An inspired first half display by an under pressure Arsenal side was enough to see off London rivals Watford as they put the game to bed in the opening 45 minutes.
Sanchez and Özil tear Watford apart in dominating opening to the game for Arsenal
With just a week remaining of the transfer window, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had been once again criticised by fans for a lack of incoming activity. Following just a point from their opening two games the pressure was growing on the Gunners, whilst Watford manager Walter Mazzarri was also seeking his first three points of his Premier League career.
Arsenal did not look like a fearful side though in the opening stages as they dominated possession in a confident manner. It took just eight minutes for the first opportunity to arise for the visitors as Nordin Amrabat clattered into Alexis Sanchez following a Mesut Özil cross. Santi Cazorla stepped up and duly gave Arsenal an early advantage.
The game began to flow from one end of the pitch to the other, as Theo Walcott saw an effort saved by Heurelho Gomes, whilst Laurent Koscielny almost caught his own goalkeeper off guard following a dangerous deflection. Yet Arsenal began to step through the gears as a devastating five minutes put the game to bed. Firstly Alexis Sanchez bundled home a Walcott cross to make it 2-0, before Özil headed in a third right on half-time after linking up with Sanchez once more.
Hornets sting back but it's too little too late
The visitors continued the second half as they left the first with some fine passing football, but Watford finally began to grow back into the game. After Hector Bellerin sent an effort crashing wide for the Gunners, Etienne Capoue forced Peter Cech into action. Capoue then saw another effort blocked, before the ball landed at the feet of Roberto Pereyra who grabbed a goal on his debut.
The hosts began to sense an unlikely comeback as Jose Holebas and Odion Ighalo forced Petr Cech into a double save, moments before the latter clipped a bicycle kick over the crossbar. The Czech goalkeeper was busy oncemore as he prevented Pereyra and Ighalo again as the game entered the final ten minutes. Yet despite the late pressure and a penalty appeal against a possible handball off Laurent Koscielny, Arsenal held out for a first victory of the season, whilst Watford will continue to seek such a feat.
Arsenal fans will now keep their eyes peeled for late transfer activity that could include the arrivals of defender Shkodran Mustafi and striker Lucas Perez. Watford followers will hope their side can take an inspired second half display into their upcoming matches, beginning with a game against West Ham after the international break.

Will Facebook Measure Up to Titan Internet IPOs?
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) hype has reached a new status. Today, the world's largest social networking company increased its initial public offering price range to $38, compared to $28-$35 set at the beginning of the month. Shortly following the IPO price hike, Facebook also decided to sell an additional 84 million shares, raising the total to more than 421 million shares. With the IPO finally pricing Thursday evening, how does Facebook stack up against other popular internet names?
The entire offering of Facebook's IPO could raise over $16 billion with shares price at $38 each. At that amount, it would become the third-largest IPO ever on an U.S. exchange, only following Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) at $19.65 billion and General Motors (NYSE:GM) at $18.15 billion. Facebook would also become the largest technology IPO in history. "This is much more a spectacle, a media event and a cultural moment than it is an IPO," said Max Wolff, an analyst at GreenCrest Capital, according to Reuters. "This is not a game of models and fundamentals at this point."
Don't Miss: Is Facebook the New Apple?
Nearly eight years ago, Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) raised $1.67 billion in its IPO, far below Facebook's expected haul. The king of search engines priced its IPO at $85 per share. On the first day of trading, shares closed at $100. Since then, shares have experienced their fair share of ups and downs, but are currently above $600. While Google shares remain above their IPO price, not all recent internet companies have been able to do so.
As the chart above shows, Pandora Media Inc. (NYSE:P) and Zynga Inc. (NASDAQ:ZNGA) shares have both fallen below their IPO price of $16 and $10, respectively. Pandora has dropped almost 30 percent from its IPO in June 2011, while Zynga is down 18 percent from last December. One of the surprising internet companies to trade higher than its IPO price is LinkedIn Corp. (NYSE:LNKD). The professional networking company received an IPO price of $45 in May 2011 and currently trades above $110.
Facebook is on pace for a valuation near $104 billion when it starts trading. In comparison, Google's valuation was only $23 billion when it went public in 2004. Although Facebook is often compared to Google, the two companies could not be more different. Google has a tried and proven advertising system, while Facebook has yet to fully cash-in on its advertising model. Investors buying Facebook shares this week are betting that the company will find a way to monetize its 900-million users more effectively. At a $100 billion valuation, Facebook would trade at almost 27 times 2011 sales, while Google trades at only 5 times. "That hope and potential is exactly why it's potentially a $100 billion deal," said Tim Cunningham at Thornburg Investment Management Inc., according to Bloomberg.
On Tuesday, General Motors added to the Facebook advertising debate by announcing plans to stop advertising on Facebook. America's largest auto maker met with Facebook managers to discuss concerns, but GM was not convinced that paid advertising on the social-media giant's website was beneficial. The move is unlikely to temper demand for Facebook shares though, as Ford (NYSE:F) said it is doing more advertising on Facebook and is using the site as a critical part of the company's media mix.

Does the woman in the picture look like a lethal threat to you?
Yesterday I lived through what had to be one of the more difficult days I've experienced in a lifetime. I spent from early morn till late afternoon waiting to be questioned as a possible juror in a local murder trial.
Why was it so hard? Couple of reasons. The victim was someone I knew very well. Her name was Patricia Cook and she sang on worship team with me for something like two or three years. She was gunned down by a local cop who had a string of excessive force complaints. Full story here.
Just knowing that the trial was upcoming, I was a jury pool member for that time frame, that friends & church members have been subpenaed as witnesses triggered me in a strange funk of mourning and anxiety. By the time I was called into the courtroom in the afternoon for the voir dire process I was a hot mess inside. It didn't help that there were a handful of Quiverfull folks I know that were also part of the one hundred-ish jury pool members. Yes, it took over a hundred people for the court to find people unbiased enough to sit on the jury of twelve.
I let the judge know immediately that I knew the victim very well and wasn't sure I could stomach sitting through the trial as a juror.
Once the defense attorney (with deep connections to the NRA) started questioning those of us in my session one of the first questions asked was that about our thoughts on guns, gun control and the NRA. I watched as the QF and patriarchal people I knew staunchly stated their favorable views about weaponry in the jury waiting room. The defense attorney and I got into a very hostile exchange over the fact that I've been a supporter and volunteer with The Brady Campaign and the Million Mom March for eight years now, that I wanted to see some gun control initiatives in place soon. He kept implying that my answer surely meant I would want to disarm law enforcement as well before I corrected him and said I had no problem with those that needed guns as part of their job having possession of guns. My problem was with the survivalists and doomsday horders and irresponsible from possessing high powered guns that had no real place in polite society.
After standing up to the defense attorney and arguing some with his assumptions about my views I was finally dismissed and left the courtroom feeling most shaky. I trudged out of our beautiful pre-Civil War courthouse and down the street to jury parking before sitting in my car and having a good long hard cry for my friend.The fact that by what the defense was saying it seemed like they were going to frame her murder as a 2nd Amendment rights case, put gun control on trial instead deeply saddens me because they are seeking to ignore what happened to Pat. On the ride home I had to stop and throw up several times because I was still so emotional and triggered.
So what does all of this have to do with guns and fundamentalists? I think it shows a harmful mindset that the patriarchal hold. Especially after hearing about this weekend's tragedy involving a Quiverfull family in New Mexico and December's shooting in Newtown, Connecticut by a home-schooled boy whose mother was a doomsday prepper.
This weekend's murder of Pastor Greg Griego, his wife and three of his ten children highlights the terrible dichotomy of Fundamental Christianity and keeping an arsenal of weapons unlocked and freely available to any member of the family that might want to, oh, perhaps murder a lot of people.
The shooter, Pastor Griego's son 15 year old Nehemiah Griego, told the police that he'd planned to go to a local Wal Mart in their area of Albuquerque, New Mexico and start randomly shooting people in the parking lot.What's someone remembered as a caring family man and gentle pastor from Calvary Albuquerque doing with assault weapons and what was described by the police as 'multiple weapons'? The Patriarchy mindset of us against the evil world likely. Like these idiots. Dad stockpiled all those weapons against the government and world. Why didn't he lock them up is beyond me. What he preparing for an invasion of black helicopters and federal forces to force him to pray to Satan or something? The amount of weapons and types seem like overkill.
And why did his son kill his family? Nehemiah stated to the police that he was 'frustrated' and had words with his mother. Frustrated is not something accepted from the kids in fundy circles. I'm betting his rebellion against his mom and whatever they were fighting about seemed about a million times worse to the kid, considering he was likely raised in an environment where he was taught to always be cheerful and express no negative emotions. You wind anyone up tightly with no healthy outlet for their own feelings and tragedies like this happen.
The media covering this awful murder has missed the boat on the fact that the family is clearly Quiverfull and that they came from a spiritually abusive fundamentalist church. They seem to think bad seed snapped. Which could be. But from here it looks like rebellion against a life time of spiritual abuse. It's tragic, no matter what it is.
In the coming years Patriarchy is going to have to rethink their position on guns or we're going to keep seeing so-called normal kids turned into murderers. Own guns if you like, but for the safety of everyone else please, please keep them under lock and key.
What type of God requires his followers to be armed to the teeth prepared to murder other humans? For the life of me I cannot understand how the Bible and faith leads someone to be so ready to break one of the ten commandments so readily.
I'm still shaking.

Someone will say, "Right this way, sir".
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2017...
The president responded by citing what he calls "such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help". "They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort".
Speaking at a hotel a few blocks from the White House, Trump mentioned that Puerto Rico's electrical grid and infrastructure had been in poor shape beforehand, saying, "we're literally starting from scratch". "I'm begging anyone who can hear us to save us from dying".
On top of all the problems Puerto Rico is experiencing because of Maria, it's bracing for more bad weather this weekend.
"The Fake News Networks are working overtime in Puerto Rico doing their best to take the spirit away from our soldiers and first R's".
But many remain desperate for necessities, most urgently water, long after the September 20 hurricane.
"I can't help but see so much of the criticism of the president".
The caregiver invited Lalo to come back to visit again in the future, so she and the residents can thank him once more.
His remarks were in a series posts on Twitter, just as on Saturday morning when Trump first unleashed attacks on his critics in Puerto Rico from his New Jersey golf resort.
She has been working 24/7.
The president also hashtagged his tweets with #PRStrong and a Puerto Rican. "But what I will tell you is that we are mobilizing and marshaling the resources of the United States of America in a way that is absolutely professional, fast and adequate to meet the needs". "I wasn't saying anything nasty about the president".
"I think that there's kind of two responses I'd have to that", he said. But he warned that the U.S. Congress would need to help rebuild the island.
"This is a time when everyone shows their true colors", she added.
"I will do what I never thought I was going to do", Cruz said in a press conference Friday afternoon.
That drew a sharp rebuke from San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, who told CNN, "This is a people-are-dying story".
Cruz's comments on Friday were in response to a senior US official calling the disaster response in Puerto Rico "a good news story". When you are drinking from a creek, it's not a good-news story.
Ricardo A. Rossello, the governor of Puerto Rico, said Sunday that a surge of fuel and food supplies and federal government personnel has begun to arrive in the territory. "And I can not fathom the thought that the greatest nation in the world can not figure out logistics for a small island of 100 miles by 35 miles long", Cruz said Friday.
Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez on Friday broke down in tears while describing the dire situation in Puerto Rico and sharply criticized President Donald Trump for his administration's response so far to the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
Tensions Arising on How UK Should Exit EU
Mrs May told BBC 1's Andrew Marr Show: "Boris is absolutely behind the Florence speech and the line that we have taken". But former party chairman Grant Shapps said there was no way Mrs May could take the party into electoral battle again.

Becoming a Community Shares Practitioner
Community Shares Practitioners are assessed and accredited at two levels.
Registered practitioners are deemed competent to provide community shares advice, guidance and mentoring to new and established community enterprises.
Licensed practitioners are additionally accredited to conduct Community Shares Standard Mark assessments on behalf of the CSU.
To become a registered practitioner, you must successfully complete a peer review of a community share offer, using the Standard Mark assessment framework.
To become a licensed practitioner, you must successfully complete a community shares client assignment, by providing support to a society developing a share offer, culminating in the assessment and award of the Standard Mark. Your work will be supervised by the CSU, who will be responsible for the final assessment and award of the Standard Mark. You are also required to write a case study of your work with the society, which will be assessed by the CSU. As a newly licensed practitioner, you must then complete a probationary period, successfully completing three further assessments, before you are able to award the Standard Mark yourself.
Following this:
- The CSU will periodically spot-check Standard Mark assessments to ensure that practitioner standards remain high.
- The practitioner must receive a signed 'Code of Practice for Societies' before they award the Standard Mark and they must send a copy of this to the CSU.
- Once licensed, the practitioner should inform the CSU of all Standard Marks that they award.
Licensed practitioners undergo training and assessment as Standard Mark assessors, and are required to adopt ethical principles and a code of practice, enclosed within the Standard Mark Information Pack. Licensed practitioners may be commissioned to assess the share offer of a society, using assessment templates and methodologies developed by the CSU.
The CSU is responsible for vetting the Standard Mark assessments made by licensed practitioners. It does this using a variety of techniques, including routine monitoring of awards, spot checks, peer review comparisons of share offers and by giving the public the right to make queries and complaints about share offers bearing the Mark. The CSU retains the right to remove the Standard Mark from offers that do not meet its standards, subject to a negotiated review of the offer. It also retains the right to remove the licence of practitioners who breach the following ethical principles and code of practice.

To convert Milliamps (mA) to Amps is fairly easy and only takes basic mathematical knowledge.
mA is short for milliamps. There are 1000 milliamps in 1 amp.
You could also write or type it out and then just move the decimal place over 3 spaces.
If you want to convert from mA to A, multiply by 1000.
If you want to convert from A to mA, divide by 1000.
For example:
1 mA = 0.001 Amp (A)
10 mA = 0.01 Amp (A)
100 mA = 0.1 Amp (A)
1000 mA = 1 Amp (A)
Did you know the ampere, often shortened to "amp", is the base unit of electric current?

I'd like to create a report that goes through all Sessions/PCs in a folder, and checks to see if a file exists on the remote PC (using a PowerShell command).
Can you create a custom report like this? I noticed the attached Report/PowerShell 'undocumented feature'. Would this help?
The same with checking the latest hotfix on each PC. Execute this command on each PC; Get-HotFix -Description "Security*" | sort installedon | Select-Object -Last 1
For now it's not possible to execute the PowerShell on each PC. It's only executed locally with the computer list in RDM. For example you could list all the machine with a specific tag.
David Hervieux
Couldn't you execute the PowerShell script locally, but call the remote PC as an argument? Like; Get-Hotfix can have -ComputerName as a parameter. So couldn't you pass $connection as the ComputerName? How can you display/add different columns in the report?
I have this working quite well now;
Foreach($connection in $Report.Connections) {
if( ($connection.ConnectionType -eq "VNC") -or ($connection.ConnectionType -like "*RDP*") ) { if ( Test-Connection -ComputerName $connection.Host -Count 1 -Quiet ) { $m = Get-HotFix -ComputerName $connection.Host -ID "KB4343887" | Measure-Object if ($m.Count -gt 0) { $Report.Include($connection); } } }}
If we could populate a column, that would be impressive. I could instead list all the computers and what the most recent KBxxxxxx Security Update was installed.
I will add the feature request for the custom header column. It's a good idea.
By the way, great usage of the report.

How Can I Get Some Songs in a Category to Schedule More Than Others?
Short answer: with a simple trick. First, Music 1 was designed so that all songs within each category get the same amount of play. If you want 45 spins a week on your Hot Hits, Music 1 delivers 45 for every song in the category. The trick is: You could "packet" single songs. Music 1 doesn't allow duplicates of song cards (same artist/same title) so you can't add a song twice to a category. But, you could create a "category" with only that song in it and then add that single-song category back into the master category as a packet. If you add the packet twice, then that song would receive twice the number of spins as the others in the category.
Getting Fewer Spins With Hour Restrictions In the Pro edition, if you hour-restrict some songs, they will naturally get less play.
Example: -Hot Hits rotation has been set for 45 spins per week. -One song in Hot Hits is restricted for no-play between 6a and noon so that song will get about 35 spins each week because it is not allowed to schedule in 1/4 of the hours of the the broadcast days.
Primary Way To Use Packets: If you want some songs to get less play, with the Pro edition you can create "packets" and then put the packets into the master category. Example: -Rock station is playing 35 songs by the Stones in category: Power Classics -Music director decides 20 of the songs should get less play than the 15 Big Ones. -Music director creates a category named "Stones Pak" and puts 20 songs into it -Music director then adds the Stones Pak into the Power Classics category as a packet -the songs within "Stones Pak" will then get 1/20th the amount of airplay as the 15 big ones. -Music director may decide that is too few spins, so he add the Stones Pak five times, then he is scheduling 20 by the Stones within his Power Classics; 15 Big Ones and 5 from within the packet. Al
This is a simple and straight-forward way to do it and it is the only way to maintain control and consistency of song spins and reliable placement of all songs through the dayparts.

1.3: Properties of Genes
- Page ID
- 304
Genes are on Chromosomes
In 1902, Sutton and Boveri independently realized that the behavior of genes in Mendelian crosses mimics the movement of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization. They surmised that the two alleles of each gene correlated with the homologous pair of chromosomes. The equal segregation of alleles could be explained by the separation of homologous chromosomes at anaphase I of meiosis. As diagrammed in Figure 1.3, the chromosome with the R allele would go to a different cell than its homolog with the r allele at the end of meiosis I, and likewise for the Yand y alleles. The rejoining of alleles corresponded to the joining of chromosomes, one from each parent, at fertilization. The independent assortment of different genes mimics the independent separation of homologs of different chromosomes in meiosis. For instance, the paternal copy of chromosome 1 may assort with the maternal copy of chromosome 21 in formation of a gamete. Figure 1.3 shows the dark blue chromosome with the R allele assorting with the light red chromosome with the yallele, but it is equally likely that it will assort with the dark red chromosome with the Yallele. As shown in Figure 1.4, the completion of meiosis results in 4 germ cells for each cell that entered meiosis. All the combinations of alleles of different genes diagrammed in Figure 1.2 can be formed in this process.
This correlation of the behavior of alleles in matings and the movement of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization produced the chromosomal theory of inheritance. One could think of the alleles discerned in genetic crosses as being located at the same locus on the different homologs of a chromosome.
Figure 1.3. Movement of chromosomes during meiosis I, the first divisional process of meiosis. The chromosomes are drawn starting after the synthesis of a copy of each homologous chromosome, so there are two copies of each homolog of a chromosome pair. The two DNA duplexes for each homolog are joined at a single centromere. Meiosis is the process of segregating these four copies of each chromosome (4 alleles for each gene) into four germ cells with one copy of each chromosome. In this diagram, two different chromosome pairs are displayed with each homolog colored a different shade (dark or light red for the shorter chromosome, dark or light blue for the longer chromosome). Each line is a duplex DNA molecule. The R locus is on the longer blue chromosome, with distinctive alleles for each homolog, and the Ylocus is on the shorter red chromosome, again with distinctive alleles for each homolog. Meiosis begins with the leptotene, when the chromosomes become visible as long filaments. The two homologous chromosomes undergo synapsis during zygotene, in which they align along their lengths. The chromosomes become shorter and thicker during pachytene, and crossovers between chromatids of the two different homologs form. The chromosomes start to pull apart in diplotene, at which point the crossovers in chiasmata are visible. The chromosomes shorten further during diakinesis. During metaphase, the chromosomes align along the equatorial plane of the cell, i.e. the plane in which cell division will occur. The nuclear membrane is disassembled at this point. The members of a homologous pair move to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase. This is the cytological even that accounts for the equal segregation of alleles. Note that the centromeres do not separate during anaphase I, and the two sister chromatids stay together. The crossovers are also resolved at this stage. In some organisms, the nuclear membrane reforms during a telophase of meiosis I, followed by cell division and an interphase I.
Figure 1.4. Movement of chromosomes during meiosis II, the second divisional process of meiosis. The chromosomes, each with two sister chromatids linked at the centromere, contract and become visible during prophase II. The nuclear membrane disassembles and chromosomes align along the equatorial plane during metaphase II. The centromeres divide and the chromosomes separate during anaphase II. The nuclear membrane reforms during telophase II, and after cell division, a tetrad with one of each chromosome is produced. If the dark blue chromosome had assorted with the dark red chromosome during anaphase I, the resulting spores would be R Y and r y.
Linked genes lie along chromosomes in a linear array
The proponents of the chromosome theory of heredity realized that that the number of genes would probably greatly exceed the number of chromosomes. However, many early genetic studies showed independent assortment between genes with no evidence of linkage. This led to a proposal that a chromosome broke down during meiosis into smaller parts consisting only of individual genes, but such disassembly of chromosomes during meiosis was never observed. Evidence for linkage did eventually come from a demonstration of the absence of independent assortment between different genes. In complementary work, McClintock and Creighton demonstrated an association between different genes and a particular chromosome in 1931.
The behavior of two genes carried on the same chromosome may deviate from the predictions of Mendel's 2nd law. The proportion of parental genotypes in the F2 may be greater than expected because of a reduction in nonparental genotypes. This propensity of some characters to remain associated instead of assorting independently is called linkage. When deduced from studies of a population, it is called linkage disequilibrium. Figure 1.5. illustrates a cross that shows linkage.
Figure 1.5.Linkage and recombination between genes on the same chromosome.
An F1 heterozygote (AaBb) is made by crossing a homozygous dominant parent (AABB) with a homozygous recessive parent (aabb). A backcross is then made between the F1 heterozygote (AaBb) and a recessive homozygote (aabb), so that the alleles of the recessive parent make no contribution to the phenotype of the progeny. (This is a fairly common cross in genetics, since the genotype of an individual can be ascertained by crossing with such an individual, homozygous recessive at both loci.)
- As shown in part A of Figure 1.5, if there is no linkage, one expects 50% parental phenotypes (from genotypes AaBb and aabb) and 50% nonparental phenotypes (from genotypes Aabband aaBb). This fits with the expectations of Mendel's law of independent assortment of different genes for this backcross. (Sometimes the nonparental phenotypes are called "recombinant" but that confuses this reassortment with events that involve crossovers in the DNA.)
- If the two genes are linked and there is no recombination between them, then all progeny will have a parental phenotype. In particular, if genes A and B are linked, then the backcross AB/ab x ab/ab yields AB/ab progeny 50% of the time and ab/ab progeny 50% of the time, in the absence of recombination. [In this notation, the alleles to the left of the slash (/) are linked on one chromosome and the alleles to the right of the slash are linked on the homologous chromosome.] Thus only the parental phenotypes are found in the progeny of this cross (i.e. the progeny will show either the dominant characters at each locus or the recessive characters at each locus). Another way of looking at this is that, in the absence of recombination between the homologous chromosomes, all the progeny of this cross will be one of the first two types shown in panel B of Figure 1.5.
- Note that the dominant alleles can be in the opposite phase, with the dominant Aallele linked to the recessive b allele. For instance, the F1 heterozygote could be formed by a cross between the parents Ab/Aband aB/aBto generate Ab/aB. In this case, the backcross Ab/aBx ab/ab will still generate only progeny with parental phenotypes but a new, nonparental genotype (i.e. Ab/aband aB/ab; these look like the parents Ab/Ab and aB/aB). The phase with both dominant alleles on the same chromosome is called the "coupling conformation", whereas the opposite phase is called the "repulsing conformation."
- But in most cases, recombination can occur between linked genes. In part B of Figure 1.5, there is an increase in parental types (from the 50% expected for unlinked genes to the observed 70%) and a decreasein nonparental types (30%), showing that allele Atends to stay with allele B, in contrast to the prediction of the 2nd law. Thus these genes are not assorting independently, and one concludes there is linkage between genes Aand B.
The frequency of parental types is not as high as expected for linkage without recombination (which would have been 100%, as discussed above). Indeed, the nonparental types in this experiment result from a physical crossover (breaking and rejoining) between the two homologous chromosomes during meiosis in the AB/ab parent. This is a recombination event in the DNA.
(5) We conclude that genes A and Bare linked, and have a recombination frequency of 30%.
map distance = x 100
1 map unit = 1 centiMorgan = 1% recombination
1 centiMorgan = 1 cM = about 1 Mb for human chromosomes
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
In their genetic studies of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, Thomas Hunt Morgan and his co-workers found many examples of genes that associated together in groups. One example is the gene for purple eye color (the mutant allele is abbreviated pr) that is recessive to the allele for normal red eyes (pr+) and the gene for vestigial, or shortened, wings (the mutant allele is abbreviated vg) that is recessive to the normal allele for long wings (vg+). When a homozygous purple vestigialfly is crossed to a homozygous red-eyed long-winged fly, the heterozygous F1 generation shows a normal phenotype. When male heterozygotes are backcrossed to females that are homozygous purple vestigial (i.e. homozygous recessive at both loci), only two phenotypes appear in the progeny: the homozygous recessive purple vestigialflies and the normal flies.
- What are the predictions of the backcross if the two genes are not linked?
- What do the results of the backcross tell you?
- If the heterozygotes F1 in the backcross are female, then purple long-winged and red-eyed vestigialflies appear in the progeny. The combined frequency of these recombinant types is 15.2 %. What does this tell you about the arrangement of the genes?
- Answer
Question 1.5 provides some practice in calculating recombination frequencies.
Individual map distances are (roughly) additive
The recombination distances are not strictly additive if multiple crossovers can occur (see questions 1.6 and 1.7.) Recombination between linked genes occurs by the process of crossing over between chromosomes, at chiasma during meiosis. The mechanism of recombination is considered in Chapter 8.

CATHERINE ROBERTO-KARAS is not sure if the cream she dabs onto her face every evening — Clarins Gentle Night Cream for sensitive skin — erases wrinkles or leaves her skin looking any younger. She just knows that she doesn't want to go to sleep without it.
"It's totally psychological," said Ms. Roberto-Karas, 39, who works in information technology in Manhattan. "I don't see any direct effect the next day, but I still feel that maybe it does something. I use it because I was told by my older sister, who is a fanatic about trying to keep as youthful as possible, that I should."
Ms. Roberto-Karas is among the many women who choose to invert their wallets, and pay from a few up to hundreds of dollars to slather on night creams, rather than sleep naked-faced. Their enthusiasm for smoothing and softening skin, bleaching sun spots and minimizing wrinkles has helped drive the sales of some $437 million in facial anti-aging skin care products last year — a 45.7 percent jump from 2003 — and an additional $268 million on facial moisturizers, two categories that include night creams, according to the market research firm Mintel International Group.
Among the deluge of new night creams are Nivea Visage Q10 Advanced Wrinkle Reducer Night Creme ($10.99) and Vichy LiftActiv Night Intensive Detoxifying Firming Care ($30), which are sold in drugstores; Avon Ageless Results Overnight Renewing Cream ($14.50), which can be ordered online; Kinerase Pro PlusTherapy Ultra Rich Night Repair ($149), sold by doctors; and Chanel Sublimage Essential Regenerating Cream ($350) and Lancôme Absolue Night Premium Bx Absolute Night Recovery Cream ($132), available in department stores. TESS, a new skin care line made specifically for teens that is sold at Sephora, even produces two vanilla-scented nighttime moisturizers ($20).
Considering the benefits that many night creams claim to offer, it's easy to see their appeal. They promise not only to moisturize skin during sleep, but to neutralize damaging free radicals, improve skin tone and texture, firm up sagginess, minimize wrinkles and lines, or wipe out mottling and sun spots.Continue reading the main story
But dermatologists say that many night creams do not offer much value, especially given the substantial investment required for so many of them. Is glopping something onto your face really any better than allowing your skin to breathe while you rest?
And how do you sift through the many products, when so little sound and unbiased information is available?
Some women feel so overwhelmed by the myriad choices of ingredients and formulations that they abandon night creams altogether, choosing instead to sleep bare-faced.
"I think it's all a little bit too confusing," said Kelly Ginsberg, 35, of Rye, N.Y., who doesn't bother with a night cream. "I mean, there's a million of them. I don't have enough time to pay attention to what they all do, what they clear up."
Nighttime treatments may represent more of a marketing triumph than a skin care essential, though some products may be helpful, "You have a lot of very high-priced night creams that really don't have any bang for a buck," said Dr. Patricia K. Farris, a New Orleans dermatologist. "They're basically just expensive, nicely packaged moisturizer."
For the most part, there's no magic in the night that warrants using a special cream, according to Dr. Leslie Baumann, professor of dermatology at the University of Miami and author of "The Skin Type Solution" (Bantam, 2006). "You'll hear companies say that your skin rejuvenates itself at night, or it does these special processes that it doesn't do in the day, and there's no proof of that at all," she said.
Yet some anti-aging ingredients, like retinol, are inactivated by the sun, so it makes good sense to wear them while you sleep, said Dr. Baumann, who has served on the advisory boards or been a paid consultant to many companies, including Avon, Aveeno and Neutrogena. Conversely, there's little point in applying a sunscreen-laden product in the evening, when a visit from Mr. Sandman is the closest you'll get to a beach.
But according to dermatologists, there can still be benefits to moisturizing and treating the skin at night. Many night creams contain compounds known to improve the skin's appearance in measurable ways. Peptides — found in Rodan and Fields Anti-Age P.M. Cream ($90) — are known to rev up the production of collagen, boosting firmness and smoothing wrinkles. Vitamin C — contained in Neutrogena Healthy Skin Visibly Even Night Concentrate ($11.75) — has been identified as an essential factor needed by the skin to make collagen.
By halting damage caused by the sun, antioxidants like idebenone, vitamin E, coenzyme Q and green tea may help prevent new wrinkles from forming, Dr. Baumann said. Ingredients like ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol help trap in moisture and repair the skin's protective barrier, while salicylic acid, feverfew, chamomile and aloe vera can help soothe an irritated or inflamed complexion, she said.
Hydroquinone (which the Food and Drug Administration has said may not be safe in over-the-counter products), kojic acid and the extracts of cucumber, licorice or mulberry alleviate blotching and spotting, as does a new glucosamine compound in Olay Definity Intense Hydrating Cream ($27.99), a formula many women use at night because it is creamy.
Retinol, found in L'Oréal's Advanced RevitaLift Night Cream ($16.59) and several other products, is perhaps the most highly regarded ingredient available without a prescription. "It's the only thing that treats wrinkles you already have," Dr. Baumann said.
To work, a cream must contain active ingredients in a sufficient concentration. Ingredients must also penetrate the skin and stay there long enough to have an effect. "It's sort of like if you need a blood transfusion and I'm just going to lay the blood across the top of your skin and say, 'Good luck, let's hope it gets where it needs to go,' " said Dr. Sandra Read, a Washington dermatologist. "It's not going to do any good."
Inexpensive brands backed by large companies, like Neutrogena, L'Oréal, Revlon, Olay, Dove, Pond's and Aveeno, often have the resources to perform scientific studies to identify an effective formula and prove that it works, Dr. Baumann said. "The cheaper products are better than the expensive ones when it comes down to it, because they have better research and better ingredients," she said.
But devotees like Staci Alfano, 35, of Jersey City, say that a night cream's price tag is part of its appeal. "It almost feels like the more money you pay for it, the more you feel like it's working," she said. Indeed, smothering one's face in Chanel's softly-scented Sublimage cream is not unlike the luxury of slipping one's toes into a new pair of Manolo Blahniks — and the $350 cost can be hundreds less than the shoe price.
Wearing any night cream requires patience —"Eight weeks is not an unreasonable amount of time to expect to see an improvement," Dr. Read said — but women tend to lose interest quickly.
"I find that I switch on and off a lot, because there's always something new or better," Ms. Alfano said.
For many women, sleeping bare-faced is perfectly acceptable, Dr. Baumann said. "A lot of patients say, 'I just feel terrible, because all I've done my whole life is use Dove soap and sunscreen,' " she said. "I smile because they've actually done a lot more for their skin than somebody buying a $300 night cream and not wearing sunscreen every day."Continue reading the main story

Psalm 52:8 – But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever.
Lord God, more and more I find my footings and set down my roots in you and less and less I set my foundation in this world. More and more you show me how foolish it is to set down roots in anything temporary. It's foolish to trust in people because they will turn on you and at their very best they will still let you down. It's foolish to set down roots in property or possessions because they will fade away and at their very best they only give temporary pleasure. It's foolish to chase after and to try to hold a kingdom here because it isn't really mine. God, more and more I see how foolish it is. Forgive me for holding on to these things as they were what really mattered. And, then, dear Father, teach me to set down my roots in your kingdom, a kingdom that will never be toppled and will never be felled. Teach me to find my footing in your power, your love, and your grace. Then no one will be able to pull me up by the roots. No, rooted in you I will never be uprooted. Your steadfast and faithful love is what holds me fast. Keep me safe, O God. Root me in you more and more, O Savior. Change my heart more and more, O Spirit. Then I will not fall and I will not be uprooted. Amen.

Following the sacking of Australian Rick Stone in March when the club were sitting in 11th place in the Betfred Super League, Huddersfield Giants have announced the appointment of former Canberra player Simon Woolford – a move that has been strongly rumoured for the past week or so.
He played for twelve years with the Raiders and had fourteen seasons at hooker in the NRL but this is his first head coach job at a top tier club. He was, however, suspended for nine months in 2015 following breaking the window of the coaching box when coaching in the Canberra Rugby League. Later, that was overturned and reduced to a suspended three month sentence.
Speaking of his new role, the 43 year old Australian said "it seemed like a natural fit for me, it seemed like a great opportunity." He is still awaiting a visa for his move to the northern hemisphere so interim head coach Chris Thorman is likely to stay in charge for next weekend's fixture against Widnes Vikings.
The Giants currently sit bottom of the Super League table following four losses and a draw in their last five matches, Catalans overtaking them and jumping up from 12th place following their narrow 25-24 victory over Hull FC on Saturday.

EMDR is an extremely powerful and effective integrative therapy that uses a specific protocol to reduce emotional and physical distress. The distress may be related to memories, adverse life experiences or traumas that have occurred at any time throughout your life. EMDR allows the opportunity for healing at the deepest roots and helps to increase self-awareness while offering a renewed perspective on the present moment.
Since I began integrating EMDR into my clinical practice, it has transformed my work. I have been especially inspired by the power of EMDR when a person feels a deeper sense of emotional freedom and increased self-acceptance both internally and externally. This authentic self-acceptance and awareness creates a deeper connection to the core of their being as well as a sense of balance and peace within. The process allows you to not only heal, but to grow, change and feel better than imagined.
I can personally attest to the power of EMDR from both sides of the couch. After completing my first EMDR intensive training, I searched for an EMDR therapist as I was amazed by the process. Prior to EMDR therapy, I had debilitating performance anxiety. I realized through the training that I was operating out of old, stuck, negative cognitions and feedback loops in my brain that were related to my past, and were literally holding me back in my life.
I am now able to give presentations without physically shaking, a racing heart, a red face, nausea, intense fear and a near panic attack. It really has been life changing. For those I have had the privilege to support through the EMDR therapy process, I have been able to witness healing over and over again, which is truly inspiring.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR was developed by Francine Shapiro in 1987 and is administered through an eight-phase process. Here is where it can get technical, making it a little tricky to explain, but I wanted to help to clarify some elements of EMDR therapy as so many people ask me what it's like during certain parts of the process.
The eye movements create bilateral stimulation of the brain. You work with a specific distressing memory, body sensations and emotions that the memory brings up for you and how the memory makes you feel about yourself. These experiences from the memories may have made you feel, for example, not good enough, like you had to be perfect, or as though you are not in control. These are all examples of negative cognitions which essentially get stuck and create negative feedback loops internally, making it difficult to move forward.
The bilateral stimulation that occurs with the eye movements begins to reprocess those memories in order to desensitize to them. This essentially frees the emotional and physical distress related to the memory. After working through the distressing memories, a positive cognition is installed, creating a healthier outlook on your experience.
I will try to explain this using an example of when I reprocessed a memory related to my performance anxiety. While I was thinking of a distressing memory, I tuned into the uncomfortable emotions it brought up (embarrassed, worried, frustrated) and the uncomfortable body sensations (feeling hot, my heart racing, nausea). I simultaneously brought up how this made me feel about myself, or my negative cognition, which was: I am inadequate. The therapist asked me how distressing this felt on a 0-10 scale.
While sitting with all of that discomfort, I watched the therapist's fingers go back and forth for about 30 seconds. She asked me to just notice whatever comes up during that time. She would stop, and I would tell her what came up. Then she instructed me to "go with that," meaning now focus on whatever it was that came up for me. For example, I remembered my hands shaking, my mind going blank and the look on the people's faces at the very beginning of this particular presentation. While sitting with that experience, she administered the eye movements again. This was repeated several times.
Amazingly, after about ten sets of intense discomfort, I started to feel less discomfort. I even had some positive thoughts come up and felt more at ease. When I would focus on the positive thoughts, more positive thoughts and feelings arose. While my distress did not completely go away in one experience, it did reduce enough to notice an immediate impact.
After several memories that reinforced my negative cognition were worked through, I was able to create a new template for how I view myself. This has increased my self-compassion. Now when I give a presentation, my old baggage from those memories does not show up! It really has been life changing.
This is one example of just a part of the EMDR therapy process. I wanted to offer this glimpse into the process as it can be difficult to understand, but know that there is so much more. If you would like to learn more about the technicality, the science, research and more specifically about the eight phases of EMDR, I invite you visit the website: www.EMDRIA.org.
EMDR therapy has improved the lives of so many who have struggled with memories and experiences far more intense and challenging to cope with than my example. For those who have PTSD, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, eating disorders or anyone who feels as though they are operating out of old, stuck negative beliefs about themselves, EMDR may be a useful and valuable therapeutic technique.
If you are considering EMDR therapy and have any further questions at all, or if you are in the New York City area and would like to schedule a session, feel free to contact me today.

We were lucky enough to have the very talented Fran Miller taking over our Instagram account few months ago. For those who missed it in real time, here are the pics she published on Salt Water.
This is Tim and he is a local at Snapper Rocks. He is one of the smoothest surfers out there, with very classic styling. His energy always seems to flow perfectly with the ocean. The cutback is one of the most beautiful moves in surfing. As you feel yourself leaving the energy source of the wave, you carve back towards the power of the wave and it propels you again with its force. The connection between human and ocean is part of the lifeblood of surfing.
This shot of Leah Dawson was quite well publicised a few years back. To me, the bottom turn is the most important turn in surfing, and Leah performed this one in Canggu to a level beyond perfection. Poise, power, drive and balance. The bottom turn is the foundation of high level surfing. When I see a perfect bottom turn, I just know that whatever comes next is going to be great, whether it's a highline trim or a big powerful carve.
At this secret spot, the water is warm, the wave barrels perfectly, and the crowds don't exist...
Pipeline is no secret spot. It is the spot of all spots. The locals were saying this was one of the best swells in 40 years. I have never seen such a high level of surfing as I saw on this day. I find Pipeline to be a terrifying wave. It is catastrophically powerful, and not every wave breaks mechanically. As the sun set that evening, it left a soft glow of light over the darkness of the wave. It was quite an emotive moment, contrasting the gentle beauty of a sunset with the deadly cylindrical wave and the warriors that were riding it.
I knew this sunset was coming. The waves were quite average this afternoon. In fact, there was absolutely nobody out in the lineup before, during or after our session. I asked Fil and Nathan to come out anyway, because I could just sense it was going to be good. They looked at me quite oddly as we were getting prepared to go out because I was so excited even though the light was grey and uninspiring to start with, and it was also blistering cold. It was one of the most magnificent sunsets I have ever witnessed, and we remember it fondly still for all of the reasons above.
I wonder if it's a trend but the waves were quite average in Byron Bay on this day too when Roisin Carolan and I enjoyed this sunset that we refer to as the Southern Lights. It was a fireball unlike anything we had ever seen. It burned the whole sky for 15 minutes, which is quite a long time for a sunset and there was a lot of the classic red and orange in it. I remember I had been swimming taking photos of Roisin before the sunset. Naturally, as it started to appear, I had no option but to take these photos lying down in my wet wetsuit. It would have been an entertaining sight. A mesmerizing sunset and a floundering photographer capturing it rolling around like a beached seal on the beach.
This is Muklis Anwar and he is one of the best surfers out of Indonesia. Sometimes I think people assume that I only shoot logging since it is a form of surfing I have committed a lot of time and energy too. But the truth is, my hand and camera has been barrelled more times than I have surfing! And I have taken a lot of lips to the head and reef kisses whilst putting myself into critical positions to capture images like this. I love this perspective. It is everything I want to see. Close to the power of the wave. A view down the line with excited expectation of what's to come. And beautiful back light to show the colours of the water. And you just know Muklis got really, really barrelled!
A different day and perspective, but the same wave and person. I think this picture says it all. Muklis is A-OK.
Belinda Baggs is grace personified. She is humble and soft, but surfs with delicate purpose. Ivy Thomas is looking on over the shoulder as Bindy, for want of a better word, dominated this session. All eyes were on her and you can see why.
Feel the energy of the ocean and let it consume you. This photo of Ivy Thomas was taken on a shoot for Rhythm Girls, and it is one of my favourite pictures. The subtle morning light. The trim line. The reflection in the water. The puff of whitewater in the wind. You can't see Ivy's face, but you know she is smiling. This is surfing.

The budget plan released by the Governor's office contains an ill-advised idea: sell off dollars that come in to the Children's Initiatives Fund (CIF) from a settlement with tobacco companies to help close a self-inflicted budget gap. Not only would this move shortchange Kansas kids, but it is extremely risky and would add even more to the state's current debt load for those same kids in the future.
Securitization, or selling off dollars that Kansas receives from tobacco companies each year, is not sound fiscal policy. It would further jeopardize Kansas' already unstable finances by increasing the likelihood for another credit rating downgrade, the fourth since the tax plan began. Other states, like New Jersey, have securitized their tobacco settlement money and were given a credit downgrade almost immediately after doing so. Only ahead of three other states, Kansas' current credit rating is already in the bottom range of the nation.
The tax plan adopted in 2012-2013 has thrown our state into a perpetual budget mess, and securitizing the CIF would add another disastrous layer to our financial crisis by possibly adding hundreds of millions in debt to the state. New Jersey, along with Ohio, have huge debt obligations from securitizing their settlement money; Ohio's sale of tobacco payments got them almost $320 million in quick cash, but when the repayment on these bonds comes due they'll have to repay $6.6 billion in total. That's over twenty times the amount they originally received.
In the governor's latest budget proposal, we learned that Kansas' experience would be similar to that of New Jersey and Ohio. The securitization deal that the administration outlined assumes a $530 million payment for a 30-year bond. The state received its first tobacco settlement payment in 2000, and in the last 16 years has received over $975 million. Even as payments decline over time with the smoking rate, it's likely that we'd be leaving billions of dollars on the table for quick cash now that does nothing to fix the problems caused by the tax plan.
Finally, this proposal is just another ploy to add to a long list of gimmicks – sweeps from the highway fund, cuts to essential public health and education services, and many other small tricks – used to paper over a budget shortfall caused solely by irresponsible tax policy. Securitization will not fix the problem but it will kick the can down the road for future generations – the same ones being shortchanged in this plan.
The only realistic and responsible way to fix the mess caused by the "Kansas Experiment" is through comprehensive tax reform. To learn more about the Rise Up Kansas tax plan, visit www.RiseUpKansas.org. For more information on why Kansas can't afford securitization, read the issue brief here.

Dumaru.Y—Very New and Very Dangerous

- Top Threat
- Security Tip
- Top 10 E-Mail Viruses
- Top 5 Vulnerabilities

Dumaru.YVery New and Very Dangerous
This week's top threat is W32/Dumaru.Y-mm. Discovered on Saturday, Jan 23rd, it jumped from obscurity to one of the top 10 email viruses, Dumaru. Y-mm, like other Dumaru variants is a nasty character. Arriving in a .ZIP attachment promising provocative photos, it uses tricks to mask the true executable file. When victims try to look at the images, they find their machines infected, security products shut down, and more copies of Dumaru.Y being sent to everyone on their address list. Antivirus vendors scrambled to analyze it and by Sunday night most had issued warnings and had added detection to their latest updates. If you haven't updated lately, you should now to avoid this potentially dangerous threat.As a late breaking development, Monday saw another similar strain, W32/Dumaru.Z, as well as another Mimail varient, W32/Mimail.Q-mm. The antivirus vendors are analyzing them currently, and we'll be watching if they develope into a major threat in the week to come.
Last week's Bagle virus is still making waves, especially in the media with the debate over whether it is hype or threat. In terms of distribution, the relatively harmless W32/Bagle.A-mm is the first significant virus of the New Year. While shooting blanks as far as damage to machines, it does mine addresses, and does send out vast quantities of mail, filling up email servers and mail boxes. Industry magazine, Virus bulletin (www.virusbtn.com) noted "At first glance, W32/Bagle.A is not a particularly interesting virus from a technical point of view. Or, indeed, at a second glance." They did say that vendors are suggesting that the expiration date may mean future versions are planned, similar to the Sobig legacy of last year. Though scheduled to die tomorrow, Jan 28th, Bagle infection rates were already slowing down late last week according to MessageLabs and antivirus software vendors.
Other than Bagle and Dumaru.Y, the top ten virus threats according to MessageLabs are still the old favorites, Klez, Sobig, Dumaru.A, Mimail, and Swen. Antivirus vendors track threats based on various input, such as hits by free online scanners, or reporting mechanisms built into corporate and consumer antivirus utilities. Because each vendor uses a different metric, some threats may be more prevalent in one sector than another. We looked at some of the major vendors to see what else they were reporting. TrendMicro reports that WORM_LOVGATE.G, is the top worldwide threat as detected by their Housecall free online virus scanner. McAfee reports JS/NoClose is their top virus tracked by AVERT. JS/NoClose is a JavaScript threat that keeps an Internet Explorer window open, despite attempts to close it. The script is harmless, but irritating. Symantec (SARC) is reporting W32/Bugbear.B at the top of their list. As a risk level 4 (highest is 5), Bugbear.B is widely distributed, and very damaging. Sophos reports Sober.C as the top threat in December 2003. Sometimes a picture is better than words, and several antivirus vendors offer maps and/or graphs showing the state of the threat world. Here are a few daily maps and graphs you may find interesting -- MessageLabs , F-secure, and Panda Software.
TrendMicro is reporting a new Visa phish, HTML_VISAFRAUD.A, which uses the Internet Explorer URL spoof to mask its fake Visa host web site. The pseudo site attempts to trick victims into giving up their credit card information. The e-mail message tells the user they can register for Visa's Zero Liability coverage, which covers them in case of credit card fraud (like phishing). Informed users will know, however, that Visa instituted Zero Liability in April of 2000 as a replacement for the original $50 fraud liability. The coverage is free, and included automatically with the card.
While security is a big concern in the business world, sometimes it spills over into the network gamer world. On Friday Jan 23, Secunia reported a highly critical vulnerability in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit II, a multiplayer network game. An attacker could potentially exploit a "boundary error" in the client causing a buffer overflow and allowing arbitrary code to be run on the user's machine. The work-around is to play only on known secure networks.
Some good news on the fraud front: Security Focus is reporting that the Ohio woman who sent forged mails from "AOL Security" has been sentenced to 46 months in prison. The forged e-mails claimed that the victims' credit cards had failed on the last AOL bill and they needed to re-enter their information. The woman was caught soon after she spammed an off-duty FBI agent in.

We have our wonderful Michelle demonstrating the Double leg Stretch in the video. Hopefully you'll see her teaching soon.
Primary Focus: Stability of Torso
