Marc Chagall, the Russian Jewish artist, at work in his studio in southern France. Gords, France, 1940.

Marc Chagall

In 1933, Nazi students at more than 30 German universities pillaged libraries in search of books they considered to be "un-German." Among the writings thrown into the flames were political texts, literature, and even art books by or about such noted figures as Marc Chagall.

If a painter is a Jew and paints life, how is he to keep Jewish elements out of his work! But if he is a good painter, his painting will contain a great deal more. The Jewish content will be there, of course, but his art will aim at universal relevance.
—Marc Chagall, 1933

Monographs about Chagall

Who was Marc Chagall?

Artist Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was born to a Hasidic Jewish family in Vitebsk, Russia. Many of his works include broad, rich colors and imagery of Russian and Jewish provincial life. After Chagall and his family settled in Paris in 1923, his works gained popularity within Europe. However, Chagall's Jewish subject matter and non-realistic style made him an outcast to the Nazis, who burned monographs about his work during the book burnings of 1933. The Nazis also confiscated his works from various museums and displayed many of them in a "Degenerate Art" exhibition in Munich in 1937. Fearing persecution upon the Nazi invasion of France in 1940, Chagall fled with his family to New York. He returned to France in 1948.

Critical Thinking Questions

  • How did the German public react to the book burnings? What were some of the reactions outside of Germany?
  • Why do oppressive regimes promote or support censorship and book burning? How might this be a warning sign of mass atrocity?

Too much LNG: Here are the producers better positioned to cut output as COVID-19 erases profits

Source: press release, 13 May 2020

SRMC (DES Asia) of operating liquefaction projects, including liquids revenues, 2020 (source: Rystad Energy GasMarketCube, UCube)
SRMC (DES Asia) of operating liquefaction projects, including liquids revenues, 2020 (source: Rystad Energy GasMarketCube, UCube)

As global liquefied natural gas (LNG) benchmark prices continue to fall due to oversupply on account of COVID-19, LNG producers with short-run marginal costs (SMRCs) that exceed spot prices are increasingly looking to curtail production.

A Rystad Energy analysis finds that those best positioned to reduce volumes while suffering the least possible financial damage are APAC LNG terminals, specifically the Eastern Australia projects and NWS LNG, plus some US plants that have been operational for a longer period of time such as Sabine Pass and Cove Point.

These US facilities were built during recent bullish sentiment which expected sustained demand growth from APAC buyers; medium sized compressors offered a good mix of low unit production costs and relatively low gas quality variation (i.e. low liquids content). These same factors are now working against producers and, with relatively little arbitrage between feed gas prices and their target customers’ benchmarks, it would appear the most economic option for them will be to ramp down production.

This means that they will have some capability to reduce LNG production without fully shuttering facilities and could keep some trains online to continue producing vital ethane in preparation for restarting, should prices rise in the mid-term.

Additionally, APAC LNG terminals have high feed gas costs, low liquid revenues and smaller LNG compression strings that make them strong candidates for curtailing production.

“The word of caution on taking this course of action is that pulling this lever requires a clear exit strategy with a defined threshold in gas prices, at which point renewed production would make economic sense once again – ramping up only to have to halt production again months later could spell disaster,” says Dane Inglis, analyst at Rystad Energy.

The problem producers face is that since the industry’s inception, liquefaction facilities have been designed to run at maximum capacity almost continuously with little capability to throttle production rates. Rystad Energy attributes this to two key reasons: one technical and one commercial.

Technical: Liquefaction terminals tend to use gas-fired turbines to drive compression trains (although this is changing with some facilities considering fully-electric compression strings and sourcing power from the grid), making it very difficult to run these turbines at different power loads.

Commercial: There is a strong relationship between production and unit cost. The marginal cost of production on-site is low, with the bulk of cost relatively fixed, propelled by power costs to drive the turbines – which is itself a function of the inlet feed gas cost. Producing one unit of gas less does not result in a linear unit cost decline and could even mean costs remain the same.

As such, LNG producers whose SRMC of production exceeds spot prices in a target market generally have limited options: fully shut, partly shut, or undergo uptime cycling.

Shutting a terminal would be considered the absolute last resort for a cash-strapped LNG producer, and is a move that would only be undertaken if prices are not expected to become profitable for a long period. The obvious drawback of restarting an LNG plant is that the commissioning of the facility is highly complex. Recent facility start-ups suggest that the full exercise to reach regular cargo exports could last anywhere from between nine and 15 weeks.

If the facility operates parallel compressor strings, then shutting off one would allow producers to maintain some strings and therefore either maintain production (and some revenue) or maintain the internal temperature of the Main Cryogenic Heat Exchanger (MCHE), so that start-up in the future would be relatively low cost and quick.

Uptime Cycling is also an option for producers to recycle gas, keeping the facility prepared to begin LNG exports in a relatively short time frame. This is cheaper than exporting LNG at a loss but more expensive than shutting the facility completely.

Awaken with Meditation

Beginning to Advanced Meditation Instruction

– For accelerating personal growth, awakening to higher levels, mastering life.

Meditation is the training of attention so as to cause specific highly beneficial effects in oneself and one’s life. Proper meditation leads to personal liberation from suffering, mastery of life and circumstances, superconsciousness, the awakening of higher abilities of consciousness, and direct access to unlimited happiness within.

An effective path of meditation is composed of several subpaths:
1. The Path of Virtue Cultivation (Character Balancing and Building)
2. The Path of Absorption (Concentration/Samatha/Samadhi)
3. The Path of Insight (Realization/Understanding/Vipassana)
4. The Path of Energy Mastery (Cultivation of Vitality and Energies of Consciousness)
5. The Path of Reality Creation (Adjusting Karma, White Magic)

Individualized Meditation Instruction
Learn to meditate in the way that is uniquely right for you. No one technique will work for everybody. When you have the right meditation practice that suites your individual nature and current range of consciousness then meditation is relatively easy, effective and highly rewarding.

Initial Instruction includes:
1. Initial Interview – determining what types of practices are uniquely right for you.
2. Initial Instruction Session – teaching and guiding you in these practices so that you can do them independently.
3. Follow-Up Instruction Session – answering any questions and refining your practice.

Continuing Instruction Sessions once every two weeks is ideal for the most rapid progress, or, are then available as you need or want them. An hour session every two weeks is a standard training route to higher and higher levels of: skill, consciousness, joy/bliss/inner satisfaction, enlightened liberation, and supernormal abilities.

The requirement for the Meditation Instruction is: the commitment to meditate at least 30 minutes per day.

Test: measuring the hardness between the rotor stages after the hardening

rotor_stages_after_the_hardening.jpgCustomer: a plant from Saint-Petersburg specialized in the production of equipment for hydraulic, nuclear, thermal, and gas turbine power plants.

Task description: for the first time the manufacturer faced the necessity to make Brinell hardness testing between the second and third stages of the rotor after the hardening. The distance between the stages is 81 mm. The customer's representative did not inform about the hardening depth.

To control the hardness of other equipment parts the manufacturer used the UCI Hardness tester TKM‑459CE since 2018. However, it is not possible to measure the given area of 145 mm with the standard sensor “A”.

Proposed solution: we offered to equip the device available at the plant with sensor "K" that has a smaller weight load of 10H, and which will:

  • provide a high-quality result, even if the hardening thickness is less than 100 mcm;
  • require less effort of the operator to press the sensor into the surface (important in case of an uncomfortable hand position);
  • suitable for work in confined spaces between rotor stages thanks to a short body of 76 mm.

Demonstration: the customer invited our experts to make a test measurement.

Before measuring a test block was used to check its performance with the new “K” probe. No extra calibration of the device was required.

The readings of the hardness tester obtained after the measurements of the needed rotor segment turned out to be within valid margins (190 – 240 HB on an unprepared surface). The representatives of the manufacturer were satisfied with the results.

Results: the customer decided to purchase the “K” probe with the weight load of 10H.

Consequences of the coronacrisis for the annual accounts and the auditor's report

23 March 2020 - Now that the coronacrisis is also having enormous consequences in the Netherlands, there are also consequences for the content of the annual accounts (and the management report), the manner in which they are drawn up and the auditor's report issued on them. This note briefly mentions a few relevant topics in that context.

For annual accounts relating to the calendar year 2019, the coronavirus will not lead to a different treatment and valuation of assets and liabilities. This is because the coronavirus does not provide any further information on the situation as at the balance sheet date. This may, of course, be different if the company has significant activities (whether or not through a stake) in areas already affected by the coronavirus in 2019.

This means that the coronavirus is only disclosed under 'Events after the balance sheet date' in the annual accounts. The management report also explains the main risks and uncertainties related to the coronavirus.

The rapid developments with regard to the coronavirus continuously lead to new insights and measures. This may mean that between the time the annual accounts are drawn up (dated) (and the auditor's report is issued) and the time the annual accounts are adopted by the general meeting, new facts and circumstances appear that require adjustment of the annual accounts. This requires timely and careful consultation between management and the auditor. It is important that the annual accounts continue to give a true and fair view of equity and result, including an explanation of events after the balance sheet date.

The coronacrisis may also have consequences for the auditor's report. It makes little difference whether a control, assessment or composition statement is issued. The most common situations are the following:

  • If the crisis leads to serious uncertainty about continuity, the auditor is obliged to pay attention to this in the auditor's report. The auditor refers to the explanation of the continuity uncertainty in the annual accounts;
  • If there are significant events after the balance sheet date (for example devaluation of assets as a result of the coronacrisis), the auditor will address the situation in an explanatory section;
  • There may also be a situation where the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence. For example, because certain locations of the client cannot be visited or foreign auditors called in cannot obtain or provide information. This could possibly lead to a non-approval audit opinion because the auditor is unable to express an opinion on the annual accounts;

The coronacrisis teaches us that there are daily (sometimes major) changes in the policy of organisations and the consequences this has. This also has consequences for the annual accounts and the role of the accountant. It is important for the

management to consult with the auditor in good time and on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that the annual accounts - including the consequences of the coronacrisis - give a true and fair view of the situation in which the company finds itself.

The free dictionary gives this definition for rip on:

give someone a hard time; to hassle someone

and this one for pick on:

to harass or bother someone or something, usually unfairly

It sounds pretty much the same to me, but maybe there's a slight difference I don't catch?

  • 2
    Could be a generation gap here but I think of bullying when I hear "picked on" and to me, "rip on" is something guys do to tease each other but it is in a joking manner, not hostile or serious. – Kristina Lopez Aug 28 '13 at 17:32
  • I've never heard rip on. The dictionaries seem to suggest this is solely US slang. – TrevorD Aug 28 '13 at 18:36
  • Trevor, I haven't heard it either. It is probably limited to American English. – Tristan Aug 28 '13 at 20:30
  • I think it is fairly new here, too. It may be in another 10 years it will land at Heathrow and become part of the culture there, too. – Cyberherbalist Aug 28 '13 at 22:11

Picking on someone implies merely bullying -- unfairly making fun of or harrassing someone because of something they can't help, such as their physical appearance or mannerisms. An example would be a short person being harrassed because of their physical size, or a person with a mole on their face being harrassed or made fun of because of the disfigurement. Or because of their religion or nationality, etc.

Ripping on someone involves severely criticizing their actions or their political positions, or even their work, such as your boss ripping on you for your bad job performance. Ripping may be fair or unfair, but it is generally directed at actions or attitudes.

  • Right. They're different metaphors. Pick on is childish bullying, whereas rip on is verbal abuse (rip a new one). Both themes are perfectly coherent in practically any mix. – John Lawler Aug 28 '13 at 16:55
  • I've found that one who is 'picked on' isn't always 'picked on' for a particular reason. There is often a given reason by the pick-er, but it is equally likely to occur for little to no reason at all, just that the individual they are 'picking on' is a preferred target. – Zibbobz Aug 28 '13 at 16:58
  • That was my experience as well, @Zibbobz. – Cyberherbalist Aug 28 '13 at 17:01
  • @Charles, you didn't need to delete your answer just because you thought mine was better -- there's always room for differing interpretations and points of view. In StackExchange, even the answers not Accepted can provide valuable insight. – Cyberherbalist Aug 28 '13 at 17:03

"Ripping On" is a verbal exchange or a mocking behavior of someone, deriding them for the way they act. Specifically, to put down or belittle their way of acting.

"Picking On" someone means to bully or harass someone. It can be that the person picking on someone else chooses to do so for the reason that they see fault in the way a person acts or behaves, but is not always the case.

"Picking On" can also include physical violence, where "Ripping On" usually does not.

  • In middle school (used to be called Junior High School where I lived then) I used to get picked on because I looked nerdy. The "pickers" never ripped on me. I got ripped on much later when my performance in Army Basic Training didn't match the Drill Sergeant's demands and expectations. – Cyberherbalist Aug 28 '13 at 16:59
  • Picking On also doesn't have to included any form of Ripping On, though it can. As a particular example, in the movie "Back to the Future", the villian Biff Tannen most definitely picks on the lead character's father George McFly, and at the same time rips on him for his behavior. – Zibbobz Aug 28 '13 at 17:08

"Picked on" can also imply something ongoing, or just a general climate of bullying or of being outcast. "I was picked on in school" could mean all through my school years, I was constantly the victim of bullying. (It could also mean "I was picked on in school today.") "Ripped on" is usually confined to describing a particular occurrence.

Review: A Universal History of Iniquity

I suspect A Universal History of Iniquity was the wrong place to start with Borges, which is what happens when you pick up books on a random whim at the library. It was shelved under “Short Stories”; this was a lie. It’s actually a collection of short, pulpy biographical pieces about renowned criminals and con artists from history, including such colourful and varied individuals as Billy the Kid, Arthur Orton (the claimant in the Tichborne case) and female Chinese pirate captain Ching Shih.

They were first published in a newspaper called Critica, which seems to have been the 1930s Argentinian equivalent of The Sun. Which gives you a good idea of what these pieces are like, tonally.

Probably the most interesting thing about them is their truth-value, which, as you’d expect from a writer of Borges’ reputation, is very dubious. As translator Andrew Hurley helpfully explains, Borges plays merry hell with his sources, quoting them extensively in some passages without mentioning it, while fabricating direct quotes elsewhere. (Which is, come to think of it, not unlike the kind of journalism employed in The Sun. YES, I WENT THERE.)

I’m not sure, though, exactly what the point of this is. The pieces themselves feel slight, unstriking, forgettable, if reasonably nicely written; Borges describes them in an introduction as “baroque”,

that style that deliberately exhausts (or tries to exhaust) its own possibilities, and that borders on self-caricature…the final stage in all art, when art flaunts and squanders its resources.

I’d be interested in thinking with this quotation about Gothic texts like Gormenghast or House of Leaves, but I have no idea how to engage with it in the context of A Universal History of Iniquity. The pieces are too insubstantial to claim that they exhaust their own possibilities.

It’s possible that this is all an elaborate joke about the ephemerality of authorship, the flimsiness of authority, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’d enjoy that joke more if I’d actually read any of Borges’ major works. Which I will! A Universal History of Iniquity hasn’t put me off, but it hasn’t exactly whetted my curiosity either.

Did You Know That Dozens of Genetically Modified Babies Have Already Been Born? – How Will They Alter Human Species?

  • As of 2001, 30 children genetically modified children had been born, courtesy of a process in which genes from a female donor are inserted into a woman’s eggs before being fertilized. Two children that were later tested were found to have DNA from three parents—two women and one man
  • No one really knows what the ramifications of having DNA from three parents might be for the individual, or for their subsequent offspring
  • Many follow-up reports continue to tout the high success of this method of treating infertility. But some do warn about the dangers and risks of this procedure. Researchers have found a link between chromosomal anomalies and oocytes manipulation, and one of the babies was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, a spectrum of autism-related diagnoses, at the age of 18 months

By Dr. Mercola

When I first read that genetically modified humans have already been born, I could hardly believe it. However, further research into this story featured in the UK’s Daily Mail1 proved it to be true. They’ve really done it… they’ve created humans that nature could never allow for, and it’s anyone’s guess as to what will happen next.

Even more shocking was the discovery that this is actually old news!

The Daily Mail article was not dated, and upon investigation, the experiments cited actually took place over a decade ago; the study announcing their successful birth was published in 20012.

While I typically comment on recent findings and health related news, in this case I will make an exception, because I think many of you may be as surprised by this information as I was. I do not propose to have any answers here as this is out of my scope of expertise.

At best, I hope I can stir you to ponder the implications of this type of genetic engineering, and I invite you to share your perspective in the vital votes’ comment section below. As reported in the featured article:

“The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series of experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about ethics… Fifteen of the children were born… as a result of one experimental program at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey.

The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes from a female donor were inserted into their eggs before they were fertilized in an attempt to enable them to conceive.

Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year- old children confirm that they have inherited DNA from three adults—two women and one man.”

Human Germline Now Altered… What Happens Next?

Today, these children are in their early teens, and while the original study claims that this was “the first case of human germline genetic modification resulting in normal healthy children,” later reports put such claims of absolute success in dispute. Still, back in 2001, the authors seemed to think they had it all under control, stating:

“These are the first reported cases of germline mtDNA genetic modification which have led to the inheritance of two mtDNA populations in the children resulting from ooplasmic transplantation. These mtDNA fingerprints demonstrate that the transferred mitochondria can be replicated and maintained in the offspring, therefore being a genetic modification without potentially altering mitochondrial function.”

Environmental and
Occupational Health Practice
The Environmental and Occupational Health Practice（EOH-P）is published by the Japan Society for Occupational Health. EOH-P welcoms papers from across the occupational health and allied areas. EOH-P primarily seeks to publish reports on knowledge gained through practice, which has important empirical value for occupational health. It also seeks to publish papers on environment issues.

Workstyle reforms needed to protect the health of Japanese physicians

The aging of the Japanese population is a well-documented phenomenon that is expected to increase demand for medical services. At the same time, an inadequate supply of qualified physicians has contributed to long working hours for Japanese physicians, and excessive working hours lead to increased risks of cardiovascular disease and burnout and jeopardize the quality of patient care. Given these adverse effects of overwork, workstyle reforms for physicians are a priority for the Japanese labor policy. In a paper recently published in Environmental and Occupational Health Practice, I summarize the policy options for promoting healthier workstyles for Japanese physicians.

One important policy tool has been the imposition of caps on the number of permitted overtime hours for physicians through amendments to Japan’s Labor Standards Act. For physicians in general, overtime is capped at 960 hours per year and 100 hours per month, but physicians who provide certain forms of crucial medical care may work up to 1,860 hours of overtime per year. Physicians who find themselves exceeding these limits should undergo medical assessments to evaluate ways of protecting their health.

Others options for promoting healthy physician workstyles include recommending psychological detachment from clinical work, encouraging physicians to maintain a proper work-life balance, and reminding physicians to treat self-care as a professional imperative. Employers should limit physicians’ levels of exposure to certain occupational risk factors for cardiovascular disease and psychiatric conditions, such as night shifts, long commuting times, and effort-reward imbalances. Physicians and their employers should also consider the unhealthy influences of Japanese gender role stereotypes, which can pressure men into overwork and limit the ability of women to continue working after childbirth.

Addressing the problems associated with physician overwork is important both from a patient care perspective and from a perspective of ensuring that the medical professions can attract talented young people who may otherwise be dissuaded from entering a stressful line of work. Academics in occupational health fields should give thought to the potential reforms in Japanese labor policies that may serve to counter the adverse effects of physician overwork.

Hear Me Roar: Mercury Enters Leo!

August 04, 2020

By Margarita Celeste

On the 4th of August 2020, Mercury finally moves out of watery Cancer, where he’s made his home for absolutely forever, into fiery Leo! This is oh-so-exciting, especially for those of us who have felt, well, bogged down of late mentally.

  • Be confident in your decisions! Keep your self-doubt to the side and let yourself be courageous!

  • Avoid being overly dominating. You can roar, and still inspire others to follow you, rather than resent you!
  • Be too stubborn. Mental inflexibility can stop you from growing, you know!
  • Be overdramatic. Leo Mercury Season is a bit extra, but you can express this in healthy ways rather than getting destructive.

Anti-terror pact aims to make Europe safer without compromising civil liberties

Brussels, Belgium

Edited Package
Candles after terror attacks in Paris CB off After recent terror attacks in Europe, the debate intensifies over how to further empower authorities to track town terrorists, without compromising civil liberties.
CB on Hello and welcome to People First, the EPP Group's monthly program on issues with impact on people like you. Joining us to answer some of your questions is Monika Hohlmeier. You are a member of the Committee here in the European Parliament, for Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, and a member of the EPP Group.
CB on Madame Hohlmeier, if I may ask you to start with, you grew up at a time when there were terror attacks in Germany. Your father was interior minister and defence minister. How was it like for someone like you to grow up in that situation?
Monika Hohlmeier, German MEP Let's say it was another life, it was not a normal life. Because we always had three policemen following us in the school, everywhere. We were not allowed to go by bicycle to the school, as every normal child is doing it. We had to go by a specialised secured car, by secured ways. So I have a deep feeling for this issue of terrorism.
CB on So Europe has indeed been shaken by repeatedly by terrorism. How is the EU now, dealing with this situation now? Let's take a look at our report, before we go to our viewer questions.

Gunmen in Charlie Hebdo attack CB off The deadly terror attacks in France, and the foiled plot in Belgium, came at a time Europe is debating what new tools to give investigators.
Airport, planes CB off Some officials, and the airline industry, have been pressing for a Europe-wide system to track air travellers. Known as PNR, or Passenger Name Records, the effort to create a common databank across Europe was defeated in the European Parliament in 2013.
Computer data, check-in at airport CB off A related issue is data retention: how should the data be used, how long and by whom? The PNR proposal would store that data over five years and strictly control the sharing of data with non-EU countries.
Frankfurt airport CB off The gunman in the deadly attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels in 2014 slipped into the EU via Frankfurt Airport, as Germany forbids data retention.
Phone taps, people on phone CB off With telephone surveillance, not all member states allow it, though phone taps helped Belgian authorities track down the suspects in planned terror attacks.
Europol checking data on screen CB off The EPP Group is also calling for a European version of the US Terror Finance Tracking Program, or TFTP, to shut down the money going to terrorists.
Border checks CB off And border controls stand to be toughened under a so-called Smart Borders system. Proposed by the European Commission last year, it's in the test phase.
CB on So we've talked to people on the street. And their questions really do deal with how people are affected or could be affected by these measures. Let's take look at our first question, which has to do with sort of a general idea about how people are affected.
Vox pop question Hello, I'm Antoine, I'm from Brussels, and I just want to ask, how is this going to affect my daily life on the Internet?

CB on So what about all this telecom surveillance? We want to boost it up, ramp it up. Is this more Big Brother or what?
MH on No, Big Brother is not allowed and won't be allowed in the future. Because normally if you have suspected persons, you need a judge to decide, that you can survey somebody. The telephone connections, the IT content that the person has seen. But our problem at the moment is that we don't have any obligation for the private companies. For example, in Germany this is the situation, that they have to do something like data retention. The normal internet user will profit from our proposal of data protection. Because there's a data protection proposal from the Commission. We try to find a solution together with the Council. And there, the privacy is much more protected. And we as Parliament are trying to give more rights to private persons against the big giants, because they don't respect the clients so much.
CB on Well let's take a look at our next question, which has very much to do with that.
Vox pop question My name is Ellen, I'm from Belgium. How will you protect my data?

CB on Well yes. Essentially, some people have been fighting for their right to be forgotten. And now we're talking about, in this proposal, to retain data for ten years. Why is that?
MH on First, the issue is that data protection and privacy must be respected. So, fundamental rights must be respected. The issue is that law enforcement is not allowed to enter into every privacy. That is not allowed. Only for suspects, and there's certain type of new technology. So normal data is absolutely protected, nobody is interested. The problem is not law enforcement. The problem sometimes is the profiling of private companies.
CB on …for advertising. But this does make some people uncomfortable. Here's a Swiss gentleman, who's uncomfortable with all that data crunching.
Vox pop question Hello my name is Morris Schimber (sp?), I'm from Switzerland. And I wonder whether it's possible to track down people. Personally I don't think that it is, but some people would like to have a government that controls everything.
CB on Well, he flew to get here. Now you would think that he would favour PNR to make sure the guy sitting next to him is safe. But anyway, he's got two minds obviously, about this, like a lot of Europeans.
MH on But PNR, or something like data retention, is not a mass surveillance. If you want to look at all the private content of IT, of bank accounts, or something like this, you need to have the decision of a judge. Or there must be a danger for society. If there is not a clear situation, then you are not allowed to go into the whole privacy.
CB on Well here's another aspect of freedom is freedom of movement. And a lot people are putting in question Schengen. Here's a question on that.
Vox pop question My name is Heidi Mudrif (sp?), I'm from Vienna, and the question is why it would be possible to partially implement the Schengen Agreement? What keeps the diplomats from implementing it, whether they are afraid that they will lose votes in their countries?
Ich heisse Heidi Mudrif, bin auss Wien, und die Frage: warum es moeglich waere auch zeitweise die Schengen Abkommen wieder einzusetzen. Und was hindert die diplomaten daran dieses einzufuehren, ob sie nur Angst haben dass sie die Stimmen der Bevoelkerung in ihres Landes verlieren.

CB on So it is a very complicated question. Because to what extent do you try to support Schengen, but perhaps at the risk of losing votes at home by those who are very very worried about Schengen perhaps compromising their security?
MH on I think that freedom of movement is one of the very important goods or values that we have in this European Union and in the Schengen area. There is one proposal about the external borders of the Schengen area. Because if for example, terrorists are entering, if high-risk individuals are entering, if drug traffickers, human traffickers are entering. For this reason there will be a proposal to have controls at the external borders for EU citizens. But not inside, because it's not necessary to do this check three or four times. It's necessary to do it once, at the external borders of the Schengen area. And then we need to have a possibility to see how terrorists or high-risk individuals move.
CB Within.
MH on This is not a border issue. This is an issue where the ministers of interior have decided, have agreed on a data exchange that must be much better, because sometimes for example, the list of high-risk individuals in Belgium is different from the German ones.
CB on And then one other aspect of this package that the EPP Group is proposing, and with the support of others as well, is the idea of trying to prevent youth from radicalising. And boosting efforts in the prisons, and also trying to encourage some sort of tolerance in the schools. How, concretely, do you want to do that?
MH on First, we can create guidelines of best practices. Because there are already good examples in the European Union that work. And we hope that we can exchange this with very good guidelines. The second thing is to give an initiative or incentives for an IT program as deradicalisation. To show, with the methods of the internet, that radicalisation is a misuse of young people, for very bad ideas and for their detriment. So we can do a lot for deradicalisation. And in prisons, it's important that hate preachers or terrorists don't have the possibility to speak to young people in prison to radicalise them.
CB on So how do you do that? Do you separate them, or what do you do?
MH on The normal instrument is really to isolate those extreme terrorists from others. And in the prisons you have to give young prisoners the possibility to learn something, to be educated therein, to develop.
CB on Exactly, you have to have some positive support there.
MH on Yes, to have positive support for those who give us a chance to help them.
CB on Well, all these efforts are going to require long-term efforts.
MH on Yes, that's true.
CB on And we'll have to see how that pans out, but of course the first step is getting the package approved.
MH on That's true. Thank you so much.
Stand-up CB on Madam Holmeier, thank you so much. That's all the time we've got for now on People First.

The demography of differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) has changed considerably since the 1990s, when the vast majority of these tumors were clinically evident at the time of diagnosis, and many were associated with regional lymph node involvement. Today's DTCs are more likely to be small, localized, asymptomatic papillary forms that are discovered incidentally, during neck imaging procedure performed for other reasons or during postoperative assessment of a gland removed for benign nodular goiter. The tools available for diagnosing, treating, and monitoring DTCs have also changed and their diagnostic capacities have increased. For these reasons, DTC treatment and follow-up paradigms are being revised to ensure more appropriate, cost-effective management of the current generation of DTCs. This review examines some of the key issues in this area, including the assessment of risks for disease recurrence and thyroid cancer-related death, the indications for postoperative ablation of the thyroid remnant with radioactive iodine and TSH-suppressive doses of levothyroxine, the pros, cons, and rationales for the use of various follow-up tools (serum thyroglobulin assays, neck ultrasound, 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose–positron emission tomography, and whole-body 131I scintigraphy), and temporal strategies for maximizing their efficacy. An algorithm is presented for individualized, risk-tailored management of DTC patients.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is an extremely aggressive thyroid cancer subtype, refractory to the current medical treatment. Among various epigenetic anticancer drugs, bromodomain and extra-terminal inhibitors (BETis) are considered to be an appealing novel class of compounds. BETi target the bromodomain and extra-terminal of BET proteins that act as regulators of gene transcription, interacting with histone acetyl groups. The goal of this study is to delineate which pathway underlies the biological effects derived from BET inhibition, in order to find new potential therapeutic targets in ATC. We investigated the effects of BET inhibition on two human anaplastic thyroid cancer-derived cell lines (FRO and SW1736). The treatment with two BETis, JQ1 and I-BET762, decreased cell viability, reduced cell cycle S-phase, and determined cell death. In order to find BETi effectors, FRO and SW1736 were subjected to a global transcriptome analysis after JQ1 treatment. A significant portion of deregulated genes belongs to cell cycle regulators. Among them, MCM5 was decreased at both mRNA and protein levels in both tested cell lines. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments indicate that MCM5 is directly bound by the BET protein BRD4. MCM5 silencing reduced cell proliferation, thus underlining its involvement in the block of proliferation induced by BETis. Furthermore, MCM5 immunohistochemical evaluation in human thyroid tumor tissues demonstrated its overexpression in several papillary thyroid carcinomas and in all ATCs. MCM5 was also overexpressed in a murine model of ATC, and JQ1 treatment reduced Mcm5 mRNA expression in two murine ATC cell lines. Thus, MCM5 could represent a new target in the therapeutic approach against ATC.

Advanced medullary thyroid cancers (MTCs) are now being treated with drugs that inhibit receptor tyrosine kinases, many of which involved in angiogenesis. Response rates vary widely, and toxic effects are common, so treatment should be reserved for MTCs likely to be responsive to these drugs. RET mutations are common in MTCs, but it is unclear how they influence the microvascularization of these tumors. We examined 45 MTCs with germ-line or somatic RET mutations (RETmut group) and 34 with wild-type RET (RETwt). Taqman Low-Density Arrays were used to assess proangiogenic gene expression. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess intratumoral, peritumoral and nontumoral expression levels of VEGFR1, R2, R3, PDGFRa, PDGFB and NOTCH3. We also assessed microvessel density (MVD) and lymphatic vessel density (LVD) based on CD31-positive and podoplanin-positive vessel counts, respectively, and vascular pericyte density based on staining for a-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA), a pericyte marker. Compared with RETwt tumors, RETmut tumors exhibited upregulated expression of proangiogenic genes (mRNA and protein), especially VEGFR1, PDGFB and NOTCH3. MVDs and LVDs were similar in the two groups. However, microvessels in RETmut tumors were more likely to be a-SMA positive, indicating enhanced coverage by pericytes, which play key roles in vessel sprouting, maturation and stabilization. These data suggest that angiogenesis in RETmut MTCs may be more intense and complete than that found in RETwt tumors, a feature that might increase their susceptibility to antiangiogenic therapy. Given their increased vascular pericyte density, RETmut MTCs might also benefit from combined or preliminary treatment with PDGF inhibitors.

Becoming Famous

Escuchar en la aplicación
Claire Delaney is a typical young teenage girl who likes nothing more than reading the latest gossip about what the celebs have been up to. Her ultimate dream is to become a famous A-list star, but without any real talent to speak of a dream it must remain - according to her mother, at least. Things aren’t so clear-cut these days though, and one does not necessarily need to be a skilled actress, singer or model to become famous. Sometimes the stars align and people get what they wish for… but is Claire truly prepared for the consequences?
This twisted tale is written by master of teenage terror Jack Goldstein and is expertly narrated by Andrew Baldwin. It will make a perfect addition to the collection of any young horror fan; the question is… dare you listen?
