Veteran Gleaner writer dies at 65
Published:Wednesday | March 17, 2010 | 12:00 AM
Byron McDaniel
Howard Campbell, Gleaner Writer
Byron McDaniel, who worked as a freelance journalist with The Gleaner for 11 years, died March 2 at the age of 65. He passed away at the Percy Junor Hospital in Spaulding, Manchester.
His brother, Reverend Canute McDaniel, told The Gleaner that McDaniel died from diabetes. He had suffered from the disease for several years and his condition had deteriorated considerably in recent months.
He was admitted to hospital three weeks prior to his death.
McDaniel was born in Fraser, St Ann, near the border with Manchester. He was the second of eight children for working-class parents; his father worked as a handyman at the Alcan bauxite company in Manchester while his mother was a housewife and basic school teacher.
Jamaica Constabulary Force
For most of his professional life, McDaniel was a member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force. He was stationed mainly in Kingston, at the Hunts Bay and Central stations, and at Whitehouse in Westmoreland.
In the late 1960s, McDaniel served as a member of Prime Minister Hugh Shearer's security detail and left the JCF with the rank of sergeant.
After his career as a law official ended, McDaniel retired to the district of Walderston, Manchester, and in 1999 started working as a correspondent for that parish with The Gleaner. Later, he also covered the region for the publication's sister entity, the Power 106 radio station.
Reverend McDaniel described his brother as a "private person who loved his family. Byron had a very good sense of humour."
Byron McDaniel was pre-deceased by an older brother and is survived by three brothers and two sisters. His youngest sibling is broadcaster Gerry McDaniel.
He is also survived by five children - Christopher, Michael, Paula, Judith and Marie.
The funeral for Byron McDaniel takes place on March 26 at the Mizpah Moravian Church in Walderston.

Neptune Theatre grand opening starts Sept. 25
Originally published September 6, 2011 at 12:39 pm Updated September 8, 2011 at 10:21 pm
The Neptune Theatre, which presented movies in Seattle's University District starting in 1921, closed this year for renovations, after being leased by the nonprofit Seattle Theatre Group. The official grand opening starts Sept. 25 — a long rollout of more than 40 shows through Dec. 1.
Paul de Barros
Special to The Seattle Times
The venerable Neptune Theatre, in the University District, hosted its inaugural concert as a new, live-arts venue back in June, when Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees performed.
But that was just the "soft opening," says the nonprofit Seattle Theatre Group (STG), which operates the Paramount and Moore theaters and signed a long-term lease last year to operate the 90-year-old former cinema.
The official grand opening starts Sept. 25 — a long rollout of more than 40 shows through Dec. 31. The first five events are free and include an "open house" each day, when folks can come have a look at the colorful, restored details of the historic theater before taking in programs of film, comedy, community arts, dance and music.
Seattle Theatre Group executive director and self-confessed "historic theater geek" Josh LaBelle says he is particularly excited about the restoration of the eyes of Neptune, whose face is nestled in the theater ceiling.
"We were able to uncover the eyeballs," said LaBelle, "which are this beautiful, different-colored glass. So Neptune's eyes are glowing. Getting the eyes glowing, for me personally was a supercool thing."
Burnishing Neptune's eyes was just one aspect of the four-month renovation, which included — on the safety side — a new sprinkler system that wound up costing more than expected and proper railings. STG also installed a bar and theatrical lighting, refurbished and expanded the restrooms and uncovered a good amount of detail around the proscenium stage.
"A lot of care went into that," said LaBelle.
STG consulted on the renovations with Craig Thompson, whose family bought the land at Northeast 45th Street and Brooklyn Avenue Northeast in 1919 and built the Neptune two years later.
The total cost of the renovation, said LaBelle, is $730,000, of which $200,000 has been raised so far, including a $58,000 grant for safety improvements from the King County arts agency 4Culture.
The soft opening gave STG the opportunity to fine-tune the project. The night Lanegan performed, the theater turned into a hothouse, but LaBelle says the air conditioning has since been fixed. Early reports also indicate the acoustics of the Neptune — with its sound-friendly plaster walls and wooden fixtures — are excellent, but LaBelle says even that has been "tweaked."
"I'm pretty happy," he said. "And I'm a pain-in-the-ass sound customer."
The 800-seat Neptune affords STG a midsize venue to complement the Paramount's 2,800-person capacity and the Moore's 1,400, said LaBelle.
"I think the value for us is going to be around involving our company in artist development," he said. "Working with artists earlier in their career trajectory than perhaps the Paramount and the Moore would allow."
LaBelle admits new theaters can be spectacular, but says he is passionate about preserving historic ones.
"There's juju in these places!" he said. "I don't know how else to put it. The architecture, the history they have in the community, the connections people have. It's intangible, it's hard to put a value on it. But their beauty and splendor — they don't build 'em like this anymore."
The schedule of events for the first five days of the grand opening, including a free open house each day, are:
• Sept. 25: "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" movie screening.
• Sept. 26: Comedy Cavalcade curated by the People's Republic of Komedy, hosted by Luke Burbank (of "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me") and featuring Jon Keister, Rylee Newton, improv by the Ashley Judd Comedy Hour and short films by Mike Drucker Adventure Buddies.
• Sept. 27: The Total Experience Gospel Choir, including a singing lesson by choir director Pat Wright; the EriAm Sisters with MOV, Critical and More Music @ The Moore alums; and the maritime music of William Pint & Felicia Dale.
• Sept. 28: Salsa lesson by Vanessa Villalobos & Christian Paquin with the 8-piece band Sonora la Rebelión; hip-hop lesson by Daniel Cruz with DJ WD4D.
• Sept. 29: Bobby Long; Mads Jacobsen (More Music @ The Moore alum); with preshow guitar lessons.
Some of the artists booked after the first five days include Mason Jennings, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, Marc Maron and Duff McKagan.

i want list data as nested list .please help
i have created class for list.  I have a list which I want to convert into tree structure. How can I convert this into tree structure?

A: First let's talk about your object:
QuestionDetails can contains a list of QuestionDetails that contains a list of etc etc..
QuestionDetails should contains a Question and his list of Answer. And an answer should not be a Question.
So let's define those class: Ignore the [ScriptIgnore] for now!
class Question
{
    [ScriptIgnore]
    public int QID { get; set; }
    public int QuestionID { get; set; }
    public string QuestionText { get; set; }
    public IList<Answer> Answers { get; private set; }
    public Question()
    {
        Answers = new List<Answer>();
    }
    public Question( int questionID, string questionText, IList<Answer> answers )
    {
        Answers = answers;
        QuestionID = questionID;
        QuestionText = questionText;
    }

    public string ToWeirdString()
    {
        string sout = $"\tquestion id={QuestionID}\n" +
                        $"\tQuestion =\"{QuestionText}\"\n";
        sout += "\t{\n";
        foreach (var i in Answers)
        {
            sout += $"\t\tANSWER=\"{i.AnswerText}\";\n";
        }
        sout += "\t}\n";
        return sout;
    }
}

class Answer
{
    public Answer(string answerText, int answerType)
    {
        AnswerText = answerText;
        AnswerType = answerType;
    }

    public string AnswerText { get; set; }

    [ScriptIgnore]
    public int AnswerType { get; set; }
}

Initialisation of a sample of Question:
List<Question> sample = new List<Question> {
                            new Question(1, "text1", new List<Answer> {
                                                        new Answer("Answer 1",1),
                                                        new Answer("Answer 2",1),
                                                        new Answer("Answer 3",2),
                                                        new Answer("Answer 4",1)
                                                        }
                                        ),
                            new Question(2, "text2", new List<Answer> {
                                                        new Answer("Answer 5",1),
                                                        new Answer("Answer 6",3),
                                                        new Answer("Answer 7",1),
                                                        new Answer("Answer 8",4)
                                                        }
                                        )
                        };

Getting your weird string:
var weirdString = "{\n"+string.Concat( sample.Select(x => x.ToWeirdString()+"\n\n") )+"}\n";

How simple is the Json serialisation? This simple:
var json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(sample);

Don't forget your using System.Web.Script.Serialization; and click the light bubble if you are missing the dll.
One simple line and it's look like this :
[
   {
      "QuestionID":1,
      "QuestionText":"text1",
      "Answers":[
         {
            "AnswerText":"Answer 1"
         },
         {
            "AnswerText":"Answer 2"
         },
         {
            "AnswerText":"Answer 3"
         },
         {
            "AnswerText":"Answer 4"
         }
      ]
   },
   {
      "QuestionID":2,
      "QuestionText":"text2",
      "Answers":[
         {
            "AnswerText":"Answer 5"
         },
         {
            "AnswerText":"Answer 6"
         },
         {
            "AnswerText":"Answer 7"
         },
         {
            "AnswerText":"Answer 8"
         }
      ]
   }
]

Ps: [ScriptIgnore] tell the JavaScriptSerializer to ignore this property.

Association study between two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms and sporadic Parkinson's disease in Chinese Han population.

Department of Neurology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, 410008 Hunan, People's Republic of China.
Two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs6812193 and rs11868035) were recently identified to be associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) in a Web Based Genome-Wide Association Study. Herein, we conducted a case-control study to evaluate the possible associations between these two SNPs and PD in Chinese Han population. All subjects (501 sporadic PD patients and 502 normal controls) were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis with these two SNPs. Chi-square test revealed no significant difference in either genotype frequencies or allele frequencies, even after being stratified by age. But we found that the genotype and allele frequency of rs6812193 shows difference between male patients and male controls (p=0.031, OR=0.584; p=0.037, OR=0.606) but none in the female. Our findings suggest that rs11868035 may have no association with PD in Chinese population and rs6812193 may have marginal association with PD in male Chinese population. However, due to the limited data in the present study, replication studies in larger sample and other populations are required.

B.C. Health Minister addresses allegations of racism in the provincial health care system
Staff in an emergency department or emergency departments allegedly played a game to guess the blood alcohol level of Indigenous patients.

Health Minister Adrian Dix has announced an investigation into "serious" allegations that a number of doctors and nurses in a B.C. emergency department or departments played a "game" to guess the blood-alcohol level of Indigenous patients.
Dix said Friday that such conduct is "beyond unacceptable."
B.C. Health Minister addresses allegations of racism in the provincial health care system Back to video
"If true, it is intolerable, unacceptable and racist and its effect on patient care is intolerable, unacceptable and racist."
Dix said Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the former legislative advocate for children's rights, has been appointed to investigate.
"She will follow the facts wherever they lead and that is my expectation."
Dix said the allegations were brought to his attention Thursday evening and he will reach out to Indigenous leaders across the province to address the fundamental issues involved.
The minister's announcement came as Métis Nation B.C., which represents B.C.'s nearly 90,000 Métis people, was about to release what it called "very disturbing" information on systemic racism in the B.C. health-care system.
The news release from the Métis Nation and the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres said that Indigenous patients seeking emergency medical services in B.C. are often assumed to be intoxicated and often denied medical assessment, contributing to worsening health and resulting in unnecessary harm or death.
It said participants in an Indigenous cultural safety training program detailed "thousands" of cases of racism in health care.
It said that one recent training session, a participant described the game played within B.C. hospital emergency rooms, involving doctors, nurses and other staff. The release alleged what it called a "Price is Right" game, where the winner is whichever staff member has the closest guess to the blood alcohol level without going over.
"There remains a lack of will to address systemic and specific racism toward Métis, First Nation and Inuit people," said Leslie Varley, executive director of the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres.
"We know that our people avoid hospitals because we are afraid of having a discriminatory encounter. This happens to the point where Indigenous people end up in emergency with extreme diagnosis, like cancer."
Varley said the training program where the game was disclosed was designed to train the 100,000 health care workers in B.C. in preventing anti-Indigenous racism, with each participant asked to describe on an online platform a racist encounter they experienced or witnessed.
"There's been thousands and thousands of people describing horrific encounters," she said, adding that the alleged game is not one of the more horrific encounters.
"We knew from the data that there are many racism hot spots in hospitals in British Columbia and most of the emergency rooms in British Columbia are unsafe for Indigenous people."
She said the health-care system has known about anti-Indigenous racism in the system for some time. #
A March 2019 report suggests that even if the guessing "game" allegations shocked politicians this week, the government knew or should have known about some of the "horrific encounters" that Varley mentioned.
That report, made public Friday by the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres and Métis Nation British Columbia, came from a March 2019 event convened by the Provincial Health Services Authority to focus on tackling anti-Indigenous racism in the health-care system.
The report, which does not appear to have been made public until now, outlines several incidents reported in the B.C. health-care system. It says Indigenous patients avoided treatment because of experiencing racial slurs at hospitals, and "dismissive, incomplete assessments" leading to "severe and sometimes deadly consequences for patients."
One report described an Aboriginal trauma victim receiving post-op treatment following extensive surgery. Health-care workers mistakenly thought she was still under anesthetic and someone made a racist remark.
"When I looked into her eyes a few moments after the remarks were made, she had tears," the report quoted one person present. "I was mortified and it was too late. The damage of those words was done."
Another section described an Indigenous man complaining of vertigo, who was sent home without a diagnosis by an ER nurse who failed to take his vitals, only for his family to find him collapsed on the floor hours from an acute stroke.
Another described how an Indigenous teenager, who had broken his collarbone falling off his skateboard, sat in a waiting room for hours while a white patient with a less critical condition was treated first.
Daniel Fontaine, chief executive officer for Métis Nation B.C., said the "Price is Right" game is "abhorrent and disgusting."
"Sadly, if you juxtapose it against the report from March 2019, there are many, many accounts of systemic racism that are happening within the health care system," he said.
Fontaine said that his staff first alerted him Thursday to the 2019 report.
"I can only imagine if this report were public, I think you and I would already have heard about it," he said. "While we welcome Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond's report which could be months, or who knows, a year out, we are very concerned that there still remains every single day Metis people, Indigenous people who are having interactions with health-care officials every day and every week."
The March 2019 report included six recommendations for dismantling anti-Indigenous racism.
But the Ministry of Health could not say Friday how many of those recommendations have been adopted. The ministry spokesman, Stephen May, did say that more than 24,000 staff across the ministry, First Nations Health Authority, and regional health authorities have completed the Indigenous cultural safety training program.
Turpel-Lafond said she got assurances from Dix that she would be able to conduct an "independent, thorough and complete" investigation.
"At this stage obviously it's very early but my commitment is to an independent and thorough investigation, to treat people fairly but to get to the bottom of this incident as quickly and as thoroughly as possible."
She said her first step is to "scope out" the investigation and determine what kinds of powers will be required to carry out the investigation.
The minister has not yet imposed a time frame on completion of her investigation but told her the case was of the "utmost importance" because it's a serious incident that raises questions about the quality of health care services for Indigenous people and others, she said.
"He wanted it to commence immediately. Essentially, today I started and by next week I hope to have some kind of statement I can provide around how I see the scope of the investigation unfolding. Obviously my commitment is to conduct something with dispatch, but I will have to get the tools and resources together next week."
Soon after Dix's press conference, B.C. Premier John Horgan issued his own statement, saying he was "outraged by reports of ugly, anti-Indigenous, racist behaviour at several health-care facilities in B.C.
"This behaviour degrades the standards and provisions of health care in our province. It cannot stand. There is no excuse. There is no explaining this away," Horgan said in the statement.
"If confirmed, this is a heartbreaking example of systemic racism in our province … This will not be swept aside. We will not look the other way when racism is exposed. We will get a full account and changes will be made."
The First Nations Leadership Council issued a statement conveying anger and dismay at the allegations, but commending Dix for "taking immediate action by appointing Turpel-Lafond."
"The investigation must be transparent and seek to uncover the extensiveness of this abhorrent behaviour, including which doctors and hospitals are involved and whether similar repulsive behaviour occurred with other minority groups," the council's statement said. "We fully expect that those who committed these serious breaches of trust will be held accountable for their actions and, pending the outcomes of the investigation, have their medical licenses revoked for compromising the dignity, care and lives of Indigenous patients."
Representatives of the B.C. Nurses' Union, Hospital Employees Union, and Doctors of B.C. all issued statements Friday condemning racism and indicating support for Turpel-Lafond's investigation.
"We fully support a thorough investigation by Ms. Turpel-Lafond into all matters related to these serious allegations of racism and unacceptable behaviour and will not be commenting further until the facts are determined," Nurses' Union president Christine Sorensen said.
"As nurses, we are uniquely placed to advocate for the dismantling of systems of oppression, because every day we see how they negatively impact the health and well-being of individuals and communities alike," Sorensen's statement said.
The union was only made aware of the allegations Friday morning, a union representative said in an emailed statement, and it has not been confirmed how many, if any, of its members are alleged to have been involved.
Similarly, Doctors of B.C. president Dr. Kathleen Ross said she first heard of the allegations after Dix's press conference.
"I work in two hospitals in Fraser Health, and I've never heard anything along these lines before," Ross said.
Asked if she had ever heard of anti-Indigenous racism in the B.C. health system, Ross said she was aware of "nothing that would even remotely touch this."

Florida Man July 27
BRADENTON, Florida (WFTS / / CNN) — A Florida man was hurt while shifting pool furniture onto his terrace. It just took another, but he nearly perished. Charles Lee was transferring a deck seat when a gust of wind knocked him down to the pool. A seated leg hammering his throat."I was amazed. This decision lifted me off my toes.
When I came up, my jaw hurt, and that I moved to touch my chin," he explained. Doctors say Lee was fortunate: a visit to the emergency area and over a dozen stitches. Doctors were concerned about the disease because the base of the feces was rusty.
In reality, this is exactly what the ambulance doctors stated," he explained. Lee wondered how such a peculiar episode had occurred."If you look after, you may observe the sail impact and also the funnel effect that frequently happens in tight spaces like between buildings between canals, and I think that's just what happened here," he explained. I visited a physician five days following the crash. He will be OK, however, the pool seat will be at the bin.

Every major US bank has now come out against Arctic drilling
Bank of America became the latest financial institution to make its stance clear on the controversial issue.
Joseph Guzman | Dec. 1, 2020
Story at a glance
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Chase, Wells Fargo and CitiBank announced commitments not to finance oil and gas projects in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) earlier this year.
In mid-November, the Trump administration launched the formal process of selling oil drilling leases in the region.
Environmentalists have long opposed drilling in the Arctic due to the potential impact on the indigenous Gwich'in people and endangered species such as polar bears.
Every major bank in the U.S. has now ruled out financing oil and gas exploration in the Arctic after Bank of America became the latest American financial institution to say it would not fund such projects.
The bank has faced increasing pressure from environmentalists to refrain from financing fossil fuel exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) due to the potential impact on the indigenous Gwich'in people and endangered species such as polar bears.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Chase, Wells Fargo and CitiBank announced commitments not to do so earlier this year, and on Monday, Bloomberg reported Bank of America followed suit.
"There's been misunderstanding around our position, but we have not historically participated in project finance for oil and gas exploration in the Arctic," Larry Di Rita, the bank's head of public policy and strategy in Washington, told the news outlet.
"But given that misinterpretation, we've determined that it's time to codify our existing practice into policy."
A provision in the 2017 Trump tax bill passed by the Republican-controlled Congress opened ANWR to drilling after years of debate over the matter. In mid-November, the Trump administration launched the formal process of selling oil drilling leases in the region, although it's unclear if the Bureau of Land Management would be able to complete the process in the remaining time before President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office.
Biden has made it clear he's opposed to drilling in the refuge and has called for permanently protecting the area, as well as bans on new oil and gas permits on public lands and waters.
The news of Bank of America's stance on the issue was welcomed by environmental protection organization the Sierra Club.
"It has long been clear that drilling in the Arctic Refuge would trample Indigenous rights, threaten vulnerable wildlife, and worsen the climate crisis," Sierra Club Senior Campaign Representative Ben Cushing said in a statement.
"Now that every major American bank has stated unequivocally that they will not finance this destructive activity, it should be clearer than ever that any oil company considering participating in Trump's ill-advised lease sale should stay away."

For this edition of our "Personal Picks", we're thinking outside-the-box to share four breathtaking lodges in unique, lesser-known parks and reserves that offer an excellent overall guest experience.
These areas don't make it on many bucket lists, but they offer a superb safari with an uncrowded, exclusive feel at a great value.
Each of these lodges promises personal service, a wide variety of activities and a solid 4-night stay so you can really settle in and appreciate their distinctive settings. They pair nicely with more well-known safari destinations, and all four would make a great extension or centerpiece for a longer itinerary.
Magashi is the newest camp in the Wilderness Safaris family located in the northeastern corner of Akagera National Park in Rwanda. This camp is opening on the 1st of December, and it is the result of many years of public/private partnership and local collaboration.
We see it as an excellent example of what's on the horizon for new destinations where governments, communities, conservation and tourism work together to rehabilitate a wilderness area. Pair this with gorilla trekking experiences from the stunning Bisate Lodge.
Amalinda is a stunning lodge built into the granite wilderness outside of Zimbabwe's Matobo Hills National Park. It is a wild and historic place full of rocks and rhinos. Through decades of hardship and instability, this family owned and operated lodge has sustained a commitment to this unique place.
There is a huge variety of activities, from hiking and biking to tracking rhinos on foot and exploring pre-historic rock art, and the area is known for its sense of tranquility, rejuvenation and spirituality. This pairs with other destinations in Zimbabwe and South Africa, and there's a great combo with Mashatu!
Mashatu is also a family owned and operated lodge located in a truly singular landscape where Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa meet, and it is unlike any of them with grand baobabs, spectacular vistas and a host of rare and unusual wildlife.
It's perfect for multi-generational families with a variety of accommodation options from lightweight fly-camping to tented camps and a luxury lodge, and there's a huge variety of activities including horseback riding, walking, biking and elephant toe-nail photography from a waterhole hide! Mashatu works well with other destinations in Botswana and South Africa, and there's a great combo with Amalinda.
Shipwreck is one of the most remote and far-flung luxury destinations in the world, and it's an example of a bold statement in architectural design and conservation impact. This dramatic lodge was designed to match the stark, intense beauty of Namibia's Skeleton Coast, with its extreme environment and fascinating history.
The experience at Shipwreck is all about sand dunes, whale bones and wildflowers, discovering shocks of improbable life, and visiting a place very few people have ever been. Shipwreck is on the edge of the world, and it pairs well with other destinations on a dedicated Namibia itinerary.
There's plenty more places we love that few people have heard of. Get in touch to learn more about these lodges and how to build your perfect safari itinerary.

Add to my favorites A Comparison Between Pitch Discrimination and Vowel Identification in Cochlear Implant (CI) Users
Joanne Huang, Senior, Speech & Hearing Sciences UW Honors Program
Julie Bierer, Speech & Hearing Sciences
Mishaela DiNino, Speech & Hearing Sciences
Cochlear implants (CI) are neural prostheses that provide individuals with profound hearing loss the ability to hear through artificial electrical stimulation to the inner ear. Despite the relative success of cochlear implants in providing speech in quiet settings, listening to complex signals such as music or speech in background noise is still difficult. Spectral resolution, the ability to extract frequency information from a signal, is important for interpreting complex signals, and this ability is impaired in CI users. In this study we compared two measures of spectral resolution: a pitch discrimination task and vowel identification. An individual's ability to identify vowels depends on how well they can distinguish characteristic concentrations of energy at specific frequencies. Pitch discrimination is the ability to perceive small directional changes of sound frequencies between two pitches, and like vowel identification, relies heavily on one's ability to discern frequency information. In this study we tested the pitch discrimination ability of CI users through the Clinical Assessment of Music Perception (CAMP) test (Kang et al., 2009), where participants were presented two tones 1-12 semitones apart and asked to identify the higher of the two. We then compared performance on the pitch perception test to the CI users' scores on a vowel identification test, which included a closed set of ten vowel stimuli presented by a male or female speaker. Since spectral resolution is integral to both tasks, we expect to find that CI users with low scores on vowel identification also perform poorly on the pitch discrimination task. By understanding pitch and vowel perception we might inform the development of new signal processing that can optimize the transmission of music to cochlear implant listeners.
Add to my favorites Weaving the Future: Clothing and Mayan Resistance in Guatemala
Katrina Cohn, Senior, Global Studies (Bothell)
Julie Shayne, Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (Bothell Campus)
Session 1B: Templates for Progressive Action
This paper asks how weaving and traditional clothing are used as a means of resistance within the Maya Movement of Guatemala. Although historical evidence and cultural traditions confirm the use of backstrap looms before the arrival of the Spanish, the use of traditional clothing and weaving techniques are often maligned as vestiges of colonial repression and backwardness by the dominant Ladino culture of Guatemala. Those who choose to wear traditional Mayan clothing face discrimination, stereotyping, and hostility. Mayan clothing denotes the sex, age, marital status, regional affiliation, and village of origin of the wearer through the use of different weaving techniques, designs, style, and color. As a result of their inability to find work or navigate through the Ladino culture outside of their communities, most Mayan men have adopted Western style clothing. As such, women have been tasked with sustaining the culture within their communities through the art of weaving and the clothing it produces. The weavers are able to incorporate their cultural history and ideas into the cloth they create. Weaving, clothing, and Mayan identity cannot be easily separated. Due to the high visibility, traditional meaning, and customizable nature of Mayan weaving, clothing has been adapted by Mayan resistance movements as a means of cultural resistance. I argue that weaving and traditional clothing are being used by the Maya Movement to inspire pride and connection with traditional culture as a means to reassert Mayan heritage within Guatemala. Not only has the popularity and use of traditional Mayan clothing grown in recent years, but the meanings and traditions continue to grow and change along with the culture. Research for this paper is based on a mix of primary and secondary sources including scholarly analyses of Mayan resistance movements, history of weaving techniques and clothing, blogs, international newspaper articles, and documentaries.

Add to my favorites Effects of Low Dissolved Oxygen on the Puget Sound Copepod, Calanus pacificus
Matthew Grodzins, Senior, Oceanography, Aquatic & Fishery Sciences Mary Gates Scholar
Julie Keister, Oceanography
In the marine environment, hypoxia is defined as: a level of dissolved oxygen (DO) that has fallen below 2.0 mg O2/L. This level is approximately 20% of a system that is at oxygen saturation. Should the DO reach 0% it is described as "anoxic". Due to anthropogenic influences, incidences of hypoxia and anoxia in coastal marine environments are increasing globally. In Hood Canal, a sub-estuary of Puget Sound, Washington, research is underway to define and quantify the effects of hypoxia on zooplankton distribution and community structure. One copepod, Calanus pacificus, is considered to be a keystone species in this community due to its prominence in the food chain. My research has been to determine the physiological tolerances of Calanus to dissolved oxygen then compare with data from samples taken in Hood Canal to determine whether there is evidence that Calanus avoids areas with low DO. To identify oxygen tolerances, DO in seawater was manipulated in the laboratory by bubbling with N2 gas, then 24-hr survival of copepods was tested at several DO levels. In the field, Calanus abundance was estimated from depth-stratified plankton samples taken during day and night, in regions and at depths, of high and low DO. Laboratory experiments showed that Calanus were adversely affected by low DO with a sharp decrease in survival from 87% survival at 1.44 mg O2/L to 13% at 0.96 mg O2/L. My research relates these findings to distributions observed in the field data. Substantial decreases in Calanus populations due to increased hypoxia in Hood Canal could cause large changes in the food web. Further research into Calanus' behavioral reactions to these conditions could help understand, and even predict these changes.

Session 1S: Novel Approaches to Conservation
Plastic marine debris is found in coastal and marine waters worldwide. There has been an increase in the study of microplastics, synthetic polymers < 5 mm, throughout the world. Researchers at the Center for Urban Waters, University of Washington Tacoma have collaborated with Sound Experience, a local boat-based environmental education group, trained by our research group on sample collection. This presentation describes the 2012 and 2013 surveys of waters from Puget Sound, Washington. Undergraduate student researchers from the Center for Urban Waters analyzed the environmental samples using a wet-peroxide oxidation method. This survey measured variable concentrations of microplastics in this region's surface water ranging from 0.05 to 31% microplastics of the dry mass with an average concentration of 7% microplastics of the dry mass. These results and their analysis in relation to environmental factors in the area lead to a greater understanding of the plastic contamination within the Puget Sound region.

Session 2R: Implementing Precision Medicine
The high antigenic diversity HIV-1 presents an enormous challenge for vaccine design as effective vaccines must be broad and potent in order to recognize and effectively counteract diverse circulating HIV strains. The identification of broadly neutralizing antibodies to recognize and counteract these diverse strains provides optimism for the ability to elicit broad and potent responses against HIV via vaccination. PGT128 is one such antibody and has been shown, in combination with other broadly neutralizing antibodies, to improve neutralization coverage of both viruses transmitted heterosexually and vertically, i.e. from mother to infant. Thus it is crucial that we understand the molecular determinants of the virus that leads to its sensitivity to broadly neutralizing antibodies. We studied viruses from longitudinal time points, one at 21 days post infection and one from 560 days post infection, of one infected individual who displayed increasing sensitivity to PGT128. Using nested PCR to create chimeras between the two viruses, we found that the loss of a single potential N-linked glycosylation site in the V1 region of HIV envelope conferred sensitivity to PGT128. This emphasizes the importance of N-linked glycosylation sites in conferring PGT128 recognition.
Add to my favorites Feminization of "Brain Drain": (Re)formulating Gender Identities of Mexican and Caribbean Migrant Women
Jessica Manfredi, Senior, Global Studies (Bothell), Interdisc St: Law, Economics, Public Pol Mary Gates Scholar
Although highly-skilled women (with a bachelor's degree or above) currently migrate at a rate twice as men worldwide, women's experiences in these migration patterns, especially to the U.S., have been largely neglected in the literature. Research on the feminization of "brain drain" conducted in other countries, however, have displayed how women's gender identities can radically change from the sending to the receiving country, usually resulting in greater gender inequality within both the public and private spheres. Paradoxically, while highly-skilled Latin American women come to the U.S. in the largest numbers, no research to date has documented these women's perspectives within the context of this international movement. Thus, this project aims to explore the ways in which Mexican and Caribbean highly-skilled migrant women (re)formulate their gender identities in the workplace and household as a result of their relocation to the U.S. and, more specifically, to the greater Seattle area. The methods employed include semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 10-15 highly-skilled migrant women recruited through a standard socio-scientific snowball sample. It is anticipated that, much like the findings in previous studies on other demographic groups, the shifting social, economic, and cultural realities between the U.S. and these women's home countries have significantly impacted their gender identities; in other words, leading them to perform less productive labor and to adhere to more traditional feminine roles. This work will contribute to filling the knowledge gap on highly-skilled Latin American women within feminist migration studies, and may be used to inform policy surrounding skilled migration from the region.
Add to my favorites Effects of Hypoxia on the Distribution of Jellyfish in Hood Canal and Potential Influences on Food Web Dynamics
Bethel-Lee Herrmann, Senior, Oceanography
Seasonal hypoxia in Hood Canal, initiated by eutrophication, is a persistent condition that can overtax marine organisms and potentially affect the marine food web. While many organisms cannot survive in hypoxic areas for an extended time and may display stress or avoidance, low metabolic jellyfish could exploit such conditions to their advantage and proliferate. The health of Hood Canal and surrounding Puget Sound fisheries require detailed quantitative analyses to determine if jellyfish populations pose a threat to the balance of these unique ecosystems. During 2012 and 2013, zooplankton samples were collected monthly through June to October using 200 micron nets from four stations representing the greatest range of dissolved oxygen levels in Hood Canal: Union, Hoodsport, Duckabush, and Dabob. After preservation, samples were cataloged by identification, counts, and measurements using a dissecting microscope. Currently, nineteen genus/species have been identified in the classes Scyphozoa and Hydrozoa and in the phylum Ctenophora. Dominant species include the ambush predator hydromedusa Aglantha digitale and the siphonophore Muggiaea atlantica. Seasonal changes showed significant increases in densities of M. atlantica from 2012-2013 during July through August. Seasonal and interannual distributions of community structures will be further explored alongside environmental conditions to identify patterns and changes in the functional diversity of Hood Canal's jellyfish and to infer their ecological impacts.

Public health concern in the U.S and across the world regarding the impact of environmental hazards on human health is becoming more evident as we develop tools to see disparities in exposure and health outcome. Pollutants in the air and water can have lifelong consequences for the quality of lives of many people. Therefore, our toxicology laboratory is examining the result of pesticide exposure and toxicity in children, and how it may cause harm to normal development. Our research centers on studying exposure using blood, urine, and oral buccal samples obtained as part of a Children's Health study on Yakima Valley. We have determined blood pesticide, urinary metabolite concentrations, cholinesterase activity, paraoxonase activity, and genome wide variation in 200 families. We have analyzed buccal samples from farmworker and non-farmworker families that were collected during different pesticide spray seasons. We are studying these buccal swab samples of children and their parents to identify bacteria present within them. We are utilizing targeted 16S ribosomal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determine the phylogenetic composition of the microbiome in saliva samples. The microbiome refers to the vast colonization of microbes within the body. There are more bacterial cells in our bodies than human cells even though they are only about 10% of the total mass. We hope to find a difference in microbe composition and metabolism for samples from agricultural seasons (pesticide use and non-spray seasons), and for child and adult samples. We have already analyzed pilot samples and found consistent results. Recently, we have begun PCR-based analysis and sequencing the remainder of the cohort buccal samples to characterize the diversity of oral microbiomes.

A greased pig slides from rest down a frictionless ramp into frictionless circular track of a radius of four meters. What is the magnitude of this centripetal acceleration is it reaches the lowest point? The diagram has the pig starting from a height that eight meters.
Hello, everyone. Tom from everystephysics.com and everystepcalculus.com. This is a physics problem. A greased pig slides from rest down a frictionless ramp into frictionless circular track of a radius of four meters. What is the magnitude of this centripetal acceleration is it reaches the lowest point? The diagram has the pig starting from a height that eight meters. So since this asks for centripetal acceleration, we're gonna go to that in the menu. Physics to get to the main menu. Scroll down to the C section, all alphabetical. I Try to do that in of physics program problems is to search what it has asked for. That would be intelligent way to do it as far as I'm concerned. So we got centripetal acceleration. And you know the formula for that is V squared over R. But there is no V given. No velocity given in the problem. So, because we're students of engineering or something like that, we have to think a little bit in our own minds. Everything can't be just handed to us. And so we we need to say what is V and where can we get V. Well, we are going to practice on my program and we would then go. You would get out of the program. You do that by pressing on escape and back home to physics and you choose physics again. And now we choose centripetal velocity. And what we're given here radius and height in the problem. Choose that. However when height is given, radius is not in the formula. So, we enter the height that's given. Which is alpha, you have to press alpha before we enter anything into these entry lines, here. Alpha 8 meters. I always show you what you've entered, you can change it if you want. I say it's okay. And the velocity is 12.5 meters per second. The formula is the square root of 2 times gravity times height. And we enter these in here and come up with these calculations. So now we go back to the main menu. Remember that. Write it down, of course. And we're going to scroll down to centripetal, you can use second to go down screen by screen. Second to get to the menu quicker. And we're going to choose centripetal acceleration again. We going to enter the initial velocity. Alpha 12.5. That's meters per second, number 4. We're going to enter the radius. Alpha 4 meters, number 3. I ask you if it's okay. And here's the formula's. Velocity squared times 4 which is these calculations which is 39.06. And the answer to the problem is 39.1. In a multiple choice problem. So you circle that and you got it perfectly correct. Have a good one.
Physics Solver | Projectile into Block
February 19, 2015 · by physics · Bullets, Physics Help, Physics Problem Solver
You set up a ballistic pendulum in order to conduct the experiment. The pendulum is made of a block of wood suspended from a set of strings. You fire the bullet into the stationary block and measure the speed at the combined bullet and block since the bullet lodges inside the block. I certainly would like to see these kids shoot a gun into the block, here for the experiments. I don't know. You measure the mass of the bullet to be 4.2 grams, the mass of the block to be 500 grams, and the speed at the combined bullet and block to be 6.75 meters per second. Calculate the speed of the bullet (muzzle speed) and give your answer in meters per second.
Raw Transcripts
This is Tom from everystepphysics.com and everystepcalculus.com I'm going to an experimental problem in physics that they give you to experiment with in doing the lab class. And let's get started. You set up a ballistic pendulum in order to conduct the experiment. The pendulum is made of a block of wood suspended from a set of strings. You fire the bullet into the stationary block and measure the speed at the combined bullet and block since the bullet lodges inside the block. I certainly would like to see these kids shoot a gun into the block, here for the experiments. I don't know. You measure the mass of the bullet to be 4.2 grams, the mass of the block to be 500 grams, and the speed at the combined bullet and block to be 6.75 meters per second. Calculate the speed of the bullet (muzzle speed) and give your answer in meters per second. So, let me show you how my program would do for this lab thing in your homework a little bit, maybe. Physics to get to my menu. Scroll down to bulletin and pendulum which is the subject matter here. And we're gonna wait for load. Notice when things are loading, you get a busy signal.here on your calculator indicating that is loading. And if it's a long program like this one take a little bit in my but only once. After that, it loads very quickly. And they the bullet is going to embed into the block or the wood. So it's, bullet in. We're going to choose that one. And we want to get initialvelocity of the bullet. We're going to choose that. And they give you instead of height, sometimes they give you height which there's a way of calculating that and there's also the velocity block and bulllet. So that's what they're giving, choose number two. You can choose the numbers before these items. And we're gonna enter the mass. You have to press Alpha before you enter anything in here. Alpha 4.2 is given, 4.2 grams. It's a very small bullet. And the 2 is here I just haven't indicated it but it's still in the calculations. And then we're going into the mass of the block. Alpha 500 grams goes here. And the final velocity is alpha 6.75 meters per second, number three. In the positive direction. I always show what you've entered so you can change it in case you made a mistake and don't like it. I say it's okay. And here's the calculations, here's the formula. All the variables are put in. Notice it's very clear. Initial velocity of one. Notice initial velocity, the used ot have a lot over professors use VO, which meant original velocity. But now lately they've been using initial and I like initial. And of course one is the bullet and two would be the block and bullet. I make everything clear of what in my programs of what I'm talking about. It always bugged me in physics that they throw around letters and minus signs and everything else and you don't know what is going on. But in my programs , you do. Here's the calculations. Here it is110 meters per second. Pretty neat, huh? EveryStepPhysics.com Thank you

Saskatoon, Canada Entz MH et al. (2001a) Agron. J.
Biological systems that can fix atmospheric N2 include a range of free-living microorganisms and associative or symbiotic relationships between microbes and plants. But although there are many potential sources of fixed N in terrestrial ecosystems, symbiotic N2 fixation by legume-rhizobia associations provide the largest inputs of N for agriculture. Environmental and management limitations to legume growth are the major factors regulating N2 fixation, although practices that either limit the presence of effective rhizobia in the soil, or enhance soil nitrate concentrations can also be critical. There is the potential for large increases in N2 fixation and enhanced benefits for farmers in the short-term through the wider availability of high quality rhizobial inoculants, basic improvements in crop agronomy, the introduction of legumes to new areas, and changes in residue management. However, since much of these technologies are already known, the prospects for such increases must be considered within the context of the present constraints to the adoption by farmers of existing knowledge. Further increases in the inputs of fixed N into agro-ecosystems might come from rhizobial strain selection and plant breeding, or the use of modern molecular techniques to transfer the capacity to fix N to non-legume crops. But compared to the large potential gains that could be made via improved management, the impact of genetic changes to either the microsymbiont or host is likely to be relatively marginal.
The fixation of atmospheric N2 can occur in the free-living state with some diazotrophs or via associative relationships on the roots or within the tissues of plants, while other organisms require a symbiosis with specific host plants. Inputs of fixed N by these diverse systems provide a renewable source of N for many terrestrial ecosystems. Biological N2 fixation (BNF) contributes directly to agricultural production where the fixed N is harvested in grain or other food for human or animal consumption, and indirectly by adding N to the soil for the benefit of companion plant species or following crops.
Experimental estimates of N2 fixation by various organisms are presented in Table 1. Free-living N2-fixers probably contribute only small amounts of N to farming systems (Table 1). The data tend to be inconclusive concerning the role of diazotrophs associated with non-legumes in temperate agriculture although studies have demonstrated potential for significant inputs of fixed N by some tropical grasses and crops such as sugarcane (Table 1). Symbiotic associations between Anabaena and the aquatic fern Azolla, or Frankia and actinorrhizal trees such as Casuarina and Alnus may also fix useful amounts of N in agro-ecosystems. However, it is the symbiosis between legumes and rhizobia (Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Allorhizobium, Azorhizobium, Mesorhizobium and Sinorhizobium spp.) that is generally responsible for the largest amounts of fixed N (Table 1).

Love Child Organics launches initiative to support Canadian families
TORONTO, Jan. 4, 2022 /CNW/ – LOVE CHILD ORGANICS, a Canadian food company focused on nourishing young children has launched a fund to support young families in response to recent announcements of additional shutdowns and school closures across various provinces.
LOVE CHILD ORGANICS is donating 30,000 pouches of its 100% organic fruit and vegetable puree products for infants and toddlers to DAILY BREAD FOOD BANK for distribution to food programs. In addition, LOVE CHILD ORGANICS will donate $5.00 of every online purchase from its online store (www.lovechildorganics.com) during the month of January to DAILY BREAD FOOD BANK to help families who require additional food security support during this challenging time.
Love Child Organics (CNW Group/Love Child (Brands) Inc)
Within our Canadian communities, COVID shutdowns have impacted families with young children disproportionately.
Many younger parents are trying to juggle working at home, or no work at all, while trying to manage remote learning or home daycare for their children. For younger parents whose work cannot be done remotely or from home, many have had to give up shifts to stay at home with their children, creating increased food security and financial pressures on these households.
LOVE CHILD ORGANICS is supporting DAILY BREAD FOOD BANK to help ease the strain felt on families during these latest COVID shutdowns. "Our brand was created to improve the overall well-being of families in Canada; at this time, many families are struggling with food security challenges and a near-impossible juggling act," says Brittany Compton, President LOVE CHILD ORGANICS.
"We are grateful for the support from LOVE CHILD ORGANICS, as we work towards Daily Bread's mission of ending hunger in our communities, especially families who are experiencing heightened food security pressures during the latest shutdowns," says Andrew Manson, Manager, Corporate Partnerships DAILY BREAD FOOD BANK.

RIP Sudan
Following the demise of the world's last northern white rhino at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Rachel Rigby recalls her visit there soon before he died – and hopes that his death may be a stimulus for wider conservation efforts. Picture credit Sabine Louys
After three decades of being away I was lured back to Kenya last December, driven by a desire to see Sudan, the last (and ageing) male northern white rhino in the world.
Sudan was living on the 90,000-acre Ol Pejeta Conservancy, that lies at the foot of Mount Kenya. Ol Pejeta has won many conservation awards, is operating a white rhino IVF project and has a chimpanzee sanctuary, so that was even more reason to visit.
On arrival we went directly to the Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages, a new addition to the reserve. After a delicious lunch we set out to the endangered species boma, where we were greeted by armed guards. I was pleased to see the rhino were heavily protected.
We saw Sudan through a wire mesh fence. It was not possible to go into his enclosure as he was suffering from large sores on his ageing legs. The guard didn't want me to see his poor health, but it was clear even then that Sudan was not going to live much longer, no matter how well looked after he was.
It was a strange thing watching him eat slowly, while monkeys stole morsels of his food, knowing he was the last of his kind.
Sudan was standing steady on the ground as the guard explained to us that the sores on his legs were the result of standing on concrete for years in a Czech zoo. Sudan had been captured in the Sudan at two years old for a circus, ending up in the Dvůr Králové Zoo. This had ensured his survival however, as poachers wiped out the other 700 existing northern white rhino across Uganda and Sudan.
Sudan's majestic and handsome presence permeated his being, and I couldn't help but feel sad that humans have caused the death of such a noble species.
After seeing Sudan we were taken to the enclosure where the last two female northern whites were grazing — Sudan's daughter Najin and granddaughter Fatu.
The San Diego Zoo, the Leibniz Institute and Embryo Plus, collected semen from northern white rhinos while they were still alive and have been doing IVF with the eggs of the northern white females. The female of a different subspecies, the southern white rhino, will have to be a surrogate mother as Najin and Fatu both have physical ailments preventing them from carrying a pregnancy.
After watching the rhinos roam for a while we left to visit another enclosure of endangered animals, particularly the Grevy's zebra and Jackson's hartebeest. The Grevy's stripes are noticeably thinner to those of the more common Burchell's zebra.
Ol Pejeta protects 114 black rhinos — 16 per cent of the Kenya's population of the species — and 26 southern white rhino. Amongst these was a blind black rhino called Baraka (meaning 'blessings' in Swahili), who was one of the first rhinos born on the conservancy. We fed Baraka, stroking his horn and his sandpaper-like lips, while pushing grass into the mouth of this prehistoric, magnificent creature.
That evening, while sipping sundowners beside the jeep, a black rhino appeared a few metres away from us. It moved slowly past the car without a glance in our direction. I stood in complete awe, as Michael, our driver, explained that since rhino operate more by smell than sight and as we are downwind, it probably didn't even know we were there.
The next day we visited Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a refuge for animals rescued from captivity and the bush meat trade. Afterwards we made a trip to see Richard van Aardt, head of livestock. He explained how Ol Pejeta used to be a working cattle ranch in colonial Kenya. People were convinced that wildlife could not cohabit with domestic livestock but Ol Pejeta has proven this wrong. Most of the profits from the Ol Pejeta cattle operation, as well as entrance fees, help to fund the rhino conservation activities.
On the way back to camp we stopped at a rhino memorial site (pictured below), set up to commemorate the rhino that have died at Ol Pejeta. It is here where Sudan will be buried and a memorial ceremony held on 31 March, 2018.
As Richard Vigne, CEO of Ol Pejeta, says: "We on Ol Pejeta are all saddened by Sudan's death. He was a great ambassador for his species and will be remembered for the work he did to raise awareness globally of the plight facing not only rhinos, but also the many thousands of other species facing extinction as a result of unsustainable human activity. One day, his demise will hopefully be seen as a seminal moment for conservationists worldwide."

Q: Handle FTP error in shell script I am trying to do an ftp from a shell script, called by another one(parent script). the code  is something like this:
ftp -inv <<EOF
open $hostname
user $username $password

binary

cd $dir
put $renamed_file

bye

EOF

when I check for the return code like:
exitStatus=$?

it always returns 0, even if the ftp fails. I am new to shell scripting and is struggling with how to resolve this. Can someone please help me out?
Thanks!

A: You aren't going to get back the response you want if you look at the bash (or whatever shell) exit status. Bash thinks the command is working just fine - even if it's really an error. Your best bet is to use "batch mode" (your FTP program should have something like that). Capture any error output to a file or STDERR and parse to find your errors.

After several years of complaints about overlooked candidates, Boyer was one of three players restored to the ballot in 1985, along with Cardinals outfielder Curt Flood and fellow third baseman Ron Santo – who had himself received less than 4% of the vote in his only year on the ballot in 1980. He hit .271 in his return to the NL, and he appeared in his 2,000th game on September 7 in a 4–2 loss at Cincinnati.
