I suspect that if I had obeyed all the KEEP OUT and NO TRESPASSING signs I have encountered in my decades of image making, my portfolio would be much less sizeable (at least with respect to architectural images in particular). I have been on a Kodak Tri-X Pan 400 shooting jag of late, and ex-post-facto, have come to a conclusion about its fit in my work. I like the smooth gradation from whites to blacks when shooting portraits , still life, and architectural detail. For landscape and all other uses, I prefer Ilford FP4+ as my mainstay. I trialed Fomapan 100 for about ten rolls, and came to the conclusion that it has serious quality control issues and much too thin a film base (means for curling when drying, as well as an easy to scratch emulsion). In the future, I am going to be experimenting with Rollei RPX-25, a very slow speed film, similar to what Agfa Pan 25 was when it was in production some years back. I will try it exclusively on winter rivers, where the slow film speed will get me the blurred water I seek with long exposures. If it works out well in either Rodinal or HC-110, I will also try it in 4x5 for very long exposures at much smaller apertures than medium format. This was one of the things I sorrowfully missed during my temporary diversion into the digital world…..the ability to experiment with various film and developer combinations for the simple joy of seeing different results and refining my approach. Over the years, Ilford HP5+ and FP4+ have remained my base films for when I want very predictable outcomes and cannot afford an error.
Have a safe and joyous Thanksgiving….
"Your memory feels like home to me.

External debt and monetary policy autonomy
Jonathan Scott Davis
During a time of rising world interest rates, the central bank of a small open economy may be motivated to increase its own interest rate to keep from suffering a destabilizing outflow of capital and depreciation in the exchange rate. Empirically, this paper shows that this is especially true for a small open economy with a current account deficit, which relies on foreign capital inflows to finance this deficit. In addition, the method of current account financing has a large effect on whether or not the central bank will opt for exchange rate and capital flow stabilization during a time of rising world interest rates. A current account deficit financed mainly through reserve depletion or the accumulation of private sector debt will cause the central bank to pursue de facto exchange rate stabilization, whereas a current account deficit financed through equity or FDI will not. Quantitatively, reserve depletion of about 7% of GDP will motivate the central bank with a floating currency to adjust its interest rate in line with the foreign interest rate to where it appears that the central bank has an exchange rate peg. ****** Durante un periodo de tasas de interés mundiales al alza, el banco central de una economía abierta pequeña podría verse motivado a aumentar su tasa de interés para evitar sufrir una salida de capital desestabilizadora y una depreciación de la tasa de cambio. El presente artículo muestra de manera empírica que esto es especialmente cierto para una economía abierta pequeña con un déficit en cuenta corriente, la cual depende de la entrada de capital extranjero para financiar su déficit. Asimismo, el método de financiación de cuenta corriente tiene un efecto importante sobre si el banco central optará o no por la estabilización de la tasa del cambio y flujo de capital durante un periodo de alza de tasa de interés mundial. Un déficit de cuenta corriente financiado fundamentalmente con el agotamiento de la reserva o la acumulación de deuda procedente del sector privado ocasionará que el banco central busque de facto la estabilización de la tasa de cambio, mientras que un déficit de cuenta corriente que se financie mediante la venta de acciones o inversión extranjera directa no lo hará. Desde el punto de vista cuantitativo, un agotamiento de la reserva de un 7% del PIB motivará que el banco central con moneda flotante ajuste su tasa de interés en línea con la tasa de interés extranjera con la que parezca que el banco central tiene fijado un tipo de cambio.

To explore the expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and mRNAs in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in order to construct an oesophageal cancer-specific competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network.
In this work, the expression data of miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs in ESCC were obtained. An oesophageal cancer-specific ceRNA network was then constructed and investigated.
CeRNAs have the ability to reduce the targeting activity of miRNAs, leading to the de-repression of specific mRNAs with common miRNA response elements. CeRNA interactions have a critical effect in gene regulation and cancer development.
This study suggests a novel perspective on potential oesophageal cancer mechanisms as well as novel pathways for modulating ceRNA networks for treating cancers.
Core tip: Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) may play a critical role in tumourigenesis, and perturbations to ceRNA networks would result in the progression of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the role of ceRNAs in ESCC has not been comprehensively explored. This study was designed to investigate the expression profiles of microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and mRNAs in ESCC to elucidate an oesophageal cancer-specific ceRNA network. Our report reveals potential molecular mechanisms of oesophageal cancer progression and suggests a novel approach to cancer therapeutics in the regulation of ceRNA networks.
Oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the sixth leading death reason of cancer. According to the official statistics in America, more than 18000 cases were newly diagnosed with 15000 deaths from oesophageal cancer in 2014, representing 5% of all cancer deaths. Recently, the incidence and mortality rate of ESCC have decreased in North America and Europe. However, ESCC has a significant ethnic and geographic distribution and it has been highly prevalent in China and other Asia countries. The presence of familial aggregation suggests that the risk factors for ESCC include environmental and genetic factors. When ESCC is diagnosed, most patients have already progressed to be advanced or metastatic. Thus, as there is no longer an opportunity for radical surgery, radiation and chemotherapy become the major palliative treatments.
Tumourigenesis and cancer development have been closely associated with the aberrant expression of protein coding mRNAs and non-coding RNAs. Approximately 98% of the human genome are non-coding RNAs, suggesting their promising effects on physiological and pathological processes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) suppress the translation and induces the degradation of mRNA, thus modulating gene expression and function. MiRNAs have been proved to have critical effects in tumourigenesis, and the role of miRNAs has been relatively well understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are newly found non-coding RNAs which were proved to participate in many diseases. However, the functional role of the large number of lncRNAs in ESCC remains unclear.
Many studies have confirmed that competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) are able to act as sponges for miRNAs. The activity of miRNAs could be modulated with the variation of ceRNA abundance from individual genes. Interactions between ceRNAs through sharing miRNAs indicate a new pathway of gene regulation, which has key effects in the cancer progression[12-14]. CeRNAs act as molecular sponges of miRNAs through binding with miRNAs (also known as miRNA response elements, MRE), thus inhibiting miRNA targeted genes. The discovery of ceRNAs requires reassessing our understanding of gene regulatory networks and raising the probability of proposing a new molecular mechanism. Both of them may be the potential targets for gene treatment[16-18].
Lately, complex and multidimensional molecular maps of large cancer crowd were uncovered by research alliance such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). With these information, a synthetic analysis could be performed on the association between molecular alterations and certain cancer type[19-21]. Many ceRNAs were revealed in various cancer types. Until now, few studies have been performed on clarifying the association among lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in ESCC. Therefore, in this study, a ceRNA network in ESCC was constructed, which may help to elucidate the specific biological mechanisms of ESCC progression.
The expression data of miRNAs and mRNAs in 101 oesophageal cancer patients were collected from the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus (NCBI) with login numbers of GSE45670 (38 patients, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc =GSE45670), GSE26886 (28 patients, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.Gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc =GSE26886), GSE17351 (10 samples, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc =GSE17351), GSE55856 (216 patients, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc =GSE55856), and GSE66274 (60 patients, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.Gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc =GSE66274). Various miRNA targets and oesophageal cancer data sets were also applied for assessing the reliability of this approach, aimed to construct a ceRNA network. Under these circumstances, we also implanted the expression profiles of 170 matched miRNAs and mRNAs in oesophageal cancer patients from TCGA. Annotation information of lncRNAs was obtained with Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. The network of protein-protein interactions was constructed using STRING database system.
DAVID (Databases for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery) was included to determine the pathways of KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) and Gene Ontology (GO) Term biological processes were enriched with central genes recommunities in the ceRNA network. P values < 0.05 indicated enriched gene sets.
The miRNA-lncRNA-mRNA interaction network was visualised with Cytoscape Software, and topology analysis was performed with network analyser plugin. MCODE plugin was also applied (with its default parameters) to figure out the communities (dense clusters) in the network.
The single-stranded miRNAs would bind the mRNA transcripts, thus the post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA has been set up according to the relationships among miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs[29,30]. First, the miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs which were differentially expressed between ESCC specimens and corresponding normal tissues were chosen. The differential expression of miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs was identified with standard selection criteria, which were set at P < 0.05 and fold change > 2. In addition, the co-expression network of miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs was constructed according to the connections among the differentially expressed miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs.
Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. Student's t-test and analysis of variance were applied in the statistical analysis for comparing results of two groups and multiple groups, respectively. The fold change and Student's t-test were applied to analyse the significance of microarray analysis. P < 0.05 indicated a statistically significant difference. P value was corrected with false discovery rate. The differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs are expressed as fold change values (P < 0.05).
We used unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis in this study. Cases were organized by clustering analysis on the basis of immunostaining profiles, and cases were placed together with similar immune profiles as neighbouring rows in a clustergram. The dendrogram was applied to demonstrate the relationship among cases and immune markers. The branch length of dendrogram indicated the correlations in immunostaining results. The unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis demonstrated the correlation of expression maps between biological replicates and group conditions (Figure 1A-C).
Figure 1 Cluster analysis of differentially expressed profiles. A: mRNAs; B: lncRNAs; and C: miRNAs in tumour tissues vs adjacent non-tumour tissues. The result of hierarchical cluster analysis shows distinguishable expression profiles between samples. The rows show differentially expressed miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs, while the columns show three paired samples. Red represents high expression and green represents low expression.
The inter-connected complexity of physiological, cellular, and molecular functions has increasingly grown, thus novel approaches are required to simultaneously demonstrate multiple datasets. There are multiple intersecting regions (generally as circles) in Venn diagram, which enables the description of all logical relations among various data sets. Here, we selected 21 miRNAs from GSE66274 and GSE55856; 228 mRNAs from GSE26886, GSE17351, and GSE45670; and 31 lncRNAs from GSE26886, GSE17351, and GSE45670 (Figure 2A-C).

In the GO database, there are structured, controlled vocabularies and classifications covering several molecular and cellular biology domains. GO has been applied for the annotation of genes and sequences.
The 228 genes with differential expression were analysed with the GO database. The enrichment of these genes was analysed in specific pathways. Enrichment analysis is used to evaluate the significance of the function, which helps provide GO terms with a more definitive function demonstration. As shown in Table 1, the most highly enriched GO path was 'extracellular matrix organization'. The genes in 'extracellular matrix organization' path were MMP3, MMP10, LAMA3, MMP9, MMP13, COL11A1, BMP7, MMP12, LAMC2, COL27A1, ITGB4, PDGFRA, ADAMTS2, IBSP, COL10A1, COL7A1, MMP11, MFAP2, MMP1, and COL1A1. The second most highly enriched GO path was 'collagen catabolic process' (Figure 3).

Figure 3 Top 23 GO enrichment terms for differentially expressed intersection mRNAs. GO analysis of the common differentially expressed mRNAs was performed.
KEGG systematically interprets sequence data by computerizing biochemical pathways and other types of molecular interactions[36-38]. The results showed that the most highly enriched pathway was 'transcriptional misregulation in cancer' (Table 2). The genes in 'transcriptional misregulation in cancer' pathway were TCF3, CXCL8, SIX1, IGFBP3, MLF1, PLAU, MEIS1, HOXA10, MMP9, SIX4, HPGD, and MMP3. The second most highly enriched pathway was 'ECM-receptor interaction' (Figure 4). The genes in 'ECM-receptor interaction' pathway were ITGB4, COL1A1, COL11A1, ITGA3, LAMC2, SPP1, LAMB3, and IBSP.

Protein-protein interactions have been not only direct binding, but also indirect actions. Genomic associations between protein-coding genes are provided for interring functional links between proteins. Genes that have the same function are often located in close to each other and tend to participate in gene-fusion events[40-42]. The database STRING has been used to analyse these associations. We input the shared differential mRNAs from GSE45670, GSE26886, and GSE17351 into the STRING database. Several nodes with high degrees were COL27A1, COL7A1, COL1A1, ITGB4, ITGA3, SERPINE1, MMP1, MMP9, and MMP10 (Figure 5).
Figure 5 Protein regulation network analysis. The protein-protein interaction networks were constructed by Cytoscape Software. Proteins are represented with colour nodes, and interactions are represented with edges.
CeRNAs share common MRE and hence regulate RNA transcripts by competitively binding with general miRNA molecules. CeRNAs could be relieved from miRNA-mediated repression and their expression levels could be positively modulated. The discovery of ceRNAs provides many implications for cancer, which have already been extensively discussed.
Based on the expression profiles of specific miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs in patients with oesophageal cancer, a ceRNA network was constructed using a computational method proposed for this study (Figure 6) and it was drawn with Cytoscape 3.0. The ceRNA network has integrated the miRNA-lncRNA-mRNA interactions by negative regulation.
Figure 6 The lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network. The rectangles indicate miRNAs and circles represent mRNAs. The red indicates up-regulation and green indicates down-regulation.
There are 74 nodes in the oesophageal cancer-specific ceRNA network. The degrees of the hsa-miR-93-5p, hsa-miR-34c-5p, and hsa-miR-18a-3p nodes were 14, 12, and 11, respectively. The density of our ceRNA network was confirmed with the high degree of nodes, suggesting common competitions among RNAs for oesophageal cancer. The modes degree was also observed to follow power law distribution. For miRNAs, the expression of hsa-miR-196b-5p, has-miR-34c-5p, and has-miR-18a-3p were up-regulated. However, the expression levels were down-regulated for has-miR-30a-3p, has-miR-150-5p, and has-miR-133a-3p. All these analysis results suggest the scale-free ceRNA network in oesophageal cancer and the biological significance may be reflected by the topological structures including the hubs, nodes, and communities.
To further identify the key mRNAs that were associated with prognostic characteristics in 170 ESCC patients, the overall survival was profiled with the univariate Cox proportional hazards regression model (P < 0.05). Among the six significant mRNAs, the overall survival was negatively related to five mRNA transcripts (STC2, SLC6A1, MMP12, EPCAM, and EPB411L4B) (P < 0.05) while positively associated with the remaining mRNA transcript (LAMC2) (P < 0.05) (Figure 7A-F).
Figure 7 Kaplan-Meier survival curves for eight mRNAs associated with overall survival. Log-rank tests were performed to evaluate the survival differences between the two curves. Horizontal axis: Overall survival time, days; Vertical axis: Survival function.
It is necessary to explore ceRNA cross-talk across multiple cancer types. TCGA was formed to meet these needs and its vast data sets provide us with an unprecedented opportunity to systematically analyse the ceRNA network in cancer. These interesting findings led us to construct an oesophageal cancer-specific ceRNA network.
In this work, clustering analysis, mRNA GO analysis, mRNA pathway analysis, and protein regulation network analysis in ESCC were conducted to construct the ceRNA network. The results showed that the most highly enriched GO path was 'extracellular matrix organization'. The genes in 'extracellular matrix organization' path were MMP3, MMP10, LAMA3, MMP9, MMP13, COL11A1, BMP7, MMP12, LAMC2, COL27A1, ITGB4, PDGFRA, ADAMTS2, IBSP, COL10A1, COL7A1, MMP11, MFAP2, MMP1, and COL1A1. Advances in structural genomics will make it possible to reveal the complete genome sequence of hundreds of organisms. The ceRNA network analysis indicated that the degree of has-miR-93-5p as an up-regulated gene was 14. All these results are relevant to the further development of treatments for oesophageal cancer.
Based on Kaplan-Meier analysis, overall survival was negatively related to five mRNA transcripts (STC2, SLC6A1, MMP12, EPCAM, and EPB41L4B) (P < 0.05) and it was positively associated with the remaining mRNA transcript (LAMC2) (P < 0.05). These mRNAs could be candidate and specific biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis, and classification of ESCC.
In this research, a computational approach has been proposed for the construction of ceRNA network based on existing data of esophageal cancer. In this network, the junction nodes indicate paired gene pair in competing mRNA library. We observed that the ESCC-specific ceRNA network is scale-free, and the dense clusters in the network are associated with promising markers. The results of mRNA pathway analysis showed that the most highly enriched pathway was transcriptional misregulation in cancer. In addition, overall survival was negatively related to the genes STC2, SLC6A1, MMP12, EPCAM, and EPB41L4B, while it was positively associated with LAMC2. These confirmed results suggested that the biological mechanism of ESCC could be discovered with the constructed ceRNA network. Importantly, a simple framework has been provided in our work for the construction of a ceRNA network, which can be used to a variety of biological issues, such as ESCC and its biological processes. In short, cancer-specific miRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs in ESCC can be successfully identified in the present study by bioinformatics analysis from large scale samples. Moreover, understanding the ceRNA network in ESCC may reveal potential intended targets for cancer sub-populations or across cancers. This work suggests new approaches for studying the role and mechanism of ceRNAs in human cancers using publicly available genomic data.

Meet The Proud Creator Of The Worst Game On Steam
On Steam, Bad Rats is infamous. It's a janky physics puzzle game that people gift to their enemies. Earning all of its achievements is considered a masochistic badge of honour. It's the butt of joke after joke. And yet, seven years after the release of the original, it just got a sequel.
I've always wondered, though: is the game's developer, Invent4 Entertainment, in on the joke? Despite a slight language barrier, Invent4's Augusto Bulow told me, essentially, yes.
"I'm completely OK with the game situation," he said via email. "I feel happy with all the people that loves (and hates) Bad Rats series."
"The original Bad Rats was a game planned to be funny," he added. "If people are laughing while playing the game, that's fine. The game reached its objectives."
Then he said a bunch of stuff about his aunt and dinosaurs and, well, I'll just let you read it.
"My aunt after playing asked me, 'Why such violence? Why kill cats?'" he said. "And the answer is simple: cause they are rats. As the human being exterminated the dinosaurs, because they were putting our lives in risk, the rats, in this hypothetical parallel universe are exterminating their predators as well."
It's widely believed that dinosaurs and humans did not inhabit Earth at the same time, nor did they engage in a war for the planet's future. But maybe Bulow was joking? I am pretty sure he was joking.
Over the years, the original Bad Rats ascended to the lofty heights of meme-hood. While Bad Rats has been knit into a faintly vomit-scented portion of Steam's shag carpet fibre since 2009, Bulow says it actually only really took off a few years ago.
"I like all memes and all comments," he said. "Actually I think it took [a long time] for the game to be perceived. Seven years ago, when it was released, I was expecting more [of a reaction]. It was one of the most violent and offensive video games released [in the] past decade. And it's one of the funniest games too. It's a paradox, and with this paradox the Bad Rats game grown up."
"But actually, the game started to be really discovered when some big YouTubers published some infamous reviews about the game a few years ago," he explained. "They said bad things about the game, but 5% of their audience perceived it different, bought Bad Rats, and entered in love with the game."
One of my favourite things about the original Bad Rats' cult of personality is the way it emerged from a different era of Steam. It's not actually that terrible of a game (which is not to say it's good, either...), but it somehow managed to get precious virtual shelf space back when Valve heavily curated Steam's selection. It was this strange, curious little thing that felt like it escaped from the late-'90s in gameplay style and humorous sensibility. It was a rickety, ragged, raw outlier.
These days, Steam is different. It's a machine, largely automated but running on user-driven systems. Thanks to programs like Greenlight and Early Access, less-than-stellar games abound, as do ones that are weird, retro, and poorly translated. Bad Rats doesn't really have a claim to fame these days beyond, well, being Bad Rats.
Bulow isn't sure the sequel will be capable of similar infamy, but he's not too worried. Whatever happens, happens, basically.
"Bad Rats [came before] the Greenlight era," he explained. "We never asked a community to vote in our game, we never paid for votes or whatsoever (what some will say, can be common nowadays). We entered by the front door. We submitted our game, and got Bad Rats approved by the Steam staff."
He added that, to his knowledge, the Valve employee who approved Bad Rats has not been fired.
"Perhaps Bad Rats is some kind of miracle," he said in response to a question about the current era of Steam. "How does such a low budget game sometimes have more active players than other big productions? This kind of questions I leave to you journalists to answer. The fact is, a game can't just sustain good sales seven years after its release. Or the people are crazy, or the game is good. Anyone can have it own judgement, and we respect all opinions here."

Rent a Dumpster in 87506 Now!
Simply give us a call and we will answer any questions you may have about the 87506 dumpster rental procedure, allowed materials, size you may need, etc.
Our roll off containers can usually be delivered in 87506 the day after you place your order. Make sure to call us early to ensure timely delivery.
Building Dumpster Rental in 87506 - Do You Want One?
Although local governments often provide waste disposal services, not many of them will haul away building debris. That makes it important for individuals to rent dumpsters for them to dispose of waste during construction projects.
The most typical exception to this rule is when you have a truck that's big enough to transport all building debris to a landfill or landfill drop off point. If you are working on a little bathroom remodeling project, for example, you might find that you could fit all of the debris in a truck bed.
Other than very small projects, it is strongly recommended that you rent a dumpster in 87506 for building projects.
If you're not certain whether your municipality accepts building debris, contact the city for more info. You'll probably find you will have to rent a dumpster in 87506. Placing debris out for garbage removal could possibly result in fines.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in 87506 will make your job easier and safer to end on time. When renting a dumpster in 87506, follow these hints to help you plan ahead.
5. Find out what services you get with your dumpster rental in 87506.
Front -load and roll off dumpsters have distinct designs that make them useful in various ways. Knowing more about them will enable you to select an option that's right for your endeavor.
Front-load dumpsters have mechanical arms that could lift heavy items. This is a handy alternative for projects that contain lots of heavy things like appliances and concrete. In addition , they are good for emptying commercial dumpsters like the kind restaurants use.
Rolloff dumpsters are normally the right alternative for commercial and residential projects like repairing a roof, remodeling a cellar, or adding a room to your home. They've doors that swing open, allowing you to walk into the dumpster. They also have open tops that let you throw debris into the container. Rental firms will commonly leave a roll off dumpster at your endeavor location for a number of days or weeks. This is a handy alternative for both little and big projects.
When you rent a short-term dumpster, your goal is to fill it up and have the waste hauled away. But should you prefer your waste recycled, you might need to really go about it in a slightly different manner. Waste in the majority of temporary dumpsters isn't recycled as the containers are so large and hold so much material.
If you are interested in recycling any waste from your job, check into getting smaller containers. Many dumpster rental businesses in 87506 have a broad variety of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are typically smaller than temporary dumpsters; they're the size of regular trash bins and smaller.
In case you need to recycle, find out if the business you are working with uses single stream recycling (you usually do not need to sort the material) or if you will need to organize the recyclable material into distinct containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This is going to really make a difference in the variety of containers you should rent.
Determining where to put your dumpster can get a big impact on how fast you finish endeavors. The most efficient alternative is to pick a place that's near the worksite. It is very important, nevertheless, to contemplate whether this place is a safe option. Make sure that the area is free of obstacles that could trip people while they take heavy debris.
Lots of people decide to place dumpsters in their driveways. This is really a handy option since it usually means you can avoid asking the city for a license or permit. If you need to place the dumpster on the street, then you definitely should get in touch with your local government to ask whether you have to get a license. Although many municipalities will let folks keep dumpsters on the road for short amounts of time, others will request that you fill out some paperwork. Following these rules can help you stay away from fines which will make your job more costly.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in 87506?
Residential clean outs generally don't need big dumpsters. The size that you need, however, will depend on the size of the undertaking.
When picking a dumpster, though, it is frequently advisable to ask for a size bigger than what you think you will need. Unless you are a professional, it is tough to estimate the exact size needed for your project. By getting a somewhat bigger size, you spend a bit more cash, but you also avoid the possibility that you will run out of room. Renting a bigger dumpster is nearly always cheaper than renting two small ones.
Cheapest Dumpster Rental in 87506 - Is It Worth It?
Clearly you need to spend as little money as possible when renting a dumpster in 87506. Sometimes, though, the most inexpensive dumpster rental in 87506 alternative isn't worth it. Actually, it might wind up costing you more in the long term.
Taking the cheapest choice could mean that you simply get a dumpster that is too little for your endeavor. After you fill up the dumpster, you will have to cover another to complete your job. It is usually more affordable to get a larger size and prevent the hassle.
The most economical dumpster rental companies in 87506 might not include things like drop off and pick up fees. Ensure your quotes include all extra fees. That way, you can compare costs precisely to get the very best deal. Customer support is another important factor. More than a few companies keep costs low by cutting corners on service. The last thing you would like is to waste time looking forward to a truck to arrive by means of your dumpster.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster can get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions are not perfectly conventional from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the largest size that a lot of dumpster businesses generally rent, therefore it's perfect for large residential projects in addition to for commercial and industrial use.
You can fill your dumpster as high as you like, provided that you really do not load it higher than the sides of the container. Over-filling the dumpster could cause the waste or debris to slide off as the dumpster is loaded onto the truck or as the truck is driving. Overloaded or overweight dumpsters are just not safe, and businesses don't take dangerous loads in order to safeguard drivers and passengers on the road.
In some regions, dumpster loads must be tarped for security. If your load is too high, it will not be able to be tarped so you'll need to remove some of the debris before it can be hauled away. This may lead to additional charges if it needs you to keep the dumpster for a longer duration of time. Remember to maintain your load no higher than the sides of the dumpster, and you will be good.

Pragmatic leadership essential in the fight against Covid-19 in Africa
"When religion is used for political purposes, it empties religion of its eternal meaning and becomes just one more cynical method of acquiring power".
In 1985, reformist Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, advised then Zimbabwean prime minister Robert Mugabe, on the importance of fact based decision making that is not clouded by blind belief — philosophical or otherwise. According to Zhang Weiwei, Deng's interpreter; Mugabe — a belligerent communist to boot- had chided Deng — a reformist communist leader — for pursuing 'capitalist' policies. It is said that an irritated Deng started off by urging Mugabe to pay attention to China's unsuccessful experiences of the past.
Knowing how leftist Mugabe was, Deng is said to have "spent a considerable amount of time recounting the lessons China had learnt from being 'left'". Then came the bombshell! An astounded and unbelieving Mugabe was told that China had learnt from being leftist and had been punished for the mistakes of such an approach. Realities on the ground and not ideological beliefs should drive leadership decisions he insisted — the principle of seeking truth from facts.
In Malawi the fight against covid-19 seems to be getting 'entangled' with politics and religion in a way that calls on Malawians to seek truth from the facts of the pandemic. Since taking office, the new Malawi president's immediate steps in dealing with the unfolding covid-19 crisis in the country have included constituting a new national covid-19 task force to lead the fight against the virus.
In a positive first in at least a decade, the task force membership is fairly inclusive with opposition party leadership even included. Surprisingly especially given the country's strong deference to religion and religious guidance, religious leaders are not represented on the task force.
The gravity of this omission did not take long to start manifesting itself. On Wednesday 15 July the state president called on the nation to join him in national prayers and three days of fasting to ask for God's help in defeating the virus. At least two facts arise from global experience that Malawians must collectively seek truth from this call.
The first has to do with the exercise of religious power by politicians. Because of the potency and tendency of power and its deployment, democratic societies have invested inordinate amounts of time delineating the breadth and limits of executive power. Over the last centuries one of the lessons learned globally is the need to separate the state with religion in democracies.
Lankford and Moore, the former a US senator and the latter a church leader offer the following reason on why this is important; "When religion is used for political purposes, it empties religion of its eternal meaning and becomes just one more cynical method of acquiring power". From this, it seems reasonable that the intent is not to diminish the role of religion in democratic societies, but to rather ensure that religious authority is acquired, exercised and deployed by the appropriate institutions and their leaders.
The second issue relates to emerging evidence on covid-19 and its tendency to capitalize on compromised immunity. On the same day president Chakwera called for 3 days of fasting, experts on the disease where warning people to ensure they don't compromise their immune systems. One main way to do this is to ensure the correct nutrition they urged.
Applying this to the Malawi context, could it be that while the fact is that Malawi is a God-fearing country, the truth is religious power must be exercised by religious and not political leaders?
The question is certainly not moot. This is especially when one considers that in 2018 only 2 out of every 10 Malawians stated that they trusted political leaders a lot. Contrast this with the fact that 7 out 10 Malawians said they trusted religious leaders a lot. It is almost inevitable to conclude that their omission in the task force was an opportunity missed to have the people that Malawians trust most work together with technical health and socioeconomic experts to drive behavior change.
Similarly, could it be that while its factual that fasting has its spiritual and health benefits, the truth of Covid-19 is that fasting only compromises the immune system offering it a gateway to terrorize?
This is not to suggest that the president should not have led the call for prayers. Rather, the clear prominence of religion and disparity in trust levels between politicians and religious leaders suggests that the president may have done well to, at the minimum, start off by including representatives of religious leaders in the national task force.
This arguably would have facilitated a conduit between religions and experts, in turn ensuring that the populace is best advised on how to ensure there is a balance between exercising religious beliefs and not compromising health. In all this, the president would still preserve his superintending role.
As Robert Mugabe left his meeting with Deng Xiaoping, his host, realizing how unconvinced Mugabe was by his advice, told his interpreter that unfortunately Mugabe seems to be one of those that defies facts in preference of beliefs.
Coming back to Malawi, ultimately a decision must be made, and a path traveled with all its attendant consequences. And while the president may argue he is also a theologian; it is worth remembering that the role Malawians elected him for was to be the commander in chief and state president as per the constitution of the Republic. In democracies presidents are unfortunately allowed to have that single role regardless of whatever other expertise they have.
Fortunately, modern democracies always insist on inclusiveness. This allows the president to defer religious leadership to the appropriate institutions and for these to work together with the relevant experts. Hopefully, the country will be able to see the wood from the trees and make a decision that is based on realities. Failure to seek truth from facts like Mugabe did 35 years ago is evident in the state that Zimbabwe is in today.
Experiences in countries such as New Zealand and Egypt and Rwanda on the African continent, among the many examples, attest to the real power of seeking the truth from facts and implementing practical policies. On the contrary, countries that have resisted facts and the new normal they demand are paying dearly.

@sczensy, let your training be driven by the study guide...it will help you identify the contents of the exam. Use rhce vce files provided on the website. In my case, they helped during revision.
i always had a dream of passing rhce certification exam and now i have achieved. have passion in whatever you are doing and all will be easy for you.
which is the appropriate way to utilize rhce training materials.
what a bad luck to me! i used rhce questions and answers during my preparation only to find merely 5 questions in exam that didn't help me pass.
who has used rhce practice test to confirm whether they are 100%valid.
i have passed rhce exam with flying colors. thanks to the colleagues who tirelessly share the best materials here.
suppose you have any materials that can help the comrades preparing for the exam, lets share it here, be it rhce dumps or any material you have used and found out to be valid.
hey colleagues? give me a clear understanding of main concepts resented in rhce training. they are the solution to many questions that are available in the actual exam. realized this morning when doing one.
Red Hat offers different levels of certifications. One such certification is Red Hat certification RHCE. Once the candidates become certified, they become a Red Hat® Certified Engineer (RHCE). This shows that the person has already obtained a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) credential. The certification validates the skills and knowledge of the candidates in Red Hat Enterprise Linux® systems, static routes configuration, system logging, Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) configuration, packet filtering, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) system maintenance, system utilization, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and network address translation.
Who can opt for Red Hat certifications (RHCE) Exam?
Anyone who is interested in applying Red Hat Enterprise Linux® systems and wants to pursue higher level certification with respect to RHCSA, can choose Red Hat certification RHCE (EX300). The candidates could be highly experienced Senior Linux System Administrators, students having training in System Administration I, II, and III, or someone who is willing to get a validation to show that he or she has skills in providing networking services.
What is Red Hat certification (RHCE) Exam Pattern?
In order to become Red Hat certification (RHCE) certified, the candidates must pass Red Hat Certified Systems Administrator exam first to be RHCSA certified. It means RHCE certificate will not be granted to a candidate until and unless he or she passes RHCSA exam (EX200). Only after having completed EX200 exam one is allowed to sit for EX300 exam. Red Hat certification exam (EX300) includes 10 and 15 hands-on assignments just like EX200. Nevertheless, the level of both the exams varies, as EX300 exam assignments deal with the questions related to Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers on which administrators work daily, whereas EX200 exam tests the basics of administration system, such as deployment scenarios. The duration of the exam is of 210 minutes and the passing score of Red Hat certification (RHCE) EX300 exam is 210.
Why Choose Red Hat certifications (RHCE)?
Red Hat certifications are quite popular these days. IT professionals may seek good jobs after becoming RHCE EX300 certified. This is a globally recognized certification and is designed in such a way that the candidates get an opportunity to prove their worth in the mainstream IT industry. Anyone who is willing to opt for RHCSA EX200 may also choose RHCE certification afterwards as it's higher in level and in career opportunities. This means that RHCE certified professionals can receive better remuneration from any IT company.

Q: Hibernate Many-To-One Relationship without Primary Key or Join Table Problem
I would like to start by saying that I realize the database structure is atrocious, but I cannot change it at this point in time.
That being said, I have the need to create a one-to-many, bi-directional relationship in Hibernate (4.2.1) which involves no primary keys (only a unique key on the "parent" side of the relationship) and no join tables.  The foreign key representing this relationship is a backpointer from the "child" to the "parent" (see below).  I have searched and tried various different annotation configurations with no luck.  Is what I'm asking for possible?
Database
GLOBAL_PART
CREATE TABLE "GLOBAL_PART" (
    "GLOBAL_PART_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL,
    "RELEASES" NUMBER,
    CONSTRAINT "GLOBAL_PART_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("GLOBAL_PART_ID"),
    CONSTRAINT "GLOBAL_PART_RELEASES_UK" UNIQUE ("RELEASES")
);

PART_RELEASE
CREATE TABLE "PART_RELEASE" (
    "PART_RELEASE_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL,
    "COLLECTION_ID" NUMBER,
    CONSTRAINT "PART_RELEASE_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("PART_RELEASE_ID"),
    CONSTRAINT "GLOBAL_PART_RELEASE_FK" FOREIGN KEY ("COLLECTION_ID")
        REFERENCES "GLOBAL_PART" ("RELEASES") ON DELETE CASCADE ENABLE
);

Reference:
PART_RELEASE                 GLOBAL_PART
-------------------          ------------
PART_RELEASE_ID (PK)         GLOBAL_PART_ID (PK)
COLLECTION_ID -------------> RELEASES (UK)

Java
GlobalPart.java
@Entity
@Table(name = "GLOBAL_PART")

        return globalPartId;
    }

    public void setGlobalPartId(Long globalPartId) {
        this.globalPartId = globalPartId;
    }

    public Set<PartRelease> getReleases() {
        return releases;
    }

    public void setReleases(Set<PartRelease> releases) {
        this.releases = releases;
    }

}

    private String partReleaseId;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "RELEASES")
    private GlobalPart globalPart;

    public String getPartReleaseId() {
        return partReleaseId;
    }

    public void setPartReleaseId(String partReleaseId) {
        this.partReleaseId = partReleaseId;
    }

    public GlobalPart getGlobalPart() {
        return globalPart;
    }

    public void setGlobalPart(GlobalPart globalPart) {
        this.globalPart = globalPart;
    }

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

A: First of all, in a bidirectional association, there is always an owner side, which defines the mapping, and an inverse side, marked by the presence of the mappedBy attribute.
In a OneToMany association, the owner side is always the many side (PartRelease in your case).
Moreover, a join column, by default, references the ID of the entity it references. Since it's not what you want, you have to specify the referenced column name.
And of course, the RELEASES column must be mapped:
public class GlobalPart extends ModelBase implements Serializable {

    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy = "globalPart")
    private Set<PartRelease> partReleases;

    @Column(name = "RELEASES")
    private Long releasesNumber;
}

public class PartRelease extends ModelBase implements Serializable {
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "COLLECTION_ID", referencedColumnName = "RELEASES")
    private GlobalPart globalPart;

}

Associations are well described in the documentation. You should read it.

A: Whenever you need to map a @ManyToOne using a non-Primary Key column on the parent-side, you have to use the referencedColumnName attribute of the @JoinColumn annotation.
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(
    name = "RELEASES",
    referencedColumnName = "COLLECTIONGID"
)

I used FetchType.LAZY for the @ManyToOne because, by default, FetchType.EAGER fetching is used, which is very bad for performance.

Interface Unveils Prototype Carpet Tile to Inspire New Approaches to Address Climate Change
ATLANTA – June 8, 2017 –Showcasing the private sector's power to create a climate fit for life, Interface today unveiled a first-of-its-kind prototype carbon negative carpet tile. Interface's "Proof Positive" tile proves that with new approaches to materials sourcing and manufacturing, it is possible to make a product with the potential to reverse global warming. After the tile is made, there is less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than if it had not been manufactured in the first place.
"We created this Proof Positive tile to inspire our customers, our industry, and the world to think more broadly about taking on the climate challenge in a new way – to find innovative solutions that will not only reduce, but ultimately reverse global warming," said Chad Scales, Interface's Chief Innovation, Marketing, and Design Officer. "At Interface we can see a not-so-distant future in which architects, designers and businesses collaborate to create spaces with climate change in mind by choosing materials that will reverse global warming. This Proof Positive tile is an important step in our Climate Take Back™ mission as we look at climate change as an opportunity, not a problem."
Every day plants pull carbon out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis but release it when they decompose. Interface has taken specifically selected plant-derived carbon and converted it into a durable material that stores that carbon for at least a generation. The carbon is stored in the materials that make up the Proof Positive tile.
The tile's materials can be recycled to create new carpet tiles at the end of the product's useful life. Keeping this carbon in Interface's recycling system through ReEntry® ensures that this carbon stays in a closed technical loop where it belongs, rather than in the atmosphere where it has negative effects on climate.
Interface's Proof Positive prototype tile has a negative carbon footprint, which the company achieved directly through design and manufacturing, without purchasing carbon offsets. Since 1996, Interface has reduced its cradle-to-gate product carbon emissions from an average of 20.0 kilograms of carbon per square metre to just over 7 kilograms per square metre in 2016. Though only a prototype at this stage, at less than -2 kilograms of carbon per square metre, Interface's concept tile proves that it is possible to store carbon in products rather than emit more carbon into the atmosphere in the process of making those products. Should this approach to manufacturing products become mainstream over time, at volume and full scale, it could become a critical solution to reversing global warming over the long term.
"This prototype builds upon the 20 years of work we've put into creating closed-loop design and manufacturing processes," said John Bradford, Interface's Chief Science and Technical Officer. "These systems serve as a vehicle for carrying out our Climate Take Back mission. This is an exciting milestone as we endeavour to commercialize ways to store carbon in the products we make, giving our customers the opportunity to choose materials with the potential to reverse global warming."

Founded by Glenn Swanson CADC II, MBA, New Creation Treatment is an accomplished leader in the world of addiction treatment and mental health care. Our core philosophies are compassion, integrity, and honesty.
Offering the best treatment services in Christian-based rehab over a wide range of programs, our dedicated staff of addiction and mental health treatment specialists work with compassion and experience.
Our addiction specialists apply a caring approach to treatment for all our patients, fully aware of the unique needs of those in treatment.
Our staff runs one-on-one sessions as well as group discussions, facilitating recovery and personal growth. Many of them have successfully overcome their own addiction challenges and are dedicated to sharing their stories in helping others do the same thing. We also keep up with industry developments and apply experiential therapies, and incorporate alternative treatment plans to the traditional strategies we use.
Addiction doesn't just affect the body – its effects on the mind are often just as dangerous. In fact, emotional and mental health disorders are very commonly associated with addiction – this is known as a dual diagnosis. While treating the physical aspects of a dual diagnosis, for example through medically assisted detox, we make a special effort to treat the mental dimensions as well.
New Creation Treatment staff includes licensed therapists and psychologists, who in combination with our professional support staff are available to our clients at all times. Withdrawal and the weeks after can be fraught with depression, cravings, feelings of low self-worth, and even suicidal thoughts. The personal safety of our clients is paramount, so we ensure we have more than enough professional mental health staff to provide support to them.
Addiction harms the body grievously. In addition to the effects of the drug being used, proper nutrition and exercise are often reduced or even ignored. Our Christian recovery services include exercise and diet programs including yoga, gym access, and hiking to help combat this. We also have an onsite nutritionist and a chef who will consult with each client individually, building a diet plan with your unique nutritional needs in mind.
Faith in God and expanded spirituality have proven time and again to be a boon to people in recovery, especially when they're searching for greater meaning and a sense of wellness than they experienced while using. Strength emanates from within, but feeling watched over and cared for by a higher power is just as important.
Many of our team, including our founder, are guided by their love of God and their faith. We give clients the opportunity to engage with other people of faith, who facilitate group sessions and Bible classes.

The Communities of Makarna is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Giftari Zazara with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.034 billion Makarna are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and International Aid are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Proihoda. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Makarna economy, worth 108 trillion sotas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 21,623 sotas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, Giftari Zazara has just been declared ruler of Makarna in an international press conference, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Makarna's national animal is the qotash cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Makarna is ranked 166,041st in the world and 322nd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 11.75 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
61 days ago : Makarna was ranked in the Top 10% of the world for Most Extensive Civil Rights.

Hasselbeck sees Bills-Titans parallels
Posted by Chris Brown on October 21, 2012 – 11:05 am
Titans QB Matt Hasselbeck sees some parallels between the Bills and Titans in terms of how their seasons have unfolded thus far.
"We did not start out the way we had hoped to, but at the same time we feel like we lost to some good teams," said Hasselbeck via conference call this week. "We're a little bit like Buffalo. The games that we've lost, we've lost by a lot and we weren't really in 'em, and the games that we've won, were closer games, within 10 points or less. We feel like we're pretty similar to them in that regard.
"You look around the AFC it's the same kind of thing and obviously when it comes to playoffs, which people will want to talk about and speculate about, it's going to come down to who wins the division, and there's a lot of teams like the team we played last week that, you know most of their division games, the Steelers, most of their division games are in the last like six to eight weeks of the season.
"You look at the AFC East, like you said, everybody's 3-3. With the exception of Houston and Baltimore, everybody's in it. But everyone can also be out of it quickly if they don't get their act together and that's kind of where we are."

BP takes $17.5B hit as pandemic accelerates emissions cuts
LONDON — Energy company BP is writing down its oil and gas assets by as much as $17.
Canadian Press Jun 15, 2020 11:28 AM Jun 15, 2020 11:35 AM
LONDON — Energy company BP is writing down its oil and gas assets by as much as $17.5 billion and will review its plans to develop oil wells as the shock to the industry and world demand from the COVID-19 pandemic pushes major producers to consider a faster shift away from fossil fuels.
Chief Executive Bernard Looney said Monday that the pandemic is forcing the company to face the long-term impact on the economy, together with the likelihood of weaker demand for a longer period of time. The company pledged in February to become a net-zero emissions company by 2050, and the pandemic has forced them to re-consider their assumptions once more.
"We are also reviewing our development plans,'' Looney said. "All that will result in a significant charge in our upcoming results, but I am confident that these difficult decisions – rooted in our net zero ambition and reaffirmed by the pandemic – will better enable us to compete through the energy transition."
BP said the actions would mean impairment charges and write-offs in the second quarter of between $13 billion to $17.5 billion after tax.
Supply of oil and gas was particularly high when the outbreak began, creating a perfect storm for the industry. With storage facilities filling up, the U.S. price of oil went below zero in April for the first time ever.
Only a week ago BP announced it would cut 10,000 jobs to reduce costs and adapt to sharply falling oil prices and plummeting global demand. The announcement makes clear that structural changes already under way had been hastened by the impact of COVID-19.
"This is the energy transition happening,'' said David Elmes, an energy expert at Warwick Business School. "The question is who can do it and how fast they can do it.''
Oil companies are being pushed to move because they intended to use ongoing profits to fund a transition to the future. But with those profits being squeezed, they need to move faster than they anticipated, forcing them to sprint long before they intended.
Other companies are looking at doing the same - if they have the time and money to change, Elmes said. He cited the example of the Danish company Orsted, a one-time oil company that is now an offshore wind company.
"Other European firms like Shell, Total and Repsol have declared similar ambitions to BP,'' Elmes said. "But low prices mean many are struggling.''
BP has dropped its long-term forecast for Brent crude oil to a range around $55 a barrel. The previous estimate was $70 a barrel and the price as of Monday was $38 a barrel.
"Something like this has been long overdue from BP,'' said Michael Hewson, analyst at CMC Markets, arguing that its dividend is unsustainable. "Having seen its sector peer Royal Dutch Shell bite the bullet and cut its dividend a few weeks ago, it would appear that BP is likely to have to follow suit, if it wants to reduce its already high debt levels and shore up its balance sheet for the new challenges ahead.''
