Brewster believed it would at the same time become a popular instrument "for the purposes of rational amusement". Artists could accurately delineate the produced figures of the kaleidoscope by means of the solar microscope (a type of camera obscura device), magic lantern or camera lucida. īrewster thought his instrument to be of great value in "all the ornamental arts" as a device that creates an "infinity of patterns". The last step, regarded as most important by Brewster, was to place the reflecting panes in a draw tube with a concave lens to distinctly introduce surrounding objects into the reflected pattern. A version followed in which some of the objects and pieces of glass could move when the tube was rotated. An early version had pieces of colored glass and other irregular objects fixed permanently and was admired by some Members of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, including Sir George Mackenzie who predicted its popularity. This triggered more experiments to find the conditions for the most beautiful and symmetrically perfect conditions. A while later he was impressed by the multiplied reflection of a bit of cement that was pressed through at the end of a triangular glass trough, which appeared more regular and almost perfectly symmetrical in comparison to the reflected objects that had been situated further away from the reflecting plates in earlier experiments. He forgot about it, but noticed a more impressive version of the effect during further experiments in February 1815. In 1814, Sir David Brewster conducted experiments on light polarization by successive reflections between plates of glass and first noted "the circular arrangement of the images of a candle round a center, and the multiplication of the sectors formed by the extremities of the plates of glass". Rotation of the cell causes motion of the materials, resulting in an ever-changing view being presented.Ĭoined by its Scottish inventor David Brewster, "kaleidoscope" is derived from the Ancient Greek word καλός ( kalos), "beautiful, beauty", εἶδος ( eidos), "that which is seen: form, shape" and σκοπέω ( skopeō), "to look to, to examine", hence "observation of beautiful forms." It was first published in the patent that was granted on July 10, 1817. These reflectors are usually enclosed in a tube, often containing on one end a cell with loose, colored pieces of glass or other transparent (and/or opaque) materials to be reflected into the viewed pattern. For other uses, see Kaleidoscope (disambiguation).Ī kaleidoscope ( / k ə ˈ l aɪ d ə s k oʊ p/) is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces (or mirrors) tilted to each other at an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of these mirrors are shown as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection.

The incidence is unknown but may be more common than published estimates because infants frequently die of infection before diagnosis. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare, treatable disorder of the immune system. Potential costs and benefits of newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiency JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS McGhee, S.View details for Web of Science ID 000273071500022 DOCK8 disruption is associated with a phenotype of severe cellular immunodeficiency characterized by susceptibility to viral infections, atopic eczema, defective T-cell activation and T(h)17 cell differentiation, and impaired eosinophil homeostasis and dysregulation of IgE. DOCK8 deficiency was associated with impaired activation of CD4+ and CD8+T cells.Autosomal-recessive mutations in DOCK8 are responsible for many, although not all, cases of autosomal-recessive hyper-IgE syndrome. Sequencing of patients without large deletions revealed 16 patients from 9 unrelated families with distinct homozygous mutations in DOCK8 causing premature termination, frameshift, splice site disruption, and single exon deletions and microdeletions. In all 5 patients, the deleted interval involved dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8), encoding a protein implicated in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. The candidate gene was analyzed by genomic and cDNA sequencing to identify causative alleles in a total of 27 patients with autosomal-recessive hyper-IgE syndrome.Subtelomeric biallelic microdeletions were identified in 5 patients at the terminus of chromosome 9p. Homozygosity mapping was performed with 12 patients from 7 additional families. In the remaining patients with hyper-IgE syndrome, the genetic etiology has not yet been identified.We aimed to identify a gene that is mutated or deleted in autosomal recessive hyper-IgE syndrome.We performed genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism analysis for 9 patients with autosomal-recessive hyper-IgE syndrome to locate copy number variations and homozygous haplotypes. Approximately 60% to 70% of patients with hyper-IgE syndrome have dominant mutations in STAT3, and a single patient was reported to have a homozygous TYK2 mutation. The genetic etiologies of the hyper-IgE syndromes are diverse.

Today, international treaties, states, institutions, corporations, and courts all recognize that the ocean is divisible and, in parts even appropriable, in the same way as land. Indeed, modern international law continues to express a principle of maritime freedom, though it is a far narrower form of freedom than Grotius initially claimed. The principle of the freedom of the seas came to define oceanic activities from navigation to fishing. The Grotian imaginary of the sea persisted for centuries. That being the case, it was Portugal that had acted wrongfully in claiming exclusive rights of maritime navigation and commerce with the Indies. As such, it was irreducible to private ownership or state sovereignty. The sea was fluid and constantly in movement it was indivisible, unoccupiable, inexhaustible, indeed unalterable for better or worse via human activity. Land, being fixed, cultivable and, most importantly, exhausted by its use, could be regarded as divisible, subject to public and private ownership, and demarcated by national boundaries. Grotius argued that the sea was entirely unlike land. On retainer from the company, the jurist Hugo Grotius-then just in his early twenties!-wrote a brief that is now regarded as a foundational text, Mare Liberum, or The Free Sea. Portugal was outraged by the loss, while the VOC was keen to defend its actions. Such trade promised fabulous wealth: the goods recovered from this event alone sold for over three million guilders in the markets of Amsterdam, an amount that was roughly double the capital of the English East India Company. The incident was part of an imperial struggle between European states over access to trade with the East Indies. The Catarina’s capture occupies an important place in the history of international law. In the time since that event, projects of reclamation have increased Singapore’s total land area by 25 percent, and Changi airport occupies one such reclaimed part, sitting where the shoals used to be. He swiftly captured the ship just off Singapore’s eastern shoals. Having missed the first, he awoke on the morning of February 25, 1603, to find the second, the Catarina, right before his eyes. Heemskerk, the story goes, made a wild dash to Johor from Tioman Island upon receiving news that two Portuguese carracks laden with spices, silks, and porcelain, would be moving through the Straits. This makes sense: in Martine van Ittersum’s rich description of the incident, she notes that it took place at the entrance of the Singapore Straits. The legal historians Antony Anghie and Kevin Tan have informed me that in the course of my arrival, via Terminal 3 of Singapore’s Changi Airport, I must have crossed – on foot – the probable spot where, more than 400 years ago, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) Captain Jacob van Heemskerk captured the Santa Catarina, a Portuguese ship. I write this essay in an office in Singapore, where I have just learned an arresting fact. Prezi does not allow you to convert PowerPoint presentations (PPT), but there is a handy process that will make your persuasive presentation look great in no time. Prezi has been criticized for being difficult to use, so many people abandoned it in favor of classic PowerPoint. Prezi is a learning tool that requires patience. Prezi presentations are easier to understand because we are more familiar with PowerPoint. Both are great audiovisual complements to any type of presentation. Prezi presentations are unique because they have a “flow” different from PowerPoint slides.Įach presentation tool has its pros and cons. Prezi presentations are “mind maps,” which allow you to navigate freely and zoom in on different topics. Prezi presentations focus on storytelling. Prezi is a different way to present than PowerPoint’s linear, rigid structure. Prezi was created in 2009 as a new way to present information. PowerPoint is intuitive and simple, even for those familiar with Microsoft Office. It’s a great reason, PowerPoint has a wide range of options for creating presentations. Even though there are many other presentation-making tools available, Microsoft Office is still the best. PowerPoint has been the most widely used software for creating presentations for many years. In this article, you will learn how to convert Prezi to PowerPoint. No matter the reason, it is challenging to get Prezi into PowerPoint. Prezi is not accepted in your school, company, or organization. You have a Prezi presentation, but you must open it in PowerPoint. The Recursive DNS Server in turn resolves the queried domain name (FQDN) and returns a set of IP addresses back to the client. When a victim client wants to resolve a malicious domain name, it sends the DNS query to the Recursive DNS Server. DNS A record changes as often as every 3-10 minutes, which means that the victim client connecting to the malicious domain every 3 minutes would actually be connecting to a different IP address each time. Thousands of fast-flux agent’s IP addresses are used in a cyclic order for the DNS A record. The Authoritative Name Server is hosted in a bulletproof hosting server.Īt the expiration of TTL, new IP addresses replace the old ones for these DNS A records in the DNS Zone file. In single flux networks, the attacker manages an Authoritative Name Server for name resolution of the malicious domain name and dynamically updates the DNS A record with the IP addresses of fast-flux agents with a very short TTL value. In single flux networks the DNS A or AAAA records for a domain are constantly updated with the address of fast-flux agents that act as reverse proxies. Single-Flux refers to the frequent and rapid changing of IP addresses associated with a domain name. Fast-Flux Service Network (FFSN) is not only limited to HTTP application moreover any application that uses DNS can use the Fast-Flux Service Network (FFSN). In a fast-flux network the C&C server is also refereed as mothership server. Such as a DNS server for the malicious domain name resolution, HTTP server for delivering malware files or setting up phishing sites etc. The C&C server has a lot of server running on the backend to deliver various services as needed. The C&C server is a complex server which is used to control or manage the botnet and fast-flux network. But In a double-flux network, the malicious Domain Name and the Authoritative Nameserver both use IP addresses that belong to the fast-flux agents.įast-Flux C&C Servers are the backbone of fast-flux service networks. In a single-flux network, only the malicious Domain Name uses IP addresses from the fast-flux agents and the Authoritative Nameserver is hosted in a bulletproof hosting server. The different IP addresses of the malicious domain name in a fast-flux network are the IP addresses of fast-flux agents. In a fast-flux network, the attacker assigns new IP addresses for a Domain Name or for a Name Server within a very short period of time from thousands of bots (fast-flux agents). Basically, the Fast-Flux agents work as a reverse proxy server by forwarding the client request to the C&C server and reply the answers came from the C&C server back to the client. The main purpose of using botnets is to employ thousands of bot machines (fast-flux agents) as reverse proxies. The bots that take part in a Fast-Flux Network are also known as fast-flux agents. The botnet contains thousands of bots and all of these bots are connected with the attacker’s C&C server. To implement a fast-flux network the attacker first leverages a botnet. There are two types of Fast-Flux Service Network:īasics of Fast-Flux Service Network (FFSN): Fast-Flux network ensures that a victim client will only connect to fast flux agents, but never to the real C&C server. Fast Flux technique is employed by the adversary (Botmaster) to evade C&C server detection and IP based Blacklisting by hiding the C&C server behind a network of compromised hosts acting as reverse proxies. These IP addresses belong to compromised hosts which are known as bots or fast-flux agents. The core concept of a Fast Flux network is to have multiple IP addresses associated with a domain name, and then constantly swapping those IP addresses in quick succession by changing DNS A or AAAA Records with a very low TTL value. Fast Flux is a DNS technique which involves frequent and rapid changing of the IP addresses associated with a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) by using a network of compromised hosts (Bots) acting as reverse proxies. 1997 – Majority shareholding in Virgin Radio is sold to Chris Evans.1997 – Virgin CrossCountry and Virgin Trains West Coast commence operations.1996 – Virgin Group becomes majority shareholders in London Broncos rugby league team.1995 – Virgin Express a European low cost Airline is launched in Brussels after the purchase and rebranding of EBA Express.1995 – Virgin Direct Personal Financial Services opens for business.1995 - Discretely invests in AirTicketsDirect.1994 – Launch of Virgin Vodka and Virgin Cola.1993 – Virgin Radio hits the airwaves with Virgin 1215AM.1993 - Virgin Vision is bought by PolyGram for $5.6 million.1992 – Virgin Records is sold to Thorn EMI.1991 – Virgin Publishing (Virgin Books) is formed.1988 – Virgin sells its shareholding in British Satellite Broadcasting. 1988 – Virgin sets up Virgin Broadcasting.1988 – Virgin sells some of its smaller UK retail stores and puts more money into Virgin Megastores, opening new stores both in the UK and abroad.1988 – Virgin launches Virgin Classics, another Virgin international record label specializing in high-quality classical music.1988 – Virgin re-opens the recently acquired and re-modeled Olympic Studios in Barnes, London.1987 – Richard Branson launched Mates condoms in the UK to promote condoms to young adults.1987 – Virgin launches Virgin Airship & Balloon Company.1987 – Virgin buys Rushes Postproduction in London.Later Virgin Mastertronic becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Virgin Group, creating, marketing and distributing computer games software and Sega consoles in several European countries. 1987 – Virgin buys a 45% stake in Mastertronic Group.1987 – Virgin sets up " Music Box" as an independent producer of music programmes.1987 – Virgin sets up 525, a post production facility in Los Angeles, to work on high-end commercials and pop videos.1987 – The Virgin Group, along with Granada, Anglia and Pearson, founds British Satellite Broadcasting and receives a UK licence to broadcast five new TV channels by satellite in the UK.1987 – Branson takes Virgin Records to the United States.1985 – Virgin Group now includes record labels, retail outlets, exported music publishing, broadcasting, satellite television, and film and video distribution.1984 – Virgin Vision (launched the previous year) launches " Music Box", a 24-hour satellite music station.1984 – Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Cargo are launched.1983 – Virgin Vision, later to become Virgin Communications, is formed to distribute films and videos in the television and broadcasting sector.1981 – Virgin buys the Kensington Roof Gardens.1980 – Virgin Records goes international.Branson's net worth was estimated at £5 million by 1979. 1979 – Buys the gay nightclub Heaven, located under Charing Cross railway station.1973 – Launches Virgin Records record label.1972 – Opens a Virgin Recording Studio.1971 – Opens his first record shop on Oxford Street.1970 – Start selling records by mail-order.Branson's net worth was estimated at £50,000 by 1969. 1966 – After failed attempts to grow and sell both Christmas trees and budgerigars, Branson launches his first successful business, a magazine named Student, the first issue of which appearing in January 1968.Richard considers each client relationship as a true partnership, and tailors his advice to support each client’s short-term goals and long-term success.This is a list of Richard Branson's business ventures from the 1960s to today.

It is also a big part of why Yahoo! struggled to compete against Google in search. This inefficiency in the Overture ad auction is part of what drove the demand for creating large lists of keywords. One of the reasons the Overture / Yahoo! Search Marketing ad auction was less efficient is they would put a far lower priced bid first if someone bid on a specific term and a competitor bid higher for a broad matched term.įor example, if your competitor bid $50 for web hosting and you bid 10 cents for shared asp web hosting and nobody else bid on that term, your 10 cent ad could show before the competitor's $50 ad. Google ended up winning search by both owning distribution (while Overture relied on syndication partners) and having a more efficient ad auction. In fact, Google had to give Yahoo! a bunch of their shares before the Google IPO to settle a lawsuit for violating Overture's paid search patents. Google was highly inspired by Overture when they created AdWords. That leads one to ask Why were huge lists of keywords ever popular? And those that you can easily control are far more efficient to control with tight targeting on the head and the above broad match strategy on the tail. Some parts of search largely run without direct keyword control anymore. So Why do People Still Pitch Huge Keyword Lists? In such a way you could quickly capture most the cream from the longtail while blocking out the worst bits of it (or bidding significantly less for the lowest value portions), while having minimal management overhead. You could then add that term as a negative match -free to block your ads from running against searches containing that term, or you could add it as a negative match to that campaign and then set up a second campaign with lower bids that doesn't block those sorts of modifiers. For example, let's say people wanting "free" rarely convert to paying clients. And then let's say a particular term tends to have little to no value to your business. The above would target thousands of different unique keyword tool related searches (like: downloadable keyword research tools, online keyword software, etc.) without requiring a person to manage thousands of independent terms. For example, if one wanted to cover longtail concepts around "keyword tools" or such one could add something like this: The beauty of modified broad match is it allows you to capture a vast array of longtail terms using just a handful of keywords. Here is an image Google shared when they first publicly unveiled modified broad match. Really broadly matched targeting on broad match keywords guarantees most terms with significant value will have multiple bidders aggressively competing in the ad auction, with Google both carrying ads across from other related keywords and lifting floor ad prices based on the performance of related keywords. And I write this as a person who offers one of the more widely used free keyword list generators.įinding secret uncovered keywords that no other ads are showing against? That ship has largely sailed. Using modified broad match and the desktop Google AdWords Editor makes many "optimization" features in some DIY PPC platforms obsolete. Since Google added modified broad match ad targeting to AdWords, it is typically a far more efficient use of a business owner's time to manage the longtail of search with modified broad match and negative keyword targeting rather than managing thousands and thousands of low traffic terms. Based on the negative remarks directed at Wordstream in comments on this review (about aggressive "flexible" sales techniques, long-term client contracts, etc.) & a discussion with one of our friends who manages a number of large AdWords accounts, we recommend Optimyzr, as Timmcg did below.
