Initiation of plate tectonics and evolution of the Earth
When and how did plate tectonics begin on Earth? What was the style of surface tectonics before plate tectonics? These are the main questions driving my research on early Earth evolution. I use numerical models of mantle convection to assess how higher the mantle temperatures which prevailed on the early Earth influence plate boundary formation and mobility of surface plates. This research is inter-disciplinary, working with geochemists, petrologists, and geologists to integrate the modeling with geological observations. For example, the convection models predict that the early Earth would have been in a mobile lid regime, with sluggish, drip-like subduction. This regime is capable of explaining how mantle geochemical heterogeneities, created soon after Earth's formation, survived for 1-2 billion years. I recently received funding for a project studying how the growth of Earth's initial continents influence plate boundary formation and the initiation of subduction, and whether growing continents leads to a global transition to modern style plate tectonics in the Archean. Please contact me if you are interested in pursuing a Ph. D. as part of this project!
Chemical mixing by mantle convection at early Earth conditions. Shown is temperature field with tracers representing chemical heterogeneity. When grainsize is fixed, as is traditionally assumed, mixing is rapid and heterogeneity is rapidly erased. However, when grainsize evolves, heterogeneity can last for 1-2 billion years, consistent with geochemical observations (Foley & Rizo, submitted).
Coupling between climate and mantle convection
Phase diagram showing the boundary between plate tectonics and stagnant lid convection as a function of planet size and surface temperature. Plate tectonics is favored for large planets or those with cool surface temperatures, because large planets have more vigorously convecting mantles and therefore larger driving forces for forming plate boundaries, and cool surface temperatures suppress rock annealing, which acts to wipe out plate boundaries (Foley et al, 2012).
Mantle convection influences climate through volcanism, which releases greenhouse gases such as H2O and CO2 into the atmosphere, and through mountain building, which drives chemical weathering, a process that removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Climate also influences mantle convection by imposing a temperature boundary condition on the convection mantle. I perform research on both aspects of this coupling. My work has shown that surface temperature can dictate whether a planet has plate tectonics or not; too high a surface temperature and weak plate boundaries can not be formed through grainsize reduction. The fact that Venus does not have plate tectonics while the Earth does, despite the two planets being otherwise very similar, can be explained by the different surface temperatures. My research seeks to quantify the role tectonics plays in maintaining temperate climate on a planet through weathering, by exploring the links between surface tectonics, erosion, and weathering using theoretical models.
Habitability of super-Earth exoplanets
Thousands of exo-planets, planets outside of our solar system, have recently been discovered by astronomers, revealing that planetary systems are common in our galaxy. Most of these planets are larger than Earth, and called super-Earths. One of the most important questions about these planets is whether they host life. In many ways, the interior dynamics of a planet influences whether surface conditions are habitable for life, because of connections between weathering and tectonics. My research focuses on how conditions such as the area of exposed land (versus land covered by oceans) and erosion rates influence whether a climate suitable for life can develop. I also study the coupled evolution of climate and tectonics, to map out the circumstances necessary for developing an habitable planet. Another project I'm pursuing is studying whether, and for how long, a habitable climate can persist on a stagnant lid planet (i.e. one that does not have plate tectonics, like Mars or Venus).
Atmospheric CO2 (A) and surface temperature (B) as a function of total planetary CO2 budget and exposed land fraction. When weathering is kinetically limited, at large land fractions and low planetary CO2 budgets, temperate surface temperatures ensue. When weathering is supply limited weathering, as a result of a small land fraction or high CO2 extremely hot climates form because weathering can not keep pace with volcanic CO2 emissions. The boundary between the kinetically limited and supply limited weathering regimes is shown in panel (C) as a function of erosion rate, E, and in panel (D) as a function of the fraction of subducted carbon that degasses at arcs, f (where the label KL refers to the kinetically limited regime and SL refers to the supply limited regime). From Foley & Driscoll, 2016.
Shear localization
A defining characteristic of plate tectonics on Earth is that deformation is localized to narrow plate boundaries between the nearly rigid, non-deforming plates. Discovering the reasons why deformation localizes is therefore a key to understanding why Earth has plate tectonics. Shear localization is the result of the complex manner in which rocks deform, and likely involves fabric development and grainsize reduction in rocks in the lithosphere. I use to regional scale shear zone models and global scale mantle convection models to assess how, and under what conditions, different mechanism for shear localization work, and how well they explain geological field observations of exposed shear zones.

First paralyzed human regains his upper body movement after being treated with stem cells
When Kristopher Boesen of Bakersfield regained consciousness after losing control of his car while driving in wet conditions, he was paralyzed from the neck down. The prognosis was grim: he was told that he might never regain control of his limbs again.
But he has. At least some of them. He has movement in his upper body and can use his arms and hands. He can feed himself, text friends and family and even hug them. To him, this means that he has his life back. How did this miracle come about?
Kris was offered the opportunity to participate in a human clinical trial at the University of Southern California and Asterias Biotherapeutics. He is one of five previously paralyzed patients who experienced increased mobility after the trial.
The trial involved injecting an experimental dose of 10 million AST-OPC1 cells directly into Kris' cervical spinal cord. The surgical team was led by Charles Liu, MD, PhD, director of the USC Neurorestoration Center. The surgical team worked in collaboration with Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center and Keck Medicine of USC.
Dr. Liu explained that patients with spinal cord injuries normally undergo surgery that stabilizes the spine but that this generally does very little to restore motor or sensory function. "With this study, we are testing a procedure that may improve neurological function, which could mean the difference between being permanently paralyzed and being able to use one's arms and hands. Restoring that level of function could significantly improve the daily lives of patients with severe spinal injuries."
Two weeks after the procedure, Kris began to show signs of improvement. Three months later, he could assume relative independence because now he was able to do personal things for himself like brushing his teeth and feeding himself. Being able to perform even these simple tasks, is a huge improvement on quality of life for him. Even more so his regained ability to use a cell phone, write, operate a motorized wheelchair and hug friends and family.
Dr. Liu explained that Kris regained two spinal cord levels which meant the difference between some movement or no movement at all. The difference between personal dignity and total dependence.
AST-OPC1 cells are being developed at California-based Asterias Biotherapeutics using embryonic cells and converting them into cells normally found in the brain and spinal cord and whose function it is to support the healthy functioning of nerve cells. The trials are testing the safety of injecting high doses of AST-OPC1 cells.
Doctors have not guaranteed that Kris' recovery will progress further, but stem cell research is continuing and seems to hold great promise for people living with serve spinal injuries.
Mary MacElveen 2 July 2019 at 05:39
This is fantastic! Using stem cells is promising to help those who need it most. I hope that the use of stem cells can reverse spinal chord injuries which leave many paralyzed and help others with other devastating diseases. Thank you, doctors and scientists.

IRVING, Texas - College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock touted the new postseason system today at Conference USA Media Day.
Hancock said the new format, which will pit four teams based on strength of schedule, head-to-head results, comparison of results against common opponents, championships won and other factors, will be a welcome change for college football fans across the country.
"Our bowl games on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day will change the paradigm of those holidays in our country," he said. "I told someone yesterday that New Year's Eve will be forever different."
Hancock added that the new system won't affect college football's identity.
"Our identity in college football is Saturdays," he said. "It's not postseason tournament. When you think of college football, you think of Saturdays. It's beautiful. It's magical, and we could not afford to lose that. So we didn't. This even benefits everyone in the FBS."

It's kind of astonishing: Windows users had to wait nearly a quarter century, until Windows Vista, for an OS with really good search features.
Windows XP Search may be the worst of all, with an interface that's as patronizing as it is sluggish and confusing.

Мешади Эйюб Хаджи Садыг оглы Садыхов (; 1866, Шуша, Шушинский уезд, Елизаветпольская губерния, Российская империя — 5 августа 1909, Шуша, Шушинский уезд, Елизаветпольская губерния, Российская империя) — азербайджанский поэт XIX века, член литературного общества «Меджлиси-фарамушан».

Биография
Мешади Эйюб родился в 1866 году в городе Шуша. Он был братом другого поэта — Мешади Насира Лёвхи, члена литературного кружка «Меджлиси-унс». После учёбы в медресе он получил специальное образование у Мирзы Карима, считающегося одним из известных учёных Шуши, и близко познакомился с классической восточной литературой. Далее занимался торговлей и в одно время жил в городе Шираз. Мешади Эйюб скончался в возрасте 43 лет в 1909 году в родном городе.

Творчество
Мешади Эйюб писал произведения под псевдонимом «Баки». Основу его литературного наследия составляет диван из 90 страниц, написанный в 1891 году по просьбе Мир Мохсуна Навваба в память для друзей. Диван включает в себя до двух тысяч бейтов газелей, касыд, тахмисов, тарджибендов, рубаи, баяты, шикесте и фардов. Однако, в других материалах и сборниках встречаются произведения Баки, не входящие в диван. Основой творчества поэта является жанр газелей классической поэзии, как и у большинства членов литературного общества «Меджлиси-фарамушан». Из имеющихся у него газелей видно, что он был глубоко знаком с восточной поэзией. В газелях поэта, где воспевается чистая любовь, игривость, простота и понимание языка соединяются в единстве. Характерными чертами этих газелей являются внутренняя рифмовка и повторение.

"When the arts thrive, the area and the region thrive. Art tells others who we really are, how we feel and what we think of ourselves. By allowing ourselves to be fully immersed in the joy of this experience our ideas awaken from sleep and define who we are again and what we want to communicate."
As passionate glass artists working in Pittsburgh, Ron and Kathleen envisioned a place that would attract top artists but also welcome the novice artist and non-artists who would be intrigued by the conveyance of thoughtful works through a new medium. With the help and support of the Urban Redevelopment Authority and William Block, a passionate art collector and businessman, their vision was realized in 2001 when the Pittsburgh Glass Center opened its doors to the public.
Today, it is one of the top glass art facilities in the United States helping the city connect to its creative future through the innovative use of glass as art. Kathleen, originally from Newark, NJ, studied art receiving an MFA from Alfred University. Kathleen came to Pittsburgh to direct and build the Glass Program at Carnegie Mellon University '76-'89. Ron, born in Clearfield, PA, came from Akron, Ohio to gain an MFA from Carnegie Mellon University where he studied with Ed Eberle, renowned Ceramic Artist and met Kathleen and their lifelong partnership began.
You can't talk about Ron without talking about Kathleen or vice versa. The two talents have been a team for almost 40 years; both are talented artists. They were co-founders of the Pittsburgh Glass Center, accomplishing what no one believed possible, an arts center that is still thriving. Appropriately they were honored together as Artists of the Year in 2013-14 by PA Governor Tom Corbett.
Yet as much as they worked and lived together, sharing a creative vision, they were individuals pursuing their own paths. Ron, with a BS in art education from the University of Akron and an MFA in sculpture from Carnegie Mellon, where he met Kathleen, was a multi-disciplinary artist: a painter, a ceramist, a glass maker. He was an artist who mastered new mediums to communicate his ideas. One thing that connected all his work is the layering of ideas and forms. In his paintings, he recycled art history, finding new meaning in historical works. In his recent glass, he reinvented the process of making glass, producing black lidded vessels that contrasted with the transparent and pristine qualities of most glass work. This work was inspired by and made in nature. His newest pieces travel to surrealism as he arranged old and new smaller pieces into quixotic and thought-provoking assemblages that reflect sculptural concerns. They seem particularly pertinent to our fractured present.
His career has been full of successes—shows, commissions, publications, honors, residencies—and his work is in major collections, including the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Corning Museum of Glass, as well as several private collections.
Most of all, Ron was a true mensch, a man who loved to cook, who built his house and studio, who surrounded himself with other creative talents, making a fantastic circle of friends, some of whom were with him when he died after a battle with cancer. He was the best kind of human being, a kind, compassionate guy who loved and supported his wife and his friends and who made a difference in our creative world.
"It was thrilling to help bring Kathleen and Ron's vision of a world class facility to life. I am so proud of what PGC has become: A glass artists' Mecca, providing the finest creative experience for novice and professional."
Founding Board Chair of the Pittsburgh Glass Center Karen Block Johnese's passion for glass started when her parents William and Maxine Block became avid glass collectors in the 1990s. She was instantly attracted to the idea for a public access glass art organization where everyone could share in her love of the art. She got involved with PGC while serving as community affairs director at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Western Pennsylvania's largest newspaper owned by Block Communications, her family's business. Karen was instrumental to the establishment of PGC in the early years. She secured the organization's non-profit status in 1998, recruited the first board of directors and helped raise over three million dollars to build a world-class facility and open its doors. Karen worked tirelessly in those early years to connect the artistic and administrative visions for Pittsburgh Glass Center. Karen was the hardworking board chair of PGC for five years from 1998 to 2003, a time that was critical to the development of the young organization. In the fall of 2003, Karen left the newspaper business to become the executive director at Pittsburgh Glass Center, a role she held for the next four years. During Karen's tenure as executive director, the organization experienced growth and embarked on its first strategic plan. In 2007 under Karen's direction, PGC hosted the Glass Art Society Conference and was a principle player in the year-long city-wide event "Pittsburgh Celebrates Glass!"

I recently acquired an item that will become an indispensable tool.
The Coravin Model 2 is a device that will allow me to sample wines, especially red wines, without having to open a bottle. That means that I can check a wine repeatedly, as it is aging.
I happen to like well aged red wines. There are a few red wines that are better when young; but in general, if a wine is allowed to age in a cool, dark cellar it becomes better overall, as the flavors gets better integrated and the tannins subside.
Up to now, I would have to acquire a number of bottles; sometimes an entire case of a wine I want to age. When you don't have large cellar space -- I live in a condo apartment -- you end up with too many boxes and bottles and too little space to store them.
The way the Coravin works is that you insert a long needle through the cork, you inject a neutral gas in the bottle, and you get a small amount of wine, about 1/3 to 1/2 glass. When the needle is withdrawn the cork closes behind it; the inert gas prevents oxidation as no air is allowed to enter the bottle, and you can re-taste the wine if you wish at a later date. You can taste what's in a bottle numerous times without having to finish the bottle once you open it. This way, good wine does not go to waste (but my wife will probably be upset because we use a lot of the wines I taste in our kitchen).
I used the Coravin to sample a number of wines that were sent to me from both famous producers, like Chateau Montelena Estate in California and Donnafugata in Sicily, and not-as-well-known producers like Ravage also from California and Bodegas Emilio Moro from Sanchomartin and Valderramiro in Spain.
The Coravin can also be used in screw-capped wines as you can get plastic screw-caps with a membrane that can be punctured by the needle. The original metal screw-cap gets removed and the plastic, membrane-topped-cap gets installed. It will only keep wines from oxidizing for 3 months and that is enough time to allow a screw-capped bottle to be drunk slowly. Anyway, screw-capped bottles are supposed to be consumed within a year or less from bottling, because the modern screw-cap is only used for wines that have short lives. That's why mostly whites and ros�s are screw-capped. Red wines that need aging are still capped with cork because cork allows for micro-oxidation that smooths the wine and tames the tannins.
The 2013 Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable Napa Valley wine. Of course, Chateau Montelena is well known to the public for their Chardonnay, one of the two California wines that surpassed French grand cru bottles in the 1976 Judgment of Paris -- a blind tasting by numerous French wine writers and critics, where an English wine importer pitted Grand Cru wines from Bordeaux chateaus against wines from American wineries, and 2 American wines -- a Cabernet Sauvignon from Stag's Leap and a Chardonnay from Chateau Montelena -- were deemed better and garnered more overall points than the equivalent Grand Crus!
The Montelena "Cabernet Sauvignon"�� is actually a blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.5% Cabernet Franc and 1.5% Petit Verdot; clean and fresh with a long finish featuring rounded tannins and dominant fruit. I would rate it at 95/100 points. The mid-palate offers a considerable predominance of black fruit, strawberries, cedar and espresso coffee. Very drinkable indeed and will only improve with time.
2015 Ravage, is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 10% Zinfandel, 3% Syrah and 1% other reds. It is a pleasant wine, though not as clean or as long as the Montelena Cabernet. Dark berries predominate on the palate with hints of vanilla, cigar-box and mocha. It is well structured, with rather soft tannins. Has a little less alcohol (13.5%) than the Montelena (14.1%).
Donnafugata is one of the best Sicilian wine producers. In the US it is better known for whites, but some of the reds they produce are also very well received. Sherazade, is made from the Sicilian varietal Nero d'Avola. It is vinified in stainless steel and sees no oak, therefore is a bit lighter and fresher, more aromatic and fruity compared to the other reds. Dazzling clean acidity elevates this wine to levels usually only reserved for French or Chilean Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blends. Fresh black cherry fruit and fragrant spice aromas guide the palate into hints of dark chocolate, with lush cherry and blackberry flavors. It is also considerably inexpensive, selling in the US for under $20, depending on the region.

Many caregivers install sand boxes and playground equipment sets on their properties to increase the amount of fun their kids can have. Ready access to playground equipment is a wonderful thing to provide for children but it does come with attendant dangers. Concerned caregivers can take some simple precautions to help lessen the risks associated with such equipment. The first key to a safe playground is selecting an appropriate and safe area in which to place the equipment. Select a spot that is flat and level, which will drain water well and not become muddy. Stationary equipment components should be placed within the selected field so that they are at least six to eight feet away from one another. If swings are installed separately from other equipment, they should be placed at least twenty feet away from walls (so that children cannot fly off the swings into walls).
Once the space is selected, it should be prepared to create a softer landing place for potential falls and accidents. Gravel and blacktop are not appropriate for a playground, and even grass isn't a very good solution because normal wear will create bald and compacted, hard spots in the soil. Caregivers should cover the play area with a rubber or synthetic mat or with sand, wood chips, or loose rubber bits in an adequate area around all play equipment. Follow manufacturers' guidelines about how far to extend the play mat around the equipment.
The next step in ensuring a safe playground consists of selecting equipment that is designed for the child's age and size. While buying larger, more complex playground equipment may seem like a good investment that children can "grow into", such equipment may actually set up a hazardous situation. Instead, select equipment best suited for the child's present stage of development and then build on that basic equipment purchase as the child grows.
When purchasing playground equipment, make sure that it meets the American Society for Testing and Materials standards. The equipment should have an ASTM F 1148 label. When installing the equipment, caregivers should make sure that they read and follow all manufacturers' instructions to ensure that the equipment is properly placed, anchored, assembled, and padded.
For home sand boxes, caregivers should help keep the space as hygienic as possible. Silica-based "beach" sand is a safe choice for sandboxes. Limestone-based sand may contain asbestos, which is harmful to children's lungs. When not in use, sand boxes should be tightly covered to prevent pets and wild critters from using them as a litter box.
As children grow, they should be taught rules for playing safely on playground equipment and with other children. Playground safety ultimately comes down to helping children make wise and thoughtful choices about how to use the available equipment. All adult efforts at creating a safe play area will be for nothing if children make poor or dangerous choices while playing. The imperative for caregivers to teach their children how to play safely is a wonderful opportunity for adults to model and to teach good decision-making. Close adult supervision to enforce playground rules is also required.
Another outdoor family pleasure spot that requires constant, absolute adult supervision is the family swimming pool. As previously mentioned, babies and young children can drown silently in as little as one inch of standing water. Even a puddle can present a lethal challenge to a hapless infant. Consequently, children must never be allowed near the swimming pool without direct and constant adult supervision. Infant and young children's access to pool areas must be absolutely blocked when no adult supervision is available. Families can purchase electronic pool alarms that will alert adults when an unsupervised child has entered the pool. However, these units can be expensive. Another more economic choice is to situate the pool inside a locked gate or fence that children cannot access on their own from the outside. Families may also purchase pool covers to prevent pool access; however, adults need to check the cover often to make sure that no gaps have formed along the perimeter that will allow water access.
While providing "floaties" or inflatable arm and body pillows may add fun to children learning how to swim, caregivers should not trust these devices to prevent babies and young children from drowning. Such devices may easily become deflated or punctured and lose their buoyancy. Even when properly inflated, such devices are often not sufficient to keep children's faces out of the water. "Floaties" are thus absolutely useless as infant life preservers. Even baby swimming lessons are not a insurance policy against drowning. Adults who are trained how to swim can become overwhelmed in a stressful situation and unable to use that skill. Adult supervision is truly the key component that must be present if kids are to be kept safe while swimming.
What is true regarding safety for in-ground or large swimming pools also applies to kiddie wading pools and other temporary "toy" pools. Adults should constantly monitor the use of such wading pools. Caregivers should empty wading pools after each use and store them upside down (or deflated, if they are inflatable) so as not to create a drowning hazard, should the basin accidentally become refilled during an unsupervised period (such as after a rain storm). Any adults that provide poolside supervision should also be trained (and retrained each year) in how to provide effective CPR and first aid for children.

Q: Remove Stack Snippets on Meta Stackexchange Stack snippets are available on this meta.stackexchange.com site, but as mentioned in the initial meta post about them there was no discussion as to whether they should be here or not.
I would suggest they be disabled / removed from this site.
We get many off-topic programming / code questions here, and the fact that the snippets buttons render within the questions gives those questions a sense of legitimacy, potentially indicating to the poster that their question is actually valid here, when that is likely not the case.
I'm sure there are some valid use-cases for having them around - sandbox testing for instance - but that could be mitigated by referring people to the a sandbox post on MSO instead.
Do we need stack snippets on a site dedicated to questions about Stack Exchange? We would still be able to discuss them, but I don't think there's a need to actually implement them here.

A: I believe the reason is that the team plan to enable the Snippets on other sites, at some point, so the proper meta for bugs related to the Stack Snippets is/will be MSE.
This is why it is enabled here, in my opinion, and I really don't think that someone who failed to notice it's the wrong place to begin with will notice this missing icon and suddenly realize "Hey, it's not Stack Overflow!".
So I don't think we should remove this from MSE. Let it live, and as usual deal with the off topic questions as they arrive.

Celebrate the occasion as the locals do: by indulging in some delicious barbecue and quintessential Aussie favourites, paired perfectly with live music and the great outdoors.
Australia's National Day, also known affectionately as Australia Day, falls on January 26 this year. Celebrate the occasion as the locals do: by indulging in some delicious barbecue and quintessential Aussie favourites, paired perfectly with live music and the great outdoors. The Margaret River region, known for its gourmet offerings, delicious wines and stunning ocean views, will play host to a slew of exciting celebrations this holiday weekend. We've rounded up the best – and most delicious – Australia Day celebrations in Margaret River.
Spring Valley lamb chops. Marinated Black Angus fillet steak. Homemade lamingtons and Aussie pavlova. You'll be spoiled for choice at the sumptuous BBQ buffet organised by the Pullman Bunker Bay.
Set in a picturesque terrace overlooking the blissful Bunker Bay, guests can indulge in a traditional Australian barbecue alongside a selection of tasty cocktails and spirits. Local songstress Jay Le Kat supplements the dreamy mood with her dulcet tones and jazz band.
Australia's rich waters are known for their stellar catch – so it's only befitting that the best seafood from the region gets paired with the best bubbly.
Tucked away amidst the region's premier vineyards, Cape Lodge is an upscale country lodge that features a serene restaurant that overlooks the property's own private lake. On Australia Day, the Lodge's beautiful lakeside restaurant will host a two-hour seafood BBQ and champagne brunch – expect to see only the freshest selection of succulent prawns, marron and scallops on the barbie.
There is no shortage of beautiful beaches in Margaret River, but Smith Beach comes close to being one of the best. Powdery sands and sprawling sea views await here, as well as an upscale, modern Australian restaurant, Lamont's.

U.S. financial markets will pause Monday in observance of Presidents Day — which, technically, is not the name of the holiday.
The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will be closed on Feb. 15. And the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, or Sifma, is recommending no trading in dollar-denominated securities, meaning the closely watched 10-year Treasury note TMUBMUSD10Y, 1.209% — as well as interest rates for money markets and certificates of deposit — will join the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.09%, the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.47% and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.50% in a static state.
And trading in futures and options on CME Group CME, +0.91% exchanges will also be halted on Monday. In other words, there will be no settlements in trading in gold futures GCJ21, -0.09% or crude oil CL.1, 1.85%. However, traders will be able to deal in commodities on the Globex platform, with a pause starting after 1 p.m. Eastern.
So, here's the skinny on so-called Presidents Day. Congress declared Washington's Birthday a holiday in 1879, according to the Library of Congress. The republic's first president was born on Feb. 22, 1732.
A number of sources indicate that the holiday was at first only celebrated within the District of Columbia but became widely recognized as a federal holiday in 1885, marking the first time an American individual was memorialized via a bank holiday.
The Uniform Holidays Act of 1968 changed the day of commemoration to the third Monday of February. The Library of Congress's website says that the day's designation was never changed to Presidents Day formally but is often referred to by that name because Feb. 12 is the birthday of the 16th U.S. president, Abraham Lincoln.
The holiday is still often referred to as Washington's Birthday, and it is recognized by that name at the Intercontinental Exchange Inc.-owned ICE, -0.21% New York Stock Exchange.
It is that history of recognizing, initially, one president and then, later, two presidents, or the presidency in general, that may be to blame for the style variations that tend to occur in written references to Presidents Day — or alternately, President's Day or Presidents' Day.
Presidents Day is the preferred style for such journalistic standard setters as the Associated Press Stylebook (whose Twitter account tends to tweet a reminder annually) and The Wall Street Journal's style guide.
Meanwhile, Canadian markets are closed in observance of Family Day, which coincides with Presidents Day in the U.S. in falling on the third Monday in February. Trading on European markets, and movements in such benchmarks as the Stoxx Europe 600 SXXP, 1.04% and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 UKX, 1.76%, are slated to be under way as usual on Monday.

is a Japanese-born  American physicist and computer security expert.  He is known for helping the FBI track and arrest hacker Kevin Mitnick. Takedown, his 1996 book on the subject with journalist John Markoff, was later adapted for the screen in Track Down in 2000.

Shimomura was a founder of semiconductor company Neofocal Systems, and served as CEO and CTO until 2016.

Biography
Born in Japan, Shimomura is the son of Osamu Shimomura, winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He grew up in Princeton, New Jersey, and attended Princeton High School.

At Caltech  he studied under Nobel laureate Richard Feynman.  After Caltech, he went on to work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he continued his hands-on education in the position of staff physicist with Brosl Hasslacher and others on subjects such as Lattice Gas Automata.

In 1989, he became a research scientist in computational physics at the University of California, San Diego, and senior fellow at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Shimomura also became a noted computer security expert, working for the National Security Agency.

In 1992, he testified before Congress on issues regarding the privacy and security (or lack thereof) on cellular telephones.
Author Bruce Sterling described his first meeting with Shimomura in the documentary Freedom Downtime:

He is best known for events in 1995, when he assisted with tracking down the computer hacker Kevin Mitnick. In that year Shimomura also received prank calls which popularized the phrase "My kung fu is stronger than yours", equating it with hacking. Shimomura and journalist John Markoff wrote a book, Takedown, about the pursuit, and the book was later adapted into a movie with a very similar name, Track Down. Shimomura, himself, appeared in a brief cameo in the movie.

Shimomura worked for Sun Microsystems during the late 1990s.

Shimomura was a founder of privately held fabless semiconductor company Neofocal Systems, and served as CEO and CTO until 2016.

Criticism
Kevin Mitnick and others have raised legal and ethical questions concerning Shimomura's involvement in his case. California author Jonathan Littman wrote a 1996 book about the case called The Fugitive Game: Online with Kevin Mitnick, in which he presented Mitnick's side of the story, which was a very different version from the events written in Shimomura and Markoff's Takedown. In his book, Littman made allegations of journalistic impropriety against Markoff and questioned the legality of Shimomura's involvement in the matter, as well as suggesting that many parts of Takedown were fabricated by its authors for self-serving purposes. Mitnick's autobiography, Ghost in the Wires, further expands on concerns that Shimomura's involvement in the case was both unethical and illegal.
