On Tuesday, March 26, the Bargaining Team of United Faculty of Florida (University of Florida chapter) met with representatives of the UF Board of Trustees to open negotiations on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The current three-year agreement will expire on December 31, 2019.
Stronger tenure protections for tenure-line faculty.
Dr. Keegan concluded his statement by announcing the Bargaining Team's intention to modify the following articles of the CBA: 3, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 28, 30, 32, 33, and 35, as well as Appendices A, B, E, and F. The BOT team then offered their own list of articles to negotiate, which includes articles: 4, 5, 8, 9, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21.
The BOT team announced, moreover, that it could not discuss salary or pay until the state legislative session concludes in May. And, more distressingly, the team revealed that it would not be prepared to discuss family leave until the fall. Despite signing a Memorandum of Understanding in December 2016 agreeing to "establish a task force to develop a comprehensive leave policy for the campus," the Board of Trustees team still has no meaningful policy proposal in hand.
The session closed with the UFF and BOT teams tentatively scheduling future bargaining sessions on April 2 (2:00 -3:30pm / 210 Pugh Hall); April 16 (2:30-4pm / 150 Pugh Hall); April 23 (2:30-4pm / 112 Library West); and April 30 (2:30-4pm / P.K. Yonge). Both teams agreed to introduce modest changes to the CBA during the April 2 session.

The Bargaining Team of the United Faculty of Florida (University of Florida chapter) met for the second time with representatives of the UF Board of Trustees (BOT) on Tuesday, April 2. Both parties had previously agreed to discuss modest, uncontroversial changes to the Collective Bargaining Agreement during the April 2 session.
Some of the BOT's proposed changes did, in fact, represent modest changes to the CBA. In addition of updating university terminology and correcting stray typos, the BOT team proposed welcome language outlining the university's commitment to hiring faculty from historically marginalized groups [proposed change to Article 12.1 (a)]. They also offered a proposal to prevent the university from stringing along visiting professors on an endless series of one-year appointments [proposed change to Article 12.4 (i) (1)-(3)].
Nevertheless, the bulk of their proposals represented a subtle but dramatic assault on the principle of shared governance as well as the union's institutional independence.
The most threatening of the BOT's proposals took aim at departments' ability to choose their own faculty. Ostensibly intended to lighten the load of UF's overtaxed search committees, the BOT's proposal would require that only one-half of a search committee's members come from the college conducting the search [proposed change to Article 12.2 (c)].
This proposal departs dramatically from the current requirement that three-fourth of a search committee's members comes from the department conducting the search. If this proposal were to take effect, members of the department conducting the search could be wholly absent from their own department's search committee; and administrators from outside the department could play an even larger role in job searches than they already do.
While the UFF Bargaining Team recognizes that many of our colleagues are currently overtaxed, we're unconvinced that the current situation demands fundamental changes to the structure of job searches. After all, most of the current searches are connected to the 500 one-time job openings UF announced last year. The current rush of job searches, in other words, will likely return to a slow trickle in the near future. Faculty members, therefore, would be foolish to abandon a foundational principle of academic governance to solve a problem that will probably disappear before the new CBA takes effect.
In addition to the BOT's proposed changes to search committee composition, they also introduced tentative contract language that would require departments to vacate their existing departmental bylaws, develop new ones by the end of the upcoming contract period (2022), and revise their bylaws every three years thereafter [proposed change to Article 9.1 (d)].
Here too, the UFF Bargaining Team recognizes that the BOT's proposal respond to a real problem: many departments' bylaws are, indeed, out-of-date, ill-suited to faculty members' needs, or fail to comply with provisions of the CBA. But the UFF Bargaining Team believes that the current proposal is too inflexible and fails to respect departments' right to self-government. The UFF Bargaining Team therefore rejects the BOT's proposed changes. Instead, we argue that departments should have the ability to reauthorize their existing bylaws; and that any changes to departmental bylaws should be specifically aimed at bringing these regulations into compliance with the CBA.
In addition to their attempts to erode norms of shared governance, the BOT also proposed changes with negative implications for UFF's institutional independence. Specifically, the BOT team proposed contract changes that would strip the faculty union of its ability to finance its own release time [proposed change to Article 4.4]. Currently, the small number of union release time units that faculty members receive are paid for by the university itself. UF pays for these units because, historically, it has recognized union activity as part of a faculty member's rightful responsibilities. As such, the university provided release time to enable select members to devote their full attention to shared governance and collective bargaining.
In addition to this university-financed release time, however, the union has also retained the right to finance it own faculty release time. Retaining this union-financed release time is essential to the well-being of the United Faculty of Florida. Should the state or federal government pass legislation or enact regulations prohibiting university-financed release time, the union must have an alternative means of doing so. Retaining this right, therefore, is a matter of both principle and pragmatism: if administrators can get paid for their role in shared governance, representatives or labor must be able to do the same.
Finally, the BOT team proposed changes that would strip UFF of its right to deduct voluntary union dues from members' paychecks if such an activity were banned by state or federal law [proposed change to Article 5.8]. At first glance, this proposal looks uncontroversial. But, in fact, it's quite insidious. Under the terms of this proposal, UFF would be directly subject to state and federal law rather than Florida's Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC). This distinction matters because PERC has historically functioned as a buffer between anti-labor politicians and labor unions themselves – protecting the latter from the punitive or unconstitutional efforts of the former.
Practically speaking, then, the BOT's proposed language means that, were the state or federal government to enact legislation stripping unions of their right to deduce dues (an approach the state legislature attempted with teachers' unions in 2011), UFF would immediately lose access to members' dues – even if PERC or another judicial authority ultimately found the law unconstitutional. Intentionally or unintentionally, the BOT's proposal thus puts the faculty union in a position where state or federal legislators could instantaneously deprive our institution of its financial lifeblood.
By contrast, the UFF Bargaining Team wants contract language ensuring that UFF's right to automatically deduct members' voluntary dues remains intact until the end of the new CBA – regardless of the whims of state or federal law. Such an approach accords with accepted legal principles, which hold that new laws or regulations cannot retroactively invalidate the provisions of a collective bargaining contract.
The UFF Bargaining Team arrived at the negotiating table with its own set of proposed changes. Most of these changes were – in accordance with the UFF and BOT teams' informal agreement – largely routine. The UFF Bargaining Team, for instance, proposed several changes that would ensure faculty members or departmental administrators with uncommon titles are covered by contract language that refers to deans or department heads. The UFF team also offered up some modest changes that would make it easier for retired or emeritus faculty to access health or recreational facilities [proposed changes to 25.9 (a) (5)]. And lastly the team proposed contract language that would define the term "just cause" according to the terms of a frequently-cited court decision [proposed change to Article 27.1 (a)].
Far more consequentially, the UFF team told BOT representative that it plans to allow various contract "waivers" to expire at the end of the current CBA. The term "waivers" refers to contract passages in which the union has voluntarily "waived," or ceded to management, one or more of its legal rights.
Jettisoning these waivers serves two purposes. First, many of these waivers are bad in their own right. But, just as important, waivers are valuable bargaining chips. Several of these waivers, for instances, pertain to activities the UF administration regards as indispensable — including the ability to determine discretionary salary adjustments for administrators. By threatening to pull them, the faculty union gains useful leverage.
Allowing these waivers to expire therefore represents a win-win for the faculty union. If we succeed in eliminating them from the contract, we win a superior CBA. If not, we can at the very least make the administration "buy" these waivers back: trading contract changes favorable to UFF in exchange for retaining one or more of the existing waivers.

The Dunker also known as the Norwegian Hound is a breed of dog that originated in Norway. The name of the breed was taken from Herr Wilhelm Dunker, a Norwegian breeder who created this breed during the 19th century. Herr Dunker was able to realize his objective of creating a scent hound that will have the staying power and the speed of a sight hound with the Dunker.
The Dunker is an elegant breed not only because of the breed's unique coloring but also because of the admirable conformation that takes the sleekness of a sight hound and the rippling muscles of a scent hound. As mentioned, a Dunker has a coloring that is unique and distinctive to the breed. The coat comes in two varieties - one is the harlequin or merle which is a marbled blue color and the other is the basic tan coat that has a large saddle. The basically tan coat has a saddle that is dappled or mottled. A white blaze on the face, on the legs, tail and chest enhances the distinctive looks of this breed.
This breed that was created by crossbreeding a Harlequin Hound (Anglo-Russian Hound) with the indigenous dogs of Norway is one of the select breeds reputed to have been developed to hunt only one prey… a hare. Although considered to be a specialized hunter, the Dunker is valued for its hunting reliability. A Dunker may be medium sized but this breed is powerfully built. The appearance exudes power and great endurance. The robust conformation enables this breed to adapt to various climatic conditions and the difficult harsh terrain of Norway. This breed is still unknown outside its country of origin, in fact it is still considered a rare breed in its native land. However, those people who have come to know this breed have come to realize that apart from being a tenacious and reliable hunter, a Dunker can be an all around farm dog. This good looking breed that is noted for its speed and endurance is affectionate and has a well balanced temperament and gentle manners… qualities that makes the Dunker a most suitable home companion.
A Norwegian Hound is a medium sized dog whose powerful build give the impression of strength and endurance. The dog is robust but it does have an elegant appearance. A Dunker's noble head has no loose skin. The skull is slightly domed and the stop is well defined but not abrupt. A Dunker has a long square muzzle, a black nose with well opened nostrils and smooth, wide rounded tipped ears that hang close to the head. Expressive dark round eyes have a calm bright and serious expression. This breed has a complete dentition that meet in a scissor bite.
This dog has a level topline, a firm straight back and a broad chest with well sprung ribs. The tail that is set level with the topline is thick at the base and tapers to the end. The tail is usually carried straight with a slight upward curve.
The dog's coat is straight, dense, rough to the touch and not too short. This coat comes in two varieties. A Dunker can have a blue coat with a marbled pattern or it can have a tan or warm brown coat. Dogs with this kind of coat often have black saddles. The term for the blue marbled pattern is harlequin. This pattern is created by the merle gene. In the case of the Dunker this gene was handed down by its ancestor, the Anglo-Russian Hound that is also known as the Harlequin Hound. Very few hounds carry the harlequin color. This is because breeding two harlequins can produce deaf or blind puppies. Apart from the Dunker, Germany's Dachshund, the Irish Kerry Beagle and the Mountain Cur of America are blessed to have this eye-catching admirable coat.
The Dunker has existed for centuries. Although the Dunker is relatively unknown outside its country of origin, presently this breed of scenthound is known to be the most popular and the most used hound in Norway. Considering the fact that there are numerous breeds of hunting dogs in Norway, being voted to be the most popular must mean that this breed possess outstanding qualities that surpass what the other hunting breeds have.
As mentioned, the Dunker was primarily developed to hunt hare. This dog is most prized by hunters for its hunting reliability. This breed can adapt to harsh climate and difficult terrain. However, Norwegians have come to realize that apart from being an admirable hunter's companion, the Dunker has the potential of being a wonderful family pet. This is a kind and friendly breed, one that is good and gentle with the children. This is not a dominant breed. A Dunker will tolerate other dogs but may have the tendency to chase smaller pets given that they have a strong prey drive for smaller prey. This unwanted trait can be curbed with socialization and obedience training that must be started while the Dunker is still a puppy. This is an independent breed and as such can be quite difficult to train.
A Dunker weighs about 35 to 49 pounds, a good size for apartment living. It is not in the nature of the dog to be noisy even if left for quite a while by the master. This means that the neighbors will not be irritated by the dog's barking. Truly, this is a versatile dog. A Dunker will do well in a kennel in the same manner that it will be happy to live in a farm where it will have the great outdoors for a playground.
A Dunker may have a short coat but this type of coat protects the dog from extremely cold northern winters. Just as with any other short coated dogs, a Dunker would not need extensive maintenance. Brushing the coat or wiping the coat with a cloth would be sufficient to remove dirt and to maintain its good condition.
The Dunker is an elegant hound that is believed to have existed for centuries. This breed however, is seldom seen outside Norway, its country of origin. The name of the breed was taken from the creator of the breed. Herr Wilhelm Dunker, a Norwegian breeder has envisaged a powerfully built dog that will have the speed and the stamina of a sight hound but one that will exclusively hunt hare by scent and not be sight. In 1820, Herr Dunker supposedly crossed the Anglo-Russian Hound (also known as the Harlequin Hound) with Alarm his favorite indigenous scent hound. Alarm is a dappled dog. The progeny of the planned breeding is the Dunker.

Global Poker League: Updates and Suggestions
By Lynn "Queen of Hearts" Paris
Our readers want to know what's going on with the Global Poker League. As far as I know, the GPL is on a scheduled break for about a month, so this is a good time to bring everyone up to speed.
As a blogger who's been following and writing about the new League since before their highly professional inaugural draft in February, I've made no secret of how impressed I've been with Alexandre Dreyfus and the GPL. The innovative team concept, the use of web cams, the fan-focused experience as opposed to an experience focused on professional poker players . . . all came together incredibly well in just 14 short weeks. The GPL had half a million unique viewers, with sustained average viewing times of 17 to 21 minutes per viewer throughout the summer.
Could they have done even better? Absolutely, if they'd wanted to spend millions of dollars on television and online advertising which they obviously did not. Probably a wise decision too, since they now have "proof of concept" without exposing the whole ball of wax to the world prior to doing some very necessary tweaking. Plus they got some free marketing every time someone said or wrote: "Congratulations to Jason Mercier of the New York Rounders". You can't buy better branding than that.
It was clear from the start that there had to be a GPL TV studio in Vegas, the mecca for poker players. And, to accommodate all the GPL team members also playing in the 2016 WSOP, they needed the convenience of a TV studio in close proximity to the Rio. I admire Dreyfus and his team for taking the calculated risk to break out their signature platform, The Cube, during the Summer Series, instead of waiting for the reveal originally set for September. In fact, Dreyfus wrote on Facebook that "it was a last minute decision to bring The Cube . . . to Vegas to form the centerpiece of our 2nd TV studio."
I felt validated reading that, since at the time I had written in my blog: "No surprise, either, that he decided to break out the much-hyped, but not quite ready-for-prime-time Cube ahead of schedule." It was no surprise because it was obvious to anyone paying attention that The Cube set-up, even in its pared down version, provided the perfect contrast to the play at the WSOP: up close and personal, fast-paced, poker standing up, innovative and fun!
The players seemed to agree, saying they enjoyed the pace, the slightly intimidating electronic music and SFX — the loud beat, beat, beating of their hearts — the intensity of the heat and lights in the isolating sound-proof glass enclosure. Personally, I think they got a kick out of the jock-like activity of standing and sweating after the passivity of sitting at the poker tables in the air-conditioned Rio for hours on end.
In the meantime, we fans got the rare opportunity to enjoy the "other side" of some of the biggest names in poker – Fedor Holz, Jason Mercier, Sorel Mizzi, Jonathan Jaffe, Anatoly Filatov, Bryn Kenney, Fabrice Soulier, Randy "Nanonoko" Lew, Dan "Jungleman" Cates, Byron Kaverman, Tom Marchese, Faraz Jaka and the list goes on — as they "let it all out" against their opponent in The Cube.
Many of these matches were not only good heads-up poker but also incredibly engaging entertainment. And for a newbie like me, the expert commentary provided by Joe Stapleton and Eric Danis broadened my poker education without delving too heavily into higher level strategies like range and variance. Their poker knowledge, humor and great chemistry, along with interviews by the smart and sexy Laura "Corndog" Cornelius, made for a highly enjoyable few hours in my day.
By the way, based on comments made by Dreyfus in several interviews, I imagine that what we saw was The Cube in its most basic iteration . . . many of the bells and whistles are still to come.( I'll cover much more on the improvements I hope to see in The Cube in an upcoming blog!)
I've been trying to figure that out and according to the schedule that appears on the GPL website, inter-conference play begins again on August 16th. Unfortunately, a note on the homepage of the site also says "Thank you for joining us in the Las Vegas Summer Series – Back in September."
And that's just the tip of the iceberg for Dreyfus and team if they want to hold on to the fans they have acquired and continue to grow the way they need to. I've been saying for months that the website needs to be overhauled (design and programming) and then maintained consistently. Stories and features need to be updated regularly, a less cumbersome schedule and video archive has to be developed, the site has to load faster and it MUST be optimized for mobile. There's enough content to fill ten websites, so that's not the problem. It simply needs to be handled by developers who can deliver a high class, high-functioning professional site.
Conceptually, the GPL's vision of poker as a team sport is what sets it apart. It began with players being drafted onto a team representing a major city, and it was that team concept that was supposed to build the fan base.
Unless the mission has changed, I don't believe the GPL did enough to reinforce the team concept. If this was being marketed as a Team Sport, the logos of the teams should have always been prominent. Instead, the way in which the graphics were designed for the online matches made the team logos difficult to see. Viewers could easily see the players and the hole cards, but sadly, the team names were covered up.
And when play progressed to the Summer Series in The Cube, the players should have been wearing their team t-shirts sporting their team logo. Had the GPL been on time with their team merchandise (a costly misstep) fans of the teams could have worn their t-shirts all over Vegas, including at the heavily attended WSOP, where tons of attendees might have been tempted to purchase an LA Sunset or Las Vegas Moneymakers team shirt — free advertising! Dreyfus commented, "We also didn't connect with the WSOP fan-base as deeply as we had the potential to do." He's right; they blew it. In addition, team branding as well as GPL branding were mysteriously absent from The Cube, at least from the online audience's vantage point.
Because of the GPL, I grew to know and like some of the players personally; I feel a kind of crazy proprietary interest in many of them whenever I see them playing poker anywhere. But in the end, if I don't know what GPL team Fedor, Nano or Mercier play for, there's something wrong with the marketing plan. Bottom line: it's the team that grows the fan base and excites those who root for them with a passion, motivating them to buy team banners, t-shirts, caps. . . and ultimately bring in sponsors.
Dreyfus has promised to "amp up the adrenaline inherent in many of our matches and focus more on the players than the game." Maybe so, but if he still wants the team aspect to be the GPL's hallmark, then some good old Yankees/Red Sox, Celtics/Lakers team dynamics have to be built up as well.
I have tremendous faith in the brilliance of Alex Dreyfus and his team to make the necessary adjustments to the GPL in ways I've suggested . . . and in ways I've never even thought of. I look forward to the immediate improvements I hope will be made as they finish out this year with the league playoffs and the Season 1 Championship at Wembley Stadium in London. And I can't wait to watch what happens next year and in the years to come. I got hooked on poker because of the GPL, so I'm rooting for it to evolve into everything Dreyfus envisioned — poker "sportified" to appeal to millions of old and new-generation poker fans.
And I'll be blogging about it all as soon as the next half of their season begins in August . . . or September.

Q: Adding POIs/amenities from geometries_from_polygon or geometries_from_place to graph via graph_from_gdfs Does someone has a function handy that adds POIs retrieved with geometries_from_polygon (or geometries_from_place) as GDF to an existing graph via graph_from_gdfs?
Basically something simple like
G = ox.graph_from_place(query = "<query>", network_type='all', simplify=False, retain_all=True)
pois = ox.geometries.geometries_from_polygon(<geometry>, tags = {"amenity": [<amenity_tag>]})

> simple function that generates the nodes and edges from the pois GDF ?

G2 = ox.graph_from_gdfs(pois_nodes, pois_edges, <graph_attrs>)

> merge G and G2 ?

ox.save_graph_xml(<merged_G_and_G2>)

I think I can just iterate through the GDF and generate the nodes/edges myself, but I'm wondering if there isn't an easier/simpler way to do this, or even an existing function I'm missing?
I'm not looking into rendering that actual graph, I'm just looking for an easy way to generate a graph XML file that includes both, the street network and some POIs and I'm using OSMX to modify that data in some ways.

American Bank Online is currently offering conforming mortgage rates and jumbo mortgage rates that are very competitive with the current national average mortgage rates.
30 year conforming mortgage rates are advertised at 4.625 with 3.25 mortgage discount points. 3.25 points is rather steep but if you're not interested in paying 3.25 points, you can get a 30 year mortgage rate at 5.125 percent with 0.25 points. That rate still beats the national average of 5.17 percent.
15 year conforming mortgage rates are advertised at 4.50 percent with zero points. 4.50 percent for a 15 year loan is one of the best mortgage rates available right now. The rate also beats the current average rate of 4.54 percent.
30 year jumbo mortgage rates are advertised at 5.125 percent with 3 discount points. The jumbo rate goes up to 6.00 percent with zero mortgage points.
15 year jumbo mortgage interest rates are 4.875 percent with 3 mortgage discount points. The bank is also offering a 15 year jumbo rate of 5.875 percent with zero points.
The advertised rates are valid for counties within Lehigh Valley, PA which include the counties of Lehigh and Northampton.


Do not choose this company!
We originally picked this company because they had above average reviews and they quoted us a fair price for granite installation. During the removal process of our countertops they ripped off a large piece of sheet rock exposing our pipes behind our kitchen sink. They stated they would fix it when they came a few days later to install the granite so we were not too concerned. Also during the counter/sink removal process they claimed they turned off our water, but when the installers returned 3 days later they discovered a slow leak that had seeped into our cabinets and under our hardwood floors. No one, including the companies' contracted plumber, could give us an explanation for the leak. To make matters worse the installers did not fully fix the exposed sheet rock they had promised to fix days earlier. We contacted the company that night and sent videos and pictures of the damage. The next day after 2 pm the companies' owner (Julie) called me to basically inform me that the leak was not her companies fault and I had to file a house claim. She seemed apologetic at the time of the phone call, and stated that the company would do what they could to help because they were a family-owned company who puts their customers first. The only other time I was contacted by the company after that conversation was a few days later requesting final payment for their services. I tried to call Julie again on the phone and she never returned my phone calls, she only responded back via text. The sheet rock they ripped out had not been fully repaired and Julie text that her installers would contact us that day, they never did. Not only did we have to pay our backsplash guy extra to fix our walls, but the company also installed our cooktop crooked. After all of this we had to file a house claim totaling more than $18,000 worth of floor damage from this "mysterious" leak that no one could ever give us a clear answer of the cause. A month and a half after getting the granite installed, our house is still under construction from the floor damage and we have not heard from the company apologizing for anything. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS COMPANY! The owners seem to not care about their customers but only care about your money and if damage occurs their advice will be to file a house claim.

This 1959 Disney propaganda film touts the wonders of drones, cloud seeding, weather control, climate modification, storm steering and wireless electromagnetic manipulation of the atmosphere.
What's striking is how, apart from all of the digital technology that we have today, the technology of nearly 60 years ago doesn't seem to be much different from that of the present. One can only imagine how many developments have since been made that are either secret or actively suppressed.
Of interest is how the hurricane being actively steered away from Florida in this film appears to have been on the same path as Hurricane Irma.
What destroys any chance for a relevant discussion about Climate Change is the "Pink Elephant" of commercial and government efforts at weather modification. When I asked a prominent Climate Scientist about how they factor weather modification into their models about weather they said this data is not used. Most of the information concerning this action is proprietary from the commercial aspect and "secret" from the government perspective. You do not have to be a conspiracist to search for Weather Modification companies and read some of the offers and capabilities to easily see this is going on and on a global scale.
Time for "Science" to step-up and admit the limits in their data and demand that these efforts be haulted until further examination is concluded-especially since tampering with the weather intentionally ANYWHERE affects us all! Also, the parameters of the discussion should be shifted back to separate the poblem of "pollution" and "climate change". Lumping the two together was a masterful example of propaganda and linguistic manipulation. By constantly arguing the validity of "Climate Change" science (which is sketchy for the reason I mentioned), it allows the problem of pollution to continue.
1959???????? HOW'D THEY KNOW SO MUCH BACK THEN….????
It's more like how are we so dumbed-down that we don't know all of what is happening with weather manipulation now. It's probably a matter of national security.
Do you think the hurricanes, if artificial, are linked to the economy in some way. I mean repairing the damage will create some spending wont it.
If this video was made during the 50's…Just imagine WHAT they made of "Weather Control" since then?!…In "Secrecy" of course.
All those so-called secret "Sattelight" launches over the last decades since then make you kinda wonder…don't IT???
Aaah!…I bet the folks in the "Secret Space Program" KNOW all about this Huh?

Dr. Leroy Hood
Dr. Leroy Hood is the President and co-founder of the Institute for Systems Biology. Known as the father of systems biology, Dr. Hood is one of the most renowned scientists alive today, with over 700 publications, 36 patents, and 17 honorary degrees. He has pioneered the fields of genomics, proteomics, and immunology, but his background in science precedes his professional career. Dr. Hood's scientific interests were cultivated in high school, where he excelled in science and math and won the Westinghouse Prize (now Intel Science and Engineering Fair). He attended the California Institute of Technology, where he studied biology, and attended Johns Hopkins University to earn a medical degree. He returned to Caltech for his PhD and began his career as an immunologist and cancer biologist.
Dr. Hood's best-known contribution to biotechnology was the invention of four devices that revolutionized medicine forever: the DNA and protein sequencers and synthesizers. These devices paved the way for the Human Genome Project and allowed for the development of the "Omics" disciplines. Dr. Hood's contributions continued as he became the Biology Chair at Caltech and moved to UW in order to head the Department of Molecular Biotechnology, the first-ever cross-dsicplinary academic department.
In 2000, Dr. Hood and his colleagues founded the Institute for Systems Biology with the goal of understanding biological complexity. He and his team ensured that their researchers were well-versed in a multiplicity of different fields and used the latest research methods to innovate.
Today, Dr. Hood continues to contribute to science and society with his efforts to advance P4 Medicine. P4 stands for predictive, preventative, personalized, and participatory, which encapsulate his vision to revolutionize healthcare into a quantified system that everyone can use to ensure their wellness.
When asked about science education, Dr. Hood had plenty to share with the interns. He emphasized the importance of curiosity and passion for science, indicating that the only problems worth solving in science are the hard ones. He advocates research education and encourages cross-disciplinary study in higher education.

All of us in the baby room would like to wish our children well who have recently moved up to the 2-5 room, and we welcome our newest intake of children whom are all settling in very well.
Here in the baby room we have been making the most of the quieter days, while some of you have been enjoying your holidays, we have been able to go to Simpsons where the children were mesmerized by the different colourful fish, we have also been to feed the ducks and swans at the University where we were able to see the baby swans.
With all this nice weather we have been having we have been able to enjoy lots of outdoor play at various parks and in the garden; drawing with chalk, singing songs on the seesaw, exploring the big garden and playing on the tree house and climbing frames.
Currently our planning is focussed around continuing to settle new children and sensory play which children have been very engaged in. So far this week babies have liked play with oats, pasta, lentils, crazy soap and gloop.
If your child is ill, please do not bring him/her to the Centre. Coughs, sneezes, sickness and diarrhoea spread very rapidly through the group. If your child has an infectious illness, please keep him/her away from the group until the infectious period is over. In line with NHS infection control guidelines we ask that in the case of sickness and diarrhoea you keep your child at home until they have been clear for 48 hours.
The following guidelines are the minimum periods of exclusion – the doctor in attendance may in some cases desire longer exclusions.
· Mumps until the swelling has subsided, but not less than 9 days from the onset of symptoms.
Head lice – head lice are common and easily spread amongst children; treatment is simple via a number of over the counter remedies. There is no need to be embarrassed about your child having nits or lice. For further information please ask your pharmacist. As soon as you have completed the simple treatment your child can attend the centre as normal.
All of us are wishing our children leaving to go to school or further afield well in their new adventures, and would like to welcome our new children just moved up from our baby room whom are already settling in well due to the transitions they have been experiencing over the past few months.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents who have kindly donated toys and resources to us, we really appreciate these gestures as do the children.
We have been making the most of the nice weather with lots of outdoor play in the garden and at various parks. We've been busy in the holidays bug hunting finding lots of slugs, snails, slaters and spiders. We also enjoyed getting our green fingers on planting our bulbs and seeds which we can hopefully see grow into beautiful flowers.
Our planning is currently focussed on learning about princes and princesses through reading various fairytale stories such as Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty and the Beast. Children have been busy making their own crowns and wands and dressing up as their favourite characters.
Jayne at Wimberley Estate Childcare Centre has been in touch to let us know about the fantastic progress they're making in renovating their childcare centre. The changes include a brighter, fresher reception area, more floor space, and the addition of a fantastic outdoor classroom.
It's been six weeks of hard work, but from the photos it looks like time well spent! Have a look at the PowerPoint presentation Jayne has prepared to see the difference the renovations have made.

How to Recover Deleted Files from Windows 7?
Windows 7 is a most popular and widely used Operating system. It is used because of its enormous and advantageous features like safety and security. Here, you can store important files such as office documents, project files, music files, photo, video and document files like Excel and Word files on this machine. This OS has improved boot presentation and improved multi-core performance than Windows Vista OS.

If your answer is yes, then stop wondering and start using this hassle free software named as deleted files recovery tool to bring back deleted files. By employing this application, you will be able to recover files erased due to files emptied from Recycle bin, re-installation of OS without keeping vital backup files etc.
Accidental deletion: Accidental deletion is nothing but deleting the files unintentionally. You can use computer for doing variety of tasks on it. Sometimes, you may delete files unknowingly. Consider a case, where you have stored vital files on drive E along with unwanted files, while deleting those useless files from that disk by mistakenly you may delete vital files by using Delete button. If you do not have back up of important data in any other storage device then it will be difficult for you to restore such files. Hence, it may lead to deletion of files.
Emptying Recycle bin: Recycle bin stores important data, which you have deleted. Sometimes, by using option "Shift + Delete" you may delete useful files present on particular drive. In case, if you do not have backup files then it may erase files completely from Windows 7 machine leading to deletion of files.
Antivirus scanning: All users use antivirus tool to scan their system. This is antivirus tool is used to perform scanning of virus-infected files to increase system performance. While doing scanning, if it finds any severely virus infected files then it deletes such files without any notification. Therefore, it leads to file deletion situation.

It is capable to restore more than 300 different types of files without difficulty. This program will recover deleted files from Windows 7 hard drives like SCSI, IDE and SATA of popular brands of hard disks like Western Digital, Hitachi, Toshiba, Buffalo, etc. It will allow you to preview obtained result before saving it to your computer. It facilitates you to see achieved result before saving it on PC. This widely used application performs fastest recovery of files deleted from bypass Windows Recycle bin with ease.
Whenever you delete files from Windows 7 machine never store any new files on that drive because once it is overwritten it's impossible for any recovery software to recover data. Keep crucial files in any other external drive like USB drive. Maintain authorized antivirus software to scan computer once in a week.


Line of duty death (LODD) numbers for 2018 are a mix of (relatively) good news and bad news. The bad news is that the profiles are remarkably similar to 2017. The good news is that they're a lot better than 2014-2016, inclusive.
As of December 12, 2018, 137 U.S. law enforcement officers lost their lives to some aspect of the job in 2018. This is one shy of the total number of LODDs for 2017, but I am painfully aware that there are not quite three weeks left in the year, and that a cop dies in the line of duty about every 60 hours, on average. Barring a major incident, we will finish the year roughly on par with 2017.
As we turn the page on 2018, take a look back at the biggest moments in policing.
Not quite half (46 percent) of LODDs in 2018 were due to felonious action against law enforcement. This takes into account simple assaults, gunfire, officers struck by vehicles and attacks with edged weapons. All of those categories were roughly similar in number to events in 2017.
The years 2014 through 2016 were especially deadly for law enforcement. 2014 was the year of the officer-involved shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, an event that got prolonged national attention and sparked considerable civil unrest. LODDs due to criminal action spiked in the ensuing years, rising from 47 in 2013 to 66 in 2014, 58 in 2015, and peaking at 91 in 2016. This trend mercifully declined to 62 last year, and is at 64 in mid-December 2018.
It's difficult to say if this trend reflects any change in public attitudes toward police, but there is some data showing a more favorable and sympathetic view of law enforcement, even if the trend is only a momentary one. A Gallup Poll conducted annually since 1993 shows that responses of "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the police was at 57 percent in 2017 after falling to 52 percent in 2015. This 57 percent is close to the average response to the survey over its history.
Favorable opinions do fall after a high-profile incident where someone is perceived to be victimized by the system. Confidence fell to 53 percent in June 2014 when George Zimmerman was acquitted of the murder of Trayvon Martin, giving rise to the Black Lives Matter movement. It went even lower, to 52 percent (a tie for the all-time low) in June 2015, when there were numerous protests of blacks being shot by police.
Another statistic that is difficult to pin down is the number of active shooter incidents. There are multiple databases of these incidents, but most seem to have a political agenda, so the way they classify and count each incident varies.
It's clear that these are on the rise, and they are nearly always deadly, though far more for the citizenry than for law enforcement. One police death that was initially attributed to an active shooter was Sgt. Ron Helus, of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. Forensics has revealed that Sgt. Helus actually succumbed from a bullet fired by an officer from another agency, so that death will be moved to the "accidental" column.
Criminal action accounts for more officer deaths than any other cause, but only a few other categories routinely go into double digits. As with previous years, vehicle-related deaths account for a third (33 percent) of officer fatalities. Many, if not most, of these are single-vehicle accidents, where the officer was responding to a hot call and lost control of the car, going off the road or into a fixed object. This is another tragic statistic that doesn't change much from one year to the next.
The next-most-deadly category is heart attack, with 16 deaths in 2018. Heart attacks among cops are often attributed to the aged and/or overweight, but a closer look at the data reveals this is not always the case. Minnesota Corrections Officer Joseph Parise died of a heart attack at age 37, and Costa Mesa (CA) PD Officer Adrian Reyes was 43. Neither appears to be overweight in their portrait photos. Their deaths, and others, underscore that the hazards of a law enforcement career extend beyond threats by criminal elements. A healthy diet, regular exercise, preventive medical checkups and acceptance of the fact that none of us are indestructible could help lower this figure.
The last double-digit fatality category is deaths from 9/11-related illnesses – 14, so far, in 2018. This is one nobody saw coming when it happened, and one we can do very little about.
These are all tenets drilled into every recruit at the police academy, and yet officers die regularly while ignoring them. Below 100 holds training events around the country, and has training material available for free on its website. It's a worthwhile visit and a critical goal.
Thanks to the Officer Down Memorial Page and Below 100 for their help in preparing this article. Be safe and be well.

PowerCell has delivered fuel cell stack as Coop in Switzerland launches distribution truck with fuel cell technology
Nov 04 2016 • Press release • Regulatory
The leading fuel cell company PowerCell Sweden AB (publ) has, together with Swiss Hydrogen, supplied a fuel cell system to Coop in Switzerland when the company launches Switzerland's first distribution truck with fuel cell technology. The system is built on PowerCell S3 (http://www.powercell.se/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/PowerCell-S3-Datasheet.pdf).
Today Coop in Switzerland took the first steps towards a landmark for climate-neutral mobility. At the same time that Coop inaugurated Switzerland's first hydrogen gas station, the company presented the country's first hydrogen truck.
"I am proud that our PowerCell S3 is in place. This is a big step and our strategic collaboration with Swiss Hydrogen is starting to give results. We are now helping Coop with completely fossil-fuel free transport," says Per Wassén, CEO of PowerCell Sweden AB.
The electric truck is adapted with a fuel cell system based on a PowerCell S3 prototype. PowerCell's partner Swiss Hydrogen has installed and developed the system (the order was communicated in January).
"Swiss Hydrogen is honored to deliver this first hydrogen fuel cell system for the Coop truck and is looking forward to further collaborations. The power density and efficiency reached with the integration of the S3 stack from PowerCell will certainly set a milestone in the zero emission delivery truck sector for the logistic companies", says Alexandre Closset, CEO of Swiss Hydrogen SA.
The need for climate-neutral transport has resulted in truck manufacturers and distributors starting to electrify their vehicles. Coop's is taking the next step by closing the hydrological cycle with the fuel cell truck powered by hydrogen. After tests are completed it is Coop's ambition to successively replace its entire fleet of vehicles with fuel cell operated trucks. Coop will also set up its own hydrogen gas stations alongside its distribution centres.
"We want to kick things off and help ensure that a pioneering technology succeeds", says Joos Sutter, CEO of Coop in Hunzenschwil.
"We receive many requests from the automotive industry because their end customers are demanding fossil fuel-free vehicles. A strong argument is that the fuel cells only waste product is water," says Per Wassén.
PowerCell S3 is compact and designed to easily be installed in a vehicle. It is specially designed for the automotive industry in order to meet the strict requirements of the sector. PowerCell S3 operates on hydrogen gas and has a high degree of efficiency which creates competitive advantage compared to other fuels. The stack is at 100 kW which corresponds to 134 hp. Due to the fact that the system is scalable, the stacks can be connected in series, and in this way produce a few hundred hp.
PowerCell Sweden AB has developed fuel cell technology for more than a decade and has completed a unique design, which enables production of a light, versatile and reliable source of power for cars, transport and stationary applications. Fuel cell stacks PowerCell S1, S2 and S3 cover the power rage of 1-100 kW.
Since April 2016 PowerCell has had a collaborative agreement with Swiss Hydrogen SA. Swiss Hydrogen has broad experience of design, assembly and of integrating the fuel cell system in various applications. The company has also cooperated with sales and marketing activities world-wide and the current hydrogen gas truck is an example of these efforts.
Gothenburg, Sweden, November 4, 2016
This information is insider information that PowerCell Sweden AB (Publ) is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person set out above, at 14:30 CET on November 4, 2016.
PowerCell Sweden AB (publ) is the leading fuel cell company in the Nordics, which develops and produces environmentally friendly power systems for stationary and mobile customer applications.
PowerCell has developed a modular system of fuel cell platforms, powered by clean environmentally friendly produced hydrogen where only electricity, heat and water are emissions. The fuel cells are also designed to handle the reformed hydrogen from e.g. biogas, natural gas, biodiesel or standard diesel.
In case hydrogen infrastructure is missing, PowerCell has combined its leading fuel cell and reformer technology and developed a fuel cell system, PowerPac, which converts standard diesel, with hydrogen, into electricity. This is done in an energy efficient and environmentally friendly way, in which emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particles are completely eliminated and the carbon dioxide is greatly reduced compared with a conventional diesel engine.
PowerCell Sweden AB (publ) is listed on First North at Nasdaq Stockholm and is an industrial spinout from the Volvo Group. G&W Fondkommission is appointed Certified Adviser by the Company. Among the largest owners are Midroc New Technology, Fouriertransform, Finindus and Volvo Group Venture Capital. For additional information, please visit: www.powercell.se

Q: GEdit 'Session Saver' I use 'session saver' with GEdit on Ubuntu 11.10. I would like to know where GEdit stores them so that I can automatically back it using DropBox.

Session Saver: Allow to bookmark working sessions in order to get them back for further use.

A: The details are saved as a XML file in ~/.config/gedit/. The file concerned is saved with the name saved-sessions.xml.
I can't tell if it is useful to sync this file using DropBox because all it ever saves in the file is the exact file path. But, it is a different story if you are storing the same file in the same path across different machines.
