Backbone engages in no magic, is very readable, and doesn't try to do too much for you.
Your model is where you store your data. If you have an app for tracking sharks in the ocean, you might have a Shark model which would store the location and name of a shark.
Models fire off events when they change. If your shark eats a swimmer and gains 10 notoriety points, it will fire an event to that effect.
A view in Backbone is a region on the page into which Backbone will output some data. A view might be a form, or a map of sharks in the sea. Your page will be built up of one or more views.
Views can listen to model events and redraw themselves when the model they are attached to changes.
A Backbone collection is an array of models. If you have 100 sharks, you would store those in a collection. If you tag a new shark, you might add it to the collection.
Collections can also fire events. A view can listen to a collection.
A library is a set of functions and objects which you make use of in your code.
A framework wires your code together and calls it for you.
You can use any of the Backbone components in any way you see fit, but it's up to you write the wiring code.
Everyone's favourite DOM mainpulation tool. Choose 1.x if you want to support legacy browsers. Choose 2.x if you want a smaller faster codebase.
If you serve from a CDN you will need to be connected to the internet to work on your site.
Extend is an underscore function that simply creates a new object using the provided object as a prototype.
A Backbone View is an object which controls a part of your web page. It's linked to a DOM node which can either be on the page, or a fragment, not connected to the page.
Your backbone view will typically have a render method which will redraw the view. You can call this method yourself, or you can set up listeners to track a model and call render when it changes.
This sets up a SharkTankView prototype, effectively a class which you can inherit from to create SharkTankView objects. The render function simply uses jQuery to append the string 'Sharks!' to the $el object, which is a jQuery object. The initialize function simply calls render.
The el attribute of your view is the DOM node your view attaches to. You specify this when you create the view, or you can specify it in the view prototype. If you don't specify el, it will be set for you as an empty div.
The $el attribute of your view is a jQuery version of your el. This is created for you by Backbone.
Packing your render methods full of jQuery rapidly becomes yawnsome. Templates are a way of helping you to write less HTML generation code by compiling strings.
Backbone does not come with a templating language of it's own, but is designed to work well with underscore templates.
Note that we don't need to call the template. If this.$el.html receives a function instead of a string, it will call the function for us.
// generates the string "
Hello Wavy Davey!
"
You need to make sure you pass through all attributes or you will get an error.
We compose the template into our HTML page, then we just use jQuery to pull it out as a string which we can then pass to _.template.
We compose the template into our HTML page, then we use jQuery to pull it out as a string.
The convention is to put the template in a script tag with type="text/template". Content between script tags will not be rendered to the page, but can still be accessed using jQuery.
We then pull this content as a string using a simple jQuery selector, and store it as a template function in the tankTemplate attribute.
Then in our render function we can simply call the template, passing in any expected values.
The Backbone sample in MVCTodo gives a very clear demo of how to build a simple todo app.


While some injuries will be easy to diagnose, either by seeing or feeling the injured area, others may be more difficult. More obvious injuries include dislocations and superficial injuries such as cuts and grazes. More complex injuries such as soft tissue damage, some fractures and overuse injuries; these injuries may have no visible symptoms and will often require an examination. All patients with a suspected injury should be examined thoroughly by a professional; many will also need tests which may include x-rays, CT or MRI scans.
During the examination a doctor will also ask questions relating to the patient's medical history; this will help to identify any underlying issues or possible causes of the injury and ensure the right diagnosis is made. Following an initial diagnosis the patient may be referred to a specialist in order to ensure the diagnosis is correct; subsequently, the specialist will draw-up a suitable care pathway for the patient.

Paul's Joy in Prison
11/12/2021 Beth 1 Comment
Paul is one of the greatest disciples of Christ that ever lived. Once he was saved, he traveled and learned in Christ's presence. After Christ ascended, he dedicated every moment of the rest of his life to sharing the Good News. However, he spent the last years of his life in a miserable Roman prison. Even through this adversity, he found joy and wrote almost one half of the New Testament! We can learn to find joy in all circumstances by studying Paul's words.
Paul had a difficult journey the last years of his life. He traveled from town to town, spreading the news of the Gospel. Not everyone was happy to see him. In his letter to the Corinthians, he explains that he "worked much harder… been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again" (2 Corinthians 11:23) After all of this, he finally made it to Rome, only to be thrown in prison! Yet he still spread the Gospel and found joy in these terrible circumstances. (2 Corinthians 12:10)
"…for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties."
He wrote Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon… ALL FROM PRISON. That is almost HALF the New Testament and he wrote it all during one of the most difficult times in his life!
He wrote 1 & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, AND 1&2 Timothy… ALL FROM PRISON. That is almost HALF the New Testament and he wrote it all during one of the most difficult times in his life!
In Paul's letters of the Bible, he effused joy and contentment in his prison life. He was thankful and grateful for any and all assistance, but said not to despair, but to be joyful in the Lord. How did he do it?? And how can we learn to have the same joy in our lives?
Hope during Trials
Paul begins all of his letters in prayer. For example, he opens Philippians saying "In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now" (Philippians 1:4-5)Prayer is the key to keeping a relationship of communication with the Lord. Prayer not only for yourself, but for others that need His blessing as well. Prayer leads to being thankful and being thankful leads to joy.
He remembered his True Purpose
No matter what we may face, adversity, persecution, affliction, hardship, or disaster, the Lord has a plan for us. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11) Even if it doesn't seem like it at the time, God has a future for you. That future will always include a way to grow in faith and bring glory to Him. That is our true purpose on this Earth. "Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." (Isaiah 43:7)
Paul never planned on going to prison, and yet he found a way to fulfill his purpose while there. He was chained to a different guard every day. Instead of being upset that he was chained to some random person, he saw it as an opportunity to pour out his best sermons with a captive audience! He writes of this opportunity in Philippians: "I want you to know, beloved, that was has happened to me has actually helped to spread the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to everyone else that my imprisonment is for Christ… having been made confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, dare to speak the word with greater boldness and without fear." (Philippians 1: 12-14)
God is the true source of hope
Stark contrast between Paul's terrible circumstances and his intense hope is very evident in the book of Philippians. The word "joy" appears 16 times in this short letter. He explains that "I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance" (Philippians 1:19)
How can he be so confident? The Bible tells us that no matter how scary our current situation, God's will shall be done. You can face the worst and come out the best. Just like Paul, faith and trust in the Lord, and his plan, can get you through any circumstances. Paul wrote "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation." (Philippians 4:12)
He remained humble
While he became the apostle of spiritual joy, Paul never took the credit. He never boasted. He didn't even overcome through his own willpower. He attributed his spiritual contentment to its true source, Jesus Christ. He explains in Philippians 4:13 that it was the power of Christ that helped him overcome.
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength"
While it may be easier for us to rely on ourselves and take the credit for the blessings in our lives, God is the true reason for the good in our lives. Whether he gives you the dream to build your own company or sends a friend in a time of need, God will always be there to provide for you!
May the Lord continue to bless you and provide for your needs. May you come to rely on Him in faith and understanding,

And during this time, if you work with Hollywood FX, you won't be able to use a number of plugins included in Hollywood FX. So I suggest you bypass these bugs by tinkering with Easy_FX so as to get full use of the Warps and 3D Text effects. It must still be noted that when the Hollywood FX plugin is called from Studio, these annoyances are less important and cause fewer crashes.
I will not talk about bugs that don't cause crashes. I will content myself to talk to you about the tree for the default album.
When you open Hollywood FX, this is what you can see at the bottom of the default album tree (middle panel of the interface).
As you can see, if you click a group effect (marked in red).
the icons are missing in the details pane on the right. But its not being blocked.
IF you use Hollywood FX in standalone mode or just call it from Studio, there are three places where it is dangerous to click, at the risk of possibly crashing Easy_FX.exe or Studio.
On the "Plugins" icon of the Warps group.
On the "Plugins" sub-folder of the Warps group.
On the icon and the "Plugins" subfolder of the 3D Text group.
Depending on the configuration, clicking the subfolders may shut down Hollywood FX or Studio and you won't be able to access Warps plugins or 3D Text.
Therefore, I propose to adapt your Easy_FX so as to recover these inaccessible plugins.
Select the Warps group then right click and select New Folder.
Rename the new folder to your liking.
Do the same in the 3D Text group.
Your Warps group might look something like this.
Your 3D Text group might look something like this.
It is not possible to recover the missing plugins but it is possible to recover default pre-configured effects of missing plugins. This is what we will do. To retrieve these default pre-configured effects, download the RepareEasy_FX.ZIP file, in the "Associated File(s)" section at the bottom of this tutorial (right click + Save Target as ... to download the file). Then unzip the zip file and unzip HFZ file. It will install itself in the "Perso" folder in Hollywood FX (Easy_FX.exe).
Double click the RepareEasy_FX icon.
Check that the effect tree has been updated as shown on the right.
Select your new Warps subfolder.
Drag them, one by one, to the detail area of the album tree.
Repeat the same procedure for the 3D Text plugin.
After completing these operations, your album should look like the screenshot on the right.
I am having a similar problem.I even added a Perso folder to the Fx tree so it looks like the tutorial.I have Win 10 and it does not have a "save target as", instead the only similar command is "save link as". This results in a 7KB download which is already extracted consisting of "Icon RepareEasy_FX 12/27/2015 4:49 Hollywood FX Co... 7KB"
It will not install even when I open it with the InstallHFZ app.. I get the same error message napshare reported. I read the tuto and the only part that seemed to apply was the part on making sure the correct app. was being used to open the file. What am I missing?
The HFZ associated file was good but the extension is not supported by our file manager. I transformed the HFZ file in ZIP file and now it should be good.
Is this bug reported by Corel / Pinnacle if not I need this message still got through knows immediately through the site all of Studio UT E driver: stand.
Can I run the Batch for W10 or should I change it to edit.
Thank you Le Papy, once I downloaded the new zip file, following the tutorial, all works fine now.
@ casper01 : Sorry I don't understand your request. There is no need to use a batch program.

Ма́лый ку́ду () — африканская антилопа.

Внешность
Самцы малого куду значительно крупнее самок и достигают веса до 100 кг при росте в холке около 1 м. Довольно крупные, завинченные рога, насчитывающие до 75 см, имеются только у самцов. Самки весят лишь 60 кг. Шерсть у обоих полов серо-бурая и покрыта пятнадцатью тонкими белыми полосками. На шее находятся два чётких белых пятна. Ноги коричневые с лёгким оранжевым оттенком. Спасаясь бегством, малый куду задирает свой короткий хвост, показывая его белую нижнюю сторону.

Распространение
В отличие от большого куду, встречающегося по всей Африке, малый куду обитает на относительно небольшой территории, включающей части Танзании, Кении, Эфиопии и Сомали. В 1967 году один экземпляр был неожиданно найден в совсем другом месте, а именно в Йемене на Аравийском полуострове. С тех пор учащаются свидетельства о том, что эти животные обитают и в Саудовской Аравии, однако по всей видимости являются там крайне редкими или уже вымершими. Невозможно с уверенностью сказать, является ли Аравийский полуостров естественным ареалом малого куду или же он был занесён туда человеком.

Сферой обитания этой антилопы являются акациевые рощи и густые заросли. По оценке МСОП малый куду зависит от защитных мер со стороны человека.

Поведение
Малый куду почти не мигрирует. Самки живут в небольших группах от четырёх до десяти особей; холостяцкие группы образуют также молодые самцы. Взрослые самцы живут в одиночку и встречаются с самками только в брачный период. Малые куду активны прежде всего в ночное время, но могут бодрствовать и днём, если нет большой жары. В пищу употребляют главным образом листья, но не брезгуют и травами.

Подвиды
Различают 2 подвида малого куду (Tragelaphus imberbis):
 T. i. imberbis — Северный малый куду, равнины восточно-центральной Эфиопии, северо-запада Сомали;
 T. i. australis — Южный малый куду, равнины южной Эфиопии, Сомали, крайнего юго-востока Судана, крайнего северо-востока Уганды, северной, центральной и южной Кении, восточной Танзании.

Denver SSDI Claims
Filing a claim for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits could prove to be stressful. Those who apply for benefits suffer from disabilities that prevent them from working to support themselves and their families. SSDI income benefits could make a huge difference in a family's ability to function after suffering a setback.
Unfortunately, SSDI claims are often denied not just once, but multiple times. However, there are numerous opportunities for reconsideration or appeal of an SSDI claim. Persistence often pays off when it comes to Denver SSDI claims. Call today and set up a consultation with a seasoned SSDI lawyer.
Filing a Claim for SSDI
The SSDI program is operated by the Social Security Administration (SSA), although some claims are processed in conjunction with state agencies. To file a claim, an applicant may schedule an appointment to meet with the agency at the field office in Denver or to apply by telephone. Applicants may also file online through the SSA website.
At the time of filing, the applicant should be prepared to submit information such as:
Summaries of job duties and employment experience
W-2 forms or tax returns
Medical records from doctors, hospitals, and therapists
Contact information for medical caregivers
Information regarding medication
Medical test results
The agency would need to receive enough information to demonstrate that the applicant meets the criteria to be considered disabled.
Satisfying Disability Criteria
Applicants must show that they are unable to perform previous work and unable to adapt to new employment due to their medical condition. Furthermore, they must show that the condition causing their disability is expected to last for at least a year or to result in death.
Work Criteria
Applicants must also satisfy work requirements. They must have earned sufficient work credits to qualify, and approximately half of the work credits must have been earned within recent years. The precise requirements vary depending on the age of the applicant at the time of becoming disabled.
The Progress of Denver SSDI Claims
After a worker submits a claim for SSDI benefits, agency staff members review the information and may contact medical providers for further details. If the reviewing staff determines that the application does not demonstrate the qualifications needed to receive benefits, they may deny the application. The applicant may then ask for a reconsideration by different staff members.
If the reconsideration results in a denial, the applicant may request a hearing before an administrative law judge. The judges who conduct hearings on Denver SSDI claims may be located in Denver or may hear the case remotely via teleconference. Many judges do not apply the agency standards as strictly as SSA staff that made the initial decision. This means that applicants who were denied SSDI benefits at first may be granted benefits after the judge reviews their case.
SSDI claims denied after a hearing may be appealed for review by the SSA Appeals Council. If the Council declines to review the case or denies the claim, the applicant may continue to appeal by filing a lawsuit in federal district court.
Get Help with Denver SSDI Claims
The claims process for SSDI is complex. Because SSA is so strict about how an applicant demonstrates eligibility for benefits, many applicants choose to work with an experienced SSDI attorney when filing a claim or appealing a denial.
Denver SSDI claims may proceed through numerous stages before the applicant is finally awarded benefits. Claims that are backed by well-prepared evidence, including statements from doctors and other experts familiar with disability standards, often stand a greater chance of receiving a successful decision.

Sex-determining Region Y in Mammals
The Sex-determining Region Y (Sry in mammals but SRY in humans) is a gene found on Y chromosomes that leads to the development of male phenotypes, such as testes. The Sry gene, located on the short branch of the Y chromosome, initiates male embryonic development in the XY sex determination system. The Sry gene follows the central dogma of molecular biology; the DNA encoding the gene is transcribed into messenger RNA, which then produces a single Sry protein.

Chemical Induction
Research in chemical induction seeks to identify the compound or compounds responsible for differentiation in a developing embryo. Soren Lovtrup compared the search for these compounds to the search for the philosopher's stone. It was based on the assumption that the differentiating agents have to be chemical substances either within cells or in the extracellular matrix.
The Notch Signaling Pathway in Embryogenesis
The Notch signaling pathway is a mechanism in animals by which adjacent cells communicate with each other, conveying spatial information and genetic instructions for the animal's development. All multicellular animals utilize Notch signaling, which contributes to the formation, growth, and development of embryos (embryogenesis). Notch signaling also contributes to the differentiation of embryonic cells into various types of cells into various types of cells, such as neurons.
Menstrual Hygiene Management in Low-Income Countries
Menstrual hygiene management, or MHM, is a concept that concerns girls' and women's access to the appropriate information and resources to manage menstruation. In December 2012, the Joint Monitoring Program, or JMP, was one of the first organizations to define MHM as a global development goal. Since then, other organizations like WaterAid and the United Nations have expanded MHM's definition to include menstrual education that is biologically accurate and free of taboo and stigma.
The Role of the Notch Signaling Pathway in Myogenesis
Among other functions, the Notch signaling pathway forestalls the process of myogenesis in animals. The Notch signaling pathway is a pathway in animals by which two adjacent cells within an organism use a protein named Notch to mechanically interact with each other. Myogenesis is the formation of muscle that occurs throughout an animal's development, from embryo to the end of life. The cellular precursors of skeletal muscle originate in somites that form along the dorsal side of the organism.

Biological Clocks and the Formation of Human Tooth Enamel
Tooth enamel contains relics of its formation process, in the form of microstructures, which indicate the incremental way in which it forms. These microstructures, called cross-striations and striae of Retzius, develop as enamel-forming cells called ameloblasts, whcih cyclically deposit enamel on developing teeth in accordance with two different biological clocks. Cross-striations result from a twenty-four hour cycle, called a Circadian rhythm, in the enamel deposition process, while striae of Retzius have a longer periodicity.
Regeneration is a fascinating phenomenon. The fact that many organisms have the capacity to regenerate lost parts and even remake complete copies of themselves is difficult to fathom; so difficult, in fact, that for a very long time people were reluctant to believe regeneration actually took place. It seemed unbelievable that some organisms could re-grow lost limbs, organs, and other body parts. If only we could do the same!
Endoderm is one of the germ layers-- aggregates of cells that organize early during embryonic life and from which all organs and tissues develop. All animals, with the exception of sponges, form either two or three germ layers through a process known as gastrulation. During gastrulation, a ball of cells transforms into a two-layered embryo made of an inner layer of endoderm and an outer layer of ectoderm. In more complex organisms, like vertebrates, these two primary germ layers interact to give rise to a third germ layer, called mesoderm.
Sex Determination in Humans
In humans, sex determination is the process that determines the biological sex of an offspring and, as a result, the sexual characteristics that they will develop. Humans typically develop as either male or female, depending on the combination of sex chromosomes that they inherit from their parents. The human sex chromosomes, called X and Y, are structures in human cells made up of tightly bound deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, and proteins.

The Meselson-Stahl Experiment (1957–1958), by Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl
In an experiment later named for them, Matthew Stanley Meselson and Franklin William Stahl in the US demonstrated during the 1950s the semi-conservative replication of DNA, such that each daughter DNA molecule contains one new daughter subunit and one subunit conserved from the parental DNA molecule. The researchers conducted the experiment at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California, from October 1957 to January 1958.

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
The hedgehog signaling pathway is a mechanism that directs the development of embryonic cells in animals, from invertebrates to vertebrates. The hedgehog signaling pathway is a system of genes and gene products, mostly proteins, that convert one kind of signal into another, called transduction. In 1980, Christiane Nusslein-Volhard and Eric F. Wieschaus, at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany, identified several fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) genes.
Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering (MAGE)
Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering, or MAGE, is a genome editing technique that enables scientists to quickly edit an organism's DNA to produce multiple changes across the genome. In 2009, two genetic researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, Harris Wang and George Church, developed the technology during a time when researchers could only edit one site in an organism's genome at a time.
Subject: Technologies, Processes
According to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), the standard American source on stem cell research, three characteristics of stem cells differentiate them from other cell types: (1) they are unspecialized cells that (2) divide for long periods, renewing themselves and (3) can give rise to specialized cells, such as muscle and skin cells, under particular physiological and experimental conditions. When allowed to grow in particular environments, stem cells divide many times. This ability to proliferate can yield millions of stem cells over several months.
Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are capable of dividing for long periods of time and can give rise to specialized cells under particular conditions. Embryonic stem cells are a particular type of stem cell derived from embryos. According to US National Institutes of Health (NIH), in humans, the term "embryo" applies to a fertilized egg from the beginning of division up to the end of the eighth week of gestation, when the embryo becomes a fetus. Between fertilization and the eighth week of gestation, the embryo undergoes multiple cell divisions.
Subject: Processes, Reproduction
Tissue engineering is a field of regenerative medicine that integrates the knowledge of scientists, physicians, and engineers into the construction or reconstruction of human tissue. Practitioners of tissue engineering seek to repair, replace, maintain, and enhance the abilities of a specific tissue or organ by means of living cells. More often than not stem cells are the form of living cells used in this technology. Tissue engineering is one of the disciplines involved in translating knowledge of developmental biology into the clinical setting.
Leuprorelin as a Treatment for Endometriosis
Leuprolide acetate, or leuprorelin, is a manufactured drug that has been prescribed as a treatment for endometriosis, a medical condition in which body tissue that typically lines the uterus grows outside of the uterus, since 1989. Leuprorelin is a modified version of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone, a type of hormone that helps regulate the female menstrual cycle. The drug inhibits the production of estrogen, a female sex hormone that enables endometrial gland growth.
Nuclear Transplantation
Nuclear transplantation is a method in which the nucleus of a donor cell is relocated to a target cell that has had its nucleus removed (enucleated). Nuclear transplantation has allowed experimental embryologists to manipulate the development of an organism and to study the potential of the nucleus to direct development. Nuclear transplantation, as it was first called, was later referred to as somatic nuclear transfer or cloning.
Mesoderm
Mesoderm is one of the three germ layers, groups of cells that interact early during the embryonic life of animals and from which organs and tissues form. As organs form, a process called organogenesis, mesoderm interacts with endoderm and ectoderm to give rise to the digestive tract, the heart and skeletal muscles, red blood cells, and the tubules of the kidneys, as well as a type of connective tissue called mesenchyme. All animals that have only one plane of symmetry through the body, called bilateral symmetry, form three germ layers.
The Carapacial Ridge of Turtles
Two main elements characterize the skeletal morphology of turtles: the carapace and the plastron. For a turtle, the carapacial ridge begins in the embryo as a bulge posterior to the limbs but on both sides of the body. Such outgrowths are the first indication of shell development in turtle embryos. While the exact mechanisms underpinning the formation of the carapacial ridge are still not entirely known, some biologists argue that understanding these embryonic mechanisms is pivotal to explaining both the development of turtles and their evolutionary history.
Spemann-Mangold Organizer
The Spemann-Mangold organizer, also known as the Spemann organizer, is a cluster of cells in the developing embryo of an amphibian that induces development of the central nervous system. Hilde Mangold was a PhD candidate who conducted the organizer experiment in 1921 under the direction of her graduate advisor, Hans Spemann, at the University of Freiburg in Freiburg, German. The discovery of the Spemann-Mangold organizer introduced the concept of induction in embryonic development.
Inducing Fertilization and Development in Sand Dollars
Sand dollars are common marine invertebrates in the phylum Echinodermata and share the same class (Echinoidea) as sea urchins. They have served as model laboratory organisms for such embryologists as Frank Rattray Lillie and Ernest Everett Just. Both Lillie and Just used Echinarachnius parma for their studies of egg cell membranes and embryo development at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in the early 1900s.
Hematopoietic Stem Cells
The discovery of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) provided a pioneering step in stem cell research. HSCs are a type of multipotent adult stem cell, characterized by their ability to self-renew and differentiate into erythrocyte (red blood cell) and leukocyte (white blood cell) cell lineages. In terms of function, these cells are responsible for the continual renewal of the erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets in the body through a process called hematopoiesis. They also play an important role in the formation of vital organs such as the liver and spleen during fetal development.
Gastrulation in Mus musculus (common house mouse)
As mice embryos develop, they undergo a stage of development called gastrulation. The hallmark of vertebrate gastrulation is the reorganization of the inner cell mass (ICM) into the three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Mammalian embryogenesis occurs within organisms; therefore, gastrulation was originally described in species with easily observable embryos. For example, the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is the most widely used organism to study gastrulation because the large embryos develop inside a translucent membrane.
Zidovudine or Azidothymidine (AZT)
In 1964, Jerome Horwitz synthesized the drug zidovudine, commonly abbreviated ZDV, otherwise known as azidothymidine, or AZT, at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan. Horwitz and his colleagues originally developed zidovudine to treat cancers caused by retroviruses. In 1983, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recipients Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier discovered a new retrovirus, the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France.
Intraspecies Chimeras Produced in Laboratory Settings (1960-1975)
When cells-but not DNA-from two or more genetically distinct individuals combine to form a new individual, the result is called a chimera. Though chimeras occasionally occur in nature, scientists have produced chimeras in a laboratory setting since the 1960s. During the creation of a chimera, the DNA molecules do not exchange genetic material (recombine), unlike in sexual reproduction or in hybrid organisms, which result from genetic material exchanged between two different species. A chimera instead contains discrete cell populations with two unique sets of parental genes.

Superficiality due to social media has split our personalities to virtual and physical.
I find it the funniest when I am scrolling through my infinite Facebook feed and I read a post that goes something like this "If you want to say something bad about me, my family, or something that I did. Don't take it to Facebook and bash me. Come to tell me in person." As if this person is going to take time out of their day to personally come and see you and talk about something. How naive we've become. Because the same post that implies a personal encounter is being posted for everyone to see, so now your business that was meant to be a personal encounter is now a Facebook intervention.
Let's face it. There is a difference between people's social media identity/personality and their real identity/personality. Just try approaching someone who has more than 5,000 followers and watches their head swell up as you look like a gawking fan who is compelled by their wonderful angled shots, three-year traveling photos, and weight-loss promotion products. When in reality you find out they are just as hopeless when it comes to life as you are. They just make it look good through lighting and editing.
Now, it seems like I sound like a broken tape recorder, but the superficial egos that social media is creating for us are becoming devastating at a steadily increasing rate. How you handle text messages and your texting etiquette is different from the way you handle conversations. I was once told that having my read messages on was bold. Who would have imagined that notifying someone about reading their notification would make you bold? I simply thought that someone knowing that I read their message would give them assurance that I got their message.
Lastly, is the psychological effect of all this on all of us. From the bold message reader to the social media personality our phones are becoming a separate entity of us rather than an extension of us. There should be no difference between how you handle yourself on social media and the physical world. Promoting and being an advocate of whatever you choose should reflect the way you live your life. We all love to repost and retweet these relatable memes and encouraging words, but yet when we go out to the physical world we are living the complete opposite.
What are we trying to portray? Are you really you? Or are you your @ name?


Nevales Networks, an innovator in delivering comprehensive and affordable cloud-based managed security services on a 'Pay as You Use' model, has taken a conscious decision to drive its entire business in India through channel partners. Nevales Networks has plans to appoint four large System Integrators (SIs), who will drive Nevales' business across India and will cater the security requirements for large enterprises through those SIs.
Nevales has a flat structure in the management team. In India, Nevales operates across three regions- north east, west and south, with a regional sales head in every region. Nevales has plans to appoint large SIs and operators to cater to the requirements of large enterprises. Nevales has their customers across various verticals such as financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail; IT/IT enabled services, engineering, hospitality, automobile, and education.
Nevales enables enterprises secure their multi-location branch offices remotely from the head offices. Nevales' cloud-based architecture allows System Integrators manage its plug-and-play ready security gateway devices remotely, making the devices ideal for enterprise branch office and remote location deployments. The security gateway devices can be centrally managed using the Nevales web interface across any number of distributed locations. Nevales allows for automatically administering policies, configurations, updates and upgrades from the cloud – enabling branch deployments without the need for on-site IT.
With Nevales, SIs can now manage their customers using their own private Cloud, co-branded web portal and enable customers move from an up-front capital expense (CapEx) investment, to a recurring operational expense (OpEx) model.
Nevales is looking to recruit partners who have been very progressive on the Cloud technology adoption, and also looking at working closely with operators.
Nevales' recent expansion in US and their tie-up with MIPS technologies are some of the conscious moves, which will support their future plans. They also recently won the prestigious awards like the Ti50 2013 and Cloud Connect Award 2013.

July 2021 date for selling electricity back to the grid
The Department of Environment is launching a public consultation today (14th January 2021) to help design how the Microgeneration Support Scheme will operate.
Homes, small businesses and farms that generate a small amount of energy from their on-site electricity system, often photovoltaic (PV) solar panels in the case of homeowners, are known as microgenerators.
Homeowners can currently apply for a grant to install PV panels on their existing home, as long as it has been built before 2011 and is energy efficient.
Most microgenerators usually serve their own consumption needs. This is because it is less efficient to export electricity to the grid than to use the electricity where it is generated.
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland in fact adapted its grant system in 2019 to encourage homeowners to install systems no larger than they need.
The Department says that in order to be eligible to sell electricity back to the grid under this new Microgeneration Support Scheme, microgenerators will have to first met minimum energy efficiency requirements for their properties.
This presumably would require the property to be brought up to at least a B2 on the Building Energy Rating scale, the current benchmark for major renovations.
"The principle of an energy efficiency first approach to building retrofit is included," states the press release.
The Department is promising a "fair price" for the electricity microgenerators will sell back to the grid. However, the models being looked at by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland in the past indicate the feed-in tariff will be modest.
The move is in line with previous commitments by government, especially as outlined in the Climate Action Plan.
A consultant's report issued as part of the public consultation, by Ricardo Confidential, states only solar PV panels and micro-CHP are suitable technologies for Irish homes.
Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamonn Ryan TD said: "This scheme will allow people and communities to become active participants in the energy transition. By producing and selling their own electricity citizens, farmers, business owners and community organisations can save on their energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint. I urge interested parties to get involved and have their say."
The public consultation closes on February the 18th 2021 at 17.30hrs. Submissions can be made by email or post.

Even Julia Child, she who made it her mission in life to convince ordinary American home cooks that they too could produce classic French cuisine — even Julia conceded that pie crust is problematic. It's a delicate balance: flaky yet flavorful; tender yet sturdy enough to stand up to the filling. You could spend your life trying to make the perfect pie crust. Or you could go to 4 Seasons Bakery in St. Charles and leave it in the flour-covered hands of Agi and Aaron Groff. From their tiny storefront, which they opened two years ago, the Groffs have been producing some of the finest pastry in the area, using only natural ingredients. Their macaroons and Linzer torte are rightly lusted after. But it's their pie we swoon for. The crust has achieved the perfect medium. (We're told that the trick is adding some steam to the convection oven, a maneuver we are not prepared to try at home. Even if we had a convection oven.) The fillings, made from seasonal fruit, are good, too: sweet but not cloying. But it's the crust that gets us. Oh, pie! We love you so, even enough to cross the mighty Missouri.

I've set literally thousands of tables in my lifetime, and that's not an exaggeration. In high school I held a part-time job as a food server and waitress in Arthur Andersen's training center. Some of the banquets were fancy and everything had to be perfect; it's an art form. A beautiful tablescape combines form with function to create an enjoyable dining experience. I always enjoy putting a table setting together. My creation is a deer table setting for Christmas; and I'm sharing my thought process for pulling it all together.
Start with a theme when creating your next table setting. Choose a style, color scheme, or topic to create the look you want and then stick to it.
I first spied these beautiful deer plates at Pier 1 and knew right away my theme would revolve around deer. I love that the buck's face looks so realistic, as though an artist painted it right on the plate.
The color scheme of my deer table setting remains neutral since the plates are mono-toned. Normally I like color but I didn't want to detract from the beauty of the stag head.
Silver chargers cradle the plates while silver-dipped plates add a small bit of bling to the table.
I love mixing metallic colors so a hint of bronze acorns wind their way down the center of the table. Acorns, of course, are found in the woods where the deer live.
Bark-finish evergreen trees lend rusticity and also call a woodland to mind.
Candles are always a sure-fire bet when creating a centerpiece for your holiday table. Add flowers or greenery, or simply use candles alone to cast a cozy glow over your Christmas table. Sparkly surfaces like mercury glass candle holders and votives create reflective surfaces for the candle's flame.
I've been busy decorating my house for Christmas, in addition to planning my deer table setting.
My Christmas home tour is tomorrow and I hope you'll come back to visit.
Simply magical….looks like a fairy came and sprinkled her fairy dust all over your beautiful table….fabulous!!
Trying this one more time….
Fabulous! looks like a fairy came and sprinkled her fairy dust all over your table, just love it!
What a lovely woodsy tablescape! I especially love those birch bark trees! Beautiful!
LOVE those deer plates and the woodsy feel, just beautiful!
Beautiful!!! I love the glittery winter wonderland look!!!
Pier One has really stepped up their game with these lovely deer head plates. I adore this woodland setting Jennifer!! It couldn't be prettier.
Jennifer I love your woodland theme, it's so magical for Christmas and juxtaposing all the metallic ornaments with it is simply beautiful! Wonderful table!
Beautiful Jennifer! Your palette of silver & gold is a favorite of mine. Merry Christmas to you & yours!
Very beautiful. It looks so wintery. Is that a word. I LOVE IT. The mix of metallics and the linens are so soft. I think that chair looks different too? Well done.
So pretty- I love those deer plates!
Oh my gosh, I love those plates so much and everything you did with your table to tie it all together! Happy holidays!
This table is lovely and I am not usually a fan of things with deer for Christmas. Usually to cutesy for me but these are gorgeous, very stately to me. You did a fantastic job.
Simply beautiful! can you share your source for the birch trees?
It's so beautiful, Jennifer. Happy holidays!
Very Beautiful!! Do you know the name of the plate (under the deer plate) with the bumps around the edge and where I can find it. Thank you. Merry Christmas!!
Love this! Where did you get your napkins and tablecloth?

Scottish towns are being urged to apply to a new domestic twinning programme to boost their local economies.
The twinning concept grew after the Second World War to promote cultural and commercial ties around the world, and it is being recreated across the UK as a way for councils to work together more closely.
Towns with a population under 80,000 - such as Inverness, Perth, Paisley, East Kilbride, and Hawick - are being encouraged to submit applications to the Carnegie UK Trust, which has launched the twinning scheme to support matched funding, shared knowledge and the creation of an economic development plan for local areas.
The charity said the scheme will see 10 towns across the UK with similar characteristics or challenges paired to share ideas and boost growth.
Scottish towns and cities have established hundreds of twin town relationships around the world over the years, such as Falkirk with Creteil, in northern France, Kirkcaldy with Ingolstadt, in southern Germany, and Livingston with Grapevine, in Texas, US.
Head of development at the Carnegie UK Trust Jim Metcalfe said: "The concept of town twinning was conceived to foster greater understanding and trade between communities in different countries.
"With the devolution of power to big, overarching regions increasingly likely, smaller towns are in danger of being left behind.

Allen Guelzo, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery
(New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004)
Though the Emancipation Proclamation may be the most celebrated event in Abraham Lincoln's life, it is surprisingly one of the least chronicled or appreciated. Historian Richard Hofstadter once dismissed the Emancipation as having "all the moral grandeur of a bill of lading." It has been fashionable to follow Hofstadters' lead in denigrating one of the most important documents in American history. Lincoln scholar Allen Guelzo has written: "If the language of the Proclamation sounded flat and legalistic, there was good reason. The use of presidential "war powers" has long been a sore point in constitutional theory. And once a wartime emergency ended, anything a president did on the strength of the "war powers" would inevitably be challenged in federal court, and possibly overturned. Strange as it may seem, bitter end slaveowners had every prospect, even after military defeat, of appealing any emancipation edict of Lincoln's all the way up to the Supreme Court. And the chief justice of the court was Roger Brooke Taney, the same chief justice who had written the majority opinion in the infamous Dred Scott case (which denied that blacks could be citizens). Taney had tried to strangle the Union war effort at the very beginning in ex parte Merryman (making arrests of Confederate agents impossible), and was, in 1863, trying to have the Union blockade of Confederate ports declared unconstitutional. If the Proclamation hadn't been written in the strictest, flattest, most precise legalese, Taney and the court would have picked it to pieces, and the cause of black freedom would have been set back again."1
Guelzo begins his book, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery, by writing: "The Emancipation Proclamation is surely the unhappiest of all of Abraham Lincoln's great presidential papers. Taken at face value, the Emancipation Proclamation was the most revolutionary pronouncement ever signed by an American president, striking the legal shackles from four million black slaves and setting the nation's face toward the total abolition of slavery within three more years. Today, however, the Proclamation is probably best known for what it did not do, beginning with its apparently failure to rise to the level of eloquence Lincoln achieved in the Gettysburg Address or the Second Inaugural."2
Mr. Lincoln approached emancipation with caution. He had reentered politics in 1854 determined to stop the spread of slavery and he refused as President-elect to yield on that principle. But when Generals John C. Frémont in the summer of 1861 and David Hunter in the spring of 1862 asserted their powers to free slaves within their jurisdictions, President Lincoln reversed their decisions. He was determined to proceed in a way that would keep Border State slaveholders, northern War Democrats and Radical Republicans united behind the war effort.
As historian Philip Shaw Paludan has written: "Lincoln needed to place the emancipation of blacks in a package that whites would accept. The Union was the almost universal ideal of northerners; everything that anyone did in the course of fighting the war was going to be to save the Union, Lincoln was preached to the choir here, but it was a big choir, and he had to rally and reassure them that the very dramatic act of freeing other people's slaves would be in service of the very conservative goal of saving their union."3
From early March to early July 1862, President Lincoln tried to line up Border State representatives behind his plans for compensated emancipation. His efforts were unavailing. Gulezo wrote that "Lincoln recognized by July 1862 that he could not wait for the legislative option – and not because he had patiently waited to discern public opinion and found the North readier than the state legislatures to move ahead."4
Even after on September 22 President Lincoln issued the draft emancipation following the Union victory at Antietam, Republicans and blacks worried that he might back off from issuing it in final form – especially after the Republican Party suffered serious losses in the November elections. Historian Edna Greene Medford wrote: "Throughout the closing months of 1862, blacks remained fearful that Lincoln would bow to the slaveholding interests and withhold the final proclamation scheduled to become effective the first day of the new year. When the South failed to accede to his terms and Lincoln honored the promise of the preliminary document, African-Americans throughout the North reacted to the news with unbridled joy. Black organizations held parades and assembled in mammoth gatherings to listen to prominent abolitionists extol the virtues of the president. At one such rally in New York, the Rev. Henry Highland Garnet (who like many blacks in the North had escaped southern slavery before the war) presided over the massive meeting at the Cooper Institute which had been organized by the 'Sons of Freedom.'"5
But the President had his eyes clearly set upon emancipation, which was based upon military necessity. It was, he told Gideon Welles "absolutely essential for the salvation of the Union, that we must free the slaves or be ourselves subdued…"6
Guelzo interprets Lincoln's pursuit of emancipation through the prism of prudence – which he calls the "most important among the Enlightenment's political virtues for Lincoln."7 He writes that "Lincoln never intended the Proclamation to be a substitute for a long-term legislative solution, and in fact that hope for a legislative solution eventually bore fruit as the Thirteenth Amendment. The Proclamation was an emergency measure, a substitute for the permanent plan that would really rid the country of slavery, but a substitute as sincere and profound as the timbers that shore up an endangered mine shaft and prevent it from collapsing entirely."8
Historian Gerald Sorin wrote: "Republicans followed a prudent course between abolitionist demands and Northern racism. Their bow to anti-black sentiment was in large measure defensive. They felt that in order to have the power to abolish slavery, they must be politically successful. And this meant dissociating the party from the idea of equality. Thus, as the party moved toward emancipation, Lincoln and other Republicans insisted that they were not trying to 'Africanize' the North. Congressman George Julian and Senator Salmon P. Chase advanced the theory that emancipation would actually decrease the North's black population. Northern blacks, these Republican leaders predicted, would be attracted by the more congenial, 'natural' environment of the post-emancipation South, and would emigrate there."9
President Lincoln proclaimed emancipation as a military necessity for the war to preserve the union. He thus applied it to the areas under rebellion – not the areas then under the control of the federal government. Although his action has been criticized as an empty gesture, it was far from that. It encouraged thousands of slaves to self-liberate. But, noted Guelzo, "Without the legal freedom conferred first by the Emancipation Proclamation, no runaway would have remained 'self-emancipated' for very long."10
Guelzo reviews a broader swath of Lincoln's policy toward slavery and black Americans – from the first policy conflicts of his administration with generals who emancipated slaves on their own authority to the use of black soldiers to confront the Confederacy. Guelzo wrote that "black enlistment made the Emancipation Proclamation irrevocable. No one in their right mind could seriously recommend canceling the Proclamation after ordering black soldiers into the nightmare of war."11
Historian James M. McPherson has written that "the Emancipation Proclamation… liberated Abraham Lincoln from the agonizing contradiction between his "oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free" and his oath of office as president of a slaveholding republic. It fused the "organizing principle" of liberty that guided Lincoln before 1861 with the "single central vision" of Union that became his lodestar during the war. Liberty and Union became "the one big thing" instead of two big things, enabling Lincoln to become a true hedgehog."12
A month before the draft Emancipation Proclamation was issue, New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley wrote an open "Prayer of Twenty Millions" to President Lincoln to abolish slavery – to which the President replied that his priority was the preservation of the Union. Historian Don E. Fehrenbacher wrote that "the [Greeley] letter will be misunderstood if it is read as a straightforward statement of Lincoln's political and ethical priorities, with the Union counting for everything and slavery, nothing. Lincoln's ostensible neutralism about slavery was misleading – and intentionally so. He had, in fact, already committed himself to emancipation, had drafted a proclamation, and was using the exchange with Greeley 'to prepare the people for what was coming.' Preservation of the Union and abolition of slavery were already bound together as twin purposes of the Civil War. Saving the Union had become more than an end in itself. It was also the indispensable means of achieving emancipation. But Lincoln, for reasons of political strategy, had to put it the other way around, viewing emancipation as a means, and very likely a necessary means, of saving the Union. Still there is more to be said. To this perception of cool calculation and dissembled purpose in the Greeley letter one should add some understanding of the deeper uncertainties with which Lincoln contemplated the relation of the war to emancipation, and of emancipation to the future of the nation." McPherson added: "Along with the intended meaning of Lincoln's words, one must consider their effective meaning – that is, what they were understood to mean by his primary and his secondary audiences, and also what consequences they may have produced."13
Mr. Lincoln's concern with conflicting constituencies often frustrated Radical Republicans. Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner, notes Guelzo, "chided Lincoln without end over emancipation."14 However, in a eulogy of President Lincoln delivered seven weeks after his death, Sumner recognized the genius of his prudence and passion: "In the statement of moral truth and the exposure of wrong, he was at times singularly cogent. There was fire as well as light in his words. Nobody exhibited Slavery in its enormity more clearly. On one occasion he blasted it as 'a monstrous injustice'; on another he pictured the slave-master as 'wringing his bread from the sweat of other men's face'; and the, on still another he said, with exquisite simplicity of diction, 'If Slavery is not wrong, then nothing is wrong.'"15
Within the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the limits of the Constitution, President Lincoln was determined to end the wrong.
Peter W. Schram, Claremont Review of Books, Spring 2004: Peter W. Schram writes that Allen Guelzo helps "to restore in its fullness to our memory and understanding this unrivalled act of American statesmanship. In accomplishing this, Guelzo demonstrates the rare discernment-I do not hesitate to say wisdom-required of the serious historian, and the poetry too: 'so hard is it,' as Lincoln said, 'to have a thing understood as it really is.' There is no more fitting praise for this book than to say that it is worthy of its subject." Schram writes: "Guelzo's simple and highly ambitious aim is to understand Lincoln as he understood himself and to see through his eyes, in its true proportions, the act that Lincoln regarded as 'the central act of my administration.' To do this Guelzo thinks one must understand Lincoln's 'prudence.' It is the 'politics of prudence,' according to Guelzo, 'which opens up for us a way to understand Lincoln's strategy in 'the mighty experiment' of emancipation.' Guelzo takes pains to emphasize that this is no pinched prudence of caution or of mere calculation. It is a commanding practical wisdom, in the fullest classical sense of that eminent virtue, that chooses the right means, for the right reasons, to the right ends in the most momentous and complex circumstances. This is the irreducible source of Lincoln's actions; it is the ultimate standard to which he held himself. Guelzo's judicious and elegant narrative shows Lincoln living up to this standard, astonishingly, amid the wildly violent clashing of armies, passions, interests, opinions, prejudices, fears, and ambitions of a country at war with itself." 16

Mark Pritchard: Under the Sun
Stephan Wyatt
Under the Sun is Pritchard discovering his own voice through the voices of others who continue to inspire him today.
Mark Pritchard
Label: Warp
Since 1991, Mark Pritchard has preferred to operate as an invisible hand behind UK's experimental electronic movement. Like fellow Warp label mates and West County citizens Tom Middleton and Richard D. James, Pritchard drew from the same habits of fearlessness, focusing on the freedom found in their gadgets and instruments restricted only by the absence of an imagination. Responsible for introducing electronic music luminaries, Matthew Hebert and Danny Breaks, Pritchard rarely sought credit or publicity for his influence and artistry. His most noteworthy contribution to the expansion of the musical canon was his best great and mighty Oz persona, New School Science, under the Jedi Knights moniker. Still cutting their teeth as musicians and producers, Middleton and Pritchard summoned the spirit of George Clinton and '70s funk in place of the rising IDM genre. Dance music went the same direction as free jazz had succeeding be-bop in the '60s. IDM has a place in the ever-expanding art form, but from Pritchard"s perspective, dance music had lost the narrative along the way.
Equally guilty, however, Pritchard is a producer with the spirit of a collector and a curator. Drawn to the same heady ambient landscapes and jungle rhythms as his fellow collaborators, unable to shake his techno and grime roots, his curiosity for electronic music's rich history seeps into nearly every pore like fragmented memories on his most recent release, Under the Sun. The strength of Under the Sun rests with his continued spirit of collaboration and his eclectic style, recognizing the endless possibilities of infusing pop elements into electronic music's abstract spirit.
A restrained Thom Yorke accompanies Pritchard's marimba rhythms and Massive Attack mood on "Beautiful People", rivaling the power of Yorke's most impassioned performances found on any record on the other side of Kid A. Like Yorke's tender delivery, the flute loop haunts from the very beginning, relenting only for brief moment when a swell of Yorke's angelic layered backing vocals ascends before the loop remerges for one final time. Linda Perhacs reaches deep into the spirit of her psychedelic folk past on "You Wash My Soul", a track that could easily be mistaken from her Parallelograms-era. Likewise, her whispery vocals and serene sentiments expose a side of Pritchard rarely revealed: vulnerability. Where Yorke's voice liberates Pritchard's track, Perhacs spooks like strong winds before a storm. Yet, even more compelling is how anonymous he seems during both Perhacs' and Yorke's efforts. If either track was released under any other name, the assumption would be that each song belonged to the vocalist, especially on how each track fits inexplicably well.
Rapper Beans borrows heavily from Saul Williams on "The Blinds Cage", and the last word in the title borrows heavily from its namesake, John Cage. More subdued than on other efforts, his words, on the other hand, are not. Confounding lines like "Since our birth we slowly die" and "I beseech the heaven"s to quench my desire", Beans narrates his hero's hope for freedom and the unendurable means he must take in order to attain it. Spoken word would appear suspiciously out of place, or forced, on Under the Sun, but it is neither. It works without the pretentiousness usually associated with tracks like this one. Again, Pritchard floats behind the track like a faceless collaborator. He plays with sci-fi tones that move in a flat circle. The song, like its narrative, ends unresolved, moving away with more questions than answers.
Making every attempt to maintain his private disposition, "Khufu" takes from the language of Aphex Twins' Selected Ambient Works, Volume II: formless, emotionless timbres, and unimposing drones fill the spaces slow tempo like shallowed breathing. On the other hand, "Cycles of 9" sounds like a tip of the hat to composer Steve Reich, matching his veneration for simplicity, except here he blends acoustic elements with electronic ones. Although blended, each instrument is distinctly recognizable, from organs to strings to horns. Dominance exists in the balance of Pritchard's compositions, and "Cycles of 9" underscores this approach on this and every track on Under the Sun.
In 2013, Pritchard released three EPs that reprised his enduring love for techno, house, and jungle, also blending future beats aesthetics, making him just one of many in a crowded genre. Under the Sun is Pritchard discovering his own voice through the voices of others who continue to inspire him today. Twenty-five years into his undaunted career, he has created an album that brings him proudly from behind the curtain and into the foreground for all to appreciate.

Описание: Brian Freeman presents a translation of Blechschmidt`s overview of the changing form and structure of the human anatomy. This research is based on a major collection of accurate reconstructions of human embryos and offers a new way of looking at human development.
Автор: Blechschmidt E., Gasser R. F.
Описание: Fifty years ago the field of human embryology was incomplete; prior to that time the anatomy of early human embryos was still unknown, and there was much to be learned about the older stages of human embryonic development. It is now understood that human organs result from step-by-step differentiations of the growing human embryo. Research by renowned embryologist Erich Blechschmidt, MD, showed that differentiations are not only the result of a gene effect, but are also brought about through growth initiated by extragenetic (occurring outside the gene) information. Without this extragenetic information the differentiation would not begin.
Dr. Blechschmidt and coauthor Raymond Gasser, PhD, maintain that Haeckel's biogenetic law (ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny) was an erroneous attempt to explain developmental processes. Blechschmidt's human embryological investigations showed that Darwin's principles (mutation and selection) are likely valid for the origin of the species, but that they cannot explain the ontogenesis of the organs. The ontogenesis of each individual cannot be derived from phylogenetic facts. The authors stress that a clear distinction must be made between the vast field of phylogenetics and the much more exact and understandable field of ontogenetics particularly the process of differentiation and their goal is to present not only the abstract biokinetic principles of differentiation, but the originality of embryonic human beings as well. Their knowledge of developmental movements leads to their conclusion that differentiation is an undivided biodynamic process that occurs during development and includes the chemical processes as well.
Logically organized into two sections (the first covers early metabolic fields and includes chapters on the one-cell human ovum, the early embryo, blood vessels, the nervous system, head region, trunk, and limbs; the second describes metabolic fields in later developmental stages, distinguishing fields of corrosion, densation, contusion, distusion, retention, dilation, liquation, and detraction), "Biokinetics and Biodynamics of Human Differentiation" warrants reading by thoughtful professionals in a number of fields concerned with embryonic differentiation. A new preface by Dr. Gasser addresses how the book's principles and findings were and are understood in the field of human embryology."

Khopesh
Khopesh is a very rare and ancient weapon that has only been included in the Games a couple times in the past. It is a combination of a Sabre and a Sickle, and dates back to the Old World. The Khopesh is infamous for its inclusion in the 7th Hunger Games, where it inflicted many fatalities at the hands of Alistair Drake before finally being broken in half. Since then, the Khopesh has rarely been seen implemented because of its controversial and unfair nature.
A Khopesh's blade is unique because of its hooked form, which can be used to disarm or even drag an adversary towards the wielder. A Khopesh isn't very difficult to wield, although many Tributes have shied away from such a weapon because of its confusing and mishapen blade. To properly wield a Khopesh, one must have basic training in sword combat. Most of the tactics that can be used against adversaries are improvised.
The Khopesh is actually an ancient Egyptian sword, which was used specifically for hooking an opponent's shield or disarming them of their weapons.
Alistair Drake used a Khopesh to slay a great many Tributes during the 7th Hunger Games, this was due to the fact that a sword of such a nature had never been seen before in the Games.
Lucian Drake, the District 12 male in the Quarter Quell, has trained and shows great interest in wielding the Khopesh like his uncle had.

Forty-two indigent but brilliant secondary school and university students have been awarded the 2013/2014 Carter Foundation Scholarship.
The awards were announced on Thursday by the chairman of Louis Carter Industries Ltd, Chief Louis Onwugbenu.
While the secondary school scholarship is valued at N25,000 for one academic session, the university scholarship is worth N100,000.
Onwugbenu charged the beneficiaries to use the opportunity of the scholarship to concentrate on their studies.
He lamented that he could not further his education beyond primary school because of lack of funds.
He said the scholarship was in line with a promise he made to lead a crusade to eliminate illiteracy if he had the opportunity to do so.
The chairman of the Anambra State Schools Education Service Commission, Mrs. Joy Ulasi, thanked Onwugbenu for taking the initiative in education philanthropy and noted that Nnewi which is widely known for business was now opening up for the development of other sectors.
She urged the beneficiaries and their parents to remain studious and steadfast in order to achieve the aims of the scholarship scheme.
One of the beneficiaries, Cynthia Okonkwo, a Senior Secondary pupil of Federal Government College Onitsha, who came in company with her mother, Ego Okonkwo (a widow), said she would no longer worry about her fees but would devote her time to her studies.
