Zuku TV Acquires Rights for Popular Ugandan TV Series
by Robert August 25, 2011, 5:24 PM 1.5k Views 1 Comment
Zuku TV has today announced that it was ramping up its roll out in Uganda with the acquisition of broadcast rights for a hugely popular Ugandan TV Drama series, Hostel. Richard Bell, Chief Executive Officer of Wananchi Group (Zuku TV holding company ) confirmed that the Zuku TV has secured broadcast rights for airing the national football match between Uganda Cranes and the Iraqi national team.
Both teams are set to play a friendly match in preparations for their FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The match will be exclusively aired under the Zuku Sports menu on Friday August 26th at 9.30 pm East African time. The match is historical to the Iran because it will be their first home fixture in nearly ten years.
The match is scheduled to be staged in the northern city of Arbil at the 28,000 capacity Franso Hariri Stadium.
"This is the first of a series of exciting live viewing and event coverage that we are going to be showing on our platform as we seek to be the preferred home entertainment provider," he said noting that it demonstrated the Zuku TV commitment towards delivering valuable content.
Bell noted that Zuku TV had now reached a holistic national rollout phase in Uganda after a highly successful pilot and soft launch phases.
He noted that Zuku TV would also air UBC, NTV Uganda and Bukudde TV initially as the free to air channels that will be available as Ugandan content but pointed out that the potential for growth of a locally produced content industry remained large.
"Uganda's pay TV market penetration is still under 1% which presents a huge growth sector for Zuku TV. We believe that Pay TV today is what mobile phone telephony was nearly a decade ago and as we witness a growing middle class, there is definitely hunger for valuable, affordable home entertainment," he said adding that the population of households with television sets was expected to hit the 9.6 million mark in 2015.
In addition to pricing the Zuku TV offering in local currency the Zuku TV decoders are designed to be used in places without electricity.
"Zuku TV decoders are designed to use DC electrical supply from a used car battery," Bell added.

Tesla Model Y Will Be Manufactured In Fremont, CA Or Sparks, NV
Tesla will reveal its final decision regarding its Model Y production line location in just a few weeks.
Tesla has yet to reveal where it will begin production of its upcoming Model Y crossover. There's been talk about setting up the lines at the company's Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada. However, more recently, it was reported that the automaker is considering Fremont as an option as well.
Additional Tesla Model Y Coverage:

Tesla Model Y Comparison: Range, Performance, Options, Prices
During Tesla's Q1 2019 earnings conference call, CEO Elon Musk elaborated just a bit on the situation. He shared that both sites are viable options, but the final decision hasn't been made. Fortunately, he also said that we'll know Tesla's choice in just a few weeks.
Gigafactory 1 appears to be a solid option since Tesla has an almost unlimited amount of space inside the structure, as well as the potential to further expand the building itself. Not to mention the property in terms of "grounds" is sprawling.
Gallery: 2020 Tesla Model Y
Tesla's Fremont factory is currently maxed out, so much so that the automaker has resorted to building Model 3 vehicles in a tent. As Musk has pointed out, the tent is not a traditional tent, but rather a "sprung structure." Clearly, if Tesla decides to build the Model Y in Fremont, it's likely that more sprung structures will be needed.

Musk joked during the call that he's a fan of hardcore tents. While many media outlets poked fun at Tesla when it first announced its "in tents" operation, thus far it appears to be working out well for the automaker. Still, most people would probably agree that an actual, permanent solution in Nevada would be a better option. However, going that route likely means it could take Tesla much more time to get production off the ground.

Jay Leno Reviews The BAC Mono: Video
Cars News BAC BAC Mono Convertible Video Sports cars Jay leno garage
by Richard Rowe, on March 16, 2015, 18:00
Would-be racers the world over have had a dream for as long as there were dreams to have: A real, legitimate Formula One car for the street. Many have tried and failed (often in flames) to bring the Formula experience to public highways. Those that haven't caught fire broke down. Those that didn't break down crashed from lack of downforce, and those that didn't crash never got driven because they rode like a pile of rocks in an avalanche. It seems, though, Britain's BAC has finally cracked the code on bringing us true open-wheel fun for the street, without the nightmares of endeavors gone by.
In this video, Jay Leno test drives one of the first BAC Monos to reach our shores. Britain has enjoyed the Mono since 2011, and almost immediately The Stig chose it as his personal Car of the Year. Some say it's because the Mono's face reminds him of his mother's. Others say it's because it's the second fastest street car ever to lap the track, behind Pagani's Huayra. All we know is, it's one Hell of an automobile — even if this "Formula One Car for the Street" is a lie, but an utterly brilliant, perfect one.
Continue reading about this beast.
Video: BAC Mono vs BAC Mono at Spa-Francorchamps
BAC Mono
The video opens as Jay explains what makes the Mono different from most other supercars: the lack of a second seat. That seems like a rather relevant omission for a $200,000 automobile, but perhaps it would have been $400,000 doubling the number of seats. Still, the idea isn't unprecedented, as Jay mentions the original Gordon Murray Rocket. Like the Mono, it was a single-seater, with all the racing style and drawbacks you'd expect. Prime among drawbacks is that, unlike two-seat track cars like the Lotus Exige, you can't scare your friends to death driving them around the track.
So, what's the rationale? Why make it a single-seater? Weight? Balance? Race personality? Sort of. American BAC distributor, President of Sector 111 Imports Shinoo Mapleton sheds a little more light on BAc's thinking.
"[BAC] really wanted to focus on a single-seater. Obviously, the two-seat space is, ah, pretty crowded with great cars. And there's very, very few single-seat cars."
In other words, "It's a lot easier to compete against Ariel and Caterham than Ferrari."
Further on in the video, we get into the Mono's specs, starting with the 280 horsepower Cosworth pulled from the Mono's 2.3-liter Ford Duratec engine. That should be some source of pride for us Americans...and it probably {}would be, if not for the fact that the Duratec was actually designed by Mazda and produced in Mexico. In this application, the Japanese-Mexican engine mates to a Hewland six-speed semi-auto sequential with pneumatic shifting and howling straight-cut gears.
Obviously, 280 horsepower isn't a massive amount, but it's plenty to push a car that weighs under 1,500 pounds to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Which, if you're keeping track, is only a few tenths off of an actual F1 car's pace.
That's especially impressive considering a little off-the-cuff exchange between Jay and Shinoo at about the 4:20 mark. Discussing the car's fuel tank size and range, Shinoo says "just under ten gallons," and "about 200 miles." So, this blazing little track car with acceleration to match anything on the planet can do so while delivering about 20 mpg. Try pulling that one off, Ferrari.
Discussing the car's styling and architecture, Shinoo mentions the seating position — a recumbent posture that wouldn't be unfamiliar to anyone who's ever fallen asleep in a recliner. That pays exactly the dividends you'd expect on the road too, as even Jay's aged posterior finds the Mono's cockpit perfectly suitable for long-distance cruising.
That in itself is something of a triumph. While one or two manufacturers have managed to deliver an F1 experience in a road car before, the penalty with all others (aside from bursting into flame or crashing) has been a driving experience you wouldn't wish on a hated dog. In this case, though, even Jay seems surprised by the Mono's on-road comfort. He says he could easily see driving the car on a road trip, provided you ship your toothpaste in advance. That's an incredible testament to the Mono's engineering philosophy...and it also gives a hint as to the dirty little secret of the Mono's success.
It isn't the "Formula One Car for the Road" that BAC says it is.
There's a reason nobody's ever managed this trick before — building an open-wheel Formula car that didn't explode, crash or beat the driver to death. F1 cars crash at low speed because they need downforce to handle; this car doesn't. They need ultra-stiff suspensions to provide the absolute highest levels of grip. This car doesn't. They have highly strung, living-on-a-knife-edge engines, which require all of the life support and intensive care that most people do after driving those exact cars for more than three minutes. The BAC Mono doesn't. Because it's not an Formula One car for the road.
It's a Formula 3 Car for the road.
Look at the size and overall proportions. Note the driver's position, and the size of the tires. Note most of all that the 2.3-liter Cosworth Duratec is very similar in spec and displacement to the engines used in the Formula Ford F3 series. The Mono is, in these ways and many more, a Formula 3 car. A "beginner's series" spec racer, meant not for winning world championships, but for providing neophyte drivers all the fun and experience of the big leagues, without all the death, danger and expense. In that respect, F3 is a brilliant match for exactly the kind of car weekend racers really need, if not the one they've convinced themselves they can handle.
So, nevermind any of BAC's talk about having designed an F1 car for the road. They've done something much, much smarter than that.
They've simply built a car that they know people can use.
And it works.
Thanks to those ever-pragmatic Brits at BAC, we in America finally have a real, practical, useable Formula racer for the street.

Q: Determinant of a polynomial We know that polynomials are a vector space, as they are non-empty, have the elements $1$, $0_V$, an additive inverse and define an operation $\times : \mathbb{K} \times V \to V$ and $+ : V \times V \to V$.
The basis of the polynomial vector space $\mathbb{R}[X]$ is the set $\{1,X,X^2,X^3,...,X^n\}$ (assuming that all polynomials have the maximum degree of $n$.
One could define a isomorphic function $\Phi:V \to V : f \mapsto 4f-3$.As this function is a linear function, one could assume that one could calculate the Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors etc. of $\Phi$ -- just as we do it for 'regular' vector space transformations $\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^m$.
However, while starting to calculate, I got stuck on one question: How do I calculate the characteristic polynomial of $\Phi$?
I of course know the formula $CP_\Phi(λ)=\text{det}(\Phi-λ)$, but it does not get me very far in this case, as I do not know how to calculate the determinant of a polynomial (remember, that $\Phi$ is a polynomial in this case).
Should I transform $\Phi$ into a representation matrix $A_\phi$ and solve $\text{det}(A_\Phi-λ)$ instead? What would be the elements of this matrix? Should I take the polynomial basis $\langle 1,X,X^2,...\rangle$?
I have the feeling that I am near the goal, but that I have missed something obvious or trivial.
Disclaimer: English is not my native language, do please forgive any 'wrong' technical term.

EDIT №1:
See my answer for explanation of my errors.

A: I just realized my mistakes:

first error: $\Phi(f)=4f-3$ is an affine transformation, not a linear one. (Thanks @Bernard)
second one:
I have to view polynomials $f\in V$ as vectors, e.g.:
Let $g(X):=4X^2-8X+2$
and $\Phi:V \to V : (aX^2+bX+c)\mapsto -2bX^2-(c+3b)X+4a$
$g$ can be represented as $\vec{v}_g:=(4, -8, 2)^T$.
$\Phi$ can be represented as
$A_\Phi:=\begin{bmatrix}0 & -2 & 0\\0 & -3 & -1\\4 & 0 & 0\end{bmatrix}$.
The calculation of $\Phi(g)$ can be written as $A_\Phi * \vec{v}_g$ which would yield the result $(16, -22, 16)^T$ corresponding to the correct 'output' polynomial of $\Phi(g):x\mapsto 16X^2-22X+16$.
Calculating the determinant and characteristic polynomial etc. can be done with the matrix $A_\Phi$ and is a piece of cake ;)

A: Yes, you need to put it in the canonical base of polynomials.
In general, a polynomial can be viewed as a matrix in the space of polynomials.

normalize.css The new reset stylesheet, pre-base

What is it?

Normalize.css is a customizable CSS file that makes browsers render all elements more consistently and in line with modern standards. We researched the differences between default browser styles in order to precisely target only the styles that need normalizing.

What does it do?

Preserves useful defaults, unlike many CSS resets.

Normalizes styles for a wide range of elements.

Corrects bugs and common browser inconsistencies.

Improves usability with subtle improvements.

Explains what code does using detailed comments.

Browser Support

Google Chrome

Mozilla Firefox 3+

Apple Safari 4+

Opera 10+

Internet Explorer 6+

Oh snap!

  			  	This is just for documentation purposes, normalize.css is part of our core and therefore is not something that can be modified for specific websites. If one needs to overwrite a rule from this sans-resets stylesheet, it will be written in the Authored section of the cascading stylesheet.

Clearfix Helper class

.clearfix {}

Adding .clearfix to an element will ensure that it always fully contains its floated children. There have been many variants of the clearfix hack over the years,this micro clearfix helper class to be the best solution for our sites.

Line 2 .clearfix:before, .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; } : This rule is understood by all browsers except for IE6/7. It generates a pseudo-element before and after the content of the element that contains floats. Setting display: table creates an anonymous table-cell and a new block formatting context. This acts to prevent top-margin collapse and improve the consistency between modern browsers and IE6/7.

Line 6 .clearfix:after { clear: both; } : Makes the :after pseudo-element clear the floated children of this element, thereby making the element expand to contain the floats.

Line 9 .lt-ie8 .clearfix { zoom: 1; } : Create new block formatting context in IE6/7 by triggering hasLayout

How to use appropriately

This is is a solution that is to be added to the containing HTML tag, or element, that has a background image on it. Adding .clearfix to a div that has a background image that needs to contain floated elements inside of it will make the background image properly span the height of the contained elements.

Example Code

HTML

<div class="container-16 clearfix">
…
</div><!-- END .container-16 .clearfix -->

CSS

/* Contain floats: h5bp.com/q */
.clearfix:before, .clearfix:after {
content: "";
display: table;
}
.clearfix:after {
clear: both;
}
.lt-ie8 .clearfix {
zoom: 1;
}

Heads up!

The HTML code below is considered a deprecated practice, and is how not to use this .clearfix class.

Line 4 .clearfix used on a div element solely for the purpose of making a background image span the height of the contained content is unacceptable.

<div class="container-12">
<div class="grid-6">… content &hellop;</div><!-- END .grid-6 -->
<div class="grid-6">… content &hellop;</div><!-- END .grid-6 -->
<div class="clearfix"><!-- This Presentational Markup Not Required --></div><!-- END .clearfix -->
</div><!-- END .container-12 -->

Hidden, Visually Hidden, Invisible Helper classes

.hidden {}

Add the .hidden class to any elements that you want to hide from all presentations, including screen readers. It could be an element that will be populated later with JavaScript or an element you will hide with JavaScript. Do not use this for SEO keyword stuffing. That is just not cool.

Line 3 display: none !important : Ensure that elements remain hidden even when their display property is set in selectors with a specificity greater than or equal to the .hidden selector.

Line 4 visibility: hidden : Only included to avoid possible edge-cases in Window-Eyes screenreader where text is read out even when display: none is used. Source

.visuallyhidden {}

Add the .visuallyhidden class to hide text from browsers but make it available for screen readers. You can use this to hide text that is specific to screen readers but that other users should not see. About invisible content, Hiding content for accessibility, HTML5 Boilerplate issue/research

Line 3 border: 0 :

Line 4 clip: rect(0 0 0 0) :

Line 5 height: 1px :

Line 6 margin: -1px :

Line 7 overflow: hidden : Prevent any content overflow

Line 8 padding: 0 :

Line 9 position: absolute : Remove from the flow of the document

Line 10 width: 1px :

.invisible {}

Add the .invisible class to any element you want to hide without affecting layout. When you use display: none the element would effectively be removed from the layout (width = 0, height = 0), in some cases, you want the element to simply remain invisible while occupying the width and height that it has.

Examples would be, having a form element that is hidden until another choice is selected (or having select dropdowns disappear in IE if over flash), Containers for tabbed navigation to occupy space, even when invisible, making advertisements invisible while a video is played in a modal window and the screen behind is darkened.

If you need the layout to not shift when you show/hide an element, this would be a class you would add/remove.

/* Hide from both screenreaders and browsers: h5bp.com/u */
.hidden {
display: none !important;
visibility: hidden;
}

/* Hide only visually, but have it available for screenreaders: h5bp.com/v */
.visuallyhidden {
border: 0;
clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
height: 1px;
margin: -1px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
}

/* Extends the .visuallyhidden class to allow the element to be focusable when navigated to via the keyboard: h5bp.com/p */
.visuallyhidden.focusable:active,
.visuallyhidden.focusable:focus {
clip: auto;
height: auto;
margin: 0;
overflow: visible;
position: static;
width: auto;
}

/* Hide visually and from screenreaders, but maintain layout */
.invisible {
visibility: hidden;
}

Super Example all styles and short explainations

<div class="container-12">
<div class="grid-7 prefix-1">
  <div class="grid-2 alpha">
    <h1 class="hidden">This will be hidden from everything including screen readers</h1>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-3">
    <h2 class="visuallyhidden">This will be hidden for browsers but available for screen readers</h2>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-2 omega">
    <h3 class="invisible">This is hidden and will not affect layout, in other words the height and width will still exist but visually this content will not be seen. Useful for JavaScript calls to certain content so as not to change the layout height. </h3>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="grid-3 suffix-1">
  <h4 class="visuallyhidden focusable">This has the same properties as .visuallyhidden however adds a few more screen reader keyboard functions</h4>
</div>
</div>

Image Replacement Replacing content with an image for visual effect

.ir {}

Add the .ir class to any element you are applying image-replacement to. Be sure to include background-image: url('pathtoimage.png'); for that specific element so that image replacement can occur.

Line 4 border: 0 : Remove the default border from elements like button

Line 5 font: 0/0 a : Crush the text down to take up no space

Line 6 text-shadow: none : Remove any text shadows

Line 7 color: transparent : Hide any residual text in Safari 4 and any mobile devices that may need it

Line 8 background-color: transparent : Hide the default background color on elements like button

/* For image replacement */
.ir {
border: 0;
font: 0/0 a;
text-shadow: none;
color: transparent;
background-color: transparent;
}

Mindfull Tip! This can be useful for headers that have heavy design elements where using an image makes sense. Do not over use this helper-class, although it is very useful it may not be the right answer all the time. Be mindfull, think of whether or not this would be useful for someone with a screen reader, or if a particular HTML tag would benefit from the SEO value before using.

Code Example

<footer class="container-12">
<a class="grid-6">
  <h1 class="ir">Fred Andrew Dunsing</h1>
</a><!-- END .grid-6 -->
</footer><!-- .container-12 -->

If we look at the HTML above we see the .ir class added to a level one heading. This is an example where we have a logo that we cannot match in HTML and requires an image. We have created a anchor link for that logo to go back to the home page, as most logos do when clicked, and put an .ir on the h1 and now we need to write some CSS to make this work. Check to see the height and width of your logo, and place that in the CSS for that h1 tag along with the background image.

CSS This is all that is needed to make this image replacement work.

footer h1.ir {
background: transparent url('img/logo.png') no-repeat center top;
width: 460px;
height: 122px;
}

Print Styles Some defaults and a starter kit

Inline Not in a separate stylesheet

Print styles are inlined to reduce the number of page requests.

We strip all background colors and change the font color to dark gray and remove text-shadow. This saves your printer's ass.

Anchors do not need colors to indicate they are linked. They are underlined to indicate so.

Anchors and Abbreviations are expanded to indicate where users reading the printed page can refer to.

But we do not want to show link text for image replaced elements (given that they are primarily images).

Paged Media Styles

Paged media is supported only in a few browsers.

Paged media support means browsers would know how to interpret instructions on breaking content into pages and on orphans/widows.

We use page-break-inside: avoid; to prevent an image and table row from being split into two different pages, so use the same page-break-inside: avoid; for that as well.

Headings should always appear with the text they are titles for. So, we ensure headings never appear in a different page than the text they describe by using page-break-after: avoid;.

We also apply a default margin for the page specified in cm.

We do not want orphans and widows to appear on pages you print. So, by defining orphans: 3 and widows: 3 you define the minimal number of words that every line should contain.

CSS Code

@media print {
* { background: transparent !important; color: black !important; box-shadow:none !important; text-shadow: none !important; filter:none !important; -ms-filter: none !important; } /* Black prints faster: h5bp.com/s */
a, a:visited { text-decoration: underline; }
a[href]:after { content: " (" attr(href) ")"; }
abbr[title]:after { content: " (" attr(title) ")"; }
.ir a:after, a[href^="javascript:"]:after, a[href^="#"]:after { content: ""; }  /* Don't show links for images, or javascript/internal links */
pre, blockquote { border: 1px solid #999; page-break-inside: avoid; }
thead { display: table-header-group; } /* h5bp.com/t */
tr, img { page-break-inside: avoid; }
img { max-width: 100% !important; }
@page { margin: 0.5cm; }
p, h2, h3 { orphans: 3; widows: 3; }
h2, h3 { page-break-after: avoid; }
}

Media Queries Starter kit for responsive web breakpoints

This boilerplate makes it easy to get started with a "Mobile First" and Responsive Web Design approach to development. But it's worth remembering that there are no silver bullets.

We include a placeholder Media Query to build up your mobile styles for wider viewports. It is recommended that you adapt these Media Queries based on the content of your site rather than mirroring the fixed dimensions of specific devices.

/* ==|== media queries ======================================================
 EXAMPLE Media Query for Responsive Design.

@media only screen and (min-width: 35em) {

Exploring the maker-industrial revolution: Will the future of production be local?
A Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy (BRIE) Working Paper 2016-7 by Anna Waldman Brown, originally published here.
"Many believe that modern technologies such as 3D printers, sensors, and networking capabilities provide an unprecedented opportunity to support a renewal of localized production – especially when combined with "Maker Movement" trends toward customization, user engagement, local and small-batch production, and reparability. Others are unconvinced, and instead forecast increased efficiency in high volume production and global supply chains. Let us state the core questions: will either the Maker Movement or these dramatic new technologies fundamentally influence the basic structures of market competition? Or, will this all be merely an interesting but marginal blip along the road as the technologies themselves are absorbed into automated high volume production? What are the clues? What do decision-makers across industry and policy need to know in order to properly evaluate this potential?
With this paper, we look beyond the revolutionary rhetoric of the Maker Movement in an attempt to consider its effects on a more practical level. We define the Maker Movement (also known as the Do-It-Yourself or Fab Movement) as a crusade for more accessible design and creation – incorporating a mix of new technologies, philosophies, and business models. This Movement is especially tied to the concepts of digital fabrication, public access to tools through community workshops (Fab Labs, hackerspaces, makerspaces, repair cafés, TechShops, etc.), the Internet of Everything/interconnected devices, and Jeremy Rifkin's concept of the "zero marginal cost society." We employ a vague definition here because the concept itself is nebulous and ill-defined; depending upon whom one asks, this Movement is a "bourgeois pass-time," the "new industrial revolution, "the future of interdisciplinary education, the impetus for a wealth of new hardware startups, and/or yet another overhyped and impossible vision of techno-utopia.
This essay will focus upon whether or not the Maker Movement might substantially disrupt traditional manufacturing, or alternatively at least create an enduring niche position in evolving manufacturing. Part I examines this from three perspectives: (1) Redistributed Production, (2) Personalized Fabrication, and (3) After-Market Repair and Customization.
By contrast, there are a group of skeptical realists who recognize possibilities, but consider that the impact of the tools and the Maker Movement will be more restrained. They tend to step past the Maker rhetoric around "democratization," doubtful that this is an attainable or reasonable objective. Skeptical realists argue that, despite some impact on marketing strategies, products, and factory tools, the Maker Movement will not lead to radical changes in systems of production or current power structures; 3D printers, other digital fabrication tools, and open-source technologies have already been in use for decades without forcing any substantial shifts to production models. High-volume manufacturers already produce small batches of customized pens and T-shirts featuring company logos, so skeptics believe that the addition of more complex, customizable elements would likely follow the same traditional manufacturing model. Although many new micro-enterprises have arguably emerged as a direct result of the Maker Movement and related technologies, the skeptics don't believe that the cumulative effect of these businesses will significantly affect the current high-volume manufacturing paradigm – which, by most calculations, is extraordinarily cost-effective for both consumers and corporations.

I recently discovered that the American Continent is the Economic Babylon of Revelation 18..
We will go through a FALSE FLAG NUCLEAR attack coming on US soil soon. Canada will not be spared but will have less damage than US. If you have money, get out the American Continent now.
Time to spiritually and physically prepare instead of shooting the messenger as this will be more profitable for you to do so.
The stage has been set for a nuclear false flag in America.

Not that I look forward to his murder/execution, (I don't) but I am being realistic to have in mind that he is of old age. God says in his word to not rejoice that anybody dies, no matter how evil this person is so please do not consider this as opportunism because in fact, I had been taken advantage of by a real opportunist who wants to put his name on my book and sell it! That's why I am being aggressive to sell this book first IS ALL.
The Bible teaches that God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Ezekiel 33:11, "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel." If we are to be Christlike, then we must not rejoice in the death of the unsaved. It is a sad thing when someone dies and goes into Hell.
To the smartest and best offer!
The Pope will die within the next 12 months, a senior Vatican figure has reportedly claimed amid fears of an assassination plot.
The sensational prediction was allegedly made by Cardinal Paolo Romeo, the archbishop of Palermo in Sicily, on a recent visit to China.
Cardinal Romeo reportedly made the startling prediction of the Pope's death during a trip to China in November 2011.
He seemed so sure of the fact that the people he spoke with, including Italian businessmen and Chinese representatives of the Catholic Church, were convinced that he was talking about an assassination attempt.
They were so alarmed by his remarks that they reported them back to the Vatican.
The Vatican has reportedly opened an investigation into the claims.
The report was written in German, apparently to limit the number of people within the Vatican who would understand it if it was inadvertently leaked.
It warns of a "Mordkomplott" – death plot – against Benedict.
The story was broken on Friday by an Italian daily, Il Fatto Quotidiano, with the headline "Plot against the Pope – he will die within 12 months".
The newspaper, which has a reputation for scoops, published a page from the confidential report.
"During his talks in China, Cardinal Romeo predicted the death of Benedict XVI within 12 months. His remarks were expressed with such certainty and resolution that the people he was speaking to thought, with a sense of alarm, that an attack on the Pope's life was being planned," the paper reported.
"It is so outside of reality that it should not be given any consideration," Romeo was quoted by Italian news agency ANSA as saying.
The Vatican's spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, said the report was "so incredible that we cannot comment on it".
He did not deny the existence of the document to AFP, but added that it was "devoid of reality".
Cardinal Romeo also named Benedict's XVI likely successor as Cardinal Angelo Scola, the archbishop of Milan – meaning the papacy would return to an Italian after the German Benedict and his Polish predecessor, John Paul II.
He allegedly told his contacts in China that Pope Benedict could not stand Tarcisio Bertone, his Secretary of State and the Vatican's second most senior figure, amid reports of bitter power struggles going on within the Holy See.
Cardinal Romeo said Benedict viewed Cardinal Scola as his ideal successor because they had similar personalities and theological outlooks.
Cardinal Scola was previously the Patriarch of Venice, but was promoted to the archbishopric of Milan by Benedict in June last year.
The most recent attempt on a pope's life was in 1981 when John Paul II was shot and critically wounded in St Peter's Square by Mehmet Ali Agca, a Turkish gunman with links to a shadowy militant group called the Grey Wolves.
It has been claimed that the assassination attempt was backed by the KGB and Bulgarian secret service, in retaliation for the pope's support for the pro-democracy Solidarity movement in his native Poland and his opposition to Communism.

Q: Why does UMDH to report "failed to enumerate process modules"? When running UMDH on a process on Windows 7, I only get a response of "failed to enumerate process modules".  Dumps work fine when the process is initially executing, but fail when the memory usage increases.  The exact point of failure is unclear, and the error doesn't give any hints.

A: The target process had the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag turned on.  It would appear that once the allocations went over the 2G memory space, UMDH reported "failed to enumerate process modules".  I solved this issue by adding the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag (using editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE umdh.exe -- editbin is a Visual Studio tool (c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\editbin.exe, for me)).  After adding the flag, the dumps from UMDH were successful.

In der Nähe der westaustralischen Stadt Cervantes befindet sich der Nambung-Nationalpark (engl. Nambung National Park). Er erstreckt sich 245 km nördlich von Perth entlang der Swan Coastal Plain. Es ist ein Park der IUCN-Kategorie II und wird vom Department of Conservation and Land Management verwaltet.

Hauptattraktion des Nationalparks sind die bis zu vier Meter hohen verwitterten Kalksteinsäulen, die "Pinnacles"; er ist deshalb auch unter dem Namen Pinnacles Desert bekannt, welche aber nur einen vier Quadratkilometer kleinen Teil des Nationalparks ausmacht.

Landschaft
Der Nationalpark liegt in einem dreiteiligen Dünensystem; diese Dünen markieren die früheren Küstenlinien des Indischen Ozeans.

Die jüngste Linie, die am nächsten zum Meer liegt, sind die Quindalup-Wanderdünen aus weißem, kalkreichem Sand. Sie sind von Heidevegetation mit lila blühenden Bodendeckern (blue fanflower, pigface) umgeben.

Das zweite System weiter im Landesinneren sind die Spearwood-Dünen. Gelblich-bräunlicher Quarzsand überlagert hier den älteren Kalkstein verfestigter früherer Dünen. In diesem System entstanden die Pinnacles. Umgeben ist das Dünengebiet von Banksia- und Dryandra-Buschland.

Die dritte, älteste und am weitesten vom Meer entfernte Dünenlinie sind die Bassendean woodlands. Auf dem an Silizium reichen Sand wachsen strauchhohe Banksia und Tuarts, eine kleinwüchsige Eukalyptus-Art.

Tierwelt
Die meisten Tierarten im Nambung-Nationalpark sind nachtaktiv. Das Graue Riesenkänguru und der Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) werden gelegentlich auch am Tag gesehen.

An Reptilien-Arten sind der Tannenzapfenskink und die giftige Westliche Braunschlange verbreitet. Seltener ist in den unzugänglichen Buschgebieten des Nationalparks die Teppichpython.

Über 90 Vogelarten sind entlang der Swan Coastal Plain heimisch, beispielsweise der Blaubrust-Staffelschwanz, der Pfeifhonigfresser, der Keilschwanzadler und der Australische Gleitaar.

The Pinnacles
Die das mittlere Dünensegment dominierenden, charakteristischen Kalksteinsäulen entstanden durch Pflanzenwuchs vor etwa 500.000 bis 50.000 Jahren auf der aus Quarzsand bestehenden Wanderdüne. Deren Wurzeln drangen tief in die ältere, sich zeitgleich verfestigende Tamala-Kalksteinschicht vor. Dabei durchbrachen sie an brüchigen Stellen zunächst eine extrem harte Kalksteinkruste, die durch nach unten sickernde Säuren (gebildet aus Humus, abgestorbenen Pflanzen und Tieren) entstanden war. Unter dieser Kruste verfestigte sich der Kalkstein besonders kompakt zwischen den eingedrungenen Pflanzenwurzeln, da diese Bereiche viel Wasser aufsogen.

Die quarzsandhaltige Wanderdüne zog jährlich ca. 2,5 m weiter, die frei liegende Kalksteinschicht war der Erosion ausgesetzt, die innerhalb der letzten 20.000 Jahre abgestorbene Vegetation hinterließ Lücken, in die Quarzsand eindrang, der dann wiederum abgetragen wurde. Nur die extrem harten Bereiche der durch viel Wasser zementierten Kalksteinschicht waren von der Erosion nicht betroffen. Diese sehen wir heute als Pinnacles. Gelegentlich zeugen Kappen auf den Säulen noch von der Kruste.

Wo die unterirdische Vegetation vollständig vom harten, erosionsunfähigen Kalkstein umschlossen wurde, entstanden versteinerte Pflanzenwurzeln.

Eine ca. 4 km lange Sandpiste erschließt das Gebiet; ein erhöht liegender Aussichtspunkt (Pinnacles Lookout) ermöglicht einen Überblick über die unterschiedlich gestalteten kleineren und größeren Formationen.

Zugang
Der Nationalpark war bis zum September 2010 mit normalen Fahrzeugen nur von Norden über Cervantes zu erreichen. Die Anfahrt von Süden über Lancelin und Grey war nur mit einem Allrad-Fahrzeug möglich. Für die teils sandige, teils felsige und rund 65 Kilometer lange Piste mit einigen Anstiegen brauchte man mindestens drei Stunden. Es war erforderlich, den Reifendruck mehrfach dem Gelände anzupassen.

Im Herbst 2010 wurde die Asphaltierung des Indian Ocean Drive zwischen Lancelin und Cervantes abgeschlossen und so eine einfachere und touristisch interessantere Zufahrt zum Park ermöglicht.

Community Feedback and Final Recommendations: Restrict shooting at moving vehicles
The Office of Police Oversight reviewed current best practices, including the consensus among experts that shooting at or from moving vehicles is dangerous and rarely effective even when officers are trained. Research shows that shooting at moving vehicles is a dangerous and ineffective tactic with a high risk of injuring bystanders.
APD's current policy is silent on the issue of shooting from a moving vehicle and does not sufficiently restrict shooting at moving vehicles. Increasing restrictions on shooting at moving vehicles have been shown to contribute to a reduction in officer-involved shootings.
The Office of Police Oversight (OPO) developed final recommendations to revise the Austin Police Department's (APD) use-of-force policies. The policy areas covered in this report include restricting shooting at moving vehicles, exhausting all alternatives before using deadly force, de-escalation, duty to intervene, banning chokeholds and strangleholds, and warning before shooting.
OPO's final recommendations incorporated community feedback and compared APD's current use-of-force policies to national best practices in policing. This report concludes OPO's three-phase approach to facilitating the rewrite of APD's General Orders related to six use-of-force policy topics. The revision of the Austin Police Department's General Orders is a part of the City Council resolutions passed in June 2020.

Restrict Shooting at Moving Vehicles Office of Police Oversight Research shows that shooting at moving vehicles is a dangerous and ineffective tactic with a high risk of injuring bystanders. Campaign Zero's 8 Can't Wait initiative recommends that police departments restrict the circumstances under which officers may shoot at moving vehicles. In Resolution 95, the Austin City Council said it was the official policy of the City that "[u]se of deadly force against individuals, including persons fleeing (in vehicle or on foot), shall be limited to situations where necessary for self-defense or defense of others against an imminent deadly threat or threat of serious bodily injury, and either there were no other reasonable alternatives to prevent serious injury, or death or all reasonable alternatives have been exhausted." APD's current policy is silent on the issue of shooting from moving vehicles and does not sufficiently restrict shooting at moving vehicles. Increasing restrictions on shooting at moving vehicles has been shown to contribute to a reduction in officer-involved shootings. Click here for OPO's Phase I analysis of this policy topic. Analysis of community feedback on restricting shooting at moving vehicles 51% of respondents reported that they felt safe with the current policy on shooting at moving vehicles 56% of respondents disagreed that, under all circumstances, shooting at moving vehicles should be prohibited 47% of respondents agreed that officers should be prohibited from the act of shooting while driving or riding in a moving vehicle, while another 47% disagreed Quantitative Data Qualitative Data Over half of respondents supported the current policy for shooting at moving vehicles, and believe it should be allowed when necessary. Some respondents support shooting at moving vehicles because they believe an officer is adequately trained on this action; however, APD officers are not trained in this area. Those who expressed support for restricting shooting at moving vehicles reasoned that it can be inaccurate and unsafe due to the additional variables created by a vehicle in motion. Additionally, community members expressed concern that a moving vehicle could be perceived as a threat when, in fact, there was no threat. For example, an officer may perceive a vehicle in motion as a threat, even if it is driving away from officers and bystanders. Further, those who supported OPO's policy changes responded that there should be more guidelines within this policy, and that shooting at 16 17 18 19 20 21 Restrict Shooting at Moving Vehicles moving vehicles should be restricted except for instances when a vehicle poses immediate, life- threatening danger. Those who responded that no change was needed reasoned that a car could be used as a weapon and that situations happen too quickly to restrict officers. Additionally, those not in support of OPO's proposed changes responded that the policy change was too restrictive and that a vehicle used as a weapon could directly impact an officer's safety. Below are selected comments from community feedback: Office of Police Oversight "Re: shooting at moving vehicles, Lexipol policy manual states shots fired at and from a moving vehicle are rarely effective. Behavioral change must be more effective." "The only reason to shoot at a vehicle is if the vehicle is moving towards the officer and they should only be able to shoot at the tires to stop the vehicle from moving. If the officer feels someone's life is in danger inside the vehicle and the vehicle is moving away from the officer they should be able to shoot the tires. If my child was in a car with a kidnapper and an officer was there I would want them to stop the car. If the car is moving away from the officer, shoot the tires, if the car is moving towards the officer they should be able to shoot the tires. Shooting at tires is the best thing." "I suggest that officers can only shoot at a moving vehicle only to disable the vehicle and not to shoot at occupants of the vehicle." Restrict Shooting at Moving Vehicles Shooting at moving vehicles was not sufficiently restricted The policy was silent on the topic of shooting from moving vehicles Adopt OPO's amended recommendations OPO's preliminary review of APD's policy on shooting at moving vehicles highlighted two concerns: While the majority of community members supported APD's existing policies, many community members' responses demonstrated misunderstandings as to the effectiveness of the tactics and the current training offered to APD officers. In its Phase I report, OPO made a series of recommendations to improve APD's policies, particularly considering the fact that APD does not train officers to shoot at or from moving vehicles. The table below compares APD's current policies and OPO's proposed recommendations with Austin City Council Resolution 95, 8 Can't Wait, and best practices from leading police organizations. Office of Police Oversight Recommendations from community feedback Table 1. Comparing OPO's Proposed Recommendations and APD's Current Policy on Shooting at Moving Vehicles OPO's Proposed Recommendations APD's Current Policy Aligns with information from: Aligns with information from: *Model policies for Campaign Zero's 8 Can't Wait initiative do not address mass casualty incidents.

In fact, in June 2021, the Police Executive Research Forum published a statement doubling down on its position, which aligns with OPO's recommendations. The Police Executive Research Forum is a non-profit police research and policy organization that informs policy and training at law enforcement agencies nationwide, including APD. In particular, the Police Executive Research Forum recommends that "[a]gencies should adopt a prohibition against shooting at or from a moving vehicle unless someone in the vehicle is using or threatening deadly force by means other than the vehicle itself." OPO has analyzed the community's feedback. OPO has also considered current best practices, including the consensus among experts that shooting at or from moving vehicles is dangerous and rarely effective even when officers are trained. After examining all of this information, OPO recommends that APD adopt OPO's preliminary recommendations with the following amendment: Table 2. OPO's Preliminary and Amended Recommendation to APD's Policy on Shooting at Moving Vehicles OPO's Preliminary Recommendation GO 202.1.3(a)(1) OPO's Amended Recommendation GO 200.1.2 and GO 202.1.3(a)(1) 202.1.3 MOVING VEHICLES 200.1.2 DEFINITIONS Totality of the Circumstances- The facts and information known to the officer at the time of the incident, which serve as the basis for the officer's decision to use force. 202.1.3 MOVING VEHICLES NOTE: New OPO recommendations are shown in bold, underlined text.

McLaren F1 and Gulf Oil decide not to extend partnership
The McLaren Formula 1 team and Gulf Oil have opted not to extend their commercial partnership into the 2023 season. McLaren and Gulf Oil first came together in the last 1960s and enjoyed a partnership that ran into the 1970s, the pair enjoying an abundance of success together in F1, Can-Am and IndyCar, achieving over 40 race wins. The association was then renewed at the Le Mans 24 Hours in the 1990's, with the famous McLaren F1 GTR running in Gulf colours throughout the decade. Read also: Seidl 'far away' from blaming Ricciardo for McLaren shortfall The two companies joined forces once again in 2020 on the basis of a multi-year partnership in F1, and a high point of the pair's most recent collaboration was the one-off special powder-blue and papaya retro livery run by McLaren on its MCL35M at the 2021 Monaco Grand prix. "Our long-standing relationship with Gulf has featured throughout the history of McLaren Racing," said McLaren boss Zak Brown. "We have recorded so many iconic moments together, including our celebrated Monaco livery in 2021. "Although this feels like a natural end point to the partnership, there is always room to welcome back old friends as we have done previously." Mike Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Oil said: "We are extremely proud of what we have achieved with McLaren during our historic partnership. "While we have shared many incredible moments, including the iconic Monaco livery and our bespoke sell-out merchandise collections, the true reward came from engaging with the unparalleled passion of the fans and putting them at the heart of everything we did. "We will look back with great fondness at all the memories we made and are excited for what the future has in store."

Home/Politics/Joe Biden Nominates Rachael Rollins For US Attorney Based Solely On Racial Identity Despite Abusing Power During Road Rage Incident
Joe Biden Nominates Rachael Rollins For US Attorney Based Solely On Racial Identity Despite Abusing Power During Road Rage Incident
Yesterday President Biden decided it would be a good time to reward lawless Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael "Road Rage" Rollins by nominating her for United States Attorney. Despite being a catastrophic failure of epic proportions Biden bragged about it because it was a "historic first."
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, matters more to Democrats in 2021 than the color of your skin. That's followed closely by gender identity and who you sleep with. Far down the list somewhere is how good you actually are at your job. It's why I laugh every time I hear them whine about systemic racism, in a system that is built for incompetent people to rise to power based solely on their phenotype.
Here's the official statement about the nomination from the White House.
Rollins was chosen for her "devotion to enforcing the law?" She's most famous for being the first DA in the country to proudly announce that she would not be enforcing the law by refusing to prosecute 15 crimes, including possession of drugs with intent to sell, larceny, and shoplifting.
What about her "experiences and credentials in the the field?" She's been the DA for all of two years, and she was never a prosecutor prior to that. Sounds like "inexperienced and incompetent" is also one of the historic firsts here.
Let's not forget some of her other greatest hits in the last couple years:
Called her opponent Michael Maloney racist in a debate because he said his favorite book was Tom Sawyer
Failed to disclose that 9 of the 15 crimes she was not prosecuting were committed by her criminal siblings, including her brother who was released early from jail shortly after she took office
Attempted not to prosecute dozens of people arrested for violent protests that resulted in four Boston police officers being injured, and then blasted a judge who refused her request not to prosecute them
Went out of her way to get charges dismissed against Rod Webber, a white male from a wealthy Needham family who still lives with his mother at the age of 47, despite the fact that Rod Webber is a psychopath who does this in public

Publicly blasted the public defender's office for employing too many white people
Once said of a white US Attorney who criticized her, "I really don't have much time for more white men telling me what communities of color need, because they don't know."
Said about black people and police, "we are being murdered at will by the police"
Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Tony McDade. Christian Cooper. While we are being murdered at will by the police & their proxy, privileged racists like Amy Cooper play the victim. No more apologies. No more words. Demand action. Radical change now. Nothing less. ✊🏾
— DA Rachael Rollins (@DARollins) May 31, 2020
When the police union objected to this mischaracterization she accused them of displaying "white fragility," despite representing hundreds of black officers
You mean Anti-Police BRUTALITY. And did I somehow miss BPPA's letter denouncing the murder of George Floyd and calling for the immediate termination and prosecution of the 4 police that murdered him and/or watched and did nothing while he died? White fragility is real people. 🐴 https://t.co/Q0BQWT2n3I
— DA Rachael Rollins (@DARollins) June 2, 2020
Worked with and endorsed Monica Cannon-Grant for several years, despite being aware of several violent and racist posts made by MCG
Said that she was "exhausted" because police officers "shoot us (black people) in the street as if we were animals," stoking racial resentment and leading to riots and looting all over Boston
Had a criminal complaint filed against her by a citizen during a traffic dispute in which she got out of her car, threatened to give the woman a ticket, (which she does not have the authority to do) then illegally used her blue lights on the state owned vehicle she was using to drive her kids around to go through a red light
Compared her white female accuser to the woman who got Emmett Till murdered
Debated me on Howie Carr's show about this incident and lied several times, including claiming that she did not use her blue lights, which her victim would not know existed had she not used them
Falsely claimed that a masked white man came to her house, took something out of her trunk and aimed it at her, failing to mention that the man was a reporter from Boston 25 News and he was aiming a camera at her
Threatened to abuse the powers of her office by making up a crime in order to have this reporter arrested, and launched a racist attack against her victim by claiming that her complaint were the "rantings of a white woman"
New video by @boston25 now shows @DARollins exiting her vehicle that was being driven by a @BostonPolice and walking towards reporters. Completely contradicting her tweets about the encounter… her utter shock that the rules apply to her the same as the public is palpable… pic.twitter.com/c9dZzDPdZg
— Live Boston (@LiveBoston617) January 14, 2021
Claimed that iPhones were racist because she couldn't figure out how to change the race of the judge emoji on her phone, while ignoring several unsolved murders including an elderly black woman who was killed while sitting on her porch
Interfered in the investigation conducted by Middlesex DA Marian Ryan's office into the Mikayla Miller suicide in a county in which she does not have jurisdiction, undermining Ryan's work by suggesting to the girl's mother that her daughter was lynched by 5 white teenagers
For all of these things she was rewarded and promoted by the Biden administration, solely because she is a black woman, while claiming that her race and gender prevent people who look like her from advancing in our systemically racist society.
Rollins also attempted to prevent ICE from arresting illegal immigrants in Suffolk County courthouses, which she was later prevented from doing by an appeals court. This is noteworthy because the man she would be replacing, Andrew Lelling, took the opposite approach. Lelling charged Newton Judge Shelley Joseph in federal court after she arranged for an illegal immigrant charged with violent crimes to escape out the back door of the courthouse when she discovered that ICE agents were sitting outside her courtroom waiting to detain him. Joseph will likely have her charges dropped now and return to work. This is the type of reform and accountability the Trump appointed Lelling pushed for that Rollins wants to undo. Despite claiming to fight for the poor and powerless Rollins has consistently used her office to protect the powerful while ignoring the destructive effects of her policies on crime in Boston.
Lelling acknowledged after the Biden administration came to power that his brand of law enforcement was no longer valued.
"I think it's time to go," Lelling said. "It's a new crew at the Justice Department and their law enforcement policies may be different than the ones I would want to enforce. Knowing that the new administration is going to ask you to move on at some point, this seemed like the time to seek new challenges and go do them."
Lelling's career was wildly successful and undervalued. His other major accomplishments include:
Investigating, arresting, charging, and convicting Fall River Mayor Jasiel Correia in a marijuana license extortion scandal
Charging 31 of the most notorious gang members in Boston with racketeering, drug trafficking, crossing state lines for the purpose of prostitution (the Mann Act), firearms charges and bank fraud – something Road Rage Rollins has no intention of doing
Charging an MIT professor with passing sensitive technology information to the Chinese government – something Rollins has no intention of pursuing
Rollins primary goal as US Attorney would be to continue to protect powerful people like Shelley Joseph, while using her office to go after police officers and her political enemies, all of whom will be falsely labeled as "white supremacists" and "domestic terrorists." She has to be confirmed by the Senate, and both Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren have already said they'd vote for her, despite giving lip service to the woman Rollins victimized in December.
"District Attorney Rollins is a great choice for U.S. Attorney, and we were proud to recommend her to the Biden administration,"they said in a statement. Rollins "is a national leader on transforming the criminal justice system and shifting away from an approach based on punishment and penalization to one that combats the root causes of injustice, whether it be poverty, substance use, or racial disparity. She has prosecutorial experience, and is dedicated and committed to advancing equal justice for all, and we are certain that she will be a tremendous U.S. Attorney."
Any Republican who votes for her should be primaried.
The only thing that matters to democrats is race. If you voted for Joe Biden, then you did this. You knew that his administration would be so obsessed with identity politics that they'd appoint incompetent people like Rachael Rollins based solely on the color of their skin, and then celebrate it as a "historic first." But at least you don't have those bad tweets to worry about anymore.

On which DNA strand is TATA box present?
My book (Snustard and Simmons) mentions that TATA box is present on the non-coding DNA strand but that was for the promoter of mouse thymidine kinase gene.
I have tried to find out more information and stumbled upon these in wikipedia articles which actually said something else:
The TATA box can be an AT-rich sequence "located at a fixed distance upstream of the transcription start site. (from a paper "The RNA Polymerase II Core Promoter'')
Then (from a book: Understanding bioinformatics),
The Transcription start site is the location where transcription starts at the 5'-end of a gene sequence.
So my question is, on which strand is TATA box actually (or generally) present?
molecular-biology transcription
Tyto albaTyto alba
TATA box is a feature of organisms that have dsDNA as a genetic material. Like most dsDNA promoter elements, TATA box is basically a section of dsDNA.
However a question like "On which DNA strand is TATA box present?" depends on what you define TATA-box as.
If you go by this definition:
In molecular biology, the TATA box (also called the Goldberg-Hogness box)[2] is a DNA sequence (cis-regulatory element) found in the promoter region of genes in archaea and eukaryotes
then TATA-box is merely a DNA sequence and is just a representation of a ssDNA region. However, TATA-box is also the binding site for TBP (TATA-binding protein; part of the TFIID complex). While the recognition of DNA elements by the TFs is effectuated by the interaction of amino acid residues with DNA bases and backbone on one or both the strands, the TF binding and its activity has a stereochemistry.
Likewise, TBP also interacts with bases as well as the sugar-phosphate backbone on both the strands (Juo et al., 1996; PDB:1TGH).
Figure 2. Stereo pair drawings of the human TBP/DNA complex, with TBP at right and the sharply bent C-G-T-A-T-A-T-A-T-A-C-G duplex at left. (a) Molscript skeletal drawing (Kraulis, 1991). TBP residues that interact with the floor of the minor groove are shown in red with one-letter amino acid codes, and residues that interact with the sugar/phosphate backbone are shown in green. The coding strand of DNA is dark blue, and the non-coding strand is light blue. The two yellow-green base-pairs at bottom are the T1-A2 step that is kinked by interstitial phenylalanine residues, while the equivalent kinked step at T7-A8 is marked in orange. (b) Secondary structure diagram, with a-helices as coils and b-sheet strands as flat ribbon arrows pointing along N-to-C chain direction. Color coding as in (a).
Considering this, you can say that TATA-box is essentially a dsDNA region.
However, another twist in the story is that TBP can also activate genes with TATA-less promoters (Kamenova et al., 2014) and this is possibly facilitated by other protein partners of TBP in TFIID complex.
Our results are consistent with the model that sequence-specific TBP-DNA contacts are not important at yeast TATA-less genes and suggest that other general transcription factors or coactivator subunits are responsible for recognition of TATA-less promoters. Our results also explain why yeast TBP derivatives defective for TATA binding appear defective in activated transcription.
This, still does not contradict with the fact that TATA-promoters need TBP and the binding is on both the strands.
So, my conclusion is that TATA-box is a dsDNA element but has a polarity in its mode of action.
WYSIWYGWYSIWYG
It's probably too late, but that's what I found in a book:
''Also, by convention, the DNA regulatory sequence elements (TATA box, etc) are described in the 5′ to 3′ direction and as being on the coding strand.''
Reference: Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry, twenty-sixth edition, Chapter 37 RNA SYNTHESIS, PROCESSING, & MODIFICATION, page 345, Figure 37–5.
