Congratulations Amy MacQueen and Rich Olson, promoted to Associate Professors of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry!
Amy MacQueen, Associate Professor of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
Professor MacQueen is a geneticist and molecular cell biologist whose research focuses on meiosis, the process of splitting and recombination of genetic material that occurs when reproductive cells are formed. Her work seeks to understand the fundamental cellular mechanisms of these events, which may ultimately clarify how errors arise in this process, which can lead to birth defects such as Down syndrome. MacQueen has received significant NIH grant support and has published several high-impact papers on her research in this area. She teaches courses on cell biology and advanced labs in molecular biology and genetics.
Rich Olson, Associate Professor of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
Professor Olson’s research uses X-ray crystallography and other biophysical methods to study the structure and function of proteins that are central to health and disease. His work, supported by a significant NIH grant, seeks to discover how otherwise benign bacteria transform into dangerous human pathogens. Olson’s highly-cited 2011 article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on the structure of a pore-forming toxin associated with cholera has had a significant impact on the field. He teaches courses on membrane protein structure and signal transduction.

The agreement signed by the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, the UN's Special Representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations Augustine P Mahiga, the current Speaker of the House Shariff Hassan Sheikh Aden and the current President of Somalia Sharif Sheikh Ahmed ensures the resignation of the Prime Minister and seeks to elect a President and Speaker of Parliament.
There will be yet another shakeup of ministers and a new prime minister elected in the next 30 days.
Since this document is being distributed by the current speaker of the house, it can be assumed that this document was constructed in his favor. The only section that seems to push back on Hassan's goals is a paragraph that sets out general conduct:
"Both Government and Parliament will endeavor to create an environment that is conducive to a cooperative working relationship and shall refrain from media recrimination, threats of impeachment of the President, Speaker and two deputy speakers of Parliament and the dismissal of the Parliament"

How your under-wired bra could kill you... if you're a keen walker
- Metal in under-wired bras can cause compasses to be reversed because of the magnetic effect
- Fears that people will walk off in the wrong direction and put their safety at risk
- Car keys, magnets in mobile phone cases and GPS devices may also reverse compass needles
Wearing certain types of bras may lead to potentially fatal navigational errors, walkers have been warned.
Outdoor enthusiasts risk making mistakes because items they carry - including under-wired bras - can stop compasses from working, Scotland`s mountaineering group has said.
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland, which represents 11,300 climbers and walkers, said incidents where compasses were affected by reverse polarity were increasing.
Haywire: Under-wired bra straps could cause the compass needles to be reversed - potentially causing a fatal accident, Scotland's mountaineering group warned today
Magnets inside mobile phone cases and GPS devices and also the metal in car keys and under-wired bras could affect compass needles, the council warned.
It said walkers and climbers were at greatest risk during bad weather.
MCofS safety officer Heather Morning has highlighted the issue after Nigel Williams, head of training at Glenmore Lodge, near Aviemore, wrote about the problem in the Scottish Mountaineer magazine.
Ms Morning said a call from Mr Williams for experiences of reverse polarity had seen stories from outdoor enthusiasts come 'flooding in'.
She said needles could be switched from point north to south, sending people off in the wrong direction while trying to navigate off a hill or mountain in foul weather.
The safety officer, who has experienced reverse polarity on three occasions in the past three months, said: 'It's a fact, the catalyst for a substantial number of mountain rescue call outs in the UK is either directly or partially a result of a navigation error.
Mountain danger: Walkers could be sent off course by compasses going haywire in places like Aviemore, Scotland, putting themselves at risk
'Is that error always the fault of the individual navigator? Or is there some insidious problem looming, causing havoc with our previously extremely reliable navigation tool - the compass?'
Magnets in avalanche transceivers, radios, personal locator beacons and cameras may also affect the map reading tool, she said.
Ms Morning added: 'A compass is a precise measuring instrument and should be treated accordingly.
'Magnetic fields exist around many items we commonly carry with us on the hill; mobiles & smart phones, magnets hidden inside mobile phone cases, avalanche transceivers, radios, personal locator beacons, GPS, cameras, car keys, small magnets on belt fastenings, under-wired bras.
'Lurking unexpectedly on route to the hill lies security loops as you enter outdoor and food stores, speakers in your car doors or on parcel shelves.
'The compass needle may just be very briefly, partially or totally reversed when in close proximity to one of the above mentioned.
'If the needle becomes sluggish and slow to settle - it may appear to stick and be out of balance - it has become partially reversed.
'If the "north" arrow - usually red - is pointing to south instead of north, then your compass has become completely reversed.'
Fourteen people have died on Scottish mountains this year - eight in avalanches - and there have also been scores of other incidents.

The Boston Globe reported that Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi held his own football camp today at Gillette Stadium for fifty-four lucky children.
The kids were reportedly all dressed in No. 54 jerseys and were participating in the second annual Kids Football Clinic with Tedy Bruschi, sponsored by insurance company SBLI (Savings Bank Life Insurance Co. of Massachusetts).
The campers were chosen based on essays they had to write about their “game-plan” for being healthy and doing well in school.

What you need to know
- The OnePlus Media Storage app appears to be eating up storage space on some OnePlus 9 Pro phones.
- In some cases, the app takes up over 100GB of storage space for no apparent reason.
- The only temporary fix is to clear out the trash folder in OnePlus Gallery.
A strange bug is causing the OnePlus Media Storage app on some OnePlus 9 Pro phones to use up over 100GB of storage space. Android Police founder Artem Russakovskii, who was one of the users affected by the issue, claimed that his phone started lagging and became unresponsive after the phone's 256GB of internal storage was almost entirely filled up.
After some digging, Artem found that the OnePlus Media Storage app was using a whopping 126GB of data, and the "Clear storage" button was greyed out. A few other OnePlus 9 Pro users have also reported that the app is using more than 100GB of data on their device.
Weirdly, it appears OnePlus' best Android phone is the only one that is affected by this bug. Owners of other OnePlus phones such as the vanilla OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9R haven't reported anything similar. OnePlus has confirmed to Android Central that it is currently investigating the issue, so you can expect it to be solved with an upcoming software update.
Fortunately, a temporary fix is available. To redeem the storage space, you'll have to open the OnePlus Gallery app and empty the trash folder under the Collections tab. Depending on the amount of storage that has been used up by the app, it could take a few minutes for the process to complete. Until the issue is fixed, you may have to manually clear the trash folder every few days to ensure your storage space isn't used up unnecessarily by the Media Storage app.

The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines.
In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
When it comes to New World wine regions, it is widely agreed that many of the finest wines are grown and produced in California. The long stretches of coastline and the valleys and mountainsides which come off them are ideal areas for vine cultivation, and for over a century now, wineries have found a perfect home in the hot, dry state, with many of the wines produced here going on to reach world class status. The state is greatly helped by the brisk oceanic winds which cool the otherwise hot and dry vineyards, which hold mineral rich soils covering vast areas and featuring many established wineries. The state is split into four main regions, the largest by far being the central valley which stretches over three hundred miles in length.
Country: United States
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosÃ© wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
Appellation: Santa Barbara
California is one of the New World's truly great wine producing countries, and within the state, there are few regions quite as enduringly popular or successful as Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara benefits from the fantastic sunshine the state is famous for, as well as the cooling and temperate Pacific Ocean winds which help to slow the ripening process and ensure the grapes which thrive there end up expressing more flavor and aroma in the bottle. The region itself is renowned for producing high quality and flavorful red wines, commonly made from classic French grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon. However, recent years have seen the wineries of Santa Barbara eager to experiment, and today several different red and white wine grapes are growing well in this beautiful region.

1. During the entire ten years of the persecution, they were constantly plotting and warring against one another. For the sea could not be navigated, nor could men sail from any port without being exposed to all kinds of outrages; being stretched on the rack and lacerated in their sides, that it might be ascertained through various tortures, whether they came from the enemy; and finally being subjected to punishment by the cross or by fire.
2. And besides these things shields and breastplates were preparing, and darts and spears and other warlike accoutrements were making ready, and galleys and naval armor were collecting in every place. And no one expected anything else than to be attacked by enemies any day. In addition to this, famine and pestilence came upon them, in regard to which we shall relate what is necessary in the proper place.

Lili Reinhart has won over some fans hearts with her role as Betty Cooper in The CW series Riverdale. Now, she's taking her talents to Amazon Studios' adaptation of the young adult novel Our Chemical Hearts, by Krystal Sutherland.
Titled Chemical Hearts, the movie will air on Amazon Prime Video as an exclusive original. Reinhart will play Grace Town, a transfer student and primary love interest of Henry Page. Reinhart will also executive produce. Deadline reports Richard Tanne will write and direct. Tanne previously worked on 2016's Southside With You, which premiered at that year's Sundance Film Festival and told the story of the first date between Barack and Michelle Obama. You can read a summary below:
In Chemical Hearts, 17-year-old Henry Page has never been in love. He fancies himself a romantic, but the once in a lifetime kind of love that he’s been hoping for just hasn’t been in the cards for him—at least not yet. Instead, he’s been happy to focus all of his attention on finally becoming the editor of his high school newspaper. Then, on the first day of senior year, he meets transfer student Grace Town (Reinhart) and knows everything’s about to change.
Reinhart has won several Teen Choice Awards for playing Betty Cooper in Riverdale. On top of Our Chemical Hearts, Reinhart will also star in the movie Hustlers alongside Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu.
Riverdale stars KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Madelaine Petsch, Ashleigh Murray, Casey Cott, Mark Consuelos, Skeet Ulrich, Marisol Nichols, and Madchen Amick and will return to The CW this fall.

It starts with those two simple words and suddenly you’re worlds away.
I wish I looked like that.
I wish my hair was that color.
I wish I was that thin.
I wish I had those clothes.
I wish he was my boyfriend.
I found myself scrolling through Facebook and passing an ad (oh those annoying advertisements) and thinking, “I wish I was as thin as that model.” Then I stopped. Out of all of the things I could have wished for, that was what I wanted? To be thin? To be “beautiful”? I had to stop and shake my head in despair that my heart was so unfocused on God and so focused on me.
As I sat back and started to assess what was going on, my mind took the path to King Soloman. Yeah, that guy with 700+ wives and who knows how many concubines. Well, he had his ‘good’ moments too and one of them was when he was asked by God what he desired and, rather than saying wealth, fame, or charm, he chose wisdom.
And then there was me…wishing for “thin-ness”.
I’m under no assumptions that you (if you are a woman of any age, weigh, height, or ethnicity) have not wished for something regarding your physical being. I have known women of all types who, no matter how many people could point out beautiful things about them, could then point out ten other things that were wrong with them. Even the most confident of women struggle with self-image.
I don’t want this post to be one of those that bashes Photoshop or the media or actresses or men. Sure, there could be cases made against each of those things, but instead I’d like to get to the heart of the matter.
You and God.
Really, that’s all there is. I hear you trying to argue with me but it wont work. The only One who matters in this discussion of your true beauty is how your heavenly Father views you. Sure, that doesn’t always make it easy when you’re hoping that attractive man would notice you or you wish you could lose weight, but I do know for a fact that He is the only One who can change your image of yourself.
You’ve probably heard the popular verses on women’s self image:
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.
1 Peter 3:3
These verses are used often and are a great reminder to women that our outward beauty isn’t what’s important. In the midst of a media saturated world that tells us exactly how we should look, they help us to remember that these imposed ideas aren’t from God but from mankind.
But, in addition to this, I want to draw our hearts to an even more intimate portion of scripture.
O LORD, you have searched me and known me!…You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me… For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made… My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
Psalm 139: 1,5,13-16
Ladies, hear my heart on this. God formed you. God. The Heavenly Creator, the maker of the Heavens and the Earth, the same God who drew Ruth to Boaz and the same God who was with Queen Esther when she went to see the King. The same God who sent His beloved Son to Earth to be scorned, mocked, and murdered. The same God who raised Christ from the dead to fulfill his promise to us – to make a way for us to come to Him.
That very same God created you just as you are. He didn’t make you hoping that you’d cut your hair a certain way or attract a certain type of man. He didn’t create you to be prideful of you image. He created you for His good purpose. To image Him. To show His love. To have His focus.
I’d encourage you ladies to take some time this week to ask yourself how you view you. What do you see when you look in he mirror? What do you wish you saw?
Does what you see match up with how God sees you? Does what you want to see line up with His desire for His daughters? If not, ask Him to help shape your desires. Ask Him to show you who He wants you to be.
It’s only in Him that you can be truly satisfied with YOU!

DAET, Camarines Norte--A joint group composed of members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has created a dedicated task team to focus on the investigation of the recent bombing of heavy equipment by suspected members of the New People's Army (NPA) at Paracale town.
In a case conference yesterday held at Camp Wenceslao Q. Vinzons here, the joint group focused on the identification of the suspected rebels.
It would be recalled that around 30 of the suspects who introduced themselves as members of the rebel group, were carrying high-powered firearms when they arrived at Sitio Buhangin, Barangay Gumarus, Paracale at around 10 p.m. on December 22.
Said location was where VC Varin construction company was conducting bridge construction project.
According to the investigators, the group directed Assistant Construction Foreman Justino Cardenas y Rivarez, along with some construction wokers to proceed to the seashore, some 100 meters away from the location of the heavy equipment.
Using electric improvised explosive devices (IED), the group of suspected rebels then blew up four units of heavy equipment of the VC Varin construction company, including a road roller, pay loaders, and a back hoe.
Shortly after the incident, one of the suspected NPA members believed to be the leader uttered: "Sabihin niyo mga NPA kami, pasensya na kayo kailangan lang namin gawin ito dahil yung kontratista niyo ay hindi sumusunod sa usapan."
They then walked to the direction of Barangay Luklukan, Jose Panganiban town. As of press time, the suspects are still at large.
During the initial investigation, the authorities recovered from the crime scene a duplex wire believed to be used as electric firing wire and small broken engine parts with explosive residue.
They also estimated the damages to be around Php8,000,000.
During the case conference, Francisco Andaya, foreman of VC Varin Construction firm, said that he will urge some of the workers to execute their affidavits relative to the incident on Monday, December 29.
The information in said affidavits will be compared with the existing profile of NPA members operating in the province.
Meanwhile, Robinson Sabas, also of VC Varin Construction, said that the incident may be an offshoot of a previous demand allegedly from the NPA while they were concreting the road from Bagong Silang, Labo to Barangay Alayao, Capalonga.
Sabas added that he will provide the copy of the demand letter from the rebel group, which was represented by a certain Ka Favian.
In a report from the Camarines Norte Provincial Police Office, PSupt Leo Estavillo Quevedo, DPDA, and LTC Medel M. Aguilar of 49IB, 9th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army said that they will work hard, share information, and will not stop until the perpetrators of the "terroristic act" are brought to justice.
The NPA has not yet issued a statement on the incident.--BICOLSTANDARD.COM

Paternity leave (birth, adoption or foster care of a child)
Article 4, paragraph 24, letter a) of Italian law 28 June 2012 n. 92 instituted mandatory and optional leave, an alternative to a mother’s maternity leave, that can be used by an employed father, including adoptive and foster fathers, before and no later than the fifth month of the child’s life.
Article 1, paragraph 354 of Italian law 11 December 2016 n. 232 (2017 budget law) also extended the mandatory leave for employed fathers for births and adoptions/fostering in the 2017 calendar year and provided, for the 2018 calendar year, for the increase in the afore-mentioned mandatory leave from two to four days.
For the 2019 calendar year, article 1, paragraph 278 of Italian law 30 December 2018, n. 145 (2019 budget law) increased the number of mandatory leave days to five.
The same article 1, paragraph 354 of Italian law 232/2016 did not extend the, optional leave, for 2017, but reinstated it by one day for 2018.
For the 2019 calendar year, article 1, paragraph 278 of Italian law 30 December 2018, n. 145 (2019 budget law) confirmed the possibility of using one day of optional leave instead of the mother.
Working fathers, including adoptive and foster fathers, can use the above leave no later than the fifth month of the child’s life or from adoption or fostering between 1st January 2013 and 31st December 2019.
As regards working fathers serving in public administrations, the Department of Public Administration of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers clarified that the Minister for Public Administration would approve a regulation that identifies and defines the areas, methods and time frames for adjusting the legislation.
START DATE AND DURATION
Mandatory leave can be used by the father by the fifth month of the child’s life (or from their entry into the family/Italy for national/international adoption or foster care) and therefore during the working mother’s maternity leave, or afterwards provided it is within said time limit. This leave is considered an autonomous right and is therefore in addition to the mother’s leave and is in any case independent from the mother’s right to her leave. The mandatory leave is also given to a father who uses the paternity leave pursuant to article 28, Italian legislative decree of 26 March 2001, n. 151.
Working fathers are entitled to:
- four days of mandatory leave, which can also be used non continuously, for birth, adoption or fostering events between 1st January 2018 and 31st December 2018;
- five days of mandatory leave, which can also be used non continuously, for birth, adoption or fostering events between 1st January 2019 and 31st December 2019.
The father’s optional leave is, on the other hand, subject to the working mother’s choice not to use one day of maternity leave. The Father’s Day therefore brings forward the end date of the mother’s maternity leave.
The optional leave can also be used at the same time as the mother’s leave and must be used within five months of the birth of the child (or entry into the family/Italy for national/international adoption or fostering), independently of the end of the mother’s mandatory leave, with her agreement to waive one day. Lastly, the leave is still valid if the mother waives her maternity leave, even if she has the right to it.
WHAT AM I ENTITLED TO?
The working father has the right, for the days of mandatory and optional leave, to a daily indemnity paid by the INPS equal to 100% of his remuneration.

Ways To Organize For Last Days Of Your Dying Dog
Last yr, Grand Prairie Animal Services took in over 1,292 underaged kittens at the shelter throughout Kitten Season. This season, typically starting from spring via summer, refers to the time of yr when many litters of kittens are born. At minimum, a kitten have to be 2lbs and eight weeks to be adopted out to a loving household. This population of adorable furbabies creates one of the greatest challenges for our city’s shelter. “Home for Hounds” goals to make shelter canines extra adoptable and jail inmates more employable. The City of Grand Prairie Animal Services offers the canine friends and can bring them to and from the jail. The hope is that Home for Hounds will scale back the number of canines that need to be euthanized in Dallas County yearly.

Several years ago, California utility regulators created a special charge for “super users” who consume a lot more electricity than average.
Last year, it was super hot across much of San Diego County.
Guess what happened. A lot of people got super high bills.
According to SDG&E, nearly 100,000 customers were hit with the “super user” penalty last summer.
The high bills prompted predictable backlash. Just when people needed energy the most, they were penalized for using it.
“I live in Santee and it’s hot!” Sen. Brian Jones said in a recent installment of his “Are You Kidding Me?” video series.
Jones is among the lawmakers concerned that the penalty, meant to promote energy conservation, is instead hurting customers who are just trying to survive hotter summers.
He represents Ramona, which had an all-time record high temperature of 117 degrees last year.
Late last year, SDG&E asked regulators to change or eliminate the super user penalty, which had since been renamed the “high usage charge,” also known as the “HUC,” pronounced like the Huck in “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”
In May, the CPUC rejected SDG&E’s request. The regulators concluded that most high bills were the result of using more power, not the penalty itself. It analyzed a typical bill and found scarce savings for typical customers if the penalty were eliminated.
The Utility Reform Network, a ratepayer advocacy group, also broke down SDG&E’s data and argued, yes, the penalty was increasing bills, but so were a bunch of other things. According to the group, the penalty amounted to $22 of the $322 average increase for many households and only $8 of the $191 average increase for low-income customers who received discounted rates.
SDG&E countered that using such averages masked how much the penalty hurt some customers. The company pulled out 13 customer bills that showed just how dramatic the penalty could be. The company compared the customers’ June 2018 bills, before things got too hot, when their July or August bills, when last summer’s heat wave really kicked in. One customer used 500 percent more power but had a 1,100 percent higher bill, which meant a June bill of $68 was followed by a $783 bill a month or two later as the customer tried to cope with the heat.
Now, SDG&E is pursuing some other options to help lower bills, according to a letter the company is disturbing to lawmakers along with information showing how their constituents are affected by the penalty. (Disclosure: The letter was written by Mitch Mitchell, SDG&E’s vice president for government affairs, who sits on Voice of San Diego’s board of directors.)
Some of the problem may go away automatically, as SDG&E moves customers into another billing plan that doesn’t charge people for high use in the same way and instead charges people depending on what time of day they use power. But these so-called “time of use” plans aren’t for everyone – indeed ratepayer advocates have also criticized these plans – and roughly a third of the company’s residential customers are still using billing plans subject to super user penalty.
Competing Visions Seek to Reform California’s Presidential Primary
A lawsuit filed against California Secretary of State Alex Padilla this week by a San Diego-based group seeks to change the way California conducts its presidential primaries. But Padilla and San Diego Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez have their own ideas about how to reform the process.
The lawsuit, filed by the Independent Voter Project, which is being represented by Cory Briggs and elections attorney Chad Peace, asks the court to declare the current process unconstitutional and to compel a truly “open presidential primary.” Though the players are mostly San Diego-based, the lawsuit was filed in San Bernardino Superior Court.
Under the current process, voters who are registered as No Party Preference can vote in the Democratic presidential primary if they request a ballot in advance. The Republican Party, however, doesn’t allow those voters to take part in the Republican presidential primary unless they switch their registration.
One of the plaintiffs in the case is Jeff Marston, a former Republican assemblyman representing San Diego, whom the lawsuit notes “would like the opportunity to vote in the primary election for a presidential candidate other than a Republican without being forced to change his party preference.”
The Independent Voter Project’s preferred solution is to issue No Party Preference voters a ballot that includes all presidential contenders. But because political parties don’t have to allow non-members to vote in their primaries, those parties would be able to choose whether to count those votes.
Meanwhile, Padilla, the defendant in the suit, supports a separate proposed change to the presidential primary system in the form of AB 681, written by Gonzalez (who is herself running for secretary of state when Padilla is termed out in 2022).
The bill would require county elections officials to send two different notices to voters informing them of their current party preference and information on the type of ballot they’ll be allowed to cast in the presidential primary. It would also allow voters to change their party preference without re-registering to vote.
But it stops short of allowing independent voters to vote for any presidential primary candidate, the change being sought by the Independent Voter Project.
Maienschein Leads Fundraising Race So Far
In 2018, Assemblyman Brian Maienschein had a close call thanks to a challenge from Democrat Sunday Gover. Though Gover announced soon after that race that she’d be running again in 2020, there’s now another challenger for Maienschein to worry about.
After Maienschein switched parties to become a Democrat, Republican June Cutter announced she’d be jumping in the race. She’s racked up a bevy of endorsements.
Now we have our first glimpse at how fundraising is going in the race.
Cutter announced she’s raised just over $106,000, while Maienschein posted substantially more: about $175,000. Gover has not yet submitted fundraising numbers.
Fundraising, of course, doesn’t necessarily predict success: Gover in 2018 came close to unseating Maienschein with just a fraction of the cash he had at the time.

Africa Leads the Trend for More Adventurous Gap Year Travel, Report Round the World ExpertsBy Roundtheworldexperts.co.uk, PRNE

Round the World Experts Report on the Changing Face of Gap Year Travel
NEW MALDEN, England, October 13, 2010 - According to research carried out by the Year Out Group the most popular
gap year destinations are shifting, due in part to the number of people
taking a career break, and also because of a shift in terms of what people
now want from a gap year.
Travellers are heading further afield and wanting to do something beyond
just sitting on a beach in Thailand, for example. In celebration of this
worldwide travel diversity Round The World Experts are today promoting round
the world flights (www.roundtheworldexperts.co.uk/) as the perfect way
of visiting a number of these far-flung destinations all on the same trip.
The Year Out Group, a company who specialise in providing information on
structured year out programmes, has found that South Africa and Kenya are the
most popular destinations for structured gap year placements, with increasing
numbers of gap year travellers avoiding the traditional destinations of
Australia and New Zealand, in favour of more exotic destinations and
activities, such as going on safari to see the 'Big Five' in Africa.
Australia and New Zealand still feature in the Top Ten, at 4 and 10
respectively, but the lesser popularised destination of Peru in South
America, also features in the list, along with the rather more unexpected
destination of Canada.
A spokesperson for Round The World Experts said "What we're seeing is a
truly globalised and diverse travelling community. Gap year travellers aren't
content with just a glorified holiday; they want exciting and varied
destinations, cultures and activities to experience. Although the old
favourites do offer these, more and more people are attracted to destinations
that have been under the radar of traditional gap year travel, such as Peru,
Tanzania and Fiji.
"Thanks, in part, to the larger numbers of people opting to take gap
years later in life, and the increasingly adventurous nature of recent
graduates, gap year travellers are now more willing to visit less chartered
territories, safe in the knowledge that they're bound to encounter other
travellers doing the same thing."

The iPhone became the only product whose sales of Apple’s main products declined during the season.
iPhone revenue fell by 20%, and revenue in Greater China dropped by 28%
Apple today released its fiscal fourth quarter performance report for 2020. Although revenue and profits exceeded market expectations, the iPhone became the only product that experienced a decline in sales of Apple’s main products during the quarter. Sales in Greater China were also higher. A sharp decline. Affected by this, Apple’s stock price fell nearly 5% after the market.
According to the financial report, Apple’s fourth-quarter revenue was US$64.7 billion, and the market was expected to be US$64.1 billion, compared with US$64 billion in the same period last year; net profit was US$12.7 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 8%.
From the perspective of products, iPhone sales in the fourth fiscal quarter were US$26.44 billion, a year-on-year decrease of approximately 20%; sales of wearable devices, home appliances and accessories were US$7.88 billion, compared with US$6.52 billion in the same period last year; Mac sales were US$9.032 billion, US$6.991 billion in the same period last year; iPad sales of US$6.797 billion, US$4.656 billion in the same period last year.
According to the financial report, sales in Greater China in the fourth fiscal quarter were US$7.95 billion, compared to US$11.13 billion in the same period last year, a year-on-year decrease of 28.57%.
However, Apple CEO Cook said that because Chinese consumers were waiting for the 5G iPhone, sales in the fourth quarter were weak. 5G is quite advanced in China, and Apple is full of confidence in this and has confidence in sales in Greater China in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
In addition, Apple revealed in its financial report that the “Apple One” subscription bundle will be released on October 31, Beijing time, providing services such as film and television, storage, music, and games.
Editor-in-chief’s comment: Judging from the fourth-quarter report, Apple’s non-iPhone business lines performed well overall, making up for the iPhone sales gap. The iPhone is still Apple’s main source of revenue. The iPhone 12 has seized the 5G major opportunity, as well as diversified prices and product strategies, which are very attractive to potential buyers in the Chinese market. However, the postponement of the iPhone 12 series will undoubtedly have a certain impact on Apple and the industrial chain…

Tesla has recalled over 320,000 vehicles in the United States, citing a possible issue with the tail lights.
Based on the recent filing published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles are 2023-2023 Tesla Model 3, produced between Oct. 19 and Nov. 5 of this year, and 2020-2023 Tesla Model Y, made between May 24, 2020, and Nov. 9, 2022.
The Nov. 15 recall report described the possible issue as follows: "In rare instances, taillamps on one or both sides of affected vehicles may intermittently illuminate due to a firmware anomaly that may cause false fault detections during the vehicle wake up process."
So far, no accidents or injuries have been reported, and Tesla stated that it would put out an over-the-air firmware update to correct the issue.
The new recall comes just a few days after Tesla recalled around 30,000 Model X cars due to a possibility that the front passenger airbag would deploy incorrectly, as reported by Reuters.
The publication stated that Tesla also had another recall in early November for over 40,000 Model S and Model X vehicles due to the potential that they might experience a loss of power steering assist on rough roads or after hitting a pothole.
As a result of the Nov. 18 recall, Tesla's stock decreased by almost 3%, putting it at its lowest in nearly two years. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Tesla has had 19 recalls in the U.S. this year so far.

After weeks of debate, my husband and I finally agreed on the perfect “couple” costume – Homemade Mr. and Mrs. Garden Gnome Costumes. We had an absolute blast making our costumes together too!
Our costume-making adventure began with a trip to the local second-hand stores where we found the base outfits. For me – a red jumper, bright blue turtleneck, and a curtain for an apron. For him – a pair of (ladies!) red pants, a bright blue turtleneck, and a (ladies!) green robe cut into a tunic.
Next, we headed to the fabric store for items to adorn our costumes – fabric paint, stencils, and ribbon to finish the apron; black vinyl stitched together to make a vest and belt; lace trim for the jumper collar; and big, bold buttons to add a punch of fun. We made our hats out of poster board covered with red felt.
My husband made our reversible signs out of foam board – “Welcome” and “Trick” or “Treat” – secured by a paint stir stick. We completed the look with white wigs, his beard and pipe, boot covers, and a little makeup.

The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things - Ann Aguirre
Author: Ann Aguirre
Publisher: Feiwel and Friends (Macmillan), 2015 (Hardcover)
Length: 328 pages
Genre: Young Adult; Realistic Fiction
Started: May 29, 2015
Finished: June 2, 2015
From the inside cover:
Sage Czinski is trying really hard to be perfect. If she manages it, people won't peer beyond the surface or ask hard questions about her past. She's learned to substitute causes for relationships, and it's been working just fine...until Shane Cavendish strolls into her math class. He's a little antisocial, a lot beautiful, and everything she never knew she always wanted.
Shane just wants to be left alone to play guitar and work on his music. He's got heartbreak and loneliness in his rearview mirror, and this new school represents his last chance. He doesn't expect to be happy; he only wants to graduate and move on. Though he never counted on a girl like Sage.
But love doesn't mend all broken things, and sometimes, life has to fall apart before it can be put back together again.
I picked this up purely for the title, I won't lie.
Sage is sixteen and trying hard to be as good as possible so her aunt won't be tempted to send her back to a group home or foster care. Since moving in with her aunt Gabby three years ago, Sage has managed to project a completely different persona than she was during her difficult past. No one would guess that the "Post-It Princess" that leaves encouraging notes for people on their lockers would have the kind of record Sage has. She does a pretty good job at it, though at the expense of a well-rounded social life. When her best friend betrays her and she meets Shane for the first time, it sets off an effect that allows Sage to blossom. Her grades improve through Shane's tutoring, she forgives her friend Ryan, and she makes more friends and actually socializes. Sage is incredibly happy, until she stands up against a bully and both parties threaten to expose secrets about the other. When everything is falling down around them, will Sage and Shane survive?
Sage is incredible as a character, she's very down-to-earth and realistic with her troubled background, but still adorable and quirky that you can't help falling in love with her. Shane is troubled too, but easily opens up to Sage and allows her influence to soften his edge. Their relationship together is really quite sweet and almost gave me cavities, but it's quite a good model for a teenage relationship: They communicate and compromise, are caring and considerate of each other, and really are each other's rock in everything. Most of the book is purely character-driven, with Sage and Shane at the wheel, so if you get hooked on these two, you'll have a great ride. The writing is well done, the supporting characters are great as well with good personalities, and the author did a really good job with Sage and Shane's back stories, I was almost on the verge of crying when everything unraveled.
An coming-of-age romance that is just amazingly awesome, you need to read this...right now.
Thoughts on the cover:
I love how they incorporated Sage's trademark post-it notes into the cover, and the black and white pics of Sage and Shane are a nice added touch.

Shake Shack Delivers Nationwide Now & You Can Get It for Free This Weekend
I know there's an ongoing debate about the country's best cheeseburger, but in my opinion, the In-N-Out loyalists are wrong. Shake Shack will always be better to me. And if the crisp crinkle cut fries weren't enough to warrant an order, maybe this will: you can get free Shake Shack delivery all weekend long.
On Thursday, Shake Shack announced plans to roll out nationwide delivery via Grubhub, and to celebrate the new partnership, the chain is slashing the fees through Sunday, November 17.
"As we begin our integrated partnership with Grubhub, we're focused on creating the best delivery experience for both our restaurant operators and our guests," Shake Shack CEO Randy Garutti said in a statement. "We're committed to being an accessible omnichannel business, giving our guests the chance to experience Shake Shack whenever they want it, with convenience and ease. We're excited to launch this partnership nationwide and begin our marketing efforts together across the country."
While delivery is already available, "other elements of the partnership" will launch in 2020. Though I have no further deets on what that actually means, anything involving the two brands is up our alley. Who doesn't love cheeseburgers and food brought straight to your door?
"We've been able to build out a deeply-integrated and robust partnership that positively impacts all parties, including the restaurant and our diners," Grubhub Founder and CEO Matt Maloney continued. "Shake Shack is an exciting addition to our growing number of restaurants, and we know diners will be eager to order their favorites for delivery. With the power of both brands, we're confident in our execution ahead and the large opportunity that this partnership represents for both Shake Shack guests and our diners."
OK, one Shack Burger for me, please!

With the development of aerogels, aerogels are gradually commercialized. Aerogel Insulation Blanket is one of the aerogel products, used for thermal insulation in construction, industrial equipment, petrochemical and other fields. Compared with traditional thermal insulation materials, what are the advantages of aerogel blanket?
1. Aerogel blanket and glass wool
Aerogel blanket and glass wool are both Class A non-combustible materials and have excellent fire resistance and fire resistance. However, the maximum operating temperature of aerogel blanket is 1400°C, which is higher than the 538°C of glass wool. The thermal conductivity of aerogel is 0.017(w/m.k)/25℃, and that of glass wool is 0.033~0.040(w/m.k)/25℃. Therefore, aerogel blanket has more advantages than glass wool in terms of thermal insulation performance.
2. Aerogel blanket and rock wool
The maximum operating temperature of rock wool is 800°C, and the thermal conductivity is 0.037~0.043(w/m.k)/25°C. Therefore, the aerogel blanket has better high temperature resistance and thermal insulation performance. In addition, the density of aerogel blanket is very small, only 3 kilograms per cubic meter, and the density of rock wool is 80-200KG per cubic meter, so the load of rock wool is heavier.
3. Aerogel blanket and rubber plastic
The operating temperature of rubber and plastic is -40~105°C. It is a B1 and B2 grade material with a thermal conductivity of about 0.034w/m·k. Therefore, it is not as good as aerogel in terms of high temperature resistance and thermal insulation performance. Rubber plastic, like aerogel, is dust-free and lightweight, and its waterproof performance is better than rock wool and glass wool.
4. Aerogel blanket and polyurethane insulation board
The operating temperature of polyurethane insulation board is -96~200℃, the fire protection grade is Class B, and the thermal conductivity is 0.018~0.023w/(m.k). Its thermal insulation performance is similar to aerogel blanket, but its high temperature resistance is not as good as aerogel blanket. In addition, the polyurethane insulation board is made of harder material, so it is not as flexible as aerogel blanket.

We present measurements of the two-photon absorption coefficients β2 of 10 different semiconductors having band-gap energies between 1.4 and 3.7 eV. We find that β2 varies as Eg−3, as predicted by theory. In addition, the absolute values of β2 agree with theory, which includes the effect of nonparabolic bands, the average difference being less than 26%. This agreement permits confident predictions of two-photon absorption coefficients of other materials at other wavelengths.

U.S. officials suspect a former Guantanamo Bay detainee played a role in the attack on the American compound in Benghazi, Libya, and are planning to designate the group he leads as a foreign terrorism organization, according to officials with the plans.
Militiamen under the command of Abu Sufian bin Qumu, the leader of Ansar al-Sharia in the Libyan city of Darnah, participated in the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, U.S. officials said.
Witnesses have told American officials that Qumu’s men were in Benghazi before the attack took place on Sept. 11, 2011, according to the officials.
It’s unclear if they where there as part of a preplanned attack or out of happenstance. The drive from Darnah to Benghazi is several hours.
The State Department is expected to tie Qumu’s group to the Benghazi attack when it designates three branches of Ansar al-Sharia in Darnah, Tunisia and Benghazi as foreign terrorism organizations in the coming days.
Qumu and two other individuals, including militia leaders Ahmed Abu Khattala and Seif Allah bin Hassine, will also be identified as “specially designated global terrorists,” a determination that allows U.S. officials to freeze their financial assets and bar American citizens and companies from doing business with them.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the developments.
About a dozen criminal complaints have been filed in the Benghazi case, with more expected. U.S. intelligence officials have said several militias had a hand in the Benghazi attack. Some of those individuals charged so far are from Darnah, although it’s not clear if they are tied to Qumu’s group. Khattala has already been named in a criminal complaint. The FBI declined to comment Tuesday.
Qumu fought alongside the Taliban after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and then fled to Pakistan and was later arrested in Peshawar. He was turned over to the United States and held at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
In 2007, Qumu was sent to Libya, where he was detained. The Libyan government released him in 2008.

Hello Virtual IFS Members and all you amazing agents out there!! Like all of our other IFS events, this event also has a wonderful piece of artwork done by one of our featured artists from the IFS Media Artwork Competition! You should get this media when you redeem your decoded IFS passcodes for your Virtual IFS event! This months featured artist is agent PuppyZwolle from Nijverdal the Netherlands.
How long have you been playing?
I’m actually not sure. I downloaded the game when it was just out but started playing seriously years later. About 2.5 years if I have a guess.
What inspired you to submit your piece to the contest?
I’m an artist. It was a challenge from a fellow player that sent me the link. The idea for the design was almost instant. The making took a bit longer though.
Is there anything about your artwork you want people to know?
The artwork is basically the tree of life. Except in this case there are two trees. On one hand they are wrestling, fighting for the light. On the other they are only getting to the light because they both hold on to the other for support. Take either one away and the remaining part will come crashing down.
Is there a website where people can see your artwork or other artwork you like to show?
I only have “old people websites”: “Henk-Jan Bakker Colors the World” on Facebook and Henk-Jan Bakker on Youtube.
Are there any details you would like to share about your craft? If…when you visit my corner of the web you’ll see that I predominantly paint. Lately I mostly use the digital brush but that is mainly due to health issues. But I also sculpt, do a bit of molding, build props. I consider myself a maker and an artist. In that order. Last thing I made (beside paintings) was a full leather plague doctor mask complete with hat. Turned out nicely.
Do you plan to make swag of your image?
Bit of a sore point. Me and my wife planned to make that weekend a getaway. Paris or… where ever the event would be. I indeed planned to turn up with a load of pins. But alas, I’m going to McMurdo, Antarctica virtually. And even though virtual is safer it is also harder to get that swag to people.
So no, that plan has been sunk by current events.
This wonderful artist also made me an amazing piece of artwork! I hope you all get a chance to look at this kind Agents artwork and get a chance to get it from one of the IFS events!!! If you have the time you should go look at the other pieces this artist has done. Thank you so much agent for the time you took on not just this piece but others! Thank you also for participating in our interview~
Please be mindful not to use this artwork(s) used in this post without permission. Thank you and we hope you participate in future IFS art competitions!

Lewis Brice Celebrates Family In New 'Blessed' Video: Premire
Lewis Brice reflects on family life in his stirring new single "Blessed."
From Billboard: As Lewis Brice reflects on family life in his stirring new single “Blessed,” it’s only fitting that the Nashville transplant returned home to South Carolina to shoot the music video.
The three-minute clip, which premieres below, was filmed in the same location where Brice starred in the video for older brother Lee’s “I Drive Your Truck,” the Academy of Country Music Awards’ 2014 song of the year. The video for “Blessed” features the younger brother sifting through family photo albums and later belting the song’s poignant lyrics in an open field.
“‘Blessed’ is a family song to me,” says Brice, who penned the piano ballad with Nick Norman and Ben Simonetti. “It was inspired by when I was away from home for the first time during Thanksgiving. It was actually a picture of my brother and his family that set off that feeling for me. Being able to capture the moment of singing a song about our family together made total sense to me, and I think it really rounds it out.”
“Blessed” is the first taste of new music since Brice released his debut self-titled EP in 2017. On the strength of such EP tracks as the bluesy “Messin’ With My Mind,” Billboard named Brice a Country Artist to Watch in 2018.
“Blessed” details the singer’s upbringing with parents and Lee, who co-produced Lewis’ 2017 EP.
“Daddy woke up at 5 a.m./ First man on the job/ Momma got me and Lee to school on time/ And she was waiting there at 3 o’clock/ Taught us both how to see right from wrong and how to talk to God/ We didn’t have much but what we had was more than enough,” he sings on the track’s first verse.
“Blessed” offers a taste of what’s to come on Brice’s forthcoming project. The Brice brothers debuted the song via an acoustic video performance the day after Thanksgiving last year.

Due to the current skill shortages faced by both Australia and New Zealand and the prospect of an ageing workforce, it is now imperative for organisations to embrace work/life balance practices to attract and retain talent, not only from traditional sources but also from untapped and diverse social groups (Cohen et al, 2002).
This paper attempts to define what work/life balance is and identifies the benefits it can bring from both employer and employee perspectives.
It also examines the complications in achieving the balance between work and personal goals and discusses the current trends and solutions organisations have in place for their employees to assist in achieving the balance between work and their life.
And importantly, organisations can expose themselves to increasing numbers of dissatisfied and unproductive employees by not providing real opportunity for employee work/life balance.
So it is important to realise that creating a work/life policy structure is not enough; development of an organisational culture that supports the use of available policies is also of great importance (Bratton, 2003).
