We demonstrated the intensity enhancement of a single high-order harmonic at a wavelength of 37.67 nm using the lowly ionized antimony laser-ablation plume. The conversion efficiency of this harmonic was 2.5×10-5 and the output energy was 0.3 μJ. Such an enhancement of single-harmonic was caused by the multiphoton resonance with the strong radiative transition of the Sb II ions. The cutoff energy of the harmonics generated in Sb plasma was 86 eV (55th harmonic).

The emission of the high-order harmonics generated during the interaction between the intense laser pulse and nonlinear medium possessed both a good beam quality and ultrashort pulse duration radiation source in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft x-ray regions. During last fifteen years the high-order harmonic generation (HHG) process [1, 2],improvement of the conversion efficiency , and extension of cutoff energy  have been achieved.
The demonstration of the HHG applications such as the control of electron dynamic in molecules , nonlinear optical phenomena in the XUV region , the photoelectron spectroscopy  and ultrafast dynamics of multiphoton-induced photoelectron emission has recently been reported.
It is obvious that, for the application of the HHG emission, it is important to increase the conversion efficiency of this process. In the past, the conversion efficiency enhancement of the HHG has been demonstrated by controlling the phase-matching condition in a gas-filled capillary  or gas cell . The strongest output energies of harmonics of 7 μJ for the 11th harmonic at the wavelength of 72.7 nm, 4.7μJ for the 13th harmonic at the wavelength of 62.3 nm, and 1μJ for the 15th harmonic at the wavelength of 54 nm were achieved using the xenon gas-cell . Recently, it has been demonstrated that the orthogonal polarized two-color field (fundamental and second harmonic) in helium gas also gives a rise of the conversion efficiency .
An alternative approach for the enhancement of the conversion efficiency is the resonance enhancement of the HHG. The resonance enhancement of the 13th and 15th harmonics has been demonstrated using the argon gas medium . However the harmonics spectrum have not been directly measured using the x-ray spectrometer in previous research. Since the demonstration of the 63rd harmonic generation using the lowly excited, lowly ionized boron plasma at the wavelength of 12.6 nm , the single HHG enhancement at the wavelength of 61.2 nm have been observed in the indium laser-ablation plume for the first time . Then the single HHG enhancement at the wavelength of 46.76 nm has been observed using the tin laser-ablation plume . The conversion efficiencies of these harmonics were estimated to be about 10-4. Such high conversion efficiencies of harmonics were attributed to the multiphoton resonance with strong radiative transitions of In II and Sn II in the laser-ablation plume. Further achievements in single harmonic enhancement were recently demonstrated by controlling the chirp of the pumping laser pulse in Refs.  and , where the 29th, 27th, and 21st harmonics generated from the GaAs, Cr, and InSb plumes considerably exceeded the neighboring harmonics.
In this paper, we present the first observation, to our best knowledge, of a strong enhancement of the single harmonic at the wavelength of 37.67 nm using the antimony laser-ablation plume. The intensity of the 21st harmonic at the wavelength of 37.67 nm was 10 times higher than that of the 23rd and the 19th harmonics. The output energy of this harmonic is measured to be 0.3 μJ. The origin of this enhancement is attributed to the resonance with the strong radiative transitions of the Sb II ions. The maximum cutoff wavelength of the harmonics generated from the antimony plasma was 14.45 nm (photon energy: 85.8 eV, cutoff order: 55th).
2. Experimental setup
The schematic of the experimental setup is shown in Fig. 1. The pump laser was a commercial, chirped pulse amplification laser system (Spectra Physics: TAS-10F), whose output was further amplified using a homemade three-pass amplifier at a 10 Hz repetition. The pre-pulse was split from a portion of amplified laser beam by a beam splitter before the pulse compressor. The prepulse energy was 12 mJ with pulse duration of 210 ps. The main pump pulse output at a center wavelength of 795 nm was 12 mJ with pulse duration of 150 fs. The prepulse was focused in a vacuum chamber onto a target surface by a cylindrical lens and produced a laser-ablation plume consisting of the neutrals and lowly charged ions. The line focus size on the target surface was 100 μm × 3 mm and the intensity of pre-pulse was varied between 0.95×1010 W cm-2 to 1.6×1010 W cm-2. Antimony and silver were used as the targets in this experiment. The main pulse was focused into the ablation plume by a spherical 200 mm focal length lens 100 ns after the prepulse irradiation. The intensity of the main pulse inside the plasma plume was 2.5×1015 W cm-2. The generated high-order harmonics were measured by a grazing incidence spectrometer with a gold-coated Hitach 1200 grooves/mm grating. A gold-coated grazing incidence cylindrical mirror was used for the image translation from the target surface to the detector plane. The XUV spectrum was detected using a multichannel plate with a phosphor screen (Hamamatsu, model F2813-22P), and the optical output from the phosphor screen was recorded using a CCD camera (Hamamatsu model C4880).
3. Results and discussion
Figure 2 shows the typical HHG spectra from the antimony and silver laser-ablation plumes at the wavelength of 10 - 30 nm. The spectrum of the femtosecond radiation propagated through the antimony plasma shows high-order harmonics up to the 55th order at the cutoff wavelength of 14.45 nm. The conversion efficiency of the 55th harmonic was measured to be 2×10-7, while the harmonic efficiency in the range of 15th to 27th harmonics was estimated to be 1.2×10-6.The details of the absolute conversion efficiency calibration of the spectrometer were described in Ref. .Using the silver laser-ablation plasma, we observed the same (55th) cutoff harmonic.
Figure 3 shows the HHG spectrum from the antimony laser-ablation plume at the wavelengths of 33 - 60 nm. A strong 21st harmonic at the wavelength of 37.67 nm was obtained. The intensity of the 21st harmonic was 10 times higher than those of the 23rd and 19th harmonics. The conversion efficiency of the 21st harmonic was measured to be 2.5×10-5, and thus the pulse energy of the 37.67 nm radiation of 0.3 μJ was obtained from the pump laser energy of 12 mJ. By changing the pump laser polarization from the linear polarization to the circular one using a quarter-wave plate, the 37.67 nm radiation completely disappeared. This tendency is consistent with that of HHG, which allows concluding that the strong emission at the wavelength of 37.67 nm is generated through the HHG.
In our previous works, the single harmonic enhancement using the indium and tin plumes has been observed. Using the indium laser-ablation, the enhancement of the 13th harmonic at the wavelength of 61.26 nm has been obtained . The 4d105s2 1S0-4d95s25p (2D) 1P1 transition of In II at the wavelength of 62.2 nm, which have an oscillator strength (gf value) of 1.11, can be driven into the resonance with the 13th harmonic by the AC-Stark shift. The gf value of this transition is 10 times higher compared with the other transitions of In II in this spectral range. By changing the laser wavelength from 795 nm to 778 nm, the wavelength of the 13th harmonic was shifted away from this transition, and the intensity of the 13th harmonic considerably decreased. Therefore the enhancement of the 13th harmonic of the 795 nm radiation was explained as being in the resonance with this transition driven by the AC Stark shift. For tin laser-ablation plume, we attributed the intensity enhancement of the 17th harmonic at the wavelength of 46.76 nm due to the resonance with the 4d105s25p2P3/2-4d95s25p2 (1D) 2D5/2 transition at the wavelength of 47.256 nm .
To investigate the mechanism of the 21st harmonic enhancement using antimony plume, the central wavelength of the laser pulse was tuned in the range from 797 nm to 783 nm. Figure 4 shows the intensities of the 19th, the 21st, and the 23rd harmonics as the functions of the pump laser wavelength. By changing the laser wavelength from the longer wavelength side (797 nm) to the shorter one, the intensity of the 21st harmonic initially gradually increased and then abruptly decreased. The highest intensity of the 21st harmonics was observed at 791 nm. At the same time, the intensities of the 19th and the 23rd harmonics remained almost the same at the wavelength of 795-783 nm. In the past work, the strong Sb II transitions of 4d105s22p3P2- 4d95s25p3(2D)3D3 and 4d105s22p1D2-4d95s25p3(2D)3F3 at the wavelengths of 37.82 nm and 37.55 nm, respectively, have been reported and analyzed . The gf values of 4d105s22p3P2- 4d95s25p3(2D)3D3 and 4d105s22p1D2-4d95s25p3(2D)3F3 transitions have been calculated to be 1.36 and 1.63, respectively, which was 6 to 7 times higher than those of the neighbor transitions. The enhancement of the 21st harmonic of the 791 nm radiation was highest in our studies, although the 21st harmonic (λ = 37.67 nm) was slightly away from the 4d105s22p3P2-4d95s25p3(2D)3D3 transition (λ = 37.82 nm). In this case the enhancement of 21st harmonic was due to the resonance with the 4d105s22p3P2-4d95s25p3(2D)3D3 transition driven by the AC Stark shift. By changing the pump laser wavelength from 791 to 788 nm, the intensity of the 21st harmonic gradually decreased because this harmonic becomes away from the 4d105s22p3P2-4d95s25p3(2D)3D3 transition. However the enhancement of the 21st harmonic of the 785 nm radiation was higher than that of 788 nm radiation. The reason of this intensity enhancement was attributed to the resonance with the 4d105s22p1D2-4d95s25p3(2D)3F3 transition driven by the AC Stark shift. Further decrease of the 21st harmonic wavelength led to the mismatching with the above transitions. As a result, the intensity of the 21st harmonic pumped by the wavelength of 783 nm was considerably lower.
One of the options for varying the harmonic distribution in the plateau region is the tuning of the spectrum of driving laser radiation, which was demonstrated for harmonic enhancement in this work, as well as our previous work [13, 14]. Another approach to tune the harmonic wavelength without changing the driving laser spectrum is a control of the chirp of the fundamental radiation, which was varied by adjusting the distance between the gratings in the pulse compressor [19, 20]. This technique allows to carry out an express analysis of the availability of the resonance conditions between the harmonic wavelength and the appropriate ionic transitions of the media under investigation. Using such an approach, a strong 21st harmonic radiation (37.8 nm) for chirp-free driving radiation was observed in the case of the InSb plume . It was found that, in the case of positively chirped 140 fs pulses, the intensity of the 21st harmonic of the 793 nm laser radiation exceeded that of the neighboring ones by a factor of 20. This enhancement of the single harmonic belonging to the mid-plateau region considerably diminished in the case of negatively chirped pulses.
In present work, the enhancement in intensity of the single harmonic belonging to the mid-plateau region was smaller compared with the enhancement in the intensity of the 13th harmonic generated from indium plume reported in our previous study . The latter harmonic belongs to the beginning of the plateau distribution in the case of harmonic generation from indium plasma. The intensity enhancement of the 13th harmonic (×200) generated from indium plasma considerably exceeded that for the 21st (×10) harmonic generated from the antimony plasma. The reason of such a difference is perhaps related with the difference in oscillator strengths of the transitions involved
In conclusion, we observed the enhancement of the 21st harmonic by using the antimony laserablation plume as a nonlinear medium. The energy of this harmonic was measured to be 0.3 μJ, and the conversion efficiency was 2.5×10-5. The intensity of this harmonic 10 times exceeded those of the 23rd and the 19th harmonics. The maximum cutoff wavelength of the HHG using antimony laser-ablation plume was 14.45 nm (photon energy: 86 eV). Such an approach can pave the way toward a considerable enhancement of a single harmonic in the short-wavelength range using the appropriate target materials.

For its eighteenth season, HELL’S KITCHEN returns with a new twist: pitting veteran contestants against rookies. For the first time in HELL’S KITCHEN history, eight accomplished chefs who have competed in previous seasons – and lost – will be brought back for a shot at redemption. But these veterans will need to go up against eight ambitious rookies who are equally eager to show Chef Ramsay they have what it takes to be the next HELL’S KITCHEN winner.
Each week, the chefs will be put through rigorous culinary challenges. But only those who possess the right combination of ingredients will continue in the competition, until one is named winner. At stake is a life-changing grand prize: a Head Chef position at the world’s first Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen Restaurant at Caesars Palace Las Vegas and $250,000.

One of the controversial areas of 5G development is millimeter wave. In Europe, this means frequencies such as 26 GHz and 35 GHz and in the US it’s 28 GHz and 39 GHz. These very high frequencies have very little penetrating power and so are often condemned as being of little use. A signal can easily be blocked by a wall.
Millimeter wave is attractive because the high frequencies are so unused there are a lot of them available and that means more bandwidth and in turn more throughput.
Strictly, any frequency under 30 GHz is more than a centimeter in length, so you could argue that it’s not properly a millimeter wavelength. The usual riposte to this is that one centimeter is ten millimeters so it counts. Arguing that in that case, 10 kHz is 30 million millimeters will just get you labeled at a pedant until you agree that “millimeter wave” means a very high frequency typically over 20 GHz, and everyone goes to the pub.
Down at the Maxwell’s Arms, the discussions will continue around how useful millimeter wave might be. My interest was piqued by a comment last week by Philip Marnick, group director, Spectrum at Ofcom that “26GHz is in its infancy, I have no doubt it will work but it will take time.” I sought out more information. Marnick pretty much decides what is done with radio spectrum in the U.K. and very influential in setting global policy, so having some that important air a different view to the usual “Well, millimeter is next to useless,” I looked to find someone who had actually used it.
That’s not hard because the 5G which has been rolled out by Verizon in the U.S. is at 28GHz and 39GHz. One such company is Inseego, which no-one I’ve asked has ever heard of, until I’ve said “They used to be Novatel Wireless,” and then everyone knows them. Novatel’s claim to fame is the MiFi product, a Wi-Fi hotspot that uses mobile connectivity for backhaul to connect back to the internet. All smartphones can be a hotspot but there are times when a dedicated solution works better and MiFi is close to being a generic term for the devices akin to Tannoy, Hoover or Kleenex. Indeed in India the word “Nokia” meaning mobile phone, even if it’s a Samsung.
Inseego is a useful company to ask about this, since it makes a kit relied upon by spooks as well as the mass market MiFi, which it sells through Verizon, so has real hands-on experience.
Dan Mondor, Inseego’s CEO tells me that Inseego has been surprised at just how well the millimetre wave MiFi has worked. “Even using it in a car, we have seen real-world performance has far exceeded what we expected.” He conceded that, in buildings, it doesn’t go through walls but says that when using line-of-sight it gets through the windows without losing throughput.
So what matters to make millimeter wave work is infrastructure. Inseego’s CMO Ashish Sharma adds: “If you can blanket the coverage this technology works really well.” But what’s really surprising is that it works in a car. This is after all a mobile technology. That’s down to MIMO, the technology which uses Multiple Input Multiple Output where you have large quantities of antennas, something like 30 or 40 of them. Sharma describes the throughput as “bouncy,” but giving a reliable 100Mbps and up to 2Gbs.
Launching the millimeter wave in the U.K. will take a while. Most of the interest in 5G here is in mid-band, at around 3 GHz and 5 GHz, but it’s worth remembering that it wasn’t so long ago that those frequencies were considered ludicrously high, and only suitable for point to point so it can’t be that long in the future, with improvements in transmitter and receiver sensitivity, that millimeter wave will become normal.

Though it isn’t the 30 pages that I promised Diva, here is an excerpt from my travel diary:
The air in Chilecito was crisp and we walked around the town checking in and asking about various things: where to eat, where to look for property, where to buy artesanias, what we could visit and how. I’m not big on visiting things and I was very happy to just chill out and join Juan and Lysa as they explored the neighborhoods looking at plots of land. We walked up and down the streets, until we came to a very cheerful looking Cemetery. Lisa was a bit worried about living right by the cemetery because of the spirits. “You shouldn’t worry so much about the spirits from the cemetery,” I said, “It’s the spirits from outside the cemetery that you should watch out for” I joked.
The cemetery was kitschy: no graves, only tombs painted all kinds of colors with brass ornaments and other gaudy accouterments. In the center of the cemetery is a completely unnecessary overlarge 40 foot cross. As I explored the place, looking for photo opportunities, I heard voices of visiting relatives. I felt strange taking pictures of peoples’ intimate things. I tried to avoid the visitors because I imagined I might be a little worried if I saw someone taking a picture of my mother’s grave. It gave me a weird feeling to gawk at the finery of the dead, especially as I was taking my photos ironically. As it was, the disembodied voices were always just around the corner, but never “caught me in the act”.
Far in the back was a bent cast iron gate, a thing out of place in this garish world of pink houses. Through the gate, I could see only a wasteland of rocks and dirt, which I found out later was an ancient incan burial ground. From where we stood it looked desolate, as if the tombs were beautiful shops in which the spirits work and at night they go home to the slums in which they really live. Or perhaps there are neighborhoods of spirits and we are in the nice rich neighborhood, looking out at the wasteland of poverty like a twisted mirror of the world of the living.
“This place is dead,” Lysa half jokes, and she and Juan start leaving through the central path. I follow a bit behind and as I reach the central cross I find three young women standing by it. They cannot be more than 18 years old.
“I can’t check out the 18 year old girls in a cemetery.” I think. “That’s just wrong.”
As I approach I lower my eyes respectfully. And with the look of the Recoleta cemetary’s cats they wait for me, watching my every movement with interest lazy. Just as I pass, one says, “Chau” in a seductive voice. “Chau” I mumble as I stumble off. I had the most distinct impression that these maidens of the cemetery were just that, and I walked away without looking back.

After a quiet resumption of trading Wednesday the U.S. stock market got off to a fast start Thursday, as investors embraced a pair of improved reports on the job market.
Payroll processing firm ADP reported stronger private sector employment growth than expected for October, recording an increase of 158,000 jobs. While the ADP report is an imperfect precursor to Friday's government jobs report, there is some hope that a new structure -- the company is now working with a methodology from Moody's Analytics -- will make the reading a better harbinger for the nonfarm payrolls figure, expected to come in this month around 120,000.
Employment numbers were also better on a weekly basis, with initial claims for unemployment benefits down by 9,000 to 363,000. Friday's jobs report from the Labor Department is the last before Tuesday's presidential election, and may be one of the last political footballs of the campaign between the Romney and Obama camps. (See "Friday Jobs Report Preview.")
The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 142 points Thursday morning, to 13,239, while the S&P 500 was 13 points higher at 1,425. The Nasdaq rallied 35 points to 3,012 after taking the worst loss of the trio Wednesday.
Sirius XM Radio was an early winner, up 4.3% after reporting strong subscriber growth that pushed revenue above expectations in the third quarter, a rarity this earnings season with many companies booking disappointing sales figures.
Despite the broader gains, some of the morning's biggest newsmakers were in negative territory. Ford Motor, which said Chief Executive Alan Mulally will stay in his role through 2014, was down 1.3%. The company also promoted Americas President Mark Fields, widely-regarded as a likely successor, to chief operating officer.
Pfizer slipped 1.4% after reporting third-quarter earnings. The New York-based pharmaceutical giant delayed its release from earlier this week as the East Coast was battered by Hurricane Sandy. Pfizer narrowed its forecast for the year after matching Q3 estimates with a 14% decline in net income.
Exxon Mobil was also lower, but fought back to break-even, after recording a decline in quarterly profit to $9.6 billion. Earnings per share were better than expected though, and the oil and gas giant said its refinery unit booked a 78% jump in profit.
Netflix was a loser as well, surrendering a chunk of the previous day's gain and falling 5.3%. That gain came after billionaire Carl Icahn disclosed a stake in the video service.
Some of the disaster recovery plays that caught investor interest Wednesday were backing up a bit, including Generac Holdings. The generator manufacturer was 1.3% lower after a huge rally in the prior session, while Home Depot and Lowe's padded their gains.

Zebra stripes not for camouflage protection against predators
New York: Canadian researchers have challenged the longstanding hypothesis of zebra striping being some type of camouflage protection against predators.
According to a study, stripes cannot be involved in allowing the zebras to blend in with the background of their environment or in making an outline of the zebra.
It is because the predators probably can hear or smell their zebra prey from the point from which they could see its stripes, the findings revealed.
“We carried out a series of calculations through which we were able to estimate the distances at which lions and spotted hyenas, as well as zebras, can see zebra stripes under daylight, twilight, or during a moonless night,” said Amanda Melin, an assistant professor at the University of Calgary in Canada.
Stripes that can be seen by humans are hard for zebra predators to distinguish beyond 50 metres in daylight or 30 metres at twilight, during which most predators hunt, the findings showed.
On moonless nights, the stripes are particularly difficult for all species to distinguish beyond nine metres, suggesting that the stripes do not provide camouflage in woodland areas, as theorised in earlier, the researchers elicited.
In open, treeless habitats, where zebras tend to spend most of their time, lions can see the outline of striped zebras just as easily as they could see similar-sized, prey with fairly solid-coloured hides, such as waterbuck, the study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, showed.
To test the hypothesis that stripes camouflage the zebras against the backdrop of their natural environment, the researchers passed digital images taken in the field in Tanzania through spatial and colour filters that simulated how the zebras would appear to their main predators — lions and spotted hyenas — as well as to other zebras.
They also measured the stripes’ widths and light contrast, or luminance, in order to estimate the maximum distance from which lions, spotted hyenas and zebras could detect stripes, using information about these animals’ visual capabilities.

UK Championship 2016: Jamie Curtis-Barrett keen to succeed after tournament 'buzz'
|Betway UK Championship|
|Venue: York Barbican Dates: 22 November to 4 December|
|Coverage: Watch live on BBC TV, Connected TV, Red Button, BBC Sport website and app from Saturday, 26 November. TV times and channels|
Jamie Curtis-Barrett says the "incredible buzz" of playing in the UK Championship has made him even more determined to succeed as a professional.
The world number 118, who is in the first year of a two-year tour card, lost 6-3 to Joe Perry in the first round at the York Barbican on Thursday.
But the Grimsby potter told BBC Sport he did not feel out of his depth against the world number nine.
"I loved it. Playing on the main tables at a big tournament with loads of travelling support was fantastic," the 32-year-old said.
"He played well but I didn't think I deserved to be 4-0 down at the break. The interval came at the right time otherwise I think I could have lost 6-0.
"I didn't feel nervous before but I struggled to settle until I got a frame on the board. Joe said I had him on the ropes at 4-3.
"But there is no shame in losing to Joe; he is a great player and a class act."
Perry added: "I raced into a 4-0 lead, it was quite comfortable really and then I played a couple of loose shots, my concentration was poor and he got a bit of a head of steam going.
"He played well to be fair, I don't think I scored many points from 4-0 to 4-3. I missed a couple, but he shut me out a bit, started to play some good stuff and look really comfortable out there."
Curtis-Barrett only started playing top-level snooker following the death of his wife in March this year.
He had dozens of fans in York and is determined to make the most of every aspect of his snooker career.
"My supporters loved it as much as I did," Curtis-Barrett said. "Maybe they were a bit rowdy but they have seen what I have been through and just wanted to back me as much as they could.
"I am just looking forward. I loved playing in that environment. I was always on the back foot but it was great. There is so much to relish being out there and I did not feel out of my depth."

By I.J. Parnham
A Black Horse Western from Hale, April 2011
When Mayor Maxwell and his daughter are brutally murdered, feelings in Bear Creek run high. Even when the killer is caught and sentenced to life in prison, the townsfolk demand a lynching. So sheriff Bryce calls in Nathaniel McBain to spirit the killer away through Devil’s Canyon to Beaver Ridge jail.
At first, Nathaniel manages to stay one step ahead of the pursuing mob; but as he loses ground, he realizes he faces an even bigger problem: his prisoner may be innocent after all….
A dark secret about what really happened is buried in Devil’s Canyon. Will Nathaniel be able to uncover the truth before the mob reaches him?
I.J. Parnham presents the reader with a book that starts off like a straight-forward storyline but with the introduction of more and more characters, such as the bone-hunter Jim Dragon and his enemy Pierre Dulaine, and Emily Chambers who is searching for her missing father, all of whom seem to be involved in different threads to the story, it isn’t long before the plot throws up twist after twist that makes this book impossible to put down until the reader discovers how everything is resolved.
It’s the plots twists and turns that make I.J. Parnham’s books so appealing to me. Every time I think I know what is going on, what will happen next, Ian throws in another twist to completely throw me off track. Descriptions are kept to a minimum, just enough to allow the reader to visualise what the people, landscapes, and towns look like. Ian tells his story’s at a fast pace, uses believable dialogue, and ties everything up neatly by the end.
The Secret of Devil’s Canyon is a very entertaining read that, once more, leaves me looking forward to his next BHW. This book is available now from the usual Internet sources.

Shah Rukh has been offered multiple scripts including the Rakesh Sharma biopic that Aamir Khan opted out of.
However, reports says that Shah Rukh Khan has finalized his next film and it will be Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 3’.
‘Don 3’ is third instalement of ‘Don’ franchise.
Farhan too has always said that ‘Don 3’ was definitely happening, but that he wasn’t sure about when.
So it is indeed a splendid development if reports are to be believed, considering the massive popularity of the first two installments.
Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy shooting for Aanand L. Rai’s ‘Zero’ which also stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
It looks like after finishing this comedy, he will get back to his popular ‘Don’ franchise.
Farhan Akhtar will be reportedly helming the third installment.
Last year, Ritesh Sidhwani had confirmed that they will make an official announcement on ‘Don 3’ this year.
Farhan had said, “We are thinking about Don 3 and we are thinking very hard on it. We have found the right idea, it’s being written now. We will make an official announcement soon.”–CINEWS

Remember waaay back to Monday, when some crazy physicist suggested that our entire universe could be a simulation created by our evolutionary descendents to study us, sort of like a Sim Jurassic Park but for grandpas? Turns out Dr. Bostrom was close: we live in a video game.
Calculating that the average life spans about 80 years, he divided that time up for adults 35 and older into nearly a million half hours, and assigned each 30 minute period to be 1 microlife. Each microlife is about one millionth of life expectancy after age 35. He then assessed how unhealthy eating habits would impact a person’s total microlives.
If you, Average Human, start out with 1,401,600 microlives that begin ticking down immediately at your spawn point, then you can slow this down or even regain microlives by, say, eating a salad a day or exercising. Meanwhile, smoking will take away 10 microlives for every pack smoked.
Even gender affects your microlife count. Women regain 4 microlives a day compared to men, which explains why men are more affected by our mid-live crises: we’re desperately seeking a savepoint.
New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that, despite the city’s best efforts, you just can’t kill off a New Yorker infestation. “Babies born in New York City in 2009 can expect to live on average 80.6 years, roughly 2-1/2 years more than the most recently reported national rate of 78.2 years,” the mayor told members of the press, ruefully shaking his head.
It was hoped that, by shortening human lifespans, this research would lead to a cure for the city’s bed bug problem — a plan that animal rights activists hailed as a fun exercise in role reversal. Alas, all of the Mayor Bloomberg’s initiatives, “including bans on public smoking and the use of trans-fats in restaurants,” have only resulted in more New Yorkers living longer neurotic lives.
“If you want to live longer and healthier than the average American, then come to New York City,” the mayor said before distributing cyanide capsules and pistols to his staff. “Me? I want off this merry-go-round, and I’ll do the same for anyone else.”

Cyber threats have become an increasingly significant concern for businesses operating in the financial sector, including CPA firms. These threats are not only disruptive but also have the potential to compromise sensitive financial information.
CPA firms need to be acutely aware of the evolving cyber threat landscape, as failing to address these risks can lead to financial and reputational consequences. This article will delve into the current cyber threat landscape and explore how these threats affect CPA firms.
We will also discuss strategies for establishing robust cybersecurity defenses to protect sensitive data and maintain compliance with industry standards.
The plethora of cyber threats facing accounting firms highlights that CPA firms are increasingly appealing to malicious actors in the digital realm.
First, some cybercriminals see accounting firms as easy targets. One of the reasons CPA firms are enticing targets for cybercriminals is their relatively low priority when it comes to cybersecurity awareness; like other industries, accounting firms do not always place a strong emphasis on cybersecurity.
This lack of focus on security measures and training leaves them vulnerable to cyberattacks. Cybercriminals often seek out organizations with access to financial data who may have weak or insufficient cybersecurity defenses because they are easier to breach. Hackers can access sensitive information and networks by exploiting these security gaps or employee negligence.
In addition, CPA firms operate in data-rich environments. Accountants handle client financial data as part of their daily operations. This includes confidential client financial information, tax records, and other sensitive data. The very nature of their work makes them attractive targets for cybercriminals.
Financial data is highly valuable on the black market, and cyber criminals constantly seek opportunities to steal, manipulate, or exploit this information. The potential for financial gain is a strong motivator for attackers. Moreover, the vast amount of financial data stored and processed by CPA firms provides multiple entry points for malicious actors seeking to compromise these organizations.
Overall, the lure of targeting accounting agencies is due to many firms being at the unfortunate confluence of holding high-value data but with comparatively few cyber protections for that data. A lack of cybersecurity measures paired with the wealth of sensitive financial data they possess make these firms attractive prey for cybercriminals.
Therefore, it is imperative that CPA firms recognize these vulnerabilities and take proactive measures to bolster their cybersecurity stature and protect the valuable data they handle.
Cyber Threat Landscape
The current cyber threat landscape for Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firms is rapidly evolving with threats that pose significant risks to these organizations. Here, we will explore in greater detail some of the prominent threats affecting CPA firms:
Cybercriminals increasingly employ tactics to manipulate communication channels to deceive employees into transferring funds to fraudulent accounts. This attack often involves social engineering techniques that exploit human trust and communication.
Fraudsters may impersonate trusted clients or organizations, leading to financial losses when funds are sent to unauthorized accounts. These attacks have the potential to be financially damaging and can harm the reputation of CPA firms.
In recent years, there has been a substantial surge in ransomware attacks targeting accounting firms. Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts a firm's data, and a ransom is demanded in exchange for the decryption key.
This increase in ransomware attacks has profoundly impacted the cost of cyber insurance for CPA firms. As these attacks have become costlier, insurers have had to adjust their policies to account for the financial repercussions of ransom payments.
Even so, any organization dealing with sensitive data like accounting firms should strongly consider cyber insurance as a financial safety net. Paying some now for preparedness can be a saving grace compared with paying everything in the event of a data breach, and that's where cyber insurance comes in. Unfortunately, many organizations don't realize how much they need it until their operations are paralyzed by a ransomware strike.
Cybercriminals are now leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance their attacks. Analytical AI is used to identify vulnerabilities in networks, software, or human behavior. Even relatively accessible generative AI like the popular GPT 3.0 engine of ChatGPT makes social engineering tactics, such as deceiving employees through phishing attacks, more sophisticated.
ChatGPT can be employed for social engineering, standardizing the voice and method of communication to aid in deception. This poses a significant challenge for CPA firms as they must contend with increasingly convincing phishing techniques.
Cybercriminals engage in digital extortion by intercepting and exfiltrating compromising or essential information. This means they seize sensitive data and threaten to release or misuse it, sometimes for a ransom akin to ransomware.
Data extraction attacks can result in substantial financial gain for an attacker. With their access to vast amounts of confidential client data, CPA firms are especially appealing targets for these attacks.
The cost-benefit calculus of cybersecurity reveals that investing in digital protection now is less costly than the usual losses incurred in ransomware-style exfiltration. So, what are the best ways to operate amidst this digital threat landscape?
First, abide by Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) 4 Tips to Secure your Business for Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October. One of the main tenets is to ensure that employees recognize and report phishing. The social-engineering aspect of phishing and AI-driven scams makes this especially important - a little situational awareness can go a long way.
Consider also that poor password hygiene is a major contributor to giving malicious actors an easier time compromising confidential data. CISA recognizes that strong passwords and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are two pillars of cybersecurity that they recommend businesses use. Don't make your adversaries' efforts any easier and implement stronger passwords and best practices. Go a step further and use Single Sign-On or next-gen solutions to frustrate even complex digital thieves.
Finally, maintaining compliance with industry standards for accounting has the double benefit of increasing security while also saving the headache of correcting non-compliance. The recent passage of FTC Safeguards is a major step up in data security standards, so ensuring compliance and addressing areas of non-compliance can substantially bolster your firm's security stature. The simplest way to get started in meeting both Safeguards and CISA recommendations is to keep your software and systems up to date!
The current cyber threat landscape poses risks to CPA firms. Ransomware attacks, wire fraud, AI-driven exploitation, and data extraction incidents are rising, making cybersecurity an urgent priority. To protect sensitive data, uphold their reputations, and ensure the effectiveness of cyber insurance, CPA firms must recognize the evolving threats and take proactive steps to bolster their defenses. Adhering to CISA's four pillars of security and maintaining compliance will also be critical in safeguarding their operations.
By recognizing the importance of cybersecurity and taking proactive steps to mitigate risks, CPA firms can protect sensitive information and avoid potential financial losses.

Paul McCartney discusses John Lennon and new documentary
The Beatles were obsessed with Elvis Presley growing up. And when they met The King in LA back in 1965 they were speechless. But did you John Lennon’s least favourite Beatles song is one he says was a knock off of one of The King’s records?
During his iconic Rolling Stone interview, Lennon revealed he didn’t like Run For Your Life from The Beatles’ 1965 album Rubber Soul.
The singer-songwriter said: “It was a song I just knocked off.
“It was inspired from – this is a very vague connection – from Baby Let’s Play House.
“There was a line on it – I used to like specific lines from songs – ‘I’d rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man’.”
John Lennon’s least favourite Beatles song – ‘I knocked off Elvis Presley’
Lennon added: “So I wrote it around that but I didn’t think it was that important.
“‘Girl’ I liked because I was, in a way, trying to say something or other about Christianity which I was opposed to at the time.”
While Lennon wasn’t keen on Run For You Life, he did one reveal his favourite Beatles songs and album.
The late star was a big fan of 1968’s The White Album.

Lennon made the reveal in a 1971 interview about the break up of The Beatles a year earlier.
But his quotes didn’t see the light of day until they featured in a 1984 issue of Penthouse – four years after his murder.
The Beatle claimed Paul didn’t like The White Album as he “wanted it to be more a group thing, which really means more Paul. So he never liked that album.”
But Lennon admitted it was his favourite of the 12, adding: “I always preferred it to all the other albums, including Pepper, because I thought the music was better. The Pepper myth is bigger, but the music on the White Album is far superior, I think.”

While his favourite songs were also revealed in the Rolling Stone interview.
Lennon said: “I always liked [I Am The] Walrus, Strawberry Fields, Help!, In My Life. Those are some favourites, y’know.”
A surprised interviewer Jann Wenner asked why he included Help! among his favourites.
The musician replied: “Because I meant it, it’s real."
He added: “The lyric is as good now as it was then, it’s no different, you know.
“It makes me feel secure to know that I was that sensible or whatever – well, not sensible, but aware of myself. That’s with no acid, no nothing… well pot or whatever.
“It was just me singing ‘help’ and I meant it, you know. I don’t like the recording that much, the song I like. We did it too fast to try and be commercial.”
Lennon also highlighted I Want To Hold Your Hand, Strawberry Fields and Across The Universe.

FRA (3-2) and BGA (1-3-2) faced off in an intense district game in Division II-A Soccer. This game was great to watch if you love defense as both teams we held to zero goals in the first half.
However, it would be FRA who played a better second half and secured the 2-1 victory.
“They were awesome tonight,” said FRA coach Ryan McDonald. “What I liked the most is that we battled. I like that about those teams who like to be blue collar, and I’m glad we got the win tonight.”
After a scoreless first half, both teams we’re looking for something to kickstart scoring, and both teams got that from their players in the final 40 minutes of the game.
BGA started the scoring in the second half.
The Wildcats sent a ball over the top of the Panther defense, and Clark Coco capitalized on the chance and hit it right past the opposing goalkeeper to give BGA a one-goal lead. Coco has been dealing with injury issues the entire season, but managed to give his team a boost offensively.
“He’s been injured the whole season,” said BGA coach John Millard. “We’re trying to manage it the best we can. We are obviously a much better team when he is on the field. He makes us better, and that’s what we need. We’ve got players that make us better, and he’s one of them.”
The Wildcat lead lasted up until the 60th minute as a slide tackle in the BGA box gave FRA a chance to tie the game.
Gonzalo de Gracia guessed correctly and got the ball past the BGA goalie to tie the game at 1.
The last 20 minutes of the game were very fun to watch from the spectator’s point of view. Both sides threw everything they had at each other’s defense in order to try and break the tie.
The last goal for FRA didn’t come until the 79th minute just before the final whistle blew.
It would be de Gracia again for the Panthers who scored the goal to give his side the win after dribbling past the BGA defenders and around the goalie.
“I just think that over the duration of the game there were moments when we weren’t stepping to the ball,” said Millard. “Those small things matter, and that’s one of the things we told the guys, too. Whether it’s a 50/50 ball that’s getting served in the box, and you’re stepping to attack it and be first, and their second goal happened to come off that exact moment. They wanted it more. They stepped in and take it and all of a sudden, we’re in trouble.”
BGA had a couple of chances in the last minute or so, but nothing would fall for them.
FRA gets their second district win of the season with this victory as they move into the fourth spot in the district.
“We all agreed on it that our first half was probably one of our worst halves of the year,” said McDonald. “We asked the guys how they think they did, and they were honest with themselves. They thought that they weren’t very good, and they turned it around so credit to them.”
BGA will be moving on after this game to play against Independence away from home next Friday.
While BGA has yet to get its first district win of the year at 2-3-2, they are still optimistic after the way this district game ended.
“We were a totally different team than the team that was against CPA,” said Millard. “Just them understanding that and taking away from this game that it wasn’t the result we wanted, but there were moments in the game where we had good ideas. We just need to be a little more technical on connecting some passes, we need to step to the ball to win it and we just need those moments to be multiplied so that we get a better result.”
FRA will be playing Providence Christian Academy next Tuesday. The Panthers will be hoping they can keep this momentum going as they get into their district schedule.
“It’s actually been great,” said McDonald. “We’ve gotten to get some training sessions in, since it’s been a fast start. So it’s been nice to get some training sessions in to work on some things, and they’ve responded really well, which is great."

WipEout Omega Collection
The Wipeout franchise has been one of Sony’s most respected franchises for 20 years. Beginning in late 1995, it stood out from F-Zero by providing more intense futuristic racing action than the F-Zero series on Nintendo’s consoles. Its use of weapons blended in action with racing and its blister pace kept you on your toes from the beginning to the end of each outing on the futuristic circuits. The PS1-era games were classics, with the third entry leading to a shift in developers – but arguably having the best graphics of the bunch. The PS2-era games saw a reduction in the sheer amount of games, but the overall quality was still high. When the PSP hit the scene, the series was put back in the spotlight with two incredible entries that led to the foundation of Wipeout HD on the PS3 years later. After HD, we got the Fury expansion and then the final entry in the series to date in Wipeout 2048 on the Vita.
However, with half a decade transpiring between then and now, the franchise’s future has been in limbo. Wipeout Omega Collection is put in a tough spot of both celebrating the franchise while also being a possible lynchpin for its resurrection. If it does well, then it shows that there is interest in the series and with Sony going all-out and giving this a full retail release, it is being given every reasonable chance to succeed. The core content of the collection brings Wipeout HD, Fury, and Wipeout 2048 to the PS4 with the former getting an increase to 4K support on the PS4 Pro, up from the PS3’s default of 1080 and the latter going from a rather meager 540p to 4K as well. Photo mode is included for every game and allows you to show off some gorgeous action while flexing your photography muscles at the same time.
Each included game was worth its original asking price – so getting them in one collection is an outstanding value, and the Wipeout formula has held up nicely with age. Its UI could stand to be changed up a bit though. While you can change the in-game HUDs around, the menu system remains a bit clunky. It’s both easy to navigate and a chore to see due to how small the icons are and how small the text is – so you definitely will want to stick to playing on larger TVs to fully enjoy the action. All three games will require fast reflexes too – so don’t even think about playing them drowsy or at the end of a long day.
For a franchise that was ahead of the curve when it came to organic sponsorships in gaming, it’s rather fitting that Red Bull would be put in it because a caffeinated boost can definitely help you out a bit. Each game is predicated on fast turns, motion blur (which you can thankfully turn off), and being able to avoid last-minute weapon shots from enemies. Smaller things like the machine gun can slow you down, while the shockwave can stop you in your tracks and the missiles can take you out temporarily. One great thing is that if you get a dud weapon, you can just convert it into energy to use to absorb damage – meaning that even something that is theoretically bad could become good when you truly need it.
The pulsating trance and rave soundtrack furthers the intensity by providing music that stood out a lot at the time, and remained something that was used throughout the series. While many games tried to evoke Wipeout, few could truly succeed because they didn’t have a vision – and Wipeout had that and oozed style at the same time. The quick pace makes every game included a blast, and there’s a fair amount of mode variety on display. Basics like time trials and races give way to weapon-less races that test skill, while eliminator races test how much better you are than the competition. With those, a weapon shot at the wrong time can either keep you in the running or take you out depending on if you’re giving or receiving the damage.
The Wipeout series has always had twitchy controls, and if you want that, it can be retained here. However, the Omega Collection also gives you some driving assists, which are an absolute must for those who loved the series before but whose reflexes have dulled a bit with time. They provide just enough help to keep you on-track without breaking the game. Given how much can go on at any one time, between enemies, weapons, and sharp turns, it’s good to have some advantage when you can get it. The ability to customize the button mapping is much appreciated and makes this an easy game to play for. HD, Fury, and 2048 all control like a dream here and you can’t blame bad controls for losing – especially for things like time trials, where you need to focus on the track to avoid hitting walls and properly hitting boosters.
Visually, the Omega Collection is jaw dropping. The increase in graphical fidelity takes HD and Fury from incredible to…slightly more incredible. It’s amazing how well those nine-year old games have held up, while 2048 was a marvel for the Vita, but it truly shines here. The vehicles, tracks, and various lighting and weapon effects all shine on the PS4 – with increased resolution and a rock-solid framerate. The overall visual style is slick, with HUDs popping and most in-game text during races being easy to read – even if the core menu system is a bit clunky. Every game in this collection is a feast for the eyes and ears.
The electronica soundtrack works perfectly for the fast action, and the violence of the action comes across great too. Every weapon shot sounds either weak but swift like with the machine gun, while powerful attacks sound visceral and disorienting. Playing this with a quality set of gaming headphones showcases the outstanding sound design – with it being clear where rivals are, or where enemy projectiles are coming from. This allows you to avoid some shots, so if you have a gaming headset or a quality setup for your home, use it here and you’ll be overjoyed.
The Wipeout Omega Collection is a must for anyone who has either loved the Wipeout franchise or heard about it, but never had a chance to see what the fuss was about. With three games included, there’s a lot of content here and all of it is fantastic. It’s a bit of a shame there isn’t content here beyond the games – like a museum or jukebox area, but it’s no big deal. Everything that needed to be put in here was, and small improvements in theory – like the driving assist – really do make it a more fun experience. It plays wonderfully, looks gorgeous, and sounds incredible. Anyone hoping for a return for the franchise should pick it up.

In some markets, consumers who want to get hands on an iPhone 6s can expect to pay about $1000 just to get their hands on the base model.
In India, for instance, the 16 GB version of Apple's smaller flagship officially arrived with a price tag of $935 (Rs 62,000). At the other end of the spectrum, an iPhone 6s Plus with 128 GB of storage could be had for a whopping $1390 (Rs 92,000).
The high barrier of entry seems to have been too much for many prospective buyers because Apple has just slashed the prices of its latest flagships by at least 10 per cent across the board in India. A price cut so soon after an iPhone launch - keep in mind, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus were officially announced in September - is unheard of.
According to The Times of India, the price of a base iPhone 6s has dropped by 11 to 16 per cent, now being sold, at major local retailers, for between Rs 52,000 ($785) and Rs 55,000 ($830) off-contract. That brings the local price closer to what consumers in other major markets can expect to pay (like Europe).
But, on Amazon for instance, an iPhone 6s with 16 GB of storage can now be had for less, as on the e-commerce site there's a major discount offered which brings the price down to an even more reasonable Rs 46,985 ($710). That brings the price closer to what consumers in US can expect to pay for the device - Apple sells the 16 GB iPhone 6s for $649 unlocked.
The Times of India reports that prior to this price cut, in November, shipments of the latest iPhones in India dropped by 62 per cent to 120,000 units compared to the previous month, when Apple moved 320,000 units. And, considering that everyone expects Q4 to be Apple's best quarter with regards to sales, you can see why the company wants to boost its sales number as much as possible before the end of the year.
Apple's latest flagships are not the only iPhones which saw a price cut in India, as the price of iPhone 5s has also been slashed three times in as many months. It can now be had for nearly half the price it commanded in September, says The Times of India. And, obviously, lower prices mean more consumers will be able to justify an upgrade.
Apple is under a lot of pressure to post higher year-over-year sales for Q4. In the last quarter of 2014, iPhones sold in record numbers - 71.4 million units to be exact.
In this part of the year, analysts expect sales between 70 and 75 million units, and, obviously, Apple wants to be closer to the latter number to reassure stockholders that its biggest money maker is doing fine. Its shares have dropped considerably this year, from $133 in February to $107 at the stock market's opening today.

Furthermore to its make use of like a color spice and agent, curcumin can be used in Ayurvedic and Chinese language medicine for a large number of years, and is well known because of its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties in the present day medicine. Curcumin can be a powerful inhibitor of NF-kappa B activation(7,8). Curcumin prevents the bloodstream brain hurdle dysfunction and it is a neuroprotective agent in ischemic heart stroke(9). Curcumin attenuates cells damage with endotoxemia(10), and in polymicrobial sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)(11). Reviews claim that curcumin modulates adhesion molecule manifestation (12,13) however the precise part of curcumin in modulation of cell adhesion in microcirculation in sepsis isn’t very well researched. Sepsis and septic surprise will be the leading factors behind loss of life in non-coronary extensive care units in america(14). Sepsis induced encephalopathy (SAE) only is been shown to be an unbiased predictor of mortality(15), but small is well known about pathophysiology of SAE. Many vascular and nonvascular mechanisms are recommended(16,17). We’ve demonstrated previously that Angiotensin II kinase inhibitor inside a laboratory style of murine sepsis induced by CLP, there’s a significant upsurge in leukocyte and platelet adhesion in the cerebral microcirculation followed by behavioral and bloodstream brain hurdle dysfunction(18,19). In today’s study, we examined the consequences of curcumin on cerebral microcirculation in mice with CLP to try and answer fully the question of how curcumin works for the circulating cell-endothelial cell relationships, blood-brain hurdle success and dysfunction. Material and Strategies Animals This research was authorized by the Institutional Pet Care and Make use of Committee (IACUC) from the Wake Forest College or university School of Medication, Winston-Salem and performed based on the requirements discussed in the Country wide Institutes of Wellness guidelines. C57Bl/6 man mice (n=5-7/group for every parameter and 5-7 weeks old) had been utilized. All mice had been bought from Jackson Laboratories (Club Harbor, Me personally). Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) CLP was utilized to induce sepsis, as previously referred to(18). Quickly, the animals had been anesthetized with intramuscular shot of ketamine hydrochloride (150 mg/kg) and xylazine (7.5mg/kg). Two-centimeter midline incision in the abdominal was produced; the cecum was isolated, ligated and perforated 3 x (upper firmly, middle and lower third) having a 20-measure needle. Utilizing a natural cotton swab, fecal material had been squeezed and pass on across the cecum. A particular precaution was taken up to ensure that intestinal blockage was not triggered. The abdominal incision was shut using two levels of sutures (peritoneum and pores and skin). Each mouse received 1 ml of normal saline subcutaneously for liquid resuscitation then. In the Sham-operated mice, the cecum was isolated, exteriorized and came back towards the abdominal cavity without punctures or ligation. The other methods had been identical towards the CLP mice. Intravital video microscopy (IVM) The cerebral microcirculation from the mice was noticed 4 h after CLP or Sham medical procedures using intravital fluorescent video microscopy. Initial experiments exposed no variations in the inflammatory reactions at 4 h versus 6 h pursuing CLP, therefore all subsequent tests had been performed utilizing a post- damage amount of 4 h. The mice had been anesthetized with ketamine hydrochloride (150 mg/kg i.m.) and xylazine (7.5mg/kg we.m.). Primary body’s temperature was taken care of at 35 0.5C. A tracheotomy was performed to facilitate mechanised ventilation of all mice with space atmosphere. The femoral arterial (to gain access to mean arterial blood circulation pressure monitoring and arterial bloodstream for bloodstream gas sampling) and femoral venous (for intravenous administration of ex-vivo tagged platelets, and acridine orange) cannulations had been performed. Head from the mouse was set inside a stereotaxic framework and the right parietal craniotomy was performed as previously referred to departing dura intact(18,20). A cover cup was positioned on the cranial home window. Artificial cerebrospinal liquid filled the area between your cranial home window as well as the cover cup. The animals had been then positioned on mechanised ventilator and permitted to stabilize for Angiotensin II kinase inhibitor 30 min ahead of observation of cerebral post-capillary venules (before penetration in to the cerebral cortex) under Angiotensin II kinase inhibitor an upright microscope. Circulating cell-endothelial cell relationships To be able to monitor the adhesive relationships between leukocytes/platelets and venular endothelium in the mouse mind, leukocytes had been tagged with Angiotensin II kinase inhibitor acridine orange (0.05% in 100 L of PBS),.

My Take on the Movie
Every one of us brings along baggage in our lives that shape us into who we are. This movie really explores the genesis of a song that has become so well known over the years and what really brought the writer into writing the song itself. The movie itself was both inspiring and moving and there were points in which you may find that there is something in your eye (just saying). While the movie was a Christian film, it was not overdone. The acting was strong and the plot worked well and the characters connected well together and with the audience. The movie brings out some powerful messages and allows you to see the both the power of forgiveness and the importance of dealing with the issues of your own past to bring you to a new future. This is a must see!

The Frontier School Board this week sent a message to the federal government, passing a resolution that urges an amendment to the Budget Control Act to mitigate drastic cuts to education in federal grant funds that could result in the loss of 20 Frontier teaching jobs and impact universal pre-kindergarten, special education programming and staff development.
The board adopted a resolution that targets the budget act of 2011, which calls for across-the-board cuts to nearly all federal programs, including education, that would take effect in January.
An administrative presentation to the board on the district-wide Before and After School Program for kindergarten through fifth-grade students showed Frontier is serving approximately 450 families districtwide. Increases in participation have been recorded this fall at Blasdell and Pinehurst Elementary schools.
The district also made $8,000 last year from the program, for which families are charged. The program, which runs from 6:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. to 5:45 p.m., has been in place for at least 10 years.

Juan Castrillón Named Inaugural Seldes Fellow
The fellowship is named in honor of the Annenberg School's founding dean, Gilbert Seldes.
Juan Castrillón, who completed his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania earlier this month, has been named the inaugural Gilbert Seldes Multimodal Postdoctoral Fellow at the Annenberg School for Communication.
The newly established fellowship is named in memory of Gilbert Seldes, Annenberg’s founding dean. A decidedly multimodal scholar, Seldes published books of cultural criticism, wrote magazine columns, adapted plays for Broadway, made documentary films, wrote radio scripts, and was CBS’s first director of television. Multimodal scholarship has been a core concept at Annenberg since Seldes' time, and the fellowship named in his honor seeks to support today’s multimodal scholars as they carve out space for themselves in academia and beyond.
“Theory and practice are inexorably linked, and we are committed to furthering the kinds of scholarship at Annenberg that engage with and benefit the public,” says Dean John L. Jackson, Jr. “We look forward to the ways Juan — and future Seldes fellows — will bring this commitment to life through their work.”
Castrillón’s research focuses on analytics of listening, world-building practices, and contemporary healing arts in Anatolia, Turkey; the Northwest Amazon in Colombia; and Philadelphia. He creates experimental ethnography as a performative response to contemporary debates in the academy. He uses filmmaking to develop a cinematic language that is respectful of Indigenous perspectives but also open to contemporary debates on gender and critical race theory.
“I am thrilled to contribute to the entire community of the Annenberg School with my energy and the work I do,” Castrillón says. “Receiving this fellowship makes me feel honored, and motivates me to keep building paths of collaboration with those who hear the call to think and to publish research through various modalities of inscription.”
As a Seldes Fellow, Castrillón will provide mentorship to the CAMRA undergraduate fellows program, collaborate with faculty and graduate students on multimodal projects, and continue his research about talismans in contemporary healing and media arts. His work theorizes that talismans thrive among those whose lives have been impacted by settler colonialism. While at Annenberg, he aims to produce peer-reviewed articles, short films, and to foster international collaboration between art-based research collectives.
Castrillón’s work has been published in academic journals, and exhibited at film festivals, art galleries, and academic conferences around the world. He is a CAMRA alumni, and an active member of the Center for Research and Collaboration in the Indigenous Americas, and the Substantial Motion Research Network. He received his Ph.D. in Music Studies with a certificate in Experimental Ethnography from the University of Pennsylvania and his B.A. in Anthropology from Universidad de Antioquia.
