Q: The structure of maximal tori in finite simple groups Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a linear algebraic group over an algebraic closed field of characteristic $p$ and $F$ a proper frobenius map on it with fixed point group $\mathbf{G}^f=G$ such that $\overline{G}=G/Z(G)$ be a finite simple group of Lie type. We know that a maximal torus of $\overline{G}$ is defined to be $\overline{T}$ where $T=\mathbf{T}^F$ and $\mathbf{T}$ is a $F$-stable torus of $\mathbf{G}$.
Is it true that a maximal abelian subgroup $\overline{H}\subseteq\overline{G}$ where $gcd(|\overline{H}|,p)=1$ is a maximal torus of $\overline{G}$?

A: I may be saying something silly, but isn't for instance the subgroup $\mathbb{F}_p\simeq \begin{bmatrix}1 &t\\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}\hookrightarrow \textrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{F}_p)$ (for some $p>3$) a unipotent maximal abelian subgroup of that group that is not the reduction of a torus because it is not reductive?  Please correct me if this is not maximal abelian.

9:2 Every living creature of the earth and every bird of the sky will be terrified of you. 1 Everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea are under your authority. 2 9:3 You may eat any moving thing that lives. 3 As I gave you 4 the green plants, I now give 5 you everything.
1 tn Heb "and fear of you and dread of you will be upon every living creature of the earth and upon every bird of the sky." The suffixes on the nouns "fear" and "dread" are objective genitives. The animals will fear humans from this time forward.
2 tn Heb "into your hand are given." The "hand" signifies power. To say the animals have been given into the hands of humans means humans have been given authority over them.
4 tn The words "I gave you" are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
5 tn The perfect verb form describes the action that accompanies the declaration.
8 tn Heb "its life, its blood." The second word is in apposition to the first, explaining what is meant by "its life." Since the blood is equated with life, meat that had the blood in it was not to be eaten.
9 tn The words "in it" are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
sn You must not eat meat with its life…in it. Because of the carnage produced by the flood, people might conclude that life is cheap and therefore treat it lightly. But God will not permit them to kill or even to eat anything with the lifeblood still in it, serving as a reminder of the sanctity of life.

Home Resources U.S. Suspends Planned Tariff Increase on USD 200 Billion of Chinese Imports
U.S. Suspends Planned Tariff Increase on USD 200 Billion of Chinese Imports
On October 11, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a "very substantive phase one" trade deal had been reached with China which reportedly included unspecified concessions in intellectual property, exchange rates, financial services, and an agreement to purchase USD 40-50 billion (EUR 36.3-45.3 billion) worth of agricultural products. In exchange, the U.S. has agreed to suspend a planned tariff increase from 25 to 30 percent on USD 200 billion (EUR 181.2 billion) worth of List 3 Section 301 Chinese imports that were originally scheduled to come into effect on October 15.
Despite President Trump's assertions, it will take five weeks before the verbal commitments are translated into legal text and further negotiations appear to be necessary to conclude the interim agreement. Chinese state media sources acknowledged that "substantial progress" was made but reiterated that Beijing would like more talks at the end of October before Chinese President Xi Jinping agrees to sign the "phase one" trade deal outlined by U.S. President Trump.
China has also called on the U.S. to scrap another planned tariff hike on December 15 from 10 to 15 percent on USD 300 billion (EUR 272 billion) worth of Section 301 List 4 Chinese imports. To date, U.S. officials have declined to make such a commitment and appear inclined to evaluate how the negotiations go before deciding on whether it will suspend the December 15 tariff increase.
Non-tariff barriers still in play
The U.S.-China trade negotiations were preceded by a series of major non-tariff barriers through the form of export control regulations, sanctions, and other regulatory measures.
The U.S. Commerce Department placed on October 8 an additional 28 Chinese entities including artificial intelligence firms SenseTime Group Ltd and Megvii Technology Ltd.; and video surveillance firms Hikvision and Zhejiang Dahua Technology. Hikvision and Dahua both use supplies from U.S. tech companies such as Intel Corporation, Nvidia Corporation, Ambrella Inc., Western Digital, and Seagate Technology. Under the U.S. Entity List, suppliers are barred from providing technology that originates in the U.S. to Chinese entities that are identified to be without a license. Reports have also similarly surfaced that Beijing's proposed "Unreliable Entities List" aimed at punishing foreign firms deemed to have harmed Chinese interests was ready, but that the list will be published depending on how the U.S.-China trade talks proceed.
In addition, the U.S. Treasury imposed on September 25 sanctions on six Chinese entities – including two COSCO Shipping subsidiaries – for allegedly knowingly transferring oil from Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions. The sanctions directly impacted 40-50 tankers and have sent global freight rates surging for crude oil from the Middle East to Asia. China's largest refiner Sinopec announced that it would be reducing operations starting from November due to the surging cost of crude and eroded margins.
Further negotiations expected
The U.S. and China are expected to hold further substantive negotiations leading up to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting held in Santiago, Chile on November 16-17. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reiterated that a Phase One agreement could be signed, although an additional tariff increase from 10 to 15 percent on USD 300 billion worth (EUR 271.9 billion) of Chinese imports (List 4) was likely if no deal is reached by then. The reported interim trade deal is arguably in line with Beijing's preference for the negotiations to be staggered in a "40/40/20" format in contrast to President Trump's preference for a sweeping comprehensive trade deal.
The decision to suspend the tariff increase offers little relief for companies that still need to cope with 25 percent tariffs on USD 200 billion worth of Chinese imports and the extent to which Beijing will actually increase agricultural purchases to USD 40-50 billion remains optimistic at best. Manufacturers with deep supply chain networks in the U.S. and China will need to assess whether alternative suppliers are necessary and evaluate risks posed to sub-tier suppliers in terms of product flow, geographical location, and financial stress.
Customers are advised to continue to monitor Resilience360 for the latest U.S.-China trade war developments and its continued impact on global supply chain networks.

Athletic directors across the country are preparing for what would be a devastating blow to their department: No football.
Would athletic departments survive if football was taken away in 2020? Yes, says Florida Atlantic Athletic Director Brian White, at least when it comes to the 19 teams he oversees.
But the financial hit would be significant which is why White, and many of his peers, are preparing in case the unimaginable happens.
"That would be the worst-case scenario that we don't have a football season," White said Thursday. "We are planning for that as a potential. I don't know what we can do other than listen to the professionals and the medical experts and do everything we can to act responsibly and hope that others act responsibly, and hopefully, as a nation we're past this before football season."
>> Florida coronavirus stats made simple
The coronavirus pandemic has brought life to screeching halt around the globe, and that includes athletics. Already, college spring sports have been lost, meaning next up on the calendar are fall sports, including football.
The impact of losing football would be felt socially and financially. FAU's athletic department generates about $35.3 million in revenues each year with about $35.15 million in expenses. About 80 percent of that revenue is related to football. That number is typical for many schools in which football is the cash cow.
"It would be a very difficult year for FAU athletics, and not just football but all fall sports," White said. "That's a whole lot of sports competing and a lot of lost opportunities for student-athletes.
"We all want to see a football season played out and I know we all want to see it done only if we can do it safely."
>>County announces more closures — is it enough?
While working remotely from his home, White is in daily contact, not only with FAU President John Kelly and the school's other vice-presidents, but with athletic directors from Conference USA and ADs around the state. Ideas are shared … ideas that ADs have that could benefit other schools in his/her conference or in the state.
Like generating revenue for the worst-case scenario.
"Our hopes would be to generate revenue in other areas," White said about losing the football season. "We would need some help. We would lean on people. We would do everything we can to survive in a different financial model.
"We're looking at financial planning for every case scenario."

Canceling spring sports like baseball, softball, tennis and golf is saving money for athletic departments. Those sports typically run in the red and mostly are funded by football and, at some schools, basketball. But college athletic department budgets took a big hit Thursday when the NCAA announced it would distribute $225 million to its Division I members in June, $375 million less than had been budgeted after the pandemic forced the cancellation of the men's basketball tournament.
In most cases, that money will be distributed by the conferences.
"We're still working with our conference in trying to figure out what that means exactly for (FAU)," White said.
White is part of the first family of college athletics. His father, Kevin, is the AD at Duke. His brother, Danny, is the AD at UCF. His sister, Mariah, is an assistant AD at SMU. His brother, Mike, is the head basketball coach at Florida.
>>Point of View: The yawning coronavirus sports vacuum
Family phone calls can turn into a lot more than checking on how the kids are handling being schooled from home in a virtual world.
"It's definitely beneficial," White said. "We're in regular conversation. Anything in the best interest of our student-athletes may be in the best interest of the student-athletes for both my brothers, and my sister, and my dad."
He added they are great resources for people "trying to navigate a very difficult and different situation."
White checks in frequently with his coaches via Webex. He said the priority is making sure FAU's athletes are safe and following guidelines. Then, making sure they are not neglecting their studies and athletic responsibilities.
Trainers and strength coaches are sending workouts the athletes can do in their living rooms and yards to make sure they maintain their conditioning.
>>RELATED: Palm Beach County head coaches excited by Willie Taggart's arrival, promise to recruit local players
And all that is paramount for a first-year coach like Willie Taggart, who took over the football program in December and now likely will not see most of his players until they report for the start of camp … if there is a camp.
With spring football canceled, Taggart has been installing his system remotely.
"It's definitely a setback for anybody, but definitely for a first-year coach that presents an even more unique problem," White said. "He's doing everything he can to be on the front end of the Webex. Assistant coaches are having those meetings and by all accounts they're going better than we thought they would. But definitely not the same of having in-person practices."
Nobody knows when life will get back to normal, or at least some semblance of normal, and when we'll return to our daily routines. But when we do, White believes we will be stronger.
"I believe very difficult situations like this make you reassess and re-prioritize," he said. "Not just sports, that's kind of a microcosm of the whole thing. Hopefully, as a country it has made us stronger and further helped us make clear what our priorities are."

Although the primary protein sequence of ubiquitin (Ub) is extremely stable over evolutionary time, it is highly tolerant to mutation during selection experiments performed in the laboratory. We have proposed that this discrepancy results from the difference between fitness under laboratory culture conditions and the selective pressures in changing environments over evolutionary time scales. Building on our previous work (Mavor et al 2016), we used deep mutational scanning to determine how twelve new chemicals (3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole, 5-fluorocytosine, Amphotericin B, CaCl2, Cerulenin, Cobalt Acetate, Menadione, Nickel Chloride, p-fluorophenylalanine, Rapamycin, Tamoxifen, and Tunicamycin) reveal novel mutational sensitivities of ubiquitin residues. We found sensitization of Lys63 in eight new conditions. In total, our experiments have uncovered a sensitizing condition for every position in Ub except Ser57 and Gln62. By determining the Ubiquitin fitness landscape under different chemical constraints, our work helps to resolve the inconsistencies between deep mutational scanning experiments and sequence conservation over evolutionary timescales.

I don't object to the opposition that Democrats have shown towards President Trump and his policies. The Democrats are the opposition party and their job as the opposition is to, well, oppose. I am not one who complains much about gridlock or that the government isn't moving fast enough. As far as I am concerned, gridlock is precisely what the Founding Fathers intended when they wrote the Constitution. They were most concerned about protecting the rights and liberties of the people and did not want a situation in which the majority could vote away the rights of the minority, thus they intentionally made it difficult for the federal government to do much without a broad consensus among the people. If I wanted a government in which everyone marches together in lockstep, I would consider moving to China or North Korea. What I do object to is the way that the people most opposed to Donald Trump have taken to calling themselves "The Resistance". Not the loyal opposition, not simply the other party who happens to have disagreements on policy, but the Resistance, as if they are fighting against an enemy occupation.
The Resistance is deliberately named to harken back to the resistance movements in France and other countries occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II. This is a ridiculous conceit on their part. The resistance fighters of World War II faced considerable danger and hardships. The Nazis were not known for their kindness towards those who fought against them and their countrymen who chose to collaborate with the Germans could be far crueller. The only danger that a resistance fighter against Donald Trump could possibly face would be being interrupted by a standing ovation in the middle of a public rant against the president or developing carpal tunnel syndrome from being at their keyboard too long. In other words, there is no danger at all in "resisting" Donald Trump. If anything, judging from recent headlines, it takes more courage to publicly support Trump, at least in such progressive strongholds as Hollywood and college campuses.
It requires no courage to be against Donald Trump. He is not a Fascist dictator who has suspended the constitution. The police will not arrest anyone who speaks out against Trump. He does not have a paramilitary army of thugs to silence dissenters. It is the "antifa" protesters who are behaving like thugs. The Resistance is just a cheap way to feel courageous and virtuous. It is a way for people to feel as though they are fighting the good fight against oppression without having to do anything about the real oppression in the world.
Who is the Resistance and what are they resisting anyway? I notice that there don't seem to be many marginalized, and oppressed people leading the marches against Trump. The Resistance seems to be comprised of Democratic politicians, journalists and media figures, Hollywood celebrities, academia, federal workers of the so-called Deep State, and the like. In other words, the Resistance seems to be those people with the most power to influence public opinion in the country, in many cases the people who seem to despise the "Deplorables" who live in flyover country the most. I get the impression that the are actually less concerned with losing their freedom than with losing their power to hector and bully the rest of us who do not care to follow the policies they see as enlightened. Trump's populist tone and his "political incorrectness" must be really frightening to these people.
What are they resisting if Donald Trump is not a dictator who seized power in a coup or a puppet of an occupying power? They are resisting the duly and constitutionally elected President of the United States as well as the elected representatives, of at least the majority party, in Congress. The Resistance likes to accuse President Trump of shredding the constitution, but they are the ones who have been proposing one unconstitutional means after another to remove Trump from power. After the election they were urging the electors who were pledged to support the Republican candidate to be faithless electors and vote for someone else. They have proposed that Trump's cabinet invoke the twenty-fifth amendment to declare him unfit for office. They are now promising to impeach Trump if the Democrats regain a majority in Congress, even though there is no evidence that Trump has committed any crimes. The Resistance is resisting the results of a democratic election. They are resisting the concept of democracy in this country. They are resisting the idea that we the deplorables should have any say in the direction this country takes. They are resisting the idea that the United States should have a government of the people, by the people, for the people, wishing instead to have a government of the elites, by the elites, for the elites.
For some time now, I have had the strangest feeling that I was living in a country occupied by an enemy determined to destroy, or at least fundamentally change, every aspect that makes this country unique. It seems to me that the people who have been running this country and shaping public opinion have been doing nothing but attacking America and the ordinary people who have made it great. Our history has been disparaged as nothing more than a history of systemic oppression and racism. Our founding fathers, the greatest men who have ever lived, have been dismissed as dead, White, slaveholders. Our great heroes are defamed as racists who committed genocide. Our religion has been mocked as intolerant. Our values and our way of life are derided as old fashioned and obsolete. If we dare to take a stand and ask that our concerns be addressed, we are called racists and bigots.
Both political parties have been taking part in this. The Democrats are openly against us. The Republicans listen to us before the elections, but as soon as they get to Washington, they decide that they don't need to keep their promises. We had the Tea Party to try to get them to listen and it has had some success, despite the unanimous opposition from the media. It wasn't until Donald Trump ran for president that they started to notice us, and even then we were all racist deplorables. I still do not altogether trust or like Trump, but he does seem to be one of the few people in Washington who really gets it. He won the presidency by understanding why so many of us in flyover country are so upset, and he seems to really be trying to fight for us.
It is really we who are the Resistance. We are the ones fighting to restore democracy in this country. We, the bitter clingers, the Deplorables, the people who love this country and want to see it become great again are the revolutionaries against the people who think there that this country was never really great and who want to see it transformed into something quite different. Donald Trump is the leader of this resistance movement, for the moment, but if we want to see America great and free again, we cannot rely on any leader. We have to rely on ourselves. It is up to us all to make America a great nation. Let's get out there and fight.

Budding scientists explore their career options at Discovery Day
Owen Egan
More than 200 students from 26 high schools and CEGEPS across Montreal got a taste of what it's really like to be a scientist at TD Discovery Day in Health Sciences on Tuesday, December 6, 2011.
Organized by The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame and hosted by the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro), the McGill Faculty of Medicine, and the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), this one-day event featured a keynote lecture, interactive workshops held in research labs and hospital settings, and a career panel discussion.
"Discovery Day exposes students to a vast array of career options in the health sciences, including possibilities they may never knew existed," said Janet Tufts, Executive Director of The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame (CMHF), who has attended more that 50 Discovery Days across Canada since 2006. "Over and over, we see life-altering decisions made at Discovery Days as students interact with and are inspired by health professionals who are passionate about their work."
The day kicked off at The Neuro with the dynamic keynote address "Me, and how I got to be here" by Dr. Phil Gold, 2010 Hall of Fame Laureate, Douglas G. Cameron Professor of Medicine, Professor of Physiology and Oncology, McGill University, and Executive Director Clinical Research Centre, McGill University Health Centre.
"Discovery Day is a terrific opportunity for students to explore the world of health science," says Dr. Phil Barker, Interim Director of The Neuro. "We're proud to showcase the innovative research and clinical care at The Neuro, and to partner with the CMHF in inspiring the next generation of leaders that will advance science and medicine."
"Stimulating the curiosity of our youth is an important aspect of the Faculty of Medicine's teaching mission. Discovery Day gives young Quebecers the chance to meet with leading physicians, allied health professionals and researchers from the Faculty and hospital community, in their work settings, to learn first-hand what a career in the health sciences is about," said Dr. Benaroya, Interim Vice Principal (Health Affairs) and Interim Dean, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University.
"Innovation and education are two of the founding principles of an academic health centre like the McGill University Health Centre," said Mr. Normand Rinfret, Interm Director General and CEO of the MUHC. "We are very proud to participate in Discovery Day, and have the wonderful opportunity to connect with and inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals."
Following the keynote lecture, students dispersed across campus to attend two hands-on workshops, choosing from a total of 15 including the following:
The Human Spine – Why does it hurt, and do we have the magic to cure? where students will use real surgical instruments and artificial bones to stabilize the spine, and also perform biomechanical testing to study the suitability of new implants
Microcontact Printing – a way to guide cells through space and detect diseases giving students the opportunity to try out the microcontact printing technique to design cool patterns of fluorescent antibody the size of fingerprints and learn about some of the technique's applications such as stem cell differentiation, guidance of neurons and detection of antigens to screen for cancer or other diseases
Why are these students getting sick? Public health and disease outbreak tracking where students will take on the role of disease detectives to investigate "outbreak" in the group and learn to identify clues and formulate hypotheses about the relationship between risk factors and disease
The day wrapped up with a lively career panel discussion "Health Pros Tell All" giving students the opportunity to ask a variety of health professionals about their work, how they got to where they are today and what drives them to continue.
The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame offers Discovery Days at eleven universities across the country, involving over 2,200 students every year.

Q: Linker script variable in library prevents dynamic linking I have a project set up where I compile and link a shared library (libexample.so) with a linker script that looks like this:
SECTIONS
{
    .modules : {
        __MODULES_START = .;
        KEEP(*(.mod*));
        __MODULES_END = .;
    }
    ...
}

I use these in my code to load modules compiled into the library.
extern uint32_t __MODULES_START;
extern uint32_t __MODULES_END;

unsigned int init_mods (void) {
    void (*p)(void) = (void *)&__MODULES_START;
    ...
}

And when I compile the library in my Makefile
build/%.o: %.c
  gcc -o $@ -c $< -fPIC -g -Os -Iinclude

bin/libexample.so: $(OBJS)
  gcc -o $@ $^ -shared -fPIC -lc -T$(LINKER_SCRIPT)

It builds and links just fine, and it works when I try to link the library to another project that calls "init_mods".
build/%.o: %.c
  gcc -o $@ -c $< -fPIE -g -Os -Iinclude -I../libexample/include

bin/untitled-program: $(OBJS)
  gcc -o $@ $^ -fPIE -lc -lexample -Lbin '-Wl,-rpath,$$ORIGIN'

However, when I run the program where it can find the library, I receive the following linking error:
/bin/untitled-program: error while loading shared libraries: /blah/blah/libexample.so: unexpected PLT reloc type 0x08

When I readelf the shared library, I get the two definitions in my symbol table
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 223 entries:
   Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
...
   154: 0000000000000050     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 __MODULE_INIT_END
...
   222: 0000000000000028     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 __MODULE_INIT_START

So I'm wondering if my issue has to do with the NOTYPE, but I'm having trouble finding documentation on this.
To explain why I think my issue has to do with the linker script variables, when I run my program with linker debugging on, one of them is the last one to show up.
$ LD_DEBUG=all ./untitled-program
...
     23856: symbol=__MODULE_END;  lookup in file=./bin/untitled-program [0]
     23856: symbol=__MODULE_END;  lookup in file=/usr/lib/libc.so.6 [0]
     23856: symbol=__MODULE_END;  lookup in file=./bin/libexample.so [0]
     23856: binding file ./bin/libexample.so [0] to ./bin/libexample.so [0]: normal symbol `__MODULE_END'
...
     23856: symbol=__MODULE_START;  lookup in file=./bin/untitled-program [0]
     23856: symbol=__MODULE_START;  lookup in file=/usr/lib/libc.so.6 [0]
     23856: symbol=__MODULE_START;  lookup in file=./bin/libexample.so [0]
     23856: binding file ./bin/libexample.so [0] to ./bin/libexample.so [0]: normal symbol `__MODULE_START'
./bin/untitled-program: error while loading shared libraries: ./bin/libexample.so: unexpected PLT reloc type 0x08

But, that's the weird thing because it's able to bind one of the other linker script variables before it fails.
I have been working on this issue for too long, so I'm having trouble seeing the bigger picture.  Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong and the issue is with another symbol.  Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

A: Just mark your module init function with the GCC constructor function attribute (it has nothing to do with C++ constructors!), and it will include its address in the init_array section; the dynamic linker will then execute it before main(), or immediately when a dynamic library is loaded.
static void my_mod_init(void) __attribute__((constructor));
static void my_mod_init(void)
{
    /* Initialize this module, hook up to the library */
}

This has the benefit that because the dynamic linker executes these automatically, these are also run when you load a dynamic library with such modules with e.g. dlopen(path, RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL).

If you want to replicate the functionality under your own control,
then have each module declare an array of the init function addresses to a special section, say "mod_inits".  Define some helper macros:
#define  MERGE2_(a, b)  a ## b
#define  MERGE2(a, b)   MERGE2_(a, b)
#define  MODULE_INIT(func)  \
    static void *MERGE2(_init_, __LINE__) \
    __attribute__((section ("mod_inits"), used)) = &func

Then, in your module source files, make some functions:
static void hello(void) {
    puts("Hello!");
}
MODULE_INIT(hello);

static void also(void) {
    puts("Also hello!");
}
MODULE_INIT(also);

In the library file, to scan and execute all functions in any compilation units marked with MODULE_INIT():
extern void *__start_mod_inits;
extern void *__stop_mod_inits;

void run_mod_inits(void)
{
    for (void **ptr = &__start_mod_inits; ptr < &__stop_mod_inits; ptr++) {
        void (*func)(void) = *ptr;

        func();  /* Could pass parameters, if they have the same prototype */

    }
}

You do not need any linker file for this, as gcc provides the __start_ and __stop_ symbols for all sections whose names are valid C identifiers.
