A mother and her son were surprised when the "African lion" at a zoo in China's Henan province started barking at them. Now the zoo in the People's Park of Luohe, China, is under fire for attempting to pass off ordinary animals for exotic ones. The "lion" turned out to be a Tibetan mastiff, which belonged to one of the zoo's workers. There was another dog in the wolf cage, rats in the snake cage and a white fox where leopards were meant to be.

There was no official explanation for the change of exhibits, but a zookeeper said the lion had been sent to a breeding center. A reporter at the Telegraph's Beijing bureau suggests that, "Chinese zoos have struggled to make money in recent years, after a government ruling that animal shows should cease and that they should operate on a non-profit basis." The animal switcheroo may have been envisioned as a cost-saving measure albeit one that visitors to the zoo weren't keen on. One visitor was quoted in Beijing Youth Daily as saying: "The zoo is absolutely trying to cheat us. They are trying to disguise dogs as lions."

Can you tell which candy is our favorite candy around here?
Why Yes! That would be What are Reece's Peanut Butter Cups for $500 Alex!
I mixed in a few others types of candy so that hopefully we'll have some Peanut Butter Cups leftover at the end of the night.
I added some Tootsie Pops for the little ones.
And if the teenagers aren't polite tonight, I might just have to give them the Almond Joys! :)

Fit Shaft - Gear Hybrid Spinning
Fit Flight is the innovative Flight and Shaft system. Common types of flights are installed by inserting in narrow slots on all sides. With this method, however, flights fell off easily, and they requires using parts for locked type or making an unwanted hole on a flight to avoid falling off. This made handling those small parts very difficult. Players have been always feeling stress by losing parts or complicated installation. Fit Flight succeeded in developing an ideal flight and shaft system by making their exclusive parts. They could attach parts precisely and remove unnecessary parts by adopting the "Push-in" system.
When Fit Flight manufactured their spinning shafts with 100% plastic resin, they created a precise Spinning Shaft that is reliable without using poor metal parts. Rotating shafts can avoid another dart being thrown later, which means this type of shaft will never see obstacles. It reduces and holds down minimum damages to the flight and shaft while insuring no wobbles in the joints. Once you use Fit Flight and Fit Shaft you will see how good they really are!
Shafts only work with Fit Flights.

-ology, -logy, -ologist, -logist
(Greek: a suffix meaning: to talk, to speak; a branch of knowledge; any science or academic field that ends in -ology which is a variant of -logy; a person who speaks in a certain manner; someone who deals with certain topics or subjects)
The word -ology is a back-formation from the names of certain disciplines. The -logy element basically means "the study of ____". Such words are formed from Greek or Latin roots with the terminal -logy derived from the Greek suffix -λογια (-logia), speaking, from λεγειν (legein), "to speak".
The suffix -ology is considered to be misleading sometimes as when the "o" is actually part of the word stem that receives the -logy ending; such as, bio + logy.
Through the years -ology and -logy have come to mean, "study of" or "science of" and either of these suffixes often utilize the form of -ologist, "one who (whatever the preceding element refers to)".
The examples shown in this unit represent just a small fraction of the many words that exist in various dictionaries.
2. The scientific study of things that are not living; in other words, all of the science except those that are biological: Chemistry is an example of one of the abiologies that people have studied.
"There are thousands and thousands of sub-visible dust mites in every home, regardless of how often it is cleaned. It sounds unpleasant, but is quite normal."
"Our houses are hosts to these creatures which are ultra-tiny (so small they were only first discovered in 1965) which live in human carpets, in our beds, on our food, floating in the air, in fact, they are omnipresent."
2. The science and art of healing: Kitty wanted to take a practicum in acology and learn more about the alternative methods of healing and the body processes involved in recovery.
3. Materia medica; the science of remedies.
- Material or substance used in the composition of remedies. Acology is a general term for all substances used as curative agents in medicine.
- Acology is that branch of medical science which treats the nature and properties of all the substances that are employed for the cure of diseases.
Extending her abdomen to about twice its normal length, a female locust deposits a pod of some 70 rice-size eggs four inches deep in moist sand.
Sensors at the end of her tail test moisture, salinity, temperature, and the softness of the ground to ensure that conditions are proper for laying her eggs.
To hatch, the eggs must absorb their weight in water, ideally in the first five days. During the last weeks of her four-month life, the gregarious female lays three times, usually a total of about 200 eggs.
Big-eyed hoppers hatch from the warm sands. The locusts promptly shed their natal skins, turn dark after about two hours in the sun, and within a few days they begin to move off in dense swarms.
Acropathology also involves the feet and toes. Such ailments are athlete's foot, a fungal infection that primarily affects the skin between the toes and causes itchiness, sores, and cracked skin, and affects ingrown toenails of the big toes resulting in inflammation of the surrounding tissue.
The study of radiant energy is investigated in the field of actinolgy.

This set of talks was given on 8 January 2009 as part of the PhD seminar series organised by the School of Economics and Finance of the University of St Andrews. Prof. Thomas Lux speaks on how economic systems can be seen as evolutionary models, where agents interact with each other and a selection process favours the most successful. He introduces underlying dynamical systems as well as the necessary game theoretic concepts. Video can be downloaded in WMV format and presentation slides / handouts are also available.
Archived handouts, slides and exercises from a 2009 course, organised around 21 lectures. The course contains many case studies.
Detailed lecture notes, slides, problem sets and exam questions from Muhamet Yildiz's 'Economic applications of game theory' course in 2004. The syllabus, lecture notes, slides, exams and problem sets are available to download as PDF files. It includes supplementary notes on rationaliazability, partnership games and forward induction.
Detailed notes and slides from a course of 18 lectures are archived here by MIT's Open CourseWare project. The course was given in 2000, 2001 and 2002. The course covers, "Analysis of strategic behavior in multi-person economic settings. Introduction to Nash equilibrium and its refinements: subgame-perfect equilibrium and sequential equilibrium. Applications drawn from labor economics, the economics of organization, industrial organization, international trade, and macroeconomics."

Conversations about death and dying are rarely fun. Most people avoid them because they invoke feelings about our inevitable demise. Broaching this subject can be particularly difficult for parents and their adult children. Adult children may avoid bringing up the topic because they do not want to think about their parents' mortality, and they may also want to avoid sounding as though they are waiting for their parents to die.
Despite these valid challenges to having conversations about death and dying, you should not avoid the topic. Your parents will die at some point, and having a plan to care for their money and property when they pass away will preserve their legacy and help them care for those they love most. Having this difficult conversation will also ensure that your parents have a voice regarding their end of life or when they can no longer make financial or medical decisions for themselves. Due to advancements in technology, these conversations are increasingly important because more people are likely to experience a time when they are still alive but unable to make decisions for themselves. In the absence of conversations about these scenarios and a legal delegation of decision-making authority, state law governs what happens. Those default rules may not reflect your parents' wishes. In addition, failure to have your parents' wishes properly documented may result in their heirs having to engage in expensive and time-consuming court processes.
Once you understand the consequences of not having those conversations, the next question is how do you raise the issue with your parents? There are a number of different approaches, though no particular one is necessarily better than any other. The following are some key ideas to keep in mind if you want to have this conversation with your parents.
- Do not nag. If you are trying to persuade your parents to talk about completing an estate plan, the last thing you want is to make the process and yourself an annoyance. Instead of engaging in a productive conversation, you may inadvertently create an atmosphere where your parents start avoiding you or become suspicious of your motives. If your parents hesitate to have these conversations, explore ways to bring up the topic without leaving them with their guards up.
- Be open and honest about your concerns. Being truthful about your worries is a significant challenge when discussing what will happen to your parents when they die or if they lose the ability to make decisions for themselves. Every family is imperfect, and oftentimes, areas of concern indicate delicate family situations. To facilitate the best conversations about estate planning and to achieve effective planning for your parents and their legacy, you must address the awkward family issues. You must ask the difficult questions now, when your parents are available to provide their insights.
Also, it is essential to have all the necessary parties, such as siblings, stepchildren, new spouses, and former spouses, involved. As your parents embark on these conversations, let them know that you support them. Prioritize understanding their wishes and helping them to protect those desires.
Ensuring that all the parties involved are in generally good health is another consideration. Having these conversations after someone's health is compromised may result in decisions that are not considered objectively. In those situations, attempts to think deeply about a plan for what happens to your parents, their property, and their legacy, may be blurred by concerns regarding their health.
- Ask your parents what their wishes are. Find out what your parents want and hope for with regard to estate planning. Do not make assumptions. Be direct and ask them what their ideal situation is. What they say may surprise you. Even if you have had no previous conversations of this nature with them, that does not mean they lack a clear idea of how they see things occurring in the future. The problem is that they may not have the plans in place to realize their vision. Asking them about what they want brings them one step closer to making their vision a reality.
- Discuss the planning already in place. In many cases, parents do some estate planning when they start their family and never update it. Therefore, your parents may have some documents about what should happen if they can no longer make decisions for themselves or if they die, but the documents are no longer relevant because they do not address the changes that have occurred in the family over time. As a result, asking them about what they have done in the past is a critical component of having an effective conversation with your parents. Specifically, ask your parents if they have any of the following documents—and if they do, the documents should be reviewed
- past wills
- past trust documents
- powers of attorney
- HIPAA authorization forms
- insurance policy and retirement plan beneficiary designations
- Include benefits to their children and grandchildren. Finally, addressing how your parents will build their legacy through their children (you and your siblings) and grandchildren is critical. A common sentiment among grandparents is that grandchildren are their reward for not letting their children drive them crazy, so they often have a significant desire to provide special allocations for their grandchildren. The form and method require serious consideration, given the unique dynamics between children and grandchildren. Explore how your parents want their money and property distributed and whether your childless siblings will receive less. Again, navigating this area requires great tact and wisdom.
If you approach your parents about end-of-life planning and you can all have clear conversations about the topics addressed above, you will be establishing the right foundation for effective estate planning.
You Do Not Have to Do This Alone
If you feel overwhelmed by the steps discussed above and you would like a neutral party to help facilitate the conversation and provide guidance regarding how the estate planning system works, our lawyers are available to help. Call our office to schedule a virtual meeting with us to begin the process.

Daiichi Sankyo and UCSF Announce Collaboration in Drug Discovery Research for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. (hereafter, Daiichi Sankyo) and UC San Francisco (UCSF) have established a drug-discovery collaboration focused on developing novel therapeutics and molecular diagnostics for multiple neurodegenerative diseases.
Under the terms of the agreement, Daiichi Sankyo will provide its compound library to the UCSF Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (IND), and both parties will perform high-throughput compound screening and optimization together. The project will bring together the drug development capabilities of Daiichi Sankyo with the expertise of world-renowned neuroscientists at UCSF, in a collaborative effort to create multiple drug-discovery programs in debilitating disease areas such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and fronto-temporal dementias -- all conditions for which there currently are no effective therapeutics available.
Daiichi Sankyo will provide research funding and milestone payments and royalties for successful clinical progression and commercialization of new products. Daiichi Sankyo will receive the option to enter into an exclusive license agreement to develop and commercialize promising compounds.
"This is a golden opportunity. These diseases require a big-picture approach, and that's what Daiichi Sankyo is taking," said Stanley Prusiner, MD, who received the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of prions, a new biological principle of infection. Prions are alternatively folded proteins that undergo replication -- some prions perform critical cellular functions but others cause neurodegenerative diseases. Initially, Prusiner studied prions causing "mad cow" disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), but recently, he and many others have focused their work on other replicating, misfolded proteins— which Prusiner and others argue are prions—that are thought to cause the more common neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
"Alzheimer's alone kills as many people every year as cancer does, but it only receives one-tenth of the funding that we dedicate to cancer research. This collaboration won't fill that funding gap, but it will offer the tremendous value of Daiichi Sankyo's scientific expertise to make progress on these diseases," said Prusiner, UCSF professor of neurology and director of the IND.
"Daiichi Sankyo is committed to identifying potential new therapies to help fuel our passion to find medicines for the patients who need them. Using the compound screening technology at UCSF, along with their expertise in prion research, will give us an opportunity to explore the potential. I am excited about this collaboration and look forward to seeing results of this partnership." said Glenn Gormley, MD, PhD, Senior Executive Officer and Global Head of Research and Development, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.
Founded in 1999, the UCSF IND is one of the top academic laboratories focused on discovering causes and developing cures for neurodegenerative diseases. As the leader of the IND, which is based at UCSF and includes neuroscience research at several other UC campuses, Prusiner is committed to creating therapeutics and diagnostics that will halt neuronal diseases with his experience in prion research.
Daiichi Sankyo will send scientists from its Venture Science Laboratories (VSL) to work on-site at the IND and will jointly establish the drug discovery programs. VSL was established internally, as a biotech-like organization, in Daiichi Sankyo's R&D Division in April 2013 in order to further strengthen Daiichi Sankyo's drug discovery capabilities. With innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, VSL is engaged in drug discovery and early development for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and other high unmet medical needs in age-associated diseases for growing aging population in the world.
About Neurodegenerative Disease
Recent reports estimate that Alzheimer's afflicts more than 26 million people worldwide and is responsible for 503,000 deaths in the United States each year, compared with 585,700 for cancer. The second most common neurodegenerative disorder, Parkinson's disease, affects an additional 1 million people in the United States and an estimated 7 million worldwide. While less common, CJD is equally debilitating and fatal. Among the top 10 causes of death in the United States, dementias are the only ones for which no therapies exist that can halt or even slow the progression of disease.
About UC San Francisco
UCSF is the nation's leading university exclusively focused on health. It is dedicated to transforming health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care. It includes top-ranked graduate schools of dentistry, medicine, nursing and pharmacy; a graduate division with world-renowned programs in the biological sciences; a preeminent biomedical research enterprise; and two top-tier hospitals, UCSF Medical Center and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.
About the UCSF Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Founded in 1999, the IND is committed to creating therapeutics that will halt diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and dementia resulting from traumatic brain injuries. Located in the new, state-of-the-art Sandler Neurosciences Center at UCSF, the IND is at the forefront of discovering diagnostics and therapeutics that will provide relief to those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases that, in the words of British novelist and Alzheimer's patient Terry Pratchett, can "strip away your living self a bit at a time." For decades the IND has led the field in basic research on prions and other protein abnormalities and is now applying its time-tested approach to the wave of dementia that threatens our nation.
About Daiichi Sankyo
The Daiichi Sankyo Group is dedicated to the creation and supply of innovative pharmaceutical products to address the diversified, unmet medical needs of patients in both mature and emerging markets. While maintaining its portfolio of marketed pharmaceuticals for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and bacterial infections, the Group is engaged in the development of treatments for thrombotic disorders and focused on the discovery of novel oncology and cardiovascular-metabolic therapies. Furthermore, the Daiichi Sankyo Group has created a "Hybrid Business Model," which will respond to market and customer diversity and optimize growth opportunities across the value chain.

Azure Files is the only public cloud file storage that delivers secure, Server Message Block (SMB) based, fully managed cloud file shares that can also be cached on-premises for performance and compatibility. Today, we are excited to announce that Azure Files just got bigger, faster, and better than ever before.
That's right … starting today we are launching the previews of larger, low latency file shares with more IOPS, higher throughput, and Azure Active Directory integration. But wait, there's more! We are also excited to announce the forthcoming new Azure File Sync agent with significant improvements in the sync performance, tiering, and reporting.
Let's take a sneak peek into the new Azure Files …
Files scale and performance
Premium Files, new and now in limited public preview, is optimized to deliver consistent performance for IO-intensive enterprise workloads that require high throughput with single digit millisecond latency. Premium Files is suitable for a wide variety of workloads such as databases, home directories, analytics, content, and collaboration. Its performance, whether measured by IOPS or throughput, scales with the provisioned capacity to fit your workload's needs. With premium file shares, IOPS can scale up to 100x and capacity can scale up to 20x the current Azure Files scale limits. To accommodate workload IO spikes for a short duration, premium file shares can also operate in burst mode. Learn more about the Premium Files limited public preview announcement and how to try the preview.
Standard files, our existing storage, is designed to provide reliable performance for IO workloads that are less sensitive to performance variability. It is well suited for general purpose files services and dev/test environments. We have also made significant investments in standard files to increase the capacity limits by 20x and IOPS limits up to 10x. The preview for the 100 TiB shares with higher scale limits will be launching soon. You can join the waitlist for the preview of 100 TiB shares by completing this request form.

The theme was Comfort food so we shot Bangers and mash and some beans on toast. The shots looked great and the cover went down very well to the point where it went viral the following week!

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Nine women in Sweden have successfully received transplanted wombs donated from relatives and will soon try to become pregnant, the doctor in charge of the pioneering project has revealed.
The women were born without a uterus or had it removed because of cervical cancer. Most are in their 30s and are part of the first major experiment to test whether it's possible to transplant wombs into women so they can give birth to their own children.
Life-saving transplants of organs such as hearts, livers and kidneys have been done for decades and doctorsare increasingly transplanting hands, faces and other body parts to improve patients' quality of life.Womb transplants — the first ones intended to be temporary, just to allow childbearing — push that frontier even farther and raise some new concerns.
There have been two previous attempts to transplant a womb — in Turkey and Saudi Arabia — but both failed to produce babies. Scientists in Britain, Hungary, the U.S. and elsewhere are also planning similar operations but the efforts in Sweden are the most advanced.
"This is a new kind of surgery," Dr. Mats Brannstrom told The Associated Press in an interview from Goteborg. "We have no textbook to look at."
Brannstrom, chair of the obstetrics and gynecology department at the University of Gothenburg, is leading the initiative. Next month, he and colleagues will run the first-ever workshop on how to perform womb transplantsand they plan to publish a scientific report on their efforts soon.
He said the nine womb recipients were doing well. Many already had their periods six weeks after thetransplants, an early sign that the wombs are healthy and functioning. One woman had an infection in her newly received uterus and others had some minor rejection episodes, but none of the recipients or donors needed intensive care after the surgery, Brannstrom said. All left the hospital within days.
None of the women who donated or received wombs have been identified. The transplants began in September 2012 and the donors include mothers and other female relatives of the recipients. The team had initially planned to do 10 transplants, but one woman couldn't proceed due to medical reasons, university spokesman Krister Svahn said.
The transplant operations did not connect the women's uteruses to their fallopian tubes, so they are unable to get pregnant naturally. But all who received a womb have their own ovaries and can make eggs. Before the operation, they had some removed to create embryos through in-vitro fertilization. The embryos were then frozen and doctors plan to transfer them into the new wombs, allowing the women to carry their own biological children.
The transplants have ignited hope among women unable to have children because they lost a uterus to cancer or were born without one. About one in 4,500 girls are born with a syndrome, known as MRKH, where they don't have a womb.
Fertility experts have hailed the project as significant but stress it's unknown whether the transplants will result in healthy babies.
The technique used in Sweden, using live donors, is somewhat controversial. In Britain, doctors are also planning to perform uterus transplants, but will only use wombs from dying or dead people. That was also the case in Turkey. Last year, Turkish doctors announced their patient got pregnant but the pregnancy failed after two months.
"Mats has done something amazing and we understand completely why he has taken this route, but we are wary of that approach," said Dr. Richard Smith, head of the U.K. charity Womb Transplant UK, which is trying to raise 500,000 pounds ($823,000) to carry out five operations in Britain.
He said a womb transplant was like a radical hysterectomy but it requires taking a bigger chunk of the surrounding blood vessels to ensure adequate blood flow, raising the risk of complications for the donor. Smith said British officials don't consider it ethical to let donors take such chances for an operation that isn't considered life-saving.
Smith said the biggest question is how any pregnancies will proceed.
"The principal concern for me is if the baby will get enough nourishment from the placenta and if the blood flow is good enough," he said.
All of the women who received womb transplants will need to take anti-rejection medicines, but Smith said data from women who have received kidney transplants doesn't suggest their babies are at any increased risk from the drugs.
Brannstrom said using live donors allowed them to ensure the donated wombs were functional and didn't have any problems like an HPV infection.
Doctors in Saudi Arabia performed the first womb transplant in 2000, using a live donor, but that uterus had to be removed after three months because of a blood clot.
Brannstrom said he and his colleagues hope to start transferring embryos into some of their patients soon, possibly within months. The Swedish researchers and others have previously reported successful uterustransplants in animals including mice, sheep and baboons, but no offspring from the primates were produced.
After a maximum of two pregnancies, the wombs will be removed so the women can stop taking the anti-rejection drugs, which can cause high blood pressure, swelling and diabetes and may also raise the risk of some types of cancer.
Other experts said if the operations are successful, womb transplants could be an alternative for women who have few choices.
"What remains to be seen is whether this is a viable option or if this is going to be confined to research and limited experimentation," said Dr. Yacoub Khalaf, director of the Assisted Conception unit at Guy's and St. Thomas' hospital in London, who was unconnected to any of the womb transplant projects.
Lise Gimre, 35, who was born without a womb, said she thought many women with the MRKH syndrome would be interested if the operation proves to be safe and effective. Gimre runs an organization for women with the syndrome in Norway.
"If this had been possible when I was younger, no doubt I would have been interested," she said. Gimre, who has two foster children, said the only option for women like her to have biological children is via surrogacy, which is illegal in many European countries, including Norway and Sweden.
Brannstrom warned the transplants might not result in children but remained optimistic.
"This is a research study," he said. "It could lead to (the women) having children, but there are no guarantees … what is certain is that they are making a contribution to science."
Cheng reported from London.

The human race is really starting to feel the consequences of their actions.
One area we are waking up to is the massive amount of pesticides we spray (especially in North America) on our food that has not only been linked to human disease but a massive die-off in the global bee population within the past few years.
A new study out of Harvard University, published in the June edition of the Bulletin of Insectology puts the nail in the coffin, neonicotinoids are killing bees at an exponential rate, they are the direct cause of the phenomenon labeled as colony collapse disorder (CCD). Neonicotinoid's are the world's most widely used insecticides.
"The results from this study not only replicate findings from the previous study but also reinforce the conclusion that the sublethal exposure to neonicotinoids is likely the main culprit for the occurrence of CCD."
For this study, researchers examined 18 bee colonies at three different apiaries in central Massachusetts over the course of a year. Four colonies at each apiary were regularly treated with realistic doses of neonicotinoid pesticides while a total of six hives were left untreated.
Of the 12 hives treated with the pesticides, six were completely wiped out.
Neonicotinoids insecticides persist in "extremely high levels" in planter exhaust material produced during the planting of crops treated with these insecticides. This runs contrary to industry claims that the chemicals biodegrade and are not a threat.
These pesticide components are found in soil, they are also found in fields where the chemicals are not even sprayed. Bees also actively transfer contaminated pollen from primarily pesticide-treated corn crops and bring it back to their hives.
Furthermore, bees transfer these pesticides to other plants and crops that are not treated with the chemicals, which goes to show just how persistent these chemicals truly are in the environment.
There has been an enormous amount of research which shows that our current regulations which protect the creatures that pollinate much of our food are extremely inadequate. It's been published in a number of peer-reviewed journals showing how widely used pesticides have a very damaging effect on bees.
A paper published in the journalNaturediscusses how bees are twice as likely to die when exposed to pesticides; two-thirds of the bees are lost when exposed compared to a third when not exposed.
The exposed bees are also half as successful in gathering food.
Scientists from the US Department of Agriculture as well as the University of Maryland published a study that linked chemicals, including fungicides, to the large-scale die-off of bees that has recently plagued the planet, you can read that studyhere.
In the United States alone, the honey bee population declined by approximately 30 percent, with some beekeepers reporting losses up to 90 and 100 percent.
More than 100 US crops rely on honey bees to pollinate them. The study determined that fields ranging from Maine to Delaware contained nine different agricultural chemicals. These included fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides.
In some cases, they even recorded samples of 21 different agricultural chemicals.
Europe also recently recorded the largest bee loss in its history.
Not only have these pesticides been linked to various health ailments, but they are also killing bees all over the world. It's not just bees, the disappearance of Monarch Butterflies has also been linked to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide.
It's time we completely ban something that has absolutely no reason to exist, we can do better than this.
As we continue to take actions like this we continue to see how we are currently doing things simply cannot be sustained. This type of issue does not just reflect how we treat nature but also reflects how we operate as a whole.
If money wasn't so important, we wouldn't be finding unnatural ways to do everything on this planet. If we weren't so concerned with maintaining an economy, issues such as these wouldn't affect us. This is all a perfect lesson for us to ask "what the heck are we doing to our planet?"
We are at a point where our very survival is now threatened because we are fighting so hard to maintain a system we all don't like anyway.
"If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live." – Albert Einstein

See Understanding Techniques for WCAG Success Criteria for important information about the usage of these informative techniques and how they relate to the normative WCAG 2.0 success criteria. The Applicability section explains the scope of the technique, and the presence of techniques for a specific technology does not imply that the technology can be used in all situations to create content that meets WCAG 2.0.
Applies to all technologies.
This technique relates to:
The purpose of this technique is to provide information via the text alternative that identifies the non-text content as a CAPTCHA. Such tests often involve asking the user to type in text that is presented in an obscured image or audio file. From the text alternative, the user can tell that the CAPTCHA requires completing a task and what type of task it is.
When an alternate version of a CAPTCHA is available, the text alternative should include instructions about how to find the alternate version.
A CAPTCHA test asks the user to type in text that is displayed in an obscured image. The text alternative is "Type the word in the image".
A CAPTCHA test asks the user to type in text that is played in an audio file. The text alternative is "Type the letters spoken in the audio".
Remove, hide, or mask the CAPTCHA.
Replace it with the text alternative.
Check that the text alternative describes the purpose of the CAPTCHA.
Check #3 is true.
If this is a sufficient technique for a success criterion, failing this test procedure does not necessarily mean that the success criterion has not been satisfied in some other way, only that this technique has not been successfully implemented and can not be used to claim conformance.

Brittany Aldean Shares Sneak Peek of Baby Navy's Nursery
Jason Aldean and his family are moved out of their old home, making a pit stop into temporary digs while waiting for their dream house to be constructed. For fans who are curious about how they'll be living in the meantime, wife Brittany shared a quick snap of one room (toddler son Memphis' playroom), and she's revealed yet another room for fans to check out.
And this one's a goodie! Jason and Brittany are expecting their second child together, a baby girl named Navy Rome, sometime next month. In Brittany's Instagram Stories, she offered up a sneak peek at Navy's nursery, which features the baby's name in neon lights; as well as a stately crib, pink draperies and a stunning light fixture hanging from the ceiling.
All in all, it's a room fit for a princess. (Meanwhile, Memphis, who turned 1 last month, is enjoying a totally boyish space with a killer ball pit!) It's clear that temporary housing isn't cramping the family's sense of style at all.
Brittany and Jason announced Navy's impending arrival in summer of 2018. Around the same time, they also informed fans they'd be building a new dream house for their expanding family, which also includes Aldean's older daughters from his former marriage.

Representing IPv6 Zone Identifiers in
Address Literals and Uniform Resource Identifiers
This document describes how the zone identifier of an IPv6 scoped address, defined as <zone_id> in the IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture (RFC 4007), can be represented in a literal IPv6 address and in a Uniform Resource Identifier that includes such a literal address. It updates the URI Generic Syntax specification (RFC 3986) accordingly.

1. Introduction
The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) syntax specification [RFC3986] defined how a literal IPv6 address can be represented in the "host" part of a URI. Two months later, the IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture specification [RFC4007] extended the text representation of limited-scope IPv6 addresses such that a zone identifier may be concatenated to a literal address, for purposes described in that specification. Zone identifiers are especially useful in contexts in which literal addresses are typically used, for example, during fault diagnosis, when it may be essential to specify which interface is used for sending to a link-local address. It should be noted that zone identifiers have purely local meaning within the node in which they are defined, often being the same as IPv6 interface names. They are completely meaningless for any other node. Today, they are meaningful only when attached to addresses with less than global scope, but it is possible that other uses might be defined in the future.
The IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture specification [RFC4007] does not specify how zone identifiers are to be represented in URIs. Practical experience has shown that this feature is useful, in particular when using a web browser for debugging with link-local addresses, but because it is undefined, it is not implemented consistently in URI parsers or in browsers.
Some versions of some browsers directly accept the IPv6 Scoped Address syntax [RFC4007] for scoped IPv6 addresses embedded in URIs, i.e., they have been coded to interpret a "%" sign following the literal address as introducing a zone identifier [RFC4007], instead of introducing two hexadecimal characters representing some percent- encoded octet [RFC3986]. Clearly, interpreting the "%" sign as introducing a zone identifier is very convenient for users, although it formally breaches the established URI syntax [RFC3986]. This document defines an alternative approach that respects and extends the rules of URI syntax, and IPv6 literals in general, to be consistent.
Thus, this document updates the URI syntax specification [RFC3986] by adding syntax to allow a zone identifier to be included in a literal IPv6 address within a URI.
It should be noted that in contexts other than a user interface, a zone identifier is mapped into a numeric zone index or interface number. The MIB textual convention InetZoneIndex [RFC4001] and the socket interface [RFC3493] define this as a 32-bit unsigned integer. The mapping between the human-readable zone identifier string and the numeric value is a host-specific function that varies between operating systems. The present document is concerned only with the human-readable string.
Several alternative solutions were considered while this document was developed. Appendix A briefly describes the various options and their advantages and disadvantages.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in "Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels" [RFC2119].
2. Specification
According to IPv6 Scoped Address syntax [RFC4007], a zone identifier is attached to the textual representation of an IPv6 address by concatenating "%" followed by <zone_id>, where <zone_id> is a string identifying the zone of the address. However, the IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture specification gives no precise definition of the character set allowed in <zone_id>. There are no rules or de facto standards for this. For example, the first Ethernet interface in a host might be called %0, %1, %en1, %eth0, or whatever the implementer happened to choose.
In a URI, a literal IPv6 address is always embedded between "[" and "]". This document specifies how a <zone_id> can be appended to the address. According to URI syntax [RFC3986], "%" is always treated as an escape character in a URI, so, according to the established URI syntax [RFC3986] any occurrences of literal "%" symbols in a URI MUST be percent-encoded and represented in the form "%25". Thus, the scoped address fe80::a%en1 would appear in a URI as http://[fe80::a%25en1].
A <zone_id> SHOULD contain only ASCII characters classified as "unreserved" for use in URIs [RFC3986]. This excludes characters such as "]" or even "%" that would complicate parsing. However, the syntax described below does allow such characters to be percent- encoded, for compatibility with existing devices that use them.
If an operating system uses any other characters in zone or interface identifiers that are not in the "unreserved" character set, they MUST be represented using percent encoding [RFC3986].
We now present the necessary formal syntax.
The URI syntax specification [RFC3986] formally defined the IPv6 literal format in ABNF [RFC5234] by the following rule:
IP-literal = "[" ( IPv6address / IPvFuture ) "]"
To provide support for a zone identifier, the existing syntax of IPv6address is retained, and a zone identifier may be added optionally to any literal address. This syntax allows flexibility for unknown future uses. The rule quoted above from the previous URI syntax specification [RFC3986] is replaced by three rules:
IP-literal = "[" ( IPv6address / IPv6addrz / IPvFuture ) "]" ZoneID = 1*( unreserved / pct-encoded )
IPv6addrz = IPv6address "%25" ZoneID
This syntax fills the gap that is described at the end of Section 11.7 of the IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture specification [RFC4007].
The established rules for textual representation of IPv6 addresses [RFC5952] SHOULD be applied in producing URIs.
The URI syntax specification [RFC3986] states that URIs have a global scope, but that in some cases their interpretation depends on the end-user's context. URIs including a ZoneID are to be interpreted only in the context of the host at which they originate, since the ZoneID is of local significance only.
The IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture specification [RFC4007] offers guidance on how the ZoneID affects interface/address selection inside the IPv6 stack. Note that the behaviour of an IPv6 stack, if it is passed a non-null zone index for an address other than link-local, is undefined.
3. Web Browsers
This section discusses how web browsers might handle this syntax extension. Unfortunately, there is no formal distinction between the syntax allowed in a browser's input dialogue box and the syntax allowed in URIs. For this reason, no normative statements are made in this section.
Due to the lack of defined syntax, web browsers have been inconsistent in providing for ZoneIDs. Many have no support, but there are examples of ad hoc support. For example, some versions of Firefox allowed the use of a ZoneID preceded by a bare "%" character, but this feature was removed for consistency with established syntax [RFC3986]. As another example, some versions of Internet Explorer allow use of a ZoneID preceded by a "%" character encoded as "%25", still beyond the syntax allowed by the established rules [RFC3986]. This syntax extension is in fact used internally in the Windows operating system and some of its APIs.
It is desirable for all browsers to recognise a ZoneID preceded by a percent-encoded "%". In the spirit of "be liberal with what you accept", we also suggest that URI parsers accept bare "%" signs when possible (i.e., a "%" not followed by two valid and meaningful hexadecimal characters). This would make it possible for a user to copy and paste a string such as "fe80::a%en1" from the output of a "ping" command and have it work. On the other hand, "%ee1" would need to be manually rewritten to "fe80::a%25ee1" to avoid any risk of misinterpretation.
Such bare "%" signs are for user interface convenience, and need to be turned into properly encoded characters (where "%25" encodes "%") before the URI is used in any protocol or HTML document. However, URIs including a ZoneID have no meaning outside the originating node. It would therefore be highly desirable for a browser to remove the ZoneID from a URI before including that URI in an HTTP request.
The normal diagnostic usage for the ZoneID syntax will cause it to be entered in the browser's input dialogue box. Thus, URIs including a ZoneID are unlikely to be encountered in HTML documents. However, if they do (for example, in a diagnostic script coded in HTML), it would be appropriate to treat them exactly as above.
4. Security Considerations
The security considerations from the URI syntax specification [RFC3986] and the IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture specification [RFC4007] apply. In particular, this URI format creates a specific pathway by which a deceitful zone index might be communicated, as mentioned in the final security consideration of the Scoped Address Architecture specification. It is emphasised that the format is intended only for debugging purposes, but of course this intention does not prevent misuse.
To limit this risk, implementations MUST NOT allow use of this format except for well-defined usages, such as sending to link-local addresses under prefix fe80::/10. At the time of writing, this is the only well-defined usage known.
An HTTP client, proxy, or other intermediary MUST remove any ZoneID attached to an outgoing URI, as it has only local significance at the sending host.
5. Acknowledgements
The lack of this format was first pointed out by Margaret Wasserman some years ago, and more recently by Kerry Lynn. A previous draft document by Martin Duerst and Bill Fenner [LITERAL-ZONE] discussed this topic but was not finalised.

Appendix A. Options Considered
The syntax defined above allows a ZoneID to be added to any IPv6 address. The 6man WG discussed and rejected an alternative in which the existing syntax of IPv6address would be extended by an option to add the ZoneID only for the case of link-local addresses. It was felt that the solution presented in this document offers more flexibility for future uses and is more straightforward to implement.
The various syntax options considered are now briefly described.
- Leave the problem unsolved.
This would mean that per-interface diagnostics would still have to be performed using ping or ping6:
ping fe80::a%en1
works today.
less convenient than using a browser.
- Simply use the percent character:
allows use of browser; allows cut and paste.
Disadvantage: invalid syntax under RFC 3986; not acceptable to URI community.
- Simply use an alternative separator:
allows use of browser; simple syntax.
Disadvantage: Requires all IPv6 address literal parsers and generators to be updated in order to allow simple cut and paste; inconsistent with existing tools and practice.
Note: The initial proposal for this choice was to use an underscore as the separator, but it was noted that this becomes effectively invisible when a user interface automatically underlines URLs.
- Simply use the "IPvFuture" syntax left open in RFC 3986:
allows use of browser.
Disadvantage: ugly and redundant; doesn't allow simple cut and paste.
- Retain the percent character already specified for introducing zone identifiers for IPv6 Scoped Addresses [RFC4007], and then percent-encode it when it appears in a URI, according to the already-established URI syntax rules [RFC 3986]:
Advantage: allows use of browser; consistent with general URI syntax.
Disadvantage: somewhat ugly and confusing; doesn't allow simple cut and paste.
This is the option chosen for standardisation.

Soon to be Shenzhen's tallest tower at 660 meters, the Ping An Finance Center by KPF will anchor the city's new Central Business District. Positioned at the southwest corner of the intersection of Yi Tian Road and Fu Hua Road in the Futian District, the tower will connect with neighboring properties in addition to Shenzhen Line 1 Gou Wu Gong Yuan metro station. More details after the break.
Rising 115 floors above grade the PAFC punctures the sky with an impressive spire that is reminiscent of iconic spired towers such as the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building. Perched atop a podium housing retail and conference programming, the retail shops will form a terrace that gradually slopes away from the tower forming a large amphitheater-like space – intended to serve as a catalyst for the developing CBD.
The façade system incorporates a complementary language of light colored stone and glazing. Chevron-shaped stone panels sheath the vertical superstructure and highlight the perimeter columns that feature eight-story diagonal braces. The subtle expression of the structural culminates at the spire where the superstructure merges into one visual element meeting the sky.
Structurally, the tower has been engineered with a composite concrete core with steel outriggers anchoring the eight super-columns. Seven double layer belt trusses located at mechanical and refuge floors comprise the exterior in conjunction with the super diagonals at the corners of the tower. The eleven floors of the podium are constructed in a typical steel frame method. Nonlinear dynamic time history seismic analysis performed by structural engineers Thornton Thomasetti played a critical role in the performance-based structural design of the tower.
Under construction since 2010, the Ping An Finance Center is scheduled for completion in 2015.

Creating a function with a custom name is not something you can do easily out of the box in ECMAScript. Thankfully, ECMAScript comes with a custom function constructor.
First, the basic code, which will give most of you want you want:
The above will create an anonymous function, which when called creates the named function (using the name variable). This functionality is a good substitute for when you can't use eval()
but you need a function with a custom name. Eval is generally useless in ES5 strict mode for a number of good reasons, so its best avoided.
However, an issue with the code above is that we had to write the main code into a string. This sucks because it makes it difficult to debug (i.e., we can't easily set break points), so we want to avoid that as much as possible. The solution is to make the main function external, pass it as an argument to the Function constructor to call it.
Another advantage here is that we can set private variables inside our custom function, which can then be mixed with public arguments. Check this out!:
You can basically the start doing cool things from there, like:
The above is mega useful for dynamically implementing custom DOM-like interfaces… like shims. Enjoy! 🙂
