The guy was an outlier - he wasn't very bright and he didn't even seem to understand plays very well... but he sure as hell knew where the football was and could close fast and make a perfect tackle. I'll never forget the one game where the opponent made a really effective fake one direction and on TV it looked like EVERYONE on the Bengals fell for it, you see this guy running free on the other side, and it's like "oh gawd no..." then out of nowhere, there's Odell, fires right up on the guy and downs him for a loss with a perfect, hard tackle. Nobody else within 20 yards. IIRC Marvin was asked what the play was such that Odell was still in position and Marvin's answer was something along the lines of "he wasn't in position... he just saw the play and his instincts took over. It's hard as coaches to see it but until he fails to make the play we won't change him". Just a pure football player. We all know what happened to him but at least as far as I'm concerned, the guy needed help and the league wasn't interested. Sure there is a high probability he was beyond help, but if everyone recalls Odell was either the first or near the first player that Goodell ever punished, and it certainly seemed like he wanted to make an example of him. I remember the articles by Hobson which quoted the players saying what Odell needs is to be with his teammates, if for no other reason to keep him away from the bad influences in his life. Dude was banned from communicating with anyone - just basically kicked to the curb with "come back when you're better". That changed later but at least for me Odell had the misfortune of being a test subject for Goodell. From my perspective Odell was a serious alcoholic who needed intervention. Lots of guys don't deserve help in the league, gang bangers like Hernandez, evil psychos like Greg Hardy, toxic fools like AB, but Odell never struck me as anything but a guy who wasn't very bright, was addicted to alcohol, and came from a place where trust was hard to come by.
The Official Super Joe Burrow Dress Rehearsal Game Thread
HavePityPlease replied to Le Tigre's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
I like how every talking head outfit in the football world are only talking about one of a couple of things right now: either a) how Burrow should try to avoid getting picked by the Bengals or b) which teams could *really* use Burrow, and what kind of trade do they need to make with the Bengals to get there? The common denominator is, of course, the Bengals don't deserve him and shouldn't have him. I think it was ESPN who had Schefter on to talk about option b). Their base premise was that some teams out there are only missing a QB and should shoot for... the unproven rookie QB? So accepting that premise, the question becomes how do they get him? What do they need to trade? Of course it's only the Dolphins who have any kind of obvious package to offer, but they talk about teams like the Panthers (because Joe Brady) and the Chargers (because QB)... hello? Guys? The Bengals need a fuckin' QB! At least Schefter did preface it by saying "this isn't necessarily even likely to happen, but..." Option a) has mostly been coming from Stephen A., who says Mike Brown doesn't deserve a guy that good while in the same breath saying the Bengals have some of the best fans. Weird logic there Stephen, punish the owner to.. help the awesome fans? Oh wait, right, you don't actually *care* about the fans, just that there is some vain chance your shitty team might get Burrow. Dumb. It would be nice to hear some talking head outfit outside of the Cincinnati bubble talk about how Burrow could help turn *this* franchise around. How it'd be a great story for him to return to southern Ohio and bring some happiness and hope. But nope, it's gotta be all about how other teams might be able to get their grubby paws on this guy; how AMAZING the Panthers would be if they were able to get Burrow and reunite him with Brady; how he'd be an awesome understudy to Brees if he somehow got to stay in Louisiana and join the Saints. Imagine if, say, the Giants hadn't picked Jones last year and ended up with the first pick this year. Would we be hearing anything other than "well the Giants are saved, they got their QB... maybe better than Eli!" etc and so on? Of course not. I know, it comes with the territory and it's nothing new, but I have to admit, I'm as nervous as anyone that the Bengals will screw this up until I hear Goodell say "The Cincinnati Bengals select... Joe Burrow". I always wonder how long it will be until the NFL is as corrupt as the NBA with stuff like this; allowing teams to play fast and loose with the roster rules to not just allow, but help create "dynasty teams". I mean, as a Raptors fan we've been screwed by this countless times, literally from day one - Toronto and Vancouver were banned from getting #1 overall from 1995-1998, and thus even though the Raptors won the #1 overall pick in the lottery in 1996, they couldn't draft Iverson. Several free agent signings by the Raps have been cancelled by the league because of "operational mistakes", allowing that player to join one of the dynasty teams (and thus only using the Raptors as leverage for a higher payout - sound familiar?). I firmly believe that if Kawhi hadn't been coming off injury last season they never would have allowed the Raps to complete that trade. And of course, we may have been able to keep Kawhi (I actually doubt it) if not for the league once again helping teams collude to orchestrate the *precise* trade one star player wanted to allow a dynasty team to be formed. I believe it's coming to the NFL, it's just a matter of when.
Building the 2020 Bengals
HavePityPlease replied to High School Harry's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
While an upgrade on Ross is obviously the best choice, it's highly unlikely. I think we'll just have to hope that Joe and his incredible deep ball accuracy gives Ross more confidence than Andy and his knack for leaving them short so that receivers have to battle for it (granted Ross has dropped several wide-open passes over these two seasons).
How about giving Tate a one-on-one jump ball (something Burrow is an absolute master at)? Tate should be salivating right now.

With the First Pick ... In the Second Round...
I've seen it in a mock or something, but if by some chance K'Lavon Chaisson from LSU declares, I'd love to see him at 33. In that semi-final he was amazing, making plays everywhere.

HavePityPlease replied to MichaelWeston's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
At least at a high level, the offensive system was *meant* to be pretty much exactly what the Rams run... lots of 3-receiver sets. As outlined in an article late in the season, it leaked out that they abandoned this scheme and made a mish-mash of various ideas from Van Pelt, Turner and others. This was much more effective (mainly because they actually used Mixon the right way). So from my perspective whatever scheme comes about for next season won't be what Taylor tried to implement at the start of this season, but probably a different scheme that takes parts of everything they learned from this season. For his part Taylor already said what they do next year won't be what they tried this year. The good part is they all apparently learned that they didn't have the personnel to implement the Rams system so hopefully whatever emerges fits the players. TL;DR: There is no scheme right now, Taylor and staff are creating a new one for next season. We just have to hope it looks more like the last 8 games than the first 8.

Heh heh ehhhh that asshole Peter King. I bet you dollars to donuts he actually did something really shitty here: I bet King actually did bring the Seattle writer somewhere he didn't belong. You think Wyche would follow through and call King's boss to get him fired, as part of an elaborate motivational scheme? For one football game? King has proven over the years he has the emotional intelligence of a Hefty bag full of hog fat (and an ego the size of ten such bags), so I'll side on precedent here.
Would he really make a lateral move? Dude was the star of this coaching staff, bar none. I guess if they pay him huge $$ then maybe? FWIW he seems to be the type of guy who greatly appreciates the... eh... "generosity" (read: total predictability) of Mike Brown.
Playoff Bandwagon departing from platform 2-14
HavePityPlease replied to T-Dub's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
Not disagreeing with the base premise, but Metcalf was selected with the last pick of the second round. This was the theme the announcers leaned on the entire game yesterday, i.e. every team's scouting whiffed on this guy.
Agree on this. The Bengals tend to spend a lot on their own re-ups (justified or not), bring in one or two scrub-to-no-name FA's, and then send out Hobknob to tell us how we're in a cap crisis. To be fair to BFITO, he was simply stating what *he* would do. I don't think any old-time fan like most of us here needs to outline what MB is *likely* to do. We can all fantasize a little bit, right? To add some perspective, it can get much worse with regard to fan-base fantasies. I am also a Maple Leafs fan and let me tell you, no fan base can hold a candle to the... ahem... "creative" ideas presented by the colourful folks in our group. Some variation of "here's what you do: make Don Cherry the GM... make Tie Domi the coach... trade <insert bum> for <insert perennial all-star> and then get <insert collection of goon players>. Cup, baby!". For every CrackpipeBob and OSU blood-oath homer around here you have at least 20-30 of the above around Leaf land.

HavePityPlease replied to Catfish Bob's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
I'm sorry to contribute to this silliness, but I think it's pretty clear when Brady was asked "will you retire next season?" and he said "pretty unlikely" or "hopefully not", he's saying "if the Pats bring me back, no, but otherwise yes". And as for his drop off in play this season, what I saw when they played us was that his o-line was quite poor compared to what he's used to - and if anybody needs a good o-line it's the lead-footed forty something. There are very few teams that need a vet (read: ancient) QB to start that also have an established o-line.
HavePityPlease replied to turningpoint's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
I have to say I disagree with this. Dre has size and physical skills, but he gets lost in coverage way too often (meaning even if he's with his man he's in no position to play the ball) and worse he avoids tackles constantly (and yet still gets injured). If the rest of your secondary is downright stellar, ok he might look "decent". Anything less and he's a straight up liability. Take his salary into it and it's just a terrible investment at best.
It's not excuses, it's just reality. Put an inexperienced coach into a situation where he's not starting the process until February with a worse OL and LB corps than the previous year, what'd you expect? Seriously, what did you think he was going to do? What record do you think Marvin would have had? Do you know what Marvin's record was the second half of last season? (hint: worse than Zac's second half). Is 6-10 that much better than 2-14 for you? For me anything worse than .500 is the same (except perhaps going 0-fer) and I just look for individual performances and some indication the team is improving. Under Marvin it quite obviously got worse and worse as the season went along. With Zac, thankfully, things got progressively better after week 8. Both the offense and defense are ranked higher than last year, despite the record (and despite the horrendous "middle part" of the season). And it's guaranteed not to be more of the same next year, regardless of personnel, as Zac himself has already said so (as of today, regarding the offense). Yes, change the culture. What analysis do you need? You want me to outline Zac's detailed plan of what culture he's implementing? Sorry, I can't read his mind, all I can do is observe how the players act on and off the field. Considering how bad the season went my analysis is: fantastic job. The players are excited to play, the best players want to come back and specifically say they love what Zac is doing, what else do you need? Ok, now I know you're not serious. You honestly think the HC is making the #1 pick, on the Bengals, *especially* a *new* head coach? Get real. Duke and 'Ol Farty Pants are making that pick all day long.

Praise for Extract: The Pipeline Wars Vol. 1 Enbridge
"This is one of the greatest stories underway on the planet—the effort to wrest vast quantities of the dirtiest energy on earth from beneath Canada's boreal forests, and the even greater and far more beautiful effort to stop them. The stakes—the health of the planet's climate—simply couldn't be higher.
Read this book. Extract does a great job of giving voice to some of the people on the front lines and giving you the information you need to engage in the debate."
— Bill McKibben, climate activist and 350.org founder
Extract: The Pipeline Wars is a terrifying tour-de-force that opens a grim window on the future: this is not just about British Columbia, but about the world. As the fossil fuel industry taps dirtier and dirtier sources of energy to maintain their supremacy, as more regions of the world are despoiled in the process, the downhill run to ultimate destruction lies plainly before us...unless it can be stopped. Extract: The Pipeline Wars tells us why, and how, this must happen. Excellent, important work.
— William Pitt, Truthout editor and New York Times bestselling author.
We need information and hard facts to make thoughtful, forward-thinking decisions that reverberate long into the future. Here's a book that cuts through the self-interested rhetoric of climate deniers and the fossil fuel industry.

Turquoise, the pan-European multilateral trading facility owned by the London Stock Exchange, has added SIX x-clear to its list of central counterparties.
Turquoise, the pan-European multilateral trading facility (MTF) owned by the London Stock Exchange (LSE), has added SIX x-clear to its list of central counterparties (CCPs).
With SIX x-clear, Turquoise now offers three CCPs, the others being Anglo-French clearer LCH.Clearnet, which was added last November and was recently bought by the LSE, and incumbent provider EuroCCP. The MTF will complete its interoperability offering with Cassa di Compensazione e Garanzia (CC&G), the Italian CCP the LSE acquired as part of its takeover of Borsa Italiana in 2007, although a date for its inclusion has not yet been set.
The addition of CC&G will see Turquoise join BATS Chi-X Europe, the dual multilateral trading facility created through a merger in November last year, in offering a choice of four clearing houses.
As of 6 January, BATS Chi-X Europe members have been able to clear through EMCF, SIX x-clear, EuroCCP and LCH.Clearnet.
Scandinavian trading venues Nasdaq OMX Nordic and Burgundy are set to follow suit with their own interoperability initiatives within the next two months.
Besides Nasdaq OMX Nordic, domestic exchanges have so far dragged their feet on interoperability. While the LSE and SIX Swiss Exchange have offered the choice of LCH.Clearnet and SIX x-clear since 2008, neither has committed to extending their offering further. Deutsche Börse, Spain's Bolsas y Mercados Espanoles and NYSE Euronext have all refused to engage in interoperability discussions thus far.
However, these exchanges could be compelled under MiFIR, a regulation that will accompany MiFID II, to open up their clearing infrastructure to competitors. Implementation of MiFID II will take place during 2014 at the earliest.


Barça are close to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. The 4-0 from the first leg at the Camp Nou against Getafe give the Blaugrana quite a bit of breathing room this evening in Madrid. However, the tie isn't over and Barça must secure passage to the next round of the competition at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.
Two previous matches should have Tata Martino's men on high alert. The first was the semi-final of the 2007 edition of the Cup: after the 5-2 at the Camp Nou, Getafe managed to fight back in Madrid and win by 4-0. The second happened a month ago: the Madrid-based team took an early 2-0 lead in the first 14 minutes of the league match at the Coliseum. Barça managed to mount a comeback thanks to a brilliant performance from Pedro.
With that in mind, Barça aren't taking anything for granted. Tata Martino named 18 men to the team for the match, among them Xavi Hernández. It will be the midfielder's 700th official match in the Blaugrana strip if he features this evening against Getafe.
Three of Tata's regulars have been left out of the squad. They are Sergio Busquets, Andrés Iniesta and Jordi Alba.
Getafe, on the other hand, are hoping to mount a massive upset. Manager Luis García has named 19 men to the team, among them two youth team players: keeper Galván and defender Vigaray. Escudero, Valera, Lopo, Gavilán and Mosquera were not named to the team. Getafe are currently on a four-game losing streak, which means they are especially keen to win this evening in order to regain confidence.

Q: What is the best practise for relational database tables in mysql? I know, there is a lot of info on mysql out there. But I was not really able to find an answer to this specific and actually simple question:
Let's say I have two tables:
USERS
(with many fields, e.g. name, street, email, etc.) and
GROUPS
(also with many fields)
The relation is (I guess?) 1:n, that is ONE user can be a member of MANY groups.
What I dis, is create another table, named USERS_GROUPS_REL. This table has only two fields:
us_id (unique key of table USERS) and
gr_id (unique key of table GROUPS)
In PHP I do a query with join.
Is this "best practice" or is there a better way?
Thankful for any hint!

Hi all,
thanks for your quick and helpful support. Knowing that I was on the right way builds up my mysql-self-confidence a little. :-)
As many commented, my example is not 1:n but many to many. Just as a quick sql-lesson:  :-)
Are these the right terms?
1:n one to many
n:1 many to one
n:n many to many?

A: It's quite the best case :)
Creating a compound predicate primary key in the relation table is the optimal solution:
ALTER TABLE USERS_GROUPS_REL ADD PRIMARY KEY(us_id, gr_id)

A: That would be the best practice.
You have two tables on either side of the join and a mapping table (or linker table, or whatever other terminology is out there) in the middle which handles the Many-to-Many relationship (A Group has many Users and a User can belong to many Groups).
To increase performance, you should make a composite key for the mapping table out of us_id and gr_id. You can also create an index on the inverse so that if you need to sort by gr_id, you get the performance benefit there too.

A: One user can belong to many groups, and one group contains many users, so it is a many-to-many relationship.
The way you describe it is a typical and correct one. A many-to-many relationship is often mapped with an association class or relation table.
Sometimes the relation table has more columns. For example, a user may be the administrator of a particular group. The users_group_rel table would then also have a field administrator.

A: You have described a many-to-many relationship.  Using that relationship, many USERs can be members of many GROUPS.  For your purposes, this is indeed the correct way to go.
One-to-many and one-to-one relationships do not require the link or cross-reference table (USERS_GROUPS_REL).

The DEI Committee will hold meetings again in the fall.
Please visit this link for more information including updated meeting agendas, and notes on projects and plans.
Committee Vision Statement
The field of Physics lacks diversity with respect to gender and underrepresented minorities (URM). The situation has not improved significantly with time; in fact, the number of degrees earned by African Americans has decreased in the last decade. Leaders at physics organizations and universities have recognized the demand for improved diversity. This has prompted official statements from the American Physical Society (APS) and the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). The University of Michigan Physics Department has also acknowledged this and formed a committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in order to address these and related issues. The university president's diversity charge states it is central to the mission as an educational institution to ensure that each member of our community has full opportunity to thrive.
The committee aims to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the University of Michigan's Physics Department such that the representation of traditionally underrepresented and marginalized groups, within the department, is more reflective of our society, and work towards a sustainable, diverse and thriving physics community. The committee is dedicated to contributing to the department in such a way that the University of Michigan becomes a leading example in diversity initiatives. Lastly, in order to demonstrate that the Physics Department is aligned with the goals outlined in University of Michigan LSA college-wide strategic plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion it is imperative that the committee, along with the department and University leadership to work together towards achieving the following broad goals:
1. Implementing policies and best practices that improve diversity and equity among faculty, staff, graduate student, and undergraduate student populations.
2. Improved and sustained retention of diverse students, staff, and faculty.
3. Creating an inclusive and supportive climate for all members of the department, not limited to URM, people of LGBTQ+, individuals with disabilities, and non-traditional backgrounds, that provides equitable opportunities for learning, development, and success.
4. Formative assessment of implemented strategies aimed to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Physics Department.
5. Continuous collection, evaluation, interpretation, and dissemination of best practices that enhance diversity, equity, and inclusiveness.

Oysters Oysters Everywhere… And Plenty of Beer to Drink!
Tonight marks (in no particular order) the end of June, the unofficial start to what will be a four-day holiday weekend for a lot of people, and Edible New York's final event in 2011's Eat/Drink/Local Week: East End Oysters Night at Jimmy's No. 43. Last night Eddie "Oysters" (who is currently in training to be the world's fastest oyster shucker) gave us a preview of the great oysters that will be served up courtesy of Blue Island Oysters (all you can eat tickets are $35; get yours before you head over to the bar). Let's just say these are some damn good oysters!
Today, we'll get to meet Blue Island's founder and CEO, Chris Quartuccio, who was nice enough to answer a few questions about the oyster world (because we're a reputable blog that doesn't take what doesn't belong to us, you'll have to go here to see a really cool pic of Chris). Who knew oysters were a diet food? [Read more…] about Oysters Oysters Everywhere… And Plenty of Beer to Drink!
As a part of Edible's 3rd annual "Eat Drink Local" week, Jimmy's No. 43 will be hosting the culminating event of the week! Our East End Oyster Night, co-sponsored by Blue Island Oysters. will offer all-you-can-eat oysters from the East End of Long Island. The event will offer up precious Blue Points along with "Naked Cowboy Oysters," wild-harvested bivalves named after the Naked Cowboy himself (he's scheduled to make an appearance).
June 16 Pretty Things And Oysters!
Pretty Things beer, based in Somerville, MA, will be the featured beer tomorrow (6/16) at our Thursday Night Oysters event. We recently caught up with Jim Barnes, the go to guy in NYC for all things pretty, but especially for Pretty Things Beer!
What's the first (great) beer you remember drinking and where were you at the time?
Though not necessarily a "great" beer, I'd have to say it was Ballentin's. I was 8 when my dad would pour a little of his beer into my Snoopy mug at dinner. This is where I feel I developed a pallet for beer and learned to enjoy the taste rather than the usual route that people take (in other words, the God-awful high school keg party).

It takes time and money to adjust IT security in response to evolving attack tactics. As defenders gradually update their security measures, attackers respond accordingly. Such arms-race dynamics lead to threats of increasing sophistication and efficiency. Today's cybercriminals often have a long-term interest in their targets, and often employ social engineering to get inside a protected environment. Their tactics commonly include malicious payload that attempts to compromise the victim's system and may continue spreading within the organization. They also increasingly focus on weaknesses at the application, rather than at system or network levels, to obtain data that provide the most value.
Defending IT infrastructure involves understanding attack tactics that are particularly effective today. As you assess and improve your information security program, consider the following characteristics of modern computer security threats and there recommendations for dealing with them.

Trans People, "MSM" and HIV Study and Outreach
July 15, 2010 dentedbluemercedes	13 Comments
There is a serious problem in HIV study and outreach when it comes to trans people — and especially transsexuals — in studies of high-risk populations. Many of late have been doing so by trying to include them under the term "MSM," or, "men who have sex with men." I've heard the creation of this term attributed to the Center for Disease Control, but it's widely used now by United Nations -affiliated organizations and more.
This past Spring, I'd had one such study request forwarded to me by someone who was apparently on one of the mailing lists that I forward communications to. A few days later, he wrote me, irate that I'd not forwarded it to my trans networks. I'd pointed out (feigning ignorance) that while a few trans men might qualify and be interested, much of what was being discussed in his email didn't really fit FTM configuration, especially pre-surgical. This resulted in a missive which started off with "you know what I mean" and launched into an accusation that I'd be "guilty of the murder of" every transsexual woman who perished from HIV who might have benefited from the study. And yet, the survey was written so thoroughly to exclude those of female gender identity, I can't see any way that any self-respecting trans woman would be able to sit through the whole thing without becoming thoroughly incensed at the obvious refusal to dignify her as who she is.
I get it that effective terminology must be given to identify target high-risk groups for the sake of study. I get it that the terminology needs to be both simple and encompassing. I get it that HIV is a serious issue and relevant to the trans community, though not all trans sub-groups are high-risk. I get it that penile-anal intercourse (PAI) risk groups can include trans women (indeed, we're upset when we're not). What I don't and will not get is the gay community's insistence that transsexual women are "really men" and how it's such a bother having to state otherwise in order to be inclusive. To be fair, there are many folks in HIV study and advocacy who don't feel or act that way, but the prevalence of MSM-exclusive study sure reinforces this impression.
MSM reportedly came to be because of a need to include males who identify as straight rather than gay or bi, but by circumstance still had or have sex with other males. It also takes out of the equation people who identify as gay or bi, but who aren't currently sexually active with men. What's interesting is that even though MSM terminology was apparently devised in order to respect various mens' identities and transcend the cultural and historical contextual constructions built around terms like "gay," often no such accommodation or respect is given to trans female communities. To justify this, sometimes people will point to other cultures where trans women are more inclined to identify themselves as "really male" so that we Westerners seem the odd ones out and explainable by cultural context — a situation that exists mainly because outside Western societies, trans people in most cultures have not yet had the freedom to develop a language with which to self-identify, and therefore accept whatever language is available to them.
Admittedly, it doesn't help that "trans" covers such a widely diverse set of people, including male-bodied people in a stage of bodily transition to female, female-bodied people in a stage of bodily transition to male, male-bodied people who view themselves as both genders / neither gender / somewhere in between, female-bodied people who view themselves as both genders / neither gender / somewhere in between, people who identify as the same gender of their birth assignment but who sometimes crossdress for a variety of reasons, people who don't like or fit social rules of gender, and although trans doesn't encompass them, sometimes people who are physically intersex are relevant to trans-related medical study. Notice that I didn't address operative status — post-operative transsexuals no longer need to identify as trans in any way, and for the sake of HIV research should only be classified as men and women. It also doesn't help that there is little consensus within trans communities on what the various labels mean, and that many people affected by trans issues do not identify as trans. However, when it comes right down to it, the issue looks a lot more complicated than it really is.
MSM terminology actually does include some of those trans identities when male-identified, though they're sometimes dismissed from studies as not the intended target trans group (it's interesting, for example, that people will sometimes be familiar with lesbian- or bi-identified trans women, but not grasp that there can be gay- or bi-identified trans men). Where MSM fails spectacularly is specifically with female-identified, male-bodied persons (usually transsexual), by insistently identifying them as male.
As simple as this fact is, it seems to get dismissed because of cisgender (that is, non-transgender people) failure to recognize how much of a barrier and how disrespectful this is, feeling that it's simply easier and more expedient for us to "just get over it." Those folks, of course, can be classified as ignorant @$$es — not because they identify as such, but just because it's more convenient for me to do so.
This is one of those things that it would seem to me to be obvious, but frankly, transsexual women are typically not going to participate in a study that willfully disrespects them as women, or is phrased in ways that would not even seem to be applicable to them. Those kinds of things generate a barrier not only to the studies in progress but willingness to consider future studies, regardless of inclusion. Add this to a medical framework where distrust and an expectation of prejudice and inconsistency from medical professionals abounds, and the reluctance rises exponentially.
Recognizing that that the terminology needs to be simple and encompassing, it seems to me a small thing to expect a "& TFSM" ("and trans female-identified people who have sex with men") acronym added where MSM appears.
That's a first step. And it means nothing if it's accompanied by inconsistent gender acknowledgment throughout. Because as much as I want to do what I can to address HIV issues among trans people, increasingly the tools to do so are being branded with a moniker that at best says "this isn't for you," and at worst is completely insulting.

Paul C says:
Interesting and timely. I have been involved in advocacy for HIV services for transgender people (female and male) for over 12 years. I would like to clarify that the idea to have the the broad term "MSM" encompass TG people was a very practical matter intended to be sure that TG people were included in the funding streams for services. In years past donors simply refused to fund TG services directly but would "allow" HIV service providers to provide these services under the "MSM" target (and some would encourage this). Largely because of these early advocacy efforts, you and I both can now proudly refer to transgender people (who are at high risk) when soliciting funds for HIV services.
While your "TFSM" ("trans female-identified people who have sex with men") is interesting it is awkward at best and leaves out, as you point out earlier, trans male-identified (but still female-bodied) people who have sex with men. I, and I dare say them as well, do not agree that they would be covered under the umbrella term "gay".
We are now using, in Asia Pacific, "men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender (TG) populations" when referencing high-risk groups. This has been requested by and seems to be accepted by "most" transgender people, even those who do not identify directly as TG themselves (including those in the Pacific Islands and in South Asia such as hijras and female-identified kothis).
Just Some Trans Guy says:
"I, and I dare say them as well, do not agree that they would be covered under the umbrella term 'gay'. "
Thanks for speaking for me, but I am in fact capable of speaking for myself. The only reason I would think that MSM wouldn't cover me (a queer, though not gay, man) is because of the possible transphobia of the researchers, not because I don't consider myself as falling within the "MSM" category.
And I have nothing but a big, hearty "fuck you" to anyone who doesn't consider me a queer man.
chartreuseflamethrower says:
I haven't met a single man who's only interested in other men who didn't call himself gay (same for men only attracted to women considering themselves straight). I know a woman who's pre-op and only attracted to cis men, and she considers herself straight and a woman who's non-op/non-hormone and only attracted to women who considers herself a lesbian.
I also know a few trans people who have a few issues with the "identified" terminology.
dentedbluemercedes says:
TFSM doesn't need to encompass male-identified trans folk: they're male-identified, so MSM does include them. But looking further, there may be a concern in it not including bi-gendered or gender-neutral folks.
Consequently, MSM & TG is probably better. What's crucial is inclusive and respecting language.
Valerie Keefe says:
"Notice that I didn't address operative status — post-operative transsexuals no longer need to identify as trans in any way, and for the sake of HIV research should only be classified as men and women."
I just… I don't know where to begin with this statement. The thrust of this taxonomy is that post-operative women are classed as woman, no longer needing to be separated from the rest of the women, while we non-or-pre-operative folk are classed as 'sorta-woman…ish, at the moment,' with all that implies as to the point where bottom surgery becomes a legal requirement for basic human rights.
That's not my intent. Sorry if I phrased it poorly, but in this case, I'm speaking strictly from the medical standpoint where it becomes necessary to have some form of taxonomy specific to women with male parts i.e. for HIV study and outreach.
Outside that context, then yes, it would be purely other-ing. Outside that context, I've always seen trans as an elective designation per each individual, but one that can still convey a generalized sense of community.
Ria commented on Trans Group Blog's posting of this article:
"I participated in one of these studies a few years ago in San Francisco. I was approached by the study-taker who asked me if I'd like to take the study; when I saw it was for people who had sex with men I told him I was a lesbian. He said that was fine as long as I had been born male (which I was).
The study was exactly as you describe; it completely de-gendered me, assuming everyone taking it was male-identified and in possession of a penis (of which I was neither). The study also assumed that the only way a person could have sex would be to stick a penis into some orifice, which made questions like "Have you had vaginal sex?" very difficult for me, as a lesbian, to answer.
In the end I persisted in taking it because I was financially hurting and needed the money the study was offering. During the last followup test the person taking my cheek swab was surprised there were trans women in the study, so even all the staff were of mixed ideas of who should be included in the study.
This brings up several points, but one demonstrates why I felt it was necessary to make the statement that you raise a concern about.
Indeed, it's just a common thread I see running through some more, well, middle-class narratives to be honest: the idea that penis = man/male/boy and that how dare one degender the post-operative women, as opposed to the not-currently-operative. I just sort of feel the need to come back to this theme now and again, that transition is mainly centred on two goals: Getting others to see a person as their identified gender, and getting themselves to see a person of their identified gender that they are comfortable seeing when they look in the mirror.
SRS is *way* more about the latter, and it bothers me to see the tendency of people to use it as a signifier when they are out about their transness. The implication that those who are further along, or more complex in their transition are more women than those who are not is, well, kind of insulting to the first twenty-six years of my life. I wasn't a boy then, no matter how hard I tried to be one to please others and in the hope that it would make me stop feeling awful about myself.
The study is problematic generally because it assumes male-assigned-at-birth is the same as man, but that's not the point I'm replying to. SRS does not eliminate all the other ideosyncracies that most trans women have (like prostates for example) and does not eliminate sexual histories. The problem is one of not respecting one's gender identity, which is not helped by creating a path of enfranchisement whereby one becomes a woman by medical procedure, be it anything from bottom surgery to… say… hair removal, we then have our lack of transition used as justification for withholding the resources necessary for transition.
Sorry if this seems a large reaction, I just find it an important point to raise. It's my wheelhouse as far as trans rights go.
I disagree Paul. A good portion of trans men identify as gay, regardless of surgical status. Most trans men have top surgery and stop there. There are very few trans men that have genital reconstruction surgery, but they still see themselves as men and hence use their bodies like a man would. This is especially true for gay trans men. We have anal sex, and yet it is not seen the same as someone who was assigned male at birth, despite the fact that we have anal sex with gay men. Due to this fact, gay trans men should be included as a high risk population. Determining risk factors should rest more on behavior (what kind of sex and who the sex is with) than on genital status.
Big Kate says:
Grant, I agree about f2M describing them self as GAY, and i agree they may have anal sex, but sexuality is not defined by what orifice you use. So I know quite a few Gay me who use any orifice available that gives them pleasure including their vagina
Point taken. I guess I was trying to emphasize the fact that gay trans men consider themselves gay and therefore use their bodies a lot like cis gay men. I wish there were actually statistics on how many trans men use their original plumbing, because I hate to make generalizations on what trans men do with their bodies. Personally, I go through phases during which I don't let anyone near my vagina and other times when I don't care. But I never have a problem with men going near my butt, so that was the point I was trying to make.
This is another problem in trying to find statistics on trans people- it's so hard for the people doing the studies to use some basic common sense and courtesy when doing it.
This resulted in a missive which started off with "you know what I mean" and launched into an accusation that I'd be "guilty of the murder of" every transsexual woman who perished from HIV who might have benefited from the study.
I really can't believe "professionals" are allowed to use these kind of tactics to try and basically force someone to take part in a study. That really loses credibility for me.

The first few bites of a dessert have the greatest impact. As you continue eating, your senses get saturated. The same thing happens when you visit a museum. It is possible to spend a whole day in a museum but after 90 minutes or so, your feet start to drag and your mind to wander. And that, my friend, is why you cannot and should not spend more time in an outstanding museum than in a mediocre one.
And that is also why museums should not be charging people $25 to get in. Museums conserve artifacts but they also have a role to play in educating the public and allowing access to museum pieces.
The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the United States. Its collection is second only to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's in New York. Since its beginnings in 1879, it has been connected to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a leading art training ground. As a result, it developed close relationships with many of its iconic student artists, such as Georgia O'Keefe.
The Art Institute of Chicago is the permanent home of some of the world's most famous originals. People are often surprised to learn that the paintings below live in Chicago.
And there are many, many, many, many more that you probably thought were to be found in the Louvre or the Met or the Vatican or the Victoria and Albert. The Art Institute of Chicago also holds staggering collections of objects in various categories: African, Decorative Arts, Medieval Armour, Byzantine, Public Art, and so on and so forth.
Obviously a single visit to such a collection is an absurdity. Unfortunately, that's what some of us have to live with. For those who have a particular interest in art, history or architecture, with a collection this size, it makes sense to have a plan and to stick to it as much as possible.
These prices mean that only the most affluent art lovers can enjoy and learn from this world-class museum collection. Many expensive museums offer a free day once a month or a few free hours per week. The Art Institute of Chicago offers some free entry dates/times for Illinois residents.
Citizens of the rest of the world, regardless of how passionately they love art, are out of luck. Or are they? Everyone needs a ticket to enter the museum. Illinois residents will be asked their zip code. Spit out a valid one, quickly and without hesitation, and that free entrance will be yours. I chose 60613. But fair is fair and the museum is a gem of the art world so don't be a cheapskate. I would encourage you to make a donation in line with your means to help support the work of the Art Institute of Chicago. Donation boxes are located inside the museum. Personally, I think $12 is a fair price.
I am so glad that a person like you can confirm that museum "fog" after 90 minutes is a normal occurrence. I thought it was just me.

Game-based learning is a form of game play with specific learning outcomes. It is typically instructionally designed to provide a balance between subject matter that needs to be learned, playing games, and the capability of the learners to apply the knowledge and skills in the real world. Whether you're rolling dice or racing against the clock, adding gamification elements to e-learning courses is a great way to keep learners focused and motivated.

Q: Galois action on special fiber of a stable model Let $X_{K}$ be a curve over a complete DVR $R$, $R/m:=k$ an algebraically closed field. We suppose the minimal field extension $L$ of $K$ such that $X_{L}$ has stable model $X_{R_{L}}$, and the special fiber is $X_{k}$. We obtain an action of $Gal(L/K)$ on $X_{k}$.
My question is:
Does $Gal(L/K) \longrightarrow Aut(X_{k})$ is an injection ?

A: The answer is affirmative when $X_K$ is smooth and geometrically connected with genus $\ge 2$ (which I am guessing are implicit hypotheses), without restriction on the residual characteristic nor on the generic characteristic.   The key ingredients are theorems of Grothendieck concerning semistable reduction and the link between stable reduction of curves and semistable reduction of Jacobians (proved by Deligne and Mumford).
By increasing $K$ if necessary, the "minimality" hypothesis on $L$ reduces the problem to showing that if the ${\rm{Gal}}(L/K)$-action on the special fiber $X_k$ of $X_{R_L}$ is trivial then $X$ has stable reduction over $R$. By Deligne-Mumford, it is equivalent to deduce that the Jacobian $J$ of $X_K$ has semistable reduction.  By Grothendieck's inertial criterion for semistable reduction, this in turn is equivalent to deducing that the action of $G_K = {\rm{Gal}}(K_s/K)$ on $V_{\ell}(J)$ is unipotent for some (equivalently, any) prime $\ell \ne {\rm{char}}(k)$.
By a theorem of Raynaud, $P := {\rm{Pic}}^0_{X_{R_L}/R_L}$ is a scheme, and more specifically is semi-abelian with generic fiber $J_L$.
The subgroup $G_L = {\rm{Gal}}(K_s/L)$ of $G_K$ acts unipotently on $V_{\ell}(J)$, and Grothendieck's orthogonality theorem (applied over $R_L$) gives much more: $V_{\ell}(J)^{G_L} = V_{\ell}(P_k)$ with $V_{\ell}(J)/V_{\ell}(J)^{G_L}$ canonically dual to $V_{\ell}(T)$ where $T$ is the maximal torus of $P_k$ (here using the auto-duality of $J$ over $K$). This "canonicity" includes $G_K$-equivariance, so to prove the unipotence of the $G_K$-action on $V_{\ell}(J)$ it suffices to prove the triviality of the ${\rm{Gal}}(L/K)$-action on $V_{\ell}(P_k)$. But this latter Galois action is just the composition of functoriality of $V_{\ell}$ applied to the ${\rm{Gal}}(L/K)$-action on $P_k = {\rm{Pic}}^0_{X_k/k}$ arising from the ${\rm{Gal}}(L/K)$-action on $X_k$. (Various implicit compatibility verifications are left as an exercise.) This latter action is assumed to be trivial, so we are done.

A: This appears in the literature, see e.g. Theorem 2.2 in Lehr and Matignon, Wild monodromy and automorphisms of curves, Duke Math. 2006. It is attributed there to Deligne and Mumford.

A: This is correct in characteristic $0$. Let $G$ be the kernel of the action; then one has to show that $X_{R_L}/G$ is a stable curve over $R_L^G$. This is Lemma 3.2 in my paper with Dan Abramovich Complete moduli for fibered surfaces, http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9804097.
I am pretty sure that it is false in positive characteristic, though.
[Edit:] I guess I was wrong about positive characteristic.

CQC sword style - Taught to him by his father Lloyd has been tought how to fight using his own fists and a short sword in a style that can only be described asa combination of cqc unarmed combat and sword/dagger combat skill style.
Mushi Manipulator – Within Lloyd remains colonies of Mushi, unlike most cases these Mushi however live only to serve it's host Lloyd. What intrigues many professionals and experts on Mushi's minds the most though, is that this holds no negative consequences on Lloyd himself no matter how many he calls.
Resistance to shaping – Due to Mushi being beyond the atomic level in genetics and existing in another sub realm they are Heavily resistant to shaping and sensing making very few able to even see them. At most people can "feel" them when they are near. As for the Xen the xen retain a energy that remains unworldly and a definite challenge to understand resulting in these xen creatures not impossible to shape but essentially by the time you understand the composition of these beings the battle is over and they will not let you touch them again.
Demonic hide - Lloyd's skin is now heavily resistant to physical attacks and flame.
Xen blood type – Lloyd has been permanently marked as part of the Xen bloodline making him able to coexist with those of the Xen without being attacked (with the exception of the Snarks).
Xen strength – Lloyd has gained greater strength than the average human and can break bones with one swipe.
Vortigese language – Lloyd knows a language no other human knows and that language is Vortigese the language Vortigaunts speak fluently as it is their own language.
Fishy traits – With the traits of the Xen Ichthyosaur within him Lloyd can swim like a fish because he developed webs between his feet and fingers as well as activate his gills allowing breath underwater.
Electrical charge – With the Vortigaunts dna within him Lloyd may create a large electrical charge within his hands and send it flying for the enemy.
Acidic spit – Lloyd's stomach was changed to increase the acidic nature of his stomach acid and the generation speed of it to almost instant if it was lowered. As a result Lloyd may spit acid in the face of his enemies if he wishes.
Xen claws – Lloyd has small alien like claws on his hands that are sharp enough to cleave halfway through a man's entire arm if enough force is applied.
Leech energy – With Xen Leech dna in him Lloyd may leech energy off targets by touch of skin to skin.
Sonic wave – With the Xen dna of the Houndeye Lloyd may send a sonic wave to cause sonic damage to surrounding targets and send them backwards.
Teleportation – With the Xen dna of the Chumtoad Lloyd may teleport to a max distance of 25' at a limit of 3 times per day.

However, the study published in the journal 'Molecular Metabolism' found that POMC neurons perform different functions."While the subset targeted by obesity medication lorcaserin influences appetite in both males and female mice, in males, this subset has the added benefit of also modulating physical activity and energy expenditure," said lead author Professor Lora Heisler at the University of Aberdeen's Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health. But in female mice, physical activity and energy expenditure were not strongly affected. "So, while medications targeting this source of POMC peptides may effectively reduce appetite in females, our evidence suggests that they will not tap into the signals in our brain that modulate physical activity and energy expenditure," said Professor Heisler.
Not great news, but hey, at least we're all in it together ladies!

Seaboard Memorial Page
Below is a copy of his obit from the Heritage Funeral Home website:
Captain Hilary Harry Leiss passed away at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane on January 10, 2018 after a struggle to recover from illnesses. He was born in New York City on August 18, 1937, son of Harry Archer Leiss and Olga Catherine Leiss, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 36 years, Barbara Jean (Rusinko) Leiss; and three proud and loving children, Wayne Leiss of Danbury, CT, Kurt (Regina) Leiss of San Clemente, CA and Gina (Loren) Thurn of Exeter, RI; seven grandchildren; and sister, Joan Booth of Danbury, CT.
Captain Leiss was a pioneer in the aviation industry, clocking over 30,000 hours of flying over a 30+ year career. He served in the US Air Force where he was stationed at SAC (Strategic Air Command) in Mountainhome, ID, with the B-47 bombers that carried the A-Bomb. Following his Air Force service, he started his career with private charter flights for high profile notables on the East Coast, such as members of Pres. Roosevelt's family, Robert Kennedy, Arnold Palmer and others. He then went on to fly larger aircraft with Seaboard World Airlines out of JFK. They were 100% committed to America's war efforts which plunged him into the Vietnam War for six years until the fall of Saigon and other points where he safely transported our G.I.'s home under gunfire, taking bullet holes in the unarmed plane. Flying Tigers then bought Seaboard and he continued the war effort, serving in the Beirut-Lebanon War, as well as his sacrifice and service in Desert Storm. He was working for our military and US Government, flying many covert missions and was considered the best of the best, an expert pilot on many makes and models of commercial aircraft, with the Boeing 747 being his favorite. Federal Express later purchased Flying Tigers, where he continued to fly around the world and retired on the MD-11, an all computerized aircraft.
Captain Leiss was an American Legion Chaplain in Palmer, AK (vets called him "Padre"), as well as the State of Alaska Chaplain for the Four Chaplain's Chapel of Philadelphia. He served as Chairman of the Transportation Advisory Board for the entire Matanuska-Susitna Borough, AK. He was a member of the IOC (International Order of Characters), a prestigious world aviation group; the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Deer Park, WA and has been honored at the Smithsonian in DC and NASA for the strides made in aviation and sacrifices done for our military.
Hilary was loved by everyone who knew him. We are all blessed to have known this beautiful person and very brave pilot who saved so many – a true unsung hero! A funeral service will be held on Friday, January 26th at 11am at Heritage Funeral Home followed by a graveside service, where full military honors will be rendered. All attendees are invited to a special dinner preparation at Anthony's Restaurant, 510 N. Lincoln St., Spokane, WA immediately following the graveside service.

What were the major changes made by Kerala government in 1996? Is adequate healthcare available to all? What is health? What are the positive aspects of healthcare in India? What are the negative aspects of healthcare in India?
Q28. What the court said in Hakim Sheik's case?
Ans. The Court said that the difficulty that Hakim Sheik had to face could have cost him his life. If a hospital cannot provide timely medical treatment to a person, it means that this protection of life is not being given. The Court also said that it was the duty of the government to provide the necessary health services, including treatment in emergency situations. Hospitals and medical staff must fulfil their duty of providing the necessary treatment. Hakim Sheik was denied treatment at various government hospitals. Therefore, the Court asked the State Government to give him the money that he had spent on his treatment.
Q29. What were the major changes made by Kerala government in 1996?
i. Forty per cent of the entire state budget was given to panchayats. They could plan and provide for their requirements.
ii. This made it possible for a village to make sure that proper planning was done for water, food, women's development and education.
iii. This meant that water supply schemes were checked, the working of schools and anganwadis was ensured and specific problems of the village were taken up.
iv. Health centres were also improved.
Q30. Is adequate healthcare available to all?
Ans. No, adequate healthcare is not available to all. In India, we face a situation where private services are increasing but public services are not. So, mainly private services are available and that too are concentrated in urban areas. As these services are expensive, many people cannot afford them or have to borrow money when there is an illness in the family. Women are not taken to a doctor in a prompt manner as women's health concerns are considered to be less important than the health of men in the family. Many tribal areas have few health centres and they do not run properly. Even private health services are not available.
Ans. We can think of health in many ways. Health means our ability to remain free of illness and injuries. But health isn't only about disease. Apart from disease, we need to think of other factors that affect our health. For example, if people get clean drinking water or a pollution free environment they are likely to be healthy. On the other hand, if people do not get adequate food to eat or have to live in cramped conditions, they will be prone to illness. All of us would like to be active and in good spirits in whatever we may be doing. It isn't healthy to be dull, inactive, anxious or scared for long stretches of time. We all need to be without mental strain. All of these various aspects of our lives are a part of health.
Q32. What are the positive aspects of healthcare in India?
i. India has the largest number of medical colleges in the world and is among the largest producers of doctors.
ii. Healthcare facilities have grown substantially over the years. In 1991, there were 11,174 hospitals. In 2000, the number grew to 18,218.
iii. India gets a large number of medical tourists from many countries. They come for treatment in some of the hospitals in India that compare with the best in the world.
iv. India is the fourth largest producer of medicines in the world and is also a large exporter of medicines.
Q33. What are the negative aspects of healthcare in India?
i. Most doctors settle in urban areas. People in rural areas have to travel long distances to reach a doctor. The number of doctors with respect to the population is much less in rural areas.
ii. About five lakh people die from tuberculosis every year. This number is almost unchanged since Independence!
iii. Almost two million cases of malaria are reported every year and this number isn't decreasing.
iv. Clean drinking water is not available to all.
v. Half of all children in India do not get adequate food to eat and are undernourished.

Gilson Francisco Borsato, conhecido como Gilson Ricardo (Petrópolis, 4 de outubro de 1948 — Rio de Janeiro, 22 de janeiro de 2023) ou Gilsão foi um radialista e comentarista esportivo brasileiro, Gilson trabalhou na Rádio Globo por 35 anos. Durante esse período, apresentou diversos programas, como Toca Tudo, Panorama Esportivo e Globo Cidade, além de comandar transmissões de futebol, nas quais também era repórter de campo e, algumas vezes, narrador. Desde 2015 na Rádio Tupi, Gilson foi também comentarista de TV, atuando na CNT Rio de Janeiro, Band Rio e SBT Rio ao lado de Gerson "Canhotinha de Ouro" e de José Carlos Araújo, o Garotinho.

Carreira
Gilson nasceu em Petrópolis, RJ em 1948, começou a trabalhar aos 12 anos e depois de alguns anos passou a trabalhar como balconista de farmácia, parando para servir ao exército e retornando depois do período no quartel. Gilson gostava de narrar jogos de futebol de botão que fazia com seu primo e um vizinho escutava suas narrações e, sabendo de um concurso promovido pela Rádio Difusora de Petrópolis para locutor, inscreveu Gilson e o avisou. Gilson, mesmo sem qualquer experiência anterior, participou do concurso e venceu, tendo sua carteira assinada pela rádio aos 19 anos para narrar jogos de futebol na região, no campeonato local (Internacional, Petropolitano, Carangola, Rio Branco, Serrano...). Um dia, o comunicador que fazia o programa Peça Direto, de 12h às 14h, passou mal e Gilson o substituiu. Com o falecimento do titular, Gilson assumiu o horário e daí sua carreira mesclou o trabalho como comunicador com as narrações de futebol de campo e de salão.

No final de 1976, Waldir Amaral escutando a Rádio Difusora ouve Gilson narrando um jogo de futebol de salão e fica impressionado com sua narração e fácil comunicação. Na SEG pela manhã, Waldir procura Walmir Bento, morador de Petrópolis, amigo de Gilson e operador de áudio do comunicador Haroldo de Andrade e pede o telefone de contato da emissora, onde podia falar com Gilson. Na TER, Waldir liga e convida Gilson (que apenas acredita ser realmente Waldir quando este cita o seu amigo Valmir Bento) para ir ao RJ no dia seguinte. Waldir propõe um período de teste de 60 dias para Gilson, que iria cobrir o  e acompanhar alguns jogos de menor porte como narrador, mas sem se desligar da Rádio Difusora. Após 40 dias, Waldir contrata Gilson em definitivo e coloca seu nome artístico (Gilson Ricardo), pois achava que Borsato não era um nome forte para o rádio. Gilson Ricardo, então com 28 anos, passou a integrar a poderosa equipe esportiva da Rádio Globo, como repórter de campo, sendo adjetivado de Repórter "Esperto" (cada um tinha um adjetivo específico) cobrindo o , ao lado de Kléber Leite (repórter principal), Loureiro Neto, o Gigante (cobria o ), Danilo Bahia, o Dinâmico (acompanhava o ), Pedro Costa (o de "Todas as Notícias"), Fernando Carlos (o Repórter das "Quentes", que cobria o ) e outros. Pouco tempo depois, chamou atenção de Mário Luiz, diretor geral da rádio, que procurava um programa para a madrugada de domingo, na folga de Adelzon Alves e Luciano Alves e pensou em Gilson, mas achou que este não aceitaria pelo fato de trabalhar nos jogos a tarde. Gilson aceitou e passou a apresentar o Toca Tudo, sempre na virada do sábado pra domingo, de 00h15min às 6h, que tocava todos os tipos de músicas, pedidas por telefone pelos ouvintes. O Programa durou + de 10 anos, mas Gilson foi titular até o segundo domingo de novembro de 1985. E continuava na equipe esportiva, fazendo os jogos de sábado e domingo a tarde.

Com o retorno de José Carlos Araújo e Washington Rodrigues (Apolinho) à Rádio Globo, em 1984, Gilson passou a fazer dupla com Eraldo Leite, que veio com os dois da Rádio Nacional e a fazer ponta atrás dos gols, colocando o tradicional microfone da Rádio Globo na "boca" do goleiro nas cobranças de falta do adversário. No triênio 1983-1985, Gilson cresceu muito na rádio e foi indicado para fazer as férias de Luciano Alves no seu programa diário, sem deixar de participar das coberturas esportivas e de fazer seu Toca Tudo semanal. Gilson sempre trabalhou demais na Rádio Globo. Num domingo de 1984, Gilson apresentou cinco programas: 1. Toca Tudo na madrugada, 2. O Pré-Jornada (não lembra o nome, de 13h30min às 14h); 3. A abertura da jornada esportiva, das 14h até o início dos jogos; 4. Os Craques da Informação (normalmente apresentado por Kléber Leite), de 21h às 21h30min e o Panorama Esportivo, na época de 23h05 às 23h30min.

Em novembro de 1985, com a morte prematura do famoso comunicador Waldir Vieira, foi designado para apresentar o programa dominical deste, de 6h às 10h (seu Toca Tudo passou a ser apresentado por Robson Alencar, da Rádio Mundial), com destaque para o quadro Momento Bomobm, de 9h às 10h, quando distribuía muitos prêmios para a criançada. Gilson distribuía muitos brindes para os ouvintes dos patrocinadores da sua cidade, principalmente da Rua Teresa. Além de integrar a equipe esportiva, fazia programas noturnos na Rádio, como o Show da Noite e Super Parada Global. Seus programas noturnos e sua participação nas manhãs de domingo durou pouco mais de um ano e acabaram impedindo Gilson de ir ao México cobrir a Copa do Mundo de 1986 ao vivo. A dupla de trepidantes titulares da Rádio Globo contou com Eraldo Leite e Deni Menezes, este recém contratado da Rádio Nacional e que ficou na Globo até 1994. Luiz de França, que estava retornando da Rádio Globo SP, assumiu as manhãs de domingo a partir do final de 1986, deslocando Gilson Ricardo para o horário seguinte, próximo ao início da jornada esportiva. Gilson também participava do Comando Geral do Carnaval, programas de 6h de duração, com revezamento dos comunicadores. Em 1985, por exemplo, fez a sexta-feira a noite, a madrugada de sábado para domingo e a segunda-feira de carnaval, de 12h às 18h, sempre trabalhando muito, ora na equipe de esportes, ora integrando o seleto e qualificado time de comunicadores da emissora.

Desde 1984 até o começo dos anos 2000, Gilson Ricardo apresentava com enorme qualidade a abertura das jornadas esportivas, principalmente nos finais de semana. Teve alguns outros programas na grade da rádio: Show da Noite, Super Parada Global, S.O.S. Globo, Sacode, Globo Cidade, dentre outros, sempre apresentando com alto astral e um jeito único de comandar programas. Na virada dos anos 1980 para 1990, com a saída de Eraldo Leite, passou a apresentar o Panorama Esportivo, inicialmente apenas para o Rio de Janeiro e depois, no começo dos anos 2000, integrando as demais praças, no Projeto Globo Brasil. Participou ao vivo (no local) de cinco copas do mundo, incluindo o título de 1994 (EUA) e o vice de 1998 na França. Depois, já nos anos 2000, retomou o famoso Toca Tudo, como um quadro de cerca de 30min, na mesma virada de Sábado para Domingo à meia-noite, mas na abertura do programa Madrugada da Globo, comandado por Robson Aldir. Além da sua competente, intensa e destacada atuação na Rádio Globo, participava de programas de televisão, no Mesa Redonda Rio na CNT. Em 2003, sofreu um infarto.

Após longos 35 anos de destacada atuação na equipe esportiva e como comunicador, Gilson deixou a Rádio Globo, para um novo desafio: a Bradesco Esportes FM, rádio 100% esportiva na qual executava as mesmas funções que exercia na antiga casa seja apresentando programas, fazendo aberturas de jornada esportiva além de comentar e narrar, além de participar do Jogo Aberto e Os Donos da Bola na Band Rio, seja nos comentários ou como apresentador substituto. Em 30 de dezembro de 2013, deixa a Bradesco Esportes e transfere-se para a Transamérica do Rio de Janeiro onde desde fevereiro de 2014, exercia as mesmas funções das duas casas anteriores.

Em agosto de 2014, Gilson vai para o SBT Rio onde participa do segmento esportivo do jornalístico SBT Rio nos comentários ao lado de Gérson e Garotinho. Em 2015, o trio foi contratado pela Super Rádio Tupi.

Em setembro de 2016, Gilson Ricardo começou a apresentar o programa dominical Fala Galera, dentro do Super Futebol Tupi e passou a fazer as férias do Apolinho Washington Rodrigues, sempre com muita qualidade. No SBT, Gilson fez parte do SBT Esporte Rio, acompanhado de Gerson "Canhotinha de Ouro" e do José Carlos Araújo, o Garotinho. O programa era um quadro do jornal SBT Rio (conforme citado acima), mas seis meses após a estreia, atendendo a pedidos do público, ganhou seu próprio espaço nas tardes da emissora. Ainda em 2016, sofreu um AVC. Em 2019, o trio deixou o SBT.

Com a saída de Luiz Ribeiro, Gilson assume o comando do Bola em Jogo, também na Super Rádio Tupi.

No dia 22 de Janeiro de 2023, Gilson como sempre fazia, chegou cedo aos estúdios da Rádio Tupi, apresentou seu programa Bola em Jogo e depois do fim da atração continuou no estúdio, conversou com seus colegas e posteriormente foi embora. Já em casa, no fim da noite, Gilson jantou junto de sua esposa e depois se preparou para dormir, deitou na cama, mas infelizmente quando sua esposa chegou para dormir com ele, já o encontrou sem vida. Gilson Ricardo sofreu um infarto fulminante aos 74 anos.

Sarah Farahat is an transdisciplinary Egyptian-American artist and educator based in Portland, Oregon. She created the We Choose Love mural at the TriMet transit centre that was the site of the 2017 Portland train attack.

Education
Sarah Farahat received a B.A. in Psychology from Occidental College in Los Angeles, California in 2001 and a B.F.A. in Intermedia Studies from Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2008. In 2016 she received an M.F.A. in Interdisciplinary Fine Art from California College of the Arts in San Francisco, California.  She teaches youth and is an adjunct professor at the Pacific Northwest College of Art.

Career
In 2011, Farahat was selected for Ashkal Alwan's Home Workspace program in Beirut, Lebanon in 2011 and produced the publication Beirut Journal for Radical Activation.  Her performance in the Home Workspace program was described by Artforum critic Kaelen Wilson-Goldie as "disarmingly sincere, unabashedly feminist, and deceptive in its simplicity."

In 2016, Farahat contributed to the international conference and artist project Open Engagement. Also that year, she self-published A Third for Luck, a speculative fiction set in Cairo in the year 2055. A Third for Luck is in the permanent of the Arab American National Museum Library and the Pacific Northwest College of Art Charles Voorhies Library.

In 2017, Farahat was chosen to lead a team of artists to design a mural memorializing the 2017 Portland train attack. Farahat's design was selected by TriMet's tribute advisory committee from four finalists. The We Choose Love mural includes excerpts from the poem "Awakening" by Brooklyn, New York-based duo Climbing PoeTree that winds through the space, with each line written in a different language a western peony, and a quote from victim. The mural, which covers 2,000 feet of space, debuted in 2018 and is titled We Choose Love.

In 2018, one of Farahat's screenprint designs was selected for inclusion in the portfolio for the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. She also contributed a collection of plant studies to a group show at Pacific Northwest College of Art called Unwalking the West.

In 2020 Farahat joined the Justseeds' Artist Cooperative.

Kinrande (金襴手 , literally "gold brocade") is a Japanese porcelain style where gold is applied on the surface and there are a number of variations. It originated from China during the Jiajing (1521-1566) and Wanli (1573-1620) periods of the Ming dynasty.

In the late Edo period, Arita ware, Imari ware, Kotō ware, Kutani ware, Kyō ware and Satsuma ware had pieces in this style. Imari pieces in kinrande style were particularly popular in Baroque era Europe. King Augustus II the Strong of Poland amongst the foremost collectors.

Typically, gold was added to Chinese wucai (五彩) palette, called gosai in Japanese, which had a white base with red, green, and yellow motifs. Other types of kinrande include:

 multi-colored motifs and gold on a white base (赤絵金襴手 akae kinrande)
 red base, multi-colored motifs and gold (赤地金襴手 akaji kinrande)
 green base (緑地金襴手 ryokuji kinrande)
 yellow base (黄地金襴手 ouji kinrande)
 celadon base (白地金襴手 hakuji kinrande)
 emerald base (瑠璃地金襴手 ruriji kinrande)
 blue-and-white base (染付金襴手  sometsuke kinrande)
 tricolour base (三彩金襴手 sancai kinrande)

One of the artists specialising in kinrande was  (1953-2010), the second son of , herself a renowned artist of yūri-kinsai.

Distinguishing possible mechanisms for auxin-mediated developmental control in Arabidopsis: Models with two Aux/IAA and ARF proteins, and two target gene-sets
New models of gene transcriptional responses to auxin signalling in Arabidopsis are presented. This work extends a previous model of auxin signalling to include networks of gene-sets which may control developmental responses along auxin gradients. Key elements of this new study include models of signalling pathways and networks involving two Aux-IAA proteins (IAAs), auxin response factors (ARFs) and gene targets. Hypotheses for the gene network topologies which may be involved in developmenta...

Published 2015-06-26 at 1360 × 768 in BRB – 10 Failed Window Pane Test 2015-06-24.
One way to check if the dough is kneaded enough is to do a window pane test. Take a small piece of dough and try and stretch it out into the dough should become thin and almost see though, if it tears/breaks like this did, the dough needs more kneading.
