Publication:Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3e)
This text is quoted from promotion material. Text and images are copyrighted by the original publisher.
In 2001, Wizards of the Coast, Inc. published the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, a Forgotten Realms campaign source book for use with the 3rd Edition of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. The book was written by Ed Greenwood, Sean K. Reynolds, Skip Williams, and Rob Heinsoo, with the contributions of members of the Wizard company's staff. The book is 320 pages in length; illustrated in color, and hardbound.
A number of changes were made since the previous books were published by the former TSR, Inc. The most important update was to incorporate the significant revisions to the game system with the 3rd edition update. Various regional feats, character attributes, prestige classes, spells, and NPC statistics all used the new rule set.
The work also made some notable updates to the campaign setting, including the widespread presence of Red Wizard enclaves in various cities, the presence of a mysterious group called the Shades in the southern Anauroch desert, and the increasing surface presence of Dark Elves in the Dalelands. The setting history was updated to reflect various major events, such as the changes to the Faerûnian pantheon since the Time of Troubles, and the defeat of the Tuigan Horde.
The book was organized into nine chapters, covering in broad detail the campaign setting. The primary emphasis is on the continent of Faerûn, and the other continents are only briefly mentioned. The chapters are arranged as follows:
- Characters — How to create a player character for the setting, including races, classes, regional feats, religions, and setting-specific prestige classes. (Many of these later have been merged into the version 3.5 release of Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide.)
- Magic — An explanation of how magic operates in this setting, and a number of unique aspects of magic. A few additional spells are provided, primarily to support the new Domains.
- Life in Faerûn — A general overview of life, lore, culture and commerce in this setting.
- Geography — Each of the significant regions of the continent are explored, along with places of interest, cities, politics, and significant individuals.
- Deities — Only the major deities are described in this edition, with the remainder of the pantheon detailed in Faiths & Pantheons. Several new Domains are introduced, with the incumbent spells listed in the Magic chapter.
- History — This is an overview of the detailed history of this setting, with a lengthy time line at the end of the chapter.
- Organizations — Groups, cults, and other organizations play an important role in the realms, and several of the most significant are detailed herein.
- Running the Realms — This chapter provides useful advice for the Dungeon Master trying to run an adventure or campaign in this setting. A pair of brief sample adventures are included.
- Monsters — A brief list of monsters unique to this continent are introduced, with a more extensive selection published later in other books.
This work contained a number of quality maps, and a fold-out map of the continent of Faerûn. There were also many sidebar topics and tables.
Also, throughout the sourcebook, stats were given for many popular Forgotten Realms characters such as Drizzt Do'Urden, Artemis Entreri, Elminster, Khelben Blackstaff, Fzoul Chembryl and Manshoon. The stats were reflections of the characters at that time. Artemis Entreri's stats didn't list him as having Charon's Claw, because Servant of the Shard wasn't published yet.

Getting into debt is as much a part of university life as lectures and drinking games – which means that, behind the scenes, parents may also have to stretch their budgets to help see their children through college.
Student living costs have risen by almost twice the rate of inflation over the past six years, according to research conducted for The Sunday Times. LV= concurs, reporting that parents can now expect to spend a staggering £43,094, or £14,365 a year, on their offspring between the ages of 18 and 21 – and even more when tuition fees are hiked to £9,000 next year.
Many parents are likely to use their savings to fund their children’s further education – but a study by HSBC found that more than half of parents of children under 18 had not started saving for their child’s university costs, with 21 per cent relying on overtime to foot the bill, eight per cent planning to downsize their property and five per cent saying they would ask grandparents to chip in.
If you aren’t fully prepared, you’re going to need a financial education yourself – and fast. Here are some ideas to keep costs down (you might want to share them with the kids).
Get to grips with budgeting
Go through your regular bills and card statements so you know exactly where the money’s going. Then work out where you can cut back and set yourself a budget – it should include the occasional treat, or you’ll fall off the wagon.
Read up on your subject
If you’re using credit to fund some of your offspring’s running costs, your credit report needs to be top of the class. It contains the history of your cards, loans, mortgage and other credit accounts, along with your repayment record. Lenders look at it before they make you an offer, so everything should be accurate and up to date. Contact the relevant lender if you want to query anything or rectify mistakes. It’s free to see your Experian credit report with a 30-day trial of CreditExpert.
Register (to vote) as soon as possible
Make sure you’re on the electoral roll at your current address. Lenders check it to verify that you live where you say you do and it may improve your credit score.
Try not to take on too much
Accommodation is one of the biggest student living costs, which is why seven per cent of parents told HSBC that they planned to invest in a buy-to-let property3. If this appeals, don’t overstretch yourself. Missed and late payments stay on your credit report for at least three years, sending a warning sign to lenders. A court action or bankruptcy hangs around for at least six years, meaning you could be refused credit or charged high interest for years to come.
Do your research
Each application for credit triggers a search of your credit report that leaves a trace known as a footprint. If lenders see lots of these, they may think you’re desperate or even suspect a fraud. So it’s best to research first, and only to apply when you’re sure you’ve found a deal that suits you. If you’re just testing the water, ask for a quote.
Ask for help if you need it
If your circumstances change or you’re struggling to cover costs, talk to your lenders – they may be able to adjust your payment schedule to make it more affordable. Encourage your offspring to be open about finances as well, so you’re not landed with any unwelcome surprises.
Know the (credit) score
To calculate the risk that you won’t repay what you borrow, lenders generate a score based on your application and information from your credit report – the higher, the better. You can see your Experian Credit Score for free with a trial of CreditExpert4 . If it doesn’t add up, you may have to work on your own finances before helping your children.”

Camilla Parker-Bowles allegedly told Prince Harry it would be "funny" if his mixed-race child had "ginger Afro hair", according to bombshell claims.
The Duchess of Cornwall allegedly made the comment back in 2016, according to a new book - Tom Bower's new unauthorised biography, 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors'.
Bower explores the "rift" between Harry and other members of the royal family since he embarked on a relationship with Meghan. It's claimed the conservation came up as Harry began seeing then Suits actress Meghan Markle and met with his father and Camilla to discuss the finer details of his new relationship and security arrangements.
However insiders close to Camilla hit back at the claims and dismissed them as "nonsense" The Mirror report.
Mr Bower writes of that time: "During those weeks, Harry met Charles and Camilla at Clarence House. In Harry's version, Harry was told that Meghan should continue with her acting career.
"Second, Scotland Yard could not automatically be expected to pay for his girlfriend's 24- hour protection."
Mr Bower goes on to claim in his book: "Four years later, Harry described the aftermath of those conversations as 'really hard' and 'awkward'. But none of his previous girlfriends had given up work or been protected by the police.
"Harry also knew that Charles's limited income from the Duchy of Cornwall meant the annual allowance to himself would never exceed £1.5 million, a substantial amount by most standards. Finally, in his view, any family speculation about a child's appearance was (unfortunately) seen by his elders as light-hearted. A conversation with Meghan would change that assumption."
The alleged comments from Camilla precluded an interview Harry and Meghan made with US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, where they claimed an unnamed member of his family wondered how "dark" their first born Archie's skin would be.
"In those months when I was pregnant [there were] concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he was born," Meghan said in the interview watched by over 80 million. Harry added: "That conversation, I am never going to share. At the time it was awkward, I was a bit shocked."
Mr Bower believes Sussexes have been "dreadful" for Britain and the Royal Family. Earlier this week he said he hoped his no-holds-barred book would "hasten" the couple's downfall.

Barcelona are reportedly closely monitoring the progress of 21-year-old Athletic Bilbao attacker Oihan Sancet.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Oihan Sancet is the subject of interest from Barcelona over a possible move in the summer transfer window. The Catalan giants are tracking the 22-year-old Athletic Bilbao attacker’s progress, with Xavi Hernandez impressed by his performances this season.
Oihan Sancet is widely regarded as one of the most promising young attacking players in La Liga, having made excellent progress since joining Athletic Bilbao from Osasuna in 2015. The youngster made his first-team bow for Los Leones in August 2019, aged just 19, and he has since made massive strides at San Mames.
The 2021/22 season has been his best to date, with Sancet amassing four goals and three assists in 20 appearances across all competitions thus far. The 21-year-old’s progress has not gone unnoticed, with one of the biggest clubs in La Liga, Barcelona, setting sights on him over a possible summer move.
The interest from Barcelona stems from the uncertainties surrounding the futures of Luuk de Jong and Martin Braithwaite at Camp Nou. The strikers are likely to be offloaded in the summer transfer window, even though de Jong has recently shown some resurgent signs, and Braithwaite has often been a handy backup option.
Memphis Depay’s Barcelona future is not set in stone either, with the Dutch international linked with a gamut of clubs across Europe. Barcelona will thus need to make many attacking investments in the summer transfer window, with Erling Haaland reportedly being their key target.
To that end, Sancet has emerged as a viable target for Barcelona, with his versatility potentially making him an option to feature across the attacking line. The 21-year-old’s acquisition will also enable Joan Laporta to continue adding more Spanish elements to the first-team squad at Camp Nou.
But Barcelona will need to move quickly to secure the services of the Athletic Bilbao attacker, with La Liga rivals Real Madrid also keeping tabs on his progress. For now, the Catalan giants are also closely monitoring the 21-year-old’s development, and it will be interesting to see if they firm up their interest in him in the summer.


Water damage to your home or business can happen numerous different ways. Windstorms can cause damage by creating an opening in the structure that allows water to enter. Even if not a windstorm, you might have what is called “ensuing loss” damage to the interior of your home because of a construction defect to your roof, window, stucco or other building materials. Broken pipes can also cause extensive water damage, particularly if you are not home when the break occurs. Coverage for these kinds of losses can vary from policy to policy so it is critical to speak to an attorney who understands the ins and outs of insurance coverage in the event your insurance company denies or underpays this type of claim.
Any time water damage is at issue, you must act quickly and report the loss to your insurance company. You must also locate the source of the water. If you are faced with a situation where water is rushing in from somewhere, you may need to shut your water off temporarily or have a professional come and address it. You must also take reasonable steps to stop additional water from entering the structure to prevent further damage, which may mean placing a tarp on the roof or shrink-wrap where you are experiencing leaking. In the event of a burst pipe, it may mean hiring a reputable water remediation company to perform emergency services as soon as possible after the loss.
With Florida being a hot and humid state, Mold can be a common occurrence. Mold can grow when water damage is left unaddressed and can be common after a burst pipe, windstorm or flood. Mold damage may be covered under a property insurance policy with a “cap” on the amount of the coverage. Such caps for mold damage are usually $10,000 but vary by policy.
Mold use tiny spores to reproduce and move through the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold spores land on damp surfaces indoors, they may begin growing.
When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth often occurs, particularly if you it remains unknown and undiscovered. Many policyholders do not realize they have a mold issue until they begin to smell what they believe to be mold. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment besides controlling moisture levels.
HOW CAN AN ATTORNEY HELP ME WITH MY WATER DAMAGE CLAIM?
Whether you need legal advice or your claim has been denied, delayed or underpaid, the insurance claim lawyers at Danahy & Dunnavant, P.A. have extensive experience assisting clients throughout Florida with their water-related insurance claims.
Many insurance policies have specific limitations on coverage for water damage and mold and every year policies in Florida add additional exclusions for water damage. Our lawyers can help you determine whether your insurance policy has such limits and otherwise if it covers the cause of the water or mold damage.
The experienced team at Danahy & Dunnavant, P.A. offer free initial consultations in English or Spanish. If you have a question about your water or mold loss, please do not hesitate to give us a call at (813) 906-1841.

Using a modified Polycase, dual lithium-ion batteries, a 5-inch Zenith LCD, and a whole bunch of Super Nintendo, the modder created what could easily be mistaken for a bona-fide production model. Sure, the back looks a tad bit messy, but "Life of Brian" (the SNES fan in question) has managed to squeeze in a second controller port and A/V outs -- no small feat.

Overland Park has been reimbursed for the damage that a 5-year-old caused to a $132,000 sculpture on sale at a community center, city officials say.
The city received a check for $107,000 from the insurance company of the boy’s family, city spokesman Sean Reilly told The Star. That check reimbursed the city for all but the $25,000 deductible in the city's insurance policy.
But the boy's mother, Sarah Goodman, said Saturday she had known nothing about her insurance company payment and she wondered whether there was a thorough investigation to validate the value of the artwork.
"I haven't been told anything," Goodman said.
The city now plans to send a check for $99,000 to the artist of the damaged sculpture, Reilly said. That $99,000 is what the artist, Bill Lyons of Kansas City, would have received if the piece had actually been sold at the community center art sale, because the city gets a 25 percent commission on sales, Reilly explained.
Lyons did not return phone calls from The Star seeking comment about the financial settlement.
News about the May 19 incident went viral worldwide after The Star posted video of the 5-year-old boy touching and accidentally toppling the glass sculpture on display at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in south Overland Park.
The video showed the child wrapping his arms around the piece, which depicted a woman’s head and torso, and then struggling to hold it up as it fell to the floor.
The boy’s mother told The Star on June 14 that she was stunned to receive a letter from the city’s insurance company, Travelers, seeking to recover monetary damages for the sculpture.
Goodman said she and her family had attended a wedding reception May 19 at the community center and that her children were well supervised. She said she and her husband were just down the hall when she was alerted that something had happened.
She speculated that her son had tried to “hug” the sculpture and said it was fortunate that he wasn’t badly injured when the glass artwork fell.
Goodman wondered at the time why the family was being charged for a child’s accident. She said she was empathetic to the artist's hard work but questioned how the $132,000 price for the piece was established. She wondered why the city didn’t have the artwork roped off or otherwise better protected from the public in a busy community center with lots of children and families.
Many people who saw the video commented that the child needed better parental supervision. But others sympathized with the parents and argued that this was a community center, not a museum where families would be expected to warn their children not to touch anything.
On Saturday, Goodman noted that this was a highly trafficked facility that hosts children's birthday parties and other family events. She said other artwork at the center was protected by plexiglass, but this piece was not.
People who work with public art displays in Kansas City, and other cities across the country told the Star that it’s routine for cities to have a loan agreement that protects the artist, the public and the community space, including conditions for presentation and ways to assure the art is safely displayed.
Overland Park did have a loan agreement with Lyons and the other artists, which stated that “floor sculptures or pedestal works must be independently stable.” It did not specify how that should occur.
Reilly said the damaged sculpture weighed 20 pounds and came with a 30-pound pedestal that the artist provided.
He said the art piece was “clipped in” to a groove that the piece sat in on the pedestal, but the city did not require that it be bolted down or roped off.
“It was clipped. That was the way the artist designed it,” Reilly said. “Not every piece is bolted.”
He said that in order for the piece to be taken off the pedestal, it had to be lifted. “You can’t just knock it over,” he said. “The child lifted it. It was clipped.”
Reilly said the city’s insurer was contractually obligated to contact the responsible party when property on loan to the city was damaged, and the financial issue has now been resolved.
“It’s an unfortunate situation,” Reilly said. “We all wish it had never occurred, but we’re all moving forward.”
The artwork was titled “Aphrodite di Kansas City.” In a June 14 interview with The Star, Lyons said he had not had the artwork professionally appraised and did not personally insure it.
He said the project took two years to complete and was the most ambitious, expensive work he had ever attempted. He said he had established the $132,000 price tag because he felt that was what it was worth. The sculpture was made of small pieces of glass and other materials, and Lyons considered it to be unique.
Lyons said the toppling of the work caused the back of the head to shatter and also damaged the arms, to the point where the work could not be restored to its original condition.
Some arts consultants have suggested that best practices would call for a city to verify the market value of art on sale.
“If I were managing a program in which this happens, and I saw this rather large dollar amount attached to a specific work of art, I would be checking the paper trail,” said James Martin, an independent art consultant who has advised the cities of Olathe, Merriam and Gladstone on public art, as well as Truman Medical Center on loaned art displays. “Do we have a paper trail confirming that this is a fair market price?”
Martin said he did not know Lyons and had no comment on his work. But he said it would be prudent for a city to verify the value of art on display and for sale. Best practice, he said, would be to involve a professionally accredited appraiser.
Martin and others also said best practices for cities would dictate taking steps to make sure the art is safely displayed.
“That is a conversation that comes up quite frequently,” Martin said.
Reilly said the city has displayed artwork as an enhancement to its public spaces since 1978. For years, the Matt Ross and Tomahawk Ridge community centers and Overland Park Convention Center have hosted rotating public art displays. Reilly said nothing like this has ever happened before.
"There is an expectation that people do not interact with the pieces. Climbing is never anticipated," he said.
Tomahawk Ridge Community Center hosts a two-month juried art show and sale ever year. This year’s show ran from April 6 to June 10 and featured 158 pieces, ranging in price from $80 to $132,000. Lyons’ artwork did not win any awards in the judged portion of the show.
Reilly said the city will consider whether any policy changes are needed to avoid something like this happening in the future, but no decisions have been made.
“Anytime we have a situation like this we always review what has occurred and if we could do anything differently,” he said. “Staff is still looking at it.”

Every day in India, 13 women die of unsafe abortions. It accounts for 10 to 12 per cent of total maternal deaths in Pakistan, and 7 per cent in Nepal. Unsafe abortions have increased three folds in the last decade in South Asia and this has become a pressing problem. These abortions are done without medical supervision, and include activities like inserting surgical devices or inapt herbs and spices or poison through the vaginal canal, consumption of non-OTC abortion pills without medical consultation, and perforation of the uterus. These methods are hazardous to the health of women as such abortions are performed by medically unqualified personnel and sometimes induced by the pregnant women on themselves and more often than not causes disability or worse, death.
This deliberate termination of pregnancy, abortion, is perhaps why today it is one of the most widely debated topics worldwide. The convictions on whether or not abortion should be conferred on a woman is powerfully held by groups on either side of the debate. Proponents and opponents argue for and against a worldview that focuses on rights of the people to undergo an abortion and that it cannot be curbed by the government or other violators of rights, contrasting with sanctity of the life of the foetus and that nobody should hold the rights to end a life especially when some other people fail to conceive.
The important question that should be addressed is whether rights to a safe abortion should be bestowed on a woman by formal and informal mechanisms of control or should she have the sole autonomy of her bodily rights.
Actually, there are several complex reasons for why some are against abortion but the underlying generalisation is that women, by choosing abortion, are opting an easy way out. The battle between the pro-choice and the pro-life schools of thought exists on a much larger scale than ideological. The spillovers are reflected in inconsistencies in policy making, ease of availing rights or medicinal facilities, and attitudes, knowledge and practice among various groups on a much larger scale than possibly imagined. This goes on to be reflected in inflexible abortion laws in countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh, non-application of seemingly liberal laws in India, and difficulties to implement very liberal abortion laws in Nepal. However, that perception may be unfair because abortion is nota cinch and women who do consider it weigh all their costs and decide to go for one atrocious procedure that changes their bodies and lives forever.
Whatever may be the underlying reason for why an abortion is sought, to address the legal complexities is not even the most difficult challenge surrounding abortion, albeit the cumbersome nature of making and amending laws. What happens actually is that existence of rigid laws only curb abortions to an extent and in turn create situations where people still find their ways around getting illegal abortions- clandestine and precarious. Thus, the most difficult challenge that exists is of unsafe abortions that take place whatever the law may be on paper. For instance, in Bangladesh, despite abortion being illegal an estimated 1,194,000 induced abortions were performed in 2014 and most of these were unsafely carried out. Abortion under any circumstances has been legal in Nepal since 2002. Yet, about 58% of the total abortions that are induced even today are unsafe.
This convenience is hampered by hindrances that make unavailable even the legally permitted abortion to women. Religious ordinances and diktats render abortion an impermissible activity. Apart from this, situations arise where women are not able to avail an abortion because of unwanted pressure exerted on them by the family. Non-awareness of the laws and medical procedures, limited reach and accessibility, societal, financial, religious, and cultural hindrances are some obstructions that need to be overcome to get a safe abortion.
Unsafe abortions put at risk the health of a woman. Abortion without the involvement of a trained medical expert will definitely lead to a difficult and unsanitary situation. Meanwhile, trained medical experts are also rare in rural areas as is the information on how to obtain abortions legally. Weak financial conditions clubbed with the absence of reach and accessibility is the biggest hindrance to getting an abortion and reasons behind posing a problem despite lax laws.
Sex selection abortion is highly prevalent in India as parents continue to long for male children over female children. Because this is a criminalised activity, women continue to choose unsafe abortions with the help of their family members. This was actually a family planning method to ensure the one-child policy in China and people preferred male children over female. In fact, 336 million abortions have been performed in China between 1971 and 2013. Only recently in 2018 have new rules sprung up where women need to get a signed approval from a medical practitioner.
In India, abortion is not readily available to women except in cases where the pregnancy results out of a rape, where the foetus is unsafe for the woman to carry, where the baby would be born with severe disabilities or deformities, and in case of married women upon the failure of contraception. A burdensome consultation permission from a doctor is required before 12 weeks, and permission from two doctors are required after 12 before 18 weeks and additionally, the court needs to permit abortions and due to legislative delays so the woman is far outside the safe abortion bracket causing health risks to herself.Similarly, so many survivors of rape, even minors, have been denied abortion in India and instead have had to marry their rapists because the best interests of the child were taken into consideration and not of the mother. The onus of proof lies on the woman where she has to prove it to the court that she deserves to be granted an abortion because she needs it.
Abortion delayed is abortion denied and state mechanisms should have no say on when or not to grant an abortion. Every person should have the right to avail healthcare as they will and abortion should be covered and talked about openly. Women should have full decisions over abortion and the choice to consult with a partner should be solely theirs because bodily rights cannot be conferred to the state by another person, even a sexual partner.
Coronavirus the Catalyst of Shaping the Global Integrated Space
When we look at Earth planet, we see many geographical spaces that have been divided into different puzzles in different forms and formats, and boundaries within national boundaries, ethnic boundaries, ideological boundaries, developed and undeveloped boundaries and thousands of other types of boundaries have divided it. In other words, our integrated world has become a fragmented world through numerous natural and synthetic boundaries, and actors in every geographic space have made extensive efforts to prevent competitive strategies and sometimes with preventing collaborative and interactive strategies with other spaces will provide the ground for moving to geographic space. In this range, national spaces are of greater importance and priority. In these spaces, every government is making every effort to regulate the space for its citizens, which is a space-based organization that has the following characteristics: security (at different levels; biological and human sustainability). Over the past centuries, this strategy has been at the core of countries and has been prioritized by organizing their own geographical areas, and each government has made every effort to improve its geographic space and productivity.
After the Second World War, with the formation of the United Nations and with the advent of globalization, the ground for increased intergovernmental cohesion was developed and countries became economically and partially politically interdependent and interconnected. As this connection increased, the scope for increasing the linkage between geographic spaces expanded globally, and in addition to the strategy of organizing the interior, countries also partially developed the strategy of organizing the global space. In addition, human rights, environmental issues, and climate change (global warming) added the linkage between countries and geographical spaces, and strategies for organizing a more prominent global space were followed by actors. Despite the increasing interconnectedness of geographic spaces around the world, governments have sometimes been concerned to some extent with the reduction of their geographic space in favor of the organization of global space, skeptical and shifting priorities, and in some cases, such as the exit of Trump from the Paris treaty we see that national strategies (reorganizing the country space) have again become a top priority for countries and little attention has been paid to global reorganization strategies. Because the actors of national spaces express for themselves the mentality that our geographical spaces with tight boundaries can guide us towards a secure, developed, meaningful space, and the actions and issues of other and global communication spaces, not to us.
In the meantime, the advent of coronavirus has made a difference in the global space, and as a catalyst it has simply re-emphasized global unity in all aspects. Coronavirus, in contrast to previous ones, such as globalization, which was more economic in nature, climate change that was gradual and subtle, and others had prominent features such as security in terms of security of life, economic, social, and so on, has rapid and wide diffusion speed, ability to cross international borders and more. Coronavirus has simply shown that national geographic spaces are interconnected and interact with one another, simply influencing one another. Accordingly, the only strategy in preventing it is no longer responding to the arrangement of national geographic space for governments, and cannot be helpful. In order to regulate the space of their countries, governments must be able to explain national strategies along with strategies to organize the global space.
All in all, the universe has become a cohesive whole, shaking the whole space and shaking it with the slightest impact on a local space. The more these strategies in national spaces can accommodate and maintain in global space as a whole, certainly challenges and issues such as coronavirus can less shake the world. It should be kept in mind, however, that this is not inconsistent with what I have termed Coronavirus and the resurgence of frontiers, since it is a globalization issue.
COVID-19: Toward New Forms of Social Organisation
The rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus has led to noticeable shifts in the social governance of the communities affected by the epidemic. The virus may well become a trigger for the introduction of new technology in management and politics, as well as their further improvement. Many of these technological innovations have already been known for a long time, and, to one degree or another, have been put into practice. However, inertia is characteristic of human nature. History knows many cases where well-known inventions were unable to achieve widespread adoption until a particular crisis necessitated their implementation. In addition, an emergency situation allows for the pursuit of unpopular measures that had previously been thought to contradict the law or morality. Force majeure circumstances justify tough steps and new means of governance, which otherwise may have led to public opposition and protests. Like any epidemic, COVID-19 is a temporary phenomenon. But the arrival of an emergency, however fleeting, can provoke changes that will remain with us for a long time.
The first and most obvious is the widespread use of distance learning and working. Modern information technology has facilitated remote work for a long time. There are advanced platforms for online courses, databases, a wide selection of software for the remote interaction of large groups of co-workers and the management of the projects they attend to. Of course, in a number of industries and specialities, it is impossible to make do without personal communication or people being physically present at the workplace. However, where remote work had been possible, modern society was nevertheless held back by an envious conservatism.
This pervasive inertia was also dictated by perceptions of status. For example, the status of a company without an office, in the eyes of customers or partners, may well compare poorly with the usual “office” setup featuring an on-site staff. In the perception of managers, the very notion of the availability of jobs and visual control is a familiar attribute of status and influence. It’s also more common for employees to “go to work” and identify the home as personal space rather than as a work space. Prior to 2020, there were many business pioneers who had nevertheless mastered new forms of work. Online services are firmly established in the commercial sector and are even provided by clumsy government agencies. However, prior to the current crisis, a radical change had not occurred. This change is very real today. And COVID-19 provides an excellent pretext.
Within several weeks, and possibly for a period lasting months, many organisations in Russia and abroad will have to switch to remote work. The economy is already suffering enormous losses.
Remote forms of work represent a suitable means to preserve the activities of many enterprises and structures, where the specificity of their work allows. The longer the quarantine and the need for isolation, the more habitual (but still not widely accepted) methods of organisation will become a habit. The worse the impact of the crisis on the economy, the more incentives business will have to cut costs. Costs for expensive offices and work infrastructure are a primary concern. Why pay extra if other ways of organising labour are possible? The epidemic will simply force the mass testing and implementation of such forms, zeroing out or changing the status representations of the past. In the near future, companies that do not move to a new organisation, where it is physically possible, may become a black sheep.
It’s also possible that employees may demand changes. They stand to gain more time – many modern cities force their working population to spend several hours a day just commuting to work. But here a chain reaction will take place in other areas of human life. Changes will alter the very ratio between personal and work spaces. Modern man will have to face ultramodern and pre-modern structures simultaneously. The ultramodern structure comes with the new technology. However, it is accompanied by a pre-modern context – workers will need to return to the traditional form of separation between home and work. The modern city, with its limited living space, is simply unsuitable for such a symbiosis. The capitalist logic of cutting costs and introducing new technologies is likely to lead to tremendous frustration and psychological discomfort. The institution of the family will have to be changed. People will be forced to re-learn how to spend time with each other; not just during weekends, but all their free and non-free time in general. A significant increase in the number of divorces in China against the backdrop of the COVID-19 epidemic is an alarming symptom. However, new realities can lead over time to the creation of a more comfortable urban and domestic environment. Why huddle in a cramped and noisy city if you can work with the same success in a country house or a more comfortable space? They may revisit the question of national borders and migration. Access to brains and competencies abroad will be much easier. The brain drain will also happen quickly.
If changes proceed from such a scenario, they will have serious consequences for the functioning of the system of government and state institutions. Modern technology provides great opportunities for social control. Until now, private and public life have been quite rigidly separated by morality and law. Technically, the state could have long ago entered into the personal space of many citizens. Businesses have moved a little further in this direction, with their targeted advertising and other activity based on the data mining of social networks. Now this intrusiveness may become the norm. “Control over the body” or an all-pervasive micropower, about which Michel Foucault once wrote, threatens to take on new gravitas. The state of “alarming supervision” – a feeling of constant surveillance (which could be carried out sporadically and for completely pragmatic reasons) becomes a real possibility in such a society.
In turn, the organization of the nature of power will also generate new forms of politics, including methods of self-organization, proliferation of ideas, protest or other behavior. The combination of such changes with transformations of the urban environment and lifestyle can produce bizarre and non-linear results that are far beyond the imagination of science fiction writers.

Coronavirus and return of boundary
A simple look at the atmosphere of the world in recent days shows the return of boundary again. Boundaries have now become supporters of geographical areas against coronavirus in various forms and scales. Yes, the boundaries have returned again, not only at the national level (between countries) but also at lower scales (the boundary between provinces and cities). Prior to the spread of coronavirus, there were two approaches to boundary control. The first approach, which has even more supporters, believes that with the advent of globalization, boundaries have disappeared and we live in a world without boundaries. The second approach is that boundaries will not disappear and will not go away and that a world without boundaries is not only possible but also unthinkable. With the return of boundaries due to coronavirus, it seems that the latter approach could again become the dominant discourse in the field of boundary studies. To understand this approach one needs to be able to understand the nature of existence and function of boundaries.
The existential nature of boundaries: Boundaries are spatial-geographic phenomena that act as the reality of all our threads. They shape our spaces of presence and activity in various ways, separating and connecting us with others. They are so close to us that they sometimes merge into us and make us less likely to feel the need to study them and ask them philosophical questions. What are the boundaries? Why do boundaries form? Are boundaries specific to humans? And questions like that …. To answer these questions, which are based on the philosophical nature of boundaries, requires extensive understanding in the field of boundary studies. To answer these questions, scholars have offered different and sometimes conflicting views on the philosophical nature of boundaries. Despite the different perspectives, it can be said that the concept of boundary is derived from difference. The difference between two people, two phenomena, and two countries that are in contact, resulting in a common chapter or point of contact between them is called the boundary between them. These separating lines are the factors that represent the philosophical nature of the formation of boundaries and form the basis for the creation of boundaries in its various shapes, types and levels. The factors that shape the existence of the boundary at different scales are:
– The inherent difference between humans (groups, countries, etc)
– Identity differences between people (groups, countries, etc.)
– Security of people (groups, countries, etc.)
– Separation of human interests (groups, countries, etc.)
– Separation of human territory (groups, countries, etc.)
– Separation of sovereignty (groups, countries, etc.)
The existence of boundaries is based on the existence of human beings, so we can say that boundaries do not disappear at all, and the discussion of a world without boundary is no more a legend. Because the factors that shape the existential nature of the boundary do not disappear. For example, the security of each individual, each group, and each country takes precedence over the security of others, and so the boundaries are an integral part of geographical space. But what has changed in geography that has led to the notion that boundaries have disappeared? It should be noted that what has changed are the functions of boundaries. Boundaries generally have two types of functions as follows:
A) Intrinsic function: This part of the boundary functions is derived from the inherent nature of the boundaries and is present at all boundaries at different scales including the national scale and does not change over time and does not disappear permanently until there is a need for the country to preserve its existence in the political arena of the world. The most important of these inherent functions of boundaries are: security function; identity function; land separation function; interest separation function; separation of sovereignty function; separation of ownership function.
B) Acquired function: The functions described in this section are given in accordance with the time, needs and goals of the country, technological developments, etc., as time passes or changes in goals and existing needs or technologies change, fade, or disappear completely. The most important of these acquired functions of the borders are: barrier function; legitimization function; economic function; nationalization function and etc.
In sum, coronavirus reminds us again that boundaries at different scales are integral to geographic spaces, because the intrinsic functions of the boundaries are not eliminated but are more stable than ever before and only the acquired functions of the borders have been changed so that the actors can systematically manage their relationships with other actors by managing them. With the slightest challenge to shatter its existential nature (such as coronavirus, which has shattered the security nature of boundaries), they will return stronger and more complex than ever before, turning the global space into a confined space.

BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. (WALA) – It’s been a week since the historic flooding, and unfortunately, in some areas, those floodwaters have not receded.
One area in particular is along Fort Morgan Road in Baldwin County.
CROSS THE LAWN, GET IN A BOAT
Michael Poynter holds on to a rope as his wife and granddaughter climb down their front porch stairs.
Tthat’s because they’re all climbing into a boat, just to get across their front lawn.
Poynter said their front yard has been flooded by as much as three and a half feet of water since heavy rains early last week.
He said, “The little yellow boat, it kind of wobbles a little bit. You get more than one person in there, it’s kind of hard to keep it balanced.”
WIFE’S CAR FLOODED
Poynter has kept a good sense of humor about his daily effort to get to his car on dry land.
But, he said his wife’s car is a total loss because of the water.
When asked what she thought about the flooding, Deborah Poynter, Michael Poynter’s wife, said, “I hate it. I want my car back.”
And, that’s just the beginning of the problems caused by the flooding.
Michael Poynter said, “It has just covered everything that is vital to living out here. Our grinder system is underwater, so, the plumbing is all messed up. The garage is flooded, We still have two feet of water in the garage. Our main concern now is mold and mildew.”
Poynter said the water has not been able to drain quickly enough from his property, and he’s not sure why.
That has also brought some uninvited guests to his yard.
When asked what’s seen in the water, Poynter said, “So far, its been the water moccasins, and we have five alligators around here now. (The) largest one is about five foot.”
Madison Hollis, Poynter’s Granddaughter, was asked what she thought about the flooding.
She said, “I don’t like it. it’s horrible.”
They say misery loves company, and, in this case, the Poynter family has some.
The couple who lives in the mobile home next door also has a flooded yard.
Poynter is waiting for FEMA officials to inspect his property.
In the meantime, Poynter said, “I’m pretty much done with rain right now.”

Poor Helena Bonham Carter--ever since the Golden Globes shoe fiasco, the press won't stop hounding her about her style.
Asked at yesterday's nominees luncheon what she'll be wearing to the Oscars, the Best Actress contender and eccentric fashionista told the U.K.'s Telegraph, "I have no idea...It's probably going to be a catastrophe."
What HBC does know is that her footwear won't be so controversial: "I promise I'll wear the same colored shoes," she said.
So even though it's probably going to come down to the wire for the admittedly indecisive star, one thing's for sure: It will be interesting. There's a never a dull moment with this lady on the red carpet!
Are you excited to see Helena's Oscar look? Weigh in below!

DENVER - The fracking (hydraulic fracturing) bans in Fort Collins and Lafayette have prompted legal action from the Colorado Oil & Gas Association (COGA).
A COGA spokesperson calls the bans illegal. COGA's Doug Flanders says that's because the Colorado Supreme Court has "ruled that oil and gas development, which must employ hydraulic fracturing or fracking, supersedes local laws and cannot be banned."
"It is regrettable and unfortunate that COGA had to take this action. There are over 100,000 families that rely on the oil and gas industry for their livelihoods and these bans effectively stop oil and gas development," Tisha Schuller, President and CEO of COGA, said. "With 95 percent of all wells in Colorado hydraulically fractured, any ban on fracking is a ban on oil and gas development, and the State Supreme Court has clearly stated bans are illegal in Colorado."
Michael Bellmont, a member of 'Our Health, Our Future, Our Longmont,' contends that the city of Longmont has a constitutional right to ban fracking to protect public health.
"A rational, conscientious person will actively protect the health and well being of their loved ones and their community from any activity that has been repeatedly proven to be dangerous," Bellmont said. "Such reasonable action by mothers, fathers, grandparents, teachers, nurses, business owners, etc. can be seen as extreme only from the perpetrators of such threatening activities that stand to gain financially from their dangerous operations."
"That COGA has had to take this action further demonstrates the huge disservice self-described 'fractivists' have done to our communities in promoting energy bans. Instead of working constructively with industry and city leaders, extremists have used fear and misinformation to lure cities into passing bans which they know are illegal and will cost staff time and taxpayer money," Schuller added. "If there was any other way to deal with the blatant illegality of these bans, our members would certainly pursue it."
'Our Health, Our Future, Our Longmong' spearheaded a ballot measure last year. The November 2012 election resulted in a vote by the people to amend the city charter to ban fracking. The measure passed by approximately 60 percent. The 2013 vote was much closer, prompting COGA's legal action.
"I am a responsible citizen, business owner, community member and father who worked long hours on the Longmont fracking ban without compensation to actively protect my family and community," Bellmont said. "I have met hundreds of similar concerned citizens around the state that have given of themselves without remuneration in the interest of their communities. We would rather be spending that time at home with our families and earning our living. The tragedy is that, the recent hard earned citizen initiatives to restrict fracking are a necessary last resort born out of the frustration of having a government, supposedly charged with the protection of the people, that actually promotes this proven dangerous industrial activity next to our schools, homes, and places of recreation."
Bellmont is working hard to fight against the property rights claim.
"COGA, Governor Hickenlooper, and the COGCC all loudly proclaim that the singular property rights of mineral interest holders trump all other rights of citizens, even in time honored self determining Home Rule Communities like Fort Collins, Longmont, Lafayette, and Boulder," Bellmont said.
All aspects of drilling, including fracking, is regulated in Colorado. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) is the lead agency for oil and gas oversight.
"We recognize and appreciate that citizens of Fort Collins and Lafayette are concerned about the safety of their environment. As fellow Coloradans raising our families here, so are we. Civic leaders and public officials across the state have said a ban is one of the most irresponsible ways to address public concerns over energy development," Schuller said.
The City of Fort Collins put a five-year ban on all fracking within city limits. Therefore, there is a conflict between the city's ban and state law. COGA argues that Fort Collins has no constitutional authority to implement regulations on oil and gas development, including fracking.
Flanders says that according to the state Supreme Court - "Colorado law preempts the local regulations when an issue constitutes a mixed state and local concern."

The eastern Euphrates area in Syria topped the news headlines at the end of 2020, as Turkey’s Operation Peace Spring against the Kurds shuffled the cards and opened the way to a multilateral rivalry seeking to control the most important area in Syria. The Russians, Turks and Americans have been actively striving to reinforce their military presence in the area, which is around one-third of the Syrian surface area. Most of it is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by the US-led international coalition, which are working to cement an understanding with the Russians to prevent new Turkish intervention in the area.
A French envoy visited in early April the northeast of Syria and met with several Kurdish, Arab and Syriac figures, and extended an invitation to the representatives of these components in the SDF-controlled area to visit the Elysee Palace in Paris to discuss the Syrian situation. The visit was followed in mid-April by a similar visit to Qamishli by a French Foreign Ministry delegation. French President Emmanuel Macron had welcomed in April 2019 an SDF delegation and declared offering financial support to cover the humanitarian needs and ensure the stability of the social and economic situation in Syria.
In this context, a member of the Kurdish National Council told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity, “The parties that received the French invitation during the French envoy’s visit to eastern Syria included the Democratic Union Party [PYD] and the Kurdish National Council. This triggered a political brawl between the two biggest Kurdish political groups regarding the members of the delegation that would meet with Macron."
The source noted, "The PYD is trying to control the delegation, while we are requesting equal representation between both parties. Although the idea of the visit is still under discussion, it has not been approved yet. We are working on developing ties with France through mutual dialogue about different issues of the Syrian situation. We consider France as a friend of the Syrian people with all its components, and it was behind the initiative to resolve the inter-Kurdish disputes two years ago.”
Hasan al-Nifi, an independent political analyst who writes for several local newspapers and lives in Turkey, told Al-Monitor, “The French interest in the northeast of Syria did not appear overnight, but it actually dates back to 2015, since the formation of the SDF, when France was the main supporter of that project. But the Americans at the time managed to keep France out of the equation through their military coordination with the SDF. This coordination culminated in an alliance, when Washington decided that the SDF would be its executive arm in the fight against the Islamic State."
He said, "Yet France did not steer clear of the SDF but sent 200 soldiers to the Tishreen Dam base south of Manbij, which is controlled by the United States. France tried to justify the presence of its soldiers there and claimed they have scientific and training missions rather than direct combat purposes. France also believed that its presence in that area must be based on solid steps that begin with consolidating the relationship with the popular bases there, which is exactly what France wants through its recent invitation to all components to the Elysee.”
Macron’s invitation to the Kurds to visit Paris reveals France’s intention to compete for presence in the Middle East, after the United States took a step back in some matters. The French moves in northeastern Syria also indicate that Paris is seeking a foothold in the most important area in the country, amid the regional and international rivalry over influence in Syria.
Mostafa Mostafa, a researcher at the NMA Center for Contemporary Research who lives in Azaz in the northwest of Syria, told Al-Monitor, “France was supporting [the option of] toppling the Syrian regime, which it considered an enemy deserving punishment ever since the assassination of late Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. But France could not wage single-handedly a military attack to topple the regime. The American stance on it under Barack Obama was disappointing. What’s more, France was not influential in the Syrian conflict because it did not have tools and power among the strong parties operating on the ground — be they armed groups or political or social forces.”
He added, “The recent French step aims at reviving its absent role in a country that is historically known to be one of the French influence areas. Perhaps another reason falls under the Western efforts to pressure Russia, as France is among the countries that are most concerned about Russia’s attempts to reclaim its international status. The return of the Cold War setting and the troubled waters in Europe as a whole will highlight Europeans’ pressing need for American protection.”
Firas Alawi, a France-based Syrian journalist and editor-in-chief of Al-Sharq news, told Al-Monitor, “France wants to bolster its influence in Syria and the only area fit for that geographically and geopolitically is the northeast, because it is on the US’ side in the coalition and the de facto authorities [SDF] there are close to France. Besides the eastern Euphrates area is rich in wealths, and it is promising in the reconstruction phase. France had commercial businesses in the oil-rich areas before the revolution. Since it is against the Syrian regime and Russia, it has no place in Damascus or other regime-controlled areas. And due to its tensions with Turkey, it cannot set foot in northwest Syria.”
He said, “France is trying to capitalize on the return of the US role or the military repositioning of US forces in the Middle East — namely in Iraq and Syria — to replace it. France wants to be a key player in Syria, just like Russia, Iran and Turkey. It does not want to remain on the back burner in Syria. France wants to ensure permanent presence in the region and make up for its dwindling role in Lebanon due to the Iranian influence there. For that reason, it is drawing closer to [Prime Minister Mustafa al-] Kadhimi’s government in Iraq, and it has invited the components of eastern Syria to Paris.”

Successful workshop on solar irrigation in Bolivia
As part of the GIZ project “NEXUS – Water, Energy, Food Security”, a total of 36 participants were trained in a workshop on solar irrigation lasting several days in September 2018. The workshop took place in the Universidad Católica Boliviana (La Paz) and was attended by local and international experts, researchers and students as well as members of Bolivian institutions and authorities (e.g. Ministry of Environment and Water). The participants shall serve as multipliers by integrating the gained knowledge into their daily work.
The contents of the workshop included the topics renewable energies, description of typical photovoltaic applications with focus on agriculture, description and characterization of solar water pumps, irrigation needs and techniques, water needs, planning and design of solar irrigation systems, economic evaluation and financing of solar irrigation systems, description and practical application of the tool box “Solar powered irrigation systems” as well as practical applications and design of solar pump and irrigation systems.
The workshop can be classified as a success. More than half of the participants stated in an evaluation that they could apply the acquired knowledge in their field of work and all participants stated to be satisfied or very satisfied with the results of the workshop. As a result of the discussion between members of various stake holders the potential for solar irrigation in Bolivia could be classified as very high.
The workshop is one of several training cycles within the GIZ project “NEXUS – Water, Energy, Food Security”. This project, which runs from August 2017 to October 2019, includes workshops of this kind as well as the development of management models and financing concepts for two selected pilot projects with Nexus character and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).
AKUT has been commissioned to provide advice for a multi-purpose dam project (Misicuni). A water distribution plan is to be elaborated in order to balance out the water use between agricultural use (irrigation), drinking water supply and secure energy production.
The adaptation to climate change (e.g. reduction of the available quantity of water, increased need for irrigation) shall be achieved through the development of proposals for the management of the limited resource of water with the various user groups.
A GIS-based open-source information system is to be set up in order to present and design the water supply and distribution in a transparent manner.
Another important objective of the project is poverty reduction. Solar irrigation should contribute to this by reducing water and energy consumption. In addition, poverty is to be reduced by reforestation and the introduction of agroforestry systems to sustainably improve land use in the upper reaches of catchment areas.

Modification of industrial waste water treatment plant ensures phosphate discharge value
Companies that discharge production waste water into the sewage system (indirect dischargers) must comply with the discharge limit values of the respective wastewater utilities. If limit values are tightened the challenge is to develop particularly economical solutions that avoid the installation of a complete new wastewater treatment plant. AKUT was assigned to develop a solution for a similar situation regarding the wastewater discharge of the phosphating plant at Robert Bosch Automotive Steering GmbH in Berlin-Wittenau.
Current studies show that the implementation of technical adaptation and optimization measures at the chemical-physical waste water treatment plant has been successful in regards to tightened limit values. The measured total phosphate values in the discharge of the cleaning plant after the conversion have dropped to 90 percent less than the new limit values for discharge into the sewer system of Berliner-Wasserbetriebe (BWB).
The effluent limits for total phosphate were reduced to 50 mg/l by BWB beforehand.
Robert Bosch Automotive Steering GmbH had then decided to technically convert the existing plant for the removal of metal ions from wastewater to ensure compliance with the reduced phosphate discharge limit value.
AKUT Partner designed the cost-effective adaptation solution after an intensive assessment.
By converting, technically supplementing and optimizing the existing treatment plant, the phosphate is (now in addition to the previously precipitated metal ions) precipitated with automatically dosed lime and separated from the wastewater in an existing chamber filter press.
The contract included that the selected plant concept has been supervised and monitored until final acceptance and commissioning.
As requested by the customer the TÜV approval of the now semi-automatically operated chemical-physical wastewater treatment plant passed the plant without imposing any additional requirements.
Other relevant effects of the extensive automation of the wastewater treatment process are time savings for the operating personal and a reduction of the electric energy demand.
The low investment costs (compared to the installation of a new wastewater treatment plant) and the positive effects on operating costs increase the overall profitability of the phosphating plant in Berlin-Wittenau.

Conversion of sewage gas into electricity in South Africa
Overall, the framework conditions in South Africa for the generation of electricity from sewage gas are rather difficult. The remuneration for feed-in from renewable energies is fixed at auctions, this procedure prefers scalable technologies such as photovoltaics. Biogas, on the other hand, is limited by the availability of raw materials. This restriction applies in particular to the conversion of sewage and landfill gases into electricity. The unique selling point of biogas, simple storage and power generation at peak times, is also not affected by this process of auctioning.
Thus, the only economically decisive factor on the South African energy market is the savings in own electricity consumption. The current electricity prices of around 1.20 rand/kWh (around 0.08 €/kWh) are low by German standards. However, the electricity price has multiplied since 2007: at that time, it was 0.013 €/kWh. In addition, annual price increases of 10% have been announced.
In this field of tension AKUT was commissioned by the Deutschen Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to prepare two studies on the use of sewage gas for the two sewage treatment plants Kingstonvalle and Zeekoegat.
Economic plus ecological advantages
Against the current background of water scarcity in Cape Town, the relevance and explosive nature of the topic becomes very clear. The lack of rainfall is primarily attributed to climate change. The studies therefore identify emission reductions, in this case reductions in methane emissions, as a significant advantage in addition to economic advantages. At present, the gas produced by sewage sludge digestion is released into the atmosphere without further measures. This is now to be changed so that the gas is collected, processed and used for power generation.
The studies present detailed comparisons of various technical components, operating models and organisational forms. In both sewage treatment plants, the economic benefit can be maximised by optimising the utilisation of the existing digestion towers. Capacity utilisation is to be increased by adding so-called co-substrates, either digested sludge from neighbouring sewage treatment plants or waste from the agricultural industry. The latter could be identified by local AKUT employees so that specific modelling could be carried out, taking into account both the biogas potential and transport costs.
Economically reasonable are also the variants with an exclusive treatment of the sewage sludge of the sewage treatment plant. However, the then lower investments will lead to a slight reduction in profitability.
In addition to the technical components and the various operational management, operator models from in-house operation to BOT models were also examined. Two preference variants were determined from six different operator models.
The decision now lies in the field of politics. Should the measures be implemented? Which of the preferred variants is preferred? GIZ and AKUT are ready to continue to support the City of Tshwane and Mbombela municipalities – both in decision-making and in technical implementation.

A new AI tool is predicting the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, faster than current leading tools. According to a report by Phys.org, the AI is even able to predict these functions when the enzymes are either unstudied or poorly understood. Called CLEAN, by beating out learning tools in accuracy, reliability, and sensitivity, the AI can help usher in a new wave of research in chemistry, industrial materials, medicine, and more.
The way other computational tools work is they attempt to predict enzyme functions by assigning a commission number, or ID code. This indicates what kind of reaction an enzyme catalyzes by comparing the query sequence with a pre-existing catalog of known enzymes and the finding of similar sequences. But the problem with this approach is that these tools lack the ability to do well against less-studied or uncharacterized enzymes or with enzymes that hold multiple roles. This is exactly where CLEAN excels.
Comparing the AI tool to ChatGPT, study leader Huimin Zhao, a University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering said, “Just like ChatGPT uses data from written language to create predictive text, we are leveraging the language of proteins to predict their activity…Almost every researcher, when working with a new protein sequence, wants to know right away what the protein does. In addition, when making chemicals for any application—biology, medicine, industry—this tool will help researchers quickly identify the proper enzymes needed for the synthesis of chemicals and materials.”
Though not the first tool to utilize AI to predict enzyme commission numbers, CLEAN is the first to use a deep learning algorithm called contrastive learning to predict enzyme function. Saying of this new algorithm, Zhao said, “We cannot guarantee everyone’s product will be correctly predicted, but we can get higher accuracy than the other two or other three methods.” In their paper, the team did verify the claim and also found that the algorithm was able to correct enzyme mislabeling.
Currently, the group is making CLEAN accessible online for other researchers who are looking to do work characterizing an enzyme or determine whether an enzyme could catalyze a desired reaction. “We hope that this tool will be used widely by the broad research community,” Zhao said. “With the web interface, researchers can just enter the sequence in a search box, like a search engine, and see the results.”
Finally, in addressing the overall hopes for CLEAN, Zhao stated, “We want to predict the functions of all proteins so that we can know all the proteins a cell has and better study or engineer the whole cell for biotechnology or biomedical applications.”

My mom made the most wonderful home baked bread when I was a kid that I never appreciated. I wanted the sliced stuff out of the package. Then I married my current wife and she is also a great cook and baker. She also made the most wonderful home baked bread and I loved it. It was great tasting.
But I just can't eat it any more. I love it, but it doesn't love me back. It spikes the sugar in my blood and makes my belly big. Good while it lasted. :-)

This week I have become somewhat engrossed (again) by the rising tide of COVID, the increase in people needing ICU beds and the fear that we won’t have enough – beds, people resources, people vaccinated – to stop the rising tide. Thoughts of “when will it all end” float in my head.
Our dreams are often filtered through what we think is possible for us to achieve. If we want more substantial dreams, and I do, we need to change the way we think about ourselves and about our capacity. We need to increase our tolerance for disappointment, uncertainty and discomfort. We also need to surround ourselves with the right people.
This week I’ve been made aware again that it’s often the small things that make the difference between feeling like things are going well and they’re not or feeling like you’re coping or you’re not.

My baby ducklings are now outside full time. My house is duck free until another hen gets broody again. Ten of these can stink up a brooder box fast. This time we have left them outside instead of the coop. At night they have a large crate to sleep in that locks and my dog to keep out predators. They will stay in the nursery yard a bit longer. They will soon be big enough to go into the coop and join the flock. They share their yard with our indoor adult bunny during the day.
Food, mint, straw and pool make ducklings very happy.
This week my dog brought me this tasty rabbit nugget. I get these rabbits babies once in a while from my barn cat and in worse shape. I told my dog to drop it and I looked it over, it was unharmed. I looked all over for the nest and old warrens but no sign of a doe nor nest. So with slim chances I brought it in and hit the web for info about care and feeding. After some trial and errors we got him to eat. I still give it low chances, but so far so good. KMR, probiotic and a heating pad and quiet room/cage are working well for this wild creature. Oh and they can jump far and fast so we keep it on the ground for all feedings. He will be set free once he is eating greens and off the KMR. Wild rabbits are very different from domesticated ones. Luckily, we have a lot of experience raising rabbits and we have the time to care for it.
This is a monster mega Rouen duck egg. These ducks lay big eggs but this is a really big one.
Here is the egg in a jumbo carton with jumbo chicken eggs. I can't even get the egg partition to close in the fridge.

- ANDERSTON, a burgh, and lately a quoad sacra parish, consisting of part of Barony parish, in the suburbs of the city of Glasgow, county of Lanark, 1 mile (W.) from Glasgow; containing 3759 inhabitants. This place derives its name from its founder, Mr. John Anderston, of Stobcross, who, in 1725, formed the plan of a village, and divided the lands of one of his most unproductive farms into building lots, thus laying the foundation of a very considerable suburb to the city. It is on the north side of the river Clyde, and though of irregular form, and comparatively less modern appearance than others of the suburban districts, it contains many well-built and handsome houses; the lands to the north are chiefly garden-ground, and on the banks of the river are several pleasing villas, inhabited by some of the most opulent merchants of Glasgow. A considerable part of the population are employed in the cotton manufacture, in the iron-foundries, and in the production of machinery; many are mariners, belonging to the port, and there are several shops of various kinds, for the supply of the inhabitants.The town was erected into a burgh of barony, by royal charter, in 1824, and the district, which includes parts of the lands of Stobcross, Gushet, Parsonscroft, and Rankenshaugh, is wholly within the parliamentary boundary of the city of Glasgow. The government is vested in a provost, three bailies, a treasurer, and eleven councillors, annually elected by the burgesses; the bailies and treasurer from the councillors, and the provost from the burgesses generally. The magistrates exercise civil jurisdiction in pleas not exceeding 40 shillings in amount, and criminal jurisdiction in all cases within the Police act; courts for the former are held weekly, or every alternate week, and for the latter four times in the week; in both of which, the town-clerk acts as assessor. The burgesses, on admission, pay a fee of £2. 2. The corporation have power to hold a weekly market and two annual fairs; the fairs were formerly held, but they have been discontinued. The parish was formed in 1834; the minister's stipend is £300, derived from the seat-rents, of which £80 are secured by bond. The church was originally built as a chapel of ease, in 1799, at a cost of £2500, raised by subscription, and has been subsequently repaired; it is a neat structure, and contains 1246 sittings, A school for this parish, and for that of St. Mark, has been erected at an expense of £1700, of which £850 were subscribed by the two parishes, and the remainder granted by the treasury; it is a spacious building, containing three schools, attended by 600 children paying very moderate fees. There is also a Free church.

02 February 2018 :
an Egyptian military court issued preliminary death sentenced against eight defendants on a charge of murdering a senior police officer in Cairo in 2015.
The court referred the eight defendants to the Grand Mufti, the country’s top religious authority, for his opinion on the sentences. The Mufti is usually consulted before death sentences become final. His opinion is, however, not binding. Defendants in the case include prominent Islamic scholar Yusef Al-Qaradawi, who heads the International Union for Muslim Scholars, as well as senior members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The case includes 52 defendants, eight of whom were handed down preliminary death sentences. Wael Tahoun, the head of the notorious police station of Matariya in Cairo, was assassinated in 2015. Human rights organisations and activists said that detainees were tortured to death in the police facility he supervised.
The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, commonly known as EIPR, described the police station as a “slaughterhouse.” The court accused the defendants of membership in an outlawed group, in reference to the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as seeking to obstruct the operation of state institutions and violation of citizens’ rights. The military court set 17th January for issuing a final ruling in the case.
