text: Remembering fondly…After winding through the glorious fjords of Montenegro on Windstar Cruise’s lovely power yacht, Star Pride, we rounded one last turn and the Captain let out three long low blasts that signaled our arrival to the Island of the Madonna that guards the entrance to the port of Kotor. In a sweet ritual that has been reenacted every time a ship enters this dramatic harbor, then someone on the Island of the Madonna tolls its bells in response. Like two lovers calling to each other from afar. I find fascinating the world of sailing, the nautical world and all its rituals and superstitions. From raising the flag of each country we enter, even to the side of the ship that the flag is flown on, the Captain and his crew were eager to share the stories, handed down through centuries, of why they do what they do. When you go on a small-ship adventure like a #Windstar Cruise, you can dine with the Captain, chat with the crew and enjoy their “Open Bridge” policy. Or simply relax on deck, drink in hand, and soak up the sun along with the strange rituals of the sea.

The director of Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle, has confirmed that he’s directing the new James Bond movie, the last one with Daniel Craig as Agent 007.
The filming is scheduled to start at the end of the year.
“We’ve got an idea, John Hodge, the screenwriter, and I have got this idea, and John is writing it at the moment,” Boyle says, as Metro reports. “It all depends on how it turns out. It would be foolish of me to give any of it away.”
Boyle and Hodge worked together on Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, T2 Trainspotting, The Beach, and a few other projects.

Government curbs rail fare rises
type Press release
Patrick McLoughlin visits Birmingham New Street station to see upgrade work as fares freeze comes into effect.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin visited Birmingham New Street station today (2 January 2015) to see how the government’s record investment in the rail network is benefiting passengers.
The visit took place on the day the government’s latest freeze on rail fares came into effect. For the second year running, regulated fare rises have been capped at the rate of inflation (RPI) in order to support hard-working families and protect passengers from unnecessary fare hikes.
The Transport Secretary was given a tour of the £700 million station upgrade which is transforming the city station and shopping centre complex into a modern gateway to the West Midlands. The improvements will help boost economic growth by creating jobs and encouraging regeneration of the wider area.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said:
We are investing in the biggest rail modernisation since the Victorian era, and fares have a crucial role to play in funding these improvements. This is because building better infrastructure helps create jobs, building a stronger economy for us all.
The work at Birmingham New Street is truly impressive and will make a real difference to passengers when it completes later this year. As we invest in projects like this, it is important that we recognise passengers’ concerns about the cost of rail fares. This is why we have frozen them for the second year in a row.
In addition to freezing regulated fares at 2.5% in 2015, the government has also removed the train operators’ powers to increase individual fares by as much as 2% more. Operators have also been asked to improve the information passengers receive when buying a ticket.
Industry figures show that for every pound spent on fares, 97 pence goes back into the rail network in the form of track maintenance, improvement works, staff and train costs, while only 3 pence goes into train company profits.
[The passenger pound infographic.]
Investing in the UK’s railways is an important part of the government’s long term economic plan. Over the next 5 years, more than £38 billion will be spent on improving and maintaining the rail network across the country, giving passengers more seats, more services and better journeys. This includes the £1 billion northern improvement programme which will provide faster journeys and more trains between key northern cities and the Crossrail and Thameslink projects, which will increase London’s commuter capacity by 20%.
When completed in September 2015, Birmingham New Street will have larger waiting areas, a new ticket office, improved security and better passenger information. Accessibility will also be improved, with 15 new lifts, more than 30 new escalators and the station will be enclosed by a giant atrium allowing in natural light.
The adjoining Pallasades shopping centre is also being redeveloped, with a new John Lewis store creating up to 1,000 new jobs for Birmingham and boosting the local economy.
Rail investment 2014 to 2019
Over the next 5 years, £38 billion of investment will:
provide capacity for 170,000 extra peak-time seats
electrify more than 850 miles of railway, and improve more than 4,000 miles of track
transform hundreds of stations around the country including London Bridge, Manchester Victoria, Birmingham New Street and Glasgow Queen Street
close 500 level crossings to improve safety
provide faster journeys and more trains every day between key northern cities as part of the Northern hub
deliver a new electrified railway connecting Oxford with Bedford and Milton Keynes, as part of the east west rail project
increase central London’s commuter rail capacity by 20% through the completion of the Crossrail and Thameslink projects

Metformin (1,1-dimethylbiguanide hydrochloride) is a biguanide oral hypoglycaemic agent commonly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition to it's anti-diabetic effect, metformin has also been associated with a reduced risk of cancer incidence of a number of solid tumour including prostate cancer (PCa). However, the underlying biological mechanisms for these observations have not been fully characterised in PCa. One hypothesis is that the indirect insulin lowering effect may have an anti-neoplastic effect as elevated insulin and insulin like growth factor -1 (IGF-1) levels play a role in PCa development and progression. In addition, metformin is a potent activator of activated protein kinase (AMPK) which in turn inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and other signal transduction mechanisms . These direct effects can lead to reduced cell proliferation. Given its wide availability and tolerable side effect profile, metformin represents an attractive potential therapeutic option for men with PCa. Hence, the need for a clinical trial investigating its biological mechanisms in PCa.
METAL is a multi-centre, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, window of opportunity study investigating the biological mechanism of metformin in prostate cancer. 180 patients with newly-diagnosed, localised PCa scheduled for radical prostatectomy will be randomised 1:1 to receive metformin (1g bd) or placebo for four weeks (+/- 1 week) prior to prostatectomy. Tissue will be collected from both diagnostic biopsy and prostatectomy specimens. The primary endpoint is the difference in expression levels of markers of the FASN/AMPK pathway pre and post treatment between the placebo and metformin arms. Secondary endpoints include the difference in expression levels of indicators of proliferation (ki67 and TUNEL) pre and post treatment between the placebo and metformin arms. METAL is currently open to recruitment at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital and the Royal Marsden Hospital, London.

How Much Intelligence AI is adding to ordinary automation of consumer interfaces?
Bento Alves Costa Filho
Understood as the capacity a machine might have to imitate human behavior, Artificial Intelligence is entering everyone’s life through the way paved by previous automated consumer interfaces. Actually, the automation faced by consumers has come a long way since the first vending machines were launched at the end of the 19th Century, dispensing postcards, chewing gum, chocolate, and cigarettes. From that time on, in the 1920s, the first automatic system started permitting phone calls without the aid of operators; in the 1940s, automatic transmission in cars made driving much easier; in the 1960’s the first automated teller machines, vulgarly known by the acronym ATM allowed bank clients to make cash withdrawal without any help from bank clerks; in the 1980s interactive voice response started to “talk” with consumers in phone calls; and in the 1990s, the advent of the internet has brought to scene e-commerce, e-banking, e-service, e-anything exchangeable through a website. Coming to the 21st Century, the upsurge of the first smartphone in 2007 (iPhone) augmented by the app store phenomena, unlocked zillions of possibilities between the consumers and their objects of desire.
Therefore, establishing interfaces not mediated by human beings with brands and companies is not absolutely new for consumers. A great portion of them is used to screens and touchscreens of mobiles, tablets, notebooks, and gadgets in general when riding through their customer journeys to accomplish their interests. In this sense, artificial intelligence was introduced into consumer’s life backed up by the familiarity acquired with previous technologies.
Anyway, one could say that all the contributions AI is generating to consumers are worth despite all the hype around the issue. Some uses are easily perceived like humanoid “bots” (an acronym for “robot”) talking to people in website chats (chatbots), mobile phones, and other interfaces, activated by text or voice, supported by machine learning technology. Some cyber assistants are even becoming famous worldwide like Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and so on, answering questions, making shopping lists, turning on and off music devices, controlling home appliances, providing weather and traffic information, telling jokes, making people laugh. Also, AI is doing translations through natural language processing, playing games – and defeating world champions like Se-Dol Lee (Go, an ancient Asian board game), providing intelligence to cars, homes, appliances through the internet of things (IoT), helping people with safer interfaces through computer vision, just to mention a few examples.
It seems that consumers are enjoying the knowledge added to machines and automation AI is providing. However, there are situations in which AI might bring confusion and misunderstanding rather than catalyzing more intelligence to the interfaces. It might happen when someone is not familiar with nor prepared to or is unwilling to deal with AI interfaces or even perceive them useless. In those cases, special attention should be paid, because the adoption of an innovation might fail if that specific profile of person is not predisposed to the novelty considered (see Diffusion of Innovation by Everett Rogers), or the handling of the “gadget” is too complex or it is perceived as having no utility by potential adopters (see Technology Acceptance Model by Fred D.Davis Jr.). In short, who is adopting and what is being adopted should be the main concern when novelty is added to people’s life. AI should be aware of this or might run the risk of adding dumbness instead.

We’re pleased to bring you “While You Were Out”—the Verily editors’ quick takes on the happenings of this week.
Donald Trump Is Time’s ‘Person of the Year’
On Thursday, Time magazine announced its annual “Person of the Year” recipient. In no great surprise, Donald Trump was chosen. The other candidates who were narrowly eclipsed by Trump include Hillary Clinton, Beyoncé, “The Hackers,” and a few more. The decree has never been intended as an endorsement but rather a statement of influence and intrigue. Officially, Time says it chooses “the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill, and embodied what was important about the year, for better or for worse.” In 2016, no name was so ubiquitous as Trump’s, but what exactly makes our president-elect worthy of the title? For one, as Michael Scherer wrote for the cover story on stands now, “...[Trump] has upended the leadership of both major political parties and effectively shifted the political direction of the international order.”
The response to the announcement has been varied. Some have simply shrugged, and said, “saw that coming.” Others have been quick to remind people that Hitler was also named “Person of the Year” once, even claiming that Trump’s cover photo bares an intentional likeness to a Time cover of the Nazi leader. Regardless, Donald Trump was indeed a fixture in the popular culture this past year and will likely remain so in the years ahead. —Megan Madden
Grammy Nominations Announced
The nominations for this year’s Grammy awards were announced this week, promising an exciting night for the music award show airing in February. Among the hottest contenders are Beyoncé for her work on Lemonade, Adele for her work on 25, and Justin Bieber for Purpose. With musicians such as Sia and Twenty One Pilots thrown into the mix for some categories, this year’s competition looks like it is not one to be missed. Also there are some surprises, such as Kelly Clarkson’s American Idol version of her heart-wrenching song “Piece by Piece” contending for Best Pop Solo Performance against Adele’s “Hello,” Beyonce’s “Hold Up,” Bieber’s “Love Yourself”—um, suffice it to say this will be interesting to watch. —Mary Rose Somarriba
British Fashion Awards Had All the Big Names
The annual Fashion Awards were held by the British Fashion Council at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday, in which the world’s most celebrated models and designers come together on one special night. The event was bedazzled and sparking, thanks to its sponsorship by Swarovski. Gigi Hadid claimed International Model of the Year, and Ralph Lauren took home the Outstanding Achievement Award. British Vogue was also recognized for celebrating its 100-year anniversary. Despite the predominate focus on the star-studded fashion, the evening also happened to double as a kick-off for fundraising efforts towards the council’s Education Foundation. The EF, according to the New York Times, hopes to raise more than $12 million over the next ten years to provide design scholarships and supports apprenticeships. Whether the 2016 Fashion Awards was worthy of the label “Met Gala meets the Academy Awards” is still up for debate, but it was nonetheless a dazzling December night. —Mary Brodeur
Last Tango in Paris Rape Scene Gets New Scrutiny
Outcry renewed this week over an unethically filmed scene in the 1972 film Last Tango in Paris, after the Spanish nonprofit El Mundo de Alycia published a video interview clip with the film’s director Bernardo Bertolucci, saying a change to the script was made without the lead actress’s knowledge. Bertolucci said he “wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress. I wanted her to react humiliated.” Conversely he says he discussed the idea with Marlon Brando beforehand. In the scene Brando’s character uses butter as a lubricant before forcing himself on actress Maria Schneider. Schneider later revealed to the Daily Mail in 2007 that she indeed felt “humiliated” and “was crying real tears” in the scene due to her shock of going off-script. “To be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci ... I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can’t force someone to do something that isn’t in the script, but at the time, I didn’t know that.” The clip of the interview was posted on El Mundo de Alycia in recognition of the Elimination of Violence Against Women Day on Nov. 25. Schneider sadly died in 2011 of cancer. Here’s hoping her words resound more loudly today, so this doesn’t happen again. Because when it comes to watching someone suffering at the hands of others on film, if it’s not acting, it’s more likely a crime caught on film. —MRS
Outdoor Company Is Prioritizing Parents
One company is making things for working parents easier than ever before. Patagonia, the international outdoor retail company, is making sure that its employees can reasonably balance a career and family, which doesn’t always come so easy. The company, which has been around for thirty-three years, provides in-house child care for all of its employees. Head of human resources and insurance services at Patagonia, Dean Carter said, "There is this understanding that children are a part of life, and a part of work." The investment has clearly paid off for Patagonia: One hundred percent of moms return to work after maternity leave.
This comes as a refreshing option in a time when childcare costs are outrageous. But it seems that Patagonia may just be an exception. According to an NBC report, “On-site subsidized child care in the U.S. dropped from nine percent in 1996 to just two percent in 2016.” Both moms and dads are relieved knowing that their children are taken care of during the day, but also because they know they can balance having children with having a career. Jenna Johnson, a senior director at the company, said, “It allows me to excel in my job, but it also allows me to excel in my life, really.” Maybe this could become a trend for all companies, so parents are not forced to choose career or family. —Katie Faley
Hairstylists to Learn Signs of Domestic Violence in Clients
Last week the state of Illinois passed a new law that will push the fight against domestic violence to a new frontier. Advocated by the group Chicago Says No More, the law will require all licensed beauty professionals to receive training on domestic violence and sexual assault. The training is one hour and will be required every two years. This law is the first of its kind at the state legislature level in the United States. —Emily Mae Schmid
Katie Holmes Speaks Up on Motherhood & Directing
Katie Holmes opened up to the New York Times about her upcoming directorial debut and how the many women in her life have inspired her to use this movie as a way to showcase the resilience of women. Katie Holmes, who credits her three older sisters, mother, and daughter Suri, is not only taking on the role of director but also the main character. She plays Rita, a single mother struggling to raise her 15-year-old daughter in the midst of the 2008 financial crisis. While traveling east together, the mother-daughter duo dine and dash but are granted a second chance by the diner owner and his transgender niece. When asked how hard it was to both act and direct she described the opportunity as both intense and empowering. The actress joked, “Well, you don’t sit down—that’s for sure.” The star is no stranger to balancing multiple things at a time. She also dished on balancing motherhood and Hollywood. Holmes is the mother to 10-year-old daughter Suri, whose father is Tom Cruise. Katie strives to keep Suri’s life as normal as possible saying, “I try to make our world very much an environment that’s just all about being a kid without too much of Hollywood coming into that. And I just enjoy it.” She also hopes to empower Suri by teaching her lessons she learned from her own mother when she was growing up in Hollywood. She shared in her interview, “we gotta speak up and get what we want, because no one’s going to give it to us.” —KF
Amy Schumer Slams Fat Shamers Over Her Role as Barbie
After Variety announced last week that Amy Schumer is being considered as the star in Sony’s upcoming live-action Barbie film, the actress and comedian took to Instagram to denounce those “fat shaming” her.
“Is it fat shaming if you know you're not fat and have zero shame in your game? I don’t think so,” Schumer wrote in Tuesday’s post, which accompanied a picture of her in a bathing suit. “I am strong and proud of how I live my life and say what I mean and fight for what I believe in and I have a blast doing it with the people I love. Where's the shame? It's not there. It's an illusion. When I look in the mirror I know who I am.”
The two-time Grammy nominee explained that she is “honored” to be considered for the role of “an important evolving icon,” alluding to the changing standards of the typical “Barbie” body type. The film, which will be released in the summer of 2018, tells the story of a woman who embarks on a real-world adventure after getting kicked out of Barbieland for her “imperfect” body. “I want to thank them for making it so evident that I am a great choice,” she wrote, addressing her haters. “It's that kind of response that lets you know something's wrong with our culture and we all need to work together to change it.” —Deanna Rosa
Good News of the Week
Dr. Bhasker Patel happened to be on the right flight at the right time this past Sunday. On a Southwest Airlines flight heading from Philadelphia to Orlando, Dr. Patel, who practices internal medicine at Health First’s Palm Bay Hospital, delivered a baby boy to a woman who went into labor mid-flight. An emergency room physician, who also happened to be on the plane, assisted Dr. Patel in a safe delivery. The Southwest flight rerouted to South Carolina, where it was met by emergency medical technicians upon landing. “There are certain things where you don’t know why it happens,” Dr. Patel said. “It was meant to be where I was just going to be on this flight. I was happy that I could be of help.” —MB


"First introduced by the president of JVC on September 9, 1976, VHS (Video Home System) emerged as the winner of a battle for a consumer videotape format. Beating out Betamax and VX, VHS become the global standard in a watershed shift in the methods in which cinema was viewed, created, and curated.
No longer limited to viewing films at specific times on television or in theaters, with VHS audiences could choose how and when they would watch their favorite movies. VHS fostered the expansion of cinema into new aspects of daily life, resulting in an explosion of new cinematic genres and techniques, the video store, and an impressive increase in audiences.
While Hollywood film studios originally feared VHS, with head of the Motion Picture Association of America Jack Valenti famously testifying before congress, “The VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone,” they quickly embraced the large revenue stream created by the video rental market. This new source of funding also eventually supported the rise of the American independent film market, with small companies like Miramax and New Line Cinema transforming over time into major industry figures.
In celebration of this influential medium, the Museum of Arts and Design presents VHS, a three-month survey of the short-lived video revolution. VHS screenings include a wide array of VHS offerings, including rare genre films, bootleg rock concert videos, independent works by the likes of Todd Haynes, Troma Video, and Nam June Paik, live workout classes by Richard Simmons and Susan Powter, and lost public access gems. In honor of its VHS series, MAD has also recreated a video rental store within its walls. In its exploration of the mutliple facets of the format, VHS demonstrates the impact of this technology on the history of cinema."
VHS is organized by Jake Yuzna, Manager of Public Programs, with Matthew Desiderio and Rebecca Cleman.

Any help is appreciated
Disconnect all cabling from the monitor except the power. Does it still turn off?

2017 Toyota Camry could feature updated four-cylinder and a new PHEV engine globally; front fascia could feature a new sharper nose
The upcoming generation of the Toyota Camry flagship sedan has been spotted testing by a Carscoops reader. He said the train of cars comprised of Lexus LC500 at front, two disguised Camry sedans in the middle and a Toyota Prius at the tail. It is a known fact that the Japanese manufacturer is preparing the eighth generation Camry for markets outside its home.
Toyota was in the headline a few days ago when the successor to the existing model’s front fascia was revealed unintentionally following an Instagram post of the Toyota Camry race car for the next NASCAR season. The Camry racer’s pointed nose is more likely to feature in the production version because it does form the frontal portion of the latest generation Prius.
The other significant feature up front in 2017 Toyota Camry is a sharper headlamp unit which stands in line with the spotted test mule. The heavily cladded new generation Camry has the usual silhouette but it seems to be more streamlined with tapered shoulders and a newly styled rear end. Toyota could build the new Camry based on the lighter TNGA modular global architecture debuted in the existing Prius.
It is said to have better handling characteristics while being frugal. Sticking by the growing trend of powering the latest mid-size sedans with four-cylinder engines, Toyota could use a similar fuel-efficient powertrain. It will have an updated version of the 2.5-litre engine and a 2.0-litre turbocharged motor belonging to Lexus could be utilised in the range-topping variants.
This means the heavier 3.5-litre V6 engine could be replaced and additionally a petrol-hybrid drivetrain could embellish the lineup. Toyota will have to dig deep for making the Camry a big hit because the mid-size family sedan sales have dropped despite the brand running strongly as the second largest automaker in the world. In the US, the current Camry’s sales was down by 8.6 percent at 2,66,746 units while the RAV4 registered 15 percent surge with 2,30,942 examples. It could overtake Camry soon which is the brand’s best-selling model for over a decade.

On Oct. 22, during a radio interview with GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson, WABC’s Rita Cosby noted that the Ben Carson campaign had requested Secret Service protection. Carson has changed his tune substantially about the issue in only three days, having been quoted in an interview on Oct. 19 that he didn’t feel the need for such action.
In her interview, Cosby asked Carson about the alleged threats he has received.
Carson responded that he believes he is in danger because progressives see him as an “existential threat.”
“I’d prefer not to talk about security issues but I have recognized — and people have been telling me for many, many months — that I’m in great danger because I challenge the secular progressive movement to the very core.
“You know, they see me as an existential threat and I know that, but I also believe in the good lord and we take reasonable precautions.”
Cosby continued by questioning Carson on whether the “threats” were actually valid and serious.
“I Believe The Threats Are Serious,” Carson Responded. “They Wouldn’t Even Be Considering This If The Threats Were Not Serious.”
The Department of Homeland Security on Oct. 19 confirmed that Carson and Donald Trump have both requested Secret Service protection.
In a statement by Homeland Security’s Acting Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Todd Breasseale, stated:
“The Department of Homeland Security has now received official requests for Secret Service protection from both the Carson and Trump campaigns and has taken them under review pursuant to the statutorily required process.”
There are conflicting stories in the media regarding the status of Secret Service protection for the two. In a recent report from Fox News,their headline asserts that protection has already been activated for both Carson and Trump. However, an Oct. 21 report in the Washington Post states that neither candidate has Secret Service protection at this time.
Carson stated as recently as Oct. 19, that he didn’t “feel the need for it” but that the Secret Service thought he needed the additional protection, according to the report fromNBC:
“I don’t feel the need for it, quite frankly, but the Secret Service thinks that I need it. So, you know, it is what it is.
“I recognize that someone like me who is very truthful and who really doesn’t subscribe to all the traditional power scriptures is probably gonna be a target.”
Which is it, Mr. Wishy Washy? Who is leading Carson around by the nose? From his drastic change of opinion in such a short period of time, it appears that Mr. Carson is highly susceptible to the power of suggestion.
Trump has a much more basic reasoning as to why he has yet to receive Secret Service protection. He made the comment on Oct. 14 that his own protection had not been approved because he’s a Republican and “they don’t give a shit.” Perhaps Trump is just an asshole without a filter and has brought the hate all by himself.
Actually, obtaining protection from the Secret Service is a little more complicated than thinking you’re an existential threat or someone actually giving a shit about you. According to the Secret Service website’s FAQS, there is a process in place:
- A written request must first be submitted to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.
- The candidates must establish that they are serious and have some chance of becoming president.
- DHS will conduct a threat assessment to ascertain if there are legitimate potential dangers facing a candidate, not simply taking the candidate’s claims at face value. Threats are considered in tandem with other criteria.
- The next step involves a panel convened by Johnson to review the request. The group includes the speaker of the House, the House minority leader, both the Senate majority and minority leaders, plus an additional member selected by the Senate.
The final decision is made by Johnson, the DHS secretary. Whether or not he gives a shit, is yet to be seen.

An as-yet unexplained biological difference between blacks and whites may account for the bact that blacks are twice as likely to deliver babies with low birth weights.
A sweeping study of almost 30,000 births found that even when other factors were considered -- including smoking and alcohol use, level of education and age of the mother -- blacks were still much more likely to have low-birth-weight infants.
Those tiny infants, weighing less than 5 1/2 pounds, face a higher risk of death or severe health problems in their first few months.
The study was undertaken at Kaiser-Permenente health clinics in northern California and reported in the current Journal of the American Medical Association.
''The conclusion of the analysis is stunning in its simplicity,'' Dr. Wendy Baldwin of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development wrote in an editorial accompanying the study. ''Despite controls for likely pathways of influence on birth weight, and despite the bias of excluding the poorest segment of society (and the richest), the disparity between blacks and white endures.''
Other factors, including low income, make low-birth-weight delivery more likely, Baldwin said, stressing the importance of good prenatal care.
In the Kaiser study, headed by Patricia H. Shiono of the National Institutes of Health, 3.6 precent of the white infants were low-birth-weight, compared with 7.7 percent of the black infants. In both groups, national averages were higher: 5.6 percent for whites, 12.5 percent for blacks.
In her editorial, Baldwin said ''biological or genetic differences'' may be the key to understanding the disparity. ''However, our understanding of racial differentials is clearly in need of improvement."

The Fighting Irish have a rich history, one of which was fraught with prejudice before victory and terriers before leprechauns.
According to a Notre Dame religious bulletin released in 1953 the name “Fightinig Irish” has more meaning than what the average sport fan might think.
“To us, it doesn’t mean race exclusively; nor is it just another nickname.” the bulletin stated. “The fact is, it keeps alive the memory of a long, uphill fight for recognition against a spirit that was not always generous, nor even fair-minded.”
The bulletin went on to say that in colonial times, the term “Irish” was a slur because it rerferred to the unwanted Catholic immigrants, a majority of whom were Irish. The terms “Catholic” and “Irish” became interchangeable at the time and Notre Dame’s teams were called both. At the time it was common for team’s to be called by their religious afflilations.
As other schools’ teams abandoned their religious names, Notre Dame proudly held on to the name “Irish” despite it’s original derogatory context.
As for the name “Fighting Irish”, its origination is unknown with many surrounding rumors.
One rumor reported on the Notre Dame athletics website said the name came at halftime in a game against Northwestern in which the Wildcats began chanting “Kill the Fighting Irish!”
Another prominent legend says the name came about in a 1909 game where Notre Dame trailed behind Michigan. During halftime one of the players yelled to his team mates whose last lames were predominantly Irish, “What’s the matter with you guys? You’re all Irish and you’re not fighting worth a lick!”
According to the website Notre Dame came back for the win and the press who overheard the player reported the game as a victory for the “Fighting Irish.”
However the name came about, by the 1920’s the name stuck. But as the demand for a team mascots rose the Fighting Irish had difficulty settling on a mascot until the 1930’s.
After several mascots including film actress Sally O’Neil, Notre Dame turned to animals, including canaries, goats, and trick dogs.
As years passed, dogs stole the spotlight and became the main mascots for the team.
After having a hairless Mexican and an American bulldog named Mike, the team fittingly narrowed the mascot down to Irish terriers.
The team’s first Irish terrier was presented in 1924. According to the Notre Dame Archives the student body participated in a contest to name the dog and decided upon Tipperary Terrence, or Terry for short. Unfortunately, the dog was hit by a car just a few short months later.
“The need of a mascot was acute.” the Notre Dame Daily, the school’s newspaper said. ” All the other colleges in the United States have their mascot supposed to represent in some manner the character of the school. Terry was given to the school because it was felt that one of his breed was the best standard bearer that we could possibly have.”
The school replaced Terry with Tipperary Terrence II who then was later replaced with Top Shaun Rhu, another Irish Terrier who was known for wandering on campus and the city streets. In 1933 Top Shaun Rhu finally wandered off a little too far and was never seen again.
One of the most well-known Irish Terrier mascots was Clashmore Mike, who came onto the field in 1935 and became a University favorite who, according to the Notre Dame Archives, entertained the crowd with his sideline gymnastics for ten years before he died. Clashmore Mike received the honor of being buried in the Notre Dame Stadium in 1945.
The history of the Irish Terriers is extensive, including one terrier that had to be “put away” according to Notre Dame Archives for “(becoming) disctinctly anti-social.”
1940 is the first year an “Irishman” appeared at a Notre Dame pep rally, but it wasn’t until 1960 that Notre Dame introduced the mascot we know today as The Leprechaun.
For years both the terriers and The Leprechaun shared the Notre Dame field, but with the creation of Ted Drake’s leprechaun logo that was featured in TIME magazine in 1964, The Leprechaun became a more prominent symbol while the appearance of terriers slowly tapered off by the 1970s.
The Leprechaun remains one of the few human mascots in college football today with a green hat and trimmed beard, but many have not forgotten the terriers that originally represented the team. Since the 1980’s efforts have been made to reinstate more terriers as mascots. So far the dream of bringing back the Irish terriers has not come to fruition.

I purchased two Theros gift boxes for the SpartanKids last year. I didn’t bother reviewing them. But I purchased the Kahns of Tarkir gift box for myself at Friday Night Magic on Feb 13, and thought I would share my unboxing experience with the world!
The front of the box is pleasant, featuring the Zurgo Helmsmasher art with a red wash over the image. Note the price…$19.99. I actually got this for $16 something. There was a Valentines Day special! (at the Tangled Web)
The back shows what you get.
What is actually going on is there is a sleeve over the actual box.
Sorry. Too big a shot to keep the kitchen table from appearing! I was surprised…there was what looked like a seeded pack with a special foil on top! You got four regular packs, a pack of artsy dividers, and a label sheet. Oh yes, also a nice box with three sections.
Here are the dividers where you can see them. They are really pretty!
That “seeded pack” wasn’t a seeded pack after all…(sadness.) It was a pack of lands, with a premium foil Sultai Charm on top. I believe this card is exclusive to this Holiday gift set. I think that is one copy of each of the basic lands printed for Kahns of Tarkir.
I am going to open the packs so you can see them just as I did! I will reveal the commons, then the uncommon, and finally the rare and extras from each pack.
Nothing too notable in Pack 1! Clever Impersonator hasn’t seen that much play, surprisingly. I like Kin Tree Invocation. But even in the warrior deck, it hasn’t been used much.
I noticed right away that there were less commons in this pack…meaning a special surprise in the back! Of the commons and uncommon, I like Gurmag Swiftwing the best.
My rare was Mardu Ascendancy. What was that special card? A fetch land? No. A premium rare? no. A foil Singing Bess Strike. Really a pretty good card. But not a fetch land.
Another situation like before! But no fetch. This time my rare is really good, Blood-soaked Champion. A fighter who just won’t die! Horde Ambusher was my foil card.
And things round out with Sultai Ascendancy. A pretty good card for Sultai decks.
Packs are packs. They are always a gamble. If I had purchased these four packs, I wouldn’t have been too happy.
Finally, how good does the box hold cards.
I stocked it up with more cards so you could see. There is enough room for sleeved cards. This box has already helped me consolidate some of the odd and end boxes in my nerd closet!
What do I rate the Kahns of Tarkir Holiday Gift Box?
This is really a terrific product. If a person did not know what to get a MTG player, then this is a pretty good gift. The box works good, but the packs are a gamble. The label sheet is the only thing I haven’t mentioned. Check this out!
The labels are not really my thing. What I really like about them is the educational value for new players! I didn’t even know about different formats when I began playing. Here is a good way to create awareness. Guess what? There is even a label for “Cube!” (Among the newest formats, players find enjoyment in making booster packs for people to draft. Then they collect the cards and reassemble the cube.)
I wish there was a guide for what set each symbol represents. This is something I can’t do yet.
Then there are blank labels for you to write whatever you want when organizing your cards.
So I guess I will give it a 5/5. The packs are a gamble, so I easily could have gotten a Sorin and a Sarkahn. (I heard of someone opening a Holiday Box and getting these two.) But I didn’t. Otherwise, it is a good general product for MTG players, and a good starting product for new players, giving you four copies of the basic lands.
What is your rating? Do you agree? Let me know. Even better, let me know what you opened in Your holiday box!

How do you wrap your arms around a problem as big, complex, and consequential to humanity as climate change? At the center of all the solutions is sustainable technology.
The first documented mention of environmental issues at the World Economic Forum (WEF) occurred in 1986 when Volkswagen Chairman Carl Hahn offhandedly called for more attention to environmental protection. “In the long term,” he said, “this is our only chance.”
In 2020, WEF’s 50th anniversary, climate issues — unresolved and undeniably far more serious — were elevated to the top of the agenda. So it’s no surprise that leaders from industry, academia, and government again addressed the issue of climate change and environmental sustainability at WEF 2021. Given the intractability of the problem, it’s likely that climate will be a top issue for years, and that technology is the most important element — maybe even more important than human behavior — to containing the crisis.
Technology is part of the [climate] solution, not part of the problem, said Inger Andersen, executive director, United Nations Environmental Program
- INGER ANDERSEN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM
Despite the seriousness of the climate issue, there has been important progress made recently. To name just a few:
-INGER ANDERSEN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM growth rate of VC investment in artificial intelligence between 2013-2019.
90% of companies in the S&P 500 now publish annual sustainability reports, an indicator that industry is putting its money where its mouth is.
The global pullback on travel due to COVID-19 resulted in a more than 9% drop in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2020. While not sustainable, it shows that real change is possible and within reach.
The cost of renewable energy sources continued to fall, hitting record lows in 2020.
Thirteen additional major companies signed on to the Climate Pledge, a commitment to be net-zero carbon by 2040, a decade ahead of the Paris Agreement’s goal of 2050.
Harnessing technology for environmental sustainability
At the WEF, one group of leaders addressed how technology facilitates better and faster action on climate.
“Technology is part of the [climate] solution, not part of the problem,” said Inger Andersen, executive director of the United Nations Environment Program. “We in the UN and our Secretary General speak about two mega-trends that we need to be mindful of. One is climate change, and the other is digital technology.” Understanding how these two mega-trends intersect will be key to combating climate change.
Salesforce is doing its part to help organizations get a grip on their own carbon footprint. One example is Sustainability Cloud, which started as an internal tool to track and control our own emissions. Now, any organization can understand its impact and take action. The tool enables a deeper look at everything from business travel to raw materials transport and electricity consumption — all of which are crunched into emissions data and reported in a pre-built dashboard.
Salesforce has recently built on this work by officially including climate as a part of the company public policy platform, joining priorities like equal rights, privacy and security, and others.
It is the obligation of tech leaders to shape technology as a force for good.
- PAT GELSINGER, CEO, INTEL
As a business maneuver, this is increasingly important as consumers seek products and brands that align with their personal values.

Picture this: A stunning, sturdy kitchen table handcrafted by you, serving as the heart of your home. If this thought excites you, you’re in the right place. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll be exploring the rewarding world of DIY and learning how to build a kitchen table out of wood.
We cover everything needed to build a wooden kitchen table, from selecting woodworking tools to choosing the best wood and designing the perfect kitchen table. Our detailed step-by-step process will guide you through the creation, offering handy woodworking tips to refine your craft.
For this reason, prepare to roll up your sleeves, unleash your creativity, and construct a unique piece of furniture that echoes your style and stands the test of time.
- 1 Why Build a Kitchen Table Out of Wood?
- 2 How to Build a Kitchen Table Out of Wood in Simple Steps
- 3 Conclusion
Why Build a Kitchen Table Out of Wood?
Embracing DIY woodwork and building your own kitchen dining table comes with several distinct advantages:
- Customization: You have complete control over size, design, and finish, ensuring the table and the table legs fit your space and style perfectly.
- Durability: Wooden kitchen tables and dining table legs are robust and can withstand daily wear and tear, providing a long-lasting centerpiece for your kitchen.
- Eco-Friendly: By choosing sustainable wood sources, you can lower your environmental impact.
- Cost-Effective: It can often be more economical than buying a high-end wooden table.
- Therapeutic: Engaging in a woodworking project can be a great way to unwind and express your creativity.
What You Need to Get Started
Before diving into the project, gather these essential woodworking tools and materials:
- Tools: Saw (preferably a circular saw and a jigsaw), drill, clamps, sander, screwdriver, tape measure, square, and pencils.
- Materials: Wood (for tabletop, legs, and braces), screws, wood glue, sandpaper, wood stain, and finish.
Skills: Basic understanding of woodworking and safe tool handling is crucial. However, remember that practice makes perfect!
Choosing the Right Type of Wood
The choice of wood significantly impacts the durability and look of your table. Here are some of the best types of wood for a kitchen table:
|Hardwood (e.g., Oak, Maple Wood, Walnut)
|Durable, Long-lasting, Aesthetically pleasing
|Can be expensive, Harder to work with
|Softwood (e.g., Pine, Fir)
|More affordable, Easier to work with
|Less durable, Prone to dents and scratches
Designing Your Kitchen Table
Design considerations should include the following:
- Size: Determine the size based on your kitchen’s available space and how many people you want to accommodate.
- Style: Whether you prefer a rustic farmhouse look or a sleek, modern table design, this is the stage to let your creativity flow.
- Stability: Ensure the design includes solid support for the tabletop, such as a robust brace structure.
- Finish: The type of stain or finish will not only protect your table but also enhance its overall look.
Remember, your design does not have to be perfect from the get-go. As you proceed with the construction either for the dining room or the kitchen, you may need to make tweaks and adjustments to avoid costly mistakes. That’s all part of the DIY dining table woodworking journey!
How to Build a Kitchen Table Out of Wood in Simple Steps
After choosing the right tools, materials, and design for your wooden kitchen table, it’s time to start the construction process. Now, get your hands busy implementing those farmhouse table plans.
Let’s break down the steps of how to build a kitchen table out of scrap wood:
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Make sure you have a clear, safe area to work in. Gather all your tools and materials in one place for easy access.
Step 2: Cut Your Wood
Based on your design, measure and mark the dimensions of your tabletop, legs, and braces on the wood. Using your saw, carefully cut the pieces.
Step 3: Assemble the Table Top
- Arrange the cut pieces for your table top side by side on a flat surface.
- Apply wood glue along the edge of each piece and clamp them together.
- Allow the glue to dry completely.
Step 4: Construct the Table Base
- Cut four pieces for the legs and two braces for the top and bottom of the particular table.
- Attach the braces to the legs using wood glue and pocket hole screws, forming two rectangles.
- Connect the two rectangles with four more braces to create a stable base.
Step 5: Attach the Top to the Base
- Once the base is assembled, position the tabletop on the base.
- Attach the tabletop to the base using wood screws, ensuring it’s secure and evenly aligned.
Step 6: Sanding
- Use a sander or sandpaper to smooth out the tabletop and legs.
- Start with coarse-grit sandpaper and work your way up to fine-grit for a smooth finish.
Step 7: Apply the Finish
- Choose a stain or finish that complements your kitchen’s farmhouse style.
- Apply the finish according to the manufacturer’s instructions, let it dry, then add a second coat if necessary.
Step 8: Let It Dry
- Allow the table to dry thoroughly before use.
- Follow the drying times recommended on your stain or finish.
At the end of it all, celebrate the completion of your DIY farmhouse table project, which may look like an outdoor table but is not! And so you’ve now learned how to build a kitchen table out of reclaimed wood and have a unique piece of furniture to show for it.

Unfortunately, Making a holiday plan for short-term travelers to Antalya is not imaginable. Even just one town can be the subject of long writings. Therefore, we briefly give some info about “where to go in Antalya”, “what to do in Antalya” and make a list of “places to visit in Antalya”.
Places to See in Antalya
List of places to visit in Antalya;
Patara beach is close by Patara ancient city which is between the towns of Kas and Fethiye. As one of the most important spawning grounds of sea turtles called caretta caretta, whose genomes are in danger of extinction, the area is protected by the project prepared by the Natural Life Protection Foundation. Patara, which attracts nature lovers with its unspoiled structure, is the birthplace of Saint Nikolaus, whom all the world’s children recognize as Santa Claus. Patara, which is the center of interest from antiquity, is considered as the longest sandy beach of Turkey.
Cleopatra beach starts right after the western half of Alanya’s historic peninsula and the end of Damlatas. Its name derives from Cleopatra, the last Hellenistic queen of ancient Egypt, who lived between 69 BC – 30 BC.
Murat Pasha Mosque
We start with Murat Pasha Mosque on our list of places to visit in Antalya. One of the most interesting places of the mosque, which has a unique workmanship from the 1500’s, is a minbar with a rare beauty.
Yivli Minare Mosque (Grooved Minaret)
It is one of the first Islamic works in Antalya. The minaret built by Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat comes into prominence thanks to its structure making it one of the unique examples all over the world.
The way between Fethiye and Antalya is an unbelievable trekking route. At the same time, it has many beauties like Gelidonya Lighthouse which has awarded to the Best Landscape of Turkey.
Click to book a hotel in Antalya via Trivago
We continue with a list of places to visit in Antalya with a cave. The Karain Cave, which is proposed to take part in the World Heritage List, has a magnificent magic that can take you to another world. The cave is still one of the biggest in Turkey.
It is one of the most comprehensive and biggest museums of Turkey. The main reason for establishing this museum is to protect works that are being sacked during WWI. Museum Website
Xanthos Ancient City
Despite its history dating back to 3000 years, it is one of the most robust ancient cities in Turkey. It also distinguishes from many other ancient cities with its exquisite sea view and mosaics.
If you want to breathe a bit in the hot days of Antalya with Duden Waterfall and witness to the enchanting scenery of nature, turn your route immediately. Besides seeing the waterfall, you have to enter the cave which is a secret beauty. Thus, you can abstract yourself from the outer world.
One of Antalya’s hidden heavens is Kursunlu Waterfall. It is more peaceful than Duden and Manavgat so you can find peace of mind here.
Ancient City of Termessos
It is one of the best preserved ancient cities in the world. Because the city was already built to be protected, the building was able to stay undamaged. It is so lively that it can even take you on a short history trip.
Saklikent Ski Resort
As far as Antalya is concerned, only the sea and the sun may come to your mind. But if you go to Antalya in the winter months, you can have the pleasure of kayaking in Saklikent Ski Resort on the Taurus Mountains.
Aspendos Ancient City
The Aspendos Antique Theater is a remarkable theater with enormous size. In fact, it is a whole city with aqueducts, basilica, stadium, fountains and arches. Do not leave without seeing one of the world’s best works.
Our next stop at “Places to visit in Antalya” is Manavgat Waterfall. It is not enough to look at the photographs to understand how beautiful this waterfall that has become the symbol of not only Manavgat but also Antalya. When you face the waterfall you will be able to understand why it is so precious. In addition, the promenade areas around Manavgat Waterfall are also very convenient for some breathing.
The Manavgat Waterfall is the result of the river spills from a cliff about 4 meters long. There are various picnic areas around the waterfall. People who get tired of the noise and crowd of the city can escape here and set up a nice camp and live a holiday with nature.
A paradise corner with its nature and unique view. It is so beautiful and charming that you will wish that no one be aware it exists.
For nature walks, rafting or camping, it is the most accurate adventure destination in Antalya, perhaps in Turkey. If you plan to spend a holiday away from the crowd, bear to enjoy nature in this peerless place in Antalya.

Now, scientists have discovered a way to protect against death following infection with plague bacteria, by using molecules that can mimic the pathogens. According to research published in the July issue of Microbiology, these molecules make antibiotics more effective and can even be used to protect against other diseases.
The plague, caused by Yersinia pestis, has killed an estimated 200 million people worldwide. Although treatments have improved, it remains a threat to public health. It can be transmitted from human to human in aerosols and is therefore listed as a Category A bioterrorism agent.
"Yersinia pestis is successful in causing disease in mammals because it can dampen the normal non-specific immune response to infection," said Dr Scott Minnich from the University of Idaho, USA. "We found an intranasal therapy that stimulates the innate immune response and protects against pneumonic plague."
Following infection, lipid A (which is part of the bacterial surface) binds to receptors on our immune cells, triggering an immune response. Yersinia pestis circumvents this, stopping our cells from taking action. Molecules have been developed that mimic lipid A, eliciting a strong immune response that can prevent death in infected animals. Dr Minnich and his colleagues studied the effect of a nasal spray containing two such molecules, CRX-524 and CRX-527, on mice infected with Yersinia pestis.
"Treatment with synthetic modified lipid A molecules can directly protect animals against pneumonic plague infections," said Dr Minnich. "We also found that stimulating innate immunity using this nasal spray enhanced conventional antibiotic therapy. When it is given along with antibiotics, fewer doses and less antibiotic protects against pneumonic plague."
The results of this study suggest that synthetic modified lipid A compounds may provide a new therapeutic tool against plague infection. In a control group that did not receive the treatment, only 23% of mice survived for 3 days. When given the mimic molecules, up to 93% of mice survived for 3 days, 70% for 4 days and 34% recovered completely. This highlights the importance of the non-specific, first-line immune defences during the critical early phase of infection. Stimulating this response can over-ride a microorganism's counter measures to evade or disable the immune response.
Other studies have shown related therapeutic compounds are also effective against influenza and Listeria monocytogenes. "This work is still at a very basic animal model testing stage with regards to plague," said Dr Minnich. "What is exciting is that these studies provide insight into bacterial/host interactions in the disease process and promise new strategies to combat a variety of infectious agents."

CEDAR CITY, Utah - Southern Utah University men's tennis lost its home opener to Sacramento State on Saturday morning, falling to the Hornets 7-0.
The Thunderbirds shifted their doubles lineup with freshmen Troy Benson and Bryton Wells teaming to play No. 1 doubles for the first time this season. The duo played their best match of the year despite falling 8-3. Juniors Alex Dial and Spencer Nielsen also paired for the first time at No. 2 doubles and turned in their result of the 2013 campaign, but ended up losing the match 8-3.
In singles, Dial led the T-Birds by winning three games in his match at No. 3, but lost to Sacramento State's Sean Kolar 6-1, 6-2. Benson's match at No. 1 singles was the last to wrap up during the contest as the Brighton HS product fell to the Hornets' Aliaksandr Malko 6-0, 6-2.
The match had strong geographical differences between the two teams as Southern Utah's roster is made up entirely of athletes from the state of Utah. Sacramento State's lineup included athletes from Belarus, Poland, California, India, England and Estonia.
The Thunderbirds will be back in action next week with a conference match at Northern Colorado on Thursday.

High-resolution ensemble forecasting for the Gulf of Mexico eddies and fronts
Source: Ocean Dynamics, Volume 59, Number 1, February 2009 , pp. 83-95(13)
Abstract:High-resolution models and realistic boundary conditions are necessary to reproduce the mesoscale dynamics of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). In order to achieve this, we use a nested configuration of the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), where the Atlantic TOPAZ system provides lateral boundary conditions to a high-resolution (5 km) model of the GOM . However, such models cannot provide accurate forecasts of mesoscale variability, such as eddy shedding event, without data assimilation. Eddy shedding events involve the rapid growth of nonlinear instabilities that are difficult to forecast. The known sources of error are the initial state, the atmospheric condition, and the lateral boundary condition. We present here the benefit of using a small ensemble forecast (10 members) for providing confidence indices for the prediction, while using a data assimilation scheme based on optimal interpolation. Our set of initial states is provided by using different values of a data assimilation parameter, while the atmospheric and lateral boundary conditions are perturbed randomly. Changes in the data assimilation parameter appear to control the main position of the large features of the GOM in the initial state, whereas changes in the boundary conditions (lateral and atmospheric) appears to control the propagation of cyclonic eddies at their boundary. The ensemble forecast is tested for the shedding of Eddy Yankee (2006). The Loop Current and eddy fronts observed from ocean color and altimetry are almost always within the estimated positions from the ensemble forecast. The ensemble spread is correlated both in space and time to the forecast error, which implies that confidence indices can be provided in addition to the forecast. Finally, the ensemble forecast permits the optimization of a data assimilation parameter for best performance at a given forecast horizon.

RIM Tablet Would Join Steep Competition
"The new OS gives them that capability," Gold told eWEEK. "And frankly, it could be very attractive to enterprises who want the bigger screens that tablets bring but still want the security and manageability that BlackBerry is known for. "Would it compete head to head with iPad? Perhaps. But I would suspect it is more aimed at business users than iPad would be." A RIM tablet would join the iPad, which has set the bar for tablet computers by selling 2 million-plus units in two months.A RIM tablet would also contend with tablets based on Android. The Archos 5 and the Dell Streak already exist, and Verizon and Google are building a tablet together. Samsung said yesterday it is building the Android-based Galaxy Tab for launch in the third quarter. HP is believed to have purchased smartphone maker Palm to inject Palm's WebOS into a tablet. All of this proves that many companies are chasing Apple in tablets. "It's reasonably easy to upsize a smart phone into a tablet device, especially if you are using Android," Gold said. However, Gold expects the tablet feeding frenzy to subside because the device is, like the netbook, a tweener. "I believe that tablets will not be as overwhelmingly successful as many people think. They will have a run for the next 6-12 months, but then I expect them to taper off. They will not eliminate traditional laptops, nor will they replace smartphones." Even so, the specter of a tablet shows that RIM, which finds its BlackBerry OS share pecked at by the iPhone and Android devices that provider a better Web browsing experience, believes it can't afford to let the next hot wave in mobile computing pass.
Unlike the iPhone when it was originally launched in June 2007, Apple's iPad is being lauded as an enterprise tool for work tasks, such as making presentations and sales pitches. Citrix studies and an analysts' poll revealed a great deal of support for the iPad among businesses.
