Q: Consolas font occasionally turns ugly, blurry after months of sharpness I've been running Windows 7 for the past few months using the default Consolas font and in the past couple of days it seems to randomly turn ugly and blurry. Consider this from Visual Studio (I don't have Resharper installed):

I am running this on a monitor 24" monitor with a resolution of 1920x1200. However, a computer I have downstairs (I can't quite remember off the top of my head the resolution) with the same font seems to be in a permanent state of ugliness - even in Windows Explorer.
I ran the ClearType tuning tool on both systems numerous times with no change.

Jason Fitger is a beleaguered professor of creative writing and literature at Payne University, a small and not very distinguished liberal arts college in the midwest. His department is facing draconian cuts and squalid quarters, while one floor above them the Economics Department is getting lavishly remodeled offices. His once-promising writing career is in the doldrums, as is his romantic life, in part as the result of his unwise use of his private affairs for his novels. His star (he thinks) student can't catch a break with his brilliant (he thinks) work Accountant in a Bordello, based on Melville's Bartleby. In short, his life is a tale of woe, and the vehicle this droll and inventive novel uses to tell that tale is a series of hilarious letters of recommendation that Fitger is endlessly called upon by his students and colleagues to produce, each one of which is a small masterpiece of high dudgeon, low spirits, and passive-aggressive strategies. We recommend Dear Committee Members to you in the strongest possible terms.
"Dear Committee Members is a brilliant book that, in my head, sits comfortably on my prized shelf of academic novels, right between Lucky Jim and Pictures from an Institution. But it's funnier than either, and more wrenching in the end. The conceit of a novel told in letters of reference is inspired, and it is killingly funny because it's all so killingly true. Truth walks here in the strangest of costumes, and in part because of its guises, we can face it, frown, laugh, cry. I've never lost an afternoon so happily." —Jay Parini, author of The Last Station and The Passages of H.M.

Evoplay Slots RTP
Even if you want to very much, the company cannot be praised for the RTP of its products. The highest RTP is 96.5%, while the lowest is only 92%. Thus it comes out that the average RTP of slots products is no more than 94-95%. For a studio looking to gain a strong foothold in the industry, this is a poor showing in their output. The lag from the best of the best developers is 2, and even 3 units.
Despite this flaw in their products, the company shows excellent performance. They have won numerous awards at prestigious international awards dedicated to iGaming. This suggests that even a young studio, whose experts are passionate about what they do and strive to deliver quality games, has every chance of claiming the top spot. All they have to do is to work on this important parameter so that players will be interested in the company's slots as often as possible.
Best 7 Evoplay Slots
The average RTP of the Evoplay catalogue has been dealt with. And now we can look at this question point by point. Among the best games in terms of RTP in the leaderboard are:
E. T. Lost Socks with an RTP of 96.5% and a maximum multiplier of x50
Elven Princesses with an RTP of 96.4% and a maximum multiplier of x100
Raccoon Tales with an RTP of 96.2% and a maximum multiplier of x2,286
Hungry Night with an RTP of 96.2% and a maximum multiplier of x50
Jolly Treasures with an RTP of 96.2% and a maximum multiplier of x3,385
Night of the Living Tales with an RTP of 96.2% and a maximum multiplier of x3,373
Epic Legends with an RTP of 96.16% and a maximum multiplier of x1,515.
Evoplay Slots Features
Surprise and fun are the two principles by which any provider creates games. Evoplay, although new to iGaming, understands these principles and strives to delight its customers. To that end, the experts put a variety of bonus options into the algorithms of each game:
Wild, Sticky Wild, Random Wilds/ Additional Wilds (Elven Princess)
Scatter (E.T. LOST Socks)
Free Spins, Additional Free Spins (Night of the Living Tales)
Expanding Symbol (GangStar Night)
Bonus symbols (Bloody Brilliant)
Multiplier, Free Spins Multiplier (Curse of the Pharaoh)
Cluster Pays (Raccoon Tales)
Avalanche / Cascading wins (Candy Dreams)
Mega symbol (Hungry Night)
Bonus game (Legends of Ra)
Hold and Spin (Christmas Reach)
Respin (Brutal Santa)
Buy Feature (Gold of Sirens).
Evoplay Gaming specialises in creating 5-reel slot machines. In order to diversify its gaming content, the provider has released several slot models with three, seven and eight reels active. The range of bets in the company's games varies between EUR 0.1 and EUR 500. At the same time, most of the simulators accept bets from 0.1 EUR to 100 EUR.
Most of the time, studios have 20-30 fixed lines in the mechanics of their products. There are also models in the portfolio with fewer lines (e.g. 3) and more (60). For fans of big winnings, there is one good piece of news. There are several games with progressive jackpots.
Evoplay Slots List
Although the company was only established in 2017, it has managed to win many different awards in the iGaming industry. Remarkably, Evoplay has created more than 150 games over the course of its existence. That works out to an average of 30 games released by the company each year. Just imagine! To release that much game content in 5 years. Today it is the clear leader in the slots release theme. None of the currently existing providers can boast of such results. And if you compare the number of games in the portfolio with other providers, Evoplay today is on a par with the major developers of the gambling market. Just imagine what it will be like in another 5 years!
Fairness of Evoplay Slots
The company is building its portfolio quite aggressively and must comply with all international and gaming standards. Evoplay's games use a random number generator that generates the result of each individual round. In order to keep it as fair and random as possible, the developer is certified by third-party software testing companies. Evoplay is currently certified by eCOGRA, GLi, and Gaming Labs Certified. In addition, the provider has licensed its operations under the laws of Curacao, Malta, and the UK.
Mobile Evoplay Slots
Evoplay aims to create games that can run on a multitude of modern platforms. From desktops and laptops with Windows, Unix and macOS operating systems. From mobile phones and tablets with Android and iOS operating systems. In any case, no matter where you run ISP games they will work perfectly without errors on any screen. Moreover, your devices won't get overloaded. This is all thanks to the HTML5 technology implemented by developer Evoplay. To start playing on your mobile device you only need to launch the game in the browser of your phone or tablet.
Evoplay Slots Sound and Graphics
Truth be told, this is a pretty serious developer with a lot to look forward to. You'll find yourself in lost worlds, or you'll become a gangster, or maybe you'll get Pharaoh's attention and he'll make you rich! Either story has great graphics, where all the colours are perfectly matched and each of the rounds has its own animation. You'll spend your time with the best slots that thousands of players from all over the world enjoy. And the pleasant and appropriate music will further immerse you in the game.

In potentially good points news for those who like the finer things in life, Four Seasons has announced that it will launch a new loyalty program. With 91 properties around the world and plans for 60 more, they plan to launch the new program in the third quarter of 2013.
Four Seasons announced that it will launch a new loyalty program.
According to Regional vice president and GM Four Seasons Hotels Thailand Rami Sayess, who was speaking at the group's annual Four Seasons University media event, "We're one of the companies that has resisted having a programme for many, many years. But today, we realise that like everything else, this is changing in the world and we are going to have to roll out [a loyalty programme].
While several luxury chains, including Peninsula and Mandarin Oriental, have also resisted putting loyalty programs into place, Four Seasons was by far the largest not to do so, especially when major competitors like Ritz-Carlton, Shangri-La and Fairmont/Raffles among others had done so.
The Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills.
As I've pointed out in reviews of some of my Four Seasons stays, however, the point of points and loyalty programs is to find ways to pull added value and benefits from your stays and loyalty, and Four Seasons often allows guests to do so by participating in programs like Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts or Visa Signature Hotels so that travelers booking through these engines get extra perks including upgrades, internet and parking, and property credits for food and beverage or spa thrown in.
However, I do think it will be valuable to have a quantifiable loyalty program in place so that customers know what they're getting and can find a return on their spending in the form of free nights. At this time, the facts are still scarce about the program, so I'm not sure if it will be points-based like Ritz-Carlton's, or more like the stay-based systems of Kimpton or Leading Hotels of the World and what kind of elite status component will be included. However, I do hope that there will be a co-branded credit card that will confer extra perks such as automatic elite status or late check-out and the ability to rack up points toward free stays.


Pilates when practised regularly has a wide range of benefits. It improves muscle tone, posture, balance, fitness, strength and mobility while being a great way to relieve tension and stress.
As part of a corporate wellness programme it can encourage healthier lifestyle choices and raise staff morale. The result is a more motivated and productive workforce and altogether happier working environment. Pilates can reverse many of the stresses and strains associated with work, and bring about a reduction in absenteeism.
Our Pilates team can run corporate Pilates classes on your site and we can tailor programmes according to the working environment and the kind of work carried out there. On-site Pilates is available for people of any age and fitness level, which means that any of your employees can participate.
We are entirely flexible with regard to timing and can fit in with your schedule. We can provide pre-working day Pilates sessions, lunchtime sessions and sessions after work. All our instructors are fully qualified and love their job.
Proven to help all types of people, Pilates gives strength without bulk, stretches your muscles, improves your posture, and can help ease lower back pain. It helps realign your body, leaving you feeling healthier and more relaxed.
Anyone can do Pilates as it is suitable for people of all ages, fitness and health. Programmes can be tailored to individual needs. For example, for older, less mobile adults, we focus on balance, posture and co-ordination.
Pilates is also excellent for injury rehab as it is a gentle way of strengthening weak areas and raising activity levels.
What sort of Pilates classes are available?

Marked PAK in iron-red for Pieter Adriaensz. Kocx, the owner of De Grieksche A (The Greek A) Factory from 1701 to 1703, or more likely for his widow Johanna van der Heul, the owner from 1703 to 1722.
Each painted in the Imari palette of iron-red, blue and gold with a central basket or urn of flowers with a beribboned handle within a roundel with an inner border of scroll-edged floral panels alternating with smaller blue demi-ruyi-head devices, and an outer border of iron-red foliate lappets and iron-red and gold blossom-and-scroll devices, the rim with a border of the same blue demi-ruyi- head devices alternating with an iron-red variation, all interrupting a band of dotted scalework at the edge, the reverse with six-iron-red stylised floral sprigs on the rim.


Mrs. Jessica Raynott loomed over her son, her eyes flashing.
Declan fidgeted with his shirt, worn and stained from weeks of travel. His mother hadn't even given him a chance to change clothes before sitting him down for questioning. Declan's mind raced as he weighed his options. He could either try to explain the situation to his mother, and most likely be shouted down, or he could sit and let his mother finish her accusations. He usually decided on the latter, but, weeks of travel had changed that. If he could live alone in London for two weeks, he was skilled enough to defend his own case. And, skilled enough or not, the part about abandoning his brother had irked him.
Declan broke in as respectfully as possible.
In the corner Declan's father murmured a quiet wish that his uncle had never set off for Africa.
Mrs. Raynott spun towards her husband.
Robert opened his mouth to agree, but a knock on the door interrupted him. Declan's older sister Cara, who had been desperate to leave for some time, seized the chance by running to the door, closely followed by her younger brother Thomas. After a few minutes of tense silence, the pair returned. They looked nervously at one another for a moment then, upon perceiving that Thomas was not going to speak, Cara began.
Her eyes, desperation in their depths, landed on Declan. He knew she longed to hear that this was a long-lost friend who'd safely received Oliver in Africa. As much as he wished he could tell her that, Declan shook his head. He had never heard of Madame Violette. Jessica closed her eyes for a moment then reached out her hand.
Cara silently handed it over, her hands shaking with apprehension.
Slowly, Jessica broke the seal and pulled out a single sheet of white paper. She read it for a moment, and then, very calmly, as though too amazed at its contents to react in any other way, handed it to Robert. Putting down his pen, Robert read it, and then, with the same eerie calm of Mrs. Raynott, began to speak.
Declan didn't understand for a moment. He understood his father's words, that his brother's ship had sank and that Oliver had been buried, but he didn't immediately realize what they implied. Then as the facts came together, Declan stood and abruptly left the room.
The Raynott's lived on a rocky stretch of beach, which ended in a little bay of grey ocean. There were some paths on the sandy part, down to the shore and to a miniature river where younger children often played. If you turned left from the gate, however, one would find a few acres of sandy wilderness, thick with plants and tangy with the smell of sea salt. This is where Declan always went to think. Why hadn't he been allowed board the ship? He had planned to up until the day before they were due to leave. Then, barely twelve hours before they were scheduled to go, Declan had developed so extreme a form of chicken pox that he hadn't been able to leave his bed. Two days after Oliver had left, the sickness had disappeared, leaving no harm. Declan had been rescued from the ship, and, as he realized this, he resolved not to waste the life which had been spared.

& The Arts
by Frederick Foote
On this cold December evening in 1962, we're in North Philly again on another dubious mission. Walter, Houston and me, Teofilo Jackson. Memories of our last SNAFU weigh heavy on me and Houston's minds—we got lost, our dates gave up on us, and someone lifted Houston's wallet. I'm beginning to doubt there's very much brotherly love in this city for us GIs. It's a quick bus ride from the McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey, some thirty miles outside of Philadelphia. And, once again, we find ourselves running late.
We're off to see three sisters: Anhinga, Tern and Teal. These names don't inspire much confidence at all. Who, in their right minds, would name their daughters like that? These are, according to Walter, "truly red hot foxes." The problem is Walter has strange taste in women. I mean, he dates one of the finest women I have ever seen, but he also dates some skanks, and just strange, odd, off-the-wall type women. We've never even seen a picture of these women. Walter met Anhinga on the bus coming from the City. On the basis of that slender contact, we're expending time and money to check this out. Houston and I don't have high hopes, but Walter's cool, and he has rolled on some crash and burn missions with us before. We owe him this one.
"Man, if we cut across there we can save about ten minutes," he says. The "there" Walter's talking about is the projects. Walter's good with maps so we rely on his navigation, but the projects are clear danger zones.
We all know better. These projects are gang turf. Intruders are not welcome. The men are not in uniform and projects gangs are leery of all outsiders. But the reward is worth the risk—even if Anhinga and her sisters are as ugly as homemade sin we need to redeem ourselves and make it there before they give up on us too. That shit could become habit forming.
We enter the enemy space, stepping quick, but not running, as we proceed across the no-man's land of high-rise concrete canyons. They let us get halfway through before they show themselves—a handful of gangsters block our path and surround us. Shit, they the most dangerous thugs of all, not the adult full grown gangsters or the fifteen to eighteen year-old apprentice gangsters, no these are the twelve to fourteen year-olds. Wild-ass kids out of control of parents, school and God. Even the older gangsters don't know what to make of the wild young ones. These little monsters probably kill and maim just to past the time of day. There are eight or nine of them. They look as happy to ambush us as regular kids do on Christmas morning. They herd us off the main path to a patch of bare ground invisible from the street.
"You lame ass niggers must be crazy. What you doing up in here?" The small, thin and very black, gang leader, with a head too big for his body, approaches us. He's not so impressive except for the open switch blade he tosses from hand to hand with ease and confidence.
"Faggot social workers come to take somebody's kids," says a tall, skinny kid with a letter jacket, a do rag and tennis shoes so raggedy that his rusty feet show through.
"Jack, you fucking blind. These ain't no damn social workers. They selling insurance or some shit," says a short and stout thug with a big natural, and thick brutal bruised knuckled hands.
Houston tries to speak. "Look fellows we mean no harm. We—"
The boys dissolve into laughter, and mess with Houston for a while.
"Man you sound like you got a mouth full of shit."
"That boy from way down yonder."
"You talk too slooooow Negro. You got dropsy or something."
"Where you from dufus?" A good looking brown skin boy in a sweatshirt and leather jacket, turns and starts talking to me.
"California." I say it offhand without any sense of pride.
A visible wave of disbelief passes over the boys.
"That nigger lying. He from Newark. Shit, I know his sister."
"Shit, me too. She sucked my dick last night."
"Who you trying to fool suckers? We'll beat the black off you Jersey fools."
"If he from California, I'm James Bonds"
"That nigger can't spell California."
"He ain't got no surf board. Where your surf board, nigger?"
When the boys finally quiet down a bit, I continue. "I'm Teofilo –"
I have to wait for a new round of laughter to subside. "And this is Walter. He's from California too. And this is Houston. He's from Texas by way of Alabama. And, you right about me being from Jersey. We stationed at McGuire Air Force Base in Jersey, but my homes in California. I was born and raised there."
The boys have a hundred questions about California, Hollywood, and my home town, "Oak Land." They demand proof that I'm from California. Walter and I show them our California driver's licenses. Each of them has to look at both licenses, twice.
The key questions Walter and I always get are: do we know any movie stars? Have we seen any movie stars? That kind of stuff.
"Sure, I know a movie star. I know Harry Belafonte," I say.
None of them believe me. Even Walter and Houston grimace when I say that. I banter with the boys for a while and finally I pull out my wallet again and remove a picture of me and my moms with Harry Belafonte. The gangsters are almost hysterical with glee. They keep passing the picture around, but they're very careful with it. They won't let one snotty nose boy touch the picture. They hold it out in front of him for inspection Shorty, the switch blade boy, says he going to hold onto my Belafonte picture until we come back. Shit, my moms has the negative of that picture. I think of Shorty's picture as paying a toll. But, I think I'll not be using his toll road again anytime soon. My uncle works as a set builder in Hollywood, and got us the picture with Mr. Belafonte. I also have a picture with me and Marilyn Monroe, which I keep at home. But I don't tell anyone about that picture. That's too special to share.
We soon arrive at a warm, comfortable row house full of good cooking. At last a place in Philly where GIs are welcomed and appreciated. Anhinga is a lovely, tall, coffee colored, twenty-year old woman with straight hair, a long face, huge eyes and sensuous lips. She's smart and claims to play a mean boogie woogie piano. Tern is eighteen, a bit shorter with brown skin, curly, close-cropped hair and a face designed to laugh and smile. She plays flute and sax and believes that she's a better musician than her big sister. I claim her on sight. She don't object. I give Walter the thumbs up sign when the sisters aren't watching. Teal is seventeen, light skinned, with hair that's a blending of straight and curly. She's the shortest and stacked like a brick house. She's the family percussionist, but she plays just about any instrument. She's hot. They all share large eyes, a gracious manner and a southern Louisiana accent. We have hit the jackpot.
Their mother's a school teacher, the family piano instructor, and lead vocalist. Their father's a postal worker and a big thumping bass player. We eat gumbo, rice, baked country ham, greens, cornbread, sweet tea, apple and peach cobbler and pecan pie. After stuffing ourselves, we move back the living room furniture, roll back the rug and they get their instruments. The family plays up a storm and shake the rafters. We dance, talk, joke around, laugh and laugh and eat some more. I can't remember the last time I had such a good time without liquor or weed. By the time we have to go, I'm in love with the whole damn Durant family. What I don't understand, is how the local brothers cannot be all up on these girls. In my neighborhood there would be a line of guys stretching down the block to talk to these music making, booty-shaking women. We ain't had nothing stronger than tea to drink, but the three of us are high as we can be as we leave our new favorite place.
We barely clear the stoop when they come at us—five young black men dressed in dark dress pants and heavy dark coats with spit-shined Stacy Adams on their big ass feet. They're about our age but look to be ten years of prison hard knocks tougher. They try to surround us but we keep the stoop at our back.
"You gentleman lost? You don't look like you from around here." The speaker has his coat open. He has on a sharp, pin striped dark blue suit, a black shirt and a maroon tie. He smiles like a shark looking at a tuna fish.
Walter looks at each of the gangsters in turn before responding. "Deacons, brothers, you didn't have to come out here on a cold night like this just to welcome us to the neighborhood. We thank you for–"
A heavy set gangster cuts Walter off. "We ain't no deacons chump. We here to put you poachers in check, send your punk asses to the emergency room or the morgue."
Walter smiles at the interrupter and points at him. "Baptist, I was just telling my friends you guys don't dress good enough to be Methodist or Episcopalian you got to be Baptist."
A tall, skinny yellow Negro with gap teeth spits out a response. "Shit, who you talking about you Salvation Army-dressing Negro?"
Houston answers him immediately. "Brother I'm gonna pray for you, for God to heal your color blind ass, mixing that garbage green shirt with that piss colored tie."
"Hold on, hold on now, where you niggers from? Tell me now because I want to know where to send the bodies of you trash talking fools," says Pinstripe Suit, holding out his hand to quiet his boys and take control.
It's my turn to get in on this. "Whoa, whoa, yourself Reverend, that's classified information. We can't tell you that, right?" I look to Houston and Walter for conformation.
Walter shakes his head and responds. "It's OK. I think it'll be OK. They's men of the cloth and he old enough to know."
I shrug OK. "Well, last night I was with your mama."
Houston quickly adds, "I was with your girlfriend. She told me tell you, goodbye and so long."
Walter dashes in with the last word. "Shit, I was with your sister. And it was OK once I got that sack over her head."
We have lit the fuses and we all explode into action. Pinstripe moves in, swinging at Walter. Walter ducks, twist to the side and kicks pin stripe in the gut. It don't even slow Pinstripe down. I see Houston land a quick combination on the heavyset Negro before the tall yellow Negro catches me with a solid right hand on the left side of my head. Somebody kicks me in the side on the way down. I hit the sidewalk hard. I kick up and catch one of them in the balls. He grunts, grimaces and slides away from the action. I know we're going to lose. There's too many and they're seasoned street fighters, but we got no choice here. I'm covering up as fist and feet are coming at me from every direction.
There is a click, a little sharp click that freezes all us sweating fools in the cold night air. A second click and we turn toward the sound of the double-barreled shotgun being cocked. Mr. Durant's on his stoop with his shotgun at his shoulder.
"Chester, I'm losing my patience with you boy," he says to Pinstripe Suit. "We can end this here and now or you can walk away from here and never bother my family again, your choice boy."
Chester starts to say something, but Durant cuts him off. "Time for talking's over. Walk or pull that little pistol of yours," he says.
Chester looks at Mr. Durant like he's thinking about his chances. Finally, Chester shakes his head. He and his boys resentfully move on off down the street, throwing evil looks at us and muttering under their breath.
The angels of mercy rescue us from the stoop and help us into their house. We got our bumps and lumps, but there're no broken bones. And the nurses, my God, I would take an ass whipping any day to have Tern hold my head in her lap and nurse me with loving hands and tender kisses. Mr. Durant drives us to the EL. We don't wait for our train. We take the first thing smoking. As the train's pulling off Houston points out the window at the platform. Them same damn Baptist gangsters are boiling up on the platform. Man, I'm sure glad to see these Philly boys are at least fighting for something worth fighting for.
Oh, just to let you know, we never do get back to the Durants. A few days after the Battle of Durant Stoop, Walter gets a letter from Anhinga apologizing to us. She says that she's trying to make things work out for her and Chester before somebody gets killed. Her whole family's now against her and that her sisters were not even speaking to her anymore.
And you know what that damn Walter did? He wrote her back and told her to stick to her guns and do what she needed to do. He told her that her family loves her and that they would come around. Houston and I were furious with Walter for a day or two. Houston still hasn't forgiven him, but he will, and next week we'll be on the road again after payday.

Who has the Premier League's best midfield?
Simon Knights
3rd July 2013, 5:05 pm
Updated: 5th July 2013, 10:50 am
Following confirmation that Tottenham Hotspur are close to concluding a £17m deal that will see Corinthians star Paulinho move to White Hart Lane, many Spurs fans are claiming that they have a midfield which will be the envy of the Premier League.
Indeed, Spurs do boast an impressive middle, which will undoubtedly be taken to the next level following the signing of Paulinho, but do they really have the best midfield in the country? We're talking the engine room here, the central midfield, not the players that float between the wings and the strikers. We thought we'd put it to talkSPORT fans to decide, but in an age where it is increasingly difficult to pin down a player's position, we've restricted it to just central midfielders, so have your say by commenting below.
Click the arrow on the image on the right to see who we've included and then let us know who you think has the best midfield in the Premier League below.
Tottenham: Paulinho, Sandro, Mousa Dembele, Scott Parker – The centre of Tottenham's midfield looks like a force to be reckoned with, as Andre Villas-Boas mulls over who to select for the centre of the park. With these four to pick from, he is in a very envious position. But are they they best central midfield quartet in the top flight? Click the arrow for more.
Arsenal: Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta, Abou Diaby, Aaron Ramsey – The Gunners have a raft of technically gifted midfield players capable of unlocking most Premier League defences, but one criticism has been their lack of a physical presence in the centre of the park. Where Arsenal once had Patrick Vieira, they now have Mikel Arteta and while the Spaniard is hugely influential, he doesn't provide the same level of aggression. Click the arrow for more.
Liverpool: Steven Gerrard, Lucas Leiva, Joe Allen, Jordan Henderson – Liverpool's engine room has undergone a number of changes over the past few seasons and while it is still a work in progress, it is good enough to rival most top flight teams. Steven Gerrard has been the epitome of everything that has been good about the Reds for the past decade, while Lucas Leiva has developed into a fine holding midfielder. The jury remains out on Joe Allen who had a mixed first season at Anfield, while Jordan Henderson is finally showing improvement. Click the arrow for more.
Man United: Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley, Ryan Giggs, Anderson – Michael Carrick was imperious in the centre of the pitch for Man United last season, offering flawless passing and acting as a good mentor for the blossoming talent of Tom Cleverley. He is still developing as a player though and whereas Ryan Giggs offers experience, he will not have many years left at this level. A huge criticism of United has been their lack of midfield steel and another creative outlet, with Paul Scholes forced out of retirement. Click the arrow for more.
Man City: Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Gareth Barry, Jack Rodwell, Javi Garcia – New Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini will have a selection nightmare when he presides over this pool of talent. Yaya Toure remains one of the finest players in the world and the acquisition of Fernandinho can only benefit City's already bustling ranks. Despite seemingly out of favour at the Etihad, Gareth Barry is still a good resource to call upon, as is Jack Rodwell. And not forgetting Javi Garcia!
Chelsea: Frank Lampard, Ramires, John Obi Mikel, Michael Essien – Once possessing a midfield which was arguably the envy of much of Europe, Chelsea's central ranks are now creaking under the weight of their success. Despite his advancing years Frank Lampard remains hugely important, as does Ramires who has been quietly consistent since his arrival from Benfica. However, with question marks hovering over the effectiveness of John Obi Mikel and Michael Essien's role yet to be defined, is the Blues' midfield still strong?

Blood from stem cells
by Kelsey Kaustinen	| Email the author
Weill Cornell Medicine
NEW YORK—Blood donors, like organ donors, are always in demand--not just for regular transfusions, but also for the treatment of diseases such as leukemia, kidney or liver disease and hemophilia, among others. Renewable sources of healthy blood, specifically those which could be replicated in the lab and matched safely with patients, represent a goal line that has long been out of reach.
That goal is one step closer now, though, as a team at Weill Cornell Medicine has developed and demonstrated a technique for generating healthy blood cells by reprogramming endothelial cells—a first for any research team. The results of this work were published in a paper titled "Conversion of adult endothelium to immunocompetent hematopoietic stem cells," which appeared in Nature.
"This is a game-changing breakthrough that brings us closer not only to treat blood disorders, but also deciphering the complex biology of stem-cell self-renewal machinery," said senior author Dr. Shahin Rafii, director of the Ansary Stem Cell Institute, chief of the Division of Regenerative Medicine and the Arthur B. Belfer Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are long-lived cells that develop into all types of blood cells, while circulating blood cells have short lifespans and must be continuously reproduced. HSCs are capable of "self renewal" to create more of themselves, which enables a few thousand of these cells to generate all of an individual's blood cells throughout their life. Work to coerce the body into producing healthy HSCs has failed in the past due to an inability to create the proper environment, but that is a problem that might have finally been solved by the Weill Cornell team.
The researchers were able to develop a technique that converts vascular endothelial cells, which line blood vessels, into fully functioning HSCs that can be transplanted. In addition, they found that certain types of endothelial cells serve as vascular niche cells, the nurturing environment needed for HSCs to develop; these cells coordinate the new, converted HSCs' ability of self-renewal.
Rafii's lab has a history of work with endothelial cells in various parts of the body. As noted on his faculty page, Rafii "has established the concept that vascular endothelial cells are not just inert plumbing to deliver oxygen and nutrients, but also by production of tissue-specific growth factors, defined as angiocrine factors, support organ regeneration and tumor proliferation. He has shown that bone marrow endothelial cells by elaboration of angiocrine factors, such as Notch ligands, support stem cell self-renewal and differentiation into lymphoid and myeloid progenitors. He has recently demonstrated that liver and lung endothelial cells are endowed with unique phenotypic and functional attributes and by production of unique instructive growth factors contribute to the hepatic and alveolar regeneration."
"We think the difference is the vascular niche," contributing author Dr. Jason Butler, an assistant professor of regenerative medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, commented in a press release. "Growing stem cells in the vascular niche puts them back into context, where they come from and multiply. We think this is why we were able to get stem cells capable of self- renewing."
Efforts in this field have been underway for several years. In a 2014 Nature study, the team demonstrated that it was possible to convert adult human vascular endothelial cells into hematopoietic cells, though they couldn't prove that had engineered HSCs. This time around, the researchers used their conversion approach on mouse blood marrow transplant models featuring normal immune function. Vascular endothelial cells isolated from adult mice organs were programmed to overproduce proteins linked with blood stem-cell function, then grown and multiplied in co-culture with the engineered vascular niche. The cells, now reprogrammed HSCs, were transplanted as single cells with their 'offspring'—which included white and red blood cells and immune cells—into mice with no blood-forming or immune systems to isolate their results.
Rafii and his colleagues, in collaboration with Dr. Olivier Elemento, associate director of the HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud Institute for Computational Biomedicine, and Dr. Jenny Xiang, the director of Genomics Services, were able to demonstrate that the reprogrammed HSCs and their differentiated progeny cells had the same genetic attributes as normal adult stem cells. In addition, the transplanted HSCs were able to regenerate the entire blood system in the model mice for the duration of their lifetimes, also known as engraftment, and the mice developed all the working features of the immune system. The mice in question also lived normal-length lives with no sign of any blood disorders.
As the authors noted in their abstract, "The vascular niche drives a robust self-renewal and expansion phase of rEC-HSCs (days 20–28). rEC-HSCs [reprogramming adult mouse endothelial cells to hematopoietic stem cells] have a transcriptome and long-term self- renewal capacity similar to those of adult hematopoietic stem cells, and can be used for clonal engraftment and serial primary and secondary multi-lineage reconstitution, including antigen-dependent adaptive immune function."
The team is highly optimistic about the potential for this approach, should they be able to recreate it in humans.
"It might allow us to provide healthy stem cells to patients who need bone marrow donors but have no genetic match," said co-senior author Dr. Joseph Scandura, an associate professor of medicine and scientific director of the Silver Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Center at Weill Cornell Medicine. "It could lead to new ways to cure leukemia and myeloproliferative neoplasms, and may help us correct genetic defects that cause blood diseases like sickle-cell anemia."
"More importantly, our vascular niche-stem-cell expansion model may be employed to clone the key unknown growth factors produced by this niche that are essential for self-perpetuation of stem cells," added Rafii. "Identification of those factors could be important for unraveling the secrets of stem cells' longevity and translating the potential of stem cell therapy to the clinical setting."

Q: Nested lists in R: extract and combine values according to the name/position of the sublists I store my data in a multilevel nested list. This list may look like this
my.list = list()

my.list[[1]] = list("naive" = list("a"=c(1,1)) )
my.list[[2]] = list("naive" = list("b"=c(2,1)) )
my.list[[3]] = list("naive" = list("c"=c(3,1)) )
my.list[[4]] = list("naive" = list("d"=c(4,1)) )
my.list[[5]] = list("naive" = list("e"=c(5,1)) )

Now I want to do some operations on the stored values, like selecting the first elements of the 2-d vectors and combine them in another vector. Of course this can be done like the following
foo = c(my.list[[1]][["naive"]][[1]][1],
        my.list[[2]][["naive"]][[1]][1],
        my.list[[3]][["naive"]][[1]][1],
        my.list[[4]][["naive"]][[1]][1],
        my.list[[5]][["naive"]][[1]][1])

But this is really awkward if I have many more than 5 first level sublists. And I have the same feeling about for-looping through K in my.list[[K]][["naive"]][[1]][1], K=1:5.
The suggestions provided for similar questions using neat mapply, Reduce, sapply cannot be applied directly due to presence of the "naive" second level sublist.
Can someone help we with a clever and instructive solution, where values stored according to such multilevel list structure can be concatenated, added to each other or both? In example above, the final desired result could be adding respective components for all vectors, and storing the result in a new 2-d vector, that in this case would be foo = c(15,5). Your answer would help me a lot.

A: Yeah, sapply will definitely do the trick for you in this situation:
sapply(my.list, function(x) x[["naive"]][[1]][1])

And you can generalize from here or sapply/lapply over the indices of the naive vector if you need to.

Новоте́рское — село в Наурском районе Чеченской Республики. Является административным центром Новотерского сельского поселения (включает с. Новотерское и х. Корнеев).

География
Расположено на левом берегу реки Терек, на юго-востоке от районного центра станицы Наурской.

Ближайшие населённые пункты: на севере — село Ульяновское, на северо-востоке — село Фрунзенское, на юге — село Терское, на юго-востоке — село Левобережное, на востоке — село Юбилейное, на юго-западе — станица Калиновская.

Хутор Корнеев, который входит в состав Новотерского сельского поселения, находится по отношению к селу Новотерское далеко на севере. Территория Новотерского сельского поселения до 2019 года фактически разбивалась территорией Калиновского сельского поселения (административный центр — станица Калиновская) на две не связанные друг с другом части — северную (основная территория сельского поселения, вместе с хутором Корнеев; была расположена на самом севере Наурского района) и южную (небольшая по площади часть, вместе с селом Новотерское). В 2019 году северный участок территории Новотерского сельского поселения был передан в состав Калиновского СП, однако сам хутор Корнеев по-прежнему числится в составе Новотерского СП.

История
В 1977 году Указом Президиума ВС РСФСР посёлок центральной усадьбы винсовхоза «Калиновский» переименован в село Новотерское.

На 1 января 1990 года в Новотерском сельсовете Наурского района Чечено-Ингушской АССР, кроме села Новотерское, находились также село Ульяновское и железнодорожная будка. В 1990-е годы в селе Новотерском, как и в других населённых пунктах Наурского района, имели место преступления против русскоязычного населения. По некоторым данным, в 2001 году в селе проживало всего 20 русских семей.

Население

По данным переписи 2002 года, в селе проживал 2651 человек, в том числе 1239 мужчин и 1412 женщин.

 Национальный состав
По данным Всероссийской переписи населения 2002 года, 97 % населения села составляли чеченцы.

Национальный состав населения села по данным Всероссийской переписи населения 2010 года:

Транспорт
В селе находится станция Терек Северо-Кавказской железной дороги. По южной окраине села проходит автотрасса .

Z is for Zomby Woof #AtoZChallenge
Z is for "Zomby Woof" by Frank Zappa and the Mother of Invention. This song was written by Zappa for the 1973 album Over-Nite Sensation. The vocals for "Zomby Woof" were provided by Ricky Lancelotti. Background vocals were provided by Tina Turner and The Ikettes.
Zappa's songs were often bawdy, even obscene, and this song is no different. Now while this song may not be about magic, I guess if turning into a Zomby Woof meant you were turning into some sort of zombie/werewolf-type creature it could be magical. But sadly, there is a strong sexual nature to this song which makes it less than magical. The Zomby Woof is a sexual predator. According to the Urban Dictionary, a Zomby Woof is someone who takes part in illegal sexual activities such as rape. But Z was a hard letter to find a magic song, so I will take the turning into a creature aspect as my magical connection.

Misquotes
Rumors On The Internets
What are Bushisms?
Josie Myers
The term "Bushism" was first coined in 1992 by the writer Jonathan Bines, and applied to President George Herbert Walker Bush's tendency to misspeak during speeches or interviews. The term has since been adopted for use with his son, President George W. Bush, who was even more known for his speaking blunders than his father. During his eight year tenure, there were dozens of occasions when he mispronounced words or uttered phrases with distorted meanings. These statements have become very well known, particularly around the Internet political community.
President Bush's public speaking gaffes began long before he was elected, with many appearing during campaign speeches. A few of the more popular campaign Bushisms were from 2000. Some of the most memorable ones include: "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully," "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family," "I understand small business growth. I was one," and "Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?"
Woman with hand on her hip
The Bushisms continued throughout his entire time as president of the United States. In 2002, he began to quote a famous proverb only to forget it saying, "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." Two years later, he was discussing health care when he said, "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." One of his later quotes came in 2008 when he said, "I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office."
One of the most recognizable Bushisms was his repeated mispronunciation of nuclear as "nucular." Strangely enough, Bush was not the first president to use this pronunciation, nor is it that uncommon. The confusion of the "ular" sound for the "lear" was also heard from Carter, Eisenhower and Clinton, and is in fact found in the Merriam Webster dictionary as an alternate pronunciation.
Bushisms bring up many arguments between Bush's critics and supporters. Some believe that these traits were a purposeful manipulation of the language in order to appear more "down home." Others use them as a tool to claim that President Bush was not a very intelligent man. The President's supporters acknowledge that he was not a good public speaker, and they tend to forgive the Bushisms as a fault that the President was open about.

Eventually, the Franks in Northern France have been assimilated by the overall Gallo-Roman inhabitants, and took over their dialects (which became French), whereas the Franks within the Low Countries retained their language, which might evolve into Dutch. The current Dutch-French language border has (aside from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais in France and Brussels and the encircling municipalities in Belgium) remained virtually equivalent ever since, and could possibly be seen as marking the furthest pale of gallicization among the many Franks. All Dutch dialect groups spoken in Belgium are spoken in adjoining areas of the Netherlands as properly.
Starting in the Nineteen Sixties many workers from Turkey and Morocco came to the Netherlands for short-term work. Many of these guest employees (gastarbeiders) stayed on in the Netherlands.
These mysterious, tulip lovers, tall people give an extraordinary colour to the European panorama. Dutch individuals are good at many issues, together dutch brides with cheese, art, windmills, football, and clogs. On a day-to-day bases, my interaction Dutch individuals is limited to retail staff.
Still, much more people in the Netherlands who were not born there may also be called «Dutch». According to some definitions, additionally people who have been born within the Netherlands, however whose dad and mom weren't, cannot be known as Dutch.
About 15.5 million individuals within the Netherlands actually have the Dutch nationality. About 1 million people dwelling in the Netherlands don't have the Dutch nationality. To make things extra confusing, individuals who live in the other components of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (including Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and the Caribbean Netherlands) also have Dutch nationality.
Places to go to within the Netherlands
Since World War II, Dutch emigrants have mainly departed the Netherlands for Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, the United States, Belgium, Australia, and South Africa, in that order. Today, massive Dutch communities also exist within the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Turkey, and New Zealand. According to a 1970 inquiry, West Frisians recognized themselves more with the Dutch than with East Frisians or North Frisians. A research in 1984 discovered that 39% of the inhabitants of Friesland considered themselves «primarily Frisian,» though without precluding also being Dutch. A further 36 per cent claimed they have been Dutch, but also Frisian, the remaining 25% saw themselves as only Dutch.
The historical pluriformity of the Dutch cultural panorama has given rise to a number of theories aimed toward each identifying and explaining cultural divergences between different areas. Wichers in 1965, sees variations in mentality between the southeastern, or 'greater', and northwestern, or 'lower' regions throughout the Netherlands, and seeks to explain these by referring to the different degrees to which these areas were feudalised during the Middle Ages.
Everything You Should Know About Philippines People
The complete Northern Dutch cultural area is positioned in the Netherlands, its ethnically Dutch inhabitants is estimated to be just under 10,000,000.[note 2] Northern Dutch tradition has been less influenced by French affect than the Southern Dutch culture space. ) or the Dutch are a Germanic ethnic group and nation native to the Netherlands. Dutch individuals and their descendants are present in migrant communities worldwide, notably in Aruba, Suriname, Guyana, Curaçao, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and the United States. The Low Countries had been located around the border of France and the Holy Roman Empire, forming part of their respective peripheries, and the various territories of which they consisted had turn out to be virtually autonomous by the 13th century. Under the Habsburgs, the Netherlands were organised right into a single administrative unit, and in the 16th and 17th centuries the Northern Netherlands gained independence from Spain as the Dutch Republic.

The majority died of disease or made their method back to Europe, however a few of them made the Indies their new residence. Interaction between the Dutch and native population primarily occurred in Sri Lanka and the modern Indonesian Islands. Most of the time Dutch troopers intermarried with local women and settled down within the colonies. Through the centuries there developed a comparatively large Dutch-talking inhabitants of combined Dutch and Indonesian descent, known as Indos or Dutch-Indonesians. The expulsion of Dutchmen following the Indonesian Revolt, implies that currently nearly all of this group lives in the Netherlands.
While the cities were of nice political importance, additionally they shaped catalysts for medieval Dutch tradition. Trade flourished, inhabitants numbers elevated dramatically, and (advanced) schooling was not restricted to the clergy; Dutch epic literature such as Elegast , the Roelantslied and Van den vos Reynaerde had been extensively enjoyed. The numerous metropolis guilds in addition to the need of water boards (in charge of dikes, canals, and so forth.) within the Dutch delta and coastal areas resulted in an exceptionally excessive degree of communal group. It can be round this time, that ethnonyms corresponding to Diets and Nederlands emerge. The medieval cities of the Low Countries, which experienced main progress in the course of the 11th and 12th century, had been instrumental in breaking down the already comparatively free native form of feudalism.
The Russian capital itself, Moscow, also had a variety of Dutch immigrants, principally working as craftsmen. Arguably the most famous of which was Anna Mons, the mistress of Peter the Great.
The position of Dutch in Belgium has improved considerably over the previous 50 years on the expense of French, which as soon as dominated strongly in political, financial and cultural life. The main reasons for this are the strengthened economic place of Flanders and the problematic scenario of heavy trade in Wallonia since the 1960s. Since the 16th century, there has been a Dutch presence in South East Asia, Taiwan and Japan. In many instances the Dutch were the primary Europeans the natives would encounter. Between 1602 and 1796, the VOC despatched almost a million Europeans to work within the Asia.
Standard Dutch is primarily based on the Hollandic dialect (spoken within the Western provinces of the Netherlands) and to a lesser extent on Brabantian, which is the dominant dialect in Flanders, in addition to within the south of the Netherlands. In the early sixteenth century, the Protestant Reformation began to form and shortly spread in the Westhoek and the County of Flanders, where secret open-air sermons were held, called hagenpreken («hedgerow orations») in Dutch. The ruler of the Dutch areas, Philip II of Spain, felt it was his obligation to struggle Protestantism and, after the wave of iconoclasm, sent troops to crush the insurrection and make the Low Countries a Catholic area as soon as extra.
Are the Dutch people White?
About 20% of the entire Dutch population just isn't of Dutch origin (these people are referred to as allochtoon in Dutch). This comes from the fact that the Netherlands were tolerant of different nationalities and other religions for the reason that starting of the Dutch Republic (in 1588). In the seventeenth century, it was not odd, as an example for Muslims to reside in Amsterdam.
Recent events (like the homicide of Theo van Gogh by a radical Muslim) have led to unfavorable views on allochtonen by some of the Dutch people. Despite its identify, Brabantian is the dominant contributor to the Flemish Dutch tussentaal.

Q: Should field re-setters make sure that the minerals in the crater are in a single layer (no blocks on blocks)?
A: Per the Field Reset Guide, the requirement is for the minerals to be randomly placed in the crater. Although it is possible for minerals to stack when randomly placed in the crater, they should not exceed 2 minerals high as this would not be a true randomization of elements.
Q: I would like to clarify a lander build procedure. Some of the CAD pictures in the 2018-2019 Field Assembly Guide (rev 1.3) are confusing. Specifically the diagrams in Steps 1-6 & 1-8 for the shorter Gold Mineral cargo area, the polycarbonate siding looks like it is to be placed on the outside of the metal corner brackets.
This is counter to the wording of Step 1-8, "The panels should sit on the inside of the brackets".
I have seen landers built both ways. Could we get a ruling on which way it is supposed to be.
A: The polycarbonate sides of the lander should always be assembled with the corner bracket on the outside. In step 1-6 the polycarbonate is placed on the gold, or short side panel. The step outlines "The Side Panels should sit between the flange and the Corner Bracket". Step 1-8 outlines that the polycarbonate should be places on the inside of the bracket, not the outside.
Q: The wording of the navigation target image placement in Figure B-6 of game manual 2 and page 15 of field setup guide are confusing and should be cleaned up.
The moon crater image is labeled as "Target 1 Front Wall (audience facing)". This would suggest that the image should face the audience.
A: Teams, Volunteers, and Tournament Directors should follow the official Field Setup Guide illustration and instructions for proper installation of the Navigation Targets. The "moon crater", or Front Wall Target should be placed on the field perimeter wall that faces the audience, while the "galaxy", or Back Wall target is placed on the back wall closes to the scoring tables.
"Randomly place approximately half of the Gold and half of the Silver game elements into each Crater. The Gold and Silver should be approximately equally distributed around the entire inside area of the Crater."
At our meets, I had a reseter that would take the elements that were in the lander and depot and disperse them between each match by taking a ball and pushing it in between cubes that were clumped together so that it looked different each match and was more random.
A: There's no formal rule on how to distribute the minerals, just that they be as evenly distributed as possible between each crater after each match. Part of the challenge is that robots must sort through the craters, be mindful of which they pick up, and place them in the appropriate cargo hold in the lander. Since the craters are also alliance neutral, it is okay if the minerals are not distributed as an exact equal split, as robots can pick up minerals in both craters.
Q: Should the targets be attached to (flush in contact with ) the plastic wall, and not simply hanging from the metal rail? Please shed some light on this for an remaining Rover Ruckus events. Thank you.
A: Navigation targets should be places 5.75 inches from the floor tiles to the center of the image, and the image should be flush with the Lexan/plastic panel.
Q: Last year in Houston, there were large rugs placed under the competition fields that affected the gameplay of robots. Just so that teams can prepare for the change, will there be similar rugs under the fields or will the fields be on the bare concrete of the convention center?
A: The same carpets used at last years Championships, both in Houston and Detroit, will be used under the competition fields again this year.
Q1: What is the appropriate vertical orientation of the Alliance Station relative to the Playing Field? The visuals in both Game Manual Part 2 and the Field Setup Guide show that the floor of the Alliance Station is level with the floor of the Playing Field. However, this is not specified in the text of either document.
Q2: How high can the Playing Field be elevated and still be considered a correctly set Playing Field?
Q3: Will the Playing Fields at Minute Maid Park in Houston and Ford Field in Detroit be subject to this rule?
A1: Alliance Stations should consist of tape placed on the floor outside of the field perimeter and follow the specs outlined in the Field Setup Guide. Alliance Stations should not be elevated as this could create a safety hazard for both teams and field volunteers.
A2: There are no rules that state how high a playing field can be elevated at an event. However Event Organizers should keep in mind that Field Reset volunteers must access the field consistency throughout the day to reset the field for the next match. Teams must also enter and exit the field to place and retrieve their robots. In most levels of competition, elevating the field for a full competition creates an obstacle that could cause unnecessary match schedule delays and safety risks.
A3: The playing fields at both Minute Maid Park in Houston and Ford Field in Detroit will be elevated no more than 24" for finals matches. The fields throughout the competition at both Championships will be placed on the floor and will not be elevated.

Q: Because there will be rugs under the actual fields in Houston, can the venue put rugs under the practice fields as well?
A: Carpets will not be placed under the practice fields at either the Houston or Detroit Championships. They will only be placed under the competition fields at each location. Note that the pile of the carpet is minimal, and should make little to no difference in drivability from the practice to the competition fields.
