Why have profits and prices gone up and wages not kept pace?
One of the reasons is that decisions about investment and allocation of resources are made using profit potential is the dominant metric. This has been true for a very long time, and certainly has prevailed since the beginning of the industrial revolution and modern market driven capitalist economics.
With this metric there must be a market that supports prices that are higher than costs, and the costs must be minimized and this means that payroll / wages for workers are minimized. Investments get made when price minus cost shows there will be a profit ... but there is no equivalent calculation available for workers and their decisions about working.
Legislation about minimum wages and work place conditions do not change the underlying market forces. It is not at all clear whether macro-economic conditions drive micro-economic decisions or vice versa ... but it is clear that there has been a lot more success for for-profit companies during the last fifty years than there has been success for their workers!
Among the biggest challenges that many global and in-country payroll professionals face are the sheer complexity of local regulations and a lack of access to a single international payroll software system to help automate such complexity away ... But times are now starting to change.

Person 2 Woiwode, Tom (Versant Ventures 201404 before Synosis + Xenoport)
–VectivBio will focus on rare diseases with well-defined biology that can be targeted with transformational therapeutics–
–Key leaders from Therachon building another global, fully integrated company–
–Topline results for Phase 2 trials of lead product candidate, apraglutide for short bowel syndrome, expected by the end of the first quarter of 2020–
VectivBio, a clinical-stage biotechnology company bringing transformational medicines to patients with serious rare diseases, today announced its formation with $35 million in financing including commitments by Versant Ventures, OrbiMed, Novo Holdings, BPI France, Tekla Healthcare Investors, Inserm Transfer Initiative and Cowen Healthcare Investments. The new company is a spinout of Therachon Holding AG, which was acquired by Pfizer Inc. in 2019 for up to $810 million.
VectivBio is led by a world-class team with deep expertise in rare diseases and a track record of success in research and development, commercialization and business development for innovative products targeting orphan conditions. Therachon's former chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief medical officer and chief business officer will now be part of the VectivBio's executive team.
"We are thrilled to launch VectivBio and are committed to continue our quest of bringing transformational medicines to patients living with serious rare diseases," said Luca Santarelli, M.D., chief executive officer of VectivBio and former chief executive officer of Therachon. "Rare diseases remain an area of significant unmet medical need, where our team's proven track record and entrepreneurial mindset will enable us to have a positive impact."
"I am excited to continue to work with the former Therachon team," said Tom Woiwode, Ph.D., managing director at Versant Ventures and chairman of the board of directors at VectivBio. "Neglected conditions like short bowel syndrome represent tremendous opportunities to innovate and provide patients with much needed therapies, and with the support of our investors, the VectivBio team has all the expertise to advance our lead program, apraglutide, as a potential best-in-class treatment for this condition."
Apraglutide is a next-generation GLP-2 analog to treat short bowel syndrome (SBS). An estimated 35,000 people are thought to suffer from SBS in the U.S. and Europe. SBS results from extensive intestinal resection due to chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), acute events such as trauma, mesenteric infarction, bariatric surgery or congenital abnormalities. After surgical resection, the anatomy of the remnant intestine can vary significantly across patients, configuring a spectrum of SBS anatomical subtypes depending on remnant intestine length, presence of a stoma and the presence or absence of a functional colon. Patients with severe SBS require lifelong intravenous delivery of essential nutrients, referred to as parenteral support, for survival.
Apraglutide aims to increase the intestine's ability to absorb fluids and nutrients, thereby minimizing the burden of parenteral support. With a once-weekly dosing regimen, apraglutide is designed to have best-in-class properties with the goal of improving patients' quality of life and their ability to thrive. In addition, apraglutide's development program is designed to generate evidence of meaningful clinical benefit based on patients' underlying intestinal anatomy in order to enable a patient-tailored treatment approach.
About Short Bowel Syndrome
Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) results from extensive intestinal resection due to chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), acute events such as trauma, mesenteric infarction, bariatric surgery or congenital abnormalities. Symptoms of SBS include diarrhea, dehydration, malnutrition and weight loss. To survive, patients with severe forms of SBS require parenteral support (PS), the intravenous delivery of essential nutrients, calories and fluids. For some patients, PS must be delivered for 10 to 15 hours per day, a significant burden that severely diminishes quality of life. In addition, people receiving chronic PS are exposed to increased rates of liver disease, a condition known as intestinal failure-associated liver disease, and to an increased risk of infections due to the chronic presence of an infusion port positioned in a central vein. In addition to PS, GLP-2 analogs can be used to increase the intestine's ability to absorb fluids and nutrients taken orally. Depending on the SBS anatomical subtype, patients may display varying degrees of response to GLP-2 treatment, requiring patient-specific monitoring and PS adaptation across the SBS anatomical spectrum. An estimated 35,000 people are thought to suffer from SBS in the U.S. and Europe, of whom 15,000 require lifelong PS and may thus be candidates for treatment with GLP-2 analogs.
About Apraglutide
Apraglutide is designed to increase the intestine's ability to absorb nutrients and minimize the burden of parenteral support, thereby improving patients' quality of life and their ability to thrive. It is a next-generation, synthetic GLP-2 analog rationally designed to achieve an extended half-life with a synthetic manufacturing process, that has undergone extensive preclinical characterization and optimization. Topline results from two Phase 2 studies of apraglutide in SBS patients are expected by the end of the first quarter of 2020. Based on preclinical and clinical data to date, apraglutide has the potential to be a best-in-class treatment for SBS, designed for once-weekly dosing with the potential to address the needs of patients across the anatomical disease spectrum that characterizes SBS.
About VectivBio
VectivBio is a global, clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing transformational therapeutics to patients living with serious, rare diseases. The company is committed to pursuing rare diseases with well-defined biology that can be targeted with best-in-disease therapies that have the potential to meaningfully transform and improve the lives of patients and their families, not just provide an incremental improvement or benefit over the standard-of-care. VectivBio's lead program, apraglutide, is a next-generation GLP-2 analog for the treatment of short bowel syndrome (SBS).

New insight into why some individuals may be more aggressive than others
Fluctuations of serotonin levels in the brain, which often occur when someone hasn't eaten or is stressed, affects brain regions that enable people to regulate anger, new research from the University of Cambridge has shown.
Although reduced serotonin levels have previously been implicated in aggression, this is the first study which has shown how this chemical helps regulate behaviour in the brain as well as why some individuals may be more prone to aggression. The research findings were published today, 15 September, in the journal Biological Psychiatry.
For the study, healthy volunteers' serotonin levels were altered by manipulating their diet. On the serotonin depletion day, they were given a mixture of amino acids that lacked tryptophan, the building block for serotonin. On the placebo day, they were given the same mixture but with a normal amount of tryptophan.
The researchers then scanned the volunteers' brains using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as they viewed faces with angry, sad, and neutral expressions. Using the fMRI, they were able to measure how different brain regions reacted and communicated with one another when the volunteers viewed angry faces, as opposed to sad or neutral faces.
The research revealed that low brain serotonin made communications between specific brain regions of the emotional limbic system of the brain (a structure called the amygdala) and the frontal lobes weaker compared to those present under normal levels of serotonin. The findings suggest that when serotonin levels are low, it may be more difficult for the prefrontal cortex to control emotional responses to anger that are generated within the amygdala.
Using a personality questionnaire, they also determined which individuals have a natural tendency to behave aggressively. In these individuals, the communications between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex was even weaker following serotonin depletion. 'Weak' communications means that it is more difficult for the prefrontal cortex to control the feelings of anger that are generated within the amygdala when the levels of serotonin are low. As a result, those individuals who might be predisposed to aggression were the most sensitive to changes in serotonin depletion.
Neuroscience eBook
Dr Molly Crockett, co-first author who worked on the research while a PhD student at Cambridge's Behavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute (and currently based at the University of Zurich) said: "We've known for decades that serotonin plays a key role in aggression, but it's only very recently that we've had the technology to look into the brain and examine just how serotonin helps us regulate our emotional impulses. By combining a long tradition in behavioral research with new technology, we were finally able to uncover a mechanism for how serotonin might influence aggression."
Dr Luca Passamonti, co-first author who worked on the research while a visiting scientist at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit of the Medical Research Council in Cambridge (and currently based at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), Unit- di Ricerca Neuroimmagini, Catanzaro), said: "Although these results came from healthy volunteers, they are also relevant for a broad range of psychiatric disorders in which violence is a common problem. For example, these results may help to explain the brain mechanisms of a psychiatric disorder known as intermittent explosive disorder (IED). Individuals with IED typically show intense, extreme and uncontrollable outbursts of violence which may be triggered by cues of provocation such as a facial expression of anger.
"We are hopeful that our research will lead to improved diagnostics as well as better treatments for this and other conditions."

The AAS Heeds the Call of the Wild
With 1,225 registered participants, the AAS's 220th meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, last 10-14 June did not break the official attendance record for a summer meeting (1,350, Boston, May 2011), but it came close. Unofficially, the meeting almost certainly drew a record number of people. For one thing, many attendees brought their families along to experience the "Big Wild Life" that makes Alaska such a popular tourist destination. For another, two public lectures and a special student-outreach program attracted hundreds of visitors from the surrounding area. Whatever the final tally, the meeting was a huge success—both scientifically and logistically. The Dena'ina and William A. Egan Civic & Convention Centers were spacious and comfortable, the weather was pleasant most of the time, and the science program grabbed hold early Monday morning and did not let go till late Thursday afternoon.
Many attendees were surprised to learn that this was not the first AAS meeting in Alaska. The 114th meeting was held in College, outside Fairbanks, in July 1963. Given how much everyone at the 220th meeting enjoyed the venue and the conference, it is probably a safe bet that the Society will not wait a half century before returning to the Last Frontier for a third time.
The photos on these pages capture a small slice of the Anchorage meeting. They were shot by Imelda Joson and Edwin Aguirre, two of my former colleagues from Sky & Telescope. These and additional pictures will appear online in our Facebook and Picasa galleries. All photos are © 2012 Joson Images, courtesy AAS.

Short-acting testosterone appears to have lesser effect on male reproductive potential compared with long-acting testosterone in mice
Original Articles: Gamete Biology
To compare the effect of exogenous short-acting and long-acting testosterone on male reproductive potential in mice.
VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1, P46-52
Kevin Y. Chu, M.D., Shathiyah Kulandavelu, Ph.D., Thomas A. Masterson, M.D., Emad Ibrahim, M.D., Himanshu Arora, Ph.D., Ranjith Ramasamy, M.D.
In vivo mouse model.
University-based basic science research laboratory.
Animal(s)
A total of 30 wild-type C57BL/6 male and female mice were used for this experimentation. The male mice were used for the control group and testosterone supplementation, whereas both male and female mice were used for the breeding portion of the study.
Exogenous testosterone was administered either in short-acting formulation (Monday-Wednesday-Friday dosing schedule; testosterone propionate 0.2 mg/kg) or long-acting formulation (3-month dosing schedule; testosterone pellets 150 mg) to male mice.
Time to pregnancy, luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, and testicular weight.
Mice treated with long-acting testosterone appear to have longer time to pregnancy when compared with wild-type mice (33 ± 11 vs. 23 ± 2.6 days; P≤.05) and mice that received short-acting testosterone propionate (26 ± 5.9 days). Mice treated with long-acting testosterone had smaller testes weight when compared with control (0.08 ± 0.01 vs. 0.11 ± 0.01 g; P≤.01), whereas the short-acting testosterone-treated mice had similar testis weight when compared with control (0.09 ± 0.02 vs. 0.11 ± 0.01 g; not significant [NS]). The serum testosterone level was elevated in mice that received testosterone pellets (285.78 ng/dL) and testosterone propionate (122.16 ng/dL) versus control (68.4 ng/dL). In mice that received long-acting testosterone pellets, LH levels at 3 months were almost undetectable, whereas those that received short-acting testosterone remained similar to control (0.017 ± 0.058 vs. 0.348 ± 0.232 IU/L; P≤.01). Female reproductive potential parameters including litter size and pup weight were collected and observed to have no difference between groups.
Through a mouse-breeding study, mice that received short-acting testosterone were shown to have fertility potential similar to wild-type male mice. Long-acting exogenous testosterone appeared to impair male reproductive capacity and LH levels when compared with short-acting testosterone. Short-acting testosterone appeared to cause less LH suppression. Identifying strategies to increase testosterone while simultaneously preserving male fertility is important for treating young men with hypogonadism.


A key U.K. government official has explicitly said on record that Comcast has a lower regulatory bar to clear than rival Fox when it comes to purchasing satellite company Sky.
The lower bid tenured by 21st Century Fox is significantly more bogged down, with U.K. regulators concerned that the company and its controlling family, the Murdochs, control too much of the country's media. There is concern over the impact on 24-hour channel Sky News, given the reputation of the Murdochs, derived through a phone hacking scandal seven years ago, as well as the questionable "fair and balanced" coverage of Fox News in the U.S.
Hancock has issued an intervention for the bid provided by Fox, which is seeking to purchase the 61% of Sky that it doesn't already own.
Earlier this month, James Murdoch, who currently serves as chairman of the board for Sky Plc, called for a tough regulatory scrutiny of Comcast.

Is 'Duplicity' too smart for its own good?
By Steven Rosen on Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 2:06 pm
While it's my intention to not give away any crucial plot points about Duplicity in this commentary, you might want to see it before reading. It's eminently worth the ticket price, too — a relentlessly smart thriller of a con-game movie, certainly the best Hollywood movie of the still-young new year. But is it too smart for its own good?
We want smart mainstream Hollywood movies — at least we say we do. But maybe one reason we get so few is that they raise our expectations. Good screenwriting is incredibly hard because we see and fault even the most minor shortcomings. By contrast, in a more typically mediocre Hollywood product, we are grateful when there are good scenes, usually involving effective characters or snatches of resonant dialogue.
Duplicity is written and directed by Tony Gilroy. His father is Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Frank Gilroy (The Subject Was Roses), whose own film, 1971's Desperate Characters, is an overlooked gem about the angst of modern urban life.
Tony Gilroy once wrote a preposterously portentous supernatural thriller (1997's The Devil's Advocate) but then showed a knack for adding depth and intelligence to a genre film with 2000's Proof of Life, in which Russell Crowe tries to free a kidnapped American businessman from guerrillas in a Colombia-like South American country.
And Gilroy's somber, gritty, thought-provoking scripts for the revived Bourne movies — a clear retort to the crap that James Bond movies had become — are touchstones for this decade's more ambitious thrillers. Their success gave him the clout to write and direct 2007's Michael Clayton.
Ostensibly, Duplicity is more escapist than Michael Clayton, which was also a thriller but also overtly about corruption within America's big business firms and the fat-cat corporate law practices that do their bidding. That's one reason Michael Clayton was released during Oscar season while Duplicity came out in March.
Still, Duplicity does have a political point to make: Corporations (in this case consumer-goods manufacturers) pursue market advantage and industrial espionage with all the trickery of the CIA working double and triple agents to stage a coup.
I never bought Michael Clayton's final denouement — it felt stagy in a movie that otherwise seemed carefully realistic. But this one works … almost.
Duplicity begins with Clive Owen and Julia Roberts as government intelligence agents Ray and Claire — he British; she American. She sleeps with him in order to drug him and steal some information.
This establishes a cat-and-mouse relationship between the two as they both wind up leaving their governments and working in New York for the same corporation, Equikrom. That company uses her as a double agent — a mole placed inside the espionage unit of its chief rival, Burkett & Randle (and, yes, you can see where Procter & Gamble might have been an inspiration for Gilroy).
Ray and Claire have decided to work together — and maybe even fall in love with each other — and scam their employer. But maybe, just maybe, they're really scamming (and eavesdropping on) each other? It's sort of like The Thrill of it All meets The Conversation.
Not to recount the various plot tricks and, as Gilroy calls them, "story reversals," but the movie is as twisty as Bourne yet always light-on-its-feet breezy. A fine supporting cast that includes Paul Giamatti, Tom Wilkinson, Denis O'Hare, Kathleen Chalfant and Carrie Preston supports Owen and Roberts.
As it goes on, you start to get that every little thing counts; Gilroy allows no careless incongruities to interfere with our acceptance of the tricky storytelling. The film almost never lets you confidently get ahead of it — except once, if you're paying close attention. And since the movie encourages you to pay close attention, that's a problem.
Late in the movie, a Burkett & Randle espionage supervisor calls Claire — believing her a loyal employee — to the building because another employee has been caught trying to steal information about a new product from a super-secret file. That file, unopened, sits on a desk while the supervisor leaves the room while Claire guards the traitorous employee. That's the break she's been waiting for to steal the info.
But wait: This company is cautious — make that paranoid — about protecting its information. It seems odd that the supervisor would leave it there for even a second. It's not in keeping with his behavior and the corporate culture.
In a lesser movie, we'd just chalk that up to the screenwriter conveniently overlooking something, either accidentally or intentionally, to make the plot work. But so far Gilroy hasn't overlooked anything. Why now, at such an important juncture? Could it be intentional?
Maybe film schools should teach their students the perils of being too smart. People start to anticipate and expect your high standards, which makes it hard to let a plot point or two slide. On the other hand, it's a nice problem to have. Better than a dumb movie.

MAC is pleased to present What / If / Then, an exhibition of works by Beth Campbell and Christina P. Day.
Campbell and Day play with the structural underpinnings of reality.
Campbell's investigations call to mind the Many World Interpretation of quantum mechanics, where all possible states are real, existing in parallel worlds - in other words, if it could happen, it is happening. Her drawings, sculptures and videos often center on protagonists in the middle of a decision tree running forwards and backwards in time, with all possible outcomes presented simultaneously.
Day often works by distilling familiar objects to their essence, and then distorting, refracting, doubling or transforming the objects in subtle ways. The resulting works fit into this universe uncomfortably. Pattern recognition, which we depend on to interpret the world, and which instantaneously identifies so much of what surrounds us, stumbles and stutters when encountering Day's objects.
Known for her drawings, sculpture, and architectural interventions, Beth Campbell creates works that challenge the notion of a physical world beyond our perception. Drawing upon philosophy, phenomenology and psychology, Campbell choreographs spaces, crafts uncanny objects, and maps thought processes.
For this exhibition Campbell will present works from her Lamp series, made during a John Michael Kohler Arts Center residency, drawings from her Future Past series, and her Mobiles.
Campbell's commissioned projects include Following Room at the Whitney Museum of Art (2007) and Following Room (Trento) atManifesta 7, Trento, Italy (2008); Potential Store Fronts for the Public Art Fund, New York (2007). Recent solo exhibitions include Seomi Gallery, South Korea; Country Club, Chicago; The Sculpture Center, Cleveland OH; Country Club Projects at the Buck House, Los Angeles, and Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery, New York. Other museum exhibitions include the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Carnegie Museum of Art, Greater New York, PS1 Contemporary Art Center, White Columns, the Drawing Room, London, and the Tang Museum, Saratoga Springs NY. Her work is included in collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (2011), a Louis Comfort Tiffany Memorial Fellowship (2009); and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2006). She has been an artist-in-residence at John Michael Kohler Arts Center (2009); the Lower East Side Printshop (2006); and Dieu Donné (2003), among others. Campbell was born in 1971 in Illinois; she lives and works in New York.
Christina Day shifts between drawing, drafting and building and is inspired by the poetry of time captured in found material. She frequently returns to 'match finding' - both literally, in how repeat patterns link into one another or how two walls join on a corner, and artistically when two objects of the same make are found in different places at different times by chance. Day is interested in staging uncanny installations that heighten a viewer's sense of what may seem familiar, but is distorted out of context.
For this exhibition Day will present several of her sculptures, including Splint, Side by Side and four of her Letterpress Poems.
Day lives and works in Philadelphia, PA. Her sculptural and photographic work has been shown around the United States and abroad in Germany and South Korea since 1999. She is an alumna of the University of the Arts (BFA, Crafts/Fibers '99) and Cranbrook Academy of Art (MFA, Fiber '06). She has participated as a Resident Artist at Sculpture Space (2008), the Vermont Studio Center (2011), the first Haystack Open Studio Residency at the Haystack Mountain School of Craft (2013) and at RAIR in Philadelphia (2015). She is a former member of the NAPOLEON artist collective (2012-2016) and is a Knight Arts Challenge grant winner and participant for the CITYWIDE: A Collective Exhibition project, held in 2013. She teaches as an Adjunct Professor in the Crafts/Fiber Program at The University of the Arts (Philadelphia, PA) and will be a Full Time Professor of Fiber for the 2016-2017 academic year at the Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore, MD). She has written articles both on her own work and in critique of others for Architecture and Ideas, based out of Carleton University (Canada) and Textile: Journal of Cloth and Culture (Oxford, UK).

The Editorial Team at AtopicDermatitis.net is highlighting people in the eczema community and their healing journeys in a series of Instagram Interviews. We talked to Zai, aka @tsw_beezeebuzz, also known as IAmBeeZee on YouTube. Zai shares her eczema story, and how posting skin updates and wearing makeup has helped her cope and feel more confident.
I have suffered from eczema all my life. My mum said the doctors started me on steroids when I was about 6 months old. My eczema fluctuated through my life, I did have times of almost normal skin but ultimately I always had eczema. When I turned 21, my whole body broke out in really sore, itchy, angry looking eczema and I had no idea what caused it. I went to the doctors for more steroids and it eventually cleared after a few months.
Since then, I really started limiting my steroid use, only using it on affected areas but also mixing it with my moisturisers to dilute it, but over time, my eczema kept getting worse. It started popping up on my face and was sore all the time. The creams weren't working no matter how often I applied and that's when I found out about topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). I stopped my steroid creams cold turkey on November 6th 2017, and have been healing ever since.
Editorial Team: What is one thing you wish you knew before starting TSW?
Zai: The only reason I stopped using steroids was because someone made a comment on a video I made about eczema. Prior to this I had NO idea that my medication could make my skin worse. I wish doctors would tell patients that long term use of steroids is not only bad for your health but its also not necessary, it just seems to be a first and final resort for all skin conditions. I wish I knew about the long term side effects from using those creams and not only the short term benefits.
I also wished I was more prepared. I received the comment and the very next day I stopped using the creams so I didn't have time to plan for the months of pain, I was literally learning as I went along. I really wasn't ready for the physical and emotional stress I went through, I just did it because I had no other choice since the steroids were no longer working for me.
Editorial Team: How has posting skin updates on YouTube and Instagram impacted your healing journey?
Zai: I was never that person who would talk about or show my skin. Growing up I would also cover my hands and chose longer sleeves to hide. Making videos about eczema and documenting my journey is really out of my comfort zone, but it's been the best thing I've ever done.
There are only 2 people that I know that have eczema so the vast majority of my friends and family can not relate to what I'm going through. Posting online has connected me to so many people it's unbelievable. I was also someone who wore make up every single day, never confident in my skin, but I have posted videos and pictures of my bare face, with my scars I've developed from going through withdrawal and I'm not ashamed.
It's cathartic talking about my condition rather than hiding it. I feel so humbled when people say that I give them hope or that I'm brave for doing what I do. I'm not, but I think if I had someone to look up to when I was younger, I may not have been so ashamed of my skin.
Editorial Team: Some may say that it is best to avoid makeup with eczema. How has makeup helped you maintain an active life during TSW?
Zai: I will always be a make up girl, and for the most part make up gave me my confidence, which is usually seen as a bad thing. However, I don't use make up as a mask in that sense, more like a support. Everyone just wants to look normal and I guess thats what I used it for. I have never been allergic to make up so I used it to my advantage.
When I started withdrawal though, my skin was too scaly, sore and irritated to wear make up. I went 6 months make up free just because I honestly looked worse with it on and it was quite refreshing to go out bare faced (except for eyebrows!). When my skin was it its worst, I found myself not making eye contact with people and only leaving the house when I really had to but as my skin improved, that insecurity lessened, even without wearing make up so I began to really appreciate my skin.
Editorial Team: Anything else you'd like to add?
Zai: I have noticed the majority of people I follow with skin related accounts are female. I do hope the men out there are not suffering in silence and also people of darker complexions, like myself. We tend to scar a lot more than fairer people so its an added hurdle we have to overcome.
I just hope that eczema becomes less of an unspoken topic and also not seen as something that is "just a skin rash". I want people to realised the full impact of eczema from not being to eat certain foods because of allergies, not being able to wear the clothes you want, nasty comments from strangers or just the feelings of isolation, thinking you're the only one going through this – you're not. We're all in this together!

We have a MS SQL Server database that has what we refer to as extended ascii characters in it. We also refer to them internally as special characters. The database collation is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and the data type is of "Text".
When we pull these data over to Hadoop vis Sqoop, we end up with black diamonds with question marks mixed into the data. Here are examples of what the data look like in SQL server, Impala/Hive editors in Hue and the Impala Shell. Notice the diamonds with question marks mixed into the data on the Hadoop side.
What we're thinking is happening is that somehow we're not successfully telling Sqoop that the character set we're pulling in is not UTF-8. Or something like that.
We're not 100% sure what this is doing, but we've tried to look for something like this MySQL setting 'characterEncoding=UTF-8', but haven't found anything similar on the MS SQL JDBC connection string.
Any advice of things we should look at?

More regulation of payday loans in Texas is currently being considered by the Texas Legislature. Multiple bills have been introduced that would alter how the payday loan business operates. A Senate committee considered a bill that would prevent companies from charging fees to arrange short-term consumer loan. Similar legislation is also pending in the House.
Payday loan regulation, such as the bills in the Texas legislature, would effectively curtail a payday lender's ability to collect fees for short-term loans, which the lenders rely on for their source of income. While this is seen as potentially damaging legislation for the lenders who provide these loans, many consumer advocates see it as a solid step in the right direction to prevent misinformation and poor lending practices.
What Is a "Payday Loan"?
The Federal Trade Commission describes how a payday lender functions: A borrower writes a personal check payable to the lender for the amount the person wants to borrow, plus the fee they must pay for borrowing. The company gives the borrower the amount of the check less the fee, and agrees to hold the check until the loan is due, usually the borrower's next payday.
The fees on these loans can be a percentage of the face value of the check, or they can be based on increments of money borrowed: say, a fee for every $50 or $100 borrowed. The borrower is charged new fees each time the same loan is extended or "rolled over."
A payday loan - that is, a cash advance secured by a personal check or paid by electronic transfer - is very expensive line of credit or loan. For example, if you borrow $100 for two weeks, a fee of $15 to $20 is charged. You write a personal check for $115, your $100 loan and the $15 fee for the loan.
The payday lender agrees to hold your personal check until your next payday. When that day comes around, either the lender deposits the check and you redeem it by paying the $115 in cash, or you roll-over the loan and are charged $15 more to extend the financing for 14 more days.
Most consumers don't think of $15 or $20 as a great deal of money. Payday lenders take advantage of the seemingly "small" amount of the fee, but they know it makes for an astronomical interest rate on a short-term, small loan. If you have to roll-over the loan three times, the finance charge would climb to $60 to borrow the $100 for six weeks.
Putting Payday Lenders Out of Business?
The consumer service organizations (CSO) that represent payday lenders have cried foul, claiming most of their customers are satisfied. They allege that the pending bill in Texas would put them out of business.
The Houston Chronicle story notes that State Sen. Wendy Davis, author of one of the bills, denied she's trying to run the lenders out of business. "It's an issue of making sure that vulnerable people are not preyed upon in a predatory way," Davis said. "I'm hearing from people who are finding themselves literally in a debtors' prison as a consequence of these loans."
Many debtors who use payday loans when they are in a bind often find themselves swirling in debt and hounded by creditors. Some consumers are even forced to turn to bankruptcy after relying on payday loans to fund financial emergencies due to the high rates, however.
Further criticism prompting this legislation is also the notion that payday lenders take advantage of uneducated individuals who are experiencing financial difficulty. Without industry regulation, those who are in desperate need of money are forced to turn to payday lenders who charge the astronomical fees for small loans.
The CSOs, on the other hand, argue that they don't prey on poorly educated individuals. One company's website said typical cash-advance customers come from "college-educated, middle-income families" facing unexpected financial emergencies. "Contrary to the picture painted by the mainstream media, payday loans are not a ticket to bankruptcy or long-term financial problems," the Ace website states. "They are simply a convenient way to help you hold on until payday arrives."
Are Payday Loans a Treadmill to Debt?
Because CSOs are not currently regulated, like other lenders or banks, they have no limits on the fees and interest rates they can charge. Once they have a person hooked, the excessive fees can make it very difficult to pay the loan off. Payday loans are similar to credit card debt - it can be exceptionally difficult to pay the due amount in full when the fees keep adding up - but the fees are an even greater percentage of the loan than credit card interest fees.
This traps some consumers on a repeating pattern of having to keep rolling-over the loan, driving the annual rates ever higher. Eventually, the rates often become so overwhelming that consumers file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy to find relief.
The Texas bills that seek to regulate payday loans appear to have a broad range of support in this session of the legislature. Last session, similar bills were introduced, but died in committee. Tim Morstad, associate state director for AARP Texas said in the article the issue "has moved up our priority list this year because it is such a growing problem, too many people are getting stuck in the treadmill of debt and these lenders are completely un-accountable."
If you have fallen prey to the aggressive lending tactics of payday lenders and need financial respite, filing for bankruptcy may be an option to stop creditor harassment and secure a fresh start for your finances. A knowledgeable Texas bankruptcy lawyer will be able to help you evaluate your options and assist you in filing for bankruptcy, if necessary.


Today's series of attacks are the latest in a chain of fatal assaults on Egyptian security forces, especially in the north of the Sinai Peninsula. The fact that the terrorist militia ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks highlights once more the terrorist group's ruthless willingness to use violence for its ends. The German Government condemns the series of attacks in the Sinai Peninsula in the strongest possible terms. Our thoughts and heartfelt sympathy are with those whose loved ones have been murdered and with the Egyptian people.

Marcia Cross Gets Real About Her Anal Cancer and the 'Shame' That Surrounds It
Erin Migdol
Actress Marcia Cross knows how difficult it can be to talk about certain kinds of cancer, so she's speaking up about her experience with anal cancer in hopes of easing the stigma.
The "Desperate Housewives" and "Melrose Place" actress told People magazine Wednesday that she wants to "put a dent" in the shame many people feel about anal cancer, which is diagnosed in more than 8,000 people in the U.S. each year. Cross was diagnosed in 2017 after her annual gynecological exam.
"I've read a lot of cancer-survivor stories, and many people, women especially, were too embarrassed to say what kind of cancer they had. There is a lot of shame about it. I want that to stop," Cross said.
After her diagnosis, Cross was treated with radiation and chemotherapy. She spoke frankly about the awkwardness of rectal exams and how she tried to find the humor in the situation.
"In the beginning, I just sort of lay down for the parting of the cheeks and I would float away," she said. "Because what are you going to do?"
Now that she's post-cancer, Cross said she has found a new appreciation for her body — as she says, "Having woken up to its importance, I am now a big fan of the anus!"
"Every time I go to the bathroom, I think, 'That's awesome! Thank you, body,'" she said.
Cross first went public with her cancer in 2018, when she posted a photo on Instagram of her hair loss.
"So grateful and happy to be alive but sad that my hair fell out and is about 1 inch long now and looks cra cra. Anyone else have #hairloss due to #cancer? Talk to me. I feel you," she wrote.

She followed that up with a post explaining that after opening up about cancer, she feels "liberated, deliriously free and completely me."

Symptoms of anal cancer include bleeding, itching, pain, lump or mass, changes in bowel movements and swollen lymph nodes in the anal or groin areas. The five-year relative survival rate is 82 percent for those who were diagnosed before their cancer could spread outside the anal area.
Opening up about cancer can be tough, and people with cancers associated with "embarrassment" may have unique emotions to grapple with. Mighty contributor Gail Payne wrote that after her colon cancer diagnosis she thought she wanted to keep the news to herself until a friend convinced her that telling more people would give her an even bigger circle of support. She wrote:
She said I had a whole army of friends out there who would want to send prayers, love and support that could only serve to help me, not hurt me. Keeping it to myself, and then perhaps telling people after it was all over, would only serve to mask the true me to my friends. The more I thought about Carol's words, the more I realized she was right.
Erin is the former senior editor and chronic illness editor of The Mighty. She joined The Mighty in 2015 and previously worked at Inside Weddings magazine, Mic, and The Huffington Post. She was also the features editor at The California Aggie, UC Davis' student newspaper. She is honored to be a part of the Mighty community!

SHLA Wins Competition to Design a New Residential Development in the Heart of Aarhus' Cultural Centre
Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects won the competition to design a new residential development in the heart of Aarhus' cultural centre. 'Valdemars Have' is an urban residential block nestled amongst the cultural and green heart of Aarhus, the second largest city of Denmark. It's a vision for how to create good living conditions for people who want to be part of the city and want the city to be part of their lives.
Resting on a sloping terrain in a tranquil location within walking distance of Aarhus' major cultural attractions, Valdemars Have will become a prime location for those seeking an oasis of calm within the bustling city. The project comprises of 106 apartments of varying size, from 2-bedroom flats to large penthouses with private roof terraces. It adapts to the city's character and soul exploiting the site's exceptional values and creating a unique public urban garden.
The architecture is a modern version of the old red brick townhouses. By conscious use of the masonry pattern, the facades, windows and balconies achieve a playful and vivid appearance without the use of traditional ornamentation. The colour variation of the brick, from light red to almost black, revives the building's image and gives it soul. The green façade gives the project a unique look and enhances the experience of a building "planted" within a garden, where the landscape and the green elements give character and identity to the building. The neighbouring Brobjerg school with its ivy covered brick exterior, was a clear reference influencing Valdemars Have. Both of these qualities ensure a subtle connection to the former buildings bringing new qualities to the site and neighbourhood.
The building volumes are laid as two east-west volumes in six levels. Towards the neighbouring street Valdemarsgade and the former military hospital, the building lowers to four levels and adjust to the surrounding scale. The building layout ensures the penetration of optimal daylight in all directions. The existing path connections along the north side are replaced by promenades, ensuring a new public exploration to Valdemarsgade from Lønvejen.
The publicly accessible outdoor areas will maintain a garden-like character with a variety of plants and flowers, which helps to achieve biodiversity and a microclimate ensuring residents have an experience of nature within the city as well as peaceful common outdoor areas.

«Коупенс» () — легкий авіаносець США типу «Індепенденс».

Історія створення
Закладений 17 грудня 1941 року як крейсер типу «Клівленд» () під назвою «Хантінгтон» (). Спущений на воду 17 січня 1943 року. 27 березня 1943 року перезамовлений як авіаносець і тоді ж перейменований на «Коупенс» (на честь битви під Коупенсом). Вступив у стрій 28 травня 1943 року.

Історія служби

Друга світова війна
Увійшов до складу Тихоокеанського флоту США у вересні 1943 року (авіагрупа CVGL-25). Брав участь у нальотах на Вейк (5-6.10.1943), Трук (29-30.04.1944), забезпеченні висадки десанту на Острови Гілберта (13.11-8.12.1943), Маршаллові Острови (29.01-26.02.1944).

Атакував японські бази на островах Палау (30.03-01.04.1944). Забезпечував висадку десантів на островах Нової Гвінеї (21-29.04.1944) та на Маріанські острови (11-23.06.1944).

19-20 червня 1944 року брав участь в битві у Філіппінському морі. 30 липня 1944 року прийняв авіагрупу CVGL-22, після чого забезпечував висадку на Західні Каролінські острови (28.08-24.09.1944), атакував японські аеродроми на островах Рюкю, Формоза та Лусон (10-19.10.1944). Брав участь у битві в затоці Лейте, в ході якої літаки з авіаносця потопили японський крейсер «Носіро» (26.10.1944). Атакував аеродроми на островах Лусон (11-18.12.1944). 18 грудня 1944 року, перебуваючи на схід від Філіппін, отримав штормові пошкодження та повернувся в Уліті.

Після ремонту брав участь в рейді на японські бази на островах Формоза, Рюкю, Лусон, в Індокитаї та Гонконгу (30.12.1944-22.01.1945). 6 лютого 1945 року прийняв авіагрупу CVGL-45. Завдавав ударів по Токіо, Йокогамі, забезпечував висадку на Іодзіму (11.02-02.03.1945).

Q: Why two bindings to the same function return different values When binding a function to the same context, the resulting reference is different every time.

function foobar() {
    return 1;
}

var foo = foobar.bind(this);
var bar = foobar.bind(this);

console.log(foo === bar); // Nope

*

*Does that code copy the function every time?

*Wouldn't there be any benefit in caching that behavior?

*Is it implementation specific?

*Or is it specified somewhere in ecmascript specification?

A: Yes the Function.prototype.bind() creates a new function every time.

A:
Does that code copy the function every time?

Whether or not it copies the original function is an implementation detail of the underlying JS engine.
The return value of bind is a new function, and you'll get a new one each time you call bind.

Wouldn't there be any benefit in caching that behavior?

There might be a mild performance gain to be had in caching the resulting function, but probably not enough to worry about unless you are generating hundreds of bound copies of the same function. Beware of premature optimization.

An End to Postal Deliveries at Customers' Front Doors?
e-Commerce Bytes--Just when you thought it couldn't get worse for small online sellers when it comes to shipping orders to their customers, along comes a congressman from California.
Many small businesses who sell online in lower volumes than their bigger counterparts find services from the U.S. Postal Service cheaper than other carriers. Sellers are continually worried about the impact of higher shipping costs on their ecommerce businesses. And they are already facing the possibility of an end to Saturday delivery. Read more!

Q: Iterate over group of array and separate the output by number of iterations My code currently creates a new array for each value separated by a comma in a string.
I am trying to iterate over the values in the inner array of results using results.length as the iterator counter, but I need to separate the output of each iteration. I have used  a forEach inside a conventional for loop to iterate over the values but that does not provide desired outcome, it groups all the values together. The input string could contain any combination of strings grouped by any number of values therefore I must be generic in approach.
Data Structure
    [
      ["abc","def"],["ghi", "jkl"]
    ]

Input String:  "abc def, ghi jkl"
Current Output Console Log1: abc def, ghi jkl
Desired Output Console Log1: "abc" "def"
Desired Output Console Log2: "ghi" "jkl"
I am trying to iterate over this

var s = "abc def, ghi jkl";

var result = s.split(',').map(a=>a.trim().split(' '));
console.log(result);
for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++){
  result.forEach(a => {
  console.log(a[i]);
// console.log(a // should be i ++ and so on until i = results.length
});
}

A: Is this what you are looking for?

var s = "abc def, ghi jkl";

let data = s.split(",").map(d => d.trim().split(" "));

data.forEach(d => {
  console.log(d.join(" "));
})

A: You are iterating the second array with index from first one.
Try this:

    var s = "abc def, ghi jkl";
    var result = s.split(',').map(a=>a.trim().split(' '));

    result.forEach(innerArray => innerArray.forEach(a => console.log(a)));

A: Are you looking for something like this?

const arr = [
  ["abc", "def"],
  ["ghi", "jkl"]
];

arr.forEach(([word1, word2]) => console.log(word1, word2))

A: Is this what you're trying to achieve? You will be able to log the first array then the second and so on...

*

*abc

*def

*ghi

*jkl

This is the code to output this:
const s = 'abc def, ghi jkl';
const result = s.split(',').map(a => a.trim().split(' '));

for (let i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
  for (let p = 0; p < result[i].length; p++) {
    console.log(result[i][p]);
  }
}

A:

var s = [["abc","def"],["ghi", "jkl"]]

for(i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
  console.log(s[i].toString().split(',').join(' '))
}

log 1 ----> abc def
log 2 ----> ghi jkl

A: I believe you want something like this:
var s = "abc def, ghi jkl, fgt tps fll"

to become something like this:
[
"abc",
"def",
"ghi",
"jkl",
"fgt",
"tps",
"fll"
]

In that case you can you use the code below:
var result = s.split(',').map(a=>a.trim().split(' '))

const newTab = []
// for every array inside your first array do
result.forEach( tab => {
  // for every element of the inner array do
  tab.forEach( el => {
    // push every element into a new array
    newTab.push(el)
  })
})

console.log(newTab)

Astronaut And Innovation Icon Neil Armstrong Passes Away At 82
Chris Velazco	@chrisvelazco / 8 years
NBC News reports that astronaut and icon Neil Armstrong passed away earlier today due to complications from a heart-bypass operation he underwent a few weeks ago. He was 82.
Though his merits were many, Armstrong was best known for one thing. On that fateful day back in July 1969, with the eyes of history watching, he clambered down the ladder on the front leg of the Lunar Module "Eagle" to become the first man to set foot on the Moon.
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," he said. Though Apollo 11 was his first and only Moon mission, the events of that day and those words would follow him for the rest of this life.
In that moment, Armstrong became more than just a man — he became a symbol of ingenuity and the drive of the human race. He, along with Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin, proved to half a billion people back on earth (and countless others in the years to come) that the potential for mankind to reach for ever-higher heights was perhaps limitless.
A piece like this may seem a bit out of place on a site like TechCrunch, but the amazing technical achievements that went into putting not only Armstrong, but Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad, Al Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, Dave Scott, James Irwin, John Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan, and Harrison Schmitt on the moon can't be overlooked. There's no shortage of devices and products that were born from space age innovations, but perhaps more importantly, walking on the Moon inspired a generation of people to pursue engineering and the sciences.
And Armstrong was first. Of his brief time spent exploring the surface of another heavenly body, Armstrong had this to say:
"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small."
You may have felt small, Mr. Armstrong, but rest assured — you were a giant to the rest of us. Godspeed.
