Graphene is an excellent material for applications in biosensing. The maturity of graphene devices has steadily increased over the years, having now reached a stage in which off-the-shelf graphene components are available on the market, placing biosensing within reach of startup businesses and research groups.
Graphene has several properties which make it favourable for use in biosensing. The 2D nature of the material in itself provides intrinsic advantages, because the entire material volume acts as a sensing surface. Furthermore, graphene provides excellent mechanical strength, biocompatibility, thermal and electrical conductivity, compactness, and potentially low cost.
Graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) are the dominant technology for biosensing applications of this material. GFETs rely on well-established technology of charge carrier density changes in the presence of an analyte. Changes in charge carrier density in graphene, due to the presence of a species that is being detected, are registered as changes in voltage or current passing through the graphene transistor. Such a sensing principle can be applied for detection of gases, liquids, or solid materials such as biological material.
GFET is a modification of the classic silicon field-effect transistor, ubiquitous in modern electronics. In traditional transistors, silicon acts as a thin conducting channel, the conductivity of which can be tuned with applied voltage. GFETs perform in a similar manner, except that the silicon is replaced with graphene, which yields a much thinner and hence more sensitive channel region. In sensing mode, channel conductivity is perturbed in the presence of an analyte. Due to the broad electrochemical potential and ability to be functionalized, GFETs present an attractive device for biomolecules to attach to, and because of graphene's ultimate thinness and extreme surface-to-volume ratio, electrical properties are sensitive to even the smallest concentration of attached molecules. Using GFET, biosensors with a detection limit of 10 pg/mL were produced for opioid molecules.

Graphene biosensors thus satisfy the key demands on any sensing technology, such as specificity, reproducibility, stability, sensitivity, and linearity.
Figure: Graphenea GFET devices on a microchip.
Graphene oxide (GO) also has a strong potential for applications in biosensing. Scientists from the Fraunhofer institute in Berlin, for example, have modified their GO sensors to test for COVID-19 antibodies. Prior to that, the same researchers showed that a single drop of blood or saliva can be enough to accurately and reliably detect infection with other diseases within just 15 minutes. Disease detection is performed by a sensor that consists of a sheet of GO placed between two electrodes, functionalized with molecules that bind to a specific biomarker. Graphene oxide has a history of use in biosensing, including antibody detection, real-time breath detection, pesticide screening, DNA sensing, HS virus detection, and others.
Graphenea has designed a range of GFET-based devices to make sensing easier for our customers. The GFET-S product range contains nearly a dozen different designs, aimed at different applications that customers may have. These products typically contain a microchip with a number of devices on it, ready for parallelized sensing action. The devices in the different products have different features and geometries, such as Hall bars, 2-probe GFET channels, encapsulated metal pads to avoid degradation when working with liquids, 3-probes, ultrathin backgates for individual control of each graphene device on chip, and different channel dimensions. This product range is aimed at researchers who wish to embark on graphene-based sensing and desire off-the-shelf working graphene devices that they can customize. For example, the GFET-S20 has been used by our customers to detect interleukin-6, a biomarker that is increasingly used as an indicator of inflammation, as an early warning sign for a range of diseases from asthma to cancer. The devices were also used as reliable, portable, fast detectors for COVID-19. Biosensors based on the GFET-S20 were shown to outcompete traditional ELISA and state of the art Simoa biosensors, having proven to be simple, fast, with an ultralow limit of detection (LOD).
Figure: GFET-S20, intended for use in liquid environments.
The use of GFET for biosensing has been made simpler by the introduction of additional products from the Graphenea Foundry. For instance, the MGFET product range is a step up from the GFET range, consisting of GFET devices on a microchip (die) that is attached to a chip carrier, with all contacts wirebonded. As such, a customer can just slip an MGFET into a socket on a measurement board and start working immediately.
If the customer so desires, they may obtain the Graphenea Card, which interfaces MGFET devices to the electrical equipment used for signal readout. The card contains 6 BNC connectors and a series of switches, allowing external access to each contact on the graphene device.
Figure: MGFET slotted into a Graphenea Card.
For a nearly turn-key solution for graphene-based biosensing, customers may turn to the Graphenea Cartridge S2X. The cartridge, like the Graphenea Card, interfaces GFET (S20) devices to readout electronics, but it also includes an inert casing with a reservoir where the customer can directly perform the biosensing.
Figure: Graphenea Cartridge.
With proven advantages over other commercially available solutions, a high sensing versatility, and ease of use when combined with Graphenea’s integration solution, GFET biosensors are satisfying the needs of many researchers and boosting the accessibility of biosensing research for everyone.

Billy La Mont
Sweet Thang is a record famous for the fact that it is genuinely Hendrix playing some blistering guitar that only he can play. Brantley tried later on to cash in on Jimi's fame by getting Lee Moses to copy the style but here is the real thing. This was probably recorded in New York's Abtone Studios circa June 1966.
The song is a rough work out for Billy La Mont's vocals as he screeches over the backdrop of Hendrix's guitar and Brantley's other tell tale use of blaring horns. The song is co-written with Lonnie Youngblood so one can expect that he is on the session because he also co-arranged the song with another Brantley regular T.Staff. The B-side Please Don't Leave is a quieter affair and is a typical ballad which rips off James Brown's Please, Please, Please.
This record has attracted interest from the Hendrix specialists and you can find further information on alternative versions of the record on Hendrix compilations here:-
The above site informs that Sweet Thang also appeared with vocals by Lonnie Youngblood and changed lyrics with the title of Wipe The Sweat and appears on a early Hendrix compilation.
Billy had another 45 out on Brantley's Brant T label (Darlin') Please Come Home which is very similar in style to Please Don't Leave. The song is actually arranged by Lewis and Farmer who usually provided songs for Vidalia Productions. The other side is a version of Jimmy Norman's So Called Friend which has a thick heavy backing of guitar homes for Billy to work his stuff over and broken up with rolling thunder drums as the horns drive it forward. There is some nifty guitar playing in a middle segment with Billy impeaching his lover about her so called friends. The horns build this song up and there is a terrific roll of the drums before it fades. Jimmy Norman arranged the track.
I have no further information on Billy and I don't know whether it is the same guy who had Country Boy on Okeh in 1959 and perhaps also cut the tunes Hear Me Now, Talking Trash and Lookey Dookey in the 50's. There was also an Official label CD out called Billy La Mont meets Chuck Edwards but again I have no further details.

I have a z820 workstation that has outlived its life as a CAD workstation but will make a great FreeNAS server for backups. FreeNAS works best with LSI controllers with IT firmware vs IR firmware which is what is currently installed as part of the HP default. I am pretty sure I can cross flash the on board controller to IT mode firmware but I don't want to do that for a variety of reasons. I have obtained an LSI SAS9211-i8i card and have successfully cross flashed its firmware to IT mode.
The issue is the on board controller and the PCI-E card seem to be in conflict. I want to disable the on board controller but cannot seem to figure out how. Any help would be appreciated.
07-16-2019 01:19 AM
please read the hp maintenance manual or the user manual for information!!!!! it covers all aspects of the system in detail and will/does cover that the features of the system are and the options of said features
for most systems that have onboard add on controllers (z820 included) entering the bios and disabling the desired controllers will fully disable it
please note that disabling the controller, is not the same as disabling the controllers boot rom in this case the card will no longer boot, but will still be seen once a OS is loaded
to recap, for your request you want to enter the z820 bios and select the "Disable" option of the onboard controller not the one that just disables the onboard LSI boot rom, but leaves the card enabled

Travi$ Scott Has a New Release Date for ‘Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight’
Much like another artists who we won't name (ahem, Frank Ocean) Travi$ Scott was supposed to drop his sophomore album, Birds In the Trap Sing McKnight last Friday (Aug. 5). Clearly, that didn't happen but the Houston rapper doesn't want you to fret, he says the album is definitely coming on Aug. 12.
Travi$ said the anticipated project was delayed due to "technical difficulties." But no worries, the rapper is having a .Wav Party hosted by Apple Music on Aug. 12 to celebrate the album's new release date. The announcement came last night (Aug. 8) via Instagram. And while there's no official explanation on what exactly will go down at this .Wav party, there will apparently be an installation by artist James Turrell, whose work primarily involves "light and space." Travi$ revealed previously that a short film will accompany the album, so perhaps that will be shown as well.
In addition to Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, Travi$ has said that he has another project in the works, Astroworld, which will drop not long after this one. The project is assumedly an ode to his hometown, Houston, since the baseball team shares the "Astro" name and the now defunct Six Flags was also called AstroWorld.
Check out Travi$'s announcement for his new album below.

In September 2012, Barack Obama was weeks away from defeating his GOP rival Mitt Romney to win his historic second term as America’s first black president. The United States of America seemed like a series of trials, complications, and deadly contradictions, along with endless possibility and hope.
Perhaps nowhere was that more obvious than on reality TV, where Bravo’s “Don’t Be Tardy” and E! K’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” was the kind of show that people watched unnecessarily.
Meanwhile, on VH1, Sherry Zampino was about to get her first taste of reality TV fame on “Hollywood Axis,” which was essentially a more grounded version of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” which would debut two years later. “Access” starred Zampino – the ex-wives of Zampino – actor Will Smith’s former and NFL player-turned-NFL player Pastor Terrell Fletcher – and other notable figures in Los Angeles, including Nicole Murphy, Andrea Kelly, Mayte Garcia and Jessica Canseco (related ex). Huh. the great comedian Eddie Murphy; Now humiliated and imprisoned R&B star R. Kelly; Dear musical genius Prince; and Major League Baseball star Jose Canseco).
And I was in it. mainly. (And not just because Zampino was married at the time to a fellow St. Louisian who attended school with my eldest sister.)
In addition to being relatable, it was also glamorous. Who hasn’t been hurt or abandoned by an ex like Andrea Kelly, or somewhat hung up on an old, iconic love, like Mayte Garcia? But then there was Nicole Murphy, who made it to the other side and came out on top. She spent most of her screen time hanging out with her beautiful, model-ready daughters and buying things with then-boyfriend Michael Strahan’s black card.
and Zampino, who studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan fashionable There, supporting his friends with funny side-eye and commentary, to deal with his own drama within his soon-to-be faltering marriage.
“Although we don’t talk every day, it’s one of those things where, when we connect, it’s like we start right where we left off,” Zampino now tells of his “Hollywood X” cast. says about. “There’s a true brotherhood, there’s a true bond that I feel is like, you know — it’s a lifetime.”
The VH1 series lasted three seasons and cast Zampino to the sometimes over-the-top world of Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchise. She joined “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” this season as a friend of the show’s first black cast member, fan favorite Garcelle Beauvais.
“The thing that gave me a little bit of security and confidence is because I did ‘Hollywood’ [Exes],'” Zampino said. “I knew it was on a whole other level. I just didn’t understand how. But I went inside just being present.”
“I’m a fan, so I’ve watched it for years and have your opinion and all that,” she continued. “And I understand that with reality [TV]You don’t see everything. They have a story they are trying to tell on the back of the production. So I said, I want to go in and be fair and experience ‘in the moment’ like a real-time experience with these women. And I think that worked for me. It gave me a lot of peace and I was pleasantly surprised.”
We are now far beyond 2012, and the days of “hope and change” of the Obama administration. In our dystopian, disease-ridden present, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” has also taken a dark turn, this time with cast member Erica (Girardi) Jane going full-on reality-TV villain on the plight of “widows and orphans.” Huh. Who was allegedly cheated by her estranged husband and his law firm.
But Zampino is enjoying his time on the show. And he has gasps too! Enjoyed some time with the heavily infamous Girardi.
“I was pleasantly surprised by some of the women I didn’t think I’d like, what characters they were, what they were offering, and my opinion based on what I saw as a fan. Erica’s Like, I really thought she was funny. I had a great time with her. I’ve seen her real and I’m from New York,” Zampino said. “So I love people who are genuine and you know where you stand.”
Surprise for him too? Lisa Rinna, soap opera star and wife of actor Harry Hamlin.
“I saw a very cherished side to him that I didn’t really know,” Zampino said. “So yes. I just kept looking.”
As a “Housewives” fan (I mainly use the “Real Housewives of the Potomac” GIF on Twitter because Karen Hugher, Ashley Darby, and Candias Dillard Bassett are GIFs that keep on giving), I have Zumpino’s There were a lot of questions for her, mostly about her thoughts on fashion. Who is bringing it daily among the wives? And who could make the most of his fit-training aid?
(Psst. This is the fashion challenge of the Potomac and “reasonably” shady Giselle Bryant, right? She wanted to say Giselle.)
“You’re so messed up with this question, and one immediately comes to mind,” Zampino said. “I don’t want to say that.”
“Is this Giselle?” I said, obviously messed up.
“I don’t, I don’t want to say that,” she said.
“I forgive you. But in my heart, it’s Giselle,” I said. “I can say that as someone who loves him.”
“Be beautiful,” said Zampino, hopelessly still not naming names. “I can’t say that. I can’t say you’re wrong. I can’t say that, but I can’t say you’re wrong.”
And who are the most fashionable housewives in Beverly Hills? Zampino was deeply in love with Rinna and label addict Dorit Kemsley.
“I’m really digging her style, that’s Rinna. Ah, Rinna I dig. I dig her style because I know my boobs are too big to wear with some of the things she wears, but I love a woman wearing a suit,” Zampino said. “I love that kind of androgynous chic. I love the way she wears her suits, and she’s bold with her color choices. Yes, I like her vibe. I do. I love her style.” And then, of course, Dorit. Dorit has amazing style. Dorit goes to Louis Vuitton and says, ‘I’ll have it all.’ Then she’s going to wear it all at the same time.”
So who does Zampino find most relatable, and who did he mesh with the best outside of Beauvais? They named relative newcomers Krystal Kung Minkoff and Diana Jenkins, who have already become controversial among fans in their first season on the show.
“The crystal is just sweet,” Zampino said. “I think she’s a cute girl. From what you see, she’s a lot more funny than the way she’s portrayed. I think she’s a fun girl. She’s cute. And Diana First of all, I like the way Diana plays, right? She’s doing everything, everything Top, top, top, top row! And she’s real. It’s just unexpectedly his. ,
“I like to know where I stand with people,” she continued. “You don’t have to like me, but don’t tell me you do, and then behind my back – you know what I mean? I like to know where I stand. So this It’s refreshing in this city, in LA, when you meet someone who’s like, ‘It’s me, take it or leave it.’ I like it.”
When it comes to the “shadiest” on the show, Zampino name-checked a particularly weird Sutton Strake, who I’ve found to be an attractive Southerner with chronic foot-in-mouth disease.
most real? His girl, Garcel Beauvais. the funniest? Zampino nominated himself. So rich that they are out of touch with reality? For Zumpino, it’s Jenkins.
“Maybe it’s Diana, because remember, she didn’t know something that was basic,” she said. “I can’t remember, but we’re like, ‘How come you don’t know that?’ It was an outlet. I think someone mentioned an outlet or something.
“Oh, the outlet mall,” I said. “That was Crystal. She was talking about, ‘Have you ever been to an outlet mall?'”
But in a show about very wealthy women who are “at least” rich, Zampino again picks himself up. She said that Beauvais is the one she trusts the most with a secret, and the one she trusts least is… Kyle Richards, often jokingly as an uncredited producer on online shows. is described in.
“Kyle’s gonna like it, she’s gonna tell it!” Zampino said.
“He’s like a producer, practically, to the point,” I said.
“Absolutely. She’s sold out. She’s totally in… all in, all in!” Zampino joked.
The meanest on “RHOBH”? Even though Zampino clearly likes Girardi, he had to say it.
She said, “The most flamboyant I’ve ever seen on the show is Erica.” “Erika is bringing that heat, so let’s say Erica.”
On “Beverly Hills” Erica Is The Only One Other Than You And Garcelle Who I Think Can ‘Live On'[Real Housewives of] Atlanta, ’cause those women are vicious,” I said.
“Lemme tell you something, you couldn’t pay me enough [to be on ‘Atlanta’],” Zampino quipped. “You couldn’t pay me enough. You could not give me, you could have given five diamonds. ‘We’ll give you 10 diamonds!’ no ma’am! no sir. no sir!”
Speaking of Diamonds, Does Zampino Want to Be a Full-time Cast Member on “RHOBH”? From the pages of HuffPost to “Real Housewives” God’s ears—who will executive producer and “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen Zampino are below.
“I would love to offer a diamond,” she said.
Come on, bravo. Make Zumpino another jewel among the group of diamonds. She has already delivered on reality TV. She could definitely do it again.

The day prior to the Thursday funeral of Jason Rivenburg, the Schoharie County, New York, trucker felled last week by a bullet in an apparent robbery while he was parked off I-26 in South Carolina, a sizable convoy of trucks was escorted by police around the New York state capitol building in Albany. The convoy rolled, according to Albany’s Capital News 9, to highlight the need for safer parking on the nation’s interstates. (Rivenburg was found parked at an abandoned gas station.) Rivenburg’s obituary in the Albany Times newspaper is here.
Under the last highway bill, current through this year, $6.25 million (thanks, TruckerGirl13, who also blogged about this subject here) in annual federal expenditures was set aside for truck parking on the National Highway System. With a new highway bill looming, Rivenburg’s tragic case stands to be a boon to stepped-up effort at providing more plentiful, safer facilities. Meanwhile, state budget troubles have led to plans to cose rest areas in Vermont, Louisiana, Virginia, Arizona and other states.
A petition is circulating pertaining to the need for more and safer parking — you can sign it and read more about Rivenburg’s story here.

reports in YNET News:
The protestors are demanding an escalation of the demonstrations including blocking roads around the country until the government takes action against the wave of violence that has claimed the lives of 68 members of the community since the start of 2019.
We’re still in a state of emergency,” says Sana Masarwa from Wadi Ara. “We can’t let up until the police find some sort of solution; we need to take to the streets and block roads every day until the police arrests the criminals and shooters.”
A resident of a central Israel concentration of Arab towns known as “the Little Triangle,” who preferred to remain anonymous, says: “My friends and I decided not to return to our homes as usual, the police needs to know that it’s a part of the problem with its lack of deterrence and letting criminals run free.”

Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has imposes a 24 hours curfew across the state till further notice after the prison break in Edo state. The curfew is to take effect from 4pm today.
The decision becomes necessary because of what it described disturbing incidents of vandalism and attacks on private individuals and institutions by hoodlums in the guise of #ENDSARS protesters.
This is contained in a statement issued on Monday by Osarodion Ogie, Secretary to the State Government.
The reads in part:“While the government of Edo State respects the rights of its citizens to undertake legitimate protests, it cannot sit idly when hoodlums have taken laws into their hands to cause mayhem on innocent citizens and the state.
“By the directive, schools and businesses are to shut down activities accordingly. Those who cannot move safely are to stay put between now and 4pm till calmness is restored.
“Parents are advised to rein in their children, youths and wards, to forestall further breakdown of law and order. The responsibility of government is to protect lives and property and maintain law and order, therefore, anyone found outside in violation of the curfew would be dealt with according to the law,”the statement said.
The Nigerian correctional centre located along Sapele Road in Benin City, Edo state capital was on Monday invaded by hoodlums and over a hundred inmates set free.
The hoodlums had stormed the sapele road correctional facility after about a week non stop protests which has almost grinded all economic activities.

Japanese Garden at Adachi Museum of Art Ranked Top for Twentieth Consecutive YearTravel
Every year, Sukiya Living, a US-based magazine, calls on experts from around the world to choose the 50 best Japanese gardens from among roughly 1,000 candidates, including gardens at Japanese traditional inns and private residences. This project aims to evaluate Japanese gardens simply by their beauty and quality, without regard to scale or level of fame.
The top Japanese garden in 2022 was Adachi Museum of Art, a ranking it has now retained for 20 years in a row. This garden, which surrounds the museum and covers an area of around 165,000 square meters, features a diverse array of garden styles, including a karesansui (dry landscape) garden, a moss garden, and a white gravel and pine garden.
Speaking about being ranked top for the twentieth year, the museum Director Adachi Takanori said that “the founder Adachi Zenkō devoted the latter half of his life to gardening, with the belief that ‘a garden is like a picture scroll.’ In keeping with his wishes, the gardeners and all the museum staff work together all year round without a single day off to maintain the gardens. I think the results reflect an appreciation of these steady efforts.”
The Katsura Rikyū garden of the Imperial Household Agency in Kyoto, was the runner-up, also for the twentieth year. Other high-ranking gardens were Yamamoto-tei, a former private residence in Tokyo’s Katsushika, and Minami-kan, a ryokan in Matsue, Shimane Prefecture.

Garcelle Beauvais Welcomes a New Family Member: “Absolutely in Love”
The RHOBH cast member said she's "totally obsessed" with the addition.
Garcelle Beauvais has a new love in her life. And she’s “totally obsessed.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mom took to Instagram on Wednesday (November 8) to introduce fans to her newest — and furriest — family addition. “Hey, guys. So I’ve been wanting to share this with you,” she began in the video. “I am absolutely in love. Are you ready? I’m ready.”
After a few seconds of suspense, Garcelle picked up an adorable puppy and showed him off to the camera.
“Meet Kobe. Oh my god. I’m obsessed!” she continued. “It’s an early birthday present. Isn’t he the sweetest? I’m totally obsessed.”
Garcelle, who will celebrate her birthday later this month, also posted a photo of her hugging the golden brown pooch in front of a rose wall.
“Kobe Marshmallow Beauvais,” she captioned the carousel, followed by the hashtag “in love.”
Housewives gush over Garcelle Beauvais' new puppy
The Instagram garnered more than 25,000 “likes” and more than 1,000 comments, including one from Garcelle’s oldest son, Oliver Saunders, who wrote: “OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.” The post also received gushing replies from other Bravolebrities, including The Real Housewives of Miami’s Guerdy Abraira and Alexia Nepola, as well as RHOB’s Kyle Richards and RHOB newbie Annemarie Wiley.
“Cannot handle the cuteness!!!” the latter wrote. “Bring him over so my kids can play with him please and thank you.”
Dorit Kemsley echoed Annemarie, commenting: “Aww congrats!!! He’s gorgeous!!! So happy for all of you!”
In addition to all the love and compliments, Kobe was also showered with some adorable gifts. A day after introducing the pup, Garcelle returned to Instagram to showcase the “Hairmes” dog gift set she received from Hales Labradoodles, as well as a gift basket from her son Jaid’s girlfriend. The basket contained some treats, chew sticks, and several Kong toys.
Garcelle Beauvais' Family Dog, Bear
This, of course, isn’t the first time Garcelle has taken on “puppy mom” duties. In a 2017 interview with Best Friends, the actress spoke about her family’s shih tzu–Lhasa apso named Bear.
"He just fit into our family from the moment we saw him. From day one, he adapted and endeared himself to us in every way,” she told the publication, before confirming they had rescued the dog from a local shelter. “I told the boys not to fall in love with the first dog they saw — that’s when Jax said, ‘too late.’” It was love at first sight … he keeps my boys so happy.”

Glioblastoma multiforme (GMB) is the most malignant and common type of all astrocytic tumors. Current standard of care entails maximum surgical resection of the tumor, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, usually by the alkylating agent Temozolomide (TMZ). Despite this aggressive combination therapy, the survival rate of GBM patients is still low. Deregulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) / Akt pathway is a frequent occurrence in GBM. Activation of the PI3K-Akt pathway results in disturbance of control of cell growth and cell survival, which contributes to a competitive growth advantage, metastatic competence as well as to therapy resistance. The PI3K-Akt pathway is therefore an attractive therapeutic target in GBM, because it serves as a convergence point for malignant processes and intervention might overcome resistance to chemotherapy and radiation. The present review shows the importance of Akt in GBM and its role in the DNA damage response. Furthermore, an overview is given of specific inhibitors of Akt which are currently being tested in preclinical and in early phase clinical studies.

A transportation group wants prosecutors to slam the brakes on drivers who fatally strike pedestrians walking on sidewalks.
Transportation Alternatives says motor vehicles fatally struck 15 people who were walking on New York's sidewalks in 2015.
The group invoked Mayor Bill de Blasio's Vision Zero initiative, which seeks to eliminate pedestrian fatalities, in calling for stronger efforts from prosecutors.
It says sidewalks are supposed to be safe for walking.
At the corner of Fulton and South Portland streets, a swerving driver went around a bus and onto the sidewalk, killing 30-year-old Victoria Nicodemus.
That driver is facing a $500 fine and up to 30 days in jail on two misdemeanor charges, according to Nicodemus' brother, Hank Miller.
"Now the man has his license back," Miller says. "It's ridiculous."
Advocates want tougher penalties and more aggressive prosecution.
Outside the courtroom, the mayor's Vision Zero plan calls for an investment of $115 million into street safety improvements around the city this year.

Man accused of killing Little River woman brought back to Horry County
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) – A man accused of killing a 55-year-old woman in Little River is now back in Horry County.
Colby Kopacz, 29, was arrested earlier this month in Florida and charged with murder in Amy Kopacz’s death.
Jail records show that Colby Kopacz was booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center around 12:35 p.m. Wednesday. He is charged with murder and grand larceny of $10,000 or more.
The 15th Judicial Circuit public index shows he had a bond hearing on Thursday morning, and it appears no bond was set according to jail records.
The coroner’s office said Amy Kopacz died due to injuries sustained in an assault at a home along Little River Inn Lane.
Our news partner, My Horry News, reports that Colby Kopacz was the victim’s son. Police have not released what led up to the assault.

The key to the success of Land Forces is full freedom of manoeuvre and action. In the modern Land environment, this is heavily reliant on dominance in the Information Domain. A balanced portfolio of Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) increases the chance of mission success, but in a world where technology evolves and changes so rapidly, keeping up is the challenge.
This challenge is particularly prevalent when mitigating improvised threats, with IEDs and drones being key. Here at EWS, we focus on providing the mission data needed to conduct CEMA against improvised threats now and on the horizon.
Introducing Mission Data for Improvised Threats – MD4IT
We call it Mission Data for Improvised Threats – MD4IT for short, and we see it as a role that is now as important in the Land environment as it has been for decades in Air and Maritime platform protection.

Hope Lights Our Way
Japan’s new Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch livery has been revealed.
The rendering for this livery was released back in October 2019. Just today, the aircraft took flight wearing the new livery for the first time.
This aircraft is a Boeing 787-8 operated by Japan Airlines with the registration JA837J. Just today, it was ferried from Tokyo Narita to Tokyo Haneda.
This livery is honestly one of my favorites because of how symbolic it is.
Both Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways have their logos represented on the aircraft, which shows the two competitors partnering together for this major event.
The livery features a runner with the torch at the front of the fuselage and red strokes representing the Olympic flame.
The livery has the words “Hope Lights Our Way” which is something very significant during this worldwide crisis.
All images from @hamutaro2016 on Twitter.
What are your thoughts on this special livery?

On Saturday, we had a FRONT PAGE article on WiFi!
Wireless Internet can be accessed for free at local libraries and businesses
By MARGARET FOSMOE
Tribune Staff Writer
ON SCREEN: Stephen Taig, of Elkhart, works on his laptop computer last week at Panera Bread in Mishawaka. The restaurant offers free high-speed wireless Internet access to customers and loans out wireless cards.
SOUTH BEND — Free high-speed wireless Internet access is spreading among area public libraries and businesses.
Known as Wi-Fi — short for Wireless Fidelity — it provides computer users a convenient, fast Internet connection.
Anyone with a wireless-equipped laptop computer or a personal desk assistant (such as a Palm Pilot) can now access the wireless Internet for free at any St. Joseph County Public Library location.
Some county library sites have offered wireless service for several years, but the bring-your-own-computer service debuted this month at the library in downtown South Bend and all eight branches.
“It’s here, it’s free and you don’t have to sign up to use it,” said Bob Lewandowski, a county library technology trainer.
(Well done Bob!)

ATLANTA — Johnny Isakson, an affable Georgia Republican politician who rose from the ranks of the state Legislature to become a U.S. senator known as an effective, behind-the-scenes consensus builder, died Sunday. He was 76.
Isakson’s son John Isakson told The Associated Press his father died in his sleep before dawn Sunday at his home in Atlanta. John Isakson said that although his father had Parkinson’s disease, the cause of death was not immediately apparent.
Isakson, whose real estate business made him a millionaire, spent more than four decades in Georgia political life. In the Senate, he was the architect of a popular tax credit for first-time home buyers that he said would help invigorate the struggling housing market. As chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, he worked to expand programs offering more private health care choices for veterans.
“His work to champion our veterans, deliver disaster relief for Georgia farmers after Hurricane Michael, and always stand up for Georgia’s best interest in the U.S. Senate will live on for generations to come,” Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said in a statement. “As a businessman and a gifted retail politician, Johnny paved the way for the modern Republican Party in Georgia, but he never let partisan politics get in the way of doing what was right.”
The Marietta Republican had suffered health problems in recent years that left him frequently dependent on a cane or wheelchair. In 2015, while gearing up to seek a third term in the Senate, Isakson disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, a chronic and progressive movement disorder that had left him with a noticeably slower, shuffling gate. Soon after winning reelection in 2016, he underwent a scheduled surgery on his back to address spinal deterioration.
In August 2019, not long after fracturing four ribs in a fall at his Washington apartment, Isakson announced he would retire at the year’s end with two years remaining in his term.
In a farewell speech on the Senate floor, Isakson pleaded for bipartisanship in Congress at a time of bitter divisions between Republicans and Democrats. He cited his long friendship with the late Rep. John Lewis, an Atlanta Democrat and civil rights hero, as an example of two men willing to put party aside to work on common problems.
“Let’s solve the problem and then see what happens,” Isakson said. “Most people who call people names and point fingers are people who don’t have a solution themselves.”
The Atlanta native made his first bid for elected office in 1974 when he ran — and lost — a race for the Georgia House of Representatives. He succeeded two years later and went on to serve 17 years in the Georgia Legislature, with time in both the House and Senate.
He suffered a couple of humbling setbacks before ascending to the Senate. In 1990, he lost the race for governor to Democrat Zell Miller. In 1996, Guy Millner defeated him in a Republican primary.
Many observers chalked up the loss to Isakson not being tough enough on abortion. In the primary race, Isakson ran a television advertisement in which he said that while he was against the government funding or promoting abortion, he would “not vote to amend the Constitution to make criminals of women and their doctors.”
“I trust my wife, my daughter and the women of Georgia to make the right choice,” he said.
He later changed his mind on the contentious issue. Isakson’s jump to Congress came about when in 1998 U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich decided not to seek reelection. Isakson won a 1999 special election to fill the suburban Atlanta seat.
He finally made it to the U.S. Senate in 2004 when he defeated Democrat Denise Majette with 58% of the vote. In the Senate, he served with Georgia senior Sen. Saxby Chambliss, a close friend and classmate from the University of Georgia.
Isakson was viewed as a prohibitive early favorite to succeed Republican Sonny Perdue in the governor’s mansion in 2010. But he opted instead to seek a second term in the Senate. While there, Isakson developed a reputation as a moderate, although he rarely split with his party on key votes.
He was a lead negotiator in 2007 on compromise immigration legislation that President George W. Bush sought to push through Congress but ultimately abandoned after it met strong resistance from the right. Chambliss and Isakson were booed at a Georgia Republican Party convention that year when the immigration issue arose.
Isakson supported limited school vouchers and played a major role in crafting Bush’s signature education plan, the No Child Left Behind Act. He also pushed a compromise bill on the politically charged issue of stem cell research that would have expanded funding for the research while also ensuring that human embryos weren’t harmed.
Isakson’s bill would have permitted research on cells derived from amniotic fluid and placentas and from embryos that have died naturally. The bill wasn’t included in the legislative package that ultimately emerged and Isakson voted against the final version of the legislation that was later vetoed by President Bush.
Isakson graduated from the University of Georgia in 1966 and founded his family-owned company, Northside Realty in Cobb County, a year later. It grew to one of the largest independent residential real estate brokerage companies in the country during his more than 20 years at the helm. Isakson also served in the Georgia Air National Guard from 1966 to 1972.
He is survived by his wife, Diane, whom he married in 1968, three children and nine grandchildren.

2017 could not have come any sooner. 2016 ahhh, was not a year of firsts anymore. It was a year that I wanted over from the moment it started and now it’s gone. Thank the heavens for that!
2016 was a year that I traveled outside the UK into Europe and Africa for the first time ever. Those were exciting days. I soaked myself in those moments, but deep down, my heart was in a dark place. My heart remained in a dark place and dragged my head down with it. Every time I took a breath out a small part of my soul left with it. So last year, I had no power to stop myself, I just let myself grieve. And I must say that I’m so very very grateful for my friends, new and old – my family that keeps growing; for pulling me through. It was a year where I had to make a difficult career choice so that I could go on to achieve my 5 year goals.
It was also a year where some of the loveliest couples I knew got married, and I wish them a world of happiness through all the hardship they took to get there. I couldn’t be more excited for you!
I’m ready for this year. To get on with things head strong, to travel with my heart free, to look forward instead of looking back, to focusing on what is instead of what if. The year I can finally begin again, awaken my dead bones, and restart my heartbeat. I hope this year will be our saving grace where we get in touch with ourselves and regain our humanity. Let us not forget those who need us, stuck in situations beyond their control, in poverty and war-striken regions around the world. May we all hope to make a small difference in our lifetimes.
I shall leave you with that and some lovely words from Ms Leav.
With love, always,
Dear loved ones,
It’s the dawn of a new year. And as every new year starts I’d like to reflect on the past year just a little bit.
2015 was overall a great year! It started off with friends I hadn’t seen in a long time and having them around gave my heart so much peace. It was the year where I started my first job and got my first salary. It was a year of many firsts in that aspect. I gave my first qurban, I lost my first baby (at work, not my own), I traveled with my own money, I sorted out my taxes, I used my amazon account, etc etc. Small but big victories none-the-less.
It was a year where friendships were strengthened. Where those who were there for me shined through my darkest days. It was a year where I got way too many birthday gifts. I’m not complaining. And I’ve now got a wall of cards.
A year of travel which will hopefully pass onto the new year. Big whoop for all of you who hosted me and who I hosted. Hope to see you again 😀
2015 was also a year I lost someone close to me. And being honest, it still very much feels like a huge hole in my life. It’s an ache that refuses to go away or be ignored. It has also been a year where I’ve appreciated my mother a lot for her support.
But it was a year of beautiful beautiful memories and daily inspiration in random places – so I say thank you to everyone for being with me this year. For the love, the friendship, the closeness, the wisdom and very much for believing in me when I lost sight of myself.
And I’ll leave you with these words I found this morning
Real love is neither kind nor gentle, and does not award itself to the cowardly or the meek. Love is beholden only to the brave and the bold. Those who are prepared to break bone and bleed for it, to go on fighting without reason or hope.

Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash Documentary ‘Street Survivors’ Set for Release
A new documentary film that chronicles the plane crash that killed several members of Lynyrd Skynyrd in October of 1977 is set for release. Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash will premiere on Feb. 16 in Hollywood.
The forthcoming documentary tells the story of the plane crash from the perspective of former Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle, who survived the crash and helped pull other members of the band and entourage out of the wreckage afterward. Pyle consulted with screenwriter and director Jared Cohn on the documentary for historical accuracy, and in a press release announcing the film's release, he says he's pleased with the results.
“This film’s story — my story — is not just about the plane crash but also about my personal relationship with the genius that was Ronnie Van Zant — whom I loved like a brother and still miss to this day,” Pyle states.
Van Zant was Skynyrd's original lead singer, and he died on impact along with guitarist Steve Gaines, vocalist Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray when the group's twin-engine Convair CV-300 went down in a swamp in Gillsburg, Miss., during a flight from Greenville, S.C., to Baton Rouge, La., on Oct. 20, 1977. The accident took place just days after the release of Skynyrd's fifth album, Street Survivors, and derailed the band for a decade.
Skynyrd reunited in 1987, with Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, Leon Wilkeson, Pyle and guitarist Ed King — who had left the band two years before the crash — joined by Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother Johnny as their new lead singer, and the group have continued on in various permutations ever since. Lynyrd Skynyrd are working the road for what has been announced as their farewell tour in 2020.
In typical Skynyrd fashion, the new documentary arrives after considerable drama. According to Ultimate Classic Rock, news of the film first surfaced in 2016, and in 2017, a judge halted production due to a lawsuit from the families of Van Zant and Steve Gaines and founding band member Gary Rossington, the sole remaining original member in the current band. The filing claimed that Pyle’s involvement in and profit from the film violated an agreement made by the band’s surviving members in 1987. An appeals court overturned the decision in 2018, allowing the film to move forward.
Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash is slated to premiere on Feb. 16 at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival. The film will get an expanded release to theaters in the Spring of 2020. A video on demand release and an official soundtrack are set to arrive simultaneously on June 30.

COMMISSION DESIGNATES UNITED NATIONS FIRST FLOOR INTERIORS
Ambassador Grill and Lobby Designated as Youngest New York City Interior Landmark
(New York)- The New York City Landmarks Commission today unanimously voted to designate the First Floor Interiors of the United Nations Hotel, located at 1 and 2 United Nations Plaza in Manhattan. The property is the youngest Interior Landmark in New York City. The designation consists of the hotel lobby reception area, the entrance foyer and hallway, and the Ambassador Grill dining area and bar area. The newly designated interiors are important examples of Late Modern and Post-Modern design by the prominent architectural firm Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates. Today’s action brings the number of interior landmarks in New York City to 118.
"These unique spaces represent some of the best and most well preserved interiors in the style and aesthetic of the 1970s and 80s, and we’re delighted to ensure their protection," said Commission Chair Meenakshi Srinivasan. "As the architecture of this period comes of age, the Commission is proud to designate this site, which not only contains its first Post-Modern interior, but is also the youngest New York City Interior Landmark."
Both interiors are located on the first floor as part of a hotel-and-office complex built by the United Nations Development Corporation. Exceptionally well-preserved, the Ambassador Grill and hotel lobby skillfully blend modern and historical forms. Completed seven years apart, these glittering public interiors display distinct stylistic vocabularies that express the shifting character of American architecture between the mid-1970s and early 1980s.
The theatrical, u-shaped Ambassador Grill was completed in 1975 and opened in 1976. Located in a windowless room at the rear of the building, it has mirrored walls and a dramatic, vaulted faux skylight, which is backed by illuminated mylar panels. The dining and bar area is divided by angled walls, freestanding walls, serving counters, and several piers. Of particular interest is the glazed ceiling vault that snakes through both areas. The atrium-like reception area, completed in 1983, parallels the entrance along East 44th Street and features a stepped octagonal glass dome and a ramped hallway flanked by free-standing columns of unusual design.
Built during an era when relatively few new hotels were constructed in New York City, these nearly intact lavish interiors are a distinctive example of public spaces in the 1970s and 1980s.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Wednesday that Rome was allocating 25 billion euros ($28.3 billion) to fight the novel coronavirus outbreak that has killed 631 people in Italy.
“We have allocated an emergency sum of 25 billion euros,” Conte told reporters during a break in a meeting on the government’s response to the rapidly escalating health crisis.
The entire sum “will not all be used immediately,” Conte added.
Economy Minister Roberto Gualtieri said Italy will immediately use “half of these resources” and keep the other half in reserve.
Italy unveiled a 7.5-billion-euro emergency response package last Thursday that officials later said would likely have to be increase to match the rapid rise in new infections and deaths.
A top economy minister had said on Tuesday that the package could reach 10 billion euros.
Italy, whose faltering economy is the third largest in the eurozone, needs special EU permission to spend more than allowed under the bloc’s strict budget rules for its 27 member states.
EU leaders had said they would accept Italy’s request when it still stood at 7.5 billion euros.
Italy has witnessed more than half of all the deaths recoded outside China since the epidemic first started spreading from the Asian giant’s central Wuhan province in January.
The government responded to the outbreak last month by quarantining 50 000 people in 11 villages that were worst affected in the north.
That was followed on Sunday with restrictions on travel and public gatherings in Milan’s Lombardy region and surrounding areas such as Venice in which more than 15 million live and 40% of all economic activity occurs.
The Lombardy measures were extended to all of the Mediterranean country’s 60 million people on Tuesday morning.
The restrictions have had a profound effect on the way Italians live and work.
The central streets of Rome were deserted on Wednesday morning and busses that are usually crammed with commuters ran almost empty.
Tourists have disappeared and the Vatican’s Saint Peter’s Square is closed to all but those who want to enter the main basilica to pray under its soaring dome overlooking Rome.
People have been told to keep at least a metre (three feet) from each other and handshakes are frowned upon. Italians have found themselves starting to talk to each other a few steps apart – while often laughing about the regulations along the way.


As the state heads for the crucial bifurcation and Seema Andhra left with out a proper state capital, Venkaiah Naidu rightly assumed the office of Urban Affairs Ministers. With strong RSS roots from his childhood, Venkaiah Naidu became famous for his participation in Jai Andhra movement and his anti-congress stand during the Emergency time. While no one will question Venkaiah’s commitment on Anti-Congress politics, his commitment for Jai Andhra will be tested as he assumes office as Urban Affairs Minister. Seema Andhra will be looking at him to deliver the justice promised by BJP in their manifesto.
On the other side, Venkaiah was also trusted with the portfolio of Parliamentary Affairs. Venkaiah is known for his intelligent tackling of with various people across the party lines. He also commands respect from all the political parties and he would be an apt choice for the ministry more than any one else. His experience in maintaining equally good relations with Vajpayee and Advani during earlier NDA governments and the way he tackled Advani to accept Modi’s leadership recently may have got him the good recognition.

[singlepic=22785,320,240,,left]Every since Dark Horse Comics released a lithograph of “300” antagonist and Persian God-King Xerxes, there hasn’t been any new news in the way of the prequel. That is until now with the newly relaunching of Dark Horse Presents. In the upcoming 80-page first issue scheduled to drop next year, fans will get an exclusive first look at the six-issue miniseries written and drawn by Frank Miller himself.
The story is suppose to take place a decade before 300 and focus predominately on the king’s ascension to godhood in a world where the possibility is presupposed.
Here’s what Miller had to say about the character’s titular prequel at Hero Complex earlier in the year:
“The story will be the same heft as ‘300′ but it cover a much, much greater span of time – it’s 10 years, not three days,” Miller said. “This is a more complex story. The story is so much larger. The Spartans in ‘300′ were being enclosed by the page as the world got smaller. This story has truly vast subjects. The Athenian naval fleet, for instance, is a massive artistic undertaking and it dwarfed by the Persian fleet, which is also shown in this story. The story has elements of espionage, too, and it’s a sweeping tale with gods and warriors.”
No word yet as to when the actual film production will begin. Zack Snyder who directed the original “300” film had expressed interest in directing “Xerxes,” but is temporarily indisposed as he’s currently tackling directorial duties for WB/DC’s “Superman” reboot.
