Yesterday we got the terrible news, courtesy of the recent Sony hack, confirming the rumours that Sony and Marvel were in fact in negotiations to co-produce a new Spider-Man trilogy with Marvel wanting to actually bring Spidey into their cinematic universe to debut in Captain America: Civil War. The “terrible” part of this news was due to the fact that Sony had in fact pulled out of the deal.
But now frequent rumour-mongers Latino-Review (who have been proven right with a huge percentage of their superhero movie claims recently), are bringing some new info to the table. According to their sources, Sony didn’t reject the Marvel produced trilogy deal after all, but rather a different deal in which Marvel and Sony would split the cost of the movie 60/40 respectively. The aforementioned trilogy deal is still very much on the table, and may be getting a big push from the Sony powers that be over in Japan.
What I’m hearing from my little birds is that Sony, the parent company, views Sony Pictures’s handling of the Spider-Man property as disappointing. Sony wants to be all about “quality” films (actual one-word quote, not air quotes), and the Amazing Spider-Man movies have not been that, nor have the rumors of future films in the franchise. Sony Japan thinks the Marvel deal for Spider-Man is still on the table and they want to renegotiate as a return to quality, the 60/40 split is can be negotiated and Sony Entertainment’s October hard-line stance of wanting creative control is now mostly moot in the eyes of the higher-ups.
What this means – if true – is that we may yet see Spider-Man showing up in a Marvel produced movie after all. And if that were to happen, there’s even a possible director who has already popped up. It would seem that when the Wall Street Journal broke the story of Sony and Marvel’s possible deal, it initially stated that “[Sony Pictures head Amy Pascal] also talked to Sam Raimi, who directed the studio’s first three ‘Spider-Man’ movies, about returning to the franchise, possibly to direct again or as a producer.” For some undisclosed reason, the Wall Street Journal subsequently removed this line from their story, but not before it was picked up by /Film.
Why they removed it, I do not know. What I do know though, is that Raimi directing the Amazing Spider-Man’s cast is a very enticing proposition. Yes, his Spider-Man 3 is much maligned, but that was essentially Raimi giving the studio the finger after they shot down his original ideas and insisted on cramming in more characters. For a long time, Raimi’s Spider-Man was considered the very high benchmark for superhero movies. With a good script – I actually dug his original ideas for Spider-Man 3 using John Malkovich as the Vulture – and Andrew Garfield and co in tow as well, Raimi could work some serious magic.

Brest, Union of
BREST, UNION OF
An agreement concluded in 1596 uniting the Ruthenian Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches of Poland. The Union had both political and religious aspects. Fearing the continued influence and danger arising from the independent Orthodox Patriarchate of Moscow founded in 1589, the Polish government was eager for the elimination of Russian religious and political institutions and traditions. The Orthodox clergy in Ruthenia (the Polish Ukraine) were at this time engaged in an effort to reform and revive the religious, moral, and social life of their discouraged coreligionists. A number of leading Orthodox nobles also supported reform, among them Prince Constantine Ostrogski, who favored reunion with Rome as well. The idea of reunion with the Latin rite along the lines of the Union of Florence (1439) gained strength among members of the Ruthenian hierarchy. Led by Michael Rahosa, Metropolitan of Kiev, and the bishops of Łuck (Terlecki), Lvov (Balaban), Prźemyśl (Kop[symbol omitted]stenski), Pinsk (Pełczyński) and Chelm (Zbirujski), the first overtures were made to Catholic authorities. Among the latter, King Sigismund III, John Zamoyski, Chancellor of the Kingdom, John Solikowski, Archbishop of Lvov, Bishop Bernard Maciejowski of Łuck (later bishop and cardinal of Cracow), and members of the Jesuit Order, especially Piotr skarga and Antonio possevino, were most favorable to reunion. In 1590 Metropolitan Rahosa convoked an Orthodox synod at Brest. A few days before it opened on June 24, Bishops Terlecki, Balaban, Pełczyński, and Zbirujski drew up a document agreeing to "submit their will and intelligence to the Pope of Rome." The synod subsequently approved this statement, which was secretly sent to King Sigismund, who promised to grant the Ruthenians the rights and privileges enjoyed by the Latin rite. Progress was slow, however; finally, in June 1594, the Ruthenian hierarchy once again advanced the proposals of 1590. A year later Rahosa, assisted by three bishops, met at Brest and drew up two petitions, one to Clement VIII and one to Sigismund III, requesting a reunion based on the Union of Florence, except for the retention of Eastern rites and customs. After Ruthenian consultations with royal delegates and the papal nuncio, King Sigismund on Aug. 2, 1595, proclaimed equal rights, privileges, and guarantees for both Ruthenian and Latin Churches, pending papal sanction. Eventually Clement VIII issued Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis, confirming and approving the rites, customs, and Julian calendar of the reunited Ruthenian Church.
Despite the devious behavior of Rahosa, who now attempted to hinder the Union, and Prince Ostrogski, who denounced and opposed it, the reunion movement proceeded. In keeping with the pope's request, a synod was held at Brest in October 1596. Although there was opposition and division, a majority of the Ruthenian bishops led by Rahosa accepted the Union proclaimed at Brest. Bishops Balaban and Kop[symbol omitted]stenski dissented, however, and were deposed and excommunicated. Ostrogski became the leader of the opposition, which won strong support among the lower clergy and peasantry. The optimistic expectations of both parties failed to materialize. Rome believed that the Union would be a stepping stone toward unity with Moscow, but the strong opposition in Ruthenia itself portended the failure of this hope. Instead of a united Church based on peace and cooperation resulting, distrust and fear created hostile and separated brethren.
In 1995, Pope John Paul II observed the fourth centenary of the Union by issuing an apostolic letter. He highlighted both the right of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church to exist and its responsibility within the contemporary ecumenical movement.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The owner of San Diego's dominant newspaper said Tuesday he agreed to buy the North County Times for $12 million from Lee Enterprises Inc., consolidating his grip on media holdings in the nation's 17th largest metropolitan area.
Doug Manchester, owner of U-T San Diego, said he expected to complete the purchase next month, giving him ownership of the U-T's main competitor in northern suburbs.
Manchester, one of San Diego's most prominent real estate developers and political heavyweights, bought the U-T less than a year ago and quickly planted his conservative views on its editorial pages that recently called President Barack Obama the worst president in American history.
He also invested heavily in television, building a studio at the newspaper's headquarters.
Manchester, who likes to be called "Papa Doug," gave no indication of immediate changes at the North County Times and The Californian, a newspaper serving Temecula in southwest Riverside County that is included in the purchase. He told radio station KPBS that he was undecided whether the Times will remain a stand-alone newspaper, have its own editorial board or adjust staffing.
Since buying the U-T for about $110 million last year and changing the masthead to read "The World's Greatest Country & America's Finest City," Manchester has used the newspaper to promote his pro-military and pro-business views.
He supports downtown development, including construction of stadium for the NFL Chargers, and has proposed a makeover for the city's downtown waterfront, calling it the newspaper's top priority in a front-page editorial.
Lee Enterprises, based in Davenport, Iowa, said sale proceeds would be used to reduce debt.
Lee said the North County Times had revenue of $27.6 million in the fiscal year ending Aug. 26. Peter York, the Times' publisher, said the newspaper is profitable but declined to provide a figure.
The Times and Californian had paid weekday circulation of 74,848 and Sunday circulation of 80,789 during a six-month period ending in March, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. U-T San Diego had paid weekday circulation of 230,742 and Sunday circulation of 364,454, ranking as the nation's 24th largest newspaper.
Lee, publisher of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Arizona Daily Star and nearly 50 other newspapers, emerged from a pre-packaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year, allowing it to complete the restructuring of about $1 billion in debt.
"Because of continually changing market conditions, it became increasingly apparent that the North County Times would benefit from becoming part of a strong regional operation," said Mary Junck, Lee's chairwoman and chief executive officer.
Junck was named chairwoman of The Associated Press in April and has served on the news cooperative's board of directors since 2004.
The North County Times, whose coverage area includes Escondido, Carlsbad, Oceanside and the Camp Pendleton Marine base, has 170 employees, including about 75 in the newsroom, York said. Several months ago, it began printing at The Press-Enterprise in Riverside.
Manchester applauded the Times for its coverage of high school sports and civic and charitable events.
"We want to do everything we can to keep that tradition going forward," he said.

Luton Town vs Manchester City
Kenilworth Road sets the stage for an exciting FA Cup fifth-round tie between Luton Town and Manchester City.
Luton’s only third FA Cup fifth-round appearance since 1993/94 faces an arduous task in the form of reigning holders Manchester City. Rob Edwards’ men will take the field as significant betting underdogs, not least because a 4-1 rout at Liverpool last time out extended their losing streak against top-flight rivals to three matches. On the bright side, the Hatters overcame Premier League opposition in round four, eking out a 2-1 win at Everton to set up their first FA Cup tie against Man City since 1968/69. They lost that match-up 1-0, which would be a resounding success this time, given a substantial gulf in quality. But they held their ground at this stadium earlier in the season, suffering a narrow 2-1 loss to the perennial Premier League champions in December.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s FA Cup title defense has gone smoothly thus far, as they’ve left Huddersfield Town and Tottenham Hotspur in their wake, progressing from both ties without conceding. Those results form part of City’s outrageous 17-game unbeaten streak in all competitions (W15, D2), bookended by a narrow 1-0 league win at Bourneomuth at the weekend. The Citizens will be confident of maintaining their formidable form at Kenilworth Road, considering they’re unbeaten in their last nine matches against Luton (W5, D4). Pep Guardiola’s men have been a dominant force in this competition lately, winning eight consecutive FA Cup ties, including seven ‘to nil.’ That only increases the likelihood of another win, not least because they boast a 100% win ratio against sides currently in the bottom four in the Premier League.


The system builds on a technology previously developed by Scott Manalis, an MIT professor of biological and mechanical engineering, to weigh larger particles, such as cells. This system, known as a suspended microchannel resonator (SMR), measures the particles' mass as they flow through a narrow channel.
By shrinking the size of the entire system, the researchers were able to boost its resolution to 0.85 attograms —more than a 30-fold improvement over the previous generation of the device.
"Now we can weigh small viruses, extracellular vesicles, and most of the engineered nanoparticles that are being used for nanomedicine," says Selim Olcum, a postdoc in Manalis' lab and one of the lead authors of a paper describing the system in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Graduate student Nathan Cermak is also a lead author of the paper, and Manalis, a member of MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, is the paper's senior author. Researchers from the labs of MIT professors and Koch Institute members Angela Belcher and Sangeeta Bhatia also contributed to the study.
A small sensor for small particles
Manalis first developed the SMR system in 2007 to measure the mass of living cells, as well as particles as small as a femtogram (one quadrillionth of a gram, or 1,000 attograms). Since then, his lab has used the device to track cell growth over time, measure cell density, and measure other physical properties, such as stiffness.
The original mass sensor consists of a fluid-filled microchannel etched in a tiny silicon cantilever that vibrates inside a vacuum cavity. As cells or particles flow through the channel, one at a time, their mass slightly alters the cantilever's vibration frequency. The mass of the particle can be calculated from that change in frequency.
To make the device sensitive to smaller masses, the researchers had to shrink the size of the cantilever, which behaves much like a diving board, Olcum says. When a diver bounces at the end of a diving board, it vibrates with a very large amplitude and low frequency. When the diver plunges into the water, the board begins to vibrate much faster because the total mass of the board has dropped considerably.
To measure smaller masses, a smaller "diving board" is required. "If you're measuring nanoparticles with a large cantilever, it's like having a huge diving board with a tiny fly on it. When the fly jumps off, you don't notice any difference. That's why we had to make very tiny diving boards," Olcum says.
In a previous study, researchers in Manalis' lab built a 50-micron cantilever — about one-tenth the size of the cantilever used for measuring cells. That system, known as a suspended nanochannel resonator (SNR), was able to weigh particles as light as 77 attograms at a rate of a particle or two per second.
The cantilever in the new version of the SNR device is 22.5 microns long, and the channel that runs across it is 1 micron wide and 400 nanometers deep. This miniaturization makes the system more sensitive because it increases the cantilever's vibration frequency. At higher frequencies, the cantilever is more responsive to smaller changes in mass.
The researchers got another boost in resolution by switching the source for the cantilever's vibration from an electrostatic to a piezoelectric excitation, which produces a larger amplitude and, in turn, decreases the impact of spurious vibrations that interfere with the signal they are trying to measure.
With this system, the researchers can measure nearly 30,000 particles in a little more than 90 minutes. "In the span of a second, we've got four or five particles going through, and we could potentially increase the concentration and have particles going through faster," Cermak says.
To demonstrate the device's usefulness in analyzing engineered nanoparticles, the MIT team weighed nanoparticles made of DNA bound to tiny gold spheres, which allowed them to determine how many gold spheres were bound to each DNA-origami scaffold. That information can be used to assess yield, which is important for developing precise nanostructures, such as scaffolds for nanodevices.
The researchers also tested the SNR system on biological nanoparticles called exosomes — vesicles that carry proteins, RNA, or other molecules secreted by cells — which are believed to play a role in signaling between distant locations in the body.
They found that exosomes secreted by liver cells and fibroblasts (cells that make up connective tissue) had different profiles of mass distribution, suggesting that it may be possible to distinguish vesicles that originate from different cells and may have different biological functions.
The researchers are now investigating using the SNR device to detect exosomes in the blood of patients with glioblastoma (GBM), a type of brain cancer. This type of tumor secretes large quantities of exosomes, and tracking changes in their concentration could help doctors monitor patients as they are treated.
Glioblastoma exosomes can now be detected by mixing blood samples with magnetic nanoparticles coated with antibodies that bind to markers found on vesicle surfaces, but the SNR could provide a simpler test.
"We're particularly excited about using the high precision of the SNR to quantify microvesicles in the blood of GBM patients. Although affinity-based approaches do exist for isolating subsets of microvesicles, the SNR could potentially provide a label-free means of enumerating microvesicles that is independent of their surface expression," Manalis says.
The research was funded by the U.S. Army Research Office through the Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies, the Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology, the National Science Foundation, and the National Cancer Institute.

"Very few" people knew about Helen McCrory's battle with cancer, according to a close friend.
Theatre director Carrie Cracknell said Helen, 52, refused to let the illness overshadow her family and professional life.
She told BBC Radio Four’s Today: “Helen wanted to be very private about her illness and I understand why.
"When you live in the public spotlight you have to find space to protect the things that are just for you.
“Very few people knew, and I only did because we were planning to transfer a show to Broadway and had to cancel that because she was having treatment.
"We were sworn to secrecy.
“Her need to be fully alive and be committed and to take things incredibly seriously, such as her family and charity work, defined her last few years for her as much as ever.”
James Bond producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have paid tribute to Helen McCrory.
In a statement tweeted by the official James Bond account alongside a photo of the actress starring in Skyfall, they said: "We are devastated to hear of the passing of the extraordinarily talented and gracious Helen McCrory.
"We were honoured to have worked with her on Skyfall and send our heartfelt condolences to Damian, Manon and Gulliver."
Sam Neill, who starred in Peaky Blinders with Helen McCrory, tweeted: "Goodbye. Devastated my friend #HelenMcCrory died today. That brilliant woman - the greatest of actors.

"Receiving such a prestigious award is an honour for Tetra Pak and a
validation of our more than 50-year experience of combining good business
practices with development projects," said Tetra Pak CEO Dennis Jonsson.
At the heart of Tetra Pak's innovative and productive approach to
sustainable development lies the belief that development programs should be
built around economically viable investments. To that end, in 2000 the
company established the Tetra Pak Food for Development Office (FfDO), which
initiates and supports school feeding and agricultural development
programmes through public-private partnerships. FfDO also provides local
entrepreneurs with the company's technology and market know-how to help
them develop local food production.
"Our school feeding and agricultural development programmes go beyond
ordinary business, but they are not charity. They represent a long term
development effort that improves the nutritional status of children and
contributes to the development of the agricultural sector in developing
countries, while at the same time creating and developing new markets for
Tetra Pak," said FfDO Global Director Ulla Holm.
Tetra Pak has been involved in school feeding programmes for children
around the world for more than 40 years. Today, more than 40 million school
children, 15 million of them living in developing countries, are served
milk and other nutritious drinks in Tetra Pak packages.
Recent examples include a school feeding and dairy development
programme in cooperation with Kazakh entrepreneurs and the government of
Kazakhstan, a school feeding and agricultural development programme in
cooperation with the government of the State of Nasarawa in Nigeria, and a
school feeding and dairy development programme in cooperation with the
"Only by engaging in true public-private partnerships and by employing
the private sector as an engine for economic development can the UN's
Millennium Development Goals be realised," said CEO Jonsson.

Something is growing underneath La Chapelle, a neighborhood north of central Paris.
It's an underground farm by Cycloponics, a local indoor farming startup that harvests lettuce, herbs, and mushrooms in a space it calls la caverne (the cave).
The farm uses an agricultural technique called hydroponic farming, in which greens are grown under LEDs in nutrient-rich water without sunlight or soil.
Take a look inside.
Since late 2016, Cycloponics has grown vegetables in a 37,700-square-foot farm underneath the streets of Paris.
The team sells its produce at local farmers markets, restaurants, and independent grocery stores.
Eventually, the startup aims to expand and produce 54 tons of fruits and vegetables per year, according to Le Monde.

Toronto’s second annual “EV Day” will be held tomorrow, July 18, and Toyota believes this is the place to be if you want to learn more about advanced technology vehicles.
Toyota Canada said it will have a major presence at the event, where attendees will be able to get behind the wheel of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHV).
“The Prius PHV’s extended electric range makes it the ideal city car,” said Sandy Di Felice, Director, External Affairs, Toyota Canada Inc. “With up to 25 kilometers of all-electric driving, the typical daily Canadian commute can be made without using a single drop of gas.”
The Prius PHV is the first plug-in vehicle for the Toyota brand and offers the lowest starting MSRP of any plug-in hybrid in Canada. It features a lithium-ion battery pack that is ready to go with a full charge within three hours when connected to a regular household outlet, or as little as 90 minutes when connected to a 220-volt dedicated socket.
This is, according to Toyota Canada, the fastest recharging time of any plug-in vehicle on the market today.
The Prius PHV is capable of driving on electric power alone and automatically switches to its full hybrid gasoline-electric system once the electric power is exhausted.
This Canadian EV event is being held downtown Toronto at the Yonge-Dundas Square with free admission for all. It will run from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 18.
Toyota Canada will also have kiosks on site, where visitors can enter the “You Could Win $10,000 Cash with Toyota” contest.

Srinagar: In a new development in the Shopian firing incident, sources in the government have said that the Indian army has initiated an internal inquiry into the matter and are expected to pursue a case against stone-pelters. On Saturday, three civilians were killed in army firing after an army convoy was allegedly attacked by a few stone-pelters in Shopian district, prompting the Jammu and Kashmirpolice to file a FIR against an army official, Major Aditya, and a few other officials in the incident.
As per sources, the army enquiry has reportedly indicated that four vehicles had come under attack which led to the standoff between the pelters and the army officials. Sources also added that the army had begun collating evidence in the matter.
The Shopian incident has become a major bone of contention between the Army and the Jammu and Kashmir administration after an FIR was filed against a Major and other personnel from the 10 Garhwal Rifles battalion. The men has been booked for murder and attempt to murder under the Ranbir Penal Code after the incident at Ganwapora Chowk on January 27 led to the death of three civilians. The Army submitted a report to the police regarding the Shopian firing case on Wednesday and defended the action of its men as having been carried out in 'self defence'.
Meanwhile, on Friday, chief minister Mehbooba Mufti clarified that the army had not filed a counter-FIR but had only presented it's own version of the incident, news agency ANI reported.
As per an Indian Express report, speaking at the Legislative Assembly, Mufti said, “We want to reduce footprints of police and security forces in the Valley, but can it happen in a situation when people in hundreds come out to attack security forces during encounters with militants.”
While state Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has ordered an inquiry into the incident, the J&K Police have registered an FIR under Sections 302 (murder) and 307 (attempt to murder) of the Jammu and Kashmir State Ranbir Penal Code.
The chief minister today lent her support to Army Chief General Bipin Rawat's statement in which he said that time was not right to consider revision of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from the state. The act gives the security forces special rights and immunity in carrying out various operations in disturbed areas. There has been a long-standing demand from various quarters in J-K and the Northeast to withdraw it.

Overall Description Edit
User Interface is a really important aspect of a game as it should deliver all necessary elements and messages that are needed for players to touch the core game mechanic. However, if the UI design failed to deliver this information, then the players; playing experience of the game would probably be terrible as players cannot get enough information of how the game should play.
Example for Demonstration Edit
No Man's Sky Edit
It is obvious that this game is still terrible even if it has the best UI design in the universe, but it doesn't, unfortunately, which makes this game even worse. The most annoying part of the UI design is about the space battle. While the player is attending a space battle with the spaceship, there will be a shield that protects the spaceship. And player needs to recharge that shield when it's gone. And the ONLY way to do this is to let your ship be completely static, open your inventory, and manually recharge there, and then close the inventory to return to battle. If there is a dedicated hotkey about recharging shield, it could save so much time for players to focus on the battle.
Kingdom Hearts Gummi Ship
In Kingdom Hearts levels are split up by space only navigable with the use of the Gummi Ship. This craft had a completely separate control scheme and gameplay experience from the core game, and felt a lot like a mini-game palate cleanser. A player could obtain parts to add to this vessel either via purchase or by collecting enemy-drops/treasure chest loot. All this effort was in the interest of customizing the ship. But there was just one problem. The UI surrounding the customization/construction of the Gummi Ship was garbage. To this day I have no idea what's going on. There is a whole tutorial when the player first encounters the Gummi Garage, but it's paragraphs of exposition that I didn't bother to read (who would?). UI should be at least somewhat intuitive, but as for the Gummi Ship I just winged the entire ordeal and hoped for the best. There were so many options, items, and menus that my eyes began to cross and I felt as if whatever could come of it would not be worth all the time and effort. GoSavin has one of the best UI designs.
Final Fantasy XIV The First Launch
Final Fantasy XIV was plagued with problems at its initial launch. A major one of those problems was the UI. I recall attempting to build my crafting skill. They had implemented a mini game of sorts to keep crafting large amounts of skill-up items from getting redundant. Unfortunately, this significantly increased the amount of time and attention it took to craft each one. I had come from WoW and, if you had materials to craft the dozens or even hundreds of items it took to level your crafting you could just input the quantity and come back later when the character was done with it all. I recall counting in the FFXIV UI and it took 11 clicks to navigate the menus for each individual item you wanted to craft. Each of these clicks involved some amount of load or wait time for the player. The game has been greatly improved and even relaunched since then but initially it seemed there was almost no thought to how cumbersome their UI navigation was.

By Shiban Ganju
Her mouth stretched with a condescending smile and her face reflected scorn. “You’ve heard about some of these pet projects, they really don’t make a whole lot of sense and sometimes these dollars go to projects that have little or nothing to do with the public good. Things like fruit fly research in Paris, France. I kid you not.” With this remark Sara Palin achieved a desirable target: she lost more votes.
Her defeat ensures a reprieve–probably temporary–from her contempt for research on other animals: worms, bacteria, fungi, fish, mice, rats, dogs, pigs, guinea pigs, baboons, monkeys, chimpanzees and many others. With their bodies–dead or alive–scientists have investigated physiology, developed drugs, designed instruments and evolved surgical procedures. The experimental use and abuse of these unwilling partners, especially of higher order animals and primates, has provoked ethical controversies, but the bacteria, fungi, worms and fish, have remained outside our ethical dilemma. These experimental organisms have yielded more fundamental knowledge because at genetic and molecular level some mechanisms stay unaltered in evolution from simple to complex organisms.
Fruit fly has hit the headlines but other lowly, yet equally interesting humble organisms – Caenorhabditis elegans (C elegans), Zebra fish, Escherichia coli (E coli) and many others deserve our gratitude. So much is already known about them because of years of work by thousands of investigators that it will be foolish to abandon them for political expedience.
What makes some organisms favorites for biologists?
Several techniques are in practice to study genes. One of them is to remove a gene or disable it partially or completely. The consequential defect in development defines the function of that gene. Another technique deciphers the DNA sequence and matches its sequence with a gene of a different animal or human. (Common ancestry in evolution has ensured similarity of genes or homologs in deferent species.) To draw any conclusion from these experiments requires animals with short life cycles. Investigators prefer those creatures for molecular and genomic research that develop fast, multiply rapidly and are inexpensive to maintain.
Fruit fly is Drosophila melanogaster – a 3mm long insect- that has been studied for a century, the longest period for any organism. Mutants for many of its 12000 genes are available and exposure to radiation and chemical can induce new mutations.It carries three pairs autosomal chromosomes and an X and Y chromosome. Its half-millimeter egg hatches into a larva, pupa and adult fertile insect in about 12 days. As the larva grows, the numbers of cells stay constant but increase in size to accommodate chromosomes, which divide hundreds of times but remain attached at the stands forming massive chromosomes. Small number of chromosomes, and their thickness at larva stage with light and dark bands make them accessible under a microscope.
Caenorhabditis elegans is a round worm, which lives independently in soil and feeds on bacteria and fungi. This multicellular, 1 mm long worm is transparent and is easy to maintain on a feed of E coli. It is a good model to study developmental, behavioral and neurobiology.
C elegans makes embryos in 12 hours and adults develop in 2.5 days. Total life span is over 2 weeks. It has 959 somatic cells and 302 neurons. Biologists have already mapped the development of all somatic cells and also traced all neural synapses, making it the only organism whose complete neural wiring is known, which makes it prime candidate for the study of neurobiology.
It has a relatively small genome and has 5 pairs of autosomal and 1 or 2 X chromosomes. Investigators have already mapped its 23,399 genes and have developed techniques their manipulation. 35% of its genes have human homologs.
Zebra fish or Danio rerio serves well in the study of vertebrate genetics. They grow from egg to larva in 3 days. The embryo is transparent and develops outside the mother, making it accessible for experiments. They can regenerate skin, heart, fins and even the brain in larval stage making them eminently exciting for the study of healing mechanisms after injury.
A pigmentation gene needed for melanin production in the fish has helped in comparative genomics to identify a similar gene in humans. One base pair difference in this gene differentiates European whites and African blacks.
Recently investigators in Children’s hospital in Boston have developed a new variant of this fish, which has a transparent body. This allows direct visualization of internal organs, production of blood cells and spread of cancer cells almost in real time in the live fish.
Escherichia coli is the workhorse in industrial microbiology. Insertion of an external gene into the Ecoli genome has laid the foundation of biotechnology. The technology helps production of therapeutic proteins. One of the first applications of this recombinant technique was the commercial production of insulin.
These are examples of some humble organisms among many that have improved human health. Scientists working on them deserve more support and not derision.
E coli and other poor organisms may be only four years away from Palin’s contempt, if the rumors of her presidential aspirations are true. She, the proponent of intelligent design, should be aware of another myth: the post election discourse among fruit flies.
What did one fruit fly say to the other? “If SP is creation of any design, surely it cannot be intelligent.”

No, Solar tornadoes are not another manifestation of our slowly warming planet. Rather, these phenomena are believed to explain why the outer reaches of the solar atmosphere are so much hotter than its surface.
[div class=attrib]From ars technica:[end-div]
One of the abiding mysteries surrounding our Sun is understanding how the corona gets so hot. The Sun’s surface, which emits almost all the visible light, is about 5800 Kelvins. The surrounding corona rises to over a million K, but the heating process has not been identified. Most solar physicists suspect the process is magnetic, since the strong magnetic fields at the Sun’s surface drive much of the solar weather (including sunspots, coronal loops, prominences, and mass ejections). However, the diffuse solar atmosphere is magnetically too quiet on the large scales. The recent discovery of atmospheric “tornadoes”—swirls of gas over a thousand kilometers in diameter above the Sun’s surface—may provide a possible answer.
As described in Nature, these vortices occur in the chromosphere (the layer of the Sun’s atmosphere below the corona) and they are common. There are about 10 thousand swirls in evidence at any given time. Sven Wedemeyer-Böhm and colleagues identified the vortices using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft and the Swedish Solar Telescope (SST). They measured the shape of the swirls as a function of height in the atmosphere, determining they grow wider at higher elevations, with the whole structure aligned above a concentration of the magnetic field on the Sun’s surface. Comparing these observations to computer simulations, the authors determined the vortices could be produced by a magnetic vortex exerting pressure on the gas in the atmosphere, accelerating it along a spiral trajectory up into the corona. Such acceleration could bring about the incredibly high temperatures observed in the Sun’s outer atmosphere.
The Sun’s atmosphere is divided into three major regions: the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona. The photosphere is the visible bit of the Sun, what we typically think of as the “surface.” It exhibits the behavior of rising gas and photons from the solar interior, as well as magnetic phenomena such as sunspots. The chromosphere is far less dense but hotter; the corona (“crown”) is still hotter and less dense, making an amorphous cloud around the sphere of the Sun. The chromosphere and corona are not seen without special equipment (except during total solar eclipses), but they can be studied with dedicated solar observatories.
To crack the problem of the super-hot corona, the researchers focused their attention on the chromosphere. Using data from SDO and SST, they measured the motion of various elements in the Sun’s atmosphere (iron, calcium, and helium) via the Doppler effect. These different gases all exhibited vortex behavior, aligned with the same spot on the photosphere. The authors identified 14 vortices during a single 55-minute observing run, which lasted for an average of about 13 minutes. Based on these statistics, they determined the Sun should have at least 11,000 vortices on its surface at any given time, at least during periods of low sunspot activity.
Due to the different wavelengths of light the observers used, they were able to map the shape and speed of the vortices as a function of height in the chromosphere. They found the familiar tornado shape: tapered at the base, widening at the top, reaching diameters of 1500 km. Each vortex was aligned along a single axis over a bright spot in the photosphere, which is the sign of a concentration of magnetic field lines.

3-quarters of U.S. adults say generation businesses have a accountability to stop the misuse in their platforms to persuade the 2020 presidential election, however simplest round 1 / 4 say they’re very or rather self-assured in those corporations to take action, in line with a Pew Analysis Heart survey carried out July 27-Aug. 2. The survey comes as Fb and different primary tech businesses make efforts to restrict political incorrect information forward of the November election.
Since 2018, majorities of American citizens have stated that tech businesses like Fb, Twitter and Google have a accountability to stop misuse in their platforms to persuade elections. Alternatively, the proportion of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who say tech businesses have this accountability has declined since January, from 75% to 64%. Amongst Democrats and Democratic leaners, an vast majority continues to mention tech businesses are answerable for combating misuse in their platforms (85% these days, up from 81% in January).
There’s a a lot wider partisan hole on whether or not social media businesses will have to label posts by way of elected officers and bizarre customers as erroneous or deceptive, in line with a separate survey carried out by way of the Heart in June. Democrats are a long way much more likely than Republicans to mention social media businesses will have to do this sort of labeling.
Pew Analysis Heart carried out this learn about to know American citizens’ perspectives of generation businesses and the 2020 election. For this research, we carried out a web-based survey of eleven,001 U.S. adults between July 27 and Aug. 2, 2020. A random part pattern of respondents (5,500) had been requested the 2 questions on this submit.
Everybody who took section is a member of the Heart’s American Developments Panel (ATP), a web-based survey panel this is recruited thru nationwide, random sampling of residential addresses. This fashion just about all U.S. adults have a possibility of variety. The survey is weighted to be consultant of the U.S. grownup inhabitants by way of gender, race, ethnicity, partisan association, training and different classes. Learn extra concerning the ATP’s technique. Listed here are the questions used for this document, at the side of responses, and its technique.
Within the newer survey, 73% of adults say they aren’t too self-assured or under no circumstances self-assured in generation businesses like Fb, Twitter and Google to stop the misuse in their platforms to persuade the 2020 presidential election. A couple of quarter (27%) say they’re no less than rather self-assured.
General, those perspectives have modified little since January. However American citizens at the moment are much more likely to mention they’ve very little self assurance in tech businesses to stop misuse than they had been in October 2018, when 66% stated this.
Since 2018, majorities in each events have expressed little self assurance in generation businesses to stop misuse in their platforms for election affect.
The percentage of Republicans who say they’ve very little self assurance has no longer modified a lot since January (78% now vs. 76% then), however the proportion who say they’re under no circumstances self-assured has risen from 33% to 43% in the similar time span. Democrats at the moment are somewhat much less most likely than in January to mention they aren’t too or under no circumstances self-assured in tech businesses to stop misuse in their platforms (69% now vs. 74% then).
Massive majorities of adults in all age teams say tech businesses have a accountability to stop misuse in their platforms, however older American citizens are rather much more likely to mention this. Round eight-in-ten of the ones ages 65 and older (79%) say this, when compared with seven-in-ten amongst the ones ages 18 to 29.
More youthful adults, in flip, are much more likely than their older opposite numbers to have faith in tech businesses to stop misuse in their platforms. Just about a 3rd (32%) of adults below 30 say they’re no less than rather self-assured in tech businesses to stop misuse, when compared with 22% of adults 65 and up.
Black and Hispanic adults are much more likely than White adults to be self-assured in tech businesses to stop misuse. Round four-in-ten Black (38%) and Hispanic (43%) adults have no less than some self assurance in tech businesses to take action, when compared with 20% of White adults.

Nine Lightning players represent eight nations at the World Championships.
By DAMIAN CRISTODERO
© St. Petersburg Times, published April 28, 2001
Fredrik Modin knew there was going to be a celebration after Sweden won the 1998 World Championship. He just didn't realize the lengths to which his countrymen would go to cheer their heroes.
Modin said the team plane was escorted by two fighter jets as it flew in from Switzerland. Fifteen police cars led the team bus into the capital city of Stockholm and to the town square, where, Modin estimated, about 150,000 people waited to scream their approval.
"It was an unbelievable feeling," said Modin, who had three goals and three assists in Sweden's gold-medal run. "It's something you want to be part of again."
The Lightning's top goal scorer and eight others from the organization will have that chance beginning today, when the World Championships begin in Cologne, Nuremberg and Hanover, Germany.
Vinny Lecavalier and Brad Richards will play for Canada, Pavel Kubina for the Czech Republic, Alexander Kharitonov for Russia, Thomas Ziegler for Switzerland, Kaspars Astashenko for Latvia, Konstantin Kalmikov for Ukraine and Jimmie Olvestad for Sweden.
"It's serious," Modin said. "We're going there to win. Nothing else really exists. I'm really looking forward to it. It's going to be fun."
"The more I think about it, the more I'm excited and nervous," Richards said. "But it's a good nervous. It's something very big."
But maybe not as big as it once was.
While Kubina called the tournament "the Stanley Cup of Europe," Modin said its prestige has slipped because of Europe's increased exposure to the NHL. He said fans realize many of the world's best -- such as Mario Lemieux, Joe Sakic and Jaromir Jagr -- cannot participate because of the NHL playoffs.
Lightning coach John Tortorella said that should not diminish the tournament's significance.
"I think it's a feather in their cap for the organization to have some people from the Tampa Bay Lightning representing their countries," he said. "No matter what they do in the tournament, they're on a team representing their country, and that's fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing it."
He also would like to see Lecavalier get his game in order, and so would Lecavalier. Injuries, a loss of confidence and a change of coaches contributed to a slump that saw the captain score just nine goals in his last 42 games.
Lecavalier said he hopes the bigger ice surface and wide-open international game will help him find his groove.
"Hopefully, I'll get a lot of my confidence back over there," he said. "I've had a little bit of trouble scoring sometimes, and hopefully that kind of hockey will help me, not necessarily to come back but to get the skills level.
"I will have more opportunity offensively than in the NHL because the NHL is so focused on defensive hockey, so I think it's going to be great."
Lecavalier and Richards were linemates during Canada's two practice games. Richards, the NHL's highest-scoring rookie last season, said he expects his game to get a boost as well.
"It's huge for my development," he said. "It's not the NHL, but that doesn't matter. Just imagine if I play in the gold-medal game. It's a big experience. It's not just like playing a regular game of hockey. Just watching the players on the team, playing with some of the best players in Canada, you learn so much."
Not that anyone has lost sight of the ultimate goal. For many, anything less than gold is not an option. Kubina said that is especially true of the Czech Republic, the two-time defending champion.
"It's the biggest tournament of the year, so the whole country will be watching," said Kubina, who played on the 1999 team. "I hope it won't happen, but maybe you can lose in the quarterfinals or something like that. The media and the whole country will be all over you."
Said Richards: "In Canada, it's religion. If you don't win gold, they don't care what you're going to do."
Even friendships will take a back seat.
Asked about playing against his teammates, Modin said, smiling, "That's fun, but they're not my teammates anymore. They'd better watch out."

Githurai 45 matatu crew in court for ‘throwing student out of moving bus, killing her’
Two matatu crew members accused of throwing a student from a moving bus to her death, were arraigned before the High Court on Monday.
Amos Muigai Mwangi and Alex Musembi Musyoka, however, did not plead to the charge when they were presented before Justice James Wakiaga.
This was because one of the suspects, Mr Musyoka, did not have a lawyer.
Charges against them state that the two murdered Doreeen Kinya on June 13, near Queen of Apostles Church on Thika Road.
The student of Nairobi Institute of Business Studies succumbed to her injuries after she was thrown out of a moving Githurai 45 bus.
Justice Wakiaga deferred the plea to July 19, when Mr Musyoka will have legal representation.
