It's been nearly three months since many Google employees—and the public—learned about the company's decision to provide artificial intelligence to a controversial military pilot program known as Project Maven, which aims to speed up analysis of drone footage by automatically classifying images of objects and people. Now, about a dozen Google employees are resigning in protest over the company's continued involvement in Maven.
The resigning employees' frustrations range from particular ethical concerns over the use of artificial intelligence in drone warfare to broader worries about Google's political decisions—and the erosion of user trust that could result from these actions. Many of them have written accounts of their decisions to leave the company, and their stories have been gathered and shared in an internal document, the contents of which multiple sources have described to Gizmodo.
The employees who are resigning in protest, several of whom discussed their decision to leave with Gizmodo, say that executives have become less transparent with their workforce about controversial business decisions and seem less interested in listening to workers' objections than they once did. In the case of Maven, Google is helping the Defense Department implement machine learning to classify images gathered by drones. But some employees believe humans, not algorithms, should be responsible for this sensitive and potentially lethal work—and that Google shouldn't be involved in military work at all.

Muscle weakness can occur for many reasons, including a problem with the muscle, a problem with the nerve that stimulates the muscle, or a problem with the brain. Therefore, to diagnose a congenital myopathy, a neurologist will perform a detailed physical exam as well as tests to determine the cause of weakness. If a myopathy is suspected, possible tests include a blood test for a muscle enzyme called creatine kinase, an electromyogram (EMG) to evaluate the electrical activity of the muscle, a muscle biopsy, and genetic testing.
Respiratory failure due to diaphragmatic weakness can occur at any age and may be independent of the degree of limb weakness. A restrictive pattern on pulmonary function tests (PFTs) may be apparent before the onset of symptoms. Early symptoms of nocturnal hypoxia can include poor sleep, nightmares, morning headache, daytime sleepiness, and weight loss. All patients should have baseline PFTs that are repeated in at least yearly intervals. Treatment options include chest physiotherapy, manually assisted cough, early treatment of respiratory infections, noninvasive ventilation, and tracheostomy combined with permanent ventilation.
Historically the congenital myopathies have been classified on the basis of the major morphological features seen on muscle biopsy – e.g., rods (nemaline myopathy), cores (central core disease and multiminicore disease), central nuclei (centronuclear/myotubular myopathy) and selective hypotrophy of type 1 fibres (congenital fibre type disproportion). Over the past 15 years, the genetic basis of many of the different forms of congenital myopathy has been identified – although it is evident that there are still many additional genes to be discovered.

Terrorism is made in Iran
Ever since the Mullahs came to power in 1979, Iran has been fomenting trouble and unrest in the Middle East. The regime has been making every effort to interfere in the affairs of the Arab states, including Iraq and Syria through its Revolutionary Guards, Lebanon through the terrorist group Hezbollah, and Yemen through the Houthi militias.
However, one needn't go way back in history to understand Iran's support for terror. Take a look at the situation in Syria and the recent Douma tragedy caused by the coldblooded chemical attack. The Iranian regime is a participant in the crimes perpetrated by Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, bringing untold misery to innocent, unarmed people, constituting a serious crime against humanity.
Any way you look at it, whether from the military, political, legal or judicial angle, Tehran has a clear hand in the crimes perpetrated by the Al-Assad regime. If it was not for Iran, Al-Assad would have long lost power and would have had to face justice for his crimes.
According to official Iranian reports, more than 33% of the Iranian people are living below the poverty line, and 6% of them – about 5 million people – are on the verge of starvation, meaning, they cannot survive since they have nothing to eat. Despite such a situation within Iran, Tehran continues to support Al-Assad with billions of dollars to ensure he remains in power.
What makes Iran so generous in its support for Al-Assad is reflected in the statement made by Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his group. They said that if they don't fight in the cities of Damascus and Aleppo, or create a defensive line throughout the Mediterranean coasts, they would have to fight in the Iranian cities.
Hussein Taib, who has close links to Khamenei, said in one of his speeches: "We have to defend Iran outside its borders. That's why we are here in Syria. For example, if we lose the Khuzestan region, we can restore it later, but if we lose Syria we will not be able to protect Tehran and we will be falling."
On the other hand, the recent uprising in Iran has proved that the Iranian people have rejected the regime. The anti-regime people, who are fed up with the regime, had openly declared, "No to the rule by the jurisprudent- referred to as Al-faqih(Guardian Jurist)." They raised slogans, "Death to Rouhani," to target the head of the "Faqih" authority and to overthrow the entire regime.
World attention is now almost entirely focused on Syria. The UN Security Council has convened an emergency session to take a decision against Al-Assad. However, what needs to be taken into account is that any action against Al-Assad should not be to only alleviate the problems of one country, but should be a wider international and humanitarian action to safeguard human dignity, human rights, and security. The regime has crossed all the red lines which make it a major party to the crimes committed by Al-Assad.
UN Resolution 2118 states that in case of the repeated use or transfer of toxic gases, the Al-Assad regime should take full responsibility. The regime has already violated the resolution, but unfortunately we haven't witnessed any real or serious action by the United Nations as yet.
The Iranian regime is equally responsible for the crimes perpetrated against the Syrian people. And the world is currently witnessing these crimes spearheaded by Iran which has been solely responsible for propping up the regime.
Iran is the initiator and exporter of all kinds of international terrorism. It is time that the international community, especially the Arab world, seriously acts against the brutality of Tehran and Damascus – two regimes that are the primary cause of the growing instability in the region.

'Let's Win This' event
We all know WHY our campaign is important. Come along and talk about HOW we can win. With practical tips from Alastair McIntosh and insights from the Basque country by Sean McVeigh, followed by discussion. More details after the link.
Paths and Pitfalls in Sustaining the Campaign
Alastair McIntosh
Veteran of several successful, long-haul campaigns for social change, including land reform on Eigg and stopping the Harris superquarry, Alastair will discuss how to keep momentum and motivation in the 'final push' of the independence campaign. In particular, he will cover:
- Personal and group dynamics in sustaining and energising a campaign.
- How not to get trapped in the other side's framing of the debate.
- How to avoid inevitable disappointments turning to the poison of backbiting.
- How to convey challenge to one's opponents respectfully.
- How to avoid burnout in the final leg and hold fast to the vision.
Alastair holds fellowships at both Glasgow and Edinburgh universities and was visiting professor at Strathclyde University with the Centre for Human Ecology. His books include Soil and Soul: People versus Corporate Power, Rekindling Community and Hell and High Water: Climate Change, Hope and the Human Condition. His writing has been described by George Monbiot as "world-changing," by the Bishop of Liverpool as "life-changing," and by Thom Yorke of Radiohead as "truly mental."

I love readers' homes. I love to see how people live, the things they surround themselves with. I love Flavia's Brazilian home. Stylish and real. I'll let her explain. (She apologises for her English – don't Flavia. It's excellent!)
Since I saw some posts with your readers' houses around the world, I thought you would like to receive a Brazilian example. I have been photographing my house for a while, but, in fact, I don't think it is ready for a final photo session. We live there for 4 years now and still haven't finished all the furniture and décor. I feel it's like a mutant space, changing and improving every day. For this reason I have been taking so long to email you. But this week I saw a post with a brazilian "salao de beleza" and I realized that many Brazilians must read you and send you stuff, so I decided to email the pictures I had.
Here is some explanation:
The living room: Starck's Slick slick and Louis Ghost chairs at the table. The painting is a Graffiti we got in our neighborhood from a construction temporary wall. Table, coffee table and sofas are from Fernando Jaeger, a Brazilian designer. The Altoids art was made by me (we didn't have Altoids in Brazil so I depended on loving friends that always brought them to me). The centerpiece on the table is from Alessi. The candles as cheesy but they are from my wedding party décor so I just can't get rid of them. Old fan and trunk were gifts from my mom. The two ashtrays on the coffee table are made by a Brazilian designer called Jacqueline Terpins.
The kitchen: Don't have much to say, except, sorry for the mess!
Tv room: This is the room we use the most. It has a desk for me and my husband to work, but is also a play room for the baby, so we can all stay together. Sofa and armchair by Fernando Jaeger, a Starck's yellow Toy chair and the new Aalto's style play table with stools. Above the desk and books, pictures by me and the baby (believe it or not).
Bedroom 1: This is where my husband and I rest. No bed, just a mattress on the floor. Bed side tables made by my mom. Eclipse lamp by Mauricio Klabin (another brazilian designer). The funny thing is that the only "good art" we have is all piled up in the corner of this room… Shame on me.
Bedroom 2: This is the bedroom that is going to change the most as soon as possible. The baby became a toddler and is getting a new bed and little kitchen furniture I designed. This room also has one of my favorites pieces on the house, that is the huge paper on the wall were the family drew and stuck stickers, sadly it is also going to be replaced for a new one, since there is no more free space… The ballerina picture was made by my father in 82 and given to the baby when I was still pregnant and had just found out it was going to be a girl. The weird bird on the top shelve was his first Christmas gift for the baby (that was only 1 month old) and is from a French artist that have made a lot of New Yorker covers, but I sadly can't remember the name. The weird face behind the toys was also taken at that construction site.
These pictures don't show all the rooms and are not all produced and stuff… actually, they were taken during "real life action", but I hope you like it.
Can I just point out your mum makes fabulous night tables?
Great home! Where, O Where can I find a sign of the tube stops in England as shown here and other posts. I'm a sucker for anything typeface, ephemera, lettering, etc. and we have an affinity for the tube. I don't even know what term to use to search online/ebay. Help?
Lora, I haven't done searches for that before but you might want to try "bus roll" or "train roll".
Thanks Flavia for sending us photos of your wonderfully decorated home!
I am one of yours Brazilian readers, and I soon as I saw those pictures today, before I read the post I new it was taken from a Brazilian home. I think the flooring, specialy the kitchen, made it clear to me. I live in the USA for 10 years now. Love your blog. Congrats.
(revised!! why don't I read my comments before I click the publish button???)
I am one of your Brazilian readers, and as soon as I saw those pictures today, even before I read the post, I knew those pictures were taken in Brazil. How funny! I think that the flooring, specialy the kitchen's floor, made it clear to me. I live in the USA for 10 years now. Love your blog. Congrats.
LOL! Thanks for stopping by Brazilian Monalisa!
I just love the fact that Flavia constructed a temporary wall and got an artwork! Well done!
I am so glad Flavia wrote to you guys.
Flavia, I adore your home. I love the simplicity and the light. I am totally jealous of your piece of graffiti over your sofa. I see many wonderful examples in our city, I'd love to have one. I adore the restful bedroom, and also the way you have made room for your daughter's creativity.
Great work. You need a flickr set, I'd like to keep up with the changes you make.
I've had luck on eBay by using "destination rolls" in the search.
Oh, thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it.
Yesterday was holiday here in Rio so I didn't get to see this post before.
"Destination roll" is the name to look for.
The Grafitti thing is that, here, when you have a construction on the street, you have to make this temporary wall. Usually and they use plywood (I'm not sure if this is the name of the material) because it is cheaper. The street artists draw on them or people glue some unauthorized propaganda, since nobody cares because they are soon going to be removed. I just got lucky to find one near my home. I asked for the construction owner if I could have it when he had been finished and hoped nobody had stolen it in between. My husband and I had to carry it home by foot…

Since I took prenatal yoga classes with you, I decided I'd try mommy and me class and it was the best decision I made. Due to wrong postures while holding the baby, my knees and back were always sore. Mommy and me yoga was extremely helpful. The classes were a perfect opportunity to bond with my baby while strengthening my body. I felt comfortable during each and every class as I could nurse, change diapers and calm my baby if needed. Aline L, Jan. 2016
Today Liam and I "graduated" out of mommy and me yoga. Mimi was my prenatal yoga instructor starting at 13 weeks pregnant. She (along with a few other wonderful women) helped teach me how amazing the body is and empowered me, through exercise and mental support to work towards the natural and unmedicated birth that I wanted.
After I had Liam, she came to my house to teach me baby massage so that I could help Liam adjust to life out of the womb and get his bodily systems working well!
Then we started mommy and me yoga with her!! For the past 5 months Liam and I have been going once a week and using that time to bond, play, sing songs, and get a little exercise!
Mimi is such a treasure! She is so caring and inspiring! My pregnancy, birth, and post-partum would have been so different without her!! This is definitely not goodbye... but just an extra special thank you for shaping my and Liam's life the way you have!!! We love you Mimi! Nicole N, September 2016
"I can't tell you how much Carter and I have enjoyed coming to your class, we absolutely love it!
You are a fantastic teacher" Katie L, Feb. 2012

Consumers turning to debit over credit cards
By UK CreditCards.com
Debit card usage is on the rise in the UK, as consumers move away from carrying large amounts of cash and attempt to curb their spending on credit cards. New figures from the Payments Council reveal that debit cards are now the most common method of payment, while cash withdrawals have fallen and credit card spending has declined in real terms.
cards take top spot
Britons are making an extra 1.6m purchases every day on their debit cards compared to last year, according to the latest report from the Payments Council. During August, the running total of debit card spending (£272bn) overtook the cumulative amount of cash spent (£269bn). The number of debit card purchases was 10% higher this summer than last, and retailers recorded an additional 1.6m transactions on debit cards every day between July and September, with the amount spent rising by almost 11%.
Sandra Quinn, director of communications at the Payments Council, said that many consumers find cash too "cumbersome" and prefer the convenience of plastic. She pointed out that debit cards can now be accepted in most places, including pubs, clubs, corner shops, high-street stores and online retailers, and that they have now "usurped cash's throne."
cards in decline
As well as overtaking cash, debit cards have increased their dominance over credit cards. They were used three times more frequently than credit cards during the third quarter of 2010, while the total outstanding balance on credit cards dropped to its lowest level since 2003.
The figures show that, since 2005, credit card spending has declined by one-tenth in real terms. Over the same period, the number of cards in circulation has fallen from 70.6m to 60.7m, while the number of cardholders has dropped from 31.7 million to 30 million.
Ms Quinn said that consumers now have more options available to them when paying for goods and services. She observed: "Conscious of the need to repay credit borrowed, consumers are increasingly choosing their debit card over credit card. Contrary to expectation, the possibility of greater financial stress during the recession and beyond has not driven people to rely more heavily on their credit cards."
This level of prudence may well continue throughout the festive period, according to financial services provider Legal & General. The company's recent MoneyMood survey found that the majority of households plan to limit the amount they spend this Christmas, with just one in six expecting to spend more this year than last. Mark Gregory, executive director of savings, said that households are taking a "sensible approach to spending" and that this attitude may mean that "fewer households will be paying off credit card debt in the aftermath of Christmas this time round".

After spending a few days with my father who was visiting, I left with Alex for a 4-day road-trip into the interior of Paraíba to visit all of the PRIMA centers in the sertão region. We left João Pessoa and first headed to Campina Grande, the second largest city in the state and the capital city's main rival. I had visited the city a few weeks before for a PRIMA concert, but hadn't yet visited the center itself. It is housed within a really funky 1970's style building that is really impressive for a Brazilian public school, yet very poorly maintained and covered in graffiti and very run-down.

We hit the road again through the beautiful countryside and spent the night in a tiny town called Conceição, which is actually the hometown of the gifted conductor and composer José Siqueira, who founded the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra in Rio and composed some fantastic music. In the morning we started heading back east, driving to Itaporanga where Alex gave the same presentation to the PRIMA teachers there. We also headed up to a tiny town of 6,000 up in the hills about 20km from Itaporanga called São José de Caiana because the coordinator at the Patos center told us that there is a little music project in this tiny town that is already doing great things. For the past 3 years they have had a marching band with kids and recently just bought a handful of string instruments and have begun teaching a few students. Alex was impressed and wants to help them become a PRIMA sub-center of the Itaporanga center.

Please note that Mommsen uses the AUC chronology (Ab Urbe Condita), i.e. from the founding of the City of Rome. You can use this reference table to have the B.C. dates
From: The History of Rome, by Theodor Mommsen
Translated with the sanction of the author by William Purdie Dickson
Page 37
Relations of Sicily, Syracuse, and Carthage-- Pyrrhus Invited to Syracuse
After the death of Agathocles (465) the Greeks of Sicily were without any leading power. While in the several Greek cities incapable demagogues and incapable tyrants were replacing each other, the Carthaginians, the old rulers of the western point, were extending their dominion unmolested. After Agrigentum had surrendered to them, they believed that the time had come for taking final steps towards the end which they had kept in view for centuries, and for reducing the whole island under their authority; they set themselves to attack Syracuse.
That city, which formerly by its armies and fleets had disputed the possession of the island with Carthage, had through internal dissension and the weakness of its government fallen so low that it was obliged to seek for safety in the protection of its walls and in foreign aid; and none could afford that aid but king Pyrrhus. Pyrrhus was the husband of Agathocles's daughter, and his son Alexander, then sixteen years of age, was Agathocles's grandson.
Both were in every respect natural heirs of the ambitious schemes of the ruler of Syracuse; and if her freedom was at an end, Syracuse might find compensation in becoming the capital of a Greek empire of the West. So the Syracusans, like the Tarentines, and under similar conditions, voluntarily offered their sovereignty to king Pyrrhus (about 475); and by a singular conjuncture of affairs everything seemed to concur towards the success of the magnificent plans of the Epirot king, based as they primarily were on the possession of Tarentum and Syracuse.

8 Best Ergonomic Office Chairs for Back Pain Relief | Buying Guide | Reviews 2018
Sitting all day at work? Having stress on your lower lumbar spine? Is your posture terrible? If yes, then you need a new best ergonomic office chair for back pain relief. The chair will give you support aligning your spine and most chairs come with arm supports as well. When your body is balanced with the proper chair, you will feel more like working with less or no pain. Be sure to choose the right chair just for you according to your height, weight, and the shape of your body.
Chairs today have all sorts of levers and knobs for adjusting the chair to fit you perfectly. Most will adjust seat height, head rest height, seat tilt, back rest tilt, back rest support, back rest depth, and a synchronized seat and back. A functional and comfortable ergonomic chair can be purchased from a few hundred dollars up to a thousand dollars.
1. Features to Look for When Buying an Office Chair
A best ergonomic chair should have these features:
- Seat Height—should be easy for you to adjust for your comfort with a pneumatic lever being the easiest to do. The height should be from 16- to 21-inches off the floor. This will keep your thighs horizontal, feet flat on the floor, and arms at desk height.
- Arm Rests—should adjust vertically for supporting lower arms and elbows; some swivel.
- Seat depth and width—should support you comfortably with a cushion 17- to 20-inches wide as the standard. Depth is the front-to-back measurement and it should fit you so that your back is against the backrest for support. That should leave you 2- to 4-inches from the seat to your knees when bent. An adjustable forward/backward tilt will be adjustable in a good chair.
- Lower lumbar support—is the most important feature with its inward curve to push up against your lower spine curve. A good chair's lumbar support will keep you from slumping over and slouching. A good office chair will have an adjustment for the height and depth at this area.
- Backrest—will be 12- to 19-inches wide and it is a separate part from the seat area. It should adjust vertically and back and forth (angle). It will support the lumbar curve. If the seat and backrest are one piece, be sure the backrest part is adjustable for forward/backward angles. It should lock so that it doesn't go too far backwards.
- Material—must have padding for comfort with a fabric that breathes or made of mesh. You don't want a hard surface when you sit all day.
- Swivel Chairs—will rotate 360-degrees and are sold in some models.
- Stability—most chairs today have 5 legs with wheels (casters) to avoid tipping over. Do not buy a chair with only 4 legs; they will tip over and dump you off causing injury.
2. Seat and Lumbar Support Cushions
When the bottom of your chair is too deep creating pressure at the back of your knees, put a back cushion at the lower backrest area that will push your body forward for better lumbar support. If your knees slope downward when your feet are on the floor, you might want to consider a seat cushion to give your body more height shown here.
You might simply need a lumbar cushion presented here.
In addition, a footrest will give your feet comfort and raise your knees upward for posture and some have balls and nubbins to massage the bottoms of your feet and the units themselves move backward and forward. These are inexpensive from $20 to $45 on Amazon.com® and provide more ways to move while sitting under a desk or other furniture shown here.
Ergonomic Office Chairs for Back Pain Relief
[top_item number="1″ text="AmazonBasics High-Back Executive Office Chair"][/top_item]
The AmazonBasics at Amazon.com®, item model number PBH-21792, recommends their high-back chair great for executives and anyone wanting superior comfort when working all day. It is available in dark brown or black faux bonded leather and PVC (polyvinylchloride) for the outer covering that is easy to wipe down if you spill coffee on it. It will match up with any furnishings at work or home.
The seat is well padded and so is the back support because it's ergonomically created with your back in mind. The really cool detail is that this chair swivels 360-degrees and moves up and down with the air-filled pneumatic mechanism. It also has 5 legs for stability with plastic wheels to roll you from file to file effortlessly on your hard floor surface or carpet. The wheel casters do not lock.
The butterfly seat plate makes this iconic chair entirely adjustable. Not only is this luxurious chair stunning to see, it gives ultimate support for your lower back with its curved lumbar configuration. The curve and back support design will give you better posture aligning your spine so that you won't hunch over.
Use the levers for controlling the up/down using your body's weight when pulling up on the lever for the desired height you find most comfortable. The lever lets you set the tilt of the chair to rock back and forth or remain stationary to not rock. The tilt-tension knob adjusts the tilt of the chair for the way you like to sit.
You can adjust it to fit you best from 41.34- to 45.08-inches high. When the chair is raised fully, the seat base is 20-inches from the floor. The seat is 19.5-inches wide and 20-inches deep. The lowest setting is 17.5-inches from the floor to the level plane of the seat. The seat cushion is 21-inches wide at the widest point. The chair leans forward at about 10% down grade. The tilt back is 30- to 35-degrees.
You will like the armrests that are bolted to the sides of the chair. They do not adjust up/down, but are quite comfortable with their padded cushions for support. When the chair is fully raised, the armrests are 28-inches from the floor and about 8-inches from the seat. That should give you lots of comfort.
The chair measures 29.13-inches long by 25.59-wide by 41.34- to 45.08-inches tall. The maximum weight capacity is 250 pounds plus and will fit a 6-foot 4-inch tall person. The chair base is 26.5-inches from side-to-side. It weighs about 35-pounds.

Change your tilt tension with the adjustment knob on the bottom. The chrome plated durable plastic base, legs, and the padded arm rests that will flip up out of your way are great and they can move individually with both going up/down or both down, or any way you want them to move up or down.

[top_item number="3″ text="Herman Miller Embody® Chair"][/top_item]
The Embody® Chairs by Herman Miller, Inc., were designed with the participating ideas from over 30 doctors and PhDs to help solve people's problems when sitting all day. The model number on Amazon.com® CN122AWAAG1G1BB3014 is a high-end product for best relief and comfort for office chairs. The designers are Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber. See Jeff's video at the end of this article for more information. This chair comes in an assortment of colors to match up with your office or home décor.
When you sit for more than 4-hours each day—and most of us do—this chair will improve your health, concentration, and spine alignment with its ergonomic support.
The back and seat are created and fabricated using a matrix of pixels—not the pixels for pictures. These act in response to the heat in your body and your movements. It will never build up heat for you to become sweaty and sticky. The design lets you feel balanced with a floating sensation. The outer fabric named 'Rhythm' is a tough and hard-wearing 100% polyester fabric. Your weight is dispersed evenly across the chair to eliminate pressure for better circulation. The 4 different layers have their own specific property to fit your body comfortably.
The lumbar support at the base of your spine and farther down, the sacrum, are all supported to align to the curvature of your spine for better postural and spine disc alignment. The chair will recline to about 45-degrees, but not totally horizontal.
The chair will tilt, has an adjustable seat depth, adjustable arms, and a graphite base and frame. The 5 casters will roll over carpet and hard surfaced floors. The chair does not come with a headrest, none is made for it, and a very creative person might be able to configure one that can be attached somewhere.
If you find you need more lumbar support, visit this page for the best lumbar cushions. Maybe a superb orthopedic seat cushion would help you take more pressure off your coccyx tailbone and they are presented here.
The dimensions are 28- x 27- x 38.25-inches and weighs about 51-pounds. The seat bottom is adjustable from 16.5-inches to about 22-inches. The Embody® seat is about 21.25-inches. The overall width of the chair is 29.5-inches. From the floor to the top of the arm pad it's about 22.5-inches. The highest the seat goes up to is 1-foot 9-inches.
I do not see where this is gift-wrapped, but Amazon.com® will do that for you. The chair will arrive fully assembled with a little tweaking by you. You will receive a User's Manual and a 12-year, 3-shift Warranty. The chair is made in the USA.

Current research topics
In the context of the replacement of fish meal by inclusion of alternative terrestrial plant products in aquafeed formula, digestible carbohydrates represent good candidates. However, when fish meal is substituted at more than 20% by digestible carbohydrates, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) displays a persistent postprandial hyperglycemia defining it as a glucose-intolerant species. Indeed, rainbow trout belongs to a high trophic level and is thus considered as a strict carnivorous species metabolically adapted for high catabolism of proteins (> 37%) and low utilization of dietary carbohydrates. Hepatic gluconeogenesis in trout, the metabolic pathway producing endogenous glucose to sustain vital function from mainly amino acids, is poorly, if ever, regulated by carbohydrates, suggesting that this metabolic pathway is involved in the establishment of the glucose-intolerant phenotype. In the context of pathologies affecting the glucose homeostasis like diabetes, epigenetic changes occur at the overall genome level, but also at the gluconeogenic genes loci level associated with an increase in their expression and an endogenous glucose production in the liver.
In this context, my main working hypothesis is that changes in the hepatic epigenetic landscape induced by dietary carbohydrates at the global level and at the gluconeogenic genes loci may be involved in the maintenance of endogenous glucose production in rainbow trout fed a high carbohydrate diet. To explore this hypothesis, I particularly pay attention to explore the whole complexity of the rainbow trout genome. Indeed, an additional whole genome duplication event occurred at the base of the radiation of the salmonid fish, resulting in duplicated copies of many single-copy human genes. These duplicated genes are, in principle, available for the evolution of new functions that could drive the origin of novelties and thus contribute to the diversification of life on Earth. They are thus all highly important to consider to better understand original phenotypes such as the glucose-intolerant phenotype in trout.
My work thus revolves around three objectives: 1) understand the role of duplicated gluconeogenic genes in the establishment of the glucose-intolerance phenotype and their regulation by dietary carbohydrates, 2) study the global epigenetic changes induced by dietary carbohydrates and their underlying mechanisms, and 3) study the nutritional programming as a strategy to improve the use of dietary carbohydrates via the modulation of the global epigenome and the gluconeogenesis pathway.

Anatole France: War is the last redoubt of oligarchy, plutocracy
Anti-war essays, poems, short stories and literary excerpts
Anatole France: Selections on war
Anatole France
From his preface to the French edition of Jack London's The Iron Heel
For various reasons the War, which showed itself so cruel to the lower middle classes, stripped them without forcing from them a single cry, for they are dumb creatures! The war was not too harsh to the workman employed in the greater industries, who by turning shells found the wherewithal to live, and whose wage, meagre enough when once the War was over, yet never fell too low. The masters of the hour saw to that! And after all, these wages were nothing but paper which the wealthy industrial chiefs, themselves in close touch with the higher powers, had little difficulty in procuring. And so the workman managed to exist the best way he could. He had heard so many lies told that he was no longer astonished at anything. It was just this time that the Socialist party selected to break up and reduce itself to dust. It was a grand defeat for Socialism, and accomplished without either dead or wounded! How came it about? How was it that all the forces of a great party fell asleep? The reasons I have given are insufficient to explain the matter. The War must count for something.
Do not let us jeopardize the future; it is our own. Plutocracy will perish. Already, in its very strength we can perceive signs of its ruin. It will perish because all caste government is vowed to death. It will perish because it is unjust. It will perish swollen with pride and at the height of its power, just as slavery and serfdom have perished. Even now if one observes it attentively one can see that it is decrepit. This War which the great commercial interests of all the countries of the world desired, this war which was ITS war, this war in which IT placed ITS hope of new riches, has caused so widespread and so deep destruction that international Oligarchy itself has been shaken, and the day is drawing near when it will crumble down upon a ruined Europe. I cannot tell you that Oligarchy will perish at once, and without a struggle. She WILL struggle. Her last war will perhaps be long, and of varying fortunes. Oh, you heirs of the Proletarians! Oh, you generations of the future, children of the days which are to come! You will struggle, and when reverses begin to make you doubtful of the success of your cause, you will again take courage and say with the noble Everhard:
"Lost for this time. But not for ever! We have learned many things. Tomorrow the cause will arise once more, stronger in wisdom and in discipline."

Reception: Saturday, February 27, 7-9 pm!
Working as Curator, Clayton Windatt of Zakide Aboriginal Artist-Run Collective is recruiting the aid of Edgardo Moreno as Composer and Eddie Jeanveau as Audio Technician to create a series of stand alone audio installations entitled "Nisidotan" or "Understand by Hearing" responding to the theme of Ojichaagobiishin for Ice Follies 2016 (February 13 - 27, 2016). An installation will subsequently be presented at the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery, and be open to the public indoors in the Gallery II Main Space as of February 27. In the creation of Nisidotan, a team of audio technicians will document the sounds of Lake Nipissing over the course of several months. The sounds under the ice as it shifts and cracks over time will be captured making environmental audio from Lake Nipissing. This will give an organic voice to water. Moreno will then process these into a sound-scape installation utilizing sounds from community intertwined. This mixing of sounds and tones will form a faint melody-like immersive piece installed on-site. With the temporary and fragile nature of water as a resource, Moreno will explore the calming effect of water sound and the drastic affect of a threatened environment.
Edgardo Moreno was born in Santiago Chile and is Toronto based composer who specialises in film scores as well as contemporary dance and theatre. He has traveled as an artist in residence to Sweden, Argentina, Banff Arts Centre as well as Chile, Trinidad, Puerto Rico, Venezuela to study local musical traditions. He has worked extensively with choreographers Allen Kaeja, Karen Kaeja, Alejandro Ronceria, Penny Couchi, Susan Lee. He traveled to Sweden in September1999, 2001 to create music for choreographer Allen Kaeja. In his collaborations with Allen Kaeja he has scored music for commisssions from London England, Norway, Mexico, Israel. He has compsosed music for Allen Kaeja's films 'Sarah', 'Witnessed', 'Zummel', 'Resistance', 'Old Country', 'Asylum of Spoons'. Dramas include Headhunter, Gummy, The Letter. He has written three seasons for television travel show 'Exploring Horizons' (Outdoor and Life Network). He has also created and produced music for CBC, CITY TV, BRAVO, and a feature length documentaries 'El Contrato'and 'Six Miles Deep' NFB, 'Doctors With Borders', 'Shift Focus' OMNI, Hitler's Canadians (History Channel), Chichester's Choice (TVO), Under Rich Earth. As a freelance commercial composer he has created music for clients that include IBM, Loblaws, Bravo's Freedom Series. His music has been licensed world wide to clients such as Fossil Watches, Relic Hunter, Current TV U.S.A. Fashion Television, Flash Press Poland, Blue Rabbit Films, Haemimont Games, Karina Garcia Spain, Kobalt Music New York and many more. He has worked extensively as an educator in schools through the Ontario Arts Council Artists In Education and Residency grants.

text: Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to wire a regular 5V vtx up to Diatone Tyrant S that has a Diatone FuryF3 FC. The VTX is a DYS MI200. The original Diatone VTX is not required to only have 5V like this DYS is, and it was also installed and powered through a jt plug that sent VCC power to it. My camera is getting power from the FC. I wanted to know if I could just solder the new DYS power to one of my random 5V pads, and still use the same GRD and Video In from the original JT plug. I'm concerned because one of the betaflight F3 boards that Josh Bardwell reviewed he said something about you can use either side but not both. Sorry it confused me a little. Thanks! -WooDy

Audience Buying Made Simple
What If I told you there was a way to get your digital display ads in front of people researching your competitors online? Would you be interested in getting your ad in front of people who are reading about your service in a news article or people who visited your donation page, but still haven't donated?
You can do all of this and more with audience buying. And it's no longer just for the Nikes and Coca-Colas of the world. It's affordable and accessible for small nonprofits and large organizations alike.
What is audience buying? Simply put, it is the shift to buying audience segments based on data collected on them vs. buying ad space on one or two sites. Through audience buying, brands can identify the audience they want to reach and then ads will show up for that audience on a multitude of sites that they visit.
If you are only buying digital display ad space directly from handpicked sites, you are likely missing a big opportunity to get in front of your true audience—or helping them progress down the sales funnel. This is especially true for organizations that have a specific product or service niche, or are advertising in a small geographic location.
Four reasons to consider audience buying:
- Better reach
You can reach your audience no matter where they are online, resulting in fewer wasted impressions than advertising on one site alone. Audience buying also expands your reach by putting you in front of people who fit within your target audience but who may not visit sites where you currently advertise.
- More precise targeting
You can reach your audience more precisely. Parameters can range from targeting a user based on what they are reading online to what they are buying, what they are searching for, their job title and beyond.
- More affordable
Audience buying is purchased with a dynamic CPM, which means your bid is flexible and you only pay what the impression is worth—giving your budget more impact (think Google Adwords).
- Better results
Because you are reaching the intended audience, you will see better results and more qualified leads.

There is an increase in Credit Card users and it is important that you understand how the charges are charged on the finance. Different Credit Card providers use different method to calculate the finance charges. Some companies may disclose the method and the interest rate that is being charged, but some may not.
What is finance charge?
Finance charge allows credit card companies and lender to make profit off of you. It is the total cost of borrowing and it includes interest, fees and other charges. If you know the finance charge, you can budget in a better way and determine how much money you are saving through a particular Credit Card.
Most lenders calculate finance charge using the one cycle finance charge including purchase or the one cycle finance charged not including purchases.
You also need to be aware of the outstanding balance on your Credit Card and the total number of days included in each billing cycle. You may have to calculate the new purchases in your outstanding balance depending on the method used by the provider.
How to calculate one cycle finance charges?
The average daily balance including new purchases is the balance divided by the total number of days in the billing cycle. The finance charge is the amount adjusted for the number of billing cycles in a year multiplied by the average daily balance.
The average daily balance excluding new purchases is the added up outstanding balance for each day in your billing period divided by the total number of days in the billing cycle.
Which charge is the best?
Cards charging one cycle finance charges including purchase should be avoided as there is no grace period. The finance charges will not be affected, if you use the card to transfer balance and not make purchase on it.
Cards charging one cycle finance charges excluding purchase is ideal for those who use credit cards to purchase groceries and gas.
Guide on how finance charges are calculated
To understand how finance charges are calculated, let's assume that you have a zero balance on your credit card. You then go to a retail store and buy groceries of AED500. You buy a new phone AED3,000. You now have an outstanding balance of AED3500 and the minimum payment is AED200. The due date is the 2nd day of the next month. Let's assume you missed the deadline and the lender is charging a late payment fee. 10% is charged as a late payment fee, so the amount charged is AED60.
The interest is charged on Annual Percentage Rate and the rate is adjusted against the number of billing cycles in the year. If the Annual Percentage Rate is 18%, the monthly rate will be 1.5%. Therefore, the finance charge will be 1.5% of the average daily balance. The finance charge is the amount that is adjusted for the number of billing cycles in a year multiplied by the average daily balance.

Say goodbye to that bulky shredder at home. Check out the smallest shredder in world. Shredding scissors from Sally Foster. I love this tool! Use it when you only need to shred a few pieces of paper each day like a bank statement or credit card application. Its just like using a pair of scissors but this one has 4 blades. No more tossing those personal documents in the trash.

Plastering Question
Plastering in a bathroom
we're having a new bathroom installed in a 1930s end terrace....
[edit] - the bathroom fitter that we've got in has said that most of the plastering that I've done is too thick, that the old mortar from the original tiles, that I was going to leave on, can come off, to use less plaster overall, the edges round the windows are dodgy, and the surface to be tiled isn't flat enough, so most of it's coming off, and he's going to replaster, to a good enough finish for tiles or paint....
this is the thing with DIY - if you can't do it well enough yourself, it pays to get a proffessional in.

Best Answer
sounds like to me you would of been better off hacking the lot off and re-line the walls with Gyproc moisture resistant boards.
A nice,flat brand new background floor to ceiling.
But that's just my opinion,no doubt you will receive different suggestions.
Hope this helps.
Answered 5th Apr 2011
Agree with Carl, sounds like you have a bit of everything on your walls at the moment.
Best to do the lot in same material, and as said, you will have nice flat walls for tiling and painting.
Answered 5th Apr 2011
I agree with Carl, Dot and dab new boards over the damaged areas, not expensive and gives you a new wall surface for tiling and plastering. Only plaster the untiled area, the tiles can be put on the new board. Skim the remainder. Remember it's a plastering trowel not a wand.
