Estimates of the daily phase and amplitude of the endogenous component of the circadian rhythm of core temperature in sedentary humans living nychthemerally
Jim Waterhouse, Dietmar Weinert, David Minors, Simon Folkard, Deborah Owens, Greg Atkinson, Alan Nevill, Thomas Reilly
Fifteen healthy female subjects were studied for eight days while living conventionally. Subjects were free to choose the ways they spent their time within a framework of regular times of retiring and rising; in practice, much of the waking time was spent in sedentary activities. Nine of the subjects were aware of the natural light-dark cycle, this approximating to a 12:12 L:D schedule at the time of year when the study took place. Before the study, subjects were assessed for their degree of 'morningness' by questionnaire; throughout the study, they wore a rectal probe, and an activity meter on their nondominant wrist. The timing (phase) and amplitude of the circadian rectal temperature rhythm were assessed on each day by cosinor analysis as well as by a method based on visual inspection of the data. These two parameters were also assessed after the temperature data for each day had been 'purified' by a number of methods. From these results it was possible to investigate the effect of purification upon the amplitude of the circadian rhythm of temperature. Also, the day-by-day variability of phase, and the relationship between morningness and phase, were compared using these methods of phase estimation, and using cross-correlation between data sets from adjacent days; in all cases, raw and purified temperature data were used. There was a significantly greater amount of daily variation in phase using purified rather than raw data sets, and this difference was present with all methods of purification as well as with all methods for estimating phase. Purification decreased the amplitude of the circadian temperature rhythm by about 30%. Finally, there was a significant correlation between the morningness score of the subjects and the phase of the circadian temperature rhythm, the phase becoming earlier with increasing morningness; when this relationship was re-examined using purified data, it became more marked. These results reflect the masking effects exerted upon raw temperature data by lifestyle. The extent to which the purification methods enable the endogenous component of a circadian rhythm - and, by implication, the output of the endogenous circadian oscillator - to be estimated in subjects living normally is addressed.

The world of eCommerce has evolved.
More and more retailers have jumped onto the eCommerce bandwagon which in turn, has created more competition for consumer transactions. As a result, we've seen new models of online retail emerge, such as dropshipping.
Maybe you've even heard of it before, but does dropshipping work? And is it a good business decision?
Basically, the use of dropshipping gives retailers a workaround, saving them from many of the difficulties associated with maintaining inventory and having to implement your own fulfillment process.
As you can imagine, there are a lot of benefits to running a dropshipping business in lieu of a more conventional, inventory-driven eCommerce store.
The main benefits of dropshipping are that it's cost-effective, allows retailers to take risks with less costly repercussions, and makes the storage and infrastructure of inventory unnecessary.
The traditional model for eCommerce often requires you to start your business with some initial capital. This capital is then used for obvious necessities like establishing your inventory and investing in storage space and infrastructure for that inventory.
You'll also use the money for creating your brand identity, building a website, and developing your systems for day-to-day operations.
With a dropshipping business, you can eliminate some of those upfront startup costs. In turn, you can spend more time and capital on things like branding and website design.
When you employ the dropshipping model of eCommerce, you can save yourself many of the expenses related to inventory.
Maintaining your own inventory requires an upfront investment to get your inventory established. You need a way to store and organize that inventory, too. This requires additional expenses, as will replenishing your inventory as you sell products.
Dropshipping offers a rather appealing solution. You can unload the burden of inventory by deferring all those responsibilities to your suppliers and distributors. In other words, you've basically got the inventories of several businesses at your disposal, but none of them are your responsibility to maintain.
Fulfillment isn't free. Picking and packing — which is the process of compiling products for an order and getting them ready for shipment — takes time. Resources like boxes and packaging materials cost money. Shipping products can be expensive, too, especially when the products you're selling are large or heavy.
As with the cost of inventory in general, dropshipping means that your suppliers and distributors do all the fulfilling of your orders, which means you're not burdened by the process (and costs) of fulfillment.
Though taking calculated risks sometimes pays off, it's harder to be a risk-taker when you're maintaining your own inventory. If you decide to branch out by offering products in new product categories, what happens if your customers aren't interested? You could take a huge loss on the amount invested in those products and any of the costs associated with adding them to your inventory.
If you're not burdened with the expense of inventory, you'll find that taking risks won't necessarily have such a devastating effect on your revenue. If you're dropshipping, your suppliers and distributors are the ones who are heavily investing in the products you're selling. You're can experiment with adding new types of products to your online store without needing to put substantial financial backing behind those products.
If you add a new product category and your customers aren't interested, you're not at risk for losing a bunch of money. It's as simple as taking those products off your store. No harm, no foul.
It may sound appealing, but dropshipping may not be the best option for every eCommerce business and online storefront. In fact, there are even certain drawbacks to dropshipping that you should consider before starting a dropshipping business.
Not having to invest upfront in inventory and continue paying for storage and replenishment is a huge plus, but the trade-off is that your margins are much lower. The potential to profit from customer purchases is much more limited.
When you maintain your own inventory, you're often buying your products wholesale, meaning you're getting a discounted rate in exchange for buying in larger quantities. Since this makes your cost per item less, the margin on the item ends up being higher, which leads to more profit.
However, when yours is a dropshipping business, you're deferring your orders to a supplier or distributor for fulfillment, and it's that supplier or distributor who sees the impressive margins. Your own margins will be negotiated with your suppliers and distributors, and it's usually just a small percentage of what your customers pay for the product.
The need for very little capital to start a dropshipping business makes it very appealing to a lot of entrepreneurs. For this reason, you're likely to encounter much more competition in this space than with a more conventional, inventory-dependent eCommerce model.
When yours is a dropshipping business, you're relying on other businesses and companies to essentially facilitate your business. Though many of the suppliers and distributors you'd be working with will have established credibility through years of reliable service, you're still putting the future of your business into others' hands.
And when you're dependent on dropshipping to fulfill orders, you have a limited ability to provide customer service for the products you're selling. For some issues, you may have to refer customers to your supplier or distributor for support. This roundabout way of getting the service they need can be frustrating and discourage future purchases.
Outsourcing fulfillment by using suppliers and distributors to pick and pack your orders is convenient, but it offers very limited opportunities to establish a brand for your business.
Your suppliers and distributors could get the credit for all the products and services your customers buy. If a customer falls in love with one of the products you're selling, for instance, that customer is more likely to focus on whatever company actually manufactured and produced the product than the dropshipping business that served mostly as a liaison between the buyer and manufacturer.
Additionally, dropshipping provides fewer branding opportunities. Customers who receive orders placed through your dropshipping business may see another company's logo on the box and the receipt inside. For traditional retailers, shipment is an opportunity to reinforce a brand, but since a dropshipper doesn't actually fulfill orders, you're not able to seize these kinds of branding opportunities.
The lack of branding opportunities is arguably one of the biggest drawbacks to dropshipping. After all, customers find their favorite stores, and then continue buying from them. If your store is little more than a cash register, there's very little incentive to continue buying from you versus finding the product from a more conventional retailer.
Ultimately, a dropshipping business is an effective business model for those who want to start eCommerce stores while investing as little as possible in the business upfront. On the other hand, those who put more value in branding opportunities or would like more control over margins would probably find the traditional model of eCommerce better meets their needs.
Whether you've decided to start a dropshipping business or a traditional eCommerce store, the first step is to set up your WooCommerce storefront.

Екологі́чні пробле́ми перехідно́го пері́оду: короткий перелік минулих і поточних екологічних проблем у країнах ЦСЄ та СНД:
 Високі рівні забруднення повітря, води і відходів від великих промислових центрів у багатьох районах привели до утворення регіональних «гарячих точок», що завдають серйозної шкоди здоров'ю людей і стану навколишнього середовища.
 Високий рівень забруднення атмосфери у великих населених пунктах викидами з промислових підприємств, низько ефективних систем опалення, що використовують високо сірчисте вугілля або мазут, а також вихлопними газами від старих автомобілів.
 Неефективне і марнотратне використання природних ресурсів, таких як деревина, мінерали, паливо, земля і вода, призвело до різних екологічних проблем.
 Забруднення здебільшого поверхневих вод скидами з підприємств промисловості, муніципального та сільського господарства (важкі метали, токсиканти, нітрати). Погана якість підземних вод у багатьох районах (якість підземних вод часто вже не відома через відсутність необхідного моніторингу).
 Забруднення ґрунту в деяких районах в результаті неадекватного управління утилізацією відходів, очищенням повітря і використанням сільськогосподарських хімікатів; серйозна ерозія ґрунтів в деяких місцях завдяки інтенсивному сільському господарству і пов'язаних з цим водними заходами.
 Забруднення навколишнього середовища від покинутих у минулому військових та індустріальних районів (токсичні відходи, зруйновані ґрунти, тощо). Екологічні зобов'язання справили великий вплив на приватизацію, істотно знизивши вартість деякої приватизованої власності.
 Нехтування ядерною безпекою (як показав Чорнобиль). Серйозна стурбованість ядерною безпекою в регіоні спостерігається протягом 1990-х. Чи не розщеплені або погано захоронення радіаційні та інші небезпечні відходи енергетики та ВПК.
 Управлінню відходами у минулому не приділялося багато уваги, і воно досі слабо розвинене в багатьох районах. Існує велика кількість безконтрольних і нелегальних звалищ. У більшості випадків відсутні можливості і споруди для необхідної утилізації та захоронення. Відносно невелика кількість відходів переробляється та / або використовується повторно. (На жаль, система повторного використання продуктів, що колись добре функціонувала, наприклад пляшок, зараз втрачена).
 Муніципальна екологічна інфраструктура (водозабезпечення, збір та очищення стічних вод, системи опалення, управління відходами) часто слабо розвинена, перебуває в жалюгідному стані або зовсім не існує. Значна частина населення не була підключена до каналізації і в багатьох випадках не мала постійного доступу до чистої питної води.
 Економічний розвиток чинить тиск на цінні екосистеми та біологічне різноманіття. Однією з позитивних рис, успадкованих від періоду центрального планування в регіоні ЦСЄ+СНД, є збереження великих ділянок унікальної природи і практично незайманих місць проживання завдяки характерній для періоду соціалізму політиці концентрації промисловості і поселень в міських центрах, слабо розвинутій інфраструктурі в сільських районах і обмеження розвитку в природних і лісових зонах.

Presented at the 2005 Nutrition Conference sponsored by Department of Animal Science, UT Extension and University Professional and Personal Development The University of Tennessee.
On a world basis goats have provided food and fiber for many people for centuries. This extensive usage of goats to help sustain human life has provided us with many different breeds and biotypes adapted to a variety of environments and production needs. During much of this time goats have survived and produced due to their own selective intake of plant materials or with the aid of caretakers who forced them to consume materials that were not utilized by man or other economically important animals. At times they were provided feeds based on scientific data from other species, that had improved performance.
Citing 10 references a value of 101.38 kcal ME/kgW0.75 (424 kJ) was established as the maintenance energy requirement for goats with no distinction as to age, stage of growth, maturity or biotype (NRC 1981). As most of you are aware subsequent editions of the Nutrient Requirements of Goats have not been published. Therefore, this value has remained the U S basis for establishing many feeding programs.
In a recent publication Luo et al.(2004) utilized a database which included 80 treatment means representing 466 animals and concluded that BW0.75 is an appropriate scaler of goat energy requirements. Utilizing this database he estimated the ME maintenance requirement of goats consuming at near or above maintenance to be 431 kJ/kg BW0.75. We can see that this expanded database has made only a small increase in the proposed maintenance energy requirement. However, when Luo et al. (2004b) predicted energy equirements for maintenance and gain for preweaning, growing and mature goats by regressing metabolizable energy intake against average daily gain he arrived at different values. ME maintenance requirements were predicted to be 485, 489, 580, 489 and 462 kJ/kg BW0.75 for preweaning, growing meat, growing dairy, growing indigenous and mature goats. With this information based on more data and a better understanding that the biotype of the goat to be fed influences their maintenance energy needs, we should have a better opportunity to develop diets to optimize performance.
Dietary energy decisions when formulating feeding programs for weight gain have been fairly simple since metabolizable energy required for weight gain was estimated from three experimental values and established at 7.25 kcal ME/g (30.33 kJ) of gain (NRC 1981) for all rates of gain and with no differentiation as to biotype or growth stage. Luo et al. (2004b) have also predicted the metabolizable energy requirements for gain for the same classes of goats for which they predicted MEm. Their values are 13.4, 23.1, 23.1, 19.8, and 28.5 kJ/g gain for preweaning, growing meat, growing dairy, growing dairy, growing indigenous and mature goats.
These values make it obvious that growth status and biotype are critical inputs when establishing energy inputs to attain a desired level of performance.
"While activity can have a significant influence on the energy requirements of animals there is insufficient data available to make precise estimates of the amount of energy that will be required for any specific amount of activity"( NRC 1981). NRC applied percentage increases to the ME requirement for basic maintenance to account for the energy costs of activity. For light activity under intensive managed grazing a 25 percent increment above maintenance was suggested. In situations with semiarid range pasture and on slightly hilly land, a 50 percent increment was used. For mountainous pastures, or grazing sparsely vegetated grassland increasing the basic ME maintenance by 75 percent was suggested. In a 2004 publication Sahlu et al. provide a detailed table with diet quality, distance traveled, terrain, and grazing plus walking time to suggest multiples of the ME requirement for maintenance may range from 0.034 to a high of 0.838. However, they state in the text accompanying this table "there are not presently published data available to assess the accuracy of this simple system".
Energy requirements for milk production will certainly be more readily applied to dairy goats since production is easily measured, but it is also critical for other biotypes if we are to attain optimum kid weaning weights from these animals. Again, referring to the prominent publication Nutrient Requirements of Goats (NRC 1981) a value of 1246.12 kcal ME/kg (5213.77 kJ) of 4.0 percent fat corrected milk is utilized. This value was felt to be valid for milk with fat ranges from 2.5 to 6.0 percent. Utilizing data from 44 studies with 243 treatment mean observations, Nsahlai et al. (2004a) estimated the requirement and efficiency of use of ME for milk production. Since the value employed for ME maintenance influences the derived value for ME lactation more than one source of estimation was evaluated. When he used the recent ME m derived from estimates of Luo et al. (2004a), dietary ME for milk production was 5224 and 4882 kJ/kg fat corrected milk without and with correction for ME required for excretion of excess nitrogen.
While it is recognized that the later stages of pregnancy require additional energy for fetal growth there is very little data specifically for goats to establish a requirement. NRC (1981) incorporates a value of 0.80 Mcal ME/day as a suggested increase during the last two months of pregnancy. This value includes an additional 20% allowance for multiple births. Sahlu et al. (2004) in Table 15 provides estimated daily requirements of ME for pregnancy in ten day increments from 91 to 150. This table further delineates estimates for ME needed based on expected birth weight and one, two or three kids.
Proteins are the principal building blocks of the animal body and as such are needed continuously. We are reminded in (NRC 1981) that "two types of biologically determined protein requirements have been reported. These pertain to minimum and maintenance levels which must not be confused". Citing five publications a mean value of 2.03 g of total protein /kgW0.75 was suggested for maintenance in the 1981 NRC text. However, this publication utilized a calorie –to-protein ratio of 1 Mcal DE to 32 g total protein when establishing the recommendations in Table 1. More recently Luo et al. (2004a) utilized observations from 73 publications between 1973 and 2003 to determine a requirement for metabolizable protein for maintenance. By regressing metabolizable protein intake against ADG these researchers established a requirement of 3.07g/kgBW0.75 for maintenance of all biotypes of growing goats.
Using the calorie: protein ratio described above and the results from three references, the value of 0.284 grams of total protein per gram gain was used in the Nutrient Requirements of Goats (NRC 1981) to develop the protein requirements for growth shown in Table1. Using regression analysis, as they did for the protein requirement for maintenance, Luo et al. (2004b) determined the metabolizable protein requirement for body weight gain to be 0.404 g/g of gain for meat goats and 0.290 g/g of gain for dairy and indigenous biotypes. These researchers further advise that since metabolizable protein intake may not have been more limiting to growth than ME intake that these estimates be considered as maximum requirements rather than averages.
As addressed in the Nutrient Requirements of Goats (NRC 1981), the energy requirements for activity have not been determined experimentally, therefore the levels listed in Table 1 were derived from protein to calorie ratios. Since energy requirements were established by percentage increment increases for the three levels of activity, listed protein requirements for activity follow the same percentage increases. Recent publications reviewed do not address the influence of activity on protein requirement so no additional discussion will be presented.
Nsahlai et al. (2004) utilized 173 treatment mean observations of lactating goats to determine metabolizable protein requirements. As a result these researchers suggest the requirement for protein for lactation is 1.45 grams of metabolizable protein per gram of milk protein.
The protein requirement for lactation suggested in the Nutrient Requirements of Goats (NRC 1981) was based on a digestible crude protein system for dairy cattle (NRC 1978) due to a lack of adequate data from studies with lactating goats. This method of calculation resulted in a suggested requirement of 72 grams of total crude protein per kilogram of milk (NRC 1981).
As shown in Table A, additional data has indicated a reduction of over 15% in the recommended protein intake for maintenance for mature goats from the 1981 NRC level.
However, estimated energy requirements have been increased almost 9%. These changes can be attributed to a much larger database for calculating the values but, also a better understanding of the partitioning of nutrients to various body functions.
The nutrient requirements of growing goats (Table B) show a different trend than those of mature animals. Protein recommendations increase by over 45% while energy recommendations increase very little. However, it must be remembered that energy requirements are based on minimal activity needed to secure feed and the actual requirement may very.
While the 2004 data increases the information available to make decisions concerning expected performance from a wide variety of feeding conditions. It also enhances our understanding of goat biotype influence on energy and protein requirements it also highlights the need to better understand the feeds we are using if we expect growth performance from meat type goats. Recent published and unpublished data establishes this need more dramatically.
DM basis was supplemented with soybean meal to bring the consumed C P to 12.25%. This is in contrast to a more recent study (Hall 2005) in which meat type goats consumed a mixed grass hay containing 10.6% C P and 39.9% ADF at 2.5% BW. Their ADG was 109 g.
The 1981 NRC has been an excellent source of information concerning goat nutritional requirements and should not be ignored. However, the tremendous amount of information, based on additional data, available in the 2004 publications referenced should be considered when evaluating or developing new goat feeding programs.

'Duck Dynasty' Salary Standoff Holding Up Season 4 Renewal (Exclusive)
7:30 AM PDT 3/27/2013 by Michael O'Connell
Art Streiber/A&E
The bearded stars of A&E's top show are demanding more than $200,000 an episode for the fourth season and beyond.
A version of story first appeared in the April 5 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
The bearded stars of Duck Dynasty are asking for a big pay increase to return to A&E's top-rated series, and the salary standoff is holding up a fourth-season renewal of the show, sources tell THR.
The Robertson family, including brothers Phil and Si and Phil's sons, have seen their outdoorsman empire Duck Commander earn a small fortune thanks in part to notoriety from the hit reality series. Now they have banded together and -- represented by WME -- are angling to renegotiate their existing contracts. Sources close to the negotiation say the family is asking for more than $200,000 an episode from A&E and production company Gurney Productions to return for a fourth season, with additional raises for subsequent seasons.
PHOTOS: Broadcast TV's Returning Shows 2013-14
The standoff comes as little surprise given Duck Dynasty's success. Season three bowed in February to a whopping 8.6 million viewers and a 3.9 rating among adults 18-to-49. In the key demo, Duck Dynasty is second only to AMC's The Walking Dead on all of cable and tops all broadcast offerings in its 10 p.m. Wednesday slot.
Hit reality shows have a history of salary stalemates. For instance, the cast of MTV's Jersey Shore held up production in 2010 while demanding a 200 percent raise for its third season and beyond. Discovery's Deadliest Catch cast quit the show amid a 2010 lawsuit and pay dispute then "un-quit" when the spat was resolved.
Some networks, like Discovery with Bering Sea Gold, have tried to combat plays for triple-digit pay increases by locking casts into five-year contracts early on, but renegotiations are common on hit shows after the second or third seasons.
A&E declined comment, but a source says the network does not recoup as much of its investment in its reality stars as some of its competitors, such as Bravo with its post-Bethenny Frankel Real Housewives. A&E owns no stake in the Robertsons' various branding efforts, their duck-call business or any of or their frequent speaking engagements at religious and business events, the latter of which alone have netted them tens of thousands of dollars.
Still, given the show's breakout-hit status, a resolution seems a must for A&E. Says a source close to the dealmaking, "It'll all get worked out."

The Latest Paranormal News
Paranormal Activity Captured On Camera At An Haunted Hotel
Published on 28 August 2021 at 16:37
Paranormal activity is captured on a security camera at the Magnolia Hotel in the city of Seguin.
The building was established in 1840 and it was the site of a tragedy in 1874 when a little girl was butchered to death by an intruder using an axe.
Many believe that the spirit of the girl is one of the many ghosts that haunt this hotel. She has made her presence known in many different ways throughout the years.
Strange paranormal events were captured on camera in a room that is filled with toys. A ball can be seen rolling across the floor, and a pair of 'rem pods' furiously flash.
RELATED POST: A MOTHER CALLS IN A PRIEST AFTER CAPTURING A GHOSTLY BLACK FIGURE ON CCTV
The rempod is popular device that is favoured by paranormal investigators and it begins to illuminate when someone or something touches it.
After the ball stops moving, a shadowy figure can be seen as it enters the room before vanishing under a table. Then finally a dress on a mannequin flutters as if something is disturbing the air in the room.
The owners of the hotel believe that the paranormal activity that was captured on camera is the result of the buildings ghosts.
"That is our children's room where all of our little spirits enjoy playing because of all the toys," co-owner Erin Ghedi explained, "this was definitely sweet Emma because she is the one who enjoys rolling the ball."
It is claimed that the shadow figure is known as 'Mrs. Read,' and it is her job to keep an eye on the ghostly children who inhabit the hotel.

The Neeson File
Michelle Rodriguez Apologizes for Her Liam Neeson Defense
"I defended a friend in the wrong way. . . . I had no intention of invoking such a terrible historical comparison."
By Kevin Fitzpatrick
Days after speaking out in defense of co-star Liam Neeson, Michelle Rodriguez has apologized for the way in which she went about it. The Widows star previously dismissed Neeson's anecdote of pre-meditated violence against a black man, claiming his on-screen chemistry with Viola Davis negated any suggestions of racism.
"To my friends and colleagues and my fans and community: I want to deeply apologize for my recent choice of words, and poor use of example," Rodriguez wrote in a Saturday Instagram post. "In a pressure-filled situation, I defended a friend in the wrong way. I now realize how insensitive it was, and I had no intention of invoking such a terrible historical comparison. I have learned from this, and will grow from it."
The controversy began when Neeson made an unexpected confession of racial prejudice during press rounds for his new film, Cold Pursuit. The 66-year-old actor relayed a story of having learned a female friend had been raped some years earlier, and how his anger drove him to seek out and potentially attack someone matching the alleged assailant's description. Neeson subsequently denied that pursuing retribution against "some black bastard" made him racist, and celebrities like Rodriguez and Terry Crews have attempted to parse his intent.
Rodriguez addressed the question on the red carpet of the amfAR Gala in New York earlier this week, offering, "Dude, have you watched Widows? His tongue was so far down Viola Davis's throat. You can't call him a racist ever. Racists don't make out with the race that they hate, especially in the way he does with his tongue—so deep down her throat. I don't care how good of an actor you are. It's all bullshit. Ignore it. He's not a racist. He's a loving man. It's all lies."

Check CNN's Documentary On The Clipse.
CNN covers a mini documentary on Clipse, the renowned Virginia Beach hip-hop duo comprising real-life brothers Pusha T and No Malice. Despite a small glimmer of hope earlier this year, the future of Clipse has become increasingly uncertain, as No Malice has repeatedly expressed a disinterest in any further collaborations with his brother. CNN reporter Bill Weir offers a in-depth look into the brother's current relationship and differing ideologies (No Malice recently became a born-again Christian). In fact, not once during the entire segment do the two brothers appear on camera together.

On Saturday we made it to the Cabaret tent for the end of Jeremy Hardy and stayed there for Josh Widdicombe and Shappi Khorsandi, both of whom were very funny. Shappi did mis-judge her audience though when doing the joke about not knowing when Harvest Festival is. Didn't she realise we were in the heart of farming country and very few people there were from central London? You know what to expect with Jeremy Hardy, but my complaint about the Cabaret Tent this year is that lazy comedians thought it would work to just stick in some slagging off of the Conservative Party and think that would go down well. One person (not memorable enough to remember their name) did this; it fell flat on the audience apart from one singular person cheering and they followed this with 'I know my audience' despite every single other person not looking impressed! For a start, we're in the Cabaret tent and expect to be entertained, not preached at (please keep that to the Speaker's Forum or the Left Field stage), and secondly, one of the newspapers polled the festival-goers and worked out that 70% of them voted Conservative!
To be honest, I'm not sure what I did directly after that, but I ended up meeting friends at the Pyramid Stage, which was jam-packed for George Ezra. Managed to get some shade under the one and only tree in that massive field, and laid down for a snooze. I thought I only drifted off for a minute, but woke up to realise I'd slept through Burt Bacharach singing What the world needs now. Very annoyed about that! Paloma Faith was on afterwards. I was left feeling a bit flat by her performance actually. Last time she came on stage with 2 giant helium balloons strapped to a harness round her waist, and she didn't better that with the tuxedo suit. Stone Cold Sober was the only song she sang that I really liked as I'm not a fan of her latest 2 albums. I was hoping for more old stuff, but was disappointed. Never mind.
I had a dilemma that evening between Suede in the John Peel tent as I quite fancied a 90s reminisce, and La Soiree in the Circus Big Top. I went with the circus as that act came recommended and I wouldn't be able to see them the next night. It was a really good show, but I think I would've preferred Suede to be honest, and I'm disappointed I missed them. La Soiree were a mix of extremely good circus acts – particularly a duo aerial performance and the 2 guys doing balancing and acrobatics. However the drag acts and the prom queen thing (I won't go into details of what she did) I found uncomfortable. The expressions on the stripping magician's face were priceless (and yes, she did get completely naked).
Sunday came around too quickly and somehow we just didn't move quick enough in the morning and only caught the last 3 songs of the Lounge Kittens in Cabaret. I'm hoping they're back next year. Then I happened to catch Professor Elemental on the Sensation Seekers Stage, who was really funny and I definitely want to see again. Then on to Avalon for Ferocious Dog. I couldn't make my mind up about them to be honest. I really liked the music, but I'm always unsure when there's a political message involved. I'm dancing away, not sure if I actually agree with the lyrics as you can't hear them properly.
Then I joined the throngs of people heading towards the Pyramid for Lionel Richie. He was great and I'm so glad I was there for that performance. I was annoyed I didn't know more of his songs though as the crowd around me were singing along to plenty I didn't recognise and it would've been nice to join in!
After that I went for a last wonder around. I watched 3 Daft Monkeys at the bandstand and they were brilliant. Annoyed I'd just eaten a toasted Goat's cheese and walnut sandwich, so couldn't really do the jumpy dancing I would've liked to! Then to the Craft field and watched some wood-turning, which I'm interested in starting, and caught up my with my friend Amanda from wildwood willow. Then back to the Pyramid for the end of Paul Weller to ensure a spot for The Who. We missed them last time they played as we had to go home early for my daughter's school trip, so we were absolutely thrilled when we found out they were playing again. Another rock legend to tick off the list! And they truly were amazing. Again everyone around me were singing along and I had expected to know more songs, but it didn't matter. It was a very good way to end the festival.
Glastonbury 2015 round-up: I think this was the worst line-up ever for me for main bands, but of course there is still plenty to do and I still didn't see enough in the circus Big Top. I also really enjoy finding new bands and discovering I really like them! The best thing about this year was the atmosphere. It's weird how this can change so much from year to year, but I felt this one was particularly chilled and everyone seemed relaxed and happy. The good weather (for most of the time) obviously helps with this.
Chris and I recently returned from a month in Connecticut, near the city of New York, and each weekend we went exploring in every direction. I've put together ten of my favourite photos – and this was a challenge to get it down to only ten! – in the hope that the cold weather doesn't put you off from visiting the New England area of America. I thought it was absolutely beautiful!….


Abstract: We tested three different protein domains for their ability to confer a short half life onto the otherwise stable test protein dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. E-DHFR, a protein with Glu as the first residue, is metabolically unstable in Arabidopsis, indicating that Glu is a destabilizing residue of the plant N-end rule pathway. In contrast, the degradation signal deg1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factor Matalpha2p is not recognized when present at the amino-terminus of DHFR. Finally, we show that the amino-terminal 93 amino acids of the plant protein 1- aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase contain a degradation signal that is also active in yeast.

Petrol prices hit 'frightening' new record high of 177.9p a litre, figures show
Prices at the pumps have been soaring in recent months due to the war in Russia and bottlenecks in supply chains.
Average petrol prices have reached a "frightening" new record high of 177.9p a litre, figures show, a further increase on the last record price set just days ago.
Fuel prices have been hitting new fresh highs every few days in recent weeks, as the supply dries up at a time when demand is starting to gain speed.
The average cost to fill a 55-litre family car with unleaded petrol is now nearly £98, according to the RAC, with prices still likely to continue increasing.
A tank of diesel costs nearly £102.
"The relentless run of record fuel prices continued over the bank holiday with the average price of petrol rocketing nearly 4p a litre since the end of May," said RAC fuel spokesperson Simon Williams.
The cost of unleaded was now "frightening", he said, with more bad news on the way.
"With oil above $120 a barrel and sterling still at $1.20, worse is still to come," Mr Williams said.
"Sadly, we expect to see the average price of petrol break through the 180p mark this week with diesel moving further towards 190p."
Rising petrol and diesel prices are, in part, being caused by climbing oil prices.
It comes after EU leaders agreed to cut 90% of oil imports from Russia by the end of the year, imposing the bloc's most punishing sanction yet on Moscow since its invasion of neighbouring Ukraine in March.
But prices at the pump are also being driven by a shortage of petrol and diesel, types of refined crude oil.
A huge surge in demand after global easing of coronavirus restrictions, and a reduction in refining capacity, has created a shortage that is pushing up the cost.
"More radical government intervention is urgently needed, whether that's in the form of a further reduction in fuel duty or a VAT cut," said Mr Williams.
"As it is, drivers surely won't be able to cope unless something is done to help. This is fast becoming a national crisis for the country's 32 million car drivers as well as countless businesses."
OPENAI REPORTINGLY HIRING "ARMY" OF DEVS TO TRAIN AI TO REPLACE ENTRY LEVEL CODERS


Assured Guaranty heralds a solid first quarter, with new business and a rating upgrade from S&P cementing a strong start to 2014.
The company reported first quarter 2014 operating income of $132 million compared with $260 million for the first quarter of 2013. Operating income was higher in Q1 2013 because that quarter included: a $71 million benefit from a settlement with one of Assured Guaranty's largest R&W providers; higher net earned premiums arising from refundings and terminations; and higher scheduled net earned premiums and credit derivative revenues due to a larger insured structured finance portfolio.
First quarter 2014 net income was $42 million, compared with first quarter 2013 net loss of $144 million. The main driver of the increase was lower non-economic net unrealized fair value losses on credit derivatives.
"We've begun the year with a solid first quarter, reaching a new high in operating shareholders' equity per share and increasing our new business production," says Dominic Frederico, president and CEO. "Importantly, in March, S&P raised the financial strength ratings of our operating subsidiaries to AA with a stable outlook – an acknowledgment of our financial strength, the improvement in our risk profile, the fundamental market acceptance of our guarantees and our strong competitive position.
Frederico continues, "In addition, we resumed repurchasing our shares, a critical component of our capital management. It is our intent to fully utilize the remaining capacity under our current share repurchase authorization by September 30th of this year and, at that time, to request further authorization from our board of directors. As in the past, our capital management execution is contingent on our available free cash and capital position, the maintenance of our strong financial strength ratings, and other factors."

Posted on December 27, 2012 by Federica
This year luxury jewellery brand MAWI is celebrating a landmark anniversary of 10 years in business. Founded in 2002 by husband and wife Tim Awan and Mawi Keivom in London, the brand continues to be a major player on the international fashion scene, gathering a cult following, celebrity clientele and numerous collaborations. In celebration of this milestone, MAWI will reflect on the decade in which the brand evolved from a keen interest in collecting and customizing vintage trinkets, to one of the world's leading costume jewellery design houses with an archive of over 20 luxury collections. Born in Manipur, Northeast India, Mawi's life has spanned many continents and cultures. As the daughter of a diplomat, she spent the majority of her childhood travelling the world, an influence clearly manifested in her eclectic designs. Hailing from a creative family, Mawi was destined to excel in the arts and an early exposure to sewing, knitting, and crochet was a key influence on her appreciation of craftsmanship – a quality that remains at the core of the MAWI brand. There was no doubt that Mawi would pursue a career in fashion, and after studying Fashion Design at Auckland Institute of Technology in New Zealand, she relocated to New York to work at Isaac Mizrahi. Mawi had always been drawn to London's creative vibe, the music scene and diverse subcultures. It was when she moved to London 16 years ago that she met Tim, her future husband and business partner. Tim, the son of an antiques dealer, grew up surrounded by the trade that would develop a keen eye for vintage and antique collectibles. Tim and Mawi's continually growing repertoire of over a thousand trinkets made for ample material for inspiration, experimentation and customization and launching the MAWI brand in 2002 was a natural progression. Following its initial success, MAWI made its debut at London Fashion Week in 2003 with a collection of jewellery and handbags. The luxurious, contemporary designs caught the attention of the British Fashion Council who awarded the brand the New Generation Award for three consecutive seasons; her designs were immediately snapped up by prestigious stores such as Selfridges, Barneys, Liberty and Browns. As a result of its seasonal transformation and ability to capture a signature aesthetic, requests for the brand poured in, not only from stockists but also from stylists and editors worldwide. In the following years, the demand for MAWI grew throughout the international fashion circuit and the brand has since been a regular exhibitor at London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks.
When the brand first launched the collections comprised eclectic accessories as well as vintage inspired costume jewellery and trinkets. MAWI then honed in on a niche in the market for contemporary costume jewellery and the brand ultimately evolved into two lines: Heirloom and Costume Luxe. The Heirloom collection is inspired by British heritage, drawing influence from vintage treasures, royal and historical jewels and romantic and sentimental family heirlooms that stand the test of time. In contrast, the Costume Luxe collection draws inspiration from architectural, sculptural, and futuristic aesthetics with an emphasis on high end luxury. The Costume Luxe collection combines traditional aesthetics with contemporary vision through the exploration of new materials and techniques. Having pushed the boundaries of traditional costume jewellery, the inimitable designs are timeless collectibles in their own right and the brand has since become one of the foremost trendsetters in the industry, winning numerous awards and accolades. Mawi's pioneering spirit and daring innovations are continually pushing the boundaries and her visionary eye has created a new language and means of expression within the luxury jewellery market. Over the years the brand has collaborated with some of the most iconic brands, top fashion houses as well as some of the biggest players on the high street. In 2007 the brand collaborated for the first time with Topshop to offer quirky, vintage inspired pieces. In the years to follow, Mawi designed a collection for Atelier Swarovski; designed two capsule collections for ASOS; collaborated on catwalk pieces for Katie Eary and David Koma and has featured in the shows of prolific designers such as Alice Temperley and Jean Charles de Castelbajac, to name a few. Two capsule collections of exclusive, wearable MAWI pieces were created for the HUGO line and sold exclusively in Hugo Boss stores for the Autumn/Winter 2011 and Spring/Summer 2012 seasons. In autumn 2011 MAWI partnered with Disney to create a one- off collection, affectionately titled 'Minnie Mawi'. The much sought after collection was stocked by concept stores, high-end and specialty boutiques, and department stores worldwide. Most recently, in April 2012, the brand teamed up with Stardoll.com to launch a virtual store to an online community of over 166 million users. Next year will see a further partnership with Swarovski as MAWI was selected to provide a designer's perspective
On Spring/Summer 2013 trend predictions. In collaboration with Swarovski Elements, MAWI has created four key looks for the season along with insights into the brand's design process which will be published and distributed to the extensive network of brands that work with Swarovski Elements. The brand's position within the luxury fashion arena was further cemented when it was named in 2010 as one of the Walpole British Luxury Brands of Tomorrow, a prestigious award which helps to nurture British brands in the luxury sector. The following year MAWI was named as a leading brand in the Trendsetter category of the Professional Jeweller Hot 100 – awarded to the most innovative, influential and forward-thinking individuals and businesses in the UK jewellery industry. MAWI has also been acknowledged by the Department of Trade and Industry and was awarded the Mayor of Hackney's Best Product Design award in 2009. April 2011 marked a turning point for the brand with the opening of its first flagship boutique in London. Situated in Shoreditch alongside creative powerhouses The Rochelle School, Frieze Art, Shoreditch House and a host of new creative talent as well as established names, the store reflects the brand's loyalty to its East London creative roots and the signature juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary aesthetics. To commemorate its ten year anniversary, MAWI has launched a limited edition Retrospective collection that will be available in stores from July 2012. The Retrospective Collection comprises the brands most iconic and innovative pieces spanning the past ten years. Among the highlights of the Retrospective collection are the MAWI panther motif featured in the Neo Panther collection, classic sunray tube designs, and iconic spikes and decadent Swarovski crystals from the Dynasty collection. The Retrospective comprises a 'greatest hits' of the past ten years; each theme has been updated and redesigned to create limited edition pieces showcasing timeless classics inspired by the brand's signature designs and bestsellers. The MAWI headquarters is housed in a 300 year old stable in Dalston, firmly settled in the neighbourhood which has nurtured and shaped the brand over the past 10 years. Surrounded by the creative hotspots of Dalston, Hoxton, and Shoreditch, the studio is filled with antiques, art and vintage objects that continue to be a source of inspiration for the brand.

Q: Как сделать некоторые пункты QComboBox временно недоступными для выбора коллеги!
Среда IDE QT Creator 5.10. У меня такой вопрос. Есть QComboBox, у которого много пунктов. В зависимости от смены режимов некоторые пункты должны становиться недоступными для выбора, но нельзя просто стереть текущий набор пунктов и заполнить только разрешёнными. Надо сделать чтобы недоступные пункты остались, но изменили цвет на серый и стали недоступными для выбора пользователем. Необходимо чтобы номера разрешённых пунктов выпадающего меню не изменялись потому что выбор пунктов и смену режимов может выполнять не только пользователь, но и управляемая система, а у неё номера фиксированные.
Пример:
QStringList interlivingPSK;
interlivingPSK << "1: Zero"
               << "2: Ultra Short"
               << "3: Very Short"
               << "4: Short"
               << "5: Medium"
               << "6: Long"
               << "7: Very Long";
ui->comboBoxInterleaverPSK->addItems(interlivingPSK);
ui->comboBoxInterleaverPSK->setCurrentIndex(4);

Как, например, "загрэить" пункты 2, 3, 5, 7 ?

A: Обратитесь к модели QComboBox и через нее сделайте элементы неактивными:
QStandardItemModel* model = (QStandardItemModel*) ui->comboBoxInterleaverPSK->model();
model->item(1)->setEnabled(false);
model->item(2)->setEnabled(false);
model->item(4)->setEnabled(false);
model->item(6)->setEnabled(false);

Q: Generic list of lists Java i'm trying to make a generic function in Java to find out the maximum similarity between an ArrayList and a list from an ArrayList of ArrayLists.
public static int maxSimilarity(ArrayList<?> g,
        ArrayList<ArrayList<?>> groups){

    int maxSim = 0;
    for(ArrayList<?> g2:groups){
        int sim = similarity(g, (ArrayList<?>) g2);
        if(sim > maxSim)
            maxSim = sim;
    }
    return maxSim;
}

However, when i try to call it in my main function, it show an incompatible error
ArrayList<ArrayList<Points>> cannot be converted to ArrayList<ArrayList<?>>

I don't understand, i tought all objects can be represented by the ? sign. Also, it works in my similarity function, between two ArrayLists:
public static int similarity(ArrayList<?> g1, ArrayList<?> g2){
    int total = 0;
    for(Object o1:g1){
        for(Object o2:g2){
            if(o1.equals(o2))
                total++;
        }
    }
    return total;
}

A: Instead of a wildcard, declare a generic value:
public <T> static int maxSimilarity(List<T> g, List<? extends List<T>> gs);

A: Change your method signature to:
public static int maxSimilarity(ArrayList<?> g, ArrayList<? extends ArrayList<?>> groups)

And in general prefer using interface types, instead of actual implementations (more flexible, less code):
public static int maxSimilarity(List<?> g, List<? extends List<?>> groups)

[edit] Based on the suggestion with the type variables, to make this super-generic, it should be:
public static <T> int maxSimilarity(List<? extends T> g, List<? extends List<? extends T>> groups)

Notice that ? extends T. This way, you can use e.g.
List<List<StringBuilder>> groups = // ...
List<String> g = // ...
maxSimilarity(g, groups);

(StringBuilder and String are a CharSequence, so they can be compared).

A: If you want to compare lists of similar objects, you should introduce a method type parameter
public static <T> int maxSimilarity(List<T> g, List<List<T>> groups) {

because it's nearly useless comparing completely different objects.

A: Try declaring your method:
public static <T>int maxSimilarity(ArrayList<T> g,  ArrayList<ArrayList<T>> groups)

Hope it helps.
