VA: Muslims Ask Rep. Goode to Explain Comments
Posted by Cair Webmaster 23sc on February 19, 2007
GROUP WANTS CONGRESSMAN VIRGIL GOODE TO EXPLAIN COMMENTS ABOUT MUSLIMS
WASHINGTON - A Muslim group said Monday it had invited Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., to expand on biting remarks he made last week during debate on a House resolution disapproving of President Bush's decision to send more than 21,000 U.S. troops into Iraq.
The Muslim American Public Affairs Council has "extended this invitation to Congressman Goode to give him a venue to explain his recent comments about Muslims and Islam," MAPAC Executive Director Marc Conaghan said in a statement. MAPAC also asked Goode to share a dialogue with Jamal Badawi, an Islamic and comparative religion scholar.
Goode's position on the invitation wasn't clear Monday evening. Phone calls to Goode's office went unanswered. Most government offices were closed on Monday for observation of the President's Day holiday.
MAPAC, based in Raleigh, N.C., also did not immediately return messages seeking further comment.
Goode's remarks recently have raised eyebrows among U.S. Muslim groups.
Last week, Goode said the nonbinding resolution would provide "comfort and encourage the radical Muslims who want to destroy our country." He also said Islamic jihadists want U.S. currency to say "In Muhammad We Trust," with an Islamic flag flying over the White House and U.S. Capitol.

In Europe the best wool is English, in England the best wool is Cotswold. The golden age of the Cotswolds came with the growth of the wool trade in medieval times. Wool from the long thick fleece of the native Cotswold breed of sheep – the "Cotswold Lion" – provided more than half of England's cloth production and was also exported directly to the continent. This trading, processing and weaving brought great wealth to the Cotswolds, particularly to the wool merchants who handled much of the business.
Investment was made in fine houses and in the endowment of the "wool churches" which we still see, use and enjoy all over the area. Most of the major towns have a wool church, in which the brasses of benefactors are displayed. Northleach, Chipping Campden, Fairford and Cirencester are among the best known, but virtually every village will show some of the wool trade wealth trickling down to the benefit of its local church during the 13th-15th centuries. The quality of the local stone allowed for a great deal of intricate details to be included in church architecture.
Many churches are of course much older than medieval, and there is a rich tradition of Saxon and especially Norman architecture to be seen.
18th century church interiors offer a feeling of quiet simplicity. Many have not survived intact but look at Didmarton, and enjoy the simplicity of remote churches off the beaten track in places such as Little Rollright, Widford and Oddington.
Victorian church restoration did much damage but also produced some interesting new work. As with all buildings, there is change as well as renewal. From the 8th century to the present day, the churches of the Cotswolds are some of the best in the country. They are a rich treasure, and well worth exploring.

Bernanke's Coming QT1 Will Doom Obama's Re-election

The chickens of quantitative easing -- and the devaluation of the dollar that it is causing -- are coming home to roost. Bloomberg reported on March 4 that commodities have reached a two-year high, while cocoa has reached a 32-year high. The Financial Times noted that cotton prices have climbed "above the price reached during the cotton embargo of the American civil war in the 1860s. Trading reports have excitedly pegged the price of oil somewhere around $100 -- well above its $53 average for 2009, not to mention its $23 average for 2001.
It takes a little while for commodity price increases to begin to percolate into the consumer price index. It takes months, though, not years. There are many who expect the broad inflation measures to become uncomfortably high by 2012, perhaps even by 2011
Although rising prices are a symptom of monetary depreciation -- not of economic growth -- what's a Federal Reserve Chairman stuck with a world dollar reserve system going to do? If he's Ben Bernanke then he will honor his declaration that "the most important lesson of all is that price stability should be a key objective of monetary policy."
Among the steps such a chairman is bound to take will be an initial quantitative tightening: QT1. This and other tightening measures in an effort to unwind his burst of super-liquidity will tip the American and world economies back toward a slowdown. Now, a withdrawal of excess liquidity -- if done with precision -- would strengthen the dollar and be good for growth. This is laudable in theory, and not recessionary. A strong dollar is pro-growth.
In the grim reality of the world dollar system, however, this is virtually impossible. Vivek Ranadivé, the smartest guy in Silicon Valley you've never heard of, astutely wrote in 2007, "If you applied the Federal Reserve approach to ensuring a suitable temperature in your home, you would turn the heater on and off every three months, overheating or under-heating your house."
That's precisely what seems to happen to the economy. A not-too-hot or too-cold "Goldilocks economy" is what, in theory, the Federal Reserve aims toward. Ironically, four of the past five tightening campaigns (1973, 1980, 1990, 1994, 2001) initiated by the Federal Reserve resulted in recession.
Ranadivé's company, TIBCO, writes and installs the code by which multinational corporations manage their inventories with great precision, according to protocols (real time rather than batch data processing) eerily similar to those of the classical gold standard. Due to the inherent imprecision of the governance protocols available to the governors of the Federal Reserve, and because of the system's systemic lack of real-time data, it is technically virtually impossible for the Fed to tighten without causing a recession.
Unless Bernanke procrastinates badly -- and recklessly -- the resulting slowdown, and probable downturn, is likely to become visible well before Nov. 6, 2012. QT1, perhaps this year, perhaps next, almost certainly will influence, and perhaps doom, Obama's prospects for re-election.
Is there another way? As it happens…
Rising prices caused by dollar weakness brought about by Bernanke's aggressive "quantitative easing" already are gaining wide notice. On March 17, the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy will be conducting hearings on monetary policy and rising prices under the direction of Chairman Rep. Ron Paul and Vice Chairman Rep. Walter Jones.
Considering the distinguished witnesses being called -- former Reagan Gold Commissioner Lewis E. Lehrman, with whom this writer has a professional association, James Grant, publisher of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, and Joseph Salerno, Chair of the Economics Graduate Program at Pace University -- these may be the most important monetary hearings to be held on Capitol Hill since the Nixon Shock that "temporarily" closed the gold window in 1971.
In a press release announcing the hearings, Rep. Paul decries that the "price inflation Americans suffer today is largely the direct result of relentless monetary expansion by the Federal Reserve over the past decade," and Rep. Jones notes how "working people … are being squeezed at the gas pump and in the grocery store as they struggle to make ends meet in a world in which their salaries have no chance of keeping up with Mr. Bernanke's printing presses."
Bernanke is among the few living monetary authorities with some theoretical grasp of the gold standard. He observed, in an NBER Working Paper written with Harold James, that the sustained deflation that was the precipitating factor of the Great Depression was not the fault of the gold standard, but was "the result of a mismanaged international gold standard."
During his remarks at Washington and Lee University in 2004, Bernanke noted that
The gold standard appeared to be highly successful from about 1870 to the beginning of World War I in 1914. During the so-called 'classical gold standard period, international trade and capital flows expanded markedly, and central banks experienced relatively few problems ensuring that their currencies retained their legal value.
He also recognizes that "unlike the gold standard before World War I … the gold standard as reconstituted in the 1920s [Ed. Note: the 'gold-exchange standard'] proved to be both unstable and destabilizing."
Perhaps it is not too much to hope that Bernanke will decide that he does not wish to be remembered as Helicopter Ben. Or remembered as the Chairman who muddled through the boom-and-bust cycle of inherently unstable inconvertible dollars. He has the opportunity to add extraordinary luster to his legacy by beginning the process of transforming the rattletrap of the world dollar standard into something less dependent on the baling wire and glue of QEs and QTs.
Treasury Secretary Geithner said before a recent hearing of a House Appropriations subcommittee that the SDR as a replacement for the dollar is not viable.
There is only one real option. Rather than play "Recession Roulette" with the world economy Bernanke could stabilize prices under a regime with an excellent track record for prosperity by putting the world back on the course of resuming a classical gold standard.
Presidents and Federal Reserve chairmen come and go. Few are long remembered; fewer still, fondly. An opportunity beckons to make, rather than be recorded in, history. Bring forth, Mr. Chairman, what you yourself termed a "highly successful" monetary policy: multilateral and domestic gold convertibility. Prosperity will ensue.

Woman Fatally Struck by 7 Train in Sunnyside Friday After Jumping Off Platform: NYPD
A woman was fatally struck by a 7 train Friday at the 40th Street–Lowery Street station (Photo Google Maps)
April 18, 2022 By Michael Dorgan
A woman was fatally struck by a No. 7 train early Friday after she jumped off a subway platform in Sunnyside onto the tracks, according to police.
The victim, believed to have been in her 20s, leaped off the platform at the 40th Street–Lowery Street station onto the tracks in an apparent suicide at around 4 a.m. She was hit by an oncoming Manhattan bound train, according to police.
First responders pronounced the woman dead at the scene and removed her body from the tracks.
No criminality is suspected, police said. The woman's identity has not been released.
The police were unable to provide any further details. The NYPD is continuing the investigation.


The reproducible results obtained by different methods showed that only six cocrystals formed. The crystal structures of the four novel cocrystals, succinic acid?2,2′-bipyridine (1:1, P21/c, I), succinic acid?diphenylcyclopropenone (1:2, P21/c, II), 4-aminobenzoic acid?antipyrine (1:1, P21, III) and 4-aminobenzoic acid?phenazine (1:2, P, IV), are reported. The computed crystal energy landscapes of the cocrystals and their components show why succinic acid(cas:110-15-6) 1,4-dicyanobenzene did not form a cocrystal as well as predicting the observed structure of succinic acid(cas:110-15-6) 2,2′-bipyridine as the most stable. The most stable hypothetical structures of a 1:1 succinic acid(cas:110-15-6) 1,4-dicyanobenzene cocrystal are closely related to those of the components.
In satisfaction of the foregoing objects and advantages, there is provided by the present invention ethoxylated esters of succinic acid(cas:110-15-6) succinic anhydride which are useful as dispersants and more particularly, ester reaction products of long chain hydrocarbyl substituted succinic anhydride with polyethoxylated alcohols and use of these compositions as dispersants or surface active agents.

Newsflash: Prince William And Kate Middleton Are On Instagram And Twitter
Marie Claire January 15, 2015 10:37 am
Photo of Kate and Wills Instagram
Kensington Palace, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, has quietly joined the digital age
Hold the front page – Wills and Kate have finally entered the 21st century with (almost) personal Twitter and Instagram accounts.
With no public announcement, instagram.com/kensingtonroyal and twitter.com/kensingtonroyal officially started posting this week – but be warned – so far, so boring.
The first Instagram photo shared by our favourite royals features a grainy (they clearly haven't got the hang of filters yet) shot of St James Palace, with the caption: 'Prince Harry, joined by NBA All-star Carmelo Anthony, presented the first #Coachcore programme graduates with their certificates at St James's Palace today. #Coachcore is a programme developed by the #RoyalFoundation to train young people who are struggling to find positive prospects, to become professional sports coaches and mentors.'
Quickly followed by a shot of Prince Harry posing with retired NBA player Dikembe Mutombo and the caption: 'Prince Harry stands on tiptoes but still fails to measure up to retired NBA player Dikembe Mutombo who stands 7ft 2 inches tall at the #Coachcore graduation ceremony today. The NBA are supporting the #Royal'
We hope they catch on to our favourite Instagram pastimes of selfies, nights out with celebrity pals (we're looking at you here, Prince Harry) and cute pictures of Prince George.

with coffee as we are in sync in a way that defies all odds. So naturally everything that relates to coffee (including a possible coffee therapy tip) I am interested in.
involves a very important thing in my life plus I would try anything coffee related at least once.
did not have a choice as I had to put my game face on to tackle my day.
1. Get a dry bowl.
2. Put 3/4 tablespoon of ground coffee beans.
4. Mix thoroughly until oil is well mixed.
5. Apply on face and leave on for 10 minutes.
6. Rinse with cool water.
The change was instant, my skin came out brighter and by morning of the next day, my acne had dried up and the black spots on my face had faded. I felt like a million bucks.

Q: local variables referenced from a lambda expression must be final or effectively final при фильтрации символов в строке Решаю задачку. В общем, начальную строку нужно преобразовать в новую, заменив все повторяющиеся символы на правую скобочку ')', а все уникальные - на левую '('.
Мое решение:
public class DuplicateEncoder {
  static String encode(String word) {
    String newWord = "";
    char[] chArray = word.toCharArray();
    for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
      if (word.chars().filter(num -> num == chArray[i]).count() > 1)
        { newWord = newWord + "("; }
      else
        { newWord = newWord + ")"; }
    }
    return newWord;
  }
}

В нем такая ошибка:
/workspace/java/src/DuplicateEncoder.java:6: error: local variables referenced from a lambda expression must be final or effectively final
      if (word.chars().filter(num -> num == chArray[i]).count() > 1)
                                                    ^
1 error

Как исправить эту ошибку?

A: Захваченное лямбда-выражением локальное значение должно быть effectively final. Этого можно добиться, например, с помощью создания final-переменной:
final ch = chArray[i];
if (word.chars().filter(num -> num == ch).count() > 1)

А вообще можно переписать решение, чтобы оно работало не за O(n^2), а за O(n) (n - длина слово).
Для этого достаточно проходить по слову два раза: первый раз для подсчета количества вхождений символов и сохранения результатов в Map, а второй - для сбора итоговой строки по данным из Map.
Также для сбора строки лучше использовать StringBuilder, а не конкатенацию строк.
Итоговый код:
static String encode(String word)
{
    HashMap<Character, Integer> charToCount = new HashMap<>();
    char[] chars = word.toLowerCase().toCharArray();
    for (char ch : chars)
    {
        int currentCount = charToCount.containsKey(ch) ? charToCount.get(ch) : 0;
        charToCount.put(ch, currentCount + 1);
    }
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(word.length());
    for (char ch : chars)
    {
        char replaceChar = charToCount.get(ch) == 1 ? '(' : ')';
        sb.append(replaceChar);
    }
    return sb.toString();
}

P.S. Зашел на сайт задания - нужно ещё игнорировать регистр букв, добавил это в код

2.4 When You receive the Booking Confirmation please check the details carefully and inform the Company immediately if anything is incorrect.
2.5 A provisional or conditional booking is not binding and You may cancel it at any time before the Booking Confirmation is sent out to You by the Company. Similarly the Company may hire the boat to another party in place of You at any time before a Booking Confirmation has been sent to You.
2.6 Nothing in these Conditions affects Your statutory rights.
3.1 The Company's advertised Prices are in pounds sterling (£) and include Value Added Tax (VAT). If the rates of VAT or any other government tax are changed so that a different rate applies to Your hire under these Conditions any difference will be charged, or refunded, to You as the case may be.

You must be authorised by all other members of Your party to enter into the Agreement and accept the Boat Hire Conditions on their behalf. The full names and permanent addresses of all members of Your party, with the ages of children, must be provided to the Company at the time of booking. All changes in Your party (the addition, substitution or removal of any member of the party) which take place at any time after the Booking Confirmation has been issued (including during the Hire Period) must be communicated in writing and approved by the Company (such approval is subject to these Conditions, but otherwise not to be unreasonably withheld). You are responsible for making all members of Your party aware of the terms of the Agreement.
The Company's general policy is that it will not enter into this Agreement for school parties, youth groups, hen or stag parties or for any commercial purpose without more information about the members of the party and the purpose and nature of the hire occasion. If the Company later becomes aware that Your party actually falls within this policy but that You have not disclosed it to the Company then the Company may terminate Your booking. In this event the Deposit and any other part of the Price which you have paid will be retained by the Company and You will remain liable to pay the balance of the Price.
if You or any member of Your Party has any medical problem or disability which may affect Your Booking, please use our Accessibility page to consider whether the Company's boats and the waterways are suitable, before You make Your booking. The Company will do its best to give any further information requested, and recommends personal inspection. If the Company reasonably feels that it cannot meet that person's particular needs, the Company may have to refuse or cancel Your booking.
The Company may cancel Your booking and refuse to hand the Boat over to You if, in its reasonable opinion, You are unsuitable to take charge of the Boat for any reason that may adversely affect the safety of any person or property. In this event (and provided that You have fully complied with Your obligations under this Agreement) the Company will refund the Deposit and any other monies which You have paid to the Company and this Agreement shall be discharged without further liability on either party.
The Company can refuse to hand over the boat if the unreasonable behaviour of anyone in Your party is likely to cause offence to other guests, to members of staff or to waterway users, or if the Company has reasonable cause to believe You or any member of Your party will cause damage or loss to the boat, its services or facilities. If this happens, this Agreement between You and the Company will end and You will not receive any refund and the Company will not have any further responsibility to You. The Company can end a stay after the keys have been handed over, if the unreasonable behaviour of anyone in Your party (including anyone invited onto the boat or property by You) is likely to spoil the enjoyment, comfort or health of other guests, residents, waterway users or members of staff or where You or any member of Your party (or anyone invited on to the boat by you) has broken or is likely to break any of the Agreement, these Boat Hire Conditions, any applicable laws and regulations, or any other terms and conditions applicable to the boat which You have been told about. If this happens, You will have to leave the boat immediately and no refund will be given. You may also be responsible for any costs the Company incurs as a result of Your behaviour.
The Company may repossess the Boat at any time after commencement of the Hire Period if in the reasonable opinion of the Company You are unsuitable to be in charge of the Boat for any reason affecting the safety of any person or property including in particular if You or any member of Your party, or anyone invited onto the boat by You, is or appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs or if You are not behaving responsibly or if there has been a material breach of the terms of this Agreement.
5.1 This Agreement is a legally binding contract and may only be cancelled in accordance with these Conditions.
5.2 If You want to cancel Your Booking You must give the Company written notice (the "Cancellation Notice"). The date of receipt of the Cancellation Notice shall be the effective date of cancellation but in order to increase the prospects of re-letting the boat You should pre-advise the Company of any impending change or cancellation by email or telephone.
5.3 Cancellation terms apply to the whole party and do not provide for partial refunds in the event of withdrawal by one or more members.
5.5 If the Company re-lets the Boat to a new customer for the Hire Period or part of it then the proceeds will first be applied to make up any shortfall between the Cancellation Charge previously paid by You and the full Price of Your holiday.
5.6 Any remainder not exceeding the total previously paid by You will be returned to You after deducting an administration fee of £50 for each replacement booking together with any commission paid to agents for re-letting the boat.
5.7 Any holiday may be cancelled for any reason before 31 December the previous year and the Company will refund all monies paid less any commission paid to agents.
5.8 YOU ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO PROTECT AGAINST CANCELLATION LIABILITIES BY TAKING OUT CANCELLATION INSURANCE.
6.1 The terms of this Agreement and any Booking Confirmation may only be varied with the express agreement of both parties and in accordance with these Conditions.
6.2 If You wish to change details of Your booking so as to retain the same boat and Hire Period, the Company (acting reasonably) will try to accommodate the changes You request, save that the Company shall not be required to suffer any financial loss or to commit to any change which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, is likely to result in a future loss of profit. In the event that any change to your booking is agreed, the Company reserves the right to vary the Price in line with its published prices. Any adjusted Price will be shown on a re-issued Booking Confirmation.
6.3 If you wish to transfer the booking to a different boat or hire period within the same calendar year, at its sole discretion and subject always to availability, the Company may agree to vary the Agreement.
6.4 In the event that the Company agrees to vary the Hire Period or Boat shown in the Booking Confirmation, an administration fee of £20 will become payable by You and the Price will be adjusted in accordance with the Company's published prices. Only one transfer is permitted. With reference to the Company's published prices, no refunds shall be given if any agreed transfer would result in a lesser Price to that shown in the Booking Confirmation issued prior to any transfer.
6.5 In the event that any such transfer is agreed in accordance with Clause 6.4, the Price (as adjusted) shall remain payable in accordance with Clause 3, save that the Price shall be paid no later than 6 weeks before the Start Date shown in the original Booking Confirmation issued prior to any transfer.
7.2 The Company is entitled to recover from You any loss which it suffers as a result of cancellation under any of the provisions of Condition 4 or for breach of Condition 10.1 and it may retain all or part of any payments which You have made as security for such claims. Subject to this if the Company is able to re-let the Boat for all or part of the Hire Period it will give credit for the net sums received as a result of such re-letting and shall prepare and submit to You an account of its claim and of any payment which may be due to You or to the Company within seven (7) days of the End Date.
8.1 The Boat will normally be available between 1.00pm and 5.00pm on the Start Date from the base shown on the Booking Confirmation or in the case of one way trips as otherwise indicated to You, subject to the provisions of Condition 8.7.
8.2. You must notify the Company as soon as possible if Your estimated arrival time is delayed or disrupted as this may lead to difficulties and delays in making the boat available to You. If you arrive late the Company may not be able to complete the handover till the following day. There will be no rebate of the Price for late arrival nor will the Company accept responsibility for any overnight costs which You may incur if you fail to reach the boat during normal working hours.
8.3 Before You take the boat over the Company will give You such instructions, demonstrations and trials as are appropriate, and You will then be required to check and sign the Handover Certificate to indicate that these instructions and demonstrations have been understood.
8.4 In the event that the boat is not available on the Start Date due to any circumstance for which the Company is not responsible (for example adverse weather or navigation conditions, damage, mechanical breakdown, late return by previous hirer) the Company may substitute a boat of similar accommodation or at a different location but if no such boat is available the Company shall refund You any payments You have made.
8.6 If You return the boat late or to the wrong place because of poor planning on Your part or for another reason which is Your responsibility then You will be liable to pay £50 for every hour or part hour of the delay in returning the boat or giving possession and the cost of recovering the Boat to the return point and any other expenses and losses which the Company may incur as a result of the delay including the loss or cancellation of a subsequent booking.

Martin O'Malley worked to brand himself as the Democratic candidate of "actions, not words" during his Iowa Wing Ding speech on Friday.
The former Maryland governor and Baltimore mayor listed the string of progressive accomplishments he hammers on regularly on the campaign trail — increasing funding to public education, banning assault weapons, and a four-year freeze on college tuition. He followed each with the same refrain.
"We expanded family leave and voting rights, we passed driver's licenses for new American immigrants and we banned the sale of assault weapons," he said. "Actions, not words. We fought for the DREAM Act, we fought for marriage equality and we won. Actions, not words."

O'Malley earned applause from the crowd for his speech's tough-on-Wall Street tenor. As president, he'd work to reinstate a version of the Glass-Steagall Act, which limited the types of investments banks could make with customers' money.
The next president can't "give a free pass to the bullies of Wall Street to work over the people of Main Street," O'Malley said.
O'Malley offered up plenty of red meat jabs at Republicans for the audience of Democratic loyalists to eat up alongside their chicken wings. Republicans deny everything from climate change to vaccines, he said.
"Give them a few more weeks, and they'll even be shunning Copernicus," he said.
QUOTE: "This election is not about the big banks. It's not about big money taking over our politics. It's about US — U period. S period."
BEST MOMENT: The crowd cheered as O'Malley credited President Barack Obama with moving the country forward. "As a nation, we have come a long way since the Wall Street crash and the Bush recession of 2008," he said.
AUDIENCE REACTION: O'Malley regularly gets cheers from Iowans by quoting Bruce Springsteen's song "The River." "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true," he asked Friday at the Wing Ding.

Q: JavaScript Closure Scope with two functions I'm struggling with closure scope in a JavaScrit function. The function below should create three swatches with different images (which works), then when these are clicked, should switch the stylesheet.
The problem is that the same object is passed to the switchTheme function even though stepping through shows the theme variable in the first function does change.
var switcherConfig = {
    themes:
        {
            'Orangeness': {
                folder: 'ui-lightness'
            },
            'Red Matter': {
                folder: 'blitzer'
            },
            'Flubber': {
                folder: 'south-street'
            }
        }
}
function createThemeSwitcher(placeholderSelector) {
    for (var themeName in switcherConfig.themes) {
        var theme = switcherConfig.themes[themeName];
        var anchor = $('<a/>')
            //.text(theme.title)
            .attr('title', theme.title)
            .attr('href', '#')
            .on('click', function () { switchTheme(theme); })
            // append to DOM etc
    }
}
function switchTheme(theme) {
    var themeDirectory = switcherConfig.baseDirectory + '/' + theme.folder + '/';
    // 'theme' variable is always the last in my 'themes' config object
}

A: The value used by switchTheme(theme) will be the state that theme is in when the function is called, the value is not bound at the moment you create that anonymous callback. Use a closure to bind that particular value:
.on('click', (function (t) {
    return function () { switchTheme(t); };
})(theme))

A: Move
var theme = switcherConfig.themes[themeName];

to click function
function createThemeSwitcher(placeholderSelector) {
    for (var themeName in switcherConfig.themes) {

        var anchor = $('<a/>')
            //.text(theme.title)
            .attr('title', theme.title)
            .attr('href', '#')
            .on('click', function () {
                         var theme = switcherConfig.themes[themeName];
                         switchTheme(theme);
            })
            // append to DOM etc
    }
}

A: Instead of making closure you can use .data like below (just an alternative):
var switcherConfig = {
    themes:
        {
            'Orangeness': {
                title:"Orangeness",
                folder: 'ui-lightness'
            },
            'Red Matter': {
                                title:'Red Matter',
                folder: 'blitzer'
            },
            'Flubber': {
                title:'Flubber',
                folder: 'south-street'
            }
        }
}
function createThemeSwitcher(placeholderSelector) {
    for (var themeName in switcherConfig.themes) {
        var theme = switcherConfig.themes[themeName];
        var anchor = $('<a/>')
            .data("theme",theme)
            .attr('title', theme.title)
            .attr('href', '#')
            .html(theme.title)
            .on('click', function () { switchTheme($(this).data("theme")); })
            $("body").append(anchor);
    }
}
function switchTheme(theme) {
    alert(theme.title)
}

Thieves escaped with jewellery when two houses were broken into in the Horsham area last week.
Police say that in one break-in, thieves got into a house in Southwater Street, Southwater, through a window at the side of the property some time between 2pm and 4.50pm on January 16.
In another incident, thieves broke into a house in Granary Way, Horsham, last Thursday by forcing open a patio door some time between 3pm and 4.25pm.
Jewellery was stolen from both properties.
Meanwhile, in another incident, someone tried to break into a house in Canberra Place, Horsham, on Friday, but was unsuccessful.


centuries and is exemplified by the medieval villages that cropped up all over Europe.
The rules for constructing a lasting village between the 5th and 15th centuries were fairly simple. It ought to be compact, dense, offer multiple uses and provide limited transportation systems. Within the walls, the village must provide a community that is not just functional, but productive.
Just as it didn't in medieval times, mixed-use development today need not focus exclusively on residential, retail or entertainment.
McDade says she learned that early on while working across the desk from her father, legendary Houston broker Bill McDade. He also taught her the value of hard work.
An added bonus is that McDade's nearly two decades in commercial real estate have all been logged in her hometown of Houston.


The IPCC has released the third part of its Fifth Assessment Report. The first two parts were a summary for policy makers, released in September of 2013, and a report on impacts and vulnerabilities of climate change, released in March of 2014. The third part is about mitigation – what we can do to make things better. A fourth part, a synthesis of all this, will be released in October.
These reports are the result of the work of several thousand experts in climatology, meteorology, and related studies. They are based on the available peer-reviewed literature; just the first part of the report referenced 9,200 of these.
We should bear in mind that there is broad agreement on the reality and causes of climate change among the scientists in the relevant fields, with virtually no denial that the problem exists and is important. Any impression to the contrary is almost certainly the result of inaccurate reporting, the causes of which are subject to speculation.
The first important point of the report is that we are all threatened by climate change, and we must all act to get out of it. Those who fail to act by persisting in the old unsustainable practices are increasing risks and impeding progress. This is not something to let someone else take care of – we must all participate.
The good news is that we can limit the damage. Indeed, we can continue to live comfortably while we address climate change. Furthermore, as it happens, doing this will alleviate poverty in much of the world. This does not require an underlying change in our politics or religious beliefs – it only requires wise action.
One thing we need to do is to understand and implement the principles of sustainable growth. This is the antithesis of making as much money as possible, or getting as much power as possible, without regard to the remote future. This does not mean an end of profit. In fact many companies find that by becoming sustainable, their profits increase. It does mean addressing the issue. It means that cost-benefit analysis can be used, but it may imply that ethical values also be considered fully.
The report indicates that if we can keep the CO2 concentrations below 500 ppm in 2100, then we will probably be able to keep overall global warming to less than 2° C. We are already at 400 ppm, and the number is growing. What we have to do is limit the emissions of all GHGs to nearly 0. This may sound difficult, but the projection is that we can actually do better than that, getting to the point where we remove GHGs from the atmosphere faster than we put them in, if enough of us act quickly and wisely.
The key components of GHG reduction strategy are things we already know and already do. Reduction of fossil fuel use for generating power is vital. It is also imminently achievable using technologies we already have and use. Increasing the use of solar PVs, wind power, hydropower, and biomass are all well known, and can be done wisely. If wisely done, they will limit environmental damage without decreasing comfort. There may be other technologies that can be added to this mix, with the most promising possibly being geothermal power generation. But the key is to make wise choices quickly.
Heating buildings is another important issue for climate change. Here again, the issue can be addressed using known technologies. Increasing effectiveness of insulation and air sealing, and switching to more efficient GHG-free heating systems are key strategies. If we use biomass for heating, it has to be free of particulate emissions. Green Energy Times has run articles on Passive Houses and net-zero buildings, which require nearly no power for heat, and this approach has already been achieved, both for new buildings and for retrofits.
Transportation is another important sector in which improvements can be made. We already have electric vehicles. We also have cars that can be powered with biofuels. We can decrease our emissions while improving health and the condition of our pocketbooks by walking or biking more and using automobiles less. We can also switch to public transportation.
The IPCC report acknowledges that we could reduce some of our carbon emissions by increasing our use of nuclear power and switching from burning coal to burning natural gas. It also clearly states that there are difficulties with both technologies. In particular, natural gas, used in ever greater quantities, is still a fossil fuel, and if what are called "fugitive emissions" of its methane are not eliminated, natural gas can be even worse than coal in producing GHGs. Fugitive emissions are a problem in many places where fracking is done.
The briefest possible summary of the report is that we already know what to do now, and we already have the tools to do it. What we need is to act.


I am EXTRA in love with this weeks mani!
Main Polish: Sephora By O.P.I in Break a Leg-Warmer!
I applied my base coat and then gave all my nails 2 coats of Break a Leg-Warmer.
I applied a fast dry top coat. Once it dried – I used my Nailene Perfect Tips tape on my ring and pointer fingers to create a half-moon shape.
I painted towards the bottom of the tape on my ring and pointer fingers with 2 coats of Read My Palm.
Finally I reapplied the fast dry top coat to my ring and pointer fingers.

"Knives Out" is a great Whodunit with so many twists and turns . The story centers around the family of "Harlan Thrombey" played by Christopher Plummer. He was reknown author with many mystery best sellers.
When "Harlan" is found dead it starts a series of events involving the family. The matriarch of the family is "Linda Drysdale" who is Harlan's oldest daughter played by Jamie Lee Curtis. Her husband "Richard" played by Don Johnson seems like a leech. Their son is "Ransom Drysdale" played by Chris Evans. His character is kind of a jerk. The family also features Michael Shannon who plays Harlan's oldest son "Walt Thrombey". His wife is "Donna" played by Rlki Lindhome. His son is "Jacob " played by Jaeden Martell, who most recently seen in the "It" movies.
Also in the mix is "Joni Thrombey" , played by Toni Collette, who is the widow of one of Harlan's son. Her daughter "Meg" played by Katherine Langford was involved in the plot. One of our favorite characters was "Greatnana Wanetta" played by K Callan. She looked like she was 100 years old.
The man charged with unraveling the mystery was "Benoit Blanc" played by Daniel Craig . He was joined by "Lieutenant Elliot" played by LaKeith Stanfield. Also involved in the story was the nurse "Marta Carbrera" played by Ana de Armas who played Harlan's nurse.
The story had so many twists and turns it was hard to figure out which is what made it such a great movie. Everyone played their parts well. The one thing missing would be a cat but you can't have everything.

How can science teachers best use the tools of today, without sacrificing lab experiences or inquiry?
If it is really your birthday today, I send you wishes for a great day.
Gee, I guess they let anyone in here. Just like at the place with the tags and gfts.


There are many theories how the human race began. Relatively recently, Science concluded that all of us share a common female ancestor. In recognition of the biblical account they even called her Eve.
The life that Adam and Eve had in the Garden of Eden before they sinned is the ideal state that, collectively, we always have in the back of our minds no matter how bad or good life is.
The power of the individual is incomprehensibly great; one person can change the world.
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before they sinned represent ideal humankind. That's humankind that doesn't know death or sickness; that does not have to work for a living; that has a healthy diet of fruit and vegetables in the Garden of Eden. They are in a spiritual existence even as they exist on the physical plane. They live in the perfect world, Utopia.
Then they're driven out of the Garden of Eden — and driven out with what sounds like a curse: By the sweat of your brow you will be able to bring forth food (Genesis 3:19). They are driven out into a dangerous world, a world of beasts and wild animals; a world of floods, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes; a world with a life and death struggle to survive. They are driven out into the "real" world.
As a result, there is a piece within us, the Sages say, which always remembers the perfect world; that remembers that we were once in the Garden of Eden. It's part of our DNA, our genetic makeup, so to speak.
That's why human beings are restless and constantly looking for new things; that's why we get depressed and dissatisfied. There is a piece within us that says there is something better than this; we had it at one time, lost it, and would like to get back again. That drive fuels everything that human beings do.
It is a very remarkable insight.
Nevertheless, dissatisfaction is part of human nature, because we remember deep down in our souls that we were once in the Garden of Eden, and we would like to get back there.
In the 18th century, the world was infected by the Marxist idea that human beings don't count. There are forces, economic and social, that govern all of history. They are immutable forces that no one can change under any circumstances. The collapse of capitalism and rise of communism are historic forces, and human beings do not play a role.
The corollary is that the individual has no worth. The only thing of worth is the state… the idea… the party. Not surprisingly, then, Chairman Mao killed 80 million Chinese to bring about the great, new utopian China. Stalin killed 50 to 60 million people to achieve his communist utopia — and then the Soviet Union disappeared. Nevertheless, all those people are dead. They died because the individual did not exist in the Marxist ideology.
On the other hand, if you look at the stories in the Bible they are not stories about nations and empires, but about people. The backdrop is the empire, but the story is about the person. The story is about Abraham. The story is about Isaac. The story is about Jacob. The story is about King David, Isaiah and Jeremiah. Where they lived, what went on, etc. are backdrops. In the Bible, people are important.
According to Jewish legend, the world exists in the merit of 36 righteous people. The city of Sodom, which had millions of evil people, was destroyed not because of the millions of evil people, but because it didn't have 10 good people! The few righteous who lived there were not enough to change the society.
Why does God tolerate our world? Every day it's another scandal; another murder; another war. You have to take a shower after reading the newspaper! Why does God tolerate it? Because there are still good people in the world. It's the good people that keep the world going. Our task is to be one of the good people. That's the Torah's viewpoint. A few good people make a difference.
After Adam was thrown out of the Garden of Eden, he was in a difficult situation. Worst of all, he was depressed. There is nothing more depressing than getting kicked out of Paradise. At the root of his depression was the realization of his mortality.
There's a book by the famous psychoanalyst, Ernst Becker, an American soldier in the United States army who helped free the concentration camps. He was also a Jew, and was very heavily influenced by what he saw. (At the end of his life he became a religious person.) He wrote a book called The Denial of Death. The thesis of the book basically is that everything that people accomplish in life is based on the fact that we know that we are mortal. Therefore, in order to succeed, human beings have to deny it. Otherwise, nobody would get out of bed in the morning.
The Denial of Death is a startling book. The fact that we know that we will be around for only 70, 80, 90, maybe 100 years, influences everything that we do. Consequently, life is treasured simply because of our awareness of death. And that is one reason why, the Sages said, that God gave us the Torah: to help us hurdle these obstacles and reconcile our mortality.
Adam wrestled with his mortality after the Garden of Eden. Eventually, he found the wherewithal to go on, which teaches another great lesson. Despite everything, human beings possess a great character trait that can trump everything else: resilience.
The measure of righteousness is resilience, the ability to pick oneself up off the mat.
Jews are the prime example of that. Who else could undergo the First World War, the Communist Revolution, the Holocaust and then rebuild like the Jewish people? Resilience is our name.
In early civilization, men were generally farmers or hunters. While advancing civilization, these two occupations nevertheless lowered the bar of piety. The Sages said that piety doesn't belong to the unlettered or ignorant. By that they meant that it doesn't belong to people who lack the power of abstract thinking, because to deal with God you must have the ability to see things that cannot be seen. This is especially true of monotheism, with its unseen God. The Romans called the Jews atheists, because they couldn't see the God that the Jews were worshipping. They needed a statue, a form or some sort of symbol.
Before the Flood, the majority of people lost their ability to think abstractly. The great Hasidic rabbi, Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, said that a man can be for or against God, but he cannot be without God. Atheism is also a religion. It has its own rhythm and laws; its own books… as well as its own faith. You have to believe that there's nothing to believe in, which is actually the expression of an inner drive within us to believe something, especially in a world that constantly blindsides us, that constantly spins forth tragedy and illness, etc.
That's how paganism began, Maimonides writes. Maimonides doesn't call what they did a "sin," but rather an "error." They made a great error. The error was rooted in their inability to think abstractly.
Einstein thought about things that nobody ever saw. When he was 12 years old, he imagined what it would be like to ride a beam of light. From that childish idea, he eventually came to his theories of relativity.
Maimonides said that anyone capable of abstract thinking is potentially a believer and that paganism entered the world through the loss of abstract thinking. Why did they lose their ability to think abstractly? Because it was so difficult to live, to get food, to hunt, etc. And the world was full of violence. Tribes fought each other; brothers fought each other. In such a climate, it is very difficult to sit back and think what it's like to ride a beam of light.
This helps us better understand the Flood. The Sages saw the Flood not as a punishment, but rather as the means by which God gave humanity a chance to realign its values and goals. It was the salvation because humankind was so overcome with violence and lack of respect for other human beings that if God had not brought the Flood, humanity would have destroyed itself. The Flood actually saved humankind from itself.
We live in a time with a lot of similarities, where the danger of humanity destroying itself is real, God forbid. There are madmen like Kim Jong-il, Ahmadinejad and others with the ability to push a button and set the world on fire. Who will save us from that? Who will save human beings from destroying the world itself?
Maimonides says that when it looks like there is no hope — that's when God intervenes. Back in the early days of civilization, the intervention was through the Flood. Then God promised that there would never again be a Flood, another intervention of such a magnitude. If human beings come to the state that they're going to destroy the world as we know it, God will certainly intervene. How the intervention will come is unknown, though if you read the apocalyptic descriptions in the prophet Zachariah, and in other books of the Bible, the descriptions of how the intervention will take place are fairly graphic.
In any event, everything about the story of early humanity is very relevant today. The main problem in modern life is how to balance the checkbook, who is going to take out the garbage, who has carpool, etc. We have no time to think. That's the same struggle at the dawn of civilization. Our struggle is to somehow rise above that.
The Torah is not primarily history. It's about destiny. It's about revealing a mirror to our past in order to teach us how to thrive in the present and create a corridor of hope for the future.
Paganism, a result of the lack of abstract thought, an interesting theory.
As humans we become more logical thinkers as we mature. However many times I notice that once someone hits a certain age group that logic descends back to the abstract thoughts of a young person.
Wonderful!! Excellent perspective the Dawn of Civilization which was in no way what I had expected at the outset of my read. I am in the research phase of writing a book and came across you website and felt it imperative that i take a gander. Well, this gander has turned out to be well worth my time. I am all the more enriched by your work here. Blessings to you! I look forward to the remainder of your crash course.


New charges have been filed against an indicted member of the Baltimore Police gun task force, alleging that in 2010 he planted drugs after a high-speed chase that ended with a death and told Det. Sean Suiter to search the car.
Two powerful Baltimore city councilmen called on Thursday for the police department to turn over the investigation into the killing of Det. Sean Suiter to federal authorities.
The move came as federal prosecutors filed a new indictment against Sgt. Wayne Jenkins, a former member of Baltimore's corrupt Gun Trace Task Force, alleging that he duped Suiter seven years ago into finding drugs Jenkins had planted in a man's car. Prosecutors disclosed Thursday that because of those allegations, they quietly released the man from prison in August.
Umar Burley had served seven years of a 15-year sentence related to the drugs. Prosecutors now say he was innocent.
The indictment provided clarity to the stunning disclosure last week that Suiter was killed the day before he was scheduled to testify before a grand jury investigating the gun task force. Police Commissioner Kevin Davis has said police have no information to suggest Suiter's death was related to his scheduled testimony.
But questions about the detective's death continue to swirl, as the killing remains unsolved despite a $215,000 reward. In a letter to Davis, City Council President Bernard "Jack" Young and Councilman Brandon Scott called for the police department to turn over the investigation to the FBI.
"An independently conducted investigation would be the quickest way to provide the public and those who loved Det. Suiter with the answers they rightly deserve," Young and Scott wrote.
Davis said he would not comment on the councilmen's letter until Friday.
Mayor Catherine E. Pugh said police and federal authorities were already working closely together, and criticized the councilmen.
For now, it is the only line-of-duty killing in the agency's history that is unsolved.
Suiter, an 18-year veteran, was mortally wounded in a vacant lot in West Baltimore on Nov. 15 while investigating a triple homicide. Police say he was shot in the head with his own gun, which was recovered from the scene, after a brief struggle with an unknown suspect.
Eight days into the investigation, Davis told the public that federal authorities had disclosed to him the night before that Suiter was scheduled to testify before the grand jury investigating the gun task force. In that case, eight Baltimore police officers have been charged with racketeering conspiracy, with allegations that include robbing citizens, falsifying reports, selling seized drugs and guns, participating in home invasions, and earning fraudulent overtime. Four have pleaded guilty. Jenkins and three others are scheduled to face trial.
Davis has said he was told Suiter was not a target of the grand jury, though details about his expected testimony remain unknown. The Baltimore Sun first reported Jenkins' and Suiter's connections to the Burley case last week.
Burley was sitting in a car on April 28, 2010 when police said they saw a man holding cash get into the passenger side. Jenkins wrote in charging documents at the time that police suspected a drug transaction had taken place, and officers moved to box in the car. Jenkins and another detective, Ryan Guinn, pulled in front, while Suiter pulled up from behind in a separate vehicle.
Police said Burley took off at a high speed and eluded the officers, then got into a crash that killed 87-year-old Albert Davis, the father of a police officer. After searching Burley's car, Jenkins wrote, Suiter found heroin.
In a new indictment unsealed Thursday afternoon, prosecutors wrote that Jenkins told Guinn that he was going to send Suiter to search the car because he was "clueless" that Jenkins had planted drugs.
"That's a damn shame," Davis said.
Jenkins later listened in on calls Burley and the other man, Brent Matthews, made while in jail. Jenkins told Guinn that "they were saying that the heroin recovered from the car had been planted on them," federal prosecutors wrote.
"Jenkins told [Guinn] that Jenkins could not testify if the case went to trial because 'something had been put in the car,' or words to that effect, referring to the heroin that had been planted in [Burley's] car," prosecutors said.
Jenkins' attorney, Steve Levin, declined to comment on the new accusations.
Jenkins was the supervisor in charge of the Gun Trace Task Force when federal authorities leveled their wide-ranging indictment in February.
Federal authorities have continued to investigate allegations of misconduct surrounding Jenkins and other members of the task force, bringing additional charges in the case and adding defendants.
Suiter and Guinn are not identified by name in the new documents. "Officer #1" is described as the officer who found the drugs, who is identified in the original charging documents as Suiter. "Officer #2" is described as the detective riding in Jenkins' vehicle, who is identified in the original documents as Guinn.
Guinn has not been charged with a crime. The Sun attempted to contact Guinn about the case this week, and a police spokesman said the agency would not make him available for an interview.
Burley had written to U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Blake shortly after Jenkins was indicted, saying he wanted someone to take a new look at his case.
"Could you imagine how hard it is to be here for a crime I didn't commit and struggling to find clarity and justice on my own," Burley said in a handwritten letter in June that is included in his court file.
Burley and Matthews, who was also arrested in the incident, had initially contested the charges against them.
They eventually pleaded guilty "despite the fact they knew they were innocent" because of the weight the court would give the officers' testimony, federal prosecutors wrote Thursday.
Burley also pleaded guilty in state court to manslaughter in the crash death and was sentenced to 10 years, and in February was transferred to federal custody to finish his drug sentence.
Prosecutors filed motions on Thursday to vacate the convictions of Burley and Matthews, who served about four years in prison for his conviction.

Bells ring out in Toulouse to mark great victory
Connexion journalist
Mon 25 Jun 2018 10h22
Guimsou / CC BY-SA 3.0 A stone that killed Simon de Montfort on June 25, 1218 - effectively ending the siege of Toulouse - was believed to have come from the roof of the Basilica of Saint Sernin
First grand tolling of the bells in Pink City since the end of the Second World War to celebrate 800-year-old event
If you happen to be in Toulouse at lunchtime on Monday, you may be surprised to hear church bells ringing for seven minutes.
It is the first grand tolling of the bells in the Pink City since the end of the Second World War - and similar to that celebration, this year's event also celebrates a great victory.
It marks the lifting of the siege of Toulouse during Albigensian Crusade 800 years ago, shortly after the death of the leader of the surrounding forces, Simon de Montfort.
Simon had captured the city and proclaimed himself Count of Toulouse in 1216 - only to lose control in his absence a year later, when legitimate claimaint Raymond VI retook the city without a fight. On his return in October 1217, Simon surrounded the city. The seige lasted until June 25, 1218, when Simon was killed by a stone that - it is thought - came from the roof of the Basilica of Saint-Sernin, now one of two World Heritage sites in the capital of Occitanie.
Jean-Michel Lattes, deputy mayor of Toulouse in charge of the delegation for Occitan culture said: "This important date in Toulouse's history will be a key moment in the year of celebrations, but we do not want it to remain a one-off event.
"It is for this reason that we are going to decline, with the association Convergéncia Occitana, a series of events. To commemorate the end of the siege of Toulouse is not simply to evoke the outcome of a battle but to bring Occitan values to the forefront."

This is the base or core board to the top of which the wear layer is applied.
Core or base boards vary in thickness depending on the overall size and the thickness of the wear layer. Typically they are between 8mm and 14mm thickness.
Core boards are often made from multi layer ply-woods (generally the greater the number of ply's the better) but can also take the form of a long-grain bottom layer with a short-grain middle. The long-grain wear layer then balances the long-grain bottom layer under the neutral short-grain middle.
In the case of Oak floor boards a hybrid engineered / solid construction is available in the market place where an Oak long-grain top layer sits over an Oak short-grain middle layer on a balancing long-grain Oak backing. This type of Oak floor board could reasonably and quite correctly be described as solid or engineered Oak flooring.

Acetylcholine_receptor
Acetylcholine receptor
An acetylcholine receptor (abbreviated AChR) is an integral membrane protein that responds to the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Daily Sensitivity Test
2 Receptor types
2.1 nAChR
2.2 mAChR
3 Role in health and disease
Like other transmembrane receptors, acetylcholine receptors are classified according to their "pharmacology", or according to their relative affinities and sensitivities to different molecules. Although all acetylcholine receptors, by definition, respond to acetylcholine, they respond to other molecules as well.
nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR, also known as "ionotropic" acetylcholine receptors) are particularly responsive to nicotine
muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR, also known as "metabotropic" acetylcholine receptors) are particularly responsive to muscarine.
Receptor types
Molecular biology has shown that the nicotinic and muscarinic receptors belong to distinct protein superfamilies.
Main article: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
The nAChRs are ligand-gated ion channels, and, like other members of the "cys-loop" ligand-gated ion channel superfamily, are composed of five protein subunits symmetrically arranged like staves around a barrel. The subunit composition is highly variable across different tissues. Each subunit contains four regions named M1, M2, M3, and M4, which span the membrane and consist of approximately 20 amino acids. The M2 region, which sits closest to the pore lumen, forms the pore lining.
Binding of acetylcholine to the N termini of each of the two alpha subunits results in the 15° rotation of all M2 helices.[1] The cytoplasm side of the nAChR receptor has rings of high negative charge that determine the specific cation specificity of the receptor and remove the hydration shell often formed by ions in aqueous solution. In the intermediate region of the receptor, within the pore lumen, valine and leucine residues (Val 255 and Leu 251) define a hydrophobic region which the dehydrated ion must pass through.[2]
nAChR is found at the edges of junctional folds at the neuromuscular junction on the postsynaptic side, and is activated by acetylcholine release across the synapse. The diffusion of Na+ and K+ across the receptor causes depolarization, the end-plate potential, that opens voltage-gated sodium channels, which allows for firing of the action potential and potentially muscular contraction.
Main article: Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors
In contrast, the mAChRs are not ion channels, but belong instead to the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors that activate other ionic channels via a second messenger cascade.
Role in health and disease
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors can be blocked by curare and toxins present in the venoms of snakes and shellfishes, like α-bungarotoxin. Drugs such as the neuromuscular blocking agents bind reversibly to the nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular junction and are used routinely in anaesthesia.
Nicotinic receptors are the primary mediator of the effects of nicotine. In myasthenia gravis, the receptor is targeted by antibodies, leading to muscle weakness. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors can be blocked by the drugs atropine and scopolamine.
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M5
The muscarine cholinergic receptor activates a G protein when bound to ex.c. ach. The alpha subunit of the Gprotein deactivates adenylate cyclase while the betagamma subunit activates the Kchannels and therefore hyperpolarise the cell. This causes a decrease in cardiac activity.
