Q: Publish apps for Android smartphones only our app currently supports smartphones and tablets. We'd like to publish an update which is for smartphones only, so we need to find a way to exclude all tablets from updating to the new version. The tablet users should keep the dedicated tablet version (switch during runtime in our old app) and not receive the update, which is designed for smartphones only. Checkmarking the devices on the developer console is uncomfortable and needs to much time for keeping the list up to date. Will it be a solution to work with manifest settings like compatible-screens or supports-screens. Won't there be a problem to exclude tablets on the one side and still include smartphones with bigger displays ? Any idea ? Many thanks, Sven

A: *

*In AndroidManifest you can specify supportScreen options set.

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens-distribution.html

*On Google Play Console, there is option for excluding certain devices (a lot of devices)

A: The destinction tablets vs smartphones isn't valuable to say to least, not to say non-existent.
You should decide based on capabilities what you want. Is it just screen-size? Then go for screen-size settings. There is "smartphone with bigger display", there are only devices with a certain display size. It doesn't help to categorize a 7" device as "a really big smartphone" or "a small tablet". Why should you?
If it is about being able to call, add that to your needs.
So in the end, if it is about screen size, filter on that in the manifest and don't worry about the "smartphones with bigger displays" as you don't want to serve them. If there is something else you actually want to filter on, then do that.

Takeda to Acquire Nimbus Therapeutics' Highly Selective, Allosteric TYK2 Inhibitor to Address Multiple Immune-Mediated Diseases
– Nimbus to receive $4 billion in upfront cash, and up to $2 billion in commercial milestone payments –
– NDI-034858 has potential best-in-class profile among new therapeutic class of selective allosteric TYK2 inhibitors for immune-mediated diseases –
BOSTON, Mass. – December 13, 2022 – Nimbus Therapeutics, LLC ("Nimbus Therapeutics" or "Nimbus"), a clinical-stage company that designs and develops breakthrough medicines through its powerful computational drug discovery engine, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement under which Takeda (TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK) will acquire Nimbus Lakshmi, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nimbus Therapeutics, and its tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor NDI-034858. NDI-034858 is an oral, selective allosteric TYK2 inhibitor being evaluated for the treatment of multiple autoimmune diseases following successful recent Phase 2b results in psoriasis.
"Nimbus' allosteric TYK2 inhibitor has the potential to be a best-in-class medicine in multiple disease areas, and we are confident that Takeda's commitment and capabilities will enable NDI-034858 to reach its full value to patients," said Jeb Keiper, M.S., MBA, Chief Executive Officer of Nimbus. "The proposed acquisition highlights Nimbus' ability to discover and develop high-value investigational medicines leveraging our computational structure-based drug design and development engine. We will continue to advance other exciting target programs in our R&D pipeline — including our selective HPK1 inhibitor, currently in a Phase 1/2 study in patients with solid tumors — as we have done since our founding in 2009."
Under the terms of the agreement, Takeda will pay Nimbus Therapeutics $4 billion upfront, and sales-based milestone payments up to $2 billion. The transaction is expected to be finalized in the first half of 2023. Closing of the transaction is contingent on completion of review under antitrust laws, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Nimbus Therapeutics will retain ownership of its other research and development subsidiaries. Takeda will be solely responsible for future development and commercialization of NDI-034858 and other TYK2 inhibitors.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Nimbus Therapeutics and Goodwin Procter LLP is serving as its legal advisor.

Exclusive Interview With Pop/HipHop Artist And DJ, Brittney Chantele
Brittany Chantele (2022)
Artist Brittney Chantele earned the title of "Best Rap/HipHop Performer" and "Best Unsigned Artist" in Pittsburgh for good reason. Their breakout single, "Moonroof" has amassed over 1 million streams to date and has set the stage well for the recent release of their full-length album, "Speaking With Swords," that dropped August 19th.
We caught up with Brittney to talk about the new album, making moves and what's coming up next.
Bridge: Tell us about you and your sound…
BC: My name is Brittney Chantele (they/them), and I'm a biracial, non-binary lesbian, Veteran, and barefoot shoe nerd currently living in Chicago. I grew up in Pittsburgh dreaming of making music like Ashanti and Destiny's Child and continue to be influenced by 90's pop and hip-hop. My sound continues to develop as I'm inspired by current artists like Kehlani and BANKS. I aim to not lock myself into a genre and just focus on the best way to capture the story I'm telling. I write about love, sex, relationships, and how I navigate through the world, whether that's going through a breakup or shaking my ass on the dance floor. I make music that is honest, uplifting, and empowering.
Bridge: Which hat would you say you enjoy wearing the most, artist or DJ?
BC: I don't know if I can choose! My music is like my baby – I'm so protective of it, but at the same time, want it to explore the world. The fact that I have people across the world enjoying my art blows my mind. And, of course, there is nothing like performing my own music for a live audience. It's an indescribable experience. DJing also allows me to connect with a crowd, but in a different way. There's something so fulfilling about screaming the lyrics to songs I've loved since I was 14 with a crowd screaming them right back to me. Either way, I get to curate shared human experiences through music. Is it cool if I wear both hats?
Bridge: What was going through your head as you watched "Moonroof" blow up?
BC: Honestly, I wasn't expecting 'Moonroof' to be the hit song off my album, 'A Fire on Venus.' It meant a lot to me because it showed that people listened to the album all the way through since it's the second to last song on the album. As the streaming numbers started to go up, I was elated to know so many people were resonating with the song – specifically the lyric, "love yourself, you deserve it now." I think the idea of "loving yourself" can be one we think we have to wait for. As if we have to reach a certain age or milestone to be able to love ourself. I wanted to express that we all deserve to love ourselves now, in this very moment, and I think that's the main reason this song became such a "feel good" jam. This also meant my music was not only being heard but felt, and 'Moonroof' blowing up in the way it did motivated me to make more music. I would say it's a direct correlation to the kick start of writing my upcoming album, 'Speaking with Swords.'
Bridge: What's the reason behind the move from Pittsburgh to Chicago?
BC: It was a combination of things. In early 2021, I went through a break-up and felt like I hit a ceiling in Pittsburgh with my art. Then I took a trip to visit my best friend in Chicago and fell in love with it. Before I moved, I was scared of not being "known" in the city I lived in, of "failing" and being alone, but Chicago just felt right. I had to let go of those fears and listen to my intuition.
Bridge: How has the change in location affected your art? (if at all)
BC: For one, no one knows me in Chicago, whereas in Pittsburgh, I can't lie, I would get stopped on the street. I was constantly performing around the city and was totally immersed in the music scene. Being in a bigger city where I'm not as connected allowed me to take a natural break from performing and collaborating. I've been able to slow down and focus on myself, my mental health, and my artistry. I've written more songs in the last year than I have in my entire life. I'm already planning for future projects and experimenting with sounds that people are not used to hearing from me, so stay tuned!
"Suit Of Air" Brittney Chantele (2022)
Bridge: Tell us all about the upcoming album…
BC: My upcoming album, 'Speaking with Swords' is an album that I'm truly proud of. We started working on it about two years ago before I even had thoughts of moving to Chicago, so it feels like a representation of my growth both as an artist and a person since 2020. I think there's a little something for everyone on the album as there are slower songs like, 'Premeditated' which is a jam for anyone who has experienced being cheated on. And then there's songs like, 'Let Me Find Out' which offer a more hype vibe to get the party started with your boo. I worked with some of my favorite collaborators, who I'm also lucky enough to call my friends. The album was produced by multi-platinum, grammy nominated music producer Ryan M. Tedder, whose credits include Wiz Khalifa, Neyo, Kandi Burruss, T-Pain, Jennifer Lopez, Lecrae, H.E.R, Ariana Grande, and Meghan Trainor. Two songs were co-produced by Aaron Karsh and 16 of the tracks were either co-written or co-produced by Livefromthecity.
Bridge: If you could only point listeners to one song on the album, what would it be and why?
BC: 'Premeditated' for sure! I'm really proud of this song as I wrote it entirely by myself, and I feel like I put all of my vulnerability on the table. 'Premeditated' is a song about getting cheated on – by someone you expected to get cheated on. Not because of a previous wound, but because you just know that you can't trust the person you're with. It highlights points in my life where I settled for mistreatment, distrust, and gaslighting. My favorite lyric is:
"Packing up my boundaries
'bout time
Can't believe I boxed them up to move in with you
Can't believe I got a house and moved in with you
Can't believe I'm moving out to get rid of you"
Bridge: What's in store for the second half of the year?
BC: I'm REALLY excited to start performing again – so that's my top priority as 'Speaking with Swords' drops. I'll be releasing new merch, announcing brand partnerships, and planning a tour for early next year.
Bridge: Anything else we need to know?
BC: My first album 'A Fire On Venus' is being pressed into vinyl as we speak! Pre-order your autographed copy on Bandcamp: https://brittneychantele.bandcamp.com/album/a-fire-on-venus

Q: Analysis of customer along time I have the task of developing a SQL query for analysing the behaviour of a customer through time.
So, I started with two tables; a calendar table (with each year-month-day of some years), and a sales table (with an ID and a purchase date of my interest) This is the query:
SELECT [Spice Id], FORMAT([Fecha venta],'yyyyMM') AS Purchase_Date
INTO #Sale_date
FROM SALES
WHERE [Spice Id] IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY [Spice Id], [Fecha venta]

enter image description here and enter image description here
Then I use a cross join to have all dates available even though the customer has no purchase in dates, I use a where clause to limit the table as I want to. Query below
SELECT [Spice Id], year, YearMonth, Purchase_Date, (Purchase_Date) AS First_purchase, (Purchase_Date) AS Last_purchase
INTO #Sorted
FROM #calendar
CROSS JOIN #Sale_date
WHERE year > 2019
  AND Purchase_Date > 202001
  AND Purchase_Date < FORMAT(GETDATE(),'yyyyMM')
  AND YearMonth BETWEEN purchase_date AND FORMAT(GETDATE(), 'yyyyMM')
GROUP BY
    [Spice Id], Year, YearMonth, Purchase_Date
ORDER BY
    [Spice Id], Year ASC, YearMonth, Purchase_date

enter image description here
Then as you can see first purchase and lastpurchase are just the same as purchase date, so I update both values with the following:
----------UPDATE MIN
UPDATE #Sorted
enter code here`SET #SORTED.First_purchase = t1.minimo
FROM #Sorted
INNER JOIN
(SELECT [SPICE ID],MIN([First_purchase]) AS minimo
FROM #Sorted
GROUP BY [Spice Id])
AS t1 on t1.[spice id] = #Sorted.[spice id]

--------------Update Max
UPDATE #Sorted
SET #SORTED.Last_purchase = t1.maximo
FROM #SORTED
INNER JOIN
(SELECT [SPICE ID],MAX([Last_purchase]) AS maximo
FROM #Sorted
where Purchase_Date <= YearMonth
GROUP BY [Spice Id])
AS t1 on t1.[spice id] = #Sorted.[spice id]

So once I updated both values I got the following result, I'll use a specific ID to be more clear:
enter image description here
AS you can see, I have some mistakes Purchase_Date is not correctly ordered, I really don't mind that much because i can drop that column and leave just Start and Last, my big trouble is with last purchase, it should change overtime and update as in the following example I don't know if you find any mistakes in my logic or a better way to get to it, I wish to see the final table as this
enter image description here
I hope it is clear enough, thank you very much for your help!!

A: I'm not entirely sure your desired output but the updating logic to get the first and last purchase date is entirely unneccessary. You can use something like the below to always obtain these values
min(Purchase_date) over (partition by spice_id) as first_purchase
max(Purchase_date) over (partition by spice_id) as last_purchase

If you wish for purchase date to be ordered correctly then you need to evalute your order by clause, since this is last in the clause it is ordered after the first several columns have been ordered

The withholding tax in Switzerland
In Switzerland, the withholding tax is charged on income derived from capital, such as interests on bank accounts and securities, dividends, pensions and annuities, lottery winnings and shares on profits. The usual tax rate for the withholding tax is 35% for income derived from capital and lottery winnings, 15% for pensions and annuities and 8% for other insurance benefits. However, the withholding tax can be refunded if the assets and revenue they produce is declared in the tax return. Therefore, the claim for a tax refund is triggered automatically. In most cases, the refund is set off against the tax amount due in cantonal tax or is repaid.
Corporate withholding tax in Switzerland
The tax rate for the corporate withholding tax in Switzerland is 35%. If a tax relief is granted, the sum paid for the withholding tax is refunded. In the case of dividends between qualifying related companies, a notification or reporting procedure may be requested for the fraction of Swiss withholding tax exceeding the residual withholding tax. Credit for the portion of Swiss withholding tax which is not tax relieved may be available in the country of the recipient, depending on the provisions of the applicable double taxation avoidance treaty.
Interest derived from regular loan agreements is exempt from withholding tax in Switzerland. The 35% withholding tax rate is levied only on interest paid by banking institutions or legal entities qualified as banking institutions, interest on bonds an interest on bond-like loans.
Several of the double taxation avoidance treaties concluded between Switzerland and other countries contain a full relief if interest of dividends is paid to governments of the respective states, including governmental institutions and political subdivisions, central banks and pension funds.
Swiss holding companies may benefit from a reduced withholding tax rate if recipient of the dividends is a corporate body, as provided by the concluded double taxation avoidance treaties. For example, the recipient can't be taxed as a partnership.
Interest paid on bonds with claim waiver of systematically important banks is exempt from the Swiss withholding tax rate. The exemption is restricted to bond issued by the respective institutions between 2013 and 2021. Interest of certain bail-in bonds issued by the said institutions between 2017 and 2021 is also not subject to withholding tax rate. These bonds must fulfill certain criteria in order to benefit from the withholding tax exemption.
Swiss withholding tax on dividends paid by a Swiss company subsidiary to an EU parent company may be reduced to 0% if both companies are subject to CIT and a minimum of 25% of the subsidiary's capital is held for at least 2 years.
The withholding tax is not levied on royalties, licenses and other fees related to intellectual property payable by Swiss companies or individuals.
Withholding tax for foreign citizens in Switzerland
Foreign citizens that are residents of Switzerland and cross-border commuters have their income tax at source. The withholding tax is deducted directly from their salaries on monthly basis and the employers forward the taxes to relevant Swiss tax authorities.
However, foreign citizens that hold a Swiss C permit or who are married to a Swiss citizens or a person who holds a Swiss C permit are exempt from the withholding tax and are taxed under the statutory assessment procedure.
The level of withholding tax deductions is based on applicable rates depending on a person's civil status, on the number of children involved and if their spouse has a job or not. Tax rates vary depending on the Swiss canton of residence.
Deductible expenses can also be applied retroactively. Certain costs can be subject of tax reassessments such as costs of continuing education and training, occupational pensions, external child care etc.

While there is much in store for markets this week from the US, between the midterm elections tomorrow and the FOMC meeting on Thursday, today's biggest headline is really about the UK and Brexit. Allegedly, albeit with no corroboration from either side, the entire UK will remain in the customs union, not just Northern Ireland, in the immediate aftermath of Brexit as the two sides continue to work out the eventual solution. May's idea is that she will present this to her cabinet with an ultimatum to approve it and send it to Parliament in order to get the process completed before the end of the year. And while the other 27 members of the EU must also ratify the deal, the current belief is that there will be limited problems doing that. However, this all remains speculation at this point, except for the fact that May and her cabinet have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow where more details should become available.
It cannot be surprising that the pound has rallied on the news, jumping 60 pips on the open although since giving back about half that original gain. The broad consensus in the market is that any deal will result in the pound trading sharply higher, although I am skeptical that it can stay much above 1.35 for any meaningful amount of time. Even if the Brexit monkey climbs off the pound's back, the market will still have to account for the fact that UK growth is slowing more sharply than its peers and that the pressure for the BOE to raise rates will likely ebb accordingly. But for now it remains speculation as to whether a deal is imminent or not. And as long as that uncertainty remains, the pound will be beholden to the latest story or headline on the subject.
Away from the pound though, the dollar is starting to show some life at this stage of the morning. Friday's employment report, with NFP printing at 250K and AHE at 3.1%, confirmed that growth in the US continues to outperform virtually every other region in the world, and will have done nothing to dissuade the Fed from continuing its rate hiking strategy. While there is no expectation of any activity by the Fed on Thursday, the market probability for a rate hike in December remains above 80%. As long as US data continues to outpace that of the rest of the world, it seems unlikely that the Fed is going to stop.
Regarding the US midterm elections, clearly there is the potential for a market reaction depending on the results and whether the Republican party maintains its hold on the House of Representatives. If not, a split government (it is assumed that they will retain the Senate) will clearly impede the president's plans for further economic stimulus programs and reintroduce brinksmanship to things like budget discussions. Net, given the current economic situation, I expect that after a kneejerk response, it is unlikely to have a significant impact for a while. However, it does open the possibility of more inflammatory rhetoric, including the threat of impeachment hearings, which may well detract from the dollar's performance going forward. As we learned following President Trump's election, markets pay close attention to significant electoral changes. With this in mind, it is important to remember that many pundits have been forecasting the Democrats will retake the House, so if the Republicans hold on, even with a much smaller majority, that may be an outcome not currently priced into the market. My point is that there is still great uncertainty to the outcome, and it is not entirely clear the FX impact that will result.
Away from those stories, the biggest news we saw was the weaker than expected Caixin PMI data from China. The Services print was 50.8 with the Composite number at just 50.5. The latter was at its weakest in more than two years and is an indication that the trade conflict with the US is continuing to take a toll on the Chinese economy. In addition, there were several articles in the press this weekend explaining that despite President Trump's tweets last week, the meeting between Xi and Trump is really just going to get the trade negotiations restarted. There is no deal imminent. It should be no surprise that the renminbi has weakened during the session, especially after last week's remarkable rally. So the 0.3% decline this morning needs to be kept in context, and simply represents a move back toward its previous trend.
Broadly speaking, the dollar is performing well against the EMG bloc today with MXN (-0.4%), INR (-0.9%) and KRW (-0.5%) indicative of the type of market activity ongoing.
Looking ahead to the upcoming data, we see that beyond the Fed and election, there is precious little that we will learn.
So between the US elections and PM May's cabinet meeting with its chance to make real Brexit headway, there is much to look for this week. But the data will not be the story. As to today's session, APAC equity markets have reversed some of last week's gains after it became clear that trade situation wasn't going to improve in the very short term. US equity futures are pointing lower, although Europe is modestly higher. It all strikes me as though traders are biding their time awaiting the big news, which makes sense. Look for a dull session today, but with the chance for some fireworks tomorrow, at least in the pound if something happens in the cabinet meeting.

6 Things You Should Know About Caravaggio
When many of us think about Italian Renaissance art, we think about the usual trio: Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael. All three were geniuses who seemed to be touched by the hand of God. Between them, they produced some of the finest art the world has ever seen.
But few of us make that trio a quartet by including the name Caravaggio.
To those in the know, Caravaggio was blessed with as much talent – if not more – than Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael. But because he was a rogue and a vagabond who preferred a street fight to remaining faithful to a commission, his name was banished from history for a few centuries.
Because of his reputation for hard drinking, and refusing to bow to the authorities, Caravaggio's name is mentioned less frequently than the aforementioned trio's. Yet his contribution to art is just as important as his peers.
If you're looking to take a foray into the man behind the mask, let's take a look at 6 things you need to know about this swashbuckling, rebellious artist.
Caravaggio Reacted Against The Art Of Michelangelo
Caravaggio really got into the swing of things thirty-four years after Michelangelo died, and his style of art was a violent reaction to what his predecessors had trotted out.
Where Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael went for light, fantasy and conventional religious scenes, Caravaggio went for darkness, and dirty realism. He left no stone unturned, and even painted the grime underneath a person's fingernails.
And where the aforementioned heroes of the Renaissance used reputable and respectable models to pose for their work, Caravaggio plucked ordinary people off the streets in a bid to create a new language of art that has been described as "theatrical realism."
American critic Bernard Berenson wrote: "With the exception of Michelangelo, no other Italian painter exercised so great an influence. After him, painting would never be the same."
Caravaggio Almost Died From The Plague
There is no getting away from the fact that Caravaggio's art is dark; so dark, in fact, that it paved the way for the Baroque period.
Perhaps one of the reasons his art is bereft of light is because Caravaggio very nearly died from the Plague, a deadly epidemic that swept through Europe, claiming the lives of his father and uncle.
Not long after he had arrived in Rome in his early twenties, the artist fell ill and was dragged to a local hospital for the poor by his friend.
His friend didn't expect him to survive.
But fortune shone on Caravaggio, when a local wealthy man recognised him as the burgeoning artist and paid for him to have proper treatment.
Despite recovering, this episode dogged him for the rest of his life, and he suffered headaches and stomach aches until his death.
Caravaggio's Career Ended Prematurely, After A Street Fight
Caravaggio was a rogue who was often getting into fights.
But a beating he handed out to a man in Malta proved to be his undoing, as a few months later the victims' friends sought their revenge.
Caravaggio was consequently set upon outside a gay bar in Naples by a gang of men. The attack was so vicious that his face was permanently disfigured, and his eyesight damaged.
He was never able to properly recover, and produced just two more works, both of which were bereft of his usual skill and talent.
Caravaggio Worked Quicker Than Anyone Else
Most artists of Caravaggio's day produced preparatory drawings before painting onto canvas.
This method is still used by artists all around the world today. It helps an artist to get a feel for the work, iron out any potential issues, and lay the groundwork.
Caravaggio, though, never produced a preparatory drawing. Instead, he went straight to the canvas.
Not only that, but he raced through a painting, completing a work of art in less than half the time it took his peers.
During his lifetime, he was criticised for his methods, but there is little doubt that the quality of this mercurial talents' output was not diminished by his speed; rather, we could argue that his works are all the better for it. There is a ferocious ecstasy that is unmatched elsewhere.
Caravaggio Very Nearly Remained Anonymous
As has already been mentioned, Caravaggio was a rogue who chose the left-hand path. Rather than do as people asked, he chose to forge his own path in life, and in art.
Consequently, when he arrived in Rome (which was the art capital of the world at the time), he was offered the chance to make his fortune and live in the large estate of a wealthy patron named Valentin. There was just one condition – he had to paint religious scenes, which were in-vogue.
Preferring his freedom to choose and do, Caravaggio refused and painted Bacchus, the god of wine instead.
The painting was refused, and Caravaggio was penniless and living on the streets. Again, he was offered a chance to make his fortune so long as he painted a religious scene.
Once more he refused, this time painting a fortune teller.
But his benefactor Valentin was persistent, and eventually persuaded the troubled Caravaggio to finally paint a religious scene. Caravaggio at last obliged and painted a masterpiece entitled The Ecstasy of Saint Francis. And thus his star was born.
Caravaggio Painted Cruel Scenes
Religious paintings were the order of the day during Caravaggio's time. His contemporaries painted biblical scenes such as the annunciation, the adoration of the magi, and the last supper.
Not so Caravaggio.
With a lust for bloodthirsty scenes that predated the Gothic period, Caravaggio chose to paint biblical stories that were x-rated.
As such, he painted the sacrifice of Isaac, the beheading of Holophernes, the martyrdom of Saint Matthew, and the flagellation of Christ.
He also painted Medusa, the cruel mythological monster who turned people into stone. Nice.

Overview. Research in my laboratory is focused on understanding fundamental biological processes in atomic detail. A multi-disciplinary strategy is employed using macromolecular X-ray crystallography to determine high resolution, three-dimensional images of proteins and appropriate complexes. The structural information is combined with biochemical, biophysical, genetic, and computational analyses to address questions central to cancer biology. In addition to generating basic biological insights, this approach may facilitate the development new therapeutic agents for the treatment cancer and other diseases.
DNA Replication. My laboratory has contributed to understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie accurate and mutagenic DNA replication. By integrating high-resolution X-ray structures with functional studies and computational analyses we have been able to elucidate key features that determine high-fidelity DNA replication. This work included exploitation of the properties of a DNA polymerase I that replicates DNA even when crystallized, allowing us to capture high-resolution snapshots of this polymerase in action. We are using this polymerase as a model system to study molecular mechanisms of DNA mis-pair incorporation and action of carcinogens that can lead to mutations. These approaches enabled us to (i) capture all mismatched bases bound in a polymerase active site and identified structural mechanisms that lead to polymerase stalling and subsequent error correction; (ii) establish the molecular basis for the mutagenicity of several classes of damaged DNA including O6-methyl-guanine lesions and 8-oxo guanine lesions; (iii) capture a tautomeric C-A mismatched base pair that is isosteric to a correct Watson-Crick base pair in the polymerase active site, providing the first direct evidence for the rare tautomer hypothesis for spontaneous mutagenesis noted by Watson and Crick in 1954.
Human DNA Mismatch Repair. We are applying the same approaches to the study of multi-protein DNA assemblies involved in human mismatch repair (MMR). Mismatch repair is essential for maintaining genomic stability of all organisms. Defects in genes involved in mismatch repair lead to elevated mutation rates, and confer a strong predisposition to tumorigenesis. In collaboration with Professor Paul Modrich, current experiments are focused on understanding the structures and molecular mechanisms of protein-DNA assemblies involved in the initiation of the human mismatch repair reaction. We have determined crystal structures and elucidated molecular mechanisms of DNA recognition and specificity for human mismatch repair proteins MSH2-MSH6 (MutSa), and extended these analyses to MSH2-MSH3 (MutSb). These proteins are large ABC-ATPases that are the primary sensors of DNA replication errors in MMR. This work contributes to understanding the etiology of cancer causing HNPCC mutations. My laboratory has determined the structure and catalytic mechanism of human exonuclease I and is working to understand how this nuclease is regulated in different DNA repair processes. Initially, identified in the context of MMR, this 5' structure specific nuclease is involved in a number of DNA metabolic processes, including end resection in double strand break repair, telomere maintenance and rescuing stalled replication forks.
Post-translational lipid modifying enzymes. Numerous signal transduction proteins, including members of the Ras GTPase superfamily, require post-translational attachment of an isoprenoid lipid group for proper function. My laboratory has made fundamental discoveries elucidating the structure and molecular mechanisms of the human CaaX protein prenyltransferases that carry out this essential posttranslational modification. We determined the first structures of a protein farnesyltransferase (FTase), and protein geranylgeranyltransferase I (GGTase I). Subsequently, we have determined a series of structures representing the major steps along the reaction coordinate of these enzymes. From these observations can be deduced the structural determinants of substrate specificity and an unusual mechanism in which product release requires binding of substrate, analogous to classically processive enzymes. These essential enzymes are considered promising targets both for the development of anticancer drugs and for treatment for infectious disease (see below). These studies have been extended to CaaX prenyltransferases from a number of human pathogens for the purpose of drug development (below).
Structure-based drug design. Inhibitors of FTase (FTIs) cause tumor regression in animals and are being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of human cancer and other human diseases. My laboratory has published a series of papers with chemists from both academia and industry that define binding modes for human farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) and describe their mechanism of inhibition. Additionally, we have collaborated with medicinal chemists on the structure-based development of both FTIs and GGTase-1 inhibitors (GGTIs) for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. My laboratory has contributed over fifty crystal structures of native FTase and GGTase-1 and mutant variants bound to substrates, products and inhibitors to the Protein Data Bank (PDB). We have extended these studies to prenyltranferases from human pathogens, most notably Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus, and determined crystal structures, defined the enzymatic reaction cycle, determined the basis of ligand selection, and identified structurally divergent regions of the active site that can be exploited for development of specific inhibitors. We have identified novel anti-fungal compounds both by repurposing known human FTIs and through in silico screening of small molecule libraries. Several FTIs tested in vivo are fungicidal and are being optimized to improve potency.
Observing Enzymes in Action. A common theme of the laboratory is the study of enzyme mechanisms at near atomic resolution by determining three-dimensional structures that represent stages along the reaction pathway. Structural information is combined with biochemical, biophysical, and computational analyses to understand how enzymes function. An exciting direction arises from the observation that enzymes BF DNA polymerases I and human exonuclease I retain catalytic activity in the crystal. We are adopting a time-resolved X-ray crystallography strategy to the investigation of these enzyme mechanisms.

Joshua Cole's mother spotted a famous face as they were walking to their connecting flight in Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport in 2003.
Cole said that he was skeptical at first, but walked over to the woman and asked if she was, indeed, Coretta Scott King.
She replied, "Why, yes, I am young man, and how are you?" Cole, president of the Stafford County chapter of the NAACP, told the more than 350 people packing the Fredericksburg Hospitality House & Conference Center ballroom for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Prayer Breakfast Monday.
Cole, who recently announced that he plans another run for Virginia's 28th House District, said that it was always exciting for him as a boy growing up in Stafford to hear stories of the late civil rights leader. He was devastated to learn when he was a child that King had been assassinated, and he'd never have the chance to meet him.
Cole, the keynote speaker at the Fredericksburg Branch NAACP's annual event, paused for a round of applause before adding people can't be complacent and think that the dream of equality that King spoke of 51 years ago in his famous "I Have a Dream" speech has become reality just because some legislation has been passed and an African–American was elected president.
"The reality is we have merely placed Band–Aid after Band–Aid after Band–Aid after Band–Aid on a wound that has never healed," he said.
Injustices are still going on across America and the world, from the ongoing government shutdown to illegal immigrant children being separated from their parents to Civil War monuments being preserved in the name of history, said Cole. He reminded them of King's message that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," and urged them to continue the fight.
The Fredericksburg Branch NAACP has honored King's memory with a breakfast program on Martin Luther King Day since 2001, when the Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Young, its president at the time, organized the first one. The program has grown in popularity over the years, and Monday's was the largest ever, said Charlyne Jackson–Fields, the current Fredericksburg Branch president.
Gaye Todd Adegbalola, the branch's vice president, kicked off the program at 9 a.m. by leading the audience in a rousing rendition of "Woke Up This Morning (With My Mind Stayed on Freedom), a revamp of an old gospel song created during the Freedom Rides. It was one of a number of musical selections featuring Keith Armstead and his ensemble that interspersed prayers, remarks and a salute to artist Johnny P. Johnson and his wife, Jean, recipients of this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award, and Brandon Woolridge as the organization's first Youth Humanitarian Award winner.
The Johnsons were outstanding teachers in the Fredericksburg school system from the late 1950s to early 1980s, and provided critical leadership as the city's schools were integrated, said Xavier Richardson, who presented the awards.
Richardson lauded the Johnsons' dedication to community service and philanthropy, and noted the hundreds of paintings that Johnny Johnson had donated to organizations.
In accepting the honor, Johnson said that his interest in civil rights was sparked 65 years ago in his hometown of Henderson, N.C., when a black woman called the police because her mentally ill brother was "acting up." The police couldn't get him out of the house, even after tossing in canisters of tear gas. The sheriff deputized a taxi driver at the scene who had a .30–30 rifle, and the taxi driver shot the unarmed man.
Henderson was a hotbed of KKK activity at the time, he said, and the taxi driver's action was deemed legal because he'd been deputized.
Johnson said that Mamie Scott, a Fredericksburg teacher, civil rights activist, and Head Start director who died in 2000, convinced him to be a life member of the NAACP when he moved to the city.
Woolridge, a James Monroe High School senior and captain of its football team, was inspired to perform random acts of kindness by his late father's insistence on giving money to the homeless, Richardson said. These have included asking a special needs student to accompany him to the prom, and presenting flowers and candy as surprise Valentine's Day gifts to the school's female custodians. His actions helped inspire JMHS students to vote for a special needs student as prom queen.
That captured what King was about and why people celebrate his legacy today, he said, but it's become too easy to look at their differences and it's more difficult to look at what they have in common.

Q: Base Exception Class for GCP Python Library: "google-api-python-client" I am using google-api-python-client library, provided by Google Cloud.
I am using lot of methods from it, to operate on compute-engine resources (Disks, instances, snapshots etc)
But while doing lot of operations, for better handling and resilient code, i should add try..catch blocks & while adding the blocks, i realized that Google-Cloud doesn't provide any basic Exception class.
Worst case that i have thought of is:
try:
 <code>
except:
 <prompt error>

But i believe this isn't the right way to do.
Am i missing something ? or the exception handler isn't provided by GCP-Library?

A: I gone through the documentation and the Error stack that API returns & i was able to figure out the way to handle errors to handle exceptions in our code.
So, Unlike you mentioned, it is possible..!
Using following way, we could handle the errors/exceptions.
import oauth2client.client
from googleapiclient import discovery
import googleapiclient.errors

#
# prepare credentials dictionary
#

try:
    compute = discovery.build(
            "compute", "v1", credentials=credentials)
except oauth2client.client.HttpAccessTokenRefreshError as e:
    print 'Error > ', e.message
except googleapiclient.errors.HttpError as e:
    reason = str(e._get_reason).split("\"")[-2]
    print 'Error > ', reason

I hope, this is helpful!
These two are the most common errors that come up. There might be other errors, which is completely dependent on case.
But all the errors should be present in googleapiclient.errors class
@Bill Prin, please let me know.

A: The short answer is that google-api-python-client does not have the exception classes you are looking for.
The google-api-python-client library is an older library that is supported but not actively developed. The client calling code is all autogenned and it's a very generic client for a lot of APIs so there aren't many meaningful exceptions coded in there other than at the network/transport/HTTP layer.
Development going forward is on google-cloud-python library, which is a mix of hand-written libraries and autogenerated ones. You may note that not all APIs, including compute, are there yet, although they will be in time. The new autogenerated code will focus more on idiomatic language patterns.
The new library has some more specific exceptions, but if you have any ideas on how to improve it further I'd describe your ideas as a Github issue on the google-cloud-python client library.

Moving Beyond Hotel Bibles, Gideons in Canada Announce New Name
ShareWord will continue to distribute Scripture, but emphasize church partnerships and equipping Christians for evangelism.
Adam MacInnis| October 11, 2021 01:21 PM
Image: mrod / Getty Images
Say "Gideons," and the vision that comes to mind for most people is Bibles in hotel nightstands and pocket-sized Scriptures passed out to students. It's a recognized brand, with a well-publicized purpose, but it's getting a new moniker in Canada.
Gideons International in Canada will now be known as ShareWord Global.
"God has called us to expand our evangelistic efforts internationally and come alongside our brothers and sisters across the world with tools, resources, and inspiration to be faithful—not just to a brand name, but to Jesus himself, who instructed us to 'go and make disciples of all the nations,'" said Alan Anderson, ShareWord president, in the announcement.
This new name comes a decade after the Canadian branch of Gideons International distinguishing itself from its mother organization, The Gideons International, which is headquartered in Nashville.
There were several reasons for creating an autonomous Canadian organization, Anderson told CT. One had to do with the Canada Revenue Agency's requirements for reporting money that was being sent overseas. But there were also some ideological differences. The Gideons in Canada wanted to open the organization to women; in the US it remains a men-only ministry.
"Sometimes the methods get confused with the purpose," Anderson said. "We took a step a back and asked ourselves, 'What are we trying to accomplish?'"
The Canadian organization also removed the vocational requirement that members be businessmen or professionals and took steps to work more directly with churches.
"We were able to invest far more heavily in partnership, especially partnership with the local church," Anderson said.
ShareWord will continue to distribute physical Bibles and gave away 2 million in 2020. The Canadian organization also developed a digital app called NewLife to introduce people to the gospel of Christ on their smartphones.
The Canadian organization is putting more emphasis on equipping churches with the tools and confidence to share the gospel.
"We do a fair amount of development and inspiration to people in congregations to be bolder about sharing their faith," Anderson said.
The emphasis on personal evangelism comes at a time when many schools and hotels across Canada decline the offer to place Bibles in rooms and in the hands of students.
"We're really committed to how powerful Scripture is, but how much more so will someone receive that if it's from a person rather than just sitting in a drawer?" Anderson said. "How much more likely are they to open it if there's someone who's telling them how much it's meant to them?"
A recent study by Alpha Canada and the Flourishing Congregations Institute reveals there is a great need for a revival of personal evangelism. Their survey conducted earlier this year found that 65 percent of Canadian church leaders reported evangelism hasn't been a priority for their congregations over the past several years.
Similar research conducted by Barna in the US found that 44 percent of Gen Z feel that it's wrong to share your personal beliefs with someone of a different faith.
According to the Alpha research, "Perceived antagonism toward Christian values and the Christian church" was the number one reason people aren't evangelizing.
"In North America, it has almost become wrong to share your faith, and there's a tremendous social hesitancy to do that," Anderson said.
But he believes that there's no better time for an organization like ShareWord to help Christians get past those hesitancies. As ShareWord looks ahead to the next five years, Anderson said he'd like to see partnerships with 5,000 churches, training 100,000 Christians to share the good news.
"If you can get over that fear barrier, it turns out there are more people who are interested than you would think, and there are far less people who are hostile than you would think," Anderson said. "I think we've built up fears that are not necessarily accurate."
ShareWord will also continue to expand its work in foreign countries, especially as new doors open. Anderson said ShareWord has been welcomed to spread Scripture in Cuba and give bibles to school-aged children in Nicaragua. ShareWord has a footprint in 47 countries with extensive work happening in about a dozen.
Anderson admits says the decision to change the name was not easy. The Gideons are well known, and members of the Canadian organization value that history. But in the end, it was time to leave the name behind.
"If you say the word Gideons to someone, they will immediately have an image of a Bible in a hotel room," he said, "and our ministry is so much more than that now."

Cat howling in the street leads to 999 emergency police call
"This caller, who did not have an emergency, may have prevented someone else who was in danger from getting through to us," said police

A cat howling in the street in the Oxshott area prompted a call to the police 999 emergency number.
The concerned member of public contacted police fearing the animal may be lost.
Surrey Police said the call was received at its contact centre at around 9.20pm on Tuesday evening (January 3).
The caller was advised that the matter was not an emergency and police said the call lasted a matter of seconds.
A post on the Elmbridge Beat Facebook page said this type of call "clog-up the system for those who really need us".
It said: "Call of the night was the 999 call we received telling us of a cat howling in the street, which may be lost.
"999 is the emergency number, 101 is the non-emergency number.
"Please do not call us for howling cats on either number - that is what they do folks."
'It's Christmas and I'm smashed out of my nut!': Hear drunken reveller call up Surrey Police on 999 to request a taxi
A statement from Surrey Police said improper use of the emergency number is a regular issue for its contact centre.
Sarah Durston, head of the Surrey Police contact centre, said: "Although most people use the emergency number correctly, this call is a perfect example of when it has not been used correctly.
"This caller, who did not have an emergency, may have prevented someone else who was in danger from getting through to us.
"This presents a real risk to our ability to respond to genuine emergency calls.
More than 80,000 calls to Surrey Police's 101 number went unanswered in 10 months
"The 999 number must only be used for situations where a crime is actually in progress or someone is in danger.
"Calling us on 101 does not change the police response you would get in a non-emergency situation, and using the right number could literally save someone's life."
Surrey Police said there are a number of ways to contact officers in a non-emergency situation.
The 101 number can be used to: report a crime that has already happened and the suspects have left the scene; speak to a police officer about an ongoing case; and make officers aware of any policing issue in your local area.
Crimes can also be reported using the online reporting system here.


The APWG Global Phishing Survey 2H2014 seeks to understand what the phishers are doing, and how, by quantifying the scope of the global phishing problem.
The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) has published the "Global Phishing Survey 2H2014", a report that comes with some interesting numbers on phishing activities. The Global Phishing Survey 2H2014 report states that in the second half of 2014 the domain names used for phishing broke a record, at least 123,972 unique attacks were observed all over the world, reaching the amazing figure of 95.321 unique domain names.
We identified 27,253 domain names that we believe were registered maliciously, by phishers. This is an all-time high, and much higher than the 22,629 we identified in 1H2014. Most of these registrations were made by Chinese phishers. The other 68,303 domains were almost all hacked or compromised on the vulnerable Web hosting.
Seventy-five percent of the malicious domain registrations were in just five TLDs: .COM, .TK, .PW, .CF, and .NET.
In addition, 3,582 attacks were detected on 3,095 unique IP addresses, rather than on domain names. (For example: http://77.101.56.126/FB/) We did not observe phish of any kind on IPv6 addresses.
The average uptime in 2H2014 was 29 hours and 51 minutes. The median uptime in 2H2014 increased to 10 hours 6 minutes, meaning that half of all phishing attacks stay active for slightly more than 10 hours.
Phishing occurred in 272 top-level domains (TLDs). Fifty-six of them were new top-level domains.
The ten companies that are targeted most often by phishers are attacked constantly, sometimes more than 1,000 times per month. Together the top ten targets suffered more than three-quarters of all the phishing attacks observed worldwide.
Phishing in the new top-level domains started slowly. We expect to see phishing levels in them rise as time goes on.
Chinese phishers were responsible for 85% of the domain names that were registered for phishing. These phishers started using .CN domains more frequently.
Phishing attacks were not mitigated as quickly. The median uptime of phishing attacks increased to 10 hours 6 minutes — up from 8 hours and 42 minutes in 1H2014. This means that phishing attacks were not being shut down as efficiently in the critical first hours, when most victims fall prey.

Shield charge, or whatever it was called, with that passive which added AoE for it. Just lovely.
Ternion Strike. As an interesting attack replacer. Such spells are awesome, if you can combine them with other spells, mainly attack enhancers.
There are probably a lot of important passive skills, I SHOULD list here but those that have come to mind are active AOE skills: Flame Surge, Ice Shard and War Wind. War Wind is great, if your weapon/s have a stun/slow/freeze effect. They let you handle hordes of enemies effectively.
While you can play most of the game with LMB only (and wait that your passive skills are triggered), these skills give you the satisfaction, that it was you, who mastered a difficult situation.
I'm also a big fan of healing spells - I started with a Conjurer and relied on healing my pets with Regrowth & Dissemination.
Vision of Death coupled with Plague. Purely the synergy between them; it was lovely to see a bunch of melee dudes coming at you, with their ranged fighters behind them. Than poison the melee fightersr and cast Vision of Death on them, so they'd run straight back through enemy lines and poison everything for you. Not the fastest way of killing enemies, but the sheer awesomeness of turning enemies against themselves through use of a synergy was wonderful.
I liked Dark Covenant as well, when I finally tried it out. With Heart of Oak (health) and Refresh (-recharge) to synergize, it worked perfectly. Although I think both the penalty and the reward could've been a lot bigger.
It really looked like you were wreaking havoc. And ofcourse Phantom Strike was buttrock as well.
The best-looking pet though, was the Coredweller. And Munderbunny managed to make it even more awesome in the Underlord mod.

Its really difficult to pick a favorite skill.
I would have to say Thunderclap was my favorite even though I didn't have control of the skill. It was so effective especially for a combat/casting class. Also it sounded nice, activated on a regular basis and kept me risking my character's life for the skill, "if i stay in combat just a little bit longer...must hold my ground".
My favorite graphic was Dream's Distortion Wave. Distort Reality was the same thing but I liked the directional wave graphic more. The blended purple and blue colors along with the dust and rocks were really quite the spectacle for me. I never teched it higher than level one, I just used it because it was cool and slowed a target group unaffected by Distort Reality.
Nature's Refresh skill really helped create synergy effects with my storm mastery. Being able to cast lightning and thunderball twice in one combat was really neat.
I would also like to say that Nature's Strength of the Pack was really nice because it made the wolves that much cooler with their howling noise and group buff.
A fun, solid archer line that provided ranged AoE damage.
A nice way to provide some offensive ability for a defensive setup.
The spread among nearby enemies concept is unique and choosing who to target for the most effectiveness is a fun tactical decision.
My geeky game editting blog.
My favourite effects were: Herbal Remedy - green sparkle fits well with a ranger wearing the tracker armour set, it was pretty awesome.
Deathchill Aura - looks great, really gives your character a dark feel.
Batter - Skeleton "I believe I can fly" Skeletons are the best enemies ever!
Summon Core Dweller - cool pet!!!
Hank: Oh boy, this planet that you're from? How far from the sun we talking?!
Shield Charge + Disruption - Great skill that has a very visceral feeling...rush forward slamming all enemies sending them flying!
Shield Smash + Pulverize + Disable - Great passives that have nice animations and devastating effects. One of the really nice things about this line of skills is it gives a impression that your character is evolving in armed combat. It mixes up the normal attack animation and there is a sense of melee progression. Most games in this genre the normal attack animation never changes.
Call of the Wild Skill Line - Actually, most of the pets in TQ but I'll just mention these guys...basically I really like how not only do the pets in TQ grow in power with investment, but they also gain skills. I think this really is a dynamic most ARPG's don't have. Of course Grim Dawn could improve this aspect...maybe actual choices in which skills to give a pet or something. Also, the one thing that was missing was visual upgrades to the pets as they grew in power. I hope Grim Dawn will do this for whatever pets they have planned.

Pulverize - One of the most vicious skills in TQ. The screen-shake, the damage and the AoE effect of this skill is grand.
War Horn - The stun for x seconds and -x% enemy life of the skill augment was grand. This is a very imposing skill.
Heart of the Oak - I like this skill tree: -x% energy cost and +x% elemental resists with +x% life is great. I love the fact that this skill is an aura.
And HotO's opposite Deathchill Aura - and all of it's oppressive subsidiaries. These skills are.... well, evil.
I like all the passive skills with a % chance to activate (volley, the dual will tree, the defense's right column...). With a good +X all skills, almost all blows cause an effect, it's a great feeling of power.
Otherwise, I like study prey and mandrake a lot.

sport, local-sport, Josh Bakes, Sheffield, Australia, Timbersports, Rookie, 2019, Sweden
Setting high standards for himself, Josh Bakes wants to leave Sweden victorious. The 21-year-old from Sheffield is heading off to represent Australia in the Stihl Timbersports rookie world championship in the European nation and is eager to take home the gold in his first international event. "I've felt really good. I'm training really well and I'm just keen to get there and get the win," Bakes said. The fourth-generation wood-chopper gained his ticket to Sweden through victory in the Australian championships on the Gold Coast in a thrilling one-point victory over fellow Tasmanian Daniel Beams. The titles incorporate four of the six timbersport disciplines: stock saw, underhand, single buck and standing block, with competitors gaining points for their individual performances within those divisions. Following in the footsteps of family members, including champion axe-man and father, Glenn Bakes, the North-West coast competitor has grown up around the sport. "I've seen pictures of me when I was four years old so I've been doing it for a while. "Growing up it's been the only sport I know." Bakes will take on nine other competitors from around the globe on Saturday, May 25, and sets off for Sweden on Friday for a training camp as he aims to recover from jet lag. The rookie world championship runs alongside the champions trophy event in which Victorian Lawrence O'Toole attempts to become the first athlete in timbersports history to hold all three world titles at once.

Make your sales and marketing efforts more effective.
This module for McLeod Software customers adds a complete native Customer Relationship Management system, integral to your existing LoadMaster or PowerBroker systems. As the name implies, the CRM module includes all of the tools to make your sales and marketing efforts more effective and organized.
Sales activities can be planned, recorded and measured. A configurable sales process definition that you control means suspects or prospects can be identified and tracked through the sales process, and all of their records become part of their customer profile when you convert them.
McLeod CRM has sales event and campaign planning, event management, account strategy management, territory management, opportunity management, sales activity measurement, sales call planning and tracking, outbound call planning and management, and sales management reporting. The system also supports your marketing efforts with a full set of tools for marketing campaign planning, tracking, execution, and evaluation.
The new McLeod CRM module was designed specifically for the transportation industry. Because it is built from the ground up on your LoadMaster and/or PowerBroker system's existing database, it eliminates the need for costly and complex integration and data synchronization schemes that are required to integrate third party CRM tools.
This also means that your sales team and CSR's will have a full 360 degree view of your existing customers from the system, including current and historical orders, invoices, claims, outstanding balances, shipment or load status, quote history and actual awards, and all with the same highly configurable data visibility and security controls you can employ now using LoadMaster or PowerBroker Responsibility Filtering.
Sales campaigns can flow directly from prospecting to qualification, to quotes, to orders, to execution seamlessly within the same system without the data errors, disconnects, or unsynchronized pieces of information that happen with external CRM systems.
Your sales management team will also be able to utilize Vital Signs for CRM for additional reporting and analysis of all of the CRM activities. You can create dashboards that monitor metric goals for the profile of each sales person and filter by specific attributes. The CRM vital signs application allows you to drill down to the origin of the record and analyze the details that make up each metric.
McLeod's Kem Wallace discusses seven benefits of using McLeod's CRM module.
Meadow Lark Companies, GIX Logistics, Kingsgate Transportation, and Eagle Transportation are four freight transportation companies using McLeod CRM to find new customers and boost revenue from existing customers.
