About Gooderstone Water Gardens Near Swaffham
A unique attraction for all garden lovers, naturalists, artists and photographers - or those who simply want a restful break. What could be nicer than to stroll through an enchanting garden, explore the nature trail, perhaps spot a kingfisher and enjoy delicious home made cakes.
The Gooderstone Water Gardens, located in West Norfolk near to Swaffham, consists of six acres of garden with:
*A natural trout stream *Four ponds *Waterways *Thirteen bridges
*Mature trees & shrubs *Colourful borders *Nature trail *Kingfisher hide
*Grass paths *Tearoom & Plant Sales
Billy Knights, a retired farmer began designing and creating the Water Gardens in 1970 in his 70th year. The site was a damp meadow which became too wet for cattle to graze. Mr Knights' son jokingly suggested he should have a water garden, which prompted him to draw out plans (on the back of a piece of wallpaper) and he soon had machines digging out the ponds and waterways. He worked on his garden with love and enthusiasm until he died aged 93. For over 20 years the gardens had been open to the public.
Both Billy and his wife Florence loved their gardens and sharing them with others. With this in mind and as a tribute to her parents Coral Hoyos began restoration in April 2002. Having been unattended and closed for five years, the Gardens had become quite derelict. However they were re-opened again in June 2003, with a new car park, refurbished tea-room / gallery, a toilet for disabled people and an 8 acre nature trail. There has since been the addition of a bird hide, bamboo grove, scented arbour, plant sales and a rustic roundhouse.
To help you find your way round, the bridges are numbered and when you have walked enough rest on one of the many benches provided, or perhaps visit the tearoom in the south-east corner where you can enjoy a relaxing cup of freshly brewed tea or coffee, soft drinks, ice-creams and delicious home made cakes.

Wave Life Sciences Receives Positive Opinion for Orphan Drug Designation in the European Union for WVE-210201
Investigational WVE-210201 in development for treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients amenable to exon 51 skipping
Patients currently enrolling in global Phase 1 clinical trial
"This positive opinion from the EMA's Committee for Orphan Medical Products, based on our in vivo data supporting medical plausibility and the potential for significant benefit of WVE-210201, marks another milestone in our efforts to try to improve the lives of boys suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy," said
To be considered for Orphan Drug Designation in the EU, companies must provide data that demonstrate the plausibility for use of the investigational therapy in the treatment of the disease and establish that the drug has the potential to provide relevant advantages or a major contribution to patient care over existing therapies. The positive opinion issued by COMP is anticipated to be adopted by the
Orphan Drug Designation by the EC provides regulatory and financial incentives for companies to develop and market therapies that treat a life-threatening or chronically debilitating condition affecting no more than five in 10,000 persons in the
WVE-210201 is currently being studied in an ongoing global, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and plasma concentrations of single ascending doses of WVE-210201 administered intravenously in DMD patients with gene mutations amenable to exon 51 skipping. The trial is expected to enroll up to 40 patients, including ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients, between the ages of 5 and 18 years. Safety data from the trial are expected in the third quarter of 2018.
About Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked genetic neuromuscular disorder caused predominantly by out-of-frame deletions in the dystrophin gene, resulting in absent or defective dystrophin protein. Dystrophin protein is needed for normal muscle maintenance and operation. Because of the genetic mutations in DMD, the body cannot produce functional dystrophin, which results in progressive and irreversible loss of muscle function, including the heart and lungs. Globally, DMD affects approximately one in 5,000 newborn boys.
About WVE-210201
WVE-210201 is an investigational stereopure oligonucleotide that has been shown to induce skipping of exon 51 of dystrophin pre-mRNA in nonclinical studies and is intended for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Approximately 13% of DMD patients have genetic mutations that are amenable to treatment with exon 51 skipping therapy. Exon-skipping technology has the potential to induce cellular machinery to 'skip over' a targeted exon and restore the reading frame, resulting in the production of internally truncated, but functional, dystrophin protein. Wave pre-clinical in vitro experiments using gymnotic delivery (free uptake) of WVE-210201 in DMD patient-derived myoblasts demonstrated efficient exon 51 skipping and dystrophin protein restoration. Preclinical Western blot studies of WVE-210201 demonstrated 52% dystrophin protein restoration as compared with normal skeletal muscle tissue lysates.

Vallejo Xpress Color (18ml) – Gloomy Violet – 72.410
Vallejo Xpress Color (18ml) – Gloomy Violet – 72.410
5 in stock
When you need to paint multiple figures in a fast way, Xpress Color is the ideal choice, these matt colors are specifically formulated to paint miniatures in a fast and easy way.
The main characteristic is its excellent capillarity that allows the color to flow easily over the miniature surface, settling on all the reliefs and more intensely in the crevices of the figure, creating a contrast effect with a single layer of paint.
It's recommended to apply Xpress Color on a white or grey primed or painted surface. The color will create light areas on the reliefs, saturated mid-tones and intense shadows in the crevices of the figure.
Like all Vallejo products, they are very versatile and can be applied over any color in the range to create soft shading and contouring effects, to create glazes or filters and to blend transitions between color tones.
Xpress Color can be mixed together, or can be diluted with Xpress Medium to modify or create new shades.
Supplied in 18ml dropper bottles. Shake well before use. The new design of bottle is environmentally friendly (recycled/recyclable) r-PET and includes a security seal.

[[[>40 The Society currently has a programme of events including: * Popular Lectures ** including a Christmas Lecture, * Pop Maths Quiz, * Open Challenge. Please click on these links or those in the navigation panel for further information about these activities, membership, the FunMaths Roadshow and other matters. ]]] The Liverpool Mathematical Society (LivMS) was founded in 1899 as a meeting place for "persons interested in Mathematics" with the support of professors at the then University College. Meetings involved the reading of papers by members and discussion of the topics raised. The Society met regularly except for a gap between November 1917 and October 1919. The first serious involvement in the teaching of mathematics in schools seems to date from 1924 with a well attended meeting on the Report on the Teaching of Geometry issued by the Mathematical Association (which had itself started life as a Society for the reform of the teaching of geometry). In 1928, teachers in ~secondary schools and others interested in mathematics were invited to a meeting "to discuss the best ways of extending the ~work of the Society". After this, there were many talks on the teaching of mathematics including discussion of school syllabuses and examinations. In 1929 the Society took steps to become affiliated to the MA. In the mid 1970's, James Taylor came to the University of Liverpool as Professor of Pure Mathematics. He recently had been Chairman of the Joint Mathematical Council (JMC) and felt that there was need for greater contact between the University and teachers of Mathematics in local ~Secondary Schools. He sent round a ~MEMO inviting all Heads of Maths in Merseyside schools and colleagues in other Higher Education establishments to a meeting at the University. That was the beginning of what became quickly known as Mathematical Education on Merseyside (MEM). At the same time, Professor Taylor served as President of the Society and was responsible for instigating a sixth-form lecture and a competition, first called a Problems Drive and then, from 1980 onwards, Open Challenge (the MEM Challenge competition first took place in 1978). The format of all these competitions has continued with minor changes to this day. The Society's FunMaths Roadshow (for which it is now best known) was started as part of the Society's centenary celebrations in 1999, when the Society hosted a joint conference of the MA and the ATM. Other modern developments include the very successful Pop Maths Quiz, held annually in March and sponsored by Liverpool John Moores University. The Society's programme of popular lectures now includes a Christmas Lecture; together with Open Challenge, this is sponsored by the Department of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Liverpool. ---- You can find a list of past presidents here: * Presidents List-Archive ----

Brain boosts, calories burn and 2 other amazing benefits of being in the cold weather
When the winter comes we rarely think about benefits the cold weather can bring to us. We long for summer, nice, warm weather, beaches, ice tea in a wonderful sunset, long days, outdoor fun with friends and family, light, colourful clothes, smiling people… Thinking of winter, there is always an image of us snuggling under a warm blanket, in front of a TV or with a book in our hands, hot tea and not getting out much. Unless you are a winter sports lover, but even when you consider only fun you will have on snow, not the benefits that cold weather brings us. You may be surprised with just how many benefits cold weather can bring to us. 1. Your brain likes the cold Actually, your brain works better on lower temperatures than on high ones. Studies have shown that school children that studied in classrooms with temperature decreased by 5°C had better results than their colleagues in classrooms with higher temperatures. Cold temperatures help people think more clearly because during the cold weather our body uses less glucose that is needed for proper brain functioning.

Vegan Lentil Bowls – loaded up with greens, seasonal veggies, sprouts, almonds, avocado, fresh mint and an everyday tahini sauce! Vegan and GF
Here's a super easy lunch idea, one that only requires a bit of assembling. Cooked lentils and "activated" almonds (almonds that have been soaked) give the bowl extra protein, along with this super easy Tahini Sauce.
Begin assembling your lentil bowls with a bed of greens. Add seasonal raw veggies — like radish, cauliflower, grated carrots, grated raw beets and avocado. Sprouts are a nice addition too. Add the cooked lentils and almonds.
Scatter fresh torn mint leaves over top and drizzle with the Tahini Sauce. So simple and satisfying…..and such a delicious way to eat raw veggies.
The fresh mint adds such a lovely brightness to the dish, elevating it from ordinary to something special. Give it a try.
If you are unfamiliar with "activated" or soaked almonds, here is a little run down.
The activation process requires raw almonds to be soaked in cool water for 12 hours. Think of this like sprouting grains or seeds.
It converts some of the starch to simpler sugars, and converts some of the protein as the emerging seed is breaking these down for fuel for its new growth. Soaking brings them alive and when they are alive, they are easier to digest and more nutritious.
After 12 hours of soaking they "awaken," and their skins slip right off. They are alive now, or "activated" and can be refrigerated and kept up to a week like they are, or they can be dehydrated at a very low temp, for longer shelf life.
But why I love them so much — is for their very snappy texture. It really changes them! Just give it a try with a handful of raw almonds, just for fun, and see what you think.
I really love this salad piled into toasted pita bread, for extra heartiness.

A full security review is being conducted at all Iowa National Guard facilities statewide following this week's shootings at the Washington D.C. Navy Yard that left 13 people dead. Iowa Guard spokesman Colonel Greg Hapgood says the precautionary move isn't anything out of the ordinary.
"The Iowa National Guard routinely pulls out the security plans, reviews them, exercises them, to make sure they're still relevant regarding the threat environment that we face," Hapgood says. "Those threats can certainly evolve with time so we want to make sure our policies work well for whatever that situation might be."
The colonel says he's confident in the current security precautions. "We believe that the policies and procedures we have in place now are very sound and don't foresee any significant changes," Hapgood says, "but it's certainly a good point in time for us to pull them out, take a look at them and make sure that they work well." There are 54 Iowa National Guard outposts in 41 Iowa cities.
The guard headquarters and training base at Camp Dodge near Des Moines underwent extensive security upgrades after the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.


text: The great American pickup truck has been basically one thing for quite awhile now: a big – and always getting bigger – gas- or diesel-powered lane-hogging beast with a big open bed. Trucks like the Ford F-150 and GMC Sierra have gotten more comfortable with added luxury options like heated seats, foldout work desks and high-end stereos, but the basic formula has held steady. There was a time when pickups came in a wide variety of shapes and sizes from Chevrolet El Camino muscle trucks to cute little Volkswagen pickups and even flat-faced "cab forward" trucks. Over time, though, full-size and somewhat smaller midsize trucks of traditional size and shape have taken over. In the past year, though, some of that old breadth and creativity is returning as more Americans ditch cars for trucks. About a decade ago, cars – meaning not trucks or SUVs – made up more than half of all vehicles sold in America, according to data from Cox Automotive, a company that owns various automotive websites and auto dealer services firms. Now only about 20% of Americans buy traditional passenger cars. Pickups, on the other hand, have gone from less than 14% of the US market to now having just as much market share as cars. The remaining 60% of the market is mostly SUVs and some vans. With more and more Americans buying trucks, companies like Ford, Stellantis and even Hyundai started looking for yet unexplored niches in the search for customers who never knew they wanted a truck. Even for mid-size trucks, like the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger, competition has been getting tougher. This year, Nissan came out with a (finally after more than a decade) redesigned Frontier. It's much more handsome, with a completely new body, new interior, and enough mechanical improvements to make a viable competitor to the well-aged Tacoma, the undisputed king of this category. Not surprisingly, sales of the new Frontier are up briskly, according to Cox Automotive. Trucks got much smaller Going even smaller, Ford came out with the Maverick. At a glance it looks like just a small pickup, but under its conservative exterior, it breaks all the rules. Sharing much of its engineering with the Ford Escape and Bronco Sport SUVs – although it looks nothing like either one – the Ford Maverick can be purchased with all-wheel-drive but the base model is front-wheel-drive. That's almost unheard of for a pickup. Normally, base model pickups are rear-wheel-drive, putting the powered wheels underneath the cargo bed for the best traction when carrying heavy loads. The Maverick's $20,000 base model, less than half the price of the average new vehicle, is a hybrid as well. Hybrid trucks are not new. Ford sells a hybrid version of the F-150 but, with the Maverick, Ford made the hybrid the default entry-level version, making hybridization the norm. But for all its hidden oddities, the Maverick still looks, basically, like a pickup. It has a squared-off front end and a simple grid-like grille. Its cargo bed and the cab, the part where people sit, don't quite meet at right angle like they do in most trucks, but that fact is partly hidden by black plastic. Ford designers clearly went out of their way to make the Maverick look like a traditional pickup. Hyundai designers, on the other hand, had no problems breaking design tradition with the new Santa Cruz. In fact, the Korean automaker's executives insist the Hyundai Santa Cruz is not a pickup truck but rather a "sport adventure vehicle." OK, but it's really a pickup truck. Just like the Ford Maverick, it's a pickup based on front-wheel-drive crossover SUV engineering. Unlike the Maverick, though, the Santa Cruz looks and feels exactly like that. From the outside, it looks like a crossover, but it's as if someone took a giant ice cream scoop to the back end. On the inside, the slightly pricier Santa Cruz also looks much nicer than the Ford, which has a distinct work-truck vibe. The Santa Cruz is also much more refined – even fun – to drive compared to the stiffer and noisier Maverick. Trucks got electric power 2021 also saw the first of an expected wave of electric pickups. Rivian started delivering its first few R1T pickups to customers and it's already won MotorTrend's Truck of the Year award. Just last week, General Motors started production of the GMC Hummer EV pickup. Electric pickups once seemed like an oxymoron. Trucks were all about strength and capability while early electric cars seemed like little pods for driving around town. But electric motors, connected to sufficiently powerful batteries, happen to provide immense pulling power. Adding an additional electric motors creates simple and very capable all-wheel-drive. Also, powerful truck batteries can be used to run power tools, and even charge up other electric vehicles. It turns out electric motors can be ideal for trucks. Trucks like the Rivian and the Hummer won't be competing with one another. The Rivian R1T might be expensive, with prices starting at almost $68,000, but prices for the first Hummer EVs coming off the line start at over $100,000. The smooth-driving but off-road capable Rivian is intended as camping gear for outdoor enthusiasts. The Hummer EV is being marketed as a performance truck. The Rivian R1T is no slouch when it comes to speed and power – it can go from zero to 60 miles an hour in about three seconds – but it's built more for campers than for racers. In 2022, electric truck competition will start getting really heavy. The Ford F-150 Lightning will go into production. A few days into the new year, General Motors will unveil its new Chevrolet Silverado EV electric truck, which CEO Mary Barra has called "unmatched." That truck is supposed to go into production in 2023. By that time, the wedge-shaped Tesla Cybertruck might also be in production at a new Tesla factory in Texas. Tesla reportedly has taken over a million refundable $100 deposits for its Cybertruck. Ford stopped taking such deposits for the Lightning after collecting 200,000 reservations. Ford also recently announced it would double its planned factory output for the Lightning given unexpectedly strong customer demand. Many of the potential customers, according to Ford, are not even current pickup truck owners. After this year and next, the world of pickup trucks, loaded up with tradition and towing heavy expectations, will never be the same. The last stand of the piston engine This past year also brought some competition for Ford in a very different part of the truck market. The Ford F-150 Raptor has had the high-performance off-road pickup market all to itself for over a decade. If truck shoppers were rational customers looking only for the vehicle that best suits their day-to-day needs, hardly anyone would buy a Ford Raptor, a truck designed for high-speed desert racing. But Ford sells lots of Raptors and, it must be assumed, "rational" doesn't have much to do with the purchase process. With prices starting at at about $65,000, it's one of Ford's most profitable models. Ford revealed an updated version of the extra-tall, extra-wide 450 horsepower truck this year. The latest version is available with even bigger tires – 37 inches tall – and hi-tech suspension that checks the terrain 500 times a seconds and softens or stiffens automatically. But this was also the year that Ford's competitor, Stellantis, came out with the Ram TRX, with a starting price $10,000 higher than the Ford's. For that money, the TRX offers much more power. Its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 can produce up to 702 horsepower. Given that buyers are paying luxury car prices, the TRX also has a nicely appointed interior. A hard press on the gas pedal brings on a whoosh from the big supercharger along with a rush of acceleration. (Aside from its flare-fendered width and nearly bottomless thirst for fuel, it drives pretty nicely on paved roads.) Ford has promised a higher-horsepower version of the Raptor coming soon, so this dinosaur fight is not over.

Effects Artist Jason Johnston on the process behind Jack Jack's powers:
"We met with the Art Director, Ralph Eggleston, and he was very specific in that Jack-Jack is the source of the fire, he's not on fire," Johnston added. "And what that means is that there'll be no smoke and no embers ever coming off of him, but things that he has lit on fire can have them."
Another crucial element: "We also don't want it to be scary."
This is a fascinating look at the incredible (forgive me) attention to detail these artists put into a special effect that many of us took for granted on first viewing. Even if you recently rewatched the first Incredibles, which came out 14 years ago, you probably didn't notice that much of a difference between the effects and character models of 2004 to this new sequel, which evolves just about everything.
But that's the level of thought you can expect from a Pixar film, where expectations are sky high. It's one thing to make Jack Jack a thrilling character with unpredictable powers, but it's another to balance his limitless potential with the fact that he's still a baby.
Filmmaking is a deep and inspiring art, so it excites me to see Pixar's creatives continuing to put effort into their special features and "behind the scenes" featurettes like this. The next generation of storytellers will watch and learn from these problem-solving anecdotes, spurring young fans into making animated films of their own someday.
For now, here's a special clip from Incredibles 2 released in anticipation of the upcoming digital and Blu-Ray release, where you can relive Jack Jack's close encounter with an unfortunate raccoon. It's still a blast.

As we approach the latter part of Ramadan, here are some reflections from the words of Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, to spur us on to the fruits of Ramadan with renewed vigour. (Previous visits to Ramadan with Ibn Rajab can be read here and here):
1. Let us recall how the path to goodness has been facilitated for us in Ramadan. Ibn Rajab reminds us that: 'The Devil has been shackled in Ramadan, the fires of passions quelled by fasting, the ego's desires isolated, and authority has been turned over to the restraining intellect which rules justly. So the sinner, now, has no excuse. O clouds of heedlessness, disperse from over the heart! O rays of piety and faith, arise for this new dawn! O pages wherein righteous deeds are recorded, rise up! O hearts of those who fast, have reverent fear [of God]! O feet of the devoted strivers, prostrate to your Lord and bow down to Him! O eyes of those who spend their nights in prayer, sleep not! O sins of the repenters, return not!'1
2. While we do indeed worship a Generous Lord, we should not become complacent about the acceptance of our deeds. We must not take for granted that our fasts will be accepted. Instead, we should seek to eliminate the defects in our fasts, by seeking to improve our intention, sincerity, quality of our fasting and depth of devotion in them. 'The pious predecessors (al-salaf al-salih),' wrote Ibn Rajab, 'would strive tenaciously to complete an action well and to perfect it. They would then be concerned if the act would be accepted, fearing it may be rejected. They were of those who give what they give while their hearts tremble. [23:60] It is related that 'Ali said: "Be more concerned with your action's acceptance than with the action itself. Have you not heard God, majestic is He, saying: God accepts only from those who fear Him. [5:27]" … One of the salaf declared: "They used to call upon God for six months that He allow them to reach Ramadan, then they would beseech Him for the next six months for Him to accept their deeds from them."'2
3. More than anything else, Ramadan is about hope and anticipating good. Ibn Rajab again: "The month, all of it, is a month of mercy, forgiveness and freedom [from the Fire]. This is why it says in an authentic hadith that the gates of mercy are flung open during it; and in a hadith in al-Tirmidhi and others: "Indeed, God frees [people] from the Hellfire every night [of Ramadan]."3 Be that as it may, the first part of [the month] is dominated by mercy – particularly to the God-fearing who act with excellence (li'l-muhsinin al-muttaqin). God, exalted is He, says: Surely, the mercy of God is near to those who act with excellence. [7:56] And: My mercy embraces all things, therefore I shall ordain it for those who fear [God] and pay the zakat. [7:156] At the month's commencement there is an unbounded outpouring of mercy and good pleasure upon the God-fearing, whilst the people of excellence are treated with grace and eminence.
As for the middle of the month, forgiveness dominates it. During it, those who fast are forgiven, even if they are guiltily of committing some minor sins – for even that shall not bar them from being forgiven. In this respect, God, exalted is He, said: Truly your Lord is forgiving to people despite their evil-doing. [13:6]
As for the latter part of the month, those whose evil deeds and major sins would have necessitated residing in the Hellfire, are freed and liberated.'4
4. Those sinners who continue to lead wayward lives and neglect their duties to God, even in the blessed month of Ramadan, even they needn't despair: 'Just because God's mercy has been specified for the doers of excellence, it doesn't mean sinners should despair of receiving it. Just because forgiveness is ordained for the God-fearing, those who wrong themselves [through sinning] are not veiled from it … Say: "O my servants who have transgressed against their own souls! Do not despair of God's mercy! For God forgives all sins." [39:53] So, O sinner – and we are all sinners – let not your evil deeds make you despair of God's mercy. How many like you have been liberated from the Fire during these days. So entertain a good opinion of your Protecting Lord and turn in repentance to Him. For no one is damned with God, save he who damns himself:
If sins pain you then take your medicine;
By raising your hands in the depth of the night.
Despair not of the Divine Mercy; for surely
Despair of it is worse than the sin itself.
His mercy to the doers of excellence is generosity;
While His mercy to the sinners is pure benevolence.'5

When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. (Proverbs 16:7)
Let us pray: Dearest God, I pray for guidance every day. I really want to pledge commitment and obedience to you and I want to do this not just because I fear for my salvation. I want to do the right things because I desire to please you Lord. Let me submit myself to you Lord. Please help me keep a pure living according to your commandments.

To invoke a BAPI as a Web Service using the SOAP protocol, once the BAPI is available as a WS in SAP you need to locate the associated WSDL interface. Next, import the BAPI into a GeneXus KB as an External Object using the WSDL Import utility.
Also, this external object may be used from any GeneXus object. To do so, we define a variable with the EO data type, and invoke any method of the BAPI with a <EODataTypeVariable>.<method>([parms]).
Upon generating this object, GeneXus will create a SOAP call to invoke the BAPI.

PM Douglas sends sympathy message on Libyan air crash
Debris from the Libyan plane crash
ST. KITTS, MAY 17, 2010 (CUOPM) – St. Kitts and Nevis has expressed condolences on the recent plane crash in Tripoli, which left 92 passengers and the 11-member crew dead.
"In this time of mourning, the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis sympathies with and extends heartfelt condolences to the Government and people of Libya as they endeavor to cope with the aftermath of this situation, said Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas in his message to the President Colonel Muamamar Abu Al Qaddafi.
Dr. Douglas added that St. Kitts and Nevis empathises at this time of difficulty with the families who are bereaved.
"We wish the Government and people of Libya strength as they continue to address this grave situation," said Dr. Douglas.
A nine-year old Dutch boy was the only survivor on the A-330 Airbus Afriqiyah Airways plane.
More than half of the passengers, 62, were vacationers from the Netherlands who were traveling home from South Africa. Travelers from nearly 10 other countries were on the Johannesburg-to-Tripoli flight. Most had plans to travel on to Europe.
Libyan officials are investigating the cause of the crash but they have ruled out terrorism.

Life in hiding was always hazardous. Throughout German-occupied Europe, the Nazis made a concerted effort to locate Jews in hiding. German officials and their collaborators harshly penalized those who aided Jews and offered rewards to individuals willing to turn in Jews. Beginning in March 1943, the Gestapo (the German secret state police) granted some Jews in Germany reprieve from deportation in exchange for tracking down their co-religionists who had gone underground. By spring 1945, when the Nazi regime lay in ruins, these informers had turned in as many as 2,000 Jews. In other countries, neighbors betrayed others for money or out of support for the regime. In German-occupied Poland, blackmailers squeezed money or property from Jews by threatening to turn them in to the authorities.
Jews in hiding were discovered by chance during raids seeking conscripts for forced labor, resistance cells, black marketers, or by random searches of documents. A slip of the tongue, improperly prepared false documents, or gossip could lead to arrest and deportation.

Microsoft eVouse mouse/pen design concept is too cool for MS
Microsoft has some interesting peripherals in its lineup. The company was the first to offer a gaming keyboard with a number pad that could be moved to either side of the keyboard. That was a cool innovation, but for the most part the designs that Microsoft comes up with are usually a bit boring to me.
A very cool new design concept has turned up over at Yanko Design that has the Microsoft name on the side, but the thing is clearly too cool for Microsoft. The concept is called the eVouse and is a convergence of a mouse and a digital pen. The "V" shaped design can be used as a standard mouse for navigating your computer.
The buttons and scroll are touch sensitive and light green when pressed. When it comes time to work in design software the user can pick the concept up and hold one of its sides like a pen and write or draw with the point of the eVouse. The design is cool, but it doesn't look like the most comfortable thing to use as a normal mouse.

China's first homegrown GPUs are impressive on paper, but the company that makes them doesn't appear too keen on selling them to consumers. Instead, it's pitching them as power-efficient compute accelerators for cloud systems, even though the spec sheet says they support DirectX and Vulkan.
In November, we learned that a Chinese company called Innosilicon had been developing a GPU that could be a similar success story as that of YMTC and its 128-layer 3D NAND memory. The new graphics card — dubbed Fenghua 1 — didn't receive a flashy announcement like Nvidia and AMD are known for, but what caught our eye was that it was designed to support the DirectX and Vulkan APIs used in many modern PC games.
This week, TechNode's Stewart Randall shared a short video on Twitter of what appears to be proof that China's first homegrown GPU isn't just a mirage. The video shows a mini-tower PC equipped with Innosilicon's Fenghua 1 graphics card running the GFXBench T-Rex benchmark. There's no frames-per-second counter on the screen, and we don't get to see the test result, but since this is more of a mobile-oriented benchmark, it would be unfair to draw comparisons to existing graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia.
At least on paper, the Fenghua 1 should match low-mid range graphics cards. There are two variants, a Type-A capable of delivering up to five teraflops of FP32 performance and a Type-B that can double that thanks to a dual-chip architecture. They're both based on PowerVR IP from Imagination Technologies, which should make them relatively power efficient despite being manufactured using a 12 nm process node. They also support DirectX 11, DirectX 12, and Vulkan 1.2.
For reference, Nvidia's GTX 1660 SUPER can deliver a bit over five teraflops of FP32 performance, and the non-Ti RTX 2080 provides just a hair over 10 TFLOPS. However, the specifications provided by Innosilicon don't seem to add up. On the one hand, the Fenghua 1 cards use 19 Gbps GDDR6 and GDDR6X memory for up to 304 GB per second of bandwidth, and the company says the pixel fill rate of the Type-A configuration is a respectable 160 GPixels per second. On the other hand, the typical power consumption rating is a diminutive 50 watts, and there's no way to tell how these specs translate into gaming scenarios.
Innosilicon says it will sell different variants with 4, 8, and 16 gigabytes of VRAM, and the marketing materials indicate these are primarily aimed at the enterprise market. Not much is known about retail availability, but we may learn more about these mysterious graphics cards next year.

I've been in my current position for 12 months. A year flies by quickly when you're not watching. Days and months blend together, seasons come and go, and then you look back and realize how quickly it's all gone. In the beginning, time seemed to be standing still. Almost everything was new and I spent a lot of time figuring out how to do it. The basics were there, but the specifics had never been seen. I tackled a budget for the first time ever. I learned what my predecessor had done before me. I figured out what worked best for me within my boundaries. I learned that for some things there were no boundaries. I organized a major grand opening event. I handled some difficult situations. I dealt with uncomfortable things. I made some tough decisions. I made changes that improved everyone's daily lives. I created new expectations.
I've learned a lot in the last year. Most of all, I've learned that a year can pass by quickly. It's easy to lose items to the task list, only to have them buried deeper and deeper. As another year begins, I'm armed with enough knowledge to keep digging away at that list. There's still a lot more to learn and even more to improve upon, but I've got the supplies to get the job done. Just like most things in life, knowing that time is against me is half the battle. Knowing that we are all overworked helps me better align projects so we can ensure the right things get done. At the end of the day, we can only do so much. As long as we are giving it our best shot, we'll come out better in the end. A career is a place to grow. It's a thing to improve upon. It's not a stagnant place, but an ever-changing world.
In the coming year, I have a lot of goals and aspirations. I have personal goals, manager goals, department goals, and career goals. With one year behind me, I've learned what it takes to whittle away at all of those goals. I've learned what it takes to improve all of those areas for the better of the company. I love where my career has gone. Even more so, I love enjoying what I do every day. Some days may hold a few hiccups, but the hiccups never stick around for too long. There may be painful days filled with frustrations, but something good always comes out of the bad. I look forward to another amazing year doing what I love best!

Beloosesky Gallery is interested in purchasing paintings by Andre Hambourg.
Please call (917) 749-4557 or email us at email@example.com
The artist André Hambourg (1909 - 1999) was a French painter of romantic compositions of Venice, luminous seascapes, and beach scenes.
André Hambourg was born in Paris on May 5th, 1909. Entering the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs in 1926, he studied sculpture under Paul Niclausse for four years. The young artist then entered the studio of Lucien Simon at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. While in the middle of his academic studies, Hambourg had his debut solo exhibition at the Galerie Taureau in Paris in 1928. He was only 19 years old at the time. Because of the early recognition of his talent, Hambourg became active in the important Paris salons in the first stages of his developing career. In 1931, he was made a member of the Salon de l'Art Français Indépendant and the Salon de l'Oeuvre Unique.
The first of Hambourg's many honors was the Prix de la Villa Abd-el-Tif, awarded in 1933. As a result, the artist traveled to North Africa for the first time, and would spend nearly ten years working in Algeria and Morocco. The powerful sunlight, as well as the bleak poverty of this region, inspired Hambourg's canvases. In 1937, he executed a large mural for the Algerian Pavilion at the Exposition Internationale of Paris, earning the title of Laureate of the Exposition. Throughout his years in North Africa, Hambourg would exhibit his paintings in numerous one-man shows in Algeria, Oran and Paris. Eighty of his works were shown at such a show, at the Musée d'Outre-Mer in Paris in 1939.
In 1939, Hambourg was mobilized as a military reporter and draughtsman and worked on the staff of the Journal de Commissariat a la Guerre, the newspaper of the French army, under the pseudonym Andre Hache. Special missions on combat vessels led to his appointment as a war correspondent in 1944 with the staff of inter-allied SHAEF. In this role, he took part in the German, Alsace and Atlantic Front campaigns, as well as the liberation of France. In recognition of his wartime contributions, Hambourg was decorated with the Croix de Guerre. Before the end of the war, Hambourg became the first French delegate to the Four Arts Aid Society. For his aid to French artists during this time, Hambourg was made a Chevalier of the Ordre de la Sante Publique.
After returning to his artistic career for a short time, Hambourg became the official painter of the Navy in 1952. He undertook numerous voyages aboard French Navy vessels on missions all around the world including: Venice, the Soviet Union, Israel, Britain, the Ivory Coast, the United States, and Mexico. From these global travels, the artist brought back many sketches and preparatory drawings for future paintings and illustrations. His international trips would have a lasting influence on his artwork. Hambourg's adventurous maritime career resulted in his receiving the honor of Laureate of the Salon de la Marine, and becoming the official painter of the Marine Ministry.
In 1970 five hundred of his works formed a prestigious retrospective at the Maison de Culture in Bourges. Other notable shows include Drawings of Venice at Galerie Varine-Gincourt in Paris (1979), Bonjour New York at Wally Findlay Galleries in New York (1985), The Presence of André Hambourg at the Salon du Dessin (1986), André Hambourg in the Ivory Coast at Galerie Guigne in Paris (1987), and finally André Hambourg in Venice at Galerie Apesteguyin Deauville (1989).
Having past experience creating mural decorations for ships, Hambourg was asked to complete a 195 square foot mural, for the Audience Chamber of the new European Court of Justice in Luxembourg in 1972. One year later, this panoramic work was unveiled at an opening ceremony in the Hotel de Ville, attended by the President of Luxembourg, Robert Lecourt, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg.
On December 4th, 1999, André Hambourg died in Paris after a long and prosperous career.

Creator: The Optimal Breathing Self Mastery Kit
Founder: The Optimal Breathing School
Member: National Speakers Association
Mike's reputation for his skills in the USA has developed so much that he now is asked to travel overseas to train prominent sports, business people, and VIPs.
I do what I do because changing the breathing is the most relevant thing I have seen in 40 years of studying health and well-being that change people's lives in almost everything they do 24/7/365. Breath is life. My work is dedicated to: those wanting to live life fullest and more on their own terms; those with chronic health challenges; those who have been excessively medicated; those accused of faking illness but just knew something was wrong with their breathing; to all health professionals who want to ensure we all get, and stay healthy. To all medical doctors and holistic health professionals frustrated with the excesses of the prescription drug industry and their misguided colleagues that support those excesses. To anyone wanting to breathe better, and live a longer, fuller, healthier life. We don't compete with Eastern or conventional Western medicine, we complement it. In 1978 I had spent years trying to regain a singing voice I knew I had as a child. It was not about my voice changing, it was about having been physically abused as a child to the point that I could not even scream, let alone sing. This emotional and physical abuse while growing to full-sized adulthood caused restrictions and distortions to my breathing mechanics and implanted body/cellular memories of pain, and anxiety. I believe it is similar to what many others have experienced. A form of PTSD..
The Optimal Breathing Coach. Also known as The Breathing Guy, The Ultimate Breathing Guy, The Ultimate Breathing Coach, The Breathing Master, The Johnny Appleseed of Breathing.
Author of: Secrets of Optimal Natural Breathing, Building Healthy Lungs Naturally, The Way You Breathe Can Make You Sick or Make You Well, Sleeping and Snoring, A very special link to one of my power animals, the Hummingbird.
The Optimal Breathing Mastery Kit
Optimal Breathing Development Work integrates ancient teachings and modern science and technology and is compatible with all forms of religious or spiritual expression. Breathing mechanics are essentially the same for almost everyone but many of us lose good breathing or never had it. We teach rock-solid breathing fundamentals for a variety of goals and purposes. As Vince Lombardi used to say. "There are NO new fundamentals."
One of my primary goals as a breathing coach and breathing-based personal growth mentor is to help awaken the breathing consciousness of the world. 8 million emails over the last 10 years and 20 years of helping thousands of people breathe better have helped me get closer to that goal.
Good or not so good, Charles Darwin gave biology a grammar. My goal is to clarify breathing vocabulary and function in a most meaningful, easily understandable, and dependable way, and to awaken the breathing consciousness of the world.
Contact Abuse or trauma is not a necessary factor to lose one's breathing. Even the chronic stresses of living can cause huge breathing distortions and subsequent energetic imbalance. Great singing, as well as great speaking, requires great breathing and eventually, I realized there was something wrong with the way I was breathing. It took me nearly 25 years to discover what was wrong and how to make it better. During that time I spent a fortune looking for answers in all the wrong places. I discovered what did NOT work. I learned how important the "breathing component" can be and eventually developed my own system to detect and correct many breathing-based chronic health challenges. Knowing what I do now would have shortened that time by decades and saved me and many others a lot of frustration, confusion, and time.
Concurrently I had spent years of studying different spiritual and psychological disciplines. I discovered that almost every well-known or broadly accepted spiritual approach, had within it one or more specific ways of addressing the way that someone used the breath and breathing. If they had one thing in common it was a strong respect for prana, chi, ki, elan vital, spiritus, pneuma, kundalini or what I call Life Force. If it was so important to all those spiritual disciplines, there must be many aspects including secrets kept about it that could benefit the human condition.
My father was a police detective and counseled me to look for common denominators. The common denominator became more then the simple fact we breathe, but rather why, how, and in what way? This idea of the way, the how, and the why pointed me towards something I, without pharmaceutical drug distortions, confusing, expensive, or even poor science or hidden spiritual agenda, could feel and measure on my own giving me a dependable sense of tangible day to day evidence that I was heading in the right direction.
From my research, I found that the breath and breathing affect every aspect of our existence. One cannot understand the breath without making a study of it. And to really know it one must experience its feeling sense directly and preferably be guided by one who is familiar with the internal terrain of sensing and feeling, awareness, and optimal function. Like chocolate must be tasted to know what it is like, breathing must be felt, moment to moment.
So it was because of this quest to regain my singing voice in 1975 that my path became to study the breath. From this, the Optimal Breathing System was born. We now have self-help courses, this website, one one cone private sessions in person or Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp, a voice clinic, a breathing school, and faculty advisors. Our students include a wide range of health professionals, business executives, personal and spiritual growth mentors and seekers, amateur and professional athletes, public speakers, and world-class wind instrument players and singers. Anyone that wants to learn to live and breathe better is encouraged to work with us.

I believe that breathing is generic to all humanity and definitely non-sectarian. I honor all forms of spirituality. We are all one-people. We all breathe the same air and in the same way. And Breath is life.
Just as Optimal Breathing helps remove the barriers that prevent vocalists and speakers from reaching their vocal potential, it can help remove those barriers in all of us, allowing us to better achieve our maximum potential in whatever it is we do. This is personal power on a moment-to-moment 24/7 basis. Optimal Breathing has shown astonishing healing factors and further studies are being conducted to see how better breathing correlates with various health conditions.
Originally designed as a personal growth development technique, Optimal Breathing realizes a much wider potential for accelerating many self-healing processes as well as being an important adjunct to almost any therapy or personal growth approach.
Today, we at Optimal Breathing are working with some of our nation's top physicians, dentists, behavioral and alternative health specialists, personal trainers, and teaching professionals to expand the use of Optimal Breathing in new and exciting areas of therapy, sports performance, self-expression, and personal growth.

The quick answer
In all honesty, if we're looking just at the robots side by side, the E35 wins almost every category, but that said, it is usually between $80 – $100 more than the Roomba 675. The stand out differences are the suction power, 2000pa for the Roborock E35 vs 600pa in the Roomba 675 and the fact that the E35 also packs a mopping feature.

A bit of background
While they didn't invent the robot vacuum cleaner, iRobot are behind the Roomba brand which was largely responsible for the popularisation of it. They have many different series like Roomba 500, 600, 700 and 800 series each with different upgrades in capabilities such as aerovac bin, longer battery life, Wi-Fi connectivity, great cleaning performance and human voice control.
As the popularity of the little floor wizards gained, so did the competition. Although Roborock may seem like relative newcomers, they are actually the brand behind the hugely popular and impressive Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum brand. Recently they have decided to branch out and launch their own brand.
Roomba 675 vs Roborock E35: The robots
The Roomba 675 is a member of the Roomba 600 series which has an exceptional ability when it comes to cleaning of cemented floors, tiled floors, carpet and home furniture with its three stage cleaning system loosens, lifts and removes dirt perfectly well.
- Vacuum and mop: Vacuum and mop simultaneously for sparklingly clean floors; The mop sucks in water evenly as it cleans, so it cleans without leaving puddles

The Roborock E35, on the other hand, has a better cleaning action with well-equipped brush for scrubbing, modern sensor for detecting dirt and very fast Wi-Fi control link from your android or IOS phones from anywhere. The user can control the Roborock E35 while in the office with the mobile App control.
- Capacity volume - .6 liter. Works with Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately)
Last update on 2023-12-06 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API
Comparison of Roomba 675 and Roborock E35
The Roomba 675 packs 600pa of suction. While this is not very much, it does have Roomba's advanced 3-stage cleaning system that makes up for lack of pure power. Kind of like sticking Jeff Gordon in a Toyota Prius and still getting great results.
However, the Roborock E35 has a massive 2000pa of suction, so if you like big numbers, it is the better choice.
Run Time
The Roomba 675 has a run time of 90 minutes when it is fully charged but Roborock E35 has a run time of 150 minutes (more than 2 hours when operating at optimum capacity) which means that the Roborock E35 will do more work than Roomba 675 i.e. more operational time to your credit.
Dustbin Capacity
The Roomba 675 has a dustbin capacity of 350ml unlike Roborock with a capacity of 650 ml which is twice the capacity of Roomba 675. The user do not need to border about empting the bin while the vacuum cleaner is working.
Voice Prompt
The Roomba 675 has its own voice prompt but the speaker when it comes to response are not clear enough but the Roborock has a clear voice prompt with different language options for error message response.
Robot Weight
The Roomba 675 has a net weight of 3.6kg compared to Roborock with a net weight of 3kg which means that Roomba 675 is heavier than Roborock. At least 0.6kg difference.
Full Bin Indicator
The Roborock E35 is equipped with a full dustbin indicator to alert the user when the dust bin is full unlike Roomba 675 which does not have this indicator.
Dirt Detect
The Roomba 675 vacuum cleaner is not intelligent enough to detect dirt but hovers around the given space it is meant to clean. This is not the case in Roborock E35 as it has infrared sensors for detecting dirt on the floor and around its environment.
App control
Bothe the Roborock E35 and the Roomba 675 have app control. Through the app you can start and stop the vacuum from anywhere, see cleaning results and set cleaning schedules. The 675 uses the iRobot Home App whereas Roborock use the Mi Home app. Both are available of iOS and Android devices.
Key Differences
Cleaning Action
Roborock E35 features a better cleaning system with its strong brush and output power. While you cannot expect miracles, it does a job. The Roomba 675 does not have cleaning ability compared to Roborock. If this is an important feature to you, then Roborock E35 is definitely the best choice for you.
If you want it to, the Roborock E35 can vacuum and mop together for even shinier hard floors. The onboard water tank drips a slow flow of water onto the cloth which avoids it drying out or leaving puddles. water onto the mop picks up the finest dirt, and its onboard water tank only allows water to flow out as the cloth dries to eliminate puddling.
The Roomba 675 does not mop.
Smarter Device
The Roborock is a smarter device because it has the ability to detect dirt easily without wasting most of its battery. It goes right away to do the job unlike Roomba 675 which is more like a dumbed down system. If this is an important feature to you, then Roborock E35 is definitely the best choice for you.
More Run Time
When the battery of a gadget lasts longer, it will do more work thereby offering more efficient cleaning. The Roborock has a run time of 150 minutes unlike Roomba 675 which has a runtime of 90 minutes. If this is an important feature to you, then Roborock E35 is definitely the best choice for you.
Roborock E35
Can you put any kind of cleaning agent inside the Roborock E35 with water?
Roborock Manufacturers suggest customers add water only in the water tank. Other liquid may cause blockage of the water tank filter.
My rug is over an inch above the floor. Will it still try to climb up onto it?
Yes, the Roborock will be able to conquer that rug. However, if you would rather it didn't try, you can purchase separately the black magnetic strip to be placed as a boundary that you don't want the vacuum to cross. Many vacuums include some of this in the box, it's a little disappointing the E35 does not.
How does it do with longer dog hair?
It does an excellent job.
Can I register on Mi Home app before purchasing the vacuum?
Yes you could register an account on Mi Home app whenever you like.
How many modes does it have?
There are four cleaning modes you can select on app to adjust suction. Silent mode, standard mode, strong mode and max mode.
Does this come with mop pads? If so, how many?
It comes with one mop pad and it has 3 extra mop pads
Roomba 675
What does the Roomba do if it encounters small dog poop?
It will most likely spread it around the room. Probably not what you want to hear, but certainly not something you want to happen.
How do you operate this without Wi-Fi?
Simply press the clean button to to start and stop the robot, the dock button to send it back to the base. There is also a spot clean button to do concentrated cleaning in one specific area for a few minutes.
What is the height of the Roomba 675?
The Roomba 675 is 3.5 inches / 8.9 cm tall.
How big is the dustbin in the Roomba 675?
The Roomba 375 has a 350 ml dustbin which when compared to many other robotic vacuums is quite small.
Final thoughts on the Roomba 675 vs Roborock E35
If you are searching for an intelligent device that can act on its own without human intervention, strong brush for scrubbing, great mopping ability and remote control from your mobile device then Roborock E35 is the answer. It possesses these qualities and many more though it may consume some more electrical energy than its counterpart.
However, that said, it is around $100 more than the 675, so if price is the main consideration, the Roomba 675 will still be an excellent choice.

Georgia Tech Hosts 11th Annual Conference on Systems Engineering Research
ATLANTA - March 19, 2013 - The Georgia Institute of Technology hosted the Conference on Systems Engineering Research (CSER) at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center March 19-22, 2013. This year's theme, "Addressing Societal Needs with Next-Generation Systems" focused on fostering new research ideas and pushing the boundaries of today's systems engineering research to find solutions that better society.
Since 2003, the annual conference serves as an international platform to showcase innovative systems engineering research. Conference papers address a variety of subjects within systems engineering such as evolutionary systems, infrastructure, workforce training, defense, and aerospace.
Three keynote speakers discussed systems engineering challenges as well as its role today and into the future.
Victoria Cox, former FAA assistant administrator for NextGen, spoke on Wednesday, March 20. Her presentation, "Challenges with Deploying Complex Systems of Systems: Some Perspectives," will discuss how non-technical challenges presented by the economic landscape, political climate, and stakeholder equity as well as the culture into which the system of systems will be inserted are often as crucial to successful delivery of the product as the viability of the technologies involved.
Paul Eremenko, who recently served as the deputy director and acting director of the Tactical Technology Office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense, spoke on Thursday, March 21. His presentation, "Formal Model-Based Design & Manufacture: A Template for Managing Complexity in Large-Scale Cyber-Physical Systems" will touch on the proposition that the traditional top-down systems engineering process is inadequate for coping with the increasing complexity, dynamic coupling, and cyber-physical interactions found in modern large-scale systems such as aerospace systems.
Ann Devereaux, lead system engineer for the flight system of the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover Project, served as the final keynote on Friday, March 22. Her presentation, "Landing Curiosity: SE Challenges for NASA's Newest Martian," will walk the audience through the systems engineering challenges and successes of the project.
In addition to the keynote presenters, technical paper presentations, special sessions and panels were featured. Awards for Best Paper and Best Student Paper were announced during an evening reception that took place on Thursday, March 21.
Several Georgia Tech faculty members and instructors served as conference organizers. Chris Paredis, associate professor with the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, was the conference chair. Carlee Bishop, executive director of Georgia Tech's Professional Master's Degree in Applied Systems Engineering, and Doug Bodner, senior research engineer with the Tennenbaum Institute at Georgia Tech, were conference program co-chairs.

Universities came together to build a better future for the engineering industry earlier this month, with an aim of increasing the number of women studying engineering.
Led by The University of Queensland, 17 universities from across Australia and New Zealand took part in UQ's biennial Collaboration Workshop - Engineering a Diverse Future, in Melbourne on 11-12 October.
University representatives shared their ideas and initiatives in a bid to achieve one common long-term goal – to see female participation in engineering increase collectively across the South Pacific.
Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology Executive Dean Professor Vicki Chen said UQ was the first to offer a program aimed at increasing the number of women in engineering, and she hoped to see other universities follow suit.
"We want to see broad systemic change that can benefit industry and the wider community in Australia and globally, not just at UQ, and we fundamentally believe that schools, universities and industry need to collaborate if this is to be achieved," she said.
"This workshop is the perfect opportunity for the leading universities across Australia and New Zealand to join forces and to generate more gender diversity within the engineering industry."
Engineers Australia CEO Peter McIntyre opened the event and shared key ways industry, government and academia can work together to increase greater diversity in the profession.
"Getting more women into the profession is essential; there is too much untapped talent if we don't achieve this," he said.
"We need to fundamentally redefine the perceptions our society has on the work of engineers."
The symposium addressed prospective and current student engagement, and collaborating with teachers and influencers with the goal of a continuous, consistent approach to make a transformational impact on the industry.
Supported by Rio Tinto, The Australian Power Institute, Powerlink and Energy Queensland, UQ's Women in Engineering program aims to increase female enrolments in engineering programs to 30 per cent by 2023.

text: About Us News & Views Articles The Great CRISPR Custody Battle 21 September 2018 by Julie Monroe The Great CRISPR Custody Battle One of the great genetic engineering game changers is currently embroiled in a heated custody battle. Patent rights for CRISPR-Cas9, developed simultaneously by Jennifer Doudna and her collaborator, Emmanuel Charpentier, at the University of California at Berkeley and Feng Zhang of MIT and Harvard's Broad Institute, are being vehemently fought for in December 2016 in Virginia. The outcome of this case has the potential to revoke patent rights already awarded to the Broad Institute back in 2014. CRISPR, which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, was first identified in the late 1980s. However, the invention of the specific CRISPR-Cas9 system as a gene editing tool by Doudna and Zhang several years ago spotlighted its potential to be a rock star in genetic engineering. By late 2014, hundreds of papers were published theorizing the use of CRISPR in immunotherapy, the development of biofuels, crop modification, and various other applications. The great appeal of CRISPR is that it can be employed to make site-specific DNA sequence changes with less chance for error whilst targeting almost any site on a DNA molecule. Zhang, one of CRISPR's inventors, likens it to fixing typos in a novel. The Cas9 protein finds a specific sequence of bases in DNA that needs repair or modification, and cuts it at that point. This cut, or series of cuts if required, can then either be used to insert new corrected DNA (much like a find and replace option on word processing software), or introduce a mutation (much like introducing a spelling change into a word). Doudna was the first of the two researchers to include her CRISPR findings in a patent application and an article in Science in 2012. Zhang later published his own work in 2013 and received a patent for it in 2014. The dispute lies in who originated the idea for CRISPR-Cas9 first and developed it into a novel method for future work. UC Berkeley argues that Doudna's ideas provided a basis for Zhang's work, which weren't innovative anyway because they were basically tweaks of conventional methods. Conversely, the Broad Institute insists that Doudna's early work only theorized about the use of CRISPR in eukaryotic cells (human, plant, and animal) without any detailed road map to achieve it. In a priority statement released by the Broad Institute, Zhang's lab also claimed to have been working on components of CRISPR-Cas9 since February, 2011, giving them first patent rights. The fundamental controversy in this case lies in what part of CRISPR is patentable, and the question of whether Zhang's patent attempts interfere with Doudna's original patent application. The Broad Institute has argued that all Doudna's lab showed was that Cas9 could cleave DNA in a test tube, without any genetic editing taking place. According to them, Cas9 itself cannot be patented because it is a naturally occurring protein and its cleaving of DNA is a normal bacterial process. Zhang's lab is then only seeking to patent the components and processes developed for CRISPR-Cas9 for genome editing in eukaryotic cells. Doudna's lawyers, on the other hand, are attempting to prove that Doudna expected CRISPR to work in the ways identified by Zhang, so she had the idea first, and was thus the first inventor. They also claim that when the Broad paid for the patent office to expedite the review of Zhang's 2012 patent application, it interfered with Doudna's 2012 application still sitting in review. The first hearing before three judges of the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) drew sizable crowds, including researchers and patent reviewers, who were curious about this unique case. While both UC Berkeley and the Broad had twenty minutes for arguments, the former was put on the defensive with intense questioning about Doudna's early expectations of CRISPR's capabilities. Following arguments made by lawyers from both sides, the hearing closed without a firm decision from the panel. UC Berkeley and The Broad Institute are now faced with one of three options. If the panel sides with Doudna, she could be granted rights as first inventor and receive patents already awarded to Zhang. If Zhang is determined to be first inventor, the Broad will end up with a widespread patent base with which to license out CRISPR technologies. Finally, both could be considered co-inventors, which would likely spur more debate and potentially get ugly. A final decision regarding the case isn't expected until early 2017.
