Although the regime had many ideological influences (Traditionalism, National Catholicism, Militarism and National syndicalism), it employed Falangism in its popular movements.

Although these mottos originated from the activity of different right-wing intellectuals and nationalist political parties during the Second Spanish Republic, their use became widespread and proved to be an effective propaganda tool used by the Nationalist faction during the Spanish Civil War (1936\u20131939) in mobilising public opinion and persuading the population to conform to nationalist ideas. Mottos were also often used as political chants during Franco's dictatorship (1939\u20131975).

The motto was spread by the Franco's confidant, founder of the Spanish Legion, Jos\u00e9 Mill\u00e1n Astray, who profoundly admired the \"Caudillo\". In the first few months of the Spanish Civil War, when Franco was still a member of the \"Junta de Defensa\", Mill\u00e1n Astray traversed the nationalist-controlled areas, particularly the provinces of Castille and Navarra, serving Franco's personal cause and convincing the troops and officers of Franco's indisputable claim as the leader of Spain. After creating the motto \"\u00a1Viva la muerte! (Long live death!\"), Mill\u00e1n Astray adapted the Nazi \"Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein F\u00fchrer\" (one people, one empire, one leader) in order to create the motto \"Una patria, un estado, un caudillo\". When the \"Junta de Defensa\" became the \"Junta T\u00e9cnica del Estado\" and Franco was named as the head of state, it became compulsory for all newspapers and postcards in the Nationalist-controlled zones to include this motto in their header. Significance of the tripartite motto. Many Francoist slogans were purposely designed to be tripartite mottos in clear reference to religious symbolism (the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit). This"}, {"text": "implicitly compares Spain to the defining characteristics of the Roman Catholic Church; \"Catholic\" (meaning universal), \"Apostolic\" (meaning chosen) and \"Roman\" (meaning united). These comparisons must be viewed in the context of National Catholicism, an essential aspect to the Francoist ideology. Although National Catholicism was not a key component of Falangist ideology (and was sometimes even opposed by the Falangists), it was used by the Falange as a rhetorical device. Throughout history, ideas and concepts have often been incorporated into and expressed as tripartite mottos. It is believed that this occurrence originated with Indo-European populations, who worshipped three gods as one. The social classes of these populations were also split into three categories, in a similar way to those of medieval societies and the \"Ancien R\u00e9gime\". Other tripartite mottos include \"\"Libert\u00e9, \u00e9galit\u00e9, fraternite\" (liberty, equality, fraternity), created during the French Revolution; \"Dios, Patria y Libertad\" (God, Motherland and Freedom), used in the Dominican Republic; and \"Dios, patria, rey\"\" (God, Motherland, King) which dates back to Carlism, a traditionalist, right-wing Spanish ideology. In addition to mottos, examples of other tripartite classifications are the Falange's categories of \"natural units of political life\" (\"Family, town council, trade union\"). Furthermore, in the philosophy of absolute"}, {"text": "idealism, the dialectical method of Hegelian theory (thesis, antithesis, synthesis) is also composed of three parts. On some occasions, these three-part classifications have been linked to a \"western\" or \"patriarchal\" way of viewing the world, which contrasts with the two-part \"eastern\" or \"matriarchal\" point of view (yin and yang). A song written in Catalan by Joan Manuel Serrat \"(Temps era temps)\" refers to the postwar period as the \"time of the \"\u00a1Una, Grande y Libre!\"\" \"\u00a1Arriba Espa\u00f1a!\" (Up with Spain!). The decision to use 'up' instead of 'long live' was justified on the basis that the term 'live' was insufficient. The word 'up' conveys the idea of Spanish patriots standing at attention, asserting their active willingness to improve Spain. It also resonated with the providential belief that all events are predetermined by God. \"Si eres espa\u00f1ol, habla espa\u00f1ol\" (If you're Spanish, speak Spanish). The motto 'Speak the language of the empire' was also employed, as instructed by a poster once displayed in the courtyard of the University of Barcelona. This motto was possibly inspired by Antonio de Nebrija, who wrote in 1492 that \"Language was always a companion of the empire\" in \"Gram\u00e1tica castellana,\" the first work dedicated to the"}, {"text": "Spanish language and its rules. These mottos were used above all in Catalonia in order to discourage the use of Catalan after the region was taken over by Franco's army in the final stage of the Civil War (Barcelona was taken on 26 January 1939), and were also used in the postwar period. \"Rusia es culpable\" (Russia is guilty). This slogan is taken from the speech Ram\u00f3n Serrano Su\u00f1er made on 23 June 1941, the day after Germany invaded the Soviet Union (known as Operation Barbarossa), in which he blames Stalin's communist Russia for the Spanish Civil War, and encourages the support of Hitler's Nazi Germany in their fight against them. The quote was printed in newspapers and employed by the anti-Soviet movement which created the Blue Division, formed by volunteers and incorporated into the German army. These volunteers were believed not to affect or compromise Spain's official position of neutrality (although Franco favoured the Axis powers). Eventually, pressure from the Western powers forces Franco's government to withdraw the division. Cliches surrounding Russia often had some truth to them, making the country an easy target that people could blame for their misfortunes. These cliches include \"the Moscow Gold\" (which refers"}, {"text": "to the Republic's transfer of the Bank of Spain's gold reserves during the civil war as payment for Soviet military assistance, which Franco's government demanded be returned to Spain) and the \"Children of Russia\" (who were evacuated from the Republican zone and, unlike those who were sent to France or other Western countries, were not allowed to return to Spain). The documentary \"\"Los Ni\u00f1os de Rusia\" by Jaime Camino explores this subject. The chance for Spain to take their symbolic revenge arose during the 1964 European Nations' Cup, in which Spain's match against the Soviet Union was won by the legendary goal scored by Marcelino. Spain's use of football as an outlet of social tensions is reflected in the expression \"Pan y f\u00fatbol\"\" (\"Bread and football\", adapted from the phrase \"Bread and circuses\", used to describe a government's attempts at generating public approval through distraction.) \"Gibraltar es espa\u00f1ol\" (Gibraltar is Spanish). Gibraltar's concession to Britain in the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 lead to a continuous demand for the territory to be reinstated as a part of Spain. However, the level of this demand varied throughout the years.

After the defeat of Germany, international pressure on the Francoist regime caused the country to become isolated; this point was employed periodically in efforts to sway public opinion within Spain. Protests, most of which were unplanned, occurred as a result of the country's anti-British sentiments, with those in attendance chanting \"Spanish Gibraltar!\" Notable protests are those which occurred in 1955 in reaction to Elizabeth II's visit to the British territory. An official exhibition entitled \"Spanish Gibraltar\" was put on at the National Library in 1955. Surprisingly, those living in San Roque, the municipality closest to Gibraltar, avidly opposed sending a painting of the Nazarene, which was going to accompany other images (such as the \"Virgen Santa Mar\u00eda Coronada\" and the \"Madre de San Roque\") from the town to be displayed at the exhibition.

Displays of patriotism have led to many places (such as Almer\u00eda, Alc\u00e1zar de San Juan, Anchuras, Consuegra, Setenil de las Bodegas, Torredelcampo, Torrijos) having streets named \"Spanish Gibraltar.\" Opposition to Francoist mottos. As discussed in an opinion piece by Anton Reixa, During Franco's dictatorship there were those who responded to the above Francoist mottos with parodies such as 'There's only one Spain (because if there were another, we'd all be there.)' People also opposed the regime in more subtle ways such as by chanting the last part of the motto \"Una, Grande y Libre\" louder than the others, emphasizing the word \"Free\". This form of protest is illustrated in the film \"Las trece rosas\" (2007), which focuses on a group of girls awaiting a death sentence in the Ventas Prison in Madrid in 1939. Coincidentally, one of the reasons for their imprisonment is the distribution of propaganda containing a motto opposing Franco: \"menos Franco y m\u00e1s pan blanco\" (Less Franco and more white bread). This can be interpreted as a response both to the chants of 'Franco, Franco' as well as a criticism"}, {"text": "of Francoist slogans like \"No house without a fireplace nor a Spaniard without bread\", a motto which was printed on the packages of bread which were used to 'bombard' the Republican rearguard in the final stages of the Civil War in order to showcase the superiority and alleged benevolence of the rebel faction, as well as the hunger which prevailed in the Republican zones."}, {"text": "Real Estel\u00ed Baloncesto is a Nicaraguan basketball team based in Managua.

Managed by its eponymous company founded in 2012 by entrepreneur Arkadiusz Regiec, it is one of the first crowdfunding platforms in Poland, and Central and Eastern Europe. As of May 2020, 74 public offerings (issuances) were carried out on the platform, for a total amount of PLN 47M ($11.1 million, equivalent to $ million in ), collected by over 48,000 registered investors. Beside its namesake platform, Beesfund also manages a sister flexible-model crowdfunding platform (estimated 2014). It's reportedly to launch another, real-estate crowdfunding platform, and start operations in Romania, and Slovakia. History. Origin of the platform. In 2012, Arkadiusz Regiec, a student of law and political science at the University of Warsaw, was looking for financial support to start a business with a friend, but none of their friends wanted to risk loans of PLN 10,000, but no more than 300. Thanks to subsequent small donations, Regiec was able to collect the necessary amount, which in turn inspired him to create a collection mechanism in an organized form. Regiec decided to situate a similar mechanism to Kickstarter in Polish legal reality. In addition to Kickstarter's reward-based crowdfunding model, there"}, {"text": "are also two other models present on financial markets \u2014 the Peer-to-peer lending model, in which the entrepreneur borrows money for his project from a group of lenders, and the equity model, in which funds are raised by offerings of company shares. However, it is not possible to raise funds comparable with the traditional capital market through equity crowdfunding, therefore it cannot compete with the regular stock exchange market, nor alternative trading systems. Through equity crowdfunding, initial capital is provided by small contributions from many backers, thanks to which the company can raise funds for development in a short time. Beesfund's aim is to fill the gap on the financial market, alongside mature companies selling shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, and smaller ones entering the NewConnect alternative market. By establishing one of the first equity crowdfunding platforms in Poland, it offered the opportunity to buy shares of companies by payers not limited to transferring support for the venture but becoming its co-owners.

On the first day, first payments appeared in three of the four projects posted, and in the afternoon their sum exceeded the first thousand zlotys. The most funds, from seven backers, 1.4 percent of the target, were obtained by a project in which the community could invest in Beesfund itself, valued at PLN 1M (). During the first years of the platform, its founders evangelized the market, persuading to the formula of crowdfunding. Regiec compared crowdfunding with a bee swarm, where a single insect won't do much, but a full beehive can produce a jar of honey (hence the name of the platform). The platform's own issuance served as an example to prove the legality of public issues of shares offered without a prospectus or memorandum, in accordance with the guidelines of Poland's Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). Beesfund is presented as an incubator for the smallest companies that need money for development and want to gather experience on small issues, and the possibility of dispersing risk for investors with uncertain investments in unknown startups. In October 2012, the platform gained the financial goal of its own campaign for PLN 50,000 thanks to"}, {"text": "69 investors.

In July 2014, Beesfund launched another crowdfunding platform OdpalProjekt.pl (\"Firestart Up a Project\"). Inspired by Indiegogo, the first award-based, flexible-funding platform in Poland. Despite determining the financial goal, the project promoter receives all funds accumulated during a campaign and is obliged to implement the project. The OdpalProjekt.pl is addressed to investors interested in debut projects, specific, and one-off ventures \u2014 cultural events, as well as album, video game, and book releases. Money from online backers is obtained in two options, \"Take What You Collect\" (with a 6.9% commission), and \"Everything Or Nothing\" (with a 4.9% commission). Regardless of the support received, all the collected funds go to the project promoter, which doesn't release him from preparing reimbursable benefits as prizes. Increasing interest.

In 2017, equity crowdfunding was increasingly popular in Poland. In the annual \"Polish Startups\" report of the Startup Poland Foundation, 11% of startups declared that they were looking for funding through crowdfunding (in 2016, it was 3%). Throughout the year, Beesfund carried out 11 offerings, with an average of 140 investors, from a total of 8,000 registered investors, of which a quarter have invested.

In open public equity-crowdfunding issuances, the legally available amount for Polish entities is currently . The issuer is not obliged to issue an issue prospectus or investment memorandum, which is why Beesfund is dominated by companies with a ready business model that depends on the dispersion of capital and shareholders.

At the company's initial stage of development, it is difficult to estimate results.

During the All Out post-show media scrum, Tony Khan spoke about the decision to initially stop the match, saying that \"Matt had taken a fall in the match, and I stopped the match, paused the match, and sent the doctor to check on him. I was concerned that Matt could be hurt, so I rang the bell to stop the match\". When asked about Dr. Michael Sampson's decision to let Hardy continue, Khan said that \"when the doctor checked on him, the doctor passed him and cleared him on the protocol.\" He then added that \"there was a good amount of time [to make that decision]. The doctor did clear him. Matt did not pressure him,"}, {"text": "and Dr. [Michael] Sampson would not be pressured into clearing anybody. He's pulled people from our shows without hesitation, whether it's been something with a blood test or with an injury. He's really strict about that stuff, and that's why when people have had injuries and he didn't feel comfortable about people doing physicality or wrestling, we never put those people out there. I never would have gone against the doctor's decision, and most importantly, Matt would not have been able to overrule the doctor's decision, not with the doctor himself or with me. That is what happened. The doctor cleared him, which is the first and foremost important thing. Matt also did want to continue, but the doctor cleared him\". Aftermath. Hardy was injured during his Broken Rules match against Guevara after Guevara speared him from a scissor lift through a table, causing Hardy's head to hit the concrete floor underneath the table.

Life and works. Gustav Friedrich Halmhuber was born and died in Stuttgart. He came from a long established artisanal family of joiners and carpenters, with ancestral roots in West Prussia. In 1880 Halmhuber enrolled at the Stuttgart Institute of Technology (\"Technische Hochschule Stuttgart \" as the university was known at that time) where he studied Architecture under the widely respected Christian Friedrich von Leins. At the same time he was attending courses at the Stuttgart Fine Arts Academy (\"Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden K\u00fcnste Stuttgart\"). Subsequently, he also studied at the Fine Arts Academies in Berlin and Karlsruhe. At Karlsruhe he studied with the painter-professor Ferdinand Keller. Following the conclusion of his formal training Halmhuber worked briefly in Nuremberg with the architect . On 21 February 1893 Halmhuber was accepted as a freemason.

Most of the 74 submissions considered by the jury were content to feature iron structures. Gustav Halmbuber was only 23, but his 60-meter-tall winning design, which earned him a 1,000 Mark prize, as well as considerable fame in the appropriate quarters, featured a yellow sandstone facing and drew unapologetically on models from Roman antiquity. The tower was constructed between 1886 and 1889, by which time Halmhuber had relocated to Berlin and, it would appear, lost interest in attempting to oversee the tower's construction. The city authorities sent him several requests, seeking his support over problems with the building contractors, but Halmhuber seems to have been unable to help: it is not known whether he responded to an invitation from the city fathers to visit Mannheim and see the tower after the scaffolding had been removed during or shortly after March 1889.

While he was engaged on the Reichstag project he was \"spotted\" by the sculptor Reinhold Begas, at whose instigation in 1894 he was offered, and accepted, a commission to draw up plans for the National Kaiser Wilhelm Monument in central Berlin. While Begas himself led up a small team creating the equestrian figure of the late emperor, Halmhuber dealt with the extensive architectural aspects of the structure. In 1895, in another collaboration with \"the emperor's favourite sculptor\", Reinhold Begas, Halmhuber completely reconfigured Berlin's (then) prestigious Siegesallee. The bombastic layout and overwhelmingly masculine selection of sculptures were revealing, possibly in ways that the designers did not intend. It was (and more than a century later remains) controversial. During his later career Halmhuber was increasingly, though never exclusively, focused on teaching. Between 1897 and 1906 he taught at the Stuttgart Institute of Technology (\"Technische Hochschule Stuttgart\").

In 1909 Gustav Halmhuber relocated again, this time to the rapidly expanding city of Hannover, where he taught at what was then the Technical University of Hannover until his retirement in 1928. The reason for his move to Hannover appears to have been an invitation from the city authorities to take over from Hermann Eggert as architect for the prestigious new Hannover City Hall. Eggert's agreed departure appears to have resulted from a combination of personal and artistic-technical differences in respect of an unusually ambitious structure. The overall form of the extravagant shell of the building, which was sited on soft ground and mounted securely on 6,026 beech piles, was in most respects finalised by the time Halmhuber took over, but he was responsible for the widely admired interiors of the building. The less than harmonious combination of Eggert's choice of a version of neo-classicism for the exterior with Halmhuber's choice of \"Jugendstil\" interiors, though endorsed by the client - the Hannover city fathers - has nevertheless attracted comment from purists (and others) ever since.

According to the final report released by the NTSB on May 17, 2021, the probable cause of the crash was: Post-crash teardowns of the No. 4 engine and the No. 3 engine (the inner engine on the right wing) found evidence of poor maintenance of the magnetos and spark plugs, which are critical components of the engines' ignition systems. The spark plugs of the No. 3 engine were worn beyond the manufacturer's specifications although a 25-hour engine inspection was done less than one month before the crash. A 25-hour inspection of the No. 4 engine had been performed only nine days prior, but the left magneto had an intermittent short circuit, and the right magneto was producing a weak spark in 8 of the 9 cylinders due to wear of the compensator cam. The NTSB said the problems with the No. 4 engine magnetos likely caused a loss of engine power that prompted the pilot to shut the engine down, while \"The"}, {"text": "pilot likely did not recognize, or recognized too late, the extent of the loss of engine power on the airplane\u2019s right side.\" The NTSB found that the foundation's preflight checklist called for the engine run-up to be performed at lower RPM than specified in the B-17 ground maintenance checklist, and the preflight run-up of the accident flight was in fact performed at a lower RPM setting, which made magneto problems more difficult to detect because the RPM drop caused by a bad magneto would be less pronounced than at higher RPM. The foundation's SMS did not uncover or address this discrepancy in its checklist. According to the final report, a key factor leading to the crash was the pilot's decision to fly the airfield traffic pattern at an airspeed of about with the landing gear extended. The pilot lowered the gear about from the runway threshold, in the downwind leg of the traffic pattern. The NTSB concluded that an airspeed of would have minimized altitude loss, while the lower 100 mph airspeed made the aircraft lose altitude relatively quickly per distance flown, and lowering the gear early increased drag and \"exacerbated the situation\".

An insulinoma is a small tumor localized to the pancreas, originating from islet beta cells, which produce an excess of insulin. The increase in insulin ultimately leads to hypoglycemia. Insulinomas are commonly benign tumors, but can metastasize and become malignant. The metastatic growth can be characterized as a local invasion or distal metastasis. However, insulinomas are often difficult to detect due to their relatively small size, with a diameter oftentimes less than 2 cm. Therefore, clinical appearance and pathology are not sufficient in diagnosing a malignant insulinoma. Malignant insulinomas are not easily treated, as they require various treatments dependent on each person's case. Signs and symptoms. Metastatic insulinomas are commonly preceded by hypoglycemic symptoms and the Whipple triad. Majority of the hypoglycemic symptoms will manifest as neuroglycopenic symptoms and/or autonomic symptoms. Common neuroglycopenic symptoms include: generalized confusion, significant behavioral changes, coma, and seizure. Common autonomic symptoms include: diaphoresis, weakness, palpitations, and hunger. Thus, there are various presenting symptoms observed in patients. This is primarily attributed to the fact that metastatic insulinoma is initially diagnosed as another disease, such as benign insulinoma, which has the potential to"}, {"text": "progress and metastasize. Cause. Insulinomas generally occur sporadically. To date, the current cause of metastatic insulinomas is unknown. This is primarily due to their form as an already rare disease, insulinoma. Metastatic insulinomas are even less prevalent than insulinomas, and commonly begin as benign insulinomas which metastasize into metastastic insulinoma. Mechanisms. Patients with an insulinoma initially exhibit symptoms of hypoglycemia resulting from excess insulin secretion from the islet beta cells within the pancreatic tumor or from non-pancreatic tumor cells. The excess insulin secretes into the blood stream and causes a significant drop in the blood glucose level, also known as hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is accompanied by many of the above listed neuroglycopenic and/or autonomic symptoms. In metastatic insulinoma, cancerous cells from the initial insulinoma begin to break away and enter into either the bloodstream or the lymphatic system. Upon spreading and entering another part of the body, the process of metastasis has successfully occurred. The cancerous cells can now more rapidly divide and further spread. The main sites of metastasis for pancreatic cancer are the: liver, lung and peritoneum. Diagnosis. Diagnosis can occur via two distinct ways. The first is inclusive of a patient initially diagnosed with benign insulinoma. After the"}, {"text": "initial presentation of hypoglycemic symptoms, blood tests are taken in order to confirm hypoglycemia. A glucose, insulin and C-peptide are drawn. Initial diagnoses routinely also include a pre-operative CT to confirm an insulinoma. Upon completion of bloodwork and required radiology, majority of metastatic insulinomas are diagnosed if present. The most common treatment option for those diagnosed with benign insulinomas are treated by isolated removal of the insulinoma. But, some of these patient cases progress and metastasize into a metastatic insulinoma. This occurs when cancerous cells break away from the insulinoma and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Thus, it is possible to later develop malignancy after the initial diagnosis of insulinoma, and even after operative removal of the insulinoma. In these cases, the most common site of metastases is the liver, as well as the lymph nodes. However, the second type of diagnoses of metastatic insulinoma involves a patient who presents with symptoms of an insulinoma, and is taken for a pre-operative CT. Blood tests. The following blood tests are needed to diagnose insulinoma: A significant blood glucose level < 3 mmol/L insulin level > 3 \u03bcIU/mL, and C-peptide level > 0.6 ng/mL is indicative of hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Diagnostic Imaging."}, {"text": "Less invasive imaging such as US, CT scan and MRI can be utilized to confirm the presence of an insulinoma. More specifically, a transabdominal ultrasound and CT are typically the first diagnostic images ordered. Further testing includes an endoscopic ultrasound or MRI. Treatment. Patients who are diagnosed with general insulinoma are commonly treated with surgical removal of the insulinoma. But, in those patients with metastatic insulinoma surgery is not enough. Thus, medical therapies are widely considered and reserved for those especially with unresectable insulinoma. Cytoreductive surgery, alongside other anti-tumor therapies are part of the initial treatment plans utilized for potential removal of the insulinoma. But, in patients with metastatic insulinoma, cytoreductive surgery has an effective rate of less than 10%. The surgery has however been shown to improve symptomatology and overall survival rate. Diazoxide is a medication used to primarily reduce the excess insulin secreted from the insulinoma cells. Insulin is suppressed by affecting the ATP-sensitive potassium channels. This can also lead to an excess of potassium and ultimately result in oedema from sodium retention in the body. In order to counteract this, Diazoxide is commonly used in combination with thiazide diuretics. Although Diazoxide has been noted to have an"}, {"text": "immediate effect on patients, over the course of time the dosage may need to be increased. Beta-blockers also have a positive effect in the overall reduction of insulin production. Therefore, resolving hypoglycemia. Prognosis. The prognosis once diagnosed with metastatic insulinoma falls on a large spectrum. Patients can live anywhere from 5 months to 29 years after initial diagnosis. The reason there is such a huge gap in the perspective life expectancy, is related to the minimal follow up information gathered on patients with metastatic insulinoma. Therefore, there is currently no reliable information regarding hard statistics or exact time intervals. Epidemiology. Because of the extremely rare prevalence of this disease, there is not much information available regarding the epidemiology. General insulinoma is diagnosed in every one to four cases per one million people. Malignant insulinoma is an extremely rare form of an insulinoma, affecting only about 10% of the total insulinoma cases.

From studies on \"C. areolata\", this fungus produces multiple antifungal compounds, which inhibit other competitor fungi. History and taxonomy. Nils Lundqvist, a Swedish mycologist, first discovered \"Cercophora areolata\" in 1891, and the description of \"C. areolata\" was not published until 1972 in the book Nordic Sordariaceae s. lat, written by Lundqvist himself. Lundqvist first stumbled upon the holotype of \"C. areolata\" in Aspvik, Gustavavsberg, Uppland, Sweden, on the dung of \" Equus caballus\". The holotype was first named \"Hypoxylon coprophila\",; However, there is little information regarding \"C. areolata\" with this synonym. Based on morphology and molecular data, \"C. areolata\" is grouped into the \"Lasiosphaeriaceae\" taxonomic clade alongside several members of the \"Arnium\" genus. The ascomata of these \"Arnium\" species have glabrous or have flexous hairs, similar to the perithecia of \"C. areolata\". A subclade within this clade is supported by \"C. areolata\", \"Arnium mendax\" and \"Arnium"}, {"text": "inaequilaterale\". Morphology. \"Cercophora areolata\" produces perithecia, also known as ascomata, which are fruiting bodies with necks. The perithecia of \"C. areolata\" are described as ovoid to conical, aggregated, non-stromatic, ostiolate (have small pores for the discharge of spores), and they have cone-shaped, ridged necks. Perithecia may be glabrous, enveloped with flexuous, brown, septate thick hairs or with short, hyaline (colourless), cylindrical, septate hairs. The perithecia are also characterized as superficial, in which the perithecia appear along the stalk, similar to the phenotype of the \"Ophiocordyceps\" species. The peridium, the protective covering of the perithecium, appears pseudoparenchymatous, meaning it resembles the parenchyma of plant tissue, but consists of fungal hyphae woven together. The peridium is further described as black-brown, opaque, carbonaceous, has 3 layers and is areolate. \"C. areolata\" has the most distinct areolate pattern, in which the peridium cracks into broad polygone plates along edges of hyaline cells. The peridial cells in the outer layer resemble the shape of a prism, are thick-walled, and are in a radial arrangement in each polygone. The peridial cells in the middle layer appear flattened.

As a member of the Ascomycota, \"C. areolata\" has asci, sacs that grow in the ascomata and house the developing sexual spores. The asci contain about 8 ascospores, are clavate-shaped (thicker at the apex) and are unitunicate, meaning they are single-walled. The asci become costate (ribbed) after bursting of the perithecium, a process known as dehiscence. The ascus tip possesses a thick, double-apical ring and lacks a sub-apical globulus. Paraphyses, erect filament-like structures, appear longer than asci. The ascospores contained within the asci are arranged in series of 2\u20133. In immature asci, the spores are initially hyaline (colourless), single-celled, cylindrical, vermiform (worm-like), slightly sigmoid, and smooth.

Antifungal and cytotoxic compounds. Many fimicolous fungi exhibit interspecies competition, or fungal antagonism, which entails the generation of inhibiting chemicals targeting other species. Thus, \"Cercophora areolata\" produces many secondary metabolites such as Cercophorin A, Cercophorin B, Cercophorin C, allowing for \"C. areolata\" to display antibacterial and antifungal activity. \"C. areolata\" also produces decarboxycitrinone, 4-acetyl-8-hydroxy-6-methoxy-5-methylisocoumarin and roridin E. Cercophorins A-C are 8-hydroxyisocoumarin derivatives. Cercophorin A is a white, solid substance, whereas cercophorin B and C are yellow, solid substances. Cercophorins A-C demonstrate antifungal and cytotoxic activity against \"Sordaria fimicola\" and \"Ascobolus\" \"furfuraceus\". Cercophorins A-C act to impede the growth of these early successional coprophilous fungi, which appear much earlier on dung and have more rapid metabolisms. From standard disk assays, Cercophorin A generated zones of inhibition of about 26 and 16mm when tested on \"Bacillus subtilis\" and \"Staphylococcus aureus\", respectively. Thus, Cercophorin A is most potent against \"B. subtilis\" and \"S. aureus\". Decarboxycitronine displayed antifungal activity against \"S. fimicola\" and \"A. furfuraceus\", as treatment resulted in 100% reduction in radial growth.

To connect I-80 in Iowa to I-80 in Nebraska, two options for the route emerged. The first was to continue I-80's east\u2013west path to a north\u2013south junction near Loveland and then utilize the Mormon Bridge near Florence to cross into Nebraska. The second option routed I-80 to the southwest at Neola to Council Bluffs and then across the Nebraska\u2013Iowa state line over the Missouri River into Omaha. The Iowa State Highway Commission preferred the Loveland route, but the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) allowed the commission to proceed with both routes and determine the more important route later. Within two years, priorities and route numbers were assigned. The Loveland option would be known as I-80N and was given a slightly higher priority than the second option, which would carry the I-80 number.

Without the extension, Larsen argued that all I-80 traffic would be routed through Council Bluffs and little traffic would travel north to Sioux City. Democrats on the commission discovered and announced in late 1957 that the commission had already purchased of right-of-way for I-80N before any public meetings occurred and before the route was finalized. It was suggested that Larsen had begun construction on I-80N in order to futureproof it from changes by future commissions, a charge Larsen denied. Statewide construction priorities shifted, and, by the mid-1960s, I-80N was mostly graded but not paved.

History. Kenneth E. Iverson, the inventor of APL, was dissatisfied with the way user functions (tradfns) were defined. In 1974, he devised \"formal function definition\" or \"direct definition\" for use in exposition. A direct definition has two or four parts, separated by colons: name : expression name : expression0 : proposition : expression1 Within a direct definition, denotes the left argument and the right argument. In the first instance, the result of is the result of the function; in the second instance, the result of the function is that of if evaluates to 0, or if it evaluates to 1. Assignments within a direct definition are dynamically local. Examples of using direct definition are found in the 1979 Turing Award Lecture and in books and application papers. Direct definition was too limited for use in larger systems. The ideas were further developed by multiple authors in multiple works but the results were unwieldy. Of these, the \"alternative APL function definition\" of Bunda in 1987 came closest to current facilities, but is flawed in conflicts with existing"}, {"text": "symbols and in error handling which would have caused practical difficulties, and was never implemented. The main distillates from the different proposals were that (a) the function being defined is anonymous, with subsequent naming (if required) being effected by assignment; (b) the function is denoted by a symbol and thereby enables anonymous recursion. In 1996, John Scholes of Dyalog Limited invented direct functions (dfns). The ideas originated in 1989 when he read a special issue of \"The Computer Journal\" on functional programming. He then proceeded to study functional programming and became strongly motivated (\"sick with desire\", like Yeats) to bring these ideas to APL. He initially operated in stealth because he was concerned the changes might be judged too radical and an unnecessary complication of the language; other observers say that he operated in stealth because Dyalog colleagues were not so enamored and thought he was wasting his time and causing trouble for people. Dfns were first presented in the Dyalog Vendor Forum at the APL '96 Conference and released in Dyalog APL in early 1997. Acceptance and recognition were slow in coming.

Rice is an important agricultural crop today in the Philippines and many countries throughout the world import rice and other products from the Philippines. Factors that led to farming. Until the end of the Pleistocene, most people inhabiting the planet were hunter-gatherers. Between 8500 and 2500 AD, people transitioned to farming at different times and places around the world. Climate change. After 15,000 years ago, the post-glacial climate change at the end of the Pleistocene made the climate much warmer and more humid. This led to an increase in the productivity of the tropical layers of the earth. In addition, the climate change led to severe cold periods that were not conducive for hunter-gathering. Areas like China and the Levant, for example, began selecting for certain features in their crops that would allow them to persist through the sporadic cold periods. Advantages of farming. Agricultural expansions"}, {"text": "were a result of several advantages that farming had over hunting and gathering. One advantage was that farming yielded more food per area of land meaning that farmers could grow enough food to support larger populations of people. Another advantage of the farming lifestyle is that it is largely sedentary, unlike the mobility of hunter-gathering. This allowed for surpluses to be stocked up in case of difficult growing periods to curb starvation. Lastly, the large and crowded farming societies brought about epidemic infectious diseases that farmers became resistant to. However, these diseases affected hunter-gatherers because they were not immune to them. Farming-language dispersal hypothesis. Austronesian language family. The Austronesian language family is a group of languages spoken throughout parts of Southeast Asia including Taiwan, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The history of this language family covers the time of Pre-Austronesian and the Austronesian. Pre-Austronesian speaking people were hunter-gatherers. They began in China then colonized Taiwan, then dispersed Southwards toward the Philippines and into Northern Indonesia. In an ethnolinguistic sense, Austronesian speaking people began 5,500 years ago in Taiwan and they were presumed to be farmers. Bellwood and Renfrew's proposal. With the Austronesian language family and its dispersal in mind, Peter Bellwood"}, {"text": "and Colin Renfrew proposed one of the first ideas highlighting the origin of agriculture in Island Southeast Asia. Bellwood and Renfrew argued that, because of agriculture, the Austronesian speaking people migrated from their homeland in Taiwan to the Philippines and Indo-Malaysia then reached the Pacific after passing New Guinea. Proto-Austronesian, a reconstruction of the Austronesian languages, shows evidence of repetition in many of the same vocabulary terms for agriculture. The vocabulary is used as evidence for agriculture being the driving force behind the migration because it includes words like rice, millet, and pigs that are very similar across languages in Island Southeast Asia. It is believed that rice-based agriculture allowed Austronesian speaking people to migrate to regions inhabited by hunter-gatherers and populate the area or replace them to a degree. The approximate date of when Austronesian-speaking people began migrating from Taiwan to the Philippines is between ca. 4,500 to 4,000 years ago. Opposing views on the farming-language dispersal hypothesis. Despite the prevalence of Bellwood's farming-language dispersal hypothesis, different scholars have disagreed with the farming-language dispersal hypothesis and have put forward different possible factors to consider when thinking about the emergence of agriculture in ISEA (Island Southeast Asia). Lack of archaeological"}, {"text": "evidence. Tim Denham, a university professor of anthropology, author, and research fellow, argued that there is not enough archaeological evidence to support the use of agriculture in ISEA before 3,000 years ago. Using multidisciplinary evidence, including the origin and spread of plant and animal domesticates in Island Southeast Asia, Denham proposed that East Asian crops are found in ISEA, but only after the period of Austronesian-speaking peoples' expansion. He argues for the lateness of the emergence of agriculture in Island Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, and further suggests that Indigenous peoples of Island Southeast Asia were active agents in the utilization of farming techniques during the mid-Holocene. In contrast to the idea that Indigenous peoples of ISEA were hunter-gatherers who were overthrown by farming societies, he claims that Indigenous peoples integrated new plants into former cultivation techniques, as well as adopted new strategies for animal domestication. Population genetics. The application of population genetics and its relation to early migration in ISEA was proposed by Tim Denham and Mark Donohue. They disagree with the complete integration of the present hunter-gatherer groups of the region by the Austronesian-speaking migrants from Taiwan. They rebuke the idea of the Austronesian-speaking peoples possessing dominance because"}, {"text": "of their agricultural practices over their hunter-gatherer counterparts and instead propose integration from both the migrants and the present social groups into complex cultural groups. Evidence disagreeing with the Austronesian dominance of early people are presented in the DNA of ISEA populations.

Neolithic expansion without farming practices. The idea that Neolithic expansion in Island Southeast Asia did not involve farming practices was described by Matthew Spriggs, an active voice in this archaeological topic. Material culture of this epoch such as the red-slipped pottery marks the fusion of different social groups including migrants from outside of these islands as well as individuals already situated in the area. Spriggs describes that \"subsistence changes were not needed to change identities\" showing that although changes did occur in this region it did not necessarily include farming practices. Roger Blench, supports the idea of the agriculture failure of Austronesian migrants and suggests that migration expansion and cultural assimilation by religious practices was more prevalent rather than agricultural practices. He emphasizes the idea that complex societies"}, {"text": "did not have to involve sedentary farming practices and that hunting and foraging could have been the main provider for subsistence. Archaeological evidence. Old Kiyyangan Village. In an archaeological study conducted at Old Kiyyangan Village in Ifugao, archaeologists analyzed charred organic residue from two earthenware sherds were analyzed in order to evaluate when rice agriculture, as well as cooking rice, occurred in the Philippines. The results of the examination were that the earthenware sherds were not from rice pots used to cook rice, instead they were used for cooking starchy vegetables such as taro, yams, and more. It shows that during pre-colonial times, the Ifugao people used a wide range of food resources that did not include rice. They cultivated starchy vegetables and domesticated animals like pigs, water buffalo, and chicken. They most likely kept a relationship between neighboring communities to hunt in order to obtain their protein, while at the same time clearing land to grow their crops. These pieces of evidence support the idea that early people in Ifuago were able to thrive without rice agriculture or intensive agriculture in general up until the point of colonization when population densities heightened, suggesting a later model for the emergence"}, {"text": "of intensive agriculture. Taro and rice. Stephen Acabado argues that taro preceded wet-rice agriculture in the Ifugao terraces and that taro is indigenous to the Philippine archipelago. Taro brings a different perspective to the emergence and spread of agriculture in that it moves away from the general idea that domestication occurred through a sequence of events that began with root vegetable cultivation and came to a peak with intensive wet-rice agriculture. Previous models about the emergence of agriculture in ISEA credit the Austronesian dispersal for the introduction of taro and rice in those regions. However, new evidence exhibits that taro has pan-Southeast Asian origins and can be traced much earlier than the spread of Austronesian-speaking peoples in the region of Luzon in the Philippines. If this evidence is approved and taro is shown to have been present much earlier, it changes the perspective on how agriculture spread. Anthropologist Martin Tsang found taro tissue in Cagayan dating between 3940 BC- 3379 BC suggesting that taro may have existed in the Philippines during a time that was much earlier than when taro agriculturalists began spreading to mainland Southeast Asia. The first evidence of rice found in the Philippines dates to between 2025"}, {"text": "BC and 1432 BC. This taro-first model is only indirect evidence in favor of the cultivation of taro before the Austronesian-speaking people arrived in Southeast Asia and for the lateness of wet-rice agriculture in the Philippines and other parts of Island Southeast Asia. The process of growing taro is not labor intensive and could have easily replaced rice as a main carbohydrate. Planting and farming Taro is a ceremonial process and has religious significance. In the Central Cordillera region, taro was a favored crop because of its low-population destiny. It is possible that there was not much population pressure in the Cordillera before the rise of colonialism and that taro and other root vegetables like sweet potato could have supported the populations present at the time. It is a possibility that as population density increased as a result of the Spanish arrival or after the arrival of lowland groups, there was a change to wet-rice agriculture.

There is, however, archaeological evidence for the presence of rice remains"}, {"text": "in the Andarayan site located in northern Luzon which raises discussion on whether or not rice was cultivated at an earlier time than once thought.

Even with this archaeological find, the lack of rice samples make it difficult to attain a \"comprehensive study\". Tim Denham and Mark Donohue dismiss the idea that this evidence could be related to early intensive agriculture and instead conclude that the carbonized rice inclusions could be associated with foreign trade. Agriculture today. Currently, the Philippines remains the second-largest rice importer in the world. However, there is not much land left for rice agriculture and challenges to growing rice include unpredictable and unfavorable weather conditions as well as population density. A typhoon known as Yolanda that struck in 2013 damaged 2 percent of rice crops in the Philippines. Adverse weather conditions continue to threaten rice cultivation. Cultural significance.

After the arrival of the Spanish and the plow technology they brought with them, agricultural development occurred and rice was being cultivated in larger volumes.

The Alpine Lakes Wilderness features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite walls spotted with over 700 mountain lakes. Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences. These climate differences lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area. The history of the formation of the Cascade Mountains dates back millions of years ago to the late Eocene Epoch. With the North American Plate overriding the Pacific Plate, episodes of volcanic igneous activity persisted. In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.

On his release he opened a strip club in Soho, the centre of London's sex industry.

James William Humphreys was born in Bermondsey, South London, on 7 January 1930. He left school at age 14 and began a career of criminality; while still a teenager he became friends with Frankie Fraser, the London gangland enforcer. When he was 15 Humphreys was arrested for housebreaking and theft, and was fined \u00a35. Seven months later he was sent to an approved school for stealing a car. He was released the following year, but was sent back in October 1947 for a series of offences. In 1948 Humphreys was sentenced to three years in Rochester Borstal for theft; he was released in February 1950. Nine months later he was sent to prison for a year for aiding and abetting other criminals, and released in June 1951. In July 1951 Humphreys married June Driscoll.

He broke the discharge the following July when he was caught stealing clothes. He was sent to prison for two years and three months and was released in February 1957. Soon afterwards he broke into a sub-post office and blew open a safe to steal \u00a38,260 of money and postal orders; in March 1958 he was sentenced to six years' imprisonment. After serving four and a half years in Dartmoor Prison, he was released in October 1962. Strip club and sex shop owner. On his release from Dartmoor Humphreys changed direction professionally and opened a strip club in Old Compton Street, Soho, which was frequented by fellow criminals. Soho was the area of London that, with a proliferation of sex shops and sex workers, was the centre of the city's sexual economy. Humphreys rekindled a relationship with a former girlfriend, June Packard, who"}, {"text": "had renamed herself Rusty Gaynor: Rusty after the colour of her hair, Gaynor after the actress Mitzi Gaynor. She had previously worked as a barmaid and model, but was employed as a stripper by the time she and Humphreys resumed their relationship. The couple married in May 1963. To keep the club free of harassment from the police, Humphreys had to pay protection money to Detective Sergeant Harold \"Tanky\" Challenor. When the demands for payments continued after Humphreys moved his club to nearby Macclesfield Street, he made a complaint to Scotland Yard; after a short investigation, Challenor was cleared. The club proved financially successful, so he and Rusty took a lease on 5 Walker's Court, Soho, and opened the Queen's Club, a strip bar opposite the Raymond Revuebar. For those who could not get into the Revuebar, Queen's was the alternative, and the club flourished. Rusty performed in three acts per day. The proceeds of the club enabled Humphreys to buy a 14-bedroom farmhouse in Newenden, Kent, a flat in Dean Street, near the club, a holiday apartment in Ibiza and a Rolls-Royce. The Queen's Club later moved to the junction of Berwick Street and D'Arblay Street, where it became"}, {"text": "more popular than in its previous location; Humphreys retained the property in Walker's Court as an office. One of the other outlets on Walker's Court was an adult shop run by Bernie Silver, an established pornographer and racketeer. In the early 1960s, while it was legal to sell softcore pornography, selling more explicit work was illegal. There was no licence needed from the police or local authority. Although there had only been five sex shops in Soho in 1955, that number grew markedly during the 1960s. The professor of law Colin Manchester considers the rise was because of the permissive society and the more lenient Obscene Publications Act 1959, which was less restrictive than its predecessor. Silver and Humphreys began a professional relationship; Silver thought Humphreys and his wife would be a profitable investment for the future, Humphreys thought Silver could provide access and protection. Both judgements proved sound. The journalist Neil Root writes that the two men \"tolerated each other, perhaps became friendly for a time\", but were wary of one another. In 1964 one of Humphreys's clubs was a target for arson; after renovation Humphreys fitted it and all his commercial properties with steel shutters. It was suspected"}, {"text": "that the South London criminal organisation the Richardson Gang were behind the attack in an attempt to move their extortion business into Soho, but this was never proven. Humphreys appeared at Bow Street Magistrates' Court in July 1966, charged with allowing \"unlicensed public music and dancing (striptease)\" three times that year; he was fined \u00a3450. In 1969 Humphreys used his police contacts against Murray Goldstein, the owner of Maxim's strip club in Frith Street, in an attempt to seize control of the outlet. It was not the last time that Humphreys acted as a paid informant to the police; Root writes that \"it can be said with certainty that Humphreys was a police informer, as has been the underworld view since the 1970s\". That same year Humphreys and his wife tried to open a sex shop, but were told by police if they did so, they would face police interference and raids. Silver arranged for himself, Humphreys and Rusty to dine with Commander Wally Virgo, head of the Metropolitan Police's Serious Crime Squad. Humphreys was told that Detective Chief Superintendent Bill Moody, the head of the Metropolitan Police's Obscene Publications Branch (OPB), had blocked the opening. Soon afterwards Silver invited"}, {"text": "Humphreys to a lunch with Moody at which Moody said that Humphreys could open the shop if he paid \u00a34,000 up front, a half share of the takings and \u00a3100 a week to the OPB.

Virgo was given \u00a31,000 for the initial introduction and subsequent payments of \u00a32,000 a week and a \u00a32,000 bonus at Christmas. Over the next three years Humphreys opened between six and ten other sex shops. The first three\u2014opened on Lisle Street, Windmill Street and Newport Street\u2014cost Humphreys and Silver \u00a36,000 in payments to Moody. Between 1969 and 1972 Humphreys made \u00a3216,000 profit from his shops. Silver taught Humphreys about bribing police officers and gave him the advice \"Get them when they're young\", as they would then remain amenable when older. The police were paid on a sliding scale, depending on rank: \u00a35 for a constable, \u00a310 for a sergeant and up to \u00a32,000 a month for the senior officers. Humphreys would invite members of the OPB to dinner at some of London's top restaurants\u2014Quo Vadis, SPQR, Le Caprice and the Savoy Hotel\u2014where he would pay for the meal and give"}, {"text": "each of them a \"goodwill payment\"; when asked how he knew whether a policeman was amenable to taking bribes, he answered \"I've never known one that isn't.\" This would include taking out entire police departments: on one occasion Silver, Humphreys and their wives entertained the Flying Squad, paying for the meal at which the senior magistrate in London was also a guest. Often Humphreys would entertain and bribe different policemen three times a day: lunch, dinner and nightclubs, and often the bribes were not money, but cars or jewellery for police officers' wives. The head of the Flying Squad, Ken Drury, dined with Humphreys so often, the officers under his command noticed how much weight he was putting on; Humphreys bought him an exercise bicycle and a rowing machine to help him keep his weight down. The bribes paid to the OPB ensured that anyone trying to open a rival sex shop would be repeatedly raided until they gave up their business. When police had to raid the shops owned by Humphreys or Silver\u2014or any of the other pornographers who bribed the police\u2014the owners received a coded telephone message first, often WHSmith or Ryman, to signify that the sex shops"}, {"text": "had to be as legitimate as a high street newsagent and stationers. What the police officers did not know was that for each lunch, dinner or meeting he had with them, Humphreys kept a diary listing those present, the venue and the amount of bribe he paid; these were often for smaller amounts of \u00a350\u2013\u00a3100, and were in addition to the regular fees paid to keep the shops and clubs running. \"Sunday People\" investigation. In January 1972 Drury, Humphreys and their wives travelled to Cyprus and Beirut for a fortnight's holiday. Drury signed into the hotel in Famagusta under his own name, with his police rank, and gave his address as Scotland Yard. News of the trip was soon leaked to journalists from \"The Sunday People\". This was either by Joey Pyle, a gangland figure angry at having been charged with firearms offences, or a member of the Flying Squad who saw a postcard Drury had sent to his colleagues in London. An investigation was soon undertaken by \"The Sunday People\".

In particular some of those attached to Scotland Yard's Obscene Publications Department, are being systematically bribed by dealers in pornography. It is this that largely explains why their businesses flourish; why immense stocks of 'dirty' books, magazines and films are not confiscated. Drury responded to the claims by giving an interview to the \"News of the World\" claiming he and Humphreys were searching for Ronnie Biggs, one of the gang members involved in the 1963 Great Train Robbery. He also stated that he was paying Humphreys as an informant. The accusation he was being paid as a \"grass\" angered Humphreys, and he gave a press conference to say that Drury was lying.

He began a fundamental change of the force, targeting corrupt policemen; soon after his appointment he told detectives that they were \"the most routinely corrupt organisation in London\". Mark brought in Detective Chief Superintendent Bert Wickstead, the head of the Serious Crime Squad (SCS), to take action against the pornographers and remove the corrupt officers from the OPB. The SCS began a three-year investigation into the relationship between the OPB and the pornographers; Silver, Humphreys and Eric Mason\u2014the owner of ten sex shops\u2014were the police's key targets. Attack on Peter Garfath. The relationship between Humphreys and his wife, Rusty, was sometimes turbulent. In September 1972 she received a three-month gaol sentence for possession of a firearm; there were some reports that she may have been threatening Humphreys with it. Humphreys said he would fly over central London and drop pornography if she was not released, but did not follow through. She was released in late October. Shortly after"}, {"text": "Rusty's release, Humphreys arranged to have Peter Garfath\u2014one of her former lovers\u2014beaten up, after suspecting the two had rekindled their relationship. Garfath was attacked by four men at the Dauphine Club in Marylebone on 23 October and was slashed around the head, face and arms with a knife. Rusty denied that her husband was behind the action, and thought it was connected to the distribution of forged \u00a350 notes that Garfath had been involved with. While corrupt officers were removed from Scotland Yard by Mark's actions, and the SCS were investigating the criminal activity in Soho, the large-scale pornographers left the country. Silver departed for Spain and Frank Mifsud\u2014a Maltese criminal who ran a string of brothels\u2014travelled to Ireland and then Brazil. Humphreys, who had been tipped off that the police had made the connection between himself and the Garfath attack, used a false passport in the name of Leigh and escaped to Rotterdam. The SCS raided 50 premises connected to the pornography industry over the weekend of 27 and 28 January 1973, including sex shops, storage premises and residences. More than of hardcore publications were seized and 11 people were arrested; one of them was Rusty Humphreys, at the"}, {"text": "couple's Brook Street residence. She was arrested because she and Humphreys rented a property in Greek Street to prostitutes. Each tenant bought a three-year lease for \u00a32,000 plus \u00a3100 a week rent. Two years into the arrangement Humphreys bodily ejected two of the women from the flats. One negotiated a return, but three months later Rusty Humphreys violently threw her out again. Both women complained to members of Wickstead's SCS. When Rusty was arrested, police searched the Brook Street premises and found, in a wall safe, one of Humphreys's diaries containing the details of his bribes to police officers. Four of the men arrested in the raids were charged with the attempted murder of Garfath, and Rusty Humphreys was charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice by offering Garfath \u00a32,000 not to give evidence against Humphreys. That July, Rusty was cleared of the attempt to bribe Garfath; two of the men were found guilty of unlawfully wounding and sentenced to five years imprisonment; another had pleaded guilty to the same charge and was gaoled for one year.

He was held in prison in Amsterdam while a request was made for extradition back to the UK. He was part of an escape attempt from the prison that November; four men managed to break out, but Humphreys was recaptured on the prison roof. In late December 1973 the Supreme Court of the Netherlands ordered his return to the UK, after Humphreys had appealed an earlier decision. On 9 January 1974 he arrived back in the UK, where he was charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Humphreys stood trial for his involvement in the attack on Garfath in April 1974. In court he was described as \"the emperor of porn\". He was found guilty and sentenced to eight years in prison. In 1977 Humphreys claimed he had been framed by Detective Chief Inspector John Bland, conspiring with criminals, because of the suspension of Drury. Humphreys and Rusty decided to co-operate fully with the police in an attempt to earn him an early release. Rusty handed a second of Humphreys's diaries over to Deputy Assistant Commissioner Gilbert Kelland, who was in charge of A10 (Complaints Investigation) Branch. Humphreys was interviewed at"}, {"text": "length by A10, and surprised detectives by his detailed memory of events.

The data are presented in the form of columns separated by spaces or tabs. This format was developed during the Human Genome Project and then adopted by other sequencing projects. As a result of this increasingly wide use, this format had already become a \"de facto\" standard in bioinformatics before a formal specification was written. One of the advantages of this format is the manipulation of coordinates instead of nucleotide sequences, which optimizes the power and computation time when comparing all or part of genomes. In addition, its simplicity makes it easy to manipulate and read (or parsing) coordinates or annotations using word processing and scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, or Perl or more specialized tools such as BEDTools. History. The end of the 20th century saw the emergence of the first projects to sequence complete genomes. Among these projects, the Human Genome Project was the most ambitious at the time, aiming to sequence for the first time a genome of several gigabases. This required the sequencing centres to carry out major methodological development in order to automate"}, {"text": "the processing of sequences and their analyses. Thus, many formats were created, such as FASTQ, GFF, and BED. However, no official specifications were published at the time, which affected some formats such as FASTQ when sequencing projects multiplied at the beginning of the 21st century. Its wide use within genome browsers has made it possible to define this format in a relatively stable way as this description is used by many tools. Format. Initially the BED format did not have any official specification. Instead, the description provided by the UCSC Genome Browser has been widely used as a reference. A formal BED specification was published in 2021 under the auspices of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health. Description. A BED file consists of a minimum of three columns to which nine optional columns can be added for a total of twelve columns. The first three columns contain the names of chromosomes or scaffolds, the start, and the end coordinates of the sequences considered. The next nine columns contain annotations related to these sequences. These columns must be separated by spaces or tabs, the latter being recommended for reasons of compatibility between programs. Each row of a file must have"}, {"text": "the same number of columns. The order of the columns must be respected: if columns of high numbers are used, the columns of intermediate numbers must be filled in. Header. A BED file can optionally contain a header. However, there is no official description of the format of the header. It may contain one or more lines and be signified by different words or symbols, depending on its functional role or simply descriptive. Thus, a header line can begin with these words or symbol: Coordinate system. Unlike the coordinate system used by other standards such as GFF, the system used by the BED format is zero-based for the coordinate start and one-based for the coordinate end. Thus, the nucleotide with the coordinate 1 in a genome will have a value of 0 in column 2 and a value of 1 in column 3. A thousand-base BED interval with the following start and end: chr7 0 1000 would convert to the following 1-based \"human\" genome coordinates, as used by a genome browser such as UCSC: chr7 1 1000 This choice is justified by the method of calculating the lengths of the genomic regions considered, this calculation being based on the simple"}, {"text": "subtraction of the end coordinates (column 3) by those of the start (column 2): formula_1. When the coordinate system is based on the use of 1 to designate the first position, the calculation becomes slightly more complex: formula_2. This slight difference can have a relatively large impact in terms of computation time when data sets with several thousand to hundreds of thousands of lines are used. Alternatively, we can view both coordinates as zero-based, where the end position is non-inclusive. In other words, the zero-based end position denotes the index of the first position after the feature. For the example above, the zero-based end position of 1000 marks the first position after the feature including positions 0 through 999. Examples.

The number of columns sometimes is noted in the file extension, for example: \".bed3\", \".bed4\", \".bed6\", \".bed12\". Usage. The use of BED files has spread rapidly with the emergence of new sequencing techniques and the manipulation of larger and larger sequence files. The comparison of genomic sequences or even entire genomes by comparing the sequences themselves can quickly require significant computational resources and become time-consuming. Handling BED files makes this work more efficient by using coordinates to extract sequences of interest from sequencing sets or to directly compare and manipulate two sets of coordinates. To perform these tasks, various programs can be used to manipulate BED files, including but not limited to the following: .genome Files.
