Rh "Yes, I will go."
And late that night when Lord Arden had come home and had gone to bed, tired out by a long day's vain search for the lost Dickie, and when everybody was asleep, Edred got up and dressed. He put his bedroom candle and matches in his pocket, crept downstairs and out of the house and up to Beale's. It was a slow and nervous business. More than once on the staircase he thought he heard a stair creak behind him, and again and again as he went along the road he fancied he heard a soft footstep padpadding behind him, but of course when he looked round he could see no one was there. So presently he decided that it was cowardly to keep looking round, and besides, it only made him more frightened. So he kept steadily on and took no notice at all of a black patch by the sweetbrier bush by Beale's cottage door just exactly as if some one was crouching in the shadow.
He pressed his thumb on the latch and opened the door very softly. Something moved inside and a chain rattled. Edred's heart gave a soft, uncomfortable jump. But it was only True, standing up to receive company. He saw the whiteness of the dog and made for it, felt for the chair, unhooked it from the staple in the wall, and went out again, closing the door after him, and followed very willingly by True. Again he looked suspiciously at the shadow of the great sweetbrier, but the dog showed no uneasiness, so Edred knew that there was nothing to be afraid of. True, in fact, was the | WIKI |

Mild dehydration: a risk factor of broncho-pulmonary disorders?
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 14681718 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Several expert committees recommend a high fluid intake in patients with chronic bronchitis and asthma. Is there a relationship between fluid intake or hydration status and broncho-pulmonary disorders like bronchitis and asthma? First, basic physiologic mechanisms like regulation of lung fluid balance and water transport at pulmonary surfaces were analyzed, in order to characterize the role of local hydration status in lung and airways. Second, making use of the computer-based literature searches (PubMed), evidence for a role of hydration status in complex physiological and pathophysiological conditions of lungs and airways like perinatal lung adaptation (PLA) (in prematures), mucociliary clearance(MC) and asthma was categorized. The movement of fluid between the airspaces, interstitium, and vascular compartments in the lungs plays an important physiological role in the maintenance of hydration and protection of the lung epithelium and significantly contributes to a proper airway clearance. PLA is characterized by a rapid change from fluid secretion to fluid absorption in the distal respiratory tract, with the literature data confirming a critical role of the epithelial sodium channel. Only few studies have investigated the effect of different fluid input regimens on PLA in prematures. MC relies on the interaction between epithelial water fluxes, mucus secretions, and ciliary activity. Whereas animal data show that drying of the airway epithelium decreases MC, few clinical studies investigating the effect of local or systemic hydration on MC have led to ambiguous results. Asthma (A) is characterized by chronic airway inflammation and episodic airway obstruction. Data in animals and humans indicate an association between exercise-induced-A and conditioning (humidity and heat exchange) of inspired air. However, epidemiological studies (children and adults), investigating the role of fluid (and salt) input in the etiology of the disease as well as studies analyzing different markers of hydration status during asthmatic attacks have so far led to conflicting results. Some expert groups recommend sufficient hydration as a complementary A-therapy. Analysis of basic physiological mechanisms in lungs and airways clearly demonstrates a critical role for water transport and local hydration status. In broncho-pulmonary diseases, however, analysis of the complex pathophysiological mechanisms is difficult. Thus, we still need more studies to confirm or refute mild dehydration or hypohydration as a risk factor of broncho-pulmonary disorders.

Muyuq Marka
Muyuq Marka, also Muyuqmarka (Quechua, hispanicized spellings Moyoc Marca, Muyucmarca, Muyuqmarca, Muyucmarka, Muyuc Marca, Muyuc Marka), is an archaeological site in Peru. It is the base of what was a round Incan tower, which is situated within the fortress Saksaywaman above Cuzco. It was used as a Temple of Inti (god Sun), but became part of a complex of rectangular buildings which mostly still remain today. However, the temple and the two flanking towers were dismantled during the Spanish rule. What remains of Muyuq Marka indicates that it was "a round building with an open central court which had a fountain." The temple had triple walls, which were aligned with the zenith sunrise and the antizenith sunset.
It was one of the three towers that were in the upper part of the Inca temple of Sacsayhuamán. This tower is famous because in 1536, in the Battle of Sacsayhuaman the Inca army soldier named Cahuide jumped from the top of the tower so as not to fall into the hands of the Spaniards. According to "Inca" Garcilaso de la Vega this tower was a store of pure water.
The Muyuqmarka consists of three concentric, circular stone walls connected by a series of radial walls. There are three channels constructed to bring water into what many scientists consider to be a reservoir. A web-like pattern of 34 lines intersects at the center and there is also a pattern of concentric circles that corresponded to the location of the circular walls.
Originally, the Myuqmarka was a building with 4 superposed floors. The first body would have had a square floor; the second would have been cylindrical; the third would have had also a cylindrical shape. The successive would have formed circular cultivation terraces with decreasing width, being the widest of 3.6 m and the narrowest of 3 m. The tower would have ended up in a conic ceiling. Muyu Marca must have reached a total height of 20 meters. It was an amazing work that generated the admiration of several chroniclers. The Spaniards destroyed it, in spite of the protests both from Cieza and Inca Garcilaso. (3)
Description by the chronicles
Several chroniclers name three towers that were on top of the hill of Sacsayhuamán. One of them is Pedro Sánchez de la Hoz who entered Cusco along with Francisco Pizarro. In his chronicle he tells us that in Sacsayhuamán there were three towers, the one in the middle in a cubic form of four or five bodies superimposed one on top of the other. However, Garcilaso de la Vega contradicts him by stating that the middle tower was circular in shape. But both agree that there were three towers and that their sizes were considerable. "Inca" Garcilaso narrates that under the towers there were huge tunnels that interconnected with each other even between the three towers, he also says that in his childhood he used to play there but only until the beginning of its destruction by the Spaniards. Subsequently, Pedro Pizarro referred to two towers "formed by two very tall cubes", probably he only managed to observe Paucamarca and Sallacmarca because Muyuq Marka had already been destroyed by the Spaniards. | WIKI |
Dinosaurs and Fossils
Tyrannosaurus Rex
What did the Tyrannosaurus rex look like?
The Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the most famous dinosaurs. It was famous for being very dangerous!
The T. rex had a huge mouth. It held 58 large, sharp teeth!
The T. rex had short arms. It had a thick tail. The tail helped it balance when it ran.
The T. rex walked on two strong legs. Even its feet were dangerous. Each foot had three toes with claws.
The T. rex grew to be about 40 feet (12 m) long. It was as long as a bus. It weighed 9 tons (8 tonnes). That is more than an elephant!
Where did the Tyrannosaurus rex live?
The Tyrannosaurus rex lived in North America. Its fossils have been found in Canada and the United States. In the U.S., its fossils come from Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Texas.
The T. rex lived in forests, swamps, and open plains.
When did the Tyrannosaurus rex live?
The Tyrannosaurus rex lived long before the time of people. It was alive 67 to 65 million years ago. The time is called the Late Cretaceous period.
The T. rex was one of the last dinosaurs to live on Earth.
What did the Tyrannosaurus rex eat?
The Tyrannosaurus rex was a meat eater. It hunted plant-eating dinosaurs. Its favorites were the Triceratops and the Edmontosaurus. The T. rex also ate dead animals that it found. This is called scavenging.
The T. rex was a fierce hunter. Its powerful bite crushed the bones of prey. The T. rex was not very fast. It hid in the plants, then jumped out to catch prey.
Fun facts about the Tyrannosaurus rex
Even T. rex babies were hunters! They learned to hunt by catching insects, frogs, and small animals living along rivers.
Scientists think the T. rex may have had feathers on its body.
A T. rex could eat 500 pounds (230 kilograms) of meat in one bite!
The T. rex had tiny, weak arms. Each had only two fingers. Scientists do not know if the T. rex used its arms for anything.
The first T. rex fossil was found in Montana in 1902. Today, more than 50 T. rex fossils have been found. In 1993, T. rex footprints were found in New Mexico.

Non-notable baseball player. Fails WP:BASE/N, WP:ATH and WP:GNG. Being on the Olympic qualify roster is not enough to merit notability. Per WP:ATH: "have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics." Alex (talk) 21:11, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
* Speedy keep per WP:ATH and WP:GNG. Cox was one of the highest rated prospects for the most well known baseball team in the world and multiple sources describe his career in detail. He was not only named to the squad, but pitched in 3 games at the highest international level. This is the type of bad faith AFD which has everyone angry at you, Alex. Are you trying to prove some sort of WP:POINT?--TM 21:26, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
* What is it with everyone claiming I am trying to make a point? I am trying to get rid of non-notable Wikipedia articles. It's that simple. And if people are really getting "angry," then I will pass my suggestion along to all of you that I have passed along to another Wikipedia member: (short version) "Chill." It really is quite comical watching people get so worked up. I'm not intending for you guys to get mad, but you are letting yourselves get that way. I am doing my best to improve Wikipedia, but I don't know if the same can be said about my fellow editors.
* If you want to "improve Wikipedia," why don't you spend more time finding sources for the pages you create rather than wasting so much time with these PRODs and AfDs. The "keep" rate among AfDs lately has been about 95%. Why are we wasting all these hours just to get an occasional page deleted? Also, please stop acting like a petulant child by bringing every one of your failed PRODs to AfD ten seconds later. Your batting average on these is about .050, so what's the point? — NY-13021 (talk) 22:38, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

* "Cox just returned from being a member of Team USA at the COPABE Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Cuba. He helped the U.S. to a 1st Place finish and an automatic berth in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Cox appeared in three games for Team USA and allowed one run in 5.2 IP with 1 BB and 6 K'" which is already on the article. I think WP:BEFORE applies here. If he was named to an Olympic team, it would make sense that he actually appeared.--TM 21:38, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

If it's not too much trouble, maybe Alex could use this opportunity to explain how that scout who won "Midwest Scout of the Year" was notable while seeing the guy in the Scouts Hall of Fame as not notable?

of the Fish, we readmitted it, and upon its rushing in, perceived the Light to be as it were revived and encreased; those parts of the Fish that were scarce visible before, or shone but dimly, receiving presently their former splendour.
And not to leave unprosecuted the remaining part of the Experiment, which was to try, Whether it was the Kind of the Luminous Body, or only the greatness of the Bulk, and the vividness of Light, and, if I may so speak, the Tenacity of the substance it resided in; that made the difference between the Fish and the Wood; we put part of the Fish of another kind, that shone much more faintly than that hitherto spoken of, and but in some places; and by the withdrawing the Air, we made some of the luminous parts disappear, and the others so dim, as scarce to be discerned, and yet both the one and the other regained their former light upon the return of the Air.
And to pursue the Experiment a little further, we put in such a piece of the first Fish as though it were bright, was yet but thin, and not considerably great, and upon pumping out the Air, we found it, according to our expectation, quite eclipsed, though it recovered its Light upon the Air's re-entry.
I scarce doubt, but these Experiments will occasion among the Virtuosi several Queries and Conjectures, according to the differing Hypotheses ''and Inquisitions, to which men are inclined. And particularly 'tis probable, that some will make use of this Discourse to countenance their Opinion, That notwithstanding the Coldness (at least as to sense) of Fishes and other Animals, there may he in the Heart and Blood a Vital kind of Fire, which needs Air, as well as those Fires that are sensibly hot: Which may lessen the wonder, that Animals should not he able to live when robbed of Air. And if I had now time, I could possibly furnish you with some other Trials, that seem much to favour the Comparison, though as to the opinion it self of a Vital Flame, I shall not now tell you my thoughts about it. And though not only the Cartesians will perhaps draw an Argument from the past Phænomena in favour of their Theory of Light, but divers others will discourse upon them, and propose further Questions, and perhaps Enquiries suitable to their several Hypotheses; yet I shall content my self at present to have faithfully delivered the Historical part of these Apparences, without'' making | WIKI |

Now, he reasoned, the time had come for bolder action. Although it started out small, O’Connell’s Catholic Association would soon grow into a national movement that ultimately achieved a stunning victory — what its supporters termed Catholic Emancipation — in 1829. But for Daniel O’Connell it was only the beginning.
Daniel O’Connell was born in Kerry in 1775. He was raised by a wealthy uncle, an upbringing that steeped him in the traditions and culture of Ireland. At 16, he was sent to school in France where he witnessed the French Revolution firsthand and was eventually forced to flee back to Ireland (one day after the execution of Louis XIV). He studied law and by 1800 had developed a thriving practice in Munster. By 1805 he was known far and wide across Ireland as a shrewd, quick-witted and altogether brilliant lawyer.
O’Connell began his political career in 1800 when he emerged as an outspoken critic of the Act of Union (interestingly, he was staunchly opposed to the Rebellion of 1798, the uprising that led to the Act of Union). In 1805, he took a leading role in the movement to repeal the remaining laws limiting the rights and freedoms of Ireland’s Catholics. These laws were vestiges of the draconian Penal Laws passed in the 1690s that stripped nearly all civil, legal, religious, and economic rights from Ireland’s Catholic majority. Many subsequently had been repealed over the course of the 18th century. The Catholic Relief Act of 1792, for example, permitted Catholics to study law and join the bar — the very law that freed O’Connell to study law and become one of the greatest legal minds of his day. Still, many laws discriminating against Catholics remained in effect.
Catholics were barred from holding senior government offices, serving in the privy council, or becoming judges or sheriffs.
As his career as an activist developed, O’Connell committed himself to non-violent agitation, a philosophy that derived from the scenes of horror he witnessed in revolutionary France, the violence of the United Irishmen uprising of 1798, and his own involvement in killing an antagonist in a duel in 1815. As he later put it, “Not for all the universe contains would I consent to the effusion of a single drop of human blood, except my own.” He thus became the father of constitutional nationalism, the counterweight to physical force nationalism as represented by the United Irishmen and later the Fenians, Clan na Gael, and the IRA.
The movement for Catholic Emancipation enjoyed growing support in the two decades following the Act of Union. Its initial base of strength came not from the Catholic masses (as would be the case eventually), but from a rising Catholic middle class made up of professionals and shopkeepers very much like O’Connell himself. They had seized upon the limited opportunities afforded Catholics in the 18th century to gain a measure of prosperity, respectability and, most important, rising expectations. Instead of taking satisfaction in their gains, they chafed at the remaining laws that made them second-class citizens. O’Connell, for example, despite being a highly regarded lawyer, could never under the present laws rise to a judgeship.
It’s important to point out that while O’Connell is rightly considered a key figure in the history of Irish nationalism, he was not an advocate of outright Irish independence. Indeed, when King George IV visited Ireland in 1821, O’Connell presented him with a tribute and garland. What he and most of his supporters really wanted was full civil rights for Irish Catholics and greater self-rule in Ireland (i.e., restoration of the Irish Parliament that had been abolished with the Act of Union). Still, while O’Connell’s nationalism seems rather tepid compared to the fiery independence agenda advocated by the Fenians and their successors, it was quite radical for its time — so much so that British authorities would soon brand him as a revolutionary.
O’Connell and his supporters found enough sympathetic Irish MPs to get Catholic Emancipation bills introduced into Parliament in 1805, ’08, ’19, and ’21, but all went down to defeat. The British establishment was divided on the issue. Pragmatists argued in favor of emancipation as a necessary measure to stave off rebellion in Ireland. Some even argued the point on the principle of justice. But the hardliners resisted, declaring that any concession to the Catholic Church would only whet the appetite of Irish nationalists and promote efforts to repeal the Act of Union. In many ways, both were correct, but the pragmatists slowly gained the upper hand. Each time the Catholic Emancipation bill was defeated by smaller and smaller margins. Indeed, the bill in 1821 actually passed in the Commons, but was rejected by the Lords.
This last defeat set O’Connell to thinking that a new strategy was needed to gain Catholic Emancipation. Straightforward political agitation had not proved strong enough to overcome the intransigence of the king and House of Lords. By 1823, O’Connell had his answer. He would take political agitation to a level never seen in Western European history, enlisting the mass of Irish peasants in a grassroots, democratic movement. If it worked, his movement would convince British hardliners that they faced a choice between Catholic Emancipation or revolution.

Why Does the Energy of Sound in the Air Eventually Become Increased Internal Energy of the Air?
Why Does the Energy of Sound in the Air Eventually Become Increased Internal Energy of the Air?
Because sound energy is created by mechanical waves vibrating through matter, the steady oscillations of sound gradually convert to internal energy of the molecules they vibrate, such as air molecules. A sound stops being audible because its energy has been absorbed by the medium through which it travels.
According to Georgia State University's Hyperphysics website, internal energy is the random movement of molecules on so small a scale that it cannot be perceived. This internal energy is also the appropriate physics term for the "heat" that a substance possesses. As sound energy travels through the air, its vibrations essentially heat the air molecules by adding to their random internal movement.
A sound wave in the air eventually stops traveling and stops making audible noise, but the energy is still there. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be lost or gained, but it can be converted to a different kind of energy. Sound energy in any substance functions similarly to other mechanical or physical energy and meets friction or resistance of that substance. As substances experience friction, the mechanical energy is absorbed and turned into more internal energy. Internal energy, thermal energy or heat is considered a less efficient or more disordered energy, and is a product of energy conversions.
Researchers at MIT say that although it would be possible to harness sound energy, it would be difficult to power anything substantial without using sounds with very high volumes, and even then conversion might still be very inefficient. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

When we say, “herpes” many of us are thinking about genital herpes, famously known as an incurable inconvenience. But there is more to it than being just a sexually transmitted infection. There are multiple ways that herpes can transmit but genital herpes is usually picked up from sexual contact. Apart from that, herpes can be transmitted when sharing an environment with someone who has the infection as well.
Recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes may happen, with some patients having four to six outbreaks in the span of a year. Compared to the first infection, subsequent recurrences are less painful and occur in shorter periods than the first infection. There are some patients, however, who don’t have another outbreak for many years or even once more during their lifetime.11
What is herpes gladiatorum? Herpes gladiatorum is a virus similar to that which causes the common cold. It is spread through skin-to-skin contact. The symptoms vary between people, but they include a fever and skin sores. If the virus affects the eyes, it can be dangerous. Find out about the symptoms, risks, treatment, and prevention options. Read now
Patients with genital herpes have reported that outbreaks or episodes typically diminish through the years. Early prodromal symptoms, or warning signals, that are followed by outbreaks. These prodromal symptoms often include mild tingling or shooting pains in the legs, hips and buttocks, and can last from 2 hours to 2 days. After the prodromal symptoms occur the blisters develop into painful red spots, which then evolve into yellowish, clear fluid-filled blisters after a day or two. These blisters burst or break and leave ulcers that usually heal in about 10 days. In women, blisters can develop inside the vagina and cause painful urination.
Herpes viruses typically infect the oral or genital mucosa. When herpes affects the mouth, it causes the typical "cold sores," which are painful sores or blisters that form on the lips, mouth, or gums. Prior to the development of the blisters, there may be a prodrome (early symptoms indicating onset of a particular disease) consisting of an itching, burning, or tingling sensation in the affected area. The virus remains dormant in the nervous system throughout life, and this is the reason that cold sores often recur in the same location.
Genital herpes is not usually accommodated by symptoms. Two-thirds of genital herpes cases are asymptomatic. Getting tested for both HSV-1 and HSV-2 is the only sure way to know if you have genital herpes. Blisters or sores in the genital area, fever, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, tiredness and painful urination call all be symptoms of genital herpes.
Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections are acquired from direct contact with someone who carries the virus. The infectious secretions that pass on HSV-1 or HSV-2 live on oral, genital or anal mucosal surfaces. They’re passed through skin-to-skin transmission, and any form of direct contact with sores on the mouth, buttocks or genitals can cause the virus to be passed.
The flares are caused when your immune system falters. This can be due to a number of reasons. Anything from daily stressors, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, weight gain, concurrent illnesses etc may cause your immune system to be distracted from the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection. The moment that happens, the virus will flare resulting in rashes, cold sores, ulcers or blisters on your body.
'Using condoms or dams can help to protect against STIs, but herpes can also be passed on by skin-to-skin contact with the affected area, so it’s strongly recommended that you don’t have sex during this time,' she adds. 'This includes direct genital contact or skin-to-skin contact with the affected area, and doesn’t have to be penetrative sex,' says O’Sullivan.

@debianus it means: the system cannot find the file specified 0x800700002 execute flash_all_except_storage.bat
@xpatze85x i think
1: make a folder on your c:\ drive directly and not in c\user\patrick\desktop and put rom inside there...
and/or
2: it means you have to '' disable driver signature verification'' before booting windows , do with F8 for windows 7 or window 8/10 search in Google how to boot windows 8 or 10 without driver verification
and then try your procedure over again, the quallcom driver has to be loaded into windows therefore the disable driver signature verification. And important of all keep breathing no sweating! your phone is not broken! keep that in mind! Only to find solution suitable for you is like finding the correct key to open the door. Goodluck and read through http://en.miui.com/forum.php

Senegal pays heavy price for total commitment
SAMARA, Russia (Reuters) - Senegal’s commitment to producing winning World Cup performances ultimately costly them dear, said coach Aliou Cisse, as they became the first side in tournament history to be eliminated by the fair play regulations. Senegal lost 1-0 to Colombia on Thursday and finished third in Group H, level on points and goal difference with Japan but below them because they collected two more yellow cards. “Senegal’s players were all highly committed. It’s difficult to play well at the World Cup if you don’t play with a lot of commitment,” Cisse said after Senegal became the last African side to exit the tournament. “I don’t know whether this regulation is cruel but there was no way I could ask my players to try and avoid yellow cards. “It’s a shame that this has worked against us,” Cisse told a news conference. “These are the laws of the game of football. We haven’t qualified because of fair play. We have fewer points in fair play and Senegal has not qualified because we don’t deserve it.” Cisse said they had been well aware of the rules and that they had to be respected. “Of course, we would have preferred to be eliminated in another way. It’s a sad for us but we knew these were the regulations. We were fully committed and maybe because we were fully committed, we got more yellow cards.” Senegal’s tally of yellows was six from their win over Poland, draw with Japan and the loss to Colombia. Japan collected four. Both teams amassed four points and a goal aggregate of 4-4. Senegal’s elimination confirmed Africa’s worst performance since the 1982 World Cup in Spain, when the continent last failed to get a team past the first round. “African football is making a lot of progress,” Cisse said. “We will not give up and I think there will be great things in the future. “Looking at other teams here, I don’t think we should be ashamed of our football. There is not much difference between the top teams and the others,” he added. Reporting by Mark Gleeson in Nizhny Novgorod; Editing by Ed Osmond | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Koko (novel)
Koko is a horror-mystery novel by American writer Peter Straub, first published in the United States in 1988 by EP Dutton, and in Great Britain by Viking. It was the winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1989.
Plot summary
In the early 1980s, a series of ritualistic murders take place in Southeast Asia in which the victims have their eyes and ears removed, and are each found with a playing card placed in their mouth bearing the word "KOKO". During a reunion of veterans at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., four survivors of a doomed platoon—Michael Poole (a grief-stricken pediatrician), Tina Pumo (owner of a Vietnamese restaurant), Conor Linklater (an itinerant construction worker) and Harry Beevers (an opportunistic lawyer)—gather to discuss the killings. Because the word "Koko" holds special significance to their old platoon, and because the killings recall the events in books he has written, the men believe that the killer is Tim Underhill, another member of their platoon who disappeared years earlier. Beevers convinces the men to help him track down Underhill.
While Pumo remains in New York City, Beevers, Poole and Linklater travel to Asia in search of Underhill. The trio fail to find Underhill in Singapore but are given several leads which send Poole and Linklater to Bangkok and Beevers to Taipei. While wandering around a residential area of Bangkok, Poole comes across Underhill at a small neighborhood fair and realizes that he is too stable and good-natured to be the killer. Underhill agrees to return to the U.S. to help in the pursuit. He, Poole and Linklater reunite with Beevers in San Francisco before returning to New York together. Meanwhile, the killer travels to the U.S. himself and murders Pumo in his apartment. Tina's girlfriend, Maggie Lah, comes across the scene and narrowly escapes the killer's clutches.
The group, now including Maggie, deduce that the killer is Victor Spitalny, a member of the platoon who vanished in Bangkok following the death of another soldier, Manny Dengler, after the war. Poole, Underhill and Maggie travel to Milwaukee and speak to Spitalny's parents. Learning that he and Dengler went to school together, they speak to several of their old classmates. Poole learns from one of them that Dengler was physically and sexually abused by his parents. From this, he realizes that Dengler assumed Spitalny's identity after murdering him and is the killer they are chasing. When the group returns to New York, Underhill is arrested thanks to an anonymous tip to police by Beevers, who wants to capture the killer alone and take all the credit for himself. Underhill is released when Poole shares his findings with the arresting officer.
The group tracks Beevers and Dengler to Chinatown, but split up when they realize the police are trailing them. Poole, Linklater and Underhill find Beevers, who has been captured and bound by Dengler. Dengler smashes a lightbulb, throwing the group into darkness as the police begin to negotiate for their release. Dengler stabs Poole and Underhill, and takes Underhill's jacket so that he can easily pass for Underhill himself in the dim light. After Poole alerts the police that he is not Underhill, Dengler murders one of the officers and escapes. He flees to Honduras and is never heard from again. Underhill narrates the end of the story, imagining Dengler's first few days in Honduras and the constant anxiety that would come with them.
Creation
After the success of Ghost Story, Straub struggled to generate a plot that would prove just as financially successful without being derivative of that work. He settled on the idea of Koko's murderous Vietnam veteran, and then wrote and re-wrote, ultimately completing the project after four years. Straub has described Koko as being "emotionally richer" than any of his prior works. He says that while writing it, he tried to mimic the "transparent" and "antiseptic" style of two stories from his collection Houses Without Doors: "Blue Rose" and "The Juniper Tree".
Koko shares characters with several of Straub's other works. The character of Timothy Underhill, for example, subsequently reappeared in the novels The Throat, Lost Boy, Lost Girl, and In the Night Room, and he was mentioned in Mystery. A short prequel to Koko, the short story "The Ghost Village", was also published in Straub's 2000 collection Magic Terror. The town of Milburn, which was the primary setting of Ghost Story, is briefly featured in Koko. The character of Harry Beevers also appears as a teenager and central character in Straub's novella, Blue Rose. | WIKI |
Wikov
Wichterle & Kovářik was a Czechoslovakian machinery manufacturer based in Prostějov. They produced cars and trucks from 1925 to 1937.
Development
František Wichterle founded a small factory in Prostějov, 1878 where he built agricultural vehicles. Dr František Kovařík owned a similar company in the same town who produced similar machinery. On 22 December 1918, the two companies merged into a joint-stock company Wichterle & Kovářik Ltd. After experimenting with different prototypes, including buying a chassis from Italian engineering company Ansaldo, mass production did not begin until 1925 (or 1927 according to some sources) with the model 7/28. Production of the cars were discontinued in 1937 and continued producing small trucks until 1940 after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia during World War 2.
Prototypes
The first vehicle that was built under license of Ansaldo, only five prototypes were made from 1922. They had a four-cylinder four-stroke engine with a 1000 cc displacement but later increased to 1250 cc and then 1350 cc. They later experiment making a more powerful and better-equipped car with displacement of up to 1500 cc. From 1924 and spring of 1925, around 5 4/16 hp (1250 cc) prototypes were developed and produced. By the end of 1925, 15 5/20 hp (1350 cc) prototypes were produced.
7/28
The first mass-production model. Produced from 1925 (or 1927) to 1932 with 280 examples built. Powered by a 1478 cc four-cylinder engine offering 28 hp or 40 hp. The engine had hardened cylinder barrels, silumin engine block, 12 V battery ignition and dry disc clutch. It had a top speed of 44 mph. During its production, several body types were offered, including an open tourer, faux cabriolet and limousine. They also made a two-seater sport model called the 7/28 Sport.
35
Built from 1930 to 1935, 150 examples were built. The 1743 cc four-cylinder engine produced 35 hp. It was offered in a four-seater phaeton, four- or six-seater limousine, open tourer, cabriolet or a landaulet body.
In 1931, they experimented with streamlining by fitting an aerodynamic body on a Type 35 chassis. Mass production were planned but setbacks caused it to never happen. Despite being well received by the press, the public wasn't ready for it. It was also expensive to produce and the performance and fuel consumption was lacklustre. Only 6 examples were made.
40
The Model 40 was Wikov's most successful model. From 1933 to 1935, 330 examples were produced. The 1942 cc four-cylinder engine produced 43 hp. It had a choice of two bodies, a four- or six-seater saloon.
In 1934, Czech racer, Adolf Szczyzycki won the 1000 mil československých (1000 Miles of Czechoslovakia) in the 2000 cc class using a Wikov 40.
70
The Model 70 was the largest model. Only four prototypes were produced from 1933 to 1935. It combined two four-cylinder engines borrowed from the Model 35 which resulted in a 3486 cc eight-cylinder engine producing 70 hp.

Narasingam Yoga Narasimha Perumal Temple
Narasingam is a village located 8 km from Madurai on the road to Melur, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is named for the nearby cave temple dedicated to Yoga Narasimha Perumal, at the foot of the Yanaimalai hills. This temple was constructed in 770 CE by Madurakavi alias Marankaari who was the minister of the Madurai King Parantaka Nedunjadaiyan. There is a front mandapam (court). The sculpture of Narasinga Perumal is carved out of the hill itself. The temple is a good example of the cave sculpturing of the Pandya Kingdom. In front of this there is a stone temple for the goddess Narasingavalli. This place is situated between two holy places — Alagar Koyil in the north and Thirumohur in the east.
Legend
According to the Sthala Purana for the Madurai Koodal Azhagar Temple, sage Romasa had installed the Narasimha icon in a cave in the hill. And the 87th chapter of the Uttara Kanda of the Brahmanda Purana says the sage did penance on the banks of the Padma Thadagam, as it was filled with lotus flowers, near the Gajagiri Kshetram (the present Anaimalai) seeking progeny, and wanted the Lord to appear in His Narasimha avatar. The Lord appeared as Ugra Narasimha and the heat that emanated from Him was unbearable. Even the celestials were affected by it and they all came to Gajagiri Kshetram and prayed to the Lord to calm down. The Lord could not be pacified and then they sought the help of Prahlada, whose arrival quietened Him to some extent. They prayed to the Goddess Mahalakshmi, who also took Her abode in Him as Narasingavalli, after which He became Yoga Narasimha. The Lord later granted the boon sought by the sage.
According to another legend, Lord Siva was afflicted by Brahma Hathi Dosham (a curse that descends upon a Hindu if he murders a Vedic Brahman) after He plucked one of the five heads of Lord Brahma. He was relieved of it after He took a bath in the holy water source there, also known as Chakra Theertham, and He worshipped Lord Narasimha. It is believed that taking a dip in the Chakra Theertham, which is near the temple, rids one of all sins.
Thiruvilayadal Purana
The Thiruvilayadal Purana, written by Perumbatta Puliyur Nambi and later amended by Paranjothi Munivar, says that the Chola king, who could not win the battle against the Pandya ruler, sought the help of Jains. They created a giant elephant using their mystic powers and directed it to kill the Pandya king and destroy his capital. But the Pandya prayed to Lord Siva to save him and his capital. The Lord sent to him the "Narasinga Asthram" (the eight lettered word Namonarayana), which turned the elephant into a hill. To commemorate this event, a stone elephant was installed in Madurai near the Vaigai facing the north, which is found near the Yanaikkal bridge even today. Inscriptions in the cave temple say that Maran Kari, the minister of the Pandya king, started the construction of the temple in 770 CE, which remained unfinished, either due to his death or due to some other calamity, and was completed by his brother Maran Eyinan later. He also built the Muka Mandapa and consecrated the temple.
Architecture
The fort around Azhagarkoil is also known as Iranyan Kottai, and even now a stone icon of Lord Yoga Narasimha is found atop its entrance. A big icon of Yoga Narasimha, found in the outer prakaram (closed precincts of a temple) of the Azhagarkoil temple, known as "Jwala Narasimhar", is said to be ferocious. To pacify Him, regular Thirumanjanam (a bathing ritual) is performed with gingelly oil. A hole is found in the ceiling above the icon which is believed to let out the fire emanating from it.
The foot of the hill, where the Narasimha temple is located is known as Narasingam or Hasthigiri or Gajagiri. There one may find the Maha Mandapam, Garuda Mandapam and Mukha Mandapam of the Pandya period. The shrine of the Goddess Narasingavalli faces south, at the entrance. Inscriptions say that there was also an agraharam for Vedic Brahmins, but there is no trace of it now. The temple bustles with activity during the Narasimha Jayanthi festival, and on Masi Maham day, when Sri Kalamega Perumal of Thirumohur visits this place for the Gajendra Moksha festival. The temple is unique for its utsava icon of Narasimha in a standing posture with the Sudarsana and Panchajanya in His upper two hands while the left lower hand holds the Gathai (club weapon) and the right is in the Abhaya Hastha posture (blessing pose).
Inscriptions
The inscriptions at the temple are in ancient Tamil, Brahmi and Vattezhuthu. There are two inscriptions of Srivallabha Pandya (1101-1124 CE), which speak about the gifts made to the temple. There are also inscriptions of later Pandyas and one of them, belonging to the rule of Sundara Pandya, (1216-1238 CE) gives details about his conquest of the Chola country. Another inscription says that land gifts were made at Iyakkimangalam village for conducting the festival in the Anaimalai Temple. Later inscriptions are mostly incomplete. The Yoga Narasimha icon at the temple is six feet high, sculpted on the hill itself. | WIKI |
Subarachnoid Haemorrhage
A subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a form of stroke in which bleeding occurs into the fluid-filled space surrounding the brain (called the subarachnoid space). It is usually caused by the rupture of a small berry-like swelling (called a berry aneurysm) on one of the arteries in the brain.
SAH is a medical emergency. It is also a catastrophe: half of people who have SAH will die, and around half of the survivors are left with significant disability.
An SAH occurs when there is bleeding around the brain into the subarachnoid space. This is a space between two of the protective layers which surround the brain. These are the pia mater, which covers the brain directly, and the arachnoid mater, which is separated from the pia mater by a space filled with fluid. This fluid, the cerebrospinal fluid, is there to cushion and protect the brain from injury.
The bleeding usually comes from a burst (ruptured) berry aneurysm, most commonly at the back of the brain. Berry aneurysms are small berry-shaped swellings on the arteries which supply the brain, usually at a junction where an artery divides into two. These are relatively common in the general population, particularly in older patients, although most never rupture.
brain and meninges
SAH is a catastrophe. Many people who have an SAH will die, sometimes before reaching hospital. Most others will be left with some degree of permanent disability. This is due to the damage caused to the brain by the initial bleeding and by the shortage of oxygen to the brain which follows it. About 1 in 4 people survive SAH well enough to live independently. This is more likely if the bleed is small, if initial symptoms are less severe and the patient is younger.
• SAH usually affects adults under the age of 60 years, with the average age of affected patients around 50 years.
• Children are not usually affected.
• Women are affected slightly more often than men.
• Patients of African descent are slightly more commonly affected than patients of Caucasian descent.
• The condition is also more common in Finland and Japan, where the rates are around three times those in Europe.
• Patients who smoke, use excessive alcohol or have high blood pressure are at greater risk.
• First-degree relatives of people who have had an SAH are at greater risk.
• Around 6-10 people of every 100,000 per year will have an SAH.
• SAH causes around 6 out of 100 of all strokes.
• This makes SAH relatively rare - but hugely important. It is a very disabling and dangerous type of stroke and it tends to affect younger patients more than other strokes.
More than 8 out of 10 cases of SAH are caused by the bursting (rupture) of berry aneurysms. About 1 in every 25 adults will have one or more berry aneurysms. However, an SAH rupturing is a relatively rare event.
Larger berry aneurysms (bigger than 7 mm) are more likely to rupture (smaller ones can grow larger over time). Rupture is more likely to occur if the elastic tissue in the walls of the berry aneurysm is weakened or strained by:
• Uncontrolled high blood pressure.
• High alcohol use.
• Smoking.
• Cocaine use.
• Certain inherited conditions which cause weakening of the blood vessels. These include autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). These conditions cause only 1-2 in every 100 cases of SAH.
Other causes of SAH, accounting for fewer than 2 out of every 10 cases, include:
• Head and neck trauma, when bleeding from injury to the brain or the structures around it can track into the subarachnoid space.
• Abnormal blood vessels such as those that may be present in a brain tumour.
• Brain infection such as encephalitis.
• Vasculitis, when blood vessels inside the brain become swollen and inflamed. This can occur either due to infection or to conditions affecting the immune system.
Headache
• The most characteristic feature is a sudden explosive headache.
• In 1 in 3 patients this will be the only symptom (the rest will have other symptoms as described below).
• The headache is severe, often described as the most severe headache ever experienced. It is sometimes referred to as a thunderclap headache. However, the term thunderclap headache is more commonly used for some other types of sudden headache, including primary sexual headache.
• Usually the headache lasts for a week or two. It is usually a dull, all-over headache. It may occasionally last only a few seconds or even less. The person may even look round and accuse someone of hitting him on the back of the head.
• About 1 in 10 sudden explosive headaches are found to be due to SAH.
If you have an episode of sudden severe headache - coming on in minutes or less and being worse than headaches you have normally experienced - seek medical advice at once.
Being sick (vomiting)
Vomiting is very common in SAH. Vomiting also occurs with migraine and with other severe headaches. However, if you have an unusually severe sudden headache with vomiting you should seek medical advice.
Seizures and altered consciousness
A few people with SAH have a seizure due to irritation of the brain by the bleeding. Confusion or altered consciousness may also develop. If someone is unconscious they cannot tell you they have a headache. If someone complains of a severe headache then becomes unexpectedly drowsy, make sure that medical attendants are aware that the headache came first, as this suggests SAH.
About 1 in 10 people with SAH have some warning signs in the days or hours before the SAH occurs. The most common are:
• Brief sudden headaches (the most common symptom).
• Dizziness.
• Eye pain.
• Double vision or lost vision.
• Loss of sensation or movement.
These symptoms may be caused by early small leaks of blood from the aneurysm as it starts to burst (rupture). However, they may not last long, and of course they may not be recognised as possibly serious by doctors or patients.
Treatment of SAH
Initial treatment is aimed at:
• Stabilising the person.
• Preventing further bleeding
• Preventing further brain injury.
Medicines are used to:
• Reduce blood pressure and improve blood supply to damaged parts of the brain.
• Prevent seizures which can worsen brain damage.
Surgery is used in some patients:
• People with SAH are usually referred to a specialist neurosurgical unit.
• Treatment may not always be appropriate. Sadly, in some cases, assessment will show that severe brain damage has already occurred. If this is the case, there is no further treatment that can help.
• If treatment is to go ahead, it usually consists of blocking off the aneurysm, either:
• Through blocking it from the inside by using a special platinum coil; or
• Through clipping it closed.
Patients need to be monitored for some time to avoid complications. These are fluid on the brain (which can be drained), further shortage of oxygen to the brain and low blood pressure.
Long-term management of SAH
This is aimed at:
• Reducing risk of recurrence - treating high blood pressure, reducing alcohol intake and, if the person smokes, stopping smoking.
• Specialist rehabilitation service for disabilities.
• Not everyone can be saved. Irreversible brain damage can occur before the patient reaches medical help. Only half of affected people will survive the first month.
• In those who survive the first day, the risk of further bleeding is still very high.
• Between four weeks and six months after the SAH, the risk of having another SAH gradually decreases, although it never returns completely to zero.
• Improvement will continue for about 18 months after the SAH.
• Most affected people will have some impairment but some do well.
• The things which increase the chance of doing better are:
• A smaller bleed.
• A younger age.
• Remaining conscious at the time of the SAH.
• The overall death rate is about 1 in 2.
• Of those who survive a third will be dependent on carers.
• In a survey of patients who survived SAH and were interviewed several years later:
• 1 in 4 had stopped working.
• 1 in 4 worked shorter hours or had a position with less responsibility.
• 1 in 4 said they had completely recovered.
• Personality change is common after SAH, most often increased irritability or increased emotional swings.
It is not known why some people with berry aneurysms in the brain go on to develop SAH. However, it is known that certain avoidable risk factors make it more likely:
• High blood pressure
• Smoking
• Excessive alcohol intake
• Cocaine use
Avoiding these risk factors is the first way to reduce the risk of SAH.
The factors that affect the health of the walls of your brain's (cerebral) blood vessels are the same factors that affect your risk of heart disease (cardiovascular risk). Therefore, lifestyle measures which generally reduce cardiovascular risk will help prevent SAH. These include
Berry aneurysms are common. They are present in around 4 in every 100 adults, being more common with greater age. They are probably the result of wear and tear on the cerebral arteries at their point of greatest weakness - the point where they divide into two.
Aneurysms less than 7 mm in diameter tend not to burst (rupture). An aneurysm probably behaves rather like a balloon. When you blow up a balloon you reach a point when the elastic strength of the balloon wall 'gives' and the balloon expands more quickly because the wall is weakened. It seems likely that the same happens to an aneurysm, and that it's only when it grows in this way that it risks rupture. Why some aneurysms grow is not fully understood - but it seems likely that high blood pressure and smoking contribute.
If you have an aneurysm which is less than 7 mm in size, you may be advised that, as long as you keep your blood pressure well controlled and maintain a healthy lifestyle, your risk of SAH is no greater than that of the general population. The decision is more difficult if your aneurysm is larger than 7 mm, or you have several aneurysms. You might be offered repeat scanning, at intervals, to see if your aneurysm is growing, and to review the decision.
The alternative is to clip or block the aneurysm, even whilst it is small. The risks of surgery are significant, particularly if you are older. The risk of rupture also increases with age. These are not easy decisions.
Incidentally found aneurysms
Because they are common, berry aneurysms are often found incidentally. That is, you are found to have a berry aneurysm when having a CT scan for another reason. If this happens you will need specialist advice as to whether you need to consider operative treatment for your aneurysm. Many factors will be taken into account when advising you, including:
• Your age.
• The number of aneurysms you have.
• Where the aneurysms are.
• How large they are.
• Any underlying conditions that might put you at greater risk.
People who have had an SAH and who have unruptured aneurysms
Those who have already had an SAH are usually offered treatment for other aneurysms, as they have already proved that they have aneurysms which tend to grow.
Screening is sometimes offered to first-degree relatives of patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). However, very few apparently dangerous lesions are found and so this is probably not a good use of resources or time. It is likely that the period of time between an aneurysm starting to 'look' dangerous (because it has grown) and it actually bursting (rupturing) is short. Therefore, screening is unlikely to catch aneurysms at this stage.

With simple and visualized pull-down menu, system administrators can get started easily even if they are not familiar with Docker commands. Administrators can evaluate the resource requirement from R&D team and allocate GPU resources by creating, deleting, starting, or suspending Docker images or Containers in the shortest time.
(2) Real-Time GPU Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of all managed GPU systems, including CPU, memory, GPU and GPU memory usage, the current GPU system occupancy and available resource status. GDMS can assist system administrators in allocating GPU resources more flexibly and efficiently.
(3) Multiple Modes
GDMS supports ”Share Mode” and “Exclusive Mode”. You can adjust resource allocation flexibly according to your project computing requirement by sharing single GPU to multiple users or occupy multiple GPUs for a single project. The “Share Mode” can be used for AI training in the enterprise. Without the need to purchase one system for each person, the enterprise can speed up the training of AI personnel; the “Exclusive Mode” is ideal for large-scale AI project development, and it provides respective GPU resources for different teams in the enterprise. The development environments of each team are independent and will not interfere with each other. .
(4) Support Various Development Scenarios
GDMS supports users building project development environment through SSH connection or various platforms such as Jupyter Notebook. It includes a variety of pre-installed project development tools such as matplotlib to accelerate the startup of enterprise AI projects. In addition, GDMS can also open assigned ports in your customized Docker images.
(5) Scheduling
GDMS provides task scheduling management so that system administrators can set schedules for GPU systems or projects in advance to ensure smooth resource management even if they are not at work. It also supports daily, weekly, or monthly schedule for regular system maintenance.
(6) Support Connection to Storage System
When the enterprise has a storage system for access to project data, GDMS supports connection to your storage system. Data and project programs can be stored based on the established management structure within the enterprise. In this way, the enterprise can reduce data transfer time or security related concerns.
Scenario 1: Department A applies for the use of two GPUs with at least 11GB for project development.
How can the system administrator use GDMS to meet the needs of Department A?
First, the system administrator must create a project under “Exclusive Mode” (Multiple GPUs for a single user) for the newly added Containers of Department A. While creating a project, the system administrator can limit the number of containers and GPU levels under the project.
After creating the new project, you can add a container under the project. Since Department A applied for the use of two 11 GB GPUs, you can see that there are two GPUs that meet the specifications under the gs1020 system
After choosing the GPU, you must then select the AI framework. GDMS combines Leadtek WinFast GPU system, and each system is loaded with RTX AI Software Pack, administrators can choose the pre-installed AI framework directly. If you need to use jupyter notebook, you can also add a Container after selecting the function.
After the addition of the Container environment, the system administrator can provide Container connection information to the contact person of Department A. GDMS also supports report printing of multiple Containers to provide convenient information transmission. Containers in “Exclusive Mode” provide a path to access data by default, which can be viewed on the “View Container” Information page. If the enterprise has purchased storage devices such as NAS, GDMS also supports storing the developed code and data in the storage device.
The developers of Department A can launch the AI development platform through the information provided by the system administrator. This group of Containers include two 11 GB GPUs, and the AI developers can start their work immediately.
The system administrator can monitor the status of the hardware information including the GDMS server, GPU node status, Container status, and GPU node hardware information in real time from the “Overview” page. The health and usage of the current overall system and managed GPU nodes are visible at a glance with the intuitive dashboard.
GDMS home page: GDMS server status
GDMS homepage: GPU node and Container status
Scenario 2: Department B needs to conduct AI training for newcomers.
The GPU memory requirement of each newcomer is only 3GB, but they need a training environment for 6 people.
The system administrator first creates a "Share Mode" project (Single GPU for multiple users) for the Containers in training platform of Department B.
After creating a new course project, you can add a container for education and AI training. Unlike the”Exclusive Mode”, the ”Share Mode” provides the “Manual” option for setting the Container one by one and the “Automatic” option for launching the Container automatically. ”Share Mode” is very convenient when setting a multi-person training environment, which can avoid deploying the Container one by one. GDMS will automatically search for qualified hardware resources, so system administrator do not need to waste time accessing each GPU node and searching for available resources. The following picture shows how to set up 6 Containers using 3GB GPU memory each in ”Share Mode”.
Select the AI framework and start the Container. The system will search for idle resources according to the scheduling order and open the Container one by one. Department B selects NVIDIA DIGITS for image recognition courses, so that members can learn how to build AI models through the web interface.
Each member connects to their respective course environment through an IP and port to start the course (shown as below). The environment used by the members will not interfere with each other. Through GDMS allocation, the 11GB GPU will be evenly allocated to 3 students to ensure that everyone has enough hardware resources for AI practicing.
Other functions
GPU Node Group and Management
GDMS can administer the managed servers in groups, so that the system administrator can set the GPU nodes under a specific group for task scheduling, such as startup, shutdown, system restart or Docker image update. On the managed GPU nodes, the GPU usage status and the number of Containers currently used under the GPU can be viewed, which provides transparent resource management. The GPU node management page contains the GPU node name, IP, CPU and GPU usage
AI Project Management Page
In addition to adding, editing, and removing projects, the project management page can also control all projects and the Containers in the project. The system administrator can also start or pause the entire project or individual Container to avoid long-term occupation of hardware resources.
Customized Docker Image Creation
GDMS can utilize the 12 pre-loaded Docker Images in the WinFast RIX AI workstation/server (please refer to Leadtek AI Forum article "WinFast RTX AI Workstation Software User's Manual"), or your customized Docker Images. When AI developers feel the default AI framework is insufficient for their project, they can make their own Docker Image. Usually, the customized Docker Image is packed into a tar file, and GDMS can upload this file to all GPU nodes. After completion, the AI developers can directly select this Docker Image for GDMS project deployment.
Scheduling
GDMS provides task scheduling management so that system administrators can set schedules for GPU systems or projects in advance to ensure smooth resource management even if they are not at work. It also supports daily, weekly, or monthly schedule for regular system maintenance.

An NFL player went on Facebook Live from the locker room and nothing good happened – TechCrunch
Yesterday after the Steelers upset the Chiefs in an AFC playoff game, Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown decided to go on Facebook Live from the locker room to celebrate with his fans. And the fans loved it – he went live for 17 minutes and had almost 900,000 views within just a few hours, before the video was deleted. A player using technology to celebrate directly with his fans in real-time. Great, right? Not so much. A few things. First, the NFL’s social media policy prohibits players from using any form of social media starting 90 minutes before the game starts, up until after the post-game press conference end. While no fine has been announced yet, ESPN’s Adam Schefter noted the a league official said Brown “could be fined” for the video stream. Secondly, the NFL’s broadcast partners are contractually the only ones allowed to shoot video in the locker room after a game – teams and even the league itself can’t even use that footage until 24 hours after the game ends. And while this incident probably isn’t big enough for NBC (who broadcasted the game) to complain to the NFL, it’s definitely a sign of potential issues in the future as livestreaming becomes a more important part of our social media culture. And lastly, NFL locker rooms are traditionally pretty off-limits when it comes to the press and access to the outside world. Football is a competitive sport, and confidential plays, speeches and interactions give teams the advantage they need to win. So you could imagine how upset the Steelers were when they found out that the Facebook Live broadcast captured audio of Head Coach Mike Tomlin’s post game speech happening in the background. Tomlin’s very NSFW speech (which you can find on YouTube) was basically a minute long rant against the Patriots (and their Microsoft Surface hating coach Bill Belichick), who the Steelers will play next week. While I’m sure stuff like this is being said in all 32 locker rooms across the league, it’s still a bad look for Tomlin and the team. Oh, and of course Belichick was asked what he thought of the incident, since his team was the one getting trash talked. And in typical fashion his response was about as un-technologically savvy as it gets – saying that he’s “not on SnapFace”, and not worried about what they put on InstantChat”. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
How this website was made.
I’ve always been puzzled by the fact that although new technologies allow for, and indeed often preach, the free sharing of information and transparency of seemingly complicated processes, that I’ve not been able to track down a properly step-by-step idiot’s guide to making a website. I often wondered that if one of these were available then would it prevent the extortion that occurs quite regularly of artists by web designers who charge upwards of £100 a day for doing something that can easily be learnt oneself?
In an attempt to help rectify this I have produced in the following paragraphs a step-by-step guide written by an idiot – me – explaining how I went about setting up this website. I hope it’s useful but please don’t sue me if it blows up your computer or erases large chunks of the internet.
1. Buy server space and domain name.
In order to have a website that isn’t a blog or wordpress (which are great free options) then you need your own webspace. I got mine from http://www.dreamhost.com/ (look in 'web hosting' in the 'hosting' section). You can get a cheap package that includes a domain name for something like $10 per month. It’ll give you plenty of space and all the support you need to run the software below. A domain name (e.g www.andyabbott.co.uk) is included in this which will automatically point to the server space.
2. Website building application.
Unless you want to learn lots of html code then you might, like me, prefer to use some readymade website building software. Indexhibit is free and means you have something that feels somewhere between making your own website and maintaining a blog. Go to http://indexhibit.org/ and look in downloads section and download Indexhibit CMS v0.70e which is the first thing on the list. You want the plug-ins also (especially the horizontal exhibition format one) but they aren’t essential.
3. Installation of Indexhibit.
This bit is quite complicated and luckily they have a ‘guide for dummies’ on their website: http://indexhibit.org/help/installation-for-dummies/. If you follow this you will be guided through some of the steps above and also get a FTP client application. I use Cyberduck. The info you need to log on to Cyberduck is provided to you in an email from Dreamhost when you set up your account with them.
The bit that is still left unclear even in the Indexhibit guide is the exact info you need from the server client (Dreamhost in this case) to finish the installation. It isn’t just the username and password you use to manage your account; you have to set up a new ones relating to a ‘mySQL database’.
What I did was go to the Dreamhost main page. In ‘Goodies’ choose ‘mySQL database’. At the bottom of this page you can create a new mySQL database. Choose a name for the database – something like ‘andyabbottwebsite’ – and then create a NEW username and password for specific access to this database. Then click ‘create database’. It says ‘success’ but your database doesn’t appear. Just click ‘add new database now’ and it’ll appear.
When you go to install Indexhibit follow the instructions from the ‘dummies guide’ they provide, changing the permissions and then entering the website address to start installation process. Note that when you copy Indexhibit to your server space via Cyberduck you should only copy the contents of indexhibitv070e folder (‘files’, ‘htaccess’, ‘index.php’ and ‘ndxz-studio’) and not the ‘indexhibitv070e ‘ folder itself like I did first time round.
4. Getting ‘in’ to Indexhibit.
Assuming the permissions have been set the page you get to that requires info has a number of boxes.
First box is ‘exhibition name’ which you can call whatever you like: ‘andyabbott’ would make sense in my case. Second is ‘database server’ (this is the ‘Hostname’ address which can be found above your list of databases e.g mysql.andyabbott.com.). Third is the ‘Database name” (this is the one you chose to name the ‘new mySQLdatabase’ in step 3 – in this example ‘andyabbottwebsite’). Fourth is ‘Database username” (this is the NEW one you chose above) and last is the ‘Database password’ (ditto; the one relating to your NEW username used to create the mySQL database.)
Then submit the details and you should be in! You always get given the same login and password for Indexhibit to begin with (username: index1 password:exhibit) which you should change immediately (go to ‘preferences’ on the Indexhibit back-end site) and then delete the install.php from your server space file as it says.
4. Making and customising the website
There’s no need to repeat the instructions from Indexhibit here: they can be accessed at http://indexhibit.org/tutorial/how-to-use/. With this you can put all your text, images and sections as you like. However, there isn’t a lot of immediately obvious instruction about how to customise your site meaning it looks really ugly and boring if you leave it in the default settings.
To customise the basic framework of the website requires that you alter a lot of code in the files provided by Indexhibit. This can’t be done through the nice usefriendly web interface used to add text and images though; it has to be done like ‘proper’ web designers, editing files by accessing them through Cyberduck. You’ll need a texteditor – I use Textwrangler.
First port of call for me is to find a template that has comments and instructions like the one found here: http://www.ednacional.com/indexhibit/index.php?/identity/theme/. Download this and then copy it into the ’site’ folder in ‘ndxz-studio’ via cyberduck. (this time you want to copy the whole folder across, not just the contents).
Once it is in there go to ‘settings’ on your indexhibit site and turn ‘advance mode’ on. Then you can choose ‘osd_commented’ as your theme. It’s very nice but you might want to change it. This is achieved by going to the ‘osd_folder’ where it was placed in ‘site’, opening it, choosing ‘style.css’ and clicking edit. It’ll then open and tell you which bits of code need replacing to change the font, size, some layout and colours. Then you can pretty much just tweak bits to make something more customised for you.
5. Expanding Menus
The final thing I wanted to do with my website was to have expanding menus on the left-hand side and it was such a pain in the arse to find out how to do that I thought it might be useful to write it down here. First go here: http://www.rosscairns.com/downloads/ and download both files. One of these is a set of instructions of how to modify the java script and php files and the other is the java script file itself. Follow the instructions but substituting ‘osd_commented’ for ‘sample’ as this is the theme that you are modifying. You can have as many collapsable menus as you like but you’ll have to write them down in that index.php so I just wrote about 20 a la:
setTimeout('move_up()', 1);
expandingMenu(0);
expandingMenu(1);
expandingMenu(2);
expandingMenu(3);
expandingMenu(4);
expandingMenu(5);
expandingMenu(6);
expandingMenu(7);
expandingMenu(8);
expandingMenu(9);
expandingMenu(10);
expandingMenu(11);
6. That’s it
You should be able to find all relevant info for tweaking bits of the css style sheet online. A colour chart with all the relevant codes is here http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colornames.asp and you can find and test fonts here http://www.typetester.org/. If you are a real beginner and need to know how to write code for links and embedding video and that sort of thing then that can be found here http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/ but actually Indexhibit means that you don’t have to know much of that!
Also, the amount of server space you have means you have plenty of space for building extra websites and hosting them in the same place to make the most of your money. Or perhaps offer some of that server space to a friend - spread the cost or, even better, be a generous soul!
Anyhow, this bit of writing has come out much more like a cack-handed tutorial than a document of my experience making a website but I hope it’s of some use and not too patronising. Why pay someone a load of wonga to do something you can do yourself on a spare afternoon with perfectly functionable results? You might then feel like you can reward yourself with some of that free beer all these open source guys seem to have a stash of. Cheers! | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

All b.g.c hits are scannos of either neigt or neige. There don't seem to be any legitimate hits. -- Prince Kassad 18:33, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
* This appears plausible to me, even if I don't find any traces of the nominative form in the net. That alone does not make it a non-word as Karelian is spoken by relatively few people in a backward part of Russia, and there's not so much of it in internet. But I found some uses of the inflected forms in quite noteworthy pieces of Finnish literature:
* the nominative plural has been used by the poet Eino Leino in his popular poem "Joulun neiet":
* ''Kulkevat korkeat neiet kolme kautta talvisen taivaan
* ''kylvävät lahjoja ihmislasten murheeseen ja vaivaan
* ''tekevät rikkaan rikkaammaksi, rakkaammaksi rakkaan
* ''heittävät mieronkin mittelijälle kannikan kerjuuvakkaan.
* the nominative plural and genitive singular "neien" appear several times in Kalevala, e.g. in its 24th poem:
* ''Silloin seppo Ilmarinen koppoi neien korjahansa,
* ''iski virkkua vitsalla, sanan virkkoi, noin nimesi:
* ''"Jää hyvästi, järven rannat, järven rannat, pellon penkat,
* ''kaikki mäntyset mäellä, puut pitkät petäjikössä,
* ''tuomikko tuvan takana, katajikko kaivotiellä,
* ''kaikki maassa marjan varret, marjan varret, heinän korret,
* ''pajupehkot, kuusenjuuret, lepän lehvät, koivun kuoret!"
* in another collection of old folk poems, "Kanteletar", the allative case is used in a poem ''Suomettaren synty ja kosijat" ("The birth of Finnish Maiden and her suitors") describing the creation of Finland:
* ''Hierelevi, hautelevi,
* ''Muna muuttui neitoseksi,
* ''Mikä neielle nimeksi--
* ''Sorsatarko, Suometarko?
* ''Ei ole Sorsatar soria,
* ''Suometar nimi soria.
* These examples are from the period of "national romanticism" when the artists were seeking the roots of Finnish culture in Carelia which was regarded unspoilt by foreign influences. Therefore it's also plausible that the word should be Karelian. It's close enough to Finnish words neitsyt: and neiti: to be borrowed into some pieces of Finnish literature. It should probably be tagged "archaic", "poetic" or both but I'm quite convinced that the word exists. --Hekaheka 03:13, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
* Further research revealed that this word is mentioned in the foreword to 1909 edition of Kalevala as an example of the Karelian language feature of adding -ut and -yt endings to certain words when they are used in poetry. Other examples of this form mentioned in this source: reki: > reyt, käki: > käyt, vesi: < veyt, kivi: > kivyt, meri: > meryt, neiti: > neiyt, veli: > veljyt, lehti: > lehyt, kesä: > kesyt, päivä: > päivyt, marja: > marjut, sampo: > sammut, sydän: > syämmyt etc. Many of these forms have been used in Finnish poetry, e.g. neiyt, veljyt, päivyt, kuuhut, yöhyt, immyt. At least one has entered standard Finnish: tiehyt: --Hekaheka 05:44, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
* What language is it??? --Mglovesfun (talk) 13:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
* Originally Karelian, but also Finnish due to its use in poetry. One hundred years ago, when the poems cited above were written, Karelian was regarded as a dialect of Finnish, and many Karelian words were adopted into Finnish during the heyday of Karelianism. I noticed that it was categorized as Estonian noun and corrected that. I also added a new Finnish section. I'm not an expert in Karelian and it appears that I made a mistake above. The forms neien, neiet, neielle are not forms of neiyt but an alternative declension for the synonymous word neiti:. But the second comment beginning "Further research reveals.." is still valid. --Hekaheka 17:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Looks passed to me. I'll remove rfv-tag, categorize also the Karelian word as "poetic" and copy this discussion to the Discussion page of the entry. --Hekaheka 16:32, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Mi (cuneiform)
The cuneiform mi, (also mé) sign is a distinctive sign in the wedge-stroke group, and is used as a syllabic for mi, me, and an alphabetic for m, i, or e; it is also a Sumerogram (capital letter (majuscule)) for MI, used for Akkadian language, "mūšu", night. MI, in the Epic of Gilgamesh, is used in (Chapters) Tablets I, II, III, and XII as either MI, or MI.MEŠ, a total of six times; other spellings of mūšu in other sections are alphabetic/syllabic, four times.
The sign can be found in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the mid-14th century BC Amarna letters. The signs usage in the Epic is as follows: mé-(1 time), mi-(126), MI-(9).

The easiest way to handle displaying bad data
by Jim
I’ve spent time on a few different projects recently where some simple changes helped to clean up some difficult parts of our code. Here’s an easy way to simplify your code.
Displaying the wrong thing
On a recent project there was some existing view code that expected to display a link to a person’s profile on another site.
But there was a problem where the link just wasn’t working properly. Some profiles properly linked to external sites, but some linked to a bad url.
Jim’s profile might have had a link like this: http://other.site.com/profile/123
But Amy’s profile had a link like this: http://mycompany.com/dashboard/other.site.com/profile/234
Do you see what’s wrong there? The link code was generated like this <a href="other.site.com..."> instead of including the important http:// in it.
The problem was that our database stored either value. While we could change the validation of the data on creation, we’d still need to ensure that existing data was handled properly.
Rather than processing all of our data and updating it, presenters are a perfect solution for this.
Clean up with SimpleDelegator
I wrote about delegate.rb secrets in detail on my blog but here’s a quick example of how you can use it right now to clean up some code.
Often Rails apps in particular end up with a lot of logic inside the views and this can quickly grow out of control. One way to simplify this is to create a presenter object which brings together the object you need from your controller and the view.
First, let’s change the controller.
Down below, we’ll go over how this can help you with more complex code, but let’s keep it simple for now. Take any of your basic controllers that look like this:
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
end
Change it to:
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
@presenter = UserPresenter.new(@user, view_context)
end
That’s the first small step, but it gives us a lot more flexability. One thing to note is that view_context method is the controller’s reference to the view that it will render. Let’s walk through the next step…
Building a Presenter
Make a user_presenter.rb file somewhere in your app directory (app/models is fine, and later you may choose somewhere else but this is fine for now).
require 'delegate'
class UserPresenter < SimpleDelegator
def initialize(object, view)
super(object)
@view = view
end
end
This creates a SimpleDelegator object which wraps (in this case) the @user from our controller. Since the links we displayed were acting incorrectly, let’s solve that.
First, I always want to use method names that make sense to me. SimpleDelegator provides the method __getobj__ to refer to the object that you’ve wrapped, but it’s ugly, and you or others may forget exactly what that means. From the start, I provide an alias for myself:
class UserPresenter < SimpleDelegator
alias_method :user, :__getobj__
end
Now I can use a method that makes things much clearer. So let’s get to the link fixing…
class UserPresenter < SimpleDelegator
def other_site_link
if user.other_site_link.match(/\Ahttp:\/\//)
user.other_site_link
else
"http://#{user.other_site_link}"
end
end
end
This simple change allows our presenter to handle the case where the “othersitelink” doesn’t have the “http://” prefix.
Now I can go to my view and change from @user to @presenter.
After that, it’s far easier to test that my presenter displays the correct information and handle when the database doesn’t.
Other Benefits
This was a very small example. I’ve seen many controllers with more than just one instance variable to handle data for the view.
A presenter gives you a single object to handle multiple items for your view. Instead of making a new instance variable, why not make a method on your presenter?
Try it out. Often we wait too long to make a new class to handle some behavior and in the case of our views, the code easily becomes unwieldy.
Stay tuned for more updates about handling code growth and business logic. In the meantime, what difficulty are you overcoming with your code?

Tissue microarray-based immunohistochemical study can significantly underestimate the expression of HER2 and progesterone receptor in ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast
The accuracy of immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis on tissue microarray (TMA)-based studies largely depends on the uniformity of the staining pattern for a given antibody and minimal intratumor heterogeneity of a given tumor. Our study was designed to investigate the concordance of expression in TMA and whole sections of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2 using IHC analysis for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast. Seventy-five consecutive cases of DCIS were retrieved, reviewed and used to construct the TMA. IHC analysis of the expression of ER, PR, and HER2 were performed on TMA and whole sections of the corresponding cases, and the results were compared. The specificity and sensitivity for TMA-based assays were 87.0, 75.9, 90.6 and 90.4%, and 76.1, 27.3 for ER, PR and HER2, respectively. The concordance and discordance were 89.3, 76.0 and 72.0%, and 6.7, 13.3 and 16.0% for ER, PR, HER2, respectively. The kappa values were 0.83, 0.89 and 0.42 for ER, PR and HER2, respectively. The non-concordance rates were inversely related to core number, with 46.67, 22.67 and 11.56% for one core, two cores, and three cores, respectively, per marker per case (p < 0.001), but not associated with tumor size. Our results showed that the intratumor heterogeneity and the number of cores have a great impact on the results of TMA-based studies. Increasing the number of tissue cores per case may help improve the accuracy and concordance with whole section results. Although TMA remains an effective tool for translational research, we should be cautious in our interpretation of these results.

Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
Overweight and obese people have a higher risk of getting cardiovascular (heart) disease (CVD). However, regular moderate physical activity reduces the risk of CVD. This study had two aims. Firstly, it looked at whether or not overweight people can reduce their risk of CVD (particularly the flexibility of their arteries; arterial stiffness) by including 30 minutes of brisk walking in three ten minute sessions on five days per week for six months. Secondly the study looked at the level of telephone contact needed by these individuals to help them maintain their increased activity.
Who can participate?
Overweight/obese people, aged 30-55, who were inactive (less than 30 minutes of moderate activity per day over the last six months).
What does the study involve?
Before starting the study, everyone taking part in the study had their height and weight measured. They also had the width of their waist, hips and upper arm measured. The researchers also measured the participants percentage body fat. Participants were randomly allocated into one of three groups. In the walking weekly group, participants were asked to include 30 minutes of walking into their normal routine on five days per week. They were told that the walking could be carried out in three bouts of ten minutes. They were contacted by telephone once per month to check that they were doing their exercise and to provide support. In the walking monthly group, participants were asked to include 30 minutes of walking into their normal day on five days per week, and were contacted by telephone once every week. This allowed the researcher to see if the more frequent telephone calls had an effect on the people’s adherence to the extra walking. In the dummy group, participants were asked to do some stretching and relaxation exercises every day. These exercises would have no effect on their CVD risk. They were contacted by telephone once per month to check that they were doing their exercises. At the beginning of the study, in the middle of the study (3 months in), at the end of the 6 month study and again 4 months after the study had ended, all participants were asked to write down what they had eaten over a given four days. These food diaries were used to check that the people on the study had not changed their diet over the course of the study. If the participants had changed their diet, then the researcher wouldn’t know if any changes to their CVD risk were due to the increased walking or due to the changes in their diet. Everyone taking part in the study was asked to keep their normal eating habits. At the beginning of the study, the end of the study and four months after the study ended the following measurements were taken. The participant’s fitness levels were measured by a treadmill walking test. A fasting blood sample was also taken and blood pressure was measured using an automated machine. The flexibility and stretchiness of the artery wall in the arm (arterial stiffness) was also measured.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There were no risks to the people taking part in the study and although the study may not have brought about any direct benefits to the participants, the results can be used by the researcher to determine the benefits of exercise carried out in short 10-minute bouts.
Where is the study run from?
University of Ulster (UK).

The effects of accumulated walking on cardiovascular disease risk factors in overweight and obese subjects
Acronym
Study hypothesis
The aim of the proposed study is two-fold. Firstly, it will investigate whether or not obese/overweight individuals can reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by incorporating 30 minutes of walking in shorts bouts into their daily routine. This risk will be measured using traditional measures such as fitness levels, blood lipids and insulin resistance but it will also include pulse wave velocity which is a novel non-invasive measurement of arterial stiffness. Secondly it will look at the level of contact required by the individuals from a support worker in order to sustain this level of exercise and be successful in modifying their daily routine to include 30 minutes of moderate exercise and will be based upon the Stages of Change model developed by Prochaska and Diclemente (1983).

Intervention
Control group:
The control group will be shown some stretching and relaxation exercises to do on a daily basis, the researcher will contact this group monthly either by telephone or text to check that they are doing their exercises. We anticipate that the actual stretching exercises will not alter the subject's activity levels, and monthly contact is included as an attempt to control for any 'attention effects' that might occur between the control and ER1.
Exercise Routine 1 (ER1) group:
The ER1 group, will be asked to incorporate 30 minutes of walking into their normal routine each day. They will be advised that this walking can be undertaken in three bouts of ten minutes each. This group they will be contacted by the researcher monthly to check that they are doing their exercise and also to provide support.
Exercise Routine 2 (ER2) group:
The ER2 group will be asked to incorporate 30 minutes of walking into their day, five days a week (as for ER1). However they will be contacted more regularly than the ER1 group (i.e. weekly rather than monthly). This will allow us to examine the usefulness of more regular contact on adherence and effect of intervention. As for ER1, contact will be by the researcher by text message or telephone to check that they are doing the exercises and to provide encouragement.

Primary outcome measures
Arterial Stiffness: this will be measured using Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), as an indirect measure of arterial stiffness. All PWV recordings will be on the same (left) arm for subjects, between the brachial and radial pulse sites of the arterial tree (identified by manual palpation). Pulse wave traces are calculated using the Labview program (Version 7.0).
Secondary outcome measures
1. Anthropometry: height, weight (used to calculate body mass index) and waist/hip circumferences will be recorded using standardised methods (Jones et al. 1986). Mid-upper arm circumference will also be measured. In addition percentage body fat will be measured using bioelectrical impedance.
2. Physical Fitness: physical fitness will be evaluated using a sub maximal treadmill-walking test, which will involve walking for 3 minutes at four progressive workloads (12 minutes total). Expired air analysis and heart rate will be used to predict maximal oxygen uptake and blood lactate will also be measured through a pin prick. Grip strength and flexibility will also be measured using standardised methods.
3. Blood Profiles: the role of abnormal lipids, inflammatory markers and homocysteine in the genesis of cardiovascular disease is well recognised. Thus fasting blood samples (30 ml) will be analysed for blood glucose, insulin (used to calculate homeostatic model assessment [HOMA]), lipids (total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol, low density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol and triglycerides), C-reactive protein (CRP - as a marker of inflammation), plasma homocysteine and related B vitamins and other novel CVD risk factors (including cholecystokinin [CCK], glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1], ghrelin [activated form], leptin, and adiponectin).
4. Blood Pressure: blood pressure will be measured at each sampling time point using an automated BP machine and taking the average of two measurements

Union des travailleurs tunisiens
Union des travailleurs tunisiens ('Union of Tunisian Workers') was a central trade union organisation in Tunisia. Founded in 1956, as split from the UGTT. UTT was founded by Habib Achour, who opposed the policies of UGTT General Secretary Ahmed Ben Sallah (which included radical nationalizations and a merger between the UGTT and the political party structure). However, as Ben Sallah resigned in December 1956 discussion on a merger between UGTT and UTT were initiated. A reunification congress was held in September 1957. | WIKI |

Introduction
The “War on Gangs” can be defined as a national movement to reduce gang-related activity, gang violence, and gang drug involvement on the local, state, and federal level. This term has been coined worldwide, mainly in South Africa and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the War on Gangs is very much a multi-lateral approach, as federal agencies seek to disrupt the cycle of violence through intervention while state police and social workers.
History
Historically, gangs surfaced in the United States as early as the 1820s, mainly in New York. Gang activity was still considered criminal, however, when drugs were made illegal in 1912 with the International Opium Convention, gang activity and drug trafficking increased. The United States saw a major increase in gangs during the 1970s and 1980s, due to population growth and the demand for drugs. Currently, there are an estimated 774,000 active gang members since 2008.
The Federal Level
Unfortunately, the War on Gangs is difficult at the federal level because there is no universal definition of what a “gangster” or a “gang” is. Only forty states define the term “gang” and fourteen states define the term “gang member,” so any enforcement of gang legislation is often enacted on the state level.
Although many gang enforcement and policing tactics are carried out on a state-by-state basis, there are federal programs that aim to address the War on Gangs. National agencies, like the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, have enacted programs that target gangs and gang related activities at the federal level.
Federal Legislation
At the federal level, the “Gangbusters Bill” of 2005, authorized increased federal spending to support federal, state and local law enforcement efforts against gang violence and shared intelligence and joint investigation
The State Level
The criminalization of those associated with such terminology falls solely upon the state magistrate, while the policing involves a cohesive effort by local, state, and federal authorities. The policing tactics implemented and aimed to disrupt, deter, and eliminate criminal street gang activity naturally varies from city to city and state to state depending on the size of the problem as well as legislation. However, the advancement of counterinsurgency technologies and strategies proven effective in militarized zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan has provided authorities with new ways to fight the “war on gangs” in America. Statistical analysis in conjunction with advanced military software can now provide lawmaking authorities with the type of information that maps connections between gang activities, individual suspects, their social circles, family ties, and neighborhood connections. Authorities now have the tools to deconstruct the culture of ‘criminal street gangs’ by not only identifying their territorial boundaries but criminal industries, politics affiliates both in and out of the penitentiary, gang code and ethics, as well as illegal activities.
Beyond the push for a national model providing a tactical framework outlining the methodologies behind the policing strategies of: prevention, intervention, intelligence, and suppression of criminal street gang activity, there is yet another arena where the “War on Gangs” continues to be fought, the political arena. Organized criminal street gangs such as 18th Street are boasting over 65,000 members and are believed to be operating in over 120 U.S. cities, 37 states, in addition to being considered an international crime organization linked to corrupt political insurgency. The Gangster Disciples is an organization with over 30,000 members in 35 states, employing themselves not only in drug trade but sponsoring political candidates, infiltrating police and private security agencies, and sponsoring protest marches.
The challenge to protect and serve those communities implicated in the “War on Gangs” has never been more complex. There is growing concern that as ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ comes to an end and soldiers with gang affiliations return from combat in Afghanistan and around the world, police will need to continue to find ways to combat this problem.
The Local and Community Level
Researchers have attempted to understand the theoretical implications for participation in gang activity. Many of them looked into the reasons why people join gangs. The most common reasons examined among gang researchers include factors such as socioeconomic status, peer-to-peer and parent-to-child relationships, and discrimination. For example, in 2007, California State University-Northridge professor Kay Kei-Ho Pih and three other university professors conducted a study examining the purpose of capital (drug trafficking) among Latino and Taiwanese gangs. Their findings showed that the Latino gang members were raised in poor neighborhoods, wanted to make quick and easy money from selling drugs, and did not receive support from their parents about their academic endeavors which led them to drop out of school or complete a GED. The Taiwanese gang members, on the other hand, came from higher socioeconomic statuses, prioritized their education, and sold drugs for recreation purposes. However, Hua-Lun Huang argues that gangs such as the Black Dragon Society and the Mexican Mafia could also form because of extremist ideology and political connections to government outside of the United States. In 2002, the Routine Activities Theory was used by California State University, Long Beach criminal justice professor, John Z. Wang in his case study about eight bank robberies in Houston, Texas, which states that crimes committed by gangs are influenced by three factors:
* one motivated offenders
* two the availability of suitable targets
* three the absence of capable guardians
Alternative Approaches to the War on Gangs
Several scholars suggest that alternative methods should be implemented in order to fight against the war on gangs including the development of community-based outreach programs instead of continuing to arrest potential gang members. For example, in 1998, Westminster Police Department director Douglas Kent and Claremont University professor, George Felkenes conducted a cross-sectional study on the cultural reasons why Vietnamese youth in Southern California join and participate in gang activity by interviewing over 250 Vietnamese youth and parents. Felkenes and Kent concluded their study with recommendations on how to initiate gang prevention programs:
* 1) one they are necessary and should be carefully planned
* 2) two they must focus on minority youth rather than the general public
* 3) three they should make the youth population view gangs in a negative light
* 4) four they should teach them how to cope with gangs in residential areas by avoiding their influence.
In addition, University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign criminologist, Jun Sung Hong in his 2010 study about the Bronfenbrenner ecological approach to understanding Vietnamese gangs in America states that “after-school programs and activities for youths, such as sports or job training opportunities might enhance pro-social behavior and reduce motivation to join a gang.” He also argues that professional organizations and practitioners should also educate government officials about the correlation between social conditions and the negative outcomes | WIKI |

Not a huge release or anything, but it adds some interesting stuff (in my opinion).
From the CHANGELOG:
• Export pprof info over HTTP, but only accept connections from localhost for
that information.
• Add statsd metrics for things like chef-client run timings (requires
reporting) and started/succeeded/failed, number of nodes, API endpoint
timings, various pieces of runtime info like GC pauses, RAM used, and number
of resources updated & total resources for client runs.
• Fix JSON decoding issue where very large numbers would suddenly turn into
floats.
The JSON number bug required a pretty specific set of circumstances to cause trouble; you needed a very large number (not a string), and it needed to be used somewhere where the very large number turning into a float would not be parsed correctly. Still, it can definitely be a problem, so you should probably upgrade.
The other items are more interesting. Goiardi now exports pprof info via /debug/pprof, but for safety's sake only to localhost. Even better, though, is how goiardi can send statistics about itself to statsd, which in turn can send it on to something like graphite so you can make nice visualizations about goiardi. See the relevant docs for more information. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

48 Eozoic tracts of continent were in the earliest times areas of deposition, and that the first elevations of land out of the primeval ocean must have differed in important points from all that have succeeded them; but they were equally amenable to the ordinary laws of denudation. Portions of these oldest crystalline rocks, raised out of the protecting water, were now eroded by atmospheric agents, and especially by the carbonic acid then existing in the atmosphere, perhaps more abundantly than at present, under whose influence the hardest of the gneissic rocks gradually decay. The Arctic lands were subjected, in addition, to the powerful mechanical force of frost and thaw. Thus every shower of rain and every swollen stream would carry into the sea the products of the waste of land, sorting them into fine clays and coarser sands; and the cold currents which cling to the ocean-bottom, now determined in their courses, not merely by the earth's rotation, but also by the lines of folding on both sides of the Atlantic, would carry southwestward, and pile up in marginal banks of great thickness, the débris produced from the rapid waste of the land already existing in the Arctic regions. The Atlantic, opening widely to the north, and having large rivers pouring into it, was especially the ocean characterized, as time advanced, by the prevalence of these phenomena.
Thus throughout the geological history it has happened that, while the middle of the Atlantic has received merely organic deposits of shells of Foraminifera and similar organisms, and this probably only to a small amount, its margins have had piled upon them beds of détritus of immense thickness. Professor Hall, of Albany, was the first geologist who pointed out the vast cosmic importance of these deposits, and that the mountains of both sides of the Atlantic owe their origin to these great lines of deposition; along with the fact, afterward more fully insisted upon by Rogers, that the portions of the crust which received these masses of débris became thereby weighted down and softened, and were more liable than other parts to lateral crushing. Thus in the later Eozoic and early Palæozoic times, which succeeded the first foldings of the oldest Laurentian, great ridges were thrown up, along the edges of which were beds of limestone, and on their summits and sides thick masses of ejected igneous rocks. In the bed of the central Atlantic there are no such accumulations. It must have been a flat, or slightly ridged, plate of the ancient gneiss, hard and resisting, though perhaps with a few cracks, through which igneous matter welled up, as in Iceland and the Azores in more modern times. In this condition of things we have causes tending to perpetuate and extend the distinctions of ocean and continent, mountain and plain, already begun; and of these we may more especially note the continued subsidence of the areas of greatest marine deposition. This has long attracted attention, and affords very convincing evidence of the connection of sedimentary deposit as a cause with the subsidence of the crust. | WIKI |
NAME Class::Accessor::Grouped - Lets you build groups of accessors SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION This class lets you build groups of accessors that will call different getters and setters. METHODS mk_group_accessors Arguments: $group, @fieldspec Returns: none Creates a set of accessors in a given group. $group is the name of the accessor group for the generated accessors; they will call get_$group($field) on get and set_$group($field, $value) on set. If you want to mimic Class::Accessor's mk_accessors $group has to be 'simple' to tell Class::Accessor::Grouped to use its own get_simple and set_simple methods. @fieldspec is a list of field/accessor names; if a fieldspec is a scalar this is used as both field and accessor name, if a listref it is expected to be of the form [ $accessor, $field ]. mk_group_ro_accessors Arguments: $group, @fieldspec Returns: none Creates a set of read only accessors in a given group. Identical to "mk_group_accessors" but accessors will throw an error if passed a value rather than setting the value. mk_group_wo_accessors Arguments: $group, @fieldspec Returns: none Creates a set of write only accessors in a given group. Identical to "mk_group_accessors" but accessors will throw an error if not passed a value rather than getting the value. make_group_accessor Arguments: $group, $field, $method Returns: \&accessor_coderef ? Called by mk_group_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec. Either returns a coderef which will be installed at "&__PACKAGE__::$method", or returns "undef" if it elects to install the coderef on its own. make_group_ro_accessor Arguments: $group, $field, $method Returns: \&accessor_coderef ? Called by mk_group_ro_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec. Either returns a coderef which will be installed at "&__PACKAGE__::$method", or returns "undef" if it elects to install the coderef on its own. make_group_wo_accessor Arguments: $group, $field, $method Returns: \&accessor_coderef ? Called by mk_group_wo_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec. Either returns a coderef which will be installed at "&__PACKAGE__::$method", or returns "undef" if it elects to install the coderef on its own. get_simple Arguments: $field Returns: $value Simple getter for hash-based objects which returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. set_simple Arguments: $field, $new_value Returns: $new_value Simple setter for hash-based objects which sets and then returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. get_inherited Arguments: $field Returns: $value Simple getter for Classes and hash-based objects which returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. This behaves much like Class::Data::Accessor where the field can be set in a base class, inherited and changed in subclasses, and inherited and changed for object instances. set_inherited Arguments: $field, $new_value Returns: $new_value Simple setter for Classes and hash-based objects which sets and then returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. When called on a hash-based object it will set the appropriate hash key value. When called on a class, it will set a class level variable. Note:: This method will die if you try to set an object variable on a non hash-based object. get_component_class Arguments: $field Returns: $value Gets the value of the specified component class. __PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('component_class' => 'result_class'); $self->result_class->method(); ## same as $self->get_component_class('result_class')->method(); set_component_class Arguments: $field, $class Returns: $new_value Inherited accessor that automatically loads the specified class before setting it. This method will die if the specified class could not be loaded. __PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('component_class' => 'result_class'); __PACKAGE__->result_class('MyClass'); $self->result_class->method(); get_super_paths Returns a list of 'parent' or 'super' class names that the current class inherited from. PERFORMANCE To provide total flexibility Class::Accessor::Grouped calls methods internally while performing get/set actions, which makes it noticeably slower than similar modules. To compensate, this module will automatically use the insanely fast Class::XSAccessor to generate the "simple"-group accessors, if Class::XSAccessor >= 1.06 is available on your system. Benchmark This is the result of a set/get/set loop benchmark on perl 5.12.1 with thread support, showcasing most popular accessor builders: Moose, Mouse, Moo, CAF, CAF_XS, XSA, and CAF_XSA: Rate CAG moOse CAF moUse moo HANDMADE CAF_XS moUse_XS moo_XS CAF_XSA XSA CAG_XS CAG 169/s -- -21% -24% -32% -32% -34% -59% -63% -67% -67% -67% -67% moOse 215/s 27% -- -3% -13% -13% -15% -48% -53% -58% -58% -58% -58% CAF 222/s 31% 3% -- -10% -10% -13% -46% -52% -57% -57% -57% -57% moUse 248/s 46% 15% 11% -- -0% -3% -40% -46% -52% -52% -52% -52% moo 248/s 46% 15% 11% 0% -- -3% -40% -46% -52% -52% -52% -52% HANDMADE 255/s 50% 18% 14% 3% 3% -- -38% -45% -50% -51% -51% -51% CAF_XS 411/s 143% 91% 85% 66% 66% 61% -- -11% -20% -20% -21% -21% moUse_XS 461/s 172% 114% 107% 86% 86% 81% 12% -- -10% -11% -11% -11% moo_XS 514/s 204% 139% 131% 107% 107% 102% 25% 12% -- -0% -1% -1% CAF_XSA 516/s 205% 140% 132% 108% 108% 103% 26% 12% 0% -- -0% -0% XSA 519/s 206% 141% 133% 109% 109% 104% 26% 13% 1% 0% -- -0% CAG_XS 519/s 206% 141% 133% 109% 109% 104% 26% 13% 1% 0% 0% -- Benchmark program is available in the root of the repository : Notes on Class::XSAccessor You can force (or disable) the use of Class::XSAccessor before creating a particular "simple" accessor by either manipulating the global variable $Class::Accessor::Grouped::USE_XS to true or false (preferably with localization, or you can do so before runtime via the "CAG_USE_XS" environment variable. Since Class::XSAccessor has no knowledge of "get_simple" and "set_simple" this module does its best to detect if you are overriding one of these methods and will fall back to using the perl version of the accessor in order to maintain consistency. However be aware that if you enable use of "Class::XSAccessor" (automatically or explicitly), create an object, invoke a simple accessor on that object, and then manipulate the symbol table to install a "get/set_simple" override - you get to keep all the pieces. While Class::XSAccessor works surprisingly well for the amount of black magic it tries to pull off, it's still black magic. At present (Sep 2010) the module is known to have problems on Windows under heavy thread-stress (e.g. Win32+Apache+mod_perl). Thus for the time being Class::XSAccessor will not be used automatically if you are running under "MSWin32". AUTHORS Matt S. Trout Christopher H.

Diseases Caused by Nitroglycerine
1. Introduction and Definitions
Nitroglycerine, also known as glyceryl trinitrate, is a heavy, colorless, oily, explosive liquid primarily used in the manufacture of explosives and as a medication for heart conditions. While its medical use is beneficial, occupational exposure to nitroglycerine can lead to serious health issues. This article provides comprehensive information on diseases caused by nitroglycerine, targeting occupational health nurses and doctors.
2. Agent Causes the Disease
Nitroglycerine exposure occurs mainly through inhalation of vapors or dermal absorption. In industrial settings, workers can be exposed during the production, handling, and disposal of nitroglycerine and nitroglycerine-based products. Prolonged or high-level exposure can lead to both acute and chronic health effects, primarily affecting the cardiovascular system.
3. Workers at Risk of This Disease
Several occupations and tasks put workers at higher risk of nitroglycerine exposure, including:
• Explosives Manufacturing Workers: Involved in the production and handling of explosives containing nitroglycerine.
• Munitions Workers: Handling and assembling munitions with nitroglycerine components.
• Pharmaceutical Industry Workers: Involved in the production of nitroglycerine-based medications.
• Chemical Plant Workers: Handling raw materials and byproducts containing nitroglycerine.
• Demolition Workers: Exposed to nitroglycerine residues during demolition activities involving explosives.
4. Symptoms
Symptoms of diseases caused by nitroglycerine exposure can vary depending on the level and duration of exposure:
• Acute Exposure: Symptoms include headache (often referred to as "Monday disease" due to its recurrence after weekends off), dizziness, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, and hypotension. Severe exposure can lead to methemoglobinemia, characterized by cyanosis and respiratory distress.
• Chronic Exposure: Long-term exposure can result in tolerance to the vasodilatory effects of nitroglycerine, leading to withdrawal symptoms such as chest pain and hypertension when exposure ceases. Chronic effects also include persistent headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.
5. Diagnosis
Diagnosing diseases caused by nitroglycerine involves a combination of clinical evaluation, occupational exposure assessment, and specific tests:
• Medical History and Physical Examination: Detailed assessment of the patient's work history and symptoms.
• Blood Tests: Including methemoglobin levels to assess methemoglobinemia.
• Cardiovascular Assessment: Monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, and conducting ECGs to detect cardiovascular abnormalities.
• Neurological Evaluation: For workers presenting with chronic headaches and dizziness.
• Occupational Exposure Monitoring: Measuring nitroglycerine levels in the workplace to assess exposure risk.
6. Treatment
Treatment for diseases caused by nitroglycerine focuses on managing symptoms and preventing further exposure:
• Remove from Exposure: Immediate removal from the source of nitroglycerine exposure is crucial.
• Symptomatic Treatment: Providing medications to manage cardiovascular symptoms, including vasodilators for hypertension and antianginal medications for chest pain. Methane blue may be administered for methemoglobinemia.
• Supportive Care: Including oxygen therapy for respiratory distress and hydration for hypotension.
• Gradual Withdrawal: To mitigate withdrawal symptoms, gradually reducing exposure rather than abrupt cessation.
• Long-term Monitoring: Regular follow-up to monitor cardiovascular and neurological health.
7. Prevention
Preventing diseases caused by nitroglycerine involves implementing strict control measures in the workplace:
• Engineering Controls: Using local exhaust ventilation, enclosed processes, and proper maintenance of equipment to reduce airborne exposure.
• Work Practices: Implementing safe work practices such as proper handling and disposal of nitroglycerine-containing materials, and avoiding eating, drinking, or smoking in areas where nitroglycerine is used.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Providing and ensuring the use of appropriate respirators, protective clothing, and gloves.
• Health Surveillance: Regular health screenings, including cardiovascular assessments and monitoring of methemoglobin levels for workers exposed to nitroglycerine.
• Education and Training: Informing workers about the hazards of nitroglycerine and safe work practices to minimize exposure.
By recognizing the hazards of nitroglycerine exposure and applying effective preventive strategies, occupational health professionals can substantially lower the occurrence of related illnesses and improve the overall health and safety of workers.
Workplace Exposure Limits:
• OSHA PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit):
• Time-Weighted Average (TWA): 0.2 ppm (2 mg/m³) [skin exposure].
• Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL): Not specified.
• NIOSH REL (Recommended Exposure Limit):
• TWA: Not specified.
• STEL: 0.1 mg/m³ (not to be exceeded during any 15-minute work period). | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Aminu's 28 points carry Blazers past Celtics
Aminu’s 28 points carry Blazers past Celtics PORTLAND, Ore. — The Boston Celtics’ game plan was simple Thursday night at the Moda Center: Blanket Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum and make their teammates beat them. It was the perfect time for Al-Farouq “Chief” Aminu to come through with the game of his career for the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran small forward scored a career-high 28 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots as the Trail Blazers pulled out a 116-109 victory over the Celtics. “Chief turned the game around for us,” said Lillard, who was held to 14 points on 3-for-16 shooting. “Not just because of the shots he made, but defensively, he was coming from the weak side, blocking shots, deflecting passes. “He hadn’t been shooting the ball all that great, but tonight when we needed him, he rose up and knocked ‘em down. He was our MVP.” McCollum added 17 points with eight assists, and Gerald Henderson came off the bench to contribute 15 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Trail Blazers, who won their third consecutive game overall and sixth in a row at home. Isaiah Thomas scored 22 points but made only six of 21 shots from the field and had five turnovers for the Celtics, who lost their second straight. Reserve guard Evan Turner had 14 points for Boston. Aminu, whose previous career high was 20 points, made 11 of 19 shots from the field, including a career-high six from 3-point range (on 11 attempts). “(The Celtics’) game plan was to make sure (Lillard and McCollum) had two defenders on them at all times.,” Aminu said. “They made the right reads, but that left me open. I just felt I was doing what I’m supposed to do.” Boston coach Brad Stevens said, “His 3-point percentage is pretty good, but it’s the volume plus percentage that you look at. If he’s going to shoot 11 threes and Lillard is going to go 3-for-16, you hope you have a better chance to win.” Thomas scored 13 first-half points and Turner added 12 to fuel Boston to a 58-54 halftime lead. Mo Harkness had nine points and eight rebounds for Portland at the break, but he didn’t score in the second half. The Celtics (43-32) stoked their lead to 75-64 midway through the third quarter. The difference was 81-71 when the Blazers used a 10-0 run to tie it late in the period. Boston carried an 83-81 edge into the final quarter. Aminu sank back-to-back 3-pointers to start the fourth quarter to give Portland an 87-83 lead. With Henderson leading the way, the Blazers built the margin to 102-89 with 8:02 to go. Boston responded with an 8-0 run to close within 102-97. Thomas knocked down a 3-pointer to make it 104-102 with 3:35 remaining. McCollum’s driving layup increased Portland’s lead to 107-102, but Thomas made a pair at the line to close it to 107-104 with 2:18 left. Amir Johnson’s tip-in cut the gap to 108-106 with 1:54 remaining, and Jae Crowder’s 3-pointer gave Boston a 109-108 lead with 1:08 to play. However, McCollum sank a fadeaway, then set up Aminu on a breakaway dunk to push the Blazers ahead 112-109 with 49.2 seconds left. Lillard went 4-for-4 at the line in the closing seconds to wrap things up for Portland (40-36). “It was important to get this one,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said. “We’ve done a good job protecting home court the second half of the season. For what we want to accomplish this season, we needed to win.” NOTES: F Jae Crowder, who missed the previous eight games with an ankle injury, was back in Boston’s starting lineup. He finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds in 35 minutes. “He’s a winning type of player,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said. “He does whatever they need him to do.”... The Celtics lost for just the fifth time in their past 11 visits to Portland. Boston defeated the Blazers 116-93 at the TD Garden on March 2. ... Since joining Portland’s starting lineup on March 23, F Mo Harkless was averaging 13.0 points and 5.7 rebounds while shooting .541 from the field through four games. ... Portland entered the night 20-10 in the last 30 games, tied for the fifth-best record in the NBA over that duration. The Blazers improved to 15-2 in their past 17 home contests. ... Boston went into the game leading the league in opponents’ turnovers (16.4 per game) and 3-point field goal percentage (.328) and second in steals (9.2 per game). | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Humans make mistakes. While they’re usually harmless, when it comes to building applications, these mistakes can be expensive and risky. This is why application testing is critical during development.
On top of that — untested code is broken code. While there are rare test case scenarios where a developer can’t trigger the expected output, everything else should be tested. When there’s a bug in the code, it’s likely to be in untested pieces of your codebase. Application testing ensures that a high-quality product is being delivered with few defects and less maintenance required — thus, reducing costs.
Application testing also provides executable documentation or specifications. Software project documentation can often be outdated, and many developers won’t read the documentation for a system as they prefer to work with the code. Well-written unit tests provide a functional specification of code. As a result, unit tests effectively become a significant portion of technical documentation.
In this blog post, I’ll cover some of the testing strategies you could implement using MUnit and explain the details of MUnit test coverage:
What is unit testing?
Unit testing verifies the functionality of a specific unit. It doesn’t require deployment into any special environment — such as a staging environment. There are two types of unit testing: structural and behavioral testing.
Structural testing requires knowledge of the implementation details of the API. It is based on the inner workings of an application and revolves around internal testing. Behavioral testing is the testing of the external behavior of the applications, also known as functional testing.
Using MUnit to unit test Mule applications
MUnit is Anypoint Platform’s dedicated unit testing tool specifically designed for Mule applications. It runs inside a Mule runtime, manually in Anypoint Studio, and automatically as part of the Maven-based CI/CD build process. MUnit is designed to create structural test cases as Mule flows. That means you can use components on top of MUnit and MUnit tool modules.
To begin using MUnit, you have to add these dependencies in this order on your pom.xml
Order of dependencies does matter in Maven because of how Maven resolves transitive dependencies. Otherwise, you will encounter an error. Below is an example of a correct order of dependencies in Maven:
Once imported, you can see the dependencies on your project explorer window in Anypoint Studio and components in Mule Palette.
Implement testing strategies using MUnit Tools
When designing testing strategies, it is important to build a comprehensive test suite of relevant tests for each Mule project. Below, I’ll explain how to implement a few of the most common testing strategies using MUnit:
Mock when
For read-only interactions to any external dependencies, invoking production endpoints is allowed (“sociable” unit tests). For write interactions, developers must implement mocks using MUnit Tools – Mock when.
Assertions
Assertions about the result are tested and recorded. Test assertions are those that test for adherence to the RAML definition in terms of data types, media types, and compare the expected result vs. the actual result of the test case.
I recommend exploring MUnit Matchers. These are a set of DataWeave functions to define assertion conditions for any value in an expression.
Validation
Validation should be added to each test case. There are a bunch of components you could use, such as the JSON and XML Validate Schemas and Validation Modules.
Spy on flow components
This is a scope to validate or assert the Mule event state before and after a flow component. Setting a spy processor tells MUnit to run a set of instructions (usually assertions or verifications) before and/or after the execution of the spied event processor.
Why is test coverage important?
I like to compare test coverage to the “armor” of my API to ensure that current and future changes are consistent, predictable, and reliable deployments or runtime operations. It provides an assurance that the existing logic won’t break if there are new changes.
You can measure how much a Mule application has been executed by a set of MUnit tests by counting the amount of event processors executed. There are two ways to enable the test coverage, manually in Anypoint Studio and as part of Maven by configuring the POM.xml.
The test coverage can be generated in different formats such as in a console, HTML, JSON, and Sonar (Sonarqube integration).
These measurements involve a number of metrics and I recommend always aiming for MUnit test coverage of 75% to 80% or above. To achieve the desired coverage, here is the diagram to explain.
Here is a sample of the full configuration to be set-up in POM.xml and in Anypoint Studio.
Throughout my journey with MuleSoft, MUnit has been my companion tool during my software development and testing phase. It catches the defects that I missed. Also, it ensures my work and other developer’s work is fully functional — giving me confidence to deliver a high-quality product to customers.

Types of Energy Physics Features
There’s a big quantity of energy packed into a little volume. In this manner, it can be less than one g, and it could even be negative. Physical quantities that assignment help online are completely specified by just giving out there magnitude are called scalars.
Substances composed of just a single sort of atom are called elements. Interchanging vortices on the exact same bubble is actually a 2D operationwhat makes the story 3D is that we are able to interchange vortices on various bubbles. Neutrons aren’t charged.

Astrophysicists have observed and documented the visual appeal of this energy that’s presently locked into nuclear power and chemical energy, at the start of the universe as we know it. This type of energy generation has become more and more common in the past couple of years. In this moment, you might not feel your best and you probably won’t have a lot of energy.
To learn how much you are able to save on your energy supply rate, put in your ZIP code to see current plans out there. Even better, it also provides lots of secondary advantages that aren’t immediately apparent. It creates lots of direct benefits with respect to emissions and efficiency, while also boosting the economy by making work in plant creation and operation.
The usage of nonrenewable sources of energy contributes to dangerous international warming effects which damage the entire planet. What’s more, in regards to solar energy, the whole process of electricity production is dependent on the light coming from sunlight. It isn’t simple to find out which of these various sources of energy is ideal to use.
The dams utilised in generating hydroelectric power also give rise to flood control and irrigation methods. The energy created by the possible power of tides is called tidal energy. While nuclear power remains a wonderful topic of debate regarding how safe it’s to use, and whether it is really energy efficient once you take into consideration the waste it produces the reality is it remains one of the main renewable sources of energy readily available to the world.
The quantity of energy a thing has can be provided a number. As a way to work an issue using Conservation of Energy, you should know either there are no considerable forces taking energy from the system or the size of those forces. There are other sorts of energy, but not how you’re suggesting.
Some physics professionals will devote many their time in the area, while others are going to stick to lab work. Physics also involves plenty of complex mathematics, so students who shy away from math are advised to look elsewhere when deciding on a college major. You will enhance your probability of being hired if you’re also qualified to teach classes like biology, general science, or math. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

The Growing Participator Approach (GPA) is an alternative paradigm for second language acquisition created by Greg Thomson. For GPA, the goal is not language acquisition, but participation in the life of a new community, which is constantly growing over time. Thus, GPA uses the terminology of a 'growing participator' instead of a language learner, and a 'nurturer' instead of a teacher. Theoretically, GPA draws upon James Wersch's sociocultural theory and concepts of mediated learning, along with Lev Vygotsky's zone of proximal development. In the language of pedagogy, GPA involves an approach, a method, and techniques.
Approach
Thomson suggests three dimensions of language learning (or participation) which are important for GPA.
Sociocultural Dimension
GPA views language as inseparable from the culture which supports it and the people who live in that culture and their relationships. This sociocultural dimension is fundamental. Thus, instead of learning language in isolation, the goal is to learn a new way of life (languaculture). Hence, GPA uses the terminology of "growing participators" rather than "language learners". The goal of a growing participator is to learn and grow into a new "languacultural world". This happens most effectively when a learner is operating within their growth zone (ZPD).
Cognitive Dimension
Drawing on fields of psycholinguistics, and noting that good comprehension of English speech requires a listening vocabulary of over 10,000 words, GPA emphasizes "massive comprehension vocabulary." However, instead of rote memorisation, GPA advocates for continual exposure, "encountering a massive amount of understandable speech over a long period of time", in order to slowly internalize vocabulary without trying to memorise one by one. Thus, GPA emphasises comprehension and listening far ahead of speech in the host language.
Temporal Dimension
All language programs emphasize time, but in GPA the focus is not on quantity of time, but on quality. GPA aims for at least 15 hours/week during which "people interact with me in my growth zone in their languacultural world." As a result, because a beginning learner's growth zone is that of a child, in order for GPA to be put into practice a dedicated native speaker must be hired in the early stages.
Language Acquisition in GPA
Based on these three dimensions, GPA's approach can be summarised as follows:
Method
The Six-Phase Program (SPP), created by Thomson, is "an idealised program to guide a growing participator into deep involvement with a community." It involves 1,500 hours of special-growth activities, assisted (initially) by a dedicated native speaker - who does not need to be a teacher. It is "structured in such a way that the activities become increasingly advanced as the user grows, and the activities are "keyed to the sociocultural/human-relationship changes and cognitive changes that the growing participator (GP) undergoes."
Techniques
GPA and the SPP utilise a wide array of techniques, such as TPR activities (in silence for the first 30-40 hrs), back and forth storytelling, wordless picture books, discussing speech acts with the use of resources such as Lexicarry, input/output flooding, ethnographic interviews, and extensive recording and playback for revision. | WIKI |

Uric acid at home - Online Ayurveda store| Buy ayurveda medicine & Ayurvedic product online at low price
What is Uric Acid?
Uric acid is a natural substance found in the human body. It is when the body breaks down purines, which are found in certain foods. Purines are found in many foods including meats, fish, and some vegetables. When you eat these foods, your body absorbs the purines and uses them to build new cells and tissues. Let’s read about this in detail.
What Causes Increased Uric Acid?
When we eat food with high purine content, there are chances of increased uric acid levels. Some of the foods that can lead to an increase in uric acid are. Foods high in purines, such as red meat, organ meat, seafood, and alcohol, can increase uric acid levels.
Symptoms of High Uric Acid:
High uric acid levels may not always cause symptoms, but some people may experience the following signs and symptoms:
Joint pain: High levels of uric acid in the blood can cause the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to inflammation and pain. This can be particularly common in the big toe, but can also occur in other joints.
Redness
Swelling
Mainly affects the big toes
Affects one joint at a time
Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis):
Flank pain
Nausea and vomiting
Blood in the urine (haematuria)
Colic pain (pain that starts and stops abruptly)
The increased uric acid in the blood does not indicate the need for Most people with high uric acid levels do not have any symptoms and do not require long term
Uric acid at home:
Drink plenty of water:
Staying hydrated can help to flush excess uric acid out of the body.
Drink plenty of water
Limit purine- foods:
Avoid or limit foods that are high in purines, such as red meat, organ meat, seafood, and alcohol.
Limit purine-rich foods
Eat a balanced diet:
Eating a diet that is in whole grains, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products may help to reduce uric acid levels.
Eat a balanced diet
Maintain a healthy weight:
Being overweight or obese can increase uric acid levels, so maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise may help to manage levels.
Maintain a healthy weight
Avoid alcohol:
Alcohol can increase uric acid levels, so avoiding or limiting alcohol intake may help to manage levels.
Exercise regularly:
Regular exercise can help to maintain a healthy weight, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health.
It is important to speak with a healthcare professional before any significant changes to your diet or exercise routine. If you are concerned about your uric acid levels or are experiencing symptoms, a healthcare professional can help to determine the appropriate course of

David Seymour (rugby union)
David Seymour (born 27 September 1984) is a retired rugby union player. A Flanker by trade, that had a successful career in the Aviva Premiership with Saracens and Sale Sharks.
Seymour joined Saracens on a full-time academy contract at the start of the 2004–05 season. But after only a few weeks of pre-season training, he was promoted to the first team squad and made his first full appearance as a replacement for Richard Hill.
He established himself as a regular in the first team and made his debut at England under-21 level in both the Six Nations and World Championships in Argentina. Further international honours have followed, Seymour having played for England 7s in the IRB Series in Dubai, Los Angeles and Hong Kong and claiming a silver medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. Seymour was called up to the England Saxons squad for the Churchill Cup in Canada.
Seymour started 13 games for Saracens in the 2007–08 season and appeared as a replacement 11 times. A knee injury at the start of the 2008–09 season restricted his appearances in the early stages of the season.
On 26 June 2009, after being released by Saracens, Sale Sharks announced that they had signed Seymour on their official website.
Seymour went on to make 196 appearances for the Sharks over nearly a decade and scored 19 tries for Sale alone. He also captained the side many times in a successful career at club level. Seymour has been retained in an ambassadorial role by Sale.
Seymour joined Sale FC Rugby for the 2018-19 season playing 26 league games and captained the side to win the Cheshire Cup against Chester RUFC in April 2019. | WIKI |
Selection of viability at loci controlling protein polymorphisms in Drosophila melanogaster is very weak at most.
T. Mukai, H. Tachida, M. Ichinose
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
18 Citations (Scopus)
Abstract
In an isolated Drosophila population the frequency of chromsomes carrying the second chromosome inversion In(2L)t is about 60%. Three isozyme loci are nearly monomorphic in the inversion-carrying chromosomes but are highly polymorphic in other chromosomes. From known recombination frequencies and the slight polymorphism, it is estimated that the inversion-carrying chromosomes are descended from one or a few identical chromosomes introduced about 1000 generations previously. This is long enougn for lethal and mildly deleterious mutants to reach equilibrium frequencies but not long enough for very weakly selected mutants. Because the difference in viability between homozygous and heterozygous chromosomes is the same, it is inferred that there is at most very weak selection of isozyme loci. This method is sensitive enough to detect selective differences of 0.0005 per locus or less.

Dovyalis caffra
Dovyalis caffra the Umkokola, Kei apple, Kayaba, Kai apple, or Kau apple, is a small to medium-sized tree, native to southern Africa. Its distribution extends from the Kei River in the south, from which the common name derives, northwards along the eastern side of the continent to Tanzania. The ripe fruits are tasty, reminiscent of a small apple.
It is a usually found in dry types of woodland when it grows to 6 m tall. In moister types of open woodland it reaches its greatest size of about 8–9 metres. A tree, with sharp, 3–6 cm long stem spines in the leaf axils, and large sturdy thorns. Buds at the base of the spine produce clusters of alternately arranged simple ovate leaves 3–6 cm long.
The flowers are inconspicuous, solitary or clustered, with no petals. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants, though some female plants are parthenogenetic.
The fruit is an edible bright yellow or orange globose berry 2.5–4 cm diameter, with the skin and flesh of a uniform colour and containing several small seeds. Production is often copious, weighing down the branches during the summer. They are juicy, tasty and very acidic.
Cultivation and uses
A traditional food plant in the areas it occurs, this little-known fruit has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable landcare.
Kei-apples are often eaten fresh or sprinkled with sugar to complement their natural acidity. Aside from being eaten fresh, the fruit can be made into jam, used in desserts, or pickled (their natural acidity means vinegar is not needed). In Kenya, it is mostly used for live fences and hedges.(Chiel) locally known in luo
Although it is native to southern Africa, it has also been introduced to the Mediterranean, California, Florida, and other regions with subtropical and warm temperate climates. In these places it is most often grown as an ornamental plant, being popular as an impenetrable hedge. It is salt and drought-tolerant, so useful for coastal landscaping in dry regions.
Although a subtropical species, the Kei apple is able to survive temperatures as low as -6 C. Gardeners who want fruit require a female plant; a fertile female plant and a fertile male plant is ideal. Kei apples are propagated by seed. Plants will bear about four years later.

Talk:National church
Please clarify the article topic
I just stumbled over this article, and it is not immediately clear to me from the hatnote above the lead section or from the lead section what the article is about. Is it about religious organizations which consider themselves to be national churches' in the ethnic sense" (quoting the hatnote) of some particular ethnic group or of some particular nation, about churches which are considered to be such by consensus of members of a particular ethnic group, by governmental dictate within a nation-state, or by some other measure?
I see that the article contains a table of countries in which it is asserted without support that the Philippine Independent Church is the "National church" (within the meaning of of that term this article) of the Philippines. The Philippine population is Catholic by a very large majority (probably something over 80% -- see the Religion in the Philippines article). In that particular case it seems to me as if that assertion re the designation of a national church (within the meaning of that term in this article -- whatever that might be) for the Philippines needs review. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:14, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
* I agree that the article is problematic. The table raises WP:SYN alarm bells -- each row is supported by a quote from a separate book. There is no guarantee that any one author cited had the same definition of "national church" as any of the others (or the same definition as the Wikipedia article, whatever that might be). In addition, there is no distinction between current and former status. I think the table format should really be abandoned as misleading; churches with state recognition as "national churches" could be discussed under state church, as is already done for the Church of Scotland. Churches which describe themselves as "the national church of X" are more problematic. In many cases it may be mere wishful thinking; even more credible cases may be controversial or contested by those who identify with the nation but not the church. What about the "national" Christian church in a majority non-Christian nation? Category:National churches is similarly problematic. jnestorius(talk) 17:13, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
* FWIW, here is one (very POV) source which offers two alternative definitions:
* What is meant by the phrase National Church? If it means confined to, and comprehended by, the nation, and governed solely and exclusively by the authority of the nation, ... the National Church of England did begin with Henry VIII. If it means that part of the Church which ... includes the people of a single nation, and has the lower and subordinate parts of its organization within the limits of a single nation, partaking of the spirit and characteristics and acknowledging the authority of that nation, then we may speak of it as a National Church [from Augustine of Canterbury].
* jnestorius(talk) 14:52, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
September 2017
would be nice to have more sources about the National church, I don't know about this term, but I would like to add more source only if I can get more information about this topic.AlfaRocket (talk) 14:05, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Safeguarding Cloud Territories: A Comprehensive Guide to Cyber Security
Navigating the Cloud Security Landscape: Understanding the Risks
In the realm of digital transformation, the cloud has emerged as a pivotal force, revolutionizing the way we store, process, and access data.
Yet, amidst the myriad benefits of cloud computing, security concerns loom large. As organizations increasingly entrust their sensitive data to cloud platforms, the onus of safeguarding it against malicious actors intensifies.
The cyber security landscape in cloud computing presents a unique set of challenges, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the prevalent threats.
Data Breaches: The unauthorized access and exfiltration of sensitive data from cloud networks and storage systems pose a critical threat to organizations. These breaches often stem from vulnerabilities in cloud configurations, unpatched software, or human error.
DDoS Attacks: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks overwhelm cloud resources with a barrage of malicious traffic, disrupting the availability of applications and services. A successful DDoS attack can cripple a cloud infrastructure, leading to financial losses and reputational damage.
Malware Infections: Malicious software, including viruses, trojans, and spyware, can infiltrate cloud environments through infected files, email attachments, or compromised websites. Once executed, malware can compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, and establish backdoors for future attacks.
Insider Threats: Negligence, malicious intent, or disgruntled employees within an organization can pose a significant security risk. Insider threats may have authorized access to cloud resources, making the detection and mitigation of their actions challenging.
Poor Security Practices: Inadequate security measures, such as weak passwords, outdated software, or insufficient encryption, can leave cloud environments vulnerable to exploitation. Neglecting security best practices can unintentionally create entry points for cybercriminals.
Recognizing these threats is the cornerstone of developing an effective cloud security strategy. By understanding the risks, organizations can prioritize their security investments and allocate resources accordingly.
Building a Robust Cloud Security Framework: Mitigating Threats and Securing Assets
Countering the myriad threats in cloud computing demands a multi-faceted approach, encompassing a range of security measures and best practices.
Implementing Strong Authentication Mechanisms: Employ robust authentication methods such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) to restrict unauthorized access to cloud resources. Regularly audit user permissions to ensure appropriate access levels are granted.
Securing Cloud Configurations: Adhere to security best practices when configuring cloud services. Use secure defaults, enable logging and monitoring, and configure access controls to restrict public exposure. Regular security audits can identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
Maintaining Software and Systems: Regularly update and patch software and operating systems to address known vulnerabilities. Implement a patch management strategy to ensure prompt updates and minimize the attack surface.
Encrypting Data: Encrypt data at rest and in transit to protect it from unauthorized access. Utilize encryption keys managed by the organization to retain control over sensitive data. Implement key management best practices to ensure the secure storage and usage of encryption keys.
Enhancing Network Security: Implement robust network security measures, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and secure network configurations. Monitor network traffic for suspicious activities and employ network segmentation to limit the impact of security breaches.
Educating and Training Personnel: Provide regular security training to employees to raise awareness about cyber threats and best practices. Encourage a culture of security consciousness, where employees are vigilant in identifying and reporting suspicious activities.
Implementing Cloud Security Solutions: Leverage specialized cloud security solutions, such as intrusion detection systems, security information and event management (SIEM) tools, and cloud access security brokers (CASBs), to enhance visibility, detect threats, and enforce security policies.
Adopting these measures can significantly bolster an organization’s cloud security posture, effectively mitigating threats and safeguarding digital assets.
Optimizing Cloud Security: Strategies for Continuous Protection
Achieving optimal cloud security is an ongoing process, requiring organizations to continuously assess and refine their security strategies.

Do you find yourself constantly battling with chronic pain, searching for a solution that truly works? Dive into the world of cannabis strains for pain management, where relief might just be a puff away.
As you embark on this journey, keep in mind that each strain has its unique properties that can cater to your specific needs. By exploring the best cannabis strains for pain management, you are taking a proactive step towards improving your quality of life and finding a natural remedy that works for you.
Imagine a world where pain doesn’t dictate your daily activities, where you can find solace in the healing powers of cannabis. With the right knowledge and guidance, you can discover the perfect strain that aligns with your pain management goals.
By delving into the nuances of the Indica vs. Sativa debate and understanding the intricacies of dosage and administration, you are equipping yourself with the tools necessary to navigate this complex yet rewarding journey towards pain relief.
So, let’s embark on this exploration together and uncover the best cannabis strains that can help you find comfort and ease in your daily life.
Understanding the Endocannabinoid System
You already know that the Endocannabinoid System plays a key role in regulating pain, so understanding how different strains interact with this system can help you find the best cannabis strain for pain management.
When you consume cannabis, the cannabinoids in the plant interact with the receptors in your Endocannabinoid System, influencing how your body processes pain signals. By choosing the right strain that targets these receptors effectively, you can experience relief from chronic pain and discomfort.
It’s important to remember that not all cannabis strains are created equal when it comes to pain management. Each strain contains different levels of cannabinoids like THC and CBD, which have varying effects on the Endocannabinoid System.
By educating yourself on how these cannabinoids work and experimenting with different strains, you can find the perfect balance that alleviates your pain without unwanted side effects. Trust in the power of the Endocannabinoid System and the diverse range of cannabis strains available to help you on your journey to finding relief from pain.
Indica vs. Sativa: Choosing the Right Strain
When deciding between Indica and Sativa, consider the effects each strain can have on your body and mind. Indica strains are known for their relaxing and sedative effects, making them a great choice for pain management and promoting sleep. They can help calm your mind and body, allowing you to unwind and feel at ease.
On the other hand, Sativa strains are more energizing and uplifting, making them ideal for daytime use when you need to stay alert and focused. They can help boost your mood and creativity while still providing relief from pain.
It’s important to choose the right strain based on your individual needs and preferences. If you’re looking for pain relief without feeling too sedated, a Sativa-dominant hybrid might be the best option for you.
On the other hand, if you’re struggling with insomnia or anxiety in addition to pain, an Indica-dominant strain could provide the relief you’re seeking. Experiment with different strains and pay attention to how they make you feel to find the perfect balance for your pain management needs.
Top Cannabis Strains for Chronic Pain
When it comes to managing chronic pain, strains like ACDC, Harlequin, and Cannatonic are highly recommended. These strains are known for their high CBD content, which offers anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties without the psychoactive effects typically associated with THC. By incorporating these strains into your pain management routine, you can experience relief without feeling high or impaired.
Another popular option for chronic pain relief is the strain Blue Dream. This hybrid strain combines the relaxing effects of an Indica with the uplifting qualities of a Sativa, making it ideal for daytime use. Blue Dream is known for its ability to provide pain relief while promoting a sense of calm and well-being.
Dosage and Administration Tips
Dosage and administration tips for using cannabis strains to manage pain include starting with a low dose and slowly increasing as needed. It’s important to find the right balance for your body, so listening to your body’s response is key.
Here are some tips to help guide you on your pain management journey:
• Stay Hydrated: Keeping yourself hydrated can help with the absorption of cannabis in your system.
• Track Your Progress: Keep a journal to record how different doses affect your pain levels.
• Consult a Professional: Consider talking to a healthcare provider or a cannabis specialist for personalized guidance.
• Practice Patience: Finding the right dosage may take time, so be patient with yourself as you navigate this process.
Remember, everyone’s body reacts differently to cannabis, so what works for one person may not work for another. By following these tips and being mindful of your body’s response, you can find the right dosage and administration method to effectively manage your pain.
Potential Risks and Side Effects to Consider
Be mindful of potential risks and side effects that may arise when using these strains for pain relief. While cannabis can be incredibly effective in managing pain, it’s essential to be aware of the possible downsides. Some individuals may experience side effects such as dizziness, dry mouth, increased heart rate, or even anxiety. It’s important to start with a low dosage and gradually increase it to find the right balance for your body. Additionally, some strains may cause sedation, so it’s best to use them when you don’t need to be alert or active.

Sarthe
Sarthe is a department of the French region of Pays de la Loire, and the province of Maine, situated in the Grand-Ouest of the country. It is named after the river Sarthe, which flows from east of Le Mans to just north of Angers. It had a population of 566,412 in 2019.
History
In the late 18th century, before it was officially Sarthe, the nobility built their mansions and chateaux in this region, as an escape from Paris.
The department was created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790, pursuant to the law of 22 December 1789, starting from a part of the province of Maine. The latter was divided into two departments, Sarthe to the east and Mayenne to the west.
In Roman times, this province contained the city of Mans, and many of its ruins are still standing. The Roman Thermal Bathhouse attracts many tourists, as does the Theater of Aubigné-Racan, both located on the outskirts of Anjou, Maine, and Touraine.
Marin Mersenne, perhaps the most important scientific figure in the early 17th century, was born in the vicinity of Sarthe.
Geography
The department of Sarthe is at the north end of the administrative region of Pays de la Loire. It is south of Normandy and on the southern edge of the Armorican Massif. It is bordered by the departments of Orne, Eure-et-Loir, Loir-et-Cher, Indre-et-Loire, Maine-et-Loire and Mayenne.
The arrival of the railways in 1854 boosted trade for the local economy. A TGV connection was constructed in 1989, connecting the community to high-speed transport. In terms of road connections, the A11 autoroute, which was constructed to Le Mans from the east in 1978, enhances Sarthe's strategic position as the gateway to the French west.
Principal towns
The most populous commune is Le Mans, the prefecture. Approximately 370,000 people, comprising 65% of the department's population, live in the Le Mans urban area. The rest of the department retains a rural character, with agriculture as the chief part of the economy. As of 2019, there are 4 communes with more than 10,000 inhabitants:

Politics
The department was the electoral base of former Prime Minister François Fillon, who since 2012 sits in the National Assembly of France for a constituency in central Paris. The president of the Departmental Council is Dominique Le Mèner, elected in 2015. | WIKI |

Yang Xiaobo (politician, born 1963)
Yang Xiaobo (January 1963 – 27 January 2020 ) was a Chinese structural engineer, politician, and insurance executive. He served as President of the Central South Architectural Design Institute (2003–2007), Mayor of Huangshi, Hubei (2009–2014), and President of Changjiang Property Insurance Company (2014–2020), and was a delegate to the 12th National People's Congress (2013–2018). He died of severe pneumonia during the COVID-19 pandemic in Hubei.
Early life and education
Yang was born in January 1963 in Tianmen, Hubei. He entered Beijing Jiaotong University in 1981, majoring in structural engineering. After earning his bachelor's degree in September 1985, he pursued graduate studies at Tianjin University, earning his master's degree in structural engineering in June 1988. He joined the Communist Party of China in May 1988.
Career
In June 1988, Yang became an engineer at the Central South Architectural Design Institute, where he worked in structural design of industrial and residential buildings. He later earned an MBA degree from Ohio University in the United States. He was promoted to President of the Central South Architectural Design Institute in April 2003, serving until 2007.
Yang entered the Hubei Provincial Government in April 2007 to serve as Director of the Department of Construction. He subsequently studied at the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China from March 2008 to January 2009, and was appointed acting mayor and later Mayor of Huangshi, a prefecture-level city east of Wuhan, in February 2009. He also concurrently served as Deputy Party Secretary of Huangshi.

Using US Censuses
Welcome to Day 6! Today, we will talk about using US censuses in your family history research. These censuses contain an amazing amount of information and offer an interesting glimpse into the lives of your ancestors.
Census records of 1940 are available to everyone online here. US censuses from 1790 through 1930 are available either through a subscription to a service like Ancestry.com or through public libraries. Check with your library to see if they provide access to sites such as HeritageQuest Online that will allow you to search the US censuses from home. One important note on census availability: The bulk of the 1890 census was destroyed by fire; less than 1% of that census survived.
What You Can Find in a Census
As you begin looking through the US censuses, you will discover that, depending on the year of the census, different questions were asked. Some questions are consistent throughout, though. What you can depend on learning are each family member’s name, age, gender, race, marital status, profession, city where they lived, and the state in which they were born. Depending on each particular census, you can also learn whether the person could read or write, how much formal education they received, the month and year of their birth, where their parents were born, how long they’d been married, and more.
The census information for each household is on a sheet that contains information for their neighbors as well. It is sometimes helpful to look at the entire sheet when you find a relative. Often, other family members lived nearby, and sometimes you can discover other family on the same census sheet.
A Useful Hint
Each census was recorded on a sheet of paper and the information was handwritten. These sheets have been digitally archived. Information about each person recorded in the census is extracted and available to view without looking at the actual census sheet. I recommend that you look at both. Sometimes there is more information on the sheet than is recorded in the extracted information.
Additionally, because the original information was handwritten, it can sometimes be difficult to read the writing, which means sometimes the extracted information is not correct. For example, I was searching for family in a census, and when I finally found them, the extracted information listed the family name as Ried instead of Rice. When I looked at the original census sheet, I saw that the census taker had written “Rice,” but the last two letters of the name were written in such a way that someone mistook it for Ried.
How to Use Censuses: Example
Censuses are useful in tracing family back through the years, especially if you have missing information about that part of your family. I’m going to use an example from my own research to demonstrate how you can use censuses (this is how I found out about my father’s side of the family).
• I knew my dad’s paternal grandparents’ (my great-grandparents’) names and my dad’s father’s (my grandfather’s) name and year of birth. I went to the census that occurred after my grandfather’s birth, which was the 1910 census. When I found my great-grandparents in that census, I learned where they and their parents were born and their ages in 1910.
• Then, I wanted to go to the census when I thought my great-grandparents were still living with their parents. Since my great-grandparents were in their early 20s in 1910, it was simply the next earliest census: 1900.
• In this census, I searched for my great-grandfather using his name, year of birth, and where he was born. When I found him, I learned his parents’ names, years of birth, where their parents were born, how long they had been married, and the names and ages of my great-grandfather’s siblings.
• After that, I repeated the same process with my great-great-grandparents.
While it is pretty straightforward to complete this process for paternal ancestors, it can be a little more challenging on the maternal side, since women tend to take their husband’s last name upon marriage. Using what information you do have on those women, you can often find their families of origin too.
As you can imagine, censuses have the potential to provide you with much information about your family. Tomorrow, we’ll explore a different resource for your research: grave websites.

A Pinch of CoffeeScript Sugar - Part 1
In this series, I plan to point out and provide a few examples of some cool syntactic sugar provided by CoffeeScript. In this post, I'll talk about destructuring assignment and splats.
I've shown how to write a jQuery plugin in CoffeeScript in a previous post. In the following example, I take that simple jQuery plugin and add a little more sugar.
The above example is based on the recommendations defined in the jQuery Plugins/Authoring documentation. There are a couple of interesting aspects of this code.
Line 10 (i.e. [_, args...] = arguments) is using two cool CoffeeScript features. The first is something called destructuring assignment. This feature allows you to take data from arrays or objects and place that data into something more wieldy. In this case, we are taking the JavaScript arguments object, destructuring it, and assigning all of the arguments except the first one to an array named args. This eliminates the need for me to type Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1). If I had not used a splat (i.e ...), this would have assigned only the second argument to args. Note: Destructuring assignment has been added to JavaScript 1.7.
The second thing of interest on this line (which I've already briefly mentioned) is the use of the splat. The splat allows you to easily work with anything that involves a variable number of arguments. Since line 10 potentially involves more than 2 passed arguments, this is a perfect place to use a splat. As I mentioned before, the use of the splat in this case will generate JavaScript to slice the arguments array i.e. Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1).
Lines 11 and 13 also use a splat, but the reasoning behind its use on these lines is slightly different. While this is still related to a varying number of arguments, it has to do with the passing of those arguments to a function rather than retrieval of the additional argument values. The splat in this case will generate JavaScript that uses the Function.apply method.
A little bit of sugar can make things much sweeter (ug...that was bad). I hope you find this post helpful and that you find lots of uses for the described features.

Peirce School
The Peirce School (also known as Old Peirce School) is a historic school building at 88 Chestnut Street, corner of Austin Street, in West Newton, Massachusetts. The brick building was built in 1895 and operated by the Newton Public Schools as an elementary school from 1895 until June 1951. It originally served grades one through eight, but at the time of its closing, it was a kindergarten through sixth grade (K–6) school. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 6, 1979.
Origin of name
Peirce School, (originally pronounced as if it were spelled "Purse" but now usually pronounced as if it were spelled "Pierce"), was named for Cyrus Peirce, (1790–1860), a Unitarian minister and educator, who was the first principal (or president) of the first Normal School opened in the United States in Lexington and served as such from 1839 until 1842 when he retired because of poor health. In 1844 the Normal School was moved to West Newton and located on Washington Street on the site now occupied by the First Unitarian Society in Newton, which is also on the National Register. Peirce moved to Newton that year and resumed his leadership of the school and served until 1849, when he again retired because of ill health. Peirce lived the rest of his life in West Newton. The Normal School he headed is now Framingham State College, in Framingham, which considers him as its first president. Now Peirce moved to temple street.
Description of building
The Peirce School building was designed by Stickney & Austin, architects, in the style described as Colonial Revival, although today it might be described as Late 19th Century Public School. The exterior was built of granite, brick and sandstone with a slate roof. Although it is numbered 88 Chestnut Street, the building actually faces on Austin Street. The imposing entrance facing Austin Street was largely ceremonial and served as the place for taking class pictures. The plainer entrances at either end of the building were the ones used for ingress and egress.
Present use
The City of Newton assessment rolls show the building as vacant, but recent aerial photos show a paved parking lot with cars parked in it on the south side of the building. The building is called Peirce House and offers subsidized housing for seniors and disabled people.
New Peirce School
A new, more modern Peirce School was built at 170 Temple Street, corner of Berkeley Street in West Newton and opened in September, 1951 to replace the old Peirce School. Ann L. Caldwell, last principal of the old school, continued as principal of the new school. The new Peirce School is still in operation as a K-5 school. | WIKI |

Arias would later gain interest in NASCAR, after getting inspiration from current IndyCar series driver, Juan Pablo Montoya, who raced in the series at the time. He and his family moved to Miami, Florida, to run late model races. In 2017, he drove for two races in the Southern Pro Am Truck Series, which were both at the Homestead-Miami Speedway Road Course. He would finish 3rd and 4th respectably. He continued to race late models in 2019, driving in the 602 Super Limited Series race at Caraway Speedway, finishing in 10th.
ARCA
On August 12, 2021, Arias would sign with Bill McAnally Racing, to drive for two races in the ARCA Menards Series West. He would officially be the second Colombian racer to drive in a NASCAR-sanctioned race, following Juan Pablo Montoya. He was scheduled to make his first start at the Irwindale Event Center, but would end up not starting the race, after his car hit the outside wall during qualifying. He would make his official start at the final race of the season, Phoenix Raceway. He started 30th and would finish 26th. In March 2022, he would sign a seven race deal with Nascimento Motorsports. It would eventually be a full-time deal. His first top-10 finish came at Irwindale, where he finished 8th. Arias also made his ARCA Menards Series debut at the 2022 General Tire 150, which was a collaboration race with the West Series. On February 21, 2023, it was announced that Arias would run two West Series races (Sonoma and the season-finale at Phoenix) for Rev Racing. He would run his races in the No. 2, finishing 21st and Sonoma and finishing tenth at Phoenix.
In 2024, it was revealed that Arias will run the No. 9 Chevrolet for Rev Racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway. After placing nineteenth in the lone practice session, he qualified in eighteenth and finished in tenth place.

Have you ever seen the 96-year-old who trains and runs the spartan race? I highly recommend doing an internet search on this and see what I mean.
The point is that age is just a number. You can exercise and move at any age. Below are some research articles that showed the benefits of exercising over 90 years of age!
Research Articles on Exercising in Individuals Over 90
1. “Physical Activity and Mortality in the Oldest Old” from The American Journal of Public Health
• Summary: The study examined the impact of physical activity on mortality rates. The research found that even light physical activities, over the age of 90, such as walking and gardening, significantly reduced mortality risk.
• Example: Participants who engaged in regular walking had a 30% lower risk of death compared to their sedentary counterparts.
1. “Resistance Training and Functional Capacity in the Oldest Old” from Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
• Summary: This study examined the benefits of resistance training for people over the age of 90. The study showed that muscle strength, balance and overall functional capacity improved.
• Example: A group of nonagenarians participating in a 12-week resistance training program showed a 40% increase in muscle strength and improved balance, leading to fewer falls.
1. “Exercise Training and Cognitive Function in Older Adults Over 90” from the Neurobiology of Aging journal.
• Summary: This study explored resistance and aerobic exercise on cognitive function in people over the age of 90. The results indicated that regular exercise can slow cognitive decline and improve memory!
• Example: Participants who engaged in aerobic exercises like cycling or swimming for 6 months demonstrated better performance in memory tests compared to those who did not exercise.
1. “Effects of Tai Chi on Balance and Fall Prevention in the Oldest Old” from the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity
• Summary: The study assessed the effectiveness of Tai Chi on improving balance and preventing falls in the persons over 90 years of age. The gentle movements and emphasis on balance make Tai Chi a good exercise for this age group.
• Example: After a 16-week Tai Chi program, participants reported a 50% reduction in falls and significant improvements in balance and coordination.
1. “Endurance Training and Cardiovascular Health in Nonagenarians” from the Circulation journal
• Summary: This study focused on endurance training and cardiovascular health in people over 90. The research findings suggested significant improvements in cardiovascular health and a decrease in blood pressure.
• Example: Nonagenarians who participated in a 10-week endurance training program, such as walking or light jogging, experienced a 15% reduction in systolic blood pressure and improved heart health markers.
These are some great studies to show the various benefits of exercise for those individuals over the age of 90. It demonstrates that engaging in physical activity can significantly improve health and quality of life at an older more experienced age. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Long-Term Stability of Nitrifying Granules in a Membrane Bioreactor without Hydraulic Selection Pressure
Zhaohui An, Xueyao Zhang, Charles B. Bott, Zhi-Wu Wang
2021 Processes
To understand the long-term stability of nitrifying granules in a membrane bioreactor (GMBR), a membrane module was submerged in an airlift reactor to eliminate the hydraulic selection pressure that was believed to be the driving force of aerobic granulation. The long-term monitoring results showed that the structure of nitrifying granules could remain stable for 305 days in the GMBR without hydraulic selection pressure; however, the majority of the granule structure was actually inactive due
more » ... ally inactive due to mass diffusion limitation. As a consequence, active biomass free of mass diffusion limitation only inhabited the top 60–80 µm layer of the nitrifying granules. There was a dynamic equilibrium between bioflocs and membrane, i.e., 25% of bioflocs attached on the membrane surface within the last nine days of the backwash cycle in synchronization with the emergence of a peak of soluble extracellular polymeric substances (sEPS), with a concentration of around 47 mg L−1. Backwash can eventually detach and return these bioflocs to the bulk solution. However, the rate of membrane fouling did not change with and without the biofloc attachment. In a certain sense, the GMBR investigated in this study functioned in a similar fashion as an integrated fixed-film activated sludge membrane bioreactor and thus defeated the original purpose of GMBR development. The mass diffusion problem and sEPS production should be key areas of focus in future GMBR research.

JOHN BROWN'S RAID ON HARPERS FERRY
John Brown was an influential figure in American history in relation to issues surrounding slavery in the 19th century. For instance, he was a prominent abolitionist and fought to end slavery in the United States. As well, many consider him to be one of the most famous people from the timeframe of the American Abolitionist Movement. For example, his famous raid on Harpers Ferry was a pivotal moment in the lead up to the events of the American Civil War.
BEFORE JOHN BROWN'S RAID ON HARPERS FERRY
As stated above, John Brown was an influential figure in the American Abolitionist Movement. The American Abolitionist Movement is the name for the advancements made in the United States towards ending the practise of slavery. For instance, the term ‘abolition’ means to stop or end something. As such, an abolitionist is someone who was working to ban slavery. The American Abolitionist Movement is considered to have occurred from the late 1700s until 1865 when the American government abolished slavery following the end of the American Civil War.
There was quite a divide between the Northern and Southern states in relation to their views on slavery and the Abolitionist Movement in the 18th and 19th centuries. More specifically, the Northern states were the first to support the American Abolitionist Movement and by the end of the 18th century, most Northern states has some sort of anti-slavery legislation. As such, John Brown generally lived in and operated in the Northern states, where he carried out his own abolitionist activities.
A major event that occurred before John Brown’s raid at Harpers Ferry was the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854. In general, the Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed states to determine for themselves, whether slavery should be allowed. ‘Bleeding Kansas’ is a term that is used to refer to the violence that erupted in the new state of Kansas after the introduction of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The violence occurred between 1854 and 1861 and set the stage for the eventually outbreak of the American Civil War. John Brown went to Kansas with his adult sons and participated in the fighting, which was brutal and led to major losses for the abolitionists that fought alongside Brown. However, John Brown’s actions in the events of ‘Bleeding Kansas’ led to him gaining recognition amongst other abolitionists. He used this to gain support for further actions that he hoped to carry out against the practise of slavery, including the raid on Harpers Ferry.
JOHN BROWN'S PLANNING FOR THE HARPERS FERRY RAID
Following the events during ‘Bleeding Kansas’, John Brown and his supporters returned to the east to gain financial support for further actions to end slavery. In fact, Brown had hoped to spark a slave revolt that would bring an end to slavery in the United States. Throughout the mid-1850s, he met with other abolitionists to plan, finance and carry out a raid, which he hoped would cause African American slaves across to the United States to revolt against their slave owners.
This ultimately resulted in Brown’s famous raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. Harpers Ferry was a small town in Virginia, which contained a United States Armory that was full of weapons and ammunition. As such, Brown had hoped to raid the armory in order to capture weapons and spark a slave revolt, which he thought would end slavery in the United States.
In fact, Brown’s plan was to capture the armory in Harpers Ferry and take the numerous weapons and ammunition before heading south. He did not intend to hold the armory for very long. Rather, Brown’s plan was to capture the armory such that he could obtain weapons for fellow abolitionists and slaves from within Virginia. For instance, he had intended on sending scouts to local slave plantations in Virginia in order to recruit slaves to his cause. Brown had estimated that as many as 500 slaves might join him at this time. He hoped that these slaves would arm themselves at the armory before heading south into the slave states in order to spark further slave revolts.
In order to prepare for the raid, John Brown rented a small farmhouse near Harpers Ferry where he and his supporters could train and organize their efforts. At the time, he had 18 others who lived at the farmhouse with him. They trained during the nights and mostly stayed indoors during the day in order to avoid gaining attention from neighboring farms. At this time, Brown also tried to gain more support for the raid, by appealing to other abolitionists. For instance, he famously asked Frederick Douglass to act as a supporter of the raid in order to gain more support from African Americans. However, Douglass declined the request, as he thought the use of violence would do more harm than good to the cause of the abolitionist movement.
MAJOR EVENTS OF JOHN BROWN'S RAID ON HARPERS FERRY
The raid began on the evening of October 16th and continued until October 18th in 1859. On the evening of October 16th, Brown and a group of about 21 other supporters carried out the raid in Harpers Ferry. Part of the group began by entering the town and overwhelming the guards. At the same time, another part of the group helped release some local slaves to gain more support for the raid on the armory. Regardless, Brown and the raiders took control over the armory with relatively little effort. As stated above, Brown’s intention was to gather as many weapons as possible and spark a slave revolt in the area surrounding Harpers Ferry. In fact, he hoped to be out of the armory before news spread and the government could respond.
Unfortunately, the raid did not go to plan as Brown and the other raiders became trapped in the armory. For instance, on the morning of the 17th, the raiders were discovered in the armory, and local militia began to surround them. Further to this, Brown’s plan of sparking a slave revolt failed, as almost no slaves in the surrounding area came to assist the raid. This meant that the raiders were effectively trapped in the armory with no possible escape. Throughout the morning and early afternoon, the raiders exchanged fire with the militia, and several people died on both sides. This included one of John Brown’s adult sons, who was shot and died shortly after. However, the situation became worse for the raiders, when President James Buchanan called for a company of United States Marines to surround the armory at Harpers Ferry. In fact, the Marines were led by Robert E. Lee, who later gained fame for his actions in the American Civil War.
The next morning, on the 19th of October, Lee offered Brown and the raiders the opportunity to surrender. However, Brown refused, and Lee ordered the Marines to attack the building that Brown and the other raiders were held up in. In the chaos of the assault by the Marines, Brown was cut the in neck and badly injured. With that said, the Marines quickly captured the raiders and took them prisoner. John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry was over. In total, ten of the raiders were killed in the fighting, and one United States Marines was killed.
OUTCOME OF JOHN BROWN'S RAID ON HARPERS FERRY
John Brown’s raid at Harpers Ferry was a failure, as it did not result in the slave revolt that he had hoped. This was due to several reasons, including the failure of his group to gain more widespread support from other abolitionists, including Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. This is because many in the American Abolitionist Movement considered Brown’s views to be too radical, and they did not necessarily support his use of violence to end slavery.
Historically, John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry is one of the most significant events in the lead up to the outbreak of the American Civil War. This is because it highlighted the divide between the Northern ‘free’ states and the Southern ‘slave’ states. For example, in the Northern states, Brown’s raid was widely seen as an act of bravery for the cause of abolitionism. Alternatively, many in the Southern states were angered by the use of violence to end slavery. This caused John Brown to become a point of disagreement between the North and the South as well as politically with the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. As such, historians generally view John Brown’s raid as an important moment in the timeframe before the American Civil War.
As stated above, John Brown was captured following the events of his raid on Harpers Ferry. This resulted in his imprisonment, trial and eventual execution. In fact, his trial began in Virginia on October 27th in 1859, which was just over a week after the end of the raid. In all, he was charged with murder, conspiracy, and treason. After a trial that lasted about a week, Brown was found guilty of all three charges. As a result, he was sentenced to death by hanging, with the execution to on December 2nd, 1859.

-- CMBS Faces Risk of ‘Disruptive Shocks’ Regulators Told
Commercial mortgage-backed
securities have more risk than last year as landlords need to
repay maturing debt and vacancies remain elevated, according to
an analysis prepared for insurance regulators. “Downside risk for CMBS relative to last year’s
assumptions has clearly increased,” according to a report for
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners posted on
the group’s website. The market is “proving itself subject to
highly disruptive shocks” and has less time to deal with the
coming wave of loan maturities, consultants and NAIC staff said
in the report. Regulators are scrutinizing bonds held by insurers as they
evaluate whether the companies will have enough funds for
policyholder obligations in an economic slump. The report, dated
Oct. 16, was sent to Kevin Fry, chairman of the NAIC’s task
force for valuation of securities. State regulators can demand
insurers hold more funds against assets deemed risky. The outlook is too negative and doesn’t reflect market
improvements, the American Council of Life Insurers said in a
letter on the NAIC’s website. The ACLI is an industry group
which represents firms including MetLife Inc. (MET) and Prudential
Financial Inc. (PRU) “We believe the current state of the market is the
healthiest it has been since 2005,” Michael Monahan , senior
director for accounting policy at the ACLI wrote. Proposed
changes in models for CMBS and residential mortgage-backed
securities “will result in an unwarranted increase in capital
charges for the vast majority of securities.” Building Values Investors have snapped up commercial and residential
property debt this year as the real estate market has shown
signs of improvement and the Federal Reserve pushed down
borrowing costs, fueling demand for higher-yielding bonds. The extra yield investors demand to own top-ranked CMBS
rather than Treasuries has fallen to 1.07 percentage points from
2.47 percentage points on Jan. 3 and is down from the peak of
15.07 percentage points in November 2008, according to the
Barclays CMBS Aaa Super Duper index. That’s the lowest since at
least January 2008. To contact the reporter on this story:

How six dozen 12 to 19-year-old homeschooled members of generation joshua helped elect Michele Bachmann
While Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann (R) is well-known for her small army of foster children, it's another group of youngsters that she credits with her 2008 re-election, Mother Jones reported.
It was the nearly six dozen 12 to 19-year-old homeschooled kids who went door to door for Bachmann who helped her hold onto her House seat. The kids were members of Generation Joshua, a group that trains homeschooled kids for political organizing. For Bachmann, who sees herself as the future leader of the Republican Party, these are her would-be future constituents.

Raltitrexed
Raltitrexed (Thaltitrexed, Tomudex, TDX, ZD 1694) is an antimetabolite drug used in cancer chemotherapy. It is an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase, and is manufactured by AstraZeneca.
Uses
Used in treatment of colorectal cancer since 1998, it may also be used in the treatment of malignant mesothelioma. Raltitrexed is approved for use in Canada and some European countries, but is not approved by the US FDA.
Mechanism of action
Raltitrexed is chemically similar to folic acid and is in the class of chemotherapy drugs called folate antimetabolites, which inhibit one or more of three enzymes that use folate and derivatives as substrates: DHFR, GARFT and thymidylate synthase. Raltitrexed is fully active after polyglutamylation, which allows cellular retention of the drug.
By inhibiting Thymidylate synthase (TS), thus formation of precursor pyrimidine nucleotides, raltitrexed prevents the formation of DNA and RNA, which are required for the growth and survival of both normal cells and cancer cells.
Inhibition of L1210 cell growth in culture IC50 = 9 nM, is one of the strongest antimetabolites in use.
Structure and phase I clinical trial of the precursor drug, CB3717, was described in 1986. | WIKI |
Can I read a Rails database from within a Stimulus controller?
Hello! Rails and Stimulus/Ajax beginner here, and I was hoping someone might have some advice to get me unstuc…
I’m making an online Invoicing app, and have an Invoice form, which also uses nested Lineitem partials inside of it. In each nested Lineitem, you can select a “Billable” name , which derives from my Billable model. My Billable model has three attributes: Name, Price and Comment. The user sets these up before making an invoice….
Anyway, when the user selects a Billable name from the Lineitem’s drop-down menu (for instance “Sound “Recordist or “Microphones” or “Meals”), I want to use Stimulus to automatically populate the Lineitem’s Price and Comment input fields with the data from the selected Billable’s Price and Comment attributes (which act as defaults).
Any idea how to best go about this? I can use Stimulus to read my drop-down’s Billable ID, but I can’t seem to find anything about reading a model’s database attributes from within a Stimulus controller (so I can look up the Billable’s other attributes—price and comment). I’ve looked at some concepts like Stimulus Hovercards but the examples are able to call up database info from the Rails environment before sending it to Stimulus for DOM rendering, whereas I can’t know what Billable record to look up until I’m inside the Javascript controller, and then I’m in Javascript. Or that’s what I think, at least. :wink:
Any advice much appreciated, thanks!

Hi k2director,
You could add an event listener to your select and then fetch data from a Rails action.
If you set the id as the value of your select options.
<select data-action="change->my-controller#selectHandler">
You can do something like:
selectHandler(e) {
let id = e.target.value;
fetch(`/controller/action/${id}`)
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => doSomethingWithYourDataHere(data));
}

Thank you for the response, Sgroen, it’s much appreciated!
I tried out the Javascript function, and can read the ID of whatever Billable item I select from the dropdown, and then Fetch on that (for instance…/billables/8) but I can’t seem to get access to the Response or the Data it’s supposed to be fetching. I keep getting an error about “Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0”
Here is my code, where you can see I’m just trying to console.log ‘data’ (replacing your “doSomethingWithYourDataHere(data)” line), just to see what’s there. I’ve also tried to console.log ‘response’ but it’s undefined.
selectHandler(e) {
let id = e.target.value;
fetch(`/billables/${id}`)
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) =>
console.log(data));
}
Any further thoughts? One thing I wondered about is that I’m not Fetching on billables/show/id, because that kept producing an error. I’m fetching simply on billables/id, since that’s the URL where you find the Billable record I’m looking for.
Thanks!!
Hi @k2director,
The error Unexpected token in < in JSON at position 0 often means the JavaScript code was trying to retrieve and parse JSON, but received an HTML response instead. The “<” token refers to the first character in an HTML response, usually starting with <!DOCTYPE html>.
If you look in the Network tab of your browser, specifically at the response given by the request to /billables/:id, you should see the HTML response, which should have been JSON instead.
In your BillablesController, you may need to ensure that def show is responding with JSON, something like this:
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.json # <!-- make sure you have format.json, in addition to html
end
Hopefully that helps!
Sgroen, cancel that last message, I got it working!
I realized that I probably needed to create a custom Rails controller action for what I wanted to do, and then a route for it. So I did that, and just added a “render json: @billable…” line in my custom controller action, and things started to work.
So THANK YOU for turning me on to Fetch. This will definitely be useful in the future…

Dokos
Dokos (Δοκός) is a small Greek island of the Argo-Saronic Gulf, adjacent to Hydra, and separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow strait called, on some maps, "the Hydra Gulf." It is part of the municipality of Ýdra (Hydra) in Islands regional unit and reported a population of 18 persons at the 2011 census. The island is populated only by some Orthodox monks and perennial sheep herders. The island is rocky, reaching a height of 308 m. During ancient times it was called Aperopia (Ἀπεροπία).
Archaeology
It has, since the ancient years, considered to be a strategic location. On the east side lie the ruins of a great Byzantine - Venetian Castle. During the Middle Ages, the island served as a refuge for Albanian settlers' animals.
Dokos, according to archaeological studies, has been inhabited since Chalcolithic, 6000 BC. In 1975, Peter Throckmorton discovered a wreck near Dokos that has been dated to about 2150 BC, and may be the oldest shipwreck known. | WIKI |
