Lower-level criminals with major drug problems would be in line for more
treatment and less prison time if voters approve the Nonviolent Offender and
Rehabilitation Act of 2008.
Proposition 5 seeks to build on the Proposition 36 drug treatment initiative
California voters passed in 2000, the success of which is subject to debate.
The 8-year-old measure was designed to divert lower-level drug criminals out
of the criminal justice system. Only a third of offenders who enter
Proposition 36 programs complete them, a UCLA study found last year.
But the same study also found that the measure saves taxpayers $2.50 for
every $1 spent and $4 for every offender who completes the program.
Billionaire financier and philanthropist George Soros, who has backed drug
decriminalization measures in other states, provided the financial backing
to get Proposition 5 on the ballot.
WHAT IT DOES
Proposition 5 sets aside $150 million in state spending this year and $460
million next year, with cost of living and population adjustments
thereafter, for expanded prison and parolee drug programs.
Expands diversion programs to get more addicts out of prison and into
Earmarks 15 percent of funding for juvenile offenders.
Splits off parole and rehabilitation operations from the state corrections
agency under a new secretary, with a new 23-member commission to oversee
Keeps technical parole violators out of prison. Serious and violent
offenders would be placed on parole supervision for longer stretches.
Reduces some inmates' prison terms through good-time credits.
Makes marijuana possession an infraction rather than a misdemeanor.
Expands the Board of Parole Hearings from 17 to 29 members. Senate
confirmation would no longer be required.
WHAT IT COSTS
The Legislative Analyst's Office says the program could cost taxpayers $1
billion a year, but save $1 billion in reduced prison and parole
expenditures. It also could save $2.5 billion in future prison construction
Supporters had raised approximately $4.5 million as of Sept. 24, including
$1.4 million from New York financier George Soros, $1.4 million from retired
New York businessman and philanthropist Bob Wilson, $700,000 from Goldman
Sachs senior partner Jacob D. Greenfield of New York and $500,000 from
University of Phoenix founder John G. Sperling of Phoenix.
Opponents had reported about $288,000 in contributions as of Sept. 24,
including $175,000 from the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation and $60,000
from the California Narcotics Officers Association.
New York financier George Soros
Drug Policy Alliance Network
California Public Defenders Association
WHAT THEY SAY:
â€¢ Proposition 5 would ease California's prison overcrowding crisis by
treating drug addiction as an illness.
â€¢ The initiative would provide $65 million in funding for youth drug
treatment programs that don't exist now.
â€¢ It would save money over time in reduced prison construction and operation
California District Attorneys Association
California Association of Drug Court Professionals
California Chamber of Commerce
WHAT THEY SAY:
â€¢ Proposition 5 in effect would decriminalize drugs and spark increases in
crime by diverting offenders out of the criminal justice system.
â€¢ The initiative would undermine the inmate rehabilitation and re-entry
components contained in last year's Assembly Bill 900.
â€¢ It would create new bureaucracies with no accountability and add costs
through higher crime rates.

Method for Automated, Real-Time Drilling Fluid Rheological Parameter Determination Using Downhole Sensor Data

One of the most critical metrics affecting safety and performance of any drilling operation is the rheological properties of the drilling fluid. Density (mud weight) and viscosity of the drilling mud are continuously monitored for compliance with design specifications determined by the expected down hole conditions.
Currently, the rheology determination is carried out with simplistic equipment at
standard temperature and pressure at the surface. These measurements, therefore, do not properly reflect the actual well conditions experienced by the fluid within the wellbore and conditions thousands of feet below the surface. Additionally, due to the long run lengths of most well bores, circulation of the fluid to the surface for sampling means measurements are not performed in real time and are conducted depending on the availability of the mud engineer.
Inaccurate measurement of the rheological properties can lead to costly lost circulation events and potentially catastrophic kicks resulting in blow out.
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a novel method to determine important mud rheological parameters using data obtained from downhole drillstring sensors (pressure and temperature). In this method the well itself is used as the equivalent of a pipe viscometer, with pressure measurements conducted along its length using sensors placed at strategic positions in the drill string. The rheology determination is performed at actual downhole pressure and temperature in real time.
- Real-time measurements of drilling fluid rheological properties under downhole conditions
- Improved hydraulic planning to maintain the optimal mud weight window and eliminate non-productive time
- Precise prediction of the annular pressure profile in Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD)
- Precise prediction of Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD), particularly in deep offshore wells with narrow mud windows
- The present invention eliminates the need for surface equipment entirely and therefore the need for the associated human interaction.
- The present invention lends itself inherently to automation, and specifically to automation through algorithm manipulation of sensor data.

Glurge: U.S. serviceman's poem describes a soldier's lonely night before Christmas.
Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2006]
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Origins: Like the much-circulated piece "The Soldier's Night Before Christmas," this poem, also ostensibly written by a
Internet-circulated copies of "A Different Christmas Poem" are often attributed to a
A Soldier's Christmas was the first in this series of patriotic writings, drafted on Pearl Harbor Day 2000 when in the wake of the 2000 Presidential Election our nation saw the right of US Armed Forces personnel openly questioned and debated. I felt it unconscionable that at the onset of the Christmas season, those serving to defend our nation would hear anything but our love and support. It is our challenge to stand for their rights at home while they stand for our lives and safety overseas. This poem went out and quickly spread around the world in emails, letters, magazines. I received letters from Marines in Bosnia, soldiers in Okinawa, from a submariner who xeroxed a copy for everyone on his sub. Moms wrote, dads, brothers and sisters. I have saved and cherish every letter and set out to continue writing throughout the year.

Petitioning for help
Jul 21, 2015 at 1:28 PM
An online petition has surpassed 3,300 signatures in support of the family’s quest to get the Michigan State Police or FBI to on the investigation.
“At the six-month candlelight vigil, they said they were done waiting and it was time to move on to the next step,” said Carrie Mitchell, a Norton Shores woman who started the Find Jessica Heeringa Facebook page and now a change.com petition page.
Heeringa was abducted April 26 from the Exxon gas station at 1196 E. Sternberg Road. She worked at the store and was prepped to close it for the night, police said.
A customer called police after he visited the station that night and couldn’t find any employees.
Despite many tips, Norton Shores Police haven’t located the 26-year-old woman.
“We are still conducting investigative tasks regarding this case on a daily basis,” Norton Shores Police Chief Dan Shaw said. “We are still receiving calls/emails with information daily and weekly; however, most do not contain information directly connected to Jessica’s abduction on April 26, 2013.”
Early in the investigation, police released video of a silver mini van that was observed in the area the night Heeringa vanished — possibly the same vehicle a witness saw behind the Exxon station.
Police also released a suspect sketch and have conducted numerous interviews.
“I still believe we will bring Jessica home and solve this case,” Shaw said. “Based on the information we have collected, I am convinced there are individuals who have direct knowledge of Jessica’s location and the identity of her abductor(s); however, for reasons unknown, are refusing to come forward.”
Jessica’s grandmother, Diane Homrich, said she was extremely frustrated and discouraged at the lack of progress in finding her granddaughter.
Homrich said while they appreciate what the Norton Shores Police Department has done, she noted that they are a small department and it is time for an agency with better resources to take over.
Homrich and Mitchell said they’ve talked to people who said they supplied tips to police but were never contacted.
The Norton Shores department has worked with the State Police since start of the investigation.
“We have had access to all of their resources, including numerous investigators, intelligence analysts, technical services, forensic laboratory, behavioral science, (and) aviation support,” he said. “We recognized immediately that we could not have conducted an investigation of this magnitude without their assistance.”
The police department has also consulted with the FBI as recently as last week, Shaw said. The FBI doesn’t have jurisdiction unless Heeringa was taken out of state.
“If we eventually obtain proof she has been taken across state lines, then jurisdiction will switch to the FBI and we will assist,” Shaw said.
In the meantime, Heeringa’s mother, Shelly Heeringa, is conducting her own searches.
“Shelly was working three days a week. The other two days she was going on Google Earth and looking up run-down houses you can’t see from the road,” Homrich said.

Ochaco Uraraka is a student at the hero academy, U. A. High School, who is also training to become a Pro Hero. Acquiring a replica of My Hero Academia’s female student uniform costume and Ochaco’s wig is somewhat easy which makes her one of the best anime cosplay ideas that you can try out. Wig and costumes are the two basic elements when you want to cos a role. You can cosplay as Rem or Ram with the same maid costume as long as you have either a pink wig or a blue wig. You can cosplay as Moka Akashiya as long as you have a replica of her uniform, her pink wig, and maybe false vampire tooth. Awaken your inner child and save the world in style with a replica of any one of Sakura’s battle costumes like this pink dress, wig, and wand. In this article, I will be recommending 30 of the best anime costumes and cosplay ideas for girls that you can try out even as a cosplay beginner. According to Rebecca Harrison, female representation in the Star Wars tent-pole films has been mixed at best.
If you want to cos newest anime character, such as dragon maid, RoleCosplay will be your best choice for do this cosplay. Do you want to go to a costume party as a goth/grunge girl? Decide how complex you want your cosplay attire to be. Ryuko Matoi’s cosplay outfit are actually somewhat popular and easy to put together. Also attending are celebrated former Doctor Who writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, who are taking part in a panel discussion for BBC’s Dracula on Saturday. One Whovian wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of him in a Doctor Who t-shirt while holding a sonic screwdriver: ‘Appropriate t-shirt for today! And to top it up, she is not a mean girl, rather she is a gifted violinist who can be quite supporting and encouraging. Of course, you can also buy a complete replica of her costume, her wig, and a replica of the Survey Corps Sword and maneuver gear. You can cosplay Ai Enma dressed in a replica of her uniform or the kimono she usually wears when taking people to hell. Violet Evergaden’s cosplay costume replica is very attractive even to people who don’t know about the anime and you can wear it to masquerade parties as well as cosplay events.
Tae Shimura has a cute face which makes her seem like a really sweet person but she is a really strong character who usually has violent outbursts where she beats up people whenever she is displeased especially after issuing her trademark (evil) sweet-looking smile. Cosplayer Shaela Halcrow, 23, dressed as anime character Do Flamingo during the first day of MCM Comic Con at the ExCel London in east London. The exhibitions are set to attract 130,000 fans over the course of the weekend with the price for General Admission day tickets starting at £25. Although you may meet others cosplaying as her, sexy cosplay women you can be sure that you will not be left out at any convention cosplaying with Sakura’s costume whether it is the full set or not. You can spend a day living as a full-time do-gooder by cosplaying as Higurashi. Tough day keeping the citizens of Gotham City safe? Rolecosplay is a reliable online anime costume shop that provides costumes with different sizes to fit cosplayers’ various demands. Most of the women who cosplay prefer to wear “fun yet sexy” costumes. Gender reversal is a great way to produce some interesting outfits (Freddy Krueger as a female, a Banshee as a man, etc.) Women really have the advantage in this type of cosplay, but I have seen good examples of guys cosplaying female characters (not many, but a few).
She also found the films as a whole featured far fewer roles for women of colour, who enjoyed only 14.3 per cent in The Last Jedi. Cosplay as the strong-willed and determined Honoka and recreate special scenes from the anime with your friends who can cosplay as any of the other eight girls. You can also cosplay as Kikyo, a shrine priestess who is the past life of Kagome. You’ll be sure to stand out at any costume party or convention dressed in a replica of Kikyo’s costume which is the traditional dress of a Miko (Priestess). There is no way that you can miss the character’s treacherous looks as you walk confidently down the street or in a party hall, dressed in her signature gown. This compulsive gambler and charismatic girl is one that can never live under the radar. Higurashi Kagome is a pure and kind girl whose empathic nature ensures that she never hesitates to help others and that she treats everyone with warmth and respect.

Utica Parks and Parkway System - The People Who Made It Happen!
During the late 1890s, Utica's citizens were clamoring for a city park system. But, city leaders were reluctant to expend the funds for land purchase for this purpose.
Utica has always been a generous community. Many of its leading citizens stepped forward to donate the land that ultimately became the Utica Parks.
Judge John J. Walsh described how Utica's parks came to be in a chapter of his book Vignettes of Old Utica, (Utica Public Library, 1982. pp. 356-358). He shared a series of delightful sketches about Utica's parks, from the city's earliest, smaller parks like Chancellor Park and Steuben Square, to the tracts of land that evolved into the Utica Parks and Parkway System.
How did the City acquire its parks, especially during a time when there was little municipal funding available for beautification? Thanks to a veritable "Who's Who" of private citizens, the City of Utica became an active participant in the "City Beautiful" movement of the early 20th-century:
- James Connor Greenman – Greenman's grandfather, who bore the same name, left young James an inheritance which included real property and stock. When Greenman died in 1894, his estate was placed in trust until the death of his wife, the former Anna L. Olmstead. His assets were used "…to purchase, lay out and maintain one or more plots of ground, within or near the City of Utica, to be used as a public park or playground, particularly for the children and youth of the city." (Vignettes of Old Utica, John J. Walsh, 1982, p. 356)
- Mr. & Mrs. John D. Kernan – In 1895, the Kernans conveyed a 1-acre parcel of land south of Rutger Street to the City of Utica.
- Mrs. Thomas R. Proctor and Mrs. Frederick T. Proctor – The former Williams sisters – now each married to a Proctor brother – donated approximately six and one-half acres of land to the City of Utica in memory of James Watson Williams in 1897. This park was bounded by Steuben Street, Elm Street, James Street and Elmwood Place. A fountain was erected and there was a pond used for skating in the winter.
- Thomas R. Proctor – In 1899, when the City of Utica extended Rutger Street to the east to accommodate the newly built Masonic Home, Proctor opened 60 acres of the old Bagg's Hotel farm (located west of the Masonic Homes grounds) to the public. He cleared 35 of the 60 acres and left the other 25 acres wooded.
In 1904, Proctor purchased land on what is now known as the Memorial Parkway. He purchased several farms until he held acreage totaling about 380 acres. He engaged Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., and Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects, to lay out walking paths, driving roads, and to plant trees. He had a 20-ton boulder placed on the site, along with a bronze plaque, and dedicated the site in honor of Roscoe Conkling. In 1909, both Roscoe Conkling Park and Thomas R. Proctor Park were formally dedicated for use by the City of Utica's citizens.
Also in 1904, the city added an additional stretch of land to the Parkway, from Genesee Street to Elm Street. In 1911, the Parkway was extended further to Mohawk Street. In 1919, the City Council authorized additional work to extend the Parkway from Mohawk Street to Welsh Bush Road.
There were also plans at one time to extend the Memorial Parkway west of Genesee Street, and T.R. Proctor donated land to the city for this purpose. Though the plans conceived by Olmsted and Proctor to continue the Parkway never materialized, Horatio Seymour Park was established on the corner of Sunset Avenue and Burrstone Road. This land eventually became the site of Murnane Field and field house, during the WPA period.
Mrs. T. R. Proctor – Mrs. Maria Proctor donated a parcel of land located near the corner of Eagle and Genesee Streets which became known as the "Christmas Tree" park. In 1932-33, after the demolition of Bagg's Hotel, Mrs. Proctor established the Bagg's Hotel Park and memorial building, located west of the Children's Museum on Main Street.
Mr. and Mrs. F.T. Proctor – T.R. Proctor's brother, Frederick, and his wife, Rachel, deeded land to the City of Utica which was the original site of St. Luke's Hospital on Columbia Street. This small park was named Truman K. Butler Park.
Mrs. Joseph Swan – As the Parkway was developed, statues began to appear. In 1910, Mrs. Joseph Swan donated the Swan Memorial Fountain, which was created by Joseph MacMonnies, considered one of the foremost sculptors in America at that time. The statue features the Greek god, Pan, considered the patron of flocks and shepherds, hunters and fishermen. The statue was named a landmark worth saving in 2004 by the Landmarks Society of Greater Utica and fund raising was begun to restore the sculpture. In 2005, thanks to contributors including the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties, CONMED Corporation, members and friends of the William F. Locke family, and the City of Utica, the statue was restored and rededicated.
Other statues soon found a place on the Parkway, including the "Hiker", which was erected on its current site on the Parkway and Oneida Streets and placed atop a boulder brought to the Parkway from the town of Trenton in 1915. Sculpted by Allen G. Newman, the statue is dedicated to the memory of those who fought in the Spanish-American War.
A statue of Thomas R. Proctor was added to the Parkway in 1921 and presented as a gift from Utica's school children.
In time, other monuments appeared on the Memorial Parkway. There are now 14 monuments on Utica's grandest street, from Genesee Street to Culver Avenue, each with its own distinct, aesthetically designed flower and shrub beds.
The Central New York Conservancy began a campaign that asked local individuals, groups, and companies to "adopt" a monument and contribute to its continuing upkeep. To date, these monuments have been adopted:
- Vice-President Sherman (west side of Genesee St, between Memorial Parkway and Pleasant St.)
- General Pulaski (west side Oneida St., between Memorial Parkway and Pleasant St.)
- Vietnam Memorial (west side of Holland Avenue)
- World War Two/Korean Conflict (grass median strip between Memorial Parkway and Pleasant St.)
- Swan Fountain
- Christopher Columbus (west side Mohawk St., between Memorial Parkway and Pleasant St.)
- 9-11 Memorial (south side of Memorial Parkway, opposite MVCC entrance)

Surrounded by fresh seafood, locally grown produce and plenty of sunshine, Nelson’s Chef de Cuisine Mona Guerrero’s culinary creativity radiates throughout the menu and atmosphere of the restaurant at Terranea. Just in time for summer, the California coastal menu features a variety of offerings from classic to comfort with a twist that nods to her heritage and hometown of San Pedro. Mona’s easygoing spirit, contagious laugh and inventive dishes reflect the vibrant and welcoming feel of the popular clifftop eatery. Part of a world-class culinary team at Terranea, the California native continually draws on her heritage and coastal influences she grew up with in her neighboring hometown. Her radiating warmth is balanced by a fierce determination and strong sense of pride for her native roots.
Q: Nelson’s is one of the most popular destinations for locals and guests alike. What is your philosophy behind the menu and offerings that keep people returning again and again?
A: You have to have passion and a love for what you are cooking. For me, Nelson’s is home. The cuisine, the ingredients, the surroundings are all infused with my love of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The Cioppino and the Mahi Sandwich both offer a true taste of San Pedro featuring fresh seafood and packed with flavor. The nostalgic smells and tastes remind me of growing up, eating family style at Sunday barbeques and dinners. I believe food should be fun and offer a sense of familiarity – something you enjoy with loved ones.
Q: Where can we find you when you are outside of the kitchen?
A: When I am not in the kitchen or garden, I like to spend time with my friends and family. I love to entertain and create new dishes. Travelling is something I am very passionate about. I love exploring new cuisine and new places. I also love music, which fuels my creativity whenever I am in the kitchen, and I enjoy catching a live concert any chance I get.
Q: You spent 10+ years working in notable restaurants and high-profile resorts in Las Vegas before returning to Southern California, how does your background lend itself to your current role with Terranea?
A: My background and experience working in the Las Vegas market was instrumental in setting me up for success at Nelson’s. Nelson’s is one of the busiest dining destinations at Terranea. It could be a daunting task for some to work within a high pressure environment but for me it is normal, familiar and I love the energy. I would be remiss if I did not mention that I am surrounded with a great team that is just as passionate and enthusiastic about delivering the best that Nelson’s has to offer.
Q: As a female chef, what inspires you and continues to drive your success? What advice would you give to aspiring female chefs?
A: I am inspired by the chefs around me and the family feeling that we are fortunate to experience at Terranea. I am privileged to work with many female counterparts throughout all areas of the kitchen and the resort. The talented team that surrounds me is endless inspiration and above all, the beautiful location we call home. As it relates to advice to aspiring chefs, I would suggest that they stay the course and follow their heart. Be a part of or create environments where the energy is positive, collaborative and fun. For me, I tend to use music as my generator and the lyrics from What a Feelin’ by Irene Cara -“Take your passion and make it happen,” always gets me going!
Q: What sets Nelson’s apart as a dining destination?
A: The setting, the food, the drinks, our team – gosh, I can go on. One of my favorite things about Nelson’s is the coastal setting and a welcoming menu that offers a wide range of specialties, all created with love and passion. We are the best spot for a sunset dinner, enjoying live music during our summer concert series, watching for whale and dolphins, having a drink with friends around the fire pit, or grabbing lunch after a round of golf.

A guest favorite for casual dining, Nelson’s is perched directly above the ocean coves made famous by the 1950s television series Sea Hunt–from which this modern surf shack takes its namesake. The cliff-top eatery pays homage to Sea Hunt’s main character Mike Nelson, as well as actor Lloyd Bridges’ lifetime efforts to protect the environment and the ocean. Indoor furnishings are made from recycled materials, including Nelson’s centerpiece bar countertop, which is fashioned completely of recycled wine bottles. Guests enjoy coastal cuisine and a warm, friendly bar atmosphere surrounded by outdoor fire pits and unrivaled sunset views.

By Jeffri Chadiha, SI.com
5. How will Shaun Alexander's contract situation play out in Seattle?
He's prepared to sit out training camp in order to land a long term deal but he has little leverage. The Seahawks tried trading him during the offseason and found no willing suitors. Holmgren also hasn't been pleased with Alexander's suspect hands or the player's disdain for blocking. This doesn't exactly sound like a man the Seahawks can't live without, even if he did finish one yard short of the league rushing title. He'll be back at some point -- and without a new deal.
6. Will the Rams be any better on special teams this season?
There isn't any reason to think so. Martz has never devoted enough time or energy to improving his return and coverage units and the Rams paid a heavy price for that deficiency in 2004. Last season they ranked 30th in the NFL in punt-return yards and kick-return yards allowed, 31st in punt returns and dead last in kick returns. The addition of new special teams coach Bob Ligashesky won't improve those numbers. More talented special teams players is the only way to fix this ongoing problem.
7. Which player will have a breakout season?
All indications point to Cardinals running back J.J. Arrington shining during his rookie season. The former Cal star already is the front-runner to be Arizona's feature back and he has the right skill set (speed, explosiveness, good hands) to excel in coach Green's offense. A second-round pick in a class loaded with running backs, Arrington could prove to be one of the biggest steals of this year's draft.
8. Will dropped passes plague the Seahawks again?
Seattle rid itself of at least one if its primary culprits in this area -- it dumped wide receiver Koren Robinson during the offseason -- so there is at least hope. The team's top wideout, Darrell Jackson, also had his struggles with the juggles, but the rest of the receiving corps is fairly steady. Despite a big drop in last year's playoff loss to St. Louis, Bobby Engram has reliable hands, as do free-agent acquisitions Joe Jurevicius and Jerome Pathon.
9. Can the Rams stop the run this season?
We'll see. The linebacking corps should improve with the addition of speedy outside linebacker Dexter Coakley and middle linebacker Chris Claiborne, who will bring more bulk to the inside position. A healthy Adam Archuleta also would be helpful, as a back injury plagued the fifth-year strong safety most of last season. If those three can be consistent playmakers this year, the Rams shouldn't finish at the bottom of the league in this category (they ranked 29th in rush defense in '04).
10. Will Dennis Green make any strides with the Cardinals in Year Two?
Yes. For those who haven't noticed, Arizona has established a promising defense that features unheralded talents like Pro Bowl defensive end Bert Berry (14.5 sacks in '04), linebacker Karlos Dansby and strong safety AdrianWilson. If the offense can match this unit's improvement, the Cardinals could challenge for a playoff spot. Don't laugh. After all, the NFC West is the weakest division in the NFL.

This has the Crown N German proofs on the frame, slide and barrel, and has the 1 piece brown Bakelite grips. The blue rates about 99% and the bore is excellent.

Projects per year
Low-nanomolar binding constants were recorded for a series of six 2'-fluoro-(carbamoylpyridinyl)deschloroepibatidine analogues with acetylcholine-binding protein (AChBP). The crystal structures of three complexes with AChBP reveal details of molecular recognition in the orthosteric binding site and imply how the other three ligands bind. Comparisons exploiting AChBP as a surrogate for α4β2 and α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) suggest that the key interactions are conserved. The ligands interact with the same residues as the archetypal nAChR agonist nicotine yet display greater affinity, thereby rationalizing their in vivo activity as potent antagonists of nicotine-induced antinociception. An oxyanion-binding site is formed on the periphery of the AChBP orthosteric site by Lys42, Asp94, Glu170 and Glu210. These residues are highly conserved in the human α4, β2 and α7 nAChR sequences. However, specific sequence differences are discussed that could contribute to nAChR subtype selectivity and in addition may represent a point of allosteric modulation. The ability to engage with this peripheral site may explain, in part, the function of a subset of ligands to act as agonists of α7 nAChR.

Euro flat after CPI data
The euro is trading at $1.3536, trading within a tight range this morning due to the level of inflation remaining at 0.5%. This is well below the 2% target but it was in line with expectations, so there was little movement on the back of the report. The euro is showing no sign of recovering the ground it has lost since the European Central Bank interest rate cut, but at the same time it is finding support around the $1.35 level.
The tensions between Russia and Ukraine are on the rise, and the government in Kiev must repay an outstanding debt to a Russia state-owned gas supplier before additional gas can be supplied to Ukraine. A decline in the supply of gas to central Europe could see a drop in the euro. If the euro drops below $1.35 the next level down is $1.3477.

I’m sure some of you have seen the latest announcement by Lytro: they’re coming up with version 2 of their “light field” camera (well, version 10.0 if you believe the PR hacks).
There’s going to be the usual battle, flinging names like “gadget” and “game-changer” around (it gets serious when someone says “paradigm-shift”).
I don’t really have an opinion for now. It looks interesting from a physics perspective. This light-field thing sure is fun, and I kind of like the images they have on their website.
My problem is from an artistic perspective. I don’t see how we’re going to view these images, how we are going to visualize them, to consume them.
In film, the contract between the artist and the spectator is that you devote a period of time to a narrative, and the artist controls the pace.
In photography, the contract is similar, but the spectator controls the pace of viewing. It’s up to the photographer to guide the eye through composition, light etc … but he can only do so indirectly.
All examples I’ve seen of Lytro-graphs (whatever the accepted term is, I like this one) break that contract. Either they are not much more than animated GIFs, where the focus-change or pseudo 3D movement grates against the path of my eye in the picture, or I need to interact to “animate” the picture, which disrupts my relation to the image.
To me, this is the greatest obstacle to these images becoming “game-changers” in the near future: I simply don’t think there’s a market for them.
Of course, that kind of statement can become claim chowder very quickly, and I’d happily be proven wrong. But for now, I really don’t see how.

Hours: 7:30 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Saturday; 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday.
Atmosphere: Contemporary French Quarter.
Price range: $2.75 to $3.95 for salads and sandwiches.
Credit cards: No.
Special facilities: Accessible to patrons in wheelchairs.
My memories of New Orleans include wrought-iron balustrades in the French Quarter; tiny offbeat hotels with hidden inner gardens; freshly made beignets by the wharf for breakfast; po' boy sandwiches, turtle soup and creole seasonings.
There is no mistaking the New Orleans Cafe in the bustling Adams-Morgan neighborhood for a scene out of the French quarter. There's not even a token of wrought iron; instead, the highly polished blond wood is very contemporary. But it nonetheless manages to capture some of the flavor of a New Orleans cafe.
Inside, it's small and cozy, with cafe-sized tables and bentwood chairs. Ceiling fans whirr and the cook works in full view in an enclosed pen. There's a feeling that you can drop in for cafe au lait and beignets, or a glass of wine or beer, and stay to read your newspaper.
The New Orleans Cafe provides light meals. It doesn't flirt with turtle soups or jambalayas, but stays with salads, po' boy sandwiches and beignets. After our family dined there on a recent Friday evening, we came away feeling that what the cafe did, it did well. Though our dinners consisted of sandwiches, beverages and beignets for dessert, the sandwiches were substantial, the beignets superb and no one left feeling hungry.
The first thing we liked about the cafe was the choice of beverages. In addition to soda there was fresh orange juice: 75 cents for a small glass, $1.45 for a chilled mug. Three of us ordered a glass and watched the oranges being squeezed by machine in the rear of the cafe. It came to the table frothing and delightfully full of pulp.
For our main course we had a choice of four salads and 11 sandwiches. The po' boy sandwiches, with inviting names such as Fat City, Plantation and Hurricane, contained inviting combinations of meat, fish, cheeses and vegetables.
The Delta ($2.95) for instance, consisted of salami, ham, havarti cheese, olives, lettuce, tomato, onion and hot peppers. The French Quarter ($3.50) was a simple roast beef sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onions.
Our waitress narrowed down the selection process by announcing there was no roast beef that night. When pressed for advice, she admitted that the Creole ($2.75), filled with barbecue chicken and cole slaw, was her favorite. We went with one of those and one Bayou: $3.25 for hot corned beef, pastrami, cole slaw, Russian dressing, chopped tomato and onion.
Our daughter and her friend were not feeling adventurous and wanted something familiar. They both chose the St. James: $2.75 for Danish ham and Swiss cheese. As a special request they asked to have the cheese melted. Since we were the only patrons in the cafe at the time, our waitress didn't see any problem with filling that request.
A sandwich dinner doesn't often seem special. But these sandwiches were unusual. All ingredients were fresh and of top quality. The submarine-length French bread was excellent. The fillings were plentiful.
The barbecue chicken, for instance, was tender chunks and shreds of chicken cooked gently in a pleasantly hot barbecue sauce. The crisp coolness of the cole slaw was a perfect counterpoint. There was so much chicken in the sandwich it was difficult to eat without nibbling at some of the filling first.
The pastrami and corned beef were well-seasoned, lean and surprisingly good. There were no complaints about the ham and cheese.
For dessert we shared two orders of fruit-filled beignets ($1 for an order of two beignets), one each of apple and pineapple. (Plain beignets are three for 65 cents.)
As soon as we ordered the beignets, the cook broke off four squares of dough he had just made and placed them in hot oil. They arrived at our table filled with sweetened fruit and covered with powdered sugar. The crisp hot dough, sweet sugar, and fresh fruit were wonderful. If the sandwiches hadn't been so filling we would have ordered another round or two. As it was, we promised ourselves we'd come back some Sunday morning for a breakfast of beignets and cafe au lait.
The check was a sweet ending, too. Four of us ate dinner for $17.70, including tax.

Since early childhood, Margaret Lee has been passionate about “saving the bush”.
After witnessing the widespread clearance of natural vegetation just after the war, Margaret was inspired to join the SA Field Naturalists when she was still in primary school.
On completing her schooling, Margaret applied to the Botanic Gardens as a trainee, but her application was unfortunately rejected because she was a girl!
Instead, she went to work in a legal office, but nothing could quell her insatiable curiosity and love of plants.
In 1958, with the help of then Botanic Garden’s director Noel Lothian, Margaret called a meeting to create the SA Branch of the Australian Plants Society (then known as – The Society for Growing Australian plants).
She was appointed as the inaugural Assistant Secretary (Assistant, as at that time as women couldn’t stand as Secretary).
The Society was one of the founding groups of the Conservation Council of South Australia, with Margaret actively involved in the very first meeting of the Conservation Council in 1971.
Finally in 1975 she enrolled in the first Landscape Architecture course in SA. She was the only woman in a class of 18.
After graduation – and while looking after a busy husband and five children – Margaret started up her own landscape design practice. She advised many householders at the start of the sustainable gardens movement on incorporating native plants into their gardens at a time when European ornamentals were the norm.
Margaret was on the Governing Council of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects and has been active in revegetating sand dunes as part of the Holdfast Bay Environment Committee.
She was a Foundation Member of ACF and helped found Men of the Trees, which later became Trees for Life - the Australian Plants Society provided the initial $500 to seed the organisation.
Margaret remains incredibly active, including for the past 20 years as the conservation and environment representative on the Powerlines Environment Committee, and the Convenor of the Friends of the Botanic Gardens growing group.
But it is through the Australian Plants Society that Margaret is best known and has created her greatest legacy.
Over the past 60 years Margaret Lee has filled most positions with the organisation, most recently as President of the national body.
In that time, the society has sold hundreds of thousands of native plants at their annual plant sales, leaving an extraordinary botanical legacy across South Australia.

A year after the violent attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, hundreds of judicial and political proceedings continue to search for the culprits. physical and intellectual of what happened, Increasingly tightening the screws on former President Donald Trump. The investigations are divided into two large groups: on the one hand, the police and judicial persecution of more than 700 people who committed acts of vandalism that day; On the other hand, the open political process in the House of Representatives against persons from the orbit of the former president.
Investigations showed that Trump and his allies made a concerted effort to prevent a congressional session chaired by Mike Pence from certifying Biden as the winner of the November 2020 presidential election on that day.The Capitol was not violated by the rebels, even during the Civil WarBiden said in July, “The castle of our democracy. It wasn’t opposition. It was chaos. It caused an existential crisis and a test of whether our democracy would survive.”
More than 700 accused
up to date, The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has indicted more than 700 individuals, residing across the United States, for crimes ranging from physically assaulting police officers to obstructing the performance of their duties, destroying government property and entering a building with restricted access.
The highest ruling issued so far, which was issued on December 17, fell A man attacked police officers with a fire extinguisher And that He was sentenced to five years and three months in prison. Among the more than 700 detainees, Only about 150 agreed to plead guiltyAccording to the data of the Ministry of Justice.
One of those who reached an agreement with the Attorney General’s office and pleaded guilty to obstructing official action during a congressional hearing was the most visible face of the assault on the Capitol, the man who disguised himself as a bison and declared himself a “Shaman Qanoun.” Jacob Chansley, Who is the In November, he was sentenced to 41 months in prison.
Thought Leaders to the Conference
While the FBI and Justice are dealing with the citizens who carried out the accidents, Parliament A parallel investigation is underway into what happened on January 6 and earlier days at the highest levels of the US government. The committee is made up of nine members, but only two of them are Republican and its future is in doubt if conservatives win control of the House of Representatives in the November legislative elections.
Unlike the courts where attackers are prosecuted, Congress does not have the power to punish anyone, so the investigation is just informational. But if any of the people who have been called to testify refuse to do so, the commission can charge them with contempt and then it’s up to the Justice Department to file charges. This was the case with Three colaboradores about TrumpYour ex-adviser and campaign manager Steve Bannon, former chief of staff Mark Meadows Former Deputy Prosecutor Jeffrey Clark, they are all found in contempt.
What could happen to Trump?
At the end of the debate after the Bannon, Meadows and Clark cases, the figure of the former president himself emerges: Will the commission ask the Justice Department to file criminal charges against Trump based on its findings? The possibility exists, and the American press asserts that it is something for the Democrats, but even among the ranks of the progressives themselves and the media in their orbit there are divided opinions.
While some voices, such as committee chair Benny Thompson, want to move the investigation to its final consequences, others warn of the risk that a request of this kind could further politicize Americans’ perception of the committee and even help Trump present himself as a victim of persecution. political. What is more, The commission’s request by itself will not have any legal consequences, its health will only be useful for the government to decide whether to act or not.
On the occasion of the first anniversary of the Trump attack, who retains some control in the Republican Party, Announcing a press conference in Florida for that dayDuring which he is likely to repeat that the elections were stolen. Although there is no evidence to prove it, surveys show it About two-thirds of Republican voters believe him.
Almost all Republican members of Congress, well familiar with the political power of It seems that they support him Trump. To one of the most extreme people, Marjorie Taylor GreenHis Twitter account has been permanently suspended for spreading false information about the coronavirus pandemic. Twitter had previously and temporarily restricted Green’s personal account for sharing false information about the 2020 presidential election. Like its political leader, whose social media accounts have also been taken down, Green dismissed the action on Sunday, saying that “Big Tech and the Communist Democrats Can’t Stop the Truth”.

We all feel like life’s too overwhelming sometimes. It seems like when it rains it pours, and we may think that things are totally out of our control and almost impossible for us to handle. At those intense moments, we may easily believe these thoughts without further questioning, and find ourselves carried away in feelings such as hopelessness, desperation and fear, that accompany our belief.
And we may not even realize that we are breathing. We often forget to pause and ask ourselves, “Could there be any other way of looking at this?” We get drifted away by the thoughts and feelings generated by assuming, in the autopilot mode, that the answer is no, without even asking the question… CONTINUE READING
In the age of empowerment, models are on a mission to break the stereotypes and challenge the criteria by which their success is measured.
Oxford Dictionary’s definition of a model is “A person employed to display clothes by wearing them.” Which is, in the literal sense, true, of course – but clearly inadequate especially when one thinks about the successful, outspoken and inspiring models of our time, like Adwoa Aboah, Winnie Harlow, Ashley Graham, Hari Nef and Halima Aden. If there was a chance to edit that definition now and expand it, what could’ve been said?
A model is a person (i.e. a human, not a hanger) who has a unique character, soul, opinions and beliefs. A person who works hard to show that, that there’s much more to them. A person who works hard in the professional sense too, in not always so glamorous conditions which they have little control over, while more often than not facing gender and racial discrimination, verbal abuse and bullying, sexual assault and constant criticism about how to look, what to eat, who to become. A person who has scars and marks, insecurities and health issues like everyone else, but perhaps feels that people don’t want to hear about all that, they just want to see the body – the person who is employed to display clothes by wearing them.CONTINUE READING
How social media platforms are being used by young people for experiencing art is a current issue that most people can have an idea about or be familiar with, as it is being focused on and explored constantly. In this short story, I wanted to take a slightly different approach and reflect on the role of social media on experiencing art not from the point of view of a young individual or a millennial; but from the perspective and experience of a pre-social media generation. I hope you’ll enjoy.
How many art museums or galleries are there today, that don’t have an active Facebook or Twitter page? What about the number of institutions that continue to have inflexible rules when it comes to photography in their spaces? How many of us, especially as millennials, didn’t take a #MuseumSelfie to post on Instagram yet? Even if we don’t know the exact numbers, we can easily guess the answers to these questions. Social media is becoming or already became an indispensable element in the world of art; affecting both how the institutions represent themselves and reach people, and how we experience and perceive art and these institutions; which brings many more interesting questions to the table.
In my interview with Mine Kaplangı, an art curator, artist representative and editor based in Istanbul, I wanted to tackle this growing, intriguing relationship and the questions it raises further. Mine, who is currently working on curating the yearly program of BLOK art space, a well-known contemporary art space in Istanbul, gave many thought-provoking answers to my questions.

Дагестан: Как ликвидировали лидеров бандподполья
Dagestan: How leaders of the underground were liquidated
A major success of security forces ended an operation carried out last Saturday in the Dagestan regional center Gunib. The Special Forces FSB eliminated Magomedali Vagabova whom intelligence agencies believe the attacks in the Moscow metro, committed in March of this year and claimed the lives of 40 people. Liquidation Vagabova apparently, was another indication that security forces have embarked on a targeted killing militants and their leaders. Only at the end of last week in the Khasavyurt area first special forces shot machine with four militants, and was later eliminated the local leader of the commando Rustam Munch. In turn, after the destruction Vagabova militants believed in revenge, carried out a succession of armed attacks in Makhachkala, killing three people.
The appearance of large numbers of security forces residents Gunib noticed about six o'clock in the morning. The Special Forces Dagestani branch of the FSB and the police (they cordoned off the area of operations) came in the six "Ural", three armored personnel carriers and six "UAZah. Special Forces in a few minutes blocked the area around the former school building in which the past 15 years in the four-bedroom apartments inhabited district employees of municipal agencies.
Security officials interested in flat, which, according to their data, should have been one of the militia leaders Magomedali Vagabov. Owner of the flat 26-year-old Saadula Magomedov, head of a security guard Gunibsky district Abdulhalima Machaeva lived there with his 20-year-old wife Raisat Sindikovoy. As told Kommersant source in law enforcement, Saadula Magomedov was a member of the esteemed in Gunib family (his mother works as director of a local museum), himself a young man was also in good standing. "Blood on it was not - told Kommersant strongman - but recently he came under the influence of" forest "and became their accomplice."
As it turned out, the leader gubdenskoy subversive and terrorist groups Magomedali Vagabov (among the rebels was known as Saifullo Gubdensky and was considered second in command in the current hierarchy of the forbidden "Caucasus Emirate") appeared in the too distant from Gubdena place, because there has got another wife. In Gunib he appeared before, but how much time they spend in it at this time, security officials did not report.
The operation began with the protracted negotiations. At first, his house had left three other residents of apartments, including his mother and sister Saaduly Magomedov. He himself refused to leave, although within an hour relatives and security officers tried to persuade the young man to surrender. His older brother, Magomedov said that his "guests who are interested in the Feds." When asked to produce at least a wife (played by young married last year) Saadula Magomedov said: "She did not want to go." Meanwhile Magomedali Vagabov decided to use the protracted negotiations and break out of encirclement. But then he got a bullet in his leg and was forced to return to the house. And an hour after the start of negotiations gunmen opened fire on a Special Forces assault rifles and under-barrel grenade launcher.
After a few volleys of responses in the house was on fire. By noon, the active part of the operation was completed. After firefighters extinguished the fire at the battle site was discovered five corpses - owners of the apartment, 34-year-old Magomedali Vagabova, 17-year-old Salahuddin Zakaryaeva (son of the leader of the gang Abdulgafura Zakaryaeva liquidated along with 11 other militants in March last year Karabudahkentskom area) and another man, who has not yet been identified.
By noon the slave prohibited in Russia, the Caucasus Emirate "sites confirmed the death Sayfullaha Gubdenskogo. According to them, in the house were blocked five "mujahedeen," including the "Amir of the Dagestan Front of the Caucasus Emirate and the cadi. According to the site, being in the house of Salahuddin Zakaryan presented as "spokesperson of the Cadi and the Caucasus Emirate Amir of the Dagestan Front", "contacted the agency. According to the extremists, before his death Vagabov said: "I hurt ... I'm going to paradise!"
The location of Vagabova was Karabudahkentsky area and woodlands of several neighboring areas of the country. In recent years he kept in fear of his native village Gubden: victims of militant attacks have become not only police but also local residents openly opposed to the Wahhabis. The most tragic was the fate of the family head of the village police department Abdulmalik Magomedov. The head of the family was killed in October 2008 in a firefight with militants from the group Vagabova. A year later, in November 2009, at the beginning of the holy month of Ramazan Magomedov family came to the cemetery to honor his memory. Right on the grave was found a powerful explosive device. The explosion caused the policeman's widow Helen and her daughter Triftonidi Gulbara died on the spot, the sister of Mr. Magomedov Umuhanum Hizrieva later died in hospital. In survived only son, Rasul, who brought women to the cemetery, but he waited for them outside the fence. A few hours later, during preparations for the funeral, the cemetery was discovered another bomb - in the 5-6 m from the first explosion. Charge neutralized. And on July 12 in Gubdene was killed son Abdulmalik Magomedov and Helena Triftonidi Commander of the Order of Courage Senior Lieutenant Rasul Magomedov - was gunned down near gubdenskim township police station, where he worked as a security officer.
Interestingly, after the recent sensational resignation Doku Umarov Vagabov supported him, made an appeal. "To date, the sole legitimate ruler of the Muslims of the Caucasus is and remains the Amir Abu Usman. Mujahideen of the Caucasus swear allegiance to him," - he said.
Russian security services believe Vagabova organized the March bombings in the Moscow subway. One of the two suicide bombers, according to security officials, was the wife of gunman - a teacher from the village Balakhany Untsukulsky district of Dagestan Maryam Sharipov.
Liquidation Vagabova is a great success of Russian special services, said a member of the National Anti-Terrorist Committee, First Vice-Speaker of the Federation Council, Alexander Torshin. "Over time, the gunman would have grown to Shamil Basayev, no more and no less, - said Mr. Torshin .- Our special services, and this is a trend, eliminate the leaders before they have time to prepare a replacement." Yesterday at a meeting in Makhachkala, Dagestan president Magomedsalam Magomedov invited to submit for an award of law enforcement officers who distinguished themselves during a special operation to destroy Magomedali Vagabova. "From the republic's leadership, we decided to reward them financially," - the president added.
Liquidation Magomedali Vagabova was another successful operation to destroy the militias and their leaders. As already reported by Kommersant at the end of last week in the Khasavyurt area FSB eliminated four militants tried to shoot back. And then it became known that in the village Bammatyurt during a joint operation by the FSB and the Interior Ministry leader killed Khasavyurt subversive and terrorist group Rustam Munch.
However, once we became aware of the elimination Magomedali Vagabova in Makhachkala were a number of armed attacks against militants. First, criminals, riding on a white VAZ-2107, staged a massacre in the village of Separators of the city: the street Hurshilova they opened fire with automatic weapons a policeman, who was in his car VAZ-21114 (he died on the spot), and later at the cafe "Boomer" on street Fonvizin fired at a senior operative of the Criminal Investigation Branch of the Soviet police department Makhachkala (he was wounded in the forearm) and 52-year-old visitor (he died on the spot). After that, hiding from persecution, some garages, located at the house N 15 on the street Perov, they fired the captain of the local military unit, who died of his wounds. According to a source of Kommersant in the power structures of Dagestan, there could be a campaign of revenge subordinates Magomedali Vagabova. "According to our data, in Makhachkala, there are several groups who reported directly to him - said the source - it is possible that this was a reaction to the elimination of their leader."
March 8, 2005 in the Chechen village of Tolstoy-Yurt during a special operation FSB was killed President Aslan Maskhadov, Chechnya. According to one version, he ordered the guard to shoot himself after their bunker was discovered.
June 17, 2006 during clashes in Argun was killed Maskhadov's successor Abdul-Halim Saydulaev. According to the then prime minister, Ramzan Kadyrov, the militants gave someone from his entourage for 1500 rubles.
10 July 2006 on the outskirts of the village of Ekazhevo in Ingushetia as a result of the FSB special operation was blown up "Kamaz", which was the first vice-premier Chechnya, Brigadier General and terrorist Shamil Basayev.
April 4, 2007 during a special operation branch of the FSB and the MVD in the Vedeno region of Chechnya killed Suleiman Imurzaev (Khairulla), who commanded the congregation in the south-eastern Chechnya. He was considered one of the organizers of the assassination of Akhmad Kadyrov.
September 17, 2007 in Kizilyurt district of Dagestan eliminated local militia leader Rappani Khalilov. The house where he was hiding, razed to the ground armored vehicles and tanks.
January 17, 2009 in Dagestan branch of the FSB special forces and Interior Ministry eliminated religious and military authority Ichkerian Underground Hadieva Issa, who on behalf of Chechnya envoy Akhmed Zakayev to set up armed units in the Caucasus.
