Today's Positive Thought
Today's Positive Thought is by Ernest Holmes, for a good friend on their birthday.
"Keep the thought clear and never worry about the way things seem to be going. Let go of all outer conditions when working in MInd, for there is where things are made; there creation is going on, and It is now making something for us. It must be believed as never believed before; It must be known as the great reality; It must be felt as the only Presence. There is no other way to obtain."

Guilt refers to a feeling of having done something bad or a perception that you did something wrong. Guilt by association means that you personally didn't really do something wrong but that people who you are associated with did. You are judged by the company you keep, so you can be viewed as guilty because of your association with wrongdoers.
There are many examples of guilt by association including:
These are all examples of guilt by association. Any situation in which the perception of a person or idea is colored by the company he keeps or by the source of the idea is an example of guilt by association.

Zielonka Smell Killer XL Air Cleanser with Cobalt Glass Bowl, from Zielonka Germany
The powerful smell killer XL can remove the most stubborn odors in areas up to 430 square feet! No more rooms that reek of stale cigarettes, burnt food, pets, sweat, or mold. It even clears the air in spaces that have been freshly painted or sprayed with insecticide. The innovative, trendy and slip-resistant rubber bowl fits perfectly the size and shape of the XL Smellkiller. It sits comfortably in the hollow and the three nubs located at the bottom of the bowl allow the Smellkiller to work most effectively.
SmellKiller XL includes a patented stainless steel alloy disc (diameter 3-1/4") and a 6 3/4'' diameter, 1" height, square, blue glass bowl. Both are dishwasher safe.
The big brother of the Classic Smellkiller works without chemicals and eliminates odors in rooms up to 430 square feet (20' x 21').
Rather than masking bad odors with perfumes or chemicals, the Smellkiller XL air cleanser uses the simple ingredients of water, air, and steel to neutralize them instead. The design is terrifically simple, yet powerful enough to affect up to 430 square feet, making it useful throughout the house. It lasts forever, as long as there is water in the bowl, and never rusts. Simple in appearance and relatively unobtrusive, the set can be placed on any flat surface. It measures seven inches square, is ready to use, and can be washed in the dishwasher, should lime build up.
- Removes bad odors, anywhere: Kitchen, pet areas (litter box, dog pillow), nursery (diaper pail), refirgerator, closet, home gym, family room, basement, garage, smoking area, office, dorm, RV, vacation home, laundry room, bathroom. It even lifts smells from your hands!
- Proven - Never rusts or loses its power, guaranteed to work
- Effective - doesn't mask odors, it neutralizes odors
- Safe: air cleanser works without chemicals, sprays or electric current so its safe around children and pets
- Economical: works using only water and air
- Portable: works wherever odors are, easy to move and can be place anywhere you need it
- Attractive: sleek, stainless steel design looks great on its own or can be integrated into a centerpiece
- For rooms up to 430 square feet.
- Patented - Made in Germany. Certified by a German Government Testing Laboratory.
Use Directions
For rooms with up to 430 sq. ft.
Simply fill the bowl with tap water and keep the smellkiller disc partially immersed in water. That's all! The smellkiller, together with air and water, causes the odor molecules to disintegrate. The result is totally natural odor elimination.

Customer Reviews
Ease of Use Overall Price / Value
GREAT HELPReview by JINGRONGon 2/9/2015I initially bought this smellkiller from Europe by paying around 70 EURO, which is much more expensive. It is also very heavy bringing across the Atlantic. But I've never seen it in Toronto. Yes, put it in kitchen, it really helps to eliminate those odors. last week, I purchased two more from Fabove (to save shipping), put one in living room, one in family room. Now I felt a big difference. It removes all smells.

NASA's Curiosity rover has just entered Sol 1812 operations on Mars.
The robot is exploring part of Vera Rubin Ridge.
Images taken by the rover show more rock and less soil. Some of the pebbles are relatively well rounded. The rock face up ahead is smooth and will mean easier driving.
Here are several new images indicating Curiosity is busily at work with its robotic arm outstretched. The rover's Chemistry & Camera (ChemCam) instrument fires a laser and analyzes the elemental composition of vaporized materials.

- Abstract
- The adsorption of nitrogen has been measured at 78K. for three artificial graphites and one carbon black, which have been brominated to saturation and then debrominated by heat-treatment under vacuum or in the presence of an inert gas over a range of temperatures. When the graphite of smallest area was brominated it did not return to its original area even after heat-treatment at 1000C., whereas the graphite of largest area exceeded its original area when it was brominated and heated at 1000C. The surface area of the brominated carbon black was restored to the original value when it was evacuated at 400C. After evacuation at 600C., the surface area was greater than that of the original carbon black, but fell to a value less than the original area when the sample was evacuated at 1200C.

text: KAT chooses Evonet software from Business Micros KAT has invested in Business Micros' EvoNet business management software as it strengthens its back office systems to keep pace with surging demand. The Macclesfield, Cheshire based company chose the hugely popular EvoNet solution because it is capable of integrating both the aluminium and PVCu sides of KAT's business, allowing it to offer a more streamlined service to customers. Previously, KAT used separate software for its aluminium and PVCu divisions and relied on manual order processing, leading inevitably to duplications and carrying potential for human error. Now though, following the introduction of EvoNet with barcode scanning, KAT has not only automated its order processing and its invoicing, but has also achieved better stock control, production and delivery planning in both of its Macclesfield factories. Every order is tracked from receipt to despatch in what are now both paperless factories and automatic ordering of glass and auto batching of frames is optimising productivity. KAT already offers a ten day lead time on all of its aluminium doors and windows and has a reputation for efficiency and reliability. Now though, even further efficiencies are being achieved across its factories in Macclesfield and Newhaven and many of these are being passed on to customers. There is now, for instance, consistency across the entire ordering process in both aluminium and PVCu and there have been significant improvements in reporting and communication. As the work with Business Micros continues, KAT plans to add further EvoNet modules to its operation so that it can offer customers online quotations and ordering, and real time delivery tracking. Such is the efficiency improvement that KAT achieved 98%+ On Time Delivery in August and September. KAT offers its customers a choice of seven colour ways in aluminium, including duals, delivered in just two weeks for all product categories. To satisfy demand, KAT has almost become a mini systems company in terms of stock holding and stock management; and the integrated stock management module has been instrumental in this. In fact, KAT's lead time to its customers is actually significantly shorter than that of many of the input components. The next benefit that KAT will deliver to its customers is the further reduction in its delivery time. From January 2017, KAT will offer aluminium glazing products on a seven working day lead time. This is made possible via working with Business Micros and its production planning module, coupled with a newly formed two shift system. Kat's aluminium factory now works 16 hours, five days a week. Business Micros started working with KAT at the start of the year and a small, dedicated support team has worked on the project throughout. This has been particularly helpful in terms of providing consistent customer service and in building a strong partnership between the two businesses. Although EvoNet is available off the shelf, Business Micros typically tailors a bespoke version for every customer to reflect their priorities, timescale and of course budget; and, at KAT, this has been focused around achieving a seamless integration between the two Macclesfield factories. Paul Balfe, Technical Director at KAT said: "For the first time, we have the same system working across both our factories and across both our materials and that gives us a really solid platform from which to manage our future plans and expansion. Using the reporting function, we can now get an instant overview of how we are performing in both aluminium and PVCu, identify both problems and opportunities, and make better informed decisions both day to day and longer term. "Having seen growth in sales of our aluminium windows and doors of just over 60% this year and a doubling of our factory capacity, we now have the software infrastructure we need, not only to keep pace with that but also to ensure that we achieve the efficiencies which will enable us to continue expanding at a similar rate." Business Micros has seen unprecedented demand for EvoNet this year from new and existing customers, with sales of the programme up 22% over 2015. Further details and demonstrations are available at: www.businessmicros.co.uk KAT has manufacturing facilities and showroom s in Macclesfield, Cheshire and Newhaven, Sussex.

New Genre Arts Festival restructures
Ayana Evans, featured New Genre artist
If you've seen Marina Abramović on YouTube, sitting at a table at the Museum of Modern Art and sharing a silent gaze with guests (around 1,500 of them, including her former lover), you've seen performance art.
Well, not quite. What you've seen is documentation of performance art. Probably you've been in your own space as you watched, your pause button under one finger, in control of a one-sided situation. The real thing is two-sided, immediate, personal; it requires you to be in the room with it.
Performance art can be unnerving, intense, hilarious, moving, subtle. It's not quite theater, not quite dance or visual art or spoken word. It's a live art practice in its own right, said Jessica Borusky, a performance artist and artistic director of Living Arts. Borusky is reconceptualizing and restructuring New Genre Arts Festival—in its 25th year as the organization's flagship event—as an invitation to a human experience on a very human scale.
Instead of being spread between the gallery and the PAC over two weeks as they have been in the past, this year's performances, installations, and educational events will all happen in the Living Arts space over the course of a single weekend.
The first performances will happen from 5–9 p.m. during First Friday on March 2, followed on Saturday from 1–3 p.m. with a panel discussion by the artists, then a different set of performances on Saturday evening. For those who want a hands-on experience, workshops led by artists Sichong Xie and Roz Crews will take place March 4. Thanks to a wide array of sponsors, every one of these events is free—a barrier-busting initiative launched under former director Steve Liggett in 2016.
The new format means a potent concentration of experiences chosen and orchestrated with both artists and audience in mind. A site map will be provided that tells who's performing where and at what time.
"People can take their own pathway through," Borusky said. "It's not unlike how one might curate a sculptural show. There are about 25 national and international artists in total over the course of these two days, some back to back and some overlapping. You're here for the whole time, but your understanding of time/space/body is a little bit different than in a theater where there are certain social expectations."
The restructuring encourages viewers to interact with artists outside of the performances as well.
"It creates a porous third space between artists and audience," Borusky said. "Come as you are. If that means you take a break and return, if you want to be quiet and reverent, if you want to chat with someone or talk to an artist—it's all okay. It's important that art asks us questions about ourselves and that we ask questions about art."
A new element of this year's festival is the Artist Engagement Dinner on March 1, where guests can talk more intimately with artists over a festival-inspired, family-style dinner created collaboratively by chefs from The Reserve at Grogg's Green Barn, Amelia's, and Red Thistle Catering Co., all within an analog sound and video installation by Austin, Texas artist Bug Davidson. (Tickets support the festival and are tax-deductible.)
"It's really important for us as human beings to have brand-new experiences," Borusky said. "Both for viewer involvement and for how Living Arts takes care of our local artists, it's so important to see work you never thought was possible from artists you may never have gotten a chance to see before—and you don't have to travel, and you don't have to pay. We want people to just have direct access to the work."
In a time when vulnerable bodies are coming forward in testimony and resistance, experiences of bearing witness, like those performance art delivers, are more critical than ever.
"This kind of art reminds us that we are all embodied, not only in that moment, but where our past bodies have been and where our future bodies can go," Borusky said. "With performance art, especially when we have our audience not seated in the dark, we open a pathway to practicing empathy here in the gallery.
"There's tons of bad performance art, bad dance, bad music. Just because it's weird doesn't mean it's good, well thought-out, or critically engaged. I think the stuff that sticks is the stuff that engages vulnerability."
You'll find that at New Genre.

LONDON: The Book of Common Prayer gets glossary for new millennia
By Catherine Pepinster
Religion News Service
The book gave us such phrases as "till death do us part" and "ashes to ashes, dust to dust." But nearly 500 years after Archbishop Thomas Cranmer created the Book of Common Prayer, many people, even priests, find its prose not so much quotable as mystifying.
Now the Church of England's trainee clergy are helping explain Cranmer's more obscure prose by publishing a glossary. All first-year ordinands -- trainee priests studying at theological colleges -- are to be given a copy of the guide together with a free copy of the Book of Common Prayer, an English-language product of the 16th-century break between England and the Roman Catholic Church, where Latin ruled.
The glossary will help students and others come to grips with phrasing such as "the quick and the dead," which means the living and the dead and has nothing to do with being fast, and explains that "miserable," for Cranmer, meant "pitiable" rather than feeling depressed.
The guide was written by Fergus Butler-Gallie, a 25-year-old first-year ordinand at Westcott House theological college in Cambridge, and commissioned by the Prayer Book Society, which promotes the Book of Common Prayer.
Cranmer wrote the book when he was Archbishop of Canterbury. It was first published in 1549 in the reign of Edward VI, after his father, Henry VIII, broke with Rome.
Though the Anglican Communion has since adopted prayer books in modern language, the BCP inspires strong feelings among its 80 million-plus adherents, with Prayer Book Society members passionately advocating what they consider the beauty of Cranmer's prose.
According to the recently retired bishop of London, the Rt. Rev. Richard Chartres, the Book of Common Prayer offers timeless qualities that can make it attractive to the younger generation.
"Far be it from me to promote a cult of quaintness, but the power of the Prayer Book to connect with many of those who find the ordinary diet of the church banal should not be ignored. There is now a younger generation who are realizing afresh the importance of complementing the argot of Twitter and (texting) with the majesty of Cranmer."
The Book of Common Prayer contains morning prayer, evening prayer, the Holy Communion service and a litany, as well as services for baptism, marriage and funerals, and epistle and Gospel readings for each Sunday in the liturgical year. Cranmer revised it in 1552, but there was a brief break in its use during the reign of Queen Mary I, who restored Roman Catholicism in England and had Cranmer executed.
Mary's successor, Queen Elizabeth I, revived it. A later edition became the standard prayer book for the Church of England until the 21st century, when Common Worship became the prayer book used in most Anglican Communion churches.
"In this sense it's the perfect 'millennial' liturgy in that it provides not only the roots but also the breathing space so craved by an unsure generation," Butler-Gallie said of the Book of Common Prayer. "Part of the purpose of the glossary was to encourage people to think through some of the theology behind that beautiful language."
The glossary includes:
• Ghost; Ghostly: from Old English gāst (German, Geist) Spirit; spiritual. e.g. " ... together with ghostly counsel and advice."
• Militant: the Church on Earth, those still "fighting the good fight of faith" (from the Latin militans) as opposed to the Church Triumphant in Heaven. e.g. "Let us pray for the whole state of Christ's Church militant here in earth."
• Quick, quicken: living; to make alive, e.g. "the quick and the dead."
• Suffer: to endure, tolerate or allow, as in "Suffer the little children to come unto me."

Next Time
I probably need to take another tentative step into the 21st century and get an e-reader.
Especially now that my son is planning to e-publish, it only makes sense.
The truth is, I would prefer a Nook because, from what I understand, with the Nook you get page numbers read but with the Kindle you only get percentage read. I'm too old school to think in terms of percentage. I want page numbers. Maybe the Kindle will figure out how to add this as a feature or something at some point.
Of course, with that said, I am also tempted to buy myself something altogether different.
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes collection.
Or maybe The Complete Far Side collection.
So basically I'm going comic geek or techy geek. Either way, I'm a geek.
Just keep clicking, please, because I'm still jobless and I deserve treats like these.
4 comments:
Well my "Geeky Girl" not like the ones I wrote about a few days ago at all...*looks up and whistles innocently* I clicked on these so you are a few steps closer to getting which ever ya desire.ReplyDelete
The funny thing is I don't even look at the account so when I do get the email announcing I finally have enough for them to give me a gift card it comes as quite the surprise.
I am too devoted to my "real" books to buy an e-reader, and e-books are more expensive. It would be handy for traveling, but I think that would be about it. Paper forever!ReplyDelete
I have the Complete Far Side. It is indeed a tome. The biggest discount I've seen for it, aside from used books, was with a 40% coupon from Borders last Xmas.
Rossana, I guess I'm more devoted to my son than I am to hard copies of books or did you not notice why I want to buy an e-reader? Short of filling it up with free classics, I doubt I'll be putting anything else on it. But I would like a copy of his book and if he only e-publishes then I'm willing to buy an e-reader.ReplyDelete

Across Colorado, local leaders have forged alliances, strengthening local health systems through collaborative strategies, breaking down silos to accelerate change. Each is different, but all share a common goal: Increased access to care and improved population health. Since mid-2012 the Colorado Coalition for the Medically Underserved has convened these alliances through the Colorado Network of Health Alliances.[1]
These collaborative efforts reduce local duplication of services and increase the long-term sustainability of projects to improve community health. They also promote health equity, working to reduce disparities in access to and quality of health care.
The work aligns with RMHP's approach as a Regional Accountability Entity (RAE). We want all organizations in our community to collaborate more closely. No single entity can achieve broad-based transformation on its own.
Colorado's health alliances are part of many statewide reform initiatives that play out at the community level. During the rollout of the Affordable Care Act, many alliances became enrollment sites for Connect for Health Colorado. Some are RAE contractors.
These efforts align with what's going on elsewhere in the state. For example, The Colorado Health Foundation launched BC3 — for "Better Care, Better Costs, Better Colorado." It focuses on community-level collaboration to address health care costs through delivery system and payment reform. This "collective impact" approach involves a shared commitment among partners to the same goals and outcomes and a commitment to align their work in order to achieve the greatest collective success.
Our goal at RMHP is to coordinate with these alliances--and other stakeholders—as we partner to create an accountable community that empowers patients to take charge of their health. Learn more about the alliances by clicking on the links for each community health alliance.

Until Nintendo enters the mobile phone market, this NES controller turned Nokia cell phone will have to satiate the Nintendophiles of the world. Sam Garfield took the fanboy-pleasing task of completely stripping out an old-school NES controller and molding his Nokia 3200 to fit inside.
Quote: "The buttons were a special challenge. Each button has to be dremeled down so it fits flush inside the controller case. This involves cutting the red buttons off at the tab, and cutting the entire back off the directional buttons (the biggest pain of the whole project)."Sam posted the project on DIY Happy, so naturally there is a lengthy, though not very descriptive narrative about how to actually perform this mod yourself.
Or if you just want to check out the rough-looking (as Sam calls it, "version 1.0") NES phone, there's a video of it as well.

Vaccinia virus (VACV or VV) is a large, complex, enveloped virus belonging to the poxvirus family.[2] It has a linear, double-stranded DNA genome approximately 190 kbp in length, which encodes approximately 250 genes. The dimensions of the virion are roughly 360 × 270 × 250 nm, with a mass of approximately 5–10 fg.[3]

|Vaccinia virus
Smallpox was the first disease to be widely prevented by vaccination, due to pioneering work by the English physician and scientist Edward Jenner, in the eighteenth century, using cowpox virus. Vaccinia virus is the active constituent of the vaccine that eradicated smallpox, making it the first human disease to be eradicated. This endeavour was carried out by the World Health Organization under the Smallpox Eradication Program. Following the eradication of smallpox, scientists study vaccinia virus to use as a tool for delivering genes into biological tissues (gene therapy and genetic engineering) and because of concerns about smallpox being used as an agent for bioterrorism.
Classification of vaccinia infectionsEdit
In addition to the morbidity of uncomplicated primary vaccination, transfer of infection to other sites by scratching, and post vaccinial encephalitis, other complications of vaccinia infections may be divided into the following types:[4]:391
- Generalized vaccinia
- Eczema vaccinatum
- Progressive vaccinia (vaccinia gangrenosum, vaccinia necrosum)
- Roseola vaccinia
Vaccinia virus is closely related to the virus that causes cowpox; historically the two were often considered to be one and the same.[5] The precise origin of vaccinia virus is unknown due to the lack of record-keeping, as the virus was repeatedly cultivated and passaged in research laboratories for many decades.[6] The most common notion is that vaccinia virus, cowpox virus, and variola virus (the causative agent of smallpox) were all derived from a common ancestral virus. There is also speculation that vaccinia virus was originally isolated from horses,[5] and analysis of DNA from an early (1902) sample of smallpox vaccine showed that it was 99.7% similar to horsepox virus.[7]
Poxviruses are unique among DNA viruses because they replicate only in the cytoplasm of the host cell, outside of the nucleus.[8] Therefore, the large genome is required for encoding various enzymes and proteins involved in viral DNA replication and gene transcription. During its replication cycle, VV produces four infectious forms which differ in their outer membranes: intracellular mature virion (IMV), the intracellular enveloped virion (IEV), the cell-associated enveloped virion (CEV) and the extracellular enveloped virion (EEV).[9] Although the issue remains contentious, the prevailing view is that the IMV consists of a single lipoprotein membrane, while the CEV and EEV are both surrounded by two membrane layers and the IEV has three envelopes. The IMV is the most abundant infectious form and is thought to be responsible for spread between hosts. On the other hand, the CEV is believed to play a role in cell-to-cell spread and the EEV is thought to be important for long range dissemination within the host organism.
Multiplicity reactivationEdit
Vaccinia virus is able to undergo multiplicity reactivation (MR).[10] MR is the process by which two, or more, virus genomes containing otherwise lethal damage interact within an infected cell to form a viable virus genome. Abel[10] found that vaccinia viruses exposed to doses of UV light sufficient to prevent progeny formation when single virus particles infected host chick embryo cells, could still produce viable progeny viruses when host cells were infected by two or more of these inactivated viruses; that is, MR could occur. Kim and Sharp demonstrated MR of vaccinia virus after treatment with UV-light,[11] nitrogen mustard,[12] and X-rays or gamma rays.[13] Michod et al.[14] reviewed numerous examples of MR in different viruses, and suggested that MR is a common form of sexual interaction in viruses that provides the advantage of recombinational repair of genome damages.
Host resistanceEdit
Vaccinia contains within its genome genes for several proteins that give the virus resistance to interferons:
- K3L (P18378) is a protein with homology to the protein eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2alpha). K3L protein inhibits the action of PKR, an activator of interferons.[15]
- E3L (P21605) is another protein encoded by Vaccinia. E3L also inhibits PKR activation; and is also able to bind to double stranded RNA.[15]
Use as a vaccineEdit
A Vaccinia virus infection is very mild and is typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, but it may cause a mild rash and fever. Immune responses generated from a Vaccinia virus infection protects the person against a lethal smallpox infection. For this reason, Vaccinia virus was, and is still being used as a live-virus vaccine against smallpox. Unlike vaccines that use weakened forms of the virus being vaccinated against, the Vaccinia virus vaccine cannot cause a smallpox infection because it does not contain the smallpox virus. However, certain complications and/or vaccine adverse effects occasionally arise. The chance of this happening is significantly increased in people who are immunocompromised. Approximately one in one million individuals will develop a fatal response to the vaccination.
Currently, the vaccine is only administered to health care workers or research personnel who have a high risk of contracting the variola virus, and to the military personnel of the United States. Due to the threat of smallpox bioterrorism, there is a possibility the vaccine may have to be widely administered again in the future. Therefore, scientists are currently developing novel vaccine strategies against smallpox which are safer and much faster to deploy during a bioterrorism event.
On September 1, 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensed a new vaccine ACAM2000 against smallpox which can be produced quickly upon need. Manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stockpiled 192.5 million doses of the new vaccine (see list of common strains below).[16]
A new smallpox vaccine, Imvanex, which is based on a modified strain of vaccinia; Modified vaccinia Ankara was approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2013.[17]
Vaccinia is also used in recombinant vaccines, as a vector for expression of foreign genes within a host, in order to generate an immune response. Other poxviruses are also used as live recombinant vaccines.[18]
The original vaccine for smallpox, and the origin of the idea of vaccination, was Cowpox, described by Edward Jenner in 1798. The Latin term used for Cowpox was Variolae vaccinae, Jenner's own translation of "smallpox of the cow". That term lent its name to the whole idea of vaccination.[19] When it was realized that the virus used in smallpox vaccination was not, or was no longer, the same as cowpox virus, the name 'vaccinia' was used for the virus in smallpox vaccine. (See OED.) Vaccine potency and efficacy prior to the invention of refrigerated methods of transportation was unreliable. The vaccine would be rendered impotent by heat and sunlight, and the method of drying samples on quills and shipping them to countries in need often resulted in an inactive vaccine. Another method employed was the "arm to arm" method. This involved vaccinating an individual then transferring it to another as soon as the infectious pustule forms, then to another, etc. This method was used as a form of living transportation of the vaccine, and usually employed orphans as carriers. However, this method was problematic due to the possibility of spreading other blood diseases, such as hepatitis and syphilis. As was the case in 1861, when 41 Italian children contracted syphilis after being vaccinated by the "arm to arm" method.[20]
In 1913, E. Steinhardt, C. Israeli, and R. A. Lambert grew vaccinia virus in fragments of pig corneal tissue culture.[21]
In 1939 Allan Watt Downie showed that the smallpox vaccines being used in the 20th century and cowpox virus were not the same, but were immunologically related.[22][23]
Recent casesEdit
In March 2007, a 2-year-old Indiana boy and his mother contracted a life-threatening vaccinia infection from the boy's father.[24] The boy developed the telltale rash over 80 percent of his body after coming into close contact with his father, who was vaccinated for smallpox before being deployed overseas by the United States Army. The United States military resumed smallpox vaccinations in 2002. The child acquired the infection due to eczema, which is a known risk factor for vaccinia infection. The boy was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, cidofovir, and Tecovirimat (ST-246), a (then) experimental drug developed by SIGA Technologies.[25] On April 19, 2007, he was sent home with no after effects except for possible scarring of the skin.[24]
In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that a woman in Washington had contracted vaccinia virus infection after digital vaginal contact with her boyfriend, a military member who had recently been vaccinated for smallpox. The woman had a history of childhood eczema, but she had not been symptomatic as an adult. The CDC indicated that it was aware of four similar cases in the preceding 12 months of vaccinia infection after sexual contact with a recent military vaccinee.[26] Further cases—also in patients with a history of eczema—occurred in 2012.[27]
Common strainsEdit
This is a list of some of the well-characterized vaccinia strains used for research and vaccination.[citation needed]
- Lister (also known as Elstree): the English vaccine strain used by Leslie Collier to develop heat stable vaccine in powdered form. Used as the basis for vaccine production during the World Health Organization Smallpox Eradication Campaign (SEC)
- Dryvax (also known as "Wyeth"): the vaccine strain previously used in the United States, produced by Wyeth. Used in the SEC, it was replaced in 2008 [28] by ACAM2000 (see below), produced by Acambis. It was produced as preparations of calf lymph which was freeze-dried and treated with antibiotics.
- EM63; Russian strain used in the SEC
- ACAM2000: The current strain in use in the USA, produced by Acambis. ACAM2000 was derived from a clone of a Dryvax virus by plaque purification. It is produced in cultures of Vero cells.
- Modified vaccinia Ankara (also known as MVA): a highly attenuated (not virulent) strain created by passaging vaccinia virus several hundred times in chicken embryo fibroblasts. Unlike some other vaccinia strains it does not make immunodeficient mice sick and therefore may be safer to use in humans who have weaker immune systems due to being very young, very old, having HIV/AIDS, etc.
- LC16m8: an attenuated strain developed and currently used in Japan
- CV-1: an attenuated strain developed in the United States and used there in the late 1960s- 1970s
- Western Reserve
- Copenhagen
- Connaught Laboratories (Canada)

|can't find queries when they are one per line in target file
|Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:28:19 GMT
Hi, I am using 3.4.0 and just discovered a weird issue. I have a set of simple English one-word queries and two target files that I want to search. One has all these queries in one line, i.e. something like this Query1 Query2 Query3 Query4 The other has them one per line, i.e. Query1 Query2 Query3 Query4 The 1st test was to index only the 1st target file and then iterate over all queries. The 2nd test was the same but with the 2nd file. In the first test, I found all the queries, as expected. In the second one, I found none! More specifically, the block of code String qStr = "Query1"; // or "Query2" or ... QueryParser parser = ...; IndexSearcher searcher = ...; Query query = parser.parse(qStr); TopDocs results = searcher.search(query, Integer.MAX_VALUE); ScoreDoc[] hits = results.scoreDocs; returned no hits for the 2nd test. Do I have to index the file differently? Or handle the queries differently? Or something else? Thanks much, Ilya

20 Years Ago
June 1998 (164 pages, $3.50): The ZL1 might've been HRM's first black-and-white cover car since Bob Petersen upgraded to color printing (Apr. 1951). The photo itself must've been our oldest cover shot ever. Dickie Harrell was captured in action by hungry freelancer Ro McGonegal 29 years earlier, in 1969, on assignment from Super Stock & Drag Illustrated. "Mr. Chevrolet" was one of two test drivers that winter day in Kansas City; the other was young McGonegal, who had since risen through the publishing ranks to become HOT ROD's editor. Ro shared some previously unpublished photos and described sliding to an 11.89 at 119.06 on KCIR's cold asphalt (versus Harrell's 11.64/122.15 best). The bottom image, another golden-oldie outtake, came from National Truck-In 1975.
40 Years Ago
June 1978 (132 pages, $1.25): Sometimes a magazine gets too far out ahead of a trend and tanks, as when we wrongly assumed that the modified, new-model trucks so popular here at home would set fire to newsstands elsewhere. Neither the mugs and bodies of actual staff members nor that Subaru (!) helped move magazines, despite Photo Editor Bob McClurg's postcard-perfect composition at Torrey Pines (California) State Beach. Current Tech Editor Marlan "Mad Dog" Davis used to be that angry young man leaning against the GMC Diablo. Gray Baskerville held down the Cherokee's tailgate. New Editor Lee Kelley (in diesel Stepside, center) would take the beating for one of the lowest-selling issues of his hot-selling era.
60 Years Ago
June 1958 (92 pages, 35¢): "Undisputed King of the American racing business is the Meyer-Drake Offy," said a five-page cover story combining fascinating company history with current engine tech. Output was estimated at 350 hp on alcohol for a 255ci Indy model. MGM Studios supplied one-each color and B&W inside photo of blonde bombshell Mamie Van Doren ("currently in MGM's High School Confidential") alongside lucky Bill Morse's mild custom to complement Eric Rickman's inside feature.

The sale of the Century
The weather fairies have been kind and Belly's garage sale has been a huge success. This means that she has sold a lot of stuff and has cash to burn, but I reckon the real indicator of success is that she has had a fine time. There were a number of her friends who rallied to help and I can see how that would increase the levity factor. But perhaps the real reason for her success is that in at least this instance she is nothing like her mother.
I have attempted this sort of interaction with the locals twice and only 2 times have I needed to be restrained from hitting someone with an ugly chipped jug or similar bit of tat, and only a few times have I told complete strangers to fuck off out of my place, because I would far rather give whatever it is they were wanting to a charity shop or dump it, than sell it to them for any amount of cash. The first time I cannot recall if any money was made and the second time amazing money was made. Both times though I would clearly have been better off if Belly had taken charge.
There is something about people at a garage sale, or a demolition sale, that give me the irrits. They all want something for nothing. And I get it, if I don't want then why can't I just give it to them, well because I paid for it in the first place that's why, and just cos I don't want it anymore that doesn't make it worthless. I mean I don't want the Mona Lisa , but I wouldn't give it away at a garage sale.
They all had enough of a good time to have decided to front up again tomorrow for one final fling before the leftovers get taken off to the charity shop. I do very much hope that she rewards herself with a nice bottle of wine and a takeaway tonight. She deserves at least that much for being a wonder bug, polite thing under circumstances that make me overflow with rudeness and bile.

Youth Changemaker: Peter Petrin
"Peter has an incredible record of success both engaging with government himself and engaging others in the work of government. He truly understands what political power looks like for young people and works to build political power everyday with astonishing success."
-The Campaign for a Presidential Youth Council
Pete Petrin has devoted his college career to enhancing the participation of young people in government. His passionate commitment to this cause and his visionary approach to pursuing inspire many of his friends and peers.
Pete served for three years as a Generation Citizen Democracy Coach, a volunteer tasked with entering a local classroom and leading a group of students through a political action project. Pete did this work in some of the most challenging urban schools in Boston and faced students who were extremely pessimistic about their ability to effect change. Several of his students , he says, "felt like people in politics don't want to listen to youth because 'we're just kids.'"
Nonetheless, Pete was able to lead his students to action. His most recent group of students, for example, identified that substance abuse is a big problem in their community and a major source of local crime; they have been lobbying their Congressmen in support of a bill that would increase substance abuse rehabilitation services for juvenile offenders.
While each of Pete's projects empowered local students, Pete wanted to exponentially increase the impact he could have in local classrooms.
So he turned to policy. Pete became Chapter Director of Generation Citizen at Northeastern University. He grew the chapter from three Democracy Coaches to 25 and now 60. He institutionalized Generation Citizen by incorporating it into the Northeastern's service-learning program and established it as a thought-leader on campus; it now provides training on political advocacy to other student organizations. Each year, the chapter provides nearly 2,000 students across Boston with training on effective political action.
As Pete was working to enhance the voices of local young people in government, he noticed that young people his own age were severely disenfranchised. Voter turnout among college students in Boston is very low, even though many city policies are to the significant detriment of college students—especially in housing and public transit. Resolving to change this, Pete became Student Body President of Northeastern University.
In this role, Pete was able to enhance student voice in Northeastern administrative decisions: he successfully advocated for expanding wireless access, improving campus sustainability, campus library and student life space renovations, upgrading technology used for residential safety and making sure student input was considered in university expansion and budgeting plans.
Pete also represented Northeastern students in the nation's capitol this past spring, lobbying Congressmen for increased student financial aid and participating in a forum at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with national business leaders to discuss mutual interest in a successful higher education system.
More atypically for his role, however, Pete also enhances the college student voice in the city at large. He organized a voter registration drive in 2012 alongside fellow student leaders, school administrators, and community members that registered over 1,000 previously unregistered NU students. He also collaborated on a multi-campus initiative, partnering with BU, BC, UMass Boston and several other local colleges, to lobby for improvements to Boston's public transit system. This joint movement has met several times with state Congressmen and is in the process of finally securing college student voice in issues of public transit in Boston.
Pete graduated from Northeastern University in May 2013 and is currently in the Mississippi Delta training to teach high school mathematics through the national service program Teach for America.
"The culture of decision-making in today's democracy centers around satisfying the needs and problems of the present, even when that requires to mortgage our nation's future through immutable policies and national debt," says Pete. "Youth are equal stakeholders in the success of our democracy and the ideas that they bring to the table are molded from an underrepresented perspective of having our national future in mind. We cannot make decisions for the next generation if we want our nation to continue to prosper; we must make decisions with them."
"It's a thrill and an honor to be recognized as a Top 24 Under 24 Youth Changemaker, especially by an initiative working relentlessly to give a voice to those who need to be heard in our democracy," Pete continues. "I've had the incredibly opportunity to work with brilliant Boston youth and students with great capacity to be agents of change in their community, and we owe it to our democracy to make sure those voices are sought after by our decision-makers. This recognition affirms that value for me, and it's humbling to share this honor with so many forces for change and the empowerment of the next American generation."
This profile is one of the Top 24 Under 24 Youth Changemakers, a series hosted by SparkAction and the Campaign for a Presidential Youth Council to recognize young changemakers influencing policy and practice at the local, state and national levels.
The members of the youth-led Campaign chose the 24 youth who are featured in this series, from entries submitted by peers and mentors. Read about the selection process.
