Q: Snakemake can't identify the rule I'm writing a pipeline with Snakemake and the program can't identify the rule stringtie. I can't find what I'm doing wrong. I already runned the rule fastp and star, the problem is specific with the stringtie rule.

This is the output I get with the option dry-run (flag -n)

    1   grep_gtf
    2
This was a dry-run (flag -n). The order of jobs does not reflect the order of execution.

I really don't know whats going on. The same pipeline worked before.

A: In addition to Troy's comment:
You specify as input of your rule grep_gtf a directory. Since that directory probably already exists, the rule stringtie does not need to be executed before running grep_gtf.
Using a directory as input isn't really a good idea. If you need the outputs of rule stringtie before executing rule grep_gtf, i suggest you specify the output files of rule stringtie as input of rule grep_gtf.
So your rule grep_gtf should be something like:
    rule grep_gtf:
        input:
            expand(STRINGTIE_DIR + "/{sample}/{sample}Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.gtf", sample=SAMPLES)
        output:
            paths = GTF_DIR + "path_samplesGTF.txt"
        shell:
            "find {STRINGTIE_DIR} | grep .gtf > {output.paths}"

EDIT:
I think there's a bad copy/paste in rule all where there is twice STAR_DIR:
expand(STAR_DIR + STAR_DIR + "output/{sample}/{sample}Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam",sample=SAMPLES), #STAR

I also think there is a misunderstanding on the snakemake "workflow" concept. You do not need to specify the outputs of all rules in rule all. You only need to specify the last file of the workflow. Snakemake will decide which rules need to be run in order to achieve the creation of the final file. I don't really understand why your snakemake does not want to build the gtf files since you ask for them in rule all but I do see why rule grep_gtf does not need the output of rule stringtie to run.

Q: Recreating MS Windows Phone Tiltin Animation in CSS I am trying to get the "tilt-in" animation working on a little project of mine using CSS animations. Unfortunately I have not been able to port it from the MS Demo where - doubtlessly all the code is there: http://m.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/demo/default.aspx#home
I'm trying to get the tiles to fade in when the page is loaded, just that part. Once is absolutely fine. I understand that I need to define the vendor keyframes, but my attempts have been so poor that I am not pasting them in my example in jsFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/qCQQD/2/
Anyone out there who'll help me out? That would be beyond awesome!
EDIT 1:
a) I'm still trying to get the rotateRight animation running when the page is loaded. I've probably got a hacky version with leftRotate in the .tile class and that removed (and rightRotate added) on pageload.
b) This
.tile:active {
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.97);
    -moz-transform: scale(0.97);
    -o-transform: scale(0.97);
    -ms-transform: scale(0.97);
    transform: scale(0.97);
}

got super slow in Chrome because of the code added, how can I get it back to normal?
I suspect it takes some sort of timeframe from the #tile
-webkit-transition: 300ms 160ms;

It looks like a slow motion right now. I'm going to try adding something like -webkit-transition: 50ms to it. (yeah I know, total noob).

A: Basically like this.  You have it set up fairly correctly, but you just need to actually change some settings.  Check this jsfiddle DEMO out.
I'm only using javascript to add a class or remove a class.  You could simply do that sort of stuff on a :hover tag in css also it would do the same thing.
I mainly just modified your css to include a rotate(90deg) -webkit-transition.  Therefore this will only work in chrome and probably safari.  If you want it to work in firefox then you'll have to do the -moz-transition for the rotation.


The where will Pep Guardiola land next season took an unexpected turn today with Ta cryptic tweet from Bild's chief Bayern Munich reporter Christian Falk.
It's an intriguing tweet on so many levels as Arsenal is the best destination for Guardiola in England. They have a stable ownership group that does not interfere in the manager's job. Something that Chelsea cannot offer. They play a style of football that is most similar to what Guardiola's teams at Barcelona and Bayern play unlike how Manchester City play. It is a London club, something that Guardiola's wife wants if recent press reports are to be believed, something that neither Manchester club can compete with.
On the other hand, Wenger and Guardiola are not on the best of terms. They have had flare-ups in the past, most memorably when the Arsenal boss refused to shake the Bayern coach's hand before or after a Champions League match back in February 2014.
Personally I don't like the fact that the managers come out so early for what they will do, because it's not necessarily good for their own team, nor for the speculation about the managers who are going through a little bit of a difficult patch.
The dream situation for Arsenal fans might be for Arsene Wenger to move into a Director of Football role after lifting the Premier League title this season, with Guardiola replacing him as Arsenal manager. Do you think that could happen?

Home → Current News → Four Takeaways from Trump's Plan to Rescind CHIP Funding
Four Takeaways from Trump's Plan to Rescind CHIP Funding
President Donald Trump wants to employ a rarely used budget maneuver called "rescission" to eliminate $15 billion in federal spending, including $7 billion from the popular Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
Administration officials insist the cuts wouldn't negatively affect any programs — rather, they would merely return money into the Treasury that Congress appropriated but is no longer needed.
In a statement on the White House blog, Russ Vought, the deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, said the administration strongly supports the CHIP program. "Rescinding these funds will have no impact on the program," Vought wrote. "At some point Congress will likely 'rescind' those funds as a budget gimmick to offset new spending elsewhere, as it did on the recently passed omnibus. Instead Congress should rescind the money now."
But child health advocates are wary, particularly since the proposal comes a few months after Congress let funding authorization for CHIP lapse, which forced states to request millions in emergency contingency funds to keep children covered.
CHIP, which covers 9 million children from low-income families that earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, is mostly federally funded. But states operate the program within federal guidelines.
As budget hawks and children's advocates dispute the effect of the plan, here are some takeaways on the Trump proposal.
What Are Rescissions?
Since the 1970s, presidents have had the power to take back money from federal programs previously appropriated by Congress — if Congress approves. That budget tool is not regularly used. The last president to seek and get approval for one was President Bill Clinton.
Once the president recommends a rescission, Congress has 45 days to approve the request. It needs only a majority vote in each chamber to pass.
If it isn't approved, the rescission does not take effect.
The president can recommend such cuts only with funds that Congress appropriates. Mandatory programs, such as Medicaid and Medicare, are not subject to rescissions.
Will Cutting $7 Billion From CHIP Really Have No Impact On The Program?
That's hard to say.
There is $7 billion at stake. The administration says $5 billion can no longer be spent because the period for it to be sent to states has expired. The other $2 billion is being taken from a federal contingency fund for CHIP. That money is to be used only if they face a budget shortfall. The economy is improving, and the administration is betting demand for CHIP will wane, leaving little need for the contingency fund.
"Anytime you cut spending, there is going to be some effect, said Marc Goldwein, senior vice president of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. "But in terms of CHIP, it's likely close to be zero — these are tiny cuts."
Still, child health advocates, who endured months of uncertainty about whether Congress would restore federal funding to CHIP in 2017, are worried.
"I think the cut to the contingency fund is particularly troubling," said Bruce Lesley, president of First Focus, an advocacy group.
Why Is President Trump Using This Budgetary Maneuver?
After signing a $1.3 billion spending bill in March, the president came under pressure from conservatives in Congress to cut the federal deficit. It is projected to hit nearly $1 trillion next year.
One strategy, according to these conservatives, is to rescind money that has not been spent to keep lawmakers from tapping those funds to pay for other programs.
Should Parents Of Kids On CHIP Be Worried?
Yes, if Congress goes along with the cuts, said David Super, a law professor at Georgetown University. But political analysts suggest that's not likely to happen since some Republican senators have already spoken out against the move. With Republicans holding a 51- 49 majority in the Senate — and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) battling brain cancer back home — the president likely would need all Republicans in the Senate to pass a rescission.
"This is pure political theater, ugly theater," Super said.
He notes the administration is telling conservatives the cuts will reduce the deficit. But in media calls, senior administration officials said the cuts won't have any programmatic effects.
"If the money would not have been spent, there are no savings," Super said. "Any rescission of money that would not be spent, by definition, cannot reduce the deficit."
Other programs targeted for cuts include relief funds for Hurricane Sandy, which struck in October 2012, and money allocated to respond to a possible outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus.
Super noted health advocates should be most worried about the $800 million in rescissions identified by the administration to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. This program was created by the 2010 Affordable Care Act to find ways to make health programs work more efficiently — and save money.

【why don't you?】悔しさ爆発させてみたらどう?Why Don't You... Blast Away Your Regrets?
Why don't you... blast away your regrets?
Do you know what period in your life is the one where you grow the most, where you have the most energy to get something done?
It's when you feel regret.... more commonly known as having a hungry state of mind.
In this world today, when you can live quite comfortably doing nothing in particular, it's quite hard to find that hungry feeling inside yourself.
After all, I've never experienced hunger... but regret, the feeling that you don't want to lose something, that kind of feeling stimulates you.
It's dangerous to put yourself in a safe and comfortable place because then you're certainly not hungry.
If your stomach is full, you don't go out of your way to look for food, do you?
I think the psyche is the same way: when you feel something is missing, you go out to search for it.
If you're happy-go-lucky, on top of the world... you don't need anything more, do you?
If you want to accomplish something, then you need a secret plan tucked away in your hungry place.
If you're in a hurry, then by all means hurry up, don't turn into your peaceful, numb self... that ambiguity is the gap between reality and the ideal.
So, if you have regrets, why don't you blast them away?

Agricultural Trade Policy Institute becomes 11th Member of ReNAPRI
ATPI aims to be a leading voice in producing evidence-based research in Namibia while at the same supporting policy makers, civil society and the Namibian private sector with data driven policy analysis.
The Agricultural Trade Policy Institute (ATPI) at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) has become the 11th member of the Regional Network of Agricultural Policy Research Institutes (ReNAPRI). ATPI's membership was endorsed during ReNAPRI's 16th Board Meeting which took place virtually due to current restrictions on travel, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. ReNAPRI is a network of agricultural policy research centers, generating high quality evidence for policy makers in Africa. ReNAPRI is registered in Zambia, with its membership drawn from 11 countries (DRC, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, [now]Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe)
The Agricultural Trade Policy Institute (ATPI) is a newly created research center under the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Sciences (DANRS) of the Faculty of Natural Resources and Spatial Sciences at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST). ATPI aims to be a leading voice in producing evidence-based research in Namibia while at the same supporting policy makers, civil society and the Namibian private sector with data driven policy analysis. Part of ATPI's outreach strategy involves the development of technical administrative, long-term research capacity and building sustainable partnerships with regional and global partners such as ReNAPRI. ATPI's further believes in ReNAPRI's mission of playing an active role in transforming Africa's agricultural sector by developing the capacity of national agricultural policy research Institutes in the continent, and strengthening and nurturing dynamic collaboration, towards providing objective and innovative policy advice to national, regional, and continental level stakeholders, through effective outreach. This similarity in the mission of both institutions is therefore fundamental in developing research capable of responding to the needs of partners based in Namibia and Africa, as a whole.
ReNAPRI recently launched its 5-year strategic plan and research agenda which will guide the activities of the network from 2021-2026. A key area of that strategic plan involves expanding network membership to strong national policy institutes of Africa Union member states. The admission of ATPI into the ReNAPRI network is therefore of prime importance to ReNAPRI as it expands membership to leading national policy research institutes in African Union member states. Going forward, ReNAPRI believes ATPI's membership in the network will lead to a win-win partnership for both institutions as they seek to promote the use of evidence and data driven policy analysis in transforming African agriculture.

Beautiful Pictures of the Lost Homeland, by Mia Gallagher review: rich and broad
The Irish writer's second novel is rich in colour and broad in scope, writes Sara Baume

Beautiful Pictures of the Lost Homeland
Mia Gallagher
Guideline Price:
Mia Gallagher's second novel begins, bracingly, on the London Underground. "With the hissing sound of a seventies' Schweppes commercial, the doors open. Mind the Gap, calls a clipped voice." Now the reader is one amongst the fidgeting passengers inside a crowded train carriage "hurtling along the bed of the underground river". Despite the everydayness of the scene, there is a distinct sense of impending catastrophe. "Here, in the land of the underground king, we are ripe for the taking." The scene builds up to the explosion, ending just a moment before. As for who of relevance to the story perished in the blast; it takes almost the entire novel to find out.
Beautiful Pictures of the Lost Homeland borrows its title from an old photo book described about 20 pages in. Cloth-bound, wrapped in a velveteen dust jacket, its machine-sewn pages show black and white photographs of scenes from late 19th-/early 20th-century Bohemia. They appear to "have been thumbed but are not dog-eared" as if "this is a book that someone has held open and gazed at, a book whose pages careful fingers have smoothed, as if stroking the window of a departing train". The inscription suggests it has been passed down through a family, beginning with somebody called Anna.
At this stage of the novel, Anna, like the victim of the London train bomb, remains mysterious to the reader. These are just two of many puzzles eked out over the novel's course in various different formats: footnotes, interviews, maps, questionnaires, artefacts entered into a catalogue, a fantastical tour guide, even a libretto. Fonts change and symbols pop up in the gaps between sections (a tiny sun, a tiny clock, a tiny bomb); Beautiful Pictures . . . is anything but drab.
Nine years have passed since Gallagher's debut, Hellfire; an enthralling and subversive epic of working-class Dublin. Her second novel is similarly rich in colour and broad in scope, and its many unruly pieces are similarly held in place by the strong voice of a central character.
At the book's heart, there is Georgie Madden. We are first introduced to her in adult life as she records an audio letter for her father, prompted to do so by a gift received in the post after many years of estrangement. The gift, as well as the reason for their separation, are two more of the novel's puzzles.
Beautiful Pictures of the Lost Homeland: February's Book Club choice
The Irish Times Book Club podcast with Mia Gallagher
'Editing Beautiful Pictures convinced me Mia Gallagher is one of the greatest living Irish writers'
When we meet Georgie again, it's the 1970s and she is a child in the back seat of her father's car on a road-trip from Dublin to Down, visiting her grandparents.
The story of young Georgie is also that of her parents' fractured marriage and her mother's battle against breast cancer. It is told, as well as from her own perspective, from that of her father, David, and from that of Lotte, a young woman from Bristol who Georgie's mother hires to clean and baby-sit as her own health deteriorates. These sections of the book are steeped in grief, but Gallagher captures the complicated feelings which circle around death with enough skill and sensitivity to prevent the gloom from becoming oppressive.
Georgie is an awkward youth, large for her age and short on friends. She likes mermaids and coconut creams. Her childhood is, for the most part, horribly problematic, not only because of her mother's slow dying, but also because Georgie was born and raised a boy.
In the sections from David and Lottes' perspectives, she is referred to as the "he" she appears. In the chapters from her adult life, Gallagher never goes into the graphic details of surgery or hormone replacement, instead focusing on Georgie's psychological struggle, the set of "trans-rules" she has taught herself to live by, her unremitting anxiety with regard to how she is perceived. The tenderness which with Gallagher approaches her subject immediately brought to mind Rose Tremain's 1992 novel, Sacred Country, about a boy-born-girl in provincial Suffolk in the 1950s. And yet, it is imprecise of me to contextualise Beautiful Pictures . . . as a gender-dysphoria story. At other times, I mistook it for a cancer story, a love story, a twin story, a war story.
And looming constantly, curiously, in the background of this clamorous mix, there is the Sudetenland. As a student of Leaving Cert history I remember learning how, as a result of the Munich Agreement, this German-speaking territory of Czechoslovakia was ceded to Hitler in 1938. What I didn't learn was that in the aftermath of the war, its German-Czech inhabitants were aggressively expelled from their homes. Many died of exhaustion and disease on the way to Germany or ended up living as refugees in the liberated concentration camps. A whole chapter of Beautiful Pictures . . . is devoted to the number of people "killed/displaced" during this period, running into the millions, as well as the atrocities perpetrated against them. These slices of history are linked with Lotte's past. Though I can't say they felt particularly necessary to the story, it was startling to learn of a tragedy so significant about which I had known so little.
Fortunately, Gallagher's writing is brilliant enough to paper over any cracks in relevance, to smooth the surface of this jagged novel. Her luscious descriptions make suburban Dublin appear peculiarly fascinating, and it doesn't matter that there are rather a lot of tenuously related characters because she is capable of portraying a great deal of what is important about a person in very few lines. Though somewhat baffling on the surface, Beautiful Pictures . . . is strangely coherent up close, like a magic-eye picture.
"They say the human brain remembers every single thing the eyes register," grown-up Georgie tells her father in an audio letter, "like those baroque princes who used to collect oddments for their cabinets of curiosities, but we let ourselves forget because otherwise we'd go mad." Gallagher is blessed with a brain better at this type of registration than most. Her second novel confirms her as a writer who doesn't miss, or forget, a trick.

Q: Value given in "X-Nonce" header is invalid I'm trying to do python application with custom authentication. I am using the API requests delivered from Blocktrade. I am also requesting Nonce in the request header from client which is a unique value sent from client in every API call.
I have 2 API calls I can't run both as you see them here, but I can run them one by one with no issues. "/api/v1/user" is getting info about the user and the other one "/api/v1/orders" is to get all orders by using the API_KEY and API_SECRET.
The error I get is this: {'message': 'Value given in "X-Nonce" header is invalid'}
I was thinking if I just waited for some time before calling each other API, but I still get the error.

A Salem, New Hampshire woman with polycystic kidney disease is in desperate need of a kidney and her husband has found a unique way to find one.
Common Grounds coffee shop has been on Route 97 in Methuen for decades, but the sign out front just a few weeks old.
"I put it up on a whim," said restaurant owner Wayne Bernard.
But he never consulted his wife.
"Oh, oh my God," said Kiki Bernard laughing. "Oh no."
Kiki said she would've gone about this much differently than her husband did.
"Something more sympathetic, not just, 'inquire within,'" she said smiling.
But it turns out Wayne's simple words are working.
"It just clicked that I needed to try and do this," said Salem resident Christine Schafer.
Schafer is one of at least a dozen customers and passersby who are in the process of being tested as a potential match.
"It would mean the world to me to help someone like her," Schafer said. "She has a heart of gold, she's a wonderful person."
"It's been so overwhelming, the generosity of people has been amazing," Kiki said. "They're saving my life, they really are."
The sign has been up for just five weeks and Wayne said it'll stay until they find a donor, at which point, he'll simply change the message.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Wayne said.
Kiki chuckled, saying, "And I will leave that up to him."
Kiki is on a transplant list, but she said it will be six years before she gets a kidney that way, so she's incredibly grateful her husband came up with this idea.
The couple has left Tufts Medical Center donor applications at the coffee counter for any customer who might be interested in helping out.

Anxiety hypnosis Melbourne practitioners know that in order to manage your fears in a powerful and effective way, you need to get under the hood where the subconscious beliefs lie.
Here's something you may not know: our brains are hardwired to look for what is wrong. This stems back from a long time ago, when a heightened fear response was essential to our survival as a species.
What that means is, 80% of what we worry about won't eventuate. That's a lot of unnecessary negative energy to be carrying around!
Fortunately, the problem isn't so much with the nervousness and worrying itself but with the way you relate to it; and you can definitely do something about that – with the help of a professional consulting hypnotherapist.
Anxiety Is Not The Problem.
Just because a feeling of impending doom arises in you, it doesn't mean you have to be defined by it. I have taught many of my clients who found themselves paralyzed by worry strategies to help them stop doing this; and I can teach you too.
Anxiety itself isn't the problem. In fact a feeling of anxiety only has about a 90 second shelf life.
But it's the subsequent train of terrifying thoughts, feelings, stories and fear-fantasies that perpetuate this initial feeling and make it last much longer. You can break free from the trance of fear using the tried and true hypnosis for stress and mindfulness techniques that are part of my program.
Broadly speaking there will be one of two causes for your feelings of uneasiness and worry. If your anxiety is situational, this means that there are situations, circumstances or people that are contributing to your feelings.
Cheryl's testimonial in this video is a perfect example of how a person who is experiencing situational anxiety can turn their life around with the help of hypnotherapy.
For example, if over the past few months a close family member has been seriously ill and as a result your sleep is disturbed, you feel agitated and distressed on a regular basis, this would be described as situational.
I can help you work through your situational anxiety and teach you tools that will alleviate the feelings generated by these situations so that no matter what happens, you can cope and eventually, thrive.
Organic anxiety can't be treated with hypnosis, because a clinical hypnotherapist has no control over your hormones or brain chemistry.
Just as you have learnt this fearful way of thinking, you can also un-learn it. A skilled hypnotherapist will diagnose the beliefs and unwanted mind patterns that are keeping you stuck in this state of fear and, with your permission, she can help you eliminate them.
Hypnosis works by accessing the underlying subconscious memories, imprints and patterns that are not working for you and changing them while your mind is in a relaxed, focused and receptive state. Read more about how hypnotherapy works.
An integrated approach to your problem that gets results.
When Brian came to see me his whole life had been turned upside down by a recent separation. He had been left to look after the kids and fend for himself after 23 years of marriage. Not surprisingly he fell in a heap.
Even though he knew his marriage was over, he was finding it hard to move on and every time he thought about his wife it sent him spiralling into overwhelmingly painful feelings of worry, anger and hopelessness. The first thing I did was help Brian heal the hurt and resentment he was carrying so he could move on with his life in a constructive way.
After his first session, Brian was amazed at how much lighter he felt about his situation. I continued to work on his confidence, self-esteem and ability to set boundaries. At the same time I set mini-goals with him; specific activities that would help him get back into the world and establish a life and identity that was separate from the one he had as a married man.
By his fourth session, Brian was feeling calm, confident and ready to take on the world again. He had joined a gym and started eating better and was even looking into social sporting clubs to be a part of.
You Can Turn Your Life Around Too.
If you've taken a few hard knocks and your feelings of restlessness and agitation have gone through the roof, you've come to the right place.
Anxiety hypnosis Melbourne can help you unpack the baggage, put it where it needs to go and take the next step to creating a happy and healthy future. Get in touch via my contact page if you would like to book an appointment.

The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) (also nicknamed the desertron[2]) was a particle accelerator complex under construction in the vicinity of Waxahachie, Texas.
Its planned ring circumference was 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) with an energy of 20 TeV per proton and was designed to be the world's largest and most energetic particle accelerator. The laboratory director was Roy Schwitters, a physicist at the University of Texas at Austin. Department of Energy administrator Louis Ianniello served as its first project director, followed by Joe Cipriano, who came to the SSC Project from the Pentagon in May 1990.[3] After 22.5 km (14 mi) of tunnel had been bored and about 2 billion dollars spent, the project was cancelled by the US Congress in 1993.[4]
Proposal and development[edit]
The supercollider was formally discussed in the 1984 National Reference Designs Study, which examined the technical and economic feasibility of a machine with the design energy of 20 TeV per proton.[5]
Early in 1983, HEPAP (High-Energy Physics Advisory Panel) formed the New Facilities for the US High-Energy Physics Program subpanel. Led by Stanford University physicist Stanley Wojcicki,[6] and charged with making recommendations "for a forefront United States High Energy Physics Program in the next five to ten years."[7] the HEPAP subpanel recommended that the US build the Superconducting Super Collider.[8][9]
Fermilab director and subsequent Nobel physics prizewinner Leon Lederman was a very prominent early supporter – some sources say the architect[10] or proposer[11] – of the Superconducting Super Collider project, as well as a major proponent and advocate throughout its lifetime.[12][13]
A Central Design Group (CDG) was organized in California at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, which became the gathering place for physicists to come and support the SSC design effort. In the mid-1980s, many leading high-energy physicists, including theorist J. David Jackson of Berkeley, Chris Quigg of Fermilab, Maury Tigner of Cornell, Stanley Wojcicki, as well as Lederman, Chicago's James Cronin, Harvard theorist Sheldon Glashow, and Roy Schwitters, continued their efforts to promote the Super Collider.[14]
An extensive U.S. Department of Energy review was also done during the mid-1980s. Seventeen shafts were sunk and 23.5 km (14.6 mi) of tunnel were bored by late 1993.[4][15]
Partial construction and financial issues[edit]
A high-level schematic of the lab landscape during the final planning phases.
During the design and the first construction stage, a heated debate ensued about the high cost of the project. In 1987, Congress was told the project could be completed for $4.4 billion, and it gained the enthusiastic support of Speaker Jim Wright of nearby Fort Worth, Texas.[4][16] A recurring argument was the contrast with NASA's contribution to the International Space Station (ISS), a similar dollar amount.[4] Critics of the project (Congressmen representing other US states and scientists working in non-SSC fields who felt the money would be better spent on their own fields)[4] argued that the US could not afford both of them.
Estimates of the additional cost caused by not using existing physical and human infrastructure at Fermilab in Illinois range from $495 million to $3.28 billion.[17]
Leaders hoped to get financial support from Europe, Canada, Japan, Russia, and India. This was hindered by promotion of the project as promoting American superiority.[18] European funding remained at CERN, which was already working on the Large Hadron Collider. India pledged $50 million, but talks with Japan foundered over trade tensions in the automobile industry.[18] A US-Japanese trade mission where SSC funding was supposed to be discussed ended in the George H. W. Bush vomiting incident.[18]
Congress began appropriating annual funding for the project. In 1992, it was opposed by a majority of the House of Representatives (231-181), but was included in the final reconciled budget due to support in the Senate (62-32).[19] Early in 1993, a group supported by funds from project contractors organized a public relations campaign to lobby Congress directly in support of the project.[20] In February, the General Accounting Office reported a $630 million overrun in the $1.25 billion construction budget. By March, the New York Times reported the estimated total cost had grown to $8.4 billion.[19] In June, the non-profit Project on Government Oversight released a draft audit report by the Department of Energy's Inspector General heavily criticizing the Super Collider for its high costs and poor management by officials in charge of it.[20][21] The Inspector General investigated $500,000 in questionable expenses over three years, including $12,000 for Christmas parties, $25,000 for catered lunches, and $21,000 for the purchase and maintenance of office plants.[22] The report also concluded that there was inadequate documentation for $203 million in project spending, or 40% of the money spent up to that point.[23]
In 1993, Clinton tried to prevent the cancellation by asking Congress to continue "to support this important and challenging effort" through completion because "abandoning the SSC at this point would signal that the United States is compromising its position of leadership in basic science".[24]
Cancellation[edit]
After $2 billion had been spent ($400 million by the host state of Texas, the rest by the Department of Energy[18]), the House of Representatives rejected funding on October 19, 1993, and Senate negotiators failed to restore it.[25] Following Rep. Jim Slattery's successful orchestration in the House,[25] President Clinton signed the bill that finally cancelled the project on October 30, 1993, stating regret at the "serious loss" for science.[26]
Many factors contributed to the cancellation:[4] rising cost estimates (to $12bn);[27] poor management by physicists and Department of Energy officials; the end of the need to prove the supremacy of American science with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War; belief that many smaller scientific experiments of equal merit could be funded for the same cost; Congress's desire to generally reduce spending (the United States was running a $255bn budget deficit); the reluctance of Texas Governor Ann Richards;[28] and President Bill Clinton's initial lack of support for a project begun during the administrations of Richards's predecessor, Bill Clements, and Clinton's predecessors, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush.[29] The project's cancellation was also eased by opposition from within the scientific community. Prominent condensed matter physicists, such as Philip W. Anderson and Nicolaas Bloembergen, testified before Congress opposing the project. They argued that, although the SSC would certainly conduct high-quality research, it was not the only way to acquire new fundamental knowledge, as some of its supporters claimed, and so was unreasonably expensive. Scientific critics of the SSC pointed out that basic research in other areas, such as condensed matter physics and materials science, was underfunded compared to high energy physics, despite the fact that those fields were more likely to produce applications with technological and economic benefits.[30]
Reactions to the cancellation[edit]
Steven Weinberg, a Nobel laureate in Physics, places the cancellation of the SSC in the context of a bigger national and global socio-economic crisis, including a general crisis in funding for science research and for the provision of adequate education, healthcare, transportation and communication infrastructure, and criminal justice and law enforcement.[4]
Leon Lederman, a promoter and advocate from its early days,[12][13] wrote his 1993 popular science book The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question? – which sought to promote awareness of the significance of the work which necessitated such a project – in the context of the project's last years and loss of congressional support.[31]
The closing of the SSC had adverse consequences for the southern part of the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, and resulted in a mild recession, most evident in those parts of Dallas which lay south of the Trinity River.[32] When the project was cancelled, 22.5 km (14.0 mi) of tunnel and 17 shafts to the surface were already dug, and nearly two billion dollars had already been spent on the massive facility.[33]
Comparison with the Large Hadron Collider[edit]
The SSC's planned collision energy of 2 x 20 = 40 TeV was roughly three times that of the 2 x 6.5 = 13 TeV (as of June 2015) of its European counterpart, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva.[34] However, the planned luminosity was only one tenth of the design luminosity of the LHC.
Although some claimed that the SSC cost was largely due to the massive civil engineering project of digging a huge tunnel, that was somewhat of a distortion. The tunneling and conventional facility buildout budget was only about ten percent of the total budgeted cost (1.1 billion dollars out of a total cost of 10 billion). The major cost item was the magnets, still in laboratory development phase, consequently with a higher level of uncertainty attached to the final cost.[citation needed] The ring circumference of the LHC is 27 km (17 mi), compared to the planned 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) of the SSC.
The LHC's advantage in terms of cost was the use of the pre-existing engineering infrastructure and 27 km long cavern of the Large Electron–Positron Collider, and its use of a different, innovative magnet design to bend the higher energy particles into the available tunnel.[35] The LHC eventually cost the equivalent of about 5 billion US dollars to build. The total operating budget of CERN runs to about $1 billion per year. The Large Hadron Collider became operational in August 2008.[36]
In a 2021 interview, Schwitters speculated that, had the project been completed, it would have led to the discovery of the Higgs boson particle 10 years before its eventual discovery in Switzerland[37] and attracted an equivalent number of visitors to North Texas as CERN's 120,000 per year.
Cross sections of preform superconductor rods from sample runs[edit]
Current status of site[edit]
View of the SSC site, 2008
After the project was cancelled, the main site was deeded to Ellis County, Texas, and the county tried numerous times to sell the property. The property was sold in August 2006 to an investment group led by the late J.B. Hunt.[38]
In 2009, Collider Data Center had contracted with GVA Cawley to market the site as a data center.[39] In 2012, chemical company Magnablend bought the property and facilities against some opposition from the local community.[40] The buildings in the facility, which had become prime spots for thieves and drug parties, were renovated and were re-opened in 2013 by Magnablend.[41] The facility makes a range of oil field products for the energy service industry.
"Supercollider," a 1993 song by the Boston-based alternative band Tribe, describes the point of view of a scientist hired to help build the (then-uncancelled) project.
John G. Cramer's 1997 hard science fiction novel Einstein's Bridge centers around a fictional version of the Superconducting Super Collider.[citation needed]
A Hole In Texas is a 2004 novel by Herman Wouk, which describes the adventures of a high-energy physicist following the surprise announcement that a Chinese physicist had discovered the long-sought Higgs boson. Parts of the plot are based on the aborted Superconducting Super Collider project.[citation needed]
On the January 21, 2021 episode of Young Sheldon the supercollider is mentioned when Sheldon Cooper's (Iain Armitage) mentor Dr. John Sturgis (Wallace Shawn) gets a new job there. A subsequent episode on the April 1, 2021 episode shows an exterior shot of the facility with Dr. Sturgis receiving a phone call from Sheldon's grandmother (Annie Potts).[citation needed]
In 2021, the project was cited as a case study of the hypothetical demon of Bureaucratic Chaos, which "blocks good things from happening" at the United States Department of Energy.[42]

About Juneau, AK
With a population of 31,275 and a total land area of 2,715.7 square miles, Juneau is the capital city of Alaska. Incredibly, Juneau is almost larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined in terms of land area. The city is named after John Juneau, a gold prospector who settled in the area with co-prospector Richard Harris. Before European settlement, the area was a common fishing spot for Tlingit Indians who had inhabited the surrounding land for several millennia. Joseph Whidbey was the first European to see the area. He explored the region between the years 1791 and 1795 during a discovery mission under George Vancouver.
According to the 2010 census, there were 11,501 households and 7,600 families living in the city. The racial makeup is as follows: 74.8% White, 11.4% Native American, .8% African American, 4.7% Asian, 3.7% Hispanic, and .4% Pacific Islander. More than a third of the households in Juneau had one or more children under the age of 18, though only 27.4% of the population was under the age of 18. The per capita income in the city is $26,719 and the average household earns $62,034 annually. 6% of the population lives at or below the poverty line, including nearly 4% of those over the age of 65.
The federal, state, and local governments are the largest employers in Juneau, making up roughly a quarter of the local economy. Other industries supporting the local economy include tourism, commercial fishing, Real estate, and mining. Juneau is home to the University of Alaska Southeast, which was founded in 1956 and has a total student body of 2,800.
With limited road infrastructure, residents largely make use of ferries and small aircraft to get to nearby cities. The U.S mail is delivered to smaller villages in Alaska via small transport planes.

Drive Ohio, Press Release
DriveOhio's Vertiport Innovation Challenge prioritizes STEM outreach in schools
School is back in session, and DriveOhio has partnered with the Mastery School of Hawken in northeast Ohio to kick off its latest Vertiport Innovation Challenge. Using Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) skills, students will focus on identifying an opportunity to implement advanced air mobility in their community.
During the next month, student teams will work with industry mentors to develop a real-world application in healthcare supply delivery, "middle mile" cargo delivery and "last mile" drone delivery. The final proposal will not only pinpoint solutions, but also the aviation infrastructure needed to support operations, such as a network of vertiports or mobility hubs, in alignment with the recently released Ohio Advanced Air Mobility Framework.
"As the state's manufacturing footprint grows and transportation technology continues to advance, investing in Ohio's emerging workforce is critical," said Governor Mike DeWine. "These science and technology-based outreach programs help prepare our next generation of leaders, showing our students that opportunities are limitless."
Inspired by the recent Kroger drone delivery pilot in Centerville, one team of students will brainstorm how to use small uncrewed aircraft systems to deliver groceries and food. Another will tackle how electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft could deliver critical medical supplies between hospitals, and a third team will focus on using eVTOLs to move cargo between logistics hubs.
"The Mastery School of Hawken is founded on the philosophy that we learn things best when working to solve a real and urgent problem. This design challenge with FlyOhio allows students to engage in deep learning about physics and technology and gain exposure to this exciting new industry through the lens of the real challenges professionals in the advanced air mobility field are grappling with," said Julia Hodges, Founding Faculty at Mastery School of Hawken.
"We already know that our investments in advanced air mobility today have the potential to grow Ohio's mobility economy for decades to come, but that doesn't happen without a robust and skilled workforce to support this rapidly-changing industry. Reaching students in the classroom and tapping into their passion is just another way to position Ohio for success in this space," said Preeti Choudhary, Executive Director of DriveOhio.
If you are interested in shaping the future smart mobility workforce and are interested in a future vertiport innovation challenge, or bringing STEM activities to your school, contact [email protected] To learn more about DriveOhio's workforce programs, visit drive.ohio.gov/workforce.
About DriveOhio: DriveOhio is Ohio's portal to advancing smart mobility. Together with its partners, DriveOhio has developed the world's most advanced smart mobility ecosystem of connected, autonomous, electric and shared transportation – on the ground, in the air, everywhere. In addition to advancing projects with cutting-edge transportation technology, DriveOhio is committed to developing the workforce that's critical for this new and quickly-evolving industry. With a goal to engage Ohio's emerging workforce from Pre-K to PhD with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) outreach programs and problem-based learning, DriveOhio will help students envision future smart mobility careers.

Pedestrian deaths reached record levels in 2018, police data show
Kelsey Bradshaw @kbrad5
Pedestrians made up 42 percent of all traffic deaths in Austin last year — the largest proportion in recent years, according to available police data — and more pedestrians died on Interstate 35 than on any other road in the city, an American-Statesman analysis found.
In 2018, the city saw 74 traffic deaths, including 31 pedestrians hit and killed by vehicles, making it the deadliest year for pedestrians since 2008, the earliest year of data police provided the Statesman. The rate is the highest since 2011, when pedestrians made up 41 percent of 54 total traffic deaths. In 2017, pedestrians made up about 30 percent of 76 deaths.
Fifteen of the pedestrian deaths happened on major highways, including 11 on I-35 or one of its service roads, the data show. Four of the crashes involved an 18-wheeler.
Road deaths persist despite the city's efforts to improve traffic safety through its Vision Zero action plan adopted more than two years ago.
Three pedestrians have already been killed this year in Austin. David Hillburn Sell, 31, was hit and killed by an 18-wheeler the morning of Jan. 15. The truck's driver said he could not see Sell walking in the center southbound lane of I-35 in North Austin. A little after midnight on Jan. 26, Laura Wray was fatally struck by a pickup as she was walking along North I-35 near Middle Fiskville Road. Jesus Servantez, 15, was struck Jan. 8 by a vehicle on Capital of Texas Highway before dying from his injuries on Jan. 21.
Pedestrian deaths steadily dropped from 29 in 2015, then 28 in 2016, and 23 in 2017, police data show. But what caused the small spike in pedestrian deaths in 2018 hasn't been determined, officials with Austin's Transportation Department said.
"It's hard to pin that on one thing," said the city's pedestrian coordinator, Joel Meyer. "There can be year-to-year fluctuations that are really hard to pin down."
Typically, pedestrian deaths can involve drunken driving, drivers failing to yield to walkers, speeding, distracted driving and people walking where they're not supposed to, he said.
"We try to take some more long-term approach in our data evaluation to understand how these trends are going up or down," he said. "The likely increase last year is certainly something we're paying attention to."
Speed is a factor in pedestrian deaths. Of the 121 people who were killed on Austin roads between 2010 and 2015, 64 percent of them were struck by vehicles on roads with speed limits of 45 mph or more, according to the city's pedestrian safety action plan for 2018.
A driver who is going 50 mph can cause more damage than someone only going 20 mph, Meyer said.
Three pedestrians were killed in one week last July, and the incidents highlight the number of ways a person could be fatally struck by a vehicle in Austin.
• Scott Gerald Whiting, 37, did not have a sidewalk to use when he was hit by a vehicle in the 5700 block of Parmer Lane on the morning of July 23. Police do not know if he was using a bike lane or was walking on a grassy shoulder when he was hit.
• On the morning of July 26, Luis Cristobal Landeros, 50, was using a sidewalk in the westbound service road in the 1100 block of East Anderson Lane when a driver lost control of a 2018 black Mitsubishi Mirage and hit Landeros.
• David O'Beirne was trying to cross the 500 block of North Interstate 35 the morning of July 27 when he was hit by a 2007 Mack truck tractor.
One might think that stopping pedestrians from walking where they aren't supposed to and getting drivers to slow down would be a quick fix to the deadly issue, but Meyer said it is more complex than that.
Changing the culture of how drivers treat pedestrians — by employing informational street teams, updating traffic stops, and building more sidewalks and crosswalks — is part of the equation when it comes to eradicating these kinds of incidents, he said: "If you go to other cities, particularly in the North or Northeast, culturally, it's the norm to stop for pedestrians when they're about to cross the street. I don't know that we are there yet in Austin."
More money is being put toward ridding the city of traffic deaths, pedestrian or otherwise. Proposition G was passed in November and will funnel $160 million toward improving and building intersections, streets and sidewalks and upgrading signals.
"That's a resource that we're going to be using in the next couple of years to really focus on high crash and high risk areas where we can do low-cost, but high-impact crossings across the city," Meyer said.
While 2018 brought an increase in pedestrian deaths, the number of total traffic deaths that Austin sees in a year has only incrementally decreased since the city adopted the Vision Zero action plan in 2016.
Total traffic deaths dropped from 102 in 2015 to 79 in 2016, then from 76 in 2017 to 74 in 2018, police data show.
Vision Zero aims to eliminate all traffic deaths in Austin by 2025 by focusing on distracted driving, speeding, alcohol and drug impairment, unsafe driving maneuvers, and failure to stop or field right of way.
"It's an audacious goal to be sure," Lauren Dierenfield, Austin Transportation Department's active transportation program manager, told the American-Statesman in December. "But, if you think about your family and loved ones and think about how many people it would be acceptable to die in your family, we think zero. When you extrapolate that into the Austin community, that's really the vision in Vision Zero."

José Salvador Omar Jorge Blanco (* 5. Juli 1926 in Santiago de los Caballeros; † 26. Dezember 2010 in Santo Domingo) war ein dominikanischer Politiker des Partido Revolucionario Dominicano (PRD). Er war von 1982 bis 1986 Staatspräsident der Dominikanischen Republik.

Biografie

Studium und Aufstieg zum Senator
Nach dem Schulbesuch an der Academia de Santa Ana und der Escuala Norma Ulises Francisco Espaillat in seiner Geburtsstadt absolvierte er ein Studium der Rechtswissenschaften an der Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo, das er im August 1950 mit einer Dissertation zum Thema La unidad de Jurisdicción analizada en el ejercicio de la acción pública y la acción civil abschloss. Nach einem Postgraduiertenstudium an der Universität Complutense Madrid, das er 1951 mit einer Dissertation zum Thema El Asilo político beendete, war er als Rechtsanwalt tätig.

Seine politische Laufbahn begann er 1963 als Sekretär des Komitees der Unión Cívica von Santiago de los Caballeros, doch wurde er bereits im darauf folgenden Jahr Mitglied des Partido Revolucionario Dominicano (PRD). In der Übergangsregierung von Oberst Francisco Alberto Caamaño war er von April bis September 1965 Generalstaatsanwalt und Mitglied der Verhandlungsdelegation über die Behandlung der Opfer der Dominikanischen Revolution. Zugleich war er während dieser Zeit maßgeblich an der Neugestaltung des Verfassungsrechts beteiligt.

Jorge Blanco war zwischen 1966 und 1973 Mitglied des Nationalen Exekutivkomitees und der Politischen Kommission und dann von 1977 bis 1979 Präsident des PRD. Dazwischen war er von 1973 bis 1975 Vorsitzender der Rechtsanwaltsvereinigung und dann 1975 bis 1976 Mitglied der Kommission zur Ausarbeitung eines Handelsgesetzbuchs (Código de Comercio). 1978 folgte seine Wahl zum Mitglied des Senats (Senado), wo er zugleich Sprecher des Distrito Nacional war.

Präsident 1982 bis 1986 und späteres Leben
Nach dem Selbstmord von Präsident Antonio Guzmán Fernández am 4. Juli 1982 und der einmonatigen Übergangspräsidentschaft des bisherigen Vizepräsidenten Jacobo Majluta wurde er nach seiner erfolgreichen Wahl am 16. Mai 1982 am 16. August 1982 als Präsident der Dominikanischen Republik vereidigt. Trotz der gleichen Parteizugehörigkeit von Guzmán Fernández und Jorge Blanco verband die beiden ein bitterer Streit, die letztlich dazu führte, dass Jorge Blanco den PRD im Senat zur Opposition gegen die Regierung von Guzmán aufrief. Dabei kursierten zunehmend Gerüchte über Korruption und Vetternwirtschaft innerhalb der Regierung Guzmán und insbesondere dessen Familie. Mit dem Amtsantritt Jorge Blancos wurden daher auch Hoffnungen hinsichtlich eines klaren Bruchs mit dem Patrimonialismus des bisherigen Präsidenten und des Machteinflusses der Armee verbunden, zumal der PRD unter Jorge Blanco mit 17 von 27 Sitzen im Senat und 62 von 120 Sitzen im Abgeordnetenhaus (Cámara de Diputados) über absolute Mehrheiten im Parlament verfügte.

Allerdings wurden bald auch seine Machtbeschränkungen deutlich, wie zum Beispiel im April 1984, als starke Preisanstiege als Teil eines wirtschaftlichen Stabilisierungsprogramms aufgrund der Vorgaben des Internationalen Währungsfonds (IMF) zu Massenunruhen mit zahlreichen Todesfällen führten. Dieses trübte die Bemühungen der Regierung hinsichtlich der Bürgerrechte und Menschenrechte, mit denen der PRD eigentlich starke Unterschiede zur früheren Präsidentschaft von Joaquín Balaguer aufzeigen wollte. Schließlich endete die Nominierung des Präsidentschaftskandidaten im November 1985, mit der der PRD die parteiinternen demokratischen Prozeduren fortsetzen wollte, mit einem Schusswechsel im Tagungsort, dem Concorde Hotel von Santiago. Jorge Blanco regierte die Dominikanische Republik in einer Zeit dramatischer wirtschaftlicher Schwierigkeiten, die überwiegend vom IMF aufgebürdet wurde. 1985 gab es zum ersten Mal seit dem Bürgerkrieg von 1965 eine negative Wachstumsrate.

Am 16. August 1986 folgte ihm Balaguer im Amt des Präsidenten. Am Ende seiner Amtszeit wurde er zwar von vielen als einer der vielversprechendsten Politiker der Dominikanischen Republik gesehen, allerdings musste er am 30. April 1987 nach langen Vernehmungen und einem Haftbefehl wegen Korruptionsverdachts aufgrund illegalen Erwerbs von militärischem Ausrüstungsmaterial in die Botschaft von Venezuela fliehen, wo er politisches Asyl beantragte. Ein Herzanfall führte jedoch zu seiner Unterbringung in einer Klinik in Santo Domingo, nachdem die venezolanische Regierung seinen Asylantrag abgelehnt hatte. Anschließend wurde ihm unter der Voraussetzung der Vollstreckbarkeit des Haftbefehls die medizinische Behandlung in den USA gestattet. Im November 1988 ließ Präsident Balaguer die weitere Strafverfolgung wegen Korruption verkünden, worauf gegen Jorge Blanco in Abwesenheit Anklage erhoben wurde, die zu einer Geldstrafe von mehreren Millionen und einer Haftstrafe von 23 Jahren führte. Die Anklage in dem monatelang im Fernsehen publizierten Gerichtsverfahren wurde dabei von dem späteren obersten Drogenfahnder Marino Vinicio Castillo vertreten.

Im Mai 2001 kam es zu einer Revision des Verfahrens vor dem Obersten Gericht, die zur Feststellung führte, dass das Verfahren durch massive Einmischungen von Balaguer gesteuert worden war. Das Urteil wurde aus diesem Grunde aufgehoben. Jorge Blanco, der die Anschuldigungen stets zurückwies, sah sich als Opfer einer politischen Verfolgung durch seinen Gegner Joaquín Balaguer.

Jorge Blanco war zuletzt als Rechtsanwalt tätig und Mitglied der Kanzlei Jorge Mera & Villegas in Santo Domingo. Als Partner der Kanzlei beschäftigte er sich überwiegend mit Bankrecht, Verfassungsrecht, Strafrecht, Zivilrecht, Gesellschaftsrecht, Privatisierung und Prozessrecht.

Tod
Jorge Blanco befand sich seit einem Sturz am 20. November 2010 für 36 Tage im Koma. Bereits Ende November 2010 wurde für wenige Stunden vom Ableben des Präsidenten in den Medien berichtet. Er starb allerdings erst am Morgen des 26. Dezember 2010.

Women's History And Policy Opinion Piece
Historically, the political arena has been a stronghold of the masculine gender. The representation of the feminine gender has been equivalent to extremely minor or even non-existent in many countries and cultures of the world till date. According to statistics, on an average, women make part of less than 15% of the political setup of a country. Such situations question the will and urge of women to act towards a progressive political environment by taking part in the political arena. However, the trend has been on the change as many women are becoming a part of the political arena in a bid to counter the issue of minor representation in the current century and to create a statement that women can be equivalent in standing strong and representing their countries and nations.
Women in Politics in the Nineteenth Century
However, the representation of women in the political arena in the nineteenth century was almost equal to zero. Several women in the United States of America and the United Kingdom remained in high offices and political statures, but they were there due to their men possessing high political offices. Women rights were limited during those times, and similar to many other issues, women did not have the power to vote. This was highly due to the common belief in the society that women were best suited and primarily had to govern the domestic issues of their home and family. Such perception resulted in support for gender inequality in the society, and thus, in the political environment as well.Get full access
