Q: Why are you allowed to call one constructor from another? I was looking at other questions on SO, but I didn't really see an explanation for my question. I read that calling a constructor from another constructor (using    the this keyword) was valid, but I didn't understand why it was valid.
Previously, I thought that only one constructor could act per object. Constructor chaining seems to break this logic, in that while calling one constructor, it runs another in conjunction to the original, targeted constructor. Why does constructor chaining work?

A: Delegated constructors reduce the amount of duplicate code, since you can exploit the functionality set up in one constructor by calling it from another one.
Until this feature was designed into languages, we had to rely on "initialisation"-type functions that were called from constructors. That was a pain for two reasons (i) you could never guarantee that the functions were only called from constructors, and (ii) calling class methods from constructors is always a design "smell".

A: It allows to clarify the logic and reduce the code.
Is nesting constructors (or factory methods) good, or should each do all init work

It's reasonable to chain constructors together, the version with fewer parameters calls the version with more parameters. It makes very clear what's happening, and all the real "logic" (beyond the default values) is in a single place. For example:

public class Foo {

    private static final int DEFAULT_X =10;
    private static final int DEFAULT_Y =20;

    private int x;
    private int y;
    private int precomputedValue;

    public Foo(int x, int y) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        precomputedValue = x * y;
    }

    public Foo(int x) {
        this(x, DEFAULT_Y);
    }

    public Foo() {
        this(DEFAULT_X, DEFAULT_Y)
    }
}

A: We chain (call) one constructor from other within the same class so that we can avoid code duplication. Without chaining every constructor, we end up repeating business details and that leads to code duplication and hard to maintain the code as well.
Imagine you are creating a Bus.
public class Bus {
      int noOfSeats;
      String busColor;

      public Bus() {
           this(40); //// Using another constructor and proceeding with default values..
      }
      public Bus(int seats) {
           this(seats,"red"); // Using another constructor and proceeding..
      }
      public Bus(int seats, String color) {
           this.noOfSeats = seats;
           this.busColor = color;
      }
 }

And the person using this class can use only constructor at a time, where as you are using chaining internally. Imagine that you have a method which initializes things with default values and calling it in the constructor. There's nothing wrong in that, right?
Just to clarify, the person who is creating the object is calling only one constructor. The invoked constructor calls others which is internal to that class.

A: Not a Java dev here, but in Python this is also allowed and pretty much normal.
Whenever you inherit a class, you might want to call the parent class's constructor prior adding your own stuff-and-recipes.
This allows you to benefit the parent class's construction features. Whenever you do not know exactly what the parent class does you most of the time always call it first in order to avoid the parent's class features and methods being broken.

A: The fact that the confusion originates from every instance should call one ctor is absolutely right. The constructor chained another is used to avoid code duplication and simplicity because copying same code is really overhead. Sometimes maybe we need two constructors, first one just takes two parameters the other one takes three parameters. But, three parameters-ctor uses same variables of two parameters-ctor. Do you prefer copy-paste same assignmets or merely call the other ctor by this?

A: As a supplement to the other answers, I would like to share another use for calling a constructor from a constructor that I use often.
Another strategy of constructor chaining that I find useful is providing default implementations / auto-injection for Interfaces.
public class Foo {

    private readonly ILogger _logger;

    //Default implementation for most cases
    public Foo() : this(new DefaultLoggerImplementation()) {}

    //DI Constructor that allows for different implementations of ILogger
   //(Or Mocks in testing)
    public Foo(ILogger logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public void Log(string message)
    {
        _logger.log(message);
    }
}

This way if you have a default implementation for an interface it is auto injected via new Foo()
If you have a case with different ILogger behavior it is easily injectable, this also promotes the ability to Mock the interface in your unit testing framework.

Is Paul Manafort an American hero?
Best Answer: Only if you think "Conspiring against the United States" is heroic!
FYI- that's one of the charges against him!
He's been jailed pending trial for alleged witness tampering and obstructing a federal investigation. The investigations that he sought to pervert could POTENTIALLY even lead to a treason charge!
If once tried he is found innocent then he's innocent, if he's found guilty he's guilty! Someone is not a hero because they support an allegedly corrupt politician.
We don't even know for sure what he did, yet, and won't until after a fair trial. Is it funny how libs insist he's guilty and it's okay to jail him, all before any kind of trial, yet illegal aliens whom we KNOW entered the country in fully blatant disregard for our laws are "mistreated" and victims of racism if they're jailed or considered guilty before trial?

Hot on the heels of a three-building portfolio sale on the Lower East Side last week, a four-story commercial building at 314 Grand Street, between Allen and Orchard Streets, is on the market and could nab as much as $30 million, Crain's reported.
The approximately 35,000-square-foot building, long known for housing the ground-floor retail tenant Zarin Fabrics, is currently home to TD Bank and Bank of America and owned by the Amster family.
Michael DeCheser of Massey Knakal Realty Services is representing the Amsters in the sale, and told Crain's the building could eventually be converted into residential use with a penthouse floor on top of the property.
"The building's second floor has 20-foot high ceilings and the floors above that have 15-foot ceiling heights, which would make this a very attractive conversion," DeCheser told Crain's.

TUESDAY, Oct. 5, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has hit minority groups in the United States hard, with significantly more deaths among Black and Hispanic Americans compared with white and Asian Americans, a new study finds.
According to the report, these disparities highlight the need to address ongoing inequities influencing health and longevity in the United States.
What's more, "focusing on COVID-19 deaths alone without examining total excess deaths — that is, deaths due to non-COVID-19 causes as well as to COVID-19 — may underestimate the true impact of the pandemic," added study author Meredith Shiels. She's a senior investigator at the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
For the study, the researchers compared excess deaths by race/ethnicity, sex, age group and cause of death from March to December 2020 with data from the same months in 2019. The team used provisional death certificate data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The findings showed that nearly 3 million people died in the United States between March 1 and Dec. 31, 2020. Compared with the same period in 2019, that totaled 477,200 excess deaths, with 74% of these excess deaths being due to COVID-19.
After taking age into account, the numbers of excess deaths by population size among Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic men and women were more than double those in white and Asian American men and women, according to the report.
The data do not explain the reasons for the excess non-COVID deaths. "It is possible that fear of seeking out health care during the pandemic or misattribution of causes of death from COVID-19 are responsible for a majority of the excess non-COVID-19 deaths," Shiels said in a news release from the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
The excess deaths that occurred during the pandemic have resulted in growing disparities in overall U.S. death rates, with the gap in age-adjusted all-cause deaths increasing between 2019 and 2020 for Black and American Indian/Alaska Native men and women compared with white men and women.
For example, the investigators found that in 2019, total deaths by population among Black men was 26% higher than in white men, but in 2020 it was 45% higher. The same held true for women. In 2019, total deaths by population among Black women was 15% higher than in white women, but in 2020 it was 32% higher, according to the report published Oct. 5 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Resistance to vaccination could be one big contributing factor.
Study co-author Dr. Eliseo Pérez-Stable is director of the U.S. National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. He said, "Our efforts at NIH to help mitigate these COVID disparities have been heavily focused on promoting testing and vaccine uptake through community-engaged research. However, vaccine hesitancy poses a real threat, so we are addressing the misinformation and distrust through collaborative partnerships with trusted community stakeholders."

In addition to the many hours she spends in dark rooms, she is also the Vice President of Blue Collar Post Collective.
Moni approached me last year because she found it nearly impossible to focus on creative tasks. She was constantly distracted by little things that kept her from doing the creative work that she loved, so much so at one point she didn't get her Visa application done in time…and she was forced to move back to Mexico! We worked together one-on-one for the next 12 weeks to help her clarify her goals and find the most important 'One Thing' in her life that she had to accomplish every day in order to get focused, avoid constantly procrastinating, and get her life organized!
My purpose for sharing this case study is to help explain the process that Moni and I worked through and the steps she took to get her life more organized and establish daily habits to help her increase her focus and productivity while actually creating more time in her day to relax. That way you can use some of these same ideas and techniques to move yourself forwards this year, whether or not you're interested in working with me one-on-one in my coaching program.

Lyft and Uber Are Bringing Cultures Together
July 2, 2018 July 2, 2018 James Walpole
By now, if you haven't ridden in a Lyft or Uber vehicle, you at least have heard one amazing story from a friend who has. Philosophical conversations, sports talks, business opportunities, and friendships have all been born of these rides taken with strangers.
One of the things I love about these rides with strangers are the moments of randomness they insert into my life. I have encounters with experiences and with people I wouldn't normally expect. Sometimes these are thrills like riding in a Tesla roadster for the first time. But more interesting have been my rides with people whose cultural backgrounds differ widely from mine.
Like most people, I tend to flock together with people who share my culture, my assumptions, my experiences, my worldviews, and yes, my ethnicity (frequently because many of those things tend to come in packages). It's easy to subconsciously and automatically separate ourselves from cultures and people foreign to us, even when they make up our own cities. Through the activities we choose, the areas we visit, and the crowds in which we run, we broaden the gap between ourselves and our neighbors. Some of this in-group flocking is benign, but often this causes us to lack empathy and respect for people who are different than us, to fail to build trust with other communities, and to miss out on a full understanding of the world.
But as others before me have noted, technology does not have the capacity to discriminate – even subsconsciously Through the delightful randomness of their driver-rider algorithms, ride-sharing services Lyft and Uber have put together this farm-bred white boy with a Nigerian immigrant, a Colombian salsa music fan, a veteran from the Pacific coast, and a member of one the native tribes of Alaska, not to mention many more interesting people.
A Lyft or Uber ride forces us to spend a stretch of time in the company of someone who may be very different than us. In those awkward moments of introduction to strangers, our instinct is to search for common ground. In those moments, brought to us (and our cities) by Lyft and Uber, we share our own vulnerabilities about salsa dancing, our shared entrepreneurial dreams, and our love of the city we all call home.
I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but someone ought to notice the public service Lyft and Uber are doing for the world. Through commercial interactions, they are helping to break down walls between cultures and and replace them with bonds of neighborliness.

EU politician Breton says Brexit is "catastrophe" for UK
By Reuters • Updated: 26/10/2021
EU politician Breton says Brexit is "catastrophe" for UK - Copyright Thomson Reuters 2021
PARIS – Thierry Breton, the French politician who is also the European Commission's internal market commissioner, said on Tuesday that Brexit was a "catastrophe" for the United Kingdom.
"Look at what is happening on the supermarket shelves, look at what is happening at the petrol pumps, look at what is happening with the shortage of nurses and doctors, look at what is happening with the shortage of truck drivers, look at what is happening in the construction sector," Breton told BFM TV.
"What is currently happening is a real drama," he added.

#MeToo's lasting impact on corporate culture, challenges for the EU's Copyright Directive, increased protections for pregnant women in the U.K., and more.
Join the Convercent team for a weekly review of the top stories and most newsworthy events in the ethics and compliance industry. The focus is global, but you might be surprised by how relevant these stories are, both across borders and businesses.
Can chatbots make workers more ethical?
When Kimberly-Clark studied employee feedback, the company realized there was an opportunity to transform how policies were organized and delivered. Leadership wanted to better support daily decision making, provide helpful information in real-time, and increase employee engagement with the code of conduct.
Convercent helped make Kimberly-Clark's dream a reality. While many bots, apps, and platforms exist to help companies enhance their ethical cultures, Convercent's tools combine policies, training, videos, interactive search, and AI-powered chatbots.
More than 21,000 people have used it across more than 60 countries in 19 languages.
There was a 2.5x increase in Helpline questions.
Employees spent an average of 3.45 minutes on a page and initiated more than 3,000 chats with the chatbot, aptly named KayCee.
We're thrilled to share this feature from the Denver Business Journal, which profiles Katie Smith, Convercent's chief ethics officer. When Katie first joined us in 2016, there was no ethics and compliance program in place. However, she had already built USAA into one of the world's most ethical companies. It's no surprise that Convercent's innovative program was up and running in a few short years.
Now, Katie is regarded as one of the industry's top experts. In this interview, Katie shares her thoughts on the biggest ethics-related challenges facing today's businesses, what startup owners in Denver need to be careful about in their early stages if they want to maintain a strong culture and reputation, and more.
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, more companies are hiring reputation management firms to help them better understand risks and potential legal liabilities. According to one such firm profiled in the above article from CNBC, calls quadrupled in 2018, with a noticeable uptick in sexual harassment issues.
These insights aren't surprising, especially considering workplace sexual harassment claims jumped more than 12 percent in the fiscal year 2018, according to data from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Now more than ever, companies are looking for best practices that will fundamentally change their corporate culture.
In other recent #MeToo news, four inspiring animated videos were premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The narrators, including actor Terry Crews, share their experiences as survivors of sexual violence.
While we often think of the Me Too movement as beginning in 2018, the original movement actually began more than 10 years ago. Me too Movement is an advocacy organization that fights sexual violence and harassment, and the group was responsible for bringing these stories into the world.
It's one explanation for the nation's recent rankings drop on the annual Corruption Perceptions Index, an anti-corruption barometer used by global companies looking to invest in new markets around the world.
The U.S. now ranks 25th, and this is the first time the country came in outside of the top 20 since 2011.
Article 11 would allow publishers to charge a fee when platforms like Google or Facebook show previews of their articles. Article 13 shifts liability for user-uploaded content onto the platform, making them responsible for confirming appropriate use of copyrighted material. Now that negotiations have backpedaled so significantly, what happens next is anyone's guess.
Last year, Google employees staged protests and walkouts that generated worldwide attention. While they were drawing attention to unethical workplace activities, the company was "quietly urging" the U.S. government to narrow legal protection for workers who organized online. In information obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request, it was found that Google encouraged the National Labor Relations Board to undo a 2014 precedent that gave employees broader rights to use their workplace email system to organize around workplace issues.
The new protections would be part of the government's Industrial Strategy, which was published last year. As a whole, it's the largest package of workplace reforms in the past 20 years.
Australia's financial sector has received substantial backlash after a government-appointed inquiry harshly criticized the industry for misconduct. An 11-month investigation revealed fees being charged to accounts of dead customers, cash bribes to win mortgage business, and more.
While two dozen cases have been referred to regulators for potential legal consequences, the structure long enjoyed by the country's banks remains largely unaltered. Instead, the Royal Commission has recommended certain changes that include a new oversight body and an overhaul of pay and salary to remove conflicts of interest.
Did you catch Convercent's end-of-year infographic and webinar? From what we can learn from 2018's top enforcement actions to the most important compliance areas to focus on this year, the information is still relevant as 2019 unfolds.
As you'll see, the main takeaway is be proactive. Once you've reviewed the infographic, don't miss the webinar that inspired it. You'll learn how to avoid an enforcement action, how to mitigate third-party risks and more.

Supply Chain Workforce Recruitment in Asia
Interview with Ben Chew, Business Director, TBC HR Consulting Pte Ltd
1. What are the challenges to supply chain workforce recruitment in Asia? Tell us more about the current state of the job market and the ongoing talent crunch.
One of the main challenges to supply chain recruitment in Asia is attracting young talent and finding means to bridge the talent-skill mismatch – wherein employers harbour high expectations from graduates coming out of schools, and in terms of aligning suitable roles and responsibilities with skills to meet the industry demands.
While at one end of the spectrum, government agencies and educational institutions are working towards bridging the mismatch gap with initiatives to infuse training early on in the academic curriculum, a career is logistics and supply chain is chosen by a rare few. Hence there is dearth of skilled manpower in this sector.
Logistic is establishing itself rapidly as a key sector in Singapore economy, and the demand for professionals in this sector is increasing steadily. To meet the talent crunch, there has been an upshot in hiring of foreign talent for skilled job roles in the supply chain and logistics sector in Asia. Also significant consolidation seems to be garnering much spotlight in the supply chain world of operations.
Considering the new industry renewal plan, unveiled by the Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam recently, there will be exciting job opportunities for Singaporeans in logistics and supply chain. The Government further intends to hand out 50 SkillsFuture Study Awards to encourage Singaporeans to develop new skills demanded by the logistics sector of the future.
2. With the dawn of the automation era, what have been the significant game-changing trends in recruiting workforce for supply chain operations?
Mechanical functions in supply chain and logistic operations will soon be replaced by robots. Automation undoubtedly offers a cost-effective alternative to human labour. However, jobs that require skilled technical manpower and human intervention can never be replaced.
Automation in distribution centres have led to increased cost-efficiencies, maximised savings and enhanced performance output, since robots never call-in sick days or miss work. Hence, product supply chain delays can be completely avoided through use of automated technologies. Large MNCs and SMEs alike are now opting for robots to take over planning and management roles.
However, in the sphere of recruitment use of advanced automation has led to quick and effective background screening of candidates. Also technical proficiencies of applicants can be tested using robots, during rounds of interviews and prompt scores can be made available using automated tools.
The robotic evolution has created demand for an entirely new set of workers with technical skillsets to control workings of dehumanised systems. Also an entirely new set of tools are available for the production line manager to now smoothly transition to robotic systems using standard parameters, set of commands and harness on the potentials of IoT.
3. How do you think organisations into SCM and logistics in Singapore can work towards bridging the industry-academia gap when it comes to training fresh grads to meet competitive industry demands?
Organisation into SCM and logistics in Singapore are required to step up to the industrial revolution 4.0 and train fresh graduates with on-the-job training to stay competitive. While the shift is alarming, and change is dynamic, organisations need to collaborate with the academia to introduce training programmes and workshops to train students in supply chain technology.
Graduates with a technical bent of mind, flexibility and agility to adapt and learn will be in demand by logistic and supply chain majors. While artificial intelligence is threatening many job roles to go obsolete, there are many job roles that have stood the test of time to require human intervention despite advancements.
Government of Singapore needs to take several initiatives to amend the educational curriculum and encourage institutions to inculcate technical training as an integral part of the supply chain management programme, and train fresh graduates to stay abreast of the industry trends.
In these times of change, talent retention is also one major challenge faced by global organisations, more evident into the supply chain realm of operations. It is required by companies to look upto people as valuable assets and invest continuously into their training and development, to set pace with the tech-savvy future.
Flexi-working arrangements and other employee benefits will help companies retain the talented workforce in supply chain.
4. How can industry-academia collaborate to provide next generation training programs for students to meet the changing demands of the SCM industry?
While there has been quite industry uproar that, automation has resulted in loss of lower-skilled jobs. Automation in a way has also led to evolution of new job roles in process design, automation, and supply chain operations. Industry-academia need to collaborate and work in tandem to develop next generation training programme to groom talent for the techie future.
As recently, The Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) and the Supply Chain and Logistics Academy (SCALA) launched the Logistics Professional Conversion Program (PCP) to reskill working Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians (PMETs) who are keen to join the logistics industry.
Also, the International Enterprise (IE) Singapore and the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) have joined forces to retrain mid-career professionals for the international trading sector. ICC Academy's industry-relevant Global Trade Certificate (GTC) programme is initiated to train graduates with knowledge on letter of credits to supply chain financing, operations and understanding trade finance from the banking perspective.
5. What are the bottlenecks to leadership training and development in Supply Chains across Asia?
Quite evident, are these two bottlenecks to leadership training and development in Supply Chains across Asia:
• Need for training programmes to develop mature leaders in association with the government to develop best practices and accelerate the supply chain transformation through leveraging disruptive technologies.
• Leaders today have limited supply chain knowledge and the industry is facing dearth of experienced professionals in leadership roles in manufacturing, distribution, supply chain management and planning roles. Leadership training needs to be provided to experience mid-level professionals to stay abreast of the technological advancements and leverage on the IoT.
6. How can organisations in Singapore capitalise on the power of data to find, recruit and train best talent in Supply Chain?
Since supply chain operations are generating massive amounts of data, artificial intelligence in turn is helping companies analyse the vast amount of data, gain a better understanding and perspective of the variables in supply chain and anticipate future demand-supply trends.
Use of artificial intelligence in supply chain will help businesses to evolve and innovate rapidly, create an agile supply chain process flow that is capable of dealing with economic downturns, change in consumer demands and uncertainties.
Automated tools can be used to streamline the recruitment process in supply chain, churn out the best talent from the pool and recruit them for suitable job roles quickly. Candidate background screening can be made possible at rapid pace with automated technologies.
Technology can be used to develop training programs to bridge the talent-skills mismatch gap witnessed by supply chain companies in Asia through data mining and analysis.

After the Second World War, the North East presented the incoming Labour government with great problems. Coal, steel and shipbuilding were in decline, yet demobbed soldiers needed jobs. Meanwhile, standards of housing in the old pit villages were deplorable. The Beveridge Report of 1942 had pledged to destroy poverty, homelessness, unemployment, ignorance and disease – and the new government was expected to create a 'Welfare' state, which would care for its citizens from the cradle to the grave.
ROF Aycliffe, (Royal Ordnance Factory, Aycliffe) was built on an 867-acre (3.51 km2) site off Heighington Lane, Aycliffe, County Durham during the early 1940s. The marshy location was ideal, as the site was shrouded in fog and mist for much of the year providing cover against bombing by the Luftwaffe.
It opened as ROF 59 (Filling factory 8) in the Spring of 1941. It operated 24 hours a day, employing some 17,000 workers in three shift groups and was operational for just over 4 years until the end of World War II in 1945, by which point it had produced some 700 million bullets and countless other munitions. The factory was designated as a 'Top Secret' installation and surrounded by high fences with barbed wire.
The workers were mainly women and became known as the "Aycliffe Angels". During its existence, the factory produced millions of finished munitions including bullets, shells and mines.
Workers were transported from surrounding areas onto the factory site by bus and train, with the mostlocal workers arriving on foot or by bicycle.
The factory was visited during the war years by Winston Churchill and members of the British Royal Family. Many well known entertainers of the day also performed at the factory for the workers.
After the war it was decided to turn it into an industrial estate. Sixty firms set up there, and by August 1946 they employed some 6,000 workers. One of the original firms was Banda – which all old teachers and office workers will remember.
The workers and their families needed somewhere to live, and Aycliffe was proposed as the possible location for a 'new town'.
There was considerable debate about what the new town should be called. Aycliffe Development Corporation proposed the name 'Newton Aycliffe', although one councillor suggested that this, as it comprised two words, would confuse the Post Office. Others campaigned for 'Yackley', 'Newcliffe' and 'Great Aycliffe'. The people of Aycliffe Village referred to Newtonians – disparagingly – as 'them up the road'.
Lord Beveridge adopted the new town as the flagship of his new welfare state. He envisaged a 'classless' town, where manager and mechanic would live next door to each other in council houses. Newton Aycliffe was to be 'a paradise for housewives' with houses grouped around greens, so children could play safely away from the roads.
There would be nurseries (to look after children while their mothers went shopping), a sports stadium, a park, and a 'district heating system' so dirty coal fires would not be necessary. The pubs were going to be state-run, and would sell nationalised beer! The town centre was to include a luxury hotel, a college and community centre, a people's theatre, a dance hall and a cinema. There were even plans to use the Port Clarence railway to give townspeople a link to the seaside. The estimated cost of the town was £10 million; a local politician, Colonel Vickery, called it 'a scandalous and unnecessary waste of public money'.
Lord Beveridge opened the first house on Tuesday, 9 November 1948. Its tenant was D.G. Perry, an ex-army captain.
A silver spade was used to cut the first sod and was signed by the guest dignitaries. The spade was stolen in 1995, but recovered by police in 2009.
Life was hard for Newtonians in the early days. 'You have got to have the pioneering spirit', Beveridge told the people, 'until you see the town of your hopes and dreams materialise'. And that was just what the early 'pioneers' did. In February 1950 the Rev. Tom Drewette – known affectionately as 'the man in black' – arrived, and edited a local news-sheet, The Newtonian. His parishioners worshipped in a deserted farmhouse, without electricity or water, using a glass fruit bowl as a font; later when St Clare's Church was built, it was designed to look like a barn, in memory of those early, pioneering days.
In November 1950 the cow byre at Clarence Farm was adapted into a community centre. The first primary school was held in a block of flats – until 1953, when Sugar Hill Primary School opened. A library was set up in one of the prefabs.
Newton Aycliffe's gardeners planted crocuses and daffodils (they held the first garden show in September 1951) and Lord Beveridge, who had come to live in the town, organised weekly tree-planting sessions.
By June 1953 – when Beveridge opened the 1000th house (houses were being painted pink and yellow, to prevent the 'new town blues') – the Auckland Chronicle was publishing a regular 'Newton Aycliffe News' section, reporting the activities of the community association (which met in the granary at Clarence Farm), the cricket, football and tennis clubs, the scouts, cubs and girl guides, a weekly cinema show, a greyhound stadium, a drama group, a Catholic women's guild, a mothers' union et al.. There was even a youth club, though it didn't have many members, for Newton Aycliffe in those early days was 'a town of toddlers'.
By 1955, the town comprised a triangle of housing, bounded by the Clarence Railway to the south, Shafto Way to the east, and Central Avenue and Pease Way to the north. The population stood at 6,600.
In those early days, every new tenant was vetted by Miss Hamilton (who was quite prepared to tell them to tidy their garden), and personally welcomed to the town by a member of the Community Association; even after 1953, as numbers grew, the Community Association held 'welcoming parties' for newcomers.
Methodist church were opened in 1955. The 'Blue Bridge' was built – so vital a road link that it is represented by the chevron on the town's coat of arms. The Working Men's Club was opened in 1956, and Vane Road School in 1959 (when it was described as 'imposing, bright and spacious'). St Mary's Church (shown right) was consecrated in 1961, and the Mormon Church – built with the help of visiting American missionaries – was finished a year later.
Behind the scenes, however, problems were arising. A new town needs lots of 'patient money' and, by 1957, the government was regretting its involvement. A 1963 White Paper promised 'to promote … economic activity' in the region, and an Amendment Order was made by Parliament in 1966, extending the area of the town and setting a new 'target population' of 45,000. But successive governments failed to deliver their promises.
Instead, in March 1957, The Daily Express delivered a bombshell. Merrick Winn, in an article entitled 'The Town That Has No Heart', lambasted Newton Aycliffe as 'perfect planning and perfect monotony … nothing to do and nowhere to go.' Most of all, he criticised the town centre: 'twelve small shops, a few more half-built, and a keen, cold wind' (few shopkeepers were prepared to set up in an empty town and wait for customers to move in).
On the other hand, the newspapers (particularly the Northern Despatch, in a column called 'Newton Aycliffe View', by Marjorie Spark) reported an endless stream of clubs, trips and shows organised by the people of Newton Aycliffe.
Remembrance Sunday and the Good Friday procession to 'the green hill' became annual community events. A festival was held for a fortnight every summer, with a different event each day; later this became the annual Carnival, which survived until 1991.
The 'seventies began badly, when T. Dan Smith (the Chairman of ADC) was charged with (and eventually found guilty of) conspiracy and corruption. His successor Dennis Stevenson, however, was young (26), energetic and imaginative, and the 1970s were a time of rapid development for the Town.
In 1974, the Parish Council was re-designated 'Great Aycliffe Town Council'. The first mayor was local Labour politician Win Dormer. The Council began the annual Bonfire Night fireworks, and an annual civic ball. New toilets were opened in the town centre. In 1974 the Recreation Centre opened – as well as a sports hall and swimming pool, it offered a cinema service, hiring in a programme of films until lack of public interest forced it to stop in 1977. The Burnhill Way Boys' Club opened in 1976, the same year that the Rotary Club was formed. The next year, a Municipal Golf Course was opened – and at the same time an Angling Pond was constructed. There were even improvements to the town centre. Boots' opened a large store in 1978, followed by the Fine Fare supermarket in 1979. In 1979, also, a weekly open-air market was started on a pedestrianised Beveridge Way.
ADC also improved its housing stock. After 1976, OAPs were given free insulation and a £300,000 project was announced to convert houses with flat roofs (and put an end to Aycliffe's 'little boxes'). By this time, the myth of a 'classless town' was considered out-of-date. Private contractors were allowed to build new housing estates – for instance Byerley Park, the Chase and Woodham Village (after 1981). In September 1979 ADC began selling its council houses. By the end of the 'seventies, new housing had been added in the Horndale, Byerley Park, Chase, Burnhill and Agnew areas. The population neared 28,000.
January 1980, however, opened with news of job losses at Eaton. The news set the tone for the decade. The region lost 'Development Area' status, and there was a steady succession of redundancies. The Newtonian called it: 'death by a thousand cuts'. By 1986, the number employed on the Industrial Estate had fallen to less than 8,000.
There was trouble in the town centre, too. The Thames Centre, completed in 1984, was disappointing. A steady stream of shops closed down. Most blamed high rents; many were family firms that had been there since the early days of the town – Hackett and Baines, Wentons, the Wool Shop.
The newspapers of the eighties give the impression that almost everything was going wrong. In 1982, and again in 1986, there were acrimonious campaigns to close down Greenfield School. The Equestrian Centre held its first event in 1984, and began its long dispute to secure access to the A167 (the failure of which eventually ruined it).
Even the character of the townspeople came under attack. When Burt's Carpets closed down, the manager claimed that most of his business was DHSS cheques, and labelled Newton Aycliffe 'Giro city'. A Health Authority survey found that Newton Aycliffe had the highest incidences in the District of solvent and alcohol abuse and marital breakdown.
Aycliffe stopped growing; the population fell, to about 25,000.
ADC had handed over its housing assets to the then Sedgefield District Council (since abolished in the local government reorganisation of 2009) in 1978. It sold the Industrial Estate (to Helical Bar) in 1987, and was dissolved in 1988.
After eight years of doom and gloom, things began to change for the better. In August 1988, both Flymo and Tallent announced that they were expanding. Hydro Polymers announced a £50 million extension in 1989, and 3M invested nearly £10 million in its factory. One firm even started drilling for oil! Meanwhile, Sanyo and Fujitsu represented a massive Japanese 'inward investment' in the town (by the end of 1994, Fujitsu had invested £300 million in its Aycliffe plant).
In 1997, Newton Aycliffe's MP became Prime Minister.
Perhaps because the economic climate has been generally more positive, the 'nineties saw a change in the nature of the issues which concerned Aycliffe people. There were still complaints about lack of facilities – but residents seemed to have accepted that the old ADC vision of 'a self-contained community' was impossible. Many people were happy to treat Newton Aycliffe as their home, and the town centre as a convenience, but to look outside the town for leisure and for 'comparison goods'.
The controversial press issues of the 'nineties were 'wheely' bins, bad neighbours, dog fouling, the state of the 'Avenue site' and traffic-calming schemes. The District Council introduced a £1 million 'Carelink' scheme, the 'Community Force', and, in 1998, a Carers' Centre. The Town Council's playgroups registered for Ofsted, became Pre-School Learning centres and an Environmental Ranger was appointed to nurture the Parish's environment.
In 1998, the town which was Beveridge's 'bold experiment' celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. The anniversary engendered a genuine sense of civic pride. The Town Council made the creation of a circular walk – the Great Aycliffe Way – the central focus of its celebrations. Newton Aycliffe was not and perhaps never could be the 'dream town' the early pioneers envisaged, but it had come through the period of its 'new town blues'.
For a decade, Aycliffe's MP was PM, and the town became accustomed to being a focus of world attention. In 2000 French President Jacques Chirac dined at the County Hotel in Aycliffe Village, and in 2003 US President George Bush visited Sedgefield Constituency.
Funding poured into local industry, community ventures such as Greenfield Community Arts Centre (2000) and initiatives such as the Aycliffe Church Heritage Centre (2001) and SureStart (2005). In 2008 Newton Aycliffe got a wonderful war memorial, and in November 2009, the Aycliffe Head was lowered into place at the southern entrance to the town; one local wit campaigned for a similar structure to the north, on the grounds that 'two heads are better than one'.
Despite setbacks, the Industrial Park held its own economically, based on firms such as Filtronic, Tallent, Electrolux and Norsk Hydro. In 2005, the estate was workplace for a workforce of 9000, and in 2006 – as a marker for the future – there was a £1.5 million improvement of the Park's main entrance (although its big balls attracted some derision).
There was ecological progress, too. The Borough Council began recycling and garden waste schemes in 2003. Aycliffe Village won Northumbria in Bloom in three successive years, 2000-2002.
There was even progress on the town centre. Work on the First Phase culminated in 2003 with the building on the former Avenue site of not only a huge TESCO supermarket, but of a new Youth Centre, an award-winning Town Centre Park, and the first quarter of an impressive central concourse which was to link the new development to the old town centre. In 2006, TESCO conducted a major extension and became a TESCO Extra, revolutionising shopping in the town.
In 2005, the Aycliffe Angels were honoured to celebrate their founding contribution to the town and their service to the country during the Second World War.
But the good times were tailing off. After the collapse of Northern Rock in 2007 and the world financial crisis which followed, the Industrial Park shared in the general economic recession, with job losses and the closure of Schott Glass.
In 2007, also, Tony Blair retired as Prime Minister.
Anger grew as progress ground to a halt on a half-finished town centre marred by an abandoned and rotting Health Centre. There were successive campaigns about the lack of toilets in the town centre. In the 2007 elections, the townspeople vented their exasperation on the local Labour politicians, many of whom lost their seats; for a while, the Town Council was 'hung' with 15 opposition councillors and 15 Labour.
These were the years of fears and frustration about terrorism, the Iraq War, global warming, swine flu etc., and the mood of the town dipped with the mood of the nation. There was a sense of disillusionment and fractiousness. In 2004, a campaign group in Aycliffe Village tried (though unsuccessfully) to break free from Great Aycliffe and set up their own Parish Council. In 2008 Woodham Technology College Sixth Form was closed – a major blow to the status of the town.
In 2009 Sedgefield Borough Council was abolished and the town was absorbed into the Durham County Council unitary authority. Soon after, in an acrimonious campaign, the town's social housing (and a lot of its publicly-owned land) was handed over to a social landlord, Sedgefield Borough Homes.
It seemed as though everything was turning sour.
Against the trend, the 2010s started well for Aycliffe. Phil Wilson, who had succeeded to Tony Blair's seat in 2007, proved himself an energetic and successful MP. In 2008 he had raised the issue of Aycliffe's town centre in the House of Commons, and eventually work restarted on the Second Phase in 2011. In the same year, news came through that he had persuaded the government to agree to the development – by the Japanese firm Hitachi – of a new railway factory, a decision which would hopefully secure the town's economy.
At the start of the second decade of the 21st century – with the 1940s world of the 'pioneers' transformed into the high-tech, private enterprise, e-network world of today – our town stares with some trepidation into an uncertain future, amidst national news of economic and environmental crises, government cutbacks and social tensions.
But Aycliffe's treasures are not, and never have been, in its state-provided facilities; they lie in the character and efforts of its citizens.
And we remain committed to the original vision: to create 'a town where everyone will want to live'.
Note: There is no adequate history of Newton Aycliffe. Relevant sources include Vera Chapman, Around Newton Aycliffe (a book of photographs); John Wearmouth, This from That (a short history of the Methodist Church) and Stella Aberdeen, Newton Aycliffe 1948-68 (a personal account in the town library). Garry Philipson, Aycliffe and Peterlee New Towns 1946-88, by a former Development Corporation Managing Director, is disappointing. The new town records are 'official secrets' and cannot be accessed for 50 years! The County Record Office, County Hall, Durham, however, has five scrapbooks of press cuttings covering the period 1948-1974 (ref. NT/AY2/1-5); and the town library has copies of the Newtonian/ Newton News for the period 1974-present.
In July 2009 Aycliffe Local History Society produced an excellent 90-minute video history of the village, backed up with extensive support materials; in September they held an exhibition celebrating the history of the village. There is also a short video of the Aycliffe Angels story. (Unfortunately both files are too large to show on this website.) There continues a desperate need for somebody to organise an oral history project about the town.


Do you want a high or low loft pillow?
Loft… Loft? Did he say loft? What on earth is he talking about?
You can essentially replace the word 'loft' with 'height'. So when the salesman is talking about the loft of your pillow, he is simply referring to the height of the pillow, when it lays flat on your bed.
Some pillow brands use the term "profile" instead instead of loft. With a low profile pillow being thing and a high profile pillow being thick.
It gets a little confusing in that there isn't an exact measurement that marks the difference between a high loft and low loft pillow. However, the correct term to use is loft.
Now we must stress that this was averaged out over many pillows. This should not be used a guideline. Take the Malouf low loft pillow for instance. Despite claims of being low loft, it was over 4 inches thick. Definitely on the higher side of loftiness.
When pillow shopping, you will often come across the pillows loft, followed by the words plush or firm.
While the loft refers to the height of the pillow, the word plush or firm refer to just how soft the pillow is.
A high-loft plush for instance would refer to a thick pillow that is soft enough that your head can sink into it. On the flip side, a low-loft firm would refer to a thin pillow that has a hard and supportive surface, to keep your head propped up.
This is important to take into consideration, as you might find that a high loft pillow sinks down to a medium loft once you place the weight of your sleeping head on top of it.
If you have the opportunity to test a pillow before you buy it, be sure to spend at least 5 minutes laying on it. This way you will be able to determine just how far your head sinks in and whether or not you will need a higher loft or a firmer pillow.
How do you determine the right loft for you?
The position you sleep in at night will help determine the right pillow loft for you.
Supportive yet not so lofty that it pushes your neck forward. Doing so will result in your spine being thrown out of line and difficulty breathing. A low-medium loft firm or high loft plush pillow is commonly used by back sleepers.
When it comes to stomach sleeping, low loft is where it's at. The heads of stomach sleepers sit lowest to the mattress, and only need a thin pillow to rest their head, otherwise you risk angling your neck upwards, throwing your spine out of alignment. Many stomach sleepers prefer a low-loft plush pillow.
You want a pillow that bridges the gap that your shoulders leave between your neck and head. Your head should rest on the pillow in a way that keeps your neck horizontal with your spine. Side sleepers use the loftiest of pillows with Medium to high loft pillows being favored by many side sleepers.
To put it simply, the loft of your pillow entirely depends on how high your head would naturally sit off the mattress. Your pillow fills in that gap, allowing you to comfortably rest your head at an appropriate height, so that you can fall asleep without getting a stiff neck.
Below are some factors that will determine the height where your head naturally rests, and by association, how lofty your pillow needs to be.
1. Mattress firmness – You will sink lower into a soft mattress than you will into a firm one.
2. Body size/weight – A heavier or larger body places more pressure on a mattress, sinking further than a lighter or smaller body.
3. Pillow Placement – Sleeping on the edge of your pillow will see you need a loftier pillow than someone who sleeps in the center.
4. Shoulder size – For side sleepers, a broad shouldered person will need a higher loft pillow, because the shoulder width causes the head to sit higher off the mattress.
5. Head size – A larger, heavier head will need a loftier pillow than someone with a smaller and lighter head.
By paying attention to how your head naturally rests in your favorite sleeping position, you will have a better understanding of just how lofty you need your pillow to be.

Race and the NBA: Top 3 Whitest NBA Teams.
Top 3 Whitest NBA teams and it's not who you'd guess.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Race and basketball have always been debated, argued, and pretented to be ignored. Here's a look at the numbers.
Although basketball has become a hugely international game, many still associate it with Black America. People believe rightly or wrongly that the NBA is 99% black and that all the players that matter are black.
The numbers don't lie. Last season 75.6% of all minutes played in the NBA were from black players, while whites only played 18.6% of the minutes. This is a powerful statistic that goes beyond simply what racial breakdown exists on each team and gets to the heart of who is actually in the game.
Here are the three whitest NBA teams based on the percentage of white players on their roster. Many people generally associate teams like the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics with white players, but Boston and Utah didn't even make the Top 10 this season.
Top 3 Whites NBA Teams of 2012
1. Milwaukee Bucks 38.3%
2. Minnesota Timberwolves 36.3%
3. Orlando Magic 33.7%
It is important to remember with these types of statistics that NBA teams are comprised of a maximum of 15 signed players and 12 suited to play. This means changing just a few players on any given team can make a significant difference to that team's overall percentage. Also, statistics showed absolutely no correlation between race / ethnicity and wins. Teams with more players of any given race were statistically no more likely to win.
Some will say examining race within the NBA is wrong and that basketball is colorblind. There is some truth to this. Statistics show that General Managers across the NBA build their teams based on skill and not racial or ethnic considerations. With this said, race remains a significant component of the American and our athletic landscape. To pretend it doesn't exist is perhaps the most truly blind and apathetic solution.
Notes: Data provided by UCF College of Business Administration: Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports. Here is a direct link to the full data set. The coding of race is by self-identification. The same method used by the U.S. Census. Additional Data Source: TIDES & A Screaming Comes Across The Court.

Call of Duty Infinite Warfare vs. Battlefield 1: Which Game Will Emerge Champion This Season?

CoD Infinite Warfare Vs Battlefield 1: Which Will Earn Your Vote?
Which game will take the crown this year?
The 2016 season will see the launch of both Call of Duty Infinite Warfare and Battlefield. Trailers for both games have been released on YouTube, giving us a hint of what to expect.
Call of Duty have dominated the first person shooter category for many years, will 2016 be the same?
Maybe Battlefield 1 will take over this season. In this article, we will discuss each game, the good, the bad, the trailers and most importantly which game we think will emerge champion.
Let's begin with Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare
The newest CoD game will be the most futuristic of them all.
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare will be released on the 4th of November 2016. The 13th CoD game will be set in the future, like Black Ops 3 and Advanced Warfare. With one major change, outer space.
This is a brand new setting for Call of Duty players, and will bring with it space combat. The reason for moving into space is that in the future era, Earth will have run out of natural resources. And Mankind will have to take to the universe to look for more.
Space may not be for all CoD players, let's look at the good and bad of Infinite Warfare based on what we know so far.
Infinite Warfare will bring a lot of changes. Some good, some not so good. But it's all up for discussion. First, we will talk about what is good news for every CoD player:
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered
Captain Price is set to make a welcomed return along with Modern Warfare.
A legacy edition of Infinite Warfare will be on offer when the game launches. In this legacy edition, there will be Infinite Warfare, as well as Modern Warfare Remastered. An improved version of Call of Duty 4.
This is great news for all fans. For any die-hard fans you will remember the great CoD 4 days. If you weren't lucky enough to experience this game, the remastered edition will give you another chance.
CoD 4 is a fan favourite for all Call of Duty players. It is no surprise that the community is very excited for this release. As long as Infinity Ward keep the game mechanics and movement the same as before, and upgrade the graphics, it should go down a treat!
The zombies even have some upgrades of their own
Infinity ward have never included Zombies. Their last release, Ghosts, had extinction. A game mode that was similar to zombies, but involved aliens instead.
Zombies was first introduced in World at War and it will be interesting to see Infinity Ward's first attempt at the game mode. I expect them to add their own style to zombies.
Anyway, back to Infinite Warfare. Zombies is going to be included, which is a bonus!
Single Player Campaign
What will the commander have in store for us?
Black Ops 3 had a co-op campaign which had some mixed opinions. The good news is Infinite Warfare is going to focus on a completely single player campaign, no more co-op.
Over the years, campaign mode has seemed to get worse and worse. The storyline was dull and most effort was put into the features around it, such as co-op. The good news is that with a focus on single player campaign the storyline could improve, possibly a better campaign experience overall.
Now, let's have a look at the not so good features of Infinite Warfare. These aspects we aren't so excited about.
CoD Modern Warfare Remastered Not Sold Separately
The legacy edition is estimated at $80/£60
This angered a lot of fans. You will have to buy the legacy edition of IW to get the remastered modern warfare, you may have to pay up to $80 for this edition. A sum many fans will simply not pay.
People were very excited at the thought of the remastered Modem Warfare edition, however this news disappointed them. Surely both games could be offered separately. I think Activision would make even more money that way.
But maybe Infinity Ward are scared that Infinite Warfare will not have the amount of sales they wished for, if the games were to be sold apart.
Another Futuristic Game
Call of Duty: Space Warfare… no thanks.
Black Ops 2, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 3. What do these games have in common? They are all set in the future.
And now, Infinite Warfare will follow the same pattern. Call of Duty hasn't had a change of scene in 4 years. Every year, the games get more and more futuristic. But it isn't what fans want.
A lot fans want to return to the world war era. With improved gameplay, CoD could make a better world at war game. And it would go down well.
But it isn't to be.
In to space we go…
Light it up in the new battlefield with your very own flamethrower.
Battlefield 1 will be launched on the 21st of October 2016. The 12th battlefield game will be set in World War 1. Just like other battlefield games it will stay in the world war era.
If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Right?
This is a familiar setting for Battlefield players, and will bring with it real historical events. Including bolt action rifles, flamethrowers, tanks, and trenches, all the world war requirements will feature in this game.
Maps will be based all around the world, from the Alps to Arabia. It seems DICE have done their work on this game. So, let's talk about the good and bad of battlefield 1.
Single-Player Campaign Variety
You better be ready for horseback fighting!
The campaign mode will have a lot of multiple choice features. This different selection will create an exciting story line. Other battlefield games have had only one story line, so this is definitely something to be excited about.
You can also complete your own unique campaign mode and see how it plays out based on your decisions, very cool.
Realistic & Enjoyable
Hack down your enemies with bayonets in the trench warfare
There is a good balance of historical facts, and entertaining gameplay. The game developers have took their time to understand World War 1. Equipment, weapons, and vehicles that all make sense within the world war era.
This will make the game more enjoyable, it will give a realistic feel to the gameplay. The trailer shows that the game is accurate on its facts.
There isn't many things seen in the trailer that would be too futuristic for the World War 1 setting. Proving DICE really have done their homework.
Having watched the trailers, there isn't much criticism for this game. That and the fact that the trailer was quite short. Many gamers want this world war setting gameplay, and it's coming. It looks great so far.
Let's move on to the biggest discussion in the community so far. The trailer battle! IW vs Battlefield 1.
YouTube Trailer Battle
So, let's begin with the facts about these trailers.
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare released 2nd May. 21M views. 363k likes. 2.2M dislikes.
Battlefield 1 trailer released 6th May. 30M views. 1.5M likes. 27k dislikes.
It is obvious to see which the fan favourite is. Call of Duty Infinite Warfare has been named the most disliked trailer of all time, the second most disliked YouTube video, ever. Breaking all the wrong records.
Check out why the trailer did so badly here. (link to article on why it got 1 mil dislikes).
Battlefield 1 completely blew Infinite Warfare away. And it was no surprise, the trailer was excellent. In just over a minute, it showed a lot of features in the game.
Compared to the Infinite Warfare trailer, which was long and boring, over 3 minutes long. Plus the fans didn't even like what they saw, space warfare.
Who Will Emerge Champion?
Call of Duty is known for being the world's number 1 favourite shooter. Attracting more players than any other shooting game. Battlefield has always been more realistic and down to earth, rather than futuristic.
This attracts a lot of competitive players, people who want to play against the best. But are we going to see a turn of tides? Battlefield 1 has had a great response already. As for Infinite Warfare, it experienced the complete opposite.
Maybe this year we will see all those Call of Duty fans who want a change of environment, switch over to Battlefield 1. This would increase the fan base, and the competitive players in the Battlefield game.
In my opinion, Battlefield 1 will emerge champion in the first person shooter scene this year. But I do think it will be close. Simply for Call of Duty's name, many people will buy the game.
The remastered modern warfare edition will also greatly help sales. So far, Battlefield 1 has looked the best. The trailer's been great, all news released is what the fans want.
Infinite Warfare has failed, the only thing going for it is Modern Warfare Remastered by the looks of it.
With months away from both games being launched, things could change. We will also hear more news as the release date gets closer. Who knows what could happen in this time period, but my vote goes to Battlefield 1.

Enzymatic Degradation of Ribosomes During Endogenous Respiration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Gronlund, Audrey F. (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada), and J. J. R. Campbell. Enzymatic degradation of ribosomes during endogenous respiration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. J. Bacteriol. 90:1–7. 1965.—From sedimentation analyses it was found that the ribosomal content of Pseudomonas aeruginosa decreased during endogenous respiration. A greater degree of degradation of 50S than 30S ribosomes occurred during the 3-hr starvation period. The enzyme responsible for the initiation of ribosome degradation and present in the ribosome fraction was identified as polynucleotide phosphorylase. The enzyme was inactive in intact 70S ribosomes, but was active in low magnesium ion concentrations which allowed the 70S ribosome to dissociate. Polynucleotide phosphorylase was not solubilized after dissociation of the 70S particle, but remained firmly attached to the 50S and 30S ribosomes, the ribonucleic acid of which served as substrate.
Journal of Bacteriology Jul 1965, 90 (1) 1-7; DOI:
You are going to email the following Enzymatic Degradation of Ribosomes During Endogenous Respiration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa


When reading the synopsis of a potential new read, there are certain words and phrases which almost guarantee I will love the book. With phrases like, former psychiatric home, witches, suspicious villagers; I instantly knew The Lingering was my kind of read.
Married couple Ali and Jack are looking for a change. They want a new life free of bills, stress, and jobs. The Rosalind House Community Project is just what Ali and Jack need. Located in northern Scotland, The Rosalind House and its residents are independent of everything Ali and Jack want to escape. When they arrive the normal order of the house is disturbed, strange things begin to happen. Some residents suspect Ali and Jack are the cause of the upset, but The Rosalind House has secrets which date back long before Ali and Jack arrived. Secrets which refused to be buried and are revealing themselves in a chilling and terrifying manner.
The Rosalind House is a main character in The Lingering alongside Ali and Jack. The house has a dark history going back to the 1800s. Death and suffering hover over the house like a dark cloud. People who live in the nearby village are wary of those who reside at The Rosalind house. Stories of the tragic events which occurred in the house have become local lore. Books which feature a house as a major aspect of the plot are some of my favorite books. I enjoy reading about the feelings people experience when they enter the house as well as how their actions are influenced. I find these types of stories are usually the most atmospheric and mesmerizing. The Lingering is no exception to this rule.
I understand the appeal of a commune. A group of people coming together who share the same ideals working towards a common goal. Putting everyone's strengths to use and making them all feel as if they are an invaluable asset in reaching the group's goal. Although the residents work towards a common goal and aim to treat each other with respect, I could not help but be suspicious of each character. Why did they join the commune? Are they running away from something? The remote location along with characters who have isolated themselves from the world made The Lingering a locked door mystery with loads of suspense.
The Lingering features some supernatural elements. I usually steer clear of these types of books but my last few reads have contained mystical elements and I have truly enjoyed them. The Lingering is a unique and chilling addition to the latest trend of crime fiction with a gothic twist. Fans of The Death of Mrs.Westaway by Ruth Ware and The Craftsman by Sharon Bolton should add The Lingering to their list of must reads.

Quick Answer: What is the difference between Martin Luther and John Calvin?
Did John Calvin know Martin Luther?
How did Martin Luther influence John Calvin?
How did Calvinism differ from Lutheranism and Catholicism?
How did Martin Luther believe one could find salvation?
What are John Calvin's followers not allowed to do?
What did John Calvin disagree with Luther on most?
What Bible did John Calvin use?
Who is Martin Luther and what did he do?
What were some of the similarities and differences between Lutheranism and Calvinism?
What is the opposite of Calvinist?
Does the Catholic Church believe in predestination?
What did the 95 theses say?
What does Martin Luther say about redemption?
Why do Protestants not believe in purgatory?
He believed everything was already planned before even you were born. Luther believed that the state and the church should be separated. The state should have all the power. While on the other hand Calvin believed that the state and the church should not be subject to one another and vice versa.
John Calvin never met Martin Luther; indeed, they never communicated directly. … Later, when his own brief to the German reformer was discreetly put aside by Philip Melanchthon because of Luther's anticipated response, Calvin was devastated.
Without doubt, Calvin was influenced by Luther in his understanding of the prophetic voice in scripture, with Luther teaching that the prophets were instruments of the Holy Spirit, although they were often rejected by the people to whom they spoke.
IT IS INTERESTING: What was the point of Luther's 95 Theses?
Calvinists broke from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. Calvinists differ from Lutherans (another major branch of the Reformation) on the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, theories of worship, the purpose and meaning of baptism, and the use of God's law for believers, among other things.
Instead, he believed that salvation was a gift from God that people could earn in faith. People were saved by their faith, not by doing good works. Martin Luther believed that people could gain salvation by simply having faith. … Martin Luther nailed the famous document, the Ninety-Five Theses, to a church door.
In the first five years of his rule in Geneva, 58 people were executed and 76 exiled for their religious beliefs. Calvin allowed no art other than music, and even that could not involve instruments.
Modern depiction of John Calvin in his later years, holding the Scriptures (Geneva Bible) which he declared as necessary for human understanding of God's revelation. Calvin's general, explicit exposition of his view of Scripture is found mainly in his Institutes of the Christian Religion.
IT IS INTERESTING: What Bible does the Presbyterian Church use?
Who was Martin Luther? Martin Luther, a 16th-century monk and theologian, was one of the most significant figures in Christian history. His beliefs helped birth the Reformation—which would give rise to Protestantism as the third major force within Christendom, alongside Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy.
Calvinism salvation belief is that of predestination (chosen few) whereas Lutheranism believes any one can attain salvation through faith. … Calvinism stresses the absolute sovereignty of God whereas Lutheranism believes man has some control over certain aspects in his life.
Arminianism, a theological movement in Christianity, a liberal reaction to the Calvinist doctrine of predestination. The movement began early in the 17th century and asserted that God's sovereignty and man's free will are compatible.
Catholicism teaches the doctrine of predestination, while rejecting the classical Calvinist view known as "double predestination".
Martin Luther posts 95 theses
In his theses, Luther condemned the excesses and corruption of the Roman Catholic Church, especially the papal practice of asking payment—called "indulgences"—for the forgiveness of sins.
All have sinned and are justified freely, without their own works and merits, by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, in His blood (Romans 3:23-25). This is necessary to believe. This cannot be otherwise acquired or grasped by any work, law, or merit.
IT IS INTERESTING: What did Martin Luther King Jr mean when he said I have a dream?
The classic Protestant argument against Purgatory, aside from the lack of biblical support, is that Jesus' death eliminated the need for any afterlife redress of sin. Catholics reply that divine mercy doesn't exonerate a person from the need to be transformed.
What is biblical godliness?
How did the apostles spread the gospel?

Q: To allow only one numeric value in text box based on regular expression in AngularJs I'm using ng-pattern :
 <input type="text" ng-model="price" name="price_field" ng-pattern-restrict="/^[4]*$/" required only-digits>

Please let me know what to do that it does not accept any other numbers except 4. I am using directive for digits that is only-digits.

A: EDIT: SORRY WRONG ANGULAR VERSION - but if you can transform this to angularjs it will be work!
You can use (input) event in you HTML input element
<input type="number" (input)="check($event)">

Than in your ts you cehck value of input
  check(event) {
    console.log(event);
    if (+event.data !== 4) {
      event.target.value = '';
    }
  }

A: The pattern which you are mentioned is not a valid regex pattern. Instead of that try to use this /^([4]){1}?$/ Hope you will get it.
 <input type="text" ng-model="price" name="price_field" ng-pattern-restrict="/^([4]){1}?$/" required only-digits>

A: Try to use below restrict pattern :
<input type="text" ng-model="price" name="price_field" ng-pattern-restrict="^[4]{1}?$" required only-digits>

And below validation message :

    Not a valid number!
