The greater prairie chicken or pinnated grouse (Tympanuchus cupido), sometimes called a boomer,[2] is a large bird in the grousefamily. This North Americanspecies was once abundant, but has become extremely rare and extirpated over much of its range due to habitat loss.[2] Conservation measures are underway to ensure the sustainability of existing small populations. One of the most famous aspects of these creatures is the mating ritual called booming.

Adults of both sexes are medium to large chicken-like bird, stocky, with round-wings. They have short tails which are typically rounded and blue in color. Adult males have orange comb-like feathers over their eyes and dark, elongated head feathers that can be raised or lain along neck. They also possess a circular, un-feathered neck patch which can be inflated while displaying; this, like their comb feathers, is also orange. As with many other bird species, the adult females have shorter head feathers and also lack the male's yellow comb and orange neck patch.

The heath hen, Tympanuchus cupido cupido, which was historically found along the Atlantic coast, is extinct. It was possibly a distinct species; in this case the two other forms would be T. pinnatus pinnatus and T. p. attwateri.

Greater prairie chickens prefer undisturbed prairie and were originally found in tall grass prairies. They can tolerate agricultural land mixed with prairie, but fewer prairie chickens are found in areas that are more agricultural. Their diet consists primarily of seeds and fruit, but during the summer they also eat insects and green plants. These birds were once widespread all across the oak savanna and tall grass prairie ecosystem.

The greater prairie chicken was almost extinct in the 1930s due to hunting pressure and habitat loss. They now only live on small parcels of managed prairie land. It is thought that their current population is approximately 459,000 individuals.[citation needed] In May 2000, the Canadian Species at Risk Act listed the greater prairie chicken as extirpated in its Canadian range (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario).[3] It was again confirmed by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada in November 2009.[4] Nonetheless, sightings and encounters continue to occur in the south-central regions of Alberta and Saskatchewan, along with southern Ontario where sightings are extremely rare.[5]

In states such as Iowa and Missouri that once had thriving prairie chicken populations (estimated to be hundreds of thousands[6]), total numbers have dropped to about 500. However, the Missouri Department of Conservation has started a program to import prairie chickens from Kansas in the hopes that they will be able to repopulate the state and increase that number to 3,000.

Central Wisconsin is home to approximately 600 individuals, down from 55,000 when hunting was prohibited in 1954. Though this area was predominately spruce and tamarack marsh before European settlement, early pioneers drained the marshes and attempted to farm the poor soil. As the prairies to the south and west were lost to agriculture and development, and the southern half of Wisconsin was logged, the prairies spread northward into the abandoned farmland. Today, over 30,000 acres are managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as greater prairie chicken habitat. Birdwatchers travel from around the world to visit Wisconsin in April for the Central Wisconsin Prairie Chicken Festival, started in 2006 by Golden Sands Resource Conservation & Development Council, Inc.

Greater prairie chickens are not threatened by severe winter weather. When the snow is thick they "dive" into the snow to keep warm. A greater threat to the prairie chickens comes in the form of spring rains. These sometimes drenching rains can wreak havoc on their chicks. Another major natural threat is drought. A drought can destroy food and make it difficult for the chicks.

Human interactions are by far the greatest threat. The conversion of native prairie to cropland is very detrimental to these birds. It was found in a radio telemetry study conducted by Kansas State University that "most prairie chicken hens avoided nesting or rearing their broods within a quarter-mile of power lines and within a third-mile of improved roads." (Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks) It was also found that the prairie-chickens avoided communication towers and rural farms.

Greater prairie chickens do not migrate. They are territorial birds and often defend their booming grounds. These booming grounds are the area in which they perform their displays in hopes of attracting females. Their displays consist of inflating air sacs located on the side of their neck and snapping their tails. These booming grounds usually have very short or no vegetation. The male prairie-chickens stay on this ground displaying for almost two months. The breeding season usually begins in the United States starting in Late March throughout April. During this time the males establish booming sites where they display for the females. The one or two most dominant males will do about 90% of the mating. Due to their now small populations and habitat fragmentation the greater prairie chickens often undergo inbreeding causing observable inbreeding depression: with fewer offspring and a decreased survival rate within these limited offspring further aiding their population decrease.

After mating has taken place, the females will move about one mile from the booming grounds and begin to build their nests. Hens lay between 5 and 17 eggs per clutch and the eggs take between 23 and 24 days to hatch. There are between five and 10 young per brood. (INRIN, 2005). The young are raised by the female and fledge in one to four weeks, are completely independent by the tenth to twelfth week, and reach sexual maturity by age one (Ammann, 1957). One problem facing prairie chickens is competition with the ring-necked pheasants. Pheasants will lay their eggs in prairie-chicken nests. The pheasant eggs hatch first; this causes the prairie chickens to leave the nest thinking that the young have hatched. In reality the eggs did not hatch and the young usually die because the mother is not there to incubate the eggs.

Californian police are now investigating the tunnel brawl that left a Welsh Sevens player unfit to continue in the Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament in San Francisco yesterday.

Further details of the altercation that saw Tom Williams removed from play have also emerged.

Williams, who was withdrawn by Wales ahead of the final day of the competition, was described as ‘bleeding heavily’ following what appears to have been a fairly one-sided brawl in the tunnel of the AT&T Stadium.

According to reports Williams wasn’t the only player involved in the fracas, and the Californian Police Department are now involved.

? Tom Williams said to be "bleeding heavily" after the alleged assault. This is ugly. #RWC7s

The incident happened following Wales’ game with Samoa, which they won 24-19.

The Welsh Rugby Union have issued a statement saying that Samoa have “provisionally suspended one of their players.”

“After medical assessment relating to the incident, Tom Williams was ruled out of the match against Ireland,” the statement added.

The Samoan player that was suspended was Gordon Langkilde, who took also no further part in the tournament.

Williams Welsh teammate Luke Treharne told The Independent that a number of other players had also been injured.

“There was an incident. I am not sure how much I can say but a couple of our boys were pretty seriously injured at the end of it, and the police are involved,” he told the newspaper.

“It was shock. When everything comes out you will see all the details of it – it is pretty shocking stuff.”

World Rugby have stated: “World Rugby can confirm that a Samoa player has been provisionally suspended from Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018 following an initial investigation into an alleged incident in the tunnel area after a match between Samoa and Wales at AT&T Park on Saturday.

“The alleged behaviour is not aligned with the sport’s values and the excellent spirit in which this competition has been played by the 40 participating teams.

“World Rugby has instigated an investigation and it would be inappropriate to make any further comment until the conclusion of that process. The Samoa player will remain provisionally suspended until the final conclusion of that process.”


Q:

Clojure evaluation without SLIME

I'm a starter with Emacs (but quite experienced Vim user) and trying to play with Emacs+Clojure combination. Maybe my setup will be unusual for Emacs world, as I'm not using SLIME/swank-clojure, but Emacs + eshell with running clojure REPL in it, mostly due simplicity (or probably because SLIME quite scares me off :D).
So, maybe there is a Emacs guru that can help me here: does exists any shortcut (or maybe some elisp sample) to copy/paste code chunks (sexps) from editing buffer to eshell (and possibly execute it)?
Thanks.

A:

I think, that you could use standard inferior-lisp command, specifying proper clojure startup command in inferior-lisp-program variable

Q:

Как убрать float?

Здравствуйте. Есть такой JSON:
{
  "cardPAN": 4916833222473083,
  "text3": "--",
  "text2": "--"
}

Если сделать json_decode, получится:
["cardPAN"]=> float(4.91683322247E+15). Как можно перевести cardPAN в нормальный вид?
P.S: Номер карты случайно генерированный.

A:

Часто помогает чтение официальной документации:
http://php.net/manual/ru/function.json-decode.php

options
  Битовая маска опций декодирования JSON. В настоящий момент поддерживается только JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING (по умолчанию большие целые числа приводятся к числам с плавающей запятой (float))

Далее эту строку можно преобразовать в BIGINT, если требуется.

A:

Правильнее всего будет перед отправкой преобразовывать cardPAN в строку.
Поскольку данное значение - это не номер, а набор знаков. И поскольку никакие арифметические операции над ним не планируются, то во избежание подобных конфликтов желательно обрабатывать его как строку.
Ну а чтобы буквально ответить на вопрос, то потребуется 64-битный РНР.
В 32-битной версии результат json_decode() по умолчанию всегда будет таким. Как показано в соседнем ответе, есть специальный флаг, который исправляет это поведение.

T9.1 Aftermarket shrouds

After extensive search. I have yet to find aftermarket shroud options for the T9.1 other than opsgears mp7 kit. And even that from what I hear does not fit on the .1 due to the backblock air. Has anyone been able to find or mod their own shroud? I saw a thread where a guy used an m4 sir shroud (from an airsoft company iirc) that fit albeit with a gap between the barrel and body. It was seemingly secure and without wobble. His plan was to use it to finish his project X7 M4 SIR. This led me to believe an aftermarket X7 shroud could fit though it may require some minor modding.*


Let me show you an absolutely
spectacular pasta dish, a meal for two
that is so fast. For a taste sensation,
get some sustainable hot smoked salmon
fresh asparagus, an unwaxed lemon, dried taglierini pasta and gorgeous crème fraîche.
It's so good you're gonna love
it, and it's such a big flavourful dish
for such a quick quick thing to do. So
pan of boiling water on, let's start off
with the primary ingredient, the hot
smoked salmon. You can get it in all the
supermarket's, gorgeous skin, flesh, and
that wonderful colour. There's such a lot
of flavour for one ingredient, right here.
So this goes in a pan, dry pan, skin side
down, and we're on a medium heat here.
What I want to achieve is crispy skin
it's gonna be really really good. Hot
smoked salmon it's a total time saver
because it's already cooked, so just heat
it through and get the skin gorgeously
golden. Now asparagus, I'm going to use a
little gadget which is a speed peeler
and we're gonna just take this peeler
from the base to the tip, and what's
beautiful is the elegance,
you know the precision, love that. As soon
as it gets tricky, which is about now,
that we'll put to the side and of course
the way you cut vegetables and
ingredients, changes the way it tastes.
Put the ribbons to the side for later, then
chop up the leftover asparagus removing
any woody ends. Make it quite fine okay,
because your taglierini
is delicate, and you want this to stick
around that beautiful pasta. So salmon's
been in there for like a minute I want
to turn the salmon, and it's skin should
just peel off effortlessly, and then a
little bit like pork scratchings I want
to get this crispy. So put the skin the
other side down, just a little oil and
we're gonna go in with the chopped
asparagus
and then if you look and see it
rendering, getting super crispy. We can
use our lovely unwaxed lemon just a few
strokes, just the lemon zest gives such
flavour. So look lets have a little look
here, look at that you can see how
delicate that is. Skin's getting crispier,
this is gonna be great, right this pasta
cooks in like three, four minutes.
I've got boiling water here, season it
always important, you want about 150g of dried pasta there. So just
break the pasta up and then let it
boil, when that salmon skin is really
nice and crisp, look at that! It's popping and spitting, take this out and I'll just put
that like that, and then I can introduce
lemon juice. It will literally just move the
salmon and asparagus around, and when
it's kind of cooked away I'm just gonna
grab this pasta and throw it in. You can
drain it in a colander if you want but
if you've got tongs you can do this. Once
you've done that, then the last
ingredient is wonderful crème fraîche,
about a tablespoon goes in. A little bit
of relief from the smokiness, and I want
to contrast that with the heat from
pepper. A generous dusting, and then we
can jiggle the pan around, I'm gonna add
a little bit of cooking water and this
will kind of almost relax the crème fraîche
and I'm going to turn the heat
off now. Look at that
oh this is gonna be good guys, it's gonna
be so good. Just before serving up, throw
the asparagus ribbons into the pan to
give them a quick blast of heat, look at
the colour, really really nice, beautiful.
All I do now is go back to my crispy bit of
salmon, and you've got every last bit of
flavour from that salmon, and if you want
to drizzle it with a little oil, and the
important thing about pasta is not to talk, eat.
Big flavour, real food, real cooking, fun
to make, not just quick. Flipping
delicious, what you waiting for? You
shouldn't even be watching anymore.

US President Donald Trump said the announcement would be made at 7:00 pm (0000 GMT), and that he had spoken to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, but did not give more detail.

A senior administration official said the announcement would be made by South Korean National Security Advisor Chung Eui-yong at the White House, who will be joined by White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

The South Korean official is currently visiting Washington to brief US allies about his talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang.

South Korea announced Tuesday that the North had stated there was “no reason” to hold on to its nuclear weapons “if military threats towards the North are cleared and the security of its regime is guaranteed.”

The North is open to “frank” talks with the United States on denuclearization and would suspend missile and nuclear tests while dialogue was under way, Chung said after returning from a meeting in Pyongyang with Kim.

Trump welcomed the offer as “very positive” and refused to rule out a historic meeting with Kim. “We have come a long way at least rhetorically with North Korea,” Trump said.

However his Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats told Congress he was “quite skeptical” and Vice President Mike Pence said the US position towards North Korea would not change “until we see credible, verifiable, and concrete steps toward denuclearization.”

In the past North Korea has indicated that security guarantees mean US forces leave the Korean peninsula and break a mutual defense treaty with the South.

Breakthrough or stalling?

Seoul had earlier announced the two Koreas would hold a historic summit in the Demilitarized Zone next month — and that the North’s leader Kim Jong Un was ready to halt provocative missile and nuclear tests and sit down with its old enemies.

Although Trump’s response was positive, his administration followed it up with another sharp rebuke when it declared that it had formally concluded that Kim’s regime had last year murdered his half-brother in a Malaysian airport with the banned VX nerve agent.

Trump also sounded a note of warning, signaling the threat of military action remains on the table should talks fail to make headway, and his administration said it would press ahead with potentially provocative joint war games with South Korea.

The United States says Pyongyang is testing — and will soon complete — an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of delivering a nuke to the continental United States.

That ominous technological breakthrough would put cities like Los Angeles and even New York in striking distance of a hostile regime, something that is unthinkable to many in the West Wing.

The offer of talks, not yet publicly confirmed by North Korea, is a tantalizing one for the White House — offering a possible off-ramp from the road to a bloody war. But it is also fraught with risks.

On multiple occasions, Kim’s father Kim Jong Il dangled the prospect of talks and denuclearization as a means of buying time, easing sanctions and dividing South Korea from its allies.

This invention relates to an air cleaner, and more particularly to a scrubbing type air cleaner which can be operated in a low cost and effectively remove particulates and solvable pollutants in air.
In the air pollution control field, a scrubbing method have advantages in simple operation and high efficient removal of particulates and solvable pollutants in the air. Various apparatus utilizing such a method, such as the spraying tower, Venturi scrubber and the packed tower have been widely used in many sites for processing polluted air. Taiwan Patent Application No. 56,526 discloses a multi-layer air cleaner in which the polluted air is pumped into a purifying tank and is filtered by the operation of a rapid eddy in water caused by the air stream. The purified air rising up and entering into a second layer having a cone shape generates a rapid eddy in water again and is thus purified by water again. The purified air is pumped out by a venting apparatus disposed on the upper portion of the air cleaner. This apparatus has disadvantages in limited processing speed and complex structure. Taiwan Patent Application No. 81,209,751 discloses an indoor water sprayer which can also work as an air cleaner. The sprayer is provided with a circulating pump and a nozzle. Water pumped by the circulating pump will be sprayed upward via the nozzle for scrubbing the air. This sprayer may have a better mixing effect of air and liquid, but the nozzle is easily blocked.
One object of this invention is to provide an air cleaner which can effectively perform a purifying operation of mass air in a low cost, and is adapted to be used in the peripheries of sites and roads for reducing air pollution in the working area and urban.
Another object of this invention is to provide an air cleaner which is provided with a fine-drop generating means for achieving high mixing effect of air and liquid without a problem that a nozzle is easily blocked.
Still another object of this invention is to provide an air cleaner which can recycle scrubbing water and thus has economic operation cost.
According to one aspect of this invention, an air cleaner comprises:
a scrubber including a housing being provided with a central tank for containing scrubbing water at lower portion thereof and having an air outlet for discharging air at a side wall thereof, a barrel being disposed inside the housing so as to form a scrubbing room with the central tank, an air pump being disposed on top of the housing for pumping air into the scrubbing room in a high speed via a pipe extending downward to the central tank so as to force scrubbing water contained in the central tank sprayed upward and scattered, and one or a plurality of perforated middle barrels being disposed inside the scrubbing room in a manner coaxial with the central tank for dividing the sprayed and scattered water into fine drops;
a water purifier having a filtering layer and an activated carbon part for purifying the scrubbing water discharged from a water discharging pipe connecting the central tank and the water purifier; and
a water feeding means being disposed on the upper portion of the scrubbing room for supplying scrubbing water into the central tank from the water purifier through a water supplying pipe connecting the water feeding means and the water purifier.
According to another aspect of this invention, the barrel in the air cleaner is further provided with an inner air outlet at one side wall, and the water feeder further has an flat water outlet disposed above the inner air outlet for generating a water-curtain falling down to the inner air outlet.
According to still another aspect of this invention, a plurality of perforated filtering plates are disposed around an area outside the inner air outlet for performing an additional scrubbing operation in conjunction with the water-curtain.
According to still another aspect of this invention, an upper limit of water level in the central tank is about half the height of the central tank.
According to another aspect of this invention, a water-mill type activated carbon adsorbing apparatus comprises a plurality of symmetrical separation plates and an activated carbon bag disposed between each pair of adjacent separation plates and is adapted to be rotated in a water purifier by a drive motor so as to adsorb pollutants in water.


The latest version of the ProtonVPN application for Windows adds two new features that make it even more secure and easier to use. Version 1.10 of our Windows app has the Smart Protocol feature, and it will automatically connect to the next best server if your VPN connection attempt fails.

Smart Protocol

Have you ever had your attempts to connect to our VPN repeatedly fail while you were at work or university? There’s a good chance these networks were blocking the transmission protocol you were using. Our new Smart Protocol feature ensures this will never happen to you again.

OpenVPN, the VPN protocol that our Windows app uses, supports both the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). These protocols both determine how the ProtonVPN app sends and receives the data packets that make up your Internet traffic. While TCP and UDP handle these packets differently, the more important property when it comes to evading VPN blocks is what port they use. A port is the endpoint or point of origin for your online traffic.

Learn more: What’s the difference between UDP and TCP?

UDP uses port 1194, which is the default port for OpenVPN. This makes it relatively easy for Internet service providers (ISPs) or network administrators to block it. TCP, on the other hand, can be configured to use port 443, the same port that handles that vast majority of Internet traffic. Blocking that port without potentially making a large portion of the Internet inaccessible is much more difficult.

Port UDP-1194 and port TCP-443 are the ports ProtonVPN app uses by default. There are other backup ports for both UDP and TCP in case these ports are blocked. (We do not want to list them here as then hostile ISPs and networks could block them.) If the main port for either UDP or TCP is blocked, the app will search through the backup ports and use the one that offers the fastest connection.

When Smart Protocol is enabled, the ProtonVPN app will attempt to connect to the VPN server using UDP. If the app detects that your connection is blocked, it will automatically switch from UDP to TCP and try to connect again. Smart Protocol is the default transmission protocol for the app and any user-created profiles.

Connect to next best server

Not all failed connections are the result of ISPs or network blocks on VPNs. Sometimes the server you have chosen to connect to is under maintenance, other times there are network issues. Now, if the Windows app fails to connect to a server, it will automatically try to connect to the next best server, as determined by the server’s location and load.

If you don’t already have ProtonVPN on your computer, download our Windows app today to start protecting your online activity.

For those who already use our Windows app, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram and let us know what you think about these new updates. We hope you enjoy them!

Endophytic Fungi Associated With Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) Can Inhibit Histamine-Forming Bacteria in FishEris SeptianaPrimary AuthorPartomuan SimanjuntakAdditional AuthorNampiah SukarnoAdditional AuthorSukarnoAdditional Authormixed materialbibliography2017enEnglish
Publikasi Staf Biotek
24: 46-52.HAYATI Journal of BiosciencesTurmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is a medicinal plant that is commonly used as spice and preservative. Many types of endophytic fungi have been reported as being associated with medicinal plants and able to synthesize secondary metabolites. In this study, endophytic fungi were isolated from all plant parts of turmeric plants. Identification of the endophytic fungi was done using morphological characteristics and sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA. The dual culture method was used for screening antibacterial activity of the endophytic fungi against Morganella morganii, a common histamine-producing bacteria. The disc diffusion method was used to test the ability of water fractions of selected endophytic fungi to inhibit M. morganii growth. Two-dimensional thin layer chromatography was used to determine the fungal extract inhibition activity on histamine formation. In total, 11 endophytic fungi were successfully isolated and identified as Arthrobotrys foliicola, Cochliobolus kusanoi, Daldinia eschscholzii, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium proliferatum, Fusarium solani, Fusarium verticillioides, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and Phaeosphaeria ammophilae. Five isolates showed inhibition activity against M. morganii in the dual culture tests. Based on the disc diffusion assay, A. foliicola and F. verticillioides inhibited the growth of M. morganii as a histamine-producing bacteria, and inhibiting histamine formation in fish. The best effects in inhibiting growth of the histamine-producing bacteria and histamine formation inhibition in fish were produced with F. verticillioides water fraction at 0 °C incubation.

Return of the wanderer!

My little escapee returned this morning. Even though I had looked there earlier, The Husband found her inside the fence she had escaped from last night. Safe and sound, but she certainly has not learned her lesson. You can see in the photo they are making their way to the top of the log inside the fence, looking for another chance to be free.

Little yellow chickie has no trouble keeping up with her 3 cellmates. Her injured foot and wing seem to have healed. She is a few days younger (maybe a week) than the others, and has some catching up to do in size, but otherwise seems to be healthy.

The Cayuga ducks were getting to know their new friends inside the fence for a few hours this morning, and then we set them all free. Not sure if they have been enjoying their freedom yet, but their environment even inside the fence is a huge improvement to their previous home. The baby ducks are full size now. The darker one looks almost like her daddy, but with more interesting "penciling" on her feathers. The lighter one looks just like her momma.

If they are indeed 3 females and 1 male, we can expect some truly interesting looking babies from this bunch. Or maybe we will just eat their eggs and enjoy the 4 of them as they are...

About Me

KatyDaly and The Husband are now happily ensconced in their new home in upstate NY. This is a story of the building process, from financing, to hole in the ground, to removing the 1959 Detroiter and making the place look respectable! We're still working on the respectable part...

Q:

MATLAB m-file help formatting

I could not find what formatting available to write help for your own MATLAB function. Very little information is available in official documentation.
Do you know about any other formatting that can be visible with Help Browser (not with help function)? As it is for built-in functions. How to format headings (like Syntax, Description, Examples)? Are bullets, tables possible? Or may be it should be a separate file?
I've tried text markup as used for PUBLISH and HTML, didn't work.
I found only one interesting thing. If your function contains mixed case, like testHelpFunction, its name will be highlighted:

No highlighting if it's just testhelpfunction.
Any other thoughts?
UPDATE
Here is extensive documentation I found on creating your own help files:
Providing Your Own Help and Demos
(Dead link replaced with web archive link)

(Dead link removed)

Updated again:

Add Help for Your Program
Display Custom Documentation

A:

Try this other section in the official documentation. It's more thorough. MATLAB > User's Guide > Desktop Tools and Development Environment > Customizing Help and Demos > Providing Your Own Help and Demos. This describes both simple helptext and generating separate HTML help files.
Here's the helptext formatting I've picked up on and found useful.
function foo(x,y,z)
%FOO One-line description goes here
%
% foo(x,y,z)
%
% Multi-line paragraphs of descriptive text go here. It's fine for them to
% span lines. It's treated as preformatted text; help() and doc() will not
% re-wrap lines. In the editor, you can highlight paragraphs, right-click,
% and choose "Wrap selected comments" to re-flow the text.
%
% More detailed help is in the extended_help">extended help.
% It's broken out like this so you can keep the main "help foo" text on
% a single screen, and then break out obscure parts to separate sections.
%
% Examples:
% foo(1,2,3)
%
% See also:
% BAR
% SOMECLASS/SOMEMETHOD

disp(x+y+z);

function extended_help
%EXTENDED_HELP Some additional technical details and examples
%
% Here is where you would put additional examples, technical discussions,
% documentation on obscure features and options, and so on.

error('This is a placeholder function just for helptext');

The first line after the function signature is called the "H1 line". It needs to be just one line so it is properly picked up by contentsrpt(), which can autogenerate a Contents.m file from the helptext in your functions
The function name in the H1 line is all caps, regardless of actual capitalization of the function name in the signature
Case matters for the "See also". I'm not sure which all cases work; this one does for sure.
Function names after "See also:" are all caps. Method names are qualified; I think names of methods in the same class as the current method can be unqualified.

Everything between the H1 line and "Examples:" is just a conventional formatting that I find readable; help() doesn't treat it specially.
You can use a limited form of hyperlinks in help. In particular, you can use  hyperlinks to invoke arbitrary Matlab commands, and point to other sections of helptext by having it invoke help(). You can use this to point to any function; "function>subfunction" is just the syntax for addressing subfunctions in help() calls. Unfortunately, since you need to put either "help" or "doc" in those hyperlinks, it only works in one or the other presentation form. It would be nicer if there were a direct helptext hyperlink form.

A:

I think the most important aspect in help formatting is that there is a help at all, and that your formatting is consistent, so that you (and people working with you) don't waste time finding out how to look for the information. Note that for OOP, it is useful to have a superclass with a 'help'-method that calls doc(class(obj)), since you cannot easily access the help from an instantiation of your class
To help me be consistent (and to make sure I don't forget stuff), I have created an automatic function template on the file exchange.
Here's the minimal header
function testhelp
%TESTHELP is an example (this is the H1 line)
%
% SYNOPSIS: a=testhelp(b,c)
%
% INPUT b: some input parameter
%       c: (opt) some optional input parameter. Default: []
%
% OUTPUT a: some output parameter
%
% REMARKS This is just an example, it won't run
%
% SEE ALSO testHelpFunction
%
% created with MATLAB ver.: 7.11.0.584 (R2010b) on Mac OS X  Version: 10.6.4 Build: 10F569
%
% created by: Jonas
% DATE: 01-Oct-2010
%

A:

I figure there is some (see example), but I've never found the appropriate documentation. I often have such blocks:
% ...
%
% See also:
%   this_other_function()
%
% <author>

And the See also part is formatted as a title, but if you replace See also by something else, it doesn't work. If anyone finds the list of such supported titles, please link to it here!
EDIT:
I've recently come to learn about matlab's built-in publishing system. It seems MATLAB comments support some form of markup not so far from Markdown's syntax (as used on SO itself), with support for LaTeX equations and all.
There's a post by "Loren on the art of MATLAB" with a short introduction on publishing and markup. For a full reference, see Making Up MATLAB Comments for Publishing on the Mathworks website.
When your code is ready, you can export the result to HTML/PDF/XML, etc. using the publish() function. I use the following snippet to export my files:
    % Other formats are supported, refer to documentation.
options.format = 'html';

    % I don't evaluate the code, especially for functions that require arguments.
    % However, if providing a demo, turning this on is a fantastic way to embed
    % figures in the resulting document.
options.evalCode = false;

    % You can run this in a loop over files in the currrent directory if desired.
publish('script.m', options);

How Christianity Damaged my Sexuality, Part 1: Sexual Assault

This post is further to a post from a while back about a dream about church. I’d had some songs by Delirious? rattling round my brain for weeks so I decided to listen to the tracks again and see what that did for me. It had the anticipated effect of removing those songs from my brain but it had some un-anticipated effects as well. This is a personal post about how Christianity fucked up my sexuality and is part one of two.

It describes various sexual assults and victim blaming thoughts. Content Note for everything after the cut. Please take care of yourself.

In listening to those songs and recalling how I felt when I listened to them as teen, and in paying actual attention to the lyrics, subtext and implications, feelings were aroused. Anger mainly. Fury and Rage. Pain and Regret. And finally, Heartbreak. Sorrow for my teenage self and disgust for the adults who had care of said teenager.

Simply put, I can barely begin to describe just how much damage my religious communities did to my sexuality and sense of self. I suffered so much harm that could have been avoided if I had been taught about consent in terms other than “no means no”.

Because what good is it knowing “no means no”,
if you feel you have no right to use it?!

There was so much shame and secrecy about sexual activities that I felt I had no one to turn to when things got difficult. If you’re not supposed to be having sex or “fooling around”, or even be considering it, who are you going to turn to when you don’t know what to do?

…

What are you going to do about the guy you had sex with and “lost your virginity to” because you wanted to and were looking forward to it, only to feel a ton of guilt come crashing down afterwards? The guilt that was so strong, the only course of action was to tell him you didn’t want to have sex with him again? A week after which he dumped you, leaving you feeling used and worthless, guilty and ashamed?

I was depressed for over sixth months after he broke up with me. I believed he’d been holding out for sex and once he got it, I was worthless to him.

I am still afraid that if I tell a guy “no” he’ll leave me.

I got myself in to far too many messy situations because of this belief, and even in stable relationships I have great difficulty saying no.

I still get scared every time I tell my beloved partner of three years I’m not in the mood for sex. I think he’ll be disappointed with me, that he’ll feel let down and cheated.

Because I owe him, right? I’m his girlfriend, his partner. If I don’t make sure he’s satisfied, bad things will happen.

I become deeply afraid that at some point, soon, he’ll break up with me and that will be that.

…

Who are you going to talk to about the guy who pressured you into giving him a blow job, only to tell you half way through you were crap, before finishing himself off by coming on your face?

We were on a youth group trip where sexual activity was forbidden and they were doing sweeps of the accomodation to check no-one was bed hopping. He shouldn’t even have been in my bed and so I thought it was my fault, even though it had gone way beyond what I wanted or consented to. That was straight up sexual assult but I told no-one. I felt so degraded by it that it was years before I felt able to give a blow job again, let alone enjoy it. When I did share that experience three years later with a close friend, they brushed it off –

It can’t have been that bad, right? It was years ago, why are you so bothered? What are you doing listening to some stupid guy?

…

Who are you going to tell about the childhood friend who assaulted you when you were 12 because you were too afraid to say no, you didn’t like it? Would you have told his parents, who were your parents’ friends? Would you have rocked the boat, and risked getting both him and yourself in trouble?

…

Who are you going to tell about your line manager at the holiday camp who assaulted you when you were working as a volunteer? Remember, you fancied this man – he made you feel special because he paid attention to you when you were lonely and socially isolated. He later invited you to his room to watch a movie and you agreed because you figured he was being friendly, but he ended up snuggling and kissing you while you were frozen in fear. All because he rubbed your shoulders and back in a way that made you feel you were 12 again. After which, you eventually escaped back to your room and shook and cried and screamed “Don’t Touch ME!” into your pillow, even as those decade old memories settled in your mind’s eye like they happened just yesterday?

What do you do later, when you find out he’s engaged to be married? What about a year after that, when you see him flirting with another young pretty woman your age, and feel bolts of jealousy strike as you see her leaving his room later that evening? Even though you know he’s no good and you don’t trust him. When you know in that instant that he does what he did with you with other people, who are not his now-wife? Oh and by this time, he’s been promoted several times and he’s popular and well-liked, whereas you’re just an infrequent volunteer.

And it’s so complicated because you fancied him, so that makes you partly to blame for what happened, surely? Even though your feminist learnings inform you that there was a massive power differential and that the victim is never to blame for their assault.

If you can even call it that because it was just a back rub, a bit of kissing and some boob-groping? It’s not like he raped you. I mean, you could just have got up and left, right? And lets not talk about how you agreed to watch a movie in his room – of course he wasn’t just interested in you as a friend! What were you thinking?! How could you be so STUPID?

…

All this and more has happened to me since I dated my first boyfriend

There are other stories but these will do for now.

…

All this because I never learned, no, was never taught, how to use my voice in my own defence. “No means no” is great but it’s hardly enough. Not againt the background of what I learned from the Church and Society, which is covered in Part 2.

…

Meanwhile, I will grieve for my hurts, for the wounds I should not have suffered

Post navigation

Although it goes without saying that your experiences are not your fault, hearing it, I’m sure does not lessen the impact. I’m sorry that you had to experience such miserable things. But rest assured not every man is oppressive in their desire for you. And I think some men are receptive to hearing “No”, although they might want to know it’s not their fault either. I know, for me, once I had a girlfriend many years ago that didn’t express to me she did not want sex and I had told her I would rather know that she wanted it or did nor want it, because I’m completely capable of waiting…because the last thing I would ever want is for someone to feel unsafe with me.

I find some intriguing similarities in this post, as well. I had similar guilt about losing my virginity…my first sexual experiences were with guys, and I felt immense guilt too. I wish there was someone to tell me what I was feeling and going through was “normal” and I shouldn’t be overly concerned by it.

There’s so much I know intellectually but feelings are often a different matter entirely and seem to be instinctive a lot of the time. I’ve lost count of the number of times Squisher has told me he *wants* me to tell him whether or not I want to do something, and it gets easier with practise but also, it is how it is. I have it on good authority that if you accept your feelings and instinctive reactions, rather than beating yourself up for them, it becomes easier to change them over time.

So I know desire doesn’t have to be toxic, and for sure as hell, the teenage guys I knew were just as influenced by society as I was, and were most likely making it up on the fly too! There are plenty of good guys around – it’s just realising no, actually, you don’t have to put up with the bad ones, and you do deserve to be happy, that takes a bit of time.

I’m sorry you were made to feel guilty too and that you had no-one to talk to. I was gonna say I was surprised that a guy would feel guilty about losing his virginity but then, as it was with guys, it makes perfect sense. Fuck homophobia!

Oh my, I just stumbled on this and read it and boggled at the screen and went YES.

For me there was also this idea that you should avoid “temptation”–which for me really reinforced victim-blaming mentalities and even just extreme discomfort saying “no” when I didn’t like something. I put myself in a situation where “temptation” happened, I have to deal with the consequences. If that makes sense. I’ve just recently begun recognizing how pervasive this kind of, well, call it “sexual activity I didn’t actually want but never explicitly said no to,” happened in my teens and 20s. So nice to read someone else’s take and realize it isn’t just me. So thanks for that.


Requirements for the activation of protein kinase C: comparison of the molecular geometries of phorbol and diacylglycerol.
MM2 calculations have been performed on a number of derivatives of phorbol and diacylglycerol (DAG) to establish the molecular features required for the activation of protein kinase C by a detailed comparison of the molecular geometries in these two classes of compounds. For DAG, a dihedral angle of about -60 degrees appears to be required for the oxygens at C2 and C3 because that angle is fixed at this value in phorbols. There is good agreement between the computed Boltzmann distribution for the O1-C1-C2-O2 dihedral angle and NMR results for the same angle in phospholipids, as obtained by others. A conformer of DAG is identified with dihedral angles corresponding to those of beta-phorbols. This conformer, however, is 3.2 kcal/mol above the global minimum found for DAG. The molecular geometry of this conformer is consistent with that of a number of active and inactive rigid analogues of DAG. The preferred conformation in beta-phorbol diesters is found to be stabilized by an antiparallel stacking of the ester carbonyl groups. The lack of activity of alpha-phorbol esters appears to be due to differences in a portion of the molecule containing the five-membered/seven-membered rings, which are far from the DAG-like end of the phorbol molecule. It is proposed that some of the biological activities of phorbol diesters may be due to this portion of the beta-phorbol molecule, which might represent a second active region, distinct from that resembling DAG.


[Repeated abortions, sterility and systemic dysimmunopathy (author's transl)].
A patient with lupus disease had a previous medical history of five recurrent temporary bouts of thrombopenia which were followed by spontaneous abortions. This raises the two-fold problem of the relationship between circulating immune complexes disease and thrombopenia, and dysimmunopathy and pregnancy disorders. The hypothesis is raised of a trophoblastic necrotizing angeitis due to abnormal immunity processes involved in some cases of sterility, spontaneous abortions, and even nephropathies during pregnancy.

Michelago

Michelago  is a locality in the Monaro region of New South Wales, Australia. The locality is in the Snowy Monaro Regional Council local government area,  south of Canberra on the Monaro Highway. It was founded in the 1820s, on the main route from Sydney to the Snowy Mountains. At the , Michelago had a population of 562.

Location
Michelago is situated in a valley between two mountain ranges, the Tinderry Range to the East and the Clear Range to the west. A road crosses the Tinderrys from Michelago, leading ultimately to the 1950s silver mining settlement Captains Flat. The highest peaks in the picturesque Tinderry Range reach approximately 1600m above sea level, while Michelago itself has an elevation of around 800m. The Murrumbidgee River separates the village from the Clear Range. The Michelago Creek passes through the village, and is a source of water for the residents. Its catchment area is in the Tinderry Range, and after passing the town the creek flows into the Murrumbidgee River. It has been claimed that Michelago represents the territorial divide between white-backed and black-backed magpies on the Monaro Highway from Canberra to Cooma.

History and bushranging

Currie and Ovens explored the Michelago region in 1823 and the first settlement proceeded soon thereafter, involving the ex-convict couple, Emmanuel and Catherine Elliot. The explorer Dr John Lhotsky claimed that his journey in 1834 south from the Limestone Plains toward Michelago represented a descent into what he considered barbarism: no church south of Sutton Forest, no window pane south of Canberra, no white woman south of Michelago.

Six hundred and forty acres of Crown Land at “Miccelago” were advertised to be sold on 9 December 1835. The community was served by a licensed Inn by 1850.

The first Monaro Superintendent of Police, the Corsican Francis Nicholas Rossi, built an ironbark slab homestead in the region called Micilago on 35,000 acres (14,175 hectares) in 1837; this station was bought in 1859 by Alexander Ryrie who married Charlotte Faunce the daughter of Alured Tasker Faunce the police magistrate at Queanbeyan; one of their children being Granville Ryrie, later a General in World War I, knighted and involved with the League of Nations in Geneva. Alexander Ryrie who'd renamed his property Michalago, built St Thomas' church in the village of Michelago and life for those in the area was very self-sufficient, with income from wool, cattle for meat, milk and butter, locally grown fruit and vegetables, with soap and tallow candles also being made by hand.

A big social event was the picnic races and over 200 people attended the Michelago Public School picnic in 1906. During the 1930-50's eucalyptus stilling was a profitable occupation in the Tinderry Range above Michelago and a drum of eucalyptus oil (44 gallons or 200L) was worth 100 pounds on site in the 1940s. Notable families of the early years of Michelago include the Cotters, Kellys, Shanahans, Lawlers, McTernans and Poveys.  Many of their descendants still live in the region.

Lea-Scarlett notes that in October 1840 a gang of five bushrangers broke out of the lockup at Queanbeyan and police magistrate Captain Faunce had to give chase to Michelago before he recaptured them. On 1 June 1866 a bushranging gang consisting of the Clarke brothers, Patsy Connell and two accomplices held up Michelago town (which then consisted of Thomas Kennedy's Hibernian Hotel, a police station and lockup, Abraham Levy's store, a Church of England schoolhouse, a Catholic church and a few houses) and drank its entire liquor supply before staggering off to their rocky hide-out called 'Beefcask' in the Tinderrys.

In February 1866, two armed men robbed the post office, destroyed the letters and escaped with three horses, one of them a race horse.

St Patrick’s Catholic Church, a small building made of stone, was too small for its congregation by 1906 and it was decided to build a new brick church. The foundation stone for the Michelago Memorial Church was laid in October 1906. The bricks were locally made from red clay and 75,000 were used. The building was roofed with slate. The cost of construction was £1,134 pounds and six shillings, of which £50 was the architects fee. He was James Nangle and the builder Mr J. G. Taylor, both of Sydney. The building had seating for 150 people and it was officially opened on 28 April 1907.

Railway

The railway to the town opened on 7 December 1887 and Bernard Ferris's railway pub at Michelago established during the construction period was called the 'Navvies' Arms'. In the 1920s Michelago was visited by the Great White Train with fifteen exhibition coaches encouraging people to 'Buy Australian Made'. The railway line closed in 1989—along with the rest of the line from Queanbeyan to Cooma. From 1993 until 1997, the Australian Railway Historical Society ACT Division operated the line to Michelago as a heritage railway. However, as the line deteriorated, services were truncated to Royalla (approx  north). Due to significant damage to some of the older wooden bridges in the 2010 floods near Queanbeyan, the ARHS ACT is unlikely ever to run to Michelago again. To the south, the railway is also disused between Michelago and Chakola, and a 1990s resurfacing of the Monaro Highway north of Bredbo, severed where the railway crossed the highway.

Heritage listings
Michelago has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
 Goulburn-Bombala railway: Ingalara Creek railway bridge, Michelago
 Goulburn-Bombala railway: Michelago railway station

Michelago in art, poetry and film

 The George Washington Lambert painting The Squatter's Daughter was painted at Michelago. Lambert also painted Michelago Landscape (both paintings are in the National Gallery of Australia collection) and wrote this poem about it:

"The sun is down and 'Micalago' is at rest
Like Chinese silk of faded gold, the grass and all the hills like breasts of turtle-doves
My soul could find a home 'midst blades of grass
And get its music from the whispering trees
These pleasant little hills that lure us on
To ride and ride until we reach beyond."

David Campbell wrote a poem The Squatter's Daughter about the funerals of Granville Ryrie and his daughter at Michelago:

"Veterans shed tears and limped the sweet-briar miles
Behind his guncarriage to Michelago
And now The Squatter's Daughter follows him:
The grey lake blurs beneath
Governor's Hill, her candid spirit mourned
By grandchildren with hair of daffodil."

The artist Robert Pengilley lives and paints in the Michelago region. In 1986 a painting of Ryrie's Creek by Pengilley was presented as a gift from the Australian Government to the People's Republic of China. Another of his works Storm over the Tinderrys is held by the Australian National University in Canberra.

The 1999 film Passion, about the life of Percy Grainger was partly filmed in Michelago. The 2004 Cate Shortland film Somersault included scenes filmed at the Ryrie homestead at Michelago; scenes from the Gillian Armstrong 1979 film My Brilliant Career were also shot at that location.

Bushfires
There was a big bushfire in the Tinderry Range in November 1957 which burnt out 90% of the reserve and was not contained until 24 December. In January 2003, bushfires ravaged the Canberra region and, spreading from Namadgi National Park, devastated much of the flora and bush landscape around Michelago, particularly down from the Clearview Road toward the Murrumbidgee River. While the village itself was not affected by the fires, several farms and houses were destroyed and mountains of the Clear Range were left blackened and barren. A bushfire which began on 17 December 2009 devastated the area east of Michelago, burning out over 9,000 hectares and destroying three homes and a sawmill.

Donald Trump is Mumbai builder's latest poster boy

Hoardings announce re-opening of sale for residences in Trump Tower on June 4; developer refutes claim of cashing in on Donald Trump's popularity in the United States

Make hay while Donald Trump’s sun shines — perhaps this was the thinking behind the Lodha developers’ recent announcement of the re-opening of sales for the ultra-luxurious residences in Trump Tower, Worli. The announcement comes in the wake of Donald Trump’s insurmountable lead as the Republican candidate for contesting the US Presidential poll. The project is a joint venture between Lodha and the Trump organisation.

One of the posters installed by Lodha developers along the under-construction Trump Tower in Worli. Pic/Datta Kumbhar

Posters installed by the developer along the project to attract prospective buyers read: ‘Trump is back’. With the smallest housing unit — 3 BHK — priced over R9 crore, bookings for the designer homes will start from June 4. Lodha’s website quotes Trump saying, “This project will be a jewel in the crown of Trump Projects.” The website also states that every house owner shall enjoy access to a private jet and a 7-acre private park.

‘Zero truth’Refuting the claims that the developer was trying to cash in on Trump’s popularity in the US to turn around the lukewarm response the Worli project had received during the previous sale, a Lodha spokesperson said, “Our current campaign for Trump Tower is in alignment with the group’s business calendar for the current financial year, and not related to Donald Trump’s nomination in any way. An iconic real estate brand such as Trump demands a unique approach in everything we do: right from planning to selling. Since the inception of our partnership with Trump in 2013, we have made conscious and careful choices in our go-to-market strategy, including offering limited inventory during a particular sale window.” The spokesperson added that the last inventory was offered in 2014, where the group successfully sold over 50 per cent of the residences, and the rest will be available for sale in June.

“Despite limited sales window, the enthusiasm and trust in Trump brand is well reflected with premiums as high as 30 per cent generated over other projects in the vicinity,” the spokesperson said.


1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a power storage device and a power converter using same, suitable for use in a power storage device such as a capacitor, a battery or the like which comprises a power storage element and a case, and a power converter which employs the power storage device in combination with an invertor circuit.
2. Description of Related Art
Power storage devices such as a capacitor, a battery or the like are used in electric and/or electronic circuits for storing and supplying electric power. As an example of a conventional power storage device, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor will be described below. The aluminum electrolytic capacitor comprises a wound capacitor element formed of electrodes, a dielectric material and insulating sheets, accommodated in a case, and a lid having electrode terminals connected to the electrodes of the capacitor element. The lid sealingly encloses the capacitor element in the case.
The capacitor, when applied with an alternate current voltage, generates heat since a power loss occurs within the element. In this event, since the capacitor element is more deteriorated as the element itself is heated to higher temperatures, the temperature at the capacitor element must be maintained lower in order to ensure a longer effective life. On the other hand, since the amount of heat generated by a capacitor is proportional to the electric capacitance of the capacitor, a poor cooling capability of the capacitor would result in a shorter effective life thereof. In addition, since a poor cooling capability does not permit a capacitor to have a larger capacitance, the capacitor itself must be increased in size.
As can be seen, for reducing the size of a capacitor, the capacitor must be provide with an improved cooling capability. Other than the capacitor, power storage devices such as a battery or the like also require an improved cooling capability, as is the case of the capacitor, since their power storage elements also generate heat during charging and discharging.
From such a viewpoint, a capacitor described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,681,666, for example, improves the cooling capability by extending a cathode foil of a wound capacitor element and pressing the extended cathode foil into contact with a metal capacitor container.
In the capacitor disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,681,666, however, since the cathode foil of the capacitor element is extended and directly in contact with the metal capacitor container, a leak current flows through the container itself, thus causing problems such as generation of radio noise, difficulties in maintenance and inspection, and so on. For example, when the disclosed capacitor is used in a power converter for an electric car which includes a semiconductor switching element for a main circuit, a leak current flowing through the capacitor container, if any, would introduce noise into radio waves received from the outside, such as those received by a car-equipped radio. In addition, in maintenance and inspection for the power converter, wherein an operator often touches parts of the power converter by hand for the operation, if a leak current exists in a capacitor container which is a main part, the security must be ensured against the leak current before the maintenance and inspection should be done. In addition, power storage device such as a battery or the like also imply similar problems.


U.S. financial firm JP Morgan is continuing to buy up stakes in select Rocket Internet online fashion retailers – first in Europe (Zalando), then in Brazil (Dafiti) and now in Russia, with Rocket’s Lamoda today announcing a cash-for-equity deal, terms undisclosed.

According to an insider source speaking to Russian newspaper Kommersant, the deal could be worth between $40 million and $80 million, which would make it one of the largest investments so far in a fashion e-commerce company in Russia.

Lamoda, founded one-and-a-half years ago by Dominik Picker, Florian Jansen, Burkhard Binder and Niels Tonsen, now employs 800 people and claims about five million unique users.

It’s just one of about 100 companies built by Berlin-headquartered Rocket Internet, best-known for fast execution and a track record of cloning promising U.S. businesses in new markets. The Samwer brothers – Oliver, Marc and Alexander – founded Rocket in 2007.

Lessons from “blitzkrieg” email – Lamoda

TechCrunch reports the deal was made via a German holding company and reminds us of Oliver Samwer’s infamous “blitzkrieg” email apparently sent to the founders of the Rocket companies in October 2011. In that email, Samwer referenced mistakes made by the team in Russia, including with business reporting. Because of these mistakes, the unnamed founders had lost 50 percent of their equity and had gone without salary for six months, according to Samwer’s email.

While Samwer’s email never mentions “Lamoda” by name, the email was most likely addressing Lamoda’s founders because Rocket’s only other listed portfolio companies in Russia are international shopping club Westwing and Mebelrama, an online homewear shop founded in 2011 with a Facebook page only set up in November 2011.

Rocket Internet – become number one or shut shop?

Attracting JP Morgan investment alongside Zalando and Dafiti would appear to show a turnaround. While Zalando is still posting losses (despite €510m turnover in 2011), it’s considered the flagship within Rocket Internet’s online empire, with no trouble attracting investment from Rocket Internet regulars Holtzbrinck Ventures, Tengelmann Ventures and AB Kinnevik as well as Yuri Milner’s DST Global.

Lamoda co-founder Niels Tonsen said in a statement the new JP Morgan funds would be used to expand the company’s portfolio, currently sitting at 500,000 products from 700 mainstream and international brands, and its presence in countries outside Russia.

“The investment underlines our leading position in one of the world’s fastest growing markets,” he said. “It will allow us to further expand our product and brand portfolio as well as our presence in other emerging markets such as Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Belarus. We will continue to streamline our fulfillment and delivery processes and to enhance the online shopping experience for our customers.”

Rocket also recently agreed to sell 50 percent of its Latin American and African holding companies to telco group Millicom for €340 million, including the option for Millicom to acquire the rest at fair market value by 2016.

A fast-moving winter storm, or a "weather bomb" as some forecasters have called it, has brought heavy snow and winds along the East Coast.

The storm was expected to bring as much as one foot of snow in some places. The system has already created travel nightmares across the country.

For New Yorkers, the third time was not the charm. The winter storm is the third to hit the state in less than three weeks. In the Big Apple, the goal has been to avoid a repeat that brought heavy criticism after the first snowfall when many streets remained buried for days.

"We do know that we didn't do the job that new Yorkers expected and we want to make sure that doesn't happen again," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

Some New Yorkers have given city leaders the benefit of a doubt.

From Maine to Pennsylvania, cities along the East Coast were prepared for the worst.

"We're on 12 hour shifts," said Tim Bracey, Mount Pocono, Pa., resident. "Midnight to noon, noon to midnight, we have the crews manning the trucks 24-7, so we'll be here."

Philadelphia and Boston, Mass., declared "snow emergencies" ahead of time. The 'City of Brotherly Love' was expected to get as much as 8 inches of snow and commuters have been warned to brace for delays during rush hour.

Thousands of commercial airline flights were also cancelled from Atlanta, Ga., to Boston.

"I'm trying to be optimistic," said Sarvish Arora, an airline traveler. "That's all you can do."

Some savvy travelers decided it would be best to have a back-up plan.

The storm moved in from the South, where it came as a surprise.

"I feel like I'm in a different state right now," said Kevin Johnson, a Gwinnett, Ga., resident. "I have never seen anything like this in Georgia."

Unprepared and relatively unfamiliar with weather like the storm produced, the conditions forced some areas to close roads -- in some cases for days.

"You know we can be as angry as we want to, but there's not a darn thing you can do about it," said Kendall Allman, a truck driver.

The Midwest was also blanketed with snow. In Grand Rapids, Mich., some sculptors used the snow and ice to create a giant life-size game of chess.

In Columbia, Mo., the snow gave children of all ages an excuse to have fun while sledding in the snow.

Meanwhile in Washington, D.C., crews were busy pre-treating streets Wednesday morning but once again, the city escaped the brunt of the storm.

Forecasters said the system moving along the northeast should clear Maine by Thursday.
