Whale Watching in DC: Where to Find High Rollers

Share All sharing options for: Whale Watching in DC: Where to Find High Rollers
What makes a restaurant appealing to a high roller? Is it expensive menu items? An impressive reserve wine list? The potential to spot a celebrity there? All these factors contributed when compiling a Guide to Whale-Watching in DC. But there are also other criteria that come into play — some restaurants are a particular draw for segments of the business community, or seem to find a disproportionate number of trust fund kids hanging out there. Check out Eater's guide, and share your own thoughts on restaurants for high rollers in the comments.
Bourbon Steak Washington DC
The restaurant within the Four Seasons is an obvious choice. Menu items like a $68 lobster pot pie, an extensive and expensive wine list, a power spot vibe (particularly the bar), and a location within the city's top hotel all contribute to the restaurant's potential for whale watching.
2800 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC 20007
Ristorante Tosca
Tosca isn't the trendiest restaurant in town, but it's always been a DC power spot for politicos and businessmen alike. Whales flock to the well-regarded housemade pastas, and the place's casual sister restaurant, Posto, was an early favorite of powerful Obama administration members.

P.J. Clarke's
P.J. Clarke's has been a favorite of the city's real estate bigwigs. Now that its Sidecar bar has converted into a private club, the potential for whale sightings there has increased.
1600 K St. NW, Washington, DC 20006
Silver Diner
A diner? Believe it or not, the Silver Diner is an office away from home for many players in the Tysons Corner business community.
8101 Fletcher St., McLean, VA 22102
Any location of The Palm is probably a safe bet for finding whales, but this one, located near the Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner, manages to draw high-end hotel guests and business leaders alike.
1750 Tysons Boulevard, McLean, VA 22102
The downtown steakhouse Capital Grille has always been a favorite among wealthy Republicans in DC (Dems, best not head to the bar on election night).
601 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20004
Inn at Little Washington
The picturesque Inn at Little Washington is a frequent getaway for the city's high rollers. Its exquisite setting, epic reserve wine list and highly praised menu from chef Patrick O'Connell all contribute to its status.
Middle Street, Washington, VA 22747
1789, which has one of the city's most beautiful and iconic dining rooms, is a favorite for destination whales and residents of tony Georgetown. Whale bait menu items range from sweetbreads to steaks.
1226 36th St NW, Washington, DC 20007
Marcel's Restaurant
Marcel's, with its French wines, boudin blanc and strong cheese program, appeals to a wealthy clientele. It's still tough to get a reservation, and regulars are treated like kings and queens.
2401 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20037
Foodie high rollers know that Komi's the place to drop major cash. The tasting menu centric restaurant is probably the city's most acclaimed eatery. Johnny Monis draws in diners with pristine crudo, carefully made pastas and big finish items such as suckling pig and goat.
1509 17th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20036
The Prime Rib
It's one of the only places in town that still enforces a dress code, and the old school atmosphere of the Prime Rib draws high rollers (many of them male) nostalgic for the old days.
2020 K St NW, Washington, DC 20006
2941 Restaurant
2941 was even more of a whale-friendly destination before it renovated into a more bistro-style setting. But the restaurant still boasts gorgeous views, a deep reserve wine list and proximity to high rollers in the tech community (it's housed in the General Dynamics building).
2941 Fairview Park Dr, Falls Church, VA 22042
With its formal room, piano and attentive service, Bombay Club evokes fine dining. Its proximity to the White House has made it a draw for many powerful politicos over the years, including the Clintons.
815 Connecticut Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20006
Looking for a trust fund whale? You might find him at Smith Point, which has always been a favorite spot for the young and wealthy Republicans of Georgetown.
1338 Wisconsin Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20007
The Park at 14th is one of the city's high end nightclubs, and tends to draw an older, wealthier crowd than some of the other K Street venues.
920 14th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20533
Cafe Milano is probably the most celebrity-populated restaurant in DC, and also draws the high-end Georgetown crowd.
3251 Prospect Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20007
L'Auberge Chez Francois
Monied McLean is all about Chez Francois, but politicians and other high rollers are willing to take the scenic drive for this classic French favorite.
332 Springvale Road, Great Falls, VA 22066
Old Hickory Steakhouse
Wealthy conventioneers at the Gaylord often don't end up leaving National Harbor and find themselves instead at this high-end steakhouse within the hotel.
201 Waterfront St, National Harbor, MD 20745
Central Michel Richard
With Citronelle closed for repairs, high rollers who love Michel Richard are now flocking to his bistro, Central, where you still can get whale-friendly items like lobster burgers.
Reasonably priced, family style portions of Italian food? Doesn't sound like whale territory. But between Carmine's expansive private dining rooms, its special secret entrance and the city's lack of red sauce joints, this all ends up to a lot of high rollers ending up at the Penn Quarter restaurant, which recently won a Rammy for "Power Spot".
425 7th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20004
Equinox, near the White House, is one of DC's original fine dining, farm-to-table restaurants. Political figures, real estate industry vets and more end up at the power lunch destination from chef Todd Gray.
818 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20006
Founding Farmers
Founding Farmers draws a major power breakfast crowd, and getting a reservation at the trendy farm-to-table restaurant is always a challenge. Make sure you don't end up spotting a tourist, though, if you're out whale watching.
1924 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20431
Seasons | Four Seasons Hotel Washington DC
Seasons is the town's biggest power breakfast, not to mention its most expensive brunch at $80. Like any Four Seasons dining option, you get plenty of wealthy clientele due to the hotel's guests, but the restaurant is a favorite among business leaders and politicians, too.

Sushi Taro
Sushi Taro's where to find sushi-appreciating whales. Its omakase tasting menu (which usually costs around $150) is the most highly praised in town.
Bistro Bis
Bistro Bis is a haunt for Capitol Hill high rollers.
15 E Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001
202) 661-2700
Old Ebbitt Grill
Old Ebbitt draws a diverse crowd due to its size and proximity to the White House, but there you'll discover high rollers attracted to its oysters and its masculine, classic DC atmosphere.
Wine focused whales know that Plume's wine cellar private room is one of the most intimate venues in town.
1200 16th St. NW, Washington, DC 20036
P.O.V. Lounge
P.O.V. markets itself as a place to "see and be seen", due to its exclusive vibe and killer views of the city. Whales who go for the red velvet rope thing can be spotted here.
515 15th St. NW, Washington, DC 20004
Adour's high prices, French-inspired fare and location within the historic St. Regis Hotel all make it a favorite spot for high rollers who want a civilized atmosphere.
Blue Duck's Park Hyatt location and West End neighborhood always made it a high roller favorite, but recent buzz about its improved cooking has made it even more of a cherished destination.
Restaurant Eve
Wealthy Old Town residents flock to the acclaimed Restaurant Eve, particularly for its wine selection and Tasting Room.
110 South Pitt Street, Alexandria, VA 22314
The Source by Wolfgang Puck
Power spot The Source draws a young and powerful crowd in its lounge, as well as political players and residents from the nearby luxury apartment complex.
575 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20001
After Minibar's price increase, Rogue 24 is actually a less expensive alternative for those seeking molecular gastronomy. But R.J. Cooper's experimental tasting menus (various prices, most $75-$135) still draw a high roller crowd.

Why the credit crunch may soon force China to toughen its export terms.
For years the United States has blamed its huge trade deficit on China. What many haven't appreciated is that underneath China's export surplus lies a problem — for China. Chinese manufacturers have long provided financing to U.S. buyers — the bulk of China's exports to the United States are on open account, with payment periods averaging 60 days. That results in a high cost of capital, with a one-year benchmark lending rate of 7.2 percent.
Chinese exporters are now feeling the pain of the U.S. credit crunch. Export growth to the United States slowed in the first half of this year. More important, U.S. buyers, once regarded as the most reliable clients, have started to delay payments. Some have asked to extend the payment period to 120 days, while others may not be able to pay at all.
The situation is rapidly deteriorating. According to China Export & Credit Insurance Corp. (Sinosure), the state-sponsored export-insurance provider, the export-credit-sale default rate rose 230 percent in the first half of this year compared with last year. Sinosure, which insured about $3 billion of China's $120 billion trade with the United States in the same time period, has tripled its bad-debt provision — to 3 percent of the total amount covered this year from 1 percent last year. Meanwhile, of course, the vast majority of trade with the United States is not insured, which seems likely to trigger a significant increase in credit-sale defaults.
The consumer-electronics industry has been hit the hardest. Many export insurers have advised Chinese electronics manufacturers to reduce credit sales to certain U.S. buyers and even to demand prepayment. Chinese exporters are reluctant to tighten their terms for fear of losing clients, but as one export-insurance broker says, they may come to realize that they have significant leverage because U.S. retailers need low-cost Chinese goods more than ever.
China's international trade has a related structural problem: China imports a substantial volume of commodities and high-tech products, which often require prepayment, but its exports are predominantly in low-cost manufacturing, a realm in which it is harder to negotiate trade terms. A certain inexperience in aspects of international trade has worsened the situation.
Of China's $24 billion in exports to India, for example, most were on open account, with payment due in three or even six months. India's $14 billion in exports to China, however, were mostly on terms in which payment was expected more quickly — sometimes as Indian goods were on their way to China.
As the credit crunch worsens and as the Chinese government continues its policy of credit tightening, Chinese companies will realize that they can no longer afford to do that. They may soon adopt hardball tactics in global trade negotiations.

One of my fond memories from being an undergraduate in the early 1990s was the fervent conviction of the campus left that their opponents were not entitled to express their beliefs. Some of the more erudite among them, like Catherine MacKinnon, would formulate elaborate theories explaining why freedom of speech was a pernicious myth. But mostly the opinion took the form of slogans. Racism is not free speech. Sexism is not free speech. And since anybody to the right of, oh, Ralph Nader was a racist and a sexist, then that meant that nobody outside of the left-wing ought to be permitted to express themselves.
The slogan of the protesters here was "Michael Oren! Propagating murder is not an expression of free speech!" Of course, you will note that at no point in Oren's speech does he murder anybody. So, we are back to the foundational belief that free speech ought not to apply to anybody who expresses views the campus left dislikes.

Rollsigns from Australia
This mylar, side lower position rollsign was likely designed one
of the 30 Mercedes Benz O305G's type buses. The exposures
represent routes from the North Sydney depot, and is one of the first
to be printed on mylar. There is no print date on the sign, though. It
is a partial rollsign, with only 27 esposures that would have been
near the middle of the roll. A full roll would have over 50 exposures.
(Special thanks to Joshua Power of New South Wales for info assistance.)
This linen side route number rollsign is from one of Brisbane's late model "Phoenix"
tram cars. These last eight cars (#547 to #554) were built in 1963 / 1964 after the fire
at the Paddington Depot on September 28, 1962, where 65 older cars, about 1/3 of
the fleet, were destroyed. They were called the Phoenix cars to pay homage to the
system's rise from the fire, as some of the newer cars' components were salvaged
from the older cars. The tram system's resurrection didn't last long though. On April
13, 1969, the last car finished it's run and the tram system was shut down.
(Special thanks to Jim Benzie of Queensland for assisting with the historic info.)
Brisbane "Phoenix" tram #548, the type of car that would have housed
this side route number sign, is seen at the Sydney Tramway Museum
(acquired in 1974). Built in 1963 by Brisbane City Council after a fire a
Paddington tram depot destroyed 65 trams. One of 8 new trams were
built using salvaged and spare parts. The eight "Phoenix" trams were
the only ones in the fleet to have these side route number sign fixtures.

The "Phoenix" logo that was on each of the last eight cars.
Sydney Mercedes Benz bus #3092 (left) is seen with another, privately
preserved. A bus similar to this would be the type to use this rollsign.
(Both photos by Joshua Power. Used with permission.)
This is how the side sign fixture looks on these buses. This rollsign
would be for the bottom-right position, where "EXPRESS" is on this one.

Synthetic lash extensions are carefully applied one by one to each individual natural eyelash. These extensions never touch the skin, and fall out as your natural lashes shed. They look like they're growing out of your skin, and have a very natural appearance!


rising wedge but maybe still one small push up at least?
Delta volume (bid ask line crossers) negative so far. Order book as you can see has resistance at the overnight high and Friday's high (not a surprise). I added back relative volume. It says summertime is here.
FT71 said he is going to use the sit on your hands strategy until he sees an impulsive move.
Choppy congested day means bring on the cat videos!
I see the sell orders are trailing price down while the buy orders are increasing as price approaches. Indicators (different chart) down bias but price not cooperating to any real extent. Looking for a sign like a double bottom.
For what its worth. FT71 spent time this morning talking about the see saw trading at ES 2700. His point was do not treat trading around century marks the same, these are important milestones.
Amazon Prime Day, kicks off July 16 (today) at 3 p.m. ET. This year's event will be the longest ever, with deals running for 36 hours.
WHERE IS BABY JANET'S GHOST??
SPY double bottom or bust, QQQ triple bottom or bust.
possible mm, may test Friday's low but still so far looks like a range day.

6 Famous Dogs from around the World
It's not just humans that earn the status of fame, animals also get recognised for their good deeds too! More specifically for this article we'll be focusing on famous dogs from across the globe.
When researching for this piece, we realised there are A LOT of famous canines out there, so we've kept it down to 6 special individuals for now. We'll definitely be back for more later on though!

Faith has to be one of the most unique dogs to ever walk the earth. If you thought all dogs were 4-legged animals, then think again, as Faith was bi-pedal (meaning she walked on two legs).
Born in Oklahoma City with only three legs, Faith only had two fully developed hind legs. Her third front leg was deformed and had to be amputated when she was 7 months old after it began to atrophy. Faith's owner, Jude Stringfellow, adopted her after her mother was found trying to smother her due to her deformities.
Vets advised to have Faith euthanized since it was no quality of life for a dog with only two hind legs, but Jude wouldn't give up on her. With the help of a spoonful of peanut butter, Jude taught Faith to hop and from there onwards, Faith managed to teach herself to walk upright on her hind legs.
Faith became quite well known to soldiers as she visited over 2,300 wounded warriors from around the world in hospitals and wards. She was given a non-commision rank of E5 Sgt. at Fort Lewis in Washington, and wore her ACU jacket proudly on visits to soldiers.
Unfortunately, in September 2014, Faith passed away at the age of 11. However, she will be remembered by many for eternity and had an amazing life.
Image: About Dogs
It's a sad fact that dogs don't live as long as humans. The average lifespan for a dog can be anywhere between 9 to 15 roughly, depending on the breed, but Bluey took this to the extreme.
Bluey was an Australian Cattle Dog born in June 1910, but lived on until November 1939. That's a whopping 29 years and 5 months, making Bluey the oldest dog to ever be verified by the Guinness World Records.
There are claims for other dogs that have lived longer, such as Chilla who allegedly lived to 32 and Maggie that supposedly lived to 30. However, since none have been verified, Bluey still holds the title for longest living dog.

Great Danes are renowned for being tall, but hailing from Michigan was Zeus – the tallest of the lot. When stood on his hind legs, Zeus measured 7 feet and 5 inches long and stood at 3'8″ from the foot to his withers.
This made Zeus the tallest dog that's ever been known and was verified twice in 2012 and 2013 by the Guinness World Records. I bet he was a joy to have sat on your lap when you sit on the sofa!
Sadly, Great Danes aren't known to live very long and Zeus passed at the age of 5 in 2014 after showing symptoms of old age for a while.

Laika was a Soviet space dog, and proved to humanity that living organisms could survive being launched into orbit and survive in a micro-g environment after a lot of scientists were doubtful of its possibility.
She was a stray dog from the streets of Moscow before being selected to be the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2. In 1957, Laika became the first ever animal sent to space to orbit the Earth, and paved way for the future of human space flight.
Things get a bit sour here though, as Laika was never expected to survive the flight regardless. It was originally claimed that Laika was euthanised by oxygen depletion so she would go unconscious and pass peacefully on her 6th day in orbit, but in 2002 it was revealed she died within a few hours of the flight due to overheating.
Laika's experiment caused a lot of controversy and debate about the use of animals in science. Her loss was described as "regrettable" and not having her retrieved alive was "undoubtedly a great loss for science". After the Soviet's collapse in 1991, some scientists displayed regret for allowing Laika to die, claiming they didn't learn enough to justify her death.
In 2008, Russian officials unveiled a monument dedicated to Laika in her honour, which depicted a dog on top of a rocket.

Barry der Menschenretter, or just Barry for short, was an early breed of St. Bernard that worked as a mountain rescue dog in Switzlerland between 1800 and 1812. He was a hero, and has been credited to saving over 40 lives during his lifetime.
He was a lighter breed than the modern St. Bernard but is described as the most famous of his kind due to his heroic efforts as a mountain rescue dog. He retired in 1812 and lived on until 1814, and after his death his body was passed into the care of the Natural History museum of Bern where his skin was preserved through taxidermy.
One of Barry's most famous rescue stories was that of a young boy found asleep in an ice cave after being trapped by an avalanche. Barry warmed up the boy's body sufficiently by licking him, and then moved the boy about and onto his back where he was carried back to the hospice and survived.
Not all heroes wear capes! At the Great St. Bernard Hospice in Switzerland where Barry worked, there has always been one dog named in his honour.
Heart-kun
Image: Pinterest
Born in 2007 in Ōdate, Japan, comes a very special Chihuahua. Heart-kun has a perfect brown heart-shaped patch on his white fur, making him very popular to the public. His breeder has been breeding for a long time, but never had they come across such a unique marking.
Heart-kun's owner, Sakurada, gets many requests to have her dog bought off her but she refuses every single one, as she believes Heart-kun's unique marking is bringing her and her family good luck. This isn't just superstition either, since two months after Heart-kun's birth Sakurada's sister won the lottery!
This pup is still with us today, and ever since being featured on a Japanese TV ad in the first place has been quite the local celebrity in the country. He's also a dad to four puppies, a few of which also bare a heart shape on their fur.
We hope you found these 6 famous canines interesting! We'll definitely be back to covering more at a later point, but for now let us know if you have any favourite famous pups you wish to bring to the light!

Recent analysis of Australian port state control (PSC) deficiencies has revealed several detentions due to incorrect use of charts. The Australian Maritime Safety Agency (AMSA) has also reported an apparent increase in the use of unofficial charts, with instances of ships using scanned and printed charts to navigate through environmentally critical areas such as the Great Barrier Reef.
AMSA continues to remind masters and operators of ships coming to Australia that carriage of appropriate navigational charts is critical to safe operations and protection of the marine environment. This issue affects all ships, not just those trading to Australia. Therefore, all owners and operators should ensure that charts and nautical publications are always correct and up-to-date for the present and the next intended voyage.
Please contact your Classification Society for more details. You can also contact Datema for information on how to use charts correctly and how to obtain appropriate navigational charts.


Ready to buy a new home in Sevenoaks? Failing to check that a lawyer is on your lender's list of approved solicitors can put your Sevenoaks transaction at risk of delay or failure.
Only LenderPanel.com provides a subset of authorised Sevenoaks conveyancers for over 130 lenders.
I am considering applying for a Aldermore mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Sevenoaks with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Aldermore will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I'm refinancing my current home to a BTL mortgage with Barclays and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on a second property. The location we are interested in is Sevenoaks. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of lenders and link together the two deals?
Make use of our search tool on this page to check that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are your lawyer should be able to tie up the two transactions but you should have a chat with you lawyer and make apparent your expectations and needs.
I am using a search engine for the term conveyancing in Sevenoaks it brings up many solicitorslocally. How do I determine which is the right property lawyer for purchase transaction?
The ideal way of choosing the right conveyancer is via personal referral, so enquire of colleagues and family who have acquired a property in Sevenoaks or the local estate agent or financial adviser. Costs for conveyancing in Sevenoaks differ, so it's advisable to request at least three estimates from varying types of conveyancers. Dont forget to clarify what costs in the quote includes.
I've found a house that seems to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have just been informed that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Sevenoaks. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?
Most houses in Sevenoaks are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it's worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Sevenoaks so you should seriously consider looking for a Sevenoaks conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the landlord'spermission to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your conveyancer should advise you fully on all the issues.
With only 71 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations.

My solicitor in Sevenoaks has requested from me proof of ID documents stating that this forms part of his legal duty as a solicitor on the bank Solicitor panel. Can this be correct?

Q: Why has Visual-Studio auto-generated app.config for one application but not for another? I have a solution with 3 projects. One is a library, the other two are console apps which both use this library.
I was having problems running one of the applications - a call into my lib that calls System.Buffers.Binary.BinaryPrimitives was generating an assembly exception.
I noticed their app.config files are different:
App A
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <startup>
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1" />
    </startup>

App B
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <startup>
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1" />
    </startup>
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="System.Numerics.Vectors" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.1.4.0" newVersion="4.1.4.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.6.0" newVersion="4.0.6.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="System.Buffers" publicKeyToken="cc7b13ffcd2ddd51" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.3.0" newVersion="4.0.3.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
</configuration>
</configuration>

All those additional assemblies are dependencies of my library project, so should presumably be in both. Why the library project itself isn't referenced I don't know.
I have never touched the config files so they are autogenerated but not equivalently. Why? And how can I get VS to regenerate?
The only difference in approach I can think of is that when I started using my library in App A, VS suggested adding a reference which I accepted. In App B, I believe I added the dependency manually.

A: References are mentioned in csproj file, you can access it by right clicking your project, unload, edit. there it will look something like this. also you can manage your project references under Reference 'folder'
<ProjectReference Include="..\YourProject.csproj">
  <Project>{68836A56-12B9-4740-A78D-78F027336CBF}</Project>
  <Name>YourProject</Name>
</ProjectReference>

Mostly you do not edit app.config for reference purposes. Shortly, app.config is used for runtime settings.

Samsung Electronics saw $12 billion wiped off its market value following a massive sell-off as investors digested the company's defeat to rival Apple in a US courtroom.
Shares in South Korean Samsung – the world's biggest technology firm by revenue – dived by as much as 8%, the biggest one-day drop in nearly four years.
In the most closely watched patent squabble in years, US jurors passed a sweeping victory to Apple on Friday, awarding the Silicon Valley company $1.05 billion in damages and providing ammunition for more legal attacks on Apple's mobile-device rivals. Jurors found that Samsung infringed six of seven patents contested in the case, copying critical features of the popular iPhone and iPad, and it could now be banned from selling its key products.
There was only one patent on which the jury declined to side with Apple – covering design elements on the iPad, contradicting the judge in the case who, only two months earlier, had sided with Apple over allegations the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet copied Apple's design.
US District Judge Lucy Koh issued a pre-trial order banning Samsung from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the US according to a Reuters report. Late on Sunday, Samsung asked Koh to dissolve the order, due to the jury's finding, saying there was no proper basis for maintaining the injunction.
Samsung says it will contest the verdict which was announced after less than three days of deliberations. It increases uncertainty over the South Korean manufacturer's future products.
Simultaneously Apple's landslide victory is likely to strengthen the US firm's dominant position on the booming tablet computers market and is likely to help push aside another rival -Google whose Android software powers the Samsung products that were found to infringe Apple patents.
The phone and tablet business accounts for around 70 % of earnings for Samsung which made a net profit of $4.5 billion in the April-June quarter seeing a 48% rise in profit from a year earlier.

Spanning farm fields in Pasquotank and Perquimans counties, the Amazon Wind Farm US East, powered by Avangrid Renewables at Desert Wind, is now the first commercial-scale wind farm in North Carolina.
The wind farm reached full commercial operation this month and began delivering power in December 2016. It features 104 modern wind turbines that will produce enough energy to power the equivalent of about 61,000 U.S. homes each year.


Having 33 grandchildren is the natural consequence of having a large brood of my own. The eight children Paul and I raised seem to remember their childhood with nostalgia and joyful memories. Perhaps this is why they were open, once out the gate, to have families of their own. I watch each family as they deal with a myriad of common problems, some vexing problems and many challenging problems, raising healthy, responsible children in a perilous world.
My own mother has caused my greatest problem as I approach the issue of grandmothering. She was the perfect example and I am in a constant state of failure trying to measure up to her level on the bar. Mother had only two daughters . . . advantage number one. She had less than half of my grandchildren . . . advantage number two. She had boundless energy, a perennially youthful outlook and a heart big enough for us all . . . advantage numbers three through ten. My sister and I have commiserated for years about the fact that we are not our mother when it comes to being the type of grandmother our children enjoyed.
Each of us must find for ourselves the way we can be a meaningful part of our individual grandchild's life. Whether we have two or twenty, there is a need to bond to the generation before us and with the heritage of the past. I have always had a respect for the rights and responsibilities of parents to guide their families: counseling together, coordinating their efforts to lead little children home to that Father who trusted them in their care. It is a constant puzzle to see how Grandma, Nana or Oma fit into that mix.
My mother painted porcelain. She took each child into the paint room. They chose a piece of white china and she taught them to mix the paint, grinding it on a glass bar with the oils and showed them how to make shaded strokes with a brush. Paul used to interest the grandkids with his coin collection, his model planes, his stamp collection or his fishing gear. Grandmothers need a medium to mix little children and teen agers into a malleable situation of trust and love. It could be butter and flour on a pastry liner. It could be stories in a picture book. It could be nubby yarn and a crochet hook. It could be seeds and a trowel in a square foot garden. It could be scrapbooking the pictures from the prom. The project produces the memories. The memories produce the bond.
I have found that little children love their grandmother without much prompting. It is my challenge to nurture that natural affection into something pure and lasting. Tessa's mom told her many times that her Grandma was coming for a visit. The excitement grew along with the rest of the children until at the airport there was a stranger giving a hug. "Where is the brown grandma?" Tessa asked her mother. I reserved my concern until that night when I was helping her into bed and saw my picture on the dresser. It was taken years ago when I had dark hair and a more youthful countenance. There was the brown grandma she had expected. By the end of my visit, we were confidants and she danced for me and let me hold her, a rare thing for that busy, independent 4 year old. It is a needful thing to keep close contact, even with those far away, to remind them of your abiding love and faith in them.
I see my duty to my grandchildren as a memory giver. I remind them of who they are by exemplifying how they should live. I remind them of their history and who has gone before, what trials and triumphs they had. Grandfather Derrick had a tragic auto accident. He was incapacitated for months but kept his charming sense of humor throughout it all. Grandfather Bunker would get you out of bed the morning after the prom saying, "He who dances the night away, the morning after, the fiddler must pay." I always felt his expectation to be a responsible person. We pass the torch of our expectations, our ethics, our humor, our principles and traditions. Without us, where is the grounding?
We hold a mirror to the future. You may have a child who has lost his or her eternal identity for a season. Grandparents can bridge the gap between struggling parents and children, to offer hope and patience. You may be the peaceful place it takes to regain the vision of who they are and what they are meant to accomplish. Never let them stray so far that you can't hold them close to your heart and let them know that you love them without condition. Someday they may need to rely on that trust that you have placed in them to make a U-turn in their life.
I have a long prayer roll every morning. Going through eight children, their spouses and 33 grandchildren is a daunting task. Bless our missionary. Bless Rachael and the baby due in November. Bless Sadie in her test at the University. Bless Jasmine with wisdom and courage. Bless Morgan with uplifting companions. Bless Lindsey's school teacher. I am thankful for blessing Devin and Braeden with safety through the hurricane. I rely on the power of prayer to work miracles in their lives. It is good to know them well enough to know what to pray for.
I sat at my grandmother's knee while she braided my hair for school. She would sing me a little song she learned in Holland as a child. She would tell me stories of life on a primitive Nevada farm, cooking on a wood burning stove for 12 farm hands. I could smell the loaves of bread and see the pies as she spoke. I can feel her presence still and her love flowing over my soul like a patchwork quilt from her bed. Being a great grandmother is a gift to a child that lasts forever.


Granite, quarried from the mountains of Italy, the U.S., India and dozens of other countries around the world, is one of the most popular natural stones on the market.
Available in a striking array of colors, granite's durability and longevity make it ideal for kitchen countertops and other heavily used surfaces, including table tops and floors.
While some synthetic surfaces scratch easily and melt under hot cookware, granite resists heat. Granite is also one of the most bacteria-resistant kitchen surfaces, and it is not affected by citric acid, coffee, tea, alcohol or wine. It is also nearly impossible to scratch, and with proper cleaning, will not stain under normal use (ask your professional contractor about sealants available to further improve resistance to staining).
A leading consumer magazine recently compared granite with engineered stone, ceramic tile, laminate, butcher block and other manufactured surfaces. Granite received the highest overall performance rating as a kitchen countertop material.
Because of its exceptional strength, granite is well suited for exterior applications such as cladding, paving and curbing.


Kris Jenner is a proud mother and grandparent who loves to brag about her family on social media, but her latest Instagram post about Kourtney Kardashian's son Mason has the internet seriously confused, even though it totally shouldn't.
However, the Mason we've seen on countless episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians has brown hair, not black hair like the child in the photo.
Fans were left confused and wondering, did Kourtney dye Mason's hair? Kourtney also posted a photo of Mason on her Instagram account just two weeks ago where his hair appears black and fans left similar comments.
Before you freak out and call Kourtney a terrible mother, just hang on. We did our research and have evidence that we believe proves Kourtney did not dye Mason's hair.
Many Instagram users think the darker appearance of Mason's hair is just because he finally got a haircut, saying they cut off all his light brown hair that had been highlighted by the sun.
"Mason's grown out hair was highlighted by the sun until Kourtney CUT IT ALL OFF. So it's naturally dark," said @ms.angry1994.
"People! It's normal for a kids hair to go from blonde to dark! It happens all the time even in my family! They are Armenian and it was only time before they will get that Kardashian hair," said @alyssaeskander.
"I doubt Kourt would dye her son's hair! Kourt is so into her natural organic ways, why would she put chemicals in her sons hair? When young kids spend time in the sun, pool with chlorine and the beach, your hair will eventually go lighter. By her cutting it short, it's going back to his natural dark color," said @ritap81.
Honestly, we have to agree with this theory that the darker appearance of Mason's hair is just because he got it cut. As you can see, Mason's roots look dark in the photo below of Kourtney and her son taken during November 2015.
So, did Kourtney dye Mason's hair? Has Kris finally lost her mind? We're going to have to say no to both of those crazy questions.

How Britain Used Occult Intelligence To Match The Nazis During The World Wars
Jan 27, 2020 britain, during, intelligence, match, nazis, occult, world
On October one, 1949, Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong declared the development of the people 's Republic of China (PRC). Japanese surrender establish the point for the resurgence of civil war in China. Though just nominally democratic, the Nationalist Government of Chiang Kai shek continued to get U.S. support equally as its former battle ally and when the single choice for stopping Communist influence of China. U.S. forces flew a huge number of Nationalist Chinese troops into Japanese controlled territory and made it possible for them to take the Japanese surrender. The Soviet Union, meanwhile, occupied Manchuria and just pulled out when Chinese Communist forces had been in position in that territory. In the United States, socialism has not historically enjoyed as much success as a political movement. Its peak came in 1912, when Socialist Party presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs won 6 percent of the vote. But at the same time, U.S. programs once considered socialist, such as Medicare and Social Security , have been integrated into American life. Colin Ward started reading anarchist literature towards the tail end of World War II ; he wasn't a conscientious objector. He was called to give evidence when anarchists had been put on trial for sedition, because he had himself read this pamphlet that was supposed to be seditious. That was his entry into anarchism. For ten years he edited the journal Anarchy, and he became the leading voice of what he sometimes called pragmatic anarchism. He was interested in thinking about how, in a different post-War world, the ideas of historical anarchists could still be applied and used constructively through social policy and the institutions that we have, to 'anarchise' society. That was his real contribution. Clive Hamilton is a Professor of Public Ethics at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, a joint centre of Charles Sturt University and the University of Melbourne. For 14 years he was the Executive Director of The Australia Institute, a progressive think tank he founded. He has published on a wide range of subjects but is best known for his books, a number of which have been best-sellers. They include Growth Fetish (2003), Affluenza (with Richard Denniss, 2005), What's Left: The death of social democracy (2006), Silencing Dissent (edited with Sarah Maddison, 2007) and Scorcher: The dirty politics of climate change (2007). Democracies are meant to resist separation by class, politically or economically. Class distinctions can become pronounced, however, due to capitalist society. Varies from state to state. Criminal lawyer also known as criminal defense lawyer is a lawyer specializing in the defense of individuals and companies charged with criminal activity. Most of them work in private practice or in a firm. Some work for non-profit agencies or for the government as public defenders. A public defender is an attorney appointed by the court to represent defendants who cannot afford a lawyer. Criminal lawyers handle a diverse range of criminal cases, ranging from domestic violence crimes, sex crimes, violent crimes, drug crimes, theft, embezzlement, fraud and various other crimes. Criminal lawyers serve as both an advisor and an advocate for their clients. Criminal lawyers represent the accused or defendants facing criminal charges in the trial courts as well as in the appellate courts.

Pre Theology Program
As part of our ongoing contribution to the ministerial needs of our Church, St. Bernard's developed a Pre-Theology Program to address a need that many dioceses throughout the country face, namely, to prepare young men who, although possessing a bachelor's degree, have not received the necessary spiritual, human, pastoral, but especially the philosophical training required for entrance into the seminary.
This program addresses specifically the intellectual dimension of formation and is designed to work in harmony with the team of a diocese responsible for the initial formation of those discerning their vocation to the priesthood. A student's intellectual formation can be completed in two years (six semesters), or at a more leisurely pace chosen by the student's Director of Vocations, and can be taken from anywhere in the country. Offering a way by which this initial formation can be accomplished apart from sending candidates to seminary allows a diocese to keep their pre-theology men close to home, living and learning together in a House of Formation in the diocese that they will one day serve, enjoying a fuller attention to their formation than a seminary would allow.
This Pre-Theology program was developed in accordance with the Program of Priestly Formation, a publication authored and published by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and is itself based upon the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope St. John Paul II, Pastores dabo vobis. The Program of Priestly Formation establishes best practices for each of the four dimensions of formation and is determinative of the form that this program takes, especially in its curriculum.
The Pre-Theology program uses the Master of Arts in Catholic Philosophy curriculum as the foundation of the program combined with additional courses to meet the requirements outlined in the Program of Priestly Formation. It is comprised of 11 three-credit courses in philosophy (33 credits), 3 four-credit courses in theology (12 credits), and a two-credit Independent Seminar as a capstone to the program. In total, 15 courses (47 credits) are required for the completion of this program. Thus, by the time a candidate is ready for seminary, he will have received the Master of Arts in Catholic Philosophy degree from St. Bernard's.
The MACP program is fashioned to include the broad foundations in philosophy that the Program of Priestly Formation requires and engages in the discipline of philosophy as practiced in the Catholic intellectual tradition. This pre seminary program can be customized with additional courses to meet the unique needs of a diocese. Dioceses interested in partnering with St. Bernard's to provide the intellectual dimension necessary for pre-theology programs are encouraged to contact the Academic Dean.
St. Bernard's recognizes the important work with which diocesan formation teams are charged concerning the spiritual, pastoral, and human formation of their discerners. As these teams look toward building the format for their "propaedeutic stage", as introduced in the 2016 edition of the Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis, St. Bernard's is committed to assisting dioceses in this formation. This stage will allow for further discernment and proper formation before an aspirant begins his seminary studies, and will pay particular attention to discernment and the human dimension of formation. Dioceses looking for a school that is experienced in intellectual formation and that is able to assist in properly introducing an aspirant to the formative process through Scripture, prayer, reading, catechesis, and other elements of the formative stage, are encouraged to contact the Academic Dean of St. Bernard's to discuss potential partnership.
Those discerning a call to the priesthood are encouraged to contact their home diocese.
Pre Theology Program in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany
In 2018, St. Bernard's joined with the Diocese of Albany to assist in their desire to form the next generation of priests for their diocese. The result of this assistance was the establishment of Albany's Pre-Theology Program together with the St. Isaac Jogues House of Formation. This collaborative effort allowed the team responsible for the all-important initial formation of its seminary candidates spiritually, pastorally, and humanly to be affected within its own diocese by a team of people charged with this responsibility as is the stated preference for such in the Program for Priestly Formation. It also allowed for the philosophical formation required for entrance into the seminary to be affected in union with the efforts of this team, particularly through the inclusion of St. Bernard's Director of the MACP program on the Albany Diocese's Vocation Board, which allows for regular reports on each student's progress in his intellectual formation in light of the other formative activities for which the Vocation Board is responsible.
This collaborative effort combines coursework, field placements, spiritual direction, retreats, living in community, and other diocesan-led activities to address all dimensions of formation. St. Bernard's addresses the intellectual dimension of formation through the Master of Arts in Catholic Philosophy program and accommodates students who have partially completed the philosophy and theology requirements of the Program of Priestly Formation as the Vicar for Vocations may alternatively choose to use the Master of Divinity program for certain men in formation.
It is through this assistive model that the candidate is addressed in a holistic and unitive fashion during his initial formation according to the needs of the Albany Diocese. As the needs and resources of a diocese differ, so too would the program developed on its behalf. To discuss the possibilities for your diocese, please contact St. Bernard's Academic Dean.
What is a pre-theology program?
A pre-theology program prepares young men who, although possessing a bachelor's degree, have not received the necessary spiritual, human, pastoral, and especially the philosophical formation required for entrance into a major seminary. This program is typically offered in union with a diocese or religious order that is engaged upon the formation of its seminary candidates. See https://www.stbernards.edu/pre-theology-formation for further details.
Can a pre-theology program be completed online?
Yes, a student's intellectual /philosophical formation within St. Bernard's pre-theology program can be completed in two years (six semesters) or at a more leisurely pace chosen by the student's Director of Vocations, and can be taken from anywhere in the country via our distance learning capabilities. More information be be found here: https://www.stbernards.edu/distance-learning-and-online-education
What are the prerequisites for a pre-theology program?
The prerequisites for St. Bernard's pre-theology program include a working relationship between St. Bernard's and a sponsoring diocese or religious order, and the completion of at least a seminarian candidate's undergraduate education (or equivalent).
How long is a pre-theology program?
St. Bernard's pre-theology program typically takes between 2-3 years, and can easily be adjusted to the formational needs and activities engaged upon by the sponsoring Diocese or religious order.
How much does a pre-theology program cost?
St. Bernard's pre-theology program cost amounts to the tuition and fees of the degree program to which the seminarian candidate is admitted. Other costs associated with the formation engaged upon by the sponsoring Diocese or religious order are not borne by St. Bernard's but are carried by the sponsor. We are, however, available for direct consultation concerning all aspects of formation that a sponsor might need, including how to establish and operate its own formation program which may lead to considerable savings when compared with sending their seminary candidates to a major seminary for their pre-theology formation.

Amazing pictures, love the Opah and the Bruschetta. Yumm, good thing it is approaching dinner time here!!
You just might get some grilling pictures soon, just might.
kharada46 jealous on two levels.
What a yummy album!! All of these plates look down right delicious!! kharada46, are any of these dishes your "go to" meal, or is there more in store??
This is all your cooking, kharada46? Why would you ever need to go out to restaurants? I have one photo I can add of a meal I made a couple weeks ago that turned out pretty well. Cauliflower and parsley salad topped with paprika roasted chickpeas and pistachios. Dressing was just olive oil, lemon, garlic and bit of rice vinegar.
Former merb this looks like a great meal......and we have Cauliflower in the fridge!!
This album is RIDICULOUS, kharada46.
Using a 'Black Spice' rub my grandfather sent me (not sure where he found it) I tossed some Country Style Spare Ribs on the BBQ and a Ribeye for myself, which I pan seared and baked.
Aside from the carnivore in me, there are few things I enjoy more than raw, fresh produce. The salad is a bed of Arugula, Read Leaf lettuce and Cilantro, topped with Red, Yellow, and Orange Bell Peppers, Red Onion Strips, Small strips of medium cheddar cheese. The dressing is a mixture of drippings from the Ribeye, Olive Oil, and a touch of Vinegar.
YUMM, now both you joshm and kharada46 STOP!!!!
Sorry, been busy....but I did some grilling in Puerto Vallarta a few weeks ago while enjoying a splendid 2 BR Villa in Marina Vallarta.
We made fresh Pico De Gallo to go with Grilled Skirt Steak Fajitas, slided Avocados, Grilled Onions and Corn Tortillas one evening and another Grilled Fresh Shrimp to go along with the above. Great stuff if I do say so myself.
Wow, that salsa looks incredible!
The pico de gallo looks fantastic. I could eat it by itself!
Please share your pico de gallo recipe, IAHFLYER. It looks delicious. I have Roma tomatoes and cilantro I need to use up.
I am not 100% certain of ratios as I was only the guy who chopped up the three Jalapeno Peppers, Onion, Cilantro and two Red Tomatoes then headed outside to prepare the grill. I know Mrs. IAH kept adding the ingredients to the Tomatoes as she would come outside to have me taste it until it was flavored to our taste all the while added Lime Juice and a touch of Salt.
Only need one grill my friend.
Wow. So impressed. Fantastic. Perfect. Carnivorous Meal. Pan Seared and baked? Outstanding. Carbs? Who needs 'em?!
Well it's a very cloudy rainy day here in H-Town, but fear not I got the little Kingsford grill out of the garage and put it under the breezeway, got the chimney starter fired up with a little charcoal and created a little smoker for some Salmon!! Oh can't wait to dig in to that later today. Never to wet outside to grill/smoke even if it is too wet to play golf. Come on wmrobins get on with grilling something.
I wasn't aware of this thread, way before my time; I will have to go back and read through it, thanks for tagging me iahflyr !
Yes that was another dumb move that someone made by removing the albums, there was some great stuff in there alright.
Archie Bunker - stifle yourself Edith!
George Lopez: Save me some!

An isotope is an atom whose nuclei contain the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes are broken into two specific types: stable and unstable. These unstable isotopes are commonly referred to as radioactive isotopes. There are approximately 300 known naturally occurring stable isotopes.
Here in the Cornell Isotope Laboratory we focus on four specific light elements for isotopic ratio measurements: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.
Most of the light elements contain different proportions of at least two isotopes. Usually one isotope is the predominantly abundant isotope. For example, the average abundance of 12C is 98.89%, while the average abundance for 13C is 1.11%. Table 1 outlines the average isotopic abundances of elements that are most commonly measured for stable isotope measurements.
Table 1. Natural Isotopic Abundances of light stable isotopes.
Heavy isotopes undergo all of the same chemical reactions as light isotopes, but, simply because they are heavier, they do it ever so slightly slower. These tiny differences in reaction rates cause the products of reactions to have different isotope ratios than the source materials. Knowing the precise isotope ratios in plant and animal tissues allows us to know about the processes by which the materials were formed. This can tell if a plant's roots are tapping recent rain or deep groundwater, the water-use efficiency of whole forests, what an animal has eaten throughout its life and where it sits on the food chain, and the global sources and sinks for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Historical materials, including those that may be many thousands of years old, can be analyzed in the same manner, allowing us to compare modern and ancient environments.
However, before analysis can begin it is important to have a good understanding of how a specific sample type can be affected by various processes; most notably, isotopic fractionation. Isotopic fractionation causes stable isotopic abundance variations. Fractionation is caused by the differences in the chemical and physical properties of a certain atomic mass and concerns the concepts of isotope exchange and kinetic processes in reaction rates. Changes in temperature are just one example of an isotope exchange process that can cause fractionation in an isotopic ratio. This is why temperature stability is a priority in many instrumentation facilities. Gas pressure can also have a significant role in determining the magnitude of fractionation effects. Some examples of a kinetic isotope effects would be evaporation and condensation, diffusion, and dissociation reactions.
Rsample is the ratio of the heavy isotope to light isotope in the sample.
Rstandard is the ratio of the heavy isotope to light isotope in the working reference gas, which is calibrated against an internationally known IAEA or NBS standard.
dsample-standard is the difference in isotopic composition of the sample relative to that of the reference, expressed in per mil (0/00).
Table 2. Rstandard absolute ratio values for international standards.
V-SMOW (Standard Mean Ocean Water) - used for d2H and d18O isotope measurement. The standard is an average of different ocean samples from around the world.
V-PDB (Pee Dee Belemnite) - used for d13C measurement. The standard is a CaCO3 from a belemnite from the Pee Dee formation in South Carolina.
Atmospheric Nitrogen - used for d15N measurement. The air has a very homogeneous isotopic composition making this an ideal reference.
Internal (in-house) laboratory standards are verified for accuracy against internationally known reference materials, whose values are determined by the International Association of Atomic Energy (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria. These in turn, calibrated against the primary reference scales for the specific isotope of interest. COIL performs bi-annual calibrations for each peripheral device to make sure that it's quality control standards meet international specifications for each type of measurement performed within the facility.
Solid samples sent in for carbon and/or nitrogen measurements are analyzed using an elemental analyzer plumbed into an isotope ratio mass spectrometer. We try to specifically match samples with one of several in-house standards we have for checks on instrument precision and linearity. These in-house standards include plant materials (corn, rice, cabbage, lettuce, pine needles, wood, cellulose); animal tissues (fish, mink); soils and sediments (low nitrogen desert soil, high elevation forest soil, organic river sediments); and chemical standards (methionine, sucrose, caffeine, acetanilide). In addition two standards are used to perform normalization (linear regression) of data once the analysis is complete. Precision on elemental results meet vendor specifications.
Solid samples sent in for hydrogen and/or oxygen measurements are analyzed using a Temperature Conversion elemental analyzer interfaced into an IRMS. In-house standards are matched closely with the matrix of the sample being analyzed for checks on instrument precision and linearity. We have several internal standards including plant material (rice, wood, cellulose); animal material (hair, feather); several carbonate and soil standards; and chemical standards (benzoic acid, acetanilide, methionine). A linear regression of data is performed once analysis is complete. Precision on elemental results meet vendor specifications.
Gas samples are measured in exetainer vials that are placed into the GC PAL autosampler. These, in turn, are injected into the Gasbench II for analysis. The Gasbench is plumbed directly into the Delta V IRMS. Currently we have the capability to measure both N2 and CO2 gas samples.
CO2 gas samples are accurately calibrated using known isotopic and concentration gases. Initial calibration of gases is performed using two standards (1%CO2 in a background of helium and 1%CO2 in a background of nitrogen) at concentration levels ranging from ambient (approximately 400ppm – 10,000ppm). These standards are used for the checks on instrument precision and linearity, as well as checks on concentration.
N2 gas samples are calibrated using air samples corrected to the Atmospheric Air Primary Reference Scale. Typically N2 gas sample projects involve tracer or enriched 15N experiments. Internal error is calculated based on the 15N carryover into the standards. Normal concentrations for these types of experiments range from ambient (78%N) to ultra high purity (approximately 100%N).

    .then(confirmResult => {
      console.log(confirmResult);

    }).catch(err => {alert(err);})

It console logs the confirmResult just fine and I have waited a long time now and no SMS, I have tried this with 2 different phone numbers as well. Any clue what is going on?


You are here to observe and learn and act. Life is full of mistakes. We seemingly do the wrong things all the time. Why though are we imperfect? If we are imperfect and make mistakes, are we then supposed to be making mistakes?
Yes we are! It is our nature to make mistakes. It is natural for things to not go according to plan.
That is all a mistake is. It's something not going to according to plan. When things don't go how you would want them to, you feel bad that it didn't. You feel guilt that you could not make your vision a reality.
You must let go of that guilt and continue to read your situation and surroundings. You must adjust instantly. You don't need time. You need to recognize that every moment is here for us. There is no need for guilt, you have not been deceived, you are not being punished.
Nothing is happening to you. You are doing the happening. You are creating with your mind your circumstances. You are determining what things mean. You are one mind. What you think, is. There is no life but yours. There is no shame but what you make it. You don't have to be ashamed of yourself. If you aren't, no one else is either. You are love, so the world is too.


The success of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapy (CAR TCTx) in leukemia has been difficult to translate to solid cancers. Antigens shared amongst individuals are scarce. Contemporary technologies enable analysis of lesion specific peptide-class I human leukocyte antigen (pHLA-I) complexes. However, lack of robust cost-effective methods to analyze pHLA-I interactions and to discover T-cell receptors (TCRs) within a clinically relevant time-frame have hindered personalized therapy. In Aim 1, using phage display, a robust technique amenable to large-scale library generation, we will develop a method to rapidly study pHLA-I interactions. The mined information will be used to computationally predict cross-reactivities toward different TCRs. Of eight cancer tissue derived pHLA-I complexes, we have confirmed expression of six on bacteriophages. Their folding has also been verified using antibodies that recognize conformational epitopes on pHLA-I complexes. We are currently designing TCRs against them. Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs) 3 within TCR chains contact the peptide whereas CDRs 1 and 2 confer HLA-I specificity. CDR3 engineering (Aim 2) will enable grafting distinct peptide specificities on common HLA-restricted scaffolds thereby reducing TCR discovery times. Cross-reactivities can be readily verified using technologies described in Aim 1. Phage display of pHLA-II(s) (Aim 3) will allow evaluation of CD4+ T-cells as adjuvant therapies. These three novel technologies will enable the development of immunotherapies that are personalized and highly specific, and yet safe and highly effective.

Introduction - JBoss Marshalling - Project Documentation Editor for your Wiki!
JBoss Marshalling is an alternative serialization API that fixes many of the problems found in the JDK serialization API while remaining fully compatible with java.io.Serializable and its relatives as well as the binary serialization, and adds several new tunable parameters and additional features, all of which are pluggable via factory configuration (externalizers, class/instance lookup tables, class resolution, and object replacement, to name a few). In addition, a highly optimized protocol entitled "River" is included as well, which retains the serialization API compatibility but results in much smaller messages which are more quickly read and written.

"She has such a crazy origin story," said Bill Powers from the back patio of the Edition Hotel, where he was hosting a dinner for Irish artist Genieve Figgis' book launch. "She followed Richard Prince on Twitter one night in 2013, and he followed her back. And as people sometimes do, he's like, 'Who's following me?' He looked through some of her images, really liked the paintings and private messaged her, 'Hey, I'd love to buy a few of these.' Which she thought was a joke," Powers continued. "So he bought 20 paintings."
The artist has since amassed a bevy of fans including celebrities and gallerists alike; Cindy Crawford stopped by later in the evening, joining the intimate crowd, which included Powers' wife Cynthia Rowley. Powers' Half Gallery was the first to show Figgis' work in New York in 2013, and she has shown at Almine Rech Gallery in London and Brussels, and has a show with Rech's Paris gallery in January. In 2018, Figgis will represent Ireland at the Le Consortium biennial.
Even her arrival at the party was reflective of the whirlwind ascent — Figgis came straight from the airport having flown in from Dublin; she hadn't even checked into her hotel yet.
"It's like anything can happen in the world and it's truly about you believing that it can happen, and I was totally open to that," said Figgis of her entry into the elite art world. "Twitter was fairly new, and you're kind of thinking, 'Oh, there are artists here and they're showing work.' I just said, 'I'll start sharing with the world,'" she continued, describing her decision to post her work through the social media platform. It proved to be a smart decision. "I had no expectations," she said, adding, "I wasn't going to put myself through an honors degree and master's and not show my work."
