That this talent for organization and management is rare among men is proved by the fact that it invariably secures for its possessor enormous rewards, no matter where or under what laws or conditions.

Disease: Von-Willebrand Disorder
Patient 2 Variant(s):
VWF NM_000552.5: c.4135C>T p.(Arg1379Cys) Exon 28 VWF NM_000552.5: c.4130C>T p.(Ala1377Val) Exon 28 VWF NM_000552.5: c.3797C>T p.(Pro1266Leu) Exon 28 VWF NM_000552.5: c.3835G>A p.(Val1279Ile) Exon 28
Note: Pro1266Leu and Val1279Ile are in trans with Ala1377Val and Arg1379Cys
Note2: MAF of Ala1377Val is present in Exome Variant Server (<0.01) and 1000 Genomes database (<0.02), designated as rare variant, typically found in indiv with African ethnicity
Family: Relatives molecular analysis showed Arg1379 and Ala1377Val variants mentioned above were in cis
Patient 2 Phenotype: Mild bleeding symptom Nearly normal VWF:Ag value, reduced VWF:RCo value slight loss of HMWM with smear decreased/slightly decreased proteolysis Slightly reduced RIPA VWFpp/VWF:Ag ratio shows increased VWF clearance VWF platelet levels reduced reduced rBpIba binding in VWF plasma VWF:GPIbM values slightly increased
Note: Treated with desmopressin in case of minor surgeries or delivery
Note 2: Slightly decreased RIPA may be explained by presence of 2B New York Variant (Pro1266Leu) that mitigates RIPA assay in 2M phenotype.
In silico analysis available:
I-Mutant 3.0 states decrease in A1 domain stability for both mutations (Ala1377Val = -0.91, Arg1379Cys = -1.36)
PYMOL predicts Ala1377Val does not alter formation of hydrogen bonds with Arg1374 residue and water. Predicts substitution of ARG 1379 with a cysteine results in the loss of hydrogen bonds with Lys1407 and Lys1408, predicted change in secondary structure of A1 domain
Ala1377Val was previously reported in 3 other patients Publications:
Millar CM, Riddel AF, Mellors G, Yee TT. The spectrum of VWD type 2 phenotypes associated with A1 domain mutations posters. J Thromb Haemost 2009; 7: 531–2.
Logsdon BA, Dai JY, Auer PL et al. A variational Bayes discrete mixture test for rare variant association. Genet Epidemiol 2014; 38: 21–30.
Final note: Authors suggest patients' 2M phenotype is due to the presence of Ala1377Val and Arg1379Cys together to create synergistic effect. Though difficult to discern with this specific patient having two other variants in addition to the two mentioned above.

In the mid to late-1950's and after several typewriter manufacturers made limited runs of gold plated typewriters for special anniversaries or for bonuses to salespeople. They're uncommon, but not rare. I've seen at least 6 or seven pop up on auction sites in the last 6 months. If you really want one, watch the lower end of Facebook Marketplace, ShopGoodwill, Craigslist, et al. where one will assuredly pop up for a much more reasonable price. I'm not sure if it was this one or another I've seen since April, but one of these went up for sale on ShopGoodwill.com recently and sold for about $600. A week later it was listed on eBay for several thousand just like this one. Given the timeframe, I doubt they spent any time cleaning, oiling, or adjusting it in any fashion—it was a pure flip. I've also seen this recently with Royal typewriters with a less common, but highly collectible Vogue typeface: a Royal P sold for about $900 there and was listed on eBay shortly after for over $1,500 with no indication that it was cleaned or adjusted. (If you watch some of the sites carefully, you can pick up a Vogue machine for under $100 easily enough depending on the type and condition.)
In my mind, as a collector, I'd try to find one in the wild and clean it up or I'd want it in stunning restored condition for over $2k. You might be just as well off picking up a working model for $100-$150 and gold plating the pieces yourself. It would probably be cheaper in the long run and you'd have a better machine in better condition. Some sucker with money to burn will eventually buy a Gold Olympia SM3 for over $2,000.
Here's a vew posts/videos as examples of gold plated machines:<br /> - A video of another Gold Olympia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnUHgyABjw0<br /> - Royal QDL https://typespec.com/weve-got-gold-in-them-thar-hills/<br /> - https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kasbah-mod-typewriters_n_1453776
If you're looking for something great that you'll use, I recommend visiting a repair shop that has some stock to try out some machines to see if you'd like their touch/fee/aesthetics first. Visiting a type-in or two might give you some experience with a wide variety of typewriter models as well. Then try to find a rare or exceptional version that's worth putting some money into. Why put so much into an Olympia if it turns out you're an Olivetti, Royal, or Smith-Corona person? https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-repair.html (I desperately love Royals, but Smith-Coronas and Remingtons are much more forgiving of my mediocre typing technique, a fact which pains me dearly and cost a few hundred dollars and some sweat equity in cleaning and tuning machines to discover). Incidentally, I'll mention that for about $2,000 you could easily purchase a wide variety of about two dozen machines (even with shipping) and be able to get something truly exceptional in terms of condition and function.
Incidentally, the higher prices of $250-600 for repaired/refurbished/restored machines being sold by repair shops are usually what Harry Beercan is using as a pricing guide when he's selling his grandmother's musty, broken, old typewriter online not knowing that several hundred dollars in labor and parts has been calculated into the selling price.

Tribes, landowners and communities find themselves wrestling with the not-so-green side of green energy.
The IEA says meeting the Paris Climate Accord goals for decarbonization will require even more — far more — minerals: as much as four to six times present amounts.
while EVs are cleaner than gas cars in the long run, they still carry environmental and human-rights baggage, especially associated with mining.

Bauxite is the main source of the rare metal gallium
the source of gallium.
Despite their name, rare-earth elements are – with the exception of the radioactive promethium – relatively plentiful in Earth's crust, with cerium being the 25th most abundant element at 68 parts per million, more abundant than copper. However, because of their geochemical properties, rare-earth elements are typically dispersed and not often found concentrated in rare-earth minerals; as a result economically exploitable ore deposits are less common.[4] The first rare-earth mineral discovered (1787) was gadolinite, a mineral composed of cerium, yttrium, iron, silicon, and other elements. This mineral was extracted from a mine in the village of Ytterby in Sweden; four of the rare-earth elements bear names derived from this single location.
The 17 rare-earth elements are cerium (Ce), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), holmium (Ho), lanthanum (La), lutetium (Lu), neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), scandium (Sc), terbium (Tb), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), and yttrium (Y).
