I must confess, last week's angel saga made me feel like Supernatural was running out of gas after twelve years on the road, but "Regarding Dean" was a timely reminder of why I have stuck with the Winchesters for over a decade. It's not easy to create a feeling of real jeopardy for characters who have died (hundreds of times over in Dean's case) and been brought back, but watching Sam's race against the clock to save his hexed brother was genuinely moving and tense.
Having been targeted by a family of witches, Dean got himself hit with a curse which meant his memories were erased, and Sam had to call on best frenemy, Rowena, to help fix his brother before he literally forgot how to breathe. In added twist, Rowena knew the coven in question, having stayed with them a century before when she first came to the US. With Dean out of commission, it was down to Rowena to rush to Sam's aid when he got himself kidnapped trying to retrieve the grimoire needed to reverse the spell, and almost became a soul donor for Gideon, the witch Dean killed at the start of the episode.
While this was a fairly straightforward monster of the week episode, it definitely had the makings of a classic. It was refreshing to explore the kinds of issues which can affect the boys in the course of doing their job, the danger inherent in just being who they are, and to examine these familiar characters in a new light. New writer, Meredith Glynn (who also wrote madcap Hitler episode "The One You've Been Waiting For") handled the boys with confidence and demonstrated an excellent understanding of them and their relationship. There were actual laugh out loud moments, and I shed a tear or two watching Dean confront his reflection in a mirror as his knowledge of Sam, Mary, Cas, and even his own name slipped away. It's tricky hitting balance between humour and melodrama, and this episode did it perfectly.
"Regarding Dean" also made wonderful use of Rowena, and was a game-changer for her character. While Sam correctly called her out on wanting to get her hands on the Black Grimoire, she seemed genuinely invested in helping the Winchesters, opening up to Dean when she was sure he wouldn't remember their heart to heart, and surrendering the book to Sam without a struggle. She even put herself at risk rescuing Sam, and tried to keep Dean safe at the same time. We've seen her softer side before, and she once confessed her apparent contempt for Crowley is a front, but her experience with Chuck and Amara seems to have affected her deeply.
Reminiscent of Season 3's "Mystery Spot" in tone and quality, "Regarding Dean" was easily one of the best episodes of recent years. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it had Dean Winchester riding a mechanical bull called Larry. It was clever, nuanced, and reinforced the incredible bond these characters have, which has been the driving force of Supernatural since the pilot. Ultimately, Dean and Sam can't be truly happy without one another, and while they carry a tremendous burden, they wouldn't be rid of it because saving the world and doing it together defines them. And that's a beautiful thing.
Final Grade: A
+ The parallels between the witch siblings trying to bring back their dead brother and the Winchesters was a really nice touch, and Dean being erased while Sam was about to have his soul taken away again echoed Season 6. The memory loss also recalled Lisa's mind-wiping by Cas to forget Dean. While they may act for the greater good, as Rowena told Dean, the Winchesters are still capable of doing terrible things to stay together, and this episode addressed that in a really smart way. The image of the pinned butterflies flapping was a chilling illustration of the way the boys mess with the natural order of things. Also, the idea of losing your identity is actually horrifying, as is the concept of losing control of your body via demon possession or being resurrected after death, and I love it when the show remembers that!
+ All three of the central actors did a phenomenal job here. Sam's broken little expression when he thought Rowena had failed to fix Dean wounded me! Ruth Connell was a total joy, and Jensen Ackles demonstrated once again that he can do outstanding physical comedy and then break your heart in the blink of an eye. I mean, can we talk about the gift that is that footage of him riding the mechanical bull?
+ I loved the nod to Memento and Sam leaving Post-its everywhere for Dean. The 'NO!' on the grenade launcher was a stroke of genius. I also laughed hard at the bartender thinking she'd taken advantage of Dean, hopeful Dean believing he was about to watch Sam and Rowena get it on (deviant Dean is my favourite), Dean being shit at reading lips, and the guy with the dog in the beginning.
+ I cannot overstate how much I adore the fact that Dean Winchester, stripped of all memories, still knows in his marrow that Sam is his brother and trusts him. He didn't even hesitate to shoot the witch on Sam's word alone.
– I don't really have any minuses this week. I guess it was slightly convenient that Rowena knew the Loughlin family, but when the going is this good, who cares?
Extra Thoughts: Interesting that Rowena said she was chased out of Scotland by the British MOL. Perhaps she is going to become an ally once more as their sinister intentions are revealed?
So did you want to draw a heart around this episode, snuggle it to your bosom, and feed it cake as much as me? If not, what's wrong with you? Who took your soul? Let us know in the comments or over on Twitter.

Astros insider: How Justin Verlander dominated the White Sox
Notes, comments and observations from a remarkable Tuesday night watching Justin Verlander at work in the Astros' 5-1 win over the White Sox at Minute Maid Park.
Hurry up and wait
Verlander had to cool his heels for about 40 minutes during the Astros' four-run rally in the fifth inning but said he was unaffected by the down time as he worked toward a no-hitter that was not to be.
"Those innings aren't easy," he said. "You like the runs. That's always nice, but sometimes when the line keeps rolling and rolling and rolling, it's, 'All right guys, that's enough. I want to get back out there.'
"Over time with age, I've learned how to keep my body loose, and I make some throws. If it lasts too long, I will make the throws with a medicine ball that is the same weight as a baseball to keep the joint loose."
Verlander said he was off kilter for his first two pitches in the sixth, "but then I locked it back in." He retired the side in order in the sixth and got the leadoff hitter in the seventh before Jose Abreu ended the no-hit bid with a homer in the seventh.
Hope springs eternal
Verlander knew that the pitch to Abreu was likely going out when it left the bat, but the presence of Jake Marisnick in center field enabled him, briefly, to keep his no-hitter hopes alive.
"If there's one guy on the planet who could make that play in center, it was Jake," Verlander said. "That was my thought. I thought 'If Jake catches this, it's over. I'm gonna get it.' Sure enough, it went over, but he had a great effort on it."
Verlander was money with his slider, getting 14 of his 28 swings and misses on that pitch. He mixed in 16 curveballs with fastball and sliders but said he was reluctant to throw the curve with the no-hitter at stake because he didn't want to run the risk of the pitch backing into the strike zone.
To his mild chagrin, he threw just one changeup, a pitch he has been trying to work into his repertoire with, he said, the encouragement of Nolan Ryan, who used it to great effect in the latter part of his career.
"I keep trying to throw the changeup more and more, but there are less and less and less opportunities to do so when the other pitches are working the way they are," he said. "I want to use it, but it doesn't seem like the opportunity has presented itself."
Still, Verlander said, he has no complaints about how things are going. He's 4-0 for the month of May and has allowed four hits with 29 strikeouts in his last 22 innings.
"Right now I'm in the middle of one of those good stretches," he said. "When you're in a good stretch, you don't take it for granted. You keep grinding and have that same feel, same repetition and keep doing the same things."
Injury notes
The Astros' cautious approach toward righthander Collin McHugh, who was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to May 18, reflects what manager A.J. Hinch acknowledges is the difficult nature of transitioning from starter to reliever.
"Arms are tricky, and certainly with somebody transitioning from the rotation to the bullpen, we're super cautious about it," Hinch said. "He's not going to be shut down completely He's still going to be pretty active. We hope it's a short-term thing."
Aledmys Diaz, who returned to the lineup Tuesday after rehabbing a discomfited left hamstring, said his job of moving from position to position is made easier by Hinch's reliance on full disclosure.
"He does a great job of resting everybody and letting me know when I'm going to play for two or three days," he said. "He tells us when you're going to play and where you're going to play."
Given Diaz's movement between every infield position plus left field, that's a good thing to know, he said.
"It's a different mindset for every position," Diaz said.
Welcome return
Brady Rodgers said his parents, Paul and Judy Rodgers of Rosenberg, and other family members will be on hand Wednesday at Minute Maid Park as he settles into his new role as an Astros reliever.
Rodgers, who was called up from Round Rock to take the roster spot vacated by Collin McHugh's move to the 10-day disabled list, said his father teared up when he called Tuesday to tell him he was joining the Astros roster.
Since returning last year after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2017, "everything was working. The changeup was there, the slider was there, fastball command was there," he said. "I feel great, which is all I can ask for. The confidence is sky high."

How to Create a WordPress Child Theme Tutorial
WordPress Theme Customization comes loaded with a plethora of possibilities. Having tried a large number of techniques for styling my WordPress website's theme, I've been totally impressed with the way things go. Child theme is one such stunning way of tweaking an existing WordPress theme for a fresh look and feel.
- 1 How to Create a WordPress Child Theme Tutorial
- 1.1 What exactly is a WordPress Child Theme?
- 1.2 More To Explore
In today's post, I'll be sharing some vital basics of WordPress Child Themes. I'm sure the pointers covered here would alter your thinking about WordPress theme development. So, let's move on to knowing everything about these child themes.
What exactly is a WordPress Child Theme?
WordPress child theme is basically a theme which inherits the styling and functionality of a different theme, called the parent theme. If you intend to preserve your theme modifications, then working with a child theme is what you can do without getting confused. Plus, using a child theme is also an excellent means of speeding up the overall WordPress theme development time.
Understanding the file structure for a WordPress child theme
Child themes are located in /wp-content/themes/ just like any other WordPress theme. Plus, they can be activated via the WordPress admin panel, as done in case of a traditional WordPress theme. Every child theme has a style.css file and a functions.php file, excluding a theme file. Additionally, it also includes image folders, include folders and script folders.
Creating and activating WordPress Child Theme
As the very first step, you need to create a child theme directory which will then be placed in wp-content/themes. It is not necessary to append the name of your child theme directory with -child. Next, you need to create the child theme's stylesheet, called style.css. This stylesheet must begin with the following:
Theme Name: Twenty Fifteen Child
Theme URI: http://example.com/twenty-fifteen-child/
Description: Twenty Fifteen Child Theme
Author: Takashi Irie
Author URI: http://example.com
Template: twentyfifteen
Version: 1.0(svn)
Text Domain: twenty-fifteen-child
In the above text, you'll be expected to replace the word 'example' with details that are relevant to your WordPress theme. Also, the template line represents the directory name of the parent theme. In this post, I've kept the parent theme as Twenty Fifteen, so the template name is twentyfifteen.
Finally, you need to enqueue the parent and child theme stylesheets using wp_enqueue_script() in your child theme's functions.php file. The function associated with this step is shown below:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
The above code function works only if the parent theme uses a single main style.css to hold all the css. However, if your parent theme has multiple .css files(for eg: style.css, ie.css, main.css etc.), then you need to maintain all parent theme dependencies.
With that your child theme is ready for activation. Simply login to your site's admin area and go to Administration Panel-> Appearance-> Themes where you can see the child theme listed. Now, simply activate the child theme.
The method for importing parent theme styles
You just need to add the below mentioned single line of code to your ChildTheme style.css in order to import the parent theme styles:
Theme Name: Fission
Description: A Child Theme of Fusion
Template: fusion
@import url(../fusion/style.css);
With the use of above code, you've simply created a safe area for making changes to your parent theme, without the need for touching any of the original theme files.
Internationalization of WordPress Child Themes
Much like the wide variety of extensions available for WordPress websites/blogs, even the WordPress child themes can be easily translated into different languages using the gettext functions. Just follow the below steps for doing the same:
Step 1– Add a new languages directory with a format as: my-theme/languages/
Step 2– Add language files to this languages directory. Each language filename must have the format like: he_IL.mo and he_IL.po.
Step 3– Load the textdomain
You can define the text domain in load_child_theme_textdomain() in the child theme's functions.php file during the after_setup_theme action. This text domain will be used for translating all the strings available within the child theme. Plus, you can use GetText functions for adding i18n support for these strings.
Here's the code snippet associated with textdomain:
The gettext function is shown below:
Therefore, all strings which use "my-child-heme" textdomain can be translated into different languages. These translated files will be stored in "/languages/" directory.
That's it!
Summing Up
Hopefully, I've succeeded in offering you a basic understanding of a WordPress child theme. Perhaps one of the smartest ways of modifying WordPress themes, these child themes make WP theme customization an absolutely stunning experience.

Feb. 13
Photo: Steve Czerniak
Thank the Portuguese workers back in plantation days for turning Fat or Shrove Tuesday into Malassada Day back in the 1800s. The tradition traces to eating up the last of the sweet, rich, fatty foods before the ritual limits of Lent, which begins on the following day of Ash Wednesday. We're still mourning the recent closing of Agnes' Portuguese Bake Shop in Kailua for the stellar malassada like vovo (grandma) used to make. But there are choices:
Brave the busiest day of the year at Leonard's Bakery (933 Kapahulu Ave.) and pick up a pink box from this iconic eatery from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Try Pipeline Bakeshop & Creamery, 3632 Wai'alae Ave., for its new flavored-sugar twist, or head to Champion Bakery, 1926 S. Beretania St., for more classic doughy treats.

I have lived for art, I have lived for love.
Tyranny and treachery intwine in Giacomo Puccini's menacing tragedy staged by the North Carolina Opera for the first time since their inaugural season. A signature piece of the repertoire, Puccini infuses a twisting story of love, sacrifice and revenge with soaring music that fills the auditorium and overpowers the senses.
Alexandra LoBianca steps up to star as the diva Tosca, alongside Scott Quinn as her beleaguered lover Cavaradossi and Malcolm MacKenzie as Baron Scarpia, the man who pursues them both.
What is the story of Tosca?
Under the cloud of rebellion on all sides, Rome is in the middle of a tumultuous change as the Royalist regime is winning over the Republic. Whilst the merciless Baron Scarpia is rounding up rebels and jailing them, Tosca rehearses in a church before meeting her lover Cavaradossi and his fugitive friend Angelotti. When the embittered Baron catches up with him he falls for Tosca, much to her anger, and tortures her lover in front of him. If she yields to him, she is promised his life under the guise of a false execution. But Scarpia's meanness knows no bounds and before the day is out, all life will be extinguished.
Opening night: 5 April 2019

GEORGE TOWN, Aug 20 – The opposition is seen as increasingly desperate by organising roadshows across the country, especially in village areas, to slander the government so as to stoke public hatred towards the Barisan Nasional (BN) government. Umno Supreme Council member, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin said that the action was inappropriate as some of them were at one time Umno strongmen and part of the government but they seldom went to the ground to meet the people.
"However, now they are often touring the country on the pretext of getting close to the people but actually spreading untrue stories and slandering the party (Umno) and the government," he said after opening the Jelutong Umno division delegates' conference in Batu Feringghi, near here, today.
Hamzah said Umno's seriousness in shouldering its responsibilities for all the people regardless of their political background had made the opposition leaders feel threatened. Hamzah, who is also Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister, said the opposition's tactic, however, could not shake the loyalty of Umno members for the party as they knew what was true or otherwise.
"They (opposition) are wrong as attempts to split the (Umno) members will not succeed … this sacred Malay party is solid strong and united to ensure the Malay community's survival. Moreover, the people are aware that such leaders cannot be trusted as previously they were with Umno but because they did not want to follow the leaders, they formed new parties and they like to make U-turns to fulfil their own objectives, and not championing the people's lot like Umno does," he said.
Hamzah also called on the young in Penang to use information and communications technology skills to expose the DAP-led state government's leadership not keeping its promises, as well as its various forms of oppression and abuses against the people. He cited the case of the illegal factory in Sungai Lembu, Bukit Mertajam where the state government was always trying to twist facts to the point of blaming the federal government for the problem. — Bernama

For arrangement of the church surroundings the Designers anticipated placement of stone cubes in order to decompound the space. On the cubes they shaped important persons, events or cultural facts from Gacka and Otočac region. Chakavian Parliament of Gacka region suggested giving sculptor content to those stone blocks by making each block one of the glagolitic letters. Following that thought, 30 sculptures were created, which tells a story in stone, from the beginning of the 9th century, ending with the 21st century.
A well know sculptor from Pula, Šime Vidulin, who was given complete freedom when choosing the artists, set a goal to make the colonies international, and to bring new (other) artists every year.
The sculpting colony took place at the end of July 2010 when first eight blocks were done. Respecting the set goal, Vidulin brought academic sculptors from abroad: Janez Pirnat from Ljubljana, Gabriele Gotolli from Verona and Toni Marić from Mostar. Apart from him, the domestic forces were represented by academic sculptors Mate Čvrljak from Labin and Sandra Nejašmić from Postira on the island of Brač, as well as his sculptors of confidence, Janko Mošnja from Pula and Marčelo Starčić from Kanfanar. Đildo Bonaca from Pula helped with the engraving of texts. Eight glagolitic letters (a, b, v, g, d, e, ž) and the following characters were engraved in the first eight motives:
- The Duke Borna (-821) – the Duke of Gacka people
- The Baška Tablet (1100) – the oldest monument written in Croatian and the first mention of Otočac
- Konstantin Porfirogenet (ruled between 945 and 959) - the first one to write down the names of Gacka, Lika and Krbava

The sculpting colony "Gacka 2011" was held in August 2011. Nine domestic and foreign artists participated in this colony. Eight new motives were made and eight glagolitic letters (b, z, ї, i, j, k, l, m) written. Apart from 5 domestic authors, this colony boasts the participance of Korbinian Karl Huber from Germany, George Dan Istrate from Romania, Carlos Roberto and Monge Sanchez from Mexico, as well as Gabriele Gottoli from Italy, artist already well know in Otočac. Apart from Vidulina, the following domestic sculptors showed their skills: Ivan Briski from Zagreb, Janko Mošnja and Đildo Bonaca from Pula, and Marčelo Starčić from Kanfanar.
The colony covers the time period between 15th and early 19th century. Its place was there found by:
- templar Bernardus (1245) - preceptor of that order in Gacka
- "Dabarski brevijar" (1486) – glagolitic manuscript books from Dabar
- "Kolunićev zbornik" (1486) – glagolitic manuscript books from Otočac

- Alfons Dalma (1919 – 1999) - birth name Stjepan Tomičić, a journalist
- Karlo Mirth (1917 – 2013) – a writer and a publicist
This colony was also of international character; four artists were from abroad: Carlos Roberto Monge from Mexico, Saša Stanišić from Montenegro, Amancio Gonzales Andres from Spain and Gabriele Gottoli from Italy. The domestic sculptors who participated were: Ljubo de Karina from Brseč in Istria, Janko Mošnja from Pula, Marčelo Starčić from Kanfanar in Istria and Jasna Šimunović from Zagreb.
Just as all colonies within the Gacka Park of Croatian Memory, "Gacka 2013" was also of international character. Chakavian Parliament of Gacka invited and hosted Vincent di Vicenza from Canada, Nikolay Borisovich Burtasenkov from Russia, Carlos Monge Gonzales from Mexico and Gabriele Gottolli from Italy. The domestic sculptors who participated were: Ivan Briski from Zagreb, Janko Mošnja from Pula and Marčelo Starčić from Kanfanar (Istria), as well as Šime Vidulin.

Search Results for: "programming"
Do you think ruby has future?
Looking at current scenerios, functional language in rise, do you think ruby stand chance despite its popularity going down?
Ruby is going to stay for at least a decade more
I do agree functional languages are on rise, and are also getting easier to use, but I still believe Ruby as a future for a decade more at least. A few reasons to support my answer:
1) Rails: Rails is arguably more active web-development framework with founder DHH still contributing.
2) Ruby with JIT: Ruby 3.0's goal created by Matt is to make it 3x faster at least. And they just released Ruby 2.6 with JIT to start with (though it's still not faster for bulk applications like Rails).
3) Community: Such a large community for millions of active developers now. They are not going to ditch it near soon.
4) First choice for MVP: Startups make significant percentage of today's IT market. Everyone wants to have their first prototype asap. Ruby on Rails is still the one for them.
5) Easiest to Learn: It is called dumb-programmer's language by programmers of C++ and Java. One may take it as offence, but that's actually a big plus point because as per them even a dumb person can learn Ruby.
What programming language should you learn first?
Whether you're looking to begin coding as a hobby, a new career, or just to enhance your current role, the first thing you'll have to do is decide which programming language you want to start with.
There is no right answer, of course. Choosing a first language will depend on what kind of projects you want to work on, who you want to work for, or how easy you want it to be.
Java - Worked for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I first got in touch with programming via Java. Our teacher said that an object oriented language is easier to understand, cause that's how we are thinking: in objects.
And I agree. I got the whole class, inheritance and method basics quite fast and it makes sense.
The "hard" thing is, that you need the environment, a compiler, etc. before you can start programming sth. unlike in javascript. And you need to learn the syntax and rules and stick to it. But in my opinion thats good for beginners, so they are guided a little instead of being left on their own with all possibilities.
Javascript - Start to play with in 2sec
I actually thing javascript could be a good option as it offers few advantage :
- The biggest community
- You can build everything with it as it runs everywhere : website, backend, mobile applications and even desktop apps
- and it's fun to start playing with like fast visual result, you can start to play with it in any web page by just opening the web inspector
Comments (3)
Ruby - As easy as English
I will put some bullet points about ruby on some parameters:
1) Time: If you have basic knowledge of computers, you can learn Basic Ruby in 3 days and Advanced Ruby in 4 more days.
2) Easiness: It's as simple as writing English in many cases. You need not learn all datatypes things at all. Simple OOPs and only multiple inheritance, no multiple inheritance.
3) Community: 300420 Gems of Ruby already there. It's been one of most active community for last decade and is not going to stop in near future.
4) Jobs: Today's IT jobs are governed by mostly startup culture (even in established companies). Everyone wants to give real shape to their ideas and Ruby On Rails web framework of Ruby is the best choice for them. It can do the job (arguably) at least twice fast than other languages.
5) Salary: Quite decent package being offered to beginners even. Around $30k-35k and you can rise to $50k-60k within 2-3 years.
6) Geography: It's in demand everywhere, US, Europe, India, Brazil everywhere. US and Europe companies are even offering visa/relocation assistance.
This list is never-ending. Give it a try and tell me. Simple start link below:

A week in security (Oct 23 – Oct 29)
A compilation of notable security news and blog posts from the 23rd of October to the 29th. This week, we talked about Trick bot, attribution, a WhatsApp scam, and debunked certain hacker stereotypes.
Attribution, and when you should care: Part 1
Attribution is the practice of taking forensic artifacts of a cyber attack and matching them to known threats against targets with a profile matching your organization. If this seems overly complicated, that is intentional. There are degrees of attribution that map to very specific contexts and painting over that context with a simplistic reading accomplishes very little other than frightening decision makers into unnecessary expenditures.

Amnesty International: The Land of the Free
Our latest work for Amnesty International highlights the plight of oppressed parents and children, and raises the question of whether America can still claim to be the land of the free. Our emotional reaction to what's unfolding demanded an immediate reaction, which is why we created this radio ad for Amnesty International in the space of 12 hours.
We hope it gets the attention it demands and increases support for the amazing work that Amnesty does.

I did this side-by-side comparison with Hannah when she was 15 months old, so I thought it would be fun to do it with Colson as well.
When Hannah was born it was split with each side of the family--my side though she looked like me and Nick's side thought she looked more like him. As she got older, we thought she started looking more like me. In this comparison, I think she definitely looks like me.
When Colson was born, again, my side said he looked like me. I thought he did too--even more-so than Hannah did. But as the months passed, he quickly started to look more like his daddy! And at 15 months old, I think he definitely looks like Nick did when he was younger--so much so that it kind of freaks me out!
What do you think?

Home / Insights / Lifestyle / Wildlife photographer of the year award turns 50
24 March 2015
Lots of things are turning 50 this year, for example: Saturday Night Live, the American comedy program; the bag-in-a-box or cask wine, which was a South Australian invention, and The Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards on at the Australian Museum in Sydney from March 28, 2015.
The museum will also celebrate in June this year the creation of its New Gallery, Wild Planet, which will add approximately 630m2 of exhibition space. It's the first time in more than 50 years that permanent exhibition space has been added to the Australian Museum. Wild Planet will focus on biodiversity and feature more than 400 animal specimens from across the globe as well as look at what climate change will mean among other environmental concerns. Recently, the museum took delivery of its zebra – 'an animal bigger than you think' – but it's the housing of their giraffe that still fills staff with awe. Wild Planet will also highlight Australia's unique mammal fauna and creatively use technology to showcase the scientific work of the Australian Museum Research Institute.
Back to the wildlife photography of the museum's exhibition opening in March and running until October. Photographer Sitara Karthikeyan, who was photographing waterbirds by a coconut grove in southern India, says she spied three spotted owlets perched on a dead tree, preening one another. When a few common Mynas started to mob them, the owlets let out a shrill call, whereupon two adults joined them and all five stood their ground.
"I was moved by their togetherness when in danger," says Sitara, "and I wanted to capture the feeling."
To get an eye-level shot, Sitara explains she was forced to abandon her tripod and handhold the camera – "challenging," she says, "as the lens was so heavy". Selecting a wide aperture to blur the background, she focused on the owls. Then, at the first click of the shutter, they all looked her way.

Supplementary MaterialsAdditional document 1. matters for ATAC-seq data. Desk S5. Datasets useful for ATAC-seq evaluation. Desk S6. Datasets useful for RNA-seq evaluation. Meropenem enzyme inhibitor Desk S7. H3K27me3 primers. 13072_2019_260_MOESM2_ESM.xlsx (26K) GUID:?70887156-12CD-4508-B9B9-2B9A50DA6DED Data Availability StatementData encouraging the conclusion of the article can be purchased in the GEO repository, beneath the data accession GSE120599. Publicly obtainable RNA-seq and ATAC-seq datasets found in this evaluation could be reached from GEO [24, 59C67], comprehensive in Additional document 2: Desks S5, S6. Abstract History The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (ATAC-seq) is normally a powerful solution to examine chromatin ease of access. Even though many research have got reported an optimistic relationship between gene promoter and appearance ease of access, few have looked into the genes that deviate out of this trend. In this scholarly study, we directed to understand the partnership between gene appearance and promoter ease of access CD14 in multiple cell types while also determining gene regulatory systems in the placenta, an understudied body Meropenem enzyme inhibitor organ that is crucial for a successful being pregnant. Results We began by assaying the open up chromatin landscaping in the mid-gestation placenta, when the fetal vasculature provides began developing. After incorporating transcriptomic data produced in the placenta at the same time stage, we grouped genes predicated on Meropenem enzyme inhibitor their appearance amounts and ATAC-seq promoter insurance. We discovered that the genes using the most powerful relationship (high appearance and high insurance) tend involved with housekeeping functions, whereas tissue-specific genes were expressed and had just mediumClow insurance highly. We also forecasted that genes with mediumClow appearance and high promoter insurance were positively repressed. Within this combined group, we extracted a proteinCprotein connections network enriched for neuronal features, likely avoiding the cells from implementing a neuronal destiny. We further verified a repressive histone tag will the promoters of genes within this network. Finally, we ran our pipeline using RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data generated in 10 additional cell types. We again discovered that genes using the most powerful relationship are enriched for housekeeping features which genes with mediumClow promoter insurance and high appearance will be tissue-specific. These total outcomes demonstrate that just two data types, both which need fairly low beginning materials to are and generate getting additionally obtainable, could be integrated to comprehend multiple areas of gene legislation. Conclusions Inside the placenta, we discovered a dynamic placenta-specific gene network and a Meropenem enzyme inhibitor repressed neuronal network. Beyond the placenta, we demonstrate that ATAC-seq data and RNA-seq data could be integrated to recognize tissue-specific genes and positively repressed gene systems in multiple cell types. Electronic supplementary materials The online edition of this content (10.1186/s13072-019-0260-2) contains supplementary materials, which is open to authorized users. worth? ?2.2e?16] (Fig.?2a). Chances are a higher relationship is typically not really observed because available regions aren't always connected with gene activity. They are able to also be connected with gene repression or genes that are poised to be active [23C25]. Even though some areas of this relationship have been looked into, nearly all research never have explored the partnership between ATAC-seq and RNA-seq data completely, especially regarding genes which have low ease of access and a higher level of appearance. Therefore, to understand the partnership between ATAC-seq and RNA-seq additional, we divided genes into groupings predicated on their degree of appearance and promoter ease of access (see Strategies). We discovered that nearly all genes (8237) acquired mediumClow ease of access and mediumClow appearance (MACME), and the next largest group (3527 genes) acquired high ease of access and high appearance (HACHE) (Fig.?2b). To look for the natural features connected with these mixed groupings, we completed an operating enrichment evaluation using the Genomic Locations Enrichment of Annotation Device (GREAT) [26]. Needlessly to say, we found apparent distinctions between your Meropenem enzyme inhibitor natural processes enriched in each mixed group. For instance, MACME genes are highly enriched for conditions linked to sensory conception (Fig.?2c), whereas HACHE genes are enriched for general cell efficiency terms such as for example cell routine and RNA handling (Fig.?2d). These results are in contract with previous research. One such research, completed in individual T-helper cells, discovered that genes with available promoters and high appearance had been enriched for housekeeping features, whereas people that have inaccessible promoters had been enriched for.

Practical experience of the National Societies, supported by research, provides strong evidence that relief should take into account the long-term implications of emergency assistance on rehabilitation, recovery and development. On the other hand, development planning must identify disaster risks. If these mutually complementary approaches are not used, then opportunities to reduce or mitigate the impact of disasters on communities and to strengthen National Societies' disaster preparedness capacities are lost. Aid programming which restores the pre-disaster status quo may inadvertently perpetuate vulnerability. There is a clear need to look for ways to integrate relief, rehabilitation and development.
The International Federation is an important actor in the response to and rehabilitation after natural disasters. The Federation is also frequently involved in rehabilitation or recovery following armed conflict. Each type of disaster whether droughts, floods, earthquakes, civil disturbances, industrial accidents or other offers different opportunities to link and integrate response, rehabilitation and development. Interaction of relief, rehabilitation and development requires an analysis of the broader political, social and economic context. In structural crises for instance, the response to immediate needs has to appreciate the risk of creating social or economic distortions. In a protracted disaster there may be a need to rehabilitate the livelihoods of households and communities also during the ongoing emergency. Root causes need to be identified and exposed. The most important element to ensure that both short-term and longer-term needs are addressed is to support the capacity of the National Society to work with vulnerable communities.

Dominik Windisch Surprises, Come-from-Behind Mass Start Victory
Italy's Dominik Windisch, 13th after the first standing stage, cleaned the last standing stage while the leaders missed; then skied his way through ever-deepening snow to the IBU World Championships Mass Start Gold Medal. Windisch with three penalties, finished in 40:54.1 in
the 2019 IBU WCH finale competition for Italy's second mass start Gold of the day, following Dorothea Wierer's win a few hours earlier. The Silver medal went to France's Antonin Guigonnat, with three penalties, 22.8 seconds back. Austria's Julian Eberhard with four penalties won the Silver medal, 23.3 seconds back.
Lucky in the Wind
Windisch was overwhelmed by his surprising win. "It is incredible I am so happy; I cannot believe it… It was not easy, but what my name says, Windisch…I am always lucky with the wind; it is not that I shoot much better but the others make more mistakes…This time I was the lucky one…I did not know I was in the lead; in the uphill the coach said I was leading. I said, 'What?' I was shocked…when they told me I was keeping the distance, I was really happy and motivated to keep it to the end."
Mass Start Twin Wins
Windisch and Wierer won their first-ever mass starts on the same day in Canmore three years ago. Today was the same, so she might be his lucky charm. "Yesterday I told Dorothea that I believed in her and she could do it. When she won today, I was so happy for her…I think she brings me luck since it was the same situation 3 years ago in Canmore."
Russia's Alexander Loginov, with five penalties, finished fourth, 27.4 seconds back. Guigonnat's teammate Quentin Fillon Maillet, with four penalties, finished fifth, 33.2 seconds back. 20K individual Gold medalist Arnd Peiffer of Germany, with fourth penalties, finished sixth, 39.6 seconds back.
More Wind and Snow; Yellow Bib Leads
The wind and snow that the women had earlier; remained for this final men's competition at the 2019 IBU World Championships, making the tracks slow and shooting challenging. The Yellow Bib led the first loop, cleaned quickly, leaving a half second behind Benedikt Doll, with Loginov just behind, with 15 more clean shooters following.
The German led the tightly packed group around part of the next 3K loop, until Johannes took back the lead, setting the pace.
And then There Were Ten…
With the wind and snow blowing in their faces, the clean-shooting club dwindled to ten in the second prone, with Johannes still on top, but Desthieux and Peiffer on his shoulder and brother Tarjei six seconds back. Halfway through the next loop, Desthieux took over the pacing duties in the ever-deepening snow.
Penalties; Garanichev Leads
Desthieux's fast pace cut the lead group to five as they came to the first standing stage. That proved fatal as all in the group went to the penalty loop: Desthieux with four and Johannes with two. Garanichev and Christiansen took advantage with 5-for-5, going out 1-2. Eder also remained clean in fourth, behind Pidruchnyi with one penalty, but 26 seconds back. Johannes, 30 seconds back after the penalty loops moved quickly back into second as they headed to the last standing stage, but less than 10 seconds behind the Russian.
Would you believe it? It's double glory for @Fisiofficial: Dominik Windisch crowns himself Mass Start World Champion 2 hours after Dorothea Wierer did the same on the women's side! #2019Ostersund 🇮🇹— IBU World Cup (@IBU_WC) March 17, 2019
Incredible! https://t.co/bk5aBBso9Q pic.twitter.com/Lzes4uYDbI
Windisch Cleans, Moves into the Lead
By the time they arrived at the last standing, the Yellow Bib had caught the Russian. Then with the wind howling, the almost unbelievable happened. Johannes missed five times and Garanichev four. Virtually everyone had a penalty or more other than Windisch. The Italian coming from 13th position closed all five targets to go out with a 13 second lead over Eder and Guigonnat who both missed once.
First World Championship for Windisch
Sinking into the snow with each stride, Windisch widened the gap all the way to the finish to claim another IBU World Championship Mass Start Gold medal for Italy and the first of his career. Meanwhile Eberhard and Guigonnat moved past the others battling for the last medals. The Austrian held the advantage until the last downhill, when Guigonnat easily passed him Pulling away for the Silver medal.
Long Journey Turns Silver
Guigonnat though he was out of the medals after the first prone but persevered. "I was 26th after the prone and today looked like a long journey to the finish,. But then I cleaned two stages in the quite difficult wind…Julian is really fast on skis…today I had good glide and he was a little tired entering the finish line so it was enough for me to keep the Silver."
Happy with Third
I was really focused in the first three laps and managed to go with the leading group. The first standing was difficult with a lot of mistakes with the wind. In the fourth loop, I knew it could be the same; I came back in 12th and managed to shoot fast. I was really surprised when I passed Simon Eder, my teammate and he said, 'go for gold.' I tried but in the end, I am happy with third place."

Get Your Smile Back
If your teeth have some issues like cracks, chips or broken or missing teeth, you could benefit from restorative dentistry. This branch of dentistry does just what its name implies: restores your smile. If you think you could benefit from restorative dentistry, you can find out more with Dr. Gary Machiko in Pittsburgh, PA.
Common Problems Solved By Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry procedures often fall under other dental classifications in addition to restorative. Some common issues solved by restorative dentistry include:
- broken teeth
- chipped teeth
- worn teeth
- cracked teeth
- missing teeth
- decayed teeth
Restorative Dentistry Procedures
Depending on the cause of your tooth issue, your procedure will vary. Your dentist may recommend a dental crown to restore the worn biting surface of a tooth or stabilize a tooth with a large filling, such as after a root canal. Dental veneers or bonding can repair a chipped tooth. Choosing between the two usually boils down to the other restorations the patient has, how much money they would like to spend, and other procedures they desire. Dental implants can replace missing teeth. This option is the most effective and permanent option to fill in your gaps.
Restorative Dentistry in Pittsburgh, PA
Dentists will recommend restorative dentistry in many cases. However, before placing any restorations, the teeth should be free of any tooth decay or gum disease. In the case of these conditions, your dentist may need to perform procedures like a periodontal cleaning or dental filling.
Additionally, a strong at-home oral care routine will keep your dental restorations clean and healthy, preventing them from failure. Brush twice a day and floss at least once. Seeing your dentist twice a year for regular examinations and cleanings will keep your teeth and dental restorations alike free of decay-causing plaque and tartar and allow your dentist to catch problems with your smile early when they are most treatable.
For more information on restorative dentistry and what it can do for you, please contact Dr. Machiko in Pittsburgh, PA. Call (724) 719-2866 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Machiko today!

Here are seven spine and neurosurgeons making headlines this week.
Todd Lanman, MD, and Matthew Gornet, MD, examined the efficacy of Medtronic's Prestige LP device in 2-level cervical disc replacements and published findings in the Journal of Neurosurgery. The paper found that discs next to the point of fusion required surgery twice as often as discs adjacent to artificial discs.
Neurosurgeons Edward Scheid, MD, and Louis Noce, MD, joined Morristown, N.J.-based Altair Health. Dr. Scheid specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery and artificial disc replacement and Dr. Noce specializes in complex spine and minimally invasive treatments for spine conditions.
Samuel Joseph, MD, performed a robotic endoscopically assisted percutaneous outpatient spinal fusion at Memorial Hospital of Tampa, Fla. The combined endoscopic and robotic-guided approach enabled the patient to be discharged within one hour of the procedure.
Neurosurgeon Richard Wohns, MD, performed an M6-C artificial cervical disc replacement at the NeoSpine outpatient spine surgery center in Puyallup, Wash. The M6-C disc is designed for patients needing an artificial disc replacement as an alternative to spinal fusion. It features a shock-absorbing nucleus and fiber annulus that imitate the anatomic structure of a natural disc.
Wichita, Kan.-based Abay Neuroscience Center added neurosurgeon Ashley Barks, MD, to its practice. Dr. Barks specializes in neuro-oncology and degenerative, traumatic and minimally invasive spine surgery. She performs surgery at Kansas Spine & Specialty Hospital, Ascension Via Christi Hospital St. Francis and Wesley Medical Center, all located in Wichita, Kan.

The Kansas City Chiefs snapped the New England Patriots' 21-game home winning streak with a 23-16 win at Gillette Stadium. The Chiefs are the first team to beat Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in New England since the Carolina Panthers beat them 33-30 in October 2017. It was also revenge for the Chiefs after they lost to the Patriots in last season's AFC Championship game.
The Chiefs dominated Sunday's game but the Patriots hung close and Tom Brady had them on close to the end zone when his fourth-down pass to Julian Edelman was batted away by Bashaud Breeland with just over a minute remaining.
It was Chiefs coach Andy Reid's 100th career road win as well as the second straight loss for the Patriots, who fell to 10-3. Patriots fans can take heart, however. New England also lost back-to-back games last December, when they came up short in Miami and Pittsburgh in Weeks 14 and 15. They wouldn't lose again as they routed the Bills and Jets to finish 11-5, then beat the Chargers, Chiefs and Rams to claim their sixth Super Bowl.
In the day's other late kick-offs, the Titans beat the Raiders, the Steelers squeezed past the Cardinals and the Chargers overcame the Jaguars. In the Sunday Night Football match-up, the Los Angeles Rams overcame the Seattle Seahawks 28-12.
San Francisco 49ers 48-46 New Orleans Saints
Jimmy Garoppolo passed for 349 yards and four touchdowns, Robbie Gould kicked a 30-yard field goal as time expired, and the San Francisco 49ers pulled out a 48-46 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
Garoppolo's clutch completion to tight end George Kittle for a 39-yard gain plus a defensive facemask penalty on fourth-and-two from the San Francisco 33 helped set up Gould's winning kick. The Saints took their last lead on Drew Brees' fifth touchdown pass of the game an 18-yarder to Tre'Quan Smith with 53 seconds left. But Brees' pass on an attempted two-point conversion fell incomplete, leaving New Orleans' lead at one point. The victory kept San Francisco (11-2) in strong position to capture the top seed in the NFC playoffs.
Baltimore Ravens 24-17 Buffalo Bills
Lamar Jackson threw three touchdown passes and the Baltimore Ravens became the AFC's first team to clinch a playoff berth following a 24-17 win over the Buffalo Bills. Baltimore extended their franchise-best winning streak to nine straight and improved to 11-2, their best record through 13 games in team history.
Indianapolis Colts 35-38 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jameis Winston threw for 456 yards and four touchdowns, helping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rally to beat the reeling Indianapolis Colts.
Winston overcame throwing three more interceptions and having one returned for a TD for the fifth time season to wipe out a 14-point, second-half deficit. He led the Bucs (6-7) to their third straight win and fourth in five games. The Colts (6-7) have dropped five of six following a 5-2 start, falling from first place to third in the AFC South.
Washington 15-20 Green Bay Packers
Aaron Jones rushed for a season-high 134 yards and a touchdown on just 16 carries, Aaron Rodgers threw for 195 yards and the Green Bay Packers did enough to beat Washington.
Jones had his third 100-yard rushing game of the season and hauled in six catches for 58 yards. With fewer than three minutes left in the game, the third-year running back had more total yards (192) than Washington (187). Adrian Peterson became just the sixth back in NFL history to reach the 14,000-yard mark, running for 76 yards and a score.
Denver Broncos 38-24 Houston Texans
Rookie Drew Lock threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns, Kareem Jackson had an interception and returned a fumble 70 yards for a touchdown against his former team as the Denver Broncos built a huge first-half lead and coasted past the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Lock, who made his NFL debut in a win over the Chargers last week, threw for 235 yards with three TDs in the first half. It was the most yards passing in a first half by the Broncos since Peyton Manning had 282 in Week 5 of 2014. The Broncos (5-8) scored on their first five possessions to build 38-3 lead early in the third quarter. They scored more than 24 points for the first time since October 2018.
Cincinnati Bengals 19-27 Cleveland Browns
Nick Chubb ran for 106 yards 99 after halftime and Baker Mayfield and Kareem Hunt had rushing touchdowns as the Cleveland Browns kept their faint playoff hopes alive. The Bengals have lost 10 straight AFC North games.
Denzel Ward returned an interception 61 yards for Cleveland's first score and the Browns (6-7) got a huge late break. Mayfield's third interception was reversed with a rare interference call to bounce back after a discouraging loss at Pittsburgh last week. Cleveland need to run the table to have any chance of ending their 17-year postseason drought, the NFL's current longest.
Miami Dolphins 21-22 New York Jets
Sam Ficken kicked a 44-yard field goal as time expired to give the New York Jets a 22-21 comeback victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Sam Darnold got the winning drive going with a short pass to Vyncint Smith, who turned it into a 37-yard gain that included a high-step over a would-be tackler. After a sack two plays later put the ball at the Dolphins 46, Darnold threw an incomplete pass to Smith but the Jets argued that Nik Needham interfered with the receiver by wrapping his right arm around Smith's right shoulder. Officials overturned the call after a video review giving the Jets a first down and new life. A 12-yard catch by Ty Montgomery got the ball to the 26. Two plays later, Ficken won it, helping the Jets (5-8) avoid a season sweep by the lowly Dolphins (3-10).
Detroit Lions 7-20 Minnesota Vikings
Danielle Hunter had three of Minnesota's five sacks to spearhead a resurgence by the defense, and the Vikings sailed past Detroit 20-7 to stick the Lions with their sixth straight loss. Kirk Cousins passed for 242 yards and a touchdown in an efficient if unspectacular performance, and Dalvin Cook had 75 yards from scrimmage and a rushing score on 20 touches over three quarters as the Vikings (9-4) took it easy on their star tailback after an injury to his collarbone area forced him out of the previous game.
Carolina Panthers 20-40 Atlanta Falcons
Matt Ryan threw the longest touchdown pass of his career and became the 10th quarterback in NFL history to reach 50,000 yards, leading the Atlanta Falcons to another dominating win over Carolina.
The Panthers (5-8) were officially eliminated from playoff contention with their fifth straight loss, which ruined the debut of interim coach Perry Fewell. He took over at the beginning of the week after longtime coach Ron Rivera was fired.
Atlanta (4-9) snapped a two-game losing streak and swept the season series with their I-85 rival. Throwing from his own end zone, Ryan finished off the Panthers with a 93-yard touchdown pass to little-used Olamide Zaccheaus in the third quarter. It was a milestone play for both the longest TD of Ryan's 12-year career, and the first career reception for Zaccheaus, an undrafted rookie.
