Evidence for superantigen production by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is an enteric pathogen that induces a variety of clinical symptoms, fever, scarlatiniform rash, diarrhea, vomiting, and arthritis. Characteristic histopathologic findings in Y. pseudotuberculosis infection such as lymphoid hyperplasia, typically seen in mesenteric lymph nodes, suggest that the stimulation of a large proportion of T lymphocytes may be involved in the pathogenesis of this infection. In this study, we assessed the mitogenic activity of culture supernatants of the clinical isolates of Y. pseudotuberculosis and investigated the mechanism by which these culture sups activate T cells. The culture sups, as well as partially purified fractions obtained by gel filtration, were found to selectively stimulate T cells bearing V beta 3, V beta 9, V beta 13.1, and V beta 13.2 compared with stimulation by anti-CD3. Furthermore, fibroblasts transfected with different HLA class II molecules, either HLA-DPw9, -DQw6, -DR1, or -DR4 Dw15, were capable of presenting Y. pseudotuberculosis culture supernatants to purified T cells. The T cell response to this sup was not restricted by donor HLA-DR types and was not neutralized by antibodies against the known staphylococcal superantigens, Staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE)A, SEB, SEC2, SED, SEE, and TSST1. These results suggest that Y. pseudotuberculosis produces superantigenic toxins that may mediate some of the systemic illnesses associated with infection by this organism.

NY Times Columnist David Brooks: I Hope When Donald Trump Goes to Hades He Knows He's History's Biggest Loser (VIDEO)
by Jim Hoft April 3, 2016
New York Times "conservative" contributor David Brooks, a Marco Rubio supporter, went scorched Earth on Donald Trump today on "Meet the Press."
David Brooks: I think it's likely to be Trump but I think he's the walking dead. I think he'll get the nomination and he will just go down to a crushing defeat. And will be known for a hundred years from now, people will say, 'Who's the biggest loser in American politics?' And it won't be McGovern, it won't be Dukakis, the word 'Trump.' And I hope when he's down there in Hades he's aware of all that.
It's getting hard to tell which side these pundits are on this year.
So-called conservative columnist David Brooks suggests Trump will spend eternity in Hell. https://t.co/Dw3hcIvPQG That's real classy…

HomeHealthIndia's Covid Spiral Leaves Hospitals Choked, Doctors Mentally Exhausted
India's Covid Spiral Leaves Hospitals Choked, Doctors Mentally Exhausted
May 10, 2021 zenger.news Health, International Comments Off on India's Covid Spiral Leaves Hospitals Choked, Doctors Mentally Exhausted
NEW DELHI — Dharmendra Kumar, a 37-year-old doctor, saw four patients slip away on April 26 as the medical oxygen supply ran out. He is the operational head of Covid care at Virat Hospital in Rewari, a city in India's central state of Haryana.
"We tried everything we could to arrange oxygen cylinders," said Dharmendra.
"I called the nodal officer, gas agencies, district magistrate, inquired at the government hospital, called everyone that I could, fought till the end, but no one helped out."
Dharmendra remembers it was around half past two when the supply ran out.

Unabated deaths
"I saw patients in the intensive care unit dying in front of my eyes."
Soon, the frantic search for oxygen — by the relatives included — ended, and sounds of crying and wailing filled the intensive care unit.
Some family members charged the hospital for the deaths, while others couldn't understand who was to blame — the disease, the hospital, the government, or their fate.
"Some relatives blocked the road outside the hospital and raised slogans against the administration and hospital," said Dinesh Fandon, a resident of Rewari. "The police was called to control the situation."
Chaos in hospitals
The district administration had set up an inquiry to determine the reason for the deaths in the Virat Hospital but hasn't come out with any findings yet.
"Every day, we have to fight for oxygen. There is not a single day when the oxygen supplied to us is equal to our requirement," Dharmendra said. "There have been situations where we were even begging for one or two cylinders."
Though witnessing unabated deaths is traumatic, Dharmendra shows up to work every day.
Scenes inside intensive care units have changed drastically in the country over the past month. The units, in which relatives used to be allowed for limited minutes after following extensive checks such as sanitization, gloves, shoe coverings, face masks, and skull caps, are frequented by family.

Need for better infrastructure
At some hospitals, temporary beds have filled any spaces left for movement. At some others, beds are lying vacant due to scarcity of oxygen or staff.
"We have a 100-bed facility. Due to lack of oxygen, we aren't able to function at full capacity and are treating 71 patients," Dharmendra said.
Like medical staff across the nation, Dharmendra is fighting the pandemic without breaks for the past year. Yet, Dharmendra says the past month has been overwhelming.
"For the past one month, we have been working continuously for 24 hours," Dharmendra said. "There is no day and night for us, no time at which I start my shift or end it."

Mental health in focus
From May 5 to May 8, India recorded daily Covid-19 cases of more than 400,000.
Health care workers are stressed because of severe work pressure due to a shortage of staff. The lack of oxygen and life-saving drugs have added to their worries, impacting their mental health.
Health care workers are struggling day and night to protect people and rarely talking about it.

Ravi Wankhedkar, former India Medical Association chief, believes this was systematic murder.
"The death of a young doctor is nothing short of murder by the system which was created due to shortages of basic healthcare facilities," Wankhedkar wrote on Twitter.
Wankhedkar said Rai was on Covid duty for one month and was dealing with intensive care patients every day in which not many were surviving.
"He was a brilliant doctor and helped save hundreds of lives in this Covid era," Wankhedkar tweeted.

Extending help
Several doctors have now started helpline numbers for frontline workers. The Bombay Psychiatric Association began one such initiative.
Pooja Priyamvada, a Delhi-based mental health researcher and first aider, also started a helpline, Co-Hope, to provide counseling to doctors.
"It will be difficult to put it in percentage terms," Priyamvada told Zenger News. "But the number of calls we are receiving from doctors facing a personal breakdown is increasing day-by-day."
She believes there is a stigma among doctors about mental health. "They don't usually seek help. Even if they do, it won't be in the hospital they are working in as they think it will affect their professional advancement or relationships."

Overburdened medical staff
"Many times doctors start self-medication, which is highly inadvisable. Self-medication generally leads to addiction," she said.
Priyamvada says doctors are provided training on dealing with similar situations, but no one was ready for this unprecedented scale of death and disaster.
"There is also a fear among doctors that they might be infecting their families. All these issues add up to their mental health crisis," she said.
Since the coronavirus pandemic began, 734 modern medicine doctors lost their lives till February, according to the Indian Medical Association. But the government said 162 doctors had died while treating Covid-19 cases till January. Now, the association says deaths have climbed to 864.

Non-stop work
The Central Residency Scheme, implemented in 1992, states that a doctor should work for 48 hours a week. But in India, they are working twice or thrice of that.
"My phone keeps on ringing 24 hours — it has become a call center," Dharmendra said.
"I am taking care of patients, making sure there is adequate oxygen supply, giving details to the nodal officer and, in between all of that, I also have to attend to so many phone calls. Availability of bed, medicines, everyone keeps on enquiring."
"And, after the April 26 incident, things have changed. I work all the time. Sometimes I take the pain and go to oxygen plants to get oxygen. There are worries in my mind — what if the car gets a flat tire, what if the driver sleeps. We need to keep motivating staff, and I do that every day."

Dean Statham's story began over 100 years ago, when Mr Dean launched accountancy firm, Dean & Son in Stafford. As the business grew, it was passed down to Mr Dean's family members, including his son, and then his grandson, Walter – who retired in the early 1990's.
In the mid-1940's, Reginald Statham opened the doors to his own business venture, Statham & Co in Newcastle-under-Lyme. After a thriving forty years in business, Reginald retired by the early-1980's, continuing as a business consultant for many years to come.
When the two businesses merged to form one partnership in the 1970's, each office continued to trade as Dean & Son, and Statham & Co. In the late-1980's, the trading name of both offices – as well as the partnership – changed to Dean Statham.
In 2003, the two offices separated and then in 2014 Dean Statham merged with Rostance Edwards. The business continues to trade as Dean Statham under the Rostance Edwards Group umbrella.
Making sure you are complying with the Companies Act, and continuously changing legislation.

Q: Please help us diagram this trig problem. We are not looking for a solution. We are confused by the wording and need help with the diagram. Then we can solve the problem on our own.
Here is the exercise in the text.

A surveyor is measuring the length of a lake.  He takes angle measurements from two positions, $A$ and $B$, that are 136 m apart and on the same side of the lake.  From $B$, the measure of the angle between the sight lines to the ends of the lake is $130^\circ$, and the measure of the angle between the sight lines to $A$ and one end of the lake is $120^\circ$.  From $A$, the measure of the angle between the sight lines to the ends of the lake is $65^\circ$, and the measure of the angle between the sight lines to $B$ and the same end of the lake is $20^\circ$.  Calculate the length of the lake, to the nearest metre.

Here is our diagram. What angles are $120^\circ$ and $20^\circ$?

A: Here's a possibility:

The "ends" of the lake are points $C$ and $D$; $\angle CBD=130^\circ$, $\angle DBA=120^\circ$, $\angle CAD=65^\circ$, $\angle BAD=20^\circ$.

It seems like there's no rest for a small business owner. Whether you're keeping up with day to day things, or rushing to put out fires, there's always something to be done. It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the different aspects of running your own business, and that's why everyone is not an entrepreneur.
For many business owners, useful mobile apps have been a major benefit – apps aren't just for social media and ordering takeout. There are quite a few apps on the market that can make a big difference in your daily productivity, helping you streamline cumbersome tasks so you can focus on what matters. From financials to client communication, these 7 apps can help make your life as a small business owner a whole lot easier.
Millions of small businesses worldwide rely on Intuit's QuickBooks software to accept payments, manage invoices, and handle payroll functions.

With apps available for Windows, iOS, and Android phones and tablets, keeping an eye on your checkbook has never been easier. Plus, with your data backed up in the cloud, you won't have to worry about losing any important files.
Trello is a simple, streamlined collaborative task management software. With over ten million users worldwide, it's one of the most popular apps for project management. Trello's design is based on the Kanban task management system, originally developed by Toyota in the 1980s for efficient supply chain management.
As Paypal's treatment of merchants has been increasingly called into question, a new rival, Square, has rapidly gained popularity, especially among small businesses and ecommerce ventures. With Square, you can obtain a small, portable card reader that's associated with your mobile device. This lets you take credit card payments anywhere with minimal hassle. Square is especially popular with mobile businesses like food trucks, as well as with small brick and mortar retailers.
One of the great things about Square is the relatively low fee. Square automatically deducts 2.75% from every swipe. In comparison, manual transactions incur a 3.5% fee, plus an additional 15 cents per transaction.

THE HSE HAS welcomed the appointment of Jim Breslin, the new Secretary General to the Department of Health.
Breslin was appointed earlier today by Minister for Health Leo Varadkar TD.
The new job comes as a move back to the Department of Health for Breslin, who is currently Secretary General at the Department of Children and Youth Affairs.
He has previously worked for the HSE, the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the Department of Finance.
The new Secretary General also holds masters degrees in public administration from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and from Trinity College Dublin.
Speaking about the appointment today, Minister for Health Leo Varadkar, said:
I am delighted that Jim Breslin has accepted this appointment as Secretary General. He is returning to the Department of Health, where he is highly regarded by his management colleagues and staff alike, at a time of great change in the health service.
Speaking about the appointment, director general of the HSE Tony O'Brien said:
I welcome warmly the appointment of Jim. He comes to the Department of Health with a wealth of experience in healthcare. I look forward to working closely with him over the next number of years with a view to continuously improving the quality of services for our patients and clients.
The appointment sees Dr Ambrose McLoughlin depart from the role. The former Secretary General stood down from his position in the Department of Health to pursue a new role helping in the implementation of the Health Ireland strategy.

Silencing of Mg-pat-10 and Mg-unc-87 in the plant parasitic nematode Meloidogyne graminicola using siRNAs
Joseph Nsengimana, Lander Bauters, Annelies Haegeman, Godelieve Gheysen
Until recently, the standard method for RNA interference (RNAi)-based reverse genetics in plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs) was based on the use of long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). This increased the chance of off-target gene silencing through interactions between different short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and non-cognate mRNA targets. In this work, we applied gene-specific knockdown of Mg-pat-10 and Mg-unc-87 of the root knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola, using discrete 21 bp siRNAs. The homologue of Mg-pat-10 in C. elegans encodes body wall troponin C, which is essential for muscle contraction, whereas the homologue of Mg-unc-87 encodes two proteins involved in maintenance of the structure of myofilaments in the body wall muscle of C. elegans. The knockdown at the transcript level, as seen by semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis, indicates that the Mg-pat-10 gene was silenced after soaking the nematodes in a specific siRNA for 48 h. At 72 h post-soaking, the Mg-pat-10 mRNA level was similar to the control, indicating the recovery of expression between 48 h and 72 h post-soaking. For Mg-unc-87 the nematodes started to recover from siRNA silencing 24 h after thorough washing. A migration assay showed that for the nematodes that were soaked in the control (siRNA of â-1,4-endoglucanase), 77% of the nematodes completed migration through the column in a 12 h period. By comparison with the control, nematodes incubated in the siRNA of pat-10 or unc-87 were significantly inhibited in their motility. After 12 h, only 6.3% of the juveniles incubated in the Mg-pat-10 siRNA and 9.3% of those incubated in Mg-unc-87
siRNA had migrated through the column, representing 91.8% and 87.9% inhibition respectively compared to the control. In the present work, we demonstrated that M. graminicola is readily susceptible to siRNAs of two genes involved in nematode motility. This is an important contribution to the progressive use of siRNA for functional analysis. Moreover, the application of RNAi in PPNs opens the way for environmentally friendly control of M. graminicola.

Whitevale Bowling Green
Mitchell Library, Glasgow Collection, Postcards Collection
This 1905 postcard shows men playing bowls on Whitevale Bowling Green, surrounded by solid tenement houses in Dennistoun.
Whitevale Bowling Club is the second-oldest private bowling club in Glasgow and has been in existence since 1836. The club was originally situated in the Whitevale area before eventually settling at the top of Whitehill Street. The grounds have often been used for championship competitions.
One of the leading lights of the club was Mr D L Stevenson, who became President of the Glasgow Bowling Association. In 1892 he chaired a number of meetings which resulted in the founding of the Scottish Bowling Association.

There is no reason why literacy has to be put on hold during the summer months with bilingual children. In fact, summer is a perfect time to give home and school languages the undivided attention they deserve. Without the need to focus on homework and after school activities, bilingual children and parents can have a wonderful time with literacy. It doesn't take a lot of work. It just demands a good set of resources to work with and the willingness to follow through.
As we mentioned in a previous post, the languages of a bilingual child are not in competition. Exposure to both is important and essential. We use language(s) to make meaning of our world around us and to communicate this meaning to others. It doesn't matter in which language a child learns about her community and her world; once she learns about it in one language, she can transfer this understanding to her other languages. This is true when learning about how languages work as well. Yes, there is different vocabulary and grammar in each language but the underlying concepts of literacy are the same.
To keep literacy alive during the summer months, it doesn't really matter which language is spoken at home. What matters most is that parents are engaging their children in activities that will encourage and strengthen language and literacy overall. A child who is read to every day in any language will reap tremendous benefits, ones that reach beyond pure linguistic elements.
Ultimately, literacy is about comprehension. It is about understanding the meaning of what is written on a page. Vocabulary and grammar are essential parts of this but any teacher can tell you about students in class who read perfectly but don't actually understand what they are reading. Parents can ensure that this doesn't happen to their children by engaging their children in literacy activities that stimulate comprehension.
Encourage parents to read out loud: Let parents know that reading to their children in their home language is essential. Remind parents that everything that their children hear and learn at home in the home language can and will be transferred to the school language. No matter how old children are, they are never too old to listen to parents and teachers reading books out loud.
Encourage parents to listen: Help parents become comfortable with the concept of listening to their children read out loud in both the home language and the school language, even parents who don't understand the school language very well (or at all). Children should feel comfortable sharing school interests and books with their parents, regardless of language. Ideally, teachers can send children home with bilingual books so that the parents can understand what their children are reading.
Encourage parents to feel empowered: Make sure parents understand the important role they play in their children's literacy success. Some parents may feel that learning to read is what goes on in school and that parents don't have much of an impact. Let them know that this is not true. Help them to understand that the more parents do to engage their children at home in literacy activities, the more their children succeed in school. Parents want to know that their role in their children's education is essential, regardless of the home language. It is important that teachers tell parents this over and over again in positive, encouraging ways.
Encourage parents to participate: Parents often don't know how, exactly, to help their children succeed in literacy. Give parents handouts with specific instructions and tips on how they can keep language alive during the summer. Share what students have been learning during the school year so that parents can continue to talk about the same concepts during the summer months. Is there a good series of books that you recommend that children read during the summer? Tell parents about these books and help them find them in the home language so that parents can read them out loud all summer long. Give parents as many specific details as possible so that they won't have to spend a lot of time making decisions in areas that they may not feel comfortable.
These are just a few ways that teachers can help parents keep their bilingual children's literacy alive this summer. Reading in any language benefits bilingual children in so many ways. Aside from the cognitive and linguistic benefits, it opens up new worlds for children. Reading books gives children the opportunity to experience life through the eyes and skin of someone else. Bilingual children can become pioneers traveling west, detectives on the case of a missing wallet, or elegantly dressed dancers waltzing at a ball.
For bilingual children in particular, books can help them feel that they belong in a given culture or environment. Experienced through the eyes of characters in a good book, a bilingual child can actually come to feel comfortable with cultural aspects which were before unknown or intimidating. Help parents pick out books that will give their bilingual children these positive opportunities to experience what it is like to live in different cultures. Show parents how they can encourage discussion with their children to help them understand and internalize what they are reading.
Parents and teachers can give bilingual children the opportunity to fall in love with books and reading this summer, regardless of language. Entice children with books on topics that they adore and who knows, they may not even want to stop reading long enough to play that new video game at their neighbor's house!

Q: Say message into 10 extensions at the same time I need to do the following in asterisk
I have 10 extensions 1001, 1002 .... 1010 (normal phones)
I created an extension (2001) which needs to do the following:
1) Check which of the 10 extensions is on a call
2) Be able to say a message that both party will hear on all busy extensions
3) As admin I do not want to hear what they are saying on the live calls
Overall, as admin I will call 2001 which will enable me to say a message to all active calls but I do not want to hear what they say on the phone
It is important that that the message will be received by all extensions AT THE SAME TIME
Can I achieve this in asterisk? I can build an AGI script if needed but I need some guidance
UPDATE
;Anyone who dials out with 9 can be spied later on
exten => _90XXXXXXXX.,1,Noop();whatever starts with nine
    same => n,Set(SPYGROUP=8005)
    same => n(dial),Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@mytrunck)
    same => n,Hangup()

;Spy exten dialed with 9
exten => 8008,1,NoOp()
    same => n,ChanSpy(,g(8005),qWB)

This is great for 1 person but it does not work for more than that
Can you please explain with an easy example how I can I put all of them in a conference?
Thanks

A: Yes, you can do that.
Easy variant - create 10 two-way calls all to same conference, after that 1 call wich will play message to conference. Then kickall from that conf.
For channels which are on call you can use chanspy, for other channels use paging/intercom.

Tritium beta radiation (3H beta-radiation) in the form of tritiated water was used to induce mutations at the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) locus in male Drosophila melanogaster post-meiotic germ cells. All 23 Adh null mutations were large deletions (> 20 kb), determined by genetic complementation and Southern blot analyses. 27 Adh null mutations have been induced by 100-kVp X-rays (Aaron, 1979) and have been genetically and molecularly characterized (Ashburner et al., 1982; Chia et al., 1985; LoMonaco et al., 1987; Mahmoud et al., 1991). In contrast to 3H beta-radiation, 100-kVp X-rays induced a bimodal distribution of Adh null mutations, intragenic mutations, < or = 250 bp, and large deletions, > 100 kb. A statistically significant difference was observed between the frequency of large deletions (23/23 or 1.0) induced by 3H beta-radiation and the frequency of large deletions (19/27 or 0.7) induced by 100-kVp X-rays. However, a statistical difference was not observed between the size distribution of the large deletions induced by 3H beta-radiation and X-rays. The relative deletion frequency (RDF) induced by 3H beta-radiation and 100-kVp X-rays was (1.0/0.7 = 1.4). The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of these two radiation sources was 1.4, determined from the ratio of the regression coefficients of the respective 3H beta-radiation and X-ray sex-linked recessive lethal (SLRL) dose-response data. The large difference in size between the two classes of X-ray-induced Adh null mutations and the increase in mutation frequency and deletion frequency for 3H beta-radiation with respect to X-rays may indicate that the relative deletion frequency (RDF) is the molecular biological basis for the increase in the RBE for radiation sources with a mean LET value < or = 10 keV/microns.

My TVR-"career" started off in 1988. A customer of mine wanted me to find him a god insurancecover for his English sportscar. A TVR 450 SEAC. He showed me the car and wanted me to drive it on my own. What speed and what a sound! I was stuck, and I have been ever since.
I have owned a V8S (1992), a Chimaera 500 (1996) that I imported from Germany, a Cerbera (1996),a Chimaera (1997). And now finally the Tuscan II S Convertible (2006).
Driving TVR is in Sweden is a bit different. I live in Stockholm, and driving a sportscar is only possible from late April until mid-October. The rest of the year the roads are snowcovered.
My friend Arne from northern Sweden and I, have gone to the Classsic car Show every November for the past 6 years. 3 years ago I had just sold my lovely Chimaera 500 (I still regret it – it was a lovely car), so I was well prepared to look for a newer car I the UK, when travelling from London to Birmingham and the car show. We visited many TVR-dealers: David Gerald, Peter Smith Sports cars,TVR Power and finally Offord Motors, and there it was. I had seen the Tuscan at Pistonheads: one of the 5 last made cars, and only 4000 miles on the meter. It costed far too much, but what the heck. I went the back the next weekend and made a downpayment and again thee third weekend mi-December anf´d drove it home with my wife. All the way from Offord under the English channel, through Holland,Germany, Denmark and Sweden; totally 2750 km and every kilometer in the pouring rain.
It has been a totally problemfree car. I have a very good mechanic in Stockholm, who discovered haw to turn the headlights to fit on righthand – driving roads. He just tuned them upside down. As simple as that.
Driving a RHD car on the right side is a bit tricky, especially when overtaking, but you get used to it.
I This is my third season with the car, and it has never let me down, I drive it appx 2500 km every year, usually to TVR-meetings. This summer we met 22 TVR:s on the island of Gotland in the middle of the Baltic Sea. It´s fun meeting these guys – every one is interested in each others cars.
The carshow in Birmingham has almost every English car-club represented – TVR has won many of these events- This year TVR Power will have an upgrade Sagaris with a speed six engine, from 4 to 4,5 litre. 460 Bhp!!! The only thing stopping me is the cost, £10 000.
We have appx 150 cars in Sweden, and around 40 of them I meet a few times every year. I have only been to the racetrack with mu Tuscan once. I found the suspension a bit too softand I will change the whole package when visiting TVR Power in November.
Nice to see the TVR marque outside of Britain. Nice blog.

Q: How to create a CGPath which exactly match a CALayer bounds when the layer rotate or scale? We have a CALayer which shows image with edit information. Such as rotate, scale and translate. I want to make a CGPath which exactly match the layer bounds. When the layer rotate, my path should also rotate and its four corners should match the CALayer's four corners. The CGPath is actually used as a gray mask to show the clipped area of the image.
I try following code, but it does not work.
    f = self.imageLayer.frame;
    t = self.imageLayer.affineTransform;
    CGPathAddRect(path, &t, f);

The CALayer has its own CGAffineTransform. All edit information are applied via the CGAffineTransform.
Any hint will be appreciated, Thanks a lot.

A: If I got your question right you could be using UIBezierPath's usesEvenOddFillRule to cut around your image layer bounds dimming the rest of the visible screen. Basically you create a very large rectangular path (for some reasons CGRectInfinite doesn't work here) and cut out the area around your image layer. The trick is to use kCAFillRuleEvenOdd which flips what is considered inside and outside.
Something like should work:
    let cutPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: imageLayer.bounds, cornerRadius: 0)

    let clipPath = UIBezierPath(rect: CGRectMake(-10e6, -10e6, 10e7, 10e7)) // CGRectInfinite isn't working here ?
    clipPath.appendPath(cutPath)
    clipPath.usesEvenOddFillRule = true

    let shape = CAShapeLayer()
    shape.contentsScale = UIScreen.mainScreen().scale
    shape.lineWidth = 2

On the back of a heart stopping elimination final over the weekend between the West Coast Eagles and Port Adelaide. One of the heroes of the game was Luke Shuey, who kicked the winning goal after the siren in extra time.
But the real unsung hero was Eric Mackenzie who made a crucial maneuver to deny Port Adelaide a point, and took the game into extra time.
When asked who saved the game between Luke and himself, he humbly admitted it was all Shuey.
"I gotta go with Shuey I reckon. I can't take any of the credit".
In response to his game winning save at the post he gave us the inside detail.
Responding to whether he had a decent bruise after the hit, he replied with "sore all over".
West Coast take on GWS in Sydney on Saturday night. Make sure you watch and cheer the home boys on.


As part of Wal-Mart's "Earth Month" campaign, the retail giant is attempting to boost the supply of certified organic cotton in the marketplace.
A few years ago the company became the biggest purchaser of organic cotton and launched a full-on organic offensive in 2006. However, supply doesn't seem to be meeting their demand. The up-front investment required to convert crops to organic is hard to handle for many farmers. They need to be in the game for three years before their crop is certified "organic" and profits kick in. To encourage farmers to switch to organic cotton farming, Wal-Mart said it purchased more than 12 million pounds of transitional cotton from approximately 1,000 farmers at the same premium cost of certified organic cotton. "We heard from our supplier and other partners … that this was necessary in the market," said Wal-Mart spokeswoman Tara Raddohl.

No, You Don't Need to Check Your Eyes – There are Indeed People Hanging off the Big Ben Clock Face as it Gets a Good Cleaning
Aug 18, 2014 By jonathan
Now here's something that you don't see every day. The iconic Big Big clockface was due for a good scrub so they did what any owner of a Victorian era tower would do: they called in abseiling window washers to do the job.
Here's a closer shot from Jeremy Selwyn.
They usually clean the clock face every four years. They spend the time inspecting and repairing cast iron joints and the opaque white glass in the four faces, all while hanging 60 meters from the ground. Each seven meter diameter clock face has 312 panes which can often become damaged by pigeons and bell vibrations.
The clock still runs during the work but the hands don't move until they're finished.
Here's a video about the process:
Editor's Note: The tower is actually called Elizabeth Tower (it was renamed in honor of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012). The big bell inside the clock is actually what is called Big Ben. But everyone – including most Londoners – called the whole tower Big Ben and that's fine with us.

South Korea's Moon sent Chung and other envoys to the North Korean capital on Wednesday to set the timing and agenda for the third inter-Korean summit this year, and to break the impasse in talks between Washington and Pyongyang over dismantling the North's nuclear programme.
South Korea's president, Moon Jae-in, will travel to North Korea for a third meeting with the country's leader, Kim Jong-un, as denuclearisation talks with the U.S. stall.
The summit - a third between the two leaders this year - will take place from September 18 to 20 and the dates were decided on Wednesday during a visit by South's national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, to Pyongyang, where he met Kim and handed over a personal letter from Moon.
Only hours earlier, a South Korean delegation returned from talks with Mr. Kim where they set up a summit for September 18-20 in Pyongyang between Mr. Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, their third meeting since April.
South Korea says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told him that dismantling work at his main rocket launch site meant the "complete suspension" of all future long-range ballistic missile tests.
His words were relayed by South Korean officials on Thursday, after they met with Kim in Pyongyang this week.
The statement from the Korean Central News Agency wasn't new information - Kim has repeatedly declared similar intentions before - but allows hopes to rise that diplomacy can get back on track after the recriminations that followed Kim's meeting in June with US President Donald Trump in Singapore.
Despite the difficulties, Chung said Kim's "trust in Trump remains unchanged".
According to South Korean officials Thursday morning, Kim said he wants to denuclearize before the end of President Donald Trump's first term.
"I can not reveal it here, but (Kim) asked for a message to be conveyed to the United States on the matter", Chung said.
"North Korea has been preemptively carrying out measures needed for denuclearisation, and Kim said he would appreciate that such good faith is accepted with good faith".
"If reciprocation is shown for North Korea's preemptive measures that have already been completed, he strongly expressed his will that more active measures for North Korea's denuclearisation can be taken".
He says the Koreas will hold talks next week to prepare for the summit.
But negotiations have since stalled over differences on how to implement the agreement, and amid signs of North Korea continuing with its weapons programme.
North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un is apparently still interested in peace in the Korean Peninsula.
Under discussion is whether denuclearization or declaring an end to the 1950-53 Korean War should come first.

Q: Is this a valid proof of Archimedes' principle? In Wikipedia, the Archimedes' principle is stated like this:

"The upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces"

In one section of our Physics textbook, they showed the proof of Archimedes' principle like this:
Lets say a cylinder is submerged completely in some fluid.Lets say the height if the cylinder is $h$ and the cross-sectional area of the cylinder is $A$ .Let us imagine that the cylinder is submerged in the fluid in such a way that the depth of the upper surface is $h_1$ and the depth of the lower surface is $h_2$.
We said a lot of times to you that the pressure in fluid / Gas does not act in a particular direction. The pressure acts on all direction .
So, the downward pressure acting on the cylinders upper surface is,
$$P_1=h_1\rho g$$
And, the upward pressure acting on the cylinders downward surface is,
$$P_2=h_2\rho g$$
So, the downward force acting on the cylinders upper surface and the upward force acting on the cylinders downward surface is ,
$$F_1 = AP_1 = Ah_1\rho g$$
$$F_2 = AP_2 = Ah_2\rho g$$
We don't have to think about the force acting around the cylinder .because if a force acts on one side of the cylinder , then another opposite force cancels out the original force.Because $h_2$ is greater than $h_1$ , $F_2$ has to be greater than $F_1$ .So the net force will be pointing upwards and its magnitude will be,
$$F = F_2 -F_1 = A(h_2 - h_1)\rho g = Ah\rho g$$
At this point , the proof is done.
There is some places where i felt some doubt myself.For example , They first say that pressure has no direction . But then they start saying things like "upward and downward pressure" in the proof.Also , Why that use the equation $P = h\rho g$ to calculate the upward pressure that the fluid puts on the bottom surface of the cylinder? ...etc.
At this point I have two question,

*

*Is this proof valid?

*How can I write a proof with any general solid? (not just cylinder)
Edit : For now,the meaning of the word 'immersed' will be 'fully surrounded by a liquid'. It is true that it will make Phenomenons like 'boats floating' out of scope , but I have did this to reduce too much complexity.

A:

*

*Is this proof valid ?

Yes, this proof for the cylindrical body is valid.
But the author should better say "upward and downward pressure force",
instead of "upward and downward pressure",
because pressure has no direction (as you correctly pointed out).

*How can I write a proof with any general solid ? (not just cylinder)

Archimedes' principle for an arbitrarily shaped body can most easily be proved
with Gauss' gradient theorem.
This theorem relates an integral over a closed surface area $\partial V$
to an integral over the enclosed volume $V$.
$$\oint_{\partial V} p(\vec{r})\ d\vec{A} = \int_V \vec{\nabla} p(\vec{r})\ dV \tag{1}$$
where $p(\vec{r})$ is any position-dependent function,
and $\vec{\nabla}$ is the gradient operator.
Now, as the position-dependent function
we choose the pressure
$$p(\vec{r})=p_0-\rho gz \tag{2}$$
where $z$ is the vertical position coordinate
and $p_0$ is the pressure at zero-level ($z=0$).
We need a minus sign here, because pressure increases
when going down in the liquid (i.e. in negative $z$-direction).
Then the gradient of (2) is
$$\vec{\nabla}p(\vec{r})=-\rho g\hat{z} \tag{3}$$
where $\hat{z}$ is the unit-vector in $z$-direction (i.e. upwards).
Inserting (3) into (1) we get
$$\oint_{\partial V} p(\vec{r}) d\vec{A} = \int_V (-\rho g\hat{z})\ dV. $$
Now on the left side $p\ d\vec{A}$ obviously is
the pressure force acting on the surface area element $d\vec{A}$
(except for a minus sign, because the force element $d\vec{F}$ points
inside the body, while the area element $d\vec{A}$ points outside).
And on the right side, the constants $(-\rho g\hat{z})$ can be factored out.
So we get
$$-\oint_{\partial V} d\vec{F}=-\rho g \hat{z} \int_V dV$$
or finally
$$\vec{F}=\rho g \hat{z} V.$$
This is just Archimedes' principle (Buoyant force is pointing upwards
and equal to the weight of the displaced liquid).

A: The proof is valid for a cylinder. You are right, though, that it is incorrect to talk about 'upward pressure' and 'downward pressure'. It is fine, of course, to talk about the upward force and downward force due to fluid pressure.
There are two well known ways to derive A's Principle for a general shape of solid. The first is a generalisation of the method you have quoted for a cylinder: we consider the sum (or integral) of vertical components of the forces due to hydrostatic pressure on the variously-angled elements of the solid's surface. The second method is this...
Consider the chunk, C, of fluid that used to occupy the space now occupied by the solid. C will have been in equilibrium (if the fluid is stationary), so the net force from the surrounding fluid on C must be equal and opposite to the weight of C. Now that C is replaced by the solid with exactly the same shape of surface as C, the resultant hydrostatic upthrust will be the same. Hence Archimedes' Principle.

The tenth week of the semester I presented sport. Despite the fact I know next to nothing about sport, I was extremely keen to present again.
I asked the sports editor Gareth Messenger to help me with the scripting and talk me through the sports stories for the week.
The guest editor for the week was Geoff Hill, the news editor from CNN, so I was keen to do well.
Everything went fairly smoothly. There were unfortunately some technical difficulties during the news as one of the VTs would not play, but Kieran Brannigan, the news presenter for the week, recovered well and the bulletin was successful. Geoff Hill praised the production team for recovering from the technical difficulty and explained that it is not something to be criticised but something we must all experience as it a difficulty anyone in the profession could encounter.
I managed to present sport confidently and again avoided stuttering or adding words to the script as I seemed to do in rehearsals. I was pleased to have had another chance to present.


For a shop that's right around the corner from me, you would think that I'd have explored this awhile ago...but no I stuck with my favorites...even visiting M&J Trims which is NOT a favorite of mine. But when I was looking for navy blue lace my favorites and M&J Trim had nothing that I was looking for so I stopped in here.
First can I say that this store is well lit and well stocked. They have everything you need to embellish a garment or even stitch one together - cause the other day I found sewing supplies.
They have laces, ribbons, zippers, bridal trims, embellished laces...shew! Buttons, boas, fringes...they have a lot of good stuff! I bought the lace for my Ann Taylor skirt here...the rick rack for my Vogue dress and a couple of other pieces that will go in the notions stash.
However, I'm thrilled to have found a new trim resource and it's so close to me that I will be buying more from them...because even though I have a notions stash, I always think of something new that I need.
I hope the next time you're in the Garment District that you will stop by Joyce Trimmings. I'm sure you will be able to find something you need there!
Must be nice to have all those buttons and trims so close to you. Purchasing buttons here can tend to be a challenge for me in my area most times.
Faye - I would try the website. Also I've read of other sewist purchasing great buttons from Etsy and eBay.
Actually it's quite easy...since you know it's there waiting for you when you need it. Plus I have a well-stocked sewing cave so I only venture in when I need something.
WOW! I've never seen anything like this in my neighbourhood.
They have a great website, you should try them.
Thank you so much for sharing another great online resource! I will definitely be checking it out-I need some black lace trim for a cocktail dress (Vogue 1428-that waistline trim) I'm making it for a friend and I haven't found anything quite "right" yet.
Thanks for the post! Always on the lookout for good trim shops in the garment district. Will certain stop in the next time I head up for some shopping!
You need to come visit even if it's only for a couple of days. We could eat well at night, shop all the good fabric and trim stores and maybe I will even take you to a museum or two!
Two blocks from your office? Damn am I jealous! I've walked past this store and never been in; I'll have to change that in future.
Nancy - you should definitely go in. I couldn't believe it when I walked in how well organized it was, calm and well priced compared to the overpriced offerings at M&J.
Oh my goodness! When I come to your town, I will definitely have to stop by Joyce's.


September 2009, taken during the very first Path of Samsara live performance.
At this place in time, I was in a state of emotional turmoil. Not too long ago, my mother had died of cancer after eight years of struggle. It hit me hard, with a storm of emotions all around me. The only way for me to find relief was to channel them into music.
Creating art is a painful, yet ultimately liberating process. You have to go to the deepest depths of your being and look at the parts of the self that you normally hide from the world. Deep down, where demons and angels alike reside. You journey to your own private underworld, looking straight into an endless abyss. Once you have returned, the task is to forge something solid out of the subconscious fragments you have collected.
There is nothing glamorous about creating art. If you wish to conquer pain, you need to have the willingness to look it straight in the eye. You make yourself quite vulnerable when you share your innermost feelings with the world. Some people may be genuinely moved by your work, while others spare no effort to put it down.
Only you can know why you're doing what you're doing. That seems to be the hardest part of being creative for many people, and yet the answer is with you all along. Be honest with yourself.
Back in September 2009 I promised myself to always create art that is a honest reflection of who I am. There where phases in my life where this promise has led to some difficult decisions.
Honesty isn't glamorous. Risk all to gain nothing, and in return lose everything.
And when everything seems to be lost, a long lost sense of freedom kicks in.
I want to thank you, dear reader, for taking the time to read through this rather personal Blog entry.
It means more to me than I can tell you.
August 2009, taken during the very first Path of Samsara photoshoot.

Q: Using If-Statement as test condition for For-Loop in Vb.net I've been writing some software in Vb.net and I've come to a point in the program where it would be best if I could place an if-statement in the header of a for-loop.
For example, in java, I could achieve what I need like so..
for (int I = 0; myArray[I].compareTo("") == 0; I ++)
{
    'code here
}

Unfortunately in Vb.net, all I know how to do is increment one number to a given number in a for-loop.  I am aware however, that what I need to do can be accomplished using an if-test inside the for-loop
For I as Integer = 0 To myArray.length 'only possible test is comparison between two ints

    'code here
    If myArray(I).compareTo("") <> 0 Then
       Exit For
    End If

Next

Its not a big deal having to do this but if there is a way to streamline this more into the for-loop control then I would like to know for now and future reference.
So my question is, is it possible to check an if-condition (other than comparing two numbers) inside the header of a for-loop in Vb.net?
Update: In response to @Olivier Jacot-Descombes 's answer, I just wanted to clarify that I know while loops are used to test if-conditions in loops, but they lose the functionality of auto-incrementing possessed by for-loops.  In Java, for-loops can do both of these.  Which is why I'm wondering if Vb.net has the same functionality all within the header of a for-loop control somehow.

A: Use a While-Loop instead
Dim i As Integer = 0
While i < myArray.Length AndAlso String.IsNullOrEmpty(myArray(i))
    'Code here
    i += 1
End While

In VB a string can be empty ("") or Nothing (null in C#). In order to cope with both situations use String.IsNullOrEmpty(s).
AndAlso (unlike And) ensures shortcut evaluation. I.e. if the first condition is not True then the second will not be evaluated. We need this here, otherwise the array would throw an "Index out of bounds" exception. Note also that the array index goes from 0 to array.Length - 1.
But you can also exit from a For-loop with Exit For
For I As Integer = 0 To myArray.Length-1

    'code here
    If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(myArray(I)) Then
       Exit For
    End If

Next

But exiting a loop like this can make the code unreadable. The problem is that the For-loop has now 2 exit points and loop and exit conditions defined at different places.
There is also a Do...Loop statement allowing you to test the condition at the end of the loop.

A: The short answer is no. Visual Basic languages don't have anything like the C/java style for() loop.
The longer answer is that depending on what you want, you might not even need a loop.
Dim a = {"a", Nothing, "", "b"}

' this will print from 0 to 1, but Array.IndexOf returns -1 if value is not found
For i = 0 To Array.IndexOf(a, "") - 1
    Debug.Print(i & "")
Next

For Each item In a : If item = "" Then Exit For ' this is actually 2 lines separated by :
    Debug.Print("'{0}'", item)
Next

For Each item In a.TakeWhile(Function(s) s > "") ' TakeWhile is a System.Linq extension
    Debug.Print("'{0}'", item)
Next

a.TakeWhile(Function(s) s > "").ToList.ForEach(AddressOf Debug.Print) ' prints a

a.TakeWhile(Function(s) s > "").ToList.ForEach(Sub(s) Debug.Print(s)) ' prints a

Calling all gigglers, cacklers, chortlers, and belly laughers, this is the day you've been waiting for. National Let's Laugh Day is a 24-hour joke-fest where we celebrate the uniting force of laughter. Brought to you this year by Laffy Taffy — the candy that has been bringing you and your family little bites of joy with jokes on every wrapper since 1971 — Let's Laugh Day is a chance to have a chuckle with the ones you love (rubber chicken not required).
Originally Beich's Caramels, these fun and fruity confections were renamed Laffy Taffy and sold under the Wonka brand. Each piece has a joke on the wrapper making it officially the funniest candy in the world.
Charles Douglass, a sound engineer, invented the laugh track. It became a standard in mainstream television. Most prime-time sitcoms used it from the late 1950s to the late 1970s.
Yes, THAT Aristophanes. While there's nothing funnier than ancient Greek playwrights, Aristophanes was apparently quite the crack up. His brand of comedy included political satire and innuendo that would make Judd Apatow blush.
With a joke on every wrapper, Laffy Taffy has more jokes than a comedy show. Pick up a bag and keep your family (and yourself) in stitches for hours.
Like plumbing or dental work, comedy can often be thoroughly enjoyed coming from a professional. But that doesn't mean you should avoid the open mic nights. Even a bad joke can be funny.
Hop on that streaming service and take a deep dive down comedy lane. With thousands of titles to choose from, there's a comedy for everyone. Even some of the older ones hold up.
Do you even know anyone who DOESN'T laugh?
77% of Americans think they are funny, and 96% of Americans like to make other people laugh. We all like to laugh, at ourselves, and at each other. 55% of Americans even laugh when they are alone.
There are almost as many types of laughter as there are things to laugh at. At 30%, the most common laugh in the U.S. is the giggle. But at National Today, we're howlers all the way.
