healthy and feeling happy.
Are you at the beginning of your natural health journey and finding it hard? Stick at it- it might take you some time, or you might mess up a few times and revert back to unhealthy ways. Kicking a bad habit doesn't happen overnight! Don't give up, focus on making small changes often and soon enough you'll notice a huge difference.
If you've been living healthily but have slipped up and picked up some old habits again- don't beat yourself up! Remember how great you felt when you were at your most healthiest- you can find that feeling again. You can go back to living that way again, if you want to. Take it one day at a time and soon enough, you will be back on track!

On Monday, Delta altered the path of some its flights due to a solar storm (also known as a geomagnetic storm), reports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). According to Bloomberg Businessweek, flights operated by Air Canada and Qantas have also been rerouted because of the storm.
The solar storm that arrived this week is the biggest one to hit the planet in more than eight years. Solar storms can hinder GPS and radio signals and the communications systems of planes. They've even been known to cause disruption to power grids.
But flyers have little to fear. We spoke with Rodney Viereck, a scientist with the NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, who told us that solar storms don't pose a serious threat to flight safety. There is a risk that passengers could be exposed to radiation when flying near solar storms. However, the level of exposure from a geomagnetic storm is no worse than the radiation one would sustain when going to the doctor and getting X-rays.
During this most recent storm, only a handful of planes were rerouted south, adding about 15 minutes of travel time to the Delta flights. If a solar storm is severe enough, said Viereck, flights diverted far from the course of their original route might have to stop and refuel; however, such an event is very rare.
Why do flights need to change course during solar storms? According to Viereck, when energetic protons that are discharged from the sun collide with earth's upper atmosphere, they can knock out radio communication and make it impossible for airlines to stay in touch with dispatchers on the ground. Communication interference due to a solar storm is most likely to happen on flights that take polar routes. The flights that Delta rerouted were originally scheduled to fly over the North Pole.
The sun has an 11-year solar cycle (much like seasons on earth). Currently, we're going into "solar maximum season," and we can expect more solar storms of this magnitude "once a year for the next four or five years," Viereck said.

Active Template Library
Library or framework
The Active Template Library (ATL) is a set of template-based C++ classes developed by Microsoft, intended to simplify the programming of Component Object Model (COM) objects. The COM support in Microsoft Visual C++ allows developers to create a variety of COM objects, OLE Automation servers, and ActiveX controls.[1][2] ATL includes an object wizard that sets up primary structure of the objects quickly with a minimum of hand coding. On the COM client side ATL provides smart pointers that deal with COM reference counting. The library makes heavy use of the curiously recurring template pattern.
2 Support classes
3 Compiler COM support
COM objects can also be created with Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), but this leads to larger binaries that require support DLLs.[3] ATL, on the other hand, is a more lightweight alternative in situations where the graphical user interface parts of MFC are not required.[4]
In ATL version 7 (Visual Studio 2003), which directly succeeded version 3 (Visual Studio 6.0), a number of MFC classes like CString were made available in ATL, or more precisely moved to an ATLMFC common layer which is shared by both libraries. ATL version 7 also introduced attributes in C++ in an attempt to provide something similar to CLI attributes, however these have not been particularly successful, and have been deemphasized in ATL version 8 (Visual Studio 2005); the various wizards no longer generate them by default. Version 7 also introduced new string conversion classes.
On July 28, 2009, Microsoft released a patch to ATL to fix a bug that could allow ActiveX controls created using ATL to be vulnerable to a remote code execution security flaw.[5]
Since Visual Studio 2013, ATL code in Visual C++ 2013 is static, eliminating the DLL.[6]
Support classes[edit]
ATL includes many RAII classes to simplify management of COM types. The most commonly used classes include:
CComPtr<T>[7] general-purpose smart-pointer,
CComBSTR[8] BSTR wrapper,
CComVariant[9] VARIANT wrapper, and
CComSafeArray<T>[10] SAFEARRAY wrapper.
Compiler COM support[edit]
Although not formally part of ATL, Microsoft Visual C++ also includes additional C++ RAII classes to simplify management of COM types. These compiler COM support classes can be used as replacement for or in combination with ATL, and includes:
_com_ptr_t[11] smart-pointer that decorates the COM interface name with a "Ptr" suffix,
_bstr_t[12] BSTR wrapper,
_variant_t[13] VARIANT wrapper, and
_com_error[14] HRESULT wrapper.
Note that as of Visual Studio 2012, the compiler COM support classes does not include a SAFEARRAY wrapper.

PANEL FEATURING LUCHA LIBRE SUPERSTAR REY MYSTERIO AND THE CREATORS OF "LUCHA UNDERGROUND" WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A BLOOD PUMPING, ACTION-PACKED, LIVE EVENT FEATURING GRAVITY DEFYING LUCHADORES
Austin, TX- El Rey Network and South By Southwest (SXSW) Conferences and Festivals announced today that the popular Lucha Libre wrestling series "Lucha Underground" will be part of this year's SXAméricas celebration in Austin, Texas featuring both a panel and a live event on Tuesday, March 15th, 2016. The panel, titled "Importing Lucha Libre: The Creation of El Rey Network's Lucha Underground", will focus on how Emmy Award®-winning producer Mark Burnett and El Rey Network Chairman and Founder Robert Rodriguez have successfully imported two of Mexico's most popular forms of entertainment,
lucha libre and the telenovela and combined them to create a new sports franchise taking the world by storm. And for the first time in its history the character-driven television phenomenon will leave the temple in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles for a live event at the Austin Music Hall in Austin, Texas which will feature more than fifteen of "Lucha Underground's" high-flying, death defying luchadores.
The creators and stars of "Lucha Underground" will discuss the formation of the gripping new wrestling franchise during the panel featuring wrestling superstar Rey Mysterio Jr., "Lucha Underground" Showrunner and Executive Producer Eric Van Wagenen, "Lucha Underground" owner Dorian Roldán and El Rey Network Co-founder and "Lucha Underground" Owner Cristina Patwa. The live event, taking place at the Austin Music Hall at 7:00pm, will bring to Austin all of the fierce lucha libre drama and excitement "Lucha Underground" is known for.

My Five is a new Alli feature where we ask the same five questions to five different athletes and compile all the crazy answers for your reading pleasure. For this installment, we talked to BMXers Daniel Dhers, Rob Darden, Anthony Napolitan, Jay Eggleston and Garrett Reynolds.
Question 1: What trick were you trying the last time you had to go the hospital?
Daniel Dhers: There's a couple I should have gone to the hospital for but I didn't. Last year at an ASA contest I did a no-footed cancan to tailwhip, and I kicked the bike the wrong way. I had to go to the hospital for that one.
Rob Darden: I was trying to 360 over a rail hop in 2006 while filming for Josh Harrington's video "End Search." Things didn't go so well and I ended up breaking my right wrist.
Anthony Napolitan: It was a tailwhip, and it was actually at the first stop of the 2007 Dew Tour in Baltimore.
Garrett Reynolds: Icepick grind. It was in Atlanta. I separated my shoulder.
Question 2: Who's your favorite dead celebrity?
Question 3: What's the one thing you can't live without?
Daniel Dhers: Technology I would say, even though it drives me crazy. Cell phones and computers. The one thing I couldn't go without is Internet. It puts me in a really bad mood when I don't have it.
Anthony Napolitan: Ummmm duh my bicycle!!! And maybe food.
Garrett Reynolds: Music… and my bike.
Question 4: Who do people say you look like?
Daniel Dhers: Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger for some odd reason.
Rob Darden: I'm not sure about that one.
Jay Eggleston: My dad or maybe Skeletor.
Question 5: Hotel or campground?
Daniel Dhers: Hotel all day.
Anthony Napolitan: If I'm in physical pain a hotel. If I'm 100%, I'm into some camping.
Jay Eggleston: Campground, but better yet, backcountry campsite.
Garrett Reynolds: Hotel. Well, actually I don't know. Campground is pretty sick too. Probably go with the hotel though, I don't like bugs that much.
Missed last week's My Five with BMXers Austin Coleman, Cam White, Ryan Nyquist, Marcus Tooker and Coco Zurita? Check it out here.

THE FIVE MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS REVOLUTION:ENHANCE IMMUNITY, FIGHT FATIGUE AND FIND INNER PEACE
Mushrooms belong to their own biological classification, the kingdom of Fungi, and possess truly unique characteristics. If we think about the word mushroom, it is likely that images manifesting in our mind's eye portray a common brown chestnut mushroom or a more funky looking fly agaric with cream-coloured stem and red cap with white spots. These curiously looking creatures are defined as fruiting bodies, which are merely the reproductive organ of a far larger being. The soil beneath the fruiting body is indeed home to a barely visible and astonishingly complex network of tiny threads called mycelium. When the mycelium colonises the proper substrate and the weather conditions are just right, the biological alarm clock rings the time for reproduction and the fruiting body quickly appears.
Through the centuries, some of these fruiting bodies have earned a special place in the medicine cabinet of many Eastern cultures and have been used as part of healing protocols for a plethora of ailments.
Scientific research is now proving us how the biochemical interaction between medicinal mushrooms and the human body could have a significant impact on our wellbeing, providing the human race with another extremely powerful therapeutic tool.
Five mushrooms in particular have caught the attention of researchers for their exceptional healing properties and will be described in the following section.
GANODERMA LUCIDUS (Reishi mushroom)
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) reishi is considered the mushroom of immortality for its remarkable anti-aging and antioxidant properties (1). Reishi uniqueness lies in its ability to regulate human immunity, meaning that it improves the functioning of the immune system whether its activity is excessive or deficient (1); additionally, reishi has shown to exert a sedative effect on the central nervous system, to improve blood quality and to protect the brain and liver from the damage of free radicals (2). These wonderful medicinal properties of reishi are the result of the bioactivity of two families of compounds present in reishi called triterpenes and polysaccharides (2): Reishi's triterpenes, also called ganoderic acids, have shown to have antihistamine, antitumor, antihypercholesterolemic, vasorelaxing and pain lowering effects (3); its polysaccharides, named beta-glucans, are deemed responsible for the immunoregulatory properties. Reishi is commonly prescribed by naturopaths and herbalists in therapeutic protocols for autoimmune diseases, liver pathologies, premature aging, chronic anxiety and hypertension (2)
Because reishi is reasonably easy to grow in large batches it is a rather popular supplement and could be easily purchased at your local health food store.
CORDYCEPS SINENSIS (Cordyceps)
Cordyceps is a rather bizarre fungus: native to the Himalayas, it grows above 3000m of altitude and its substrate of choice are insects, especially ghost moth's larvae (4). Once the larva is dead, the spores take over the insects and the fruiting body quickly appears.
Cordyceps has gained popularity for its impressive enhancing effects on athletic performance, sexual function, fertility and immunity (2).
Traditionally prized as a lung tonic, cordyceps has proven itself to be effective at increasing oxygen capacity during high-intensity aerobic physical activity, delaying athlete's exhaustion threshold by delivering more oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles (5).
In regards to libido and sexual well-being, cordyceps exerts a remarkable tonic action on both male and female reproductive systems boosting the production of testosterone and oestrogens; this results in the enhancement of sexual desire, improvement of the quality and quantity of sperm and promotion of female fertility (2)
Ultimately, cordyceps also containing immuno-regulating polysaccharides and a marvellous nuclotide called cordycepin, a substance capable of inhibiting RNA/DNA replication in virus-infected and cancer cells (2). Cordyceps is a great supplement for any individual suffering from chronic fatigue, low libido, experiencing fertility issues or fighting off a virus and nowadays has become more affordable as it is grown in large batches on grain-based substrates.
INONOTUS OBLIQUUS (Chaga)
A resident from Eastern European forests, chaga grows on birch trees where it appears as a conk on the trunk of the tree (2). Chaga owes its popularity to its content of betulin and betulinic acid, triterpenoids that the mushroom primarily extracts from the bark of the host white birch tree (2). These two compounds have been object of several studies which have shown an outstanding ability to trigger apoptosis (programmed suicide) in cancer cells (6). For this reason, chaga has been used in Poland and Russia as a folk cancer treatment and it is attracting the attention of many researchers involved in the development of novel antineoplastic drugs (2,6). Moreover, a Russian study showed remarkable results using chaga as a treatment for psoriasis (7) while another study proved chaga effective to prevent the spread of virus such a herpes simplex (8). Chaga texture is fibrous and woody and therefore the preferred methods of consumption are capsules or decocted tinctures (water and alcohol based preparations)
GRIFOLA FRONDOSA (Maitake)
Maitake is a large mushroom native to the islands of Japan and can weigh up to 20kg. Its other common name is Hen-of-the-woods, as its appearance resembles a chicken with its feather all fluffed up and the fruiting bodies are also poetically described as an overlap of butterflies in a wild dance (9). Maitake is high in immunomodulating polysaccharides and similarly to chaga is famous for its anti-cancer properties (2). Studies on the interaction between maitake and the human immune system have been predominantly done using its standardised polysaccharides extract named MD fraction, which has shown to promote the regression of cancers of the liver, breast and lung tissues (10). Furthermore, maitake's extract taken alongside chemotherapy showed an enhancement of immune-competent cell activities of 1.2-1.4 times (10). Human trials indicate that in order to observe noticeable changes in human immunity the effective oral dose of MD fraction is 35-150mg/day alongside 4-6g/day of dried maitake fruiting body (2). Maitake supplements are advised to anyone receiving chemotherapy in order to optimise its outcome. Always talk with your physician before taking the decision of supplementing with this mushroom.
HERICIUM ERINACEUS (Lion's mane)
Last but not least, lion's mane concludes the saga of the five medicinal mushrooms revolution. Lion's mane has been defined as 'Nature's Nutrient for Neurons' as it has the unique ability to stimulate a protein called nerve growth factor (NGF) (2). Curiously, lion's mane fruiting body is composed of hundreds of tiny white filaments which to a colorfully imaginative eye could resemble a cluster of nerve cells, as this mushroom wanted to communicate to us its ability to support the restoration of the nervous system. Lion's mane properties are attributed to two groups of compounds called erinacines and hericenones, molecules small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier and stimulate the production of endogenous NGF (2). For this reason, it is used to treat neurological conditions such as dementia, MS, nerve damage (2) and even depression and anxiety (11). Clinical trials support the use of lion's mane dried fruiting body at a dose of 3000-5000mg a day to increase NGF (2). Lion's mane can be easily grown on grain substrate and it is reasonably easy to source.
This article explored the potential of five medicinal mushrooms for the enhancement of human helth in regards to immunity, energy and psychological well-being. In specific, it appears that most of these medicines improve the function of the immune system as no other remedy yet discovered and could provide an effective solution for resolving fatigue and attenuating anxiety. Could they be the key to unlock the door of radiant health for chronically ill individuals?

Natalie Besaw
Paducah teen seeks medical career
By KELLY FARRELL kfarrell
Kelly Farrell
Paducah Tilghman High School senior Natalie Besaw took biology as a freshman and it was by far one of her favorite subjects. She's interested in learning about the human body and wants it to "make sense" to her, such as how people work and how certain diseases affect different people.
"I think that being able to help people figure out what's wrong with them is a big deal, because in my family, we've had a lot of illnesses that has taken like six doctors to figure out what's actually going on. And, to be that person — just to be like, 'This is what's going on with you' and put them on the right medicine, and actually get them help, would be nice," she said.
The 17-year-old student is currently looking at attending the University of Kentucky or the University of Louisville. She plans to major in biology, and later go on to medical school. She has an interest in becoming a radiologist.
"There was a time when I wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon because the fact that you could break bones to heal someone was really interesting to me," she added. "I think radiology is the path I'm on now, but medical school could change that with residencies and just learning about how different medicines work."
Besaw, daughter of Tennille and Todd Rushing and Shamus Besaw, all of Paducah, is the Paducah Bank Teen of the Week.
Every Tuesday, The Sun publishes articles about area high school seniors who were chosen from a group of nominees for Teen of the Week recognition. Around the end of the school year, a selection committee will name one of these students as Teen of the Year, which carries a $5,000 scholarship. Another student will receive the Inspiration Award and a $1,000 scholarship.
At Paducah Tilghman, Besaw has earned a cumulative weighted GPA that's above 4.3. She attended the Kentucky Governor's Scholars program this summer at Morehead State University and received AP Scholar recognition.
She's involved with a number of school clubs and organizations, including National Honor Society, pep club, Rotary Interact Club and sustainability club. She's been a defender on the varsity girls soccer team and served as a captain. Outside of school, Besaw has been a longtime member of the Pumas Futbol Club. She's picked up various soccer honors, including All-District Team.
"I've been on a soccer team since I was 2," she said. "My grandfather coached at Lone Oak when it was still a high school. My uncles and my aunts played. Both of my brothers played. My mom played. It's just kind of a family thing. I chose it, but I guess it also like chose me."
Besaw said she thinks being a captain is a lot different than just being a player, noting that teammates will follow what you do, and you have to set an example.
"Soccer season is over, but I'm still a captain to my younger teammates, like I help them with their applications and I help them with their homework and their studying — it's not just a soccer role," she said.
As for senior year, it's going smoothly for Besaw and her goals are to focus on an art project she's proud of, getting scholarships, and applying for colleges because she wants to be prepared before the end of the school year. She's "pretty excited" about graduation and ready for the next chapter.

Gravely Concerned by the sudden outbreak of Cholera and typhoid in Glenview Area 3 and 8 (Glen View North Constituency) that has mainly affected 71,72,73,74,75 and 76 Crescents; recently Glen View 1 and 2 (Glen View South Constituency) that has mainly affected 54, 55, 56 and 56 Crescents, and concerned that the outbreak is emanating from a spate of unattended to sewer bursts in Glen View. Concerned by outbreak in Budiriro 1 (Budiriro Constituency) as a result of numerous shallow and unprotected wells where residents are accessing water.
Acknowledging our inalienable right to life, to clean water, to health and a clean environment as provided for in the new Zimbabwe Constitution.
Following reports from our community activists and leaders in the last three months and recently two weeks we have been engaging the Glenview district office to attend to sewer bursts in the areas around mainly 71 and 72 Crescent. This follows our everyday engagements with the City of Harare on the need for consistent clean water supplies to all residents in Harare. We are disappointed that the City ignored these calls for action citing absurd reasons that they did not have fuel. What is more worrying is that the Jan-July city income and expenditure statement reflects an over 70% expenditure on salaries and administration and yet the City fails to attend to simple problems like sewer bursts. We contend that these sewer bursts and the attendant water problems are at the heart of the outbreaks as opposed to the usual accusations that vendors cause cholera and typhoid outbreaks.
The water supply situation in Harare remains dire. The City is producing 520 megalitres per day, 60% of which is unaccounted for water. The City is therefore practically providing (water that actually reaches consumers) about a quarter (200 mega liters) of water a day against a daily demand of over 800mega liters. There seems to be no clear plan to address this issue and we implore the new Mayor of Harare, Councilor, Hebert Gomba to ensure that water provision is at the heart of his new term of office. We implore the Mayor to ensure that the water account is ring fenced. Water services remain the cash cow of the City and yet it is the service that continues to suffer most under the guise that residents are not paying bills, with an expanded wage bill as a contributor to poor service delivery. We also implore the Government to resuscitate the public-sector investment program that will provide resources to rehabilitate the dilapidated water infrastructure.
a. Provide consistent supply of clean and portable water even if it means through water bowsers, especially in the affected areas to contain the spread of the disease.
b. Attend to the sewer bursts and ensure that the burst pipes and blockages are fixed as urgently as human possible.
c. Assess the safety and quality of borehole in the area.
d. Engage the civil society organizations, community advocacy groups and the local community on an urgent conscientisation program and raise awareness on cholera and typhoid.
f. As the rain season approaches the City of Harare and Chitungwiza must release their state of preparedness plans to contain the disease outbreaks that normally accompany rains. It cannot be that every year people lose life due to outbreaks.
g. Develop a plan to manage its staff costs that continue to gobble over half of the City's budget.
Call upon the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission to investigate this flagrant violation of our fundamental right to life, health and clean water and ensure that there is substantial compliance by the City. If at all, the City of Harare must be held responsible for this needless loss of life.
That the forthcoming 2019 City budget must make water provision as a priority. Further we implore the Ministry of Finance to ensure that in its forthcoming 2019 budget there are substantive meaningful and sizeable budget provisions for rehabilitation of liquid waste infrastructure as well as water provision for local authorities as envisaged under devolution.
The City of Harare, the Ministry of Health and Local government must assist the families that have lost their members in every way possible.


The makers of a new programmer's assistant for Python developers are tapping machine learning technology to build new kinds of programming tools. Kite, billed by its creators as "the AI copilot for Python programmers," is a code-completion system designed to go beyond the conventional auto-suggest algorithms found in IDEs.
Kite integration is available for most every major code editor--Atom, PyCharm/IntelliJ, Sublime Text, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, and Vim. Right now, Kite supports only Python, but the Kite development team plans to support other languages as well.


Walking in Sweden and in Västra Götaland has become very popular and there are more and more international tourists who come to the region to walk the various paths here. There is a need to coordinate work with walking paths in Västra Götaland Region, and we have now started to develop cultural paths and coordinate this with the region's pilgrim paths.
Several of the medieval paths in Sweden have been listed and signposted and new routes have been added, which contemporary pilgrims are walking. The quality of the paths varies, however, and several services such as food and accommodation centres need to be improved along many of the sections of the paths to meet the needs of walkers.
Västra Götaland's regional cultural plan for 2016–2019 states under Development of Cultural Attractions that efforts must be made "to develop cultural walks in Västra Götaland and coordinate this work with the region's pilgrim paths."
A first step in the process of coordinating the various actors involved in the work with pilgrim paths in VGR took place in autumn 2016, when a preliminary study funded by the Culture Committee in Västra Götaland Region was started. The aim of the preliminary study is to put together an up-to-date list of the players working with the paths, look at how the jobs are allocated and the quality of the path sections, how to best develop the pilgrim paths and the need for coordination. The preliminary study will culminate in a proposal for how we can safeguard the paths in the long-term and bring them up to international standards.
During the autumn of 2016, Västarvet and the Tourism Council of West Sweden listed 400 kilometres of pilgrim paths in the region. During the winter we will compile exciting stories from the areas around the pilgrim paths near the Göta Canal and Ätradalsleden. Communicating the unique history of these places, connecting the past with the present and highlighting the values involved is one way of kindling interest in the paths and attracting new walkers. The paths are included in the Sustainable Product Development project at the Agency for Economic and Regional Growth.
The Tourism Council in West Sweden has also begun to work with some sections of the walks to create products connected with stay-eat-do to increase services along the paths.

Took a gorgeous day-hike with my friend Kate up from the Cheakamus parking lot in Function to the Summit of Panorama Ridge. A fairly mellow hike, we saw a lot of xc runners, hikers, and people just generally enjoying the Sunday sunshine. I've gotten a lot more into hiking in the past year, mostly because it's the first year I haven't been slammed with trying to train, save money, and race World Cups full time. I finally had a summer home, and, after staring at all the beautiful mountains that surround us in the Sea to Sky Corridor, I decided it was high time I climbed some of them.
Staring down my next hike: The Black Tusk has always been a goal of mine, and now that I have more time, I plan to get to the summit before the snow does.
The views at the top never disappoint. Wedge was so incredibly beautiful last weekend with a fresh dusting of snow, and Panorama Ridge was a whole other kind of epic with its 360 degree views including the ever-turquoise Garibaldi lake and the Black Tusk.
Once we reached the summit we found a nice flat spot to take in the view, brew some coffee, and plan/dream up future adventures. Kate got a new camping stove so we (obviously) had to test it out (#soauthentic). It felt almost too cliche and trendy as we set up the stove, but after one sip of coffee, I couldn't have cared less.
It was a bit of a scramble up/down from the ridge; not bad if you have two hands but my pal Kate is rocking a broken hand at the moment, which proved to be a little challenging in some of the more loose sections. The Tusk scramble will have to wait.
We goofed around at the top, stalling for as long as possible, wishing we had brought our camping gear. We reluctantly headed back towards Cheakamus lake, and it was completely dark by the time we got to the truck. I blame it on the overly epic views and my constant need to take photos with my GoPro.
Our bums, because why would we face the camera when we can face that view?!
The water levels around the two lakes at the base of the tusk were fairly low. Moonscape trails led us back to the meadows; a sharp contrast to the vast turquoise waters of Garibaldi lake on the other side of the ridge.
We hit the grocery store hard on our way home and cooked some good old fashioned steak and potatoes. The remainder of our evening was spend weeding through umpteen failed time-lapses, laughing hysterically at how un-photogenic we are, and drinking tea. All in all it was an absolutely amazing day, and I can't wait for the next one!

Our former Prime Minister awakened to add his liberal stamp to the hype debate of becoming a republic. As prime minister with a majority of 52 seats out of 60, Mr. Patterson should have accomplished this goal. A skilled politician within a tribalistic culture lacked the revolutionary courage as our Hero Marcus Garvey. Unbeknown to most Jamaicans, Mr.Patterson graduated from the London School of economics, a training ground for liberal pro-British aspirants. He represented the conservative faction within the PNP, the anti-thesis of the Michael Manley democratic socialist wing. Mr.Patterson was famous for talking a good game abroad but carrying out the most significant transfer of wealth from the poor to the wealthy elites at home. He continued with the IMF poison without the IMF. Mr. Patterson failed the majority of black Jamaicans. Like the rest of retired prime ministers, they are assigned a post at the University of the West Indies to continue exposing their moribund policies.


Evolution and learning are two fundamental forms of adaptation. SEAL'08 is the seventh biennial conference in the highly successful series that aims at exploring these two forms of adaptation and their roles and interactions in adaptive systems. Cross-fertilisation between evolutionary learning and other machine learning approaches, such as neural network learning, reinforcement learning, decision tree learning, fuzzy system learning, etc., will be strongly encouraged by the conference. The other major theme of the conference is optimisation by evolutionary approaches or hybrid evolutionary approaches. The topics of interest to this conference include but are not limited to the following: Evolutionary Learning; Evolutionary Optimisation; Hybrid Learning; Adaptive Systems; Theoretical Issues in Evolutionary Computation; Real-World Applications of Evolutionary Computation Techniques.
All accepted papers which are presented at the conference will be included in the conference proceedings, published as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) by Springer. Selected best papers will be invited for further revisions and extensions for possible publications by two journal special issues (Soft Computing and Evolutionary Intelligence).
Here is a PDF version of the Call-For-Papers.

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, the presence of high sugar (glucose) levels in the blood. The level of glucose in the blood is regulated by insulin hormone. The normal level of glucose in the blood should be between 70 and 100mg/dL (fasting) and < 140 mg/dL (random). (There are different views about the normal range of blood glucose. Please discuss with your healthcare team.) Impaired production or function of insulin increases glucose levels in the blood.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, in which the insulin producing cells are mistakenly killed by the body's defense system; hence, decreasing the production of insulin and increasing the accumulation of blood sugar.
Stages of diabetes are decided based on blood glucose levels. If your blood glucose levels are between 100 and 125 mg/dL (fasting) and 141 to 200 mg/dL (random) then you are considered to be in the pre-diabetic stage. At this stage, although the blood sugar level is high it cannot be classified as diabetes and the sugar levels can be controlled by weight loss and exercise. Blood glucose levels >126 mg/dL (fasting) and ≥200 mg/dL (random) is considered a diabetic stage. The development of type 2 diabetes at a young age increases the risk of diabetes progressing into complications such as neuropathy.
Fasting blood glucose test: The fasting blood glucose test is the preferred test for diagnosing diabetes. A sample of blood is drawn after fasting overnight and tested for levels of glucose. Levels of 100 to 125mg/dL is inferred as prediabetes, while levels more than 125 mg/dL on two or more separate tests on different days indicates diabetes.
Treatment of diabetes involves diet, exercise, medications and other lifestyle improvements. These will help to maintain normal blood sugar levels and prevent or minimize complications of diabetes.
Diet: Eat a consistent well-balanced diet that is high in fiber, and low in saturated fats and concentrated sweets.
