Family Keeps Fighting for Change After Son's Death
"We don't want anybody else to ever go through this kind of thing after losing anyone in their family, especially their child," said Antonee Harris.

For the last three months, a Lemon Grove family has been fighting to make San Miguel Avenue safer following the death of 13-year-old Trevon Harris.
"We don't want anybody else to ever go through this kind of thing after losing anyone in their family, especially their child," said Antonee Harris, Trevon's father.
Trevon's parents said there's loose gravel, pot holes and speeding cars on San Miguel Avenue making it dangerous for students and children near San Miguel Elementary school.
"Neighbors have complained and nothing's changed," said Antonee about San Miguel Avenue.
On Thursday dozens of neighbors, family, and friends of Trevon gathered inside Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church to share their pleas.
"Our hurt that another parent, another family will have to go through what we have gone through and for something that could have been done prior too," lamented Tanya Harris, Trevon's mother.
Trevon was hit and killed while crossing San Miguel Avenue feet away from San Miguel Elementary School in early May.
"We want the city to put in some counter measures like speed bumps or even solar signs that say slow down, that way to bring more awareness to the situation," said Antonee.
Tanya has attended City Council meetings and hired an attorney in order to push Lemon Grove City officials to take action.
"As one of Lemon Grove's own they should do something and get justice for Trevon," said Tanya.
The city of Lemon Grove told NBC 7 they have no comment on this due to possible litigation.
"We're making sure that Trevon, his wishes are to protect his brother and protect other children," said Tanya.
The family also wants more answers from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
The sheriff's department told NBC 7 the investigation is now complete and closed.
"This was a tragic accident and our thoughts and prayers are with the Harris family," wrote Lt. Justin White, Media Relations Director for the Sheriff's department. "The collision investigator interviewed witnesses in this case who stated the pedestrian slipped or fell while running into the roadway. Based on those statements and the evidence collected during the investigation it was determined the driver was not at fault."
The family's attorney, David Speckman, said he has issues with the department's findings.
"I mean how many children does it take to be hit, how many instances do you have to have happen before you change something," said Antonee.
NBC 7 reached out to the Lemon Grove School District about their thoughts on adding speed bumps to San Miguel Avenue.
The school district said: "We defer to the City officials and emergency responders, such as the Sheriff's department and Heartland Fire, to determine if speed bumps are an option to be installed in the vicinity of San Miguel Elementary School."

Tying the Knot With Michael Gabrielle
Michael is an artist working in rope and fiber art, woodworking, and illustration, based in Providence, Rhode Island. He likes to make beautiful things that maybe we don't need but feel happy to have. Find him on:Instagram or atmichaelgabrielle.com
Tell us a little about your creative journey – how you got to the work you're doing.
I've always loved to knit and crochet - my grandma taught me when I was little - and I started making macrame and rope art about a year and a half ago when a boy I was dating sent me a photo of a wall-hanging and asked if I could crochet something similar for him for Christmas. While I was making that first piece, I remember thinking "oh geez, I will NEVER do this again" - it was tedious, I had blisters and rope burn up and down my wrists and fingers, and then the boy and I broke up and I was like dang, well that was a bust. I decided to give it another go though, and I eventually found the beauty in the process - there's a meditative repetition in tying thousands of knots. Since then I've mostly been working on commissions, facilitating workshops, and looking for new opportunities to make big work and installations. My wrists and fingers are still all fucked up and callused and burned, but you get used to it after a while.
Was there a moment in time when you you realized you were an artist?
I'd say my first large-scale installation was when I was maybe 6 or 7, when I took a hot pink permanent marker and drew one long, squiggly, zig-zagging line all along the white walls of my house, starting in my bedroom and making my way through the halls, down the stairs, over the cabinets and drawers and circling around the living room a few times before getting caught pink-handed (luckily my parents and I can laugh about it today, it was a sore subject for a while). I'm honestly still working on being totally comfortable calling myself an artist, but confidence is something we work on building every day, right?
Is there a relationship between your identity (queer/gender/otherwise) and the work you make?
As a queer person living with mental illness I've spent a lot of my life hating myself, secretly carrying tiny galaxies of shame and pain.I have struggled with my mental health - depression, anxiety, eating disorders - for almost as long as I can remember, at times in very serious ways, and still every day I have to take up the challenge to take care of myself. One of the ways I do that (along with lots of walks and a bunch of therapy) is through making art. I have a lot of big feelings, and the meditative, meticulous nature of my art helps me create space to sit with those feelings in a way that feels safe.I make art that is gentle, filled with teeny reminders to pause and breathe; art that asks you to get lost for a moment; art that is sometimes painful to make but is worth it in the end.
For a long time, I was scared to be alone with myself. Spending hours in my studio knotting and tying, drilling and detailing, mindfully, mindlessly making has been a lesson in learning to love myself, to be okay by myself.Often, my art comes out of deep, dark times and deeply sad places, but I've been learning how to make art from a place of love, too.
Tell us about an exciting and/or new work/project/thing you're working on; how did it originate? How is it related to other work you've done?
I've been flirting with some new ideas that I'm excited (and nervous) to dive into - mainly, combining macrame, aerial arts, and rope bondage to make some weird performances/installations/photographs. I love being in the air - I used to teach lyra + acrobatics for an aerial arts club - and the whole idea of being tied up is drenched in trust, vulnerability, and sensuality in a way that gets me all tingly just thinking about it - such a beautiful and terrifying array of feelings! Right now I only have sketches and ideas, so we'll see if anything blooms - though I think the fact that I'm putting it out into the universe means that I sort of have to do it now. Fluide fam, hold me accountable on this project!!
What is next for you? Do you have any hopes, dreams, plans you are excited about?
Dreams! Dreaming of: attending artist residencies; writing a weird book; traveling to and kissing boys in different states and on different continents. That's mostly it right now.
What is inspiring to you right now – other makers/artists/musicians/ideas/cultural trends?
I'm thinking a lot about the ways we tell stories. I'm right now readingWhat The Living Do, poems by Marie Howe that hurt, that are fucking with me in the best way possible, andThe Lonely City by Olivia Laing which is maybe one of the most important books I've ever read. I also can't stop thinking about the David Wojnarowicz exhibition at the Whitney calledHistory Keeps Me Awake at Night -Wojnarowicz was a queer artist who made so many things, he made everything, before he died of AIDS complications in the early 90s. He funneled his rage and all this passion into his art to give voice and visibility to the HIV/AIDS crisis and the challenges of being a queer person existing in a straight society//with a government that's trying to erase you. The show is absolutely stunning, violent and beautiful and overwhelmingly heartbreaking - if you're in NYC in the next few months, definitely go check it out.
Who are your fashion/beauty icons? Whose look inspires you?
Picture this: Ilana from Broad City in her tiny red zip-up meets that one time Lenny Kravitz wore a whole-ass afghan as a scarf, meets Lena Waithe at the 2018 Met Gala. Does that make sense??
What was your first "makeup moment" and what do you wear today?
When I was little, I didn't understand who I was and didn't see anyone else like me. I used to try on my mom's makeup in secret, feeling all sorts of overwhelming shame and excitement. Today, makeup for me is another way to express myself and show the world I'm not afraid to love myself. I'm all about glitter everything - cheeks, lips, neck, everywhere. It makes me laugh when people say they don't like glitter because "it gets all over the place and you can't get rid of it" because duh, that's the whole damn point. I have a theory that everyone looks better with a little glitter and so far I haven't found any evidence that proves me wrong. ⚡
I just seen your work for the first time today. Your work is exquisite and you touched me with your words. You remind me of myself feeling such deep emotions, for years I couldn't work out why I felt so up and down and so deeply emotional. Now I know its because I'm an empath. If only I'd known that years ago. Thank you for encouraging me by your own fears. I've just started macrame and love it. I love your work and your inspiration. You are a beautiful soul. Be YOU always. NEVER change!! Blessings ❤❤

As we learned last week, Amber Portwood is pregnant with her second child.
Fortunately, she's not expecting a child by Matt Baier, the notorious deadbeat whom she very nearly married earlier this year.
Sadly, her new boyfriend, Andrew Glennon, has problems of his own.
And by that we mean the guy is basically a walking red flag.
We've told you about Glennon's sketchy past before, but the situation basically gets uglier with every new revelation.
Andrew is a producer on Marriage Boot Camp. He met Amber while she and Matt Baier were appearing on the show to work on their ailing relationship.
2. An Abuser of Power?
Portwood and Glennon began their relationship immediately after Baier stormed off the MBC set. The timing has led many to question if Andrew abused his position of power and seduced Amber while she was still with Matt.
3. Matt Baier on Andrew Glennon: He's Sketchy!
One of the people who doubts Andrew's sincerity and authenticity is Matt Baier. Obviously, Baier is a bit biased … but he's also an expert on shady characters.
Unlike Baier, Glennon is gainfully employed. But he was also born with a consideradle leg up. He's both the son AND grandson of famed Hollywood cinematographers.
Glennon has a history of engaging in threatening behavior with the women in his life. And the police have gotten involved on more than one occasion.

The Wyndham Charitable Trust is a small UK-based grant-making charity (registered number 259313), which is a member of Association of Charitable Foundations and is regulated by The Charity Commission. It was established in 1969 with a settlement of £1 (yes, one GBP). The expense ratio of the Trust, genuinely, is NIL. Not one of the other 198,000 or so charities can improve on that!
One of the chief interests of the Trust is helping to bring about the elimination of modern-day slavery. Currently, about 27 million children, women, and men are enslaved. They are held by force or threat of force and are unable to escape.
This can range from girls and women being trafficked for forced prostitution to bonded labor where, from one generation to another, children are enslaved as a result of their parents' 'debts'. The leading agency in this field is the old-established charity Anti-Slavery International.
The Trust does not make 'restricted' grants - which specify how the recipient charity may use the funds.
Where it provides funds, the Trust believes the charity's trustees should be free to decide how to put such funds to best use.
A way of helping is to arrange to make on-line purchases through the easyfundraising portal. Click on Easyfundraising and you will be taken straight through. When signing on, select The Wyndham Charitable Trust, and you will then be able to click on Amazon or choose from many other retailers and service providers. You pay the normal price, and the Trust receives a commission at the rate shown.
You can help raise funds simply by using the Everyclick search engine. You can sign up so that every search you make will benefit the Trust.
Or you can simply use the Easysearch engine, and help the Trust with every search..
The Trust's constitution does not permit it to provide funding for individuals.
The Trust is keen to detect fraud - any suspicions will be reported to the police, Charity Commission, and other relevant authorities.

Truth, tapes and two dead Palestinians
The raging debate about the death of the Beitunia teens will become eternally self-referential as each side pumps up its own greater narratives. Herein lies perhaps the greatest victory for the stronger side. Two Palestinian teens were killed last Thursday, Nakba Day. Until yesterday, it was also true that the Palestinian teens were shot with live ammunition by Israeli forces. There is excessive documentation – eyewitnesses, news outlets, still photos and 12 hours of video from the security cameras monitoring the shack-like structures where they were shot, owned by a private Palestinian. A week later, the IDF embraced different facts. It…

Poisoned by tear gas in the comfort of their own home
An IDF night raid on the West Bank village Qaddum left three family members in the hospital. Chances are we'll never hear about it in mainstream Israeli news outlets. By Yesh Din (written by Yossi Gurvitz) The security forces have a problem with the village of Qaddum - we're not quite sure why. Perhaps it is because the residents hold weekly demonstrations against the occupation. Whatever the reason, it is clear that the security forces have decided to teach the village a lesson. Recently, a mysterious officer, who according to testimonies of the residents calls himself Captain Sabri, walks around…
IDF drags its feet on investigation into Palestinian woman's death in Bil'in
Jawaher Abu Rahmah, 36, died the morning after inhaling massive amounts of tear gas at a protest in Bil'in last year. The exact cause of her death, however, is still unclear. Why has the army refused to open an investigation into the matter and where does the case stand? A report from one of the family's legal representatives. By Emily Schaeffer We may never know what caused Jawaher Abu Rahmah's death on January 1, 2011. Following the incident the IDF Spokesperson's Office launched a disinformation campaign asserting first that she was not at the Bil'in demonstration that preceded her death,…
IDF investigations: Will there be justice for Tamimi?
IDF policy requires a criminal investigation be launched immediately when military operations in the occupied Palestinian territories cause death. But a defective system essentially ensures that the investigation will not be conducted in a fair and impartial manner, enabling soldiers to continue to act with impunity. This article was first published in The Jerusalem Post and is reprinted with permission. By Emily Schaeffer The death of 28-year-old Mustafa Tamimi of the village of Nabi Saleh last month raises questions about the Israeli military establishment's investigative processes. Tamimi was only the latest casualty of the IDF's abundant use of tear gas to disperse…

Bathroom Bill continues to spark controversy in South Carolina
Monday, April 18, 2016 9:37 AM EDT
Bill supporter, Larry Byrd, says he wants to prevent children from being confused.
LGBT supporter Blake Henry-Rivera says if the bill is passed, it will cause anger in the community.
By Alexa Angelus
Backlash began last Wednesday when people from the LGBT community and their allies protested the so-called Bathroom Bill on the State House grounds after a subcommittee met.
The bill would prevent transgender people from choosing their own bathroom. It is similar to the one passed in North Carolina, which has sparked protests and outrage. The criticism has now moved to South Carolina.
"The bill will bring a lot of anger to the community, especially the LGBT community, and either way we're going to fight," said LGBT supporter Blake Henry-Rivera.
Concerned parents' voices were heard in a committee meeting on Wednesday.
"I will not stand silently as people put my daughter is harms way, I will do anything in my power to make sure this bill does not get passed...and if this travesty of a bill does get passed, I will be with my daughter when she needs to use the bathroom," said Ross Share, a parent of a transgender child.
Bill supporter Larry Byrd said he wants to prevent children from being confused.
"A man being a man, a woman being a woman, and protecting the children from being confused as they go to school and grow up into young adults," said Byrd.
Democratic Sen. Joel Lourie, is against the bill. However, the democrats are outnumbered ten to seven.
Bill sponsor Republican Sen. Lee Bright says there's a reasonable chance for the Bathroom Bill to pass.
Governor Nikki Haley has spoken out against the bill, so if lawmakers pass the bill, the chance of her vetoing is likely.

which type of two-pronged adaptor for CR?
Discussion in 'Travel Tips & Advice' started by Michelle Lange, Sep 11, 2009.
Michelle Lange New Member
Hi, I have two types of european adaptors; both with 2 round prongs but one adaptor's prongs are thicker than the other's; one of these is labeled 'Northern Europe'. The other one probably doesn't apply to CR because it's label only mentions Southern Europe. But would CR be considered Northern Europe? We refer to it in the USA as 'Eastern Europe' but I haven't come across an adaptor labeled for Eastern Europe.

The Czech Republic uses the same outlet as all other European countries expect of the United Kingdom. So if you ever have been to Europe before, you'll know.
It's better not to say the Czech Republic is in Eastern Europe. Czechs hate it. And I really think it isn't true.
1) Our culture has always been orientated on Western Europe (Germany, Austria, the UK...), not Eastern (Russia, Ukraine...). Check Huntington's theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clash_of_Civilizations
2) The Czech Republic is a member of the EU and the NATO. These organisations contain American, West- and Centraleuropean countries.
3) The Czech Republic is richer than Greece or Portugal. We are on the best way to get the EU average (minimally). Before the WW2, Czechoslovakia was the 5th richest state ever.

Ziku, all your claims are disputable. For example Turkey is an Asian country (I don't count the European part of Istanbul).
And we use another type of socket than Germans. :wink:
France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc. use this type:

Bilbax, I do not think Ziks' claims are disputable - I believe the are very true. Plus you know where the geographical cenre of Europe is, right?
Also if e.g. Austria is counted as West Europe, than Czech Republic must be too. Look at the map :wink:

You want the one with the thicker prongs. We had horrible problems in Italy, thinking that our Czech plugs would work there, but many of the (older) sockets were only for the thin plugs.

True but I just checked some of my plugs I brought from overseas w/me. So e.g. the extension cord has thicker prongs, cell phone charger thinner.
Also - just reminder - do not forget we have 220V in Europe! My sister in law once burned her hairdryer while she was vacationing in Europe :roll: .
Ah - that's true. So it probably doesn't matter here in Czecho, but in Italy, specifically Sardinia, some of the sockets weren't grounded, so you couldn't plug in the fat plugs there, plus they have the stupid three pins in a row grounded plugs...
One bit of good only slightly unrelated news - apparently the major cell phone manufacturers have agreed that for the European market, all phones will use mini-USB for their charging sockets (on the phones)....

Off topic, but which place do you mean? The one next to golf course 30 km north of Vilnius?
Alexx, Sep 28, 2009
Also - just reminder - do not forget we have 220V in Europe!
The nominal voltage in Europe is actually 3 x 400 V. The line-to-earth voltage is 230.94 V (exactly 400 V divided by the square root of 3)!
------- = 230.94 V (usually truncated to 230 V)

Turkey is European :?
They'll be in the European Union soon enough! I don't want to get political, but I think that's very rude, just deciding that the millions and millions of people that live in the west of Turkey don't count.
Anyway I find it impossible to get adaptors that will work here at home, only once did I find one and that was in a pound shop, it didn't even say what country it was for or what type of adaptor it was and I'd never been here so it was a gamble.
I've also seen ones that look like they'll fit a few times but that don't have the holes. This year what I did was I just got an extension chord with 4 plugs on it from home and stuck that into my one adapter so now I have four.. I hope this is safe and the fact that all of my sockets blew the other day isn't related.
Ctyri koruny, Sep 28, 2009
97% of the territory of Turkey is in Asia, thus Turkey is rather Asian than European.
But the point was that the membership in NATO says nothing about the geographical location in Europe as Turkey is also a member of the NATO. The members of NATO are situated on three continents.
Also the claim that "Before the WW2, Czechoslovakia was the 5th richest state ever" is rather a myth. Maybe 11-13th in Europe and 15-18th in the world (depends on criteria).
Finally, the European countries use various outlets.
Zik's claims are indeed disputable.
It is also disputable.
Petronela Well-Known Member
To confuse you a bit more …. Please don't forget that Europe is only 50 hertz. So anything with timer on it may or may not run but time keeping will be all wrong. If I remember correctly the electric clock will be off as much as an hour per day, so save your luggage space and don't bring anything with timer on it.
Also many of the small electric gadgets these days are dual voltage without really advertising it, so check the box. I was pretty surprised both my curling and straitening iron were, so all I needed was the adapter for plug, (walmart sells those as a set of all possible combinations for like $9)

Back to the original topic, Rick Steves sells a kit containing all the various outlet adaptor plugs you might encounter on a European trip. As I recall, I was able to use them for outlets in UK, CZ and Italy.

bibax":2o1x9vhy said:
It's really truth. OK, I've heard it was the 5th one, it's not official, but there are official informations Czechoslovakia was one of the 10 richest. The official website of the Czech Republic doesn't tell a rank, but:
Czechoslovakia ranked among the most developed states of that time, and its national product per capita exceeded that of Austria and Hungary, as well as that of Italy.
How many states do you think were richer in that time (in GDP per capita for example)? The United States + Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland + small states like Lichtenstein or Luxemburg - and that's all! Not poor Germany, not Japan, not Austria, absolutely not Arabian states.
You are right, Ctyri koruny. But it was Zik who mentioned NATO, EU, prewar Czechoslovakia, etc. without any relevant connection to outlets and plugs. I only remarked that Zik's claims were disputable (not incorrect necessarily).


When Deadpool premiered on February 12, 2016, it changed conventional comic book movie wisdom. It proved a hard-R rated superhero movie could perform just as well as a PG-13 crowd pleaser. It proved that yes, Ryan Reynolds could be successful playing a superhero, and it made a cult favorite character among comic book geeks into a household name.

Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies are investigating a fatal accident involving a pedestrian and a VTA light trail train in Campbell on Thursday.
Systemwide delays were expected after the crash near Campbell Avenue and Civic Center Drive around 2:45 p.m., officials said. Paramedics on scene discovered that the pedestrian had died, according to fire officials.
A bus bridge was set up between the Winchester and Bascom stations.


The existing Sanctuary of Meritxell, patron saint of Andorra, is a contemporary church designed by Catalan architect Ricard Bofill and opened in 1976. It is an eclectic construction, a synthesis of the work of man and the surrounding landscape, an inspired mixture of various styles. A reproduction of the Romanesque carving of the Mare de Déu de Meritxell presides over the altar, as the original was lost in a fire in 1972.
Inside the old sanctuary, now restored, is an exhibition entitled "Memories of Meritxell".
The saint's day is 8 September, the Diada of Meritxell, the national day.


When I install the drivers manually and then insert the usb from a ADC-24 it says device not recognised. Only way is to install the PicoLog software first. Any solution or am I doing something wrong?

Lamu Port build running 6 months late
East Africa News, Transport July 5, 2018July 5, 2018 Curated Content
In February, the government had announced that one of the first three berths would be complete by June.
Mr Thuita said currently, the construction of all the first three berths is at 46 per cent complete.
Mr Maringa also expressed confidence that all the three Lapsset terminals (berths) at Kililana will be completed by the end of 2020.
Kenyans will have to wait a little longer for the completion of the first berth at the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) Corridor project.
But speaking to the Nation on Tuesday, Lapsset Corporate Affairs Officer Benson Thuita said they are confident that the first berth at the Lamu Port will be completed by the end of this year.
The first three berths at the Lamu Port cost about Sh48 billion and currently, the construction work is ongoing at Kililana area in Lamu West.
"We had announced that the first berth at the Lamu Port would be complete by June this year. However, a project of such magnitude cannot be hurriedly completed like that. Maybe we expect the first berth to be ready by the end of this year and not in June which has already passed. In fact the construction work at the port is at 46 per cent complete," said Mr Thuita.
In February when the Lapsset board led by Transport Principal Paul Maringa and Lapsset Director General and CEO Silvester Kasuku toured the region, they announced that the project was 42 per cent complete with the first berth expected to be ready by this year.That means for the past five months, only 4 per cent of the work has been done.
SPEEDY CONSTRUCTION
According to Mr Maringa, the national government is committed to ensuring a speedy construction of the Sh2.5 trillion project which he termed as the largest port in East and Central Africa.He noted that the government has been using Sh14 billion every year in ensuring progress at the port.Mr Maringa also expressed confidence that all the three Lapsset terminals (berths) at Kililana will be completed by the end of 2020.He also stated that the government is pursuing the development of the appropriate road infrastructure to connect the port to the rest of the Lapsset.

Role of universities in preserving cultural heritage in areas of conflict
Role of universities in preserving cultural heritage in areas of conflict.pdf (4.180Mb)
Saifi, Yara
People living under occupation continue their struggle against loss of land by preserving their authentic cultural heritage, narrative, identity, and very existence in various ways. This paper sets out the efforts of Palestinian universities to protect their cultural heritage in the face of continuing Israeli occupation, which demonstrate resilience by building sustainable livelihoods. This includes raising awareness of their cultural heritage, and assisting the economy through the provision of work opportunities that portray a collective policy towards their culture. It sheds light on the case of Al-Quds University that is implementing several conservation projects in different cultural sites rich in the contextual values in the Old City of Jerusalem. The university adopts people-centered solutions, which give the built heritage significant meaning and value. A taxonomy of efforts among the projects is outlined to inform policy discussions related to the role of universities. Through utilizing empirical data that can stimulate discussions on developing a more shared set of efforts, the paper contributes to ongoing debates on the reconstruction of built heritage as a dynamic process and strategy to help people recover from the impacts of conflicts.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Nov. 5, 2015)—Scientists with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a National Institutes of Health-funded project, have molecularly characterized two types of the second most common kidney cancer and classified several subtypes of the disease.
Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) accounts for 15 to 20 percent of kidney cancer cases diagnosed annually. It has long been classified as either Type 1 or Type 2, but until now much of what scientists knew about the underlying genetics of PRCC was based on information garnered from rare, inherited forms of the disease. Little was known about the molecular background of cases that occur without a family history of kidney cancer. Currently, there are no effective therapies for advanced PRCC.
The findings—which describe specific molecular differences between Types 1 and 2, as well as three subtypes of Type 2—were published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Investigators conducted thorough genomic analyses on tumors from 161 patients and found that Type 1 and Type 2 PRCC are molecularly and genomically distinct, and should be considered two separate diseases. They also found three distinct subtypes of Type 2, each characterized by varying molecular alterations.
One of these Type 2 subtypes is marked by a gain of DNA methylation, or hypermethylation, at thousands of genes across the genome. DNA methylation is a type of modification to the DNA molecule that controls whether genes are switched on or off and, when it goes awry, can contribute to tumorigenesis. This novel subtype of PRCC Type 2—called CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP)—has the lowest overall survival rates across PRCC types and is tightly associated with alterations in a gene that participates in metabolism. These changes cause CIMP tumor cells to experience a metabolic shift, which supports their rapid growth and survival.
The study also describes alterations of several known cancer-related genetic pathways, including MET/VEGRF and NRF2/ARE. Agents that target MET/VEGRF are currently in clinical trials for PRCC, and targeted therapies for NRF2/ARE have recently been developed.
TCGA is run by NIH's National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), and aims to comprehensively characterize cancers that have poor prognoses and a significant impact on public health. The TCGA Research Network is comprised of investigators from research and medical organizations across the U.S, including Shen; Peter Laird, Ph.D., a VARI professor who led the study's methylation data collection as part of the Research Network; and Stephen Baylin, M.D., a professor at VARI and co-head of Cancer Biology at Johns Hopkins University's Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, who also is an author on the PRCC paper. They joined investigators from a total of 41 organizations who participated in the PRCC work.
Today's publication is one of the most recent in a long series of high-impact papers published as a result of TCGA's efforts. Last month, the group published a comprehensive analysis of invasive lobular breast carcinoma and, also today, a paper describing the genomic background of prostate cancer appeared in the journal Cell.

Unless you are a math nerd you will likely skip this article right about… now.
A location and the territory it covers.
There are a number of ways to determine if 'here' is inside a given area. In mathematics locating 'here' in a territory can be directly associated with the point in polygon problem. 'Here' is the point where the user is now and the latitude/longitude combination represent the x,y coordinates for that point. The polygon is described as a series of latitude/longitude (x,y) coordinates that form the outline of a polygon. You can now employ a number of algorithms to calculate if a point is inside the polygon, such as the "Winding number" algorithm. However my favorite is the "Even Odd Rule" algorithm due to its simplicity and the speed at which it can be computed. Winding number uses "circular math" which involves things like sine and cosine which are computationally expensive.
Even Odd Rule uses the given point and creates a ray from that point that traverses at least one side of the polygon. If the ray crosses an even number of borders it is outside the polygon. if it crosses an odd number it is in the polygon. There is a caveat where if it is ON the border it will be considered "outside" but that can be a matter of semantics ; "you said INSIDE not on the edge". Also , for territories the < 1 meter of distance that Store Locator Plus uses with floating point decimals representing latitude/longitude, it is probably fine to lose that 1 meter to the "on the border" rule.
Tracing a ray from a point through a polygon.
Calculating the number of "border crossings" is fairly easy and operates quickly unless you have an extremely complex polygon with thousands of points prescribing the border. That won't be the case for my product. The efficiency and accuracy of this algorithm is perfect.
Sometimes you can discover beauty in the simplicity of what otherwise can seem like a complex problem by using math to describe your world.
Yes I know. I'm a math geek.

Dominaria Draft is driven by archetypes. Card values change based on which colors you are drafting and what your deck is trying to do. One of the main reasons I love this format is because you can put together a good deck in almost every color combination. I believe B/G Saprolings to be the best deck, and I see no reason not to start at the top. Since I haven't written one of these for a while, let me remind you that pick orders listed are not for pick 1 pack 1 but for once you are established in this archetype.
B/G Saps is about making a lot of small creatures, then using them to win the game. You will rarely be able to swarm the opponent for the win, even if you cast two kicked Migrations. The point of making a lot of 1/1s is to then cash them in for value. Since they do clog up the board, they make it very tough for your opponent to kill you on the ground before you can cash them in for enough value to win the game. This deck revolves around the best Saproling makers and the best payoffs.
Removal is good because you don't need all of your cards to synergize, and this deck doesn't really need to hit a critical mass. You just want to remove board-dominating cards while cashing in Saprolings for value. You don't need good ground blockers, because the Fungi and Saprolings take care of that for you. The deck is slow, though, so defense against flyers is valuable.
I won't list cards like Belzenlock or Multani in my pick order. They are good first picks if you have this deck because they are broken cards, but they are not better in G/B Saprolings than in other green or black decks. I will list cards like Song, because it's substantially better in this deck than in some other green decks like U/G value or R/G kicker, even though it's still a good card and possibly a first pick for those decks. I will also list all of the commons I actively look for because you will frequently be faced with picks like Eviscerate or Saproling Migration.
That means if a green or black common isn't listed, it's filler at best for this deck and if you have enough cards without it, you probably want to cut it. For this deck, you want a combination of cards that make Saprolings and cards that give you value with them. While, for example, I think Migration is a little better than Omnivore, if I have two Yavimaya Sapherds and no Omnivores or Wild Onslaughts, then I would take Omnivore over Migration. You are looking for a good mix of Saproling production and the ability to gain value.
I usually start with one copy of Soul Salvage, Pierce the Sky, and Dark Bargain in this deck and am happy with them. Sometimes I play two of them, especially Dark Bargain, but all three of these cards get worse in multiples, so the second copy I would consider more filler than an optimal card. No, I didn't forget Ancient Animus. Sometimes I play one, but it's highly situational and I consider it filler in a nice Saproling deck that doesn't have many real bodies but makes boatloads of 1/1s.
I do not like to start one copy of Broken Bond in this deck, but it's still a good sideboard card. If you are on pace to have enough playables then I would draft it over the bottom four or five cards on this list.
As your deck gets better and better, you can take cards from toward the top of these lists over removal. Pack 3, if I have a lot of great Saproling production and a few removal spells already, then I would take Thallid Omnivore over Eviscerate, and if I have multiple Omnivores, Wild Onslaughts, or Songs, then I would take Saproling Migration over Vicious Offering. One of this deck's biggest strengths is that it's not an all-in combo deck, so if you don't get a ton of Sap synergy you can still have a nice green-black deck. As you get more and more Saproling cards, all the synergy effects become better and better.
So now you're ready to draft the best archetype in the format. Next week, I'll write about the second-best Draft deck in Dominaria: U/R Wizards.

Virginia Senate Approves LGBT Protections
The Virginia Senate on Friday approved two bills that seek to protect LGBT Virginians.
Senate Bill 423 would prohibit housing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, while Senate Bill 202 would prohibit discrimination in state employment, including LGBT Virginians who work in local government and public school districts. (Similar employee protections are currently offered through an executive order signed by Governor Ralph Northam.)
LGBT activists applauded the move.
"For the third year in a row, a bipartisan coalition of Virginia Senators voted to move Virginia forward by protecting LGBT people from discrimination," James Parrish, executive director of Equality Virginia, said in a statement. "This vote affirms what Virginians already know to be true: that our state is at its strongest when we're all free to live our lives without fear of discrimination. This is the latest evidence that Virginia is ready for equal opportunity for all. We urge the House of Delegates to follow the Senate's lead and move Virginia forward."
"Today, the Virginia Senate stood up for fairness and equality by voting to make the commonwealth a more welcoming and inclusive place for all Virginians, including LGBTQ people," HRC National Field Director Marty Rouse said in a statement. "It's essential for the future of Virginia that the newly elected House of Delegates move swiftly to ensure these long-overdue protections are passed and sent to Governor Northam to be signed into law. These are basic non-discrimination protections that LGBTQ Virginians need and deserve."
The legislation now heads to the House of Delegates, which could take up the bills as early as February 14.
While Republicans still control the House, the party lost a significant number of seats during the last election cycle and currently only holds a two-seat majority.

Greg Holden Biography
Greg Holden's second full-length album may be titled I Don't Believe You, but he's genuinely given listeners something to believe in.
Boasting unwavering honesty and unshakable melodies, the UK-born, New York-based singer and songwriter tells eleven vivid stories over the course of the record.
Some of them are heartbreaking, while others are uplifting. However, all of them are unforgettable.
He is best known for his hit charity single "The Lost Boy" and for co-writing "Home", the 2012 debut single for American Idol-winner Phillip Phillips.
In 2009, the Big Apple beckoned Holden. He'd just released his independent debut, A Word in Edgeways, and after visiting the city for some recording sessions, he knew he wanted to relocate.
He moved out of his London flat, sold most of his things, boarded a plane, and never looked back.
"For some reason, I was always drawn to New York," he admits. "Every one of my favorite musicians had gone there at some point. I remember reading about Bob Dylan's journeys through Greenwich Village, all the imagery of the city just taunted me. There's a mystery about the place, it just sucks you in."
For the next year, he immersed himself in that "mystery". Everything that he saw and experienced became fodder for his songwriting—whether it be interactions on the train or in the bars. The smell of alcohol and the overheard conversations lived on in his music. Simultaneously, he launched a Kickstarter page to fund the recording. Rallying support from his devout fan base, he raised 30,000 dollars in the span of month. Holden headed to Los Angeles and recorded the songs he'd been penning with none other than producer Tony Berg [Bob Dylan]. He emerged from the studio with I Don't Believe You.
"I'd call it English Americana," he says of the album. "I have real American influences, and I have to be proud of that, and not pretend as though I only listened to English music my whole life. I listen to Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen as well as the English icons such as Harrison & Lennon. I'll always have my English roots, but I live here right now."
I Don't Believe You saw an initial digital release in 2011, and it began to slowly build a buzz online. However, when Holden recorded the bonus track "The Lost Boy", the record made a giant splash internationally. A poignant, potent, and poetic rumination, he carried the song's unforgettable refrain and touching story.
Holden recalls, "I wrote that after reading a book by Dave Eggers called What is the What. It's a true story about a Sudanese refugee named Valentino Achak Deng. It was so emotional and powerful that I had to write the song, it felt like some sort of duty. I wanted to make a difference after reading the book. I recorded it in my apartment, and I sent it to a DJ that I knew in Holland because he does a lot of work for the Red Cross."
The song entered regular rotation during the Christmas period, and shot to #1 on iTunes in Holland. The radio station invited Holden to play a Christmas Eve benefit for the Red Cross in front of 10,000 people. A sold out tour of the country ensued, and the song ended up raising 80,000 dollars for the charity. Shortly after, "The Lost Boy" played over a key scene in a seminal episode of Sons of Anarchy. Within days, it had sold 20,000 copies on iTunes and charted on Billboard.
Elsewhere on I Don't Believe You, Holden confronts dishonesty on the shimmering and slick title track, while "Bar on A" paid homage to one his favorite haunts where "an English boy learned about the drinks and women of New York". Then, there's the powerful "American Dream"—another true story.
"I was riding home on the subway one night, and I was sitting by a homeless couple," he explains. The woman was crying and upset, and the guy had a big bag of stuff he'd claimed to have stolen. He was like, 'Don't worry, I'm going to sell all of this shit so we can eat tonight'. It was so ****ing real. I wrote the song on my phone right there and then. It's a classic example of the many people who aren't living the so-called American dream."
Holden, however, has tirelessly chased his dream. In the midst of releasing I Don't Believe You, he wrote the multiplatinum-selling smash hit "Home" for Phillip Phillips, and he contributed the stunning "I Need an Energy" to the Chasing Mavericks soundtrack. Now, he signed to Collective Sounds in 2013 and will re-release the album formally in stores and digitally.
Ultimately though, his goal remains the same. "I don't sing to make money," he concludes. "I want to be honest, whether people believe me or not. I want to tell stories that make people think and hopefully, feel. I want them to be inspired in some way. If they can connect to a song beyond a harmonic level, that's all I ever wanted."

Pitching marketing ideas is part and parcel to your position. But this article isn't just about pitching normal marketing ideas, we're going to talk about how to internally sell experiential marketing to your boss. Certainly, it involves the best practices for pitching ideas to management that you're used to, but we're going to help you find the perspective you'll need to convince your superiors that it's time to do more than just think outside the box. It's time to throw the box away.
This is probably the biggest indicator that you're serious about what you're pitching, and that your manager should be serious about listening to what you have to say. Be sure you're asking to set enough time aside to accommodate the full presentation of your pitch, which we'll expand on in a few moments. Make sure that it's clear you're going to need that amount of time, because this is an idea that you want to discuss in a capacity that goes beyond what you can accomplish in passing or via email.
This is going to be imperative to your ability to carry through with the rest of our steps regarding how to pitch ideas to your boss about experiential marketing. At the heart of the rest of the footwork is your ability to understand this concept and the related needs and expectations forward and backward. You'll need to be the expert in the room, and you'll need to carry the confidence of that position to be as convincing as possible.
Consider the ways that such an experimental approach can carry the organization forward, both in its current goals and its future impact. What areas deserve to be highlighted? Is there something specifically about how you got the idea for this experiential pitch? Know why experiential marketing is the opportunity to unlock your brand's audience, and understand the resources needed to achieve KPIs.
Studies by Event Marketing Institute and Mosaic prove 89% of consumers believe events improve their understanding of a product or service over traditional advertising methods on TV and radio or in print.
This is paralleled by the belief of 93% of consumers that openly describe these events as more effective in converting them to action than traditional advertising, and 96% describe themselves as more likely to buy a product after this kind of branded event.
These events leave 74% with positive impressions of the brand and its product.
Market example: Mountain Dew Energy (UK) — As a brand, Mountain Dew doesn't have all that much of a presence in the UK, so when it came time to promote their newest beverage, the brand went all out on a 43-day tour with 15 brand ambassadors on a Mountain Dew branded truck. They didn't create their own events, but they established themselves at events such as music festivals that were already occuring (i.e., with an audience ripe for the converting) and hosted mini events like contests and giveaways, not to mention samples of the drink. About 55% of the targeted audience went on to purchase Mountain Dew, and more than 30% of those were brand new customers. Plus, for every pound spent (i.e., $1.40 USD), they nearly doubled in ROI (£1.85). The takeaway: A brand doesn't need to spend on a drawn out awareness campaign, but can instead quickly and measurably create an outstanding experience that motivates customers to explore your offerings.
Market example: Knock Knock app's 1st Annual Netflix and Chill Festival (2015) — Tapping into the "Netflix and chill" meme, the marketing firm created viral buzz for their event, which turned into over 30 thousand RSVPs on Facebook, spreading to multiple campuses, and attracting the attention of social media influencers. Festival attendees posted selfies and other photos to social media outlets like Instagram and Snapchat, which generated buzz for Knock Knock itself. The app went from merely the latest in a long list of social apps to a trending leader in app stores. The takeaway: A brand doesn't need to make a pitch to customers to make a big impression and earn consumer trust and interest; rather, integrating the brand into a fun event does the heavy lifting for you.
Market example: TD Bank's #TDThanksYou Campaign — In order to bypass the everyday person's view of banking and differentiate itself from the rising distrust in financial institutions, this campaign was structured in such a way as to engender positive social currency. Large booths were placed in several cities, and inside, visitors would be given a variety of thank-you gifts, from flowers to cash, and even to once-in-a-lifetime offers such as throwing the first pitch at a professional baseball game. The takeaway: It doesn't matter what kind of product or service you offer; literally any brand can take advantage of experiential marketing. It doesn't take a lot to show your brand cares about its customers and its community, either.
Experiential marketing is all about breaking away from the expected and making the pitch for experiential marketing needs to do the same thing. You don't need to be confined to the recitation of data and ROI forecasting. Build a presentation that takes full advantage of experiential concepts, whether that's including a demo that allows you to utilize audio and tactile experiences normally ignored in a marketing pitch or something else altogether. Make your pitch visual, at the very least, and definitely make it memorable.
The odds that your pitch will completely convince your superiors to greenlight the project no questions asked is going to be pretty low, no matter how well designed it is. They're definitely going to have questions, and they'll probably have objections. As you prepare, take the time to figure out what they'll need or want to know so you can develop a conceptual risk management plan. Be ready so as to be confident as you answer their challenges with thoroughly developed answers.
Now that you've got a better idea about how to use best practices for pitching ideas to management as the method for how to internally sell experiential marketing to your boss, it's time to take the next step: develop the actual marketing campaign strategy and put together a winning plan. Put together the elements you need to be convincing, and get ready to take your brand to the next level of true consumer engagement.

Hester Pinney (3 July 1658 at Broadwindsor, Dorset – 19 February 1740), was an English businessperson in partnership with her sister Rachel Pinney. They dealt in lace like her sisters Sarah Pinney and Jane Hoare. Hester was organising outworkers, and later importing sugar from Nevis where her exiled brother Azariah Pinney was making a fortune, owning slaves and dealing in sugar.

Life
Pinney was the eighth of the ten children of the Presbyterian minister and preacher John Pinney (1620/21–1705) and Jane French (1614–1693). When her father was exiled from his church, the family decided to trade in lace. Her sisters Jane Hoare and Sarah Pinney were already trading when Hester moved to London and engaged in trade with her sister Rachel in 1682. They had a lace shop in the Royal Exchange. They sold laces from Devon and yarn from Antwerp, and they arranged the import of yarn which then went to out-workers.

Hester Pinney was particularly noted for her business skill and her ability to successful negotiations. She manage to bribe officials to allow her brother who had been involved with the Monmouth Rebellion to escape pubishment. He was smuggled abroad and ended up in Nevis with £15 to his name. He dealt there in lace and sugar. She imported sugar from the West Indies, started a lace-making school and lent money for interest as a banker. Her contribution to the family business made the entire family wealthy.

After the death of her father in 1705, she also successfully engaged in speculation, and her business became more independent. She is noted to have been a significant member of the London business world. It was unusual for an unmarried woman of her time period to achieve such a position. Pinney never married, which would have placed her under the legal guardianship of her husband, but she had a long-term relationship with the lawyer, George Booth, while employed as his secretary. They had no children. Booth has known for his corruption while working for the customs. He was unseated as an MP after it was realised that had bribed his way into that role as well.

When George Booth died in 1726 she had been living in the same house for three years. She was his only executor. He left her property in West Ham and Houndsditch and the manor of Monken Hadley twelve miles outside London.

Death and Legacy
Hester died on 19 February 1740 in Holborn and she was buried in St Mary the Virgin, Monken Hadley. Sje left a sizable inheritance to her sister Rachel, her nephew Azariah, and John Frederick Pinney who was a great nephew from Nevis who was already rich due to the Pinney plantation there. Some of her letters and Pinney account books are held by Bristol University Library.

What is Mitella?
4 Links to Related Articles
Written By: Alex Tree
Edited By: Melissa Wiley
Mitella is a genus of perennial flowering plants that belongs to the Saxifragales family. These plants are commonly referred to as miterwort or bishop's cap. The majority of the species in this genus grow in moist meadows and forests. They are native to regions of extreme climate such as arctic North America, Europe, and certain parts of Asia.
The name Mitella was derived from the Greek word mitra, meaning little cap, which describes the appearance of the plant's flowers. Its blooms are small with four to five loosely fringed petals attached to a center, resembling a dome or a bishop's headwear. Miterwort blossoms are shades of white, pink, and yellow and measure about 0.4 inches (0.6 cm) across. The flowers are widely spaced along the stalk, leaving the majority of the stem exposed.
Similar to all members of the Saxifragales family, miterworts also have five to 10 stamens within their system. The stalks of these plants are straight with fine hair-like follicles completely covering their structures. Two to three leaves that are about 2 inches (5 cm) long can be seen at the base of their stalks, which always grow symmetrically from the other. Growing symmetrical flowers and foliage is referred to as being actinomorphic, another commonality within the Saxifragales family.
One common garden-variety species of these perennials is diphylla, known as the two-leaved miterwort. Its basal leaves consistently come in pairs; hence its common name. It has tiny white flowers that appear like specs of cotton balls from afar, coming in full bloom from April to May. A fully matured specimen is approximately 1.5 feet (5 m) in height.
A cavity containing the plant's seeds is left behind when the blossoms wither and fall off the bulb. Gushes of wind and rainfall serve as a medium for the transfer of the seeds to the ground, while certain species of bees and flies pollinate from the flowers. Mitella seeds develop into rhizomes, a process that is also common to Bermuda grass and fern plants. Its roots creep underground for the first two to three weeks before its first sprout can be seen on the soil's surface.
The low-lying varieties of these plants can be used as carpet plants to cover barren areas of the garden instead of ordinary lawn grass. Perennials of this sort can easily adapt to dry soil. However, the pace of growth of these plants is slower compared to grass or other types of flowering carpet plants. The propagation of Mitella plants is possible through division and direct sowing.

Hanoi (VNA) – The Congress of the Philippines on May 3 rejected the appointment of Secretary of Environment Regina Lopez, who took office 10 months ago.
The Commission on Appointments of the Congress rejected the decision of President Rodrigo Duterte, which assigned Lopez as the environment secretary. She was the second member of Duterte's Cabinet dismissed by the Congress.
As the Secretary of Environment, Lopez has ordered the closure of 23 out of 41 nickel mines of the Philippines and cancellation of dozens of mining contracts in late February to protect water resources. The order was opposed by mine owners and workers.
According to Philippine Constitution, the appointments of secretaries need approval of the Congress, however, the voting takes place long after they were assigned.-VNA
