[docs]class GCN2Conv(nn.Module): r"""Graph Convolutional Network via Initial residual and Identity mapping (GCNII) from `Simple and Deep Graph Convolutional Networks <https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.02133>`__ It is mathematically is defined as follows: .. math:: \mathbf{h}^{(l+1)} =\left( (1 - \alpha)(\mathbf{D}^{-1/2} \mathbf{\hat{A}} \mathbf{D}^{-1/2})\mathbf{h}^{(l)} + \alpha {\mathbf{h}^{(0)}} \right) \left( (1 - \beta_l) \mathbf{I} + \beta_l \mathbf{W} \right) where :math:`\mathbf{\hat{A}}` is the adjacency matrix with self-loops, :math:`\mathbf{D}_{ii} = \sum_{j=0} \mathbf{A}_{ij}` is its diagonal degree matrix, :math:`\mathbf{h}^{(0)}` is the initial node features, :math:`\mathbf{h}^{(l)}` is the feature of layer :math:`l`, :math:`\alpha` is the fraction of initial node features, and :math:`\beta_l` is the hyperparameter to tune the strength of identity mapping. It is defined by :math:`\beta_l = \log(\frac{\lambda}{l}+1)\approx\frac{\lambda}{l}`, where :math:`\lambda` is a hyperparameter. :math:`\beta` ensures that the decay of the weight matrix adaptively increases as we stack more layers. Parameters ---------- in_feats : int Input feature size; i.e, the number of dimensions of :math:`h_j^{(l)}`. layer : int the index of current layer. alpha : float The fraction of the initial input features. Default: ``0.1`` lambda_ : float The hyperparameter to ensure the decay of the weight matrix adaptively increases. Default: ``1`` project_initial_features : bool Whether to share a weight matrix between initial features and smoothed features. Default: ``True`` bias : bool, optional If True, adds a learnable bias to the output. Default: ``True``. activation : callable activation function/layer or None, optional If not None, applies an activation function to the updated node features. Default: ``None``. allow_zero_in_degree : bool, optional If there are 0-in-degree nodes in the graph, output for those nodes will be invalid since no message will be passed to those nodes. This is harmful for some applications causing silent performance regression. This module will raise a DGLError if it detects 0-in-degree nodes in input graph. By setting ``True``, it will suppress the check and let the users handle it by themselves. Default: ``False``. Note ---- Zero in-degree nodes will lead to invalid output value. This is because no message will be passed to those nodes, the aggregation function will be appied on empty input. A common practice to avoid this is to add a self-loop for each node in the graph if it is homogeneous, which can be achieved by: >>> g = ... # a DGLGraph >>> g = dgl.add_self_loop(g) Calling ``add_self_loop`` will not work for some graphs, for example, heterogeneous graph since the edge type can not be decided for self_loop edges. Set ``allow_zero_in_degree`` to ``True`` for those cases to unblock the code and handle zero-in-degree nodes manually. A common practise to handle this is to filter out the nodes with zero-in-degree when use after conv. Examples -------- >>> import dgl >>> import numpy as np >>> import torch as th >>> from dgl.nn import GCN2Conv >>> # Homogeneous graph >>> g = dgl.graph(([0,1,2,3,2,5], [1,2,3,4,0,3])) >>> feat = th.ones(6, 3) >>> g = dgl.add_self_loop(g) >>> conv1 = GCN2Conv(3, layer=1, alpha=0.5, \ ... project_initial_features=True, allow_zero_in_degree=True) >>> conv2 = GCN2Conv(3, layer=2, alpha=0.5, \ ... project_initial_features=True, allow_zero_in_degree=True) >>> res = feat >>> res = conv1(g, res, feat) >>> res = conv2(g, res, feat) >>> print(res) tensor([[1.3803, 3.3191, 2.9572], [1.3803, 3.3191, 2.9572], [1.3803, 3.3191, 2.9572], [1.4770, 3.8326, 3.2451], [1.3623, 3.2102, 2.8679], [1.3803, 3.3191, 2.9572]], grad_fn=<AddBackward0>) """ def __init__( self, in_feats, layer, alpha=0.1, lambda_=1, project_initial_features=True, allow_zero_in_degree=False, bias=True, activation=None, ): super().__init__() self._in_feats = in_feats self._project_initial_features = project_initial_features self.alpha = alpha self.beta = math.log(lambda_ / layer + 1) self._bias = bias self._activation = activation self._allow_zero_in_degree = allow_zero_in_degree self.weight1 = nn.Parameter(th.Tensor(self._in_feats, self._in_feats)) if self._project_initial_features: self.register_parameter("weight2", None) else: self.weight2 = nn.Parameter( th.Tensor(self._in_feats, self._in_feats) ) if self._bias: self.bias = nn.Parameter(th.Tensor(self._in_feats)) else: self.register_parameter("bias", None) self.reset_parameters()

Seeland-II-C
Seeland-II-C (Sjælland bracteate 2) is a Scandinavian bracteate from Zealand, Denmark, that has been dated to the Migration period (around 500 AD). The bracteate bears an Elder Futhark inscription which reads as:
The final ttt is a triple-stacked Tiwaz rune. This use of the rune is often interpreted as three invocations of the Norse pagan god Tyr.
The central image shows a male's head above a quadruped. This is the defining characteristic of C-bracteates (of which some 400 specimens survive), and is often interpreted as a depiction of the god Odin, healing his horse.
Wolfgang Krause translates the inscription as: "Hariuha I am called: the dangerous knowledgeable one: I give chance." farauisa is interpreted as fara-uisa, either "danger-wise" or "travel-wise". Erik Moltke translates this word as "one who is wise about dangers". The giving of "chance" or "luck" in the inscription is evidence of the use of bracteates as amulets.
The inscription *hariuha is suggested to contain the Germanic noun *harja, meaning "army, troop" - a common occurrence in Germanic compound names.

Pink to get Vanguard award at MTV Video Music Awards
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Pink has been chosen to receive the 2017 Vanguard Award, MTV’s equivalent of a lifetime achievement honor for video music, the U.S. cable and satellite television channel said on Tuesday. Pink, 37, known for her powerhouse vocals and acrobatic live shows, is being recognized for her impact on music, pop culture, fashion and philanthropy over the course of her 17-year career, the Viacom Inc unit said in a statement. The “Don’t Let Me Get Me” Philadelphia-born singer has released six studio albums since her debut in 2000, and won three Grammys and six MTV Video Music Awards. She is also a UNICEF ambassador for children’s nutrition worldwide and supports causes ranging from autism to human rights. Pink will receive the honor at the MTV Video Music Awards show in Los Angeles on Aug. 27, where she will perform her latest single “What About Us.” She joins previous Vanguard recipients including Rihanna, Kanye West, Beyonce and Michael Jackson.

Rh The baptism washes away a taboo, just as we would wash mud off our fingers before shaking hands with a lady. The water used may or may not be holy or sacred. It really does not matter much. But the cleansing must be effected, and by the imitation of washing. Indeed, the cleansing or purification may be accomplished without the aid of water at all. For in some places it is brought about by sprinkling with salt (Armenia, Georgia, etc.), or by fumigation (Bombe tribes of Central Africa, etc.).
In the well-cures, on the other hand, the water, and not the washing, is the all-important part, the soul, of the rite. The child must be brought into intimate contact with the water, in the well if possible. Infant baptism seldom takes the form of a dipping, it is usually a laving or sprinkling. But in the well-cure the child is stripped and laid in the well, and at the same time is made to drink of the water as copiously as possible, as if it was intended that he should obtain from the water some mystic and vital property of which he stood in need.
What was this mystic and vital property? It was the principle of life.
In order to substantiate this statement, let us see what evidence exists, other than is suggested by the cure of disease, for the vital connection of children with wells. In this further development of our enquiry, I shall extend the scope of our investigations to include water generally—in wells, ponds, brooks, rivers, and in the clouds and sea. We shall come across some interesting facts in folk-lore bearing on this point.
Every child knows where our babies in England have come from. From the gooseberry-bushes, of course! But in Hesse and Halle in Germany they come from the wells! The stork brings them no doubt, but where does he get them? In the wells, ponds, rivers, and so

Talk:Zen Internet/Archive 1
Image etc
I removed an image of the company logo which was a duplicate. Logos should only be used to identify a company which had already been done, WP has strict rules on advertising. I know this survived AfD but thats extra reason to be careful. Also, IMO from a style point of view a short history and a long list of niche awards doesnt make a compelling article. Dei z io 22:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I've added some network and technology information which might help this, I've provided links to the hibernia press-release to cite sources. Dnel 15:52, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
* The article would benefit from a link to a feature / article in a major media source which presents the company as significant. I wikified the links section, including removing links to the support site and a blog which do not offer anything encyclopedic. Again, gotta be real careful re: possible advertising.

Just to clarify, ns0 and ns1 have nothing to do with the NSA or GCHQ.... they seem to act as name servers, and are in fact.... name servers.

Improvement to article
I've added some of the references to this company I previously identified (see above) as well as other relevant info in an effort to improve its quality. I've removed the "This article or section is written like an advertisement" template as after review of other ISP articles I found more relevant info on the Zen page. If anyone could highlight areas which they consider advertisements maybe we should remove those? (Maybe the 'Products' section?) Again, not sure of the exact procedure for removing/adding the "Advert" template but if i've done this wrong or prematurely then accept my apologies. I hope my additions have helped, not hindered.

What Is Mesothelium?
The mesothelium is a membrane that forms the lining of several body cavities: the pleura (thoracal cavity), peritoneum (abdominal cavity including the mesentery) and pericardium (heart sac). Mesothelium derives from the embryonic mesoderm cell layer, that lines the coelom (body cavity) in the embryo. It develops into the layer of cells that covers and protects most of the internal organs of the body.
The mesothelium produces a lubricating fluid that is released between these layers, allowing moving organs (such as the beating heart and the expanding and contracting lungs) to glide easily against adjacent structures. Mesothelial tissue also surrounds the male internal reproductive organs (the tunica vaginalis testis) and covers the internal reproductive organs of women (the tunica serosa uteri). Mesothelium that covers the internal organs is called visceral mesothelium, while the layer that covers the body walls is called the parietal mesothelium.
The mesothelium has different names, depending on its location in the body. The peritoneum is the mesothelial tissue that covers most of the organs in the abdominal cavity. The pleura is the membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the wall of the chest cavity. The pericardium covers and protects the heart. The mesothelial tissue surrounding the male internal reproductive organs is called the tunica vaginalis testis. The tunica serosa uteri covers the internal reproductive organs in women.

* Delete. Disclaimers in specific articles increase Wikipedia's liability: if some articles have disclaimers, then any article that does not have a disclaimer can be assumed by the reader to not need one. And to make matters worse, articles without disclaimers are also the ones more likely to get the reader in trouble -- if someone's gone to the effort of adding a disclaimer to an article, they've probably also gone to the effort of making sure the article is reasonably accurate. --Carnildo 22:16, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Python Question
Send scapy packets through raw sockets in python
Is it possible? If yes? How?
This is my script (it doesn't work):
from scapy.all import *
import socket
try:
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
p=IP(dst="192.168.1.254")/TCP(flags="S", sport=RandShort(), dport=80)
s.connect(("192.168.1.254",80))
s.send(p)
print ("Request sent!")
except:
print ("An error occurred.")
Answer
To send a scapy packet using raw sockets you have to convert your packet to raw bytes first. For example a packet crafted using scapy like this:
p = IP(dst="192.168.1.254")/TCP(flags="S", sport=RandShort(),dport=80)
should be converted to raw bytes with bytes(p). This will give you something like:
'E\x00\x00(\x00\x01\x00\x00@\x06\xf6w\xc0\xa8\x01\t\xc0\xa8\x01\xfe\x97%\x00P\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00P\x02 \x00t\x15\x00\x00'
Then you can send it using raw sockets. So for your example you could modify a little your code like:
from scapy.all import *
import socket
try:
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
p = IP(dst="192.168.1.254")/TCP(flags="S", sport=RandShort(),dport=80)
s.connect(("192.168.1.254",80))
s.send(bytes(p))
print "[+] Request Sent!"
except Exception, e:
raise e
This should work!

Z15/16 Beijing-Harbin Through Train
The Z15/16 Beijing-Harbin Through Train is a non-stop express train between Beijing and Harbin, capital of the Heilongjiang province, operated by Harbin Railway Bureau using 25T soft sleeper carriages. The 1249 km journey spans across the entire Beijing–Harbin railway. The train from Beijing railway station to Harbin West railway station is numbered Z15, with a journey time of 9 hours and 58 minutes; while the train in the opposite direction is numbered Z16, with a journey time of 9 hours and 54 minutes.
Launch and development
In 2004, as part of the fifth "Speed-Up campaign" by the Ministry of Railways, 19 pairs of non-stop express trains were launched, most of them along the Beijing-Harbin Railway and Beijing-Shanghai Railway. These trains would depart at night and arrive at the terminus the next morning. Among them were the Z15/16 Beijing-Harbin through train, operated by Harbin Railway Bureau. At that time, one way journey took 10 hours and 30 minutes, which was further compressed to 9 hours and 44 minutes in 2008. The route was favoured by many passengers, with its load factor reaching 90% just a month after its launch.
In 2017, the route was amended to originate from and terminate at Harbin West railway station, as Harbin railway station undergoes renovation works.
Carriages
Currently, the route uses 25T soft sleeper carriages built by Bombardier Sifang Power (Qingdao) Transportation Ltd. in 2003, with a power supply mode of AC380V.
Locomotive
Due to the unique power supply mode of the carriages, the DF11G diesel locomotive is utilised throughout the entire journey, with a technical stop at Shenyang North railway station for a change of drivers.
Schedule
Updated as of 10 April 2018.

Bash Question
Running Curl in Run Shell Script with arguments in Automator
I'm trying to send a curl command in Automator via the 'Run Shell Script', with arguments, but having no luck. I'm using /bin/bash and passing info as arguments. Here is my script but keep getting
Bad Request
from IFTTT. I get it's to do with not using the args correctly (if I just put
"value1":"test"
it works fine), how should I format the $1?
for f
do
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"value1":$1}' https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/Automator/with/key/heremykey
done
Thanks!
Answer
You should pass a valid JSON. There is no built-in JSON support in Bash, so you need to use external tools, such as PHP, or Node:
#!/bin/bash -
function json_encode {
printf "$1" | php -r 'echo json_encode(stream_get_contents(STDIN));'
}
for f
do
value=`json_encode "$f"`
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"value1\":$value}" \
https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/Automator/with/key/heremykey
done
The script is supposed to send {"value1": ...} string for each item in $@(because the short version of the for loop operates on $@).

Criticism of patents
Legal scholars, economists, activists, policymakers, industries, and trade organizations have held differing views on patents and engaged in contentious debates on the subject. Critical perspectives emerged in the nineteenth century that were especially based on the principles of free trade. Contemporary criticisms have echoed those arguments, claiming that patents block innovation and waste resources that could otherwise be used productively, and also block access to an increasingly important "commons" of enabling technologies (a phenomenon called the tragedy of the anticommons), apply a "one size fits all" model to industries with differing needs, that is especially unproductive for industries other than chemicals and pharmaceuticals and especially unproductive for the software industry. Enforcement by patent trolls of poor quality patents has led to criticism of the patent office as well as the system itself. Patents on pharmaceuticals have also been a particular focus of criticism, as the high prices they enable puts life-saving drugs out of reach of many people. Alternatives to patents have been proposed, such Joseph Stiglitz's suggestion of providing "prize money" (from a "prize fund" sponsored by the government) as a substitute for the lost profits associated with abstaining from the monopoly given by a patent.
These debates are part of a larger discourse on intellectual property protection which also reflects differing perspectives on copyright.
History
Criticism of patents reached an early peak in Victorian Britain between 1850 and 1880, in a campaign against patenting that expanded to target copyright too and, in the judgment of historian Adrian Johns, "remains to this day the strongest [campaign] ever undertaken against intellectual property", coming close to abolishing patents. Its most prominent activists – Isambard Kingdom Brunel, William Robert Grove, William Armstrong and Robert A. MacFie – were inventors and entrepreneurs, and it was also supported by radical laissez-faire economists (The Economist published anti-patent views), law scholars, scientists (who were concerned that patents were obstructing research) and manufacturers. Johns summarizes some of their main arguments as follows:
* [Patents] projected an artificial idol of the single inventor, radically denigrated the role of the intellectual commons, and blocked a path to this commons for other citizens – citizens who were all, on this account, potential inventors too. [...] Patentees were the equivalent of squatters on public land – or better, of uncouth market traders who planted their barrows in the middle of the highway and barred the way of the people.
Similar debates took place during that time in other European countries such as France, Prussia, Switzerland and the Netherlands (but not in the United States).
Based on the criticism of patents as state-granted monopolies perceived to be inconsistent with free trade, the Netherlands abolished patents in 1869 (having established them in 1817) – but later reversed the action and reintroduced them in 1912. In Switzerland, criticism of patents delayed the introduction of patent laws until 1907.
Contemporary arguments
Contemporary arguments have focused on ways that patents can slow innovation by: blocking researchers' and companies' access to basic, enabling technology, and particularly following the explosion of patent filings in the 1990s, through the creation of "patent thickets"; wasting productive time and resources fending off enforcement of low-quality patents that should not have existed, particularly by "patent trolls"; and wasting money on patent litigation. Patents on pharmaceuticals have been a particular focus of criticism, as the high prices they enable puts life-saving drugs out of reach of many people.
Blocking innovation
The most general argument against patents is that "intellectual property" in all its forms represents an effort to claim something that should not be owned, and harms society by slowing innovation and wasting resources.
Law professors Michael Heller and Rebecca Sue Eisenberg have described an ongoing tragedy of the anticommons with regard to the proliferation of patents in the field of biotechnology, wherein intellectual property rights have become so fragmented that, effectively, no one can take advantage of them as to do so would require an agreement between the owners of all of the fragments.
Some public campaigns for improving access to medicines and genetically modified food have expressed a concern for "preventing the over-reach" of intellectual property protection including patent protection, and "to retain a public balance in property rights". Some economists and scientists and law professors have raised concerns that patents retard technical progress and innovation. Others claim that patents have had no effect on research, based on surveys of scientists.
In a 2008 publication, Yi Quan of the Kellogg School of Management concluded that the imposition of pharmaceutical patents under the TRIPS Agreement did not increase innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. The publication also said there appeared to be an optimal level of patent protection that increased domestic innovation.
Poor patent quality and patent trolls
Patents have also been criticized for being granted on already-known inventions, with some complaining in the United States that the USPTO fails "to do a serious job of examining patents, thus allowing bad patents to slip through the system." On the other hand, some argue that because of low number of patents going into litigation, increasing quality of patents at patent prosecution stage increases overall legal costs associated with patents, and that current USPTO policy is a reasonable compromise between full trial on examination stage on one hand, and pure registration without examination, on the other hand. Also, the US offers several options to challenge the validity of (or to correct) an issued patent without going to court, such as a postgrant review within 9 months after issuance, inter partes review following 9 month after issuance, ex parte reexamination, supplemental examination and reissue.
Enforcement of patents – especially patents perceived as being overly broad – by patent trolls, has brought criticism of the patent system, though some commentators suggest that patent trolls are not bad for the patent system at all but instead realign market participant incentives, make patents more liquid, and clear the patent market.
Some patents granted in Russia have been denounced as pseudoscientific (for example, health-related patents using lunar phase or religious icons).
Litigation costs
According to James Bessen, the costs of patent litigation exceed their investment value in all industries except chemistry and pharmaceuticals. For example, in the software industry, litigation costs are twice the investment value. Bessen and Meurer also note that software and business model litigation accounts for a disproportionate share (almost 40 percent) of patent litigation cost, and the poor performance of the patent system negatively affects these industries.
Different industries but one law
Richard Posner noted that the most controversial feature of US patent law is that it covers all industries in the same way, but not all industries benefit from the time-limited monopoly a patent provides in order to spur innovation. He said that while the pharmaceutical industry is "poster child" for the need for a twenty-year monopoly, since costs to bring to a market are high, the time of development is often long, and the risks are high, in other industries like software the cost and risk of innovation is much lower and the cycle of innovation is quicker, and obtaining and enforcing patents and defending against patent litigation is generally a waste of resources in those industries.
Pharmaceutical patents
Some have raised ethical objections specifically with respect to pharmaceutical patents and the high prices for medication that they enable their proprietors to charge, which poor people in the developed world, and developing world, cannot afford. Critics also question the rationale that exclusive patent rights and the resulting high prices are required for pharmaceutical companies to recoup the large investments needed for research and development. One study concluded that marketing expenditures for new drugs often doubled the amount that was allocated for research and development.
In 2003, World Trade Organization (WTO) reached an agreement, which provides a developing country with options for obtaining needed medications under compulsory licensing or importation of cheaper versions of the drugs, even before patent expiration.
In 2007 the government of Brazil declared Merck's efavirenz anti-retroviral drug a "public interest" medicine, and challenged Merck to negotiate lower prices with the government or have Brazil strip the patent by issuing a compulsory license.
It is reported that Ghana, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia have similar plans to produce generic antiviral drugs. Western pharmaceutical companies initially responded with legal challenges, but some have now promised to introduce alternative pricing structures for developing countries and NGOs.
In July 2008 Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sir John Sulston called for an international biomedical treaty to clear up issues over patents.
In response to these criticisms, one review concluded that less than 5 percent of medicines on the World Health Organization's list of essential drugs are under patent. Also, the pharmaceutical industry has contributed US$2 billion for healthcare in developing countries, providing HIV/AIDS drugs at lower cost or even free of charge in certain countries, and has used differential pricing and parallel imports to provide medication to the poor. Other groups are investigating how social inclusion and equitable distribution of research and development findings can be obtained within the existing intellectual property framework, although these efforts have received less exposure.
Quoting a World Health Organization report, Trevor Jones (director of research and development at the Wellcome Foundation, as of 2006) argued in 2006 that patent monopolies do not create monopoly pricing. He argued that the companies given monopolies "set prices largely on the willingness/ability to pay, also taking into account the country, disease and regulation" instead of receiving competition from legalized generics.
Proposed alternatives to the patent system
Alternatives have been discussed to address the issue of financial incentivization to replace patents. Mostly, they are related to some form of direct or indirect government funding. One example is Joseph Stiglitz's idea of providing "prize money" (from a "prize fund" sponsored by the government) as a substitute for the lost profits associated with abstaining from the monopoly given by a patent. Another approach is to remove the issue of financing development from the private sphere altogether, and to cover the costs with direct government funding.

[Mondrian] connection pooling/cache linked to connection?
Julian Hyde jhyde at pentaho.com
Mon Jul 30 18:04:16 EDT 2012
Paul,
As I said on IRC this morning, for connections to share a cache they need to be using the same RolapSchema object. I don't know the details of how you are connecting (you mentioned that DynamicSchemaProcessor is involved), or remember the details of Mondrian's algorithm. But if the net effect is that different connections are getting different RolapSchema objects (and it sounds like this is the case), then you are sunk.

Converting presentation slides to HTML blog post with images
05.04.2013
| 4097 views |
• submit to reddit
Here is a Python script to convert a PDF to series of HTML <img> tags with alt texts. It makes the presentation suitable embedded for a blog post and reading on a mobile device and such.
The motivation for creating this script is that services creating embedded slideshow viewers (SlideShare, Speaker Deck) create <iframe> based output that is not RSS reader friendly. For example, blog aggregation services and soon defunct Google Reader may strip out the presentations <iframe> from RSS feeds. Also, generated <iframe> viewers are not mobile friendly. If you want to share your slides in a blog post using plain old HTML and images is the most bullet-proof way of doing it.
The script also shows the power of Python scripting, when combined with UNIX command line tools like Ghostscript PDF renderer and high availability of ready-made Python libraries from PyPi repository.
Example Workflow:
• Export presentation from Apple Keynote to PDF file. On Export dialog untick include date and add borders around slides.
• Run the script against generated PDF file to convert it to a series of JPEG files and a HTML snippet with <img> tags
• Optionally, the scripts adds a full URL prefix to <img src>, so you don’t need to manually link images to your hosting service absolute URL
• Copy-paste generated HTML to your blog post
Tested with Apple Keynote exported PDFs, but the approach should work for any PDF content.
See example blog post and presentation.

NAME
exact::me - Original program path locations extension for exact
VERSION
version 1.03
SYNOPSIS
use exact -me;
say me(); # full path to $0
say me('../dir/file'); # full path based on relative dir from $0 dir
say me('dir/file'); # full path found from $0 dir or in a parent of it
DESCRIPTION
exact::me is an extension for exact that imports a me() function into the calling namespace.
use exact -me;
IMPORTED FUNCTION
The following function is imported:
me
This function when called without any input will return the path to the current program ($0):
say me(); # full path to $0
When provided with a relative path, it will generate a full path by combining the input with a full path to the current program ($0):
say me('../dir/file'); # full path based on relative dir from $0 dir
For input that is a relative path that does not begin with ".", a relative path will be searched for at or above the directory of the program ($0). If found, that path will be returned; otherwise, undef.
say me('dir/file'); # full path found from $0 dir or in a parent of it
See the exact documentation for additional information about extensions. The intended use of exact::me is via the extension interface of exact.
use exact -me, -conf, -noutf8;
However, you can also use it directly, which will also use exact with default options:
use exact::me;

For every languid English gentleman, who had fled to France to enjoy the consolations of the Catholic re- ligion, a hundred Flemish artisans sought the Island where they could toil in safety with their families, wor- ship after their own fashion, and eat the fruit of their labours. The thousand ships, which in the old times had sought annually the waters of the Scheldt, now discharged their cargoes on the wharves between Lon- don and Blackwall ; and the great English commercial companies were absorbing the trade of the world, while the Castiles were drained of their manhood to feed the Flanders armies or defend the Empire of the two In- dies. Gallicia, Portugal, and Andalusia, were saved from periodic famines by English corn. The Inquisi- tion itself had at length bowed before the mystery of Providence which had given plenty to heretics, and need and hunger to true believers ; and Philip, waiting for the time when Guise or Parma should have con- quered their wealth for the servants of the Church, was compelled meanwhile to invite to his harbours, by spe- cial privileges and favours, the insolent Islanders who brought food to his perishing subjects. New markets were opened daily for the fast-increasing manufactures, and difficulties only served to call out fresh resources. A trade had sprung up with the East.

Adoption in Italy
Adoptions in Italy numbered 4,130 in 2010. This figure relates to overseas adoptions, domestic adoption from within Italy being relatively difficult.
In 2006 there were 11,000 couples in Italy on the waiting lists of various adoption agencies.
As in most jurisdictions, prospective adoptive parents are required to undergo assessment and must show that they will make suitable parents. Italian law requires adopters to be married (or living together) for at least 3 years. There are also restrictions on the age difference between the prospective parents and the child or children they wish to adopt. On June 22, 2016, the possibility of stepchild adoption by LGBT couples was confirmed by the Court of Cassation in a decision published on 22 June 2016. However, Italian law prohibits adoption by single parents, unless one of the parents inherited custody of the child through either legal separation or death of a spouse.
According to statistical data published by the Italian Commissione per le Adozioni Internazionali, 2010 was the year with the highest number of international adoptions by Italian couples. The Commission for International Adoptions, chaired by Undersecretary Senator Carlo Giovanardi, granted entry in Italy to 4130 children from 58 countries, up from 3964 in 2009 (4.2% increase), 639 of which were special needs children.
The first country of origin is the Russian Federation with 707 children, but there was a particularly high increase in the number of children from Colombia, who numbered 592 compared to 444 of 2009. Colombia is therefore the second largest country of origin, followed by Ukraine with 426 adoptions, Brazil with 318, Ethiopia with 274, Vietnam with 251 and Poland with 193.
There was a significant increase of children from Latin America (+16.34%) and Asia (+34.71%) despite changes in domestic laws taking place in countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Nepal. Children from African countries numbered 443.
The Italian region with the highest number of adoptions is Lombardy, followed by Latium, Tuscany and Veneto, but a significant increase was noted in the southern regions, especially Campania, Apulia, Calabria and Sardinia. The only region where international adoptions in 2010 decreased by 14% was Sicily.
Foreign children adopted by Italian couples in 2010 were on average 6 years old, up from 5.9 in 2009.

Abstract
Registration of Solar Prominences.—In a recent issue (No. 88) of the Bulletin of the Kodaikanal Observatory -a biannual publication containing current observations of solar prominences and disc phenomena recorded spectroscopically at Kodaikanal—the Director, Dr. T. Royds, directs attention to the publication of additional data of prominences photographed in hydrogen light (Ha). There are two spectroheliographs in daily use at this observatory, one of which is used for obtaining composite photographs showing the disc markings and the prominences at the sun's limbs in calcium light (K), whilst the other instrument is employed for registering the disc markings in hydrogen (Ha) light. Owing to the increased speed of panchromatic plates, it has been found possible to include in the daily programme since Jan. 1, 1929, the registration of the prominences in hydrogen light. Dr. Royds finds that the mean daily areas of Ha prominences in 1929 are considerably less, about 54 per cent, than those of the calcium prominences. This, he points out, is not necessarily to be interpreted as evidence that the hydrogen prominences are less extensive or less high than calcium prominences, for there are numerous examples where individual prominences are identical in shape, height, and area in the Ha and the K photographs. There is, however, considerable evidence that in the fainter and more scattered parts of K prominences the Ha counterpart is relatively much fainter when compared with the brighter parts of the prominence. This is not a photographic effect caused by the under-exposure of the Ha plate, for whilst the main part of a prominence may be stronger in the Ha photograph than in the calcium, the reverse is often true in the fainter parts of the same prominence. The exact relations between the relative intensities in different parts of Ha and K prominences require further study, and it is very satisfactory that data for this purpose will be accumulated at Kodaikanal.

Donald Trump seeks to ease suspicion in oil country
Donald Trump has championed the ethanol mandate that oil companies hate, dismissed the petroleum industry as a “special interest" and mused about claiming a “chunk” of the Keystone XL pipeline's profits for “the people of this country.” But on Thursday he'll seek to woo once-wary oil and gas executives in the fracking hotbed of North Dakota, in yet another bid to consolidate his support among skeptical corners of the traditional GOP coalition. His speech, expected to focus on themes such as energy independence, follows a primary campaign season in which he once accused industry favorite Ted Cruz of being “totally controlled by the oil companies" — yet now must convince the same industry that he can offer the regulatory certainty it craves. "He is a wild card. He’s been all over the map," one oil industry lobbyist told POLITICO. "You’re always going to have your guard up with somebody you’re unfamiliar with. He definitely has a lot to prove.” Even so, interviews with more than a dozen oil executives, lobbyists and their allies in Congress show that the industry is slowly starting to warm up to Trump. The reasons include the fact that the only other likely alternative is Hillary Clinton, whose positions on energy policy have veered leftward as she tries to finish off Bernie Sanders' primary challenge. In addition, Trump's campaign is trying to woo the industry by charting a more legible energy policy agenda, something he'll try to further on Thursday when he delivers the keynote address at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference. North Dakota is an epicenter of the domestic oil and gas boom that has turned the U.S. into one of the world’s biggest energy producers, although the region is suffering now amid a huge price plunge triggered by Saudi Arabia. "I think there’s a lot of question marks as to where Trump is on energy policy, but based on what we know and based on the fact that he’s running against Hillary, I don’t think I have much of a choice," said GOP donor Dan Eberhart, the CEO of the oilfield services company Canary LLC. Eberhart, a former supporter of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, is now supporting Trump. "Trump makes us decidedly less nervous than [Clinton's] apparent play to Bernie's voters," said Stephen Brown, the vice president of federal government affairs at the refining company Tesoro. "It would be hard to imagine that a Trump presidency would not be a welcome change to the regulatory tsunami now being experienced so, no, nervousness about Trump is not what keeps our folks up at night." Even the lobbyist who criticized the comments Trump made during the primaries said the industry might be willing to give him a pass because he was "clearly winging it." Trump adviser Paul Manafort told Senate Republican staffers at a recent closed-door meeting that Thursday's speech will center on energy independence, according to a person who attended — a common industry synonym for loosening the federal restrictions on oil and gas drilling. "I think you can expect a substantive policy speech, and when I say substantive — excuse the pun — I don’t think he’s going to drill down real deep on everything," said Rep. Kevin Cramer, a North Dakota Republican who has advised the Trump campaign on energy issues. "But I think he’ll be substantive on oil and gas and the context of the global markets and national security." Then again, Trump is Trump, so nobody can really predict what he might say Thursday. During the primaries, the GOP front-runner made a number of comments that caused heartburn in oil country — or at least raised plenty of eyebrows. Before February’s caucuses in corn-rich Iowa, he pledged his support for the congressionally created ethanol mandate and hammered Cruz, who vowed to abolish it. He questioned the idea of loosening Washington's grip on federal lands, and suggested he would approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline but would “make a deal for this country where we get a chunk of it. … They're going to make tremendous amounts of money.” More recently, a coal executive who endorsed Trump's White House bid reported that the New York real estate magnate was mystified by the acronym for liquefied natural gas, the condensed fossil fuel that U.S. companies are fighting to ship all over the world. On the other hand, Trump has also sung the industry's gospel in attacking President Barack Obama's climate agenda, has called for “renegotiating” December’s global climate agreement and has urged budget cuts for the EPA, which he mistakenly referred to as the "DEP." He has even gone further than some in the oil industry in outright scoffing at the reality of climate change, which he described in 2012 as a concept "created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." Trump has already won the endorsement of two major industry figures: Texas oil and gas magnate T. Boone Pickens and Continental Resources CEO Harold Hamm, who had been Mitt Romney’s top energy adviser in 2012. Industry sources said Hamm encouraged Trump to flesh out his energy agenda in North Dakota, and one industry official expects Hamm to play a more central role in the campaign, perhaps as a policy adviser. "I’m confident Donald Trump will deliver on his promise to make America great again — and developing America’s oil and natural gas resources will play a significant role in accomplishing this mission," Hamm said in a statement. Pickens declined through a spokesperson to comment on Trump’s energy policy record or the speech. A Trump spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment on this story. Just two months ago, the industry’s top lobbyist in Washington — American Petroleum Institute CEO Jack Gerard — declined to say in an interview whom he planned to vote for in November. An API spokesman did not respond to a question about where Gerard stands now, saying only that the group has provided energy policy recommendations to the committee drafting both parties' policy platforms. The same wariness is reflected in the industry’s campaign contributions: Oil and gas interests have donated just $12,833 to Trump’s campaign, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, compared with $332,739 for Clinton and $81,674 for Sanders. Eberhart said Trump faces a "steep learning curve" on energy policy issues, adding that he hopes the candidate fleshes out his platform during Thursday's speech. But he said he's pleased with Trump's support for drilling and oil exports, arguing he'll be a "breath of fresh air" for U.S. businesses. And compared with Clinton, who largely supports Obama's climate change agenda and has promised to severely limit fracking, some in the oil industry say Trump is by far their best bet. William Prentice — the CEO of Meridian Energy Group, which is developing an oil refinery in North Dakota — said Trump is a "complete unknown" on energy policy. But Prentice hopes Trump will chart a different course from Obama and Clinton. "The last eight years have been pretty hard on the industry, and I think people are looking for an opportunity to be optimistic about the next several years," he said in an interview. Oil industry officials said their opinion about Trump began to change for the better when his campaign tapped Cramer, a former state energy regulator, to make energy policy recommendations ahead of the speech. The campaign also recently hired John Mashburn, the former chief of staff to Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, as its policy director. Mashburn has reached out to staff at right-leaning think tanks to get their input on key policies, including energy, according to a source familiar with the issue. "He clearly is pivoting to a more rational world view," the lobbyist said, pointing to reports that Cramer has recommended that Trump let the federal ethanol mandate expire in 2022. “He’s surrounding himself with good people and he’s going to get smarter. Not only is he going to get smarter, he’s going to get correct.” In a recent interview, Cramer said he delivered a four-page energy policy proposal to Trump's campaign earlier this month that recommends endorsing a "states-first" agenda that includes killing Obama's climate change regulations for power plants and other environmental rules, while considering eliminating tax breaks for wind and solar energy. Cramer has also touted legislation he co-sponsored that would establish a U.S. commission to investigate whether OPEC is involved in "anti-competitive" activity in the oil market and make recommendations to "reduce the adverse impacts on the United States of such involvement." That message could resonate with Trump, who has criticized OPEC in the past — although Trump’s complaint five years ago was that oil prices were too high for consumers, not too low for the industry’s bottom line. But Trump's campaign nearly lost its newfound credibility with the fossil fuel industry when The Hill inaccurately reported earlier this month that Cramer would call on Trump to endorse a tax on carbon emissions. The story set off a panic among fossil fuel interests, and one source said the Koch-backed group Americans for Prosperity even considered running ads against Cramer over the carbon tax, but the furor subsided after the news site corrected its report. Trump weighed in as well — in a possible signal that he didn't want to inflame tensions with industry and its allies. "I will not support or endorse a carbon tax!" he wrote on Twitter. Alex Isenstadt and Alex Guillén contributed to this report.

40 negroes and savages in many parts of the world paint their faces with red, blue, white, or black bars, so the male mandrill of Africa appears to have acquired his deeply-furrowed and gaudily-colored face from having been thus rendered attractive to the female."
And again " In Regard to Colour, the new-born negro child is reddish nut-brown, which soon becomes slaty-grey; the black colour being fully developed within a year in the Soudan, but not until three years in Egypt. The eyes of the negro are at first blue, and the hair chestnut-brown rather than black, being curled only at the ends." In short, as has long been known, in his physical organization the typical West Coast negro, whether living in Africa or living in America is as near the anthropoid apes as any of the savage races of mankind,—perhaps the nearest. He is untold ages nearer than is the typical representative of the best in the white race. Taken as a whole we may say the same thing of him, when we take his mental and moral qualifications into consideration. Further along in the present work I shall touch more fully upon these points than I intend to in the present chapter. Professor Keane has said some wise and true things illustrating this side of the negro character. He states that the mental differences between the negro and the white races are quite as well marked as the physical ones,

Brighten Your Smile: Guide to How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Cleaned
The dental industry raked in $138 billion in revenues this year. And considering all the work they do to keep our mouths clean and smiles bright, it’s no wonder.
Getting your teeth cleaned is pretty important. But how often should you get your teeth cleaned? Does that age-old adage about seeing your dentist twice a year still hold?
Well, we’re answering those questions and more for your today with this handy dandy guide. Ready to learn everything you ever wanted to know about getting your teeth cleaned? Keep reading for the low down.
Why You Should Get Your Teeth Cleaned
You may know how important it is to get your teeth cleaned. But what you may not understand is why cleanings are so important. Let’s discuss three of the top reasons twice or more a year visits to your local dentist are so vital.
Toothaches and Pains
Have a tooth that’s been bothering you? Whether it’s a wisdom tooth or a cavity, dental cleanings can help treat the cause– bacteria. What’s more, regular cleanings can help the problem from getting worse, especially when you start getting regular cleanings young.
Tooth Decay
When you let toothaches and pains go untreated, you may start to notice the signs of tooth decay. These include discoloration, sensitivity to hot and cold foods or drinks, and visible holes in your teeth.
If you wait until the decay has worsened to see a dentist, you’re more likely to need expensive surgeries (i.e., a root canal) to fix the problem. And failing to address this issue at all could lead to tooth loss.
Tooth Loss
Believe it or not, failing to get your teeth cleaned regularly is highly correlated with tooth loss. Losing teeth isn’t just devastating, it’s also expensive since dentures, crowns, and prosthetic teeth are so expensive these days. Why not prevent tooth loss altogether by seeing a dentist for twice-yearly cleanings.
How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Cleaned?
You’ve heard it before: you need to get your teeth cleaned twice yearly. But did you know that recommendation only applies to people with good oral hygiene? People who don’t brush and floss often will likely need to visit the dentist more often.
Why? Because even though a cleaning removes the bacteria built up in your teeth and gums, that bacteria starts to return. And some research suggests it can return as early as 24 to 48 hours post-cleaning.
Even worse, forgoing cleanings altogether can cause dangerous buildup of this bacteria in your mouth. The buildup then goes through a process called calcification. And once this happens, brushing and flossing alone won’t remove all that junk.
So, what’s the bottom line? Twice yearly or more cleanings are absolutely vital to keep your mouth healthy and prevent future tooth loss. To determine how often you should get your teeth cleaned, consult a dentist or dental hygienist near you.
5 Signs That it’s Time for Cleaning
Now that you know how often you should get your teeth cleaned, you’re probably wondering: what are the signs I should look out for to know when I need to head in for a visit? One of the first signs of harmful bacteria buildup is toothaches and pains.
Here are 5 more things to look out for that mean you need to get your teeth cleaned.
1. Visible Tartar Buildup
When bacteria isn’t thoroughly cleaned off your teeth, it calcifies. And when this happens, you can see the visible signs via tartar. Tartar is a hard white substance that’s usually visible on the parts of your teeth nearest your gums.
Though frequent brushing and flossing can prevent its buildup, there’s nothing you can do to get rid of tartar at home. That’s why this is one of the first signs that you need to get a dental cleaning.
2. Bad Breath
Did you know that bad breath is caused by a chemical reaction between your saliva and nasty bacteria on your teeth? When these two substances mix together, a stinky gas is released from your mouth. You’ll notice that this smell persists even after brushing and leaves a nasty taste in your mouth.
Yes, bad breath is also caused by medications, infections, and other more severe health conditions. But if your doctor rules these conditions out, one of the simplest and easiest treatments for bad breath is a simple cleaning.
3. Bleeding after Brushing or Flossing
Bacteria buildup doesn’t just cause tartar. It also leads to more serious issues like gingivitis, AKA gum disease. Though the next sign on our list is one symptom of gum disease, we’re talking first about bleeding gums. That’s because bleeding after brushing or flossing is one of the earliest signs of gingivitis.
Nearly half of people aged over 30 years experience some form of gum disease. So if you think you may have gingivitis, you’re in good company. And the other good thing is that, if caught early, gingivitis can sometimes be reversed before it leads to more severe problems.
4. Red or Inflamed Gums
Another sign of gum disease is red gums with inflamed patches. Inflammation of your gums will give them a puffy appearance. If you run your tongue over your gums and feel soft or squishy bumps, that’s a sign it’s time to head in for a cleaning.
5. It’s Been a While
So, you think your teeth and gums look great. There are no visible signs of bacteria buildup or decay. That means you don’t have to go in for your twice-yearly cleanings, right?
Wrong! Everyone needs their teeth cleaned at least once a year, preferably twice a year to keep your mouth and smile in great shape. And trust us, you’ll thank your dentist later when you don’t have to shell out thousands of dollars for root canals and other pricey corrective surgeries.

Side effects often experienced while on a detox diet include feeling tired, headaches, light-headedness and nausea. These symptoms are often usually caused by a lack of food as detox diets are often low in calories. This lack of food can lead to cravings for high sugar and high fat foods, which can knock you off your diet and do a lot of damage in a short space of time
Mild and healthy, spinach is the perfect base to many meals and allows bold flavors to seep in and soak the leaves. Precooked lentils make this healthy lunch come together in 10 minutes (or less!). You can also roast the beets ahead of time—look for the golden variety in grocery stores. They're much less messy than red beets, which can stain your hands and your cutting board.
This colorful grain bowl is a great make-ahead option for lunches or warm summer evenings. To cook the farro, simmer 1 cup uncooked unpearled farro in about 6 cups water for 25 minutes or until slightly chewy, and then drain, cool, and refrigerate. The bowls are delicious at room temperature, but you can also heat the beans with a splash of chicken stock and reheat the vegetables in a sauté pan with 1 or 2 teaspoons of oil. Cold eggs are best for soft-boiling so the yolk stays slightly runny after the whites are set. Add straight from the refrigerator once the water starts to boil.
The term "detox diet" is broad, divisive, and often conjures thoughts of cleanses featuring cayenne-laced lemon water that promise to curb cravings, boost energy, and help you lose weight. Many people are quick to say they’re all a hoax, too, since the body is more than capable of taking care of itself, thanks to our built-in detoxification system starring the liver.
A new twist on an old favorite ― if your favorite recipe calls for frying fish or breaded chicken, try healthier variations using baking or grilling. Maybe even try a recipe that uses dry beans in place of higher-fat meats. Ask around or search the internet and magazines for recipes with fewer calories ― you might be surprised to find you have a new favorite dish!

An important take-home message is to focus on the types of foods you eat and your overall dietary pattern, instead of on individual nutrients such as fat, dietary cholesterol, or specific vitamins. There are no single nutrients or vitamins that can make you healthy. Instead, there is a short list of key food types that together can dramatically reduce your risk for heart disease.
There's a lot of advice out there on how to eat healthy, and if we're being honest, it can sometimes feel like too much to think about. Especially when you're hungry (AKA always). Remember when you were a kid and eating was as simple as open, chew, enjoy? Yes, those were simpler times. Now, knowing how to eat healthy doesn't seem quite as straightforward. Between the diet fads, gourmet trends, and a rotating roster of superfoods, eating well has gotten, well, complicated.
Create an eating style that can improve your health now and in the future by making small changes over time. Consider changes that reflect your personal preferences, culture and traditions. Think of each change as a “win” as you build positive habits and find solutions that reflect your healthy eating style. Each change is a MyWin that can help you build your healthy eating style. Use the tips and links below to find little victories that work for you.
Certain devices are promoted to allegedly remove toxins from the body. One version involves a foot-bath using a mild electric current, while another involves small adhesive pads applied to the skin (usually the foot). In both cases, the production of an alleged brown "toxin" appears after a brief delay. In the case of the foot bath, the "toxin" is actually small amounts of rusted iron leaching from the electrodes.[17] The adhesive pads change color due to oxidation of the pads' ingredients in response to the skin's moisture. In both cases, the same color-changes occur irrespective of whether the water or patch even make contact with the skin (they merely require water—thus proving the color-change does not result from any body-detoxification process).[15]
Cycles of social reforms have been observed in religion, politics, the economy and other areas of human endeavor. Reforms to clean up society in regard to issues related to health also appear to come in cycles. Reform campaigns during Clean Living Movements include temperance (anti-alcohol), social purity (sexuality), diet, physical exercise, eugenics (heredity), public health, and anti-tobacco and drug campaigns. Interest in these issues rise and fall more or less simultaneously and often follow a religious awakening in which both evangelical sentiments and the development of new sects emerge. The movements also coincide with episodes of xenophobia or moral panic in which various minorities are targeted as undesirable influences for medical or moral reasons.
A "purity" or anti-prostitution and social hygiene (sexually transmitted diseases) movement went hand in hand with the elimination of other supposed evils, such as alcohol, from society. The purity movement also included the elimination of the double standard of sexuality for men and women. The eugenics movement to improve the human race was intertwined with these other movements. Pre-marital testing to ensure that neither partner had syphilis were passed in many states. In the United States, Eugenic sterilization laws were passed to prevent individuals with severe mental or physical health problems including alcoholism from reproducing were instituted in over 30 states
Her new eating plan Instead of detoxing to get more produce, Kelly needed to consume more whole fruit and vegetables as part of a balanced diet, Dawn Jackson Blatner, R.D.N., in Chicago, tells SELF. "Dawn taught me ways to work them in, like adding lots of zucchini to pasta sauce," Kelly says. Kelly planned for treats, such as a small cup of ice cream, that she could enjoy without overdoing it. And she cut back on takeout by cooking big meals and saving half for later.
The Progressive era's health reform movement emerged in the third great awakening. Individual health crusades, as part of an overall Clean Living Movement, included the temperance and the anti-saloon movement which evolved into the prohibition movement. This resulted in the Eighteenth Amendment, or prohibition. An anti-tobacco movement was found during this era and a number of cities had anti-smoking laws in public buildings. Trains, restaurants, and streetcars often had smoking and non smoking sections. However, these laws by the mid twentieth-century were generally ignored.
Clean Eating are getting popular these days. Many individual are shifting to this diet. Sierra Goldman did a great job in writing this eBook to help us understand and provide a concrete explanation on what Clean Eating is all about and what health benefits we can get in practising this diet.

At this point, you have a great base diet full of nourishing whole foods. But now it’s time to get more strategic and add in specific foods that have been shown to improve digestion, heal the gut (since a leaky gut can allow unwanted toxins into the bloodstream), and support the liver or assist your body’s detoxification processes in other ways. These 12 are a great place to start:
"Staying well-hydrated helps your body function properly, and it also helps make sure you don’t overeat," Pam Bede, M.S., R.D. with Abbott’s EAS Sports Nutrition, tells SELF. But it's not just that staying hydrated keeps you from overeating. According to Maxine Yeung, M.S., R.D., owner of The Wellness Whisk, sometimes you may feel hungry when, in fact, you're actually thirsty. Basically, no harm can come from drinking a glass of water.
To gain weight safely in older age, eat several smaller meals and focus on nutrient-dense foods. Examples include oatmeal with berries and walnuts; a salad with spinach, tomatoes, cheese, beans, shelled sunflower seeds, and avocado dressing; brown rice with raisins, almonds, chicken chunks, and asparagus pieces; or simple meals and snacks such as scrambled eggs with cheese or whole-wheat crackers with peanut butter. A healthy weight gain should happen slowly. Aim for gaining 2 or 3 pounds per month. (Locked) More »
The Drinking Detox. If you're not ready to change what you eat, you might start by changing what you drink. Many experts (and smart dieters) will tell you that the easiest way to lose weight is to give up alcohol either permanently or for a short time. Booze provides no significant nutritional benefits, it's full of calories and it may cause you to eat more junk food. For many dieters, simply saying no to alcohol is the best way to detox the body, sleep better at night, boost energy levels, and slim down.
Cannabis is catching a lot of attention this week following the news that even Coca-Cola is considering cannabis-infused drinks. While Coca-Cola isn’t the first company to consider tapping into the increasingly legal market, much like the tobacco company Altria (MO), home of Marlboro cigarettes, it is facing a waning market for its core sugary and […]
Trans fat: Some trans fat is naturally in fatty meat and dairy products. Artificial trans fats have been widely used in packaged baked goods and microwave popcorn. They're bad for heart health, so avoid them as much as possible. Look on the nutrition facts label to see how much trans fat is in an item. Know that something that says "0 g trans fat" may actually have up to half a gram of trans fat in it. So also check the ingredients list: If it mentions "partially hydrogenated" oils, those are trans fats.
Several years ago, scientists discovered a brain detoxification process called the glymphatic system that occurs when you sleep. According to Andy R. Eugene and Jolanta Masiak, insufficient sleep impairs your glymphatic system, causing toxin build up. Without quality sleep in the right amounts on a consistent basis, your body cannot effectively detoxify.
Endotoxins include compounds such as lactic acid, urea and waste products from microbes in the gut. Exotoxins include environmental toxins and pollutants, pesticides, mercury in seafood, lead from car exhaust and air pollution, chemicals in tobacco smoke, dioxin in feminine care products, phthalates from plastic and parabens from lotions and cosmetics.
When we think about our health, we often forget that our mental and emotional health is just as important as our physical health. When you feel blue, anxious or stressed, your whole body feels it. So find ways to support a clear and positive mind and spirit to limit the stress put on your physical health. Try meditation, yoga or other mindfulness practices, or find other things that help you relax. Foster positive relationships and love for yourself. Don’t make yourself an afterthought; make your well-being a priority.

Christiad
The Christiad (Latin Christias) is an epic poem in six cantos on the life of Jesus Christ by Marco Girolamo (Marcus Hieronymus) Vida modeled on Virgil. It was first published in Cremona in 1535 (see 1535 in poetry). According to Watson Kirkconnell, the Christiad, "was one of the most famous poems of the Early Renaissance". Furthermore, according to Kirkconnell, Vida's, "description of the Council in Hell, addressed by Lucifer, in Book I", was, "a feature later to be copied", by Torquato Tasso, Abraham Cowley, and by John Milton in Paradise Lost.

In this Phase II NIH SBIR, Actuated Medical, Inc. will complete the development of the Pedi-GJ-ClearTM device for clearing occlusions and restoring patency in-situ to pediatric gastrojejunal feeding tubes (GJ-tubes) - eliminating the need to surgically replace clogged tubes. Public Health Problem: Enteral nutrition is provided for patients that have a functioning lower gastrointestinal tract, but are unable to orally ingest nutrients, and are at risk of malnutrition. Conditions necessitating long-term enteral nutrition include prematurity, gastrointestinal dysfunction, cancer treatment, neurological disorders, heart disease, and congenital metabolic abnormalities. When long-term enteral access is needed, percutaneous gastrostomy, jejunostomy or gastrojejunal tubes can be surgically placed. Reported clogging rates of GJ and J-tubes have been as high as 35%, mainly due to the small bore, considerable length, and convoluted geometries for placement. Degradation of the tube due to fungal growth is another major issue. Furthermore, young pediatric patients tend to exhaust energy reserves very quickly and are highly susceptible to the dehydration, and hypo- and hyper-glycemia that can result from a clogged tube. In the U.S. 3,000 - 5,000 infants and children are dependent on narrow bore feeding tubes. The Pedi-GJ-Clear reliably clears occlusions and maintains feeding tube patency while the tube remains in the child. The Pedi-GJ-Clear operates around tight curves in long, narrow tubing without risk to bowel tissue, tube dislodgement, or tube integrity. The patent-pending catheter-based device employs a flexible wire in a smooth catheter, and an irrigation mechanism, optimized to clear obstructions quickly, restoring patency and cleaning inner-walls. The project goal is a non-surgical intervention option for patency re-establishment in obstructed pediatric GJ-tubes that is low cost and easy to operate. A routine maintenance cleaning will ultimately be included in patient care to maintain wall cleanliness and reduce tube degradation due to fungus and bacteria growth. Other indwelling tubes that suffer from occlusions and deterioration will be later targets for development and commercialization with the base platform technology. Phase I proved feasibility of the Pedi-GJ-Clear to clear occlusions and met the Specific Aims. Reviews by practicing clinicians were extremely positive and have been used to guide the Phase II Beta prototype design requirements. Phase II Hypothesis: The Pedi-GJ Clear will safely restore patency to occluded GJ-tubes in- patient with a success rate of at least 0.95 (95%) in a pilot human clinical trial (n = 30). Additionally, porcine testing (n e 30) confirms safety and efficacy t a success rate e 0.95.
Specific Aims : 1) Integration of final design features, including irrigation and electronics, 2) Fabrication and Design Verification 3) Design Validation and 4) Pilot Human Clinical Evaluation.

The objective was to compare mortality rates in well controlled HIV-infected adults in the SMART and ESPRIT clinical trials with the general population.
Methods:
Non-IDUs aged 20–70 years from the continuous ART control arms of ESPRIT and SMART were included if the person had both low HIV plasma viral loads (≤400 copies/ml SMART, ≤500 copies/ml ESPRIT) and high CD4+ T-cell counts (≥350 cells/μl) at any time in the past 6 months. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated by comparing death rates with the Human Mortality Database.
Results:
Three thousand, two hundred and eighty individuals [665 (20%) women], median age 43 years, contributed 12 357 person-years of follow-up. Sixty-two deaths occurred during follow up. Commonest cause of death was cardiovascular disease (CVD) or sudden death (19, 31%), followed by non-AIDS malignancy (12, 19%). Only two deaths (3%) were AIDS-related. Mortality rate was increased compared with the general population with a CD4+ cell count between 350 and 499 cells/μl [SMR 1.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17–2.55]. No evidence for increased mortality was seen with CD4+ cell counts greater than 500 cells/μl (SMR 1.00, 95% CI 0.69–1.40).
Conclusion:
In HIV-infected individuals on ART, with a recent undetectable viral load, who maintained or had recovery of CD4+ cell counts to at least 500 cells/μl, we identified no evidence for a raised risk of death compared with the general population.

Pretty stacktraces
Goal
The intention of this tool is to provide simpler debugging for Scala novices. It prettifies standard bytecode stacktrace by removing garbage, resolving name mangling and applying colors for better UX.
Example
Let's assume the following code:
extension (n: Int)
def !(n2: Int): Int =
if math.random < n/10.0 then throw RuntimeException("error")
n + n2
@main def run() =
val x = (0 to 10).flatMap {
n => List(n).map {
n => (if n > 5 then List(true) else List(false)).flatMap {
n => (if n then List("0") else List("5")).map {
n => n.toInt ! n.toInt ! n.toInt
}
}
}
}
After executing it with sbt run we get following output:

As you can see the stacktrace has a lot of internal bytecode calls which does not resemble Scala code:
• name ! is translated to $bang
• lambdas has synthetic names like $anonfun$1$$anonfun$1$$anonfun$1$$anonfun$1
• synthetic functions which don't have source code conterparts like $anonfun$3$$anonfun$3$$anonfun$adapted$1
• another name mangling for @inline def strictOptimizedFlatMap in file StrictOptimizedIterableOps.scala:117 renamed to flatMap
This is where stacktraces comes in. Let's try wrap our example inside this try catch:
try
// code that throws an exception
...
catch
case e: Exception =>
val prettyStackTrace = stacktraces.convertToPrettyStackTrace(e)
PrettyExceptionPrinter.printStacktrace(prettyStackTrace)
After executing it with sbt run we get following output:

Advantages of that solution:
• unmangles names to the ones from the source code
• instead of providing umeaningful name like $anonfun$1$$anonfun$1$$anonfun$1$$anonfun$1 tries provide some context information, e. g. type of that lambda
• tries to filter synthetic calls that are not crucial to follow the exection trace, e. g. $anonfun$3$$anonfun$3$$anonfun$adapted$1
• add ANSI coloring to the output, so it is readable for the end-user
How does it work?
This is example is just proof of concept, for now tool is working heuristically since a lot of semantic information is lost during compilation. The idea is simple, since the stacktrace already has well definded file/line data for source code, we try to find the corresponding TASTY file, then we traverse the file to find DefDef defined in that line.
Shortcomings of that solution
The general problem is for nested functions with mangled names. Let's look at the below example, which can be found at test directory.
private def executeTest(test: () => Unit) =
try
test()
catch
case e: Exception =>
val prettyStackTrace = stacktraces.convertToPrettyStackTrace(e)
PrettyExceptionPrinter.printStacktrace(prettyStackTrace)
@Test
def nestedLambdas = executeTest { () =>
val y = 1
val x = (0 to 10).flatMap {
n => List(n).map {
n => (if n > 5 then List(true) else List(false)).flatMap {
n => (if n then List("0") else List("5")).map {
n => n.toInt ! n.toInt ! n.toInt
}
}
}
}
val z = 1
}
If we take a look at the prettified stacktrace, we get:
the first lambda counting from the bottom of the stack trace is:
at lambda (Int) => IterableOnce[List[Int]] of x in src/test/scala/com/virtuslab/stacktraces/BasicTest.scala:42
which should actually be
at lambda () => Unit of executeTest in src/test/scala/com/virtuslab/stacktraces/BasicTest.scala:37
The problem is, the original stack trace for that is:
...
org.virtuslab.stacktraces.BasicTest.$anonfun$6(BasicTest.scala:47)
org.virtuslab.stacktraces.BasicTest.$anonfun$adapted$1(BasicTest.scala:48) // <-- pointing at closing bracket of flatMap
scala.collection.StrictOptimizedIterableOps.flatMap(StrictOptimizedIterableOps.scala:117)
scala.collection.StrictOptimizedIterableOps.flatMap$(StrictOptimizedIterableOps.scala:104)
scala.collection.immutable.Range.flatMap(Range.scala:59)
org.virtuslab.stacktraces.BasicTest.nestedLambdas$$anonfun$1(BasicTest.scala:48) // <-- also pointing at closing bracket of flatMap
org.virtuslab.stacktraces.BasicTest.executeTest(BasicTest.scala:30)
org.virtuslab.stacktraces.BasicTest.nestedLambdas(BasicTest.scala:50)
...
We could try to use the name nestedLambdas$$anonfun$1 for further disambiguation, but it's not general rule that lamba will have prefix of its wrapping function, eventually we always can end up with some hard to disambiguate problem.
Further development
We should consider generating some metadata for debugging purposes.

India, Malaysia stocks lead price valuations in Asia; S.Korea, China lag
March 12 (Reuters) - Shares in India and Malaysia were the most expensive in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, Refinitiv data showed. A sharp rally this year has lifted Asian stocks’ valuations, with the MSCI Asia-Pacific index’s forward 12-month P/E touching a four-month high of 12.24 at the end of last month. While some optimism over trade talks between the United States and China helped sentiment, the higher price valuations (in terms of earnings multiples) were also due to a cut in forecasted earnings by analysts for the next 12 months. Analysts have cut the MSCI Asia-Pacific companies’ 2019 earnings by 2.5 percent over the past two months due to worries over slowing global economic growth, Refinitiv data showed. On the other hand, South Korea lagged the region with a forward 12-month P/E of 10.49, followed by China with a ratio of 11.5. Reporting by Patturaja Murugbaoopathy and Gaurav Dogra in

They came on the foe like two rocks falling from the brows of Ardven. Their swords were stained with the blood of the valiant: warriours fainted at their names. Who was a match for Oscur, but Dermid? and who for Dermid, but Oscur?

Walnut Grove Buddhist Church
Walnut Grove Buddhist Church is a Buddhist temple in the historic Japanese-American farming community of Walnut Grove, California, outside of Sacramento, CA. It is an affiliate of the Buddhist Churches of America.
Pre-establishment
Walnut Grove, known to Issei Japanese as "Kawashimo," was settled by Japanese immigrants in the early 20th century. By the end of World War I, many families were established. The growth of successive generations prompted the need for religious service within the community.
Around 1923, Dharma talks (法話会 hōwakai) became a regular practice that were held within Japanese homes. Ministers from the Buddhist Church of Sacramento traveled 25 miles to conduct these services. On other occasions, such as funerals, the community would travel to Sacramento.
In 1924, a Buddhist Sunday School was formed by Tome Yoshida with about fifteen students. The tables and benches used can still be found in her house today.
Establishment
The church was established in 1926 and the church building completed a year later in 1927. It was recognized as a branch of the Buddhist Church of Sacramento. On February 1, 1931, it broke off from the larger church and became independent with 130 members.
On January 29, 1935, the temple hosted visiting Renshi Shojo Ohtani, who led the confirmation of nearly 100 members.
On the same year of the temple's establishment, a medical health club (白菊会, shiragikukai) was started by a group of ten teenage girls. In June 1930, a group of younger children assisted in the establishment of the Young Girls Buddhist Association (YGBA, 少女会, shōjokai), serving as the equivalent of the local Young Men’s Buddhist Association (YMBA) that was established two years earlier. The Buddhist Women's Association (婦人会, funjinkai) was officially organized on January 8, 1932.In May 1938, the YMBA and YWBA merged to form the Young Buddhist Association (YBA).
World War II and aftermath
The evacuation of Japanese Americans during World War II led to the temple's closure. Japanese from the area were sent to Merced and Turlock Assembly Centers and then to the Amache, Colorado and Gila, Arizona Relocation Centers.
Immediately after the war on July 27, 1945, Shigeo Kato and his family returned to Walnut Grove; who with Tomio Matsuoka, Rev. Takeo Agatsuma (Methodist Church minister), and Ralph Sugimoto; prepared to receive other Japanese. The church building functioned as a hostel at this time.
Returnees from the Isleton area found their temple looted and damaged. The building was sold and finds donated to the Walnut Grove Buddhist Temples and New York Buddhist Academy. Isleton residents ultimately became part of the congregation at Walnut Grove.
On December 16, 1945, the reverend Takuyu Shirakawa returned and the church sponsored a combined Memorial Service and Hōonkō (報恩講) for members who had passed away during the war. The Buddhist Women's Association and the YBA were also reactivated at this time.
Reverend Shirakawa's successor, Reverend Seikaku Mizutani was the longest serving Rinban of the church, serving 22 years from 1950 to 1972. By the 1970s, Walnut Grove as a community faced decline as many of the original congregants' children moved to Sacramento and beyond, seeking non-agricultural jobs.
Through the 80s and 90s, church membership continued to fall as many of the older generation passed away, although many children and grandchildren of the original members still consider the church as their ancestral home, and return to support the annual summer Bazaar and Obon, providing much needed income to the church coffers.

‘Hey, Tex’
Metropolitan Diary Dear Diary: A friend of mine moved to New York City from Texas. Fortunately, he found a studio apartment in his price range. Unfortunately, he has a Volkswagen convertible and could not haul any furniture along with him. Fortunately, he knew me, and I had a harebrained idea to build a loft bed with a desk beneath it. Unfortunately, my carpentry skills did not involve a level or a straight edge. I did, however, know how to get to Midtown Lumber. The employees there were helpful and knowledgeable, and they sketched out a plan for building such a structure. After we paid the bill, they helped me load the hardware and lumber into my friend’s car. In the back seat, eight-foot-long two-by-fours leaned up toward the heavens. Turning onto my friend’s block, I found a parking space less than 10 feet from his front stoop. Lounging on the sidewalk was one of Manhattan’s unpaid dispensers of wisdom. After I had parked and started to unload, the fellow looked at the lumber. Then he looked at the license plate on the car. “Hey, Tex,” he said. “What are y’all doing — building a corral?”

Nuro and Kroger are deploying self-driving cars for grocery delivery in Arizona today – TechCrunch
Self-driving car startup Nuro is ready to put autonomous vehicles on the road in partnership with Kroger to deliver groceries in Scottsdale, Arizona. This comes a couple of months after Nuro and Kroger announced their partnership to offer same-day deliveries. This pilot will serve a single Fry’s Food and Drug location in Scottsdale starting today. Customers can shop for groceries and place either same- or next-day delivery orders via the grocer’s website or mobile app. There’s no minimum order but there is a flat delivery fee of $5.95. “We’re proud to contribute and turn our vision for local commerce into a real, accessible service that residents of Scottsdale can use immediately,” Nuro CEO Dave Ferguson said in a statement. “Our goal is to save people time, while operating safely and learning how we can further improve the experience.” Nuro’s intent is to use its self-driving technology in the last mile for the delivery of local goods and services. That could be things like groceries, dry cleaning, an item you left at a friend’s house or really anything within city limits that can fit inside one of Nuro’s vehicles. Nuro has two compartments that can fit up to six grocery bags each. In Scottsdale, however, Nuro will initially use Toyota Prius cars before introducing its custom self-driving vehicles. That’s because the main purpose of this pilot is to learn, and using the Prius self-driving fleet can help to accelerate those learnings, a Nuro spokesperson told TechCrunch. “The Priuses share many software and hardware systems with the R1 custom vehicle, so while we compete final certification and testing of the R1, the Prius will begin delivering groceries and help us improve the overall service and customer experience,” the spokesperson said. When it came to going to market, Ferguson previously told me groceries were most exciting to him. And Kroger particularly stood out because of its smart shelf technology and partnership with Ocado around automated fulfillment centers. “With the pilot, we’re excited about getting more experience interacting with real customers and understanding exactly what they want,” Ferguson told me. “The things they love about it, the things they don’t love as much. As an organization for us, it’s also very valuable for us to have to exercise our operational muscle.” Throughout the pilot program, Nuro will be looking to see how accurate its estimated delivery times are, how the public reacts to the vehicles and how regular, basic cars interact with self-driving ones.

European markets close higher on positive data; BPM bank up by 7.2%
European markets closed higher on Tuesday following good economic data from China and Europe. The pan-European Stoxx 600 ended up 0.7 percent with most sectors and bourses trading in positive territory. The U.K.'s FTSE100 touched a record high in early afternoon trade, however, it retreated slightly to close up 0.49 percent on Tuesday. The French CAC ended 0.35 percent higher while the German DAX finished 0.12 percent in negative territory. Investors began 2017 in a confident mood after solid manufacturing activity data in Europe and China. On Tuesday morning, data showed French inflation reaching its highest level since May 2014. French consumer prices increased 0.8 percent year-on-year, driven essentially by an increase in energy prices. Meanwhile in the U.S., Wall Street continued higher on its first trading day of the calendar year with the Dow Jones industrial average getting ever closer to the 20,000 mark. Back in Europe, financial services were up by more than 1.5 percent. Earlier, Euronext said it was offering 510 million euros to buy the French clearing houses of the London Stock Exchange - a much-needed process to ensure the LSE merger with the German bourse. Basic resources stocks were also higher after figures showed Chinese factory activity growing more than expected in December. The U.K.'s ambassador to the European Union suddenly quit on Tuesday afternoon with Sir Ivan Rogers abrupt resignation catching many off guard. The departure of Rogers comes just a few weeks after he had declared that securing a post-Brexit trade deal with the bloc could take up to ten years. "Sir Ivan Rogers has resigned a few months early as UK Permanent Representative to the European Union. Sir Ivan has taken this decision now to enable a successor to be appointed before the UK invokes Article 50 by the end of March. We are grateful for his work and commitment over the last three years," said a U.K. government spokesperson shortly after the news was announced. Data showed British manufacturing figures growing more-than-expected in December. The U.K.'s PMI increased to 56.1 - the highest reading since June 2014. As a result, sterling moved up from 85.01 pence to 84.875 per euro. Inflation levels in Germany climbed to its highest level in over three and a half years on Tuesday with the annual rate rising to 1.7 percent, compared with 0.7 percent the month previous. Oil prices pared gains on Tuesday having hit 18-month highs on the first trading day of 2017 suggesting that investors are relatively positive on the implementation of an OPEC deal to cut production. Crude prices were further boosted by the U.S. dollar rallying to its highest level since 2002. However prices ran out of steam shortly after the European close and Brent crude traded at around $55.80 a barrel on Tuesday, down 1.8 percent. While U.S. WTI was around $52.65 a barrel, down 1.9 percent. Follow CNBC International on and Facebook.

Susan Billy
Susan Billy (born April 27, 1951) is a Native American Pomo basket weaver from the Hopland Band Pomo Indians of Northern California.
Life
Billy was born in Hot Springs, South Dakota in 1951. She owns and operates Bead Fever, a bead store in Ukiah, CA. She is the granddaughter of Pomo basket weaver Susan Santiago Billy. She grew up outside of Washington D.C. in Virginia, where her father worked for the Veterans Administration. In 1973, Billy moved to California and soon after located to Ukiah, California, where she studied Pomo basket weaving under her great aunt Elsie Allen for 15 years. In that time, Billy became familiar with the dozen shapes and almost 300 patterns traditionally used in Pomo basketry.
Allen had hoped to pass on her basket-weaving knowledge but had thought no young people were interested until Billy arrived. She had grown up with several baskets by her grandmother Susan Santiago Billy which occupied a place of reverence during her childhood but she never thought at the time she would be a weaver. By the time she showed interest in basket weaving, her grandmother had died. Billy received her grandmother's basket-making tools from Allen.
In 1990 Billy began her research for a 1994 exhibition, “Remember your Relations: The Elsie Allen Baskets and Family” which showed at the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah, California, and at the Oakland Museum of California, where she was a guest curator for the show and a coauthor of the book by the same name. Billy has curated collections at a number of museums, including the American Museum of Natural History, the Brooklyn Museum, the De Young Museum, the Mendocino County Museum, the National Museum of the American Indian, and the National Museum of Natural History.

KDE rather slow to start PulseAudio culprit
Hi all.
On many distributions delivering KDE, since version 4.2, I have often found incomprehensibles slowness between login step and the time the desktop is fully loaded and usable.
Indeed, we can see unfold normally the KDE's "splashscreen" and the desktop appears but in the systray, all the icons are not loaded and it is not possible to run a program until the startup sound is heard. This is long seconds (10 or 15 for me) where nothing happens (no visible disk access).
After answering on this thread, I opened a bug in KDE and it appears that the culprit is PulseAudio.
Indeed, it seems that PulseAudio package for KDE brings 2 startup files instead of one: "pulseaudio.desktop" and "pulseaudio-kde.desktop"
This often generates a delay to load the desktop caused by the program that is trying to start twice.
Note that this is not systematic, I guess in some cases, the correct file is launched before the bad and in this case, there isn't any delays.
The solution: Just simply delete the unwanted file to retreive a fast loading time. This is valid for all distributions.
- Open a console as root
- Go to the directory /etc/xdg/autostart
- Check that you have two files "pulseaudio.desktop" and "pulseaudio-kde.desktop" in this directory.
- Delete the file "pulseaudio.desktop" (or rename it to "pulseaudio.desktop.disable" if you prefer to keep it)
- Reboot normally there shouldn't be more delay now caused by PulseAudio to logon
Hopefully this will eventually be corrected in the future because this unfortunately reinforces the "Kde cons" peoples while it is not related to KDE itself ;-)

1. Thanks a lot ! This would have turned me crazy if I hadn't stumbled upon your blog !
Strangely, it didn't occur under Kubuntu but did under Arch (using Manjaro ATM).
I see there are relevant bug reports, I hope it'll be fixed upstream :-)

Zen Coding Auto-Generates HTML from CSS

Writing HTML can be something of a pain. Angle brackets and long tags names mean you’ll spend more time typing awkward code than your average programming task requires.
Good text editors and development environments like BBEdit, Eclipse or Adobe Dreamweaver can help simplify your HTML workload, but what we’ve always longed for is a Markdown-like way to create raw HTML.
Smashing Magazine’s Sergey Chikuyonok recently unveiled a programming tool called Zen Coding that isn’t quite Markdown-level bliss, but it’s pretty close. Chikuyonok created Zen Coding from a very basic idea: what if CSS selectors could not just target HTML tags, but also generate them?
In other words, if you’re using Chikuyonok’s tools, writing CSS like this:
div#content>h1+p
will generate HTML markup like this:
<div id="content">
<h1></h1>
<p></p>
</div>
Veteran coders will likely protest that there are already tools like SparkUp and Haml which do very similar things (though with a slightly different syntax). However, Zen Coding offers some nice plugins for popular text editors that SparkUp lacks, and Zen Coding isn’t language-specific like Haml (which is primarily of use to Ruby on Rails developers).
Under the hood, Zen Coding accomplishes two things. First, it expands abbreviations written the form of CSS selectors, and second, it’s able to match tag pairs so it correctly closes your tags.
Consider this somewhat more sophisticated bit of code:
html:xt>div#header>h1#logo+ul#nav>li.item-$*5>a
A mere single line of code. When run through Zen Coding’s expander and tag matching tools, it becomes a basic HTML page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<h1 id="logo"></h1>
<ul id="nav">
<li class="item-1"><a href=""></a></li>
<li class="item-2"><a href=""></a></li>
<li class="item-3"><a href=""></a></li>
<li class="item-4"><a href=""></a></li>
<li class="item-5"><a href=""></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The syntax is a little more complex than simple CSS selectors. For instance, the item-$*5 bit in the example above is used to generate five <li> tags, but it won’t take long to commit the few quirks to memory.
The easiest way to wrap your head around the power of Zen Coding is to watch the demo movie that Chikuyonok put together.
A new way of writing HTML code using CSS-like selector syntax
Our only real gripes with Zen Coding are that it lacks HTML5 support and insists on XHTML syntax. However, since HTML5 isn’t a standard recommendation and there are only a handful of tags where the difference between XHTML and HTML is important, we’re willing to overlook those deficiencies.
If you’d like to give Zen coding a try, there’s a sample online editor available, just use ctrl+, to expand your selectors. If you like Zen Coding’s approach, there are a few plugins available for text editors. Head over toSmashing Magazine and grab a plugin for Aptana (cross-platform), Coda (Mac), Espresso (Mac) or Emacs (cross-platform). The abbreviation expanding tools also work in plugins for TextMate, TopStyle, Sublime, GEdit and the editArea online editor.

Sharks blow 3-0 lead, recover to beat Oilers
Joakim Ryan scored his first NHL goal to open the scoring and then netted the winner with 2:27 remaining on the clock as the San Jose Sharks rebounded from blowing a 3-0 lead to beat the Edmonton Oilers 6-4 Saturday night at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif.
Ryan, San Jose’s seventh-round draft pick in 2012, broke the goose egg in grand style in his 46th career game to the delight of the home crowd.
After Ryan tallied with the game’s first shot -- the 10th time this season Oilers goaltenders have allowed a goal on the first puck they’ve faced -- Joe Pavelski doubled the lead on a lucky bounce when a clearing attempt went off an official’s skate and to him at the side of the net.
Barclay Goodrow made it 3-0 early in the second period, and it appeared the Sharks could coast to the finish. Taking their foot off the gas almost proved costly.
Zack Kassian twice beat Sharks goalie Aaron Dell on a pair of breakaways and Leon Draisaitl added a goal within a 10-minute span to make it 3-3 before the second period was finished.
The craziness wasn’t over, either. Brandon Davidson put the Oilers ahead early in the third period, but San Jose’s Tomas Hertl drew the hosts even a couple of minutes later.
The Oilers even wasted a couple of power-play opportunities late in the third period before Ryan’s winner. Pavelski added an empty-netter in a four-point game. He’s collected four goals and six points in two games.
Dell stopped 27 shots for the Sharks, who snapped a two-game losing skid but have a new injury to deal with as Joel Ward missed the game due to a shoulder problem. In his place was Jannik Hansen, who’s suited up in only four of the last 20 games, and he responded with an assist.
On a night captain Connor McDavid was held without a point, Al Montoya made 24 saves for the Oilers, who are riding a three-game losing skid.

Ah (song)
"Ah" is a song by Japanese J-pop and rock band Superfly. "Ah" was initially released as the final track on their third studio album Mind Travel. On June 14, 2011, before the release of the album, Superfly released a statement that "Ah" would be released as the album's 4th single and as the band's 13th single overall. This version, titled in Japanese as "あぁ" (Aa), would feature lyrics, instead of the album version's a cappella chanting, and would be sold as a one-track single. The label wanted to release the version with lyrics as part of Mind Travel, but Shiho Ochi decided that the version without lyrics would be on the album but they would release the lyric version at a later date. Regarding the song, Ochi stated that the album version of the song is meant to show that one does not need words to convey emotions to others. In addition, a short film consisting of a total solar eclipse that uses "Ah" as its soundtrack will be shown at the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2011 on June 16, 2011. The "Aa" version peaked at number 9 on the Oricon Weekly Charts.

Women used to have few rights. All the important decisions in their lives were made by men. They could not vote and give their opinion on who should run the country. By the middle of the 19th century, more and more women were starting to ask why not? These are the stories of five trailblazers who achieved amazing things in difficult circumstances: Elizabeth Cady Stanton began campaigning for women’s rights when she was refused entry to a convention because she was a woman. Susan B. Anthony cast her vote knowing she’d be arrested. Clementina Black organized a strike at a factory that paid women low wages. Carrie Chapman Catt traveled the world promoting the need for women’s suffrage. Emmeline Pankhurst led a march along Downing Street in London, petitioning the vote for women. Many of the rights women have today are thanks to their actions. They helped change society's image of women forever.

Surfers Paradise Hotel
The Surfers Paradise Hotel was the historic hotel that led to the development of Surfers Paradise in Queensland.
History
During the 1920s, The Australian hotelier Jim Cavill (born James Freeman Cavill ) purchased 10 acres of land in Elston (now Surfers Paradise). The land has previously been developed by previous owners but 1925 marked the openings of the Jubilee Bridge and the South Coast Road, opening up the area to a new flow of driving tourists. That year (or in 1928 ), Jim Cavill opened the Surfers Paradise Hotel, a 16-bedroom hotel located on the intersection of the South Coast Road and the old coach track. Two other hotels opened at the same time. The flow of tourism gave a new economic beat to the area and Elston quickly became a fully-fledged city.
Jim Cavill founded the Surfers Paradise Life Saving Club and the Surfers Paradise Progress Association in 1929.
In December 1933, Jim Cavill lobbied with locals to rename the city Elston to Surfers Paradise. In July 1936, the timber-built hotel burned down and was entirely rebuilt in bricks the following year, reopening in September 1937 with telephones in every room. The street where the hotel stands was renamed Cavill Avenue in 1945.
On the location of the hotel now stands the Surfers Paradise Centre (Surfers Paradise Beer Garden and Hard Rock Cafe).

Philippines to sanction firms involved in deadly fire if safety skirted
* Workers group says govt, firms not committed to safety * Fire at mall killed 37 call centre workers * Outsourcing sector a major employer, worth $23 bln annually By Enrico Dela Cruz MANILA, Dec 26 (Reuters) - The Philippines said on Tuesday it would investigate whether safety regulations were ignored at an office where a fire killed 37 call centre employees and vowed to impose sanctions if firms had not met standards. The remains of 37 employees of the U.S.-based Research Now SSI killed by Saturday’s fire in Davao City have been recovered and a criminal investigation will be launched by the Justice Department. Labour Secretary Silvestre Bello said he had instructed the government’s workplace health and safety agency and the Labour Ministry’s regional office in Davao, President Rodrigo Duterte’s hometown, to investigate if there were lapses in safety standards. The fire broke out at a furniture store on the third level of the 14-year-old New City Commercial Center and quickly engulfed an outsourcing business on the upper floor, based on an initial report from the city government. “We will immediately look into possible violations of some safety and health standards,” Bello told Reuters. “We may not issue any clearance to operate,” he said when asked to clarify sanctions that could be imposed on the mall or call centre management if culpable. The fire is a setback for the Philippines’ $23 billion business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, which is an economic lifeline in the country of more than 100 million. The sector employs about 1.15 million people, with jobs forecast to grow to 1.8 million by 2025. Along with remittances from overseas workers, BPO revenues are a major earner of foreign exchange for the country, driving what is one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies. The BPO Industry Employees Network (BIEN) has expressed concern about postings on social media that said the building was made of sub-standard materials, had locked its fire exits, and had not held fire drills. It was not possible to immediately check the accuracy of the postings. BIEN said the government should look into every BPO firm’s compliance with occupational health and safety standards. “Justice must be served to the victims and those accountable must be penalized so as to avoid future workplace deaths,” BIEN said in a statement. On Monday night, Duterte told relatives of victims that the National Bureau of Investigation, police and fire protection bureau would get to the bottom of the disaster. “The truth will come out,” he said. Research Now SSI has confirmed 37 of its 500 employees in its Davao call centre were “lost” in the fire. It did not immediately respond to a Reuters query on Tuesday about safety protocols at its Davao office. The company has offices in Texas, California, New York and Toronto and more than 3,500 market research, consulting, media, healthcare and corporate clients. In a Sunday statement, it said it was helping to support funeral arrangements and would create a fund for contributions to help victims’ families. The Call Centre Association of the Philippines (CCAP) said it was waiting for a full report from Research Now SSI, but saw no problem with its members meeting workplace safety standards. “We always comply with government safety regulations because our priority is the welfare of all our employees,” CCAP President Jojo Uligan told Reuters. But the Associated Labour Unions-Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (ALU-TUCP) said safety standards were not being adhered to and the labour department and companies were not living up to their responsibilities to enforce and comply. “This deaths-causing fire could have been minimized to the barest damage to property,” ALU-TUCP spokesman Alan Tanjusay said.

Software implementation of the OpenAL API (development files)
OpenAL, the Open Audio Library, is a joint effort to create an open, vendor-neutral, cross-platform API for interactive, primarily spatialized audio. OpenAL's primary audience are application developers and desktop users that rely on portable standards like OpenGL, for games and other multimedia applications.
This library is meant as a compatible update/replacement to the OpenAL Sample Implementation (the SI). The SI has been unmaintained for quite a while, and would require a lot of work to clean up. This is a fork the old Windows version to attempt an accelerated ALSA version of an OpenAL implementation.
OpenAL Soft supports mono, stereo, 4-channel, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 output, as opposed to the SI's 4-channel max (though it did have some provisions for 6 channel, this was not 5.1, and was seemingly a "late" addition). OpenAL Soft does not support the Vorbis and MP3 extensions, however those were considered deprecated even in the SI. It does, though, support some of the newer extensions like AL_EXT_FLOAT32 and AL_EXT_MCFORMATS for multi-channel and floating-point formats, as well as ALC_EXT_EFX for environmental audio effects, and others.
This package contains the files necessary for development.

Belgium defines video game loot boxes as illegal gambling
The Belgian Gaming Commission has ruled after a preliminary investigation that loot boxes in several games — Overwatch, FIFA 18, and Counter Strike: Global Offensive — are considered games of chance that are subject to Belgian gaming law, via Ars Technica. According to a statement from Belgian Minister of Justice Koen Geens, the games currently constitute criminal violations of Belgium’s gaming legislation, and developers could be subject to prison sentences of up to five years and fines of up to 800,000 euros if the loot boxes aren’t removed. Per Justice Geens’ statement, the commission used four parameters to determine whether or not loot boxes in a game were considered a game of chance: if there was a game element that allowed bets to be placed, with a possible profit or loss, where chance played a roll in the result. Belgium has been one of the earliest countries to investigate loot boxes, following the release and subsequent outcry of how EA had implemented the random reward system in Star Wars Battlefront II. While the commission did investigate that game alongside the others mentioned above, it found that with EA’s recent changes to how the loot system works, it doesn’t fall under the “games of chance” classification anymore. Justice Geens also highlighted the fact that these games are played by minors as extra concerning, noting that it could result in the penalties getting doubled. The commission will apparently be reaching out to developers of the games to see “who should take responsibility where.” The news comes just days after the Netherlands issued a similar ruling, declaring four games as games of chance and giving developers until June 20th to change or remove the loot boxes.

• To ReAlloc or not to ReAlloc..
I want to clear a memory block quickly. Does anyone know if using
LocalFree/LocalAlloc is safer (or unsafer), than LocalReAlloc?
(Local- of GlobalAlloc seems to be the same thing, or?)
I've heard some rumours about "issues" with ReAlloc, like that it
sometimes fails to reallocate to larger memory blocks, etc, but I
can't find anything about it at MSDN, or elsewhere, so I thought
I'd ask around to see if anyone knows anything about this.
I have tried both and both seems to work fine. It's only that I
have this nagging feeling that LocalFree/LocalAlloc is safer..
------------------
• #2
By "clear" do you mean de-allocate? Or do you mean reset the contents of the block to binary zeroes?
If the latter, you can use POKE$ or RESET (DIM an array "AT thelocation").

Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear there.
Yes, I mean clear, empty from previous contents and in some cases
also resize at the same time.
To use POKE$, I need to create a string with same size. Will double
the memory needs there for a while, which is not very good, since
we can be talking about multi-MB memory blocks here.
REDIM AT is out of the question. The memory block is the base for
an editor control and works just like a normal String, or should
I say, as base for an array of dynamic strings (lines in editor).
The editor control has to be independent of Globals, so I use this
approach and store the handle in a TYPE declared variable, with a
pointer to that one stored in the extra bytes for the control window.
Anyway, I have most of it working and it's just about as fast as
using ordinary Global arrays or a String variable. You'll see what
I mean, once I have it all ready..
LocalFree/LocalAlloc works fine, as do LocalReAlloc. Like I said,
it's just that nagging feeling about LocalReAlloc..

Borje,
It is my understanding that in Win32 there is no difference between Global/Local.
These are the old 16bit mem alloc routines that I believe call HeapAlloc.
You may want to check out the heap functions. Why add another level of function
calling to your program.
Also Semen posted some code for mem allocation using ole.
James

Well, to re-size, I think you'll need to use the various xxxAlloc API calls.
As far as resetting the memory to zero, if you can get a pointer to it you can always loop thru a DWORD at a time...
Code:
DIM foo AS DWORD PTR
TheLoc = VARPTR(start of block)
TheSize = (Length of block \ 4 )
Trips = 0
foo = TheLoc
DO
@foo = 0
incr foo
incr trips
LOOP UNTIL trips > TheSize

Actually, you were right about POKE$, Michael. Thanks for the tip.
Don't have to create a string to use it. POKE$ ptr, STRING$(Length, 0)
works fine for zero fill. Good replacement for FillMemory and
ZeroMemory API, since those are not included in winapi.inc.
I'm trying to avoid as many loops as I can, for better speed.
As for HeapAlloc - not the same as Local/GlobalAlloc. Memory
will not be moveable, so the heap may end up becoming fragmented.
Think LocalAlloc is best for this purpose.
------------------
Comment
• #7
Hi Borje
that's incorrect - in Win32 both Local and Global Alloc are mapped
to the Heap calls.
Cheers
Florent
------------------
Comment
• #8
Interesting. So HeapAlloc should be faster then? Win32api.hlp
says nothing about this, but it do say that "allocated memory
is not movable", plus "Since the memory is not movable, it is
possible for the heap to become fragmented."
Not sure if that is bad or not. Maybe best to stick to LocalAlloc
anyway..

Hi Borje
when you call Global/Local alloc the memory is allocated from the
process' default heap. As such you're more likely to see
fragmentation using the default heap (since there are many
different variables of varying length that need to be allocated
and de-allocated) than if you create a separate heap using the Heap
functions.
Memory fragmentation is always an issue and you can't use Global
/LocalCompact to compact memory since these functions are not
supported in Win32.
A reasonable strategy is to allocate various heaps each managing
objects of the same size even if it means wasting memory since
fragmentation is kept at a low level.
Cheers
Florent

Borje,
To fill / clear an allocated memory block, the algo below should be fast
enough, it clocked at about 190 meg / sec on my PIII. This is in
MASM format but the conversion to PB inline code is easy enough,
just change the MASM anonymous label [ @@: ] to a named label and
change @B to the name of the label to jump to.
Regards,
[email protected]
Code:
; #########################################################################
memfill proc lpmem :DWORD,ln :DWORD,fill :DWORD
mov ecx, ln ; byte length
mov eax, fill ; fill chars
mov edx, lpmem ; buffer address
add ecx, edx ; offset for exit condition
@@:
mov [edx], eax ; put fill chars at address in edx
add edx, 4 ; increment edx by 4 (DWORD)
cmp edx, ecx ; compare to counter
jbe @B ; jump if below or equal
ret
memfill endp

Thanks fellows. Nice piece of code there, Steve. Will come in handy,
because I have discovered that even using POKE$ with STRING$() will
use up double memory for a short while, since it obviously must need
its own memory to store what it returns. Better and leaner to do it
directly to existing memory block.
Wow, seems I have to read up on memory handling in 32-bit Windows.
Right now, I feel just like my old math teacher used to say, "this
may seem easy enough, but just wait until I have explained it"..

The production of charged hadrons and K_s mesons in the collisions of quasi-real photons has been measured using the OPAL detector at LEP. The data were taken at e+e- centre-of-mass energies of 161 and 172 GeV. The differential cross-sections as a function of the transverse momentum and the pseudorapidity of the charged hadrons and K_s mesons have been compared to the leading order Monte Carlo simulations of PHOJET and PYTHIA and to perturbative next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculations. The distributions have been measured in the range 10-125 GeV of the hadronic invariant mass W. By comparing the transverse momentum distribution of charged hadrons measured in gamma-gamma interactions with gamma-proton and meson-proton data we find evidence for hard photon interactions in addition to the purely hadronic photon interactions.

Di-jet production is studied in collisions of quasi-real photons radiated by the LEP beams at e+e- centre-of-mass energies 161 and 172 GeV. The jets are reconstructed using a cone jet finding algorithm. The angular distributions of direct and double-resolved processes are measured and compared to the predictions of leading order and next-to-leading order perturbative QCD. The jet energy profiles are also studied. The inclusive two-jet cross-section is measured as a function of transverse energy and rapidity and compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations. The inclusive two-jet cross-section as a function of rapidity is compared to the prediction of the leading order Monte Carlo generators PYTHIA and PHOJET. The Monte Carlo predictions are calculated with different parametrisations of the parton distributions of the photon. The influence of the `underlying event' has been studied to reduce the model dependence of the predicted jet cross-sections from the Monte Carlo generators.

Inclusive production of D*+- mesons in photon-photon collisions at S**(1/2)(ee) = 183-GeV and 189-GeV and a first measurement of F**gamma(2,c)
The OPAL collaboration Abbiendi, G. ; Ackerstaff, K. ; Akesson, P.F. ; et al.
Eur.Phys.J. C16 (2000) 579-596, 2000.
Inspire Record 510531 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.35045
The inclusive production of D*+- mesons in photon-photon collisions has been measured using the OPAL detector at LEP at e+e- centre-of-mass energies of 183 and 189GeV. The D* mesons are reconstructed in their decay to D0pi+ with the D0 observed in the two decay modes Kpi+ and Kpi+pi-pi+. After background subtraction, 100.4+-12.6(stat) D*+- mesons have been selected in events without observed scattered beam electron ("anti-tagged") and 29.8+-5.9 (stat) D*+- mesons in events where one beam electron is scattered into the detector ("single-tagged"). Direct and single-resolved events are studied separately. Differential cross-sections as functions of the D* transverse momentum p_t and pseudorapidity \eta are presented in the kinematic region 2<p_t<12GeV and \eta<1.5. They are compared to next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD calculations. The total cross-section for the process (e+e- to e+e-ccbar), where the charm quarks are produced in the collision of two quasi-real photons, is measured to be 842+-97(stat)+-75(syst)+-196(extrapolation)pb. A first measurement of the charm structure function F2 of the photon is performed in the kinematic range 0.0014<x<0.87 and 5<Q^2<100 GeV^2, and the result is compared to a NLO perturbative QCD calculation.

Congenital Heart Disease Flashcards Preview
Cardio Block > Congenital Heart Disease > Flashcards
Flashcards in Congenital Heart Disease Deck (44):
1
The majority of heart disease in children is
Congenital (5 to 8 of every 1000 live births)
2
The three causes of congenital heart disease
Genetic, Environmental, multifactorial (combo of genetic and environmental)
Multifactorial makes up the majority
3
What does congenital mean
A disease that exists at birth or develops during the first month of life.
4
Syndromes with Congenital Heart Disease
Down, Turner, Marfan, Noonan, 18, 13,
5
Infections that can lead to congenital heart disease
Rubella
6
Diseases that lead to congenital heart disease
PKU
7
Drugs that lead to CHD
Thalidomide, Accutane, Trimethadione
8
Toxins that lead to CHD
ALcohol and cocaine
9
One mechanism that can lead to CHD is altered flow patterns during cardiac development
true
10
Decreased right heart flow during cardiac development leads to
Tricuspid Atresia (TAT), Pulmonary Stenosis Valvular (PSV), Atrial septal defect (ASD)
11
Decreased Left Heart Flow
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), Coarctation of the Aorta, Mitral Atresia (MAT)
12
At birth, systemic resistance does what?
Increases
13
At birth, pulmonary resistance does what?
decreases (lungs expand)
14
At 24 hours, pulmonary resistance is (blank) of systemic resistance
one half
15
Most common CHD
Ventricular septal defect...by a long shot.
Then atrial septal defect, pulmonary stenosis
16
The various CHD abnormalities can be grouped into three categories. They are
abnormalities causing a Left to right shunt, Right to left shunt, and obstruction
17
Dusky blueness of skin. What shunt is it?
Right to left shunt. blood avoids pulmonary circulation
18
Left to right shunt
Expose the low pressure, low reisistnace pulmonary vasculature to increased volume and increased pressure. Leads to increased pulmonary vascular resistance which leads to right heart hypertrophy and eventually failure. With time, this increased resistance can cause reversal of the shunt to right to left.
19
Atresia
Complete obstruction
20
Most common shunt
Left to right...ASDs, VSDs, PDA (patent ductus arteriosus)
21
What does the Foramen ovale do in fetal circulation
Allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the left. Bypasses the fetal lungs.
22
pulmonary hypertension associated with
Left to right shunt. This pulm HTN can lead to a reversal of shunting and thus cyanosis. Seen earlier and more frequently at this severity in VSDs than ASDs.
23
Whats the point of the ductus arteriosus during intrauterine life?
Its like a bridge between the pulmonary artery and the aorta. It permits blood flow from the pulm arteries to the aorta so that blood can bypass the unoxygenated lungs.
24
When is the ductus usually obliterated
First few months of life
25
PDA characteristics.
High pressure left to right shunts. Sounds like machinery in systole
26
Cyanotic CHD (right to left shunt) associated with what conditions
tetralogy of fallot and transposition of the great vessels
27
Physiologic murmurs
PPS, PFO
28
Physiologic murmurs in toddlers
Still's, venous hum, pulmonary flow, carotid bruit
29
Adult phyiologic murmurs
Mammary SOufle
30
Are Physiologic murmurs ver in diastole
NO....only systole
31
Are physiologic murmurs ever associated witha thrill
no
32
Physiologic murmurs localized to left sternal border
yes
33
AV valve murmur during systole
regurgitation...mi, tri, sys, regurg
34
AV valve during diastole
Stenosis
35
Semilunar valves during sys
stenosis
36
Semilunar during diastole
regurg
37
Murmurs of relative stenosis occur when?
When abnormally large amounts of blood flow pass across a structurally normal valve.
38
When is cyanosis typically observed
When the concentration of desaturated Hgb is above 4 gm/dl
39
Cardiac vs. non cardiac causes of cyanosis
Cardiac cause = perfusion of systemic circulation with desaturated blood.
40
Non-cardiac causes of cyanosis
Peripheral vasoconstriction, desaturation of pulmonary venous blood
Desaturation of pulmonary venous blood (hypoventilation, pneumonia, pneumothorax)
41
Hyperoxia test tells you what
Whether the Cyanosis is a problem of the heart or a problem of the lungs. Administer 100% FiO2 by hood or ETT. If PO2 is less than 100, the probability of congenital heart disease goes way up.
42
Cyanotic heart defects
Tunk, tran, tri, tet, tot
Trunkus arteriosus, transposition of the great arteries, Tricuspid atresisa,
Tetralogy of Follot
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return

Is an unrestrictive VSD in a newborn likely associated with a murmur
no
44
Unrestrictive VSD in a 2 month old likely associated with what?
Systolic murmur and diastolic rumble

Films / games of what would happen in a new Korean War?
Given that tensions have been heightening between the Koreas and the South's defenders in recent days, I am quite interested to find films about what would happen if a new Korean War were to erupt in contemporary times or the near-future.
Besides speculative-fiction films and TV episodes, are there documentaries detailing how such a "what-if" scenario would play out?
Moreover, what video games involve fighting a new war on the Korean peninsula in the contemporary period / near-future? Thanks. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:51, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* Talk about it when and if this "Korean War" breaks out. Is what I say. But since you asked I might as well answer. I haven't seen any documentaries about "what-if" scenarios and I couldn't find any. Though there are a few videos on YouTube, though they all just hogwash. If a war does break out (which I hope it will not) some companies may create games based on it but I doubt it because it would be rude and, could damage countries relationships, and well you don't see games about 9/11 do you now (Pardon me if there is)? RunningUranium 08:07, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* There is very little cultural penalty for the US being rude to North Korea; indeed, mocking its current and past "dear leaders" has become something of a national pastime. --Mr.98 (talk) 13:07, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* As for games, you might peruse Category:Video_games_set_in_Korea, which includes some in a modern idiom. Whether they are whatsoever accurate is highly unlikely. --Mr.98 (talk) 13:06, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Question regarding the administration of Ajmer Subah during the reign of Akbar?
Who was the Mughal Governor of Ajmer Subah during Akbar's reign? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sauravmitra (talk • contribs) 09:11, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* This is a bit roundabout, but according to Medieval India: From Sultanate To The Mughals: Part I: Delhi Sultanate by Satish Chandra, page 142, Akbar conquered Ajmer in 1556, but did not create the 12 subahs until 1580, when he appointed a sipahsalar (later called a subahdar) to head each. In 1586, he gave joint command of Ajmer Subah to two Rajput rajas. Using these search terms and these dates (sipahsalar/subahdar and 1580 and 1586), I'm finding this:
* Ajmer and the Mughal Emperors by Neha Vikas Prakashan: "However, we came to know that Abdur Rahim Khan Khana was appointed governor of Ajmer in the year 1580 A.D. Abul Fazl mentions that in year 1586 A.D., Jagannath was appointed Subahdar of Ajmer and with him Rai Durga Mujahid..."
* We have an article on Abdul Rahim Khan-I-Khana, but it does not mention being sabahdar of Ajmer. The names of the rajas are so common; I'm not finding Wikipedia articles on them. To confirm, you could look through the Abul Fazl work mentioned by Prakashan, Akbarnama. There are translations here and here. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:19, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Left wing Alternative parties Spain Portugal Italy Belgium Netherlands
Is there an alternative party in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium like Respect party in United Kingdom, Quebec solidaire in Quebec, Meretz in Israel and MRC (Citizen and Republican Movement) in France?--Donmust90 (talk) 16:33, 9 April 2013 (UTC)Donmust90
* Respect Party is but one of the Socialist alternative parties in the UK. There is also Socialist Workers Party and TUSC to name but two. Can you clarify whether you just mean "socialist alternative" party, which is where Respect places itself, or maybe "alternative" parties such as Monster Raving Loony Party or British National Party? --TammyMoet (talk) 19:33, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* No, only left wing parties, regardless left-wing liberal, social democrat or other left wing ideologies-based. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:18, 9 April 2013 (UTC)Donmust90
* I don't know your criteria. Countries tend to have lots of small parties, including several left-wing, which may be described as alternatives to the larger parties. You can start here:
* List of political parties in Spain
* List of political parties in Portugal
* List of political parties in Italy
* List of political parties in Belgium
* List of political parties in the Netherlands
* PrimeHunter (talk) 23:51, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Just for the record, Respect+QS+Meretz+MRC are quite diverse. --Soman (talk) 00:07, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
* Respect is a member of European Anti-Capitalist Left, so the other member parties have something in common with it (but Respect is quite unusual in many ways). As Soman says, the other parties you name are quite different again. Warofdreams talk 11:05, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
hitler vs stalin
while hitler is widely equated with evil, stalin holds a more positive cultural image. if asked "who is the most evil person on the last century". most people will say hitler, not stalin. why? --Yoglti (talk) 17:04, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* Probably because the Soviet Union was on the side of the Allies. Rojomoke (talk) 17:25, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* I would not say that Stalin "holds a more positive cultural image". They are both equally viewed in the culturally negative. However, because the Soviet Union was an ally of the US and Britain during WWII, the West was more willing to ignore (or at least not make a fuss about) Stalin's negatives... at least while the war lasted. Blueboar (talk) 17:26, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* In summer 1941, Churchill said something like "If Hitler invaded hell, I would find something nice to say about the devil". In United States public opinion, a slightly naive "Uncle Joe" / "Mission to Moscow" / Walter Duranty and/or Popular Front influenced period gave way to bitter disillusionment due to events beginning basically in 1947, with Stalin's failure to hold promised democratic elections in Poland, the Czech Coup of 1948, the Greek civil war, the Berlin blockade, the Soviet A-bomb, the Communist victory in the Chinese civil war, etc. The outbreak of the Korean war in 1950 set the final seal on bitter U.S.-Soviet hostility, and the drastic swing in U.S. public opinion resulted in the rise of McCarthyism... AnonMoos (talk) 17:47, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* This is my guess, but there's something so coldly calculated about the Holocaust that it shocks people more than numbers. No doubt the purges were calculated, and Stalin, and to a different degree communism, is responsible for as many if not more deaths, but the holocaust is of a different character. Also, there's been a concerted effort to educate about the holocaust. There's less awareness of the details of Stalin's crimes. Shadowjams (talk) 17:33, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* First, I would not overstate Stalin's popularity. He's considered better than Hitler, but pretty much everyone is considered better than Hitler. Hitler started one of the most awful wars in history and at the same time came up with uniquely sadistic ways to try and exterminate entire groups of people in the name of ideology. That's a hard act to follow.
* Stalin's crimes are by now very well known and accepted. 50 years ago it was a somewhat different situation and many people still gave him a lot of credit for fighting the Germans and for industrializing Russia. But today I think you'd find that most people know him by his gulag and his purges. Which people don't rate very highly.
* Is there a difference, we might ask, between the kind of system Hitler ran and the kind of system Stalin ran? We seem, implicitly, to regard genocide as a particularly ugly crime, much worse than Stalin's terrors which were fairly arbitrary in who they targeted. (Ostensibly they were targeting people with bad politics, but you didn't have to actually do anything to get thrown in the gulag.) I wonder if much of this is because of the type of propaganda (and I don't use this in a necessarily pejorative sense) that emerged at the time and in the wake of Hitler, which argued fairly explicitly that there was no baser thing than genocide and institutionalized racism. --Mr.98 (talk) 18:03, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* I think it's natural to believe (at least at first glance) that an incidental or heat-of-passion crime is less dire than a premeditated and cold-blooded one. That coupled with the necessity of the USSR to the Allied war plan means a brutal dictatorship which committed incidental mass murders of those who resisted (or whom it imagined resisted) its ideology and the programs accompanying it; is less reviled than a brutal dictatorship which committed mass murders on a premeditated basis of a predefined set of people who had the wrong blood. Also, I think most people, if they had to choose, would rather be shot than gassed. So while you can't at all justify or ignore Stalin's crimes, he's not the elephant in the room of human enormity (he's more hippopotamus-sized). ☯.Zen Swashbuckler .☠ 20:02, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* I also wonder if there's something to be said for charisma here. Stalin could not be accused of being a Great Communicator. Part of the chronic mass corruption of the Soviet system was due to the Russian (& Ukrainian, Belorussian, etc.) people not being communists. There are stories of Ukrainian peasants in the early days of the war enthusiastically surrendering to Wehrmacht troops on the theory that no government could possibly treat them worse than the USSR had (they were quickly disillusioned, of course). By great contrast, the Nazi Party was democratically elected to the Weimar parliament, and Hitler, a powerful public speaker, well and truly convinced ordinary people to believe in him and his agenda. Informing to the NKVD was an opportunity for payment and advancement; informing to the Gestapo was a patriotic duty and a matter of pride. I think it's that earnest elevation of such an inherently murderous belief system to the civic pantheon of "God and country" that is uniquely horrifying. Anyone can terrorize people by using guns; it takes something different (or at least we sure as hell hope it does) to terrorize that many people by using words. ☯.Zen Swashbuckler .☠ 20:22, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* Hitler's plan, spelled out in Mein Kampf, required exterminating the Jews and exterminating the Slavic population of eastern Europe so that their lebensraum could be filled by Germans. Stalin was utterly ruthless but his goals did not include the extermination of large masses of people. Looie496 (talk) 01:38, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
* Many users said above that Stalin didn't exterminate large masses of people based on ethnicity, but that's absolutely false. See Decossackization and Population transfer in the Soviet Union, especially the section on "Ethnic operations". Entire ethnic minorities within Russia were deported to Siberia, with death rates due to starvation and disease of 43%. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:52, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
* Yeah. Sometimes I like to joke that Stalin was an equal opportunity homicidal maniac, but that's not entirely true.--Wikimedes (talk) 06:54, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
* IMHO both Stalin and Hitler were plenty evil, but here are a few more reasons for Stalin being less unpopular: Germany is closer to Britain and France than Russia. Stalin won the war. Nazi propaganda died down considerably after WWII, but Communist propaganda continued in force for another half century. (BTW, Stalin's mass murders were not "incidental", were premeditated, and had reached into the millions before war had broken out.)--Wikimedes (talk) 06:54, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
* One factor is that Stalin actually improved his nation, in many ways, while Hitler did not. Industrialization, education, military and political power all increased under Stalin. While they may have initially increased under Hitler, all were in a sad state by the end of his reign, which comes down to losing the war. Had Hitler won, then he would probably be more popular, at least with his allies. StuRat (talk) 16:35, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
* Both men were absolutely evil. Stalin killed more than did Hitler--he just gets better press in the West. Of course Mao outdid them both. μηδείς (talk) 18:30, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
There's the article "Comparison of Nazism and Stalinism", which no one seems to have linked yet. Gabbe (talk) 21:19, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
North Korea's justification
I'm familiar with North Korea's modus operandi when it comes to these things, but I wondered if I'd missed it... has North Korea given a supposed reason for their recent provocations? I understand the real reason is transition of power, both with the new Kim Jong and the new South Korean president, but has the NK media given any excuses other than the usual stuff? Shadowjams (talk) 17:28, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* "counter{ing} U.S. 'aggression'" - pretty much the usual stuff. -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 17:36, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* You may find The Pyongyang Times - the official website of the national newspaper (in English) - fascinating reading (don't click on the randomly hyperlinked words within each story, because they just produce a pop-up telling you that you can win an iPad2 if you 'answer the following question'.) I think all of the information you are looking for will be in there. KägeTorä - (影虎) ( TALK ) 10:58, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

“Watch yourself, that you do not forget the LORD who brought you from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” -Deut. 6:12 “Yad Vashem” is a Hebrew phrase literally meaning “a monument and a name” (my Hebrew professor at Baylor is smiling right now). It is used in the context of the Holocaust of the 1930’s by the Nazi regime against European Jews, and it carries the motto to “never forget.” What we remember and what we forget makes all the difference in the quality of our lives. One of the most famous monuments in the world is called the Yad Vashem, Israel's official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. It is dedicated to preserving the memory of the dead; honoring Jews who fought against their Nazi oppressors and Gentiles who selflessly aided Jews in need; and researching the phenomenon of the Holocaust in particular and genocide in general, with the aim of avoiding such events in the future. God, in His creative design, built man with a phenomenal computer called a brain. Even the most powerful computers of today don't come close to equaling the brain’s power. Perhaps the most amazing part of the brain is the cortex, the seat of the brain that involves short and long term memory. We are designed to be able to forget some things and remember others. There are people today who claim that the Holocaust never took place. They do concede that the Jews were mistreated, but they claim there were no gas chambers or persecutions or murders. Yet, as the aged survivors testify, these events did happen. By remembering, we recognize that we all have the capacity to do it again. That evil lurks in all of our hearts. We like to think of the Nazi regime as being a mentally ill, incapacitated people. Truth is, they were people like us. Yet they justified and reasoned away their actions. They had forgotten the atrocities of people before them. Civil War monuments and confederate flags are being taken down across the country like never before. They are seen as offensive by many people as supporting racial inequality. But the Civil War actually took place. Removing the monuments will only numb us to the reality of the price we paid, as a country, for being divisive. Edmund Burke, the famous British statesman in the 1700’s, said "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." A classic example is Hitler's invasion of Russia. Napoleon had tried that, and Hitler made the same mistake, and suffered the same fate. On both occasions, the Russians simply retreated, drawing the enemy further and further into Russia in their advance, and then, when they Russian winter struck, and the invaders were unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with it, they were slaughtered by the thousands during their retreat. We do the same thing and we are not aware. We tend to forget what we need to remember and remember what we need to forget. Most of us remember our failures. Sometimes the “memory tapes” and memories of difficult times haunt us, even though they are in the past. Paul, who did some pretty terrible things before he came to know Christ (Acts 8:3) was not afraid to share that part of his past, even though those things did not define him. He wrote, “…one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”- Phil. 3:13-14. He let go of the past, not literally forgetting (which would require a frontal lobotomy- not a good thing), but by letting those things go and moving on. Paul was able to spread the good news of Jesus and not forget His faithfulness. Jesus had just fed the five thousand. Then He fed the four thousand. They were both miraculous and the disciples were there. They saw and experienced both events. Then, the disciples became hungry and realized they had no food. “Where will we get food” they wondered? “Jesus, aware of this, said, “You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread? Do you not yet understand or remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up? Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets full you picked up? How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?” -Matt. 16:10-11. As my brother-in-law Brian would say, “They were as sharp as a marble.” Their hearts and spirits were dull. But they were learning as we are. Our challenge is to keep our spirits and souls sharp. We do that by remembering what God has done for us. He has always been faithful. He has always provided. His will is perfect and true. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to us and His timing is not ours, but it’s always best. May we remember the things that matter. May we always remember the faithfulness of our wonderful God and Yad Vashem, “never forget”… …even when we’re hungry. By Eric Joseph Staples © www.lifeaid101.com

'rm' can't see file
From: the prophet <elijah.daniel_at_yale.edu>
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 1998 12:56:13 -0400 (EDT)
I was testing my incremental backup code, trying out various scenarios of
renaming/deleting/modifying files between backups, when this happened:
[triffid:12:48pm]/coda > ls
thingy users/
[triffid:12:48pm]/coda > rm thingy
rm: remove `thingy'? y
rm: thingy: No such file or directory
[triffid:12:49pm]/coda > cat thingy
Here's a test file!
This was a somewhat unpleasant surprise, to say the least. Anybody have
some idea of what is going on here? I'm 99% sure that taking dumps of the
volume does not change it at all; even if it did, I'm confused as to how
ls and cat see the file, but rm doesn't.

Embraer deliveries rise, driven by commercial jet segment
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Embraer SA (EMBR3.SA), the world’s No. 1 regional planemaker, delivered 35 commercial jets and 24 executive jets in the second quarter, representing increases on a quarterly and annual basis. In a Tuesday securities filing, Embraer said commercial plane deliveries rose about 35 percent year on year, while those of large executive jets rose by five units from a year earlier. Embraer’s backlog of firm orders fell to $18.5 billion at the end of June from $19.2 billion in March, the filing said. So far this year, Embraer has delivered 92 planes of which 53 were commercial jets and 39 executive jets.

Causes of tooth discoloration, how does it go away?
Dis Sararmasi Nedenleri Nasil Gecer
Tooth discoloration can develop due to various factors. The impact of the foods and drinks consumed is usually significant. Additionally, habits such as smoking can also cause stains on the teeth. Moreover, insufficient attention to oral hygiene can lead to the yellowing of teeth over time. Fortunately, it is possible to overcome this problem. It is necessary to first understand the causes well. Then appropriate treatment methods should be determined and applied. Thus, the teeth can regain their former health and whiteness.
Types of Stains
The discoloration of teeth is classified into three main categories: extrinsic, intrinsic, and age-related. Extrinsic discoloration generally occurs on the surface of the tooth enamel. The main factors causing these types of stains are:
• Foods
• Drinks
• Tobacco use
These stains caused by external factors can be significantly reduced with proper dental cleaning and care. Intrinsic discoloration, on the other hand, is found within the tooth and is generally resistant to external whitening products. The main causes of intrinsic discoloration are:
• Use of certain medications
• Dental trauma or injuries
• Cavities
• Excessive fluoride intake
• Genetic factors
These types of stains require more in-depth treatment methods. Age-related discoloration is usually known for the gradual wear of the tooth enamel over time. This condition causes the tooth to take on a more yellow color. The basis of age-related color changes lies in both extrinsic and intrinsic factors. With the thinning of the enamel, the dentin inside the tooth becomes more prominent, and yellowing becomes more noticeable. These changes can be managed with professional treatments performed by dentists.
Causes of Tooth Discoloration
Color changes in teeth can be caused by various factors. Particularly, foods and drinks consumed penetrate the surface layers of the teeth and cause stains. The most noticeable staining substances are:
• Red wine and red sauces
• Tea and coffee
• Chocolate
Additionally, tobacco use also causes yellowing and staining of the teeth. Smoking and chewing tobacco can cause permanent color changes on the teeth. Moreover, as the teeth age, the enamel wears down and the teeth become more brittle, making them more prone to staining.
Dental injuries can also cause color changes. Teeth affected by an injury usually darken only in the damaged areas. On the other hand, some antibiotics taken during childhood, especially tetracycline, can cause permanent color changes in the teeth.
Research shows that an acidic mouth environment also lays the groundwork for enamel damage and consequently color changes. Acidic drinks and some foods can trigger this situation. Regular oral hygiene and dental check-ups are recommended as a precaution to protect the enamel.
Methods to Remove Stains
Tooth yellowing is a common problem, and various methods exist to combat it. To achieve an effective result, the methods to be applied must be chosen carefully. Teeth whitening procedures are mainly classified into three categories:
• In-office treatments: Dentists usually use solutions containing more concentrated hydrogen peroxide than those used at home. This method allows the teeth to be whitened quickly, and the result obtained can be long-lasting.
• At-home teeth whitening kits: Your dentist prepares special trays suitable for your teeth and gives them to you for home use. These trays are filled with whitening gel and worn for a certain period. This application, which usually lasts for several weeks, can lighten the color of your teeth.
• Over-the-counter products: Whitening toothpastes and strips available in stores can help reduce surface stains. Although they are not effective on deeper stains, they are useful for surface changes.
It is important to consult your dentist before choosing any whitening method. Some products can cause tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. Regular consultations with your dentist allow for the correct product to be selected and applied. Additionally, regular cleaning of the teeth prevents the formation of stains and helps reduce existing stains.
When to Treat Tooth Yellowing: The Importance of Dental Visits
When yellowing or discoloration of the teeth is noticed, and home-applied methods are insufficient, it usually indicates deeper problems. In this case, seeing a dentist is essential to correctly identify the cause of the problem and determine the appropriate treatment. Particularly, stains that cannot be removed with over-the-counter whiteners can be indicative of serious health problems. Your dentist will evaluate these situations with a detailed examination.
• Dark spots that suddenly appear on the tooth
• Persistent color changes that cannot be corrected with whitening products
• Color change in a single tooth
These may indicate serious problems such as cavities or injuries under the enamel. Early intervention prevents the progression of such problems and avoids the need for more complex procedures. Regular dental visits also allow potential problems to be detected early. Routine check-ups at least twice a year help maintain the health of your teeth and allow for the resolution of potential problems before they worsen.
How to Prevent Tooth Discoloration
Preventing tooth discoloration is possible with some changes in your daily habits. First of all, it is necessary to clean the teeth 40 minutes after consuming colored foods and drinks. If you cannot brush your teeth immediately, drinking water or rinsing your mouth with water can reduce the formation of stains. Maintaining regular oral hygiene is one of the most effective methods to prevent tooth yellowing.
Add the following steps to your daily dental care routine:
• Brush your teeth at least twice a day.
• Use dental floss every day.
• Use mouthwash and products with whitening properties.
It is also important to avoid habits that can cause stains on the teeth. Smoking and tobacco products can cause permanent stains on the teeth. Giving up such habits helps your teeth stay healthier. Reviewing your food and drink choices and limiting those with negative effects on your teeth will also be beneficial. Being proactive is one of the cornerstones of dental health. If necessary, always carry a toothbrush with you to clean your teeth when needed.
Methods to Eliminate Tooth Yellowing and Stains
Tooth yellowing is usually caused by external factors. The most common among them are foods and drinks containing pigments. In particular, drinks such as coffee, tea, and wine can leave stains on the teeth. Tobacco products also play a significant role in the color change of the teeth. These stains on the tooth surface can be reduced or completely eliminated through various whitening techniques. Professional teeth whitening procedures should be performed under the supervision of a dentist. At-home whitening kits also offer an alternative solution. However, color changes inside the teeth are more complex. These intrinsic stains are caused by:
• Cavities
• Injuries
• Use of certain medications
Intrinsic stains are generally more permanent, and their treatment should include the methods recommended by your dentist. The treatment process requires different methods depending on the type and severity of the stains. After determining the cause of the problem, your dentist will share the most effective treatment plan with you. This plan aims to improve the aesthetic appearance while preserving the health of the teeth.

Analysis of an unfitted mixed finite element method for a class of quasi-Newtonian Stokes flow
Abstract:
We propose and analyze an unfitted method for a dual-dual mixed formulation of a class of Stokes models with variable viscosity depending on the velocity gradient, in which the pseudoestress, the velocity and its gradient are the main unknowns. On a fluid domain Ω with curved boundary Γ we consider a Dirichlet boundary condition and employ an approach previously applied to the Stokes equations with constant viscosity, which consists of approximating Ω by a polyhedral computational subdomain Ω_h, not necessarily fitting Ω, where a Galerkin method is applied to compute solution. Furthermore, to approximate the Dirichlet data on the computational boundary Γ_h, we make use of a transferring technique based on integrating the discrete velocity gradient. Then the associated Galerkin scheme can be defined by employing Raviart–Thomas of order k ≥ 0 for the pseudostress, and discontinuous polynomials of degree k for the velocity and its gradient. For the a priori error analysis we provide suitable assumptions on the mesh near the boundary Γ ensuring that the associated Galerkin scheme is well-posed and optimally convergent with O(h^(k+1)). Next, for the case when Γ_h is taken as a piecewise linear interpolation of Γ, we develop a reliable and quasi-efficient residual-based a posteriori error estimator. Numerical experiments verify our analysis and illustrate the performance of the associated a posteriori error indicator.

Aung San Suu Kyi Nominated as Minister in Myanmar’s Government
NAYPYIDAW, Myanmar — Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will be a minister in Myanmar’s new government, according to a list of nominees for cabinet positions released on Tuesday by the country’s president-elect, U Htin Kyaw. The move ensures that Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace laureate whose National League for Democracy party won a landslide victory in November elections, will officially hold a high-ranking position despite being barred from the presidency. The party had already said that Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, its leader and Myanmar’s most popular politician by far, would give orders to the president regardless of her title. Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi’s specific post was not announced on Tuesday and may not be known for days. Analysts had suggested that she might take the role of foreign minister, which would enable her to sit on the powerful National Defense and Security Council. She could also hold more than one post; one leaked document said that in addition to the foreign affairs ministry, her portfolio would include the ministries of education, energy and the presidential office. Despite her party’s victory in the landmark election last year, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi cannot serve as president because of a clause in the country’s military-drafted Constitution, which bars anyone with foreign relatives from holding the post. Her two sons have British citizenship, and the clause is believed to have been written specifically to prevent her from becoming president. Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi said last year that she would be “above” the president. Her close ally, Mr. Htin Kyaw, was elected president by Parliament last week.

Abstract
Problem definition: Achieving broad access to health services (a target within the sustainable development goals) requires reaching rural populations. Mobile healthcare units (MHUs) visit remote sites to offer health services to these populations. However, limited exposure, health literacy, and trust can lead to sigmoidal (S-shaped) adoption dynamics, presenting a difficult obstacle in allocating limited MHU resources. It is tempting to allocate resources in line with current demand, as seen in practice. However, to maximize access in the long term, this may be far from optimal, and insights into allocation decisions are limited. Academic/practical relevance: We present a formal model of the long-term allocation of MHU resources as the optimization of a sum of sigmoidal functions. We develop insights into optimal allocation decisions and propose pragmatic methods for estimating our model’s parameters from data available in practice. We demonstrate the potential of our approach by applying our methods to family planning MHUs in Uganda. Methodology: Nonlinear optimization of sigmoidal functions and machine learning, especially gradient boosting, are used. Results: Although the problem is NP-hard, we provide closed form solutions to particular cases of the model that elucidate insights into the optimal allocation. Operationalizable heuristic allocations, grounded in these insights, outperform allocations based on current demand. Our estimation approach, designed for interpretability, achieves better predictions than standard methods in the application. Managerial implications: Incorporating the future evolution of demand, driven by community interaction and saturation effects, is key to maximizing access with limited resources. Instead of proportionally assigning more visits to sites with high current demand, a group of sites should be prioritized. Optimal allocation among prioritized sites aims at equalizing demand at the end of the planning horizon. Therefore, more visits should generally be allocated to sites where the cumulative demand potential is higher and counterintuitively, often those where demand is currently lower.

UPDATE 2-Capita's shares rise on defence contract, business sale
(Updates shares, adds detail) By Arathy S Nair June 19 (Reuters) - British outsourcing company Capita plc said it had sold a supply chain business and won a government contract to provide firefighting services on military sites, showing progress in its turnaround plan and lifting its shares. Capita, which raised 701 million pounds ($922 million) from investors in May after a series of profit warnings, said the sale of Supplier Assessment Services would help strengthen the company. “This transaction marks a further step in executing the strategy announced in April aimed at simplifying and strengthening the business to deliver future success,” Chief Executive Jonathan Lewis said. Analysts said the price of 160 million pounds ($212 million) in the sale to private equity firm Warburg Pincus was higher than expected. Capita shares were up 6.2 percent as of 1225 GMT, building on gains it has made since Lewis set out a strategy to refocus the company. Analysts also welcomed the contract win, the first major deal awarded by the government since the collapse of Carillion, a construction and outsourcing partner to the government which went out of business in January, rocking the sector. The Unite union said Capita had beaten rival Serco to the contract. Serco shares were down 1.4 percent. But the union also warned that the provision of such key services, including in war zones, should not be farmed out to private companies. The government said in a statement the contract would deliver a more modern and agile service and added that it had made robust assessments of the financial health of its suppliers. Capita, which provides IT-led services for the public and private sector, has run into problems after chasing contracts on slim margins. Lewis, who took over in December after working for oil services company Amec Foster Wheeler, said in April that many of Capita’s problems were self-inflicted, and could be tackled by doing “fewer things better”. The company is working to control costs, sell businesses and pay down debt. Capita has lined up disposals worth 300 million pounds for this year, and more in the following two years, with a plan to return to revenue growth in 2020. Jefferies analysts warned, however, that the new contract could be loss-making in the first two years despite contributing 40-50 million pounds in annual revenue. Jefferies also noted that Capita’s win was a surprise as Serco and rival Babcock indicated the contract had a mid- to high-single-digit margin while Capita usually targets margins of more than 10 percent. $1 = 0.7602 pounds

GLOBAL MARKETS-Investors trade on policy split between U.S. and Europe
* European stocks fail to match Wall Street records * Fed minutes to reinforce rate hike conviction * German bond yields bounce off lows on ECB loan plan * Gap between U.S.-German yields near 11-year high (Updates prices) By John Geddie LONDON, Nov 23 (Reuters) - European shares dipped and German bond yields briefly touched record lows on Wednesday, a contrast with the buoyant mood on Wall Street as investors focused on diverging growth and interest rate prospects in Europe and the United States. U.S. stocks were set to hold on to gains after the Dow closed above 19,000 for the first time on Tuesday, with investors anticipating a growth boost under President-elect Donald Trump and a rate hike from the Federal Reserve - expectations that should be reinforced by minutes released later on Wednesday. With European policymakers leaning the other way, reaffirming their commitment to an easy approach, and banking worries rattling the bloc’s stock markets, the single currency held near one-year lows. The dollar, meanwhile, is perched near a 14-year high. The transatlantic split has been most stark in bond markets, with the falling yields on two-year German paper keeping the gap to U.S. equivalents near an 11-year high. In Britain, sterling was a tad weaker at $1.2396 before a budget update from finance minister Philip Hammond. Hopes for fiscal stimulus have been lowered as the government has stressed its borrowing limits. “We do like policy divergence trades,” Rabobank strategist Lyn Graham-Taylor said. “I think markets had been a bit euphoric in the wake of Trump and now they are coming around to the understanding that there is not going to be fiscal stimulus that is going to be good for everyone.” Weighed down by Italian banking stocks, euro zone shares shed 0.3 percent, failing to match the exuberance in Asia, where stocks gained 0.7 percent to strike a one-week high, and Tuesday’s rally in the U.S. With Japan on holiday, Australia’s main index led the action in Asia with a rise of 1.35 percent to a one-month top, helped by strength in bulk commodity prices. China’s blue-chip CSI300 index advanced 0.5 percent to a near 11-month peak as the yuan touched its lowest in six years. For Reuters new Live Markets blog on European and UK stock markets see reuters://realtime/verb=Open/url=http://emea1.apps.cp.extranet.thomsonreuters.biz/cms/?pageId=livemarkets With equities in demand, U.S. bonds were getting the cold shoulder. Two-year note yields rose as far as 1.107 percent on Tuesday, the highest since April 2010. Euro zone yields have been heading in the opposite direction and some solid growth data did little to shake expectations for more monetary easing from the European Central Bank next month. That saw yields on German two-year paper hit a record low of minus 0.74 percent early on Wednesday. That move kicked into reverse after a report that the ECB is looking to lend out more bonds to avert a market freeze, although the gap to U.S. Treasuries remains near its widest since 2005. That gap kept the euro pinned at $1.0624, not far from last week’s one-year trough at $1.0569. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar was flat at 101.03, very close to a 14-year peak. The dollar also kept most of its recent hefty gains on the yen at 111.04, though it has met resistance around 111.35 in the last couple of sessions. Emerging markets have struggled in recent days as surging U.S. bond yields sucked much-needed capital out of Asia. Trump’s past talk of trade tariffs has also weighed on sentiment in the export-intensive region. Analysts at JPMorgan said Trump’s pledge to dump the Trans-Pacific Partnership was already priced into markets. “What may not be factored in is the possibility of follow-through on other, more protectionist campaign proposals,” they wrote in a note to clients. “We remain concerned about this as a source of downside risk, delivering a negative surprise to markets which so far appear to be enamored of his emphasis on fiscal stimulus and deregulation since the election.” Elsewhere, oil prices edged higher but gains were capped by investors’ doubts that oil cartel OPEC would agree to a large enough production cut to significantly reduce a global surplus when it meets next week. Brent crude rose 25 cents to $49.37 a barrel, while U.S. crude rose 20 cents to $48.22. Industrial metals advanced on talk of demand from China and the whole global reflation trade. Copper was near a 16-month high, while iron ore futures <0#DCIO:> surged 8 percent on the back of higher steel prices. (Additional reporting by Wayne Cole in Sydney; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)

HomeCareHibiscus Medicinal Uses
Hibiscus Medicinal Uses
Hibiscus (Hibiscus spp.) is a flowering plant known for its vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers and a range of potential medicinal uses. Different parts of the hibiscus plant, including the flowers, leaves, and calyces (the fleshy, protective covering around the flower base), are utilized for their various health benefits. Some of the potential medicinal uses of hibiscus include.
Hibiscus Medicinal Uses
Hypertension Management
Hibiscus tea is often consumed as a natural remedy for managing high blood pressure. Some studies suggest that compounds in hibiscus can have a mild diuretic effect and may help lower blood pressure levels.
Antioxidant Properties
Hibiscus contains a variety of antioxidants, including vitamin C and anthocyanins, which help protect cells from oxidative stress and inflammation. Antioxidants are believed to contribute to overall health and may have anti-aging effects.
Cholesterol Reduction
Some research has indicated that consuming hibiscus tea might have a positive impact on cholesterol levels by reducing LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and total cholesterol levels.
Weight Management
Hibiscus extracts may influence body weight and fat accumulation. Some animal studies suggest that hibiscus compounds could potentially help with weight management, although more research is needed to fully understand this effect in humans.
Digestive Health
Hibiscus is sometimes used to support digestive health due to its potential to alleviate constipation and improve bowel regularity.
Diabetes Support
Hibiscus extracts have shown promise in lowering blood sugar levels, which could be beneficial for people with diabetes. However, individuals with diabetes should consult their healthcare provider before using hibiscus as a complementary treatment.
Liver Health
Some studies suggest that hibiscus compounds may have a protective effect on the liver and could potentially be used as a natural remedy to support liver health.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Hibiscus extracts may possess anti-inflammatory properties, which could be beneficial for managing inflammation-related conditions.
Immune System Support
The vitamin C content in hibiscus contributes to immune system support, helping the body fight off infections and illnesses.
It’s important to note that while there is evidence to support some of these potential benefits, more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of action and the effectiveness of hibiscus for various health conditions. Additionally, individual responses to hibiscus can vary, and it may interact with certain medications or have contraindications for specific health conditions. If you’re considering using hibiscus for its potential health benefits, it’s recommended to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking medications.

Why do I have hip pain?
Understanding arthritis
Your hip pain may be due to arthritis or chronic swelling and inflammation in the joint. Arthritis may occur following damage to joint (post-traumatic), wear and tear (osteoarthritis) or generalised inflammatory conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis).
hip arthritis
With osteoarthritis, the cushioning cartilage at the end of the bone may have worn down, causing friction and pain as the bones rubs against each other.
hip arthritis symptoms
With rheumatoid arthritis, a person’s immune system damages the joints with uncontrolled inflammation.
hip arthritis treatment
With post-traumatic arthritis, a broken or fractured bone extends into the joint space, causing the surface to become uneven. This may abnormally load the cushioning cartilage causing it to wear down.

Is there a configuration file for gnu make?
make config file
makefile config
./configure file
makefile in
run configure
configure ac_
configure && make && make install
gnu configure
I want to tell make that it shall always use -j4 option even if I didn't specify it vie command line. Normally i would do this in some configuration file (i.e. ~/.makerc).
Does such file exist for gnu make?
Have a read about the $(MAKEFLAGS) variable:
export MAKEFLAGS=j4
However this will likely interfere with recursive-make-based builds (not that sensible people are using recursive make anyway!), by interfering with GNU make's ability to communicate with its sub-makes.
So the more sensible approach is probably a wrapper script or an alias or shell function.
makefile - Is there a configuration file for gnu make?, Instead, it should include a file Makefile.in which contains the input used for editing. Once again, this is so that people won't be able to build the program without GNU make. This file documents the GNU make utility, which determines automatically which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issues the commands to recompile them. This is Edition 0.75, last updated 17 January 2020, of The GNU Make Manual, for GNU make version 4.3.
Well, yes and no --- normally you would use an include file. Put your common configuration items together in a file, say common.mk and add
include common.mk
at the top of your makefile. If the flag doesn't have a matching way to configure it from inside the make file, you can use a function
function mk {
make -j4 $*
}
Configuration (GNU Coding Standards), the parameters and initial settings for some computer programs. They are used for user applications, server processes and operating system settings. If you type ‘make distclean’, then make not only removes the same files as does ‘make clean’ but also the TAGS, Makefile, and config.status files. (Although it is not evident, this makefile (and config.status ) is generated by the user with the configure program, which is provided in the tar distribution, but is not shown here.)
It doesn't exist, but you can do this by having a recursive call into make.
For example:
Makefile:
-include $(HOME)/.makerc
.DEFAULT_GOAL: all
# This will handle a default goal if make is just called without any target
all:
$(MAKE) $(MAKE_OPTIONS) -f Makefile.real $(MAKECMDGOALS)
# This handles all targets and passes it through
%:
$(MAKE) $(MAKE_OPTIONS) -f Makefile.real $(MAKECMDGOALS)
$(HOME)/.makerc:
MAKE_OPTIONS := -j4
Configuration file, necessary to recompile them. In a program, typically the executable file is updated from object files, which are in turn made by compiling source files. If a language config-lang.in file (see The Front End config-lang.in File) sets outputs, then the files listed in outputs there are also generated. The following configuration headers are created from the Makefile, using mkconfig.sh , rather than directly by configure .
Linux make command information and examples, Make AC_OUTPUT create each file by copying an input file (by default file .in ), substituting the output variable values. This macro is one of the instantiating GNU make. This file documents the GNU make utility, which determines automatically which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issues the commands to recompile them. This is Edition 0.75, last updated 17 January 2020, of The GNU Make Manual, for GNU make version 4.3.
I like the MAKEFLAGS approach suggested by John Marshall in lieu of make supporting something like an automatic .makerc project config file. However, I didn't want to have to remember to source a .env or similar environment variables beforehand (and unsetting them afterward).
A solution to this is to put the MAKEFLAGS assignment at the top of the Makefile itself:
#!/usr/bin/env make
MAKEFLAGS=s
.PHONY: foo
foo:
echo "hello, make"
Run it:
$ make foo
hello, make
Compared to running without the MAKEFLAGS=... line:
$ make foo
echo "hello, make"
hello, make

• as far as that goes, alias make="make -j4". But aliases are so relatively inflexible and shell functions so straightforward that I almost always use functions.
• How straightforward are they, really? You even have an error in this one: if any of your parameters to mk contain spaces, $* breaks; use "$@" instead.
• And unquoted $* breaks in another way: it does pathname expansion; e.g. mk '*'. These breakages do matter, because while targets will almost never contain spaces, asterisks, brackets, or question marks, variables you pass to make ("make CFLAGS='-g -O2' target") might.

Surgical Skin Preparation Audit Tool
AHRQ Safety Program for Surgery
Introduction
Problem Statement
Surgical skin preparation is an important strategy to prevent surgical site infection. Adequate surgical skin preparation reduces the burden of skin microorganisms prior to incision. Though it seems straightforward, surgical skin preparation is a complex process that requires the coordination and responsiveness of individuals and systems in the operating room. There are often many opportunities to improve the adequacy of surgical skin preparation.
Purpose of This Tool
This tool will help your safety program team understand how appropriately you are preparing the skin for incision. It can help your team identify practice patterns, so you can more easily pinpoint opportunities for intervention.
Please Adapt This Tool
A team of clinicians designed this tool to assess the adequacy and variability of surgical skin preparation in its operating room. Please modify this tool to best fit your team’s needs. The manufacturer’s product labeling should be consulted for directions for use of specific products, and may be helpful for developing audit questions.
How To Use This Tool
An observer who is not assisting with skin preparation passively watches the skin preparation procedure and documents observations on the data table below. We recommend that you collect data from 10 patients undergoing surgery, but there is no right or wrong number of patients to review. The more patients you review, the more likely you are to identify opportunities to improve the adequacy of surgical skin preparation. Your team can determine the approach that will work best in your perioperative area.
At the end of the month, tally your data in the Sensemaking Table and address any variability in practice.
How To Use Audit Data
Even if some team members are not part of the data collection process, the entire improvement team is responsible for creating a cohesive plan to address performance gaps. If the data reveal defects in surgical skin preparation, your team can design a quality improvement intervention to address them. You can use the AHRQ Safety Program for Surgery Toolkit to guide your team through the quality improvement intervention design process.

Dunkin' accelerates nationwide launch of Beyond Meat
Dunkin' is moving up the date of its nationwide launch of its Beyond Sausage sandwich after successful tests in Manhattan. The chain started testing the breakfast sandwich made with plant-based sausage from Beyond Meat in July in Manhattan locations. Initially, Dunkin' was planning on rolling out the menu item nationwide in January. Now, it's launching Nov. 6. The Beyond Sausage sandwich, which comes with egg and cheese, was the number two selling sandwich in Manhattan locations, lagging behind only the bacon, egg and cheese bagel, the company said Monday. Sales were more than double Dunkin's original forecast, and customers were buying it during all times of the day — not just typical breakfast hours. Dunkin' is looking to replicate that success across the country with the permanent menu item. But nationwide launches of Beyond products do not guarantee that the item will be on menus forever. Tim Hortons, the Canadian coffee chain owned by Restaurant Brands International, pulled Beyond's sausages and burgers from its menu in every province except Ontario and British Columbia in September. Shares of Dunkin', which has a market value of $6.3 billion, are up 18% this year. The stock of rival Starbucks, valued at $103 billion, is up 33% in the same time period.

Hungarian notation
(redirected from Hungarian naming convention)
Hungarian Notation
(language, convention)
A linguistic convention requiring one or more letters to be added to the start of variable names to denote scope and/or type.
Hungarian Notation is mainly confined to Microsoft Windows programming environments, such as Microsoft C, C++ and Visual Basic. It was originally devised by Charles Simonyi, a Hungarian, who was a senior programmer at Microsoft for many years. He disliked the way that names in C programs gave no clue as to the type, leading to frequent programmer errors.
According to legend, fellow programmers at Microsoft, on seeing the convoluted, vowel-less variable names produced by his scheme, said, "This might as well be in Greek - or even Hungarian!". They made up the name "Hungarian notation" (possibly with "reverse Polish notation" in mind).
Hungarian Notation is not really necessary when using a modern strongly-typed language as the compiler warns the programmer if a variable of one type is used as if it were another type. It is less useful in object-oriented programming languages such as C++, where many variables are going to be instances of classes and so begin with "obj".
In addition, variable names are essentially only comments, and thus are just as susceptible to becoming out-of-date and incorrect as any other comment. For example, if a signed short int becomes an unsigned long int, the variable name, and every use of it, should be changed to reflect its new type.
A variable's name should describe the values it holds. Type and scope are aspects of this, but Hungarian Notation overemphasises their importance by allocating so much of the start of the name to them. Furthermore, type and scope information can be found from the variable's declaration. Ironically, this is particularly easy in the development environments in which Hungarian Notation is typically used.
Simonyi's original monograph.
Microsoft VB Naming Conventions.
Hungarian notation
In programming, the use of standard prefixes in naming variables. For example, "p" means pointer, hence, pTEXTBUF is a pointer to a buffer called TEXTBUF.

Island Hopping Off the Coast of Borneo
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Adam Dean, a photographer working for The New York Times, and I had just returned from several back-to-back voyages in the South China Sea last November, reporting on the fishing industry and sleeping on cramped, roach- and rat-infested boats from Thailand and Indonesia. While waiting in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo, for our next boat to arrive, we had a couple of down days. So I suggested we try the Coral Explorer day package on offer from an adventure tours company called Intrepid Travel, based in Melbourne, Australia.

* Source? –dlthewave ☎ 04:50, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Washington metropolitan area might be a good starting point. This would include everything currently on the list except for Lake Roland (Maryland). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlthewave (talk • contribs) 04:56, January 12, 2020 (UTC)
* We will hopefully get some other editors to check in. Your opinions are known and mine are known. Lightburst (talk) 04:58, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Roland is in Baltimore county - 40 miles from D.C. Lightburst (talk) 05:07, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Where is the reliable source that describes it as being in the DC area? I've suggested inclusion criteria, but you have yet to explain yours. –dlthewave ☎ 05:09, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* We do not use Wikipedia as a source. And there is WP:NORUSH Everything happens as it should with time and consensus. Lightburst (talk) 05:12, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* I will open an edit warring complaint if you continue to refactor to your preferred versions. Discussion is taking place here. there is not an emergencyLightburst (talk) 05:22, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Would you care to explain how you're deciding what belongs on this list? You seem to have a strong preference for including certain entries, but you haven't suggested any criteria for inclusion. –dlthewave ☎ 05:34, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* This has broke down into an edit war. I won;t report you because I will likely catch a block myself, because that is just how things work here. You are a long time editor and you now how to engender good will. it is not like this. I have went to your talk page and here. I cannot get blocked for warring - and I really do not think any of this is an emergency. I do hope you can stop until we get other opinions. Things do not happen on a schedule. It is late here and I need to turn in, lets think of better ways to interact. This revert first talk later is not working. Lightburst (talk) 05:40, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Proposal
Any lake or reservoir that has a Wikipedia article and is located in the Washington metropolitan area may be included in this list.
* Support - Unambiguous and legally-defined criteria. –dlthewave ☎ 13:17, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Comment - what is the purpose of this proposal? The name of the list already defines what should be included; i.e. "lakes in the Washington D.C. area". Atsme Talk 📧 15:41, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* The purpose is to define the specific area that we're talking about. In the discussion above, the argument was made that Lake Roland (Maryland) should be included because it's "40 miles from DC" even though it's actually north of Baltimore. We need to decide exactly what we mean by "DC area", and the officially-defined metropolitan area seems like a good criteria. –dlthewave ☎ 16:33, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Support – "Area" is ambiguous. Limiting the list to just Washington, D.C. would make it too small (two lakes, two and a half reservoirs, an aquatic garden and the Tidal Basin). The Washington metropolitan area is the logical choice. Its full name is the "Washington–Arlington–Alexandria, DC–VA–MD–WV metropolitan statistical area", and that is what is known as "the DC area". It's one of the census metropolitan statistical areas or "MSA". Baltimore, BTW, is not part of "the DC area"; it's a separate Baltimore metropolitan area, aka "Baltimore–Columbia–Towson metropolitan statistical area"–a different MSA. Together, they make up the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area, aka the "Washington–Baltimore–Arlington, DC–MD–VA–WV–PA combined statistical area". That is one of the combined statistical areas or "CSA". We can have a list for the MSA or we can have a list for the CSA, just so long as there is a clearly-defined criteria, but if we're going to call it the "DC area", we shouldn't be including lakes outside of the DC area, that is, outside the DC MSA. – Levivich 17:00, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

List of lakes in the Washington D.C. area → List of lakes in the Washington metropolitan area – "Washington, D.C. area" is fairly ambiguous. Washington metropolitan area would provide well-defined inclusion criteria for this list. –dlthewave ☎ 05:55, 12 January 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk 07:00, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
* Move per nom. Awaiting the personal attacks 😭 —— SN 54129 12:19, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Oppose, per brevity. The present name is fine and not confusing, "Washington, D.C." being the common name of the city. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:25, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Oppose - readers may confuse the "Washington metropolitan area" with Washington the state. This move request is malformed but it's early enough to correct it. There should also be a map showing the borders of the D.C. area to use as a reference - perhaps use county lines as borders. Anything outside the established borders would not qualify for the list; perhaps a subsection could be considered for lakes in close proximity within a shared county but fringing on the metroplex, or something along that line. Atsme Talk 📧 15:57, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* I can see the potential for confusion. Possible solutions would be to either use "List of lakes in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area" or keep the current title and clearly define the inclusion criteria elsewhere. –dlthewave ☎ 16:35, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* My two cents is that the latter option – shorter title, clear inclusion criteria – is better. – Levivich 17:00, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Oppose Readers looking for lakes in the Washington D.C. area - will use "Washington D.C." as their search term. The present title aides navigation and that should be our first concern. The title Metropolitan has the same meaning as area - yet it does not aide navigation: relating to or denoting a metropolis, often inclusive of its surrounding areas. Lightburst (talk) 17:28, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
* Move somewhere, at least to List of lakes in the Washington, D.C. area or List of lakes in the Washington, D.C., area for consistency with the style guide. (I don't prefer the second form but I recall it being argued for strenuously in some cases.) "Washington D.C." is not consistent with Washington, D.C.. Dekimasu よ! 06:52, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Countdown to Looking Glass
Viking motif
The article ends by saying that "One of the CTV rebroadcasts of the film in the mid-1980s occurred only days before an actual confrontation in the Persian Gulf occurred between American and Soviet ships". What incident does this refer to? A shufty on Google suggests this occasion, but that was in 1991. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:57, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
* I believe that may have been the incident in question. My memory is of it happening in the late 80s, though, because I recall the Cold War was still a going concern, whereas by the time of the 1991 incident it had calmed down considerably. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:53, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
* I couldn't find anything from the 1980s, either. Could have a confused recollection of the attacks on the ships of noncombatant countries during the Iran-Iraq war, I guess, but that's hardly what it says. The rebroadcast date isn't documented or cited to anything, either, and would likely be even more difficult to check. Should the sentence be removed as unverifiable? Heather (talk) 23:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Missing theme
I think the current plot synopsis could stand a slight overhaul. One of the themes (or underlying plot lines) of the story is also the US Government's ability to respond to such fast-paced crises in the era of 24-hour news. There are details dropped about how side-swiped the White House was by the near-simultaneous occurrence of the Omanian coup and the bank crisis, the SecDef collapsing of a heart attack shortly after a brief news conference, and how Dory's boyfriend described the "signal-to-noise-ratio" of the available intelligence to the WH as "horrendous," explaining why those satellite photos may have been overlooked in the mad dash to get control of the situation.
The current plot synopsis does tend to leave those details behind... Eddievhfan1984 (talk) 21:05, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Is this based on review of declassified doctrinal information or estimates of deployment numbers?

Why You Need Alcohol Detox?
During the alcohol detox phase of treatment, a patient may experience various withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms will vary in severity, depending on the degree of alcoholism and the length of drinking. Those who drink heavily are likely to suffer from the most painful withdrawal symptoms. A medical professional will be able to help the patient cope with these symptoms, which will allow him to focus on his recovery. Here are a few tips for choosing the best alcohol detox center for your needs.
To begin the process of healing, a person should eat plenty of fruits and vegetables that contain the right nutrients and antioxidants. This will keep the body hydrated and prevent dehydration, which is a common side effect of alcohol detox. In addition to fruit, vegetables have plenty of fiber, which can help the body digest and fight off withdrawal symptoms. To avoid the worst side effects of alcohol withdrawal, eat a healthy diet rich in fiber and fruits.
Some people use alcohol to detox themselves at home. While this has been around for years, it often ends with relapse, defeating the purpose of the detox. For example, they might use a weaker version of alcohol or drink one drink every other hour. Others may decrease their intake by cutting back on the frequency of their drinks or the amount they drink. The best alcohol detox foods are those that will help your body heal itself while you are at the detox center.
For those who choose to detox at home, it is important to remember to drink plenty of water throughout the detox period. Although you may be tempted to skip meals, the alcohol detox can cause the symptoms to become worse. Keeping hydrated is essential. Without enough water, your body can experience dehydration and vomiting. Also, drinking water will deplete your iron, which will make oxygen flow difficult. Aim to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and you'll be rewarded with a clean slate.
Many people who drink heavily do not get enough water during their detox. However, it is important to consume plenty of water. Even though it is tempting to skip meals, it is vital to stay hydrated. Otherwise, alcohol detox symptoms can worsen and your body may be unable to recover. Getting enough water is essential, as it is essential to avoid dehydration during the detox process. While drinking alcohol may be easier in the short term, it is vital to drink adequate amounts of food to support your recovery.
Aside from being a healthy beverage, you should also eat healthy foods to boost your body's immunity and maintain good health. Besides, eating a well-balanced diet will give you a better chance of kicking the habit permanently. A balanced diet will improve your overall health and improve your immune system. A detox drink should help you feel better in the long run. The best alcohol detox centers will be able to help you get sober and keep it that way.

1999 Dutch cabinet formation
A process of cabinet formation took place in the Netherlands after the Second Kok cabinet offered its resignation on 19 May 1999. The reason for the dismissal was the Night of Wiegel, after which the Democrats 66 (D66) wanted to resign. After discussions led by informateur Herman Tjeenk Willink, D66 was willing to join the cabinet with People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and Labour Party (PvdA). The cabinet therefore withdrew his resignation on 8 June.
Second Kok cabinet
The Second Kok cabinet took office in 1998. Like the preceding First Kok cabinet, it consisted of the PvdA, VVD and D66 (known as the purple combination). In terms of content, D66 served as a bridge between the social democratic PvdA and the liberal VVD, but in the second cabinet D66 was no longer numerically necessary for a majority.
Night of Wiegel
An important reason for D66 to join the cabinet was the introduction of a binding referendum. During the first Kok cabinet, the necessary constitutional amendment had already passed both Chambers and the House of Representatives had also approved this in the second reading with the necessary two-thirds majority. However, at the first reading in the Senate, five members of the VVD voted against and indicated that they would maintain their objections. All five were required for a two-thirds majority. The March 1999 provincial elections showed that after the May 1999 Senate election the required majority would be even further away. Prominent D66 figures, including party leader Thom de Graaf, indicated that rejection of the referendum would have consequences for the cabinet. Prime Minister Kok came with that message to the Senate debate on the bill on 18 May. Under this pressure, five senators changed their positions. Only former party leader Hans Wiegel voted against during what has become known as the Night of Wiegel, meaning the amendment was rejected.
The cabinet met a day later. For VVD and PvdA this was not worth cabinet crisis. Also because the Netherlands was involved in the Kosovo War. They suggested resubmitting the bill, which meant it had to pass through both Houses twice again. This was insufficient for D66 and they wanted the entire cabinet to resign. If the entire cabinet did not resign, only the D66 ministers would. Kok and PvdA parliamentary group leader Ad Melkert wanted to prevent this so as not to give the impression that governing with VVD was possible without D66. They managed to convince their ministers. On 19 May, the cabinet then offered collective resignation.
Informateur Tjeenk Willink
In the evening of 19 May, the crisis was debated in the House of Representatives. De Graaf indicated that new elections should be held. Dijkstal did not think elections were necessary and argued for restoration of the coalition or else continuation by PvdA and VVD. Melkert was against continuation without VVD and preferred restoration or elections. Opposition parties Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), GroenLinks, Socialist Party and Reformatory Political Federation (PRF) argued for new elections. The Political Reformed Party (SGP) wanted a rump cabinet of PvdA and VVD. The Reformed Political League (GPV) wanted a new coalition based on the current House composition. The parliamentary group leaders reiterated these positions during the consultations with Queen Beatrix, who also received her permanent advisors. Only De Graaf was less certain by indicating that he would not refuse to cooperate in a restoration attempt. Based on the advices, Beatrix appointed vice-president of the Council of State and former PvdA politician Herman Tjeenk Willink as informateur to reconstruct the coalition. Melkert had also suggested appointing a D66 informateur to bind that party to the process, but D66 refused.
On 25 May, Tjeenk Willink started his conversations with Kok and the three parliamentary group leaders. Among the PvdA ministers there were those in favor of continuing to govern, if necessary without D66, such as Bram Peper, Klaas de Vries and Karin Adelmund. A growing part of the parliamentary group actually longed for an end to the purple coalition. Melkert emphasized the importance of trying to restore the coalition first. VVD maintained the position that they wanted to continue governing, but did not intend to actively accommodate D66. D66 members, such as De Graaf and founder Hans van Mierlo, had initially hoped that their principled position would lead to gains in the polls, but this did not materialise. This led to a growing conviction among parliamentary group members and veterans, including Van Mierlo, that a permanent break was not wise. It was also feared that other important points for D66 such as euthanasia would be at risk if CDA were to govern after elections. D66 therefore entered the discussions with Tjeenk Willink with the intention to join, but not at all costs.
Tjeenk Willink proposed finding a solution in the area of "government reform", where the crisis originated. VVD and D66 did not want to change the coalition agreement, but they did want to shift the emphasis. De Graaf proposed that the constitutional amendment should be resubmitted, but that a consultative referendum should also be introduced. This would not require a constitutional amendment and was therefore possible within this cabinet period. With the support of Melkert, De Graaf wanted the conditions for a referendum to be reduced, such as the number of signatures required. The VVD, which was not a big supporter of referendums anyway, thought the thresholds were necessary and feared that the temporary consultative referendum would remain permanent. The parties ultimately agreed that the temporary consultative referendum would have an end date of 1 January 2005 and that signatures could be collected electronically. They then reaffirmed other government reforms from the coalition agreement, such as dualization of local government, a different electoral system and mayor's referendum.
For a moment, two incidents seemed to get in the way of the restoration attempt. The final debate on the report of the parliamentary inquiry into the Bijlmer disaster took place on 2 June, which led to additional tensions in the coalition. The report contained critical conclusions about D66 Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health Els Borst, but also VVD Deputy Prime Minister Annemarie Jorritsma and Prime Minister Kok. The PvdA parliamentary group wanted to submit a critical motion against Borst, but she threatened to resign. Ultimately, the PvdA weakened the motion to such an extent that the debate ended without political consequences. On 7 June, D66 Minister of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fisheries Hayo Apotheker resigned due to a lack of support for the reduction of the pig herd. Later that day, the Council of Ministers agreed to the negotiation result. A day later they withdrew their resignation. The position of Apotheker was taken by Laurens Jan Brinkhorst.

Hereditary Cancer: Tests and Diagnosis
What tests are used to diagnose hereditary cancer?
Genetic testing at Children’s Hospital Colorado typically requires a blood draw or a sample of tumor tissue. We then send that sample to a laboratory for analysis of specific genes to determine if there are gene mutations associated with hereditary cancer.
Whenever possible, it is best to begin genetic testing with a person in the family who has had cancer. If your child has had cancer, they may be the best first person in the family to test.
If your child has not had cancer, your genetic counselor will help you identify the best testing strategy in your family. If a gene mutation is found in one family member, then genetic testing can be made available to other relatives to determine if they have inherited the same gene change.
What if a gene mutation is found?
If a gene mutation is found, this means your child has a hereditary risk to develop cancer. Although no form of cancer screening or prevention is perfect, options may include increased cancer surveillance (such as beginning mammograms or colonoscopies at earlier ages or having ultrasounds or MRIs), taking certain medications that can reduce the chances of developing cancer, and/or having surgery to remove at-risk tissue before cancer develops.
Your genetic counselor and your child’s doctor will help determine which of your relatives are also at risk to have a gene mutation. You would be strongly encouraged to inform your relatives of your test results if a mutation were detected so that they can have the option of talking to their physicians about genetic counseling, genetic testing and appropriate cancer screening.
What if a gene mutation is not found?
If no gene mutation is found in the first person in a family to have genetic testing, then this test result has several possible meanings. Your genetic counselor will explain all of the potential reasons that genetic testing did not find a gene mutation.
If you have a relative with a known gene mutation and your test results show that you do not have the gene change previously found in your family, then your chances of developing cancer are probably no higher than anyone else’s in the general population.
Why choose Children’s Colorado for hereditary cancer risk assessment, genetic counseling, and/or genetic testing?
Genetic counseling is a confidential face-to-face communication process between your family and your genetic counselor. Your genetic counselor will work with your physicians to make recommendations for your child and your family regarding your medical care based on your evaluation. Genetic counseling may include:
• Discussion of cancer and how it develops
• Collection of information about your family history of cancer
• Individualized cancer risk assessment
• Recommendations for cancer screening and lifestyle changes for detecting and preventing cancer
• Options for genetic testing based on your history
• Exploration of the implications, risks and benefits of options in your situation
• Information about research studies relating to hereditary cancer
Children’s Hospital Colorado currently has the only cancer genetic counseling program specifically for the evaluation of hereditary cancers in children in the state of Colorado.
Is genetic counseling and/or testing right for my child and family?
Genetic testing may help you and your family to more accurately plan healthcare strategies. It may provide some peace of mind, discovering that your chances of developing cancer are not as great as you believed. Genetic testing can also determine if you have an increased chance of developing certain types of cancer and allow you and your relatives to take more proactive steps to detect cancer earlier or to prevent cancer.
There are many things to consider when deciding whether or not to have genetic testing that may be discussed during genetic counseling, including:
• Would the knowledge and information gained from genetic testing help you to make healthcare decisions?
• If you knew you had an inherited risk for cancer, would you feel comfortable continuing your current cancer detection program?
• How would you feel if you learned that you had a hereditary risk for cancer?
• When is an appropriate time for your child to be tested for a hereditary risk for cancer?
Genetic counselors are trained to help you explore your feelings and opinions about genetic testing. The results of genetic testing impact the whole family, not just the individual being tested. It is unlikely that genetic test results will have an effect on an individual’s ability to obtain or keep health insurance. Your genetic counselor will review with you the laws in place protecting genetic health information.
How do experts at Children’s Hospital Colorado diagnose hereditary cancer?
With a genetics consultation through the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, you can investigate the possibility of hereditary cancer in your family. By talking with a genetic counselor, who will use your child’s personal and/or family medical history to determine the likelihood of a hereditary cancer condition in your family, you will learn how cancer can be inherited and what steps can be taken to prevent and detect cancer as early as possible.

South Africa's Steinhoff makes rival bid for Home Retail
LONDON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - South African furniture company Steinhoff International has made a rival bid to buy Britain’s Home Retail, the owner of the Argos group of catalogue-based stores which earlier this month agreed to be bought by supermarkets group Sainsbury’s. Steinhoff, which makes furniture mostly in developing countries and sells it to value-conscious consumers in Europe, said on Friday it had offered Home Retail shareholders around 175 pence per share, comprising cash and certain additional payments. Home Retail said it was reviewing the proposal and urged its shareholders to take no further action. It had previously said it was willing to recommend the Sainsbury’s bid of 161.3 pence per Home Retail share, valuing the firm at 1.3 billion pounds.

front squats with dumbbell
Squats improves your balance, coordination, leg strength and muscle tones. Dumbbell fornt squats is a squat variation with additional external weights. Learn 5 reasons why we love the dumbbell front squat.
This squat variation works your muscles slightly different than the standard squat. Having more weights requires more core engagement to maintain proper form and posture.
If you are new to squatting, start with simple body-weight squat and learn proper squat form. This will enable you to squat with proper form and build enough core strengh before working with external reistance.
5 Reasons to love the front squats:
1. It targets the front thighs muscles (quads). Holding dumbbells in front of your body places more emphasis on your quadriceps muscles, making this a great thigh thinning workout.
2. It places less pressure on your lower back or spinal compression. This makes it an ideal exercise for both beginners and people with lower back pain.
Women who are new to exercise often don’t have enough stomach muscles and core strength to perform exercises like barbell back squats, for those women, this dumbbell front squat is a great alternative.
3. This squat challenges you to maintain the upright position that prevents you from leaning forward. This improves your core and spinal stability. If you happen to lean forward, you immediately lose your balance and drop the dumbbells.
4. Less torque on the lower back. During the front squat, the torso stays nearly vertical which results in less rotational force on your lower back.
5. It works your core. Maintaining the upright torso during the front squat exercise requires your abs and core to engage. This helps to avoid leaning forward as you lower your body down into the squat position. Keep your body in the vertical position. This makes your core work endlessly.
Benefits of Dumbbell Front Squats:
Along with your thighs and butt, hamstring and calf muscles all benefit from the dumbbell front squat. These muscles are stabilizing muscles that help with your posture.
The muscles include the erector spinae located in your back, the deltoid in your shoulders, the pecs in your chest and the trapezius in your upper shoulders, neck and back. Other muscles that also get engaged are the serratus anterior muscles covering your ribs, and your abdominals and obliques.
When it comes to exercise, proper form is the most important element to you getting the most out of your exercise. Although many adults struggle to squat correctly, squat is a natural movement often seen when you lower yourself to sit down on a chair.
I say it's a natural movement because we instinctively know how to squat (Just watch toddlers squat. Almost all toddlers squat perfectly without being taught how to), but we perform it incorrectly because of the predominantly sedentary lifestyle we came to adapt. This negatively affects your hip joint, mobility, and develops muscle tightness.
So, let's review how to do a proper squat:
Again, the reason why it's important to squat properly is proper squats allow you to target the intended muscles and avoid any risk of injuries.
How to do the dumbbell front squat:
1. Grasp and hold a pair of dumbbells so palms are facing out, and rest one of the dumbbell heads on top of each of your shoulder.
2. Brace your abs, and lower your body towards the floor by pushing your hips back and bending your knees.
3. Pause, then slowly push yourself back to the standing position. Continue for the complete prescribe number of repetitions.
Exercise Table
Reps Sets Level Location
10-12 1-3 Medium Gym or Home
Tips:
• Keep your chest up and out
• The top of your thighs should be parallel to the floor or lower depends on your flexibility.
• Keep your torso as upright as possible for entire exercise, and lower back should be naturally arched.
• Do not allow your elbows to drop down as you lower body into the squat.

Christian Steen (publisher)
Christian Steen (6 October 1786 – 2 April 1861) was a Danish bookdealer and publisher. He traded first as '''Chr. Steen and then as Chr. Steen & Søn'''. He was a pioneer within the fields of publication of children's literature and maps in Denmark. Alongside his bookshop and publishing house, Steen ran a very large paper wholesale business. In 1844, he established Valdemarshåb paper factory near Køge.
Early life
Steem was born on 6 October 1766 in Steenbroen, Tårs Parish, Vendsyssel. His parents were smallholder and carpenter Christen Christensen (c. 1729–1819) and Kirsten Margrethe Nielsdatter (c. 1747–1812).
Career
In 1807, he came to Copenhagen where he became an apprentice in Arentzen & Hartier at Børsen. The firm went bankrupt in 1810. Steen took over the remains of the firm and immediately opened a bookshop in Helligeiststræde. He later moved it to the corner of Pilestræde and Sværtegade. In 1820, he bought the property at Kronprinsensgade 37.
Steen was also active in the market for book and magazine publishing. He initially traded as Chr. Steen but the name of the firm was changed to Chr. S. & Søn (Chr. Steen & Son) in 1846 after his son Hans Christian Frederik Syeen (1819–1871) had become a partner.
From 1810 to 1814, he published J. Kr. Høst's De franskes Keiser Napoleons Levnet I-II. In 1815–17, he published Adrastea, et Oppositionsblad, Litteraturen, Politiet og Theatret helliget. In 1832–36, he published ''Gallerie for danske og fremmede Classikere¨¨ I-XXII (edited by Georg Carstensen). He also served as publisher for Beatus Dodts, Carit Etlar (Carl Brosbøll) and Meïr Goldschmidt. Other popular publications included N. Fr. Eibes sprogbøger_ 100 Timer i engelsk/tysk/fransk, tamslations of F. Marryat's novels and some schoolbooks. Some of his most ambitious publications were Herbarium oeconomicum and Herbarium pharmaceuticum, with hand-coloured copperåæate engravings printed in his own workshop.He was the first publisher in Denmark to publish children's literature and pucture books (mostly translations from German). He also pioneered the publication of maps and atlases in Danish.
Alongside his bookshop and publishing house, Steen ran a very large paper wholesale business. In 1844, he financed the establishment of the Valdemarshåb paper factory near Køge, which, however, brought him great losses.
Steen was one of the founders of the Association of Booksellers in Copenhagen (1837).
Personal life and leacy
Steen married on 12 August 1810 in Christianshavn to Hansine Christiana Margrethe Ussing (1784–1865). She was the daughter of Niels Ussing (1739–86) and Margrethe Kirstine Anchersen (1752–1816).
Steen died on 2 April 1862. He was buried at Assistens Cemetery. His son continued the firm but became ill, turned blind and died just ten years after his father. The firm was then continued by his widow Laura Steen (née Sønderberg, 1831–1916). In 1885, she sold it to V. Pio.

Leaky gut syndrome – Diagnosis and treatment
Health A-Z
When food is digested in the intestines, water and nutrients from the food get absorbed through the intestinal walls. Though these walls are permeable, they do not allow toxins and undigested food to pass through the walls. Unfortunately, in some cases, the gut lining can develop holes or tears. This allows the unwanted matter to pass through the walls of the intestines into the surrounding tissue. This condition is known as the leaky gut syndrome or increased intestinal permeability. If left unaddressed, it can cause a number of other gastrointestinal issues as well as allergic reactions and autoimmune reactions.
Diagnosis of the leaky gut syndrome
There are a number of tests that may be used to diagnose the leaky gut syndrome. Some of the popular tests to diagnose the leaky gut syndrome are as follows:
• Zonulin or lactulose test
This involves using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test to measure the intestinal permeability. The test also measures the amounts of lactulose and mannitol that can permeate through the intestinal living.
• IgG food intolerance test
This is a blood test that looks for food sensitivities that can make the immune system go on an overdrive.
• Stool test
This looks at bacterial levels in the intestines and the overall functioning of the digestive system. It can also reveal good and bad microbes present in the intestines, probiotic levels, and indicate the presence of any pathogenic micro-organisms.
Treating and managing the leaky gut syndrome
Leaky gut syndrome and diet
A diet that is rich in processed foods and sugar can cause and aggravate the leaky gut. This is because harmful bacteria thrive on processed sugar. Hence, such foods should be avoided. In cases where the patient is suffering from an underlying gastrointestinal issue such as celiac disease or irritable bowel syndrome, eating glutinous grains like wheat can lead to the overproduction of a protein named Zonulin. An overproduction of this protein can increase the permeability of the intestinal walls. Hence, avoiding wheat and other whole grains rich in gluten can help manage leaky gut syndrome.
It is also important to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A, vitamin D, and zinc. These foods are also rich in fiber that can feed friendly bacteria in the gut. Adding probiotics like yogurt and fermented foods to your diet can also help improve gut health. Alcohol and caffeine should be avoided as far as possible.
Adding natural anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3 fatty acids to your diet can help treat the leaky gut syndrome. Adding oily fish like salmon to your diet is the easiest way to add omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. Alternatively, you could start taking a fish oil supplement.
Leaky gut syndrome and anti-inflammatory medication
Avoiding prolonged usage of certain medications such as anti-inflammatory medicines can help relieve leaky gut syndrome. If you must take pain relievers and over the counter anti-inflammatory medication, do not take them for too long. Consult a doctor to find a medication best suited for you.
Medications are rarely used to treat the leaky gut syndrome. It is only prescribed if dietary changes and self-help measures do not relieve the discomfort caused by the leaky gut syndrome. Self-medicating for the leaky gut syndrome is not advised. Today, there is a growing interest in studying leaky gut syndrome, its effect on the body and ways to manage and treat it.
