Molecular dynamics simulations were applied to normal conformational Glutathione (GSH) and GSH over zwitterionic and hydrophobic surfaces respectively. Conformational analysis of GSH during the simulation time on RMSD, conformational flexibility and dihedral distribution were performed. The re-sults showed that zwitterionic structure maintains the normal conformations of GSH to a better extent, which should be a first good proof of the hypothesis of “maintain of normal structure”.

Based on the simulative exposure experiments of nitrobenzene to two small experimental fishes, Medaka (Oryzias latipes) and Chinese Rare Minnow (Gobiocypris rarus), it was found that nitrobenzene could decrease in a linear way in the static aquatic system. Both fishes could accumulate dose-related levels of nitrobenzene quickly and eliminate the compound rapidly when they were transferred to clean water. The Chinese rare minnow showed more sensitivity to the acute toxicity exposure of nitrobenzene than Medaka. Typical molecular biomarkers in oxidative defense system including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) showed the chemical induced alterations. The changes of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities indicated that nitrobenzene might affect the normal neural function. Nitrobenzene exposure could also lead to obvious damaging effects on the target organs, such as gill and liver by hitopathological studies.

The inhibitory effects of five berberines alkaloids (BAs) from rhizoma of Coptis chinensis Franch, a traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) herb, on Bacillus shigae (B. shigae) growth were investigated by microcalorimetry. The power-time curves of B. shigae with and without BAs were acquired; meanwhile, the extent and duration of inhibitory effects on the metabolism were evaluated by growth rate constants (k1, k2), half inhibitory ratio (IC50), maximum heat output (Pmax), and peak time (tp). The values of k1 and k2 of B. shigae in the presence of the five BAs decreased with the increasing concentrations of BAs. Moreover, Pmax was reduced, and the value of tp increased with increasing concentrations of the five drugs. The inhibitory activity varied with different drugs. IC50 of the five BAs was respectively 75 ug/mL for berberine, 90 ug/mL for coptisine, 115 ug/mL for palmatine, 220 ug/mL for epiberberine, and 400 ug/mL for jatrorrhizine. The sequence of antimicrobial activity of the five BAs: berberine > coptisine > palmatine > epiberberine > jatrorrhizine. The functional groups methylenedioxy at C2 and C3 on phenyl ring improve antimicrobial activity more strongly than methoxyl at C2 and C3 on phenyl ring. However, the effect of bacteriostasis is not significant with methylenedioxy or methoxyl at C9 and C10 on phenyl ring.

Narrowly distributed polystyrene-g-p(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PSt-g-PNIPAM) was prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of N-isopropylacrylamide using the brominated polystyrene as macroinitiator and CuCl combined with hexamethyltriethylenetetramine as catalyst. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy confirmed the structure of PSt-g-PNIPAM. The gel permeation chromatography (GPC) showed that the graft copoly-mer had a single distribution peak with molecular weight, Mn (g/mol) of 19815 g/mol (using polystyrene as the standard). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed that due to both effects of hydro-phobic isopropyl groups and hydrogen bonds in the amide group, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PSt-g-PNIPAM enhanced 16.0℃ compared to the Tg of the polystyrene.

A series of calixarene derivatives 2―5 containing heteroatom at the lower rim have been synthesized. 1H NMR studies and crystallographic structures demonstrated that the calix[4]arene derivatives adopted cone conformations. Their cationic binding abilities and selectivities towards heavy and tran-sition metal ions have been evaluated by solvent extraction of aqueous metal picrates. The obtained results indicated that the introduction of nitrogen, sulfur, and/or phosphor atoms to the calix[4]arene framework could effectively enhance their binding ability and selectivity for heavy and transition metal ions, such as Pb2+ or Ag+.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN) is an essential enzyme in the lifecycle of this virus and also an important target for the study of anti-HIV drugs. The binding mode of the wild type IN core domain and its G140S mutant with L-Chicoric acid (LCA) inhibitor were investigated by using multiple conformation molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Based on the binding modes, the drug resistance mechanism was explored for the G140S mutant of IN with LCA. The results indicate that the binding site of the G140S mutant of IN core domain with LCA is different from that of the core domain of the wild type IN, which leads to the partial loss of inhibition potency of LCA. The flexibility of the IN functional loop region and the interactions between Mg2+ ion and the three key residues (i.e., D64, D116, E152) stimulate the biological operation of IN. The drug resistance also lies in several other important effects, such as the repulsion between LCA and E152 in the G140S mutant core domain, the weakening of K159 binding with LCA and Y143 pointing to the pocket of the G140S mutant. All of the above simulation results agree well with experimental data, which provide us with some helpful information for designing the drug of anti-HIV based on the structure of IN.

The reactions taking place in the mixed solution of biphenyl and nitrous acid after it was exposed to UV irradiation were studied in this research work. The transient species were identified with the nanosec-ond transient spectroscopic technique, and the final products were ascertained by GC-MS analysis. It was shown that the OH radical, generated by the direct photolysis of nitrous acid, would attack biphe-nyl molecule to form Bp-OH adduct with a rate constant of 9.5×109 L·mol-1·s-1. The Bp-OH adduct could either react with H+ or be oxidized by nitrous acid to form nitrosobiphenol. The reactions between biphenyl and nitrous acid under UV irradiation in atmospheric aqueous phase were therefore sug-gested to be one promising source of nitrocompounds in the environment.

Two novel diarylfuorocyclopentenes, which underwent gated photochromism, were synthesized. It was found that the photochromic property of these diarylethenes could be switched by alternative addition of acids/alkalis, which could provide a new design strategy toward chemical threshold photoreaction.

The molecular electronegativity-distance vector (MEDV) is employed to describe the chemical structure of organic pollutants. Quantitative linear relationships between the molecular descriptors and BCF values are developed by best subset regression and partial least square regression analysis. The main structural factors influencing the bioactivities are -CH2, -X, -C≮, -C≮, -O-. The high values of r2 and q2LOO present good estimation ability and stability of models. The prediction power for external samples is validated by the model developed from the training set.

The X-ray crystal structures of (NH4)2(15-crown-5)3[Cu(mnt)2] (1) and (NH4)2(benzo-15-crown-5)4-[Cu(mnt)2]·0.5H2O (2) were determined. Two single crystals are composed of distinct structures of ammonium-crown ether supramolecular cation and [Cu(mnt)2]2- anion. The triple-decker dication in complex 1 and a sandwich dimmer in complex 2 were observed. X-Band EPR studies on the single crystals of both complex 1 and complex 2 have been carried out at room temperature, which revealed that complex 2 showed a perfect hyperfine structure of Cu whereas that of complex 1 could not be observed. The principal values and direction cosines of the principal axes of the g and A tensors were computed by a least-squares fitting procedure. The spin density of Cu(II) was estimated according to the principal values of the A tensors and compared well with the results calculated based on DFT method.

Alternate adsorption of positively charged colloid-Au nanoparticles (nano-Au ) and negatively charged hemoglobin (Hb) on L-cysteine (L-cys) modified gold electrode resulted in the assembly of {Hb/nano-Au }n layer-by-layer films/L-cys modified gold electrode. The nano-Au was characterized by transmission electron micrograph (TEM) and microelectrophoresis. The modified electrode interface morphology was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), cyclic voltammograms (CV) and chronoamperometry. Direct electron transfer between hemoglobin and gold electrodes was studied, and the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (kmapp) of the modified electrode was evaluated to be 0.10 mmol·L-1. Moreover, the higher activity of proteins in the nano-Au films could be retained compared with the electropolymerization membrane, since the pro-teins in nano-Au films retained their near-native structure. Direct electron transfer between hemoglo-bin and electrode and electrochemically catalyzed reduction of hydrogen peroxide on a modified elec-trode was studied, and the linear range was from 2.1×10-8 to 1.2 ×10-3 mol·L-1 (r = 0.994) with a detection limit of 1.1×10-8 mol·L-1 H2O2.

Metal ion-induced aggregation of AB into insoluble plaques is a central factor in Alzheimer’s disease. Zn2+ is the only physiologically available transition metal ion responsible for aggregating AB at pH 7.4. To make it clear that the neurotoxicity of Zn2+-induced aggregation of AB on neurons is the key to un-derstand AB mechanism of action further. In this paper, we choose AB (10-21) as the model fragment to research hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. For the first time, we adopt the combination of spectral analysis with patch-clamp technique for the preliminary study of the mutual relations of Zn2+, AB and ion channel from the cell level. The following expounds upon the effects and mode of action of two forms (unaggregated and aggregated) of AB (10-21) on hippocampus outward potassium channel three processes (activation, inactivation and reactivation). It also shows the molecular mechanics of AD from the channel level. These results are significant for the further study of AB nosogenesis and the devel-opment of new types of target drugs for the treatment of AD.

In order to explore ways for the application of white rot fungus in dye effluent treatment under non-sterile conditions, experiment on decolorization of reactive brilliant red was carried out, employing nitrogen-limited and carbon-limited medium with C/N ratio of 56/2.2 and 28/44 (in mmol/L), respectively. The results showed that the decolorization rate reached 92% while culturing white rot fungus with nitrogen-limited medium; however, the decolorization process ended in carbon-limited medium (n(C)/n(N) = 28/44) because of bacterial contamination. In addition, pH rose up to 9.31 after 4 d of decolorization, which was caused by bacterial contamination in the carbon-limited system. Therefore, it is concluded that nitrogen-limited medium can inhibit bacterial growth to some extent while carbon-limited medium is more easily contaminated by bacteria. Nitrogen-limited medium is more suitable in culture of white rot fungus for decolorization of reactive dye. Medium with the ability of inhibiting yeast growth should be developed by adjusting other components of nitrogen-limited medium.

We have studied the ground and excited states of the three dendritic polynuclear Pt(II) complexes 1-[Cl(PH3)2PtC≡C]-3,5-[HC≡≡ C]C6H3 (1), 1,3-[Cl(PH3)2PtC≡C]2-5-[HC≡C]C6H3 (2), and 1,3,5-[Cl(PH3)2-PtC≡C]3C6H3 (3), by using the B3LYP and UB3LYP methods, respectively. TDDFT approach with the PCM model was performed to predict the emission spectra properties of 1―3 in CH2Cl2 solution. We first predicted the excited-state geometries for the three complexes. With the change of the number of Pt(II) atom, 1―3 show the different geometry structures in both the ground and excited states; furthermore, the increase of the metal density from 1 to 3 results in the red shift of the lowest-energy emissions along the series. The luminescent properties of 1 are somewhat different from those of 2 and 3. The emission properties of 2 and 3 are richer than 1. Our conclusion can give a good support for designing the high efficient luminescent materials.

The potential energy curves for the X1E+g, B1Ag and B′1E+g states of C2 have been studied by using MRCI and approximate CI methods, and are benchmarked against the calculations of full configuration in-teraction (FCI). The results obtained by MRCI method agree with the FCI very well, and even are accu-rate enough to compare other approximate methods as benchmark, when the calculations of FCI are not feasible. The approximate CI methods mentioned in this paper are reliable for treating chemical problems.

Scandium p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene complex has been synthesized from scandium isopropoxide and p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene and used as a single component initiator for the first time. The polymerization of 2,2-dimethyltrimethylene carbonate (DTC) using this complex can proceed under mild conditions. Poly (2,2-dimethyltrimethylene carbonate) (PolyDTC) with weight-average molecular weight of 33700 and molecular weight distribution of 1.21 can be prepared. Kinetics study indicates that the polymerization rate is first order with respect to both monomer and initiator concentrations, and the apparent activation energy of the polymerization is 22.7 kJ/mol. 1H NMR spectrum of the polymer reveals that the monomer ring opens via acyl-oxygen bond cleavage leading to an active center of Sc-O.

Interaction between proteins and stationary phase in hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is differentiated into two thermodynamic processes involving direct nonbonding/conformation interaction and surface hydrophobic effect of proteins, hence quantitatively giving rise to a binary linear relation between HIC retention time (RT) at concentrated salting liquid and ligand-protein binding free energy. Then, possible binding manners for 27 proteins of known crystal structures with hydrophobic ligands are simulated and analyzed via ICM flexible molecular docking and genetic algorithm, with results greatly consistent with experimental values. By investigation, it is confirmed local hydrophobic effects of proteins and nonbinding/conformation interaction between ligand and protein both notably influence HIC chromatogram retention behaviors, mainly focusing on exposed portions on the protein surface.

"There’s dem dat’s smart. And dere’s dem dat’s good." Brer Remus
"Anything you want to see," was my answer.
The question was what play we should try to see while we were in London. Maria is nearing her 16th birthday. As a present, I let her decide.
And so we went off to see "Fame," in the West End.
It is not a play I would recommend to you, dear reader. The dancing was lively. But the music was neither memorable nor clever. Instead, each singer seemed to outdo the other with a Barbra Streisand-like screech of sincerity.
Perhaps the idea was fresh in the ’80s, but by the 3rd millennium the plot has become as thin as graffiti and the characters so familiar and so shallow they are no longer interesting. There, at what is supposed to be the New York public high school for the performing arts, is a girl who overdoses on drugs…an awkward Jewish kid who plays the violin, but wants to do rock and roll… and a smart-assed black guy who can’t read. Still, the show seemed to be a big hit on Saturday night.
"People are getting dumber," said my friend Michel at lunch last week. Michel publishes serious books, including the classics of the Greek and Roman periods. But fewer and fewer people seem to be interested.
"A few years ago, we left the footnotes in the original, that is to say in Latin or Greek," he explained. "Now, nobody can read them." All over Paris and London, bookshops are stuffed with picture books – Studebakers, herbal plants from the south of France, Shaker furniture…no subject is too narrow to fail to find a wide audience of page-turners. But thoughtful, difficult books? "It’s a shrinking market," says Michel.
The subject, stupidity, same up again in an argument with Elizabeth.
"Obviously, smarter people have a competitive advantage," she pointed out. "They are better suited for survival. Being smarter is better."
"Oh…if that is so," said I, pompously…"then why are there so many stupid people around? How come they haven’t been eliminated by Darwinian selection?"
I’m afraid, dear reader, that I have nothing much to contribute today to our ongoing inquiry into the moral lessons of markets. Still, today’s obiter dicta suggests that the same moral lessons may apply in the rest of life.
"You misunderstand how natural selection works," I argued with Elizabeth. "It is not the strong who survive and reproduce. It is those who – often for reasons that we will never understand – don’t die."
"The giraffe doesn’t have a long neck because it helps him eat leaves…" I continued. "He has a long neck because the giraffes with short necks died out. If long necks, per se, helped animals survive…then horses and cattle would have long necks too.
"And if smarter animals had a better chance of surviving…how come elephants aren’t smarter than humans?…they have plenty of room for big brains. I’ll give you the answer. Because big brains don’t really give elephants an advantage. At the margin, the big brained elephant dies.
"And you know something else," I continued, revealing our Daily Reckoning secret without elaboration, "it’s true for humans too. Smart people seem to have an unbeatable advantage. But everywhere you look, people don’t seem so smart. Why? Smart people don’t really seem to have an evolutionary advantage at all. It’s people who do the right thing who survive and prosper, not people who do the smart thing…"
There are holes in the theory of evolution, of course. But there are even more holes in the way people understand it. But then, most people are knuckleheads.
One of the very interesting conclusions of the British crime report was that more education doesn’t seem to do much good. "Research…shows that at the age of five, black children perform better than white and other ethnic minority youngsters. But by the age of 16 the achievements of Afro-Caribbean boys are lower…" The longer they stay in school, the dumber they get – relative to the other boys.
Larry Summers, President Clinton’s Secretary of the Treasury, left the official government to become president of Harvard and found as many knuckleheads in America’s leading university as in Washington. One of the most flamboyant of the knuckleheads on Harvard’s campus, he discovered, was Cornel West, a man who built his career on the idea of racism. Summers thought West should take time out from his rap music and giving all his students above-average grades in order to do some serious work…Of course, the Rev. Al Sharpton and other race opportunists jumped to West’s defense.
Summers was immediately charged with being "insensitive" and dismissed by much of the academic community as just another suit.
Cornel West, a tenured professor at Harvard, must have been in school as long as just about anyone. By the logic of British study he must be about as dumb as you can get. His book, Race Matters, seems to confirm it. West thinks "racism" explains almost everything worth explaining.
Racism is a big idea. It can be used to explain why black teenagers boost mobile phones in London…and why test results show them doing more and more poorly the longer they stay in school…and why Robert Mugabe feels entitled to overthrow the rule of law in Zimbabwe.
It takes smart people to come up with such dumb ideas and good people to ignore them.
Your correspondent…just thinking about things…
January 14, 2002 — London, England
– And the final reason to expect a sub-par recovery, says Kasriel, "is that the private sector is in no financial shape to go on a credit-financed spending spree in the immediate future." Corporate debt as a percentage of corporate assets stands at a record high.
– All of which makes the richly valued stock market a rather uninviting destination for capital.
– "The S&P 500, even after two down years, is more than fully valued," asserts money manager Donald Smith in a recent interview with Welling@Weedon. "The S&P sells at over five times book value. That’s unsustainable…that shows you how crazy this market has been. And leads me to feel there’s considerable risk in the market… there’s always some valuation that’s crazy, but in this case, it’s the whole large cap S&P market that’s crazy…the market in general has to have a huge earnings recovery, which we don’t see on the horizon, to justify these kinds of prices."
*** I spent the weekend in England, accompanied by my daughter, Maria. Britain’s newspapers seem to have abandoned their naughty vicar stories over the weekend in order to make room to discuss the findings of a major government report on crime.
*** "Young black men," according to the TIMES, are causing a huge increase in crime. "Nationally, while they represent only 2% of the population, black people were arrested for 28% of the robberies," reports the TIMES. "Black gangs prowl cities for white boys’ mobiles," shouts a headline from another paper, referring to a surge of mobile phone thefts.
*** Over in the "World News" section, another black man makes the news in London: "Mugabe sends in his young thugs to crush opposition." Zimbabwe’s president has found that politics pays better than hustling mobile phones. His "war veterans" run riot – taking over farms and murdering opponents. His latest edicts require journalists to register with and avoid criticizing the Mugabe government.
*** The Economist described his campaign as a "new war against democracy." Mugabe believes in "one man, one vote." He also believes that he should be that man.
*** On Sunday, Maria and I went off to St. Paul’s Cathedral for matins. "I will make you fish for people," the priest read from the gospels, using the new version.
*** "What a dopey translation," I said to Maria, "no wonder no one comes to church."
*** "I will make you fishers of men," was the line before it was made politically correct. Jesus meant that his disciples would be trawling for other people to add to the cause. But the new translation can be misread in a couple of different ways. It could mean that Jesus was going to force them to work for his cause…or that he would turn them into mackerel. Neither is what the Nazarene intended.

Opening in 1843 Ireland’s County Sligo, the new novel from Kalyan Ray follows two friends, Brendan and Padraig, as destiny—inconvenient for the characters, convenient for the narrative—sweeps them away from Ireland and toward opposite ends of the earth. Brendan flees the Irish potato famine and ends up in America; Padraig takes refuge on a ship and ends up bound to India. As both set down roots, their adopted and genetic progeny live parallel, occasionally intersecting lives on two different continents. Each narrator is a member of this unlikely tribe, telling their piece of a much larger story—one with terrible consequences. Right from the start, Ray makes it clear this story of interconnection and inheritance ends in death. In fact, the entire novel is framed by the familiar scene of a detective, a dead body or two, and several pools of blood inside a house in New York in 1989. Though that scene is indelible, knowing it’s coming makes the first two-thirds of the book difficult to really enjoy. One keeps waiting for the ax, literally, to fall.
Fate is the real narrator here, and Ray leans on it to do too much of the telling. Chance claims the homes, wealth, and eventually the very lives of the characters. The book is full of near-misses and almosts, but whatever sense of destiny Ray believes in, it takes up too much of the subtext and not enough the actual text. At times, it seems that the whole world is made of just these two families. Brendan and Padraig’s progeny are like a pack of Forrest Gumps—caught in events as diverse yet formative as the Irish potato famine, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar, It’s compelling, but it’s inherently heavy-handed.
Granted, some of the characters do have memorable voices, and their sections carry the book through its muddled other chapters. Devika Mitra is clearly dear to the author, and he has done a fine job making her fierce American-immigrant voice come to life. Similarly unique is the alcoholic and abused Billy Swint. But both of those characters come into play very close to the end of the story, and don’t make enough of a payoff for the slow start.
In fact, No Country reads better moving backward. Ray has a strong sense throughout of how the story should end—and it ends well, if predictably—but less of how it should begin. The original Brendan and Padraig take a long time to get the story going, and aren’t that intriguing on their own. The first third of the book struggles to find itself, investing in side characters that aren’t, as the story continues, particularly important to its own themes.
With this mass of characters, Ray is bound to repeat himself—and he does. There are many lost brothers in this story, and many only children born out of wedlock to desperate mothers. (One of those unexpectedly pregnant women calls herself a “horrible cliché,” with more self-awareness than Ray seems to have.) It reads as if the author began to lean on established tropes in order to try to flesh out the ensemble. The character called Odd Madgy Finn appears to be an Irish version of Dosteovsky’s Reeking Lizaveta, from The Brothers Karamazov; they’re both even raped in much the same way. This is not exactly bad, but it’s predictable, and serves to flatten characters that are already hard to connect with.
In a roundabout way, the repetition of stories and similarities between characters appear to be the book’s point: Racial and linguistic boundaries are erased when every character gets to be the “I” of their own story, and deep down, all the characters, and really all people, are exactly the same—especially in “no country,” that space where humanity is just humanity. Each narrator says, at some point, the phrase “no country” to themselves or another, with varying shades of meaning. It’s a weirdly constructed phrase, but fascinating in its implications.
Despite getting in its own way, Ray’s vision in No Country is wonderful and poignant. The titular phrase offers a vision of the first years of globalization—as colonialism and disease and sailing ships brought worlds together to collide over and over again. Borders are drawn and redrawn; racial politics make biracial citizens first accepted and then anathema. In this world, the characters seek not just survival, but wholeness, a sense of being all parts of themselves—Irish, Indian, Italian, Jewish, American.
At its most powerful, No Country offers the idea that everyone you meet is kindred already—united if not by hidden roots, than at least by the kinship of merely being human. And as it works to invalidate the idea of any kind of boundary or identifying label, it creates a tragic, poetic vision of lost brothers, missing children, and lovers parted. It’s hardly subtle, and the execution could have been better. But the theme, which is blatantly stated by one character, is one the world desperately needs to hear

Back in the '50s I built a lot of sail boats because the engine and fuel cost was zero. It did cost me some effort beyond building and rigging the hulls, though; my mother refused to make the sails after the first two or three, I had to learn how to run the sewing machine. A skill that has served me well in areas other than modelling since.
My first "Fancy" boat was a Sterling (?) model of the Chris-Craft 52' Catalina, LOA was about three feet, with a Pittman "Super Panther" geared motor, a Willard NT-6 wet cell battery, and an exotic (for the time) two channel radio. Flyball actuator for the rudder, proportional steering was controlled by pulse rate, forward speed by pulse on time. Or the other way around, not sure now. Battery life was very short, tube radios in those days. The boat now sits on my son's mantel, it hasn't been in the water for years.
After I moved down here, one of the neighborhood kids knew I did RC, he came to me with a "WalMart" toy boat, wanted me to help him with it. Took my electric runabout off the shelf, and went with him to a local pond. He looked at his boat running less than 1 mph, and looked at mine skimming over the water, planing nicely, and actually bouncing the prop all the way out of the water going over swells, and decided his WalMart toy wasn't worth the time and money. Wanted a fast boat for himself. This finally gets us to airboats.
Made him a deal. Some used surface radio gear, a used Cox engine and prop, and enough wood to build an airboat. Fifty bucks.
 The sides are curved, and the outer hull is made from 0.016" aircraft plywood. The top deck is 1/8" balsa, with a hatch for access to the radio compartment. Except for the radio box, the hull is filled with NHP two-part expandable foam which both reinforces the skin of the hull and makes it impossible to sink the boat. Engine is a CoxTeeDee 05RC.
Small, but the design has worked out nicely.
RE: Time to get wet.
Based on the LSB, I designed several small airboats for the same powerplant. Some worked good, and some s*#%^*. BUt not much money was invested, but it taught me alot of what I now know about airboats.st? I could cover one of these in about 1 1/2 hours and have it running minutes after that.
The engines used on them are as follows........Cox 290 (twin port), Cox Babe Bee (single port), Cox Black Widow (twin port) and a Norvel .049. ALL of these motors do not have throttle control. They run wide open from the first flip to the last drop of fuel. Loads of fun.
I have built other airboats in the past, powered by McCoy Redheads, K&B Greenheads (you older type fly guys should know what these are) Super Tiger G's, OS MAX's. And moving along to a more modern timeline, OS FS, and my favorites, MDS. When I get an itch to try something new, that meant getting rid of one to make room. I lost count of how many I have built over the past 20or so years. My favorite was a canard design w/.049 power. Always did want to scale it up.............
Excuse me, I hear a pencil and paper calling.................
The #1 boat has a flat bottom, minimal draft and a Cox 290 engine, 18" long, 21.5" OAL.
The #7 boat hsa a semi tunnel, minimal draft, Norvel .049 engine,22" long, 25" OAL.
A couple more 1/2A boats.
#3, Upside down airfoil hull, flat up front transitions to a very shallow vee, Cox Black Widow, 18.5" long, 22.25" OAL.
#5, Flat bottom hull, Cox Babe Bee, 18" long, 21.5" OAL.
Max weight for any of these four hulls is less than 1#.
They look nice, but I have a question.
I have nevr trusted the film coverings to be waterproof at the seams. While I've seen some seaplanes with film covering they never stay in the water very long. And I have seen film covering peel easily from the joints. All I have used in recent years has been polyurethane varnish. It's strong, easy to use, and it's both fuel and water proof.
By the time I started using it on airboats, I had learned alot of tricks and techniques from covering airplanes and High Power Rockets (I've had numerous sideline hobbies in the past also).
*Balsarite. A brushon liquid that I would not do without.
*Trim Solvent. A lot of the trim accents are actually not ironed on, but attached using this solvent. A little trick I also do is after all the covering is applied, I'll hit the seam with a q-tip and solvent.
* The two I use most are MonoKote, and UltraCoat. They have a very simular heat range for application.
* Large seams. Airplane guys always seem to want the least amount of overlap. For boat use, the larger the better. I generally use 1/2-3/4" overlaps on my seams.
*Practice. The more you do it the easier it becomes, and the beter the results. It's fast also. I hate having to wait for paint to dry, not to mention multiple coats, the smells. And there is hardly any prepping before applying. The most important tip is to start with a CLEAN surface. No sanding dust.
Take your time, and experiment.
One thing to keep in mind is that plastic film coverings add no strength to the wood like a good epoxy paint or urethane will. It is more suseptable to damage because it is a softer material. It won't hold up to rocks and other large abrasives any better than paint will. But for smaller, lighter weight projects, I myself find it ideal.
In areas such as motor mount bulkheads, fuel tank pods, I still use paint, usually over an epoxy glue sealed wood.
When you said Balsarite your success was explained.
You mentioned the strengthening of the polyurethane coatings. And I add my 0.016" aircraft ply hull plamking.
With my electric runabout I hit an almost submerged pipe so hard that the double 1/4" balsa motor mount was broken from the impact, and I have never found a mark on the hull.
All my small (1/2A) airboats are design/idea test beds. They are cheap and fast to build, cheap to equipt, cheap to run, but are still a lot of fun.
I use the plastic covering on all my small boats for a couple simple reasons.
It's fast . And I consider the boats expendable. They are design tests after all.
Also with the covering, if I want to make a modification, I don't have to sand down paint to get glue to stick, a quick slice through the covering, a little heat and peel it off.
If the small boat makes it through the testing stage, well then, I have another fun boat.
Don't get me wrong, the covering is durable, but not as durable as a good hard coat finish.
If I hit the same pipe you did, I'm sure you would be able to tell.
Here's a picture of the motor on its mount. This is as it was, there is now a plywood reinforcement on each side. The mounting is two 1/4" vertical sheets, with the tops rounded for the motor's seat. They both broke just about where the wire for the rubber band hooks goes through.

Let me tell you about my delusional manic state when I was convinced I was dead and had moved to the afterlife.
I guess (see previous post) all the suicidal ideation leading up to that episode made me consider death as a blessed state.
I was incarcerated in the local mental ward for six weeks in this state. Some of it was a blast! Some of it boring and deeply frustrating. But my manic delusions such as this one largely kept me quiescent and even happy. I felt like the ‘top dog’ in there and cultivated this role by ‘looking after’ everyone there with gifts, affection or a listening ear.
She appeared to have been brought in for an altercation she had with an Asian assistant in a supermarket (Lidl to be precise). She had a somewhat racist/paranoid obsession with what she called ‘crazy little Pakis’ which she was always prepared to expand on to anyone who would listen. Most of her tirades ended with some kind of reference to crazy little Pakis. They were clearly her own personal scapegoat. She didn’t have problems with any other culture or ethnic identity. In fact at one point she fell in love with the Afro Caribbean Ward Manager.
I know she lives near me and hope I will bump into her again one day as we didn’t swop numbers or anything. I would love to know how she is doing now.

No Extra Taxes or Fees. Owner Pays all Taxes. </s> Changing Our Paradigm about Cancer Treatment
How to Naturally Kill Cancer
F until the late 19th century.[1] Many attribute the untimely death of President George Washington to this practice after he developed a fever and respiratory problems.
Scores of medical doctors are starting to question modern cancer treatments—and for good reason. Dr. Ben Johnson, MD, NMD, DO, recently made the startling announcement that the medical community itself estimates that by the year 2020, more than half of all cancers will be medically induced from drugs or radiation treatment. He went on to say, “Our medical establishment itself will soon become the leading cause of cancer in America.”[3]
In truth, these forms of cancer treatment are so widely accepted today that many find it preposterous to even question them. However, if we stand back and consider what we know, especially about radiation and chemotherapy, these treatments are highly toxic to the body. In fact, “the very drugs used to fight cancer are cancer-causing chemicals!”[6]
Tamoxifen, the most common chemotherapy drug administered to women with breast cancer is classified as a carcinogen bywas discovered originally by the US Army while experimenting with mustard gas.[7]
According to Dr. Ray Strand, MD, “Oxidative stress ,” including cancer.[8] Both radiation and toxic chemotherapy drugs are known to cause oxidative stress in the body.[9]
How to Kill Cancer
In spite of the current dominant practice of prescribing drugs for cancer, there are certain principles around cancer treatment that are universally accepted.[12] These principles include:
Strengthen the immune system.Strengthen the immune system.
Everyone has cancer cells in their bodies. But with a healthy immune system our bodies fight off the cancer and we aren’t even aware of the battle that’s being fought.
When cancer goes rampant and gains the upper hand, it’s because the immune system has been compromised. Click to Tweet.
Cancer cells are anaerobic requiring sugar instead of oxygen to thrive. Oxygen is the secret weapon against cancer cells. Oxygen kills cancer cells while it renders healthy cells more vibrant.[13]
According to their own literature, after five years of chemotherapy, only 2.1 percent of cancer patients will survive.[14] Again, chemotherapy destroys the immune system, destroying the body’s NK (natural killer) cells needed to kill the cancer, and chemo destroys one’s quality of life.
I lost my dad, brother and brother in law in one year. Just a money making racket, I think they have a cure for cancer, but they are making too much money, to start curing people.
There are simpler and more effective ways of treating cancer. Immunotherapy is a good place to start. We hear more and more with natural remedies and rid themselves of cancer! </s>  Fort Myers

LaScheduling that disregards parents work schedules. Parent surveys at one of my schools showed parents preferred for events to start at 6:00pm or later. Why? Many had to work right up until that time or had to get home and feed siblings before turning around and heading to the school. Events that started earlier were simply impossible for them to attend.
Lack of childcare. You may have seen the Gallup poll where Americans rated 2.5 as the ideal number of children. Many families coming from other areas of the globe however, have much larger family groups. If you want these parents to attend events, offering childcare or making the event open to multiple age groups, means that they don’t have to pay for childcare to attend.
If a school can think outside the box and get creative, they can address these issues and increase the likelihood that parents will not only walk through the schools’ doors, but want to stay.

Some time ago, as some of you may be aware of, a trailer hit the world. Namely the trailer for Mechwarrior 5. I’m sure some of you thought “Cool.” when you saw it. Because the trailer was fucking cool. When the news hit, that Mechwarrior 5 was in production, I had no words. There is no way to describe the sensation of awesomeness that went through my mind when I saw the Atlas fucking up the Warhammer. Because the Mechwarrior series is one of my most beloved ever. Ever since Mecwharrior 2 I’ve been a big fan. And even if I wasn’t able to follow along with the story(they’re actually pretty good, if you’re into lore), I just loved being in a 90 ton beast and blasting out lasers and missiles.
But today’s post is more a wish than a discussion. Please almighty lords of gaming, please don’t let the devs arcade the fun out of Mechwarrior. Please give us the mechlab with all its fiddly tweaking. Please!

(4.3b) Two disjoint set with tol-
erance relation
(4.3c) Inclusion and tolerance
FIGURE 4.3: Tolerance relation between sets; Space X is partitioned into squares, Sets
A(solid line), set Y dashed lines have tolerance relation. A∩Y are colored in gray
The relation ∼ = X,ϕ,ε is a special case of the tolerance near set relation ∼ = B,ε
(see, also, the weak nearness relation in (Peters and Wasilewski, 2009)). For conciseness, ∼ =
is used to denote ∼ = X,ϕ,ε . In a manner similar to what L. Polkowski has done in defining the
equivalence class of a rough set A⊂X, we introduce the following equation as a tolerance
class for a rough subset of the universe, A⊂X, with A 6= A:
A / ∼
={Y⊆U|A∩Y 6= φ}.
In other words we are suggesting that two rough sets of universe A, Y⊂X have tolerance
relation( ∼ = ) with each other iff A∩Y 6= φ. Notice that equation 4.21 is defined on elements
in a set X. By contrast, equation 4.22 is defined for two sets.
Proposition 4.4.1 ∼ = is a tolerance relation.
Proof. To show ∼ = is a tolerance relation, we have to show that it is reflexive and symmetric:
•if A = Y⇒A = Y therefore A∩Y 6= φ; So A ∼ = Y . This means that ∼ = is a
reflexive relation, A ∼ = A.
•if A ∼ = Y⇒A∩Y 6= φ⇒Y∩A 6= φ⇒Y ∼ = Y ; therefore ∼ = is a symmetric
Proposition 4.4.2 Equation4.20 is the specialization of equation 4.22.

Steve entered the scene shortly after the sisters opened the Outreach's doors in 1989. With his son Scott and daughter Sara, they helped the sisters hang rods to display clothing and install waterproof containers to keep donated goods dry. From serving on the board of directors to grilling dinners for the migrant worker camp, Steve has continued to be a generous and remarkably creative volunteer and contributor for almost 30 years.
Steve even conceived the idea of the Christmas Toy Party, the Golf Tournament, and his late wife, Sharon, co-founded the Quilting Group. Today the Koenig Family continues their service to Our Lady of Mercy Community Outreach. In December 2017, Steve and his wife, Julie, hosted the 26th Annual Christmas Toy Party. Over 188 families were able to provide a special Christmas for 494 children. Steve and his family reflect and live our values of compassion, inclusiveness, dignity, empowerment, and integrity. They are an inspiration and we honor them with the Love Your Neighbor Award.

S 491, a bill entitled "Federal and Military Retiree Care Equity Act" was introduced in the 111th Congress by Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) on Feb. 26, 2009bill has thirteen (13) co-sponsors upon introduction in the Congress. If signed into law, the measure would change Section 123 of the Internal Revenue Code and grant retired federal workers a benefit that is also available to active federal workers, manyr.
W very important bill which will put extra money in your pocket. Active federal and postal employees already enjoy these savings.
They do not affect retirees who receive private pensions and Social Security. To explain how the current law works, we will take the example of a widow eligible for civil service pension benefits of $600.00 per month and Social Security spousal benefits of $600.00 per month, for a total of $1200.00 per month.
For employees who receive a pension andtheie “Windfall Elimination Provision”after 1985 for a postal/federal pension.
Employees and RetireeWEP on their Social Security benefits before they retire, and then contact a private attorney who is familiar with the Social Security and other federal laws before they retire to ensure maximum family benefits.
We will meet again on Friday, March 20th, at 9:00 a.m. with a break for lunch (provided by FLARA) from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. We will re-convene at 1:00 p.m. for legislative reports and any unfinished business.

Over 200 people, including 14 journalists, were arrested on June 21 during peaceful demonstrations against the arrest of presidential nominee Viktar Babarykae arrests and
Riot police officers watch protesters in Minsk, Belarus, on June 19, 2020. Policend charged three. (AFP/Sergei Gapon)
According to the BAJ, at least 14ts despite wearing badges and press vests to be recognized as media workers. Despite this, the BAJ claimed that journalists were attacked by the police, even while live streaming. Some of them were beaten by the police.
These attacks, as reported by BAJ, are a blatant violation of Belarusian laws. Article 34 of the “Mass Media” law guarantees the right of journalists to report on public events,rights protected by the Belarussian Constitution.
IFJ and EFJ join BAJ in calling on Belarusian authorities to strictly comply with the law and stop persecutingtJournalists in Belarus are being subjected to unacceptable restrictions when doing their job. This is very harmful to Belarusian citizens, who need to be informed about key events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, national elections or public demonstrations. Those responsible for the attacks on media workers have to be held accountable.

I'm thinking about moving up to NL50 SH and I want to ask you guys for some advice.
1. Do I need stats and tracking software? Tbh I've been playing without it for most of the time and was still able to beat NL25 (don't have a clue about my winrate though). I'm playing up to 4 tables and focus more on what's actually going on on the table, not about the exact fold to cbet turn values (for example). I figure I'll have to incorporate it in my play at some point, but can I beat NL50 without it?
2. Is NL50 much harder to beat than NL25? I'm playing on Party so I would be grateful if someone who also plays there could compare those limits.
Any other thoughts and adivices are much appreciated.
don't have a clue about my winrate though. </s> Cyber Cafe

<issue_comment>username_1: Yes that should be right.
<issue_comment>username_1: It doesn't like versions of the form "0.6.0rc0" because "0rc0" part won't parse. I had assumed that versions would always be three  numbers separated by "." followed optionally by "." and other text that's ignored. A version of the form "0.6.0.rc0" would work otherwise we can figure out how to split the version string by "rc#" if it occurs.
Maybe `pkg_resource.parse_version` can support ittests/utils.py#L117
<issue_comment>username_1: I hadn't want to rely on `pkg_resource` since it isn't a base dependency. I'm working on a fix right now though and I'l have a PR shortly.

When Babel compiles strings, there is a bug as follows.

correct answer : `abctrue`
but babel compile wrong answer as follow
with an invalid `concat` string function.
In the past, there are cases where legacy code creates and puts a DOM with a string.
'abc'.concat(function() {

wrong answer :` "abcfunction() {\nif(true) return 'true'; else return 'false';\n}"`
"@babel/cli": "^7.7.0",

right answer : "abctrue"
<issue_comment>username_1: Could you update `@babel/preset-env` to the last version?
I can't reproduce the error in Babel REPL is no other tool transforming your code (maybe a webpack plugin, or a minifier)? Babel doesn't wrap the `? :` operator .

<issue_comment>username_3: Hmm, this seems like a bug in the cop as I don't think that it should target `master` as part of a word. And yeah - the cop's a bit controversial, so we may end up disabling it by default, based on the feedback we receive from our users.

One of the most unique and challenging projects Shasta Semi-Commercial recently completed is the new aquatic project at the Radisson Resort and Spa at Ft. McDowell Casino.
The hotel's entrance includes a fire water feature with a 12' cascading copper basin.
The entire project features a Native American theme that coincides with the design of the hotel. Specially designed basket weaving patterns are part of the ShastaDeck deck surface and showcase traditional tribal art.
The swimming pool area features 8'-12' stone column water features that provide shade for the swimming pool. A state-of-the-art spray pad at the kids' pool uses Tot Turf padding complete with specially designed Native American art patterns and programmable interactive features.
Located in Gilbert, AZ is the new Seville Golf & Country Club Master Planned Community with 2 Master Shasta pools.
The lagoon/play pool has water feature controls designed and built by Shasta Pools & Spas, including a water cannon geyser that shoots water 60 feet in the air once per minute.
The lagoon pool has changing colored lights, shooting water features from its walls and floor and an interactive water canyon along one side.


The then-president’s 2018 decision, following the resignation of Jeff Sessions, to rely on, 5 U.S.C. 3345-3349d, to bypass the Department of Justice’s order of succession and to select an employee (Whitaker) rather than a Prr to oversee the Department of Justice raised significant and largely unresolved constitutional and statutory questions. Kajmowicz sued Whitakerirector of ATF, the United States of Americcontending that Whitaker’s unlawful service as Acting Attorney General rendered a rule he promulgated concerning the scope of the term “machinegun” under the Gun Control Act of 1968 invalit addressing the legality of Whitaker’s designation as Acting Attorney General. Attorney General William Barr ratified the rule at issue; as long as he did so effectively, the rule may stand even if Whitaker served in violation of the Vacancies Reform Act or the Appointments Clause. The ratification forecloses Kajmowicz’s challenge. View "Kajmowicz v. Whitaker" on Justia Law
At the end of 2018, the longest government shutdown in history began because Congress had not passed a budget. For more than a month, FBI employees, like other federal workers, were not paid. Nor did they get payments into their Thrift Savings Plan retirement accounts. Once the government reopened, the FBI sent them their missed paychecks and contributed to their Thrift accounts. But, while the government was shut down, the market had risen. If the government had made its Thrift contributions on time, that money would have bought more shares than the late payments did.The employees filed a class-action suit u, 5 U.S.C. 8401–80, which allows “any participant or beneficiary” of a Thrift plan to sue “to recover benefits.” The government agreed that section 8477(e)(3)(C)(i) waives sovereign immunity but moved to dismiss, arguing that this suit falls outside the waiver and was an effort to recover consequential damages from the government’s late payment, which are not a “benefit” within the waiver. On interlocutory appeal, the Third Circuit reversed the denial of that motion. Congress does not waive federal sovereign immunity unless it speaks clearly. FERSA doe for the employees’ claims.

Delaware’s Unclaimed Property Law (UPL), Del. Code tit. 12 section 1101, allows the state to escheat certain types of unclaimed property held by businesses chartered in the state, if the particular business holding the property is not the owner of it, and specified period of time. Delaware initiated an audit of Siemens, which is incorporated under Delaware law. After a near-decade-long audit process, Siemens suedaudit and arguing that Delaware’s actions conflict with federal common law limiting the scope of any state’s escheatment authority.The district court dismissed most of Siemens’s  on the sole surviving claim, which alleged a violation of procedural due process. The Third Circuit vacated. The district court erred in concluding that Siemens failed to show irreparable harm based on its procedural due process claim, and in dismissing Siemens’s federal preemption claim as unripe. In considering the audit, the district court paid insufficient heed to a holder’s payment obligations with respect to interest and penalties under the statute The court affirmed the dismissal of Siemens’s expedited-audit procedural due process claim.

Portland scored first in the second half, but inside center Rebecca ‘Rx’ Nashett responded with a beautiful weaving run through their defensive line. River scored again off a surprise lineout throw from flanker Brie ‘Bruiser’ Mendoza who stepped up to throw after hooker Sam Montano went out with a twisted ankle (feel better Sam) and it was discovered no one on the field knew how to throw for lineouts. Bruiser threw a beautiful long ball, albeit before the call, but back jumper Cake nabbed it handily and took off downfield before the defense realized what was happening. Lock Maria Sedjo was hot on her heels and caught the offload for the 4th try of the day. Portland showed their speed and responded with 3 tries. With only minutes in the match remaining River knew they were out of time. The Rats never gave up, however, and scored one last try right before the final whistle blew. Capitalizing on a penalty call that put Charles River in Portland’s territory, the Rats went full-press downfield. A back line series gave wing Katy ‘Wilks’ Wetherbee the ball, and a quick handoff to Bee resulted in the 5th and final Charles River try. The final score: 41-25, Portland.
While not the outcome hoped for, Charles River kept their heads cool throughout a tough match, and played good 15-as-1 rugby until the very end.
B-side was a group effort between 4 teams, and a lot of fun. The Lady Rats faced a motley team of Portland, Rutland Ravens, and Boston Women for a 60 minute match. Once again, the River B-Side was massively impressive as they played hard and with heart throughout the match.
The Lady Rats head up to Burlington this weekend for their first away match of the season.

The first line doesn't connect to the 2nd, and the 2nd is very sexual and I don't know why. "Time seemed..." is a better hook and "I glided..." gives a sense of place but " no worries or cares in the world" sounds cliche. Instead, end that line with something specific to your MC. Last line is confusing-Is the stranger holding onto her as they fly? I thought she was flying alone. After reading "Solo Souls Home", I felt that this might be a better place to start- an interesting setting where we can discover how the MC is affected by it.

Solo Souls Group Home is an intriguing name. That sentence makes me me want to keep reading. What comes earlier is a little bit confusing because I don't yet feel grounded in a setting or know who this character is. Tripping over something is a sort of mundane, everyday experience that has nothing to do with magic, so to follow it up with such an intense second line is rather jarring. Then I wonder if perhaps this person is taking drugs because of gliding with no worries.

Ok. I need to know what she tripped over.

I think you did a good job of indicating that this story is magical realism, but I don't get a good idea of the setting of the story. Also, I'm a little bit confused about what's happening, so I think you should start at a spot where it's a little bit more clear what's going on.
