The Boston Housing Authority will become the first in the nation to voluntarily adopt small area fair market rents (SAFMRs). Doing so would link the value of a housing voucher to rent levels by ZIP code rather than to rent levels for the housing market overall, meaning that people with vouchers may have greater access to higher-cost neighborhoods.
In 2016, HUD made the use of SAFMRs mandatory for Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) in 24 metro areas and gave all PHAs the option to voluntarily adopt SAFMRs. The Boston Housing Authority plans to implement SAFMRs on July 1, 2019.
The Boston Housing Authority commissioned a rent study that provided the evidence for HUD to increase both the Fair Market Rents (FMRs) and the SAFMRs. A chart of the proposed SAFMRs for studios through 5 bedrooms for each zip code is available here.
The Boston Housing Authority is seeking public comments through 4 pm EDT on June 24 which should be sent to David Gleich, Chief of Leased Housing Programs, at email@example.com or Boston Housing Authority, 52 Chauncy Street, Boston MA, 02111. A public hearing will be held at the Copley Square Branch of the Boston Public Library, Commonwealth Salon, on June 11 at 6 pm EDT.

Travel to western Canada
The main problem for bands travelling to western Canada is the lack of a
"built-in" audience. Apart from Salvation Army Bands, there is only one
brass band in all of the Vancouver area. This even makes billeting issues
somewhat of a problem.
I was lucky enough to talk about this issue with Bramwell Tovey (a couple of
years back). He agreed to help run a brass band course or help attract a
well-known soloist (in his capacity as conductor of the Vancouver Symphony)
but first we had to develop some sort of organization that could do the
leg-work. We discussed development of a brass band society of British
Columbia, but, as Mr. Tovey put it, one band does not make such a society.
I have been fumbling with the idea ever since, but always the vicissitudes
of life seem to get in the way.
However, any band passing this way (perhaps headed to Japan) please let us
know. We may be able to organize something.
Our band is trying to increase its exposure, and will be playing on March 6
at the Kiwaniis Music Festival. This will be the first time ever that a
brass band has played at that venue. Our program includes Shepherd's Song,
Moorside Suite & Death Or Glory.
With such small steps as these we may yet develop a brass band culture.

JUST IN: Melania Trump has just broken her silence after adult film actress Stormy Daniels gave an interview to “60 Minutes” about her alleged affair with Donald Trump.
Mediaite reported that Daniels claimed she had a sexual affair with Trump in 2006, just months after the birth of Barron. Melania’s representative Stephanie Grisham mentioned Barron in the brief statement she issued after the interview.
“While I know the media is enjoying speculation & salacious gossip, Id like to remind people there’s a minor child who’s name should be kept out of news stories when at all possible,” Grisham wrote.
CNN host Anderson Cooper, who interviewed Daniels, said that the issue at hand here is not the actual affair, but rather the cover up surrounding it.
“For us, it wasn’t so much ‘there was an affair.’ That’s not as much the headline. For us, it’s everything that has happened since and how we’ve gotten to this point,” Cooper said.
“I think there’s more to come on this story. I’m not saying necessarily on Stormy Daniels’ aspect of the story, but on the methods that were used to keep her silent,” he added. “If Stormy Daniels’ story is true that a thug came up to her in a parking lot in Las Vegas in 2011 — this is long before Donald Trump was a presidential candidate — I mean, if somebody is using intimidation tactics, physical intimidation tactics, it’s probably not the first time they’ve done it. So that’s a potential story I would imagine people would look at: Has this kind of thing happened before? And I don’t know the answer to that.”

DIRECTOR OF C.I.A. TO LEAVE, ENDING TROUBLED TENURE
Published: December 29, 1994
(Page 2 of 2)
Last fall, Mr. Woolsey dug in his heels and resisted changes that the Senate Intelligence Committee was seeking in an effort to reshape the nation's intelligence agencies for a post-cold war world. So the committee created a commission, headed by former Defense Secretary Les Aspin, to do it for him.
The commission was given sweeping authority to write a new blueprint for American intelligence operations by March 1996. That was seen in Washington as stripping Mr. Woolsey of executive power and prodding him toward his decision to resign.
The Director of Central Intelligence has two jobs, serving both as the chairman of all the nation's intelligence agencies and as the chief executive of the C.I.A.
Mr. Woolsey routinely arose at 4:30 A.M. six or seven days a week to read classified cables from overseas and absorb briefing books. In recent months he has made many appearances on television and radio, trying to explain the agency's secret work in public. In the end, associates said, the work exhausted him.
In his letter to the President, the Director said he told the President that the "lost evenings, weekends and holidays" with his family were a major factor in his decision. Mr. Woolsey and his wife, Suzanne Haley, have three college-age sons.
The letter also said that Mr. Woolsey intended to "contribute to the discussion" of coming changes in the nation's intelligence agencies in years to come.
Mr. Woolsey won strong support from the White House in protecting the $28 billion secret budget for intelligence from Congressional cost-cutters and in keeping the budget secret. He won praise from both the White House and Congress for streamlining the size and the cost of the nation's constellation of intelligence satellites, hugely expensive systems that take pictures and eavesdrop on telecommunications around the world.
But the Ames case, which started out as a case of one C.I.A. officer's treason, soon became a study in C.I.A. incompetence.
"The Ames case became an albatross," a senior White House official said. "The new challenge for the new director will be the vision of the future, moving beyond Ames, beyond the agency that brought you Ames." Mr. Woolsey had started to accomplish that goal, the official added, expressing regret that he would not stay to finish it.
In the aftermath of the Ames fiasco, Mr. Woolsey promised in July to "change the culture of the C.I.A.," focusing his criticism on the closed, inbred secret society of the agency's operations directorate, where the spies work. But he never really had a chance to fulfill the vow.
"It's rare to have a Director stand up and talk about changing the culture of the C.I.A.," a senior intelligence official said. "But I don't think you can turn 40 years of an organization around in one fell swoop."
Photos: R. James Woolsey Jr. (Reuters) (pg. A1); During his 23-month tenure as Director of Central Intelligence, R. James Woolsey Jr. often found himself embroiled with members of Congress. Last May, before testifying before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Mr. Woolsey, right, chatted with Senator William S. Cohen of Maine. (Stephen Crowley/The New York Times) (pg. B6) Chronology: "A Term Blighted by a Soviet Spy" Important dates in the term of R. James Woolsey Jr. as Director of Central Intelligence. JAN. 25, 1993: Two officers of the Central Intelligence Agency are shot to death while waiting in traffic to turn into the agency's headquarters in Langley, Va. The suspect, a Pakistani immigrant, remains at large. FEB. 3: Mr. Woolsey's nomination is confirmed by the Senate. Days later, he receives his first briefing on suspicions that Aldrich H. Ames, a career C.I.A. officer, is a longtime double agent for the Soviet Union. SEPTEMBER: A senior C.I.A. analyst gives a closed-door briefing to some senators in which he suggests that the exiled Haitian President, Jean Bertrand Aristide, is mentally unstable. NOV. 1: House and Senate Intelligence panels announce plans to investigate C.I.A. involvement in Haiti's domestic politics. NOVEMBER: The C.I.A. admits that a series of mistakes in a narcotics operation in Venezuela resulted in the shipment of a ton of cocaine into the United States in 1990 and 1991. FEB. 21, 1994: Mr. Ames and his wife, Rosario, are arrested and charged with spying. JULY: A Federal lawsuit by a female C.I.A. officer, Janine M. Brookner, a former station chief, says the agency tolerates abusive behavior toward women. NOV. 1: The Senate Intelligence Committee issues a report sharply critical of the C.I.A. as missing chances to stop the Ameses earlier. DEC. 7: The C.I.A. tentatively agrees to pay $410,000 to settle the Brookner sex discrimination suit. (pg. B6)

Australian Wool Innovation
Australian Wool Innovation has finally broken its silence on why it won't continue to fund the Information Nucleus Flock project, a genetic research program.
Some grower groups have been critical of AWI for not funding the project and for a lack of transparency in the decision-making process.
AWI now says the project doesn't translate to commercial gains, for the broader wool industry on a mass scale.
Chief executive Stuart McCullough says it's his fault the issue has generated so much angst among producers.
"I certainly instructed my media person who looks after this to go silent on this.
We felt that the rally would sort of peter out in three to four weeks," he said.
"We read it wrongly in terms of the amount of attention it would get."

The Ground Beneath My Feet
Drama, 1 h 48 min
Not yet 30, Lola controls her personal life with the same ruthless efficiency she uses to optimize profits in her job as a high-powered business consultant. No one knows about her older sister Conny or her family’s history of mental illness. But when a tragic event forces Conny back into Lola’s life and her secrets begin to unravel, Lola’s grip on reality seems to slips away.
The Ground Beneath My Feet will leave you pondering your own breaking point
THE GROUND BENEATH MY FEET is written and directed by Marie Kreutzer who does an amazing job of keeping the audience on edge throughout the film. It is a feature film following protagonist Lola (Valerie Pachner) as she juggles her work, her lover Elise (Mavie Hörbiger) and her sister Conny (Pia Hierzegger).
The Ground Beneath My Feet covers many topics such as Lola’s high powered job as a consultant saving businesses from bankruptcy, with the added pressure of colleagues trying to steal her promotion. As well as having a highly pressured work load her boss is also her lover, and they have to fit their secret relationship around flying in and out of various locations. If a stressful job plus a secret lover wasn’t enough to make her fall off the edge, she is also the legal guardian to her older sister, Conny. Conny suffers with paranoid schizophrenia and has suicidal tendencies and this puts a huge strain on the sisters relationship as Lola is often out of town on work commitments.
Cinematographer Leena Koppe who works regularly with Kreuter did a great job of making the scenes intense by focusing more on the characters than what is happening in the background (most of which were plain and white or grey). Actress Valerie Pachner known for Egon Schiele:Death and the Maiden (2016) and Bad Luck (2015) is brilliant as Lola as she has so many hats to wear Lover, sister, colleague, carer. She has the ability to keep a poker face until emotion is forced upon her character. Sister Conny played by Pia Hierzegger is an actress and writer known for Die Notlüge (2017) and We Used to be Cool (2016) and is seen to go deep into character playing a paranoid schizophrenia with suicidal tendencies who has ended up back in an institution following an attempted suicide.
This film covers many issues such as mental health, inter-office relationships and the need to succeed at all costs. Even though this film is intense, there are moments of comical relief. You feel for Lola trying to juggle everything and living out of a suitcase and her need to succeed at the cost of her own happiness.
Trigger warning: this film contains suicide themes.

How to Pick up Stitches alongside of Work
Instead of casting on stitches to create a sleeve, you can create the starting row by picking up the stitches in the "ladders" between the first and second stitch on the rows - the rate is normally 3 to 4, the BLUE dot notes the "ladders" to start next sequence of 3 stitchs.


A new City of Côte Saint-Luc by-law (2302) obliges apartment owners to offer recycling services to residents and consolidates rules about recycling, hazardous waste, organic waste and other types into one simplified by-law.
“There have been many positive changes in the last few years, such as the voluntary expansion of recycling to apartments and the launch of organic waste collection in single-family homes and duplexes,” Mayor Anthony Housefather said. “This new by-law is an indication of the city council’s desire to manage waste materials generated on our territory in an environmentally respectful manner.”
The collection days are not changing. However, the new collection times for garbage collection, recycling collection and organic waste collection is 7am to 7pm. If waste is placed in a rigid, tightly-covered receptacle (brown bin, blue bin or covered garbage can—not plastic bags) then residents can put it on the curb starting at 10pm the night before.
“Residents who previously were forced to wake up early to put their garbage on the curb now have the ability to seal it in a proper container and put it out the evening before,” said Councillor Mitchell Brownstein, the council member responsible for public works. “We think this is a reasonable given the fact that the collection begins at 7am.”
The by-law includes provisions to fine, however the city wants to first educate and encourage residents to sort their waste.
“Our goal as a city isn’t to fine residents or look through people’s garbage,” said Councillor Dida Berku, the council member responsible for environmental issues. “We want people to do their best and make an effort to divert more of their household to their blue bins and brown bins. The city is providing a way for residents to properly dispose of all the different kinds of waste. It is up to residents to take advantage of this service and do the right thing.”
Highlights for residents of single-family homes and duplexes
- Residents must place their recyclables into the covered blue bins being delivered this spring.
- Leaves and other garden waste must be placed in brown bins, paper bags or certified compostable bags. The organic-waste-collection trucks will not collect organic waste in plastic bags and the garbage trucks will not collect garden waste.
- Household hazardous waste and household appliances—such as paint cans, batteries, televisions and so on—will not be collected and must be dropped off at the Public Works yard depot.
- Bulky waste (such as couches and mattresses) and construction waste will not be collected in the regular garbage collection, however residents can call the city to arrange a collection for a fee or use of the private bulk waste collection companies.
- The city has the authority to reduce or suspend collection of garbage, recycling or organic waste if the resident—after repeated warnings—does not sort items correctly.
Highlights for residents of apartments and condominiums
- Apartment/condominium owners are obliged to offer recycling collection services to its residents.
Highlights for commercial establishments and institutions
- Commercial establishments and institutions must begin recycling by March 2010.
The by-law to regulate the collection and disposal of waste materials (By-law 2302) was passed unanimously by the city council at the March 16, 2009 meeting. A copy of the by-law is available at the Archives counter of city hall (5801 Cavendish Blvd.) or at www.CoteSaintLuc.org/en/Bylaws.

The Future of Workers Post Pandemic
What have workers learned and where are they willing to work as they return to work after a pandemic? Read more here in this PBS News Hour report. "But many Americans going back to work have been deeply changed by the pandemic, and some say the crisis has prompted them to rethink their careers, either by necessity or opportunity. A February Pew Research report found that nearly two-thirds of unemployed Americans had seriously considered changing their occupation or field of work during the pandemic. Another survey conducted this March by Morning Consult on behalf of Prudential found that one in five workers changed their line of work entirely over the past year, and a quarter of workers planned to look for a job with a new employer once the threat of the pandemic had subsided."
How might this influence how we offer higher education and training? Feel free to comment below.

War Thunder and World of Tanks have now been out for over 8 years. However, this is still a debate on which game is superior to the other. This guide provides you an in-depth explanation of both the games and what features shine in the respective game. If you are on the fence as to which game you need to try, then by the end of this article you will be able to finally decide which one you need to go with.
This comprehensive, free-to-play, cross-platform game is available for Linux, Windows, Xbox One, Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and other platforms. This game features naval vessels, armored vehicles, and the most advanced combat units. You can join in the adventure to take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at the sea fighting millions of other players from around the world.
In this modern combat game, the ground forces, naval vessels, helicopters, aircraft, and others collaborate in a real competitive battle. You have the option to choose from about 2,000 vehicles from the early 20th century and also the most modern combat units. Carry out air raids, defend your teammates, shoot down enemy aircraft with rocket launchers or sink an enemy warship in this incredible game.
World of Tanks
World of Tanks is a cult MMO game featuring armored machines that have won the affection of several players all over the world. You gain access to a variety of in-game locations and enjoy realistic gameplay on the battlefield. Plunge into legendary combat and join the army of tankers while playing this incredible game.
The players in the game can choose from six primary battles: team battles, random battles, team-training battles, special battles, stronghold battles, tank-company battles, and others. Rampage and historical battle options were also available earlier but have now been taken down due to poor reception. The players can participate in platoons in random battles. They can also complete missions in the game modes for a varying amount of rewards.
So, which game must you choose?
With both the games promising a similar experience, it can be hard to decide which game you need to go for. Here is a brief comparison of the popular features that will help you make the right move.
Tanks and Planes
The major and the most obvious difference between War Thunder and World of Tanks are in the vehicles available for the players to choose from. War Thunder starts as a flight combat simulator. It also consists of combined arms where tanks and planes fight on the same battlefield.
On the other hand, World of Tanks has always been about just tanks. If you love playing with planes, then you will have to try World of Warplanes. You have hundreds of different tanks to choose from and each one is significantly different from the other. Although this game is not technically realistic in comparison to War Thunder, the diversity of tanks and also the playing style allows you to play out in a thousand different ways.
Arcade shooter or a realistic sim?
You don’t have to spend much time playing both games to realize that they are entirely different. War Thunder is not a full-on simulator and puts greater emphasis on realism than World of Tanks. On the other hand, World of Tanks provides a more arcade-like experience to the players. This is quite evident in the way the control that both the games offer.
The tanks in War Thunder are quite slow. However, the artillery is guaranteed to do real damage. Tanks in World of Tanks feel like corvettes in comparison. They change directions quickly and are easy to maneuver. The tanks also have armor in the game which serves as vehicle equivalent of health points. Instead of 1-hit kills like in War Thunder, here you need to chip your armor’s opponent down to zero for rooting them out.
In War Thunder, there is an accurate drop-off because of gravity which makes it easy to aim. However, hitting the target accurately can be incredibly difficult. There is no predictable accuracy in World of Tanks. For encouraging close-range combat, this game features a circle around the crosshair that indicates where your round might go. The longer you aim, the smaller the circle becomes. However, there is no way you can be 100% certain of where your shot will go.
War Thunder would be a great option for you if you are a fan of tough yet rewarding gameplay. If you want to indulge in a skill-based tank fighter game, then you should consider playing World of Tanks.
Initially, War Thunder was better at graphics. However, over the years World of Tanks has given War Thunder a run for its money. Its incredible visual style makes it a lot more appealing. Ultimately, it is your personal preference as to what appeals to you the most. World of Tanks is more like an arcade-like action and feels slightly cartoonish when it comes to animations and their design.
World of Tanks is essentially a tank-themed arena deathmatch. This is the reason why the maps are designed to allow teams to quickly meet. On the other hand, the maps in War Thunder are much larger as they account for the speed of airplanes. The map sizes have been a topic of discussion in the War Thunder community as players have been complaining that the focus on aerial combat leaves them with a subpar experience.
War Thunder lets you enter the cockpit of a fighter or tank and start taking over your enemies. The different tank and plane models differ significantly. You can choose any model you are comfortable with. On contrary, World of Tanks is based on a progression model. The lower tier where new players start the game seems more like a nightmare. The power curve is unforgiving and the difference in skill of new and advanced players is quite significant.
It is not often you would come across a community that hates the developer as much as the War Thunder community despises its makers. The team is not welcome to criticism and has sued YouTubers for sharing content that criticizes them. It has also blacklisted players from official forums for reporting bugs in the game. The customer service team is also not one of the best. The developers of World of Tanks on the other hand do put in efforts to address the concerns of the players.

A UAV with a variable sweep wing has the potential to perform a perched landing on the ground by achieving high pitch rates to take advantage of dynamic stall. This study focuses on the generation and evaluation of a trajectory to perform a perched landing on the ground using a non-linear constraint optimiser (Interior Point OPTimizer) and a Deep Q-Network (DQN). The trajectory is generated using a numerical model that characterises the dynamics of a UAV with a variable sweep wing which was developed through wind tunnel testing. The trajectories generated by a DQN have been compared with those produced by non-linear constraint optimisation in simulation and flown on the UAV to evaluate performance. The results show that a DQN generates trajectories with a lower cost function and have the potential to generate trajectories from a range of starting conditions (on average generating a trajectory takes 174 milliseconds). The trajectories generated performed a rapid pitch up before the landing site is reached, to reduce the airspeed (on average less than 0.5m/s just above the landing site) without generating an increase in altitude, and then the nose dropped just before hitting the ground to allow the aircraft to be recovered without damaging the tail. The trajectories generated by a DQN produced a final airspeed (when it hit the ground) of 3.25m/s (with a standard deviation of 0.97m/s) in the downward direction, which would allow the aircraft to be safely recovered and significantly less than a traditional landing (∼ 10m/s).

Khuda Hafiz actress Aahana Kumra goes backless in the new poolside pictures
and she is too hot to handle. While in another post, she is seen jumping in
the pool by flaunting her se*y various bikini looks. Aahana Kumra always
teases the fans with her hot look and never fails to impress them with her fit
toned body. Now, she is setting fire on the internet with these hot posts.
Aahana Kumra took to her Instagram handle to share her se*y bikini looks. In
the picture, the actress is showing her backless look as she is sitting at a
poolside and sporting a hot black tied bikini. The actress also posted a hot
video clip of her. In this, we can see she is jumping in the pool by wearing
various bikinis and she is enjoying the pool time to the fullest. She wrote
the caption for her first post in the Hindi as “रिम झिम , रूम झुम, भीगी भीगी
ऋत में, तुम हम हम तुम।।”.
On the work front, Aahana Kumra was last performed in the Eros now production
film ‘Bawri Chhori’. In this, she played the character of Radhika. The actress
will be seen playing a pivotal role in Shamshera. This film is led by Ranbir
Kapoor and Vaani Kapoor, bankrolled by Yash Raj Film and helmed by Karan
Malhotra. Initially, the film has been slated to release on 25 June 2021.
However, it can be postponed due to pandemic situations.


There is no doubt that the COVID-19 Pandemic has been the greatest disruption for the education sector throughout history affecting more than 1.2 billion students in over 190 countries and leading to a sudden ubiquitous shift towards the use of online learning.
The pandemic has brought along much uncertainty and changes to the higher education sector that could be long-lasting and that may reshape higher education forever. It has acted as catalyst to faster and more impactful transformations within the sector; placing pressure on universities to re-visit their value proposition and re-invent themselves to ensure they remain agile and relevant to a very dynamic landscape.
Many have predicted that the “new normal” will encompass the emergence of new business models for the sector, wider investment in online learning and a greater adoption of technology. Pedagogy is projected to be more blended than ever; new ways of student engagement will continue to be explored and more creative assessment will be adopted.
Big data may become more crucial than ever to deliver a personalized student centric learning experience. The use of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology may witness a wider adoption. Universities will need to digitalise to survive while addressing aspects of accessibility and equity.


Colour plus depth map based stereoscopic video has attracted significant attention in the last 10 years, as it can reduce storage and bandwidth requirements for the transmission of stereoscopic content over wireless channels such as mobile networks. However, quality assessment of coded 3D video sequence can currently be performed reliably using expensive and inconvenient subjective tests . The main goal of many subjective video quality metrics is to automatically estimate average user or viewer opinion on a quality of video processed by the system. However, measurement of subjective video quality can also be challenging because it may require a trained expert to judge it. Many subjective video quality measurements are described in ITUT recommendation BT.500. Their main idea is the same as in Mean Opinion Score for video sequences which are showed to the group of viewers and then their opinion is recorded and averaged to evaluate the quality of each video sequence. Optimization of 3D video systems in a timely manner is very important, it is therefore necessary that reliable subjective measures are calculated based on statistical analysis. This paper investigates subjective assessment for four standard 3D video sequences. Subjective tests are performed to verify the 3D video quality and depth perception of a range of differently coded video sequences, with packet loss rates ranging from 0% to 20%. The subjective quality results are used to determine more accurately the objective quality assessment metrics for 3D video sequences such as the Average PSNR, Structural similarities (SSIM), Mean Square Error (MSE) etc.The proposed measure of 3D perception and 3D quality of experience (QoE) is shown to correlate well with human perception of quality on a publicly available dataset of 3D videos and human subjective scores. The proposed measure extracts statistical features from depth and 3D videos to predict the human perception and 3D QoE.

NMR Structure of a Bifunctional Rhodamine Labeled N-Domain of Troponin C Complexed with the Regulatory "Switch" Peptide from Troponin I: Implications for in Situ Fluorescence Studies in Muscle FibersMercier, P., Ferguson, R.E., Irving, M., Corrie, J.E.T., Trentham, D.R., Sykes, B.D.

The structure of the calcium-saturated regulatory domain of skeletal troponin C (sNTnC) complexed with the switch peptide comprising residues 115-131 of troponin I (TnI), and with a bifunctional rhodamine fluorescent label attached to residues 56 (E5 ...
The structure of the calcium-saturated regulatory domain of skeletal troponin C (sNTnC) complexed with the switch peptide comprising residues 115-131 of troponin I (TnI), and with a bifunctional rhodamine fluorescent label attached to residues 56 (E56C) and 63 (E63C) on the C helix of sNTnC, has been determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The structure shows that the integrity of the C helix is not altered by the E(56,63)C mutations or by the presence of the bifunctional rhodamine and that the label does not interact with the hydrophobic cleft of sNTnC. Moreover, the overall fold of the protein and the position of the TnI peptide are similar to those observed previously with related cardiac NTnC complexes with residues 147-163 of cardiac TnI [Li et al. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 8289-8298] and including the drug bepridil [Wang et al. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 31124-31133]. The degree of opening of the structure is reduced as compared to that of calcium-saturated sNTnC in the absence of the switch peptide [Gagné et al. (1995) Nat. Struct. Biol. 2, 784-789]. The switch peptide is bound in a shallow and complementary hydrophobic surface cleft largely defined by helices A and B and also has key ionic interactions with sNTnC. These results show that bifunctional rhodamine probes can be attached to surface helices via suitable pairs of solvent-accessible residues that have been mutated to cysteines, without altering the conformation of the labeled domain. A set of such probes can be used to determine the orientation and motion of the target domain in the cellular environment [Corrie et al. (1999) Nature 400, 425-430; Ferguson et al. (2003) Mol. Cell 11(4), in press].

The Peruvian government should act to prevent the unlawful use of lethal force by security forces during crowd-control operations, Human Rights Watch said today in a letter to President Ollanta Humala. Fifteen civilians were killed during protests, allegedly by security forces, in the first year of Humala’s presidency.
A Human Rights Watch investigation into one of the most recent cases – involving the shooting deaths of four civilians during a protest in Celendín, Cajamarca in July 2012 – found evidence that strongly suggests that the deaths resulted from the unlawful use of lethal force by the security forces.
Human Rights Watch also expressed concern that a bill awaiting a final vote in Congress would authorize the use of lethal force in situations not permitted under international law.
“When violence erupts during public protests, the authorities have an obligation to reestablish order, but they need to fully respect the rights of protesters and bystanders alike,” said José Miguel Vivanco, Americas director at Human Rights Watch. “It can be a very tough job, but there’s no excuse for not doing it right. The police should be given the tools and training they need to protect themselves and others from violence, and they should be held accountable when they use unlawful violence themselves.”
On July 3, four civilians were shot dead and 16 wounded by gunfire in Celendín when police and soldiers sought to disperse demonstrators protesting against a gold mining project that would affect their water supply. The demonstration, which began peacefully, turned violent when a group of demonstrators tried to force their way into the city hall. The Interior Ministry announced in a news release that two police officers and a soldier guarding the building suffered bullet wounds in the legs. According to local news reports, protesters also threw stones and fired homemade rockets at security forces.
Under international norms, the use of firearms against the protesters would have been permissible only if those using them reasonably believed they needed to do so to protect themselves or others from serious injury or death.
Evidence gathered by Human Rights Watch strongly suggests that the security forces were not facing an imminent threat at the time the fatal shots were fired. According to multiple witnesses, as well as hospital records, the shooting of the civilians occurred more than an hour after the police officers and soldier had allegedly been shot. Residents who witnessed two of the fatal shootings of civilians reported that the victims were standing on the street passively observing events when they were shot.
The soldiers were deployed in large numbers after police lost control of the situation in Celendín, in large part because they ran out of teargas, the top police commander in Cajamarca told Human Rights Watch. The Humala administration recently announced plans to purchase US$10 million worth of protective equipment and non-lethal weaponry for the police.
“In addition to the proper equipment, the government should provide its security forces with clear and appropriate rules on the proper use of force, and leave no doubt that anyone who breaks these rules will be held fully accountable,” Vivanco said.
Human Rights Watch also raised concerns regarding the use of the armed forces in crowd-control operations. Military involvement in policing activities is regulated by Decree 1095, which was adopted in 2010 by García during his presidency. Decree 1095 expands the use of military jurisdiction over “illicit activity” by military personnel, and couldbe used to prevent civilian courts from trying cases of human rights violations against civilians by the military.
The Peruvian Congress recently granted President Humala temporary authority to legislate on a wide range of issues related to the role, structure, and functions of the police and armed forces, including specifically to reform Decree 1095.
Based on its findings in Celendín, as well as extensive interviews with senior government officials, Human Rights Watch identified key measures that Peruvian authorities should take to prevent further misuse of lethal force. These include:
- Investigating thoroughly all killings of protesters and bystanders and appropriately sanctioning any security force members found to have used unlawful force;
- Providing security force members involved in crowd-control operations with adequate equipment, training, and guidelines on the proper use of force;
- Modifying the proposed legislation that would authorize the use of force in violation of international norms and would guarantee immunity for unlawful killings by police;
- Amending Decree 1095 to ensure that military personnel accused of committing human rights violations against civilians be investigated and tried by civilian authorities.

Carly Pearce is one of many newer country music artists who embraces the traditional country sound. She regularly gives nods to the greats that blazed trails for her and other young musicians. Additionally, Carly is an animal lover. Recently, those two things combined when she named her newest furbaby after her fellow Kentucky native and country icon Loretta Lynn.
According to iHeart Country, Carly Pearce recently added ‘Retta Lynn, a chocolate lab pup to her furry family. The new addition isn’t Carly’s only pet to carry the name of a country legend, though. In fact, she named all of her pets after greats. Before adding ‘Retta to the pack, Pearce had a pair of dogs named Johnny and June after country’s most iconic couple. Additionally, she had a cat named Emmylou, after Emmylou Harris. Now, she has four animals who carry the names of the genre’s greats.
Carly Pearce opened up about the new addition to her furry family in a statement. “’Retta Lynn is a little chocolate lab that my parents found,” she explained. She went on to say that she felt an immediate connection to her new pooch. “If you know about my journey, I had a childhood dog named Ginger, and I swear to you, this dog looks like Ginger reincarnated,” Pearce said. “We are all convinced that Ginger sent her. So, she had to join the family.”
Carly Pearce may have fallen immediately in love with ‘Retta Lynn, but June wasn’t so sure at first. “June, my little puppy didn’t really love ‘Retta Lynn at first. She’s like, ‘No, I don’t know about you.” Luckily, though, June warmed up to her new packmate. Now, Carly said, they’re best friends. “So, now we have just like a big ol’ Grand Ole Opry family.
This Isn’t the First Time Carly Pearce Paid Tribute to Loretta Lynn
Naming her beautiful new pooch after Loretta Lynn was sweet. However, this isn’t the first time that Carly Pearce has paid tribute to the Coal Miner’s Daughter. Pearce added a song called “Dear Miss Loretta” to her critically-acclaimed 2021 album 29: Written in Stone.
In the song, Carly Pearce talks about how Loretta Lynn’s music helped her get through her divorce from Michael Ray. The pain that she felt from the major loss gave her a new perspective on the music that Lynn made over the years. Lines like “I’m a long way from Kentucky / But the hurtin’s the same. / Now I know why you sang that way,” drive home the message and emotion of the song.
Last summer, Outsider took part in a press event with Carly Pearce. During the Q&A session, she revealed one of her biggest career goals. “I just really want to be a staple. I want ot be a household name. Like when you say Dolly and Loretta… I want you to say Carly and people know.”

It is no secret that the ginger is one of the healthiest spices. It gives a very special taste to our foods, but it also prevents many diseases, or even cures them. Most of the time we use store-bought ginger, but it’s good to know that you can actually grow ginger at home, and the process is not as difficult as you would think.
Being a tropical plant, ginger likes shade, warmth and high moisture. It also prefers the soil to be constantly wet, but it can’t live in stagnant water. Also, it can’t survive in the cold.
If you decide to grow ginger, the best solution is to get the rhizomes from someone who already grows ginger. Rhizomes, bulbs that already have small roots on them, are the most perfect for planting.
If you buy ginger from the store, make sure that you buy ripe, full, fresh bulbs. You should soak them in water for a night to get rid of pesticides the ginger might have been treated with. You should plant the bulb into a wide pot, as ginger grows horizontally. The soil has to have good drainage, and it should be rich in nutrients.
It is recommended to plant the ginger late in the winter or early in the spring. It likes sunny spots, but it shouldn’t be kept in glaring sun. Instead, you should keep it in a warm, draft-free corner. When you water your ginger, you should use a spray bottle to water the soil directly, and later threat the plant the same way, in order to provide conditions similar to the natural habitat of the plant in the tropics. In a few weeks after planting, the first sprouts will appear.
Four months after planting, you can harvest the first fresh ginger roots. Cut these off and then cover the rest of the roots again with soil. If you care for your ginger properly, it will grow new bulbs permanently.

When the coronavirus pandemic put a halt to nearly all travel, Anwar Ali was forced to store a fleet of cars he rents out through car-sharing platform Turo in an unused gym in Kauai, Hawaii.
Now, his company, Ali’i Rental Cars, is booked solid for the month and has a waitlist. And that’s even after adding 20 cars to his fleet, as travel demand rebounded and tourists discovered traditional auto rental places were booked solid.
In the Atlanta and Chicago area, car-share hosts have similar stories. Tatiana Pisarski, a Turo host in Atlanta, said she has rental requests two to three times a week. This year’s bookings are more than the last three years…

Watch tutorials, webinars and informative videos about PreSens optical sensor systems.
PreSens' Featured System for Oxygen Profiling in Semi-Solid Samples
The Microx 4 is a completely stand-alone, portable fiber optic oxygen meter. It can be used with non-invasive sensors & probes (1 mm fiber), and oxygen microsensors (200 µm fiber) in different designs. This oxygen meter is compatible with the wide range of sensors type PSt7 (detection limit 15 ppb, 0 – 100 % oxygen). With its integrated barcode reader the Microx 4 can easily recognize and assign calibration data to sensors in just one scan. The implemented sensor management system allows storing data of up to 100 sensors. Microx 4 has 16 GB internal memory which allows prolonged computer-independent operation. It is delivered with the PreSens Datamanager software: sensor, user and measurement data is easily transferred between the PC and the oxygen meter. The data management and easy data export will facilitate and speed up your analysis.
The PM-PSt7 is one of the most robust oxygen microsensor PreSens offers – with a firmer fiber construction and a splash-proof metal housing. It is specifically designed for profiling applications and should be used whenever minimal invasive measurements need to be performed in semi-solid samples, e. g. in sediments, microbial mats or biofilms. The PM-PSt7 is compatible with the Microx 4 and OXY-1 / -4 ST series oxygen meters and has a measurement range of 0 – 100 % oxygen, with a detection limit of 0.03 % oxygen. Together with the Automated Micromanipulator and the software PreSens Profiling Studio boundary layers and gradients can be followed online, while the sensor is automatically moved inside the sample.
The Manual Micromanipulator MM is specifically designed for PreSens needle-type microsensors (NTH). The system allows moving the microsensor vibration-free in 3 axes with µm reading accuracy. A solid base plate ensures a stable set-up of the micromanipulator and enables safely tilting the whole system up to 90° - so you can use it in any required position. With the safe-insert function the microsensor retracted in its steel needle can be securely inserted into your area of interest. The sensor tip can then be extended delicately and safely with µm reading accuracy, without risk of breaking the sensor fiber.

A retired Canadian pro football star criminally flagged for paying more than $200,000 to have someone pose as his two sons and take their college-entrance tests will appear in a federal courtroom Friday as prosecutors continue to wend their way through dozens of exam-scam defendants.
David Sidoo, 59, of Vancouver, Canada, a British Columbia Sports Hall of Famer turned tycoon, was arrested in California earlier this month after his secret March 5 indictment in Massachusetts for mail and wire fraud.
He is expected to make his initial appearance Friday afternoon before U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Boal. He could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Sidoo is one of 50 people arrested and 13 already under indictment for what U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said Tuesday is “the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice.” The nationwide scandal has so far implicated 33 wealthy parents accused of collectively shelling out $25 million in bribes to buy their children’s admissions into some of the country’s most elite institutions of higher learning — among them, Academy Award-nominated actress Felicity Huffman. Huffman has been ordered to appear in Boston on March 29.
According to his previously sealed and still partially redacted indictment, Sidoo paid more than $200,000 to an unnamed individual or individuals to have someone pose as his two sons and take their SATs.
Sidoo’s older son was admitted to private Chapman University in California in 2012 after one individual created phony IDs from copies of a driver’s license and student identification card Sidoo allegedly emailed him. An individual also substituted for the older son at his Canadian high school graduation exam, the indictment states.
The younger son was accepted to the University of California, Berkeley, in 2014 after his father allegedly agreed to repeat the same process on his behalf for the same price, plus $5,000 to cover international travel expenses on behalf of his two boys’ educations, prosecutors allege.
Last October, one of the unnamed individuals called Sidoo from Boston. Sidoo mentioned that his older son was now interested in applying to business school, according to the indictment.
Sidoo played free safety for six years in the Canadian Football League for the BC Lions — the team former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie would later sign with — and the Saskatchewan Roughriders before retiring in 1988 and reinventing himself as a highly successful entrepreneur in the industries of petroleum and financial management.
