Original Dutch film title:
Experimental film about a philosophical inquiry.
In his flat in the suburbs, Mr Schrödinger enters a life after this one, a life outside of the reality of mirrors. In a classroom children are preoccupied with the question if something can exist if it cannot be seen.
On a windy autumn day, Mr Schrödinger goes shopping and then returns to his apartment in the concrete jungle of Amsterdam’s Bijlmermeer.
Simultaneously, a philosophical problem is explained to a class full of children using an allegorical story: an evil wizard puts a cat in a box. He closes the box and opens a tap to allow poison gas to enter through a tube.
The teacher then asks the children what they can say about what happens in the box, but without opening it. At that moment. Mt Schrödinger has a heart attack in his apartment and dies.
Most children think the cat is dead, but the teacher explains that if you can’t see something with your own eyes, you can’t be certain of what has happened. Some philosophers even suggest the cat is dead and alive at the same time.
In the meantime, the soul of Schrödinger is fighting to escape. It fails and ends up in front of a mirror, but there is no reflection. In confusion, it falls through the mirror on a journey past random fragments from daily life in the city. His voice continues to haunt a transmission frequency and when he tries to make contact with reality, we sometimes even hear it from a radio. We see where the soul wants to be. We hear other sounds than those implied by the pictures.
The tornado of confusing situations evokes the intense desire to be helped in Mr Schrödinger’s soul, but first his body has to be found.
In the end it is the children (or are they angels?) in their games who will help Schrödinger’s soul to achieve his end.

DENVER, Aug. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Walmart, the Walmart Foundation and the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM), kicked off a new chapter in the modern American manufacturing story today as the global retailer announced the first grant recipients of the Walmart U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Fund's $10 million commitment at the 2nd U.S. Manufacturing Summit in Denver. The summit is bringing together manufacturers suppliers, governors and mayors from across 42 states.
Seven leading research and development institutions were awarded a total of $4 million in grants to create new processes, ideas, and job creation that will foster America's growing manufacturing footprint. The fund, which focuses on the development of domestic manufacturing with a specific goal of advancing the production or assembly of consumer products in the U.S., will provide a total of $10 million in grants over the next five years.
"Innovation is part of the heart and soul of Walmart," said Michelle Gloeckler, Walmart's executive president of consumables and U.S. manufacturing. "By investing in American ingenuity originating everywhere from the research lab to the assembly line, we can transform our approach to manufacturing to be more cost-effective and efficient. We can bring more jobs and more production back into American communities."
The grant recipients were selected for their ability to address two key areas that currently present barriers to increased domestic manufacturing:
- Reducing the cost of textiles manufacturing, including home textiles and apparel, in the U.S. by addressing obstacles throughout production.
- Improving common manufacturing processes with broad application to many types of consumer products.
"It's only fitting to work with the nation's largest retailer on this initiative, a company that is committed to U.S. manufacturing and creating more jobs to help boost the U.S. economy," said Kevin Johnson, President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and mayor of Sacramento. "The projects recognized today are some of the best ways we've seen to bring American manufacturing into the Cities 3.0 era, helping to create hubs of innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology. Cities 3.0 is the next era of the American city, where cities are becoming the laboratories and incubators of change by supporting projects like the ones recognized today."
The 2014 Walmart U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Fund grant winners are:
- Georgia Tech Research Corporation for innovation of thread-count-based fabric motion control, a critical enabling technology for the automated production of sewn goods.
- Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) to advance and accelerate the industrial implementation of metal 3-D printing for the manufacturing of plastic injection tooling as an alternative to current metal-shaping practices.
- North Carolina State University College of Textiles to address challenges to manufacturing of furniture cushions in the U.S. by implementing new technologies in both fabric printing and cut-and-sew automation.
- Oregon State University to develop two novel alternative mold fabricating approaches, and evaluate for functionality, precision and cost reduction potential.
- Texas Tech University to support collaborative research on cotton breeding and biotechnology, cotton production, and various aspects of textile manufacturing, dyeing efficiency and specialty finishes.
- University of Texas at Arlington to develop a novel manufacturing system that will autonomously prepare small motor sub-systems and assemble the motor components.
- University of Georgia Research Foundation to develop an innovative approach to fabric dyeing that will greatly reduce, and perhaps eliminate, the need for water in dyeing cotton and cotton/polyester fabrics and yarns.
The Innovation Fund is another milestone in Walmart's broader commitment to help revitalize U.S.-based manufacturing. In January 2013, Walmart announced the retailer would buy an additional $250 billion in products supporting American manufacturing and American jobs by 2023.
Together, these commitments represent a significant investment that will help accelerate the pace of U.S. manufacturing. By making production in the U.S. more cost effective and efficient, the global retailer believes it can bring American consumers an increasing number of American-made products and ultimately create more jobs in communities across the country.

Hawk’s head coach Jen Rizzotti and her USA Basketball assistant coaches Sue Semrau (Florida State) and Joi Williams (Central Florida) firmed up their 12-member roster for the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship following an exhibition against Brazil. The U.S., three-time defending champions, will look to defend its gold medal at this year’s championship scheduled for July 21-31 in Puerto Montt and Puerto Veras, Chile.

"This was very difficult and that's a credit to the girls, how hard they worked and how committed they were in their desire to want to be on the team," said Rizzotti. "It makes this process really hard. I'm excited about finally being down to 12 and thinking over the next few weeks about what I can do with this group of kids to make sure we are as prepared as we can be heading down to Chile and try to win a gold medal."
In an announcement on USA Basketball’s website following the game, the final 12-man roster for the 2011 Championship was announced.

German auto maker Daimler and rideshare giant Uber have announced an agreement on their intent to cooperate on the supply and operation of self-driving Mercedes-Benz vehicles, with Daimler also planning to introduce self-driving vehicles on Uber’s global ridesharing network in the coming years.
Daimler is the first auto company to join with Uber as it opens up its platform for manufacturers to introduce their own self-driving cars. With its new corporate strategy entitled CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared & services, and Electric), Mercedes is marking out the cornerstones for its future success and the reshaping of mobility. The company sees the new agreement as the next step into the future of shared and autonomous driving. The new Mercedes E-Class is the world’s first series-production vehicle to be awarded a test license for autonomous driving in the US state of Nevada. With its Highway Pilot system, Daimler Trucks is now the world’s first truck manufacturer with plans to develop an autonomous driving system for use in commercial vehicles.
Uber has assembled a strong self-driving engineering group with its Advanced Technologies Group, which is testing self-driving vehicles on the road in the USA, and Uber’s Otto division is also working on self-driving trucks. Uber has valuable experience that comes from running a ridesharing and delivery network across 74 countries, so it is envisaged that each company will benefit from the other’s industry-leading capabilities in research and development of autonomous driving and network operations.
“As the inventor of the automobile, Daimler aims to be a leader in autonomous driving, one of the most fascinating aspects of reinventing mobility,” said Dieter Zetsche, chairman of Daimler’s board and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars. “Mobility service providers offer an ideal platform for autonomous driving technology, and Uber is a leading mobility platform company. The real revolution in future mobility lies in intelligently linking the four major trends we call CASE: connectivity, autonomous driving, sharing and electric mobility. And we will certainly be the driver of these changes.”
Travis Kalanick, CEO and co-founder of Uber, commented, “Self-driving technology holds the promise of creating cities that are safer, cleaner and more accessible. But we can’t get to that future alone. That’s why we’re opening up the Uber platform to auto manufacturers like Daimler. By combining Daimler’s and Uber’s technological strengths, more people can get access to reliable transportation at the push of a button.”
Kalanick gave further views on the partnership in a blog posting where he said, “Auto manufacturers are crucial to our strategy because Uber has no experience making cars, and in fact, making cars is really hard. That’s why instead of building them ourselves, we want to partner with the best auto manufacturers in the world. We can combine Uber’s global ridesharing network with the world-class vehicles of companies like Daimler, so that Uber riders can have a great experience getting around their cities. Last year in Berlin, Germany, Dieter (Zetsche) said that Daimler and Uber could be ‘frenemies’; in fact, we turned out to be great partners.”

Anyone who doubted Prince Harry’s ability to transform himself into a successful Hollywood producer could well be wrong.
When his five-part mental health docuseries “The Me You Can’t See” premiered on Apple TV + last week, there was a 25% increase in viewership on the streaming platform, according to a source close to Apple. It was so successful that in the following days a special of the series was announced , a debate in which Harry and co-producer Oprah Winfrey met with the participants and the experts of the original series to deepen on emotional well-being.
It is the first proof that the prince is worth the hundreds of millions of dollars that major streaming services have invested in Archewell Productions, the unit he created with his wife Meghan. It’s early days, but its success on Apple TV + is a positive sign. Of course, it will have helped to have a luxurious cast, with actress Glenn Close and singer Lady Gaga among the show’s participants sharing their own experiences of mental health.
The series also had a lot of coverage in the press about what he said about the royal family and the accusation that “the company”, with the media, discredited his wife. In the opening five-part series, Harry opened up about alcohol and drug use to cope with the trauma of his mother’s death and the pressures of royalty. In the UK, Apple’s average audience over the weekend increased by 40%, according to our source.
- Prince Harry says he drank and used drugs to avoid grief over Diana’s death
The next test for the Sussexes will be to show that they can make shows that gain audiences without mentioning their extended family. The pair can be bolstered by the fact that the “The Me You Can’t See” bonus episode only made passing references to royalty. Instead, at the end she made the most important point she wants to make: “My hope is that our series continues to inspire people around the world to take a more active and compassionate approach to healing, community and wellness, because truly we are all in this together”.
Given that the prince believes that mental health and climate change are “the two most pressing issues” facing society, we can assume that he will continue to pitch content ideas around them. They are, of course, important issues that people care about. While Harry and Meghan are not the first royals to come clean or advocate for social issues, these direct conversations with the couple show how the royal communication strategy is beginning to change as the media landscape evolves.
- Prince William criticizes the BBC for their 1995 interview with Lady Di
William and Kate have also rethought their communication plan on social media, and younger royals are increasingly connecting with the public through alternative platforms, such as streaming services, rather than through of traditional media, without registering an obvious decline in media coverage.
What Harry has to prove now is whether he can become an expert source on the issues he wants to advocate without attracting any real new revelations. For now, things seem to be going well.
Key quotes from the Duke of Sussex in the new documentary
On the challenges facing society:
“I believe even more that climate change and mental health are two of the most urgent problems we face and, in many ways, they are related. The connecting line has to do with our collective well-being, and when our collective well-being erodes, it affects our ability to ultimately care for ourselves, our communities, and our planet. ‘
On how to approach the debate on self-harm:
“A lot of people are afraid of being on the receiving end of that conversation (about suicide) because they don’t feel they have the right tools to be able to give the right advice, but what you are saying is that you are there… Listen, why listen and train part of that conversation is undoubtedly the best first step you can take. ‘
On the stigma attached to mental health:
“As parents and as siblings… certainly, from what I’ve learned, there is an element of shame that we feel because we are, like, ‘How come we didn’t realize it? How did we not know? How did you not feel comfortable enough to come to me and share it with me? We all know that when people are suffering or struggling, we are all incredibly good at covering it up for those who know we are covering it up.
On the “invisibility” of mental health:
«I have the feeling that many parents do not feel prepared to deal with these problems because many people think that there is a mental illness and then there is everything else … How can we collectively, as a society, prepare and make parents feel more comfortable and better equipped to be able to deal with daily stress or daily ignorance of what their children are going through, growing up in this world that we have allowed to create, which I think is making us sicker? »
On how the pandemic has affected opinions on mental health:
“Before covid, there was probably an ‘us and them’ situation when it came to mental illness. And now I think it’s just ‘us’.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, except, perhaps, for Coloradans.
Although 45 states They are celebrating the tranquility that comes from the decline in COVID-19 cases, this is not the case in the Centennial State. Here we are celebrating our personal freedoms from inconvenient precautionary measures with overflowing hospitals and weekly positivity rates nearing double digits.
The responsibility falls squarely on Colorado Republicans who refuse to advocate broadly for masks and vaccines, as well as Gov. Jared Polis, who continues to reject elementary state policies to reduce transmission. In combination, we are now completely failing in this pandemic and remain among the best states to coronavirus Infections
According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the cases between October 19 and 25 totaled 15,603. This brings the weekly moving average of cases as of yesterday to 2,229.
In The New York Times, the cases between the same dates add up to 17,840, which marks a difference of 2,237 additional cases. This brings the weekly moving average of cases notably higher than 2,548. The cases tracked by Johns Hopkins University and Medicine show that the cases most closely match the New York Times reports.
The lack of consistency is strange, although when asked, the CDPHE acknowledges that there may be some delay in the case numbers. Regardless of where exactly we fall on the spectrum of case counts, one thing is for sure: We are on a bleak trajectory heading into the holidays.
GET THE MORNING HEADLINES IN YOUR INBOX
When comparing case totals to this period from last year, we are generally on par or worse, depending on the case number data you use. The run up to the holidays is eerily similar to when Polis refused to take the necessary precautionary measures and ultimately launched the state into the worst rebound in the pandemic to date. Here again, without immediate significant efforts, we risk a similar fate.
Many have wondered why Colorado cases might be on the rise, yet it is no wonder. As vaccines remain well below levels needed to curb infections in most parts of the state, and Polis continues to reject basic viral transmission precautions, such as statewide mandates for a mask, cases are almost guaranteed to They will rise dramatically after schools reopen in person and colder weather drove Coloradans back inland.
There is a good sign that you can avoid last year’s peak; children ages 5 to 11 may have access to vaccine very soon and constitute a predominant part of current cases. This will help slow transmission in vaccinated regions, although it could remain precariously high, however, the unvaccinated will remain at risk. In addition, due to the notable delay in the launch of the vaccine and the time required to achieve full protection, these protective effects can extend beyond the holidays for many families.
The impact of the large number of cases in the state continues to extend penalties well beyond those who refuse to get vaccinated. Hospital capacity across the state is at its highest during the pandemic, with several regions stretching far beyond the availability of staff and beds. Nearly 80% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients are not vaccinated, further prolonging access to critical healthcare services for those who are vaccinated.
There are several easy-to-find options that could be implemented immediately to help reduce occurrences. The first is for Polis to immediately enact a state indoor mask mandate – long overdue. The second is to ensure the fastest delivery to children ages 5 to 11, as demand will be high. A third basic option is to enact vaccine mandates in every possible location, along with remote work opportunities that return as appropriate until the cases are gone.
The pandemic was never going to be easy, but there is no need to make it more difficult. All efforts must be made now to provide safer vacation access to community members. A longer delay will only cost more lives, money and time for all of us.

What does a Journalist do?
As a journalist you work as an editor, writer, or reporter for a news or media outlet of some sort, whether it’s TV, radio, print, or the web. Working as a journalist you cull information on a daily basis, reviewing records and exploring facts for the truth and the latest updates. Then you inform and educate through your careful interviews.
Depending on which mediums you work in, a journalist’s daily tasks may range from reviewing a book (which can be done on your own time, in the comfort of your own home) to hard-core on-site journalism from someplace like a war zone (with dangerous surroundings and tight deadlines).
Though each medium calls for a particular kind of journalism, no matter where you work, you must maintain a point of view while also being objective. You’re often under a great deal of time pressure, so the ability to stay calm and level-headed whether you’re interviewing a celebrity who’s fresh out of rehab, or in the middle of the aforementioned war zone, is a great asset for your reporting.
Whatever form of journalism you decide to take on, you’re an informant to the public first and foremost. You should take pride in your work and the power of your position.

There are two kinds of people at summer cookouts: those who are getting “eaten alive” by mosquitoes, and those who haven’t noticed a single bite. So why can some people enjoy their burgers in bliss while others unceasingly swat at exposed skin? According to a new study of twins, genetics partially explains how attractive we are to mosquito bites.
You Look Tasty
Over the years, scientists have shown that mosquitoes prefer some humans to others. Pregnant women, for example, are more attractive to mosquitoes than non-pregnant women. People who weigh more also tend to be favored targets. Previous studies have also shown that body odor influences our attractiveness to mosquitoes. Building upon this insight, scientists wanted to see if there might be an underlying genetic component that makes some people smell tastier to mosquitoes than others.
Offering a Hand
Scientists recruited 18 identical and 19 non-identical female twin pairs that were willing to offer their blood as a snack. For each trial, scientists sent a group of 20 female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes into a Y-shaped tube, which forced the insects to make a decision and fly toward their preferred smell. A different batch of mosquitoes was used in each trial. As it turned out, identical twins were equally attractive to mosquitoes, but non-identical twins were not. In fact the trait was highly heritable: an estimated 83 percent of the variability in bite likelihood was due to genetics. That makes mosquito attractiveness equally heritable as height or I.Q., for instance. Although it was just a pilot study, the results indicate genetic controls of our body odor play some role in our attractiveness to mosquitoes. Scientists published their results Wednesday in
Further research will have to delve into what exactly is causing the difference between identical and non-identical twins — whether repellant chemicals from some people or attractive chemicals from others. Scientists say they will continue to investigate the genetically controlled mechanisms that dictate these signals. Their work could someday yield better insect repellants, and that’s a big deal. Apart from annoying, itchy bites, mosquitoes carry nasty disease like dengue fever and malaria. Any method to keep these pests far, far away is a win for humanity.

As scientists the world over scramble to develop a vaccine that will help protect millions against COVID-19, it’s a good time to think about how this would work – and realistically, how long it could take.
Business secretary Alok Sharma announced on 17 April that a new Vaccine Taskforce has been set up in the UK to accelerate the search for a coronavirus vaccine and ensure the industry is prepared to manufacture at scale once it’s ready.

Sarah Gilbert, a professor of vaccinology at Oxford University who is leading the team, said in the best-case scenario, a vaccine could be available for use by the general public by the autumn. However, she said there is always an unknown and scientists can never be sure vaccines are going to work.
Around the world, there are multiple potential vaccines under various stages of development for COVID-19. Some are further ahead than others. In the US for example, human trials began last month, with four patients receiving a version of the jab in Seattle, Washington.
But the road from here to a widely-distributed vaccine could be a long one. Some experts reckon we won’t be seeing a circulating vaccine for at least 12-18 months. And even if a vaccine was created and mass-produced, the government’s chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance said it would need to be distributed to the most vulnerable people first, and then the rest of the population.
Historically, the average vaccine took 10-15 years to create, Professor Robin May, an expert in infectious diseases based at the University of Birmingham, tells HuffPost UK. “So if we can get this down to 12-18 months – I mean that’s cold comfort at the moment, but it’s still an extraordinary acceleration of pace.

“The current trials are underway, that’s an exceptional research effort, it’s gone fast so far. But even if we get a clear answer in the coming weeks, there is still this huge problem of manufacturing and scaling-up to address.”
How would a coronavirus vaccine work?
Firstly, we need to talk about what’s going on in our body when we are exposed to an illness. Take the common cold as an example. If the cold virus enters the body, the body sees it as foreign and issues a response.
“Part of that response is these cells called T cells and P cells which are incredibly specific,” explains Prof May. The cells recognize a tiny bit of the cold virus protein and launch an immune response against it. After the infection’s gone, some of those cells remain as memory cells – essentially for most of your life.
If those cells encounter the same virus again in the future, there’s a much faster, much more aggressive reaction, which is why if you get one strain of the common cold, for example, you won’t get reinfected with it next time (and come down with all of the annoying symptoms). Your immune system has seen it before and knows what it’s looking for. It builds up a defense.
A vaccine works by triggering this immune response. It exposes your body to a snippet of the virus so your body immediately recognizes it in the future and knows to fight against it straight away.

Traditionally, vaccines would be made from a weakened or killed virus, but more recently, there’s been a focus on using one or two molecules off the surface of a virus, rather than injecting a person with a whole virus, says Prof May.
The advantage of this is that people shouldn’t get sick from the virus or have nasty side effects because they’re only being exposed to the tiniest fragment of it – but still enough for your body to recognize it in the future.


A heat sink with piezoelectric vibrating fins is developed by attaching piezoelectric actuators to the fins of a heat sink, and heat transfer characteristics of the heat sink are experimentally investigated.
The fins of the heat sink vibrate like piezoelectric fans. The fins bend to a side when the piezoelectric actuators expand, and the fins bend to the other side when the piezoelectric actuators contract. So the periodic expansion and contraction motions of the piezoelectric actuators make the fins vibrate.
The thermal performance of the heat sink changes as the input power change to the piezoelectric actuators or the input frequency change. Particularly, if the input frequency to the fins matches up to the natural frequency of the fins, the vibration amplitude is significantly increased by resonance and the thermal performance also increases.
The natural frequency of the fins decreases as the base temperature increase. Thermal expansion and Young’s modulus change cause the natural frequency change. The correlation between temperature and natural frequency is derived.
Thermal performance improvement of the heat sink by the vibration of the fins is observed compared to the thermal performance of a natural convection heat sink with static fins under a fixed heat sink geometry condition.
Thermal performance curve of the piezoelectric heat sink is similar to the thermal performance curve of a fan mounted heat sink. The thermal resistance of the piezoelectric heat sink is inversely proportional to the input power to the piezoelectric actuators.

We need to feel discomfort first, for it to go away. This doesn’t mean you have to dwell on it for days or weeks. In fact, you’ll be surprised at how even a 20-minute conversation with someone who is listening can ease your pain. Here are some questions you can ask.
If your goal-setting isn't working, it might be because you're focusing on the wrong tasks. Have you ever set a deadline...and then kept moving it? Do you want to be a marathon runner but don't know where to start? Use this guide to figure out how to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Losing a parent changes who you are; I often tell people it's like joining a shitty club that no one wants to be a part of.
This week marks five years since my mom passed away.
As I reflect on the past five years, I've remembered some things and forgotten others; I've grown; I've surprised myself in a lot of ways.
Here are 100 things that happened after my mom died. If you've lost someone you're close to, you might recognize some of these.
Couples sometimes panic when they start having the same disagreement over and over again. They're worried it's a sign of a fundamental mismatch in their relationship. They may avoid the disagreement to avoid potentially ending the relationship. But that makes things worse!
I spoke with Jamie Kravitz at Elite Daily a few weeks ago about how to tell if your partner respects you. I believe that almost any relationship can be improved, and a disagreement (even a frustrating, recurring one) doesn't necessarily mean the end.
Yeah, ok. You keep hearing about "the importance of setting boundaries" and you kind of have an idea of what people mean by that. (It's just saying "no" a lot more frequently....right?)
How do you set limits without hurting people's feelings? Especially when you don't even intend to be hurtful, but people take it the wrong way? Sometimes it feels easier to just give in and hope the other person notices that they're asking too much.
The black sheep of the family is the outcast, seen as different, written off. At best, they're playfully teased; at worst, they're rejected. The more they're ridiculed, the less likely they are to open up and share things about themselves. The less they share, the more of an outcast they become.
Why does this happen, and what can you do about it?

We might hear people say, "Follow your heart," or "God knows my heart" or even "Give God your heart." The Bible says: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17)
God is not interested in receiving the corrupt heart of any man. Many don't realize that by nature, we CANNOT do good. Some may do what appears to be "good", but those things are as FILTHY RAGS before God (Isaiah 64), UNLESS those deeds are the fruit of the VINE, Christ (John 15).
But HERE is our hope, not that we reach for God, to GIVE Him anything . He sees things as they are, reaches down to humanity, to make us clean and make us new, by His will, for His glory.
"Then WILL I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, WILL I cleanse you. A new heart also WILL I GIVE you, and a new spirit WILL I put within you: and I WILL take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I WILL give you a heart of flesh. And I WILL put my spirit within you, and CAUSE you to walk in my statutes..." ~Ezekiel 36
Now we are commanded to repent and believe the Gospel: That Christ, fully God and fully man, paid for the sins of His people, dying and rising again the third day, so that we could be cleansed and covered by HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Those who DO NOT believe are under condemnation (John 3), BECAUSE their hearts are exactly as they were when they were born, DESPERATELY WICKED.
Christ is our ONLY HOPE to have a new heart. I urge you, and God commands: Repent (Acts 17) and believe! Those who have been given a NEW heart WILL!

Recently we blogged about the rise of cell-free DNA studies, and how precise size selection is one tool that can help researchers isolate DNA of interest for further analysis (such as sorting out fetal from maternal genetic material).
At the AGBT Precision Health meeting in Scottsdale, Ariz., last month, we teamed up with Rubicon Genomics to present a poster demonstrating how our technologies can be used together to generate better results from cell-free DNA studies. (If you were at the meeting, it was poster #107.)
For this work, we performed pre-library size selection using the Pippin Prep to separate fragments 160 bp and larger (since that’s about the size of the mononucleosomal unit) from smaller fragments, which are typically the ones scientists want to analyze for cancer or prenatal studies. After sizing, we prepared libraries for sequencing using Rubicon Genomics’ ThruPLEX® Plasma-Seq kit, which is designed for low-input samples from plasma and liquid biopsies like cfDNA. Libraries were also prepared and analyzed without size selection so we could see how much of a difference that step made.
Even though we started with less than 1 ng of size-selected material, we were able to produce highly diverse libraries that were significantly enriched for cell-free DNA fragments between 60 bp and 120 bp. That enrichment did not happen for libraries prepared without size selection. This graph of insert size distribution shows how clearly delineated the shorter fragments were when size selection was used.
While Pippin Prep was used for this project, Sage customers can use PippinHT as well to perform what we call “low-pass” sizing — that is, removing everything larger than a certain size. We look forward to seeing how our users deploy automated size selection technology to enhance their cell-free DNA studies.

General Motors suing Ford for alleged trademark violations on Super Cruise
Electric vehicle start-up Rivian is closing a $2.5 billion funding round led by Amazon, Ford, and T. Rowe price. Overall, the company has raised about $10.5 billion to date. This comes days after Rivian announced it plans on opening a second manufacturing plant in the U.S. Rivian will soon be a part of Amazon's delivery service as well after the company purchased 100,000 electric vehicles from the start-up.
General Motors and its cruise robo-taxi subsidiary are suing Ford for alleged trademark violations. GM claims Ford's use of the "Blue Cruise" name infringes on GM's Super Cruise trademark, as well as Cruise's trademark. Ford responded to the suit, calling it meritless and frivolous. GM first announced in 2012 it would be using the name Super Cruise for its hands-free driver assistance technology while Ford announced the name Blue Cruise for theirs in April of this year.
Boston Beer CEO David Burwick admitted the company was shocked at its low hard seltzer sales, even saying management "does not look very smart" after its prior forecast. The owner of hard seltzers saw a massive sell-off after disappointing earnings last week. Weaker-than-anticipated demand for those seltzers was the key culprit for the earnings miss. Shares closed down 26% on Friday at $701 apiece. Burwick initially said back in May the company was "very confident" in the hard seltzer category.

At present, you’re going to learn to get girls to like you. In other words, generally dating is difficult; generally dating is painful. But the really painful side of dating isn’t so much the experiences we endure, as the way in which we internalize the experiences. Somewhat romance tale than blaming yourself, feeling unworthy, or taking up a pessimistic view of the long run, you possibly can shake it all off and know this one thing: unhealthy dating and unhealthy relationships happen. But when dating and relationships go right, it can be life changing.

So, if your date stays engaged and pointed toward romance tale you, it’s a fantastic sign. But if their toes are aimed at the exit, they won’t be having pretty much as good of a time as they look like.

North Korea fired a ballistic missile from a submarine on Saturday that flew hundreds of kilometers and landed in the sea.
The launch came three days after the failed test of an intercontinental ballistic missile as the regime ramps up provocations with the approaching inauguration of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol.
The North fired the short-range ballistic missile from waters off Sinpo in South Hamgyong Province into the East Sea around 2:07 p.m., the Joint Chiefs of Staff here said. It flew about 600 km and reached an altitude of some 60 km.
The projectile is thought to be an improved version of the KN-23 Iskander missile and seems to be capable of carrying tactical nuclear warheads.
Over the past four months the North has fired more than 20 missiles on 15 occasions or nearly once a week. Most seem to be aimed at South Korea.
Military and intelligence authorities believe that the North now wants to prove that it is capable of developing tactical nuclear warheads by conducting another nuclear test.
Washington believes that the North will conduct a nuclear test soon. North Korea is "preparing its Punggye-ri test site and could be ready to test there as early as this month, which would be its seventh test," said State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter last Friday.
