nelly as The Baboon in The Starfish and the Baboon (set piece).
A simultaneous world premiere with First Floor Theater (Chicago), Artists at Play (Los Angeles), and Mixed Blood/Theatre Mu (Minneapolis), Yale Drama Series Prize-winner Leah Nanako Winkler's biting comedy delights and challenges our notions of how an American family is defined, and to whom their stories belong. A pan-Asian cast plays an upper-class white family thrown into chaos, lust, and spite with the intrusion of a "diverse" personal assistant upon their palatial summer home in the East Hamptons. As dramaturg, Annie primarily focused on grounding the humor of the performance through text work so that the comedy--whether physical, technical, or textual--served to enhance the storytelling rather than be played simply for laughs. As a Ferocious Lotus company member, Annie also designed the marketing collateral for the production, a set piece (pictured above), and provided pre-production and production photos.

Under the direction of Nana Dakin, this all-female production of Richard III at Columbia University School of the Arts tells the story of an underdog who wants to be exceptional. Utilizing the iconographies of kingship and sportsmanship, fifteen actresses explore and challenge historical western structures of gender and power through their own bodies and Shakespeare's enduring language. Annie was involved in the casting, production design, and dramaturgy of gender/race/ability within this abstracted world.

For the premiere of Speaking As Then, a new play by Ruoxin Xu, Annie tapped into her background and family history to serve as script and production dramaturg on this deeply personal story about a Chinese family reuniting in Beijing during Lunar New Year. In addition to compiling research around the June 4 protests and traditional Beijing new year cultural practices, Annie worked with the playwright and director to craft a common theatrical language for this pan-Asian cast. This is their second collaboration; Annie previously served as the dramaturg on Xu's short play, "In the Name of Us", performed in English and Mandarin.The.
Jackson entered this week as questionable after suffering a quadriceps injury against New Orleans in Week 16. He compiled 707 yards and six touchdowns on the ground this season. If Jackson is inactive, Jacquizz Rodgers and rookie Devonta Freeman will share the load. Rodgers received 12 touches and Freeman got eight against the Saints.
Atlanta opened up as a 2 1/2-point home favorite. The line has now moved to 3 points in favor of the Falcons. The winner takes the NFC South title.March 14th, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) issued its decision on the Environmental Assessment (EA) for Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) Darlington Nuclear Generating Station Refurbishment and Continued Operation Project. This announcement follows the CNSC’s four-day public hearing in Clarington last December, where OPG, CNSC and members of the public presented written and verbal positions on the proposed project. This decision enables OPG to move ahead with a number of activities in support of Darlington refurbishment.
OPG completed extensive environmental studies on the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station (DNGS), resulting in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Project. OPG submitted the EIS to the CNSC in December 2011.
"OPG is very pleased with the CNSC’s decision," said Wayne Robbins, OPG’s Chief Nuclear Officer. "We were confident in our conclusions that Darlington Refurbishment and continued operation of the station will not result in any significant, adverse environmental effects, given the mitigation measures identified."
A team of over fifteen technical experts undertook the EA studies. Throughout the EA process, OPG incorporated input from the community.
The Darlington Refurbishment Project involves the refurbishment of the four reactors at the DNGS to enable the continued operations for approximately 25 to 30 additional years. Refurbishment requires the replacement of a number of major components when the reactor is not operating. In addition, other components will be inspected, serviced and, if necessary, replaced. Following the refurbishment of each reactor, the units will be refueled, tested and returned to full power operation. Ongoing operation after refurbishment will include routine scheduled maintenance activities and inspections.
A refurbished Darlington station will provide 3,500 megawatts of clean, reliable, cost-effective electricity for the people of Ontario for an additional 25 to 30 years. It will be one of the largest capital infrastructure projects in Canada, creating significant benefits for 10 to15 years including employment, business and supplier opportunities and increased municipal revenue.Viterbo and the popes thermal bath from the seaport of civitavecchia, meet your driver at the port pick up time 0800am and drive through the Roman countryside onto Viterbo which takes about 1 hour drive from the seaport. Once arrived in Viterbo the home of the papal palace which was a retreat for the popes during difficult times in Rome... The translation in Italiano is known as the "palazzo dei papi. After visiting the main attraction in Viterbo a visit to the cathedral of San Lorenzo which is also the resting place of Pope John XXI and you will also find some fine pictures within the cathedral.
Next which is what you have been waiting for a stop at the popes bath. The natural hot spring waters which offers the sulphate/ sulfur properties a wealth of therapeutic treatments, even during the not so warmer months like September and October you will find that even colder outside you dry quickly and you feel renovated, so it's a visit to make to this large pool that receives the water from the hot springs.Extremely strong hurricane Ophelia struck Ireland Monday morning with wind gusts of up to 80 miles(128km/h) per hour and left hundreds of people without electricity. United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland are not used for those types of storms and it is considered to be the strongest hurricane for previous 50 years. Ireland’s weather service issued its first red alert for severe weather throughout the country. Already named three victims of an Ophelia storm. Schools and colleges are closed and people are advised to stay at home.<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: Aggregate window push down for count doesn't produce zero for empty windows

Very few vaccines are 100% effective so monitoring them is a key area of research. Before reading this page, you may want to read about the Bexsero© vaccine on the previous page.
The potential for vaccine failure makes the need to monitor Bexsero© all the more important. To help with the development of meningococcal vaccines, we should have an array of tools to determine whether a case of meningitis in a vaccinated individual has been caused by a strain we predict to be covered by the vaccine or not.
Scientists have observed massive differences in the amount of fHbp on the surface of infecting MenB cells. As differences in expression of fHbp can be a reason for vaccine failure, we are developing tools to measure the amount of fHbp expressed by infectious MenB and to identify DNA signatures that match to these different expression levels.
It is usually very difficult to isolate live MenB samples from patients with meningitis. This is because, as soon as meningitis is suspected, patients are given antibiotics killing the bacteria before we have chance to catch it. In this case, it can be very difficult to find anything out about the infecting strain, and whether we expected it to be covered by the vaccine.
To get around this, we are developing tests to type MenB cells directly from the sites of infection (blood etc). As fHbp provides the greatest source of uncertainty, this is the antigen we are focusing on. These techniques however may be adapted for use with different vaccine antigens in the future.
The current method for 'typing' MenB cells involves isolation of the organism from the site of infection, growth and analysis. The tools we're developing will directly analyse clinical samples such as blood or cerebral-spinal fluid (CSF).
Firstly, we are attempting to measure levels of fHbp mRNA directly from clinical samples. mRNA is the intermediate code between DNA and protein. We think that the amount of mRNA present in a clinical sample may be a good indicator of how much fHbp was on the surface of each cell.
Secondly, we are looking to directly measure the amount of fHbp protein in the clinical samples. To do this we are going to use a method known as 'tandem mass spectroscopy'. We think that comparing the relationship between mRNA levels and protein levels
