Global Wireless EV Charging (Aftermarket/Retrofit and OE Market) Market 2017-2025 - Market is Projected to Grow at a CAGR of 49.38%
02 Oct, 2017, 17:45 BST
DUBLIN, October 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
The "Wireless EV Charging Market by Application, Component, Market (Aftermarket/Retrofit and OE Market), Power Supply Range (3-<11 kW, 11-50 kW, and > 50 kW), Charging Type (Stationary and Dynamic), Vehicle Type, and Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
The wireless EV charging market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 49.38% from 2020 to 2025, to reach a market size of USD 7,094.8 Million by 2025.
The key factors driving the wireless EV charging market are increasing demand for electric vehicles, increasing infrastructure for fast chargers, and rising consumer demand for convenience features.
The public charging station is estimated to be the fastest growing application segment of the wireless EV charging market. As the sale of electric vehicles is increasing, there is a growing need for publicly accessible charging stations.
The power control unit is estimated to be the largest segment of the wireless EV charging market, by component. The market size of the power control unit is the largest as this component is mandatorily installed at public charging stations as well as home charging units along with the base charging pad. On the other hand, the market for vehicle charging pad is limited to the number of electric vehicles enabled with the wireless charging technology.
The >50 kW power supply range is estimated to be the fastest growing segment of the wireless EV charging market. The growth of this market can be attributed to the increase in demand for commercial electric vehicles and fast charging technology.
The Original Equipment Market (OEM) is estimated to be the fastest growing segment of the wireless EV charging market, by market type. Many OEMs are planning to launch vehicles with wireless charging system from 2018. Once this technology is launched in the mass market, the OE market penetration would increase significantly.
Battery electric vehicle (BEV) is estimated to be the largest segment of the wireless EV charging market, by volume. The penetration of BEVs is expected to rise in the coming years due to strict emission norms by the governments of various countries and increase in the distance traveled by electric vehicles.
Asia-Pacific is estimated to dominate the wireless EV charging market, by volume as well as value. The region comprises countries such as China and India, which have a huge demand for electric vehicles. The demand for wireless charging system is directly linked to the electric vehicle production and consumer demand in this region. Also, government policies and subsidies favoring the growth of electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) drive the market in this region.
A key factor restraining the growth of the wireless EV charging market is the high price of upgradation to wireless charging technology. The implementation of wireless charging technology in an electric vehicle will add to the cost of the vehicle. Therefore, this makes the wireless charging for electric vehicles more expensive. The high upgradation costs involved are restricting the adoption of the wireless charging system by OEMs.
The wireless EV charging market is dominated by a few global players. Some of the key market players are Qualcomm Inc. (U.S.), Evatran Group - Plugless (U.S.), Momentum Dynamics Corporation (U.S.), Continental AG (Germany), WiTricity Corporation (U.S.), and HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co. (Germany).

Listen to NFL Vegas sharps RJ Bell and Steve Fezzik join co-host Jonas Knox on 'Straight Outta Vegas' to preview the 4th ranked team on their 2020 win/total prediction rankings, the New Orleans Saints.
The Saints once again suffered through a tragically traumatic playoff exit last season, as the franchise has now stunningly watched three consecutive seasons end on the last play of a postseason game.
It seemed like an awfully unfortunate waste of another 13-win season that would ultimately turn out to be a one-and-done at the hands of playoff plebeian Kirk Cousins of all people.
With 41-year-old Drew Brees recently admitting that he's on 'borrowed time' when it comes to his mortality in the league, you have to figure this might be the final shot Brees has at winning a Super Bowl.
Brees is already set as a 'commentator-in-waiting' to join NBC's Sunday Night Football booth the moment he retires, and although he led the league in completion percentage in 2019, his yards per completion was his lowest since 2010, and the second lowest of his 14-career in New Orleans, as the team seemed adamant about no longer throwing the ball down the field.
Game manager Teddy Bridgewater went a perfect 5-0 filling in for Brees when he injured his thumb, while only averaging 153.8 passing yards per game in that same span.
The team's signing of Jameis Winston in the offseason fresh off leading the NFL in passing yards could be a sign that the team could potentially have an heir apparent to Brees, and at the very least as a stop gap if Brees calls it a career after this season.
In the offseason the Saints added the aforementioned Winston from the Bucs, running back Ty Montgomery from the Jets, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders from the 49ers, safety Malcolm Jenkins from the Eagles, and they drafted Michigan center Cesar Ruiz in the first round.
Their key losses included Bridgewater, Ted Ginn Jr., Larry Warford, AJ Klein, Eli Apple, and Vonn Bell.
The Saints' over/under for wins is 10.5, their odds to win the Super Bowl are 10/1, their odds to win the NFC are 5-1, their odds to win the NFC South are 5/7, and they're -350 to make the playoffs.

The topic I chose to research and present is cancer. The article that I used for my source is titled "Cancer" from the Times Health Guide in The New York Times. The article included the description of cancer, the causes of cancer, the symptoms of cancer, the tests/exams used for cancer, the treatments used for cancer and the types of cancers.
Also known as carcinoma, or a malignant tumor, Cancer occurs when there is an uncontrolled increase or progression of abnormal cells in one's body. Although the causes for many cancers remains unknown, some causes of cancer consist of benzene and other chemicals, drinking excess alcohol, obesity, excess exposure to the sun, viruses, and even genetics. Most cancer deaths are caused by lung cancer. The four most commonly known cancers in the United States are prostate cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer. Some other forms of cancer are brain cancer, cervical cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, leukemia, skin cancer among many others. The most commonly known symptoms of cancer are chills, fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, weight loss and night sweats. The most used exams or tests are chest X-Ray, CT scan, MRI scan, complete blood count and bone marrow biopsy. Treatments for cancer depend on the type of cancer. For cancer that stays in one spot the treatment used is surgery, to remove the cancer. For lymphoma, chemo and radiation are used. The most used treatments are chemo therapy and radiation.
Typically, regardless of treatment, cancer is a terrible disease that most of the time results in death. However, there are many ways that one can reduce the risk of getting a cancerous tumor including eating a healthy diet, limiting alcohol, exercising regularly and reducing sun exposure. There are also cancer screenings such as mammograms, colonoscopies and breast exams which could help in identifying and treating cancerous cells, if caught in their early stages.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Affirmations and Invocations
After the final no there comes a yes,
And on that yes the future world depends.
Wallace Stevens
The saying of the great Yes! is the root of all life prayers, and so we begin this book with the prayers of Yes! with affirmation and blessing for the furtherance of life. These prayers represent the most basic and powerful gesture of a heart that has opened to communion with the living world.
The voices in this chapter announce their presence without fear, and they do so by speaking of what they love (affirmations) and by calling this forth from the world (invocations). In these complex and competitive times we may find ourselves feeling that what we say doesn't matter and that what we do has little effect. But as the Czech president and playwright Václav Havel reminds us, "Whether all is really lost or not depends entirely on whether or not I am lost." Marianne Williamson carries the thought further:
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
It seems a simple thing, to affirm what we believe. The act of speaking our truth authentically and unsentimentally is a powerful one. It is a gesture of healingfor both ourselves and the world we love. Similarly, when we invoke a wish or prayer, what is happening but a process of healing? Even when we wish each other "good day," or, upon parting, catch each other's eyes for a moment and say, "take care," these invocations are our everyday attempt to offer healing to the recipient.
The word healing comes from the root "to make whole" to resolve the inner contradictions within a being and thereby to release its full potential. According to psychologist C.G. Jung, wholeness always includes the sacred dimension, the numinous, and it is at the heart of what it means to be healed. "The approach to the numinous," he wrote, "is the real therapy." Consequently as we affirm and invoke the sacred in our world, we are participating in a great healing.
Many of the prayers in this section of Life Prayers are ideally suited to reading aloud with a community or group gathered for a specific purpose. They have the power to align our spirits, inspire us with the deep meaning of our common work, and encourage us to "keep on keeping on" when the going gets rough. Sharing a prayer together in this way touches something in us that other contact and communication rarely does it allows us to feel our common heart and our common home, and to invoke its wholeness.
May the Holy Spirit guide us as we seek to heal and to nurture the earth and all of its creatures, to live in the midst of creation, and to love one another as brothers and sisters with all life.

The primary toxicity of trastuzumab therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–overexpressing (HER2-positive) breast cancer is dose-independent cardiac dysfunction. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and β-blockers are recommended first-line agents for heart failure. We hypothesized that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and β-blockers could prevent trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity.
Patients and Methods
In this double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer were randomly assigned to receive treatment with perindopril, bisoprolol, or placebo (1:1:1) for the duration of trastuzumab adjuvant therapy. Patients underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and post–cycle 17 for the determination of left ventricular volumes and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Cardiotoxicity was evaluated as the change in indexed left ventricular end diastolic volume and LVEF.
A total of 33 patients received perindopril, 31 received bisoprolol, and 30 received placebo. Baseline demographic, cancer, and cardiovascular profiles were similar between groups. Study drugs were well tolerated with no serious adverse events. After 17 cycles of trastuzumab, indexed left ventricular end diastolic volume increased in patients treated with perindopril (+7 ± 14 mL/m2), bisoprolol (+8 mL ± 9 mL/m2), and placebo (+4 ± 11 mL/m2; P = .36). In secondary analyses, trastuzumab-mediated decline in LVEF was attenuated in bisoprolol-treated patients (−1 ± 5%) relative to the perindopril (−3 ± 4%) and placebo (−5 ± 5%) groups (P=.001). Perindopril and bisoprolol use were independent predictors of maintained LVEF on multivariable analysis.
Perindopril and bisoprolol were well tolerated in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer who received trastuzumab and protected against cancer therapy–related declines in LVEF; however, trastuzumab-mediated left ventricular remodeling -- the primary outcome -- was not prevented by these pharmacotherapies.

This school was co-founded by Ishanesu Sextus and Tapiwa Huggins Gusha who happened to be brothers. As biblical scholars from the University and ordained minsters in the Anglican Diocese of Harare we have been contemplating on how we can influence change in the society outside church structures. We have been passionate on the areas of ecology, interfaith dialogue, peace-building, and gender. It was this vision that gave birth to the establishment of this peace school. The formation of the school was a long process that was guided by study, international engagements, prayer, and research.
The journey started in 2011 when Rev Fr Gusha was invited to Jos Nigeria at an International Youth Conference on Interfaith Dialogue and Non-violent Communication. Appreciation goes to Dr Immanuel Ivogba the director of the school who shared notes with me on how to establish a similar school. At the conference I was given the opportunity of presenting a paper on religious fundamentalism as a barrier to interfaith dialogue. It was from that time that the desire to establish the school grew. The following year I found myself in Yogyakarta and Bali Indonesia meeting with people from all over the world of all faith discussion on the theme of negotiating a space for diversity. This International Summer was organised and sponsored by International Summer School on Religion and Public Life (ISSRPL) now rebranded as CEDAR-Communities Engaging in Difference and Religion. The fire for making this school a reality was ignited and plans to host a similar school under the banner of CEDAR were made. I was made one of the organisers of the school and this has given me enough experience to establish our own school. If all things go accordingly the school will be established in 2016 the same year where our own school will be expected to be inaugurated. The following year Rev Fr Tapiwa Gusha found himself in Bulgaria for the Balkan Summer School on Religion and Public Life and affiliate school for CEDAR. Thanks to Professor Adam Seligman the director of CEDAR.
The final shaping of establishing the school took place in India when both of us were attending a summer school on teaching for peace for teachers. It was a summer school based on the Indian Jainism principle of Ahimsa. The long wait in Mumbai to connect an Ethiopian airways flight to Harare via Addis Ababa necessitated a well thought discussion on the practicalities of establishing the school. Thanks to Dr Shugan Jain the founder and director of International Summer School for Jain Studies who invited us to this school and shared with us on how to start a trustee. This school will focus on the issues that affect peace-building which are; gender, interfaith dialogue, ethnicity, and ecology. The thrust of the school is transforming the society by bringing international scholars that with the local scholars and non-scholars to deliberate things that affect the society in line with our vision and mission. It is from such school that an action of plan is set and sold to stakeholders. The approach of the school is smell it, feel it, touch, and see it. The school will involve practically touring sites of interest thereby providing practical knowledge to participants. As the school we are a non-profit making organisation meaning that we will try to establish potential partners and funders of our programmes.

Flash AnimationWritten by admin
When you navigate to a web page, and all of a sudden it springs to life in vibrant, animated color and sound, chances are that the web designer has incorporated some Flash content into the site. Flash is a technology created by the company Macromedia, and it is used primarily to create animation for web games, DVDs, and independent applications. Flash has the lucky distinction of being both incredibly easy-to-use and tremendously versatile.
At its most basic core, Flash works like any video editing software. Pictures and objects are placed in a frame on a timeline. In later frames, the objects are changed or moved. Then, a user can create transitions between the frames, making an object appear to smoothly change location or morph into a different shape.
The Terminology of Flash
It is necessary to learn some terminology in order to get the most out of Flash and to fully understand its concepts. First of all, Flash content, in its most compact and contained form, is called a Flash movie. Flash movies are incorporated into web pages, DVD menus, and just about anywhere interactive animation is wanted.
The frames in which objects are anchored are called keyframes. If you know where you want a particular object to "begin" and "end," you can place it in a given frame of time and designate it as a keyframe. Then, you can choose how you want the object to behave between these keyframes. The motion or morphing that transpires between frames is called a tween.
Fortunately for the novice, there is a wealth of resources available to learn these new concepts and terms. Flash's onboard help is only the beginning of the excellent documentation on the application. Macromedia's website (a one-click link from the application itself) is chock-full of forums, tutorials, and other assistance. Of course, third-party books and CD-ROMs (often containing Flash tutorials written in Flash) can aid a budding designer even further.
Using Flash Player
Flash is obviously useful and easy to program. But how can an end user view these detailed and well-crafted animations? Most browsers don't natively support the animation style, and if left to their own devices, they would show a question mark or empty box where a flashy Flash animation was supposed to be.
The answer lies with the Flash player. The Flash player is a small program or plug-in that works in conjunction with most web browsers or as a standalone application. It allows the Flash movie and video files to be displayed on a computer, regardless of operating system. The Flash plug-in functions from within a browser, so much of the time you may not realize it is even running.
The Flash player is a free download from the Macromedia website. A user can download and install it quickly and easily, and it will work on both Mac and PC platforms. If you plan to incorporate Flash content on your website, it may behoove you to include a small link to the Macromedia website, instructing users how to best take advantage of the Flash features. It is even possible to write a small action script that can determine whether or not your user has the Flash player, and if so, which version is installed.

*1) Today! Thursday, May 29
Protest the Media Monopoly at Clear Channel Radio Stations
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is poised to approve, on Monday, the most dramatic changes to media ownership regulations in decades. These changes will allow huge media conglomerates to own even more television, radio, and newspapers in the same city and endanger diversity in our papers and our airwaves.
Among the many corporate beneficiaries of the proposed deregulation, Clear Channel Communications stands to be one of the biggest winners and is a prime example for what is wrong with massive deregulation. Clear Channel has accelerated the homogenization of our airwaves, shut out independent artists, and is using their more than 1200 stations to promote a conservative political agenda.
For more information and to learn how to take action, go to:
*2) Today, Ralph Nader will appear on Crossfire to debate the FCC's proposed media deregulation. Catch the debate at the beginning of the show at 4:30 pm EST, 1:30 pm PST!!
*3) Wednesday, June 4th is a National Call-in day against war profiteering. Call your representatives in Congress and demand transparency and openness in all contracts granted by the Department of Defense, USAID and other government agencies to U.S. corporations doing business in post-war Iraq. Tell your representatives to demand that all the contracts be publicly released.

The user can fully interpret the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others without reading apparent symptoms, allowing them to understand introverts or discover one emotion is actually hiding another. They can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since they know exactly what emotion is flowing through themselves and can use this knowledge to play against them. Some users may learn to read emotional imprints left into environment or objects.
Usually over time, an Empath's power grows to the point that they can manipulate emotions on others, and possibly use them to empower themselves. The user may learn to extend their power over/on vast number of sentient beings or reach extreme distances, even other levels of existence but this may be possible only if the user has emotional link to those they search already in effect.

Empathy has many branches of power, ranging from very weak to very advanced. As the user becomes more advanced, these branches may grow. Here are some levels that other empaths have displayed having/may gain:
- Clairaudience - Some Empaths have displayed the ability to not only feel emotions, but also "hear" the heightened thoughts associated with that specific emotions. This is probably due to the fact that both cortices (emotional and mental) so closely relate to one another. An example would be if an empath senses two spouses aiming a lot of hatred towards one another. The empath might get the echo of thought along with that emotion (E.g. "I can't believe he's cheating on me after all these years"). However this is not to be confused with Telepathy. An Empath can only get visionary "echoes" related to certain emotions. They cannot read full memories.
- Clairempathy - More advanced users of empathy have shown the ability to sense emotions over great distances such as cities, countries, continents, and other dimensions and planes (The Astral Plane AKA The Emotional Plane).
- Clairvoyance - An Empath can forge an emotional connection with another being. If that connection stays opens, the Empath is able to sense when that person is in danger and is also able to locate them by their "emotional scent". To give you an better understanding of this, one could consider this the empathic version of "Vampiric Siring" (see "True Blood", "Buffy", "Moonlight", and "The Vampire Diaries" for an understanding of supernatural "Siring"). See also Sensory Scrying. Also could be used to sense/feel/detect spiritual/demonic beings, as well as feel the danger within a place.
- Cosmic Empathy
- Empathic Communication
- Empathic Healing - This is a level that is somewhat rare and not many can master. Empaths can easily heal emotional wounds, but healing physical wounds is somewhat uncommon. When an Empath "heals" wounds that are physical, they don't heal the actual injury. The Empath simply takes the pain into themselves so the victim no longer feels that pain.
- Empathic Illusion Casting - Empaths can create illusions based on certain emotions.
- Empathic Mimicry - Higher level Empaths can use this power to tap into others' abilities. This is done by the Empath channeling someone and finding the exact emotion that triggers their power. The Empath, so long as they remember that emotion, is able to use/copy that person's power, and maybe even turn that power against the original user.
- Empathic Power Absorption - Highly advanced Empaths can steal the powers of others for their own by using an associated emotion, leaving the victim powerless.
- Empathic Power Randomization - Powerful Empaths can gain random powers based on their mood and emotions (gaining Regenerative Healing Factor or Invulnerability when scared, or Enhanced Strength when angry).
- Empathic Projection - Some Empaths can develop the ability to project their own emotions onto others.
- Intuitive Empathic Replication - Unlike Empathic Mimicry where the user simply channels and copies others powers, Intuitive Empathy gives that user the knowledge on how to use the ability intuitively.
- Lie Detection - Empaths can sense when a person is lying to them, as lying can cause an irregularity in one's emotions. More skilled users can pick out the lie and find the truth.
- Omnilingualism - User can speak, write, understand and communicate in any fluently language, and as such is potentially able to understand and communicate with anyone, even non-humans on an emotional level
- Psychometry - There are some places that have constant emotional residue (due to major events happening in that location war, death, historical moments, etc.). Some Empaths are able to tap into those emotional (lower level users that enter these places are overpowered involuntarily) imprints and re-experience those emotions as if they were happening in that moment. If skilled enough, some Empaths can also see the emotional echoes (images/residual ghosts) still there. This would be due to high levels of concentrated emotional energy.
- Tactile Empathy - Empaths can sense, understand and/or manipulate the emotions of others through physical contact.
- Techno-Empathy - Empaths can sense the emotions of machines and other technology.
- Telempathy - Empath can not only sense others emotions, but they can also send their own emotions to others. Users can communicate with one another emotionally and if skilled enough send "echoes" (ie: it means a quick glimpse of an images and thoughts, e.g. sending the emotion of love to another user and the receiver seeing an image of their loved one like a mother, child, or spouse) of images back and forth.

Okay, so I'm a little confused. Do people even go to baseball games in Baltimore anymore? Once again, Camden Yards was at just 35% capacity. You could see so many empty green seats all over the stadium on any wide shot. I can't say that is great for team spirit or hometown pride or anything else. Charm City certainly isn't showing much charm in that case.
But I digress. The Yankees came into this game, the middle game of the series in Baltimore, having lost their last 8 games in a row. And the slump was all anyone could talk about. Then, Alex Rodriguez (more on him later) came into the clubhouse and gave a bit of a pep talk, seeing no reason why they shouldn't be hitting 5 runs in every game. And I agree with him. It's just not been happening.
Until tonight, that is. The Yankees sent up CC Sabathia to start tonight's game. Fun fact on Sabathia in similar scenarios: in the 8 years Sabathia has been a Yankee, this is the 4th time he started a game when the Yankees needed to break a bad losing streak (losing 5 or more games); and after tonight, his own streak continues with being super successful (4 wins for 4 opportunities). But Sabathia was pitching like vintage Sabathia tonight, and it was good. So very good. 99 pitches over 7 shutout innings, giving up just 6 hits and 2 walks, and striking out 6 batters.
Kirby Yates came on in the 8th, and after a nice strikeout, loaded the bases with a double and 2 walks. An odd outing for an otherwise strong reliever. There was no way the Yankees were about to let this slip through their hands. And who do you call? Dellin Betances, of course. 3 pitches – strike out. 3 more pitches – pop-up. Bases loaded threat avoided in 6 beautiful pitches.
Chasen Shreve added beauty to the 9th inning with 16 pitches and 2 strikeouts of his own creation. Shreve's pitching was eerily similar to the Shreve from Spring Training. And where he struggled some earlier on this road trip, he seems back into Shreve-form.
Worth noting: collectively, the Yankee pitchers struck out 10 Orioles batters tonight. In light of recent game stats, it's nice to see them putting up these kinds of numbers.
And speaking of numbers, both Sabathia and the Orioles starter were dealing with a shut-out game on both sides. Both were waiting to see who cracked first. It was the Orioles, which is exactly what the Yankees needed. Even Gardner pre-game was determined that this was a "must win" for the team. (Gee, these veteran players really know what they're talking about.)
In the 6th inning, with 1 out, Ellsbury singled, stole 2nd base, moved to 3rd on Gardner's single, and then scored on Carlos Beltran's sacrifice fly to get things started. After Teixeira worked a walk, Brian McCann singled home Gardner, moving Teixeira to 3rd. A throwing error by the pitcher himself allowed Castro to reach safely and Teixeira to score. A 3-run inning is not a bad way to break through the zeroes on the scoreboard.
Then in the 8th, the Yankees mustered together to expand their lead and solidify Sabathia's win tonight. Beltran's lead-off double and Teixeira's 2nd walk of the night allowed them to both score on McCann's nice double. McCann ended up on 3rd on the throw. As no outs had been recorded yet for the inning, the Orioles wisely changed out their pitcher. The new guy promptly got 2 outs, but the Yankees recovered and added more runs. Didi Gregorius singled to score McCann, and Headley's single and Ellsbury's walk loaded the bases. Then Brett Gardner was hit by a pitch right on the elbow (more below). Gregorius thus scored on that to cap off the Yankees' runs tonight.
Okay, can I just take a moment to brag on Jacoby Ellsbury tonight? I mean, he's always just stellar in center field, but tonight he also showed off with some great offensive contribution to the team. He went 3-for-3, with a run scored, 2 walks, and 2 stolen bases just tonight. In other words, every time he was up to bat, he got on base and did amazing things to help the Yankees win. Talk about breaking a slump and setting an example.
Final score: 7-0 Yankees (boy, does that feel good to write!)
Injury update: Alex Rodriguez is out and on the 15-day DL. The MRI revealed a strained hamstring, and the veteran hitter is still quite sore. So he will be resting for the time being. The tricky thing with strains and sprains is that they're always difficult to judge on a perfect healing time. When it's a break, it's either broken or it's not. But muscles are weird, quirky parts of the body that are anything but predictable in health or recovery.
And Brett Gardner's elbow injury is concerning, but x-rays and preliminary tests came back negative for anything other than a jarring to the elbow and probable bruise and lingering soreness. You try taking a 93 mph fastball off your elbow and see how fast you want to go out and do something like swing a baseball bat let alone pick up your toothbrush or cereal spoon.
In light of Rodriguez's injury, instead of calling up an additional bat, the Yankees opted for bullpen help in the form of James Pazos. Pazos even joked about looking forward to batting, but I can see where an extra arm in the bullpen to make what has become an often stilted or shortened starting rotation a little breathing room. With some very minor exceptions, the bullpen has been a shining example and saving grace in more than just a handful of instances this season already. Even tonight.
Gardner later commented that tonight's win felt like they'd clinched a play-off spot. But Gregorius thinks there might have been a little help from something else (and chose to show off his amazing nerdiness like everyone else today).
#spreadthenews yankees win quality start by CC and great game overall … May the force be with us from now on… Lol

Go Yankees!

Light brown skin and very mild, sweet white flesh. Improved variety produces large round bulbs, upright tops and necks that dry down well.
Onions (Allium cepa) are cool season biennials, members of the Amaryllidaceae family, which includes garlic, leeks, chives and scallions. Onions started from seed store better than sets, but mature later. Bulbing onions are dependent on day length for bulb production; short-day onions produce bulbs when they receive 11-12 hours of daylight, long-day onions need 14-16 hours (latitudes north of 35º), and moderate day onions like Walla Walla and Gladstone fall in between these.
Soil Nutrients and Requirements
Onions prefer soils rich in organic matter that are well-drained. Optimal pH is 6.2-6.8. They cannot tolerate acid soils, especially in early stages. 80 lbs/A nitrogen is recommended. Sidedress 4-5 weeks after planting. High levels of sulfur in the soil will increase pungency. Best results come from selecting a bed with the least weed pressure possible.
Seeding Depth
Plant Spacing
Medium size onions 3-4", for large onions 4-6", for sweet onions 4"
Row Spacing
When to Sow
Days to maturity are from direct seeding, subtract 1-2 weeks if transplanting. Direct seed onions as soon as soil can be worked or start transplants 10-12 weeks before planting date. Sow thickly in flats or 1" cells, in singles, doubles or triples. When seedlings reach 5" trim to 1" to increase girth. Transplanting is recommended for short growing seasons and sweet onions. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 75-85°F.
Other Considerations
Onions compete poorly with weeds. Cultivate regularly to control weed pressure.
For fresh eating, onions can be harvested whenever they reach desired size. Storage onions can be harvested when tops dry up and flop over. Pull bulbs from ground and cure for 3-5 days in the field or bring into barn or greenhouse and cure for two weeks at 75-80°F and 80% relative humidity.
Cool slowly, and store at steady temperatures. Rapid cooling followed by a sudden warm period might break dormancy and cause onions to sprout. Optimal storage is at near freezing temperatures at 65-70% relative humidity.

Protocol Id: 263
This protocol is intended for immunoprecipitation of native proteins for analysis by western immunoblot or kinase activity utilizing Protein A magnetic separation.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalent grade water.
10X Cell Lysis Buffer: (#9803) To prepare 10 ml of 1X cell lysis buffer, add 1 ml cell lysis buffer to 9 ml dH2O, mix.
NOTE: Add 1 mM PMSF (#8553) immediately prior to use.
A cell lysate pre-clearing step is highly recommended to reduce non-specific protein binding to the Protein A Magnetic beads. Pre-clear enough lysate for test samples and isotype controls.
IMPORTANT: Pre-wash #73778 magnetic beads just prior to use:
Carefully remove the buffer once the solution is clear. Add 500 μl of 1X cell lysis buffer to the magnetic bead pellet, briefly vortex to wash the beads. Place tube back in magnetic separation rack. Remove buffer once solution is clear. Repeat washing step once more.
IMPORTANT: The optimal lysate concentration will depend on the expression level of the protein of interest. A starting concentration between 250 μg/ml-1.0 mg/ml is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Appropriate isotype controls are highly recommended in order to show specific binding in your primary antibody immunoprecipitation. Use Normal Rabbit IgG #2729 for rabbit polyclonal primary antibodies, Rabbit (DA1E) mAb IgG XP® Isotype Control #3900 for rabbit monoclonal primary antibodies, and Mouse (G3A1) mAb IgG1 Isotype Control #5415 for mouse monoclonal primary antibodies. Isotype controls should be concentration matched and run alongside the primary antibody samples
Proceed to one of the following specific set of steps.
NOTE: To minimize masking caused by denatured IgG heavy chains (~50 kDa), we recommend using Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Light-Chain Specific) (D4W3E) mAb (#45262) or Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Conformation Specific) (L27A9) mAb (#3678) (or HRP conjugate #5127). To minimize masking caused by denatured IgG light chains (~25 kDa), we recommend using Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Conformation Specific) (L27A9) mAb (#3678) (or HRP conjugate #5127).

NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalent grade water.
NOTE: When including fluorescent cellular dyes in your experiment (including viability dyes, DNA dyes, etc.), please refer to the dye product page for the recommended protocol. Visit www.cellsignal.com for a full listing of cellular dyes validated for use in flow cytometry.
NOTE: Adherent cells or tissue should be dissociated and in single-cell suspension prior to fixation.
NOTE: Optimal centrifugation conditions will vary depending upon cell type and reagent volume. Generally, 150-300g for 1-5 minutes will be sufficient to pellet the cells.
NOTE: If using whole blood, lyse red blood cells and wash by centrifugation prior to fixation.
NOTE: Antibodies targeting CD markers or other extracellular proteins may be added prior to fixation if the epitope is disrupted by formaldehyde and/or methanol. The antibodies will remain bound to the target of interest during the fixation and permeabilization process. However, note that some fluorophores (including PE and APC) are damaged by methanol and thus should not be added prior to permeabilization. Conduct a small-scale experiment if you are unsure.
NOTE: Count cells using a hemocytometer or alternative method.

Protocol Id: 404
This antibody detects endogenous levels of PP2A catalytic subunit protein (both α and β isoforms). The antibody does not cross-react with other PP2A subunits.
Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, D. melanogaster
Chicken, Pig
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids at the carboxy terminus of human PP2A catalytic subunit. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Protein phosphatase type 2A (PP2A) is an essential protein serine/threonine phosphatase that is conserved in all eukaryotes. PP2A is a key enzyme within various signal transduction pathways as it regulates fundamental cellular activities such as DNA replication, transcription, translation, metabolism, cell cycle progression, cell division, apoptosis and development (1-3). The core enzyme consists of catalytic C and regulatory A (or PR65) subunits, with each subunit represented by α and β isoforms (1). Additional regulatory subunits belong to four different families of unrelated proteins. Both the B (or PR55) and B' regulatory protein families contain α, β, γ and δ isoforms, with the B' family also including an ε protein. B'' family proteins include PR72, PR130, PR59 and PR48 isoforms, while striatin (PR110) and SG2NA (PR93) are both members of the B''' regulatory protein family. These B subunits competitively bind to a shared binding site on the core A subunit (1). This variable array of holoenzyme components, particularly regulatory B subunits, allows PP2A to act in a diverse set of functions. PP2A function is regulated by expression, localization, holoenzyme composition and post-translational modification. Phosphorylation of PP2A at Tyr307 by Src occurs in response to EGF or insulin and results in a substantial reduction of PP2A activity (4). Reversible methylation on the carboxyl group of Leu309 of PP2A has been observed (5,6). Methylation alters the conformation of PP2A, as well as its localization and association with B regulatory subunits (6-8).

Intervenant(s) : Rodrigue Chakode
- Date : Mercredi 10 juillet 2013
- Horaire : 11h00
- Durée : 40 minutes
- Lieu : H 2214
In this talk, we will present RealOpInsight (http://RealOpInsight.com), a toolkit designed to enable the monitoring of business processes and services provided to end users on top of popular open source monitoring systems like Nagios, Zabbix, Zenoss, Shinken, Centreon, op5 Monitor, GroundWork, etc. The tool enables operators to have a real insight on the healthy of monitored services. Indeed, when incidents arise, the operator is able - at a glance- to evaluate their impacts on the services. Relying on a hierarchical organization of services, RealOpInsight provides advanced rules as well as powerful algorithms to aggregate and propagate the severity of incidents. Furthermore, based on Qt, it cross-platform and benefits from the powerful of an GUI application to provide useful features such as system tray notification. During the talk, we will first present the features and the architecture of RealOpInsight. Then, from basic examples, we will describe how it can help operators and administrators to prioritize incident recoveries. Finally, we'll conclude by presenting the future of the software.

text: When the BW opposition folks talk about Real Estate values being lower in Ventnor then Margate, it's true, generally Real Estate does cost less in Ventnor. Of course, what they're trying to imply is that because Ventnor has a BW its that singular difference between the two towns that causes lower Real Estate values In Ventnor. If that's the case they need to explain this then. Real estate values are generally lower in Margate then Longport as well. Why is this when neither Margate nor Longport has a BW today? Of course, the reason is that BWs have nothing much to do with Real Estate values to start with. The problem isn't BWs its their faulty logic. Just because A ( Ventnor has a BW) correlates with B ( Ventnor also has lower RE values) doesn't mean A necessarily causes B. A classic Correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation fallacy. Yet this is exactly what they try and claim over and over again in public and online. Added to their endless ad hominem ( personal attacks) on us and what we have are a bunch of people without a case.

There are only 10 episodes left before Teen Wolf wraps up for good. To whet our appetite for Season 6B of the supernatural series, MTV has unleashed a first intriguing sneak peek.
When we left Beacon Hill during the show's winter finale at the end of January, those pesky Ghost Riders and the Nazi werewolf were defeated; Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) finally returned, and everyone more or less rode into the sunset (as per Dread Central's words). Or so we thought. When Teen Wolf returns sometime this summer, the storyline will pick up "a few months" later and "explore what it means to be an outsider."
Titled "We Find Them, We Kill Them," the sneak peek doesn't reveal much of the storyline for the final batch of episodes, but from the short synopsis below, it looks like "hunters" (you know, like Chris Argent) armed to the teeth will be on the prowl for Scott (Tyler Posey) and his friends. Uh-oh. Does that mean the final threat won't be supernatural in nature? Check it out:
Scott, Lydia and Malia fear that hunters are about to cause havoc in Beacon Hills. Watch the final season of Teen Wolf this summer on MTV.
Are you looking forward to the final 10 episodes of Teen Wolf?

Hi ! I'm Mathilde, aka Belette, French Iggle and proud, and I want to introduce you to French animation. What can you tell me about French animation classics ? I bet you've heard of The Triplets of Belleville, which was nominated for the Oscars in 2004; you may also know Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi's masterpiece which won the Oscar in 2008. Maybe you've seen them both -and it was a good idea. But I'm pretty sure that most of the wonderful cartoons I grew up with are unknown outside France. It's a shame! French animation is various and surprising, and sadly, I won't be able in this post to show you everything I like about it. Here are a few examples, I hope you'll be curious!
I'll start here with the TV shows. It might surprise you, but French studios worked on Highlander: The Animated Series and Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats, so they're considered as French animation even if the universes are not French at all! I loved Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats, which is called "Les Entrechats" here, and the theme song was unforgettable -both in english and in french. Of course, we also have our own original stuff!
I don't know what was the first animated show on TV in France, but I think The Shadoks was the beginning of something. Even if created in 1968, it is timeless. The Shadoks are strange, stupid creatures and they are always doing stupid things. Their design is like a child's drawing and the animation is compendious. It's quite a phenomenon here, people either hate it or love it. If absurd humor is your thing, you should like it – I do.
Some of the French cartoons have a bizarre humor, you never know if it's meant for kids or adults, just like Space Goofs (Les Zinzins de l'espace). It's the story of crazy aliens who live in an old house and -poorly- disguise as humans to get rid of visitors. The same company produced Oggy and the Cockroaches (Oggy et les cafards), which is a very silly show using slapstick humor, about a gang of coakroaches who do pranks to the two cats living with them. On the other hand, you also could watch I Reynard (Moi, Renart) which tells the story of a kleptomaniac and classy anthropomorphic fox…
But we also produced serious shows, I swear! As we grew up, most French children discovered the world, biology and history with cartoons named "Il était une fois…" (once upon a time…). Each cartoon talked about a different subject, but they all featured the same main characters: the old and wise man, the nice guy, the bad guy… It was easy to recognize them in each story and made everything more understandable.
One of the most depressing -yet beautiful- cartoon was Clémentine. Basically, it's a girl in a wheelchair who travels the world to find a cure while, in her dreams, she fights terryfying demons. Most French people grew up with Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea (Les Mondes Engloutis), a science-fiction story with a social criticism twist.
I highly recommand those shows!
I'll end this part dedicated to the animated series with two more recent shows you might like. The first is Code Lyoko, which follows the adventures of teenagers between the real world and a virtual one, in which they fight against an evil program –Tron style. The other one is Minuscule, an adorable 3D-cartoon full of insects, which is set on a natural French countryside! It became a César-winning movie last year.
At the beginning of the post, I wrote about animation movies: you might not know, but studios from France created some pretty good movies I think everybody should watch. I'll take only five very different examples, but there are so much more… Again: please, be curious.
I'll start with the famous The King and the Mockingbird (Le Roi et l'Oiseau,), the movie which inspired Miyazaki to become an animation director. The scenario was written by Prévert, the genious poet, and it's both entertaining and beautiful. Both children and adults will love this magical and enchanting movie. Sadly, it will lose a bit of its charm with a translation.
Fantastic Planet (La Planète Sauvage) is not what I'd call "famous" here, but it is considered a classic. This masterpiece has the most peculiar art -the animation is actually made of paper cuts- and a wonderful science-fiction story. It's based on a book about humans who are pets to giants… Very interesting, and I personaly think it's one of the best animation films ever made.
Based on a book too, The Suicide Shop (Le Magasin des Suicides) is a crazy and funny musical. OK, I admit: the music is awful and the lyrics aren't that good. But what makes the movie incredible is the way the animation is done -it's like paper cut ! This hilarious story of a kid who wants to brighten the life of people while his parents are selling them suicide methods is really worth watching.
Loving *good* songs and romantic stories ? A Monster in Paris (Un Monstre à Paris) is a nice musical which, obviously, takes place in Paris, in the beginning of the 20th century. There is a monster, a cabaret singer, a scientist, a love story: if not perfect, this animation movie is the closest thing to a blockbuster made by a French studio, and it's absolutely lovely.
Kirikou and the Sorceress (Kirikou et la Sorcière) is a wonderful animation movie, meant for kids but with a lot more meanings for an adult. This is the story of Kirikou, a little boy in an African village who, as soon as he was born, started to talk. He's so clever he figures out a way to get rid of the witch who terrifies his village. Songs, beautiful art, nice story: this movie has everything.
French people should have noticed something, it's that I didn't really talk about the Franco-Belgian comics adapted in animated series or movies. Lots of famous comics just like Tintin, Astérix, Spirou, Lucky Luke, The Smurfs, Blake and Mortimer, became very good animated series or movies. But bande dessinée is serious business, and I don't want you to discover those iconic characters elsewere than in the pages of the books !
This is the end of this post -my first, yeepee !- thank you for reading me to the end. I hope you enjoyed learning things about French culture. Now, you can go watch everything I talked about and more, and don't forget to tell me what you think of it.

The celebratory opening ceremony was attended by several high-ranking organisers.
The 2018 Winter Olympics mascot Soohorang is there to greet newcomers.

Most of the rooms appear to have balconies.
The comforters have the Pyeongchang 2018 logo and symbols of the sports stitched into them.
The bathrooms are simple and modern-looking, but hey, at least they're not leaking!

New Russia round completes 2020 DTM calendar
The 2020 DTM calendar has been completed with the announcement that the series will head to new Russian circuit Igora Drive after signing a five-year deal with the venue.
As reported by Motorsport.com, Russia was in frame to return to the DTM calendar for the first time in 2017, although the series admitted that it was also in discussions with other circuits in Europe.
The confirmation of a new five-year contract with Igora Drive was made during a live-streamed press conference at Hockenheim on Thursday.
The Hermann Tilke-designed, FIA Grade 2 circuit, north of St Petersburg, has filled the slot the DTM had called a "very exciting" addition when it announced its calendar last month, and the race weekend will take place on May 29-31.
The circuit is currently targeting FIA Grade 1 classification after construction, which began in 2016, was recently completed.
The high-speed circuit has multiple configurations but the full layout includes an uphill final sector with a series of quick-fire corners following a hairpin before heading onto the long main straight.

Two-time DTM champion Rene Rast said: "We can't wait to go on track. Already now we went a few times around the track and we asked for race cars to race today. In 25 years of racing experience, I've not seen anything like that."
BMW driver Philipp Eng said: "The facility is amazing, I have never seen anything like it before. It's not only the track, but the whole surroundings, and I'm looking forward to racing here next year.
"Especially, the last sector, as a racing driver it is very technical and interesting so we will see spectacular racing here."
The addition of Igora Drive marks the DTM's return to Russia for the first time since 2017, having raced at Moscow Raceway between 2013-17.
Igora Drive is the third new-for-2020 venue on the calendar, joining Monza and former Swedish Grand Prix venue Anderstorp.
During Formula 1's Russian Grand Prix weekend, there had been speculation that the race could move from Sochi to Igora Drive, but Russian officials played down the prospect.
Organisers at Igora Drive confirmed there had been no discussions with F1.
W Series will remain on the DTM's support bill in 2020, with a press release on Thursday confirming it "is expecting to expand its six-race 2019 calendar, remaining committed to partner series DTM, although full details will not be announced until later this year".

Goodreads • Book Depository
After an awkward first encounter, Birdie and Daniel are forced to work together in a Seattle hotel where a famous author leads a mysterious and secluded life in this romantic contemporary novel from the author of Alex, Approximately.
Mystery-book aficionado Birdie Lindberg has an overactive imagination. Raised in isolation and homeschooled by strict grandparents, she's cultivated a whimsical fantasy life in which she plays the heroic detective and every stranger is a suspect. But her solitary world expands when she takes a job the summer before college, working the graveyard shift at a historic Seattle hotel.
In her new job, Birdie hopes to blossom from introverted dreamer to brave pioneer, and gregarious Daniel Aoki volunteers to be her guide. The hotel's charismatic young van driver shares the same nocturnal shift and patronizes the waterfront Moonlight Diner where she waits for the early morning ferry after work. Daniel also shares her appetite for intrigue, and he's stumbled upon a real-life mystery: a famous reclusive writer—never before seen in public—might be secretly meeting someone at the hotel.
To uncover the writer's puzzling identity, Birdie must come out of her shell…discovering that most confounding mystery of all may be her growing feelings for the elusive riddle that is Daniel.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Obviously, being *the biggest* Jenn Bennett fangirl, I was ecstatic when Simon & Schuster approved me for the e-ARC of her newest release, Serious Moonlight. And while Serious Moonlight is probably my least favorite Bennett book so far, I still had a fun reading experience!
In this book, we follow 18-year-old Birdie Lindberg, who has scored a summer job working the graveyard shift at a swanky hotel in downtown Seattle. However, when she shows up to her first night of work, she realizes one of her coworkers is a boy she had a one-night stand with and promptly ran out on. NIGHTMARE FUEL. That being said, Birdie and Daniel decide to team up to investigate a mystery happening at the hotel, and before long, they start to develop romantic feelings for each other.
Birdie herself was quirky in the vein of all of Jenn Bennett's heroines, but she also had a vulnerable side I deeply related to. She's obsessed with mysteries and detective stories and aspires to herself be a detective one day, and as a result, she looks for mysteries and suspects everywhere. I loved reading the "profiles" she compiles for all of the people who present her with everyday mysteries of human interaction. She also has narcolepsy, and it was refreshing to read about a protagonist with a chronic illness.
Daniel, the love interest, was so earnest and charming. He loves magic tricks and is a talented woodworker, and underneath his wit and charm is a very human darkness. He's half-Japanese and also has depression, which was more great rep I loved reading in this story.
Both Daniel's and Birdie's families were WONDERFUL. I love that family plays a large part in all of Jenn Bennett's books, and I especially appreciate her portrayal of different kinds of "non-traditional" families. The Seattle setting was a refreshing change, too– the Pacific Northwest is so atmospheric and wonderful and was the perfect backdrop for a mystery.
Obviously, given the premise, Serious Moonlight was super sex-positive. All of Jenn Bennett's books tend to share this trait, but this one in particular was very frank and honest in its discussion about sex. Not only is sex a major catalyst for the plot, but it's discussed in detail throughout the story. Safe sex is mentioned multiple times!
The mystery plot was great– I mean, it plays on one of my biggest curiosities… what are reclusive bestselling authors who write under pen names REALLY like? I honestly wish it had played MORE of a part in the story. It took a backseat to the romance toward the second half of the book. I definitely did not expect the mystery to resolve the way it did.
All in all, Serious Moonlight is classic Jenn Bennett in a lot of ways– very sex-positive; heroine with a very niche interest; witty banter between the love interests; awesome families– but with a couple key differences (slightly older protagonists, a mystery plot, more sex). While it wasn't her best work, in my opinion, I think Bennett fans will still love this one!
Have you read Serious Moonlight? What's your favorite Jenn Bennett book?
