Anti-oxidant gene expression imbalance, aging and Down syndrome. The expression of copper zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1), manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT) genes have been detected in human skin fibroblast cells for 2 year normal child (control), 50 year old normal male and female and a 1 year old Down Syndrome (DS) male and female with established trisomy karyotype using the RT-PCR technique. Differential expression of these genes is quantified individually against a beta-Actin gene that has been employed as an internal control. The immunoblotting of cell lysate proteins with polyclonal antibodies exhibit SOD1 (16 kD), SOD2 (40 kD), GPx (23 and 92 kD), CAT (64 kD), and Actin (43 kD) as translational products. The results demonstrate that the enhancement in the level of mRNAs encoding SOD1 in DS male and female, as well as aged male and female are 51, 21, 31 and 50% respectively compared to the normal child (control). In SOD2, DS male and female display higher (176%) and lower (26%) levels of expression whereas aged male and female exhibit enhanced levels of expression (66 and 119%) respectively compared to the control. This study demonstrates that DS affects the female less than the male whereas in the aging process, the female is more prone to oxidative damage than the male. These results not only indicate that the level of GPx mRNA is constant except in DS male, which shows a downward regulation but that even CAT mRNA is upward regulated in aged as well as in DS males and females. These disproportionate changes in anti-oxidant genes, which are incapable of coping with over expressed genes, may contribute towards the aging process, dementia and Down syndrome.
Comparable effects of manure and its biochar on reducing soil Cr bioavailability and narrowing the rhizosphere extent of enzyme activities. Chromium (Cr) contamination is especially hazardous to soil biota. Application of manure and biochar has been frequently proposed to remediate Cr-contaminated soil. However, the understanding of mechanisms behind manure and biochar impacts on soil enzyme activities requires advanced visualization technologies. For the first time, we compared manure and its biochar influence on the spatial distribution of β-glucosidase, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase and phosphomonoesterase activities in Cr-contaminated soil using direct zymography. Maize was planted for 45 days in (a) soil mixed with manure, (b) soil mixed with manure-derived biochar and (c) soil without any addition. Soil pH decreased over 45 days, inducing an increase in acid soluble Cr. The concomitant decrease in β-glucosidase and N-acetyl-glucosaminidase activities explained the narrowing rhizosphere extent of enzyme activities by 13-44%, indicating that increased Cr bioavailability decreases microbial activities. A larger maize performance index and the greatest plant shoot/root ratio after biochar application suggested enhanced maize growth (p < 0.05). In contrast, manure induced the narrowest extent of β-glucosidase and phosphomonoesterase activities due to the addition of labile organic compounds and nutrients following its application. Our study emphasizes the importance of pH on Cr bioavailability and enzyme activities and demonstrates that biochar application is more ideally suited for remediating Cr-contaminated soil.

Q: Can I start networking using XP's "Safe Mode with Command Prompt"? In XP, is it possible to start up networking (similar to Safe Mode with Networking) while logged in via the "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" option? I tried net start "network connections" but this says it cannot be started in Safe Mode. Any other ideas? FYI, Safe Mode with Networking is not an option in this case, due to UI restrictions preventing the use of a command prompt or the Run command in anything other than Safe Mode with Command Prompt. A: I don't think you can - the networking subsystem and drivers are not loaded, and they can't be started. With Safe Mode with Networking, have you tried browsing to the CMD.exe file and double clicking it? Have you tried copying and renaming the file to something else then executing it?
Q: How do I make a pull request from the master to the staging branch? I have many changes in the master. I want to do a pull request to the staging branch so that it can later merge to staging. I tried as the picture below, but nothing changes How can I solve this problem? A: Switch the base from master to staging. The base branch is the branch that you are going to merge into.

As you see we have 2 Nick in the Table 1 and 3 Nick in the table 2. So I want show only similar customers from both table. A: You could count each table (grouped by the name) and join the results: SELECT customer1, cnt1, customer2, cnt2 FROM (SELECT customer AS customer1, COUNT(*) AS cnt1 FROM table1 GROUP BY customer) t1 JOIN (SELECT customer AS customer2, COUNT(*) AS cnt2 FROM table2 GROUP BY customer) t2 ON customer1 = customer2
Q: Load spring xml config dynamically At the startup time of a spring app, I want to scan a path on the computer, find the jar files and build a spring application context from an xml config files inside them. Every thing is OK to add jar file to the classpath and making an ApplicationContext. But I can't find any beans from new context. All of needed dependencies are available in the jar files in the specific path on computer (via a maven copier plugin) expect those dependencies which are in the base spring project (for example spring dependency itself). The code is (In Kotlin language): var loader = URLClassLoader(arrayOf(entry.toFile().toURL()), Thread.currentThread().contextClassLoader) ... val context = ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath*:/$name")//name is xml file. I'm sure the address in classpath is right. context is not creating when the address in wrong. for example: classpath://$name val services = context.getBeanNamesForType(IService::class.java)//services is empty I have tried many other ways to load the xml but none of them was successful. for example: val beans = DefaultListableBeanFactory(applicationContext) val reader = XmlBeanDefinitionReader(beans) reader.beanClassLoader = loader reader.resourceLoader = resourceLoader reader.setValidationMode(XmlBeanDefinitionReader.VALIDATION_XSD) jarFile.getInputStream(jarEntry).use { reader.loadBeanDefinitions(EncodedResource(InputStreamResource(it))) } beans.preInstantiateSingletons() the xml inside jar file looks like this: <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd"> <import resource="classpath*:/xxx-logic-context.xml"/> <context:annotation-config/> <context:component-scan base-package="aa.bbb.ccc.server"/> </beans> It's really interesting: When I define regular Beans instead using package scaning feature, I can get the bean in a sort of code A: Great answer from @talex guided me. I fixed it by setting the current class loader: val loader = URLClassLoader(arrayOf(entry.toFile().toURL()), Thread.currentThread().contextClassLoader) Thread.currentThread().contextClassLoader = loader
Properties of an Australian isolate of bovine parvovirus type 1. An Australian bovine parvovirus isolate (BPV 267) was found to haemagglutinate human, guinea-pig, rat and dog erythrocytes, out of a range of 16 species of erythrocyte tested. The haemagglutinating activity was generally found to be both pH and temperature dependent. The virus was found to replicate best in intestinal epithelium, macrophage and lung cells, out of 9 bovine cell types tested. Highest yields of virus were obtained by the use of selected cell strains at low-passage levels which were maintained near neutral pH under conditions of high rates of cell growth. Studies of the rates of thermal inactivation with time showed the virus to be relatively stable at 37 degrees C, 56 degrees C and 70 degrees C, the incorporation of serum proteins, 1 M MgCl2 and 2 M NaCl in the medium having no influence on stability at 56 degrees C. The virus was resistant to the action of CHCl3, ether and 1% trypsin, and its replication was inhibited by BUDR, this effect being reversed by thymidine. Actinomycin D was found to inhibit virus replication, but only when applied during the first 8 h post-infection. Density gradient studies showed infective virus to have a density of 1.41 g cm-3; haemagglutinating non-infective virus with defective morphology having a density of 1.31 g cm-3. In addition, a proportion of morphologically-complete haemagglutinating, but non-infective virus particles was found at a density of 1.36 g cm-3. The virus proved to have a mean diameter of 22 nm.

Autonomous Coast-to-Coast Tesla Trip Past Deadline, Still Coming Tesla Inc. hasn’t thrown its plan to demonstrate an autonomous cross-country drive out the window — it’s just tapped the brakes. CEO Elon Musk said a self-driving Tesla will attempt the trip from Los Angeles to New York in the next three to six months after missing the deadline he set for late 2017. The autonomous capability will then become available to customers, he said. “We could have done the coast-to-coast drive but it would have required too much specialized code to effectively game it,” Musk said on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call Feb. 7. Although the electric-car maker would have been able to pull it off, the solution would have been “somewhat brittle in that it would work for one particular route but not be a general solution.” Tesla’s Autopilot program has been going through a period of upheaval, with three division leaders in roughly a year. Amid the talent churn and a disclosure that Tesla didn’t test any autonomous cars on California’s public roads last year, investors have been wondering if the company — which doesn’t use lidar — has the hardware necessary to deliver on its promises. Musk tried to put the issue to bed Feb. 7, reiterating his long-held belief that lidar — which uses laser beams to sense surroundings — is inferior to Tesla’s system of cameras, radars and ultrasonic sensors. Lidar is the tool of choice for most competitors in the self-driving race, including Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo and General Motors Co.’s Cruise Automation. “They’re going to have a whole bunch of expensive equipment, most of which makes the car expensive, ugly and unnecessary. And I think they will find themselves at a competitive disadvantage,” he said, calling lidar “a crutch” that rivals will have a hard time giving up. “Perhaps I’m wrong, in which case I’ll look like a fool,” he said. “But I am quite certain I’m not.”
FNLC Supports Federal Announcement Endorsing Bill C262 Posted by Ubcic43sc on November 24, 2017 (Coast Salish Territory/Vancouver) On November 20, 2017, the Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, addressed the Symposium on Implementing the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: Priorities, Partnerships, and Next Steps, formally announcing Canada’s support of Private Member’s Bill C-262. The FNLC fully supports, and is encouraged that after months of protest, Minister Wilson-Raybould, under the direction and leadership of Prime Minister Trudeau, will support MP Romeo Saganash’s Private Members Bill C-262, United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. The UN Declaration is fundamental to the future of Indigenous-Crown relations, and is the very framework for how we may move forward to achieving lasting reconciliation between the Crown and Indigenous peoples throughout Canada. Supporting a legislative framework for the full implementation of the UN Declaration is a crucial first step. Such a legislative framework is required to ensure a long-lasting, cross-government, nation-wide commitment to enact the standards affirmed by the UN Declaration, independent of partisan politics. A comprehensive process of implementation must be immediately launched with the full participation of Indigenous peoples to ensure such standards are recognized and implemented. The FNLC maintains that the UN Declaration cannot be unilaterally adopted and implemented but must be implemented in accordance with the UN Declaration itself, through consultation and cooperation with Indigenous peoples in good faith. The First Nations Leadership Council is comprised of the political executives of the BC Assembly of First Nations, First Nations Summit, and the Union of BC Indian Chiefs. Showing 4 reactions Richard Savy commented 2017-11-24 16:29:20 -0800 My feelings toward the bill sounds like a start. Personally, I do not trust the UN but this is a positive note. As for the Queen’s Prime Minister, he can not be held accountable for his actions although limited in his minority government. I am hoping for Canada to be a better place for First Nations people and not to be tread on by Corporate Law and the Corporations garbage piles, oil leaks, waterway poisonings, and other acts of un thought out travesty as fish farming. I still am not over the Catholics nor other sick ones who kidnap and torture. I am just one who has had a harder time than most. Angela Jensen commented 2017-11-24 11:23:11 -0800 I think it is a good start. However I am skeptical because he wants more votes. Who is to say he won’t break his promise. To the Native people this time too. It could go either way?
Wisconsin police are searching for 10 young men who they say were part of a 'flash mob' group accused of stealing $30,000 in merchandise this week from a North Face outlet, all in under 30 seconds — and captured on surveillance footage. The camera footage shows a group of men entering the store around 7:45 p.m. Monday and then abruptly scurrying through several racks of outerwear and clothing, in footage released by the Pleasant Prairie Police Department. SECOND MARYLAND 7-ELEVEN HIT IN FLASH MOB ATTACK, POLICE SAY The crew fled the store after about 20 or 30 seconds, after grabbing “as much merchandise as they could carry before running to the cars and leaving the property,” Sgt. Aaron Schaffer of the Pleasant Prairie Police Department told Kenosha News. Police say the employees didn’t confront the thieves but immediately contacted the police department. The group appeared to be a “flash mob," Schaffer added. FLASH MOB SURPRISES CHICK-FIL-A WITH A CAPELLA GOSPEL SONG The store's security footage captured the faces of the suspects. According to authorities, the men fled the scene in three vehicles: a maroon Pontiac Grand Prix, a Dodge Magnum and a car described as either a Chevrolet Cobalt or a Pontiac. Police are still searching for the suspects — who they say are possibly connected to another outlet mall case nearby -- and released pictures of the men on July 4.

Who is the undies flusher? IT'S not your usual request from council but residents in an estate on the Mid North Coast have been warned - no more flushing underwear down the toilet or cameras will be installed. Residents living in the Bellinger Keys in Urunga received a letter from the Bellingen Shire Council addressing a serious issue costing rate payers $250 to $500 every time workers have to clear the pumps. It's not clear if they're granny panties, a sexy g-string or a cheeky kid finding entertainment in flushing his undies down the dunnie but sent to The Advocate by a concerned resident, the letter comes with a warning not to be taken lightly. "I am writing in response to a resident or residents flushing underwear down the toilet on a regular basis,” the letter stated. "The underwear is choking the sewer pumps and causing blockages. "Every time this happens, it costs rate payers approximately $250-500 depending on the time of occurrence. "The frequency of this happening is becoming more regular with crews having to lift pumps in Bellinger Keys four times in one week. "Please do not flush underwear, nappies or wipes down the toilet, instead dispose of them in the rubbish bins as none of them (undies) break down and they block the pumps. "Should this keep on happening, Council will install a camera in the sewer mains to locate the perpetrator and issue a fine.” Concerned about the cost and installation of cameras, resident Catherine McKinnon said the positive is Council is addressing the issue. "How much money will this potentially cost rate payers of Bellinger Keys if Council installs cameras?” she questioned. "Council will have to install a camera on every individual sewer main running from their property to the main Council sewer main. "On a positive note, they are addressing a major problem for water treatment works.”

Q: Is there a way to insert an image into a chart in xlsxwriter? In Excel it's possible to insert images into charts for fun and profit. I'd like to replicate that in xlsxwriter, but can't figure out how to do it. Does anyone know? A: As the documentation on its Chart class does not contain the word "image", I would say it can't be done with xlsxwriter.
The NHL finals between the Nashville Predators and the Pittsburgh Penguins is all tied up 2-2 as the action heads north again. We’ve got your live stream details for the crucial game five on June 8 at 8pm EST. This has been one of the most explosive NHL finals in years, with the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Nashville Predators completely dominating their home games while losing badly on the road. The Pens went up 2-0 while playing at PPG Paints Arena, then headed to Nashville where they were absolutely destroyed by the Preds. The defending Stanley Cup champs now get home ice once again and hope to bounce back in game five, as whoever wins this game will be one victory away from achieveing league dominance. Both teams have so much to fight for, as Pittsburgh wants to keep the iconic trophy for another year, while the Predators are chasing their first NHL title in franchise history. The series has been all about the power of goaltending, as Nashville’s Pekka Rinne, 34, has proved. He gave up eight goals on just 36 shots in his two games in Pittsburgh, but saved 23 of 24 shots in game four alone. He now owns a 13-1 record in his past 14 home games, and is guaranteed at least one more game in Bridgestone Arena in game six. “He was incredible today. He made some great saves [on shots] that you thought was going in but he battled back and kept it out of the net,” forward Viktor Arvidsson, 24, said after the Predators 4-1 victory in game four on June 5. “We never doubt Peks. He’s an unbelievable player. He steps up for us every night. He’s the key to our game.” “I don’t want to look back. We have work to be done. I’m sure at the end of the day when you look back, it’s a roller coaster and an emotional ride,” Pekka said after his incredible performance. “The first two games we did a lot of good things. Personally I wasn’t very happy with my game. But obviously these two [last] games have been huge for us, and personally too. It’s a game of confidence, being a goalie.” He had one of the most epic moments of the finals with his huge double save on two Sidney Crosby back to back shots, then threw his body across the crease to block an open-net shot by Jake Guentzel. It was THE moment of the series and completely energized the Predators. The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Nashville Predators in game five of the Stanley Cup finals on June 8 at 8pm EST.

The NRA Is Making a Gun Deal Vanish Erosion takes time. With news that the Senate might push a vote on a package of new gun legislation for another week, opponents gain seven more days to wear down support for its elements — even for some of the more popular elements, like new trafficking regulations. There are four components to the Senate package: increased funding for school safety programs, new gun trafficking penalties, increased background checks, and a ban on assault weapons. They're listed in the order of how likely they are to pass, from most to least. The NRA's goal is to pull the entire package to the right until it crosses the invisible line of 40 votes needed to tank the entire thing — or until what remains up for approval is sufficiently watered-down. They've done so with the fourth element, the assault weapons ban, already. It's well past the 40-vote line, and as a result will be voted on as an amendment to the main package. That will fail. "You can do it within a way that does not infringe upon an individual, and make it hard for an individual to transfer to a friend or a neighbor or somebody... and have a casual sale," Hutchinson said. "We don't want to infringe upon those rights, either." While Hutchinson's comments express support for background checks, he stopped far short of endorsing the type of universal background checks for all gun sales that have been proposed in Senate legislation. The NRA quickly clarified Hutchinson's comments. "He meant expanding it to include more people into the national instant check system," the lobbying group said in a statement to CNN. But it didn't really matter. Even had there been a defector in its ranks, the NRA was likely to win on background checks, too. Senate Majority Leader Reid postponed a vote on the package until after the Senate's recess in the hopes that a compromise could be reached in the interim. There's no sign that a compromise — which would focus on assuaging Republican concerns that expended checks might lead to a national gun registry — is within reach. So the NRA moves down the line. The newest target for the NRA is the generally popular effort to increase penalties for illegally trafficking firearms. Senate Bill 54 would expand regulations on "straw purchases," purchases made for resale to someone not eligible to own a weapon. While never a slam dunk (it passed the Senate Judiciary Committee on an 11-7 vote, with Sen. Grassley of Iowa providing the sole Republican vote), it's generally been seen as a common-sense step. The bill as written would penalize anyone who purchases a gun for someone prohibited from owning it or for someone intending to use it in a crime. The NRA argues this language could penalize people unfairly. If a person buys a gun and sells it to another person, who in turn sells it to yet another person, the bill’s language could be used to punish the initial buyer of the gun, the NRA says. The gun lobby also wants to cut a measure that would see someone convicted of straw purchases surrendering any weapons and ammunition in their possession, though in most analagous situations — like the illegal sale of prescription drugs — confiscation would be the norm. Grassley is already wavering. “I voted for the trafficking bill in the Judiciary Committee, but it was far from a perfect piece of legislation,” Grassley said.“At the time, I explained that there were changes that needed to be made before I would support it on the floor.” But that week also gives the NRA more time to keep pulling the package to the right, to see what it can get across that 40-vote line. And to make sure that whatever's left on the other side for approval contains only provisions the group find palatable. News reports are focusing on the Germanwings pilot's possible depression, following a familiar script in the wake of mass killings. But the evidence shows violence is extremely rare among the mentally ill.
Q: how to access NSObject Class variable from NSMutableArray for sorting I have added several class Objects into a NSMutableArray. It seems to have worked however I would like to now access the variables that are inside the class object I have stored into the array, however I am now running into some errors. Initially I have a NSDictionary of entries that are all NSString based the purpose of the method I am passing this NSArray of NSDictionary/s too is to take each entry in the dictionary and place it into a variable of the correct type. Then this NSObject of variables is passed back to where it was called from. Below is the code I am using to achieve this. response.m // initalise NSOject Class SearchResultList *searchResultList = [[SearchResultList alloc]init]; // Create mutableArray with compacity (compacity is based of the current array of NSDictionarys (entries are strings)) NSMutableArray *searchObjectArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:[filteredArray count]]; // count to track progress of the array int myCount = 0; // for loop goes through the array passing each object in the array over to the search class object for (id obj in filteredArray) { // Pass current array object over to the NSObject Class Method, this method assigns the entires of the NSDictionary object to the variables of the object class coorect type values [searchResultList assignSearchData:filteredArray[myCount]]; // This is where I capture the returning NSObject Class (at least I think thats whats happening. [searchObjectArray addObject:searchResultList]; // increments count myCount ++; } //.. This is the class method that being called inside the for loop SearchResultList.m //return is of type, SearchResultList which is the object class itself... not sure if this is 100% correct. - (SearchResultList *)assignSeriesSearchData:(NSMutableDictionary*)tempDict { //add all of the NSDictionary entries into their own variables of the correct type such as // initalize DOORID - NSInteger doorID = [[tempDict valueForKey:@"DOORID"] integerValue]; // initalize DOORDESC - NSString doorDesc = [tempDict valueForKey:@"DOORDESC"]; // initalize DOOROPEN - BOOL doorOpen = [[tempDict valueForKey:@"DOOROPEN"] boolValue]; // initalize DOORLETTER - char doorLetter = [[tempDict valueForKey:@"DOORLETTER"] UTF8String]; //... //then I return the NSObject Class to the place where it was called return self; } So from here, I end up back in the for Loop of response.m where I call searchObjectArray addObject:searchResultList]; to capture the the returning class object. At this point I have two questions. First, am I capturing the the NSObject Class correctly Second, Once I have added all of the Class Objects to the array how could I then acces the variables of a specific object in the array? The reason I ask the second question Is because I am wanting to pass this array to a sorting method, which sorts based off one or more variables of the objects that are in the array. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A: To your first question: you should alloc/init a new instance of your SearchResultList class within your loop, otherwise you will just be reusing and overwriting the same object. In your question you keep referring to is as an NSObject, which it technically is, being a subclass of NSObject, but it is really an instance of your custom class. (As a side note I would suggest using a class name like SearchResultItem instead rather than SearchResultList, since it is not really a list and this could be confusing to someone looking at your code, but I've left it the way you had it.) NSMutableArray *searchObjectArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:[filteredArray count]]; for (NSDictionary *obj in filteredArray) { SearchResultList *searchResultList = [[SearchResultList alloc] init]; [searchResultList assignSearchData:obj]; [searchObjectArray addObject:searchResultList]; } Also note that since you are using fast iteration for your loop you don't need your myCount counter, since fast iteration pulls out the next object in your array for you to use with each iteration of the loop. For your second question, you need to first cast the objects coming out of your array as your custom class (SearchResultList) in order to access the specific property. For example: SearchResultList* myObj = (SearchResultList*)[searchObjectArray objectAtIndex:0]; int doorID = myObj.doorID;
Inversion of chromosome 16 and eosinophilia in refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts: report of a case. A 72-year-old male who was admitted to our hospital with severe anemia was diagnosed as refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts (RARS), according to the French-American-British (FAB) classification of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The patient showed persistent eosinophilia with no definite signs of either allergy or a parasitic infection. Chromosomal analysis of bone marrow cells revealed inv(16)(p13q22), a known characteristic of M4Eo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the FAB classification. This patient didn't exhibit leukemic transformation during his 20-month clinical course, nor was any found at autopsy. Therefore, this is the first case of RARS to speculate that the chromosomal characteristic inv(16)(p13q22) might be specific for eosinophilia rather than AML.

WikiLeaks says it has delivered on its promise to release thousands of documents in an effort to harm Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign before the Democratic National Convention. On July 22, Wikileaks announced that it had hacked thousands of DNC emails and other documents. See the Wikileaks Twitter page for links to documents and more. CNN reported that DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz will no longer speak at the Democratic National Convention because of fallout over emails that appear to show DNC officials were conspiring against Bernie Sanders. The DNC has not acknowledged that the documents are accurate or that its systems were infiltrated, Daily Caller says, and the documents could not be independently verified, although, if true, they could prove embarrassing to high-profile people, including NBC’s Chuck Todd. Emails show DNC officials may have been involved in plots to discredit Bernie Sanders when he was still running against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, WikiLeaks says. WikiLeaks says the documents include 167 off the record or deep background conversations as well as full audio of conversations. WikiLeaks claims that the emails show the DNC was plotting to expose Bernie Sanders as “an atheist” and trying to build an anti-Bernie narrative. One email shows DNC staffers plotting to create a fake CraigsList ad for a Trump organization, WikiLeaks says. WikiLeaks says another indicates top DNC press officials were considering spreading the rumors, pushed by Donald Trump, that Ted Cruz’ father was linked to the Kennedy assassination (Cruz denies it): #DNCLeak: Trump may be right about Ted Cruz's father & JFK kill — Comms head Luis Miranda https://t.co/jjJV1ndJzM pic.twitter.com/UGbPNLutAE — WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) July 23, 2016 Some allegations were more serious than others. #DNCleaks Did https://t.co/cxIep1AJAs asked DNC to commit an FEC violation "Don't send me an email like this again" https://t.co/NiCKuHkx9d — WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) July 22, 2016 Some, if verified, could just prove embarrassing to the senders, including this message disparaging the president: #DNCleaks: "Cubs tickets… I don’t have anyone anymore and the guy who we used to go to hates Obama now." https://t.co/IvYfgNIS3U — WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) July 22, 2016 Some of the documents appear non controversial (such as invites to events, including with the president). Others appear to include donors’ private credit card information and other private information. However, people are already unearthing information about newsmakers. The Daily Caller says that Wikileaks has released nearly 20,000 emails in all that “it says are from the accounts of Democratic National Committee officials” adding, “The release could cloud the upcoming Democratic party convention, which kicks off next week in Philadelphia.” In one email, it appeared that the DNC was vetting a Black Lives Matter leader, DeRay Mckesson, to “act as a surrogate.” The hacked email read in part, “Finance asked us to vet DeRay to act as a surrogate, possibly with the Chair, at an upcoming event.” The New York Times calls Mckesson one of the “best known voices” of the Black Lives Matter movement. DeRay Mckesson was recently in the news when he was arrested in protests in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the wake of the police shooting death of Alton Sterling. WikiLeaks has released emails that appear to be between NBC’s Chuck Todd and a DNC official. whom WikiLeaks says was “scheming” against Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski. The email that WikiLeaks says is from a DNC official says in part, “Hey Chuck, per our conversation earlier today, I’d appreciate it if you passed along the following to the Morning Joe team. I understand Joe and Mika will say whatever they’re going to say in terms of opinion, but at a minimum they should consider the facts on some of the key allegations they’re making.” The email contains background information and concludes, “There’s just no evidence that the process has been rigged.” Todd’s response is shorter: “Between us, You think the call is a good idea?” The DNC official, Luis Miranda, replies, “Not necessarily. If Mika just doesn’t like her, I’m not sure it’s worth either of their time. I’ve lowered her expectations, but don’t know. If you think Mika is set in stone I’m happy to kill it.” In 2014, Todd was criticized by a Morning Joe panelist for seeming to be against Chris Christie. Todd later said that, “unlike ‘Morning Joe,’ he’s not going to carry water for Christie” and said he was neutral: “I’m not cheerleading,” Todd said. “You’re asking me to cheerlead one side or the other. I’m not cheerleading. I know others on this show are cheerleading. That’s fine.”
The overall purpose of this research proposal is to investigate the pathogenesis of the increased risk of cholesterol gallstones imposed by pregnancy and by taking female steroid hormones. Emphasis is placed upon studying effects of pregnancy and female steroid hormones on bile acid metabolism in human subjects. Bile acid kinetics will be measured using a newly developed method employing serum bile acids for estimating the rate of decay of administered cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids labelled with stable isotopes. Isotope abundance of 13C-labelled and 2H-labelled bile acids will be measured with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/isotope ratiometry. Effects of pregnancy and female steroid hormones will be determined by serial and repeated studies during pregnancy and in the same subjects taking and not taking contraceptive steroids, estrogens, and progestins. Gallbladder storage and emptying, measured by realtime ultrasonography, and gastrointestinal transit, measured by the time of a breath hydrogen increase after oral lactulose, will be determined simultaneously. Cholecystectomized women will be compared with normal women. In some experiments sorbitol will be given to accelerate intestinal transit. These studies should indicate whether the increase in bile acid pool that occurs in such subjects is due to slowed enterohepatic circulation of bile acids or to hormonal stimulation of hepatic bile acid synthesis. The effects of pregnancy and female steroid hormones on hepatic incorporation of several precursors, labelled with stable isotopes, into bile acids will also be determined in intact subjects. The rate of synthesis of bile acids from precursor will be compared to the rate of synthesis determined by standard isotope dilution. These studies are designed to identify effects of pregnancy and female steroids on pathways of bile acid acid biosynthesis that might explain the disproportionate increase in cholic acid synthesis and pool size seen in pregnancy and during contraceptive steroid administration. The bile acid precursors, 7Alphahydroxy cholesterol, 7Alphahydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, 26-hydroxycholesterol and 7Alpha, 26-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one will be studied.
The stellar logic of Kumbh Mela 2019 Calendars can fall victims to the phenomenon of culture and nationalism supplanting astronomical principles that lie at their foundation A perusal of the official website of Kumbh Mela, 2019 — hosted by the Prayagraj Mela Pradhikaran, Uttar Pradesh — reveals why this is not a kumbh at all. It mentioned two celestial alignments under which Kumbh can be held in Prayagraj (Allahabad). These are: a) When Jupiter enters the Aries constellation and the Sun and the Moon are in Capricorn constellation, the Kumbh festival is held at Prayagraj on the new moon day and b) When the Sun is in Capricorn and Jupiter moves in to Taurus, the Kumbh festival is held at Prayagraj. Jupiter is nowhere close to either Aries, let alone Taurus at present. The bulky planet is residing in Scorpio (vrischik raashi) since October 11, 2018, and will move into Sagittarius (dhanu raashi) on March 30, 2019, seven-and-a-half months ahead of its usual residency period of 13 months in one sign. Throughout the year, it will travel back and forth between Scorpio and Sagittarius several times — an uncommon though not impossible phenomenon when a planet’s motion along its orbit is observed from the Earth against the backdrop of constellations. Critics were quick to point out that the Kumbh Mela was organised in erstwhile Allahabad (Prayagraj) as recently as 2013. That was the time when Jupiter was residing in Taurus. The 2019 mela should, thus, be called Ardha Kumbh. But the Yogi Adityanath Government in Uttar Pradesh, in an image-building exercise, went overboard to describe it as Kumbh. Exhibitory Hinduism is not without its drawback. Ardh Kumbh no doubt is as conventional as Kumbh itself. However, on a theoretical premise, it militates against the concept of Kumbha Yoga. Either a planetary position exists, or it does not. Jupiter in Scorpio is Jupiter in Scorpio. It cannot be expressed in terms of half or one-fourth of Jupiter in Taurus or Aries. The Kumbh Mela is held at four different locations in India viz, Haridwar, Prayagraj (Allahabad), Ujjain and Nasik, under four different kinds of planetary combinations. Their time is determined mostly by the position of planet Jupiter and Sun in different constellations. The name Kumbh is derived from the sign of Aquarius (kumbha raashi). But against popular misconception, no planet needs to be positioned in that sign for the mela to take place, except in the case of Haridwar. The beginning of Kumbh or Ardha Kumbh 2019 coincides with Makar Sankranti. It refers to transition of the Sun into the sign of Capricorn (makar raashi). The event recurs annually since the Sun transits across the entire zodiac band once every year, residing in one sign for a month. Makar Sankranti is celebrated with fervour across India, marked by holy dip in rivers, including the Ganga and water bodies. Since the solar calendars in India are actually sidereal rather than tropical, the month’s beginning is marked by the entry of the Sun in a new zodiac sign. The transit point from one to the other is called Sankranti. Traditional calendars used in eastern and southern parts of India are mostly solar. Those used in northern and western parts are mostly luni-solar ie lunar calendar with provision for an intercalary month (adhi-masa) to bring it at par with solar year. A luni-solar calendar like Vikram Samvat treats the months as sacrosanct but the year length as incidental. The months are coeval with lunation — from Shukla Pratipada to Amavasya. In sidereal solar calendars, months are as important as the year. The month changes as the Sun goes over each of the 12 divisions of the zodiac. The Gregorian calendar, by contrast, is tropical by nature. The extent of the natural year, in a diagrammatic representation, is coeval with greatest limits of the Sun’s declination in the North and the South. These are Tropic of Cancer (230 26’12.5”N) in the North and the Tropic of Capricorn (230 26’12.5”S) in the South where the Sun is directly overhead on June 21 and December 22, respectively. For the northern hemisphere, the date June 21 is summer solstice, signifying the longest day and December 22 is winter solstice, signifying the shortest day. They are reversed, like the seasonal cycle itself, in the southern hemisphere. The days and nights are equal (Equinox) on March 21 and September 21 when the Sun is overhead at noon on the Equator. The Gregorian calendar functions without any reference to zodiacal background or phases of the moon. The two solstices and two equinoxes — all of them astronomical events — form the four pillars of the calendar. The proof of the calendar being in order is that these events should correspond to dates specified for them. The Julian calendar (estd, 45 BC) had to be corrected by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 AD by — dropping 10 days — because the Spring Equinox had gradually crawled up to March 11 (same with two Solstices) over a millennium and a half. The Pope brought in corrective rules of leap year to replace the ones formulated by Julius Caesar. The leap years were dropped from the beginning of the century (00 year) unless the year was perfectly divisible by four. Under the new rules, the Gregorian calendar can go wrong by one day maximum in 5,000 years, a flaw that can be rectified by further dropping of leap years once in 1,000 years. The names of Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, however, are reminiscent of the times when the West tried to interpret a solar event by zodiacal background. This was sometime before the beginning of the Christian era. The Tropic of Capricorn was so named because the Sun used to be in Capricorn constellation when it came overhead that line of latitude (230 26’12.5”S). But now due to the axial precession of earth (sometimes referred to as precession of equinoxes) the Sun does not reside in the constellation of Capricorn on Winter Solstice (December 22). It is still in the constellation of Aquarius. The story follows a similar script for Tropic of Cancer. This forms the point of departure of the Western (now called Gregorian) calendar from the Indian solar calendars. The Hindus have chosen to preserve the (reference to) constellation, whereas the West civilisation the reference to tropics. The entry of the Sun in the constellation of Capricorn (makar raashi) is celebrated as Makar Sankranti which occasions annual Magh Mela and at pre-determined intervals the Kumbh Mela. But what is the significance of Makar Sankranti, that we celebrate it out of 12 possible Sankrantis during a year? This is because it is observed as Uttarayan, when the Sun begins its (half-yearly) northward journey. It is the beginning of the day of gods. But in reality, the Sun is overhead (at noon) at the southernmost point of tropic on December 22. It begins its northward journey on its apparent path soon afterwards. It seems plausible that Uttarayan, which is a tropical phenomenon, and Makar Sankranti, which is a sidereal (related to stars or constellation) phenomenon, coincided in time more than 2,000 years ago. It was acceptable to describe them as being synonymous. But gradually, due to axial precession of the earth, they diverged. Thus, today, coinciding Uttarayan and Makar Sankranti implies the calendar is going wrong. This means that the seasons are shifting as per the Indian solar calendar. Restructuring is called for on the lines suggested by Calendar Reforms Committee, 1952. (The writer is an independent researcher based in New Delhi.

Q: Why do I need a synchronization barrier? I have two pthreads which are reading/writing to a shared memory location. In one thread I keep checking for update to memory location. (Linux, Glibc) Thread 1: while(1) { if (ptr) ptr->do_something(); } Thread 2: ptr = update(); The point here is that I do not see the update being reflected even after a while. If I use synchronization barrier as follows, the update is immediately visible: while(1) { __sync_synchronize(); if (ptr) ptr->do_something(); } So my questions are: Why is the update not visible even after a long time? What does __sync_synchronize() do exactly? Edit 1: I understand why the update might not be visible immediately. My question is specifically why it is not visible even after a very long time. A: You're falling foul of an area that's not been standardised in C/C++ until very recently—the memory model. The bottom line is that in the absence of synchronisation (in the broad sense of the term) there are no guarantees about when, or even if, changes made by one thread will be seen by another thread. There's more to it than just when (or if) something will become visible—it also affects ordering. So this kind of thing, for example, is completely unsafe: bool important_data_ready = false; // In thread 1 void* important_data = calculate_important_data(); important_data_ready = true; // In thread 2 if (important_data_ready) { // use important_data } Because it would be quite possible for important_data_ready to become true from the point of view of thread 2 before thread 1's write to important_data is visible from that thread's point of view. Worse, in the absence of standardisation on how this should work, the details have varied between compilers and CPUs. This stuff has been standardised in Java since Java 5 (2004) but only became standardised in C/C++ in C11 and C++11. The __sync_synchronize function you're using is a legacy gcc facility that issues a full memory barrier—in a nutshell, this ensures that everything done by the thread before that memory barrier will be visible to another thread before anything done after the memory barrier. But you're not using it safely—it also needs to be used by the reading thread for full safety. You're probably better off, if you can, using the new standardised mechanisms supported by C11. This talk by Herb Sutter is a good starting point.

Preventing nutritional disorders in athletes: focus on the basics. The prevention of nutritional disorders in athletes is often a controversial topic. The answer centers on the practitioners ability to assess each participant's individual needs, ensuring that basic nutrient requirements are met. The cornerstone to any athlete's nutritional program is to ensure an adequate energy intake correctly proportioned with macronutrients. Inherent to this goal is the understanding that exposure to chronic stress alters energy depots: musculoskeletal structure and immune/inflammatory responses that either facilitate or hinder training based on recovery. Essential to the athlete's health is the understanding that each is a unique individual who will never fit neatly into a predefined, cookbook approach to nutrition. Failure to meet these objectives will only impair recovery. Although quality training and adequate rest is important to training, so too is adequate energy balance. This article focuses on better understanding the benefits of adequate energy balance, further enhanced by a better understanding of macronutrient use.
Dianna Agron and Naya Rivera remember 'Glee' co-star Cory Monteith posted by Raechal Leone Shewfelt | Yahoo! omg! - 3 years ago Dianna Agron, who played Monteith's former flame on the Fox show, issued a heartfelt statement on Wednesday, four days after he was found unresponsive in a Vancouver hotel room. "I have never lost a friend," Agron wrote under a photo of herself and Monteith on Instagram. "In this difficult time, I am leaning on all of the wonderful memories we shared with Cory, how many ways he was able to make us smile. Glee was a gift to all of us. It gave us a family in this industry. We really cut our teeth and grew up on this show. In playing underdogs, we learned that we had dug into the hearts of our viewers and that we could stay there." Agron continued, "Cory is so deserving of that place in everyone's hearts. He was one of the most generous and kind people that I have ever met. He had a smart, curious mind, he was an enormous talent. He was loving to not only me, but my family. My heart goes out to his family, to [girlfriend] Lea [Michele], to everyone that is struggling with the loss of our friend. We will miss you Cory. We will always carry a piece of you with us."

Experimental antibody therapy of liver metastases reveals functional redundancy between Fc gammaRI and Fc gammaRIV. Many patients with colorectal cancer will develop liver metastases, even after successful surgical removal of the primary tumor at a time at which no visible metastases are present. We previously demonstrated that surgery--although mandatory--paradoxically enhances the risk of developing liver metastases. Because Ab therapy has been acknowledged as a successful strategy to treat malignancies, we studied the potential of postoperative adjuvant Ab therapy to prevent outgrowth of liver metastases. Treatment with murine anti-gp75 (TA99) mAb completely prevented outgrowth of B16F10 liver metastases in over 90% of mice. Therapeutic efficacy was maintained in either C1q- or complement receptor 3-deficient mice but was completely abrogated in FcR gamma-chain knockout mice. This indicates that the classical complement pathway was not essential, but interaction with activatory Fc gammaR was necessary for successful therapy. TA99-treatment was still effective in Fc gammaRI(-/-), Fc gammaRIII(-/-), Fc gammaRI/III(-/-), and Fc gammaRI/II/III(-/-) mice, suggesting an important role for Fc gammaRIV. However, wild-type mice that were treated with TA99 Abs and an Fc gammaRIV blocking Ab (mAb 9E9) were protected against development of liver metastases as well. Only when both Fc gammaRI and Fc gammaRIV functions were simultaneously inhibited, TA99-mediated curative Ab treatment was abrogated, indicating functional redundancy between both IgG receptors in the liver. Furthermore, depletion of liver macrophages (Kupffer cells) reduced the efficacy of Ab therapy, supporting that Kupffer cells are involved as effector cells. Importantly, since Ab treatment almost completely prevented development of liver metastases, postoperative adjuvant Ab therapy may help to improve patient prognosis.
Evaluating genomic DNA extraction methods from human whole blood using endpoint and real-time PCR assays. The extraction of genomic DNA is the crucial first step in large-scale epidemiological studies. Though there are many popular DNA isolation methods from human whole blood, only a few reports have compared their efficiencies using both end-point and real-time PCR assays. Genomic DNA was extracted from coronary artery disease patients using solution-based conventional protocols such as the phenol-chloroform/proteinase-K method and a non-phenolic non-enzymatic Rapid-Method, which were evaluated and compared vis-a-vis a commercially available silica column-based Blood DNA isolation kit. The appropriate method for efficiently extracting relatively pure DNA was assessed based on the total DNA yield, concentration, purity ratios (A260/A280 and A260/A230), spectral profile and agarose gel electrophoresis analysis. The quality of the isolated DNA was further analysed for PCR inhibition using a murine specific ATP1A3 qPCR assay and mtDNA/Y-chromosome ratio determination assay. The suitability of the extracted DNA for downstream applications such as end-point SNP genotyping, was tested using PCR-RFLP analysis of the AGTR1-1166A>C variant, a mirSNP having pharmacogenetic relevance in cardiovascular diseases. Compared to the traditional phenol-chloroform/proteinase-K method, our results indicated the Rapid-Method to be a more suitable protocol for genomic DNA extraction from human whole blood in terms of DNA quantity, quality, safety, processing time and cost. The Rapid-Method, which is based on a simple salting-out procedure, is not only safe and cost-effective, but also has the added advantage of being scaled up to process variable sample volumes, thus enabling it to be applied in large-scale epidemiological studies.
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss: supporting the immunologic theory. Sudden deafness constitutes a diagnostic challenge. Classically, 2 causes, viral and vascular, are considered in the origin of idiopathic sudden hearing loss. More recently added to the list of possibilities are rupture of the membranous labyrinth and immune-mediated sensorineural hearing loss. The latter can be either primary and localized to the inner ear or, in perhaps fewer than one third of cases, secondary to generalized systemic autoimmune disease. The purpose of the present review is to define immune-mediated sudden sensorineural hearing loss as a distinctive entity, on the basis of clinical, immunologic, and pathological findings, and suggest a profile of the typical patient.

913 S.W.2d 251 (1996) WILLIAM C. DEAR & ASSOCIATES, INC., Appellant, v. PLASTRONICS, INC., Appellee. No. 07-94-0155-CV. Court of Appeals of Texas, Amarillo. January 4, 1996. Rehearing Overruled January 24, 1996. *253 Clark & Seay, Robert M. Clark, Dallas, for appellant. Cowles & Thompson, Julia F. Pendery, G. Michael Gruber, Brian N. Hail, Dallas, for appellee. Before REYNOLDS, C.J., and DODSON and QUINN, JJ. QUINN, Justice. William C. Dear & Associates, Inc. (Dear) appealed from a final summary judgment awarding Plastronics, Inc. (Plastronics) $9,375.11. The sum consisted of three times the amount of interest charged in excess of that allowed by law, that is, $4,375.11, plus attorney's fees of $5,000.00. As an additional penalty, the court ordered that Dear "forfeit... all principal on which interest was charged, $48,612.36, as well as all interests and costs [it] demanded...." In four points of error, Dear contended that it did not charge excessive interest, that the usury statute did not apply to transactions of this nature, that a material question of fact concerning bona fide error existed, and that a material question of fact regarding the reasonableness of the attorney's fees awarded existed. We overrule the first three points, sustain the fourth, and affirm in part and reverse in part. Facts The controversy arises from investigatory services performed by Dear on behalf of Plastronics. The latter raised question about the final sum due and owing. Eventually, Dear sent to Plastronics, on November 10, 1992, an invoice itemizing the outstanding debt and the amount of interest that accrued thereon from May 1992 through October of that same year. As disclosed by the face of the invoice, Dear charged Plastronics interest at one percent per month, or twelve percent per annum. It then added the interest accruing each month to the outstanding principal and calculated further interest on that sum. The method utilized, known as compounding, provided an effective rate slightly exceeding twelve percent per year. At oral argument, both parties conceded that we look at the face of the November 10th invoice to determine whether Dear levied usurious interest. We abide by that concession. Points of Error One through Three As previously mentioned, Dear initially contended that it did not charge interest "in excess of twice the legal rate" and as prohibited by Texas Revised Civil Statute 5069-1.06(2). We disagree. Neither party suggested that they had an agreement specifying an applicable rate. Under that circumstance, statute permitted Dear to tax Plastronics with simple interest at six percent per annum, commencing 30 days after the debt is due. Tex.Rev.Civ.Stat. Ann. art. 5069-1.03 (Vernon 1987). For example, on the $48,612.36 allegedly due, article 5069-1.03 permitted Dear to assess Plastronics an interest charge of approximately $243.06 a month. Dear, however, doubled the assessment in May of 1992 and added the amount to the outstanding principal thereby raising the latter to $49,098.48. To calculate the interest for June, it multiplied $49,098.48 by one percent and derived an interest charge of $490.98. The latter was then added to $49,098.48 for a total of $49,589.46. An identical process was used in calculating interest for July, August, September, and October as well. So figured, the entire amount of interest charged via the November invoice equalled $2,990.62, while statute allowed it to receive approximately $1,458.36. Moreover, basic arithmetic discloses that $2,990.62 exceeds twice the lawful amount Dear could have charged by $73.90. Consequently, Plastronics was entitled, as a matter of law, to the relief provided under Texas Revised Civil Statute 5069-1.06(1) and (2), and that was the exact relief granted below. That the pending circumstances fell within the scope of article 5069-1.06 is beyond doubt. The charge represented a fee sought from Plastronics for withholding payment. As such, it was nothing other than compensation for the detention of money purportedly due, and that is "interest" contemplated by article 5069-1.06. Tex.Rev.Civ. Stat.Ann. art. 5069-1.01(a) (defining interest as compensation for the use, forbearance, or *254 detention of money); Sunwest Bank of El Paso v. Gutierrez, 819 S.W.2d 673, 675 (Tex. App.—El Paso 1991, writ denied) (stating that the detention of money occurs when a debt becomes due and the debtor withholds payment without new contract or right to do so). Equally unquestionable is the absence of any evidence suggesting that the charge emanated from a bona fide error. Dear did not deny that it charged Plastronics one percent per month, compounded monthly, nor that it intended to charge that rate. Nor did it argue that charging one percent per month, so compounded, was some sort of mistake or clerical error. Rather, it posited that it lacked "intent ... to charge ... any interest which [Plastronics] was not obligated to pay" and that "[a]ny charging of interest over and above the lawful rate ... was the result of an accidental and bona fide error." Nevertheless, selecting and assessing a specified rate with the hope that it comports with the usury statutes is not the stuff of a bona fide mistake under purposes of article 5069-1.06(1). See Commercial Credit Equip. Corp. v. West, 677 S.W.2d 669, 676-77 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 1984, writ ref'd n.r.e.) (holding that ignorance of the usury laws is not a bona fide error). Miscalculation or typographical mistake exemplifies bona fide error rather than the desire to avoid charging interest which the debtor was not obligated to pay. Indeed, the creditor need not have the specific intent to charge usury to violate the usury statutes; he need only intend to charge the rate charged. Nor can we agree, as Dear urged, that the assessment it made merely equalled, but failed to exceed, twice the lawful rate. The Texas Supreme Court indeed has condoned the practice of charging interest on interest, that is, the practice of compounding interest. Bothwell v. Farmers' & Merchants' State Bank & T. Co., 120 Tex. 1, 30 S.W.2d 289, 291 (1930). Yet, that case dealt not with 5069-1.03 or its ancestors. Rather, it involved an agreement in which the right to compound was extended. Here, we have a legislative enactment covering situations wherein no agreement exists. In the absence of an agreement, the legislature has daned to allow creditors to charge a specific six percent. However, the statute mentions nothing of compounding. More importantly, when the legislature has sought to permit compounding, it has enacted statute expressly permitting same. E.g., Tex.Rev.Civ.Stat. Ann. art. 5069-1.05, sec. 3(a) (Vernon Supp. 1995) (stating that interest on judgment shall be "compounded annually"). By omitting it in reference to article 5069-1.03, we construe the omission as intent to disallow compounding when the parties have not otherwise agreed, and, we will abide by that intent. Thus, Dear may not invoke the practice of compounding to support its argument that the rate charged failed to exceed twice that permitted by law. Point of Error Four In its last point of error, Dear posited that an issue of fact exists regarding the reasonableness of the attorney's fees incurred by Plastronics. The latter, through affidavit of counsel, proposed that a reasonable fee for services "performed ... from inception to the date of affidavit" would be $5,000.00. It further opined that $5,000.00 for defending against an appeal to intermediate appellate court, $2,500.00 for responding to an application for writ of error to the Texas Supreme Court and $2,500.00 for handling the matter through the Supreme Court should the writ be granted would also comprise reasonable fees. Dear responded, through affidavit executed by counsel, expressly disputing the reasonableness of fee sought for legal work at the trial court level and describing why it believed the fee unreasonable. In so controverting Plastronics' evidence, Dear created a classic material issue of fact which the court could not resolve short of trial. Point of error four is sustained. Accordingly, we affirm the summary judgment except to the extent that it awards Plastronics an attorney's fee. We reverse the award of the fee and remand, to the trial court for trial, the question of what amount of attorney's fees should reasonably be awarded to Plastronics under article 5069-1.06 of the Texas Revised Civil Statutes.
Q: Replacing hundreds of files with one simple check box check Is there a simple or a more compact way to do this with a large number of files with one check-box (checked/unchecked), i have i think few thousand lines to put inside the code and i can sort them by year, or by type: private void CheckBox() { try { switch (checkBox.IsChecked) { case true: { const string disable_picture100 = "images/disabled/picture100.png"; const string picture100 = "images\\disabled\\picture100.png"; Records[picture100].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, disable_picture100, content.FileRoot); const string disable_picture101 = "images/disabled/picture101.png"; const string picture101 = "images\\disabled\\picture101.png"; Records[picture101].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, disable_picture101, content.FileRoot); const string disable_picture102 = "images/disabled/picture102.png"; const string picture102 = "images\\disabled\\picture102.png"; Records[picture102].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, disable_picture102, content.FileRoot); UpdateImage(); } break; case false: { const string enable_picture100 = "images/enabled/picture100.png"; const string picture100 = "images\\enabled\\picture100.png"; Records[picture100].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, enable_picture100, content.FileRoot); const string enable_picture101 = "images/enabled/picture101.png"; const string picture101 = "images\\enabled\\picture101.png"; Records[picture101].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, enable_picture101, content.FileRoot); const string enable_picture102 = "images/enabled/picture102.png"; const string picture102 = "images\\enabled\\picture102.png"; Records[picture102].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, enable_picture102, content.FileRoot); UpdateImage(); } break; } } catch (Exception ex) { //ignored } } Thank you!

Esalen Institute Founded in 1962, the Esalen Institute is located in Big Sur, California. Once home to a Native American tribe that went by the name Esselen, it covers about 27 acres of the Big Sur coastline and is home to some famous hot springs. The Santa Lucia Mountains provide the backdrop for the institute. So how did they get started? Well, Esalen is where the so-called “human potential movement” started. Jack Kerouac makes mention of it in his novel “Big Sur”. Ken Kesey led workshops there; John Lilly was also a resident as was Stanislav Grof. The rooms at the Esalen Institute are named after people that have generally been recognized as important to this school of thought. Examples such as Alan Watts, Aldous Huxley and Abraham Maslow come to mind. While these were all members of the so-called “Beat Generation” Esalen was staring to experience a new school of thought. Since LSD was still legal at the time and Esalen proved to be a non threatening atmosphere, the “Esalen Experience” was about to be born. Thanks is large part to Ken Kesey, Timothy Leary and Owsley Stanley, there's a strong case for stating that the philosophy of the “hippie movement” had their origins at Esalen Two of the big words of the time were “experience” and “now”. LSD helped to heighten both of the feelings.It wasn’t good enough just to read some book or listen to some music, it had to be “experienced”. I think that’s the question that Jimi Hendrix was getting at when he asked “Are you Experienced?” The "now" portion can probably be best summed up by reading the classic Be Here Now, co-authored and co-edited by Ram Dass and the Lama Foundation So what do they do there today? Glad you asked. According to the Esalen Center for Theory and Research, they “support essential philosophical, academic, and research aims of the Institute. It evaluates frontier inquiry, creates networks of pioneering individuals, and works to catalyze new discoveries that promote personal and social transformation. It carries forward projects at the growing edge of philosophy, psychology, comparative religious studies, education, sociology, somatics, the arts, ecology and related disciplines that bear upon transformative practice and continued evolution of humankind.” If you as me, that’s quite a mouthful that had it origins in some mighty controversial schools of thought.

Kara Pawloski I'm Kara Pawloski,I joined RE/MAX Central Plains Realty in 2005 and I specialize in Portage la Prairie and surrounding areas. I was born and raised in Portage la Prairie and am currently raising my family here. My mission in real estate is to help my clients achieve their real estate goals by making the best decisions for their particular situation. Toward that end, I listen – so I know what is most important to them. Then I advise and guide them in their decisions while I do my part to achieve the results they want. Clients also know that I won't mislead them, and that I'll give them my honest opinion. If I see a potential problem, I'll share that thought rather than let them go ahead with a decision that might not be beneficial. My goal for my Buyers is to help guide and inform them so they are comfortable with their decision to purchase. After all, this is one of the biggest decisions and purchases they may make in their lifetime and I want it to be a positive experience.

Q: iOS: Rounded rectangle with border bleeds color I'm drawing round avatar pics, by just applying cornerRadius to a UIImageView's layer, and also adding a border via borderWith and borderColor. Like so: self.layer.masksToBounds = YES; self.layer.cornerRadius = imageDimension / 2.f; self.layer.borderWidth = 1.f; self.layer.borderColor = borderColor.CGColor; That works great, except for this tiny, but noticeable bleeding of content outside the border, like this: Is there a way to just outset the border by a few 1/10 points, or inset the content more than the border? Solution Thanks to FelixLam, I came up with a nice solution and will leave it here for the afterworld: @interface MMRoundImageViewWithBorder : UIView - (id)initWithImage:(UIImage *)image borderWidth:(CGFloat)borderWidth; @property (strong, nonatomic) UIImageView *imageView; @property (assign, nonatomic) CGFloat borderWidth; @property (strong, nonatomic) UIColor *borderColor; @end @implementation MMRoundImageViewWithBorder - (id)initWithImage:(UIImage *)image borderWidth:(CGFloat)borderWidth { if (self = [super init]) { self.borderWidth = borderWidth; self.borderColor = UIColor.whiteColor; self.imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image]; [self addSubview:self.imageView]; self.imageView.layer.masksToBounds = YES; self.layer.masksToBounds = YES; } return self; } - (void)setBorderColor:(UIColor *)borderColor { _borderColor = borderColor; self.backgroundColor = borderColor; } - (void)layoutSubviews { [super layoutSubviews]; [self refreshDimensions]; } - (void)refreshDimensions { self.layer.cornerRadius = CGRectGetWidth(self.bounds) / 2.f; self.imageView.frame = CGRectInset(self.bounds, _borderWidth, _borderWidth); self.imageView.layer.cornerRadius = CGRectGetWidth(self.imageView.bounds) / 2.f; } - (void)setBorderWidth:(CGFloat)borderWidth { _borderWidth = borderWidth; [self refreshDimensions]; } - (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame { [super setFrame:frame]; [self refreshDimensions]; } @end A: You could try to use a CAShapelayer with a circular path as the mask for the Layer instead of using the corner radius. Alternatively you can place the image view in a container that has the border and is one/two pixel larger.
Q: force re-negotiation of PCIe speed on Linux I'm working with PCIe Gen 3 cards and from time to time they seem to fall back to PCIe 1 or 2 speeds (according to lspci and also observed by the throughput). When rebooting/power cycling the machine the speed goes back to the full PCIe Gen 3 speed in most cases. Is there a less intrusive way to force a renegotiation of the PCI link speed (trying to bring it back to PCI Gen 3) on e.g. RHEL6 ? A: You can check your PCIe energy policy on this file: # cat /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy Since Gen3 are pretty straightforward on power management through ASPM(Active-State Power Management ), this could be the root cause of the issue on your bus: The throughput is low so, the modules reduces the speed but it forgets to increase it again when needed(if needed). You could enforce on grub to avoid using the "powersave" or the "default" policy by disabling aspm with the following parameter: pcie_aspm=off Test this on just one kernel appending this option at /boot/grub/grub.conf on the "kernel" line of your default boot linux. Example of grub config extracted from the Red Hat docs: default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-2.el5PAE) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-2.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet pcie_aspm=off initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-2.el5PAE.img

Monday, October 20, 2008 I have been wearing eyeglasses for my astigmatism since I was in fifth grade. I had this bad habit of reading while in the car or while lying in bed and many times, without sufficient lighting. I only had an inkling that my eyes were getting bad when we had a crochet project and I just could not do the stitches myself. I couldn't see where my fingers and the yarn where sticking! When I finally found out that I needed to wear eyeglasses, my imagination immediately ran wild and I had visions of myself wearing thick eyeglasses or worse, going blind by the time I reach 60 years old or something. Of course, this is would probably be like an exaggeration now because now, there is no need for me, or for anyone, to worry because technology has the answer to eye problems. I had been curiously reading about LASIK information and it has been such a relief to know about this technology. For several years now, there has been LASIK technology that is already available for those with nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism problems (like myself). In fact, did you know that NASA has even been using these eye improvement technologies to improve the performance of their mission-critical personnel? The most modern version of LASIK is the iLasik™ Procedure. It makes use of two lasers that evidently results in a method that is safer than the earlier versions of LASIK. Cool, huh?

Changes in the allergenicity during different preparations of Pomfret, Hilsa, Bhetki and mackerel fish as illustrated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblotting. Although the identification and characterization of several fish allergens have already been reported, there is almost no data on Indian fish allergens and the effect of thermal processing on their allergenicity. This study aimed at the evaluation of the changes in the level of allergenicity of 4 highly consumed Indian fishes, i.e. pomfret, hilsa, bhetki and mackerel, that occurred after boiling and frying. In this study 110 patients with fish hypersensitivity as evidenced by clinical history and symptoms were recruited based on their positive skin prick test results. The raw, boiled and fried muscle extracts of the 4 fishes were prepared, and each extract was tested by ELISA and immunoblotting with patients' sera. ELISA and immunoblotting studies demonstrated that the raw muscle extracts of pomfret, hilsa, bhetki and mackerel were allergenic. While the allergenicity of boiled and fried extracts of pomfret and hilsa was considerably reduced, maximum allergenicity of bhetki was demonstrated in the fried extract. The degree of allergenicity of bhetki was demonstrated in the order fried>boiled>raw while that of mackerel followed the order raw>boiled approximately fried. The specific IgE-binding activity and immunoblot profile clearly showed that pomfret and hilsa fish allergens are heat-labile, while allergens of bhetki and mackerel maintained strong reactivity even after thermal treatment.
Q: PHP popen pipes becoming null after one iteration I'm trying to generate 12 worker processes to work on various chunks of my data using popen in PHP under Windows. Here's my code... it's pretty generic. <?php set_time_limit(0); $workers = array_fill(0, 12, null); $currChunk = 56; $working = true; while($working == true) { $working = false; foreach($workers as $worker) { if($worker == null) { if($currChunk < 265) { $worker = popen('C:\php\php.exe "C:\users\administrator\desktop\do one chunk.php" '.$currChunk, 'r'); echo("\r\nStarted a worker on chunk ".$currChunk); $currChunk ++; $working = true; } } else { if(feof($worker)){ pclose($worker); $worker = null; echo("A worker finished!"); } else { fread($worker, 1); $working = true; } } } sleep(.01); } ?> What's happening here is that the script just continually starts new workers until it hits the limit of 265, then it ends. It never waits for them to actually finish. I've tried echoing the value of $worker after the popen and I get back "Resource Instance ID #XXX" which tells me that's working fine. I've also tried echoing "here!" for the else section of code that should execute if the worker is not set to null... that code never executes, even though it should. What's up? Am I blind? A: foreach operates on a copy of the array. You need to reference $worker using & to modify the elements of the original array: foreach($workers as &$worker) { The alternative is: foreach($workers as $key => $worker) { $workers[$key] = 'something'; }

Consumerization of IT Why VLAN-based grouping or “sandbox” is inadequate for BYOD Management This blog is part one of a two-part blog series. Here, I will explain why a VLAN-based solution is not adequate for BYOD management. Recent trends in Enterprise Mobility and smart devices like tablets and smartphones are giving users more choices and power through the use of customized and personalized devices at home and in the enterprise. Personalization involves using technology that empower individuals to be treated based on personal attributes and preferences rather than as part of a group. Yes, it is easier and may be cheaper for organizations to allow customization by treating individuals or devices as a group, but this does not enable individuals to consume and produce based on their personal profile and capabilities. Today, any of us can now communicate with anybody else, anywhere in the world, at costs close to zero. We can set up our own custom websites, blog and social pages. We can produce, publish, syndicate and choose what personal devices we use at work. We can customize our devices based on applications we use, bandwidth we need, when and how much we want to work whether in the office, at home or on the road. These choices and the ability to Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) to the enterprise is allowing people to be more happy, creative, productive and valuable as unique individuals rather than restricted to group options. This is why many organizations today are allowing employees and other users to use a variety of devices in the corporate network, regardless of whether they are owned by the organization or the individuals (BYOD). As a result of these benefits, many organizations have asked their IT departments to enable BYOD and corporate-owned devices that enable users to connect these devices via WiFi (or wired Ethernet) to the corporate infrastructure so that users can have full access to specific services, based on user profile and devices used – without compromising security and adding more staff Some organizations think there are two ways to deploy BYOD management : A VLAN-based approach essentially creates a Virtual LAN or a “sandbox” where groups of users are assigned based on their status. For example, if you use a guest VLAN, you configure your network so that the guest VLAN only goes out to the Internet. Or in a school, IT may create a ‘Students’ VLAN and a ‘Teachers’ VLAN where all the users of particular VLAN use the same group settings. Proponents of this approach argue that it provides all the requirements of BYOD: onboarding, user-based policy, network visibility of devices, and security. But the reality is that this approach is very much limited as it treats everyone as part of a group rather than as individuals – there is no personalization. For example, if a school wants to give a particular user within a predefined VLAN more bandwidth or network access during non-business hours, it cannot be easily and dynamically done. A new VLAN needs to be created and the user moved. Also, there is a false sense of security with VLANs. VLANS were designed for managing large LANs efficiently, by creating logical smaller workgroups, independent of physical location. As such, a hacker can hop across VLANS using several known techniques if adequate access controls between VLANS are not in place. The many issues of using VLANS for BYOD management include: No Auto discovery and multi-level profiling – which means they cannot provide granular identity attributes – this means IT has less flexibility on filtering and authorizing of particular users or devices Lack of rules-based policy for dynamic Personalization – this means individuals within a defined group cannot to be treated based on personal attributes, preferences or devices – for example if the organization wants ‘jail broken devices’ within the ‘Teachers’ VLAN restricted from certain servers, they won’t be able to do – they will have to create a new VLAN assigned for jail broken devices No visibility and trouble shooting capabilities – making it very difficult for IT to track usage and performance, and provide exceptional support to their users. VLAN-based solutions typically lack the visibility to discover important network analytics such as: top bandwidth users based on time of the day; and number of iPhone vs. Android users No ability to identify users and their devices – what if I want to be able to type a user’s name and immediately identify their connected devices and their locations? Or what if I want the system to notify me as soon as a “lost” device shows up in the network? A VLAN-based solution is not capable of such functionalities No ability to integrate with other mobility products like VDI, MDM and Firewalls – means IT has less control on resource management False sense of security- a VLAN function is more like “the lines on the highway” that are supposed to separate drivers based on type of drivers (depending on how fast you are driving). However, they don’t prevent bad drivers from swerving off onto another lane or stream and causing a disaster We believe, the better alternative to a VLAN-based approach is to implement a solution based on centralized management through the use of distributed policy, where the whole network (wired and wireless, multiple VLANs, etc) can be easily monitored, automated and controlled – based on individual profile of each user and their devices, location, time of day, network access, etc. This is a Network IAM solution and the Enterasys solution is called Mobile IAM Part two of this blog series will explain why a Network IAM solution like the Enterasys Mobile IAM makes more sense for BYOD management If you would like to share and collaborate on topics like this and others that include BYOD, Wi-Fi, SDN and Enterprise Mobility, please follow @akafel and I will follow you back.
Occlusal and functional evaluations in adults: a case report. The findings on an adult patient with mandibular asymmetry and temporomandibular dysfunction are presented. The patient had four first premolars extracted earlier, followed by a short treatment attempt. Control of tongue function and jaw posture before, during, and after active treatment helped achieve a functional occlusion and a relief of the symptoms of the temporomandibular dysfunction. Specific diagnostic (assessment of occlusion and jaw movements) as well as therapeutic means (lower removable appliance and crown reshaping) are described.

Peripheral ulcerative keratitis in association with sarcoidosis. Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) is a sight-threatening condition characterized by an epithelial defect, crescent-shaped stromal inflammation, and progressive stromal thinning. Peripheral ulcerative keratitis as a purely inflammatory entity is most commonly associated with collagen vascular diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and relapsing polychondritis. PUK can also be associated with infectious and inflammatory conditions such as hepatitis, syphilis, herpes simplex keratitis, fungal keratitis, Mooren ulcer, and marginal keratitis. We describe a case report of PUK associated with the inflammatory condition of sarcoidosis.

Pseudo-outbreak of Mycobacterium chelonae and Methylobacterium mesophilicum caused by contamination of an automated endoscopy washer. To evaluate an unusual number of rapidly growing acid-fast bacilli, later identified as Mycobacterium chelonae, and pink bacteria, later identified as Methylobacterium mesophilicum, from fungal cultures obtained by bronchoscopy. Outbreak investigation. An academic medical center performing approximately 500 bronchoscopies and 4,000 gastrointestinal endoscopies in 1998. Patients undergoing bronchoscopy July 21 to October 2, 1998. The infection control department reviewed patient charts and bronchoscopy logs; obtained cultures of source water, faucets, washers, unopened glutaraldehyde, glutaraldehyde from the washers, and endoscopes; observed endoscope and bronchoscope cleaning and disinfecting procedures; reviewed glutaraldehyde monitoring records; and sent M. chelonae isolates for DNA fingerprinting. M. chelonae, M. mesophilicum, gram-negative bacteria, and various molds grew from endoscopes, automated washers, and glutaraldehyde from the washers but not from unopened glutaraldehyde. The endoscopy unit regularly monitored the pH of glutaraldehyde, and the logs contained no deficiencies. The above sources remained positive for the same organisms after a glutaraldehyde cleaning cycle of the automated washers. DNA finger-printing of the M. chelonae revealed that they were clonally related. The automated washers were contaminated with a biofilm that rendered them resistant to decontamination. The washers then contaminated the endoscopes and bronchoscopes they were used to disinfect. Our institution purchased new endoscopes and a new paracetic acid sterilization system.
Clinical usefulness of D-dimer depending on clinical probability and cutoff value in outpatients with suspected pulmonary embolism. We evaluated whether a highly sensitive D-dimer test is clinically useful and safe for ruling out pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with a high clinical probability and whether adopting different cutoff values according to the clinical probability category might increase the proportion of patients in whom PE is ruled out. We retrospectively analyzed the databases of 2 outcome studies on the diagnosis of PE with a 3-month follow-up that included 1409 patients. We evaluated the usefulness of D-dimer testing by calculating the number needed to test to rule out one PE, and its safety by measuring the 3-month thromboembolic risk in patients not treated by anticoagulant agents based on a normal D-dimer level. The sensitivity of D-dimer was 100% in all clinical probability categories, but the number needed to test increased with increasing clinical probability of PE. The 95% confidence interval (0%-23%) of the 3-month thromboembolic risk (0%) among 13 of 121 patients with a normal D-dimer level and a high clinical probability of PE was wide. Increasing the cutoff value to 700 mug/L in patients with a low clinical probability would rule out PE in an additional 5% of the entire patient cohort at the expense of a lower sensitivity (93% [95% confidence interval, 83%-97%]). The safety of D-dimer testing in patients with a high clinical probability of PE is not established, and testing results are rarely negative in such patients. Increasing the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay D-dimer cutoff value only marginally increased the test's usefulness.

[Treatment by urokinase of myocardial infarction and threatened infarction. Randomised study of 120 cases]. Two randomized series of 60 cases of myocardial infarction or menace syndrome have been treated at the acute stage, one by Heparin alone, the other by the combination Urokinase-Heparin. The average dosage was 300 mg Heparin in the first series, of 2,700,000 CTA units of Urokinase combined with 240 mg of Heparin in the second series. After the first 24 hours, equal heparinization was performed in both series up to the third week. Significantly different results were obtained in the two series. They favour Urokinase and concern: -- the disappearance time of pain, -- the course of the arrhythmias and of cardiac failure, -- the regression or limitation of the necrosis q waves and the lesion areas on the electrocardiogram. Finally the 30th-day overall mortality was 13% in the Heparin series and 3% in the myocardial infarction on the way of constitution, or which have done so for less than 24 hours.
Governor Says He’ll Respect Court’s Ruling, Unsure What That Will Mean Governor Pat McCrory‘s anti-LGBT law was just sideswiped by a Virginia lawsuit brought by a transgender teenaged boy. In a Title IX case the federal 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has just upheld the Obama administration’s position that discrimination against transgender people is sex discrimination. Since North Carolina is under the jurisdiction of the 4th Circuit court, its rulings apply to North Carolina, placing parts of HB2, namely, its ban on transgender people using the public restroom that complies with their gender identity, in jeopardy. Governor McCrory has just told reporters he will meet with attorneys to determine what, if any, implication the 4th Circuit’s ruling has on HB2. WRAL’s Mark Binker posted a photo of McCrory receiving the news about the 4th Circuit ruling. He also reported that McCrory “says he will respect 4th circuit ruling,” but added the governor is unsure of what the state’s response will be. #ncgov McCrory says he will respect 4th circuit ruling on Va transgender case, unsure of state’s specific response re: #hb2.#wral #ncga — mark binker (@binker) April 19, 2016 McCrory signed an amicus brief in the Virginia case opposing the transgender teen’s case. Many attorneys and legal experts, including North Carolina’s Attorney General, Roy Cooper, who is running against McCrory in the gubernatorial election, have said HB2 is unconstitutional.

Q: Access the Raspberry Pi image on the SD card I currently have an SD card with a non-running installation of Debian Squeeze. SSH on this card is enabled. However the system keeps rebooting. I would now like to delete the boot.rc file on the boot partition of the SD card from a Windows computer, but I fail. Here is the problem: I have a Windows pc with an internal card reader (the only card reader available at the moment). I enter the card and can access it and rename boot.rc or delete it. But when I remove the card and put it back again, the boot.rc is back again or has its old name back. Deleting other files on that image results in the same - no effect. I tried pulling it out of the reader without unmounting and unmounting via the taskbar in the lower right Windows corner. Could you please explain to me, how I can delete/rename boot.rc on the SD card with a Debian installation? Do I have to follow a special unmounting procedure? Right-clicking the SD card in Windows Explorer has a menu item "SG eject", but that shows no effect. A: This kind of "repairs" must be carried out under Linux, just because Windows is not reliable and generally too "invasive" for such things. As suggested in the other answer, a Linux LiveCD could be the fastest solution. My favorite LiveCD/USB distribution is Knoppix but DSL could be sufficient for you specific case. A similar solution (if you don't want to burn CDs or write USB pens) is to run a live distro inside a VM, giving to it the exclusive access to your card reader. For what concerns your specific problem, my guess is that Windows is mounting the SD card filesystem read-only. BTW, Windows can't access ext2/ext3 partitions directly, so if you used an ext2/ext3 driver such as IFS probably you forgot to set its RW permissions.
its really amazing! the ride is the same, but the best part is the new pre-show rooms! they have a peppers ghost effect, and it is like nothing i have ever seen before. you should check it out if you can! Disaster's grand opening was yesterday and Universal Studios held a fun press event to kick it off. Orlando Attractions Magazine was there with coverage of the whole thing. We've put a 10-minute video and a photo gallery online at http://www.attractionsmagazine.com featuring the whole opening ceremony, a bit of the pre-show and ride, and interviews with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and more. It's a fun update to the old attraction. The best parts are still there and the formerly-dull parts have been infused with comedy and enthusiasm. Hmmm... sorry Nate, haven't seen it... gonna probably be a while before I get over to Universal... I will probably pay for admission once everything is open and running -- I know people working on the other projects as well... I went on it earlier this month, like the first week of January, as part of a trip to Universal to get some "perspective" (I got Uni APs because I was getting burnt out on Disney). My thoughts, as best I recall them, meant to be constructive criticism if anything: 1. The exterior queue is interesting, I noticed the painted holes in the wall and such. It really could use firm railing. I don't know if that's the final queue or just a temporary setup, but the long periods between loads makes it really rough just standing in an open area mapped out by mesh fencing. Positive note: the faux set pieces were really interesting. 2. Pre Show 1: Nice, but cramped. That mini-stage could use better separation from the rest of the room because people end up on it accidentally and unwittingly. 3. Pre Show 2: I think preshow 2 is the pepper's ghost room. Impressive use of the effect, but tweaking the intensity of the image so it doesn't look so "ghostly" was needed when i saw it. Also, the audio from the projection was too low - making the live host spiels seems really loud. The interaction with the room was a very nice touch. 3. PreShow 3: I was a little bummed that the multi-level "Earthquake" set wasn't really utilized. Also, maybe more emphasis on when the clips filmed will be used? I left that area wondering when I'd see them again. Felt very rushed, but that might of been the host. 4. The ride: I like the show animation for the vehicles, i remember before thinking it was overly "choreographed" so all the vehicles did the same thing, so i like what it does now. It could just be me remembering it differently though. The transition tunnel effect doesn't work the way it used to. Those strips of light, etc.. just aren't looking right and before they used to be pretty effective. The final montage was very nice and surprising in how they combined the scenes. I didn't expect it, which is new for me I'm one of those people who figures out movie plots in the first 5 minute, so if you surprised me, you did a good job. I would say my biggest criticism is that the preshow where they film the audience feels rushed. I dont know if it was my live actor or what, but they were scrambling to get it all shot and then horde us out. I almost feel like the choosing of actors should be done there, with more time spent in that room, rather then before the peppers ghost room. Gave me enough time to forget that people were chosen and what for. All around, audio up please. I couldn't hear the peppers ghost sections very well and the guy who talks to you on the screens in the vehicles was too muted too. I'm not deaf, but i do have problems hearing amid noise - as i'm sure many other people do too. That's what stood out to me.. i didn't really notice much about the theaters, their size, etc.. or the lighting or anything, so obviously i was actually watching the show Props for that. I finally saw disaster a couple weeks ago...and yes that first preshow is really cramped...i really enjoyed the musion technology with christopher walken, seemed very realistic at times. nate was telling me that it looks best when he is against a black backdrop because otherwise it is vaguely transparent...you can sorta see the brick wall thru him in some shots, but still very good job on it. Is this a variation of peppers ghost or just a good projection system on some sort of scrim? I could see some seams in whatever it was projected on, but not that noticeable to general public. Actually, a musion pepper's ghost doesn't look best against a black backdrop. In order for Chris Walken to look like he's not just floating in space, it's better to place him in front of a dark color like a dark blue or purple. oops, i must have misunderstood...but is the reflective screen angled out towards the audience? i am assuming that they project him on a screen on the floor and then that is reflected off an angled surface that the audience sees.
About I turned 27 this year, and since my mom and sister were in Berlin for my birthday, I told them to help me with something important: fill a jar with post-it notes of daily tasks that will help me conquer my fears, do things that are out of the ordinary, and make me be nicer to people. Things haven’t been easy leading up to that day. I’ve never felt more afraid of rejection, I’ve never felt more disconnected from real people because of technology, and I’ve never felt so detached from myself. My anxiety has been so bad most mornings, that I’ve often contemplated ways of forcing food poisoning or other freak illnesses upon myself to avoid walking out into the world. I have it so freaking good, yet I find myself paralyzed by these demons so much of the time. That got me thinking, inactivity is just going to exacerbate these feelings, but a little jar with daily tasks to spice my days up a bit can only get me closer to my true purpose on this bitch of a planet. I am convinced that the path to happiness and purpose is living a daily existence and balance of KINDNESS, SPONTANEITY, and CONQUERING FEARS. The Jar Project is a daily reminder to open up your world to these three aspects, and do something atypical on the daily; for it is these uncomfortable moments and periods of reflection that will help us reconnect and grow as a human race. Go ahead and pick something out of the jar. Record it, document it, and tomorrow, pick something new. Just think of what a year or lifetime of kindness, spontaneity, and conquering fears can do to you.
President Obama telegraphed his campaign's reversal on superPAC funding during an interview aired Monday with NBC's Matt Lauer. NBC "Today" show screenshot Listen Listening... / Originally published on August 7, 2012 2:41 pm The late conservative writer William F. Buckley Jr. once said that "idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive." That seems to be the political calculation being made by President Obama and his campaign team when it comes to opposing superPACs. Team Obama reversed course late Monday when campaign manager Jim Messina urged donors to help pro-Obama superPACs raise supermoney, and said administration officials will be free to help with the fundraising. The math was an apparent wake-up call for Democrats: Priorities USA Action, which was founded by two former Obama aides, pulled in just $4.4 million last year, while the superPAC supporting GOP front-runner Mitt Romney raked in nearly $18 million. More broadly, new fundraising reports show pro-Republican superPACs have pulled well ahead of those supporting Democrats. The biggest GOP groups raised more than $50 million last year, while Democratic groups — including Priorities USA — garnered less than $20 million. Obama's campaign had formerly kept Priorities USA at a distance as the president himself railed against the superPAC establishment. The climb down from that perch has been a steep one. Days after the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision that abolished some limits on campaign donations, Obama said in his State of the Union address — as the black-robed justices looked on — that the ruling had "reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections." Six months later, as Obama pushed a bill that would have barred foreign funding in federal elections and firmed up disclosure requirements, he was even more explicit in his opposition, saying the court's ruling allowed the purchase of millions of dollars in political TV ads with no disclosure on who was paying for them. "Now, imagine the power this will give special interests over politicians," he said. "Corporate lobbyists will be able to tell members of Congress if they don't vote the right way, they will face an onslaught of negative ads in their next campaign. And all too often, no one will actually know who's really behind those ads." But Monday's missive from Messina said Democrats couldn't afford to "unilaterally disarm" as the GOP nominee enjoyed the fruits of unlimited spending. "Therefore," he wrote, "the campaign has decided to do what we can, consistent with the law, to support Priorities USA in its effort to counter the weight of the GOP Super PAC." Obama himself laid the groundwork for the reversal during an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer that aired earlier Monday. "If you ask me, would I love to take some of the big money out of politics, I would," the president said. "Unfortunately, right now, partly because of Supreme Court rulings and a bunch of decisions out there, it is very hard to be able to get your message out without having some resources." In the end, there was essentially zero political upside to standing on principle and not trying to maximize campaign cash, says Thomas Mann, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "It was inevitable," he says. "As we begin to see the Romney general election take shape and the willingness of donors to contribute in denominations of millions of dollars to that effort, you can't ignore that reality. "I would say this is all about pragmatism and political expediency." While the superPAC about-face opens the president up to accusations of hypocrisy, it's more likely to hurt him with Democrats than Republicans, says Nathaniel Persily, a Columbia University professor who specializes in election law. "It's not that [Obama] will pay a price from his Republican rivals, but that the good-government groups that otherwise support Obama might be uncomfortable with this." Updated 3:15 p.m. On Tuesday's All Things Considered, NPR's Peter Overby also notes that good-government groups have found "a bright spot" in the Obama campaign's statement that the president would back a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. "There is this self-loathing relationship that Democrats seem to have with outside independent activity that has got to have an impact ... on donor attitudes," says Steven Law, head of American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, organizations founded by GOP strategist Karl Rove. The groups spent millions last year attacking Obama's policies. As Overby notes, "it's those attitudes that the Obama campaign hopes to reverse, just nine months out from the election."

AUDIE CORNISH, HOST: And I'm Audie Cornish. President Obama and his re-election team have reversed course. They're now encouraging big donors to finance a pro-Obama superPAC. The president has, up to now, scorned the unregulated money that superPACs have been able to raise since 2010 and the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. NPR's Peter Overby reports that the change came in response to conservative groups raising tens of millions of dollars for the presidential election. PETER OVERBY, BYLINE: Ben LaBolt, the Obama campaign's press secretary, said the campaign couldn't fight a battle with two sets of rules. BEN LABOLT: In which the Republican nominee benefits from unlimited spending, and Democrats unilaterally disarm. OVERBY: He took a swipe at two conservatives in particular, billionaires David and Charles Koch. They've been rallying other wealthy donors for an anti-Obama effort. LABOLT: We can't allow oil billionaires to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on TV attacking the president so that they can maintain their tax breaks and their subsidies for themselves. OVERBY: One group supported by the Kochs, the Tax Exempt Americans for Prosperity, ran nearly $6 million worth of TV ads in 2011. And serious money also flows to the superPACs in multiples of 500,000 or a million dollars from the wealthy, corporations and unions. But the pro-Obama PAC hasn't been a player. Last year, Priorities USA Action raised just $4.4 million. Two-thirds of the cash came from two donors, film producer Jeffrey Katzenberg and the Service Employees International Union. But the rules that keep campaigns and superPACS from coordinating their ads don't apply to the fundraising side and now, the Obama campaign's finance team is free to help Priorities USA Action. Administration officials are being called on as well although the president, vice president, and their wives will keep their distance. Again, Ben LaBolt. LABOLT: Let me be very clear on what campaign officials and White House officials and Cabinet officials will be doing. They will not be soliciting funds. They'll solely be expressing support for the Priorities superPAC and its mission, which is to re-elect the president. OVERBY: Pragmatic as it may be to embrace the superPAC, it runs counter to a position that President Obama took in 2010. That was when he blasted the Citizens United decision. It came in a State of the Union address, with several Supreme Court justices sitting there just weeks after they had handed down the ruling. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED BROADCAST) PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people. OVERBY: Mr. Obama is a longtime advocate of tighter rules for political money, but four years ago, he rejected public financing, the first major party nominee ever to do so. His would-be allies in the reform fight today expressed disappointment. DAVID DONNELLY: We think this was an inevitable move, although not a great one. OVERBY: David Donnelly is director of the Public Campaign Action Fund. DONNELLY: I think President Obama's record on reform issues has fallen short from the rhetoric that he laid out in his campaign in 2008. There's no question about that. OVERBY: The good government groups did find a bright spot. The campaign says Mr. Obama would back a constitutional amendment, quote, "if need be," unquote, to undo Citizens United. At the campaign, Ben LaBolt says grassroots supporters want a superPAC to counter big spending conservative groups. But here's another question. Will the wealthy donors deliver? At least one fundraising expert is skeptical. Steven Law is head of American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, organizations co-founded by GOP strategist Karl Rove. Crossroads GPS spent millions last year attacking Mr. Obama's policies. Law said this in an interview last week. STEVEN LAW: There is this self-loathing relationship that Democrats seem to have with outside independent activity that has got to have an impact, I think, on donor attitudes. OVERBY: And it's those attitudes that the Obama campaign hopes to reverse just nine months out from the election. Peter Overby, NPR News, Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Q: Oracle subquery does not see the variable from the outer block 2 levels up I'd like to get in one query a post and the first comment associated with the post. Here is how I do it in PostgreSQL: SELECT p.post_id, (select * from (select comment_body from comments where post_id = p.post_id order by created_date asc) where rownum=1 ) the_first_comment FROM posts p and it works fine. However, in Oracle I'm getting an error ORA-00904 p.post_id: invalid identifier. It seems to work fine for one subselect, but I cannot get the comment with only one due to the fact that I need to use rownum (no limit / offset in Oracle). What am I doing wrong here? A: No, Oracle doesn't correlate the subqueries nested more than one level deep (and neither does MySQL). This is a well-known problem. Use this: SELECT p.post_id, c.* FROM posts JOIN ( SELECT c.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY post_id ORDER BY created_date ASC) AS rn FROM comments c ) c ON c.post_id = p.post_id AND rn = 1 A: If you need SQL that is platform-independent, this will work: SELECT p.post_id , c.comment_body FROM posts p , comments c WHERE p.post_id = c.post_id AND c.created_date IN ( SELECT MIN(c2.created_date) FROM comments c2 WHERE c2.post_id = p.post_id ); But it assumes that (post_id, created_date) is the primary key of comments. If it isn't, you're going to get more than one line posts that have comments with the same created_date. Also, it is likely to be slower than the solution that uses analytics, given by Quassnoi.

Managed care organizations (MCOs) are the predominant form of health care in most parts of the United States. A variety of strategies have been used by MCOs to contain escalating drug expenditures and to improve the quality of medication use. Drs. Steven Soumerai and Dennis Ross-Degnan of the DACP conducted a systematic review of studies that examined the effectiveness of interventions targeting medication use in the US managed care setting published prior to June 2001. This review was published in the American Journal of Managed Care. Key tools and intervention techniques that were identified in the review were also made available with the permission of the original study authors on the website of America’s Health Insurance Plans at http://www.ahip.org/content/default.aspx?bc=38|77|529. Drs Soumerai and Ross-Degnan, working with visiting international fellow Christine Lu, have recently updated the systematic review to include published studies of interventions targeting medication use in the US managed care setting from July 2001 through January 2007. The current review identified two additional intervention types, namely computerized monitoring and collaborative care involving pharmacists. In addition, we have also reported formulary-related interventions (which were excluded in the previous review as there were too few to draw valid conclusions). We found a number of consistently effective interventions including one-to-one academic detailing, computerized alerts and reminders, pharmacist-led collaborative care, and multifaceted disease management. Further, changes in formulary tier-design and related increases in co-payments were associated with reductions in medication use and increased spending by patients. The dissemination of educational materials alone had little or no impact, while group education showed mixed results. Little is known about the cost-effectiveness and long-term outcomes of these interventions. Importantly, few well-designed, published studies have assessed the safety of formulary-related interventions despite their widespread use. However, some evidence suggests that increases in cost sharing reduce access to essential medicines for chronic illness. We have documented this critical review of the recent literature in the form of a manuscript submitted for consideration for publication.

Brückel' title: 'Magnetic structure of superconducting Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ as revealed by single-crystal neutron diffraction' --- Introduction ============ Since the discovery of Fe-pnictide superconductors in 2008,[@kamihara_08] a great deal of attention has been given to the investigation and understanding of the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in these new materials.[@johnston_10; @lumsden_10; @dai_12] The parent compounds of Fe-pnictides undergo a structural phase transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic, accompanied [@huang_08] or followed [@Cruz_08] by an antiferromagnetic spin-density-wave (SDW) transition. Superconductivity can be induced by doping the parent compounds with charge carriers, [@rotter_08; @sefat_08] or by applying the hydrostatic or internal chemical pressure. [@torikachvili_08; @ren_EuP_09] Meanwhile, both magnetic order and structural distortion are suppressed. Although this is a general tendency common for different compounds, the structural and physical behavior near the phase boundary between the antiferromagnetic (AFM) and the superconducting (SC) phases is complex and material specific. For some compounds such as CeFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$, the AFM and the SC phases seem mutually exclusive.[@zhao_08] However, in some other materials like Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~, the AFM and the SC phases coexist and compete with each other.[@pratt_09; @Christianson_09] The proximity between SC and AFM resembles that in cuprates and heavy fermion systems, suggesting that the SC in the Fe-pnictide is also unconventional and that magnetism might play a role in the underlying mechanism. EuFe~2~As~2~ is a unique member of the ternary iron arsenide $A$Fe~2~As~2~ (122, $A$=Alkaline earth or rare-earth) family, since the $A$ site is occupied by an *S*-state (orbital moment $L$ = 0) rare-earth Eu^2+^ possessing a 4*f*^7^ electronic configuration with an electron spin *S* = 7/2, corresponding to a theoretical effective magnetic moment of 7.94 $\mu_{B}$.[@marchand_78] Interestingly, it was found that both magnetic sublattices in the unit cell, Fe and Eu layers, order antiferromagnetically below 190 K and 19 K, respectively.[@raffius_93; @ren_EuFeAs08; @jeevan_EuFeAs08] Further studies using magnetic resonant x-ray scattering [@Herrero-Martin_09] and neutron diffraction [@Xiao_09] confirmed that the AFM of Eu^2+^ spins is of A-type, i.e., ferromagnetic layers with the Eu^2+^ moments aligned along the *a*-axis order antiferromagnetically along the *c*-direction. The Fe^2+^ moments were revealed to order antiferromagnetically along the orthorhombic *a*-axis. Similar to other Fe-pnictides, superconductivity can be achieved in the EuFe~2~As~2~ family by chemical substitution at different sites [@ren_EuP_09; @jeevan_EuK08; @jiang_09; @jiao_EPL09] or by application of external pressure.[@Miclea_09] It is well established that in the doped-EuFe~2~As~2~ system, similar to other doped-122 families, the SDW order of the Fe^2+^ moments gets gradually suppressed with an increase of the doping level, [@jeevan_EuK08; @jeevan_EuP11; @Ren_EuNi09; @Blachowski_11; @zhang_EuLa12; @jiao_EuRu12] in favor of the occurrence of SC. The Fe-SDW order is suppressed [@jeevan_EuK08; @jeevan_EuP11; @Ren_EuNi09] or coexists with the SC within a certain doping regime [@Blachowski_11; @zhang_EuLa12; @jiao_EuRu12] depending on the dopants. Moreover, the Fe-SDW order and the orthorhombic distortion exhibit very weak coupling with the magnetic order of Eu^2+^ spins based on the result from the undoped EuFe~2~As~2~ parent compound.[@Xiao_09] However, the evolution of the magnetic ordering of Eu^2+^ spins with increasing doping level and its interplay with the SC is still not completely clarified. For EuFe~2~(As$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$)~2~ with isovalent P doping on the As site, it is generally recognized that the magnetic moments of Eu^2+^ evolve from the A-type AFM order at low doping level, to the ferromagnetic order at high doping level, although the magnetic structure of Eu^2+^ spins in the superconducting region of the phase diagram is quite controversial.[@jeevan_EuP11; @cao_11; @zapf_11] Recently, by combination of magnetization, specific heat and magnetic resonant x-ray scattering measurements, we conclude that in an EuFe~2~(As$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$)~2~ single crystal with $x$ = 0.15, the Eu^2+^ magnetic moments order ferromagnetically primarily along the *c*-axis and the ferromagnetism (FM) coexists with bulk SC. [@nandi_13] However, for Eu(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~ , so far there is still no clear picture regarding how the magnetic ordering of the Eu^2+^ spins develops with increasing Co concentration and it is even more controversial compared with the P-doped case. For instance, there exist several different proposals for the magnetic ordering of Eu^2+^ around 10% Co concentration including the in-plane helical structure [@jiang_09] and the canted structure with a ferromagnetic component in the *a-b* plane [@guguchia_11] or along the *c* direction. [@nowik_11] To our knowledge, for Eu(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~, direct microscopic determination of the magnetic structure under zero magnetic field is still lacking. The neutron diffraction technique stands out due to its ability to probe the bulk and the high accuracy in determining both nuclear and magnetic structures. However, neutron experiments on Eu-containing materials are difficult and challenging due to the large neutron absorption cross section of Eu. Nevertheless, by significant reduction of the absorption effect using short-wavelength neutrons, such experiments prove feasible for a crystal of good quality. Here we present the results of our neutron diffraction measurements on a high-quality superconducting Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ single crystal, which indicate unambiguously that the Eu^2+^ moments are long-range ferromagnetically ordered, oriented purely along the *c*-axis. Surprisingly, very weak magnetic reflections arising from the remaining antiferromagnetism of the Fe moments are also observed. Therefore, it is revealed that both the Eu-FM and the Fe-SDW coexist with the SC in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~. Experimental Details ==================== Single crystals of Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ were grown out of Sn flux. [@Guguchia_11_NMR] The chemical composition of this batch was determined by wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS). X-ray Laue diffraction confirmed the high quality of the crystals with the *c*-axis perpendicular to their surfaces. A 100 mg platelet-like single crystal with dimensions \~5$\times$5$\times$1.5 mm^3^ was selected for neutron diffraction measurements, which were carried out on the thermal-neutron four-circle diffractometer TriCS [@schefer_00] at the Swiss Spallation Source (SINQ). The single-crystal sample was mounted on an aluminum sample holder with a small amount of GE varnish. The sample holder was then mounted inside a small Al-can filled with Helium exchange gas, allowing it to reach a base temperature of 4.5 K. A Ge (3 1 1) monochromator was chosen to produce a monochromatic neutron beam with the wavelength of 1.178 $\buildrel_\circ \over {\mathrm{A}}$, for which the neutron absorption cross-section of Eu is 2965 barn. The diffracted neutron beam was collected with a ^3^He single detector. In order to determine the nuclear and magnetic structure, the integrated intensities of 348 reflections at 4.5 K and 330 reflections at 25 K (above the magnetic ordering temperature of the Eu^2+^ moments) were collected for refinements without a collimator in front of the detector. For the measurements of the weak reflections, the temperature dependencies, and the Q-scans, a collimation of 40 in front of the detector was installed to suppress background. The obtained reflection sets at both temperatures were normalized to the monitor and corrected for the Lorentz factor. DATAP program was used for the absorption correction by considering the size and shape of the crystal.[@coppens_65] Refinement of both nuclear and magnetic structures was carried out using the FULLPROF program suit.[@Rodriguez_93] For macroscopic characterizations, a small plate-like crystal of 9.4 mg from the same batch was chosen. The resistivity and magnetization were measured using a Quantum Design physical property measurement system (PPMS) and a Quantum Design magnetic property measurement system (MPMS), respectively. Results and discussion ====================== ![The temperature dependence of the in-plane electrical resistivity of Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~. The blue solid line is the linear fitting of the high-$T$ resistivity and $T_{S}$ marks the temperature where experiment starts to deviate from the linear behavior. $T_{C}$ and $T_{SC}$ denote the magnetic ordering temperature of the Eu^2+^ moments and the superconducting transition temperature, respectively. The two insets give an enlarged illustration of the *R-T* curve around $T_{SC}$ and $T_{C}$, respectively.](Fig1) The temperature dependence of the in-plane electrical resistivity of the Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ single crystal is shown in Figure 1. The resistivity descends smoothly with decreasing temperature, reflecting its metallic behavior. Above 90 K, the resistivity exhibits a linear temperature dependence. The slope of *R-T* curve changes below 90 K and a pronounced kink emerges there, probably corresponding to the change in Fermi surface nesting features due to the structural distortion, as in all other Fe-pnictides. We denote 90 K as $T_{S}$ since it coincides with the structural phase transition temperature determined by neutron measurements. Around 17 K (denoted as $T_{C}$), another kink appears, which is clearer as shown in the right inset of Fig. 1, corresponding to the magnetic ordering of the Eu^2+^ spins. This is similar to the reentrant resistivity reported in Ref. and , but here it is due to the ferromagnetic ordering of Eu^2+^ moments as evidenced by our neutron data, which will be presented below. Below 8 K (denoted as $T_{SC}$), the resistivity drops sharply and finally a zero-resistivity superconducting state (less than $10^{-8}$ $\Omega\cdot m^{-1}$) is achieved below 4 K, as illustrated in the left inset of Fig. 1.The SC transition in Co-doped EuFe~2~As~2~ is usually more susceptible to the adverse effect of the Eu-magnetic ordering and zero resistivity is only realized within a quite narrow Co-concentration window around 20%.[@Blachowski_11] The *R-T* behavior here is very similar to that reported by Tran *et al.* on a single crystal with a similar composition Eu(Fe~0.81~Co~0.19~)~2~As~2~, [@tran_12] in which also multiple phase transitions with comparable transition temperatures were found. ![The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ measured in an applied field of 30 Oe along the *c*-direction in ZFC and FC process, respectively. The inset is the enlarged illustration of the ZFC and FC curves around $T_{SC}$.](Fig2) Figure 2 shows the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility ($\chi$) for the Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ single crystal below 50 K under an applied field of 30 Oe along the *c*-direction. A bifurcation between zero-field-cooling (ZFC) and field-cooling (FC) curves develops below 17 K, indicating the emergence of a FM ordered state. Upon further cooling, a sudden drop around 8 K occurs for the ZFC curve, which results from the diamagnetic response of the SC transition. However, negative susceptibility is not achieved due to the small superconducting volume and the dominance of the Eu-FM over the SC. No obvious Meissner effect is detected below 8 K by the FC measurement, similar to the case in Eu(Fe$_{0.88}$Ir$_{0.12}$)~2~As~2~, ascribing to the strong internal field induced by the Eu-FM. [@Jiao_13] The anomaly in susceptibility due to the Fe-SDW transition around $T_{S}$ is hardly observed (not shown here) due to the small size of the Fe moments, even after subtracting the Curie-Weiss contribution of the Eu^2+^ moments. Hinted by the kink around 90 K in the *R-T* curve in Fig. 1, it seems that Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ also undergoes a structural phase transition from tetragonal (space group *I4/mmm*) to orthorhombic (*Fmmm*) while cooling, similar to the parent compound EuFe~2~As~2~. Here we present evidence for the occurrence of the structural phase transition in this compound from our neutron data. Figure 3(a) illustrates the rocking curve scans ($\omega$ scans) of the (-4 0 0)/(0 -4 0) reflection at 120 K, 85 K and 5 K, respectively. This corresponds to the (-2 2 0)~$T$~ reflection in tetragonal notation. For convenience, we use the orthorhombic notation with the shortest axis defined as *b* throughout this paper. The mosaic width of less than 0.3 confirms the good quality of the crystal. Upon cooling, the splitting of this peak into two distinct peaks could not be resolved due to limited instrumental resolution and the intrinsically small orthorhombic distortion. However, the structural phase transition indeed occurs based on the temperature dependencies of both the integrated intensity and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the (-4 0 0)/(0 -4 0) peak, as shown in Fig. 3(b) and Fig. 3(c), respectively. The rapid increase of the intensity and broadening of the width of (-4 0 0)/(0 -4 0) peak below 90 K reflect the structural change from the tetragonal phase to the orthorhombic phase. This is similar to the observation in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~ reported by Lester *et al*.,[@lester_09] where no orthorhombic splitting was resolved but an obvious kink at $T_{S}$ was observed in the temperature dependence of the integrated intensity of the (2 2 0)~T~ peak. The structural transition temperature $T_{S}$ determined here is in good agreement with that shown in the resistivity measurement, being around 90 K. ![(a) The rocking curve scans ($\omega$ scans) of (-4 0 0)/(0 -4 0) reflection at 120 K, 85 K and 5 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the integrated intensity (b) and the peak width (FWHM) (c) of (-4 0 0)/(0 -4 0) peak both show a kink around $T_{S}$ = 90 K (marked by the blue vertical dashed line) corresponding to the tetragonal-orthorhombic structural phase transition.](Fig3) Fig. 4(a) and Fig. 4(b) show the comparison of the (-2 0 0) and (1 1 1) peaks between 4.5 K and 25 K. Both are very weak nuclear reflections at 25 K which is above the magnetic ordering temperature of the Eu^2+^ moments. Upon cooling, the magnetic contribution from the Eu^2+^ magnetic ordering develops on top of the nuclear part. At 4.5 K, both the (-2 0 0) and (1 1 1) peak become extremely strong, indicating a large ferromagnetic component from the Eu^2+^ moments perpendicular to the scattering vectors. The obvious difference of the (-2 0 2) peak between 4.5 K and 25 K (Fig. 4(c)) also suggests a ferromagnetic contribution, although its nuclear part is quite strong. On the other hand, the (0 0 2), (0 0 4) and (0 0 8) peaks show no discernible difference between the two temperatures(Fig. 4(d-f)), suggesting a very small or even absent in-plane ferromagnetic component of the Eu^2+^ magnetic moment. Hence we can conclude that the ferromagnetic component of the Eu^2+^ moments lies in *c* direction within our experimental accuracy. Fig. 4(g) illustrates the temperature dependencies of the integrated intensities of the (-2 0 0), (1 1 1) and (-2 0 2) peaks. The net increase on top of the nuclear contribution upon cooling represents the order parameter of the ferromagnetic transition, which can be well fitted by a power law $I-I_{0}\varpropto(1-T/T_{C})^{2\beta}$, yielding the transition temperature $T_{C}$ = 16.9(2) K and the exponent $\beta$ = 0.35(2). $T_{C}$ determined here is also in good agreement with the results from resistivity and magnetization measurements. The exponent $\beta$ is similar to that of the incommensurate antiferromagnetic ordering of the Eu^2+^ moments in EuRh~2~As~2~ ($\beta$ = 0.32 $\pm$ 0.02).[@nandi_09] Both exponents are close to the critical exponent of the three-dimensional classical Heisenberg model ($\beta$ = 0.36), typical for the rare-earth elements in intermetallic compounds.[@Brueckel_01] However, here the power law refinement holds over an unusual wide temperature range (down to 7 K when the order parameter tends to saturate), well outside the usual critical region. In addition, no evident anomaly is observed around the superconducting temperature $T_{SC}$ (\~8 K) in the temperature dependence of the Eu-FM order parameter as shown in Fig. 4(g). However, considering the small superconducting volume in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ as shown in the magnetic susceptibility measurement, it is difficult to conclude about the interplay between superconductivity and Eu-FM. ![Comparison of (a) (-2 0 0), (b) (1 1 1), (c) (-2 0 2), (d) (0 0 2), (e) (0 0 4) and (f) (0 0 8) reflections between 4.5 K and 25 K, which unambiguously indicates a ferromagnetic ordering of the Eu^2+^ moments along the c-direction below the magnetic ordering temperature $T_{C}$.(g) The temperature dependencies of the integrated intensities of the (-2 0 0), (1 1 1) and (-2 0 2) reflections.

It is quite clear that the magnetic reflections do not appear at the (0 0 3), (-2 0 3), (1 1 0) and (1 1 2) positions corresponding to a possible antiferromagnetic ordering of the Eu^2+^ moments at the base temperature in the parent compound. Instead, the magnetic reflections superimpose on the nuclear peaks in both planes, indicating a magnetic propagation vector **k** = (0 0 0), consistent with the ferromagnetic ordering of the Eu^2+^ spins. No incommensurate reflections are observed in either plane, excluding the possibility of a helical arrangement of the Eu^2+^ moments in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~. ![Two-dimensional Q-scans at T = 4.5 K in (a) (H 0 L) plane and (b) (H H L) plane, indicating a magnetic propagation vector **k** = (0 0 0) and excluding the possibility of both the antiferromagnetic or the helical magnetic ordering for the Eu^2+^ moments in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~.

The intensity is shown in logarithmic scale. The magnetic reflection of the Fe moments at (-1 0 3) could not be observed here due to the short counting time.](Fig5b "fig:") Aside from the convincing evidences for the Eu-FM magnetic ordering, very weak magnetic reflections of the Fe^2+^ moments were also observed in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ . This is quite suprising since this composition is already at a high Co concentration level as 18%. However, the existence of a structural phase transition in this sample indicates the possibility to observe the Fe-SDW ordering since both follow each other. As shown in Fig. 6(a), at 4.5 K, a set of magnetic peaks appears at Q = (1 2 1), (1 0 3) and (1 0 5), respectively, with a propagatition vector **$\mathsf{\mathbf{k}}$** = (1 0 1), corresponding to the antiferromagnetic alignment of the Fe^2+^ moments along the *a* axis, similar to that of the parent compound. The peak profiles of the (1 2 1) reflection at different temperatures are shown in Fig. 6(b). The peak is present below 70 K. Due to the extreme weakness of the magnetic reflections from ordering of the Fe sublattice, the temperature dependence of the peak intensity instead of the integrated intensity of the (1 2 1) reflection was measured and shown in Fig. 6(c). The peak intensity starts to increase below 70 K (denoted as SDW-ordering temperature $T_{N}$) and reaches a maximum around the superconducting transition temperature $(T_{SC}$), which is consistent with the well-established behavior of the order parameter of the Fe-SDW ordering due to its competion with SC. However, based on the limited statistics of our data, it is hard to conclude upon the presence or absence of a possible interplay between the Fe-SDW and the Eu-FM in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ . According to the integrated intensities of three obtained Fe-magnetic reflections shown in Fig. 6(a), the size of the Fe^2+^ moment is roughly estimated to be \~ 0.15(1) $\mu_{B}$, strongly suppressed compared to 0.98(8) $\mu_{B}$ in the parent compound. [@Xiao_09] Thus, the Co-doping suppresses both the SDW-ordering temperature and the moment size of Fe, while the moment direction of Fe is most likely unchanged although *a* and *b* can’t be resolved in the present case. The coexistence and competition between the Fe-SDW and the SC in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ resembles that in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~, [@pratt_09; @Christianson_09] suggesting an important role of magnetism. ![(a) The magnetic reflections at 4.5 K arsing from the SDW ordering of the Fe moments.

We use the same value for lattice constant **$a$** and **$b$** since the orthorhombic splitting is too small to be resolved. The results of the refinements are listed in Table 1.The nuclear structure in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ shows no evident difference between 4.5 K and 25 K, and the reflection set of 4.5 K could be well fitted when adding a ferromagnetic Eu^2+^-moment of 6.2 $\mu_{B}$ purely along the *c*-direction.

The occupancies of Fe and Co atoms are fixed to 82% and 18%, respectively, according to the chemical composition determined from WDS. (Space group: $Fmmm$) The magnetic structure of Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ at 4.5 K is plotted and compared with that of the parent compound EuFe~2~As~2~ in Fig.7. The moment direction of Eu^2+^ flops from the *a* direction in the parent compound to the *c* direction upon 18% Co-doping into the Fe site, with the magnetic ordering pattern developing from the A-type AFM to the pure FM. This is in agreement with the spin reorientation observed by Mössbauer spectroscopy from the *a*-axis towards the *c*-axis in the *a-c* plane with increasing substitution of Fe by Co in Eu(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~,[@Blachowski_11] and also similar to the ferromagnetic ordering of Eu^2+^ moment along the *c*-direction determined recently by resonant magnetic x-ray scattering in EuFe(As~0.85~P~0.15~)~2~ [@nandi_13]. The moment size of Eu^2+^ in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~($\sim(6.2\pm0.1)$ $\mu_{B})$ determined here is smaller than that of the parent compound EuFe~2~As~2~ ($\sim(6.7\pm0.1)$ $\mu_{B})$, suggesting the possible existence of some non-magnetic trivalent Eu^3+^at a high doping level of Co, consistent with the report from the Mössbauer study in the Eu(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~ compounds. [@Blachowski_11] The magnetic ordering temperature of the Eu^2+^ spins is slightly suppressed from $T_{N}$ = 19 K for the parent compound to $T_{C}$ = 17 K with $x$ = 0.18. The *c*-direction FM ordering of Eu^2+^ presented here contrasts with the canted-AFM ordering with an easy *a-b* plane proposed by Tran *et al.* in a single crystal with similar Co-concentration $x$ = 0.19 based on pure macroscopic measurements. [@tran_12] The microspopic bulk probe of neutron diffraction in our study, nevertheless, provides convincing evidence for the ferromagnetic ordering of the Eu^2+^ moments. Regarding the magnetic structure of the Fe sublattice, the moment size of Fe is significantly suppressed, from 0.98(8) $\mu_{B}$ in the parent compound to \~ 0.15(1) $\mu_{B}$ with $x$ = 0.18, while probably keeping the moment direction of Fe unchanged with the Co-doping. ![The magnetic structure of (a) Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ and (b) the parent compound EuFe~2~As~2~ at base temperature. ](Fig7a "fig:")![The magnetic structure of (a) Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ and (b) the parent compound EuFe~2~As~2~ at base temperature. ](Fig7b "fig:") Based on all the results above, we come to two important conclusions. First, the Eu^2+^ moments exhibit a long-range ferromagnetic ordering in the superconducting Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ crystal. This proves to be a common feature for a number of doped EuFe~2~As~2~ compounds with superconductivity, for instance, with P-doping, [@ren_EuP_09; @nandi_13] Ru-doping, [@jiao_EPL09; @jiao_EuRu12] and Co-doping presented here. Due to the small superconducting volume in the crystal and the dominance of the Eu-FM, it is difficult to conclude about the interplay between the SC and the Eu-FM in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ . [@jiao_EPL09] Second, the Fe-SDW and the SC coexist and compete with each other in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ . Although it is already at a high doping level with a $T_{SC}$ = 8 K, the antiferromagnetism from the Fe-SDW as well as the structural phase transtition still survive. Both the structural phase transition ($T_{S}$ = 90 K) and the Fe-SDW phase transition ($T_{N}$ = 70 K) are significantly suppressed compared to the parent compound EuFe~2~As~2~, but splitted by 20 K, similar to the observation in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~.[@pratt_09; @Christianson_09] This interplay between these two order parameters is already well studied in other “122” families and attributed to the competition for the shared electronic denisty of states common to both Fermi surface gaps caused by the Fe-SDW and the SC. Moreover, the critical point at which the Fe-SDW is completely suppressed in Eu(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~ (possibly larger than $x$ = 0.2) is considerable higher than that in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~ ($x$ $\thickapprox$ 0.065) [@pratt_09], indicating a considerable influence of the rare-earth element Eu on the magnetism of Fe sublattice. Conclusion ========== In summary, the magnetic structure of superconducting Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ is unambiguously determined by single crystal neutron diffraction. A long-range ferromagnetic order of the Eu^2+^ moments along the c-axis is revealed below the magnetic transition temperature $T_{C}$ = 17 K. No incommensurate magnetic reflections corresponding to the helical arrangement of the Eu^2+^ spins is observed for this crystal. In addition, the antiferromagnetism of the Fe^2+^ moments still survives as does the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural phase transition, although the transition temperatures of the Fe-spin density wave (SDW) order and the structural phase transition are significantly suppressed to $T_{N}$ = 70 K and $T_{S}$ = 90 K, respectively, compared to the parent compound EuFe~2~As~2~. We present the microscopic evidence for the coexistence of the Eu-FM and the Fe-SDW in the superconducting crystal, which is quite rare and unusual. The SC competes with the Fe-SDW in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2~ , similar to the behavior found in the Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~. However, due to the small superconducting volume in the crystal and the dominance of the Eu-FM, it is difficult to conclude about the interplay between the SC and the Eu-FM in Eu(Fe~0.82~Co~0.18~)~2~As~2.~ Moreover, the critical point at which the Fe-SDW is completely suppressed in Eu(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~ is considerable higher than in Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)~2~As~2~, indicating a considerable influence of the rare-earth element Eu on the magnetism of Fe sublattice.

The dual magazine UTS-15 shotgun has finally been given a MSRP: $1500. Production has begun and the first guns should ship later this month or early next month. From the press release … UTAS’ Director of U.S. Operations, Matt Guzeldere stated today, “We’ve been working with UTAS Makine, Ltd. the Turkish company that developed the UTS-15, to set up American manufacturing for quite sometime. It has been a difficult process that required building a lot of duplicate and expensive tooling, such as polymer injection molds. We have a license agreement, all of the tooling in place and have started producing parts. Of course we’ll be training personnel, running the first guns through product qualification tests and ramping up production, so we’re anticipating delivering the first American made UTS-15’s in late May or early June. ” The UTS-15 tactical 12 ga. pump shotgun is a patented, ground-up design utilizing fiber reinforced polymers for over 85% of its parts and is the first such firearm to have the receiver molded completely from polymer. At only 28.5” in overall length and weighing only 6.9 lbs, but with top-mounted alternately feeding magazines providing a total capacity of 15 rounds, the UTS-15 has truly broken new ground in tactical shotgun design. As standard features on the Military & Police Model and separately purchased accessories for civilians, there is a built in point-and-shoot impact centered, focused-beam LED spotlight, adjustable laser sight, flip-up large aperture peep or V rear sight, a glow-in-the-dark bead front sight and a screw in, breaching muzzle extension.
Baby boomers have worse health than parents’ generation WASHINGTON – Despite modern society’s fascination with gyms, fitness studios and personal trainers, baby boomers are in a worse state of health than their parents were at the same age. A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine reports that those born in the years 1946 through 1964 are not as active as experts believed, and therefore, are less healthy. The study compared data between the two generations from an ongoing national health and nutrition survey. The data showed that 39 percent of baby boomers are obese, compared to about 29 percent of the previous generation. About 16 percent of baby boomers also have diabetes, compared to 12 percent of the previous generation. Additionally, about twice as many baby boomers walk with a cane, compared to their parents at the same age. However, boomers don’t smoke as much as their parents and are therefore less likely to have a heart attack, the study reports.

Director John Landis was found innocent this afternoon of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of actor Vic Morrow and two child actors killed on the “Twilight Zone” movie set. A seven-man, five-woman jury deliberated nine days before finding the 36-year-old film maker innocent of five counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the July 23, 1982, helicopter crash. Three other film makers, George Folsey, Dan Allingham, Paul Stewart, and pilot Dorcey Wingo also were acquitted on all counts against them. The 15 verdicts were read to a virtually silent courtroom, presided over by Superior Court Judge Roger W. Boren, beginning at 1:51 p.m. A “media circus” had gathered a half hour before the verdict was scheduled to be read at 1:30 p.m. Some of the defense team had given the “V for victory” sign as they entered the courtroom through a crush of reporters and prosecutor Lea Purwin D’Agostino had conceded she had “butterflies, of course.” Criminal Negligence The five defendants were accused of acting with criminal negligence in the July, 1982, deaths of the three actors, who were struck and killed by a Huey UH-1B helicopter during the late-night filming of a mock Vietnam battle scene at Indian Dunes Park near Saugus. The script had called for Morrow to heroically carry the children across the Santa Clara River, away from the pursuing helicopter. But instead, as film crew members and visitors stared in horror, the three-ton aircraft careened out of the sky after its tail rotor was engulfed by the blazing fireball of a special-effects explosive. Renee Chen, 6, was crushed by the helicopter. Morrow, 53, and Myca Dinh Lee, 7, were decapitated by the main rotor blade. Neither the fatal scene nor any reference to the children was included in the film. However, the repercussions of the accident still reverberate through the film community. “If there is (another) director out there who is willing to sacrifice or to risk sacrificing human lives for the sake of reality . . . (perhaps) that director will (now) think twice,” the prosecutor, Deputy Dist. Atty. Lea Purwin D’Agostino, said before the verdict. According to D’Agostino, the “Twilight Zone” accident is the first ever in which young children were killed on a Hollywood film set. And Landis is the only Hollywood director ever to be criminally charged for deaths on a set, authorities say. ‘Unforeseen, Unforeseeable’ The defense maintained that the tragedy was not criminal in nature, but rather an unfortunate accident resulting from “unforeseen and unforeseeable” circumstances. In essence, the defense pinned the blame on a special-effects crew member who ignited the fatal explosives without looking up at the helicopter. Landis, Folsey and Allingham had admitted long before the trial that they illegally hired the children without a needed state permit. However, the district attorney’s office did not charge them with that crime. By the time jurors finally began their deliberations, they had heard 93 days of testimony followed by four days of prosecution rebuttal and 13 days of final arguments. In 71 days of prosecution testimony, D’Agostino called 71 witnesses, ranging from the parents of the dead children to expert helicopter pilots and actor/director Jackie Cooper.
Q: how to create alias of table name in Rails ActiveRecords select user_id, max(perception_score) as max, min(perception_score) as min from temp_user_notes group by user_id as t1; I am trying to convert this sql query in rails active record but having a hard time to create aliases A: You can alias the table to another name in the from method of ActiveRecord. For example, part of your query could be: TempUserNote. select("t1.user_id, (t1.max - t1.min) as std_deviation"). from( TempUserNote. select("user_id, max(perception_score) as max, min(perception_score) as min"). group(:user_id), :t1 )
News 9 Slow Lorises Rescued From Illegal Pet Trade Primates Sept. 26, 2017 - Officials in West Sumatra, Indonesia, rescued nine slow lorises from being sold on the illegal pet market. All species of slow lorises are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and by local laws in southern Asia. Before being sold, most lorises undergo a painful and potentially fatal procedure to remove their sharp teeth. These nine lorises had not yet had their teeth removed. They are sensitive, nocturnal animals that don't fare well in captivity. The rescued nine will eventually be released into the wild after undergoing rehabilitation. Slow lorises are critically endangered. In addition to the pet trade, they face threats from poaching and habitat loss.
LBS keeps steering me toward TranceX29 over a new Reign Went into the LBS to look at a '13 Reign 1. Only one worth buying this year in my opinion. Rep said "Reigns are not selling". This isn't the first time I've heard this. He went on and on about the new TranceX 29 (and on and on). Welcome'd me to demo it as soon as the snow is gone. I'll admit, that bike has been on my radar, but I loved my Reign last year. I'm thinking of buying a new '12 Reign 2 (great local deal), but wonder if I should wait until I demo the X29 and see for myself. Just curious to hear opinions from those who have time on a Reign and a 29 of any kind. Never ridden a 29, so I have no data to compare. I climb a lot, but love to push as hard as possible downhill...and we have long downhills here. Last year I rode about 750m and over 100k feet of elevation gain. Just wonder if the X29 might suit be better if it is as great as they are saying. Went into the LBS to look at a '13 Reign 1. Only one worth buying this year in my opinion.

Re: LBS keeps steering me toward TranceX29 over a new Reign If you are climbing that much, it would be in your best interest to get a bike that climbs really well. The Reign is a great bike but the Trance X29er will climb better. That said, if you want the Reign, get the Reign. If you are climbing that much, it would be in your best interest to get a bike that climbs really well. The Reign is a great bike but the Trance X29er will climb better. That said, if you want the Reign, get the Reign. Good point (and I also forgot to mention, I did all that climbing last year with a Reign (2010) - obviously it worked fine. Loved the bike...just wanting / thinking of a new one). Because they do the same task equally well. I've owned both bikes, and did back to back days on each last winter while I was out west. The TX29charges descents hard. The larger wheels reduce the feedback from blown out trail chatter, and give the bike a super stable and confident ride - The same affect achieved from a (slightly) slacker headtube angle and extra inch of travel on the Reign. Additionally, with the tighter rear end and modest wheelbase on the TX29, cornering isn't a chore, and is downright rad when factoring in the traction provided by the wheels. I've been on the TX29 since summer, and had a trusty relationship with my TX, Reign, and Reign X before. But I can honestly say, aside from some extra flickable fun provided by the 26" wheels on the Reign, both of these bikes in question do the same job with the same level of confidence and capability. If anything, the TX29 does it just alittle bit better. Because they do the same task equally well. I've owned both bikes, and did back to back days on each last winter while I was out west.

Christened it today after work on a muddy ride, and I have no regrets. The TX29 was also on my radar, but my choice was solely based on the fact that I wanted to get my first 26" bike, and steer away from the 29ers. At least for a minute. I'm a fairly small guy at 5'8" and 145 lbs, so I feel the 26 wheels are more flickable than my 29ers were. I felt like I was using all my force to muscle those tires thru corners. If you are larger than myself, I'd say take the Trance out for a test then make your decision. I am stoked on 29ers, just time for a change. I think everyone else is on the opposite side of the spectrum.

Geminin has dimerization, Cdt1-binding, and destruction domains that are required for biological activity. Geminin is an unstable regulatory protein that affects both cell division and cell differentiation. Geminin inhibits a second round of DNA synthesis during S and G(2) phase by binding the essential replication protein Cdt1. Geminin is also required for entry into mitosis, either by preventing replication abnormalities or by down-regulating the checkpoint kinase Chk1. Geminin overexpression during embryonic development induces ectopic neural tissue, inhibits eye formation, and perturbs the segmental patterning of the embryo. In order to define the structural and functional domains of the geminin protein, we generated over 40 missense and deletion mutations and tested their phenotypes in biological and biochemical assays. We find that geminin self-associates through the coiled-coil domain to form dimers and that dimerization is required for activity. Geminin contains a typical bipartite nuclear localization signal that is also required for its destruction during mitosis. Nondegradable mutants of geminin interfere with DNA replication in succeeding cell cycles. Geminin's Cdt1-binding domain lies immediately adjacent to the dimerization domain and overlaps it. We constructed two nonbinding mutants in this domain and found that they neither inhibited replication nor permitted entry into mitosis, indicating that this domain is necessary for both activities. We identified several missense mutations in geminin's Cdt1 binding domain that were deficient in their ability to inhibit replication yet were still able to allow mitotic entry, suggesting that these are separate functions of geminin.
Q: How translate python command to curl command I need to use the curl command instead of python code to call the api but it is not work .The python code is working with any problems but we want the command to be run as curl command import requests params = {'username': 'testuser'} params['access_token'] = 'c3NhbmthMDJjsd' params['region'] = 'test' params['role'] = 'guide' params['ipaddr'] = '192.168.0.37' params['name'] = 'test-testhost-001' params['check'] = 'enable' url = 'http://10.0.0.1:8000/monitor/' r = requests.post(url, data=params) r.json() I dont know how to run the above using the curl command A: Heading ##Here's your python params put into raw post format ... Good luck! curl \ -X POST \ -d "username=testuser&access_token=c3NhbmthMDJjsd&role=guide&name=test-testhost-001&check=check&region=test&ipaddr=192.168.0.37" \ http://10.0.0.1:8000/monitor/
Q: Marketing cloud grabbing all zips for displaying on a cloud page I have a data extension that holds ~200k records each record has a zip code associated with it. On my cloud page, I would like to display all of the UNIQUE zips as selectable options. I have a solution in SSJS that allows only up to 2500 due to limitations of rows.retrieve() is there anyway to grab the rest of them? my code if interested <script runat="server"> Platform.Load("core","1"); var makeArrhold = DataExtension.Init("somedataextid"); var makearrr2 = makeArrhold.Rows.Retrieve(); var makeholder= []; for (var j = 0; j < makearrr2.length; j++) { makeholder.push(makearrr2[j].Make_TXT); } var unqmakeholder = []; var negcheck; for(var b=0; makeholder.length > b; b++){ negcheck = -1; for(var i=0; unqmakeholder.length > i; i++){ negcheck = unqmakeholder[i].indexOf(makeholder[b]); if(negcheck != -1){ negcheck = testresult; } } if(negcheck == -1){ unqmakeholder.push(makeholder[b]); } } Write("<UL>"); for (var j = 0; j < unqmakeholder.length; j++) { Write("<LI>" + unqmakeholder[j] + "</LI>"); } Write("</UL>"); </script> this works to grab the unique values but will break once records reach over 2500' any ideas? A: I will suggest to create a data extension with all the unique zipcodes from your original DE. This can be built with Automation Studio and appropriate Query Activity. Let's call this new DE uniquezips Set @zipcodes = LookupOrderedRows('uniquezips',DataExtensionRowCount('uniquezips'),'zip ASC','include','1') You need to set a column with a consistent value across all rows (e.g. include), to overcome the need for a condition in LookupOrderedRows. This can be done in the query building uniquezips You can also use this approach by Adam Spriggs, to deduplicate your rows directly in AmpScrip. If SSJS is a hard requirement, there is a well-described solution here on StackExchange.
Time To Start Worrying About Our Levee System Most Read Occasionally, the blog dips into a pool of stories it classifies under the heading of One More Damn Thing. These consist of massive national problems that our politics, and the self-government that proceeds from them, ignore until the problem results in something happening that's bad enough to draw the attention of Jim Cantore, and to guarantee the arrival of Anderson Cooper on your front lawn. Generally, at the heart of these particular stories is the country's new implicit motto — America: We Won't Do Dick. Today's entry is about the nation's levee system which, according to a terrific report by the AP, is pretty much falling apart from disuse and disrepair and horrendously inconsistent management. Inspectors taking the first-ever inventory of flood control systems overseen by the federal government have found hundreds of structures at risk of failing and endangering people and property in 37 states. Levees deemed in unacceptable condition span the breadth of America. They are in every region, in cities and towns big and small: Washington, D.C., and Sacramento Calif., Cleveland and Dallas, Augusta, Ga., and Brookport, Ill. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has yet to issue ratings for a little more than 40 percent of the 2,487 structures, which protect about 10 million people. Of those it has rated, however, 326 levees covering more than 2,000 miles were found in urgent need of repair. The problems are myriad: earthen walls weakened by trees, shrubs and burrowing animal holes; houses built dangerously close to or even on top of levees; decayed pipes and pumping stations. Because I am not a levee specialist, I had absolutely no idea that local governments were responsible for upgrading the levees in their town that no longer came up to standards. (These are towns, many of them, that are shutting off streetlights and laying off cops because they can't afford either one of those peculiar luxuries.) Because I am not a levee specialist, I had absolutely no idea that, in some locations, the Army Corps Of Engineers allowed people to build what appear to be whole neighborhoods atop the levees. Part of an 11.5-mile levee built to protect downtown Augusta, Ga., from the Savannah River was incorporated into a park featuring a brick walkway, lighting and landscaping. A townhouse subdivision and access road were built atop the levee, as were sections of a hotel, a church hall and a science museum. In Toledo, Ohio, some 1,500 homes, patios, stairs and other structures have been placed on the levee that runs along Lake Erie's Maumee Bay. ''You name it, it's out there,'' said Robert Remmers, a Corps levee safety program manager who oversees Toledo's system. Local officials say that in many cases the Corps allowed such incursions - or didn't object to them. Tom Robertson, a consulting engineer for Augusta, said the Corps signed off on the commercial buildings encroaching on its levee in the 1980s and 1990s, and the Corps knew about the townhouse development and did not formally approve it. We, of course, would have been generally unaware of this latter problem until Anderson was standing there in his CNN rain-slicker as an entire block of flats went floating by behind him. Pardon me if, in my ignorance, I seek to point out that this whole system seems a little nuts. Local cities and towns can't afford to maintain the levees. It appears that the Corps Of Engineers can't, either. Naturally, there was an attempt to reform the system proposed in the Congress. Naturally, it went nowhere. Because, I don't know, THE DEFICIT! AUSTERITY!! THE CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX!!! AIEEEE!!!! In 2009, a congressional advisory panel recommended that Congress invest in levees, create national levee programs and enact policies to increase awareness about the risks of flooding. But Congress has yet to adopt the group's report. In the meantime, experts are warning that aging and weak flood-control systems will likely face stiffer tests as climate change makes severe storms more common in the coming years. You can't help but read this story in the context of the utterly absurd debate this week over whether or not, or how, the federal government should disburse relief money to the areas affected by superstorm Sandy. We ignore the existing problems until some untoward but completely predictable natural catastrophe detonates the problem in our face, and then we play political parlor games over nickel-and-diming the recovery efforts. If we go down in the flood, as the song goes, it'll be our fault.

Fibronectin in synovial fluid and tissue in rheumatoid arthritis. Fibronectin is a glycoprotein found in body fluids, loose connective tissue matrix and in basement membranes. Fibronectin in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fluid was immunologically indistinguishable from the plasma form, as shown by double-diffusion analysis. Fibronectin isolated from rheumatoid synovial fluid by affinity chromatography on gelatin--Sepharose had a polypeptide pattern similar to that of plasma fibronectin in SDS--polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In fifty-one patients with rheumatoid arthritis and related diseases fibronectin concentrations is synovial fluid were 445 +/- 103 micrograms/ml (mean +/- SD) and within normal range, 335 +/- 52 micrograms/ml, in plasma. Immunofluorescence staining showed a prominent increase of fibronectin in the proliferating synovial connective tissue in rheumatoid arthritis as compared to normal synovial membrane. The results suggest an increased local production of fibronectin in rheumatoid synovial tissue.
MANILA, Philippines — Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo on Thursday said he wanted the Presidential Security Group (PSG) to investigate why the family of rapist-murderer ex-Calauan Mayor Antonio Sanchez was able to come to his office in Malacañang without his knowledge. “How were they able to enter? Why was I not aware that they were coming?” Panelo, during a Palace briefing Thursday, recalled asking his staff. ADVERTISEMENT He said his staff told him that even they were not aware that Sanchez’s wife Elvira and his daughter Antonelvie were coming to their office. “In fact, I told them, let the PSG investigate. How were they able to enter without our knowledge?” he added. Panelo’s office is at the New Executive Building (NEB) in Malacañang. The logbook at NEB showed Elvira and Antonelvie went to Malacañang thrice — on February 7, 21 and 26 this year. Aside from February 7 and 26 this year, logbook at the New Executive Building in Malacañang shows that Elvira and Mymy Sanchez also went to Malacañang to meet with presd’l spox Salvador Panelo on February 21. Panelo says he does not recall the Feb 21 meeting. @inquirerdotnet pic.twitter.com/LgQD4uusEn — Nestor A. Corrales (@NCorralesINQ) September 5, 2019 Panelo earlier confirmed he met the family twice on February 7 and 26 but was not able to meet them on the 21st. READ: Panelo says he met Sanchez kin twice ADVERTISEMENT “As I’ve said, we don’t even know how they were able to come. But my experience here is that, in Gate 2, [security] not so [strict],” he said. “Sometimes strict, sometimes not. No, that’s true. That’s why they really have to be strict because sometimes I am surprised why there are people there,” he added. He questioned the PSG’s lax security. “I think the security problem of the PSG, not us, lax. Maybe the lax [security],” he said. INQUIRER.net has sought comment from PSG but has yet to respond as of posting. /je Read Next EDITORS' PICK MOST READ
Q: comparing two dataframe columns of booleans I have two dataframes each denoting actual rain and predicted rain condition. Actual rain dataframe is constant as it is a known result. Predicted rain dataframe They are given below. actul = index rain Day1 True Day2 False Day3 True Day4 True Predicted rain dataframe is given below. This dataframe keeps on changing based on predicted model used. prdt = index rain Day1 False Day2 True Day3 True Day4 False I am developing prediction accuracy of above prediction model as given below: #Following computes the number days on which raining was predicted correctly a = sum(np.where(((actul['rain'] == True)&(prdt['rain']==True)),True,False)) #Following computes the number days on which no-rain was predicted correctly b = sum(np.where(((actul['rain'] == False)&(prdt['rain']==False)),True,False)) #Following computes the number days on which raining was incorrectly predicted c = sum(np.where(((actul['rain'] == True)&(prdt['rain']==False)),True,False)) #Following computes the number days on which no-rain was incorrectly predicted d = sum(np.where(((actul['rain'] == False)&(prdt['rain']==True)),True,False)) predt_per = (a+b)*100/(a+b+c+d) My above code is taking too much time to compute. Is there a better way to achieve above result? Now, below accepted answer solved my above problem. Looks like something is wrong in my code given below because I am getting 100% prediction percentage for all dataframes. My code is: alldates_df = index met1_r2 useful met1_r2>0.5 0 0.824113 True True 1 0.903828 True True 2 0.500765 True True 3 0.889757 True True 4 0.890102 True True 5 0.893995 True True 6 0.933482 True True 7 0.872847 True True 8 0.913142 True True 9 0.901424 True True 10 0.910941 True True 11 0.927310 True True 12 0.934538 True True 13 0.946092 True True 14 0.653831 True True 15 0.390702 True False 16 0.878493 True True 17 0.899739 True True 18 0.938481 True True 19 -850.978703 False False 20 -21.802518 False False met1_detacu = [] # Method1_detection accuracy at various settings var_flset = np.arange(-5,1,0.01) # various filter settings for i in var_flset: pdt_usefl = alldates_df.assign(result=alldates_df['met1_r2']>i) x = pd.concat([alldates_df['useful'],pdt_usefl['result']],axis=1).sum(1).isin([0,2]).mean()*100 met1_detacu.append(x) plt.plot(var_flset,met1_detacu) My above code is working fine but I am getting but I am getting all 100% detection accuracy at all the varible filter settings. Something is wrong here. Obtained plot: Expected plot is: @WeNYoBen A: In your case assuming the index is the index of df , so we can using sum after concat , since True + True ==2 and False + False ==0 pd.concat([df1,df2],axis=1).sum(1).isin([0,2]).mean()*100 25.0 Update met1_detacu = [] # Method1_detection accuracy at various settings var_flset = np.arange(-5,1,0.01) # various filter settings for i in var_flset: pdt_usefl = alldates_df.assign(result=alldates_df['met1_r2']>i) x = pd.concat([alldates_df['useful'],pdt_usefl['result']],axis=1).sum(1).isin([0,2]).mean()*100 met1_detacu.append(x) plt.plot(var_flset,met1_detacu)
Check out my twitter @mrocchio42 and check out my radio show on wqqx1490am.com. I'm on every morning with Pro Football HoF voter and NFL regular season awards voter, Howard Balzer. It's always a blast from 9-11. Thanks to Go Eagles, I believe it is now official: The Johnsons can field an offense. Josh Johnson would have to be the QB, and while inexperienced, trust me he is aces. 3 wideouts for sure between Calvin, Andre, and Chad. Thanks to Go Eagles, I believe it is now official: The Johnsons can field an offense. Josh Johnson would have to be the QB, and while inexperienced, trust me he is aces. 3 wideouts for sure between Calvin, Andre, and Chad. Or does Chad not count anymore? Johnson offense > Williams defense? There's no way that offensive line holds up for more than half a second against the Williamses. Draft Juice Williams, then put him at OLB or DE. 6'2 225. No chance for the opposing o-line with that size complimented by 4.5 speed. Plus, he'll know what the QBs, RBs, WRs, and o-line will be thinking.
Challenges to developing countries after joining WTO: risk assessment of chemicals in food. FAO/WHO encourages member countries to develop national food control measures based on risk assessment in order to assure proper protection level to consumers and facilitate fair trade. This is particularly important for developing countries as WTO members because it is clearly stated in the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) Agreement that: (a) SPS measures should be based on risk assessment techniques developed by relevant international organizations; and (b) Codex standards which is based on risk assessment are regarded as the international norm in trade dispute settlement. When conducting risk assessment on food chemicals (including additives and contaminants) in developing countries, in most cases it is not necessary to conduct their own hazard characterization because the ADIs or PTWIs of food chemicals developed by international expert groups (e.g. JECFA) are universally applicable and also developing countries do not have the resources to repeat those expensive toxicological studies. On the other hand, it is necessary to conduct exposure assessment in developing countries because exposure to food chemicals varies from country to country. This is not only crucial in setting national standards, but also very important for developing countries to participate in the process of developing Codex standards. In addition to food standard development, risk assessment is also useful in setting up priorities in imported food inspection and evaluating the success of various food safety control measures.

Enhanced anti-proliferative effects of combinatorial treatment of delta-tocopherol and resveratrol in human HMC-1 cells. The tocopherols (alpha, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol) and resveratrol are phytochemicals with alleged beneficial effects against atherosclerosis, vascular diseases and different cancers. They both can act as antioxidants, but they also modulate signal transduction and gene expression by non-antioxidant mechanisms. Here we wanted to determine whether the combined treatment of mast cells with the two compounds inhibits cell proliferation more efficiently when compared to individual treatments. Both compounds inhibit HMC-1 mastocytoma cell proliferation and reduce the activity of Protein Kinase B (PKB/Akt) by inhibiting its Ser473-phosphorylation. The combination of 50 microM delta-tocopherol and 50 microM resveratrol inhibits proliferation of HMC-1 cells more efficiently when compared to single treatments. In line with this, PKB Ser473-phosphorylation is inhibited best by delta-tocopherol and resveratrol combinatory treatment. Resveratrol acts more efficiently as an inhibitor of PKB phosphorylation than alpha-, beta-, gamma-tocopherols, whereas delta-tocopherol shows a stronger inhibition possibly as a result of its apoptotic secondary effects. Our data suggest that delta-tocopherol and resveratrol can act additively in reducing cell proliferation and PKB phosphorylation. The combination of phytochemicals with relatively broad specificity on enzymes involved in signal transduction and gene expression may increase their activity in disease prevention by modulating several different molecular targets.
Some pranks are so good they keep working over and over again. Back in November 2002, someone (using the name Robert Calvert) created and posted to a USENET newsgroup a phony chart which purportedly showed the average IQ per state in the U.S., along with the average income and a column indicating how that state voted in the 2000 presidential election: State Avg. IQ 2004 1 Connecticut 113 Kerry 2 Massachusetts 111 Kerry 3 New Jersey 111 Kerry 4 New York 109 Kerry 5 Rhode Island 107 Kerry 6 Hawaii 106 Kerry 7 Maryland 105 Kerry 8 New Hampshire 105 Kerry 9 Illinois 104 Kerry 10 Delaware 103 Kerry 11 Minnesota 102 Kerry 12 Vermont 102 Kerry 13 Washington 102 Kerry 14 California 101 Kerry 15 Pennsylvania 101 Kerry 16 Maine 100 Kerry 17 Virginia 100 Bush 18 Wisconsin 100 Kerry 19 Colorado 99 Bush 20 Iowa 99 Bush 21 Michigan 99 Kerry 22 Nevada 99 Bush 23 Ohio 99 Bush 24 Oregon 99 Kerry 25 Alaska 98 Bush 26 Florida 98 Bush 27 Missouri 98 Bush 28 Kansas 96 Bush 29 Nebraska 95 Bush 30 Arizona 94 Bush 31 Indiana 94 Bush 32 Tennessee 94 Bush 33 North Carolina 93 Bush 34 West Virginia 93 Bush 35 Arkansas 92 Bush 36 Georgia 92 Bush 37 Kentucky 92 Bush 38 New Mexico 92 Bush 39 North Dakota 92 Bush 40 Texas 92 Bush 41 Alabama 90 Bush 42 Louisiana 90 Bush 43 Montana 90 Bush 44 Oklahoma 90 Bush 45 South Dakota 90 Bush 46 South Carolina 89 Bush 47 Wyoming 89 Bush 48 Idaho 87 Bush 49 Utah 87 Bush 50 Mississippi 85 Bush The IQ numbers were originally attributed to the book ‘IQ and the Wealth of Nations,’ though they do not appear in the current edition. The tests and data were administered via the Raven’s APT, and The Test Agency, one of the UK’s leading publishers and distributors of psychometric tests. This data has been published in the Economist and the St. Petersburg Times, though this does not mean it should be taken as fact. The gag was that all the states that voted for Vice-President Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election were clustered at the top of the IQ scale, while all the states that voted for then-Texas Governor George W. Bush were clustered at the bottom. The chart’s creator claimed to have been inspired by the book IQ and the Wealth of Nations and to have drawn his IQ data from the Ravens APM, but — save for the average income per state numbers, which were valid but outdated figures taken from the 1994 World Almanac — the chart was completely bogus. (The Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices is not really a general intelligence test, nor do its publishers offer state-by-state test results data.) Nonetheless, a number of news publications (including the staid Economist) were taken in by the hoax — some mistakenly citing the information as having come from the book IQ and the Wealth of Nations, or even IQ and the Wealth of States — and published portions of the chart, and discussed it as if it were valid. (A similar hoax about presidential IQs produced similar media-fooling results back in 2001.) Now, someone has dusted off the same chart and (omitting the economic data) applied it to the 2004 presidential election, keeping the primary gag intact: the “blue” (i.e., Democratic states) are all clustered at the top of the IQ scale, while the “red” (i.e., Republican) states are clustered at the bottom. Same hoax, different year. If presidential elections continue to produce the close results, expect to see this same joke again every four years.
