Once you have mastered the terminology and symbology the actual mathematics for the models and approaches used at the level which is useful to practicing analytical chemists is really very straightforward indeed.
I've just been greatly assisted by a Thirteenth Century mathematician from Pisa. But more on that in a moment.
I presume most of you working in the pharmaceutical industry will, by now, have seen the updated Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Guidance for Industry Analytical Procedures and Methods Validation for Drugs and Biologics
This replaces the Draught Guidance of 1987 (updated in 2000) which remained for its whole operational lifetime a draught document and was never finalized (!) Let's hope that this one makes it onto the statute – so to speak.
While there are several changes from the 2000 document, section VII. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND MODELS, is among the most significant. The text describes the use of statistical analysis of validation data to evaluate the method and validation characteristics against pre-defined criteria. It also describes the use of multi-variate models in analytical methods and the testing of these models using an appropriate number of samples and deliberately varied parameters. Those of you with any sense of statistical analysis will realize this is more than cursory nod to the use of so-called "Quality by Design" statistical approaches.
This, in a roundabout way, brings me to my point. You either like statistics (and statistical analysis) and get it, or you struggle with it. I'm pleased to say that I've always "got it" and actually enjoy statistical analysis and modelling very much. Once you have mastered the terminology and symbology the actual mathematics for the models and approaches used at the level which is useful to practicing analytical chemists is really very straightforward indeed.
A quick example. The following formula looks pretty daunting:
In fact it's the formula for calculating the standard deviation of a sample population (s) (only the standard deviation of a whole population is called σ, by the way), which can be done very simply on a scientific calculator or using Microsoft Excel ™. You can of course work it out long hand (using the calculator for the simple mathematical operations) - like for the following example data which represents six replicate injections of a standard used to measure autosampler reproducibility;
Sum of all values / 6
(I checked the value in Excel and it gives the same answer!)
If you work in analytical science and are in any way involved with method validation and robustness testing or analytical method optimization, you will be using statistical approaches and, since the introduction of the new FDA Method Validation guidance mentioned above, the use of statistics will only be increasing in the future.
However, even if you "don't get it" or "aren't a fan" or simply haven't tried any of the more in-depth approaches, you are missing out on a wonderful world that can help you enormously, even at the level which is possible with common tools such as Microsoft Excel ™.
As well as the usual statistical descriptors which we commonly use (mean, standard deviation, relative standard deviation, co-efficient of variation) there is a world of useful tools, which you really don't need to have a "statistics" department to make use of, and which can be easily done in Microsoft Excel ™.
Of course we have the usual methods of linear regression to test trueness of fit of a calibration function (most of us use the Product-Moment correlation co-efficient (r) to measure this), which should always be accompanied by an estimation of the error (standard deviation) in the slope and intercept of the fitted line using residuals, in order that we can give state the likely error associated with any value interpolated from the fitted curve. The t-test (for comparing mean values) can be used to test for systemic error in a chromatographic method (is the mean of our analytical results significantly different from the level at which the sample was spiked?) or to compare two means (are the results between two analysts validating a chromatographic method significantly different?).
A paired t-test can tell us if the results of our new improved separation (after transfer to a short, narrow i.d. GC column at higher carrier gas linear velocity for example), gives statistically significantly different results from the original method, or is it, as we hope, just significantly faster. As well as testing all of the results above to see if the results are different, we can use an F-test to see if the methods differ in precision by testing the standard deviations of the results. We can use the Grubbs or Dixons tests to identify outliers in our data, and we can use simple analysis of variance (ANOVA) to measure within day and between day precision during method validation. All of these tests can be achieved using the basic statistical functions within Microsoft Excel ™.
If one wishes to utilize some of the most useful aspects of statistical experimental design and optimization, then one would need to use a simple statistical tool such as Minitab ™. Many of you reading this will think I've strayed into the land of the statistician – but not so. This program is very easy to use, and with only a rudimentary understanding of the principles, can help us to improve our analytical practice enormously.
For example, it is very straightforward to plan, implement, and analyse Fractional Factorial designs which allow us to investigate the dominant variables within a method and help to control them more effectively. We can use the same methods for identifying interactions between variables in our methods and control or eliminate them. It is very easy to plan a fractional factorial design such as the Plackett-Burman, in order to significantly reduce the number of experiments required to validate an analytical method for Robustness. We can also use full factorial methods to optimise an analytical method in significantly fewer experiments using the tools available within Minitab™. Oh – and for those you who would rather leave all of this math to your "statistics department" – two things. First – what if you aren't lucky enough to have a statistics depertment? Second – the statisticians will come to ask you which variables you would like to test and what levels (ranges) you would like to test them over, and whether there is likely to be any interaction between variables. So you can't just wash your hands and say it's "not your thing," as only someone with good analytical experience and a knowledge of the method under investigation can answer these questions meaningfully.
That brings me back to my Thirteenth Century mathematician – Fibonacci. I wanted to optimize the pH of a separation to achieve the best resolution between a critical pair of analytes whose logD values differed. I had no idea what the logD values were however, so the actual range for the experiments was 8 pH units (pH2 – pH10, the working range for good stability of the silica support within the HPLC column) and I wanted to specify the pH to within 0.2 pH units, as I know the separation is sensitive to pH changes and therefore wanted to ensure the correct robustness. If I make sequential measurements to locate the optimum pH based on the previous two results, I can calculate the number of experiments required using the formula;
I didn't fancy doing 79 experiments! So I turned to an old friend – The Fibonacci series (shown below), which can be used to significantly reduce the number of required experiments in an optimisation such as this, and in which each number represents the sum of the previous two.
In order to achieve a 40 fold reduction in range for our optimum pH (8/0.2), then I take the first Fibonacci number above 40 (F10,55), and the subscript tells me I will need 10 experiments. Further, the series tells me how to carry out the experiments. I take F10 and divide it into the number TWO BELOW in the series (F8) and the resulting number gives me the INTERVAL for my first experiments.
(the number 8 here represents the original pH range)
Therefore my first experiments are at pH 2+3.1 and pH10 – 3.1 or pH5.1 and pH6.9 respectively.
Experiment B produces the highest response and therefore the maximum must be between A and 10. A new measurement (C) is made so that A – C is the same distance as B – 10 (i.e. 8.2) and a measurement (D) is made such that the A – D and B-C distances are equal (B – C is 1.3) therefore D is at 6.4.
Further measurements are made until the distance between the maxima of two subsequent measurements <0.2 pH units. In this case we found a suitable optimum with exactly 10 experiments.
Of course – using predictive modeling software (several are available for chromatographers), I may have been able to achieve this in much fewer experiments (intuitively I think six experiments would have been enough), and it is possible to optimize several variables simultaneously. However 10 experiments for this simple univariate optimization is certainly better than 79!
So – there endeth the lesson on why you should grow to love statistics. These approaches and methods can help us to more accurately specify our results, give estimations of error, plan experiments, validate methods, and optimize our separations. We simply can't do first rate analytical work without the use of statistics and statistical models, and if this piece has served to stir your interest, I cannot recommend the following text by James and Jane Miller highly enough – enjoy!

Stressing the lyricalas has often been pointed out, the Chinese poet refrains from being exhaustive, marking instead the heights of his ecstasies and inspiration or the depths of sorrow and sympathy. It is the answer I gave to my patient Dan: Until the Guanxu Reforms ofthe notorious eight-legged essay, a rigid traditional format, was the mainstay of the exam papers.
Any thought that the spoken language of the Chou had not significantly changed by the time of the T'ang is ruled out by the comparative evidence of every language with an attested history of such length.
Perhaps no literary figure was more affected by his experiences in the Imperial examination system than Pu Songling, the Qing period author of the collection of tales known as Liao Zhai. And — and this is the part of this post I think will be controversial. So I asked the obvious question: Mythmaking consequently became a constant, living process in China.
Shang dynasty material is limited. Yes, it is interspersed with poisonous beliefs about women being terrible, but if you have more than a quarter or so of a soul, it is pretty easy to filter those out and concentrate on the good ones. He was so apprehensive that he went to the extent of having all weapons and other metals not under the use and operation of his army melted and destroyed.
Historical personages were also commonly taken into the pantheon, for Chinese popular imagination has been quick to endow the biography of a beloved hero with legendary and eventually mythological traits.
It started with several spattering of walls between the Warring States meant to fortify each of their defences. A poem of this kind consists of eight lines of five or seven syllables—each line set down in accordance with strict tonal patterns—calling for parallel structure in the middle, or second and third, couplets.
By concentrating intellectual activity on the Confucian Classics, the system limited the possibilities for progress. He draws amazing comics and he runs one of the most popular, most intellectual, and longest-standing feminist blogs on the Internet.
The Shijing has a few narrative poems celebrating heroic deeds of the royal ancestors, but these are rearranged in cycles and only faintly approximate the national epics of other peoples.
My friend is lodging high in the Eastern Range, Dearly loving the beauty of valleys and hills. Comparison of Chinese and Korean Drawings Korean Komungo possesses significant similarities and differences to the Chinese Qin zither music instrument in terms of 1 usage and 2 the characters playing the musical piece.
And basic human decency. Between the Tang period and the late Qingthe civil service examinations dropped out of use for short periods and underwent occasional reform.
One of his best-loved poems is the following gushi, translated by Arthur Waley; it is one of 12 he wrote at different times after he had been drinking. Origins of the Qin remains a mystery since most resources describing their characteristics and usage are limited to being a type of zither.
It was wrong of me to say I hate poor minorities. There is a lot of good discussion about how to get these things.
The great unifying theme of the curated profiles is indignation. He only got one comment saying he was privileged and entitled which he dismisses as hopefully a troll. Indeed, I have heard people say that Classical Latin could never have been a spoken language, because it is too difficult.
It may be only slightly correlated, uncorrelated, or even anti-correlated in different situations.
The actual body of Qin is made from two boards about cm in height and 20 cm in length, which are fused together to form a sound box present along the entire length of the board. In Chinese Qin illustrations, the paintings are oriented to the nature and purpose of the instrument, specifically 1 philosophy and 2 nobility.
Here is a list of resources that might be able to help you. Much the same thing happened in Greek. Not for my sake, because after many years I mysteriously and unexpectedly found a wonderful girlfriend whom I love very much. Despite the many his many contributions to the development of the empire, the emperor was rather despotic.
So I think the better parts of feminism and the better parts of the manosphere could unite around something like this, against the evil fringes of both movements. Sanctioned by official requirement for the competitive examinations and dignified by traditional respect for the cultural accomplishments of past ages, this medium became the linguistic tool of practically all Chinese prose writers.
There are a lot of statistics backing up the point, but the statistics only corroborate the obvious intuitive insight that this seems unfair. The worst corners of the manosphere contain more than enough opining on how ugly women, weird women, masculine women, et cetera deserve to be unhappy.
Compared with virgins, men with more sexual experience are likely to drink more alcohol, attend church less, and have a criminal history.
A Time-line for the History of Mathematics (Many of the early dates are approximates) This work is under constant revision, so come back later. Please report any errors to me at [email protected] While I generally agree with your point, I would like to point out a few parts of your quote from feministe: "A shy, but decent and caring man is quite likely to complain that he doesn't get as much attention from women as he'd like.
The guqin ([kùtɕʰǐn] (); Chinese: 古琴) is a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument of the zither family. It has been played since ancient times, and has traditionally been favoured by scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement, as highlighted by the quote "a gentleman does not part with his qin or se without good reason," as well as being.
This is an article taken from our China in Focus magazine () written by Justin Crozier. Justin Crozier examines how China's Imperial examination system and its modern remnant - the Eight Legged Essay and the Gao Kao - are unique attempts in world history to aim for a government of wisdom.
The Terracotta Army Essay. Posted on August 19th, which stresses the supremacy of Qin Dynasty that ruled in China in that time. On the other hand, the Terracotta Army shows the great achievements of Chinese art because creators of the army were definitely great artists whose genius still impresses modern scientists and ordinary people.
Qin playing has traditionally been elevated to a high spiritual and intellectual level. Writers of the Han dynasty ( B.C. – A.D.) claimed that playing the qin helped to cultivate character, understand morality, supplicate gods and demons, enhance life, and enrich learning, beliefs that are still held today.Qin in art essay

Former FBI agent George Russell Wackenhut turned a small, South Florida detective agency into a global leader in security.
In 1954, Wackenhut co-founded a private investigation firm in Coral Gables, Fla., with three FBI agents. Four years later, he bought out his partners, renamed the company after himself and expanded into the security guard field. Today, Wackenhut Corp. is a multibillion-dollar company, providing uniformed officers and investigative services to business and government agencies in 54 countries.
In the 1960s, Wackenhut was appointed by Florida Gov. Claude R. Kirk Jr. to conduct a private "war on crime." He won security contracts for the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral and the Atomic Energy Commission's test site in Nevada. Wackenhut dressed his guards like soldiers, and even recruited former members of the C.I.A., the F.B.I. and the military to join the company's management and board of directors.
Wackenhut began offering its services to the corrections sector in 1984. One of the first private security firms hired by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to manage penitentiaries and detention centers, Wackenhut later received federal contracts from the U.S. Marshals Service and the Department of Homeland Security.
Although the corrections branch of Wackenhut was financially successful, critics claimed the company's guards abused inmates in Florida, Texas and Louisiana. In 1999, Wackenhut lost a $12 million contract to run a Texas jail when several guards were indicted for having sex with female inmates. The company also came under fire in the early 1990s when a Congressional inquiry determined that a Wackenhut executive had spied on an environmental whistle-blower and stolen documents from his home. Wackenhut sold the company in 2002 to the Danish company Group 4 Falck for $570 million.
A Philadelphia native, Wackenhut earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Hawaii and a master's degree in education from Johns Hopkins University. He served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during World War II and actually saw the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. As an FBI agent in Atlanta and Indianapolis, Wackenhut handled counterfeit money and bad-check cases and tracked down Army deserters.
Wackenhut died on Dec. 31 of heart failure. He was 85.

He earned the loyalty of professional guard-watchman leader-MURRAY LEVINE

This was a man ! While a law student ot the Univ. of Miami I worked for Mr. Wackenhut as a part time investigator and on occasion, in uniformed promotional activites.
He was always the gentleman, generous and thoughtful toward his employees and seemed to know all of their names on sight. When I heard of his death a few years ago I remembered some of the really interesting assignments and experiences being in his emply had brought to me.From this association I benefitted greatly in the years that were to follow my leaving 3280 Ponce de Leon Ave. Coral gables, Fl for other settings — but I never forgot the man and what my connections with him had meant to me.
Nice whitewash. Wackenhut Corp. is a painfully-obvious front company for the most prominent terrorist organization in the world, the C.I.A.
Rick D.
I worked 10 years at Wackenhut and had the honor of knowing George. The humility and dedication to his company and employees had always made a tremendous impression upon me.
I consider myself a better man for having known him and will never forget as a low level manager the day he bought me a beer and gave me his life's story. George would always stop when seeing one of his guards, shake his hand and thank him for his sevice, in and outside the US. A true model for modern CEO's…
Heh, Whitewash huh? Gee I've worked for Wackenhut for 4 years now, didn't know I was a CIA agent….Sweet lol. when do I get the fancy gadgets? But seriously though, how long have you been a member of SEIU?

I thought George was a nice person, as was his Daughter and Son.
I had worked for TWC for about seven years and during that time I met most of his family. They were Good people. I just now read that he had passed on.I think Wackenhut Corp did some great things for the Security industry. But some very bad things which were done by their employee's. I would like to wish all the best for George's Family.
Andrew M.
I've been working for Wackenhut for a year and a half and wish I never started. I don't doubt the George was a good man, and I will never speak ill of the dead, but the company (at least in NJ) runs ass backwards. Never praise anyone, always chastise people. Hire the dumbest of the dumb, and put them in critical positions. It's ridiculous and I can't wait to leave!!!!
I don't think this qualifies as a "tribute" but it needs to be said.
I didn't know Mr. Wackenhut personally, but his reputation and that of his firm precedes him – and I don't mean that in a complimentary fashion. His corporate operations were rife with incompetency, corruption, and criminal activity.
I know that a person cannot be held totally responsible for all that is done by his employees, but there were so many problems with Wackenhut over so long a period (as even a cursory glance at their history in FL, TX, NM, LA and elsewhere will show) that it demonstrates a pattern of corporate connivance and malfeasance at the very least – and since management should theoretically set the tone, this does not speak well for either the late Mr. Wackenhut or his staff.
Their operations and people were involved in a host of problems ranging from incompetence and "gray area" dealings to outright criminal actions up to and including felonies and even murder. (i.e.; the sleeping guards at the Peach Bottom Nuclear Generating Station, which necessitated a video by a whistleblower before anything was done; the illegal spying on Exxon whistleblower Chuck Hamel by Wackenhut who was personally involved in the operation; the rapes and abuses at their "prisons," and the murder of young Janet Chandler, to name but a few of many.)
Unlike the loving tributes above, most of what I knew about Mr. Wackenhut and his firm was from a professional standpoint, first as a manager in other security firms, and then working in close conjunction with one of their laughable "rent-a-jails" in a major metropolitan area. There were regular escapes, errors, and the like which made them the laughingstock of the area.
As one of the employees above, Andrew M. put it; "Hire the dumbest of the dumb, and put them in critical positions."
I would add to that accurate assessment that Wackenhut (and most private "security" firms) usually hired the dregs of the city at minimum wage (then under $3 /hr.) or a bit above, with no benefits or health care, while billing the client at rates starting at $35 / hr. (this was in 1979). No wonder SEIU doesn't like them!
Some of these people actually had criminal records, and others weren't even citizens (though some had phony green cards).
They were often unable to perform the most basic functions (such as tying their own shoelaces without detailed directions) or to do their assigned tasks – one of our field LTs caught one man sleeping on the job – complete with blanket, TV, and other amenities! (This was not uncommon – just one of the more egregious examples.)
To be fair, this was not limited to Wackenhut. I found this was the norm throughout most of the industry when I was in it – one reason I rose rapidly was that I could read, write, and speak English, and had good communications skills and rapport with the clients – as well as firearms, mace, and baton cards.)
In fact, after working in the security field for several years before leaving it for a more rewarding field, I can say that there are only a few firms that treat their employees reasonably well, look for a better caliber of employee and pay them commensurately, and really give a damn about anything other than the "bottom line" – let alone their client's security interests. I have seen companies whose owners and managers knowingly engaged in every form of malfeasance up to and including serious criminal actions .
(Again, to be fair, having spent about 12 years working in close proximity with regular sworn LE personnel of various agencies, I can say with a fair degree of certitude that they are often not much better.)
I can't speak to their alleged CIA connections (although I have connections in that agency who might be able to inform me, if it is not classified), but certainly Mr. Wackenhut had a number of former CIA execs on the board, most notably Kelley, Inman, and Carlucci.
In conclusion, I would say that the field in general often tends to attract anal-retentive control freaks with serious psychological issues (the J. Edgar Hoover types, which Mr. Wackenhut appears to have emulated), and that while there are always a certain number of good men and women out there trying to do an honest job of "Serve and Protect" there are others who are as bad as or worse than the criminals they pursue and incarcerate.
A person or firm desiring good private "security" had best look long and hard, and exercise due diligence – and then keep an eye on them! As the Roman satirist Juvenal famously wrote; "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" – "Who will guard the guards?"
Who, indeed?
Its to bad for George, but i am a ex employee of Wackenhut at Nasa and i think it was the Worse Security company that i ever worked for, if you not in the good old boy club you dont work.

As a young police officer in the mid 70's working for the City of Coral Gables I used to patrol the south end of the Gables where the Wackenhut Castle was located. Whenever the alarm system went off or some suspicious person would be seen outside the home we would respond and many times George himself would let us into the house. He was a wonderful caring man with a fantastic personality. I would stay in his kitchen for an hour just talking shop.
His yacht "Top Secret" was rigged right in the back of the house and the Gables Marine Patrol and the Wackenhut Gables Estates Marine Patrol would always keep an eye on the big ship and the back of the house. He was proud of his company and the services he provided; I always though highly of the Wackenhut organization.
Move the clock forward 30 plus years, and as I decided to come out of retirement I decided to apply for a job with the Wackenhut organization. Hired as a CPO (Custom Protection Officer) in Central Florida I was incredibly disappointed to see a totally disjointed organization with no real leadership. Their only goal is to sell contracts and fill them with whatever they can scrape off the street. No Supervision, no leadership, no work ethic and no accountability. I could not believe the "Road Captains" in filthy ill fitting uniforms. The CPO's on the street with their shabby, home laundered uniform look deplorable. A far cry from the original CPO concept put together by Murray Levine (the godfather) of Wackenhut operational fame. His son is now President of Wackenhut, but his father he is not!
The company is disgraced from Miami to L.A. with millions of dollars in contracts lost and a reputation that puts this once proud company at the bottom of the pile.
I don't think George ran it this way 30-40 years ago when I got to sit in his kitchen, and I don't think he would approve of how they are running it now. The big G4S giant owns them now. They say bigger is not always better, and I guess it holds true in this case.
A great man and what used to be a great company……gone forever!

He was a dangerous McCarthyite, who boasted in 1965 that he kept files on 2.5 million American "dissidents," which at the time was 1 in 46 American adults. So yeah, if you think the HUAC was a high point in American history, he was a great man. RIP.
As a former Regional Investigations Director for TWC, I do remember George fondly. He was always quite a gentleman, who took an interest in his staff. Under his leadership back in the early 70s, the company did well, but its successes were measured by each area office's reputation. Each region was only as good as it' manager! I was fortunate and had an outstanding manager who saw potential in me. I learned much about investigations management and after seven years with TWC, I ventured out on my own. With many successful years and lots more experience now, I look back at my beginnings with TWC and I am very thankful. It was an incredible opportunity for a female, as it was still considered a "man's world" where women were not allowed. They let me in and I had wonderful mentors. Without their leadership and guidance, I would not be who I am today!
Janice C.
Better late than never. I was attempting to remember Mr. Wackenhut's first name. I was 10 or 11 when I had the opportunity to meet him and back then children did not call adults by first names. Anyhow, this was when the "Castle" was first being built in Gables Estates and my parents were looking to purchase the home across the street. Back then it wasn't a gated community but still only had one way in and out. We ended up living a block away. I was always amazed at his yacht and one day while I was sailing behind our home in the canal, I luffed up and admired it. He happened to be on it and recognized me as being one of the kids in the neighborhood. He was very cordial and asked if I would like a tour? You bet! I was ecstatic! Tho' my Father is a boat manufacturer, we were sailors. A 60′ Catamaran to prove it and I was always fascinated with "stink pots" as my Dad would call them. Anyway, Mr. Wackenhut was a fine man personally. I visited or said "Hi" and he'd wave. Here I was just a kid. Fine man that I have fond memories of. I hope he rests in peace.

Michael Jordan Never Fully Got Used to the Triangle Offense Despite Winning 6 Titles in It: 'That's How Difficult It Is, It's a Difficult System'
The Chicago Bulls made a bold move in the summer of 1989 when they fired head coach Doug Collins and replaced him with Phil Jackson. Superstar Michael Jordan was surprised since Collins led the Bulls to the 1989 Eastern Conference Finals.
With the help of Tex Winter, Jackson installed the triangle offense in Chicago and guided the franchise to six championships. However, although he had tremendous success playing in the triangle offense, Jordan never fully got used to it.
Michael Jordan on triangle offense: It's a difficult system
After winning his fifth championship in 1997 over the Utah Jazz, Jordan admitted to SLAM Magazine that he was still getting used to the triangle offense despite completing his seventh season in it.
"I'm still not used to that," Jordan said while laughing. "That's how difficult it is. It's a difficult system."
The triangle offense is set so that there's a key pass that creates motion, and then there are 33 different types of options that come out of that single pass. According to Jackson, players could do spontaneous and creative things using their strengths.
Since the triangle took the ball out of his hands, Jordan wasn't a fan of Jackson's offense when the Zen Master became the coach in 1989-90. However, after MJ and Jackson had a one-on-one conversation, things changed for His Airness.
Michael Jordan won seven scoring titles in triangle offense
Jordan won 10 scoring titles with the Bulls, and seven of those came in the triangle offense. The five-time MVP averaged 30.8 points while shooting 50.1% from the field in 585 games under Jackson.
The Bulls three-peated twice thanks to Jordan, Jackson, and the triangle. They won their championships in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 1998, with Black Jesus winning all six Finals MVPs.
It's fascinating that Jordan was still learning facets about the triangle offense despite having so much success with it going into his final year with the Bulls in 1997-98. The All-Star shooting guard initially wasn't enthusiastic about Jackson replacing Collins and running the triangle, but he developed such a strong bond with the Montana native that he refused to play for another coach in Chicago.
MJ retired in 1998 since Phil Jackson stepped away
Bulls general manager Jerry Krause said the 1997-98 season would be Jackson's final year in Chicago, even if the team went 82-0 and won the title. After the Bulls defeated the Jazz in the '98 Finals for their sixth championship, Jackson stepped away from the game, and Jordan followed suit since he didn't want to play for a different coach.
Both Jordan and Jackson returned to the NBA, though. The former played for the Washington Wizards from 2001-02 to 2002-03, while the latter coached the Los Angeles Lakers for 11 seasons and won five more rings.
Jordan was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009. He's the NBA's all-time leader in points per game and player efficiency rating. Meanwhile, Jackson made the Hall of Fame as coach in 2007. He won 1,155 regular-season games and 11 championships with the Bulls and Lakers.

Setting the stage for its slate of Disney+ series for 2022, Marvel Studios released first looks for three of its upcoming shows onto the streamer: "Moon Knight" starring Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, "She-Hulk" starring Tatiana Maslany and Mark Ruffalo, and "Ms. Marvel" starring newcomer Iman Vellani. The studio also released an extended action sequence from its next Disney+ series, "Hawkeye," which is set to debut on the streamer on Nov. 24.
The first looks were included in a special preview of Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ shows, as part of the company's Disney+ Day celebrations meant to commemorate the second anniversary of the streamer's launch in 2019.
Here's what Marvel presented (via Variety):
"Moon Knight"
In "Moon Knight," Isaac plays Marc Spector, who in the comics has dissociative identity disorder and believes himself to be the human avatar of the Egyptian god Khonshu. In the teaser, he says he hears voices in his head and walks past a golden statue of Khonshu.
"I can't tell the difference between my waking life and dreams," Marc says with what sounds like a Northern English accent. Later on, a more gruff voice — likely Hawke — says, "The voice in your head, it devours you." Isaac dons a white, caped costume, ripped from the pages of Moon Knight comics, as he brutally punches a victim on the ground in a dark hallway, illuminated by flickering lights. In a very Batman-esque shot, he jumps across buildings, silhouetted by the glowing crescent moon.
In "She-Hulk," Maslany plays Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who (at least in the comics) inherits similar Hulk powers after she receives a blood transfusion from her green-skinned cousin Bruce Banner. Luckily for Walters, when she Hulks out, she maintains control of her personality and intelligence. In the teaser, Marvel fans can see a glimpse of her green skin and white-and-purple costume, accurate to the comic-book look.
Ruffalo pops up in his super-smart "Professor Hulk" persona from "Avengers: Endgame" to teach his cousin how to control her transformations. Curiously, in a post-credits scene in the Marvel Studios feature film "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," released this September, Ruffalo appears in human form as Banner, suggesting at least some of the events of "She-Hulk" pre-date the events of "Shang-Chi." In fact, Banner does appear in human form for what appears to be a cheeky commercial for Walters' legal services, in which she says, "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry," a line from the CBS TV series "Incredible Hulk" of the 1970s.
"Ms. Marvel"
In "Ms. Marvel," Iman Vellani plays Kamala Khan, a Muslim, Pakistani-American who idolizes Captain Marvel. In the preview, Kamala laments that "It's not really the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world" — as we see her infused with some kind of energy that, comics fans know, will give her the powers to, indeed, save the world.
The clip underscores that Kamala is the first Muslim superhero by cutting from a shot of people in a mosque in prayer to a shot of Kamala standing at a mirror wearing her Captain Marvel cosplay.
Disney's Stocks Tanking as Disney+ Streaming Subs Come Up Short
Animated Projects
THR is reporting that Disney also announced several new animated projects and confirmed others that had been rumored to be in development. Among the newly announced projects are X-Men '97, Spider-Man: Freshman Year and Marvel Zombies.
Spider-Man: Freshman Year is an animated show exploring Peter Parker on his way to becoming the MCU's Spider-Man. It's described as celebrating the early comic roots of the character. Jeff Trammel serves as head writer. Tom Holland first played Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War and was established to be a sophomore in Spider-Man: Homecoming, which occurred two months later, so it is likely this series takes place before Civil War.
X-Men '97, due in 2023, continues the story of the beloved 1990s animated X-Men series, which ran from 1992-97 and was praised for its sophisticated, serialized storytelling and has been cited as an inspiration by creators such as Loki director Kate Herron. Beau DeMayo, known for his work on The Witcher, is head writer. I wonder if there's any chance Wolverine will still be a born-again Christian in this series? There's new evidence this series is going to be the wokest of the newly announced animated projects.
Marvel Zombies, from director Bryan Andrews, re-imagines the Marvel Universe as a new generation of heroes fights the zombie plague. What If…? recently explored the concept of Marvel Zombies, which The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman tackled in the pages of the comics 15 years ago.
Additionally, Marvel renewed What If…? for season two, with Andrews directing and AC Bradley returning as head writer.
Any wonder that Disney's stocks have been tanking?
Clownfish TV has a good take on the X-Men announcement.

"COVID-19: Maybe Just Say NO?" This is the title from an article by Dr. McAnally on MedPage Today. In it, he discusses the good possibility that nitric oxide (NO) may be helpful in the respiratory distress associated with COVID-19.* He also believes that certain NO precursors should be tested for their potential role in prevention.
Nitric oxide is a molecule produced by your body and it's important for multiple aspects of maintaining an individual's health. Nitric Oxide's primary function is vasodilation, which is when it relaxes the inner muscles of the blood vessels, causing them to widen. This makes it crucial for those who are concerned with high blood pressure and can be a very beneficial to maintain optimal levels.
For those of you who use our product 120/Life likely already know that nitric oxide helps to relax (dilate) our blood vessels, which can both decrease our blood pressure and allow more oxygen into our bloodstream for delivery to our tissues and organs (including our lung tissue). If you're wondering how to increase nitric oxide, you can rest assured knowing that you can produce NO on your own. The body increases its production of nitric oxide is by eating certain foods that are high in healthy nitrate, like beets.
You need the nitrate and the precursors to make it happen.
One of the precursors for the production of NO is citrulline. Rather than a boring description of how it helps produce NO, let's just say that one of the best ways to get it naturally is through our diet. And one of the best ways to get it through our diet is by eating more watermelon! Now you know why watermelon is on the cover of our eBook about high blood pressure!
Another physician, Dr. Joel Friedman MD, PhD—who is a professor in the Dept. of Physiology and Biophysics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine—says that as we get older it's particularly important to do what we can to produce enough NO so that we can assist our bodies in fighting numerous conditions. He names many that we've discussed before, as well as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which can be a dangerous aspect of COVID-19. He suggests greatly increasing our intake of nitrate-loaded foods, such as beet juice, kale, swiss chard, spinach and celery. He also suggests curcumin/turmeric to help with NO production and to slow down an inflammatory response.
Here's to your health!
*This is not medical advice, but rather medical hypothesis based on previously established knowledge, as well as trials that are presently underway.

The common rule of asset allocation by age is that you should hold a percentage of stocks that is equal to 100 minus your age. So if you're 40, you should hold 60% of your portfolio in stocks. Since life expectancy is growing, changing that rule to 110 minus your age or 120 minus your age may be more appropriate.
The old adage about the best portfolio balance after growth is that you should keep stocks in your portfolio that are always worth 100 minus your age. Thus, a 30-year-old investor should have 70% of their portfolio in stocks.

The Witches. Triangular mouse bone ring.
The Witches. Triangular mouse bone ring.
As a girl, Roald Dahl ignited both my imagination, and my love for books. I'd always have a well worn copy of 'Matlida', 'The BFG' or 'The Witches' on me, devouring the stories, again and again.
This ring is an homage to this author, specifically for his book 'The Witches' in which the main character is turned into a mouse by formula 86. I've always loved this strange depiction of witches, and here it also acts as a talisman of sorts.
A triangular crystal was cast in sterling silver and retains all its lovely facets, acting as the gem of the piece, gripped in by three tiny mouse bones, acting as prongs. A flat back triangle adds the third element of this trinity, creating a wonderfully three dimensional ring with interesting, different textures. The entire ring is made from sterling silver and hand oxidized to achieve my signature shade of gloomy gray, and then brushed to reveal the silver tone belly beneath, creating a haunted look I associate with how olde Victorian mirrors appear foggy with time and memory.
-29mm at its widest
-Sits 8mm off of the finger
-solid sterling silver

(This quote from this article, give me a hint, in order to experiment with salinity in the medium of the Polycephalum). Dussutour make an experiment placing oatmeal at the other side of a gelatine substance made with either caffeine or quinine in order to obligate the Polycephalum to cross, she learned that after the organism get used to a certain substance, they will cross to the food in this case in the same kind of medium that was located in the first time. (the Physarum have "memory" channels). She made also an experiment testing salinity environments, was the specimen adapted himself to this environment, (also she tested with her team if this information could be communicated to other samples that were not "trained" to this kind of environment).

- This specimen is found globally in marine environments.
- Is found in very low quantities in almost all oceans of the world in temperate or subtropical water, lives as a symbiont in the light organ of certain fish and squid species. Grows at temperatures of 24°.
- The bioluminescence of A. fischeri is caused by transcription of the lux operon, which is induced through population-dependent quorum sensing. The population of this specimen needs to reach an optimal level to activate the lux operon and stimulate light production.

An iron-based glaze was developed to produce new colors, and artisans began to impress and incise highly detailed patterns on their wares. These pieces were reserved for members of the Japanese elite, from high-ranking military officials to wealthy farmers.
This rare heishi in excellent condition hails from the peak of Seto production during the Kamakura period in the 14th century. Like many Japanese ceramics, it borrows from Chinese symbolism for its design, which features chrysanthemums and plum blossoms. The piece is larger than many heishis of the period, and is, in fact, larger than any currently found in a U.S. museum collection.

What is Success to a Project Manager – Hicks
You have been appointed to manage a project and given a clearly defined scope, a healthy budget and a reasonable schedule. You also have a strong, hand-picked team with all of the expertise necessary to get the job done AND you deliver!!! On time, in budget everything the sponsor defined. A Miracle – maybe. A Rarity – certainly. But is this this project a success?? Maybe – and – Maybe not. I want to share with you a story of one of the projects I worked on early in my career that fit this scenario exactly and was deemed a success, for a time. But a little more then 2-years later was completely scrapped and abandoned.
How could this happen?? Successful management of the triple constraint is not the full definition of project success. The job is much more complex than that. They need to work in concert with Program and Portfolio Managers to understand the big-picture and not be afraid to recommend that projects be killed when they fall out of alignment with organizational strategy.

Essex Senior League
Venue: Burroughs Park
Attendance: TBC
Saturday 10th February 2018 3pm KO
2017-18 Season – Match 54
Great Wakering: Green & White Striped Shirts, White Shorts, White Socks
Takeley: Blue Shirts, Blue Shorts, Red Socks
Scott W Reporting (Twitter: @ScottMHC14)
On a very chilly, miserable afternoon at Burroughs Park, two of the division's top 5 took on each other as Great Wakering welcomed Takeley. Conditions were difficult from the outset and got increasingly squalid as the match went on. Wakering named Nathan Dewberry and Jay Nash in attack with Chris Bryan and Neil Richmond among the substitutes. Takeley were without Jason Todd and Will Green though commanding goalkeeper Ronnie Yates did start, with Carl Mullings leading the line and Mitchell Das & George Wappett on the flanks.
The hosts began the match the stronger of the two sides and nearly led in the first minute as full-back Jason Ring's centre was back-heeled towards goal by forward Nathan Dewberry though it lacked the power to beat Takeley goalkeeper Ronnie Yates. Takeley responded four minutes later as skipper Nick Barrett's 25-yard free-kick needed the intervention of home stopper Louis Hawes. Dewberry and strike partner Jay Nash had shots off-target for Wakering before Frank Oatham's wind-assisted lob needed Hawes to be alert to tip the ball over the crossbar.
As the half progressed, Takeley did unsetttle the Wakering defence more. Winger Mitchell Das sent a free-kick just the wrong side of the post just past the half-hour mark. The home defence, led by skipper Scott Pethers and Oliver Woodhouse needed to be strong to keep the game scoreless at the break.
Half-Time: Great Wakering Rovers 0 – 0 Takeley
After the interval, as the rain continued to come down, Takeley forward Carl Mullings nearly broke the deadlock two minutes in though his header was cleared off the line by a well-positioned Danny Hurford. Oatham had another drive minutes later well-gathered by Hawes as the wind just added an element of doubt perhaps into the player's minds.
Dewberry wasted a decent oppurtunity to open his account on the hour as he passed his shot wide of goal. Six minutes later, Dewberry was denied by the on-rushing Yates as the match increasingly became a real physical battle in tricky conditions. Takeley had two good chances in the midway point of the half, with Mullings heading over from Das' great right-wing delivery. Mullings then used his strength well to tee up Das who could only fire over the bar.
Takeley had showed pace and strength today, exemplified by the pace and skill of left-back Andre Humphrey and winger George Wappett who stood out for me today. Though unfortunately for the visitors, there was a late twist as the hosts were awarded a spot-kick four minutes from time, which substitute Neil Richmond duly converted into the left corner. On another day, this may well have been a draw though Marc Das' side will be cursing the chances they couldn't quite tuck away today in what was a game of fine margins.
Wakering's sixth successive league win sees them stay 3rd but gain ground on the top-two, following FC Romania's draw at Waltham Forest. Takeley drop to 6th spot, though have six matches in hand on 5th-placed Clapton.

Chemotherapy Plus Radiation Promising for Early-Stage Lung Cancer
According to a recent article published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, treatment with chemotherapy plus radiation therapy is promising in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are not able to have their cancer surgically removed.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US. Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 75-80% of all lung cancers. It is named for the type of cell within the lung from which the cancer originated.
Stages I-II NSCLC refers to cancer that has not spread from the lung and may be cured with surgery with or without chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Unfortunately, some patients with this disease are not considered candidates for surgery (unresectable), either due to the anatomical location of the cancer or the patient's overall health. Some patients also refuse treatment with surgery due to associated side effects and healing time.
Radiation therapy alone may improve survival in these patients compared to supportive care alone. Continuing research evaluates the potential of combining radiation with various chemotherapy regimens to improve survival in this group of patients.
Researchers from Yugoslavia recently conducted a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of radiation therapy plus the chemotherapy agents Paraplatin® (carboplatin) and Taxol® (paclitaxel) in the treatment of patients with stages I-II NSCLC. This trial included 56 patients; 72% refused surgery, 21% had other existing medical conditions, and 7% were deemed too old for surgery.
How Precision Medicine in Oncology Has Dramatically Changed the Way Cancer is Diagnosed and Treated
And What Patients Need to Know
Treatment for Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Cancer Connect - Treatment for Recurring Prostate Cancer
This treatment appeared promising, particularly for those without other existing medical conditions. The following results were recorded at a follow-up of approximately 20 months:
- 1-year survival of entire group was 82%; 5-year survival was 36%.
- 1-year survival of patients less than 60 years of age was 85%; 5-year survival was 42%.
- 1-year survival of patients older than 60 years of age was 78%; 5-year survival was 26%.
- 1-year survival of patients with other significant medical issues was 25%; none of these patients survived 5 years.
- 1-year survival of patients who refused surgery was 98%; 5-year survival was 50%.
The researchers concluded that chemotherapy plus radiation therapy may provide comparable results to surgery in patients with stages I-II NSCLC. The results were much greater in patients who refused surgery compared to those with other significant medical conditions. Patients with stages I-II NSCLC who are not eligible to undergo surgery, or do not wish to undergo surgery, may wish to speak with their physician regarding their individual risks and benefits of treatment with radiation plus chemotherapy.
