Study links carbon dioxide emissions to increased deaths

By Louis Bergeron

Carbon Dioxide Levels Are Highest in Human History

Humans pumped 36 billion tons of the planet-warming gas into the atmosphere in 2021, more than in any previous year. It comes from burning oil, gas and coal.

What are the four Brahma-viharas in Buddhism?
"abodes of brahma") are a series of four Buddhist virtues and the meditation practices made to cultivate them.
...

Brahmavihara

The Brahma-viharas are:
  • loving-kindness or benevolence (maitrī/mettā)
  • compassion (karuṇā)
  • empathetic joy (muditā)
  • equanimity (upekṣā/upekkhā)
What are the 4 Immeasurables in Buddhism?
 
Buddhism emphasizes the cultivation of four “sublime” or “noble” attitudes toward all beings: loving-kindness (friendliness), compassion (willing to cease suffering), appreciative joy (feeling happy for others), and equanimity (calm based on wisdom). These are known as the “four immeasurables” (Sujiva, 2007).

What are the 5 sins in Buddhism?

The precepts are commitments to abstain from killing living beings, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying and intoxication. Within the Buddhist doctrine, they are meant to develop mind and character to make progress on the path to enlightenment. 

Five precepts

44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Osmotic power

Osmotic power, salinity gradient power or blue energy is the energy available from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water. Two practical methods for this are reverse electrodialysis (RED) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO). Both processes rely on osmosis with membranes. The key waste product is brackish water. This byproduct is the result of natural forces that are being harnessed: the flow of fresh water into seas that are made up of salt water.

production/respiration ratio

Basically, an anaerobic treatment cycle involves wastewater entering a bioreactor receptacle containing a thick semi-solid substance called sludge, full of anaerobic bacteria and other microorganisms which break down the organic contaminants present in the wastewater.

Anaerobic respiration is respiration using electron acceptors other than molecular oxygen (O2). Although oxygen is not the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain.[1]

Anaerobic respiration

In aerobic organisms undergoing respiration, electrons are shuttled to an electron transport chain, and the final electron acceptor is oxygen. Molecular oxygen is a high-energy [2] oxidizing agent and, therefore, is an excellent electron acceptor. Anaerobes instead use lower-energy, less-oxidizing substances such as nitrate (NO−
3), fumarate (C
4H
2O2−
4), sulfate (SO2−
4), or elemental sulfur (S). These terminal electron acceptors have smaller reduction potentials than O2 and release less energy per oxidized molecule. Therefore, anaerobic respiration is less efficient than aerobic.

Anaerobic digestion

Sludge from municipalities (often called sewage sludge) is a byproduct of wastewater treatment. It is normally a mix of organic matter from human waste, food waste particles, microorganisms, trace chemicals and inorganic solids from products and medicine we use, together with water bound to these materials

Heterotrophs are a group of microorganisms (yeast, moulds & bacteria) that use organic carbon as food (as opposed to autotrophs like algae that use sunlight) and are found in every type of water. Detecting heterotrophs in water is done by using a method called Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC).

What Is Working Interest?

Working interest is a term for a type of investment in oil and gas drilling operations in which the investor is directly liable for a portion of the ongoing costs associated with exploration, drilling, and production. As part of the investment, working interest owners also fully participate in the profits of any successful wells. This stands in contrast to royalty interests, in which an investor's cost is usually limited to the initial investment, also resulting in a lower potential for large profits.

Write and Circulate a Petition

Serenity Sells Green Muni Financing Tool strategy with "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think," said Christopher Robin to Winnie-the-Pooh.

Conducting a Petition Drive

CITY CHARTER, ARTICLE IV, § 1.  POWER OF INITIATIVE

The people of the city reserve the power of direct legislation by initiative, and in the exercise of such power may propose any ordinance, not in conflict with this Charter, the state constitution, or the state laws except an ordinance appropriating money or authorizing the levy of taxes. Any initiated ordinance may be submitted to the council by a petition signed by qualified voters of the city equal in number to the number of signatures required by state law to initiate an amendment to this Charter.

This section deals with the people’s power of initiative, which means that a petition can be submitted accompanying a proposed ordinance that the petitioners want passed.

Such proposed ordinances can be about any subject matter (except appropriation of money or authorization of the levy of taxes) that does not conflict with the city charter, Texas Constitution, or state law. 

An initiated ordinance may be submitted to council via a petition “signed by qualified voters of the city equal in number to the number of signatures required by state law to initiate an amendment to this Charter.” 

  • The number of valid signatures required by state law is as follows: “The governing body shall submit a proposed [ordinance] to the voters for their approval at an election if the submission is supported by a petition signed by a number of qualified voters of the municipality equal to at least five percent of the number of qualified voters of the municipality or 20,000, whichever number is the smaller.” [See Texas Local Government Code, §9.004(a)]

Reports related to inventories of air-pollutant emissions from biogenic, non/off-road mobile, area, and point sources written by contractors for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Sources of Air Emissions

Air emissions are emitted from point sources (large stationary such as fossil fuel fired power plants, smelters, industrial boilers, petroleum refineries, and manufacturing facilities) and non-point (area, on-road mobile, non-road mobile, and biogenic) sources. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) maintains an estimate of these emission

In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of any kind of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total. Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

Summations of infinite sequences are called series. They involve the concept of limit, and are not considered in this article.

Daemon (computing)

A modern computer operating system usually segregates virtual memory into user space and kernel space.[a] Primarily, this separation serves to provide memory protection and hardware protection from malicious or errant software behaviour.

Kernel space is strictly reserved for running a privileged operating system kernel, kernel extensions, and most device drivers. In contrast, user space is the memory area where application software and some drivers execute.

Warlock

A warlock is a male practitioner of witchcraft.

The most commonly accepted etymology derives warlock from the Old English wǣrloga meaning "oathbreaker" or "deceiver"[2] and was given special application to the devil around 1000AD.[3] In early modern Scots, the word came to be used as the male equivalent of witch (which can be male or female, but has historically been used predominantly for females).[4][5][6] The association to the term "oathbreaker", "liar", or "traitor" was possibly associated with witches and wizards in Scotland as they were seen as someone who made a pact with Auld Hornie (the devil) and thus had betrayed the Christian faith and broke their baptismal vows.[7] From this use, the word passed into Romantic literature and ultimately 20th-century popular culture. A derivation from the Old Norse varð-lokkur, "caller of spirits", has also been suggested,[8][9][10] but the OED considers this implausible due to the extreme rarity of the Norse word and because forms without hard -k, which are consistent with the Old English etymology (“traitor”), are attested earlier than forms with a -k.[11]

In Wicca, the term warlock is not used; men and women alike use the term "witch".

RNAStat: An Integrated Tool for Statistical Analysis of RNA 3D Structures

rna-tools

A typical cell contains about ten times as much RNA as DNA. The high RNA content is due mainly to the large variety of roles played by RNA in the cell. There are three primary types of RNA—ribosomal RNA (rRNA), by far the most abundant, transfer RNA (tRNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA). RNA has single stranded stem loop or hairpin structures because the chains fold back on themselves, creating loops and small base paired stretches between
complementary regions. RNA is defined in terms of its primary structure (the order of the nucleotides in the chain), its secondary structure (the pattern of base pairing), and its tertiary structure (the conformation of the molecule in three dimensions).

The breakthrough for DNA occurred when restriction endonucleases were discovered. Restriction nucleases cleave double stranded DNA at specific sequences that are several nucleotides long. They are also largely responsible for the development of the genetic engineering techniques. . The RNA enzymes, called ribozymes, are able to cleave and form specific phosphodiester bonds in a manner analogous to protein enzymes.

NCBI Conserved Domain Search

Double stranded DNA usually assumes the B form of a double helix, with ten base pairs per turn, 0.34 nm between each adjacent base pair, and bases oriented perpendicular to the helical axis. In addition to the B form, DNA also exists in an A form (a right handed helix with 11 base pairs per turn, and bases tilted 30° with respect to the helical axis), and a Z form (a left handed helix with 12 base pairs per turn). The hydrophobic properties and hydrogen bonding abilities of the bases serve to hold the double stranded molecule together. However, this doublestranded conformation is sensitive to the temperature and ion concentration of its environment. At a sufficiently high temperature, the hydrogen bonds between bases are broken and the molecule is denatured. DNA made single stranded will spontaneously renature if the temperature is high enough to disrupt any intrastrand base pairing and if the salt concentration is sufficient to counteract the electrostatic repulsion between the phosphates. Renaturation kinetics can be used to determine the number of bases in a sequence that is repeated within a molecule and the number of copies of that sequence that are present.

What happens when DNA is denatured?
 
The denatured DNA can reformulate hydrogen bonds between complementary single strand, making it likely to reform double helix structure again. This process is called as renaturation. It may hinder the hybridization between the denatured DNA and the probe DNA.

The Shape and Structure of Proteins

A protein is a polymer of amino acids in which carbon atoms and peptide
groups alternate to form a linear polypeptide chain, while specific groups—the amino acid side chains—project from the carbon atom.  This linear
sequence of amino acids is called the primary structure of the protein.

Protein Structure

Primary structure is the amino acid sequence. Secondary structure is local interactions between stretches of a polypeptide chain and includes α-helix and β-pleated sheet structures. Tertiary structure is the overall the three-dimension folding driven largely by interactions between R groups. 
Any protein in the human body can be created from permutations of only 20 amino acids. There are seven types of proteins: antibodies, contractile proteins, enzymes, hormonal proteins, structural proteins, storage proteins, and transport proteins.

Why are there so many different kinds of forces in chemistry?

A typical cell contains 104–105 different kinds of molecules. Roughly half of these are small molecules—namely, inorganic ions and organic compounds whose molecular weights usually do not exceed several hundred. The others are polymers so massive (molecular weights from 104 to 1012) that they are called macromolecules. These molecules are of three major classes: proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides. They are polymers of amino acids, nucleotides, and sugars, respectively.

The length of a typical polypeptide chain, if it were fully extended, would be 1,000 to 5,000 Å. A few of the longer fibrous proteins, such as myosin (from muscle) and tropocollagen (from tendon) are in this range, with lengths of 1,600 Å and 2,800 Å, respectively. Most proteins, however, are highly folded and their longest dimension usually ranges from 40 Å to 80 Å. This folding constitutes the secondary structure of a protein and is described in the next section.

What bonds the chains of amino acids in proteins?
 
Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid.

Protein phosphorylation

Ligand Binding

Ligand binding to the C-terminal ligand binding domain is an important regulatory event in AR function, resulting in a conformational change that disrupts an intramolecular interaction between the amino terminus and the carboxy terminus, initiates posttranslational modifications, dissociates the AR from heat shock proteins (HSPs), and results in translocation of the active receptor–ligand complex to the nucleus, where it alters the transcription of target genes.

Globular protein

The catalytic and regulatory functions of cells are performed by proteins that have a well defined but deformable structure. These are the globular proteins, of which the catalytic proteins, or enzymes, are the most widely studied. Globular proteins are compact molecules having a generally spherical or ellipsoidal shape.

Protein tertiary structure

A very important distinction can be made between secondary and tertiary structure; namely,
Secondary structure results from hydrogen bonding between peptide groups that are close together in the sequence of the polypeptide chain. Tertiary structures are formed from the folding of the secondary structures ( helices, sheets) to yield three dimensional structures.

Hydrogen Bonding and Van der Waals Forces

Weaker Bonds in Biology

The most prevalent interactions responsible for tertiary structure are the following:

1. Ionic bonds between oppositely charged groups in acidic and basic amino acids. For example, glutamic acid forming an ionic interaction with lysine.
2. Hydrogen bonds between H bond donors and acceptors in amino acid side chains. For example, the hydroxyl group in tyrosine and a carboxyl group of aspartic or glutamic acids.
3. Hydrophobic clustering between the hydrocarbon side chains of nonpolar residues such as phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
4. Metal ion coordination complexes between amino, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups, ring nitrogens, and pairs of SH groups.

The ―SH group of a thiol is known as a mercapto group, and therefore the prefix mercapto- may be included in the names of certain compounds—for example, 2-mercaptoethanol or 2-mercaptobenzothiazole. When a thiol is named relative to a corresponding oxygen compound, the prefix thiol- is used—for example, thiophenol.

Sour gas is natural gas or any other gas containing significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Natural gas is usually considered sour if there are more than 5.7 milligrams of H2S per cubic meter of natural gas, which is equivalent to approximately 4 ppm by volume under standard temperature and pressure.

Which is the best general description of tertiary structure of a protein?
 
C Domains. The tertiary structure of a protein describes the manner in which the secondary structural elements are arranged in three dimensions to create a stable molecular entity. In many cases it is convenient to describe a protein in terms of regions of the polypeptide chain that might fold autonomously.

Tertiary Structure

The tertiary structure of a protein molecule encompasses the overall folding of polypeptide chains, where, if more than one chain is present, the chains are linked by covalent bonds—most often disulfide bonds (as in II).

Hexokinase 

Tertiary structure is the overall folding of a polypeptide in which secondary structure domains are positioned via long range interactions which may be covalent—for example, disulfide bonds, ionic (repulsion or attraction of charged side chains), hydrophobic (clustering of nonpolar side chains), or H bonds. Fibrous proteins have long, uninterrupted sections of helix or sheet; globular proteins are more spherical, with short stretches of secondary structure. Generally, polar side chains are on the surface near water, and nonpolar side chains are internal, away from water. Multisubunit proteins contain several polypeptides—for example, antibodies that contain two heavy and two light chains. The antigen binding site is formed by the interaction of two chains, a common property for binding and active sites. Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up the rate of cellular reactions. The active site is where substrate is bound, forming an enzymesubstrate complex where chemical reactions take place.  Page 84, Essentials of Molecular Biology by George Malacinski

Researchers Find That Eating a Certain Protein Is Related to Developing Depression

By Universitat Pompeu Fabra - Barcelona June 2, 2022

Among the proline-rich plant sources, we include:
  • Cabbage.
  • Soy and its derivatives: tofu, tempeh…
  • Chives.
  • Asparagus.
  • Peanuts.
  • White mustard seeds.
  • Wheat and its derivatives, especially seitan.
  • Watercress.
The best sources of proline and collagen in our diet are bone broth, collagen powder, gelatin, and other high-protein foods like liver, organ meats, grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, wild-caught fish, egg yolks and eggshell membranes
Supplementation with proline but not glutamic acid resulted in a linear increase (P < . 01) in weight gain. The failure to obtain a significant proline X glutamic acid interaction indicates that the response to proline was independent of the level of supplementary glutamic acid.
 
Indeed, proline and hydroxyproline are most abundant in meat and bone meal, poultry by-product meal, and salmon proteins. Therefore, these animal products are excellent sources of proline and hydroxyproline for post-weaning animals and post-hatching birds.

A troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut. Therefore, a person's stomach or intestinal distress can be the cause or the product of anxiety, stress, or depression. That's because the brain and the gastrointestinal (GI) system are intimately connected.

The Gut-Brain Axis: Influence of Microbiota on Mood and Mental Health

Super high voltages, such as from a small Tesla coil, supply such a small amount of current that a person feels just a tickle. A large Tesla coil can burn and kill. Electrocution or electric shock is when electricity passes through something living. It happens when the human body gets in contact with electric current. The word "electrocution" originated as a portmanteau between electricity and execution, referring to those executed by electric chair, but has evolved to describe any fatal encounter with electricity. Nonfatal encounters are called electric shocks, or simply a "shock".

Reductionism

Because of the spectacular success of the reductionist approach in molecular biology, modern researchers instinctively favor reductionist strategies. However, beginning students need to appreciate the fact that individual molecules do not function in a vacuum. They function rather as components of complex gene expression mechanisms, in metabolic pathways, or as structural elements, always in concert with other molecules.

Holism in science

The boundaries of the holistic approach are even being extended. one classic example is the protein hormone prolactin found in virtually all vertebrates. It was first discovered to stimulate the growth of the cells which line the crop in the pigeon. Later it was found to stimulate milk secretion in mammals. Then it was discovered to promote tail growth in aquatic amphibia. More recently, it was discovered to regulate salt balance in fish.

Knowledge is the collection of skills and information a person has acquired through experience. Intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge. Just because someone lacks knowledge of a particular subject doesn't mean they can't apply their intelligence to help solve problems

Definition

intelligent agent

An intelligent agent is a program that can make decisions or perform a service based on its environment, user input and experiences. These programs can be used to autonomously gather information on a regular, programmed schedule or when prompted by the user in real time

Intelligence involves how you gain knowledge and skills, and your ability to interact with the world around you, but wisdom is about more than just having knowledge – it pulls in one's judgment and experience too

AI meet AW

Artificial wisdom

Artificial wisdom is a software system that can demonstrate one or more qualities of being wise.

Artificial wisdom can be described as artificial intelligence reaching the top-level of decision-making when confronted with the most complex challenging situations.[1] The term artificial wisdom is used when the "intelligence" is based on more than by chance collecting and interpreting data, but by design[2] enriched with smart and conscience strategies that wise people would use.[3]

The worries about the future with artificial intelligence is bend to a more positive perspective when considering computer-aided wisdom; the collaboration between artificial intelligence and contemplative neuroscience.[4]

Object (computer science)

In computer science, an object can be a variable, a data structure, a function, or a method. As regions of memory, they contain value and are referenced by identifiers.

In the object-oriented programming paradigm, object can be a combination of variables, functions, and data structures; in particular in class-based variations of the paradigm it refers to a particular instance of a class.

In the relational model of database management, an object can be a table or column, or an association between data and a database entity (such as relating a person's age to a specific person).[1]

Scalar fields

Main article: Scalar field

A scalar field associates a scalar value to every point in a space. The scalar is a mathematical number representing a physical quantity. Examples of scalar fields in applications include the temperature distribution throughout space, the pressure distribution in a fluid, and spin-zero quantum fields (known as scalar bosons), such as the Higgs field. These fields are the subject of scalar field theory.

Vector fields

Main article: Vector field

A vector field is an assignment of a vector to each point in a space.[1] A vector field in the plane, for instance, can be visualized as a collection of arrows with a given magnitude and direction each attached to a point in the plane. Vector fields are often used to model, for example, the speed and direction of a moving fluid throughout space, or the strength and direction of some force, such as the magnetic or gravitational force, as it changed..

Mitra (Hindu god)

Mitra evolved into the patron divinity of friendship, and because he is "friend", abhors all violence, even when sacred

Mithraism, also known as the Mithraic mysteries, was a Roman mystery religion centered on the god Mithras. Although inspired by Iranian worship of the Zoroastrian divinity (yazata) Mithra, the Roman Mithras is linked to a new and distinctive imagery, with the level of continuity between Persian and Greco-Roman practice debated.[a] The mysteries were popular among the Imperial Roman army from about the 1st to the 4th-century CE.[2]

Iconography

Rituals and worship

According to M.J. Vermaseren and C.C. van Essen, the Mithraic New Year and the birthday of Mithras was on December 25.[l][m] However, Beck disagrees strongly.[45] Clauss states:

"the Mithraic Mysteries had no public ceremonies of its own. The festival of Natalis Invicti, held on 25 December, was a general festival of the Sun, and by no means specific to the Mysteries of Mithras."[46]

Mithraic initiates were required to swear an oath of secrecy and dedication,[47] and some grade rituals involved the recital of a catechism, wherein the initiate was asked a series of questions pertaining to the initiation symbolism and had to reply with specific answers. An example of such a catechism, apparently pertaining to the Leo grade, was discovered in a fragmentary Egyptian papyrus (Papyrus Berolinensis 21196),

What tribe did the word Tejas come from?

Caddo

The story goes that the word “Texas” itself comes from the Caddo word for “friends”. The Caddo were a confederacy of Native American tribes that dominated East Texas. The Spanish set up a mission in the region in the 17th century, led by friar Damián Massanet

Tejas is the Native American pronunciation of the word “friends” and is the name the Indians gave the earliest settlers. The motto of the state of Texas is “Friendship,” which is derived from this word, and it perfectly describes the name of my chapter, Tejas.

Tejas (तेजस्, “spirit”) refers to one of the eight aspects of the male's sattva, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 24.

Sattva

Tejas means something in Buddhism, Pali, Hinduism, Sanskrit, Jainism, Prakrit.

Grünbaum also devised a multi-set generalisation of Venn diagrams. He was an editor and a frequent contributor to Geombinatorics.

Grünbaum's classic monograph Convex Polytopes, first published in 1967, became the main textbook on the subject. His monograph Tilings and Patterns, coauthored with G. C. Shephard, helped to rejuvenate interest in this classic field, and has proved popular with nonmathematical audiences, as well as with mathematicians.

In 1976 Grünbaum won a Lester R. Ford Award for his expository article Venn diagrams and independent families of sets.[5] In 2004, Gil Kalai and Victor Klee edited a special issue of Discrete and Computational Geometry in his honor, the "Grünbaum Festschrift". In 2005, Grünbaum was awarded the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition from the American Mathematical Society. He was a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fellow of the AAAS and in 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6][7] Grünbaum supervised 19 Ph.D.s and currently has at least 200 mathematical descendants.[3]

Works

Grünbaum authored over 200 papers, mostly in discrete geometry, an area in which he is known for various classification theorems. He wrote on the theory of abstract polyhedra.

His paper on line arrangements may have inspired a paper by N. G. de Bruijn on quasiperiodic tilings (the most famous example of which is the Penrose tiling of the plane). This paper is also cited by the authors of a monograph on hyperplane arrangements as having inspired their research.

Y box binding protein 1

Given the differential sensitivity of muscle fiber types to atrophy, the HuR mediated specification of glycolytic type II fibers raise the possibility that HuR expression can be targeted (Page | 14) therapeutically in skeletal muscles to combat conditions such as, DMD, denervation, disuse, and cancer cachexia, where wasting of type II fiber is favored.

DMD = Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. Males have only one copy of the X chromosome from their mother and one copy of the Y chromosome from their father. If their X chromosome has a DMD gene mutation, they will have Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

What's with HuR?

Human antigen R (HuR; encoded by the Elavl1 gene) is an RNA binding protein that binds to AU-rich regions in the 3′-untranslated region of many different mRNAs, including many involved in inflammation, cell growth, and fibrosis, and it directly regulates the expression of target mRNA through modulation of its stability

Type 2 A: Fast oxidative (FO) fibers have fast contractions and primarily use aerobic respiration, but because they may switch to anaerobic respiration (glycolysis), can fatigue more quickly than SO fibers. Type 2 B: Fast glycolytic (FG) fibers have fast contractions and primarily use anaerobic glycolysis.

A rare genetic mutation that causes a form of muscular dystrophy affecting the limbs also protects against HIV infection
 The RNA binding protein (RBP) HuR (Human Antigen R) has been shown to play a prominent role in this process by stabilizing several promyogenic mRNAs including MyoD and Myog, as well as the cell cycle inhibitor p216,11. HuR has been previously shown to regulate its mRNA targets in several cell systems by collaborating/competing with additional trans-acting factors including RNA binding proteins (RBP) and micro RNAs (miRNAs). Although we have shown that this is also the case in muscle cells12, the identity of the complete network of trans-acting factors, as well as the mechanisms through which they affect the pro-myogenic function, remains elusive. In this thesis I have explored the molecular mechanisms through which HuR mediates the integrity,composition and function of skeletal muscle tissue both in vitro and in vivo Chapter I describes how HuR, via a novel mRNA destabilizing activity, promotes the early steps of myogenesis by reducing the expression of the cell cycle promoter Page | 13

The NPM1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called nucleophosmin, which is found in a small region inside the nucleus of the cell called the nucleolus. Nucleophosmin shuttles back and forth between the nucleus and the fluid surrounding it (the cytoplasm).

Nucleophosmin

Nucleophosmin (NPM) is often mutated in cytogenetically normal AML and is unique in that it has both oncogenic and tumor suppressor functions.

Destabilization of Nucleophosmin mRNA by the HuR/KSRP complex is required for muscle fiber formation. Nature Communications, 2014.
 
We show that HuR, via a novel mRNA destabilizing activity, promotes the early steps of myogenesis by reducing the expression of the cell cycle promoter NPM.  HuR mediated destabilization of NPM mRNA involves the association of HuR with the decay factor KSRP as well as the ribonuclease PARN and the exosome.
 
CHAPTER II: Cooperativity between YB1 and HuR is necessary to regulate Myogenin mRNA stability during muscle fiber formation.
 
 
We show that YB1 and HuR cooperate to promote the stability of Myog mRNA during the preterminal stage of myogenesis and that this interaction is necessary to sustain the integrity of skeletal muscle fibers.
 
The cooperativity between YB1 and HuR provides further precedence indicating that a general mechanism through which HuR differentially modulates the expression of its mRNA targets during muscle fiber formation is by collaborating or competing with other trans-acting factors

Our data indicate that H19 operates as a molecular scaffold that facilitates effective association of KSRP with myogenin and other labile transcripts and we propose that H19 works with KSRP to optimize an AKT-regulated post-transcriptional switch that controls myogenic differentiation.

Human antigen R (HuR; encoded by the Elavl1 gene) is an RNA binding protein that binds to AU-rich regions in the 3′-untranslated region of many different mRNAs, including many involved in inflammation, cell growth, and fibrosis, and it directly regulates the expression of target mRNA through modulation of its stability

YAML

YAML (/ˈjæməl/ and YAH-ml) (see § History and name) is a human-readable data-serialization language. It is commonly used for configuration files and in applications where data is being stored or transmitted. YAML targets many of the same communications applications as Extensible Markup Language (XML) but has a minimal syntax which intentionally differs from SGML.[1] It uses both Python-style indentation to indicate nesting, and a more compact format that uses [...] for lists and {...} for maps[1] thus JSON files are valid YAML 1.2.[2]

MTA types

Three types of MTAs are most common at academic institutions: transfer between academic or research institutions, transfer from academia to industry and transfer from industry to academia. Each calls for different terms and conditions.[1]

For simple transfers not involving intellectual property, the NIH recommends a Simple Letter Agreement. For materials that may be patented or for which more protection is desired, the Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement (UBMTA) can be used. Many U.S. educational institutions have signed the UBMTA Master Agreement.[2] AUTM (previously the Association of University Technology Managers) serves as the repository for the original UBMTA Master Agreements and maintains the list of the signatories. [3] Signatories to the UBMTA only have to sign an Implementing Letter with the details of the particular transfer since they have already agreed to all the terms of the Master Agreement.

A Material Transfer Agreement is an agreement under which a quantity of a unique, specialized or experimental material (natural or synthetic) may be transferred between the Federal laboratory and another party for commercial evaluation, testing or other uses with or without reimbursement, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 3710a (b) (3) (A) and other applicable bureau authorities.

DLL injection

In computer programming, DLL injection is a technique used for running code within the address space of another process by forcing it to load a dynamic-link library.[1] DLL injection is often used by external programs to influence the behavior of another program in a way its authors did not anticipate or intend.[1][2][3] For example, the injected code could hook system function calls,[4][5] or read the contents of password textboxes, which cannot be done the usual way.[6] A program used to inject arbitrary code into arbitrary processes is called a DLL injector.

Z-pinch

In fusion power research, the Z-pinch (zeta pinch) is a type of plasma confinement system that uses an electric current in the plasma to generate a magnetic field that compresses it (see pinch). These systems were originally referred to simply as pinch or Bennett pinch (after Willard Harrison Bennett), but the introduction of the θ-pinch (theta pinch) concept led to the need for clearer, more precise terminology.

The name refers to the direction of the current in the devices, the Z-axis on a normal three-dimensional graph. Any machine that causes a pinch effect due to current running in that direction is correctly referred to as a Z-pinch system, and this encompasses a wide variety of devices used for an equally wide variety of purposes. Early uses focused on fusion research in donut-shaped tubes with the Z-axis running down the inside the tube, while modern devices are generally cylindrical and used to generate high-intensity x-ray sources for the study of nuclear weapons and other roles. It is one of the first approaches to fusion power devices, along with the stellarator and magnetic mirror.

 Trihexagonal tiling

The term kagome lattice was coined by Japanese physicist Kôdi Husimi, and first appeared in a 1951 paper by his assistant Ichirō Shōji. The kagome lattice in this sense consists of the vertices and edges of the trihexagonal tiling. Despite the name, these crossing points do not form a mathematical lattice.

A related three dimensional structure formed by the vertices and edges of the quarter cubic honeycomb, filling space by regular tetrahedra and truncated tetrahedra, has been called a hyper-kagome lattice. It is represented by the vertices and edges of the quarter cubic honeycomb, filling space by regular tetrahedra and truncated tetrahedra. It contains four sets of parallel planes of points and lines, each plane being a two dimensional kagome lattice. A second expression in three dimensions has parallel layers of two dimensional lattices and is called an orthorhombic-kagome lattice. The trihexagonal prismatic honeycomb represents its edges and vertices.

Some minerals, namely jarosites and herbertsmithite, contain two-dimensional layers or three-dimensional kagome lattice arrangement of atoms in their crystal structure. These minerals display novel physical properties connected with geometrically frustrated magnetism. For instance, the spin arrangement of the magnetic ions in Co3V2O8 rests in a kagome lattice which exhibits fascinating magnetic behavior at low temperatures. Quantum magnets realized on Kagome lattices have been discovered to exhibit many unexpected electronic and magnetic phenomena.

The term is much in use nowadays in the scientific literature, especially by theorists studying the magnetic properties of a theoretical kagome lattice.

Cavity magnetron

The cavity magnetron is a high-power vacuum tube used in early radar systems and currently in microwave ovens and linear particle accelerators. It generates microwaves using the interaction of a stream of electrons with a magnetic field while moving past a series of cavity resonators, which are small, open cavities in a metal block. Electrons pass by the cavities and cause microwaves to oscillate within, similar to the functioning of a whistle producing a tone when excited by an air stream blown past its opening. The resonant frequency of the arrangement is determined by the cavities' physical dimensions. Unlike other vacuum tubes, such as a klystron or a traveling-wave tube (TWT), the magnetron cannot function as an amplifier for increasing the intensity of an applied microwave signal; the magnetron serves solely as an oscillator, generating a microwave signal from direct current electricity supplied to the vacuum tube.

Aggregate behavior

In economics, aggregate behavior refers to economy-wide sums of individual behavior. It involves relationships between economic aggregates such as national income, government expenditure and aggregate demand. For example, the consumption function is a relationship between aggregate demand for consumption and aggregate disposable income.

Models of aggregate behavior may be derived from direct observation of the economy, or from models of individual behavior. Theories of aggregate behavior are central to macroeconomics.

Homotopy theory

In mathematics, and more specifically in algebraic topology and polyhedral combinatorics, the Euler characteristic (or Euler number, or Euler–Poincaré characteristic) is a topological invariant, a number that describes a topological space's shape or structure regardless of the way it is bent. It is commonly denoted by (Greek lower-case letter chi).

The Euler characteristic was originally defined for polyhedra and used to prove various theorems about them, including the classification of the Platonic solids. It was stated for Platonic solids in 1537 in an unpublished manuscript by Francesco Maurolico.[1] Leonhard Euler, for whom the concept is named, introduced it for convex polyhedra more generally but failed to rigorously prove that it is an invariant. In modern mathematics, the Euler characteristic arises from homology and, more abstractly, homological algebra.

What is invoice factoring? Technically, invoice factoring is not a loan. Rather, you sell your invoices at a discount to a factoring company in exchange for a lump sum of cash. The factoring company then owns the invoices and gets paid when it collects from your customers, typically in 30 to 90 days.

Selling receivables is an alternative financing option commonly known as invoice factoring. Once you are approved for funding, the receivable factoring process is simple: The factoring company buys the invoice. You receive a portion of the invoice, usually 70-90%, ahead of the net terms.

The law of one price (LOOP) states that in the absence of trade frictions (such as transport costs and tariffs), and under conditions of free competition and price flexibility (where no individual sellers or buyers have power to manipulate prices and prices can freely adjust), identical goods sold in different locations must sell for the same price when prices are expressed in a common currency.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] This law is derived from the assumption of the inevitable elimination of all arbitrage.

Most metals aren't magnetic with the exception of iron, nickel, cobalt, gadolinium, neodymium and samarium. Because Nickel (Ni) is ferromagnetic it is used in making Alnico magnets (consisting of aluminium, nickel, and cobalt). Magnetic alloys have become common, especially in the form of steel (iron and carbon), alnico (iron, nickel, cobalt, and aluminum), and permalloy (iron and nickel).

Car tyres produce vastly more particle pollution than exhausts, tests show

Toxic particles from tyre wear almost 2,000 times worse than from exhausts as weight of cars increases

When a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the flow of electric current, a transverse voltage develops across the material. Initially discovered in 1879, this is known as the Hall effect. ... Known as the quantum Hall effect, these states, observed in two-dimensional structures, corresponded to new states of matter.

Former Secretary of Energy

The Grid Modernization Initiative (GMI) works across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to create the modern grid of the future. Our extensive, reliable power grid has fueled the nation’s growth since the early 1900s; however, the grid we have today does not have the attributes necessary to meet the demands of the 21st century and beyond.

Grid Modernization

Grid modernization is BPA’s sole key strategic initiative.

The Bonneville Power Administration is a nonprofit federal power marketing administration based in the Pacific Northwest. Although BPA is part of the U.S. Department of Energy, it is self-funding and covers its costs by selling its products and services. BPA markets wholesale electrical power from 31 federal hydroelectric projects in the Northwest, one nonfederal nuclear plant and several small nonfederal power plants. The dams are operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation. The nonfederal nuclear plant, Columbia Generating Station, is owned and operated by Energy Northwest, a joint operating agency of the state of Washington. BPA provides about 28 percent of the electric power used in the Northwest and its resources — primarily hydroelectric — make BPA power nearly carbon free

Grid modernization is BPA’s sole key strategic initiative. This work is essential for the agency to remain the region’s wholesale power provider of choice amidst the changing electric utility landscape. The grid modernization portfolio includes 35 projects designed to increase automation, improve accuracy and enhance visibility into how the federal power and transmission systems are functioning in real time, to ultimately enhance the optimization and reliability of the grid. These projects will enable BPA to leverage new technologies to improve workplace efficiencies and keep pace with the evolving Western electricity market, allowing us and the region to seek new opportunities for marketing power and transmission products and services well into the future.
 
How are grid modernization projects integrated into everyday business at BPA?
 
Through a portfolio framework called Identify, Define, Integrate and Deliver (IDID), project teams are required to identify how the will integrate into existing processes or how they will be launched, and which organizations will be impacted if the project creates new processes or organizations.

The bishop chess piece moves in any direction diagonally. Chess rules state that there is no limit to the number of squares a bishop can travel on the chessboard, as long as there is not another piece obstructing its path. Bishops capture opposing pieces by landing on the square occupied by an enemy piece.

Using a knowledge graph for reasoning over data

A knowledge graph formally represents semantics by describing entities and their relationships.[17] Knowledge graphs may make use of ontologies as a schema layer. By doing this, they allow logical inference for retrieving implicit knowledge rather than only allowing queries requesting explicit knowledge.[18]

In order to allow the use of knowledge graphs in various machine learning tasks, several methods for deriving latent feature representations of entities and relations have been devised. These knowledge graph embeddings allow them to be connected to machine learning methods that require feature vectors like word embeddings. This can complement other estimates of conceptual similarity.

Knowledge economy

Purple economy

The purple economy is that part of the economy which contributes to sustainable development by promoting the cultural potential of goods and services.

“The purple economy refers to taking account of cultural aspects in economics. It designates an economy that adapts to the human diversity in globalization and that relies on the cultural dimension to give value to goods and services.”

Knowledge workers are workers whose main capital is knowledge. Examples include programmers, physicians, pharmacists, architects, engineers, scientists, design thinkers, public accountants, lawyers, editors, and academics, whose job is to "think for a living".[1]

Know Nothing

The Know Nothings were a nativist political party and movement in the United States in the mid-1850s. The party was officially known as the "Native American Party" prior to 1855 and thereafter, it was simply known as the "American Party".

The coat of arms of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) was adopted on 10 July 1918 by the government of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Soviet Union), and modified several times afterwards. It shows wheat as the symbol of agriculture, a rising sun for the future of the Russian nation, the red star (the RSFSR was the last Soviet Republic to include the star in its state emblem, in 1978) as well as the hammer and sickle for the victory of Communism and the "world-wide socialist community of states".

The New Testament quotes Jesus as saying that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God". It also appears in the Qur'an 7:40, "Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them – the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle. And thus do We recompense the criminals."

What Is Asymmetric Information?

Asymmetric information, also known as "information failure," occurs when one party to an economic transaction possesses greater material knowledge than the other party. This typically manifests when the seller of a good or service possesses greater knowledge than the buyer; however, the reverse dynamic is also possible. Almost all economic transactions involve information asymmetries.

Arhat

In Buddhism, an arhat (Sanskrit: अर्हत्) or arahant (Pali: अरहन्त) is one who has gained insight into the true nature of existence and has achieved nirvana.[1][2] Mahayana Buddhist traditions have used the term for people far advanced along the path of Enlightenment, but who may not have reached full Buddhahood.

It from bit?

Ibn al-Haytham

Gautama reduces the curse on his "faithful wife" and she is redeemed when she joins the Gautami (Godavari) river as a stream. Indra is cursed to carry his shame in the form of a thousand vulvae on his body, but the vulvae turn into eyes as he bathes in the Gautami.

Indra and Zeus- The Hindu and Greek Rain Gods

Zeus as well was very naughty and there are myths of divine costs for such actions or karma. There are costs for cheating and not just having eyes for your spouse. This story of cheating on your spouse is a favorite of mine. It helps explain the moral ethical wrongs of lying and cheating with infedelity being led by lower animal energy. It is a bit shocking and crude for some westerners as it addresses issues quite bluntly.

How Lord Indra's Body Covered With Vaginas Later Became eyes

How did Indra get 1000 eyes?
Indra with 1000 vaginas embedded on his body, starts penance to God Shiva and asks Shiva to forgive him. And Indra says that , he will never ever repeat such sin in the future and he is shameful for his lust. Then Shiva relieves Indra from the curse and thus the 1000 vaginas on Indra's body transform into 1000 eyes. James 4:4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

In 1948, Rauff was moved to Damascus, Syria where he had the position as a technical advisor to the secret police and chief bodyguard of the President. In 1949, the rat-lines arranged his transfer to Ecuador, after which he settled in Chile. In 1962, the West German government requested his extradition, but the Supreme Court of Chile ruled that since his crimes were "essentially political in nature," he could not be extradited. The ruling was upheld in 1973, just before the coup against Allende.

The other major Nazi war criminal who participated in Operation Condor was Klaus Barbie, the "Butcher of Lyon." Barbie was protected by and worked for the Dulles faction of U.S. intelligence in Germany until 1951, when he was smuggled via the Nazi rat-lines to South America, where he played a critical role in Operation Condor.

In pursuit of Bolivia's secret Nazi

After the war, Barbie fled from France back to Germany, where he worked for the British until April 1947, when he was recruited by the Dulles-controlled faction of the U.S. Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC). He was described by Robert S. Taylor, the CIC officer who recruited him, as "an honest man, both intellectually and personally, absolutely without nerves or fear. He is strongly anti-Communist and a Nazi idealist, who believes that he and his beliefs were betrayed by the Nazis in power."

How Wall St. Bailed Out the Nazis

From the Archive: Official Washington dismisses any reference to Ukraine’s neo-Nazis as “Russian propaganda” because everyone knows that no respectable U.S. leader would get in bed with such people. But Wall Street bankers didn’t have such qualms, Jerry Meldon reported in 2013.
 
By Jerry Meldon (Originally published on June 6, 2013)

In 1919 Bush was introduced by W. Averell Harriman to his business partner, George Herbert Walker. Later that year, Bush was introduced to Walker's daughter, Dorothy. The couple married in August, 1921. Bush and his new wife moved to Columbus, Ohio, and went to work for his father's family business.

In 1926, Bush's father-in-law, appointed him vice-president of W. A. Harriman & Company. This company had made considerable investments in Germany. At the end of the war, the commercial steamships of Hamburg-Amerika were confiscated by the United States government. As the authors of George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography have pointed out: "These ships had then become the property of the Harriman enterprise, by some arrangements with the U.S. authorities that were never made public." In doing so, Harriman created the world's largest private shipping line.

Samuel Pryor, the chairman of Remington Arms, and George Herbert Walker, both became directors of the American Ship and Commerce Company, Harriman's shipping front organization. Walker and Harriman set up their European headquarters in Berlin. With the help of the Warburg Bank, W. A. Harriman began to invest heavily in German industry.

In 1926 Prescott Bush became vice president of W. A. Harriman & Company. Soon afterwards the company expanded into the Soviet Union. After negotiations with Leon Trotsky and Felix Dzerzhinsky, Harriman obtained a contract to mine manganese. In 1927 the company was criticized for its support of totalitarian governments in Italy and the Soviet Union. George Herbert Walker wrote to W. Averell Harriman pointing out that "the suggestion... that we withdraw from Russia smacks some what of the impertinent.. I think that we have drawn our line and should hew to it" (11th August, 1927).

W. Averell Harriman also formed a partnership with the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen. In 1926 Harriman and Clarence Dillon of Dillon Read Company helped Thyssen and Friedrich Flick to establish the German Steel Trust. According to Anton Chaitkin: "The Flick-Harriman partnership was directly supervised by Prescott Bush". Dillon Read provided two representatives to the board of the German Steel Trust and took responsibility for its corporate banking.

In 1928 Thyssen formed United Steelworks, a company that controlled more that 75 per cent of Germany's ore reserves and employed 200,000 people. Thyssen started a joint-venture with Harriman called the Union Banking Corporation. This was used to transfer funds between the United States and Germany. In 1931 W.A. Harriman & Company merged with the British-American banking house Brown Brothers. Prescott Bush, along with W. Averell Harriman, E. Roland Harriman and George Herbert Walker, became managing partners in the new company, Brown Brothers Harriman. This was to develop into the most important private banking house in America.

Prescott Bush was appointed as a director of the Harriman Fifteen Corporation. This in turn controlled the Consolidated Silesian Steel Corporation, that owned one-third of a complex of steel-making, coal-mining and zinc-mining activities in Germany and Poland. Friedrich Flick owned the other two-thirds of the operation. Flick was a leading financial supporter of the Nazi Party and in the 1930s donated over seven million marks to the party. A close friend of Heinrich Himmler, Flick also gave the Schutz Staffeinel (SS) 10,000 marks a year.

Fritz Thyssen was also one of the leading backers of the Nazi Party. In 1931 he recruited Hjalmar Schacht to the cause and in November, 1932, the two men joined with other industrialists in signing the letter that urged Paul von Hindenburg to appoint Adolf Hitler as chancellor. This was successful and on 20th February, 1933, they arranged a meeting of the Association of German Industrialists that raised 3 million marks for the Nazi Party in the forthcoming election.

On 27th February, 1933, someone set fire to the Reichstag. Several people were arrested including a leading, Georgi Dimitrov, general secretary of the Comintern, the international communist organization. Dimitrov was eventually acquitted but a young man from the Netherlands, Marianus van der Lubbe, was eventually executed for the crime. As a teenager Lubbe had been a communist and Hermann Goering used this information to claim that the Reichstag Fire was part of a KPD plot to overthrow the government.

Hitler gave orders that all leaders of the German Communist Party should "be hanged that very night." Paul von Hindenburg vetoed this decision but did agree that Hitler should take "dictatorial powers". KPD candidates in the election were arrested and Hermann Goering announced that the Nazi Party planned "to exterminate" German communists. Thousands of members of the Social Democrat Party and Communist Party were arrested and sent to recently opened to concentration camps.

Left-wing election meetings were broken up by the Sturm Abteilung (SA) and several candidates were murdered. Newspapers that supported these political parties were closed down during the 1933 General Election. Although it was extremely difficult for the opposition parties to campaign properly, Hitler and the Nazi party still failed to win an overall victory in the election on 5th March, 1933. The NSDAP received 43.9% of the vote and only 288 seats out of the available 647. The increase in the Nazi vote had mainly come from the Catholic rural areas who feared the possibility of an atheistic Communist government.

After the 1933 General Election Hitler proposed an Enabling Bill that would give him dictatorial powers. Such an act needed three-quarters of the members of the Reichstag to vote in its favour. All the active members of the Communist Party, were in concentration camps, in hiding, or had left the country (an estimated 60,000 people left Germany during the first few weeks after the election). This was also true of most of the leaders of the other left-wing party, Social Democrat Party (SDP). However, Hitler still needed the support of the Catholic Centre Party (BVP) to pass this legislation. Hitler therefore offered the BVP a deal: vote for the bill and the Nazi government would guarantee the rights of the Catholic Church. The BVP agreed and when the vote was taken, only 94 members of the SDP voted against the Enabling Bill.

Soviet Spies: Did They Make a Difference

Fox v. Rothschild 21 Century banking

Thomas H. McKittrick

VENONA, Harry Dexter White, and Alger Hiss

Many on the left have referred to the post-war prosecutions of Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs as “show trials,” alleging that their underlying purpose was not to determine guilt or innocence, but to influence public opinion by publicizing a guilt already determined, as a warning against dissent. But the spy scare of the 1940s was at least partly genuine, based largely on evidence from the newly translated VENONA record of Soviet transmissions. It is certain that VENONA intercepts helped identify and convict spies such as Judith Coplon, even though, for security reasons, these intercepts were not introduced at their trials.13

VENONA evidence also was used to raise suspicions about two other suspects, senior Treasury official Harry Dexter White and Alger Hiss. However the VENONA evidence against these two men is still fiercely debated. And the campaign against both men was not powered by security concerns alone. In part at least also it was a by-product of a deeper conflict over the future of America -- between Wall Street (represented by the Dulles brothers) and the remnants of the New Deal (represented by White, a principal architect of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.)

The Dulles brothers, as lawyers at Sullivan and Cromwell, had played key roles in the inter-war western financing and refinancing of German debt. A primary bank in these transactions was the British merchant bank J. Henry Schröder and its American subsidiary the J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation, where Allen Dulles served as director and his brother as attorney. A web of international banking connections was created between the wars; and much of this web “was connected to the BIS [Bank of International Settlements], via the Dulles brothers and their friends on Wall Street and in London and Germany.”14

Roosevelt New dealers like Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau and his assistant White intended to dismantle this complex network with German banks and corporations after World War II: in particular, they “loathed the BIS, seeing it, correctly, as a channel for the perpetuation of Nazi economic interests in the United States.”15 Their principal target was the wartime BIS president Thomas McKittrick (formerly of the Boston banking firm Lee, Higginson)– rightly so, in the opinion of Adam Lebor, who writes that “many of the things that McKittrick was doing, such as gold and foreign exchange deals with the Reichsbank after Pearl Harbor, were treasonable.” Lebor adds that McKittrick, a personal friend of Allen Dulles, came to New York and hired an attorney “to persuade the Treasury to unblock the BIS’s funds. His choice was never in doubt: John Foster Dulles.”16

In July 1944, at Bretton Woods, Morgenthau and White led the American delegation at the conference which successfully established the International Monetary Fund, where White eventually became the executive director and U.S. representative. With the IMF at the center of the new international system, the two men also

wanted the BIS to be abolished. On July 10, 1944, they seemed about to get their wish. Wilhelm Keilhau, of the Norwegian delegation, introduced a motion to liquidate the BIS…. No delegation spoke publicly in defense of the BIS. But behind the scenes its defenders – sections of the State Department, Wall Street, the Bank of England… went into action…. Eventually a new Norwegian-Dutch resolution calling for the liquidation of the bank at “the earliest possible moment” was finally agreed.17

he Morgenthau-White opposition to the BIS was consistent with their support of the Morgenthau Plan, endorsed by Roosevelt and Churchill at Quebec, which called for the partial deindustrialization of Germany. Though this extreme proposal was soon modified, Truman in May 1945 approved JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff policy) 1067, which directed the U.S. forces of occupation in Germany to "...take no steps looking toward the economic rehabilitation of Germany or designed to maintain or strengthen the German economy."18

But both McKittrick and Allen Dulles had a quite antithetical vision for Germany – that its economy should indeed be restored, strengthened, and eventually made the underpinning for a more united Western Europe. We know from an OSS communication to Allen Dulles that, even before the end of the war, McKittrick as president of the BIS “had already concluded an agreement [with German industrialists!] to ‘preserve the industrial substance of the Reich.’”19

Thus “Dulles and others began to campaign against…JCS 1067,” and for its replacement by what later came to be known as the Marshall Plan.20 By mid-1947 the remnants of Morgenthau’s deindustrialization program

had been so watered down by General Lucius Clay, the American commander of occupation forces, that it was meaningless…. Washington’s JSC Directive 1779, passed in the summer of 1947, institutionalized this change in policy. German industry would be rebuilt; its steel mills and forges would once again be the powerhouse of Europe.21

Who Was Guilty of Treason? McKittrick or White?

  Serenity inside Sells ventures, lease options and charters from Texas By David Vincent Bell Hirsch Frank Zappa - Valley Girl Valleytronics (from valley and electronics) is an experimental area in semiconductors that exploits local minima ("valleys") in the electronic band structure . Certain semiconductors have multiple "valleys" in the electronic band structure of the first Brillouin zone , and are known as multivalley semiconductors. [1] [2] Valleytronics is the technology of control over the valley degree of freedom, a local maximum/minimum on the valence / conduction band , of such multivalley semiconductors. The term was coined in analogy to spintronics . While in spintronics the internal degree of freedom of spin is harnessed to store, manipulate and read out bits of information, the proposal for valleytronics is to perform similar tasks using the multiple extrema of the band structure, so that the information of 0s and 1s would be stored as diff

Inclusive considerations for Constitutional Freedom of Religion as a convention of our society in the United States has many tangents of consideration: Shahid and Shaheed (Arabic: شهيد ‎ šahīd , plural: شُهَدَاء šuhadāʾ  ; female: šahīda ) originates from the Quranic Arabic word meaning "witness" and is also used to denote a martyr.  The word shahid in Arabic means "witness".
