text: On November 24, 1784, Zachary Taylor, who would become the last slaveholding U.S. President, was born at the Montebello house in Orange County, Virginia. Zachary Taylor’s parents were Colonel Taylor, whom was a Revolutionary War soldier, and Sarah Dabney Taylor.. In present day, only historical marker indicates the birthplace of President Zachary Taylor.. Author’s Note:. Zachary Taylor served in the Black Hawk War with Jefferson Finis Davis. After the war, Jefferson Davis began a courtship with Zachary Taylor’s daughter Sarah Knox Taylor. Zachary Taylor disapproved the the relationship since he did not want his daughter to be traveling with her husband all of the time, as he made his wife do during his decades of military service, so Jefferson Davis resigned from the military to court Sarah. However, a mere three months after marriage Sarah Taylor caught malaria on the way to the Davis family home and passed away.

As president, Taylor faced several challenges, including tensions with Great Britain over the border between the United States and Canada. He also had to deal with the issue of slavery, which was dividing the country. Despite his own views on the matter, Taylor believed that the issue should be left up to the states to decide.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
One of the most significant events during Taylor's presidency was the passage of the Compromise of 1850. This act helped to resolve some of the issues that had been causing tension between the North and South. It included several laws, including the Fugitive Slave Act, which required citizens to return runaway slaves to their owners.

Instagram notches 500 million users

Instagram, the popular Facebook-owned photo-sharing app, has reached a new milestone.

Instagram now has 500 million users around the world, including 300 million who use the service every single day, the company announced on Tuesday. Surprisingly, the US-based service’s user base is overwhelmingly made up of people who live outside the country: 80 percent live abroad.

“You’ve made Instagram a place where the everyday and the epic are always within reach,” Instagram said in a blog post, pointing to notable users likeRussian cosmonaut Sergey Ryazanskiy.

Instagram was founded in 2010 and was acquired by Facebook two years later for $1 billion. Since then, Instagram has largely operated independently of Facebook, though Mark Zuckerberg has moved to make a little cash from all those eyeballs, placing ads on Instagram feeds last year.

Going forward, Instagram will likely have its eye on Snapchat, which reportedly has 150 million daily users, up from 110 million in December. Instagram is also experimenting with a (potentially alienating) news feed update that puts the photos Instagram thinks you want to see first rather than arranging them chronologically. Twitter did something similar recently, but the feature is opt-out.

Q:

How to export list of objects in Inkscape?

I have an .svg file that has a map of the United States with each county being a different object. I want a list of all these objects along with their ID. When I right click an object and select "object properties" I can see the ID and the Label of the object, but is there any way to export a list of these?
Picture is what I'm working with

A:

I didn't have an SVG file of the USA with each county being a different object, but found a map of the USA with each state being a different object.
When I opened that file in a text editor, I was able to see the individual path IDs that are part of the file.

Unfortunately, I'm not a script wizard, but I suspect that someone with reasonably simple scripting skills would be able to parse the path IDs for your document.
If it was a one-off project, you could manually edit the file by deleting everything else, although every county in every state in the USA would be rather excessive.
I have a macro program that I would use, creating a simple "manual" editing script, turning a tedious process into a brute force process instead.
I suspect that if one were skilled in Python, the process would be even simpler.

Is This Expert’s Testimony Damaging for Transocean?

The civil lawsuit brought against Transocean (NYSE:RIG) — whose Deepwater Horizon rig, under contract with BP (NYSE:BP), experienced a surge of gas in April 2010 that killed 11 workers and spewed 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico — has brought to light some very damaging information.

Edward Webster, an expert in marine engineering, testified Thursday in New Orleans district court, and showed that Transocean’s computerized maintenance system report for the Deepwater Horizon — dated just one day before the incident — listed 222 overdue maintenance tasks, including 76 “high priority” jobs.’’ According to his statement, acquired by Bloomberg, safety systems and equipment had been due for maintenance or repairs for months, or in some instances, years.

“This shows gross negligence to the rig,” Webster said, adding that the maintenance history was also “recklessly kept.”

Along with Transocean, both BP and cement services provider Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) have been hit with numerous of lawsuits for their involvement in the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry; the civil trial in Louisiana is only the most recent. A nonjury trial over liability for the disaster began on February 25, and U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier was charged with determining responsibility for the spill and whether one or more of the three companies acted with gross negligence. A charge of gross negligence implies that the participants acted recklessly or willfully disregarded human and environmental safety.

For BP, this charge would result in punitive damages amounting to a fine of $4,300 per barrel of oil spilled under the Clean Water Act, which would add up to approximately $17.6 billion. In comparison, Transocean and Halliburton would be held liable for punitive damages for all plaintiffs…

Impact of atrial fibrillation on platelet gene expression.
Platelets retain cytoplasmic messenger RNA and are capable of protein biosynthesis. Several diseases are known to impact the platelet transcriptome but the effect of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) on platelet RNA transcript is essentially unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of NVAF on platelet RNA transcript by measuring platelet genes expression in consecutive NVAF patients before and 3-4 months after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and compared to normal sinus rhythm controls (NSR). RNA from isolated platelets were reverse transcribed, assayed against 15 genes using real-time qPCR, and expressed as mean cycle threshold (ΔCt) using beta-2-microglobulin as endogenous control. Expression of all evaluated genes, except cathepsin A gene, was significantly lower (higher ΔCt) in 103 NVAF patients compared to 55 NSR controls. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein acid labile subunit gene (IGFALS) had expression more than 16 fold-lower (17.0±2.8 vs 12.5±3.8, P<.001), follow by genes encoding for prostacyclin receptor, and for von Willebrand factor which had fourfold lower expression compared to NSR controls. Gender, type of atrial fibrillation, heart failure, hypertension, prior stroke, diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis were associated with different gene expression. Following PVI, expression of four genes significantly increased, particularly IGFALS gene (increased 256-fold) and ADAMT gene increased 16-fold); expression of three genes significantly decreased, and expression of eight genes has not changed. Platelets are capable to respond to the circulatory environment of NVAF by altering transcript and changing prothrombotic status. This shows platelet potential for molecular "reprogramming" possibly induced by flow disturbances of NVAF.

Lesson: Introduction to Platelet Gene Expression

### Overview:
In this lesson, we will learn about platelet gene expression and its impact on atrial fibrillation. We will cover the following topics:

1. What are platelets?
2. How do platelets express genes?
3. What is atrial fibrillation?
4. How does atrial fibrillation affect platelet gene expression?
5. What are the implications of these findings?

### Section 1: What are platelets?
Platelets are small cell fragments that play an essential role in blood clotting. They are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the bloodstream. When there is an injury to a blood vessel, platelets gather at the site and release substances that help form a clot to prevent bleeding.

### Section 2: How do platelets express genes?
Platelets contain cytoplasmic messenger RNA (mRNA) that is retained during their production in the bone marrow. This mRNA is then transported to the bloodstream and circulates with the platelets. Platelets are capable of protein biosynthesis, meaning they can use the mRNA to produce proteins. This process is called gene expression.

### Section 3: What is atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related conditions. It is caused by chaotic and disorganized electrical signals in the heart's upper chambers (atria). Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) refers to cases where the atria are not affected by heart valve problems.

### Section 4: How does atrial fibrillation affect platelet gene expression?
A study has shown that NVAF affects platelet gene expression by altering the levels of certain genes. In particular, the expression of the IGFALS gene was found to be significantly lower in NVAF patients compared to those with normal sinus rhythm. This suggests that NVAF may impact the way platelets express genes.

### Section 5: What are the implications of these findings?
Understanding how NVAF affects platelet gene expression could help researchers develop new treatments for AF and other related conditions. For example, if it is found that certain gene expressions contribute to the development or progression of AF, drugs could be developed to target those specific genes. Additionally, understanding the impact of NVAF on platelet gene expression could lead to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of AF and potentially improve diagnostic tools and treatment options.

### Glossary:
- Platelets: Small cell fragments that play an essential role in blood clotting.
- Gene expression: The process by which cells produce proteins using mRNA.
- Atrial fibrillation: An irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related conditions.
- Non-valvular atrial fibrillation: Cases of AF where the atria are not affected by heart valve problems.
- mRNA: Messenger RNA, a molecule that carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, where it is used to synthesize proteins.

### Conclusion:
In summary, we have learned about platelet gene expression and how atrial fibrillation can impact this process. Understanding the effects of NVAF on platelet gene expression could lead to new treatments and improved diagnostic tools for AF and related conditions.

An unusual case of Kaposi sarcoma masquerading as cystitis in a kidney transplant recipient.
Human Herpes Virus-8 (HHV-8) may reactivate in immunocompromised patients including recipients of solid organ transplants. Reactivation of HHV-8 may result in Kaposi sarcoma (KS). KS typically occurs with dermatologic involvement but can affect virtually any other organ; most commonly the gastrointestinal tract. We present a diagnostically challenging case of KS in a South American woman 7 months after kidney transplant. She presented with recurrent urinary tract infection manifested by pelvic pain and dysuria. Imaging studies revealed bladder thickening with pelvic lymphadenopathy. Findings on tissue biopsied from the bladder and lymph nodes were consistent with KS. Her skin was not affected. This case illustrates that KS and other HHV-8-related diseases should be on the differential diagnosis as a cause of mass lesions as well as lymphadenopathy in transplant recipients. The case exemplifies the need to pursue a tissue diagnosis in immunocompromised patients when a diagnosis is uncertain.

Lesson: Introduction to Kaposi Sarcoma

## Chapter 1: What is Kaposi Sarcoma?
Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is a rare cancer that affects the blood vessels of the skin, lymph nodes, and other organs. It is caused by the Human Herpes Virus-8 (HHV-8), which is a type of herpes virus. KS is more common in people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have had organ transplants or are infected with HIV/AIDS.

## Chapter 2: Symptoms and Diagnosis
The symptoms of KS can vary depending on which organs are affected. In this case study, the patient presented with recurrent urinary tract infections, pelvic pain, and dysuria. Imaging studies showed bladder thickening and pelvic lymphadenopathy. Tissue biopsies from the bladder and lymph nodes confirmed the diagnosis of KS.

Diagnosing KS can be challenging because its symptoms are similar to those of other conditions. A biopsy is usually necessary to confirm the diagnosis. The biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue from the affected area and examining it under a microscope.

## Chapter 3: Treatment and Prognosis
Treatment for KS depends on the severity of the disease and the patient's overall health. In some cases, treatment may involve surgery to remove the tumors. Other treatments may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or medications to suppress the immune system.

The prognosis for patients with KS varies depending on the stage of the disease and the patient's overall health. In general, the earlier the disease is diagnosed and treated, the better the prognosis. However, KS can be aggressive and difficult to treat, especially in patients with weakened immune systems.

## Chapter 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, KS is a rare cancer caused by the Human Herpes Virus-8. It can affect the skin, lymph nodes, and other organs. Diagnosing KS can be challenging, and treatment depends on the severity of the disease and the patient's overall health. This case study highlights the importance of considering KS as a possible diagnosis in immunocompromised patients with mass lesions or lymphadenopathy.

Fine structural studies of the bipolarization of the mitotic apparatus in the fertilized sea urchin egg. I. The structure and behavior of centrosomes before fusion of the pronuclei.
During fertilization the sperm brings two centrosomes into the egg. One centrosome contains a centriole of normal length originally seen as the basal body of the sperm flagellum. Characteristically, the proximal half is enwrapped in osmiophilic material. This centrosome is attached to the centrosomal fossa, a bowl-shaped depression of the nuclear envelope of the male pronucleus. Microtubules radiate out from the osmiophilic half characterizing this structure as a centrosome and microtubule organizing center (MTOC). The second centrosome which also acts as an MTOC is attached to the mitochondrion of the sperm. At the beginning it appears as an unstructured accumulation of osmiophilic material out of which later on centriolar microtubules grow. Though this centrosome is marked by an immature centriole it is capable of organizing microtubules and of reproducing itself. This centrosome becomes loosely associated with the female pronucleus by means of microtubules. Then it separates from the mitochondrion which finally is lost. When the two pronuclei fuse, the centrosome derived from the basal body remains firmly attached to the centrosomal fossa, which has persisted in the envelope of the zygote nucleus after pronuclear fusion. Using the fossa as a marker of the position of this centrosome on the nuclear surface, we conclude that it is a stationary centrosome in the process of bipolarization for the first mitosis.

Lesson: Cell Division and Mitosis

Introduction:
Cell division is the process by which cells reproduce and create new cells. Mitosis is the part of cell division where the cell nucleus divides into two identical nuclei, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of our bodies. In this lesson, we will learn about the structure and behavior of centrosomes during mitosis in the fertilized sea urchin egg.

Section 1: Centrosomes and Mitosis
Centrosomes are the main microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) in animal cells. They are composed of two centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). During mitosis, centrosomes play a crucial role in organizing and regulating the formation of the mitotic spindle, which is responsible for separating the chromosomes and ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.

Section 2: Centrosomes in the Fertilized Sea Urchin Egg
During fertilization, the sperm brings two centrosomes into the egg. One centrosome contains a centriole of normal length, while the other has an immature centriole. The centrosome attached to the male pronucleus is called the paternal centrosome, while the one attached to the female pronucleus is called the maternal centrosome. The paternal centrosome is attached to the centrosomal fossa, a bowl-shaped depression of the nuclear envelope, and radiates out microtubules. The maternal centrosome is initially attached to the mitochondrion of the sperm and later becomes loosely associated with the female pronucleus by means of microtubules.

Section 3: The Structure and Behavior of Centrosomes Before Fusion of the Pronuclei
Before the fusion of the pronuclei, the centrosomes begin to organize the microtubules into a bipolar spindle. The paternal centrosome forms the plus end, while the maternal centrosome forms the minus end. The microtubules extend from the centrosomes and interact with each other at the spindle midzone, which is composed of actin filaments and associated proteins. The centrosomes also regulate the assembly and disassembly of the microtubules by controlling the activity of motor proteins and other regulatory proteins.

Section 4: Practical Examples Using Mathematical Abstractions and Real-World Scenarios
To understand the role of centrosomes in mitosis, we can use mathematical models to describe the dynamics of microtubule growth and shrinkage. We can also observe live cells under a microscope to see the centrosomes organizing the microtubules and the spindle fibers attaching to the chromosomes.

Glossary:
- Centrosome: A cellular structure composed of two centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). It serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) in animal cells.
- Centriole: A cylindrical structure composed of nine triplet microtubules arranged in a circular pattern. It is the basic unit of the centrosome.
- Pericentriolar material (PCM): A protein-rich region surrounding the centrioles in the centrosome. It plays a crucial role in organizing and regulating microtubules.
- Mitotic spindle: A structure composed of microtubules that forms during mitosis to separate the chromosomes and ensure proper distribution of genetic material to the daughter cells.
- Microtubule: A long, thin, tube-like structure composed of protein subunits called tubulin. It is a major component of the cytoskeleton and plays a crucial role in cell division and intracellular transport.
- Motor proteins: Proteins that move along microtubules, carrying cargo or generating force for cellular processes such as cell division and intracellular transport.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, centrosomes play a crucial role in organizing and regulating the formation of the mitotic spindle during cell division. By understanding the structure and behavior of centrosomes before fusion of the pronuclei, we can gain insights into the mechanisms of mitosis and cell division. This knowledge can be applied to various fields, including developmental biology, cancer research, and regenerative medicine.
