|A simple zonally averaged coupled ocean–atmosphere model, with a relatively high resolution in the meridional direction, is used to examine physical mechanisms leading to transient amplification of thermohaline circulation (THC) anomalies. It is found that in a stable regime, in which small perturbations eventually decay, there are optimal initial conditions leading to a dramatic amplification of initial temperature and salinity anomalies in addition to the THC amplification. The maximum amplification occurs after about 40 years, and the eventual decay is on a centennial time scale. The initial temperature and salinity anomalies are considerably amplified by factors of a few hundreds and 20, respectively. The initial conditions leading to this amplification are characterized by mutually canceling initial temperature and salinity anomalies contributions to the THC anomaly, such that the initial THC anomaly vanishes. The mechanism of amplification is analyzed and found to be the result of an interaction between a few damped (oscillatory and nonoscillatory) modes with decay time scales lying in a range of 20–800 years. The amplification mechanism is also found to be distinct from the advective feedback leading to THC instabilities for large freshwater forcing.

A game for learning how to do massage I guess?
Using the wiimote.
I was thinking it's more like putting the wiimote on your back and then it starts vibrating. Good old fashioned vibration massage.
with additional massage accessories for your wiimote.
From the ESRB:
This is a massage simulation game in which players match patterns in order to perform back massages on clients. Players are prompted to rub specific areas of clients' backs in order to relax them.
After massages are performed correctly, players are presented with images of the female clients in various poses (e.g., lounging on a beach in a bikini, playing golf while wearing a short skirt and a cleavage-bearing top, or straddling a motorcycle). Players can also move the camera and zoom in on the reward pictures.
AW no nakedness...
Great. Just what I like to see. Low-res cartoon pictures of women with man faces. :/
Massages, eh? Where?
And here I thought the Wii was for kids, tsk tsk tsk, Nintendo, tsk tsk tsk...
*Goes to play*
I guess we can expect more of this stuff for Kinect

Are We Paying for Kershaw?
I open up FanDuel to start building a lineup for Monday and there it is: $13,200! Clayton Kershaw's price. OK, shift over to DraftKings... $14,000. Shit. Well, let's dig in a little more.
Lineup Structure
Choosing Kershaw as your starting pitcher on FanDuel leaves you with $2,725 per remaining player. That's Brandon Moss, Maikel Franco, and Neil Walker territory. It's doable, you just won't have any studs in that lineup.
Among starting pitchers, the all time career leader in K%-BB% is Stephen Strasburg at 22.7%. Kershaw is at 33% for the year!
Kershaw gets the Reds in L.A. on Monday. Cincinnati has been an above average team against lefties this year with a team wOBA of .327 (8th best), and 99 wRC+ (10 best). They only strike out 18% of the time. However...

I am, utterly, a creature of the seasons. Spring feels like the long stretch after an afternoon nap, and I find myself daydreaming about pinks and greens, contemplating bolts of linen that will be sewn into summer suits, rummaging about in the suitcases for cotton cardigans and short sleeve blouses that will be washed and dried on the back balcony in anticipation.
Summer is about painted toe nails and sashaying about in favourite floral frocks. Drinking a glass of pinot by the Harbour with Mr Tall Dark and Handsome, watching the tourists from the day's monster liner moored at The Quay scatter like ants, blinking in the harsh summer light. Brushing the remnants of sand from your skin and the taste of salt on your lips from an afternoon spent floating on the skin of the sea, or the smell of rain on the concrete as the evening rain washes away the blistering humidity of another 40 degree day.
I have a love/hate relationship with This City, but I struggle to hate it in summer. Despite the humid nights that make sleep impossible, December is when I really thank The Universe that I was lucky enough to be born in this country. The joy of Christmas morning as children race neighbourhood streets on new pushbikes, squealing with delight. Taking the whole of January off, to laze about with summer books and endless afternoons of doing nothing, hopscotching the puddles of frangipani fallen on the footpath and the early morning Magpie song; I truly do not want to be anywhere else.
January disappears in the blink of an eye, and February is when the Australian work year really starts. Before we know it March is here (yipee for March) and the sun starts rising a little later. All of a sudden you find yourself pulling a cotton cardi across your shoulders, or paddling about your floorboards in folded-over cotton socks. The leaves quietly fade as autumn red slowly seeps into their veins.
And I find, in these early Autumn days, my thoughts turning to food. And I'm not talking about the quick fix of smoked salmon on light as air crackers, or home grown tomatoes with chopped up basil and a grind of black pepper. I'm talking about Autumn food and I find myself spending the early evening browning chicken pieces or braising beef, pouring home made stock into cast iron pots, chopping vegetables and shredding herbs and letting it bubble away until the golden afternoon turns pink and orange and your tummy tells you it's time to lift the lid and see how it all turned out.
Food has become obscenely fashionable in this city of show-offs, and I find my cheeks turning pink at the thought of writing about food – the world hardly needs another food blogger telling you all about the latest food fad. I've never been a follower of anything, and I'm hardly going to start now. What I'm interested in is educating myself in all the stuff I don't know, trying ingredients I've never tried before, or trying things in ways I've never imagined.
And, as I have my days to myself at the moment, it's the kitchen I keep returning to. Either to leaf through reference books contemplating the seasonality of food, or to flick through the newest glossy magazine, which adds to the repertoire. Blogs, for better or worse, are a diary of days, a peek inside otherwise unknown lives. They are an extraordinary way of connecting with people whose paths we might never cross in the real world. At the risk of appearing to be yet another foodie wannabe, I hope you'll come back, break bread and perhaps share what things are filling your belly and possibly replenishing your soul right now.

Prescott campus continues to develop a dynamic series of strategic foreign language offerings in Mandarin Chinese, Modern Arabic, Russian, and Spanish. Students can take these languages during the regular semesters. Four-Year Chinese study (GSIS/Chinese Track), minors, study abroad programs, and other opportunities are available. Dr. Leeann Chen is the Foreign Language Coordinator.
ERAU's Project GO Chinese summer 2017 is described in detail on the Project GO website. In general terms, the program offers 9 credits of Chinese at 3 levels of study. ROTC students, by the end of spring 2017, 1) having had 10-12 credits of college Chinese can apply for Intermediate I program; 2) those with 20 college Chinese credits or 2 years of daily college Chinese classes can apply for the Intermediate II program; and 3) those with 20+ credits or 2/3 years of Chinese and study abroad can apply for the advanced program. ERAU Project GO is the only advanced Project GO Chinese program in the nation. Please contact Dr. Chen if you have any questions.
Tuition, room and board, visa fees, airfare, and local travel will be paid for. Competition is intense. Please complete the attached application thoroughly and carefully and ask your detachment commander to complete the commander recommendation for you. The deadline of the complete application package is January 17, 2017. Please email the completed application to Dr. Chen at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Project GO Commander Recommendation
Embry-Riddle Prescott offers a four-semesters course (12 credit hours) of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which is the language of all official forms of communication and media throughout the Arab world. In LAR 101 to LAR 202, MSA is taught with introductions to some of the most commonly understood dialects in the Arab world. Throughout the MSA course, the cultural aspect of Arabic is integrated in the course materials and students learn and gain information about the cultural aspect of the Arab world.
Students have the opportunity to study abroad during the summer, where they immerse in one of the Arab countries, learn MSA, experience the culture, and earn summer credits upon completion of the program.
The 4-year program is combined with the Global Security and Intelligence (GSIS) degree program, called the GSIS/Chinese track. On this track, students take the same number of credits as other GSIS students (122 credits total),with 45 of the 122 credits taken in Chinese. Although the program does not require any Chinese language proficiency to enroll, at graduation, most students reach advanced level proficiency on national tests, a level equivalent to having a Chinese degree.Individuals with some level of proficiency of the Chinese language may qualify for Advanced Standing or Placement.
There is language incentive pay for qualifying courses for ROTC students. Please check with the Air Force ROTC and Army ROTC.
The Chinese Minor includes 18 credits, usually from LCH101 to LCH302.
The Prescott Campus offers four semesters (12 credits) of Spanish language. Courses also include lessons on the history, culture, and politics of countries where Spanish is spoken as the first language.
Spanish is the world's second most common language, after Mandarin Chinese and before English, in terms of the number of first-language speakers. At least 37 million people in the United States alone use Spanish as their first language. Although Spanish speakers are concentrated in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America, it is also spoken in countries across the globe like Equatorial Guinea, Africa.
The Russian program has 12 credits, starting from zero beginning. The course work is spread across two years of study, each semester 3 credits.

At Tequila Works, we have been interested in VR from very early on. As a studio, our mantra is Create with Gusto, and as such we needed to figure out how can we create an experience that is unique to VR, that can carry a strong storyline with adapted gameplay session and replayability.
This made us think that we needed to think about a new approach to tell stories in VR. This is when we met with Rob Yescombe, a well-recognized game and movie writer and started to work on The Invisible Hours, 2 years ago.
One of the best things about games, is that each player can have different experiences of the same moment. These kinds of contrasting experiences are great at generating word-of-mouth and replayability. This is easier to achieve in games where the focus is on ACTION; where there are lots of variables that can be generated by physics and mechanics. But it's harder to create this kind of organic-feeling contrasting experience in a game's STORY.
When we had our big re-reveal of Rime at the beginning of the year, the response was amazing. Our puzzle adventure game, inspired by the Mediterranean Sea and watercolor paintings, really struck a chord with a lot of people. And for all the people working on the project, it was the first time that the reality of the situation hit — after nearly four years in development, Rime is close to being released.
And now we can be even more specific and are excited to confirm that Rime is coming to PS4 on May 26!
Developer Tequila Works are sneaky. Currently hard at work on their upcoming adventure game, RiME, that didn't stop them cramming hundreds of tiny details into the latest trailer. We cornered creative director, Raul Rubio Munarriz, and cracked out the thumb screws to bring you every hidden detail you almost certainly will have missed.
Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation.Blog?

Nashville, NC (PRWEB) May 06, 2015
On March 30, 2015, after a six-week and one day jury trial in Nashville, North Carolina, Hoyt Tessener and Hunt Willis of the Raleigh law firm Martin & Jones along with co-counsel Kent Emison of Langdon & Emison, reached a confidential settlement with Ford Motor Company on behalf of a sixteen-year-old boy who suffered life-altering injuries from the two-point lap belt he was wearing in a car accident that rendered him paraplegic. The boy was eleven years old at the time of the accident.
The lawsuit stemmed from an August 2010 accident in which the child was one of three backseat passengers in a 1999 Ford Escort driven by his mother in Nash County, when a vehicle pulled out directly into the path of the family's Escort and collided with the Escort's front end. Despite driving below the speed limit, the mother was unable to stop.
The child, who was in the middle seating position, "jackknifed" over the lap belt and suffered severe spinal cord and abdominal injuries that left him confined to a wheelchair. He was the only person wearing a two-point lap belt, and consequently, the only occupant who suffered devastating and permanent injuries. The other four occupants of the Escort are fully recovered.
Two-point belts, or lap belts, concentrate the crash forces on the abdomen, exposing vital organs and the lower spinal column to serious injuries, such as those sustained by the child. Emison told the jury the child's injuries were directly caused by the defective lap belt and that if he had been wearing a lap-shoulder belt, his injuries would not have been as severe.
Numerous documents showed the extent of Ford's knowledge of the defect since the 1960s. In 1967, Ford's biomechanics department manager wrote a paper that clearly stated lap belts provide no upper body support, allowing the body to jackknife over the belt and causing severe spinal injuries.
"Ford knew for decades that lap belts were dangerous and caused severe injuries, yet the automaker refused to install safer seatbelts in all seating positions, knowing that for as little as $12 per vehicle, children like our client could have been kept safe from harm," said Emison. Tessener stated that, "We are pleased to obtain this settlement on behalf of our client and hope this outcome provides him with the promise of a better future."
The trial took place in the Superior Court Division of Nash County, North Carolina presided over by Superior Court Judge Thomas H. Lock. The case is Amos Tyndall, as Guardian Ad Litem for Che-Val Batts v. Ford Motor Co. and Alejandro Ortiz Rios, case number 11-CVS-86.

Romanian and foreign speakers will present the latest news about cyber security, cyber warfare, mechanisms to identify and prevent cyber attacks and new vulnerabilities and problems met, coupled with evening sessions where they will present specific case studies.
In collaboration with the organizers, we offer the chance to win 3 free tickets to take part in this unique event. How can you win? Details at the end of the article.
DefCamp 2014 is by far the largest event in the field of computer security & hacking in Romania, but also one of the largest in Central and Eastern Europe, and are expected in the capital over 600 participants from Romania and neighboring countries, participants with levels varied experience – from students and pupils to industry leaders, opinion makers and experts in cyber security and research.
Among the confirmed speakers include Mika Lauhde Vice President @ Government Relations and Business Development – SSH Communication Security and Paul de Souza, Director @ Cyber Security Forum Initiative (CSFI) – the two keynotes, supported by Selene Giupponi, Head of Digital Forensics Unit @ The Security Brokers, Paolo "ASPY" Giardini, Director @ OPSI, Roger W. Kuhhn JR. – CSFI Advisory Board Director, Raoul "Nobody" Chiesa President @ The Security Brokers.
"The event this fall is certainly expected by many Romanian and beyond; research and issues identified during the year related to the virtual environment will be discussed by leaders in the field both in Europe and the USA. We estimate that this year we will have the highest density of computer security specialists per square meter in the last 5 years. Activities, experiences and the DefCamp community managed to grow each year's event."Said Andrei Avadanei, founder and coordinator (a.k.a. The Godfather) of the DefCamp conferences.
In a new turn of events, the conference will be preceded this year by training's. Together with Cyber Security Forum Initiative, the largest organization of IT security experts from the USA with over 50,000 members, we bring for the first time in Central and Eastern Europe training that strengthens your core principles to plan and execute operations in cyberspace – Cyber Warfare Operations & Design. This is reinforced by two other workshops organized in partnership with Security Brokers Academy: Digital Forensics – gives an overview of the techniques used when extracting information or analysis of digital media and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) – the courses goal is to provide information about what intelligence analysis means focusing on open source analysis coupled with practical utility.
Among the important activities this year include:
- DefCamp Capture The Flag (CTF-D), one of the biggest competitions in Eastern and Central Europe of it kind
- Free Pentest on Demand, free security tests for conference participants
- Target John, Hack The Machine, App2Own – competitions for fans of mysteries and secrets of cyber security
DefCamp always encouraged university and high school students to take part, to know the international IT security aspect as well and find new ways to put into practice all the knowledge acquired so far.
And this year, like any other year, students receive 50% off the ticket price.

Victor Dodon
And surprise!
Also two extra tickets have been issued to Kristo and Rotariu Dan-Andrei.
The two extra tickets were awarded based on the comments (reasoning) of the participants of this contest.
Unfortunately Kristo was unable to confirm his details and participation therefore, as mentioned before, he forfeited his ticket.
No other extraction will be made for the extra ticket we have due to the short time frame left available for us.
Congratulations once again to all of the participants and be sure to check back @cazacubogdan.com for more news, trends, posts and contests!
We wish you a eventful conference @DefCamp2014!

Is the desire and ability to loaf while out of site and still get paid the basis of what motivates people who want to work from home or is there more to it? This week on The Guardian Podcast with Ryn Melberg, the controversial topic of the geographically diverse or dispersed Agile team is the topic. Ryn has spent a number of years in her career working on such teams and lately has coached several others. Her experiences combined with her love of "business science" brought some surprising insights.
What Motivates The Knowledge Worker?
According to Ryn, autonomy, purpose and mission are the three key motivators for knowledge workers. Knowledge workers are not limited to programmers or code writers, but people who use critical thinking skills to accomplish their work. In this context, a police officer, retail store manager or professional football player are all knowledge workers. During the podcast, Ryn cited Peter Drucker and his findings about the best ways to motivate those who know far more about their jobs than their bosses do. Pay is not the number one motivator. "If your employer is willing to pay the going rate for people then money will not be an issue," Ryn said. "If the money offered is below the average then workers will feel unmotivated, but if they are paid the 'going rate' money is a non-influencer."
For the geographically diverse employee working from an alternative location is part of the 'autonomy value'. "When Yahoo revoked the work from home privileges of their employees, they were cancelling autonomy or one third of what motivates knowledge workers," Ryn told her audience. "And it's no surprise that Yahoo is essentially for sale because of poor performance in the marketplace that can ne attributed to this and other bad management decisions made for their knowledge work force."
Business Costs of Geographic Diversity
Ryn is very candid when discussing the expense needed to maintain employees spread out across the country or the world. "Companies will have to buy more licenses for web conferencing and spend more on security since all work will be done over the Internet," she said. "There is also a sacrifice of team cohesiveness and camaraderie that are lost when people work in different places."
Stand Up Meetings For Multiple Locations
Addressing the practical ceremonies of Agile, Ryn allowed that stand up meetings and Kanban boards were more challenging to manage when everyone was not in the same place. "You can still have these, but it is pretty hard," Ryn said. "But even for those who are physically dispersed you should respect the team by also standing during that time of the stand up meeting. Technology will have to be used to communicate the Kanban board or user stories but it is possible.
The Limits of Technology
While technology makes working and participating with teams possible, there is still a lot to be said for the interpersonal nature of communications that can only happen when people are physically together. "Working together in general requires more creativity like photos of colleagues, web cams etc. but it can and should be done," Ryn concluded.
The Guardian Podcast is the only weekly podcast of its kind anywhere that deals with Agile, Scrum, Scaled Agile, and issues of governance. The Guardian Podcast can be heard on iTunes, Soundcloud or www.rynmelberg.com.

Nicole Richie And Joel Madden Are Married
This isn't a huge surprise , and as far as I can tell, there hasn't been an official announcement, but People is reporting that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden tied the knot last night in Los Angeles at Lionel Richie's home.
"They wanted an Old Hollywood, glamorous feel to their wedding," says another source. "They're going all-out with the decor. Nicole wanted a memorable, elegant affair for only their closest friends and family on their special day."About 130 people reportedly attended the wedding, but one wedding guest got a lot of attention.
…a trained elephant was spotted being led into the Los Angeles estate of Richie's father, music superstar Lionel Richie, where two tents were set up for the ceremony on a warm evening.
Besides the elephant (I don't know WHAT to say about that- lol), the ceremony was traditional.
Their rings were by jeweler Neil Lane, who also crafted Richie's 4-carat engagement ring, a source tells PEOPLE.Well, if this is true (I'm guessing it is), then congratulations! (imnotobsessed)

Cuesta 3, College of the Sequoias 1
The Cougars (4-2-1) took an early lead they never relinquished against the Giants.
Ruby Navarro and Cherish Bonomi hooked up twice to give the Cougars an early 2-0 lead. Twelve minutes in, Navarro scored off a pass from Bonomi. Six minutes later, Navarro received a long throw-in from Bonomi and knocked it home.
The Giants cut the lead to 2-1 before Cuesta answered when Kaysa Woods scored off a Kayla Navius corner kick.
Maria Monticelli was in goal most of the game for the Cougars, getting six saves.
Cuesta at Western State Conference Preview
The Cougars had their best combined finish in school history at the conference preview meet in Oxnard, according to cross country coach Brian Locher.
Led by the runnerup finish of former Paso Robles High standout Travis Hallanan, the Cougars' men finished second out of 12 teams.
Hallanan's time of 20 minutes, 2 seconds was seven seconds behind that of Glendale's Rico Gutierrez on the four-mile course.
Chris Gobell finished fifth for Cuesta in 20:43, while Gordon Sturgess was 16th in 21:09.
On the women's side, Kristen Hessick's time of 19:42 over the 5K course was good for ninth, while Lizzie Uscanga finished 13th in 19:52.

Bernard tallied the only two goals for Cuesta against Delta.
Cougars goalie Loren Kasenberg made 13 combined saves in the two matches.
"We're starting to move forward and break out of some of our young habits," Cuesta coach Pete Schuler said. "We're making progress and trying to be more consistent."
The Cal Poly swims team opened their season with a pentathlon meet against Cal at the Anderson Aquatic Center.
Senior Peter Kline led the men's team with a seventh-place finish, while sophomore Angie Haven was tops for the women's side at 13th place.
The pentathlon is a five-race event — the 100 butterfly, the 100 backstroke, the 100 freestyle, the 100 breaststroke and the 100 individual medley. The competitors add their times together and the lowest overall is named the winner.
Kline, the returning Big West champion in the 200 backstroke and 400 individual medley, finished in an overall time of 4:23.57. His best placing was fourth in the freestyle (47.02).

Cal freshman Marcin Tarczynski won the men's meet in 4:13.99 after taking first in the freestyle (46.13) and the individual medley (50.55).
Haven led the women's team with a total time of 5:00.69, and her third place in the breaststroke was the highest finish of all Mustangs in any event.
Freshman Jill Jones (5:04.47) and junior Gloria Benefield (5:04.86) placed 18th and 19th,respectively, for Cal Poly.
Cal sophomore Caitlin Leverenz was the best all-around women's swimmer in 4:48.03 without winning an event.

Other things of interest?
I've been thinking some more about this page... there's so many things that I come across that make me think "Oooh, that'd be a great subject to discuss" or "Wow, that's a great track, maybe I'll put a link on the webpage?" but it occurs to me that if everything is all on the same page, it's much easier (and entertaining) for you. So, what I'll be doing at regular intervals is putting in little 'interest' sections between my usual posts so that if you visit this page more often, there'll be a little bit of something new/different/interesting while you're waiting for the next podcast!
Firstly, I'd love for you to hear some of the other podcasters, some of the music specifically. I love Qtouch radio and I want you have the chance to check out some of their tracks. Check this out!
Now, how about something a little bit different?
This is a podcast about working with Angels.. it's only 16 minutes long so you could listen to this while having a cup of coffee! It's a lovely short 'Angel Energy Burst'.
And Finally... something along the lines of shamanic reiki healing!
This is a lady from London who does a 'nonsense busting' connected with healing expectations! Great stuff, I love her directness!
And there you have it! A little collection pool of worldwide podcast wisdom, passion and experience! I hope this helps to keep you checking back to see what's going on with the page! Enjoy!

The Death of the Fossil Fuel Industry
The massive reduction of the cost of solar and wind power and utility scale battery storage has sent shockwaves through the fossil fuel industry, particularly the coal industry which supplies around 80% of the worlds electricity. In North America for example the coal industry has lost about 90% of the share market value because investors can clearly see the writing on the wall due to the explosive growth of natural gas power plants over the last decade or so.
Investors have walked away from the coal industry because they see no future in it. The Natural Gas Industry there's also threatened with the same result, due to the exponential reduction in cost of solar and wind power at the utility scale.
Most of the oil industry who's blind to the development of solar and wind, and the forecasts coming out of the industry show that they think that they have many decades of healthy oil sales ahead of him. What the oil industry does not take into account is the massive disruption of the transport sector that is about to occur due to the introduction of Transport as a service.
Transport as a service will row explosively over the next 45 years, and it will be based around electric vehicles that are autonomously driven. An electric vehicle is around 5 times as efficient is it petrol driven alternative, and even if power generation continues using fossil fuels, there will be a massive reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels due to this increased efficiency.
The problem for the fossil fuel industry is that once this reduction in market demand becomes apparent then all the investment money that is currently pouring into the fossil fuel industry will disappear and instead transferred to the renewable power industry, solar and wind. The feedback effect on the fossil fuel extraction and processing industry will be vicious, and suddenly the world will see that they do not need as much fossil fuel as in the past. The price for oil will drop catastrophically and never recover, and this world have a catastrophic impact on the economies of the world's oil exporting countries. What has happened to the coal industry in United States will be replicated around the world to the oil industry.
There is already signs that the Middle East exporters are aware of this looming crisis, and the countries with the most low cost oil are making certain that they are able to continue selling this or well as long as possible. However they are only delaying the inevitable, and the truth is that all the vast power that the oil exporting Nations have is already diminishing rapidly and will disappear over the next 10 years.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 169471
Review Request: gtk-gnutella - GUI based Gnutella Client
Last modified: 2012-02-13 09:48:29 EST
Spec Url: http://dmitry.butskoy.name/gtk-gnutella/gtk-gnutella.spec
SRPM Url: http://dmitry.butskoy.name/gtk-gnutella/gtk-gnutella-0.95.4-1.src.rpm
Gtk-Gnutella is a GUI based Gnutella p2p servent. It's a fully featured
servent designed to share any type of file. Gtk-gnutella implements
compressed gnutella net connections, ultrapeer and leaf nodes and uses
Passive/Active Remote Queueing (PARQ), and other modern gnutella network
Needs work:
* No downloadable source. Please give the full URL in the Source tag.
* rpmlint of gtk-gnutella: non-standard-executable-perm /usr/bin/gtk-gnutella 0555
P2P software is not included in ForbiddenItems (and is not illegal in itself
actually), but I'd like to get clearance from Legal (as asked in bug 169604)
I already asked about it a little, see
Source and exec-perms: done.
I've had a look at the included URLs in gwcache.boot, and none contain obvious
illegal material.
Review for release 1:
* RPM name is OK
* Source gtk-gnutella-0.95.4.tar.bz2 is the same as upstream
* This is the latest version
* Builds fine in mock
* rpmlint of gtk-gnutella looks OK
* File list of gtk-gnutella looks OK
* Works fine.
How did you check GWebCache contents? I believe it is impossible to
ensure that they do not reference any servents with illegal content.
IMO, it would be better no just ship the software and not any
bootstrapping URLs.
> How did you check GWebCache contents ?
I just opened the URLs in a browser and had a very quick look at them. But if
gtk-gnutella can work without the gwcache.boot file, it would be better to
remove it, I agree
/usr/share/gtk-gnutella/gwcache.boot actually points to some http urls. It does
not point directly to any servents with contents. These urls are not intended
for any content providing. I believe that Gnutella knows all the legal issues
and avoids them...
IMHO, some similar situation was "links to fedorafaq.org site", which I saw
recently somewhere in mailing lists. Fedora can points to "fedorafaq" site, just
saying nothing particularly about what the users can find there. (They can find
there links to soft with legal issues).
May be I should just check carefully all the gwcache.boot links (and do it on
each package update)? But, IMHO, upstream already should do it...
Anyway, without initial gwcache, the program appears to be much less usable.
I've checked out it once again, for me nothing illegal at the urls specified.
Yes, they indirectly specify some servents, but it is "dynamic" data (who is
currently run etc.), therefore we cannot check them in general. And I believe
the presumption of innocence operates in this context...
Aurelien, Michael,
some more doubts?
I've already committed and built gtk-gnutella before you had reopened this
bugzilla ticket. Now it has appeared at the download site. Therefore I close
here again.
If any doubts will appear later, open a new bugzilla ticket for this package
usual way.
...and upstream's comment here:
Package Change Request
Package Name: gtk-gnutella
New Branches: el6
Owners: buc
Git done (by process-git-requests).

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
Footage selected from 'East of Borneo' and other films is arranged and edited so as to highlight actress Rose Hobart.
2001 | Winner: National Film Registry
A kind of antifilm equivalent of Dalí's Fountain: Objets trouvés repurposed arbitrarily in the it's-art-because-I-say-so manner of Dalí (incidentally Dalí half-jokingly claimed that Cornell stole the idea from him). I got the point early on, and thus this could be 20 minutes or 2 minutes long and the effect would be the same.
I wanted 'Rose Hobart' to be good. I tried to will it into goodness, but all I got was fail. I'm a huge Joseph Cornell fan. Huge. I'm 6'8". The idea behind the film is a genius idea. Take your favourite actor or actress and re-edit one of their films so that it highlights their performance. The problem is that it the choices may be too personal. Let's just call it a brilliant failure.
I don't know. Vellaem. I liked it. It moves like a dream moves. It took a pieces from a movie that was probably cheesy, poorly acted, etc. And he took these pieces and created a real sense of mystery and movement. Even if there was no linear storyline, I was intrigued by the emotions of Rose the whole time. Very cool.
I hope Peter Tscherkassky was subconsciously influenced by 'Rose Hobart' when he was making 'The Exquisite Corpus'. Or consciously. Either way it takes nothing from Tscherkassky and gives Cornell the ineffable awe he deserves. We are slaves to images as much as we are liberated by them. And sometimes, like now, I don't care. Even the second-hand crush on Hobart feels right, as much a crush on Cornell and film. 1936!

This article is part of an ongoing series, "What is Your Ace Score?" that explores Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and the community.
Adverse Childhood Experiences and trauma can have a major effect on our lives. So what can we do with this information? If you experienced abuse and trauma as a child, you may be asking yourself many different questions after learning about ACE: Why were other family members affected in a different way? What can be done to reverse this? How can I help my children and other family members? Why am I more resilient than others?
Resiliency is a way people can overcome and resist the cumulative effects of adverse childhood experiences and trauma. There are many characteristics that contribute to a person's resiliency in life including their personality, socialization, genetics, and life experiences. Our resiliency is boosted by protective factors, which are the insulation to our "exposed wires." They help us protect, resist, and overcome adverse experiences. Resilience may be built through the positive people, places, and activities in our lives.
Learning and experiencing concepts such as kindness, compassion, consistency, unconditional positive regard, and empathy can protect us from the negative effects of adverse experiences and trauma. Observing these concepts from people we trust can positively impact our lives in a big way.
We seek connections with our family members and support from friends and role models in our communities. Teachers, coaches and volunteers can be major protective factors in our lives as well as different programs and activities within the community. Organizations like the Boys and Girls Club and the Be-Hive are great places to learn and grow in healthy ways.
What can we do to create positive growth in our lives and our communities? The following are a few resources for adults and children that can strengthen our resiliency:
- Martinsburg-Berkeley County Parks and Recreation
- Jefferson County Parks and Recreation
- James Rumsey Technical Institute
- Berkeley County Adult and Community Education Services
To understand more about resiliency, check out this 14 question resilience quiz here. The website acestoohigh.com notes that these questions have been used for parental education and not necessarily research.
Tell us about your protective factors in the Eastern Panhandle. We would be happy to share their stories and your experiences with them.

This is for your poems, which have been published at least once, at least three years ago, and which YOU think your readers would like to see again and remember.
We'll be seeking more readers among people who dont write, or dont read much poetry, in the hope that they'll like these poems. The plan is to update with a few poems every weekend, Saturday or Sunday.
Initially please send me ONE poem, not too long (page length or shorter) that you still feel happy with and want to share again. Send the poem to Sally Evans 35 at gmail dot com, stating where first published, and any other acknowledgements. You are responsible for permissions from published books.
Send an image to go with your poem if you wish. If you dont sent an image I may add one.
We are in trial mode, and these instructions may be altered. I may not be able to include all poems but if I select, I will state on what basis.

Solution Structures of a 30-residue Amino-terminal Domain of the Carp Granulin-1 Protein and Its Amino-terminally Truncated 3-30 Subfragment: Implications for the Conformational Stability of the Stack of Two Beta-hairpins Proteins. Apr, 2002 | Pubmed ID: 11870861 Carp granulins are members of an emerging class of proteins with a sequence motif encoding a parallel stack of two to four beta-hairpins. The carp granulin-1 protein forms a stack of four beta-hairpins, whereas its amino-terminal fragment appears to adopt a very stable stack of two beta-hairpins in solution. Here we determined a refined three-dimensional structure of this peptide fragment to examine potential conformational changes compared with the full-length protein. The structures were calculated with both a traditional method and a fast semiautomated method using ambiguous NMR distance restraints. The resulting sets of structures are very similar and show that a well-defined stack of two beta-hairpins is retained in the peptide. Conformational rearrangements compensating the loss of the carboxy-terminal subdomain of the native protein are restricted to the carboxy-terminal end of the peptide, the turn connecting the two beta-hairpins, and the Tyr(21) and Tyr(25) aromatic side chains. Further removal of the Val(1) and Ile(2) residues, which are part of the first beta-hairpin and components of two major hydrophobic clusters in the two beta-hairpin structure, results in the loss of the first beta-hairpin. The second beta-hairpin, which is closely associated with the first, retains a similar but somewhat less stable conformation. The invariable presence of the second beta-hairpin and the dependence of its stability on the first beta-hairpin suggest that the stack of two beta-hairpins may be an evolutionary conserved and autonomous folding unit. In addition, the high conformational stability makes the stack of two beta-hairpins an attractive scaffold for the development of peptide-based drug candidates.
The Zebrafish Progranulin Gene Family and Antisense Transcripts BMC Genomics. 2005 | Pubmed ID: 16277664 Progranulin is an epithelial tissue growth factor (also known as proepithelin, acrogranin and PC-cell-derived growth factor) that has been implicated in development, wound healing and in the progression of many cancers. The single mammalian progranulin gene encodes a glycoprotein precursor consisting of seven and one half tandemly repeated non-identical copies of the cystine-rich granulin motif. A genome-wide duplication event hypothesized to have occurred at the base of the teleost radiation predicts that mammalian progranulin may be represented by two co-orthologues in zebrafish.

Evidence of a Possible Role for Lys-gamma3-MSH in the Regulation of Adipocyte Function The Journal of Endocrinology. Jan, 2008 | Pubmed ID: 18180326 Lys-gamma3-MSH is a melanocortin peptide derived from the C-terminal of the 16 kDa fragment of POMC. The physiological role of Lys-gamma3-MSH is unclear, although it has previously been shown that, although not directly steroidogenic, it can act to potentiate the steroidogenic response of adrenal cortical cells to ACTH. This synergistic effect appears to be correlated with an ability to increase the activity of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) and therefore the rate of cholesterol ester hydrolysis. Ligand binding studies have suggested that high-affinity binding sites for Lys-gamma3-MSH exist in the adrenal gland and a number of other rat tissues that express HSL, including adipose, skeletal muscle and testes. To investigate the hypothesis that Lys-gamma3-MSH may play a wider role in cholesterol and lipid metabolism, we tested the effect of Lys-gamma3-MSH on lipolysis, an HSL-mediated process, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In comparison with other melanocortin peptides, Lys-gamma3-MSH was found to be a potent stimulator of lipolysis. It was also able to phosphorylate HSL at key serine residues and stimulate the hyperphosphorylation of perilipin A. The receptor through which the lipolytic actions of Lys-gamma3-MSH are being mediated is not clear. Attempts to characterise this receptor suggest that either the pharmacology of the melanocortin receptor 5 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes is different from that described when expressed in heterologous systems or the possibility that a further, as yet uncharacterised, receptor exists.
Structure Dissection of Human Progranulin Identifies Well-folded Granulin/epithelin Modules with Unique Functional Activities Protein Science : a Publication of the Protein Society. Apr, 2008 | Pubmed ID: 18359860 Progranulin is a secreted protein with important functions in several physiological and pathological processes, such as embryonic development, host defense, and wound repair. Autosomal dominant mutations in the progranulin gene cause frontotemporal dementia, while overexpression of progranulin promotes the invasive progression of a range of tumors, including those of the breast and the brain. Structurally, progranulin consists of seven-and-a-half tandem repeats of the granulin/epithelin module (GEM), several of which have been isolated as discrete 6-kDa GEM peptides. We have expressed all seven human GEMs using recombinant DNA in Escherichia coli. High-resolution NMR showed that only the three GEMs, hGrnA, hGrnC, and hGrnF, contain relatively well-defined three-dimensional structures in solution, while others are mainly mixtures of poorly structured disulfide isomers. The three-dimensional structures of hGrnA, hGrnC, and hGrnF contain a stable stack of two beta-hairpins in their N-terminal subdomains, but showed a more flexible C-terminal subdomain. Interestingly, of the well-structured GEMs, hGrnA demonstrated potent growth inhibition of a breast cancer cell line, while hGrnF was stimulatory. Poorly folded peptides were either weakly inhibitory or without activity. The functionally active and structurally well-characterized human hGrnA offers a unique opportunity for detailed structure-function studies of these important GEM proteins as novel members of mammalian growth factors.
The Granulin Gene Family: from Cancer to Dementia BioEssays : News and Reviews in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. Nov, 2009 | Pubmed ID: 19795409 The growth factor progranulin (PGRN) regulates cell division, survival, and migration. PGRN is an extracellular glycoprotein bearing multiple copies of the cysteine-rich granulin motif. With PGRN family members in plants and slime mold, it represents one of the most ancient of the extracellular regulatory proteins still extant in modern animals. PRGN has multiple biological roles. It contributes to the regulation of early embryogenesis, to adult tissue repair and inflammation. Elevated PGRN levels often occur in cancers, and PGRN immunotherapy inhibits the growth of hepatic cancer xenografts in mice. Recent studies have demonstrated roles for PGRN in neurobiology. An autosomal dominant mutation in GRN, the gene for PGRN, leads to neuronal atrophy in the frontal and temporal lobes, resulting in the disease frontotemporal lobar dementia. In this review we will discuss current knowledge of the multifaceted biology of PGRN.
Progranulin is Expressed Within Motor Neurons and Promotes Neuronal Cell Survival BMC Neuroscience. 2009 | Pubmed ID: 19860916 Progranulin is a secreted high molecular weight growth factor bearing seven and one half copies of the cysteine-rich granulin-epithelin motif. While inappropriate over-expression of the progranulin gene has been associated with many cancers, haploinsufficiency leads to atrophy of the frontotemporal lobes and development of a form of dementia (frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin positive inclusions, FTLD-U) associated with the formation of ubiquitinated inclusions. Recent reports indicate that progranulin has neurotrophic effects, which, if confirmed would make progranulin the only neuroprotective growth factor that has been associated genetically with a neurological disease in humans. Preliminary studies indicated high progranulin gene expression in spinal cord motor neurons. However, it is uncertain what the role of Progranulin is in normal or diseased motor neuron function. We have investigated progranulin gene expression and subcellular localization in cultured mouse embryonic motor neurons and examined the effect of progranulin over-expression and knockdown in the NSC-34 immortalized motor neuron cell line upon proliferation and survival.
分子克隆和胚胎表达的斑马鱼 PCSK5 Co Orthologues: 功能评估期间侧线发展。 Developmental Dynamics : an Official Publication of the American Association of Anatomists. Nov, 2010 | Pubmed ID: 20882679 Pro-protein convertase 枯草/科信 5 (PC5,也称为 PC6) 是牵连到其功能活跃的衍生工具的潜在前体蛋白成熟的丝氨酸蛋白酶的枯草杆菌家族的成员。若要调查的职能角色,我们有克隆的 cDNA 序列编码两个候选人斑马鱼 PC5 convertases (指定为 PCSK5.1 和 PCSK5.2) co-orthologous 到单个 PC5 编码基因 (PCSK5) 在哺乳动物中找到。两者都显示人类 PCSK5 基因 syntenic 函授。整体基因结构已跨物种已保守。虽然 PC5.1 mRNA 表达是非常离散耳囊泡和侧线 neuromasts 范围内,PC5.2 成绩单更无处不在与特定的本地化,各机构包括肝、 肠、、 耳泡在中枢神经系统内表示。斑马鱼 PC5.1 缺胚胎显示异常 neuromast 侧线系统内的沉积和缺乏正常的触摸反应,与侧线在对空间的认识和感知环境的已知感官作用相一致。
Structure, Function, and Mechanism of Progranulin; the Brain and Beyond Journal of Molecular Neuroscience : MN. Nov, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21691802 Mutation of human GRN, the gene encoding the secreted glycoprotein progranulin, results in a form of frontotemporal lobar degeneration that is characterized by the presence of ubiquitinated inclusions containing phosphorylated and cleaved fragments of the transactivation response element DNA-binding protein-43. This has stimulated interest in understanding the role of progranulin in the central nervous system, and in particular, how this relates to neurodegeneration. Progranulin has many roles outside the brain, including regulation of cellular proliferation, survival, and migration, in cancer, including cancers of the brain, in wound repair, and inflammation. It often acts through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase and phopshatidylinositol-3-kinases pathways. The neurobiology of progranulin has followed a similar pattern with proposed roles for progranulin (PGRN) in the central nervous system as a neuroprotective agent and in neuroinflammation. Here we review the structure, biology, and mechanism of progranulin action. By understanding PGRN in a wider context, we may be better able to delineate its roles in the normal brain and in neurodegenerative disease.
Use of Zebrafish and Knockdown Technology to Define Proprotein Convertase Activity Methods in Molecular Biology (Clifton, N.J.). 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21805249 The Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a powerful and well-established tool used extensively for the study of early vertebrate development and as a model of human diseases. Zebrafish genes orthologous to their mammalian counterparts generally share conserved biological function. Protein knockdown or overexpression can be effectively achieved by microinjection of morpholino antisense oligonucleotides (MOs) or mRNA, respectively, into developing embryos at the one- to two-cell stage. Correlating gene expression patterns with the characterizing of phenotypes resulting from over- or underexpression can reveal the function of a particular protein. The microinjection technique is simple and results are reproducible. We defined the expression pattern of the proprotein convertase PCSK5 within the lateral line neuromasts and various organs including the liver, gut and otic vesicle by whole-mount in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunofluorescence (IF). MO-mediated knockdown of zebrafish PCSK5 expression generated embryos that display abnormal neuromast deposition within the lateral line system resulting in uncoordinated patterns of swimming.
Reduction of Polyglutamine Toxicity by TDP-43, FUS and Progranulin in Huntington's Disease Models Human Molecular Genetics. Feb, 2013 | Pubmed ID: 23172908 The DNA/RNA binding proteins TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) and fused-in-sarcoma (FUS) are genetically linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar dementia, while the inappropriate cytoplasmic accumulations of TDP-43 and FUS are observed in a growing number of late-onset pathologies including spinocerebellar ataxia 3, Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases (HD). To investigate if TDP-43 and FUS contribute to neurodegenerative phenotypes, we turned to a genetically accessible Caenorhabditis elegans model of polyglutamine toxicity. In C. elegans, we observe that genetic loss-of-function mutations for nematode orthologs of TDP-43 or FUS reduced behavioral defects and neurodegeneration caused by huntingtin exon-1 with expanded polyglutamines. Furthermore, using striatal cells from huntingtin knock-in mice we observed that small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) against TDP-43 or FUS reduced cell death caused by mutant huntingtin. Moreover, we found that TDP-43 and the survival factor progranulin (PGRN) genetically interact to regulate polyglutamine toxicity in C. elegans and mammalian cells. Altogether our data point towards a conserved function for TDP-43 and FUS in promoting polyglutamine toxicity and that delivery of PGRN may have therapeutic benefits.

Magic the Gathering is extremely adaptable here, utilizing an aggregate of eight fetch lands to access Green, Red and White when required with such cards like Designed Explosives, Fire spout Reality check in the main deck and fundamentally its whole sideboard. Miren, the Groaning Admirably enables you to pick up life to the detriment of our adversaries' animals which are taken away using Vedalken Shackles.
Building a force for the winning conditions
Institute Remnants allows you to repeat Built Explosives, a card that is as of late shot up to end up plainly one of the best races outside of Mirrodin piece not named Arcbound Ravager because of Malevolent Deed's revolution. Other than that, the mana base is apparent as crystal. Tarmogoyf is by a long shot the best mixer this deck has. It's debilitating, productive, and costs all of two mana.
MTG Singles – blend of force's potential for and adaptability for empire
Over the long haul, Tarmogoyf is your win condition in MtG Singles. Join that with an Umezawa's Jitte, and you have a triumphant mix. Vendilion Inner circle is potentially the best animal in Reached out right now. It has such an enormous amount of adaptability in either denying your Moron Life rival a Decree of Resurrection, pulling a Mind's Longing far from TEPS, or focusing on yourself to pitch a dead card to draw into something more helpful.
Mastering the probability with the card turns
You have a standard Blue Bundle of Genealogical Vision, Obscure Order, Mana Break, Nullification and Spell Catch. Vision is by a wide margin the best player you can make in the first diversion, as it's a free three cards in four turns of Kaladesh. Mysterious Charge remains the best four mana counter spell ever printed because of its enormous adaptability in settling the diversion by countering spells, tapping down assailants, ricocheting permanents, or drawing a card. Mana Break has seen considerably more play in Reached out than Remand, something that you would rather observe the inverse.

I can tell you there can't always be...
a happy ending to every tale... Because since we are born we learn about fairy tales and those short stories that usually have a happy ending. They show life as something beautiful, where good people may have trouble but in the end they find their way through. But where's the nice prince in real life? why do we dream about a perfect love that does not exist? does it make us happier? In a way, we need from love and we think happiness lies in there, but does it? Where is happiness, then? Can you be happy without love? can love make you the unhappiest person on earth? Life is more complex than we deny.... but from my experience I can only tell you there's no happy ending to every tale

Don't let tomorrow erase the present
When I was younger I thought, I'd love to be 20, cause I'd have no problems at all. Now, too many concerns are in my head... is there a time when humankind reaches happiness?? Is happiness a goal? or just the way?? We may be obsessed in looking for it, but it should find us. We should take advantage of every single moment, which will be no more, we should be happy TODAY!! we shouldn't allow the future blur our present... The present is here, the future is uncertain... enjoy your day: CARPE DIEM

Is there a reason?
Is there a reasons to do things? I did not write any single line in my blog during the last weeks because I did not feel like it. Honestly, I did not feel like doing anything and I don't know why. Probably the reason was that we are always looking for a reason... We don't let our mind think freely but we always look for some reason to act in a certain way. I think that there is no reason to do what you want but just your free will to do it. You don't need to justify yourself for every decision you take because life is not so complex... just do what you believe to be good and forget about pre-established rules... you'll be happier and even more productive
