The strength of bonds in One Piece Odyssey – PlayStation.Blog
In the story of One Piece Odyssey, Luffy and the Straw Hat pirates find themselves in a huge storm at sea and shipwreck on the mysterious island known as Waford. One Piece Odyssey is a brand-new turn-based RPG featuring new characters and monster designs produced by Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece.
At our recent preview event One Piece Odyssey producer Katsuaki Tsuzuki framed the main theme of the game as a "Story of bonds, spun by memories". It was also important to the developer team to create an "RPG that allows players to explore and adventure in the world of One Piece".
Today, we're excited to share ways that players will be able to strengthen bonds in the game and harness each characters' unique skills as they immerse themselves in the One Piece world Tsuzuki and the rest of the team have created.
(Be warned, pirates, minor story spoilers ahead!)
Battle system
To start, we'll cover the battle systems in the game and how the unbreakable bonds forged in battle are essential to beat your enemies.
Tsuzuki: "In action games, it is necessary to focus and understand how to control a single character in each battle, to get that sense of satisfaction. However, One Piece as an IP has plenty of fascinating characters already in the "Straw Hat Crew", so for our players to enjoy the unique charms of each and every one of them, we adopted a turn-based command battle as the battle system of our choice."
Generally, RPG turn-based games have players set up all characters and locked in before executing the turn. However, One Piece Odyssey takes a different approach.
Tsuzuki: "We adapted a rock-paper-scissors element as its basic tactics, while also randomly positioning the characters into multiple areas. This is so that players can switch between various registered characters—and challenge them to make full use of each character's unique abilities and skills to defeat the enemies at hand. This system provides a variety of situations they will face each time, which brings a fresh perspective on the combats they'll endure along the way."
In most combat encounters, the Straw Hats will scramble into different combat areas with the enemies, and up to four crew members will engage the enemy while the rest remain in reserve. Straw hats can be called in from reserve and may reposition freely as long as they have an action remaining. At times, the positioning of enemies may be challenging for your line up if more support-oriented crew members are rushed and surrounded by elite marines. Since you'll have the ability to switch between characters on your roster, you'll be empowered to consider combat positioning, effectiveness type, Bond Arts, and potential secondary objectives in any combat encounter.
Effectiveness type
The Straw Hat crew and enemy NPCs are categorized into effectiveness types: Power, Speed, and Technique. Where Power is more effective against Speed type enemies and less effective against Technique type enemies.
Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hats and is a Power type. As powerful as Luffy is, he has a harder time against Technique type foes. Nami, the navigator of the Straw Hats, is a Speed type and strong against Technique type foes. Call upon her lightning skills and help Luffy out when he's in a pinch!
With up to nine Straw Hats with four in direct combat, there is a lot to experience.
Bond Arts & Memory Links
Now, the crew is already strong as everyone possesses their own strengths. However, this is a story of bonds and so we encourage all players to unlock the full potential of the game with Bond Arts!
Bond Arts are among the strongest attacks that the Straw Hats can perform. Earlier on in the story, the Straw Hats will dive into the world known as Memoria, a world of memories woven together with the memories of the Straw Hat crew, to recover their lost power. In order to unlock Bond Arts, players must discover these lost side quests known as Memory Links, found within Memoria, and re-live the story of bonds that certain Straw Hats share. After completing these Memory Links, the Bond Art will be unlocked and free to use throughout the game as long as the Straw Hats have the required bond level.
Bond Arts require a certain amount of bond level to activate and the bond level can be charged by fighting together. To initiate a Bond Art attack, all Straw Hats involved in the Bond Art must be in the engaging party, have a high enough bond level, and the initiating Straw Hat must also have an action.
The sheer strength of these attacks makes it worthwhile to seek out these Memory Links and to play with various line ups of the Straw Hats to keep bond levels charged.
Tsuzuki: "Bond Arts is one of the example of the benefits in utilizing different characters and items, where you will have an option of a stronger attack to defeat your enemies. Therefore we encourage you to try Memory Links to strengthen your party."
Dramatic scene
This wouldn't be One Piece if there wasn't a little drama. We've worked it into the game as an additional way to level up your team.
Over the course of the game, the Dramatic Scene system will randomly provide mid-battle objectives and offer increased experience, currency, and loot if the objective is achieved. For example, sometimes an enemy must be defeated by a specific Straw Hat; even if the crew member is weak against the effectiveness type. This can sometimes make the battle more difficult, but the reward is worth it!
Other ways to enhance your team
Outside of battles, the game continues to encourage players to increase camaraderie.
Tsuzuki: "During your adventure, you'll find places where you can camp and have a 'party'. By having this 'party', you will receive an EXP bonus for the next 10 battles you encounter. "
All the extra additional loot the Straw Hats earn from overcoming the dramatic scene challenges are key components to cooking, crafting Trick Balls, and enhancing equipment. By utilizing the strengths of the bonds of the Straw Hats, they are able to build momentum of strength to overcome greater challenges, like boss fights, by converting these rewards into items that greatly impact the tide of battle.
Camping & crafting
As any great adventure would have it, the Straw Hats will spend time resting, carousing, and crafting when they camp. While camping, the player will have a chance to figure out how to best spend their resources through cooking, crafting Trick Balls, and utilizing Nico Robins Mystery Craft.
Sanji is the chef of the crew and can create scrumptious meals to eat in battle. Never forget to get some take out from Sanji's Kitchen before any tough battle as the meals are better than any random apple you may find. Check out Sanji's Bronze Bat Soup as it will heal all allies and also grant a 10% bonus to DEF and GUTS.
Usopp, the sniper of the Straw Hats, creates Trick Balls. These Trick Balls can provide large buffs for the party or large debuffs for the enemy. Bosses are strong in One Piece Odyssey. Like the original works, bosses will test the Straw Hats and player will need to work with Usopp to create Trick Balls that lower an enemy's defense or make them more susceptible to status ailments.
Nico Robin, the archaeologist of the Straw Hats, is the curator of the player's equipment. Each Straw Hat has a grid and players can freely fill the grid to enhance the crew by acquiring blocks of cubes with various abilities and stats which players can find throughout the game. Later in the game, as the story progresses, Nico Robin may become one of the most popular crew mates to spend time with as she can craft equipment together to enhance its effects and allow the player to freely express the Straw Hats through versatile customization.
All members of the crew are deeply valued and an important core to the game and the odyssey with the player. Build your own memories with the Straw Hats through depth and strategic elements of battle.
One Piece Odyssey is coming to PS5 and PS4 on January 13, 2023. Pre-order today and embark on a grand odyssey with Luffy and the Straw Hats.

On December 17th 2016, I – Anson had the privilege to organise a beach cleanup at Kelanang Beach, Kuala Langat along with the participation of the Kuala Langat Town Council, Sime Darby Property Berhad and the public.
Around 30 volunteers from various age groups came together on this Saturday morning to contribute back to the environment. After I briefed everyone about the agenda and safety reminders, we started our cleaning duties in two separate groups. The sun was surprisingly kind to us on that day, letting us work under cooler conditions while enjoying the sea side view.
We separated the recyclable items such as bottles, papers and tins from the rest of the garbage. After two hours of cleaning up, we decided to called it a day as we covered a significant area of the beach. In the end, we collected a total of 6 bags of garbage and 2 bags of recyclables and everyone was happy yet tired at that time.
At about 11.30am, we head off to Morib Beach, which was only a 10-minute drive away to have our lunch. Here I had the chance to talk with the staff and participants and had the opportunity to exchange our stories with each other. Although we are all from different backgrounds and religions, we echoed the same stand on environment protection and conservation.
It was overwhelming to see all of us being passionate about our beaches and volunteered to protect it although we hardly know each other before this activity. Also, every participant got the opportunity to mingle and learn with each other. I am blessed to meet many amazing people like Ms. Fiza, Ms. Nura, Raj and others through this activity. I hope more people will realize that we can and should make a difference, no matter big or small, towards the environment.

L.A. County's Latest Homeless Initiative: A Failure in Charity
Carly Hoilman on	 April 13, 2018
Los Angeles bureaucrats are toying with what has to be the dumbest project to fight homelessness in modern history: building "guest houses" for the homeless in people's private backyards.
Last August, L.A. County's Board of Supervisors approved a $550,000 pilot program to build several of these guest houses for homeowners who agree to participate in the social experiment, the L.A. Times reported. Then in February, Bloomberg Philanthropies awarded the city a $100,000 Mayor's Challenge grant "to study the feasibility" of these backyard units, which are expected to cost up to $350,000 apiece.
An idea like this offers real insight into the lack of charity at the heart of progressive politics, which offers shallow, top-down material solutions to complex human problems.
Thankfully, Catholic social teaching provides a much more humane and effective alternative: the principle of subsidiarity, which holds that what can be achieved by smaller bodies should not be usurped by larger, more complex institutions.
The Catechism offers further insight into the benefits of this socioeconomic tool:
The principle of subsidiarity is opposed to all forms of collectivism. It sets limits for state intervention. It aims at harmonizing the relationships between individuals and societies. It tends toward the establishment of true international order.
I lived in New York City under the progressive reign of mayors Michael Bloomberg and Bill de Blasio, who raised spending for homeless services to record highs with precious little to show for it. After the billions spent on combating homelessness, Penn Station, one of the city's most populated travel hubs, still feels like a third-world country.
And while cities like New York and L.A. could typically be considered the proverbial faces of government overreach, some remarkable exceptions do exist.
Last Christmas, I interviewed the Chief Development Officer of Manhattan's Bowery Mission, a Christian charity that takes a holistic approach to the problem of homelessness. The Bowery is a successful example of subsidiarity at work in our country.
Bowery CDO James Winans told me that expensive government programs are often unsuccessful because they only focus on material needs like food and shelter, while a problem as complex as homelessness requires a personal, human response that tends to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of these individuals.
Organizations like the Bowery have exponentially better long-term track records of preventing homelessness than big-city shelters, though they operate solely or predominantly on private donations.
L.A.'s homeless AirBnB program is a prime example of how a big-government-solves-everything approach wastes gobs of money without getting to the heart of societal problems. The progressive elites behind this project are the same group of people whose idea of solving economic problems is sterilizing and aborting society's "undesirables." At the end of the day, it's all about the numbers.
Homelessness is a condition that almost always entails more than a mere lack of housing. It could be the result of mental illness, drug abuse, depression, or even personal preference. The nicest backyard condo in the world won't fill a desperate heart with hope or provide an addict with loving accountability.
What if instead of viewing "the homeless" as some monolithic people group, communities approached the vulnerable as individual persons, each with their own story and unique needs?
Instead of trying to eradicate Homelessness completely — a goal that has not been successfully achieved over the entire course of human history — what if families, churches, businesses, and government leaders worked together to care for their homeless brethren in a way that was truly caring, personal, and dignifying?
Leftist government officials would rather throw money at an issue than do the hard and often complicated work of charity. And while their initiatives might pass for compassion on a budget proposal, the reality looks a lot more like disdain.
Our cities can do better than this, and Catholics can show them how it's done.
Can Christians Support Nationalist Movements in Europe and America?
Lay Catholics: Stop Waiting for Bishops to do Your Job
Rob Schroeder on April 13, 2018 2:43 pm
It's sad the extent the author goes to portray anything that government does as bad. To the point of literally making things up.
The author complains that merely providing interim housing for homeless people is not enough because homeless people often have a series of mental, financial and emotional needs. Well, the LA Times article that the author linked to says explicitly:
"Tenants would be screened and receive social services that could include case management, job training and counseling."
The author portrays these efforts as a project of bureaucrats. Well, the LA Times article the author linked to says explicitly:
"L.A. city voters agreed to tax themselves $1.2 billion for homeless housing."
The author claims that building housing explicitly for the homeless displays "lack of charity at the heart of progressive politics, which offers shallow, material solutions to complex human problems."
As someone who volunteers at a homeless shelter in Chicago, interim housing is actually a critical part of infrastructure in supporting the homeless. In major cities, rent is expensive. Rent is very expensive in Los Angeles. Interim housing, where formerly homeless people can either live for free or pay a set portion of their income as rent, allows homeless people to save money so they can actually afford to acquire their own housing and have a small nest egg saved up for when the inevitable bumps in the road come in the future. Sending people straight from shelter housing to their own rental units statistically increases the likelihood of homeless recidivism because a staggering portion of a formerly homeless person's new income is devoted to housing costs.
The author completely fails to address the financial externalities of homelessness. It's easy to toss out a dollar figure like $550,000 as a waste of money without providing any context. For example, how much do LA residents pay in tax dollars for the number of homeless people who cycle through the criminal justice system, since so many activities of being homeless – sleeping in a park or urinating outside, for example, are often criminalized? What is the financial cost to taxpayers of homeless people who cycle through emergency rooms?
Homeless students in K-12 schools have some of the worst educational outcomes of any disparate student group, largely because the natural transience in their life leads them to frequently switch schools. Frequently switching schools correlates with negative academic outcomes. What is the financial benefit of providing a homeless family with the ability to enroll in one school permanently?
Rather than an anti-government screed, if the author has evidence that interim housing models are financially inefficient, she should provide that evidence.
Susanna on April 13, 2018 3:56 pm
Alcohol Anonymous has been so successful for many years because it addresses not only the alcoholism but the many behavior and mental challenges that accompany it. Without confronting the core dysfunction, the homelessness will not be resolved. Placing homeless in 'guest houses' does not care for their other psych needs which seems to be the author's finding. In fact, some homeless individuals are violent, frequently abuse drugs and could create a dangerous situation for families. Some will not stay in their cottage since living on the street is what they know. The author may have come across a successful program and sometimes private solutions without government involvement frees up solutions without multiple organization rules and regulations. Anything is worth a try and just because it is not government does not mean that it's not likely to work. Below is the AA website link. Their success has been proven by using a multifaceted approach.

Hi Susanna:
The Los Angeles program DOES care for the full suite of needs of the homeless. The Los Angeles Times story the author linked to literally says:
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-homeless-tiny-house-20180411-story.html
I don't know how I can be any more explicit on this.
Bob on April 14, 2018 10:48 pm
Thanks Rob. A breath of fresh air. So much vitriolic self-righteousness in one article. You would think L.A County was a subversive group trying to undermine America rather than trying to help the homeless.

Trying to cover up that late night? Had an indulgent weekend? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you can slap on as much light-reflecting highlighter and foundation as you like (thanks for nothing, YSL Touche Eclat!), your face has no poker face when it comes to showcasing the state of your inners.
In need of a diet overhaul (my festive eating has all but crept into Autumn) and with the change of the seasons—welcome cold nights and blustery days—I needed a boost, a line in the sand if you will, so I decided it was time to get serious about my beauty regime. Mainly, my lack-lustre looking face.
Keen to experiment with more than a standard facial, but wanting less downtime than a chemical peel in my quest for that fresh-faced look, I put my face (and faith) in the very capable hands of expert skincare specialist, Zoe Devine at Skinstitut.
Having an initial consultation, Zoe took on board all my skin's wants and desires; get rid of my wrinkles, deplete my freckles, make my face look luminous, you know, the usual, she suggested I try their cult treatment, Skinstitut's Ageless Peel— a medical grade anabolic restructuring treatment that specifically targets signs of ageing, encouraging cell turnover, pigmentation, dry skin conditions, even acne symptoms. Obviously, I signed up!
First things first, you can't 'just get a peel'. Your face is totally not ready for a slap and dash treatment. Starting the whole process with an initial consultation (usually 14 days before your treatment), this involves some pretty personal questions about your overall health, diet, how much exercise you undertake, medical history, and other ever-so-slightly-awkward-but-fascinating questions about your daily comings and goings.
So, Zoe got to work mapping my face. Picture someone looking overly intently at you for 30 minutes+, pointing out areas of interest and potential issues, and you're there. Sounds cringe-worthy right? Wrong!
Instead of feeling uncomfortable (and also shamed by my daily glass (ahem) of vino) the process of mapping my face and marrying them to other potential health concerns/niggles was completely fascinating! Skinstitut's entire vibe is a holistic one; yes, they can make your skin look gorgeous from the outside, but it's as much about putting in really good things for your body, to achieve the best treatment outcome. My takeaways? Eat more foods with Omega-3, make sure I'm staying hydrated (especially as I sit in air-conditioning all day), and exercise often, are all things I can do instantly.
For 14 days I was under a strict face-care regimen to gradually introduce my skin to retinol-based products. Other than taking up some serious counter space in my bathroom, this was fairly straight forward, and dare I say, enjoyable. After the first week, I kid you not, I was starting to see some improvement in the texture of my skin, and I swear the lines on my forehead looked less 'there'.
Fast forward a fortnight and I was back in Zoe's clinic for my Ageless Peel. Lying back on the chair, I was feeling a little anxious—will this hurt? The answer is not at all. There was certainly a tingling sensation across my forehead and chin as Zoe massaged the treatment into my skin, but overall it was quite relaxing. P.S—having your face massaged for 20 minutes is heaven!
After a run down of the do's and don't's over the next few days—avoid the sun, no steaming treatments, no putting my head under a strong shower faucet, basically be extra kind to my face—I was sent on my merry way, a bag of post-treatment products under my arm.
With little to no downtime at all, the only side effect was a slight flaking of my skin on days 2 and 3, but this was minimal and almost un-noticeable (trust me, I asked everyone, including all of my colleagues #sorrynotsorry).
A fortnight from this moment I am promised luminous, beautiful skin, and the results are already speaking for themselves! My face used to say 'I'm tired, leave me the f**k alone', but after only five days, more resembles a person who gets her beauty sleep, treats her body like a temple, and portrays a happy stress-free demeanour.

Celebrate Welter Heating's Double Jubilee!
A jubilee is a specially celebrated occasion, technically a 50th anniversary, so it's with double pleasure that we share with your our 100th year in business. M.A. Welter, founder of Welter Heating and Air Conditioning, started the company in 1912 manufacturing what were known as "gravity" furnaces and installing them into new homes or performing Minneapolis heating repair.
Gravity furnaces were popular in the first half of the 20th century up until the early 1970s. The function of a gravity warm-air furnace is the same as a conventional modern forced-air furnace. The main difference is that air circulation relies on convection, e.g. warm air rises and the cool air falls, hence, the name, gravity. The other big difference is size, which is why gravity furnaces were also known as "octopus" furnaces, because of their sprawling design.
Consumers can see how furnaces have advanced from those that took up the space of entire basements to oil fired forced air with no fans for air conditioning to natural gas furnaces that are smaller than a household refrigerator. In fact, central air isn't even considered a luxury any longer, which it certainly was when we started the company!
As part of our Anniversary celebration, we are sharing a Q&A with our family to tell you a little more about the Welter family and 100 years in the Minneapolis air conditioning and furnace business.
After 100 years as a family-owned business, what can you say are the advantages of working with a family business?
Enjoying this type longevity has extended to our customers as well. For four generations, we've been installing units in the same home three or four times, for example. Many of our customers are like family; we keep up with them, their changing needs and offer technology solutions that their great-grandparents could only dream about.
What has been your favorite thing about working within the heating and air conditioning business?
It's fun to design and install a well-functioning system then see the smile on our customer's face. Keeping our customers happy is something we're very proud of.
What is the most interesting problem you have solved?
Learning the newest technology is always a challenge. We determine if we can back up the manufacturer's claims. In order to do that, we test most everything in our own homes first. We don't necessarily follow the latest fad, and we don't want to sell something that doesn't have lasting value and that we can't stand behind.
What is the most noticeable change you've seen in the Twin Cities over the past 100 years?
It's unbelievable to see how much the area has grown. We started servicing only south Minneapolis, and now we service the entire seven county metro area and beyond.
Was there a particularly bad winter that you remember? What about summer?
Both worst scenarios happened within the last 50 years and involved flooding. In 1965 and 1987, flood waters made it nearly impossible to get around town to many of the jobs we had scheduled. Of course, there may be other stories to top those events, but you'd have to ask M.A. Welter!
Stay tuned for upcoming anniversary promotions scheduled through 2012. Subscribe to our blog. "Like" us on Facebook. Keep up to date on the latest happenings and more!


When Safari loads a web page, does it cut off the address bar?
For me I have to scroll up to see the address bar.
yes its normal. it's trying to use as much screen space as it can. It only does it in landscape mode though.
For me it can happen in portrait mode.
Also, where's the time, signal strength, battery, in safari???
It cuts off only the address bar, time, signal strength and battery are all in the status bar, which should stay up there regardless of what app you're in, unless you're playing a game, or watching a video.
Take a screenshot for us, and upload it here. Power Button + Home button at the same time.
I took a screen shot few minutes ago, but how do I upload it from the iPhone?
Make sure you're on the desktop version of MacRumors, then attach it using the "manage attachments" button below the box where you type in the reply.
In that picture it looks like I used photoshop.
It's just a black bar above what you see in the pic.
Go to the iPhone home screen, and open up the multi-tasking tray, and close out of Safari, and reopen it, does it still do this?

Illinois Tollway approves $62.7 million in new construction contracts
Mark Buckshon
The Illinois Tollway Board of Directors has on August 28 sanctioned three new construction contracts totaling $62.7 million as part of "Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future" ― a 15-year, $12 billion capital program started in 2012.
Bartlett, IL-based Benchmark Construction Co. Inc. has received a $54.8 million contract for water main relocation on I-90 between Elmhurst Rd. and Barrington Rd. A $4.3 million contract has been awarded to Martam Construction Inc., Elgin, IL, for drainage work on Illinois Route 390 east of Illinois Route 83 for the Elgin O'Hare Western Access Project. A $3.5 million contract has gone to Huntley, IL-based GFS Construction LLC for signage improvements on the Tri-State Tollway (I-294/I-80) between Illinois Route 394/I-94 and the Hinsdale Oasis.
As a result of the Illinois Tollway authority's commitment to include disadvantaged, minority and women-owned business enterprises (D/M/WBE) in its capital program contracts, the three contracts include 11 such subcontractors ― awarding nearly $7.3 million or 12 percent of the approved $62.7 million contract to firms that fall into one of the aforementioned categories.
"Our goal has been to ensure that firms of all sizes have the opportunity to benefit from the Tollway's capital program," said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi Lafleur. "We are pleased to report that we currently have more than 580 firms working on Move Illinois, with nearly 245 of them working with the Tollway for the first time."
In 2014, more than $814 million of construction and engineering contracts have been approved by the Tollway Board and as of August 2014, the total value of approved contracts reached $2.5 billion since the project began in 2012. It is reported that from its inception to July 2014, the capital program has created or sustained an estimated 15,410 jobs in total.

Most of the processed foods we eat are studded with mysterious additives. They extend shelf life. They create exciting flavors, colors and textures. But they don't do great things for our health. Find out which ones to avoid, and why.
By Kristin Ohlson | November 2011
A few years ago, chef and food writer Steven Ettlinger bought his children a package of ice-cream bars. Out of habit, he read the list of ingredients — aloud. While doing so, his little girl interrupted him by asking, "What's polysorbate 60, Daddy?" Because Ettlinger had no idea, he decided to find out.
During the course of his research, Ettlinger learned that what his daughter was eating — polysorbate 60 — is an emulsifier commonly used in a variety of processed foods, including baked goods and frozen desserts. Greasy and light brown in color, it's made from a combination of hydrogenated corn syrup from the Midwest, Malaysian palm oil that's been converted into stearic acid (also an ingredient in shampoos), and ethylene oxide, made from a component of natural gas — a substance used as an explosive during the Vietnam War.
Compelled, Ettlinger went on to discover that there are thousands of colorings, flavorings, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, leavening agents, antioxidants or other food additives in the processed foods we buy. And he wound up writing about a lot of them in a book called Twinkie, Deconstructed: My Journey to Discover How the Ingredients Found in Processed Foods Are Grown, Mined (Yes, Mined), and Manipulated into What America Eats.
"We know where the grapes for Bordeaux wine are grown, and I've seen countless pictures of winemakers standing in the middle of their fields," Ettlinger says. "I wondered if you could do the same thing with something like polysorbate 60."
In his book, Ettlinger focuses on the 39 ingredients found in a package of Twinkies, one of America's most iconic foods. But his goal, he says, was not to pass judgment on the $23 billion industry that manufactures food additives. It was to feed his own curiosity.
He was fascinated by how these additives are made and what role they play in the manufacturing and marketing of processed foods. Why, he wanted to know, would something as simple as a Twinkie require 39 ingredients? Certainly you could make a Twinkie-like cake at home with just a handful of pantry staples.
Part of the reason for all the additives, he found out, has to do with quantity over quality. "The batter has to stand up to the demands of mass production," Ettlinger says. "One of the reasons they add cellulose gum to Twinkie batter is to keep the bubbles from being crushed at the bottom of a 4,000 gallon mixing vessel. When you make a cake at home, the little bubbles are under a few inches of batter. When they're under 4 feet of batter, it's a problem."
For as long as commercial food machinery has been humming, additives have been deemed necessary to keep processed food palatable, attractive and safe from spoilage. An invention born of necessity, they were designed to disguise the multitude of sins that make our modern food industry tick: the long stretch of time between harvest and consumption; the blandness of commodity ingredients; the rigors of harsh, high-volume factory production methods. All these things call for high-tech ingredients and interventions.
In 1911 Crisco was introduced as a low-cost, long-shelf-life alternative to butter and lard. It was the first commercial food containing trans fats. Other factory-made substances soon followed.
In the midcentury, the volume of food additives began escalating dramatically. In the United States, for example, the quantity of food dyes consumed per capita rose from 10 milligrams in 1955 to 60 milligrams in 2009.
It's not always clear, particularly in the short term, what effect such additives have. The use of some natural additives — including tocopherols (vitamin E) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as antioxidant preservatives, and the spice turmeric as a coloring — is widely considered totally benign.
And for people who stick with fresh, unprocessed food, avoiding the less wholesome class of food additives is fairly easy. Unfortunately, most Americans don't fall into that category.
One estimate suggests that processed food comprises 75 percent of our national diet and, as a result, the average American eats 8 to 10 pounds of additives each year.
Consume At Your Own Risk
So who gauges the safety of all these additives? That job falls to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which reviews the research regarding each new chemical before it's introduced to the marketplace. The trouble is that the FDA is woefully underfunded and understaffed — and some experts believe it is not entirely objective in its evaluations.
That's a lesson Ruth Winter, MS, learned the hard way. In 1979, after her daughter developed hives and their doctor suggested she might be allergic to the penicillin in commercial milk, Winter began doing a lot of research, which eventually became a book, A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives.
"Who knew there was penicillin in the milk?" Winter asks. "I thought there was an FDA employee looking over everyone's shoulder, making sure our food is safe. But that's simply not the case."
Another problem: Much of the research the FDA reviews comes from the companies that produce the chemicals in question; clearly those companies have a vested interest in designing studies that look favorable. And, historically, there's been a bit of a revolving door between the executive suites of big food and chemical companies and the FDA's leadership circle.
For these reasons and more, critics say, the FDA is reluctant to challenge these companies, especially when newer independent research raises questions about substances the agency gave the all-clear on long ago.
"It seems to me that the FDA bends over backwards not to find problems with food additives," says Michael Jacobson, PhD, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). "Once they approve a chemical, then they have a bureaucratic investment in defending its safety and their previous decision. In some cases, they even prevent other government agencies from conducting research."
Jacobson claims, for example, that the National Toxicology Program — which does lab tests for government agencies — was considering testing one or more questionable artificial sweeteners for toxicity, but the FDA discouraged them from proceeding.
CSPI routinely petitions the FDA about food additives, especially when new independent research comes to the fore. Earlier this year, for example, an FDA panel responded to CSPI's petition regarding artificial colorings, which two large studies funded by the British government showed to cause or exacerbate hyperactivity in children. CSPI wanted a ban on the colorings, or at least a warning label.
Some scientists had earlier agreed that children with already-existing ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) may have worsening symptoms from the colorings. While a hotly divided FDA panel ultimately declined to change anything, CSPI's action made millions of people think about the colors in their children's breakfast cereals and fruit snacks.
"These foods are unhealthy for so many reasons," says David Schab, MD, MPH, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University. Schab testified before the FDA panel on food colorings, since he had conducted a meta-analysis of all the literature on these additives and found a significant increase in hyperactivity for children with ADHD. "We're in the middle of this huge obesity epidemic that threatens both our health and the economy. It would be great if government agencies did something to make unhealthy foods less appealing," he says.
"Of all the additives, artificial sweeteners are my top concern," says David Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center and editor-in-chief of Childhood Obesity. "There is one harm that clearly is supported by science: They propagate a sweet tooth. They are intensely sweet, and the literature shows that they stimulate the same reward center as sugar. I think that tends to result in a preference for ever-sweeter foods, with attendant harms to health and weight."
What's the best way to avoid harmful food additives? Abstain from processed food completely. "If it's not something the body evolved to eat, I err on the side of caution," says functional nutritionist Julie Starkel, MS, MBA, RD.
For when you are in a pinch, though, and not sure of an ingredient, we have compiled the following list of the most critical additives to avoid, based on warnings from the CSPI and other experts.
Some have raised red flags during testing. Others have not been tested well enough to prove safety — especially given today's more sensitive and precise methods of testing.
"People used to consider a substance safe if it didn't kill a lab animal," says nutritional biochemist Jeffrey Bland, PhD. "Now, we find that certain substances that used to be considered safe have an impact on cellular or metabolic function. Most of today's food additives haven't been adequately defined as safe, given these new methods."
Acesulfame-K: Used in candies, baked goods, chewing gum, dry beverage mixes, canned fruit, gelatin desserts, diet soda, and as a tabletop sweetener under the brand names Sunette and Sweet One. About 200 times sweeter than sugar, acesulfame-K was tested for safety in the 1970s. The tests were not conducted with gold-standard protocols; however, two rat studies suggested that the chemical could cause cancer. In addition, large doses of a breakdown product from this chemical affected the thyroid in test animals.
Aspartame: Used in breakfast cereals, soft drinks, drink mixes, gelatin desserts, frozen desserts, yogurt, chewing gum, diet foods, and as a tabletop sweetener under the brand names Equal and NutraSweet. Used in more than 6,000 products worldwide, aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sugar. Studies have suggested that it might cause cancer — especially with lifelong consumption — or neurological problems. Aspartame also lowers the acidity of urine and may make the urinary tract more susceptible to infection.
Saccharin: Used in many diet products as well as a tabletop sweetener under the brand name Sweet'N Low. About 350 times sweeter than sugar, saccharin has been shown in animal studies to cause bladder cancer; rodent studies indicate that saccharin can cause cancer of the uterus, ovaries, skin, blood vessels and more. A major study conducted by the National Cancer Institute found that the artificial sweeteners saccharin and cyclamate are associated with higher incidence of bladder cancer. In 1977 the FDA wanted to ban saccharin; however, industry pressure has kept it in circulation.
Dyes and Colorings
Caramel coloring: Found in colas, baked goods, precooked meats, gravy mix, soy and Worcestershire sauces, chocolate-flavored products, liquors, syrups, wine, and beer. The most widely used (by weight) dye, caramel coloring is often made by heating sugars with ammonium compounds, acids or alkalis, and it contains contaminants that have been shown by the U.S. National Toxicology Program to cause cancer in male and female mice. In 2011 the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a division of the World Health Organization, concluded that caramel coloring, when produced with ammonia, contains contaminants that are "possibly carcinogenic to humans." Avoid beverages with caramel coloring, since the amounts consumed in one drink are so large.
Yellow 5: Used in gelatin desserts, candy, pet food and baked goods. This is the second most widely used coloring. It causes allergy-like hypersensitivity reactions, primarily in aspirin-sensitive persons, and triggers hyperactivity in some children. It may also be contaminated with cancer-causing substances.
Yellow 6: Used in beverages, candy and baked goods. This is the third most widely used dye. Industry-sponsored animal tests indicated that this dye causes tumors of the adrenal gland and kidney. Like Yellow 5, it may also be contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals. Yellow 6 may also cause sometimes-severe hypersensitivity reactions.
Blue 2: Found in pet food, beverages and candy. Some animal studies found evidence that Blue 2 causes brain cancer in male rats. Blue 2 and other artificial colorings are made from petroleum, much of it refined near China's Yellow River Delta, one of the world's most toxic polluted areas
Preservatives and Additives
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and hydrogenated vegetable oil (commonly called trans fats): Used to make packaged foods more appealing and last longer. Trans fats — created by converting liquid oils to solids by adding hydrogen — are found in crackers, baked goods, fried restaurant foods, stick margarine, icing and microwave popcorn. Trans fats can raise blood cholesterol to dangerous levels; Harvard School of Public Health researchers estimate that trans fat has caused about 50,000 premature heart-attack deaths annually, making partially hydrogenated oil one of the most harmful ingredients in the food supply. When the public heard about the danger and the FDA required that trans fats be listed on labels beginning in 2006, consumption dropped and many food manufacturers have moved to safer ingredients. Still, read labels carefully, since even small amounts of trans fats are harmful.
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA): A synthetic antioxidant found in butter, cereals, baked goods, sweets, beer, vegetable oils, potato chips, snack foods, nuts and nut products, glazed fruits, chewing gum, animal feeds, and sausage, poultry and meat products. BHA slows the deterioration of flavors and odors in foods — especially in those containing vegetable and animal fat — and increases shelf life. In studies, three different species of lab animals developed cancer from exposure to BHA, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services considers BHA "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen."
Propyl gallate: A preservative used in vegetable oil, mayonnaise, meat products, chicken soup base and chewing gum. Propyl gallate slows the spoilage of fats and oils but can cause stomach or skin problems for asthmatics and aspirin-sensitive people. Studies on rats and mice suggest that this preservative might cause cancer.
Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate: Preservatives, colorings and flavorings used in bacon, ham, hot dogs, cold cuts, smoked fish and corned beef. These chemicals give certain foods their characteristic flavor and color; they also prevent botulism, although critics argue that safer ingredients do the same thing. Several studies have linked consumption of cured meat and nitrite by children, pregnant women and adults with various types of cancer.
Monosodium glutamate (MSG): A flavor enhancer used in meats, condiments, soups and baked goods. Tests in the 1960s showed that MSG caused brain damage in lab animals; after that, baby-food manufacturers removed it from their products. Perhaps the biggest danger MSG poses
is to people with asthma, who may suffer a temporary increase in symptoms after consumption. MSG is what's called a "free glutamate" — one of the amino acids. There are other forms of free glutamates present as additives in processed food, including hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, soy extracts, protein isolates and "natural flavorings."
Mycoprotein: A synthetic meat marketed under the brand name Quorn, it can be purchased in the form of sausages, burgers and other meat-like products, or folded into vegan and vegetarian meals, such as casseroles and curries. Fabricated from fungus grown in vats and then dried and woven into "meat," mycoprotein, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, can provoke allergic reactions as powerful as those caused by more common food allergens such as peanuts, soy and dairy. To date, the CSPI has received 1,500 adverse-reaction reports to mycoprotein, including accounts of severe vomiting.

It is so encouraging to see more sources giving the public accurate information on what they consume on a regular basis with no thought to the consequences down the road for themselves and their children. I have been researching nutritional health for 30+ years after watching my mom develop Alzheimer's disease and diabetes II and my father with Parkinson's disease and Melanoma. My husband's mom had a heart condition and breast cancer. His dad had prostate cancer, multiple myloma, macular degeneration and serious arthritis. Needless to say the deck was stacked against us and especially our five children! So this prompted my passion to learn the truth about what we put in our mouths. So thank you for speaking out. what is sad is that most people don't want to know the truth until they are fighting a serious health condition or disease.

Thanks for your blog post. I would be curious to know if the rise in diagnosis of ADD and ADHD is from our increase in additives and food colourings. Eating natural food products without additives or preservatives is definitely the way to go. It takes some time for the taste buds to adjust, but once they do, whole foods become delicious and highly desirable.

Thank you for the niformation, I am trying to find out the track record for artificial food additives in the United States, in other words, when was the big jump in these preservative, flavorings, colorings, etc? I am sure that it is steadily increasing; I was curious to see a graph of such activity and compare it to the graph of the overall health of the population.

};

Shouldn't you use strlen($3) in the expression, where you calculate the length of the combined string? strlen($2) as you use will only return the length of the colon string which should be 1. If you then sprintf to the buffer which is too short, you access the buffer behind it's length.

A: In request.y, you include the directive
#define YYSTYPE char*

So in the parser code generated by Bison, yylval is of type char*. But that line is not inserted into request.l. So in the scanner code generated by Flex, yylval has its default type, int.
You could fix this by adding the definition of YYSTYPE to your request.l file but then you have the same setting repeated in two places, which is a recipe for disaster. Instead, use Bison`s declaration syntax:
%define api.value.type { char* }

(Note: that's a Bison declaration, not a C preprocessor define, so it goes with your other Bison % directives.)
The advantage of this solution is that Bison also adds the declaration to the header file it produces. Since that file is #included in request.l, no modifications need to be made to your scanner.
C, unfortunately, allows a pointer to be converted to an integer type even if the integer type is too narrow to hold the entire address, which is the case with a typical 64-bit platform with 8-byte pointers and 4-byte int. So in your scanner, setting the value of what the compiler thinks is a four-byte int to an eight-byte pointer means that the value will be truncated. So when the parser attempts to use it as an address, you'll get a segfault. If you're lucky.
Most C compilers will warn you about this truncation -- but only if you tell the compiler that you want to see warnings (-Wall for clang and gcc). Compiling with -Wall is always important, even when compiling the output of a code generator.
You also need to fix the typo noted by @JakobStark.

The orchid family (Orchidaceae L.) is one of the richest plant families in the world, including at least 24,000 species and subspecies. In Greece the number exceeds 200 taxa, while the endemics are 50 or more. These numbers often change, as new species are described or others considered until recently as endemics in Greece, are recorded in neighbouring countries. This research carried out at various rangeland types of Epirus region. A total of 58 species and subspecies were identified. The majority of taxa belong to the genera Ophrys and Orchis. The results revealed that the highest number of taxa (37) exists in forest openings and silvopastoral systems especially of oak trees, followed by 25 taxa in grasslands and 22 taxa in open shrublands (evergreen broadleaved species). The lower orchid richness, 17 taxa, was found in the phryganic ecosystems. As a conclusion, rangeland ecosystems of Epirus are significantly rich in orchids and their conservation, especially in oak silvopastoral systems, seems to be of particular importance for the maintenance of orchid diversity.


Working in an office may seem like the most normal job in the world, but when you actually work in one, there are plenty of odd things that go on that make you question your life, your job and pretty much everything. If you've worked in an office, you'll probably find around 90% of this VERY relatable, and if you've not… welcome to the wonderful world of office life.
In every office there is someone who (at least pretends) to hate EVERYTHING, from the sun and the sand to Christmas and people.
At least 50%, but probably more like 99% of the office is fuelled primarily by cups of tea every 15-20 minutes.
Fear spreads around the office like wildfire as soon as someone coughs or sneezes, and if that person is you, be prepared to be the victim of everyone's hatred until the entire office is feeling 100% again.
You can always rely on at least four conversations every single working day: what did you do last night/this weekend? What did you have for lunch? Got any plans for the evening? What kind of tea do you want?
There's no 'nice temperature', you're either freezing cold or sweating buckets. In most cases, there's a war going on between the hot people and the cold people.
Everyone's face fills with fear when the phone near them rings and there's no one else to answer the call.
A quick drink after work on a Friday has a 98% chance of turning into a wild night where you all message each other the next day wondering where it all went wrong and checking that no one has any photos of your drunk eyes.
Everyone has a phone voice and will be ripped after almost every phone call.
You learn at least one pointless fact a day, if not 100+ and will most likely text, tweet or tell someone else that completely useless fact.
9/10 innocent questions turn into in-depth conversations about a deeply political, controversial or downright weird topic.
Everyone has a work best friend, two, or a crew, but most likely never actually see each other outside of working hours.
97% of the office will book Christmas off in January to ensure they don't have to be one of the only people having to come into the office to cover.
When you get a package, everyone is suddenly incredibly interested in your latest purchase or purchases and wants a detailed description of what's inside.
Going on a diet is basically impossible with the number of snacks and treats that end up floating around the office.
What to have to lunch is a constant stress. Do you spend £100 a week on eating lunch out or eat bread and butter for lunch EVERY SINGLE DAY? Life is hard.
There's a story about pretty much every person in the office that has been exaggerated 100x and now is told on a frequent basis to shock the newbies.
When someone asks you something twice, instead of asking them to repeat it a third time and it all getting a little awkward, you'll hazard a wild guess and pray that you've plucked the right idea out of nowhere.
You make hundreds of plans to go for lunch/dinner/drinks/anywhere with your colleagues in full knowledge that the likelihood of it actually happening is incredibly low.
Is there any other relatable office experiences you can think of? We'd love to hear from you!


My first role was at Honda as a New Model Supplier Development Engineer. A year later I moved into a Product Engineer role where I was primarily testing cars. I was also a member of the company race team in my spare time. After three years, I moved to McLaren Automotive in Surrey to design and manage the production of supercars as a Project Engineer. It's great to see components I have designed out in the market. I am also a Track Engineer for a race team outside of work and have travelled to Europe and Asia, racing at some fantastic circuits, and I have also taken part in the 24Hr Endurance championship.
I have been lucky enough to be part of the P1 GTR programme, where McLaren owners take on some of the most iconic Grand Prix Circuits in the world with a dedicated team of mechanics and engineers. Hot weather testing the Civic Honda across Spain for two weeks was also a highlight.
I wish that I had taken the option to complete a year in industry. Lots of my friends took the option and it gave them a fresh outlook and, at the same time, they managed to make some savings before completing their course. Placements are a great chance to secure a job to go back to once you complete your degree.
Get experience in your chosen field as soon as you can – even voluntary work during the summer break. You need to make yourself stand out and show that you actually have a real passion for what you want!
Studying at Plymouth allowed me to build my confidence in my own ability. Lecturers were understanding and personable and encouraged me to become the best I could be. It actually wasn't my first choice, but after achieving the results I needed on my foundation course to go to my first choice, I decided to stay at Plymouth which was definitely the best decision I could have made.
I went to Alabama with three other students to work with Auburn University students on a design project during my last year. It was a fantastic opportunity and I still stay in contact with the team I met over there.

NOTE: The Sun-Sentinel is running a fantastic editorial on the demise of Florida's harmful, unconstitutional adoption ban. In the coming months, the LGBT community and our allies will be called on to defend this great victory from extremists attacks, likely in the form of a 2012 ballot measure.
Sun-Sentinel Editorial:
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/opinion/editorials/fl-editorial-adopti…
After 33 years, Florida finally gets it right on gay adoption
THE ISSUE: Finally, gay adoption fight ends.
It would have been a fitting funeral for Florida's archaic, bigoted gay adoption law if it had gone all the way to the state Supreme Court before finally being shot down.
That didn't happen, but the next best thing did — the Florida Department of Children & Families is at last giving up the ludicrous, wasteful and self-defeating fight.
Floridians should demand to know how much time and money was wasted by the state of Florida in an attempt to retain the backward distinction of having the most stringent gay adoption ban in the country. For 33 years — during which countless kids were denied a good, loving home because of bigotry and misplaced moral fervor — Florida law said gays and lesbians could not be adoptive parents.
But last month, the 3rd District Court of Appeal thankfully ruled the law unconstitutional, following the lead of other courts statewide and around the country. The DCF, sensing it had little chance of having the ban upheld if it kept up the fight, decided to drop it. And if Attorney General Bill McCollum or his successor has any thoughts of continuing to press for a ban on gay adoption, they need to abandon that idea.
The three-judge appellate court, in a 28-page decision, used experts who came to the conclusion that "gay people and heterosexuals make equally good parents." Yes, it only took Florida 33 years to go on the record saying that good parenting has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Too bad that, until even the Aug. 24 primary, there were still candidates for elected statewide office who refused to accept the truth.
Good parenting involves nurturing and love and teaching right from wrong — and so many other things. The state had previously said that gays could provide all of that as foster parents, but when it came to adoption, only heterosexuals were fit to be proper parents — heterosexuals who have a national divorce rate of over 40 percent, by the way.
So now, Florida joins the rest of the nation. Just consider it a victory for common sense and children in need.
Too bad it took over three decades.
BOTTOM LINE: Thirty-three years later, right decision is made.

Director of Research: Smith, Andrew M

Subject(s): Quantum Dots, Single Molecule Imaging, Single Particle Tracking, Quantitative Bioimaging
Abstract: The application of semiconductor nanocrystals known as quantum dots (QDs) to biology in the past few decades has advanced the field of single-molecule biology by allowing for long time-scale tracking of individual biomolecules. However, QD single-molecule imaging studies have almost been exclusively limited to the extracellular space, due to limitations in intracellular delivery techniques and a limited understanding of how nanoparticles behave in the intracellular space. In the first half of this thesis, a new analysis methodology is developed to quantitatively assess the intracellular delivery of QDs. We present a method for using single-molecule imaging and subsequent single-particle tracking (SPT) of QDs delivered to the cytosol of living cells to assess delivery efficiency and uptake mechanisms. In this method, single quantum dot mobility information is used in conjunction with single-molecule brightness measurements to develop novel single-cell metrics of delivery efficiency. These metrics are used to investigate the impact of different nanoparticle surface properties on intracellular delivery and fate. We investigate the delivery of a series of QDs designed with diverse surface properties. This comparison revealed new insights into particle uptake and endosomal escape, as well as the discovery that zwitterionic surfaces are uniquely suited for intracellular mobility. Additionally, this new analysis methodology was validated by established experimental approaches and analysis of simulated single-particle trajectories. The second half of this thesis applies the aforementioned tools towards two applications. The first application is to quantitatively evaluate QD labeling of intracellular proteins in live cells. This was achieved by delivering QDs conjugated to biorthogonal functional groups to label a target protein and developing a new colocalization-based metric to quantify the degree of protein target labeling. We present evidence of protein target labeling by using this single-trajectory level colocalization metric in combination with nanoparticle mobility measurements. The second application is toward accurate measurement of hydrodynamic size of colloids with dimensions smaller than 100 nanometers (nm). We develop a new method using widefield fluorescence microscopy and SPT to measure nanoparticle size and demonstrate accurate single-molecule size measurements of a homogeneous nanoparticle population with hydrodynamic diameter of approximately 20 nm.

Former SpaceX engineer says she was sexually harassed and 'misogyny is rampant' at Elon Musk's rocket company
A former SpaceX engineer published an essay claiming the company is "rife with sexism."
Former SpaceX engineer Ashley Kosak said she experienced sexual harassment from colleagues.
SpaceX and Musk did not respond to a request for comment.
A former SpaceX engineer published an essay on Tuesday accusing Elon Musk's rocket company of fostering an environment "rife with sexism."
Ashley Kosak, a former Mission Integration Engineer at the space company, said she faced sexual harassment while employed by SpaceX and that supervisors and human resources officials failed to adequately address the alleged incidents.
On Tuesday, The Verge reported that four more former employees said they had experienced or witnessed sexual harassment while at SpaceX. In three of the alleged cases, the former workers told the publication that they did not feel HR's response was adequate.
A SpaceX spokesperson, as well as the company's CEO, Musk, did not respond to a request for comment from Insider.
In the essay, Kosak, who said she started working at SpaceX in 2017 as an intern and became an engineer in 2019, alleged that a fellow intern grabbed her backside while she was in the kitchen of the intern housing unit where they were both staying. She said she told a superior and another co-worker.
Kosak also said that in 2018 "a male colleague ran his hand over my shirt, from my lower waist to my chest" at a team-bonding event while she was an intern. She said she told her supervisors and reported the alleged behavior to HR in a meeting "but no one followed up," leaving her to feel "powerless."
"Some of the men who work at SpaceX hug women without consent, stare at women while they work, and interpret every company-related social event as an opportunity to date (or hit on) women in the office," Kosak wrote.
She said that coworkers messaged her on Instagram to ask her out and that she once received a 4 a.m. call from a coworker. She said a different coworker came over to her house and "insisted on touching me even when I repeatedly requested we stay professional."
Kosak said in the essay that she reported "each incident of sexual harassment I experienced to HR" but "nothing was done." She said that she was told a company training would be held, but that "matters of this nature were too private to openly discuss with the perpetrators."
Kosak said in the essay that she attributes the work environment at SpaceX to Musk's leadership.
"Elon Musk's behavior bears a remarkable similarity to the behavior of a sadistic and abusive man who had previously been part of my life," Kosak wrote, saying Musk makes promises, but continually "shifts the goalpost" and pushes people to "the brink of burnout."
"Elon uses engineers as a resource to be mined rather than a team to be led," Kosak said in the essay.
The engineer said that after repeatedly making reports to HR, she submitted her complaints to an anonymous Ethics and Compliance tipline, which she said she later realized was a Microsoft form that did not preserve her anonymity. Kosak said she then met with COO Gwynne Shotwell and Head of HR Brian Bjelde, who she said told her they had not been made aware of her complaints and asked for her to submit a list of proposed solutions.
Shotwell and Bjelde did not respond to a request for comment from Insider, but The Verge obtained an email that was sent out by Shotwell over the weekend, reiterating the company's stance against harassment. The COO reportedly said the company plans to perform a third-party audit of its HR practices.
"We also know we can always do better," the email reportedly said.
Kosak said her psychiatrist eventually recommended she take a step back from work due to "frequent panic attacks" and "heart palpitations."
"As I took a week's medical leave to recover, I received a frantic cadence of calls from HR," she wrote.
Kosak resigned in November and has since begun working at Apple, according to her LinkedIn page.
Kosak is not the first person to express concern regarding the work environment at Musk's companies. Last year, a former SpaceX intern filed a discrimination lawsuit against the company, alleging her decision to report alleged sexual harassment to HR cost her the opportunity for a full-time job. The lawsuit has since been privately resolved and dismissed, The Verge reports.
Over the past four weeks, eight Tesla factory workers have sued Musk's electric car company, alleging Tesla ignored sexual harassment.
The former SpaceX engineer's essay also comes only a few months after engineers at Jeff Bezos' space venture, Blue Origin, expressed similar concerns, alleging the company had a "toxic" and "sexist" work culture.
"The last I heard, new SpaceX interns would receive training on how to better report their harassment," Kosak wrote in the last lines of her essay. "The harassers, on the other hand, have still not been held to account."

WATCH: Will Smith slaps Chris Rock following Jada Pinkett Smith joke at Oscars
Hugh Carr
"Keep my wife's name out of your f***ing mouth."
Viewers and attendees were left shocked when Academy Award winner Will Smith slapped host Chris Rock live on air during the Oscars on Sunday night (27 March).
The slap heard around the world came following a joke from Chris Rock about Jada Pinkett Smith's appearance.
New sci-fi horror set to be this year's A Quiet Place
Smith has a shaved head following a diagnosis of alopecia, which she made public in 2018.
As he was presenting the award for Best Documentary, Rock began to tell jokes about famous couples attending the event.
"You know who's got the hardest job tonight? Javier Bardem and his wife (Penélope Cruz) are both nominated," Rock began.
"Now if she loses, he can't win! He is praying that Will Smith wins, like please, Lord!
First episode of The Last of Us now available to watch on YouTube for free
"Jada, I love you. GI Jane 2, can't wait to see it," he jibed.
The original GI Jane starred Demi Moore playing the role of a US Navy SEAL, where she sported a shaved head.
Will Smith was seen laughing following the joke, while Jada rolled her eyes.
Moments after the joke, Will rose from his seat and made his way towards Rock, slapping him before returning to his seat.
"Will Smith just smacked the s**t out of me," Rock replied.
"Keep my wife's name out of your f***ing mouth," Smith shouted at the stage.
Following some tense moments in the Dolby Theatre, the show was back underway.

Smith later apologised for the attack during his speech following his win for Best Actor.
"To the Academy, I want to apologise to all my fellow nominees," Smith said, with tears in his eyes.
"Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams.
"Love will make you do crazy things.
"Thank you for this moment, and thank you on behalf of Richard and Oracene and the Williams family.
"I hope the Academy invites me back," he concluded.
Following the event, the Academy released a statement stating that they do "not condone violence of any form".

Whelan Watch: Week 8
Xavier walk-on Tim Whelan has announced that he is not going to get his damaged tooth repaired until the Muskies are ranked. With the polls coming out on a weekly basis, we'll use this space to track Whelan's progress towards once again being dentally whole.
By Joel D Jan 7, 2013, 8:52pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Whelan Watch: Week 8
Still no love for the Muskies.
One of the great things about NCAA football is that, if you're out of the polls by the midway point of the season, you have absolutely no hope of having even a chance to play for the national championship. I don't know why that's great, but the people I know who love college football assure me it is. Anywho, there are lots of ways to get to the national championship in college basketball, even if you have a stumble or six early on.
As you can see - and despite being just 20 points from being a one-loss team - Xavier is still not getting any love in the polls. The two weeks we took off from this exercise for the festive period brought mostly just pain for Xavier fans, who have had to endure an ugly slide and a loss to the loathsome Bearcats of UC.
This week, Xavier will be taking on Temple and George Washington, with both games being contested at the Cintas Center. Realistically, there is no outcome from this week that will vault Xavier back into the top 25. A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step, however. X needs to start piling up the wins.
Whelan's status: Carving himself a set of false teeth out of whale bone and manliness.

Q: Can't connect to the net with RTL8111/8168B from RealTek I've successfully installed Ubuntu 12.04 and am unable to connect to a wired connection (cat5e) using my Realtek ethernet controller. It is version RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit controller (rev 06).
I've tried changing the driver to use r8168 but that has been unsuccessful as described here and here. The kernel drivers and module in use is r8168.
I have tried everything I know how to do, but still no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

A: Did you read evry errors appearing while installing r8168? Make sure so it is located in exact directory before blacklisting r8169. But, r8169 must work, but with horrible perfofrmance. For me it works great, until I change my video driver from Nouveau to NVIDIA 331.89. When I change them, r8169 almost does not work. I have tried to install r8168, but from my experience, that time my OS got broken. Just driver 8169 got deleted, 8168 did not install, and I had to pay 30eur to fix it(could not re-install OS- it blocked me).
Remember: To avoid problems like that, watch for errors and ask help to the ones, who places tutorials.

This tour with interactive dialogue of the Pearl S. Buck House, developed in collaboration with the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, shares the story of Pearl S. Buck's forward-thinking human rights advocacy for issues that remain relevant today. Pearl S. Buck, winner of the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes, used her fame to shed light on the rights of marginalized communities including people of color, people with disabilities, women, biracial children, and immigrants. Beyond using her writing to bring attention to these social justice issues, she took action to help those affected.
This tour engages visitors in conversations about subjects important to Ms. Buck. It inspires them to reflect on their own values and to take action to make the world a "good and peaceful place," as Pearl S. Buck said and did.
If you are looking for an enlightening and uplifting experience that will inspire you to embrace Pearl S. Buck's principles and practice, this tour is for you.
Pearl S. Buck was a Pulitzer and Nobel Award-winning author, a humanitarian, and an activist. This traditional biographic tour of her home, the Pearl S. Buck House, a National Historic Landmark, allows visitors to learn about the life and legacy of this remarkable woman.
A rich, mostly intact collection makes guests feel as if they are visiting the house in the time Ms. Buck and her family lived there. Objects from the ordinary (a closet full of board games played by the family) to the extraordinary (the typewriter Ms. Buck used to write The Good Earth) add to the fascinating experience. Other interesting items include rare artwork from around the world, period furnishings, personal clothing, and a library stocked with hundreds of books (including those by her favorite author, Charles Dickens).
If you love history, architecture, literature, folk art, fine art, or just stepping back in time, this tour is for you.
