Carl Alberg
Carl Alberg (11 April 1901 – 31 August 1986) was a Swedish born naval architect known for his influence in early fiberglass boats.
Career
Alberg moved to the United States in 1925 where he began working as a rigger then later as a spar maker. Alberg was then hired by John Alden as a designer.
His successful career and current fame as a designer however can be linked back to his partnership with Pearson Yachts and early fiberglass yacht construction. Their first collaboration was the Pearson Triton, a 28 foot fiberglass yacht which today is still frequently seen sailing oceans around the world. Alberg later designed several other models for Pearson yachts. He also designed the first model for Bristol yachts.
One of his most famous and popular designs is also one of his earliest, the Alberg 30 which was built by Whitby Boatworks in Canada as a one design club racer. This boat had a record breaking production run of over 750 boats spanning 22 years and proved a good platform for ocean cruising.
Another successful partnership was with Cape Dory Yachts who produced 10 different models designed by Alberg.

Leukemia - OAWHealth
Leukemia
By Dr. Loretta Lanphier, ND, CN, HHP, CH
A diagnosis of leukemia can strike fear into the heart, especially if it is in conjunction with a child. There are so many different varieties of leukemia, that it can all be a bit confusing. Like with any form of cancer, it is important to know and understand the specifics of your particular situation so that the best choices can be made regarding managing and treating the illness. Let’s take a look at what is known about leukemia and see if we can eliminate some of the confusion and fear often associated with this illness.
What is Leukemia?
Leukemia is a cancer of the organs that are responsible for forming blood in your body, mainly the bone marrow and lymphatic system. Taken from the Greek, the word “leukemia” literally means “white blood,” which is appropriate because most types of this cancer begin in the white blood cells. There are many types and subtypes of leukemia, but the broadest classification for leukemia is acute (fast-growing) and chronic (leukemias that progress more slowly, sometimes taking years to develop). The majority of childhood leukemia is of the acute variety, but there are far more adults that suffer from leukemia than children.
Leukemia is a complex disease that can be difficult to treat and manage simply because of its association with the lymphatic system, a network of “highways” within the body that is an integral part of the immune system. Unlike some cancers that are localized to one organ or part of the body, the lymphatic, circulatory, and bone marrow systems are spread throughout the body and thus leukemia can form and spread just about anywhere, and the cancer is usually found at multiple locations throughout the body. Therefore, leukemia can be tougher than some other types of cancer to pinpoint and knock out with common treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
Overall, leukemias account for about 2% of all cancers in the United States. Often mistakenly thought of as primarily a childhood disease, leukemia affects nine times as many adults as it does children. However, leukemia is the most common type of childhood cancer in the U.S. Approximately 30,000 new cases are diagnosed annually in this country, with about 50% of them occurring in folks over the age of 60.
Perhaps a bit of background information on the basics of the lymphatic and bone marrow systems will help us understand the workings of leukemia better. When leukemia strikes, the bone marrow, which normally produces several different types of blood cells, continues to make white blood cells, but many of them are abnormal in both quantity and function. These renegade cells eventually crowd out the normal white blood cells and interfere with their ability to fight disease and infections. These cancerous cells also affect other types of blood cells, such as red blood cells (RBCs) that transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, and platelets, which are involved in the blood clotting process.
Bone marrow is spongy tissue located inside the larger bones of the body. The lymphatic system is composed of lymph vessels (a circulatory system for transporting “lymph,” composed of a milky, white liquid made up mostly of “lymphocytes,” or white blood cells responsible for fighting disease in the body.) In addition, pea shaped organs called lymph “nodes” are located at various points along the network of lymph vessels that run throughout the body. These nodes are responsible for producing and storing lymphocytes until the immune system calls for them to fight an invader. Certain parts of the body have greater concentrations of lymph nodes including the abdomen, neck, armpits, chest, and pelvis. Other organs included in the lymphatic system include the spleen, adenoids, and tonsils.
White blood cells are classified into three major types: granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes:
• Granulocytes contain small particles (granules) of specialized enzymes (proteins) and some other substances that have the ability to tear down and destroy invaders such as harmful bacteria and chemicals that pose a threat to our health.
• Monocytes are kind of like the computer game “Pacman.” They peruse the bloodstream ingesting harmful antigens, and often settle in different organs throughout the body where they mature into other types of immune system cells.
• Lymphocytes are the workhorses of the immune system. They are also the most common and numerous types of white blood cells. They come in two major types: B cells, and T cells. B cells function by producing specialized proteins known as “antibodies” that attach themselves to bacteria and viruses and “flag” them as enemy invaders. The antibodies trigger the release of other cells in the immune system which then seek and destroy these antigens. T cells, on the other hand, are more direct in their warfare. They mostly go after viruses, and some cancer cells as well. When a virus invades a healthy cell, certain proteins are produced which identify them as harmful microorganisms that the T cells are designed to go after and destroy by making chemicals that attack and break down the viruses.
When the lymphatic, bone marrow, and immune systems are working properly and efficiently, they do a wonderful job of protecting us and keeping us healthy. However, when leukemia strikes, the white blood cells are initially affected, and this eventually triggers a break down of the entire blood producing system and the immune system. Because of these results, leukemia is a particularly destructive type of cancer that can be difficult to treat as well.
What Are the Symptoms of Leukemia?
In the earliest stages, there are often no discernable symptoms for leukemia. In fact, many times they can be mistaken for influenza or other common illnesses. Signs and symptoms will vary depending on the particular type, but there are some typical ones that often occur. These include:
• Fever
• Chills
• Fatigue and persistent weakness
• Loss of appetite
• Unexplained weight loss
• Swollen lymph nodes, often initially painless
• Enlarged liver or spleen
• Frequent infections
• Uncharacteristically easy bruising or bleeding
• Shortness of breath, especially when exerting yourself
• Bone pain or tenderness
• Petechiae (tiny red marks on your skin)
• Excessive perspiration
• Night sweats
• Headaches
• Bleeding from gums or nose
The degree of symptoms is defined mostly by the amount of abnormal blood cells generated by the leukemia and the part(s) of the body where they accumulate, as well as the specific type of leukemia.
How Are Leukemias Classified?
The first major classification is based on the speed of progression of the leukemia:
• Acute leukemia involves rapidly multiplying immature blood cells (“blasts”). They never progress to the point where they can be functional to the immune system, and there large numbers interfere with healthy cells. Acute leukemia is the most common type of childhood leukemia.
• Chronic leukemia occurs via more mature blood cells. They reproduce more slowly, and are able to perform their functions normally for a while before they begin to deteriorate. They also interfere with healthy cells less than those associated with acute leukemia do.
The second factor in classification of leukemias is related to the type of white blood cells that are attacked by the disease:
• Lymphocytic leukemia: This form affects the cells of the body’s lymphatic system. They are key components of the immune system, and are located system wide.
• Myelogenous leukemia: This type affects the myeloid cells. Some of these types of cells will later become RBCs, platelets, and white blood cells.
Armed with this basic information, we can now better understand the four major types of leukemia:
• Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML): This most common form of leukemia afflicts both children and adults. It is also known as acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.
• Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL): The most common form of childhood leukemia, accounting for about 80% of all juvenile leukemia cases.
• Chronic Lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): This slowly progressing type of leukemia is very common amongst adults, especially Jews of Russian or Eastern European descent. It is extremely rare in children.
• Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML): Affecting mainly adults, this type is associated with a chromosome abnormality known as the Philadelphia chromosome. It involves a mutant gene called BCR-ABL. This mutation produces a protein called tyrosine kinase that researchers believe triggers abnormal cell behavior that results in leukemia.
What Causes Leukemia?
Acute leukemia is thought to be triggered by a few, or even one, white blood cell that has lost or damaged DNA information. These cells remain immature, multiply profusely, and crowd out the ability of healthy white blood cells to function normally. Chronic leukemia is a slower, but just as potentially deadly, process. Eventually, the immune system and blood production system becomes unable to function properly, and most fatalities from chronic leukemia occur due to uncontrollable bleeding or opportunistic infections.
Why these changes in the blood producing and immune systems begin to occur is not known for certain, but certain risk factors have been identified:
• Genetic disorders: Certain genetic abnormalities that produce other problems in the body also seem to increase one’s risk for developing leukemia. The one that has the most evidence behind this link is Down syndrome. Clinical studies have shown a strong connection between Down syndrome and risk for leukemia.
• Previous cancer treatments: Individuals who have been treated for cancer with certain types of radiation and/or chemotherapy have a greater statistical chance of developing leukemia later in life.
• Environmental exposures: Survivors of an atomic bomb blast, such as those in Hiroshima when the bomb was dropped during World War II, have an increased risk for leukemia. The same holds true for some individuals who have been exposed to nuclear reactor accidents, such as Chernobyl in Russia. Another toxin that has been clinically linked to risk of leukemia is benzene, a solvent used in industry and an ingredient in unleaded gasoline and cigarette smoke.
What Treatments Are Available for Leukemia?
As with all cancers, treatment options are considered based on the type of leukemia, the stage of advancement, and the general health of the patient.
In most cases, surgery is not an option as most leukemias are widespread throughout the bone marrow and lymphatic systems, and not locally contained. This can also make it difficult to use radiation, but it is sometimes recommended, often requiring radiation of the entire body. Chemotherapy, typically with a combination of drugs determined by the specifics of the leukemia, is the most common form of treatment used on leukemia.
Needless to say, the side effects of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both can be very unpleasant and dangerous, especially in children. Learn as much as you can about the specifics of your situation before submitting to any therapeutic regimen. Study the risks and benefits for yourself, as you are the one who ultimately has to deal with the outcome, not your doctors or anyone else. It is advisable to gain the advice and expertise of a naturopath or MD sensitive to natural forms of cancer support therapy that can be used in conjunction with traditional allopathic medicine. This can help protect you from some of the negative side effects, and also help your body to pursue wellness naturally as it is designed to do.

What is retinopathy of prematurity?
Retinopathy of prematurity is a condition affecting premature infants of low birthweight (BW) and young gestational age (GA). It occurs when the development of normal retinal blood vessels, which typically requires a full-term pregnancy for completion, is interrupted by the premature birth. If the disease progresses, scar tissue can grow; this can lead to retinal detachment and vision loss.
Though great strides have been made in the care of profoundly premature infants and survival rates have improved considerably, retinopathy of prematurity remains a leading cause of lifelong visual impairment. Retinopathy of prematurity causes visual loss in 1300 children and severe visual impairment in another 500 children each year in the United States alone.
More mildly affected infants may experience moderate vision loss and crossed eyes.
What is the prognosis for infants with retinopathy of prematurity?
In 85% to 90% of cases, retinopathy of prematurity of milder severity resolves on its own, with no meaningful impact on vision. If retinopathy of prematurity progresses to an advanced stage, an infant may:
• Not respond appropriately to light
• Have white scar tissue visible in the pupils
• Develop an oscillating (back and forth) involuntary eye movement (nystagmus, pronounced nis TAG mus) by as early as 3 months after the original scheduled date of birth
• Progress to blindness
What are the causes of retinopathy of prematurity?
The earliest cases of retinopathy of prematurity were thought to be the result of introducing oxygen therapy into the newborn nursery to improve the survival rates of premature infants. Though more premature infants survived, some progressed to blindness. In 1942, oxygen was identified as an agent that could aggravate this process and lead to retinal detachment. Today, the use of oxygen is closely monitored and is no longer implicated as the sole or even a primary factor in retinopathy of prematurity development. While the survival rate for high-risk newborn infants has improved, the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity has remained constant since the mid-1990s.
What are the risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity?
Retinopathy of prematurity is a disease of the smallest and the sickest infants. Premature birth and low birthweight are the primary risk factors. Other risk factors for the development of retinopathy of prematurity include:
• Multiple births
• Other health problems involving the lungs and intestines
• Infection
How is retinopathy of prematurity diagnosed?
Infants of low birthweight (under 1500 grams or 3.3 lbs.) and gestational age (30 weeks or less)—as well as infants deemed higher risk by the neonatologist (due to multiple births, oxygen exposure after birth, etc.)— are screened with either bedside eye exams or digital pictures of the back of the eye (retina), which are then reviewed by a physician experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity. Once retinopathy of prematurity progresses to a certain level of severity, treatment is recommended. Treatment is most often required between 34 to 38 weeks of gestation.
How is retinopathy of prematurity treated?
Since the early 1990s, retinopathy of prematurity has been successfully treated in most infants by placing laser burns in the part of the retina that has not developed normal blood vessels. This approach prevents retinal detachment in 90% of treated eyes with few long-term side effects. Since 2007, injection of certain drugs (bevacizumab [Avastin®] or ranibizumab [Lucentis®]) into the eye to suppress growth of the abnormal blood vessels has been employed by some physicians.
To date, dosing and long-term safety information are lacking, and laser is generally the preferred approach to managing retinopathy of prematurity requiring treatment, except for those very small babies with very aggressive retinopathy of prematurity. If an eye goes on to develop retinal detachment, surgery may be performed to help reattach the retina, but the goal is to try to screen in order to treat retinopathy of prematurity at the right time to stop the progression to retinal detachment.

U.S. auto sales to rise 4% in November: J.D. Power, LMC Automotive
(Reuters) - U.S. auto sales are expected to rise about 4% in November from a year earlier, driven by strong discounts and higher consumer spending, industry consultants J.D. Power and LMC Automotive said on Wednesday. They expect average incentive spending per unit to reach $4,538 in the month, up from $4,049 last year, encouraging consumers to spend about $40.3 billion on new vehicles, up by $2.7 billion. Rising incentives would help industry growth in November, which benefits from an additional weekend, Thomas King, senior vice president of the data and analytics division at J.D. Power, said. “With more than 200,000 sales anticipated over the holiday (Thanksgiving) weekend, manufacturers are expected to target the large number of shoppers to help clear out record levels of older model-year vehicles,” King said. The average new-vehicle retail price is expected to increase by $622 in November to $34,054, the consultants said. They estimate total U.S. vehicle sales of about 1.44 million units in the month, with retail sales of new vehicles at 1.18 million units, up 5.2%. Meanwhile, North American production is expected to decline nearly 4% to 16.3 million units in 2019 amid U.S.-China trade uncertainty, the consultants said, adding the overall unease was causing a pullback in investment which could turn into a “self-fulfilling recession prophecy”. J.D. Power and LMC Automotive said they expect total light-vehicle sales for the year to be about 17.1 million units, a decline of 1.4% from 2018.

The Difference Between a Chameleon & a Gecko
By Jean Marie Bauhaus
Duncan Smith/Photodisc/Getty Images
Chameleons and geckos are both tropical and sub-tropical lizards that are popular as pets. Although they share several commonalities, each species has its own unique traits that make it easy to tell apart from one another, as well as from other lizard species. In addition, although the range and habitat of each species have some overlap, the gecko's native habitat is far more widespread throughout the world.
Reptiles
Reptiles are cold-blooded, lung-breathing vertebrate animals characterized by horny or scaly skin. The class Reptilia is divided into three distinct orders: Chelonia, which includes turtles and tortoises; Crocodilia, which includes crocodiles and alligators; and Squamata, which includes snakes and lizards. Lizards are further subdivided into two groups, Iguania and Scleroglossa. Geckos and chameleons both belong to the Iguania group, which includes reptiles with sticky tongues that are used for catching prey.
Geckos
Geckos are small to medium-sized lizards belonging to the family Gekkonidae. There are about 1,500 different species of geckos throughout the world, the largest of which is the tokay gecko of Southeast Asia, which reaches lengths of up to 14 inches. Geckos are characterized mainly by adhesive pads on the undersides of their feet that allow them to cling to smooth surfaces. Another unique characteristic of geckos is that they are the only family of lizards to possess a voice.
Chameleons
Chameleons are also small to medium in size, and belong to the family Chamaeleonidae. Chameleons are easily identifiable by their flattened bodies and buldging, independently rotating, conical-shaped eyes. Their primary unique characteristic is the ability to change the color of their skin to provide camouflage, although they share this trait with the American anole, which is sometimes referred to as the American chameleon, despite belonging to the Iguana family. Chameleons have hands and feet designed for grasping, and long, prehensile tails. They tend to move slowly, grasping onto branches as they go.
Range and Habitats
Geckos are found throughout Southeast Asia and the West Indies, as well as throughout the Mediterranean. In the Western Hemisphere they're also found throughout the Caribbean and parts of North America, primarily in Florida and the desert regions of the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Many species are arboreal, meaning that they live in trees, while some prefer to make their homes in human dwellings. The Chameleon family includes more than 150 species distributed throughout the Mediterranean, southern Europe, South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Chameleons are also arboreal and tend to live primarily in jungles and tropical forests.

Perl Arrays of Arrays
Coming from the python background, this arrays of arrays in perl has given me so much pain. I decided to put down this cheat sheet here for future reference. Basic perl knowledge is assumed.
# assign to our array, an array of array references
@AoA = (
[ "fred", "barney" ],
[ "george", "jane", "elroy" ],
[ "homer", "marge", "bart" ],
);
print $AoA[2][2];
# assign a reference to array of array references
$ref_to_AoA = [
[ "fred", "barney", "pebbles", "bambam", "dino", ],
[ "homer", "bart", "marge", "maggie", ],
[ "george", "jane", "elroy", "judy", ],
];
print $ref_to_AoA->[2][2];
For @array, use parentheses, i.e. the top example. For a reference, use square brackets, i.e. the bottom example.
Example for populating an array:
my @array = ();
push @array, ["John Smith", 35];
push @array, ["Mary Brown", 27];
Notice the square brackets here. This is because we want to keep John and 35 as one entity, so we use the square brackets here to make a reference being pushed to the array. If we use the parentheses here it will be a disaster.
How to read the above?
foreach my $entity (@array){
my $name = $entity->[0];
my $age = $entity->[1];
# do something...
}
If in python, it will be hecka easy. There is no worries about square brackets or parentheses, arrays or references. The mind can be fully devoted to the logic flow, instead of the language syntax.
L = []
L.append(["John", 35])
L.append(["Mary", 27])
for entity in L:
name = entity[0]
age = entity[1]
print name + " : " + str(age)
There is more pain to this perl arrays of arrays thing… Learn more of it at: http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Misc/perl-5.6.1/pod/perllol.html
Gosh, everyone should be using python, at least not perl.

GitHub Actions
Overview
This topic explains how to use the ld-find-code-refs utility with GitHub Actions to automatically populate code references in LaunchDarkly.
Prerequisites
To complete this procedure, you must have the following prerequisites:
• A personal API access token with writer permissions, stored as a repository secret titled LD_ACCESS_TOKEN. To learn more, read Personal API access tokens.
Setting up GitHub Actions
To set up
1. Log into GitHub and navigate to your repo.
2. Navigate to Settings > Secrets and click Add a new secret.
3. Paste in your access token to the field that appears and click Save secret.
GitHub's secret configuration screen.
GitHub's secret configuration screen.
1. Return to your GitHub repository to create a new Actions workflow.
• If you already have a action.yml file: Copy and paste the launchDarklyCodeReferences job declaration below into the jobs section in your action.yml file.
• If you don't already have a workflow file: Create a new file titled action.yml in the .github/workflows directory of your repository. Paste the following code in the Edit file section:
on: push
name: Example Workflow
jobs:
launchDarklyCodeReferences:
name: LaunchDarkly Code References
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/[email protected]
- name: LaunchDarkly Code References
uses: launchdarkly/[email protected]
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
LD_ACCESS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.LD_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
LD_PROJ_KEY: YOUR_PROJECT_KEY
Best practices for configuring an Actions file
We strongly recommend that you update the second uses attribute value to reference the latest tag in the launchdarkly/find-code-references repository.
This pins your workflow to a particular version of the launchdarkly/find-code-references action.
1. Commit this file under a new branch and submit as a PR to your code reviewers to be merged into your master branch.
Code references are not blocked by PR approval
You do not need to have this branch merged into the master branch for code references to appear in the LaunchDarkly UI; code references will appear for this newly created branch.
As shown in the example above, the workflow should run on the push event and contain an action provided by the launchdarkly/find-code-references repository.
Include both the LD_ACCESS_TOKEN as a secret and a new environment variable containing your LaunchDarkly project key.
Troubleshooting
Once your workflow is created, the best way to confirm that the workflow is executing correctly is to create a new pull request with the workflow file and verify that the newly created action succeeds.
If the action fails, there may be a problem with your configuration. To investigate, review the action's logs to view any error messages.
Additional configuration options
You can configure ld-find-code-refs with additional environment variables to enable more functionality.
Variable

HSBC Said to Seek Acquirer for Non-Life Insurance Operations
HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA) , Europe ’s largest
bank, is seeking buyers for its non-life insurance unit, two
people with knowledge of the matter said. The London-based bank is seeking preliminary bids for the
business by Oct. 13, one of the people said, asking not to be
identified because the sale process is private. The unit may be
valued at about $1.5 billion, depending on the final terms of an
exclusive insurance distribution agreement that would accompany
the sale, the person said. European lenders will need to raise an extra 423 billion
euros ($611 billion) by 2019 to comply with global capital rules
approved by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision,
according to a European Union study. HSBC is cutting jobs and
closing offices to reduce costs by as much as $3.5 billion over
the next two years as it prepares for the stricter capital rules. HSBC reported $1.3 billion of gross premiums for its non-
life insurance business last year, accounting for about 11
percent of total insurance premiums, according to its annual
report . The non-life insurance operations in Asia brought in
about $700 million of premiums in 2010, one of the people said. Gareth Hewett, a spokesman for HSBC in Hong Kong , declined
to comment on the sale of the non-life insurance operations.
Reuters reported the plan on Sept. 12, citing people it didn’t
identify. The Basel committee said in July that 28 banks would be
subject to additional capital requirements to rein in too-big-
to-fail lenders. HSBC in July agreed to sell almost half its U.S. branches
to First Niagara Financial Group Inc. for about $1 billion. The
lender said last month it will reap a $2.4 billion after-tax
gain from the sale its U.S. credit card division to Capital One
Financial Corp. (COF) The company has also sold part of its Russian
consumer banking unit and said it will shut 10 retail branches
in Poland. To contact the reporter on this story:

@elisha_langworth
To stash changes in Git, you can use the following command:
1
git stash
This command will save your current changes in a "stash" stack, allowing you to work on other tasks without committing your changes.
You can also provide a message to describe the stash:
1
git stash save "Your message here"
To apply the stashed changes back to your working directory, you can use the following command:
1
git stash pop
If you have multiple stashes, you can apply a specific stash by providing its reference:
1
git stash pop stash@{1}
You can list all stashes with the following command:
1
git stash list
To drop a specific stash, you can use:
1
git stash drop stash@{1}
And to apply a specific stash without removing it from the stash stack, you can use:
1
git stash apply stash@{1}
Remember to use stash carefully, as it can sometimes lead to conflicts when applying stashed changes. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Wall Street Journal: Trump’s treatment of Mexico is ‘amateur hour’ | TheHill
The Wall Street Journal on Thursday slammed President TrumpDonald John TrumpO'Rourke: Trump driving global, U.S. economy into recession Manchin: Trump has 'golden opportunity' on gun reforms Objections to Trump's new immigration rule wildly exaggerated MORE’s treatment of Mexico, calling White House efforts to quell the turmoil between the two nations “amateur hour.” “On Thursday morning Mr. Trump tweeted ‘if Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting,’ ” the newspaper’s editorial board wrote. “[President Enrique] Peña Nieto cancelled. Later Thursday Mr. Spicer added confusion with some comments about a border fee as part of tax reform. Chief of Staff Reince Priebus tried to walk that back, but this is amateur hour.” The Journal also warned Trump that his hard-line rhetoric on Mexico could force the U.S.’s southern neighbor to turn back to the anti-American sentiments that dominated the country’s political landscape prior to the 1980s. Stressing the importance of the U.S. trade relationship with Mexico, the editorial board said the president could hamper “Mexicans’ progress toward joining their North American neighbors as prosperous free-market democracies.” “With a population of 128 million, Mexico is America’s second-largest export market for goods,” it said. “Some six million U.S. jobs depend on trade with Mexico.” What's more, the Journal wrote, leftist factions in Mexico are waiting to take advantage of souring relations with the U.S., and anti-American politicians are preparing to take advantage of the turmoil. Trump took a hard-line stance on Mexico throughout his presidential campaign, straining ties with the country. But the tensions grew this week, when Trump signed an executive action ordering the construction of a wall along the U.S. southern border, a longtime campaign promise. In a rebuke to Trump’s actions, Peña Nieto canceled a scheduled meeting with the U.S. president on Thursday. Peña Nieto previously called Trump’s proposed border wall an assault “against our dignity as a country and our dignity as Mexicans.” View the discussion thread.

Rh until the eighth inning when a foul tip glanced away from a bat and split one of his fingers. After that McCoy went behind the plate, and it was a marvel that the visitors didn't pull the game out of the fire, for Sprague McCoy, an outfielder, was quite at sea in the backstop position. Nostrand, however, who was in the points during the last four innings, got himself together and managed to stave off two batting rallies. The incident opened Dick's eyes to the fact that a second substitute catcher was needed, and he and Captain Jones went a-hunting. It was Pete Robey upon whom their choice finally fell, and Pete found himself suddenly elevated from an insecure position amongst the rabble to a seat on the first team bench. But that was a day or two later. To-day Dick and Warner Jones were still discussing the matter when they left the field, and it was into that discussion that Fudge broke when he and Perry caught up with the older boys just as Dick swung himself into the runabout.
"Dick, did you find out anything last night?" asked Fudge eagerly.
"Hello, Fudge! Hello, Perry! Why, yes, something. Pile in here and I'll tell you in a minute. Let Perry sit in your lap, Warner, will you? Fudge, you squat on the floor." | WIKI |

Accurséd, selfish traveller! Here, in shade
Of my life’s wood you sat, and pastime made—
To waste a little leisure tore ashred
The petals of my happiness, to thread
A playful garland—then, in great disdain,
Departing, snap in two the thin, poor chain,
And toss it down! My life’s whole glory there
Lies rolled in dust. Then go! But, going, bear
My curse with you—the knowledge for whose sake
You scorn me, never, never shali you make
Your own! Mechanic porter,’ you shall bring

Play this article
I’m trying to learn to test in javascript, today we have few ways to test our code write plain test code or using mocha, jest or cypress.
But what is a Test? the test is a piece of code that ensures our software works as we expect, it can be done without frameworks.
Feel free to read the code on Github or continue reading.
For this example, we will test a function for calculating IVA Tax of 21% from a single amount. the first step is to create a file iva.js and write the ivaCalculate function and export it.
function ivaCalculate(amount, percentage) {
return amount \* percentage / 100
}
module.exports = ivaCalculate
I will use nodemon package to run my js code quick and hot reload.
npm install -g nodemon
The Test
Our second step is to create a spec file for our testing, the iva.spec.js file, import Iva.js using require and call the duction passing the parameters 1250 and 21, it will return the calculation from the function defined into the iva.js.
Validate the result === expect using a ternary and show a message is equal or not.
const irpfCal = require('./iva');
const result = irpfCal(1250,21);
const expect = 262.5;
result === expect ? console.log("ok") : console.log("fail")
From our terminal run to see the result of our “handy and dirty test”.
danys-imac:iva danyparedes$ nodemon iva.spec
[nodemon] 1.19.0
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter \`rs\`
[nodemon] watching: \*.\*
[nodemon] starting \`node iva.spec.js\`
ok
[nodemon] clean exit - waiting for changes before restart
Using the Assert Module
We are using a dump ternary function to validate our code, but nodejs bring with a module to handle these situations.
In our code, import assert module and it will provide a list of assert methods, I use equal, it does the same behavior as our preview code.
The equal function evaluates if two values are not equal and if fails it throws an error and an optional message parameter for specifies the error.
const assert = require('assert');
const irpfCal = require('./iva');
const result = irpfCal(1250,21)
const expect = 262.5
assert.equal(result, expect, 'irpf calculation fails')
Our code will be reloaded by nodemon and it will not show any error but if we modify irpfCal function it will show irpf calculation fails.
Move to Mocha
Our test works, but it is not easy to manage or provide an elegant way to see the results, for this case Mocha come to help us.
Mocha is a test runner, it will help to manage our test easier and it provides an elegant way to write, check and functions to evaluate our test.
First, install mocha test runner for our terminal in the same path.
npm install mocha --save-dev
When complete, edit the package.json and into the script area set tests to mocha.
...
"scripts": {
"test": "mocha"
}
..
By convention mocha search into test directory into our application, that means we need to create a test directory and move iva.spec.js file into it.
Mocha provides few global functions as describe it is used for the title of our group of tests, that means we can group few tests into a describe block and it for setting the title for a specific test.
const assert = require('assert');
const irpfCal = require('../iva');
const actual = irpfCal(1250,21)
const expect = 262.5describe('IVA tax calculation processs', () => {
it('calculate 15% of 1250', () => {
assert.equal(actual,expect)
})
})
See the test results in the terminal running the command npm test
npm test
danys-imac:iva danyparedes$ npm test\> iva@1.0.0 test /Users/danyparedes/Desktop/testing/iva
> mocha
IVA tax calculation processs
✓ calculate 15% of 1250
1 passing (3ms)
Extending the test
Create another function for the test, it will call amountWithIVA, add the function into iva.js and include it into the exports.
function ivaCalculate(amount, percentage) {
return amount \* percentage / 100
}function amountWithIVA(ivaAmount, amount) {
return ivaAmount + amount;
}module.exports = { ivaCalculate, amountWithIVA }
I will group my set of test related to the iva into the describe IVA tax calculation and like the preview test it will call the function exposed by iva.js
const assert = require('assert');
const {ivaCalculate, amountWithIVA} = require('../iva');describe('IVA tax calculation processs', () => {
it('calculate 15% of 1250', () => {
const actual = ivaCalculate(1250,21)
const expect = 262.5
assert.equal(actual,expect)
})
it('calculate total amount of 1250,21 with 15% IVA', () => {
const actual = amountWithIVA(1250,262.5)
const expect = 1512.50
assert.equal(actual,expect)
})
})
Run the test from the terminal with npm test and see the results.
danys-imac:iva danyparedes$ npm test
> iva@1.0.0 test /Users/danyparedes/Desktop/testing/iva
> mocha
IVA tax calculation processs
✓ calculate 15% of 1250
✓ calculate total amount of 1250,21 with 15% IVA
2 passing (5ms)
Testing objects
My last example is a function to get a banner configuration for each IVA type, it returns an object with some settings, I will create a new file ads.js with the function getIVABanner it will return a json object.
function getIVABanner(amount) {
switch (amount) {
case 15:
return {
img: '/bar.jpg',
size: '15%',
border: 3,
color: 'green'
}
break;
case 20:
return {
img: '/bar.jpg',
size: '20%',
border: 5,
color: 'yellow'
}
break;
case 30:
return {
img: '/bar.jpg',
size: '20%',
border: 5,
color: 'red'
}
default:
break;
}
}
module.exports = { getIVABanner }
Next into the test directory create ads.spec.js , similar to iva.spec import assert from assert and gitIVABanner function from ads, using describe and to group all test related to ads for taxes.
Create the actual object calling getIVABanner function and pass 15 Tax type and define the expected object.
But in for the object, we will use assert.deepEqual to validate the actual match fully with the expected.
const assert = require('assert');
const {getIVABanner} = require('../ads');describe('Ads for taxes', () => {
it('Get green banner for 15% IVA', () => {
const actual = getIVABanner(15);
const expect = {
img: '/bar.jpg',
size: '15%',
border: 3,
color: 'green'
}
assert.deepEqual(actual,expect)
})
})
Run the npm test command to see the results.
danys-imac:iva danyparedes$ npm test
> iva@1.0.0 test /Users/danyparedes/Desktop/testing/iva
> mocha
Ads for taxes
✓ Get green banner for 15% IVA
IVA tax calculation processs
✓ calculate 15% of 1250
✓ calculate the total amount of 1250,21 with 15% IVA
3 passing (7ms)
That’s it!
Hopefully, that will give you a bit of a head-start on testing and Mocha, and help you avoid some of the more common mistakes, If you enjoyed this post, share it.
Thanks for reading!

Genetic Health Overview
Have you ever wondered why your eyes and hair are a certain color? Or why you grew to a certain height, and then you stopped? Our traits are determined by our genetic information, which is passed on to us from both of our parents. Every person has a unique set of genes, which is what makes us all so different. Genes play a factor in countless aspects of your physical characteristics, your personality, and your health.
DNA and Genes
Each of our cells houses a nucleus that contains all of our genetic information. We inherit 23 pairs of chromosomes from our parents. Each chromosome is made up of DNA molecules. DNA is composed of a string of four types of nucleotides:
• adenine (A)
• cytosine (C)
• guanine (G)
• thymine (T).
DNA is a double-stranded molecule in the shape of a “double helix”. Each nucleotide on a strand pairs with its partner nucleotide on the opposite strand. A always pairs with T, and C always pairs with G. DNA is the building block of human genetics, and makes each of us unique.
Individual segments of DNA make up our genes. Genes are often called the “blueprint for life,” since they tell each of our cells what to do. They also dictate our traits, such as eye color, height and skin pigmentation. Genes perform by telling a cell how to make proteins, which in turn tell our bodies how to function.
Understanding Inheritance
We inherit two copies of every gene from our parents — one copy from our mother and one copy from our father. These genes combine to make us unique. Our traits depend on the types of genes we inherit from our parents:
• Dominant and Recessive Genes: Some genes are dominant, while others are recessive. If one parent passes on a dominant gene, and the other parent passes on a recessive gene, the dominant trait will overrule the recessive one. For example, if one parent has brown eyes (a dominant trait) and the other parent has green eyes (a recessive trait), their child will inherit the dominant trait and have brown eyes. The child would need to receive two genes for green eyes (or green eyes and another recessive eye-color trait) in order to inherit green eyes himself.
• Co-Dominant Genes: Other genes are co-dominant, meaning neither is stronger than the other. An example of this is blood type. If one parent has Type A blood and the other parent has Type B blood, their child will have Type AB blood.
• Polygenic Traits: Several traits are known as “polygenic.” This means that a variety of genes contribute to this particular trait. Skin color is one polygenic trait. Polygenic inheritance may also be responsible for some diseases, such as cancer or heart disease.
Genetic Mutations
DNA is constantly replicating itself. Usually it is a perfect system, but mistakes sometimes occur during replication, causing a genetic mutation. Some mutations happen spontaneously when DNA replicates itself during cell division. Others are brought about by outside forces, such as:
• chemicals
• environmental factors
• UV radiation
• viruses.
Some mutations are useful, leading to genetic diversity and keeping us healthy. Others have absolutely no effect at all. But some mutations can lead to diseases and genetic disorders, including:
• cancer
• color blindness
• cystic fibrosis
• sickle-cell anemia
• Tay-Sachs disease.
Most inherited mutations are recessive. This means that a person will not have a disease like sickle-cell anemia unless he inherits two copies of the mutation that causes the disease. If a person receives only one copy, he becomes a carrier of that mutation. He runs a risk of passing the disorder on to his children, but he will not display the symptoms of the disease himself.
Genetic Testing
DNA testing is becoming an increasingly popular option among prospective parents. Genetic counselors can test for a wide variety of inherited diseases and advise parents on the health risks their offspring could face.
Adults can also use DNA testing to identify adult-onset genetic disorders and risks. Some of the genetic diseases DNA testing can trace include:
• cancer
• cystic fibrosis
• Down syndrome
• fragile-x syndrome
• hemophilia
• Huntington’s disease
• Lou Gehrig’s disease
• neurofibromatosis
• muscular dystrophy
• sickle-cell anemia
• Tay-Sachs disease.
Genetic testing is painless and involves screening a cell sample — usually taken from the inside of the cheek, or in the case of a fetus, from the womb. Health care providers often offer genetic counseling to help parents make informed decisions about conceiving.
For adults, DNA test results can encourage steps to delay the onset of a disorder or even prevent the disease entirely. For example, if a person finds out that he has a high genetic risk of developing heart disease, he can increase his exercise level, watch what he eats and seek treatment from his doctor to help prevent the disease from occurring.

Insights for Balanced Nutrition Success
Introduction
Achieving balanced nutrition is essential for overall health and well-being. It involves making informed choices about the foods we eat to ensure our bodies receive the necessary nutrients. In this article, we’ll explore key insights that can guide you towards success in maintaining a well-balanced and nutritious diet.
Understanding Nutrient-Rich Foods
The foundation of balanced nutrition lies in consuming nutrient-rich foods. These foods provide essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients crucial for various bodily functions. Focus on incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats into your daily meals to ensure a diverse nutrient intake.
Portion Control and Moderation
Balanced nutrition is not just about what you eat but also how much you eat. Practice portion control to avoid overeating and promote a healthy weight. Be mindful of portion sizes, and listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues. Eating in moderation allows you to enjoy a wide range of foods without compromising your nutritional goals.
Hydration’s Role in Balanced Nutrition
Water is a fundamental component of balanced nutrition. Staying hydrated is essential for various bodily functions, including digestion, nutrient absorption, and temperature regulation. Make water your primary beverage and limit the consumption of sugary drinks. Pay attention to your body’s thirst signals and ensure you’re adequately hydrated throughout the day.
The Importance of Macronutrients
Macronutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—are essential for providing energy and supporting bodily functions. Understanding the role of each macronutrient is crucial for balanced nutrition. Strive for a well-rounded diet that includes complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats in appropriate proportions.
See also Optimizing Health with Balanced Nutrition Strategies
Incorporating Dietary Fiber for Digestive Health
Dietary fiber plays a vital role in digestive health. It aids in digestion, promotes a feeling of fullness, and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Include fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes in your diet to support a healthy digestive system.
Balancing Nutrient Intake Across Meals
Distribute your nutrient intake evenly across meals to maintain energy levels throughout the day. Avoid skipping meals, especially breakfast, as it jumpstarts your metabolism. Aim for a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in each meal to provide sustained energy and prevent energy crashes.
Mindful Eating Practices
Practicing mindful eating involves being fully present during meals, paying attention to taste, texture, and hunger cues. Avoid distractions like screens while eating and savor each bite. Mindful eating fosters a healthy relationship with food, prevents overeating, and allows you to enjoy meals with greater satisfaction.
Listening to Your Body’s Signals
Balanced nutrition involves tuning in to your body’s signals and responding appropriately. Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re satisfied. Learn to differentiate between emotional hunger and physical hunger, and address emotional needs without relying on food.
Adapting Nutrition to Individual Needs
Every individual has unique nutritional needs based on factors like age, activity level, and health conditions. Consider consulting with a registered dietitian or nutritionist to tailor your nutrition plan to your specific requirements. Personalized guidance ensures that you meet your nutritional goals effectively.
Conclusion
In conclusion, achieving balanced nutrition is a journey that involves making mindful choices about the foods you consume. By understanding nutrient-rich foods, practicing portion control, staying hydrated, focusing on macronutrients, and adopting mindful eating practices, you can lay the foundation for a healthy and balanced diet.

Isochronic tones work by influencing your brainwave activity and they can’t directly affect the body. That said, the brain does control the body, so sensations and feelings can sometimes be felt in the body after stimulating your brainwave activity. Some people who are new listeners of this type of audio can sometimes feel tingling sensations in their body. Not everyone feels this and these sensations usually stop once you get more used to using the audios. Isochronic tones are considered as a safe technology. However, sometimes they can leave you feeling temporarily fatigued, especially if you listen to them for an extended period (hours) when you first start using them. If you felt fatigued, I would recommend using them for a much shorter period while you are getting used to them and ensure you are well-hydrated.
You’ve heard me talk before about how sound can make a difference to sleep. Patients often tell me that they fall asleep to relaxing music, they seem to find it really helps them let go of active thoughts and quiet their mind—which, like yours probably does, tends to race from one thing to the next all day long (aka I can’t turn off my brain syndrome).
Binaural beats are an auditory illusion where two oscillators, slightly detuned from each other, are played simultaneously with one perceived by each ear. The human brain mixes the audio from each ear, and the listener perceives a "beating" effect that isn't actually there. This is a well-studied phenomenon that has gained the interest of audiologists and neurologists, but it's most famous for being picked up by the alternative medicine community as a way to get high.
Listening to brainwave entrainment music will provide you with the benefits of a formal meditation practice. It will improve your mental clarity, your creativity and your ability to learn and to concentrate. It will bring you peace of mind and emotional stability. It is also one of the most powerful natural ways to cure insomnia and can dramatically improve the quality of your sleep.
Cortisol is the principle hormone (although not the only hormone) tied to our innate “flight-or-fight” response, which is how the body reacts to acute stress by either helping us run from the situation or stick around and fight our way through. When short spikes in cortisol/adrenaline happen over and over again nearly every day, they cause wear and tear on the body and speed up the aging process.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE • Exercise can be an effective component of a stress management program, and all types of exercise can be beneficial for stress management. Exercise programs consistent with the current recommendations to improve health can be prescribed to manage stress. Fitness professionals should recognize that it might be necessary to refer a client to a psychologist or other health care provider to help develop strategies for managing stressors that produce chronic and acute episodic stress.
As a trader, having focus is not a luxury, it’s a necessity for making the best decisions under pressure. The music and meditations allow me to bring my best game each and every day. I am more tuned into work for longer and better and with a steady energy and calmness. I am also a writer with a fairly high demand on output meaning I need to get a quality 700 to 1800 words of analysis created daily. And again I rely on TrypnauralMediations.com to put my mind at it' most clear and creative. It delivers every time.
The Delta brainwave is experienced by us every night in dreamless sleep. It is also experienced by advanced yogis and monks who can enter the Delta frequency during deep meditation. This frequency assists in both emotional and physical healing, as well as enhanced immune functioning, significant stress reduction, and even anti-aging benefits. The Delta frequency is a terrific way to experience deep repair on the physical, emotional, and psychological levels.

Basically, "two ears." One usage of the word is "binaural recording," which is a form of stereo recording meant to take advantage of the spatial perception of the human ear. Recordings are usually done using a pair of microphones mounted to a dummy head with roughly accurate models of the human outer ear, and the result when played back through headphones is extremely realistic and comparable to surround sound, though following an entirely different recording model. Binaural recordings aren't woo at all, and have nothing to do with binaural beats.[citation needed]
When the track is over you can continue to meditate without the help of the entrainment track. When you are ready to get up, thank your Higher Self for the experience and remove your blindfold, keeping your eyes closed. Stay seated with your eyes closed for a few moments, then slowly open them and take a moment to let your eyes adjust to your environment’s light.
Delta (3hz – 0.2hz) – Deep, dreamless sleep. Intuition. Empathy. Brainwave expert Judith Pennington calls it the doorway to Universal Consciousness and “A radar that scans the environment and psychically picks up information and energy.” According to British physicist C. Maxwell Cade “There have been reports that delta waves appear at the onset of paranormal phenomena.” (More information can be found in Cade’s book The Awakened Mind)
By exposing an individual to repeatedly external stimulus which can be flashing lights and/or recurring sounds, the entrainment process consists in pushing the brain to adjust to match the frequency provided. Unlike other forms of neurotherapy which require the individual to actively respond to stimulus, entrainment creates an immediate neurophysical response which is instinctive and effortless for the person being provided with the light and/or sound combinations. The key outcome of the sensory stimulation is known as the ‘Frequency Following Response’.
Your brain operates at certain levels of activity – the normal waking, active Beta, the meditative Alpha, the asleep-and-dreaming or deep meditative Theta, and the deep sleep/unconscious Delta. Beta is characterized by one thing we all want to get away from – stress.But that brainwave state has its place. It’s the action mode, and that’s the way it should be! If we’re not alert when we’re awake, bad things can happen, right?

Bagalamukhi Temple, Nalkheda
The Bagalamukhi Temple, Nalkheda is located on the banks of the Lakhundar River, a tributary of the Narmada River, in Nalkheda, a town in the Agar Malwa district of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is dedicated to the goddess Bagalamukhi, a devi of the Hindu religion and one of the ten Mahavidyas. She is associated with the colour yellow.
History
The temple is popular at the time of the Navaratri festival. It is one of three in India noted historically as having shrines to Bagalamukhi, the others being in Datia and Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. It was restored in 1815.
The brother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi chanted at the temple during the Lok Sabha elections. Other visitors over the years have included Bharatiya Janta Party MP Jagdambika Pal and MP Digvijaya Singh. P. C. Sharma visited the temple in March 2020.
Architecture
The unique feature of the temple is the triad, with Bagalamukhi central, and as an aspect of Parvati, between Lakshmi and Saraswati. There are also statues of Krishna, Hanuman and Bhairav at the temple. | WIKI |
George Walton (cricketer)
George Walton (3 December 1863 – 30 June 1921) was an English cricketer. Walton was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast-medium. He was born at Belgrave, Leicestershire.
Walton made his first-class debut for Leicestershire against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1894 at Lord's. He made seven further first-class appearances for Leicestershire in 1894, with his final first-class appearance coming against Nottinghamshire in the 1895 County Championship. In nine matches, he scored a total of 88 runs at an average of 6.76, with a high score of 24, while with the ball he took 17 wickets at a bowling average of 24.94, with best figures of 4/64.
He died at the place of his birth on 30 June 1921. | WIKI |
Steyr IWS 2000
The Steyr IWS 2000 is an Austrian Single-shot Bolt-action anti-materiel rifle produced by Steyr Mannlicher. IWS stands for Infantry Weapon System. Like many modern anti-tank rifles, and indeed also modern tank guns, it is actually a smoothbore weapon and not a true rifle. This can help accelerate projectiles and increase ballistic effectiveness, but the lack of rifling imparting an inertial stability requires the projectile have stabilizing fins. It fires a 15.2×169mm armor-piercing, fin-stabilized discarding sabot round (207 mm long), and is the first man-portable rifle to use this type of ammunition.

Sights10x Telescopic sight
The first variant of the weapon was the proposed AMR 5075. AMR stands for Anti-Materiel Rifle. It is proposed to use the same ammunition type as IWS 2000 and it use 5-Round detachable box magazine. However this variant doesn't pass the proposal stage.
Mechanism
The weapon is based on a 25 cm (9 34 in) long recoil mechanism. This mechanism, usually found in shotguns, helps manage the heavy recoil forces of the 15.2 mm Steyr APFSDS round due to its damping effect that allows for force distribution over a longer period of time. Another unusual feature of this weapon is the movement of the barrel. After firing, the barrel recoils into a shock-absorbing hydro-pneumatic sleeve much like those found on a LG 1 Mark II 105 mm Howitzer. The IWS 2000 also uses a multi-baffle muzzle brake to distribute muzzle energy and further reduce recoil, similar to the ones used on D-30 2A18M 122 mm Towed Howitzers. The entire rifle body is made up of a combination of high-tension plastics and superlight polymers to increase manageability and cut down on weight. The smoothbore barrel is easily detached and packed away for increased mobility. The APFSDS round is inserted from the side of the weapon, much like usual Single-shot rifles.
Ammunition
The projectile is a 15.2 mm fin-stabilized discarding-sabot type with armor-piercing capability which the IWS 2000 was specifically designed to fire. It contains a dart-shaped penetrator of either tungsten carbide or depleted uranium, capable of piercing 40 mm[1] of rolled homogeneous armor at a range of 1,000 m, and causing secondary fragmentation. The cartridge consists of a plastic case, a steel head, and a plastic sabot shell around the penetrator.

Apparently for months now, some process has been creating an empty .svg file in /tmp every minute and leaving it there. I now have 43,000 of these 262 byte files accumulated. I could just periodically delete them, but it'd be great if I could find the cause and even prevent it.
Does anyone know what this might be, or how to find out? I'd rather not try to figure out how to remount /tmp on a separate filesystem, like in this answer, and auditctl hasn't worked for me. Short of these methods, am I left with running lsof in a loop? It hasn't yielded anything yet.
Here's the contents of the .svg (it's always the same):
$ cat /tmp/tmpuo80js2t.svg
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><svg id="empty" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="22" width="1" version="1.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"></svg>
Update: The filename pattern is /tmp/tmp????????.svg. Some examples:
/tmp/tmpsxzk1ktl.svg
/tmp/tmpti2by97z.svg
/tmp/tmp0woym_0_.svg

First thing comes to mind is to check if there's a pattern in the date of creation of a file. Then try to use one of the tools you've tried earlier at the time next file is created. – schrodigerscatcuriosity Jul 4 '19 at 19:03
• is there a pattern to the file names? – jsotola Jul 4 '19 at 19:18
• Hopefully you're running your tasks under non-privileged accounts. Does the owner of the files lend any clues to which process is creating them? – Jim L. Jul 4 '19 at 22:00

Okay, so it turns out I wasn't understanding auditctl correctly. I was able to use it to track down the culprit.
It turns out it was indicator-sysmonitor. It dies periodically on Ubuntu, so I'd wrapped it in a script which restarts it every minute. I assume it only creates this file on startup, and perhaps the way I kill it doesn't give it a chance to clean up. (I'll assume the error was on my part rather than it failing to clean up after itself.)
For posterity, here's how I tracked it down.
First, I started auditd watching /tmp:
$ sudo auditctl -w /tmp
Then, after it's been watching long enough to log the creation of one of the files, I picked the most recent one and searched the logs for it:
$ ls -lt /tmp/tmp*.svg | head -n 1
-rw------- 1 me me 262 Jul 5 13:42 /tmp/tmp4i0zh3mj.svg
$ ausearch -i -f /tmp/tmp4i0zh3mj.svg
The output contains a number of entries by several processes, but only one whose nametype is CREATE. The command (proctitle) of that one was /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/indicator-sysmonitor.

I've been wondering why this shows up for me and I've noticed this the whole time I've been here but haven't mentioned it until now.
I noticed it today on Cody Tripp's song .. the title:
I Will Never Drink Your Witch's Brew
Somehow the simple ' apostrophe gets replaced with all those other characters and numbers ... it should have been Witch's not Witch's
I've been avoiding using the apostrophe in titles just because that happens.
Or perhaps no one else can see what I am seeing? Someone let me know!!

thats one of those bugs...
It shall be gone after the update, and might as well have a run thru the database and fix it on old titles as well.
It has to do with the apostrophe being a very commonly used thing in code language, mostly indicating things like "And here the text ends, and the code starts" -
as you may imagine, I need to prevent the server from believing the post-' text of your title was some kind of code to interpret, which is why apostrophes need to be replaced by something else, in this case by ' , which is another way of writing ' . However, if you edit these titles, the already converted character gets converted a second time, leading to the described issue. I'll fix it...

As Dick said, in code single and double quotes (depending on the language) denote strings of text to the source code. This is especially true of the SQL language which is used to interact with the majority of database engines. Failure to handle these quotes (called 'escaping' ) can result in making it remarkably easy for a hack known as 'SQL injection' allowing an attacker to effectively query the internals of your database from your website via any form which doesn't process quotes properly! You'll be surprised how many websites out there are still susceptible to this very well known attack vector, all due to poor or lazy programming practices.
The fact this bug appears, despite being a bit annoying, is to me a very good sign that Dick takes Wikiloops' security seriously!

The Benefits of Surplus Electric Motors
Having a surplus electric motor typically saves you tons of dough
Surplus Electric Motors
You’ve got to make a decision right away on what you’re going to do about that electric motor that failed. From what you understand, you could invest in a brand new motor or find a surplus motor. Which one is the best option in terms of, not just money but, lead time and reliability? We’ve got the information you need to make a wise decision!
What is a Surplus Electric Motor?
In a nutshell, a surplus electric motor is a used motor. Purchasing a surplus electric motor is an alternative to purchasing a new one or repairing an existing one.
Benefits of Purchasing a Surplus Motor
The first and most obvious benefit of investing in a surplus motor as opposed to a new motor is cost: surplus motors are going to be significantly cheaper (usually on the order of 30%) because they are used. However, that is far from the only benefit.
• You can often get warranties that either match or exceed those available with new builds because of the quality with which a surplus motor has been refurbished
• You can find motors that are either an exact or very close match, both mechanically and electrically, to what you need to replace
• Compared to new motor builds, a surplus motor can be obtained in a fraction of the time (on the order of days rather than months) which dramatically reduces your downtime
• You can get a surplus motor customized to fit your particular application
• The lead time for a surplus motor, even if it isn’t being compared to a new build, is much shorter than new motors that your local shop may not have in stock
• If you have a hard-to-find vintage motor (perhaps one that isn’t even being manufactured anymore) then a surplus motor may be your very best option
Ways to Purchase a Surplus Motor
There are a few different ways that you can go about purchasing a surplus motor. They are as-is, e-ok, and remanufactured and guaranteed.
As-Is Surplus Motor
This is your least expensive option, but you have to remember that you are purchasing the motor as is. There is usually no warranty involved and no assurances other than how it has been described. It is generally recommended that any motor purchased in as is condition be taken to a qualified motor shop for inspection and repair . You could invest in an as-is surplus motor while you wait for a brand new one to arrive or be built.
E-Ok Surplus Motors
When investing in an E-Ok surplus motor, that means you are assuming that the motor has been tested to demonstrate that it works at least from an electrical standpoint (hence the “E”). It is generally assumed that motors sold in E-Ok condition will be taken to a motor shop for re-conditioning but will not require a rewind to operate.
Remanufactured and Guaranteed
Of the options discussed thus far, this is the most expensive but far less risky to invest in. A reconditioned motor has been thoroughly cleaned, had its electrical performance tested, and is in good condition mechanically. With the purchase of the motor, the user will get a warranty that the motor will operate satisfactorily for a certain length of time.
Older Motor Designs vs Newer Motor Designs
When considering whether you should invest in an older surplus motor, another consideration is how older motors differ from new motor designs. You might find that an older motor repurposed for your application is a better way to go compared to purchasing a brand new one.
Older Electric Motors Are Heavy and Rugged
First, keep in mind that older motors were designed to last 25 to 35 years while newer motors aren’t really expected to last much beyond 15 to 20 years. The older motors, because they were designed to last so long, are heavier and less compact than modern designs -- and they may be less efficient, depending on the intended application.
Older Electric Motors Are Far More Versatile
On the other hand, modern electric motors are usually designed for very specific purposes while older motors were more general purpose, which means they can be easily adapted for a wider variety of applications and are much more versatile. That also means that you might be able to purchase a less expensive older motor, have it refurbished and customized to your application, and save a significant amount of money in the process.
Conclusion
Depending on your needs and budget, a surplus motor may be the right choice for you. At HECO, we have a large inventory of surplus electric motors available, ranging from as-is options to high quality rebuilt surplus motors and from sizes starting at 1 HP all the way up to 10,000 HP. Our experts can advise you on what is available and what your options are. You can also find out more about our warranties related to various grades of surplus motors we sell.
HECO can also customize surplus motors for your application at competitive prices with a very fast turnaround. If you are interested in finding out about available surplus motors, or perhaps you have some used electric motors to sell, contact us today. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Elton Watkins, of Portland, Or., for appellee.
Before WILBUR, DENMANj and HANEY, Circuit Judges.
WILBUR, Circuit Judge.
This is an action commenced December 4, 1931, upon a war risk insurance policy which expired May 31, 1919. Plaintiff alleged that he became totally and permanently disabled while the policy was still in force by reason of arthritis of the spine, knees, and shoulders, and from a back injury caused by high explosives. The jury found in favor of the plaintiff, and the government appeals, assigning error in the failure of the court to grant its motion for a directed verdict. That at the time of the trial October 22, 1934, the plaintiff was totally and permanently disabled there is little doubt. That he was seriously injured in battle July 26, 1918, by the explosion of an enemy shell within a few feet of him, is established. Later he suffered a head injury in battle. It is claimed that his present disability is due to these injuries. Assuming this to be true, the question for our consideration is whether or not there is substantial evidence that on May 31, 1919, he was totally disabled and that it was reasonably certain that such condition would be permanent. The plaintiff testified, in part, as follows:
“After getting out of the hospital, I went back to St. Avignon — then went back to my outfit. After about two or three weeks, I got to feeling bad in my back and they sent me to the hospital and taped me from my arms down and I had tape on when they sent me back to the station. After that I couldn’t stand the work like I could before. I had to ask the ambulance to help me, and the boys part of the time. My back bothered me then.
“After that I was wounded in the head, in the back part of the head. It was the same year. I was taken to the field hospital and remained about a week. Then I returned to duty and stayed with the outfit three days before the armistice was signed. That was in November. None of the" places in my back was a wound.
“From France I was sent to Coblenz, Germany. I stayed there about a month and a half. My back was still bothering me. That was the last time I was in a hospital in France or Germany. From that hospital I went to the Seventh Army Headquarters and there I was told that if I would take an orderly job, I could ride through Germany, which I did. I rode from France to Coblenz, Germany and stayed there about three months. While there I had trouble with my back. I had to climb up the steps there in the hotel. My duty was to wait on. the door and to wait on the General and lots of men, and I would catch cold and it was damp and it got in my back which got worse, and I would hardly be' able to pull myself up there. I would get up the steps when they would ask me, but it was all I could do. From there I went back to the United States. * * *
“Before leaving France, I had rheumatism. It was in the back and in the hips, and in my arms. When I would have a bad spell, I would use crutches and could hardly go, but that didn’t last so long. I was discharged at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming.”
On April 3, 1919, the plaintiff certified that he had no reason to believe that he was suffering from any disability or impairment of health. , On the same day a member of the medical corps certified that he had given plaintiff a careful, physical examination and found that he was physically and mentally sound and that, “In view of occupation he was no per cent disabled.” Two physicians testified for the plaintiff. They had examined him in September, 1934, about one month before the trial. Both of them related the present condition of the plaintiff to the injuries received in battle. Neither testified as to his ability to work on or before May 31, 1919. The nearest approach to that period was the testimony of Dr. Robert T. Smith, as follows:
“ * * * He had a concussion, — probably a contusion, for this record shows a direct injury to the spine. He had a concussion probably, a contusion of both his brain and spinal cord. His condition amounted practically to the same thing as an earthquake would affect a building. It strained and injured every joint in his body and although the building or structure was of steel and it stands yet, the joints are so disturbed and so strained that nature began to attempt to repair them by causing an excess deposit of calcium, — it would throw it out, — this calcification would occur like a concrete man would repair damaged joints with concrete. That is exactly what nature was doing, just as a concrete man would repair with concrete a damaged joint. This man has, in addition to his spine, an involvement of his shoulder, and I think it is" his wrist joint, * * */ His shoulder and knee joints.
“Deal also has an old depressed fractured skull. A high explosive wrecks the whole physical structure. Every joint in the body is damaged. Thereafter if the victim attempted to move or work, or apply himself in any way, shape or form, he would experience stiffness and pain and discomfort at all time — even on slight movements. There is rio cure for this condition. He should experience great discomfort, a great amount of pain and limitation of motion to any joint in his body after a high explosion blow.”
The government’s records concerning the plaintiff’s condition were examined by this witness, and were introduced by the plaintiff. The witness made no effort to contradict or explain these records in the light of his evidence upon the effect of á high explosive. They show the injury to plaintiff’s back in July, 1918, and his hospitalization for eighteen days thereafter ; his hospitalization for acute enteritis for fourteen days in October, 1918; and his discharge from the army with no disability. He was examined September 23, 1919, after his policy of insurance had expired, by Dr. Louis J. Wolf and Dr. R. C. Yenney, of the Public Lleal'th Service. Their report states, in part, as follows :
“Present complaint: Back is weak and painful — when he goes to bed after a days work, back continues to pain and' is stiff and sore in morning. Work, such as stooping over is difficult because when coming to erect position considerable discomfort is experienced. Says that occasionally is unable to work.
“Physical examination: Height 5 ft. 10 in.; weight 168. Well developed, well nourished. Head and neck normal— teeth good — tonsils clear — chest well developed — lungs clear — heart regular, no murmurs — abdomen neg. Spinal column: No abnormal curvature, a slight point of tenderness over sacral region. From the examination of this man, the result is negative. From his own history a diagnosis of sprain of back is made.
“Diagnosis: Sprain of back.
“Prognosis: Indefinite.
“Is claimant able to resume former occupation? Yes.
“Do you advise it? Yes. Is claimant bedridden? No.”
He was again examined January 7, 1920, by Dr. Dwight F. Miller. His report is, in part as follows:
“Present complaint: Back is weak, pains, bothers him at time he tries to sleep. He cannot lift or do days work.
“Physical examination: Height: 70¼ in.; weight 167 lbs. Sight negative.
“Diagnosis: Sprain of back. Prognosis : Good.
“Is claimant able to resume former occupation? Yes.
“Do you advise it? Yes. Is claimant bedridden ? No.”
He expressed the opinion that the plaintiff’s disability was temporary and minor, and that there was no vocational handicap.
In May, 1920, the plaintiff was examined by Dr. Victor H. Lemeaux, who certified that plaintiff was unable to resume former occupation; that the prognosis was good; that plaintiff was advised to avoid heavy lifting.
On October 29, 1920, Dr. A. J. Peal examined plaintiff for the Public Health Service. He certified to the plaintiff’s complaints of a lame back, and to frequent attacks of rheumatism. He expressed the opinion that the .plaintiff was able to resume ■his former occupation and that he so ’advised. As the next examination was nearly three years later, we turn to a consideration of other evidence concerning plaintiff’s condition shortly before and after his policy lapsed.
On May 23, 1930, plaintiff made an affidavit for presentation to the Veterans’ Bureau in which he stated: “I worked for myself driving a transfer truck from 1919 to the summer of 1921; from the summer of 1921 to about the first of the year 1922, I worked for Virgil Staples as a farm hand at Ontario, Oregon.” In May (year not stated) the plaintiff certified to Veterans’ Administration that he worked as a contractor from May, 1919, to December, 1922; that he worked as a logger at $7.50 per day from January to May, 1922, and as a sawyer at $4 per day from September, 1922, to September, 1923. On May 16, 1930, plaintiff wrote the Veterans’ Administration for a more favorable compensable rating from March, 1921, to March, 1927, stating: “I believe my condition during this period was at least ten per cent (10%) disability. * * * I further believe that the examination made in 1923 should show a condition of the spine of at least ten per cent (10%), as at this time I was suffering with back trouble, wearing a belt to support back.” With reference to plaintiff’s work from in 1919 to the summer of 1921 plaintiff testified as follows:
“When I returned from the war my first work was in the trucking business. I had a couple of men hired to drive for me. The business was between Rainier and Portland. My work was to manage the business. I couldn’t stand it to drive a truck, it would shake my back so bad. It bothered my back and hips. I had two trucks and a man for each truck. * * *
“I don’t know how long I was in the trucking business. Part of the time I had two trucks and part of the time three trucks — two men working with me when I had two trucks. I didn’t run a regular truck line between two points. It was just a transfer business. Part of the time I had an office where people could call on me, in my brother’s shoe shop. One of the trucks was a light Ford truck. I did not at any time haul logs. That continued for about a year. During that time I built up my business so that I improved my financial ability to procure another truck. It might have improved me to thi.s extent that I had' to quit and go into bankruptcy. I bought the second truck with my note, but I couldn’t pay the note. He got his truck back. I gave up this business because I wasn’t able to attend to it. I lost it and had to go through bankruptcy. I got nothing for my business. Business conditions were good in Rainier at the time, as I recall it. I had to go about day and night, and I wasn’t able to attend to the business I had. There was plenty of business if I could have attended to it. * * * If I had made substantial amounts of money, I would not have gone into bankruptcy.”
Plaintiff testified that he secured a job as choke setter and hook tender for th.e Koster Products Company at $6- per day. He did not remember the date of his employment, but his affidavit filed with the Veterans’ Administration in 1930 fixed the date as December, 1923. With reference to his physical condition at that time he testified as follows:
“The work for the Koster Products Company lasted about three weeks and I was discharged. My pay was $6.00 per day. It was in the logging business. I was supposed to be cutting chokers and one time was hook tender. * * *
“I worked at this job as a choke setter before the war and knew that it was a job requiring great physical activity. It is also a dangerous job because it requires one to move about rapidly. I felt that I could handle the job when I took it or that I had to try it anyway. I don’t know whether I thought I was totally disabled at the time I undertook this choke setting work in the woods or not, but I know I had some awful pains from that rheumatism. I was in hopes it would get better. If I had thought at that time I was totally disabled, I would have started my suit right away, but I didn’t know whether I would get better but I thought it might get better.”
He further testified: “I had not corresponded with the government about insurance or had any transactions with the government about insurance at this time. Not until I filed suit against them. I began to think of this suit against the government a few days before I filed the suit. The pains I had in my back made me think of filing suit. I read about it in the newspaper and saw I wasn’t going to get any better. The doctors told me there wasn’t any cure for me, so I proceeded to see my lawyer about it and filed suit.”
Plaintiff testified that he worked continuously for two years: "The longest job I had was with the M,enefee Lumber Company for something like a year. It might have been a little over that or might not have been so much. I also worked for the Beaver Lumber Company about the same length of time. The first real job I had was with that company, where I worked on the edger, picking off lumber from it.”
This work record is conclusive against the plaintiff unless it can be shown, as in tubercular and heart cases, that such work imperiled his health. There is no attempt to make any such showing. The plaintiff testified that he suffered great pain when he worked, and that he used aspirin, heat, and moonshine whisky to allay his pain; but it is established that the fact that work always causes pain is not proof of total disability. U. S. v. Kerr (C.C.A.) 61 F.(2d) 800; U. S. v. McCreary (C.C.A.) 61 F.(2d) 804. Neither is the fact that his first year’s work resulted in bankruptcy sufficient to negative the fact that he worked, and was able to work, in a substantially gainful employment. Plaintiff testified that he strove to overcome his handicaps of pain and suffering, and of physical incapacity, because of his desire to support his parents. This is most commendable from every point of view, but is no reason for submitting to a jury the question of whether he was able to do what he had done.
We have so far considered the evidence of conditions nearest to the decisive date of May 31, 1919. Evidence of his subsequent condition and work up to 1934 was introduced, but is only relevant in so far as it tends to show his condition prior to May 31, 1919. We will briefly refer to that evidence, bearing in mind the testimony that arthritis is a progressive disease.
The record shows that this was true in the case of plaintiff. He was examined on August 14, 1923, by Dr. J. L. Scripture at Portland, Or. It was found that plaintiff was wearing a soft leather belt to support his back; that there was evidence of an old chronic arthritis; that he rfras able to resume his prewar occupation of general labor in sawmills. On the next day (August 15, 1923) Dr. A. E. Tamiesie conducted the neuropsychiatric examination. As to the lumbosacral region the doctor stated, in part: “Complains of aching at times and stiffness on extreme flexion. No disorder in locomotion. No paralysis. No atrophy.” He also certified that the plaintiff had no vocational handicap from the neuropsychiatric standpoint. On August 15, 1927, the plaintiff was examined by Dr. M. B. Marcellus and the hospital staff of the United States Veterans’ Hospital prior to an operation for hemorrhoids. He remained in hospital until August 27, 1927, when he was discharged. Prior to his discharge X-rays were taken which showed chronic hypertrophic arthritis mild of the lower lumbar vertebras. “Guarded.” The hoard certified that in their opinion “he has a permanent partial disability on account of No. 2. [arthritis].” On May 23, 24, 1928, it was found that arthritis had “somewhat increased over previous examination. * * * Examination shows moderate limitation of motion of the lumbar spine, with tenderness on deep percussion and some muscle spasm.” Complete rest was recommended.
On July 23, 1929, plaintiff was again examined at the United States Veterans’ Hospital, Portland. It was stated in the report of the examination that: “The X-ray at this exam, demonstrates disease in dorsal spine as well as lumbar, and his condition compared with last exam, is gradually becoming more severe, with more spine involved and this is a marked disability for any manual labor, or long standing or sitting. Diagnosis: Arthritis, chr. hypertrophic, dorsal and lumbar spine marked degree. Disabilities are permanent, Recommend a light Taylor brace without crutch attachments, and if he becomes more disabled after a few years I advise a course of physiotherapy.”
He was again examined May 5, 1930, when it was found that his hack “lately has become progressively more rigid. * * * The lower dorsal and lumbar spine is rigid.”
December 5, 1931, the plaintiff suffered a paralytic stroke. He was hospitalized until January 7, 1932, when he was discharged “improved, apparently recovered.” Before his discharge January 7, 1932, he was again examined by the physicians of the United States Veterans’ Administration. Dr. Geo. E. Pfeiffer certified that: “Dorso lumbar spine almost fixed (80%) * * * Arthritis, multiple, knees and shoulders, subjective, moderately severe.” On April 4, 1932, plaintiff was again examined. Plaintiff stated to examiner: “Since leaving here the arthritis seems to be getting worse. Legs are getting stiff. Right knee and right instep seems to be worse. Am getting arthritis in shoulders and legs now.” The examination shows: “Loss of motion in spine, flexion limited 25% extension, backward motion, limited 25%, but other joints are easily put through flexion and extension to a normal degree. No heat, swelling or redness.”
A year later, March 27, 1933, Dr. Chas. Bloom, consultant of Veterans’ Administration, reported as follows: “Pt. Complains of severe pain in lower dorsal and in lumbar region of spine. There is practically no flexion or rotation of these areas and only very limited lateral bending. There is marked spasticity of the left erector spinse, with somewhat less rigidity of the right. T. 98, P. 80. Diagnosis: Spondylitis, chr. hypertrophic, spine.” From March 3 to 27, 1934, plaintiff was under examination at the United States Veterans’ Hospital at Portland. The report states: “There is less pain now, but limitation is practically the same. His condition is severe of the spine and moderate of the shoulders and knees. It is permanent.”
It is unnecessary to state the plaintiff’s work record other than above. It is substantial. The one physician called as a witness for the government, on cross-examination by plaintiff, testified that in his opinion the plaintiff’s arthritis was not caused by the high explosive “which hurled him twenty feet”; but this is immaterial. There was no substantial evidence that plaintiff was totally disabled on May 31, 1919, and no substantial evidence that such disability as he had was reasonably certain to continue.
The motion to instruct the jury for the defendant should have been granted. For error-in refusing to so instruct the jury the judgment is reversed.
Reversed.
DENMAN, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
In this case there was evidence that the gainful work done by the soldier tended to aggravate a permanent disease, incurable from the beginning. The question of law involved is a very simple one. It is, “whether, where the soldier has an incurable progressive permanent disability arising from a war cause and during the life of his policy, the performance of considerable gainful work during the earlier stages of the disease, establishes his disability as not total, though all such work aggravates the disease and tends to endanger the health and shorten the life of the insured?”
In my opinion the case falls within the language of Justice Butler in Lumbra Case and the decisions of this Circuit and of the Second, Fourth, and Tenth Circuits upon which Justice Butler relies in his summary of the law: “The mere fact that one has done some work after the lapse of his policy is not of itself sufficient to defeat his claim of total permanent disability. He may have worked when really unable and at the risk of endangering his health or life.” (Italics inserted.) Lumbra v. U. S., 290 U.S. 551, 560, 54 S.Ct. 272, 276, 78 L.Ed. 492. Justice Butler cites U. S. v. Lawson (C.C.A.9) 50 F.(2d) 646, 651; Nicolay v. U. S. (C.C.A.10). 51 F.(2d) 170, 173; U. S. v. Phillips (C.C.A.8) 44 F.(2d) 689, 691; U. S. v. Godfrey (C.C.A.2) 47 F.(2d) 126. In each one of these cases there was a work record comparable to that of the soldier here. The language of the specific pages of two of these opinions to which Justice Butler refers is as follows:
“It might be argued that the fact that plaintiff managed to hold several positions for the greater part of the time during the years in question, and actually engaged in work, proves that he was able to work and not totally and permanently disabled. But this does not necessarily follow. It is a matter of common knowledge that many men veork in the stress of circumstances when they should not work at all. When they do that they should not be penalized, rather should they be encouraged.” (Italics inserted.) U. S. v. Lawson (C.C.A.9) 50 F.(2d) 646, 651.
“Again, the word ‘impossible’ must be given a rational meaning; it cannot fairly be said that it is ‘possible’ for an insured to work because, under the stimulus of a strong will power, it is physically possible for him to stick to a task, if the work is done at the risk of substantially aggravating his condition.” (Italics inserted.) Nicolay v. U. S. (C.C.A.) 51 F.(2d) 170, 173.
The holding of these cases is in no wise affected by decisions holding that if the disease is curable there is no permanent disability, even if by working the cure was prevented, such as the recent case in this Circuit of Deadrich v. U. S., 74 F.(2d) 619, 623. There the disease was curable and our court relies on the following: “ '* * * An insured who is suffering from a curable disease cannot through his own neglect and inaction permit the disease to progress to the incurable stage, and then assert a liability on his insurance contract on the ground that the disability was permanent at its inception, without some proof thereof.’ U. S. v. Ivey, 64 F.(2d) 653, 654 (C.C.A.10).”
The case of U. S. v. Spaulding, 293 U.S. 498, 504, 506, 55 S.Ct. 273, 79 L.Ed. 617, asserts as still controlling, the law as above quoted from Lumbra v. U. S. In the Spaulding Case the expert testimony is that Spaulding’s disease was not shown to be incurable at the time he contracted it but, on the contrary, is “that he might have recovered.” (Dr. Bryan, 504). Obviously if he had recovered he could thereafter work as an aviator or at other employment without danger to his health. He therefore did not have permanent disability within the phrase “total and permanent disability.” In Deal’s Case, as stated more fully infra, both physicians testified concerning the gradual calcification of his back: “There is no cure for that condition” (r. 62); “No cases of this kind are curable” (r. 63); “There is no cure for. this condition” (r. 71).
The. soldier’s case is a very plain one of a disease incurable from the beginning, the progress of which he hastened to paralysis by the work he performed. It is that while in war service in France he received an injury to his spine and head, caused by an exploding shell. Later, also in battle, his skull was again injured. As a result there was continuous and permanent inflammation of the vertebral joints, from which calcareous matter was certain to be continuously deposited in the joints until the spine would become, as it practically did, a solid and immovable single calcified structure.
The soldier, not being advised by the government physicians or otherwise of the permanent and dangerous character of his injury,- worked for considerable periods before the solidification of his backbone prevented further effort. His work always caused increased pain at the point of injury, showing that, at the same time, it caused an increase in the permanent inflammation, thus inferably increasing the “danger to his health,” as that term is used1 by the Supreme Court and by this court.
His testimony that ever since his injury, whenever plaintiff endeavored to work he always suffered severe pains in the spinal region is as follows:
“During all that time I was miserable. My feet, legs and back wouldn’t hold up and I had a headache, but I had to keep on working. I was always taking aspirin. I took it all the time. I also heated a' brick to stand on to keep my feet and legs from hurling so. It seemed to ease the pain the same as when I put a hot water bag or electric pad on my back or feet. I also used hot liniment and lots of things when I was working. After working I cotdd go to sleep alright sometimes, but if I twisted myself or turned, I would wake up because my back was so sore. This would start the pain. * * *
“I had fearful pains when I had to stoop over. I used these heat applications pretty often. I took aspirin pretty regular during the year. I couldn’t bend my back. It wasn’t over a month after my discharge. I couldn’t bend my back. I would be walking along without pain and then I would catch my back and would have to stop. These attacks would last an hour or so. My back and other parts of my body were sore. It was miserable. It started out in my lower back and hips, but it went all over my back later. * * *
“Before leaving France, I had rheumatism. It was in the back and in the hips, and in my arms. When I would have a bad spell, I would use crutches and could hardly go, but that didn’t last so long.”
A jury may properly be warned that pain may be simulated. However, in this case, on September 23, 1919, shortly after his policy expired, plaintiff was examined by two government physicians. The pain then suffered by the soldier in his back and hips, as a result of his attempts to work, is found in the following portion of their report: “Present complaint: Back is weak and painful — when he goes to bed after a days work, back continues to pain and is stiff and sore in morning. Work, such as stooping over is difficult because when coming to erect position considerable discomfort is experienced. Says that occasionally is unable to work.”
It is a matter of common knowledge that pain ordinarily accompanies and hence evidences inflammation; and that arthritic calcareous deposits may increase with a use of the infected region causing inflammation. If it were not a matter of common' knowledge, the following from the testimony of Dr. Alan Welch Smith warrants such an inference by the jury:
“In Exhibit B, the government report shows an old proliferitis. That means a throwing out. An extension of an old injury which he has.
“This arthritis which he had would be likely to follow some injury. The indistinct and hazy appearance of the X-ray would indicate an inflammation in that immediate locality. Chronic arthritis is an incurable arthritis, and arthritis is inflammation of the joints. It means inflammation and articulation where two joints join together, and where they gel inflamed in that joint, it is called arthritis. In arthritis the pain is more progressive than in rheumatism.
“In my opinion this injury from which this man is suffering is the direct result of some previous injury or accident. My conclusion is based on the fact that his vertebra below the small of his back shows practically no indication of any arthritis or injury to the vertebrae. Above that, and from that up to the base of his head, including his neck, shows a condition that could lie, in my opinion, only brought about as the result of an injury, because if it had been a general condition, rather than a local condition, the whole body would have been affected and there would have been fine calcareous deposits in other parts of the body. The structure of this man appears to be like a house that has been struck by an earthquake. The house has not fallen but he, the man, is virtually- — but it, the house, is so- shattered. In this case he, the man, is alive, and in it but the average house would be torn down. The experience which he had in the explosion of this shell, having been hurled through the air and having his clothes torn to shreds, probably would set up the destructive reaction which we find in this case — the rigidity of the spine. The pain he suffered could have come from the blow such as the one described which he suffered to his back. His condition is of some long duration. *' * *
“Now you see the narrow spaces between the two vertebrae. That is supposed to be cartilage. It is supposed to be cartilage zohich has virtually absorbed .and that will cause a solidification or rigidity of this spine. There is nothing between that (indicating). It is solid. At this point there is a spear formation, — the formation of a spear on the end of that vertebrae (indicating). Likewise, here and as you see, some of these are narrow,— clearly obliterated, — solid now, probably. Here is this man’s neck. It shows that this condition here from which he is suffering and has suffered is ascending. This is the cervical vertebrae. This is the base of this man’s skull (indicating), here is his head and jaw. These vertebras are as you will notice here, — they indicate, with this haze, which I spoke about a moment ago, — indicate that this is ascending and throwing out a calcareous deposit, causing a stiffness of his neck, which seems to be progressive. * * *
“You will note that this intervertebral disc, these intervertebral discs are these shadows which you see, between the vertebra (indicating). I think at no place ought they to be as thick as that (indicating). Here, may be more (indicating). That is the result of inflammation of the cartilage in between there which has been absorbed. I will call your attention to another thing; you will notice how this extends out beyond the body of the vertebrae — that halo is because the tissues meet in apposition to this column — they have been insiltrated. That is, if we had a fluid here and the river overflowed, the surrounding country would be inundated and the water would back up. Likewise, inflammation of this man’s spine which shows very distinctly; the outlying tissues have become hazy as it appears on these pictures — showing inflammation. There has been a certain amount of calcareous or bone formed — bone forming tissues that have been thrown out and that gives it that curious hazy appearance. I draw my own conclusion from this and that is that part of the spine, from here down to here is practically, — it has lost its flexibility and it is rigid or solid, approximately solid, —the back has become ankylosed.”
From the evidence the jury was entitled to infer: (1) That the soldier’s back and head were injured in battle; (2) that he at once suffered the pain of what he called “rheumatism” in the injured part of the back; (3) that the pain continued in the injury, whenever he moved the back in work or bending over, from the inception of the injury until the complete calcification of the backbone and ensuing paralysis; (4) that this evidenced the malady described by his physician expert as “chronic arthritis”; (5) that this malady was, as testified, “incurable”; (6) that the malady is an inflammation in the joints of the vertebrae causing the secretion of the calcareous matter which solidified the spine; (7) that the greater the inflammation the greater the secretion and the quicker total calcification and paralysis; (8) that the pain always caused by the gainful bodily work he performed, showed it increased the inflammation, hence the greater formation of calcareous matter, and hastened the paralysis; and hence (9) that his gainful employment was, in the words of the Lumbra Case, “at the risk of endangering his health or life,” and hence made his disability none the less total.
We have no right to take from the jury the inference that the soldier’s physical labor, causing or increasing pain, meant increased inflammation of the joints of the spine and hence an increase of the “bone forming tissues that have been thrown out.” with the attendant calcification.
The only gainful attempt made by the soldier, other than' that at rude labor, was in the trucking business, which went bankrupt. On the question whether the soldier has sustained his burden that, with his impaired physical condition he was a person incapable of self-support in any other occupation, it is obvious that one oí the principal items of evidence was the mental capacity and adaptibility of the plaintiff himself. Keith v. New Haven &, etc., Co., 140 Mass. 175, 3 N.E. 28. These qualities or the lack of them were under the observation of the judge and jury while the plaintiff was undergoing protracted direct and cross-examination. They were evidence to the judge when he denied the motion for a directed verdict.
We are here considering the sufficiency of the evidence to reverse a verdict on the ground of the failure to instruct for the defendant. We are hence required to assume that the trial judge concluded that this “fourth reader” man, with this injury, is obviously so lacking in adjustable intelligence and initiative that the jury properly concluded that, just as in the attempted trucking business which ended in bankruptcy, and which he testified “he was not able to attend to,” any business he went into would wind up in bankruptcy.
Apart from mental qualities, a sedentary business requires continued effort in the spine in control of a sitting posture. Such effort may increase the pain to a point that even sedentary occupation cannot be pursued by one with a diseased spine, even if mentally qualified. It was a question for the jury whether this man with his limited education, doing nothing but rude labor before injury, had the mentality which, in connection with the pain he suffered, could acquire any gainful occupation at all, much less one that would not endanger his health.
Miller v. U. S., 294 U.S. 435, 440, 55 S.Ct. 440, 442, 79 L.Ed. 977, holds nothing contrary to this conclusion. There an able-bodied man lost one arm and had one defective eye, and the question was whether he had shown himself incapable of acquiring any gainful occupation. Instead of maintaining his burden of proof, the opinion shows that he did not make “any effort to engage in other work which ordinarily a one-armed man with one defective eye could do.”
It does not appear that the trial judge with his knowledge of the facts, in such pertinent part of the real evidence of his mentality as shown on the stand but not appearing here, erred in permitting the case to go to the jury, and the judgment should be affirmed. | CASELAW |

Isenburg-Büdingen
Isenburg-Büdingen was a County of southern Hesse, Germany, located in Büdingen. It was originally a part of the County of Isenburg.
There were two different Counties of the same name. The first (1341–1511) was a partition of Isenburg-Cleberg, and was partitioned into Isenburg-Büdingen-Birstein and Isenburg-Ronneburg in 1511. The second (1628–1806) was a partition of Isenburg-Büdingen-Birstein. It was partitioned between itself, Isenburg-Meerholz and Isenburg-Wächtersbach in 1673, and was mediatised to Isenburg in 1806. In 1816 Isenburg was partitioned between the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt and the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel.
Count Ernest Casimir (1801-1848) was elevated to the rank of prince by Louis II, Grand Duke of Hesse, in 1840. Since then, the name of the branch is spelled Ysenburg and Büdingen, to distinguish it from the princes of Isenburg from the Isenburg-Birstein branch. | WIKI |
intervillous thrombosis
intervillous thrombosis
description
in 1935 spanner published his theory that maternal blood entered the intervillous space in streams from the spiral arteries. the density of the villi within the intervillous space determines the resistance to flow from the spiral arteriole. maternal blood penetrates the intervillous space, leaves through the interlobular regions, and returns to the maternal circulation through veins beneath the placenta. the intervillous space makes up 30% to 40% of the total placental mass. intervillous thrombosis is due to the coagulation of blood within an intervillous space. either the arterial entry or venous exit of an intervillous space may be affected by thrombosis. leakage of fetal red cells into the intervillous space may also precipitate thrombosis by activating the coagulation cascade. however, the major component of an intervillous thrombus is maternal rather than fetal blood. on pathologic examination intervillous thrombi are found in 40% of placentas. they are not associated with an increase in fetal morbidity.
diagnosis
hoogland has imaged the subtle, pulsating pattern of maternal blood entering the intervillous spaces. with uterine contractions or a redistribution of spiral arterial flow, the intervillous spaces change shape or even disappear.
differential diagnosis
the differential diagnosis of an intervillous thrombosis would include a decidual septal cyst or a placental infarct. all of these lesions are sonographically indistinguishable.
sonographic features
on antenatal sonography intervillous spaces range in diameter from 0.3 to 3.0 cm.
the larger intervillous spaces have irregular borders.
with real-time imaging, slow turbulent blood flow may be appreciated within the intervillous space.
vermeulen and co-workers proved that these sonolucent areas were, in fact, intervillous spaces by comparing ultrasound images obtained in the third trimester with the anatomy of the perfused placenta after delivery.

Talk:Cameron Diaz
Peru
HELP: Could someone source the (Diaz) "was unaware that Peru was in bloody conflict" etc. I have found NOTHING where she says she was unaware, only that she apologized for the potential offence. Furthermore, since she has long been a world traveler, and this is (apparently)not her first visit to Peru, I would be shocked if she did not know ANYTHING about the decade of terrorsim suffered here in Peru (though, perhaps did not know details). If no one can find evidence that she did not know about the conflict, that statement really should be modified.
Also, I have updated the "Peru Issue" to more accuratly reflect her visit, on which she was wildly well received, including by Peruvian media from all political stripes. As of today, the issue had not even hit our media. I live in Peru, and for days we have seen countless stories and photos of here in an EXTREMELY positive light, and to pretend that teh "bag thing" was how Peruvians will remember here visit is so misleading it is actually in error.
Relationship with J. Timberlake
It's noted in the text that she is no longer with J. Timberlake. I'm not sure about that. Even in the text two dates appear as the end of the relationship, the first is "However, they split in January 2006" the second is "It has been reported that the couple is no longer together, and in fact haven't been since the beginning of December 2006". I just noticed it and is kinda standing out from the whole part of the text, so if anybody coul;d check it and change it [I didn't did it because I'm not 100% sure]..

The formation of hybrid DNA molecules and their use in studies of DNA homologies

Abstract
Heavy-isotope-labeled DNA has been used to study strand separation and recombination. The rate at which 14N−15N biologically half-labeled DNA can be made to separate into subunits corresponds very closely to what has been predicted for the rate of unwinding of the strands of a double helix. The use of a phosphodiesterase from E. coli (Lehman, 1960) which selectively attacks single-stranded DNA has made it possible to remove unmatched single chain ends from renatured DNA and reduce the remaining differences between renatured and native DNA. A mixture of heavy-isotope-labeled and normal bacterial DNA was taken through a heating and annealing cycle, treated with the phosphodiesterase and examined by cesium chloride density-gradient centrifugation. Three bands were observed, corresponding to heavy renatured, hybrid, and light renatured DNA. As would be expected for random pairing of complementary strands, the amount of the hybrid was double that of either the heavy or the light component. It has thus been demonstrated that the strands which unite in renaturation are not the same strands that were united in the native DNA but instead are complementary strands originating in different bacterial cells. The formation of hybrids has been possible only where the heavy and normal DNA samples have a similar overall base composition. It has also been shown for DNA samples isolated from bacteria of different genera in a case where genetic exchange by conjugation has been demonstrated. The evidence for the parallelism between genetic compatibility and the formation of DNA hybrids in vitro has led to the proposal that organisms yielding DNA which forms hybrid molecules are genetically and taxonomically related.

Photos: Bethenny Frankel sold her Soho, NYC loft for seven figures
Bethenny Frankel has sold her Soho loft for $4 million after about two years on the market. The Skinnygirl founder and CEO purchased the downtown Manhattan apartment for $4.2 million in October 2014, according to Zillow, and spent about $400,000 renovating, reports The Wall Street Journal. She originally listed the loft in February 2017 for $5.25 million. Take a look inside. The space is 2,392 square feet with two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The great room has 14-foot ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. The open kitchen has high-end appliances and has marble countertops. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a marble bathroom. Frankel, who recently announced should would not return to Bravo's "Real Housewives of New York City," has renovated and sold several properties in New York in recent years. She renovated her penthouse in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood and sold it for $6.95 million after one day on the market in 2016. In 2018, she flipped a two-bedroom condo in Manhattan's Flatiron neighboorhood for $4.25 million. She also purchased two Bridgehampton homes: the first for $3.2 million in 2015 and the second for $2.5 million in 2017. Frankel sold Skinnygirl Cocktails to beverage giant Beam Suntory in 2011 for a reported $100 million. Leonard Steinberg, Herve Senequier, Amy Mendizabal and Calli Sarkesh of Compass held the Soho listing. Disclosure: CNBC parent company NBCUniversal owns Bravo. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Given the animal's popularity and frequent public appearances (while alive), there are likely free images to be found and freely used, rather than making a fair-use claim on a photo taken from a newspaper website. I've attempted to tag as disputed fair use, but uploader removes, but his logic is faulty (IMO). I'll let a broader discussion ensue here Zim Zala Bim talk 06:01, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Seems to be a derivative work; photo of several spines of Doctor Who DVD releases. Not sure the uploader can claim to hold the rights to this image. (ESkog)(Talk) 13:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
* Should probably be Non-free video cover at a lower resolution. -- WOSlinker (talk) 15:24, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
* This is a photograph of a creative arrangement of commercial products. Without giving you a course on copyright law, the person who took this photograph can claim to hold the rights in the entire image. Just because there is something (or even several somethings) in a picture that may be subject to copyright does not necessarily make the picture a "derivative" of those items. The image appears to be correctly tagged. Crypticfirefly (talk) 07:47, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
* One DVD cover would require a notice that the copyright belonged to the designer of that cover. So surely x DVD covers (where x is however many DVD's are in that picture) requires the same thing. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
* Crypticfirefly is correct. Copyright law doesn't stack in the way you describe, otherwise we'd have no photographs on biography pages unless we got the permission of every copyright holder whose clothing the subject was wearing. If the photographer gives us permission to use this image, we can use it. --Zoe.R (talk) 10:29, 18 March 2009 (UTC) (law student)

Childbirth // After childbirth
Breast after birth
Breast after birth
Every woman wants to keep a nice and elastic breast, and after birth, like millipara.But in fact, such a result for the mere desire is not enough - you need to take a set of appropriate measures.It does not mean that to maintain beautiful breasts you need to give up breast-feeding - Physiology has been able to prove that this process is not particularly leads to changes in a woman's breasts after pregnancy and lactation.On the breast affected mainly committed other factors, first of all - women care about the neckline.About a quarter of a woman's breast is filled with adipose tissue, to ¾ - glandular.
The mission of glandular lobules (20 pieces) becomes milk production.At puberty, under the influence of hormones, growth and development of glandular lobules.Chest acquires its final size and appearance to the age of 20-23 years.However, pregnancy leads to significant influence for breast cancer, there is at this time preparing for the upcoming lactation breast.When pregnancy continues preparations gland
ular lobules to the milk, taking an active part directly during lactation, after the cessation of breastfeeding reduced and restored to its original state.In rare cases, they may be slightly less than the periparturient size.
Consequently, significant changes occur as the female breast.If you do not resort to some complex actions, it will be difficult to restore prenatal breast shape after childbirth and breastfeeding.
Methods for breast reconstruction after childbirth
The first and one of the major steps to preserve the beauty of their breasts after childbirth becomes a helpful weight control.If not paid due attention to the change in weight, increases the risk of stretch marks.Weight gain during pregnancy should not be more than 8-10 kg.If you can not keep the weight off in the designated rules, use specific exercises aimed at strengthening the bust, also useful to use cold water.This is useful to perform exercises to strengthen the bust before pregnancy - increasing the chances for the prevention of problematic changes in the breast in the postpartum period.Action cold water helps to strengthen and tone the skin with improved blood circulation, the fibers of breast tissue and blood vessels are elastic and more resilient.
After regular contrast shower should be rubbing his chest with a towel - this approach will help to improve blood circulation and prepare the nipples for the upcoming nursing.For the state of the breast skin important during pregnancy and the postpartum period is given the correct diet.At the critical time of pregnancy and breast-feeding the child the importance assigned to receive the necessary vitamins and minerals - as a result of their deficit problems with the skin condition.
habitual diet must include the consumption of cereals (for the body will provide the necessary vitamins B), fresh fruits and vegetables, berries (different vitamins C), eggs, liver, carrots (vitamin A), cottage cheese.The normal level of calcium in the organism can be maintained due to the consumption of milk and dairy products.To normalize the level of iron is recommended the consumption of meat, legumes and cereals.Fluoride can be derived from fish.Particular attention should be given bananas and tomatoes, containing valuable for the female body potassium.
Cream for breast reconstruction after childbirth
To prevent stretch marks on his chest, you can use special creams.If you start using them early pregnancy and the entire period of breastfeeding, allow to provide very effective results.These creams contain in their composition certain natural substances, including oils, extracts, providing a tonic effect and making the skin more elastic.
If necessary braces or if there is prerequisites for this (it is a factor considered pregnancy and breast-feeding), you need to buy a high quality cream with the addition of expensive active ingredients - only under this condition can achieve greater effect, but are not limited simply wetting the top layer of skin.Creams with a massage are the key to effective, comprehensive protection against the formation of stretch marks.
deserves special attention as underwear.In particular, you should choose bras that provide a uniform retention of the load increases in breast size.It is recommended to buy cotton bras with wide straps and back.It is also essential that the edge of the cups covered not only the lower part of the chest, and its entirety.
Experts recommend a bra to sleep, even for the prevention of sagging breasts.However, it is necessary to choose soft bra (without fasteners and seeds), cotton and comfortable, this optimum is to use special tops.
set of exercises for breast reconstruction after childbirth
After the birth of a healthy baby should continue to pay due attention to his chest, but in this package of measures will make certain amendments.Including will completely abandon the contrast shower during lactation - not allowed hypothermia chest.Then it becomes necessary to perform almost gentle hand massage the breasts.It helps not just massaging areas with stagnant breast milk (which can be dangerous to mastitis), but also helps to improve blood circulation, helping to strengthen the chest.
importance is given and the observance of certain rules when feeding the child.First of all, should be to choose the optimum position, including on its side, placing a pillow under the arm.This will lower the chest to keep on weight, thereby reducing the stretching of the skin.The skin is stretched and under the influence of a manual breast pump, so try to give up such a need (but you can use a breast pump).It should be controlled to approximately the same volume of milk was maintained in both breasts.Applying the baby they should be serially - first one breast, then to the other alternately.
sure to remember about the features of effective exercises, but not using the goods.In fact, in this period to find time to practice hard, although considerable waste of time for these measures would be required:
• exercise stand upright with his hands "at the seams" with the implementation of the circular movement of the shoulders - forward, then backward.Care should be taken not to tilt your head at this exercise.
• repeat the first exercise, carrying arms outstretched swings in a circle - forward, then back, then to the opposite sides (right hand forward, left - back, then vice versa).
• hands add up the front of the chest, palm to palm abut vertically (like as in prayer).We arrange the elbows to the sides, to remain at the same level, forming a straight line.Further, with the force of the palm abut each other, holding their voltage for a few seconds, then back to relax.This exercise is repeated several times.
• Stand near a wall, push-ups starting from it.
• stands next to a wall, leaning on her hands at chest level, pressing firmly on the wall, as if to her to "move."
• become straight, without bending the wall.Hands add up to the castle for the buttocks, raise them back up the highest possible, but need to maintain a level posture.Next, count to ten, and then try to raise their hands even higher (if possible) once again to count to ten.
should perform at least one exercise each day, or combine some exercises, the best option - the regular performance of the set of all these exercises.And always be sure to monitor your posture.
After a period of breast-feeding a baby breast should recover by returning to the previous settings.When you save certain claims to the shape of the breast, you can continue taking care of her beauty.
Including you can go to beauty salons: they will be offered a bath with sea water, vibration, vacuum and other massagers.Also quite useful and are liftingovye procedures to normalize skin tone.
production means for lifting is based on seafood: have the form of masks, which are superimposed in the upper chest to the breast skin.These procedures allow for regular performance of the funds to provide the necessary lift for the mineral components of the body, contributing to the removal of excess tissue fluid.It also provides a beneficial effect for the breast skin orange juice, lemon and cucumber.For this purpose pieces of data products obkladyvaya neck and neck.
can also recommend a skin wash decoction of wild rose, green tea, chamomile and mats.If the douche was contraindicated during lactation, after breastfeeding temperature changes will only be useful to the chest.
can not be limited, not only procedures with contrasting shower, you can wipe the skin with ice cubes - used earlier frozen herbal teas.Then the skin is pounded his chest in a circular motion with your fingertips or the edge of his hand.
should also take into account the benefit of the required exercises.The intensity of the exercise after the cessation of breast-feeding can be gradually increased.Including the sequence can be increased stress and complicate the exercise.
if necessary to achieve a rapid effect, can be combined gymnastic exercises at home and training in the gym.Especially helpful is and swimming.To maintain the beauty of the breast after birth, the first and most important condition - the desire to restore the beauty of the woman.If you follow the proper technique and consideration of rules a woman can confidently expect a positive result.

Metallica discography
Self nomination I've been working on this periodically for a while now and really got into it about a week ago. It's ready now. I left out the b-sides because they are all demos, live, and covers. There are no actual non-album tracks. If you want to see them, they can be found here. I'm welcome to any comments and suggestions. Thanks, Burningclean [speak] 21:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Support Cool man. Drewcifer (talk) 02:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
* Comments
* See The Prodigy discography for a neater way to keep a certifications (from more than two Certifiers) for the Albums. The code is kinda complex for Prodigy, so you can make it just like The Strokes discography.
* I think I'll go with the latter. The Prodigy discog make my brain numb :P
* Just as a note, I made the code in the Prodigy discography the way it is so that the actual certification names would be aligned along a common line, as opposed to back and forth. I dunno if it was worth all the code, but that's why it's like that. Drewcifer (talk) 06:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Yeah Burning, I know what you mean, I wrote The Strokes discog, and attempted the Prodigy certs code...
* Keep EPs after studio album. Also, the billboard peak can just be a bullet point.
* US main, mod -->Main, Mod. platinum, gold -->Platinum, Gold (throughout).
* "I Disappear" single entry is ugly. Remove a couple of the cites (BEL can definitely go, no need to list each and every territory. obviously there are a number of countries in the world where the band charted but its not listed here.) and expand the album column.
* The Music videos column widths suck :D
* Viedos: Billboard peak --> Billboard 200 peak? Be specific. Column widths suck again.
* More bullet point info for the Film.
* Like what? I stole the format from Tenacious D discography.
* The Paradise Lost and Rock Band songs should each have their own row.
* Lead needs rewriting (not just a ce), why no mention that the Black Album was their most commercial and that it brought the to the mainstream? Too much info on their next album/current status. And what does "Rick Rubin is producing the album; he is the first new producer for Metallica since 1990's Metallica, which was produced by Rock." mean?
* Hmm... I'll figure one out. The lead is the part I hate when writing :P
* Refs need formatting. Link first instance of publisher, article name in "quotes" blah blah.
* Oh wait I was looking at the Metallica article. Fix those then :P.
* I just might :D/=<
* If Sound of the Beast hasn't been used as a ref, why is it listed under References? I recommend checking books for chart positions, because many online sources may be be incomplete about the 1980s; we're having such a problem with R.E.M.'s discography. It seems very odd that none of Metallica's early singles (and "Master of Puppets"!) never charted. indopug (talk) 06:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Sound of the Beast is used in ref 5. Metallica didn't release any songs to airplay until ...And Justice for All. The only way their early singles were available were at gigs for the most part. I can't find a reliable source for that, I just know it (my dad was a gigger in the 80s and caught the 'tallica) Burningclean [speak] 18:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* I too am reasonably sure that "One" was the band's first single to chart. However just to be safe, you should look at the chart information at allmusic.com as well, which is strangely more complete than the chart info at billboard.com (going back to our work on the R.E.M. discography, I noticed that whole swaths of singles I knew had charted weren't listed for some reason). WesleyDodds (talk) 22:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Yeah, I checked AMG; nothing different. Burningclean [speak] 23:00, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
* Comment Where does the discography mention the following;
* 1) Metallica's cover of "The Ecstacy of Gold", featured on the tribute album We All Love Ennio Morricone.
* 2) Metallica's cover of "53rd & 3rd", featured on the tribute album We're A Happy Family - A Tribute To The Ramones.
* 3) Metallica's cover of Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy", originally featured on the tribute album Rubaiyat – Elektra's 40th Anniversary.
Until the above three are featured in the discography, it's incomplete. LuciferMorgan (talk) 12:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* Thanks. Do you have any interest in any other comments/support/oppose? Burningclean [speak] 19:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
* The Ramones tribute album which featured Metallica was actually released in 2003, and not 1999. LuciferMorgan (talk) 19:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* Fixed. Thanks. Burningclean [speak] 22:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
* Actually, Stone Cold Crazy is on the Garage, Inc album - I was thinking that there were some missing songs, like "The Prince", and "Killing Time", from the Black album era singles, but those are all on the Garage, Inc album, too. Skeletor2112 (talk) 05:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
* Actually, if you check Garage, Inc.'s liner notes, you'd discover "Stone Cold Crazy" was originally on Rubaiyat. In fact, all the songs on the second disc were previously released elsewhere on singles, comps etc. LuciferMorgan (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
* I knew that. Did you want me to mention it or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burningclean (talk • contribs)
* Yea, I know it was on the Electra comp, but nearly all of the tracks from disc 2 of Garage Inc are from different releases, Breadfan, Killing Time, The Prince, even Stone Cold Crazy was the B side of a Black album-era single, IIRC.(I had all of those "cassete singles" back in the day) - should all of those tracks be listed twice on the discog? Skeletor2112 (talk) 11:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
* They are all listed under the b-sides. Burningclean [speak] 22:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
* Big glaring omission Now I'm not sure how many miscellaneous track Metallica released before the Black Album, but one that's definitely missing is "Hit the Lights", the very first Metallica recording from the Metal Massacre compilation. Additionally, didn't they re-record that song for a later version of the comp? WesleyDodds (talk) 00:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
* Wow! I missed alot of compilation appearences. I found them all here though. Thanks for mentioning it. I don't know anything about a re-recording though. Never heard about that. Burningclean [speak] 22:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
* There are a few different versions, the original, that was done at the last second, which only appears on the first pressing of Metal Massacre, then there is a re-mix that was on all subsequent pressings. There is the No Life 'Til Leather demo version, which has Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney, and then there is the Kill 'em All album version. Do other discogs leave out demos? Cuz No Life till Leather is a pretty popular one. Skeletor2112 (talk) 05:48, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
* Comment Hey man, looks pretty good. Here are a few things I noticed:
* While they originally formed in LA, Metallica is most defenetly a San Fransisco/Bay Aream based band, they left LA in 1982 and havent lived here since.
* "The position for lead guitar was originally held by Lloyd Grant, but he was replaced by Dave Mustaine,[2] with the position for bass guitar was passed on to Ron McGovney.[3]" sounds a little weird.. Lloyd Grant was never really a member, he played one solo on one demo, so I'm not sure he is notable enought to be mentioned here. And the bass sentence sounds odd, 'with the position for bass guitar was passed on to.." you could just say, "with Ron McGovney on bass." And I think the official word is that McGovney was fired.
* "Ex-Flotsam and Jetsam bassist Jason Newsted replaced Burton and recorded four studio albums, two live albums, one cover album, and one EP with the band before leaving tension with other band members saw him leave." The sentence sounds jumbled, especially the last part. Do you need to list off all of the releases w/Newstead? there is already a big list of eps, releases, singles, ect above. you could just say he was with the band from 1988 to 2003 or somthing. And the last part of the sentence is confusing: "and one EP with the band before leaving tension with other band members saw him leave" Somthing like "left due to tension with Hetfield" or somthing like that.
* "He was Metallica's longest standing bassist." - sounds weird, also pretty short.
* " Robert Trujillo (ex-Ozzy Osbourne, Suicidal Tendancies) was offered one million dollars to join Metallica on bass guitar, and accepted.[9] " - Actually, he joined the band and they gave him a million as a "bonus"... the $ thing is not really needed there, you could just say he joined the band.
* "Rick Rubin is producing the album; he is the first new producer for Metallica since 1990's Metallica, which was produced by Rock" - sounds a little choppy. Does this info really need to be included on the discog page?
* "Metallica has sold over 100 million records worldwide, with over 57 million records in the United States alone. This makes the band the most successful thrash metal band of all time." - Second sentence sounds a little weird on its own, Combine them to say "As the most successful thrash metal band of all time, Metallica has sold over 100 million records worldwide, with over 57 million records in the United States alone."
Other than that, looks pretty good, dude, good work! Skeletor2112 (talk) 05:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
* Actually, I'm re-writting the entire lead. Burningclean [speak] 22:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey, looking at some of the demo pages for the band - there are quite a few more recordings, (some I've never heard of) but there are some well known ones, like Hit the Lights (album), Power Metal (Metallica album) and No Life 'Til Leather. I'm not up on discogs, but if the Metal Massacre "Hit the Lights" is included, these probably should, too. Skeletor2112 (talk) 06:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
* Nahh. Actually I don't think demos are even notable enough to warrent their own articles. Burningclean [speak] 22:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
* I don't think you can have a blanket rule on the matter; isn't that first demo important in Metallica folklore? Then it would merit listing. indopug (talk) 05:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Comment Garage Inc. should be listed as a compilation. WesleyDodds (talk) 06:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
* Why? It is all covers. Burningclean [speak] 22:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
* But the album was created by compiling previously recorded/released tracks. indopug (talk) 05:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
* To set the record straight, that can only be said of the second disc. The songs on the first disc were not previously recorded or released. LuciferMorgan (talk) 10:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Withdraw nom I'm am going to with draw the nom. I've been busy lately and I need to rewrite the lead. Not much time on my hands to do that. I'll work on the lead as well as any other issues listed here, and then renominate. It shouldn't be too long until it is back up here. I'd say maby a week or two. Thanks for the reviews everyone.

Why event loop uses more than one thread?
Tags: ,
I always thought that asynchronous execution is about efficient resource utilization and thread safety, but today I ran into Netty’s strange behavior.
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
EventLoopGroup group = new NioEventLoopGroup();
ServerBootstrap bootstrap = new ServerBootstrap();
try {
bootstrap.group(group)
.channel(NioServerSocketChannel.class)
.childHandler(new ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel>() {
@Override
public void initChannel(SocketChannel channel) {
channel.pipeline()
.addLast(new ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter() {
@Override
public void read(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) {
String id = String.valueOf(Thread.currentThread().getId());
ctx.writeAndFlush(Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(id.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)))
.addListener(ChannelFutureListener.CLOSE);
}
});
}
})
.bind("localhost", 1234)
.sync()
.channel()
.closeFuture()
.syncUninterruptibly();
} finally {
group.shutdownGracefully()
.syncUninterruptibly();
}
}
}
When I connected for the first time, I got 16. Then 17, 18, 19, etc. Every connection was executed on a new thread! Why? What’s the point of Netty, if it’s multi-threaded?
Answer
NioEventLoopGroup uses worker threads to utilize multiple CPU cores. As per the no-argument constructor javadoc:
NioEventLoopGroup()
Create a new instance using the default number of threads, the default ThreadFactory and the SelectorProvider which is returned by SelectorProvider.provider().
The deafult thread count as per MultithreadEventLoopGroup will be twice the number of available processors:
DEFAULT_EVENT_LOOP_THREADS = Math.max(1, SystemPropertyUtil.getInt(
"io.netty.eventLoopThreads", NettyRuntime.availableProcessors() * 2));
Generally this should be enough to saturate the CPU without creating a huge number of threads. Spawn too few threads and you won’t get full CPU utilization. Spawn too many and you will waste substantial time context switching between them.

There are a number of different adaptations that vegetation in rainforests has made in order to adjust to the climate.
There are 5 layers of vegetation found in the tropical rainforest biome. Firstly due to the canopy layer which provides continuous cover only 2% of sunlight filters to the forest floor so few seedlings grow. This means that some plants have to adapt to these conditions by not requiring as much sunlight to grow. An example of a plant that does this, is a Lianas which is found on the forest floor where there is very little sunlight. This means that once trees fall down and there is more light available that seeds need to germinate quickly in order to ensure access to sufficient sunlight. Hardwoods such as ebony and teak germinat,e quickly to begin what is a slow competition of growth. In addition the kapok tree which is an emergent has strong buttress roots in order to support their tall height. The kapok tree has to be tall in order to reach sunlight above all the other trees for photosynthesis. The Macaranga tree has quick growth due to their adapted large leaves which enable the plant to absorb lots of sunlight.
As for the animals found in the rainforest they have also made adaptations in terms of their food supply. The Spider Monkey which is found in the Amazon live near fig trees as this is their major food source. This is because the fig trees have fruit all year round therefore there is a constant supply and always available. Therefore they have made adaptions of their food supply based on the climate as this is one of the only supplies that fruit all year round in the hot and humid climate of the rainforest. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Confidence-based learning
Confidence-based learning is a system of learning.
History
The confidence-based learning is a culmination of more than 70 years of academic, commercial, and governmental research into the connection between confidence, correctness, retention, and learning. The first academic paper on the subject was written in 1932.
The framework for confidence-based learning is based primarily around the research of Darwin Hunt, Dieudonne LeClerq, Emir Shuford, and James E. Bruno. | WIKI |
Obama and Clinton together -- historic moment, iconic photo
Ruth Ben-Ghiat is a professor of history and Italian studies at New York University. Her latest book is "Italian Fascism's Empire Cinema." The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author. (CNN)Over the last 10 days, the Democratic and Republican conventions have inundated us with rivers of words and pictures. Some of the images stand out more than others and have already found an afterlife in GIFs and video clips. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump entering the stage, silhouetted in fog, a strong or menacing figure, depending on your politics; first lady Michelle Obama, radiant in blue and lit with passion and reason; Sen. Bernie Sanders, noble as he urged his followers to support Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee. Yet one image above all will stand in our memory for years to come: President Barack Obama, the first African-American to hold our nation's highest office, embracing Clinton, the first woman to win a presidential nomination from a major party. They glow with joy and exultation as they face out to the cheering crowds. It's hard to overestimate the significance of this image of a black man and a woman together at the pinnacle of American politics. I remember the tears of happiness and amazement when Obama was elected. Many doubted this could happen in a country where the "echoes of Jim Crow" still resonate in the everyday lives of black Americans, as former Attorney General Eric Holder put it in his own convention speech. The right of African-Americans to vote at all was long contested, until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Nor did it seem as though a woman could come so far. Women got the vote in 1920, but despite our country's notable progress in shifting attitudes about gender, inequities still rule on and off the job. The military is out front in its laudable push for gender integration, but plenty of Americans share Trump's feeling that he does not want to hear the term "Madame President" -- not yet. Images capture our history at a given moment and time, often telling us things that words cannot. Into this image of Obama and Clinton flow several streams of our national past. While a convention stage is a far different backdrop than reality on the street, the image made there marks a milestone in the ongoing struggle for civil and human rights. It also works as an emblem for our future, symbolizing the democratic commitment to inclusion and diversity. Our nation is changing demographically: Political parties can either resist that change, or channel its energies. Join us on Facebook.com/CNNOpinion. It also shows what Democrats are up against in this election. Hillary Clinton is not just a woman but also the wife of former President Bill Clinton, and as such represents to many Republicans larger issues: Her nomination signals a definitive break with old notions of gender roles even as it conjures an era they see as politically corrupt. And Obama, as an African-American, stands for the shifting power relations in America that come with demographic change. Trump supporters who chant, "We want our country back!" have in this photograph all the ammunition they need to lament the decline of "real America." Two starkly contrasting stories have emerged in these past months, corresponding to different visions of our nation. There's America as narrated by Republicans: an America broken and in crisis, needing a strongman to fix it. This vision of our nation disavows the embrace of Obama and Clinton, because it disavows what each stand for, and even who they are. And there's the America of optimism and activism, which has the mantra "We are stronger together." Clinton and Obama embracing tells us this story. We will see, come November, which nation will prevail. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Talk:Devil among the tailors
Alternative Game
My family in Edinburgh has a very different different game, using a spinning top on a boxed in board- called "De'el among the Tailors", which I was told thirty years ago, meant "Devil Among The Tailors". There is a similar game in Osterley House, a National Trust property in west London with the name "Devil among the Tailors" IceDragon64 18:53, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm not convinced on the name origins sections. De'il among the Tailors is also the name of a popular British fiddle tune which appeared in collections as early as 1800 (and an unrelated tune with the same name was published in 1773), according to Andrew Kunz's Fiddlers Companion website.

SAP nudges up multi-year outlook after posting in-line 2016 results
SAP, Europe's most valuable technology firm, on Tuesday posted 2016 results on the lower side of analysts' expectations, while nudging up its 2017 sales and profit guidance and signalling slightly higher revenue ambitions four years out. Fourth-quarter operating profit, excluding special items, for the German software maker rose 4 percent to 2.37 billion euros ($2.55 billion), the company said in a statement. These results were on the light side of estimates ranging from 2.28-2.60 billion euros, according to a Reuters poll of 21 analysts. SAP Finance Chief Luka Mucic indicated last month the company would meet 2016 targets. But marking progress moving its customer base to newer cloud-based Internet platforms from classic packaged software products it has sold for decades, SAP said new cloud bookings jumped 40 percent in the quarter and backlog for unbilled cloud services rose 47 percent to 5.4 billion euros at year-end. SAP said it expects revenue for 2017 of 23.2 to 23.6 billion euros, a modest rise from the 23.0 to 23.5 billion euros it forecast a year ago for the current year and an increase of 6 percent over 2016, based on the midpoint of the guidance. These forecasts were shy of the mean 2017 revenue estimate of 23.65 billion euros, based on a Reuters poll of 20 analysts. "Our strong backlog paired with our robust pipeline position us for yet another year of profitable growth in 2017," Mucic said in a statement, adding that these factors allowed the company to confidently raise its financial ambitions for 2020. SAP raised its 2020 total revenue outlook to between 28 and 29 billion euros, up from a range of 26 to 28 billion previously, while looking for operating profit at high end of its prior outlook.

Write the short note on DVD
DVD stands for Digital Video Disk or Digital Versatile Disk. It is the next generation of optical disk storage technology. It is a faster CD that can hold cinema like video better than CD audio.
DVD drive is an optical ROM. The disk is made up of poly carbonate. It is coated with material which will change its reflecting property. When a high intensity laser beam is focused on it. The coating material is highly reflective. The high intensity laser beam forms a tiny pit along a trace represent one and source without pit known land represent zero.
There are various variations of DVD DVD-ROM or DVD-R is physical format and DVD video or DVD audio is application format.
DVDs are the same diameter and thickness as CDs and they are made using some same material and manufacturing method.
Like a CD the data on a DVD is encoded in the form of small bits and bumps in the track of the disk.
There are five recordable version of DVD-ROM.
a. DVD-R for general
b. DVD-R for authoring
c. DVD-RAM
d. DVD-RW
e. DVD+RW

Verb
* 1) to wolf down, eat quickly, gulp, gobble, hog, stuff oneself with without regard for table manners
Usage notes
* Being a momentane verb, is used when the amount of the food to be wolfed down is confined or the moment of eating is transient, whereas the frequentative is used when the duration of the eating is longer, more continuous or more or less indefinite. The difference can sometimes be translated in English by using the continuous tense. | WIKI |

Sub-Doppler cooling
Sub-Doppler cooling is a class of laser cooling techniques that reduce the temperature of atoms and molecules below the Doppler cooling limit. In experiment implementation, Doppler cooling is limited by the broad natural linewidth of the lasers used in cooling. Regardless of the transition used, however, Doppler cooling processes have an intrinsic cooling limit that is characterized by the momentum recoil from the emission of a photon from the particle. This is called the recoil temperature and is usually far below the linewidth-based limit mentioned above.
Methods of sub-Doppler cooling include optical molasses, Sisyphus cooling, evaporative cooling, free space Raman cooling, Raman side-band cooling, resolved sideband cooling, polarization gradient cooling, electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) cooling, and the use of a dark magneto-optical trap. These techniques can be used independently or combined in an experimental sequence, depending on the minimum temperature needed and specifications of the individual setup. For example, an optical molasses time-of-flight technique was used to cool sodium (Doppler limit $$ T_D \approx 240 \ \mu K$$) to $ 43 \pm 20 \ \mu K$.
Motivations for sub-doppler cooling include motional ground state cooling, cooling to the motional ground state, a requirement for maintaining fidelity during many quantum computation operations.
Dark magneto-optical trap
A magneto-optical trap (MOT) is commonly used for cooling and trapping a substance by Doppler cooling. In the process of Doppler cooling, the red detuned light would be absorbed by atoms from one certain direction and re-emitted in a random direction. The electrons of the atoms would decay to an alternative ground states if the atoms have more than one hyperfine ground level. There is the case of all the atoms in the other ground states rather than the ground states of Doppler cooling, then system cannot cool the atoms further.
In order to solve this problem, the other re-pumping light would be incident on the system to repopulate the atoms to restart the Doppler cooling process. This would induce higher amounts of fluorescence being emitted from the atoms which can be absorbed by other atoms, acting as a repulsive force. Due to this problem, the Doppler limit would increase and is easy to meet. When there is a dark spot or lines on the shape of the re-pumping light, the atoms in the middle of the atomic gas would not be excited by the re-pumping light which can decrease the repulsion force from the previous cases.
This can help to cool the atoms to a lower temperature than the typical Doppler cooling limit. This is called a dark magneto-optical trap (DMOT). | WIKI |

1196 THYRSUS, which separated Leucas from the mainland. It is placed by Leiike in the plain of Zaverdha, but no ruins of it have been discovered. Its name does not occur in Strabo. Thyrium is first mentioned in B. c. 373, when its territory was invaded by Iphi- crates. (Xen. Hell. vi. 2. § 37.) Xenophon de- scribes it as a place of importance; and it appears as one of tlie chief cities of Acarnania at the time of the Roman wars in Greece, when its name fre- quently occurs. At this period Thyrium was one of the places at which the meetings of the Acar- nauian League were usually held. [Acarnania.] It was one of the many towns whose ruin was oc- casioned by the foundation of NicopoLis, to which its inhabitants were removed by order of Augustus. (Pol. iv. 6, 25, xvii. 10, xxii. 12, xxviii. 5; Liv. xxxvi. 11, 12, xsxviii. 9, xhii. 17; Anth. Grace. I. c. ; Leake, Northeni Greece, vol. iv. p. 1 6.) COIN OF THYRIUM. THYRSUS or TYRSUS {©vpaos TT0Ta^6s, Ptol. ; ©opffoy, Fans.: Tirso), the most considerable river of Sardinia, which still retains its ancient name al- most unaltered. It has its sources in the mountains in the NE. corner of the island, and tlows into the Gidf of Oristano on the W. coast, after a course of above 75 miles. About 20 miles from its mouth it flowed past Forum Trajani, the ruins of which are still visible at Fordungiamis ; and about 36 miles higher up are the Bayni dl Benetutti, supposed to be the Aquae Lesitanae of Ptolemy. The Itineraries give a station " ad Caput Tyr.si" (^Itln. Ant. p. 81), which was 40 M.P. from Olbia by a rugged moun- tain road: it must have been near the village of Budusb. (De la Slarmora, Voy. en Sardaigne, vol. ii. p. 445.) Pausanias tells us that in early times the Thyrsus was the boundary between the part of the island occupied by the Greeks and Trojans and that which still remained in the hands of the native barbarians.

It was here that the emperor Gordiunus first set up the standard of rebellion against Maximin (Herodiaii. vii. 4, seq. ; Capitol. Gord. c. 7, seq.), and it was from him, probably, that it derived its title of a Roman colony. We find tlie name variously written, as Tusdra, by Hirtius or whoever was the author of the history of the African War {B. Afr. 26, 27, &c.), and Tusdrus, in the Itin. Ant. (p. 59).

The Galaxy S8's face-scanning feature might make you forget about its misplaced fingerprint scanner
Samsung’s new Galaxy S8 will have multiple ways to authenticate your device. It’s got a fingerprint sensor, an iris scanner, old-fashioned PINs, and now, a face scanner. Today the company announced its face-scanning feature, which it says will be its most convenient way to access your device. It’s fast and works from a distance, unlike the iris scanner, which requires you to put the phone close to your face to unlock it. It’s basically Windows Hello for your Samsung phone. This is also supposed to be the weakest form of authentication security-wise, so you won’t be able to use it for purchases, either through Samsung Pay or Android Pay. For that, you’ll need to rely on your current method to verify your identity. Can it be spoofed with a photo? We aren’t sure, but look out for our review where we’ll definitely put the scanner to the test. The face-scanning convenience might end up making up for Samsung’s poor fingerprint scanner placement. It’s now directly next to the camera on the back of the phone, which is definitely going to result in unintentional fingerprints on the camera. Get used to face scanning, I guess, to keep your phone clean. Developing.

Ya me to, on most forums i use which is mostly vbulletin the results are usually trash unless i go on google and type site:domain.com and search. I doubt XenForo.com is indexed fully in google.

Im surprised the requirement isn't PHP 5.3 since i see around the XenForo-0-sphere that the plugin system is Object oriented with listeners etc

Luckily the search actually works. ;)
eval() is still used for templates currently. The template syntax is very rich, so it compiles down to native PHP code as you might expect and these are loaded from the DB on demand. There is code in our template class to read them from the file system, though this functionality hasn't been completed yet; at the least, it's been considered since the beginning as this would allow byte code caching (APC).
Plugins (well, "code event listeners") don't use eval. You specify a class+method and that is (auto)loaded and your code is run. The listener is given a specific set of arguments, similar to MediaWiki. This actually makes it documentable, and allows more backwards compatibility or at least documentation of potential issues.
Eval() not withstanding, I'm not sure how HipHop would handle the code. We haven't run it through the static analyzer yet, though it's on the cards. I'm not sure how it would handle including template files, and you would certainly have to recompile if you edited a template.

Well, aside from the fact that very few people actually run 5.3 currently, I'm not sure how 5.3 would help this particular example? Don't get me wrong, closures would be nice and so would late static binding (not too fussed about namespaces), but it wouldn't make a difference for event handling with the implementation we have. (Well, I suppose you could use closures if attaching to events in a certain way.)

Abstract
Short term electric load forecasting plays a crucial role for utility companies, as it allows for the efficient operation and management of power grid networks, optimal balancing between production and demand, as well as reduced production costs. As the volume and variety of energy data provided by building automation systems, smart meters, and other sources are continuously increasing, long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning models have become an attractive approach for energy load forecasting. These models are characterized by their capabilities of learning long-term dependencies in collected electric data, which lead to accurate prediction results that outperform several alternative statistical and machine learning approaches. Unfortunately, applying LSTM models may not produce acceptable forecasting results, not only because of the noisy electric data but also due to the naive selection of its hyperparameter values. Therefore, an optimal configuration of an LSTM model is necessary to describe the electric consumption patterns and discover the time-series dynamics in the energy domain. Finding such an optimal configuration is, on the one hand, a combinatorial problem where selection is done from a very large space of choices; on the other hand, it is a learning problem where the hyperparameters should reflect the energy consumption domain knowledge, such as the influential time lags, seasonality, periodicity, and other temporal attributes. To handle this problem, we use in this paper metaheuristic-search-based algorithms, known by their ability to alleviate search complexity as well as their capacity to learn from the domain where they are applied, to find optimal or near-optimal values for the set of tunable LSTM hyperparameters in the electrical energy consumption domain. We tailor both a genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) to learn hyperparameters for load forecasting in the context of energy consumption of big data. The statistical analysis of the obtained result shows that the multi-sequence deep learning model tuned by the metaheuristic search algorithms provides more accurate results than the benchmark machine learning models and the LSTM model whose inputs and hyperparameters were established through limited experience and a discounted number of experimentations.

Location
The building of the Regional Police Headquarters is located on the Špitálska Street,Bratislava nearby the Medical Garden, its walking distance from the city center is approximately 10 minutes.
Construction history
During the first years of the First Czechoslovak Republic a new and spacious building needed to be built for one of the two main Slovak police headquarters. The Police Headquarters of Bratislava were established in 1920 by a decree, but the city could not find a suitable building for this institution at first. The building itself was build during 1922-1925 and the Police Headquarters moved in in 1926. In the 1920's it was one of the most modern buildings used by police in Europe. Reportedly, the Police Headquarters in Lyon, France was built according to the same plan created by Frantisek Krupka. The two lions representing both the carriers and guards of the coat of arms of the First Czechoslovak Republic were added later. The Atlas statues and the statues of the lions created by the sculptor Augustin Paukert were brought later from Prague. On the roof of the building there was the transmitter of the Rádio Bratislava whose broadcasting began in the same year as the new building of the Police Headquarters started to operate. The first broadcasting was said to be connected with a theft of a large sum of money. Besides this transmitter, there were other transmitters for the internal use of the police.
Reconstruction
The general reconstruction of the building took place between 1990 and 1996. The goal of the rennovation was to repair the exterior and partly also the interior so that it would resemble the original appearance of the building from the 1920's. The front staircase and the stained glass decorations above the entrance remained in the original form. Part of the interior furnishing is identical with the original furnishing from 1926.
Use
In the past, the building served as a polyfunctional facility for the police. There was the police school, a boarding house, gym, library, riding hall, printing house but also the prison cells.
The “Two Lions” are said to have rather dark history. The political prisoners during the communist regime were inquired and possibly also tortured in this building.
Current use
Currently the building serves for the administrative activities and the direct police service. | WIKI |

Midevil Times Highlights of the Medieval Times The Medieval period was a time of many great accomplishments. Even though “kings struggled for land power”(Holt, 186), and people struggled just to stay alive, it was a time that will always mark a spot in history. Of the Middle Ages there were three main topics; government, manor and town life, and the role of the church. All three of these influenced the medieval Times greatly. The government of the medieval times was based on a system called feudalism.
This was a system of government was based on personal loyalties between lords and vassals. This system is different from modern governments, do to the fact that they are usually strong and centralized. The top person of feudalism was the lord. The lord had authority over everybody including the vassals. The vassals were people who owed loyalty to a lord.
In feudalism, the status of knights was considered to be the lowest, however, to be a knight in armor was a great honor. Feudalism continued to gain power through out many countries during the medieval times. It lead to the success of many powerful monarchies. Eventually feudalism died out do to new ideas and stronger centralized governments began to take over. During the Middle Ages, all life was surrounded around the manor. The castle that was in the manor was made of stone and had a moat surrounding it.
Although people would think that manor life would be great and pleasant, it was not always like that. Food scraps and other garbage was often just left on the floor. Arrows could be shot through the windows because they had no glass for windows. The peasants lived outside of the castle in little villages. “Peasant families lived in small hut made of mud or wood with straw roofs” (Holt, 195). These hut only had one room, therefore it made life very miserable for many people.
A peasant’s day of life consisted of farming. Not only did they have to farm their land, but also had to farm the lord’s land also. Life in the medieval Times may seem to be very difficult, which it was, but it has changed our lives for the better. The center of medieval life was all about the church. During this time, the people believed that they could only be saved through the church. Eventually through out the years, other stuff came into their lives, and church was not a important.
The people still remained loyal to their religion, but it no longer played as the center of their life. Finally, as the church role began to fade away, the time began to give away into a new age. During the Middle Ages, there were three main aspects, which were the government, the manor and town life, and the role of the church. All three of these things led to many achievements that will always mark a spot in history. Mythology. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Sigfrith
Sigfrith (also Sigfrid) (died 689) was abbot of Monkwearmouth Priory in Sunderland north-east England.
Sigfrith was a deacon at the time he was chosen "by Ceolfrid [abbot of the twin abbey at Jarrow] and the monks" (Bede, Lives of the abbots, 10 - 13). Bede states:
* He was a man well skilled in the knowledge of Holy Scripture of most excellent manners, of wonderful continence, and one in whom the virtues of the mind were in no small degree depressed by bodily infirmity, and the innocency of whose heart was tempered with a baneful and incurable affection of the lungs.
Soon afterwards, both he and the abbey's founder Benedict Biscop both fell fatally ill:
* Now both the abbots saw that they were near death, and unfit longer to rule the monastery, from increasing weakness which, though tending no doubt to the perfection of Christian purity, was so great, that, when they expressed a desire to see one another before they died, and Sigfrid was brought in a litter into the room where Benedict was lying on his bed, though they were placed by the attendants with their heads on the same pillow, they had not the power of their own strength to kiss one another, but were assisted even in this act of fraternal love. After taking counsel with Sigfrid and the other brethren, Benedict sent for Ceolfrid, abbot of St. Paul's, dear to him not by relationship of the flesh, but by the ties of Christian virtue, and with the consent and approbation of all, made him abbot of both monasteries. (Bede)
Two months later Sigfrid died, only four months before Benedict's own death. | WIKI |
Swiss Stocks Climb for Fourth Day; Logitech, Nestle Lead Advance
Swiss stocks rose, extending the
biggest four-day surge since 2008, after a report showed U.S.
industrial production climbed more than forecast, outweighing
slower-than-estimated economic growth in Germany. Logitech International SA (LOGN) , the world’s biggest maker of
computer mice, rallied 6.1 percent. Nestle SA (NESN) , the world’s
largest foodmaker, climbed 2 percent. Geberit AG (GEBN) , Europe ’s
largest maker of toilet-flushing systems, slumped 4.2 percent as
earnings declined. The Swiss Market Index (SMI) gained 0.9 percent to 5,373.3 at the
5:30 p.m. close in Zurich, having earlier retreated as much as
1.5 percent, bringing its rally over the past four days to 12
percent. The gauge has still tumbled 20 percent from this year’s
high on Feb. 18 amid concern that the global economic recovery
is stalling, while European leaders struggled to contain the
region’s sovereign-debt crisis. The broader Swiss Performance
Index added 0.6 percent today. “Industrial production shows that U.S. industry is not
slowing down as fast as feared,” said Christian Gattiker,
Zurich-based head of research at Bank Julius Baer & Co. “The
data is slightly less worrying than economists thought. However,
this is only a snapshot, and the emphasis will soon turn to
leading indices in the next couple of weeks.” U.S. industrial production climbed 0.9 percent last month,

Champion denture
Oral hygiene is key for high performance athletes. It’s not just a pretty smile. For a high performance athlete, oral hygiene is a determining factor.
Bad oral hygiene can predispose to pulls caused by streptococcus mutants, a bacterium that looks for the right means to develop in the mouth, first in the enamel and if you do not brush your teeth, the mouth becomes more acidic, then Staphylococcus develops, penetrates the enamel layer and attacks the dentine, which degrades faster because it is softer than enamel, destroys dentin and enters the vascular package.
In addition, the very practice of high performance sport, causes this bacteria to reproduce and cause damage, not only in the mouth. “When training, the heart rate accelerates and there is more circulation of blood in the body. This staphylococcus begins to circulate through the body and lodges in connective tissues, collagen or muscles and predisposes to injuries, tears, pulls, ligament distention , or even bacterial endocarditis, due to infection, that is why proper oral hygiene is important for everyone in general and especially for athletes.
The tooth is an extension of bone, either from the jaw or from the jawbone, if you were a boxer and you have a second degree decay in a lower molar, at the time of the fight, in case of receiving an impact in that area, cause a fracture in the molar and therefore in the jaw, so it is important that a boxer does not have decay, they are not allowedb to fight anyone in such a condition, but the same request should be made in all contact sports.
In cycling, the possibility of falls is very high, so I recommend that you use mouth guards, the same in the water polo, which is a very contact sport and in all cases of course, wash your teeth three times a day and use mouthwash in the morning and evening.
The consumption of energy drinks or moisturizers with acidic pH; the dehydration that causes the reduction of the flow of saliva; High intake of glucose-rich foods or chemicals used in training pools can stimulate caries. Therefore, for an athlete to have a perfect denture, it goes beyond aesthetics.
What Are The Treatments For Painful Inflammation For The Gums?
Pain and inflammation of the gums is usually the result of periodontal disease or gingivitis. While this is not always the case, it is fair to assume that this is what we’re dealing with. Gingivitis is common and preventable. The disease begins when plaque stays on the teeth for a long time and becomes tartar. Tartar cannot be removed with wire brushing and dental. Once it is in the teeth, it acts as a reservoir of bacteria and eventually irritate and infect the gums on the basis of the teeth. This causes swelling, pain and bleeding.
Treatment of gingivitis
The first step in treating gingivitis is a dentist thoroughly clean the teeth. Tartar which led to this condition cannot be removed at home, so cleaning is necessary. This cleaning will probably be a bit uncomfortable, especially if the gums are already irritated. Use an antiseptic mouthwash will also be part of the treatment after cleaning. This mouthwash is effective in cleaning any bacteria. The gums usually heal in a short period of time, assuming that you practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing thoroughly every day.
The importance of proper treatment
Gingivitis may not sound like a daunting disease, but can lead to serious complications if not treated properly. Untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontitis. Periodontitis can cause tooth loss and could lead to a heart attack or stroke, according to the Medical Center of the University of Maryland. Pregnant women with periodontitis are also much more likely to give birth to premature babies.
Other causes of sore gums
If you do not believe that gingivitis is the reason why your gums are swollen and painful, other conditions may be the cause. According to the National Institutes of Health, inflamed gums can be caused by viral or fungal infections, malnutrition, not fitting dentures, pregnancy, and sensitivity to toothpaste or mouthwash, a reaction to a prescription such as Dilantin or phenobarbital or scurvy. If inflamed gums are accompanied by fever or symptoms of “flu”, consult a doctor for treatment of a possible infection.
If you are fitted with prostheses or are pregnant, you may want to talk to your dentist or doctor about whether you may have a complication that affects your oral health. Scurvy is rare in the US and it is typically found in older, or undernourished. The treatment for scurvy involves high doses of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and can usually be treated effectively.
If you think you are having a reaction to your toothpaste or mouthwash, try a different to see if symptoms improve type. If you are using a prescription drug that could be causing swelling and pain in the gums, consult your doctor immediately as you may need to stop using the drug.
Home remedy
An effective home remedy for inflammation of the gums is the use of a simple compound of water and lemon gargle. Boil water and squeezes a lemon. Pour hot water into a glass and let it enough to put it in his mouth to cool. Make swish the water as you would any mouthwash. Repeat this process at least twice a day. The gums begin to return to normal size and this rinse will also remove the odor associated with the disease.
Using coal dust to brush your teeth
Many people do not know, but coal dust is one of the best products to brush your teeth. Coal is hard by nature, but will scratch your teeth. In fact, it is one of the surest ways to whiten and deodorize. While these products will not find at your local supermarket, they are available to ask for the Internet. If you want to whiten your teeth with coal dust, prepare your order list and read this article.
Instructions
1. Place fish bone, coal and areca under the newspaper and starts beating them with meat tenderizer. These ingredients do not come in powder form. You have to create the dust hitting them with your meat tenderizer. This will take a while. You must be sure to hit the ingredients until they become dust.
2. Up the newspaper and begins to mix the powder with your spoons. Not only do you have to have a fine coal dust, but a perfectly blended coal to brush your teeth. When well blended, place the mixture of coal dust in a small container to place on the shelf of your bathroom.
3. Wet your toothbrush with tap water. You must wash it all down before dipping in coal dust, not after.
4. Brush your teeth in a circular motion for two minutes. Remember to brush your teeth front, the rear and the chewing surfaces. Also, be sure to brush around your gum line. This area is often overlooked.
5. Rinse your mouth with water. Although coal dust is wonderful for your teeth, it is not the best for your stomach. Be sure to make several mouthfuls before spitting. This will remove all the small granules of your teeth.
Tips & Warnings
• If you need something to give you a rich smell and taste to your carbon powder, add three drops of oil to the mix cassia.
• Never use a product for cleaning teeth containing claimed alumina or tangy tartar potash. This could ruin your teeth very quickly.
Be smart when choosing a dentist
Undoubtedly, a dentist is part of that group of people you need in your life, and you must rely totally and completely. Your dentist can not only take care of you, but your whole family, and even seemingly minor processes as checks and cleanliness are of great importance. The teeth should be immaculately groomed, and a good dentist can save large amounts of money, time, and the pain of the execution of each process in the right way this is the mouth are teeth. You only get a game Want cleans, healthy teeth, you want comfort and no pain, and you do not erase your savings.
The ability to trust your dentist is vital. No one wants that terrible fear that arises in many of us on our way to the dentist. If you have a good trusted dentist, you must enter that place without worry. And you can find this comforting dentist know a few things first: what kind of person is your dentist? This may seem trivial, but it is quite the opposite. You want a dentist who is loving, caring and patient. This type of dental procedure is never easy, always ensure that you are comfortable and not in pain, and they really take the time to listen to your problem, instead of jumping to fix something that may not even be the cause.
It is important to try to talk to your dentist potential for a while, schedule a consultation, you want a dentist can establish a lasting relationship with, so take the time to know what type of person that is an investment of time. What is the comfort level of your dentist? Believe it or not, not all dentists comfort value among its priorities to meet you. Some dentists are hard, sharp, rough, or do not take time to assess the amount of solution of Novocain numbness or else you may need – at all levels need a little different. Try to find your dentist and find comments their service.
If these are not available, be sure to ask about the different options of comfort. Remember that there are different processes of thinking, based on gravity is the treatment. It is oral sedation, IV sedation and inhalation sedation appropriate for you? Find out what your potential dentist offer and how you feel about each of them. What are the costs of your dentist? Without some form of dental insurance or coverage, many dental procedures can be expensive. So expensive, in fact, that many people put off having made -. At the risk of their health not think that you cannot have treatment should be made for the cost.
This is the reason that a consultation with a dentist potential is vital. Find a dentist who is in his safe, and if you do not have insurance, find someone who is affordable or offer free assistance. Ask for the cost of treatment, as it may need in the future. Also, ask about payment plans. What procedures and technologies offered by your dentist? Some dentists offer different methods. A dentist can be a type of diagnosis and then refer you to a specialist or a dentist can perform various treatments and minor surgeries.
Life would be much easier if your dentist can handle most of the treatments himself. Find out what your dentist can do, and what you refer to a specialist. What is beyond your dentist can check, cleaning, and the cavity is filled? Can you perform root canals? Pulling Teeth? And do all this comfortably? Moreover, as technologically advanced is this dentist? You want someone who is current and updated, and basically has the best technology to provide the procedure, so you know you are getting an effective, durable treatment and comfortable.
3 Reasons why people do not go to the dentist
Despite the importance of regularly go to the dentist so that it helps us to maintain good oral hygiene, many people usually do not. The reasons for deciding not to go to the specialist are several, and here the main.
Fear of pain
Perhaps the most common of all is precisely this: the fear of pain. And it is that even though most dental procedures are not invasive or painful, the popular belief is that they are.
This myth is often due to several factors, such as personal experiences of pain with a doctor (either dentist or other specialist), or even a friend or relative who has told us of his own bad experience with the doctor.
A study in 2004 led to an outcome that about 30 of those interviewed by the way patients feels fear of pain. One fear of going to the dentist is that procedure means the effect of anesthesia is over, and begins to feel the pain.
Shame
Another major reason why people choose not to go to the dentist is shame. In fact, a study that year found that 27 out of 30 patients reported to shame as a fundamental reason why they do not go to this specialist.
Of course, it is quite reasonable cause, because when you go to the dentist leaves his mouth fully exposed for medical inspection. Fear occurs mainly when people think (or know) that does not have good oral hygiene, and is afraid of the dentist deemed by this fact.
Loss of control
Finally, another reason is the feeling of loss of control experienced by the patient in the clinic. This happens because while it is being reviewed or you are performing some kind of procedure, the patient has no control over what happens in their mouth. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

1. Hi Mr.Sandeep,
how to wright under give Sql Query in Linq ???
select coalesce(Clientname,’,’) + ‘-‘ + coalesce(clienturl,’,’) as HostHeaders, ClientName, ClientURL, Id from Client
1. Hi Krishna,
The ?? operator is called the null-coalescing operator and is used to define a default value for a nullable value types as well as reference types.
your Query can be written as :
Var myClient = from c in DBContext.Client
select new
{
HostHeaders = c.ClientName ?? ‘,’ + ‘-‘ + c.ClientUrl ?? ‘,’
};
Please check this out and let me know if you still face any issue.

How to cure cryptic tonsils
Updated April 17, 2017
Tonsils are two masses of prominent lymphoid tissues that are situated on each side of the throat. These pair of tissues act as part of the body's immune system, filtering harmful microorganisms including viruses and bacteria as they enter the nose or the mouth. When the tonsils get inflamed, it will result to a condition called tonsillitis. And recurring tonsillitis can lead to chronic cryptic tonsillitis-- a case where sick tonsils contain many small hidden pockets (crypts) to where food particles and other debris are trapped. These particles contain bacteria and dead cells that will eventually form an unpleasantly odorous white particles called tonsilliths or tonsil stones. Many cases of chronic cryptic tonsillitis are often mild and do not require surgery.
Take some antibiotics. This can be beneficial in providing temporary relief and also helps to get rid of bacteria present within the crypts. In some cases where tonsils are severely inflamed and make swallowing difficult, patient may be required to stay at the hospital for administration of intravenous fluid.
Boil a cup of vinegar. Settle it for a bit until it's tolerably warm enough and then gargle the solution. This will help clear off the hidden pockets (crypts), provides transient pain relief and prevents formation of tonsil stones.
Get the tonsilliths out without scratching your tonsils. This can be done by using a cotton swab to carefully pick the tonsil stones out of the pits or crypts. Performing this method is quite difficult since it can trigger the gag reflex that can make you cough or feel like vomiting. If you are not sure how to do this, visit your doctor to safely remove your tonsil stones.
Ask your doctor if laser treatment or surgical procedure is applicable for your case. Laser treatment helps in making the surfaces of the tonsils smooth thereby getting rid of the hidden pockets or crypts. Surgical procedure called tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) may also be an option for worse cases of cryptic tonsillitis.
Tip
Contact your doctor immediately if your cryptic tonsillitis is associated with high fever, intense pain in the throat area, swallowing difficulties, severe sore throat and breathing difficulties.
Things You'll Need
• Antibiotics
• Vinegar
• Cotton swabs

Talk:Rebecca Lush
Resume?
This article reads a bit more like a resume, I would be interested to know who wrote it. [unsigned]
If you are asking if this article was self authored, then the answer is that it wasn't. I have been authoring a lot of articles around transport, roads, road protest and aviation protest (check my contribs link) and this article was one of the ones I have created/worked on. Before you ask, it was written with her approval, and yes, she did provide some of the raw material but I only including content that was verifiable. What would you suggest should be added? Btw, who are you? PeterIto (talk) 12:00, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Factual Bias
It's factually biased - the road building programme hasn't stopped at all. I travel regularly on the new Leighton Buzzard Bypass, eventhough that was subject to some half-hearted protests by a similar group (see http://users.cooptel.net/SeanKelly/bypass/pressrelease/roadblockpress1701.html) - who appeared to give up when faced by a community actually in favour of the bypass.
In order for it to have more authority the article should not simply cite the successful campaigns, but also the unsuccessful ones too, and not just the Leighton Buzzard Bypass either. There was a recent very good Westminster Hall debate on upgrading the A47 from Great Yarmouth. http://www.theyworkforyou.com/whall/?id=2008-03-12a.106.0 - which indicates that there is still Conservative enthusiasm for a road building programme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgb62uk (talk • contribs) 15:07, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
* What phrase are you objecting to exactly and what bias? The article does mention that in 1997 'most remaining road schemes were cancelled' (references) and then that new road program was proposed in 2002 (referenced). There is no mention of conservative transport policy in the article at all so I am not sure where you are coming from on that one. I suggest that the Road protest (UK) article is a better place for some of the issues you are raising. PeterIto (talk) 22:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Notability
Firstly you don't need someones approval or input to write an article about them on wikipedia. Secondly the article reads like propaganda describing a relatively unimportant person of little noteriety. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs) 13:58, 9 May 2008
* You may not agree with her POV, but if you follow the references I think you will have to agree that notability is not an issue for this person. PeterIto (talk) 07:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Unfounded claims
The article makes unfounded claims about her that just aren't true about her individually, nor that one person could have done that - eg "She was a founder of the UK's 1990's direct action road protest movement.", "Rebecca co-founded Road Alert!" (if co-founded means 2 people, because there were a handful), "She also co-founded the M11 direct action protests ".
And bits like "In December 2006 Rebecca highlighted four priority protests" make this whole article sound like a vanity piece, even if not written by her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
* I have recovered the article from some earlier vandalism and reworked some of the content. I agree it was a little to puffy in places and I have toned some of it down. Also, I think the claims do all stand up to scrutiny now. PeterEastern (talk) 22:28, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

William Byrd and William Bradford were colonial writers who took two differing approaches towards their work while accounting for their pilgrimage and early settlement to the New World. Their most renowned works were A History of the Dividing Line and Of Plymouth Plantation respectively. Bradford came to America after a long exile in Holland where he was running away from persecution in England together with a group called “Separatists” who saw no hope to reform the Church of England unlike other Puritans. On the other hand, Byrd came to America as a merchant equipped with extensive inheritance from his uncle.
Bradford used Puritans’ plain style of writing which never used figures of speech and was simple and to the point. This is seen when he explains the first experiences of settlers when they arrived. The settlers had no one to welcome them nor bars to entertain them, no houses or towns for them to rest and get help (31). This shows how it was difficult to arrive in a barren land despite their sailing hardships. In contrast, Byrd wrote about his encounter with the New World differently. Byrd ridiculed what was taking place. A good instance of his technique is where he described the rapid immigration of the settlers to the New world as “modish frenzy” (50). This shows that it was a fashion of the time. He also criticizes settlers who he say the spent fifty Pounds to build a church whereas they spent five hundred Pounds on a tavern.
Bradford and Byrd viewed Indians as a means of survival. Byrd engages two Indians to hunt for them (159). They used them for their own gains because they did not know how to hunt for meat. However, Indians were still being viewed as an enemy to many of the Anglo-Europeans. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Choosing between AWS and Azure (AWS vs Azure)
AWS vs Azure which is better?
AWS and Azure are both top-tier cloud services providers, but they differ in their approach to pricing, features, and target markets. Many organisations use both AWS and Azure as a cloud service in their cloud deployments so that they are not restricted to one supplier.
What is Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service. It offers a wide range of services, including compute, storage, networking, and many more. Azure also offers a wide variety of SDKs and tools to make developing on Azure a powerful option for a development team.
What is Amazon web services AWS?
AWS is a cloud platform offered by Amazon. It offers a wide range of services, including compute, storage, networking, and many more. AWS also offers a wide variety of SDKs and tools to make developing on AWS easy.
AWS vs Azure how do they compare?
Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure are the most used cloud platforms with a combined market share that dwarfs the rest of the major suppliers including Google. Of the two, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the most used platform, with Azure showing fast growth, particularly amongst enterprise businesses.
As cloud procurement and technologies have improved, there have been trends in which organisations have moved all their infrastructure to a single cloud provider to simplify their IT systems while others have used the flexibility of multiple cloud providers platforms to use a combination of cloud providers based on the best individual solutions that they offer – for example, taking advantage of lower storage costs for archiving with one provider whilst utilising a higher class of virtual machine elsewhere to maximise application performance.
There are competing benefits between the services and facilities offered by the major cloud providers, but there are also similarities and in some cases, the choice of which platform is best will come down to one or two factors such as cost, or perceived compatibility. It can even be a decision that is made based on the preferences of the consultant who developed the virtualisation strategy.

There are some key aspects of the market that are worth considering when comparing Azure vs AWS:
• Familiarity – As a Microsoft product, Azure offers a familiar means of usage that, whilst not a reason on its own to choose a platform, should also not be underestimated. Users can employ the same coding languages they are familiar with in other Apps meaning that the learning curve for experienced Windows apps developers is shallower.
• Support – In the UK, there is an extensive network of Microsoft Gold Partners who can manage Azure, and there are also many reliable sources online including TechNet and the Developers Network. Amazon too has the same range of local and online resources to support businesses who are choosing to move to the cloud. There is also an expanding AWS Partner network. On balance, both cloud providers have a similar mature partner network.
• Hybrid cloud - Both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web services AWS offer the capability to set up connections between your on-premise infrastructure and their cloud services.
• Virtual Machines - Both platforms offer VMs with Azure they are part of the 'compute' whereas AWS cloud refers to them as an 'EC2'. Both Azure and AWS offer VMs with Windows or Linux as the O/S.
• Cloud Storage - Each cloud platform offers multiple types of cloud storage services from blob storage, object storage, and virtual hard drives with different service levels and speeds with temporary storage and persistent storage options as well. Both platforms also offer multiple relational database solutions from open source platforms like MySQL to Microsoft SQL.
• Cloud Platform - Both AWS and Azure offer software as a service SaaS, Platform as a service PaaS and Infrastructure as a service. For more background on this please read our article about SaaS, PaaS and IaaS in AWS.
• Marketplace – Amazon’s services marketplace is extensive, offering access to consulting partners around the world with specialisms in different areas as well as applications and plug-ins for the platform that support management and maintenance. Azure offers a similar range of products. So AWS and Azure both have marketplaces with similar cloud services from the cloud provider or certified partners.
• Container Service - Both platforms offer a container service using Kubernetes. For more details on this please read our article about Kubernetes monitoring.
• Global Public Cloud Solutions - Azure and AWS have multiple regions across the globe including multiple data centres with options for resilient failover between data centres within the same region. Both offer cloud computing services across the globe, although for both AWS and Azure the services offered in regions or data centres can vary.
• Software Development Kit (SDK) – The Azure SDK allows users to run a version of it on their own machines as Azure Stack – provided that those machines meet the specifications. This allows for a unique virtual private cloud VPC/public cloud environment to be created with the same systems running on both. Amazon also offers a variety of SDKs and programming tool kits for AWS. But when comparing Azure and AWS SDKs only Microsoft Azure offers an SKD for the native cloud technology stack.
• Cost & Pricing Model AWS vs Azure – A key consideration for anyone choosing between AWS vs Azure is the cost of using the platform for the long term. In fact, like for like comparisons between resource and subscriptions show that the costs are remarkably similar – the market has become commoditised. Both cloud providers offer a range of options from a pay as you go pricing model all the way up to long term reserved instances.
• Cloud Management Software - Both service providers have cloud management tools which can be set up for their cloud services, however, they are native tools like the AWS Cost Explorer. A lot of businesses use a third-party cloud management solution like CloudOps to manage their cloud deployments across providers and regions.
• AWS VS Azure Market Share - In an article on The register, as of 2 May 2022 AWS, Microsoft and Google collectively have 65% of the global cloud market outside of China. Amazon are estimated to have 33%, Microsoft 22% and google 10% with the next 10 companies having 21% collectively and others 14%. The advantage of choosing from the top two cloud providers is obvious.
• Other services - When considering AWS vs Azure you might also be looking for other services such as Machine learning, Artificial intelligence or an environment for big data. Both cloud providers have offerings in these areas including platform as a service and infrastructure as a service offerings.
AWS vs Azure Conclusion
There’s no doubt that Amazon is the main player in the cloud market – but Microsoft and Google have been late entrants to the market by comparison. Furthermore, they both have experience chasing down competitors and they both have the money to do so. We can expect to see the market become more competitive, but in the meantime, organisations should still ensure they have a strong understanding of their needs before choosing between cloud providers – for the time being, this is still an industry of niche offerings.
AWS and Azure are two of the most popular cloud providers on the market. They both offer a wide range of services, but AWS has a slight edge over Azure when it comes to global reach. AWS also offers more pricing options, while Azure has more features in its SDK. In the end, it's up to the individual business to decide which provider is best for them.

About Ramki
Ramki is a Application Developer working in the C-DAC, Pune. He has Extensive Design and Development experience in Java, Java Server Faces, Servlets, Java Persistent API (Hibernate), CDI, EJB and experience in applying Design Patterns of JavaEE Architecture.
SQL Injection in Java Application
In this post we will discuss what is an SQL Injection attack. and how its may affect any web application its use the back end database. Here i concentrate on java web application. Open Web Application Security Project(OWAP) listed that SQL Injection is the top vulnerability attack for web application. Hacker’s Inject the SQL code in web request to the web application and take the control of back end database, even that back end database is not directly connected to Internet. And we will see how to solve and prevent the SQL Injection in java Web Application.
For this purpose we need 1 tools. these tool are completely open source. SQL Map – SqlMap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL Injection. we can get it from here.
SQLInjection
SQL injection is the technique to extract the database information through web application.
Scenario:
We have one database server [MySQL] and web application server [Tomcat]. consider that database server is not connected to internet. but its connected with application server. Now we will see using web application how to extract the information using sql-injection method.
Before see the sql-injection, we create small web application. It contain single jsp page like this
<form action='userCheck'>
<input type='text' name='user' value=''/>
<input type='submit' value='Submit'/>
</form>
In userCheck Servlet receives the user input field and connect to databse server and fire the sql query based on user input and receive the ResultSet and iterate it print into the web page.
userCheck servlet
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType('text/html;charset=UTF-8');
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
try {
String user = request.getParameter('user');
Connection conn = null;
String url = 'jdbc:mysql://192.168.2.128:3306/';
String dbName = 'anvayaV2';
String driver = 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver';
String userName = 'root';
String password = '';
try {
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url + dbName, userName, password);
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String query = 'SELECT * FROM User where userId='' + user + ''';
out.println('Query : ' + query);
System.out.printf(query);
ResultSet res = st.executeQuery(query);
out.println('Results');
while (res.next()) {
String s = res.getString('username');
out.println('\t\t' + s);
}
conn.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} finally {
out.close();
}
When we execute the above code. In normal input execution look like follows
When we give the normal value like ‘ramki’ then click the submit button then output like this
Its perfectly correct in normal behaviour. What happens when I put some special character or some sql statement in input box like this
when we click the submit button then it show all rows in my table like this
It is a big security breach in my application. what happened… is one kind of sql injection.
Let’s see what happened.
When I enter normal value in input box my servlet receives and substitute in the sql query and execute it.
SELECT * FROM User where userId='ramki'
it’s correct and we got correct output.
What happens when I put sdfssd’ or ‘1’=’1
SELECT * FROM User where userId =’sdfssd’ or ‘1’=’1
its means
SELECT * FROM User where userId ='sdfssd' or '1'='1'
like this. So our query is altered. now new query have 2 condition. 2nd condition always true. 1st condition may be or may not be true. but these 2 condition are connected with or logic. So where clause always true for all rows. the result is they bring all rows from our tables.
This is called blind sql injection. If u want more details of sql injection the check here
Now we can enter the sql statement directly in input box
like
ramki’ UNION SELECT * FROM mysql.`user` u —
then
SELECT * FROM User where userId=’ramki’ UNION SELECT * FROM mysql.`user` u —
then its means
SELECT * FROM User where userId ='ramki' UNION SELECT * FROM mysql.`user` u --'
Here they wont use * because its not matched with first table. So they find how many columns then use Union with second table.the user particular column they want. As result the get mysql database user information its exposed through our web application.
sqlmap
It comes with a powerful detection engine, many niche features for the ultimate penetration tester and a broad range of switches lasting from database fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database
Install the sqlmap in ur system or use BackTrack Linux
Here I used backtrack linux, because it’s already pre installed lots of applications like sqlmap.
In backtrack, sqlmap is located in /pentest/web/scanner/sqlmap
sqlmap commands
retrieve all databases
./sqlmap.py -u http://localhost:8080/SQLInject/userCheck?user=ramki --dbs
retrieve all tables
./sqlmap.py -u http://localhost:8080/SQLInject/userCheck?user=ramki -D test --tables
retrieve all columns from particular table
./sqlmap.py -u http://localhost:8080/SQLInject/userCheck?user=ramki -D test -T User --columns
Dump all column valued from particular table
./sqlmap.py -u http://localhost:8080/SQLInject/userCheck?user=ramki -D test -T User --dump
Dump some column valued from particular table
./sqlmap.py -u http://localhost:8080/SQLInject/userCheck?user=ramki -D test -T User -C userId,password --dump
See the video for full demo (watch in HD):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=C5PQ86nWMkM
How To Prevent SQL Injection
• Before substitute into query, we need to do the validation. for remove ir escaped the special character like single quote, key words like select, Union…
• Use Prepared Statement with placeholder
PreparedStatement preparedStatement=conn.prepareStatement('SELECT * FROM usercheck where username=?') ;
preparedStatement.setString(1, user);
that setXXX() method do all the validation and escaping the special charcter
Now if use same blind sql injection like
sdfssd’ or ‘1’=’1 then
SELECT * FROM User where userId='sdfssd\' or \'1\'=\'1'
Here all special character are escaped When we use JPA kind of ORM tools like Hibernate, EclipseLink, TopLink that time also may be sqlinjection is possible.
To prevent the SQL injection we need to use NamedQuery instead of normal Query. Because NamedQuery internally used PreparedStement but normal query used norma Stement in java.
Normal Query in JPA
String q='SELECT r FROM User r where r.userId=''+user+''';
Query query=em.createQuery(q);
List users=query.getResultList();
So don’t use normal query, use Named query like this
Query query=em.createNamedQuery('User.findByUserId');
query.setParameter('userId', user);
List users=query.getResultList();
U can download the demo code from GitHub (or) Google code

1. Just, use parameters in queries.
2. Y U NO USE HIBERNATE WITH CRITERIA?
3. this post is long overdue. this is no longer a problem over 15 years
• As a newby who is trying to come up to speed in stopping injection attacks, I highly disagree. For people like me, this information is highly relevant and important.
4. Agreed with James,
my question to author , did you apply all these sql injection techniques while running in browser or in eclipse. Because when I am doing these same things(in eclipse browser) after click on submit button blank page appeared.
Please confirm.
5. I would like to propose a Java custom Annotation as a solution for this: You can take a look at this tiny library : https://github.com/rkpunjal/sql-injection-safe/
This verifies if datastrings are sql-injection-safe. This provides an annotation. The usage looks something like this.
private @SQLInjectionSafe String id;
and a utility Method whose usage is like this:
SqlSafeUtil.isSqlInjectionSafe(“my-string-value”)

What are diaphragm pumps used for?
Because diaphragm pumps are so versatile, they are used in virtually every industry that requires fluid transfer. They are often used for dewatering or water removal across many different industries. They are used for filling, dispensing and metering due to their efficiency and accuracy.
What is a diaphragm spray pump? Diaphragm Sprayers: Diaphragm pumps feature a flat, diaphragm inside of a housing held together by screws. When pumping, the diaphragm flexes up and down to create pressure. These pumps tend to be more durable because there is no contact with the cylinder wall. Diaphragm pumps can reach up to 60 psi.
Is diaphragm or piston sprayer better? Piston – A piston pump is the better option when spraying anything at a distance, such as trees and bushes, because of its higher pressure. They are normally a little less expensive and easier to repair. However, they aren’t as durable as a diaphragm pump.
What are the disadvantages of a diaphragm pump?
Diaphragm Pumps Information
Advantages Disadvantages
Seal-less and oil-free Low maximum speed
Self-priming up to 6 meters Not very energy efficient
Simple cleaning/maintenance Pulsed flow – requires dampener for reduction
Versatile design and function (can handle most media types)

How does a diaphragm airless paint sprayer work? Diaphragm pumps In a diaphragm pump, a rod powered by a motor operates diaphragms that expand and contract, taking in fluid through the inlet valve and expelling it out of the gun.
What are diaphragm pumps used for? – Related Questions
How does a piston diaphragm pump work?
Each piston is located in a separate oil chamber that equalizes the pressure of the oil behind the diaphragm to the media-side pressure. During the discharge stroke of the piston, the oil is compressed, causing the respective membrane to move outward and push the liquid out of the pump head.
Does diaphragm pump need electricity?
The pumps are self-priming so they can run dry without any damage and because they are powered entirely from compressed air, there is no need for electricity.
Can a diaphragm pump run dry?
Double Diaphragm Pumps Can Run Dry Without Damaging the Pump or System. AODD pumps can run dry for an extended period of time without damaging the pump or its components. It’s very common for pumps to run dry.
What is the application rate of a backpack sprayer?
How far can a diaphragm pump work?
The Diaphragms operate the internal valves on the side of the pump which help to control flow direction and fluid quantity being transferred to the discharge outlet. Tapflo’s Diaphragm Pumps are able to self-prime up to 5m from a dry suction pipe or 8m from a wetted pipe.
What is a linear diaphragm pump?
Linear diaphragm pumps are equipped with linear magnetic and vibrating armature motor types. Linear pumps use electromagnetic force to move the piston or diaphragm up and down, and pump the air or liquid.
How do you pump a backpack sprayer?
How does back pack sprayer work?
Most backpack sprayers feature a pressure vessel. This provides constant pressure, ensuring the liquid is sprayed evenly. Some backpack sprayers are equipped with a pressure gauge on the valve, which indicates the spray pressure. A constant pressure is important for a uniform spray pattern.
How long do diaphragm pumps last?
In general, diaphragms on metering pumps last about 6 to 12 months; gears on gear pumps last about 3 to 6 months; and motors usually last for years.
How high can a diaphragm pump lift water?
A safe, average range would be between 8 to 15 feet (2.44 to 4.57 meters) depending on the pump’s elastomers.
What is the major advantage of a diaphragm pump over a centrifugal pump?
3 BIG ADVANTAGES OF USING DIAPHRAGM AGRICULTURAL PUMPS The 3 main advantages of a diaphragm pump compared to a centrifugal pump are: Excellent head and self-priming capacity. Good dry running capacity. Resistance to abrasion and corrosion.
What PSI should latex paint be?
For spraying latex paint, there are two pressures to keep in mind, depending on what you are painting: A 26 – 29 PSI is suggested for a base coat on the surface being painted; A clear coat is better served by a lower 2 – 3 PSI for better atomization (remember that from earlier?) and flow.
What pressure should I set my airless sprayer?
1500 – 3000 psi
1500 – 3000 psi) and is partially atomized through a small tip. Full atomization is achieved by adding a small amount of air (5 – 35 psi) to the edges of the spray fan – resulting in a softer pattern, more control, higher transfer efficiency, and less overspray.
What is spray pump?
Can you spray oil based paint with an airless sprayer?
Airless pain sprayers work with oil-based paint or stain. HVLP paint sprayers work with oil-based paint, but thicker paints such as water-based latex can clog the sprayer.
How much suction does a diaphragm pump have?
Normally, the suction lift of a diaphragm pump is limited to that corresponding to 14 feet of water at sea level. This amounts to a lift of approximately eight feet when pumping pulp containing 50% solids when the specific gravity of the dry solids is 2.65.
Can diaphragm pumps pump air?
Air-operated diaphragm pumps are positive displacement pumps that transfer liquids in wet commercial pumping applications. They run on compressed air and move slurries, solvents, and other high-viscosity liquids.
What is the difference between a centrifugal and a diaphragm style pump?
Centrifugal pumps are simple compared to diaphragm pumps. With so few moving parts, a centrifugal pump needs less maintenance and can last longer than a diaphragm pump. A centrifugal pump has no gearbox, diaphragms, check valves, sight glass, pulsation damper, gear lube, or crankcase oil.
Does Aodd pump require electricity?
AODD pumps require no electricity (rather, they require compressed air to operate) and can be grounded for safe, reliable operation in explosive environments. This is critical when pumping flammable liquids or when a pump is in an environment where fumes are present.
What causes diaphragm pump failure?
The liquid is leaking from your pump Diaphragm rupture: Causes of a failed or ruptured diaphragm include overuse, abrasion, chemical attack or overpressure to name a few. A rupture means fluid will leak into the air valve and leak through the pump’s muffler.
Does a diaphragm pump need to be primed?
Air operated diaphragm pumps self-prime by creating a pressure differential in the diaphragm chamber – which draws in air and pulls the fluid into the suction port. Avoid failures and maintenance costs by ensuring your centrifugal pumps are always primed before operating.
Can a diaphragm pump Cavitate?
Cavitation can occur in the suction valve of a diaphragm pump if the valve is designed improperly or the inlet pressure is not high enough during operation of the pump. 1D analysis of suction valve motion may be helpful to identify cavitation issue during operation of a diaphragm pump.
Does Stihl SR 430 have a pressure pump?
Can a diaphragm pump pull a vacuum?
Modern multi-stage diaphragm pumps can provide vacuum levels throughout the entire rough vacuum range (atmosphere to below 1 mbar/torr) providing vacuum levels suitable for many tasks. Standard models can perform degassing of liquids, and even be used as backing pumps for wide range turbomolecular pumps.
How do you size a diaphragm pump?
What are diaphragm pumps used for?
So, the rule of thumb is as follows: take the liquid flow rate of the pump you’re considering and multiply that number by 0.75. That’s the CFM you’ll need for most cases. For example, if you’re looking at the SimpleSpirits 43, its liquid flow rate is 49 GPM.
Are diaphragm pumps loud?
Diaphragm pumps are also quiet because valves are usually made of rubber. However, to achieve high pressure that compares with plunger pumps, valves need to be manufactured out of rigid materials like stainless steel which produce a mechanical noise.
Can I use a diaphragm pump to pump water?
What is the difference between a centrifugal and a diaphragm style pump?
Centrifugal pumps are simple compared to diaphragm pumps. With so few moving parts, a centrifugal pump needs less maintenance and can last longer than a diaphragm pump. A centrifugal pump has no gearbox, diaphragms, check valves, sight glass, pulsation damper, gear lube, or crankcase oil.
Can you flow through a diaphragm pump?
Can you flow through a diaphragm pump?
WHAT KIND OF FLUID DOES A DIAPHRAGM PUMP TRANSFER? Diaphragm pumps will move nearly any kind of fluid. Some common examples of fluids pumped using a diaphragm pump are water, oil and acid. Diaphragm pumps are capable of pumping high viscosity fluids from adhesives and gear oils to hand lotions, surfactants and resins.
Will a diaphragm pump pull a vacuum?
Modern multi-stage diaphragm pumps can provide vacuum levels throughout the entire rough vacuum range (atmosphere to below 1 mbar/torr) providing vacuum levels suitable for many tasks. Standard models can perform degassing of liquids, and even be used as backing pumps for wide range turbomolecular pumps.

US STOCKS-Wall St rallies as Powell cements peak rate bets
By Stephen Culp
NEW YORK, Dec 1 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks advanced on Friday, starting December with a broad rally as remarks from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell bolstered the view that interest rates have peaked.
All three major U.S. stock indexes were higher, with economically sensitive transports .DJT and smallcaps .RUT enjoying the most robust gains.
"People are bargain hunting. The stocks that haven't participated in the rally this year are powering the market higher," said Jay Hatfield, portfolio manager at InfraCap in New York. "This is clearly a broad-based rally, and it has legs."
All three indexes are on course to notch their fifth consecutive weekly percentage gains, the day after wrapping up a banner month in which the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq registered their biggest one-month percentage gains since July 2022, and the Dow close at its highest level since January 2022.
If the S&P 500 ends at or above its current level, it will be the highest close for the benchmark index so far this year.
In prepared remarks, Powell acknowledged the central bank's need to "move forward carefully" amid signs of economic softening, as the risks of over- and under-tightening its monetary policy are becoming more balanced.
"(Powell) used the word 'balanced,' and the message he's sending is the Fed's not going to change its rhetoric, but things are going the way they want them to go and they're not going to raised rates again," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York. "They're done, they're finished, and that's what the market thinks."
Data released on Friday showed U.S. manufacturing continues to contract as factories contend with decreasing new orders, falling inventories and labor pressures.
At 2:14 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 258.01 points, or 0.72%, to 36,208.9, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 21.94 points, or 0.48%, at 4,589.74 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 51.37 points, or 0.36%, at 14,277.59.
Among the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500, real estate .SPLRCR notched the most robust percentage gains, while communication services .SPLRCL was the sole decliner.
TeslaTSLA.O underperformed megacap peers, falling 1.2% as the electric vehicle maker priced its Cybertruck above its initial forecast.
PfizerPFE.N slid 4.6% as the drugmaker dropped plans to advance a twice-daily version of oral weight-loss drug danuglipron into late-stage studies, delaying its entry into the lucrative market.
U.S.-listed shares of AlibabaBABA.N slipped 1.4% following Morgan Stanley's downgrade of the e-commerce giant's stock.
Marvell TechnologyMRVL.O shed 5.4% after the chipmaker's fourth-quarter revenue forecast fell short of Street estimates.
Ulta BeautyULTA.O surged 10.3 after the cosmetics retailer raised the lower end of its annual net sales forecast and named Paula Oyibo its new chief financial officer.
Paramount GlobalPARA.O jumped 9.6% following a report the media company and Apple AAPL.O have discussed bundling their streaming services at a discount.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by a 5.50-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 3.00-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
The S&P 500 posted 54 new 52-week highs and one new low; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 87 new highs and 68 new lows.

The Mesa Verde region is located in the Four Corners area of the Southwest. It is called the "Four Corners" because it is the only place in the United States where the corners of four states meet: Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico.
The climate in the Mesa Verde regions were cold winter's, it was snowy near the colorado mountains. And warm and dry summers.
The Pueblo Indians Were very skilled farmers, and during their lifespan they had many achievements. One of their most famous achievements were pueblo’s and they were really good at building them. The pueblo’s are also ancestors to the Anasazi who were skilled builders, and did other things | FINEWEB-EDU |
The Obama Nation
The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality is a book by Jerome Corsi opposing Barack Obama's candidacy for President of the United States. The book alleges Obama's "extreme leftism", "extensive connections with Islam and radical politics", "naïve... foreign policy", past drug use and connections to corrupt backers, among other things. The book has been criticized for containing factual errors, for being racist, and for being a political "attack book" containing smears, falsehoods, and innuendo.
Content
Corsi said his purpose in writing the book was to defeat Obama in the 2008 United States presidential election. In the book, he recounts Barack Obama's upbringing and early political career in Chicago and argues that Obama is an "extreme leftis[t]" who should not be elected president. The book claims to document "Obama's extensive connections with Islam and radical politics", his "religious affiliation with ... black-liberation theology", and his associations with controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright, fundraiser Tony Rezko, and radical activists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, formerly of the Weather Underground. The book also argues that Obama supports "far-left domestic policy" and "naïve... foreign policy predicated on the reduction of the military", and that he is therefore unsuitable to be the President of the United States.
The book opens with a quote by Andy Martin, who The Nation, The Washington Post, and The New York Times have identified as the primary source for the allegations that Obama is concealing an alleged Muslim faith, rumors which began shortly after his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Author and publication
The book's author, Jerome Corsi, has written on a number of controversial topics. In 2007 he wrote a book exposing a supposed plot to replace the United States dollar with international currency. He accused a "Muslim terrorist group" of supporting John McCain, and called for the impeachment of George W. Bush. He endorsed the 9/11 Truth Movement, which questions official and mainstream accounts of the September 11, 2001 attacks. During the 2004 United States presidential election, he co-wrote Unfit for Command, a book associated with Swift Vets and POWs for Truth that was critical of Democratic candidate John Kerry. He is a regular contributor at conservative internet publication WorldNetDaily, which is well known for publicizing conspiracy theories about Obama's citizenship.
The book was published by Threshold Editions, a division of CBS-owned Simon & Schuster, whose chief editor was Republican Party political strategist Mary Matalin. The title is intentionally assonant with abomination.
Corsi was detained by Kenyan immigration officials and then deported for attempting to promote the book without a work permit.
Obama campaign response
In response to the book, the Obama campaign issued a 40-page response, "unfit for publication" (playing on the Corsi co-authored 2004 book Unfit for Command ) on the campaign website fightthesmears.com, objecting to assertions made in the book and alleging factual errors. The campaign also issued a press release, reading in part:
This book is nothing but a series of lies that were long ago discredited, written by an individual who was discredited after he wrote a similar book to help George Bush and Dick Cheney get re-elected four years ago... The reality is that there are many lie-filled books like this in the works cobbled together from the Internet to make money off of a presidential campaign... We will respond to these smears forcefully.
The Obama campaign also said it would "push back against this year's vicious Republican attack book." In addition, the Democratic National Committee joined the "counteroffensive" telling its supporters by email: "The media have shown that they aren't going to stop him. It's up to you to spread the truth, so here it is. Below you will find the facts about Corsi and his desperate fabrications."
Other responses
When asked for a comment about the book, John McCain said, "Gotta keep your sense of humor," but his campaign said McCain did not hear the question, and the campaign had no comment. In response to the book's publication, Senator John Kerry, the subject of a previous book by Corsi during his 2004 campaign for presidency, launched the website "Truth Fights Back" to rebut the claims. Media Matters for America, which describes itself as a progressive organization dedicated to countering "conservative misinformation in the U.S. media", has given details of what it says are numerous instances of inaccuracies in the book and in Corsi's statements promoting the work. Paul Waldman of Media Matters appeared with Corsi on Larry King Live when they discussed the claims. MSNBC's Contessa Brewer confronted Corsi with these alleged inaccuracies; Corsi disputed Media Matters' allegations.
Reception and critical review
Released on August 1, 2008, the book was #4 in sales in nonfiction during the first week of its release and subsequently rose to #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover non-fiction books within two weeks, due in part to higher bulk sales. This has led some Obama supporters to suspect that conservative groups have made bulk purchases to inflate sales, something Corsi denies. On September, 8 it was second to Tori Spelling's book. Corsi posted his first Obamabucks from the sale of his book on the wall of a coffee shop in Washington.
Corsi's book has been criticized for inaccuracies by news organizations such as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, U.S. News & World Report, the Associated Press, Time magazine, Newsweek, The Daily Telegraph, Editor & Publisher, The Guardian, CNN, The Independent, Politifact.com, and The Boston Globe. According to The New York Times, "several of the book's accusations, in fact, are unsubstantiated, misleading or inaccurate." Peter Wehner of Commentary wrote: "conservatives should not hitch their hopes to" Corsi's book because "it seems to be riddled with factual errors — some relatively minor (like asserting that Obama does not mention the birth of his half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, in Dreams from My Father; Obama does mention her), and some significant (suggesting that Obama favors withdrawing troops from Afghanistan; he wants to do the opposite)."
The Washington Post called it an "innuendo-filled, mistake-riddled biography" in its online election diary The Trail. Kate Linthicum of the Los Angeles Times wrote "being No. 1 [on the best seller list] doesn't necessarily mean being accurate" in regard to Corsi's claims about Obama's religious faith. Politico reported that Corsi's book "left a trail of wild theories, vitriol and dogma that have called into question his credibility." The British newspaper The Independent called Corsi's book "a hatchet job on Obama". According to Slate, "neither Corsi nor Matalin responded to e-mails from me asking whether they intended to correct any errors in The Obama Nation – it would be a miracle if there were none" [emphasis in original].
The book also contains what The Washington Post describes as "potentially offensive passages" about Barack Obama's personal and family life, such as one stating that Obama is less identified with his American roots than his "African blood". Corsi also writes: "Obama's mother chose another Third World prospect for her second husband, a second man of color, to be her mate", noted by CNN as "lines some might consider racially insensitive." The Los Angeles Times also pointed to a line by Corsi claiming "Obama wants to will all the white blood out of himself so he can become pure black," citing "bigoted comments." The Chicago Sun-Times called it "an abomination," and said the book "exploits racial fears [and] hate in [an] effort to scare white America." Corsi has drawn criticism for scheduling an appearance to promote the book on The Political Cesspool, a "pro-White" radio talk show described as "white nationalist" by the Southern Poverty Law Center. He previously appeared on the show on July 20, but he cancelled his August 17 appearance, citing a change of "travel plans."
Disputed accuracy
The New York Times noted the book's assertion that Obama attended an incendiary sermon by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in Chicago on a date when Obama was in fact giving a speech in Florida. The article further noted Corsi's assertion that Obama had "yet to answer" if he had stopped using drugs. The State Journal-Register of Springfield, Illinois reported Obama's response to a question about his drug use: "I haven't done anything since I was 20 years old." Corsi told the Times that "self-reporting, by people who have used drugs, as to when they stopped is inherently unreliable." (Obama has also answered the question in the autobiography that Corsi reviews in his book. ) In the book, Corsi says that Obama may still be using drugs today, but does not provide evidence for this claim.
The Times further noted that while Obama is a Christian, the book contains statements arguing that he has "extensive connections to Islam". One of Corsi's statements is that Obama's childhood friend, Zulfin Adi, had stated that Obama was a practicing Muslim. Contradicting that, Kim Barker, a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune reported: "Interviews with dozens of former classmates, teachers, neighbors and friends show that Obama was not a regular practicing Muslim when he was in Indonesia". Corsi also fails to reveal that Adi later said he couldn't be certain about his claims and confessed to knowing Obama for only a few months.
Corsi provided the wrong date of the Obamas' marriage, according to the Obama campaign.
When discussing the house Barack and Michelle Obama bought in 2005, Corsi cites a February 1, 2008 Salon.com article for the claim that Chicago businessman Tony Rezko "found the house for Obama." In a 2007 interview with the staff of the Chicago Sun-Times, Barack Obama asserted that it was his wife who found the house.
FactCheck described the book as "a mishmash of unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies and outright falsehoods." FactCheck's review also stated that, "A comprehensive review of all the false claims in Corsi's book would itself be a book." | WIKI |

How to Train for Your Body Type
Do you know your body type? All too often fitness seekers pursue training programs and methods that do not cater to their body type. This can easily result in a lack of gains and even unintentional gains. Be sure to identify your body type and follow the appropriate training method to ensure that you do not waste another trip to the gym.
Ectomorph Training
Ectomorphs typically have a difficult time building new muscle mass due to their higher metabolic rates. Genetically, they exhibit smaller bone structure and are naturally quite lean. Due to this, it is best to avoid extensive cardio which leads to increased calorie expenditure. While cardio may be beneficial for the cardiovascular system, it does not lead to increased muscle building.
Fitness experts advise ectomorphs to perform heavy compound movements that recruit several muscle groups simultaneously. Exercises such as deadlifts, squats, bench press and bent over rows stimulate a more significant release of growth hormone than isolation movements. As a result, these exercises enhance muscle growth. Ectomorphs should also limit physical activity outside of the gym as it reduces the muscles’ ability to recover before each training session. Eating enough is also critical to stimulating new muscle growth.
Endomorph Training
Endomorphs tend to have slower metabolic rates than the other two body types. Genetically, this body type exhibits a square appearance and heavy bone structure. As a result, more cardio and higher training volume and frequency are most beneficial. Endomorphs can handle a higher training volume and are advised to perform both higher reps and sets to help reduce body fat and build new muscle tissue.
Weight training should be the focus of an endomorph’s workout, as more muscle tissue helps increase metabolic rate. Endomorphs should focus on maximum intensity during training sessions to achieve the greatest caloric expenditure. Heavier, compound movements in the eight to ten rep range are ideal, with a training frequency of four to six days per week.
Mesomorph Training
The mesomorph body type is the most adaptable of the three, allowing for more training flexibility. Genetically, this body type exhibits broad shoulders and narrow hips, lending to the aesthetically pleasing nature of this physique. This genetic type builds muscle and burns fat with relative ease, making nearly any routine effective.
Mesomorphs should lift moderate to heavy weights in either the four to six or eight to ten rep range. Since they recover relatively quickly, mesomorphs may benefit from higher training intensity and frequency. They may also find either moderate or high-intensity cardio useful for fat loss.

Methylsulfonylmethane - Say What? (MSM) for Hair and Skin Health
Methylsulfonylmethane (aka MSM)
What is MSM?
Though the name sounds challenging, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is basically sulfur and it remains in our bodies, and in some plants. It is composed of sulfur, oxygen and methyl. In the existence of ozone and ultraviolet light, MSM (along with dimethyl sulfoxide) is formed from dimethyl sulfide, taken up into the environment during evaporation, and then dropped back to the earth in rains, and taken into the root systems of plants. As such, MSM can be discovered in small quantities in a range of foods.
Sulfur represents about 0.25 percent of our total body weight, just like potassium.
How did MSM get to be touted as a wonder treatment?
All of it started with a book called The Wonder of MSM: The Natural Service for Pain. A bandwagon emerged and lots of companies climbed aboard, promoting life-altering supplements.
WebMD lists a multitude of disorders that MSM is stated to assist, from snoring to AIDs, and after that puts the kibosh on all these claims by saying there is no proof, or scant research.
Wikipedia isn't much more reassuring, keeping in mind that placebos fared just as well in treating osteoporosis.
Contrary to what the sellers of MSM supplements say, there is no suggested dietary allowance (RDA) for MSM or sulfur. Sulfur deficiency has actually not been explained in medical literature.
Are there any claims that do stand up to examination?
MSM has actually been reported to increase antioxidant defense (glutathione), along with decreasing the real production of reactive oxygen types.
What can MSM provide for skin?
MSM is sometimes referred to as "nature's appeal mineral". The idea is that MSM has the capability to boost collagen bundles and keratin, the essential things in our skin, hair and nails.
Now if you connect some dots, there is something to this. Keratin, present in the skin, hair, and nails, is especially high in the amino acid cystine, which is found in sulfur. Apparently, it is the sulfur bond in keratin that provides it greater strength.
Sulfur is also present in 2 B vitamins, thiamine and biotin. Surprisingly, thiamine is important to skin and biotin to hair. Sulfur is very important to cellular respiration, as it is needed in the oxidation-reduction responses that help the cells use oxygen.
And, yes, you'll be happy to know there is some research along these lines which show benefits of MSM. According the University of Maryland, Methylsulfonylmethane helps form connective tissue in skin.
According to these studies, even WebMD concedes that MSM may assist rosacea, keeping in mind that a cream containing MSM and silymarin seems to enhance skin color and other symptoms of rosacea. Undoubtedly, sulfur is widely used to treat acne and other skin conditions.
Skin brightening
Sulfur also acts as a skin brightener. It is declared (mainly in patent applications) that MSM may increase the production of pheomelanin, the melanin that is discovered in fair-skinned individuals, relative to eumelanin. MSM is a naturally occuring type of sulfur and its application is supposed to increase intracellular sulfur levels, which triggers dopaquinone to be diverted to pheomelanin production.
Absorption enhancer
MSM may assist other active ingredients penetrate the skin. It is stated that because MSM makes the cells more permeable, it therefore enhances the absorption of nutrients.
MSM and hair
I was specifically thrilled to find that there is a trustworthy connection in between MSM and hair growth. One research study looked at the result of Methylsulfonylmethane on hair development. The scientists combined MAP (a type of vitamin C) at 7.5% and MSM at 10% and concluded that results were "equivalent to or better than the result in the group treated with minoxidil 5%".
Though it wouldn't make a lot of sense to intake a lot of sulfurs alone, a quality supplement with MSM and other complimentary ingredients could be very beneficial for hair, skin, and nail health.

Injury Prevention from Lauded Comics Writer and Physical Therapist, David Andry
A little over a year ago, David "DB" Andry posted a Twitter thread about how creators can
avoid injury. I reached out to David and asked him if we could publish the thread here for reference. Massive thanks to him for writing it and his expressed permission for us to reproduce it here. I've added in some links and images that may be helpful to readers.
If you'd like to thank him, pick up Resonant the next time you're at your LCS!
Without further ado, here's his thread, all in one place:
Thread about injury prevention for WRITERS, ILLUSTRATORS, COLORISTS, LETTERERS and anybody who sits at a computer for a living. Note: I am not diagnosing or treating any of you specifically, this is general information (don't sue me).
Background: I am a physical therapist with over 14 years of experience working exclusively in [occupational] medicine (worker's comp), so I've seen thousands of people with repetitive strain injuries. I'm also a certified ergonomic specialist and have done 100s of ergo evals. (EDITOR'S NOTE: "ergo evals" is short for "ergonomic evaluations.) Okay, here we go. First thing: MICROBREAKS. Stand and stretch frequently. How frequently? I tell my patients every 30 minutes. Now, if you're dealing with an injury, it has to be more frequent. Ideally, before the pain starts. Be PROACTIVE, not REACTIVE. These injuries are all about inflamed tissue. If you work so long that you irritate it, it's like starting the injury all over again. So you may have to break every 10 minutes! "But DB, I'll never get any work done!" How much work will you get done if you have to have surgery? My recommendation is to SET A TIMER. Don't wait for pain or discomfort to tell you to stop and stretch, set that timer when you start working. When it goes off, stand and stretch for 30 seconds and then get back to work. It's a microbreak. Doesn't have to be long, just frequent. What stretches? Whatever feels good. Your body will let you know what you need. Neck, shoulder, wrist, and low back. Give them some variety of movement. Different than what they are doing while you work. Pump your legs, do squats. Get some blood flow going.
"Go for walks, take an outside break, drink lots of water, give your eyes something of different distances to focus on."
Next, ERGONOMICS. You want to stay out of the far ends of your range of motion (looking all the way down, reaching your arm all the way out). For typing, the keyboard should be slightly below elbow height. And close, like you're typing almost in your lap. Your mouse should also be close. Rest your hand on your mouse, not your wrist on your desk and use small shoulder movements to move it. This only works if it's close, if you have to reach for your mouse, your arm will get tired and your neck will hurt. If you use pens, stylus, markers, brushes: the fatter they are, the less stressful they are on your thumb and fingers. I have my patients wrap Coban or Kinesiotape around their pens. It's adjustable and squishy! A slant table or sit-to-stand desk can be good.
Now my favorite, ICE! Yes heat feels good and maybe it works for you, but if the problem is inflammation do you really want to add more heat to that flame? I would try icing immediately after your workday. Watch professional pitchers, professional basketball players, football players. Almost universally, they ice after practice or games. SO THEY RECOVER FASTER. That's what you want, right? To do the same thing the next day. 10-15 minutes until the area is NUMB. Strengthen your body! I'd advise some general scapular and rotator cuff strengthening (Google for specifics). A good study showed that for people with tennis elbow, if they strengthened their shoulder, their elbow improved. Go for walks, take an outside break, drink lots of water, give your eyes something of different distances to focus on. Vary your tasks if you can. Switch between [these] if you have multiple types of work to do instead of doing all of one kind first. That's probably good for now. If you have specific questions, drop them below (EDITOR'S NOTE: Or leave them in the comments here!) and I might answer them if you promise not to sue me. Or find me at ECCC. (Buy Resonant from @thevaultcomics) COVID update: so many people working from home for the first time. Take care of yourself! If you're using a laptop, I'd recommend using the laptop just as a monitor, plugin keyboard, and mouse. Get the top of your monitor to eye height, your keyboard at elbow. Take those breaks!

DNA polymerase
Definition
DNA polymerase is a specific class of enzyme found in all living organisms. Its main purpose is to replicate DNA and to help in the repair and maintenance of DNA. The enzyme is critical to the transmission of genetic information from generation to generation.

Connections Arthur Kornberg | PCR
Importance
From the time of their discovery DNA polymerases have paved the way to new understandings of how DNA is replicated and how it is transcribed. They have also been crucial to the development of DNA sequencing and PCR, upon which much of modern biotechnology is built. Today polymerases are the core tools for DNA labelling, sequencing and amplification. DNA polymerases are also intrinsic components for the development of molecular diagnostics for personalised medicine. They are at the forefront, for example, of techniques to detect genomic alterations that can cause diseases like cancer or cause patients to experience adverse reactions to drugs.
Discovery
The history of DNA polymerase is rooted in the work of Arthur Kornberg who in 1948 discovered that an enzyme he extracted from potatoes (nucleotide pyrophosphatase) could synthesise Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a coenzyme found in all living cells. Soon after he discovered more enzymes that could synthesise other coenzymes. Having found an enzyme that incorporated a nucleotide into a coenzyme, in 1950 Kornberg began to investigate whether there were other enzymes that could assemble the many nucleotides that make up the chains of nucleic acids, particularly RNA. The difficulty he faced was that at this stage scientists did not know what the actual building blocks of nucleic acids were.
By 1954 Kornberg's research and that of others had shown that the likely nucleotide building blocks of nucleic acids were synthesised and activated in cells. Based on this he and his post-doctoral fellow Uri Littauer, launched some experiments to test the power of extracts from Escherichia coli (E coli) to synthesise RNA. This they performed with a radiolabelled coenzyme called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Their work, however, was to take a new direction when, in 1955, Mariane Grunberg-Manago, a postdoctoral fellow in Severo Ochaoa's laboratory, announced the identification of a new enzyme, polynucleotide phosphorylase. This she had stumbled upon while conducting research to understand aerobic phosphorylation in extracts of Azotobacter vinelandii, a soil dwelling organism. Importantly, the enzyme was shown to be capable of synthesising RNA in a test tube from simple nucleotides. This she had done with the use of the coenzyme Adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
Thereafter, Kornberg shifted his efforts to using ADP in his experiments and hunting for an enzyme that could build DNA. By 1956 he and his colleagues, including Robert Lehman, had purified DNA polymerase from E coli extracts. This had been a difficult and demanding task, hindered by the fact that only relatively small amounts of the enzyme could be extracted from E coli. Their work was helped by the recent installation of a fermentor in the department for the growth of E coli which supplied hundreds of grams of log phase E coli. With the aid of chromatography Kornberg's team was able to obtain a several thousand-fold purified but not yet homogeneous preparation of DNA polymerase. While still impure, the enzyme proved capable of DNA replication. This DNA synthesis was aided by the addition of DNA as a primer.
Today the enzyme that Kornberg and colleagues purified is called DNA polymerase I. Many other DNA polymerases have been isolated from E coli since the 1950s, two of them identified by Kornberg's son, Thomas. DNA polymerases have also been purified from other bacteria. This includes Taq DNA polymerase purified from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus in 1976 which was found to live in the hot springs of Yellowstone Park in Wyoming by Thomas Brock in 1965. The advantage of Taq is that it can withstand very high temperatures. This makes it suitable for use in PCR.
Application
Polymerase does not create a novel DNA strand from scratch. Instead it synthesizes a new strand of DNA based on the template of two existing DNA strands. It does this with the help of another enzyme, called helicase, which unwinds the double helix structure of the DNA molecule into two single DNA strands. In addition to a template strand, polymerases require a primer to function. This is a fragment of nucleic acid that serves as the starting point for DNA replication. The primer, often a short strand of RNA, needs to be complementary to the template. DNA polymerase works by sliding along the single strand template of DNA reading its nucleotide bases as it goes along and inserting new complementary nucleotides into the primer so as to make a sequence complementary to the template. DNA polymerase is thought to be able to replicate 749 nucleotides per second. By the end of the replication process two new DNA molecules will have been made, each identical to the other and to the original parent molecule. Such accurate replication is helped by the fact that DNA polymerase has an inbuilt capacity to detect and correct any mistakes it makes in the replication process.
Several families of DNA polymerases have now been identified and new ones are continuing to be discovered. Some of the most useful polymerases for biotechnology are those classified in families labelled A and B. These tend to be single subunit polymerases. Genetic engineering is also adding tailor-made polymerases to the repertoire. Such genetically tailored DNA polymerases have helped increase the speed and accuracy of PCR and enable PCR to be carried out directly from tissue (ie blood). They have also facilitated the development of whole genome amplification and the generation of next generation sequencing tools.
DNA polymerase: timeline of key events
The preliminary finding was announced at the annual meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. It was achieved by Arthur Kornberg, an American biochemist, and his colleagues while studying Escherichia coli, a type of bacteria. The discovery that DNA polymerase, an enzyme, could replicate DNA was a major breakthrough because up to this point most scientists believed it was not possible for scientists to duplicate the genetic specificity that is required for DNA replication outside of an intact cell. Kornberg's work opened the way to the discovery of many other similar enzymes and the development of recombinant DNA. The work was published in A Kornberg, I R Lehman, E S Simms, 'Polydesoxyribonucleotide synthesis by enzymes from Escherichia coli', Fed Proc 15 (1956), 291.1956-04-16T00:00:00+0000
