The Wire Troll: David Desharnais Heating Up For Habs
David Desharnais' recent production has translated into more ice time. (Thereuschblog.com)
It is hard to believe but here we are — 2014 is upon us and now is the time of waiver wire discontent. With just five weeks until the Olympic break, injuries and depth count more than ever. The strangest thing is there are only a handful of weeks after the break so that playoff move has to start a bit sooner rather than later.
These are the toughest weeks. The days can seem to blend together and can cause extreme Fantasy hockey frustration. Simply put, it is time to take a look at some of those waiver wire picks that may catch your eye for the upcoming week. It is now time for that good old column — The Wire Troll.
David Desharnais, C, Montreal Canadiens: After getting passed on the depth chart last season, Desharnais has surfaced at last, with nine points in his last eight games including his fifth of the season on Thursday (see video below). After being nearly ran out of Montreal about 100 times in 2013, the last few weeks have been kind to the "slight" centre. This run may not last more than another couple weeks so you need to get in on the ground floor while you can before time runs out!
Carl Hagelin, LW, New York Rangers: Hagelin is the type of player that can infuriate you at times, but his raw speed can create offense and even with the Rangers that can benefit Fantasy owners. With 10 goals and seven assists in 33 games, the small, speedy winger is solid enough to at least consider on your team. Please remember that the Rangers have this weird habit of binge scoring and then just vanishing. However, Hagelin's low ownership rate is enough to rise above that risk.
Dainius Zubrus, C, New Jersey Devils: Sometimes we take gambles in The Wire Troll, and this is a big one, but Zubrus is due. That is especially true after he took a head shot at the hands of Tyler Myers on Saturday. With tilts against Philadelphia and Dallas to start the week, that could mean a quick little bit of Fantasy gold for owners who want to take a shot on Zubrus. He plays first line ATOI (Average Time On Ice) and the point production is not great, but he creates quite a bit of space with his physical style of play.
Ryan Murphy, D, Carolina Hurricanes: Murphy is worth a pickup in the deepest of deep leagues because of his upside more than anything else. The problem in Carolina is that the Hurricanes' team defense can be leaky and the blame usually falls on the younger guys. People forget that Cam Ward just has not been consistent at all this season. Overall, Murphy only has 11 points in 35 games but he recently enjoyed his first career multi-point effort. Big things are expected of him in the future and with his vision and shot, nobody should be surprised at all.
Andre Benoit, D, Colorado Avalanche: Benoit is another risk, but with 66 blocks and 13 points in 39 games, it seems that he racks up just enough ice time to be a solid fifth or sixth Fantasy defenseman. He has six power play points which means he does see some decent PP2 time. If you need someone and no one looks too appealing on the power play, then Benoit may just be for you.
That is it for this week so good luck and see you next week. As always you can follow me @ChrisWasselTHW and thanks for reading.
Now it's your turn. Let us know in the comments below who you favourite Fantasy hockey pickup of the week is.

- Summary:
- The Food and Drug Administration today announced the licensing of a new vaccine against rotavirus, a disease responsible for tens of thousands of hospitalizations in the United States and hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world each year. The early research that underpins the new vaccine was conducted by three scientists at the Wistar Institute and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia between 1980 and 1991.

Rotavirus vaccine will protect children against a major killer worldwide
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced the licensing of a new vaccine against a disease responsible for tens of thousands of hospitalizations in the United States and hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world each year. The vaccine, developed by Merck & Co., Inc., will be sold as ROTATEQ® and will protect infants against rotavirus infection. Rotavirus is a highly contagious virus that is the most common cause of severe dehydrating diarrhea in infants and young children.
The early research that underpins the new vaccine was conducted by three scientists at The Wistar Institute and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) between 1980 and 1991, at which time Merck took on the task of developing the vaccine for the clinic. The scientists are H. Fred Clark, D.V.M., Ph.D., Paul A. Offit, M.D., and Stanley A. Plotkin, M.D. Clark and Offit are currently on faculty at CHOP, where Clark is a research professor of pediatrics and Offit is chief of infectious diseases and the Maurice R. Hilleman Endowed Chair in Vaccinology; both are adjunct professors at Wistar. Plotkin, an emeritus professor at Wistar, was the developer of a number of vaccines, including the rubella vaccine responsible for eradicating that disease in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
"This new vaccine against an important disease of childhood is the result of two leading academic research institutions and a major pharmaceutical company working together toward a common goal for roughly 25 years," says Russel E. Kaufman, M.D., president and CEO of The Wistar Institute. "It has been a long road, and we are very proud of the role our scientists played in the success of this important medical advance."
Plotkin and Clark began work on rotavirus in 1980. In 1981, Clark, a veterinarian, isolated from a calf the strain of rotavirus -- dubbed the Wistar Calf-3, or WC3, strain -- that would provide the foundation for the new vaccine. That same year, Offit joined Plotkin and Clark in the effort to develop a vaccine against rotavirus. As a senior resident at a hospital in Pittsburgh in 1979, Offit had witnessed the death of a nine-month-old boy from rotavirus infection, and he welcomed the opportunity to work on a vaccine to combat the disease.
Early studies with the WC3 strain indicated that while it was safe for use as a vaccine, it did not provide sufficiently effective protection against rotavirus infection. During the 1980s, the team turned to the idea of reassortants, taking advantage of the fact that viruses have the ability to borrow genetic material from each other to "reassort" themselves into new strains.
By co-infecting cells in culture with the WC3 strain of rotavirus and five different human rotavirus strains known as G1, G2, G3, G4, and P1, the scientists were able to create a reassortant bovine-human rotavirus virus that promised improved protection against rotavirus disease. Specifically, the reassortant virus incorporated the human versions of two proteins called VP4 and VP7, found on the surface of the virus and known to play roles in the immune response to the virus. The three scientists were subsequently awarded a series of U.S. and international patents for the rotavirus reassortant vaccine.
Merck assumed financial support of the project in 1991, and after licensing the technology from Wistar and CHOP in 1992, the company moved toward clinical development and testing of the vaccine. From 1993 to 2005, Merck conducted studies to determine the safety, efficacy, dose, buffer combinations, and serotype composition of the vaccine. Between 2001 and 2004, the company conducted one of the largest clinical trials of a vaccine ever performed by a pharmaceutical company, involving 70,301 infants in 11 countries. On December 14, 2005, the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted unanimously that the clinical data from that trial supported the safety and efficacy of ROTATEQ, setting the stage for today's announcement by the agency.
The new vaccine promises to become a major new tool to promote public health. In the United States each year, rotavirus is thought to account for approximately 500,000 physician visits, 250,000 emergency room visits, 50,000 hospitalizations, and 20 to 60 deaths among children under 5 years of age. In developing countries, where medical care may be inadequate or unavailable, rotavirus infections can be even more deadly. Estimates range between 440,000 to 600,000 deaths worldwide every year.
The Wistar Institute is an independent nonprofit biomedical research institution dedicated to discovering the causes and cures for major diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Founded in 1892 as the first institution of its kind in the nation, The Wistar Institute today is a National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center focused on basic and translational research. Discoveries at Wistar have led to the development of vaccines for such diseases as rabies and rubella, the identification of genes associated with breast, lung, and prostate cancer, and the development of monoclonal antibodies and other significant research technologies and tools.

I've recently started learning C++, and I enjoy it a lot.
I've often read it's easier to write bad code in C++ than in most languages, and that it is a lot deeper than what it seems.
As I'd like to avoid writing bad code, I was wondering what exactly I shouldn't do, and what I should do, to write good code in C++.

As you begin to taste the wines, keep the Five S's in mind: "See, Swirl, Smell, Sip, and Savor."
The first step is to enjoy the wine's color. For white wines, the older the wine the more golden it gleams. It can be a pale yellow all the way to an amber color. Reds can range from a garnet red to a beautiful deep purple. Tip your glass (partially!) and view the color against a white background, such as a napkin or tablecloth, to admire the hue.
To release the aroma, gently swirl the wine in your glass. This mixes oxygen into the wine to release the fragrance. To best swirl wine, place the glass on the table and hold the stem of the glass. With the glass remaining on the table, quickly move it in small circles.
Much of wine's pleasure is in the aroma, which comes from the grapes, and reflects the wine making process. After swirling, immediately place your nose close to the opening of the glass. Gently sniff the wine making note of your first impressions. Depending on the type of wine, you may discover hints of familiar smells such as fruit, spice, floral or even toasted (such as nuts, coffee or cocoa). Higher quality wines will express more aromas than inexpe3nsive, poorly made wines.
Take a medium-sized sip small sip, roll it around in your mouth for about three to five seconds. Breathe in a little air to once again release the aroma as you are tasting. Notice the taste and the "texture" - how it feels in your mouth, from light and refreshing to full and robust. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to experience a wine's flavor.
Spit or...
Swallow. The former may sound impolite, but it's not. In fact, it's the only way to taste if you are sampling many wines, and it can be done very discreetly. At many tasting counters, you'll notice a large bucket for that purpose as well as for any leftover wine in your glass. You can reset your palate by eating a piece of bread or cracker. If you aren't driving or consuming many wines, you may prefer to swallow the small samples. Just don't overdo it.
Most wines have a lingering aftertaste or "finish" even after you have completed the actual tasting. Take some time to appreciate the unique flavor of the wine.
You may want to write tasting notes, which at first might be very simple: deep red in color, fruity. With experience, your notes will become more descriptive.

The Judeo-Masonic Conspiracy
(How the bankers took over the World)German poster from 1935
The Judeo-Masonic conspiracy is the most controversial and widespread conspiracy theory from the whole twentieth century. The people from many countries believed it was a real threat, world leaders openly spoke about it, left an extensive footprint on the press and literature of the time, and many governments went as far as taking drastic measures in an attempt to put an end to it.
But, what is exactly the Judeo-Masonic conspiracy (also known as: the International-Communist-Judeo-Masonic conspiracy, the Judeo-Masonic-Bolshevik conspiracy, and the International-Marxist-Judeo-Masonic conspiracy)? Where, when, how and why did it all start? Which countries and leaders thought of it as a real threat, openly spoke about it, and acted upon it? Who did they thought was behind it? Why did it seem to vanish after World War II? Is there still a Judeo-Masonic conspiracy going on in the world today? Or, did it never exist?
Along this blog I will try to answer all these questions; find the most important world leaders that believed in it, and what exactly did they believe; analyse the effects of this conspiracy, and evaluate to what extent it shaped the world we live in.
But there is no doubt that researching conspiracy theories is an enormously difficult task -at least doing it the right way-; and even more difficult is getting anywhere near to prove they are real -especially when, like in this case, all the alleged conspirators and witnesses are long gone, and the evidences are buried under centuries of dust, mystery and secrecy-. And if all of this was not enough, there is another matter that complicates this particular research even further: the anti-Semitic character surrounding this particular conspiracy theory, and the fact that most of those who previously touched this subject were mainly influenced by a right-wing ideology with well defined political agendas -which is exactly why so many researchers in the past avoided getting deeper into this particular subject, and why many people have never consider it in the first place. And the truth is that this is a sensible matter that has to be treated with especial care; reason why it is my intention to reference all and every single statement on this blog; take into account for my research only credible sources -or otherwise, make the reader aware of it-; avoid other conspiracy theorists and/or speculation as much as possible; and clearly state when I'm just expressing my personal opinion, instead of describing a factual historical account.
Finally, just say that I hope you enjoy reading and discovering all there is to know about this monumental conspiracy theory as much as I enjoyed researching and writing it. Please leave your comments, doubts and questions. Thank you for your visit and for your interest.

As a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) passed in the U.S. in 2002, organizations around the world have refocused their attention on maintaining a controls-compliant business environment.
Implementation of a well-controlled commercial card program is a key component of mitigating risk throughout the Procure-to-Pay process. Organizations define card program control goals such as:
- Compliance with procurement and payment policies
- Reduction of maverick spend
- Mitigation of fraud, loss and misuse
Best practice organizations typically achieve card program control goals by implementing recommended practices within the five areas outlined in the Visa
Controls Framework:
- Ownership - Companies must establish card program ownership with an organizational structure, including well-defined roles and responsibilities to manage the card program
- Policies - Best practice policies are those that are clearly defined with specific details for each of the aspects of the card program
- Procedures - Procedures clearly identify the appropriate "who, what, where, when and how" of card use and will assist in the monitoring and control of the card program
- Technology - Effective use of technology makes procedures more efficient and guards against human error, there by ensuring that misuse is more easily detected and prevented
- Audit - Regular audits enable organizations to review and update card program policies and procedures as necessary
- Control and Compliance - Developing a controls strategy that addresses ownership, policies, procedures, technology and audit minimizes the risks of a commercial card program and increases compliance
- Cost Savings and Process Efficiency - A controls strategy minimizes non-compliant behavior. Automated monitoring and tracking reduces time and effort needed to enforce compliance

Arabian Nights
by Muhsin al-Musawi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Arabian Nights / 978-1593082819
I'm a bit of an "Thousand Nights" enthusiast -- I enjoy the stories immensely and I have four separate translations in my personal library. Several friends have asked me to discuss the differences between the editions, so I thought I'd present a four-way comparison and then talk about which version is best for which audience.
For the purposes of the four-way comparison, I will draw text from the opening tale of the two kingly brothers in order to highlight how each popular version handles "adult" content and racial content.
-- The Tale of King Shahryar and of his Brother, King Shahzaman --
Now there were in the King's palace certain windows that looked on to the garden, and, as King Shahzaman leaned there and looked out, the door of the palace opened and twenty women slaves with twenty men slaves came from it; and the wife of the King, his brother, was among them and walked there in all her bright beauty. When they came to the pool of a fountain they all undressed and mingled one with another. Suddenly, on the King's wife crying: 'O Masud! Ya Masud!', a gigantic negro ran towards her, embraced her, and, turning her upon her back, enjoyed her. At this signal, all the other men slaves did the same with the women and they continued thus a long while, not ceasing their kisses and embraces and goings in and the like until the approach of dawn.
-- Madrus & Mathers edition
-- The Tale of King Shahriar and of his Brother, King Shahzenan --
One day, Shahriar had started on a great hunting match, about two days' journey from his capital; but Shahzenan, pleading ill health, was left behind. He shut himself up in his apartment, and sat down at a window that looked into the garden. Suddenly a secret gate of the palace opened, and there came out of it twenty women, in the midst of whom walked the Sultaness. The persons who accompanied the Sultaness threw off their veils and long robes, and Shahzenan was greatly surprised when he saw that ten of them were black slaves, each of whom chose a female companion. The Sultaness clapped her hands, and called: "Masoud, Masoud!" and immediately a black came running to her; and they all remained conversing familiarly together.
-- Muhsin al-Musawi edition
-- The Tale of King Schahriar and of his Brother, King Schahzeman --
Now the Sultan Schahriar had a wife whom he loved more than all the world, and his greatest happiness was to surround her with splendour, and to give her the finest dresses and the most beautiful jewels. It was therefore with the deepest shame and sorrow that he accidentally discovered, after several years, that she had deceived him completely, and her whole conduct turned out to have been so bad, that he felt himself obliged to carry out the law of the land, and order the grand-vizir to put her to death.
-- Lang edition
-- The Tale of King Shahryar and of his Brother, King Shah Zaman --
Thereupon Shah Zaman drew back from the window, but he kept the bevy in sight espying them from a place whence he could not be espied. They walked under the very lattice and advanced a little way into the garden till they came to a jetting fountain amiddlemost a great basin of water; then they stripped off their clothes and behold, ten of them were women, concubines of the King, and the other ten were white slaves. Then they all paired off, each with each: but the Queen, who was left alone, presently cried out in a loud voice, "Here to me, O my lord Saeed!" and then sprang with a drop leap from one of the trees a big slobbering blackamoor with rolling eyes which showed the whites, a truly hideous sight. He walked boldly up to her and threw his arms round her neck while she embraced him as warmly; then he bussed her and winding his legs round hers, as a button loop clasps a button, he threw her and enjoyed her.
-- Burton edition
For my money, the superior volume by far is the Madrus & Mathers edition. The editor and translator have deliberately worked the translation to be as readable to the English eye as possible, even making judicious choices about where to refrain from using diacritical points (single quote sound points, as in 'ain) in order to ease the reading experience. They've made a concerted effort to retain the adult content without being lewd, the racial content without descending into offensive caricature, the poetic content without overwhelming the reader, and the entire content without condensing the text and losing material. The Madrus & Mathers editions comprise four giant volumes, but the casual enthusiast will be more than satisfied with just volume one, and with over 600 pages of stories in the electronic edition, the reader will have plenty of reading material available.
For children, however, the superior volume is probably the Muhsin al-Musawi edition. This edition is condensed, but the editing was done with great care to maintain story structure and content. The adult content has been toned down considerably, the racial content has been handled tactfully, the extra songs and poems have been almost entirely removed, and there are interesting and attractive pictures in the electronic edition. My biggest complain here is that the adult content has been excised to a degree that almost brings unfortunate implications: when adultery is characterized as "conversing", the angry and jilted husband seems to be seriously over-reacting. Still, if you want a sanitized version of the tales, the al-Musawi edition is almost certainly the way to go.
I do not recommend the Lang edition. Lang's fairy tale collections, such as the color fairy tale books, are usually a delight, but his Arabian Nights edition is thin on content and heavily paraphrased. The stories are gutted to remove the adult content and shorten the tale length for children, but in many cases the changes are not carefully glossed over, and huge plot holes and unresolved threads are left dangling. I've never met a Lang reader who didn't ask me what was going on in one tale or other because the translation is so poorly rendered.
Neither do I recommend the Burton version. If anything, the Burton version has the exact opposite problems as the Lang version: Burton's edition lengthens the stories with extensively lewd descriptions and offensive racial imagery. The edition was also rendered in the 1800s, and the language within has not aged well -- there are all lot of "forsooth"s and "verily"s that bog down the reading. If you're interested in a historical analysis of how these tales have been rendered over the years, by all means become familiar with the Burton version, but if you're just looking for light bedtime reading, give the Burton edition a pass.
I hope that this comparison will be helpful. This particular listing here is for the al-Musawi edition which I recommend for children.

Donald Russell Christmas Party Box
Christmas parties can be such a drag as there is so much to shop for and prepare. How great would it be if we had a team of elves helping us out in the kitchen. It's not just the big Christmas lunch, there are also all the canapes and tid bits that we ambitiously want to make to thrill our guests with.
How about a little short cut? I got a Party Pack from Donald Russell to try and it came with a variety of finger foods like meatballs, little ham croissants, sausage rolls, fish cakes, mini burgers and chipolatas.
They all came frozen and oven ready which made is a cinch to prepare. Half an hour before my guests arrived, I egg washed the sausage rolls and ham croissants and brushed the fish cakes with some oil. I then popped them in the oven as they took about the same time, 20 minutes. I served them as canapes but you could serve the fish cakes as a starter with some salad.
Next I started pan frying the mini burgers while I prepped the buns for my designer sliders. I slathered on some beer mustard, fried some onions and out them all together. I also fried the meat balls and served them with a sweet chilli dip but in hindsight should have done something different with them.
My guests were really impressed by the sausage rolls and fish cakes. They also loved the meaty sliders.
For main course, the meat fest continued. We had a roast belly of veal which came all trussed up and ready for the oven. I roasted this with some vegetables in a pan and added some red wine, orange juice and some stock about half and hour before the end to make some gravy. This was also used to baste the veal.
The veal came out tender and delicious and was so easy to carve. Served with roast potatoes, it was a very substantial meal. The veal served about 6 and there was some leftover.
To finish, we had the Anton Mossiman's Christmas Pudding. This we microwaved in the oven for 4 minutes and served with some double cream and custard. This was declared the best Christmas pudding by my guests as it was not overly sweet or stodgy and had quite a light texture. My friend who does not eat Christmas puddings even had 2 helpings.
If you are fretting over how to cater for your New Year's Eve party, get one of these packs. It's easy and delicious and saves you time to doll yourself up and enjoy the party instead of slaving in the kitchen. You can order from their online store here and pick your own delivery dates.

AEM 30-4853 Dyno-Shaft Pro Series On-Vehicle Dynamometer
The Dyno-Shaft On-Vehicle Dynamometer Pro Series is a true on-vehicle dynamometer system that measures Torque and RPM while you drive to deliver Horsepower numbers in real time while you drive. It is a real dyno for your car that measures Horsepower, Torque and RPM as accurately as the most respected dynamometers, with the advantage of being able to gather this data in real-world conditions.
Eliminate Guesswork - Know for sure if slower times are due to a loss of power, vehicle set up or driver error.
Engine tuning - Stop trying to approximate real world test conditions and start testing in the real world! Finally you can test with actual intake air conditions, actual vehicle loading and the hundred other things that make a real vehicle behave very different than it does when on a dyno. In other words, it allows you to measure a vehicle's power in real world conditions.
Chassis Set Up - Know when the tires will break loose. Ideal for optimizing drag launches and determining the longitudinal forces your tires can handle in road racing.
Torque Converter and Clutch development - Finally know what your Torque converter or clutch is doing while you are making a pass!
Dyno It All - The Dyno-Shaft accurately reads in all conditions including steady state, uphill or downhill, even while coasting down! It can even measure the effectiveness of an Exhaust Brake on diesel applications.

It's this week's second Swag Bag! While I was busy hitting up my local comic store for goodies, RightStuf was preparing a box full of animated wonders to send my way as well. My Visa may've wept this week, but not as much as it has in the past thanks to RightStuf's new shipping policies for Canadians.
Though I haven't seen any of it, I started with parts one and two of Funimation's DVD sets of Toriko. I bought it based on my adoration of the manga. I've already made my way through both sets, which are a bit short at only thirteen episodes each. The show itself doesn't offer anything more than the manga, but I really like the dub which is something I can usually count on Funimation to do really well. It had many funny, memorable quotes so I'm sure I'll be watching it again just for the fun script.
My biggest purchase was the entirety of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood on Blu-ray. I haven't seen any of this either but the manga is phenomenal and I recently finished watching the original anime on Netflix. I'm very excited to see my favorite characters who were not in the first anime. Lin! And I've heard that the production values are great. This purchase includes the whole series, plus the OVA collection.
And also on Blu-ray in my collection pile was the box set of Black Butler II. It actually includes both the DVDs and Blu-rays, which is a great touch. I really liked the first season of Black Butler but it ended at a point that definitely didn't feel like it needed a sequel. Can't say no to the fans I suppose right? From what I've seen of Funimation's previews clips, the new little butler-owning prepubescent has some seriously scary issues.
Rounding out the shopping trip were some Black Jack DVDs to finish off my collection (yay discount bins), and also an adorable Sailor Moon keychain and Tuxedo Mask plushie. I also couldn't help but buy a couple Fate/Zero key chains of Rider and Waver. I'll buy anything with those two on it! Maybe someday I'll do a write-up of the phenomenal statue of Rider I received a couple weeks back…
And last, as I naturally cannot make any online order that doesn't include at least some manga, I caught up on a few recent boys' love titles – Bond of Dreams, Bond of Love (Vol. 03) and Awkward Silence (Vol. 03). I really love SuBLime's releases, from the clean and consistent cover design they use across all their titles, to the solid translation and lettering work inside courtesy of decades of experience from their parent company, Viz Media. I was a little disappointed that His Favourite (Vol.03) was spaced far enough apart from the other two third volumes that I wasn't able to include it in this shipment. Ah well, next time!
That does it for this week's Swag Bag. As always, feel more than free to share what purchases you've made recently and if you'd recommend them!

Director Trash Talks Actor's Apartment During Live Zoom Audition, Doesn't Realize His Mic Isn't Muted
Euphoria actor Lukas Gage was auditioning for an unidentified director's film via Zoom when the director was caught trash talking Gage's apartment, believing that he was muted.
On Friday (November 20), the Love, Victor star shared a video from the awkward Zoom call via Twitter, revealing how he navigated the infuriating situation gracefully. He captioned the clip, "PSA if you're a s--t talking director make sure to mute ur s--t on Zoom mtgings [sic]."
In the video, the anonymous director can be heard mumbling, "These poor people live in these tiny apartments. Like, I'm looking at his background and he's got his TV and, you know..."
Before he can finish, Gage cuts him off. "I know it's a s---ty apartment. Give me this job so I can get a better one," the actor says.
Realizing his mistake, the director begins apologizing: "Oh my God, I'm so, so sorry ... I'm mortified."
"Listen, I'm living in a four by four box. It's fine," Gage adds. "Just give me the job, and we'll be fine."
Gage took the whole ordeal in stride and even retweeted some hilarious reactions to the Zoom meeting. Although the seemingly male British director's identity remains unconfirmed, some have speculated that it was Matthew Vaughn from the Kingsmen franchise.
Aside from his roles in Love, Victor and Euphoria, Gage has also appeared in Veronica Mars and American Vandal.

LONDON (Reuters) – Britain's Prince Harry will make his first public appearance on Thursday since Queen Elizabeth acceded to the wishes of her grandson and his American wife Meghan to step back from their senior royal roles and seek a more independent future.

The prince, sixth-in-line to the throne, will host the draws for next year's Rugby League World Cup at Buckingham Palace in what is his last scheduled engagement before he and Meghan begin a "period of transition" to their new roles.
Last week, Harry, 35, and former actress Meghan, 38, sparked a crisis by announcing they wanted to reduce their royal duties and spend more time in North America, while also becoming financially independent.
The public announcement caught the rest of the royal family by surprise and left the queen and other senior Windsors hurt and disappointed, according to royal sources. A friend of Harry and Meghan said the couple felt they had been driven out.
Following a family summit on Monday at her Sandringham estate attended by Elizabeth, Harry, his elder brother Prince William and his father and heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, it was agreed that the couple would split their time between Britain and Canada.
"Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family," the 93-year-old monarch said in a rare, highly personal statement.
Meghan is currently in Canada with the couple's baby son Archie and Harry is expected to join her this week.
The couple have said they want a "progressive" new role for themselves and the ability to fund themselves. Currently they are not allowed to seek private income and most of their money comes from the private estate of Harry's father.
As one of the world's most glamorous couples, they have struggled with intense media scrutiny, with Harry describing some coverage of Meghan as bullying, akin to the treatment his mother Princess Diana endured before her death in a 1997 car crash.
Some observers have criticized British media for racism in its coverage of Meghan, whose mother is African-American.
This week, the Mail on Sunday newspaper submitted its defense to court action by Meghan over the publication of a private letter she sent to her estranged father, Thomas Markle. The case could see Markle testify against her.
"There is a huge and legitimate public interest in the royal family and the activities, conduct and standards of behavior of its members," lawyers for the paper said in documents submitted to London's High Court.

Like many first-time Hispanic voters in Arizona, Claudette Arvizu had requested an early ballot when she registered to vote. But the ballot never arrived, she says. When she showed up at her polling place in Phoenix to vote in person on Election Day, she was sent to what she describes as "the long Hispanic line."
She toughed out the wait and cast a provisional ballot. She remembers forcing her ballot into an overstuffed provisional-ballot box. She says she noticed an Anglo woman's ballot breezing through a machine. That's when Arvizu, a 19-year-old student, began to fear that her vote "would not be counted because I am Hispanic."
She can't let go of that feeling, and she isn't alone. Arizona suffers from a severe ballot-counting hangover, and lingering questions just won't go away.
On Tuesday, Arizona completed a strangely tense 14-day post-election tally of about 671,000 ballots (out of approximately 2.3 million votes cast). The end of the vote tally spurred frustrated Latino leaders, voting-rights advocates, and Democrats into action, and they now vow to get to the bottom of a series of unexplained electoral missteps that embittered and mystified many voters, including an untold number of the 171,000 or so souls who were forced to cast provisional ballots.
Provisional ballots, which must be tediously verified by elections workers, can be problematic—they can be thrown out if they're deemed invalid. The ballots most commonly were distributed to voters who sought, but didn't receive or use, early-voting ballots, says Matt Roberts, spokesman for Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett.
Provisional ballots in Arizona tend to favor Democrats, which explains why progressive groups have an intense interest in them. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid jumped into the fray, warning Arizona officials early on to pay attention to every vote.
Like Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, California, and Nevada, Arizona had been targeted by union-backed, get-out-the-vote groups for Latino-voter engagement and registration. For months, workers and volunteers had trudged through Latino neighborhoods in climate-change-like heat to register tens of thousands of new voters. Using catchy slogans like "Adios Arpaio," some groups sought to engage voters who perhaps might only go to the polls to defeat "Toughest Sheriff in America" Joe Arpaio, famed for his raids of Latino neighborhoods and workplaces.
But things didn't go exactly as planned in Arizona. Arpaio won handily, thanks in part to an $8 million campaign chest fed largely by out-of-state donors. The Hispanic candidate Richard Carmona lost his Senate bid to Republican Jeff Flake. Mitt Romney easily beat Barack Obama.
Arizona Democrats made some inroads, though, moderating the state by seizing five out of nine congressional seats and breaking the Republican supermajority in the statehouse.
Still, an undetermined number of an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 Latinos who voted reported difficulties at the polls. "We worked so hard to get more folks to participate," says Francisco Heredia, Arizona director of Mi Familia Vota, "And now voters are frustrated and ask 'Why all the mistakes?'"
The troubles began shortly before the election. That's when Helen Purcell, the Republican county recorder of Maricopa County, Arizona's most populous county, disseminated official—but erroneous—voting information to Spanish-speaking voters. On bookmarks and voter-instruction sheets, Spanish-speaking voters were told Election Day was Nov. 8—instead of Nov. 6. Purcell subsequently corrected the error and retracted the erroneous documents, telling reporters she was confident the mistake had been mitigated.
Next, robocalls from Flake's Senate campaign directed some Democratic voters to the wrong polling sites, sparking Democrats to ask for a federal investigation. Neither the FBI nor the U.S. Attorney's Office will confirm or deny that a probe is in the works. Flake has denied wrongdoing.
And then came the Election Day provisional-ballot nightmare, which contributed to a huge bottleneck of 671,000 uncounted ballots that took officials at least 14 days to count.
The vote count went on, under increasing scrutiny from progressives, who began collecting polling-place horror stories. A few days ago, union activist Brendan Walsh excoriated Secretary of State Bennett for "seriously unsatisfactory administration of the recent election."
Bennett, who also happened to be the Romney campaign's Arizona co-chair, and who last made news for repeatedly contacting Hawaii officials over the authenticity of Barack Obama's birth certificate, recently opined that Arizona's electoral system worked well but could be improved. His spokesman, Matt Roberts, says Bennett will "visit county officials to see what needs to improve" and how to "speed up the process."
Democrats and voter-rights advocates will soon determine their next steps too, says Frank Camacho, a spokesman for the Arizona Democratic Party. "We won't let this die," he says.
No one's ruling out legal action at this point, says Walsh, the union activist, although "God knows, we prefer not to litigate." Activists are seeking a transparent investigation of provisional ballots to see if "they are concentrated in low-income neighborhoods," he says, adding: "This isn't a Republican-Democrat thing as much as it is a class-race thing."
One evening, Claudette Arvizu joined several hundred people demonstrating in front of Purcell's office in Phoenix. As the sun set, they lit candles, sang songs, said prayers, listened to horrible-voting-experience testimonials, and carried placards that read: "Count all the Votes!" and "My rights are not provisional!"
For a brief moment, Arvizu seemed near tears. "This was my first vote," she said. "It shouldn't have turned out this way."

"Roth shakes up her storytelling (and will do the same to some readers) in this highly anticipated, largely satisfying wrap-up to the Divergent trilogy." — Publishers Weekly

This final installment will capture and hold attention until the divisive final battle has been waged." — Publishers Weekly

"A surprise ending that is gutsier and much less predictable than the rest of the series would lead one to expect." — Los Angeles Times

"In the end, this is a world replete with loss, and the heroes must suffer their own in a twist that will break the hearts of many readers but stays true to the merciless dystopia that Roth has created." — Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Chemical weapons team in Syria kept from alleged attack site
Syrian and Russian authorities prevented independent investigators from going to the scene of a suspected chemical attack, the head of the chemical watchdog group said Monday, blocking international efforts to establish what happened and who was to blame.
The U.S. and France say they have evidence that poison gas was used in the April 7 attack in the opposition-held town of Douma, killing dozens of people, and that Syrian President Bashar Assad\'s military was behind it.
But they have made none of that evidence public, even after they, along with Britain, bombarded sites they said were linked to Syria\'s chemical weapons program.
Syria and its ally Russia deny any chemical attack took place, and Russian officials went even further, accusing Britain of staging a "fake" chemical attack. British Prime Minister Theresa May accused the two countries — whose forces now control the town east of Damascus — of trying to cover up evidence.
The lack of access to Douma by inspectors from the watchdog group, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, has left unanswered questions about the attack.
OPCW Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu said Syrian and Russian officials cited "pending security issues" in keeping its inspectors from reaching Douma.
"The team has not yet deployed to Douma," Uzumcu told an executive council meeting of the OPCW in The Hague.
Instead, Syrian authorities offered them 22 people to interview as witnesses, he said, adding that he hoped "all necessary arrangements will be made … to allow the team to deploy to Douma as soon as possible."
Russian military police were ready to help protect the OPCW experts on their visit to Douma, said Maj. Gen. Yuri Yevtushenko of the Russian military\'s Reconciliation Center in Syria. Igor Kirillov, a Russian chemical weapons protection expert in The Hague, said the team is set to visit the site Wednesday.
Earlier Monday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said the inspectors could not go to the site because they needed approval from the U.N. Department for Safety and Security. He denied that Russia was hampering the mission and suggested the approval was held up because of the Western airstrikes.
"As far as I understand, what is hampering a speedy resolution of this problem is the consequences of the illegal, unlawful military action that Great Britain and other countries conducted on Saturday," he said.
However, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the United Nations has "provided the necessary clearances for the OPCW team to go about its work in Douma. We have not denied the team any request for it to go to Douma."
At least 40 people are believed to have died April 7 in Douma, which until Saturday was the last rebel-held town near the capital and the target of a government offensive in February and March that killed hundreds and displaced tens of thousands. Hours after the alleged chemical attack, the rebel faction that controlled the town, the Army of Islam, relented and was evacuated along with thousands of residents.
The Associated Press, during a government-organized visit Monday to Douma, spoke to survivors and witnesses who described being hit by gas. Several said a strange smell started spreading and people screamed, "It\'s chlorine! It\'s chlorine!"
The AP visited a two-room underground shelter where Khaled Mahmoud Nuseir said 47 people were killed, including his pregnant wife and two daughters, 18-month-old Qamar and 2 1/2-year-old Nour. A strange smell lingered, nine days after the attack.
Nuseir, 25, said he ran from the shelter to a nearby clinic and fainted. After he was revived, he returned to the shelter and found his wife and daughters dead, with foam coming from their mouths.
He and two other residents accused the rebel Army of Islam of carrying out the attack. As they spoke, government troops were not far away but out of earshot. Nuseir said a gas cylinder was found leaking the poison gas, adding that he didn\'t think it was dropped from the air because it still looked intact.
Separately, the AP spoke to a medic who was among those who later were evacuated to northern Syria. Ahmed Abed al-Nafaa said helicopters were flying before the attack and when he reached the site, people were screaming "chlorine." He said he tried to enter the shelter but was overcome by a strong smell of chlorine and his comrades pulled him out.
The accounts contradict what the Syrian government and Russia have reported: that there was no gas attack in Douma.
On Sunday, Syria\'s state-run Al-Ikhbariya TV broadcast interviews with nearly a dozen doctors and medics who said they found no trace of poison gas in Douma. One medic said he heard someone scream "Chemical!" but saw no patients with symptoms. Others said that dust can seep into underground shelters, causing choking and other symptoms associated with chemical attacks.
The Russian military said last week its officers in Douma found no evidence to support reports of a gas attack. The Russian military taskforce in Syria said it visited the hospital in Douma and talked to staff who said they did not confirm reports of such an assault.
Both Russia and the Syrian government have welcomed the OPCW mission. The team arrived in Syria on Saturday. The OPCW team does not have a mandate to assign blame for the attack.
Syria\'s Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad has said his country is "fully ready" to cooperate with the OPCW mission. He said government officials met with the delegation several times to discuss cooperation.
Government forces and Russian troops have been deployed in Douma, which is now controlled by the Syrian government. Opposition activists have said the troops might have removed any evidence of chemical weapons\' use.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov denied that Russia interfered with any evidence.
"I can guarantee that Russia has not tampered with the site," Lavrov told the BBC on Monday.
Alexander Shulgin, the Russian envoy at the OPCW in The Hague, said allegations that Russia might destroy evidence reflected Washington\'s effort to justify Saturday\'s strikes.
"It\'s a clumsy effort to find an explanation if the claim of the chemical weapons use in Syria fails to get confirmation," Shulgin said at a briefing. "Our American partners are clearly getting nervous. They are frantically looking for some justification if their claims that served as the reason for the strike don\'t receive confirmation."
In London, British Prime Minister Theresa May accused Syria and Russia of trying to cover up evidence. She said Syrian officials have been searching evacuees from Douma to ensure samples are not smuggled out.
"A wider operation to conceal the facts of the attack is underway, supported by the Russians," she told lawmakers.
The weekend\'s airstrikes have increased international tension, as the U.S. and Russia exchanged threats of retaliation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday warned that if the strikes continue, "it will inevitably entail chaos in international relations."
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the strikes were a "clear message" to Assad, Russia and Iran that chemical weapons use is not acceptable and that the allies would not stand idle. He spoke in an interview with Turkey\'s NTV television.

New York City Fire Suppression Systems
A fire suppression system is designed and engineered to save lives and property from the dangers of fire. Fire suppression systems are relatively new and are described as the clean way to extinguish fires.
Thanks to modern science and technology leading fire protection manufacturers like Ansul have created fire suppression systems capable of containing and extinguishing almost any class of fire and can leave virtually no mess behind in the process.
We explain the different types of fire suppression systems available for use in your home residence, commercial business, public facility or industrial building and give you some pointers along the way so that when your ready to install a fire suppression system, you should get a great deal
New York City Restaurant and Kitchen Fire Suppression
There is less of an environmental impact from the use of fire suppression systems and have been favored as the preferred method of extinguishing kitchen and restaurant fires. Grease, gas and oil fires are very dangerous, kitchens are filled with deep fat fryers, appliances, and equipment capable of explosions. Kitchen and restaurant fire suppression systems have reduced deaths and property damage from commercial kitchen fires dramatically, which is why many states and cities require that restaurants install kitchen fire suppression systems.
Installing a Fire Suppression System in New York City
Installing a fire suppression system into your home residence or commercial business will only help give you peace of mind, meet any state or city building, fire and health requirements, it will even help you save money on your fire hazard insurance policy.
(Contact your insurance agent for details)
New York City Fire Suppression
Service, Repair and Maintenance
Keeping your fire suppression system properly maintained through service and repair will be required on all installed fire suppression systems. Always contact a licensed fire suppression company, certified fire suppression technician, or fire safety engineer conduct service calls made to repair your fire suppression system.
New York City Required Fire Suppression Tests and Inspections
Your fire suppression system will require monthly, semi-annual, annual and 5, 6, 12 year tests and inspections depending on the types of fire suppression systems you have installed. Have a licensed fire suppression company, certified fire suppression technician or fire safety engineer establish a set schedule and frequency for your fire suppression tests and inspections
New York City Residential, Commercial and Industrial Fire Suppression Systems

WASHINGTON D.C. Feb. 16, 2014 -- Tularemia, aka "rabbit fever," is endemic in the northeastern United States, and is considered to be a significant risk to biosecurity -- much like anthrax or smallpox -- because it has already been weaponized in various regions of the world.
At the 58th Annual Biophysical Society Meeting, which takes place Feb. 15-19, 2014, in San Francisco, Calif., Geoffrey K. Feld, a Postdoctoral researcher in the Physical & Life Sciences Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), will describe his work to uncover the secrets of the bacterium Francisella tularensis, which causes tularemia.
"Despite its importance for both public health and biodefense, F. tularensis pathogenesis isn't entirely understood, nor do we fully understand how the organism persists in the environment," explained Feld.
Previous efforts, funded by both the National Institutes of Health and LLNL, demonstrated that amoebae may serve as a potential reservoir for the bacteria in nature. "Specifically, we demonstrated that amoebae exposed to fully virulent F. tularensis rapidly form cysts -- dormant, metabolically inactive cells -- that allow the amoebae to survive unfavorable conditions," said Amy Rasley, the research team leader.
This encystment phenotype was rapidly induced by F. tularensis in the laboratory and was required for the long-term survival of the bacteria. Further exploration led to the identification of secreted F. tularensis proteins, which are responsible for induction of the rapid encystment phenotype (REP) observed in amoebae.
In the new work, Feld and colleagues characterized two of these REP proteins -- called REP24 and REP34 -- and began to describe their functions based on their three-dimensional crystal structures.
A big surprise finding was that these proteins resembled "proteases," which are proteins that cut other proteins in a specific manner. "Our preliminary data indicate that F. tularensis bacteria lacking these proteins are diminished in their ability to infect or survive in human immune cells, which indicates that these proteins may also contribute to F. tularensis virulence," Feld said.
Rasley and colleagues believe that careful characterization of these two novel F. tularensis proteins may shed light on how this organism persists in the environment and causes disease.
"Ultimately, this type of research could inform efforts to combat the disease, although there is much work to do. Currently, we don't know the protein targets in the host -- amoeba, human, etc. -- that the REP proteins act on, nor do we know the mechanism by which the proteins could help F. tularensis survive in the environment or cause disease," Feld said.
"Once these questions are elucidated, a broader understanding of environmental persistence and pathogenesis might lead to better diagnostics and/or novel countermeasures to combat tularemia," he added.
The presentation "Structure and Function of Two Putative Virulence Factors from Francisella tularensis" by Geoffrey K. Feld will be at 1:45 p.m. on Sunday, February 16, 2014 in Hall D in San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center.

Filter coffee
How to make south Indian filter coffee
For decoction
Some interesting information and my notes
For methi powder : In a kadai,dry roast a fistful of fenugreek seeds and powder it in mixie.Add this powder to the coffee powder while making decoction.This gives additional bitterness & flavor.Its healthy too. Diabetes patients can give this a try. But its completely optional for others...
I have used "Coffee day coffee powder " with chicory.If u use INDUS or COTHAS or COFFEE DAY coffee powder without chicory add 2 tbsp instead of 1 tbsp..U can make 3 cups of coffee with the coffee powder quantity i've mentioned.
I have used small size filter/ percolator. If you use bigger ones,increase the quantity of coffee powder twice or thrice. Please don't use the same quantity for big filters. f you have left over decoction, you can keep it in a refrigerator and use it the next day. But please avoid keeping decoction for 3-4 days. It may become a poison.
If you feel the decoction is brewed very slowly, tap it once on the umbrella like strainer or show the filter over the flame for few secs before adding coffee powder. I've mentioned to add sugar before adding coffee powder This is also for quicker brewing..
A term often heard for high-quality coffee is degree coffee. Milk certified as pure with a lactometer was called degree milk owing to a mistaken association with the thermometer. Coffee prepared with degree milk became known as degree coffee..
Here is the picture of coffee filter with its parts
My MIL says making instant coffee is also an art. She says, sugar should be just rite. Sometimes it may become too bitter or too sweet to taste. She also says my mom makes good instant coffee. So I got this ratio of sugar & coffee powder from my mom , tried it and posted for beginners.. Experts , please excuse me.
** Please don't add more sugar for the mentioned amount of Bru because you wont get the bitter taste and sweetness would be more. For 3 people , you can add 1 tsp of coffee powder. |

The standard object input ``channel''
Standard-oi is an ld special (see ld). The accessor is (standard-oi state) and the updater is (set-standard-oi val state). Standard-oi must be an open object input channel, a true list of objects, or a list of objects whose last cdr is an open object input channel. It is from this source that ld takes the input forms to process. When ld is called, if the value specified for standard-oi is a string or a list of objects whose last cdr is a string, then ld treats the string as a file name and opens an object input channel from that file, where the connected book directory (see cbd) is used to resolve relative pathnames. The channel opened by ld is closed by ld upon termination.
``Standard-oi'' stands for ``standard object input.'' The read-eval-print loop in ld reads the objects in standard-oi and treats them as forms to be evaluated. The initial value of standard-oi is the same as the value of *standard-oi*.

Weird concatenation issue
I am having some issues using the concatenation function on Flowjo. I have gated a group of whole blood samples down to a T cell gate. All the individual samples are CD45+ CD3+ however when I concatenate them a new population of CD45- CD- is apparently created which now comprises roughy 45% of the entire sample. Any ideas what is happening here? Thanks

Types of microwaves available on the Teka website
Our microwaves are designed so that as well as heating, you can also cook delicious recipes in next to no time. With your new Teka microwave, you can easily and quickly prepare healthy dishes. Within our range of Teka microwaves, you will find both built-in microwaves and freestanding microwaves with a capacity of up to 25 litres.
Built-in and freestanding microwaves
When you buy your built-in or freestanding Teka microwave, you will be able to install your microwave anywhere in the kitchen without worrying about style. With our easy Click Installation system, you can have your built-in microwave ready in just 5 minutes by simply using 4 screws. The new range of Teka microwaves is designed to be more practical and intuitive with easy-to-clean microwaves. When you purchase an integrated Teka microwave, you will get the best ally for daily operations in your kitchen.
Microwaves with grill
These days, as well as using microwaves for heating, we're using them more and more for cooking – whether this is down to a lack of time or simply because recipes taste great when microwaved. When you purchase a microwave with grill, you will get your dishes tasting as if they've just come out of the oven without needing to cook them for ages. Time will no longer be an issue when it comes to eating delicious healthy dishes thanks to Teka's built-in and freestanding microwaves with grills.
Flatbed microwaves
Our built-in microwaves feature new flatbed technology, replacing turntables and distributing heat throughout the food and heating it up more evenly. Thanks to this new technology, these microwaves are completely flat inside, allowing you to put wider dishes inside the microwave while also making lighter work of cleaning the appliance.
Combination oven: oven and microwave
When you purchase your combi oven, you will enjoy having two appliances in one. The perfect ally for your kitchen. An oven and microwave in the same 45-cm-high kitchen appliance. Teka's compact oven and microwaves offer up to 11 cooking functions, microwaves with up to 5 power levels and triple-glazed doors to prevent them from getting too hot and thus preventing potential accidents.
How do I know which type of microwave to buy?
The type of microwave you should choose depends on how you will use it on a daily basis. If you only use your microwave for heating up food, the best option is buying a simple mechanical or electric microwave. However, if you use your microwave as a major tool when cooking recipes, a microwave with grill may be the ideal option for you, enabling you to add that extra little something to your dishes.
What types of microwaves exist?
You can buy many different types of microwaves from Teka's range of microwaves. Each one of them is designed according to the different needs you may have. From freestanding microwaves for those kitchens with limited space to built-in microwaves so that they perfectly match your other kitchen appliances or even a microwave with grill for people who use microwaves as just another tool in the kitchen when cooking.
What is a flatbed microwave and what are its advantages?
Microwaves normally work thanks to a turntable which slowly revolves so that the food cooks evenly. Teka's new microwaves have replaced this turntable with a ceramic base, which heats and cooks food more evenly. What's more, the ceramic base has a larger surface and thus allows you to put larger dishes in the microwave and also facilitates the cleaning of the appliance.

veeblefeetzer ⇝
/vee'b*l-fetz'*/ (Or "veeblefeetzer"?) A purposely nonsensical sounding word applied to any sort of obscure or complicated object, e.g. a piece of computer code, model railroad equipment, auto parts, etc.
The more immediate origin of the word is "Mad" Magazine. In the late 1950s and early 1960s it used the word along the same lines, especially in its send-ups of big business. "North American Veeblefetzer" was the subject of satires of an annual reports, an in-house newsletter, and more. A Veeblefetzer, in their case, was a robot-like device that did something or other. The more distant source was probably a 19th century yiddish word, possibly with limited usage. In German, "Fetzer" is any contraption, while "Veeble" is a likely corruption of "Webel" -- meaning weaving. Textile mills of this period were crammed with very complicated, wildly active and very loud pieces of machinery. See also veeblefester. [veeblefeetzer or veeblefetzer?]Last updated: 1996-03-31
