The nuclear pore complex (NPC) both mediates exchange of proteins and RNA between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and physically interacts with chromatin to regulate transcription. In this issue of JCB, Kumar et al. (2023. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202207060) provide new insight into the molecular basis for NPC-mediated epigenetic silencing through loading of the replication processivity factor PCNA.
The nuclear envelope separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm, compartmentalizing the genome from the rest of the cell. Exchange of proteins and RNAs between these compartments is mediated by the nuclear pore complex (NPC). The NPC is a massive molecular assembly made up of multiple copies of ∼30 different individual polypeptides and ranging in size from 50 to 100 megadaltons in different organisms (1, 2). Diffusion through the pore is inhibited by unstructured phenylalanine-glycine-rich domains that fill the volume of the channel, and transit is facilitated by transport factors that bind to these unstructured repeats. Passage of cargo-bound transport factors through this selective filter and regulation of cargo binding by a gradient of Ran-GTP between the cytoplasm (low) and nucleus (high) leads to directed movement into and out of the nucleus (3).
The NPC also serves other functions. In budding yeast, flies, worms, and mammals, NPCs physically interact with chromatin and impact transcription, chromatin structure, and DNA repair (4). Work in budding yeast suggests that several distinct mechanisms mediate interaction of chromatin with the NPC; while interaction of active genes with the NPC requires components of the nucleoplasmic basket, interaction of telomeres with the NPC requires a core channel protein, Nup170. These interactions have different effects, as well. Whereas interaction of active genes with the NPC stimulates transcription, interaction of telomeres promotes transcriptional silencing (5). Similar effects have been observed in flies and mammals. However, the precise molecular mechanisms that mediate these effects have been unclear.
A paper in this issue of JCB employs sophisticated genomic, proteomic, and biochemical methods to provide new insight into how Nup170 promotes transcriptional silencing by regulating loading of a replication factor called proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA; 6). PCNA is an essential ring-shaped structure that associates with replication forks and facilitates processivity of DNA polymerase (7). PCNA loading and unloading is regulated by several AAA+ ATPase complexes.
To explore the molecular basis for Nup170-stimulated transcriptional silencing, the authors employed a multi-pronged global approach. Comparing the proteins that co-purified with Nup170 with genes that show genetic interactions with NUP170 and transcriptome profiles from null mutants that resembled nup170∆ identified Ctf18-RFC, a PCNA loading complex. Ctf18 had previously been implicated in telomere localization to the periphery (8). Ctf18-RFC co-purified with Nup170 and loss of either Nup170 or Ctf18 disrupted silencing of sub-telomeric genes.
Using a split-GFP imaging system, Ctf18 was found to interact with Nup170 at the nuclear periphery. Ctf18 failed to reconstitute GFP with another nuclear pore protein (Nup49), highlighting the specificity of this interaction. This likely represents interaction of the NPC with replication forks since it peaked during DNA replication.
Because of their size and complexity, it has long been suggested that NPCs of different types, with distinct protein composition, may exist. Indeed, recent work has demonstrated that budding yeast cells possess (at least) three distinct types of NPCs: those without a basket, those with a basket, and those having a double basket (9). Which of these mediates the effect on gene silencing? To address this question, the authors tested for co-purification and colocalization of Ctf18 with basket proteins and found that Ctf18 neither co-localizes nor co-purifies with basket proteins. This suggests that NPCs lacking baskets interact with Ctf18-RFC to facilitate silencing of telomeres (Fig. 1).
Does interaction with Nup170 enhance the function of Ctf18-RFC in PCNA loading? To answer this question, the authors measured the association of PCNA with replication forks genome-wide. Loss of Nup170 led to a global decrease in PCNA loading. This suggests that the interaction of Ctf18-RFC with the NPC stimulates its function as a loader of PCNA (6).
Is the decrease in PCNA observed in strains lacking Nup170 responsible for the loss of telomeric silencing? To address this question, the authors exploited a mutation in a PCNA unloading factor. Mutants lacking this factor have a higher concentration of PCNA on chromatin. If the level of PCNA is the critical factor controlling telomeric silencing, then combining a mutation that reduces it with a mutation that enhances it might lead to recovery of telomeric silencing. Indeed, combining the loss of Nup170 with the loss of the PCNA unloading factor resulted in normal transcriptional silencing of sub-telomeric genes. Therefore, increasing PCNA levels on chromatin by inactivation of an unloading factor is sufficient to bypass the requirement for NPC-stimulated loading of PCNA for maintaining telomeric silencing.
PCNA has been suggested to promote silencing of chromatin by facilitating re-incorporation of histones nearby during DNA replication (10). Silencing of sub-telomeres and the mating type loci is epigenetically inherited by a read-write mechanism. Unacetylated nucleosomes within silent loci are preferentially re-introduced at these loci following DNA replication. Unacetylated nucleosomes are "read" by the silencing factor Sir3, which facilitates the spreading and re-establishment of silencing through recruitment of the histone deacetylase complex Sir2/Sir4 (i.e., the writers). The reincorporation of unacetylated nucleosomes is facilitated by histone chaperones that physically interact with PCNA during DNA replication (11). This suggests a model for the function of NPC-stimulated loading of PCNA in silencing: increasing PCNA on replication forks increases the concentration of histone chaperones at the replication fork, which enhances the efficiency of the local reincorporation of nucleosomes.
If this model were correct, then combining mutations in the histone chaperones with loss of Nup170 should enhance the silencing defects associated with either. However, when the authors combined mutations in a critical histone chaperone CAF-1 with loss of Nup170, they observed a more profound loss of telomeric silencing. This indicates that the histone chaperone and Nup170 contribute in parallel to silencing and suggests that PCNA levels on chromatin alone is playing an important role in silencing, independent of the recruitment of chaperones.
This paper also raises several fascinating questions that will drive future work in this field. For example, how does Nup170 interact with specific chromosomal loci? Although the transcriptional effects of inactivation of Nup170 are most obvious at telomeres, the protein physically interacts with sites throughout the genome (5). Upon loss of Nup170, PCNA levels decrease genome-wide, rather than only at telomeres, which suggests that Nup170 has a general role in loading PCNA. While the interaction of Nup170 with telomeres requires the Sir4 silencing factor, the interactions with chromosome arms does not. The telomeres and chromosome arms may have distinct mechanisms of interaction with Nup170 or a unifying mechanism that is regulated by factors such as Sir4.
Nup170 at NPCs lacking baskets interacts with Ctf18-RFC. This raises the possibility that distinct NPCs are either stable or interchanging. Recent work has shown that formation of the basket requires ongoing export of mRNAs, suggesting that baskets can be assembled or lost over time (12). But the dynamics of NPC interconversion is not well documented. If NPC subtypes interchange, this could serve to regulate chromatin tethering interactions that are subtype specific. If NPC subtypes are stable and do not readily interchange, individual NPCs could serve as stable functional sites on the nuclear envelope.
Future work will continue to expand our understanding of the functions of the NPC in regulating eukaryotic genomes. Given the complexity and diversity of this structure and its interactions with chromatin, such work will certainly reveal additional ways that this cellular landmark serves as a platform for myriad regulatory functions.

Although not as daunting as purchasing a vacation home, the process of furnishing your rental can still be intimidating to start. Thankfully, having a roadmap of where to start and finish helps to organize and simplify the process.
Choosing the right furniture is important, but remember – furniture can always be changed! Try your best to furnish wisely but also keep in mind that any bad seating arrangements or table choices can be easily amended.
As a first step, you should write down all the furnishings that you already own – unless you are starting out entirely from scratch, of course! Then, establish your budget. Your budget should cover all essential items for the home and leave a buffer for bonus items.
Next, outline all furniture and essential items which you will need to purchase to adequately outfit your accommodation for future guests. Think of this as your "Need-To-Have" list, items like beds, couches, sheets, pillows, pots and pans, cutlery, chairs, glasses, small appliances, tables, lamps, TVs, etc.
Finally, make a list of furniture and decor that you would like to buy as an added bonus as soon as the basics are covered – this is your "Want-To-Have" list. Treat this as an ongoing wish list that you maintain and check off over time or as quickly as your budget allows. This list might contain items like pool loungers, accent chairs, rugs, wall art, etc.
Who are you designing and furnishing this space for and who (ideally), are you trying to attract as a guest to stay at your rental property?
Establishing who your target market is from the outset will make your furnishing decisions that much easier. Depending on the size and layout of your property, it may be a suitable destination for families with young children and in that case, it would be useful to choose short-term rental furniture that is kid-friendly and highly resilient.If your property is a smaller, cozier abode, you may try to market it as a romantic retreat for honeymooners and other couples and should furnish it appropriately (for example, a large bed, nice sheets, a table for two, two lounge chairs on a balcony to take in the sunset, etc.).
No matter the demographic you identify as your target, you'll want to keep them top of mind throughout the entire process of furnishing your property as it should be the deciding factor when making purchasing decisions. After all, what use is a 10-seater dining table if your rental only sleeps four and doesn't allow any additional visitors?
Start coming up with ideas for the overall look and style you wish to achieve at your vacation rental.
The internet is full of interior design ideas to make you swoon – especially on social media sites like Instagram and Pinterest. Pop into local home and furniture stores, browse interior design magazines, and follow design studios on social media and start saving, pinning, or favoriting all the images that can serve as inspiration.
Pro Tip: Check out what your competitors' properties look like on social media and make it your goal to ensure your rental looks even better!
The personality of your vacation rental goes hand in hand with your own taste, the property location, and the budget you have. Deciding on a central theme (or themes) is a good idea, but remember you want your property to appeal to a wide range of guests so try to focus on return on investment (ROI).
Favor neutral color schemes over headache-inducing ones and keep ornaments and trinkets to a minimum.
A lot of vacation rental owners decide to reflect some elements of their locale in their property decoration. For example, blue hues and seaside-inspired décor for those beachfront homes, and rustic wood touches with thick, knitted blankets for a mountain lodge or cabin.
Take a stroll around your area to find inspiration for the theme of your own vacation home furniture and brainstorm creative ideas for decorating the interior.
In general, furniture in a vacation rental will wear more quickly than in a regular home due to the stream of incoming visitors. Some items such as mattresses, are easier and cheaper to protect than others.
For large and important furniture in high-traffic areas more at risk for accidental damage or wear and tear from guests (such as dining tables, sofas, etc.), investing in practical, durable furniture is a wise move that will save you money long term.
It may not strike you as the most creative part of furnishing your home, but storage is an important factor to take into consideration for any vacation rental.
In particular, if guests traveling to your location are likely to stay for a week or longer, be sure to provide ample closet, drawer, or clothes rail space to enable them to unpack and feel completely at home. Even the most minimalist rentals don't have an excuse – there are many stylish options that can also serve as a design feature and help make the room feel full.
Whether it's indoor or outdoor, bedroom or living room, bright or mellow – the lighting choices in your vacation rental have a huge effect on how guests perceive the space and how they enjoy it.
Lighting can serve as your secret weapon to create an illusion of spaciousness, but you can also play with different fixtures such as hanging bulbs, table lamps, and spotlights to illuminate each area of your home.
What's more, it's worth investing in energy-efficient lighting solutions such as LED bulbs as these will last longer and are more eco-friendly. They will also help avoid any mishaps such as an essential bathroom bulb burning out in the middle of a Saturday night!
We all know that stores such as IKEA and Pottery Barn are great for finding everyday items, but to give your rental that unique touch that none of your competitors will have it's smart to try to source unique items.
Antique markets and thrift stores can be great sources of furniture and decorations that you can mix and match with store-bought items to build your signature style.
While cramming every surface full of objects and souvenirs may be how you like to decorate your own house, for a guest on vacation, it can soon feel overwhelming and cluttered (plus more stuff = more stuff at risk for breaking and requiring replacement, which can get costly). Minimalism is a trend with staying power for a reason as it makes the space feel tidy and calm.

THR reports that a California federal judge dismissed the case from Justin and Jeremiah Raisen, who claimed they co-wrote the song for the flute queen in early 2017, which at the time went by the name "Healthy." The judge granted Lizzo's motion to dismiss the brothers' countersuit, stating that "joint author of one copyrightable work does not automatically gain ownership of a derivative work." Last October, Lizzo addressed the brothers' allegation for the first and only time, stating that there was "no one in the room" with her when she wrote the song except "me, Ricky Reed, and my tears." Lizzo proceeded to give "Truth Hurts" songwriting credit to Twitter user @MinaLioness, who coined the phrase "I just took a DNA test, turns out, I'm 100 percent that bitch," on social media. "The creator of the tweet is the person I am sharing my success with, not these men," Lizzo wrote. "Period."

Here's a question from our reader, Martina:
I have a table that contains date values. For reporting purposes, i would like to transform those dates into a custom text string which includes the date, month and year, which i would like to use when creating tables and charts in my report. Any ideas are appreciated here.
Create a text column from a date in Power BI
Define date values
You most probably have a date column, but if not, we will start by creating a simple table and populate it with random dates.
- In the Power BI Data view, hit the New Table button.
- In your Formula bar type the following DAX statement that will generate a table containing all dates during the first two weeks of February 2024.
Dates = CALENDAR (DATE (2024,2,1), DATE(2024,2,14))
- Next, rename the Dates column, by clicking its head, hit Rename and change the name to Full Date.
- Note that a table named Dates was created and is available in the Data pane at the right hand side of your Data View tab.
Transform dates to text string with DAX
We will use the FORMAT function to create a new column consisting of the format DD MMMM YYYY.
- In the Data View, hit New Column.
- Then type the following DAX statement into your formula tab and hit Enter.
Date Text = FORMAT('Dates'[Full Date],"D of MMMM YYYY")
- This will create the Date Text column that contains the custom date format that you specified in your DAX formula:
Calculate the Month-Year value from a date column
Next case we will touch upon is to calculate the MM-YYYY combination our of standard timestamp.
- Again, in your Power BI Data view, hit New Column.
- Then type of following DAX formula:
Month Year = FORMAT('Dates'[Full Date],"MM-YYYY")
- A column that combines the Month – Year value will be created.
- Last step, save your Power BI report.
How to change a year column display to an alternative format such as YY or mmYYYY?
From the Data, Table and Model view you can modify your year format right from the Columns Tools tab. For example:
Short Year = FORMAT (Dates_tutorial[Date],"YY")
How adding a year column affect performance of my model?
From previous experience, adding custom calculated columns affects query loading and performance of large datasets. In case that your dataset is large, make sure to create additional date columns right in your SQL database, Excel spreadsheet or other relevant sources.

Month 2, Turn 2735
I made it to Fort Hold safe and sound and my, the winds are already settling in for a biting winter. It's jarring, going from warmth to the cold. I Imagine I'll wind up sick with the sudden weather change but what can be done? Send some of that sunshine my way.
I will write again after I get settled in, maybe I can send some treats next time, Fort Hold has enough gathers to stockpile them…
Dear Ava,
At least you're in the right place if you do get sick from the cold — but I really hope you don't! Make sure you dress warmly, especially if you go to all those winter gathers.
I had to let out Qil's straps again. I'm almost afraid to keep working on his first permanent set. He's still growing, and he's so picky. His lordship will have to wait for something fancy until I get a real job into a wing.
(a few blots of ink dot the page, as if the author held the pen in mid-air, mid-thought)
Good luck with your training,
I'll have to let out my straps too if I am here too long. I forget how much they feed us here. Unless he somehow develops the ability to manipulate time, he will just have to wait.
Do you know which wing you might be in, and how are you setting into your weyr? It was such an adorable little spot, I hope Qil likes it well enough too. I feel like I will be forever bunking with one or more.
Training has been going well, I've been allowed to start observing more complicated surgeries as well as work on a few more myself. I assisted in the removal of a gallbladder the otherday that might as well have been a fire stone sac. They are healing well though and it seems no issues with the bile ducts. They will just have to stay away from fried onions.
Not me though.
Miss you, I think I will be home in the spring for a visit ♥
P.S. OH! I forgot, attached is a little weyr warming gift.
(A tiny little glass dragon is carefully wrapped and harnessed to Rukaban, separate from the letter)
Dear Ava,
Where did you find this?! Qil and I love it! It's going to look great in our new home, thank you so much!
Our weyr cottage is really about as close to perfect as it gets, I think! Sure, there's that one little leak in the roof that I discovered when it rained the other night and the way the door squeaks because no one has used it in so long, but it's totally ours. We're still mostly sleeping in the barracks, but I'm trying to get it livable when I'm not studying. Qil likes the new space without all of his siblings crowded nearby, but I bet he misses them in his own way
I don't know yet where we'll end up. We're supposed to start shadowing some riders in the next few sevens to give us something to think about.
That surgery of yours sounds really, uh, gross, but it's good that you're getting to try new things. Should we all stop eating fried onions so we don't end up there? Or onions at all?
Qil and I should be able to go between together by the fall. Maybe we can try to get permission to help escort you home! Or at least wave at you when we get to between to the hall for the first time.
Stay warm,
Andy (And Qil too!),
Dad is a glasscrafter so I requested it from him after turns end. I'm so glad you both like it!
Hopefully many hands can help get the cottage in shape so you can both settle in. Oh how do you plan to decorate it? Or how would Qil like it decorated? (A little ink smiley face ends the sentence.) I hope you get some time for yourself between classes, cottage crafting and Qil care, you deserve it.
It can be gross sometimes but I really do find the inner workings of the body fascinating. Systems that echo so much in our day to day. I would really like to pick up on my study with the dolphins again, eventually. They can pick up much with their echolocation but I bet it could be refined, or they could be taught to describe things better. Is it granular tumor, a lipoma? How far along is a baby in pregnancy by how it's forming…so many things to do, not enough time.
Gallbladder though, avoid too much fatty food and sugar and you should be fine!
I would love that! If you're able to stop in we can grab lunch or I can show you around. Pop up to Fort even. I know you'd be busy but one can hope.
Oh this has gotten long, sorry! Talk soon
Dear Ava,
Qil says, and I quote: "No chamber could possibly be infinite enough, but this one will do." I don't think there's a weyr large enough for his head, much less the rest of him at this point!
I guess I can sort of see how bodies are interesting, if you squint after two drinks while half-asleep with your eyes burning. Dragon bodies are kind of interesting, sometimes. And weird. And sometimes a little gross. Even when it's your own dragon.
It feels like we've been in training forever, even if we're starting to learn how to actually carry people and stuff, but it feels like we have so far to go. I'm starting to forget what it was like to not be a weyrling. I really hope I don't get held back. I'll never hear the end of it.
Hello from Xanadu,
Dear Andy,
I had a good laugh at that middle of lunch at that, thank you, I needed that. Had a difficult class today and it was sorely needed. Just don't tell Qil I had a laugh at his big headed expense.
That, sounds a lot like a human body. Weird, wonderful and well, kinda gross. I imagine you'll be learning your whole life through, as will I, I seriously doubt you'll be held back. Im not sure Qil would allow it! I Feel like there's always some new or very old procedure or practice they keep throwing at me.
Talk later ♥

Lille deservedly beat PSG at the Parc des Princes on Saturday to stay three points clear of the former Ligue 1 champions. With seven matches to go, could Lille win the trophy this time to put an end to the dominance of Parisians?
The match was a lead decider between the top two teams who shared equal points prematch until Lille proved to be worthy of the number one spot.
Keylor Navas was helpless when the ball from Jonathan Ikone reaches the Canadian striker Jonathan David who fires in a deflected shot from the edge of the box changing the scoreline in favor of Lille.
Paris Saint-Germain has won seven of the last eight Ligue 1 titles, they only finished second behind Monaco in 2017 and this season looked very good for Mauricio Pochettino to win his first title as a manager.
The home team played a game of possession without purpose having three shots on goal after sixteen attempts contrary to Lille who created fewer chances but were more clinical in front of goal.
Pochettino told PSG TV he knew it's going to be difficult,
"We knew and prepared for a tough encounter, until the end and of course we need to keep going and think of other competitions. Champions League is coming up against Bayern and we've got to focus on that."
"I think we deserved at least a shared point or even three. In the end, we lost and of course, we're very disappointed with the outcome. We didn't create enough, Although we created more than them but not enough, and maybe we showed a lack of aggression in the second half. Our dominance is not channeled towards scoring but in the end, time ran out and we lost the game."Pochettino said.

2Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, Moscow
3Plekhanov Russian State Universityof Economics, Moscow
4Ukhta State Technical University, Ukhta
The study analyzes the key obstacles for students' success in the Russian Physical Culture and Sports "Ready for Labour and Defence" (GTO) Complex tests and qualifications for Class V and VI badges. The study was supported by an expert team of 20 people including 3 doctors of science (in pedagogy, medicine and biology), 10 PhDs (6 in pedagogy, 2 in medicine and 2 in biology), plus the Moscow GTO Center specialists, all of them having at least a 10-year service record. Based on the test data and analyses, obstacles for success in the Russian Physical Culture and Sports "Ready for Labour and Defence" (GTO) Complex
tests were grouped as follows: (1) poor functional reserves as verified by the cardio-respiratory system deficiencies, particularly the low endurance rates; (2) poor physical qualities related, among other things, to the overall endurance; (3) non-inclusive set of elective tests excluding the swimming, shooting, skiing and wrestling tests. The study findings were used to produce recommendations on how the academic trainings for the Russian Physical Culture and Sports "Ready for Labour and Defence" (GTO) Complex tests may be improved within the valid Physical Education curriculum.

Who Should Play Tess in HBO's The Last of Us?
The Last of Us is heading to HBO with Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, and Gabriel Luna as Tommy Miller. While I am new to the game and have been learning more/getting ready for my first play-through in preparation for the series, it has made me a little more invested in the other characters that helped make The Last of Us one of the most popular games out there.
For fans of the series, they grew with these characters as they played and even those characters who had brief moments throughout the game left their mark. One of those characters is Tess. The character works with Joel prior to him meeting Ellie and the two clearly share a trust with one another so … who should play her in the upcoming HBO series?
I think that Annie Wersching, who brought Tess to life with her voiceover acting as well as motion capture work, would make a great choice for live-action Tess—something my friend Brandon SanGiovanni agrees with. To be fair, she's a popular suggestion.
Honestly, Annie Wersching. She played Tess in the game and she's brilliant. Obviously it might come down to her chemistry with Pedro but to me, she's the best choice pic.twitter.com/95To4lJfoe
— Liam, still celebrating Everlight ❇ (@thefifthbeegee) May 20, 2021
The suggestions ranged throughout pop culture icons.
Alice Braga
— Robyn 🌹 (@robyn_beeee) May 20, 2021
Sarah Wayne Callies or Daisy Ridley.
— Jordan Hamilton (@BearsFanJordan) May 20, 2021
Judy Greer. Dye her hair black and give her a serious role.
— Dave Elliott (@The_Iceman2288) May 20, 2021
Emily Deschanel maybe? 🤷🏻♂
— DAN (@dankthemanc) May 20, 2021
Betty Gilpin ALL THE WAY
— Tamara Lynn Chambers (@TamaraLChambers) May 20, 2021
Stephanie Beatriz pic.twitter.com/7BExIcWYVq
— David Lesnieski (@themexican734) May 20, 2021
all i see is lena headey here
pic.twitter.com/dwB34WYhVk— janet (@djarinculture) May 20, 2021
My friend Sophie Martin, who I've been talking to about the game, brought up a joke suggestion from the fandom with Laura Bailey, who played Abby in The Last of Us Part II. And also suggested Tatiana Maslany, who I would love to see take on Tess. But as you can see, there is a wide range of actresses that people would love to see play Tess.
My personal favorites are Lena Headey.
And then Stephanie Beatriz.
What's great about Tess in the game is that she's never really questioned about her strength. When we meet her, she rolls up to Joel's apartment to meet with him and the two embark on finding Robert only to have Marlene (who I want to be played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw) ask them to smuggle something out of the city. "Something" is a little vague because it's actually a 14-year-old girl named Ellie who is "infected" with the parasite that is turning those around them into zombie-like beings. But Ellie was bitten three weeks ago and hasn't turned, despite everyone else turning within two days.
So when Tess and Joel try to get her out of the city, Tess is bitten and quickly starts to become infected, proving to herself and Joel that Ellie might just be the key to stopping this entire thing. Her role might not be a huge part of the show, but Tess is important in the game, and having an actress who can show that strength and willpower to get Ellie to those who can help is important, and I think any of these actors can take on Tess and do so beautifully.
I am beyond excited for The Last of Us. After watching the intro to the game and going through a stream of it with my friend, I fell in love with the characters and the world-building because it is, at its core, about humanity and our struggle to survive. And getting to see that kind of story after the last year we had is going to be an emotional ride and I'm ready for it.

Apple has refined and developed Siri since the tech giant bought it from a small startup in 2010. It is improving fast. But while voice-recognition programs will continue to evolve when hearing non-standard speech such as regional accents, a question that neither human nor machine can answer for certain is whether they will need to. People are adapting to virtual assistants, as well as the other way round.
Like some other users, I'm taking a pass on Day One 2. I'm not comfortable with journal data being held on the developer's servers. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but I will only use iCloud sync since I have more trust in Apple than I do in anybody else.
For now, the feature will be opt-in, meaning you'll have to visit the Settings of the Twitter app and, if available, you'll be able to turn on the option. "In the coming weeks", the feature will become opt-out (it'll be on by default) but you'll still be able to turn it off from the Settings.
Rather than focus on the technology used in the chips, the new roadmap will take an approach it describes as "More than Moore." The growth of smartphones and Internet of Things, for example, means that a diverse array of sensors and low power processors are now of great importance to chip companies. The highly integrated chips used in these devices mean that it's desirable to build processors that aren't just logic and cache, but which also include RAM, power regulation, analog components for GPS, cellular, and Wi-Fi radios, or even microelectromechanical components such as gyroscopes and accelerometers.
You can't delete an Apple ID without losing associated purchases.
For a brief moment during development, the first app from Quartz — the four-year-old business news publication owned by The Atlantic — was going to be completely blank when you opened it up. "The whole thing was just notifications," Zach Seward, Quartz's executive editor and VP of product, tells The Verge. "The thought was that this would tell you, like, this is an app meant to be consumed entirely outside the square icon."
In this article I want to talk about negative aspects of the programming community, regarding beginner programmers. This is a touchy topic. I will try to explain both sides to the best of my ability, but I'm not endorsing either side. My only hope is that some readers will gain more empathy for the people they are communicating with, and hopefully use that knowledge to make friendlier communities.
Seminal internet infrastructure provider Akamai has cautioned investors that traffic from its two biggest clients — Apple and Microsoft — will decline in the year ahead, thanks to what chief executive Tom Leighton called their "DIY efforts."
The legislation, introduced by U.S. Reps. Ted Lieu, D-CA, and Blake Farenthold, R-Texas is called the Encrypt Act of 2016, short for Ensuring National Constitutional Rights of Your Private Telecommunications. What it would do, in a nutshell, is preempt state and local government encryption laws. It would make such encryption a federal mandate, which still leaves open the possibility of new national-level laws requiring back doors.
Last night, Burger King announced one the biggest changes to its product lineup since chicken: a hot dog — two different SKUs of hot dogs, to be exact. Yes, we now live in a world in which hotdogs have SKUs, and tech is everything, even our lunch.
The local Burger King here in Singapore has already been selling hot dogs for quite a while. I am not quite impressed, but my daughter loves it.
Singaporeans don't seem to enjoy hot dogs very much. Fast-food restaurants that have hot dogs as one of the main menu items never did survived down here. And even though we have all sort of food from around the world adapted for sale in street markets (pasar malam), hot dogs never made it. So I am surprised Burger King kept the hot dogs on the menu for so long.
Come to think of it, there isn't any good New-York-style pizza in Singapore either, as far as I notice.
Thanks for reading.

A video published on a YouTube channel, website, and Facebook page with more than 484,277 followers claims the video to show "Soldiers and Teddy Afro in an Amazing Video" and that the vocalist had surprised the army with his sudden presence.
By the time this article is published the video is viewed more than 20,900 times on the website and the Facebook post has been shared more than 60 times with 1700 reactions. The video was first published before the Facebook and Website posts on the YouTube channel on September 16 having 1,108 viewers.
However, the video in the Facebook post doesn't show Teddy Afro entertaining cadets at Tolay Military Training Center, and the post is rendered False.
Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF) forces and the Federal Government of Ethiopia have been in active war in Northern Ethiopia Since November 2020. Different local media outlets have been reporting about massive recruitment and training of youth by the Ethiopian National Defence Force in different training centers. Artists and Government officials are often observed paying visits to new cadets at different Army training centers and at war fronts with the supposition of motivating and encouraging the soldiers.
Teddy Afro (Aka Tewodros Kassahun) is a prominent musician with a huge fan base in Ethiopia and Eritrea. "Ethiopia", his 5th album, got topped on the week of May 20, 2017's Billboard World Albums Chart. The claim was circulating in light of this formidable situation for its assertion.
However, HaqCheck looked into the thumbnail of the video and confirmed that it is photoshopped, a creative trick of merging the vocalist's image in the middle of a mass army gathering. Moreover, the video content is made with a slideshow of various pictures of Teddy Afro and the army.
Furthermore, in an effort to ratify the claim, we spoke to Getachew Manguday, the manager of the vocalist. "The claim is totally false. Teddy Afro has never been to Tolay Military Training Center in any scheduled program with the army, he explained.
Therefore, the video circulating around different social media is confirmed to be False.

Blackmore, Tania Anne (2022) What is the role of paramedics in palliative and end of life care? Palliative Medicine, 36 (3). pp. 402-404. ISSN 0269-2163
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Home is the preferred place of care for most palliative patients, and when they reach the end stage of their illness, their preferred place of death. But primary health care provision for this patient group is inconsistent and mostly provided by family, loved ones or residential care staff who feel unconfident in providing such care. These anxious carers often call emergency services for urgent help as they witness the worrying and unexpected symptoms of disease deterioration or dying, thus making paramedics and the ambulance service the patient's first point of contact in primary care. An understanding is needed of the role of paramedics in palliative and end of life care and whether paramedic attendance is appropriate in this patient group.

Q: I wanted to get your take on Apple's switch to Intel. How difficult is the process of migrating apps from platform to platform?Read more at CNET
Chizen: Steve (Jobs) likes to trivialize the process and make it seem easy, but moving the apps over is not that easy...Getting over to MacTel is work. I think in the long run it's going to be great because what the users will get is better performance...and greater value. At Adobe, we tend to optimize for Intel today on the Windows side. The fact that we'll be able to optimize for Intel cross-platform will make it even better for us.

Make Yourself Disappear: Acclaimed Filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul Visits Lenfest
A jungle, at night. From a vantage point far back in the trees, we are watching a woman filming a music video for a romantic pop song with a weirdly catchy samba rhythm. The rest of the frame is the black forest; only the camera and lighting equipment is visible at the edges of the beam of spotlight, which is so bright it washes out the woman's features. She is joined by backup dancers wearing white gloves and capri pants, who move their limbs with a childlike, somnambulant grace; up up; down down. It goes on for four minutes.
This is the opening scene from Worldly Desires (2005) by celebrated filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul, which screened on Sunday April 30, 2023 at the Lenfest Center for the Arts as part of a slate of Weerasethakul's shorts. Born in Bongkok and raised in Khon Kaen, Thailand, Weerasethakul has won every major prize at Cannes, most recently the 2021 Cannes Jury Prize for Memoria, starring Tilda Swinton. As part of the To Transform series of public programming at Lenfest, Weerasethakul joined Film and Media Studies Professor Richard Peña for a post-screening discussion and Q&A.
To watch several of a filmmaker's projects at once is to recognize the language of their cinema. You become attentive to the patterns and ideas that move them. You begin to think with total confidence, as I now do, "Oh that's so Weerasethakul."
Worldly Desires takes place in and around a jungle film set, or possibly two. The music video is being filmed, and also a romantic drama, a couple fleeing through the forest. The film crew is always present, adjusting equipment, fetching water, watching the romance unfold on a monitor; Weerasethakul lingers with them, watching them chatting, joking, smoking, working.
There's an element of silliness, of play, brought out by their presence. He cuts from the dramatic dialogue of the lovers— "We must hurry, if the sun comes up—" to the crew talking about how they should apply to be electricians; "But electricians get paid well. They only hire handsome men."
The presence of a visible camera, the crew as a frame for the scene; it's a motif that recurs across several of these shorts, like The Anthem (2006), Mobile Men (2008), and Footprints (2012). We never lose the awareness that we are watching something that has been made.
Weerasethakul described his approach to shorts as a practice of intuition and sensing. "Most of the time I spend on short films, I spend on set with other people…just to be there, and then you sense the rhythm…"It's like building a life, you're making a life. It needs its own heartbeat. You need to find that—what is the heartbeat to give to this thing?"
He was soft spoken, quietly funny, honest, and thoughtful. If he didn't remember something, he said so. He would make a gentle, contemplative humming sound each time he concluded a point, closing his own quotation.
"It's really about not thinking." He said he'd met many students on this trip to the U.S., and often they talked to him about their projects and pre-shoot concepts. "'This film is not going to be like this, it's not going to be like that'—and I said, how do you know?
"Just start. Stop thinking about style. Just be there, listen, and make yourself disappear," he said. "Sketch, or do whatever [you need to do] to understand, to put yourself in the location…What's the weather at the time, what's the mood of the people you work with? Film is living, filmmaking is living."
The beauty of being present, listening, and noticing is all over these films. Weerasethakul watches people's simplest actions—stretching, drinking, snacking—and listens to their simple conversations. Soundscapes are incredibly detailed. He watches the trees as if they were a person speaking.
Weerasethakul spoke about collaborating with his longtime DP Sayombhu Mukdeeprom: "He and I prefer natural light. If you put me in a studio, I'm frozen, I don't know how to do it. The outdoors is more active, more living. It's about talking with the sun, and how it moves…That really activates me, I enjoy working like that, just being alert all the time."
This alertness and willingness to linger gives Weerasethakul's films a languid, unhurried pace. Even the most energetic in rhythm are not in a rush to get anywhere, like Ghost of Asia (2005) a collaboration with filmmaker Christelle Lheureux. On a rocky coastline, children are giving directions to a man—or rather, the titular Ghost. We only hear their eager, peremptory voices, and watch the man following their commands at a ludicrously funny timelapse, "Catch a fish," "Shoot a bird," "Go to sleep," "Climb a watermelon tree…And…and pick…pick flowers." "Eat the trash," one says excitedly. "That's enough," says the other. Quick cuts, a loony electronic score, and the absolute pliability of the Ghost gives the game a deadpan comedy of which the children are the directors. Their game is filmmaking itself.
On Blue (2022) is another Weerasethakul film that takes place among trees at night. A spotlight in the darkness illuminates a landscape painted on canvas hung from a frame, like theater scenery. With aching slowness, it begins to roll up, drawn by a squeaking pulley and unseen hands, revealing another landscape beneath. Rolling and unfurling, overlapping and getting tangled, these two canvases dance, without dialogue or music, without anyone but the camera to watch. The landscape shots are interspersed with a woman asleep in her bed, while jungle noises play. Are we watching her dreams?
Weerasethakul's interest in sleep came up during the Q&A. "I think sleeping is a very private activity," he said, "You have to be safe and comfortable to be able to sleep. That's why when people sleep in my movies it's like ok, you feel safe." The audience laughed. "Also [there's] the political reflection maybe, because in sleep, nobody can control you. Even yourself. It's kind of resistant. It's a freedom space."
"Your films have an extraordinary embrace of nature," Peña noted, "There's a sense in which you're really trying to capture nature, more than just what it looks like, but a feel."
"I'm interested in the relationship of the subconscious world and nature in the presence of the camera," Weerasethakul said. "Good art, a good film, for me is about living things. When you look at nature, you see that it's changing—in the process of transformation all the time.
"So how do you make a film like that? That's always a goal. Which is impossible." Weerasethakul spoke a few times about the futility of filmmaking and artmaking, the asymptotic nature of capturing memory, or beauty, or life in art: no film will ever truly become those things. "That's really a cause of suffering, to be attached to memory and to try to recreate something. And then it becomes something else, creating another world."
I noticed that 'living' is a word that appears so often in Weerasethakul's reflections about his work. The phrase 'living in the moment' kept coming to my mind, a phrase reduced to idiom, sapped of its meaning through overuse. But in considering Weerasethakul's films and praxis, I considered its vitality restored. He describes filmmaking as existing in the moment of creation, attuned to the conditions in which he creates: the light, the sound, the moods of the people around him.
Weerasethakul shared that while on this trip, he visited an art museum filled with work by great artists, "But I didn't feel anything," he said. "They [were] dead to me somehow. But then I realized the movement of people in the space, and realized [these works started] to live…because of this movement and negotiation…When I was watching [these films,] I felt the same, that these are activated by you."
We the audience, he said—as living participants—bring life to art. "The whole beauty [is] about things looking at things…We're just looking together at light."
