Wed Dec 18 2002 18:54 Tonight's Episode: Murderous Magnetism: That's the name of the awesome early Christmas present I got from Jason yesterday. He printed the Tonight's Episode archive onto sticky paper, stuck it to that magnetic rubber stuff, and cut out the words with a razor blade. The result: Tonight's Episode magnetic poetry! Brilliant! The only problem is that the words are very small indeed, so small that I feel like I should be operating them with tweezers.
Here are photos. The sample TE in the third photo says "The Autopsy In Your Future".
Jason also made a magnetic set for his young nephew, consisting of printed out pictures of construction equipment obtained through Google image searches. There's even a little to-scale construction crew magnet. (I haven't seen the set, but Jason described it vividly, and it sounds really cool.)
Wed Dec 18 2002 19:34: Sumana is many things, but she is not a registered protocol.

Although I've heard a lot of things about the "Devil Survivor" series, I've never actually played any of the games. It's probably a good thing in this case, as it means I didn't have any bias when watching the anime based on Devil Survivor 2.
Set in modern day japan, Devil Survivor 2 features enemies called Septentriones" who are invading the country. For seven days, these gigantic beings will terrorise cities until the world is erased from existence. To try and stop this from happening, a government organisation signs a pact with demons to fight alongside humans.
The main heroes of this story, Hibiki, Saichi and Io are saved from a fatal train crash by a leaked program called "Nicaea". Minutes before your death, the app notifies your friends in the hope that your life will be spared. Through this app, the heroes are able to summon demons and are recruited to help save the world.
The story had so much promise! I liked the sound of fighting to save the world with a time limit, something more realistic than normal "save-the-world" scenarios where the heroes go at their own pace. I think that the story was a bit rushed though, with not much time given in the episodes to explore the personalities and relationships between the characters. The beginning of the series seemed to be setting up a possible romance between Saichi and Io, but this was quickly dropped and only mentioned again at the end.
I really liked the characters for this anime. I thought the character designs were different and I especially liked the demons. Creatures from different myths were brought in for inspiration so you were able to relate more to the story. I do think that the characters could have been explored more and their emotions used more effectively to help deepen the story.
The art itself was also quite good; I liked the designs and the colours as I felt they went well together. The visual effects used were also a good way to enhance the action which made the scenes stand out. In some parts the animation could have been a lot smoother but on the whole the animation was good. The main criticism I would have against it was the animation could have been used in a more effective way during the more dramatic scenes.
As for the audio, I'd highly recommend not watching this with the english dub but rather watch with the original Japanese vocals with subtitles. Usually, I attempt to watch dubbed anime since it's distracting trying to read and watch at the same time. However, after one episode I switched to subbed. Personally, I felt the dubbed voices did not suit the characters at all. Weak or boyish characters had strong voices and strong characters had very forgettable voices; It just didn't feel right at all. I'm glad to say that the subbed voices were the opposite. You could tell a lot of effort went into voices suiting characters and not just getting famous voice actors to play the roles.
For the extras there were textless versions of the opening and closing theme songs. There was also a choice of "Majestic Prince", "Gatchaman Crowds", "Amnesia" and "Watamote" trailers to watch.
On the whole I thought that the anime was very good. The story was a bit lacking and so was some character development, but the art and music were good. It's something I'd watch if I had a bit of spare time on my hands and didn't want to watch a lot of filler.

4"Yes!" cried the thousands upon thousands of voices, in a deafening shout of agreement.
9"Alright, we're sorry," they said, in a less deafening rumble.
18"Um, yes, begging your pardon, ma'am, but what is the Internet?" asked a woman nearly lost in the crowd.
28"I have a bunch of stone tablets and a chisel," came a distant and smarty-pants voice from the back of the crowd.
41"I'll see what I can do," answered Dee Dee the First. 42"In the meantime, go forth into the masses, and gather together the wisdom that exists among them. 43Translate it without doing too much damage to its overall intent, 44and please, whatever else you do try not to make an idiot out of yourself." 45Laughter arose from the crowd for some had encountered Solipsy and knew her smarty-pants nature and the chances she would sometimes make an idiot out of herself.
46Solipsy sighed. "Thank you, Dee Dee the First. I shall try to serve Our Lord Glob with all my heart, 47and produce a Holy Text that reflects His Greatness and complies with the wishes of the Great Prophets, past, present, and future.
49"How can a person comply with the wishes of a future prophet?" the man asked.
1Many were the True Believers, and both great and silly was the wisdom among them. 2Either way, heed, O Pastafarians this advice, for to ignore it would be most unwise and a bummer to the Great and Wheat-Based Protein-Orbed Creator of All That There Is. 3He has inspired many, who shall be cited en masse at the end of the book of ProvHerbs. 4Pastafarians have always been a smart bunch, and the Noodly Glob in Beer Volcano and Stripper Factory Heaven knoweth that they will until eternity understand the clumsy nature of putting every name alongside every ProvHerb, and how that would kill the overall comic effect of this section of the Holy Book.
5Truly, great is the wisdom among the inspired True Believers, and the scribe Solipsy did invite the inspired to form an orderly line and spill forth that wisdom, 6for she was excessively over-controlling. 7After such a time had passed that a quantity of the wisdom had been gathered, the scribe brought it before a Council of the Elders among the Pastafarians. 8She entered the Great Hall, and on the table before her was the Holy Meal which no Pastafarian refuses another, 9and afterward was much irrelevant and tiresome discussion, 10and some hours later a platter of doughnuts was brought forth.
12"Didst thee also check it for spelling errors?" the elders asked of her.
13She hung her head in shame. "No, I did not." 14A great cry came issued from among them, and the doughnuts were removed.
15"Check these documents and bring them back in suitable condition that we may sort them and adjudicate them as worthy for inclusion in our Holy Book!" they yelled. 16The scribe left without her treasured doughnut, muttering words forever lost to history.
17For many more days and nights she toiled, chiseling out the bad spellings and grammar, 18and sorting the advice of the inspired Pastafarians into broad categories so that the Council would look upon her with favor. 19The scribe was determined that when next she brought the texts before the council, the doughnut of crème filling and chocolate-frosted top would be her prize.
20In due course, she was convinced the Texts were presentable, and she brought them forth again. 21Same sh* "ouch" scene, different day. 22Only this time, the Elders looked upon the corrected ProvHerbs, pronounced some of them Canon, and sorted them into final categories. 23Thus did the scribe receive her doughnut, and further instructions to finalize them and present them to the Pastafarian tribes of the True Believers.
1Faith is to the soul what sauce is to pasta. 2The meaning of life can only be found at the bottom of a pasta bowl. 3To the divine feast, the wise bringeth TicTacs, but the fool leaveth with breath most garlicky and offensive. 4And once the garlic has been in the sauce, yea verily, thou must brush your tongue as well as your teeth, before thou layest with your wench.
5Starch not the shirts nor the linens, for starch is a holy foodstuff and should be consumed with reverence – and a good sauce. 6He who eats pasta shall never be hungry. 7There is never a right way to overcook pasta. 8As long as we eat our pasta and do not overcook it, we shall be saved. 9Feed a man pasta and you have fed him for a day, teach a man to cook pasta and you will amaze his wife.
10The wise Believer checketh the date of the Parmesan, but the foolish accidentally flavor the sauce with mold. 11Whoever tops with the cheese of the powder is a blasphemer, sayeth the Lord. 12Do not put ranch dressing on your spaghetti, for that is blasphemy. 13Abhor ye not the dried pasta, for verily it is written that only the stuff in tins is an abomination.
14His Noodliness helps those who help themselves to seconds!
15If thy sauce falleth in thy lap, sing praise that His Noodleyness has spareth'ed thy new shag pile. 16To touch the divine, is not the same as being divinely touched. 17He shall cover thee with his spaghetti, and under his marinara shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy parmesian and meatballs.
18I can do all things through FSM who marinates me.19 Please prepare your plates, let us eat. Pass the Parmesan. 20As you treat the least of the midgets, so you treat Him. 21He who doubteth me shall sip warm diet drinks fortified with caramel coloring and artificial sweetener forever: But he who believeth in me shall drink his fill from the beer volcano and the Holy Wine Bar.
22If you can't say anything nice, fill up your mouth with pasta. Yum! 23Everyone is kneaded out of the same dough but not cooked in the same pot. 24Better the mushroom you know than the fungus you don't know. 25A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up pasta sauce. 26A friend in need is a friend who has not been touched.
27A closed mouth catches no noodly appendages. 28You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget the pirates with whom you ate pasta. 29Where no spaghetti is, the people fall: but in the multitude of pastas there is safety. 30Let he who is without arms, cast the first stone. 31When a thief sees the Noodley One, all he sees are His pockets. 32Love thy neighbor as thyself, and share pasta and rum drinks galore, for in the eyes of His Noodlitude, we are all One.
33Let us love, not in word or speech, but in pasta and wine. 34Kiss the cook.
35With Him, All Things are Pasta-Bowl. 36FSM answered, It is written:'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every pasta that comes from the mouth of me. 37Cook pasta for others, as you would have them cook pasta for you. 38As a child I slurped noodles as a child, dribbled sauce as a child, and threw meatballs as a child. Now I see through the sauce darkly, and speak with the tongues of pirates, and all is sound and blurry if I have not love. 39Faith, hope, and noodles; and of these, the greatest is noodles.
40It is easier for a meatball to pass through the eye of a tornado than for a confused man to enter the Kingdom of Pasta. 41Punish not those but for a noodle for a noodle, a meatball for a meatball. 42Strive for the stars, for nothing is impastable. 43Pray for the things you want, but work for the pasta you need. 44Thou shall continue on the path of the great noodly one, through both thick marina sauce and thin marinara sauce.
45Those who ask for seconds will be provided, those with no appetite for the lord shall feel His hunger. 46Those who eat pasta shall inherit the earth. 47Let he who is without seasoning, cast the first pinch of basil. 48Noodle unto others as you would have them noodle unto you.
49For the Flying Spaghetti Monster hath said, always leave the campground nicer than you found it. 50Ahoy there ye dogs; Swab the decks daily or ye house will sink. 51Tis an invitation of bad luck not to speak in the Blessed Language at least once a day, before mealtimes. 52Avast! Give in to temptation daily, for the FSM is not vengeful god and wants you to have a little fun along the way. 53Judge not the shape of thy noodle, but by the form of thy cheese for any one among you. 54The FSM shall bless the True Believer who wipeth the sauce from his chin, but shall not spare the shirts of the careless. 55Cleanliness is next to Noodliness.
56Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from the Flying Spaghetti Monster. 57A meatball in the hand is worth two on the plate. 58Do unto others what you would pay a stripper to do unto you. 59Never eat yellow snow. 60Think not disparaging of the night BUT cast thine eyes upon the moon for FSM put it there to remind you of a plate of pasta.
61A donkey with a load of noodles is still but a donkey. 62The Gas that comes from eating a full Plate is but the Divine noodle's way of saying, 'You're Welcome.' 63Ask not what your pasta can do for you, just eat it. 64Blessed are the pastamakers…theirs is the Kingdom of cheese. 65Use only the wooden spoon preparing the Holy Sauce in my best pan, otherwise you will surely feel the back of my not-so-Noodly appendage upon thee. 66Cake tastes good.
67When picking vanilla, chocolate, or chocolate swirl, get the swirl, or FSM will smite you with regret! 68Do not fear ducks, because that would be stupid. 69Arrrrrr, it is revealed and to be held holy that He hath two meatballs, but three meatballs shall be held heresy and garner the displeasure of His Appendage. 70His Noodlyness blesses not the deniers of Global Warming, but shall make pirates plentiful to those who have been touched. 71The Flying Spaghetti Monster looks with favor upon the saucy, but shall keep his blessed beer volcano flat for the dry. 72A lasagna in time serves nine.
73An eyepatch is a sign of Good favor while wooden legs are signs that you need to watch out for cannons. 74Blessed are the pasta-makers, they shall inherit 10 gold dubloons. 75I think, therefore I am a pirate. 76The early bird gets the worm, but the late worm loses the bird. 77The early bird gets the worm, but who likes eating worms? 78The early bird may get the worm, but the late sleeper recovers from a hangover.
79And what is it that the Pastafarians of all kinds are to remember most of all? 80To be inclusive of people of all sorts for We Are All His Creatures.
And then roll that ball down the hall.
Bear in mind thy stomach's size.
Thy napkin reaches up thy navel.
Do not hack it with a big machete.
But that is between thy FSM and you.
to form a mouth-size ball, quite soon.
Try a blend of Merlot, Cabernet and Sangiovese.
Then cook His sauce in many a ways.
1 Give a starving man spaghetti, and he will exhibit great mirth for a day. Teach a starving man to cook spaghetti, and he will exhibit great girth and drink vast quanities of wine for the rest of his life. 2 An apple a day keeps the Scurvy away. 3 Tis better to have pasta without sauce, than not to have pasta at all. 4 Wiser is the man who keeps his mouth closed with pasta, than the fool who doth chew and speak, spittling like the beasts of the field. 5 the cooking of a great feast begins with a single ingredient 6 It is easier to ask for seconds, than for a plate. 7 If at first you dont suceed…Drink excessively. 8 Remember thee that the penne is mightier than the sword, but any pasta shape is better than an object designed to maime and kill.
9 Ye cannae teach an elderly pyrate nuffin', least ove awl tricks. 10 A lolly inner han is wurf two inner bilje. 11 As ye Spaniard sows, so shall the Pirate reap.
12 Monster grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the Noodle to know the difference. 13 I remember that an elephant never forgets, but i forget what the elephant remembered. 14 The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. 15 Flying Spaghetti Monster, please give me the hunger to eat the pasta I can, the humility to accept that I can eat no more when too full, and the wisdom to remember where I live when I'm trashed on Holy Friday.


Over 5,000 participants attended the 10th International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease (ICAD) and Related Disorders in Madrid, Spain from July 15–20, 2006. Highlights of the conference included reports on brain imaging, the discovery of mutations in the progranulin gene that cause frontotemporal dementia, the finding that neuregulin-1 is a substrate for BACE1 and new interest in the connection between Alzheimer's disease and metabolic syndromes.
The 10th International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease (ICAD) and Related Disorders was held in the Spanish capitol of Madrid from July 15–20, 2006. More than 5,000 researchers, students and clinicians came to Madrid to present their research and learn about the findings of others. The welcome reception at Palacio Negralejo, a sprawling estate on the outskirts of Madrid, allowed attendees to meet collaborators and friends and sample some typical Spanish food: Iberic ham, seafood paella, grilled veal and various tapas. Flamenco dancers, banjo players, and plenty of sangria created a festive beginning for the conference.
The main conference was preceded by an imaging consortium on Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using a wide variety of methods, investigators showed correlations between AD or aging and different imaging measures. There was particular interest in white matter lesions, which several scientists noted were closely correlated with AD. Frank-Erik De Leeuw from UMC-Stradboud in the Netherlands reported that the extent of white matter lesions correlates with medial temporal atrophy in late-onset but not early-onset AD, suggesting that late-onset and early-onset AD may have some different pathological pathways . There were also several reports on brain PET imaging using the Pittsburgh compound B (PiB). William Klunk from the University of Pittsburgh estimated that over 500 patients at 12 institutions have undergone PET scans using PiB, which appears to be a reliable marker of amyloid deposition . It is hoped that imaging will identify patients at risk for AD and differentiate patients with amyloid-β deposition from patients with other types of pathology.
Although there were hundreds of presentations at ICAD, a few stood out because of their importance and novelty. Perhaps the biggest news came from two independent groups of researchers at the Mayo Clinic and the University of Antwerp in Belgium. Both groups found mutations in the gene encoding progranulin that cause a form of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), the second most common form of dementia in individuals younger than 65 years old [3, 4]. Since 1998, when mutations in the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene on chromosome 17 were found to cause FTD with parkinsonism, geneticists have been stymied by families with FTD linked to the same region on chromosome 17 but having no MAPT mutations. It seemed likely that difficult-to-find mutations in MAPT accounted for these FTD cases, but the mutations could not be found despite heroic efforts. Geneticists then sequenced genes near MAPT and were rewarded by finding mutations in the progranulin gene (PGRN), which is located a mere 1.7 Mb away from MAPT. In one patient series, PGRN mutations accounted for at least 11% of all FTD cases and 26% of familial FTD cases. Interestingly, all the PRGN mutations that were reported are dominant and effectively create null alleles, meaning that the FTD phenotype results from decreased levels of progranulin in affected individuals. Additionally, the ubiquitin-positive inclusions in the brains of affected individuals do not stain with anti-progranulin antibodies, leaving the identity of the ubiquitinated protein an intriguing mystery. The discovery of PGRN mutations is a major advance in our understanding of FTD and will undoubtedly inspire intense research to discover the mechanism by which progranulin deficiency leads to FTD.
Another interesting story from the conference involved BACE1, the major β-secretase in the brain. Sequential cleavage of amyloid precursor protein by β-secretase and then γ-secretase produces the amyloid β-peptide (Aβ). Since inhibition of β-secretase should decrease Aβ levels in the brain, it is an attractive therapeutic target. In fact, Martin Citron from Amgen reported that over 100 patents have been filed for BACE1 inhibitors . However, inhibition of BACE1 could have negative consequences if other molecules that are physiologically important require cleavage by BACE1. Christian Haass and his colleagues in Germany were attempting to find normal substrates for BACE1 and began with two key observations: 1. BACE1 expression is high post-natally but low in adults and 2. BACE1 is not expressed by invertebrates. From these clues, Haass and his colleagues thought that BACE1 may be involved in myelination, which is prominent in the post-natal time interval and is not present in invertebrates. Their hypothesis was correct: electron microscopic examination of the peripheral nerves from BACE1 deficient mice showed pronounced hypomyelination . Interestingly, this hypomyelination phenotype was similar to that of neuregulin-1 haploinsufficient mice, which led Haass and his colleagues to hypothesize that neuregulin-1 was a substrate for BACE1. Next they found that neuregulin-1 levels are elevated in the brains of Bace1-/- mice, most likely because BACE1 is the major enzyme that cleaves neuregulin-1. Finally, they demonstrated that neuregulin-1 is cleaved by BACE1 in vitro . It is unknown whether inhibition of neuregulin-1 cleavage in adults, as could occur with the therapeutic usage of BACE1 inhibitors, would create adverse effects. Since myelination primarily occurs in childhood, decreased neuregulin-1 cleavage in older adults may not be an issue, but this remains to be proven. Overall, this was a remarkable story because the investigators deduced such a large amount of information from two seemingly small observations.
An area that has not been previously emphasized, the interaction between AD and metabolic syndromes such as obesity and diabetes, was discussed in multiple sessions. Miia Kivipelto from the Stockholm Gerontology Research Center presented epidemiological data showing that obesity, hypercholesterolemia and hypertension were all risk factors for AD and that when all three factors were present in the same individual the risk of AD increased 6-fold . Other investigators found links between diabetes, peripheral insulin resistance, cerebral glucose metabolism and cognitive dysfunction, but the mechanisms involved were not clear. However, a possible connection between AD and metabolic syndromes has important therapeutic implications. Previous studies have shown that intravenous (IV) insulin administration improves cognition in AD patients, but IV insulin is not a viable therapeutic option due to the risk of hypoglycemia. To circumvent the risk of hypoglycemia and deliver insulin to the brain, Suzanne Craft from the University of Washington treated subjects with either early AD or mild cognitive impairment with daily intranasal insulin or placebo. After 21 days, the patients treated with intranasal insulin had better memory-related scores . Another group, from GlaxoSmithKline, also performed a clinical trial of a diabetes-related drug. They treated 511 AD subjects with the type-2 diabetes drug rosiglitazone or placebo for 24 weeks, but found no clinical improvement on several different tests . Clearly, further studies are required to determine how AD is connected to metabolic disorders and whether drugs that are commonly used to treat metabolic diseases are beneficial to AD patients.
Finally, one other notable change in this conference was the plethora of drug company representatives marketing their formulations of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and memantine. While scientists rarely get excited about increasing numbers of drug salespeople, their presence was evidence that therapeutics the Alzheimer's research and pharmaceutical community has been developing for years are finally coming to the market. Hopefully the therapeutics being marketed at the 2008 ICAD conference in Chicago will be more numerous and effective.

CEO, Harsha Rathnayake, founded the company with just a second-hand tipper truck and £160 of savings now it is growing enterprise, with 13 staff .
Mr Rathnayake, who has a degree in automotive engineering and MBAs in Business Administration, started his own rubbish collection firm after the one he was working for folded when its owner moved to India.
He was given the company's only asset, an old Ford Transit, in lieu of his last month's wages.
Sri Lankan-born Mr Rathnayake took on additional part time jobs, including a paper round and delivering takeaways, to help fund the business, having been refused loans as he had no UK credit history.
He is now looking for new Junk Hunters to take the franchise across the UK.
Rubbish is sorted after collection and useful, good quality items such as furniture are donated to charities, or recycled where possible.
While sorting waster Junk Hunters has uncovered a first Charles Dickens first edition, good quality Louis Vuitton handbags, gold and silver jewellery, a working treadmill worth more than £2,000 and a pair of antique statues which sold at auction for £2,800.
Mr Rathnayake said: ""It's hard work, certainly, but if you're driven and determined then you can definitely make a success of it.

Mendelssohn Foundation
The Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Foundation is a not-for-profit independent foundation governed according to civil law. It is based in the Mendelssohn House [de] (where the composer lived in the 1840s) in Leipzig.[1][2]
1 Foundation
Foundation[edit]
Originally set up in 2003 as a fiduciary foundation,[1] the Mendelssohn Foundation's legal status was changed in 2012 by the Leipzig city authorities, here operating in partnership with the already registered "Mendelssohn House International Mendelssohn Foundation" ("Mendelssohn-Haus Internationale Mendelssohn Stiftung"). This was when the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Foundation became a not-for-profit independent foundation, governed according to civil law. The constitution of the restructured foundation was drawn up on 28 November 2011, and the city's financial and legal participation was agreed at a council meeting on 18 July 2012. The Mendelssohn House and the Mendelssohn Museum, together with the museum site at Goldschmidtstraße 12, were brought into the foundation. Acceptance of the new arrangements by the German Foundations Supervisory authority [de] followed on 28 August 2012.[3]
Objectives[edit]
According to its constitution, The Foundation objectives are focused, in particular, on international research and nurture concerning the artistic and societal inheritance bequeathed by the Composer and Director of the Gewandhaus Orchestra ("Gewandhauskapellmeister"), Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847).
In addition, the foundation is required to encourage musical training and education in a manner consistent with the priorities of the composer who founded in Leipzig Germany's first music conservatory, which today bears his name as the University of Music and Theatre "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Leipzig.
The Foundation is also to administer and operate the Mendelssohn Museum in the Mendelssohn House [de] and the carriage house belonging to it.[4]
Activities[edit]
The foundation supports the Mendelssohn Complete Output project of the Saxonian Academy of Sciences and Humanities
The foundation issues publications and organises concerts.
The foundation awards the International Mendelssohn Prize in Leipzig.[5]
The foundation may award scholarships to artists of exceptional talent.[4]
The foundation has rescued and taken responsibility for running the Mendelssohn House [de] acquired in 1993 by a predecessor organisation.
The foundation had, by February 2014, invested €1.5 million in dramatically raising the standard of the displays and exhibits in the Mendelssohn-Museum accommodated in the Mendelssohn House.
The first prize winner, in 2007, of the International Mendelssohn Prize in Leipzig was the conductor Kurt Masur, one of Mendelssohn's successors as chief conductor ("Gewandhauskapellmeister") of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. Masur has held the post for nearly thirty years. Masur has also played a leading part in the work of the foundation and of its predecessor entities: heis currently the Foundation's President.[5]
The Chairman of the supervisory board is Burkhard Jung, the Lord Mayor of Leipzig.

Q: Dichotomous Variables Problem I'm currently in the process of making research about Investments. And I bumped with a problem of using variables in PLS. So would very much appreciate your advises, because I am in a dead-end for now.
I've made a survey research and now analyzing people's opinions regarding their desire to invest in a certain entity.
I have two groups of variables:
Group 1: 10 ordinal variables (Likert scale: from 1 to 4), that may have a positive effect on investment.
Group 2: 10 ordinal variables (Likert scale from 1 to 4), which may have a negative effect on desire to invest.
And in the end of the survey the two following questions were asked:
1. Have you ever invested in the entity? (binary, yes/no)
2. Will you invest in this entity in the future? (binary, yes/no)
So my first idea was to make Factor Analysis on each of the group of ordinal variables, to reduce data complexity and split them on certain factors (exogenous variables). And then to examine these factors in PLS to see whether there is a connection between them and binary variables (the two last questions of the survey regarding past and future investment plans).
Due to inability of SmartPLS to process binary variables (endogenous variables), I stucked with analysis.
Would you please advise me on how I can check/predict which factors have influence on investment in the past/future?
Looking very much forward for your reply!
Thanks in advance!

A: There are lots of ways to analyse this information. Throwing stuff into a sophisticated but turnkey piece of software like SmartPLS expecting an answer to pop out is a recipe for shooting yourself in the foot. PLS is a sophisticated multivariate technique and you didn't indicate whether or not you've done any simple, exploratory groundwork that would build up to that level of complexity.
I'm guessing that the two item sets you describe are drawn straight from the survey's framework and question flow. Given that, positive and negative associations are testable and (even if these items have been analyzed before) retestable assumptions. Why not do a factor analysis of those 20 items all at once to see if 1), you recover the item blocks in the survey and 2), where the redundancies are across all the questions. If you don't recover the original item block design, then there's no statistical reason to retain it and you can move to a cohesive treatment or pooling of the 20 items.
Next, consider examining the pairwise relationships between your ordinal items and your dependent variables (DVs). Given the 0,1 nature of the DVs, logistic regression would be a more rigorous approach to use but, at this stage, there's nothing wrong with OLS regression either. One thing that might be interesting would be to rescale or collapse these two variables into one variable representing two things taken two at a time, i.e., no-no, no-yes, yes-no, yes-yes combinations. You can treat this new DV as having an ordinal relationship and run ordinal regression on it. The significance and strength of the pairwise associations will put a stake in the ground for the next, more sophisticated phase of the analysis -- predictive modeling.
At this point, you should definitely partition your respondents into randomly assigned groups: one for calibrating your model and a second for out-of-sample model validation. K-fold cross-validation is another option. Whatever you do, in the absence of out-of-sample validation, any resulting predictive model will be unreliably optimistic.
Having established that there are pairwise relationships, the question I'm left with concerns the best way to understand any "multivariate" relationships as in a predictive model. You're predisposed towards PLS and a factor analysis of the 20 items as input. I would like to challenge that assumption. The reasons for this are that, while you can do this, the resulting factors are harder to interpret -- you would lose the specificity and meaning of each unique item. That said, variable selection and importance is a field about which every statistician and their brother has either an opinion or a paper -- there are no shortage of possible methods. My preference is for the Lasso or random forests, but the decision is probably more a function of your level of understanding and what your software allows you to do.
So, whatever you do, you will end up with a reduced set of model inputs -- typically between a few and 8 or so variables -- that need to be groomed into a final model. This is where the expertise of a good modeler really comes into play. As already noted, PLS and SEM are one option among a plethora of methodologies. Have a field day!

Young starts as £33m man benched in Aston Villa predicted XI v Man City - Agbonlahor
Gabby Agbonlahor has tipped Aston Villa to name an unchanged starting XI against Man City on Wednesday evening (1 December).
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Villa's record Premier League goalscorer claimed Gerrard will remain loyal to the players who showed "guts and determination" in the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
He made two changes at Selhurst Park as Ashely Young and Leon Bailey replaced Emiliano Buendia and Danny Ings in the side.
Buendia, 25, became Villa's record signing over the summer after his £33million move from Norwich City but has so far failed to find consistent form.
Birmingham Live report Villa came through the game against Palace unscathed as Ings, Bertrand Traore and Trezeguet remain unavailable.
"They showed guts and determination against Crystal Palace and they played some good football, Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.
"When a manager like Steven Gerrard you're going to have that bounce. This is Gerrard, what a player he was, one of the best to play in the Premier League and he has done a great job as a manager at Rangers. As a player you're going to give 200 per cent and that's what you have seen in the games.
"You will see that against Man City. He has had a different plan for each of the two games.
"This is a very tough game, I don't know how you stop Man City. I don't want to say it's a free game because Gerrard won't see any game as a free game.
"They've got so much quality. These players are going to be so tough to get past.
"I'm sure Gerrard will have a plan to stop Man City. He knows his team has got to be brave.
"So far Villa fans are buzzing with how the team has been playing.
"Gerrard will be fair, if you play well you will keep your place. It wouldn't surprise me if it is exactly the same team that he did against Crystal Palace."

The Objective
By	Anzu || March 17, 2017
Categories: Front Page, Site Updates
Welcome to the Objective
We are both a new Overwatch site and not so new. Once flying under the helm of Omnic Core, the brand transferred owners so that its original founder, Fey, could pursue other opportunities. We are grateful for everything that Fey has done. Under new management, we have spent the last several weeks diligently putting together a whole new look for Omnic Core. This new look required a new name and identity and so The Objective came to be.
Our goals are the same: to provide Overwatch related news and content to visitors. We have taken it a step further though. We've added new features such as the Athena bot to our Discord so our community has easier access to our tweets, a database for the new version of the site featuring information on heroes, maps, and the various brawls in the Arcade. Overwatch news and eSports have both been moved to their own separate pages. Further additions include following blue posts and posting relevant ones to the front page, similar to what mmo-champions does. We currently don't have our own Blue Tracker so we're making use of Overstalk for the time being to gather that data. (Don't worry; we are manually gathering this data!)
The Objective was built with usability in mind. As such it is fully responsive and built on a framework to allow for easier updating to its design. This is great as there are plans to add more data to each of the hero pages and to create a podcast in the future. Don't be surprised if see you content being added, moved around, and basically being changed in the upcoming weeks. Bugs are still abound and they're being crushed!
We hope that you like the new look and that you'll continue to support us on this road. The last of our giveaways start soon so get ready!

New agency to take over programs for the homeless in Lansing

LANSING - Two social services agencies said they've reached an agreement that will preserve programs that serve the homeless population in Lansing.
Effective Oct. 1, Holy Cross Services will assume responsibility for a dozen programs now run by the Volunteers Of America at a facility on North Larch Street, the nonprofit groups said on Wednesday.
Those programs include VOA's day center, night shelter and emergency shelter, as well as its community kitchen, housing support programs and medical and dental clinics, officials said. The VOA will continue to operate some programs for veterans, a senior housing facility and a pair of thrift stores in Lansing, among other services.
The groups had been talking about transferring services to Holy Cross since last March, after leadership changes occurred at the VOA. Officials provided no details about what they termed an agreement to transfer services.
"If you are on the Holy Cross side, it would be an acquisition of services," said Alex Brodrick, CEO of Volunteers of America Michigan. "If you are on our side, it's a transition of services to another agency."
Funding issues are partly behind the transfer, Brodrick said. Another factor: Holy Cross can provide a broader range of services for the homeless, including alcohol and drug counseling, he said.
"Holy Cross can bring some services we are not in a position to bring," Brodrick said. "I am definitely excited about this development."
Holy Cross is a Catholic social services agency based in Lenawee County. It provides foster care, substance abuse and mental health services and runs a residential substance abuse center for women in Lansing called Patricia Evelyn Bertsch Holy Cross Women's Behavioral Healthcare.
"It is part of our mission to take care of the vulnerable, and this fits very naturally in our mission ..." Holy Cross CEO Sharon Berkobien said in a news release.

The new Lansing program will be called the New Hope Community Center. The current VOA staff will stay on once Holy Cross takes over, the agencies said.
The VOA helped nearly 7,300 homeless and impoverished people in Lansing last year. It receives more than $1 million a year in government funding, including about $900,000 in federal and state housing funds that pass through the city, said Joan Jackson Johnson, who runs Lansing's Human Relations and Community Services Department.
The Lansing area's homeless population hovers at around 5,000, and the services provided by VOA are critical, Johnson said.
"We're almost always on overload," she said. "If we would pull VOA out of the situation, it would look something like San Francisco, Chicago or New York in terms of the number of people on the streets."
Johnson said she "feels really good" about the new arrangement.
"I was really scared we weren't going to have any options in the city," she said. "I'm thankful to the Holy Cross team and VOA staff for coming together and doing what's in the best interest of the community."

Monday Wave: What Did the Rapids Draw with FC Dallas Show Us?
I believe all of us at the Burgundy Wave see the concern. Will the Rapids address this?
Share All sharing options for: Monday Wave: What Did the Rapids Draw with FC Dallas Show Us?
As you well know, our Colorado Rapids earned a hard fought draw against who I believe are our new archrivals, FC Dallas 1-1. I found it a very entertaining game, although not everyone agreed:
If #Rapids96 end up in #MLS Cup this year, everyone will end up rooting against them so hard. They are such a drag to watch. #COLvDAL
— Andy Edwards (@AndyEdMLS) July 24, 2016
I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I found it glorious. But I may have burgundy-tinted glasses. Fine. Guilty as charged.
Did we find anything else out about our Rapids? We have the good and the concern (not the 'bad,' for when a team is on this run, let's just call it 'concern').
The best offensive team in MLS needed a golazo to draw with the best defensive team in MLS. That spoke volumes. That gives the Rapids 14 goals allowed in 20 games. This wasn't our best defensive night.
Marlon Hairston might be the biggest surprise for the Colorado Rapids, maybe even MLS. He is one cool customer. His pace and nose for goal were apparent, though at first he kept kicking it where the goalkeeper stood. The goal against Sporting Kansas City on July 16 seemed to open the door. The poaching and the putaway against FC Dallas showed he can keep his head about him. We've needed that (which I'll address in the 'concern' section).
Three points behind FC Dallas (still) with three games in hand, giving the Rapids an insane 15-game unbeaten streak.
The atmosphere at DSGP has been fantastic. All of us in the South Stands participated in the Viking clap during corner kicks. More please. Let's keep it up!
Oh, our new goalkeeper is pretty stinkin' good, to the tune of five saves last night. Our backline could have helped him much, much more.
The Concern
Four goals in four games. Many in the Rapids Twitterverse lament that the Rapids did not go for that second goal more strongly. Many fans bemoan that Shkelzen Gashi and Kevin Doyle haven't scored more, or that the Rapids in general haven't scored more: 23 goals in 20 games, putting them 15th in the league. Clearly, no one will confuse us with FC Dallas' offense. We hope that the coaching staff will resolve these issues.
The question I have is: what harm would it do to put both Gashi and Doyle as dual strikers? It's here I betray my lack of understanding of tactics. I know that the coaching staff is committed to the 4-2-3-1, which has been tremendous defensively. But we are 12th in the league with shots taken (263). Would a 4-4-2 produce more opportunities?
More are needed. Consider the last two goals the Rapids have scored (which, as it happens) are Marlon Hairston's last two goals. Rather than those goals being in the run of play with intentional offensive development, these goals came about by the opponents' mistakes deep in their own half. Hairston's goals were sheer brilliance, and I take nothing away from his technique, but Rapids fans would feel much better going forward seeing more offensive discipline and organization (which, I must say, the first half provided that, just without any hitting the back of the net).
The Main Takeaway
Our defense will put us in a position to get deep in the playoffs, especially when Bobby Burling returns. Figuring out the offense will make us MLS Cup favorites. Our defense will keep us in every single game, and with the parity of MLS, that's a great thing! The difference between 1st in the West and 6th in the West is minimal.
What do you think? Sound off in the comments section.
Colorado Rapids 5-3 Mineros FC Pids win goal-fest in second preseason friendly in Mexico. Cole Bassett scores twice.

Katarina Medičejska, urbinska princesa in kasneje francoska kraljica, * 13. april 1519, Firence, † 5. januar 1589, Blois ob Loiri .

Bila je žena francoskega kralja Henrika II., kronana za francosko kraljico 1549, regentka mladoletnemu sinu Karlu IX. v letih 1560-1564.

Medičejka

Katarina izvira iz rodbine Medičejcev, patricijske družine v Firencah. Družina si je v 14. stoletju z bančnimi posli pridobila veliko bogastvo, se kasneje povzpela na oblast in pridobila vojvodski naslov. Katarina je hči  Lorenza II. Medičejskega, vojvode Urbinskega, in bolonjske grofice Madeleine de La Tour d'Auvergne. Oba starša sta umrla v prvih tednih njenega življenja, mati za posledicami poroda, oče pa nekaj tednov kasneje za jetiko.

Mladost je preživljala pri sorodnikih in v samostanih, kjer je prejela tudi izobrazbo in vzgojo.
Devetletna se je, ko je živela v samostanu, znašla v smrtni nevarnosti v obleganih Firencah, ko so jo sovražni  republikanci hoteli uporabiti za pritisk na njenega strica papeža Klemena VII.  (Firence je po dogovoru s papežem oblegala vojska Karla V. z namenom, da Medičejcem povrne oblast v mestu, kar se je potem tudi zgodilo.)

Na francoskem dvoru

Štirinajstletno je 1533 stric papež Klemen VII.  poročil v Marseillu, ob velikih ceremonijah, s Henrikom, drugim sinom francoskega kralja Franca I. Kralj je bil navdušen nad bistro, živahno in kulturno snaho, ki ga je v ženskem sedlu (tedaj novost) spremljala na lov. Nasprotno je plemiški dvor izobraženo Italijanko, predstavnico meščanstva, sprejel z nezaupanjem. Najbolj odklonilen je bil do nje soprog Henrik, saj ga je v marsičem prekašala. Raje je ostal ob ljubici, s katero je imel otroka.

1536 je umrl kraljev prvorojenec Franc in Henrik je postal prestolonaslednik. Devetnajstleten si je izbral novo metreso, devetintridesetletno Diano de Poitiers. Ker Katarina še vedno ni zanosila, so se začele širiti govorice, da je neplodna in da je nasledstvo rodbine ogroženo. Le kraljevo zaupanje jo je obdržalo v vlogi soproge prestolonaslednika. Ko je 1544 rodila prvega sina, se je njen položaj na dvoru nekoliko popravil.

Čas vladanja Henrika II

1547 je kralj Franc I. umrl in nasledil ga je sin kot kralj Henrik II. Katarino so 1549 v baziliki Saint-Denis sicer kronali za kraljico Francije, a v centru dogajanja na gradu Chenonceau je vlogo kraljice igrala Diana de Poitiers. Ta se v razmerju do kralja ni čutila ogrožena od Katarine in je kralja celo vzpodbujala k vse več otrokom, ki jih je bilo na koncu 10 (trije so umrli v prvem letu starosti). Katarina je sprejela v vzgojo tudi petletno Marijo Stewart, naslednico škotskega in tudi angleškega prestola. Marijo so 1558 poročili s Katarininim prvim sinom Francem.

Katarina je živela odmaknjena od dogajanj ob vzgoji otrok. Javnost jo je lahko prvič videla v pravi luči 1557, ko je ob paniki v Parizu in odsotnosti kralja (francoska vojska je bila tedaj poražena pri Saint-Quentienu) na lastno pobudo nastopila v parlamentu in z odločnim nastopom dosegla odobritev ogromnih sredstev za obrambo ogroženega Pariza.

1559 je Henrik končal dolgotrajne vojne za prevlado v Italiji. Sklenitev miru s Svetim rimskim cesarstvom in Anglijo so pospremili še s poroko med Katarinino trinajstletno hčerko Elizabeto in španskim kraljem Filipom II. Na viteških igrah, ki so bile del proslavljanja, je sodeloval tudi Henrik II. V enem od dvobojev se mu je drobec zlomljenega kopja nesrečno zaril v oko in po 10 dneh trpljenja je umrl.

Čas vladanja Franca II.

Krono je nasledil Katarinin prvi sin kot kralj Franc II. Petnajstletnik je bil formalno že polnoleten in ni potreboval Katarininega regentstva. Prepustil se je vodstvu stricev svoje soproge, vplivnih plemičev iz lotarinške družine Guise:  kardinala Karla in vojvode Franca Guiškega, najslavnejšega francoskega vojskovodje tistega časa. Njuna sestra je bila soproga škotskega kralja Jakoba V. in mati Marije Stewart. Tako vplivna družina se je imela za upravičeno na francoski prestol. Bila je katoliško usmerjena in huda nasprotnica hugenotskemu gibanju, ki se je širilo po deželi.

Na čelu hugenotskega gibanja sta bila kralj Navarre Antoine de Bourbon in njegov brat Louis de Bourbon, princ Conde-ški. 1560 so hugenoti nameravali odvzeti Guise-om vpliv na kralja tako, da bi ga ugrabili, ko se je nahajal na gradu Amboise v dolini Loire. A je bila akcija pravočasno zaustavljena. Za kazen in zgled so tedaj pobili in pobesili po mestu 1200 do 1500 hugenotov.

Katarina je sodelovala s parlamentom v poskusih umirjanja strasti. Kljub temu je v jeseni 1560  Conde začel z vojsko napadati mesta na jugu Francije. Katarina ga je poklicala na dvor in ga dala zapreti. Obsodili so ga na smrt zaradi upiranja kroni. Smrti ga je rešila bolezen kralja Franca.  Katarina je v zameno za Conde-jevo izpustitev od kralja Navarre dosegla zagotovilo, da ne bo nasprotoval njenemu regentstvu v primeru Francove smrti.

Regentka Karlu IX.

Franc II. je 1560 umrl in nasledstvo je prevzel Katarinin drugi sin kot  Karel IX. Devetletnemu so imenovali Katarino za regentko. Sestala se je z verskimi voditelji z obeh strani, a so se razšli, ne da bi izravnali nasprotja. (Katarina po mnenju nekaterih zgodovinarjev ni uspela zato, ker je podcenjevala moč verskega prepričanja in je videla rešitev predvsem v dogovoru o političnih vprašanjih.) Kljub temu je izdala saint-germain-ski tolerančni edikt, s katerim je hugenotom dovolila bogoslužje zunaj mest. V odgovor je marca 1562 vojvoda Guise-ški napadel hugenote, ki so molili v nekem skednju pri Wassy-ju, ubil 74 in ranil 104 ljudi. Pariške množice so ga slavile kot junaka, hugenoti pa so napovedali maščevanje. Masaker pri Wassy-ju je sprožil državljansko vojno, ki je s presledki trajala naslednjih 36 let.

V mesecu dni sta Luis de Bourbon, princ Conde-ški in admiral Gaspard de Coligny zbrala vojsko 1.800 mož. Povezala sta se z Anglijo in zavzemala mesto za mestom. Anglija je zavzela Le Havre. Katarina se je sestala s Coligny-jem, a ta ni pristal na umik. Zato je napadla s kraljevo vojsko in hitro zavzela postojanko hugenotov Ruen. V bojih je padel kralj Navarre Antonie de Bourbon. A kmalu nato je ob zmagi v Orleansu hugenotski vohun ustrelil vojvodo Guise-škega v hrbet. Katarina je bila vesela smrti glavnega akterja sovražnosti. Obe vojski je združila pod francosko zastavo in pregnala Angleže iz Le Havre-a.

Karel IX. polnoleten

1563 je  Karel IX. postal formalno polnoleten, a se ni dosti zanimal za politiko. S Katarino sta z dvorom 16 mesecev  potovala po deželi in pri tem v Mâconu obiskala tudi kraljico Jeanne III. Navarrsko. Na španski meji se je Katarina sestala s svojo hčerko kraljico Elizabeto (1565). Srečanju je prisostvoval vojvoda Alba, ki se je kasneje na Nizozemskem kot španski upravitelj s pretirano strogostjo bojeval proti upornim protestantom.

Septembra 1567 so skušali hugenoti z vdorom v grad Montceaux ugrabiti kralja in kraljico, ki pa sta uspela uiti. Dogodek je bil verjetno prelomen v Katarininem odnosu do hugenotov, ki jim odslej ni več mogla zaupati kot odgovornim političnim partnerjem. Hugenoti so se utrdili  v La Rochelle na zahodni obali. Pridružila sta se jim kraljica Jeanne d'Albert in njen 15 letni sin Henrik Burbon-ski.

1570 se je kralj poročil z Elizabeto Avstrijsko, hčerjo Maksimilijana II., cesarja svetega rimskega cesarstva.

1571 je dobil vpliv nad Karlom IX. vodja hugenotov general Coligny, ki je kralju prigovarjal, da bi lahko poenotil interese sprtih strani tako, da bi njuni vojski, združeni pod francosko zastavo, osebno popeljal na Nizozemsko, kjer so se protestanti uprli Špancem.

Katarina je imela drugačen načrt. Uspela je prepričati  Jeanne d'Albert v koristnost poroke med njenim sinom Henrikom Navarrskim in Katarinino najmlajšo hčerko Margareto. Med pripravami na poroko je Jeanne v Parizu zbolela in umrla.

Poroka je bila 19. avgusta 1572 v cerkvi Notre-Dame. V Parizu se je zbralo mnogo hugenotov iz vse Francije. Ozračje je bilo naelektreno. Ko so se slavnosti končale, je tretji dan po poroki neznanec s strelom z okna ranil admirala Coligny-ja, ko je šel po ulici. Pričakovati je bilo silovit odziv hugenotov. A čez dva dni, v noči na 24. avgust (šentjernejska noč) so množično napadli katoličani. V pokolu, ki je trajal 5 dni, na deželi pa potem še dlje, je padlo na tisoče hugenotov. Da si je rešil življenje, je Henrik Navarrski prestopil v katoliško vero in se nekaj let skrival na francoskem dvoru.

Hugenoti so takoj obdolžili Katarino, da jim je nastavila past. Takšno stališče je bilo politično po godu tudi Guise-ovim katoličanom. Katarine se je tedaj oprijel sloves machiavellistične vladarice.

Čas vladanja Henrika III.

1574 je umrl tudi Karel IX. in nasledil ga je Katarinin tretji sin Henrik III. ( ki je bil eno leto prej izvoljen za kralja poljsko-litvanske skupnosti, a se je sedaj tej vlogi odpovedal). Henrik je bil formalno polnoleten, a je bil po značaju nestanoviten, pred dolžnostmi se je zatekal k veri. Vse do pred smrti je bil odvisen od dela matere in njenih ministrov. Katarina se je tako znašla v vlogi izvršitelja in pogajalca brez pooblastil.

Katarinin najmlajši sin Franc Hercul, tedaj dedič krone, se je povezal s protestanti, kar je Henrika prisililo, da je v beaulieu-skem ediktu hugenotom popustil kot še nikoli. Nazadnje je Franc deloval na Nizozemskem, tudi tam samovoljno in nepremišljeno, tako da je izgubil vso svojo vojsko. 1584 je v Parizu umrl za malarijo. Ker je bil Henrik III. brez zakonskih otrok, je z njegovo smrtjo postal dedič prestola Burbon Henrik Navarrski (po dedni liniji naslednik svetega kralja Ludvika IX.).

Katarina je imela težave tudi s hčerko Margareto. Ta je dvakrat pribežala z dvora kralja Nevarre, kjer naj bi živela ob svojem možu Henriku, ki se je 1576 vrnil s francoskega dvora in prestopil nazaj v protestantizem. Na svojem posestvu je živela z ljubimcem. Ker se ljubimcu ni hotela odpovedati, ga je Katarina dala obglaviti, Margarete pa ni nikdar več srečala.

Katarina se ni nehala prizadevati za mir. Kljub letom je neumorno potovala in se srečevala s katoliškimi in hugenotskimi voditelji. Ljudje so šele takrat spoznali njeno resnično željo za ohranitev enotnosti dežele in jo začeli ceniti. Ko se je devetinpetdesetletna jeseni 1579 vrnila z 18 mesečne turneje po južni Franciji, so jo množice in parlament z ovacijami pričakali pred Parizom.

Smrt Franca Hercula 1584 je Guise-om spet vzbudila upanje, da bodo po smrti Henrika III. lahko na francoski prestol postavili katoličana. Njihov kandidat je bil kardinal Charles de Bourbon, mlajši brat Antonie-a, očeta Henrika Navarrskega. Henrik Guise-ški, sin Franca, je prevzel vodstvo katoliške Lige.  Zbral je veliko vojsko in sklenil sporazum s Španijo o njenem financiranju. Henriku III. ni preostalo drugega, kot da je pristal na vse zahteve Lige.

Katoličani so tedaj pritisnili na protestante tudi drugod po Evropi. Španija je pripravljala napad na Anglijo. V Angliji so obglavili Marijo Stuart. Liga je zavzela francoska pristanišča ob atlantski obali.

Henrik III. je hotel najeti švicarske enote, da bi varovale Pariz, a Parižani so šli na barikade in objavili, da priznavajo edino vojvodo Guise-škega. Ko se je Katarina povzpela na barikade, da bi jim govorila, je niso hoteli poslušati.

Septembra 1588 je Henrik III. na gradu Blois sklical vlado. Ne da bi se posvetoval s Katarino, je odpustil vse ministre. 23. decembra je na grad poklical Henrika Guise-škega in ga dal usmrtiti, skupaj z njegovim bratom. Potem je o tem obvestil Katarino, ki je na gradu ležala s pljučnico. 5. januarja 1589 je Katarina umrla.

Katarino so pokopali na gradu Blois. Kasneje so jo prenesli v baziliko Saint-Denis. Leta 1793 so revolucionarne množice vrgle njene kosti v skupno grobnico.

Sedem mesecev po Katarinini smrti so Henrika III. zabodli. Henrik Navarrski je še enkrat prestopil v katolicizem in začel dinastijo Burbonov. Politična preračunljivost mu je za ženo namenila Marijo Medičejsko, ki je  nasledila Katarino na prestolu francoske kraljice.

How to get, clear and understand Volvo diagnostic codes on 1992-1995 Volvos. To start, the Ignition key must be in position II, engine not running. Open the hood. Locate the two diagnostic sockets just inboard of the washer fill cap.
Looking for 1996 to 1998 Volvo Trouble Code Help?
Or Read codes on 1999+ Volvos?
We in the 850 family who have 1996 and 1997 model years have it easy. Check Engine light comes on? We just plug in our code readers and a magical system called OBD-II tells us what code(s) are causing the CE light. Same with 1998 model year Volvos, like S70, V70 and XC70 models. Then after that, codes expanded from the OBD-II to include Volvo-specific codes that OBD-II readers cannot retrieve, although many overlap in meaning.
Read Codes on a 1999+ Volvo?
Guess what? OBD-II readers will read the OBD-II codes these cars set. The OBD-II port is physically the same. I used my reader on my ex's 2004 V70R — lower driver's side interior, near your left knee — and it correctly reported OBD-II codes. Here is the specific 1999+ Volvo DTC code page for "the rest of the story".
To start, the Ignition key must be in position II, engine not running. Open the hood. Locate the two diagnostic sockets just inboard of the washer fill cap. The "A" connector (shown above) has a jumper that is stored in the lid of the "A" diagnostic connector. The jumper is used for both diagnostic connectors.
Listed below is the information retrievable from the various connections.
Normally "Check Engine Light" information will be found in A2. Put the jumper into A2 and push the black button for one second. Count the red LED light as it blinks back information, blink, blink, pause, blink, blink, blink, pause, blink, blink, is an example of the response you would receive. 2-3-2 would be the code retrieved, now push the button again for one second, again count the blinks, keep checking for codes until one of them repeats, this means you have read all the codes.
Now to clear the codes, push and hold the button for 6-7 seconds, release and as soon as the LED comes on push and hold the button for another 6-7 seconds. Now push the button for one second and read the codes again, you should get 1-1-1 (no faults).
Turn the ignition off and then start the car, the check engine light should be out. It is always a good idea to check for codes, clear them and then drive the vehicle to see if they return before replacing parts. The transmission can ask the check engine light to be turned on, so if you try clearing A2 codes and they wont go away try reading the transmission (A1), clear them , and then go back to A2.

The State of Illinois Now Requires Public Universities to Offer Courses on Black History
Filed in African-American History, Black Studies on January 8, 2019
A new bill passed into law in the state of Illinois requires all state-operated colleges and universities in the state to include at least one course on Black history. The educational institutions can meet the requirement by offering an online course on Black history. In 1981, the legislature mandated every public school district in the state to teach Black history.
The new legislation states that each state college or university "shall offer a course studying the events of Black History, including the history of the African slave trade, slavery in America, and the vestiges of slavery in this country. These events shall include not only the contributions made by individual African Americans in government and in the arts, humanities, and sciences to the economic, cultural, and political development of the United States and Africa, but also the socioeconomic struggle that African-Americans experienced collectively in striving to achieve fair and equal treatment under the laws of this nation. The taking of this course shall constitute an affirmation by students of their commitment to respect the dignity of all races and peoples and to forever eschew every form of discrimination in their lives and careers."
Elizabeth Todd-Breland, an assistant professor of history at the University of Illinois at Chicago told the Chicago Sun-Times that "given the way that Black history has been ignored or distorted — particularly the history of slavery in some secondary textbooks and curriculum — I think requiring Black history to be offered at the postsecondary level is important. It will also be important to monitor the implementation of this to make sure these courses are not marginalized among other requirements."
Dr. Todd-Breland is the author of the book A Political Education: Black Politics and Education Reform in Chicago Since the 1960s (University of North Carolina Press, 2018). She joined the faculty at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2012 after earning a Ph.D. in history at the University of Chicago.

Long overdue, although I am not particularly optimistic that forced familiarity with slavery and its continuing after-effects will be well received by the intended audiences. Nevertheless, if it broadens even a few white minds concerning the Afro-American experience in these united states, it will be worthwhile. This type of requirement be nationwide!

Do you love riding your motorcycle in the Fresno area? We have some of the most beautiful roads and highways in the Central California Valley area. Many motorcyclists enjoy riding through our beautiful communities. However, motorcyclists must take steps to protect themselves from distracted drivers who fail to yield the right of way to motorcyclists. From 2013 to 2014, California motorcycle fatalities increased 12.1 percent from 463 in 2013 to 519 in 2014.
If you enjoy riding your motorcycle, please take precautions to reduce your risk of serious injuries in a motorcycle crash. Below are five pieces of motorcycle equipment that can provide additional protection in the event of a motorcycle crash.
Motorcycle helmets save lives! This fact has been proven time and again by various studies by different groups. Unfortunately, some riders do not like being told they must wear a helmet when they ride their motorcycle; however, if you want to protect yourself, you will wear a helmet. A motorcycle helmet protects your head during a collision. A motorcyclist receives the full impact of a collision because there is nothing between the rider and the other vehicle to protect the rider. A helmet can reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and death from a motorcycle crash.
Neck braces are another piece of motorcycle equipment that reduces your risk of serious injury in a motorcycle crash. However, many motorcyclists choose not to wear a neck brace because they do not like the restriction, they do not want to spend the money on a neck brace, or they do not like how a neck brace looks. When you consider how many neck and spinal cord injuries from motorcycle crashes cause permanent paralysis, you may change your mind about a neck brace.
Gloves protect your hands during a motorcycle crash. When you are struck by another vehicle and you are thrown from your motorcycle, it is instinctive to put your hands up to break your fall. Thick, padded, leather gloves can reduce injuries from abrasions in a crash.
Motorcycle jackets provide another layer of padding and protection during a motorcycle crash. A well-constructed jacket can help protect internal organs during a collision.
In a motorcycle crash, the first area that typically comes in contact with the pavement is your legs, ankles, and feet. During a collision, you instinctively put your feet down to brace your fall. Injuries to this area of the body are quite common in motorcycle crashes. Protecting your legs, ankles, and feet with riding boots can reduce the risk of months of painful recuperation and rehabilitation.
Do You Need a Fresno Motorcycle Crash Attorney?
If you have been injured in a motorcycle crash, you may be facing substantial financial damages in addition to the physical pain and emotional suffering you will endure as you struggle to recover from your injuries. Our motorcycle accident lawyers can help protect your legal right to receive full compensation from the driver who caused the collision.

I Am Sexual Chapel
By Jarren Rogers
A special chapel discussing LGBTQ issues will be held tonight at 6 p.m. in Boone Convocation Center.
The idea for this exclusive chapel came about after university chaplain and assistant professor of Christian worship Shawna Gaines spoke with LGBTQ students on campus.
"It came about from conversations with students on campus and how they find their place in the Christian community here," said Gaines.
University president Dan Boone will open the chapel with a few words of introduction. The chapel will feature junior Dylan Green and the director of Equip Ministries Peter Valk.
Following the service students can gather in the fireside room in CLCS to ask Green or Valk questions.
These conversations about sexuality aren't so much about the issue at hand but caring for the individuals that are effected.
"It is important that we have this conversation with love, grace and truth. For us at Trevecca, this isn't just another hot topic issue to be argued and debated. This is about our students who have names and stories. This is about the witness of the Christian community," said Gaines.
Some students think it is important to have conversations about sexuality because it has become taboo to talk about.
"It is important that we talk about it so that we can understand it better rather than it be some monster that we are afraid of," said senior Brady Smith.
Other students feel that Trevecca is the perfect place to have these conversations.
"Having a healthy and safe place to talk about these kinds of things eases the awkwardness of discussing this seemingly taboo subject. Sexuality is a very normal and natural thing and it should be talked about it as if it is," said senior Maddie Clark.
Gaines urges students to continue to have these conversations even after the service.
"I hope more conversations continue as we all seek to be more faithful in our call to follow Jesus and love our neighbor as our self," said Gaines.

Een erytroblast ontstaat tijdens de erytropoëse en is een voorloper van de rode bloedcel. Na de celdeling van de pro-erytroblasten ontstaan allereerst de basofiele erytroblasten. Hun celkern is relatief klein en bevat samengeklonterde chromatine. Door verdere verkleining van de celkern en afname van het basofiele karakter ontstaan de polychromatische erytroblasten (ook wel macroblasten genoemd). Deze synthetiseren met behulp van de ribosoom-achtige granules de rode bloedkleurstof hemoglobine en hopen deze stof in hun cel op, waardoor het cytoplasma met zure kleurstoffen (acidofiel) meer en meer kleurbaar wordt. Uiteindelijk ontstaat dan de normoblast.

Een megaloblast is een ongewoon grote erytroblast die gepaard gaat met pernicieuze anemie en deficiëntie (samen genoemd megaloblastische anemie).

Ontwikkeling
De volgende drie stadia in de ontwikkeling van een erytroblast kunnen onderscheiden worden.
