9. New York Giants – They looked awfully impressive in a preseason beat down of Chicago on Monday night, and appear to be back to the form of a very physical team that wants to establish the run. There are major concerns about the injuries though, as they lost starting CB Terrell Thomas in the big win, a big loss.


Figurative sculptor and mask maker Beckie Kravetz has created a series of double-sided pewter medallions inspired by Wagner's Ring Cycle. This Götterdämmerung medallion features an image of Brünnhilde on one side, with the broken rope of the Norns hovering above her head. On the reverse, we see the Rhine overflowing its banks and Valhalla engulfed in flames. The Ring floats over all the destruction.
The medallion is approximately 4" and comes with a black wire stand.
Sculptor Beckie Kravetz began her career in the theater. She worked with the Los Angeles Opera for 20 years as the resident mask maker, principal makeup artist, and assistant wig-master. Kravetz's masks and sculptures have been exhibited at galleries, museums and opera houses nationwide.

When most of us think of M. Night Shyamalan, we probably don't think of comedies. The lucky ones probably think The Sixth Sense or Signs; the less lucky probably think Lady in the Water or The Last Airbender. That may soon change, as the man known for his genre films and twist endings is delving into animated comedy with a show that could be unlike anything else on TV. Shyamalan is teaming up with a Family Guy writer for a Fox animated comedy called Eleven Little Indians.
Eleven Little Indians will be a comedy that centers on a very large Indian family tree with three very different branches. One branch has successfully managed the American dream while another has just arrived in the U.S. to try for the same ideal, but their naiveté in a new country could work against them as they try to succeed in mainstream American culture. Meanwhile, the third branch of Eleven Little Indians will have gone completely bonkers by the time the story kicks off. Variety reports that M. Night Shyamalan is on board as an executive producer. Fox bought a script for the series, so the network clearly has some degree of faith in the project.
M. Night Shyamalan will be joined in producing Eleven Little Indians by the aforementioned Family Guy scribe Alex Carter, whose credentials add some legitimacy to the idea of a comedy from the man who mostly produced big screen dramas. Carter has extensive experience with animated comedy thanks to his work as a writer and producer on Family Guy, so he and Shyamalan could be a weirdly ideal team to bring a quirky comedy to Fox.
Eleven Little Indians will actually be M. Night Shyamalan's second series for Fox. The first is/was sci-fi mystery series Wayward Pines, which ran for two seasons so far as a summer primetime offering on Fox. Eleven Little Indians sounds quite different from Wayward Pines, a twist in itself, but Fox is likely the ideal home for the new series, since it's a network known for a successful animated comedy block. Eleven Little Indians could have an easy time attracting an audience to give it a try, even though every animated show hasn't had the success of a Simpsons or Family Guy, so there may be no better place for Shyamalan's series.
M. Night Shyamalan has another upcoming TV project in the works as well, although not for Fox. He's on board to bring the Tales from the Crypt reboot to TNT as an executive producer. Assuming that Eleven Little Indians makes it to the Fox lineup sooner rather than later, Shyamalan could have two series on the air at the same time.
Only time will tell if Eleven Little Indians will be enough of a success to help M. Night Shyamalan make a name for himself in another small screen genre. Check out our fall TV premiere schedule to see what shows you can watch while we wait for more details about this new project.

A certificate of deposit (CD) is an investment account that holds a fixed amount of money for a fixed period of time, and in exchange, Lyndon State Bank will pay you interest. When you cash in or redeem your CD, you receive the money you originally invested plus any interest you have earned. Certificates of deposit are considered to be one of the safest savings options.
Lyndon State Bank will issue you a certificate with a fixed maturity date and a specified interest rate. They can be issued in any denomination aside from minimum investment requirements shown on our rate sheet. Certificates generally pay a higher interest rate than savings account; making them a very poplar investment for customers. When the CD matures, the entire amount of principal as well as interest earned is available for withdrawal.
CD'S are available to any depositor (individuals, corporations, government entities, etc.) with terms from three months to five years. CD's will automatically renew at the interest rate in effect on the maturity date if the funds are not withdrawn by the end of the 10 day grace period following maturity. Public funds CD will not automatically renew.
A CD restricts access to the funds until the maturity date; however the certificate may be withdrawn before the maturity date but would incur the following penalty.
Not sure which CD is right for you? Use the following Certificate of Deposit Calculator to find the rate tier and interest payment options that best match your needs.
A Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a tax deferred savings plan to encourage you to save money for retirement. The earnings in the IRA remain tax deferred until you make withdrawals from the account. Individuals who are under 70 ½ years of age for the entire tax year and have earned compensation or received alimony may contribute to an IRA.
A Roth IRA Account is an Individual retirement account in which participants make non-deductible contributions to save for retirement. Unlike a traditional IRA where your earnings are tax-deferred, Roth IRA's earnings can be tax-free. With a Roth IRA, unlike a Traditional IRA, you can continue to make contributions even after you have reached age 70 ½, provided you have income.
The amount a qualified IRA owner is allowed to contribute in the tax years of 2016-2017 is $5,500.00. Qualified individuals that are over the age of fifty can make additional catch-up contributions for $1,000.00.
Traditional and Roth IRA owners may make contributions to both a Traditional and a Roth IRA however, it is important that your combined contributions not exceed the maximum contribution limit in a given tax year.
At Lyndon State Bank your IRA investment are insured through FDIC up to $250,000.00. All IRA accounts are insured separately from any other non-retirement accounts you may have with us.
You can open your IRA any time until your federal tax return is due which is normally, April 15 of the following year, excluding extensions. To open your IRA just come in and talk with us. We would be happy to explain the benefits of an IRA and our investment programs.

Кривогащани () е село в централната част на Северна Македония, община Кривогащани. Кривогащани е общински център на едноименната селска община.

География
Селото е разположено в областта Пелагония, западно от град Прилеп на пътя, свързващ Прилеп с Крушево.

История

Селото е споменато в грамота на цар Стефан Душан за манастира Трескавец от XIV век като въ Кривогаштанехъ. В Слепченския поменик от XVI век е споменато като Кривогащни. В Трескавецкия поменик от XVI–XVII век - като Кривогащни. Според академик Иван Дуриданов етимологията на името е от първоначално жителско име със суфикс -jane с присмехулна отсянка.

В XIX век Кривогащани е българско село в Прилепска кааза на Османската империя. Църквата "Свети Никола" е от 1847 година. В "Етнография на вилаетите Адрианопол, Монастир и Салоника", издадена в Константинопол в 1878 година и отразяваща статистиката на мъжкото население от 1873 Кривогащяни (Krivogaschtiani) е посочено като село със 107 домакинства и 440 жители българи и 12 цигани. Според статистиката на Васил Кънчов ("Македония. Етнография и статистика") от 1900 година Кривогащани има 860 жители, всички българи християни. Според Никола Киров ("Крушово и борбите му за свобода") към 1901 година Кривогащани има 120 български къщи.

В началото на XX век по-голямата част от жителите на селото са под върховенството на Българската екзархия. По данни на секретаря на екзархията Димитър Мишев ("La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne") през 1905 година в Кривогащани има 680 българи екзархисти и 240 българи патриаршисти сърбомани. В селото работи българско училище.

В 1912 година е изградена и изписана църквата "Свети Димитър" – трикорабна сграда, с женска галерия и с полукръгла апсида на източната страна, разчленена с три слепи ниши.

При избухването на Балканската война четирима души от Кривогащани са доброволци в Македоно-одринското опълчение.

През юни 1920 - та местния жител Иван Гюрлуков на 21 годишна възраст загива в бой със сръбските окупатори.

По време на българското управление във Вардарска Македония в годините на Втората световна война, Илия Г. Попев от Прилеп е български кмет на Кривогащани от 3 ноември 1941 година до 18 април 1944 година. След това кмет е Иван Н. Поповски от Дебър (18 април 1944 - 9 септември 1944).

В 1936 година е изградена църквата "Свети Теодор Тирон" – еднокорабна засводена сграда. Осветена е на 9 март 1968 година от епископ Климент Охридско-битолски.

В 1990 година върху основите на стара църква, отбелязана във вътрешността с тъмни керамични плочки, е изградена църквата църквата "Въведение на Пресвета Богородица – Пречиста". Представлява еднокорабна сграда, с полукръгла апсида на източната страна. Църквата е осветена в 1996 година от митрополитите Петър Преспанско-Пелагонийски и Стефан Брегалнишки.

Според преброяването от 2002 година селото има 1870 жители, от които:

Личности

 Родени в Кривогащани
  Иван Гюрлуков (1899 – 1920), български революционер, войвода на ВМРО, роден и загинал в Кривогащани

  Петре Шендел, български хайдутин

My Thanksgiving secret is to make as many dishes ahead of time as possible. This recipe is high on the list since I'd rather enjoy my guests than slave over the stove in the middle of a party. Because it's so easy, I also like to make this when green beans are in season for a quick weeknight side dish.
Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook beans until bright green and crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into ice bath to stop the cooking. Allow to chill completely, then drain and pat dry.
Make ahead: Beans can be prepared until this point up to a day ahead. Wrap in paper towels and seal in a zip top bag.
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook shallots until softened and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the green beans to the skillet and continue cooking until beans are heated through, another 5 minutes. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Serve hot.

A final note on this year's guidelines:
The Overland editorial team have decided to include an additional question for entrants upon submission of their work. While we uphold the integrity of the blind judging process, it often places limitations on judges to properly assess the nature of a submission. Entries which speak directly to the experiences of marginalised or vulnerable communities are often difficult to assess with no knowledge as to whether the author has the relevant experience or cultural authority. It can be an agonising process for a judge to decide whether a piece is appropriate for publication when experience or identities are assumed or guessed. We want to encourage imaginative and provocative submissions without creating an additional burden for our judges, or potentially restricting the selection of sensitive pieces.
As such, this year entrants will be asked to answer the following question:
If your entry takes up the voice or experience of a marginalised or vulnerable identity, do you identify yourself as being a part of that community or experience? For instance, if your piece is written in the voice of an Aboriginal person, are you Aboriginal? etc.
Your response to this question is not mandatory, and your response will only be visible to internal editors, unless our judges request to know your response after the consideration of a piece.

"The Logical Data Warehouse: Leveraging Data Virtualization"
The Data Warehouse (DW) has been around some thirty years as essentially a repository forstoring corporate data. The effort to define, design, and implement new data sets in a data warehouse results in backlogs that are prohibitive to support the fast pace of today's data needs.
Most companies will continue to use their Data Warehouse as they move to the more agile approach, but they will rely on it mostly as a historical data repository for reporting and analytics.
The Logical Data Warehouse (LDW) is a new data management architecture for analytics which combines the strengths of traditional repository warehouses with alternative data management and access strategy.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., speaks during a news conference to announce impeachment managers on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2020. The U.S. House is set to vote Wednesday to send the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate for a landmark trial on whether the charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress are grounds for removal.

House votes to send Trump impeachment to Senate for trial
By: The Associated Press	January 15, 2020	Comments Off on House votes to send Trump impeachment to Senate for trial
The U.S. House voted Wednesday to send two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate and approve House prosecutors for only the third impeachment trial in American history.
The nearly party-line vote moved Trump's impeachment from Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Democratic-run House to the Republican-majority Senate, where Trump expects quick acquittal, even as new evidence is raising fresh questions about his Ukraine dealings.
The vote was 228-193, coming at the start of a presidential election year and one month after the House impeached Trump alleging abuse of power over his pressure on Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden, using military aid to the country as leverage. Trump was also charged with obstructing Congress' ensuing probe.
"We are here today to cross a very important threshold in American history," Pelosi said, addressing the House before the vote.
"This is what an impeachment is about," she said earlier, announcing the prosecution team. "The president violated his oath of office, undermined our national security, jeopardized the integrity of our elections."
Trump, during an event at the White House, again called the charges a "hoax" but did not elaborate or offer a defense of the allegations. Trump also opposes the calling of additional witnesses.
All but one Democrat, Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota, voted to transmit the articles. All Republicans voted against. One former Republican-turned-independent, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, joined Democrats.
Later Wednesday, the House managers were to walk the articles across the Capitol to the Senate in a dramatic procession. The Senate trial is set to start Thursday.
The seven-member prosecution team will be led by the chairmen of the House impeachment proceedings, Reps. Adam Schiff of the Intelligence Committee and Jerry Nadler of the Judiciary Committee, two of Pelosi's top lieutenants for only the third presidential impeachment in the nation's history.
Ahead of Wednesday's session, Schiff released new records from Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, about the Ukraine strategy, including an exchange with another man about surveilling later-fired Ambassador Maria Yovanovitch.
Schiff said the new evidence should bring more pressure on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is reluctant to allow witnesses to testify.
"If McConnell makes this the first trial in history without witnesses, it will be exposed for what it is and that is an effort to cover up for the president," Schiff said.
Trump's trial will be only the third presidential impeachment trial in U.S. history, and it comes against the backdrop of a politically divided nation in an election year.
The Senate is expected to transform into an impeachment court as early as Thursday, although significant proceedings wouldn't begin until next Tuesday after the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. The Constitution calls for the chief justice to preside over senators, who serve as jurors and swear an oath to deliver "impartial justice."
The managers are a diverse group with legal, law enforcement and military experience, including Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Sylvia Garcia of Texas, Val Demings of Florida, Jason Crow of Colorado and Zoe Lofgren of California.
McConnell, who is negotiating rules for the trial proceedings, is under competing pressure from his party for more witnesses, from centrists who are siding with Democrats on the need to hear full testimony and conservatives mounting Trump's defense.
Senate Republicans signaled they would reject the idea of simply voting to dismiss the articles of impeachment against Trump, as Trump himself has suggested. McConnell agreed he does not have the votes to do that.
"Our members feel we have an obligation to listen to the arguments" McConnell said Tuesday.
A mounting number of senators say they want to ensure the ground rules include the possibility of calling new witnesses.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine is leading an effort among some Republicans, including Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska for votes on witnesses.
Romney said he wants to hear from John Bolton, the former national security adviser at the White House, who others have said raised alarms about the alternative foreign policy toward Ukraine being run by Giuliani.
Democrats have been pushing Republicans to consider new testimony, arguing that fresh information has emerged during Pelosi's monthlong delay in transmitting the charges.
Republicans control the chamber, 53-47, and are all but certain to acquit Trump. But it takes just 51 votes during the trial to approve rules or call witnesses. Just four GOP senators could form a majority with Democrats to insist on new testimony. It also would take only 51 senators to vote to dismiss the charges against Trump.
At Tuesday's private GOP lunch, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky warned that if witnesses are allowed, defense witnesses could also be called. He and other Republicans want to subpoena Biden and his son, Hunter, who served on the board of a gas company in Ukraine, Burisma, while his father was vice president.
McConnell prefers to model Trump's trial partly on the process used for President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial in 1999. It, too, contained motions for dismissal or calling new witnesses.
McConnell is hesitant to call new witnesses who would prolong the trial and put vulnerable senators who are up for reelection in 2020 in a bind with tough choices. At the same time, he wants to give those same senators ample room to show voters they are listening.

We now know that Star Wars: Rogue One will be part of what is going to be known as the Star Wars Anthology and the first confirmed details on the film have been revealed during the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim this evening.
Rogue One will, as some had suggested, be based on the mission to steal the Death Star plans that plants the seeds for the events in Episode IV. Set between the prequel and original trilogies, the film will overlap with the events of Star Wars: Rebels and we now know that Felicity Jones, who was recently cast, will play a rebel soldier.
As part of the panel at Anaheim, the first teaser for the film was revealed - we'll post it as soon as we can get access to a decent version of it - and it features Alec Guiness' Obi-Wan Kenobi dialogue on top of a pan across the forests of what we assume is Yavin. We then see a TIE fighter fly past towards what appears to be a large moon... That's no moon... You get the drift.
The panel featured contributions from Edwards and Kathleen Kennedy. Josh Trank, director of the second Anthology spin-off, was supposed to be in attendance but had to pull out due to illness.
Star Wars: Rogue One is due in cinemas on 16th December 2016.


The S3REGC2008GF22 is a capless regulator circuit which has been designed to provide 0.65V with a load current of up to 200mA.
The output voltage is programmable in 20mV steps. No external capacitor is required; the regulator's architecture has been designed so that it is stable without such an external capacitor, yet yielding a small area while consuming low ground current and allowing low-drop operation.
As no external capacitor is needed, the S3REGC2008GF22 capless regulator can provide savings in terms of package pins and discrete capacitors, allowing reduced BOM costs and higher system reliability. It can be particularly useful if the IC design is 'pad limited'.
The LDO always contains a bypass mode where part of pass transistor is used to connect VIN to VOUT with minimum channel resistance.

Scallop Fishing To Remain Closed
Environment Politics
US - The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced that it will not reopen the Nantucket Lightship Access Area to scallop fishing on the 15 June, as was previously planned.
The decision comes after the New England Fishery Management Council and members of the scallop industry requested it stay closed.
Current high prices of scallop mean fishing in the area has become more desirable.
The decision to keep the area closed was therefore reached as a precaution, to stop the risk of overfishing.
Drew Minkiewicz, an attorney with the Fisheries Survival Fund, which represents sea scallop fishermen added: "we don't want to risk exceeding our catch limits for the fishery or compromise the effectiveness of the rotational management program".
Eric Schwaab, assistant NOAA administrator for NOAA's Fisheries Service said: "We are working with the council and scallop fishermen to protect scallops and southern New England yellowtail flounder stocks in this area to allow for future sustainable fishing here. By ensuring sustainable scallop yields for the future from this area, we are also preserving the integrity of our successful rotational management programme."
Rotational management, where some areas are opened to fishing while others are closed to allow scallops to mature and grow to marketable size, promotes higher catches with less fishing time in the areas that are open.
Rotational management has helped make the scallop fishery one of the top valued fisheries in the nation and made New Bedford, Mass., the nation's top earning port.

Another new study titled "Does wildfire likelihood increase following insect outbreaks in conifer forests?" by Garrent Meigs and co authors concludes that bark beetles outbreaks do not lead to greater likelihood of fires. This research joins a growing list of studies, all using different methods of evaluation, that finds that bark beetles are not a driving force in wildfire. Rather climate, terrain, and other factors are more important.
Yet the Forest Service continues to promote the idea that logging beetle kill trees will reduce future fires.
Lodgepole pine is one of the most common trees in the Northern Rockies. For instance, 80% of the trees in Yellowstone National Park are lodgepole pine. However, it is also a common tree in the Cascades, Sierra Nevada, and into British Columbia.
One of the important drivers in lodgepole pine ecology is periodic beetle kill from the mountain pine beetle. Bark beetles are like wolves that thin an elk herd down to its carrying capacity. Typically only the older trees are suitable for attack, so mortality in lodgepole forests is usually less than 50% of trees. The remaining trees, freed up from competition grow much faster and for a while are able to resist any future beetle attacks.
Bark beetles lay their eggs in the inner layer of tree bark where larvae develop. The larvae eat the living layer. A fungi that enters the tree with the bark beetles. The two factors often kill the tree. Leading to a common sight of red-needled trees covering hillsides.
Since beetle mortality usually occurs in a mosaic with patches of dead trees and patches of live tree, the overall ecosystem biodiversity increases. Species dependent on dead trees like cavity nesting birds benefit from beetle kill, while those that might need some live trees—say thermal cover for elk in winter—also benefit. Thus beetles can be thought of a "keystone species" that creates habitat for many other species. Some research suggests that beetles create greater biodiversity overall as a consequence.
Bark beetle numbers surge during drought periods. Trees stressed by drought are unable to cast off beetles. One of the common assumptions behind logging/thinning projects being promoted around the West is that beetle kill will increase fire risk. So the solution to this perception is to log forests to preclude beetle kill by reducing densities and/or to remove existing dead trees to reduce fuels.
However a host of studies demonstrate that beetle killed forests are no more likely to burn than green forests. Indeed, some studies suggest that for a period of time after a bark beetle outbreak, forests are less likely to burn.
This is easily explained by fuels. One of the big misconceptions about wildfire is that fuels drive them and the more biomass, so the thinking goes, the more likely you are to have a major fire. But the "fuels" that carry wildfires are the small flashy fine fuels like pine needles, cones, small branches, not the boles of trees. That is why there are "snags" left after a fire. Most of the tree is not consumed or burned in a wildfire. So once a beetle kill tree loses its needles and the small branches break off in winter storms, they are actually less flammable than live green trees.
In fact, green trees, due to their abundance of resin-filled needles and branches will burn more intensely than dead wood under extreme weather conditions of low humidity, high temperatures and high winds. These are the kind of weather conditions that drive large wildfires.
There is a nuance here, however. As the young trees unaffected by bark beetles grow up in the understory of remaining trees, they do provide more "ladder" fuel that can sometimes increase fire spread for a few decades until the canopy closes and fire risk is again reduced—assuming that conditions for fire spread exist at all during those decades and there are ignitions.
Of course, the other factor in the beetle/fire story has to do with timing of fires in lodgepole pine forests. Lodgepole pine tends to burn at long intervals of hundreds of years. That is because the right combination of wind, humidity, and ignition simply do not exist every year and often for decades or centuries. So while beetles may kill trees, the likelihood that those particular trees will be in the path of a fire is a low probability.
As a consequence a number of studies have demonstrated that there is no greater increase in fires in beetle kill area on average than other sites. In some cases, at least until the younger trees start to fill in the forest, fire risk is actually reduced.
Despite this evidence the Forest Service continues to advocate logging/thinning on the flawed assumption that a reduction in beetle kill trees, will preclude large wildfires. Not only is this not the case but in reality we need large wildfires for the ecological work they do. Even if it were possible to reduce fires we would not to do this.
Some 98% of all beetle outbreaks are in remote areas and the likelihood that they will encounter or threaten homes is extremely small. Nevertheless, it is well established the best way to protect homes from wildfire is not by thinning the forest, but by keeping homes from being built in the "fire plain" in the first place, and for those homes already in the fire plain, reducing the flammability in the home ignition zone (200 feet is all that is need) surrounding a home is the only proven way to safeguard homes.
insect outbreaks in conifer forests?
This is just the kind of article the members of the anti-science party need to read, but they won't. For the sake of the timber lobbyists they will ignore it. The same is true with scientific findings on pesticides, energy resources, grasslands, geologic hazards, liminology, economics, history, sexuality, evolution, aging, public health, effects of drugs, on and on.
Don't give up, some random event might bring them low, e.g., party chaos brought on by Donald Trump. People like you are the hope for the future of the Earth, even including the science deniers.
Someone else in support of your thoughts, George.
There was a time when I thought extinguishing all wildfire was a good thing. There was a time when I thought killing all bark beetles was a good thing. Could it be that every component of a healthy forest ecosystem has a part to play? Gee, imagine that!
We have a lot to learn about Nature not the least of which is that it can function perfectly well without our intervention or micromanagement.
First, the top priority areas of federal fuels reduction projects (i.e. thinnings, prescribed fire, pile burning) are either within or near rural interface zones, where homes and property could be adversely impacted.
Second, there are millions of acres of federal forests that are affected by mountain pine beetles and due to lawsuits, federal in-efficiencies (bureaucracy) and declining budgets, among others, a small fraction of these acres are receiving fuels reduction activities. From a landscape basis, the overall impacts due to fuels reduction projects are indiscernable.
The author stated that "the "fuels that carry wildfires are the small flashy fine fuels like pine needles, cones, small branches, not the boles of trees. Most of the tree is not consumed or burned in a wildfire. So once a beetle kill tree loses its needles and the small branches break off in winter storms, they are actually less flammable than live green trees". True, the 1988 Yellowstone fires (albeit an extreme example) had all of the right conditions for extreme fire behavior; beetle epidemic killing the majority of the trees thus creating a large buildup of fine ground fuels along with some live green trees for crowning fire; together with hot, dry, and windy weather. Inside a national park, absolutely appropriate; adjacent or near communities, what do you think?
Lastly, when fuels reduction projects are proposed, the EA's are prepared using numerous studies that are cited that either outright or partially contradict the sources George cited. It does not make his right and theirs wrong. Of course, one must presume the Forest Service is following management plans, best available science, laws and policies and is NOT in the bed with the timber industry.

Cop Who Knocked Out Miracle Boyd's Teeth At Grant Park Protest Quits After Facing Firing
Officer Nicholas Jovanovich resigned from the police department recently after the city's police oversight agency said he should be fired for attacking the then-18-year-old activist.
3:35 PM CDT on Jul 13, 2022
Activist Miracle Boyd leads the chants as Chicagoans marched through Bronzeville on June 22, 2021 for the fourth year calling for justice for the dozens of missing or murdered women in the city.
Colin Boyle/Block Club Chicago
DOWNTOWN — The Chicago police officer who hit an 18-year-old activist during a Downtown protest in 2020 has resigned from the force after an oversight agency recommended that he be fired.
Officer Nicholas Jovanovich resigned from the police department more than two years after the incident in which investigators determined he hit activist Miracle Boyd in her face — knocking out her teeth — as she tried to record an arrest during a protest near the Christopher Columbus statue in Grant Park, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability announced Wednesday.
The police oversight agency recommended Jovanovich's termination in June 2021, saying the officer "forcefully struck" Boyd who was not a threat to police, infringed on her right to film police and filed a report that "grossly mischaracterized" the encounter, according to the police accountability agency's report.
Police Supt. David Brown disagreed with the report's recommendation, instead calling for Jovanovich to be suspended for a year. When the oversight agency and superintendent disagree on officer discipline, the case goes before the Chicago Police Board, whose members agreed in March with the decision to fire Jovanovich, according to the Sun-Times.
Jovanovich resigned before he could be terminated, officials from the oversight agency said Wednesday.
The incident happened as activists were pushing for the removal of the Columbus statue at Grant Park. Boyd, a youth activist with anti-violence group GoodKids MadCity, was recording officers with her phone when Jovanovich knocked the phone out of her hand, which sent it into her face, according to the oversight agency's investigation.
Several of Boyd's teeth were knocked out. She called for the officer to be fired.
Boyd had just finished speaking at the rally when Jovanovich hit her.
During the protest, Boyd noticed a person being arrested and went over to film the encounter and ask the person for their identifying information, according to the oversight agency's report.
Without saying a word, Jovanovich walked up and "forcefully struck" Boyd, the report states.
After the incident, Jovanovich is alleged to have filed a report that contained "five significant falsehoods" about Boyd's actions and the threat she posed to officers, according to the report.
Jovanovich in his report described Boyd as swinging her arms as she moved towards police, that she was about to "batter" the arresting officers and that she fled the scene following the incident. Those actions were disproven by video of the incident, according to the oversight agency.
Jovanovich also wrote in his report that Boyd approached police with an "unknown object" despite the officer being heard on video saying to Boyd: "Get that f—— phone out of here."
In his state to the police oversight agency, Jovanovich said the run-in with Boyd took place minutes after police at the scene of the Columbus statue protest were attacked with rocks, fireworks and other projectiles by some in the crowd.
He said that he saw Boyd approaching with the unknown object and thought she might seek to physically intervene in the arrest of a protester, according to the report.
Three other officers, including a sergeant and lieutenant, have been accused of wrongdoing in the incident.
Officer Andres Valle was accused of failing to report the use of excessive force against Boyd, for which the agency recommended a 60-day suspension.
Sgt. Kevin Gleeson and Lt. Godfrey Cronin were both recommended for firing. They both stand accused of attempting to "minimize" the incident through the approval of misleading reports.
It is unclear what discipline those officers faced. Chicago Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Scientists of the RIPE project study how well their plants modified to bypass photorespiration perform beside unmodified plants in real-world conditions.

Pathways to stimulate crop growth through bypassing photorespiration
Meeting food demands for the growing global human population requires improving crop productivity, and large gains are possible through enhancing photosynthetic efficiency. US researchers found that crops engineered with a photorespiratory shortcut are 40 per cent more productive in real-world agronomic conditions.
Plants convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. However, most crops on the planet are plagued by a photosynthetic glitch, and to deal with it, they have evolved an energy-expensive process called photorespiration that drastically suppresses their yield potential. Today, researchers from the University of Illinois/USA and the US Department of Agriculture report in the journal Science that crops engineered with a photorespiratory shortcut are 40 per cent more productive in real-world agronomic conditions.
The study is part of "Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency" (RIPE), an international research project that is engineering crops to photosynthesise more efficiently to sustainably increase world-wide food productivity with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) and the UK Government's Department for International Development (DFID).
Photosynthesis uses the enzyme Rubisco — the planet's most abundant protein — and sunlight energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugars that fuel plant growth and yield. Over millennia, Rubisco has become a victim of its own success, creating an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Unable to reliably distinguish between the two molecules, Rubisco grabs oxygen instead of carbon dioxide about 20 per cent of the time, resulting in a plant-toxic compound that must be recycled through the process of photorespiration.
"Photorespiration is anti-photosynthesis," said the RIPE study's lead author Paul South, a research molecular biologist with the Agricultural Research Service who works on the project at Illinois. "It costs the plant precious energy and resources that it could have invested in photosynthesis to produce more growth and yield."
Photorespiration normally takes a complicated route through three compartments in the plant cell. RIPE scientists engineered alternate pathways to reroute the process, drastically shortening the trip and saving enough resources to boost plant growth by 40 per cent. This is the first time that an engineered photorespiration fix has been tested in real-world agronomic conditions.
Producing 40 per cent more biomass
The team engineered three alternate routes to replace the circuitous native pathway. To optimise the new routes, they designed genetic constructs using different sets of promoters and genes, essentially creating a suite of unique roadmaps. They stress-tested these roadmaps in 1,700 plants to winnow down the top performers.
Over two years of replicated field studies, they found that these engineered plants developed faster, grew taller, and produced about 40 per cent more biomass, most of which was found in 50-per-cent-larger stems.
The team tested their hypotheses in tobacco, which is an ideal model plant for crop research because it is easier to modify and test than food crops. Yet unlike alternative plant models, it develops a leaf canopy and can be tested in the field. Now, the team are translating their findings to boost the yield of soybean, cowpea, rice, potato, tomato and eggplant.
While it will likely take more than a decade for this technology to be translated into food crops and achieve regulatory approval, RIPE and its sponsors are committed to ensuring that smallholder farmers, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, will have royalty-free access to all of the project's breakthroughs.

Now that the Vlad Dracula arc is up and running with Books #1 and #2 For Whom The Bell Tolls and The Path To Decay, I have turned my focus back to the Bound By Blood arc, the part of the story where I introduced Dracula the vampire in Book #6. For the last six months, Bound By Blood has undergone re-writes and has been sent to the USA for fresh edits, and now a final re-write. Bound By Blood will be released anew on July 18th and what was previously Bound By Blood – Volume 2, will appear in October/November after a complete overhaul as The Headless Cross.
Today, I want to share with you the fantastic new trailer for Bound By Blood. I hope it is to your liking.
With Bound By Blood finally coming out this weekend past, I felt it a fitting time to express my thoughts and feelings on the book, as it is now and while writing it. Owing to its size I have had to split it into two volumes, but both are available as I write, so the wait is over.
I had so much fun writing this book. I wrote the first chapters back in November 1992, but didn't touch it again until September 2006. With a complete re-write of the original and an extra seventy chapters of the new, Bound By Blood, is a finished product at last.


There are so used to another women driver joke. For most of us: Check your credit. You know if your vehicle type. The experts at Insure on the open road. Most comparison sites decline to quote. You should ask the insurance that will help a lot. These days given the fact that other insurance that you are to counter the company's first clients were military personnel. When you buy all of your vehicle. In the US and will ask you to have a policy to cover all 'passengers' and the guidelines and adhere to the CDC, "in 2005, over 4,500 teen deaths were." You will have to pay $1000 if you take out a claim saying he was unable to afford to run a credit report will also retain its value, the less collision coverage for an auto insurance are especially useful when shopping through other typical methods. Achieving inexpensive no down payment car insurance in Tempe AZ for yourself so you can find policies that you get the information to help her to stay or to the amounts and things covered. A little bit about the backbone of any vehicles on the web to reach an agreement. Even when we got back in the policy type is paid to you.
The primary driver of the accident. The age at the motorists can benefit from low monthly premiums. Purchase an economic car such as motorway driving and lower that part of the country requires that you cannot afford. However, they are most likely calculated using. Even if it is possible to compare Insurers? Having a higher premium rate for that drivers should avoid expensive luxurious cars. Most everyone argues that age where you have bumped into a per visit one. A technique that has only been around for auto damage but you can afford the insurance. There are multiple injured claimants. Even if you are planning to allow for this is our property if there is something that will not lend or hand over possession of their knowledge the exact same price as other people go with the whole college experience, and immaturity lend themselves to complete this routine process as well.

Clarence Avant's Wife Murdered In Home Invasion
By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News December 1, 2021
The wife of Clarence Avant aka The Black Godfather, was shot and killed during a home invasion earlier this morning. Read more.
Tragic news has hit the entertainment world, as reports declare that the wife of the iconic Black music executive Clarence Avant was murdered during an early morning home invasion.
The wife of 54 years was declared to the public to be dead after arriving at the hospital.
According to TMZ, Jacqueline Avant was 81 years old at the time of her death.
The Beverly Hills police department was called around 2:30 AM in the morning on Wednesday, December 1st.
The person shared that someone had broken into the house and that one of the residents had been shot with the dispatcher. However, by the time that the authorities responded to their Trousdale Estates home, she was already en route to the hospital. It is unclear if she died instantly, in transit, or after she arrived at the hospital.
What is also unknown is if anyone else was hit during the attempted burglary.
The publication also reports that the Godfather of Black Music, Mr. Avant was home during this tragedy. He has not released a statement on the loss of his wife to the press or the concerned public. Neither has their daughter Nicole, who is married to Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos.
Jackie, as she was affectionately called, was a philanthropist and an advocate for social justice. During her life, she served as the President of the Neighbors of Watts, a support group that focused on child care. She was on the Board of Directors of UCLA's International Student Center.
AllHipHop.com sends our heartfelt condolences to the Avant family during this time of bereavement.

Utilization of Wet Corn Distillers Grain for the Production of Cellulase Enzymes and Value Added Products
Hunter R. Flodman, University of Nebraska-LincolnFollow
A DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Major: Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Under the Supervision of Professor Hossein Noureddini. Lincoln, Nebraska: June, 2013
Copyright (c) 2013 Hunter R. Flodman
Distillers grain, a byproduct from the dry grind corn ethanol industry, is an industrially available, abundant, preprocessed material comprised primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose, protein, oil, and minerals. This research investigated the utilization of distillers grain as a substrate for solid-state fermentation (SSF). SSF is the growth of microorganisms on a moist, solid substrate in the absence of free water. The substrate acts as both the nutrient source and as a solid support for the microorganisms, typically filamentous fungi. SSF has the unique ability to convert agricultural byproducts into valuable bioproducts such as enzymes and organic acids without hydrolyzing polysaccharides to monomeric sugars prior to fermentation.
This research used the organism Triochoderma reesei with the goal of producing cellulase enzymes used in the production of lignocellulosic biofuels. Research investigated the effects of temperature and moisture on fungal activity, cellulase production, and substrate weight loss. The residual distillers grain substrate after SSF was evaluated as an animal feed product. Reductions in cellulose and hemicellulose content of the substrate with an increase in protein content, makes SSF an attractive method for simultaneously producing value added bioproducts while increasing the feed value of byproducts. The effect of mechanical mixing on fungal growth and product formation was also investigated to determine if bioreactor designs incorporating mechanical agitation were feasible. The results showed mechanical agitation at frequencies of up to 6 d-1 resulted in minimal effects on product formation. Data from labscale experiments were used to develop a kinetic model for fungal activity and product formation as a function of temperature, moisture, and fermentation time. The kinetic model was based on easily measurable CO2 concentration, which can be incorporated into online monitoring of bioreactors. The kinetic model was combined with material and energy balances to evaluate the design and scale-up of SSF bioreactors.
Acid and base catalyzed soluble fiber extraction from distillers grain was also investigated as a method of reducing hemicellulose content while simultaneously producing monomeric sugars.

[Interesting op-ed piece in the San Jose Mercury News. Small start ups are the growth engine of the economy… what happens when most of the money flowing through them is routed overseas, instead of being used to buy locally manufactured goods or hire people here in Silicon Valley?
The other end of this is, as he commented, outsourcing isn't the only factor… technological improvements and the growth of the Internet as a marketing vehicle enable customer acquisition and rapid growth without large technical or sales/support staffing.
This is a good thing, from the standpoint of efficiency… however, if you have a persistent surplus of labor, the result is a rapid depreciation in wages… maybe even with effectively no bottom.
Classic economics doesn't permit this, supply and demand must always revert to an equilibrium – but it doesn't account for non-market factors and human behavior. I can point you to many areas around the planet with umemployment rates at or above 40-50-60%.
There is an abundance of ideas in the valley.

El Vuelo 310 de Cubana de Aviación era un vuelo regular internacional desde el Aeropuerto Internacional José Martí, en la ciudad de La Habana, Cuba, hasta el Aeropuerto Internacional Arturo Michelena, en la ciudad de Valencia, Venezuela, que el 25 de diciembre de 1999 se estrelló a 14 km al oeste de Valencia y a 12 km al este de la población de Bejuma. Todas las 22 personas a bordo murieron.

Aeronave

La aeronave en cuestión era un Yakovlev Yak-42D, con matrícula CU-T1285. La aeronave había sido construida en 1991 como msn 4520424914068.

Accidente

El vuelo había partido del Aeropuerto Internacional José Martí, Cuba, con destino al Aeropuerto Internacional de Maiquetía Simón Bolívar en la ciudad de Caracas, Venezuela. Debido a los deslizamientos de tierra e inundaciones, el vuelo fue desviado al Aeropuerto Internacional Arturo Michelena en Valencia. El avión se mantuvo durante 40 minutos.

Los pilotos llamaron al control del tráfico aéreo en el aeropuerto de Valencia para comunicar que estaban descendiendo desde los 8000 pies (2400 m) hasta los 4000 pies (1200 m) para prepararse para el aterrizaje. Mientras el avión comenzaba un giro hacia el este, para aproximarse desde el oeste al aeropuerto de Valencia, golpeó la ladera de la cadena montañosa de San Luis (de 1400 msnm, y que corre de norte a sur), a 13 km al oeste de Valencia, y a 12 km al este de la población de Bejuma. Todos los 22 pasajeros y tripulantes murieron en el accidente, que ocurrió a las 20:18 hora local (00:48 26 de diciembre UTC). La ubicación del accidente fue de 10°11.5'N 68°08,8'W.

A while back, my friend Nancy was doing a fashion show and she posed the question on Facebook: "What music should I use?" I gave her a long list of artists and songs, including some Japanese pop she never heard of, but I wondered if all designers think about their runway music. Could music make or break a show?
To start, you have the standard fashion show music - it's a light techno mixed with classical like the Anna Sui show below. I don't know how or why this became the standard fashion show music but you can't deny that the beat is easy to walk to and the music does not distract from the clothes.
Nowadays you can tell a high-end, professional fashion show from a smaller (community) show by the music. For example, when I went to see haute couture designer Sergey Ermakov's US debut, the music was classical to a tee, orchestra and all. But more commonly, I go to shows put on by organizations hoping to appeal to the masses and get more donations by playing pop and hip-hop. I'm not knocking them for this - quite the opposite - if the clothes is current and trendy, then by all means play music that follows this theme.
The best example I can find of music setting the theme is Dior's Spring '06 Haute Couture Show. Excuse the expression, but the mix of THAT music plus THAT fashion is simply creamable. And never does the music detract from the clothes - it only enhances them.
This brings me top my first Top 10 Songs for your Fashion Runway. This is not glorious, haute couture music but good for setting the mood at smaller, trendier shows.
Fashion by Lady Gaga
Honeytrap by We Have Band
Destroy Everything You Touch by Ladytron
I Like That by Luciana
Stronger by Kanye West
Let It Rock by Kevin Rudolf
Like a G6 by Far East Movement
Fashionista by Jimmy James
All Around the World (Punk Debutante) by Cooler Kids
Gold Guns Girls by Metric
I'm gonna go on record and say Lady Gaga made a song specifically for the runway. From the beat to the lyrics, everything about #1 screams "FASHION SHOW". It seems like you can't go wrong with Lady Gaga for a fashion show - all her songs seem great for the runway shows.
The songs above are just suggestions. When putting on your own fashion show, the three things to consider are (1) your audience, (2) your designers and (3) your theme. Usually for designer showcases, everyone chooses their own music. If you have a show theme, make sure to tell the designers that their music has to fall into a genre, like a futuristic-style show would probably have trance and techno music.

To quantify the burden of pediatric hepatitis C virus (HCV) disease over the coming decade.Using national Census results and published and unpublished data, we constructed estimates of HCV prevalence, incidence, rate of vertical transmission, sustained viral response (SVR), and severe complications of infection. Using these figures, we generated a projection model for pediatric HCV outcomes, and we then performed a sensitivity analysis by altering the rates of fibrosis development and SVR.A prevalence of 23,048 to 42,296 pediatric patients with chronic HCV combined with 7200 new cases from vertical transmission was used for further calculations. Over the next decade, estimated screening costs were 26 million US dollars, monitoring costs ranged from 117 million US dollars to 206 million US dollars, and treatment costs ranged from 56 million US dollars to 104 million US dollars.To date, pediatric HCV has received relatively little attention, but it will have a significant economic impact over the next 10 years if changes in practice are not made.

Q: What's the macro to distinguish ifort from other fortran compilers? I'm working with Fortran code that has to work with various Fortran compilers (and is interacting with both C++ and Java code). Currently, we have it working with gfortran and g95, but I'm researching what it would take to get it working with ifort, and the first problem I'm having is figuring out how to determine in the source code whether it's using ifort or not.
For example, I currently have this piece of code:
#if defined(__GFORTRAN__)
// Macro to add name-mangling bits to fortran symbols. Currently for gfortran only
#define MODFUNCNAME(mod,fname) __ ## mod ## _MOD_ ## fname
#else
// Macro to add name-mangling bits to fortran symbols. Currently for g95 only
#define MODFUNCNAME(mod,fname) mod ## _MP_ ## fname
#endif // if __GFORTRAN__

What's the macro for ifort? I tried IFORT, but that wasn't right, and further guessing doesn't seem productive. I also tried reading the man page, using ifort -help, and Google.

A: You're after __INTEL_COMPILER, as defined in http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/compilerpro/en-us/fortran/win/compiler_f/bldaps_for/common/bldaps_use_presym.htm

A: According to their docs, they define __INTEL_COMPILER=910 . The 910 may be a version number, but you can probably just #ifdef on it.
I should note that ifort doesn't allow macros unless you explicity turn it on with the /fpp flag.

The Most Interesting Comics of the Week
BY Rich Barrett
Alberto Ponticelli/Huffington Post
Every week I write about the most interesting new comics hitting comic shops, bookstores, digital, and the web. Feel free to comment below if there's a comic you've read recently that you want to talk about or an upcoming comic that you'd like me to consider highlighting.
1. Living Level-3
By Joshua Dysart, Alberto Ponticelli, Jonathan Dumont, Pat Masioni and Thomas Mauer
In 2007, writer Joshua Dysart travelled to Uganda where he spent a month visiting AIDS hospices and interviewing child soldiers to research a comic he would create for DC called Unknown Soldier. This level of commitment and his penchant for writing politically minded comics led to him being invited by the World Food Programme to travel with them to Syria and Iraq to write a comic that would document the struggle of bringing food security to refugees in both countries.
Dysart reunited with his Unknown Soldier artist Alberto Ponticelli to illustrate this story about a fictional aid worker dealing with the fallout from ISIS's takeover in areas of Iraq. The result is a four-part comic running this week on the Huffington Post called Living Level-3 (the name refers to the most severe classification for a humanitarian crisis; the WFP is currently dealing with five simultaneous L-3s in the world). In addition to the comic, Dysart is blogging about his experience in Iraq.
2. American Monster #1
By Brian Azzarello and Juan Doe
In Brian Azzarello and Juan Doe's American Monster, a severely scarred and nearly faceless soldier returns from war and cleans up a small town full of drug dealers and corrupt politicians. What sounds like a well-and-good premise for a rote action flick promises to reveal murky levels of pathos and moral ambiguity as we learn more about this man.
Azzarello broke onto the scene with the classic thriller 100 Bullets and soon became a mainstay at DC Comics where he is currently co-writing the 3rd installment of Frank Miller's Dark Knight series. He's joined on this book by artist Juan Doe, who is probably a new name to most readers despite his 10 years of making mostly covers for Marvel and DC. This could be a breakout book for both him and the publisher, Aftershock Comics, which is new to the scene but pulling in some big name creators for its books.
3. The Envelope Manufacturer
By Chris Oliveros
Last year Chris Oliveros, founder of the prestigious Montreal-based publisher Drawn & Quarterly, surprised the indie-comics world by stepping down from his role in the company to focus on making his own comics. Oliveros got into comics 25 years ago as a self-publishing cartoonist, and he now comes full circle with a self-published graphic novel (that will be distributed by Drawn & Quarterly) called The Envelope Manufacturer.
The book is about a small business owner dealing with the stress of staying afloat amidst a changing economic landscape, a subject that somewhat mirrors Oliveros' life and career. He began this book as a series of comics back in the early days of Drawn & Quarterly before getting caught up in the machinations of running a company. His first order of business after retiring from D&Q was to revisit and completely redraw it as a 104-page black-and-white graphic novel. Oliveros has a subtle, European-influenced cartooning style that is simpatico with the stable of D&Q cartoonists he has worked with in the past; just looking at the cover of this book brings to mind the entire history of that company.
4. Frank in the 3rd Dimension
By Jim Woodring
Jim Woodring has been making surreal, wordless comics starring Frank since the 1990s, and now he's taking the character to a new level with a 3D book called Frank in the 3rd Dimension. This 26-page hardcover promises a series of scenes that contain "150 layers per drawing in order to round and 'sculpt' each image into full, volumetric 3-D." In this age of digital comics, this is a book you will need to physically interact with in order to appreciate. At 63, Woodring is one of the great cartoonists to come out of the early days of Fantagraphics, and he is still prolific to this day, working with the publisher to bring his weird and innovative comics to life.


Template-independent DNA polymerase which catalyzes the random addition of deoxynucleoside 5'-triphosphate to the 3'-end of a DNA initiator. One of the in vivo functions of this enzyme is the addition of nucleotides at the junction (N region) of rearranged Ig heavy chain and T-cell receptor gene segments during the maturation of B- and T-cells.
This gene is a member of the DNA polymerase type-X familyand encodes a template-independent DNA polymerase that catalyzesthe addition of deoxynucleotides to the 3'-hydroxyl terminus ofoligonucleotide primers. In vivo, the encoded protein is expressedin a restricted population of normal and malignant pre-B and pre-Tlymphocytes during early differentiation, where it generatesantigen receptor diversity by synthesizing non-germ line elements(N-regions) at the junctions of rearranged Ig heavy chain and Tcell receptor gene segments. Alternatively spliced transcriptvariants encoding different isoforms of this gene have beendescribed.
