In September 2015, 14 two-year-old children were admitted to the junior II. Kindergarten did not attend early, taken from the family. In order to ensure early adaptation, as well as harmonious, cognitive and personal development, adaptation sheets were created for each child, in which the tutors record observations on the behavior of children during the day, week, month. As a result of these observations, we can conclude about the degree of adaptation for each child in the kindergarten.
Easy adaptation – 3 children (Dasha A., Sophia S., Stepan T.) who normally sleep, eat, do not refuse to contact peers, they themselves make contact. Children fulfill the speech demands of adults, instructions, manifest speech activity, participate in play activities.
The average degree of adaptation is 6 children (Maxim Z., Sophia K., Bogdan P., Ivan S., Sophia S., Sasha T.) There were pronounced disturbances in the general condition: tearfulness, indifference to children and adults, a short sleep, a long falling asleep, delayed speech activity, lack of appetite. But within a month there were signs of adaptation. Children have become easier to part with their parents, to eat with appetite, quickly fall asleep. Severe adaptation – 5 children (Yaroslav K., Julia K., Dmitry K., Victoria L., Victoria K.), who, when parting, cry a lot and for a long time, avoid children and caregivers, avoid, refuse to participate in any activities .
The main reasons for the severe adaptation of these children are: frequent diseases, weak nervous system, low level of self-care skills, lack of preparation for the regime and food in kindergarten (despite the recommendations), strong attachment to parents, lack of unity of requirements in raising a child.
– the presence of didactic games and manuals (cubes, mosaic, board-printed games, figurative didactic toys with fastening and sticking elements (zipper, buttons, lacing, buttons, stickies); – photos from the family album; – favorite children's toys brought from home ; – musical toys; – plot-shaped toys; – theatrical toys.
2. During the adaptation period, the caregivers of the group need to create a flexible day regimen, which will allow to take into account the individual characteristics of each child, the first days of advice to the mother to be with the baby so that he feels calmer.
3. During feeding, sleeping in a group, you can turn on calm music to relieve tension.
4. During the adaptation period, great attention should be paid to therapeutic and preventive work, for this purpose, in the group of caregivers, to conduct daily breathing exercises, hardening nasal breathing, after sleep sleep exercises.
5. Consultations, conversations and reminders for parents. If parents form their child's self-care skills, the ability to play and communicate with peers, if the home mode for the baby coincides with the kindergarten, then the adaptation period will be painless and short.
1. Organize a subject-spatial environment in a group that contributes to painless addiction to kindergarten: – the presence of didactic games and aids (cubes, mosaic, desktop-printed games, figurative didactic toys with buttoning and sticking elements (zipper, buttons, laces, buttons, stickies); – photos from the family album; – favorite toys of children brought from home; – musical toys; – plot-shaped toys; – theatrical toys.


Position:Home>General - Arts & Humanities > Anyone written a screenplay before, what's some major pointers?
and I before e except after c.
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Don't do anything STUPID!
I think the best thing to do is to check out other screen plays, which you can do on line! I've done it. You can get the screen play to almost any movie on line. I checked out Fight Club because I wanted to see how the writer gave directions for panning in and out of scenes and for the inner dialogue within Tyler Durden. Also, there is a set format for screen plays and you can get that also on line.
Go on. Get that screen play written. There's never enough movies.


What constellation is the earth in?
It depends where you are looking from. From our nearest neighbouring star (not counting the Sun) we would be in Cassiopeia.
Constellations are relative to the observer.
From the Alpha Centauri system (3 stars including Proxima Centauri a.k.a. Alpha Centauri C) our sun would appear as an extra star in the constellation of Cassiopeia.
From Barnard's star our sun would appear as a bright extra star in the constellation of Monoceros.

Northern California Earthquake Strikes Southern Cascadia Subduction Zone
10 March 2014, 05:18 UTC (10:18 pm local time) a magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck the southern end of Cascadia subduction zone. The epicentre location of the earthquake was about 50 km west of the California coast. During the subsequent few hours many aftershocks followed in the same area (see map).
This map shows the location of the main shock and aftershocks at the Mendocino Triple Junction between the North America, Pacific and Gorda tectonic plates.
Ocean Networks Canada's NEPTUNE observatory is about 900 km to the north, and its seismometers in Cascadia Basin, Barkley Canyon and Clayoquot Slope recorded the powerful main shock as well as some of the larger (up to magnitude 4.6) aftershocks about 2 minutes after the event (see seismic recordings below).
NEPTUNE seismic recordings of the 10 March 2014 earthquake. Three components, North (HHN), East (HHE) and Vertical(HHZ) of 3 seismometers show the various earthquake signals arriving at different times. The top 3 traces were recorded by the ocean bottom seismometer in Cascadia Basin; the second set of 3 traces are from the Barkley Canyon seismometer and the lowest 3 traces are from the seismometer at Clayoquot Slope The green bar indicates the origin time of the main shock; about 2 minutes later the fast travelling P-waves (indicated by the red bars) arrive at the NEPTUNE stations, and almost 2 minutes later the S-waves arrive (indicated by the yellow bars), immediately followed by low-frequency surface wave shaking. About 10 minutes after the main shock, high frequency water sound arrives, as clearly visible in the top two panels. (Click to enlarge.)
The southern end of the Cascadia subduction zone terminates at the northern end of the San Andreas fault, meeting at the Mendocino triple junction between three tectonic plates, the North American plate in the east, the Pacific plate in the south, and the Gorda plate to the north. The San Andreas fault zone compensates mostly the lateral motion between the North American and the Pacific plate, whereas the Cascadia subduction thrust fault takes up the motion of the Juan de Fuca plate going down (subducting) below North America.
The 10 March earthquake occurred at a depth of around 16.6 km, and its fault mechanism was taking up mostly lateral motion from the interplay between the Pacific and the Gorda plate. It was not a subduction thrust earthquake and therefore did not generate any tsunami. However, as every earthquake redistributes tectonic stresses in the area (hence the many aftershocks), we will keep an extra eye out for any other seismicity in that region.

Try AVRE for a 2023 Active Real Estate ETF
Nick Peters-GoldenDec 22, 2022
With so much uncertainty looming in the markets, investors may be considering defensive plays to give them some cover entering the new year. Whether current income or exposure to the largest, low-vol cap firms, there are a variety of approaches available for the more cautious investors out there, but one to consider could be an active real estate ETF like the Avantis Real Estate ETF (AVRE ).
REITs didn't have the easiest of years in 2022, with the sharp spike in interest rates making it harder for REITs to add new debt. Overall, the rate hikes have seen real estate struggle versus the broader market for 2022.
However, demand for housing remains high, and residential REITs in particular could stand out. One firm that has been rocked by the up-and-down few years is Prologis, Inc. (PLD), which saw 97.7% occupancy as of the third quarter of 2022. Add in that the firm was able to up its rent on renewable leases by about 60% over the quarter and one can see a case for an investment in real estate therein.
AVRE, from American Century's Avantis Investors brand, holds PLD at 6.6%, its largest weight. The strategy actively invests in real estate stocks around the world, including REITs and REIT-like companies in its index, the S&P Global REIT Index. The index considers a firm a real estate company if it derives at least 50% of its revenues from real estate-related work.
AVRE, which charges 17 basis points, has seen net inflows of $64 million over one month and $13.6 million over just the last five days, according to VettaFi, compared to $258 million over one year. The active real estate ETF launched just over one year ago, in September 2021, and currently holds $241 million in AUM.
Real estate is certainly in flux right now with the Fed still intent on raising rates. But real estate remains one of the options for defensively minded investors, and for those who think that REITs can still play a role, AVRE is one ETF that merits watching in the weeks and months ahead.

Brown Grand launches effort to replace seats
The Brown Grand Opera House, Inc. is proud to announce a capital campaign to replace the 93-year-old seats in our historical Theatre. The current seats were donated from Bethany College and installed at the Brown Grand in 1980. At which point, the seats were already over 50 years old, and have now been a part of the Brown Grand for nearly 40 years.
Established in 1907, the Brown Grand is the largest arts and culture venue in North Central Kansas. With a vision to embrace the 21st century performance experience while preserving the historic theatre atmosphere, our goal is to have 477 new seats installed by September 2020. As the current seats are not original to the building, we aim to match the original 1907 style as closely as we can with the new seats. With this renovation in mind, the Board of Directors has also decided to return the second balcony to its original bench-style seating and place the 477 new seats in the orchestra and first balcony levels only – which are most commonly used.
Each year, the Brown Grand hosts over 7,500 audience members. The 2018-2019 season has welcomed patrons from Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri. Because our audiences travel from great distances, we constantly see the need to make the Theatre more welcoming and more comfortable. Executive Director, Jason Grogan states, "There was only a 0.5% grade slope on the floor at Presser Hall (Bethany College), and we have a 10% grade slope at the Brown Grand, which made the seats forward tilting when they were installed at the Brown Grand." By having comfortable seating, we believe more patrons will be interested in attending a wider variety of events and performances at the Theatre.
The Board of Directors has established a subcommittee, chaired by Melissa Williamson, to execute this project. Board Chair, Monte Wentz said, "Melissa has been on the Board for over one year and she holds a master's degree in Arts Administration from Boston University. She also has many years of fundraising experience, and we are thrilled to have her leading us through this process."
You can play your part and help us "Seat the Next Generation" of arts goers by making a tax-deductible gift to support this project. Please call the Brown Grand at 785-243-2553 and speak with Executive Director, Jason Grogan. You can also visit us online at www.browngrand.org to make a secure contribution, or mail a donation to The Brown Grand Opera House, Inc., 310 W. 6th Street, Concordia, KS 66901. The old seats will also be for sale, if you are interested in keeping a piece of history from the Brown Grand, please contact Jason. We hope you will join us for upcoming performances at the Brown Grand soon!

New mental health clinic opens in North Vancouver
News	by Kevin McMullin November 8, 2017 November 9, 2017
Foundry looks to change the lives of youth and how mental health is treated in the province
Kevin McMullin // Contributor
Midterms and final exams, for many students, are the worst. The pressure of performing well can make students feel overwhelmed and panicked, and despite the varied programs available at Capilano University, each comes with its own set of exams, projects and stresses. Mental health issues are on the rise among youth and counselling services are more in demand than ever.
Located at 211 West 1st Street on lower Lonsdale Avenue, Foundry is North Vancouver's newest and one-of-a-kind youth mental health resource centre. The clinic had its open house in September and staff invited the public to view the facility, where they provide the opportunity for youth to talk to a counsellor or a youth worker to help manage stress and create a healthy school-work-life balance.
Yvana Avram, a 19-year-old peer youth navigator, has been involved in the mental health community for over three years. She helps youth navigate the system at Foundry and connect with any resources they may need. Avram is also there for emotional support for youth because all of the navigators have personal experience and are there to listen without judgement. She started volunteering in high school because she struggled with depression and general anxiety. She was selected by the STEPS program, which is supported and funded by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). She also volunteered with the CMHA and was an advocate for mental health awareness before she began working at Foundry in August.
Foundry is a one-stop shop for youth wellness, seeing as there are not only therapists and counsellors at the facility, but doctors, nurses, youth workers and youth peer navigators. A client never has to redirect to another facility if they need both a counsellor and a doctor.
In most private clinics, a 50-minute counselling session can cost anywhere between $60 and $150, but Foundry provides these services for free for youth between 12 and 24 years old. Their services include drop-in counselling, peer support for youth and mental health counselling. They also have parent navigators, a medical clinic, substance use counselling, Intensive Youth Outreach Services (iYOS), which is urgent response or intensive case management, family counselling and even more programs to help students and non- students alike.
Avram provides support for youth and directs them to appropriate specialists in the building or the program. "I really hope that we become more well known in our community and more well known in schools so that youth know that where ever they are at, they can always come in," she said. "They don't have to be in crisis, they don't have to meet any qualifications to get in… they can just come in where ever they are at and we will meet them where ever they are at."
Foundry North Vancouver hopes to serve between 1,200-2,500 youth this year.
"Trust yourself," Avram recommended. "If you feel like you have some kind of mental health issue or are struggling with anything, it can be even something as simple as going through a breakup, or if you are really distressed you can come in and talk to someone. You don't need to have a formal diagnosis, there is no criteria, you don't need a referral, and everything is confidential unless we feel you are going to harm yourself."
Mental health is a growing problem among students and youth. School can be stressful and leave students feeling tired, anxious and mentally or physically exhausted. According to the CMHA, one in seven youth in BC will experience some form of a mental health issue at some point, 50 to 70 per cent of them will experience it before the age of 18.
If you or someone you know is struggling or seems to be struggling, Foundry's doors are always open to those who need help. Foundry could change how mental health issues are treated and perceived, and it's easily accessible. Foundry provides support and healing to those in need, and hopes to lift the stigma commonly associated with mental health issues.
If you require immediate crisis assistance: Please dial 310-6789 (no area code is required) to connect to the B.C. mental health crisis line, which operates 24 hours a day. For medical emergencies call 9-1-1.

The Case for Energy Conservation: Commercial Property, Industrial Sector and Domestic Level by Lou Theodore
ON A BROADWAY MUSICAL PLAY
I was always in love with the music of the 1950s and 1960s. And suddenly, it came to me a few weeks ago while watching an advertisement on the great love songs of the past. I thought: How about a musical play on the great music of the 1950s and 1960s era? After some thought, I decided to put together an outline for a Broadway play concerning the musical hits of that period, focusing on (but not limited to) country plus rock and roll music. And, that is what this piece is all about…a Broadway play titled: The Music of the 1950s and 1960s Revisited.
In terms of introduction, music is the organized movement of sounds through a continuum of time. It plays a role in all societies and exists in a large number of styles, each with special characteristics. Music is generally used to accompany other activities, e.g., dance. The association of music and poetry is so close that language and music are widely believed to have had a common origin in early human history.
A musical play of theatrical music involves vocal and instrumental music forming a part of a theatrical presentation. The music may be restricted to the background, as in most television productions, or it may be the principal focus, as in opera or a musical play. Thus, a musical theatrical production is one in which songs and choruses, instrumental accompaniments, and interludes are integrated. It can also include dance and a dramatic or comedic plot. The genre developed and was refined during the first half of the 20th century, particularly in the theaters along Broadway in New York City. The musical has origins in a variety of 19th century theatrical sources, including the operetta, comic opera, pantomime, the minstrel show, vaudeville, and burlesque. In 1913, the composer Jerome Kern began to produce a series of shows in which all the varied elements of a musical were integrated into a single fabric. This old musical formula began to change and new American musical elements, such as jazz and blues, were utilized by composers; in addition, singers began to learn how to act.
In the late 1920s, satire, ideas, and wit had been the province of the intimate revue. These and other innovations altered the familiar face of musical theater forever. Although the changes have been rapid, startling, and at some times confusing since that time, the music of the 1950s and 1960s have somehow managed to survive the relentless passage of time and the dynamics of not only the latter half of the last century but also the present century. However, from earliest times, most theatrical performances were accompanied by music that was produced solely by live musicians.
Regardless of the type or complexity of a production, all theater performances – including musicals–also have similar requirements. For a small, noncommercial production, most of these requirements may be met by two or three people; a Broadway show however requires dozens. The staff may be divided into administrative, creative (or artistic), and technical personnel. The administrative group includes the producer, box office and publicity personnel, and front-of-house staff (house manager, ushers, and others responsible for the audience). The artistic staff consists of the director, designers, performers, and, if applicable, playwright, composer, librettist, choreographer, and musical director. Technical personnel include the stage manager, technical director, and various construction and operating crews, all working backstage.
The director and cast of modern productions generally rehearse from two to six weeks. If a new play is being rehearsed, as in the case of musicals, songs and dances may be added or dropped; the choreographer rehearses the dancers, and the musical director rehearses the singers. Lighting design, a more ephemeral art, has two functions: to illuminate the stage and the performers, plus to create mood and control the focus of the spectators.
On to the musical itself. Keep in mind that I am not a producer or director, and have attended only 15 (my best guess) Broadway plays and 5 (my best guess again) off-Broadway plays. Most have been of a musical variety. My first play was Grease and remember becoming mesmerized on entering the theatre and hearing the piped-in music prior to the play. I also remember Dream Girls and Jersey Boys. Interestingly for me, the plot never came into "play"; it was strictly the music. Based on all of this, here is what I've come up with for a Broadway play on the music of the 1950s and 1960s.
Three things come into mind: the music/score, the singers/musicians, and the presentation/production. Each are detailed below.
The Music/Score: The music would be primarily based on the hit songs of the 1950s and 1960s. Here are some of my favorites:
California Girls
Johnny B. Good
ShBoom
Whole Lotta Lovin' Going On
All My Lovin'
Some, but not all, of the above would be part of the play for a given night, details of which are provided in Presentation/Production section.
The Singers/Musicians: This should consist of a 5-10 person band with excellent singers and music playing abilities. A no-name group – that are true fans of the songs of the 1950s and 1960s – would be preferred. At a minimum, the band would consist of a drummer, guitarist, keyboard player, violinist and horn. The band members would be male but a female singer/musician would be a plus. Other musicians could also be included in the band.
The Presentation/Production: Here is what I envision for a typical performance. The band opens up with a medley of 5 or more country music songs from the past. This would be followed by ACT I which would consist of 15 songs selected randomly by the Director from a list of 75 hits of the 1950s and 60s, almost all from a different artist. The 75 songs would initially be selected by the Director. Each song would be preceded by a short one-minute commentary on the songwriter and/or singers. ACT II would follow after a 15-minute break. This last act would consist of 10 songs that would be randomly selected by the audience. The play would conclude with another medley of songs of a rock-and-roll variety. The band would have to rehearse all songs early during the production stage of the play.
The aforementioned 15 songs would be randomly selected from the "bank" of 75 songs for each performance. Songs would also be randomly selected from the 60 songs that were not selected that previous evening for the following (next) performance. The next performance would then be selected from the remaining 45 songs. Etc. Etc. The cycle would therefore be repeated after every five performances, being careful that the songs are randomly selected each night and each cycle.
The ACT II songs would be selected by the audience each night on entering the theatre from the 60 songs remaining in the pool of songs not included in ACT I for that evening. The selections from the audience would be computerized, with the results of the top 10 choices determined during ACT I and the break. These songs would then constitute the 10 songs for ACT II that night.
The opening (prologue) and closing (epilogue) melodies would be the same each night.
A typical performance could consist of the following:
INTRODUCTION: Lead member of band
OPENING MELODY (COUNTRY MUSIC; my selections)
Someday Soon (my favorite)
Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue
Lyin' Eyes
These would be selected from the pool of 75 songs. For example, the 15 selected earlier could be chosen.
INTERLUDE/BREAK (15 minutes)
You pick them.
CLOSING MELODY (ROCK-AND-ROLL; my selections)
Sweet Caroline (audience participation)
CLOSING REMARKS: Lead member of band
Finally, three points need to be made. First, I must inform the reader that I have never written a song, sung a song professionally, played a musical instrument, written a play, or understand the various ramifications associated with a musical play. Second, each performance would be different and thus could be attended numerous times by a theater-goer. (This is similar to Louie Prima's shows in Las Vegas where – due to Prima's insanity – the audience was treated to a different show every night.) Third, the above outline and details of the proposed musical play are dynamic in nature and could be "tweaked", e.g., more or less selections, elimination of random selections, different musical categories, and any potential and/or special accommodations to the performers, audience, societal interests and problems, etc.

Q: how to make a box reach the edge of a bigger box javascript beginner here! so i'm trying to do a box(that is inside a larger box) move from the top to the edge of the box. Here's the code:

var boxcont = document.getElementById("boxcont");
var boxbtn = document.getElementById("boxbtn");

boxbtn.addEventListener("click", function() {
  var loc = 0;
  var timebox = setInterval(boxmove, 5);
  function boxmove() {
    if (loc == 320) {
      clearInterval(timebox);
    } else {
      loc++;
      boxcont.style.top = loc + "px";
      boxcont.style.left = loc + "px";
    }
  }
});
#movebox {
  width: 300px;
  height: 350px;
  background-color: grey;
}
#boxcont {
  width: 30px;
  height: 30px;
  background-color: indianred;
  position: relative;
}

<button id="boxbtn">Move the box</button>

The problem is that the small box doesn't exactly ends up at the edge, it goes more to the right. I tried doing
boxcont.style.left = (loc - 0.5) + "px";

but doesn't work. pretty sure the solution is simple but as a newbie here it's confusing me :p. Oh and i also tried doing ++ to the 0.5 and Number(0.5) so it reads it as a decimal but still doesn't work!

A: the big gray box is not set to the correct height and width that corresponds with the small red box's movement. You have it going down 1 and to the right 1 every 5 however, your actually going across a rectangle, not a square. set your width and height the same for the gray box and slightly adjust the stopping point to a little bit less.

                var boxcont = document.getElementById("boxcont");
                var boxbtn = document.getElementById("boxbtn");

                boxbtn.addEventListener("click", function() {
                var loc = 0;
                var timebox = setInterval(boxmove, 5); // every five milliseconds
                function boxmove() {
                    if (loc == 290) {
                    clearInterval(timebox);
                    } else {
                    loc++;
                    boxcont.style.top = loc + "px";
                    boxcont.style.left = loc + "px";
                    }
                }
                });

                #movebox {
                    width: 300px;
                    height: 350px;
                    background-color: grey;
                }
                #boxcont {
                    width: 30px;
                    height: 30px;
                    background-color: indianred;
                    position: relative;
                }

                <button id="boxbtn">Move the box</button>

A: if (loc == 270) {

instead of
if (loc == 320) {

Gets you there.
300px is the width of the containing div and the moving div is 30px wide so 300-30=270px

var boxcont = document.getElementById("boxcont");
var boxbtn = document.getElementById("boxbtn");

boxbtn.addEventListener("click", function() {
  var loc = 0;

Scars of Racism
31 Jul 2019 CONTAINERS
Featuring: Travis Fox
Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and PSC-CUNY
Scars of Racism seeks to document the lasting physical reminders of racism on the American landscape. The legacy of racism exists throughout our society–in culture, language, and economics. With these photos I'm attempting to highlight how institutional racism of the past is present today.
In the last several years, there has been substantial reporting about how discriminatory housing policy fueled the massive wealth gap that exists today. White families' wealth is as much as ten times higher than that of African-American families.
The project is also an exploration of how we observe. Compositionally, shooting from a few hundred feet directly above, decades of history fuse together to become a flattened plane, the abstract details of the past scratched onto roofs, streets, and sidewalks.
In turn, the act of viewing these images becomes an active questioning of the image. For a moment we are at a loss visually, with no sense of perspective, scale, or recognition other than the fragmented clues of marks on a landscape. The images challenge the brain and require us to look more carefully. In doing so, it prompts us to consider our relationship not only to the unfamiliar landscape, but to our history as well.
Travis Fox is an aerial photographer and the Director of Visual Journalism at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York (CUNY).
In his role at the J-School, he oversees the Photojournalism, Documentary, Broadcast and Web Video programs. He also teaches the only Drone Journalism course on the East Coast.
Before drones and academia, Fox was recognized for helping establish a new form of video storytelling on the Internet. His short films for The Washington Post and FRONTLINE were described by Studio 360's Kurt Andersen as "ambitious, subtle, tough, and remarkably beautiful." Legendary television producer Tom Bettag adds: "extraordinary, sensitive and insightful."
In 2006, Fox received the first Emmy Award presented to a web video producer. He was also the first and only person to win both the Editor of the Year and Videographer of the Year awards from the White House News Photographers Association. He has won dozens of National Press Photographers Association and Pictures of the Year International awards, and has been nominated for a total of eight Emmys.

The sweet, floral and herbal scent of lavender blends smoothly with the sweet and spicy licorice-like scent of anise. Exotic and familiar at the same time, this makes a lovely change from traditional lavender soap.
Made with: Organic coconut oil, organic olive oil, organic palm oil, organic sunflower oil, castor oil, and essential oils of French lavender and anise.


Moment of truth: Is the 'food movement' for real — or just talk?
The broader community of folks who eat food — all of us, more or less — don't clearly see the connection between policy and plate and so pay little attention to federal action. Our interests are largely lost because there's little in the way of political reward for serving the silent. Expecting Obama to change that because he read a magazine article is a sucker's bet. Obama's picks are traditional because he's a rational politician, and he's subject to the same incentives all politicians are subject to. The answer isn't in better, or more enlightened, politicians. It's in changing the surrounding political incentives. People who want farm policy to become food policy need to find ways to become louder.
The food companies understand the importance of this moment as well as, if not better than, the proposition's supporters, and Big Food is flooding the airwaves with a torrent of advertising in hopes of drowning out the activists. Led by Monsanto's $7 million donation, opponents of Prop 37 have spent over $34 million in an ad blitz that has been effective, if not exactly accurate. According to one survey, support for the proposition has dropped from 61-25 in favor of the measure a few weeks ago, to a mere 48-40 in favor now.
You'd think Big Food might have been able to come up with a slightly more reputable front man.
Pollan lists a number of the other successes of the food movement so far, including the rise in farmers markets and regional agriculture and the collapse of the company that made pink slime. But real and enduring change won't happen until there are electoral consequences for acting against the food movement's interests.
Bridget Huber makes a complementary argument in a recent Nation investigation into the successes and shortcomings of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign*. In short, Michelle Obama started strong with a surprisingly aggressive speech to food companies about the need to make significant changes to tackle the problems of childhood obesity. She followed that up with what advocates and insiders agree was a game-changing role in helping pass the biggest reform to the school lunch program in decades.
The industry saw the guidelines as a precursor to regulation. After the first draft was released for public comment in April 2011, the industry released a report that said the guidelines would kill 75,000 jobs. The US Chamber of Commerce said the standards reflected "an unhealthy federal intention and impulse to ban free speech." Food companies began a lobbying and spending frenzy that convinced nearly a third of the Senate and 40 percent of the House to write letters to federal agencies criticizing the proposed rules, according to an analysis of congressional correspondence by the Sunlight Foundation. Food and media companies also pleaded their case at the White House: logs examined by Reuters showed that top executives from Nestlé, Kellogg, General Mills and the media companies Walt Disney, Time Warner and Viacom (which owns Nickelodeon) visited the White House together in July 2011.
And who can blame them? The food industry believes in "shock and awe" when it comes to lobbying — as Reuters detailed in its investigation into food lobbying spending back in the spring. The news agency found that the industry had spent $175 million since 2009 lobbying federal officials against marketing restrictions. Outgunned doesn't begin to describe the status of advocacy groups in that fight.
And when industry turns its attention to "lobbying" the general public, as is currently the case with Prop 37 in California — and will likely soon be the case with New York City's large-size soda ban — it can clearly be just as effective.
That's why turning the food movement into a political movement is so important. If they speak loudly enough, but more importantly, carry a big stick, activists and eaters can go head-to-head with even the most powerful of industries. Just ask Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), who managed to pass financial reform in 2010 — despite an army of bank lobbyists working feverishly against it — due in large part to the fury of voters.
But what, to date, has been the upside for politicians interested in opposing the food industry? Nada.
Over the last four years I've had occasion to speak to several people who have personally lobbied the president on various food issues, including G.M. labeling, and from what I can gather, Obama's attitude toward the food movement has always been: What movement? I don't see it. Show me.
The same sentiment has been ascribed to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who is rumored to be generally supportive of reform. Become a true electoral movement and the USDA will be there to support it, Vilsack has more or less told advocates in the past.
Huber and Pollan come to the same conclusion: Without proven political power, i.e. the literal or figurative "people taking to the streets" phenomenon a political movement needs to flex its muscles, real reform will fizzle out.
That's why Prop 37 matters so much. As with many a California referendum, it has the potential to provide a much-needed jolt to those who want to change what we eat nationwide. And just like the presidential campaign, it will be up to a relatively small group of voters to decide. So, California: What's it going to be?

World America 16 Sep 2016 Video: For those who ...
World, America
Video: For those who were wondering how Trump's hair looks messed up
Published Sep 16, 2016, 2:20 pm IST
Updated Sep 16, 2016, 3:08 pm IST
Comedian Jimmy Fallon mussed Trump's hair with a vigorous, repeated rub when the latter appeared in his late night show.

Washington: Donald Trump's hair - a crusty, complex, yellowish affair that has become one of the enigmas of a very weird US presidential race - got messed with big time on Thursday.
The usually brash presidential candidate talked in subdued tones and played the good sport as he appeared on one of America's most popular late-night broadcasts, "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."
Fallon did his very popular impression of Trump's speaking style, ribbed him right and left and concluded his interview with a request.
"Can I mess up your hair?" Fallon said.
The comic explained that this might be the last time he could ask to do something unpresidential with Trump, lest he win election in November against Hillary Clinton. The crowd went nuts over the idea. Trump grinned and agreed.
Fallon reached out with his right hand and mussed Trump's hair with a vigorous, repeated rub. The Republican nominee endured it with a broad smile.
Trump, 70, has an elaborate hair-do centered on what seems to be an ambitious comb-over.
Nothing fell off with Fallon's intervention but the result was not very pretty as Trump's long locks ended up pointing messily every which way.
On other matters, Fallon christened what he called Trump's "bromance" with Vladimir Putin as "Vlump", and asked him about his penchant for eating fast food.
"At least you know what you're getting," Trump said. He added that if he went to an unknown place, "If they don't like me, I don't know. I'm better off with fast food."
Fallon also thanked Trump for providing what he described as grist for so much comic material. "You say some shocking things," Fallon said.
"But I'm trying not to anymore," Trump replied.

Q: Optimal control- Chain problem differential equations I'm trying to solve the following exercise:
Find the minimum of
$$J(x)=\int_{t_0}^{t_f} x(t)(1+\dot x(t)^2)^{\frac{1}{2}} \,dt $$
if $x(t_0)=x_0,x(t_f)=x_f$ and the length of the curve satisfies this equation
$$ \int_{t_0}^{t_f}(1+\dot x(t)^2)^{\frac{1}{2}} \, dt =\ell$$
My work so far is (using Lagrange multipliers:
I defined the functional
    $$F_a(t,(x,z),(\dot x,\dot z),p)=x(1+\dot x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}+p[\dot z - (1 + \dot x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}] $$
where
$$z(t)=\int_{t_0}^t (1+\dot x(t)^2)^{\frac{1}{2}} \, dt, z(t_0)=0, z(t_f) = \ell.$$
So we have:
$$\frac{\partial F_a}{\partial x}-\frac{d}{dt} \frac{\partial F_a}{\partial \dot x}=0 \Leftrightarrow (1+\dot x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}=0 \tag 1 $$
$$\frac{\partial F_a}{\partial z}-\frac{d}{dt} \frac{\partial F_a}{\partial \dot z}=0 \Leftrightarrow \dot p =0 \tag 2$$
$$\frac{\partial F_a}{\partial p}-\frac{d}{dt} \frac{\partial F_a}{\partial \dot p}=0 \Leftrightarrow \dot z =(1+\dot x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}} \tag 3$$
How should I proceed from here on??


Interview is the final and most critical step in the selection process. However, interviewing is seen as a subjective process prone to errors. Cost of selecting a wrong candidate is high; cost of not selecting a deserving candidate is equally great.
Today, the art and science of Interviewing has developed considerably. Traditional interviewing is now replaced by Competency Based Behavioural Interviewing. CBBI helps you to select the right candidate and prevents wrong hiring.
CBBI is used for matching the qualities and skills of the interviewee with the clear definition of competencies required for the position. The extent to which the candidate possesses those competencies is inferred from the analysis of the behaviour of the candidate in different situations.
A Competency Based Behavioural Interview is a structured and well-designed event free from individual biases.
On completion of the program, the participant will be able to conduct Competency Based Behavioural Interviews.
16. Psychometric Testing as aid to Selection Decision.
18. Implementing Behavioural Interviewing in the Organization: A Blueprint.
Experiential exercises, Self-assessment questionnaires, role-plays, Video based feedback, skill practice exercises.
Venue: Training House, B – 41, Qutub Institutional Area, New Delhi 110016.
This faculty team has conducted Competency Based Behavioural Interviewing as Public Programs where participants from TATA Bluescope Steel, Punj Llyod, VSNL Internet Services, NTPC,Varun Beverages, SMS Demag, MTNL etc. have participated.

Research in the Xu laboratory focuses on plant and microalgal lipid metabolism. By applying state-of-the-art approaches in genetics, biochemistry, cellular biology, synthetic biology and biotechnology, we aim to address both fundamental and applied questions in the field. The major research objectives in our research group are to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying acyl lipid assembly (e.g. triacylglycerols/oils, galactolipids/photosynthetic membrane lipids, phospholipids/membrane lipids) in photosynthetic organisms and to design lipid biosynthetic pathways to improve agriculture production and produce value-added oils for food, feed, fuel, and materials applications.

Healthy gut microbiota can be disrupted due to antibiotic treatment, intestinal inflammation, or changes in diet. Targeted restoration of the microbiota will require an understanding of how genomic diversity between closely related microbes influences their ability to drive beneficial functions. To address this, our laboratory will use a large collection of whole-genome sequenced isolates to understand how variation between closely related gut isolates alters their ability to prevent pathogen expansion and maintain homeostatic interactions with the mucosal immune system.
Siavash Vahidi
A key focus of the group is on the protein degradation machinery that helps to maintain proper level of proteins (protein homeostasis) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of TB, the world's single largest infectious killer that is annually responsible for 1.5 million deaths. The questions we aim to answer are:
1) What is the assembly mechanism of the M. tuberculosis proteasome core particle and its regulatory particles?
2) What is the role of allostery and long-range interactions in the machinery that tags substrates for proteasomal degradation?
3) How are substrates selected for tagging and degradation?
4) What is the molecular basis of antibiotics that operate by disrupting proteasomal protein degradation?
George van der Merwe
We study the transcriptomic and proteomic adaptation of yeasts to changing nutrient environments, as well as their domestication and fermentation to better understand yeast performance and potentially develop strategies and predictions of fermentation efficiencies and flavour compound production during alcoholic fermentations. We also look at yeast diversity and the unique flavour compounds that could expand product diversity in the wine, beer and cider industries.
Terry Van Raay
Many of the signaling pathways that are involved in development are also involved in the onset and progression of disease. As an example, the Wnt signaling pathway is required during many stages of development and in the homeostasis of stem cells in the adult. Perturbation of this pathway in stem cells in the adult often leads to cancer. It is now known that greater than 90% of colorectal cancers are caused by mutations in the Wnt signaling pathway. As this pathway is important for both proper development and disease, I am curious to know how this pathway can turn it self on and off so many times during development and why it fails to turn off in disease. The lab focuses on two negative feedback regulators of Wnt signaling: Nkd1 and Axin2.
John Vessey
My research focuses on asymmetric RNA localization and localized translational control in animal species. I have also studied asymmetric RNA localization in neural stem cells and their contribution to both cellular differentiation and cortical development across species. Currently, my students and I are investigating various proteins that we think are important for RNA regulation during brain development.
Chris Whitfield
Research in my laboratory is focused on the architecture and assembly of the cell surfaces of pathogenic bacteria. Current areas of emphasis are:
1) Structure and function of multi-enzyme complexes required for the export of capsular polysaccharides through the periplasm and across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.
2) Structural basis for substrate recognition by ABC transporters involved in the export of bacterial cell-surface polysaccharides.
3) Structure and function studies of prokaryotic glycosyltransferase enzymes.
4) Mechanisms that couple glycan biosynthesis and chain extension to transport pathways.
Baozhong Meng
The ultimate goal of my research is to understand viruses and viral diseases for the betterment of agriculture. Our research involves a number of important viruses that infect plants, which include Grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV), a ubiquitous and important pathogen of grapes worldwide. Current research directions include: Processing and subcellular localization of polyproteins; structure and cellular localization of viral replication complexes; evolution and bio-informatics of grapevine viruses; development of virus-induced gene-silencing vectors ; and, development and application of technologies for the diagnosis of grapevine viruses.
Annette Nassuth
My research group investigates biotic and abiotic stress on plants at the cellular and sub-cellular biochemical and molecular levels. The objective is to identify what changes occur in plant cells upon exposure to stress and which of these changes aid the plant to increase its tolerance to the stress.A major focus currently is the investigation of freezing stress tolerance in grapevines. Winters in Ontario can cause substantial damage to the cultivated grapes used in the Wine Industry, whereas wild grapes have no problems. We try to find out what the molecular basis is for this phenomenon. The ultimate goal is to use this knowledge to improve freezing and drought stress tolerance in the cultivated grapes.
Andrew Bendall
We are interested in the actions of transcription factors as activators and repressors of transcription in cells, as well as the regulatory circuits that evolve to shape embryos, notably the jaws.
Ray Lu
My lab focuses on two main axes of research:
1) Unfolded Protein Response and Human Diseases: We study proteins that play key roles in animal stress responses, specifically the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), which has been linked to animal development, cell differentiation, as well as a variety of human diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer and viral infection.
2) Molecular Mechanisms of Aging: We are working to establish planarians as a new aging model to test the hypothesis that longevity requires multiplex resistance to stress. We hope to identify genes or alleles that confer such multiplex stress resistance and/or promote longevity.
Jaideep Mathur
Our lab works on three major areas of plant biology:
1) Cytoskeleton & Cell Morphogenesis: We study the pivotal role played by the cytoskeleton in cell shape development in higher plants.
2) Live Cell Visualization & Organelle Dynamics: We dissect the response hierarchy and localized co-operation between plastids, mitochondria and peroxisomes and also between the actin and microtubule components of the cytoskeleton during differential growth in higher plant cells.
3) Plant Interactions: We document the earliest intracellular responses of plant cells to diverse environmental stimuli.
Rod Merrill
My research is in the general area of protein structure and dynamics and is specifically focused on the biochemistry of bacterial toxins involved in disease and consists of the following projects: Membrane structure of the colicin E1 ion channel; data mining and bioinformatics of bacterial virulence factors; optical spectroscopic approaches to study protein structure and dynamics; enzyme reaction mechanism of the bacterial mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase family; inhibition mechanisms and structural complexes of toxins with inhibitors; and, X-ray structures of protein-protein complexes involving toxins.
Robert Mullen
My research focuses on three main areas of plant cell biology:
1) Characterization of enzymes involved in seed oil biosynthesis.
2) Understanding various aspects of the biogenesis of peroxisomes, including how membrane proteins are targeted to this organelle, and what role the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves in the formation of peroxisomes.
3) Identification and characterization of a unique class of integral membrane proteins known as "Tail-Anchored" (TA) proteins.
Tariq Akhtar
My primary research interest concerns the splendid array of compounds that are made by plants and the underlying molecular and biochemical basis of their synthesis. My lab focuses on natural products that are of medicinal, industrial or pharmacological relevance and on specialized metabolites that help plants cope with their dynamic environment. As an example, we investigate the biosynthesis, composition and structure of plant-derived polyisoprenoids. We also work closely with collaborators in various fields such as organic chemistry, food science, neurobiology, and ecology with the overall goal to shed light on the processes that operate at the interface of plant primary and secondary metabolism.
My lab aims to understand 1) the molecular genetic mechanisms of recombination in mammalian cells; 2) how defects in recombination contribute to tumorigenesis; and, 3) the nature of recombination hotspots. We are presently researching questions pertaining to: the mechanism and frequency of recombination in mammalian cells; the role of large palindromes in promoting recombination; mammalian heteroduplex DNA formation and repair; genetics of strand invasion and 3' end polymerization; how DNA sequences act to stimulate recombination; non-crossover mechanisms of homologous recombination; the genetic control of recombination.
Malcolm Campbell
As they are literally rooted in place, plants possess remarkable mechanisms that perceive, interpret, and respond to internal and external cues so as to optimise plant growth and development relative to prevailing environment conditions. Despite the incredible diversity in plant forms, the molecular mechanisms that control plant responses to internal and external cues are highly conserved across diverse genera. The timing and localisation of these mechanisms shape plant and development. Our research team aims to gain greater insights into molecular mechanisms that plants employ to convert internal cues and external signals into appropriate adjustments in resource acquisition and allocation, focusing on the role of gene regulation in conditioning these adjustments.
Joseph Colasanti
One of the fundamental questions in plant biology concerns the nature of the signals that bring about the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth. My research is aimed at characterizing the developmental signals that cause plants to flower. The primary focus of this work is the maize indeterminate gene (id1). Maize plants that lack id1 function flower extremely late, or not at all, and they exhibit abnormal flower development. The ID1 protein contains zinc-finger motifs, suggesting that it regulates the expression of other genes. Expression analysis reveals that id1 mRNA is expressed only in leaf tissue, suggesting that ID1 acts by controlling the production of leaf-derived signals that mediate the transition to flowering.

Cell adhesion and migration are fundamentally important to the existence of multicellular organisms. This is obvious in light of the numerous diseases that can afflict humans when these processes are impaired. Disruption of normal cellular adhesive and migratory activities can lead to developmental disorders and contribute to the progression of arthritis, immunological deficiencies and cancer. Both cell adhesion and migration are complex processes involving numerous biochemical signalling events, reorganization of the cellular cytoskeleton and localized remodelling of the plasma membrane. It is the goal of my laboratory to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that link these activities, allowing them to be coordinated during changes in cell adhesion and motility.
Michael Emes
Much of our current effort is focused on understanding the regulation of starch synthesis in storage tissues such as the developing seeds of cereals. Starch is the major determinant of yield in such crops, and has wide application in both the food and non-food industries, yet there remain a huge number of unknowns in what limits the production and structure of this important glucan polymer. There is also an increasing realization that different types of starch provide benefits for human health. Our research covers cereals such as maize, barley, rice, and wheat, as well as the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. I lead a large, interdisciplinary team whose expertise includes plant biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, human physiology, and nutrition.
Nina Jones
Research in our laboratory is focused on defining eukaryotic signal transduction pathways, and investigating how mutations in components of these pathways can contribute to human disease. Signal transduction is a central process in multicellular organisms that allows for the exchange of informational cues between and within cells. Current areas of research include: 1) Signalling pathways controlling kidney podocyte morphology; 2) focal adhesion dynamics in cancer cells; and, 3) characterization of a novel neuronal adaptor protein, ShcD.

For bacteria, survival requires evading detection. Pathogens must evade their host, but all bacteria need to avoid being targeted by phages. Gram negative bacteria's survival depends on lipopolysaccharide and capsule – highly complex carbohydrate molecules that coat their outer surface. The enzymes that produce these molecules are complex, drawing on a large set of basic modules but then tweaking and combining them into new organizations that accomplish unique ends. My lab is focused on understanding how the structures and large-scale architectures of these enzymes create the enormous variety of unique custom carbohydrates observed in nature. To this end, we use crystallography, enzymology, and a variety of biophysical assays and bioinformatics tools to better understand these proteins.

The growth of neurons and their organization into circuits is a tightly controlled process that follows a series of well-defined steps. Once differentiated and integrated into networks, neurons also retain a remarkable capacity to rapidly change the arrangement of their connections in response to activity, a feature that is believed to critically support cognition as well as our ability to learn and retain information for long periods of time. Accumulating evidence strongly suggests that perturbation of the molecular interactions responsible for the growth of neurons, or the capacity of these cells to adequately respond to activity-dependent signals, contributes to the pathophysiology of different brain disorders. Our laboratory uses a multidisciplinary approach to explore these questions.
While animal models have lead to huge advancements in our understanding of neurobiology, there is controversy over whether overexpression/silencing of gene expression is representative of diverse disease states. Indeed, the lack of availability of primary human neurons has made evaluating the pathological consequences of genomic mutations arduous. The use of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology overcomes these limitations by providing a source of human neurons from both normal and disease genetic backgrounds. We currently focus on stem cell based models of Parkinson's Disease (PD) to study how mitochondrial stress mechanisms impact on neuronal function in human disease.


Instead, they say the best way to cut down on those deaths is to push the foods people should be eating more of, including nuts, seeds, vegetables, and whole grains.
Dr. Hyman said when we only focus on getting rid of bad foods, and not on adding nutritional ones, we make a mistake because good foods that promote health - such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds - are like medicine to our bodies.
This is because there is a bigger gap between how much healthy food people should eat and what they actually do, than how much unhealthy food people eat and the amount they should consume.
The UK had 127 diet-related deaths per 100,000 people per year, and the United States had 170.
A lack of eating healthy foods like whole grains, fruit and nuts and seeds, combined with a high intake of sodium was found to be more unsafe than even trans fats, sugar-sweetened drinks and processed meats, the study published Wednesday in the Lancet said. Diet can also be a risk factor for many chronic diseases, such diabetes.
Nuts should also be eaten daily as another source of plant-protein and healthy fats. As the Trump administration and USA lawmakers debate whether able-bodied people who don't work should be entitled to public food assistance, it's clear that many people around the globe struggle to afford healthy foods.
Each of these factors accounted for more than 2% of all deaths globally.
Dr Anna Diaz Font, from the World Cancer Research Fund, said: "This study is very important as it demonstrates the major role that diet plays in the health of individuals and populations".

The world's biggest, most ambitious and most expensive sea project is about to get underway at Marbles Kids Museum in Newcastle, Australia.
It will open next year, and is set to cost an estimated $4bn to build, with the first ship in the fleet set to be christened in 2019.
In fact, the ark will be a bit like a modern-day Noah's arks – an extravagant, futuristic and technologically advanced replica of a ship, complete with a new propulsion system and a futuristic-looking sail that could be used for sailing across the oceans.
But what does the arks true potential mean for marine tourism?
"The ark has a lot of potential, it has the potential to change the way we think about our seas and the way that people go about it," says Noah Fowlkes, curator of the Noah's Ark museum in Newcastle.
"And the more we know about the arktoknowledge and what it can do for the tourism industry, the more it's going to be a really exciting thing for people to see."
The ark's main attraction is the Ark of the Covenant, the Bible story of the Flood that the Ark travelled to to save mankind from the wrath of the beast.
Noah's wife, Hagar, built the arK in 1611, with her husband's blessing, to give to Noah's sons in his stead after he was killed by a fierce serpent.
The arK was later converted into a museum in 1721, and a series of other works of art are currently on display.
But when the arkk was first built in 1616, it was just a small wooden vessel.
Today, it's the largest, most modern-looking sea-going ark in the world, with a diameter of 6,500m.
"The ship is the main attraction, it brings in a lot more people and it also has the capacity to carry a lot larger boats," Mr Fowlke says.
"If it were just a ship and just the Ark would be the biggest, the most important ship, that's a lot different."
"And so it's a great opportunity for us as a museum to really showcase what it's about."
One of the largest ships ever built, the Ark is estimated to be more than six metres long and has a capacity to transport 1,000 people.
It's built on a floating platform and will have a range of different layouts depending on the season.
"We've got a really big ark platform and there's also a small ark, which is just a boxy vessel with a hatch in the centre," Mr Flakes says.
"And we've got the second platform, which has an ark that has three boats in it and we also have a boat that has an entire deck of deck."
"The Ark is a really unique vessel."
The Ark's first voyage was to the Black Sea, but when the Noah family needed to sail to the Mediterranean, they instead built the first ark at sea.
"That's how it was set up," Mr Fisher says.
A huge amount of time, money and planning went into building the arck, including a team of more than 100 people.
The project also involved thousands of hours of research and testing, which included measuring sea currents and weather patterns, as well as measuring sea creatures such as dolphins and sea birds.
But the arkenest of the arkes largest ship was never built.
The Ark of Promise The Ark arrived at the port of Nisibis, on the Black and Tuscany coast, in December 1621.
It was an incredibly important milestone in the Noahs journey, and the arker had to pass through a complicated ceremony to officially start the voyage.
"You have to do a great deal of paperwork to get this ship ready," Mr Foley says.
The first arks voyage began on December 1, and Mr Foley remembers that it was quite chaotic, with no order, no communication and the ships sailing without anyone knowing who was on board.
"They're so secretive in their business that they don't tell you how many people are going, they don, they say, 'We have a ship ready to go'," he says.
Mr Foulkes was one of the first people to go aboard the arked ship.
"I was just on my first voyage and I was thinking, 'How is this ship going to work?'
And it just worked."
The ship was originally supposed to be called the Ark Of Promise, but Mr Fowler says it was never called that because the arket was not yet ready.
"It was called the Arks of Hope because of the promise it had to fulfill in the future," he says, referring to the Bible's account of Noah's first expedition.
"In the end, it just ended up being the Ark."
But not all the arcks journey was a success.

MANUEL MORA AND PETE PADILLA MEMORIAL PARK
This Memorial Park was named in memory of Manuel Mora and Pete Padilla. It is dedicated in honor of all Hispanic veterans who have served in the United States military. PFC. G. Manuel Mora and Sgt. Pete Padilla were both Barela's Community leaders who lost their lives in Vietnam.
PFC. G. MANUEL MORA (1949-1969)
Manuel Mora was born on March 1, 1949, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Manuel and Albina Mora. One of four children, Manuel attended Riverview Elementary, Washington Junior High, and Albuquerque High School, graduating in 1968. Throughout school, Manuel was very engaged in Boy Scouts, becoming one of New Mexico's youngest Eagle Scouts. Manuel joined his Boy Scout Troop on trips to Washington, D.C. in 1962, meeting United States Congressman Joseph Montoya, and again in 1964, meeting President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1968, Manuel enlisted in the Vietnam War and served one tour. Two months before he was to return home, on June 17, 1969, Manuel died in action in the Quang-Tri Provence of Vietnam.
Manuel was a strong leader among his peers, a well-respected member of the Barelas community, and a dearly loved son and brother. Manuel is laid to rest in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, and was honored in 1970 with the dedication of a recreation center that once stood in this same area.
SGT. PETE PADILLA (1941-1966)
Pete Padilla was born on March 26, 1941, in Mountainair, New Mexico, to Joe and María Padilla, and moved with his family in 1944 to the Barelas neighborhood in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The second of nine children, Pete attended Riverview Elementary, Washington Junior High, and Albuquerque High School, graduating in 1960. During high school, Pete served as captain and co-captain of the baseball and football teams, in addition to working to help support his family. Between 1958 and 1962, Pete built an impressive 58 to 3 record in boxing, a sport he took up on a dare. Then, in 1962, with the Vietnam War progressing, Pete enlisted and went on to serve two tours in Vietnam. On March 28, 1966, just two days after his 25th birthday, Pete died in action in the vicinity of Quang Ngai.
Pete was a mentor among the Barelas youth, pushing neighborhood kids to stay in school and work hard. He loved sports and wrote poetry. He was a beloved son, brother, friend and leader. Pete is laid to rest in the Santa Fe National Cemetery, and a park that once stood in this same area was dedicated in his honor in 1970.
The National Hispanic Cultural Center Foundation, The National Hispanic Cultural Center and the Department of Cultural Affairs, are proud to honor and pay tribute to the sacrifices made by Hispanic veterans and all New Mexico veterans alike.

"Population health surveillance of RNA viruses through phylogeography."
Lunch will be served from 12.30 in the foyer of level 6, Wallace Wurth Building.
Please RSVP to rjoseph@kirby.unsw.edu.au for catering purposes at COB Wednesday 8th June 2016.
There is now a greater need to integrate virus sequence data into public health surveillance. This is particularly relevant for zoonotic viruses that are transmittable between animals and humans such as influenza, rabies, and West Nile Virus. This talk will cover two United States NIH-funded projects related to virus phylogeography and phylodynamics that aim to address complex public health issues through analysis of virus sequences.
Tracking evolutionary changes and virus spread requires the geospatial assignment of taxa, which is often obtained from GenBank (NCBI/NIH) metadata. Unfortunately, geospatial metadata such as host location is often uncertain in GenBank entries, with only 36% containing a precise location such as a county, town, or region within a state. For example, information such as "China" or "USA" is more often indicated instead of "Beijing" or "Bedford, NH, USA". While town or county might be included in the corresponding journal article, this valuable information is not available for immediate use unless it is extracted and then linked back to the appropriate sequence. The goal of the first study is to enable health agencies and other researchers to automatically generate phylogeographic models that incorporate enhanced geospatial data for better estimates of virus spread. This project focuses on developing and applying information extraction and statistical phylogeography approaches to enhance models that track evolutionary changes in viral genomes and their spread. We are developing a framework that uses natural language processing (NLP) for the automatic extraction of relevant geospatial data from the literature, and assigns a confidence between such geospatial mentions and the GenBank record.
The goal of the second project is to develop and evaluate a bioinformatics system that merges virus sequence data with climate, population, and travel data to study spread of zoonotic viruses. Here we note that there are many potential drivers of virus transmission that need to be considered including climate, population and travel, and ultimately, genetic polymorphisms in the virus itself. We are developing an online portal for generating sophisticated models of virus spread so that health agencies can prioritize control measures and reduce morbidity and mortality from zoonotic viruses.
Dr. Matthew Scotch is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Assistant Director of the Biodesign Center for Environmental Security at Arizona State University. His research focuses on the theory and application of phylogeography to study the migration of zoonotic RNA viruses with a particular interest in influenza A viruses. Work in his lab includes the integration, analysis, and presentation of viral genetics for public health/animal health surveillance.
Current projects include studying approaches to advance:
* Phylogeography models in order to identify climate, population, and genetic factors that support viral spread. Funding: NIH/NLM R01LM012080
* Geospatial metadata in virus sequence databases and approaches to include observation error for virus phylogeography. Funding: NIH/NIAID R01AI117011
Dr. Scotch's lab is also interested in the molecular epidemiology of zoonotic viruses including the amplification and sequencing of influenza A genes for studying spread among avian and human hosts.
Dr. Scotch received a Masters in Biomedical Informatics from Columbia University, a PhD in Biomedical Informatics from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Masters of Public Health (MPH) from Yale University. He also did his postdoctoral training at Yale University.

Since the news broke last month that Google is working on a censored search engine for the Chinese market, the company has faced conflicting criticism from legislators. In the last demand, a two-tier group of 16 House Representatives is looking for answers to the still secret plan.
To start the project, allegedly called Dragonfly, Google had to collaborate with the Chinese government's strict surveillance and censorship measures, a prospect that has assumed controversy inside and outside the company. Last month, a bipartisan group of senators sent a letter to CEO Sundar Pichai about the project, but his response was blasted as inadequate.
The company's criticism has only accelerated since. Google refused to make the top manager available to a Senate Intelligence Committee's consultation on social media earlier this month, which led to an empty chair during the hearing. President Trump has also recently paid the company with dubious demands for disturbances to conservatives.
0. Since that time, legislators have written the government's monitoring practice has only grown, even after being "quite robust."
"As police officers, we have a responsibility to ensure that US companies are not continuing human rights violations abroad and to ensure that our regulatory and statutory systems are capable of dealing with changing business environments," reads the letter.
The legislators ask for more details about the company's plans. Among the questions to the company: What restrictions will it place on the search engine? And if Google left China in 2010, why has it decided to move back now?
