I just landed in Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport on a SWISS flight from Zürich. The only benefit in choosing SWISS over Air France for this journey is that they operate out of Terminal 1 – which is the same terminal Malaysia Airlines uses.
Location: Hall 5, in the basement of Terminal 1.
Counters: Dedicated Malaysia Airlines counters, with a separate counter for First Class passengers.
Online check-in is not available for this flight because the trip was not booked via the Malaysia Airlines website. And using the Malaysia App only works if you are a member of their frequent flyer programme. So upon arrival from Zürich I head landside and then three floors down to the Malaysia Airlines counters to check-in for my flight. I have hand luggage only. The agent issues my boarding passes for Kuala Lumpur and beyond, hands me an invitation to the lounge and wishes me a good flight.
Finding your way around Roissy 1 is not easy. Being a circle, you would think the place would be easy enough to navigate. But perhaps precisely because the building is round it can be quite challenging to find your bearings.
Location: The lounge is located in the main building, before you cross over to the satellite.
Type of Lounge: ICARE Aéroports de Paris contractor lounge.
Facilities: A small bar area, there are no toilet facilities in the lounge.
Internet: Available, no password required.
The ICARE lounge leaves much to be desired. It is not a First Class lounge, just a very generic, old-fashioned and tired looking facility. There are even a few old Lufthansa seats. But it serves its purpose and the wifi connection is good enough for me to upload the first part of this trip report, covering my somewhat disappointing flight with SWISS from Zürich to Paris.
Priority Boarding: Yes and enforced.
Departure for the flight is scheduled for 12:00. The gate opens at 10:30 and boarding starts at 11:15. The A 380 is a big girl. As a result, it takes three gates to board the aircraft. Gate 48 on the far left is for Economy Class passengers on the main deck. Gate 47 is for First Class passengers and status card holders, while gate 46 is for Business Class passengers and Economy Class passengers seated on the upper deck.
Seat: Malaysia Airlines has its First Class cabin on the lower deck. There are eight seats on two rows. The seat is large and plush and offers a lot of privacy. Perhaps the seat's most striking feature is the huge amount of stowage space for small items in the sides. In addition, every seat has its own closet with three hangars. And there is enough space under the ottoman to stow one piece of carry on luggage. For passengers travelling with bulky items, there is also a separate, large locker at the front of the First Class cabin.
The seat has warm colours – red and brown – which give the cabin a very welcoming and cosy look and feel. All in all, the seat is very comfortable, also when extended into a bed.
Facilities: USB port and power supply (115 volt).
Audio and Video: 23 inch monitor with audio and video on demand.
Admittedly, the toilets on Malaysia's A 380 are nowhere near as fancy and large as the ones Lufthansa has installed in First Class on the A 380. But they are large enough for an averagely sized adult male, okay me, to change comfortably. The toilet is stocked with Aigner cosmetics, including different eau de toilette for men and women.
There are four cabin crew working the First Class cabin – one female and three males. The purser comes to introduce himself and shakes my hand, which I think is a very nice gesture. The crew are all very charming, friendly and chatty. Their English is really excellent, which already struck me the last time I flew with Malaysia Airlines from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong last year.
Decently sized slippers (I wear a size 46 shoe).
A decent size vanity kit containing Bulgari cosmetics (Essence de Thé Blanc), a dental kit with Colgate toothbrush, tooth past and mouthwash, socks and eye shades. There are no earplugs in the kit. Shaving sets, more tooth brushes and combs are available in the toilet.
The flight attendant informs me that she will bring the earphones after take-off, once the IFE starts working.
We take off in a westerly direction. I know I say this every time, but the A 380 really is amazing. Despite its size the aircraft accelerates rapidly down the runway, even though the flight is pretty full today. During the take-off roll the noise from the engines is so quiet that I can even hear a baby crying somewhere on the upper deck!
Welcome drink on the ground: Orange juice.
Hot towel before the meal: Yes.
Pre-meal drink: Mineral water and a half glass of Dom Pérignon 2004, which I took more out of curiosity than anything else.
Choice: Three starters and main courses.
Delivery: À la carte service.
Amuse Bouche – Duck magret and melon balls skewer.
Starter – Charcoal hand grilled beef and chicken satay with peanut sauce and accompaniments.
Caviar – Served with smoked salmon and asparagus, blinis, chopped onion, parley, crème fraîche and lemon.
Soup – Cream of potato with marinated chicken and crispy onion.
Mixed salad – I skipped that one.
Main course – Chicken Biryani with rice and vegetable pickles.
Dessert – Fresh fruit, crunchy coffee pastry.
Bread basket – a selection of warm garlic bread and rolls.
The meal starts immediately once the fasten seatbelt sign has been turned off. The pace of the service is excellent, there are no long waits but there is enough time between the courses for the meal not to be rushed. The crew are very attentive, making sure that glasses are regularly replenished.
After the meal I have a short nap. The flight attendant sees me settling in and brings me a larger, more comfortable and fluffy pillow and a thick blanket. However, he does not suggest making up my bed. So to be honest, I am not entirely sure if Malaysia even do a turn down service like SWISS or British Airways for example.
I spend the rest of the flight in the cosiness of the warm cabin, lying under my blanket reading. Around halfway into the flight, roughly somewhere north of Karachi, I start to feel peckish again. I think it is time for another dose of protein and carbs. So I order the noodles in a vegetable-based soup with shredded chicken, prawns, bean curd, fish balls and Asian greens from the snack menu. The soup is served with a healthy dose of chilli and crispy onions. And to finish off the meal I have two freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
Wake up drink: Orange juice.
Juice – fresh orange juice.
Fresh fruits – melon, grapefruit, grapes, papaya, pineapple.
Bread – individual basket with assorted rolls, served with strawberry jam and marmalade.
Hot meal – Nasi Lemak – rice cooked in coconut milk and served with fresh ginger, prawn sambal, with traditional accompaniments (dried fish, peanuts, cucumber, boiled egg).
Hot drink – Teh Tarik (milky sweet tea).
The second service starts about 90 minutes out of KL. Slowly the lights go on and I am brought a glass of fresh orange juice and a hot towel. Once more the service is swift and well paced. The food is very tasty, especially the Nasi Lemak is very fragrant and quite spicy.
Our arrival and approach into KL is quite spectacular. Below us there are thick clouds with frequent flashes of lightning. It is a spectacular backdrop as we descend through thick layers of cloud towards our destination. And then we land.
All in all I enjoyed this Malaysia Airlines First Class experience, although it was a bit of a mixed bag. The hardware – the seat – is certainly very nice, in fact it is one of my favourites. However, as far as the service and the food is concerned, both looked and felt a lot more like a Business Class flight, and not even an exceptionally good one. It is the little details that can make a huge difference. And this is where I thought Malaysia was lacking, particularly compared to the competition.

MultiPlier 600 2006
Gerber MultiPlier 600 Review 2006
Written by	David Bowen
Gerber Legendary Blades has been making multitools for what seems like forever, they seem to be about as old as Leatherman themselves. Before Gerber was owned by Fiskars they had released their first tool and it has definitely changed over the years. The first version had no locking system (much like the LM PST) and was simple in nature. Time progressed and locks were added as well as some small changes in tool design, but the 600 stays true to its roots as a testament to what kind of tool that Gerber tools were made of. The 600 can be seen as a classic or a retro tool; it reminds us of the multitools of our past. Sure Gerber has new tools like the Freehand, Recoil and the Diesel etc. And the 600 gets a lot of trash because it's being compared to the current designs on the market. I mean; come on…how many of you remember when the PST had 3 different screwdriver blades…..all the same, did we complain then?
So instead of the 600 being like the little kid on the playground being picked on by a big bully; this review is more like homage to a time when tools were in their youth and lots more was to be learned from the tool manufacturers.
It doesn't matter what Gerber tool you look at, even the new ones, and the one thing that Gerber has set as their trademark (very much like SOG's Compound Leverage) is their patented one-hand opening pliers. Using a simple yet innovative design; Gerber plier heads slide on a track built into the handles of the tool allowing the plier head to retract into the handle in the closed position. With a flick of the wrist the plier head slides on the track and snaps into position using two spring loaded locking pins on either side of the head. Gerber has been using this tried and true design for years and like they say; if it ain't broke don't fix it. The only problem with the design is that because the plier head has to smoothly slide open and close, the plier pivots rattle and there is a little give in the joints. I personally have no problem with the design failing because of this "style" but who know what some other people put this tools through.
Another tried and true design feature on the 600 is the locking mechanism and non-clumping feature of the tools. Gerber's SAF-T PLUS locking system is a simple flat bar that holds a tool open or closed in a groove made in the tool and even though it's plastic on the outside it's very durable and secure. Gerber also uses small washers that have small tabs on them that keep the tools separate from each other and combined with the spring in the lock makes for non-clumping spring loaded goodness.
The tools themselves haven't changed much; the Phillips is short and stubby but works real well on #1 and #2 screws sizes and coupled with Gerber's bit extender you can reach those hard to reach spots and even use specialty bits like torx and Roberson. Like the PST we have 3 identical screwdrivers, each one just a different size, except one does double as a bottle opener. The file has a cross hatch design on one side and a single grain on the other, great for whether you want to remove a little metal or a lot
The blades themselves work wonderfully, the straight blade cuts real well with decent edge retention for a tool of its age and the serrated sheepsfoot blade really excels in cutting of various materials I have used it on. The only tool, if you want to call it that….that I feel is a waste of space (no not the 3 screwdrivers) was the retractable/locking lanyard ring. Nice idea, but a lanyard ring really should be on the outside of the tool rather than on the inside using up space. I personally would have loved to see one screwdriver and the lanyard ring removed and a decent pair of folding fiskar scissors in there to round out the package.
Some people either love or hate the old Gerber tools, and it truly is more of a love for the history and the nostalgia I receive from using this tool. It's by no means a contender with my Leatherman Charge or even the Gerber Freehand but for sake of it being a dinosaur it's a decent contender and something both loved and loathed by collectors alike. Heck it's more innovative than my first too; the Gerber Multi-Lite. Here's to Gerber and this guts to continue to make tools and to continue to innovate on the tools that started the generation. We all may not like "MADE IN CHINA" but I respect the past.

Tool bit extender
Decent knife blades
3 flathead screwdrivers?
Retractable lanyard ring
Loose hinges (plier head)

Last year my son had a Halloween party for preschool that included a pot luck lunch. I brought a cheese, cracker and summer sausage tray to share. Since I had a mini pumpkin cutter I decided to make the platter a little more festive by cutting the cheese into pumpkin shapes. They were a hit with the kids. And don't worry, none of the cheese scraps when to waste. My kiddos where happy to snack on them that night.
What do you do to make Halloween fun at your house?
That is a great idea. The protein helps offset all the sweets. I often do pigs-in-a-blanket.
Do you mean a mini pumpkin cookie cutter? Or a cutter as in a scrapbook paper cutter? If the later, then was it a worry for it be used on cheese?
Jenny- it was a cookie cutter.


RAPAPORT... Seiko Watch Corporation seeks the immediate payment of $500,000 for watches sent to Whitehall Jewelers in June. In a 17-page suit filed with U.S. Bankruptcy court against Whitehall yesterday, Seiko took great exception with the jeweler for having withheld its financial condition from the watchmaker before merchandise was ordered and sent.
Seiko contended that it learned of Whitehall's financial situation through public record and was "fraudulently induced to transfer the merchandise" to Whitehall in two shipments 14 days before the jeweler filed for Chapter 11 on June 23, 2008.
The watchmaker seeks a total judgment of $500,110.97.

I've been riding the bus to and from work for over five months, and I've seen a lot of people come and go. Over the past month, I occasionally see a single mother with three small children, two boys and a girl, get on board.
Sometimes I see them in the morning, and other times its the evening. Most of the time, the mother is stressed out and snaps at the kids. One day, she didn't have enough money to cover her bus fare, and the driver graciously let her have a ride.
I saw them this morning, and heard one of the boys, not older than four years, say something to the mother that just tore at my core.
My dad hasn't got a court date yet. When is he going to get one?
I don't know the full context of the father's plight, but I suspect it's because he's run afoul of the law. Four years is too young of an age for someone to learn about the ways of the criminal justice system.
Almost all kids go through a phase where it seems that just about every aspect of a parent's conduct is grounds for embarrassment. Most of the time it's all perception. It's my hope that I never give my daughters a real excuse to be ashamed of me.

How Can Labs Tackle Utilization of High-Volume, Low-Cost Tests?
Many organizations have found success in controlling physician access to expensive sendout tests. However, high-volume, inexpensive tests can have a greater effect on patient safety and satisfaction. Researchers have found that physicians often order routine tests simply out of habit—but it can be a hard habit to break.
How Long Will Microarrays Reign as the Preferred Method?
Karyotyping for nearly 50 years has been the mainstay of prenatal diagnostics for congenital anomalies, but new research has demonstrated that microarrays have a higher diagnostic yield. Even as microarrays are being adopted in practice, however, noninvasive testing modalities are poised to dominate the prenatal testing market.
Laboratories are under increased pressure to implement quality systems for testing, but may be perplexed about how to set a quality goal for each test. Using the concept of total analytic error, laboratory professionals can develop useful metrics to both assess assay quality and set quality goals.
The first results are starting to emerge from AACC's Pediatric Reference Range Project, an initiative that will help define normal values in healthy newborns and children enrolled in the National Children's Study.
At the 2013 AACC Annual Meeting, the LabsAreVital program announced that it has relaunched efforts to promote the importance of laboratory medicine.

Odd Job Man Ton-Pentre Mid Glamorgan: For a good number of homeowners there will be times when there will be odd jobs that want doing in the property in Ton-Pentre, that are beyond the skills of the standard DIYer. Even though you may have the ability to do the work yourself, perhaps you don't have the spare time, you might not own the necessary tools and equipment or perhaps you just can't be bothered to carry out the task. This is a scenario where tracking down a local Ton-Pentre odd job man is a good idea so as to get the work completed effectively and quickly. Although you will find there are plenty of Ton-Pentre odd job men/women to choose from, make sure you get somebody you can trust to do a decent job and who you can hire again for future assignments.
You will be pleasantly surprised at just how many different jobs your local Ton-Pentre odd job man can tackle on your behalf. It won't just be the commonplace odd jobs for instance fitting a shelf, tidying up your garden or assembling some flat pack furniture, he might also be perfectly able to tackle far more difficult work like fitting cupboards under your stairs, fixing together some garden decking or updating your kitchen unit doors. Needless to say, this will depend on the skills of the odd job man you've decided on, therefore ensure that you match your odd job man with the specific job that you need doing. And always bear in mind that as soon as you've discovered a decent odd job man in Ton-Pentre, you'll probably be calling on him for more jobs as time goes on.
1. Define exactly what your project is. First of all, make a comprehensive list of the jobs that need doing. Those smaller jobs like hanging pictures, repairing a fence, putting up shelves or assembling flat pack furniture, are the ones best suited to an odd job man. If you have electrical work, plumbing or gas fitting to be done, it would be advisable for your to call in a skilled Ton-Pentre tradesman.
2. Do not employ the first odd job man you find. Speak to a minimum of three Ton-Pentre odd job men and where possible check any online reviews that are available. Enquire about how long they have been in business and where do their specialities lie. Ask for references they have got from householders they've previously worked for. Establish that any potential odd job man has the confidence, skills and experience to do the job.
3. Ask for photographs. Most odd job men will have a portfolio of photos, ask to see it. Looking at photographs of their work will give you a better idea of their capabilities. If they have a website or Facebook page, check it out for pictures and customer comments.
4. Beware of scammers. Don't consider employing an odd job man who contacts you out of the blue without invitation. Any odd job man asking for payment upfront should also be avoided. Asking for payment upfront is a definate no-no and any odd job man in Ton-Pentre asking for this should not be trusted.
5. Get it in writing. Make sure they give you a written agreement including a payment schedule, complete details of the project and itemized costs. Be clear and unambiguous regarding when the work should start and finish. Getting everything you have agreed in writing is essential.
6. Get the work guaranteed. Giving a guarantee for one year is something that certain Ton-Pentre odd job men will be happy to do. Having or not having a guarantee in writing, may affect your decision when hiring an odd job man in Ton-Pentre.
7. Inspect everything. Prior to paying the odd job man for the project, inspect everything he/she has done. Satisfy yourself that everything has been done correctly and that you are happy with the result. Get the odd job man to explain everything that has been done, they will want to make sure you are happy with the work.

Q: Rounding numbers to two decimal places in Java I need to round numbers to two decimal places:
1.1245 → 1.13
1.1235 → 1.12
I have spent the last two days scouring StackOverflow, and I have been unable to get any solution I have found to work at all:

*

*What rounding method should you use in Java for money?

*Rounding BigDecimal to always have two decimal places

*Using DecimalFormat
They all seem to simply truncate the number at the third decimal place, then round it from there, which is not what I am trying to do. I am trying to start at the place furthest to the right, and then begin rounding appropriately; 5-9 goes up, 0-4 has no effect and is dropped.
Here is the current code I am working with:
BigDecimal a = new BigDecimal("1.1245");
double b = Math.round(a.doubleValue() * 100) / 100;

System.out.print(a.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_EVEN) + " : "
+ a.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP) + " : "
+ b);

And here is the output straight from the console:

The problem here is that I am expecting 1.13 to be the result in all of the above cases, as though the following process is followed:
1.1245 → 1.125 → 1.13
1.1235 → 1.124 → 1.12

A: I think you should double check your spec, because the requirement is uncommon. Anyway, I think this does what you (seem to) need:
public BigDecimal round(BigDecimal n, int scale) {
    if (n.scale() > scale) {
        return round(n.setScale(n.scale() - 1, RoundingMode.HALF_UP), scale);
    } else {
        return n.setScale(scale, RoundingMode.UNNECESSARY);
    }
}

A: I would test the distance with the standard rounding, then adjust and round again :
    for (String string : new String[] {"1.1245", "1.1244", "1.1235", "1.1249", "1.1299"}) {
        BigDecimal a = new BigDecimal(string);

        if (a.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP).subtract(a).compareTo(new BigDecimal("-0.0044")) < 0)  {
            System.out.println(string + ":" + a.add(new BigDecimal("0.001")).setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP));
        } else {
            System.out.println(string + ":" + a.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP));
        }
    }

Result:
1.1245:1.13
1.1244:1.12
1.1235:1.12
1.1249:1.13
1.1299:1.13

A: public static double Rnd(double d)
{
    d *= 100;
    d += .5;
    d = (int)d;
    d /= 100;
    return d;
}

This is the best way I have learned for rounding, as the two 100s can be adjusted to round to different places

Football Public School Top 20 Countdown: No. 7, Ramapo
The Raiders check in at No. 7 in NorthJersey.com's preseason football Top 20.
Football Public School Top 20 Countdown: No. 7, Ramapo The Raiders check in at No. 7 in NorthJersey.com's preseason football Top 20. Check out this story on northjersey.com: https://njersy.co/2xzVjSX
NorthJersey Published 6:41 p.m. ET Aug. 25, 2017

Ramapo head coach Drew Gibbs and the Raiders are No. 7 in NorthJersey.com's pre-season Top 20 football rankings.(Photo: Danielle Parhizkaran/NorthJersey.com file)
Coach: Drew Gibbs, 17th year
Last year's record: 7-4
Last year's ranking: No. 10
Rearview Mirror: After losing its first two games of the season, Ramapo won six consecutive games. That streak was snapped with a loss to NV/Old Tappan, which ultimately made it to the North 1, Group 3 final. The Raiders' season ended in the sectional semifinals with a 35-21 loss to eventual champion River Dell.
COMPLETE RANKINGS: Top 20 countdown
Looking ahead: The Raiders lost some key pieces from last season's team, including QB Tom Jaten, whose production will be tough to replace. Jaten threw for 2,275 yards and 27 TDs in 2016. Ramapo also lost leading receivers in Jake Scordato and Dan Diaz. That being said, the Raiders have a talented core returning on both sides of the ball, beginning with senior RB Shane Brancaleone, who rushed for 505 yards and five scores last season. Senior WR Michael Graff (354 yards, 3 TDs) and junior WR Noah Baker (306 yards, two TDs) are also back.
Bold prediction: Ramapo will win the NJSFC Patriot Plue Division and advance to at least the North 1, Group 3 semifinals.

SilverTip GelMagic is a toughened, non-sagging, two component, structural epoxy adhesive designed for superior bonding to wood and most porous materials. It is unique in that it starts as two self-leveling liquids, which form a soft, thixotropic, sag-resistant paste when mixed. Measuring is easily accomplished by either volume or weight. GelMagic requires no additional modification with fillers and can be applied to vertical and overhead surfaces without running, eliminating the mess and waste associated with other epoxies. GelMagic exhibits exceptionally high peel strength and employs a state of the art, two-phase epoxy morphology, which creates an adhesive bond that is tougher, more resistant to embrittlement and has better elevated temperature properties than other room temperature cured epoxy adhesives. GelMagic can be post-cured up to 140°F for even greater performance. Two hardeners are available: Regular and Slow (for extra-long working time).
Specifically designed for optimum adhesive properties. Not a general-purpose resin made for coating and then modified with filler to act as an adhesive. When fully cured, it is unaffected by water, oil, kerosene, and many other chemicals. It will not stain wood and is immune to fungus and rot. GelMagic is ideal for stitch-and-glue, plywood, strip built and glued lap strake construction. Also use GelMagic as a high strength, gap filling, waterproof adhesive for general woodworking and architectural applications.
Mixed at a 2 to 1 by volume ratio, GelMagic will cure at temperatures as low as 35°F. Two color component system aids in determining a complete mix. Mixes to a pre-thickened, non-sagging state. No fillers needed.

Paula Wolfert's "Unforgettable" Duck You Can Eat With A Spoon
Posted on May 3, 2017 by foodgal 9 comments
With crisp skin and flesh so tender you can cut it with a spoon, this duck by Paula Wolfert is a masterpiece.
She is not a star of the Food Network. She doesn't own a four-star restaurant that has a three-month wait for reservations. And she doesn't write pithy food articles laced with expletives and bro-talk that everyone feels the need to read, dissect, and re-post again and again.
But Paula Wolfert should be as revered and renowned as any of those folks. More so, even.
She is one of the most influential cooks of our time — a woman who has dived deep into authentic Mediterranean cuisine long before most of us ever knew what a cassoulet or tagine was.
Over the years, she published eight seminal cookbooks. But when her friend, Emily Kaiser Thelin, a former editor of Food & Wine magazine, pitched the idea of writing a biography of Wolfert, no publisher would give it the green light.
So in a modern-day version of a barn-raising, Thelin rallied her friends and colleagues to the mission, recruiting photographer Eric Wolfinger, designer Toni Tajima, and cookbook author Andrea Nguyen to do editing duties. They mounted a Kickstarter campaign, which more than 1,100 folks supported, including yours truly.
The result is "Unforgettable: The Bold Flavors of Paula Wolfert's Renegade Life" (M&P) by Thelin.
The title has dual meanings — and hints at why Thelin and her team were so driven to put Wolfert's life and recipes down in perpetuity. Wolfert was diagnosed with dementia in 2013. The woman who once prided herself on studying up on almost a dozen languages in order to converse with cooks around the world, now finds most of those once familiar foreign phrases elusive. Even reading in English now and retaining its contents is difficult for her.
Wishing Everyone A Ducky New Year
Posted on December 28, 2016 by foodgal 5 comments
Make an impression in the new year with this whole, tea-smoked duck.
New Year's Eve automatically means Champagne.
Caviar, perhaps. Lots of hors d'oeuvres. Even Dungeness crab or lobster.
Why not add duck to that glam list?
There is something special and regal about presenting a whole duck, especially one that is smoked with fragrant black tea, coated in five spice, and served alongside souped-up sweet-tangy hoisin sauce.
Little pillowy steamed buns filled with morsels of the moist duck would turn this into festive finger-food. Or carve at the table, and serve alongside steamed rice or garlic noodles.

New Research Grant to Norma Velazquez Ulloa
Dr. Velazquez Ulloa
Dr. Norma Velazquez Ulloa, Assistant Professor of Biology and faculty member in the Neuroscience Program, has been awarded a New Investigator Grant by the Medical Research Foundation. This program supports promising new investigators conducting biomedical research in Oregon with one-year, $40,000 competitive grants. Dr. Velazquez Ulloa's award will support her work with two Lewis & Clark undergraduates on the research project she proposed, "Identifying genes that mediate the effects of developmental nicotine exposure."
Nicotine exposure during development negatively affects the offspring—it can interfere with the normal development of the organism, including changes to the nervous system that may have consequences on behavior later in life. Dr. Velazquez Ulloa's laboratory studies nicotine exposure during development, using Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, as a model organism. More specifically, Dr. Velazquez Ulloa and her team are engaged in identifying genes that confer resistance or sensitivity to nicotine, and characterizing the specific role(s) these genes play in mediating the effects of nicotine exposure during development. The lab uses Drosophila melanogaster because between 65 and 75% of human disease-causing genes have a similar gene in the fly; the lab has previously shown that many of the effects that nicotine has in mammals including humans, are recapitulated in flies when exposed to nicotine during development. More about Dr. Velazquez Ulloa's research is available here.
Since arriving at Lewis & Clark in 2013, Dr. Velazquez Ulloa has mentored 15 undergraduate students, three high school students and one high school teacher in research critical to understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with addiction. It is notable that this is the third successful research grant she has landed as Principal Investigator—following a three-year M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Natural Sciences research grant and two-year Partners in Science award. Further, she has served/is serving as co-PI on two other external grants: an NSF Major Research Instrumentation grant that supported the purchase of the College's confocal microscope, and a Murdock Collaborative Research Alliance Pilot Initiative grant.


Himachal fared far better than BJP-ruled Gujarat on development parameters, he said citing the report.
Rahul Gandhi accused PM Modi of speaking "selectively" on the issue of corruption.
Nahan: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi said today that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) would undergo sweeping changes to provide relief to traders, consumers and other sections hit by it, after his party comes to power at the Centre in 2019.
He also hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his charge of rampant corruption in Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh claiming that according to a NITI Aayog report, corruption levels in the hill state were way below others. Himachal fared far better than BJP-ruled Gujarat on development parameters, he said citing the report.
He also accused PM Modi of speaking "selectively" on the issue of corruption and demanded to know where the jobs that the BJP had promised were. "We will completely change the GST after coming to power in 2019 to mitigate the sufferings of the people hit by it," Rahul Gandhi said addressing poll rallies at Paonta Sahib, Chamba and Nagrota in the poll-bound hill state.
Responding to the claims of BJP leaders that the tax was passed with Congress support, he said that GST that has been implemented by the Modi government was not what was proposed by his party. "The government implemented the GST in haste with the highest tax slab of 28 per cent and a very complicated procedure of filing returns which has ruined businesses," the Congress vice president said.
He said the agitation planned by the Congress on the first anniversary of demonetisation on November 8 was aimed at highlighting the plight of small businesses, youth, women and farmers, who had suffered the most.
Taking on Prime Minister Modi over his allegations of widespread corruption in Himachal, Rahul Gandhi said that as per a NITI Aayog report, corruption level was lowest in Himachal and it was also adjudged the best in the country in education, health and cleanliness.
Comparing the data for Himachal and Gujarat, he claimed that the hill state was ahead on all parameters be it health, education, employment or any other sector.
The Congress vice president accused PM Modi of speaking selectively on issues related to corruption and alleged "he never spoke about the Vyapam scam, Lalit Modi scam or any other scam surfacing in BJP ruled states and has skipped mention of Jai Shah, or his crorepati business friends".
He blamed the prime minister for "squeezing employment opportunities" in the country and asked "where are the two crore annual jobs, promised by the BJP in 2014?".
Demonetisation and GST have not only resulted in big job losses but also destroyed the basic structure for creating job opportunities, he claimed adding that the government policies were helping only a few corporate houses.
Drawing a comparison with China, Rahul Gandhi said it gives jobs to 50,000 people every 24 hours while the PM Modi government provides employment to only 450 people which means that jobs provided by China in two days equals the jobs provided by Modi government in an year. "The prime duty of the prime minister should be job creation for the unemployed youths," he said adding that it was not being done which was a betrayal.
Questioning the prime minister on the benefits of the "painful exercise of demonetisation", Rahul Gandhi said that it was "a loot of people's hard earned money".
He said Prime Minister Modi should tell the nation where the "black money" recovered during demonetisation was.
Quoting from the speech of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi said that "there are two categories of people; first those who just believe in the working, and second who don't believe in working but are quick in claiming credit".

Q: How can a value be stored so that it's shared across an entire request in Ruby on Rails? How can a value be stored so that it's shared across an entire request (i.e. make it accessible in controllers , views and models )?

*

*Put is as a Global variable

*Create a Singleton and store it in a class variable

*Store it in a thread locally.

A: Any instance variable initialized in a controller#action will be available in the views. To use these variables in a model, you could pass them as an argument to the model method.

A: Probably you can store value in session like this session[:foo] = @foo, and you should have ability to get this value whatever you want

A: Variable set at start-up and for which the value is not supposed to change. Shared and identical for all users and all threads: use a constant.
Variable set at run-time for which the value can change. Shared and identical for all users and all threads: use class instance variable.
Variable 'private' for a user and a thread, but accessible across all rails components: use a Thread variable.

A: you can create a custom configuration variable in your initializers,
create a file say global_var.rb inside your config/initializers
inside this file declare any variable and assign it a value like
custom_var = "Hello World!"
now to use this you have to do
Rails.configuration.custom_var = custom_var , so your global_var.rb should include
custom_var = "Hello World!"
Rails.configuration.custom_var = custom_var

now you have Rails.configuration.custom_var which will output Hello World and you can use it anywhere.
but this will be initialized whenever you start your application/rails server.

A: I think the only way to have this functionality, is to have a session (or session like) store mechanism.
Having a session store will make your data available in all controllers and views, and you can pass the data as a parameter to your models.
If you don't want to have that kind of data in your session, you can store a hashed uid in the session and make a look up in an additional store (such as redis). eg:
uid = session[:uid]
data_1 = Redis.handler_get_data_1_by_id(uid)

which will give you:

*

*flexibility (you can add extra data to a user or whatever you identifier is)

*security (your data are on your system only and by having a hashed_id different sessions can't access each others data)

*performance (as redis' performance is similar to a memcache)

Will Uber drivers benefit from the biggest stock exchange debut in years?

Top executives, early venture capitalists and board members stand to reap benefits from their stakes in Uber, the decade-old ride-sharing giant that went public on Thursday.
But ahead of Uber's debut on the New York Stock Exchange, drivers across the world went on a strike to demand better working conditions.
The question that begs to be asked, therefore, is: will Uber drivers, the main cogs in the wheel of the company valued at €92 billion, benefit from the biggest initial public offering (IPO) in years?
The answer depends on whom you ask.
Uber says its long-time drivers — 1.1 million of 3.9 million workers who have completed at least 2,500 trips before April 7 including at least one ride in 2019 — will be eligible for "driver appreciation rewards".
The bonuses will depend on the number of rides completed by a driver. They will range from $100 (€88.95) for drivers who have completed 2,500 trips to $40,000 (€35,578) for drivers who have completed 40,000 trips. Drivers can keep the cash or use the money to purchase stocks in Uber at the IPO price.
Early last month, Uber also revealed plans to offer a one-time payout, by the end of April, to more than one million drivers, for a total around $300 (€266) million.
Trade unions have said that this amounted to a paltry sum, sometimes even as low as $70 (€62). Some drivers did not receive the payout, unions have said.
Drivers set to lose more, say experts
Uber has long treated its drivers as independent contractors in a "gig economy". This means its workers do not get the employment rights that are guaranteed to employees in more traditional jobs, such as a minimum wage, sick leave, health insurance and so on.
While companies like Uber argue that it gives flexibility to drivers, critics say these practices lead to exploitation.
Driver dissatisfaction has been high and is now likely to get worse. Uber has admitted so in its IPO prospectus. "In particular, as we aim to reduce Driver incentives to improve our financial performance, we expect Driver dissatisfaction will generally increase," the company said in its IPO filing.
James Farrar, chair of the United Private Hire Drivers branch of the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain, while speaking to EuroNews, said that the early venture capitalists in Silicon Valley are going to make an "absolute fortune" on the Uber IPO.
"The drivers and the communities will certainly not benefit. Currently, drivers earn £5 an hour while the minimum wage is £8.20 in the UL. Their earnings are likely to dip further, added Farrar.
"The business model of Uber has been the immediacy and availability of networking. But what has happened is it has oversupplied the marketplace," said Farrar.
He said that a study conducted by the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission last year showed that 85% of drivers were earning below minimum wage and 42% of the time was wasted, causing congestion.
"And the drivers are obviously not paid for their wasted time," said Farrar, who added that "fringe benefits" such as payouts and stocks were an eyewash. "These benefits do not help if Uber does not pay the drivers what they are owed legally."
While Uber needs drivers at the wheel for the time being, it imagines a future with automated cars that would eliminate the need of human drivers.
Uber, however, maintains that drivers remain at the heart of their service.
"We can't succeed without them – and thousands of people come into work at Uber every day focused on how to make their experience better, on and off the road. Whether it's being able to track your earnings or stronger insurance protections, we'll continue working to improve the experience for and with drivers," a spokesperson for Uber said recently.
Uber's rocky road in Europe
While Uber is available in over 70 countries and 600 cities, its entry in Europe has been fraught with problems.
It first launched in Paris in December 2011 but has been met with protests in the city since.
Several European countries, including Hungary and Bulgaria, have banned the app. Some specific services of the company like UberPop and UberX have been banned in cities in France, Germany, Finland and the Netherlands. Problems emerged on the basis of regulation because these services allow unlicensed drivers to pick up passengers in their own cars, causing licenced taxi drivers to protest.
In July 2017, the European Court of Justice ruled that any European country could legally ban UberPop without having to notify the European Union.
In 2015, Farrar launched an ambitious legal strike in England along with co-claimant Yaseen Aslam, to prove that Uber drivers were workers who deserved employment rights. They won the case at the employment tribunal, but Uber has challenged it in the Supreme Court.
Early last month, the European Parliament approved new minimum rights for workers in the gig economy, which would apply to companies like Uber. The new rules will apply to those who work a minimum of three hours per week and 12 hours per month on average. These rules are applicable to casual or short-term workers, including trainees and apprentices.
In Europe, it's not just regulatory laws that have not let Uber take off as it has in the United States. Over the years, other ride-sharing companies have taken hold in different European countries.
How does Uber compare with other high-valued IPOs?
Uber may be the biggest IPO in years, but raising about €7.2 billion when it went public, barely comes close to the biggest IPO Alibaba, which raised a staggering €22.27 billion. It also pales in comparison to the next biggest IPO, the Agricultural Bank of China, which raised €17.09 billion, General Motors which raised about €17.8 billion, and others like Facebook and Deutsche Telekom.

Israel's seemingly contradictory attitude toward separating religion and state.
Naftali Bennett
On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, two bits of seemingly contradictory news emerged from the Jewish State.
On the one hand, a new poll shows that 61 percent of Israeli Jews favor separating religion and state, a hefty nine percent rise over last year. Eighty-three percent of those with an opinion said Israel should grant its citizens freedom of religion and conscience, and 62 percent think any kind of wedding, religious or civil, should be recognized by state authorities (currently, unless held overseas, only wedding ceremonies conducted by Orthodox rabbis are). Perhaps the most remarkable (and telling) figure is this: 51 percent of those surveyed said that the relationship between Israel's ultra-Orthodox and secular Jews "is the most difficult conflict in the Israeli society," with right-left political tensions coming in at a distant second (23 percent).
On the other hand, we have this:
The government on Sunday gave the go-ahead to the Religious Services Ministry to establish the "Jewish Identity Administration," an ambitious new initiative meant to foster a stronger connection to national Jewish heritage among Israelis.
The new, 5-million-shekel ($1.4-million) initiative was one of Habayit Hayehudi Chairman Naftali Bennett's demands for joining the government coalition.
That is, even as Israel's Jews are becoming more comfortable with the notion of letting folks decide for themselves just what being a Jew means, Israel's government is investing what little money it has in teaching Israelis how to be Jews.
But of course, these things are not so much contradictory as joined at the hip.
The Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox have always held a monopoly on official Jewish expression in Israel—how to get married, how to get buried, and which rabbis are paid from state coffers—but for the most part, when faced with a monolith that didn't offer meaning to the average secular Israeli life, secular Israelis have accepted the rabbinate's power as something beyond their ken. You brush elbows with the black hats when you get married, and bemoan your cousin's decision to become religious and join them, but other than that, hadati'im hardly touch your life.
Or so it would seem, but in recent years, secular Israelis have gotten something of a crash course in just how much the Orthodox do, in fact, touch the lives of all Israeli Jews, because those in positions of power have either tried to extend that power, or have impinged on the rights of the non-Orthodox with impunity.
Suddenly, the papers were full of stories about little girls facing a barrage of spittle on their way to school; contretemps over where non-Jewish soldiers may be buried in military cemeteries; images of women literally forced to the back of the bus—not to mention the growing ultra-Orthodox population, and associated increase in government budgets allotted to support a community that doesn't serve in the military, or, indeed, have almost anything to do with the rest of Israel.
Secular Israel—the Israel that looks to Europe and America for its cultural clues, the Israel that can read the siddur but doesn't know what it says—might not like to think about it, but the undue power and unremitting mutual hostility are actually a result of political decisions that it signed off on, from the state's earliest days. When Israel was first established, most of the pioneers believed that ultra-Orthodox expressions of faith would go the way of the dinosaur, and that handing out special privileges for political gain didn't pose any threat.
Sixty-five years later, though, with Israel's religious right going from strength to political strength and nationalist Orthodoxy at the heart of both the military and state leadership, the tension has become more and more apparent, in no small part because nationalist Orthodox politicians like Naftali Bennett continue to make efforts to codify an ever-narrower definition of who may count themselves a member of the Jewish national home.
Under the circumstances, I'm not surprised that a growing number of Israelis (secular and otherwise) would like to see a little more daylight between the Orthodox religious establishment and the daily lives of the country's Jewish citizens.
But they, in turn, had better not be surprised that Bennett wants to teach them a thing or two—if Israelis really want freedom of conscience, they may have to fight for it.

Rosh Hashanah + general madness.
Syrian refugees – actually a lot more than two million.
Darth Thulhu
It's extra weird as a non-Islamic religious minority in Israel. The Bahá'ís have their World Centre in Israel, and have markedly more freedom to practice their religion than they do in any of the surrounding countries …
… but it is flat-out illegal to proselytize, teach, or voluntarily convert to the Faith within Israel's borders, and has been since the nation's founding.
The dichotomy is seriously weird. "Look at all these pretty buildings! See all these nice pilgrims! What? You want to talk about why they're here? Um, let's book a cruise to Cyprus first …"
Weirder and weirder are the ways of the world.

Grenfell Inquiry: Terms of Reference announced
The Terms of Reference into the Grenfell Inquiry were published yesterday to a mixed reaction. It is broader than expected in some senses in that it will look at the emergency and the Government/Council's response to the disaster, but to the disappointment of others it will not look at the policy and politics surrounding social housing and the level of investment in recent years.
All content on this page is correct as of August 16, 2017

Partner and Head of Public & Regulatory
Email Melanie
The wording of the Terms of Reference is to examine the circumstances surrounding the fire including:
The immediate cause or causes of the fire and the means by which it spread to the whole of the building;
The design and construction of the building and the decisions relating to its modification, refurbishment and management;
The scope and adequacy of building regulations, fire regulations and other legislation, guidance and industry practice relating to the design, construction, equipping and management of high-rise residential buildings;
Whether such regulations, legislation, guidance and industry practice were complied with in the case of Grenfell Tower and the fire safety measures adopted in relation to it;
The arrangements made by the local authority or other responsible bodies for receiving and acting upon information either obtained from local residents or available from other sources (including information derived from fires in other buildings) relating to the risk of fire at Grenfell Tower, and the action taken in response to such information;
The fire prevention and fire safety measures in place at the time
The response of the London Fire Brigade to the fire; and
The response of central and local government in the days immediately following the fire.
This involved the publication of a consultation document which received 554 written responses and takes into account the fire itself, the history of the building, its most recent refurbishment, the state of building and fire regulations and aspects of the relationship between the residents of the tower and the local authority. The introduction outlines that written responses strongly argued for the Inquiry to have a broad scope and to include examination of social housing policy and whether the response by local and central government was and is sufficient. However, social housing policy will not be dealt with by the Inquiry and the document also states that 'there is no consistent view about what should be the subject of an initial report'.
There is concern among campaign groups that the Terms are not wide enough, and some groups (eg Justice4Grenfell) consider social housing policy to be a central issue. The Shadow Housing Secretary, John Healey also criticised this omission.
Sir Martin Moore-Bick, the judge chairing the Inquiry, has already announced that there will be an interim report issued on a quicker timeline than the full Inquiry. There are questions now however around how the Inquiry should run alongside any criminal prosecution and whether it would need to be delayed to give this priority.
If you would like to speak to anyone in our Inquiry team at Bates Wells Braithwaite for further details or comment, please do contact either Melanie Carter, Partner at [email protected] or Claire Whittle, Senior Associate at [email protected] or call 0207 551 7777.

The 37th annual Marine Corps Marathon will be held on Sunday, October 28, 2012. Amateur radio has traditionally supported the foot race with radio operators positioned all along the 26 mile course and at key medical facilities staffed by Navy medical.
In addition those certified Arlington RACES personnel have supported Arlington Fire/EMS by being the link between these first responders and the radio operators on the course. If you wish to be a part of this major Washington event you need to apply through an on-line website (http://www.ncacdc.com/).
After you have signed up you will be verified and considered a "volunteer" for purposes of assignment. You are encouraged to participate in this worthwhile activity which benefits our community and provides us with a live exercise opportunity in message traffic handling. You can apply generally and receive an assignment commensurate with your background, training and equipment.
For those of you who are RACES certified you may indicate in the COMMENT box on the on-line form that you wish to be part of Arlington RACES/Arlington Fire/EMS. The hams who are heading up the MCM planning group have been working since at least June to pull together all the various aspects of the communications plan.
The net control station (NCS) will again be located on the grounds of the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, DC. It's a beautiful park-like elevated location in Washington and actually looks down on the U. S. Capitol dome. And its line of sight location to just about everywhere on the race course means NCS can get a signal out to the hams on the course, even SIMPLEX if necessary.
But the fly in the oinment is that some operators, ignoring advice, report for duty with an HT and the rubber duck antenna that came with the radio. Frequently this just isn't enough to insure reliable communications with NCS if you are trying to access a repeater in Rockville or Tysons Corner. So a word to the wise, generally – if you are going to be involved in emergency communications you need a plan that includes a gain antenna and a transmitter that has more than 5 watts. I think this is going to be stressed this year for the MCM.
In the latest planning meeting there was an interesting discussion on when the event ended. Did it end when the last runner crossed the finish line?
Or since the MCM now officially includes a post-race street festival with medical facilities does emergency communications support end when the Navy closes the last of those facilities. Stay tuned. The race course has been slightly altered from last year in that the runners proceed around a different side of the Pentagon. This entails shifting some mile markers 100' or more. So if you were on the course last year and can visualize where a particular mile marker was, you will have to update your mental image.
This year's All Hands meeting will be October 20th in Rockville, MD where the most current information will be shared, handouts distributed and questions answered. Hope to see you for the race.
