We report the generation and use of pseudotyped adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors for the liver-specific expression of human blood coagulation factor IX (hFIX). Therefore, an AAV-2 genome encoding the hfIX gene was cross-packaged into capsids of AAV types 1 to 6 using efficient, large-scale technology for particle production and purification. In immunocompetent mice, the resultant vector particles expressed high hFIX levels ranging from 36% (AAV-4) to more than 2000% of normal (AAV-1, -2, and -6), which would exceed curative levels in patients with hemophilia. Expression was dose- and time-dependent, with AAV-6 directing the fastest and strongest onset of hFIX expression at all doses. Interestingly, systemic administration of 2 x 1012 vector particles of AAV-1, -4, or -6 resulted in hFIX levels similar to those achieved by portal vein delivery. For all other serotypes and particle doses, hepatic vector administration yielded up to 84-fold more hFIX protein than tail vein delivery, corroborated by similarly increased vector DNA copy numbers in the liver, and elicited a reduced immune response against the viral capsids. Finally, neutralization assays showed variable immunologic cross-reactions between most of the AAV serotypes. Our technology and findings should facilitate the development of AAV pseudotype-based gene therapies for hemophilia B and other liver-related diseases.

Here I am a long time ago on the family farm with chickens of my very own:
. . . the Bird House was built so as to slide into the bed of a pickup . . .
It's insulated and dry on the chickens' side and of adequate size for a few hens. The pigeons could travel in and out thru the crescent moon. With this much snow, there's no foraging to be enjoyed during the Winter. I'll need a summertime photograph next.
It isn't Summer yet but the snow melted.
A picture of the birds:

Analysts were looking for 1.5%, so this beats expectations. But last quarter's -5.5% has been revised down to -6.4%. That's a bad sign -- we want to see upward revisions.
This is, of course, just the first Q2 reading and we've got several revisions going forward.
Stock futures had been heading higher, but have sold of sharply and are now pointing lower.
From the full release:
The decrease in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected negative contributions from nonresidential fixed investment, personal consumption expenditures (PCE), residential fixed investment, private inventory investment, and exports that were partly offset by positive contributions from federal government spending and state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased. The much smaller decrease in real GDP in the second quarter than in the first primarily reflected much smaller decreases in nonresidential fixed investment, in exports, and in private inventory investment, upturns in federal government spending and in state and local government spending, and a smaller decrease in residential fixed investment that were partly offset by a much smaller decrease in imports and a downturn in PCE.

Today's episode features special guest Denver Jetson
Subject: Processors | March 14, 2017 - 03:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, JetsonTX1, Denver, Cortex A57, pascal, SoC
Amongst the furor of the Ryzen launch the NVIDIA's new Jetson TX2 SoC was quietly sent out to reviewers and today the NDA expired so we can see how it performs. There are more Ryzen reviews below the fold, including Phoronix's Linux testing if you want to skip ahead. In addition to the specifications in the quote, you will find 8GB of 128-bit LPDDR4 offering memory bandwidth of 58.4 GB/s and 32GBs of eMMC for local storage. This Jetson is running JetPack 3.0 L4T based off of the Linux 4.4.15 kernel. Phoronix tested out its performance, see for yourself.
"Last week we got to tell you all about the new NVIDIA Jetson TX2 with its custom-designed 64-bit Denver 2 CPUs, four Cortex-A57 cores, and Pascal graphics with 256 CUDA cores. Today the Jetson TX2 is shipping and the embargo has expired for sharing performance metrics on the JTX2."
Here are some more Processor articles from around the web:

Yeah, they didn't quite make the power or speed goals they claimed. Good improvement, though.
With Nvidia failing in the mobile market, smartphones and tablets, I was expecting them to move Tegra to the mini PCs and desktops. Instead they moved it to autonomus cars. While they are doing a great work there, this little thing could be an excellent little HTPC/gaming system for the living room, if it was priced right.
And that's where Nvidia's biggest problem is. They just REFUSE to create something excellent and low cost at the same time. There biggest nightmare is a product that has low profit margins. Pity.
In any case, Nvidia needs to move Tegra to the desktop at some time in the future. With Microsoft running Windows on Snapdragons, probably this time is not far away. AMD is coming back to life and with the new Zen based APUs the remaining low cost GPU market will be totally erased. Tegras could be the answer for Nvidia, or they will end up selling only hi end graphics cards.
They had volume success with *one* tegra part and they don't seem to want to do that again. I wonder if it was a bad experience for them? You'd think being in a Nexus tablet would have been a positive experience.
I've got four T3's in my house.
They hit volume with the Nintendo Switch, right? And the Shield TV console?
It is to underpowered to be excellent at anything. Pentium G4620 is at least twice the CPU and comparable GPU performance. You can easily build passive HTPC with it.

A number of housing experts anticipate there to be an upswing in activity throughout the industry during the course of 2012. However, as the economy improves at a sluggish pace, creating more safety and soundness for consumers, many of these potential buyers may be hesitant to make major investments, such as purchasing property, MarketWatch reports.
According to the news source, even if there are gains in the home sales rate and property values, they will likely be minimal and at a slow pace.
"Expect the market to improve in the spring, but in baby steps," one expert told MarketWatch. "It's still getting off the crutches and learning to walk again and that process is going to take a good two to three years before the market is on firm footing."
There has been a recent improvement in buyer confidence, but this strengthening sentiment may not necessarily translate into more home sales, as some Americans may not have the available cash to buy property. However, during the first two months of 2012, the pace of existing-home sales reached the highest level recorded in nearly five years. While this is a notable statistic, the rate was still well below where it was at the housing market's peak.

Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens' bikini ride for new film
Spring Breakers stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens were spotted having a lot of fun in the sun as they whizzed around Florida wearing bright bikinis on colourful mopeds.PIC INSIDEhollywood Updated: Mar 15, 2012 14:54 IST
Spring Breakers stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens showed they've been having a lot of fun in the sun as they whizzed around Florida wearing bright bikinis on colourful mopeds.
The duo stopped traffic as they zoomed around the streets of St Petersburg to film scenes for the movie, and were surrounded by male extras as they did so.
Gomez, 19, flaunted her toned figure in a turquoise bikini and blue shorts while riding a mint green scooter, and accessorised her outfit with some psychedelic orange lensed sunglasses, the Daily Mail reported.
Meanwhile 23-year-old Hudgens was feeling bold as she opted for a lime green bikini while roaming around on a red moped.
Pretty Little Liars star Benson, 22, went for a tropical look with a Hawaiian print bikini top and yellow hotpants, and her tiny shorts were a perfect complement to her amber scooter.
They were also accompanied by their co-star Rachel Corine who wore a neon bikini top under a matching mesh T-shirt.
The group have been filming on location for the last couple of weeks and although they have been working long hours, they appear to have been having a lot of fun as they do so.
The actors have quickly formed a close bond, which will undoubtedly translate to the screen when the drama film is released next year.

I especially liked the idea of putting the element in directly without a bulkhead. One bit of advice that concerns me, though, is as follows: <snip> ...Advantages [of Polypropylene] are: Relatively cheap ($160/30g tank).... Cheap? Sounds expensive. You can get the blue HDPE tanks probably for free, or much cheaper, liquid malt extract comes in a 15 gallon tank, check with your homebrew shop and ask for one. </snip> I considered HDPE, but all info I've found on Polyethylene suggests that it's rated to a maximum 140-160 F. I'm sure this works fine for Ron (nice set-up!), and probably doesn't present any problems, but I'd like to be sure. Is it still FDA compliant at 170F for sparging? Is it just a plastic distortion issue, or is the potential there for dissolving more resins and plastic fuzz in the water? I haven't found any info on this and I'd like to be sure before I go to a cheaper HDPE option. -Scott Springfield, VA Return to table of contents

Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 10:45:40 -0500 (GMT-05:00) From: Dennis Collins <dcollins at springmail.com> Subject: Re: CFC Cleaning I hadn't read the HBD for some time and when I finally did a day or so ago, I surprisingly found my name mentioned. Not in vain, but just mentioned by my fellow Tennesse Valley Homebrewer, John Peed. I thought I would expound on my "lazy" maintenance method for caring for my CFC. First off, I think CFC's are problematic because they can never fully dry out without some help. The tube is relatively small and there's just no circulation in a small tube of that length. John Peed's method of actually baking the CFC in an oven is a good one, and in fact, I think is the single most important aspect of his CFC maintenance. Moisture + air + time = mold. Period. Personally (meaning I could be wrong), I think this is 99% of all problems experienced with CFC's. You can tackle this dilemma in at least two ways: first you can make sure that sucker is bone dry. An oven would certainly do the job. The second way is to eliminate ALL the air. I do this by keeping the CFC completely filled with sanitizer between uses. I siphon sanitizer through the CFC, then when there is a good steady flow out the end, I use a plastic screw protector to slip over the end and cap it. Then I pull off the hose feeding the CFC and cap that one too with another screw protector. No air + sanitizer = no mold. I've kept it capped and full of sanitizer for a couple of months and used it without incident. To make matters worse, I am a very lazy brewer. Cleaning solutions like PBW, TSP, et. all, are a big pain to me and I prefer just to rinse things out really good. The CFC is no exception. Immediately after use, I put the garden hose nozzle right up to the end of the CFC coil and just force water through it for about 15 seconds or so. This flushes out most everything (at least to the naked eye), then I fill it with sanitizer, cap it and store it. I must admit, when I do go to use the CFC, I drain out the old sanitizer and fill it with new sanitizer for 20 minutes or so, then drain that out prior to use (no rinsing). I've had the CFC for 3-1/2 years now and have brewed about 50 times with it. About a year after I started using it, I flushed it with PBW. Why? I don't know. Made me feel better at the time. However, I haven't done it since. So far, so good. I'm not recommending that other brewers should abandon their cleaning regimens, this is just another data point on the opposite end of the scale (the lazy end).

Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 13:35:55 -0500 From: "HomeBrewUSA" <brewshop at homebrewusa.com> Subject: Counterflow Chillers I find it interesting that each person has thier own theory on cleaning these things. I expect it has the same reason that we all tend to brew a little differently. While I was brewing proffessionaly at Hilltop Brewing Company in Va Beach my typical cleaning process was as follows: Hot sanitize. Circulate 170+ degree water through the CFC and the fermenter spray ball for minumum of 15 minutes. Pump beer into the fermenter. Backflush CFC with 170+ degree water untill it runs clear. I stored it dry. No issues for the 2 years I brewed. I use the same sort of process in my home system but have only been using a CFC at home for a few batches. I have a friend (Pro brewer in St. Louis) who does the caustic:acid:flush:store full of Iodophor and he has a Pedio problem even after all of that. I guess I am of the KISS viewpoint and overthinking generally get one in trouble Happy Brewing...

Bolmer" <noah at ocztechnology.com> Subject: Water Softener Hiyas- I recently moved into my new house (rental) and have obtained one of the last St. Pats 3-level system made, and I'll be attempting my first all-grain batch. I have read a bit on water chemistry - and have a couple of concerns. The house I live in has a water softener that uses salt, (although I have NO IDEA how to operate it). I don't know whether the outside hose water bypasses the softener or not- any easy way to check? I have a fishtank and a hardness test, but I have no idea what that would tell me in terms of this situation. Also, I have a reverse osmosis 2 stage system in the sink. Would I be better off using that water and adjusting the chemistry every time I brew beer? Seems that R/O filters could get expensive (I plan on 10 gallon batches). As an aside, anyone know how to operate an older water softener? Basicially the only thing you can set is the hardness which ranges from 1 to like 100 or something. You also set the cycle time (time of day, not length of the cycle). The previous owner had it set on 8, and the unit is filled with what looks and smells like salt, tho it's clumped together oddly. There is no manual, and no manual to be downloaded online. I live in San Jose, CA but I'm not sure what the local water chemistry is like. Thanks for any help!! Noah Noah A.

Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 21:03:42 -0500 From: "Travis Miller" <travismiller at comcast.net> Subject: CFC cleaning Fred Asks: "How do the professionals do it?" That depends on who you ask because different breweries do it differently. We have a heat exchanger that is like the Therminator type of chiller as do most breweries. I've never heard of a brewery using a counter flow but stranger things have happened. I run our various cleaning solutions through the H.E. backwards utilizing our portable pump that we use to clean the fermentation vessels and bright tank. With the way our brew house is set up I'm able to perform the cycle on the lauter tun at the same time I clean the HE which saves time, water and chemical. The cleaning solution is run at a faster flow rate than we run wort through it on the way to the FV. We use a caustic solution (at 160 F) for 45 minutes, rinse clean, a phosphoric acid based cleaner for 30 minutes, rinse clean, and if we aren't brewing for a few days I pack it and the brewers hose full of paracetic acid sanitizer mixed at a no rinse concentration. It is also our SOP to take it apart once a quarter to inspect the plates. Some breweries use different chemicals such as PBW and Acid #5 (also by made by 5 Star), some use chlorinated caustic and not acid, some use just acid and no caustic, some alternate back and forth on some sort of rotation. By the condition of our heat exchanger when we got it I think that it might have been rinsed but is certainly had not been cleaned in a while by the previous owner. We also heat sanitize the transfer hose, hard pipe, valves, and the heat exchanger with hot liquor before sending finished wort from the whirlpool to the unitank. Travis Return to table of contents

Located at 17 Raymond Av in Pasadena, just about a block from Colorado Blvd. Also in Pasadena is Craftsman Brewing Co, at 1270 Lincoln Avenue #800. A little further east in San Gabriel is the Stuffed Sandwich, which has a phenomenal selection. If you go to the Stuffed Sandwich, you will have to buy one first, a requirement of their license. Closer to your hotel is BJ's Brewhouse in Woodland Hills, about a 15 minute drive, just shoot west down the 101 to Canoga and go north 2 miles. Excellent APA, Stout, Irish Red, plus whatever they have on cask, and a very good selection of bottled Belgians. About the only place I know in the West Hollywood area that has a few decent micros on tap is Barney's Beanery, an institution for decades.

Pros: Good value
Bottom Line: I bought this aloe gel to make hand sanitizer for my husband because he keeps using the cheap stuff from WalMart. It works perfectly, although a little runnier than the WalMart stuff. Great price and great product! BTW--I for the hand sanitizer I mixed 2 TBLs high proof vodka (you can use witch hazel instead), 1/2 tsp vitamin E oil and 80 drops of thieve's oil blend to a 16oz bottle of aloe vera gel. Smells wonderful!
Pros: Good value, Easy on Stomach, Easy To Use, Effective

There were 75 million non-resident visitors to the United States in 2015, with New York City proving to be the most popular city destination. Of those visitors, travelers from China contributed the most to international travel spending at around 30 billion U.S. dollars. Visitors for the United States' North American neighbors, Canada and Mexico, also spent generously. However, international travel spending was dwarfed by domestic travel spending. In 2016, U.S. residents accounted for almost 80 percent of the total travel expenditures in their country
The most popular vacation type for U.S. travelers was beach vacations in 2017, followed by all inclusive packages. In the same year, around 30 percent of U.S. travelers stated they would like to take a cruise. The United States was the leading source market for cruises in the world in 2015. In comparison to the second largest cruise source market Germany, the United States had over five times more cruise passengers in that year.

This morning I felt like sewing something.
Didn't know what but after digging around in my supplies, I came up with a little something for Valentines Day.
Now don't judge it too much, it looks a little kooky. It took less than an hour start to finish--just the type of project I needed today. Something quick and easy.
A simple envlope style pillow cover made of white muslin with a ruffled ribbon heart shape in the middle.
Ahhhhhhh, sewing is such fun!

If you're thinking you can dodge the taxman using bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, you may want to think again. Instead, get in touch with the Fort Lauderdale accountants at Sterling Accounting.
That's because the IRS has designated a special team to go after cryptocurrency tax evaders. According to Bitcoin.com:
In an interview, IRS chief Don Fort revealed how the Criminal Investigation Division, which he heads, has added 10 new investigators. "It's possible to use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the same fashion as foreign bank accounts to facilitate tax evasion," he said. Bloomberg reports how the Criminal Investigation Division has actually lost key staffers since 2011 on account of budget cuts. The recruitment of 10 new staffers will see the division returned to full strength, complete with its own crew of blockchain experts.
The range of blockchain tools available to U.S. investigators is getting more numerous and sophisticated. Companies such as Bitfury have earned ire from the crypto community for their willingness to work hand in glove with law enforcement to scrutinize blockchain activity, clustering related addresses together and highlighting suspicious activity. The company's advisor, Jason Weinstein, a former DOJ investigator, crowed: "Having a traceable public ledger of every bitcoin transaction ever conducted allows law enforcement to 'follow the money' in a way that would never be possible with cash."
The best course of action when it comes to taxes, whether they involve cryptocurrency or more traditional money, is to consult with a tax expert like the Fort Lauderdale accountants of Sterling Accounting.
Whether you need a simple 1040EZ tax filing or a 1040, we can handle it all for you. We provide innovative solutions for tax issues to minimize your tax liability and find deductions commonly overlooked. We stay up-to-date and well informed on all tax laws and legislation.

Lee H (ag) wrote: This movie was amazing. This style of movie is not what you see now in days, and is a wonderful representation of a religionist movement. This movie is the autobiography of Gandhi and what he accomplished and how. The movie starts and the end with his murder being shot point blank at a large rally by Nathuram Godse. Then it flashes back to when he was a young man in South Africa. He is a young attorney at the time and goes to ride a train with his first-class pass. He is told he is not allowed to ride first class. He refused this order and demands to ride first class. He is then thrown off the train. This is his turning point realize that nonviolence is the way and that treating minorities like this is unacceptable. The majority of the movie after this is him preforming nonviolent protest against South Africa and in Indian. He establishes equality in south Africa and then moves back to his home country of Indian. Here he does similar protest and even goes on a hungry strike to cease the Britain rule over their country. During these protest, he is jailed many times and beaten. There is tragic scene in Indiana where women and children and mean are gun down for about five minutes over the Hindus and Muslins struggles. This movie has extreme religions ties and connect. Where most people say, Gandhi was Jainism due to all his closer friends where he was more of a Ahimsa (doing no harm) which is one the biggest part of Jainism. This movie you get to see many practices of Jainism from the medication and the giving away of all material goods. The act of selflessness you could say to some it all up. Gandhi was strong believer and doing no harm and being selflessness that he would sacrifice all his goods and himself. He would starve himself to show he dedication to prove what is right.

Kings Blog
It got 'weird' but DeMarcus Cousins has no problem dominating the Kings
DeMarcus Cousins has some 'weird' moments against his old team
It's always topical to discuss which team wins or loses a trade, but that often cannot be sorted out for years.
The parties involved can work to move on and that's something DeMarcus Cousins said he's doing after being traded by the Kings at the All-Star break to the New Orleans Pelicans.
On the court, Cousins overwhelmed his former team, with 37 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks as the Pelicans routed the Kings 117-89 Friday night at Smoothie King Center in the first game between the teams since the deal.
The Kings were 1 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference when they decided to trade Cousins and reset their plans for the future. The loss dropped Sacramento to 5-14 since the trade.
Cousins remains popular among the Kings. Former teammates and support staff greeted him before and after the game and visited the locker room after the game. Cousins, however, said he didn't need the game for any sort of closure, even though it was obvious he wanted to win badly.
"I don't look at it like that," Cousins said. "I still communicate with those guys all the time. My chapter of me putting on a Sacramento Kings jersey, of course that's done, but I've still got nothing but love for those guys. I still talk to them on a daily basis. I don't look at it like that. There's no bad blood."
Cousins did have some fear about the game.
"My biggest thing was I didn't want to come in and make it about me," Cousins said. "My biggest fear was doing that and coming out with a loss and that would have been terrible. I was just happy we came out with the right approach, we came out with a lot energy. We set the tone early. We just played the right type of basketball throughout the night."
That didn't mean there weren't some awkward moments for Cousins after more than six seasons with Sacramento.
Playing against a team he wanted to finish his career with was strange, as was seeing his former teammates and coaches on the sidelines.
"It was very weird actually," Cousins said. "You practice against those guys every day but in a game setting to play against them, it's a very weird feeling. I'm so used to those guys being on my side. It was just weird. I even caught myself looking over at (Kings coach Dave Joerger). It was just weird."
The Kings have predictably struggled since trading the three-time All-Star. The focus from management is draft picks, and more losses means increased odds of moving up in the draft lottery.
So the Kings rested three veterans, including their best post defender, Kosta Koufos, giving Cousins opportunities against second-year center Willie Cauley-Stein and rookies George Papagiannis and Skal Labissiere.
They also had to deal with All-Star Anthony Davis (19 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks).
"It's only going to make them better," said Kings guard Darren Collison. "I think this is a good test for them ... when you're playing against these top-tier bigs, they're only going to get better. ... Papa, Skal, they're going to be good players."
Cousins said he's monitored the progress of the young bigs and he's proud of how far they've come over the season.
"Those three young bigs, they work their tails off," Cousins said.
But as has been the case a lot since the trade of Cousins and waiving Matt Barnes, the Kings were roughed up as teams continue to push around their young players.
"They got all over us defensively and they were physical," Joerger said. "We struggled to score, turned the basketball over a ton, gave them a ton of points off our turnovers. They just kind of overmatched us physically, getting in the paint. They had 60 points in the paint, some of those were off our turnovers, but DeMarcus had a terrific game and Anthony had a terrific game. By and large, their guys at the wings were just too physical for us."
Ben McLemore led the Kings with 15 points off the bench. Buddy Hield, who came to the Kings in the trade, had 13 points.

Fat Possum £13.99
"This lonely skin is wearing thin", sings Iggy Pop on the title track of his 23rd album. As if to demonstrate the point, the frontman once again bares his ageing torso on the cover of Ready to Die, wrinkled yet still muscular, strapped into a belt of high explosives. It is not immediately apparent if this represents defiance of mortality or a grim acceptance of the inevitable.
I suspect Iggy wants to have it both ways. While what remains of the Stooges slash and riff their way through a set of simple yet effective punk metal anthems, he yelps, croons and bellows about how terrible everything is with an almost comical misanthropy, declaring himself "a hanging judge for the world". "I'm shooting for the sky/ Because I'm ready to die", he snarls. "Die! Die!"
In a callow youth, you could dismiss it as bravura posturing. At 65, the implication is that Iggy is determined to go out rocking.
This is Iggy's fifth album in 10 years, and the second featuring the reformed Stooges. There is something admirable about his drive and persistence, even as each new offering dilutes the raw essence of one of rock's most celebrated figures.
Following the death of guitarist Ron Asheton in 2009, Iggy's old sidekick James Williamson has returned to the fold. Ready to Die was made with almost the same line up that created 1973's Raw Power, but never approaches that album's epochal mess. Forty years on, the band sound slick, tough and wilfully dumb.
The Iggy myth was forged when he was young and out of control, playing with a band whose fierce, chaotic intensity was an expression of a kind of nihilistic indifference to the norm. The Stooges were great almost by accident, their garage rock production values and sheer oppositional attitude making them touchstones for future waves of punk, metal, indie and grunge. But their sound is so familiar now that the Stooges themselves have effectively become just another band in an apparently endless line of hard rock outfits offering a polished version of their former ragged glory.
Only a couple of cumbersome yet oddly elegiac acoustic ballads push the Stooges outside of their comfort zone. Unfriendly World and The Departed both offer glimpses of the vulnerability old hell raisers might feel as the party draws to an end, with Iggy crooning "where is the life we started?".
Frankly, they all sound far more comfortable on DD's (as in "Double D" bra size), a ridiculous blast of Motown infused punk featuring Iggy slobbering enthusiastically about the eternal appeal of large breasts, as if he was 65 going on 16. I suppose growing old gracefully was never really an option.

B&H and DJI are pleased to invite you to an exclusive Inspire 2 and Phantom 4 experience event located inside of Bathhouse studios and on their roof deck in New York City.
View Image
The onboard camera features a first for the Phantom line: a 1-inch 20-megapixel CMOS sensor. A custom-engineered lens made up of eight elements is arranged in seven groups. The camera boasts a mechanical aperture that eliminates rolling shutter distortion that can occur when taking images of fast moving subjects or when flying at high speed and a mechanical focus.
The 2-axis onboard FPV camera separates the flight view from the main camera view, effectively giving the Inspire 2 a dedicated "tap-to-fly" camera. Tap a point onscreen in the FPV view to set a flight route and the Inspire 2 will automatically fly along that route, leaving the pilot to focus on gimbal movement.
The Phantom 4 Pro from DJI boasts a 3-axis-stabilized gimbal camera with a 20MP, 1" CMOS sensor capable of shooting up to 4K/60fps video as well as photo bursts at up to 14 fps.
Everything you need to set up your Inspire 2 is included. Two batteries with a charger, an all-new transmitter controller, extra propellers, a calibration plate, and a carrying case to store and transport everything.
The DJI Phantom 4 Pro redefines the iconic Phantom series, bringing imaging and intelligence to new heights. Its new camera equipped with a larger 1-inch sensor and the ability to capture 4K video at 60fps and while its FlightAutonomy system adds dual rear vision sensors and two infrared sensors for a total of 5 directions of obstacle sensing and greater protection. Creators are also further empowered with a new suite of ActiveTrack and TapFly functions that makes complicated shots easier than ever.

Steve Angello & Laidback Luke hate the official video of their remake of Robin S 'Show Me Love' – so they have released their own!
After an epic saga, Steve Angello & Laidback Luke's version of 'Show Me Love' finally gets a worldwide release in a few weeks' time. When Steve and Luke's close friend Hardwell got his hands on their gem of a track 'Be', he mashed it together with the classic Robin S vocal, which has inspired DJs and producers all over the world. When a number of bootlegs and rip-off versions of the mash-up started circulating, Steve and Luke thought it was time to release the beast and show the world where the track came from, moreover who produced the real original, and hit the studio to re-record the track with Robin S herself! 'Show Me Love' is to be released on Data Records in the UK and Mixmash Records for the rest of the world, with a fierce remix package including Hardwell, The Partysquad, Afrojack, Style of Eye and Blame amongst others.
However, the UK label produced a video without the approval of either Luke or Steve – and they hate it! They felt it only right they come back with something that captures the true spirit of 'Show Me Love', and does justice to the enormous popularity and buzz around this tune. The impact this monstrous hit has had on dancefloors around the globe is instantly recognizable in this footage.
Sit back… and ENJOY!

Though I feel remote now from academic sociology, and have no desire to go back, this was my discipline. Stop laughing at the back: it IS a discipline, or should be. I still in a sense practise sociology, and on a good day am proud to profess it. Mixed feelings.
Easier to say how I got into it. At school I specialized in classics, but the modern world and social issues came to interest me more. Staying on at school, I took economics A-level, then went to Africa. Returning to go to university, classics no longer appealed. I considered Chinese, but the Oxford syllabus was resolutely ancient. For social science it had to be PPE, (philosophy, politics and economics: in those days you took all three). Seeking to link it all, I did sociology too; and was a Marxist, another quest for holism.
I'm really glad I did PPE. No one should study a single social science on its own. The real human world is a seamless if tangled web, whose knots no one of these artificially segmented disciplines alone can ever unravel. My field of Third World development inevitably took in history, geography, politics, economics and culture. Sociology to me is the name for the whole thing: the big picture, the master subject. (Imperialist, moi?)
But here as often I'm against the trend of the times, which is subject specialization and fragmentation. Ever fewer people know ever more about ever less; few talk across the divides. This doesn't help us understand anything that matters, much less change it. I also deplore the abuse of sociology's open house and welcoming hearth by creeds with other agendas, like Marxism in the 1970s and feminism currently. I support feminism; but this is entryism, like Militant in the Labour Party of yore. They should go and do it somewhere else, or we'll never get a value-free sociology; only "attitude and platitude", in Gary Runciman's fine phrase. Here too, no doubt, I'm hopelessly against the grain. But look at the state of sociology now. Doesn't it need a break? or refounding, even?
Dear me, what a tendentious rant. I meant this page to be factual, about what I used to do in sociology. Right then. First, all three universities where I worked initially made me teach research methods: which was a bit mean, especially on the students, since no one had ever taught methods to me. Somehow I got by. Otherwise I mainly taught on Third World Development; both in general, and (inevitably) theory, but also on social problems, and needless to say Korea. Relatedly, a first year course on social trends and movements let me cover key -isms: capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, nationalism (on which I devised a course in Santa Cruz in 1985), fascism, socialism, communism.
Once I even taught comparative historical sociology, then a core course (imagine!). In an era of a la carte modules and mix 'n' match, I still hanker for the old table d'hote. I dabbled in contemporary theory - loved Habermas and hermeneutics, loathed Althusser, iffy on Foucault - but got out before it all went to pot and postmodernism, thankfully. And I'm glad now, as not always at the time, that the Leeds tutorial system forced all us tutors to keep our hands in across the board: from classical theory to modern Britain.
Ah, but it was all so long ago and far away. What do I know? Yet even now, writing far from academe on Korea for business, though it's more journalism than scholarship (yay, no footnotes!), I still see myself as a practising social scientist. The PPE training is invaluable: economics and politics are central, and inextricably intertwined. Call it political economy - but not forgetting culture: I now fly the flag for Weber, not Marx.
One thing is clear. The world's a mess, and gets no better. We need social science, to analyze what the hell is going on and what we can do. "Savouir pour prevoir, prevoir pour pouvoir": the old positivist credo still resonates. Not doing great so far, are we?

During Ramadan the house was flooded with Dates and Plums. After having tried lots of smoothies, chutneys, dips etc…this time i wanted to bake a cake using these fruity goodness.I have always been fascinated by the Plum cake made during Christmas, the gooey texture and the fruity aroma is simply divine and heavenly. So how about adding dates and plums together in a cake …. ???
So just a day before Eid and of course on my lil sister's demand, i just put on my aprons and
Baked this heavenly dessert. It took me around 35 mins to get a perfectly baked loaf. Though the cake can be made in any regular baking pan but i preferred making a loaf. The baking process was fun and within no time the house was filled with an exotic aroma of dates and plums. As i wanted that gooeyness in the texture i choose to keep few chunks of dates in the batter so that it can give a bite and one can enjoy the flavour in every slice.
|Prep Time
|10 minutes
|Cook Time
|35 minutes
- 2 cups All purpose flour
- 15 Dates
- 2 Plums
- 4 Eggs
- 1 1/3 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 or 2 tbsp Milk - (optional)
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- 4 tbsp Almonds - (sliced)
- 1 tbsp Raisins
- Remove seeds from dates and plums and keep aside. If you are using dry dates then it is advised to soak them over night before use. But the fresh dates can be used directly.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl add sugar and butter and blend together till it the sugar dissolves and the it becomes light and creamy.
- Now add eggs one by one and keep blending till it becomes fluffy.
- Add vanilla essence and mix again. Keep aside.
- In a blender jar, add dates and plum together and blend it to make a thick paste. If you like dates and plum pieces in the cake then blend it lightly. Else you can turn it into a fine paste.
- Now add the ready paste into the sugar, butter and egg solution. Blend it again. You can either use a hand blender or and electric one.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold them to make a smooth batter with the help of a silicone spatula. If you find the batter to be too thick, you can add 1 or 2 tbsp of milk to smoothen it.
- Grease and dust a 6 inch baking loaf pan and pour the batter into it. Tap the bottom of the pan to settle the batter evenly.
- Garnish with handful of sliced almonds and raisins. Bake the loaf in a pre heated oven at 180 degree C for 30-40 mins or till the inserted tooth pick comes out clean.
- Cool the loaf on a wire rack till room temperature. De mold it and cut into slices and enjoy.

St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) March 17, 2012
FEMA continues to work closely with the states that were affected by the recent wave of severe storms and tornadoes in the Midwest and South. According to USASpending, 279 contracts were already awarded to contractors last week by the agency. Business owners across many industries are urged to prepare for current and upcoming contracting opportunities to aid in disaster relief and rebuilding efforts.
In order to qualify for any federal contracts, vendors must obtain a DUNS number and have completed their CCR registration and ORCA filing. To qualify for FEMA contracts, businesses must also complete a FEMA Vendor Profile. Vendors are also strongly encouraged to complete their Dynamic Small Business Search profile. Failure to complete all these steps prior to bidding may cause costly delays or even result in losing a contract award to another business.
The Industry Liaison (IL) Program is the portal for all vendors seeking to do business with FEMA. The IL Program is committed to establishing strategic relationships with industry partners and stakeholders with access to vendors and contractors. Serving as an industry advocate, the IL Program acts as the liaison between vendors and the program offices. During a disaster, the IL Program has created a process to ensure that information about your company's products or services is routed as supplemental market research to the appropriate FEMA contracting and acquisition professionals.
While the biggest demands are for debris removal, construction services and emergency supplies, other industries are also needed to help FEMA fulfill its goals. Interested businesses should get registered as soon as possible so they don't miss out on FEMA contracting opportunities. Unfortunately, many vendors who try to complete their CCR registration on their own run into problems. The Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center has reported that nearly 20% of all current CCR records contain errors or omissions.
To help businesses quickly prepare for FEMA contracts, US Federal Contractor Registration now helps their clients complete the FEMA Vendor Profile, in addition to assisting them with their CCR and ORCA registration. US Federal Contractor Registration's government marketing services include the creation of a Dynamic Small Business Search profile for the vendor as well.
To help small businesses avoid costly errors, US Federal Contractor Registration is offering a free evaluation and review of vendors' government registration, including their CCR registration and ORCA filing. During the evaluation, a Placement Specialist will review the company's government contractor registration to ensure it is complete, contains the correct information and is optimized to help them win government contracts. To receive this free evaluation, interested businesses should contact the toll free Contractor Helpline at (877) 252-2700 ext 1. Placement Specialists can also prepare a free government contracting profitability assessment to help business owners review government spending trends within their industry and identify current contracting opportunities.
US Federal Contractor Registration is the official third-party registration firm. We offer businesses the option to work with a case manager to complete and maintain their CCR registration and ORCA filing for one year, as well as complete their FEMA Vendor Profile so they can qualify for FEMA contracts. To get more information on FEMA contracts available for your business and request a free FEMA packet, call our Contractor Helpline at (877) 252-2700 ext 1 or visit our website at https://femacontracts.com/.

Stepping out and taking risks is something we admire from the innovators that revolutionize the way we live. From the modern to the ancient, these men and women possess a seemingly otherworldly ability to go against the flow of society's conformity to create radical innovation and fly in the face of established doctrine to make the world a better place.

One of the most powerful tools in decision making and problem solving also happens to be the easiest to implement. When confronted with a challenge and whose solution does not readily appear, simply pause. Then ask yourself to simply do "the next right thing". By understanding that most problems can be broken down into smaller manageable solutions, we learn to "divide and conquer". The pause enables us to listen to our instincts and allows them to guide us to the one advantageous action we can take "right now".

Good morning Everyone.
We nearly had a "no-show" on the blog today. Thankfully this piece from the Club's media channel saves us from that. The said post is a transcript of a recent chat with the gaffer. It's a bit stale news as it came up just before the ABS draw at the weekend but it's good thoughts nonetheless.
On specific qualities that determine a young player's readiness for the first team
One thing is: for young guys, they need someone to project them. But the player must be a good player in terms of technical abilities. Then, it is our responsibility to give him courage, fit him into the team. Make him realize he can do it. The confidence, in other words.
Aside that, he must be a solid player himself that only needs exposure. Also, we need to tolerate his inadequacies. As long as you can do that, before you know it, he's ready.
On whether ties to Ilorin will help or hinder the team
I think every player will want to play against his former club. Though, we do not actually have anyone that has played for ABS, but they have played on this soil. No matter how you see it, some fans will have sympathy for them. They will have their fans, their personal supporters, that will want to, for their sake, support the team.
And when we do well, it will be easier for them to accept us, because some of their loved ones are in our team.
On whether the line-up from the last two games is the team's strongest
For now. For now, this is what we can present, based on how they have gelled together. Sometimes, you might have a good player who is not ready, maybe based on injury, or even psychological challenges. For now, this is what we can present. We are just trying to develop the team, so that it becomes strong and unbeatable.
On whether a two-striker system (as used so far) is his preference
Ordinarily, everybody has his own philosophy. I have mine. You can't just get to a team and change everything overnight, it has to take a gradual process. No two games are alike. Now we are beginning to have a stable team, we can go into other philosophies too. We will approach the games based on whatever opposition we are facing – that will determine what strategies we put up. Sometimes we'll do it [play with two strikers], sometimes we won't. But it has to come gradually.
On Ibenegbu's unique skill-set and concerns over fatigue
I don't want to say there are no perfect replacements. I don't want to accept that. It's just a question of time.
Enyimba lost so many quality players, and we will be doing ourselves damage if we don't stick with those we do have and build a team around them. Gradually, we will be doing it [finding a proper deputy for Ibenegbu] by [process of] elimination and substitution… (Isn't there a risk with experimenting within the season?) No, we're not experimenting. It's a gradual process.
It's just because of the society that we are in. If not for travel, Ikechukwu has not done too much. But as you can see, more often than not, I don't allow him last the game. So, second half, sometimes at the end of the first half, I replace him. That's to let you know there is someone who can do exactly what he does, even though there are no two players that are alike.
So long as he can project the team, and also [contribute] in terms of the tactical aspect. It's just a question of time. We are going to have enough, and quality substitutions for every position.
Trust it was enlightening. Forgive me if it wasn't (especially for those who had seen the post before). There'll be something better tomorrow. I promise.
Till then,

10 Most-Read Long Island Press Local News Stories of 2016
As usual, the annual review of the Press' most-clicked stories of the year looks nothing like the editors' choices for top stories of the previous 12 months. Instead of big political and business news stories that affect many Long Islanders' lives, readers instead flocked to articles about creepy clowns, serial killers and video games.

The story of the day yesterday was that Steven Slater, a flight attendant with JetBlue, wigged out on the tail-end of a flight from Pittsburgh to New York's JFK. He said that he'd had it, cursed at passengers and quit over the PA system before grabbing a beer, deploying the emergency chute, and sliding away from everything he had worked for.
I am glad that this story got some attention because so often it is the ill-behaved passengers who are highlighted. What do these poorly behaved passengers and Mr. Slater have in common? Firstly they all belong in jail; secondly they should not be allowed to profit, advance, or benefit in any way from their behaviour.
Depending on who we are to believe, Mr. Slater was angry with a passenger or possibly with a number of passengers who either disobeyed his instruction to stay in their seats until the Fasten Seatbelt sign was off, or was yelling at him because the bag that he had insisted they gate-check was not immediately available to them. By most accounts somehow Mr. Slater was conked on the noggin with a piece of carry-on, probably accidentally. To put things in perspective, I don't care what happened. I am a very frequent flier, and know that I have to comport myself a certain way when I am on the airplane. I know that some of their regulations are stupid, but I abide by them because it is a federal offense not to. Let me say that again: It is made quite clear to us that not complying with the instructions of the cabin crew is a federal offense. That is why my smartphone remains off until we are on the ground; that is why I leave my seatbelt on when I am in my seat (well, mostly); that is why I remove my headset on take-off and landing; that is (only one of the many) reasons I do not smoke on the airplane or tamper with the smoke detectors in the lavatory; and yes, that is why I remain seated until the fasten seatbelts sign is off. The crew on board the airplane has the authority of law, and failure to comply with them can result in being escorted off the plane by federal marshals (or in Canada someone else… not quite sure who).
So by all accounts a passenger or passengers misbehaved, probably mouthed off at the FA, and possibly (though likely accidentally) caused a piece of carry-on to hit the FA on the head. The Flight Attendant had a number of possible courses of action. Which would you have taken?
- Let it roll off his back, do nothing, and write a blog about how terrible some passengers are (and for the record I read one or two of those from time to time, and commiserate with the FAs);
- Warn the passenger that failure to comply with his instructions would result in his being arrested and charged upon arrival (and indeed following through and having the plane met by Marshals); or
- Throw a hissy fit, quit, then burn your bridge – making you a star for a day and a (unemployed) criminal for the rest of your life?
Some people have given him points for style, and credit for 'sticking it to the man' or whatever protest he was trying to achieve. The bottom line is that his behaviour, while spectacular, was neither heroic nor indicative of any real brain activity. It is a scene that you would expect to see in a Hollywood movie demonstrating that the character was going through a mid-life crisis and simply needed a career change (Bill Murray's character in the 1981 hit comedy Stripes demonstrates a similar breakdown in the opening scene where as a taxi driver he picks up a snooty woman (played by Fran Ryan) and starts driving erratically before stopping his car in the middle of a bridge, blocking all traffic, and throwing the keys into the river). The only part that never makes it into the movies is that law enforcement are not impressed by grand gestures, only by law, and indeed are often forced into making an example of the guy whose grand gestures might cause others to follow in their footsteps.
There are many who have pointed out that the FA is now going to become a star, profiting from his celebrity status. I only hope that the prosecutors enforce the law that makes it illegal for criminals to profit by telling their story.
The sad part of the story is that until he got onto the PA system, the FA was (by all tellings) completely in the right. He did not do anything wrong, and even getting onto the PA system, cursing and quitting, while stupid, would not have been a crime. I am a great believer that when authority figures break the law their punishment should be harsher than when a civilian does, because not only is he breaking the law but he is also shirking his responsibility and betraying our trust. Aboard that airplane it was Mr. Slater who was the authority, and in addition to being charged with mischief and endangering the public, it should be remembered that Mr. Slater was responsible for the safety of all of the passengers on board the plane, and when he deplaned (by illegal and expensive means) he abandoned that duty.
He's had his fifteen minutes (and more, to be sure). Let's stop talking about him, not let him appear on talk shows, and let the next two headlines about him read: 'Flight Attendant's Trial Begins Today' and 'Slater Convicted on all Charges, to Spend XX Years in Sing Sing.'

The cabin contains almost the entire playful, eccentric touches for which MINI has turn out to be recognized, probably the most notable of which is a speedometer mounted within the heart of the sprint. It might probably take some getting used to for drivers conditioned to easily looking down to ascertain automobile velocity, although the steering column-mounted tachometer can be configured with a digital speedometer to approximate a more conventional setup. You realize what? I may say the education system failed me. I might complain about it all day lengthy. Nearly every single one among my academics was a coach for the school, and did not know the fabric. I had no access to any superior courses, so I had 'maxed out' the maths, science, and social science lessons by my sophomore year. I turned bored as for 2 years I needed to retake the same lessons, do the same assignments. I ended up taking a typing class my senior 12 months simply to have a change, although I might already type eighty five WPM.
In 1981, the Voluntary Export Restraints restricted Japanese automotive exports to the U.S. to a mere 1.sixty eight million automobiles a year. Nonetheless, while it was carried out so that extra people would buy American, what it did instead was power Japan to turn out to be much more aggressive with its American cousins. The Japanese continued to make better, safer, extra gas-efficient vehicles that also appeared good and have been cheap to purchase.
The entrance cylinder rod diameter, rear cylinder piston diameter, front stabiliser bar diameter and thickness, front stabiliser bush internal diameter, front lower arm stabiliser bracket thickness and body KDSS bracket thickness have all been optimised, realising a more mild vehicle behaviour, revising the front/rear weight transfer while cornering, and selling wonderful handling stability and experience consolation.
In addition to the new sheet steel, the eighth-era Accord will get a larger, more powerful SOHC three.5-liter iVTEC V6 that makes 268 horsepower and 248 pound-ft of torque. It may be mated with a 5-pace automatic transmission or, on the Accord coupe solely, a six-pace handbook gearbox. Keep in mind that the automobile interior is the final indication of how the car has been used and brought care of the user. That's the reason as much as doable auto detailing would always set it as a aim to make the interior look very superior and in fine condition, identical to the outside.
You are always going to return throughout a situation sooner or later, the place you don't have a wiring diagram. So, it is also worthwhile if you find yourself utilizing one, making an attempt to make a mental note of how the diagram relates to the automobile system itself. Also, any common conventions that you may come across – for instance, the way in which headlight circuits are typically fused.
