When a poor man knocks at your door and says, "I'm hungry," and your first thought is Why can't you get a job?, you've invaded his privacy. Why would you need to know why he can't get a job? He didn't come to discuss his inabilities or bad habits; he came to discuss his hunger. If you want to do something about it, feed him.

Irish poll shows majority support abortion up to 12 weeks
DUBLIN (Reuters) - A majority of Irish voters would support a proposal to allow abortion up to 12 weeks into a pregnancy in a referendum due in the coming months, the first major national poll on the question showed on Friday. The government has pledged to hold a plebiscite as soon as May to loosen some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world, but the wording of the referendum and subsequent legislation have not yet been agreed. A cross-party parliamentary committee last month recommended that the state legislate to allow terminations with no restrictions up to 12 weeks into a pregnancy, a more liberal position than some had anticipated. While the country remains overwhelmingly Catholic, public opinion has become far more socially liberal in recent years. A complete ban on abortion was only lifted in 2013 to allow terminations in cases where the mother’s life was in danger. The Irish Times/MRBI poll found that 56 percent of voters would support a change in the constitution so the government can legislate for abortion on request up to 12 weeks, with 29 percent opposed and 15 percent undecided. But it showed sharp divisions remain on the issue. While 74 percent of voters under the age of 25 were in favor of the change, only 36 percent of voters over 65 supported it. The Irish Times in an editorial about the poll said that while there had been a striking move towards liberalization of abortion in the past year, the referendum result was far from a foregone conclusion.

Have you decided that you would like to begin building muscle? Some informed tips and advice can go a long way toward guaranteeing your success. Here are some smart tips for building muscle that you can use as early as today. If you want better muscles, check them out.
Always take in enough vegetables. Avoid concentrating solely on carbs and protein; do not forget your veggies. There are a lot of important nutrients that are rare in carb- and protein-rich foods but plentiful in vegetables. In addition, they are excellent sources of fiber. Fiber allows the body to use protein effectively.

Warming up correctly is vital when it comes to increasing your muscle mass. Once your muscles are stronger they will be more prone to injury as a result of additional stress. You can prevent hurting yourself by warming up and cooling down. Prior to doing heavy lifting, spend five to maybe ten minutes exercising lightly, followed by three or four warm-up light and intermediate sets.
Building muscle will require you to eat more of a variety of foods. The amount you eat should be equivalent to you gaining around a pound of weight each week. Research healthy ways for you to add muscle mass, and if increased caloric intake does not improve your mass, then consider muscle building supplements.
Vegetarians are seldom successful in building muscle! You need to supply every pound of muscle you have with at least one gram of protein. This will allow your body to store some of that protein, and stored protein can result in increased muscle mass.
Do not overlook the importance of carbohydrates if you are attempting to build muscle. Carbs are vital for energy so that you can last an entire workout, and if you do not get enough, your body converts your stored protein for energy instead. Consume enough carbohydrates so that you can function and make it through all your workouts.
Creatine is a very popular supplement with muscle builders, but you need to use it with caution, especially if you are taking it for an extended time period. If you have any sort of problem with your kidneys, you should not take creatine. In addition, they have been known to cause muscle compartment syndrome, heart arrhythmia, and muscle cramps. People who are still growing are at the greatest risk of potential harm. Be sure you keep your creatine intake at or below suggested safety levels.
Warming up well is imperative when building muscle mass. When your muscles get stronger, they will experience a lot of additional stress that can make them prone to injury. By warming them up, injury can be prevented. Prior to serious lifting, try light exercises for around five or ten minutes, then three to four light and medium warm-ups.
On the days you have designated for muscle growth exercises, you must ensure that you eat well. Eat more calories an hour before your workout. Don’t overeat on workout days, but eat more than days that you aren’t planning on weight training.

Create the illusion that your body is larger than it is. You can do this by focusing on the higher chest, your upper back and your shoulders. Train these specific areas. If you do this, your waist will seem smaller than in reality and make you look larger overall.
Try utilizing some plyometric exercises. This is a good way to work on your fast-twitch fibers and develop your mass quicker. Plyometrics are similar to ballistic movements since they involve acceleration. For example, when you do plyometric push-ups, let your hands come off the floor, propelling your body upward.
Eating meat can help with muscle-building. Eat 1 gram of meat per pound of body weight. Your body will store more protein this way, which will help you to gain more muscle mass.
If you wish to bulk up, try to focus on doing bench presses, squatting, and dead lifting. These three exercises will help you get in shape quickly and allow you to keep building muscles. You can fill in your routine with other exercises, but these should be the foundation.
It is a simple fact of nature that some muscle groups build less rapidly than others. Including fill sets in your routine will help you to boost the results in those areas. This is a set that has about 25 reps a few days after the last workout.
When you are trying to build muscle, make sure to pay close attention to the types of calories you are consuming. There are good calories and bad; so focus on consuming healthy whole grains and lean protein along with a good quantity of fresh fruits and veggies. Making poor dietary choices may lead to fat gain, instead of muscle growth.
If you choose to supplement your muscle-building attempts with creatine, be careful, especially if you use this substance long-term. You should stay away from creatine if you have any kind of kidney problems. Creatine has also been associated with muscle cramps, heart arrhythmia and muscle compartment syndrome. Creatine should be especially avoided by the young. Read the label and make sure that you do not take more than recommended amount.
Use variety in your gripping when focusing on the back. Use either a staged or mixed grip when doing deadlifts and rack pulls, as this will help you become stronger. Staggered grips allow you to shift your bar in one direction as the underhand grip shifts it in another. This will keep the bar from sliding over your hands.
Building Muscle
When you’re building muscle, you have to be constantly conscience of what your eating. Staying hydrated is always important, but it is even more so in building muscle since up to 70% of muscle mass is water. Also steer clear of alcohol, as that is known to increase the breaking down of muscle tissues when consumed in excessive amounts.
If you are trying to build large muscles, do not attempt it while doing any form of intense cardio training. Cardio exercises are excellent for overall fitness, but intense cardio workouts will interfere with efforts to bulk up your muscles through strength training. If your goal is gaining muscle, you should do strength training more often than cardio.
To make sure that you’re eating enough protein in a given day, you need to aim to eat about 20 to 30 grams of protein in each daily meal. When you spread your protein intake out throughout the day, you can more easily reach your goals. For a goal of 180 grams, each of your six daily meals should contain at least 30 grams of protein.
Developing good technique is the most important factor in weight lifting, ahead of speed, frequency of exercise or even how much weight is used. Each particular exercise in a routine should be carefully practiced and thoroughly mastered. You should practice early using lighter weights. Once you do this, you can increase your amount of weight and maximize your results.
Prior to your workout, stretch for roughly 10 minutes. Warming up will prevent muscle injuries when you are lifting a lot of weight. Because stretching helps you avoid injury, you don’t have to worry about the time it would take for muscles to heal, which would keep you away from weights for an unknown period.
You must increase the amount of protein you eat when you embark on a muscle building program. Protein shakes or supplements are a great addition to your diet, but should not be the only source of protein you get. For best results, use them immediately after your workout and immediately before your bedtime. Consume one a day to build muscle as you lose weight. If you are attempting to increase your overall mass, though, you can have up to three servings of these products per day.
Getting serious about building muscles requires knowledge, you want to make sure you know what you’re doing before you get into it. Use these tips to build the muscles you desire successfully. Persevere, and you will see results.
Now that you are armed with the best information about workouts, you can put what you have learned to use. You know the basics; now it’s time to expand your knowledge. Soon, you can consider yourself an expert.

Virtual column in Oracle
Create a table with Virtual Column in Oracle
Virtual column is the column in the table in which the value is derived from an expression or based on calculating from other columns
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE table_name (
col_name1 datatype,
col_name2 datatype
virtual_column_name AS (expression)
);
Example:
CREATE TABLE employees(
id INT,
employee_name VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
rollno INT NOT NULL,
fee DEC(15,2) NOT NULL,
tax DEC(15,2) NOT NULL,
total_fee AS ((fee + ((fee*tax)/100)),
PRIMARY KEY(id)
);
You can also add a Virtual column later by ALTER command in Oracle:
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD (virtual_column_name AS (expression));
We can also use case statements on the Virtual column like:
ALTER TABLE students
ADD (
Grade_Marks AS (
CASE
WHEN Score between 90 and 100 THEN 'A+ Grade'
WHEN score between 75 and 89 THEN 'A Grade'
WHEN score between 74 and 60 THEN 'B Grade'
END)
)
Check table has virtual columns
select column_id, column_name, virtual_column, data_default from dba_tab_cols;

For hundreds of years women have been restricted to roles tied to the household and family, while the men have been deemed the breadwinners or sole income for the family and household. During the 1930s, the United States went through an economic crisis known as the Great Depression caused by the crash of the stock market and affected families across the country. During this time, Oklahoma, Texas, and a few surrounded states were hit by massive dust storms that swept across acres of farmland and agriculture, nicknaming this time the “Dirty Thirties”(wiki). The storms occurred because the states were experiencing a drought and the farmers were unaware of how to properly care for their land under these conditions, causing clouds of dust to surround
As previously mentioned, food prices had deflated causing farmers to not be able to make a profit off of their land. Subsequently, they would not sell the crops that they produced, which was not a lot because along with the Great Depression the Dust Bowl was also taking place. The Dust Bowl was a massive drought in the middle portion of the country, while it did not affect Alabama where the story took place, it was a detriment to many families. As a consequence of the Dust Bowl many farms produced a small amount of crop, and it contributed to the money deflation of Great
The first problem that causes unemployment is seasons, in a farmer’s case; they’re unemployed all year, except on time of good harvest. Moreover, in a teacher’s case, a teacher is unemployed during the summer vacation. It leads to poverty because there’s no stable income. In addition, being unemployed leads to lack of stable income which causes poverty. Nearly 33% of households where no-one is at work are at risk of poverty while the rate for households where two people are working is just 5% (EAPN).
Grants did give new probabilities to many poor farmers from the East as well as the Midwest. Not many laborers or farmers could afford to build a farm or get livestock, the tools for work, or even seeds for planting. In the end, most of the land went to cattlemen, miners, lumbermen, and railroad however some small farmers did acquired more land under the Homestead Act. This Act has been called the most important act for the welfare of the people that has ever been passed within the United States. Most of the land that was available was said to be in very poor condition to farm especially those areas where droughts were common issues.
The government kept on earning money. More and more African Americans settled in the south wanting to restart their life. African American didn’t have much money, clothes or food and they were in desperate search of jobs. All African Americans did their whole life was farming so that was the only thing they knew how to do well because most of them didn’t even have an education. Most of the slaves stuck to farming and did sharecropping.
The Dust Bowl was a period of time where the prairies became victim to severe dust storms that greatly damaged the agriculture. These dust storms, largely due to severe drought and wind erosion, caused many farmers in the prairies to experience extreme poverty for as long as eight years. In an effort to escape the storms, starvation, and poverty many farmers and their families left their farms to look for work and food elsewhere as a means of survival. Migrant workers on the other hand were compromised by the overwhelming number of the unemployed during the depression. Largely these migrant workers worked as migrant farm workers planting and harvesting crops, moving throughout the seasons.
They built those pyramids in really poor conditions. Even their bodies were in poor conditions. By what I mean poor conditions is Imagine you were a peasant and you were told to build a pyramid for your pharaoh If you refused you would you killed. Ok but, you are a peasant and the sun is beating down on you so hard and you only bath 1 day a week, you eat in poor conditions and you are covered in dust. Well this is how peasants were in poor conditions.
Including in the western part of California is abnormally dry due to the lack of rain and snow. It affects agricultural of state, which demand water increases every year. According to California Drought Documentary between 75-80 percent of the water goes to the agricultural. There are several ways to solve the problem in California drought. The problem of California drought can be solved by individuals making small changes into their daily life habits.
The more tradition of the american dream is marriage, But a lot of these people are living their own version of the dream. But over the years the definition of the american dream to others has become forgotten. Maybe now that the american dream we all have know long about is now out of what financial reach for an increasing number of Americans, but that will most likely take the reflection of what the american dream really means to them personally, and maybe for what our country is in the 21st
The New Deal also did nothing to assist the halt in technological advances in farming that causes many farm workers to be replaced by machines. This also contributed to unemployment being very high. Economically the New Deal was only successful to a certain extent because even though unemployment went down, and money was being deposited again these problems weren’t full fixed until the second World
It toke A out of the plans. The drought got to a lot of the states and it did not turn out good at all. The big drought toke one third of the great plans. According to 4, the drought did not cause the black blizzards. Every 25 years it will happen and it is not good.

Fortran submodule file naming
In many applications, a Fortran submodule is defined in a different file than the Fortran module that uses it. Meta-build systems such as CMake and Meson must consider that each Fortran compiler treats Fortran submodule interface file naming distinctively. Fortran module interface files are like generated header files. Fortran module files are automatically generated and generally not human-readable.
A brief taxonomy of file naming conventions for Fortran submodules follows. Assume a two-file program:
file basic.f90
module demo
real, parameter :: pi = 4.*atan(1.)
real :: tau
interface
module subroutine hello(pi,tau)
real, intent(in) :: pi
real, intent(out) :: tau
end subroutine hello
end interface
contains
end module demo
program sm
use demo
call hello(pi, tau)
print *,'pi=',pi, 'tau=', tau
end program
file basic_sub.f90
submodule (demo) hi
contains
module procedure hello
tau = 2*pi
end procedure hello
end submodule hi
The order of the commands for each compiler is significant. The module must be built before the submodule, to generate the necessary module interface files BEFORE compiling the submodule. Each compiler creates corresponding basic.o and basic_sub.o object files.
1. gfortran -c basic.90 creates files: basic.o demo.mod demo.smod.
2. gfortran -c basic_sub.f90 -o basic_sub.o creates files: basic_sub.o demo@hi.smod.
3. gfortran basic.o basic_sub.o -o basic creates executable basic
Here is a table of the module interface files generated by each compiler. “module” are the files generated by step #1, building the file containing the Fortran module. “submodule” are the files generated by step #2, building the containing the Fortran submodule.
Compilermodule filessubmodule files
GCC gfortrandemo.mod demo.smoddemo@hi.smod
LLVM flangdemo.moddemo-hi.mod

Baishatun Mazu Pilgrimage
The Baishatun Mazu Pilgrimage is usually held annually between lunar January and April in the western plains of Taiwan, a major Taoist religious event since 1863. After every lunar new year, the Mazu statue of Gongtian Temple at Baishatun, Tongxiao of Miaoli County, is placed in a palanquin and carried in procession to visit another Mazu Temple- Chaotian Temple, located in the area of Beigang of Yunlin County, then returns to Gongtian Temple to end this pilgrimage. The distance covered is approximately 400 km total.
There is another Mazu statue, called "Mazu of the Mountain Side ", from Houlong Township of Miaoli county, that would accompany Baishatun Mazu during the pilgrimage as well.
Feature
Mazu, also spelled as "Matsu", known as a sea goddess who blesses the fishermen with a safe journey during sailing, is widely revered by believers in Taiwan because of her merciful image. Therefore, the Mazu pilgrimage is one of the popular religious activities in Taiwan.
During the whole pilgrimage, Mazu's palanquin carriers go forward only on foot. Many pilgrims would follow the steps of Mazu's palanquin, traditionally following by walking, but regardless, plenty of the pilgrims would travel by scooter, car, or bicycle. Moreover, the duration and route of Baishatun pilgrimage are not the same in different years, such as 6 days and 5 nights in 2009, versus 12 days and 11 nights in 2017.
The most unique feature of the Baishatun pilgrimage is the route. No matter how it departs or returns, the route is unpredictable, and changes each time. Supposedly, Mazu's palanquin carriers stated that they held the ability to feel Mazu's will, and that she indicated to them the next direction or where to stop while they were walking. However, pilgrims only know the start point and destination. Therefore, people regard the Baishatun Mazu pilgrimage as the most challenging pilgrimage in Taiwan.

Aloiampelos decumbens, formerly Aloe decumbens, the Langeberg rambling-aloe, is a sprawling, succulent plant that is endemic to the fynbos vegetation of the Langeberg Mountains near Swellendam and Riversdale in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Description
This plant is decumbent - as its name suggests - and its long, thin branches sprawl for up to 1 meter along the ground and over the rocky outcrops where it grows.
Its bright scarlet flowers appear on and off throughout the year, regardless of season, though usually in January and December. The individual flowers are brightly coloured and large like those of A. ciliaris. However they appear only very sparsely on the relatively small, thin inflorescence. They also share the long, slender perianth of A. gracilis - not A. ciliaris's green-tinted and constricted opening to the perianth.
Natural distribution
Aloiampelos decumbens survives in small, isolated pockets growing in coarse sandstone sands, on cliffs and steep slopes in the Langeberg mountain range of the Western Cape, South Africa. Of the eight isolated sub-populations, one exists as far west as the vicinity of Swellendam, and one population is protected in the Boosmansbos Wilderness Area.
It is possible that further undiscovered populations survive in the remote and inaccessible Cape Fold mountains.
Taxonomy
This plant is sometimes described as being merely an isolated subspecies of Aloiampelos gracilis which occurs much further east in the area around Port Elizabeth. Aloiampelos decumbens is also clearly a close relative of Aloiampelos juddii which similarly occurs only in an isolated pocket of fynbos vegetation, further west near Cape Agulhas. However, among other key differences, Aloiampelos decumbens is a much thinner and more decumbent species.

Splunk Search
props deployed on SHCluster but no extractions

Hi, A bit of a strange one that I can't workout. I have a deployer server and a search head in one DC and 2 searchheads in another DC. They are all part of the searchhead cluster and all share the same configs. My problem is that the searchhead app has been deployed to all the searchheads. The 2 searchheads located in the same DC have the app and correct configs, but don't perform any field extractions. Interestingly, if I open an event and select extract field, the parser sees the fields? The searchhead on its own performs as expected. I can see no errors. Running btool confirms the file is also correct.
It's the first time I've ever come across this.
TIA
Steve

Hi, It looks like some weird file permission issue. Although everything in /opt/splunk is readable by splunk, it still couldn't see props.conf. Which of course makes no sense when the working searchhead has the exact same perms and works without issue. On one of the affected search heads, I did a chmod -R 755 on /opt/splunk/etc/apps/* and it started working immediately on both affected servers??? Very strange.
I'll mark this as resolved 🙂
Thanks
Steve

Hi @cdstealer , could you please share your props? Also, can you check using below query on SH that your extractions shows up ?
| rest splunk_server=local servicesNS/nobody/<your-app_name>/configs/conf-props/
| rex field=id "servicesNS\/nobody\/(?<app>.+?)\/"
| where app="<your-app_name>"
| fields - eai:* SEGMENTATION*
| fields id,title, sourcetype, updated, disabled *, FIELDALIAS-*

OK, I fixed the field extractions by converting to indextime rather than searchtime. However, any searchtime functions eg calculated fields are still being ignored by the 2 searchheads. I'll keep digging.

But I'm really interested to hear what was the issue when you have fixed it 😉

Hi Soutamo, We don't run a multisite due to its scale and function. So I have the deployer and a search head in one location and then 2 search heads in the other location. These are then setup behind a load balancer which will fail to the single searchhead should the primary location fail.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Purveyance
PURVEYANCE (Lat. providere, to provide), in England in former times the right of the sovereign when travelling through the country to receive food and drink and maintenance generally from his subjects for himself and his retinue. The custom dates from Anglo-Saxon times and is analogous to the right of fodrum, or annona militaris, exercised by the Frankish kings. Although in early times purveyance was reasonable and necessary, enabling the king to make journeys for the purpose of administering justice and discharging the other duties of government, it was liable to grave abuses, and under the later Plantagenet kings it became very oppressive. Provision for the royal needs was interpreted in the widest possible sense, and the right was exercised, not only on behalf of the king, but on behalf of his relatives. Besides victuals it included the compulsory use of horses and carts and even the enforcement of personal labour. Not infrequently no payment was made; when it was it often took the form of tallies, which gave the recipient the right to deduct the amount from any taxes he might have to pay in the future. Purveyors were appointed to requisition goods, and they also fixed the price. The abuses of purveyance, which appear to have reached their climax during the reign of Edward I., frequently provoked legislation. Chapter xxviii. of Magna Carta is directed against them, while further attempts to curb them were made in the Statute of Westminster of 1275 and in the Articuli super cartas of 1306. Purveyance was entirely forbidden by the ordinance of 1311, but in spite of all prohibitions its evils grew and flourished. During the reign of Edward III. ten statutes were directed against it, and by a law of 1362 it was restricted to the personal wants of the king and queen; at the same time the hated name of purveyor was changed to that of buyer, and ready money was ordered to be paid for the articles taken. From this time little was heard about the evils of purveyance until 1604, when the House of Commons petitioned James I., giving some striking illustrations of its hardships. It was asserted that when the royal officials required 200 carts they ordered 800 or 900 to be brought, in order that they might obtain bribes from the owners. Bacon called purveyance “ the most common and general abuse of all others in the kingdom.” Twice James entered into negotiations with his parliament for commuting his crown rights, of which purveyance was one, for an annual payment, but no arrangement was reached. In 1660, however, the right of purveyance, which had fallen into disuse with the execution of Charles I., was surrendered by Charles II. in return for the grant of an excise on beer and liquors. The custom was exercised by almost all European \sovereigns, and in France at least was as oppressive as in England. The word purveyor now means merely a vendor, generally a vendor of food and drink.
See W. Stubbs, Constitutional History of England (1896), vol. ii.; H. Hallam, Constitutional History of England (1863); and S. R. Gardiner, History of England (1905), vol. i.

, white beach ran for a quarter of a mile from a rocky promontory to a point covered with trees. Here and there, through the fringe of pine woods, houses, white and red, thrust their gables; the windows of these caught the blaze of the afternoon sun that was now withdrawing inland. But the beach was so wide that the shadows from the woods had not yet reached and dulled the bright crowd assembled on the sand. People had gathered from all along this part of the Massachusetts shore to see the Chester Water Carnival.
Out upon the raft, fifty yards from shore, a diving-tower was built, tall and slender. The boy who was the first to climb it knelt for a moment when he reached the top. Then, having steadied himself, he rose and stood erect. The sun glistened kindly on his yellow hair, on his wet arms raised above his head; as he stood straight and still, he formed the last mark against sea and sky, and he had a gracefully heroic quality, which appealed to the women and girls. The other boys upon the raft looked up at him; everybody looked at him.
With a spring so light that no one quite recognized the movement with which it was made, he shot out through the air, arching with a perfect curve the space from tower to sea. Slim as a greyhound in the leap, he cut the water gently and then rose to the surface in time to hear the pattering applause.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Erwin Walsh
The originator of this RfC should have posted a subpage. They have not done this. I think that I could instead delete the link. I will instead do them a favor and create the subpage. I am not endorsing the complaint, and have no idea what it is. I will wait for about 24 hours. If the proper page is not created, then I will assume that this is another bad-faith RfC. Robert McClenon 03:16, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
* I don't know who filed the previous RfC. I filed this one without even knowing about that one. Acetic Acid 05:46, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
* I attempted making a RfC, so possibly me. After spending six hours trying to work out the relevant policies, and searching through to document all of the relevant diffs, my computer crashed. At that point, I got fed up, and went to bed. Work got much busier, and my spare time went away, so I never got back to trying it again. Tonight I have insomnia, so I checked back on it. Glad someone did it. Abb3w 06:25, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
Highly suspect
Does this bad faith RFC even meet the requirements?
Once the request for comment is open, these two people must document their individual efforts, provide evidence that those efforts have failed to produce change, and sign the comment page.
Acetic Acid made no such efforts before launching this highly biassed and unhelpful personal attack, thus he/she is in no position to certify any dispute. Erwin Walsh
* I posted a message on your talk page, urging you to watch your language. You removed it. Acetic Acid 00:47, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
Removal of link from main RFC page
Just wanted to mention that Erwin Walsh removed the link to this RFC from the main WP:RFC page. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:14, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
* Thank you for bringing that up. This is further evidence that Erwin is unwilling to cooperate. I wonder if that counts as vandalism. Acetic Acid 20:31, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
* I wonder what your IQ is...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Erwin Walsh (talk • contribs) 21:01, August 26, 2005

Personal page of VFD nominations
Actually, this is something I do too, at User:Sjakkalle/Vfd. I don't do this to keep a "trophy cabinet", but it has been useful sometimes as a way of catching recreations of deleted material. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:13, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
* I'm not really against it. I just wanted to list it to show his overeagerness to nominate articles. The first edit he ever made was a VFD nomination. Acetic Acid 06:35, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
* The first edit he ever made as a user who knows he may have been spending time editing here and there as an anon IP user before he made the leap to register. --ElvisThePrince 11:48, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
* True, but still. He has made it known that his Wikimission is to delete articles. Acetic Acid 20:11, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
* What do you know? Oh, right, nothing. Erwin
* We only know what we read in the newspaper Wikipedia. =) Abb3w 01:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Marginal Improvement Appearing
Erwin seems to have begun to moderate his behavior somewhat. After my latest attempt to neutral-POV edit his "Vacation" claim, rather than a complete reversion (as has been his usual wont), he has simply added a " " signed request for me to "Troll off back where you came from." While a trifle truculent, it is mild by my standards of internet flames, and more importantly was not a revert without comment to the original notice. He has at least temporarily slowed his massive deletion campaign, presuming he is not continuing to do so from sock puppet accounts. While he has yet to make a formal response himself, on the RfC, he has at least signed off (albeit without the indicated formal timestamped signature) on an outside comment.
While I strongly believe he ought to begin archiving of his old talk comments as seems standard practice, rather than deleting them outright without response, this is a marked improvement in his level of civility towards such comments. Not to say that level is much better than a surly teenager... but he might have the partial excuse of being a surly teenager. Abb3w 01:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
* It's still unacceptable behavior. Look at this . His comments on VfDs have not improved much. Acetic ' Acid 18:58, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
* His comments elsewhere have not improved either: - that's after I reverted this incredibly innapropriate statement once before. Hipocrite - « Talk » 16:46, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
* I'll conceed that Erwin's behavior is something that I feel ought not be considered acceptable. However, I'm not an experienced enough Wikipedian to feel authoritative in judging it (or the User Page he put up) a serious violation of the Civility policy. I've also spent too many years hanging with the SCA to consider levels of expected civility to be a universal social norm. Still, he's neither Emily Post nor Miss Manners.
* I'll also note that Acetic Acid's citation above is prior to Erwin getting thwacked by an admin, after which he seems a smidgin more restrained. Hipocrite's citation is better evidence of an ongoing problem, occuring after the thwack. Furthermore, Erwin went and reverted the talk page back again (well, almost; his leaving the "New Policy" changed to "Personal Policy" indicates he's at least subconciously considering phrasing suggestions). It looks like the next thing to try is putting and {(dubious}} tags on it, resulting in the creation of a meta-talk page to handle that. But I'm hesitant to do that without checking with an admin, as at least one admin has already removed a tag as inappropriate for a talk page... not to mention the idea of a User_talk_talk page striking me as borderline insane. Asking for Mediation or Arbitration over a talk page seems almost as bad... although there are larger issues and, unfortunately, this seems the next logical step after this RfC. The most appropriate thing to do at this point, IMHO, would be for an admin to place a block on Erwin's account that expires 15:17, 13 October 2005... thereby making his WikiVacation claim become true (although whether he then goes to Bermuda would be up to him). But as poetic (if not Solomonic) a resolution as this would be, I'm not an admin. =) Abb3w 19:07, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
* Don't try and portray that incident as admins agreeing with your twisted version of events. The block was a mistake, which is why it was reversed after an exchange of emails. Erwin
* On the contrary, the Admin has made it clear that he intended to block your account. The mistake that he made was when he tried to unblock your account and got confused with a sockpuppet account it appears you created. --Gorgonzilla 14:14, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
. This is blockable behavior. Hipocrite - « Talk » 01:33, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
* See [] for an example of blockable behaviour. Erwin
* Could you be more specific? Explodicle 00:01, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
* Well, it would be difficult to be less specific, anyway. While the pseudonym "Hipocrite" isn't overly assuring of the character of the individual behind it, anyone a user hasn't personally pissed off yet is unlikely to be inclined to do an item-by-item examination of said user's entire contribution history. A timestamp or two and/or an article title would be helpful. Abb3w 16:51, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
* The moniker "Hipocrite," which I have been using since someone called me a "Hipocrite who can't spell," is merely a moniker that makes me laugh. I'm laughing now just thinking about when I picked it up. Hipocrite - « Talk » 15:46, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
NPOV
The list of applicable policies include "NPOV". None of the evidence shows (or even mentions) NPOV violations. Either some evidence needs to be provided that applies to NPOV, or an explanation should be provided to show how the current evidence applies to NPOV, or "NPOV" should be removed from the list of applicable policies. FuelWagon 15:55, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
* Possibly but Walsh should not be removing the tag himself, or for that matter altering any part of the Rfc that is describing the behavior complained about. --Gorgonzilla 17:32, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
* No, Walsh should not be doing it, but the certifiers should. FuelWagon 19:55, 5 September 2005 (UTC)\
* Removing it seems less appropriate than the certifiers striking it out, or perhaps adding to the supporting evidence in the complaint (from items existing prior to the initial complaint), noting when (and that) said evidence was added. Or should it be added to "Evidence of misconduct after the opening of this RfC"? A non-standard seperate section of "Supplemental evidence?" I'm not sure. They should aim for transparancy, however they do it. Abb3w 22:12, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
* It's time I addressed this. I put the NPOV tag up because I felt his comments on VFDs were rather POV. There were really personal attacks on the topic, which is odd, so I thought WP:NPOV summed it up best. It's probably a stretch to call it that, so if anyone still wants it removed, let me know. Acetic ' Acid 03:55, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Moved from RFC
Abb3w is correct - I should not have requested clarification on the RFC page. I have moved said request and it's followup here:
* To be clear, then, you believe that this was a bad faith RFC, but that you have "been guilty of not being civil?" You believe that all of the people who signed the initial RFC were "their friends," and that they solicited all of the other endorsers? Hipocrite - « Talk » 18:45, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
* Pathetic. Erwin
* Thank you for finally providing a response. Just to let you know, I don't know half of the people who endorsed the summary I wrote. Acetic ' Acid 01:40, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

In Ancient Egypt, there was a pharaoh named Ptolemy XII. This pharaoh was the father of Cleopatra. Ptolemy XII died, and the kingdom passed to Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII. The ideas of Cleopatra and her brother about running the ancient egypt were very different. For this reason, Ptolemy XIII expelled his sister Cleopatra from the palace. Cleopatra was exiled to Syria.
The Roman emperor Julius Caesar came to Egypt in order to achieve peace between the siblings. Cleopatra believed that the support of Rome was necessary for her. She aimed to meet Caesar before her brother and get closer to him.
She got into a rug and sneaked into Caesar’s room with the servants. She managed to impress Caesar with his courage. She even married with Caesar and had a son. With the support of Rome, Cleopatra regained the sovereignty of Egypt. After that her brother fled the country and drowned in the waters of the Nile.
Cleopatra married with her other brother Ptolemy XIV. At that time, she gave birth to a boy named Caesarion, and for a while ruled Egypt with her young son.
After the death of Caesar, the Roman Empire decoupled between Octavian and Marcus Antonius. The East was ruled by Marcus Antonius.
Marcus Antonius had heard a lot about Cleopatra and wanted to meet her. Cleopatra appeared in front of Marcus Antonius in a golden ship, with jewels all over her. They had fallen in love at first sight of each other. They had three children and the love they had for each other continued throughout their lives.
During the years when Antony and Cleopatra were living in Tarsus, they made war on Octavius. In the battle at Aktium, Cleopatra and Marcus were forced to flee. There is rumor about that Cleopatra, who returned to her palace in Alexandria, committed suicide by poisoning herself with cobra.
Cleopatra was only 39 when she died.
When Cleopatra died, the empire ended with her. The last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt was Cleopatra.

Charley Boorman
Charley Boorman (born 23 August 1966) is a British television presenter, travel writer and actor. A motorbike enthusiast, Boorman has made three long-distance motorcycle rides with his friend Ewan McGregor, documented in Long Way Round (2004), Long Way Down (2007), and Long Way Up (2020).
Early life and background
Born in Wimbledon, London, Boorman spent much of his formative years in County Wicklow, Ireland. Boorman is the son of German costume designer Christel Kruse and film director Sir John Boorman. Lee Marvin, a lifelong friend of his father, was Charley's godfather.
Boorman attended three schools in Ireland: St Gerard's School (Bray, County Wicklow) and St Oliver Plunkett Primary School (Monkstown, County Dublin), both Roman Catholic schools, the latter a school dedicated to teaching children with dyslexia. He also attended the German-language medium school, St Kilian's Deutsche Schule (Dublin). In England, he went on to attend Sibford School, a Quaker school near Banbury, Oxfordshire (from 1980 to 1983).
Marriage
He and his wife Olivia have two daughters and live in London.
Acting career
At an early age, Boorman started appearing in films directed by his father. His first role was in Deliverance (1972).
In 1981 Boorman played a young Mordred in Excalibur, and was joined by his older sister Katrine Boorman who played Ygraine, Mordred's grandmother. In in 1985 played a leading role in The Emerald Forest. In 1987 he had a non-speaking role in Hope and Glory as a young German Luftwaffe pilot parachuting into wartime London, having been shot down; his sister Katrine also appeared in the film.
His further acting appearances include The Serpent's Kiss (1997), on which he met Ewan McGregor, and The Bunker (2001).
Theatre show
In 2007, Boorman appeared on stage in Newcastle upon Tyne at the Tyne Theatre. The 'evening with' style show then went on a tour around the UK and Ireland in 2010. Around this time Boorman revealed he had testicular cancer. Caught early, he had a testicle removed and has since been a supporter of Movember. Boorman was given the all-clear, but continued telling audiences across the country about his ordeal, encouraging more men to be aware and get checked out early if there was any concern. In 2011, the Charley Boorman Live show toured the UK and Ireland again, following a similar format to the first tour but without support acts.
Boorman also began promoting African Adventures, which are commercial 17-day BMW motorcycle trips across Africa. Taking 50 riders from Cape Town to Victoria Falls, Boorman used various technologies to help promote the trip, including a GPS satellite tracking device allowing people to follow the trip day by day.
Charity work
Boorman has supported the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) since 2004, carrying out a number of visits to UNICEF projects, which have been noted in his television programmes Long Way Round, Long Way Down and By Any Means. In 2009, Boorman was made president of Dyslexia Action; he is dyslexic. Boorman has been on many visits to Dyslexia Action's regional centres and was involved in the charity's appeal "It's ME!". He also supported its school initiative "P4L" (Partnership for Literacy). Boorman participated in a live web chat for the charity where he answered questions about his dyslexia and his various adventures.
In 2009, Boorman went to Helmand Province, Afghanistan and visited troops. Kandahar and Bastion were the two key camps he visited, just before Christmas.
In February 2014 and November 2016 Boorman presented Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Awards at St James's Palace, on behalf of The Duke of Edinburgh.
Accident
Boorman was involved in a serious accident test riding a motorbike with journalists in Portugal in 2016. Boorman broke both legs after colliding with a wall while avoiding a car that pulled out in front of him. He then broke his hip riding a Vespa while still in recovery. After a period reliant on a wheelchair, Boorman is back riding, but now walks with a limp as his left leg is 1 cm shorter than his right after operations to repair the breaks.
Long Way Round
In 2004, Ewan McGregor and Boorman undertook an international motorcycle journey from London to New York, riding east across Europe, Asia, and North America. This was recorded for a popular television series and book. Critical responses were mixed, with one noting 'Boorman comes across as a copper-bottomed, ocean-going, 24-carat prick.'
Race to Dakar
Along with producer Russ Malkin (from Long Way Round) and a motorbike team, Boorman competed in the 2006 Dakar Rally in January 2006. The event was filmed and the series Race to Dakar began on Sky2 in the United Kingdom in October 2006. During the rally Boorman was injured and was forced to retire from the race after five days.
Long Way Down
In 2007, he took another journey with McGregor: Long Way Down, a trip from John o' Groats in Scotland, to Cape Town, South Africa. This was televised on BBC2 starting in October 2007.
By Any Means
In 2008, Boorman produced By Any Means, which started in his hometown in County Wicklow, ending in Sydney. He set out to complete the journey "by any means", using local transport appropriate to the area being travelled, and using air travel only when necessary.
Right to the Edge: Sydney to Tokyo By Any Means
In 2009, Boorman undertook a journey titled Right to the Edge: Sydney to Tokyo By Any Means, travelling from Sydney to Tokyo via the Pacific Rim. The programme documenting this trip has been shown on BBC2.
World's Most Dangerous Roads: Alaska
Boorman appeared with Sue Perkins in Series 1 of the BBC TV series World's Most Dangerous Roads: Alaska, shown in 2011, in which they drove the Dalton Highway.
Charley Boorman's Extreme Frontiers
In 2011, Boorman presented a prime-time adventure series for Channel 5, Charley Boorman's Extreme Frontiers. This show was another collaboration between Boorman and producer-director Russ Malkin, who made frequent on-screen appearances. Extreme Frontiers claimed to 'take in all four extremities of Canada'. Accompanying the show was book and DVD.
From 9 June to 22 July 2012, Boorman and his team journeyed around South Africa on two motorbikes and a 4-wheel vehicle.
Charley Boorman USA Adventure
Boorman and Malkin returned on Channel 5 at the end of 2013 for his next trip, which was in the US. Starting in Hawaii, he moves to Alaska, then to the Eastern seaboard and down to the Southern states, inland to the Gulf of Mexico, up again to the Rockies and finishing on the Pacific Coast at Los Angeles
Long Way Up
Boorman and McGregor travelled in 2019 from Ushuaia in Argentina through South and Central America to Los Angeles in the United States on electric Harley-Davidson LiveWire motorbikes.
Motorbike TV
In 2022 Boorman began presenting Motorbike TV, a motorcycle magazine entertainment show for Motorsport.TV.

Py2neo -- how to fix circular references?
py2neo
(Brendan Foley) #1
We are trying to build a full OGM for a Python/Flask based backend which uses Neo4j.
The problem I am running into is with the RelatedTo and RelatedFrom parts of Py2neo.ogm framework.
Naturally, if my graph has a structure like (a)-[:LINKS_TO]->(b) I would want OGM properties:
class a(GraphObject):
links_to = RelatedTo(b, "HAS")
class b(GraphObject):
linked_to = RelatedFrom(a, "HAS")
Note: I have used the objects a and b here not 'a' and 'b'. When I switch to using quotes it does not seem to retrieve the GraphObjects at all.
This causes Python to freak out with the circular dependencies since a is referencing b before it is defined.
I have not found a way to "forward declare" classes in Python like you can in some other languages.
This must be an extremely common situation in Py2neo, how are others solving it?

Rhythm Pharmaceuticals’ IMCIVREE Gets FDA Stamp of Approval; Stifel Boosts Price Target
Rhythm Pharmaceuticals (RYTM) announced on November 27 that the FDA has approved IMCIVREE (setmelanotide) for chronic weight management in adult and pediatric patients age 6 years or older with obesity caused by proopiomelanocortin (POMC), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) or leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency, confirmed by genetic testing. In response, shares closed 21% higher on Friday.
This approval, which is supported by results from the largest studies conducted to-date in obesity due to POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR deficiency, makes IMCIVREE the first weight management therapy to be approved by the FDA for these rare genetic diseases.
“Our first new drug approval is a major milestone for Rhythm, and we look forward to delivering on the promise of IMCIVREE for patients suffering with obesity due to POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR deficiency,” Rhythm’s Chair, President and CEO David Meeker commented. “With IMCIVREE, we are advancing a first-in-class, precision medicine that is designed to directly address the underlying cause of obesities driven by genetic deficits in the melanocortin-4 (MC4) receptor pathway.”
In Phase 3 clinical trials, 80% of patients with obesity due to POMC or PCSK1 deficiency and 45.5% of patients with obesity due to LEPR deficiency witnessed more than a 10% weight loss after one year of treatment, and the therapy was generally well-tolerated.
Along with the approval, the FDA gave Rhythm a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV), which can be used to receive priority review for any subsequent marketing application or sold or transferred to other companies for their programs.
Covering the stock for Stifel, analyst Derek Archila bumped up the price target to $37 (26% upside potential) from $36 and reiterated a Buy rating after the news broke. He expects the product to be launched in Q1 2021, but acknowledges that “this won't be a traditional launch or sales ramp given the small size of POMC/LEPR indications.”
However, Archila points out that the approved FDA label is a “bit broader in terms of patient population than Street's base case but more importantly, certain label language suggests to us that RYTM and the FDA appear to be somewhat aligned on using a run-in period to identify IMCIVREE responders which we think could bode well for the allowance of a future Phase 3 basket trial.” He noted, “We believe the allowance of such a trial will meaningfully increase the TAM for IMCIVREE and represents an underappreciated catalyst for the stock in 2021.”
The rest of the Street is in agreement, as RYTM boasts a unanimous Strong Buy analyst consensus based on 5 Buy ratings. At $37.80, the average price target implies 29% upside potential. (See Rhythm stock analysis on TipRanks)

Resumo
The standard (p{ring operator} = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation in the condensed state of chromanone, dihydrocoumarin, and 3-isochromanone were derived from the standard molar energies of combustion in oxygen at T = 298.15 K, measured by combustion calorimetry. Calvet microcalorimetry was used to derive the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation and vaporization. {A table is presented}. From these values the standard molar enthalpies in the gaseous phase, at T = 298.15 K, were derived. Additionally estimates were performed of the enthalpies of formation of all the studied compounds in gas-phase, using DFT and other more accurate correlated calculations, together with appropriate isodesmic or homodesmic reactions. There is a reasonable agreement between computational and experimental results.

I am running out of time to complete the assignment for this week. I wish I could go back in time to when this class first stated.
I am inserting this statement as quoted from The Ultimate Collection of Best Time Quotes for Inspiration and Mindfulness.
"We kill time. We save time. We rob and get robbed of time, we lose time, and we have all the time in the world. But no one of us is powerful enough to stop the march of time or slow it down."

These are Scott Murray's D3 tutorials (see originals), updated to D3 v7. A note on the updates.
The power of data()
We left off with a simple bar chart, drawn with divs and generated from our simple data set.
Simple bar chart
This is great, but real-world data never looks like this. Let’s modify our data.
Bar chart
We’re not limited to five data points, of course. Let’s add more!
Bar chart
25 data points instead of five! How does D3 automatically expand our chart as needed?
Give data() ten values, and it will loop through ten times. Give it one million values, and it will loop through one million times. (Just be patient.)
That is the power of data() — being smart enough to loop through the full length of whatever data set you throw at it, executing each method below it in the chain, while updating the context in which each method operates, so d always refers to the current datum at that point in the loop.
That may be a mouthful, and if it all doesn’t make sense yet, it will soon. I encourage you to save the source code from the sample HTML pages above, tweak the dataset values, and note how the bar chart changes.
Remember, the data is driving the visualization — not the other way around.
Random Data
Sometimes it’s fun to generate random data values, for testing purposes or pure geekiness. That’s just what I’ve done here. Notice how each time you reload the page, the bars render differently.
Bar chart with random values Bar chart with random values Bar chart with random values
View the source, and you’ll see this code:
This code doesn’t use any D3 methods; it’s just JavaScript. Without going into too much detail, this code:
1. Creates an empty array called dataset.
2. Initiates a for loop, which is executed 25 times.
3. Each time, it generates a new random number with a value between zero and 30.
4. That new number is appended to the dataset array. (push() is an array method that appends a new value to the end of an array.)
Just for kicks, open up the JavaScript console and enter console.log(dataset). You should see the full array of 25 randomized data values.
Random values in console
Notice that they are all decimal or floating point values (14.793717765714973), not whole numbers or integers (14) like we used initially. For this example, decimal values are fine, but if you ever need whole numbers, you can use JavaScript’s Math.round() method. For example, you could wrap the random number generator from this line
as follows:
Try it out here, and use the console to verify that the numbers have indeed been rounded to integers:
Random integer values in console
Next we’ll expand our visual possibilities with SVG.

TY - JOUR T1 - Methods for Assaying Complexes between Acridine Orange and Deoxyribonucleic Acid JF - Molecular Pharmacology JO - Mol Pharmacol SP - 327 LP - 332 VL - 3 IS - 4 AU - RIVA, SILVANO C. AU - SILVESTRI, L. G. AU - HILL, L. R. Y1 - 1967/07/01 UR - http://molpharm.aspetjournals.org/content/3/4/327.abstract N2 - In acridine orange—DNA complexes (AO-DNA), the weak (external) complex can be distinguished from the strong (intercalated) one by hot dialysis and by fluorescence spectra. It has been found that the weak complex dissociates at low temperatures (<Tm) whereas the strong complex dissociates only during DNA denaturation. Hot dialysis was carried out at temperatures T such that 50° < T < T* (T* = temperature at which the melting starts), thus retaining only the intercalated complex. Subsequent Tm determinations of the strong complex yielded a value of (bound dye/nucleotide) saturation ratio (rsat) of about 0.11. Fluorescence spectra, excited by UV, of AO-DNA (native) and AO-DNA (denatured) complexes indicate that the peak at 515 mµ is due to the strong complex and the peak at 620 mµ to the weak complex. The intensity of the 515 mµ peak reaches a maximum at a value of rsat of about 0.11. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks are expressed to Professor E. Testa (Lepetit Corp.) for purifying the acridine orange, and to Professors P. Caldirola and R. Fieschi for allowing us to use some of their instruments. Miss A. Uggé and Miss M. Berti gave very valuable technical assistance. Work supported by Assegnazione No. 04/130/ 5/1298 of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. ER -

Glen Carberry
Glen Michael "Judge" Carberry (April 10, 1896 – February 19, 1976), sometimes listed as Glenn Carberry, was an American football player.
Early years, military, and college
A native of Ames, Iowa, he played college football for Notre Dame and was captain of the 1922 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team.
He also served in the infantry in World War I, attained the rank of lieutenant. After 11 months of service in France, he was injured in the explosion of an ammunition dump and was hospitalized for three weeks. He suffered a shattered ear drum.
Professional football
He also played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) as an end for the Buffalo All-Americans in 1923, the Buffalo Bisons in 1924, and the Cleveland Bulldogs in 1925. He was selected by Guy Chamberlin to the 1923 All-Pro Team.
Coaching career
Carberry was the head coach of the St. Bonaventure football team in 1924 and 1925. He then joined Jim Crowley's staff at Michigan Agricultural, serving as line coach. When Crowley moved to Fordham in 1933, Carberry followed and served as Fordham's line coach. At Fordham, Carberry helped developed the offensive line that became known as the Seven Blocks of Granite.
Later years
After retiring from football, Carberry worked as an attorney for the Veterans Administration in New York. He retired in 1965. He died from respiratory failure in 1976 at age 79.

Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/meh₂ḱ-
Latin mactos
Latin is currently claimed by both this root, and by the PIE adjective. Is this an inconsistency, or is *meǵh₂- somehow related to meh₂ḱ-? The page for mactus itself claims that it is derived from *meǵh₂-. --Caoimhin (talk) 18:19, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
* Still doubted. But I ask could not Latin magnus simply be from *mh₂ḱnós instead of some weird *m̥ǵh₂nós? These two roots much seem of the ḱ-ǵ kind...and its corruption or misinterpretation must be in that stray h₂. -GuitarDudeness (talk) 12:49, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Parsing Data Automatically
After you have highlighted some text on the Design tab, you can parse the following types of data:
Parse Columnar Data: Parses the columnar data in the selected text using the Column Separator value defined in the Configuration tab. This option splits a line of text into multiple data fields. A best line recognition pattern is derived from the selected text to identify the line style. Fields parsed using this option are of fixed start and end column. You can later edit the line style and column indices based on the requirement. This option currently supports only single line text selection.
If there is no obvious pattern for the Extract Editor to automatically create a line style, a message appears indicating that the Extract Editor cannot create the line style.
Parse Tagged Data: Parses the tagged data in the selected text using the Tag Separator value defined in the Configuration tab. This option splits a line of text into a line recognition pattern and a data field of fixed start and end columns. You can select any number of lines in the Text Viewer and use this option to automatically create line styles and data fields.

[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Remoting problem: object as param not passed
lcoetzee do-not-reply at jboss.com
Thu Jan 25 07:04:30 EST 2007
Hi,
I am playing around with the Seam remoting. I am playing with the helloworld seam application:
I am attempting to pass a seam object (JavaBean) from the browser to the backend. When invoking the method with the parameter, the method is called, but the object is not populated with any values.
In short I have the following:
1. The Javabean:
@Name("person")
| public class Person implements Serializable{
|
| Integer id;
| String name;
| String surname;
| //with getters and setters
| }
2. The method definition in the interface (HelloLocal):
| @WebRemote
| public void setPerson(String value, Person person);
|
3. The implementation (HelloAction):
| public void setPerson(String value, Person person) {
| System.out.println("Received value: " + value);
|
| System.out.println("Received from xhtml page " + person.getName() + " " + person.getSurname());
| }
4. My Javascript being called in the xhtml:
| function sayHello() {
| var p = Seam.Component.newInstance("person");
| p.setId(15);
| p.setName("from");
| p.setSurname("sayHello");
| Seam.Component.getInstance("helloAction").setPerson("from sayhello", p);
| }
When I invoke the sayHello javascript I see the following in the debug window:
| Thu Jan 25 2007 13:44:32 GMT+0200 (SAST): Request packet:
| <envelope><header><context></context></header><body><call component="helloAction" method="setPerson" id="1">
| <params><param><str>dummyvalue</str></param><param><ref id="0"/></param></params><refs><ref id="0"><bean type="person">
| <member name="id"><number>15</number></member>
| <member name="name"><str>from</str></member>
| <member name="surname"><str>sayHello</str></member>
| </bean></ref></refs></call></body></envelope>
which is the correct values passed to the backend. Unfortunately the person object is not populated, while the string value is sent correctly. The result:
| 3:57:37,988 INFO [STDOUT] Received value: from sayhello
| 13:57:37,990 INFO [STDOUT] Received from xhtml page null null
|
Any suggestions as to why I am not able to send an object as paramter to the server? Interestingly enough I am able to send a person object (created on the backend and returned with "public Person getPerson()" ) to the javascript.
Thanks
Louis

A semantic-based search engine for clinical data would be a substantial aid for hospitals to provide support for clinical practitioners. Since electronic medical records of patients contain a variety of information, there is a need to extract meaningful patterns from the Patient Medical Records (PMR). The proposed work matches patients to relevant clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) by matching their medical records with the CPGs. However in both PMR and CPG, the information pertaining to symptoms, diseases, diagnosis procedures and medicines is not structured and there is a need to pre-process and index the information in a meaningful way. In order to reduce manual effort to match to the clinical guidelines, this work automatically extracts the clinical guidelines from the PDF documents using a set of regular expression rules and indexes them with a multi-field index using Lucene. We have attempted a multi-field Lucene search and ontology-based advanced search, where the PMR is mapped to SNOMED core subset to find the important concepts. We found that the ontology-based search engine gave more meaningful results for specific queries when compared to term based search.

Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma: Clinical and Correlative Phase II Study
Phase 2
18 Years
N/A
Open (Enrolling)
Both
Multiple Myeloma
Thank you
Trial Information
Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma: Clinical and Correlative Phase II Study
Background:
- Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell neoplasm with a median survival of
3-4 years.
- Novel agent combinations with proteasome inhibitors demonstrate improved response rates
while increasing survival in MM patients.
- A common debilitating side effect of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib is neuropathy.
- Carfilzomib is a new proteasome inhibitor with potent anti-MM effects and decreased
peripheral neuropathy
Objectives:
- Primary Objectives
--Evaluate toxicity, including peripheral neuropathy, of carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and
dexamethasone (CRd) in untreated MM patients
- Secondary Objectives
- Evaluate progression free survival and overall response rate after 8 cycles24 of
CRd combination therapy
- Evaluate duration of response and overall survival of CRd combination therapy
- Evaluate biological activity of carfilzomib and correlate to clinical outcomes
Eligibility:
- Newly diagnosed patients with histologically confirmed multiple myeloma
- Age greater than or equal to 18 years
- Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) greater than or equal to 60 ml/min. CrCl will be calculated
using the Cockcroft- Gault method. If the calculated CrCl based on Cockcroft-Gault
method is < 60 mL/min, patient will have a 24 hr urine collection to measure CrCl. The
measured CrCl must also be greater than or equal to 60 ml/min.
- Without serious co-morbidity that would interfere with receipt of CRd
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1.0 K/uL, hemoglobin greater
than or equal to 8 g/dL, and platelet count greater than or equal to 75 K/uL
- Adequate hepatic function, with bilirubin less than 1.5 x the ULN, and AST and ALT less
than 3.0 x ULN
Design:
- Single arm, single stage phase II trial of combination therapy (carfilzomib,
lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) for untreated multiple myeloma patients with an early
stopping rule for toxicity
- Patients will receive 8 cycles of induction combination therapy of CRd
- Each cycle consists of 28-days
- After 4 cycles of therapy, transplant eligible patients will undergo stem cell
collection
- Patients achieving stable disease or better after 8 cycles of CRd will receive
lenalidomide extended dosing (phase I) for 12 cycles. After 12 cycles, patients will
have the option to continue extended dosing (phase II) for one additional year.
- Patients will have routine blood work with SPEP and free light chains monthly
- Pre- and post-treatment bone marrow biopsies will be obtained for confirmation of
diagnosis and correlative studies
- Patients will also undergo evaluation for minimal residual disease at regular interval
time points, using multi-parametric flow cytometry and FDG PET-CT
- A single stage phase II design will be employed, with an early stopping rule. Unless 4
or more patients in the first 20 have Grade 3 or higher neurologic toxicity in the
first 2 completed cycles, a total of 45 evaluable patients will be enrolled in this
study.
Inclusion Criteria
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Newly diagnosed patients with histologically confirmed MM based on the following
criteria:
1. Clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow
2. Measurable disease within the past 4 weeks defined by any one of the following:
1. Serum monoclonal protein greater than or equal to 1.0 g/dL
2. Urine monoclonal protein greater than200 mg/24 hour
3. Serum immunoglobulin free light chain greater than 10 mg/dL AND abnormal
kappa/lambda ratio
3. Evidence of underlying end organ damage attributed to underlying plasma cell
proliferative disorder meeting at least one of the following:
1. Hypercalcemia: serum calcium greater than or equal to 2.65 mmol/L

3. Anemia: hemoglobin value less than10 g/dL or 2 g/dL less than normal
reference
4. Bone disease: lytic lesions, severe osteopenia or pathological fractures
- Creatinine Clearance greater than or equal to 60 ml/min. CrCl will be calculated by
Cockcroft-Gault method. CrCl (calculated) = (140 - Age) x Mass (in kilograms) x [0.85
if Female] 72 times Serum Creatinine (in mg/dL). If calculated CrCl based on
Cockcroft-Gault method is < 60 mL/min, patient will have a 24 hr urine collection to
measure CrCl. The measured CrCl msut be also greater than or equal to 60 ml/min.
- Age greater than or equal to 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are
currently available on the use of carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide in
patients less than18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be
eligible for future pediatric trials.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1.0 K/uL, hemoglobin greater
than or equal to 8 g/dL (transfusions are permissible), and platelet count greater

thromboprophylactic strategies: aspirin, low molecular weight heparin or warfarin
(coumadin).
- All study participants must be registered into the mandatory RevAssist(Registered
Trademark) program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of
RevAssist(Registered Trademark).
- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine
pregnancy test within 10 - 14 days and again within 24 hours prior to prescribing
lenalidomide for Cycle 1 (prescriptions must be filled within 7 days) and must either
commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable
methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective
method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide. FCBP
must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a latex condom
during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy.
- Subjects must be able to give informed consent
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Prior or concurrent systemic treatment for MM.
- Treatment of hypercalcemia or spinal cord compression or aggressively
progressing myeloma with corticosteroids is permitted.
- Bisphosphonates are permitted.
- Treatment with corticosteroids for indications other than MM is permitted.
- Radiotherapy is permitted.
- Treatment for smoldering myeloma is permitted.
- Plasma cell leukemia
- Pregnant or lactating females. Because there is a potential risk for adverse events
in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with carfilzomib in
combination with lenalidomide, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is
treated with carfilzomib and lenalidomide. These potential risks may also apply to
other agents used in this study.
- Uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes
- Active hepatitis B or C infection
- Has significant cardiovascular disease with NYHA Class III or IV symptoms, or

Проверка даты на основе массива Laravel after_or_equal несколько дат?
Я импортирую файл Excel в коллекции с помощью пакета laravel-excel. Я пытаюсь проверить поле даты reporting_date так, чтобы это after_or_equal два других поля даты registered_date и analysis_date. Только с одним полем даты after_or_equal все это работает нормально. Я динамически заполняю правила и массив пользовательских сообщений. Правила применяются правильно, но у меня проблема с переопределением сообщения по умолчанию пользовательским сообщением для этой конкретной проверки, и вместо этого отображается сообщение по умолчанию.
public function collection(Collection $rows)
{
$data = $rows->toArray();
$rules = [Some static rules defined];
$messages = [];
foreach ($data as $key => $val){
/*Adding [complex/]conditional rules and messages.*/

if(!empty($val['reporting_date'])){
$rules = array_merge($rules, [$key.'.reporting_date' => ['sometimes', 'nullable', 'date', 'after_or_equal:'.$key.'.registered_date,', 'after_or_equal:'.$key.'.analysis_date']]);
$messages["$key.reporting_date.date"] = "Error on row: <strong>".($key+2)."</strong>. The reporting_date <strong>".(Arr::exists($val, "reporting_date")?$val['reporting_date']:"").
"</strong> is not a valid date.";
/****These messages are not overriding the default message.****/
$messages["$key.reporting_date.after_or_equal.$key.registered_date"] = "Error on row: <strong>".($key+2)."</strong>. The reporting_date <strong>".(Arr::exists($val, "reporting_date")?$val['reporting_date']:"").

Чтобы указать настраиваемое сообщение об ошибке только для определенного атрибута, вы сначала указываете имя атрибута, а затем правило:

$messages = [
'email.required' => 'We need to know your email address!',
];
Поэтому мне пришлось проверить, 0.reporting_date равно after_or_equal 0.registered_date и 0.analysis_date. У меня были такие правила, как:
"0.reporting_date" => array:5 [▼
0 => "sometimes"
1 => "nullable"
2 => "date"
3 => "after_or_equal:0.registered_date,"
4 => "after_or_equal:0.analysis_date"
]
Когда одна из проверок after_or_equal не удалась, я мог переопределить такие сообщения, как
0.reporting_date.after_or_equal => "custom message"
Но когда оба after_or_equal:0.registered_date и after_or_equal:0.analysis_date потерпели неудачу, я подумал, что можно написать собственные сообщения для отдельных случаев, как показано ниже, что было бы идеально.
"0.reporting_date.after_or_equal.0.registered_date" => "custom message1"
"0.reporting_date.after_or_equal.0.analysis_date" => "custom message2"
Но это не сработало, и мне пришлось немного взломать, вручную сравнив даты и затем добавив оба сообщения, которые решили проблему.
if(!(Carbon::parse(0.reporting_date)->gte(Carbon::parse(0.registered_date)) && Carbon::parse(0.reporting_date)->gte(Carbon::parse(0.analysis_date)))){
0.reporting_date.after_or_equal => "custom message1"."custom message2"
}
Хотелось бы посмотреть, есть ли другие подходы получше.

• Article: Role of bicarbonate as a pH buffer and electron sink in microbial dechlorination of chloroethenes.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Buffering to achieve pH control is crucial for successful trichloroethene (TCE) anaerobic bioremediation. Bicarbonate (HCO3-) is the natural buffer in groundwater and the buffer of choice in the laboratory and at contaminated sites undergoing biological treatment with organohalide respiring microorganisms. However, HCO3- also serves as the electron acceptor for hydrogenotrophic methanogens and hydrogenotrophic homoacetogens, two microbial groups competing with organohalide respirers for hydrogen (H2). We studied the effect of HCO3- as a buffering agent and the effect of HCO3--consuming reactions in a range of concentrations (2.5-30 mM) with an initial pH of 7.5 in H2-fed TCE reductively dechlorinating communities containing Dehalococcoides, hydrogenotrophic methanogens, and hydrogenotrophic homoacetogens. RESULTS: Rate differences in TCE dechlorination were observed as a result of added varying HCO3- concentrations due to H2-fed electrons channeled towards methanogenesis and homoacetogenesis and pH increases (up to 8.7) from biological HCO3- consumption. Significantly faster dechlorination rates were noted at all HCO3- concentrations tested when the pH buffering was improved by providing 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) as an additional buffer. Electron balances and quantitative PCR revealed that methanogenesis was the main electron sink when the initial HCO3- concentrations were 2.5 and 5 mM, while homoacetogenesis was the dominant process and sink when 10 and 30 mM HCO3- were provided initially. CONCLUSIONS: Our study reveals that HCO3- is an important variable for bioremediation of chloroethenes as it has a prominent role as an electron acceptor for methanogenesis and homoacetogenesis. It also illustrates the changes in rates and extent of reductive dechlorination resulting from the combined effect of electron donor competition stimulated by HCO3- and the changes in pH exerted by methanogens and homoacetogens.

• Article: Development and characterization of DehaloR^2, a novel anaerobic microbial consortium performing rapid dechlorination of TCE to ethene.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel anaerobic consortium, named DehaloR^2, that performs rapid and complete reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) to ethene is described. DehaloR^2 was developed from estuarine sediment from the Back River of the Chesapeake Bay and has been stably maintained in the laboratory for over 2 years. Initial sediment microcosms showed incomplete reduction of TCE to DCE with a ratio of trans- to cis- isomers of 1.67. However, complete reduction to ethene was achieved within 10 days after transfer of the consortium to sediment-free media and was accompanied by a shift to cis-DCE as the prevailing intermediate metabolite. The microbial community shifted from dominance of the Proteobacterial phylum in the sediment to Firmicutes and Chloroflexi in DehaloR^2, containing the genera Acetobacterium, Clostridium, and the dechlorinators Dehalococcoides. Also present were Spirochaetes, possible acetogens, and Geobacter which encompass previously described dechlorinators. Rates of TCE to ethene reductive dechlorination reached 2.83 mM Cl- d(-1) in batch bottles with a Dehalococcoides sp. density of 1.54E+11 gene copies per liter, comparing favorably to other enrichment cultures described in the literature and identifying DehaloR^2 as a promising consortium for use in bioremediation of chlorinated ethene-impacted environments.

Dorothea Du Bois
Lady Dorothea Du Bois (1728–1774) was an Irish poet, autobiographer and musical dramatist, whose claims on her father's estate were never met.
Life
Du Bois was the eldest daughter of Richard Annesley, afterwards sixth earl of Anglesey, and Ann Simpson, daughter of a wealthy merchant of Dublin. She was born in Dublin in 1728, one year after her father had become Lord Altham. In 1737 he succeeded to the earldom. Dorothea was educated at boarding schools in Dublin.
At this time, the earl made provision for his countess and her children, assigning £10,000 a year to Dorothea, but about 1740 he repudiated his marriage, declared his children illegitimate, and turned them all out of doors. An action brought by the Countess in 1741 resulted in an interim order for a payment by the earl of £4 per week; however, this payment was never made, and the ladies suffered the greatest distress. About 1752, Dorothea secretly married Du Bois, a French musician, and became the mother of six children.
In 1759 she heard that her father had made a will leaving her five shillings, in quit of all demands, as his natural daughter; in 1760, on recovery from the birth of her sixth child, she undertook a journey to Camolin Park, Wexford, where he was lying ill, to induce him to acknowledge his marriage to her mother. She was repulsed with much indignity by the woman then claiming to be the earl's wife.
In 1761 the earl died, his estates devolving on the son of the wife in possession. Lady Dorothea then laid the whole story before the world in Poems by a Lady of Quality, which she dedicated to the king, and published by subscription at Dublin in 1764. In 1765 her mother died. In 1766 Dorothea published The Case of Ann, Countess of Anglesey, lately Deceased, appealing for help to prosecute her claims; with the same object she issued Theodora, a novel, in two volumes in 1770, dedicated to the Countess of Hertford. A writer in the Critical Review commented "as the ground-work of this novel has appeared lately in most of the news-papers, we think it needless to relate again the [Anglesey] story with fictitious names".
In 1771 she published The Divorce, a musical entertainment sung at Marylebone Gardens in 1772; and The Haunted Grove, another musical entertainment by her, not printed, was acted at Dublin. About 1772 she brought out The Lady's Polite Secretary, preceded by a Short English Grammar. Meanwhile, the Anglesey estates were subject to lawsuits from various sides, but none of them benefited Lady Dorothea.
She died in poverty in Grafton Street, Dublin, of an apoplectic fit, early in 1774.

Ah, if the motivation is performance, I would like to see benchmark
results :-) I understand that an AST optimizer would help to produce
more efficient bytecode, right?
> reduce memory usage,
I noticed an issue with the peephole optimizer: the constant folding
step keeps original constants. Moving constant folding to the AST
stage fixes this issue by design.
> and quicker startup time for real world applications.
You mean faster import time on precompiled .pyc files, right? It's
related to the hypothetical faster bytecode.
> If some optimization in FAT optimizer has significant speedup, I want to try it.
See http://fatoptimizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/microbenchmarks.html#microbench
FYI it took me something like 2 months to build FAT Python
"infrastructure": fix CPython bugs, design guards, design the AST
optimizer, write unit tests, etc. I didn't spend much time on
efficient optimizations. But for my first rule was to not break the
CPython test suite! Not break the Python semantics, otherwise it would
be impossible to put enable the optimizer by default in CPython, which
is my long term goal.

Talk:List of Navtex stations
Comments
I moved this list from Navtex. It's too much detail for that article.
Without passing on whether WP should have this list, I think the list should be a single sortable list rather than several lists. There should be nav area field, owner, and a frequency field. The freq assignments (international, national, HF) can be explained in text. The position field should contain a coord rather than two text fields; presumably, one could click on the coord and see the antenna.
For example, position can be given as:
* DMS: 48.41406°N, -4.78806°W
* DEC: 48.41406°N, -4.78806°W
Try
* 31.19809°N, 29.86449°W

Davis Theater
The Davis Theater, originally known as the Pershing Theater, is a first run movie theater located in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago. Built in 1918, the theater has operated in different capacities in its history, showing silent films, German-language films, and various forms of stage performance. In 1999, the Davis was planned to be demolished to build residential condos, but the plans were cancelled in part due to a negative response from the community. It is one of the few operating neighborhood movie theaters in Chicago. Its building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
History
The Pershing Theater was built in 1918 and was named after First World War General of the Armies, John J. Pershing. It is the only remaining theater of five built in Lincoln Square, and one of the few neighborhood theaters still operating in Chicago. The building was designed by architect Walter W. Ahlschlager, who was also responsible for the design of other famous buildings such as the Uptown Broadway Building in Chicago and the Roxy Theater in New York City. The Pershing opened showing silent films, its first being The Forbidden City and later Pals First. In the 1930s, the Pershing was converted to show talkies at a cost of approximately $10,000 and was renamed the Davis Theater.
The Pershing had some involvement in The Case of the Ragged Stranger, an infamous Chicago murder case of the early 1920s. Carl Wanderer and Ruth Johnson, husband and wife, left the theater shortly before Johnson was murdered. Although the murder was initially pinned on a stranger dressed in ragged clothing, an investigation revealed new evidence that suggested that Wanderer was, in fact, guilty of the murder. Wanderer was ultimately convicted and executed.
Starting in the 1952, the theater attempted to appeal to the cultural influences in the neighborhood by showing German-language films in addition to American films. The theater eventually transformed to a German film house, even acting as host for the Chicago International Film Festival in 1972 where they opened with Signs of Life. The Davis continued to show German films through the end of the decade. The theater then transitioned to showing a variety of entertainment including puppet shows, second run films, and revivals through the 1970s. In 1979, a plan to revitalize the theater by modernizing it and concentrating on movie revivals was supported by film critic and Chicago resident Gene Siskel, but it was unsuccessful within months.
In June 1980, the Davis hosted the Chicago International Film Festival's Dance Film Festival, which featured a week-long showcase of dance-themed films such as Divine Madness and Non-Stop Astaire, the latter of which was a collection of film dance routines featuring Fred Astaire with other notable dancers such as Judy Garland and Ginger Rogers.
In January 2016, the theater was closed for renovation and brought back to life in its current state as a historical landmark and community center for cinema and the arts. The architecture firm for the renovation was Kennedy Mann. In 2018, they were awarded the Award for Rehabilitation by Landmarks Illinois.
Planned demolition
In October 1999, the Davis was put up for sale at an asking price of $1.6M with the description, "This ornate theater is waiting to be developed into a shopping mall". The realtor, Edward Vanek, showed the property to several interested developers who considered turning the complex into condominiums, a mall, or even a theater with food and liquor services. The Davis was eventually sold to developer Jim Jaeger later that year, who was rumored to be planning its demolition and replacement with residential housing.
Soon after, a "Save the Davis" campaign was organized to prevent the theater's demolition, and included a community meeting at the Conrad Sulzer Regional Library, where over 500 people voiced opposition to the demolition of the theater. Participants in the meeting argued that demolishing the building would be a historical loss and expressed frustration that useful small businesses had been lost to the community in order to build more residential units. The campaign was supported by alderman Eugene Schulter, who refused to rezone the property to accommodate the redevelopment plans.
The property was bid on in December 1999, and acquired by a non-profit, Davis Theater Preservation Corporation, headed by community resident Mary Edsey. The property was sold to Special Real Estate Services in 2000, and thereafter the theater began to show first run films once again.
Present operations
The Davis Theater is currently operated as a first run theater, containing four screens. It also occasionally shows second runs of older films. It is owned by the Value Theater Corporation, which specializes in maintaining smaller movie theaters in the United States. It was renovated to replace its film projectors with digital film. The Davis participated in the Chicago International Children's Film Festival in 2008.

Treatment
Robotic-Assisted Lung Lobectomy
At Siteman Cancer Center, some lung cancer patients have the option to undergo minimally invasive, robotic-assisted lung lobectomies. A lobectomy is a procedure to remove a diseased or cancerous lobe of the lung. During a robotic-assisted lobectomy, the surgeon uses robotic technology to do this.
The robot is actually a system of four mechanical arms that manipulate the surgical instruments controlled by the surgeon. It acts as a helper and a tool that allows the surgeon to work delicately inside the body.
Because robotic tools enable surgeons to perform complex procedures in tight spaces, robotic-assisted surgery is conducted through a number of small incisions, rather than a single large one. This means that patients who receive robotic-assisted lobectomies also tend to leave the hospital earlier, recover faster, and experience less pain than patients treated with traditional, open procedures. Your physicians will let you know if a robotic lobectomy is right for you.
The thoracic surgeons at Siteman are unparalleled in our region for the breadth and depth of their experience. They perform 150 lobectomies a year and use minimally invasive techniques, including robotic assistance, whenever possible. This winning combination of experience and technology keeps our patients safe and leads to successful outcomes.
How is the procedure done?
First, several small incisions are made in the patient’s chest. The incisions are usually less than an inch long, although one may be slightly bigger to remove the lung tissue at the end of the procedure. The robotic arms are guided into these incisions.
Then, the surgeon sits down at a special console where he or she conducts the procedure. The console is equipped with a screen and controls shaped like actual surgical instruments. Using a camera, the robotic arms transmit 3-D images from inside the body to the screen, so the surgeon can zoom in on tiny features of organs and tissues with far greater accuracy than the human eye. Such enhanced visibility lowers the risk of complications.
The robotic arms can move as flexibly as the human hand and wrist, and the surgeon manipulates them from the console by moving the controls.
There are a number of other medical professionals in the operating room in addition to the lead surgeon. A second surgeon stands at the patient’s bedside, monitoring the patient and assisting the lead surgeon. The room is also staffed with trained operating room nurses, as well as a nurse who specializes in working with robotic technology.
After the surgery, patients tend to recover more quickly than they do following traditional, open lobectomies. The robotic tools do not disrupt the muscles of the chest wall or the ribs, which can lead to less pain following the procedure. Because the operation has a lower impact on the body, patients can usually have their chest tubes removed earlier. Hospital stays are typically shorter: patients who undergo open lobectomies usually leave the hospital after five days, while patients who receive minimally-invasive or robotic procedures leave after four days or less.
What are the benefits of a robotic-assisted lobectomy?
Robotic-assisted lobectomies often enhance a patient’s comfort and well-being. Common benefits include:
• Fewer days in the hospital
• A shorter recovery time
• Less pain
• Minimized blood loss
• A lower risk of complications
Robotic technology has also allowed patients who otherwise might not have been eligible for a minimally-invasive procedure to receive one.
In addition, there is some evidence that robotic lobectomies may have a positive impact on overall patient outcomes. The technology can visualize the inside of the body to a greater degree than the human eye, which helps physicians remove more lymph nodes and stage a patient’s cancer more accurately. This can lead to more precise and effective treatments.
Which patients are good candidates for the procedure?
Patients tend to be eligible for a robotic-assisted lobectomy if their tumor is located near the outside of their lung and is not attached to blood vessels. Tumors attached to blood vessels are more safely removed with open procedures.
What are the risks of a robotic-assisted lobectomy?
A robotic-assisted lobectomy is less risky than an open lobectomy, but there are still a few complications that patients should be aware of, such as:
• Blood loss
• Infection
• Trouble breathing
• Collapsed lung
There’s also a chance that surgeons might have to transition from a minimally-invasive robotic procedure to an open procedure mid-operation, depending on what they find. Our surgeons will only switch to an open procedure if it is the best and safest option for the patient.
Why should I have a robotic-assisted lobectomy at Siteman Cancer Center?
At Siteman Cancer Center, we have some of the best lung surgeons in the nation. A robot is only as good as the surgeon controlling it, and our surgeons are renowned for their skill, expertise, and good judgment. Other facilities may offer robotic technology in the operating room, but they are not staffed by Siteman surgeons.

Le Roi des montagnes
The Le Roi des montagnes ("The king of the mountains") is a French-language novel published in 1857 by Edmond About. A film adaptation starring Lucile Saint-Simon and Claude Rollet was released in 1962.
Summary
A young German botanist fresh out of the University is sent to Greece by the Hamburg Botanical Garden to study flora. In search of rare plants, he met two English women, a mother and her daughter, on the road that leads to the Parnitha. All three are abducted by a band of brigands led by Hatzistavros, "the king of the mountains", known for his cruelty. Given the refusal of the old English lady to pay the ransom, the botanist, loving the daughter, try several times to escape. The narrator presents a vivid account of brigandry and corruption mid- 18th century Athens. The westerner's colonial glance is evident in the book.

Timeline of Tyne Tees Television
This is a timeline of the history of the British broadcaster Tyne Tees Television (now known as ITV Tyne Tees). It provides the ITV service for the North East of England.
1950s
* 1957
* 12 December – A local consortium, headed by Sir Richard Pease that included film producer Sydney Box and News Chronicle executives George and Alfred Black, sees off ten other applicants when it is awarded the licence to broadcast an ITV service to north east England. It is chosen due to its strong local links, commitment to local programming, concentrating on regional topical matters, and educational and children's programmes.
* 1958
* October – After the Independent Television Authority (ITA) had considered the original name, "North East England", to be too imprecise and after some of the consortium's suggestions were rejected: "Three Rivers Television" for being obscure, and "Tyne, Wear, and Tees" for being too long, the name "Tyne Tees" is announced.
* 1959
* 15 January – At 5pm, Tyne Tees Television launches.
* News Chronicle launches listings magazine The Viewer. It was produced to satisfy " 'Tyne Tees' policy to be most regional of all the independent stations".
1960s
* 1960
* No events.
* 1961
* No events.
* 1962
* 27 June – Tyne Tees receives significant criticism in the 1962 Pilkington Report. Some companies, historian Simon Cherry notes, were scrambling "very readily for the lowest common denominator ... Tyne Tees was notorious for avoiding minority programmes and putting out cop shows or westerns instead."
* 1963
* Production of The Viewer is taken over by Dickens Press.
* 1964
* March – The final edition of Tyne Tees' lunchtime variety programme The One O'Clock Show is broadcast. Consequently, Tyne Tees no longer transmits at lunchtime, and does not do so again until 1972.
* 30 March – Tyne Tees introduces a nightly regional news programme called North East Newsview. Previously, regional news had consisted of short bulletins and a weekly Friday night programme called North East Roundabout.
* Tyne Tees is given a three-year extension to its licence. This is later extended by a further year.
* 1965
* No events.
* 1966
* No events.
* 1967
* The Independent Television Authority renews Tyne Tees' licence for a further seven years.
* 1968
* August – A technicians strike forces ITV off the air for several weeks although management manage to launch a temporary ITV Emergency National Service with no regional variations.
* September – The final issue of Tyne Tees’ listings magazine The Viewer is published. From the following week, listings are carried in the magazine TV Times after the ITA had stipulated that all ITV companies publish their listings in the TV Times.
* 1969
* Tyne Tees’ regional news programme is renamed Today at Six.
* Tyne Tees begins broadcasting in UHF and does so from the Pontop Pike transmitting station. It continues to radiate 405-lines transmissions to the northern part of its region from the Burnhope transmitting station until the 405-line system is switched off at the start of 1985.
1970s
* 1970
* 17 July — Tyne Tees Television starts broadcasting in colour.
* 21 August – Yorkshire Television and Tyne Tees Television announce plans to merge when the two are brought under the control of a new holding company, Trident Television Limited, to deal with the problem of fairly allocating commercial airtime from a television transmitter at Bilsdale in North Yorkshire which straddled the catchment areas of two Independent Television (ITV) companies. the new holding company would sell airtime in both television regions with each company retaining its own separate identity and management control.
* 1971
* 15 April – The Bilsdale transmitting station, which had originally been intended for Yorkshire Television, begins transmitting Tyne Tees in colour to County Durham and the northernmost parts of Yorkshire.
* 1972
* 16 October – Following a law change which removed all restrictions on broadcasting hours, ITV is able to launch an afternoon service.
* 1973
* No events.
* 1974
* A reverse takeover of both Tyne Tees and Yorkshire is performed by Trident but plans to rename the stations 'Trident Yorkshire' and 'Trident Tyne-Tees' were vetoed by the Independent Broadcasting Authority.
* 1975
* No events.
* 1976
* 6 September – Northern Life replaces Today at Six as Tyne Tees’ regional news programme.

* 1 February – ITV’s breakfast television service TV-am launches. Consequently, Tyne Tees Television’s broadcast day now begins at 9:25 am and the channel no longer starts its day with a religious programme, apart from on Sundays.
* 24 June – A Midsummer Night's Tube, a special five-hour edition of The Tube, airs live from 8pm to 1am on Channel 4. A second edition is broadcast a year later.
* Tyne Tees launches two sub-regional news programmes as part a commitment in the 1980 contract round. An opt-out is used from the main bulletin that would feature news from each area. The company also introduced localised non-news programming for the two sub-regions, including the nightly Epilogues.
* 1984
* No events.
* 1985
* 3 January – The last day of transmission using the 405-lines system, and consequently the final day that Tyne Tees broadcasts from the Burnhope transmitting station.
* 16 August – The station is off the air all day (from 9:25am) due to industrial action. “The Big Tube”, a live peak-time Tyne Tees production due to be screened on Channel 4, is postponed and subsequently cancelled, and no commercials are shown on Channel 4 in the Tyne Tees region.

* 1988
* 5 April - The final edition of The Roxy airs in various timeslots across several ITV regions, marking the end of music TV production at Tyne Tees.
* 1 September – Tyne Tees broadcasts an end of day Epilogue for the final time, having done so since the station went on air 29 years earlier.

* 5 October –
* Following the merger, Yorkshire simulcasts its overnight service on Tyne Tees and relaunches it as Nightshift.
* A new logo is introduced.
* Tyne Tees' regional news programme Northern Life is replaced by Tyne Tees Today.
* 1993
* 1 January – Following their merger, Yorkshire and Tyne Tees start to broadcast all regional programmes simultaneously, affecting programming that had been shown at different paces in different regions. Most of the regional programming was produced by Yorkshire and broadcast across the two stations, an area that the ITC considered too broad to be of local interest.
* 31 March – Network North launches, providing the south of the region with its own regional news magazine. It is available to viewers served by the Bilsdale transmitter. Tyne Tees Today therefore becomes the name of the north of the region programme for those served by the Pontop Pike and Chatton transmitters.
* September - Yorkshire Television's transmission control centre in Leeds takes over Tyne Tees' playout operations. Local continuity from Newcastle is maintained during most of the channel's broadcast hours.
* 1994

[Rails] How to temporarily save the request URL of a user who is not logged in and return to that URL after logging in
The title is long. Here is a summary of friendly forwarding.
What is Friendly Forwarding?
It's a kind of process like "The page you requested, the page after login, but you haven't logged in yet. I'll guide you to the page you wanted to go to after logging in." Kind design that you often see. It's fine.
How do you make it?
The general flow is as follows.
1. Temporarily save the requested URL
2. Skip to the login screen and confirm your login
3. Revert to the requested URL
Method definition
Prepare a method (1) for temporarily saving the request and a method (3) for returning to the temporarily saved URL. This time, in sessions_helper.rb, write as follows.
helpers/sessions_helper.rb
# 1.Temporarily save the requested URL
def store_location
session[:forwarding_url] = request.original_url if request.get?
end
# 3.Revert to the requested URL
def redirect_back_or(default)
redirect_to(session[:forwarding_url] || default)
session.delete(:forwarding_url)
end
Save the requested URL (request.original_url) as session [: forwarding_url] in 1. ʻIf request.get?` limits the request type to GET actions only.
3 is the process to return to the temporarily saved URL or to return to the URL specified as the default. Even if the URL does not exist||After that, the URL set in default can be entered. Also, if you keep the session information, it will be read and strange at the next login, so the URL temporarily saved with session.delete (: forwarding_url) on the second line in the method Delete.
Temporarily save the requested URL + login confirmation
Call store_location to temporarily store the URL you are trying to access. Here, I will write it together with the description to check if the logged-in user is below private of ʻusers_controller.rb`.
users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController
before_action :user_login_required
・
・
・
private
def user_login_required
unless logged_in? #When not logged in
store_location #Temporarily save the URL here!
flash[:danger] = "Please login" #Show flash message
redirect_to login_url #Forced to send to login page
end
end
Revert to the requested URL
Use redirect_back_or (default) to specify the transition destination after login. It is OK if you write the following in the place where the login process is performed.
controllers/sessions_controller.rb
def create
user = User.find_by(email: params[:session][:email].downcase)
if user && user.authenticate(params[:session][:password])
log_in user
params[:session][:remember_me] == '1' ? remember(user) : forget(user)
flash[:success] = "You are now logged"
#Specify the redirect destination below. default uses user here, but user_Can be written like url
redirect_back_or user
else
flash.now[:danger] = 'I failed to login'
render 'new'
end
end
This completes the implementation! If you dare to log in after deporting from an existing URL, you will be taken to that URL. Thank you for your support.
at the end
As mentioned above, I tried to reorganize each role in my own way so that it is easy to understand at a glance. I hope you find it helpful.
I referred to the following for implementation. Thank you very much.

A Packet of Letters
OME, Milly, be reasonable,” the extremely good-looking young man implored.
The exceedingly pretty young woman—pretty in spite of the paint—smiled coldly into the mirror and put the finishing touch to her left eyebrow. “Reasonable from your point of view,” she remarked, laying down the pencil. “You must think me an absurdly obliging sort of person, Mr. Leslie.”
“But you can't deny that a thousand pounds is a very decent—in fact, a most magnificent—offer for a couple of dozen of old letters.”
“Twenty-seven, Mr. Leslie.”
“Well—er—that works out at—er—nearly fifty pounds apiece.”
“What a head you have for figures!”
He laughed in spite of himself. “It's nothing to my eye,” he said, with a glance of admiration.
The girl shrugged her bare shoulders. Then, suddenly, she turned and faced him. “I don't want Sir Richard Harmer's money,” she said, and taking a cigarette from the dressing-table, she lit it methodically, and lay back in the rickety chair, crossing the exquisite ankles that were no small part of her fortune. “You understand, Mr. Leslie, I don't want his money.”
The words “Then what on earth do you want?” rose to his lips, but he did not—could not—utter them. Yet they would have been justifiable enough, he thought, a trifle sulky under this, his latest, defeat.
“For the last three weeks,” she continued calmly, “you have been making me offers for your friend's letters. From two hundred pounds you have advanced to a thousand. To-morrow you will offer—”
“I assure you, Miss Lexington,” he stiffly interrupted, “that this is the absolute limit—”
“So glad you realize that much,” she remarked flippantly. “I think I have been exceedingly patient.” A boy's voice in the passage was singing out “Third act beginners,” and she added: “I have to be on the stage in four minutes. Wouldn't you like to go now?”
“Milly, for Heaven's sake be generous. You know I loathe this business—”
“I almost believe you do,” she said, not unkindly, “and I'll admit that you have done your best for your friend. You may tell him so, with my compliments.”
“But—but what are you going to do with Dicky's letters?”
“Keep them and c-cry over them.” The sob was so perfectly done that for an instant he thought it genuine. He flushed when her eyes told him his mistake. “Whose affair is it, what I do with them?” she demanded sharply.
“I beg your pardon,” he stammered, “but don't you feel a little mean? After all, you can't deny that you refused to marry Dicky when he asked you.”
“Did I? I was under the impression that I asked him to think it over for six months and let me do the same.”
Leslie's color deepened further. His friend's version had been somewhat different, and yet he could not disbelieve the girl's. “I'm sure Dicky never regarded it as a formal engagement,” he said in his struggling loyalty.
“I don't think I mentioned the word engagement. Did I?”
“I don't understand you.... Look here, Milly, tell me honestly what you want to keep the letters for. Have mercy on Dicky. His wedding is the week after next—the twenty-fourth, and—frankly—he's in a hideous state of nerves. Remember, he was awfully young when—”
“A year does make a difference!” she said ironically. “No doubt his having come into the title and money has aged him terribly! It would be rude to suggest that his sudden betrothal to the daughter of an earl had had that effect—wouldn't it?”
“Oh, I say, don't chaff!”
“My dear Mr. Leslie,” she said, throwing her cigarette into the tray, “has it not occurred to you that I might be feeling pretty bitter at missing a title and twenty thousand a year?”
He looked at her in alarm; then all at once his expression softened. “I don't think you could convince me of that,” he said earnestly.
“Thanks,” she lightly returned. “But”—her voice was hard again—“have you never thought that your friend might have asked for his letters direct instead of employing a go-between?”
Once more the young man colored.
“You don't seem to have any very good excuses for your friend,” she went on presently. “Well, I'm not going to accuse or abuse Sir Richard Harmer, Bart., to his faithful ally. I will only say to you, Mr. Leslie, that even a dancing girl may object to being treated as I have been treated—not necessarily because she is in love with the man—or boy, if you insist on the word. I think that is all.”
She rose; he followed suit, feeling wretched, helpless and ashamed—as much, perhaps, of himself as of the failure of his mission.
For a silent moment he regarded the lovely, graceful creature in the flame-colored silks.
“Won't you say anything?” he whispered in sheer desperation.
“Good-bye, Mr. Leslie.”
“But about the letters—what am I to say to Dicky? Simply that you insist on keeping them?”
“Oh, you must not tell your friend such an untruth.”
“An untruth —Why?—What are you saying, Milly? For pity's sake explain! We—we used to be good friends, before all this miserable trouble. Come, tell me you are going to be generous and give them up. Milly, dear old girl!”—he caught her hand—“will you give them to me, and end the horrid business? I'll do anything in the world for you. You'll never want a friend—that is, if you'll have me for one. I ask your pardon for the way I've behaved, these last few weeks.... Milly, do the big thing, and let me have them to-night. I don't suppose you have them here, but—”
“No,” she said quietly, withdrawing her hand, “they are not here.”
“Then let me give you supper and see you home to-night—”
“Nor are they there.” A tap fell on the door. “I must go!”
“Stay! Where are they?”
“In the post-office.” Her lips twitched at the corners. “I posted them—registered—on my way to the theater to-night.”
“Posted them!” he gasped.
“It had struck me that they would make a rather unique wedding present.” The smile escaped.
“Milly, you glorious girl!” he exclaimed. “Oh, you're magnificent! A wedding present for poor old Dicky—”
She gave a cruel little laugh, and opened the door.
“What a pretty idea!” she said mockingly.
“Milly!”
“You're a dull boy! Your friend isn't the only person getting wedding presents just now—”
“Don't tell me—you've sent them to—”
“The daughter of the belted earl? What? Good-bye.”
She was gone.
“Good Lord!” Aghast, the young man leaned against the door-post.
Down below the music changed. A gust of applause came up to his unheeding ears, as the favorite appeared on the stage, saying to herself: “I'm afraid poor old Dicky is going to have a bad night.”
ATER in the evening the two most distracted young men in London were to be found in the smoking-room of Sir Richard Harmer's flat.
“I say again, it was a fiendish, devilish thing to do,” the baronet was observing for at least the tenth time.
“That's so,” his friend admitted patiently, “but it isn't particularly helpful. The question is: What's to be done—or, rather, is there anything that can be done?”
Sir Richard looked as serious as a naturally dull-witted young man can look: which is very serious indeed. “The packet,” he said slowly, “will be delivered by the postman in the morning. You don't happen to know at which office it was handed in?”
“It won't be there now, anyway,” Leslie returned. “And, my dear Dicky, don't begin to hope that there's the slightest chance of recovering the packet from the post-office, either by burglary or bribery—”
“But we must get it somehow! Ruby would never forgive me, and if the Earl—oh, you know what an old puritan he is, especially about the stage.”
“I don't think you need—or ought—to be concerned about anyone except Lady Ruby,” said Leslie, stiffly. It was being borne in upon him that his friend was showing up rather badly. “And I'm beginning to think,” he added, “that there is only one thing for you to do—”
“What?”
“Make a clean breast of it to the girl you are going to marry.”
“Heavens! You don't mean that!” In his agitation the baronet flicked his cigarette ash into his tumbler and raised the deep silver ash receptacle almost to his lips. He laughed foolishly.
Leslie did not even smile. “I can't see any other way, Dicky. Write now and tell her the truth. Have your letter delivered express, in front of the postman. I shouldn't wonder if she burns Milly's packet without opening it—Why, what's the matter?”
The other's expression was all of horrified dismay.
“And you call yourself my friend!”
“Have I not proved it? Hang it, man, have I not been doing your dirty work for the last three weeks?”
“And a nice mess you've made of it!”
“I?”
“Yes, you! I believe you put it into her head to send the letters to Ruby.”
Red with anger, Leslie sprang to his feet. “That's enough!” he cried. “I'll leave you to stew in your own juice, you miserable funk!” He dashed from the room.
The wretched young baronet overtook him at the outer door.
“Don't desert me now, Leslie,” he besought. “I didn't mean it—didn't know what I was saying. Of course I know that you have done everything a chap could do for his pal. I must have your help....”
Leslie who, after all, was only a degree less weak of nature than Harmer, allowed himself to be coaxed back to the smoking-room. To tell the truth, he could not afford a quarrel with Harmer; for from whom but his wealthy friend could he hope for help to meet that horrible promissory note due a week thence? He had honestly endeavored to be single-hearted in his negotiations with Milly Lexington; nevertheless he had striven for success for his own sake as well as his friend's. With the letters safely secured he could say, in effect, to Dicky: “Look here, old man, I've helped you out of a pretty awful hole, and now I'm in one myself.”
He permitted Harmer to recharge the long tumbler and accepted a cigarette from the host's golden box.
“I gave you the best advice I could—er—think of,” he said sadly. “It's nearly always better to confess than to be found out.”
“I couldn't do it. I'm too—er—jolly fond of Ruby to break her heart. Besides, she'd chuck me to a cert.”
“But the letters—”
“She hasn't got them yet.”
“She'll get them—for breakfast.” Leslie paused. “You simply can't prevent it, Dicky.”
The baronet sank into his chair and raised his glass—a clean one freshly charged—unsteadily to his lips. “I admit that I personally cannot prevent the packet reaching her,” he said slowly, after a long pull. “I seem to have lost all my nerve, Leslie.” He sighed and proceeded: “You understand, of course, that my offer of a thousand pounds for the letters is still open?”
“Oh!” the other involuntarily exclaimed, “is it?”
“I don't care who gets the cash so long as I get the packet unopened.” Sir Richard drew from his breast-pocket the envelope which Leslie had returned to him an hour earlier. He extracted the little bundle of twenty £50 notes and rustled the corners between his thumb and middle finger. “I should say the postman arrives at Somerset Square sometime between seven-thirty and eight—”
“Only a madman would dream of trying the postman,” said Leslie faintly.
“I happen to know,” the other continued, “that the letters are taken in by Graves, the butler, an aged and fussy person—oh, don't imagine I'm thinking of buying him! But if—if someone were in the hall when the letters were delivered—”
“By Jove!” cried Leslie, with a rush of admiration, “you've got pluck after all, Dicky!”
“I?” said the baronet. “I could never do it myself. The butler knows me as well as he knows—”
“But you could disguise yourself. Why, you've got some old whiskers and things in the house from that Covent Garden ball!”
“I'd betray myself, sure. I haven't the nerve. But you, Leslie—”
“What?”
“You could do it—disguised, of course.”
“Great Jupiter! do you imagine for a moment that I—I'd steal the letters for you?”
“The letters are really mine. You'd be doing a damnably good deed, too—saving an innocent girl a deuce of a lot of unhappiness and—er—so on. Leslie, you must do it.”
“Utterly impossible! Out of the question!”
Sir Richard sat up and wiped his brow. “You're my only hope, Leslie. You've got more brains than I have. You can do the thing for me.... Look here,” he said in an abrupt change of tone, “how much money do you owe at the present moment? Don't resent the question. It's kindly meant. Would this”—he tapped the bundle of notes—“clear you? Come, old chap. Out with it!”
Leslie shook his head.
“H'm!” grunted the baronet. “Would—er—fifteen hundred do it?”
A husky whisper of assent was all the other could produce.
Sir Richard rose. There was a brief rustling and then he dropped ten of the notes on his friend's knees.
“A thousand when you bring me the packet,” he said softly.
“Oh, Lord,” whispered Leslie, “I—I can't accept this... Suppose I can't manage the thing—”
“You'll have tried for it, anyway. But don't think of the beastly money; think of our friendship, you know.”
“But suppose I get caught.”
“I'll swear you did it for a wager.”
“If—if only the thing hadn't been registered....”
“All the easier for you to spot it! Now let us discuss details—confound it! this decanter's empty.”
“No more for me,” said Leslie.
Sir Richard smiled and rang the bell.
T was a most disagreeable morning, cold, wet and gusty. At a quarter-to-eight it was still all but dark. The black-bearded, bespectacled, foreign-looking person in the long dark coat and soft felt hat, who had entered Somerset Square, a few yards behind the postman, shivered, nay, shuddered. Lights gleamed from the windows of the Square; here and there a servant was visible at a door, and on the north side a milk-cart broke the monotony; but on the south side, road and pavement stretched emptily in front of the two individuals just mentioned.
The postman had nothing for No. 1, and when he failed to mount the steps there, the foreign-looking person appeared to increase his pace. When, however, the postman ascended to No. 2, the other slowed down, then spurted, but in no very noticeable fashion. He was ringing the bell of No. 3 when the postman was leaving No. 2.
An elderly, austere-faced manservant opened the door, and the foreign-looking person at once said, producing a small package—
“I vas entroosted to deleever zis to ze Lady Ruby. Eet ees mos' important—valuable. I haf to deleever eet in her own han's, please.”
The butler replied that her Ladyship had not yet come downstairs, adding—ironically, perhaps that a little time might elapse ere she did so.
“I haf come straight from ze gontinental train, for I fear to be stole—robbed. I vill vait for ze Lady Ruby.”
The postman was now behind him.
“Step inside,” said the butler. “I must take the letters first.”
The foreign-looking person stepped into the hall. A maid-servant with a tea-tray was passing up the staircase. No one else was about.
The butler received a bundle of letters, also a sealed oblong packet, for which he signed his name on a green slip, and closed the door.
“You look honest man,” remarked the stranger. “I trust you wis ze valuable, if you vill bring me ze han'—write—recipe—of ze Lady Ruby.”
“Well, well,” said the old man testily—he was slowly sorting the mail on a side table—“wait, and I'll ring for her ladyship's maid.”
“Nein. I entroost eet only to you,” said the other, moving forward and pushing his package under the butler's nose. Then he squeezed it—the package—sharply.
The butler, throwing out his hands, staggered back with a fearful gasp, and next moment the hall resounded with his sneezes. The foreign-looking person snatched the sealed packet, dropped it into his pocket, wrenched the big key from the door, opened the door, slipped out, shut it and locked it on the outside. He was ghastly pale as he went almost leisurely down the steps. The pavement was still deserted save for the postman, now at No. 8.
He walked towards the corner. Pulling down his hat brim and lowering his head, he detached his beard and spectacles, and furtively dropped them into the area of No. 1. Keeping his head well down, he turned the corner, and then with a sigh of relief broke into a brisk walk. And suddenly he smiled to think that he had earned fifteen hundred pounds.
Possibly he would not have smiled had he been aware that his beard and spectacles had dropped between the faces of a little scullery maid and a page boy engaged in a mild matutinal flirtation. Before the maid had finished her screech the page boy was at the street level. No one there. Round the corner he darted. A little way off a man was getting into a taxi. The page boy, who happened to have his wits in good order, took the number.
IR RICHARD HARMER had not been up so early for many a day, which may have accounted for the “awful head” which had been added to his other troubles. In his dressing-gown he sat before the breakfast-room fire and watched the clock. Now and then he groaned,
When the clock struck eight he muttered: “He has failed—confound him for a bungler! Heaven knows—”
His man showed in Leslie who, the instant the door was closed, executed a little pas seul and hoarsely whispered, “Victory.” He then tossed the precious packet to his friend.
“By Jove! you are a brick!” cried Dicky, pale with the revulsion. “I'm more grateful than I can say. And won't Milly be mad! Disguised writing, too, the little vixen! Lend me your knife, old chap. And, I say, you might stir up the fire. We'll get rid of the horrors at once.”
He cut the string, tore it off, shattering the seals, and removed the stiff yellow paper. Inside was a thin greenish wrapper.
“Done it daintily, too—eh?” said Leslie, wielding the poker.
“Tell me how you managed it all, old chap—God bless you! Tissue paper, too, no less!”
“Why, it was wonderfully simple, though—”
“Good Gad!” Sir Richard almost screamed. “What the devil is this?”
At that moment his man entered and laid on the table the morning's post. On the top of the correspondence was a sealed packet.
“I signed for it, Sir Richard,” the man remarked, and withdrew.
“Open it— !” exclaimed Dicky, whose shaking hands were clutching a small oblong leather case.
Leslie, looking ill, obeyed. There was only one wrapper of not very fresh paper. Inside was a bundle of bulky letters, very badly written, to judge by the topmost specimen on which reposed a lady's card. Leslie held the card so that his unhappy friend might read the message on it.
Sir Richard's utterance shall not be set down here. It was mainly abusive.
“Well, I did my best for you,” said Leslie at last, with a sound suspiciously like a sob. “And the dashed thing looked as if it contained letters.”
“Instead of which,” said Sir Richard, emitting a ghastly laugh, “it contains four cursed, silly, useless little salt-cellars with Aunt Arabella's love and best wishes—confound the blithering old fool! What a kettle of fish! What the deuce am I to do?”
“Why,” exclaimed Leslie, as with an inspiration, “it's quite simple! Tie up the case and post it, re-registered, to Lady Ruby.”
“Just what I was going to suggest,” said the baronet, after a moment. “Well, go ahead. I never could make a parcel.” He held out the case, wrapper and all.
Leslie deposited the letters with their wrapper on the table and laid the salt-cellar package alongside of it; he carefully refolded the coverings of both.
“Now, Dicky,” he said pleadingly, “don't be too hard on a fellow who was only doing his best for you. Don't you see that the one packet looks as likely to contain a bundle of letters as the other—now, doesn't it?”
“Oh, shut up!” said Dicky impatiently, “and get the dashed thing ready for the post.”
“All right.... But I must have fresh string and some sealing-wax.”
The servant soon provided string, but had, eventually, to go out to purchase sealing-wax. On his return—
“Aren't you going to have any breakfast to-day?” mildly inquired Leslie, who had got the string into a horrid tangle. “I'm beastly peckish,” he added, rubbing his nose with the scarlet stick. “There's no special hurry—”
“Look here, my friend! That packet has to go to the post before— Hullo! what on earth is happening now?”
From the hall came the sound of a disturbance, and then the door opened to admit a procession consisting of the Earl of Verdigross, a taxi-driver, a boy in buttons, and a burly individual in dark tweeds, whom you would have recognized as a detective a mile away.
After a searching glance round the room, the burly individual stepped over to the hearth and picked up a piece of paper. It was a label bearing the words:
With a nod of satisfaction he handed it to the Earl.
The Earl boiled over, as it were. His aged butler had been foully assaulted, he himself had been dragged from bed at an unearthly hour, and a registered packet addressed to his daughter, the Lady Ruby, had been most impudently stolen. Further—the Earl adjusted his glasses and tapped the label with a long, pointed forefinger—the thief had been traced to—h'm—the present spot.
“A mere joke,” blurted Sir Richard. “He”—indicating the squirming Leslie—“did it for a bet.”
To Leslie, with whom he had affably hob-nobbed but three nights ago, the Earl vouchsafed a glance of freezing hauteur, remarking: “A singularly ill-timed jest, the taste of which I may discuss with Sir Richard Harmer later. Meantime I request to be put in immediate possession of my daughter's property.”
“Give him it, for Heaven's sake,” moaned the wretched baronet.
“Certainly, certainly, your lordship,” stammered Leslie. “Permit me to t-t-tie it up for you—”
“Tush!” said his lordship impatiently, and seized the packet which Leslie's trembling hand had taken from the table. Without a word he turned and led his followers from the room.
Sir Richard's remarks must again be suppressed.
“Never mind, old man,” said Leslie feebly, “it will all come right. You've got the letters, anyway.”
“Give me them,” cried Sir Richard, starting up; “the cursed things—”
Leslie handed him the remaining packet.
He opened it.
The case of salt-cellars....
IR RICHARD is still single. The Lady Ruby has not died of a broken heart; she is, in fact, again engaged. Mr. Leslie has gone abroad, after asking Milly Lexington to fly with him, and, incidentally, putting her in possession of the whole story.
On the night which heard her quite decided refusal to fly, she danced as usual—well, almost as usual. For in the midst of one of her whirlwinds she burst out laughing, which so delighted the audience that the management offered her another twenty pounds a week to explode nightly in that fashion.

William Locke Brockman
William Locke Brockman (1802 – 28 November 1872) was an early settler in Western Australia, who became a pastoralist and stock breeder, and a Member of the Western Australian Legislative Council.
Biography
Born in Kent, England, in 1802, William Locke Brockman was a member of the Brockman family, a Kent family with a history dating back to the 14th century. Little is known of his early life, except that he was a farmer with land in the Romney Marsh area. In 1827, Brockman married Ann Francis Elizabeth Hamersley (1809–1876). They had six sons and three daughters.
In 1829, Brockman, with his wife and eldest son Edmund, emigrated to the Swan River Colony in Western Australia. They arrived on Minstrel in January 1830. Brockman brought with him a prefabricated house, seven servants, and a number of sheep. Under the colony's system of land grants, this entitled him to a grant of over 20,000 acres. He was the ninth person to be granted land in the colony.
He established himself as a pastoralist and wheat grower in the Upper Swan district. He named his grant Herne Hill, and this name survives today as the name of the Perth suburb of Herne Hill. He was a foundation member of the Swan Agricultural Society in 1831, and in 1833 became a justice of the peace. In 1837, he constructed a mill on his property. His success as a farmer prompted his wife's brother Edward Hamersley to immigrate. Hamersley arrived with his wife and son Edward in February 1837. He ultimately became a successful and wealthy pastoralist, and a member of the Western Australian Legislative Council, and the Hamersley family became one of the most prominent families in the colony.
In 1839, he was nominated to the Western Australian Legislative Council, but he resigned the following year. From around 1845, he began exporting horses to India. He later acquired land near Northam, and was the first person to take up land in what is now the Shire of Bindoon. For this reason, the Brockman River, which flows through the Bindoon Shire, was named after him. Local Aboriginal people showed him the land around Gingin and because it had permanent water, he took up land there in 1841. He called the property Cheriton after the parish of his father, the Reverend Julius Drake-Brockman. A water-powered mill was built over the Gingin Brook by Alfred Carson, and wheat was milled into flour, helping relieve the colony's dependence on imported flour. Due to favourable soils, the property became the principal source of citrus fruit for Perth, and was especially known for what came to be called Cheriton oranges. It is thought that he had sourced the seeds in the Canary Islands.
In the 1860s, he became involved in the public push for representative government. Eventually, the Governor of Western Australia agreed to hold informal Legislative Council elections, on the understanding that he would nominate those elected. In the informal election of May 1867, he was elected for Guildford, and was accordingly nominated to the council. He held the nominative seat until July 1870, when the council became formally elective. He contested the seat of Swan in the subsequent election, but was defeated by Thomas Courthope Gull. Two years later he contested the seat again, this time defeating Gull. He held the seat until his death at Herne Hill on 28 November 1872.
Two of his sons, Henry and Edmund Ralph, became farmers in the colony and Members of the Legislative Council.

Exploring the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity
Will Cybersecurity be Replaced by AI?
Arrow
The Al revolution is transforming a wide range of industries, including cybersecurity. While some may worry that AI will displace human cybersecurity experts, the truth is that AI is a potent tool that can support cybersecurity efforts. We will examine the role of AI in cybersecurity as well as its advantages and drawbacks in this web story.
By analyzing data and identifying patterns, Al can detect and mitigate cyber threats in real-time, reducing the time it takes to identify and mitigate attacks. Additionally, AI can automate routine tasks, freeing up cybersecurity professionals to focus on more complex tasks. According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, among the artificial intelligence markets in cybersecurity, the value is estimated to increase from USD 22.4 Billion to USD 60.6 Billion by 2028 (CAGR of 21.9%).
The Benefits of AI in Cybersecurity
While AI has many benefits in cybersecurity, it is not a replacement for human cybersecurity professionals. AI is only as good as the data it is educated on, and it cannot take the place of human professionals' creativity and critical thinking abilities. Additionally, AI can be vulnerable to attacks and can be biased if not properly trained.
The Limitations of AI in Cybersecurity
With so many organisations now utilising AI to improve their cybersecurity efforts, the future of AI in cybersecurity is bright. However, it's important to keep in mind that AI is a tool, not a substitute for human specialists. The most effective cybersecurity strategies will combine the power of AI with the expertise of human professionals.
The Future of AI in Cybersecurity
Businesses can use several strategies to ensure success when implementing Al in cybersecurity. This can include conducting a risk assessment to identify areas of vulnerability, selecting the right AI solution for your business needs, and providing employee education and training to ensure proper use of AI.

During the past decades, one major focus of heart developmental biology is on the cardiac transcriptional factors (such as Nkx2.5, Isl1, Tbx20), which are conserved coding genes across multiple species and play key roles in controlling cardiogenesis. However, human heart has different size, electrophysiological properties and distinct cardiogenesis process from rodents. Why such species-specific differences exist and what gene programs control human-specific cardiogenesis and heart function are still remaining unknown. Recently, accumulating evidences showed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in cell fate specification and organ development. LncRNAs are > 200 nucleotides noncoding transcripts with limited coding potential. LncRNAs account for ~40% of human transcriptome. Particularly, many lncRNAs are tissue- specific and species-specific with poor interspecies conservations. Additionally, recent evidences demonstrated dys-regulated lncRNAs could cause various cardiovascular diseases. All these evidences allow us to hypothesize that lncRNAs are species-specific genes, which could regulate human-specific cardiogenesis. In our preliminary studies, we recapitulated early human heart development using human embryonic stem (ES) cells. By using whole transcriptome sequencing, we identified hundreds of previously unannotated novel human lncRNAs, which showed lineage-specific expression patterns in human ES cell-derived multipotential cardiovascular progenitor cells (MCPs), cardiomyocytes (CMs), smooth muscle cells (SMs) or endothelial cells (ECs). To date, full sequences and functions of those novel human cardiac- specific lncRNAs are still unknown. Therefore, in this proposal, we will conduct a screening to identify functional novel human lncRNAs, which regulate MCP formation and/or commitment. Particularly, 21 unannotated lncRNAs, which are specifically enriched in human heart progenitor cells (MCPs) with high abundance, were chosen as target lncRNA candidates. Given that some lncRNAs are partially overlapping with host or neighbor genes, complete deletion of lncRNA using classic CRISPR/Cas-9 may partially delete its host/neighbor genes. Thus, we decided to utilize a recently reported inducible CRISPR/Cas-9 interference (CRISPRi) system to knock down lncRNAs without disturbing their host/neighbor genes. Meanwhile, an inducible CRISPR/Cas-9 activation (CRISPRa) system will be utilized in this proposal to activate endogenous lncRNA expression. Overall, by taking advantages of our in vitro model of human cardiogenesis in ES cells and the cutting-edge technologies of CRISPRi/a, this proposal aims to define sequences and determine functions of a list of novel human lncRNAs in regulating early human heart development.
Public Health Relevance

User:Gibmetal77/sandbox/Healy's Mortar
Healy's Mortar (sometimes spelled Healey's Mortar) is a mortar cut out of solid limestone in the western face of the Rock of Gibraltar in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar.
Construction
Healy's Mortar is located just north of the Apes' Den at Prince Ferdinand's Battery along Queen's Road in the Upper Rock area of the Gibraltar Nature Reserve.
The cutting of a mortar out of solid rock was not Mr. Healy's original invention as a variant was already in existence below a fountain in what later became the Alameda Botanic Gardens. It was considerably older than Healy's and according to historian George Palao likely to be of the period towards the end of the second Moorish occupation or the beginning of the Spanish re-occupation which would coincide with gunpowder's first appearance in Europe.
Healy however, chose to cut his mortar into the solid limestone of the Rock in a parabolic conoid at an elevation of 650 ft above sea level. He achieved this by first cutting a plane surface at an angle of 45 degrees and boring a centre axis to the depth of 4 ft perpendicular to the surface. He then used this centre hole to inscribe a circle 3 ft in diameter onto the plane. The limestone's hardness meant Healy was unable to excavate the mortar's cavity by chipping away at the rock, so he instead bore further holes around the entire circumference of the circle, each inclined to the centre so they all ran to the base of the centre hole. The partitions between the holes were then cut away to loosen a cone of solid rock. This cone was later taken to England by Captain Bentinck aboard HMS Centaur (1759). Healy completed the construction of the mortar by chipping away at the rough rock cavity to shape it into a true parabola and finally polishing it smooth. The idea of using this shape was that any load or charge would follow a parallel trajectory to its centre axis much in the same way as we now understand radio waves to travel from a modern parabolic antenna.
Testing
At eight o'clock in the morning of 14 May 1771 the then Governor of Gibraltar, Edward Cornwallis, ordered for testing to begin on the stone mortar. The Southport Gates were closed and the drawbridge pulled up in anticipation of the experiments while the three guards between there and the South Barracks retired out of harm's way. The Governor had put a Colonel Philips in charge of the experiments and though Healy requested that the first shot be made with a charge of 50 lbs of gunpowder, the Colonel would only agree to 27 lbs. Stones were collected for the first shot and a detachment of artillery assisted with loading the mortar.
The powder was first placed in the mortar's base followed by a wooden tampion carefully placed to cover the charge. A quick match would then be conveyed via a copper tube through the tampion's centre to ignite the powder.

Abraham Drake
Abraham Drake (December 4, 1715 – August 1, 1781) was an officer in the New Hampshire militia that served with the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
Biography
Drake was born in Hampton, New Hampshire to Abraham Drake and his wife, Theodate Roby. Abraham Drake married Abigail Weare, the sister of future New Hampshire "president" Meshech Weare, on January 13, 1738. They had two children before her death in 1740. On November 25, 1742, Abraham Drake remarried to Abigail Dearborn and together they would have thirteen children.
During the French and Indian War, he served as a lieutenant and, later, as a captain in the Dragoon company of Maj. Tash's battalion of the New Hampshire Provincial Regiment.
With the start of the American Revolutionary War in 1775 and 1776, Abraham Drake was Lt. Col. in Jonathan Moulton's 3rd New Hampshire Militia Regiment that guarded the New Hampshire seacoast from British attack. In 1777, he was promoted to colonel of the 2nd New Hampshire Militia Regiment and commanded them during the Saratoga Campaign, serving in Ebenezer Learned's brigade.
Later, he served as a delegate to the New Hampshire Provincial Congress. Col. Abraham Drake died on August 1, 1781.

Saadian Tombs
The Saadian Tombs are a historic royal necropolis in Marrakesh, Morocco, located on the south side of the Kasbah Mosque, inside the royal kasbah (citadel) district of the city. They date to the time of the Saadian dynasty and in particular to the reign of Ahmad al-Mansur (1578–1603), though members of Morocco's monarchy continued to be buried here for a time afterwards. The complex is regarded by many art historians as the high point of Moroccan architecture in the Saadian period due to its luxurious decoration and careful interior design. Today the site is a major tourist attraction in Marrakesh.
Name
The necropolis is commonly known as the Saadian Tombs today. In historical Arabic texts, they were referred to as the "qubbas of the sharifs" or "tombs of the sharifs" (قبر أشراف).
Before the Saadians
The early history of the necropolis is not well known. The necropolis is located right behind the qibla wall (in this case the southeastern wall) of the Kasbah Mosque, which was built, along with the surrounding royal kasbah (citadel), by the Almohad ruler Abu Yusuf Ya'qub al-Mansur in the late 12th century. Accordingly, it is believed that this was the site of a necropolis even in Almohad times, though there's no evidence of any significant figures being buried here at that time (the Almohad rulers were buried at Tinmal instead).
It is known, however, that in the 14th century, during the Marinid dynasty period, Sultan Abu al-Hasan was buried here temporarily in 1351. He died while in exile in the High Atlas mountains and Marrakesh was thus the closest city for burial (which, under Islamic tradition, must be carried out quickly). A few months later his body was then moved and reburied in the Marinid royal necropolis at Chellah (near Rabat). A marble tombstone with a long inscription attests to his first burial in the Marrakesh kasbah necropolis, and this tombstone is still found in the Chamber of the Three Niches in the Saadian tombs today (presumably moved there during or after Saadian construction). The Marinid sultan's burial here suggests that it must have already been a cemetery at the time. Afterwards, the necropolis also became the burial site of the Hintati emirs who controlled the region of Marrakesh from the mid-15th century until the 1520s. Some of their epitaphs are still visible today.
The Saadian necropolis
The present necropolis dates generally from the Saadian period but there are still some questions about the chronology and attribution of the various constructions which have not been resolved beyond doubt. The most generally cited timeline and the most complete analysis was laid out by Deverdun in 1959, based on a number of arguments and lines of evidence.
Beginnings under Abdallah al-Ghalib
The necropolis has two major structures: one to the east, surrounded by gardens on either side, and one to the west, next to the visitor entrance today. The eastern mausoleum was the first to be built, starting out as a simple square chamber adjoining the southern wall of the Kasbah Mosque. It is believed that this first mausoleum was built by the second Saadian sultan of Marrakesh, Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib, between 1557 and 1574. Al-Ghalib was already a prolific builder throughout his reign and it seems he wished to erect a mausoleum to honor his father Muhammad al-Shaykh, the founder of the dynasty, who was killed in 1557 and buried here in what was probably a simple grave. Before Muhammad al-Shaykh some Saadians – most notably al-Qai'm, the dynasty's founder, and Ahmad al-Araj and his sons – had been buried in the Zawiya of al-Jazuli and its adjoining cemetery in the city.
Al-Ghalib himself was eventually buried next to his father in 1574, in the new mausoleum he had built. A dedicatory marble inscription panel was placed on the wall at the head of his tomb, but this panel was later moved (at an unknown date and for unknown reasons) to the Chamber of the Three Niches in the later western building. It is probable (but unconfirmed) that the fourth Saadian sultan, Abd al-Malik, was also buried next to Muhammad al-Shaykh (also his father), on the south side of the latter's tomb, in 1578 or after.
Expansion under Ahmad al-Mansur
The next building phase took place during the reign of Ahmad al-Mansur, another of Muhammad al-Shaykh's sons and the most powerful and wealthy of the Saadian sultans, between 1578 and 1603. When al-Mansur's mother, Lalla Mas'uda, a wife of Muhammad al-Shaykh, died in 1591, he decided to have her buried within the same mausoleum chamber as that of his father. It was most likely on this occasion, or slightly after, that al-Mansur decided to modify and expand this mausoleum. He allegedly redid the decoration of the existing chamber, and added two rectangular loggia rooms on its eastern and western sides. He also created a much larger rectangular chamber (the so-called Grand Chamber) on the southern side, connected directly to the other three rooms. It's possible that al-Mansur intended this larger chamber to house his own tomb. At some point, he probably also commissioned two more dedicatory marble inscription panels to be placed at the heads of the tombs of his father (Muhammad al-Shaykh ) and his mother (Lalla Mas'uda). Again for unknown reasons and at an uncertain date, Muhammad al-Shaykh's dedicatory panel was moved to the western building and placed on the back wall of the Chamber of the Twelve Columns, where it is still visible today. The panel dedicated to Lalla Mas'uda has remained next to her grave (although it may have been moved around too). At some point during al-Mansur's expansion and embellishment of the eastern mausoleum, between 1591 and 1598 (or before 1603 at latest), he decided to abandon this work and embarked on the construction of an entirely new building to the west. This new mausoleum was clearly intended for his own burial. The building was divided into three chambers, from south to north: the Chamber of the Mihrab (a prayer room, not originally meant to house any tombs), the Chamber of the Twelve Columns (a regal tomb chamber for himself), and the Chamber of the Three Niches (an annex to the main chamber). The first person to be buried in this building was probably one of al-Mansur's wives, Mahalla bint Omar al-Marin, in 1598, in a spot close to the eventual tomb of her husband in the Chamber of the Twelve Columns. Ahmad al-Mansur himself was buried in the center of this chamber upon his death in 1603. Some of the decoration in the Chamber of the Mihrab may have been left unfinished after his death. After al-Mansur, a number of other family members, including his successors, were buried in this chamber with him. Among the more important ones, the first was another of his wives, Lalla Aisha as-Shabaniyya, in 1623. Then it was their son, Sultan Moulay Zidan, in 1627, followed by Sultan Abd al-Malik II in 1631 and Sultan Muhammad al-Shaykh al-Saghir in 1653–54. Today, Moulay Zidan's epitaph is immediately to the right of his father's while to the left is Muhammad al-Shaykh al-Saghir. The ornate tombstones (of a type called mqabriya) over these five important royal family members (i.e. al-Mansur, Lalla Aisha as-Shabaniyya, Zidan, Abd al-Malik II, and al-Shaykh al-Saghir) are also the largest and finest in the mausoleum, carved in Carrara marble. Their strong similarity in style and craftsmanship has been argued as evidence that they were created by the same artisan or workshop of artisans between 1603 and 1655, with the mqabriyas of the first two (al-Mansur and Lalla Aisha as-Shabaniyya) probably being commissioned by their son Moulay Zidan and then serving as models for the other three tombstones made later. A number of other lesser royal family members are scattered around the chamber.
After the Saadians
The necropolis continued to be used as a burial place for some time after al-Mansur's death. The 'Alawi sultan Moulay Isma'il (ruled 1672–1727), who plundered the Saadian palaces, later restricted access to the Saadian necropolis by sealing it off from most of the surrounding buildings. Nonetheless, it continued to be used even in the 'Alawi period, as evidenced by the profusion of graves and tombstones scattered around the cemetery today. The large rectangular chamber (or Grand Chamber) on the southern side of Muhammad al-Shaykh's and Lalla Mas'uda's mausoleum was filled with other tombs. The Chamber of the Mihrab, the southern chamber of Ahmad al-Mansur's construction which was intended to be used merely as a prayer room, was used as a mausoleum by the 'Alawi dynasty up until at least the late 18th century. It is now filled entirely with the graves of 'Alawi family members. One of these graves is reputedly that of the 'Alawi sultan Moulay al-Yazid (died 1792), which was previously marked off by a wooden balustrade and which was sometimes visited by local pilgrims. Moulay al-Yazid's name is now also associated with the Kasbah Mosque and with the square in front of it. In total, the necropolis now contains 56 tombstones marked with mqabriyas (ornate marble epitaphs) and another hundred or so tombs marked simply with multicolored tiles.
Modern times
Eventually, the necropolis was isolated from the surrounding streets and fell out of use. In 1917 they were "rediscovered" by the Service des Beaux-Arts, Antiquités et Monuments historiques ("Service of Fine Arts, Antiquities, and Historic Monuments") of Morocco, an official body created in 1912 with the beginning of the French Protectorate over Morocco. By then, the tombs were in state of severe disrepair, and from 1917 onward the Service carried out a careful restoration process. Missing parts of the decoration were restored by using surviving parts as a model. The work also opened up the site to the general public for the first time. From the 1920s onward the tombs became the object of study by scholars. Today, they have become a major tourist attraction in Marrakesh.
During the September 2023 earthquake that struck southern Morocco, the tombs suffered damage. The most serious damage was found in the structures that adjoined the site and the Kasbah Mosque, rather than in the tombs themselves. An early assessment found significant cracks in the walls and towers surrounding the enclosure, partial collapses around the site's entrance, some damage to the roof tiles of the eastern mausoleum (of Lalla Mas'uda), and damage to the stucco decoration of the western mausoleum (the Chamber of the Mihrab and the Chamber of Twelve Columns). The site was subsequently closed for repairs and was reopened to visitors in October 2023.
Architecture and layout
The necropolis is a large garden cemetery enclosed by a rampart to the south and by the wall of the Kasbah Mosque to the north. Inside this are two main buildings: one on the western edge of the cemetery (on the left as visitors enter) and the other further east, surrounded by the cemetery gardens. The gardens are filled with graves covered by colourful tiles.
The mausoleums are constructed in the Moorish or western Islamic style that developed in this region over the previous centuries. The decorative techniques seen in the buildings of the preceding Marinid and Nasrid dynasties – who ruled in Morocco and al-Andalus (southern Spain), respectively – are repeated here.
The eastern mausoleum
The eastern building of the necropolis is the older of the two main buildings in the necropolis. It is often referred to as the Qubba of Lalla Mas'uda (qubba being an Arabic word for a mausoleum, usually domed). It consists of a small central square chamber (the so-called Chamber of Lalla Mas'uda), two rectangular loggia rooms on either side to the east and west, and a large rectangular chamber to the south (the so-called Grand Chamber) which connects directly to all three. In addition to the two loggias which open onto the gardens, there is an opening (a door or a former window) on the southern side of the large southern chamber. This unusual and almost symmetrical layout is believed to be the result of at least two different construction phases: a square mausoleum originally erected over the tomb of Muhammad al-Shaykh by Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib and an expansion by Ahmad al-Mansur which added the other chambers around it (see history section above). The bulk of the building is built in brick. The decoration, also believed to be from al-Mansur's time, is of high quality throughout, even though some scholars believe the decoration was left unfinished when Ahmad al-Mansur stopped working on this building and began constructing the western mausoleum.
The Chamber of Lalla Mas'uda
The central chamber is also sometimes referred to as the Chamber of Lalla Mas'uda. It is believed to be the oldest structure in the necropolis, a relatively small mausoleum erected by Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib between 1557 and 1574 over the tomb of his father, Muhammad al-Shaykh, the founder of the dynasty. Today it contains the tomb of Muhammad al-Shaykh, Lalla Mas'uda (a wife of al-Shaykh and mother of Ahmad al-Mansur), al-Ghalib himself, and possibly also Sultan Abd al-Malik (another son of al-Shaykh who ruled between 1576 and 1578).
The chamber is square, measuring 4 meters per side. The chamber is covered by a vault of very fine and intricate muqarnas (honeycomb or stalactite-like sculpting) made of stucco which retains a part of its polychrome painting in blue and gold (among other colours). The surfaces of the tiny niches in the muqarnas composition alternate between plain surfaces and surfaces carved with Moroccan/Andalusi arabesque motifs. The upper walls of the chamber are covered in intricate stucco decoration as well, in the form of arabesque and geometric compositions, while the lower walls are covered in zellij tile mosaics with geometric star patterns. Between these two parts are bands of Arabic inscriptions in both stucco and tilework. The floor is also covered in zellij paving (although in generally simpler motifs). On the chamber's northern side is a niche, resembling a mihrab, covered by its own canopy of muqarnas. This niche contains the tomb of Lalla Mas'uda. On the lower western wall of the niche is a carved marble panel with a dedicatory text to Lalla Mas'uda. The panel is the best preserved piece of its kind in the whole necropolis, thanks in part to the fact that it was originally protected by wooden shutters. In addition to its rich carvings, it retains hints of former red paint.
The Grand Chamber
Lalla Masu'da's chamber connects to the large rectangular chamber to the south through a doorway crowned by an intricate stucco arch with muqarnas intrados (inner surfaces of the arch), which in turn is surrounded by some of the highest-quality stucco carving. The upper walls of this chamber are mostly bare but the lower walls feature zellij tilework with even more complex 16-sided star patterns. The chamber is covered by a berchla roof (a Moroccan wooden framework ceiling with particular stylistic geometric arrangements) with remnants of its former colours. The floor is covered in tilework again along with various tombs. The chamber measures 10 by 6 meters.
The loggias
On either side of the mausoleum are small rectangular chambers (4 by 2 meters) that open to the outside through richly-decorated loggias. Loggia The eastern loggia room has doorways opening onto both the central mausoleum chamber (via another intricate archway) and the southern Grand Chamber, while the western loggia connects only to the southern chamber. The loggias are triple-arched: a cedar wood canopy forms an arch resting on stucco-carved pillars that in turn rest on marble columns, with smaller muqarnas-carved arches crossing the space between the columns and the main walls of the structure. The wooden canopies feature a band carved with cartouches of Arabic calligraphy featuring a Qur'anic verse from the Surah al-Ahzab. The stucco carvings are again very fine and feature a variety of motifs. A band of stucco featuring a star-like pattern runs around the rest of the building on the outside, just below the wooden roof.
The western mausoleum
The western mausoleum building is divided into three chambers: the Chamber of the Mihrab, the Chamber of the Twelve Columns, and the Chamber of the Three Niches. It is believed to date entirely from the reign of Ahmad al-Mansur, though it contains many tombs from after his time as well.
Chamber of the Mihrab
The southernmost chamber was intended to be a small mosque or prayer room, which is why it features a mihrab on its south/southeast wall. In Islamic architecture the mihrab is a niche or alcove symbolizing the qibla (the direction of prayer). The mihrab here resembles that of the Ben Youssef Madrasa (also Saadian in origin): a horseshoe arch surrounded by elaborate stucco decoration and hiding a small muqarnas cupola inside. The decoration of the lower parts of the mihrab, however, appears to have been left unfinished: the outlines of a pattern have been traced but they have not been filled-in and carved. This is believed to be due to Ahmad al-Mansur dying before the decoration was completely finished and his successors lacking the will or the resources to finish it. A total of 8 engaged columns, made out of veined marble, are arranged around the base of the mihrab. The rest of the chamber is a large rectangular space marked by four columns supporting arches. The columns and the arches split the upper space of the chamber into 9 rectangular areas, with each division having its own wooden ceiling with star patterns. The ceiling in front of the mihrab, however, is different and instead features a large pyramid-shaped vault of intricate muqarnas (similar in style to the ceiling of the Chamber of Lalla Mas'uda). Since the vault has a square outline, it transitions into the rectangular space with two more sloped surfaces of muqarnas on either side.
This mosque chamber was originally the only entrance into the building. The central mausoleum of al-Mansur (the Chamber of Twelve Columns) is entered via another ornate muqarnas archway directly opposite the mihrab. Nowadays, however, the floor of the chamber is covered with the tombs of family members of the 'Alawi dynasty, as well as, reputedly, the tomb of the 'Alawi sultan Moulay al-Yazid. As a result, visitors are generally not allowed to walk inside.
Chamber of the Twelve Columns (Mausoleum of Ahmad al-Mansur)
This is the grand mausoleum chamber of Ahmad al-Mansur and the most richly decorated chamber in the entire necropolis, generally considered the highlight of the complex. Its layout follows a previously established plan seen at the Mausoleum of Sidi Yusuf ibn Ali in Marrakech (built by Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib) and in the remains of the rawda cemetery at the Alhambra of Granada. The chamber is square, measuring 10 meters per side and rising 12 meters high. A slightly smaller square is formed within the chamber by the twelve columns of Carrara marble symmetrically arranged in groups of three around the center of the room. The capitals of the marble columns have simple profiles but are covered in high-relief vegetal or arabesque carvings. What is more exceptional is that each group of three columns supports two small muqarnas arches which are also made out of marble (instead of the usual wood or stucco) and yet appear as intricately carved as the other elements in the room. The space between the column groups is spanned by wider muqarnas arches carved in stucco, but the consoles or corbels on which their bases rest are also made out of marble. Overall, the craftsmen who built the chamber took great care to make the transition from marble to stucco nearly imperceptible, so that the two highly different materials seem to blend naturally together. The use of red paint to highlight the stucco forms is still visible in many areas.
The elaborate cedar wood ceilings of the chamber are also high achievements of Moroccan and Saadian art. Because of the square-within-a-square layout and the arches springing from the corners of the inner square, there is one large ceiling in the center and eight smaller square and rectangular ceilings around it. The central wood-frame ceiling is shaped like a square dome or cupola and is covered in a star pattern. Both the shape and the pattern are similar to, but less extensive than, the famous ceiling of the Hall of Ambassadors in the Alhambra palace. Below the cupola itself is a transitional zone of wood-carved muqarnas, and below this are two bands of painted decoration with arabesque motifs and Arabic calligraphic inscriptions. The rectangular ceilings along the sides of the chamber are flat but feature more geometric motifs as well as miniature cupolas of muqarnas. Lastly, the smaller square ceilings in the corners of the chamber are full muqarnas cupolas. The upper bands of wood running just below the ceilings here are also decorated with arch motifs as well as Kufic Arabic motifs. The ceilings are all painted in predominantly red and gold colours, still preserved today.
The surfaces of the chamber walls are covered in carved stucco as well as the more usual zellij tiling along their lower parts. At the very center of the room is the tombstone of Ahmad al-Mansur. To his immediate right (from the perspective of present-day visitors seeing the room) is the tombstone of his son, Sultan Moulay Zidan (died 1627), and to his immediate left is the tombstone of Sultan Muhammad al-Shaykh al-Saghir (died 1654–55). Also in this room are the tombs of al-Mansur's wife, Lalla Aisha as-Shabaniyya (died 1623) and of Sultan Abd al-Malik II (died 1631). All of their tombstones, of a type called a mqabriya, consist of an elongated marble bloc carved with Arabic epitaphs on arabesque backgrounds. The mqabriyas of these five Saadians are particularly large and ornate, and are believed to have been made by the same workshop of artisans. The lesser tombstones of other dynasty members are scattered around the room. Curiously, the marble inscription plaque embedded in the back wall of the chamber is dedicated to Muhammad al-Shaykh (who is buried in the other mausoleum across the gardens to the east), and was apparently moved here from his tombstone in the eastern mausoleum. Why or when it was moved here is unknown.
Today, since the original entrance via the Chamber of the Mihrab is off-limits, visitors enter to the edge of the chamber via an opening in the eastern wall of the mausoleum, directly from the outside. This opening was originally only a window, similar to windows found in the outer walls of other shrines in Morocco where Muslim pedestrians on the street are able to offer prayers or gifts to the deceased without having to enter the sanctuary.
Chamber of the Three Niches
The Chamber of the Three Niches is an annex to the main mausoleum chamber and houses more tombs, including an epitaph attesting to the first (temporary) burial of the Marinid sultan Abu al-Hasan in 1341 (presumably transferred here after the Saadian construction). Another marble inscription plaque, this time belonging to Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib, is embedded in one of the walls of the chamber here. Once again, it is unknown why or when this plaque was moved from its original location (at the head of Abdallah's tomb in the eastern mausoleum) to here.
The chamber is accessed from the Chamber of the Twelve Columns via two side openings in the northern wall of the latter. The layout of the chamber is simpler and its ceilings are also less elaborate. However, its walls are covered in some of the most intricate stucco carvings of the complex, featuring a variety of arabesque, geometric, and epigraphic/calligraphic motifs.
Notable burials
The following individuals are buried in the necropolis. As the necropolis contains well over a hundred graves of varying importance, this list is only partial. Some individuals are believed to be buried here due to some historical evidence, but their tombs have not always been clearly identified (noted as "unconfirmed" below).
Eastern mausoleum:
* Muhammad al-Shaykh (d. 1557): first Saadian sultan to rule a unified Morocco, after defeating the Wattasid dynasty.
* Abdallah al-Ghalib (d. 1574): second sultan, son of Muhammad al-Shaykh, fought the Ottomans in Wadi Al-Laban.
* Abd al-Malik I (unconfirmed, d. 1578): fourth sultan, son of Muhammad al-Shaykh, fought the Portuguese in the Battle of Alcácer Quibir.
* Lalla Mas'uda (d. 1591): political figure, mother of Ahmad al-Mansur.
Western mausoleum:
* Ahmad al-Mansur (d. 1603): fifth sultan, longest-reigning Saadian, son of Muhammad ash-Shaykh, defeated the Songhai Empire and expanded south forming the Pashalik of Timbuktu.
* Lalla Aisha as-Shabaniyya (d. 1623): a wife of Ahmad al-Mansur and mother of Moulay Zidan.
* Moulay Zidan (d. 1627): son of Ahmad al-Mansur, ruler of Marrakesh during most of the succession war (1603–1627).
* Abd al-Malik II (d. 1631): first ruler of unified Saadian realm after the succession war, son of Moulay Zidan.
* Muhammad al-Shaykh al-Saghir (d. 1655): longest-reigning sultan after the succession war, son of Moulay Zidan.
Chamber of the Mihrab (attached to western mausoleum):
* Moulay al-Yazid (unconfirmed, d. 1792): Nineteenth 'Alawi sultan, son of Mohammed III.
Influence and legacy
Scholars generally view the design and decoration of the Saadian Tombs as strongly and clearly embedded in the artistic traditions of earlier Andalusi and Moroccan architecture (or "Hispano-Moorish" art). Some, such as Georges Marçais, even refer to Saadian art more generally as a "renaissance" of this style, before its relative decline in the following centuries. In addition to the use and continued elaboration of decorative techniques from the Marinid era of Morocco, the Saadian Tombs also suggest an influence from Nasrid antecedents in Granada, Spain. The layout of the Chamber of the Twelve Columns, for example, is similar to the layout of the rawda mausoleum in the Alhambra and was later repeated in the Mausoleum of Moulay Isma'il in Meknes during the 'Alawi period. Other Nasrid influences in Saadian architecture include the two ornamental ablutions pavilions which Ahmad al-Mansur and Abdallah al-Ghalib II added to the courtyard of the Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fes, which strongly resemble the two pavilions in the Court of the Lions at the Alhambra.
The Saadian Tombs are frequently regarded as the high benchmark of Moroccan art and architecture in the Saadian period and in the post-medieval period generally, thanks to its extremely rich decoration and its "rational" arrangement of interior space. Shortly after they were "rediscovered" and made accessible to the public by French colonial authorities in 1917, they were praised by many contemporary art historians and observers who visited them. At the same time, many (Western) scholars still view the Saadian period as the beginning of a decline or of a "conservative" period in Moroccan art and architecture, during which existing styles were faithfully reproduced and imitated but few innovations were introduced.

Note
jira-cli is tested on python version 2.7
Rewrite
The project was originally written against a 3.x version of jira which only required support for the original soap rpc interface. With subsequent releases of jira the json rest api become the recommended method of communicating with a jira installation and the need to rewrite jira-cli became almost necessary given that the original implementation did not cater for a multi-protocol approach.
The original implementation was also not at all testable and provided a very flat command approach which led to numerous options and arguments being presented in a very haphazard manner.
As of version 2.0.0-pre the command line interface is implemented using :mod:`argparse` which allows for a cleaner separation of commands. Furthermore, the interaction with the jira installation has been re-written so that a factory can be used to load the appropriate bridge - thus supporting both the legacy soap rpc and the new json rest interfaces.

California Gov. Brown jabs at Trump in final state of state address
January 25, 2018 / 9:12 PM / Updated 15 minutes ago California Gov. Brown jabs at Trump in final state of state address Sharon Bernstein 3 Min Read
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - California Governor Jerry Brown on Thursday delivered his 16th and final State of the State address, jabbing at U.S. President Donald Trump while noting his own success rebuilding the budget, boosting education and fighting climate change.
Spry and vigorous, three months short of his 80th birthday, the Democrat promised to use his final year in office to continue advancing policies that have positioned the state as a counterweight to the populist conservatism of Trump and the Republican-dominated U.S. Congress.
“Our world, our way of life, our system of governance - all are at immediate and genuine risk,” Brown told state lawmakers, referring to Trump’s environmental policies, his rhetoric over North Korea’s nuclear program and other issues.
A lawyer and former seminarian, Brown criticized Trump and Republican climate skeptics for limiting U.S. involvement in efforts to combat climate change.
“Despite what is widely believed by some people in Washington, the science of climate change is not in doubt,” Brown said. “All nations agree except one, and that is solely because of one man, our President.” California Governor Jerry Brown delivers his final state of the state address in Sacramento, California, U.S., January 25, 2018. REUTERS/Fred Greaves
Brown has taken the helm of the state four times in his long career, once during the tumultuous 1970s and more recently for two terms beginning in 2011. In between, he served as Attorney General and mayor of Oakland.
California’s fiscal position has improved dramatically since 2011, when the state suffered a $27 billion budget gap. By contrast, during Brown’s final budget address earlier this month, he proposed to add more than $5 billion to the state’s rainy day fund to better prepare for a future economic downturn.

Brown said California “has led the way” in strides to fight climate change, such as passing new appliance standards, incentives for fuel-efficient vehicles, and the country’s only functioning cap-and-trade market.
He made it clear he did not plan to spend his last year as a lame duck, instead promising to set up a task force to find ways to avoid and recover from wildfires that have devastated the state, and continue building controversial projects like a high speed rail line through the state’s Central Valley breadbasket.
Republican assemblyman Brian Dahle said he was pleased the governor had balanced the budget but opposed the high speed rail project and a recent increase in gasoline taxes. He said the state was too expensive, and the budget only improved because of higher taxes. Additional reporting by Robin Respaut in San Francisco; Editing by Andrew Hay

What Does pH-Balanced Mean?
It’s common to see the words “pH-balanced” on the packaging for personal care and skin care products. But do you know how pH applies to the products you use on your skin? More importantly, should you even care? We believe you should – and here’s why:
A Brief Explanation of the pH Scale
The pH scale is a system of measurement used in chemistry to indicate a substance’s degree of acidity or alkalinity. The scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline (basic). At the center of the scale, at 7, is where you’ll find neutral solutions, such as pure water, which is neither an acid nor a base. Because of the effects acids and bases can have on the objects with which they interact, the pH scale is a very important concept in many sciences.
The Acid Mantle
Skin is naturally coated in a thin layer of mild acids that form a protective barrier. Called the “acid mantle,” this layer on the surface of the skin is secreted by the sebaceous glands and prevents the growth of bacteria on the skin, as well as the entry of pathogens into the blood stream. The acid mantle also keeps our skin smooth, hydrated, and flexible.
Because of the acid mantle, the natural pH of the epidermis (the outer layer of skin) is acidic, sitting slightly below 5 on the pH scale. Most individuals will find, however, that their skin pH tends to be a bit less acidic, falling somewhere between 5 and 6. This is because various factors impact the acid mantle, including use of soaps and other products that touch our skin; environmental factors, such as pollution; diet and more. As the acid mantle deteriorates, the skin experiences increased trans-epidermal water loss and, with that, becomes prone to dryness and irritation. In cases where the acid mantle has been significantly diminished, the skin is also more susceptible to issues like eczema and dermatitis, as well as infections. What’s more, collagen begins to break down, leading to wrinkles and sagging.
pH and Skin Aging
Speaking of wrinkles, there's reason to believe that keeping your skin's pH in balance could help to prevent the signs of aging. According to a study in the British Journal of Dermatology, baseline images were captured of 122 women between the ages of 10-72. Eight years later their skin was again analyzed. Those whose skin was more alkaline were found to have "faster persistent wrinkling."
The pH Scale & Your Skin Care Products
Products that are pH-balanced feature a pH level similar to that of the skin and, as such, do not significantly impact the acid mantle. In general, this is a good thing, as constant use of products that are too acidic or alkaline could damage the skin. Certain products that fall outside the skin’s pH range can be beneficial, however. For example, facial cleansers and body washes that are slightly more alkaline than the skin can effectively lift dirt, makeup and oil from its surface. Exfoliators that are significantly more acidic than the skin can effectively thin the keratin layer (dead skin cells), thereby improving skin function and aesthetics. An example is Lexli AloeGlyC®, a face exfoliator with a pH range of 2.1 to 2.3. Because of the high concentration of pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera in AloeGlyC, the risk of redness is significantly minimized. It is wise, however, to bring the skin back into balance after use of these products by applying a gentle toner, such as Tone & Balance aloe vera toner.
The simple rule to follow is this: avoid, or at least minimize, the use of products that are significantly more alkaline than the skin, such as soap, which has a pH ranging between 9 and 10, and hand sanitizers, with a pH around 7. Best results come from using products with a pH of 6.5 or less. Also, be careful to not over-wash the skin and to do so with a mild cleanser specifically formulated for the face. Finally, while exfoliation is one of the most effective ways to achieve more beautiful skin, slowly work up the frequency with which you implement this step to allow your skin time to adjust. While many individuals can eventually tolerate twice-daily exfoliation with a chemical exfoliator, like AloeGlyC, some can only implement this step every other day.
Finally, if you’re curious about the pH of your skin care products, consider purchasing pH test strips. By simply dipping this type of paper into your skin care formulation, you can quickly determine where it falls on the pH scale.

Page fault notes
I have been doing some page fault analysis lately, and I decided to share what I have learned.
First, there are two basic types of page faults — soft faults and hard faults.
A hard fault is a true page fault where the operating system needs to read data in from the disk in order to satisfy the request. These are the most costly faults.
Soft faults are relatively inexpensive. These occur when a process tries to access the virtual address, and the operating system can satisfy the request without reading in the page from disk. This can happen with pages that the program wants to be zero (called ‘demand zero’ pages), when a page is written to for the first time (‘copy on write’ pages) or if the page is already in memory somewhere else. The last situation occurs if a file is memory mapped into multiple processes or into multiple locations of the same process, and one of the other file references has already caused the data to be in physical memory.
The operating system keeps data on how many page faults have happened, and what kinds of faults are occurring. Tracing these counters could be a good way to look at the performance characteristics of your application. You can use the internal NtQuerySystemInformation API to retrieve the SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION structure, which contains these counters. Unfortunately, this API is not documented, so you will need to buy a copy of Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference by Gary Nebbett if you want to do this (or search the web).
Alternatively, you can use the GetProcessMemoryInfo (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/perfmon/base/getprocessmemoryinfo.asp) API to get the page fault count for a particular process. Unfortunately, this counter does not distinguish between hard faults and soft fault. Another interesting thing to note is that this API will exclude some internal operating system faults that your application is causing.

AWS Spot Instances
This document describes how to use AWS spot instances with Determined. Spot instances can be much cheaper than on-demand instances (up to 90% cheaper, but more often 70-80%) but they are unreliable, so software that runs on spot instances must be fault tolerant. Unfortunately, deep learning code is often not written with fault tolerance in mind, preventing many practitioners from using spot instances easily. Because Determined was built with fault tolerance as a core feature, it works seamlessly when run on top of spot instances, allowing users to reduce their training costs by setting a single flag in the Cluster Configuration.
Determined handles most details of working with spot instances, but knowing how spot instances work at a high level is helpful for understanding the behavior of Determined when provisioning spot instances.
On-Demand vs Spot
The standard way to create an EC2 instance is to create an on-demand instance. On-demand instances always have the same price and once you have created one, you will keep that instance indefinitely.
The number of EC2 instances desired by customers varies over time. AWS wants to have enough hardware so that during peak usage periods, all customers are able to get as many on-demand instances as they need. This means that during non-peak periods (which is most of the time), AWS has extra hardware capacity sitting around unused. AWS makes these extra instances available to customers via the spot market as spot instances. They can be rented at a much reduced cost, but the trade-off is that, if AWS needs instances to satisfy on-demand users, they can reclaim your spot instance and give it to the on-demand user. If all available instances are in use by on-demand customers, you will not be able to launch any spot instances.
Because spot capacity depends on supply and demand, your ability to launch spot instances will vary by region/availability zone, as well as instance type. GPU instances, particularly those with the most modern GPUs, are often in high demand and they may sometimes be difficult to get as spot instances.
Spot On Determined
Because they can be reclaimed, using spot instances requires you to have good fault tolerance built into your software. Determined was built with fault-tolerance as a core feature, so using spot instances is usually as easy as setting spot: true in the master configuration.
AWS might not always have the capacity to fulfill spot requests. When AWS is out of capacity, the Determined cluster will wait until AWS has capacity and can fulfill the requests. This will be visible in the master logs.
Spot Pricing
Unlike on-demand instances, the market price of a spot instance varies. Once the spot instance has been created, the hourly cost to run that instance is constant, but if you try to create another spot instance, the price may have changed. The spot price is typically around 70% less than the on-demand price (see AWS’s spot advisor for up-to-date information), but it can technically rise as high as the on-demand price.
AWS and Determined allow you to specify the maximum price that you are willing to pay for a spot instance. If the market price is above that number, the spot instance will not be created until the price falls under your maximum price. You can set this value via the spot_max_price field in the master configuration. The market price being above your spot_max_price is another reason why Determined may not be creating spot instances when you expect it to. If this is preventing Determined from creating spot instances, this will be visible in the master logs.
Many users want to reduce costs by using spot, but have deadlines and are not willing to delay their experiments. In this case, it may be best to not set spot_max_price and pay whatever the market price is. Your mileage may vary, but at Determined, we have regularly seen 70% cost reductions when using V100s, without specifying a spot_max_price.

Love is a Drug.
Via on Oct 17, 2012
Star-crossed lovers, moonlight and roses, sleepless nights, ecstatic reunions, ah…the stuff of falling in love.
Sounds more romantic than dopamine response system, serotonin high, and oxytocin effect, right? Unless you’re a science geek, in which case you might think it obvious that falling in love is, at least in large part, a chemical process.
Physical attraction plays a pivotal role in falling in love, but there’s more to the story, since we don’t fall in love with everyone we’re attracted to. I won’t attempt to give an exhaustive account of what happens when we fall in love, instead we’ll take a brief foray into the world of drugs, sexual attraction and love.
You might be thinking of champagne, or red wine, or the joint you shared with your lover, but that’s not what I mean. I’m referring to endogenous drugs, ones that your body produces, like dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. The euphoria of falling in love can be explained (at least in part) by effects of serotonin and dopamine in the body; quite literally you get high on love.
Similar to the high that gamblers get from their addiction, cokeheads when they snort and clubbers rolling on E. As anyone whose taken E knows, it’s not called being ‘loved up’ for nothing; the high is beautiful, heart-expanding and euphoric. Exactly like being crazy in love.
Being high on Ecstasy is like being high on love because the same chemicals are coursing through your system: serotonin and oxytocin in particular and a little less dopamine. Although once you’ve taken E a few times, you could get a dopamine rush from the anticipation of taking it later that night and the high that will ensue, kind of like the thrill of anticipation you get when you’re looking forward to seeing your new lover later in the day.
Dopamine is part of the mesolimbic reward system, the brain’s pleasure center. Neuroscientists use the term “appetitive pleasure” to describe the feelings associated with dopamine release, it’s exciting and raises our tension level, like foreplay, or the delightful anxiety-tinged anticipation of something you know you’ll enjoy. The sensation of having butterflies in your tummy is an effect of dopamine.
When the brain’s pleasure centers are turned on everything we experience gives us pleasure, hence the euphoria of being in love and the attendant sense that everything we experience is a source of delight. Since dopamine pathways essentially become neural pathways, which are the neurophysiological substrate of memories, pleasurable experiences and associations we have during those heady days of falling in love get hardwired into our brains. This is why couples have special “our songs” that remind them of falling in love.
While dopamine is associated with the exhilaration of falling in love, oxytocin is responsible for the warm, fuzzy feelings of empathy and trust that come with intimacy and attachment. Released by the pituitary gland, oxytocin helps us form pair bonds; it’s the soft, tender afterglow of lovemaking.
Oxytocin is also released after ingesting MDMA (ecstasy), which is why people on E report experiencing increased feelings of trust, empathy and connection with others. And it’s released during uterine contractions in pregnant women and during breastfeeding to enhance the mother’s feelings of tenderness towards her baby. In fact, elevated estrogen levels during pregnancy increase oxytocin receptors in the expectant mother’s brain so that she will be flooded with maternal feelings of attachment.
Just as with dopamine, oxytocin pathways become neural pathways and their activation causes checmical release and the ensuant feeling of well being. Smells, sounds, anything that elicits a strong somatic memory can stimulate the process. So if you’re separated from your long-term partner, finding an item of clothing with their odor can be a source of comfort and ease. Same goes with hearing their voice on the telephone. Also when you have a long, tight hug with a loved one, you instantly feel better as the effects of oxytocin reverberate throughout the body.
Oxytocin increases trust and reduces anxiety and fear by inhibiting the over-zealous amygdala. The amygdala is a set of neurons that acts as the “watchdog” of the external world, monitoring sensory data to evaluate whether it represents a threat. More simply, the amygdala recognizes tigers and guns and interpersonal hostility as dangerous and transmits a chemical message to the hypothalamus gland, which in turn communicates with the autonomic nervous system, which responds by activating either the “fight or flight” or “relaxation response.”
“Fight or flight” is the body’s response to stress, we experience its affects as heightened survival mode. This isn’t the enjoyable, almost-anxiety of dopamine-drenched excitement, it’s a more of a destabilizing, disconcerting anxiety characterized by contraction and tension. By contrast, the “relaxation response” generates feeling of spaciousness, well being, ease and contentment. You know how you feel after an orgasm? That’s the relaxation response.
Our physiological states give rise to our emotional experiences. Stress hormones, like cortisol, released in stressful situations yield emotions like fear, anger and anxiety. Feel-good hormones, like dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin correlate with positive emotional states: excitement, satisfaction, empathy, open-hearted connection and trust.
Once the neural patterns are established and the emotional experiences and corresponding physiological symptoms are familiar to us, we associate them with particular situations and people. And just as we crave chemicals like caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine, we crave the positive jolt we get from being with people we love, who make us feel understood and accepted, not to mention the delicious secret frisson of excitement knowing your lover awaits followed by the balmy afterglow of love’s promise made good.
So next time you crave your lover’s touch, the soft caress of their voice, the warmth of their embrace, know that you’re in good company. Like addicts everywhere you’re in thrall to the very real physiological and emotional effects of chemicals flowing through your body.
As Robert Palmer said:
Your lights are on, but you’re not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes.
You like to think that you’re immune to the stuff…oh yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough
You know you’re gonna have to face it
You’re addicted to love.

I guess this also explains why break ups feel like it is the end of the world . Thanks for this , very interesting. Not even love can escape the tentacles of science , which is awesome! 8)

Great stuff, Dearbhla! Thoroughly enjoyed the humour and clarity in the way you have presented the 'chemistry' of love and the feel good factor! Keep going! The very best to you.
4. ASH says:
Daniel Amen wrote a book I re read from time to time about this exact topic, "The Brain in Love" but its all pretty big words and not quite as sexy as your piece here. I enjoyed this very much and could keep up with all the chemical talk as well. I am sharing it with a few of my "drug dealers". Namaste.
5. […] Oxytocin is known as the bonding hormone. At birth, this hormone is released by the mother and it literally bonds the parents and child for life. […]
6. […] Falling in love is like a big bang reaction inside of you creating entire new worlds that you get at… Worlds in which the two of you are doing all sorts of amazing things together. […]

James Hervey Johnson
James Hervey Johnson (August 2, 1901 in Oregon - August 6, 1988 in San Diego, California) was an American atheist freethinker, writer and editor of The Truth Seeker (founded 1873), formerly run by Charles Lee Smith.
Early years
Born in Oregon, his family moved to San Diego in his youth. He attended the San Diego Army-Navy Academy. His father was in the real estate business, and he became a partner. By age 30 he was a self-made millionaire. In the 1930s Johnson was elected county tax assessor, but lost reelection when he advocated the taxation of churches.
Freethought leader
After becoming a freethinker early in life, Johnson became prominent in the San Diego area Freethought movement, eventually hosting annual dinners in honor of his heroes Robert Green Ingersoll and Thomas Paine. He was also a fan of ex-Roman Catholic priest Freethought and Rationalist writer Joseph McCabe, and stocked his large collection of Little Blue Books from Girard, Kansas.
The Truth Seeker
After contributing to the periodical The Truth Seeker for decades, Johnson helped Smith relocate from New York City in 1964, then took over the ailing magazine after Smith's October 26, 1964 death, systematically driving its circulation further down through sloppy editing and shabby publication practices, mainly using it to promote and sell a warehouse of books printed in past decades. Although very wealthy, his entire operation put up the appearance of near-bankruptcy, mainly because he was a tightwad and misanthrope, according to journalist Mimi Swartz, and would never trust anybody else to manage his magazine, and only trusted a few people other than himself to write articles for it.
White supremacist, Antisemitic, and Anti-Zionist views
As with Smith and Smith's cousin Woolsey Teller, Johnson was a white supremacist, and was also antisemitic and anti-Zionist, always referring to Israel as "the bandit state of Israel".
AAAA vs. American Atheists and Madalyn Murray O'Hair
Johnson also took over the American Association for the Advancement of Atheism (AAAA) from Smith, but his continued promotion of white supremacy caused its membership to stay low during the heyday of the American civil rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, permitting his archrival Madalyn Murray O'Hair (who gained fame in 1963 with the U.S. Supreme Court decision to ban Bible reading in public schools) to build the membership of her organization American Atheists. In 1983 after years of acrimony (he liked to call her a foul-mouthed immoral disgrace to the movement), and several unsuccessful attempts to get money from him, she angrily wrote him “You are a dying, defunct, discredited old man who will grow moldy in an unmarked grave.”
Natural health and other views
Johnson was also a Naturopathy advocate, which he called "Natural Hygiene", touting the health value of raw milk, vegetarianism, etc., denying the Germ theory of disease, and selling books on the subject, considering all medical doctors quacks and refusing to seek medical help for a large tumor on his face that developed in the 1960s. Fluent in Spanish, he loved to take long walks into Mexico, and usually employed Spanish-speaking help. He held paranoid views about Jews, blacks, and lawyers, and his ignorance about Jews was often demonstrated in his writings, and off-the-record comments, such as that Kosher food is unhealthy.
Murder and arson attempts and automobile accident
Once in the late 1960s or early 1970s an African-American man came to the company headquarters in downtown San Diego, California (which had a large and growing minority and African-American population) with a Molotov cocktail to burn him out for his hate literature, but went in and repented and apologized. On October 3, 1981, however, somebody else set fire to it while he was sleeping there, burning it to the ground and destroying the large library left by Smith. It was while crossing the street in front of the ruins of his headquarters to his rented apartment on October 14, 1981 that he was run over, after which he spent several weeks in a Roman Catholic hospital while his property was looted. He eventually received a $50K settlement from the automobile insurance company.
Later years
After the accident, he never fully recovered his health, and on the advice of friends dropped the white supremacist and antisemitic articles, concentrating on Atheism and Freethought, including a campaign against male circumcision. In 1984 after circulation dropped to 300, he ceased his publication of The Truth Seeker.
Death and war over his estate
On August 6, 1988 while trying to soak away his many pains, Johnson died of a heart attack in his bathtub in his apartment in downtown San Diego of massive atherosclerosis, leaving a $14 million estate, with instructions to hold no funeral service, and establish the James Hervey Johnson Charitable Educational Trust, to "expose religion as against reason and to publicize my views on religion and health." He died after Madalyn Murray O'Hair staged a coup at a sham stockholders meeting in 1987 and began an unsuccessful court battle to claim it, even though he detested her and her claim was found legally groundless because his estate was based on his own personal wealth and investments, not profits from the company, which operated at a loss. In 1988 he countersued her for $7 million, accusing her of racketeering, but died before it could be resolved. In 1994 the trial ended in favor of O'Hair, but she feared a reversal on appeal, and began secreting assets before her tragic 1995 murder. After a nasty fight, Johnson's estate went to his personal friend Bonnie Lange, who continued publication of the Truth Seeker, promptly dropping his white supremacist and antisemitic programs; however, printed publication became sporadic after 1997.
Quotes
* "To Theists, the Universe proves the existence of God. To Atheists, the only thing the Universe proves is the Universe."
* "Man is a product of nature, a part of the Universe. The Universe is operated under exact natural laws. Man is a product of millions of years of evolution. He adapts himself to the laws of nature or he perishes."
* "Intelligent men do not decide any subject until they have carefully examined both or all sides of it. Fools, cowards, and those too lazy to think, accept blindly, without examination, dogmas and doctrines imposed upon them in childhood by their parents, priests, and teachers, when their minds were immature and they could not reason."

* Superior Men (1949)
* There Is No God (1952)

Emacs, elgot, xref, and standard lib
Hi there, is there a way to navigate to symbols in the std lib using xref? So I'm happily coding and I think "remind me what the Array methods are" so I want to type "M-x xref-somethingArray" and up pops Array. What magic do I replace ref-something with?
This works perfectly if I type Array in a .rs file in the main buffer, put my point on it, and navigate to it that way (C-h . or M-.), but I don't want to have to type the code first.
Is there a way of navigating the std lib from the command line?
Thanks!
With the LSP workspace symbol search, you can type Whatever* and it will search in all dependencies. With lsp-mode, that would be the lsp-ido-workspace-symbol or lsp-ivy-workspace-symbol command. I don't use eglot, so I don't know how it exposes this functionality (but the * thing is a rust-analyzer function and should work with every client).

unfortunately that doesn't seem to work (C-u M-x xref-find-definitions<cr>Option*<cr>) shows "No definition found for Option*.
I'll keep playing - I might cave in and install one of the completion frameworks (Company or Vertico?) to see if that can do any magic for me...
Ah! It is *Option not Option* ;-). Thanks for the nudge @fdiebold
Both should work (RA just looks for a * anywhere in the string), but maybe xref strips it away at the end or something like that.

Stackstorm on Redhat open shift v4.3
Does stackstorm support on Redhat OpenShift v4.3? Does anyone install stackstorm on open shift cluster? I hit some mongodb and rabbitmq database connection issue. Can anyone help?
StackStorm HA Helm chart was tested and officially works only on native K8s so far, see the Requirements section: GitHub - StackStorm/stackstorm-ha: K8s Helm Chart (βeta!) that codifies StackStorm (aka "IFTTT for Ops" https://stackstorm.com/) Highly Availability fleet as a simple to use reproducible infrastructure-as-code app
We’ve seen some community members were able to run it in other environments like OpenShift by lifting the security limits that OpenShift sets and modifying the Helm chart templates, but we don’t know the details. You should dig deeper and know what you’re doing if you’d like to go that path.
For example, stackstorm-ha relies on official 3rd party Helm charts for MongoDB-ReplicaSet and RabbitMQ-HA. You might need to dig deeper and make sure those are running first.
Thanks for your reply.

82 "I know you like these things when you can have them without trouble. Confess you do."
"Yes, when they come to me as easily as the light does," said Piero, folding his arms and looking down at the sweetmeats as Romola uncovered them and glanced at him archly. "And they are come along with the light now," he added, lifting his eyes to her face and hair with a painter's admiration, as her hood, dragged by the weight of her veil, fell backward.
"But I know what the sweetmeats are for," he went on; "they are to stop my mouth while you scold me. Well, go on into the next room, and you will see I've done something to the picture since you saw it, though it's not finished yet. But I didn't promise, you know: I take care not to promise:
The door opening on the wild garden was closed now, and the painter was at work. Not at Romola's picture, however. That was standing on the floor, propped against the wall, and Piero stooped to lift it, that he might carry it into the proper light. But in lifting away this picture, he had disclosed another—the oil-sketch of Tito, to which he had made an important addition within the last few days. It was so much smaller than the other picture that it stood far within it, and Piero, apt to forget where he had placed anything, was not aware of what he had

Thripp sighed, and then swore.
"Well, we have both had our certificates suspended," said Jordan bitterly, "so what can we expect? Men like us are every owner's dogs, and they know it. I'm half a mind to quit."
"I've got a wife," said Thripp, "and I can't put the poor old girl in the workhouse."
Jordan had never been married, and was glad of it now.

Plurisubharmonic function
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Jump to: navigation, search
A real-valued function , , of complex variables in a domain of the complex space , , that satisfies the following conditions: 1) is upper semi-continuous (cf. Semi-continuous function) everywhere in ; and 2) is a subharmonic function of the variable in each connected component of the open set for any fixed points , . A function is called a plurisuperharmonic function if is plurisubharmonic. The plurisubharmonic functions for constitute a proper subclass of the class of subharmonic functions, while these two classes coincide for . The most important examples of plurisubharmonic functions are , , , , where is a holomorphic function in .
For an upper semi-continuous function , , to be plurisubharmonic in a domain , it is necessary and sufficient that for every fixed , , , there exists a number such that the following inequality holds for :
The following criterion is more convenient for functions of class : is a plurisubharmonic function in if and only if the Hermitian form (the Hessian of , cf. Hessian of a function)
is positive semi-definite at each point .
The following hold for plurisubharmonic functions, in addition to the general properties of subharmonic functions: a) is plurisubharmonic in a domain if and only if is a plurisubharmonic function in a neighbourhood of each point ; b) a linear combination of plurisubharmonic functions with positive coefficients is plurisubharmonic; c) the limit of a uniformly-convergent or monotone decreasing sequence of plurisubharmonic functions is plurisubharmonic; d) is a plurisubharmonic function in a domain if and only if it can be represented as the limit of a decreasing sequence of plurisubharmonic functions of the classes , respectively, where are domains such that and ; e) for any point the mean value
over a sphere of radius , where is the area of the unit sphere in , is an increasing function of that is convex with respect to on the segment , if the sphere
is located in , in which case ; f) a plurisubharmonic function remains plurisubharmonic under holomorphic mappings; g) if is a continuous plurisubharmonic function in a domain , if is a closed connected analytic subset of (cf. Analytic set) and if the restriction attains a maximum on , then on .
The following proper subclasses of the class of plurisubharmonic functions are also significant for applications. A function is called strictly plurisubharmonic if there exists a convex increasing function , ,
such that is a plurisubharmonic function. In particular, for one obtains logarithmically-plurisubharmonic functions.
The class of plurisubharmonic functions and the above subclasses are important in describing various features of holomorphic functions and domains in the complex space , as well as in more general analytic spaces [1][4], [7]. For example, the class of Hartogs functions is defined as the smallest class of real-valued functions in containing all functions , where is a holomorphic function in , and closed under the following operations:
) , imply ;
) , for every domain , imply ;
) , , imply ;
) , imply ;
) for every subdomain implies .
Upper semi-continuous Hartogs functions are plurisubharmonic, but not every plurisubharmonic function is a Hartogs function. If is a domain of holomorphy, the classes of upper semi-continuous Hartogs functions and plurisubharmonic functions in coincide [5], [6].

Comments
A function is strictly plurisubharmonic if and only if the complex Hessian is a positive-definite Hermitian form on .
The Hessian has also an interpretation for arbitrary plurisubharmonic functions . For every , can be viewed as a distribution (cf. Generalized function), which is positive and hence can be represented by a measure. This is in complete analogy with the interpretation of the Laplacian of subharmonic functions.
However, in this setting one usually introduces currents, cf. [a2]. Let denote the space of compactly-supported differential forms on of degree in and degree in (cf. Differential form). The exterior differential operators , and are defined by:
The forms in the kernel of are called closed, the forms in the image of are called exact. As , the set of exact forms is contained in the set of closed forms. A -form is called positive of degree if for every system of -forms , , the -form , with and the Euclidean volume element.
Let , . A -current on is a linear form on with the property that for every compact set there are constants such that for and , where . The operators are extended via duality; e.g., if is a -current, then . Closed and exact currents are defined as for differential forms. A -current is called positive if for every system of -forms as above and for every ,
A -form gives rise to a -current via integration: . A complex manifold of dimension gives rise to a positive closed -current on , the current of integration along :
The current of integration has also been defined for analytic varieties in (cf. Analytic manifold): one defines the current of integration for the set of regular points of on and shows that it can be extended to a positive closed current on . A plurisubharmonic function is in , hence identifies with a -current. Therefore is a -current, which turns out to be positive and closed. Conversely, a positive closed -current is locally of the form . The current of integration on an irreducible variety of the form , where is a holomorphic function with gradient not identically vanishing on , equals .

What Should Be In Our Minds About Anaemia.
tonuicherurobert
By tonuicherurobert | self meida writer
Published 13 days ago - 29 views
Anaemia describes the condition in which the number of red blood cells blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood is low.Doctors sometimes describes it as having low blood count,howhever there are the maiun causes.The main causes of anaemia are;
1.BLOOD LOSS
This is the most common cause of anaemia especially iron-defficiency anaemia.Blood loss can be short term or persist overtime.Heavy menstrual periods or bleeding in the digestive or urinary tract.Surgery,trauma,or cancer can cause blood loss.If a lot of blood is lost,the body may lose enough red blood cells to cause anaemia.
2 Lack of red blood cells production
Both acquired and inherited conditions and factors can prevent your body from making enough red blood cells.Acquired means you are not born with the condition,but youdevelop it.Inherited means your parents passed the gene for the condition on to you.Acquired conditions and factors that can lead to anaemia include poor diet ,abnormal hormone levels,sanaemia
onic(ongoing) diseases,and pregnancy.
3 Diet
A diet that lacks iron,folic acid(folate),or vitamin B12 can prevent your body from making enough red blood cells.Your body also needs small amount of vitamin C,riboflavin and copper to your body to absorb nutrients also can prevent your body from making enough red blood cells.
4HORMONES
Your body needs the hormone erythropoietin(eh-rith-ro-POY-eh-tin)to make red blood cells.This hormoneimu stimulates the bone marrow to make these cells.A low level of this hormone can lead to anaemia.
5 Diseases and Disease treatments
Chronic diseases, like kidney disease and cancer,can make it hard for your body to make enough red blood cells.Some cancer treatments may damage bone marrow or damage the red blood cells ability to carry oxygen.If the bone marrow is damaged,it can not make red blood cells fast enough to replace the ones that die or are destroyed.People who have HIV/AIDS may develop anaemia due to infections or medicines used to treat their diseases.
6 Pregnancy
Anaemia can occur during pregnancy due to low levels of iron and folic acid and changes in the blood.During the first 6 months of pregnancy the fluid portion of a woman blood(plasma)increases faster than the number of red blood cells.This dillutes the blood and can lead to anaemia.
7 Aplastic Anemia
Some infants are born without the ability to make enough red blood cells.This conditon is called aplastic anemia.Infants and children who have aplastic anemia often need blood transfusions to increase the number of red blood cells in their blood .Acquired conditions or factors, such as certain medicines,toxins,and infectious diseases,also can cause aplastic anaemia.
8 High rates of red blood cell destruction
Both acquired and inherited conditions and factors can cause your body to destroy too many red blood cells.One of an acquired conditions is an enlarge or diseased spleen.The spleen is an organ that remove wornout red blood cells from the body.If the spleen is enlarged or diseased,it may remove more red blood cells than normal,causing anaemiaanaemia
Types of anaemia
1 Iron deficiency anemia- usually occur due to chronic blood loss caused by excessive menstruation or increase in demands for iron such as during fetal growth in pregnancy.
2 Aplastic anemia- blood disorder in which the body's bone marrow does not make enough new blood cell.This may result in a number of health problems like enlarge heart or heat failure
3Hemolytic anemia- condition in which red blood cells are destroyed and remove from the blood stream before their normal lifespan is up.
4Thalassemia- are inherited blood disorders in which cause the body to make fewer healthy red blood cells and less haemoglobin .Alpha and beta thesalamia are the types.si
4 sickle cell anaemia-seriuos disease in which the body makes sickle shaped red blood cells
5 Pernicious anaemia -condition in which the body can not make enough healthy red blood cells because it does not have enough vitamin B12.People with this disease cannot absorb enough vitamin B12 due to lack of intrinsic factor.
6 Fanconi Anaemia-An inherited disorder that leads to bone marrow failure.It is a type of plastic anemia that prevents your bone marrow from making enough new red blood cells for your body to work normally.
Symptoms
fatigue,weakness ,shortness of breath,looking pale,decresed energy,palpitations,lighy headedness.
symptom of severe anemia
Chest pain,heart attack,dizinnes ,rapid heart rate,fainting or passing out.
Some symptoms that may indicate anemia in an individual
1.A yellow skin usually called jaundice.
2.An enlargement of the spleen with certain causes of anaemia.
3.A pale or cold skin
4.Change in stool colour eg black and tarry stools .
Treatment
Treatment entails treating the condition of low haemoglobin and red blood cells as well detecting and treating the disease process that has led to the anaemia .Unless underlying cause of anaemia which may be continous blood loss ,homolytic anaemia ,iron deficiency or increase demand state like pregnancy are assed and managed.
1 Iron deficiency involve taking iron supplements and making changes to your diet.If the underlying cause of iron deficiency is loss of blood other than from menstruation the source of bleeding should be located and stopped and this may involve surgery.
2 vitamin deficiency -involve treatment for folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiency involves dietary supplements and increasing these nutrient in your diet.If your digestive system has a trouble absorbing vitamin B12 from the food you may receive the shots everyday.Eventually you will need the shots fast once a month which may help stimulate red blood cells production and ease fatigue.
3.Hemolytic anaemia-Avoiding suspect medication treating related infection and taking drugs that supresses your immune system,which may be attacking your red blood cells.Depending on the severity of your anaemia ,ablood transfusion or plasmaphoresis may be necessary.
4.No specific treatments for anaemia of chronic disease.Doctors focus on treating the underlying disease if the symptoms become severe ,blood transfusion or injections of synthetic erythropoietin a hormone normally produced by your kidneys may help stimulate red blood cells production and ease fatique.
5.Plastic blood transfusions to boost levels of red blood cells.
6 Anaemia associated with bone marrow disease - treatment of various disease can include medication and chemotherapy.
Prevention
1 Eat a diet rich in iron.
2 Cook using iron pots and pans
3 Take vitamin B12 and folate supplements
4 Consume food containing vitamin B12.
Anaemia diet
Anaemia is caused by low level s of haemoglobin in the blood which is in turn caused by low level of iron or vitamin B12 in the body.Refined foods such as white bread,sugar and desert can determine the body of iron unless iron rich food should be included in the diet.Apart from being rich in iron it should also be balanced and nutritious one.The diet should emphasize on raw fruits and vegetables that are rich in iron that will also supply the body with other essential vitamins and minerals.
Diet chart
The first five days of special, anaemic patients should be devoted exclusively to fresh fruits .During this period three meals should consist of fresh fruits taken at five hourly intervals .Thereafter a diet of fresh fruits and milk should Be followed for the next days.The only difference during this period is the addition of milk to each meal of fruit starting with 2 points of milk everyday and moving up to four or five pints everyday in a half pints increases .Thereafter a well balanced diet consisting of fruits,vegetables,whole grains seed and nuts can be followed .
Food to include
Fruits,vegetables,herbs,seed,nuts and meat that are rich in iron ,vitamin B12 ,folic acid and Vitamin C
Fruits to be taken
Bananas,Apples,peas ,dark grave,apricots
Vegetables
Spinach ,green onion,squash,carrots,beetroot
others that are rich in iron like;
Whole wheat,brown rice,soyabeans,sun flower,beans
Food to avoid
Those that interefere with the absorption of iron ,or cause iron depletion .They include drinks such as coffee,and tea and foods such as bran,egg white,white Bread,sugar and desserts.
Drug instructions.Do not consume iron supplements along with calcium supplements and antibiotics.It can be consumed along with multivitamin such as vitamin B,C.It is good to consume iron tablets with fruit juices such as orange for better absorption.

Soccer: Morgan nets 100th goal as USWNT tops Australia
Alex Morgan scored her 100th international goal and substitute Mallory Pugh scored twice when the U.S. Women’s National Team rallied to defeat Australia 5-3 in a friendly at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo., on Thursday. Megan Rapinoe broke a 2-2 tie in the 61st minute with a strike from 22 yards out for her 44th goal. Pugh, from Highland Ranch, Colo., replaced Rapinoe and her first touch extended the lead to 4-2 in the 67th minute with Emily Sonnett earning her second assist. Samantha Kerr’s header pulled Australia to a 4-3 deficit in the 81st minute but Pugh chipped in the insurance goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Morgan opened the scoring in the 14th minute to become the 17th woman to reach the century mark. She is tied for sixth on the all-time U.S. list with Tiffeny Milbrett and has 27 goals in her past 32 matches. She has scored in 70 of her 159 games, with the U.S. going 60-0-10. Morgan controlled an overhead ball by bodying defender Clare Polkinghorne. She dribbled the left flank toward the top of the penalty area before making a cutback on defender Alanna Kennedy to create space for the shot from 16 yards that went into the far netting. Lisa De Vanna made it 1-1 in the 29th minute from the left side following a layoff by Caitlin Foord. The U.S responded but couldn’t break the deadlock. Ellie Carpenter cleared a shot by Rapinoe in the 32nd minute; goalkeeper Lydia Williams denied Colorado native Lindsey Horan in the 34th and Rose Lavelle a minute later. Foord gave Australia a 2-1 lead in the 47th minute, but the U.S. got the equalizer six minutes later with Tobin Heath’s header. The U.S. has three more friendlies before the start of the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France in June, beginning with Belgium on Sunday at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles. —Field Level Media

Can tendons be moved?
How do you fix a moved tendon?
Generally, during tendon repair a surgeon will:
1. make one or more small incisions (cuts) in the skin over the damaged tendon.
2. sew the torn ends of the tendon together.
3. check the surrounding tissue to make sure no other injuries have occurred, such as injury to the blood vessels or nerves.
4. close the incision.
Can a tendon repair itself?
Tendons may heal through a conservative treatment, or may require surgery. The surgical approach involves repairing the torn tissue back to its original position (or as close as possible), with the tendon-bone or tendon-tendon attachment requiring months to be complete.
Can you move if your tendons are cut?
If you tear (rupture) or cut (sever) the tendon anywhere along its route—at the wrist, in the palm of the hand, or along the finger, you may be unable to bend your finger. If you injure the FDS tendon, you may still be able to bend the finger, but not completely, and bending the finger will be painful.
Do tendons ever fully heal?
Once a tendon is injured, it almost never fully recovers. You’re likely more prone to injury forever.”
IT IS AMAZING: You asked: How do I know if my spine is straight?
Can tendons heal without surgery?
In some cases, the affected tendon can’t heal properly without surgical intervention. This problem commonly occurs with major tendon tears. If left unattended, the tendon will not heal on its own and you will have lasting repercussions.
What helps tendons heal faster?
Continued
• Stretching and flexibility exercises to help the tendon heal completely and avoid long-term pain.
• Strengthening exercises to help you rebuild tendon strength and avoid future injuries.
• Ultrasound heat therapy to improve blood circulation, which may aid the healing process.
Will tendons grow back together?
In some cases, where the tendon ends have not moved that far, they can grow back together if your injured body part is immobilized for several weeks. In both instances you’ll have to follow a progressive rehab program to regain your full strength.
What food helps tendons heal?
The collagen that vitamin-C produces also improves the body’s ability to maintain bone, muscle, and tendons. The obvious place to start is with citrus fruits – such as oranges and grapefruits. Bell peppers, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, and kiwi also have plenty of vitamin C.
How long can you wait to repair a tendon?
If symptoms persist after 6 to 12 months, then surgery may be your best option. Complete tendon tears may require surgery much sooner, however. In some cases, a large or complete tear has a better chance of fully healing when surgery is performed shortly after an injury.
How do I know if my extensor tendon is torn?
Common signs and symptoms of extensor tendon and mallet finger injuries include:
1. Inability to straighten the fingers or extend the wrist.
2. Pain and swelling in fingertip.
3. Recent trauma or laceration to the hand.
4. Drooping of the end joint of the finger.
IT IS AMAZING: How long does a spinal MRI take?
How do you fix a Subluxed tendon?
Options include:
1. Immobilization. A cast or splint may be used to keep the foot and ankle from moving and allow the injury to heal.
2. Medications. Oral or injected anti-inflammatory drugs may help relieve the pain and inflammation.
3. Physical therapy. …
4. Bracing.
Can a tendon pop?
Tendon and ligament tears or ruptures are injuries to the soft tissues that connect muscles and joints. Common symptoms of tendon and ligament tears are pain and swelling. You may also hear or feel a pop when you tear the tissue. Treatments can include a brace, medicine, or surgical repair.
How long do tendon tears take to heal?
It may take weeks or months for a tendon injury to heal. Be patient, and stay with your treatment. If you start using the injured tendon too soon, it can lead to more damage. To keep from hurting your tendon again, you may need to make some long-term changes to your activities.

Abstract
Graphic abstract
Aims: Recent in vitro findings suggest that the serine protease Granzyme K (GzmK) may act as a proinflammatory mediator. However, its role in sepsis is unknown. Here we aim to understand the role of GzmK in a mouse model of bacterial sepsis and compare it to the biological relevance of Granzyme A (GzmA).
Methods: Sepsis was induced in WT, GzmA-/- and GzmK-/- mice by an intraperitoneal injection of 2x108 CFU from E. coli. Mouse survival was monitored during 5 days. Levels of IL-1α, IL-1β, TNFα and IL-6 in plasma were measured and bacterial load in blood, liver and spleen was analyzed. Finally, profile of cellular expression of GzmA and GzmK was analyzed by FACS.
Results: GzmA and GzmK are not involved in the control of bacterial infection. However, GzmA and GzmK deficient mice showed a lower sepsis score in comparison with WT mice, although only GzmA deficient mice exhibited increased survival. GzmA deficient mice also showed reduced expression of some proinflammatory cytokines like IL1-α, IL-β and IL-6. A similar result was found when extracellular GzmA was therapeutically inhibited in WT mice using serpinb6b, which improved survival and reduced IL-6 expression. Mechanistically, active extracellular GzmA induces the production of IL-6 in macrophages by a mechanism dependent on TLR4 and MyD88.
Conclusions: These results suggest that although both proteases contribute to the clinical signs of E. coli-induced sepsis, inhibition of GzmA is sufficient to reduce inflammation and improve survival irrespectively of the presence of other inflammatory granzymes, like GzmK.

US Stocks Set to Extend Losses
US Stocks Set to Extend LossesUnited States Stock MarketUS stock futures drifted lower on Monday as investors braced for Fed's aggressive tightening with bond yields extending the sell-off and were monitoring the situation in Ukraine and China's lockdowns. Falls have been most pronounced in tech stocks as the prospect of higher interest rates threatens to undermine their valuations with Nasdaq futures down more than 1%. Investors now await US inflation data on Tuesday for clues on the Federal Reserve's plans and the kickstart of the first-quarter earnings season, with some banks and airlines reporting earnings later this week. Meanwhile, shares of Twitter tumbled in premarket trading after CEO Parag Agrawal revealed that Elon Musk had abandoned his plan to join the company's board. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has been under pressure, falling 3.9% last week while the S&P 500 and Dow declined 1.3% and 0.3%, respectively. 2022-04-11T12:49:00

Crusade of Barbastro
The crusade of Barbastro (also known as the siege of Barbastro or battle of Barbastro) was an international expedition, sanctioned by Pope Alexander II, to take the Spanish city of Barbastro, then part of the Hudid Emirate of Lārida. A large army composed of elements from all over Western Europe took part in the siege and conquest of the city (1064). The nature of the expedition, famously described by Ramón Menéndez Pidal as "a crusade before the crusades", is discussed in historiography, and the crusading element of the campaign is still a moot point.
Expedition
Pope Alexander II first preached the Reconquista in 1063 as a "Christian emergency." It was also preached in Burgundy, probably with the permission or participation of Hugh of Cluny, where the abbot's brother, Thomas de Chalon, led the army. Certainly zeal for the crusade spread elsewhere in France, for Amatus of Montecassino notes that the "grand chivalry of the French and Burgundians and other peoples" (grant chevalerie de Francoiz et de Borguegnons et d'autre gent) was present at the siege.
Thus, a large army was present at the siege when it began in 1064 primarily of Frenchmen and Burgundians, along with a contingent of Italians, made up mostly of Normans, as well as a local Spanish army made up of Catalans and Aragonese. Later, these Catalan and Aragonese soldiers would be disgusted by the crimes committed by those Normans after the capture of the city.
The leader of the papal contingent was a Norman by the name of William of Montreuil. The leader of the Spaniards was Sancho Ramírez, King of Aragón and Navarre, whose realm was greatly threatened by the Moors to the south. The largest component, the Aquitainian, was led by Duke William VIII of Aquitaine (known as Guy-Geoffrey), whom one historian calls the "Christian generalissimo". Though the makeup of this grand army has been subject to much dispute, that it contained a large force of Frankish knights is generally agreed upon.
The duke of Aquitaine led the army through the Pyrenees at Somport. He joined the Catalan army at Girona early in 1064. The entire army then marched past Graus, which had resisted assault twice before, and moved against Barbastro, then part of the taifa of Lleida ruled by Al-Muzaffar. The city was besieged for forty days until it surrendered according to both Muslim and Christian sources.
Aside from William of Montreuil and Guy-Geoffrey, a 1078 story about the Normans placed Robert Crispin as the leader of the campaign. However, it is more likely that he was the leader of the contingent of Normans who participated in the campaign.
Consequences
Terms were given by the Christians to spare the lives of the Muslims and respect their properties, but the pact was quickly broken. Another source tells that the garrison offered to surrender their property and property of their families in exchange for letting them leave the town, and so it was agreed with the besiegers. However, the Crusaders didn't honour the treaty and killed the soldiers as they came out. Crusade soldiers plundered and sacked the city without mercy. It is said fifty thousand Muslims were killed or captured and the victors divided an enormous amount of booty. The contemporary Muslim chronicles suggest the invading forces might have slain the adult males and enslaved women and children; the numbers however are greatly exaggerated: Barbastro would hardly reach a population of eight thousand in those times.
The Andalusi Muslim jurist Ibn 'Abd al-Barr, among the witnesses of the fall of Barbastro, described the aftermath as follows:
"'What can be your opinion, Oh Muslims, when you see masajid and oratories, that once were witness to the recitation of the Qur’ān and the sweetness of the call to prayer; immersed in širk and slander, loaded with bells and crosses, in the place of the followers of ar-Raḥmān: aʼimmah and pious men, vergers and muʾaḏḏinūn...are dragged away by the kuffār like animals for sacrifice, they are brought to the butcher; they prostrate themselves humbly in the masajid which are then burnt and reduced to ashes while the kuffār laugh and insult us, and our Dīn wails and weeps.'"
The plight of women seems to have been particularly difficult as a consequence of the siege and victory of the crusaders. Many died during the siege of thirst-related diseases and were subjected to degrading treatment after victory, converting them into servants and slaves, or sometimes even exposing them to the torture of their husbands.
The crusaders made off with a huge booty. Al-Bakri's Book of Roads and Kingdoms (al-Bakrī) ('Book of Highways and Kingdoms', written 1067–8) records the capture of a good many Saracen girls and Saracen treasures. Armengol III of Urgel, the brother-in-law of King Sancho Ramírez, was entrusted with the government of the city. On 17 April 1065, after roughly ten months of occupation, the Moors easily retook the city. Thibaut, the Burgundian leader, died, possibly of wounds received on campaign, while returning to France after the loss of the city in 1065.
Historiography
Historian Reinhart Dozy first began a study of the War in the mid-nineteenth century based on the scarce primary sources, mainly Amatus and Ibn Hayyan. Dozy first suggested the participation of a papal element based on Ibn Hayyan's reference to the "cavalry of Rome." Subsequent historiography has stressed the Cluniac element in the War, primarily the result of Ferdinand I of León's recent attempts to introduce the Cluniac reform to Spain and inspired by the death of Ramiro I of Aragon following the failed siege of Graus.
This interpretation has been criticized in more recent decades, especially the papal connection and Italian involvement. It has been suggested that Alexander was preoccupied with the Antipope Cadalus at the time and did not preach a plenary indulgence for warriors of the Reconquista until the 1073 campaign of Ebles II of Roucy. It has also been theorized that it was not William of Montreuil, but Guy Geoffrey, who was the "Roman" leader implied by Ibn Hayyan.

Rh hour in learning it, we should perhaps have known whether it was the Chinese or the Malay game, or what it was; and this might have been the very clew, lost to native memory, to the connection of the Polynesians with a higher Asiatic culture in ages before a European ship had come within their coral reefs.
It remains to call attention to a point which this research into the development of games brings strongly into view. In the study of civilization, as of so many other branches of natural history, a theory of gradual evolution proves itself a trustworthy guide. But it will not do to assume that culture must always come on by regular, unvarying progress. That, on the contrary, the lines of change may be extremely circuitous, the history of games affords instructive proofs. Looking over a playground wall at a game of hockey, one might easily fancy the simple line of improvement to have been that the modern schoolboy took to using a curved stick to drive the ball with, instead of hurling it with his hands as he would have done if he had been a young Athenian of 500. But now it appears that the line of progress was by no means so simple and straight, if we have to go round by Persia, and bring in the game of polo as an intermediate stage. If, comparing Greek draughts and English draughts, we were to jump to the conclusion that the one was simply a further development of the other, this would be wrong, for the real course appears to have been that some old draught-game rose into chess, and then again a lowered form of chess came down to become a new game of draughts. We may depend upon it that the great world-game of evolution is not played only by pawns moving straight on, one square before another, but that long-stretching moves of pieces in all directions bring on new situations, not readily foreseen by minds that find it hard to see six moves ahead upon a chess-board.—Fortnightly Review.

An introduction to Cloud Computing
Cloud computing services are services provided on virtual servers towards the websites they pull computing sources from physical web servers underlying systems. The result is the computing type of utility like something than the usual product and it is comparable with gas and electricity, the standard utilities. The clients can make use of such services with respect to the website demands and have enough money the things they use.
Cloud computing has vast servers network which is mostly taken in different locations from various data centers. Practical cloud computing examples are classified underneath the (PaaS) Platform like a Service and (Iaas) Infrastructure as Service classifications.
Under IaaS choices the customer is provided virtualized hardware resource to enable them to install the program atmosphere they might require, before building web application. However, on the PaaS service, the customer will get software atmosphere, which they are able to directly install and develop their web application. Nonetheless, companies with complex experienced IT professionals also it infrastructures may go for more customizable IaaS model, but normally, may like the PaaS option that’s easy.
Cloud computing involves using public cloud models which be sure that your information is stored safe and suffices the web site installations. On the other hand, companies can look to cloud computing if security and privacy is the major concern because they use ring-fenced resourced location on the website.
An average cloud computing offers the following advantages which are the salient features:
· Reliability. It’s not located on one physical server rather the web site is on the virtual partition to attract the sources from your extensive underlying network of physical servers because of its disk space. If your server is offline, the resource level accessible towards the cloud could be very scarce, and can show no effect online whose server pursues pulling sources in the balance network of servers. Actually, the cloud platforms survive and the whole data center moving, because of pooled cloud resource that’s attracted from various data centers in different locations.
· Physical Security. The physical underlying servers are housed within data centers and therefore benefit with safety measures the facilities implement to guard individuals from disrupting or being able to access them on-site.
· Versatility and Scalability. The resource can be obtained when needed in tangible-time and isn’t limited to the server’s physical capacity or constraints. In situation, a website of the client demands additional resource in the hosting platform because of some customer traffic or new functionality implementation, the resource is seamlessly utilized. Utilizing a private cloud model, means the services are permitted to burst to ensure that sources are utilized in the public for non-sensitive processing if there’s on-site activity surge.

Open-source content management systems (CMS) are a large family of Web applications, but if we’re looking for stability, performance and average technical requirements, we’ll come up with a handful of options. In the past, choosing the “right” CMS was a matter of the project’s requirements, but now this is not completely valid because the paradigm of extensibility had driven the development of major CMS’ towards a model of core features that are extensible with plug-ins that fill virtually any requirement.
Picking the right CMS is then a matter of “mental models”: choosing the one that best fits our vision of how a Web application should work and what it should provide to users and administrators. In this article, we’ll explore the main difference in the mental models: of WordPress and Joomla for theming and extending their core.
Background Thoughts
Joomla and WordPress
WordPress and Joomla are two of the most popular open-source CMS’ around. They offer large and active developer communities and excellent documentation.
Further Reading on SmashingMag:
WordPress is the first choice among the designer community mostly because of its well-designed back end and wide availability of excellent themes.
Joomla, meanwhile, suffers from Mambo’s legacy, which was notorious for low performance and semantically incorrect output (such as nested tables for layout). But since the release of version 1.5, Joomla has a completely rewritten core, with improved extensibility and better HTML output.
One difference between WordPress and Joomla is their theming model. A website developer migrating from Joomla to WordPress might feel that the latter requires too much theme coding, while a developer moving the other way might feel that Joomla is less flexible and customizable. The reason for this is the different models on which the themes of these CMS’ are based.
WordPress’ Theming Model
WordPress Theme
WordPress’ theming model is based on a per-view structure. This means that in each theme, you could have individual view files for the post list, the single post and the archive pages. These files are independent of each other, allowing the developer to customize each view but requiring them to duplicate many parts of the code. The only common parts in a theme are the header and footer, which can be coded directly in the individual view anyway.
The main drawback of this model is that different views will not always require a different presentation (for example, the archive, category list and tag list are just lists). To overcome this problem, a theme is organized in a hierarchical structure, in which more generic views are used as fallbacks for specific ones. The common fallback for a WordPress theme is the index.php file, which is actually the only required file (along with a style sheet) in a theme. A complete reference and visual diagram of the hierarchical structure of a WordPress theme are available here.
The Loop and Template Tags
To better understand how a WordPress theme works, we need to look more closely at the “loop” and template tags.
All data for a post or a list of posts is extracted through a loop. A loop is basically a while construct that begins with this declaration:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
// post output here
<?php endif; endwhile; ?>
The most important part of this code is the_post(), which initializes a global $post PHP object containing all of the page data. The loop construct is also required for single post view, because all functions for presentation of data rely on the presence of the $post object. These functions are called template tags, and their main purpose is to output formatted data. Usually, they do not output HTML tags so that they can be used in different scenarios.
A complete guide to theme development is available here.
Joomla’s Content-Based Model
Joomla Template Configuration File
Joomla has a completely different theming approach. Joomla’s templates are built on a common structure defined in an index.php file.
This file contains both static content (i.e. content that is common throughout the website) and template tags, which serve as content place-holders and are replaced by HTML output during the page-rendering phase.
A common form for a template tag is:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="right" style="xhtml" />
Template tags differ in the type of content they provide: component, message, module, head.
This structural backbone implies that each view in the CMS outputs not a complete page but just what’s needed to present content. At first glance, a developer used to the theming model of WordPress might think that there’s no way to customize this content block. In fact, Joomla relies on the MVC architectural pattern, meaning that data extraction and presentation are separated, the latter being rendered by the view part of the application.
Template Customization
To customize the default view, Joomla has a pattern called template override, through which the system scans the template folder for a custom view file to use in place of the default one. The image below shows the folder structure and naming convention of a default view and its override.
Joomla Template override
An example of the folder and file structure of a Joomla template override (from the “ja_purity” template).
Joomla overrides are an excellent way to customize a website template without hacks. Still, they are often overlooked, and Joomla’s support of legacy extensions make this pattern unusable, even for popular packages such as Virtuemart (which uses its built-in template system).
A complete reference for Joomla’s template system is available here.
Beyond Core
Modular System
(Image by jared)
In the last few years, plug-ins have made a big difference in the software industry, one of the most notable examples being Mozilla Firefox.
As we noted, modern CMS’ are developed to be extensible, allowing us to use the core as a backbone and build specialized parts on top of it. This resulting modular design is an effective development model for many reasons:
• Better maintainability Developers don’t need to modify the core in order to add or customize functionality.
• Lightweight and safer Only features that are needed are included, resulting in less memory consumption, a smaller code base and fewer vulnerabilities.
• Separate development cycles for core and features By offering an extensions API, third-party developers can add new features while the core team focuses on the reliability and performance of the system.
With open-source projects, this last point is both a blessing and a curse. It benefits from shared development effort but leads to unverified work and a less organized workflow.
Joomla and WordPress have tried to overcome this curse by providing coding guidelines. Still, little effort is spent documenting the back-end and front-end UI design.
Aside from their different naming conventions, the extensions models of WordPress and Joomla differ in how third-party code interacts with the core by mean of the extensions API.
The key point to understand is that while Joomla is based on MVC pattern, WordPress relies on an event-like system to which extensions can be hooked. Let’s look at some details.
WordPress’ Hook Method
WordPress’ extensions model is based on the execution of a set of functions attached to the system flow by mean of “hooks.”
Hooks contain a list of functions that are triggered at various points as WordPress is running. They manipulate (in the case of filter hooks) and output (in the case of action hooks) database data and can be accessed from within the theme itself and from a specialized plug-in package.
WordPress lacks comprehensive documentation for hooks, but a list of hooks is available here.
To understand the mental model behind WordPress’ hook system, we can compare it to the sequence of actions in baking a cake. In the beginning, we have an idea of what kind of cake we want to bake, so we get our ingredients. We cannot just throw everything together and bake it. So, we execute an ordered list of actions, such as “filtering” egg shells and mixing the eggs in with flour and sugar. As we’re doing that, we might want to customize the recipe. So, we “plug in” some chocolate and perhaps reduce the quantity of another ingredient by half. The result is a proper cake, created from discrete ingredients and a touch of creativity.
WordPress bakes its pages the same way.
While plug-ins are broadly related to hooks, a widget is a special type of plug-in. It provides a means of showing information in a theme’s sidebar. The main advantage of widgets is that they are configurable in the back-end interface, allowing quick customization even for novice users.
WordPress Widgets Page
All available widgets are listed in an administration panel.
In terms of theme development, the sidebar is similar in its mental model to Joomla’s template tags. It is a placeholder for something. The misleading bit is that a sidebar doesn’t have to be placed in the actual sidebar of a layout. It could go in the footer, navigation, header or elsewhere.
To learn more about the new API for widget development, have a look at the official documentation.
Adding Functionality
Until now, the problem with WordPress’ extension API was that it gave you no simple way to add complex functionality, such as e-commerce carts and event listings. Most developers excused this shortcoming by pointing out that WordPress is a blog engine. This will hopefully be resolved with the release of WordPress 3.0 and its system for “post types,” which makes it possible to use the “post” and “page” interfaces for different types of content.
As for other popular CMS’ (such as Drupal), post types function as a kind of “Content Construction Kit,” giving you the ability to smartly add, manage and present specialized content. If you’re interested in trying this new feature, here is a good tutorial.
Other than post types (and until major plug-ins update support for this feature), the only feasible way to add complex functionality is to use already existing pages as containers, placing in the body a place-holder (called a “shortcode”) that is replaced with HTML output by specific filter hooks.
This approach is used by plug-ins such as Buddypress and WP e-Commerce, which extend the blog engine with social network and shopping-cart capabilities.
Another great example of shortcode implementation is Contact Form 7, a fully featured contact-form management plug-in.
Extending Joomla
An often overlooked aspect of Joomla is that it is built on the solid MVC framework. So, extending its core is really much like working with products such as Zend Framework and CodeIgniter, which give you an already designed back-end interface upon which to integrate your own extensions. This approach also gives designers the ability to use template overrides, even for third-party extensions.

To better understand MVC and how it works in Joomla, here is a complete reference.
Joomla’s Extension Types
Joomla’s extension model comes in three flavors, each with different tasks: components, modules and plug-ins.
Components extend the core by adding specific functionality, such as e-commerce carts, event listings and forums. From the user’s point of view, we can think of components as discrete sections of a website, not connected to other content. A popular example is JEvents, an events calendar.
In the theme system, a component’s output replaces the component placeholder in the template’s index.php file:
<jdoc:include type="component" />
Modules are like widgets in WordPress: they show a component’s information, which is extracted from the database. They are “attachable” to module positions and can be put on every page of a website.
Modules are primarily intended to be teaser blocks, but they can incorporate full text and image galleries, which makes them handy for static parts of a layout, such as footer notes. They are also useful for showing related content on a page. For example, you could highlight interesting products for Web developers as they’re browsing a list of barcamp events.
The template tag, which serves as module place-holder, looks like this:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="right" style="xhtml" />
Plug-ins work similar to WordPress’ hook system, because they bind to specific system events to format, manipulate and replace HTML output. Possible fields of action range from content for articles (such as video embedding tools—AllVideos is a popular one) to HTML filtering and user-profile extension. Commonly used Joomla plug-ins include URL rewriting filters, which come bundled with administrative components such as Sh404SEF.
Compatibility Issues
One thing every developer should be aware of is that, despite efforts to provide a great extension API, Joomla 1.5 still suffers in its support of legacy extensions (built for v1.0), which do not have an MVC structure and which are sometimes hardly customizable. Furthermore, they break the API mental model.
The Joomla extensions library has a clear mark for 1.0 or 1.5 native extensions. But faking 1.5 native compatibility is easy, which would leave developers with nothing but legacy code. This method is followed even by big well-known projects like Virtuemart.
Hopefully, once Joomla 1.6 is released and legacy support is dropped, every developer will rework their code to fit the CMS’ specifications.
What’s Next
While the best way to choose a CMS is by trying it out on a real project, understanding its underlying mental model can make developers feel less lost in code and more aware of the design patterns they need to follow.

The TV drama Outlander. A fantasy relationship. William Shatner. And the online fan war that unites them all.
Earlier this month, William Shatner, a self-professed fan of the Starz drama Outlander, entangled himself in a complicated conflict over shipping in the fandom that has been building throughout the show’s two seasons. Shipping is the common fandom practice of rooting for two characters or real-life people to get together. In this case, the ship in question involves two actors from the show. After days of heated debate with fans, the turmoil culminated in a unique move: An assistant of Shatner’s, Paul Camuso, introduced a fandom website, Outlander Anti-Bullying, which offers "good practices for being online in fandom." Camuso’s intention is to urge fans of the steamy time-traveling Highlander romance to form a "watchtower" group. The aim of this group, according to Camuso, would be to allow fans to "report targeted harassment" and provide new Outlander fans with a block list of names of established fans who engage in what Camuso describes as bullying behavior. Many people disagree with Camuso’s stated definition of fandom "cyber-bullying," partly because Camuso is a man entering a female-dominated space and telling grown women how they should or shouldn’t be fans. But he’s also specifically singling out shipping, because he apparently feels that shippers interacting with other shippers and the creators often verges into harassment — and fans aren’t comfortable letting him decide what "harassment" is. @PaulCamuso Totally against watchtower policing. Expressing an opinion is considered bullying in far too many instances. @PaulCamuso @WilliamShatner @draiochta14 @Outlander_STARZ @ChrisFParnell Think this is just a way to police people. Sorry, don't care for it This debate is the latest skirmish in an ongoing conflict surrounding bullying within the Outlander fandom, one with deep roots that touches on many layered issues: the fan-creator divide, the complexities of shipping real people connected to the show, the interaction of fans on social media, and the nature of online abuse. Above all, it involves a basic tension between fans and creators that is much larger than a single fandom. All of the Outlander fans I spoke with described the show’s fans as mostly middle-age women who are relatively new to fandom, having fallen for Starz’s adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s romantic fantasy novel series. Because the series is centered on the romance of its two main characters, Jamie and Claire, it's vital that the actors who portray them have chemistry. But Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe apparently have so much chemistry that they’ve spawned a major subset of RPF (Real Person Fiction) shippers — people who ship real-life actors and public figures. Ordinarily the designation of a ship as "RPF" — Real Person Fiction — implies that a cushiony layer of fantasy exists between you and the real-life figures you’re hoping to see become a couple; that is, you know it's all just pretend. But increasingly, as in the case of some One Direction fans’ vast gay bandmate conspiracy, fans have shown a predilection for insisting that their ship involving real people is actually happening in reality. Historically, fandom has dubbed these particular shippers "tinhatters" — and subsequently ridiculed them for their inability to accept that their ship isn't real. At the forefront of the Outlander conflict are the fandom’s tinhatters, a group that some fans have dubbed "super-shippers." Just like every other RPF ship in fandom, most of the shipping seems completely innocent and merely hyperbolic: CUPCAKES IN LOVE AND HAPPY AND GLOWING WITH SO MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS pic.twitter.com/pWC3r0TtDi Multiple shippers I spoke with asserted they don’t really believe there is some secret relationship. But from a distance, it seems there's plenty of actual hardcore belief: well Cait if you say you're seeing someone but you act like Sam's wife in public then you're doing it wrong pic.twitter.com/cTU3YTHyWB I❤️when my friendly friend keeps his arm around me at the biggest event of my life when I have another boyfriend. pic.twitter.com/YQST2fSUB1 The actors, who are each dating other people, recently negated rumors they are together and said they are "exhausted" by fans questioning them about their real-life relationship. But, as is the case with every other RPF ship, denials haven’t stopped the shippers from doing their thing. However, going beyond the obvious fact that Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe are not a real-life couple, there's another problem: Outlander fandom has raised a horde of fans who are vehemently opposed to the existence of any RPF in their midst. Many Outlander fans are deeply affronted by the existence of the Sam/Cait shippers, and particularly the behavior of those who harass the actors by insisting that Heughan and Balfe must be secretly dating. Some of these fans unironically call themselves "Truthers" because they believe in promoting the literal truth that Heughan and Balfe are not a couple. To these fans, calling out the tinhatters has essentially become a crusade. "You think Shipping doesn’t hurt anyone?" one Truther wrote on Tumblr. "Not the family, friends, SOs, fans who respect boundaries and believe the stars when they say they aren’t a couple? . . . Every SINGLE time you portray a photo or a video as an insight to a relationship, you are crossing the boundary." The idea that the mere practice of shipping crosses a line is not typical; traditionally, fans have clung to an actual imaginary line between fandom and creators. This divide, known in fandom as the fourth wall, was once part of a strict code of public silence that fans implemented in order to keep their fandom activities hidden and unknown from creators, both so they wouldn’t embarrass the creators and so the creators couldn’t attack or mock them. Historically, fans saw it as a very bad idea for creators and fans to "break the fourth wall" and start interacting with each other to any degree — let alone to start talking about shipping or fanfic. But social media platforms like Twitter, which allow fans to interact directly with creators, have totally obliterated fandom’s fourth wall. Newer fans have none of the inherent shame that used to accompany female-dominated fandoms like Outlander’s, shame that led fans and non-fans alike to treat fandom as a secret to be hidden from the rest of the world. Modern fans who generally see shipping as a totally normal hobby have no qualms about publicly voicing their support for their ship — even if the members of the ship, as is the case with Outlander, happen to be dating other people. These kinds of interactions between shippers and the subjects of their ship occasionally get really awkward. But in Outlander fandom, they’ve spawned an outright ideological war. Fans from both "sides" of the debate between the Sam/Cait shippers and those who oppose them have repeatedly accused one another of harassing, doxing and threatening to dox fans from the other side, while sometimes actually threatening to dox one another. Each side accuses the other of being the more abusive one; meanwhile, the back-and-forth between them is vicious. To an extreme degree, the two factions seem to have utterly lost the ability to simply leave one another alone. Put bluntly, despite the enthusiasm that many Outlander fans have for the show, its fandom has become an incredibly toxic environment. As fans speaking for one faction or the other have appealed to Outlander’s cast and crew on Twitter, Balfe, Heughan, and a few others have attempted to moderate the drama. Recently, after Camuso became close with some Outlander cast members, he tweeted a statement confirming that Heughan and Balfe were not a couple, which he ultimately deleted after inciting backlash from shippers who questioned him or claimed he was lying. Then, Shatner waded into the fray, claiming that his friends, Camuso and Heughan, were being bullied by Sam/Cait shippers: After what I've seen and read in the past two days it's time to call the CaitSam ship the Titanic! Why should I? You and your group terrorize the fandom. https://t.co/kWPgAT2o7O And they are not dating so stop shaming them for being good friends in real life. https://t.co/JTWa9wjmW8 Shatner began retweeting and sharing screencaps from shippers he felt were harassing members of the cast and crew. He also advised fans to block and report harassment, stating that his goal was to "empower" fans and provide tools to help them deal with bullying in fandom. But plenty of fans rushed to point out that Shatner had tacitly sicced his 2 million Twitter followers on specific members of the Outlander fandom. FTR what's going on is not about shipping & whether or not it's ok. It's ab one person with "power" trying to kick a group out of the fandom Shatner, who is close friends with Heughan, claimed that Heughan in particular was aware of "bullying" tweets directed at him, and that Heughan was also aware of Shatner’s Twitter call to arms. Subsequently, many fans blamed Heughan for not standing up for them against what they saw as Shatner’s harassment. Shatner threatened many of those shippers, though he also noted that "bullies on both sides should be reported." He then called for peace — but several days later, he and the fandom were all still going strong. A fan who says she phoned Starz to complain about the treatment of shippers at the hands of Shatner and Camuso stated on June 15 in a now-private tweet that the network was listening to fans and preparing "a formal statement." But many Outlander fans continued to believe the entire situation was a mess of the shippers’ own making. On June 9, Shatner stated his "team" is "working on a bigger bullying project." When asked whether Camuso’s anti-bullying website is the project Shatner was referring to, Camuso told me it isn’t, and that his site had been instead created in response to "a specific request to help with bullying in the Outlander fandom." "The ideas in that site are common sense put together by me," Camuso said, adding that the project Shatner had in mind is something larger "that’s been in the works for months." But however well-intentioned Camuso’s efforts may be, many fans have bristled at the idea of a fandom watchdog community. Many have pointed out that allowing a group of third-party fans to judge what might be construed as harassment is fodder for trouble. "Whatever his motive is," wrote one fan on Tumblr in response to Camuso’s initiative, "even with the best of intentions, this blog represents censorship with a big fancy bow wrapped around it." It encourages people to report bad behavior in the form of a 140-character message that might be perceived as "bullying" by someone else, whether they are directly tagged or not. It bypasses the policies published by Twitter in lieu of Outlander-specific guidance that has been vetted by the proprietor of this blog. It encourages people to police and report each other. And ultimately it has the effect of quashing a little First Amendment edict that includes the ability to have free speech. There is some historical cause for concern. In other parts of fandom, watchdog groups that purport to police bullying have turned out to be purveyors of bullying themselves: Witness "Stop the Goodreads Bullies," an anonymous watchdog group formed from authors indignant over negative reviews they’d received from fans on the book reviews website as well as on Amazon. The group was so famous for perpetuating bullying itself that it sparked a debate over whether one-star reviews could really constitute "bullying," and spawned a wave of counter sites and protest from authors and critics. But while the aforementioned idea of a blacklist is already wildly unpopular, the rest of Camuso’s website seems to fill a great need. Shatner’s edict to fans to "just learn the tools to deal with bullies and your fandom will be at peace" seems like pretty vital advice. Even without the assistance of a "watchtower" group, Outlander fans seem particularly primed to benefit from learning how to effectively filter one's fandom participation with the goal of avoiding drama: How to mute and block fans with dissenting opinions and report fans who engage in harassment; how to make use of locked Twitter accounts and how to blacklist incendiary keywords and tags on Tumblr; and above all, how to master the discipline needed to simply never, ever respond to or engage the haters. Outlander was just renewed for another two seasons at Starz, but to a large extent, all of this turmoil seems to have overshadowed fans’ celebration of the news. Meanwhile, emphasis on the actors’ fictional real-life ship seems to have completely overtaken some fans’ love for their fictional counterparts, Jamie and Claire. lol what the fuck ever you two. not gonna stop shippin soooo ✌ ️ pic.twitter.com/h6VBnRWB2k Ultimately, it seems that restoring peace to the fandom and giving the Sam/Cait shippers and their detractors some common ground might be worth an anti-bullying website or two — especially if such websites and anti-bullying efforts could be spearheaded by actual members of fandom rather than by men largely perceived as outsiders. Because with two more seasons to go, it seems as though Outlander fandom has time to get a lot worse before it gets better.

The International Ultraviolet Explorer ( IUE ), also Explorer 57 , was a space telescope for astronomical observations in the ultraviolet range of electromagnetic radiation.
overview
IUE was a joint project of NASA , ESA and the UK SERC and was launched into geosynchronous orbit on January 26, 1978 with a Delta 2914 rocket . Instead of the originally planned three to five years, IUE was in operation until September 30, 1996. By then, four of the original six control gyroscopes had failed, but the telescope was still operational with reduced efficiency. The final failure of the control elements was not waited for, IUE was previously taken out of service, essentially for financial reasons, by being switched off by radio command in September 1996. It was one of the most successful and effective space telescopes.
Launch of IUE on a Delta rocket
technology
IUE had a relatively small telescope with a primary mirror diameter of 45 cm. IUE did not have a camera, the instruments were two spectrographs for wavelengths between 115 and 320 nm with a spectral resolution of 0.01 nm and 0.6 nm respectively. Over 104,000 spectra of various astronomical objects were obtained. IUE was operated from two ground stations in the US and Spain. In contrast to many other space telescopes, it could be controlled directly by the observing astronomers .
A variety of questions were investigated with the spectra of IUE, for example
As an ultraviolet observatory, IUE was the direct forerunner of the Hubble space telescope .

To Close Digital Divide, Microsoft to Harness Unused Television Channels
WASHINGTON — Silicon Valley has dreamed up hot air balloons, drones and constellations of mini-satellites to connect the world to the internet. Now Microsoft is adding its own moonshot to solve the digital divide into that mix. The software giant plans to announce on Tuesday that it is harnessing the unused channels between television broadcasts, known as white spaces, to help get more of rural America online. In an event at the Willard Hotel in Washington, where Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated a coast-to-coast telephone call a century ago, Microsoft plans to say that it will soon start a white-spaces broadband service in 12 states including Arizona, Kansas, New York and Virginia to connect two million rural Americans in the next five years who have limited or no access to high-speed internet. In an interview, Microsoft’s president, Brad Smith, said white spaces were “the best solution for reaching over 80 percent of people in rural America who lack broadband today.” The United States has long grappled with uneven internet access. Many remote and less-populated areas have had particular trouble obtaining fast internet service because providers often cannot justify the cost of building out infrastructure to isolated locales with few people to serve. White-spaces technology has emerged as a potential solution to that problem. Since 2008, Microsoft and other companies have been involved in tests of television white spaces for internet access. The technology is sometimes known as “super Wi-Fi” because it behaves like regular Wi-Fi but uses low-powered television channels to cover far greater distances than wireless hot spots. It is also more powerful than cellular service because the frequencies can penetrate concrete walls and other obstacles. Promoting the white-spaces technology could reap rewards for tech companies: The remaining 24.3 million people in rural areas without internet are potential customers of cloud applications, search and other digital services. To support the white-spaces plan, Microsoft is appealing to federal and state regulators to guarantee the use of unused television channels and investments in promoting the technology in rural areas. But the company faces many hurdles with the technology. For one, few manufacturers are making devices compatible with white-spaces technology, and some devices that can be used with the technology cost more than $1,000 each. The National Association of Broadcasters, a trade group, said that only 800 devices that worked with white-spaces technology had been registered with regulators. “White spaces has tremendous opportunity to help with broadband coverage in rural areas, but it’s hard to justify the cost to device makers who don’t see economies of scale in rural areas,” said Doug Brake, a senior analyst at the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, a research organization that is sponsored by tech companies including Microsoft. Mr. Smith said that he would demonstrate four devices that work with white-space technology at Tuesday’s event, adding that prices for such gadgets would fall below $200 by next year. Another challenge is a battle with television broadcasters who have long argued that devices on the unused airwaves can interfere with the broadcasts run on neighboring channels. This week, the National Association of Broadcasters filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission arguing against Microsoft’s request for one nationwide channel to be set aside for white-spaces use. “Microsoft has been making promises about white-spaces technology for well over a decade,” Patrick McFadden, an associate general counsel for the association, wrote in comments to the commission. “At what point do we finally conclude that the white spaces project is a bust?” Microsoft said its goal was not to become a telecom provider. It will work with local internet service providers like Mid-Atlantic Broadband Communities in Virginia and Axiom Technologies in Maine by investing in some of the capital costs and then sharing in revenue. It has also opened its patents on the technology and teamed with chip makers to make devices that work with white spaces cheaper. “We’re looking at this to be price competitive for people in urban areas,” Mr. Smith said. “There is no reason people in rural areas need to spend more.”
