Using gene editing technology, researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University have, for the first time, successfully excised a segment of HIV-1 DNA – the virus responsible for AIDS – from the genomes of living animals. The breakthrough, described online this month in the journalGene Therapy, is a critical step in the development of a potentially curative strategy for HIV infection.
"In a proof-of-concept study, we show that our gene editing technology can be effectively delivered to many organs of two small animal models and excise large fragments of viral DNA from the host cell genome," explained lead investigator on the study, Kamel Khalili, PhD, Laura H. Carnell Professor and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience, Director of the Center for Neurovirology, and Director of the Comprehensive NeuroAIDS Center at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM).
Current treatment for HIV infection is centered on the use of a combination of antiretroviral drugs. While antiretroviral drug therapy can effectively suppress HIV replication, it has no ability to eliminate HIV-1 from infected cells. Moreover, when antiretroviral therapy is interrupted, HIV replication rebounds, placing patients at risk for developing acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS. Such latent infections develop because HIV DNA is able to persist in the genomes of CD4+ memory T-cells and perhaps in other cellular reservoirs where the virus remains silent and is unaffected by current therapy.
In earlier research, Dr. Khalili and colleagues were able to show that their novel gene editing system, which is based on CRISPR/Cas9 technology, has the extraordinary ability to eliminate HIV-1 from infected cells in vitro with no adverse effect on the host cells. In ex vivo experiments using clinical specimens, including T-cells from patients infected with HIV that were expanded in culture, they showed that viral replication was significantly reduced following treatment with the gene editing system.
The latest study was designed specifically to test whether the gene editing technology could also eliminate HIV-1 in transgenic rats and mice, in which HIV DNA is incorporated into the genome of every cell and organ of the experimental animals. In order to deliver the technology to cells in living animals, Dr. Khalili and colleagues employed a recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vector delivery system. They also engineered the gene editing apparatus to cleave the integrated HIV-1 DNA in the host cell genome, leading to excision of the viral DNA fragment from the host genome.
Two weeks after delivery of the rAAV CRISPR/Cas-9 molecules into the bloodstream, the researchers analyzed the DNA of tissues collected from the animals. The results showed that the targeted segment of HIV-1 DNA had been excised from the viral genome in every tissue, including the brain, heart, kidney, liver, lungs, spleen, and blood cells. Analyses of viral RNA in the rat model showed that the strategy significantly reduced levels of HIV-1 RNA in circulating lymphocytes, as well as in lymph nodes, indicating that viral genome excision had significantly impacted HIV-1 gene expression in cells carrying integrated viral DNA.
"The ability of the rAAV delivery system to enter many organs containing the HIV-1 genome and edit the viral DNA is an important indication that this strategy can also overcome viral reactivation from latently infected cells and potentially serve as a curative approach for patients with HIV," said Dr. Khalili. The excision strategy used in this study, which led to the removal of a large fragment of HIV-1 DNA, eliminates any chance for the development of replication-competent virus or escape events.
The clinical implications of the new study are far-reaching. The gene editing platform by itself may be able to eradicate HIV-1 DNA from patients, but it is also highly flexible and potentially could be used in combination with existing antiretroviral drugs to further suppress viral RNA. It also could be adapted to target mutated strains of HIV-1.
Dr. Khalili noted that a clinical trial could happen within the next several years. In the meantime, the next step is to conduct a follow-up study in a larger group of animals, in which the researchers plan to monitor for effects of the treatment, its safety, and other important indices.
Other researchers contributing to the study include Rafal Kaminski, Chaoran Yin, Jessica Otte, Jennifer Gordon, and Wenhui Hu, Department of Neuroscience, Center for Neurovirology, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University; Ramona Bella and Pasquale Ferrante, Microbiology and Clinical Microbiology, Department of Biomedical, Surgical and Dental Sciences, University of Milan, Milan, Italy; Howard E. Gendelman, Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience, University of Nebraska Medical Center; and Hailong Li and Rosemarie Booze, Behavioral Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, University of South Carolina.
The research was supported in part by grants provided by the National Institutes of Health (P30MH092177 and R01NS087971).

Q: Как производить "быстрый поиск" в базе? На сайте есть несколько разделов, в этих разделах отображаются таблицы с данными. Например таблица пользователей и их информация.
Есть одно единственное поле поиска, в которое "искатель" может написать любой текст, например "ива" и в итоге в таблице должны отобразиться только те строки, где присутствует данная строка. Столбцов может быть много, хоть 50, поиск может быть осуществлён и по числу (ну например "количество подчинённых у пользователя"), а также таблицы могут быть связанными (например с таблицей адресов пользователей, настроек, подразделения и т.д.).
Вопрос: каким способом это осуществлять?

*

*Считаю, что способ поиска строки через LIKE %searchString% по всем столбцам крайне неэффективна, поэтому этот вариант сразу не рассматриваю.

*Был вариант делать конкатенацию значений всех (или почти всех) столбцов и только по сконкатенированной строке делать LIKE %searchString%. На сколько это эффективно?

*Был вариант выгрузить данные на клиент, но там хранить негде такой объём данных. localStorage слишком маленький.

*Может быть использовать какие-то кэширующие средства? Какие?

*Может быть использовать какие-то специализированные поисковые движки? Какие? Получается надо будет дублировать информацию из основной базы в движковою?

В общем, как это правильно делать? Что применять? На что обращать внимание? Какие нюансы и т.д.

Over Grits for Breakfast, a biography by C. Alphonso Smith is reviewed re the case of O Henry. Smith notes that the common view of the day was that O Henry was "a victim of circumstances," at least if they bothered to follow the trial closely. The bank involved as "wretchedly manage" and patrons frely went behind the counters, took money, and reported their behavior later. O Henry had complained to others that "it was impossible to make the books balance." Grits also notes that an indictment charges O Henry with embezzlement, in Austin, on November 12, when it is well established that, by that point in time, O Henry had resigned from the bank and was living in Houston! Both the foreman of the grand jury and the foreman of the trial jury are reported to have regretted their votes to convict afterward. See more interesting takes on this fascinating case in the full post here.


One of the first JCB TM420 telehandlers to roll off the Staffordshire production line has been earning its keep with a Somerset dairy farm, having clocked more than 800 hours in just seven months.
From the 182-hectare Bollow Farm, East Woodlands, Frome, the Aylesbury family operates an extensive machinery fleet, including a self-propelled forager, to ensure it makes the most of silage quality for its 400-cow herd.
The only exception is forage maize, where it uses the trusted services of a local contractor for planting and harvesting.
When it comes to materials handling and extensive clamp duties, the farm relies heavily on its telehandler. Until recently, this was a rigid chassis Cat TH407.
But now there is a new kid on the block at Bollow Farm, in the guise of a JCB TM420.
So what prompted the farm to make such a radical move and shift from a side-cabbed driving position with all-wheel steering?
However, to meet the needs of the business a more versatile machine was sought.
Henry says: "We tried a JCB TM320 on demo and also a JCB 419 Farm Master and both were good. The 419 loading shovel was superb on the clamp, where the pivot-steer telehandler TM320 would spin its wheels far too easily. It also lacked grip around the yards.
"And where the TM was not heavy enough, the Farm Master was just too much of a compromise," he adds.
At this point, Henry was invited through Smarts to see and also try out the new TM420 at JCB's working quarry.
The TM420, it may be recalled, is the bigger brother to the TM320. It features a longer wheelbase, is bigger overall, with larger wheel and tyre options and the development of an all-new boom and chassis.
As the new flagship pivot-steer handler from the British maker, it answers criticisms from TM320 customers wanting extra capacity and productivity. Under the skin is a 145hp JCB engine with a torque converter and six-speed powershift transmission.
The farm has a wide variety of attachments and when not on clamp duties with a three-metre push off fork, the TM420 fills the farm's diet feeder on a daily basis using a shear grab, handles muck, uses buckets, pallet forks, bale spike and a sand dispenser.
However, the farm has had to change some attachments and also modify couplings to suit the JCB's Q-Fit headstock.
"Getting the pallet forks on and off is a real hassle and I would much rather have seen a pin and cone system fitted to make attachment changes much easier," says Henry.
Since arriving at Bollow Farm at the end of July last year, the TM420 has certainly earned its stripes. With 800 hours under its belt, it is more than capable of keeping up with the farm's JD7300 self propelled forager and also the contractor's machine during maize harvest.
"The TM sits on Michelin Ultraflex tyres, which we run at 14psi in the rear and 17psi up front," he says. "It just grips. And the places I can get into – and out of – with the pivot, are far better than a rigid handler. I would not want to go back.
Henry has pushed the boat out with a few options, and a little arm-twisting led to the installation of a polished chrome exhaust pipe, front light protector plates and LED lighting on the boom and cab roof.
A five-year, 5,000-hour warranty has given the farm some relatively fixed costs throughout its intended period of ownership, though Henry thinks his time spent in the cab has revealed the TM's taste for diesel.
The TM420 has been returned to its maker as part of ongoing field trials and analysis with customers.
It is reported to be the first model retailed in the UK and, as such, JCB is making the most of feedback from such a busy on-farm operation.
And during the period spent without the big TM, a 'smaller' TM320 stepped in.
He also likes the machine's boom ride control, a joystick that moves with the seat, and the reversing camera.
With 800 hours on its clock in a little more than seven months, it is fair to say the honeymoon period is well and truly over. Though its appearance suggests the machine has done a fraction of those hours.


My guest this week is Shaquille Baptiste aka ShaqIsDope. Hailing from St. James Town Community located in downtown Toronto. I was recently invited to his listening session for his new project Black Frames which was hosted at Throne Barbershop where there was plenty of Fiji Water and free samples of Beard Oil on deck! Even though I couldn't grow a beard if my life depended on it!
We talked about his significance of growing up in St. James Town neighbourhood, why it was important for him to study the greats and so much more.
You proudly represent the St.Jamestown neighbourhood. For those who aren't from Toronto where is it and what significance does this area have for you?
Why is Toronto so regional?
Can you take me to a moment when you remember the first rap song and how you became to be a fan of the culture. Take us to that moment.
Your transition from a fan to a rapper how did that come about?
Your mom is West Indian and your father is Venezuelan. Did that have any kind of influence at all?
Your mom is one of your inspiration because she supports you being a rapper and she told you to follow your dreams. Most immigrant parents want us to get traditional jobs why do you think your mom is supporting you?
You were born in 1992 so you were a baby in the golden era. I find most rap fans compared to other genres don't really appreciate the forefathers and do their knowledge but for you it's really important to study it why?
Now if most ppl take a look at the way you dress it's not like the typical rapper, we've definitely come a long way from XXL T-Shirt and baggy jeans. How would you describe your style and where do you get your influence from?
Black Frames, this is a project you've been working on for a while. Tell us about it.
When I usually go to listening sessions, you seem a lot of Toronto industry ppl but at your show I didn't see one person at all. I also notice you aren't particularly active in the Toronto Hip- Hop scene tell me how that came to be?
Other side of the coin most Toronto Rappers never leave their city, some of them never leave the GTA and some the country tell me the what you gain from going to NYC all the time.
Hotnewhiphop relationship, apple music, tidal, spotify, how did all that happen? How did you hit 2 million listens on soundcloud?
You met Fabolous during all star weekend who is a rap idol to you what was that moment like?

Josef Werner (* 25. Juni 1837 in Würzburg; † 14. November 1922 in München) war ein deutscher Komponist, Violoncellist und Violoncellolehrer.

Leben
Der Sohn eines Musikdirektors am Würzburger Stadttheater bildete sich zunächst in seiner Heimatstadt. 1852 ging er nach München, wo er am 1846 gegründeten Konservatorium eine Ausbildung als Violoncellist bei Joseph Menter und nach dessen Tod bei Hyppolit Müller (1834–1876), Cellist der Münchner Hofkapelle, erhielt. Zusätzlich nahm er Geigenunterricht bei Joseph Moralt und Franz Joseph Fröhlich. Ab 1867 studierte er Kompositionslehre bei Friedrich Grützmacher in Dresden. 1856 erhielt er eine Stelle als Solo-Violoncellist beim Münchner Hoforchester und unterrichtete ab 1857 an der Königlichen Akademie der Tonkunst in München mit dem Titel eines Professors; dieser Stelle wurde er 1904 unter Belassung des Titels enthoben. Im Schuljahr 1859/60 übernahm er den Instrumentalunterricht für Carl Schönchen am Münchner Maximiliansgymnasium. Am 1. September 1911 wurde er hier auf eigenen Wunsch seiner Funktion enthoben. 1899 wurde ihm der Verdienstorden vom Hl. Michael IV. Klasse verliehen, 1910 die Ehrenmünze des Ludwigsordens  anlässlich des 50-jährigen Dienstjubiläums.

Josef Werner war verheiratet mit Josepha Leprosse (1840–1906), Tochter eines Klaviervermieters aus München. Von den sieben gemeinsamen Kindern erreichten drei Söhne und eine Tochter das Erwachsenenalter.

Als Instrumentalist und Komponist verfasste Werner eine praktische Violoncelloschule, Studien, Etüden, Capricen, Solostücke und zahlreiche Bearbeitungen. Zu seinen Schülern gehörten Heinrich Schübel (vor 1873–nach 1880) aus Karlsruhe, Emil Herbeck aus St. Petersburg, Christian Döbereiner aus Wunsiedel, Carl Ebner (1857–1930) aus Deggendorf, Toni Thoms und Heinrich Schönchen (1827–1887) aus München und Marie Geist (1859–1912) aus Würzburg.

The post was about her very first encounter with the wigglin' & giggling treat itself – jello!
We'll that got me thinking. I'm not a big fan of strawberry anything, but maybe I could get the Mama to make me CHICKEN J-E-L-L-O!
We decided that a sweet vintage jello salad would be more fun than just plain jello. Remember jello salad? the Mama totally felt like June Cleaver as she whipped one up and inexplicably kept calling me "Beav" and acting like a real jerk when I didn't respond. Sometimes that Mama is nuts.
You know how I told you that the Mama cooks the same amount of food for 9 as she would for 19? Well turns out she cooks the same amount for 2 as she would 10!
The Mama had made chicken tacos for dinner on Saturday and there were tons of leftovers, so we had some pretty darn good jello fixins.
Pour 1/4 cup chicken stock in a glass or platic bowl. Place remiaining stock in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir gelatin into cold stock. Pour boiling stock into the mix, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Now, there are two ways to make jello salad: my way and the right way! You are supposed to put the jello in the fridge to partially set, then fold in any fixins. Chaaaaa? You what? Uh uh. I don't think so. We here at Kolchak's Kitchen are far too lazy for that many steps. We just tossed the chicken and veggies right into the jello moulds and poured the jello mix over top. This actually worked out well, as the chicken all settled at the bottom creating nice look for the finished product!
We used silicone cake moulds, but any glass, plastic or silicone bowl or muffin cups would work. Silicone is just our favorite type of bake wear to work with as it was so easy to get the jellos out of the mould.
Not going to lie, chicken jello might be simply the best thing ever. It is SO MUCH FUN to play with! Not to mention that it could actually be good for you! Gelatin is often used as a supplement in dogs with arthritis & seizures. Imagine getting two spoonfuls of this wobblin' & wigglin' treat everyday. This are lucky dogs!
It turned out to be a great thing that the Mama made us eat this on the lawn, as I must confess, I had to throw mine around a bit before I ate it!

CLOSING NIGHT: The Champagne Goodbye After-Party
Crush Wine Bar (map)
We bring the 3rd Annual Kaleidoscope to a close at Crush Wine Bar!
CLOSING NIGHT FILM: Princess Cyd
Argenta Community Theater (map)
Expected to attend: Director Stephen Cone
Teenage athlete Cyd thinks she has the world figured out, until a summer with her novelist aunt teaches her a valuable lesson in compassion. As she navigates her attraction to both women and men, Cyd rejects her aunt's seemingly simple lifestyle, her faith, and her poetic way of seeing. But in this uncommonly graceful, deeply humane coming-of-age film, Kaleidoscope winner Stephen Cone encourages Cyd — and us — to find common ground while celebrating our differences. ~ Mark Thiedeman
Expected to attend: Director Jennifer Gerber, Writer Samuel Brett Williams, and Actor David Rysdahl
In local filmmaker Jennifer Gerber's Southern Gothic debut, a rugged stranger comes to town, inflaming the repressed desires of a handsome, sensitive church pastor. Evoking Flannery O'Connor and the Coen Brothers, Gerber's film is both darkly funny and dead-serious: it's an intense, romantic passion play set in a world of of casseroles, gossipy church ladies, home-cooked drugs, and kissin' cousins. Handsomely photographed and boldly acted by its two leads, The Revival is a brave, compelling addition to Central Arkansas' growing list of home-grown films. ~ Mark Thiedeman
Made in Arkansas
Aimless Santiago teen Jesus — coiffed like a member of a boy band — spends his days huffing paint, watching snuff videos, and having casual sex. But his life is turned upside down when, after a concert, he and his friends drunkenly attack a young gay man for no apparent reason. Plagued with guilt, Jesus retreats to isolation, contending with his own closeted sexuality and a strained relationship with his single father. A necessary companion piece to last year's controversial Kaleidoscope entry You'll Never Be Alone, Fernando Guzzoni's dark thriller is an urgent reminder of the ongoing epidemic of hate crimes in Latin America and beyond. ~ Mark Thiedeman
Adults Only: Contains scenes of explicit sexuality.

Expected to attend: Actor Luka Kain (BEST ACTOR winner at Outfest)
After his staunchly religious aunt kicks him out of his Bronx apartment, 14-year-old Ulysses begins an odyssey through the West Village, finding a new family at SaturdayChurch, a community program for homeless LGBT youth. Based on his actual experiences volunteering at Saturday Church and performed by a remarkable cast of trans actors, Damon Cardasis' dreamy musical is a triumphant tale of self discovery, pride, and first love. ~ Mark Thiedeman
The Death and Life of Marsha P Johnson
Oscar-nominated director David France follows an ongoing inquiry into the mysterious death of pioneering trans activist Marsha P. Johnson. In his stunningly filmed documentary, her story becomes a catalyst to examine a legal system that regularly brushes away acts of violence targeting the trans community. It is a bold, engaging call to action, celebrating not only the lives and work of those on the front-lines at Stonewall, but the men and women who continue their efforts today. ~ Mark Thiedeman

Ahead of its time in both subject and style, The Watermelon Woman is both faux-documentary and true-life fiction, all drawn from Dunye's personal experiences exploring both the history of black women in cinema and the always comic gay dating scene. Two decades later, the film remains as vital as ever, a treasure of the New Queer Cinema of the 90s. ~ Mark Thiedeman
Kaleidoscope Trailblazer Award is sponsored by Arkansas Times
Black is Blue (Short film screening with The Watermelon Woman)
Black -- once Blue -- is now a transman who works as a security guard in an apartment complex in Oakland. One night, Black notices an ex- girlfriend partying with some other women in one of the buildings.

The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin
THE UNTOLD TALES OF ARMISTEAD MAUPIN examines the life and work of one of the world's most beloved storytellers, following his evolution from a conservative son of the Old South into a gay rights pioneer whose novels have inspired millions to claim their own truth. Jennifer Kroot's documentary about the creator of Tales Of The City moves nimbly between playful and poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. With help from his friends (including Neil Gaiman, Laura Linney, Olympia Dukakis, Sir Ian McKellen and Amy Tan), Maupin offers a disarmingly frank look at the journey that took him from the jungles of Vietnam to the bathhouses of 70's San Francisco to the front line of the American culture war.
The Wound
In John Trengove's thrilling debut, the openly gay South African singer Nakhane Touré gives a remarkable performance as Xolani, a youth leader in an annual circumcision rite. Between afternoon trysts with his closeted lover, Xolani promotes his culture's conservative idea of manhood. But his complacency is shaken when a wealthy teenager dares to question the age-old ritual, pushing him to reject tradition and follow his heart. ~ Mark Thiedeman
Brothers of the Night + Scorpio Rising (Short)
Largely discriminated against in their native Bulgaria, a group of young, charismatic Roma find a new home in Austria, where they sell their bodies for cash, indulge in simple pleasures, and take refuge in the bond they share. As sonorous as it is beautiful, BROTHERS OF THE NIGHT is a cinephile's dream, nodding to decades of queer cinema history — Anger, Fassbinder, Genet, Warhol, Pasolini. It's also the most artful of documentaries, a neon-lit portrait of digital-age drifters wandering through the Viennese night. ~ Mark Thiedeman
Queer Cinema: Coffee and Art with Michael Shaeffer
Argenta Gallery (map)
Director Mark Thiedeman and Artist Michael Shaeffer discuss Queer Cinema and Shaeffer's current art exhibit "Film Flash Focus Record/ A Glimpse Into Queer Cinema". Coffee & pastries will be provided.
God's Own Country
In Francis Lee's breathtaking debut, a brutish, hard-drinking young farmer is softened by his blossoming love for a Romanian migrant worker. Set against the sweeping landscapes of Yorkshire, this visually astonishing film has already caused a sensation at film festivals around the globe. While offering a detailed portrait of rural life and all its cold realities, God's Own Country remains a hopeful tale, the story of a young man's journey toward self-acceptance and joy. ~ Mark Thiedeman
The Ornithologist + Narcissus (short)
A lone birdwatcher capsizes his kayak and begins a journey into the heart of darkness, encountering a pair of mystic Chinese Christians, a skinny-dipping goatherd named Jesus, a fraternity of pagan hooligans, and a trio of bare-breasted Amazons. Devout but blasphemous, serene but psychedelic, impossible to categorize but compulsively watchable, this queer retelling of the story of Saint Anthony of Padua is the most thrilling work yet by one of the world's most essential gay filmmakers. ~ Mark Thiedeman
The Peeler (Red Band Short Film Block)
The following 4 short films screening in "The Peeler" block.
Dawn of the Deaf, Directed by Rob Savage
The Mousetrap, Directed by Ricky Mastro
Climax, Directed by Fulvio Balmer
Rusalka, Directed by Wes Hurley
Adults Only: Contains scenes of explicit sexuality. Must be 18+ to purchase ticket.
Signature Move
In Jennifer Reeder's refreshing rom-com about love and female wrestling, a Pakistani lawyer navigates her crush on an outspoken Mexican bookstore owner, all the while dodging the watchful eye of her soap-opera-loving mother. A crowd-pleasing, uniquely American indie, Signature Move celebrates our nation's cultural diversity and insists on empathy for the individual experience of others. ~ Mark Thiedeman
After escaping her abusive father, filmmaker Huang Hui-Chen was raised by her single mother Anu, spending her days at funerals where Anu earned her living as a spirit guide for the dead. Always aware that her mother was a lesbian, Huang never dared to ask questions about her past, her relationships, or her family. Now an adult with a daughter of her own, she bravely sets up a camera and films Anu's story, an illuminating narrative about homophobia, domestic violence, and the daily struggles of women in Taiwan. Produced by master filmmaker Hou Hsiao-Hsien. ~ Mark Thiedeman

OPENING NIGHT EVENT - Hello Again
Expected to Attend: Director Tom Gustafson and Actress Jenna Ushkowitz (Glee)
From the director of the hit film Were the World Mine comes a wild, funny, shape-shifting musical that bounces from decade to decade — and bedroom to bedroom — in its depiction of ten steamy love affairs. Featuring the great Audra McDonald alongside Cheyenne Jackson (American Horror Story), Jenna Ushowitz (Glee), and Tyler Blackburn (Pretty Little Liars), Hello Again is the rare movie that celebrates not only the L's, the G's, the B's and the T's, but also our straight friends and allies. (And for you film and theater buffs, it's also a clever, queer update of Arthur Schnitzler's 1897 daisy-chain La Ronde, the source material for Max Ophuls' classic 1950 film.) ~ Mark Thiedeman
OPENING NIGHT EVENT - "Film Flash Focus Record: A Glimpse Into Queer Cinema" Works on Paper by Michael Shaeffer Art Gallery Reception

There is something very rewarding and very raw about using film. Which is why I want to share the first steps with you for when you get your first medium format camera. I encourage everyone who wants to be a professional photographer to use film, at least at some point, as it will only enhance your craft.
How did this gal become a photographer? Well, it all started when I was 14 years old. My dad gave me his old Nikon F4 and I went on a life changing trip with my school to Tecaté, Mexico that would forever shape my future, even though I did not know it at the time.

Yoshimi Watanabe (jap. , Watanabe Yoshimi; * 17. März 1952 in Nishinasuno (Heute Nasushiobara), Präfektur Tochigi) ist ein japanischer Politiker und seit 2016 Abgeordneter im Sangiin, dem Oberhaus des nationalen Parlaments, für den nationalen Verhältniswahlkreis. Von 1996 bis 2014 war er Abgeordneter im Shūgiin, dem nationalen Unterhaus, für den 3. Wahlkreis Tochigi. Er ist heute national parteilos und führt die Sangiin-Fraktion Minna no Tō; außerdem gründete er für die einheitlichen Präfektur- und Kommunalwahlen 2019 eine gleichnamige Regionalpartei. Von 2009 bis 2014 war er Vorsitzender der nationalen Minna no Tō ("Partei aller"), von 2016 bis 2017 gehörte er der Nippon Ishin no Kai an. Er hatte im Januar 2009 die Liberaldemokratische Partei (LDP) verlassen, für die er von 2007 bis 2008 Minister im Kabinett war.

Leben und Karriere
Watanabe studierte Rechtswissenschaften an der Chūō-Universität, wo er 1979 seinen Abschluss machte. Zuvor studierte er bis 1977 an der Fakultät für Wirtschafts- und Politikwissenschaften der Waseda-Universität. Ab 1983 war er Sekretär seines Vaters, des Shūgiin-Abgeordneten, Ministers für Internationalen Handel und Industrie und späteren Außenministers Michio Watanabe. Nach dessen Tod 1995 übernahm er bei der Shūgiin-Wahl 1996 seinen Wahlkreis. Bis zur "Katō-Rebellion" von 2000 gehörte Watanabe zur Etō-Kamei-Faktion.

Premierminister Shinzō Abe ernannte Watanabe im Dezember 2006 zum Nachfolger des wegen eines Spendenskandals zurückgetretenen Ministers für Deregulierung, Gen'ichirō Sata. Bei der Kabinettsumbildung im August 2007 wurde Watanabe dann Staatsminister für den Finanzsektor, einen Monat später erhielt er im Kabinett Yasuo Fukuda zusätzlich die Zuständigkeiten für Verwaltungsreform und "Reform des Beamtentums" (kōmuinseido kaikaku). Bei einer Kabinettsumbildung im August 2008 wurde er durch Toshimitsu Motegi (LDP, Tsushima-Faktion) ersetzt.

Am 24. Dezember 2008 stimmte Watanabe im Shūgiin gegen seine Fraktion für einen Antrag der oppositionellen Demokratischen Partei auf Auflösung der Kammer und vorgezogene Neuwahlen. Er begründete seinen Schritt damit, dass Neuwahlen der einzige Weg seien, die politische Blockade (Nejire Kokkai) aufzulösen. Watanabe erklärte anschließend, in der LDP bleiben zu wollen, wenn er nicht ausgeschlossen werde. Er schloss aber die Möglichkeit nicht aus, selbst die LDP zu verlassen und eine neue Partei zu gründen. Am 25. Dezember 2008 erhielt Watanabe eine Rüge, die zweitmildeste von acht möglichen Disziplinarmaßnahmen in der LDP.

Am 13. Januar 2009 verließ er die LDP mit Verweis auf die Politik von Premierminister Asō. Für die Shūgiin-Wahl 2009 gründete er im August 2009 die Minna no Tō ("Partei aller"), die mit 14 Kandidaten antrat. An der Gründung beteiligten sich auch drei ehemalige Abgeordnete und der Sangiin-Abgeordnete Keiichirō Asao, der im Juli aus der Demokratischen Partei ausgeschlossen worden war. Die Minna no Tō konnte unter Watanabe seit 2009 mehrere Wahlerfolge verzeichnen: So wurde sie bei der Sangiin-Wahl 2010 drittstärkste Partei in der Verhältniswahl und zog 2011 in mehrere Präfekturparlamente ein.

Nach einem Skandal über einen nicht gemeldeten Kredit von Yoshiaki Yoshida, dem Vorstandsvorsitzenden des Kosmetikunternehmens DHC, in Höhe von 800 Mio. Yen, sowie weiteren Krediten über 600 Mio. Yen musste er im April 2014 von seinem Posten als Parteivorsitzender zurücktreten. Nach der Auflösung der Partei kandidierte er bei der Shūgiin-Wahl 2014 parteilos und unterlag mit 40,1 % zu 48,7 % dem Liberaldemokraten Kazuo Yana.

Bei der Sangiin-Wahl 2016 kandidierte er für die Ōsaka Ishin no Kai im nationalen Verhältniswahlkreis, erhielt 143.343 Stimmen und erreichte damit den zweiten Listenplatz, der bei vier Ishin-Sitzen die erfolgreiche Wahl bedeutete.

Nach der Wahl 2019 gründete Watanabe zusammen mit Takashi Tachibana von der "Partei zum Schutz des Volkes vor der NHK" eine neue Fraktion unter dem Namen Minna no Tō.

LAREDO, TEXAS – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Laredo Port of Entry recently seized a significant amount of alleged marijuana and cocaine with an estimated street value of over $1.3 million in two separate enforcement actions.
"Our CBP officers face many challenges daily while facilitating lawful trade," said (A) Port Director Alberto Flores, Laredo Port of Entry. "CBP's layers of enforcement such as the non-intrusive imaging system, canine and the officer's experience play an important role in the intercepting of these dangerous narcotics."
Packages containing 4,739 pounds of marijuana

The most recent seizure occurred on Saturday, Dec. 2, when a CBP officer at Juarez-Lincoln Bridge referred a commercial bus for a non-intrusive inspection. The non-intrusive imaging system, canine and physical inspection by CBP officers resulted in the discovery of 20 packages containing 53 pounds of alleged cocaine hidden in the bus.
The other seizure occurred on Wednesday, Nov. 29, when a CBP officer at World Trade Bridge referred a 2000 Freightliner tractor trailer hauling a shipment of frozen avocado pulp for a secondary inspection. Upon further inspection of the shipment by CBP officers utilizing the non-intrusive imaging system and canine, led to the discovery of 3,003 packages containing a total of 4,739 pounds of alleged marijuana was discovered.

A while back the wife wanted to her replace her ageing Sony Ericsson with a new phone that could sync her calendar and get emails instantly. I wanted her to have a Nokia but she wasn't bothered and the only device that could sync emails instantly and sync Google calendar without manual intervention was the Blackberry.
So she got a Blackberry Pearl,yes it syncs emails instantly but it also alerts you when you send email The sync of contacts from ZYB was a disaster and the menu system on it is just horrendous.
I have to confess that I'd never had a Blackberry and having try out every other Mobile Phone OS was keen to give the much vaunted Blackberry a whirl. I spent a considerable amount of time setting the device up and exploring the menu system. Once click and your into text only menu systems with no clear structure or clarity.
Well the device lasted about 3 months, we were travelling home when I received a text, whilst I was driving and the good wife was the passenger, she read the message to me. Whilst reading the message she explored the menu's on my N95 8GB and declared that this was a proper phone and the crapberry had to go.
So the Crapberry has been replace with my old N95-1 which has been tweaked to a rather lady like theme and twinkly ring tone. I've asked Squemster to write a review of her experiences with the Blackberry. I know my experience with the device was horrendous I sure hope the latest devices have moved forward from the stinker that this the Blackberry Pearl.
This entry was posted in life, Nokia/S60. Bookmark the permalink.
Great story, and superb handset the N95, still successful today that when it launched two years ago.!


Recently, I've had the opportunity to cover / take photos for Marcel's Bistro's Summerlicious Menu.
Summerlicious is one of two festivals in Toronto every year, where and when certain restaurants participate in and have a special menu only available at that certain time. This usually starts in July. The other event would be Winterlicious, which happens during the first two weeks of February.
1) Caesar Salad with Smoked Pork Belly Chips and Tomato Confit.
2) Risotto with Veal, Spinach, Mushrooms and Onion in Veal Jus.
3) Prosciutto over Mixed Greens with Black Olives and Tomato.
4.Carpaccio of Cured Salmon with Lime and Dill Marinara.
5. Grand Marnier Cheesecake with Orange Marmalade .
7. Grilled 16oz Top Sirloin with a Cream of Green Peppercorn Sauce Served with Pont Neuf Potatoes.
8. Basil and Almond Crusted Salmon.
Personally from experience, it's always fun for me to take photos of food. The challenge here is to get the best angle of the food, and the right lighting. I always prefer natural light, because 1) the colors look better, and 2) it doesn't change / effect the quality of the food right away.
The hardest challenge I always get is being able to focus and control myself when taking food photos. The look and smell of these always make it hard for me to take photos.
Which one is your favorite among all the dishes?
If you weren't able to catch Summerlicious, I suggest you wait for Winterlicious. They're worth it, and it's one great experience.

A short 32 mile stage, but the milage does not tell the story. There is a lot of hike-a-bike on this stage. The course has changed and the route crosses the Ten Mile range twice. The first time at 12K feet on the Wheeler trail and a second time at 12,800 feet on the Miners Creek trail. The Miners Creek descent is burly!

Guyot, the queen stage of Breck Epic. French pass is a huge obstacle to climb over with an extended hike-a-bike. On the descent a rear tire flat ate up 20+ minutes (long story...) and took a lot of the wind out of my sails. Got it done but a lot of time was lost.
The Colorado Trail outside of Breckenridge CO. Enough said. Great stuff.
From BreckEpic.com: Ever heard that line about what you're supposed to do if you have to go to prison? Kill the first guy you see. That's what Stage 1 is all about.

We were having a great race and had 9 laps done in the first 12 hours. We quit after Kim fell and hurt her ankle about midnight, she finished her lap but could not continue. The rules state that each rider needs to be with in 2 laps of the other team member. At that point I had 7 laps and Kim 6, so I could have done one more but that would be all I could do as our total would be 8 for me and 6 for Kim. Better luck next year.
Fun race, fun course, fun people to race with. We were in a race the whole time and ended just 6 minutes out of 3rd place and just 29 minutes out of 2nd place. A 24 hour race is going to have ups and downs and we had a couple of mechanical issues that bit some time into our race but we kept going after it to the end. We felt sorry for the solo people since during the middle of the first day it was really really hot. That zapped the life out of many of the solo riders.

Stayed with the 'lead group' behind that tandem until apx. mile 80 where Tony B had tire failure issues. I stayed with Tony until we determined it could not be repaired and then I continued. About 5 miles later I missed a turn and rode the rest of the ride off course. Still finished with full milage, just wandering through Abq on my own route.

Franklin County Courthouse
Cochran was selected to provide civil design, survey, geotechnical, inspection & testing and construction administration to the existing Franklin County Courthouse located in Union, Missouri. The historical three-story, 90-foot, square building has four similar facades and was built in 1922. This was the counties fourth courthouse since the county was organized in 1818.
Franklin County is part of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area. The Missouri River runs along the northern border of the county. The 27,000 square foot County Courthouse building involved renovating and upgrading the historical site for ADA compliance. Part of the Americans with Disabilities Act improvements needed were additional ramps to the main entrance on the east side of the building. The two ramps now provide direct access to the County Judicial Center and County Government Center from the main entrance and keep the focal point on the existing renovated Franklin County Historical Courthouse. The historic courtroom located in the courthouse has been returned to its original condition. The renovation maintained the existing separate entrance doors which keep the separation of clientele to each department.
The County Government Center is located on the Southeast corner and the County Judicial Center is located on the Northeast corner of the County Courthouse. Three flagpoles were placed at the east entrance, one for the U.S., Missouri, and Franklin County flags. The county is named after Founding Father Benjamin Franklin and a Benjamin Franklin statue sits on the grounds as well. The renovation of Franklin County's historic courthouse was completed in fall 2010 as the third and final project.

Das Schulmuseum – Werkstatt für Schulgeschichte Leipzig (kurz auch Schulmuseum Leipzig) ist eine Einrichtung der Stadt Leipzig. Als Museum sammelt und dokumentiert es Sachzeugnisse zur Leipziger Schul- und Bildungsgeschichte von 1212 bis zur Gegenwart. Nach seinem Leitbild versteht es sich als Museum und als aktiver Lern- und Arbeitsort.

Standort
Das Museum befindet sich in der Leipziger Innenstadt unter der Adresse Leipzig, Goerdelerring 20 in einem Gebäude des ehemaligen Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit (MfS) der DDR. Dieser sogenannte Saalbau wurde 1957 an das von 1911 bis 1913 für die Alte Leipziger Feuerversicherung errichtete Hauptgebäude angebaut und war der erste Neubau der Staatssicherheit in Leipzig. Das Gebäude steht unter Denkmalschutz.

Die Dauerausstellungen des Museums befinden sich in der zweiten und dritten Etage des Hauses. Die Unterbringung in einem Gebäude des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit ist von großer Bedeutung für das Selbstverständnis des Museums, das sich in besonderer Weise der Rolle von Schule und Erziehung in den Diktaturen des 20. Jahrhunderts widmet und sich als Ort lebendiger demokratischer Bildung versteht. Gemeinsam mit der "Fachstelle Extremismus und Gewaltprävention", "Geschäftsstelle Kinder- und Jugendbeteiligung" einschließlich des Beteiligungsverfahrens Schulbau und Nutzerbeteiligung multifunktionale Gebäude sowie dem Jugendparlament der Stadt Leipzig bildet das Schulmuseum das "Zentrum für demokratische Bildung" im Amt für Jugend, Familie und Bildung der Stadt Leipzig.

Geschichte
Bereits 1909 strebte ein zu diesem Zweck gebildeter Verein unter dem Vorsitz von Max Brahn, einem Schüler von Wilhelm Wundt, die Gründung eines Schulmuseums in Leipzig an. Es befand sich in einem Klassenraum einer Leipziger Volksschule, verschwand aber während des Ersten Weltkriegs wieder. Brahn ging 1920 nach Berlin, und Leipzig blieb mehr als 60 Jahre ohne Schulmuseum.

1984 wurde, wie vielerorts in der DDR, auch in Leipzig ein Schulmuseum gegründet. Es wurde in einem Klassenzimmer der damaligen Georg-Schwarz-Schule (heute 57. Mittelschule) im Stadtteil Lindenau eingerichtet. Mit dem Umzug 1994 in die Schule am Floßplatz verbesserten sich die räumlichen Bedingungen. Die notwendige Neuorientierung der Sammlungskonzeption und der gesamten Arbeit der Einrichtung begann zusammen mit einer personellen Erneuerung erst 1998. Im Jahr 2000 erfolgten der Umzug und die Einrichtung des jetzigen Standorts. Von 2000 bis 2015 war Elke Urban die Leiterin des Museums. 2015 übernahm Thomas Töpfer die Leitung des Hauses. Als Kooperationseinrichtung der Stadt, der Universität und der Hochschule für Technik, Wirtschaft und Kultur Leipzig wird die Arbeit des Museums von einem Wissenschaftlichen Beirat begleitet. Seit 2003 besteht der Förderverein Schulmuseum – Werkstatt für Schulgeschichte Leipzig e. V.

Museum

Ausstellungen
Die Dauerausstellung gliedert sich in zwei Abschnitte, je einer auf einer Etage. Statt einer chronologischen Darstellung stehen exemplarische Fragen an das 800-jährige Wirken von Institutionen und deren Protagonisten, sowie die Brüche und Besonderheiten der Leipziger Bildungsgeschichte im Vordergrund.

Der erste Teil der Dauerausstellung für die Zeit von 1212 bis 1933 behandelt die Schwerpunkte Schule in der Kaiserzeit 1871–1918 und spezielle Schulformen, wie die Leipziger Waldschule oder die jüdische Carlebachschule. Schaudepots enthalten unter anderem mehr als 1500 Schulwandbilder, sowie Lehrmaterialien zum Physik-, Chemie- und Biologieunterricht und ein Kleinplanetarium vom Typ ZKP 1. Zudem gibt es einen nachgebauten Karzer.

Der zweite Abschnitt zum Zeitraum 1933–1989 ist der Stellung der Schule während der NS-Zeit und in der DDR gewidmet. Die ideologische Ausrichtung und Militarisierung der Erziehung werden ausführlich dargestellt. Beispiele des Widerstandes von Schülern und Lehrern werden dokumentiert und analysiert. Gegenstände aus dem Schulalltag der DDR im Schaudepot DDR-Schule erinnern die älteren Besucher an ihre Schulzeit.

Das Museum hat seit 2000 26 Sonderausstellungen erarbeitet, die zum Teil auch in anderen Institutionen gezeigt wurden, und bietet für Schulen noch spezielle Wanderausstellungen an.

Bibliothek und Sammlungen
Die Bibliothek des Museums ist eine Präsenzbibliothek und umfasst mehr als 25.000 Titel, darunter Schulbücher, Lehrpläne, Fachzeitschriften sowie Literatur zu Schulgeschichte und Pädagogik ab dem 18. Jahrhundert. Eine Besonderheit stellen über 250 internationale Fibeln sowie eine große Sammlung von Schulprogrammen des späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts dar.

Die Sammlungen, ebenfalls mit über 25.000 Objekten, gliedern sich in Dokumente, Utensilien und Unterrichtsmittel sowie Fotos und Filme. Zu den Dokumenten zählen unter anderem Lehrpläne, Urkunden, Zeugnisse, Abschlussarbeiten, Lehrer- und Schülerverzeichnisse, Unterrichtsvorbereitungen, Prüfungsunterlagen, Schülerarbeiten, Chroniken, Tagebücher und Kalender. In der zweiten Gruppe finden sich Schulmöbel, Schulwandbilder, Landkarten, Präparate und technische Modelle, aber auch Medien wie Schallplatten und Tonbänder sowie Utensilien von Schülern und Lehrern zum Schreiben, Rechnen und Zeichnen, nebst Kleidung, Pokalen und Auszeichnungen. Zum Filmbestand gehören Unterrichts-, Kinder- und Heimfilme im 16-mm- und 8-mm-Format aber auch VHS-Videokassetten und DVDs aus neuerer Produktion. Die Fotosammlung beinhaltet Aufnahmen von Schulen, Schülern und Lehrern sowie Bilddokumente im Kontext der Leipziger Bildungsgeschichte, aber auch von Sportveranstaltungen, Klassenfahrten, Ferienlagern und Arbeitsgemeinschaften.

Eine Objektdatenbank auf der Website der Einrichtung mit 2500 Einträgen ermöglicht die Recherche in Teilen der Museumssammlungen.

Angebote
In historisch eingerichteten Klassenzimmern können Schüler aber auch Erwachsene in Gruppen sowohl an einer rekonstruierten Unterrichtsstunde der Volksschule um 1900 als auch an einer der Polytechnischen Oberschule der DDR teilnehmen.

In Workshops, die in der Regel zwei Stunden dauern, können sich Besuchergruppen differenziert nach Schulformen und Klassenstufen vertieft mit speziellen Themen des Museums auseinandersetzen. Das Museum bietet auch Unterstützung bei der Durchführung von Projekten wie Schuljubiläen oder Festschriften dazu, der Herstellung von Filmen oder der Vorbereitung von Klassentreffen an.

There is a song, The Power of One, which conveys what one individual can accomplish and/or change. But, how much more effective is the power of two, or five, or ten, or a hundred, or more?
In a technical light, a joint venture (JV) is a partnership between two or more entities for a specific project and for a specified amount of time.
Quoting from Entrepreneurs.about.com, "According to the Commonwealth Alliance Program (CAP), businesses anticipate strategic alliances accounted for 25% of all revenues in 2005, a total of 40 trillion dollars." So, it's easy to see this strategy packs a wallop.
This is the concept behind joint ventures for book promotion, and they are very effective.
The idea is to hook up with other authors/writers and participate in JVs. What this means is an author has a new book coming out and wants to reach more than her individual mailing list and social networks, she joins forces with writer friends or acquaintances to promote the book for a ONE DAY Promotional Power-packed Special.
Suppose it's your new book; you contact one to several authors who might be willing to put your prewritten promo on their sites and social networks, and (THIS IS THE VERY IMPORTANT PART) are willing to provide a freebie or a significant discount on a product or service to any one who purchases your book on that day.
According to book marketing specialists, Brain Judd and Daniel Hall, this has the potential to put your book on Amazon's TOP HUNDRED list in one or more categories – just for one day's promo.
Even participating in JVs has promotional benefits. I recently participated in a JV initiated by an author for her new book. For my participation I offered a FREE bonus gift, How to Create an Ebook and What You Can Do With It.
I posted her promo content, along with my own, because I like to show my readers the marketing value in particular posts such as these. I then promoted the post to my social networks.
For a little effort and time, you can increase your visibility and possibly your subscriber list.
To have your participation be more effective, be sure to provide your links and offer your own products within your free offering. And, to create added value, you can allow the freebie to be shared, or portions of it reprinted with your tag/bio.
Another scenario for book promotion JVs, in fact a more popular one, is to be approached by publicists. This has happened to me several times and I usually participate for the visibility factor. The publicist will put out a wide reaching call for participants for his client. Obviously, the more on board the greater the promotional reach and punch. But, even on a small scale, this marketing strategy is a gem.
I couldn't agree more, Karen. Too many beginning wrters think competitively instead of cooperatively. I hope this important post gets around. I'm tweeting for sure!
I haven't yet finished with my WIP but can still think of promotional offers I could make--complimentary editing notes on a first chapter for instance.
All best wishes for the MG Fantasy Adventure--Walking Through Walls. Love the title.
This is a really interesting post which I shall also be sharing online.
Intriguing marketing information. I'm definitely interested in JV Partnership!
Great article on joint ventures and how to market it, thank you very much.
Thank you very much for sharing this article on marketing, I definitely believe in your idea as well.

Q: Composition of multivariate functions. How can I understand a theorem about the composition of two functions:
$g = \gamma: I \subset \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$
$f: \mathbb{R}^m \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$
if it looks like this:
$d(f \circ \gamma)(t_0) = df(\gamma(t_0))d\gamma(t_0)=\langle\nabla f(\gamma(t_0)), \gamma^{\prime}(t_0)\rangle$
Isn't $d(f \circ \gamma)(t_0)$ just another way to write $df(\gamma(t_0))$? How can I understand this notation?

A: No. For a function $f:\mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^m$, the differential takes in two inputs
$$df:\mathbb R^n \times \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^m$$
It's linear in the second, but not normally linear in the first.
$$d(f\circ \gamma)(t_0) $$
Is the differential of $f\circ \gamma$ evaluated at $t_0$. One argument remains unevaluated, the result is a linear map $\mathbb R\to\mathbb R^m$.
$$df(\gamma(t_0))$$
Is the differential of $f$ evaluated at $\gamma(t_0)$. Again this is a linear map. But it takes in a vector. This vector would be the result of $d\gamma(t_0)$ applied to a real number, but this is not yet given. The final result $d(f\circ \gamma)(t_0) d\gamma(t_0) $ is a linear map $\mathbb R \to \mathbb R^m$.
The final equality is by a basic version of Riesz Representation - the linear map is the same as matrix multiplication with a certain row vector, and that vector is written out for you there.
PS in dimension one, $df(x)(h)$ is the multiplication of real numbers $f'(x)h. $ Here it's clear that the two terms you are asking about is different, and the stated equality is a generalisation of chain rule from highschool.

A: Now, I think I get where maybe your confusions lies. As pointed out in the comment above, more brackets might be helpful.
So, since $(f \circ \gamma)(t_0) = (f(\gamma(t_0))$ is a composition of two functions, when taking the derivative you need the chain rule. Now you need to be aware of what each $d$ refers two. In the expression $d(f\circ \gamma)(t_0) = d(f(\gamma(t_0)))$ the differential is still to be taking with the chain rule which gives
$$
d(f \circ \gamma)(t_0) = (df)(\gamma (t_0)) \circ (d\gamma)(t_0),
$$
where now the differentials (or total derivatives) are only with respect to one function.
So $(df)(\gamma(t_0)$ is to read as, the differential $df$ evaluated at point $\gamma(t_0)$.
Now, since we are in $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{R}^n$ respectively, (and everything is smooth enough, e.g. the total derivatives exists, I assume) you can identify the differential with the jacobian matrix, where the composition $\circ$ becomes a Matrix Matrix multiplication - which in your case you expressed it with a scalar product.
