WHEN IS A TEENAGER’S FIRST VISIT TO A GYNECOLOGIST NECESSARY?
Adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood. Adolescence includes the period of time from the beginning of puberty to the end of growth and development. This is a period of physical, psychological and social changes, medically called puberty or simply puberty.
Puberty begins physiologically at the age of 8 years, which implies the development of secondary sexual characteristics (enlargement of the mammary glands, pubic and axillary hair…) which is followed by menarche (first menstruation) approximately 2-2.5 years later. This period is characterized by a rapid pace of growth and development. Social relations also change, including with family members.
Disorders of the reproductive system often appear at this age. The changes taking place in the human body are individual and may not coincide exactly with certain years. Their onset and duration depend significantly on genetic, social, economic, and cultural factors.
The order in which the signs of puberty develop is very important. In girls, the first sign is swelling of the mammary glands, followed by thinning of the pubic area and armpits, changes in body shape, and menarche. Violation of this sequence may be caused by various pathologies.
Disorders that are characteristic of adolescence:
PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE:
bleeding
Premenstrual syndrome
Menstrual cycle disorders associated with other chronic diseases
DISORDERS OF PUBERTY:
Premature puberty
Delayed puberty
1. Ovarian cysts
2. Endocrine disorders:
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Adrenogenital syndrome
ANOMALIES OF GENITAL DEVELOPMENT
Absence of vagina/cervix/uterus
Obstruction of the hymen (vaginal wall, fibrotic stretch marks)
Non-perforated hymen
Malformations of external genitalia (clitoromegaly,
Ambisexual genitals, etc. Sh.)
Congenital developmental disorders of reproductive organs
GENITAL (VULVA OR VAGINA) INFECTIONS OR PAIN SYNDROME
Bacterial vaginosis
Genital warts (condyloma)
A rash on the vulva
Vulvar swelling or lump
PAIN IN THE SMALL PELVIS
Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea)
YOU SHOULD CONSULT A DOCTOR IF A TEENAGE GIRL:
• has an irregular menstrual cycle, which is accompanied by: acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, excess weight and others;
• has bleeding;
• complains of severe abdominal pain;
• has discharge from the vagina;
• It is very important for a teenager to visit a doctor with appropriate qualifications – a child and adolescent reproductive specialist for the purpose of evaluating puberty, which serves to prevent further complications.
Support from family members, the community, and health care professionals is critical for adolescents to safely transition to adulthood.
Most teenagers do not have enough knowledge and experience to correctly assess their situation, to distinguish between a problem that can be solved by itself and a problem that definitely requires treatment. They do not fully understand the meaning of their symptoms and do not realize what danger they may be facing. They do not know what kind of medical services are available to them and how to use these services, so parents should be careful not to miss their children’s health problems and consult a doctor in time.
The doctor’s special approach to adolescent girls and gaining trust plays a very important role in gathering a full-fledged anamnesis, which is the first and most important stage of making a correct diagnosis.

The pain I had to endure of losing my memory and forgetting who I was — that’s always still in me. I never explained it until the book, and the songs — what agony that was for me. My greatest sense of achievement was conquering that.

History of the salt tax in British India
Taxation of salt has occurred in India since the earliest times. However, this tax was greatly increased when the British East India Company began to establish its rule over provinces in India. In 1835, special taxes were imposed on Indian salt to facilitate its import. This paid huge dividends for the traders of the British East India Company. When the Crown took over the administration of India from the Company in 1858, the taxes were not replaced.
The stringent salt taxes imposed by the British were vehemently condemned by the Indian public. In 1885, at the first session of the Indian National Congress in Bombay, a prominent Congress Leader, S. A. Saminatha Iyer, raised the issue of the salt tax. There were further protests throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries culminating in Mahatma Gandhi's Salt Satyagraha in 1930. This satyagraha was followed by other satyagrahas in other parts of the country.
After the arrest of Gandhi, Sarojini Naidu led the satyagrahis to Dharasana Salt works in Gujarat and was arrested by the police officers. C. Rajagopalachari broke the Salt Laws at Vedaranyam, in Madras Province in the same year. Thousands courted arrest and were imprisoned in large numbers. The administration eventually relented and invited Mahatma Gandhi to England to attend the Second Round Table Conference. Gandhi's Dandi March got wide news coverage and proved to be a turning point in the history of India's independence movement.
The salt tax, however, continued to remain in effect and was repealed only when Jawaharlal Nehru became the prime minister of the interim government in 1946. After independence, a salt tax was later re-introduced in India via the Salt Cess Act, 1953 before being scrapped and succeeded by the Goods and Services Tax in 2017, which does not tax salt. In Pakistan, table salt is currently taxed but iodised salt is not.
Taxation of salt
An early mention of salt taxation is found in Guanzi, a book written in China c. 300 BCE, which proposes various methods for its implementation. The recommendations of Guanzi became the official salt policy of early Chinese Emperors. At one point, salt taxes constituted over one-half of China's revenues and contributed to the construction of the Great Wall of China.
Salt was also important in the ancient Roman Empire. The first of the great Roman roads, the Via Salaria, or Salt Road, was built for transporting salt. However, unlike the Chinese, Romans did not monopolize salt.
In Britain, there are references to salt taxes in the Domesday Book but they had died out before patents were given in Tudor times. Reintroduced in 1641 in the Commonwealth period there was such outcry that they were withdrawn on the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 and not reinstated till 1693 under William III, with duty set at two shillings a bushel on foreign salt, one shilling on native salt with exemption for fishery salt. In 1696 the tax was doubled and remained in force till abolished in 1825. There were probably 600 full-time officials employed in the collection of the taxes.
Salt-producing areas in India
Salt has been produced all along the Rann of Kutch on the west coast of India for the past 5,000 years. The Rann of Kutch is an extensive marshland that is cut off from the rest of the Indian subcontinent during monsoons when the seas inundate the low-lying areas. However, when the seawater evaporates during summer, it leaves behind a crust of salt which accumulates as salt pans. This salt is collected by laborers called malangas.
On the east coast, salt could be obtained extensively along the coast of Odisha. The salt produced by the salt pans called khalaris in Oriya is of the finest quality in all India. There has always been a demand for Odisha salt in Bengal. When the British took over the administration of Bengal, they too felt its need and traded for salt. Gradually they monopolized Odisha salt all over Bengal. To check smuggling and illegal transportation, they sent armies into Odisha, resulting in the conquest of Odisha in 1803.
Taxation of salt before British rule
Salt is a commodity that had been taxed in India ever since the time of the Mauryas. Taxes on salt have been prevalent even during the time of Chandragupta Maurya. The Arthashastra, which describes the different duties of the people, says that a special officer called lavananadhyaksa was appointed to collect the salt tax. Taxes were also imposed on imported salt. However, they accounted for 25 percent of the total value of the salt.
In Bengal, there was a salt tax in force during the era of the Mughal Empire, which was 5% for Hindus and 2.5% for Muslims.
Taxation of salt by the British East India Company
In 1759, two years after its victory at the Battle of Plassey, the British East India Company came into possession of land near Calcutta where there were salt works. Utilizing this opportunity to make money, they doubled the land rent and imposed transit charges on the transportation of salt.
In 1764, following the victory at the Battle of Buxar, the British began to control all the revenues of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. Robert Clive, who returned as governor in 1765, made the sale of tobacco, betel nut, and salt (apart from other accessories and essential spices and condiments), the monopoly of the senior officers of the British East India Company. Contracts were given to deliver salt to depots, and merchants were required to buy from these depots.
The outrage was expressed by the authorities in England who declared:
"We consider it too disgraceful, and below the dignity of the present situation, to allow such a monopoly."
Clive responded by offering the company 1,200,000 per annum from the profits made.
However, the authorities in England were stubborn, and due to the pressure they exerted, the monopoly of tobacco and betel nut was stopped on 1 September 1767, followed by the annulment of the salt monopoly on 7 October 1768.
In 1772, the governor-general, Warren Hastings, brought the salt trade once again under the company's control. The salt works were leased out to farmers who agreed to deliver salt at a fixed rate to the company and sold the leases to the highest bidders. Corruption dealt a severe blow to the company and the revenue from salt trade fell to 80,000 rupees by 1780. This, along with the exploitation of the malangas or salt workers by their landlords, forced Hastings to introduce a new system for controlling the salt trade in India.
In 1780 Hastings brought the salt trade once again under government control, dividing the infrastructure into agencies, each under the control of an agent and governed by a controller. This system persisted, with minor modifications, until India's independence in 1947. Under this new system, the malangas sold the salt to the agents at a particular price, initially fixed at 2 rupees a maund with a tax of 1.1 to 1.5 rupees a maund. This new system was a success, and in 1781–82, the salt revenue was 2,960,130 rupees. The company received salt revenue of 6,257,750 rupees in 1784–85.
From 1788 onwards, the company began selling salt wholesalers by auction. As a result, the British East India Company increased the tax to 3.25 rupees a maund, and the wholesale price of salt increased from 1.25 to about 4 rupees a maund. This was an exorbitant rate that few could afford.
In 1804, the British monopolized salt in the newly conquered state of Orissa. In return, they advanced money to the malangas against future salt production, resulting in the malangas becoming debtors to the British, virtually becoming economic slaves. The Orissa zamindars, who had earlier controlled the local salt trade, were alarmed at the sudden loss of income and tried to persuade the malanga not to work for the British, but to no avail.
In the early 19th century, to make the salt tax more profitable and reduce smuggling, the East India Company established customs checkpoints throughout Bengal. G. H. Smith established a "customs line", which was the boundary across which salt transportation involved payment of high customs duties. In the 1840s a thorn fence was erected along the western frontiers of Bengal province to prevent salt smuggling. Eventually, after 1857, the thorn fence grew to be 2,500 miles long.
"A customs line was established, which stretched across the whole of India, which in 1869 extended from the Indus to the Mahanadi in Madras, a distance of 2,300 miles; and it was guarded by nearly 12,000 men and petty officers... it consisted principally of an immense impenetrable hedge of thorny trees and bushes, supplemented by stone wall and ditches, across which no human being or beast of burden or vehicle could pass without being subject to detention or search."
- (Strachey and Strachey 1882, 219–220)
Taxation of salt by the British authorities
The taxation laws introduced by the British East India Company were in vogue during the ninety years of British Raj which followed the demise of the company. The construction of a fence to prevent smuggling of salt, which was commenced during the company's rule, was completed during this period. Sources indicate that by 1858, British India derived 10% of its revenues from its monopoly of salt. However, by the end of the century, the tax on salt had been considerably reduced. In 1880, income from salt amounted to 7 million pounds.
In 1900 and 1905, India was one of the largest producers of salt in the world, with a yield of 1,021,426 metric tons and 1,212,600 metric tonnes respectively.
In 1923, under the viceroyalty of Lord Reading, a bill was passed doubling the salt tax. However, another proposal made in 1927 was subsequently vetoed. It was one of Finance Member Basil Blackett's first deeds when producing his first budget in February 1923.
Salt laws
The first laws to regulate the salt tax were made by the British East India Company.
In 1835, the government appointed a salt commission to review the existing salt tax. It recommended that Indian salt should be taxed to enable the sale of imported English salt. Consequently, salt was imported from Liverpool, resulting in an increase in salt rates. Subsequently, the government set up a monopoly on the manufacture of salt by the Salt Act. Production of salt was made an offense punishable with six months' imprisonment. The committee also recommended that Indian salt be sold in maunds of 100. However, they were sold in much lesser quantities. In 1888, the salt tax was enhanced by Lord Dufferin as a temporary measure. Cheshire salt imported from the United Kingdom was available at a much cheaper rate. However, Cheshire salt was of inferior quality compared to India's salt. India's salt imports reached 2,582,050 metric tons by 1851.
In 1878, a uniform salt tax policy was adopted for the whole of India, both British India as well as the princely states. Both production, as well as possession of salt, were made unlawful by this policy. The salt tax, which was one rupee and thirteen annas per maund in Bombay, Madras, the Central Provinces, and the princely states of South India, was increased to two rupees and eight annas and decreased from three rupees and four annas in Bengal and Assam to two rupees and fourteen annas, and from three rupees to two rupees and eight annas in North India.
Section 39 of the Bombay Salt Act, which was the same as Section 16-17 of the Indian Salt Act, empowered a salt-revenue official to break into places where salt was being illegally manufactured and seize the illegal salt being manufactured. Section 50 of the Bombay Salt Act prohibited the shipping of salt overseas.
The India Salt Act of 1882 included regulations enforcing a government monopoly on the collection and manufacture of salt. Salt could be manufactured and handled only at official government salt depots, with a tax of Rs 1-4-0 on each maund (82 pounds).
In 1944 the Central Legislative Assembly passed the Excises and Salt Act (Act No. I of 1944), which, though modified in India and Pakistan, remain in force in Bangladesh.
A new salt tax was introduced to the Republic of India, via the Salt Cess, 1953, which received the assent of the president on 26 December 1953, and was brought into force on 2 January 1954:
"Then again there is a still more wretched creature, who bears the name of a laborer, whose income may be fixed at thirty-five rupees per annum. If he, with his wife and three children, consumes twenty-four seers [49 lb] of salt, he must pay a salt duty of two rupees and seven annas, or in other words 7½ percent income tax. Now we leave it to our readers to judge, whether the ryots and the laborers can procure salt in the quantities they require. We can positively state from our own experience, that an ordinary ryot can never procure more than two-thirds of what he requires, and that a laborer not more than half."
Early protests against the British salt tax
Since the introduction of the first taxes on salt by the British East India Company, the laws were subjected to fervent criticism. The Chamber of Commerce in Bristol was one of the first to submit a petition opposing the salt tax:
"The price to the consumer here [in England] is but about 30s per ton instead of 20 pounds per ton as in India; and if it was necessary to abolish the Salt tax at home some years since it appears to your petitioners that the millions of her Majesty's subjects of India have a much stronger claim for remission in their case, wretchedly poor as they are, and essentially necessary as salt is to their daily sustenance, and to the prevention of disease in such a climate."
The salt tax was criticized at a public meeting at Cuttack in February 1888. In the first session of the Indian National Congress held in 1885 in Bombay, a prominent Congress member, S. A. Saminatha Iyer pleaded against the tax: "It would be unjust and unrighteous if the tax on salt should be increased. It is a necessary article both for human as well as animal well-being... it would be bad policy and a retrograde movement to raise the tax, especially at a time when the poor millions of India are anxiously looking forward to a further reduction of the tax... As any increase, therefore, of this tax will fall heavily upon the masses of the people of the land, I would strongly urge upon the attention of this Congress the necessity of its entering its strong protest against any attempt on the part of Government to raise the tax on salt."
At the Allahabad session of the Indian National Congress in 1888, Narayan Vishnu, a delegate from Poona vehemently opposed the Indian Salt Act. A resolution was passed wherein the delegates present declared 'That this Congress do put on record its disapproval of the recent enhancement of the salt tax as involving a perceptible increase to the burden of the poorer classes, as also the 'partial adoption, in a time of peace and plenty, of the only financial reserve of the Empire.' The 1892 session at Allahabad concluded thus: '... We do not know when the tax will be reduced. So that there is every necessity for our repeating this prayer in the interests of the masses, and we earnestly hope that it will be granted before long'. A similar sort of protest was also issued at the Congress session at Ahmedabad. The salt tax was also protested by eminent people like Dadabhai Naoroji. On 14 August 1894, he thundered in the House of Commons: "Then the Salt Tax, the cruelest Revenue imposed in any civilized country provided Rs. 8,600,000/- and that with the opium 'formed the bulk of the revenue of India, which was drawn from the wretchedness of the people... It mattered not what the State received was called – tax, rent, revenue, or by any other name they liked – the simple fact of the matter was, that out of a certain annual national production the State took a certain portion. Now it would not also matter much about the portion taken by the State if that portion, as in this country, returned to people themselves, from whom it was raised. But the misfortune and the evil was that much of this portion did not return to the people and that the whole system of Revenue and the economic condition of the people became unnatural and oppressive, with dangers to the rulers. So long as the system went on, so long must the people go on, living wretched lives. There was a constant draining away of India's resources, and she could never, therefore, be a prosperous country. Not only that, but in time India must perish, and with it perish the British Empire."
In 1895, George Hamilton stated at a session of the House of Commons that:
"Time has, however, now come when the Government finds itself in possession of larger surpluses and it is, therefore, its duty as guardian of public exchequer, to reduce taxation on salt."
When the salt tax was doubled in the year 1923, it was sharply criticized in a report by the Taxation Enquiry Committee which was published two years later. This raise also evoked sharp reactions from Indian nationalists. In 1929, Pandit Nilakantha Das demanded the repeal of the salt tax in the Imperial Legislature but his pleas fell on deaf ears. In 1930, Orissa was close to open rebellion.
Mahatma Gandhi and the salt tax
Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi had written his first article on the salt tax in 1891 in the periodical The Vegetarian. While in South Africa, he wrote in The Indian Opinion:
"The tax levied on salt in India has always been a subject of criticism. This time it has been criticized by the well-known Dr. Hutchinson who says that 'it is a great shame for the British Government in India to continue it, while a similar tax previously in force in Japan has been abolished. Salt is an essential article in our dietary. It could be said that the increasing incidence of leprosy in India was due to the salt tax. Dr. Hutchinson considers the salt tax a barbarous practice, which ill becomes the British Government."
In 1909, Mahatma Gandhi wrote in his Hind Swaraj from South Africa, urging the British administration to abolish the salt tax.
Mahatma Gandhi's Salt March
At the historic Lahore session of the Indian National Congress on 31 December 1929 in which Purna Swaraj was declared, a passing reference was made to the infamous and oppressive salt law and resolved that a way should be found to oppose it. In the first week of March 1930, Mahatma Gandhi wrote to Lord Irwin apprising him of the prevailing social, economic and political conditions in the country.
On 12 March 1930, Gandhi embarked on a satyagraha with 78 followers from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi on the Arabian Sea coast. This march, known as the Dandi March, was sensationalized by the international press; film clippings and pictures of Mahatma Gandhi were relayed to distant corners of the world. Gandhi reached Dandi on 5 April 1930. After his morning bhajan, he waded in to the sea shore and picked up a handful of salt, proclaiming that with the handful of salt he was proclaiming the end of the British Empire. The police arrived and arrested thousands of national leaders including Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi's bold defiance of the salt law encouraged other Indians to break the law as well.
Other salt satyagrahas
Soon after the conclusion of the Salt satyagraha at Dandi, Gandhi intended to lead a pack of satyagrahis to the Dharasana Salt Works in Gujarat, but was arrested by the police. A few days later, Congress leader Abbas Tyabji was also arrested. So the mantle fell upon Sarojini Naidu to lead the marchers at Dharasana. They marched to Dharasana, where they were stopped by a detachment of police. The non-violent satyagrahis confronted the police and were beaten. American journalist Webb Miller, who witnessed the gruesome scene, counted around 320 bodies. His reporting on the violence at the Dharasana Salt Works was later credited for helping turn world opinion against British colonial rule of India.
In April 1930, Congress leader Chakravarti Rajagopalachari led a salt satyagraha in Vedaranyam, Madras province. The satyagrahis reached Vedaranyam on the east coast of India on 28 April, where they prepared salt illegally on 30 April.
Aftermath
The British authorities turned deaf ears to the massive protests against the salt tax which rocked India during the early 1930s. The Dandi March was only partially successful. Though it forced the British rulers to come to the discussion table, the salt tax continued. It was only on 6 April 1946 that Mahatma Gandhi made a formal request to Sir Archibald Rowlands, the finance member of the Viceroy's Executive Council, to remove the oppressive salt tax. Rowlands formally issued an order abolishing the salt tax, but the order was vetoed by the Viceroy, Lord Wavell. The salt tax continued in force until March 1947, when it was abolished by the Interim Government of India headed by Jawaharlal Nehru, by the then-Finance Minister Liaquat Ali Khan.
A modified salt tax was later introduced, to the Republic of India, via the Salt Cess Act, 1953, which received the assent of the President on 26 December 1953, and was brought into force on 2 January 1954. The tax, applied at a rate of 14 paise per 40 kg of salt produced, was criticised for its low collections, with the government spending twice as much to collect the tax as it earned from it. This was replaced in 2017 by the Goods and Services Tax overhaul, which officially places salt in the 0% taxation category.
In Pakistan, raw table salt is taxed while iodised salt is not, which has been criticised by salt manufacturers as they need to pay tax on the salt that they later iodise and sell tax-free.

Rh "Of course he is; this is his dinnertime."
She trembled as she rang the bell of the parsonage. The priest was just sitting down to dinner, and he made her sit down also. "Yes, yes, I know all about it; your husband has mentioned the matter to me that brings you here."
The poor woman nearly fainted, and the priest continued: "What do you want, my child?" And he hastily swallowed several spoonfuls of soup, some of which dropped on to his greasy cassock. But Rose did not venture to say anything more, but got up to go, while the priest said: "Courage."
So she went out, and returned to the farm, without knowing what she was doing. The farmer was waiting for her, as the laborers had gone away during her absence, and she fell heavily at his feet, and shedding a flood of tears, she said to him: "What have you got against me?"
He began to shout and to swear: "What have I got against you? That I have no children, by God! When a man takes a wife, he does not want to be left alone with her until the end of his days. That is what I have against you. When a cow has no calves, she is not worth anything, and when a woman has no children, she is also not worth anything."
She beean to cry, and said: "It is not my fault! It is not my fault!"
He grew rather more gentle when he heard that, and added: "I do not say that it is, but it is very annoying, all the same."
From that day forward, she had only one thought—to have a child, another child. She confided her wish to everybody, and in consequence of this, a neighbor told her of an infallible method. This was, to make her husband a glass of water with a pinch of ashes in it, every evening. The farmer consented to try it, but without success, so they said to each other: "Perhaps there are some secret ways?" And they tried to find out. They were told of a shepherd who lived ten leagues off, and so Vallin one day drove off to consult him. The shepherd gave him a loaf on which he had made some marks; it was kneaded up with herbs, and both of them were to eat a piece of it before and after their mutual caresses; but they ate the whole loaf without obtaining any results from it. Next, a schoolmaster unveiled mysteries and processes of love which were unknown in the country, but infallible, so he declared; but none of them had the desired effect. Then the priest advised them to make a pilgrimage to the shrine at Fécamp. Rose went with the crowd and prostrated herself in the abbey, and mingling her prayers with the coarse wishes of the peasants around her, she prayed that she might be fruitful a second time; but it was in vain, and then she thought that she was being punished for her first fault, and she was seized by terrible grief. She was wasting away with sorrow: her husband was growing old prematurely, and was wearing himself out in useless hopes.
Then war broke out between them; he called her names and beat her. They quarreled all day long, and when they were in bed together at night he flung insults and obscenities at her, panting

I'm trying to determine if a given string is a valid regex pattern but i can't seem to find any function that will let me do so. The only alternative I've found is simply try/catch but surely there must be a neater solution. Anyone know of one ?

try/catch is the way to handle actual pattern checks, near's I can tell; quick search through MSDN shows them using that exact method anytime they've got something like an expression validator (to see if an expression matches a string or not) - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa720492(VS.71).aspx - they use try/catch as well.

well that's lame/lazy imo... oh well this will do then: fn isValidRegexPattern pattern =
(
regex = dotNetClass "System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegEx"
try(regex.isMatch "test" pattern;true)catch(false)
)

Well, it seems lame from a typical maxscript try/catch because when we tend to use a try/catch, it's to catch any actual exceptions that might occur.. i.e. trap for code that not just -would- throw a full-blown error, but actually -does- throw that error.
With most .net methods, there's a bunch of internal checking to see whether things would throw an error before they are actually executed.. if it's determined that indeed an error would get thrown, it calls an internal throw() routine itself. It's pretty light-weight, so not much of an issue.
MaxScript can do much the same with throw() as well.. you can make a function that validates input, for example, and call throw() if the inputs are incorrect.. it's just that we typically do something like return false or undefined instead (if doing any checking at all), allowing whatever calling code to continue on merrily / check for a false/undefined value to deal with it. throwing an error would actually be more appropriate in such cases :)

Try/catch is used much more in .net than MXS, as there is a dedicated exception class that can be used to provide a developer more control over what to do with a certain error. (a bit like getcurrentexception() but in more detail) There may a be a few different types of error to catch in a certain point which needs to be handled in different ways, for example Null Exceptions, Stack Overflows or Out of Memory exceptions.
.net also has a 'finally' clause in try/catch, which can be used to clear up any programming detritus after an exception has happened.
The MXS help mentions try/catch is bad practise due to speed issues, in reality most of the time its not a problem to me if something takes 43ms rather than 17ms, but I can see there would be times where it would matter.
So in .net its not considered bad practise and most of the examples I see are setup this way.

Example application: Ungrounded power system insulation monitoring and the insulation fault location is sent to a supervisor
You can use an IMD and insulation fault locator to monitor an ungrounded power system and send the alarm to a supervisor.
An ungrounded power system is a system involving the use of a transformer whose neutral is not connected to ground.
The insulation is monitored by an IMD whose insulation alarm and preventive insulation alarm outputs are connected to an available input on a networked device (For example: PLC). This device is connected to a supervisor via a communication network.
Locating the insulation fault is done using XD301, XD312 or IFL devices. The XD301, XD312, or IFL* output relay is connected to an available input on a networked device.
The XRM mobile insulation fault locator is used to locate accurately the area where the insulation fault has occurred.
NOTE: In this scenario, only the insulation alarm, preventive insulation alarm, and faulty channel information are available to the supervisor.

Bagdad Cafe (TV series)
Bagdad Cafe is an American television sitcom starring Whoopi Goldberg and Jean Stapleton that aired on CBS. The series premiered March 30, 1990, and ran two seasons before being cancelled in winter 1990. The last two episodes aired in July 1991. The show is based on the 1987 Percy Adlon film Bagdad Cafe.
Cast
* Whoopi Goldberg as Brenda
* Jean Stapleton as Jasmine
* James Gammon as Rudy
* Monica Calhoun as Debbie
* Scott Lawrence as Juney
* Cleavon Little as Sal
In this version, Jasmine was not German.
Production
The series was shot in the conventional sitcom format, in front of a studio audience. The show did not obtain a sizable audience, being forced to compete with ABC's Top 20 hit Family Matters and was cancelled after two seasons.
Insiders say that production of the series ended on November 16, 1990, after a dispute between Goldberg and the show's co-executive producer, Thad Mumford. Executive producer Kenneth Kaufman was told that Goldberg called CBS president Jeff Sagansky in late November to say that she was quitting the show. With no time to recast Goldberg's role, CBS ended the series and pulled the remaining episodes from the broadcast schedule.
Episodes
Fifteen episodes were produced, and are registered with the United States Copyright Office.
Reception
Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly rated the series a C, saying that "rarely has a bad sitcom been better acted". Despite being impressed with the acting from Stapleton and Little, Tucker was disappointed that the producers did not hire better writers, to match the quality of the movie on which the series is based. Howard Rosenberg of the Los Angeles Times said the show's premiere "doesn't click tonight, it yields no laughs". However, John J. O'Connor of The New York Times remarks that "the stars seem to be enjoying themselves immensely", and compliments the director of the pilot noting, "Paul Bogart, a sitcom miracle worker, directs the first episode with enough aplomb to qualify himself as a master illusionist".

I've added a possible fix to the sandbox for the errors this template generates. The underlying issue is that Template:Cite Instagram is passing the user parameter to Template:Cite web as part of the author field. Cite web is expecting a person or organization.

Writers often use social criticism in their books to show corruptness or weak points of a group in society. One way of doing this is allegory which is a story in which figures and actions are symbols of general truths. George Orwell is an example of an author who uses allegory to show a social criticism effectively. As in his novel Animal Farm, Orwell makes a parody of Soviet Communism as demonstrated by Animal Farm’s brutal totalitarian rule, manipulated and exploited working class, and the pigs’ evolution into the capitalists they initially opposed.
Totalitarianism is a political regime based on subordination of the individual to the state and strict control of all aspects of life. It was used by Stalin and the Bolsheviks in Russia during the 1920’s and 30’s and is parodied in Animal Farm by Napoleon, the “almighty” leader, and his fellow pigs and their ridiculous propaganda and rigorous rule. In the book, Napoleon is deified and made superior to all other animals on the farm, for example he is called emperor or leader while everyone else was referred to as a “comrade”, and all the pigs were given higher authority then the rest of the animals. An inequality between the pigs and rest of the farm was that the pigs lived in the farm house while the other majority had to sleep in pastures.
A certain pig Squealer who could “turn black into white” was in charge of propaganda, and he would often change the commandments of the farm so that they would fit the actions of Napoleon or the “upper class” of the farm which was supposedly classless. For example, at one time a commandment read “No animal shall drink alcohol”(P. 75), but soon after Napoleon drank an abundance and almost died the commandment was changed to “No animal shall drink to excess.” which made it seem as though Napoleon was within the rules. Another instance where Napoleon showed severe rule was when everyone on the farm who had either pledged for or showed support at one time for Snowball, the exiled former leader, was executed on the spot.
This act was a humorous resemblance of The Great Purge in Russia where all opposition was killed off. The governing system of the Animal Farm was truly corrupt, but it did not stop with the propaganda and executions.At first on the Animal Farm, it was promised to the majority of the animals who were neither Napoleon or a pig, or the so-called “working class”, that “from each according to his ability to each according to his needs”, no more, no less. In other words, if all the animals worked to their capabilities they would get the work back in rations.
This system worked for a while, but stopped when Napoleon and his Totalitarian government took over, and the system was manipulated. Napoleon and his fellow pigs gave the animals unfair hours of labor and unfair rations for their work which corrupted the system. Napoleon attempted to keep the animals intact by inspiring them with slogans, “Napoleon is always right.” and “I will work harder.”(P.40) This seemed to work because no animal would refuse to do their job because of the fear of their food supply being cut as a penalty.
As an example, Napoleon announced that all animals would have to work voluntary Sunday afternoons, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his ration reduced by half(P. 42). Napoleon gave the animals long, many hour days so that the farm could move toward industrialization with the building of a windmill, much like The Five Year Plan of Russia. This act was made comical because much like in Russia the plan kept on failing, but the government proceeded in actions anyway. The so-called “working class” of the Animal Farm which at first had a bright future was turned into more of a “slave class”. Animal Farm started with a dream, a dream of old Major’s which was for the animals of England specifically the Manor Farm to rebel against the humans, take over the farm, and live at peace amongst themselves. This dream soon became a reality for the animals of

Domestic Disturbance
Domestic Disturbance is a 2001 American psychological thriller film directed by Harold Becker and starring John Travolta, Vince Vaughn, Teri Polo, Steve Buscemi, and Matt O'Leary.
Plot
In Southport, Maryland, Susan Morrison, recently divorced from her husband Frank, a struggling boat builder, is marrying a younger and wealthier man, Rick Barnes. Danny, Susan and Frank's twelve-year-old son, is clearly unhappy that his mother is remarrying. Susan asks Frank to allow Rick to go sailing with him and Danny, to help Danny bond with and accept Rick as a stepfather.
After the wedding, Danny and Rick play a game of catch, where Rick clearly becomes agitated with Danny's ambivalent playing style and starts criticizing him harshly. The revelation that Susan and Rick are having a baby worsens the situation. After finding out about the baby, Danny stows away in Rick's Chevy Suburban, planning to drop off it en route and visit his father. But while Danny is inside, he sees Rick murdering mysterious stranger Ray Coleman, who earlier attended the wedding unannounced, claiming to be an ex-business associate of Rick.
Danny reports the murder to his father and to the local police. Rick, however, has managed to dispose of most of the evidence, and is widely considered a pillar of the local community as he invested his money in the area, whereas Danny has a history of lying and misdemeanors. Frank believes his son, though, stemming from Rick's notable unease around Ray at the ceremony and the fact that Danny never lies to him.
Frank does some investigating of his own and unearths Rick's criminal past, which now stands to put his son and ex-wife at risk. Frank learns that Rick's true identity is Jack Parnell, a criminal who was acquitted while his partners, Ray among them, were convicted because he framed them all for the crime. Ray had planned to get revenge on Jack by exposing him at the wedding. Jack tries to kill Frank by setting his boathouse on fire, but Frank manages to escape and expose Jack's true identity to the police, who begin heading for Susan's house.
At the house, Susan also realizes the truth when she sees a large burn on Jack's arm, having heard about the fire at the boathouse minutes earlier. She tries to escape with Danny, but Jack knocks her out and takes Danny as a hostage, intending to flee. Frank arrives to confront Jack, and they both engage in a vicious fight, ending when a tied-up Danny pushes Jack into a fuse box, electrocuting and killing him. Susan has no serious physical injury from the conflict, aside from suffering a miscarriage. The police apologize to both Danny and Frank for not believing them about Jack, and the reunited father and son follow Susan as she is taken to the hospital via ambulance.
Cast
* John Travolta as Frank Morrison
* Vince Vaughn as Rick Barnes / Jack Parnell
* Teri Polo as Susan Morrison
* Matt O'Leary as Danny Morrison
* Steve Buscemi as Ray Coleman
* Susan Floyd as Diane
* Ruben Santiago-Hudson as Detective Edgar Stevens
* Chris Ellis as Detective Warren

Production
In April 2001, while shooting the film in Wilmington, North Carolina, actor Steve Buscemi was slashed in the face while intervening in a bar fight between his friend Vince Vaughn, screenwriter Scott Rosenberg and a local man, Timothy Fogerty, who allegedly instigated the brawl.
Release
Paramount Pictures held the world premiere of Domestic Disturbance at the studio on October 30, 2001. The film's stars were in attendance as well as many other guest celebrities. The film was then officially released on November 2, 2001 in 2,910 theaters throughout the United States. It did not prove to be a financial success, grossing only $45,246,095 domestically. By the end of its run, the film was only able to gross $54 million worldwide from its $75 million budget.
Home media
The film was released on DVD on September 3, 2002 by Paramount Home Entertainment.
Critical reaction
Domestic Disturbance was received poorly by critics, and gains a 24% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 100 reviews, with an average rating of 4/10. The consensus reads: "Well-made but extremely predictable, Domestic Disturbance is an average thriller that may work better on TV." On Metacritic, it holds a score of 29 out of 100, based on reviews from 27 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
Roger Ebert awarded it one-and-a-half stars out of a possible four, reciting an anecdote about how the Chicago film critics had been shown the wrong last reel. He saw the correct one the following Monday, and scathingly said of it in his review: "The earlier reel was lacking the final music. Music is the last thing wrong with that reel."
Accolades
Matt O'Leary was nominated for a Young Artist Award, for Best Performance in a Feature Film – Supporting Young Actor. However, star John Travolta was nominated for a Razzie for Worst Actor (also for Swordfish). Vaughn and Travolta later worked in Be Cool together.

Following advice, potential FBI chiefs steer clear of job under Trump
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration’s search for a new FBI director hit roadblocks on Tuesday when two high-profile potential candidates, a moderate judge and a conservative senator, signaled they did not want the job. Advisers to Judge Merrick Garland and U.S. Senator John Cornyn of Texas told Reuters they discouraged them from leading the Federal Bureau of Investigation, cautioning that they would be leaving important, secure jobs for one fraught with politics and controversy. The advisers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the new FBI director would have little job security and heightened scrutiny by political observers following President Donald Trump’s abrupt firing of James Comey on May 9. Garland and Cornyn distancing themselves from the selection process just three days before Trump has said he may make a decision, points to the difficulties the White House has in filling the FBI post amid turmoil in the administration. Trump’s firing of Comey, the man in charge of an investigation into possible collusion between 2016 election campaign associates and the Russian government, outraged many lawmakers, including some Republicans. Garland, the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, “loves his job and is not interested in leaving the judiciary,” said one source familiar with the judge’s thinking. Cornyn said in a statement that he had informed the White House that “the best way I can serve is continuing to fight for a conservative agenda in the U.S. Senate.” White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters on Tuesday that an announcement on FBI director was still possible before Trump leaves on his first foreign trip on Friday. He said the U.S. Department of Justice was still interviewing candidates. Several Republican senators had promoted Garland even though they had refused to give him a hearing when Republican Trump’s predecessor President Barack Obama, a Democrat, nominated Garland last year for a then-vacant seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. The Republicans’ reasoning appeared to be that Garland would be accepted by Democrats and help restore faith in the FBI as a nonpartisan agency. In an interview on Bloomberg Television, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell referred to Garland, a former federal prosecutor, as “an apolitical professional.” A second Garland acquaintance who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Garland sought advice from those who told him he would be leaving his life-long position on the federal bench to take a job that could be terminated by Trump overnight. A Republican Senate aide said Cornyn’s staff also worried that the third-term Texas Senator could cut his- and their own- careers short by going to the FBI. An adviser to another candidate on the White House short-list, former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, 75, said Kelly is also being persuaded to step out of the running. Kelly has not said that he would not consider the job, but so far he has not been interviewed. Republican Representative Trey Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor whose name had been floated, said on Monday he was not interested in the director position. The difficulty in filling key administration jobs is not just limited to the FBI director post. Trump’s habits of contradicting his top aides, demanding personal loyalty and punishing officials who contradict him in public has discouraged a number of experienced people from pursuing jobs, said three people who declined to discuss possible positions with administration officials. “It’s becoming increasingly difficult to attract good people to work in this administration,” said one senior official. “In other cases, veteran people with expertise are leaving or seeking posts overseas and away from this White House.” Reporting by Julia Edwards Ainsley, additional reporting by Lawrence Hurley, Mark Hosenball, Richard Cowan and Steve Holland; editing by Grant McCool

and the Kernel can "react" to that (swap in page or send a SIGSEGF signal
to the process in case of "wrong write" and so on). Other processes are
protected because each process has a unique CR3 value which points to it's
page directory, thus it's impossible to access a physical address that
does not belong to the process (the values to calculate those are simply
not in the PDEs/PTEs). Sharing memory is easy, too: Put the correct values
in the PDEs/PTEs and different processes can access the same library at
the same location in physicall memory.
'Des Pudels Kern - ja'.
OK, so here are my conclusions, bases on what I have written above:
It is not possible to protect a _single_ byte in phys. memory by means of
the MMU, this can only be done by software (on x86!).
Linux - the kernel - doesn't protect a "single byte in memory" from being
written to if that byte is located in a page that is writeable.
The hardware cannot protect in smaller units than a page, as
the other limiting mechanism in segments is effectively wide open.
The Copy-On-Write mechanism actually could be misused to protect
smaller units than a page, but there are currently no data structures
in the kernel for it. I also doubt that there will be, due to the
high overhead associated with such mechanisms.
If I malloc(), say, one byte, I get an address "inside" the heap. Neither the MMU, nor the Linux kernel, nor "malloc()" can/do stop me from
writing to (address + X) unless, by doing that, I generate a linear
address which "leads" to a "different" page which is marked read only. The
Linux kenel and the C Library (C++?) do not provide that strong protection
because (I guess) it's too expensive (speed, space). On the other hand,
"managed code" (Java, C#) can provide such strong protection because the
code runs "inside" a VM which implements the possibility to protect a
single byte (by creating extra managment information for each process).
The C code will happily let you to shoot yourself in the
foot if you properly request it. You're right about the heavy
overhead associated with it. It could be implemented with lighter
(but not zero) overhead using the segment hardware in the processor.
However, it would require heavy modifications to the binary utilities
(assembler, linker & co) and program loader.
Sharing libraries: "call printf" is basically a "call <address>", only
that the compiler does not put "printf" somewhere in the executable and
"printf" is a symbolic name for a address inside the code segment of the
executable (unless the executable is linked statically). Instead the
"dynamic loader" "knows" where the code for printf is located, sets up a
PDE (in the Page Directory of the process) which points to a PTE (probably
not in the Page Table of the provess) which points to the location of the
printf code and replaces "printf" in each "call printf" with the correct
values.
Not so complicated - the linkage vector is in the data segment
of the process. The pages will be set up by the virtual memory
system at first access. Remember that the Linux memory management
uses demand paging. What is set up is the permission to access
the pages in the mapped shared library addresses, so the page
fault is a page request and not an illegal access.
Process memory layout: Is it (generally) correct to assume that the
address space for a process is set up like this, when you are looking at
the Page Director Table:
PDT: linear address:
--------------------------------- <- XX1...1X...X (Bit 29 to 21 set)
PDEs to stack pages, r/w
---------------------------------
PDEs marked as
"not valid", access
leads to exception
---------------------------------
PDEs fou heap, r/w
--------------------------------- <- XX0..01?1X..X PDE for Code, Constants
--------------------------------- <- XX0..0X...X (Bit 29 to 21 not set)
Would it be possible, though, to change this? For example, put data and
stack on bottom and code in the middle, although this might be rather
stupid? I'd only need a compiler and libraries which would generate the
linear address according to the scheme I've mentiond, right? The
kernel/MMU doesn't care which pages I mark as, r/w, read only or
executable, right?
Or wrong, the kernel enforces (somehow) a consistent layout for all
processes?
The kernel is prepared to run executables in the standard
layout. You'll need modifications to the process handling
code and the linker scripts to make any changes - but why?
You can check the process address layout by reading some of the
/proc/pid/maps files (replace pid by the process number).
Maybe you should read the book

When the Bills Come In
OST writer-folk are nervous. They are not writers because they are nervous: they are nervous because they are writers. And to be painfully aware, on February twenty-ninth, that one must, by writing, procure $289.32 on or before March thirty-first, makes it possible and probable that he will not even raise the thirty-two cents.
It is because of this paralyzing effect of fixed payments upon the human mind, or certainly upon my mind, that I have now hit upon the happy idea of writing a series of papers, and laying them by to eke out my life-insurance.
There are many advantages in this scheme, beside the obvious one that if I had sold these papers while—or whilst—I yet lived, I should doubtless have spent the money long ago. First, the missus will probably get more of that good money for the MSS than I could possibly have got. For that particular brand of MSS she will have the market cornered, and if there is any demand at all she may make quite advantageous terms. I can find it in my heart to hope that she will be very austere. Second, I may cheerfully say “I” when “I" is what I mean without clumsy subterfuge or foolish circumlocution. It is one of the many advantages of being dead—perhaps the greatest advantage—that you do not have to be modest. In some ways it was very tiresome to be alive.
Third, I may use the humble parenthesis when I see fit; I will be at liberty to fearlessly split infinitives or tensed verbs: last and best, I shall not have to read the proofs.
I think I shall write a little about writing—for two reasons, neither of which reasons is that I have anything particularly new or valuable to say. But I have reason to believe that most readers are writing, or are going to write, or think they are going to write.
There is everything in a name, no matter what Verulam says.
Take the Republican Party of today. So long as one faction submits to be branded as Insurgents or even as Progressives, while the other wing is triumphantly known as Republicans, "Standpatters." or the “Old Guard," we may expect no great changes. But when the radicals shall be known as Republicans and the conservatives are called the "Non-Progressives," then we shall hear tidings.
When the United Slates can plagiarize the Filipinos and get the transaction whitewashed as assimilation, while the writer who really assimilates another man's thought, makes it a part of himself, recoins it and utters it again, will be called a plagiarist—(unless indeed, he is a genius)—I trust we can see that the name of a thing is a question of the very first importance.
Observe that I am not writing of men of genius. No one will accuse the genius of plagiarism. No one—not even Thomas Fleming Day—will accuse Mr. Rudyard Kipling of plagiarism. I suppose the man does not live who would not think it an honor to have Mr. Kipling plagiarize from him.
LAGIARISM is an ugly word. I mean now the word as a word, not the thing. The sound of it is intrinsically ugly, only less hateful than the hideous no-word "pants.” And no one can possibly spell plagiarism without a dictionary.
What curious things men do! We used to write with pens, and then we spelled the word "recie—Wait a minute!—Oh yes!—"received," in full, by means of making “e” and “i” exactly alike and putting the dot half way between the two letters. But with the advent of the typewriter this evasion will no longer serve. Now we spell it “rec'd.”
ERE'S another funny thing. Mr. Jones, a tired business man—every business man is a Tired Business Man nowadays, and it is for his Weariness that musical and other comedies must be silly—dictates his letters. As the stenographer does not usually know the full name and address of the correspondent, Mr. Jones gives that as a preliminary both to save time and as a precaution against forgetting to give it at all. Hence the formal superscription:
This is sensible enough, so far. But, from habit, Mr. Jones uses the same form of superscription when he does the writing himself—(with, perhaps, "My dear Mr. Smith," or "Dear Jim" instead of "Dear Sir")—although the form is then meaningless, since he knows the address without such note. And Thompson, who has no stenographer, and has never dictated a letter, uses the same formal, commercial superscription—because Jones does!
We are all the slaves of habit. We do things every day, merely from the force of habits whose origin we have never known. You have noted that unless the larger horse of a team were driven on the off side you are annoyed or even distressed? This is, of course, because your heart is on your left side. You may say that it is because you are used to that particular arrangement of horses: but did you ever ask yourself why the larger horse is harnessed upon the right side? Let us follow it up: it is really very interesting.
It is because, not so very long since, we had a postilion to drive for us, who rode one of the horses. It was his habit to hitch the smaller horse on the left hand side, because it is easier to get on a small horse than on a larger one and because it was the habit to mount a horse from the left side.
The habit of getting on a horse from the left side was formed because men had the habit of wearing the sword upon the left side: therefore to get upon a horse from the right side while wearing a sword, was not practical; one’s sword would get tangled between one's legs. The habit of wearing the sword on the left side rather than on the right was formed because most men were habitually right-handed; and so could draw easier and quicker from a scabbard on the left. The habit of being right-handed was formed so that the heart might not be easily reached by the oppposing sword: and the sword habit was partly because man is a fighting animal, and partly because he was clever enough to invent something better than teeth and claws to fight with.
We might easily go further and inquire how man acquired the clever habit of thinking—but that would be to set reason to explain itself, a horrible habit, fortunately confined to philosophers.
That chain of thought seems fairly clear; but we are not always so fortunate. Every one knows why Friday is an unlucky day and thirteen an unlucky number, especially the legally hanged; but who has found the mystical bond between the white horse and the red-headed girl? Yet there must have been some reason for this fortunate fact. Come to think of it, the colors go well together.
EASON assures us that waiters wear evening dress because, yesterday or day before, the master was attended by his own man, and the man wore the master's cast-off clothing; but reason throws no light on why the master ever wore evening dress in the first place. Doubtless there is some arbitrary historical cause; but I do not think reason ever had anything to do with evening dress. Perhaps it is of Puritan origin, a species of penance for the sins of the flesh: perhaps it was originally a symbol of devil-worship.
When I was alive, it so often distressingly happened that when I had finished writing a little passage and saw that it was good, I must needs cry out, “There’s that beast Kipling again!”—having discovered that I was once more the victim of a too tenacious memory. To be sure, I could change the phrase from “a contemporary of Nineveh and Tyre” for instance, to “a contemporary of Damascus and Arpad;” but the phrase was none the less stolen for being spoiled, and I was naturally resentful. Therefore, it is easy to see why Mr. Kipling is associated with plagiarism in my mind, because he has so frequently been the plagiarzee—if I may coin a needed word.
There is a great deal more of this unconscious stealing going on than you wot, and I think that no one would be more surprised than some of the guilty parties, who were innocently unaware of it.
I have had the opposite experience too, more than once, and have gravely cut out a good phrase under the impression that it was loot, to find out, too late for publication, that it was of my own authentic make; to say nothing of the numberless cases when I was in doubt, but tacked on quotation marks to be on the safe side. Curiously enough, I once had plagiarism thrust upon me. I used a quotation, with perfectly good quotation marks in the MSS. These were cut out in galley sheets. Twice, I nobly restored them in the proofs; yet the quotation murks were rigorously suppressed, and the booty was finally printed without them, to my great joy.
To plagiarize a man is the surest way as well as the commonest way to disseminate his principles. If you but plagiarize him often enough, you make him immortal, and then you cannot plagiarize him at all. He has become part of the common stock. Do your utmost and you only succeed in making a happy allusion. You cannot plagiarize the Decalogue, or Shakespeare or the Gettysburg Address. Thus, if you have only written something worth while in the first place, the plagiarist is your best friend.
OR, you may cheat, swindle, defraud and steal in merely material ways and walk unsuspected,—honored, anyway. Cases have been known where a box-car has been stolen, or even a whole railroad, and no one the wiser. But the one theft that you cannot commit with impunity is the literary theft. It is not only always detected; it is always detected immediately. True, it is seldom exposed, unless by officious third persons. The wise writer is delighted with this proof of merit; the unwise writer is, commonly, at least prudent enough to let sleeping dogs lie, to ware the deadly parallel column.
One cowardly and popular device is to convey a striking sentiment or a striking phrase by making one of your characters, A or Y, use it in his speech. Thus, if the transfer passes unnoted you get credit for originality: whereas if it is noticed, you still get credit for cleverness in making your man A, or your man Y, so well read and so humanly consistent. This is obviously the safest form of literary theft. But it is a base and unworthy evasion, showing the same meanness of spirit involved in making hedge-bets. I seldom resort to it myself. My talent lies more along the lines of plain piracy.
NE thing more about quotations. If you are trying to convince, in a subtle argument where closest attention is desired, quotation marks are prone to distract attention from the vital matter of what is said to the irrelevant matter of who said it first. It is often advisable to give the weighty passage enforcing (or causing) your views, without the quotation marks; and then, after you have made your point, you may cite the authority who supplied you with your master-stroke. With a little practice you also can acquire the habit of forgetting to name your authority.
If strictly original work were printed in the normal way, and borrowed or ways worked-over material punished and proclaimed by red ink, literature would be one vast red Pacific, sparsely dotted by barren islets of black.
To remold a thought, inspired by enthusiasm and admiration—that beneficent process cannot be stopped without stopping all thought. It is needful, however, to cast into the crucible one new ingredient—yourself. Be you never so light off weight, if you add yourself to the alloy, you are making a legitimate scientific experiment, even though it may be a futile one. But if you do not put yourself into the remolding, you are merely melting down your loot, silver curiously carven, into unrecognizable bullion, for the sake of an ignominious safety. When you do this you are not merely a thief. You are also a wastrel.
Our most commonplace, everyday speech is compounded of forgotten plagiarisms. When we say, “There are more good democrats in Oyster Bay, believe me, kid, than in many a Harmon Club,” we don’t really think of
But Tennyson turns over in his grave, nevertheless.
Lest I forget when I write my forthcoming paper, Notebooks and the Artistic Temperament, let me now urge my little friend legion to exercise great caution in taking down the bright sayings of his friends, for future use. It is not safe. They have such an abominable habit of cribbing their bright sayings from books.
Now for the application. It is commonly said to my little friend Legion: Read the great writers for style. But, I say to him: Read the great dead masters for ideas. Devour them, Fletcherize them, digest, assimilate, make them part of your blood; let the enriched blood visit your brain. The resultant activities will be fairly your own, and the little kinks and convolutions of your brain, which are entirely different from the kinks of any other brain, will furnish you all the style you will ever get.
There are no really fresh ideas; just as there is not any fresh air. air and ideas are refreshed and refreshing, vitalized and vitalizing; but the thoughts have been thought before and the air has been breathed before.
Note, however, that I advise to read the great dead writers for this purpose. This Is for two reasons. The great dead writers will not protest, and there are not many great ones living. For what few there are, they are not apt to protest: but they would make note of it privately and think coldly of you.
I find that I have not been quite honest about my reasons for writing this paper. I am keen about the life insurance feature, right enough. But neither will I be sorry to be remembered—kindly, I hope—for a fleeting second. Then surely, like Gaffer and Granny Tyl in The Bluebird, we live again, we dead, when we are remembered; we move dimly in the spinning mist and smile our love at you.
It is curious to think how highly you would value the slightest word from me from where I am now. Yet, could you really question me, it is like you would ask me about some utterly trivial thing, just as I, could I get word from you, would probably ask you about baseball championships or presidential elections or some equally unimportant matter. For the fact that I still existed would of itself answer the one Important Question; just as the great thing with you is not whether you are a Shakespeare or a coal-heaver, which is a slight and superficial matter. The great thing is, that you exist at all. That is the one incredible miracle.
As a matter of fact, what I feel just now is not regret so much as curiosity as to how it happened. Cyrano wished to die upon a hero's sword. We have few conveniences for such exit now. We are reduced, broadly speaking, to dying of sickness, mental error, adulterated food, doctors of an experimental turn, or motor-cars. Personally. I hope that it was not a motor-car, or at least that it was not an intoxicated motor-car. The idea of being killed by an intoxicated motor-car has always been distastful [sic] to me.
WING to the disgusting and heartless importunities of my creditors, especially of the insurance company, I have been compelled, most reluctantly, to modify my original plan and to dispose of these papers now. This leaves me in a false position, which I feel keenly, and I trust you will share my regret.

Diet and nutrition help our children live healthy life and avoid chronic diseases. Here are reasons why kids should avoid dieting.
Everything in our society revolves around food. What you get inside your body is vital because it affects how well it works. An online debate is raging on whether or not it is appropriate to diet a youngster.
There are various reasons youngsters should not cut back on their calorie intake. In its place, parents, on the other hand, should be engaged in other activities.
Reasons why kids shouldn’t diet.
Diets instruct us to shed pounds to achieve a desirable body mass index (BMI). Outside of this range, the number is considered negative.
Consider how a youngster would be exposed to the data. Because of this, dieting is used to establish one’s size or weight as improper or undesirable. Teaching youngsters about the importance of staying healthy in a positive way and instilling self-confidence is the greatest approach for them to learn about the subject.
For us, weight loss isn’t a goal of dieting. We eat healthily to have more stamina. It doesn’t matter how much your kid weighs; what matters is their ability to play a full kickball game.
Instead of dieting, what can you do?
There are multiple reasons why a child should avoid dieting. The most important thing, though, is maybe to help a youngster develop self-esteem and a positive body image.
Obesity and other health issues are still a problem for those concerned about their well-being. You don’t have to track your weight or keep track of calories to accomplish this. Instead, keeping track of everything you eat in a food journal is better than dieting.
Aside from calculating calories, tracking your food intake can be useful for various reasons. A child’s nutrition should depend on their well-being, development, and growth.
Keeping a journal, knowing about your body’s demands, and establishing delightful meal plans will help you achieve a healthier lifestyle.
Keep a close eye on your child’s food intake for these four reasons.
1. Anxiety and Irritability to Certain Foods
You should keep a food diary for your child if you suspect that they have an allergy to something in particular. Your child may have adverse reactions to specific foods and weight gain.
Your child’s weight may not be the root of their problems. For example, if your child has eczema, a flare-up or rash may be caused by their consumed food. The first jump to creating a meal plan for your child is to figure out what foods they don’t like.
2. Consumption of sugar and salt
People commonly associate sugar and salt with diabetes and high blood pressure when they hear the words.
Misunderstandings of those disorders are just as expected. When it comes to diabetes, it’s not just about how much sweets your youngster can consume. However, you can prevent sugar and salt by keeping track of how much you consume.
Keep a journal to facilitate discussions with your physician. You may also locate healthy alternatives for your child’s favorite sugary snacks using this information.
3. Nutritional intake daily
Regardless of their diet or health conditions, all children require essential vitamins and nutrients to grow and develop mentally and physically.
They won’t need to worry about their weight as long as they get enough vitamin D and calcium, for example, and spend time outside playing.
Find out what they require and then develop new foods to meet their needs. It would help if you talked to your child’s doctor about what they need.
4. Consumption of water
The 1 to 2 liters of water that children require each day is thwarted by their disinterest in drinking it. The salty snack and the juice or other soft drink can make us forget how much water we need.
The amount of water you and your child consume may surprise you. You’ll be able to tell if you’re better off drinking water instead of soda if you do.
You can do many factors to educate your kids if they are at risk of getting sick and becoming lethargic. This does not necessitate a drastic change in your diet. Instead, keep things simple by increasing your child’s playtime and monitoring what they consume.
If you stick with it, you’ll discover what works best over time, and you won’t have to go on a diet to achieve your ideal nutrition.
In fact, you and your children can take part in the enjoyment together. Eat a healthy meal as a family and have some fun! Everyone will enjoy spending time together. There is no need to think of a healthy lifestyle as a diet.
These are just some of the good reasons why kids should avoid dieting and what they should do instead.

His last work was, the history of his own times, wherein he gave his opinion so decidedly on the conduct of different rulers, that he made sycophants and tyrants tremble. About this time his countrymen discovered an unicorn in the woods, which Confucius considered as indicative of his speedy removal; and wiping away the tears, he exclaimed, "my teaching is at an end!" In the forty-first year of King-wang, B. C. 477, Confucius died; when the prince of Loo composed an elegy on his memory, praising his genius, and lamenting his end. His disciples said, "whilst he was alive you did not employ him, and now that he is dead you lament him; how inconsistent!"
Thus it appears, that Confucius, during the greatest part of his life, was engaged in political affairs; and only in his declining years, devoted himself to the establishment of a school of philosophy; his system will therefore be more likely to refer to politics than religion, and the pursuit of temporal, rather than eternal good. In fact, it is a misnomer to call his system a religion, as it has little or nothing to do with theology, and is merely a scheme of ethics and politics, horn which things spiritual and divine are uniformly excluded. In treating of the government of a country, Confucius compared it to the management of a family, and grounds the whole on the due control of one's self, and the right management of the heart. He expressly lays down the golden rule, of doing to others as we should they should do unto us; and lays the foundation of moral conduct in the principle of excusing and

AngularJS Question
Intermittent "Looking up elements via selectors is not supported by jqLite!" when loading AngularJS with RequireJS
I load AngularJS through RequireJS. Most of the time there is no problem but once in a while I get the error:
Uncaught Error: [jqLite:nosel] Looking up elements via selectors is not supported by jqLite!
I know that everything is actually loading so the issue is not with RequireJS not finding the files.
Here is my RequireJS configuration:
require.config({
baseUrl: 'lib/',
paths: {
jquery: 'external/jquery-2.1.1',
angular: 'external/angular',
},
shim: {
angular: {
exports: "angular"
},
},
});
Here is how I load RequireJS and kickstart the load:
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/requirejs/require.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="requirejs-config.js"></script>
<script>
require(["start"]);
</script>
I'm using AngularJS 1.3.0 and RequireJS 2.1.15.
Answer
Intermittent problems like this are usually due to a missing dependency somewhere. Most of the time your modules load in the correct order but that's just due to chance. Once in a while, luck is not on your side and you get undesirable results.
The issue is that AngularJS uses jQuery only optionally. If it is present, then AngularJS uses it. If it is absent, then AngularJS will use a jqLite library, bundled with AngularJS, that supports a subset of what jQuery can do. One important difference is that a statement like:
angular.element('[ng-controller="something"]')
will work only if jQuery is available to AngularJS, and won't work if jqLite is used instead. If RequireJS loads AngularJS before jQuery, then AngularJS will be working without jQuery and the statement will fail.
This can be fixed by changing your AngularJS shim to:
shim: {
angular: {
deps: ['jquery'],
exports: "angular"
},
},

Eight Crossings and 192 Atoms Long: the Tightest Knot Ever Tied
Trilobites British scientists have tied the tightest knot ever tied and, as unlikely as it may seem, this is important. Knots are useful in everyday life and specific kinds of knots are suitable for specific tasks — bowlines, cleats, hitches and nooses all hold things together in different ways. The same is true on the molecular level, where braided or knotted strings of atoms and molecules can be put together in different patterns with varying characteristics. Until now, scientists have been able to create only simple molecular knots with three or five crossings of strands. Now researchers, in a study published in Science, have described a way to tie a much more complicated, and therefore much stronger, knot. Everyone knows, for example, that Kevlar is very strong — impenetrable even to a bullet. But why? Its molecules connect to form long chains that run parallel to each other. Together these molecules form an extremely strong yet flexible material. But the structure of Kevlar is relatively simple: identical molecules packed tightly next to each other like pencils in a pencil box. Knotted or woven strands of molecules, on the other hand, can potentially create an even more flexible, lighter and stronger material — a tightly knit sweater on the molecular level. To create their stronger knot, a team of researchers mixed oxygen, nitrogen and carbon in a solution with metal ions. The organic molecules wrap themselves around sticky iron ions and chloride ions, crossing in just the right ways and at just the right points. The loose ends were then sealed together chemically, forming a completely tied knot with eight crossings. The number of crossings made the knot much tighter than anything that had ever been achieved before at the molecular level. The entire loop is tiny, the length of 192 atoms. David A. Leigh, a chemistry professor at the University of Manchester and a co-author of the study, said that while the technique was still some time away from any practical application, the potential is clear. “Knotting and weaving have led to breakthrough technologies since prehistoric times, when men first learned to make fishing nets or weave fabrics to keep warm,” he said. “Knots are just as important at the molecular level, but we can’t exploit them until we learn how to make them.”

It's more often called a "golden copy" and means the master copy of a data item. It's related to the idea of a single source of truth, although that is subject to interpretation, e.g. the wikipedia entry says that a single source of truth should only be referred to and never copied. Data from a golden copy source may be copied, but all updates should be made to the golden copy and not to other copies.DaveBerry (talk) 17:08, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Effects of Amphetamine Use
1259 Views
Amphetamine drugs come in tablets and capsules that can be taken orally. They can also appear as off-white crystals, chunks and powders, which may be sniffed or injected.
Smokable methamphetamine looks like shaved glass slivers or clear rock salt.
Amphetamines may be prescribed for narcolepsy (attacks of uncontrollable sleepiness) and hyperactivity. They are no longer used medically to treat depression and obesity because of their dangerous side effects.
Because amphetamines increase alertness, energy, and a sense of well-being, they are sometimes used illicitly by truck drivers, shift workers, students, athletes and body builders. But possessing, manufacturing, trafficking, and prescription shopping for amphetamines can result in fines, prison sentences and criminal records.
Some methamphetamine users repeatedly take the drug over several days in order to maintain the euphoria. These binges or “runs” often continue even when agitation and frightening hallucinations replace the feelings of exhilaration.
Effects of Short-term Use
Small doses of amphetamines can make you feel alert and energetic. They can increase your breathing and heart rates, decrease your appetite, and dilate your pupils. They can cause a dry mouth and sleeping problems.
At higher doses, you can experience euphoria. Smoking and injecting amphetamines can produce an extremely pleasurable rush or “flash” that lasts a few minutes.
Side effects include restlessness, shakiness, sweating, anxiety, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, irregular heartbeat and chest pain.
Some users experience feelings of power and superiority. Some become hostile and aggressive.
Overdose can cause delusions, hallucinations, high fever, delirium, seizures, coma, stroke, heart failure and death. Use with alcohol and other drugs is especially dangerous.
Amphetamine users who inject the drug with shared needles risk getting hepatitis and AIDS. Injected particles, which do not dissolve in water, damage blood vessels, kidneys, lungs, and brain tissue.
Effects of Long-Term Use
If you use amphetamines regularly, you can have chronic sleep problems, mood swings, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, weight loss, constipation or diarrhea, and nutritional problems.
High doses of the drug can result in nerve damage, chronic psychosis, paranoia, and hallucinations. Most of these problems disappear a few days or weeks after drug use stops. There is evidence, however, that methamphetamine can cause lasting brain damage.
If you use drugs often, you can develop serious personal problems. Using drugs can become more important than family and friends. You may continue using even when your job or schoolwork is suffering, or when you run into financial, spiritual or legal problems.
Young people who frequently abuse drugs may not learn how to solve problems, handle their emotions and become mature, responsible adults.
Effects of Amphetamines on Pregnancy
Babies born to amphetamine users are more likely to be born prematurely, have low birth weight, and experience withdrawal symptoms like agitation and drowsiness. They may also have an increased risk of birth defects. The drug passes to nursing babies through the mothers’ milk.
Amphetamines and Addiction
Regular amphetamine users develop tolerance. As their body adapts to the drug, they need larger doses to feel the same effects.
After chronic use, even at low doses, users can develop dependence. Cravings can get very intense, and users may go to great lengths to obtain more. They continue to use the drug to avoid the crash they experience when the drug’s effects wear off.
Withdrawal from amphetamine use can result in extreme tiredness, disturbed sleep, anxiety, hunger, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

516 suggested that the petition to the Governor should first be withdrawn and an application for clemency made to the Court by prisoner's Counsel, released Mr. Welsh as soon as these conditions were complied with. To mark its sense of the proceedings, the Chamber of Commerce, at its next meeting, elected Mr. Welsh as Member of the Chamber. Another sensational event of the same year was a duel fought with pistols (July 29, 1872), on Kowloon Peninsula, on account of some card debt dispute between the Consuls for Spain and Peru, the latter being wounded in the arm. Warrants for the arrest of every person present at the affair were issued, but bail was allowed. The two duellists were tried in Supreme Court (August 25, 1872) and, having pleaded guilty, were fined each in the sum of $200.
Quite a number of new institutions brightened social life in the Colony during this period, the year 1872 being specially productive in this respect. The Philharmonic Society (Choral Society) which had been established in July 1872, gave concerts every winter, including also a choral festival held at the Cathedral (April 18, 1876). A Debating Society was established in July 1872 but came to an end in the following year. A series of lectures given at the City Hall found considerable favour with the public. The undertaking was inaugurated in the presence of the Governor (November 5, 1872) by a lecture on Hongkong reminiscences by Dr. Legge, and followed by four other lectures, by Dr. Dennys on Folklore (November 19, 1872), by Dr. Eitel on Fengshui (December 6, 1872), by on Jesuitism (December 19, 1872) and by Mr. J. W. Torrey on American Humourists (February 4, 1873). Another institution of the year 1872 is the Victoria Recreation Club which was formed (May, 1872) by the amalgamation of the Boat Club, Gymnasium and Swimming Bath, and opened in its new form on 30th November, 1872. The publication of the China Punch was resumed on 5th November, 1872, and continued at irregular intervals until 22nd November, 1876, when its talented editor (Middleton) left

Abstract
Temporal integration in the visual system causes fast-moving objects to leave oriented 'motion streaks' in their wake, which could be used to facilitate motion direction perception. Temporal integration is thought to occur over 100 ms in early cortex, although this has never been tested for motion streaks. Here we compare the ability of fast-moving ('streaky') and slow-moving fields of dots to mask briefly flashed gratings either parallel or orthogonal to the motion trajectory. Gratings were presented at various asynchronies relative to motion onset (from to ms) to sample the time-course of the accumulating streaks. Predictions were that masking would be strongest for the fast parallel condition, and would be weak at early asynchronies and strengthen over time as integration rendered the translating dots more streaky and grating-like. The asynchrony where the masking function reached a plateau would correspond to the temporal integration period. As expected, fast-moving dots caused greater masking of parallel gratings than orthogonal gratings, and slow motion produced only modest masking of either grating orientation. Masking strength in the fast, parallel condition increased with time and reached a plateau after 77 ms, providing an estimate of the temporal integration period for mechanisms encoding motion streaks. Interestingly, the greater masking by fast motion of parallel compared with orthogonal gratings first reached significance at 48 ms before motion onset, indicating an effect of backward masking by motion streaks.

Reading content in base64
Question asked by drfie on Apr 22, 2011
Hi,
is there any possibility to read content in base64 encoding? I mean reading the content through the web services interface? I have found that it is possible for writing.
Or do I have to use something like what is in /java/org/alfresco/webservice/util/ContentUtils.java::getContentAsString?
Like
content_client = Client( alfresco_content_wsdl, wsse=security )
content = content_client.service.read( pred,
'{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content' )
url = content[0].url + "?ticket=" + session.ticket
req = urllib2.Request(url)
handle = urllib2.urlopen(req)
data = handle.read()
This works for me but I am afraid of some possible future authentication issues - urllib2 is a python library that is unaware of alfresco. Is the session ticket (and the URL of course) really all that is needed to download the data?

User:AndroidCat
This user loathes vanity pages with pretty badges and awards, and especially hates cutesy signatures that include multiple colours, fonts, graphics and sometimes even hides the actual user name. (What's next, signature theme music?)
Currently having fun with TiddlyWiki for amassing references of Scientology in the media, complete with Wikipedia cite templates.
Courtesy copy of my RFAR workshop reply
The Requests for arbitration/Scientology/Workshop page has been blanked for courtesy to some users, however, for those unfamiliar with Wikipedia article history logs, who are here to read the still visible decision page, my workshop reply has now been hidden from view so I have reproduced it here.
Comment by AndroidCat:
* 4 years of editing one of the the most contentious, polarized and heated topics on Wikipedia.
* Current Score: 0 warnings, 0 blocks.
* Crotalus horridus and edit warring
* Cool Hand Luke and Crotalus horridus call it WP:SYNTH and WP:OR, but ignore that almost no one else did. The WP:NOR/Noticeboard came to no such decision (some there were of the opinion that at least part of the disputed text should be allowable. For: Jack-A-Roe, Will Beback; Against: Jayjg) and eventually passed it back to the article Talk page. I made a Good-faith attempt to try to find an accommodation because I didn't believe that all of it was WP:SYNTH, WP:OR, or "investigative reporting". I am curious about to Crotalus horridus singling out that bit only since the rest is so poor that one editor (Blueboar) on the board said he would later nominate it for AfD if there was no improvement.
* Also, if Crotalus horridus is a neutral editor, why was there an obvious sweep through Scientology related articles starting on 12-8-2008? (Is that a POINT attempt to shift the very benchmark of non-notability? Something's up there. ;)
* BLP in David Miscaviage article
* ref with cite: Jesse Prince affidavit, United States District Court for the District of Colorado, Bridge Publications Inc v. Factnet Inc; Lawrence Wollersheim; Robert Penny, Civil Action No. 95-K-2143, 1998
* At that time, court documents were generally believed to be verifiable published documents and secondary sources. Later that was cleared up, and a large number of similar references, pro and critical, were removed from the articles. (Although I still see affidavits dropped into articles as if they were secondary sources.)
* When it went to mediation months later, Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-08-31 David Miscavige, it was concluded after much back and forth that it wasn't a secondary source and therefore Jesse Prince's statement wasn't notable and couldn't be used. Yes, with two years hindsight, considerable clarification of the policy and guideline articles, and retro-moderation, it was a BLP violation, but at the time it was a Good Faith attempt to prevent a verifiable reference from being removed.
* Tag-Team edit
* I don't use any real time communications with other editors, and respond slowly and sporadically even to email.
* I prefer not to communicate with other editors via hidden off-Wiki channels precisely to avoid being seen as a member of a team.
* If there was a team, it would have been a lot better coordinated, and we would have had uniforms and a strategy playbook.
* Reference improvement project
* It was obvious that the articles suffered massively from a large number of extremely poor references: non-RS personal opinion pages, copyvio "convenience copies" of news articles on POV sites, primary sources, or especially no sources at all.
* Not only was this bad for the quality of the articles, they were flashpoints for conflict, which would only get worse with the growing strictness of applying WP:RS.
* In 2007, while digging up enough references to clean up and fix the Fight Against Coercive Tactics Network article (Successfully), I noticed that there were a growing number of news articles available at free access newspaper archive sites, however most of these didn't show up in Google searches, but only in a search at the archive. Meanwhile, Google searches on any Scientology-related topic usually returned with the first few pages of results full of the same poor non-RS, copyvio references already in use.
* I decided to gather all available news stories with links to newspaper sites. I started with the ones already in use in Wikipedia articles, added some from Google searches, and archive searches directly at a number of newspaper sites. (TIME Magazine, New York Times, The Times, The Guardian, St. Petersburg Times, Seattle Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Denver WestWord, Los Angeles Times...)
* Once I had the links, I extracted the information from the stories needed to fill Wikipedia cite templates: title, author, publishing date, publisher, etc, as well as a short summary, if the article was an opinion or editorial piece and various keyword tags to help find articles. (The last is ongoing.) There are currently 18 secondary copy links in the list, of various types (not all copyvio), but those are clearly tagged.
* I have made this list available to all editors in flat HTML, TiddlyWiki format with copy/paste cite templates (works best in FF3 on a good machine), and raw DB format on request. The list currently has 1978 articles, with a few hundred in the backlog.
* From this list, I have replaced a number of "convenience copies" throughout the articles with links to the actual stories, added quite of number of cites, supplied lists of cites for problem articles which needed references (usually to the Talk page to reduce disruption and messy reading lists). For example RTC Cult Awareness Network, no time to dig up others...
* I have no usage tracking, so I don't know how many other editors are using it or how often. As one side effect, many news articles have been raised in Google rank (even from archives not otherwise listed in Google), making it more likely that the article will be found before the "convenience copies". (Yes, there are still a number of these "convenience copies" of news articles, and they do tend to creep back in. *shrug* Note: there is publication permission for most of the books.)
* I doubt I can take credit for the period of relative peace until the end of last year, but I do think that the availability of RS references has made it easier to remove dubious cites without a fight over it and less likely for fights over IDONTLIKEIT attempts to remove solid references.
* I'm sure the complaint will be made that the list is biased towards critical articles, and that may be valid—however, if this is true, it is not my bias, but an inherent bias of the available news stories—I've gathered what I could.
* As time permits, I've also been attempting to gather academic articles for addition to broaden the views represented.
* Notable critics
* Cool Hand Luke has said that he received several emails about off-Wiki activity by myself and others, but has said nothing about the contents. (Perhaps in some secret channel?) He has also darkly alluded to a list of hidden notable critics editing on Wikipedia, but while few names have been named, I feel I should address this tarring with broad brushstrokes.
* I do not run a critical web site.
* I have been involved in no legal actions involving Scientology.
* I do post (as AndroidCat) to alt.religion.scientology, as have a number of editors, pro and critical. It is a Usenet newsgroup (an Alt group, technically), it is not an "Internet organization". There is no membership, no central committee, no approval of joining. As Usenet continues to fade away, I don't think anyone would describe it as important or influential in any way.
* I have used the same user name to edit on Wikipedia for 4 years for candor, transparency, and honesty about that.
* I don't consider myself a notable critic, or a WP:NOTABLE one either.
* I have not contributed or posted to Operation Clambake, am not a career anti-Scientologist, and never got the t-shirt.
Current Wikipedia state: Extremely High Insult!
Since the voting Arbcom (User:Roger Davies, User:Rlevse, User:Cool Hand Luke, User:Casliber, User:Wizardman, User:Risker, User:FloNight, User:Kirill Lokshin, User:Coren, User:Jayvdb) (with absention of User:Newyorkbrad) labeled all my edits prior to 2009-05-28 as single purpose account, I see absolutely no reason to contribute to article space except as suits my whims. I would certainly have agreed with "tends to edit Scientology topics too much", "the cabal has decided that he needs to take a year off", or the otherwise used "primarily focused on Scientology-related articles" would have been acceptable to me. But no, the Arbcom at that time completely stomped all over the Five Pillars, and specifically labeled me as "AndroidCat is a Scientology-focused single purpose account". Here's the rub: I'm far more proud of the references that I added to Motorcycle safety than anything involving Scientology. So as a labeled SPA, what are those non-scientology edits? Are they some kind of deception, a ruse, they don't count? What?
Until I receive a retraction or an apology, I will tend to be a mite prickly on the subject.
By the way, if anyone has a copy of the back-channel Arbcom deliberations (if any) on that arbitration, Wikileaks might be your friend.

How Long Does Rohypnol Stay In Your System? Rohypnol Drug Test
Last Updated: May 6, 2024
Roger Weiss Authored by Roger Weiss, MD
0 sources cited
Rohypnol is a drug that was developed with the intent to ease the pain associated with several illnesses. This drug has been shown to hold so much potential, and we see more acceptability from the public. Although the knowledge of Flunitrazepam isn’t as widely spread as the usage, passing across vital information is quite essential.
In this post, we have decided to elucidate on the drug Flunitrazepam and the process of detection. We would focus on the detection methods and windows when ingested.
Rohypnol Detection Before And After The Ingestion
Original Rohypnol tablets are odorless and colorless, making the substance hard to detect. The more recent version of Flunitrazepam has a blue dye in the pills, which is not visible until the tablet is put into a light-colored drink. The drink turns blue if such a tablet is dissolved in it. Since the half-life of Rohypnol is 16-35 hours, the temporary amnesia that a person experiences for approximately a day after the ingestion of the drug can make it hard to test in time to detect the substance. The most reliable Flunitrazepam test is urine screening. Hair samples can also be tested to detect it in the person’s system two weeks after the substance was consumed.
Doctor fills drug testing results form.
Symptoms of Flunitrazepam Use
There are steps people can take to protect themselves against being roofied. However, these are not foolproof. As such, everyone should know the symptoms of Rohypnol, allowing them to hopefully realize what has happened to them while they still have the chance to seek help.
Rohypnol symptoms that can occur when being secretly drugged include:
• feeling drunk without drinking alcohol or feeling drunk on less alcohol than it would usually take
• experiencing an euphoria
• struggling with speech
• trouble with coordination
• nausea and vomiting, especially if drugged with a very high dose
• the sudden desire to do things one otherwise would not
• struggles with recalling basic information, such as name, address, and age
Old lady feels a headache.
The problem with recognizing Rohypnol symptoms is that they so closely mimic alcohol intoxication that as long as the victim was drinking, they are unlikely to think anything is amiss, beyond a strong drink.
Detection: How Long Does Rohypnol Stay In Your System?
Detecting Rohypnol in the body is one challenge that has been discussed in most quarters. This is because regulations still abound concerning the administration of the drug. Although the drug is administered to tackle various medical conditions, detecting misuse is quite important.
Half-Life
Flunitrazepam stays in the system for a relatively long time. It is typical for benzodiazepine drugs. The elimination half-life of Rohypnol is reported to be between 16 and 35 hours.
Absorption
Flunitrazepam is a pill with a 64-77% oral absorption rate. The peak concentrations of the drug in a person’s system occur 30-90 minutes after ingestion. The effects of Rohypnol last for approximately 12 hours due to the high absorption rate and a prolonged half-life.
Metabolism
For how long Roofies stays in one’s system depends largely on how it is metabolized. Flunitrazepam, the main active component of the drug, is fat-soluble. Flunitrazepam is metabolized by the liver into its major metabolite 7-aminoflunitrazepam and two minor metabolites: desmethyl-flunitrazepam and 3-hydroxy flunitrazepam. It means that once Flunitrazepam enters a person’s system, it will have varying effects depending on how much body fat the person has, among other factors.
Rohypnol drug test results form.
Factors that can influence Flunitrazepam detection time:
• Dose
• Age
• Body mass index (BMI)
• Polysubstance abuse
• Frequency and duration of use
How Long Does Roofies Stay in Your System? Detection Windows
The main issue with performing a benzodiazepines drug test is the lasting effects of the drug that prevent a person from getting help soon enough. When only a residual amount of the drug is left in the person’s system, it is incredibly difficult to identify it without an objective Rohypnol drug test. At the same time, the temporary amnesia caused by flunitrazepam can last for a day or longer, preventing the individual from getting tested.
The psychological aspect can also play a huge role in the victim’s decision to get a Rohypnol drug test. Some people might feel embarrassed or worried about legal issues since Flunitrazepam for medical use is not approved in the US.
There are several options, however, that make it possible to detect the drug in a person’s system even weeks after it was ingested.
Rohypnol Urine Test
If a person decides to get a Flunitrazepam test within 60 hours after the consumption of the drug, the best option is to collect a urine sample and pass it for testing. Laboratories will search for up to nine specific metabolites associated with Roofies. However, sometimes a Rohypnol urine test might be able to identify the substance days after it was consumed. In that case, a person can go to a clinic, explain the situation and receive directions that will best fit their situation.
Rohypnol Hair Test
If the first 60 hours have passed, hair samples can be screened to detect the substance. A Rohypnol hair test like this should be administered approximately two weeks after the drug was consumed. Like the majority of other medications, benzodiazepines like Flunitrazepam can be detected in hair with a well-administered Rohypnol hair test for up to 90 days after the ingestion of the drug.
Rohypnol Blood Test
Since blood screening is not frequently administered to detect this substance, some people wonder whether Flunitrazepam shows up on a blood test at all. In fact, this type of testing can detect concentrations of it that are as low as 4 ng/ml. A Rohypnol blood test can detect the drug 24 hours after it was consumed. This can be quite helpful during cases of sexual assault in helping the authorities find traces of the involvement of Flunitrazepam in the victim’s bloodstream.
Rohypnol Self-Administered Test
Certain companies offer kits that a person can use to take a sample and then send it back for screening. While this is a valid option for some, it is important to remember that a Flunitrazepam test administered by medical professionals is more reliable.

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Natalia Kills discography/archive1
* The following is an archived discussion of a featured list nomination. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates. No further edits should be made to this page.
The list was promoted by User:Giants2008 10:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC).
Natalia Kills discography
* Nominator(s): prism △ 11:29, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
I am nominating this for featured list because Natalia Kills-related articles are mostly of low quality here on Wikipedia and she doesn't have a devoted WikiProject or even a medium number of fans here. After seeing the discographies for Ashley Tisdale, Rihanna and Katy Perry, I decided I wanted to organize the discography for Kills to make it of, well, featured list quality. I have been working on it for the few past days, I've asked for assistance to an user that has successfully made an FL discography, and he has been very helpful. As this is my first nomination, I will try to address all the problems observed and helpful commentaries, though, '''please say something more than just 'Support' or 'Oppose'. Please present your reasons and give me constructive criticism, not just a mere word that will not help the outcome of this.''' Thank you in advance. prism △ 11:29, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
* Appears to be in good shape. Just one question: Any particular reason this was nominated for FL before it reached GA? XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 13:50, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
* This sort of article does not qualify for GA. Thank you for the comment, but, please read the first sentence of my text. You need to present reasons for why you think this is worthy of being an FL, and improvements to references, text, or wikitables. As you aren't familiarized with featured lists, please check the required criteria. prism △ 13:54, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
* Specifically, it is quite organized. If anything, I would just say to keep adding content as her career goes forward. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 23:42, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
* "titled "Don't Play Nice"" - "entitled" would be the more appropriate word choice
* "She began her musical career by releasing a standalone single, titled "Don't Play Nice", under the alias of Verbalicious, with label All Around the World,[1] which reached number eleven in the United Kingdom." - this needs to be split. Also do not link United Kingdom.
* "that debuted at number 134 on the U.S. Billboard 200" - "that" should be replaced by "which". Also, as Kills is English and America is not her main market, the emphasis should not be put on Billboard charting only, considering the fact that the album also charted in the UK.
* "including "Mirrors", which amongst other charts, peaked at number 10 in Germany" - I question the placement of commas in this sentence. I believe it is better off as "including "Mirrors" which, amongst other charts, peaked at number 10 in Germany"
* Any particular reason to mention German charting? I see the song cracked the top ten in Austria too, so the sentence can end with something like "including "Mirrors", which was able to reach the top ten in Austria and Germany"
* If the release month for Trouble is mentioned, then why not do the same for Perfectionist?
* "Her second record, Trouble, was released in September 2013, and debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at number seventy" Consider making one sentence for release an one for charting
✅
* If separated by a semi-colon "the latter of which" does not need the "of which" part
* Stay consistent with the release date regions. Pick one region and list all the release dates for that particular region.
* I'm very sorry but I don't really understand your commentary. Does that mean if I have France on the wikitable, I should only list release dates for that country?
* Just a note: WP:DISCOGSTYLE says "Earliest release date". I don't think the release date regions have to be consistent. Decodet (talk) 15:22, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
* Any better source for UK charts? --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:29, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
* Sorry, though Zobbel and UKChartsPlsu are used in some GAs. I don't really appreciate them being used, but I've checked the Official Charts Company website and they have deleted her entries.
* You must make a footnote in the table to explain what "—" denotes
* Oops! I've added it.
* UK chart citation does not mention supporting source for "Don't Play nice" peak
* Considering that there are a lot of problems ahead, and the fact that this is a relatively short article, I am inclined to Oppose its promotion. However, a thorough and quick cleansing and fixing of noticeable problems might make me reconsider my stance. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:29, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
* I think I have done every thing you've asked for now, but let me know if they aren't, because sometimes Wikipedia doesn't process some edits, as you know. prism △ 14:47, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
* I have gone through the changes, and due to the following of the suggestions listed below, I must say this article seems good now. Simple and broad. Hence I support it now. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 18:10, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Quick comments made a couple of changes, but please reduce the SHOUTING in some of the ref titles, and for non-English refs, please include the language. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:28, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
* Thank you, though I left the capitalized letters like they were in the original websites. I'll work on them right away. prism △ 15:30, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
✅ ✅ for the albums, though I didn't add such information for singles, as it is unnecessary. For "Mirrors", it isn't needed, since it already states that it was "able to reach the top 10" in other two countries. If you know what I mean.
* In the introduction, all numbers 10 or higher do not need to be spelled out. If you choose to, please pick a consistent style to follow.
* In the introduction, I would also list the UK charts' performances before the Billboard information, since England is her primary market.
* As mentioned by The Rambling Man, I see a couple citations that list their titles in all-caps.
* For iTunes Store references, please include the abbreviation of the country the references link to. For example, if one of the links directs to the British iTunes, you should put "iTunes Store (GB). Apple Inc." in the publisher parameter.
* For Ultratop references, please add Hung Medien to the publisher parameter along with it.
This list looks to be in good shape, and after the adjustments are made, I don't have an issue with supporting its promotion. Good work! WikiRedactor (talk) 15:47, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
link.
* Linking "New Zealand" in the lead is overlinking.
* Per WP:DISCOGSTYLE, the standard size for abbreviated country names is 90%, and should be replaced with small.
dots
* Also in the lead, U.S. → US

Drug Facts About Kratom Capsules: What They Are, Side Effects, and MoreIntroduction: What Are Kratom capsulesKratom capsules can either be used as stimulant(at very low levels), or a sedative(at very high levels). You cannot find these capsules in places like Thailand or Australia. However, you can find them here in the US. Some government agencies tried to get the drug banned. Many of them starting to categorize it as a Category One stimulant(kind of in the vain of other drugs like heroin and ectasy). That ban has been put on hold due to health experts needing more investigations conducted on the capsules.What Effects Does The Drug Have?It depends on how the person is and their overall objective with Kratom. Some people take it as mild stimulant. This works to improve concentration and helps you to be more alert.Others take between 10-25 grams of Kratom. These are the people who want to get a euphoric feeling. They want to feel sedated and calm inside(to the point where they are numb and feel nothing). Now some argue that trying to find Bizarro Incense online can give you the same feeling. Some have even gone so far as to use them in combating opioid addiction. Opioid addiction can very painful(I speak from personal experience). That is why some use Kratom. It proves to be a safer alternative to ween off of the opioids. Are These Capsules Safe To Use(Even Recreationally)?In speaking with many health experts, many do not have a concrete answer for the question. Some health experts argue there is a component(Alkalids), which could prove to be equally as fatal. The reason is that the component sends similar receptive signals to the brain that opioids and heroin do(as well as other drugs listed under the category). Some doctors have gone so far as to say that the capsules can be just as addictive(espeiclaly if taken in high doses, and over a long period). Doctors argue that some men and women could go through similar withdrawal symptoms(like other addictive drugs)including hallucinations, muscle spasms, difficulty with sleeping(especially when you try to stop using them), and nausea. Other ConcernsThere is another issue concerning the capsules. Back in 2018, the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning about the capsules. According to their report, there was small outbreak of salmonella in at least 20 different states. According to those same reports, the capusles was a related factor within the outbreak itself. Now, to be clear, the results of this outbreak were not deemed “deadly” concerning the capsules, but it was enough to garner attention. Many argued the way the capusles had been packaged helped to contribute to the outbreak of salmonella. The other issue is that the capsules are not officially regulated(through the FDA). There are still a lot of questions that need to be answered about the capsules and the overall use. Experts suggest that you should speak with your doctor(or attending physician) before you start to take them.

Al Lolotai
Albert Lolotai (June 22, 1920 – September 30, 1990) was a Samoa-born American football offensive lineman. He played college football at Weber Junior College. Lolotai was the first Samoan American and Polynesian to play professional American football.
After his football career was over, Lolotai worked as a professional wrestler throughout Australasia, at one time holding a belt as Hawaiian heavyweight wrestling champion.
Early years
Al Lolotai was born in the Western Samoa Trust Territory and came to Hawaii with his family at the age of 9, knowing just three words of English. He grew up in the town of Laie. He attended Kahuku High School and graduated from 'Iolani School in Honolulu, Hawai'i.
He then attended Weber Junior College (now Weber State University) in Ogden, Utah, playing on the Weber Wildcats football team from 1941 to 1942, and served in the Hawaii Territorial Guard during World War 2.
Pro football career
From 1945 to 1949, Lolotai played professional football, first in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins in 1945 before jumping to the Los Angeles Dons of the rival All-America Football Conference in 1946. As a member of the Redskis, Lolotai started at guard as a rookie and helped take his team to the 1945 Championship Playoff, a defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Rams.
Lolotai remained with the Dons until the end of the league in 1949. He played in a total of 59 games with 32 starts across the two professional leagues, additionally recording one interception with Washington in 1945.
Wrestling career
After his time in pro football, Lolotai worked as a professional wrestler in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Samoa. He at one time held the title of Hawaiian heavyweight wrestling champion.
Athletic director
Lolotai would return to school and graduate with a Masters degree in physical education from Colorado A&M, working his way through school as a line coach for the Rams football team. With the founding of Church College of Hawaii in 1955, serve as its first Athletic Director. He mentored many of the young Samoan football players coming up in the Laie community to keep up with their studies, get into good schools, and helped set them up for their future.
A British citizen from birth, Lolotai renounced his British citizenship in 1961 to become a naturalized American citizen. He was the founder of the American Samoan Community Association and served a term as president of Big Brothers of Hawaii.
In his later years he returned to Samoa at the request of its government, helping the establish its high school football program, for which he continued to coach until his death.
Death and legacy
Al Lolotai died September 30, 1990, in Pago Pago, American Samoa. He was 70 years old at the time of his death.
He was survived by his wife, Matilda Lolotai, five sons, and a daughter.
One of his sons, Tiloi, also attended 'Iolani School and then went to play football for Colorado as a defensive tackle, lettering from 1974 to 1976.

If not, see . .\" .\" }}} .\" .TH CHECKUP_DAEMON 8 "Jan 2, 2006" "Emulab" "Emulab Commands Manual" .OS .SH NAME checkup_daemon \- Daemon that periodically performs checkups on the testbed hardware and software. .SH SYNOPSIS .BI checkup_daemon [\fB-hd\fR] .SH DESCRIPTION The .B checkup_daemon executes regular checkups on the testbed so as to proactively uncover any hardware or software problems. The daemon itself acts primarily as a manager and relies on NS files or scripts to perform the necessary testing of objects in the testbed. For example, to perform a checkup on the experimental interfaces of a node, the daemon creates an experiment that runs linktest and terminates itself if there were no problems. If there was a problem, an email is sent to testbed-ops and the checkup stays in a locked state until a human can have a look at the problem. Once the checkup finishes, either because there was no problem or it was resolved, the next checkup is scheduled. .SH CONFIGURATION The configuration for the .B checkup_daemon is derived from the testbed database. The schedule for the objects to be checked and the type of checks is stored in the .I checkups table and has the following fields: .TP .I object The "object" identifier. The objects under test are pretty loosely defined at the moment, so it is possible to schedule checkups for things that have no real representation in the rest of the testbed. .TP .I type The type of checkup to perform on this object. .TP .I next The next time this checkup should be run on this object. .P The .I checkup_types table provides additional information for each type of check to be applied to an object and has the following fields: .TP .I checkup_type The checkup type identifier and the name of the script or NS file to execute. Scripts must be stored in "/usr/testbed/libexec/checkup" and NS files must be stored in "/usr/testbed/lib/checkup" with a ".ns" extension. .TP .I object_type The type of object this checkup can be applied to. This field is usually used in conjunction with the major_type field, for example, to automatically schedule checkups for nodes of a given type. .TP .I major_type The "major" type of an object. This field is used by the daemon to perform some additional actions, for example, doing some setup before executing the checkup on an object. Currently, the actions are hardcoded into the daemon itself. .TP .I expiration The number of seconds after a checkup that the next checkup should be run. .SH MAJOR TYPES The currently recognized major types are as follows: .TP node The .I node major type indicates that the object identifier is a physical node name and should be prereserved so the checkup can be run in a timely fashion. .SH NS\-BASED CHECKUPS The first method of performing a checkup is to use an NS file that can be run as a batch experiment. The daemon will create an experiment with the NS file and wait for it to terminate itself or for an error to be reported through the event system. If an error is reported, the experiment will stay swapped in until a testbed operator can diagnose the problem and swap out the experiment. .P Arguments are passed to the NS file through the following TCL variables: .TP opt(CHECKUP_OBJECT) The identifier of the object to be tested. .TP opt(OBJECT_TYPE) The object type as listed in the checkup_types table. .TP opt(MAJOR_TYPE) The major type as listed in the checkup_types table. .SH SCRIPT\-BASED CHECKUPS Checkups that don't make sense as NS file can be implemented using a script. The daemon executes the script in a polling fashion, therefore, scripts that take longer than a few seconds to execute should daemonize and report when the daemon finishes the next time the script is executed. The script is started in its own working directory and passed the following arguments: .TP .I object The object to operate on. .TP .I state The current state of the checkup. See .B ACTIVE CHECKUP STATES below for an explanation of the states. .P The script is then expected to return one of the following error codes: .TP 0 The checkup has finished successfully. .TP 10 The checkup is still running. .TP .I other The checkup failed. An email containing the output of the script will be sent to testbed-ops and the checkup will be placed in the "locked" state. .SH ACTIVE CHECKUP STATES .TP .B new The checkup was just made active. For NS based checkups, the experiment is created here and added to the batch queue. For script based checkups, the script should report success immediately or daemonize and exit with status 10. .TP .B running The checkup is still running. Script based checkups should poll the status of the daemon here. .TP .B locked The checkup is locked and waiting for human intervention. Unlocking an NS based checkup is done by swapping out the experiment, the daemon will then take care of terminating the experiment. Script based checkups should provide their own method of unlocking the checkup. .SH EXAMPLES .PP To add a new checkup type that is rerun every seconds on an object: .PP .RS mysql> insert into checkup_types set checkup_type='mytest', expiration=60; .RE .PP To schedule a "mytest" checkup for the "foo" object: .PP .RS mysql> insert into checkups set object='foo', type='mytest', next=NOW(); .RE .PP To add a new checkup for all pc600's that is rerun every day: .PP .RS mysql> insert into checkup_types set object_type='pc600', major_type='node', checkup_type='hwtest.ns'; .RE .SH FILES .TP /usr/testbed/lib/checkup/ Directory that holds NS files that can perform a checkup. .TP /usr/testbed/lib/checkup/linktest.ns NS file used to check the experimental interfaces on a node. XXX It is currently hardwired to test for four interfaces. .TP /usr/testbed/libexec/checkup/ Directory that holds scripts that can perform a checkup. .TP /usr/testbed/libexec/checkup/example_checkup Example checkup script that demonstrates the "protocol" between the checkup_daemon and a checkup script. .TP /users/elabckup/ckup-* The working directories for any active script based checkups. .SH AUTHOR The Emulab project at the University of Utah. .SH NOTES The Emulab project can be found on the web at .IR http://www.emulab.net

Speck
Speck can refer to a number of European cured pork products, typically salted and air-cured and often lightly smoked but not cooked. In Germany, speck is pickled pork fat with or without some meat in it. Throughout much of the rest of Europe and parts of the English-speaking culinary world, speck often refers to South Tyrolean speck, a type of Italian smoked ham. The term speck became part of popular parlance only in the eighteenth century and replaced the older term bachen, a cognate of bacon.
Regional varieties
There are a number of regional varieties of speck, including:
* Bacon, e.g. Frühstücksspeck ("breakfast speck") in Germany
* Gailtaler speck from Austria, with PGI status, which has been made since the 15th century in the Gail Valley ("Gailtal") in Carinthia
* Schinkenspeck, German "ham bacon", typically made from a flat cut of ham with fat along one side resembling bacon, and traditionally soaked for several days in brine with juniper berries and peppercorn
* Speck Sauris PGI, from Sauris, Friuli, Italy
* Speck Alto Adige PGI, from South Tyrol, Italy
* Tyrolean speck from Austria's Tyrol region, which has PGI status, and has been made since at least the 15th century
* Ukrainian salo
* Proshute, Albanian speck
Jewish deli speck
In Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, in which bacon (like all pork) is forbidden as unkosher, "speck" commonly refers to the subcutaneous fat on a brisket of beef. It is a particular speciality of delis serving Montreal-style smoked meat, where slices of the fatty cut are served in sandwiches on rye bread with mustard, sometimes in combination with other, leaner cuts.

1. Who is Eratosthenes?
Eratosthenes of Cyrène was a Greek mathematician, geographer, poet, astronomer and music theorist. He was the chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria. He is commonly called the « father of geography ». He is also the first person who made the first measurement of the size of Earth for which any details are known. And in mathematical research, he created the sieve which is an efficient way to find all prime Numbers between 1 and N.
2. Sieve
Sieve is a very simple and ancient algorithm. During a long time, it was the best algorithm for finding all prime numbers between 1 and N. And, it’s the reason why it’s a very good algorithm for training session.
Now Atkin’s sieve is the best algorithm but this one is more complex to implement.
Principes of sieve are very simple. Let’s see ! We just need a grid with number from 0 to N
• At beginning all numbers are present
• Then we remove the 0. (For example, we change the background color to gray)
Grid 1
• For the example, we will change the background of all prime Numbers to green.
Grid 2
• We start the algorithm at 2. We can see that 2 is in the grid so it’s a prime number.
grid 3
• Then, we have to remove all multiples of 2
grid 4
• After 2, we try 3. The number 3 is in the grid so it’s a primer number
• We have to remove all multiples of 3
grid 7
• We continue on 4. As we can see 4 has been removed from the grid so it’s not a prime number.
• We continue with 5. 5 is in the grid, so it’s a prime number.
grid 8
• Then, we remove all the multiples of 5
grid 9
• We continue with 6 which is not in the grid.
• We continue with 7. 7 is in the grid so it’s a prime number.
grid 10
• Then we remove all the multiples of 7
grid 11
• We have to continue until finishing with that situation.
grid 12
3. Python and the Sieve
Sieve is a simple algorithm and it’s very adapted to train beginners who want to learn Python basis :
• Work on naive implementation allows the developer to work on list ;
• To minimize the memory consumption, we can work on large integers
• Or we can use « set » objects
Each way to do will help the beginners to develop new skills and improve his understanding of Python. For each case, we’ll create a specific python function to contain the algorithm.
Naive implementation
Naive implementation allows developer to manipulate list / array (creation, access through index), to use loops and conditions. It’s a good way to start !
In fact, the grid is an array where indices are the Numbers and values are True (It’s a prime number) or False (it isn’t a prime number). The first step consists in creating an array of (n+1) elements all initialized at True : (n+1) is needed to have all numbers from 0 to n included. There are several ways to do that :
• A loop
t = []
for i in range( n + 1 ) :
t.append( True )
• In using generator
t = [ True for i in range( n + 1 ) ]
• The best method
t = [ True ] * ( n + 1 )
The second step consists in wirting the main loop. Then extract the list of prime Numbers :
def primes_naive_1( n ) :
N = n + 1
t = [ True ] * N
for i in range( 2, N ) :
if t[ i ] :
# ‘i’ is a prime number
for j in range( i+i, N, i ) : # now we remove all ‘i’ multiples
t[ j ] = False
# extract the list of prime numbers
return [ i for i in range( 1, N ) if t[ i ] ]
Improve the naive implementation
That part allows the developer to improve its algorithmic skills.
When we test each index one after other, we try all even Numbers but, if 2 is a prime number, all other even Numbers are multiples of 2. So testing the even number is useless. We can adapt the algorithm to separate the odd and even Numbers.
def primes_naive_2( n ) :
N = n + 1
t = [ True ] * N
# remove multiple of 2
for i in range( 4, N, 2 ) :
t[ i ] = False
# treat the odd numbers
for i in range( 3, N, 2 ) :
if t[ i ] :
# ‘i’ is a prime number
for j in range( i+i, N, i ) : # now we remove all ‘i’ multiples
t[ j ] = False
# extract the list of prime numbers
return [ i for i in range( 1, N ) if t[ i ] ]
Now, we’ll try to improve the internal loop. In trying 5, which is a prime number, the internal loop starts from 10 to N with a step of 5. First values to set to False are 10 (5×2), 15 (5×3) and 20 (5×4) which were already removed when we selected 2 and 3 as prime Numbers. So we can start from 5×5. And in a general case, we can start at ‘i*i’ wich is an odd number.
def primes_naive_3( n ) :
N = n + 1
t = [ True ] * N
# remove multiple of 2
for i in range( 4, N, 2 ) :
t[ i ] = False
# treat the odd numbers
for i in range( 3, N, 2 ) :
if t[ i ] :
# ‘i’ is a prime number
for j in range( i * i, N, i ) : # now we remove all ‘i’ multiples
t[ j ] = False
# extract the list of prime numbers
return [ i for i in range( 1, N ) if t[ i ] ]
‘ i * i ‘ is an odd number but ‘ i * i + i ‘ is an even number. So we can update the algorithm to avoid the even Numbers :
def primes_naive_4( n ) :
N = n + 1
t = [ True ] * N
# remove multiple of 2
for i in range( 4, N, 2 ) :
t[ i ] = False
# treat the odd numbers
for i in range( 3, N, 2 ) :
if t[ i ] :
# ‘i’ is a prime number
for j in range( i * i, N, i+i ) :
t[ j ] = False
# extract the list of prime numbers
return [ i for i in range( 1, N ) if t[ i ] ]
As we removed ‘not prime number’ from ‘i * i’ to ‘N’, if ‘i’ is greater than square root of ‘N’ it’s not necessary to continue because there is no values which can be removed.
def primes_naive_5( n ) :
from math import ceil, sqrt
N = n + 1
L = int( ceil( sqrt( N ) ) )
t = [ True ] * N
# remove multiple of 2
for i in range( 4, N, 2 ) :
t[ i ] = False
# treat the odd numbers
for i in range( 3, L, 2 ) :
if t[ i ] :
# ‘i’ is a prime number
for j in range( i * i, N, i+i ) :
t[ j ] = False
# extract the list of prime numbers
return [ i for i in range( 1, N ) if t[ i ] ]
One set else nothing
At this step, the developer will manipulate sets and difference operator. Often, sets are unused in algorithms where sats could be useful. We’ll try to convert the primes_naives_5.
To replace the concept of array of booleans, we will use a set which contains the numbers. And to replace the updates of values to False, we will use the difference operator. And to fill the sets, we’ll use generators and it’ll simplify some loops.
def primes_set_1( n ) :
from math import ceil, sqrt
N = n + 1
L = int( ceil( sqrt( N ) ) )
t = set( i for i in range( 1, N ) )
# remove multiple of 2
t -= set( i for i in range( 4, N, 2 ) )
# treat the odd numbers
for i in range( 3, L, 2 ) :
if i in t:
# ‘i’ is a prime number
t -= set( j for j in range( i * i, N, i+i ) )
# extract the list of prime numbers
return [ i for i in range( 1, N ) if i in t ]
Only integers
Through binary representation, an integer is an array of bits with each bit which is 0 or 1 (False or True). So we can replace an array of booleans by an array of bits. This exercise will allow the student to work in integer operations (shifting, bit and bit operators).
Create an array with n+1 True values, we will call « 2^n+1-1 ». To remove a value from the integer, there are two ways to solve :
• The exclusive or operator
• And operator on inversed bits
But be careful the risk with « exclusive or operator » is that if we Apply it twice on same value ( we remove twice the same value), we will cancel the first removing in adding the value. So the only right way to remove the value i is to apply : t &= ~( 1 << i ).
def primes_integer( n ) :
from math import ceil, sqrt
N = n + 1
L = int( ceil( sqrt( N ) ) )
t = ( 1 << N ) – 1
# remove multiple of 2
for i in range( 4, N, 2 ) :
t &= ~( 1 << i )
# treat the odd numbers
for i in range( 3, L, 2 ) :
if t & ( 1 << i ) != 0:
# ‘i’ is a prime number
for j in range( i * i, N, i+i ) :
t &= ~( 1 << j )
# extract the list of prime numbers
return [ i for i in range( 1, N ) if t & ( 1 << i ) != 0 ]
Conclusion
Simple, smart and efficient to help student in Learning Python and algorithmic. We can continue in using bitarray.bitarray or numpy.array (bit field option or boolean).

The Oil Industry Is Changing, and Here's How Enterprise Products Partners' Management Plans to Respond
When Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) announced that it was changing its distribution plan for the upcoming years, and even hinted that it might look at share repurchases in the not-too-distant future, some investors might have thought that meant Enterprise's days of growth were behind it. Based on the things management has said recently, that isn't necessarily the case, it just means the company is adjusting to changing dynamics in the market.
On the company's most recentearnings conference call Enterprise's management discussed some of the major trends in both the oil and gas industry as well as some broader economic themes that are shaping some of management's actions. Here are several quotes from that conference call that will give investors an idea of how management views these new challenges and opportunities. (If you want to look at the whole conference call, check it out here .)
Pole position in Permian
Any talk about shale oil today is dominated by the Permian Basin. It has proved much more prolific than anyone anticipated , and producers have been able to reduce per-barrel costs to the point that it's rather lucrative to bring on new production even at today's lower prices. For the Permian to be the oil production powerhouse it is, it requires a massive amount of transportation, processing, and logistics infrastructure to deliver that product to end markets. Thankfully for Enterprise, its infrastructure footprint couldn't be better suited for the Permian Basin.
Here's CEO Jim Teague on the company's Permian footprint:
With some of the world's largest oil producersplacing big bets on the Permian Basin , it's likely that Enterprise and others will have lots of opportunities to leverage that Permian footprint into high-return projects for years to come.
Big bets on the forgotten parts of the oil and gas business
Oil and natural gas have been the talk of the town when it comes to America's shale revolution. What is talked about much less but could be just as important, though, is the production of oil and gas byproducts such as natural gas liquids. These products are lighter than crude oil but aren't in a gaseous state. Propane is a great example. These byproducts can serve many purposes, such as feedstock in petrochemical manufacturing because they are so cheap.
While Enterprise has always had a significant presence in these particular products, many of its investments recently have doubled down on this segment of the industry. Here's Teague highlighting one of its major projects and the potential out there for this project in the years to come:
Here's what makes these investments even more lucrative. Outside the U.S., most petrochemical manufacturing uses a crude oil byproduct known as naphtha. The price of naphtha moves in lockstep with crude oil. Natural gas and natural gas liquids in the U.S., on the other hand, are priced independently. As crude oil prices rise, it makes U.S.-based petrochemical manufacturing and processing that much more lucrative.
Rising interest rates an issue?
Pipeline & processing companies are a unique beast among publicly traded companies. It takes massive amounts of capital to build a new pipe or facility, but once that project is running, it can last for 20 to 30 years with minimal maintenance capital. As a result, these companies take on a lot of debt to start a project, because each one will throw off cash for decades.
The downside to this, of course, is that Enterprise and others are extremely sensitive to interest rates and their ability to secure debt at attractive rates. With interest rates on the rise, there is of course fear that it will eat into Enterprise's bottom line. According to CFO Bryan Bulawa, though, the maturity dates for its existing debt and interest rates are not a concern at this point:
As for now, the only thing that will change at Enterprise is how the company funds future projects. Higher interest rates mean the rate of return on projects needs to be higher.
Trimming down
Enterprise has a reputation for maintaining a much more conservative balance sheet than most of its peers. Electing to use some funds from operations to cover capital spending rather than others that have relied on debt and equity to fund growth over the years. Recently, though, management took an even more conservative approach when it announced last year it was cutting its distribution growth rate in half to focus on funding projects. Bulawa highlighted what this will mean for the company's budget in the coming years:
The idea of self-funding the equity portion of its budget was known, but what is surprising is the company's target leverage number. Over the past few years, management has increased its target leverage -- measured as total debt to EBITDA -- to 4.0 to 4.5 times because of the immense amount of opportunities to invest in the business. Getting down to that 3.75 to 4.0 times range will put it back toward its historical levels and may also be a sign of management acknowledging the challenges of funding the business in a rising interest rate environment.

Changing its stripes
Over the past few years, we have seen a lot of companies in this industry change their corporate structure. Whether it's buying out a general partner stake in a subsidiary to eliminate incentive distribution rights or folding the entire business up into a C Corp , there is a clear trend away from the traditional master limited partnership model. When a trend starts, analysts start asking other companies if they are considering the same thing. So, of course, someone asked whether Enterprise was considering changing its corporate structure from a master limited partnership to a traditional C-Corp. Here's Vice President of Investor Relations Randy Burkhalter's response:
It's possible that the companies that have changed from MLPs to C-Corps will see better access to capital -- ratings agencies tend to view C Corps more favorably when giving credit ratings. Maybe, just maybe, the reason those companies were struggling with access to capital is that they were carrying higher debt loads than Enterprise in the first place. As long as Enterprise's management maintains a conservative approach to funding projects and raising capital, it shouldn't matter that much whether the company is an MLP or a C-Corp. A great management team is what makes or breaks a company in this business, and Enterprise's management has proven to be excellent stewards of shareholder capital.

Opinion | The Party Surrenders
Ross Douthat With Marco Rubio’s grudging, painful statement this week that he intends to support “the nominee” (for many Republicans, He Who Must Not Be Named), and with Paul Ryan possibly contemplating assimilation, it’s a good time to take one last look back at what I got wrong — oh, so very wrong — about the Republican Party’s leadership in the age of Donald Trump. Before Trump’s emergence, the Republican elite was in the midst of a long-running civil war, pitting the much-hated “establishment” against the much-feared “base,” the center-right against the Tea Party, the official party leadership against a congeries of activists, media personalities and up-and-coming right-wing politicians. This civil war was real enough, with competing leaders, clear battle lines, tough infighting and insulting rhetoric. But beneath the noise of battle, the establishment’s leaders and the base’s tribunes were often in near-agreement on policy (or, in some cases, on the absence thereof). The establishment wanted a more cosmopolitan and compromise-oriented party and the base a more socially conservative and combative one. But on many issues they were fighting about how to fight, as much as about what specifically to do. Because of this underlying agreement, the G.O.P. elite’s civil war actually covered over many of the deeper ideological divisions within the party’s rank and file. Then came Trump, the great exposer, bringing those deeper divisions into the light. As soon as the nature of his candidacy became clear — his populism and nationalism, his indifference to many doctrines and policy preferences shared across the Tea Party-establishment divide — so did his disruptive potential. But precisely because he challenged both factions, both sides of the civil war, on issues crucial to their respective identities, I assumed that both would eventually resist him fiercely (especially given that his ideological challenge came wrapped in a personal package that promised to be less electable than the G.O.P. norm). If he came close enough to the nomination, I assumed that both would have no choice but to reluctantly unite against him. This hypothesis would have been correct, if the entire Republican primary campaign had taken place in the state of Wisconsin. There, a version of what I confidently expected to happen actually transpired: The state party apparatus and its grass-roots activists and media personalities formed a mostly united front against Trump, supporting Ted Cruz either out of genuine affection or because he was the last plausible not-Trump; Cruz took one of his few easy victories and briefly seemed as if he could take the nomination as well. But on the national level, nothing remotely like this happened. Instead, confusion reigned, groups and individuals worked at cross-purposes, donors sat on the sidelines and politicians hedged their bets. Beyond confusion and incompetence, though, there was also flirtation, normalization and finally acceptance, as a wide array of figures whose own commitments seemed incompatible with Trumpism decided that he was worth defending and eventually supporting. These figures, strikingly, came from both sides of the pre-existing civil war. Early in the campaign, when it seemed as if Jeb Bush had a chance to coast to the nomination as the standard-bearer of the establishment, it was mostly voices from the professional base — talk-radio voices, Fox News voices and for a time Cruz himself — who worked to build up Trump as a populist alternative, to vouch for him and bring him within their faction’s tent. Then as it became clear that the most establishment-friendly candidates (Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich, even the more right-wing Rubio) weren’t going to hack it, it was the establishmentarians and self-conscious moderates who decided that Trump was a man they could do business with, not like that crazy Tea Partier Senator Cruz. Which is how Trump ended up as the candidate of Sean Hannity and John Boehner, Ann Coulter and Jon Huntsman, with Rush Limbaugh running interference for him with the grass roots, and various lobbyists doing the same on Capitol Hill. Of course many converts to Trumpism were motivated simply by expediency, ambition, power worship. But many were clearly motivated by grudges and fears instilled by the party’s civil war, and by a sense that even though Trump might represent a grave threat to their vision of Republicanism, it would still be better to serve under his rule for a season than to risk putting their hated intraparty rivals in the catbird seat. The narcissism of small differences, in other words, led both the professional establishment and the professional base to surrender to a force that they had countless ideological and pragmatic reasons to oppose. For those of us who have long been frustrated precisely by the smallness of those differences, the narrowness of the G.O.P. policy debate, it’s a particularly staggering result: A party whose leading factions often seemed incapable of budging from 1980s-era dogma suddenly caved completely to a candidate who regards much of the conservative vision with indifference bordering on contempt. So to catalog my wrongness: I overestimated the real commitment of both factions’ leaders to their stated principles and favored policies. (Even though I didn’t agree with many of those policies myself, I assumed from the party’s longstanding resistance to change that someone did!) I overestimated their ability to put those principles ahead of personal resentments. And yes, since to acquiesce to Donald Trump as the Republican nominee is to gamble recklessly with the party’s responsibilities to the republic, I overestimated their basic sense of honor. Of course none of this means that the surrendering Republicans’ calculations are all wrong. It is possible that a dishonorable, cowardly, unprincipled course will yield the result that many in both G.O.P. factions clearly crave: Trump defeated in the general election, his ideas left without a champion, and then a reversion to the party’s status quo ante, to the comforts of a tactically narrow “wacko birds versus RINOs” family feud. But then again it’s possible that the establishment and the Tea Party are more like Byzantium and Sassanid Persia in the seventh century A.D., and Trumpism is the Arab-Muslim invasion that put an end to their long-running rivalry, destroyed the Sassanid Dynasty outright, and ushered in a very different age. No doubt many thought at first that those invaders were a temporary problem, an alien force that would wreak havoc and then withdraw, dissolve, retreat. But a new religion had arrived to stay.

What is the Importance of Fossils?
What is the Importance of Fossils?
Fossils are traces of ancient life, and it is the preserved remains of plants and animals that once existed. When talking about fossils, people make an image of a hardened bone or shell, but fossils are not only in bone form but can take many forms.
An imprint of a leaf, an insect, preserved in amber, and a footprint all are examples of different types of fossils. Scientists use fossils to gain knowledge and information about the lives and evolutionary relationships of organisms.
There are different kinds of fossils available such as dinosaur fossils, fossilized mammoth bone, molecular fossils, etc. Plants, insects and animals, all can leave fossilized remains, but organisms that are completely soft-bodied are less likely to leave fossils when they are dead. Hard body parts such as bone, teeth, and shells are most likely to be preserved and become fossils.
Fossil remains are the best to give us information and evidence on how and why fossil organisms died. It also gives us insight into how those plants and animals obtain food and reproduce.
Fossils are used by researchers to match layers of rock in different locations by age. This information is beneficial to understand when different layers of rocks were formed. These fossils are also used to understand the age of different rock layers.
Different types of fossils are found in various areas, which helps to understand what kind of environment existed when fossils were formed. The most important function of fossils is they constitute one line of evidence for understanding the role of evolution.
With the help of information gathered by fossil evidence, scientists can reconstruct the body type of animals that no longer exist presently and can make a tree of life to describe the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Nowadays, different types of fossils are available in fossil stores for sale. One of the most common is mammoth fossil for sale.
If you love to collect different kinds of fossils, then there are various stores and dealers that sell authentic and genuine fossils.
Wrap Up
Fossil Age Minerals is one of the best online platforms to buy mammoth tooth fossils for sale. They have a large variety of fossils at an affordable price. You can order fossils from the comfort zone of your home, and their delivery agent will deliver them right to your doorstep. Now, buying fossils has become easy and quick.

Alpine skiing at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Men's downhill
The men's downhill competition of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics was held on Thursday, 15 February, at the Jeongseon Alpine Centre in PyeongChang. Scheduled for Sunday, 11 February, winds in excess of 50 km/h forced officials to postpone the race four days.
Summary
The defending champion was Matthias Mayer. Other competitors included the 2014 silver medalist Christof Innerhofer, the bronze medalist Kjetil Jansrud, as well as the 2010 silver medalist Aksel Lund Svindal. Through 2018, the Olympic men's downhill has yet to have a repeat champion.
Aksel Lund Svindal won the gold medal, with a slight advantage over Kjetil Jansrud (silver) and Beat Feuz (bronze), who gained his first Olympic medal.
The race course was 2.965 km in length, with a vertical drop of 825 m from a starting elevation of 1370 m above sea level. Svindal had an average speed of 106.474 km/h and an average vertical descent rate of 8.229 m/s.
Qualification
A total of up to 320 alpine skiers qualified across all eleven events. Athletes qualified for this event by having met the A qualification standard only, which meant having 80 or less FIS Points and being ranked in the top 500 in the Olympic FIS points list. The Points list takes into average the best results of athletes per discipline during the qualification period (July 1, 2016 to January 21, 2018). Countries received additional quotas by having athletes ranked in the top 30 of the current World Cup season (two per gender maximum, overall across all events). After the distribution of B standard quotas (to nations competing only in the slalom and giant slalom events), the remaining quotas were distributed using the Olympic FIS Points list, with each athlete only counting once for qualification purposes. A country could only enter a maximum of four athletes for the event.
Results
The race was started at 11:30 local time, (UTC+9). At the starting gate, the skies were clear, the temperature was -3.8 C, and the snow condition was hard.

The scene at her father's rooms had extinguished all offices, and the scene at her father's rooms was of Mrs. Gereth's producing. Owen, at all events, must now act for himself: he had obligations to meet, he had satisfactions to give, and Fleda fairly ached with the wish that he might be equal to them. She never knew the extent of her tenderness for him till she became conscious of the present force of her desire that he should be superior, be perhaps even sublime. She obscurely made out that superiority, that sublimity mightn't after all be fatal. She closed her eyes and lived for a day or two in the mere beauty of confidence. It was with her on the short journey; it was with her at Maggie's; it glorified the mean little house in the stupid little town. Owen had grown larger to her: he would do, like a man, whatever he should have to do. He wouldn't be weak—not as she was: she herself was weak exceedingly.
Arranging her few possessions in Maggie's fewer receptacles, she caught a glimpse of the bright side of the fact that her old things were not such a problem as Mrs. Gereth's.

The Virtual DOM is slow. Meet the Memoized DOM.
By Sindre Osen Aarsaether
The virtual DOM was a fantastic innovation. It brought about a much more productive way of writing web applications by allowing us to write our views in a declarative manner.
This big benefit has little to do with performance of the initial render. Instead, it is the process of updating the DOM to reflect changes in your state has become much faster.
This process of bringing the DOM in sync with the state is often referred to as DOM reconciliation.
If we had an infinitely fast reconciler, we could vastly simplify our applications by rendering everything on every single frame. The state layer would never need to know about views at all — much less send out events and track which views need to react when certain parts of the state change. The view would always be in sync with the data, no matter what you threw at it.
Sadly, virtual DOM implementations are not infinitely fast. They are, in fact, surprisingly slow. Thankfully, many have jumped on the Immutability™ bandwagon, in which case the virtual DOM thanks you! Others wrap all state in observables (e.g. mobx), and keep track of which view depends on what state. This allows you to reconcile only parts of your view, but comes with its own set of drawbacks.
The biggest issue is that we tend to decide how to manage our application state based on our view layer. What if we could get better performance in a world where the data layer and view layer don’t really know or care about each other?
Imba is a programming language for the web. It powers the interactive screencasting platform scrimba.com, of which I am the lead developer. Imba was born to make developing web applications fun again. It features a clean and readable syntax inspired by Ruby. It compiles to readable and performant JavaScript, and works inside the existing ecosystem.
The whole stack of scrimba.com is written in Imba, but the language can easily be used just for the view layer.
Besides a clean and readable syntax, the biggest benefit of Imba is that it truly treats DOM elements as first-class citizens, on a much deeper level than JSX. It allows you to write views declaratively, yet it does not use a virtual DOM. Instead, Imba compiles views to a memoized DOM, which turns out to be an order of magnitude faster.
The general idea is that we create lightweight wrappers around DOM elements, and compile declarative views to chains of setters, each modifying the underlying DOM directly.
tag AppView
def render
<self>
<h1.title> "Welcome"
<p.desc .red=(Math.random > 0.5)> "Roulette"
The Imba view above will roughly compile into the following javascript:
class AppView extends Imba.Tag {
render() {
var $ = this.$; // inline cache for tag
return this.setChildren($.$ = $.$ || [
Imba.tag('h1',$).flag('title').setText("Welcome"),
Imba.tag('p',$).flag('desc').setText("Roulette")
]).synced(
$[1].flagIf('red',Math.random() > 0.5)
);
}
}
This is a very simple example to illustrate the basic concept. During compilation we split creation and updates into separate branches. The first time render is called for an <AppView> the children will be created and static attributes will be set. On all subsequent calls the only real work we do is flip the className of our <p>. Albeit much more complex, the same concept is used for conditionals, loops, and everything else inside tag trees.
If you’re interested in how it really works I recommend reading this intro.
React is fast, they said. React is fast enough, they said. React Fiber will be fast enough, they said.
Most benchmarks test things like “insert/shuffle/remove 1000 rows”. This gives little indication about real-world performance. When there are hundres of changes, most of the difference is eaten up by actual DOM mutations, repainting, etc. It fails to measure the most important metric.
If you truly want to test the performance of DOM reconciliation, you need to look at how quickly the implementation brings the DOM in sync with the state, especially when there are few/no changes.
So, to capture a realistic view of the reconciler performance, we could change a small part of the application state in each iteration, and then measure the time it takes to forcefully bring the view in sync with this changed state. The view should not be listening to any part of the state, and the state should not need to notify anyone whether it has changed.
Screenshot from dom-reconciler-bench
This benchmark steps through a deterministic sequence of state alterations, doing at most one change per iteration. We are measuring the time it takes to reconcile the whole application view after:
1. Toggling the completion of a task
2. Removing a task
3. Inserting a task
4. Renaming a task
5. Doing nothing
Running the benchmark on an iMac (4GHz i7) yields the following results:
• Imba 1.3: 360458 ops / sec
• React 16.2: 9752 ops / sec — 36.96x slower
• Vue 2.5: 8719 ops / sec — 41.34x slower
• Imba 1.3: 282484 ops / sec
• React 16.2: 8882 ops / sec — 31.81x slower
• Vue 2.5: 8103 ops / sec — 34.86x slower
• Imba 1.3: 234334 ops / sec
• React 16.2: 5075 ops / sec — 46.17x slower
• Vue 2.5: 3119 ops / sec — 75.13x slower
This seems outrageous right? Surely, it cannot be right.
• All implementations are really reconciling on every step.
• All implementations are blocking, synchronous, and deterministic.
• All implementations are performing the same amount of DOM mutations.
• Yes, we are using the minified production build of React. The development version is 200x slower than Imba on the same test.
• The memoized DOM creates practically no garbage during an iteration, uses less memory overall, and is conceptually very simple.
All the implementations can probably be optimized more. I’m very happy to accept pull-requests at GitHub. To be clear, I have tremendous respect for what React has achieved, and I truly love Vue. Imba has taken a lot of inspiration from it. I suspect it should be possible to compile Vue templates using a similar approach, and would love for someone to give it a go!
Let’s test the raw reconciler performance when there aren’t even any changes. This removes the time spent doing actual DOM mutations from the equation, and gives us a good picture about how much work is going on during reconciliation. The charted CPU profile from Chrome gives a visual indication of how much less work is done with the memoized DOM technique.
Imba completes 100000 iterations in 99.7ms — 5.1ms spent in GC
React completes 100000 iterations in 8312.7ms (83.4x slower) — 100.4ms spent in GC
Vue completes 100000 iterations in 8514.7ms (85.4x slower) — 308.4ms spent in GC
“There are A LOT, and I mean, A LOT of small little projects that claim more speed, easier development, but on closer inspection usually lack very important features (such as module life cycle hooks) and, of course without them the performance is higher, but the flexibility to use those libraries beyond a todo list application is limited.”
This is a quote from someone who read through an early draft of this article, and I would like to tackle it head on. The performance difference is not limited to a simple test, quite the contrary. Imba has been used in production for several years at scrimba.com, but it is still not for the faint of heart. For most developers the massive ecosystems for Vue and React will be hard (and probably unwise) to leave behind. The Imba documentation still leaves a lot to be desired, but we are improving it every day.
I’m sure you’ve heard that React is fast enough. But fast enough for what? It doesn’t really matter if React was 15% faster, but with an order of magnitude improvement we can start to explore simpler ways to build applications.
It’s not about the perceived speed, but about what it lets you do. At scrimba.com we don’t worry about keeping the view in sync with the state. We don’t worry about tracking when state has changed. Our data models are not observable. We just render. Whenever. And it’s liberating.

-- Insurance Broker Gets 15 Years in New Jersey Schools Theft
A Maryland insurance broker was
sentenced to 15 years in prison for stealing almost $2.6 million
by submitting fraudulent bills to the Perth Amboy, New Jersey ,
board of education. Francis Gartland, 71, of Baltimore, also stole $216,495
from the city of Perth Amboy in payments for a nonexistent
wellness program, according to a release from the office of New
Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa. “This crooked broker stole millions of dollars from the
Perth Amboy School District, which needed the money to educate
its children,” Chiesa said in the release. “This is the worst
type of corruption.” Gartland pleaded guilty in April to first-degree money
laundering and second-degree theft by deception. He and his
companies, including Gartland and Co. Inc. and Federal Hill Risk
Management LLC, were ordered to pay restitution in the amounts
stolen. He was sentenced to state prison in New Jersey by
Superior Court Judge Bradley Ferencz in Middlesex County . Gartland was the broker for health-benefits insurance for
the board of education and acted on the board’s behalf with
insurance carriers, according to the release. To contact the reporter on this story:

TikTok parent company ByteDance spreads Chinese propaganda: report
ByteDance, the company that owns the viral video app TikTok, is working closely with China&aposs government to facilitate human rights abuses in China&aposs western autonomous region of Xinjiang, according to to a new report by The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). The report, titled "Mapping China&aposs Tech Giants," looked at the way major Chinese tech companies were involved in state-sanctioned surveillance and censorship using artificial intelligence packaged as popular apps and websites. ByteDance was accused by ASPI of collaborating "with public security bureaus across China, including in Xinjiang where it plays an active role in disseminating the party-state&aposs propaganda on Xinjiang." The company has been placed in the spotlight after it suspended the TikTok account of US teenager Feroza Aziz after she posted a viral video on the app criticizing the Chinese government&aposs treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang disguised as a makeup tutorial. China has been accused of committing human rights abuses at detention centers in the autonomous western region of Xinjiang.Visit Business Insider&aposs homepage for more stories.The company that owns the viral video app TikTok is working closely with China&aposs government to facilitate human rights abuses against Uighur Muslims in the western autonomous region of Xinjiang, according to a new report by The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). The report, titled "Mapping China&aposs Tech Giants," looked at the way major Chinese tech companies were involved in state-sanctioned surveillance and censorship using artificial intelligence packaged as popular apps and websites. ByteDance, the parent company of viral video sensation TikTok, was mentioned in the report alongside other major Chinese tech companies including Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba and others, which ASPI claims "are engaged in deeply unethical behaviour in Xinjiang, where their work directly supports and enables mass human rights abuses."China has been accused of running detention centers and forced labor camps in Xinjiang. Interviews with people who were held in the facilities reveal allegations of beatings and food deprivation, as well as medical experimentation on prisoners.China has acknowledged the existence of some "reeducation camps" but repeatedly denied any reports of abuse at its facilities.In its research, ASPI singled out ByteDance and alleged it is acting alongside the Communist Party in order to enforce the country&aposs strict censorship laws. "ByteDance collaborates with public security bureaus across China, including in Xinjiang where it plays an active role in disseminating the party-state&aposs propaganda on Xinjiang," the report said. ByteDance operates two versions of its viral video app — a China-based app called Douyin, and the global app TikTok.TikTok is one of the most downloaded phone apps in the world and has already entered over 150 global markets.Previous reports cited by ASPI indicated that "Xinjiang Internet Police" had a presence on Douyin in 2018 and created a "new public security and internet social governance model." ASPI also cited recent reporting which said that China&aposs Ministry of Public Security&aposs Press and Publicity Bureau signed an agreement with ByteDance, which allowed ministry and police officials to have their own Douyin accounts in order to push ministry propaganda. The report also said ByteDance would "increase its offline cooperation with the police department," though it was unclear what that partnership would entail. Representatives for ByteDance and TikTok did not immediately respond to Business Insider&aposs request for comment.ASPI added that other tech giants, including Alibaba and Huawei, contributed cloud computing and surveillance technologies in Xijiang.In October, the US blacklisted 28 Chinese organizations and companies for their role in facilitating human rights abuses in Xinjiang. And earlier this month, sources told Reuters that the US opened a national security investigation into ByteDance after its $1 billion acquisition of US social media app Musical.ly in 2017.The company has been placed in the spotlight after it suspended the TikTok account of US teenager Feroza Aziz after she posted a viral video on the app criticizing the Chinese government&aposs treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang disguised as a makeup tutorial. The company apologized in a statement published to TikTok&aposs website on Wednesday, saying that company stood behind its initial decision to suspend Aziz&aposs account but also added that its moderation process "will not be perfect."Xinjiang has a population of about 10 million citizens, many of whom are Uighur or other ethnic minorities, and in May, Assistant Secretary of US Defense Randall Schriver said "at least a million but likely closer to 3 million citizens" were detained detention camps.Satellite images reviewed by the Washington-based East Turkistan National Awakening Movement earlier this month identified at least 465 detention centers, labor camps, and suspected prisons in Xinjiang.And a recent leak of classified Chinese government documents known as the "China Cables" laid out a manual for exactly how the detention centers were to operate, from preventing escape by double locking all the doors to using a "points system" based on behavior that is linked "directly to rewards, punishments, and family visits."

Until now just one level, but I have to experiment with multiple levels and multiple nav graphs
Maybe I have to move from

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] did you have modeled something like this when you developed your own navigation library?
The easiest thing of the enum is I can use its name as string, and it is unique, if I move to a
sealed class
maybe I had to add a required

and I have to set manually which add more boilerplate

Don't want to detail the thread, but I'm curious what value you're getting out of the jetpack navigation library if you're not using it for backstack management and just have a simple enum/sealed class defining your screens. Is it just transitions? It seems to me like backstack management and transitions are the two main value props of using the navigation library with compose.
did you have modeled something like this when you developed your own navigation library?
Not sure exactly what you’re referring to.
compose-backstack
tries to do as little as possible, the only reason it even has a backstack at all (in contrast to something like
Crossfade
, which only takes the “current” screen key) is to figure out whether a forward or backward transition animation should be shown.

i’m not convinced you need a whole library to write
myBackstack += newScreen
,
myBackstack.dropLast()
especially because it forces you to manipulate your backstack as a list, and maybe your navigation itself is declarative and not a series of push/pop calls

I don't think we have an example of nested graphs, but the DSL already supports the

@Kshitij Patil If this library is a good fit for you, then don’t mind me 😅 All i was trying to say is that Compose allows for navigation idioms which wouldn’t be possible, or at least easy, in classic Android, and you might not need the full power of this library, and all the “magic” it brings along. E.g. a backstack is just a stack, and can be implemented with a basic kotlin List. Safeargs is solving a problem that is specific to this library in the first place – e.g. if you use a sealed class for your routes + args, they’re already strongly typed. Deep linking depends on your use case.

==The First Humanist==
Humanism was a cultural movement that valued human qualities, such as reason and argued that this world had worth and
value, which was contrary to Christian teachings and taught that human agency could improve society and give dignity and meaning to the individual life<ref> Nauert, Charles G. Humanism and the Culture of Renaissance Europe: Second Edition. (Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2006), p 115</ref>. Petrarch is often regarded as the Father of Humanism. This is because he helped to popularize the study of the classical world and literature. He personally rediscovered many manuscripts in monasteries and had Greek works translated to Latin, so that they could be more readily read and studied. Petrarch believed that the study of the classics could enhance a person, intellectually and morally and this became axiomatic among humanists. The Italian in his works encouraged his readers to take an interest in nature and helped to formulate a new aesthetic, which did not regard the world as a ‘vale of tears’ but as something that was beautiful and could help a person to develop spiritually <ref>Naubert, p. 18</ref>. His famous ‘Letter on the ‘Ascent of Mont Ventoux’ is regarded as a landmark, which argued that a delight in nature could be morally and spiritually uplifting<ref> Petrarch Epistolae familiares (IV, 1) </ref>. This is held by many to have initiated a move to the re-discovery of the world after the Middle Ages and its focus on the life to come, which was a characteristic of the humanists. This ultimately led to the rational examination of the world and this had dramatic consequences in the fields as diverse as science, politics and philosophy. Moreover, the poet in his writings was very much interested in the interior life of a person and suggested that everyone had a rich inner life, a key tenet of humanism. He held that the individual was important, and this was radical for the time <ref>. Bishop, Morris Petrarch and His World. (Bloomington, Indiana. Indiana University Press 1963), p 118</ref> However, Petrarch was conflicted, he was a very religious man and yet he admired the pagan classical world. He was ultimately able to resolve this by arguing that the classical and pagan world could help a person to become more moral and to achieve salvation. This did much to ensure that humanism and its love of the classical past was acceptable in an Italy and Europe that was still staunchly Christian <ref>Bishop. p. 201</ref>.
[[File: Petrarch Two.jpg|200px|thumb|left| Mont Ventoux’ which inspired Petrarch to write one of the most important documents of the Renaissance]]
==Inventing the Renaissance==
In some ways, the poet was not only one of the most important figures in the Renaissance, in a sense he invented it. The Renaissance is widely seen as a period of ‘re-birth’ when Europe rediscovered classical values and in the process used the ancient past, for models which ultimately led to the development of more modern ways of thought <ref>Bishop, p. 213</ref>. Petrarch was the first to recognize that the study of the past by the humanists was a new period in history and one that would revive the glory of Rome and Greece. He portrayed it as distinct from previous centuries which he described as ignorant and a ‘Dark Age’ . This was not strictly true because learning in Europe had been growing since the 12th century. Indeed, many have argued that the Renaissance in Italy and elsewhere were a direct result of trends in the Middle Ages. Petrarch’s conception of the Renaissance as something distinct from the Medieval world has been profoundly influential and it remains so to this day<ref> Burckhardt, Jacob. The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy.

Electrical Wiring
Battery Monitor
The monitor will be located on the wall next to the side doors and connected to the batteries with 4 small wires. A short piece of Cat5 cable will do the job, because the battery compartment is only a few feet away.
monitor and battery compartment
1211The cable is guided through the door channel to the floor, where it will be connected to the battery bank at a later time.
13
The cabling is left as is, until the hardware is installed.
Battery Charger
Under the bed are two shallow window compartments, which are above the wheel housing. Adjoining is a regular compartment that will contain most electrical devices, such as charger, inverter and controller. It has a removable side-wall for easy access.
Because the wheel housing is in the way, any cabling will have to go through the shallow compartments. A hollow core separation will serve as a divider between the two spaces, while at the same time hiding the wires.
14The divider consists of two 1/8” plywood sides, one solid base and a top divided in three, for later access to any cables.
15The parts are glued together in several steps and sanded to final dimensions.
The divider easily slides in at one side of the compartment.
1718
After fitting, a few holes are drilled on both sides of the compartment, that will accommodate the wiring.
2019
After a final check, the divider is glued-in and reinforced with two nails.
2122The actual wiring is just a matter of pulling the Romex wire through the divider and along the wall towards the right rear brake light.
2526The wire is then connected to a 110V power inlet, that will be installed below the brake light.
An extension cord plugged into the power inlet at the outside rear of the van, will power the battery charger.

How do I handle a nil value for `Plug.Upload` in params? [arc_ecto GitHub issue repost]
• Elixir 1.2
• Phoenix 1.2.1
• arc: 0.6.0
• arc_ecto 0.5.0
According to the Phoenix documentation, if no file is selected, Plug.Upload will not be present in the params map.
Finally, notice that when there is no data from the file input, we get neither the “photo” key nor a Plug.Upload struct. Here are the user_params from the log.
So if you submit a blank form, params[:user] will be nil. For example:
<%= form_for @changeset, @action, [multipart: true], fn f -> %>
<%= file_input f, :avatar %>
<%= submit "Submit" %>
<% end %>
Notice the absence of the “user” key.
%{"_csrf_token" => "...", "_method" => "put", "_utf8" => "✓"}
Which raises an error in the controller.
bad request to App.Account.AvatarController.update, no matching action clause to process request
def update(conn, %{"user" => user_params}, current_user) do
changeset = User.avatar_changeset(current_user, user_params)
case Repo.update(changeset) do
{:ok, _} ->
redirect(conn, to: current_user_avatar_path(conn, :edit))
{:error, changeset} ->
render(conn, :edit, changeset: changeset, user: current_user)
end
We can hack around the error by including a hidden field in the form, forcing params[:user] to exist.
<%= hidden_input f, :id %>
But Plug.Upload will still be missing from the params. Which means the changeset will be valid. Notice changes being an empty map.
#Ecto.Changeset<action: nil, changes: %{}, errors: [], data: #App.User<>, valid?: true>
So, my questions are:
1. What’s the point of |> validate_required([:avatar]) given that Plug.Upload is only present with file data? To reach this point in the changeset, a field must be present. It seems redundant then to validate for presence.
2. How do we validate the presence of avatar?
Here’s my user schema:
defmodule App.User do
use App.Web, :model
use Arc.Ecto.Schema
schema "users" do
# ...
field :avatar, App.AvatarUploader.Type
end
def avatar_changeset(struct, params \\ %{}) do
struct
|> cast(params, [:avatar])
|> cast_attachments(params, [:avatar])
|> validate_required([:avatar])
end
Am I missing something?

Well, you hit the thing I hate about validations in ORMs. You really do want to validate submitted form, and not validate the model, because of the reasons above. In my opinion, this really is the major design flaw, in Rails and by shared genes in Phoenix.
I tend to work around the issue by creating “Form objects” or “Form modules/structs” and handling validations outside of the “model” layer altogether. Which is more work, but has it’s rewards. Combination of https://github.com/CargoSense/vex and https://github.com/appcues/exconstructor does the job for me at the moment. But this is radical approach, you may not want to take.
In your case, you can define 2nd function head in your controller, that will catch the nil. And it would call the current function you have, explicitly passing a nil to the avatar field, so the validations kick in properly.

You can use ecto to do pure form validations without database tables. You event don’t need to define schema modules - you only need the changeset function. I use ecto frequently to cover that use case - what you’d usually call “form objects” in Rails. José talks about how to do this in the free Ecto 2.0 ebook, I’m not sure about examples in the wild.
As to files uploads in general, I succumbed a long time ago - there are always issues and it never works correctly. I decided to do direct uploads from the browser to some storage service like s3 or cloudinary, only sending the upload url back to backend. I never looked back. It removes a whole bunch of issues.

@michalmuskala thanks. Cloudinary looks great. Can you think of other options (libs or services) for doing direct uploads from the browser to S3 or similar? In Rails, I use Refile, which allows multiple direct uploads to S3. Arc doesn’t seem to have matured yet. There is another lib that’s inspired by Refile, but it doesn’t pack as much functionality.

Beyond Native Block Copolymer Morphologies
Citation
Doerk, G.S.; Yager, K.G. "Beyond Native Block Copolymer Morphologies" Molecular Systems Design & Engineering 2017, 2 518–538 .
doi: 10.1039/c7me00069c
Summary
We review the methods available for using block copolymers to form 'non-native' morphologies; that is, structures beyond those in the bulk equilibrium phase diagram.
Abstract
Block copolymers are a well-studied and canonical self-assembling paradigm. Despite active research, new methods are continually emerging that allow the formation of yet more diverse and complex morphologies. In this review, we analyze and comment on the state-of-the-art with respect to exploiting block copolymers in order to form ‘non-native’ morphologies; that is, structures that deviate from the bulk equilibrium morphologies observed in the simplest block copolymer systems. The range of reviewed strategies can be organized with respect to where the final structural information is encoded. Self-assembly involves intrinsic encoding within the molecules themselves, while external fields or templates can be used to externally encode a desired structure. Hybrid strategies, which exploit the responsiveness of self-assembly but control it through external forces or process history, are particularly promising.

Tooth Extraction Washington, DC
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure and general dental care service Dr. Slate performs in Washington, DC. Understanding the reasons, types, and recovery process can help you feel more at ease. Tooth extraction is a routine procedure that can greatly benefit your oral health. Dr. Slate, a dentist in Washington, DC, is here to guide you through each step, from consultation to recovery. If you have any concerns or questions, do not hesitate to reach out for professional advice.
Tooth Extraction in Washington, DC
Reasons for Tooth Extraction
Several conditions may necessitate a tooth extraction. Severe tooth decay is a common reason, as it can damage the tooth beyond repair. Gum disease, which affects the tissues and bone supporting the teeth, may also require extraction. Overcrowding in the mouth can be another cause, as in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth that do not emerge properly, often need removal as well.
Types of Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions fall into two main categories: simple and surgical. Simple extractions involve the removal of visible teeth and are typically performed under local anesthesia. The recovery period for a simple extraction is usually short and uneventful. Surgical extractions are more complex, often involving teeth that are broken or not fully erupted. This procedure includes the use of anesthesia, and careful post-operative care is necessary for a smooth recovery.
Preparation for a Tooth Extraction
Preparing for a tooth extraction begins with a thorough dental examination. Dr. Slate will assess your oral health and take X-rays to determine the best approach. With a treatment plan in place, pre-extraction instructions will be provided. Following these instructions will help ensure the procedure goes smoothly. While Dr. Slate does not usually extract teeth, he can recommend an appropriate oral surgeon to perform the procedure.
During the extraction, anesthesia is administered to numb the area. Your oral surgeon will then carefully remove the tooth. While most extractions are straightforward, some complications can occur. It is crucial to discuss potential risks with your dentist.
Post-Extraction Care and Recovery
After the extraction, proper care is essential for healing. Blood clot formation in the socket is a critical step in recovery. Pain management is important, and over-the-counter medications can help. Diet should consist of soft foods, and good oral hygiene is crucial. Dr. Slate may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
Though complications are rare, they can happen. Dry socket, where the blood clot fails to develop properly, can cause intense pain. Infection is another potential issue requiring prompt attention. In rare cases, nerve damage may occur, resulting in numbness or tingling. If any complications arise, contact Dr. Slate immediately.
Before proceeding with an extraction, consider other treatment options. Root canal therapy can save a severely decayed tooth. Dental crowns provide another alternative by capping and protecting the damaged tooth. Orthodontic treatment can address overcrowding without extraction. Discuss these options with your dentist to determine the best course of action.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extraction
Patients often have questions about tooth extraction. Many wonder if they can drive after the procedure. It is generally advised to arrange transportation, especially if sedation is used. The length of the extraction procedure varies, typically ranging from 20 minutes to an hour. Pain is a common concern, but anesthesia and pain relief options minimize discomfort.
What are the benefits of tooth extractions?
While the idea of tooth extraction can be daunting, there are several benefits. Removing a decayed or damaged tooth can provide significant pain relief. It can also prevent infections that could spread to other parts of the mouth. Overall, oral health may improve, leading to a healthier smile.

Explanation:
DNA helicase unwinds the dual helix, separating the 2 strands so they might be replicated by DNA polymerase.
You are watching: Which enzyme is responsible for unzipping the dna double helix
Primase to add an RNA inside wall to help initiate DNA replication. DNA ligase is responsible because that joining Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during replication.
Explanation:
DNA replication is the process of copy the parental DNA helix into two similar daughter helices. The procedure is semi-conservative, which way that one parent strand is passed under to each daughter strand. The process begins as soon as helicase unwinds the twin helix and separates the two strands to create the replication fork. Topoisomerase helps this process by relieving rotational stress, overload on the helix as soon as it is gift unwound. DNA polymerase adds brand-new nucleotides to the daughter strand, manufacturing the new DNA strand.
During replication there is a leading strand, which occurs when replication occurs from 5" to 3" and also moves towards the replication fork, and a lagging strand, once replication occurs far from the replication fork. Replication occurs in brief segments top top the lagging strand, well-known as Okazaki fragments. The protein DNA ligase is responsible for finally fusing these pieces together after they room made by DNA polymerase.

Example question #3 : Dna Replication
During DNA replication, one enzyme dubbed DNA helicase "unzips" the molecule the double-stranded DNA. What is the most likely mechanism that DNA helicase?
Possible Answers:
DNA helicase breaks down the hydrogen bonds in between purines and also purines
DNA helicase breaks under the hydrogen bonds in between the purines and pyrimidines
DNA helicase breaks down the covalent bonds between the purines and pyrimidines
DNA helicase breaks under the covalent bonds in between pyrimidines and pyrimidines
Correct answer:
DNA helicase breaks down the hydrogen bonds in between the purines and pyrimidines
Explanation:
The inquiry states that DNA helicase "unzips" the two strands the DNA; therefore, this enzyme should be breaking under the bonds in between base pairs.
The bonds between base pairs are dubbed hydrogen bonds, which is a noncovalent bond. This means that the DNA helicase is breaking down the hydrogen bonds between base bag in order to separate the 2 strands. In DNA, there room two type of base pairs: purines and also pyrimidines. Recall the adenine and also guanine room classified together purines vice versa, thymine and also cytosine are classified as pyrimidines; therefore, a base pairing in DNA constantly occurs in between a purine and a pyrimidine. This means that the DNA helicase is breaking down the hydrogen bonds between purines and also pyrimidines.

DNA ligase
Explanation:
DNA ligase is the protein responsible for linking, or ligating, Okazaki fragments together in bespeak to type a single complete DNA strand. This action only essential on the lagging strand; the top strand can be made consistently by DNA polymerase due to the fact that it is may be to check out away from the replication fork in the 3"-to5" direction. Because the DNA polymerase ~ above the lagging strand have to read towards the replication form, it cannot by synthesized continuously.

Example concern #5 : Dna Replication
DNA is naturally uncovered as a double-helix, yet for it to replicated that must very first be unwound so that DNA replication proteins can accessibility the 2 strands. The double-helix framework of DNA is very stable, and also after gift unwound for DNA replication to occur, the 2 strands can quickly return come the double-helix structure. If the strands re-anneal, proteins necessary for DNA replication can not enter and also begin the process of replication.
Which the the complying with pairs the DNA replication proteins is responsible because that unwinding the DNA double-helix and also maintaining the separation the the DNA strands?
Possible Answers:
Single-strand binding protein (SSB) and helicase
DNA polymerase and also DNA ligase
DNA ligase and helicase
DNA polymerase and also helicase
Helicase and single-strand binding protein (SSB)
Correct answer:
Helicase and single-strand binding protein (SSB)
Explanation:
Helicase is the protein resposible because that unwinding the DNA double-helix. Single-strand binding proteins affix to the freshly unwound strands that DNA and ensure that the strands perform not re-anneal. Helicase create the replication fork opening, permitting replication protein to enter and bind; single-strand binding proteins keep the replication fork open as proteins enter.

Example concern #1 : Dna Replication
Which the the following causes a DNA fragment come be created in the 5" come 3" direction?
Possible Answers:
None the the choices
Polarity causes DNA polymerase III have the right to only add nucleotides to the 5" end of a DNA strand
Hydrogen bonds avoid DNA polymerase III from including nucleotides to a DNA strand
Polarity causes DNA polymerase III can only add nucleotides to the 3" finish of a DNA strand.
DNA polymerase III can add nucleotides to any type of random allude on a DNA strand regardless of polarity
Correct answer:
Polarity causes DNA polymerase III deserve to only add nucleotides to the 3" finish of a DNA strand.
Explanation:
A DNA fragment will certainly be developed in the 5" come 3" direction due to the fact that of the polarity of the DNA molecule. Including nucleotides come the 3" end enables DNA polymerase to use the phosphate molecules as "fuel," and include a new nucleotide come the DNA strand.

Which the the following RNA molecules is responsible for transporting the code that will certainly be check out at the ribosomes in stimulate to produce a protein?
Possible Answers:
mRNA
snRNA
tRNA
rRNA
Correct answer:
mRNA
Explanation:
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is the RNA strand the is transcribed indigenous the gene uncovered on DNA. The is responsible for being read by a ribosom in order to produce a protein.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) develops a structural ingredient of the ribosomes. Transfer RNA (tRNA) dead amino acid residues and provides one anticodon to include the amino acids to the growing protein at the ribosome. Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) are discovered in the nucleus and help regulate transcription and maintain telomere length.

Example inquiry #1 : Dna Replication
DNA replication is semi-conservative. This means that __________.
Possible Answers:
an entirely new synthesized DNA molecule is created, when the original double helix remains together
parts from each initial strand will be supplied as templates when producing the new double helix, bring about a patchwork mix of both original and newly-synthesized nucleotides
both twin strands have various percentages the nucleotides
both dual strands have a newly created strand and an initial template strand
Correct answer:
both dual strands have a newly produced strand and an original template strand
Explanation:
DNA replication entails the separation the the two original DNA strands. Both of this strands room then replicated making use of DNA polymerase. This results in two DNA dual helices, each with a brand-new strand and an initial strand.
Consider this example, in i beg your pardon the parental strands are stood for by "P" and also the daughter strands are stood for by "D."
Before replication there room two parental strands: PP
The parental strands are split: p P
Daughter strands are created each parental strand: PDDP
The fully-replicated dual strands separate: PD DP
Each final strand has one parental strand (old DNA) and one daughter strand (new DNA).
Report one Error
Example concern #1 : Dna Replication
The procedure of DNA replication is thought about semiconservative. DNA is produced by using one more DNA strand together a template, and also building a brand-new complementary strand onto the pre-existing strand. Each new DNA molecule includes one strand indigenous the parental template, and also one recently synthesized strand.
A solitary DNA molecule (one double-helix) undergoes three rounds the replication. After ~ the last replication is complete, how countless of the DNA molecules current do not contain any component of the initial template?
Possible Answers:
Two
Eight
Four
Six
Zero
Correct answer:
Six
Explanation:
O=Original strand, N=New strand
Before any replications: OO
After one ring of replication, both brand-new double-helices contain one strand from the original double-helix and also one freshly synthesized strand.
1 replication: ON1, N1O
After the second replication, there are now 4 double-helix molecules. 2 contain original strands in mix with new strands, and two contain only brand-new strands.
2 replications: ON2, N2N1, N1N2, N2O
After the thrid replication occasion there will certainly be eight total molecules. That these, 6 will contain only new strands and also two will contain a combination of original and brand-new strands.
3 replications: ON3, N3N2, N2N3, N3N1, N1N3, N3N2, N2N3, N3O
There must always be two double-helices that contain original strands, as there are always only two initial strands and they do not disappear.

KBOB (AM)
KBOB is a radio station licensed to Davenport, Iowa, and airs a sports format. The station's frequency is 1170 kHz, and broadcasts at a power of 1 kW. Its transmitter is in Knoxville Road just outside of Milan, Illinois.
KBOB is owned by Townsquare Media, with studios located at 1229 Brady Street in Davenport (along with the co-located KJOC, WXLP, KBEA-FM and KIIK-FM).
History
The station signed on July 7, 1946 as KSTT, broadcasting from the Hotel Davenport in downtown Davenport. Format was typical of the era, with big band and vocal pop, along with news, sports and farm markets.
It wasn't until the mid-1950s—when it began playing the then-new Top 40/Contemporary Hit Radio genre—that the station really took off in popularity. Disc jockeys made liberal use of listener requests and call-in contests. If there was a live broadcast or news happening in the Quad Cities, listeners were sure to spot the "Big Red" mobile news cruiser. KSTT also polled listeners on their favorite current songs, which disc jockeys then presented in a weekly countdown program. Quad Cities area servicemen in Vietnam had tapes of KSTT programming sent to them.
The station, which moved in 1963 to 1111 East River Drive in downtown Davenport, had a large window in its studio, where motorists could see their favorite on-air disc jockeys broadcasting. Listeners today remember such radio personalities as Jay Gregory, Mike Kenneally, Michelle Coleman, Tom Clay, Bill Young, Greg Garron, Bryan Bradford, Dave Shropshire, Lou Gutenberger, Bobby Rich, Bob Bateman, Ruth & Fred, "Spike @ the Mic" O'Dell & Jim O'Hara, each of them presenting the current Top 40 hits in an entertaining way. Members of the station's award-winning news department included News Director Jerry Reid and reporters Dave Douglas (Tom Hosmanek), Gary Hummel, Paulee Lipsman, John Cloghssey, Dan Kennedy, Dan Potter, Jack Gabor, David McAlary & Fred Manfra.
KSTT listeners became participants as well as listeners, phoning in news tips, requesting songs. They attended KSTT-sponsored "hootenannys", sock-hops, "Smallstars" basketball games, picnics, concerts & "Good Guy-A-Go-Go" dances & contests. Dick Orkin's infamous "Chicken Man" a radio series & "The Tooth Fairy" another radio series episodes were heard daily.
For many years, KSTT remained the top-rated station in the Quad Cities market. But by the late 1970s early 1980s, KSTT's audience started to shrink. In August 1984, KSTT changed callsigns to KKZX, known to listeners as "11-KZX", and took one last-ditch effort at Top 40 music and had mild success. In early 1986, KKZX flipped to easy listening until 1987. After Guy Gannett Broadcasting sold the station as well as its sister station 97X to Goodrich Broadcasting, the station returned to its legendary KSTT call letters, but began programming "Golden Oldies" music from the 1950s through early 1970s, airing many of the same songs it played in its heyday. It worked for a while, but the resurgence was temporary.
Beginning in January 1989, KSTT was doing some simulcasting with sister FM station WXLP. By February 1992, 1170 AM's format was largely sports talk. In March 1993, the station's call letters were switched to KJOC.
During its 10-year run as a sports station, KJOC received most of its programming from ESPN Radio, and was the Quad Cities outlet for Chicago-area professional sports, including the Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox. For most of the 1990s, KJOC also provided coverage of local sports.
In April 2003, KJOC adopted a talk radio format. Branding itself as "Super Talk 1170," KJOC's flagship program was "The O'Reilly Factor" hosted by Bill O'Reilly. Chicago-area sports remained a fixture on the station.
On August 20, 2008, KJOC switched to an oldies format, getting most of its programming from ABC Radio Networks' "True Oldies Channel." The sports lineup continued to feature Chicago-area and Iowa State University sports.
On February 20, 2012, KUUL dropped their longtime oldies format and switched to a Top 40, which temporarily left KJOC as the lone oldies station in the Quad Cities; shortly after KUUL's switch, WYEC ("Rewind 93.9") began emphasizing its oldies format, which it had adopted some time earlier. KJOC's "True Oldies Channel" service focused on 1960s and 1970s music, while WYEC largely played music from the 1970s and 1980s plus some from the 1960s.
New owners and more format switches
On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare Media would acquire 53 Cumulus Media stations, including KJOC, for $238 million. The deal is part of Cumulus' acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare and Dial Global are both controlled by Oaktree Capital Management. The transaction was consummated effective November 14, 2013.
The format switched back to sports – a format last at 1170 AM 11 years earlier – on May 1, 2014, once again getting network programming from ESPN Radio.
On June 16, 2014, sister station KQCS (93.5 FM) began simulcasting KJOC's AM signal, as part of a planned format change – from hot adult contemporary to sports – at that frequency. The call letters were switched to KBOB (the letters formerly held by the station's sister frequency at 104.9 FM) on July 1, but initially continued to simulcast the sports talk format.
On September 8, 2014, a new classic country music format debuted at 1170 AM, with programming from Westwood One. The station was slated to begin carrying reports from the Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network by mid-September. Initial plans were to continue carrying Iowa State University sports events and local high school sports, as the station has done in the past; Chicago Cubs games were to remain at 1170 AM until the 2015 season, at which time they were to begin being carried on 93.5 FM. It was the first time 1170 AM carried a country music format full time, and marked the first-time local agriculture reports were available on a Quad Cities radio station since 2004.
In January 2015, it was announced that KBOB would become the radio broadcaster for the Quad Cities River Bandits; a Class-A Minor League Baseball team which is the Midwest League affiliate of the Houston Astros. 1AM 1170 had been the play-by-play broadcaster for the 2Quad Cities River Bandits from 1988 to 1996 before losing the broadcast rights to cross-market competitor WKBF in 1997. 2015 marks the first time AM 1170 would be the play-by-play broadcaster for the Quad Cities River Bandits in 19 years.
On August 30, 2019, KBOB returned to sports talk, branded as "ESPN 1170 AM", which moved from sister KJOC. Concurrently, that station flipped to active rock.

Kings Hill/Southwest Salmon Street station
Kings Hill/Southwest Salmon Street is a former light rail station in Portland, Oregon, United States, which was served by the Blue and Red lines of TriMet's MAX Light Rail. The station was situated within the Goose Hollow neighborhood. Its incorrectly punctuated name refers to the hillside to the west of the station, which has historically been referred to as King's Hill. A section of King's Hill, which contains many historic buildings, qualified for inclusion within the King's Hill Historic District, the easternmost boundary of which is at SW 21st Avenue.
Description and history
The station is located in the center of SW 18th Avenue and has a single platform between the tracks. The platforms are accessed from the left-hand side of the train.
Despite the Providence Park eastbound station being only two blocks away, the station was added at the request of the neighborhood. It provides service to Lincoln High School and the Multnomah Athletic Club. Though one of the least-used downtown MAX stations, in 2006 a new condominium development nearby was expected to boost ridership.
Public art
Artwork around the station recalls Tanner Creek, which was buried and infilled early in Portland's history, and a bronze goose paying tribute to the Goose Hollow neighborhood. The Simpsons creator Matt Groening etched Bart Simpson into the east sidewalk of SW 18th Avenue in 1996 during the construction of this station. The City of Portland has opted to leave the sidewalk intact. SW 18th Avenue runs behind Lincoln High School, where Groening graduated in 1972.
Bus line connections
When in operation, this MAX station was served by the following bus lines:
* 15-Belmont/NW 23rd Ave
* 51-Vista
* 63-Washington Park

Please Review my Site
Hello!
I am currently working on a school project for a PSA site promoting youth exercise. All tips are appreciated.
Go Exercise!
Cheers!
Where did the photos come from?
Most of them seem too dark.
I like your content and message!
What is your expected outcome for the site?
What is a PSA site?
The photos all came from stock image sites; however I made placed an opaque black foreground so that it is easier to read the white text. A PSA site is a public service announcement, sorry if I did not make that clear.
Interesting.
Oh, okay. Thought it referred to Photoshop or something.
The first thing I notice is it takes a while to load, presumably because of the video. That may affect your bounce rate with less patient visitors. You may want to display the placeholder image for the video while it loads.
The other thing that I noticed is another problem with the video, but an easy fix.
It’s giving you a horizontal scroller on smaller screens, because the width is not set correctly.
Replace min-width:100% and min-height:100% with width:100%; height:auto; on the video element.
I do have a preloader set up, and the video does not display on smaller devices. I’m not sure how to set up the placeholder image to display though.
I fixed the issue you pointed out with the video by disabling overflow-x for all of the html.
It gets rid of the scroller, but the video gets cropped off on the right. Setting full width will ensure visitors will see the whole width.
May I know which browser you are using? I don’t see much of an impact in chrome.
Additionally, I want the video to cover the whole screen. It does not make that much of a difference for me if a little is cut off. When the viewport actually gets too small, the video will be replaced with a static image.
Firefox, but the exact same thing happens in Chrome.
That’s why I recommend width:100% and not setting a min-width, so the video fits its container.
If you are happy with cropping the video, that’s up to you. But my preference would be for the video to fit, full width.
Thanks for your help.

Modafinil
Formula Drugs
General Information
Modafinil is indicated to reduce extreme sleepiness due to narcolepsy. This may also be used for other sleep disorders such as the period of stopped breathing during sleep. Modafinil is used to help you stay awake during work hours. It is if you have a work schedule that keeps you from having a normal sleep routine or shift work sleep disorder.
How does Modafinil work?
The mode of action of Modafinil appears to be different from other CNS stimulants, such as the amphetamine group of medicines. These are also sometimes used to promote wakefulness. The difference is believed to reduce the Modafinil’s potential for abuse and dependence. Though there may still be a risk of this if Modafinil is used long-term. This drug works by stimulating activity within the brain and spinal cord. This has an effect on several neurotransmitter systems in the brain. It is mainly in areas of the brain that regulates sleep and alertness.
Why use Modafinil?
Modafinil is a wakefulness-promoting agent. This is a prescription approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998. Modafinil affects certain substances in the brain that control the sleep/wake cycle. This medication is supplied as tablets for oral use. Each tablet contains 100mg and 200 mg of Modafinil as available strengths.

1961–62 Greek Football Cup
The 1961–62 Greek Football Cup was the 20th edition the Greek Football Cup.
Tournament details
The competition began normally, but however was not completed: although the Final (between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos) was held, it was abandoned in extra time, and it was determined no Cup would be awarded that year.
In the Round of 32, the teams that had qualified to Round of 16 of previous season qualified without matches. By Alpha Ethniki teams of that year, 6 teams were entered in qualifying matches. They were PAOK, Ethnikos Piraeus, Egaleo, Niki Volos, Panelefsiniakos and Fostiras. The last two did not qualify for the Round of 32, after they were eliminated by Ethnikos and Egaleo respectively.
In the Round of 32, the teams of Central and Southern Greece were drawn against each other, as were the teams of Northern Greece, with the exception of the tie between Atromitos and Olympiacos Kozani. From the Round of 16 and afterwards, there was a draw between teams that had qualified. In two cases the winners were determined by draw, after both matches ended in a draw after extra time. Olympiacos won by 9–0 against a subpar OFI Crete team.
Finalists that year were the eternal enemies, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos. The match was played at the AEK Stadium. It was an eventful and very hard match that was marked by three red cards in a first half, which in fact lasted 66 minutes because of continuous interruptions due to crowd behaviour. The intermission lasted 30 minutes, and spectators became suspicious that both teams had arranged for a draw in order to make more money from the replay (there being no penalty shootouts at the time), hurled objects on to the pitch.
The second half went more smoothly despite the reactions of disgruntled spectators unhappy with proceedings. The scores remained tied and the match went to extra time. However, with the 21 minutes of delays at the beginning of the match, darkness set in (there were no floodlights in the stadium), so the Swiss referee abandoned the game.
The HFF, fearful of reactions, declined to arrange a replay, so while there was a Cup Final, there was no Cup winner. In the European Cup Winners' Cup of next season Olympiacos were entered, while Panathinaikos were the champions of that year, and therefore entered the European Cup competition.
Calendar
From Round of 32 onwards:
Knockout phase
In the knockout phase, teams play against each other over a single match. If the match ends up as a draw, extra time will be played and if the match remains a draw a replay match is set at the home of the guest team which the extra time rule stands as well. If a winner doesn't occur after the replay match the winner emerges by a flip of a coin, except from the final. The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
* In the draw for the round of 32, the teams that had qualified to previous' season Round of 16 are seeded and the clubs that passed the qualification round are unseeded. The teams of Central and Southern Greece were drawn against each other, as were the teams of Northern Greece, with the exception of one match.
* In the draws for the round of 16 onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group can be drawn against each other.

CORRECTED-FOREX-Safe haven support keeps dollar near 18-month high on growth risks
(Correct headline, first bullet and first paragraph to make milestone near 18-month high, instead of near 19-month) * Dollar index hovers near 18-month high * Investors await expected Fed hike on Wednesday * Euro, sterling marginally weaker in early Asian trade * Graphic: World FX rates in 2018 tmsnrt.rs/2egbfVh By Vatsal Srivastava SINGAPORE, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The dollar held near an 18-month high on Monday, bolstered by safe-haven buying as heightened concerns of a global economic slowdown reduced appetite for riskier assets such as stocks and Asian currencies. Weaker-than-expected economic data out of China and Europe and fears of a possible U.S. government shut down spooked investors away from stocks toward safe haven assets such as the greenback and yen. “The dollar is clearly showing it is attractive during times of market stress,” said Ray Attrill, head of currency strategy at NAB. The dollar index, which gauges its value versus six major peers, was little changed at 97.44, below the 19-month high of 97.71 it hit on Friday. The Australian dollar, whose fortunes are closely tied to China’s economy, was marginally lower at $0.7174. It lost 0.3 percent of its value last week as data showed Chinese November retail sales grew at the weakest pace since 2003 and industrial output rose the least in nearly three years, underlining risks to the economy. The offshore Chinese yuan was flat at 6.9013. Apart from fears of a global economic slowdown, markets are also focussing on the future trajectory of U.S. monetary policy. The Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates by 25 basis points at its Dec. 18-19 meeting. The central bank has lifted rates eight times since December 2015 in a bid to restore policy to more normal settings after having slashed borrowing costs to near zero to combat the financial crisis a decade ago. With the December hike largely factored in by the market, larger moves in the dollar will be guided by the Fed’s forward guidance. According to their latest projections in September, the median view among the Fed’s policymakers was for three rate hikes in 2019. However, interest rate futures used to gauge the probability of further hikes are pricing in only one rate hike in 2019. Traders believe that higher U.S. borrowing costs will likely hurt U.S. growth momentum and ultimately force the Fed to pause its monetary tightening path. Recent comments by Fed officials have also been read as dovish by some analysts. Last month, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said rates were near the range of policymakers’ estimates of “neutral” - the level at which they neither stimulate nor impede the economy “The Fed will most likely move from an auto-pilot mode to being data dependent,” added Attrill. The yen was flat in early Asian trade at 113.36 to the dollar. It strengthened against the euro and sterling last week, reflecting the risk-off mood in the financial markets. The euro was also little changed at $1.1304, having lost 0.6 percent last week after weaker-than expected data out of France and Germany suggested that economic activity in Europe remains weak. Sterling remained under pressure in Asian trade, down 0.02 percent at $1.2582. British trade minister Liam Fox said on Sunday talks with the European Union to secure “assurances” for parliament on Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal will take time, with a decision expected in the New Year.

User:Unlap98/Science of Nuclear Weapons
Introduction
Nuclear weapons are commonly referred to as the most powerful weapon known to and used by humans. The use, proliferation, and subsequent anti-proliferation treaties of nuclear weapons are frequently debated topics. One aspect of nuclear weapons that is not frequently debated would be the fundamental science of these weapons. It is known to many that nuclear weapons, in practice, use radioactive materials to create a large fireball for the purpose of destruction. What is unknown to many is how the fireball is generated.
Pre-History of Nuclear Weapons
Before the 1900s, it was theorized that not all elements hold the same intrinsic properties and that some hold wildly different properties than other elements. One element drew much attention to itself because of its unique properties, Uranium. Marie Curie managed to discover and study a new element, Radium, when studying uranium. This discovery was perplexing, as it indicated that atoms could decompose into new elements. This would continue to puzzle scientists for nearly the following 30 years.
In the early 1930's, it had been established that heavier elements such as uranium had the potential to decay into two lighter elements, an alpha particle, and a significant amount of energy. The new goal of scientists was to determine if this decay could be initiated. In 1933, Enrico Fermi determined that this could be initiated by firing a neutron into an atom of uranium, which would push the atom over the figurative edge to force a decay. The new question was whether the initiation of one decay would lead to another, in a sort of chain reaction.
In 1939, it was known that a chain reaction was possible. Notable scientists such as Enrico Fermi, a pioneer in nuclear weapons research, agreed that such an event was indeed possible. This meant that if enough Uranium was gathered, then it is conceivable that the initiation of one decay would set off numerous other decays in the sample of Uranium. This would lead to a significant amount of energy being released in a short manner of time, leading to an explosion.
First Practical Application
After determining that a chain reaction was possible, the route to building a functioning weapon started with acquiring enough Uranium to achieve a Critical mass. A critical mass is the amount of Uranium that must be collected into a single object such that a chain reaction can sustain itself. Not any isotope of Uranium was acceptable, as it needed to be Uranium-235 in a concentration of at least 70% for a chain reaction to be self-sustaining. This is due to the fact that of the two most common isotopes of Uranium, Uranium-235 and Uranium-238, only Uranium 235 was capable of achieving a chain reaction. The problem then arose of acquiring enough Uranium 235, as it only occurs in a percentage of 0.7% naturally occurring Uranium. To acquire an amount of Uranium necessary for a critical mass, methods such as mass spectroscopy and gas diffusion were used to separate the lighter Uranium 235 from its counterpart Uranium 238. These methods were slow and expensive, costing the equivalent of billions of United States dollars in the year 2021. Once the critical mass had been gathered, the primary method for creating a functioning bomb was to fire a Uranium 235 "slug" into a receiving sphere of Uranium 235 to instantaneously create a critical mass.
An alternative route was also considered for acquiring a critical mass. This method involved using Plutonium, a byproduct of producing Uranium, as the new material to be made into a critical mass. This method was comparatively faster than the mass spectroscopy and gas diffusion methods but was just as expensive. It was possible for a weapon to be made from Plutonium in a fraction of the time that it would take to gather enough Uranium 235 to make a Uranium weapon. The drawback to this method is that for a critical mass to be achieved, the plutonium could not simply be brought together into one piece. Instead, this method involved compressing a sphere of Plutonium into a small enough space to initiate a chain reaction. The compression was initiated by the simultaneous detonation of explosives surrounding a Plutonium core.
Of the two routes to making a functioning weapon, the scientists developing the weapon were certain of the success of the Uranium weapon but were unsure of the success of the Plutonium weapon. This led to the testing of the first nuclear weapon.
Testing
The first nuclear test to occur was performed on July 4th, 1945. This test was the detonation of what was known as "The Gadget", a plutonium core nuclear weapon. The test was meant to determine if the implosion design of the Plutonium bomb would work in practice. A concern in this test was whether the bomb in question had the potential to ignite the atmosphere itself on fire. Extensive calculations and findings on the potential chemistry of a nuclear reaction in the air and the energy it would release were found and the scientists at the test site were confident that the atmosphere was safe from ignition. The test proceeded, yielded the largest explosion ever known to man at the time. With this, the nuclear bomb had become a reality.
Fission to Fusion
Years after the testing and use of nuclear weapons by the United States against Japan, nuclear weapon technology had stemmed out into a new branch of nuclear physics. The previous bomb types relied on the splitting of heavier atoms to release energy; a process known as Fission. As science progressed and technology improved, the possibility of a new type of nuclear weapon was conceived, one that relies on Nuclear fusion. The process of fusion involves combining two light elements such as hydrogen to produce a single heavier element such a helium. This process also releases energy as the binding forces within and between atoms are overcome. This type of weapon would involve a traditional Plutonium or Uranium core and would then encase the core in a chamber of hydrogen. As the Uranium or Plutonium is detonated, the temperatures reached would mimic that of a star such as the sun, allowing the hydrogen atoms to break the nuclear bonds keeping them separate and would fuse. This would add dramatically to the power of a nuclear weapon, and this new power does not have a conceivable limit. As the hydrogen increases the yield of the nuclear weapon, the process of adding layers of hydrogen to the nuclear weapon could theoretically be repeated indefinitely. The only limits on the size of such a nuclear bomb would be available resources and the ability to transport such a weapon.

Dell debuts at $46 in return to market
Dec 28 (Reuters) - Dell Technologies Inc’s Class C shares opened at $46 in their return to public markets on Friday, after the company bought back shares tied to its interest in software maker VMware earlier in the month. Dell bought back its shares for $23.9 billion, up from its earlier offer of $21.7 billion. The deal, which was announced in July, allowed Dell to become a publicly listed company without an initial public offering, which would likely have involved grilling by stock market investors over Dell’s $52.7 billion debt pile.

Ferrante Pallavicino
Ferrante Pallavicino (23 March 1615 – 5 March 1644) was an Italian writer of numerous antisocial and obscene stories and novels with biblical and profane themes, lampoons and satires in Venice which, according to Edward Muir, "were so popular that booksellers and printers bought them from him at a premium." Pallavicino's scandalous satires, which cost him his head at the age of twenty-eight, were all published under pseudonyms or anonymously.
Early life
Pallavicino was born in Piacenza, Italy, a member of the old Italian family of the Pallavicini. He received a good education at Padua and elsewhere, and early in life entered the Augustinian order, residing chiefly in Venice. For a year he accompanied the general Ottavio Piccolomini in his German campaigns as field chaplain, and in 1641, shortly after his return, he published a number of clever but exceedingly scurrilous satires on the Roman Curia and on the powerful house of the Barberini, held together by the frame story expressed in its title, Il Corriero svaligiato ("The Post-boy Robbed of his Bag"). In this novella published in 1641, four courtiers read and comment on a post-bag of letters that their noble master has ordered stolen from a courier, which include some political ones written by the Spanish governor of Milan. The basis of his story allowed Pallavicino to express a number of divergent opinions, which included those critical of contemporary rulers in Italy, who included Pope Urban VIII Barberini, "the barber who cut the beard of Christ"; the Jesuits, who were attempting to monopolize all education and intellectual life; the Roman Inquisition, which ruined publishers through its prosecutions; and the Spanish, who at the time occupied parts of Italy. "The only powers to escape condemnation in the letters", according to Muir, "were the valiant republics, Genoa, Lucca, and especially Venice, which had managed to maintain political independence."
The reaction to this work was immediate: the papal nuncio to Venice, Francesco Vitelli, demanded Pallavicino's arrest; although the writer spent six months in prison, his allies kept him from being tried. In March 1642, the pro-papal party in the Venetian Senate proposed legislation to banish Pallavicino and forbid the sale of Il Corriero, but despite receiving four votes the measure failed to pass. In spite of these successes, after his release from prison Pallavicini was persecuted by the papal nuncio and Francesco Barberini, Pope Urban's nephew. "Twice Pallavicino was forced to leave his monastery and take refuge with Loredan," writes Muir, "and during the summer of 1642 he escaped Venice, traveling home to Parma, to Friuli, and back to Parma, only to return in August to see a woman."
Later career
Despite these travails, Pallavicino continued his satiric attacks on the Pope. In the 18 months following the publication of Il Corriero, he wrote four more books. In 1642 appeared his Baccinata ouero battarella per le api barberine, a "Drumming against the Barberini bees, on the occasion of Our Lord Pope Urban the Eighth taking up arms against Parma" in the First War of Castro against Odoardo Farnese, duke of Parma and Castro. It was the country folk's practice to make a racket on pots and pans (baccinata) in order to disperse a swarm of bees — the heraldic emblem of the Barberini — that were settling in an undesirable place. The Baccinata took the form of a letter to Francesco Vitelli, papal nuncio at Venice, comparing the papal actions unfavourably with those of Christ: "Christ shed his own blood, and Our Lord sheds the blood of others and promises eternal life to those who shed the most Christian blood... and if the shepherd is only permitted a thin rod with which to control the sheepfold, or better still, nothing at all, as Christ said to the Apostles, 'Do not carry any rod with you on the way', what can be said of Our Lord and Pastor, who scatters the herd of the Church with swords, guns, arquebuses and cannons?'"
Even more notorious was La Retorica delle puttane ("The Rhetoric of Whores"), which Muir describes as a "scandalous anti-Jesuit work", which "demonstrates why Pallavicino was the only Italian author of his epoch capable of a coherent vision that integrated satire, skepticism, and naturalistic morality." La Retorica is written in the form of a dialogue between an aged prostitute and her naive apprentice. The older woman is sick, poor, and miserable because, she explains, she "did not know to stop at rhetoric, wanting to go on to learn philosophy." Muir explains, "By 'rhetoric,' she means the arts of simulation and dissimulation, which would have brought her pleasure and riches, without danger, while philosophy, with its pretension to discovering truth, has brought her the ruin of emotional authenticity." The fifteen lessons of the old whore were based on Cypriano de Soarez's De arte rhetorica, the manual used in Jesuit schools. Muir pointedly notes, "By systematically pursuing the parallels between rhetorical persuasion and erotic seduction, Pallavicino demonstrates how the high art of rhetoric has the same instrumental character as the lowly deceptions of the prostitute."
La Retorica delle puttane (1643) proved to be a step too far, and in the autumn of 1643 Pallavicino had to flee Venice for Bergamo, where he completed the first volume of his last work, Il Divortio celeste ("The Celestial Divorce"), published in 1643, which Muir reports "came to be known, in the words of a contemporary, as 'superior to all others in impiety and blasphemies against the Roman Church.'" In this proposed trilogy, Pallavicino had portrayed Jesus Christ as seeking to divorce himself from the Roman Catholic Church (widely known then as the "bride of Christ"), for committing intolerable adulteries and for living a sinful life. God then sends Saint Paul to investigate these claims, and based on his findings, he recommends that Christ's request be granted. Although the only completed volume of the series ends at this point, according to Muir the story was continued "with an account of how Luther, Calvin, and Mark of Ephesus (the 15th-century Greek theologian who had opposed the unification of the Greek and Roman churches) offered their own churches as the new bride of Christ. After considering their suitability for matrimony, Christ was to have demurred, stating that he did not intend to wed any of the existing churches." A copy of Pallavicino's manuscript found its way to Geneva, where it was published. Il Divortio became a sensation in Italy (where Muir notes it was sold "under the counter"), and was plagiarized in Protestant countries, where German, Swedish, French, Dutch and English translations appeared.
Death and legacy
It was in Bergamo that the son of an Italian bookseller in Paris, Charles de Breche – who, as a paid agent of the Barberini had befriended Pallavicino a few years before – convinced him that Cardinal Richelieu greatly admired his works and wanted to commission Pallavicino to serve as the cardinal's official historian if he were to come to France. Despite the fact that Richelieu died while the two were en route to Paris, de Breche convinced Pallavicino to continue the journey, and as they were crossing one of the bridges at Orange in the neighborhood of Avignon, a papal enclave within France, there de Breche betrayed him to the local papal authorities. After fourteen months' imprisonment, during which time he wrote a letter to Francesco Barberini, begging for clemency but also during which his Il Divortio was also published in Geneva, with unlucky timing, Pallavicino was beheaded at Avignon.
His enemies did not long survive Pallavicino. Five months later, Pope Urban was dead; within two years de Breche was stabbed to death in Paris by a certain Ganducci, but as Muir comments, "whether or not in revenge for Pallavicino's death is unknown." When a brief life was appended to a selection of his works that included a continuation of the Corriero, the author, Girolamo Brusoni, remained discreetly anonymous. Pallavicino's scandalous reputation continued until the end of the century and inspired satires of Antonio Lupis, Carlo Moscheni, Gregorio Leti and Alain René Lesage. Often a free-thinking individual named "Ferrante" appears in their satiric dialogues.
Other writings
Pallavicino was a prolific writer in his truncated career. A bibliography of his scattered works and ephemera and a rigorous chronology of their numerous reprints and translations was compiled by Laura Coci, "Bibliografia di Ferrante Pallavicino", Studi secenteschi 24 (1983:221-306).

The non-canonical Inflammasome Pathway
Intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, and Burkholderia thailandensis activates mouse caspase-11 causing pyroptotic cell death, IL-1 processing, and lethal septic shock. How caspase-11 drives these downstream signaling events is largely unknown. Here we show that Gasdermin-D (Gsdmd) is essential for caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis and IL-1 maturation. A forward genetic screen with ethyl-N-nitrosourea-mutagenized mice linked Gsdmd to the intracellular LPS response. Macrophages from Gsdmd–/– mice generated by gene targeting also exhibited defective pyroptosis and IL-1 secretion induced by cytoplasmic LPS or Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, Gsdmd–/– mice were protected from a lethal dose of LPS. Mechanistically, caspase-11 cleaved Gsdmd and the N-terminal Gsdmd fragment promoted both pyroptosis and NLRP3-dependent activation of caspase-1 in a cell-intrinsic manner. Our data identify Gsdmd as a critical target of caspase-11 and a key mediator of the host response against Gram-negative bacterial infection. At the meeting I’ll give an update on the discovery of an additional mediator of pyroptosis: IRF2, a transcriptional factor that drives the expression of Gsdmd. In it’s absence cells and mice are resistant to LPS challenge. In sum we have defined a new pathway for LPS responsiveness that may have therapeutic potential.

Is There Antiperspirant Without Aluminum?
Conventional deodorants have multiple functions. As antiperspirant try to clog the pores of the skin in the armpits with aluminum salts, so that only little sweat can escape. The deodorant function neutralizes the smell of sweat and acts antiseptic against bacteria. A pure deo does not prevent sweating, but prevents odor. The fact that more and more people are looking for a men’s deodorant without aluminum is not something new. Conventional deodorants typically contain aluminum as Antiperspirant. Aluminum in the form of aluminum chloride is used to prevent sweating. The pores of the skin are closed so that less sweat comes out.
What causes aluminum?
Through the use of aluminum salts, it is directly involved in the detoxification processes of the body. The human body uses some areas for the excretion of pollutants. Among them are also the armpits. Through the use of antiperspirants perspiration is reduced so that the body can excrete less over the armpits. In some people allergic reactions are caused that manifest themselves for example in the form of a rash (rash) or irritation.
Men's Deodorant without Aluminum
Men’s Deodorant without Aluminum
For years, aluminum is suspected as a risk factor for breast cancer and is associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Can aluminum cause breast cancer?
So far he has not been able to assign any scientific study, that aluminum deodorants are related to breast cancer in women.
But a study of scientists from the University of Keele has highlighted that the frequent use of antiperspirant deodorants can lead to the occurrence of breast cancer cases.
Are there alternatives to aluminum chloride?
Many antiperspirants contain up to 25% aluminum salts. Since consumers now react very sensitive to this issue, more and more manufacturers offer men’s deodorant without aluminum. These deodorants are also safe against sweat stains, although they are without artificial preservatives, perfume and alcohol. According to a market study (Beiersdorf) 72% of consumers want men’s deodorant without aluminum, which leave little or no residue on the skin and clothing.
Due to this discussion, manufacturers are already developing alternatives. Urdeo of Laetitia uses for example alkaline minerals. These neutralize the acidic environment of sweat and thereby prevent the growth of the bacteria that cause the bad smell. The life base of the bacteria is removed and the smell of sweat, which is caused by the bacteria themselves, cannot be formed. Another example is Ovimed. Essential oils and natural plant extracts are used to prevent enzymatic degradation of sweat, resulting in unpleasant odors.
Especially the well-known manufacturers of natural cosmetics such as Weleda, Logona, Lavera or Speick have been offering deodorants without aluminum chlorides for years. Own combinations developed using plants are used to reduce perspiration and sweat odor. The wide range of products from these manufacturers is regularly monitored by independent testing laboratories. Vitamin C is used as a preservative. Natural ingredients such as coriander, pomegranate, sage and eucalyptus protect against odor.
However, it is recommended to critically evaluate the ingredients of the products of some well-known brands of perfume or sport.

If you experience any side effects, such as dizziness, nausea, or allergic reactions, contact your healthcare provider immediately. It is essential to monitor your body’s response to the treatment.
5. Can I get a customized IV drip formulation?
Yes, many service providers offer customized IV drip formulations tailored to the athlete’s specific needs and goals. During the initial consultation, discuss your requirements to get the most suitable IV drip.
6. Is there a risk of infection with at-home IV drips?
When administered by qualified professionals following strict hygiene protocols, the risk of infection is minimal. Always ensure that the service provider adheres to high standards of cleanliness and safety.
7. How long does it take to see the benefits of an IV drip?
Many athletes report feeling the benefits of an IV drip immediately after the session. However, the full effects, such as improved performance and faster recovery, may be more noticeable after regular sessions.

The improvement of the blacks in body and mind, in the firſt inſtance of their mixture with the whites, has been obſerved by every one, and proves that their inferiority is not the effect merely of their condition of life.

Access servlet declared HttpSession in jsp
If the username, password and location are correct in login servlet i am creating a HttpSession and get to the jsp page. Below is the code in servlet:
HttpSession sessionsa = request.getSession(true);
sessionsa.setAttribute("user",userName); //userName is a String variable
sessionsa.setAttribute("location",location); //location in value place is a String variable
Now on jsp page I am not able to access the attributes. Code on jsp:
sessionsa = request.getSession();
String user = (String) sessionsa.getAttribute("user");
String location = (String) sessionsa.getAttribute("location");
It states that cannot find symbol variable sessionsa in class SimplifiedJSPServlet. Please help. Have been googling it since 2 days.
Answers
Do like this,first make the session creation false in your jsp.
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" session="false"%>
Then to get the session,
<%
HttpSession sessionsa = request.getSession(false);
String user = (String) sessionsa.getAttribute("user");
String location = (String) sessionsa.getAttribute("location");
%>
By this you will get the user and location from the session.Hope this will help you.
You can directly use session variable (HttpSession object associated with the request), it is available as Implicit Objects in JSP.You can use session object without any initialization or getSession().
session object is available in JSP if you haven't include below line in JSP
<%@ page session="false" %>
It will disable session tracking in JSP file in which it is included.If this line is included in JSP you cant able to used session object in JSP directly.
From Rererence doc:
JSP Implicit Objects are the Java objects that the JSP Container makes available
to developers in each page and developer can call them directly without being
explicitly declared.
In your case you can used below code.
String user = (String) session.getAttribute("user");
String location = (String) session.getAttribute("location");
You can also try to directly fetch values using session variable which is pre defined in scope of every jsp:
(String)session.getAttribute("name");

American Literature: Columbus,Smith, Bradford,Jefferson.
The new world discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, would lead to a new start for people's lives in America for centuries to come. America today is still referred to as the land of dreams, but over three hundred years ago that phrase had much more meaning to the people. A few people would travel across the Atlantic in search of Asia to establish faster trade routes, later some would travel to the new world to find riches, and than even more would travel for freedom. The literature these people have left behind, gives us some idea of just what their dreams were and how they either succeeded or failed in their quests for a better life. .
"A thousand different sorts of trees, with their fruit were to be met with, and of a wonderfully delicious odor. It was a great affliction to me to be ignorant of their natures, for I am very certain they are all valuable; specimens of them and of the plants I have preserved" (Columbus 108-109). Columbus, thinking he had reached Asia, soon realized he had not and became aware of the fact that he had discovered land that no other Europeans knew of. The islands he landed on did not consist of abundances of riches such as gold and silver, but to Columbus the Islands were seen as paradise. Columbus established good relations with the Native Americans and even set up a barter situation with them so there could be further trade. Columbus may not have succeeded in his goal of reaching Asia by traveling west, but he did accomplish the goal of creating a better life for himself. He has become one of the most recognized names in history and he opened up the exploration for Spain into the new world.
It would be a century later before England would approve the formation of the colony Jamestown, where John Smith would become a prominent figure. After the death of the original president of Jamestown, John Smith took over in 1608.

Oracle Slips Despite Higher FYQ3 View, EPS Beats; Ellison Trumpets Lead over Salesforce
Shares of Oracle (ORCL) are up 68 cents, or 1.8%, at $39.54, after the company this afternoon reportedfiscal Q2 revenue in line with analysts’ expectations, and earnings per share that topped expectations, with revenue held back by the continued rise of the U.S. dollar against other world currencies.Revenue in the three months ended in November declined by 6%, year over year, to $9 billion, yielding EPS of 63 cents, excluding some costs.Analysts had been modeling $9.06 billion and 60 cents a share.Oracle said its revenue would have been flat with the prior-year period, instead of down, if not for the effect of the rising U.S. dollar.Chairman and founder Larry Ellison once again took a swipe at competitor Salesforce.com (CRM), stating "We are still on-target to sell and book more than $1.5 billion of new SaaS and PaaS business this fiscal year; That is considerably more SaaS and PaaS new business than any other cloud services provider including salesforce.com."Read further...

Formatting problem
This page has an odd formatting problem; check the link labelled "examiner" near the bottom, which is a reference to an external hyperlink. There is too much whitespace following the word. Moving the comma in and out, as well as using a line break instead of the space, didn't help. Any ideas?
* This problem appears to have been fixed. --JeremyStein 20:56, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Cryptome.org suffers e-gold fraud
I've raised this section cause it seems important/current event. The Cryptome page that details some kind of problem with e-gold is at http://cryptome.org/e-gold-scam.htm <IP_ADDRESS> 20:13, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Seem to me that "scam" was just Tampa Exchange being victim of a regular bank f*ck up. See the topmost note on the linked webpage. Zarutian 02:18, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Advertisement?
Isn't this article an unpaid advertisement? With lot of links to the e-gold site? --Pjacobi 13:21, 2005 Jan 21 (UTC)
Definitely needs NPOV
There is only one downside given, rather weakly, and it is immediately strongly refuted.
Where's the talking about how e-gold is the favorite currency of criminals (credit card fraudsters, spammers, fraudulent investment schemes)?
How do you NPOV an article?
Made changes
I've made changes, the article had such POV problems it was ridiculous. HTH
More questions
The article also makes no reference to a recent attack in which virus-writers used an automated program to clean out E-gold accounts. See this 9/18/05 article in the Los Angeles Times: http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-fi-keyloggers18sep18,1,5607754.story -LS
Can't access the article any more - tutaref
Lots of changes
Thought the old version was ugly and boring, and tried to make the page look a bit more like a Wikipedia article. Leaving the POV tag in on for a while in case somebody wants to comment on that. --Romæus 19:34, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
* Nice job Rom; I think it looks a lot better. We can probably remove the POV tag, now....thoughts? --Atlastawake 15:52, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
* Thanks. POV tag removal fine by me. --Romæus 18:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
e-gold website spells e-gold with a lowercase e. Fixed the text accordingly and added the lowercase tag. --Romæus 18:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
One problem is wherever you have a hyphenated word (such as "e-gold"), on a web page, you really need to wrap the word in a pair of no-break (nobr) tags, to stop it splitting over lines. Really the Wikpaedia folks should have thought of this and built the concept in to the presentation of text, no?
Security and fraud
As to the edit by <IP_ADDRESS>, I've never been asked for any identification, apart from name, country, email and phone number. Hardly anywhere near the requirements of banks in my opinion. Even with PayPal you practically have to give them your credit card # especially if you are not from the US. --Romæus 09:29, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
E-Gold have just been charged with money laundering. http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11462 Godot 21:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
e-gold has issued a statement addressing these things which probably should be noted somewhere http://blog.e-gold.com/2008/07/a-new-beginning.html <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:09, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Vulnerability to government seizures?
How vulnerable is currency held in an e-gold account to being seized by governments, the way they do to peoples' bank accounts?
I suppose if the government bugged your computer (I recall a case where some guy had PGP-encrypted files on his computer, they got a search warrant, copied the files, then when he was released by police, he went back to use his computer but it had been bugged so the government got his PGP passphrases to those files then tried to use them in court against him), they could end up getting your e-gold username and password and then they can empty it out and e-gold won't do anything about it.
(However, all of that applies exactly to your bank account - or anything else whatsoever in life!)
Can the government subpoena e-gold to make them give up your account though?
Answer - yes, of course. The government can sometimes get a subpoena to make anyone do anything.
Tedious and boring article, so I rewrote it.
That was an incredibly tedious, almost legalese, article that seemed to be mainly cut-and-paste from web sites and other sources.
I rewrote most of it in a jaunty and streetwise style. Hope it helps.

How is new e-gold issued?
They claim to have no contact with fiat currency, but when they issue more e-gold, and thus buy more gold bars, they must buy and sell other currencys. Or do they allow big companies to deposit gold bars in exchange of e-gold? --Apoc2400 05:22, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
* You can buy e-gold using fiat currency from third parties that already own e-gold and are willing to sell it for fiat currency. I presume that new e-gold is created by transfering title of gold bars to e-gold. However I can't find any explaination of the procedure via which that act is realised. You can view the details about their claimed collection of gold bars held in trust at the following URL: http://www.e-gold.com/examiner.html Terjepetersen 11:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
* I'm wondering how did the first exchanger get its e-gold, if e-gold doesn't deal with fiat money? Did it have to give a gold bar to Jackson? Did Jackson actually buy gold to start it off or just enter a number in a database? <IP_ADDRESS> 11:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
* I would assume the founders provided a float of bullion when e-gold launched in 1996. Once the system is up and running, new bullion is purchased through either Gold & Silver Reserve Inc. or OmniPay and placed into storage, with corresponding e-gold units issued to third-party exchangers in return for fiat currency (again I assume, I am not an exchanger but someone on this discussion page might be). nirvana2013 14:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
* Logically this need for exchange providers to transfer additional physical gold into the system is ongoing. Presumably an email to e-gold might answer these questions. Terjepetersen 13:43, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
* (Same anon guy as above) OK, so do you think the total e-gold stored in the computers is constant until GSR/omni buys a new gold bar? Because when I use an exchanger I just send money to their e-gold account (which has the same status as mine), and I presume it stays there until someone exchanges the other way. <IP_ADDRESS> 06:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
* Yes that`s how I imagine the system working, which is not too different from gold exchange-traded funds, with GETFs issuing shares to stock markets once a new gold bar is purchased, rather than DGC providers issuing DGC units to digital gold currency exchangers. If the number of buyers exactly equals the number of sellers in either of these systems, then the total gold holdings would remain constant (less monthly storage costs). nirvana2013 23:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Criticisms: Security
''Note: the beginning of this discussion has been moved here from user talk pages, to allow subject matter experts to contribute -- Epimetreus 22:50, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Gonvaled, I reverted your edits on security; they're inappropriate to an encyclopedia entry. (See WP:NOT). I'm sure there are other places, though, that you can post about your trouble - forums, a blog, etc. Good luck in your endeavour! -- Epimetreus 21:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
* Hi Epimetreus. I understand your criticism to my edit of the e-gold article. I have changed it again and added a detailed description of how a vulnerabiliy can be exploited, as well as the associated risks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gonvaled (talk • contribs) 02:56, 7 September 2006.
* Gonvaled - much less personal, but it could still be considered 'original research' - see WP:NOR. It remains a report of something that could happen, based on what did happen to one person. Because it's not verifiable as defined by Wikipedia (see WP:V), it's not yet appropriate for inclusion. I suggest looking for a source to cite, and I do wish you luck! Also, make sure to sign and date your posts, as per WP:SIG. The quickest and easiest method is to use four tildes in a row, like this: ~.
* Note to all: I've added citation requests for both the claim that a security flaw has been eliminated, and for Gonvaled's information on how that solution doesn't stop other security problems -- Epimetreus 22:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
* Epimetreus, as you see in my edits, the only source I have is a copy of en e-mail received from e-gold. It is exatly this obscurity about this issue that makes e-gold so dangerous for investors. I think that wikipedia is a very good place to make users aware of drawbacks and advantages of using a given system. There are a lot of advantages in e-gold, as they are already stated in the article. But this is a very clear and serious risk that the users must be aware of. I have stated it in a very plain manner, easy to understand and from the experience of somebody affected directly by it. But do not let the fact that it has been a personal experience diminish the quality of the information provided. It is an objective risk, and I have detailed a very specific way in which it can happen - a way which I think is very representative of the method used by criminals to abuse the vulnerabilities of a given system. And I have explained an added vulnerability of e-gold (namely, the fact that they do not block suspicious account), which is very, very serious, and not publicited.
* Regarding style: sorry, I was not aware of the signature feature. Gonvaled 09:15, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Lies
Can someone verify the credibility of the "Lies" sub-section? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-gold#Lies) Highway of Life (talk) 22:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
which oz?
The intro mentions how many ounces of gold E-Gold has in storage, but there are 2 definitions of oz and usually precious metals use Troy Ounces. Perhaps this should be clarified. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Clarification needed
The article does not clarify why the US Grand Jury indictment is affecting e-gold's operations at all, considering they are not based in the US. This is rather confusing to me, as it would seem that American courts would have no jurisdiction over this company. Could someone with expertise please make this connection more clear in the article?

Well worth closing down!
E-Gold is aiding crime, they are tunneling ransom money to the russian hackers who made the file encrypting ransomware computer virus "Gpcode.AK". A lot of that ransom money is flowing via E-gold accounts 5431725 and 5437838. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:34, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Hopelessly NOT NPOV
The intro does not mention that the proprietors are facing indictment on serious charges. Looks to me like the page is being subjected to a whitewash job by the company to keep the money flowing in.

and brothers to obtain political liberty; in a word, they were working for men and not for themselves, and this made an immense difference in the judgment meted out to them. However, it is quite clear that even as long ago as 1819 the notion that women have nothing to do with politics was in practice rejected by the political common-sense of Englishmen. No one doubted that women were, and ought to be, deeply interested in what concerned the political well-being of their country.
Some political antiquarians in this country have expressed their conviction that in early times when the institution of feudalism was the strongest political force in England, women exercised electoral rights in those cases where they were entitled as landowners or as freewomen of certain towns to do so. This view has been combated by other authorities, and has not been accepted in the law courts, where special emphasis has been laid on the fact that no authentic case of a woman having actually cast a vote, as of right, in a Parliamentary election can be produced. The claim that in ancient times women did exercise the franchise, whether capable of being established or not, certainly does not deserve to be dismissed as in itself absurd and incredible. I believe it has been called by some anti-suffragists "an impudent imposture," in the most approved style of the "what-I-know-not-is-not-knowledge" pedant. Whatever it may be, it is not this. In a book published in 1911, there is a passage which goes far to prove that even as late as 1807 the right of women possessing the necessary legal qualification to vote in Parliamentary elections was recognised as being in existence. One of the Spencer Stanhopes was a candidate during the general election of 1807,

DeFronzoCoverPhysiologic regulation of insulin gene expression
Glucose regulation of insulin gene transcription factors
Pdx-1 is mainly localized at the nuclear periphery at low glucose concentrations (1–2mM) in β cells, and becomes phosphorylated and shuttles into the nucleus in response to concentrations stimulating insulin secretion. Many different signaling pathways have been shown to regulate the nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling and transactivation potential of Pdx-1 under these conditions, including glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), p38/stress-activated protein kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), atypical protein kinase C isoforms, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) kinase [6]. Glucose also appears to regulate the interaction of Pdx-1 with various transcriptional coregulators. Thus, Pdx-1 is associated with the histone deacetylases HDAC-1 and HDAC-2 to downregulate insulin gene expression under low, non-insulin stimulating glucose concentrations [28]. However, the HDAC-1/2 interaction is prevented at elevated glucose levels, which promotes association with the histone acetyltransferase p300, hyperacetylation of histone H4, and insulin gene transcription [29]. In addition, SUMOylation of Pdx-1 increases its nuclear localization as well as its protein stability and is correlated with an increase in insulin promoter activity [30]. Finally, Pdx-1 contains at least two sites of O-GlcNAcylation that increase its DNA binding activity [31,32].
In addition, glucose-induced phosphorylation of NeuroD1 regulates its nuclear localization and transactivation. However, precisely how the regulation is imposed is unknown. Treatment of pancreatic β cells with the MAPK/ERK kinase inhibitor PD98059 blocks nuclear NeuroD1 translocation, conditions that also impact Pdx-1 phosphorylation and insulin gene transcription [33]. In addition, high glucose levels induce O-GlcNAcylation of NeuroD1 [34], which appears to be important for its translocation into the nucleus. Exactly how these distinct modifications control NeuroD1 activity in islet β cells in vivo still needs to be explored.
Increased MafA protein and DNA activity regulates glucose-dependent insulin gene transcription, with phosphorylation modulating insulin enhancer binding [35]. In addition, the transactivation potential of MafA is potentiated by GSK3-mediated phosphorylation within the N-terminal region which allows recruitment of the P/CAF coactivator [36]. However, precisely how phosphorylation regulates these properties of MafA remains to be determined.
Glucose regulation of insulin mRNA stability
In addition to its major effects on transcription of the insulin promoter, glucose markedly stabilizes preproinsulin mRNA. Indeed, the half-life of the message has been estimated to increase from 29 hours to 77 hours when switched from low to high glucose. Two elements located in the 3′-untranslated region of the mRNA molecule have been proposed as mediators of the glucose-stabilizing effect, the conserved UUGAA sequence and the pyrimidine-rich sequence (insPRS) [37]. Stabilization appears to involve binding of a polypyrimidine tract-binding (PTB) protein to the insPRS, as binding was induced by glucose and prevented upon mutating the core PTB binding site.
Glucose regulation of the insulin gene in vivo
Variations in the amount of insulin mRNA at any given time represent the net effect of metabolic, hormonal, and neuronal stimuli on insulin gene transcription and mRNA stability. From the in vitro effects described earlier, it is predicted that increases in blood glucose should rapidly elevate preproinsulin mRNA levels in the endocrine pancreas (due to rapid stimulation of transcription), whereas a decrease in blood glucose would be followed by a slow decline in preproinsulin mRNA levels (due to reduced transcription and the long half-life of the message). Indeed, early studies in rats showed that 4 days of starvation are necessary to detect significant decreases in preproinsulin mRNA, which returned to basal values only 6 hours after refeeding [38] or 12 hours after glucose injection [39]. The delay in the disappearance of the message upon fasting appears to be directly due to the stability of the mRNA, as insulin-induced hypoglycemia is followed by a rapid (2-hour) decrease in the level of precursors for insulin mRNA [40].
An additional level of complexity in the regulation of insulin gene expression in vivo is the potential interaction between β cells and non-β (i.e., α, δ, and PP) cells within the intact islet. Indeed, it is known that individual β cells behave differently from one another in terms of insulin secretion than in the context of the islet [41], a phenomenon which has also been demonstrated at the level of insulin gene transcription [42]. Thus, the global response measured in an entire islet represents the integration of the individual responses. This fact should be kept in mind when interpreting experiments performed in clonal cell lines, which lack the level of regulation provided by islet architecture and the neighboring non-β cells.
Regulation of insulin gene expression by glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)
GLP-1 is an incretin hormone which strongly potentiates glucose-induced insulin secretion and is the target of a number of type 2 diabetes drugs [43]. Most of the biologic effects of GLP-1 are mediated by its G protein-coupled receptor expressed on the β-cell surface [44]. GLP-1 stimulates insulin gene expression by various mechanisms. First, it directly activates the cyclic-AMP (cAMP) response element (CRE) within the 5′-proximal control sequences of the insulin gene, by a mechanism which seems at least partly independent from protein kinase A activation [45]. Second, it can augment the glucose-stimulated binding activity of Pdx-1 [46]. Third, it can stimulate transcription of the PDX-1 gene (the promoter of which also contains a CRE) [47]. Fourth, GLP-1 potentiates glucose-induced insulin gene transcription by activating NFAT (of which there are three binding sites on the rat insulin I promoter) via calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase 2B (calcineurin) activation in response to a rise in intracellular calcium [48].
Physiologic inhibitors of insulin gene expression
Several physiologic inhibitors of insulin secretion also impair expression. Epinephrine and somatostatin, two hormones acting through G protein-coupled receptors and known inhibitors of insulin release [49], also inhibit the rate of insulin gene transcription [50]. In addition, somatostatin decreases the stability of insulin mRNA [51]. Glucagon, a key hormone in the counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia in vivo, stimulates expression of the inducible cAMP early repressor, which inhibits insulin gene transcription [52]. Finally, the adipocyte-secreted hormone leptin decreases insulin gene expression [53]. Thus, physiologic modulators of insulin secretion coordinately inhibit insulin gene expression, thereby ensuring that the long-term biosynthetic rate of insulin matches the secretory demand.
Short-term regulation of insulin gene expression by insulin
Whether insulin has a functionally relevant role in the regulation of insulin transcription and biosynthesis remains a debated issue [54,55]. Based on the observation that a rapid (within minutes) transcriptional response to glucose in insulin-secreting cells was mimicked by depolarizing agents and exogenous insulin and was suppressed by inhibiting insulin release or the PI3 kinase pathway, it was proposed that insulin acts in an autocrine manner to stimulate insulin gene transcription by binding to the insulin receptor [54]. However, subsequent studies have failed to detect significant changes in preproinsulin mRNA levels upon short-term exposure to glucose and the physiologic relevance of an autocrine positive feedback on the β cell has been questioned [55].

Computers Windows
Which Version Is Better: Windows 32 Or 64?
Introduction
Before we can begin a discussion on whether Windows 64-bit will suit you better or Windows 32-bit, we should talk of what the difference between the two is – that has to be clear to you before we can go any further. Windows 64-bit and Windows 32-bit differ in how the processor will handle the data supplied to it. Windows-64 is more efficient when it comes to handling large amounts of Random Access Memory (RAM).
History
To take the discussion forward, you need to find out which version of Windows you are running, Windows 64-bit or Windows 32-bit (all of this is pretty pointless, is it not, if you are already running Windows 64-bit?).
If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, do the following:
Open System by clicking the Start button, right-clicking Computer, and then clicking on Properties. Under System, you can view the system type.
If you are using Windows XP, the steps are as follows:
Click on Start. Right-click on My Computer, and then go to Properties. If you don't see "x64 Edition" listed, then you're running the 32-bit version of Windows XP.
Features
The advantages of using Windows 64-bit Operating System are:
The maximum amount of RAM you can have on a Windows 32-bit system is 4 GB. However, Windows 64-bit is very efficient with 4 GB of RAM, and can also be upgraded to more RAM as required.
The 4 GB RAM mentioned above is what the RAM should be, in theory. However, in practice, it is only 3.12GB for Windows 32-bit. The good news is that Windows 64-bit can use all of the 4 GB.
As all the drivers that are used with Windows 64-bit are digitally signed, your system will not crash as often.
When running complex applications, such as games (especially those that we have nowadays with wild graphics and audio), Adobe Photoshop etc., Windows 64-bit is a better choice as it can process more information in a shorter time span, and also supports more RAM, as has been said above.
You can use all 32-bit software on Windows 64-bit Operating System because of good backward compatibility.
However, in some circumstances, it is better to stick with Windows 32-bit:
If you do not currently use much RAM (say, your system runs just fine with 2GB of RAM) and do not want to upgrade it, you should use Windows 32-bit rather than the Windows 64-bit version.
Your hardware like scanners or printers come with 32-bit drivers. These drivers are not supported under Windows 64-bit, so you should not consider upgrading in such a case.
Tips and comments
You need to keep in mind that to upgrade from Windows 32-bit to Windows 64-bit, you will have to back-up all your data and then un-install and re-install Windows, whether it is Windows Vista or Windows 7 that you are using. However, to upgrade from Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit, or from Windows Vista 64-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, you do not need to do that – there are easy upgradation tools available that will keep all your files and settings intact.

Problem
You have designed a web application with frontend and backend. The frontend page wishes to send an Asynchronous And JavaScript XML (AJAX) request to the backend and update a small portion of the page with the response that is text. The AJAX was introduced to make our websites look more like Desktop applications in a way that we only update a portion/ part of the page instead of refreshing the whole page and get it all updated. The request is taking place in the background of the web browser
solution
We will use the classic way for sending an HTTP request in the background. All it needs from the browser is to have JavaScript enabled. The code will be executed when we click a button and we will update the contents of the page dynamically without refreshing the whole web page.
We will have a text file named “info.txt” that will be retrieved by the request. The text file will have some raw data for now just for testing. For example:
this is a test text file
test line number 2
end
In JavaScript we have available out of the box the XMLHttpRequest object. This object along with some other ones are given by the web browser to make our lives easier. We will use this object to perform HTTP requests. Let’s create a function for loading the info file and call it loadText(). It will be as follows:
function loadText() {
const xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = this.responseText;
}
xhttp.open("GET", "info.txt");
xhttp.send();
}
The function creates the object xhttp, then it sets an anonymous function to be called on its onload event. Afterwards it opens a new HTTP GET request for the info.txt. Note that it is pointing at the localhost. And finally it’s sending it. When the request is resolved and the response is returned, the onload function will be executed and it will locate the #demo on the DOM and set its innerHTML to the responseText which is gonna be the contents of the info.txt.
Let’s create the HTML page and plug this function in a script tag and glue it with the button click.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="demo">
<h2>Simple AJAX example</h2>
<button type="button" onclick="loadText()">Load Text</button>
</div>
<script>
function loadText() {
const xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = this.responseText;
}
xhttp.open("GET", "info.txt");
xhttp.send();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Save the above as .html file e.g. ajax_example.html
Running
In order to run the code above, it requires that is served by a web server. The simple HTTP server packaged in Python will do the trick in this case but there are more tools available. Recall, for starting the web server, we change to the directory where the above HTML file is located. Also, the info.txt should be in the same directory.
Start the web server:
python3 -m http.server
Go to localhost:8000 as that’s the default port number and see the HTML page. It should show the directory and its contents:
Now, click at the .html file. The browser should show the following:
Then click the “Load Text” button and check it’s working.
It works! The info.txt is loaded on the div with id demo. The only problem is that the new lines are not shown correctly. It printed it as one line but it was saved as 3 lines in the text file. That is because is not using HTML break tags (<br/>) but simple new line feeds (\n) in ASCII format. We could have fixed that by adding some JavaScript logic and manipulate the responseText but let’s change the info file.
Updating the text file to the following will correct the new line issue:
this is a test text file<br/>
test line number 2<br/>
end
Output
Now, when the button is clicked it should show the text file as follows:
conclusion
In this post we saw a very simple example of sending an AJAX request to retrieve some text data and update the webpage on a particular part instead of the whole page. See more tutorials on JavaScript.

File:Matt Deis - CKY Bassist - Clubhouse Music Venue, Tempe, Arizona - July 21, 2009 - Crop1.JPG
Summary
This is a picture of CKY bassist Matt Deis taken by me, Sam Asaki, at the Clubhouse Music Venue, Tempe, Arizona on July 21, 2009 cropped to only include him. This should be included in the Matt Deis article. The venue is pretty small which allowed me to get up very close to the front. At this particular concert CKY played a few songs that the audience was unfamiliar with, resulting in low energy in the crowd. Deron Miller responded by having the crowd shout out what songs they wanted to hear, which worked to a certain extent, but also resulted in them starting a few songs only to stop playing after less than a minute.
