Uses of Microbiology in Biology

Relationship Between Physics and Biology
Microbiology is the field of study that examines the small organisms, called microorganisms, that are not visible to the naked eye. Protozoans, diseases, bacteria, fungi and viruses all fall under the umbrella of microbiology research. Some microbial cells break down organic matter and recycle nutrients, such as carbon and nitrogen, that are necessary for life on Earth.
Medicine and Disease
Biologists use knowledge obtained from microbiology when studying the immune system. Scientists study vitamin efficiency when determining the effect that vitamin supplements have on humans. Biologists use a knowledge of how bacteria, viruses and protists affect cells to find cures and treatments for various ailments. Without microbiology, scientists wouldn't have the ability to see the inner structure of a cell and learn how bacteria, viruses and protists develop, grow and infect other cells.
Two of the worst oil spills in U.S. history, the BP Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010 and the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989, were cleaned up in part due to microbiology. Microorganisms worked to degrade the oil and reduce the impact of the spill. Biologists study organisms to learn how to better care for and repair damage to the environment. Microbiologists study the effects of disasters like the oil spill to determine how higher-level biological life-forms respond. Biologists can use an understanding of microbiology to determine how microorganisms affect larger life-forms such as mammals.
Biomedical research pulls from many areas of life and physical sciences, including biology. Microbiology provides information needed to create vaccines and treatments for diseases. Biologists use microbiology to develop new methods of combating illness. Companies often employ microbiologists to develop new products that kill viruses and bacteria. Biomedical research can result in findings that allow biologists a greater understanding of how and why infections progress. For example, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai recently discovered how a protein that normally protects cells actually allows the Marburg virus to live longer and replicate itself more easily.
An understanding of microbiology helps biologists keep our food safe. Biologists study microbiology to identify the microorganisms that exist in food. An understanding of these microorganisms can help biologists uncover ways to prevent food spoilage and make food safe. Biologists pit good bacteria against pathogenic bacteria to prevent food contamination. For example, nisin is an antibacterial agent used in cheese, meats and beverages to extend shelf life by suppressing the growth of harmful bacteria.

Tax Revenues Still Lag Behind Pre-Recession Peak in 26 States
U.S. state tax revenues declined for the first time since the recent economic crisis, according to reports from the Rockefeller Institute of Government and the Pew Charitable Trusts. The small drop in revenues is not being viewed as a sign of another fiscal collapse, but does indicate that the recovery may be slowing. For the 26 states in which revenues still have not returned to 2008 levels, the slowdown may suggest that a full recovery could still be years away.
The Rockefeller Institute notes that state tax collections began to soften in the second half of 2013, leading revenues to decline in the first quarter of 2014 for the first time since the end of 2009. After four years of uninterrupted quarterly growth, states reported an overall revenue decline of 0.3 percent. Preliminary data suggests that revenues may drop again in the second quarter, due to declining collection of personal income tax. The decline was anticipated by many because of a scheduled increase in federal capital gains tax rates, according to Pew and Rockefeller.
Both groups note that the current drop is not necessarily indicative of a long term-trend. In fact, Pew notes that overall U.S. state tax revenues have nearly returned to that pre-recession peak. Combined tax revenues from all 50 states have narrowly recovered to 2008 levels in inflation-adjusted dollars, according to Pew.
This recovery, however, has been very uneven across the country. Only 20 states have actually surpassed their inflation-adjusted levels from 2008. In 26 states, revenues continue to lag significantly behind peak levels. Alaska, Wyoming, Florida and New Mexico remain furthest behind their peak, with most states in the Mountain West and Southeast and Atlantic lagging behind the rest of the country.
North Dakota leads the nation in revenue growth, outperforming its 2008 tax collection by 115 percent in the first quarter of 2014. Pew attributed the growth to the success of the state's oil industry in recent years. Illinois and Minnesota also rank in the top three states for recovery.
A Pew report on state spending notes that state spending fell in FY12 for the first time in 50 years due to the decline in federal aid following the end of the Recovery Act stimulus. Since the end of the stimulus program, states have struggled to increase revenues to replace the drop in federal funds. In Florida, where revenues remain more than 20 percent lower than in the pre-recession period, spending fell to its lowest level since 1990 in FY12.
Pew has put together an in-depth analysis of state fiscal health, including an interactive data tool and reports on state revenues, spending, federal support and overall economic situation. View Pew's Fiscal 50: State Trends and Analysis…

Exports of beans and pulses reached almost US$400 million from the beginning of the fiscal year to August 15, with the amount totalling about 520,000 tonnes, the Ministry of Commerce said.
A total of 520,748 tonnes of beans and pulses were exported from April 1 to August 15 and their export value was $399.54 million, according to preliminary data from the ministry.
Green gram and green peas, also known as Mung beans, were the top export items in the category. About 400,000 tonnes were exported via sea routes and the rest by land routes. In dollar terms, exports by sea were valued at $296 million, while exports by land totaled $102.9 million.
The ministry also reported that total agricultural product exports exceeded more than $870 million, including rice and corn.
Most exports are to other Asian countries, though the country is beginning to crack some western markets. About 95 per cent of total trade last year was with other Asian countries. Total trade reached $23 billion last year.

Q: Finding rows with consecutive increase in the values of a column I have a sql table that stores the daily prices of stocks. New records are inserted every day after the market closes. I want to find the stocks that have consecutive increases in price.
The table has lots of columns, but this is the relevant subset:
quoteid     stockid      closeprice     createdate
--------------------------------------------------
    1           1               1       01/01/2012
    2           2              10       01/01/2012
    3           3              15       01/01/2012

    4           1               2       01/02/2012
    5           2              11       01/02/2012
    6           3              13       01/02/2012

    7           1               5       01/03/2012
    8           2              13       01/03/2012
    9           3              17       01/03/2012

   10           1               7       01/04/2012
   11           2              14       01/04/2012
   12           3              18       01/04/2012

   13           1               9       01/05/2012
   14           2              11       01/05/2012
   15           3              10       01/05/2012

The quoteid column is a primary key.
In the table, the closing price of stock id 1 increases every day. Stock id 3 fluctuates a lot, and the price for stock id 2 fell on the last day.
I am looking for a result like this:
stockid     Consecutive Count (CC)
----------------------------------
    1                5
    2                4

If you can get output with dates for the consecutive streak, that would even better:
stockid     Consecutive Count (CC)      StartDate      EndDate
---------------------------------------------------------------
    1                5                 01/01/2012    01/05/2012
    2                4                 01/01/2012    01/04/2012

StartDate is when the price started increasing and EndDate is when the bull run actually finished.
I have figured this is not an easy problem. I have looked at other posts here which also deal with this consecutive scenario but they don't fit my needs. If you know any post that is similar to mine, please do let me know.

A: In any case, it helps to put it in terms of increasing rows-per-stock (the actual quoteid value isn't really helpful here).  Count of days captured (in this table) is easiest - if you want something else (like only business days, ignoring weekends/holidays, or whatever) it gets more involved; you'd probably need a calendar file.  You're going to want an index over [stockid, createdate], if you don't have one already.
WITH StockRow AS (SELECT stockId, closePrice, createdDate,
                         ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY stockId
                                           ORDER BY createdDate) rn
                  FROM Quote),

     RunGroup AS (SELECT Base.stockId, Base.createdDate,
                         MAX(Restart.rn) OVER(PARTITION BY Base.stockId
                                              ORDER BY Base.createdDate) groupingId
                  FROM StockRow Base
                  LEFT JOIN StockRow Restart
                         ON Restart.stockId = Base.stockId
                            AND Restart.rn = Base.rn - 1
                            AND Restart.closePrice > Base.closePrice)

SELECT stockId,
       COUNT(*) AS consecutiveCount,
       MIN(createdDate) AS startDate, MAX(createdDate) AS endDate
FROM RunGroup
GROUP BY stockId, groupingId
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 3
ORDER BY stockId, startDate

Which yields the following results from the provided data:
Increasing_Run
stockId   consecutiveCount  startDate    endDate
===================================================
1         5                 2012-01-01   2012-01-05
2         4                 2012-01-01   2012-01-04
3         3                 2012-01-02   2012-01-04

SQL Fiddle Example
(Fiddle also has an example for multiple runs)
This analysis will ignore all gaps, correctly matches all runs (the next time a positive run starts).

So what's going on here?
StockRow AS (SELECT stockId, closePrice, createdDate,
                    ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY stockId
                                      ORDER BY createdDate) rn
             FROM Quote)

This CTE is being used for one purpose: we need a way to find the next/previous row, so first we number each row in order (of the date)...
RunGroup AS (SELECT Base.stockId, Base.createdDate,
                    MAX(Restart.rn) OVER(PARTITION BY Base.stockId
                                         ORDER BY Base.createdDate) groupingId
             FROM StockRow Base
             LEFT JOIN StockRow Restart
                    ON Restart.stockId = Base.stockId
                       AND Restart.rn = Base.rn - 1
                           AND Restart.closePrice > Base.closePrice)

... and then join them based on the index.  If you end up on something that has LAG()/LEAD(), using those instead will almost certainly be a better option.  There's one critical thing here though - matches are only if the row is out-of-sequence (less than the previous row).  Otherwise, the value end up being null (with LAG(), you'd need to use something like CASE afterwards to pull this off).  You get a temporary set that looks something like this:
B.rn   B.closePrice   B.createdDate  R.rn   R.closePrice   R.createdDate  groupingId
1      15             2012-01-01     -      -              -              -
2      13             2012-01-02     1      15             2012-01-01     1
3      17             2012-01-03     -      -              -              1
4      18             2012-01-04     -      -              -              1
5      10             2012-01-05     4      18             2012-01-04     4

... So there's values for Restart only when the previous was greater than the "current" row.  The use of MAX() in the window function is being used to the greatest value seen so far... which because null is lowest, causes the row-index to be retained for all other rows until another mismatch occurs (which gives a new value).  At this point, we essentially have the intermediate results of a gaps-and-islands query, ready for the final aggregation.
SELECT stockId,
       COUNT(*) AS consecutiveCount,
       MIN(createdDate) AS startDate, MAX(createdDate) AS endDate
FROM RunGroup
GROUP BY stockId, groupingId
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 3
ORDER BY stockId, startDate

The final part of the query is getting the start and end dates of the run, and counting the number of entries between those dates.  If there was something more complicated for the date calculation, it probably needs to happen at this point.  The GROUP BY is showing one of the few legitimate instances of not including a column in the SELECT clause.  The HAVING clause is used to eliminate runs that are "too short".

A: I would try a CTE, roughly like:
with increase (stockid, startdate, enddate, cc) as
(
    select d2.stockid, d1.createdate as startdate, d2.createdate as enddate, 1
    from quote d1, quote d2
    where d1.stockid = d2.stockid
    and d2.closedprice > d1.closedprice
    and dateadd(day, 1, d1.createdate) = d2.createdate

    union all

    select d2.stockid, d1.createdate as startdate, cend.enddate as enddate, cend.cc + 1
    from quote d1, quote d2, increase cend
    where d1.stockid = d2.stockid and d2.stockid = cend.stockid
    and d2.closedprice > d1.closedprice
    and d2.createdate = cend.startdate
    and dateadd(day, 1, d1.createdate) = d2.createdate
)
select o.stockid, o.cc, o.startdate, o.enddate
from increase o where cc = (select max(cc) from increase i where i.stockid = o.stockid and i.enddate = o.enddate)

This assumes no gaps. The criteria dateadd(day, 1, d1.createdate) = d2.createdate would have to be replaced by something else that indicates whether d2 is the "next" day after d1.

A: This is the final working SQL as per my needs. Tests reveal it is working correctly. I am using method for CC from @Oran
WITH StockRow (stockId, [close], createdDate, rowNum)

     SELECT stockId,         [close],                   createdDate,

Byron York column: Is Joe Biden weaker today than Hillary Clinton was in 2016?
The polls show Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in the presidential race. Looking at the last 10 surveys in the RealClearPolitics average of polls matching Trump vs. Biden, Biden is leading in every one of them — by anywhere from 3 to 10 points. Biden's average lead, in those 10 polls, is 5.5 points.
The results echo polls from this point in 2016, when the general election matchup was Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. Taking 10 polls from this time in the last campaign, Clinton led in every one of them— by anywhere from 6 to 18 points. Her average lead in those polls was 10.5 points.
There's not much of a lesson in all those numbers, except to say that polls in April do not predict how an election will turn out in November. But they do say that President Trump, running for reelection in 2020, is a bit better off competitively at this moment than candidate Trump was at the same time in 2016.
Based on the 2016 experience, the most passionate Trump supporters are fond of dismissing all polls as skewed, biased, fake. But polls do represent a snapshot in time. And April before a November election is a time in which voters use polls to express general opinions on events and personalities without the pressure of actually having to choose Candidate A over Candidate B. Today's polls reflect a different frame of mind than polls taken while voting is actually underway. At that time, as the saying goes, the stuff gets real.
So if the polls are a snapshot, then why is Biden's lead today smaller than Clinton's was at a comparable time in the last campaign?
Some might point to the coronavirus crisis and the tendency of voters to rally around a leader against a common threat. President Trump's job approval rating has indeed gone up during the crisis. It currently stands at 47.0% approve, 49.8% disapprove, in the RealClearPolitics average. Before the virus crisis, Trump had never, in his entire presidency, risen above 46.0% approval. In other words, his rating was never very high. That is part of Trump's unique relationship with the electorate; his approval has never skyrocketed for any reason, but it has also never sunk to the floor. In the last few days, the rating has been ticking down a bit, but it will likely stay among the highest of Trump's presidency, at least for a while.
Biden's lead over Trump has been fairly stable — somewhere in the 4 to 6 point range — since last December. Before that, in the late fall of 2019, it rose as high as 10 points. But it has been in the same place since before the coronavirus crisis began and does not seem to have been affected by the outbreak.
Others might point to the continued candidacy of Bernie Sanders as a reason for Biden's relative weakness. The Vermont senator is indeed still in the race, ignoring calls to drop out. But he is far behind Biden — 22.7 points behind in the RCP average.
At this time in 2016, Hillary Clinton had a much bigger Sanders problem than Biden does today. After having a substantial lead over Sanders in March 2016, Clinton's margin shrank to a single point in April. Then, as now, Sanders refused to get out of the race; he finally surrendered in July.
So the Bernie factor is probably not the explanation. But perhaps there are other factors that explain Biden's relatively weaker position compared to Clinton 2016. For one thing, Biden is running against an incumbent president, which is harder to do. In 2016 Clinton and Trump were pursuing an open seat.
Or there could just be something about Biden that voters are not particularly thrilled about. It might be persistent doubts about his physical stamina to hold the world's most demanding job starting at age 78. Or a feeling related to that, that Biden, who first entered the Senate in 1973 — nearly a half-century ago — is a man of the past.
Whatever the case, it appears voters have mixed feelings about electing Biden president. In a recent Washington Post poll, 74% of respondents who supported Biden said they were enthusiastic about it, while 86% of Trump supporters expressed enthusiasm.
Of course, the Trump candidacy has its own problems. Even before coronavirus hit, the president's time in office has been a roller coaster that has left some voters enraged, some disappointed, and others simply exhausted. But a sitting president has a lot of advantages in the race for reelection. A challenger has to be particularly strong to overcome them. It's not clear that Biden has that strength.

have hard road to playoffs
[2/10/02]Vicksburg and Warren Central have their work cut out for them to make it to the playoffs.
Playing in one of the toughest divisions in the state, WC and VHS begin the Division 4-5A tournament on Tuesday at Vicksburg High.
"I think Natchez has got to be the favorite, and me and Clinton are right there," VHS coach Dellie Robinson said. "Those teams have beaten some great teams, and we've been playing real well. If we come in ready to play, we can get to the championship game and anything can happen."
Only the top two teams from the division tournament advance to the playoffs.
Natchez's boys, ranked No. 10 with a 24-3 record, hold the top spot on the boys' side and will match up with Warren Central (12-16) at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The Bulldogs won the three previous meetings this season, each by double digits.
"There is no pressure on us," said WC coach Preston Wilson, whose team lost three times to Natchez this year. "We're going to go out, be loose and play a good, hard ballgame. Hopefully, we'll put ourselves in a position where we have a chance to win."
Vicksburg (23-8), which split with Clinton this year, will tackle the second-seeded Arrows (21-8) at 8:30 Tuesday night.
Vicksburg lost at Clinton by 16, but won a thriller in overtime at VHS. Clinton received the No. 2 seed because its victory over VHS was by more than the loss.
"It's going to be a tremendous game between us and Clinton. Whoever executes down the stretch is going to win," Robinson said. "We match up real well with Clinton … I think we match up better with Clinton than with Natchez. If I had a choice, I would take Clinton over Natchez."
On the girls' side, second-seeded Warren Central (24-7) takes on Clinton (21-7) at 4 p.m. The Lady Vikes beat Clinton convincingly on Tuesday, but the Lady Arrows were playing without Louisiana Tech-bound LaToya George, who missed the game because of a school suspension.
"We're practicing with every anticipation that (George) will play," WC coach Donny Fuller said. "If she doesn't play, I'll tell you this, I will be high-fivin' everybody on the bench."
Warren Central's seniors have never lost at Vicksburg High. This year, the Lady Vikes won the Coca-Cola Classic title over Callaway, then beat Port Gibson there after the game was moved because of a leaky roof at WC, and knocked off Vicksburg.
The Missy Gators (16-16) square off against top-seeded Natchez (24-4), a team that beat Vicksburg twice this year, at 7 p.m.
"We've learned that we're going to have to do a lot of things differently, because nothing we did the first two times worked," Coleman said, adding that the Missy Gators' homecourt advantage will help some. "I definitely feel more comfortable on my home court than having to go there to play."
The winners of the first-round games will play again on Friday night with the girls' title game at 6 p.m. and the boys to follow at 7:30.
The winner of the division tournament hosts the second place team from Division 3-5A, which includes Murrah, Callaway, Greenville-Weston and Madison Central. The loser of Friday night's championship game will travel to the 3-5A winner.
Fuller has even more at stake. With a division title and a satellite game win, the Lady Vikes are slated to host the North State championship series, if Greenville does not reach North State.
Horn Lake, Clinton and Meridian are the top three choices to host North State boys.
"If we can get that far, we have a shot," Fuller said. "I told (WC principal Mac Douglas) that on the schedule, there is a musical program on the Friday night of North State.
"I don't know if it will be a problem or not, but I hope it is."
Vicksburg's boys were the lone team to make it out of division a season ago, losing to Columbus in the satellite game.

What is the dream about dream caps and interpretations of basic values?
The value of hats in a dream by various authoritative dream books
A hat is an important item of clothing in the northern and middle latitudes. For a long time, a man with his head uncovered was perceived extremely frivolously.
A cap, cap, baseball cap, hat, bowler hat, earflap, treuh — a headdress form can tell a lot about the owner. In a dream hat can play a crucial role.
Consider what a hat in a dream means and what it dreams about in the dream books.
Basic Values
The main meaning of the cap is the head, the personality of the person. Derivatives follow from this meaning — to throw in the dirt — to be humiliated, to trample — to wriggle, to demonstrate fury, it burns on a thief — the one who is guilty will reveal himself.
Losing in a dream means losing your head in the literal or figurative sense — from love or success to lose the ability to reason sensibly and control actions. The second meaning is cunning, if you dropped the headdress in a dream on purpose, aware of the possible loss. In this case, you are planning to pretend that you have lost all consideration in order to confuse the envious and zaverbetnikov.
Wear a new hat, measure hats — you will find new friends and a curious society. Perhaps try yourself in a new role. Trying on someone else's is unjust to judge a person, trying to try yourself on his role, believing that you would have coped with the tasks much better. Make your own life and solve your problems. Do not solve other people's problems in the vague hope that someone will answer yours.
New headgear on the head — to a possible change of leadership.
Acquire a new hat — try to follow the thoughts of others.
The form of a headdress issues a claim for the estate and occupation
A high hat — a person who wears a similar headdress in your sleep, is unsure of himself, but at the same time has a great opinion about himself. The domineering and intolerable character, the tendency to intimidation and senseless threats have created a protective cocoon, people try not to stand aside and not associate with a brawler who perceives such behavior as cowardice, and inflamed even more.
The official cap, field cap with the coat of arms, cockade, other symbolism — a man in the service, a symbol of power, military, police. The identity of such a person is less important than its function.
Bulk fur demonstrates an important position in society. Fur out should demonstrate a powerful thought process. But the demonstration is usually used in an ironic way — a person who considers himself very intelligent and important.
Small knitted cap — secrecy, isolation from the outside world. The volume hood lowered over the face has the same meaning.
Chef's cap. You would like to become the god of the kitchen, give orders to the army of cooks and cooks, prepare delicious dishes.
Hat from Hogwarts in a dream — you would like to be born in the wizarding world and, preferably, a wizard. Eliminating the injustice of this world and fighting evil, waving a magic wand — that would be wonderful. Unfortunately, in the real world, things are not so simple, but sometimes it's nice to dream.
A fancy hat, a comic fan cap — for ostentatious militancy, jokes, fun, coarse sensual humor in the company of like-minded people.
If the hat is old, worn — this is a good sign. You are confident and long occupied your position. For example, a wiped earflap of the most unpresentable type in a dream always means a huge profit.
New hat gives uncertainty, you are not familiar with the new role. Ragged — fears that you can not cope, the role is already outdated and has lost relevance. Holes and tears mean doubts.
If there are only holes left from the cap, the strings have come off, it will not protect from the rain — your data is outdated and you understand it. A luxurious hat, a torn lined top hat betrays a crook. Torn lining with a presentable appearance — you are trying to give what you want for the real, to deceive others.
Interpretations of authorities
Dream Vanga claims that the way you treat your hat, shows your attitude to yourself. Headgear demonstrates what kind of attitude from others you are waiting for. Little black hat — would you like to look like a secretive and elusive superman? Big Fur — you are applying for the role of an intellectual and a sophisticated beauty. Funny childish, with ears, horns — you doubt your belonging to society and prefer to look different, not like everyone else. Intricate mating — a claim to a particular train of thought, a creative mindset.
A female dream book interprets a new hat as a new promising acquaintance. Measure, choose — to look closely to the people around them. Wear someone else's — gossip. Throw hats — to give impracticable and humorous promises, fooling.
Dream interpretation Velez interprets the hat in a dream, as the charges on the road. The trip promises to be brief and successful. Feathers on the hat — bragging, boasting. If the hat is hunting or in a dream you are going fishing, your bikes and hunting stories will be a success.
The dream book of the Wanderer regards a hat with earflaps as a sign of good profit. New knitted — you may change your views on a number of important issues.
A cap in a dream betrays your deepest hopes for the idea of your own person. Headgear is how you would like to see yourself.
Actions with a cap are fears and concerns. Losing, stomping, choosing — all this means that you are not quite sure of yourself and that your position in your own eyes looks dubious.
Sleep has a positive meaning as a warning. Draw conclusions and avoid unpleasant situations.

Q: Does EL support overloaded methods? I upgraded my Java EE web application to use newer PrimeFaces version and suddenly the call of an overloaded bean method in an action attribute of PrimeFaces commandlink did not work anymore. I tried to use JSF default commandlink to test it and this one did not work either.
The method signatures are as follows:
public void updateA(B b);
public void updateA(A a);

It always tried to cast A to B.
More curious, how could it work before the upgrade?

A: EL does not support it, no. It'll always be the first method of the Class#getMethods() array whose name (and amount of arguments) matches the EL method call. Whether it returns the same method everytime or not depends on the JVM make/version used. Perhaps you made a Java SE upgrade in the meanwhile as well. The javadoc even says this:

The elements in the array returned are not sorted and are not in any particular order.

You should not rely on unspecified behaviour. Give them a different name.

A: The way you can get around this is to create a generic method and do the 'routing' inside that method. I know that this might not be ideal, but you end up with less configurations in functions and XHTML pages.
if (A.class.isInstance(obj)) {
    A o = (A) obj;
    return method(o, highRes);
} else if (B.class.isInstance(obj)) {
    B o = (B) obj;
    return method(o, highRes);
} else if (C.class.isInstance(obj)) {
    C o = (C) obj;
    return method(o, highRes);
} else {
    throw new FacesException("Unsupported Conversion: " + obj);
}


Naked driver pulled over twice to speak to women in the morning of June 9 near 188 and 68 Ave.
Jun. 13, 2016 5:00 p.m.
Surrey RCMP is asking the public to be on the lookout for a male exposing himself to adult women in the Clayton Heights area.
On Thursday, June 9, the man exposed himself two different times within 20 minutes. The first indecent act took place at 9 a.m. at 185 Street and 68 Avenue, and the second incident followed at 9:20 a.m. at 188 Street and 68 Avenue.
In both incidents, the suspect was naked inside his truck, drove up next to an adult woman to ask for directions, and then drove away without assaulting or threatening the victim, said police.
RCMP investigators have interviewed both victims and plan to canvass the area for other potential witnesses or video surveillance.
The suspect is described as a dark skinned man in his 30s with very short or shaved black hair.
The truck is described as a newer model light brown Ford pickup without a canopy.
"If you've seen this truck or suspect, investigators want to talk to you right away," says Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann.
In March, a man exposed himself to students at Clayton Secondary and a few days later at a nearby alley at 190 St. and and 70 Ave. He was described as Caucasian, 30 to 40 years of age.


Fluorescent lighting is flawed. LEDs can be misused.
Commercial lighting largely relies on inefficient, costly fluorescent bulbs or the ineffective use of multiple LEDs. Light is spilled and wasted in all directions. The blanket of bright light can strain people's eyes, causing avoidable discomfort.
"I'm not interested in lights that last for seven years. I'm interested in lights that last a lifetime. We knew there had to be a far better way to use LED technology and maximise its potential."
LEDs can last a lifetime. But they're not cool enough.
Lighting technology typically means LEDs can't last as long as they're able to. Not cooling them properly leads to overheating, which damages brightness and longevity. Using multiple, smaller LEDs isn't the answer either. Quantity doesn't make for quality.
Finding coolness, from the inside out.
We started with the LED itself rather than its output. Like any semiconductor, LEDs need properly cooling to optimise their performance. So we reapplied the cooling technology used in satellites in the 1960s, and the heat sinks used ubiquitously to cool fridges and computers.
Heat pipe technology effectively dissipates heat.
Getting heat away from the LEDs quickly, was key. Heat pipes use a small amount of water to spread heat. We used just a single drop in each vacuum-sealed copper tube. Copper worked best because it conducts heat so well, while the vacuum reduces the water's boiling point.
Continuous evaporation and condensation keeps the LEDs cool.
The difference in pressure in the vacuum means the vapour evaporates and moves along the tube. When it cools via 37 aluminium fins, it condenses, before being drawn back to the LEDs via capillary action along a copper wick. The cycle then repeats in a continuous loop.
Custom-engineered lens. For precise up-light.
The efficient distribution of light also required the right optics. It's why we custom design, test and manufacture them all in-house. Through rigorous design, analysis, and prototyping, including minute changes to geometry and texture, the lenses we developed get the best from the LED.


I think I've talked about this on the vlog before and I know I've discussed it on the podcast, but the first writing I ever did as a wee lad was fan fiction.
There is a game called Warhammer. It's a tabletop battle game with little miniatures that you assemble and paint and then play huge battles with massive armies, it's very fun.
I was super into Warhammer and the sci-fi version, Warhammer 40,000, and what drew me to the game wasn't just the game itself but the story world that surrounded the game.
I got so obssessed with this world that I started writing stories in it, and in high school I wrote about a quarter of a million words of Warhammer fan fiction.
Flash forward to today and I'm making a meager living writing my own novels in my own worlds. What strange turns life takes us on.
But interestingly enough, in recent years there has been a new kind of "fan fiction" emerging—something so next level and so impressive that you almost don't want to call it fan fiction.
Take, for example, the James Potter series. Never heard of it? It's about James Potter, the son of Harry Potter, and it's a series of free ebooks available on Goodreads. It consistently sits near the top of the most downloaded Goodreads ebooks of all time.
How about The Hunt for Gollum? Never heard of that either? It's a forty-minute-long free fan film about Aragorn and Gandalf's search for Gollum before the events of the Lord of the Rings films. It has more than 11 million views, and it's a legit film.
One upcoming fan project I'm super excited about is Star Trek: Axanar, a film set in the Star Trek universe and starring a bunch of big actors.
My friend Matt Hunt is an associate producer on the project, and he took me to the Comikaze booth and introduced me around to the people involved with Axanar. (BTW, meeting Richard Hatch, omigod, EEEEE).
Before going up on Kickstarter, the team behind the film made a 20 minute short called "Prelude to Axanar" that just looks GORGEOUS. As good as anything produced by Hollywood. Then they did a Kickstarter campaign to raise $100,000 to make a feature film. But in the end, they only raised, oh…more than $600,000.
So that film will be going into production and, yeah. We're going to get a legit Star Trek film—except not made by Hollywood studios, but by small indie filmmakers who just LOVE that world.
So again, it feels weird even calling these "Fan Fiction," because these are legit productions created within the worlds of popular, almost legendary stories that are part of our cultural core.
Now the one big thing about all of these projects is that the creators aren't allowed to earn money off them, because so much of the material is trademarked or copyrighted. That's why many times these projects come out of Kickstarter or another crowdfunding platform.
But that's not always the case. Amazon has actually created a program called Kindle Worlds that many big authors have joined in on. Basically, in the story universes signed up for the program, you can write fan fiction and sell it on Amazon. A third of the money goes to you, a third of the money goes to the original creator of the world you're writing in, and a third of it goes to Amazon. Because Amazon can never have enough money.
I just think it's really, really amazing that we all live in a world where fans can enable creators to tell stories in worlds we already know and love. I mean, who wouldn't want to read another Harry Potter book? Or see another Lord of the Rings film? Or watch another Star Trek movie?
"Fan fiction" has graduated. In its infancy, it was easy to write off as just the hectic scribblings of some obsessed fan with way too much time on their hands. But now it's a legitimate and important part of the creative world we live in. And I think that's awesome.
Maybe I should start writing some more of those Warhammer stories.
Thanks for watching, Rebels. Tomorrow there's a big announcement! I hope you'll stay tuned for that and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already.
I will see you tomorrow. Maybe. Byyye.

Home Music Alexander Hawkins: Song Singular
Alexander Hawkins: Song Singular
When Alexander Hawkins played in wonderful concert with Louis Moholo, it was often the drummer, who upped the ante, leading the pianist onto a higher plane, raising the intensity and the depth of emotion; throwing down a challenging the pianist to follow, a challenge the pianist was quick to follow. On his solo project Song Singular, Mr. Hawkins and his piano are propelled into deep space and the pianist alone decides what is to follow. Mr. Hawkins is usually calm when he sits at the piano, but the piano is an unusual and grand instrument and a virtuoso pianist such as Alexander Hawkins is capable of manipulating it in many more ways that it might seem humanly possible. Working from the premise that you "treat it well and it will respond to you," Mr. Hamilton both caresses his instrument and cajoles it; he treats it as if he would his lover and it responds as if it were his lover too. His touch is complex and it is informed by superior dynamics. Even in the depths of time and space he is therefore able to sound as if one instrument is thus symphonic.
Mr. Hamilton has supple fingers and his mind controls hands that advise those fingers accordingly. Often the fingers are light and the sound of the notes is like the ripples in a limpid pool. But these same fingers can be slightly more rigid and firm and the notes in spectacular runs can sound a lot more authoritative. Mr. Hawkins' left hand is another matter altogether. It leaps off the keyboard every so often; then it emphatically pounds a set of keys before skittering off the ebony and ivories. Mr. Hawkins leaps off the piano stool as well. It is these and other gestures—a bow as if in a Shinto temple, followed by gentle rocking back and forth—that inform an expressionistic style that is both lucid and dramatic. All of this stirring dramaturgy, of course, informs the music on this record. And it is truly spectacular—all of it. AT opposite ends of the dynamics, employing speed and a studied silence are "The Way We Dance It Here" and "Stillness from 34,000 ft."
Another interesting aspect of the music is that it combines the familiar chromatics with the elongated lines that are so characteristic of the inventiveness of music that comes from the unbridled ingenuity of the musician. In "Joists, Distilled" there is the nagging awareness of music that comes from standards and classic repertoire, but this falls away as soon as things seem to get comfortable. Of course, "Take the A Train" is easier to relate to, but then again this music is also loosened by the pianist and is dropped like a gantry swinging free into an ocean of sound so vast that only a distant and muffled version of Duke Ellington's original song remains. And suddenly the song is no longer about the clickity-clack of the A Train, but of a spaceship falling delightfully away after ridding itself of its restrictive anchor. The sound of surprise? Perhaps even the Duke would have had to acknowledge that few could have put it better and yet keep it in song. This album has much more to say for itself all of which is meaningful, majestic and utterly memorable.
Track List:The Way We Dance It Here; Early Then M.A.; Joists, Distilled; Stillness from 34,000 ft.; Two Dormant, One Active; Hope Step the Lava Flow; Take the A Train; Distances Between Points; Advice; Unknown Baobabs (Seen in the Distance).

About Alexander Hawkins
Alexander Hawkins is a composer, pianist, organist, and bandleader who is 'unlike anything else in modern creative music' (Ni Kantu) and whose recent work has reached a 'dazzling new apex' (Downbeat). Self-taught, he works in a vast array of creative contexts. His own highly distinctive soundworld is forged through the search to reconcile both his love of free improvisation and profound fascination with composition and structure.
In 2012, was chosen as a member of the first edition of the London Symphony Orchestra's 'Soundhub' scheme for young composers. He also received a major BBC commission in late 2012 for a fifty minute composition: One Tree Found was first performed in February 2013, and first broadcast in March 2013; and subsequently performed and rerecorded for the WDR in Germany in early 2014. Of the work, The Arts Desk wrote that 'it's difficult to think of an experimental, contemporary piece more suffused with the ecstasy of musical revelation.' He was also commissioned as part of the celebrations for the 21st edition of the London Jazz Festival. His writing for his own regular groups has been said to represent 'a fundamental reassertion of composition within improvised music' (Point of Departure).
Hawkins main vehicles as leader or co-leader are his Ensemble, The Convergence Quartet, and Decoy. One review of the Ensemble's debut record, No Now Is So (FMR Records), wrote of 'such absolute joy and strength…an incredible record' (Clifford Allen, Bagatellen). The album featured heavily in top ten albums of 2009 lists on both sides of the Atlantic. The group's second album, all there, ever out, has been said to mark them out as one of the 'most vividly distinctive [groups] in modern jazz' (The Jazzmann). Step Wide, Step Deep, released in late 2013, represents the latest chapter in the group's development.
The Convergence Quartet features American Taylor Ho Bynum, Canadian Harris Eisenstadt, and Dominic Lash from the UK. Their three albums – Live in Oxford (FMR Records, 2007), Song/Dance (Clean Feed, 2010), and Slow and Steady (NoBusiness, 2013) – have all been enthusiastically reviewed throughout the UK, Europe, and North America, evincing 'a sustained sense of open-mouthed surprise' (BBC Music).
Decoy – a trio in which Hawkins plays Hammond Organ – 'redefine the words 'shock and awe'' (Jazzwise). The Guardian's John Fordham highlighted potential for a 'cult following'; while critic Brian Morton recently commented that '[t]he most interesting Hammond player of the last decade and more, [Hawkins] has already extended what can be done on the instrument.'
An in-demand sideman, Hawkins continues to be heard with vast array of contemporary leaders, such as Evan Parker, Joe McPhee, Marshall Allen, and Mulatu Astatke. He has also been noted in recent years for his performances in the bands of legendary South African drummer, Louis Moholo-Moholo. A duo album, Keep Your Heart Straight, was released on the Ogun label in October 2012, and has been called 'a classic in waiting' (John Eyles).
Concert appearances have taken him to club, concert and festival stages worldwide. His music has been broadcast extensively on BBC Radio, as well as in Europe and beyond. National Public Radio in the United States featured him in a 2010 '5 Young British Jazz Artists to Watch' piece, whilst he also appeared on France Musique as one of five artists representing 'la nouvelle vague du jazz anglais.' He also appears regularly both as a specialist interviewer and interviewee for the BBC.

Conor Sheary enters tonight's game seeking the second three-game goal scoring streak of his career (last: Nov. 3 to 8, 2018). Sheary has recorded six points (3+3) in his last five games and has totaled four points (3+1) in six career games against Edmonton.
STRIKING OIL
Kyle Okposo has tallied 14 points (7+7) in 13 career games against Edmonton, including multi-point efforts in four of his last seven matchups. It's his best per-game output against any NHL team.
Rasmus Ristolainen has 13 points (2+11) in 10 career games against the Oilers, including multi-point outings in four of his last five meetings with Edmonton. It's his best per-game output against any NHL team.
Jack Eichel has totaled seven points (3+4) in six career games against Edmonton.
Vladimir Sobotka has totaled nine points (3+6) in his nine meetings with the Oilers since the beginning of the 2012-13 season.
Rasmus Dahlin recorded an assist and led both teams with 12 shot attempts (including six shots on goal and a career-high 11 attempts at even strength) when these teams last met.
Buffalo enters tonight's game with a 19-9-4 (.656) record at home. The team's .656 points percentage at home tied for sixth in the NHL before Sunday's games.
Carter Hutton is 11-6-2 at home this season with a .923 save percentage and a 2.45 goals-against average.
Jeff Skinner (20+13) and Sam Reinhart (10+23) tie to lead all Sabres with 33 points in 32 home games this season.
Skinner is the first player to score 20 goals at KeyBank Center since Derek Roy had 20 in 2007-08. Thomas Vanek (30 in 2006-07) was the last player to score more than 20 at home in a season for the Sabres.
Jack Eichel (12+20 in 30 home games) is also playing above a point-per-game pace at KeyBank Center this season.
Conor Sheary has totaled 10 points (3+7) in 12 home games in 2019.
RISING IN THE RECORD BOOKS
With his goal on Saturday at Toronto, Jason Pominville tied Don Luce for 10th-most regular-season goals in Sabres history (216). He now trails Rene Robert by six goals for ninth-most all-time.
Pominville needs nine points to tie Luce for seventh-most in franchise history (526) and nine assists to tie him for seventh-most in that category (310). His 719 games played with the Sabres trail Luce by 47 for seventh-most all-time as well.
Jack Eichel and Jeff Skinner have both recorded a point on the same goal 30 times this season, making them the most productive Sabres duo since Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek combined on 39 goals in the 2011-12 season. At least one of the two has recorded a point on 97 of the team's 183 goals this season (53.0%).
JACK ATTACK
Jack Eichel has totaled 70 points this season, setting a new career-high mark. With 23 goals so far this season, he has joined Rick Martin and Thomas Vanek as the third player in franchise history to record at least 20 goals in each of his first four NHL seasons.
With 47 assists so far this season, Eichel is the first Sabres player to record at least 45 assists in a season since Tim Connolly recorded 48 in 2009-10. The last Sabre to record at least 50 assists was Jason Pominville (53) in 2007-08.
Eichel is currently on pace for 43 even-strength assists this season. Only five different players have recorded at least 45 even-strength assists since the 2005-06 season: Henrik Sedin (3x), Joe Thornton (3x), Connor McDavid (2x), Evgeni Malkin and Michael Nylander. Pat Lafontaine (52 in 1992-93) is the only player in franchise history to record at least 45 in a season.
DAH-LEAN ON ME
Entering play Sunday, Rasmus Dahlin led rookie defensemen and ranked second among all NHL rookies in points (37) and assists (29).
With 37 points (8+29) through 65 games, Dahlin is scoring at a higher rate than he did in the Swedish Hockey League last season, when he totaled 20 points (7+13) in 41 games for Frölunda.
Dahlin's current point total puts him on pace for 47 points this season. He would trail only Phil Housley (57 points in 1982-83) for the most ever recorded by an NHL defenseman before his 19th birthday.
With seven multi-point games so far this season, Dahlin has recorded more multi-point games as an 18-year-old than all but two defensemen in NHL history: Phil Housley (13) and Bobby Orr (8).
Dahlin's three game-winning goals this season are already the most ever recorded by a Sabres rookie defenseman. His total also ties for ninth-most by any Sabres rookie and eighth-most in a season by any defenseman in franchise history.
SKINNER, SKINNER, CHICKEN DINNER
Jeff Skinner has scored 36 goals this season, becoming the fifth player ever to score at least 35 in his first season with the Sabres.
His next goal will match his previous career high of 37 set in the 2016-17 season and his 38th goal would tie Gilbert Perreault (1970-71) and Ray Sheppard (1987-88) for third-most ever scored by a first-year Sabre.
Skinner's 28 even-strength goals are already the most ever recorded by player in his first year with the Sabres, breaking a record previously held by Danny Gare (26) since 1974-75.
Sam Reinhart has totaled eight points (5+3) in his last eight games.
Reinhart has already set career-high totals in points (58), assists (40) and multi-point games (17) this season.
The Sabres are 22-12-5 this season when Reinhart records at least one point and 30-5-7 (.798) in his career when he records at least two.
All three of the Sabres' top three scorers are currently on pace to shatter their previous personal bests in points on the strength of career-best production at even strength:
Player/Season GP G A PTS ES G ES A ES P
Eichel Career High (2017-18) 67 25 39 64 22 20 42
Eichel 2018-19 62 23 47 70 16 34 50
Eichel 2018-19 (Pace) 79 29 60 89 20 43 64
Reinhart Career High (2017-18) 82 25 25 50 13 16 29
Reinhart 2018-19 65 18 40 58 16 28 44
Reinhart 2018-19 (Pace) 82 23 50 73 20 35 56
Skinner Career High (2016-17) 79 37 26 63 30 18 48
Skinner 2018-19 65 36 21 57 28 14 42
Skinner 2018-19 (Pace) 82 45 26 72 35 18 53
At his current pace, Jack Eichel would finish the season tied for the seventh-most even-strength points ever recorded by a Sabre, trailing only Pat LaFontaine (83) and Alexander Mogilny (78) in 1992-93, Gilbert Perreault in 1975-76 (70), 1979-80 (68) and 1977-78 (65), and Daniel Briere in 2006-07 (65).
Eichel is one point off the pace to become the first Sabres player to record at least 90 points since Daniel Briere (95) in 2006-07. At his current pace, he would trail only LaFontaine's franchise-record 52 even-strength assists in 1992-93.
Jeff Skinner is on pace to become the first Sabres player to score at least 40 goals since Thomas Vanek (40) in 2008-09 and would have the highest total since Alexander Mogilny scored 76 in 1992-93. He would become just the 11th different player in Sabres history to score at least 40 in a season.
SCORING WHEN IT COUNTS
Jeff Skinner's seven game-winning goals tied for third-most in the NHL this season entering play Sunday. He is the first Sabres player with at least seven game-winners in a season since Derek Roy (9) in 2008-09 and is four shy of matching the single-season franchise record of 11 shared by Danny Gare (1979-80) and Alexander Mogilny (1992-93).
Skinner was also tied for third in the league with three overtime goals this season. Skinner's total matches the Sabres' single-season record shared by Daniel Briere (2006-07) and Derek Roy (2009-10) and ties him for 10th-most career overtime goals in franchise history.

SABRES at OILERS
This is the first of two meetings between the Sabres and Oilers this season.
Last meeting: Buffalo defeated Edmonton 5-0 in Edmonton on Jan. 23, 2018
The Sabres are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games vs. the Oilers; 6-3-1 on the road.
The Sabres are 11-23-3 on the road against the Oilers all-time.
THIS DAY IN SABRES HISTORY
The Sabres are 8-9-3 all-time on January 14.
January 14, 1972: The Sabres acquire Jim Lorentz from the New York Rangers in exchange for a second-round pick in the 1972 draft.
January 14, 2003: Ryan Miller stops all 22 Minnesota shots to earn a 1-0 victory and his first career shutout.
After losing all four games against the Oilers in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons, the Sabres have swept the four games between the teams in the last two seasons.
With a win tonight, the Sabres will have defeated the Oilers in five straight meetings for the first time since Buffalo won each of the six matchups between the teams from Jan. 16, 2006 to Jan. 3, 2012.
Sam Reinhart has already set career-high totals in assists (32) and multi-point games (13) this season. The Sabres are 17-7-4 this season when he records at least one point and 28-4-6 (.816) in his career when he records at least two.
Tonight's game is the beginning of a three-game road trip through Western Canada for the Sabres.
Buffalo is 9-2-1 against the Pacific Division this season, including wins in each of their last five games against the division.
A win tonight would give the Sabres six straight wins against Pacific Division opponents in the same season for the first time since 1997-98.
Kyle Okposo has tallied 14 points (7+7) in 12 career games against Edmonton, including multi-point efforts in four of his last six matchups. It's his best per-game output against any NHL team.
Rasmus Ristolainen has 12 points (2+10) in nine career games against the Oilers, including multi-point outings in each of his last four meetings with Edmonton. It's his best per-game output against any NHL team.
Jack Eichel has totaled seven points (3+4) in five career games against Edmonton, including five (2+3) in two road games.
Sam Reinhart has five points (1+4) in six career games against the Oilers, including four (1+3) in three road games.
Vladimir Sobotka has totaled eight points (3+5) in his eight meetings with Edmonton since the beginning of the 2012-13 season.
Tage Thompson scored his first career goal in his only previous meeting with the Oilers on Dec. 21, 2017.
HEY NOW, YOU'RE AN ALL-STAR
Jeff Skinner led all Atlantic Division candidates in fan votes during the NHL's "Last Men In" vote to earn a spot on the Atlantic Division All-Star Team. He will make his second All-Star Game appearance and first since his Calder Trophy-winning season in 2010.
Skinner will join Jack Eichel, also making his second career All-Star Game appearance, as the first pair of Sabres to appear in an All-Star Game together since the team had three representatives (Daniel Briere, Brian Campbell and Ryan Miller) in 2007.
Jeff Skinner's goal on Friday at Carolina gave him 30 goals for the fourth time in his career. He became the first Sabres player to score 30 goals in a season since Jason Pominville did so in 2011-12.
Skinner's 44 games needed to reach the 30-goal mark tied him with Rick Martin in 1971-72 as the sixth-fastest Sabre to score 30. He trailed only Alexander Mogilny (30 GP in 1992-93), Pat LaFontaine (31 GP in 1991-92 and 42 GP in 1992-93), Gilbert Perreault (40 GP in 1977-78) and Rick Martin (41 GP in 1973-74).
COMEBACK KIDS
The Sabres are 6-12-2 this season when trailing after two periods. Their six wins when trailing after 40 minutes tied for second-most in the league entering play Sunday and their .300 win percentage in those games ranked fourth.
Buffalo's six wins when trailing after two have already surpassed last season's total and leave the team three third-period comebacks shy of the franchise record of nine set in the 2005-06 season.
Entering play Sunday, Jeff Skinner's seven game-winning goals tied for the most in the NHL this season. He is the first Sabres player with at least seven game-winners in a season since Derek Roy (9) in 2008-09 and is four shy of matching the single-season franchise record of 11 shared by Danny Gare (1979-80) and Alexander Mogilny (1992-93).
Skinner also entered play Sunday tied for third in the league with three overtime goals this season. Skinner's total matches the Sabres' single-season record shared by Daniel Briere (2006-07) and Derek Roy (2009-10) and ties him for 10th-most career overtime goals in franchise history.
Entering play Sunday, Rasmus Dahlin led rookie defensemen and ranked third among all NHL rookies with 24 points (4+20) this season.
With his 20th point in his 37th game on Dec. 22 vs. Anaheim, he became the fourth-fastest 18-year-old defenseman in NHL history to reach the 20-point mark, trailing only Phil Housley (28 GP), Ray Bourque (30 GP) and Aaron Ekblad (34 GP).
With his 20th assist on Saturday vs. Tampa Bay, Dahlin tied Ray Bourque for sixth-most assists by an 18-year-old defenseman in NHL history.
Dahlin's totals put him on pace for 44 points this season. It would trail only Phil Housley (57 points in 1982-83) for the most ever recorded by a defenseman before his 19th birthday.
All three of the Sabres' top three scorers are currently on pace to shatter their personal bests in points on the strength of career-best production at even strength that ranks them each among the best even-strength players in the league this season:
Reinhart 2018-19 45 10 32 42 9 22 31
If the Sabres' top scorers continue their current pace, the team would have three 75-point players for the first time since 1992-93 (Pat LaFontaine, Alexander Mogilny, Dale Hawerchuk).
At his current pace, Jack Eichel would finish the season with the fourth-most even-strength points ever recorded by a Sabre, trailing only LaFontaine (83) and Mogilny (78) in 1992-93, and Gilbert Perreault in 1975-76 (70). He would trail only LaFontaine's franchise-record 52 even-strength assists that season and would become the first Sabre to record more than 90 points since Daniel Briere in 2006-07 (95).
Jeff Skinner is currently on pace for the third-most goals in Sabres history, trailing only Mogilny in 1992-93 (76) and Danny Gare in 1979-80 (56) for. His 42 even-strength goals would finish behind only Mogilny's even-strength total from 1992-93 (49) and Rick Martin's 44 in 1973-74 for third-most in team history.
