T-Mobile announced Monday that its CEO, John Legere, will be stepping down from his role in May 2020 after over seven years of heading up the mobile service provider.
Legere, 61, is credited with T-Mobile’s growth from struggling company to the third-largest carrier in the US. Since taking over T-Mobile in 2012, Legere has made efforts to overhaul the company’s culture and brand.
Legere is just as well-known for his unconventional demeanor as a tech exec, choosing to frequently wear T-Mobile magenta clothing, littering presentations with curse words, and even riding a Segway around the office. For his role, T-Mobile paid Legere $66.5 million in 2018, making him one of the highest-paid CEOs in the US.
Prior to Legere’s departure from T-Mobile, rumors swirled that he was being considered for the role of CEO of the embattled startup WeWork, which has had a disastrous year and recently lost its chief executive. But Legere denied that rumor, and said he was “never having discussions” with the office-sharing company.
Here’s what you need to know about John Legere, whose reign as T-Mobile CEO will end in May 2020.
John Legere was born in 1958 in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and was a track star in high school.

T-Mobile announced in November that Legere would be stepping down in May 2020. It’s not clear what Legere’s next venture is, but he quickly shut down rumors he was talking with embattled startup WeWork to become its new CEO. Legere will be replaced in 2020 by Mike Sievert, T-Mobile’s current COO and president.

World Series DVD Appears To Show Trash Can Astros Used To Bang To Signal Certain Pitches (VIDEO)
by Darrelle LincolnPitcher Mike Fiers broke a code of silence among players when he reported his former team and their sign-stealing ways. Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic spoke with him and several former members of the Astros organization who explained that the team used a video camera in center field that was fed to a TV screen near the home dugout at Minute Maid Park.
From there, players or staffers of the team would watch opposing catchers put down signs and then bang on a trash can to signal the hitter when an off-speed pitch was supposed to come.
Jomboy has gone through several Astros games from the 2017 season and has uncovered multiple videos of that happening. The most damning evidence comes in the form of their 2017 World Series DVD where it seems to show the trash can used to notify hitters.
Other evidence:
MLB has launched an investigation into the claims and if all this proves to be true, the Astros organization will likely be punished heavily to the point that the 2017 title will be forever tarnished.

HP rejects takeover offer from Xerox
by Associated PressHP Inc. says its board has rejected a roughly $33.5 billion takeover offer from Xerox.
The Palo Alto, California-based company said Sunday that the cash and stock deal undervalues its business and its board cited concerns about “outsized” debt levels should the companies combine.
HP, which makes computers and printers, said it recognizes the potential benefits of consolidation and remains open to exploring other options to combine with Xerox Holdings Corp.
Both companies have faced difficulties as the demand for printed documents and ink have waned.


Zend\Authentication\Adapter\Http provides a mostly-compliant implementation of RFC-2617, Basic and Digest HTTP Authentication. Digest authentication is a method of HTTP authentication that improves upon Basic authentication by providing a way to authenticate without having to transmit the password in clear text across the network.
Major Features:
There are a few notable features of RFC-2617 that are not implemented yet:
This adapter consists of two sub-components, the HTTP authentication class itself, and the so-called “Resolvers.” The HTTP authentication class encapsulates the logic for carrying out both Basic and Digest authentication. It uses a Resolver to look up a client’s identity in some data store (text file by default), and retrieve the credentials from the data store. The “resolved” credentials are then compared to the values submitted by the client to determine whether authentication is successful.
The Zend\Authentication\Adapter\Http class requires a configuration array passed to its constructor. There are several configuration options available, and some are required:
| Option Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| accept_schemes | Yes | Determines which authentication schemes the adapter will accept from the client. Must be a space-separated list containing ‘basic’ and/or ‘digest’. |
| realm | Yes | Sets the authentication realm; usernames should be unique within a given realm. |
| digest_domains | Yes, when accept_schemes contains digest | Space-separated list of URIs for which the same authentication information is valid. The URIs need not all point to the same server. |
| nonce_timeout | Yes, when accept_schemes contains digest | Sets the number of seconds for which the nonce is valid. See notes below. |
| use_opaque | No | Specifies whether to send the opaque value in the header. True by default. |
| algorithm | No | Specified the algorithm. Defaults to MD5, the only supported option (for now). |
| proxy_auth | No | Disabled by default. Enable to perform Proxy authentication, instead of normal origin server authentication. |
Note
The current implementation of the nonce_timeout has some interesting side effects. This setting is supposed to determine the valid lifetime of a given nonce, or effectively how long a client’s authentication information is accepted. Currently, if it’s set to 3600 (for example), it will cause the adapter to prompt the client for new credentials every hour, on the hour. This will be resolved in a future release, once nonce tracking and stale support are implemented.
The resolver’s job is to take a username and realm, and return some kind of credential value. Basic authentication expects to receive the Base64 encoded version of the user’s password. Digest authentication expects to receive a hash of the user’s username, the realm, and their password (each separated by colons). Currently, the only supported hash algorithm is MD5.
Zend\Authentication\Adapter\Http relies on objects implementing Zend\Authentication\Adapter\Http\ResolverInterface. A text file resolver class is included with this adapter, but any other kind of resolver can be created simply by implementing the resolver interface.
The file resolver is a very simple class. It has a single property specifying a filename, which can also be passed to the constructor. Its resolve() method walks through the text file, searching for a line with a matching username and realm. The text file format similar to Apache htpasswd files:
1 | <username>:<realm>:<credentials>\n
|
Each line consists of three fields - username, realm, and credentials - each separated by a colon. The credentials field is opaque to the file resolver; it simply returns that value as-is to the caller. Therefore, this same file format serves both Basic and Digest authentication. In Basic authentication, the credentials field should be written in clear text. In Digest authentication, it should be the MD5 hash described above.
There are two equally easy ways to create a File resolver:
1 2 3 | use Zend\Authentication\Adapter\Http\FileResolver;
$path = 'files/passwd.txt';
$resolver = new FileResolver($path);
|
or
1 2 3 | $path = 'files/passwd.txt';
$resolver = new FileResolver();
$resolver->setFile($path);
|
If the given path is empty or not readable, an exception is thrown.
First, set up an array with the required configuration values:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | $config = array(
'accept_schemes' => 'basic digest',
'realm' => 'My Web Site',
'digest_domains' => '/members_only /my_account',
'nonce_timeout' => 3600,
);
|
This array will cause the adapter to accept either Basic or Digest authentication, and will require authenticated access to all the areas of the site under /members_only and /my_account. The realm value is usually displayed by the browser in the password dialog box. The nonce_timeout, of course, behaves as described above.
Next, create the Zend\Authentication\Adapter\Http object:
1 | $adapter = new Zend\Authentication\Adapter\Http($config);
|
Since we’re supporting both Basic and Digest authentication, we need two different resolver objects. Note that this could just as easily be two different classes:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | use Zend\Authentication\Adapter\Http\FileResolver;
$basicResolver = new FileResolver();
$basicResolver->setFile('files/basicPasswd.txt');
$digestResolver = new FileResolver();
$digestResolver->setFile('files/digestPasswd.txt');
$adapter->setBasicResolver($basicResolver);
$adapter->setDigestResolver($digestResolver);
|
Finally, we perform the authentication. The adapter needs a reference to both the Request and Response objects in order to do its job:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | assert($request instanceof Zend\Http\Request);
assert($response instanceof Zend\Http\Response);
$adapter->setRequest($request);
$adapter->setResponse($response);
$result = $adapter->authenticate();
if (!$result->isValid()) {
// Bad username/password, or canceled password prompt
}

- Parameter Reduction & Effective Theories
- Two Cultures of Mathematical Modeling
- Fisher Information reflects low-effective dimensionality
- Physically insightful models often emerge because of a "small parameter"
- Information Geometry
- Models are equivalent to manifolds
- Hierarchy of widths
- Complex Models have low effective dimensionality
- Parameter Reduction = Manifold Hyper-corners (MBAM)
- Systematically derive new, effective theories from first principles
- Information Topology: A meta theory for organizing our information about the world
By characterizing the geometric and
topological structures underlying scientific models, we can
connect bottom-up descriptions of complex processes with top-down
inferences drawn from data, paving the way for emergent theories in
physics, biology, and beyond.


Temperature
is a simple Value Object for basic temperature operations like conversions from Celsius
to Fahrenhait
or Kelvin
etc.
Supported scales: Celsius
, Fahrenheit
, Kelvin
and Rankine
.
Creating Temperatures
A new temperature can be created in multiple ways:
-
Using keyword arguments:
Temperature.new(degrees: 0, scale: :celsius)
-
Using positional arguments:
Temperature.new(0, :celsius)
-
Even more concise way using
Temperature.[]
(an alias ofTemperature.new
):Temperature[0, :celsius]
Creating Temperatures from already existing temperature objects
Sometimes it is useful to create a new temperature from already existing one.
For such cases, there are set_degrees and set_scale.
Since temperatures are Value Objects, both methods returns new instances.
Examples:
temperature = Temperature[0, :celsius]
# => 0 °C
new_temperature = temperature.set_degrees(15)
# => 15 °C
temperature = Temperature[0, :celsius]
# => 0 °C
new_temperature = temperature.set_scale(:kelvin)
# => 0 K
Conversions
Temperatures can be converted to diffirent scales.
Currently, the following scales are supported: Celsius
, Fahrenheit
, Kelvin
and Rankine
.
Temperature[20, :celsius].to_celsius
# => 20 °C
Temperature[20, :celsius].to_fahrenheit
# => 68 °F
Temperature[20, :celsius].to_kelvin
# => 293.15 K
Temperature[20, :celsius].to_rankine
# => 527.67 °R
If it is necessary to convert scale dynamically, to_scale method is available.
Temperature[20, :celsius].to_scale(scale)
All conversion formulas are taken from RapidTables.
Conversion precision: 2 accurate digits after the decimal dot.
Comparison
Temperature
implements idiomatic <=> spaceship operator and mixes in Comparable module.
As a result, all methods from Comparable are available, e.g:
Temperature[20, :celsius] < Temperature[25, :celsius]
# => true
Temperature[20, :celsius] <= Temperature[25, :celsius]
# => true
Temperature[20, :celsius] == Temperature[25, :celsius]
# => false
Temperature[20, :celsius] > Temperature[25, :celsius]
# => false
Temperature[20, :celsius] >= Temperature[25, :celsius]
# => false
Temperature[20, :celsius].between?(Temperature[15, :celsius], Temperature[25, :celsius])
# => true
# Starting from Ruby 2.4.6
Temperature[20, :celsius].clamp(Temperature[20, :celsius], Temperature[25, :celsius])
# => 20 °C
Please note, if other
temperature has a different scale, temperature is automatically converted to that scale before comparison.
Temperature[20, :celsius] == Temperature[293.15, :kelvin]
# => true
IMPORTANT !!!
degrees
are rounded to the nearest value with a precision of 2 decimal digits before comparison.
This means the following temperatures are considered as equal:
Temperature[20.020, :celsius] == Temperature[20.024, :celsius]
# => true
Temperature[20.025, :celsius] == Temperature[20.029, :celsius]
# => true
while these ones are treated as NOT equal:
Temperature[20.024, :celsius] == Temperature[20.029, :celsius]
# => false
Math
Addition/Subtraction.
Temperature[20, :celsius] + Temperature[10, :celsius]
# => 30 °C
Temperature[20, :celsius] - Temperature[10, :celsius]
# => 10 °C
If second temperature has a different scale, first temperature is automatically converted to that scale before degrees
addition/subtraction.
Temperature[283.15, :kelvin] + Temperature[10, :celsius]
# => 10 °C
Returned temperature will have the same scale as the second temperature.
It is possible to add/subtract numerics.
Temperature[20, :celsius] + 10
# => 30 °C
Temperature[20, :celsius] - 10
# => 10 °C
In such cases, returned temperature will have the same scale as the first temperature.
Also Ruby coersion mechanism is supported.
10 + Temperature[20, :celsius]
# => 30 °C
10 - Temperature[20, :celsius]
# => -10 °C
Negation
-Temperature[20, :celsius]
# => -20 °C
Queries
Temperature[0, :celsius].boil_water?
# => false
Temperature[0, :celsius].freeze_water?
# => true

The "Quiz Your Friends" XSS Exploit
Note: I have alerted the administrators of this site multiple times about this vulnerability. One email was sent many years ago, which is more than enough time for responsible disclosure.
Update: They have fixed the vulnerability as of the day of release for this article.
Background
In early 2014, when my “programming” skills consisted of editing web pages with inspect element, I was sent a link from an old friend in a town about 3 hours away. This was a link to a quiz about them. I had to answer as many questions right as I could about them and I got a score at the end based on my answers. It seemed fun enough, so I went for it. In the following weeks this quiz website became quite a trend amongst my friend group as we all started making quizes to see how well we all knew eachother.
A few weeks into this trend, I was staying at a friends’ place and told him about this site, so he goes and creates his own quiz and sends it to all his friends, group chats, Google Plus groups, et cetera.
Hackerman
While filling in my friend’s survey I thought it would be
funny for them to know it is me without anyone else knowing.
We were young and had Inspect Element
ed a few things together,
so it was a safe bet that an HTML joke would let them know.
I decided to write my name like so: Steve

Steve is in reference to the main character in the video game Minecraft.
Now in theory this should have shown in in the leaderboard as: “Steve” However, to my horror and excitement, I saw this in the leaderboard:
The text “Steve” showed up in bold on the leaderboard. This told me all I needed to know. How did this happen? You might wonder.
Server-Side Validation
Here is a great demonstration why you should do most of your validation on the server side. As a user, I can edit any of the HTML, CSS, or Javascript your server serves to me.
Quiz your friends uses the maxlength=20
HTML attribute on the name input field.
Imagine trying to fit in a script tag doing anything useful with 20 characters! Don’t forget that includes the
Sure enough, I got a text from my friend saying: “Tait! I know this is you, why would you do that!” A bit salty, but who wouldn’t be.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
As my final act, I decided to use a cross-site script that I could edit and have it load with new changes at any time.
I set this as my name:

This script pops up a warning, telling the user that the site is insecure and it is now redirecting to an article about the attack. This script redirects to an older post I made about how XSS works.
Conclusion
Watch out for sketchy websites that may be vulnerable to malicious or insecure sites which are ripe for abuse. Always check that you are using an encrypted connection, HTTPS. And if you see any messages warning you that a site is not secure and redirecting you to some random site… Take their info with a grain of salt.
Happy Hacking, literally :)

Human remains believed to be Aniah Blanchard discovered in Alabama
by Jesse HollandTwo men are currently being held on kidnapping charges in the disappearance of Aniah Blanchard, stepdaughter of UFC heavyweight Walt Harris.
Those charges are likely to be upgraded to murder.
“I can confirm that human remains have been found and we have good reason to suspect they are that of Aniah Blanchard,” District Attorney Brandon Hughes told WRBL News 3.
Antwon Fisher, 35, along with 30-year-old Ibraheem Yazeed, were taken into custody after a nationwide search for Blanchard, who went missing in late October. Her car was eventually recovered, soaked in blood, suggesting foul play.
A preliminary hearing for Fisher and Yazeed is scheduled for Dec. 18 and Blanchard’s family has been notified of the grisly discovery, which came on Monday morning in a wooded area in Macon County, Alabama, not far from New Hope Baptist Church.
An autopsy has been ordered to confirm her identity, as well as determine the probable cause of death.

About Us


The aorta, the large artery that leaves the heart, is the main passageway of blood to the rest of the body. It arches in the chest to follow the spinal column into the belly area, where it branches to both legs. If the wall of this blood vessel develops a weak spot, it can bulge out, much like the weak spots on an inner tube. The resulting bulge is called an aneurysm. The danger is that this aneurysm might rupture, causing sudden death from a massive hemorrhage.
The symptoms of an aortic aneurysm may be as subtle as vague belly pain or back pain, or a blood pressure difference between both arms or an arm and a leg. On the other hand, symptoms may be as obvious as the appearance of a pulsating palpable mass in the belly. The likelihood that an aneurysm will rupture increases as it becomes larger; when it reaches a certain size, it is important to get it repaired immediately, before it can burst.
Obviously this condition needs to be diagnosed before rupture. Therefore if you note a pulsating bulge and/or sudden severe pain in your side, abdomen or lower back, you need to be taken to an emergency room immediately. Occasionally an aneurysm is detected during a routine physical exam, or during a routine abdominal X-ray. (See Appendix C, page 392.) Aneurysms are most often seen in smokers; in people with a family history of aneurysms (i.e., Marfan’s syndrome); in people with high blood pressure, diabetes, and diseases where fatty deposits build up in the arterial wall; and in the elderly. If you have an aneurysm and you suffer sudden, severe back pain, blood in your stools, and/or a change in the color of your legs, with or without sweating and/or weakness, you need immediate transport to emergency medical care.

Description
Compares the low single-precision floating-point values in the first source operand and the second source operand and returns the minimum value to the low doubleword of the destination operand.
If the values being compared are both 0.0s (of either sign), the value in the second source operand is returned. If a value in the second operand is an SNaN, that SNaN is returned unchanged to the destination (that is, a QNaN version of the SNaN is not returned).
If only one value is a NaN (SNaN or QNaN) for this instruction, the second source operand, either a NaN or a valid floating-point value, is written to the result. If instead of this behavior, it is required that the NaN in either source operand be returned, the action of MINSD can be emulated using a sequence of instructions, such as, a comparison followed by AND, ANDN and OR.
The second source operand can be an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location. The first source and destination operands are XMM registers.
128-bit Legacy SSE version: The destination and first source operand are the same. Bits (MAX_VL:32) of the corre-sponding destination register remain unchanged.
VEX.128 and EVEX encoded version: The first source operand is an xmm register encoded by (E)VEX.vvvv. Bits (127:32) of the XMM register destination are copied from corresponding bits in the first source operand. Bits (MAX_VL-1:128) of the destination register are zeroed.
EVEX encoded version: The low doubleword element of the destination operand is updated according to the writemask.
Software should ensure VMINSS is encoded with VEX.L=0. Encoding VMINSS with VEX.L=1 may encounter unpre-dictable behavior across different processor generations.

Contents Different modes of Distributed TLC How Distributed TLC in Ad Hoc Mode Works Running the Master Running the Slave Computers Limitations of Distributed Mode Getting and Giving Help
TLC keeps fingerprints of all states that it has found, which it uses to determine if a newly computed state has already been examined. It writes the set of fingerprints to disk if it becomes too big to fit in memory. Having to read fingerprints from disk slows TLC down considerably. As explained below, you can have distributed TLC distribute the set of fingerprints to multiple slave computers (instead of keeping them on the master computer).
 For any large model, it's a good idea to give TLC as much of the computer's memory as is not needed by the operating system and other programs that will be running at the same time. This applies to TLC being run on the slaves and on the master if slave fingerprint servers are not used.
TLC is run on a model. To specify that it is to be run in distributed mode, select "ad hoc" in the Run in distributed mode drop down list in the How to run? section of the Model Overview Page. That section also allows you to adjust the amount of memory allocated to the master.
Your master computer is likely to have multiple network interface cards
and thus several different IP addresses. The Master's network address
drop down list shows all IP addresses the Toolbox could identify. Choose the one
to which the workers will be able to connect. The Toolbox tries guess the best
match and selects it by default.
It is up to you to configure your master's firewall to allow the workers incoming
connections.
You start a TLC run in distributed mode as usual by clicking on the button, by selecting Run model on the TLC Model Checker menu, or by typing F11. This should cause the Current status field of the Model Checking Results Page to change to Master is waiting for (remote) workers and then to indicate that one or more workers have registered with the master.
If you want TLC to store the fingerprint set among slave computers, you must run a (single) fingerprint server on each of them. Your model must tell TLC how many fingerprint servers it will use. If you want fingerprints stored on 5 fingerprint servers (5 slave computers), you increase the Number of distributed fingerprint sets spinner to 5. Setting it to 0, means that the master will store the fingerprints. The master uses more memory in this mode.
For distributed mode, you may also want to add special arguments to the command that launches the JVM that runs the master. As explained below, one such argument may be needed for the master and the workers to communicate. The arguments are put in the JVM arguments field of the model's TLC Options page, which may be opened via a link on the Model Overview page.
If your model will run for a long time (days or weeks), you may not want to
keep the Toolbox open for the entire run. Instead, you can run TLC from
a command line.
The easiest way to do this is to create the model
in the Toolbox, and validate it.
You can then run distributed TLC with the following command, where tool-path
is the complete pathname of the directory containing the file tla2tools.jar
and model-path
is is the complete pathname of the directory
Spec.toolbox/ModelName
, with
Spec
the specification's name and ModelName
the model's name
(see How TLC is Run):
java -cp tool-path tlc2.tool.distributed.TLCServer model-path/MCLike the JVM argument
-cp tool-path
, other JVM arguments can come between java
and tlc2.tool.distributed.TLCServer
in this command. TLC options follow
model-path/MC
.
The following are the basic steps that must be accomplished to start the slaves. The details of how these steps are performed will vary according to the operating system and network configuration that you are using. If you have trouble getting distributed TLC to work on your system, try finding help on the TLA+ Google group.
To run the slaves, you must have a network of computers that can communicate with one another and with the machine running the master and the Toolbox. We assume that there is some some remote management/administration system installed on the computers that run the workers. Examples of such a system are Remote Desktop (Windows), ssh, rsh, and telnet. A Java Runtime Environment (JRE), version 11 or later, must also be installed on the machines.
Start the Toolbox on the master computer, and then open a web browser to the URL
http://master-computer:10996where
master-computer
is the name (or IP address) of the master computer.
wget http://master-computer:10996/files/tla2tools.jarThen execute one of the following commands in that slave's shell:
java -cp tla2tools.jar tlc2.tool.distributed.TLCWorker master-computer
java -cp tla2tools.jar tlc2.tool.distributed.fp.DistributedFPSet master-computer
java -cp tla2tools.jar tlc2.tool.distributed.fp.TLCWorkerAndFPSet master-computer
The wget
command downloads the file
tla2tools.jar
into the current directory on the worker
machine, the java
command actually starts the worker. The
wget
command therefore just has to be executed the first
time you run a worker, and then whenever you install a new version of
the Toolbox. The wget
command is not part of
Windows, but can be installed on Windows as part of Cygwin.
You can add JVM arguments to the java
command, such as the argument
-Xmx7G
that
gives the slave 7 gigabytes of memory.
By default, each slave that runs workers runs as many worker threads as it has processors. Running that many threads on the slave might cause problems with some operating system. The following JVM argument causes each slave to run 2 threads:
-Dtlc2.tool.distributed.TLCWorker.threadCount=2(This JVM argument is only applicable for slaves and has no effect if passed to the master process).
jones-home-laptop
or
tla.msr-inria.inria.fr
. However, some computers have
multiple network interfaces, with different IP addresses--for example,
<IP_ADDRESS>
and <IP_ADDRESS>
. If the master
computer is such a computer, then it's possible that using this name
as the master-computer name in the instructions above will cause the
worker not to be able to communicate with the master because they are
using different IP addresses. To solve this problem, choose one of
those IP addresses--say <IP_ADDRESS>
. Use that address
as the master-computer name in the instructions above for running the
workers, add the following JVM argument
to the model:
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<IP_ADDRESS>
tla2tools.jar
file and
starting the workers. How this is done will depend on the
operating system and network configuration.
If you need help, try going to
the TLA+ Google group.
If you have successfully run TLC in distributed mode, please use that
Forum to tell others how you did it on your system.


Advance: Luis Suarez - The numbers speak for themselves
The Barcelona forward spoke to Sport in an interview coming out on Friday
by sport.esBarcelona forward Luis Suarez spoke to Sport in an exclusive interview that will go out on Friday. The Uruguayan, a football legend, analysed the current situation of the club, speaking about Gerard Pique, Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, as well as other topics related to Barcelona.
He was at a presentation of new Puma boots when he conducted his interview with Sport.
“The numbers speak for themselves,” said Suarez. “It’s normal there are moments that are more complicated but I think they are complimentary and statistics that make me feel very proud.”
This is a snippet from the interview which you can read in Diario Sport on Friday - and here on Sport English.

Documentation
QC Benchmarker relies on using data generated from a commercial protein digest, and that the data be acquired in a standardized fashion. The following describes what materials are supported, how to prepare them, and LC-MS/MS settings for analysis. Email us at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with questions/comments.
Commercial Digest
While still in beta, only a HeLa digest is supported by QC Benchmarker, but in the future the following will be supported:
Thermo Scientific HeLa Digest
Promega Yeast Digest
Waters E. coli Digest
Loading and LC Conditions
The recommended loading is 200 ng on column. Prepare the material using the manufacturer's suggested protocol.
The recommended LC gradient for HeLa and yeast is:
| Time (min) |
% Acetonitrile |
| 0 |

(if using a trap/elute set-up, the first step is 10 minutes of trapping)
There will be a shorter gradient used for
E. coli or for ~40 ng loading of HeLa and yeast.
MS/MS Acquisition Settings
Acquisition settings are given below, and these are not meant to be "best" settings, but are settings known to give certain performance when collecting MS/MS in data-dependent acquisition mode.
More settings will become available with time.

Instrument File Support
Since QC Benchmarker relies on msconvert, the following vendor formats are currently supported:
Thermo
Agilent
Bruker
Sciex
Shimadzu
UIMF
Miscellaneous
It is important to note that system performance can vary, and that QC Benchmarker is meant to describe at what performance has dropped precipitously. Thresholds are based on typical runs for each platform (not outlier excellent runs), but this isn’t to say that these thresholds are universally applicable. For example, LC peak widths may vary from 15 seconds to 60 seconds across labs. If 60 seconds is considered normal, then any quality judgement QC Benchmarker makes should be ignored. But the concept of running a single material under standard conditions will give users the ability to generate quality metrics over time, and thereby inform system performance and direct troubleshooting.

Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of the uterus. This tissue, which does not belong outside the uterus, becomes trapped and can cycle with your period, bleed, and cause symptoms like pain. It can also cause irritation that can lead to scarring and “adhesions,” which are abnormal bands of tissue that can cause organs to stick to each other. Endometriosis can lead to trouble getting pregnant.
The cause of endometriosis is not known. You could ask your doctor or the study doctor about this.
There is no simple test for endometriosis. A doctor or nurse may suspect that you have endometriosis if you have painful menstruation (“your monthly cycle”). The only way to diagnose endometriosis is for a doctor to do surgery. This surgery is typically a “laparoscopy,” a surgery in which a doctor makes a small cut in the belly and inserts a tube with a camera. This allows the doctor to see, and sometimes remove, endometriosis tissue.
Treatment options include oral medicines, injectable medicines, and surgery, all of which have pros and cons.


Glossary
ToIP – Trust over IP Foundation
It comes under the Linux Foundation. The mission of the ToIP foundation is to simplify and standardize how trust is established online so that everyone can feel safe, secure, and private in all of our digital interactions — whether between individuals, businesses, governments, or any “thing” on the Internet of Things.
DID – Decentralized Identifier
DIDs are globally unique identifiers that are created by their owner, independent of any central authority. Each DID has associated with it one or more public keys created by the DID owner (and the owner holds the corresponding private keys), and one or more endpoints - addresses where messages can be delivered for that identity. A DID can be uniquely resolved (like a URL) to return the the data (public keys and endpoints) associated with the DID.
Agents and Wallets
It is hard to manage all the DIDs a person creates or receives. Indy uses the term "Agent" to mean the software that interacts with other entities, and the term "Wallet" as a data store for the DIDs and related information. For example, a person might have a mobile Agent app on their smart devices, while an Organization might have an enterprise Agent running on a Cloud Server. All Agents have a secure Wallet for storing identity data.
A personal Agent wallet is similar to a password manager - there is a name for each relationship and associated data. However, unlike Password Managers that use things like your copy/paste clipboard for User IDs and Passwords and "screen-scrape" applications and websites, Agents communicate directly with Agents to accomplish Identity-related tasks.
The picture below is an example of some communicating Indy Agents. The Edge Agents are handled by the Identity owners themselves - in this case a Consumer and an Enterprise. The Cloud Agents facilitate the messaging by, for example, providing a permanent endpoint for a device that may or may not be online at the time messages are being received.
Credential
Credentials are things like driver's licenses, passports, or university degrees that are given to us from an issuing authority that we can use to show to others when needed.
Verifiable Credential(VC)
VCs are digital equivalents of paper credentials that are cryptographically processed such that when we show ("prove") the claims (data elements from the Credentials), the receiver ("Verifier") can be certain: - Who issued the claims - That the claims were issued to the Identity presenting them - That the claims have not been tampered with (forged), and - That the claims' Credential has not been revoked by the Issuer.
As the image below shows, the data flow for Verifiable Credentials is the same as with paper documents - Issuers give Verifiable Credentials to the Holder, and the Holder can prove them to Verifiers at any time.
Issuer, Holder, Verifier
- Issuer - Issues Verifiable Credentials to the Holder
- Holder - Holders request credentials from issuers, hold them in their wallets and present them when requested by verifiers
- Verifier - Verifies the claims presented by the Holder
TIP – Trust over IP Interoperability Profile
A TIP represents a specific combination of technologies that span each of the four layers of the ToIP technology stack in order to meet the requirements of a set of target customers in one or more digital trust ecosystems. TIPs can be designed, refined and supported by multiple vendors and customers wishing to collaborate on interoperability.
TSWG – Technology Stack Working Group
This working group (members) concerns a broadly defined and broadly applicable set of technologies (the "stack of technology") that can be used to promote the ability of project-level scientists to build web-based data and processing services that are readily found and used by others. Part of this effort is to promote interoperability between individual services in order to help scientists pursue more integrated science.
GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation
General Data Protection Regulation is meant to fundamentally reshape how personal data are collected and processed by giving all individuals living in the European Union (or the greater European Economic Area) new rights to access and control their data on the Internet.
Identity Utility Network
An Identity Utility Network associated with a DID Root Namespace that operates under its own Governance Framework.
Digital Trust Ecosystem
An interdependent group of enterprises, people and/or things that share a standardized trust model for mutually beneficial purposes, such as consumer and commercial interactions that are verifiable.
DID Namespace
Building on URI Standards, the DID Specification allows for both root namespace (did:xxx) and sub-namespace (did:xxx:yyy) conventions.
Node
A computer network server running an instance of the code necessary to operate a distributed ledger or blockchain.
Browser wars
A browser war is competition for dominance in the usage share of web browsers. With the introduction of HTML5 and CSS 3, a new generation of browser war began, this time adding extensive client-side scripting to the World Wide Web, as well as more widespread use of smartphones and other mobile devices for browsing the web. These newcomers have ensured that browser battles continue among enthusiasts, while the average web user is less affected.
Credential Registry
The Credential Registry is a cloud-based library that collects, maintains, and connects information on all types of credentials
Digital Service Providers
DSPs are providers of DID based solutions.

"Something has survived" we are advised by the movie poster. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) who remembers his terrible experience at Jurassic Park four years ago only too well, is horrified when he finds out. The dinosaurs should have died of lack of lysine according to their genetic makeup, but they didn't only survive on Isla Sorna but formed a new closed eco system. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), has turned from evil capitalist to reformed environmentalist and wants to send a team on the island to watch the dinosaurs in their natural environment.
He hopes for Malcolm to be the fourth man on the team and is surprised to find him less than enthusiastic about the whole idea. Malcolm has lost his job after spreading stories about dinosaurs in public and really doesn't have much of an alternative. But he only changes his mind when he finds out that the team's paleontologist is his girl friend Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore) and that she is already on the island on her own. Now he rushes the other participants, camera man Nick Van Owen and technical specialist Eddie Carr, to leave immediately.
After their arrival on Isla Sorna they first find Sarah's torn back pack and then herself, happy as pie and just about to watch a group of stegosaurs with their young. On returning to their trailers they find Malcolm's teenage daughter Kelly (Vanessa Lee Chester) who came along without her father's knowledge. Malcolm wants his girl friend and daughter off the island immediately but can't handle the radio equipment and Sarah's resistance.
In the meantime a second team led by Hammond's nephew Peter Ludlow (Arliss Howard) lands on the island. They are not here to take pictures, though. They want to catch dinosaurs for their theme park in San Diego. Ludlow hired big game hunter Roland Tembo and his team, among them hunter and loudmouth Dieter Stark (Peter Stormare) and paleontologist Robert Burke (Thomas F. Duffy). In spite of their contrary interests both teams end up depending on each other in their fight for survival. The second team is successful: they manage to load a T. rex on their ship and take him to San Diego for the showdown.
When JURASSIC PARK hit the movie theaters five years ago it seemed hard to believe that those special effects could be topped. Nothing is as short-lived as the computer industry and you can tell right away that enormous progress has been made. The dinosaurs in THE LOST WORLD are unbelievably real. Of course some anatomic details are off just as in JURASSIC PARK, but who cares about details when a herd of stegosaurs tramples over the screen as if this could happen any day or when some angry pachycephalosaurs work out by ramming the intruders' cars. Incredible. The animatronic models are just as good as the computer generated dinos.
The dinosaurs are the stars of the movie and easily push their human counterparts aside, even if THE LOST WORLD boasts a number of fine actors.
Jeff Goldblum reprises his role of chaotic chaotician Ian Malcolm, who didn't have much to do in JURASSIC PARK except for warning everybody about the consequences of genetic engineering and wasn't too nice a guy there either. Including him in the movie again was a good choice, and he can handle his lead. Bizarre parts seem to be just up his alley. This time he gets to be the hero instead of breaking his bones five minutes into the movie. His cool speeches are plenty and provide the neccessary humor. He also shows that the movie isn't taking itself too seriously.
No such luck for Julianne Moore. She and Vanessa Lee Chester are the token women of the movie. The script sees her in one function only: the woman that can be rescued by the guys whenever the need arises. Although she supposedly is a paleontologist and behaviorist she introduces herself by patting a baby stegosaur - the dumbest scene in the movie by far.  She might as well put up a sign "Dinner's ready, come and get it!" But her method is more effective, since dinosaurs can't read.
As far as the part of Sarah Harding is concerned the auther should have stuck to Michael Crichton's book a lot more. But the scenario "Sarah saves Ian" can't be accepted by Hollywood as yet. So she has to depend on her luck which luckily never leaves her even as in the end she crosses paths with some velociraptors who prefer to fight among themselves instead of going for the easier prey.
Richard Schiff, Vince Vaughn and Vanessa Lee Chester are the rest of the "good guys". Obviously a Spielberg movie can't do without kids and so Malcolm is stuck with a daughter left to him by one of his ex-wifes. Kelly is there to save her father from a velociraptor in one of the not so well done action scenes. Vince Vaughn saves an injured T. rex baby with Sarah. That wasn't so good an idea after all, because the frightening reptiles turn out to be good parents and don't like this at all. They provide for one of the most gripping scenes in the movie when they push the trailer over a cliff although their young has been given back to them. This is Richard Schiff's big moment. He tries to pull the trailers back or at least save the people inside. Unfortunately mommy and daddy are still very angry and he finds a tragic end.
The outstanding bad guys are Pete Postlethwaite and Peter Stormare. Postlethwaite is big game hunter Roland Tembo whose grand desire it is to add a male T. rex to his hunting trophies. Anybody can have a deer's, elk's or lion's head hanging on his wall, but a T. rex... He supposedly never heard of sexual dimorphism of tyrannosaurs or else he'd have prefered a female whose head would have been bigger. Well, he gets neither but is one of the more interesting characters. Peter Stormare as Dieter Stark lives up to his sadist image from FARGO. He tortures a procompsognathus with an electric stick after making sure with Robert Burke that this species is harmless. Boy was he wrong. Animal rights activists will be glad to see that punishment isn't far away.
Robert Burke is one of the movie's best in-jokes. Unfortunately not too many Europeans are likely to notice. Paleontologists are public figures in the USA. For example the enfant terrible paleontologist Robert Bakker who upsets the experts with his revolutionary theories. All those who are familiar with Bakker's appearance will notice the incredible likeness with LOST WORLD scientist Rober Burke. Hat, glasses, beard, down to the tips of his shoes. That of course is intended. Actor Thomas F. Duffy allegedly spent a day with Bakker at excavations to study him. He brings the scientific touch to the movie by calling the dinosaurs by their correct names and explaining when and where they were discovered. Those who don't agree with Bakker's theories may enjoy the fact that his movie alter ego falls victim to a lively T. rex - as Bakker defends the theory that dinosaurs were active, warm blooded animals.
THE LOST WORLD provides 129 minutes of exitement.  It is very funny until the end.  You only have to look for them. E. g. japanese tourists running from the T. rex who resembles Godzilla or the cameo by David Koepp, the author of the script. He suffers the same fate as Robert Burke. Feeding time for dinosaurs.
Rating: *** 1/2 out of ***

What Anthony Joshua whispered to himself during ring-walk before Ruiz Jr fight
Anthony Joshua muttered some final words of motivation to himself during his ring-walk to face Andy Ruiz Jr last June.
Ruiz Jr would inflict a shocking defeat on Joshua at Madison Square Garden, stripping the Brit of his three world titles with a seventh-round knockout.
The likes of Tyson Fury pointed to Joshua’s demeanor during the ring-walk as an indicator the defending champion wasn’t in the right frame of mind.
With his rematch with Ruiz Jr fast approaching, behind-the-scenes footage has been released of the first fight in New York.
Cameras are following AJ through MSG as he prepares to enter the arena and he can be heard whispering some final words of encouragement.
‘Base, head movement and throwing calmly,’ Joshua says to himself around the 15:15 mark, flanked by security and his promoter Eddie Hearn.

In the wake of the loss, Joshua admitted he was not as ‘switched on’ as he should have been when he made his ring-walk.
‘I need to start taking this approach to my fights where I’m a bit more lively,’ he said on Eddie Hearn’s BBC podcast.
‘I know I’m capable of it,’ he added. ‘There is too much at stake.
‘If I go in there where I’m switched on, a time like the Ruiz fight where I am so relaxed, that might be the difference.’
Joshua targets revenge over Ruiz Jr on 7 December after branding the Mexican’s win over him the result of a ‘lucky punch sent by the gods.’
Ruiz Jr will again be the underdog for the fight as he defends the WBO, WBA (Super) and IBF titles against Joshua in Saudi Arabia.
