DaBaby understands his brand, even if you do not. His most recent album is titled Baby on Baby. The project's artwork features a big DaBaby smiling as a miniature DaBaby sits on the brim of his hat. The third song on that album is "Goin Baby." In years past, he's featured the Boss Baby (best known for DreamWorks' 2017 film The Boss Baby) with a fade and face tattoo on the cover of a mixtape (Baby Talk 5), and appeared at SXSW in a diaper. The brand, for lack of any other word, is baby.
There a few things to note about DaBaby from my observations of the rising rapper: he's a marketing genius, a music video savant and, surprisingly, humble. In 2019, rappers are lucky to have one of those qualities, but rarely possess all three. He also seems to enjoy the act of rapping in a way that makes him stand out from his peers. Often, DaBaby is so excited by a beat that he launches into a verse mere seconds after it begins. Raspy, boisterous and intricate, DaBaby's voice is as entertaining as his physical persona. It's the artistic anchor that allows him to convincingly play a cowboy one minute and impersonate Suge Knight the next.

During a phone conversation, the North Carolina rapper balanced unfiltered confidence with measured humility. He may feel like he's the best rapper alive, but at 27 years old he's been waiting longer than most for his turn. It's potentially why he'll pepper the conversations with thoughtful answers, compliment Rolling Stone and thank me at the conversation's conclusion. DaBaby isn't taking anything for granted.
For those that don't know what does the term "Goin' Baby" mean?
"Goin' baby," that's the new wave. Rolling Stone, I like y'all articles, I like y'all magazine covers. Y'all be goin' baby. Anything that you do [to] the best it could be done, you goin' baby. If you hit the gym every day, you go hard, you got your body right, your body goes, you goin' baby. Females, they goin' baby. When she put that dress on with them heels and get her hair done, she goin' baby. When I shoot these game-changing videos, when I chart on Billboard with my debut project with only a week of self-promotion, I'm goin' baby. Anything that you do exceedingly well you goin' baby.
In a recent context, most listeners know North Carolina through the eyes of J. Cole. What makes your vision of North Carolina different from his?
It's coming from two different perspectives. No story is told exactly the same by two different people and we from two different places in North Carolina too. That's something that can be added to it too. He's from Fayetteville. I'm from Charlotte. We got two different upbringings. All in all though, I love J. Cole's perspective and I love his music. I love his approach. It's just two different things. Shout-out to Cole though.
For people who have never been there, what is it like in Charlotte?
Charlotte, it's what somebody from New York or L.A. would say is a small town, but it isn't. It's right in between being a small town and a city. It's more of a city. We still got a national basketball team, football team, all that. We still have a downtown, we still have different sides of the town that are completely different from each other. Charlotte is a place to come up, and to do what I'm doing is unheard of. It doesn't happen like that in Charlotte.
You're one of the few rappers bringing back that Busta Rhymes, Eminem level of humor to music videos. When did you first develop a visual signature for your videos?
I really came into the game with that. I've been wanting to do that from the get-go, but with some of the ideas and the concepts, I come with early on, they would've been too much for the viewers. They wouldn't have been ready to receive that from me. They weren't. I tried it. I tried to be as crazy as possible in videos, but people are slow to catching onto that, because it's a fresh face, a new face.
With staying consistent though, that's what changed it. That's what shed that light on it. I kind of forced it. I pushed the envelope and now people have no choice. I stayed so consistent with it and did it so much and just grinded to where I got the platform to where I got it…. Now it's undeniable.
Who do you see as the biggest competition of all the other Babies in rap right now?
Out of all of them right now I'd say Lil Baby, just at where he's hot at, but I wouldn't even call it competition. I'm more inspired than anything. Cause the way he came out and rose to the top of the game, I'm more inspired than anything, but I definitely got to take off my hat to what he got going on. But at the end of the day, what's going to set me apart from anybody else is the fact I'm coming with some different. Through time it's going to shine through whatever.
"Walker Texas Ranger" was such a breakout moment. It's one of the best music videos of the year. What inspired that Western theme and for you to commit so much to the character of playing a cowboy?
First and foremost, the production of the track. Shoutout to 20 on the Beat, a producer from right here in Charlotte where I'm from. He sent the beat through and it really just took me on that ride. As far as creating the song, my video concepts they always gon' tie into the song. So I got to start off with the creation of the song first. It took me on that ride.
I made an analogy comparing myself to Walker, Texas Ranger and I went with it. I got with my video production team the Reel Goats, and I'm like "How dope would it be if I played a cowboy like Walker, Texas Ranger." I went bought the hat, bought the lil' uniform. They scouted out locations. We up in the mountains, in the damn desert somewhere, and once we turn the cameras and the music on: "Boom." I hit a switch and I take it there.
You have a tendency on record to get so excited you'll start rapping the first second the beat drops.
Where did that come from?
I don't know. It's just a testament to my hunger. I can't even wait for the beat to drop to start eating. It's all about how I'm feeling and more often than not, especially before I just dropped this project, I feel like it's time. Anything that's not given, what's worked for, I'm gonna take it. That's what I'm doing. I'm taking your head off before the song play. Some songs I rap before the beat even play and I enjoy doing that. I like walking the beat down.
What was Arnold Taylor's pitch to you for partnering with him at South Coast Music Group two years ago?
He's such an important staple to music in the Carolina, period. Not only in Carolina, but nationwide. He's real lowkey and real modest and real humble about what he does. He's worked with some of the greats and contributed to their careers. Anybody that is trying to go into business with me, of course, I'm gon' do my research on them. I was trying to figure out how to get radio play. I ended up in his office anyways before even linking up with him, to work on the radio campaign. It ended up talking with him about him wanting to sign me and I think King Carter brought me to his attention. From that point on, I guess he liked what I had going on. He came, hollered at me. He let me know what it was.
Even with Interscope now, I make it real easy on the label. I come with way more than the average artist is gon' come with. I'm hands-on when it comes to marketing, when it comes to everything.
In 20 years, who would play you in a biopic, who would direct, and what would the name of the movie be?
We'd call the movie, Baby Jesus. I don't know who would direct it. We might need Denzel [Washington] to play me. Might need Denzel to go back in a time machine. Prolly have John Singleton to direct it. We might go Hype Williams. It's no telling.

The true cost of the climate crisis on Japan
The prime minister has called for Japan to be carbon neutral by 2050, but bolder measures look necessary to reduce the economic damage caused by global warming.

When Yoshihide Suga declared in October that Japan would be carbon neutral by 2050, he became the first Japanese prime minister to set a specific timeline in the country's bid to become emissions free.
As ambitious as Suga's pledge may be, it's far from being a pipe dream. The world is slowly taking concrete steps to address the climate crisis, and Japan simply can ill afford to sit on the sidelines any longer.
Japan is as vulnerable to climate change as any other country in the world. Its 2019 typhoon season was the costliest on record, closely followed by 2018. What's more, scorching heat waves hospitalized thousands across the country in 2018 and 2019, while record rainfall in this period forced millions to evacuate from their homes.
"Typhoons that are supposed to (make landfall) only once in 100 years seem to be striking Japan every year," says Soma Kondo, a spokesperson for Climate Youth Japan. "I think any more damage will have the entire country concerned about global warming."
Many of these aspects of climate change are no longer projections, but realities. In 2018, the Environment Ministry reported that annual temperatures recorded in Japan are rising faster than the global average — and that the archipelago gets an extra day of "heat wave" weather once every five years. The report noted more days of heavy precipitation, fewer days of rain overall and a snow depth reduction of about 13% per decade.

It has recently become evident just how deep the consequences of climate change run in Japan, cutting deeply into the fabric of the country's economy and society. The economic consequences of the climate crisis in Japan include storms that bring ruin to local infrastructure and businesses, and climate-related agricultural damage to pillars of regional economies and cultural pride such as rice, fresh produce and seafood.
The most dramatic consequence of the climate crisis comes in the form of increased rainfall and powerful typhoons. Annual instances of extreme precipitation in Japan have increased by 50% since the 1970s, and it has certainly felt that way: Between Typhoon Lan in 2017, Typhoon Jebi in 2018, Typhoon Hagibis in 2019, and torrential rain that caused millions to evacuate in western Japan in 2018 and Kyushu in 2017, 2019 and 2020, the impact has been nothing short of devastating. In 2019, damage caused by Typhoon Hagibis exceeded ¥1.8 trillion, a record for a water-caused natural disaster that wasn't related to a tsunami. The previous record was the heavy rain recorded in Okayama and western Japan in 2018.
"Everything (is at risk)," says Miguel Esteban, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Waseda University. "From an engineering point of view, it would probably be better to move everybody out of this country and resettle them elsewhere."
Tropical storms form as a consequence of heat and so, generally speaking, the hotter the weather, the more typhoons occur. Studies show that global warming has increased the proportion of severe tropical storms around the world.

Most of the economic damage during such storms occurs to infrastructure and buildings. Last summer, heavy rain in Kyushu killed 64, forced 200,000 residents to evacuate, caused 105 rivers to overflow, 316 mudslides, and, according to Kumamoto prefecture, monetary damage of more than ¥556 billion. The area around the Kuma River was particularly hard-hit, with houses and bridges being swept away.
"Heavy rain in Kumamoto in recent years has caused major floods and landslides," says Toshio Fujimi, a professor of engineering at Kumamoto University's Center for Water Cycle, Marine Environment and Disaster Management. "As a result, we have seen heavy damage to major roads and agriculture by sediment flowing into farmland, as well as the destruction of dams and reservoirs."
There is also a ripple effect on local businesses and the local economy. In November 2019, Nikkei Asia reported that Typhoon Hagibis had significantly disrupted the tourist season in Hakone, cutting off mountain railway services as well as spring water to hotels and inns. Fujimi anticipates that Kumamoto will suffer from the same problem, as tourists shy away from visiting disaster-struck regions.
Even the temporary suspension of a bullet train can cast a long shadow over local economies in the nearby region.
"Tourist numbers have been slow to recover, even after the bullet train resumed operation," Tateki Ataka, president of Hokkoku Bank in Ishikawa, told Nikkei Asia after Hagibis. "It seems that tourists remain reluctant to make trips as the impact of the typhoon lingers."

And while rising sea levels in Japan don't pose an immediate problem to many of the country's residents, the World Wide Fund for Nature estimates that about ¥12 trillion will be needed to protect infrastructure and coastlines against a 1-meter rise in sea levels. And, as if that's not enough, replacing infrastructure that is damaged by storms every year is difficult enough without having to set financial resources aside to fight COVID-19.
"The river flood defenses in Tokyo are currently being upgraded to withstand 1-in-200-year events," Esteban says. "Adaptation is much cheaper than leaving things vulnerable."
In a 2016 study, Esteban and his team calculated that the cost of inaction could exceed ¥100 trillion in damage, compared to the ¥370 billion investment required to upgrade Tokyo's infrastructure to defend the city against storm surges and rising sea levels.

The climate crisis has also already led to changes for some of Japan's most important agricultural products — first and foremost, rice.
When growing rice, high temperatures can cause white immature grain as well as cracked grain by reducing starch production and breaking apart the husk. The Environment Ministry reported that cases of both white immature grain and cracked grain have been increasingly seen around Japan — as well as a reduction in yield in unusually warm years. As early as 2012, 25 prefectures had already reported an increase in rice grain damage.
JA Oita, the regional cooperative of farms in Oita Prefecture, says that high temperatures and irregular, but extreme, rainfall have combined to make last year extremely poor in terms of a rice yield.
"The quality of the rice has deteriorated because the night temperature does not drop due to global warming," says Yasunori Hitomi, a representative from JA Oita. "The number of ears of rice is also decreasing because of less rainfall overall. As a result, the rice-crop index of Oita Prefecture last year was 77, compared to the national average of 98."
Extreme heat's effects on rice quality and yields can have knock-on business consequences. When actual shipments don't match the projected yields, the balance of supply and demand is disrupted, causing over- or under-supply and unexpected competition between different regions.
"We haven't been able to make shipments according to our plan, so our prices won't rise," Hitomi says.
Projections suggest that 30% decreases in rice yields for most of Japan outside of Hokkaido and Tohoku are possible in the next 50 years.
Rising temperatures are also having consequences on fruit. The Environment Ministry has reported that high temperatures and low summer precipitation has caused damage to grapes, apples, persimmons, oranges and peaches.
A study on apples showed that negative effects of high temperatures have been observed in Nagano Prefecture, and predicted that the climate would be too warm to grow apples in the country by 2060. Farmers cited in the study were particularly concerned in the short-term over paler colored apples, which drastically lower prices, since the Japanese market highly values colorful fruit. Nagano farmers described earlier blooming as well as higher fall temperatures, later frosts and more hail storms — events all linked to the climate crisis.
Katsutoshi Osanai of JA Aomori says that high September and October temperatures are inhibiting the ripening of their apples and even burning the fruit.
"We haven't seen large impacts on our vegetables yet, but the mild winter snowfalls … (are) definitely a different climate from the old Aomori Prefecture," Osanai says.
Storms can also bring devastation to farmers, such as when Typhoon Hagibis caused damage totalling ¥102 billion to crops such as rice, apples and cucumbers.

The climate crisis is further beginning to have effects on Japan's fisheries. Jorge Molinos, a professor at the Arctic Research Center at Hokkaido University, who studies the effects of the climate crisis on the marine ecosystem, says that climate change is causing a rapid reorganization of marine life by relocating species within warming oceans.
Japan's unique geography puts temperate waters in contact with tropical waters. Fish are sensitive to changes in temperature, so tropical species are pushing north.
"Tropical herbivorous fish, which are arriving in increasing numbers to the temperate costs of Shikoku or Kyushu are putting extra pressure on temperate seaweed, posing a serious threat to these valuable ecosystems," Molinos says. "The tropicalization in Japan has many faces, like the expansion of tropical coral reefs … or the population decline of temperate species."
Challenges for the fishing industry have emerged all over the country, from Hokkaido's salmon, Pacific saury and squid catches to the disappearance of abalone and anchovies in Tokyo Bay. While difficult to link directly to climate change, the salmon catch has plummeted in Hokkaido by 70% in the past 15 years.
"The fishing industry is very concerned," says Shinichi Ito, a professor at the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute at Tokyo University. "Higher water temperatures are causing problems for nori and wakame (seaweed)."
Large-scale losses of seaweed cultivation grounds were previously observed in Kyushu and Yamaguchi Prefecture in 2013. Then, in last year's summer, local divers and fishers in Tokyo Bay reported the additional loss of seaweed beds. Tropical reefs were first confirmed in Kanto waters as recently as 2007.
"With the loss of the seaweed beds, large abalone, which were our local specialty, died out," Koichi Hirashima, head of a local fisher's association tells Kyodo News. Hirashima says that it has also become nearly impossible to catch anchovies and cherry bass in February due to higher ocean temperatures.
Adaptation to the climate crisis is possible and already underway. Farmers around Japan have even changed crops to get by. In the Nanyo region of Ehime Prefecture, farmers started growing Tarocco orange, which can tolerate higher levels of summer heat. On the islands and coastal areas of Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, farmers have begun cultivating avocados to cope with warmer climates. A sake brewery that operated in Nakatsugawa, Gifu, for nearly 150 years recently relocated to Hokkaido due to global warming.
"The colder the weather is, the better the quality of sake," Koji Yamada, president and master brewer of the company tells the Asahi Shimbun. "This is an issue we must resolve over the next 100 years."

Hokkaido fishing operators, already suffering from poor salmon hauls and encountering inedible sunfish for the first time ever, are rapidly changing to yellowtail and even bluefin tuna in order to stay afloat.
"Yellowtail is an important fishery item mainly in southern Japan," says Naoki Kumagai, a researcher at the National Institute for Environmental Studies. "When it started to be caught in Hokkaido, it was (worthless). Now however, yellowtail has been priced well also in Hokkaido."
But the cultural loss cannot be quantified. The indigenous Ainu people had 133 words for salmon, the crucial ingredient in Hokkaido's beloved sashimi rice bowl. Fishing operators can catch yellowtail instead, but what is Hokkaido without salmon?
To protect their apple trees, farmers in Nagano Prefecture delay harvests and place reflective materials on the ground. But even these measures can't prevent severe typhoons from wiping away entire harvests, much like Hagibis did two years ago. Nagano Prefecture is highly prized for its apples, and currently contributes to 18% of the national harvest. What is Nagano Prefecture without apples?
Thus, the climate crisis has begun to threaten long-standing regional specialties and local culture. The prices and accessibility of fish, fruit, grain and vegetables may create consequential changes in the economic and cultural life and image of regions around Japan.

Climate change, with its challenges, brings opportunities for innovation. The Environment Ministry reported on the growth of agriculture support services and technologies to improve the heat tolerance of buildings.
"The past few years have seen Japan's national resilience — green infrastructure, smart city and other initiatives — turned into platforms that specifically link national agencies, subnational governments, business and civil society," says Andrew DeWit, a professor of economics at Rikkyo University. "These partnerships have seen growth rates of several hundred percent over the past year."
The larger problem is that Japan's climate policy, despite Suga's ambitious declaration, remains in limbo. After the 1992 Kyoto Protocol, Japan's climate strategy was based on nuclear energy. However, following the nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant in 2011, Japan deactivated all of its nuclear reactors — and just a handful remain in operation today. This shift led to a decade of resurgent fossil fuel use in the 2010s. Combined with stagnation in renewable growth, Japan is far from reducing emissions targets that align with the Paris agreement's objectives.
"Since the Environment Ministry is in charge of climate change policy, measures are limited to homes and offices, and there is no energy or transportation policy," says Kenrou Taura, a representative from Kiko Network, a Kyoto-based climate organization. "Many of the policies have further convinced people that measures against climate change are inconvenient and inhibit economic growth."

Now, climate change itself is inhibiting economic growth, affecting infrastructure, rice, fruit, fisheries — and livelihoods — across Japan.
"We do not disregard individual efforts to be eco-friendly, but we believe there is a need for major social and economic changes," Taura says. "We need adaptation and mitigation measures for each region, and information and educational programs to promote the participation and understanding of residents. Raising CO2 reduction targets should be given top priority."

We received the President's response to this report yesterday. I share both the interim report and the President's letter with you now as attachments below. As you will note, given the projected very low rate of cost increase for health plans in 2019, few changes are recommended for next year. In addition, the Working Group will continue its deliberations into the next academic year as such a low rate of cost increase is unlikely in the long-term.
The UC Office of the President has just released a compilation of background materials that have been reviewed by the Retiree Health Benefits Working Group over the last many weeks. This "Interim Summary" is in response to requests that information be provided that can be shared more broadly. John Meyer of UC Davis, the Retiree representative will be reviewing this deck along with Emeriti representative to the Work Group, Roger Anderson, to determine if clarifications are required.

Major British news outlet appears to question legitimacy of Biden election victory
A writer for a major British newspaper appeared to endorse former President Donald Trump's longstanding allegation that his 2020 election opponent, Joe Biden, did not legitimately win the White House.
(Article by Jonathan Davis republished from ConservativeBrief.com)
"So Trump was right," Rob Liddle began in his piece for the Sunday Times. "The American public is slowly waking up to the fact that they are being led by an ineffectually devious, senile halfwit.
"Donald Trump is back in the lead in the opinion polls. Imagine how awful a president must be if people would rather that sack of meat with mittens were back in charge," he continued.
"Soon the public will wake up to something even more unpleasant and sinister: that the last presidential election was a fraud, rigged by big business, the labor unions and, more than anything, the media and the tech companies," Liddle noted further.
"If that election had taken place in any other country, it would have been called 'unfree'. And, as more and more evidence emerges, it terrifies me that the same thing could happen here," he predicted.
The Sunday Times piece isn't the first from a major media outlet to suggest that some sort of behind-the-scenes operation took place during the election cycle last year to defeat the incumbent.
Time magazine published a report Feb. 4, roughly two weeks after President Joe Biden was inaugurated, under the headline, "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election," laying out various details and aspects that certainly indicate a concerted effort to ensure a particular outcome, namely, defeating Trump, that involved giant corporations, big tech giants, and powerful labor unions:
Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers, and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump's conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result.
While aspects of Time's report have been refuted, such as the claim that Trump was 'assaulting democracy' as president, Time's report makes clear to Liddle that something happened that maybe should not have.
"What we didn't know until we were told in February this year, courtesy of Time magazine, was that there actually was a conspiracy — a secret coalition of chief executives, labor unions, left-wing pressure groups, and media companies — to manage what information was available to the voting public," Liddle went on. "Its aim, as The Wall Street Journal put it, was to 'suppress unwanted elements of US political conversation'. What a wonderful phrase," he wrote in the Times.
"Time magazine reported this as if the cabal — it called the arrangement a cabal — had been acting heroically," he noted further. "To save the US public from making the same mistake again and electing that Brobdingnagian boor — and to do so by suppressing stories favorable to him."
Liddle also cited Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, who reportedly worked behind the scenes as well to undermine his then-commander-in-chief.
"Now we discover that General Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, was also conspiring against the president," Liddle wrote. "Twice Milley called Chinese diplomats to let them know that he would countermand any order from Trump to attack China — which seems to a lot of US conservatives to be an act of pure treason. Milley also went behind his president's back to connive with the Democrat leader of the House, Nancy Pelosi."
"The reasoning for this was that Trump was 'unhinged' — a familiar notion peddled by the media for the four years of his presidency," the writer continued. "Was he? I don't know. He didn't seem terribly hinged to me, but then Americans rarely do. But more unhinged than your average American — or Joe Biden?"
"Whatever the case, that election one year ago was plainly rigged," he argues. "Not by fraudulent postal votes. But by an affluent elite conspiring, brutally at times, to ensure that the American public heard only one side of the story."

Who Wants To Buy A Las Vegas Resort?
Bess Levin
As some of you may recall, Deutsche Bank owns a casino1 (and hotel) in Las Vegas called The Cosmopolitan. If it seems out of character2 for the Germans to be proprietors of an establishment whose motto is "Just the right amount of wrong," where people lay scantily clad around a pool by day and gorge themselves on food and drink before vomiting while waiting in line to get into a club by night, that's because Deutsche only meant to get into the business of funding the project, not running it. Unfortunately, in 2008 the original developer, Ian Bruce Eichner, had to go and default on his loans, and when it became apparent that no one else wanted to invest in the place, the bank decided to just finish the thing itself, spending an addition $3 billion that went towards things like "a three-story crystal-strewn bar meant to evoke the inside of a chandelier." Anyway, the resort has been been making slightly more money than in earlier years (while still "post[ing] net losses of around $100 million every year since opening") and management has decided that as much fun as its been owning an in-house nightclub called "Rose. Rabbit. Lie.", it's time to sell.
Germany's largest bank is seeking more than $2 billion for the resort and has attracted at least four possible bidders, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the information isn't public. Two others said it may be valued closer to $1.5 billion. Deutsche Bank foreclosed on the property after developer Ian Bruce Eichner defaulted on a construction loan in January 2008, and has labeled it a temporary investment.
Make an offer today.
Deutsche Bank Said to Seek Sale of Cosmopolitan Las Vegas Resort [Bloomberg]
1. Where people would rather pick up a pair of Crochet Flare Pants at Molly Brown Swimwear than gamble: "Shopping, restaurants and shows at the Cosmopolitan, including at its three-story Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub, contributed more than twice as much gross revenue last year as its 110,000 square-foot casino."↩
2. Or not out of character at all.↩

PHP Form Validation Example

* required field.

<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">
  Name: <input type="text" name="name">
  * <?php echo $nameErr;?>

  E-mail: <input type="text" name="email">
  * <?php echo $emailErr;?>

  Website: <input type="text" name="website">
  <?php echo $websiteErr;?>

  Comment: <textarea name="comment" rows="5" cols="40"></textarea>

  Gender:
  <input type="radio" name="gender" value="female">Female
  <input type="radio" name="gender" value="male">Male
  * <?php echo $genderErr;?>

  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

A: This should work for the PDO Database:

*

*It won't submit to your database until you complete all the required fields and will also display the required input error messages.

*It won't clear all the fields if you forget to fill in one of the required fields and submit.

I added an If statement to the connection.

PLOS ONE	vol.:9, issue.:4, p.:e93469.
Matrilin-2 (Matn2) is a multidomain adaptor protein which plays a role in the assembly of extracellular matrix (ECM). It is produced by oval cells during stem cell-driven liver regeneration. In our study, the impact of Matn2 on hepatocarcinogenesis was investigated in Matn2(-/-) mice comparing them with wild-type (WT) mice in a diethylnitrosamine (DEN) model. The liver tissue was analyzed macroscopically, histologically and immunohistochemically, at protein level by Proteome Profiler Arrays and Western blot analysis. Matn2(-/-) mice exhibited higher susceptibility to hepatocarcinogenesis compared to wild-type mice. In the liver of Matn2(-/-) mice, spontaneous microscopic tumor foci were detected without DEN treatment. After 15 mu g/g body weight DEN treatment, the liver of Matn2(-/-) mice contained macroscopic tumors of both larger number and size than the WT liver. In contrast with the WT liver, spontaneous phosphorylation of EGFR, Erk1/2 GSK-3 alpha/beta and retinoblastoma protein (p-Rb), decrease in p21/CIP1 level, and increase in beta-Catenin protein expression were detected in Matn2(-/-) livers. Focal Ki-67 positivity of these samples provided additional support to our presumption that the lack of Matn2 drives the liver into a pro-proliferatory state, making it prone to tumor development. This enhanced proliferative capacity was further increased in the tumor nodules of DEN-treated Matn2(-/-) livers. Our study suggests that Matn2 functions as a tumor suppressor in hepatocarcinogenesis, and in this process activation of EGFR together with that of Erk1/2, as well as inactivation of GSK-3 beta, play strategic roles.

Experts warn of multiple health risks associated with women applying tobacco powder in genitals
News Desk — June 5, 2021 add comment
Experts have warned of the implications and multiple health risks associated with women applying tobacco powder in their genitals.
The 'miracle recipe' as it is called in many parts of Africa, is made from dried tobacco leaves and the root of a tree called "tangora" or native plants such as "kankouran mano" or "koundinding.
The practice is common in many West African countries including The Gambia.
Dr. Awa Jah, a gynecologist, warned that usage of tobacco power comes with many health implications and no benefits whatsoever. She said that pregnant women who use it are likely to develop infections before or after child birth. She added that its' most serious effect is the possibility of the user developing cancer.
Mba Fatou, a housewife, while admitting that tobacco cures ailments like muscle or joint pains, cautioned that it is very harmful for women who apply it on their genitals. She also warned that it might raise the risk of cancer and still birth.
Another woman, Ndey Fatou Camara, who also elaborated on the issue, said that women who use tobacco powder on their genitals are doing more harm than good to themselves. "We urge the health authorities to help sensitise the women and girls about tobacco usage. It is not only used in The Gambia but Worldwide by both young and old people, just to increase their sexual pleasure in their matrimonial homes," she added.
She then advised women to stop using tobacco especially those that are not yet married because it might prevent them from getting pregnant.
Fatou Camara added that it is disheartening that many women blame doctors for the high maternal mortality rate in recent times, knowing full well that they [women] are the main cause of it.
Medical Experts Warning
Medical experts say the use of tobacco on genitals could cause a woman to develop complications during childbirth, as it brings too great an increase in the rate of uterine contractions, which sometimes causes a decrease in oxygenation in the fetus, resulting in stillbirth or, in other cases, neonatal death. A study on the impact of smoking on female genitals, published in January 2018 in the British journal Scientific Reports found that smoking changes vaginal flora and that these changes put women who smoke at a high risk of vaginal infections. Medical experts opine that these risks could be higher in women who put tobacco directly in contact with their vaginal and cervical mucosa. This area is very sensitive and attacking it with a product made of tobacco and soda could be 'suicidal'.

Traditionally, hull and deck seams of wooden vessels have been packed with cotton batting and oakum to prevent leaks. Oakum is historically made from hemp fibers that are lightly tarred to help make the material rot resistant. An individual vessel of the size of USS Constitution would use thousands of feet of cotton batting and oakum. For example, in 1820, Amos Binney, the Naval Purchasing Agent in Boston, advertised to purchase 20,000 pounds of oakum to be used at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, Kittery, Maine.
For Constitution's current restoration, all of the caulking below the waterline and in between new hull planks is being replaced. The oakum is delivered in tightly packed bundles of fibers and must be unraveled, picked clean of grass and debris, fluffed, and rolled into long strands. The cotton batting is delivered rolled and ready to be used. Visitors to the USS Constitution Museum can try their hand at caulking in our daily hands-on programs.
The caulking process begins with several strands of cotton batting driven deep between the planks using a caulking iron and mallet. Next, several layers of oakum are similarly driven into the seams. The caulking mallet has evolved into a uniquely designed ship building tool with a cylindrical head of a hard wood, banded with iron at either end to prevent the head from splitting. The handle is in similar proportion to the head, allowing the caulker to swing the mallet with ease for long periods of time regardless of the angle at which the caulking is being driven into the ship.
When a ship enters the water, the hull planks will swell, but not enough to prevent the ship from leaking. Cotton batting and oakum are used to make the ship water tight. Cotton batting is driven into the seams first because it expands quickly when wet. However, it is not very rot resistant and therefore cannot make up the whole of the ship's caulking. Oakum, on the other hand, is more rot resistant but does not swell as rapidly in the seams. The two fibers are used in tandem to create a perfect seal between the planks. Tar was historically applied to finish off the seams. Today, a rubberized marine sealant is used in lieu of tar.
USS Constitution's upper masts and yards were down-rigged prior to entering dry dock in May 2015. The rigging is currently being overhauled and repaired in NHHC Detachment Boston's rigging loft. Beginning in the 1960s, Constitution's rig was no longer made of natural fiber line. Today, her standing rigging is made of spun polyester and her running rigging is made of fibrillated polypropylene yarns. The modern synthetic lines offer greater strength, durability, and are more resistant to acid rain and the sun's damaging ultra-violet rays. While the ship is down-rigged, the NHHC Detachment Boston riggers are surveying all of the rigging to determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
USS Constitution's live oak frames above the waterline were completely replaced in the 1927-1931 restoration. In the intervening decades, the ship's hull planking has been replaced many times. Each time a plank and its fasteners are removed, fastener holes are left in the frames. The holes are subsequently filled with oak plugs prior to the installation of the new plank to maintain the structural integrity of the frames.
For USS Constitution's 1931-1934 three-coast National Cruise, the ship was fully outfitted with furniture for the 81 officers and crew on board. The well-known Paine Furniture Company in Boston manufactured a variety of pieces for the ship during the 1927-1931 restoration, including the mahogany cabin lounge for the Captain's After Cabin. Originally, the lounge was upholstered in dark brown leather and the cushions filled with horse hair. While not an exact replica of Federal era (1785-1825) furniture, the lounge displays motifs reminiscent of the period. Notably, the delicately carved swagged drapery on the lounge's crest rail and the pierced support under the armrest are nods to the Federal era.
The original upholstery is long gone. For the current restoration, the lounge cushions were restored by Dynasty Auto Tops & Upholstery company in Revere, Massachusetts. Dynasty Upholstery retied the springs, refilled the cushions with cotton batting, and covered them with a brown, leather-like vinyl. The damp atmosphere of the ship precludes using real leather, which rots too quickly.


Answer: access control list (ACL) access control list ACL 4. ____ are user accounts that remain active after an employee has left an organization. Answer: Orphaned accounts Authentication Services 1. Note that authentication services can be provided on a network by a dedicated authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server or by an authentication server. 2. Explain that the most common type of authentication and AAA servers are RADIUS, Kerberos, Terminal Access Control Access Control Systems (TACACS), and generic servers built on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). RADIUS 1. Explain that RADIUS, or Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, was developed in 1992 and quickly became the industry standard with widespread support across nearly all vendors of networking equipment.
Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, Fourth Edition 9-7 2. Emphasize that RADIUS is suitable for what are called "high-volume service control applications" such as dial-in access to a corporate network. 3. Discuss the steps for RADIUS authentication. Refer to Figure 9-7, which illustrates the steps. Kerberos 1. Explain that Kerberos is an authentication system developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and used to verify the identity of networked users. 2. Describe how Kerberos works. Terminal Access Control Access Control System (TACACS) 1. Explain that similar to RADIUS, Terminal Access Control Access Control System (TACACS) is an authentication service commonly used on UNIX devices that communicates by forwarding user authentication information to a centralized server. 2. Note that the centralized server can either be a TACACS database or a database such as a Linux or UNIX password file with TACACS protocol support. 3. Refer to Table 9-5 for a comparison of RADIUS and TACACS+. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) 1. Define a directory service, which is a database stored on the network itself that contains information about users and network devices. 2. Emphasize that it contains information such as the user's name, telephone extension, e- mail address, logon name, and other facts. 3. Explain that the directory service also keeps track of all of the resources on the network and a user's privileges to those resources, and grants or denies access based on the directory service information. 4. Note that directory services make it much easier to grant privileges or permissions to network users. 5. Explain that LDAP makes it possible for almost any application running on virtually any computer platform to obtain directory information.


As regular readers know (although since I have been so neglectful about blogging, I'm not sure I can legitimately claim to have any regular readers anymore), I am never optimistic that a successful Israeli-Palestinian peace deal is on the horizon. For some reasons why not, you can read this or this or this or this. The two sides are way too far apart on core issues, don't even necessarily agree about what the most important core issues are, make demands that the other side will not meet, and feel that they have better options available to them, not to mention the fact that the negotiations are designed to rectify the problems of 1967 when in reality the issue is 1948. There is no sense of urgency and the two sides are completely talking past each other. Despite all of this, the reports from the Kerry camp have been consistently optimistic, the team led by Martin Indyk has been beefing up staff, and it actually seems like maybe both sides will accept a framework agreement. So despite my conviction that none of this will lead to anything permanent or concrete, maybe it all demonstrates that there is some light at the end of a very far tunnel.
And then I read Tom Friedman's column this week in the New York Times, and I am now even more pessimistic than before. Entitled "Abbas's NATO Proposal," it turns on the idea that NATO will have to keep troops in the West Bank indefinitely in order to have the security arrangements for a peace deal fulfilled. In Abbas's words, NATO troops "can stay to reassure the Israelis, and to protect us. We will be demilitarized. … Do you think we have any illusion that we can have any security if the Israelis do not feel they have security?" Friedman argues that this is a suggestion worthy of consideration because it meets Israeli security needs and meets Palestinians needs to not have an Israeli military presence in the West Bank after an initial five year period, and presumably only NATO can bridge this gap.
It all sounds very nice, but the fact that Abbas is pushing it says to me that he is either fundamentally unserious or knows just how desperate the situation is, and neither of those possibilities is encouraging. None of the three constituencies involved in this scenario would ever actually accept the parameters as Friedman lays them out. Start with the Palestinians, for whom it would be a hard sell having some security force confined to the Jordan Valley, and then think about the idea of having foreign troops spread throughout an entire Palestinian state forever. It is one thing to have foreign troops confined to a very distinct area, as is the case with American troops in South Korea, and quite another to have them literally anywhere and everywhere. I find it hard to believe that Abbas speaks for his own constituency in opening up this possibility, let alone for groups like Hamas that don't accept his authority at all. The loss of sovereignty that comes with a demilitarized state is a hard enough obstacle to overcome, and throwing this additional factor on top blows the whole thing up. Troops for a finite number of years, or confined to a specific location, or with limited authority; these are all things that are potentially workable from the perspective of what the Palestinian side might reasonably accept. What Abbas suggests is not, plain and simple, and it makes me wonder whether he has any credibility left on his own side.
Next come the Israelis, who as Abbas relayed via Friedman do not want to have any third party overseeing their own security, and rightly so. UN troops based in Sinai literally cleared out of the way in 1967 when Nasser ordered them out in preparation for a strike against Israel (a strike that the Israelis preempted with the Six Day War), and the UN force in Lebanon hasn't exactly been effective at preventing Hizballah from shooting rockets across the border, abducting soldiers, or conducting sniper attacks. That Friedman brings these examples up as something that Israel has tolerated before is completely removed from the reality of what Israel will accept when it comes to territory right on Tel Aviv's doorstep. In both of these instances, foreign forces meant to in some measure safeguard Israeli security have been complete and unmitigated failures. Furthermore, Friedman is talking about NATO troops, and in case you haven't been paying attention, Israel and various European NATO countries aren't always on the best of terms. Israel is convinced that Europe is out to get it and that Europeans side with the Palestinians over the Israelis in every instance – convictions, by the way, that are not entirely unrooted in fact – and accepting American troops as guarantors of Israeli security would maybe, maybe eventually be ok with the Israelis. But NATO troops as the first line of defense against Palestinian rockets? I find it very hard to see an Israeli government that can be elected in the current climate ever acceding to that condition.
Finally comes NATO itself. Think about the reaction the vast majority of Americans have right now to sending U.S. troops to another location overseas in order to fight a war or safeguard vital American interests. Then think about the reaction people will have to sending U.S. troops to police a political and territorial dispute in which we are not involved in any way. Then realize that nearly every other NATO country is even more reticent than we are to put troops into harm's way, particularly when it will involve those troops being stationed in a Muslim-majority country. I could keep going, but it seems unnecessary at this point. No elected politician will be able to justify any type of real commitment to such an operation, and quite frankly, why would they even if they could get away with it politically? I care about Israeli-Palestinian peace as much as anyone, but this is not something that NATO countries will be eagerly signing up for, not to mention that it is well, well beyond NATO's mandate. Is Abbas or Friedman suggesting that a NATO country is at risk, necessitating placing NATO troops inside the West Bank? Or that NATO has somehow evolved into an organization that is willing to send its resources anywhere in the world for the sake of peace?
The bottom line is that if this proposal is what a peace agreement will hinge upon, you can forget seeing anything resembling a permanent agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians for decades. I hope Abbas has something else up his sleeve.
I know this sounds crazy but has anyone suggested zionism itself could be the price of peace? If Israel annexed the West Bank and Gaza while allowing the refugees to return surely it would end the conflict immediately. I imagine the Americans and Arabs could provide enough cash for everyone to be quite prosperous in this new, inclusive state.
If only it were that simple. However nationalism would not die with those borders. Another Yugoslavia or Lebanon seems the likely product there.
Do you think Abbas would accept no right of return for descendants?
Would Abbas accept Israel as a Jewish State?
I think he would accept limited right of return, and I imagine he will come around on Israel as Jewish state based on what has been leaked about the parameters of the framework agreement.
I miss your blogging! Please update us on Turkey soon!
Be nice to get your thoughts on what appeared to be a Turkey Israel rapprochement as indicated by Turkey's foreign minister and Erdogan's sudden turnabout.
I was planning on it today, but kids were home all day because of the snow and I am working on a longer non-blog piece. I'll get to it soon.

Flyer & Program
Despite having a successful career as a playwright before he became a children's author, A.A. Milne was remembered primarily as the creator of Winnie the Pooh until the Mint's incandescent revivals of MR. PIM PASSES BY and THE TRUTH ABOUT BLAYDS. The occasion marked their first New York productions in over 70 years.
With one cast performing both plays in rotating repertory, the Mint presented the neglected pieces under the banner MILNE AT THE MINT. Two endearing and surprisingly profound comedies about families whose charmed lives are threatened by dark secrets, the plays delighted theatergoers with their whimsy and moved them with their sincerity.
"Before there was Winnie-the-Pooh… there were Carraway Pim and Oliver Blayds," observed Wilborn Hampton in the New York Times. "Seeing MR. PIM and BLAYDS in repertory reveals Milne as an able craftsman with a droll sense of humor whose work maintains a valid theatrical vitality…These are the sort of plays by which Londoners tried to forget the horrors of World War I. In the Mint's smooth productions they can offer New Yorkers a couple of hours' diversion from today's headlines."1
1. TWO COMEDIES FROM MILNE, BEFORE HE DREAMED OF POOH THE NEW YORK TIMES
A.A. Milne (Playwright 1882-1956) published his first verses in Punch in 1904 at the age of 22. Before long he was a regular contributor to the famous English humor magazine and in 1906 he became the assistant editor, a position he held until 1918. During World War I Milne served in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment as a signals officer. He was posted to France briefly in 1916 and wrote propaganda for the Intelligence service. During his training period, he wrote his first play, Wurzel-Flummery, which was produced in London in 1917. With the encouragement of his friend James Barrie, Milne then applied himself to playwriting. His first real hit was Mr. Pim Passes By which premiered in London in 1920, around the same time of the birth of his son, Christopher Robin. All of the Winnie-the-Pooh verses were written during a four-year stretch that began in 1924. After that, to Milne's great dismay, he would never again achieve any lasting success as either playwright or novelist. He once wrote of the lovable menagerie that gave him his lasting fame, "I wanted to escape from them as I once wanted to escape from Punch as I have always wanted to escape. In vain…" Milne wrote numerous essays, novels, and even a successful detective story: The Red House Mystery. But for Milne, writing plays was, "the most exciting form of writing…." The Dover Road, The Truth about Blayds, The Great Broxopp, Success, The Fourth Wall — or The Perfect Alibi, Michael and Mary, Portrait of a Gentleman in Slippers and Other People's Lives are among the more than 25 plays he penned.

Loot Crate's 'Loot For Her' Line Shines a Light on Talented Women With Bob's Burgers Leggings
Jill Pantozzi | July 28th, 2017
There's a special new Loot Wear collection from Loot Crate! "Loot for Her" is showcasing the work of independent female artists with "For Her, By Her!" And the first theme is Bob's Burgers.
Loot Crate's July theme was "Animation" and among other fun items it included something from Fox's animated series Bob's Burger. But they went one step further with their Loot Wear this month and produced not one, not two, but THREE Bob's Burgers leggings. (Oh, and check out the burger recipe they posted too!)
Starting in the month of July, Loot Wear has teamed up with female artists throughout geekdom to design and curate for our Loot for Her line. We're calling this program "For Her, By Her"! Each month we'll bring you a one on one with each artist we collaborated with, making unique apparel designed by talented women in the field.
The Bob's Burgers leggings focused on the women in the family of course and I got a chance to check them out. [Editor's Note: I was sent these items free to review.]
Bamboota (aka Crystal Fontan) worked on my favorite Belcher gal, Louise. (Click on a picture, then click once more to view larger)
Loot Crate did interviews with the artists and Bamboota said of Louise, "She's a tough chick with attitude… like me!"
Alex Strangler did the Tina leggings…
Strangler said, "What I like most about Tina is she reminds me a lot of myself! She's weird, anxious, terrible at making decisions (ughhhhhhhh) and she loves BUTTS!"
Jen Bartel created the Linda look…
…and had this to say about her, "Linda is actually my favorite Bob's Burgers character because she's hysterical but also kind of no-nonsense. She's sincere to a fault, and I just love characters that aren't afraid to be honest with themselves."
Here's some more info about the artists:
Jen Bartel is an illustrator and comic book cover artist whose vibrant, powerful imagery celebrates beauty and inherent strength of femininity. Her self-described "Evil Lisa Frank" aesthetic can be seen gracing the cover of the ongoing IDW series 'Jem and the Holograms' as well as several other titles. Her biggest creative goal is to breathe life into characters that inspire and empower girls from all backgrounds.
Alex Strangler is a tattoo artist in California, whose stylish, candy-colorful pop-based iconography distills a character to her core, telling their story in a single image. Her incredible art has earned a massive following on social media who represent her as a living gallery of her work; she's even tattooed more than one member of the Loot Crate team!
Bamboota (aka Crystal Fontan) is a graphic designer at LEGO with a long history in apparel, having popularized design memes such as the cereal mash-up. Her clean, cartoony style and quirky humor evokes a childlike mischief conjured by a steady diet of Saturday morning cartoons and sugary cereal. Her work can be seen in pop galleries and was featured at Star Wars Celebration 2016.
The Bob's Burgers leggings were part of the Loot Wear July subscription box but there will be more designs in upcoming months featuring more artists! I'm wearing the Large size in these photos and they're super comfortable. (Also, that red Dungeons & Dragons shirt is from a past Loot Crate!)
