Tanning Beds – more dangerous then previously though (CAUSES CANCER)
May 7, 2013 Daniel Buttafuoco
Washington, May 6 (Reuters – By Toni Clarke) – Tanning beds and sunlamps will be required to carry stronger warning labels under new regulations proposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is also recommending the machines not be used by people under the age of 18.
The FDA said on Monday that it plans to reclassify sunbeds from low-risk to moderate-risk products, meaning they will need to be cleared by the agency before being allowed onto the market.
Faulty equipment has led to patients being burned or exposed to too much radiation, Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA's center for devices and radiological health, said in an interview.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Basal cell and squamous cell cancer, the two most common forms, are generally curable; but melanoma, the third most common type, is deadly.
In 2009, the most recent year numbers are available, 61,646 people in the United States were diagnosed with melanoma and 9,199 people died, according to the CDC.
The FDA's proposed regulations stop short of recommendations made by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, which in 2009 concluded that commercial tanning devices were more dangerous that previously thought and recommended people under 18 be banned from using them.
The FDA's regulations also stop short of new rules being developed by some U.S. states.
More than 30 states regulate the use of tanning facilities to differing degrees. Delaware, New Hampshire and North Dakota, for example, ban the use of indoor tanning by anyone under age 14 unless medically necessary and they require parental consent for those between the ages of 14 and 18.
Some states, including Georgia, Illinois and Maine, ban tanning beds for children under the age of 14, and eighteen states require tanning bed operators to limit exposure time to a manufacturers' recommendations and provide eye protection.
In January 2012, California became the first state to ban tanning beds for all people under 18.
The Indoor Tanning Association argues vigorously that the decision on whether a teen is allowed to suntan is one for parents, not government, and it supports parental consent. But it is fighting the growing number of states issuing bans.
"Is the next step to ban teens from sun bathing at public beaches and pools?" the association asked in a statement last year in opposition to New Jersey's proposal to ban tanning bed use for those under 17.
"You also have to consider the health risks associated with banning teenagers from using tanning salons," it said. "They will just go outside with no adult supervision and no trained staff where they are much more likely to get sunburned."
The FDA's actions follow a 2010 meeting of a federal advisory panel which unanimously recommended that the agency reclassify tanning devices. Panelists had mixed views on whether to implement a ban on minors.
An estimated 5.6 percent of U.S. adults reported indoor tanning at least once in 2010, with the highest rates among white, female 18 to 25-year-olds, according to the CDC, which notes that frequent exposure to UV rays for people under the age of 35 increases the risk of developing melanoma by 75 percent.
"For right now our proposal tries to focus on providing better information for consumers," Shuren said, "including a warning on the tanning beds themselves that they shouldn't be used in people under 18," he said.
Depending on the feedback the agency receives to its proposal, it may make changes to the final order, he said.

CELTIC have been told to up their bid for Hibs ace John McGinn to £3million.
The Hoops had an initial bid of £1.5m for the midfielder rejected last week.
And Hibs have told their counterparts they'll keep hold of the midfielder unless they double their initial offer, according to the Sunday Mail.
The Parkhead side pocketed a cool £7m after Stuart Armstrong sealed a move to Premier League side Southampton last month.
And boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to snap up Scotland international McGinn, who has just 12 months left on his Easter Road deal, to replace him.
Speaking ahead of Celtic's 7-0 friendly win over Shamrock Rovers, Rodgers admitted he was still hopeful on sealing a deal for the 23-year-old.
He said: "I just wait to see what happens between the clubs. I've nothing more to say on that. Is it still a live matter? Yeah, I think it's what happens in negotiations.
"That will be organised, hopefully, between the two clubs and hopefully we have another player.
Meanwhile, Everton have pulled out of the race to sign Hoops star Kieran Tierney.
The Toffees had been linked with a multi-million pound move for the 21-year-old.
However, they have been put off by the price tag with Celtic valuing their asset at £25m.

Jaguar car news
All-electric Jaguar E-Type Zero now available to us mere mortals
Rik Henderson, Senior news editor · 24 August 2018 ·
- Convert your existing Jaguar E-Type too
- Shipping in 2020
(Pocket-lint) - Jaguar first unveiled its all-electric E-Type last year as a concept design, with only Prince Harry and his new bride, Meghan Markle, seen publicly driving one after the Royal Wedding.
But now the Jaguar E-Type Zero is going into full production and you'll soon be able to buy one yourself. It'll likely still cost a fair penny, but you can register your interest to find out how much on a dedicated Jaguar Classic webpage.
The best electric cars: Top battery-powered vehicles available on UK roads
In addition, you can even have your existing petrol Jaguar E-Type converted to an all-electric vehicle. Jaguar Classic Works will swap out the powertrain for its latest all-electric version based on the same system in the I-Pace. This will be done in the UK for vehicles in Britain and you can also find out the details on the website above.
There is now also a Classic Works available in the US.
The Jaguar E-Type Zero (formerly called E-Type Concept Zero) looks identical to the regular E-Type on the outside - itself still based on the classic design of the 60s model.
However, you can also add an optional touchscreen infotainment system to the 60s-styled interior, given it a modern refresh. There are also LED headlights, which weren't on the original, of course.
It can go from 0-62mph in less than seven seconds and the new electric powertrain has been designed to retain the car's balance, handling and performance.

Del Howison, the "ringmaster" of Dark Delicacies; Credit: Photo by Danny Liao
Dark Delicacies, America's Only Horror Bookstore
James Bartlett March 13, 2014
Del and Sue Howison made the decision 20 years ago this December: They were going into business together.
They'd met at the Burbank bar that Del always visited while his clothes were spinning. "It was one beer for the wash, two for the dry," he recalls, "and then one day I saw Sue sipping soda."
New to the area after working at Port Hueneme naval base in Ventura County, Sue found Del hard to miss, what with his shock of long, white hair. He'd started turning white at age 14, which his father, a Detroit cop, attributed to the 1967 riots.
"He was the sergeant in command of the raids that started the riots, so our family got threats," Del explains. "What I remember the most is seeing my dad in full riot gear, and he's got my 4-year-old sister in one arm and a teddy bear in the other."Del asked Sue if she wanted to go to another bar, and as they walked up the street she asked him, "You're not a mass murderer or anything, are you?" Straight-faced, Del replied: "No, I kill them one at a time."
"I basically married my designated driver," Del laughs, as his wife bustles around their store and chats with customers. The only specialist horror book and gift store in the country, stocking topics from UFOs to the occult, witchcraft to cryptozoology, Dark Delicacies was born out of their shared love of the genre – and their inability to find sufficiently macabre decorations after they moved in together.
"We pooled our horror book collection, but all we could find were those birdbath outdoor gargoyles, nothing close to where our heads were at," says Del, who will give his age only as "the new 40." "We thought there must be other people like us, so let's put all the tchotchkes in one place."
They'd made some money selling horror-related goods and books at a couple of local conventions, when Del saw a storefront in Burbank. "We both had full-time jobs – me in the Garment District and Sue at Nestlé in Glendale – but I thought it was time to move on from chocolate and clothes. It was a crazy economic decision." After all, they had just $5,000 in the bank.
So they padded the shelves with their personal book collection. And since, at the time, new horror books came out only about once a month, they hunted for tchotchkes and used books at estate sales and antique stores to keep up their inventory.
Books initially made up 70 percent of their sales. Not anymore. While there are still nearly 7,000 books on the shelves, over time the couple moved them to the back. The jewelry, action figures, scents and posters are in the front. (They stock as many handmade and local products as they can.)
After moving twice, they're now at home on West Magnolia Boulevard, amongst the comic, Halloween and oddity shops.
They initially thought they'd be selling to "Goth edge and single males," Del says. "But in the first year my customers were 52 percent female."
Today, local moms have made best-sellers of purses and clothes with bats or skull motifs. There's even a "kids" room of spooky fluffy toys and clothes.
A lot of business comes from the nearby studios, too, which are always coming in for set decorations, props and jewelry. "We couldn't do this in Des Moines," Del says.
Signing events – the store's weekly bread-and-butter – began with one featuring Sara Karloff, daughter of legendary actor Boris. It was a wild success, and now Dark Delicacies hosts actors, composers, writers and directors, often in what Del calls a "group grope." [Editor's note: This paragraph was corrected after publication. See note at story's end.]
A January event, "Day of the Scream Queens," honored two dozen actresses who'd appeared in horror films including Jaws 2 and Return of the Living Dead. Del says, "Getting them to all sit down was like herding cats."
Originally, Del moved to L.A. to be an actor. He's landed parts in more than 20 of "what we call C-movies now," he says, and has played various permutations of Renfield, from Bram Stoker's Dracula, in no fewer than four productions.
A year after their store opened, Del and Sue made another big decision: to get married. They chose Halloween, of course, and had a coffin-shaped chocolate cake with red cherry filling, which "bled" when it was cut.
When you visit the store, you can tell who's on duty by the background music. Sue's a huge fan of movie soundtracks, and she supplements that with classical music. If you hear blues or classic vinyl, Del's at his post.
They open and close up together, but Sue takes the morning while Del does the banking, mail runs and errands; they switch at lunch. Del's also very much the face of the store – "the ringmaster," as Sue describes it.
She hates interviews, calling public relations a "necessary evil," yet she's everywhere at signing events, chooses the majority of the products, spends hours online looking for new authors, and is really the engine that keeps everything running.
Monday, the only day the store is closed, has become a date night of sorts: They watch a movie, order in, drink beer. They share their home with a white cocker spaniel, a rescue named Bebe, and are enamored with their 5-year-old "surrogate" granddaughter, whose Goth parents were surprised when "one day she woke up a fairy princess who loves purple and pink."
Del also gets up at 2 a.m. daily to write for an hour (after which, oddly, he goes right back to sleep). He'd love more time to write and Sue would like to spend more time working with animal rescue, but what they really miss are those early trips hunting for inventory. "Yes, the days of, 'Wow, look! I found a raven on a skull sculpture!'?" Del says.
"But I can't complain," he adds. "A bad day here is better than a good day at any of my other jobs, and though there have been months when we thought we wouldn't hit the rent, and events where no one came, we both love what we do. And friends took bets on how long our marriage would last!"
With that he's off to Staples, and Sue chats for a moment as she opens a big box of new books, lamenting that only movie-related, young-adult books still sell. Then she's off to the back office. Even as she keeps an eye on the store through a two-way mirror, the sound of clacking computer keys mixes with classical music.
Editor's note: This story originally gave the wrong first name for Boris Karloff's daughter Sara. We regret the error.

The U.S. Department of Human Services (HHS) last week spotlighted Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey (Horizon BCBSNJ) as one of the nation's Affordable Care Act (ACA) success stories, inviting the company to a Washington D.C. forum to present the practices and strategies that boosted its membership to record levels, particularly among previously uninsured consumers. The forum on Thursday, as well as an HHS Blog, spotlighted Horizon BCBSNJ success in the context of the Federal Marketplace being "a laboratory for innovations and strategies that are helping us build a better health care system." "Horizon knew that the ACA would usher in a brand new era of consumerism in the health insurance industry, so we dedicated our efforts to fully researching and understanding our customers and their needs in health insurance products," said Christopher M. Lepre, Senior Vice President of Market Business Units for Horizon BCBSNJ, noting a growth from 120,000 members in 2013 to over 220,000 consumers today."We owe our success to a multi-pronged approach of engaging consumers in the communities where they live and work, helping them to become more informed about their health insurance choices and offering low-cost, high quality products like OMNIA as a response to what they told us they wanted from the market. Horizon is committed to growing our exchange membership by continuing our efforts to engage the uninsured and respond to all our customers in every corner of New Jersey," he said.Through focused campaigns to enhance consumers' understanding of the ACA and health insurance in general, Horizon BCBSNJ opened New Jersey's first health insurance retail center (Horizon Connect), located in Moorestown, where customers can meet one on one for personalized assistance from Horizon BCBSNJ agents. During open enrollment, Horizon BCBSNJ expanded its retail outreach by opening kiosks at multiple New Jersey malls, and staffing them with bi-lingual agents. The company also mobilized a "Blue to You Van," where agents transported education and sales capabilities into all 21 of New Jersey's counties. Lepre also noted Horizon BCBSNJ assembled a far-reaching digital, grass roots, marketing and education effort over the last two years to engage Hispanic consumers, resulting in nearly a 400 percent increase among Hispanic membership.In fact, Hispanic consumers represented 15 percent of the 41,000 previously uninsured residents who purchased an OMNIA Health Plan for 2016.Among the keys of success highlighted by the Horizon representatives at the HHS-sponsored forum this week were:About Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New JerseyHorizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, the state's oldest and largest health insurer is a tax-paying, not-for-profit health service corporation, providing a wide array of medical, dental, and prescription insurance products and services.

Q: Can the bitwise AND of some positive integers be negative? Can the bitwise AND of some positive integers be negative?
Let's say I have some numbers 1,2,3..N. For example, take N=7 and I want to find a subarray which results me in a negative result after  bitwise AND operation.
Taking 4,5,6,7 gives me 4(100) but what subarray(for any N) could give me negative result?

A:
Can the bitwise AND of some positive integers be negative?

No, it can't.
A negative number has the top bit set. All positive numbers have the top bit unset. A zero bit AND a zero bit results in a zero bit.  This applies to any number of bitwise AND operations performed on any number of positive integers.
And it also applies if you include zero.
In fact, if you perform an bitwise AND on a collection of integers, the result will only be negative if all of the integers are less than zero.

Note that above is for twos' complement binary representations.  All modern mainstream computer instruction sets use twos' complement to represent integers.
With ones' complement you actually have two zeros +0 and -0.  But if you treat -0 as negative then the same logic applies.
Bitwise AND'ing of floating point number representations ... and treating the results as numbers ... doesn't make a lot of sense.  So I haven't considered that.

A: (In most/commonly used encodings) sign is stored in first bit.
For first bit to be 1 (meaning negative number) after AND, both bits need to be 1 before that. So it means only 2 negative numbers can make a negative number with AND.
This is true both for integers and floats (IEEE754) (the most common int and float implementations) but basically anything that can store negative numbers has to store the sign somewhere... and as positive numbers are the "default", it's minus that gets marked as 1.

Home » Terroristic Threats
Terroristic Threat Defense Attorneys in NJ
Wall New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorneys serving Monmouth County, Ocean County, Middlesex County and all surrounding NJ areas.
Terroristic threat charges are very common. Though the phrase sounds like something that applies to threats against public safety, in fact the vast majority of people who face these charges got into trouble in a domestic situation with a friend, family member or acquaintance.
In the vast majority of these kinds of cases, the experienced attorneys at Clark, Clark & Noonan, LLC have obtained outright dismissals for these charges. For a free consultation, please call us at 732-303-7857.
What Is a Terroristic Threat?
In the heat of the moment, something as simple as saying "I'm going to kill you" could result in you being charged with a terroristic threat. Our attorneys do not believe you should have to suffer harsh penalties because of one moment of a heated exchange. Bomb threats and other threats intended to evacuate buildings may also result in these types of criminal charges. In a terroristic threats scenario, there are a number of defenses that can be utilized to resolve the case.
In order for terroristic threats charges to stand, all three elements of the alleged crime must be proven:
You made a threat
You threatened an act of violence
The threat was made with the intent to scare, intimidate or otherwise terrorize the other party
But to be charged with the crime, you only need have threatened the person physically, threatened their property, or threatened harm to someone who is important to them, such as a spouse or child. There must be reasonable fear of the threat, and generally charges won't stick if something was said without any real threat from the perspective of a reasonable person.
Aggressive, Adept Defense in Your Terroristic Threat Case
We are all susceptible to moments of rage, anger and other volatile emotions. Whether you knew the person or got upset with a stranger in traffic or at a party, you are not a bad person or a "criminal" just because you made a mistake.
Terroristic threat charges are essentially criminal charges against speech and intent. These types of cases often amount to a "he said – she said" situation, in which the only person with knowledge of the alleged threat is the supposed victim. Without a corroborating witness or a written threat, it can be difficult to prove that you ever made a threat or that you had an intent to harm the other person. Even with witnesses and/or a threat made in writing, our experienced lawyers will work proactively to defend you. If just one of the three elements listed above is not present in your case, then we may be able to obtain dismissal of charges on your behalf.
If you are facing criminal charges for terroristic threats in New Jersey, please call our experienced Jersey City attorneys at Clark, Clark & Noonan, LLC at 732-303-7857. Your no-obligation consultation is complimentary.

Middlesex County Client Charged With Forgery
I was charged with forging a court document during a divorce proceeding. All I kept thinking was that I was going to have a felony on my record and that I might go to jail. When I spoke to Ryan after finding Clark, Clark & Noonan, LLC. on the internet, my whole perception about the case and the likely outcome changed. He explained how it is the prosecutor's burden to prove a case and how the case against me had real problems from the prosecutor's standpoint.
Ryan also explained how sometimes the best defense is a good offense. To make a long story short, under Ryan's guidance, we were able to obtain evidence that completely exonerated me. He then used that evidence to get the prosecutor to completely dismiss the charges. I had never been so relived in my life. Ryan truly gave me my life back. I really felt like I go the benefit of his knowledge of the system and how to deal with changing the prosecutor's initial ideas about me and the case. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney who really knows how to fight for his clients.

Apache Hadoop is a key technology for gaining business insights from your Big Data, but the penetration into enterprises is shockingly low. In fact, Apache Hadoop and Big Data proponents recognize that this technology has not yet achieved its game-changing business potential.
In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, John Mertic, director of program management for ODPi at The Linux Foundation, will explain why this is, how we can work together as an open data community to increase adoption, and the importance of open source-based Big Data standardization to help unlock more business value for Apache Hadoop initiatives.
John Mertic is Director of Program Management for ODPi and Open Mainframe Project at The Linux Foundation. Previously, he was director of business development software alliances at Bitnami. He comes from a PHP and Open Source background, being a developer, evangelist, and partnership leader at SugarCRM, board member at OW2, president of OpenSocial, and frequent conference speaker around the world.
As an avid writer, Mertic has published articles on IBM Developerworks, Apple Developer Connection, and PHP Architect, and authored the book The Definitive Guide to SugarCRM: Better Business Applications and the book Building on SugarCRM.


You are here: Home / Business / When Do You Need a Contract Dispute Lawyer?
When Do You Need a Contract Dispute Lawyer?
Contract disputes are sometimes an inevitable part of doing business, and a dispute can arise in several different circumstances. For instance, disputes occur when all parties don't agree with a version of a contract, when contractors don't agree with their contract terms, when there are mistakes with the contract, or coercion or fraud. When you get into any type of business dispute involving a contract, you will need to hire a Fort Lauderdale contract dispute lawyer to represent you in many cases. Having a lawyer to help you through your dispute is beneficial because contracts can be complex and disputes can be time consuming to resolve alone.
There are several different remedies that are available to one or both parties when a contract dispute arises, and your lawyer can inform you of the specific remedies available to you based on your situation. Legal remedies can include monetary damages for any losses or breached contracts. Both parties may also agree to take action to fix errors with the contract or rewrite the contract. The breaching party may also choose to comply with the terms of the contract after negotiation. An experienced lawyer will be able to analyze the situation and determine which remedies are the best for you.
One good reason that you may need a Fort Lauderdale contract dispute attorney is the fact that contract terminology can be complicated. The legal terms and laws that govern many types of contracts are difficult for many business owners to understand. A knowledgeable attorney will have the experience to handle your dispute no matter how complex your contract is. Your lawyer can also explain what the terms of your contracts mean, the legal rights that you have available to you, and whether or not your current contracts need to be restructured to protect your interests.
It is a mistake to try to handle something as important as a contract dispute on your own. You may not get a fair remedy, and you may be putting you or your business in unnecessary legal risk by doing so. There may be remedies available to you that you are not aware of, and it always helps to have a legal expert by your side throughout the dispute who can help you through it and answer your questions. If you have a contract dispute of any type in your business, contact Mark Schecter at Schecter Law today for assistance.


Would like to give some introduction! Homegroup is new feature in Windows 7 to make file, printer, picture, music, video or other documents sharing easier and faster, however only the computers running Windows 7 can join this homegroup.
Furthermore, in Windows 7 Starter and Windows 7 Home Basic, you can join a homegroup, but you can't create one, too bad. Of course you can create new homegroup if you use Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise editions.
In Windows 7, all the files, printers and media files are gathered to become libraries and to be shared via homegroup feature with password protection. In term of access control, other people cannot join homegroup and access to the shared files unless the password and permission is given.
If your computer belongs to a domain, you can join a homegroup but you can't create one. You can access files and resources on other homegroup computers, but you can't share your own files and resources with the homegroup.
How about accessing shared files from other version of Windows, such as Windows Vista or XP? Can it be done? Yes, the shared resources on Windows 7 can still be accessed from other versions of Windows with visibility to the shared folder/files directly, but cannot view libraries or homegroup.
Please note Windows 7 lets you establish three types of networks, which are Home, Work, and Public, and a homegroup can exist only if the networks on all your computers are set to Home. Once the homegroup is created, you can manipulate the file to be shared, who can access the file, can the file to be changed, set read only access on certain files, etc.
If you are interested, let's check out here to create homegroup in Windows 7.

Now that my house is finally filled with the suitable amount of Christmas whimsy and I have successfully purchased approximately nine thousand Christmas gifts AND I have shipped said gifts to approximately eighty-six different destinations - - - I'M BACK!
Oh, I forgot to mention that I have also baked roughly 9 million holiday cookies. If anyone out there has a craving for a sugar cookie shaped like a gingerbread lady who's had an emergency frontal lobotomy, please contact me via the comments section immediately.
Now that the Christmas insanity is beginning to wind down, I've finally found the time to sit down in front of my laptop and tell you all a little tale I like to call: "What I Did on My Thanksgiving Vacation".
What I did on my Thanksgiving vacation was --- I contracted the plague.
I realize that I have previously claimed in these pages to have contracted the plague, but to use one of my husband's favorite expressions....I WAS WRONG! That was not the plague. That was a mildly terrible head cold.
What happened to us the week of Thanksgiving....THAT was the plague.
It all started on a Friday, the morning before we were due to fly to Texas for the holiday. David got up to collect the Snood from his crib and the next thing I heard was the always terrifying exclamation, "Uh-oh." I sprang from bed and headed for Snood's room, secure in my knowledge that nothing good could be afoot. I arrived just in time to see David extracting el Snoodo from his barf-covered crib, which he had thrown up all over some time in the night.
BUT! As soon as we'd de-pukified Snoodie in the bathtub, I have to say, he seemed no worse for the wear. He ate a huge breakfast and didn't have any fever, so David left for work and I got busy packing for our trip.
...only to be awakened at 10:30pm by a sudden and overwhelming need to projectile vomit out any and all food I'd ingested since 1983.
He took one look at me and uttered a horrified, "Oh...no" before retreating to the relative safety of the couch.
By 6:30a.m. I'd given up on any hope that the sweet relief of death might take me away and I peeled myself up from the bathroom floor. I told David that we could still make our flight, if he would take full charge of the Snood. In response, he began vomiting in my general direction.
Realizing we could neither travel nor remain upright for long enough to care for our own offspring, we begged Snoodie's babysitter to take him for a few hours. She agreed, simultaneously proving the existence of a loving God and allowing us to head back to bed for the remainder of the morning.
I now interrupt this blog entry with a little segment I'll call HELPFUL HINT TO THE AIRLINES: If you make it your policy that people must fly the same day that their ticket is issued OR face a quadrupling of the price of their ticket, you practically force families with sky-high viral loads to board your planes. And that's annoying. Thank you.
Nine hours after I first woke David up, we limped like so many deranged zombies onto our flight.
Luckily, the flight was uneventful and three hours later we poured ourselves out of our seats and into the loving arms of my husband's family.
And the horror came to an end.
Have you ever read the above book about 10 people who arrive at a mysterious island, only to be picked off one-by-one by an unseen killer? Our Thanksgiving was kind of like that.
After some debate about whether or not we should cancel our trip altogether, David and I put our collective imaginary medical degrees together and surmised that since Snoodie was already showing symptoms that probably meant he was no longer contagious. Yeah, that was not so much accurate.
One by one the members of my husband's family fell. My mother-in-law was the first to go, throwing up the whole way home from a visit to Dallas. David's dad succumbed next, spending all of Thanksgiving day curled up in bed, his occasional moans our only assurance that he was still alive as the rest of us feasted. My brother-in-law then spent that night with his own gastro-pyrotechnics. My sister-in-law came home the next night, excited to announce her engagement. She barely had time to flash the ring to the assembled family before heading off at a full sprint for the nearest toilet.
"You know, just after we came over to see you guys poor Melissa got terribly ill....."
"Uncle Bob was barfing for two days after you stopped by with the baby....."

The Couple Behind L.A.'s n/naka on Being Partners Both In and Out of the Kitchen
by Megan Beauchamp
Megan Beauchamp is a Los Angeles-based writer and editor with over seven years of experience in digital publishing in the home interior and lifestyle space.
Some dining experiences are so special that recounting them conjures up adjectives usually reserved for describing works of art. Think moving, evocative, and avant-garde. Chef Niki Nakayama's Los Angeles–based restaurant offers such an experience. Located inside a concrete building on a nondescript corner in Palms, n/naka, one of the most preeminent kaiseki establishments in America, is so innocuous that you might just drive past it if you're not paying attention.
Behind the unassuming facade, chef Niki Nakayama and her partner and sous chef Carole Iida-Nakayama work in tandem to tantalize diners' taste buds with a 13-course Japenese-inspired meal using local California ingredients that's a veritable feast for the senses. Although n/naka opened its doors seven years ago, the fine dining establishment's coveted tables are just as sought after as ever with reservations booked solid three months in advance, a testament to the artful fine dining experience the duo curates each night.
As you might have already guessed, part of what makes n/naka so undeniably special is that modern kaiseki cooking anchors both a menu and a marriage. Ahead, we talk to the couple behind L.A.'s hottest restaurant (with the hardest-to-procure dinner reservation) on being partners both in and out of the kitchen.
Speaking with Nakayama and Iida-Nakayama, it's clear that serendipity is what brought the two together in the kitchen. One day, out of nowhere, Nakayama's sous chef didn't show up at n/naka. The restaurant had only been open a year, and Nakayama was struggling to make it work with the limited staff she had.
"We'd only been dating for a couple months, and Niki texted me, 'Oh my god, my sous chef didn't show up today. I don't know what I'm going to do,'" explained Iida-Nakayama. "Luckily, my restaurant was staffed at night, so I was free and I just offered, thinking I could probably help with little tasks at least," recalls Iida-Nakayama. "I'd never done fine dining, but I thought maybe I could make the dashi and do all those kinds of basic things for her. So, I showed up, and I just never left," she laughs.
Equally as serendipitous is how the pair ended up together romantically. "My family has been visiting her family's sushi restaurant for decades. I mean years and years," explains Nakayama. When the pair eventually met online Nakayama laughed at the fact that she knew Iida-Nakayama's mother before she knew Iida-Nakayama herself.
After meeting, the pair also discovered that they only lived about five minutes apart—and both had dogs named Sammy. "We were kind of shocked at how many things we had in common, but we had just never met prior to that," says Nakayama. "I think it always comes down to how things in life are sort of made better by the right time."
Although maintaining both a working and romantic relationship comes with its own set of unique challenges, for Nakayama and Iida-Nakayama, it's surprisingly effortless. "We're really good at being mindful and respectful of one other," explains Nakayama. "So that my crazy, mad chef side doesn't lash out at her, I just unleash it on other the people," she jokes.
Likewise, Iida-Nakayama doesn't have the magic answer for why the arrangement works so well for the pair. "I think we're both at that point in our lives where we've learned enough about ourselves individually to know how to manage our own stress and how to deal with each other's stress," she adds. "It's not a conscious thing we have to work at it. It just works."
Iida-Nakayama attributes the ease of the couple's working relationship to the fact that they possess distinct culinary talents. "I don't consider myself the creative culinary talent that Niki is," she explains. "My skills lend themselves to the organization of the kitchen, the staff, and other operations-related issues," she elaborates. "It's a good balance. We're together on a personal level, but there's the distinction between our roles in the kitchen," adds Iida-Nakayama.
Since n/naka's opening in 2011, the restaurant has become much more personal, according to Nakayama. "It's a lot more representative who I am and who Carole is," she reveals. "We always say that it doesn't really make sense to be traditionalists because we weren't born and raised in Japan, nor did we have that kind of [culinary] training."
In fact, n/naka's signature dish is emblematic of this break with tradition. The dish, called shiizakana, which essentially translates to "not bound by tradition, chef's choice," is an abalone pasta that wouldn't be served as a course in a traditional kaiseki meal in Japan, confesses Nakayama. In kaiseki, "There is a little bit of a leeway in that a chef can choose a dish that is very personal to them," Nakayama explains.
In our menu, "We want to incorporate what it is that is true to us, which is our upbringing here in California, into the food," explains Nakayama. "So it's a natural evolution to add little elements into the cuisine that aren't traditionally Japanese," she adds.
Now, we don't know about you, but we're hoping that a last-minute cancelation allows us to snag a reservation to bear witness to this evolution very soon.

International Horseball and University Sports Federations sign MOUs with FEI
25/11/2015 25/11/2015 News Team
The International Horseball Federation (FIHB) and the International University Sports Federation (FISU) have signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with the FEI.
The MOUs are based on a mutual commitment to equestrian sport and fostering its growth, and the FEI will increase collaboration with the International Horseball Federation (FIHB) and the FISU as part of these new agreements. The two organisations will work in close cooperation with the FEI, continuing to enhance best practice and the development of equestrian sport.
Founded in 1999, the FIHB was created to govern the sport of horseball worldwide, and maintain contact with the FEI. Horseball, a mix of "basketball and rugby on horseback", is now played on five continents.
"As the sport of horseball becomes more widely known, the FIHB are delighted to be officially associated with the FEI, which raises our profile worldwide", FIHB President Frederico Cannas said. "We believe our partnership with the FEI, together with their back-up and support, is key to bringing our sport to a higher level."
The International University Sports Federation, FISU, was founded in 1949 and, developed within university institutions to effectively communicate sports values and uphold best sports practice through the university spirit. The FISU's main responsibility is the supervision of both the Summer and Winter Universiades, as well as the World University Championships.
"Recognising our formal agreement with the FEI, and working in close association with them, will ensure our sport has a stronger future on a global scale", FISU President, Claude-Louis Gallien said. "As an international organisation, we uphold the same principles and interests, enabling the development and excellence of university sport worldwide."
"We are looking forward to strengthening our collaboration with both the FIHB and FISU, and to broaden the appeal of equestrian sport by working alongside like-minded organisations which share our core values", FEI President Ingmar De Vos said.

Drew Struzan artwork on this poster for the 1984 sci-fi thriller Dreamscape, starring a young and fresh-faced Dennis Quaid, alongside the lovely Kate Capshaw. It also features veteran actors Christopher Plummer and Max von Sydow who were, coincidentally, up against each other for the 'Best Supporting Actor' prize at the 2012 Academy Awards. Plummer went on to win for the first time in his long career.
Quaid plays psychic Alex Gardner who has been using his skills for personal gain after disappearing from a research project run by Dr. Paul Novotny (Von Sydow). Novotny tracks down Alex and coaxes him into joining his new experiment, which sees psychics' abilities being used to infiltrate the dreams and nightmares of others. Whilst inside the dreams the psychics are able to influence events with the intention of ridding them of any sleep disorders they're suffering. Although intended for benevolent purposes, a shadowy government agent (Plummer) clearly has other plans and an ally in the form of deranged psychic (David Patrick Kelly). It's not long before the life of the President of the USA is in danger and only Alex can save him.
If the idea of infiltrating dreams sounds familiar it's probably because Christopher Nolan's 2010 sci-fi masterpiece, Inception, uses a similar conceipt of dream infiltration, although for different purposes and without the use of psychic powers. Despite some notably dodgy effects, Dreamscape is a fun watch and is definitely one of Quaid's better lead roles. David Patrick Kelly plays a typically excellent bad guy and this was one of several memorable roles for him during the 1980s.
Some of the dreams situations are pretty creepy and well executed, particularly those involving the apocalyptic visions of the President.
Struzan's artwork features several images taken from dream sequences as well as a couple of the 'real world' action scenes in the film. My only criticism of it is that it does make the film look like something of an action-adventure, which is definitely not the case, and the kid depicted as one of the main characters only features for a few brief minutes.

Imagine your worst fear a reality.
One of two werewolf themed horrors to be released in 1981, Joe Dante's The Howling beat John Landis' An American Werewolf in London to cinemas by a few months, but both would go on to be cult classics of the genre, even if the latter film won more critical plaudits at the time of its release. Despite hugely different storylines each film features a memorable werewolf transformation scene and The Howling's one was created by noted practical effects specialist Rob Bottin (The Thing, Robocop), which was his first solo effort away from his mentor Rick Baker. Although he had initially started work on The Howling, Baker had decided to leave the production to work on Landis' film and handed the reigns over to Bottin. The results are definitely impressive and were certainly groundbreaking for the time, however Baker's handiwork on AWIL is unforgettable and impressed the judges of the Academy Awards so much that he won the Outstanding Achievement in Makeup in its inaugural year.
Very loosely based on the novel of the same name by Gary Brandner, The Howling's script was worked on by two screenwriters before Dante brought in John Sayles, with whom he collaborated on 1978's Piranha to write a third draft. The film begins as the investigative TV report Karen White (Dee Wallace) is on her way to meet the serial murderer Eddie Quist (Robert Picardo) at a sleazy LA porn store as part of a police sting operation. After entering a booth, Karen is surprised by Eddie who is standing behind her and forces her to watch a porno of a young woman being attacked. Karen turns to look at Eddie and her screams attract nearby police officers who shoot and apparently kill him. Severely traumatised by the event and suffering from hallucinatory flashbacks, Karen's therapist Dr Waggner (Patrick Macnee) refers her to a secluded retreat on the Californian coast called The Colony.
Karen travels there with her boyfriend Bill played by the late Christopher Stone, who was Dee Wallace's boyfriend at the time and later married her (Stone sadly passed away from a heart attack in 1995), and the pair are welcomed by the residents of the camp, which is made up of several log cabins in a forest near the coast. One night Bill is out for a walk and is attacked and bitten by a werewolf, which is actually Marsha Quist (Elisabeth Brooks) a sultry nymphomaniac who has been at the Colony for months. Later she accosts Bill and the pair make love in the forest as they transform into werewolves together. Karen suspects all is not right and invites her friend Teri (Belinda Balaski), another reporter who is looking into Eddie Quist and has discovered that his body is missing from the morgue, out to visit her. Soon after arriving Teri is attacked and killed by Eddie whom she watches transform into a wolf (with Rob Bottin's help) and before long Karen discovers the true secret of the Colony. Teri's partner Chris (Dennis Dugan) comes to Karen's rescue clutching a rifle loaded with silver bullets.
The film was made on a low budget (circa $1m) and was a commercial success around the globe, making tens of millions of dollars. It inevitably spawned a number of significantly less interesting sequels, starting with 1985's 'Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf'. Joe Dante believes that Steven Spielberg saw the film at the cinema and subsequently offered him the directorial job on the cult classic Gremlins (1984).
Despite The Howling's relatively high profile I've been unable to identify the artist responsible for the artwork on this US one sheet, which was also used as the marketing art in several other countries. If anyone has any ideas please get in touch. Note that this particular poster is discoloured somewhat as it is meant to be more orange/yellow in tone, and I believe it's the result of an error during printing. It's not the first one sheet for the Howling that I've seen with this discolouration and at least three can be seen in emovieposter's past sales history of the poster. I suspect that a batch of the posters fell victim to an issue with blue/green inks at the time of printing.

SHOCK after SHOCK after SHOCK as Desire drives a bargain with DEATH!
Another largely forgotten horror from the early 1970s, Blood and Lace sounds a very interesting film, particularly since it was apparently released with a PG rating (actually 'GP', but equivalent) despite featuring brutal murders and torture of children. This website also shows how many similarities there are between this and several other horrors that came after it (including the killer's striking resemblance to Freddy Krueger).
Notably, this was director Philip S. Gilbert's only film. It seems that it has never been released on DVD but was briefly available to stream on US Netflix so there's a chance that it may be given a release soon.
This US 30×40 features photographs that have been hand-tinted using brilliantly lurid colours and note the poorly-drawn blood-splatters on the hammer. I'm a big fan of what the designer of the poster did with the title.
The use of large, repeating type is a common them with horror film posters from this period.

This is a screen print by the American artist Mark Englert for the 1990 TV version of Stephen King's classic novel 'It', which was recently remade to great critical acclaim (and box office success). Originally shown as a two-part mini series, then later released on DVD and blu-ray as an edited single movie, the film is set in the fictional Maine town of Derry during two time periods (1960 and 1990). The story focuses on a group of children who are menaced by a shapeshifting creature that preys on their worst fears in order to attack and eat them. The creature appears once every 30 years and over the previous century many of the town's children have disappeared. The group (nicknamed by themselves as The Losers Club) decide to take on It who most often appears as the malevolent clown Pennywise (Tim Curry). After driving it back underground in 1960, the group make a promise to return and put a stop to It once and for all 30 years later.
Note that this is the regular edition and it glows in the dark which reveals hidden details, including Pennywise's face in a hidden moon, and the spider form of It in the top left corner glows too.
This print was created in 2012. Englert, whose official website is here, first appeared on collectors' radars with his print for The Thing that was released earlier in 2012. Since then he has worked on a number of landscape format prints (typically 12″ x 36″) featuring scenes from cult films and TV shows. One of his most popular releases was one for The Walking Dead that was released around the same time as this print. Each is given a name that relates to the property in some way. In this case 'They All Float' is part of the famous line spoken by Pennywise.
Check out this interview with Englert on Collider.com which was carried out at the 2012 Comic Con and they also featured him in their first ever 'Limited Paper' column. Englert's own site features the posters and other items he's worked on so far, which includes vinyl sleeves and more. There's a short biography on his website which mentions he was born in 1979. There's an excellent interview with Mark on 411posters.com here.

Cast style
Following the shocking death of British director Tony Scott in 2012 there was plenty of discussion amongst fans as to the film that defined his career, which included such titles as the none-more-80s Top Gun and several excellent Denzel Washington-starring thrillers such as Crimson Tide. There was only one film that I reached for from my blu-ray collection when I wanted to pay tribute to Scott and that was True Romance, the 1993 crime thriller starring Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette and a whole host of acclaimed actors. Featuring a fantastic script by Quentin Tarantino, the film is arguably the apex of Tony Scott's directing career and clearly benefits from his skill at injecting energy and verve into every scene. The film is also likely to be the defining role in the careers of both Slater and Arquette who were perfectly cast as Clarence and Alabama, the young lovers thrown together at the start of the film and who set off on a rollercoaster ride that leads them from Detroit to Los Angeles with murderous gangsters on their tail.
Clarence is a film-obsessed, lonely video store clerk who is at a cinema watching a triple-bill of Sonny Chiba films when he is approached by Alabama. The pair strike up a friendship and before the night is over are head over heels in love. The only issue is that Alabama is a hooker, hired by Clarence's work colleagues as a birthday present, and her pimp Drexl (a memorable Gary Oldman) is a violent drug dealer who none too keen to let her leave his employ. After a violent confrontation which sees Drexl dead and Clarence escaping with a suitcase full of cocaine. The pair first head to see Clarence's father (Dennis Hopper) and then travel across the country to Los Angeles to see Clarence's friend Dick Ritchie (Michael Rapaport) who has a potential lead for selling the drugs. Hot on their heels are a bunch of mobsters, as well as a pair of police detectives.
This is one of two styles of Japanese B2 posters and I've called this one the cast style. The other features a photo of Arquette clutching a shotgun in one of the more intense scenes of the film. Note that one of the cast members shown at the top of the poster is not actually seen in the film and if you've watched it you'll know which one!

We attended. We took notes. We networked.
But, now a month after the conclusion of the PWH Leadership Summit, what takeaways can we honestly say have fundamentally changed our perspectives on our profession and our purpose?
1) Be resilient in the face of adversity – I'm a 30-something mother of young children and a healthcare marketing leader. Some of you might relate with the prejudice experienced toward working moms: too young; too inexperienced to be a boss; spread too thin; should be home with kids. Newsflash: I'm over it and I'm owning it. Balancing the many moving parts of my life is challenging, but so rewarding. According to Valorie, resilient people have a level of physiological capital and mental toughness that enable us to perform and lead better under stress. Instead of apologizing for it, I'm going to embrace this stage of life moving forward. After all, I'm better because of it.
2) Taking risks is healthy – Fear, Valorie mentioned, is inevitable. But it shouldn't be a stop sign. Since PWH Summit I've faced professional and personal decisions that all have an easy, or safe, option. It's comfortable to take the path of least resistance as an individual, as a manager and as a leader. I'm now challenging myself to take more risks – try new ways of doing things. I'm finding routine and mundane cadences in my life that are not productive and replacing them with different approaches. Some may fail; some may flourish. Regardless of the outcome, I'll have lessons to share with my colleagues along the way.
3) Failures are your best learning tools – This message has changed my management style in such a positive way. It reminds me of the old saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure". What may have been, at one point in my career, a misstep or perceived failure could be leveraged as a teachable moment for others. This is particularly true for my fellow millennials, in my opinion, that are drawn to storytelling that is relatable and meets them where they are. I've challenged myself to take this approach more often and am encouraging my team to do the same.
4) Compartmentalize – Valorie nailed it. How much time do we spend focusing on aspects of our life or job that are out of our control? Working for a company with a defined mission, vision, values and goals means relinquishing some control. There will absolutely be aspects of our contribution that we can control and change; but there will inherently be aspects we cannot. I'm working on time management. Spending as much time as possible where I believe I can make the biggest impact. Compartmentalizing what's in and out of my control. So far – it's working great. And it's refreshing.
What messages did you bring back that are making appearances in your day-to-day? I'd enjoy hearing your perspective; share below in the comments section.

WuXi AppTec chief Felix Hsu: What Philly must do to lead in global gene therapy manufacturing
"If Philadelphia wants to be a major power, it needs to raise more money," says a leading executive in the growing field of gene therapy.
WuXi AppTec
by Joseph N. DiStefano | Columnist
Philadelphia, a venerable health-care town, is now a center of the growing gene therapy manufacturing industry, one of the few places in the world where hundreds — soon, thousands — of scientists, technicians, and other skilled staff rebuild cells to fight cancer and other diseases, using new tools and techniques from university researchers.
The city ranks with the Boston and San Francisco areas, and labs in China, as early centers for the fast-growing industry.
But Philly will need substantially more investment from private and public sources to maintain its lead, says Felix Hsu, head of the region's largest such operation, the Global Advanced Therapy unit of China's WuXi AppTec, which employs 600 at its South Philadelphia headquarters, labs, and offices.
"Remember when Nokia was the market-beater in phones?" Hsu said. "Remember Blackberry? Technology is vicious. It is moving in faster time cycles."
WuXi ("Woo-Shee") AppTec's parent company, WuXi PharmaTech, was set up by chemist Ge Li in Shanghai in 2001, to provide "synthetic chemistry services" to pharmaceutical companies. It arrived in Philadelphia with its early 2008 purchase of AppTec Laboratory Services, whose facilities developed and tested monoclonal antibodies and cell therapies, and tested vaccines and recombinant DNA.
The company's 75,000-square-foot Philadelphia center, including 16,000 square feet of manufacturing space, was "the first new building at the Navy Yard in 40 years," recounts Hsu. The plant employed about 260, of whom more than 100 were laid off as WuXi shut down its biologics (antibodies) production line late in 2008, citing the recession. The company maintained its cell banking and cell therapy manufacturing services, he added.
An electrical engineer with a University of Michigan MBA, Hsu had set up the AppTec lab at the Navy Yard site, after working at Medtronic and Abbott Laboratories. WuXi named Hsu a Senior Vice President and head of its U.S. business unit in 2009. Earlier this year, he was named Global Head of the Advanced Therapies unit, spun out from the U.S. business unit. Advanced Therapies includes the Philadelphia sites, plus a new site in Wuxi City, around two and a half hours west of Shanghai. The company has bought additional biotech research companies, from Texas to Germany.
Five years ago, founder Ge Li "made a decision we were going to become a major player in this new business" involving cell therapies, Hsu said. His group proposed expanding the Navy Yard labs, ensuring that "Philadelphia would be the place where we would build the business out." That meant adding a second, 55,000-square-foot lab complex, dubbed Commerce Center 3 by Navy Yard developers, "for late-stage commercial cell-therapy manufacturing."
In 2014, "we got into the CAR T-Cell companies," eventually adding a 150,000-square-foot viral vector manufacturing facility at 4071 League Island Blvd. to build cells shaped to fight particular cancers. Ge Li visited the plant, joining Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Mike Stack at a 2016 ribbon-cutting. The company has identified clients and partners whose therapies it makes, including Iovance Biotherapeutics (Seattle), Nohla Therapeutics (San Carlos, Calif.), Iqvia (Danbury, Conn.), the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, and the University of Pennsylvania.
With its new China facility turning Hsu's group into a global business, WuXi AppTec plans to keep expanding here and in China. "As we continue to build out, [head count in Philadelphia] should be 800 to 1,000 in the next three to four years," Hsu told me.
Penn has expanded its own gene therapy development and manufacturing programs, in partnerships with Novartis and others. Wistar Institute, Christiana Hospital, Thomas Jefferson University, and other area institutions also work in the field, among others.
The Navy Yard, with its state and city tax breaks, is an attractive place to locate, Hsu says. But Massachusetts and California communities also offer professional depth, sophisticated investors, and public incentives. Hsu says he has told his industry colleagues here that "if they want to build out like Boston, they will have to do a couple of things. We have the academic centers. We have some of the basic science. Penn and the others are on the cutting edge of technology.
"But then the technology gets commercialized somewhere else, like Boston. You need venture capital. The city and the state have to make this a priority. [Boston area government] committed hundreds of millions in funding and infrastructure. It paid off. That is why Cambridge is now the epicenter in biotech."
"We have the potential to be another hub, if things play out right. We're not in a place where it's so difficult to find workers. The training in this area is very good." But even WuXi AppTec, which got to Philly early, "will continue to consider other locations as well."
Hsu says China-based investors are "challenging" Silicon Valley for the first time. "The money markets in China have become more effective, and bigger. China is now giving the U.S. a run for its money."
I noted a string of recent Philly biotech deals that have attracted China-based investors. Zhenhua Huang's KBP Biosciences, of Philadelphia, reported raising $76 million for U.S. tests of China-developed heart, lung, and infection-fighting drugs from China's State Development and Investment Corp. and others. Tmunity Therapeutics, a T-cell-based company set up by Penn cancer fighter Carl June, raised $100 million from Ping An Ventures, an arm of China's largest insurance firm, and others.
There is also U.S. money: Adaptimmune, another Navy Yard-based T-cell cancer-fighter, raised $100 million in a Nasdaq share sale last week. And this past spring, Penn trustees committed $50 million to back companies including Tmunity, Steven Nichtberger's Tycho Therapeutics, and Saar Gill's Carisma Therapeutics.
It's a start, but Boston deals are bigger and come together more quickly, Hsu says. "If Philadelphia wants to be a major power, it needs to raise more money. There are very few venture capital firms here that invest in the cell and gene therapy space. Most are in Boston and San Francisco, and one or two in Seattle. So technology developed here moves to Boston because of the network they have built: They have serial start-ups. It's fascinating: the cost of living is greater in Boston and San Francisco, but that's where the critical mass still is.
"Money drives a lot."
This article has been updated to clarify Dr. Ge Li's intentions in starting the company and its early development.

A boat that plied the coast of the Holy Land 1,300 years ago carrying fish, carobs and olives is helping researchers better understand a little-known period in the region's history.
The boat, discovered in a coastal lagoon near the northern city of Haifa, dates from the early 8th century, not long after the rise of Islam and the Arab conquest of the Middle East. The find suggests that a long tradition of sea trade was not disrupted by the arrival of new rulers from the Arabian desert.
Marine archaeologists who released new findings this week said the boat — the only one from this period discovered in the Mediterranean — could help scholars understand how the arrival of Arabs changed life and trading patterns in the Holy Land.
The boat, the archaeologists think, sailed up and down the coast with a crew of four or five, fishing and stopping to trade at ports along the way. On one of its journeys, it went down in shallow water for reasons unknown.
This 45-foot-long craft was first discovered by researchers from Haifa University's Institute for Maritime Studies and Texas A&M University 10 years ago, in a lagoon that is home to some 25 other sunken craft dating as far back as 2,000 years ago. Serious investigation of the craft began last year, and scholars are only now releasing their findings.
Much of the still-submerged ship is uniquely intact, with the stump of a mast still visible. On board, the archaeologists found 30 clay pots originating in Egypt and containing the remains of fish. They also found ropes, a wooden spoon and well-preserved 1,300-year-old olives and carobs.
Yaacov Kahanov, the Haifa University scholar leading the excavation, said the find was important both because of the boat's rare state of preservation and because the craft dates from a period about which historians know little.
Kahanov said the find also showed there was a settlement, previously unknown, in the early Arab period on the beach near where the boat was found. "The sailors brought the boat into the lagoon deliberately, to meet someone, to sell or buy, meaning there was some kind of port nearby," Kahanov said.
More important, the boat could help to paint a picture of economic life in the Holy Land under Arab rule. Hailing from the desert, the new rulers had no seagoing tradition, and scholars are divided on whether trading patterns that existed before they arrived were preserved afterwards.
According to Joseph Drori, an expert on the Islamic period at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv, the boat could offer an indication that sea trade continued uninterrupted.
"If the age of the boat is right, then this is a very important find," Drori said.
When the boat went down in the lagoon, the Holy Land was an administrative backwater ruled from Damascus by the caliphs of the Umayyad dynasty, who had just built the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. The Muslim population was still small, and most people were Christian, Jewish and Hellenist. The sailors were unlikely to have been Arabs, Drori said.
"The Arabs came with no knowledge of the sea, and drafted craftsmen, sailors and shipbuilders from the local population," Drori said.

Bregovo ( ; ) is a town in the very northwest of Bulgaria, situated on the east bank of the Timok River close to its mouth. It is the administrative centre of the homonymous Bregovo Municipality, Vidin Province. The town is located close to the city of Vidin near the national border crossings with Serbia and Romania. As of December 2009, the town has a population of 2,592 inhabitants.

The name of the town was first attested in writing in 1560 in an Ottoman register. It is derived from breg, meaning "shore" (in this case, the Timok shore), while -ovo is a common Slavic suffix indicating a placename. A secular school was built in 1864, a post office followed in 1879, and a custom house emerged in Bregovo in 1895. A community centre (chitalishte) was in its turn opened on 26 December 1897.

Q: how to shell script regex perfect matching? I have a Bash script file that matches a regex.
My regex script file:
if [[ "$image" =~ [0-9]+(\.[0-9]+){3}\-[0-9]+$ ]]; then

I need to pass cases that only match 0.0.0.0-0000
These are my inputs and results.

pass : 0.0.0.0-0000

pass : 0.0.0.0.0.0-0000  << Unwanted match

no   : 0.0.0.0-word

no   : 0.0.0.0

As I marked above 0.0.0.0.0.0-0000 gets a match with my regex.
My question is how can I modify my regex to only match the pattern 0.0.0.0-0000?

A: Assuming that you are trying to match up some sort of IP address like String I came up with this regex.
^(\d+\.?){4}-\d+

Regex Demo
Note the \d+ in first capturing group (\d+\.?) which will match any number before a .. If the only starting pattern is 0.0.0.0, you can remove the + mark here to only match one digit character.
Explanation:
^ - Captures start of a String
(\d+\.?){4} - Captures a number that ends with a optional . character 4 times in a row capturing 0.0.0.0
-\d+ - Captures - character and sequence of digits in a row capturing -0000

A: This issue is solved.
The follow answer to up @The fourth bird
