A new associative memory cell is described and analysed using SPICE3d1. The CMOS cell uses current summation to compute, in parallel, Hamming distances between the search key and each word in the memory. For 32 bit words, SPICE simulations of a 2μm process show a delay of 4ns/bit for Hamming distances less than three.
An investigation of a fibre loop optical memory with active switching and amplifying elements and capable of random access is presented. Transmission of l.7 Gbit/s, 512 bit ATM-cells is achieved at BER = 10−9 for up to seven fibre loop round trips.
A single-transistor dynamic random access memory circuit using a GaAs/AlGaAs structure as the storage cell and modulation-doped field-effect transistors for memory accessing and output sensing has been developed. The functionality of the memory is demonstrated and a storage time of 5.4s is measured at room temperature.
An error correction technique is proposed to increase the noise margin of a multivalued MOS memory. The stored voltage information is first converted to a binary representation. The noise margin of the store voltage is then increased by storing and comparing the least significant bits of the binary representation.
Implementation of a winner-take-all (WTA) network suitable for implementing a nearest-match content-addressable memory (CAM) is presented. The resolution of the network in differentiating between words with large bit mismatches is presented. A measure of the time performance of the network is also given. A fully functional 16 word by 12 bit chip has been fabricated through MOSIS using 2 μm double-metal CMOS technology.
The implementation of a capacitive-access CAM cell along with its read/write circuitry are presented. Its advantages over a standard CAM cell are: feasibility of implementing multicell write operation, ready availability of masking of individual bits of a word for the write operation, and a higher order of cell data stability. A fully functional chip has been fabricated through MOSIS using 2 μm double-metal CMOS technology.
A RAM-based auto-associative neural network is described which has several desirable properties, including high storage capacity and absence of minima during recall. The system is implemented as a set of generalising RAM (GRAM) type nodes. The generalisation procedure is described, and comparisons with other types of autoassociator are drawn.
A linear time complexity algorithm to test RAMs is presented. The algorithm requires only 7n read/write operations and provides an extensive fault coverage. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is that a small test time can be achieved.
A three terminal bistable programmable memory cell which can be read either optically or electrically is proposed and demonstrated. The device is based on using Stark effect of the excitonic transitions in a multiquantum well base region of a heterojunction bipolar transistor. The single device can be flipped (and held) from low transmittance (high voltage) to high transmittance (low voltage) state and vice versa by a varying base current signal.

The Cannes International Film Festival is the most talked-about film festival of the year, where directors from around the world showcase their newest work, from the most challenging art cinema to the big blockbusters. For many years, Roger Ebert and a team of contributors have covered Cannes, and we are continuing that tradition with start-to-finish coverage from around the festival.
"Parasite," an acerbic class satire from the director Bong Joon-ho ("Okja"), took the Palme d'Or at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, marking the first time that the Palme has gone to a film from South Korea. At the awards ceremony, the jury president, Alejandro González Iñárritu, said the jury's decision to give "Parasite" the Palme was "absolutely unanimous."
"I'm so surprised," Bong said at the press conference that followed the awards ceremony. "I find it difficult to realize that this has actually happened." He credited the directors Alfred Hitchcock, Claude Chabrol, and Kim Ki-young (the original 1960 version of "The Housemaid") for their influences on "Parasite," and while accepting his award earlier, cited Henri-Georges Clouzot as well. He also said that this year marked the 100th anniversary of Korean cinema.
It was an evening of firsts at the awards ceremony. The Grand Jury Prize (second place) went to "Atlantics," whose director, Mati Diop, is the first black female director to have a feature compete at Cannes. Diop said that although it was her first full-length feature, it's a film that she had been thinking about for many years.
One of the jurors, Alice Rohrwacher ("Happy as Lazzaro"), said that "Atlantics" had appealed to them in part because of its original perspective. "It's a film that talks about a tragedy which we see daily," she said. "It's the tragedy of many young men and boys who die at sea, and it's told through cinematographic symbols, but from the standpoint of the women who stay behind." That led, she said, to "a broader understanding of the situation."
In a surprise, the Dardenne brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, won the best-director prize for their film "Young Ahmed," which was more wanly received than their previous work. Even so, Luc Dardenne pointed out that they had never won that particular prize at Cannes. "We were dreaming of it to a degree," he said, and noted that he had called the Coen brothers one of the times when they had won that prize. The Dardennes can add today's award to an imposing shelf of Cannes trophies that includes two Palmes d'Or (for "Rosetta" and "L'Enfant"), a Grand Jury Prize ("The Kid With a Bike"), and a screenplay award ("Lorna's Silence").
The Jury Prize was shared by another first feature, Ladj Ly's "Les Misérables," and the Brazilian film "Bacurau." "Les Misérables" is not an adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel but a contemporary drama about the relationship between the police and impoverished teenagers on the outskirts of Paris. Ly said that he had invited French president Emmanuel Macron to watch the film, and that they would be organizing a screening very soon.
The award for "Bacurau"—directed by the former film journalist Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles—came on the heels of an Un Certain Regard prize last night for another Brazilian film, Karim Aïnouz's "The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão." Like Aïnouz, Mendonça Fihlo and Dorcelles seized the spotlight to draw attention to the political situation in Brazil, where the far-right politician Jair Bolsonaro assumed the presidency in January.
"There is a general feeling that funding for the arts is now officially cut and slashed," Mendonça Fihlo said. "There are cuts for education. This is the moment we're basically trying to negotiate as Brazilian citizens and artists." When a journalist asked if, like Ladj Ly, Mendonça Fihlo thought it might be possible to invite Brazil's president to see the film and discuss the funding of national cinema with him, Mendonça Fihlo replied, "I think that's a beautiful idea." He noted that "Bacurau" is a Brazilian-French co-production, with half of its funding coming from Brazilian public money, which, he said, "we believe we used honestly with a lot of hard work."
He added, "I think Mr. Bolsonaro has every right to be invited and to watch 'Bacurau.' He might even like it."
Pedro Almodóvar, who was widely thought to be overdue for the Palme d'Or, saw his "Pain and Glory" take only a best-actor prize for Antonio Banderas, who plays a thinly veiled version the director. Banderas dedicated the award to Almodóvar in an acceptance speech that he said would be a "paella" for its blend of Spanish and English. At the press conference afterward, Banderas listed all the awards he had been up for in his career and never won. "To get up there tonight is not very good news for my cardiologist," he said.
Best Actress went to Emily Beecham for "Little Joe," directed by Jessica Hausner, in which she plays a scientist working on breeding a plant that is said to make people happy. On stage accepting the award, Beecham noted that she had gotten on a plane this morning after being tipped off and hadn't even packed her toothbrush.
Best Screenplay went to Céline Sciamma for "Portrait of a Lady on Fire," in what may have come as a disappointment to the film's fans, who thought that Sciamma might win the Palme. But at the press conference, Sciamma seemed gratified for the recognition for the film's script, which she said was "heavily written," and noted that only one scene was cut during editing. "To stand out in this way among my peers is a great source of satisfaction," she said.

Global Terrorism: 35,000 Worldwide Convicted For Terror Offenses Since 09/11

Global Terrorism: 35,000 Worldwide Convicted For Terror Offenses Since September 11 Attacks
At least 35,000 people worldwide have been convicted as terrorists in the decade since the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. But while some bombed hotels or blew up buses, others were put behind bars for waving a political sign or blogging about a protest.
In the first tally ever done of global anti-terror arrests and convictions, The Associated Press documented a surge in prosecutions under new or toughened anti-terror laws, often passed at the urging and with the funding of the West. Before 9/11, just a few hundred people were convicted of terrorism each year.
The sheer volume of convictions, along with almost 120,000 arrests, shows how a keen global awareness of terrorism has seeped into societies, and how the war against it is shifting to the courts. But it also suggests that dozens of countries are using the fight against terrorism to curb political dissent.
EDITOR'S NOTE: After the 9/11 attacks, the world launched a war on terror. Here, in the first tally of anti-terror prosecutions ever done, The Associated Press examines how many people have been put behind bars under anti-terror laws, and who they are. AP reporters in more than 100 countries filed requests under freedom of information laws, conducted interviews and gathered data for this story.
The AP used freedom of information queries, law enforcement data and hundreds of interviews to identify 119,044 anti-terror arrests and 35,117 convictions in 66 countries, accounting for 70 percent of the world's population. The actual numbers undoubtedly run higher because some countries refused to provide information.
That included 2,934 arrests and 2,568 convictions in the United States, which led the war on terror eight times more than in the decade before.
The investigation also showed:
_ More than half the convictions came from two countries accused of using anti-terror laws to crack down on dissent, Turkey and China. Turkey alone accounted for a third of all convictions, with 12,897.
_ The range of people in jail reflects the dozens of ways different countries define a terrorist. China has arrested more than 7,000 people under a definition that counts terrorism as one of Three Evils, along with separatism and extremism.
_ The effectiveness of anti-terror prosecutions varies widely. Pakistan registered the steepest increase in terror arrests in recent years, yet terror attacks are still on the rise. But in Spain, the armed Basque separatist group ETA has not planted a fatal bomb in two years.
_ Anti-terror laws can backfire. Authoritarian governments in the Middle East used anti-terror laws broadly, only to face a backlash in the Arab Spring.
"There's been a recognition all around the world that terrorism really does pose a greater threat to society," said John Bellinger, former legal adviser to the U.S. State Department. "Also, more authoritarian countries are using the real threat of terrorism as an excuse and a cover to crack down in ways that are abusive of human rights."
Since 9/11, almost every country in the world has passed or revised anti-terror laws, from tiny Tonga to giant China.
Turkey, long at odds with its Kurdish minority, tops all other countries AP could tally for anti-terror convictions and their steep rise. The Kurdistan Workers' Party is responsible for much of the violence in the country of 75 million.
Naciye Tokova, a Kurdish mother of two, held up a sign at a protest last year that said, "Either a free leadership and free identity, or resistance and revenge until the end." She couldn't read the sign, because she cannot read.
She was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison under anti-terror laws.
"Of course, I'm not a terrorist," said Tokova, who is free on appeal. She was defiant, replying curtly to questions after long pauses.
Turkey passed new and stricter anti-terror laws in 2006. Convictions shot up from 273 in 2005 to 6,345 in 2009, the latest year available, according to data AP got through Turkey's right to information law.
Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, says the country is fair to its Kurds.
"We have never compromised on the balance between security and freedom," Erdogan said.
Turkey clearly reflects the saying that one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. What makes a terrorist depends on where you are and whom you ask. In the U.S., the FBI, the CIA, the Defense Department and the State Department don't agree on what terrorism is.
"If anything should have revealed to the world the essence of unacceptable terrorism, it was 9/11. Unfortunately, a decade later, we seem no closer to reaching agreement," said law professor Kent Roach at the University of Toronto.
China considers terrorism part of a vague charge of "endangering state security," and calls strong laws necessary to ensure safety. The people arrested under the laws come mostly from Xinjiang, known as East Turkistan to ethnic Uighurs fighting for an independent homeland.
Two years ago, Uighur entrepreneur Dilshat Perhat warned visitors to his popular Uighur-language website not to post political comments. Even so, someone posted a call for a demonstration in the middle of the night.
Perhat deleted the comments the next day and informed the police, as required. But he was arrested anyway, convicted in a one-day trial and sentenced to five years in prison.
"They wanted to use him as an example, to threaten and show their power to the Uighur people," said Perhat's brother Dilmurat, a graduate student in the U.S. "Inside China, any peaceful protest by the Uighurs is labeled as an act of terrorism by the Chinese government."
The increase in anti-terror prosecutions worldwide reflects how much they have become a weapon, however blunt, against terrorism, but their record is spotty.
Pakistan had the steepest rise in terror arrests of any country the AP examined, with the help of billions of dollars from the U.S. Pakistan amended its terror laws in 2004. Arrests went up from 1,552 in 2006 to 12,886 in 2009, partly because of four military operations that year.
Yet terrorism in Pakistan is still on the rise, and only Iraq beats Pakistan for deaths from terror. One reason may be a conviction rate of only 10 percent in terrorism cases, compared to 90 percent in the U.S.
Like Pakistan, Spain is no stranger to terrorism, but has had some success fighting it. Spain has about 140 convictions a year, according to data from AP's freedom of information request.
ETA, the Basque separatist group, once was responsible for killings every month. Today it is severely weakened.
"The terrorist attacks 10 years ago on the World Trade Center and the Madrid bombings helped forge a strong feeling of rejection toward ETA," said Spanish journalist Gorka Landaburu, who is Basque and himself a victim of an ETA mail bomb in May 2001 that blew off his thumb and fingertips. "Society lost a bit of its fear."
Under tough new anti-terror laws passed after 9/11, convicted terrorists in Spain face a maximum of 40 years, 10 more than for other crimes.
"Every democratic country has to resort at one time or another to exceptional measures to defend itself," said Roman Cotarelo, a political science professor at Spain's Open University.
For Landaburu, the terror is still there, in his pinched brow and in the two bodyguards who follow him. When he gestures with his hands, which he often does, there's a stump where his thumb once was.
But he feels ETA's days are numbered.
"Things are much calmer," he said. "People can breathe more easily."
Anti-terror laws are still playing out in unexpected ways, particularly in the Middle East, long seen as the cauldron of terrorism.
After 9/11, many Middle Eastern countries quickly adopted strict anti-terror laws. Secular Tunisia used its 2003 laws to crack down on piety and protect against Islamic militancy. It convicted 62 people under the laws in 2006, 308 in 2007 and 633 in 2009, according to the U.N.
Former prisoner Saber Ragoubi joined an anti-government group in 2006 because he says he wanted religious freedom. The group was trained by an Algerian group that later declared allegiance to al-Qaida.
Ragoubi says he never held or planned to hold a weapon, but he did support plans to attack the police.
When the police found him, Ragoubi was tried and sentenced to life in prison. For years, he said, he was kicked and beaten, his hands and legs chained to an iron bar in what was called the "chicken on a spit" position. He said he was shackled to a metal chair and electrically shocked, and told his mother and sisters would be raped in front of him if he didn't sign a confession.
"To this day, I don't know how I bore all that torture during that time," said Ragoubi. He was just fitted with two new front teeth to replace the ones kicked out of his mouth by the heavy boot of a prison guard, he said.
Under former leader Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, as many as 2,000 Tunisians were detained, charged or convicted on terrorism-related charges. The U.N. says some were tortured.
But five days after Ben Ali fled in January, the new ministers released everyone convicted under the anti-terror laws, even those who had indeed committed violent crimes.
The role of anti-terror laws in and against the Arab Spring continues.
Bahrain and Syria have charged protesters under anti-terror laws. Saudi Arabia, citing concerns about al-Qaida, is considering an anti-terror law with a minimum prison sentence of 10 years for disloyalty to the king.
Ten years after 9/11, the push for a global assault on terrorism still runs strong. Mike Smith, director of the U.N.'s Counter-Terrorism Committee, calls prosecuting terrorists "incredibly important."
But almost everyone, including the U.N. and the U.S., agrees that the cost is some erosion of human rights.
"Originally the approach was the more the merrier, the stronger counter-terror laws, the better for the security of the world. But that was a serious mistake," said Martin Sheinin, U.N. special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism. "Nowadays people are realizing the abuse and even the actual use of counterterror laws is bad for human rights and also bad for actually stopping terrorism."
AP staff writers who contributed to this report include: Christopher Torchia from Turkey; Christopher Bodeen from China; Paul Schemm from Tunisia; and Ciaran Giles from Spain.

"I'm seeing this massive push toward authenticity in business, and consumers are craving authenticity. Especially if you look at what's going on with fake news. Media is moving toward this fake advertising where you can't really believe anything and no one knows what's actually really going on. So when a brand comes across as being genuine and authentic it's really appealing because there's something in us that seeks it out.
AllBirds tapped into that. They got in at a time where the likes of Nike and Adidas were trying to do these simple shoes but they're not a simple business, they're huge conglomerates. AllBirds just said hey, we're different, and our design ethos is 'simple is better', and we use honest products and we're going to tell you our story honestly and we're not ashamed to say we're small. All that sort of thing. And people just went - that's awesome."
"With a lot of the brands we're working with, if they're just honest and tell their story people really want to get on that journey and they want to feel like they're part of it. I think the whole being honest is a very powerful sales tool these days. And the content we are making these days is heading that way as well. We're making less ads and more of what I call infotainment. It's telling brand stories in a way that is engaging.
A great example is an organic tampon company [LOLA] that we worked with, based out of New York. They came to us to make some content to help launch the brand and we made them an ad and it was really cool and it was funny and it was aligned with their brand. We also recorded the founders talking about their first periods and why they came up with the brand and how they just discovered one day that it was insane that they didn't know what they were putting in their bodies. When they looked into it they found that tampons are full of chemicals and that the people who design tampons are a bunch of dudes. And they were like, what the fuck. So they built a brand around making a genuine product, making something that's healthy for women and something that everybody needs.
The ad that we put out did well and it got a couple million views which, from our standpoint, was a success. Then about a month later we put out the founder video and it blew up with over a million views in less than 24 hours. So many people were sharing the video which helped project them massively and now Lena Dunham has come on as one of their main investors. To me, the reason it did so well is because they've just been authentic and they're telling the story as it is and people are drawn to that."
Conversation with Wrestler owner Benjamin Forman.

The aim of this study was to determine plasma LECT2 levels in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and to correlate the results with various metabolic parameters.A total of 93 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and 80 age- and sex-matched nondiabetes mellitus ones were enrolled in the study. Plasma LECT2 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Circulating LECT2 levels were approximately 1.3 times higher in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients than in controls (mean 30.30 vs 23.23 ng/mL, P < .001). Correlation analysis showed that LECT2 was negatively associated with high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in type 2 diabetic patients and obese subjects (P < .05). In multiple stepwise regression analysis, HDL-C, HOMA-IR, BMI, FINS, and TG were significantly independent determinants for LECT2 (P < .05).Our study showed that circulating LECT2 concentrations are significantly higher in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and further elevated in obese type 2 diabetic patients. LECT2 concentrations are significantly negatively associated with HDL-cholesterol levels in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and obese subjects.

Mixed Nuts (1925)Countries - United States | MPAA Rating - NR
Share on
Synopsis by Janiss Garza
This two-reel Stan Laurel comedy was apparently made up of outtakes from 1922's The Pest, and parts of a much earlier film, Nuts in May. Laurel plays a book salesman (as he does in The Pest), but his only volume for sale is a biography of Napoleon Bonaparte. A brick hits him on the head, and he becomes convinced he is Napoleon. He gathers together his "troops" (actually a group of neighborhood children) and orders them to fire upon a house. The kids pelt the house with stones and the salesman is taken to a mental institution. After several escape attempts, he gets his hands on some nuts -- the edible, not the human kind. They're almost impossible to crack, and he steals a steamroller to get them open. He winds up in court once more, but finally he comes to his senses and becomes a book salesman again. This picture was rejected by its releasing company, Metro, and did not see the light of day until 1925, three years after it was made.

Stagecoach Foundation and Meow Wolf Present
Discovering the Art of Presence
Join us for a presentation by journalist Noah Nelson—a field report from the frontier of the Immersive Renaissance.
5pm at the Jean Cocteau Cinema
Presentation followed by Happy Hour
Tickets are free, but space is limited! Register before they run out.
Event Description:
The dawn of the Internet Age promised us an era of connection that would be unlike any other. No matter where you were in the world, you'd be able to find your tribe. Loneliness would be a thing of the past, as human potential was fulfilled.
What we got was Facebook and Twitter, Amazon Prime and YouTube: a world where the appearance of connection trumps the reality.
For the past five years, journalist Noah Nelson has been chronicling the response: the rise of immersive art and entertainment. From intimate theatre experiments in apartments to VR projects from pop culture's biggest names, a multigenerational cohort of creators and producers has answered the call to fulfill that broken promise.
To do so, they're calling upon every tool in the artistic palette — from music to magic — and along the way are discovering a new form: the Art of Presence.
Noah Nelson is the founder and publisher of No Proscenium, the self-styled Guide to Everything Immersive. As a public media journalist he's covered the arts, technology and politics beats for two decades. Mr. Nelson holds a Theatre Arts degree from San Francisco State University, and is currently using it to help organize the emerging immersive theatre and experiential arts community in Los Angeles, co-producing the Immersive Design Summit, and helping to define the frontier where the immersive arts roam wild.

The Effect Of Diet On The Maintenance Of Healthy Skin And The Dietary Sensitivity
Dietary components such as fatty acids, zinc, and certain proteins can help improve skin condition and control disease. Other constituents of the diet can aid the recovery of skin, such as non-allergenic carbohydrates, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients.
This strategy was incorporated into a therapeutic diet intended to aid the management of canine allergic skin disease, including atopy, flea allergy, and dietary sensitivity. Within a period of 6 weeks the dog presented significant skin and hair coat improvements.
"A dog suffering from allergic skin disease, including atopy, flea allergy, and dietary sensitivity can benefit from a naturally complete and balanced homemade diet, using highly available sources of protein, gluten-free, highly digestible carbohydrates, appropriates amounts of fatty acids and zinc, and alternative ingredients with natural anti-inflammatory/anti-bacterial/anti-biotic effects"
Nutritional dermatoses
Nutritional deficiencies are uncommon as a result of the widespread feeding of complete and balanced pet foods, however, reduced nutrient availability may arise when the animal 's intake is deficient, the diet is poorly formulated or stored, injudicious…

Trichomes (/ˈtraɪkoʊmz/ or /ˈtrɪkoʊmz/; from the Greek τρίχωμα - trikhoma meaning hair") are fine outgrowths or appendages on plants and certain protists. These are of diverse structure and function. Examples are hairs, glandular hairs, scales, and papillae.
Certain (usually filamentous) algae have the terminal cell produced into an elongate "hair-like" structure called a trichome. The same term is applied to such structures in some cyanobacteria, such as Spirulina and Oscillatoria. Cyanobacteria trichomes may be unsheathed, as in Oscillatoria, or sheathed, as in Calothrix.[1] These structures play an important role in preventing soil erosion, particularly in cold desert climates. The filamentous sheaths form a persistent sticky network that helps maintain soil structure.
Trichomes on plants are epidermal outgrowths of various kinds. The terms emergences or prickles refer to outgrowths that involve more than the epidermis. This distinction is not always easily applied (see Wait-a-minute tree). Also, there are nontrichomatous epidermal cells that protrude from the surface.
A common type of trichome is a hair. Plant hairs may be unicellular or multicellular, branched or unbranched. Multicellular hairs may have one or several layers of cells. Branched hairs can be dendritic (tree-like), tufted, or stellate (star-shaped).
A common type of trichome is the scale or peltate hair: a plate or shield-shaped cluster of cells attached directly to the surface or borne on a stalk of some kind.
Any of the various types of hairs may be glandular.
In describing the surface appearance of plant organs, such as stems and leaves, many terms are used in reference to the presence, form, and appearance of trichomes. The most basic terms used are glabrous—lacking hairs— and pubescent—having hairs. Details are provided by:
Hairs on plants are extremely variable in their presence across species, location on plant organs, density (even within a species), and therefore functionality. However, several basic functions or advantages of having surface hairs can be listed. It is likely that in many cases, hairs interfere with the feeding of at least some small herbivores and, depending upon stiffness and irritability to the "palate", large herbivores as well. Hairs on plants growing in areas subject to frost keep the frost away from the living surface cells. In windy locations, hairs break-up the flow of air across the plant surface, reducing evaporation. Dense coatings of hairs reflect solar radiation, protecting the more delicate tissues underneath in hot, dry, open habitats. And in locations where much of the available moisture comes from cloud drip, hairs appear to enhance this process.
Root hairs, the rhizoids of many vascular plants, are tubular outgrowths of trichoblasts, the hair-forming cells on the epidermis of a plant root. That is, root hairs are lateral extensions of a single cell and only rarely branched. Just prior to the root hair development, there is a point of elevated phosphorylase activity.
Root hairs vary between 5 and 17 micrometres in diameter, and 80 to 1,500 micrometres in length (Dittmar, cited in Esau, 1965).
Root hairs can survive for 2 to 3 weeks and then die off. At the same time new root hairs are continually being formed at the top of the root. This way, the root hair coverage stays the same.
It is therefore understandable that repotting must be done with care, because the root hairs are being pulled off for the most part. This is why planting out may cause plants to wilt.
Though trichomes are rarely found preserved in fossils, trichome bases are regularly found, and in some cases their cellular structure is an important diagnostic with respect to systematics.
Bean leaves have been used historically to trap bedbugs in houses in Eastern Europe. The trichomes on the bean leaves capture the insects by impaling the feet (tarsi) of the insects. The leaves would then be destroyed.[2]

EU leaders have agreed an extension to the Article 50 process, effectively postponing Brexit temporarily to allow the UK to work out how it wishes to proceed.
The UK has been offered a delay until May 22 on the proviso MPs agree the third iteration of Theresa May's withdrawal deal, which she is expected to try to bring back to the Commons next week.
However, speaker of the house John Bercow – citing a ruling dating to 1604 – says he will block a third vote unless the prime minister can demonstrate substantial change to the bill.
MPs voted down May's initial withdrawal agreement in January by a record 230 votes. A second vote following renegotiation with the EU was defeated by 149 votes.
If MPs do not back May's deal, the EU will permit a shorter delay until April 12 to allow the UK to agree a deal or "indicate a way forward".
May initially pursued a June 30 extension. However, this was rejected by the EU on the grounds it would clash with European Parliamentary elections.
The prime minister has said MPs now have a choice between leaving in an "orderly manner" or face the prospect of the country fielding candidates for the elections three years after the vote to leave.
She has also ruled out revoking Article 50, the legal mechanism allowing the UK to leave the European Union, after a petition urging her to do so achieved more than one million signatures in less than 24 hours.
The petition has now been signed by more than 2.5 million people.

I don't know what it is about poetry teatime that makes it so special. I can't exactly say why it works. Is it the fancy teacups or the tiny cubes of sugar? Could it possibly be the allure of the store bought blueberry muffins?
I have a nursing baby and a hurricane of a two year old, so it is no small feat to get this done. It certainly takes some exercise of the will, but I do it every week. I clear the table and pull out the tablecloth, sometimes baby in arms. On the days when my will bends and I consider skipping it just this one time, my 8 year old son steps in to help. My 6 year old daughter, with a bit of coaxing, will also help set the table.
With the table set and the tea poured, we begin to dive into poetry books. I read a few poems, pass the book around with some small post its and they mark poems and pass it back. I read more poems. Sometimes they read a poem or two.
The poems are equipping my children with the words that I could never bring them myself. With those words come the experience of places unseen, people unknown, and the ordinary unveiled. All of it so eagerly gulped down with tea and the store bought blueberry muffins.
I snap a picture and all looks blissful, but outside of that frame there is a much different story. The baby may or may not be crying and the two year old is most definitely making a mess somewhere. Depending on the day my bigs may also be mid tantrum, but poetry teatime goes on. I take the picture to remember it all. My hope is that they will remember, too.
I look forward to the day when poetry teatime is a peaceful interlude in our day, but until then I'll embrace the chaos that it is. A little chaos is totally worth it when they absolutely love something!

SCOTT SIMON, host:
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon.
This coming Wednesday marks the fifth anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq. So far 3,975 U.S. service men and women have died. Estimates on the number of Iraqis killed range from 47,000 to 151,000, depending on the source. We're going to talk about some of what the war has meant and what the future might hold with two U.S. senators.
But first, when the country was debating the war back in 2002, James Webb, former assistant secretary of defense and secretary of the Navy under President Reagan, put a piece in the Washington Post asking, do we really want to occupy Iraq for the next 30 years? Mr. Webb, of course, is now a Democrat and U.S. senator from Virginia. He joins us from Capitol Hill.
Senator Webb, thanks very much for being with us.
Senator JAMES WEBB (Democrat, Virginia\): Nice to be with you.
SIMON: Five years ago you asked, is there an absolutely vital national interest that should lead us from containment to unilateral war in the long-term occupation of Iraq. So, five years later, did the U.S. have a compelling national interest in toppling a tyrant in that region?
Sen. WEBB: No, it did not. And in fact, in the post-9/11 environment, the strategic relevance of Iraq per se was dramatically reduced. I like to say that the people who argued successfully that an invasion of Iraq was the proper strategic answer to the 9/11 and post-9/11 environment had it exactly backwards.
International terrorism became a global concern, much more than it ever had been before. And there was not a direct nexus between international terrorism and the regime in Iraq, however despicable that regime was. It was not in the national interest of the United States to fall into what I have called a double-strategic mousetrap by invading one country, decapitating the government and being required then to occupy that country for a period of years like this in burning up our fore structure and our economy and taking our eye off of the larger strategic issues.
SIMON: And as you see it, Senator Webb, what would the cost of occupation be?
Sen. WEBB: Well, you mentioned the casualties a couple of minutes ago. There's also been an incredible displacement inside Iraq. And then beyond that, this region now is far more unstable. And then on top of that, I think that you could make a direct connection with the instability of the United States' economy and the increase in international power and prestige of China to what has happened in Iraq.
When I first wrote the Washington Post article that you mentioned in September of '02, oil was $24 a barrel. Yesterday it was $111 a barrel - an all-time high. Gold was, I think, below $300 an ounce. Yesterday it was above $1,000 an ounce for the first time in history.
And all of these considerations intersect when you're looking at how a nation pursues its larger strategic interests and how you protect yourself not only in terms of direct security but in terms of your economic power and your influence around the world.
SIMON: You've been to Iraq, haven't you, senator?
Sen. WEBB: Yes, I have. And my son served in Iraq as an enlisted infantry Marine.
SIMON: What do you make of those Iraqis who now caution that for the first time in years really they have some chance at normal lives because of the increase of U.S. troops and they're concerned about a withdrawal?
Sen. WEBB: I think that if you look at the United States military presence in Iraq, particularly after the Saddam Hussein regime was taken out - in classical strategic terms, our military has been in what is called a holding action. The United States military is not capable in and of itself of bringing major political change.
Without a larger strategic umbrella, regional umbrella, in terms of international diplomacy and without the ability of the Iraqi government to come to some sort of agreement on its future, it's not going to really have the kind of long-term impact that people are hoping for.
SIMON: Senator Webb, among the interviews that Prime Minister Blair gave when he was leaving office - obviously a lot of them touched on Iraq - and he said, look, if the United States and the United Kingdom hadn't done that, years later we would be saying, look, here's a man who continued, Saddam Hussein who continued to defy the U.N. inspectors and brutalized his own people. And if we allowed him to do that for another 10 years, in the end people would say why did we let that go on?
Sen. WEBB: I completely disagree. Saddam Hussein had become less relevant in the equation. And in fact the Iraqi government was cooperating with United Nations weapons inspectors. Moving into this country that was not directly threatening us, decapitating a government and then having to occupy this country has dramatically affected the strategic ability of the United States to do a lot of other things that would have been far more useful.
SIMON: Thank you very much, sir.
Sen. WEBB: Thank you.
SIMON: Senator James Webb of Virginia.

It's finally getting chilly here in Brisbane. Slippers, extra moisturiser, socks, wheat packs and doonas are all part of the nightly bedtime routine now. Reis and I have each had our 'changing weather' cold too. With many of us suffering these colds, a bit of chicken soup to warm the body has been in need. This my friends, is a Chinese Chicken Hot Pot. Cooked in the slow cooker, it produces chicken which is so succulent it can be cut with a fork and emanates inviting aromas throughout the home.
Serves: 6 Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 8 hours
1.5kg chicken theighs (no need to chop it will practically melt appart with the slightest touch of a fork)
1L chicken stock
500ml chinese wine (can find this at the supermarket in asian cooking aisle, AKA chinese rice wine or shao hsing wine)
1/2 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/3 firmly packed brown sugar (or 1/4 cup of stevia if you prefer sugar free)
4 whole garlic cloves
5cm ginger, sliced thinly
3 star anise
1 tsp chinese five-spice (in spice aisle f supermarket)

500g buk choy, chopped coarsely
1/3 cup coriander, chopped coarsely
1 fresh long red chilly, deseeded and sliced thinly
rice noodles (in asian aisle of supermarket)
sesame seeds, small handful
1. Combine water, stock, cooking wine, sauces, sugar, garlic, ginger, spices and chilli in 4.5L slow cooker. Add chicken, cook covered, on low, 8 hours.
2. Remove chicken thighs; strain broth through sieve into a large bowl. Discard solids. Cover chicken to keep warm. Return broth to cooker and add buk choy to cook for 5 minutes. Meanwhile steam rice noodles.
3. Serve chicken with boychoy, rice noodles and drizzle broth over the top. Spinkle with sesame seeds, sliced chilli and corriander.
Have you tried Chinese Chicken Hot Pot before? What else works in the slow cooker for you?
