11 June, 2019 | Elections | European Elections, Live operation, Panama, Portugal, RTP, Spain
wTVision has covered hundreds of elections all over the world and its team is used to work in every kind of environment, easily adapting to any project's specifications.
Just this year, wTVision's teams of specialists were already present in eight different election nights, providing experienced operators for live broadcasts in Panama, Portugal and Spain. These teams make sure the right information is aired at the right time, throughout the long hours and the unpredictability of every coverage.
wTVision's capacity to understand the different cultural aspects of each election, adapting to each language and format, allowed it to be one of the most effective and demanded operation players in the market.
From small projects, like the one implemented in Antena 3 (Spain) for the European Elections, where only two specialists were on site, to much more complex productions like the one provided to RTP (Portugal), where a team of 15 people worked continuously, wTVision continues to prove its capability to adjust to any workflow.
In 2019, a team of around 50 people has already been involved in live productions while covering elections in Panama, Portugal and Spain, providing complete solutions, customized to the client's needs and its existing structure.
wTVision collaborated in Local, Presidential and European elections just in the first semestre of 2019, but the year is full of new challenges for our extensive team working on live operations.

Feds propose tougher look at whether EHRs work
Darius Tahir
"This will create another level of accountability. We're all challenged by lack of functionality to hit these (meaningful-use) measures. It's because these systems are not truly ready." Cletis Earle Chief information officer St. Luke's Cornwall
The federal health information technology coordinator's proposed certification rule signals that the agency wants to better ensure that electronic health-record systems perform as promised.
Last week, HHS' Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT proposed a two-pronged approach to achieve that goal. It will increase transparency for EHR systems marketed to providers and encourage EHR certifying bodies to raise their minimum standards.
"This will create another level of accountability," said Cletis Earle, chief information officer at St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital, Newburgh, N.Y. "We're all challenged by lack of functionality to hit these (meaningful-use) measures," he said. "It's because these systems are not truly ready."
Providers say it's common for them to purchase a "complete" EHR, certified as complying with the meaningful-use program, only to find that they have to pay extra to achieve the program's goals.
The certification program is supposed to give clients assurance that what they're buying can perform the tasks required by the federal meaningful-use program. Certifying groups inspect EHRs in a controlled environment, then check to see if they work in the field.
But some buyers say the certified EHRs often do not perform as promised, and action is needed to ensure that they do. Earle said that when the second stage of the meaningful-use incentive program rolled out, St. Luke's Cornwall was using Meditech Magic, version 5.66. According to the government's EHR list, the program is certified for the "view, download and transmit" function, which allows patients to access their data and transport it elsewhere.
Earle said, however, that the software didn't actually have that capability. So he either had to buy a module from Meditech or a third party, or build one. Earle chose to buy one, which cost "tens of thousands of dollars." Meditech did not respond to a request for comment.
MH Takeaways
The national health IT coordinator wants tougher certification requirements and for vendors to disclose the cost of making an EHR system perform as certified.
"Time and time again, I'm going back to my vendors, and saying, 'Look, these are the regulatory requirements, and you're not necessarily making sure we fit those initiatives,' " he said.
Charles Christian, CIO of St. Francis Hospital in Columbus, Ga., said he's had similar experiences with his hospital's EHR and direct messaging using the C-CDA standard, which allows hospitals to exchange patient data. His vendor attempted to sell the capability as an extra, despite claiming the EHR was complete. "After expressing my disappointment that they would use this as a revenue opportunity, I was successful in getting the services turned on without additional costs," he said.
Dr. Farzad Mostashari, who formerly headed the ONC and now is CEO of the health IT firm Aledade, said such problems likely spurred the ONC to act. "I don't think that every vendor did this, or every certification requirement was treated this way," he said. "But enough vendors are doing it in enough certification criteria."
To win certification, the ONC now wants EHR vendors to disclose more information about the use of their systems, including how much it would cost to make the EHR perform as certified. The other prong of the agency's proposal is to increase surveillance requirements. The agency hopes that higher minimum requirements will stimulate more thorough surveillance by certifying bodies. The intent is for the certifying bodies to investigate whether the EHR systems are performing in the field as they do in the lab.
That will be accomplished through two methods: reactive surveillance, in which a certifying body responds to complaints from customers in the field; and randomized surveillance, in which a certifying body proactively inspects EHRs used by clinicians.
With randomized surveillance, the agency proposes that each certifying body must select 10% of its certified products per year to inspect for compliance.
Strengthening the inspection requirements is critical, Mostashari said. Up to now, he said, vendors "develop the functionality in order to pass the (certification) test. They don't bother reworking the whole product to make that function or feature a core part of their production environment."
But Earle worries that the auditors testing the systems might not be up to the job, saying they need to have clinical experience to understand why certain functionalities might fail.
As a part of the proposed rule, the ONC is considering how to go about stripping an EHR's certification. But decertifying a product means it cannot be used to attest for meaningful use—which affects all the providers using that product, Mostashari warned. They might have to switch systems or hope the product can regain certification. "There has to be a lot of thought given to the process, to the due process, and how to minimize the potential impact to the innocent bystanders," he said.

Today on Body Kindness we're talking about the need to increase diversity in the field of dietetics and you'll learn why it matters (including for anyone who is working on Body Kindness and stepping away from diets and weight-focused counseling). Tamara Melton is a dietitian on a mission. She wants to bring diversity to the field of dietetics so that we can all do a better job at helping the people we serve.
Tamara's announcing a new non-profit, Diversify Dietetics, and sharing how you can get involved. The bottom line is we will all do a better job at enhancing the health and well-being of others when everyone is represented — size, race, ethnicity, gender, ability, sexual identity.
Tamara Melton is a registered dietitian and educator, and has worked in higher education for over 10 years. During undergrad and grad school Tamara noticed how much the field of nutrition lacked diversity. Tamara noticed students of color who desired to study nutrition met upon barriers not uncommon to people of color. Tamara made it a goal to work with students of color who are first generation college students and first generation American – Tamara is both of these. She has now co-founded Diversify Dietetics with Deanna Belleny to help students of color who have a goal to enter the field of nutrition and dietetics. She firmly believes that increasing the diversity in the field of nutrition (and all health professions) will in turn improve the quality of care for clients and patients.

Endangered Primates Species List — Mountain Gorilla, Blue-Eyed Black Lemur, Howler Monkeys, Tarsiers, Gibbons, Tamarins, Etc
January 17, 2015 in Animals & Insects
Amongst all of the animals facing extinction in the world currently, perhaps the most interesting are those that share relatively recent ancestors (and many, many, many behaviors and social patterns…) with us — that is to say, other primates. The greater apes, the lesser apes (gibbons), the monkeys, the baboons, the lemurs, the tarsiers, the bush babies, etc.
The vast majority of these animals (across all of their various families, genera, and species) have seen their numbers plummet in recent years — largely owing to the incredible rates of habitat destruction seen over recent years, via deforestation, desertification, and encroaching human settlements.
Endangered primates now occupy perhaps the most prominant place in the public eye as far as endangered animals. The only other endangered land-animals that are perhaps of similar 'charisma' to the primates are the big cats, and/or elephants. (Maybe the rhinos as well?)
Based on current fossil evidence the earliest known primate (Teilhardina) lived around 55.8 million years ago. But other lines of enquiry (along with the general rareness of small-animal fossils from that far back) suggest that primates probably emerged ~85 million years ago, in the mid-Creataceous era — with evidence pointing toward an origin in what would now be considered to be a part of Asia (of course, the land masses of the world back then were connected in very different ways).
Since that relatively long ago origin in the tropical forests of a very different world, inhabited by very different forms of life, primates have spread out across a great many different environments and ecological niches.
Diversifying into the mountain-living gorillas, the shellfish-smashing Burmese macaques, the tree-sap-loving marmosets, the grass-eating geladas, the war-like chimps, the fishing-by-hand long-tailed macaques, the kills-bush-babies-with-sharpened-spears chimpanzees (they use stone hammers as well), the hot-spring loving snow monkeys (Japanese macaques), the jet-engine-loud howler monkeys, etc, of today.
And, also, into the pack-living (chimpanzees, many monkey species), the crowd/troop living (baboons, geladas), the nuclear-family-like (gorillas), the pair-bonded (gibbons), and the largely solitary (orangutangs/orangutans), social structures seen today.
Many of the species to which these highly-diverse behaviours and ways of living are embodied by are now considered to be endangered — largely owing to human activity over the last few thousand years. And, in particular, over the last few hundred years.
Below I've made a list of some of these now endangered animals — providing interesting facts, images, and anecdotes. Enjoy.

Bob Bryant has been named the new manager for the Delaware Coastal Airport in Georgetown.
Coastal Point • Submitted
Delaware Coastal Airport
Bryant named manager of Delaware Coastal Airport
By Susan Canfora | Staff Reporter
Susan Canfora
The Sussex County Council this week welcomed Robert Bryant as the new manager of the Delaware Coastal Airport.
The outgoing manager, Eric Littleton, who took over in October last year, left to return to NASA's Wallop's Flight Facility, where he had previously worked as unmanned aerial systems' airfield manager at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport.
Littleton replaced Jim Hickin, who left the role last October, after 12 years.
Bryant, whose first day on the job was Monday, July 27, managed the Salisbury Regional Airport for 23 years before leaving in December 2016 to accept a position with GCR Inc., a contractor with the Federal Aviation Administration.
He was hired by Sussex County after being selected from four candidates, County Administrator Todd Lawson told council members during their Tuesday, July 28, meeting.
"I'm very, very excited Bob Bryant will be our next airport manager," Lawson said, explaining that Bryant's aviation career spans four decades.
"He has been in the position, getting to know the personnel. He has worked with Jim Hicken, who returned temporarily during this transition. We are very excited to have someone of Bob's caliber take over," Lawson said.
"You are more than kind," Bryant told council members.
"Mr. President and members of the council, my name is Bob Bryant and I am the new airport manager. I'm thrilled and I am excited and I am happy to be associated with the Sussex County airport," he said.
"I bring to you 30 years in the field of airport management. My last 23 years were in the Salisbury Regional Airport, where we implemented over $60 million of capital improvements during that period," including land acquisition and runway extension.
Councilman Samuel Wilson, who is set to retire, asked Bryant to work on extending the Sussex County runway, and Bryant said it is an item in the master plan.
He talked about runway improvements at the Salisbury airport from his first day on the job and they were finally completed years later, he said.
"Runway extension takes a lot of planning. They take a little bit of time, but they can be done," he said.
The annual salary for airport manager is $80,000. Bryant's salary when he left Wicomico County was $90,299. At the time, Wicomico County advertised the position at an annual salary of $56,657 to $80,000.

Q: didn't notice with past simple or perfect I didn't notice he fell.
I didn't notice he'd fallen.
I didn't notice he stole my money.
I didn't notice he'd stolen my money.
what's the difference and what's more correct?

A: Suppose I am walking with my friend on a narrow track. I am in the lead, and my friend, who is behind me, falls over.
"I didn't notice he fell" could mean that I wasn't looking at him at the moment he fell. You could make that idea clearer by saying "I didn't notice him falling", but "I didn't notice (that) he fell" is not wrong.
"I didn't notice he'd fallen" would suggest that the falling happened earlier than the non-noticing. (He fell over, and several minutes later I was still walking on ahead, unaware.) It might also suggest the idea of falling and staying fallen. (For example, if he fell and hurt his leg, so he couldn't get up.)
So there's no completely right answer here, because it depends what you are trying to say. This is often true when using English tenses in combination. It's not about learning what's right or wrong. It's about learning how to put them together to communicate your ideas correctly.

Q: Why does Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) bother fighting if she can warp reality? Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) has the power of reality warping through chaos magic.
https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Scarlet_Witch
We've seen her warping reality in WandaVision:

 to create Westview, a new Vision and her kids.

After the events in WandaVision, she becomes more powerful and more aware of her powers/abilities; and studies the Darkhold as well.
In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, she uses her reality warping powers again:

 to change the appearance of her farm when Doctor Strange comes to talk to her and to incapacitate and/or kill some of the Illuminati members.

Why does she bother using brute force and psionic energy blasts if she can easily warp reality and get over with it, or incapacitate others easily? (in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as she becomes more aware of and has control over her reality warping powers at this point. She is also more powerful/knowledgeable by studying the Darkhold.)
Is there an in-universe explanation beside the cinematic effect/decision?
For example, does it take a toll on her to use the reality warping powers? Does she have some capacity and does she need to consume energy etc.? Do some Marvel characters have immunity to reality warping (like other magic users, Captain Marvel etc. based on her fights)? The question is based on MCU, however there can be some hints from the comics as well.

A: Not sure if this answers your question or not, but in an interview with CinemaBlend,  Elizabeth Olsen indicated that Wanda's powers were restricted while she was dreamwalking in the body of her universe 838 counterpart. The idea seems to be that she was limited to the power level of the alternate Wanda, who hadn't yet realised her full potential, the way universe 616 Wanda did in WandaVision.

CINEMABLEND: I do need to ask about Scarlet Witch's showdown with the Illuminati, because these are characters that audiences have been waiting to see in the MCU, on the big screen, for a long time, and you tear through 'em like tissue paper! So what was that experience like for you; what was it like holding onto the secret?
ELIZABETH OLSEN: Well, there was one point where I was like: "You guys are making this too hard for her." I didn't think it was easy enough. But we decided that the limitation is that she's not in her body. She is in a less-oiled version of her body, so it's not capable of doing as much as our universe's Wanda could do, because it's more about using the body like a bad car or something.

A knight was an important soldier who rode a horse in the King's army.
A man became a knight during a knighting ceremony. He would kneel down and his lord or the King would touch him lightly on each shoulder with their sword. This is called being knighted.
A knight was given the title Sir before his Christian name.
These days, men are still knighted by the Queen, but they do not have to be soldiers. She gives people this title to show that they have done good things for the country.
A squire was a knight in training.
He would learn how to ride and and how to fight. He would also learn good manners.
He would also have to work for a particular knight and learn by watching him.
A squire would serve dinner to his knight, look after his horse, polish his armour, run errands and do everything needed to get ready for battle.
You could become a squire from a young age.
Only boys from families who owned land could become squires and knights. They would have a coat of arms to show they were important. Peasants were not invited.
A tournament was a big festival when knights would get together and fight each other. This was good practice for battle.
Knights would joust. This meant that two of them rode towards each other on their horses very fast. They would try and knock each other off using long poles called lances.
Knights might also fight in single combat at a tournament.
Or in a tourney or melly with lots of knights in a pretend battle.
The tournament would be held by a rich lord or the King.
Peasants were allowed to watch and there was lots of other entertainment put on for them too.


Clare is definitely a great story teller / writer. She will place you in the center of a story and your mind will fly for sure. However, this book has two things I didn't love or maybe love to hate, whatever. First sexuality, this book is supposed to be for kids. She goes into gay, lesbian, trios, among other stuff. Second, part of her inspiration was the news today. If you don't read the headlines, it won't matter. If you do, like I do, there are topics like gay rights or the wall, just to mention a few and keep this short. When I read a book, I am expecting my mind to forget the real world and just go to this new location of new and exiting stories. This was not it for a while then it picks up the story and ends in a good way. The good thing is the book, builds up to a good conclusion.
The story is good it just takes a while to get to the good parts. I just hope the second book is a little more exciting.
Stephen King is definitely a good author. However, it takes too long to get to know the characters. He builds too much into the intro of the story to finally engage in a little piece of the main story. You have to know something about the novel to listen to it. The story has it's moments, but I can actually say in many occasions that I wanted to put this book down and never read it again. I just feel the introduction of this book is now eight chapters long and I have not seen the monster yet.
It is a slow start.
It takes a while to pick up the story. But is worth the wait. It has a good plot and the author got me, at the end with 'why lie'. Very good hook for the next book.


A lot of issues approach begin a weblog were previously discussed. We all will now focus on other methods in creating blog entries. It looks like an easy task although not all bloggers can create a full weblog entry within the get-go. Sometimes, a writing takes a day or two to whole.

2 . Recall a party. Example: "There was a time when… inch.
We are today using a completely different approach in giving our stories like the example mentioned above. Viewers reminisce along when the model mentioned is needed as advantages in your blog. Describe the event as vividly as you can as you may segue to the bulk of your website post.
2. Give appropriate information. Case: "Evidence implies that around 50% of those who all start smoking cigarettes in teen years start on to smoke cigarettes for fifteen to twenty years".
Record data in percentage or any type of form of statistical figure captures attention. Consequently we should give accurate info to attract readers inside our blog. We can also be realistic by sharing things that we have just accomplished like "I was able to offer 10 items of bracelets this kind of morning".

It's one of many easiest methods to begin a blog page entry because data can be located everywhere.
4. A passageway is a good blog entry. Case: "A trip of a 1, 000 miles begins with a single step. -Lao Tzu. inches.
Start your blog by giving a great excerpt from a well known person in a subtle manner. These kinds of words can easily evoke diverse feelings within a person. The personality comes out in seeking the quotations of the favorite copy writer. Do not forget to mention the name of the person where you acquired the offer from so your supporters may always start a research when they decide to accomplish that.
5. Focus on a follow-up. Example: "In my personal last front door… ".

Through this method, we could also www.insurance-search-engine.com show whatever present activity that we have by expressing "I morning presently signed up for a move class that can help me get rid of my weight".
Create what your center tells you. Become focused on this issue so you will never go beyond the topic. Writers can make usage of any ideas that they experience right in conveying their very own idea. You need to be natural in writing your blog to help you be able to entertain real skill. Beginning a blog post might not exactly come effortlessly for some writers. We hope that will help you with these types of techniques in posting your next blog entry.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Vanderbilt is looking for a new men's basketball coach for the first time since 1999.
The Commodores must replace Kevin Stallings, who was announced Sunday as Pittsburgh's new coach after 17 seasons with Vanderbilt.
Stallings had been the dean of Southeastern Conference coaches since taking over for the 1999-2000 season. He went 332-220, becoming Vanderbilt's winningest coach, but was 19-14 with a NCAA Tournament loss this season.


We started studying sea turtles this week, and we got to the part about how hard and awkward it is for them to maneuver on land. So, we tried to move like them. The kids had to put their hands on their shoulders and could only move using their arms.
Needless to say, they did not move very much or very far.
Then we watched several videos on youtube of sea turtles laying eggs, hatching and baby sea turtles.
I can't find the first one I had found which does such a great job of showing how hard it is for sea turtles to move, but this one was rather fascinating.
Then I told them how I got to go see a sea turtle farm with baby sea turtles, which led us to videos of baby sea turtles. We watched several, but I'll only share with you their favorite, what I've dubbed the "Bite my finger, are you sure it's not Uncle Sean" video.
Where would our lessons be without the wonders of youtube?
How'd I do on my goals?

Blood Orgy Of The She-Devils (1973)
Directed by Ted V. MikelsImage Entertainment DVD
Spiritual lightning has struck again. Walking home from work, I was seized by psychic thunderclaps, revealing themselves as screeching female voices: "Find the Dance Costumes By Eros! Find the Special Electronic Music By Carl Zittrer! Find Ted V. Mikels! Find SALVATION!"
I wasn't ready for salvation. But I was ready for something. Cryptic as they were, I was able to decipher the messages. And they said this:
Mara is the head priestess and Satanic bounty hunter of a witch cult. She sounds like a female Criswell. Women dance in loin cloths, sacrifice dudes with spears, and scream a lot. And that's it! Sure, a couple has an occasional seance. And there's also a brief, bizarro subplot involving a sweaty gangster and his goon. What about the guy who strangles a girl while cuckoo clocks chirp in the background? The flashback to witch burnings and dungeon torture? The sudden appearance of a witchcraft professor by the poolside? Ladies and germs, Ted Mikels delivers!
Ted V. Mikels is a castle-dweller, polygamist, and very independent filmmaker. With a personal life every bit as mysterious as his outrageous filmography, it's no wonder why Mikels' productions often turn out so fragmentary. As Mr. Mikels states in Re/Search's Incredibly Strange Films, "It takes your guts and your entrails and your soul to make a film. You have to be as obsessed as a religious fanatic." Give a consumed eccentric a canvas and he'll show you the world. Take this one, for instance. Following up 1969's Astro Zombies and 1972's The Corpse Grinders, Mikels presents Blood Orgy Of The She-Devils: 78 minutes of plotless, PG-rated psychedelic abstraction in the form of an occult soap opera.
Like any Mikels experience, you'll either be bored out of your mind or drunkenly spellbound. Due to Mikels' knack for delivering typical ideas in atypical ways, I usually end up falling for his horror films. The extraneous inserts, the randomly tripped out visuals, the charming super-imposed effects; Blood Orgy features all of these things, in addition to a neurotic synth score and wildly-decorated living rooms that give Year of the Yahoo a run for its money. It all makes for a harmless bit of off-center filmmaking, one that provides a solid peek into the world of a true nonconformist. Sometimes, it's just what the psychic voices ordered.
It takes a special kind of person to appreciate the cinema of Ted V. Mikels. Sometimes, I am that person. You might be, too. If you're into Ted's other horror romps, you'll probably eat up Blood Orgy Of The She-Devils. It's worth taking a chance.

Q: JSR 353 - Object Model : How to randomly access the object example.json
{
    "user": "John",
    "age": 25,
    "gender": "Male",
    "title-name": ["title1","title2","title3"],
    "address":
    {
        "permanent-address":
        {
            "city": "Ohio",
            "country": "US"
        },
        "temporary-address":
        {
            "city": "Chicago",
            "country": "US"
        }

    }
}

How to access the temporary-address directly without moving to address object. Is it possible to access randomly? Explain how the tree is constructed for the given json file.

A: I recommend you the usage of Jackson annotation for java.
This is a simple framework which allows you to convert Java object to / from JSON.
You will find toturiels here
https://www.mkyong.com/java/jackson-2-convert-java-object-to-from-json/
github project here:
https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-annotations
A short explenation is that you will map your Json object with a POJO (Plain Old Java Object)
Based on you example.json we would have :
public class Example {

@JsonProperty("user")
private String name;

@JsonProperty("age")
private int age;

@JsonProperty("gender")
private String gender;

@JsonProperty("title-name")
private ArrayList<String> titleNames;

@JsonProperty("address")
private Adresses adresses;
...

please note the Adresses class for the last field. Adresses is a POJO containing information about 2 addresses:
public class Addresses {

@JsonProperty("permanent-address")
private Address permanenentAddress;

@JsonProperty("temporary-address")
private Address temporaryAddress;
...

And finally your Address sub element maped with a POJO class containing city and contry information:
 public class Address {

@JsonProperty("city")
private String city;

@JsonProperty("country")
private String country;

Once you maped your example.json with an Example.java POJO using
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Example data = mapper.readValue(exampleJsonObject, Example.class);

There you are!! you can acess TemporaryAdress information or any information in one line ;)
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Example data = mapper.readValue(exampleJsonObject, Example.class);
Address address =  data.getAdresses().getTemporaryAdress();

Good luck

National Content of Motor Vehicles
The author intends to distinguish sharp differences in national origin of production and distribution of motor vehicles that exist b/w American Big Three producers (Chrysler, Ford and GM) and Japanese-owned manufacturers (Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Suzuki, Daihatsu and Isuzu). By distinguishing b/w these differences, a vehicle may be classified as domestic or foreign made. It provides a locational framework for understanding what an American automobile is.
Although few are 100% domestic or foreign, the percentage of national origin of any vehicle sold in the U. S. can be determined. Difference b/w domestic and foreign made Sorting domestic from foreign cars is a geographical study because the distinction comes from where the carmakers carry out different stages of production. The distinction was clear until the 1980's, before this time American cars were built in the U. S. by American companies, labor and parts. Foreign cars were built in foreign countries by foreign companies, labor and parts.
The appearance was also different. American cars exceeded 5 meters in length and had engines w/ displacements of 4 liters and 6 or 8 cylinders. Foreign automobiles were over a meter shorter than American models and contained 4 cylinder engines w/ only 2 liter displacements. In 1955, foreign vehicle manufacturers only held 1% of the American car market- Europeans accounting for most foreign sales. During 1970's, Japanese-owned companies overtook the Europeans as leading exporters of cars to the U. S. , but distinction b/w foreign and American cars remained well defined.
However, the appearances of both foreign and domestic vehicles changed as American manufacturers responded to demands for more fuel efficiency by shortening and decreasing the size similar to their Japanese competitors. At the same time, Japanese companies began to build larger, more luxurious cars to meet the demands of customers who wished to trade in the original smaller models. Other changes that reduced the difference b/w foreign and American cars included the interest that American firms took in importing Asian produced models to the U. S.
Also, Japanese firms began opening production facilities in North America, predominantly in the U. S. , in fear of having their American sales resticted by import Quotas. as domestic or foreign, but so do the components that are used to build them. Components can range from nuts and bolts to engines and transmissions. American and foreign companies manufacture their own parts and also purchase them from outside suppliers. Identifying national origin The easiest and most widely used indicator of domestic or foreign production is calculated by the EPA under the Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations.
According to these regulations, in order for a vehicle to be domestic, it must have the combined fuel economy in miles/gallon must exceed a specified average of 27. 5 miles/gallon (1993). The combined fuel economy of foreign vehicles must also exceed a specified average (which was not given but is lower than that of domesic). The EPA also considers a vehicle domestic if at least 75% of its parts come from the U. S. or Canada. The EPA also considers Mexican content as domestic under 1993 NAFTA.
Overall, government efforts to classify all vehicles into 2 groups have failed because no vehicle is entirely domestic or foreign made. Therefore, car companies and models are placed on a continuum from relatively low to high percentages of domestic content. Selling price All new automobiles sold in the U. S. have window stickers showing the suggested retail price. The country where each model is manufactured is required to be identified to inform the consumer. The retail price of a motor vehicle includes direct and indirect costs.
Direct costs that are factored into the selling price are costs of production- res. and dev. , purchase or production of components, the assembly of the components into the finished vehicle, and transport costs from the assembly plant to the dealer. These costs account for two-thirds of the sticker price, one half of this price goes to buying parts for assembly. The cost of developing a new model is measured in billions of dollars. Chrysler spent 1 billion dollars to develop large models such as Dodge Intrepid, Eagle Vision, the New Yorker and a half billion on the Neon.
Ford spent 6 billion on developing the Contour and the Mystique. GM spent 4 and a half on the Saturn. Before building a new model, a company first conducts research to identify potential buyer groups and demands. Next, individual parts must be designed and machines be built to make parts and assemble vehicles. Ofcourse, experiments are run on the finished prototype to test road use. Honda, Toyota and Nissan have design studios in southern Cal. and Ann Harbor, Mich. The purpose of these studios is to modify Japanese-engineered models to preferences and driving conditions of N. America.
Indirect costs account for another one-third of the sticker price and include- central administration, corpoprate profit, marketing, and dealer expenses. They are divided b/w the country where the manufacturer's headquarters are located and the country where the vehicle is sold. Executives and shareholders reside in the country where company originated, even if production facilities are not. Chrysler, Ford and GM are considered American companies because their corporate headquarters are in Detroit. Toyota and other Japanese companies sell in U. S. but have headquarters in Japan.
Marketing and advertising costs may account for as much as 5% of the total sticker price. The advertising budget averaged $875/vehicle in 1993. Regardless of where vehicles are manufactured, companies selling in the U. S. hire American advertising agencies and place ads on American TV and newspapers. Final Assembly The changing distribution of final assembly plants began in the 1960's with the constant growth of new models of automobiles. Companies closed their coastal assembly plants and converted interior ones to produce 1 or 2 specialized products to distribute throughout N.
America. Due to their fragility, finished vehicles are exppensive to transport. Consequently, assembly plants are located near customers and dealers. Demand for for the is essential to this strategy or it wouldnot make sense to spend 1 billion dollars on a final-assembly plant. Since the annual capacity of a typical plant is 200,000 vehicles, a manufacturer will dedicate a plant to one specific product. Two-thirds of vehicles sold in U. S. in 1992 were produced at American assembly plants, rest were made in other countries. The Big 3 assembled in the U. S. % of vehicles they sold there and one-third of vehicles sold in U. S. by foreign-owned manufacturers were assembled there also. Nine-tenths of the value of vehicles sold in the U. S. by the Big 3 had domesic content. Vehicles sold in the U. S. but assembled elsewhere came from 3 areas- Canada, Mexico and eastern hemisphere countries. In 1992, 13% of all cars and trucks sold in U. S. were assembled in Canada, 2% in Mexico and 17% in eastern hemisphere countries (Japan, Germany and South Korea). Honda is the first Asian carmaker to build an assembly plant in N.
America and operates 2 plants a short distance apart- Maryville and East Liberty Ohio and another in Alliston, Ontario. The reason for Honda's aggression to establish assembly plants overseas is because there is little chance for increasing sales in Japan. Honda sold twice as many cars in N. America than in Japan in 1992 and has become the leading exporter of cars in N. America. Two other large sellers are Toyota and Nissan. Toyota has a final-assembly plant in Georgetown Ky. , and Nissan has one in Smyrna, Tenn. where trucks are a large portion of the output.

My Life, Part 2: Hiroko Tasaka, 63, Hiroshima Maiden
Healed by husband's love, now describes memories of life in U.S. in memoir
Hiroko Tasaka began writing her memoir on an island in the Seto Inland Sea, a place colored by mandarin oranges. Five years have passed since she returned to her hometown from the United States after her husband, with whom she lived for 24 years, passed away. Her desire to reflect on the last half century of her life, during which she has carried scars from the atomic bombing, was the impetus to begin her memoir.
"The atomic bomb will continue to create difficulties for me until the day I die," Ms. Tasaka said. The skin that was grafted to her face in order to conceal her scars stretches tight, preventing her from opening her mouth fully. She vividly recalls the words which slipped from the lips of the late Masao Tsuzuki, a professor at the University of Tokyo, who examined her in the year following the atomic bombing: "This girl wasn't fated to die."
"Yes, it may be something like fate that has allowed me to live, rather than me surviving on my own," Ms. Tasaka said.
The image of the glittering body of an airplane flying in the blue sky above Hiroshima is imprinted in her mind's eye. She was near Tsurumi Bridge with girls of the same year from the former Hiroshima Girls' School of Commerce. They had been mobilized for the war effort, dismantling buildings to create a fire lane in the event of air raids. A voice called: "Here comes B-chan!" "B-chan" was the nickname the girls had given to the U.S. B-29 bomber. "Where is it, Ms. Tasaka?" The moment she heard her friend's voice, Ms. Tasaka glanced up from her work and the bomb exploded.
In the years that followed, she suffered cold stares and multiple surgeries on her face; in one six-month span, she underwent no less than 13 operations. However, her brave facing of such severe hardship spurred her to become independent and she began attending a dressmaking school located in a Hiroshima suburb. Then, ten years after the atomic bombing, she heard the news of a campaign to bring A-bombed women, dubbed "Hiroshima Maidens," to the United States for medical treatment.
"I had a huge desire to get better, if only a little," Ms. Tasaka said. "I had no room to hesitate because it was the United States." She traveled to New York, where the medical treatment was provided. As a living witness of the atomic bombing, the first time human beings had suffered such a fate, Ms. Tasaka and the other women from Hiroshima stunned people across the United States. Their struggles to overcome the hardships wrought by the bombing made a deep impression on Americans. A man named Harry Harris was one of them.
Mr. Harris, who was wounded on a battlefield in Europe, offered encouragement to Ms. Tasaka by visiting her and writing to her. It did not take long for his compassion to evolve into love. However, when he proposed, Ms. Tasaka turned him down. "I thought he was brash," she said. "Besides, I had these scars. I couldn't imagine marrying."
Ms. Tasaka returned to Japan a year and a half later and devoted herself to pursuing a career in dressmaking. But Harry Harris did not give up. Love letters continued to arrive. One week, she recalls, she even received three letters. She wrote a letter to again turn down his proposal--looking up every other word in a dictionary to do so--but his letters continued to come. Finally, when she was 33 years old, ten years after Mr. Harris had first proposed, Hiroko accepted on a summer day.
They began their life together in the city of Baltimore in the U.S. state of Maryland. Mr. Harris worked for a newspaper company, transporting newspapers, and Ms. Tasaka found a job in the women's clothing department of a department store. Once in a while, a customer would ask about the scars on her face. As she pinned a dress, Ms. Tasaka would share her experience and the customers responded with regret. She felt comfortable amid the open-minded nature of the American people and American society, where she could speak heart-to-heart with others.
Mr. Harris's love for her never changed. When the couple ran into his friends on the street, he invariably introduced her to them. These small gestures made her happy. Though her husband was always true to his word, their plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their wedding with a trip to Hawaii could not be realized. At the age of 68, he died during an operation.
"I decided to forgive the doctor," Ms. Tasaka said. "I'm sure Harry would be pleased. He was the one who taught me how precious real love is."
A bust of Mr. Harris is found in her white house, surrounded by groves of mandarin orange trees. She returned to Japan from the United States because she found it hard to live in a place filled with memories of her husband. Only until recently has she begun to feel easy enough to look back on the past. And so she has now finished writing about her A-bomb experience for her memoir.
The other day, a letter came from an acquaintance telling her about an upcoming trip to the United States. The familiar names of places reminded her of her husband's smile. She wrote back to the person with her heart full of feeling: "Please say hello to Baltimore for me."
Norman Cousins, an American journalist, proposed that young women from Hiroshima, who had been scarred by the atomic bombing, be brought to the United States to receive medical treatment there. In 1955, Japanese and American doctors performed a succession of surgeries. At Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, 25 girls underwent orthopedic treatment.

Iyanna Mayweather, 22, has been sentenced to six years probation after she plead guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (per Click2Houston). Mayweather, the daughter of famed boxer Floyd Mayweather, received this sentence as part of a plea deal with prosecutors in Harris County, TX.
Mayweather was arrested in April, 2020 after a stabbing took place at the home of rapper Kentrell DeSean Gaulden (also known as NBA YoungBoy). Mayweather has a child with Gaulden. The stabbing victim was a 35-year-old woman who also has a child with Gaulden.
The victim suffered non-life threatening injuries and received hospital treatment for multiple lacerations on her arm.
TMZ reported that the incident occurred when Mayweather went to Gaulden's house to confront the victim and tell her she was Gaulden's fiance. In the kitchen of that home, Mayweather grabbed two knives which she used to attack the victim.
Gaulden was once charged with attempted murder. In 2017 he received a suspended 10-year prison term for pleading guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated assault with a firearm. Since then he has also been accused of assault, battery and kidnapping.

Q: Passing JSON to EXE file yields "newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value" I have an exe file which gets started with a parameter by another method.
My exe file's main method is in my program class which looks like this:
static void Main(String[] args)
    {

        Application.Run(new PAMain(args[0])); //args[0] is the parameter

    }

I get the sent parameter by calling args[0], which is the JSON data.
Notice the other class new PAMain where I pass this args[0] to its constructor which looks like this:
    public PAMain(string json)
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        SetJsonData(json);

    }

The SetJsonData() method deserializes the json string, which is where the error happens, theSetJsonData() method looks like this:
string jsonData;
private AsanaRootData root = new AsanaRootData();

public string SetJsonData(string json)
{
   this.jsonData = json;

   root = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AsanaRootData>(jsonData);  //The error happens here

   return json;
}

The error happens at "root =...".
The error I get is newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value ... at line ...
If I call the SetJsonData() method on the original JSON data and not the exe passed one, everything works. So I think that the error itself is that maybe after passing the JSON data to the exe file and calling args[0] the data is not JSON anymore?
Here is the error popup in my GUI:

The error happens after assignee_status: at the symbol l in the word later

A: The problem was escaping, I solved it by starting the exe file up this way instead
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo
{
   Arguments = "\"" + jsonData.Replace("\"", "\\\"") + "\"",
   FileName = "path"
};

Process.Start(info);

I found it here: How do I start a .exe with a json string as parameter correctly?

Grace Mugabe decision welcomed – FW de Klerk Foundation
Megan Dick |
Organisation says govt failed to protect its own citizen and undermined the Constitution
Grace Mugabe decision welcomed
The FW de Klerk Foundation welcomes yesterday's decision involving former Zimbabwean first lady, Dr Grace Mugabe, which was handed down by the Gauteng High Court. It is of concern that the decision makes apparent that the government of South Africa lacked the authority to either confer or grant immunity to Mugabe, in a bid to protect her against the allegations of wrongdoing. In doing so, the South African Government failed to protect its own citizen and further undermined the Constitution in unlawfully granting immunity to Mugabe.
As was the case in the Al Bashir matter, the South African government has shown that it lacks the political will and inclination to abide by the Rule of Law when faced with thorny political questions. This failure by the government to abide by the spirit and letter of its own laws, while cynically circumventing due process, chips away at South Africa's foundational values. Yet again, the Judiciary finds itself having to adjudicate a matter in which the Executive has failed in its constitutional obligations.
It remains to be seen whether the relevant South African authorities will, on the strength of the decision, approach their Zimbabwean counterparts. If she is to stand trial, it would become necessary to extradite the former first lady for the allegations of assault which Ms Gabriella Engels levelled against her.

New Bachelor in Economics
Former Bachelor in Economics and Management
Startseite // Studiengänge // FDEF // Bachelor in Economics
Bachelor in Economics
Since 2005, the Bachelor en Sciences Economiques et de Gestion (BASEG) has undergone a certain number of modifications. The current reform aims to respond to changes in (i) the content of economics courses, (ii) the needs of Bachelor holders in order to access master's programmes, and (iii) the economic environment.
First, with regard to the content, the major change is the introduction of a strong finance and management component. Without aiming for an early specialization, the new Bachelor's degree will offer students the opportunity to learn about finance or certain aspects of management, with the introduction of two tracks (Finance / Strategy and Innovation) in the last semester of the program.
Second, concerning the name, the program has been renamed "Bachelor en Sciences Economiques" which will allow better differentiating from the "Bachelor en Gestion" and thus reflecting much more accurately the content and purpose of the program.
The reform of the Bachelor en Sciences Economiques will come into force in 2021/22 with the opening of the first year of the new program.
The second and third years of the new program will open in 2022/23 and 2023/24 respectively.
Course aims
The Bachelor en Sciences Économiques is a three-year degree course (1st stage of the new European system of university education). It aims at the acquisition of fundamental knowledge in economics based on a solid quantitative methodological base.
The course also includes related and complementary disciplines, including politics, history, law, geography, with the aim of enhancing the students awareness of different aspects of current economic issues.
The three years (six semesters) of the Bachelor course are organised by the University of Luxembourg.
A mandatory mobility period of a minimum of one semester at a university abroad is required by the Law on the establishment of the University of Luxembourg. For students who start their studies at the University of Luxembourg, this mobility must take place in the 3rd, 4th or 5th semester. To facilitate mobility, the University has concluded agreements with host universities.
+d'infos (lien vers rubrique mobilité du menu)
Educational & pedagogical profile of the Bachelor en sciences économiques
The majority of the teaching is organized in the form of lectures, some of which are accompanied by tutorials. In order to achieve optimum training for students, certain modules, especially in the first year of the program (e.g. Mathematics, Statistics), are duplicated and taught in small groups.
A certain number of tutoring sessions are provided by doctoral students, for quantitative subjects in the first year of the program
The fifth semester includes an elective module consisting of specialized courses in law, economics and management.
In the sixth semester 2 tracks will be offered to students :
2. Strategy and Innovation
The choice between one or the other track will allow them to be introduced at the undergraduate level to disciplines which will be developed at master's level and thus facilitate their transition to master's degrees in finance, economics or management.
The Bachelor in Sciences Economiques is an academic and generalist program, designed to prepare its graduates to pursue studies, primarily in a Master's degree, in the field of economics, finance or management, at the University of Luxembourg or abroad.
It can also be the gateway to business schools or master's degrees in specialties other than those mainly taught, such as politics or economic law, as well as providing access to specialized professional activities in the various banking segments, corporate management as well as national, regional and local government offices.
Access to the first year of a Bachelor's degree is subject to a selection procedure. The number of students is limited to 180. According to Art. 32 of the Universities Act, access to Bachelor's degree program is possible for the following persons:
Holder of a Luxembourg secondary school diploma (Classique or Technique)
Holder of a diploma recognized as equivalent by the Ministry of National Education
The selection is made on the basis of the student's results for the current and previous year (last 3 semesters or last 5 terms), plus a motivation letter (preferably in English).

Poker is filled with all types of colorful characters – from stone-faced Chris "Jesus" Ferguson to always blabbering, often out-of-line, Tony G; from analyzing Dan Harrington to seemingly random-playing Mike Matusow.
What's interesting is that the best players always use their personalities as an asset in their game. They adjust their playing styles based on how they are as human beings. A good poker player can simply not try to be someone he's not. There's nothing wrong or right here. Some people gain information by coffee-housing and trying to psyche out opponents while others would give away the strength of their hands just by opening their mouths.
In this blog, we'll give you a glimpse into the world of professional poker and analyze the most unique players on the circuit – the silent as well as the loud ones.


Aston University is home to the Graduate Advantage scheme.
Part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund, the scheme offers paid graduate-level employment within SMEs in the West Midlands. A consortium of universities and university colleges support the scheme. Graduates come from a wide range of degree disciplines so offer excellent opportunities for businesses to fulfil internships.
Over the past 12 months, Flomatik has needed recruitment support to fill their growing teams.
Successful graduates need to have a level of maturity and be able to adapt to new environments. Placed in Flomatik's GIS mapping department, a graduate from the scheme buddied up with an experienced GIS Operator. Here, the recruit began training in the integral process of planning and designing networks for customers such as Virgin Media and Vodafone. Showing enthusiasm to both impress and learn led to this graduate being offered a permanent position at Flomatik.
Most of all, recruiting graduates has helped Flomatik build a diverse, well balanced team.

Joannis Karsanidis oder Ioannis Karsanidis (, * 25. Juni 1993 in Nürnberg) ist ein ehemaliger deutsch-griechischer Fußballspieler. Er wurde meist im zentralen Mittelfeld eingesetzt.

Karriere
Nach seinen Jugendstationen DTV Diespeck, SpVgg Greuther Fürth, SV Memmelsdorf und Würzburger FV stieg Joannis Karsanidis 2012 in die erste Mannschaft des Würzburger FV auf. Am 7. April 2012 debütierte er bei dem 4:2-Sieg beim TSV 1860 Rosenheim, als er in der 88. Minute eingewechselt wurde. Aufgrund der Umstrukturierung der Regionalliga qualifizierte sich Karsanidis und seine Mannschaft für die Aufstiegsrunde zur Regionalliga Bayern. Dort trafen sie in der ersten Runde auf die SpVgg Selbitz und stieg durch einen 3:0-Auswärtssieg und einen 3:1-Heimsieg in die nächste Runde auf. Dort musste man sich dem SV Heimstetten auf Grund der Auswärtstorregel in der Endabrechnung mit 2:2 geschlagen geben. Seinen ersten und einzigen Treffer für den FV erzielte Karsanidis am 20. April 2013 beim 4:0-Sieg gegen die SpVgg Bayreuth. In der 52. Minute erzielte er das zwischenzeitliche 3:0.

Zur Saison 2013/14 verließ Joannis Karsanidis den Würzburger FV in Richtung des Stadtrivalen Würzburger Kickers, welche zu dieser Zeit in der Regionalliga Bayern spielten. Sein Debüt für das neue Team gab er am 17. Juli 2013 bei der 4:2-Niederlage gegen die zweite Mannschaft vom FC Bayern München. Er wurde in der 68. Minute für Christopher Bieber eingewechselt. Sein Premierentor konnte Karsanidis bei der Partie gegen Viktoria Aschaffenburg am 9. Mai 2014 bejubeln, als er in der 17. Minute die 1:0-Führung erzielte. Das Spiel endete 2:1 aus der Sicht der Würzburger. Die erste Hälfte der darauffolgenden Saison verpasste er aufgrund eines Kreuzbandrisses und die Saison konnten die Würzburger Kickers als Meister in der Regionalliga Bayern beenden. Nach einem 1:0-Sieg im Hinspiel und einer 0:1-Niederlage nach 90 bzw. 120 Minuten musste das Elfmeterschießen entscheiden, in welchen man sich mit 6:5 durchsetzen konnte.

Dadurch stieg die Mannschaft um Joannis Karsanidis in die 3. Liga auf und Karsanidis gab am 25. Juli 2015 beim torlosen Unentschieden gegen den SV Wehen Wiesbaden sein Debüt in der neuen Liga unter Trainer Bernd Hollerbach. Sein erstes 3.-Liga-Tor erzielte er am 17. Dezember 2015 bei der 1:2-Niederlage bei Dynamo Dresden. Er erzielte in der 37. Minute den zwischenzeitlichen 1:1-Ausgleich. Mit insgesamt 33 Einsätzen und zwei Toren während der Drittligasaison. trug er als Stammspieler der Kickers zum direkten Durchmarsch in Richtung 2. Bundesliga bei, einen Erfolg der erst durch die Relegationsspiele gegen den MSV Duisburg besiegelt wurde. In der Zweitligaspielzeit 2016/17 kam Karsanidis auf lediglich fünf Einsätze und stieg am Ende mit den Kickers wieder in die dritte Liga ab.

Am Ende der Saison 2017/18 verließ Joannis Karsanidis Würzburg und schloss sich dem soeben aus der 3. Liga in die Regionalliga Nordost abgestiegenen Chemnitzer FC an. In seiner ersten Saison kam er dort regelmäßig zum Einsatz, erreichte mit der Mannschaft den direkten Wiederaufstieg in die 3. Liga und gewann zudem den Sächsischen Landespokal. In der Vorbereitung auf die folgende Spielzeit zog sich Karsanidis jedoch erneut einen Kreuzbandriss zu und fiel daraufhin die komplette Saison aus. Nur kurze Zeit nach seinem Comeback ein Jahr später erlitt er im September 2020 eine erneuten Riss des Kreuzbands sowie einen Meniskusriss. Karsanidis verkündete daraufhin, mit Auslaufen seines Vertrags im Sommer 2021 seine Karriere als Profispieler zu beenden.

LED slim panels, where do you think I should buy it, from Amazon, or a local shop near my house.
I am planning to provide evening light to my backyard, I am planning to buy LED slim panelhttps://www.mrlighting.com/led-slim-panels-1063, to serve this purpose. I like the sleekness of the design, and it reminds me of the movie Tron: Legacy. My concern is the reliability of the product, I mean getting exposed to the harsh weather 24*7, will it affect, the performance of the product. I am not looking to buy the product, if it lacks reliability and that is why I have come to you, to get your opinion. Have you guys, tried installing the same in your backyard, how reliable is it. I am also particular that I need clear white light and not the yellow light, especially with kids, I do not want to compromise on their health. Do you guys have any brands that you think is worth the try. I am at the moment looking for options and my budget is $150 max for a piece. I am hoping to buy it from Amazon, but, I am told, the quality of the product is not up to the mark, I clearly do not want that. On my buddy's suggestion, I have short listed a store near my house, but I am still interested in giving Amazon a chance. I mean, I never had a bad experience with Amazon before, all my products, that I bought from Amazon, was satisfactory, and it always did, what it promised. So I want to know, if you guys, had a bad experience with Amazon. How was the quality. "
Re: LED slim panels, where do you think I should buy it, from Amazon, or a local shop near my house.
Well the link you supplied above are for interior lights. These get mounted so they are flush with your ceilings. These lights are not rated for exterior use.
Exterior lights have weatherproof housings that resists the elements of the outdoors, and in the case of LED lights, may have more durable electronic drivers that can withstand a greater temperature range.
Amazon is great for many things that may be hard or impossible to find locally, but honestly, for something like lights I actually prefer to shop locally... I like to see what I'm buying, and have the ability to easily return something that doesn't work out. Plus, no shipping fees and you're supporting the local economy. That's my take.
I agree with Aaron on this one. I tried the amazon route, and they looked awesome, and worked great, for like 2 months, then I wasted my money once they started to die, one by one. I'd recommend going to an electrical supplier and look through their catalog. They won't be that much more if more even, than a quality amazon fixture, and they will stand behind their product as they deal with professionals in their day to day.
Buy more save more also, as they normally deal with bulk orders. If you are in Canada, see if you have a Graybar Canada in your area (usually under a franchise name) or in NA, Guillevin Intl. Without contractors pricing you are getting at minimum 10% savings over big box stores, for the step up of what they sell on the shelf.
What you are looking at do not have replaceable bulbs, but the whole housing, so you have to keep that in mind, so reliability is key, as it'll be a PITA to swap out later.

Kitaab Review: City Adrift: It wasn't like in the movies
Oindrila Mukherjee reviews City Adrift: A Short Biography of Bombay by Naresh Fernandes (Aleph Books, 2013)
"Bombay's aptitude for aggregation can also be tasted in the snacks sold on its footpaths: Chinese bhel, Schezwan idlis and cheese dosas are made with ingredients (blended together with a large dollop of enterprise) that share the skillet only in this city."
If there is a single city in India that has most accurately served the function of the proverbial melting pot then it has to be Bombay. In addition to "snacks and slang," as Fernandes points out in his book, the city has historically proved to be an amalgamation of people from different cultures, religions, occupations, and classes. Bombay has always attracted immigrants in search of a better life and, in the past, acted as a symbol of tolerance and cosmopolitanism, not least as portrayed in the fabled cinema it produces. However, throughout much of this book the author laments the recent decline in these values, a decline that corresponds with growing signs of "progress." He attributes much of the growing divisions between not only the rich and poor but also between religious communities, to the rise of the Shiv Sena and "ad hoc urbanism."

Lysogene is developing therapies for children with central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Our gene therapy technology restores metabolic function by enabling cells to independently produce vital proteins.
Best-in-class technology platform
Direct-to-CNS delivery technology
Lysogene uses a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) that specifically targets neural cells and is administered directly into the brain or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Single procedure
Our gene therapy procedure is safe and well-established. Administration occurs during a single medical procedure. The injection locations are specific to each of the diseases.
Range of therapeutic applications
This technology platform is applicable to other central nervous system diseases. Our goal is to expand our therapeutic capabilities into next-generation gene therapy technologies.
Most efficient Direct-to-CNS delivery technology
Lysogene uses a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) that specifically targets neural cells and is administered directly into the brain or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This direct-to-CNS approach has several advantages. The therapy does not have to cross the blood-brain-barrier, and as a consequence more of the drug reaches the intended site of action. Relatively low doses can therefore be used, helping reduce local and systemic side-effects. Finally, because the therapy is delivered directly to the CNS, even patients with pre-existing immunity to the AAV capsid, who cannot be treated by systemically administered AAV, can benefit from the treatment.
In the case of neuronopathic LSDs, correcting only a small subset of neural cells using gene therapy may be sufficient to reduce storage of cells across much larger regions of the CNS. That's because some lysosomal enzymes can be secreted from the cells in which they are produced and be taken up and used by other neighboring cells.
Lysogene's gene therapy procedure is safe and well-established. Administration occurs during a single medical procedure. The injection locations are specific to each of the diseases we target.
For MPS IIIA, a disease that primarily affects the brain, our therapeutic candidate LYS-SAF302 is administered by direct intracerebral infusion. For GM1 gangliosidosis, affecting both the brain and the spinal cord, our therapeutic candidate LYS-GM101 is administered via intra-cisternal injection into the cerebrospinal fluid.
This technology platform is applicable to other central nervous system diseases. Lysogene's goal is to expand our therapeutic capabilities into next-generation gene therapy technologies to help and heal those affected by rare diseases.
