Dolphins Collaborate with Facebook & ASBN to Live Stream High School Football
|
Miami, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins today announced they are working with Facebook and ASBN to become the first NFL team to live stream high school football games on the social platform. The games, featuring teams from Miami-Dade and Broward counties, will be available to people on Watch, Facebook’s new platform for shows. Fans can add these games to their watchlist by following the Miami Dolphins High School Live Show Page.
Prior to kickoff, the Dolphins also will stream “The Audible: Football Fridays,” a 30-minute program hosted by former Dolphins Kim Bokamper and Joe Rose. The social and interactive show promotes high school football in both counties, talks about the upcoming Dolphins game and is available on Facebook, Periscope and YouTube. The show’s earlier announced slate of games now features five rescheduled matchups due to Hurricane Irma.
The first streamed contest will feature Deerfield Beach High School vs. St. Thomas Aquinas High School this Friday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. ET. Those tuning into the broadcast will hear analysis and discussion from correspondents and audience interaction will be encouraged via live chats.
“By working with Facebook and ASBN, the Miami Dolphins are once again proving to be innovative adaptors by bringing football and technology together,” Miami Dolphins Senior Vice President of Communications & Community Affairs Jason Jenkins said. “This program will further our mission of celebrating youth football in South Florida and now bring the stories of these coaches, players and teams to a national audience.”
TIME/DATE MATCHUP LOCATION 7 p.m., 10/6/17 Deerfield Beach vs. St. Thomas Aquinas St. Thomas Aquinas 7 p.m., 10/13/17 American Heritage vs. Cardinal Gibbons Cardinal Gibbons 7 p.m., 10/20/17 Miami Northwestern vs. Miami Central Traz Powell Stadium 7 p.m., 10/27/17 Miramar vs. Western Western 7 p.m., 11/3/17 St. Thomas Aquinas vs. Miramar St. Thomas Aquinas

Isolation of hemicelluloses from barley husks
|
In this work, arabinoxylan, the primary hemicellulose in barley husks, was isolated from barley husks by steam explosion and ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration and diafiltration were used to concentrate and to increase the purity of the product which was intended for use as an oxygen barrier film in food packaging. A composite fluoropolymer membrane with a nominal molecular mass cut-off of 10,000 g/mol was used during ultrafiltration and diafiltration. The average flux during ultrafiltration to a volume reduction of 0.85 was 90 L/m(2) h. The flux was approximately constant (50 L/m(2) h) during diafiltration. Polysaccharides constituted about 40% of the solids fraction before ultrafiltration and nearly 70% after diafiltration. Arabinoxylan made up 45% of the polysaccharide fraction after diafiltration.

Fantastic Garage Rock, Dance and Trance album!
|
Lynne Price, who now goes by the name of Lyndsey Price, is a powerful and passionate singer! This album features some Dance and Techno songs she recorded a few years back, along with 4 Garage Rock tunes she recorded more recently. "Losing Control" is a cool Techno/Trance song. "Wiped Out" and "NYC Wild Girl" are excellent Dance tunes that remind me of the 70s/80s band Siouxsie & the Banshees. "Ponyride Thrills" is sensuous and showcases Lyn's excellent vocal range.
I love Garage Rock and Lyndsey gives us 4 great Garage Rockers on this album! "Garage Rock Radio" was created to be the theme song for the 1960s podcasts over at GarageRockRadio.com. It's only a minute long, but what a powerful and rockin' tune! Perfect for promoting a 1960s radio show! "Someday" is a cover of a 1966 Garage Rock classic. It is produced much better than the original 60s tune but retains the raw power and 60s sound of the original, with its swirling organ parts. Lyndsey's voice is strong, gritty and a little punky on this one, just as it is on all of her Garage songs. "The Way I Feel About You" is a cover of Pete Best's classic single and is one of my favorite 60s tunes. Lyndsey does an amazing job on this one too! Finally, we have a cover of "Come And Give Your Love To Me" that really makes you want to get up and dance! Lyndsey's voice soars above the fuzz guitar on this Garage Pop rocker.
My advice is to buy the entire album. I rated it 5 stars and I listen to it often. Try it, you'll love it!

Computational Fluid Dynamic Approach for Biological System Modeling
|
Various biological system models have been proposed in systems biology, which are based on the complex biological reactions kinetic of various components. These models are not practical because we lack of kinetic information. In this paper, it is found that the enzymatic reaction and multi-order reaction rate is often controlled by the transport of the reactants in biological systems. A Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) approach, which is based on transport of the components and kinetics of biological reactions, is introduced for biological system modeling. We apply this approach to a biological wastewater treatment system for the study of metabolism of organic carbon substrates and the population of microbial. The results show that CFD model coupled with reaction kinetics is more accurate and more feasible than kinetic models for biological system modeling.

Best approach to building a site to sell several items, but only one quantity of each (with auto removal after it's sold)?
|
A friend of mine is an artist and wants to sell his work online. He just needs a site that has an admin area where he can add, edit, and delete products (with just a title, description, price, and image). It needs PayPal integration and then once the product is sold, it needs to automatically disappear from the site since he only has one of each item. I'm not all that familiar with WordPress, but I was thinking since this site isn't all that complicated, WordPress might be able to get the job done. However, I couldn't find a PayPal plugin that would limit the quantity to one and automatically remove the product after it's purchased.
My question is what approach would you take in building a website like this?
I apologize if this is not the right subreddit for this question. If that's the case, go ahead and downvote, but I would appreciate it if you would let me know of a better place to post this question, whether it's a different subreddit or an entirely different site.

Hospital probed over shocking care of MS patient stuck in foetal position for more than two years
|
Get daily updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Thank you for subscribing! Could not subscribe, try again later Invalid Email
A hospital is being investigated over the care of a multiple sclerosis patient stuck in the foetal position for more than two years.
Former TA soldier Billy Barclay, 60, was moved from Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride – where he had been trapped because no care home place could be found – after the Record exposed his plight.
His daughter Barbara says he is now receiving much better care at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. But staff there discovered he had two fractures and a serious infection.
(Image: Sam Hardie)
Barbara believes Billy must have been injured during his months in Hairmyres. And we can reveal social workers have issued the hospital with an “adult protection order” over his care.
NHS Lanarkshire’s director of nursing Frances Dodd said yesterday: “We are aware of this case and an investigation is ongoing. It would be inappropriate to comment further.”
Barbara says the authorities must find out how Billy was allowed to get into his current state.
Before his admission to hospital, Billy, a former taxi driver, had become confined to his home in East Kilbride when his MS became unmanageable and his mental health deteriorated.
When Barbara, 36, who had lost touch with her dad as a child, made contact, she found him living alone and curled up in a ball – unable to stretch out after being stuck like that for many months.
She said yesterday: “The Queen Elizabeth staff have been amazing with my dad. They found two fractures, one on his bum bone and the other on his hip.
“And his bedsores were in a shocking state. One of them was badly infected. Hairmyres neglected him but he’s getting a lot better now. He’s getting much better looked after in the new hospital.”
Billy has a new senior social worker at South Lanarkshire Council in charge of his case. And a care home has been identified which might be suitable for him.
Barbara said: “I’m hopeful it will be the right place but I’m not rushing into anything. I want to make sure it’s perfect for him.
“But I can’t thank the Record enough. I wouldn’t be where I am now without you.
“Before you got involved, no one bothered but now things are much better. I am finally getting the help I needed. And in the last week, dad has really turned the corner.
“The nurses in the Queen Elizabeth have been fantastic with him and the new senior social worker has been to visit him and has been trying hard to help me too.
“I was never happy with his treatment at Hairmyres. Dad got really upset when he was told initially he would be going back there.
“He loves where he is now and has asked if he can stay there. He can’t, but it shows how much of a difference they have made.
“The nurses at the Queen Elizabeth are angry at the way he had been cared for in Hairmyres. I think they were behind the AP1 (adult protection order) complaint.
“I was told two social workers personally delivered the AP1 on Thursday.”

First rate, modern translation
|
Finding first rate translations can be a hit and miss affair. However, this it definitely a "hit". Merwin's translation of Euripides' tragedy is masterful and deserves the glowing reviews it has received here as elsewhere. Readers of this review might be interested to know that it is part of a series called "The Greek Tragedy in New Translations". And while it is out of print, good used copies are freely available in the Amazon marketplace -- which is where I secured mine.
Merwin has rendered a taut, readable version in modern English. And the volume is supplemented with an extremely interesting introduction by George Dimock -- with which I am not sure I entirely agree -- though he does a fine job of fitting the play within the context of the Peloponnesian War.
For me, the riveting aspect of this work is the treatment that Achilles gets (Agamemnon, of course, gets a good drubbing, which is satisfying -- but hardly unexpected!). We see him at Aulis, a young man as yet unbowed and unbloodied by the years of warfare at Troy. Dimock makes a rather startling remark when he asseverates, "The one thing that his [Achilles] speeches do not contain is simple human feeling such as Paris might entertain: it does not seem to have occurred to him that a young girl is about to die." And he is rather critical of Achilles for this (I might even say that his introduction is suffused with "pro-Trojan" sympathies). But for me, isn't this rather the whole point? Of course Achilles is like this, it took TEN years of warfare and the death of Patroclus for him to learn (and recall that he ALONE among the Greeks appears to have absorbed the lesson) how to be "human" -- on this see Bernard Knox's introduction to Robert Fagles' brilliant translation of the Iliad. I prefer the General Editor's view on this when he says, "the play enacts the heroic education of Achilles." Well, at least it enacts the very early stages of it!
Merwin is a wonderful poet -- and I would also recommend his translation of Dante's Purgatorio and Paradiso. For readers in search of other top notch modern translations, see Stanley Lombardo's truly astonishing translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey. See also Nicholas Pevear's translation of Aias.
Here is a sample of Merwin's translation (from the Chorus's reaction to a speech of Agamemnon's):
"O Cyprian,
most beautiful of the goddesses, keep
such wild flights from me.
Let me know love
within reason and desire within
marraige, and feel your presence
not your rage.
The natures of humans
are various, and human ways of acting
are different,
but everyone knows what is right,
and teaching
inclines them at last to virtue."

Bush’s Baked Beans fell victim to Facebook’s political ads system.
|
The company’s new system for advertising transparency is still working out its kinks. DIPTENDU DUTTA/AFP/Getty Images
Last Thursday, Facebook rolled out new disclosure requirements for paid posts—ads—in order to prevent a repeat of at least one part of the Russian campaign to spread disinformation and deepen partisan divides on social media in the 2016 presidential election. (Accounts attributed to a Kremlin-backed troll farm spent a little more than $100,000 on Facebook ads during the cycle.) Ads relating to elections and political issues on Facebook and Instagram now have to include a “Paid for by” label. The company is also providing a searchable database to the public of all political ads that have run on the two platforms, along with information about their audiences and sources of funding.
While Facebook’s move toward greater advertising transparency is laudable, it appears the company hasn’t quite smoothed out all the kinks in the system. It’s a difficult task to determine what exactly “political content” is. As the Verge has documented, Facebook labeled ads for a report on Flint’s water crisis and for a podcast episode on the Russian media’s coverage of Trump as being political. News outlets like the Washington Post and the New York Times have also bristled at the idea of labeling their promoted posts as political ads.
Apart from these murkier cases, however, there is a wealth of categorically apolitical ads that have also been caught up in the dragnet. For example, Facebook’s system has automatically removed ads for Bush’s Beans and a barbershop because they failed to include the “Paid for by” disclaimer. It’s unclear why exactly this is happening, though it may have something to do with the A.I. system that Facebook is using to identify political ads. (I’ve asked Facebook for comment and will update this post when I hear back.)
Here is a sampling of ads pulled from the database that have been apparently mislabeled as political:
These two Bush’s Beans ads for canned BBQ Baked Beans that have that “grillin’ flavor”:

Key to the City (film) a woman for him, but he is definitely attracted. He needs to be careful, however, because a crooked city councilman Les Taggart (Raymond Burr) would love to have any hint of scandal to use against Steve politically back home. Steve proceeds to inadvertently get Clarissa arrested twice - first after a brawl in a Chinatown restaurant, then on their way to a costume party. A photographer clicks a picture of Clarissa making it appear she is at the police station for public drunkenness. She does not think it funny, but her uncle, Judge Silas Standish (Lewis Stone), is privately delighted

Abstract Background . This report describes technical details of the right thoracotomy approach for mitral surgery, and analyzes our experience with this procedure for patients with a prior sternotomy. Three methods for myocardial management (hypothermic cardioplegic arrest, beating heart, and fibrillating heart) are compared. Methods . Records were abstracted of patients who had a right thoracotomy between January 1, 1992 and July 1, 1999 for mitral surgery after at least one prior sternotomy. Demographic, operative, and outcome data were collected for analysis. Telephone follow-up was used to measure postoperative New York Heart Association functional status. Results . Eighty-four patients (mean age 60 ± 15 years) had reoperative mitral surgery via a right thoracotomy. Myocardial management included ventricular fibrillation in 10 patients, operation on the beating heart in 58 patients, and hypothermic blood cardioplegia arrest in 16 patients. The mean time in the operating room was 185 ± 73 minutes, and the mean duration of cardiopulmonary bypass was 63 ± 56 minutes. There were no perioperative strokes and the prevalence of death for patients who received cardioplegic arrest was significantly higher than the prevalence of death for patients who had mitral surgery with perfused fibrillating or beating heart techniques ( p = 0.007; Fisher's exact test comparing risk- unadjusted mortality). Conclusions . Right thoracotomy provides efficient exposure for reoperative mitral surgery. Mitral valve procedures on the fibrillating or beating heart are feasible in most patients and are at least as safe as surgery using cardioplegic arrest.

Redo-sternotomy for mitral valve (MV) surgery may be complex and attendant complications can be avoided using anterolateral right thoracotomy, deep hypothermia (20°C, nasopharyngeal) with low flow cardiopulmonary perfusion. Video-assisted minithoracotomy technique is a further improvement. We performed 20 consecutive MV operations in patients with previous cardiac surgery using video-assisted right minithoracotomy, femoro-femoral bypass, deep hypothermia, low flow cardiopulmonary bypass without aortic cross-clamping. The mean follow-up was 30 ± 17.8 mo. Data is presented as the mean ± standard deviation of the mean. There were 11 males and 9 females (age, 62.3 ± 12.1; ejection fraction 50.1 ± 11.2). Operations included MV replacement (n = 11), MV repair (n = 5), and MV re-replacement (n = 4). There were no hospital deaths, and the mean hospital stay was 8 ± 2.9 days. There were no postoperative strokes or need for mechanical circulatory support. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 152 ± 28 minutes. Two patients (10%) required inotropic support beyond 24 hrs. All patients were free from inotropic support at 48 hours. The mean number of transfused red cell units was 2.8 ± 0.8 (range, 2 to 4). One patient died in another institution six months postoperatively following surgery for acute type III aortic dissection. At 30 ± 17.8 months follow-up all patients were found to be in NYHA Class I or II. Minimally invasive video-assisted MV surgery using deep hypothermia, low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass without aortic clamping can result in excellent clinical outcomes in patients with previous cardiac surgery via a median sternotomy. This technique offers reproducible results, good myocardial protection (as evidenced by the low rate of inotropic support that patients needed postoperatively), and low rates of complications.

Posterior intracorneal opacities in patients with HIV infection.
|
Purpose: To describe a keratopathy in patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Methods: Retrospective review of ophthalmic and medical records, including laboratory evaluations, of seven patients with HIV infection and posterior intracorneal opacities. Results: Each patient had a bilateral peripheral keratopathy located at the level of the Descemet membrane that was unassociated with intraocular inflammation. All patients were receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). All patients had elevations in their CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts due to HAART prior to presenting with the corneal opacities. Five of the seven patients had elevated serum cholesterol, triglycerides, or both. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/25 or better in six of the seven patients at the time of diagnosis, and vision remained stable through the follow-up period in all patients (median follow-up: 25 months; range: 14–82 months). The corneal opacities remained unchanged in all seven over the follow-up per...

how much of ballarat's water usage comes from the white swan reservoir
|
(built in 1970 with a capacity of ) is Ballarat's largest water catchment accounting for approximately two thirds of the city's water usage. The White Swan reservoir (built in 1952 with a capacity) supplies most of the remainder. Since May 2008, the White Swan has been topped up by water from Bendigo's Sandhurst Reservoir through the Goldfields Superpipe with water originally sourced from the Goulburn River system. Kirks Reservoir (built between 1860 and 1862 with a capacity of ) and Gong Gong Reservoir (built in 1877 at Gong Gong, Victoria with a capacity of ) are historic main water supplies

As someone interested in the economics of Bitcoins, why are they so hard to buy online?
|
I'll explain a bit more in depth.
I've been following Bitcoins for awhile now, but even if I wanted to purchase some I've never been able to find a place to do it.
Are all the walls of security that necessary when compared to PayPal or any other online wallet?
I know the Bitcoins are encrypted and I understand that we're able to wire money to accounts which provide us with Bitcoins, but shouldn't we be able to use Debit cards to add USD to these websites?
As someone who eventually hopes to sell products with Bitcoins on the web, I'm at a loss for how accessible average customers are going to be for these Bitcoins.
I can only assume that transferring USD into Bitcoins is about as difficult as transferring USD into Euros, but for all these ad campaigns about comparing the Bitcoins to a credit card, you'd think they'd be easier to get your hands on.
Am I wrong here or am I completely missing something?

Ordered two these for a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee (as well as 2 rears) and received one in a beat up box and covered in a sticky glue-like material & the other one in a different box but in perfect condition. They both had the same part # but were obviously different construction (see pics). Strangely enough (and after 15-20 extra minutes of clean up) the one in the beat up old box is resisting corrosion much better.
