It's not just professional athletes that travel the world to race - amateur athletes also travel for marathons, triathlons, ultras and training camps. Jet lag can seriously impact athletic performance, so learning how to avoid it is key to reaching your potential.
Heck, even if you're "just" going on holiday, you still don't want to spend the first couple of days in a dopey haze. This advice will see you arrive at your destination firing on all cylinders, ready to rumble – whether that's running a marathon or hitting the beach energized with the family.
Jet lag is the result of the body's circadian rhythm falling out of sync as it tries to adapt to a new time zone. Knocking your natural sleep patterns off balance have serious implications and can be the difference between a PB and a pitiful plod.
So, how do you avoid jet lag?
Plan your logistics. To decrease stress and cortisol – that performance-wrecking hormone - ensure you leave plenty of time to be where you need. For triathletes dragging a bike box around the world, add a little extra time for every transfer!
Struggling to sleep? See our 9 lessons for improved sleep.
Eat well. What happens at 30,000ft stays at 30,000ft…right? Wrong! Just because you're high above the Atlantic, it doesn't mean those high-calorie sugary snacks won't land. Save it for the journey home!
Plane food isn't all that nutritious!
Do some exercise. As soon as you can, perform some light exercise to stretch the heart and lungs. It'll also help shift your sleep patterns. Save more intense efforts for 36-48 hours post-travel.
Switch your mealtimes. As soon as you land, adopt your destination's mealtimes.
Cut caffeine. Reduce consumption to find your new natural rhythm quicker.
Travelling for a training camp or race can be confusing for our bodies, and jet lag is one consequence that can disrupt our flow, but we hope these tips will help you avoid it next time.
It's important to ensure that you nail your nutrition pre-travel so you're ready to hit the ground running.
Our Ultimate Daily Greens are a fantastic travel companion (just check that your destination will let you bring these ingredients into the country!). The pack is small, doesn't weigh much and the ingredients are so potent you only need one spoonful per day to benefit.

Q: How do I make pandas treat each row as a column based on a certain date variable? I'm trying to rotate my pandas dataframe so that my data that looks like...
     date   | data_1 | data_2 | data_3 | data_4
-----------------------------------------------
'2017-04-01'|     100|     200|     300|    400
'2017-05-01'|     500|     222|     333|    444

to look like...
       | '2017-04-01' | '2017-05-01'
------------------------------------
data_1 |           100|          500
data_2 |           200|          222
data_3 |           300|          333
data_4 |           400|          444

I've been looking at pivoting the data frame, but I can't figure out what the "index" would be.  When I tried to add an index value to each row I tried this pivot:
pd.pivot(index='index',
        columns='date',
        values=['data_1', 'data_2', 'data_3', 'data_4'])

but it gave me an error saying Length of index, columns and values must be the same.
I'm clearly out of my depth here.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

A: Using set_index + transpose:
res = df.set_index('date').T

print(res)

date    '2017-04-01'  '2017-05-01'
data_1           100           500
data_2           200           222
data_3           300           333
data_4           400           444

So you do not need to use pivot_table, which is almost exclusively reserved for when you need to perform aggregations based on a pivot. Note property T is an accessor to the method transpose().

Author Topic: "Church" of Scientology Reportedly Forced Women to Have Abortions (Read 837 times)
The controversial Church of Scientology is coming under criticism from multiple women who all say they were forced to have abortions. The Church has been a source of debate since its founding by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard.
Adding to the debate, the Church of Scientology is now facing accusations from scores of women who say they are been pressured or coerced into having abortions against their will – and Laura DeCrescenzo, a New Mexico resident, is leading the way with a lawsuit against the "Church."
The Village Voice newspaper has a lengthy article on her struggle: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/07/scientology_laura_decrescenzo_scott_pilutik.php
All told, over the three years she's been suing Scientology for the way she was treated as a young Sea Org employee — including, she alleges, being forced to have an abortion at 17 so she could keep working extreme hours without interruption — she's been deposed a total of four and a half days.
Just keeping up with what's happened to her lawsuit since she first filed it in 2009 has also been exhausting — the case has been to state and federal courts, to a state appeals court, and now back to a state trial judge, and it's still a year from an actual trial date. And, as our legal expert Scott Pilutik tells us, DeCrescenzo still has serious hurdles to overcome to even reach that jury trial. But a year ago, Pilutik explained to us that the consequences of this single case are enormous for Scientology, which helps explain why the church is fighting it so hard.
If Laura DeCrescenzo can get her story heard in court, the result could be devastating.
DeCrescenzo has talked at length about the brainwashing she underwent during her time in what many people consider to be a cult. The brainwashing was so extensive that "Church" of Scientology members tried to talk her into thinking she had made the decision to have an abortion.
Also, she says, she constantly has to battle the church attorneys during the depositions over terminology. "They're always trying to put words in my mouth."
When she gave an answer about having a forced abortion, for example, she says one of the church attorneys began his next question by saying, "So, when you made the decision to have an abortion rather than leave…"
"I had to stop him. 'No, I was forced to have an abortion.' So we ended up going back and forth arguing about that," she says.
"I think my case is too unbelievable for most people to grasp," she adds. "It's almost too unbelievable for me. The fact that I started in the Sea Org at 12 and all that happened, it's just incredible."
DeCrescenzo isn't the only woman who has left the church and alleged to have been forced to have an abortion.
Maureen Bolstad, former Sea Org (a division of the "Church:) member, said in a 2009 interview on KESQ TV News: "If a woman gets pregnant, and does not abort the child, then they are declared a suppressive person. Because,it kind of started out gradually. At first, the thing was, the Church of Scientology International did not want to pay for child care."
Claire Headley, another former member, filed suit as well.
"In particular, Plaintiff complains that she worked long hard hours for illegal wages, was forced to have abortions to keep her job and was subjected to violations of personal rights and liberties by Defendants for purposes of obtaining forced labor," he legal challenge says. "The goals of this case include stopping the practice of ordering female employees to have abortions, stopping the practice of oppressive child labor and clearing the path for workers of Scientology organizations to obtain the compensation due them under state and federal labor laws. Plaintiff seeks payment for her work at minimum wage, overtime pay, a permanent injunction against forced abortions and other remedies authorized by law."
"In the course of, and by reason of her employment with Defendants, Plaintiff was ordered to have abortions, at her expense, and in fact coerced and intimidated into having abortions to keep her job with Defendant. Plaintiff is informed and believes that Defendants continue to ignore labor laws and coerce pregnant workers into forced abortions," it continues.
Tera Hattaway, former staff member for the Church, swore in an Affidavit in April 2001, "Within a month or so of joining staff I discovered that I was pregnant. At the time I was approximately 22 years old, upset and uncertain as to how to handle this. I was afraid and needed someone to turn to so I confided in Melanie, thinking I needed to let my ex-boyfriend know, as I truly did love him very much and we did have intentions to marry in the future. Melanie's very strong advice and pressure was to abort the baby. She had gone on to say that at this point in my life it is better to do the greatest good for all. That spending my life "clearing the planet"which means basically to get the planet saved from insanity, would be the greatest good, in other words, a far more noble endeavor than leaving staff to raise a child."
And Jenna Miscavige-Hill, another former member, talked with ABC's Nightline program about her experience.
Hill said that "if you get pregnant when you're in the Sea Org you either have to leave, or you get an abortion. I know women who have had up to four abortions."
Some critics of the "Church" of Scientology says the evidence is enough to warrant a massive investigation by state and federal authorities and for the IRS to reconsider its decision long ago to allow the Church to hold 501(c)3 nonprofit status. With articles like the one in the Village Voice, the "Church" is likely to face significantly more pressure.

DocuSign introduction
Vetropack publishes 2017 Sustainability Report
Bülach, 3 April 2018 – Sustainability is a top priority for Vetropack Group, which is why, for the fourth time now, it has published a report designed to inform its business partners, customers and the general public about its economic, environmental and social activities. The 2017 Sustainability Report is in line with the GRI G4 Reporting Guidelines – option "core".
Vetropack Group is one of the leading manufacturers of glass packaging for the food and beverage industry in Europe. It operates sites in Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Ukraine and Italy.
Quality and service standards secure economic success
The Group has been focusing on sustainable financial management for many years. The same high quality and flexible approach to customer requests at all companies in the Group is a key element of this strategy. A willingness to invest in technologies for improving our quality and efficiency is fundamental here. The European market environment developed favourably on the whole in 2017: demand grew and production volume went up. This is mainly accounted for by the enormous popularity of European wines and beers outside the continent itself, which stimulated exports and caused the demand for glass packaging to rise.
Contribution to the environment
Environmental protection is more than just an empty phrase, which is why Vetropack takes action such as calculating the carbon footprint of its customers' glass packaging. We apply the "cradle-to-cradle" approach, which takes account of the entire life cycle. Production technology, weight, cullet percentage, transport distances and transport methods are significant factors influencing the carbon footprint. By partially switching over to rail transport, for example, we have managed to reduce the number of lorry trips required in Switzerland by around 5,500. In doing so, we have succeeded in saving an estimated 2,900 tons of carbon dioxide.
In its efforts to reduce the eco-footprint of its products and services, Vetropack Group is sending out a clear message: investments are being made in product development, logistics, measures to raise the percentage of cullet in its melted material and the energy consumption of the melting furnaces.
In 2017, the percentage of recycled glass used in producing green glass was 67 per cent, while amber and flint glass containers consisted of 48 per cent and 43 per cent used glass respectively. In some glassworks, used glass makes up as much as 83 per cent of the raw material. The average figure was 53 per cent. Overall, 2,482 GWh of energy was consumed in 2017. Thermal energy for the furnaces accounted for more than 60 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions generated during production.
New paths in training and education
The Group-wide training centre in Pöchlarn was officially opened in 2017. Vetropack employees at all facilities can receive training in all production steps at the hot end here. The investment in the training centre will pave the way for Vetropack to train specialists itself in the long term. Satisfied staff and satisfied customers Integrity, reliability and transparency are key pillars when it comes to working with others at Vetropack – not only towards fellow staff but also in relation to customers, suppliers, neighbours and the local community.
An employee survey was carried out at our plants in Kremsmünster, Pöchlarn (both in Austria), Bülach and St-Prex at the end of 2016. The survey focused on the perceived attractiveness of our workplace culture.
Vetropack also conducted a customer survey in Croatia, Switzerland and Austria in 2017. The extensive positive feedback received from this demonstrates a consistently high level of customer satisfaction. It also provided an opportunity to identify new customer requirements, such as the need to expand smaller production series. This constructive criticism is a crucial driver for the ongoing development of Vetropack Group.

Greek banks under siege
Colin Barr
If Europe didn't have enough problems, Greece now has a full-fledged bank run on its hands.
Household deposits at Greek banks have dropped in five of the past six months, falling by a total of 12 billion euros ($17.6 billion), according to Bank of Greece data. Two-year deposits tumbled 8% from a year ago in April and savings deposits plunged at a 16% year-over-year clip in March, notes Graham Turner of GFC Economics in London.
It's not all that's crumbling
The flight of Greek funds overseas will only add to country's financial crisis, which has Greece on the verge of accepting another bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
But while officials may yet succeed in kicking this Hellenic can down the road for another year or two, at the very least the bank run adds unwelcome uncertainty. If enough money flees the country, it could hasten the inevitable restructuring of Greek debt – an outcome the European Central Bank is desperately trying to delay in the name of saving undercapitalized banks on the Continent.
A restructuring "will not be deferred indefinitely if Greek depositors continue to vote with their feet," Turner writes in a note to clients Tuesday. "They ultimately have the best sense of whether this level of austerity and privatization is sustainable from a political perspective."
The deposit flight is hardly surprising, considering the dire news coming out of Greece. Talk about its leaving the euro seems far fetched and has been resoundingly rejected by policymakers, but the country's road back to economic competitiveness is steep indeed.
Wages, as measured by unit labor costs, rose just 7% over the past decade in Germany but soared 50% or so in Greece – meaning that workers there are looking at steep pay cuts indeed if they are to bring the country's cost structure into line with the region's so-called core. And that is only a first step in what promises to be a long and punishing economic makeover, assuming the euro zone manages to hold together.
The woes of Greek banks follow a similar tale in Ireland over the past year. There, deposits left the country as it became clear that cleaning up the banking system would cost much more than the government had admitted.
That episode ended with the Irish getting a bailout in return for a horrific austerity program that, in typical bubble-era logic, left the investors who funded the banks' wrongheaded expansion binge untouched. The investors' luck is going to run out sooner or later — but it is hard to gauge just when, what with Germany pushing for an extension of Greek debt maturities and the ECB screaming in a near panic, Nothing to see here! Move along!
Such is life when your taxpayer dollars are directed mostly to propping up the edifices of banks that served mostly to enrich insiders when times are good.
For now, that effort continues mostly unimpeded elsewhere in Europe. There is no sign in the data that banking fears are spreading to Spain, which is by all accounts the next big European economy on the hit list, let alone much bigger Italy.
But then, this being the year of the bank run, it is early yet to rule out problems anywhere on the periphery.
"I think Greece is in a league of its own," says Turner, "but we know there has been significant buying of top end real estate in London by Spanish and Italian investors." From one house of cards to another, as it were.

Trials Fusion Review: Welcome to the Future
Posted on 04/16/2014 by Kyle Orr	Leave a comment
The Trials series is renowned for several things: addicting gameplay, great physics and steep challenges. With Trials Fusion, Redlynx's first effort on the new consoles, the formula hasn't really changed much. But it does bring the series brightly onto the the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for a whole new generation of fantastic motorcycle fun.
By bringing Fusion onto the new generation of consoles, Redlynx has moved the style of the game towards more futuristic settings. Levels include large, robotic factories and you are accompanied by a GLaDOS-sounding female computer voice through almost all of them. Fusion doesn't go full force with the futuristic settings though and still offers a ton of variety in the levels including cities, mountains, forests and plenty more. Levels are also full of activity with objects breaking away, shifting and bending as you pass through. The game looks good and runs perfectly at 60 frames per second but it doesn't seem to be pushing the system too much graphically. The music is similarly futuristic sounding and the main theme will almost certainly get stuck in your head.
The point of Fusion is fairly straightforward: drive a motorcycle from point A to point B as fast as you can and by crashing as few times as possible, preferably without a single crash at all. The path from beginning to the end involves complex obstacles such as large gaps, crazy jumps of all angles and debris littering the way. In order to succeed, you have to manage speed, traction, momentum and balance.
Controlling your bike through the various levels is about as simple as it gets. In fact, the controls haven't really changed that much in the series' long history. The right and left trigger control acceleration and braking, while the movement of the left stick dictates how you lean on the bike. Leaning is easily the most important aspect as it allows you to easily adjust to land correctly, align for a steep hill or pull off sweet flips. Tricks, which are brand new to the Trials series, are performed with the right stick.
Throughout the first couple of levels, the game will feel fairly easy. You can usually complete the beginning levels with few crashes or faults. After a second or third try, these opening levels can usually be completed with a gold medal, which means you went fast enough and met the requirement for fewest crashes. As the game goes on you'll find out that these opening sections were just an appetizer for the much more complicated, difficult path ahead.
The name of the game is (literally) Trials and that is a fitting description for what it's like to play most of the levels. A good amount of your time will be spent trying something, failing, and then retrying to get past whatever obstacle you need to overcome. It's a ridiculously addictive gameplay model that very rarely falls into frustration. You can always tell that the game is spot on in it's simulation of the way the bike handles, which means the reason you keep crashing is you and you alone. It's also lightning fast to reset to the latest checkpoint so a retry is never grating. There are also tons of checkpoints in every level so that if you manage to surpass an especially difficult part, you rarely have to do it over.
Many games take advantage of the formula of trying and trying until you finally get past a section but none do it as well as Trials Fusion. Once you get the hang of how each of the different bikes handle, and how to pull off some of the more complex moves, (which the game does teach you but in a pretty glossed over fashion) you will feel like you can do absolutely anything. You will want to keep playing and you will want to push yourself to get past that troublesome section. You will restart a level over and over again trying to shave that extra one second off of your time to finally earn that elusive gold medal. Why do you do it? You do it because when you finally do accomplish your goal, you feel like a god. And who doesn't want that?
Fusion also gives you incentive to go back and try to get higher scores on levels by tying it directly into the game's progression. Oftentimes, this type of idea turns out terribly. But in Fusion, the bar is set low enough that people with average skill should be able to unlock all of the events with just a little bit of elbow grease. Certainly there will be some things blocked off to some, like certain costumes, but almost all of the game should be accessible to everyone.
Speaking of costumes, various customization options are available. Similar to past games, there aren't tons of options but it is still fun to create your own guy. Many of the costumes match Fusion's futuristic, robotic aesthetic in it's levels with mechanical robot parts and helmets seemingly pulled right out of Battlestar Galactica. You can also customize the different vehicles but again, the options are scarce. There are only a few options for body styles and only a single color that can be modified.
Of the various additions, improvements and enhancements that Fusion offers, the most obvious is the new trick system. You can use tricks in any level (once you've unlocked them) but there are specific trick levels that test your ability to not only navigate a course, but to perform tricks all along the way. These levels involve giants jumps and falls which give you plenty of air time to pull off crazy stunts. The tricks, just like the rest of the game, seem simple at first but have a deep layer of complexity to them. What trick you do depends not only on what direction you push the right stick but also what position your bike is in when your start the trick.
These trick levels add onto the wacky skill modes from Evolution and provide a little twist towards just straightforward race levels. These skill levels will task you with things like flinging yourself off of your bike over a steep hill or trying to ride a bicycle with a loose front wheel. They provide a decent change of pace from the normal levels while also being an excellent representation of what is possible given the amazing physics model.
Another fun addition is the inclusion of an ATV to the standard mix of vehicles including several motorcycle types and bicycles. The ATV feels like a beginner's mode of sorts in that it's really easy to maneuver and difficult to crash. Obviously, the limitations of the ATV make it not work in many normal tracks as it definitely lacks the precision required to get past some of the crazier obstacles.
The real bread and butter of Fusion, similar to Evolution, is sure to be the community features. Leaderboards are an ever present factor that pushes much of the game. Beating your friend's scores is going to keep you coming back to the game for a long time. During a race, small orbs show your or your friend's best run in a given level. These will taunt you when you fall behind or fill you with joy when you finish ahead of one. You can also watch a replay of anyone's best time on the leaderboard to find out their secret or you can download a ghost to race against.
The main feature that will give Fusion legs for the next couple years is the creation tools. With the massive amount of tools Redlynx gives you, pretty much anything can be built out of this simple racing game. If you don't believe it, go look up some videos of the crazy things people built in Trials Evolution. These include movie homages, controller-chucking difficulty and even different genre games like shooters and platformers.
The tools are all there to create amazing things but in pre-release none of the amazing content has arrived yet. Redlynx has promised that some of the best level creators already have their hands on the game with a bunch of user created content set to drop on launch day. If the life of Fusion is anything like Evolution, there is plenty to look forward to.
Redlynx is also clearly planning to support Fusion for a long time. There is a planned online multiplayer mode set to release for free in the future but that aspect is bare at launch. Though there is the same fun four-player local multiplayer. There is also a season pass available to purchase, which bundles six content packs that will add brand new levels and creation items. The standard download for Trials Fusion is $20 but you can also pick up a $40 retail version that comes bundled with the $20 season pass.
Fusion doesn't change the formula much from previous titles in the series, but considering how great that formula is, there really didn't need to be any meddling. The things that were added are fun but not game-changing, and the new levels added here are a blast to play. The big change will likely be the upcoming multiplayer mode that is supposed to be a huge improvement on the middling multiplayer of Evolution. Even without online multiplayer, Fusion is still incredibly easy to to recommend for the fun factor alone. Just be aware that getting your money's worth will likely require you to stick around for the great user maps and multiplayer.

Q: Lua function returns Nil I have a problem with a function that returns a table. That table is filled with data from a DB row (on another function) and then the function send that to the client to be displayed. I initialized the table and filled with random data, which is correctly returned. The function correctly prints all the items inside getSData, but when it's time to return it doesn't return anything, and even dumps the whole table in the last print function.
function getBourse()
    local result = {
        {
            libelle = "Any random item name",
            price = 830728,
            difference = 0.0
        }
    }
    vRP.getSData({"vRP:economy_trs", function(data)
        local economy_trs = json.decode(data) or {}
        for k,v in pairs(economy_trs) do
            local htr = economy_trs[k]
            for g,i in pairs(htr) do
                if i ~= nil or g ~= nil then
                    if g ~= "timestamp" then
                        print("itemname "..tostring(g).." amount "..tostring(i.out_money))
                        table.insert(result,{libelle = tostring(g), price = tostring(i.out_money), difference = 0.0})
                    end
                end
            end
        end
        print("test ", dump(result))
    end})

    return result
end

this is how getSData works:
function vRP.getSData(key, cbr)
  local task = Task(cbr,{""})

  MySQL.query("vRP/get_srvdata", {key = key}, function(rows, affected)
    if #rows > 0 then
      task({rows[1].dvalue})
    else
      task()
    end
  end)
end

The problem I'm experiencing is like the getSData part is slow to fetch everything and the function already got to the return. Hope I explained what I'm trying to do well, since English isn't my main language.
The solution to my problem is this one:
function getBourse(cbr)
    local task = Task(cbr,{""})
    local result = {}

    vRP.getSData({"vRP:economy_trs", function(data)
        local economy_trs = json.decode(data) or {}
        for k,v in pairs(economy_trs) do
            local htr = economy_trs[k]
            for g,i in pairs(htr) do
                if i ~= nil or g ~= nil then
                    if g ~= "timestamp" then
                        table.insert(result,{libelle = tostring(g), price = tonumber(i.out_money), difference = 0.0})
                    end
                end
            end
        end
        task({result})
    end})
end

Jórunn Erla Eyfjörð (born in Reykjavík on 25 May 1946) is an Icelandic molecular biologist and professor emerita at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Iceland. She is known for her research on breast cancer genetics.

Career
Jórunn Erla matriculated from the mathematics division of Reykjavik Junior College (Menntaskólinn í Reykjavik) in 1966. She did her undergraduate studies at the University of Iceland and University of Minnesota. She graduated with a BSc in biology from the University of Iceland in 1971. Along with her undergraduate studies she worked as an assistant to professor Gudmundur Eggertsson at his newly founded molecular genetics laboratory, at Keldur, Institute for Experimental Pathology. Jórunn continued her studies in molecular genetics at the MRC Cell Mutation Unit, University of Sussex, England, and completed her doctorate in 1976 on the topic of DNA repair, studying the processes by which a cell recovers from damage due to radiation.

From 1977 Jórunn continued her research at the University of Iceland, while also lecturing on molecular genetics, human genetics and cell biology at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Iceland. In 1988 she was appointed to a post in the newly founded Molecular and Cell Biology Research Laboratory of the Icelandic Cancer Society to launch a research program in genetics.

In 2007, the laboratory was moved to the Faculty of Medicine and renamed the Cancer Research Laboratory. The laboratory then became part of the University of Iceland's fast-growing University of Iceland BioMedical Center. Jórunn was appointed Associate Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Iceland, in 1998 and Professor 2005. Along with her teaching and research duties she has contributed to the University of Iceland in other ways, such as by chairing the Science Committee of the Faculty of Medicine (2002-2008), sitting on the Assessment Committee for Academic Qualifications (2002-2011, as chair 2008-2011) and Steering Board member of the Faculty of Medicine (2013-2016). She has supervised many students in master's and doctoral studies. She also contributed to Icelandic and foreign professional councils, such as the Icelandic Centre for Research, the Swedish Research Council, Vetenskabsradet, the Finnish Academy of Science and SciLifeLab in Sweden.

Research

Discovery of an Icelandic BRCA2 founder mutation
Jórunn participated actively in the Breast Cancer Linkage Consortium, an international effort to find breast cancer risk genes. She benefited from important data contained in the Icelandic Cancer Registry, run by the Icelandic Cancer Society, and no less from the participation of cancer patients and their relatives. Linkage analysis on a family with several cases of male breast cancer showed linkage to the then recently discovered BRCA2 gene, on chromosome 13 (the first such gene BRCA1 had been known since 1990). Jórunn published these results on male breast cancer in the medical journal Lancet 1995. Her team participated in further definition of the BRCA2 gene on chromosome 13, and found an Icelandic mutation, BRCA2 999del5, in a male breast cancer case at the end of 1995. This mutation proved to be common among Icelandic breast cancer patients of both sexes and was also linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer. Although risk of prostate cancer is much lower than risk of female breast cancer among carriers of this founder mutation, it was shown to be strongly associated with poor prognosis. International studies confirmed this association of BRCA2 mutations with aggressive prostate cancer and this was followed up by the EU funded IMPACT study  Targeted prostate cancer screening that has led to a number of publications regarding prostate cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. Extensive studies on the population impact and clinical relevance of this BRCA2 founder mutation followed as well as studies on mutations and epigenetic inactivation of the BRCA1 gene in Icelandic cancer patients in collaboration with the Icelandic Cancer Registry and researchers at the National University Hospital.

Genomic instability in tumor cells
Along with studies on cancer genetics Jórunn studied chromosomal instability in breast tumor tissue using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) and chromosome painting. Chromosomal instability in breast tumors was shown to be associated with mutations in the tumor suppressor gene TP53. After the discovery of the Icelandic BRCA2 founder mutation Jórunn and her team demonstrated that complex chromosomal changes and end-to-end chromosome fusions were common in breast tumors from BRCA2 mutation carriers. These findings showed that cells lacking functional BRCA2 protein are prone to DNA damage and suggest that BRCA2 has a role in double strand break repair. This also suggested that the telomere sequences at the ends of chromosomes were more sensitive to BRCA2 related repair deficiencies than the rest of the genome.

International collaboration on cancer research
Jórunn's research group participated in The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), that defined mutation patterns that characterize 20 of the commonest human cancers. This was published in Nature 2013. Following this publication, more detailed research into breast cancer was published in Nature 2016 and also a detailed definition of subgroups of breast cancer with respect to newer treatments í Nature Medicine 2017.
This research was the subject of a conference held in Jórunn's honor in May 2016 and also in a news item on UI's website.

Contribution to bioethics
Jórunn has contributed to the discussion surrounding the difficult ethical questions arising from rapid progress in genetics. She was a member of the Nordic Committee on Bioethics 1989–99, and chaired this committee 1994–99. She was also a member of the Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects Working Group (ELSA), a committee for life sciences ethics under EU auspices.

Science outreach
Jórunn has been very active in presenting her research to the general public. For example, in October 2014 she gave the first talk in a lecture series  "Science in Plain Language", sponsored by the University of Iceland. She has also held lectures and worked with Let's Walk Together, a support association that raises funds for breast cancer research. Jórunn has been very active in presenting her research to the general public.

Awards
Order of the Falcon 1996 (awarded by President Vigdís Finnbogadóttir).
The Medical Faculty prize in recognition of her research 1995.
The VÍS culture prize in recognition of research into cancer 1996.
The Ása Wright prize in recognition of research in cancer genetics 2005.
The University of Iceland prize for contributions to science 2007.
The Icelandic Biological Society honorary prize for a successful scientific career 2019.

Personal life
Jórunn's parents were Friða Stefánsdóttir Eyfjörð, sports teacher, (1915-1998) and Friðrik J. Eyfjörð, retail merchant, (1912-2003). She is married to Robert J. Magnus, mathematician and professor emeritus at the University of Iceland. They have two children.

Marketing lies for the nth time on our faces, nobody bats an eye.
A news site exaggerates a bit, while still saying the truth with the official information handled, everybody losses their minds.
Remember people that the official word once said that Afghanistan had WMDs, and that a small plane hit one of the towers. If journalism didn't push, we would know nothing, Jon Snow.
Your opinion, not supported by the events that have transpired. Wait for it though...
No you are confusing opinions with facts ! MSI officially confirmed support for 300 series ( sure maybe not all of them but at least some for sure wich has nothing to do with ''greedy MSI won't support 300 series at all '' ) so '' my opinion '' becomes a fact ! The only opinion not supported by the events is yours actually !
Except that MSI confirmed the statement made by the tech support rep and gave official input on the subject.
Yes and what was the official input they gave ?
''It has come to our attention that MSI Customer Support has regrettably misinformed an MSI customer with regards to potential support for next-gen AMD CPUs ....... we are still performing extensive testing on our existing lineup of 300- and 400-series AM4 motherboards to verify potential compatibility for the next-gen AMD Ryzen CPUs. To be clear: Our intention is to offer maximum compatibility for as many MSI products as possible.
You're assuming they didn't. You're also assuming that MSI didn't ignore them. Are you expecting TPU to share all is correspondence to prove up? Never gonna happen.
Im assuming nothing ! Im not expecting TPU to share all is correspondace , what im expecting on the other hand is a simple disclaimer stating '' we contacted MSI for a comment but we have been ignored up to this date '' wich is standard practice in the industry . Did you saw such a disclaimer ? I didn't so yeah ...... maybe you are assuming they did ?
That is the single most intellectually bereft statement I've read this year, and there's been some whoppers so far.
Well im glad you came to realise that the logic you are using is intellectually bereft cause that statement sums up perfectly this logic !
So effectively you've just proven you do not understand the sequence and circumstances of events and thus the big picture.
You make it clear that im loosing my time here so this is where this discussion ends for me ......
You make it clear that im loosing my time here so this is where it ends for me ......
Ok then, bye bye now.
I don't really understand why so many people have got their panties in a bunch about this. Unless it affects you personally laugh it off. Mistakes may or may not have been made, but have been rectified. Lets all just have a beer, spliff or coffee whatever your poison is and chill out with a nice game of something.

So big corporations and states should be treated as innocent until proven guilty. Got it.
Yes, everybody and every 'thing' is innocent until proven guilty. No matter how rich or how poor.
is innocent until proven guilty
In a court of law. In the court of public opinion, things can be and often are a bit different.
Yup, you nailed it. Facts not needed only opinion. See the original article.
Nice retort. There are but a few problems with your conclusion;
Fact 1. MSI tech support made the statement to a customer that the next gen of Ryzen CPU's would not be supported on certain boards that are, by design, compatible.
Fact 2. This information was made public through a channel not controlled by TPU.
Fact 3. Btarunr wrote an article about the information, blasting MSI for it's seemingly foolish choice.
Fact 4. MSI makes a statement confirming that the tech support rep had made the statements reported.
Fact 5. MSI also stated that it's still researching compatibility of it's motherboards.
We don't need a court of law to understand those facts.

You can't read over 100 words?
Yes clearly I am the asshole for expecting customer service to provide accurate information, and just to be clear I'm not blaming the CSR in the email I'm blaming MSI for not training their CSR's properly.
When you work in customer support your job is to give accurate factual information to the customers questions, if you dont know the answer to the question you dont just make something up.
I have worked in customer support and one of the first things I was told was to make sure the information you give to the customer is accurate to prevent shitstorms like we see here.
The correct response from this CSR should have been "I currently do not have any information pertaining to the support of the Ryzen 3000 series on 300 series motherboards" or even a simple "I dont know"
Reactions: lexluthermiester and GoldenX
Somehow a small screwup is the fault of the fake news, and if you complain about the mistake you are literally a horrible human being, as someone here put it. Good god...
I am just happy that my motherboard at the very least supports the next APUs.
Your point missing abilities are impressive.
His point wasn't whether we need a court of law at all, it was that people tend to rush to judgement and grab their pitchforks too quickly, even before they have the facts. And while "the court of public opinion" is not the same as an actual court (of which I am well aware), one would assume that supposedly intelligent people in a supposedly civilized society/community would manage to be at least a bit level-headed and prudent so that a "court of public opinion" doesn't turn into a witch hunt.
In a perfect world companies could be counted upon to behave with integrity and such assumptions would be a safe bet. However, this isn't a perfect world and companies regularly behave in shady, corrupt ways that make them look like greedy, uncivilized hooligans.
So the fact is, you and many others in this thread have missed the point because you have failed, colossally, to see the big picture. Good luck with that...
Hey, I saw a reddit post by some guy that says lexluthermiester's PC shop is going to start changing all motherboards to cheap Chinese knockoffs and charge the client as if it was a real motherboard. Quick grab the pitchforks and torches. It's a company so their coffers must be full and they must lie and always cheat consumers. It must be true it was on reddit.
What happened in the course of the editorial and the resulting clarification is a dangerous path to take.
Hey, I saw a reddit post by some guy that says lexluthermiester's PC shop is going to start changing all motherboards to cheap Chinese knockoffs and charge the client as if it was a real motherboard.
Joke's on you, we've been using motherboards from AliExpress for some time. They have been quite reliable(read not one defect out about 200 purchased) and good performers for budget builds. For clients that need sub-$250 upgrade path or a sub-$700 complete system puchase they are a great value.
Quick grab the pitchforks and torches. It's a company so their coffers must be full and they must lie and always cheat consumers. It must be true it was on reddit.
You must think that was clever. It wasn't.
What happened was a potentially serious problem. TPU and others took EXACTLY the correct action to express to MSI(and the rest of the industry) what would NOT be tolerated. You're arguing the wrong side of the fence. Pull your head out of the sand(or your backside, whatever) and get with the program.
That's right, I forgot that you are never wrong and don't care about facts. I'll bow out because clearly no one cares about the world running on assumptions. Or at least care marking a post as an editorial when there is nothing but baseless assumptions to go off.
Have fun with your substandard journalism.
buh bye
Funny how companies can do whatever they want, but you are not allowed to criticize them. Sounds like medieval Europe and the church.
That's right, I forgot that you are never wrong and don't care about facts.
First, I'm not the one making the accusations. Second, let's review;
Are you disputing these things?
I'll bow out because clearly no one cares about the world running on assumptions. Or at least care marking a post as an editorial when there is nothing but baseless assumptions to go off.
No, the problem is you(and others) not accepting facts, one of which is listed above and proven below; MSI admitting the mistake made by/through their tech support rep. Instead of seeing the facts as they are, you're letting your pride react. Good luck with that.
Alrighty then.
And there's this(Thank you @Adnel Ortiz );

I have been in the IT field for over 20 years, the words "I don't know" should never be spoken. That is the last thing a customer or your boss wants to hear, it is better to say I will have the info/answer your looking for shortly or I will research that question for you.
I would accept "I currently do not have any information pertaining to the support of the Ryzen 3000 series on 300 series motherboards" with the added "I will further research that information and once it becomes available you will be forwarded the info" over "I dont know" any day of the week.
It was ingrained in me by my first boss who told me never...never say "I do not know" to a customer.
Carminus said:
Complete Effing Rubbish! "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer. When I call tech support, I absolutely loath hearing the canned statements like the ones you iterated. I would rather the rep tell me flat out that they don't know, or that there isn't a solution for the problem at hand. In this case, telling a customer that MSI doesn't have information about the compatibility of futures CPU's is perfectly acceptable as the
CPU's aren't even announced yet let alone released.
That boss was a pretentious moron.
Put down the red bull and take a deep breath. What YOU find as and acceptable answer (in your case a non-answer) others may not like me. It shows motivation that the CS will work to find an answer to your questions rather than the millennial way of "I don't know" which equates "I am too lazy and don't care". Do I expect everyone to have answers, of course not. At least show me that your attempting to find one.


Here are a few pieces which I will be hopefully buying from New Looks spring/summer collection this year. There were so many cute girly dresses, wedges and floral pieces that are so perfect for summer. I'm excited to see more of what New Look has to offer this season. Although so far, I think I prefer Primark's spring/summer pieces.
1. PRINTED SUMMER DRESS: This dress would be great on its own and as a laying piece. I think it would look nice with a light summer scarf or a thin white blazer. Then for the colder days a light coloured jumper over the top. I can't really work out what the print is, It's sort of floral but not. I don't know.
2. METALLIC SHORTS: I reaaaaally like these shorts. They would look great in the day time and in the evening. I think they would look cute with a basic white crop top. I really hope to buy this when it's in store.
3. LACE INSERT TOP: I think this is really cute, It a cool alternative to a plain white sleeveless shirt. It could be wore with jeans or tucked into skirts for a day look or even a more formal look. I really like the pink lace, it really makes the shirt more of a statement piece. Plus, it also has that cowboy feel to it. Love.
4. PLEATED BOUCLE SKIRT: I have seen quite a lot of boucle clothing recently, I really like it as it adds texture to an outfit. This skirt is just a basic skirt which needs to be in my wardrobe. It would look great with t-shirts or shirts tucked into it for a casual look. I also really like the colour, as I don't own much pink and it would look really cute in the spring/summer.
5. SHEER PRINTED SHIRT: I hate sheer shirts. It's just such a hassle because I don't want to show off my bra and I don't want to have a wear a vest under it. But I do really like this one, as I love the contrast between the white collar and the print.
Check out the rest of New Look's spring/summer collection here!
ooo love the little shorts, i might have to get them when they hit stores !
I absolutely adore the shorts and little pink skirt ! I cannot wait for spring ! I feel like it's been winter for ages now, and we haven't even had snow in south of France, meh not even worth being in winter haha !
I agree! I'm so ready for spring!
Oh my gosh that summer dress is so so so cute!
Oh I love the pleated skirt, that is so classy!

The thirty-fourth government of Israel, also known as the Fourth Netanyahu Government,[1] is the government of Israel, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu between 2015 and present. It was formed after the March 2015 Knesset elections. The coalition that made up the government, consisting of Likud, United Torah Judaism, Shas, Kulanu and the Jewish Home, was submitted to the President of Israel just before the deadline on 6 May 2015. Government ministers were introduced, approved by the Knesset and sworn in on 14 May. Deputy ministers were sworn in on 19 May. On 29 December 2018, the newly-formed New Right party became a coalition partner, after splitting from the Jewish Home.
Between them, the coalition parties held 61 of the 120 seats in the Knesset. The elections that led to the formation of the government were a result of events on 2 December 2014, when Netanyahu dismissed two of his ministers, whose parties' members subsequently resigned from the 33rd government, dissolving the government ahead of schedule.[2][3]
During the 34th government, several corruption cases arose in regards to Netanyahu. Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked stated that even if indicted, Netanyahu would still be able to continue as Prime Minister.[4] On 26 December 2018, Knesset members officially passed a law dispersing the Knesset.[5] The Knesset reassembled following the April 2019 Israeli legislative election, only to be dispersed once again on 30 May 2019 after Netanyahu failed to form a new cabinet.[6][7][8]

3.1 Kulanu

Policy guidelines[edit]
The policy guidelines for the 34th government included, but were not limited to:[9]
Strengthening the rule of law
Reducing the cost of living
Increasing competition, especially in the financial sector, and granting easier access to credit for small and medium businesses
Integrating disabled persons into society, in providing education and employment aid
Advancing the peace process with the Palestinians and other neighbors, while keeping Israel's national interests

Terms of coalition agreements are considered binding law in Israel.[10] As such, parties must adhere to the agreements made with the Prime Minister when the coalition was formed.
Changes to the responsibilities of official positions include the relinquishment of the Justice Minister's ability to appoint judges to religious courts. Also, the Religious Affairs Minister will not have control over affairs connected to conversion to Judaism; that will be under the purview of the Prime Minister's office.
Coalition agreements[edit]
President Reuven Rivlin (right) assigned the task of forming the new government to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (left) in an official ceremony held on 25 March 2015.
Kulanu[edit]
Kulanu agreed to support the implementation of the Norwegian Law, allowing members of the Knesset to exit the Knesset upon receiving a post in the cabinet.[11]
Likud agreed to raise the salary of soldiers, give unemployment insurance to self-employed workers and set a biennial budget by October 2015.[12]
Kulanu was also permitted to vote against the coalition if it disagreed with legislation that would reform the Israeli Supreme Court.
The Jewish Home[edit]
The agreement included an increase of NIS 630 million ($163.4 million) for the education budget, an allocation of NIS 1 billion ($259 million) to raise soldiers' pay during their third year of service, a budget increase for Ariel University, which is in the West Bank, and support for the so-called NGO bill.[13]
The agreement also stipulated that all obligations and commitments made to increase Haredi institutions will have to come from the Finance Ministry, not the Education Ministry.
Cabinet members[edit]
On 30 May 2019,[6] Netanyahu failed to form a new cabinet following disputes with former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman and a vote to temporarily dissolve the Knesset until another election can be held in September 2019 was passed.[6][7][8] The current Cabinet, which is inactive in its full duties so long as the Knesset is dissolved, includes:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Likud
Minister of Defense
Moshe Ya'alon (5/14/15-5/22/16) Likud
Benjamin Netanyahu (5/22/16-5/30/16) Likud

Deri resigned his post as Minister of the Economy reportedly over an unpopular gas monopoly deal. Netanyahu took over the portfolio and promised to speed up the deal.[19] Netanyahu resigned his post as Minister of Communications following an investigation into his relationship with the media, and was replaced temporarily by Tzachi Hanegbi.[20] The Ministry for Senior Citizens was renamed Ministry for Social Equality in August, 2015.

India vs Australia: Confirmed squads, predicted lineups for 2023 Test cricket series
Australia will look to continue their strong form in the Test arena in February, with a four-game series scheduled away from home against India.
After making light work of West Indies and South Africa, the top-ranked Test side will face a much tougher task when they head overseas and look to win their first series in India since 2004.
Pat Cummins will lead the Aussies in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, while the likes of Cameron Green and Mitchell Starc will be racing the clock to be fit for the series opener on February 9th.
Rohit Sharma is set to captain the host nation in the massive series, while the likes of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara should also be in action.
Here's who is expected to line up for both Australia and India in the Test series.
Australia confirmed squad and team news

Todd Murphy
Matt Renshaw
Mitchell Swepson
Australia have confirmed an 18-man squad for the upcoming tour of India, with very few changes as expected following a dominant home summer and plenty of in-form players allowing for a balanced set-up.
Ashton Agar, Mitchell Swepson and Todd Murphy have edged out the likes of Matthew Kuhnemann and Adam Zampa for the secondary spinner roles, while the likes of Sean Abbott and Michael Neser have missed out as the seamers.
Matt Renshaw will fly to India after making a long-awaited return to the Test arena and could slot in the top or middle order. Marcus Harris has missed out on selection after not featuring during the home summer.
Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green have both been included in the squad, but are unlikely to feature in the first match due to injury.
Australia predicted 1st Test XI and team news
Mitchell Starc has been ruled out of the first Test, while all-rounder Cameron Green won't be able to bowl after both men suffered finger injuries against South Africa. Their potential absences will likely be filled by the same men who stepped up for Sydney in the form of Renshaw and Agar, with the Aussies expected to go with a two-pronged spin attack and just two seamers. Green would replace Renshaw in the side if he is fit for the second Test.
India confirmed squad and team news
KL Rahul (vc)
KS Bharat (wk)
Jaydev Unadkat
Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to feature for India, with the fast bowler ruled out of an upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka. Ajinkya Rahane has been in strong first-class form as he pushes for a Test recall, but has been left out of the squad. Rishabh Pant is unlikely to feature during the series after being involved in a car accident in December, with back-up keeper KS Bharat expected to take his spot. Sarfaraz Khan has been overlooked despite his 80.47 first-class average, with Indian selectors opting to take white-ball sensation Suryakumar Yadav in the squad.
India predicted 1st Test XI and team news
Srikar Bharat
With the absence of Bumrah, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami will likely be locked in a battle for the main seam options. India will likely go into the match with two front-line spinners, as both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are expected to feature prominently throughout the series.

Atacand HCT is a combination drug used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains candesartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) which relaxes blood vessels to allow better blood flow, and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic (water pill) which increases urination and helps relax blood vessels. This and other drugs should be used under the direction of a doctor with a complete and current list of medications and medical history, including allergies. Patients who have had an allergic reaction to candesartan, hydrochlorothiazide, or inactive ingredients commonly found in medications may have a reaction to atacand HCT. Patients should talk to their doctor before taking this medication if they have a personal medical history of kidney or liver disease, mineral imbalance, gout, lupus, or dehydration. This drug may cause dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how atacand HCT will affect you. Patients may also experience tiredness or lightheadedness. If these effects worsen or persist, notify your doctor. Serious side effects can occur when taking this medication and should be reported to your doctor, including dehydration, fainting, signs of kidney problems, toe/joint pain, muscle weakness, slow/irregular heartbeat, vision changes, and eye pain. Tell your doctor if you are taking aliskiren, lithium, dofetilide, or other products that may increase blood potassium levels, as these products may affect the way atacand HCT works. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of this medication without consulting your doctor. It's important to follow manufacturer, pharmacy, and doctor's instructions when using this and other medical products.

Q: I can´t execute my app on my phone sdk old, I must change my gradle? I´m using Android Studio version 3, I´m trying to execute my simple app, but this comes out:
    pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.example.jhon.pasardatosentreactivities
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]

Installation failed since app's minSdkVersion is newer than device's API level (API 1).
Please update your apps minSdkVersion.
Error while Installing APK

I have to de some sort of update on my phone? Or I have to change may gradle?
Note: The code is very short, I don´t think is necessary.
gradle
    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.jhon.pasardatosentreactivities"
        minSdkVersion 27
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-rc01'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}

Please make the answer with detail, I'm new on this.

A: Change like this:
defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.jhon.pasardatosentreactivities"
        minSdkVersion 1  //set this equal to your target device's android api level
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

But support libraries have smallest API level limitation which greater than 1 , so I suggest you update device OS or buy newer phone.

Film: Meet Sālote, a seven-year old witness from frontline of climate change
Home > Film: Meet Sālote, a seven-year old witness from frontline of climate change
ICN, 14th August 2018
Operation Noah, the Christian climate change charity, has today launched a thought-provoking animated film, Sālote, to help Christians around the world recognise the human cost of a changing climate, and its particular impact on women and children.
While most adults in the UK think that climate change is real and caused primarily by human activity, many Christians don't yet see this as a faith issue. Among theologically conservative Christians in particular, recent polling indicates that concern for the future impact of environmental issues is taken less seriously than in other parts of the church.
The animated video Sālote, aimed at Christians of all ages and developed in partnership with the World Day of Prayer, a women-led, global, ecumenical movement, tells the story of Sālote, a seven-year old girl who is already experiencing the devastating impacts of climate change in her South Pacific island home. The film is inspired by real-life accounts of present-day climate change impacts, which hit the poor and vulnerable, living in sensitive parts of the world like low-lying islands, the hardest. UN figures indicate that women and children are 14 times more likely than men to die or be injured during extreme weather events such as cyclones, which are projected to increase significantly as global average temperatures rise.

Glass material is a key design feature of contemporary architecture. The reflective and transparent properties of glass offer people a range of benefits – but for birds, windows and glass facades are a danger. In the reflections of trees and bushes, for example, birds see a supposedly "natural landing place". Or glass is not recognised as an obstacle because what birds see is a natural flight corridor. Nowadays, bird strike is a key factor in the decline of the worldwide bird population.
In ISOLAR ORNILUX® we have developed a product range that resolves the problem of bird strikes using scientific solutions. Functionality, efficiency and aesthetic appeal are not inconsistent with architecture that protects birds. ISOLAR ORNILUX® mikado, for example, has a UV-reflecting coating with a criss-cross pattern (similar to the game of pick-up-sticks, called Mikado in German). Birds recognise this coating because they can see parts of the UV range. However, the coating is virtually invisible to the human eye – which means that transparency in architecture is no longer incompatible with bird protection.
ISOLAR ORNILUX® screenprint is suitable for applications in which colour marking is requested as a design feature. This glass has coloured screen printed markings whose effectiveness in protecting birds has been tested and verified – and which at the same time perform the function of a decorative design element.
ISOLAR ORNILUX® screenprint is the ideal solution for all areas in which visible markings are requested. The panes of glass become a design feature thanks to the coloured screen-printed pattern.
