YOLO COUNTY (CBS13) — Yolo County businesses not following public health orders could face up to a $10,000 fine. The county's Board of Supervisors adopted an urgency ordinance Tuesday allowing for enforcement of penalties for violating orders.
In a press release, the county said they will begin increasing "implementation of enforcement measures focused on businesses and organizations to prevent the spread of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in the community."

The county has seen a large increase in cases over the past four weeks, with total cases growing by more than 200%, the release said. So, in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, the county developed an enforcement strategy with the cities of Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, and Woodland.
"People tend to take things a little bit more seriously if they know that they know there is a fine and a consequence to your actions," said Jenny Tan, Public Information Officer for Yolo County.
While they will primarily focus on education, the county said if violations or non-compliance persist, the may take enforcement actions. Those actions include:
Public Communication: Provide information to the public identifying any organization or business in non-compliance.
Urgency Ordinance/Fines: Enforceable by the County. The County's Board of Supervisors adopted an urgency ordinance on July 7 allowing for the enforcement of penalties for violating Public Health Orders ranging from $25 – $500 for non-commercial violators and from $250 – $10,000 for commercial violators. The ordinance is enforceable by the County within the cities, which may also adopt similar ordinances to expand the enforcement options available to their staff.
Misdemeanors: May be issued by city police departments or Sheriff's Office with prosecution by the District Attorney.
Business Closure: Enforceable by County Counsel or the local Health Officer.
Civil Action: Enforceable by County Counsel or City Attorney and may include seeking court orders to shut non-compliant businesses down until compliance is assured.
"We are only going to get through this together. We hope that we don't have to get to enforcement, but if we do have to, at least that is a tool that is available to us," Tan said.

This announcement comes days after the county decided to shut down all bars and some indoor activities. While 19 counties were told by the state to halt indoor dining due to increasing cases, Yolo County voluntarily closed businesses for at least three weeks.
"We want to work with you. We want you to do this on your own because you are looking out for your community and public's health and their safety," said Tan.
County officials said last week the country is "likely to exceed the elevated disease transmission criteria on the State of California's County Data Monitoring." As of Monday afternoon, Yolo County had 705 reported cases, 29 of which were reported Monday, and 26 deaths.
The county expects education will work in most cases and enforcement will only be needed for severe violations or repeat offenders.

Nancy Garica owns Kulture in Woodland and believes the move will help the community move in the right direction.
"The goal is to stay safe and be able to keep our businesses open, so as a small business owner, I think it is a good thing if all of the businesses are cooperating and doing what we are suppose to be doing," she said.
Supervisors in El Dorado County are contemplating enforcement, after notice from Governor Newsom that informed counties who are not in compliance could jeopardize receiving millions in state funding.
Through the state budget process, El Dorado County was allocated $19.7 million in CARES Act funding, according to the County. The area will also receive an additional $2.8 million to backfill lost revenue for their realignment programs, including Social Services, Public Health, Behavioral Health and Public Safety. In order to receive the funds, the County Executive is required to submit two attestations that follow all federal, state, and local health orders.
Supervisors will meet Thursday at 2 p.m. for a special meeting to discuss what enforcement could look like.
Yuba-Sutter Health said their educational approach is working despite growing cases.
"We have noticed a lot more cooperation from people going into businesses. We do think it is working," explained Rachel Rosenbaum, spokesperson for Yuba County. "The majority of these infections are actually coming from multiple interactions and social gatherings — cases where enforcement might not really come into play."
Rosenbaum said the county is only focused on education at this point.
"Our residents and businesses like everywhere in the country have really been hit hard by this and we don't want to have to put a further financial burden on our community," she said.
Counties including Sacramento, Placer, and San Joaquin currently do not have plans to issue fines.

16 trips everyone should take in Asia in 2017
Sarah Schmalbruch and Sophie-Claire Hoeller
Dec. 13, 2016, 12:59 PM
Laos.
Home to 48 countries, Asia is the world's largest (and most populous) continent.
Clearly there's no shortage of things to do and see, which is why we narrowed it down to create the ultimate 2017 bucket list of must-visit Asian destinations. (Click here for our full 2017 travel bucket list.)
From the world's highest and longest glass bridge in China to the newly-discovered ancient cities around Angkor Wat, here are 16 trips everyone should take in Asia next year.

Earthquakes and fuel strikes, as well as concerns of safety and overcrowding on Mount Everest, made Nepal take a big hit tourism-wise. However, the country is rebounding, and its extraordinary mountains and welcoming people still make it the best choice for budget conscious adventure travelers.
The best part? The income you bring locals will go a long way in rebuilding infrastructure and communities.
Palawan Island, Philippines

It's no wonder Palawan Island is all over Instagram; this island in the Philippines boasts some of the most beautiful white-sand beaches in the world.

After Osaka, Chengdu was the second-fastest growing city in terms of visitors this past year, according to the 2016 MasterCard Global Destinations Cities Index.
There's plenty of history, culture, and delicious food to be found within the walls of the city's three parallel, ancient alleys known as Kuan, Zhai, and Jing Xiangzi.
Angkor Wat, a 700-year old temple complex spread over 154 square miles deep in the lush jungles of northern Cambodia, was named the best attraction on the planet by Lonely Planet last year.
If that isn't enough, this year saw the discovery of even more, even older cities surrounding it.

The United Nations named 2017 the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, which promotes greater awareness of different cultures and their heritage and values.
Do your part by visiting Bhutan, which is both incredibly rich in culture, and the world's most eco-friendly country.

Want Michelin-starred fare without busting the bank? You can get a Michelin-approved meal for less than $2, but it'll cost you a trip to Singapore. Famous for its hawker centers and delicious street food, the Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle food stall in Singapore became the first of two street vendors to earn a Michelin star this year.

Seoul is in the final stages of completing its new Skygarden, a highway turned pedestrian walkway and public space filled with an arboretum of local plants, greenhouses, cafés, markets, libraries, and flower shops.
Avid travelers won't want to miss this brand-new attraction.
Hokkaido, Japan
This year, for the first time ever, Japan's bullet trains have extended to Hokkaido, making Japan's northernmost island easier to get to than ever before.
Hokkaido, which is home to many well-known ski resorts, is famed among skiers for its insane powder in the winter (especially in Niseko). In the summer, it beckons with canoeing, hiking, fishing, and whale watching.

Just like Iran, Oman is experiencing a boom in luxury hotels, plus there's the Majarat Oman — a $120 million theme park geared towards families — which is set to open in 2017.
Be sure to explore the country's mosques too, set against a gorgeous backdrop of mountains.

Often overshadowed by neighbors like Thailand and Vietnam, Laos recently took center stage when Barack Obama became the first sitting US president to visit.
The beautiful country is full of ancient temples and Buddhist shrines, stilt houses and rice paddies, as well as stunning mountains covered in lush jungle. It's still cheap to visit and far emptier than its neighbors, but hurry, increased flights from Thailand will mean an increase in tourists.

According to the 2016 MasterCard Global Destinations Cities Index, Osaka was the fastest-growing city in the world in terms of number of visitors. The Japanese city is an interesting contrast between old and new, with its striking skyline and historic castle that dates back to the 16th century.
Ranthambore National Park, India

A three-hour car ride from Jaipur, Ranthambore National Park draws wildlife photographers from all over thanks to its tigers and stunning scenery — the park even contains ancient ruins.
According to National Geographic (who named central India a top destination for 2017), close to two thirds of the world's tiger population can be found in India, so if you're looking for an adventurous safari, consider India.

Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, China
Haim Dotan Ltd. Architects and Urban Designers
The world's highest and longest glass bridge opened in China this year, and it's worth the trip, provided you don't suffer from vertigo.
The terrifying structure spans the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon in Hunan Province, which is said to have inspired the stunning scenery depicted in "Avatar." The walkway is more than 1,400 feet long and six feet wide.
Sumba, Indonesia
Nihiwatu Resort - Sumba Island / Facebook
This little known island in Indonesia is home to the best hotel in the world, according to Travel + Leisure. Formerly a surf hotel thanks to the area's legendary swell and left hand breaks, it was recently turned into a seriously luxurious, totally off-the-grid resort and spa featuring private villas with private pools, as well as empty, untouched beaches.
Facebook / Louvre Abu Dhabi
Though it was scheduled to open this year, the new opening date of the United Arab Emirates' version of the Louvre is now slated for 2017.
Don't miss a trip to the futuristic building that looks like it's floating above the man-made lake that surrounds it. It will be home to a vast collection of art that includes Chinese Buddhist carvings, Italian oil paintings, and works from artists like Van Gogh, da Vinci, and Monet that have been lent from Paris' Louvre

Which show should I do next?
I just recently watched 'La Dolce Vita'. It had been sitting in my to-watch list for over a year. I wish I had seen it sooner. The lead actress is really amazing and the characters had so much depth to them. Have you watched this drama?
I enjoyed the Korean Take care of the Young Lady because I really like Yoon Sang Hyun. I didn't realize there was a Japanese version. I'd love to read your thoughts! Now I have to see if I can find that to watch.

Q: error: 'INT32_MAX' was not declared in this scope I'm getting the error
error: 'INT32_MAX' was not declared in this scope

But I have already included
#include <stdint.h>

I am compiling this on (g++ (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44) with the command
g++ -m64 -O3 blah.cpp

Do I need to do anything else to get this to compile? or is there another C++ way to get the constant "INT32_MAX"?
Thanks and let me know if anything is unclear!

A: Hm... All I needed to do was #include <climits> nothing else on this page worked for me.
Granted, I was trying to use INT_MIN.

A: #include <iostream>
#include <limits.h> or <climits>

worked for me

A: Quoted from the man page, "C++ implementations should define these macros only when __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is defined before <stdint.h> is included".
So try:
#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
#include <stdint.h>

A:  #include <cstdint> //or <stdint.h>
 #include <limits>

 std::numeric_limits<std::int32_t>::max();

Note that <cstdint> is a C++11 header and <stdint.h> is a C header, included for compatibility with C standard library.
Following code works, since C++11.
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
#include <cstdint>

struct X
{
    static constexpr std::int32_t i = std::numeric_limits<std::int32_t>::max();
};

int main()
{
    switch(std::numeric_limits<std::int32_t>::max()) {
       case std::numeric_limits<std::int32_t>::max():
           std::cout << "this code works thanks to constexpr\n";
           break;
    }
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

A: I ran into similar issue while using LLVM 3.7.1 c++ compiler.
Got the following error while trying to compile gRPC code as part of building some custom library
src/core/lib/iomgr/exec_ctx.h:178:12: error: use of undeclared identifier 'INT64_MAX'

The compilation went through after adding -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS as one of the options to c++ compiler.
.../bin/c++ -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -I{LIBRARY_PATHS} testlib.cc -o testlib

A: Including the following code after #include <iostream> worked for me:
#include <limits.h>

I am using the following compiler:
g++ 5.4.0-6

A: I was also facing the similar problem,just need to add-
#include <limits.h> after #include <iostream>

A: The code for all c++ version, compatible with lower GCC like CentOS 6.0(gcc version 4.4.7):
// https://onlinegdb.com/ApNzDNYUx

#include <stdio.h>

// @see https://stackoverflow.com/a/9162072/17679565
#include <inttypes.h>

// For CentOS 6(gcc version 4.4.7) or not defined the macro.
#ifndef INT32_MAX
#define INT32_MAX (2147483647)
#endif

int main()
{
    printf("INT32_MAX=%d\n", INT32_MAX);

    return 0;
}

OnlineGDB

A: #include<bits/stdc++.h>

add this at the beginning.

A: include             -->    #include <bits/stdc++.h>                 <--
should look like
:
#include<iostream>

Preparing for a vaccination campaign of unprecedented scale
by Guest Commentary December 9, 2020 December 9, 2020

California will need to utilize health data to rapidly identify high-risk patients and make sure they are prioritized for vaccination.
By Claudia Williams, Special to CalMatters
Claudia Williams is Founder and CEO of Manifest MedEx, a nonprofit health data network, Claudia.williams@manifestmedex.org.
With COVID-19 cases on the rise and hospitals again overwhelmed, recent good news about three vaccine candidates provides a welcome light at the end of a long tunnel and is a stunning scientific achievement.
"This will go down in history as one of science and medical research's greatest achievements. Perhaps the most impressive," said Scripps Research's Dr. Eric Topol.
More than 300,000 COVID-19 vaccines will be delivered to California in December and transported in 14 ultra-low temperature freezers the state has already purchased. Now we enter the next phase of this herculean effort: getting these promising vaccines dispensed to Californians.
Gov. Gavin Newsom indicated the state will proceed with the goals of transparency, equity and safety. As the most populous state in the country, and a global leader in technology and innovation, the world will be watching California closely.
The state's draft vaccination plan outlines what a vast and distributed effort this will be. The first phase will focus on reaching the highest-priority residents, guided by recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory committee and from a California state body that is meeting weekly. The initial priority groups will likely include health and other essential workers, residents in nursing homes, and people with health conditions that put them at greater risk.
That's where things get really tricky. California and other states will need to rapidly identify patients who match specific health criteria. But the clues for who is at high-risk lie across thousands of disparate electronic health record systems, claims data and paper documents.
Aggregating and synthesizing this information across the entire state seems like an impossible task. According to the draft plan, the state's "Allocation Data Team" will be charged with combing through available data, but the plan offers no concrete strategies to identify high-risk patients.
By clicking subscribe, you agree to share your email address with CalMatters to receive marketing, updates, and other emails.
An important starting place should be the state's health information exchanges, as was recently recommended by the National Governors Association: "All states have existing data systems and processes upon which to build … (including) data intermediaries such as health information exchanges."
States can use these health data utilities to rapidly identify high-risk patients and make sure they are prioritized for vaccination. The progress of these nonprofit networks has accelerated over the past years, with an estimated 92% of people in the U.S. already covered by health information exchanges. In California, our largest health information exchanges combines clinical and claims data for 25 million people, providing a single view of patients' health, along with crucial contact information like address and phone number.
Leveraging health data utilities is a proven approach to identify vulnerable patients. In the early stages of the pandemic, Riverside County used health information exchanges data to rapidly identify and source contact information for 73,000 county residents with health problems that put them at high risk of COVID-19 complications. The county reached out by automated phone call to every one of these vulnerable patients. Using this data, California could launch a phone, text and letter campaign overnight reaching high-risk patients with vaccination instructions.
This strategy will reduce the burden on already stretched health systems and clinicians. Now more than ever we need critical frontline teams focused on educating and encouraging patients, maintaining supply chains and delivering vaccines, not piecing together information from disparate health records.
And that's just the first step. California can also partner with our state's health data networks to track the outcomes of patients who are immunized, improve race and contact information for contact tracing, and explore the ongoing health issues faced by "long COVID" patients.
This is the crucial moment for our state to step up. As thousands of health care leaders prepare to deliver lifesaving vaccines to millions of Americans, let's be sure to use available data and infrastructure to ensure success.
Claudia has also written about how California can improve the state's health data challenges.

PK Partners' fingerprints are all over the upscale Keystone at the Crossing retail district—from The Fashion Mall at Keystone to a recently built $100 million mixed-use development constructed on one of the last available parcels there.
The local company's latest project, made public last month, is to demolish the former Champps restaurant building that it owns and partner with Duke Realty Corp. to construct a new headquarters for the publicly traded company.
Excuse Larman, 59, for sounding a bit sentimental. He's spent the past 25 years building the area into a vibrant mix of office and retail space buttressed by hotels and apartment complexes.
But he couldn't have done it without his father, Leonard L. Larman, who nearly 50 years ago had the vision to assemble nearly 200 acres of farmland now bounded by East 86th Street to the south, Interstate 465 to the north, Keystone Avenue to the west and the White River to the east.
The elder Larman in the mid-1970s developed the first phase of The Fashion Mall and the quirkily designed Bazaar shopping center before Phil joined his father's retail development company in 1981.
See which buildings PK Partners has touched at Keystone at the Crossing.
"Leonard had the foresight to put the ground together, but it was Phil who made [the area] what it is today," said Connie Niessink, a principal at Niessink Commercial Real Estate, which is based at Keystone at the Crossing.
Indeed, PK Partners has been involved in the development of roughly 20 buildings, ranging from the River Crossing at Keystone apartments to the Shops at River Crossing to its latest project—River North at Keystone.
PK Partners moved its office last year from one of the three office buildings it developed at River Crossing to the new River North. The company shoehorned two office buildings, an apartment complex and a Hampton Inn into an area widely considered already built out.
The project has been wildly successful. The four-story, 102,000-square-foot office building that PK Partners built with the Gene B. Glick Co. is fully occupied. Another, Walker Place at River North, is 97 percent leased, and the 196-unit Quarry at River North luxury apartment complex is 90 percent leased.
Larman, sitting in an office conference room overlooking the River Crossing lake, recounts how he and his father developed Keystone at the Crossing into what it is today.
The story begins the year Phil Larman was born, 1959, when his father took a job with Albert Frankel, an early retail developer who built Indianapolis' Eastgate and Southern Plaza shopping centers.
Interestingly, the job opening the elder Larman filled at Frankel's firm was created by the departure of Mel Simon, who, along with his brother Herb, would launch what would become the biggest shopping mall developer in the world.
Larman and Frankel together began acquiring from farmers the land at Keystone at the Crossing, before Interstate 465 was even built, with plans to build a large mall.
Modern shopping malls were still in their infancy and becoming hot. The pair's plans were to build the Indianapolis area's first large shopping center, but they were beaten to the punch by mall magnate Edward J. DeBartolo Sr., who broke ground in 1970 on Castleton Square Mall.
Watch a historical promotional video about The Fashion Mall and the Bazaar.
It was then that Leonard Larman decided to break from the aging Frankel and start his own firm. He departed with the rights to the Keystone at the Crossing land and with a new plan to build a mall, this one focusing on the luxury end of the market.
He partnered with the former Indiana National Bank to build The Fashion Mall—which initially was a mere 60,000 square feet—and the accompanying Bazaar. Both opened in 1974.
A TGI Friday's restaurant, now sandwiched between P.F. Chang's and Maggiano's along East 86th Street, originally was located where Crate and Barrel now sits and was quite the happening place, Larman recalled.
But leasing got off to a slow start after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries launched an embargo that caused oil prices to skyrocket, crippling the economy.
Around the same time, Indiana National became immersed in shaky real estate deals around the Midwest. The Federal Reserve stepped in and forced the bank to pull back, which left Leonard Larman without financial backing.
With his bank partner sidelined, Larman in 1978 lost ownership of The Fashion Mall and Bazaar. While those went to Duke, Larman was able to keep the land to the east—what is now River Crossing.
Duke razed the Bazaar in 1986 to make way for a mall expansion that took it to 600,000 square feet. Duke later sold the mall to a British pension fund, which sold it to Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group Inc. in 1997. Simon since has taken the mall to 710,000 square feet.
Larman remembers the Bazaar fondly.
Phil went to work for his father in 1981 after graduating from Tulane University and turning down a job offer from a developer in New Orleans.
He soon regretted the decision. The loss of The Fashion Mall and Bazaar became too much for his father to bear.
So, the younger Larman left in 1984 to start a custom-home building business, which built in Carmel, Zionsville and the Geist area.
In 1989, though, his father became terminally ill with a brain tumor and died the following year at the age of 70. His business at the time had dwindled to a few older, struggling retail properties.
Larman, along with his sister Karen, a silent owner, bought the remaining assets and founded PK Partners. She remained an owner until Larman bought her out a few years ago.
Upon taking control of his father's company, Larman set out to get the 85-acre River Crossing property zoned for commercial and residential development.
He accomplished that in 1993. That same year, he sold off a parcel to a North Carolina developer that built the River Crossing apartments. The complex now is owned by locally based Barrett & Stokely Inc.
Three years later, PK Partners built the Shops at River Crossing, whose current tenants include Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond and the Late Harvest restaurant.
Also in 1995, the company constructed the building that housed Champps—a staple of the Keystone at the Crossing dining and nightlife scene before it closed last November.
CBRE retail broker Steve Delaney—who represented both PK Partners and Champps when Champps signed its lease—said that was his first of several experiences working with Larman.
PK Partners then set its sights on developing the River Crossing I, II and III office buildings. The company sold the 203,000-square-foot River Crossing I and II—which collectively have 203,000 square feet—to Massachusetts-based Franklin Street Properties Corp. in 2005 for $41.6 million, or $203 per square foot. The price set a high-water mark for Class A multitenant office space in the Indianapolis market.
The 47,000-square-foot River Crossing III opened in 2007. PK Partners called the building home until it moved to its new River North office building.
The company also sold the land on which the Indianapolis Marriott North Hotel was built in 1998.
And in 2010 it bought from Duke the office building along East 86th Street in front of the River Crossing Shops, called Five River Crossing.
PK Partners has turned the building into a mix of office and retail, attracting such tenants as Ocean Prime, Diamonds Direct and Dottie Couture. It was through that purchase that Larman met Podell, who was working for Duke at the time. He joined PK in 2013.
Oddly, there is no Four River Crossing. PK Partners opted instead for Walker Place at River North—named for tenant Walker Information—as the name of one of two office buildings in the new River North mixed-use development. The other, which PK Partners calls home, is simply called 8801 at River North.
The portfolio PK currently holds includes $200 million in development. Even so, the firm has just seven employees.

Mercedes Benz ML350 BlueTEC
What the Mercedes-Benz M-Class can do, and what it's actually used for, aren't always the same thing, but that's life for a luxury SUV. The M-Class possesses a degree of off-road ruggedness that most owners will never explore, instead choosing to treat it as a minivan replacement, hauling kids from school to soccer practice.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz M-Class offers many of the same comforts, infotainment, connectivity, and plush luxury features you'll find in the brand's top sedans, like the S-Class-as well as some features that help it standout against other utility vehicles.
The current M-Class looks more aggressive than past models, but without straying too far from the outward image too much. Inside, it's soft and sedan-like, with swooping curves and sculpted lines making up the instrument panels, center stack and the seven-inch display for the latest version of M-B's COMAND interface.
Seating in the M-Class is about on par with that in other luxury SUVs its size. Taller adults can sit in back, in the outboard positions, though it's still a bit of a squeeze to fit three across. Cushions are well contoured, and the front seats especially are like we expect from Mercedes, with all-day support built in. Rear seatbacks are also now adjustable for rake, and there's more than 36 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats. With the last generation of the ML, Mercedes made considerable advances in refinement and materials, bringing the cabin appointments and ride quality up to par with that of the brand's sedans. In this new third-gen version, it's even better—especially the way everything fits.
Although it does flaunt its off-road side in appearance, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz M-Class drives like a luxury sedan most of the time, with a smooth, refined character behind the wheel. Powertrains are strong and responsive; handling is secure; and roadholding is confident. The new 302-hp base V-6 engine in the M-Class, a 3.5-liter, 60-degree V-6, was completely new last year, and we think it's one of the best V-6 luxury engines. But we'd still go with the torquey, fuel-efficient BlueTEC turbodiesel V-6. The gasoline engines especially tend to work well in concert with the seven-speed automatic transmission, singing all the way up the rev range with no rough edges. ML550 models include a stronger, direct-injection 4.6-liter V-8 that makes 402 hp and 443 pound-feet of torque. And at the top of the range-and new for 2013-is the new ML 63 AMG, which comes with a 5.5-liter biturbo V-8 making 518 hp and 516 lb-ft. Other upgrades include five-spoke, 20-inch AMG wheels, and if you opt for the AMG Performance Package you'll have 550 hp and 560 lb-ft.
Some customers will still expect the off-road ability to be here, so Mercedes-Benz hasn't dumbed that down too much or lightened the M-Class' towing or basic trail ability. The 4MATIC system's electronic, stability-system-linked 4-ETS torque distribution can send nearly all engine torque to whichever single wheel can use it. The suspension is also remarkably versatile for a combination of on-road use or off-roading. Opt for the off-road package, and you get an automatically detaching roll-bar system. Towing capability is here, too-up to 7, 200 pounds, and at its best in torquey BlueTEC guise.
Some of those standouts include a heated or cooled cupholder that can heat up to 141 degrees F. And there's an iPad docking station—positioned between the front seats and in view for rear passengers—that will be available first in this product but will soon be available for all Mercedes-Benz models. A night-vision system is among the standalone options, as is an Advanced Park Assist system, which helps steer the vehicle back into a parallel-parking space as the driver controls the accelerator and brakes.

Over the years, accumulating evidence has demonstrated a strong correlation between physicochemical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and various diseases such as cancer metastasis and fibrotic pathogenesis. These emerging evidences establish that the ECM is not just a passive structural support as previously thought, but is rather an active modulator of cellular behaviors contributing to disease progression when negatively perturbed. However, a detailed understanding of the role of ECM signaling on cancer metastasis and fibrotic plaque formation and how this can be controlled for a therapeutic intervention is currently lacking. Paralleling our efforts in stem cell engineering, we are developing various platforms and systems to understand the role of physical constrains exerted by the ECM on cancer metastasis and fibrosis and the potential of using ECM as therapeutic target.
Tumor growth and metastasis: Metastatic dissemination of cancer cells is a key contributor to >90% of cancer-related mortality. Though metastasis involves multiple steps, the ability of cancer cells to break through the basement membrane and traverse through the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a crucial manifestation of cancer malignancy. Recent studies suggest that cancer cells can invade matrices in either a protease-independent or a protease-dependent manner. An emerging critical component that influences the mode of cell invasion is the physical properties of the ECM, which include porosity, alignment, and stiffness. We are developing in vitro platforms like single cell invasion assay, cancer-on-chip, tumor-associated microenvironment (TAM), etc. to study the role of ECM properties on protease mediated cancer cell migration and identifying the molecular pathways that contribute to MMP (e.g., MT1-MMP) trafficking responding to changes in the ECM. We are also employing these tools to study T cell infiltration into tumor and the role of TAM on cell recruitment.
Fibrosis: Fibrosis, the accumulation of excessive and disordered extracellular matrices (ECMs), is a pathological feature of many diseases leading to organ scarring and failure. Fibrosis affects most organs and contributes to approximately one third of natural deaths worldwide. Fibrosis appears to usurp a normal wound healing response in which fibroblast activation and deposition of a controlled amount of ECM and its remodeling are required for the proper repair of damaged tissues. An altered wound healing response, characterized by aberrant and sustained activation of fibroblasts, often leads to fibrosis. Although the underlying mechanisms are mostly unknown, altered physicochemical properties of the ECM has been considered as a contributor to fibrosis, rather than merely a manifestation of the disease. Employing transgenic mouse models and in vitro tools, we are examining the key molecular players that contribute to fibrogenesis using skin and lung as model systems.


The primary focus of any data center is the critical applications that form an enterprise's business and operational core—its commercial and technical heart. Last-generation facilities, which were often designed using traditional methods created during the mainframe era, simply aren't capable of handling the requirements of today's businesscritical applications. Additionally, deploying a data center with inadequate or inappropriate resources, or placing the facility in the wrong location, can negatively impact application performance and, in turn, enterprise success.
Today's CIO faces a host of challenges and new trends. Budgets are tight and in many cases decreasing. At the same time, IT is becoming more strategic as the amount of data created is exploding and the value of accessing that data in real time is continuously increasing. Much of this data must be mined and acted upon instantaneously while it is still of value, requiring the application of bigger and more powerful data centers.
Wideband Multimode Fiber – What is it and why does it makes sense?
Ponemon Institute and Emerson Network Power are pleased to present the results of the latest Cost of Data Center Outages study. Previously published in 2010 and 2013, the purpose of this third study is to continue to analyze the cost behavior of unplanned data center outages. According to our new study, the average cost of a data center outage has steadily increased from $505,502 in 2010 to $740,357 today (or a 38 percent net change).
In this report, we'll overview several alternative power configurations that improve overall cost and deployment speed while providing the availability levels required for this new generation.

Gallons of blood, surgical specimens, and the real-life doctor who prescribes The Knick's medicine
The Lady Aye
In the event of an extremely specific emergency, actors Clive Owen or André Holland might be able to stitch up your wounds and send you on your way. The technique would likely resemble that of the Victorian-era Knickerbocker Hospital—the eponymous setting of Cinemax's Emmy-winning drama The Knick—but they could do it. That's thanks in part to Dr. Stanley Burns, the show's eagle-eyed and exacting technical consultant. A New York-based ophthalmologist and historian, Burns' duties on The Knick extend from overseeing the proper tying-off of sutures to suggesting intriguing diseases as possible plot points.
Widely regarded as one of the world's premier collectors of antique photographs, material from his archives (along with his own personal expertise) has been seen in The Others, The Civil War, and exhibits at The Metropolitan Museum Of Art and the Musée D'Orsay. Burns became interested in collecting photographs after he used his training to discern a discrepancy between the description of a medical daguerreotype and what was actually depicted in the image. Struck by the possibility of photographs as historical documents, he began collecting with abandon. Since then, his archive has amassed "about a million" images. Explaining his love of photographic history, he tells The A.V. Club, "If you have a photograph then you have the truth of the event"—without photographic evidence, everything is subjective and accounts can be misleading. To wit, he jokes, "I don't want you to write that, when interviewed, Dr. Burns was wearing a clown suit." A photograph would instead depict him in a crisply ironed, pinstriped button-down.
Since 1975, the Burns Archive—which the doctor runs with the help of his equally thorough daughter, Elizabeth A. Burns—has preserved and categorized images that mainly focus on history, rather than images of pop-cultural or artistic significance. The collection covers the Civil War, medicine, crime, Victorian memorial images, African Americans, and Judaica. Of his esoteric tastes, Burns explains, "The purpose in collecting was to collect what you haven't seen and to collect unknown history and unknown photography." After gathering the materials, Burns began to arrange exhibits, write articles, and publish books—44 to date, including the groundbreaking Sleeping Beauty, which reintroduced Americans to the concept of postmortem memorial photos, particularly those of children. (The photograph of a child who dies in season one of The Knick is a direct recreation of a piece from the Burns Archive.) "It's become the norm of culture again. I was part of that," he says of memorial photography, adding that there are now charities devoted to helping mourning parents with the arrangements.
Burns was involved with the creation of The Knick before the first frame was even shot. At their initial meeting, "[producers] Steven Soderbergh, Michael Begler, and Jack Amiel came here and they had a pilot and they wanted to see what we had." The meeting went longer than planned, and the impressed creators came away with more ideas for plot twists based on the doctor's anecdotes and images. "From the first meeting, they had enough for 10 episodes for season one, and, of course, we've just been feeding them ideas since."
There was also the issue of building the world of the Knickerbocker Hospital and educating its staff. Set in the operating rooms and opium dens of 1900 New York, The Knick centers around that era's struggles for advances in medicine and social justice. The character-driven ensemble drama joins the ranks of period shows like Mad Men and Downton Abbey that similarly went to extraordinary pains to make sure everything from the characters' shoes to the day's weather were accurately reflected and visually accounted for. There, too, the Burns' intimate knowledge of the material has been pressed into service. "We work with the art department, we work with the props department, we work with the effects department," describes Elizabeth A. Burns of their roles as consultants. "We work with all of these different departments to help create the historic accuracy."
Instruments from the doctor's own collection have been used to create the scalpels used in The Knick's OR, and labels from his bottles mark the medications that are doled out in the wards (and by Clive Owen's self-medicating Dr. Thackery). It was important to the showrunners that the actors learned how to wield those tools of the trade, so each of the principal actors was given a crash course by the veteran surgeon in the basic procedures. "I taught them medical school, and it wasn't just like one day or two days," Burns describes. "I taught them until they knew how to tie, how to suture, how to do all the things that they had to do. If you watch it on screen, you can see how great they are." This is no minor detail, considering that surgery—and the operating room itself—are at the heart of the show's story arcs, so it's critical that every drop of blood and every incision be lifelike. "The models—the medical material—[that] is really where we did our most work. Our biggest job was to recreate surgical specimens that were realistic."
During shooting days, Burns has been on set for all surgery- and medical-related scenes: "Sometimes I would change the scene or add something to it to make it more realistic." The working relationship the doctor has forged with Oscar-winning director Soderbergh even allows Burns to occasionally interrupt a scene when he spies something historically inaccurate. On Burns' first day, Soderbergh let him stop the filming to rearrange the audience in the operating theater's gallery, a change intended to display the correct pecking order—senior staff in the front and younger residents in the back.
Burns is attuned to the finest of details, even going so far as to lay out the surgical trays to make sure they have the right instruments in the right order for the operation being filmed—a detail that probably goes unnoticed by the lay viewer, but has earned him praise in medical and historical circles. Like most behind-the-scenes showbiz veterans, he worried most about his own critics. He was relieved by their response to the show: "After the first few shows, I got great reviews from the surgical historians about how accurate it was."
The Knick isn't Burns' only ongoing TV project: Centering on his "first love," the Civil War, the Ridley Scott-produced public-television drama Mercy Street has also engaged the doctor's technical-advisor services. The first American drama to air on PBS in more than a decade, Mercy Street concerns the "socialization of nursing" inside a Virginia hospital circa 1862. Unable to offer any plot details ahead of the show's winter 2016 debut, Burns still reports the following: "It's accurate and I loved it." But not so accurate that it will bother viewers disturbed by The Knick's anatomical fidelity: "[It] is PBS, so there won't be five gallons of blood like there was on the first day of The Knick."
The Lady Aye appears onstage as "The Sweetheart Of The Sideshow," writes about pop culture from her native NYC, and would make a charming talk show guest. A thoroughly modern woman, she is also on the twitter at @theladyaye.


The Black T-68 is capable of handling up to 80W RMS and 160W peak, so you'll experience epic-levels of sonic bliss in 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1 setups. When purchased as a set of three, the T-68 in-wall LCR offers an excellent price/performance ratio and gives much higher priced high-fidelity speakers a run for the money.
The Black T-68 In-Wall LCR (left, right, center) speaker delivers shockingly natural high, mid and low frequency sound effects in a practically invisible in-wall design. Built for home theaters and media rooms where sound and aesthetics are critical, the T-68 is a 3-way in-wall LCR speaker that fills in the front stage of your surround sound audio system. Sold individually, these in-wall LCR speakers can be used as a center-channel speaker in a surround sound stereo system or as a right or left speaker in a high-end audio setup.
Designed with cutting-edge acoustic components, the T-68 features three 6.5" graphite mineral-filled cone woofers for deep and fulfilling bass impact as well as a 1" ceramic-coated aluminum dome tweeter for crystal-clear and distortion-free sound on the high end. For the critical midrange frequencies where dialog, effects, and instruments live, the Black T-68 includes a 6.5" graphite mineral-filled cone for a wide but well-defined sound stage. Adding to the audio perfection is a totally sealed enclosure with isolated internal chambers so you get the great sound of a high-end tower speaker in an in-wall design.

Why did Jimmy Wales, the cofounder of Wikipedia, an online compendium which includes the world's most detailed article on flim-flams, step down as CEO of Wikia, the for-profit website host which recently laid off some of its employees? The way Wales likes to tell the story, years later, he realized he was a free-flying entrepreneur, not an earthbound bureaucrat. So he hired Gil Penchina, a former eBay executive, to mind the shop. That's not what really happened. Wales was fired from his job as CEO by the company's investors.The cause? The same kind of expense-account hijinks that landed him in trouble at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit parent of Wikipedia. In 2006, Wales was courting Marc Bodnick, a cofounder of Silicon Valley private-equity firm Elevation Partners, in an effort to find a way to profit from Wikipedia, despite its nonprofit status and volunteer contributors. Bodnick and an assistant had traveled to St. Petersburg, Fla., where Wikimedia was then based. The talks went nowhere, but Wales, his wife, Bodnick, and Bodnick's assistant had a $1,300 meal at one of the city's finest restaurants. ($600 of the bill was spent on wine.) At that point, the Wikimedia Foundation had confiscated Wales's corporate card, so he paid for the meal himself. But he then sought to have it reimbursed by Wikia. Michael Davis, Wikia's chief operating officer, became enraged and reported the expense to Jeremy Levine, a Wikia board member and partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, which had invested $4 million into the company only a month before. Levine then told Wales he was fired as CEO, and found Penchina, who had already made a fortune at eBay. Wales must hate that: Every time he sees Penchina, he must ask himself, "Why is this guy rich and I'm not?" Penchina, meanwhile, must be asking why Wikia is still paying Wales a salary.

A month ago, Margaret Haart's husband left her for a college girl. A week ago, her father died in a car crash near his coastal Maine home. She has come to retrieve his dog and belongings, and stepped into a war for this strange little town's soul.
Revenge is a destroying fire.
In the morning light Margaret is drawn to a looming structure nearby: a decrepit mansion, where she finds Esther Brandt living alone, terrorized by local children and thinking she hears dead family members walking the halls at night. Esther is the last surviving member of her once-great family. She doesn't use electric lights, telephone or television because she believes herself to be an EMF hypersensitive, one who suffers pain in the presence of electromagnetic fields. And, she tells Margaret, she is under nightly attack by searing radiation of an unknown source.
Horrified by the old woman's mental state and plight, Margaret turns to the townspeople, only to find they have been ground to dust by Esther's long-dead father and his long-closed mill. The only person stepping up to help is Ruth, a brassy school teacher and the only local who came to Margaret's father's wake. Esther may be crazed, Ruth tells Margaret, but she is not crazy.
Atop the hill behind the Brandt estate, a 21st century robber-baron has begun night flights from a reactivated World War II airfield. High Ground Technologies is rushing to perfect an airborne laser weapon, launching test flights almost directly over the Brandt mansion on their way out to the skies above the North Atlantic.

Hi, Rick.
I know you've been interested in the impact of EMF invading our environment, and was wondering if you've run across any studies of the effects of all the radars emanating from our vehicles today. For example, my car (a 2018 Nissan Murano) has three radar units; one in front, and one each on left and right sides. Since those are aimed away from me (I assume), they don't concern me as much as radars on other vehicles aimed at me. Do you know of any investigations into this?
Having said all of that, I confess I have gotten to rely heavily on them, and feel the safety provided (particularly for older drivers like me) may outweigh any disadvantage.
Otherwise, hope all is going well.

T. I have not, though I have thought about it as a general further escalation of the electronic smog around us. The greatest buzz and concern is around 5G or the fifth generation of cell phone radio transceivers. While they are generally low power, in concept they will, when fully deployed, be freaking everywhere—and MUCH closer to us than cell phone towers which have a radius of around 3-4 miles or so. These require that they be mounted on virtually every corner light pole in the country. They are rolling forward unabated because their prime value is not cell phones, but autonomous vehicles and other emerging connected technology. In Australia and Europe, this is a hot topic. I've spoken to local political leaders here and they don't really know what I'm talking about. This freight train has left the station.
From your tech background, I'm sure it's occurred to you that, not only are those radars pointed away from you, but you are riding around in a Faraday cage when you are in a steel automobile. Pedestrians and people who spend time on busy streets will increasingly be painted by this radiation in a surging bath of EMR as vehicles equipped with this new tech become more common.
Remember the scene in Animal House when John Belushi's character "Bluto" is whipping up the brothers to fight back against the Dean's ban on their fraternity. "Give up?!!" he souted. "Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!!"
"Germans?" one brother asks incredulously.
"Forget it," Tim Matheson's character answers. "He's on a roll.'
5G is Bluto Blutarsky for the new century.

Q: How do you automate an application registration in Azure AD alongside permissions? I'm using New-AzureADApplication -DisplayName MyApp -PasswordCredentials $PasswordCreds (Password creds are defined elsewhere), which successfully creates the app registration (not enterprise app) alongside passkey without issue.
Where I'm failing is that I also have 5 graph application based permissions I want to add to this app including User.Read.All
I've tried to follow several answers on StackOverflow and read countless blogs, but, I'm simply failing at this. Some guides/answers seem to be out of date or when I run some examples, I'm getting about 6-8 different GUIDs for User.Read.All, and other answers just include the permission that the question answer was asking without explaining why/how.
I don't want an answer for User.Read.All, I really want to learn and understand how I can ultimately provide '-RequiredResourceAccess` the correct parameters when all I know is the permission name as above.

A: Here's the best example of doing this: https://github.com/mjisaak/azure-active-directory/blob/master/README.md#well-known-appids
because the graph app has a unique object id in your tenant, you need to get that ID first.
Get-AzureADServicePrincipal | Where-Object AppId -Match '\w{8}-\w{4}-\w{4}-c000'

this just matches a few to show you a bunch of system apps. You'll note that Microsoft Graph has a well known app id of 00000003-blabla. but you'll also see the Object ID, you take that object id. and you then query it for either all the oauth2permissions (Delegated) or the AppRoles (Application Permissions)
Delegated Permissions :
Get-AzureAdServicePrincipal -ObjectId ObjectIDyouFoundAbove |
    Select-Object -expand Oauth2Permissions |
    Select-Object Id, Value, AdminConsentDisplayName |
    Sort-Object Id

Application Permissions :
Get-AzureAdServicePrincipal -ObjectId AgainObjectIDYouFoundAbove |
  Select-Object -expand AppRoles |
  Select-Object Id, Value, DisplayName |
  Sort-Object Id

This will List the guids for the permissions.  Value is basically the read.user text. where as displayname is the description. ID is your Guid.

A: From looking through the web, you should be able to do the whole thing via Powershell, but it felt fairy convoluted and it did not work for me immediately. It might not be worth it unless you need to resolve these guids dynamically.
This did NOT work for me, but if you want to investigate, look at $sp = Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -SearchString "Microsoft Graph" and $sp.Oauth2Permissions (https://gcits.com/knowledge-base/automate-creation-azure-ad-applications-access-microsoft-graph-customer-tenants/).
This is what does work for me:
I usually just set up one app manually in the portal, and then have a look at the application manifest.
    "requiredResourceAccess": [
        {
            "resourceAppId": "00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000",
            "resourceAccess": [
                {
                    "id": "5b567255-7703-4780-807c-7be8301ae99b",
                    "type": "Role"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "resourceAppId": "00000002-0000-0000-c000-000000000000",
            "resourceAccess": [
                {
                    "id": "311a71cc-e848-46a1-bdf8-97ff7156d8e6",
                    "type": "Scope"
                },
                {
                    "id": "6234d376-f627-4f0f-90e0-dff25c5211a3",
                    "type": "Scope"
                }
            ]
        }
    ],

For actually setting the permissions, you probably already have the code. I will just include it for completeness' sake.

Great blog by Guy Kawasaki. In these kinds of times, you need to use all the weapons that you can, and one that many people don�t�or at least don�t use to the fullest extent, is LinkedIn.
1. Get the word out. Tell your network that you're looking for a new position because a job search these days requires the "law of big numbers" There is no stigma that you're looking right now, so the more people who know you're looking, the more likely you'll find a job. Recently, LinkedIn added "status updates" which you can use to let your network know about your newly emancipated status.
4. Find out where people at a company came from. LinkedIn "Company Profiles" show the career path of people before they began work there. This is very useful data to figure out what a company is looking for in new hires. For example, Microsoft employees worked at Hewlett-Packard and Oracle .
6. Check if a company is still hiring. Company pages on LinkedIn include a section called "New Hires" that lists people who have recently joined the company. If you have real chutzpah, you can ask these new hires how they got their new job. At the very least you can examine their backgrounds to surmise what made them attractive to the new employer.
7. Get to the hiring manager. LinkedIn's job search engine allows you to search for any kind of job you want. However, when you view the results, pay close attention to the ones that you're no more than two degrees away from. This means that you know someone who knows the person that posted the job—it can't get much better than that. (Power tip: two degrees is about the limit for getting to hiring managers. I never help friends of friends of friends.) Another way to find companies that you have ties to is by looking at the "Companies in Your Network" section on LinkedIn's Job Search page.
8. Get to the right HR person. The best case is getting to the hiring manager via someone who knows him, but if that isn't possible you can still use LinkedIn to find someone inside the company to walk your resume to the hiring manager or HR department. When someone receives a resume from a coworker even if she doesn't know the coworker, she almost always pays attention to it.
9. Find out the secret job requirements. Job listings rarely spell out entirely or exactly what a hiring manager is seeking. Find a connection at the company who can get the inside scoop on what really matters for the job. You can do this by searching for the company name; the results will show you who in your network connects you to the company. If you don't have an inside connection, look at profiles of the people who work at the company to get an idea of their backgrounds and important skills.
10. Find startups to join. Maybe this recession is God telling you it's time to try a startup. But great startups are hard to find. Play around with LinkedIn's advanced search engine using "startup" or "stealth" in the keyword or company field. You can also narrow by industry (for example, startups in the Web 2.0, wireless, or biotech sectors). If large companies can't offer "job security," open up your search to include startups.
