Q:
How can I change standart input/output of another program?
I have a console application written in c++. It simply reads an integer from standard input(keyboard) and writes another integer to standard output(screen). Now I want to give some tests to that program and check its answers using another program. In another words, I want to write electron judge for that program. I want that program(which I want to test) to read from file and write to file without changing source code. How can I do that. I tried assigning input&output to files before executing c++ program, but it did not worked.
assign(input,'temp.in');
reset(input);
assign(output,'temp.out');
rewrite(output);
exec('domino.exe');
close(input);
close(output);
A:
A simple solution is to redirect standard input and output when running your program from your shell, like this:
./someProgram < inputFile.txt > outputFile.txt
The < precedes the input file, and the > precedes the output file.

Spontaneous rupture of craniopharyngioma cysts. A report of five cases and review of the literature.
Reports of spontaneous rupture of a craniopharyngioma cyst are extremely rare. Five cases of spontaneous rupture of a craniopharyngioma cysts are reported. Clinical symptoms included chemical meningitis in three patients, alleviation of headache in one, and improvement in a visual disturbance in one. Reduction in cyst size was confirmed by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging in three of five patients, and the histopathological diagnosis was confirmed histologically in four patients. Cerebrospinal fluid findings were abnormal in the three patients with chemical meningitis. Spontaneous rupture of craniopharyngioma cysts tended to occur more frequently in adult males. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were useful in diagnosing cyst rupture, and cerebrospinal fluid findings, especially the presence of cholesterol crystals and an elevated cholesterol concentration, are suggestive, even when no reduction in cyst size is observed radiologically. |
Parents as practitioners in preterm care.
The very preterm birth of an infant is physiologically traumatic for the infant and physiologically and psychologically traumatic for the parents. The manner of care delivery in the first few days and weeks of the infant's life plays a large role in determining the impact of that trauma. For optimal outcomes parents need to be integrated into the care process as the primary practitioners of their infant's care in the neonatal intensive care unit. Supporting and enabling parents to be central to the care process establishes a consistent care environment where parents are in control and able to support their infant's physiological and psychological needs, thereby improving infant outcomes and reducing parent stress and anxiety. This article reviews the role of parents in the optimal development of preterm neonates, and discusses the elements crucial to promoting parent involvement in the neonatal intensive care unit and supporting parents following discharge. |
Regulation of gene and protein expression in cardiac myocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis.
Considerable efforts have been expended in elucidating the inter-cellular and intra-cellular signaling pathways which elicit cardiac myocyte hypertrophy or apoptosis, and in identifying the changes which are associated with the end-stage of the response. The challenge now is to link the two. Although some of the signaling effects will be the acute modulation of existing protein function, long-term effects which bring about and maintain the hypertrophic state or which culminate in cell death are mediated at the level of gene and protein expression. With the advances in micro-array technology and genome sequencing, it is now possible to obtain a picture of the global gene expression profile in myocytes or in whole heart which dictates the proteins which could be made. This is not the final picture since additional regulation at the level of translation modulates the relative proportions of each protein that can be made from the transcriptome. Even here, further regulation of protein stability and turnover means that ultimately it is still necessary to examine the proteome to determine what may cause the functional changes in a cell. Thus, in order to gain a full picture of events which regulate the response and gain some insight into possible points of intervention for therapy, it is necessary to examine gene expression, mRNA translation and protein expression in concert. |
Q:
how to pass the JTable values to one Frame to another
I am creating a simple inventory system in java. I like to pass data into one JFrame to another. only one data I can pass. I don't how to pass multiple data. what I tried to far attach below.
this how to create a model
DefaultTableModel dtm;
dtm.addRow(new Object[]
{
txtproduct.getText(),
txtprice.getText(),
});
A:
You cant have two constructors with the same params
Try to do this:
public print(String user, String age)
{
initComponents();
this.lname = user;
this.lage = age;
name.setText(lname);
age.setText(lage);
}
And then pass "", where you dont want some of the params.
Create the JFrame
new print(name, "").setVisible(true);
or
new print("", age).setVisible(true);

Cement slurries used in drilling – types, properties, application
The cement slurry is formed by mixing water with Portland cement or with a mixture of cement containingf various additives. The most important goal of cementing boreholes is to counter the inflow of water into productive levels of rocks with oil and gas. Physico-chemical conditions in borehole have a major effect on the properties of the grouts (bonding, hardening and durability). The most important of these are increased temperature and pressure as well as the presence of reservoir waters, drilling mud and gas migration. The article specifies the requirements for cement grouts used in drilling. The formation process and various types of cement have been characterized due to their phase composition and chemical and mineralogical composition. The treatment methods for the cements of drilling cements are also given. Finally, examples of drilling in the Polish Lowlands are illustrated as a sample of many factors affecting the type, properties and application of cement. |

The transpuboperineal approach for repair of traumatic strictures of the posterior urethra in children.
Strictures of the posterior urethra resulting from pelvic fractures in children pose a formidable challenge due to the limitations of perineal exposure. With the transpubic approach, direct access to the involved anatomy is obtained. This technique, combined with perineal mobilization of the distal urethra, allows the performance of a tension-free anastomosis. The use of an omental pedicle wrap graft seems to add safety to the procedure. It is particularly suited for long strictures and after failure of the transperineal approaches. The results reported in the literature are remarkably good. There are no reports of orthopedic sequelae in children. Sexual potency and continence do not seem to be adversely affected. We present two cases successfully operated upon by this technique. |

Definition, diagnosis, and forensic implications of postconcussional syndrome.
Injuries from blows to the head often are manifested only as subjective complaints. Postconcussional syndrome thus can be feigned for financial or psychological gain. The authors review the pathology of brain trauma, symptoms of postconcussional syndrome, and criteria for diagnosis. In addition to somatic deficits, psychological and cognitive problems are common. The likelihood and severity of postconcussional syndrome are greater for women. Malingering may be suspected in cases involving litigation, and tests to detect it are available. Treatment for postconcussional syndrome depends on the specific symptoms. Pharmacotherapies may be helpful, but care should be used in prescribing drugs that could produce deleterious CNS effects. |

Targeting haematopoietic-specific minor histocompatibility antigens to distinguish graft-versus-tumour effects from graft-versus-host disease.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) and donor lymphocyte infusions can induce durable remission in patients with haematological malignancies through a graft-versus-tumour (GvT) effect. In human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched settings, this powerful immunotherapeutic effect is predominantly mediated by donor T cells directed at the recipient's minor histocompatibility antigens (mHags) presented on malignant cells. The mHags are short peptides excised from polymorphic regions of intracellular proteins, and are presented by HLA molecules to donor T cells. Several ubiquitously expressed mHags are involved not only in GvT but also in graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). However, a specific set of mHags is expressed exclusively by haematopoietic cells and their malignant counterparts. Targeting these haematopoietic mHags is an attractive strategy to induce specific GvT effects without increasing the risk of GvHD. This chapter will summarize the current efforts to identify therapeutically relevant haematopoietic mHags, and outline the strategies to apply mHag-based cellular immunotherapy to treat recurrent malignancies after allo-SCT. |
With all apologies to Shakespeare, just as a rose would smell as sweet if we called it by another name, one would think that it shouldn’t matter what business owners name their companies.However, as corporate lawyers will attest, sometimes a good deal of thought goes into naming a corporate entity.For one thing, the very idea of creating an entity like, say, a limited liability company (LLC) is about insulating oneself from legal exposures and, in many cases, shielding one’s identity.While Donald Trump may like putting his name on everything, celebrities and others interested in keeping a measure of privacy feel differently when it comes to public transactions like purchasing real estate.
Look at some of the deed records in virtually any state, and chances are you will see a few odd names.“Bubble & Squeak, LLC,” for example, is a New York real estate company that rehabs and gentrifies older buildings.Appropriately enough, it takes its name from a traditional English dish made from fried leftovers of things like potatoes and cabbage.Other LLCs in New York that have somewhat unexpected names are “Worm in the Big Apple,” “Hot Potato,” “Rabbit Properties,” “Song for My Father,” and “Shabbos Goy LLC” (“shabbos goy” is a Yiddish term for a non-Jew employed by Orthodox Jews to perform chores on the Sabbath, when working is forbidden).Sometimes, the names chosen spring from either a sense of whimsy or a nod to pop culture.Cogswell Realty, LLC, for example, takes its name from Cogswell’s Cosmic Cogs, the chief competitor of Spacely Sprockets in the beloved cartoon “The Jetsons.”And when it came time for Cogswell to set up separate LLCs for some of the properties it owns, it chose names that George Jetson himself could appreciate: “Elroy, L.L.C.,” “Judy, L.L.C.,” and “Astro LLC” (what, nothing named after Jane, his wife?).
Look at some of the lesser known publicly-traded companies on some stock exchanges, and you will see more odd names.For instance, there may be a story behind the name of the holding company for Wyoming’s Buffalo Federal Savings Bank—it’s called Crazy Woman Creek Bancorp, Inc.You may not want to keep Foley Dog Show Organ and Bull Dog Sauce Company in the same stock portfolio as Big Cat Energy Corporation or Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (which makes videogame accessories)—dogs and cats don’t mix.And while you might expect Coda Octopus Group, Inc. to have something to do with underwater technologies, you’d probably be surprised to learn that Snake Eyes, Inc. has nothing to do with gambling and everything to do with golf clubs.
Of course, the names that are chosen for a corporate entity can sometimes come back to haunt it.Remember Enron, which referred to its special purpose entities as “raptors”?Another company that was burdened with a division overrun by product liability claims decided to create two spinoff entities—one that would emerge fresh and clean and the other that would contend with all the claims and lawsuits.Guess which one they named “GoodCo” and which they named “CrapCo”?Another corporation spun off a separate investment vehicle that was risky.How risky?It turns out that its name SNP, Inc. stood for “Should Not Participate, Inc.”And yet another corporation had a shell company with the mysterious-sounding acronym LHIW, Inc.During litigation involving that entity, it was revealed that LHIW, Inc. stood for “Let’s Hope It Works”—hardly the sort of thing to inspire investor confidence.When lawsuits come along, a lot of dirty laundry winds up being aired.Shadow corporate entities and shell companies or projects with names like “death star” or “piranha” tend to leave a bad impression with jurors. |

Sacred Spaces & Faerie Places
A sort of faerie-goddess-plant diva has been visiting me on occasion, since I've started my herbal ally research. She started as a face in my sketch book, some watercolors, and has now ended up on canvas in a collage piece. Who knows what other places she may take me.She is reliable, strong, steadfast and true. Can you see the print on her hair? This was a rosemary branch dipped in paint then pressed on canvas.
Also, much to my delight, I recently re-discovered some natural incense that I crafted last year in a forgotten drawer. Last season I started getting into the idea of crafting my own incense using dried herbs and flowers from my garden. There are so many blend possibilities and research on natural incense is fascinating! These pellets are crudely shaped, but their scent is divine. I've always found that smudging or burning natural incense is condusive to creating a sacred space and evoking my creative muse. It's particularly lovely to burn when doing herbal meditations, especially when crafted by one's own hand. For that matter even just the act of gathering the ingredients and forming the pellets is meditative. This particular blend also contained raw natural honey as a binder. If you're at all interested, I leave you with the ingredients, which of course includes my beloved rosemary.
Amounts are not indicated, so use your judgement, what feels right, or as I've sometimes been known to write down in my scientifically correct herbal recipe journals... a "pinch or a drop" :) The botanicals were ground by hand in my mortar & pestle, though I did leave some of the rose petals whole. |

Mystery underwater sand circles are actually puffer fish art
If you thought crop circles were strange, odds are you haven’t seen these:
The underwater version of crop circles! Some of the intrigue with crop circles faded once people stopped thinking they were made by aliens, but these sand circles are even more interesting to behold once you know where they do come from.
So who or what makes these enigmatic sculptures where they are doomed to fade into nonexistence once the ocean erodes them away? No, not an alien race, nor a group of people from of the legendary Atlantis, but Puffer fish!
Male puffer fish craft their detailed sculptures by using a single fin to push the sand around, working day and night to finish the job, topping it off by cracking shells and placing them along the inner grooves of the circles. Similar to bower birds, the puffer fish creates these structures to attract females. However, the marine art serves a greater purpose than to look pretty to impress the ladies. The puffer fish constructs his art with great care because it will become a nursery ground for his future offspring! Watch him here:
Once the female has found the grooves, she will follow the ridges to the male in the center, mate with him, and lay her eggs. The more ridges the circle contains, the more likely it is that the female will mate with the male, because she knows that the ridges will buffer the eggs from currents, thereby protecting the eggs from disturbance and exposure to predators. Furthermore, the seemingly decorative seashells provide nutrients to the eggs and newborn puffer fish.
The artist at work
Next time you get annoyed by the sand that gets in every orifice after a day at the beach, or think humans are clever for using sand to make glass and concrete, think about how the puffer fish makes art out of sand to attract females, protect its young, and provide sustenance to its offspring just by using the raw stuff-and you might find new appreciation in sand, and the ingenuity of animals, a little more.

Q:
What are some good resources for studying Hadoop's source code?
Are there any good resources that would help me study Hadoop's source code? I'm particularly looking for university courses or research papers.
A:
Studying Hadoop or MapReduce can be a daunting task if you get your hand dirty at the start.I followed the schedule as follows :
Start with very basics of MR with
code.google.com/edu/parallel/dsd-tutorial.html
code.google.com/edu/parallel/mapreduce-tutorial.html
Then go for the first two lectures in
www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse490h/08au/lectures.htm
A very good course intro to MapReduce and Hadoop.
Read the seminal paper
http://research.google.com/archive/mapreduce.html and its improvements in the updated version
http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse490h/08au/readings/communications200801-dl.pdf
Then go for all the other videos in the U.Washington link given above.
Try youtubing the terms Map reduce and hadoop to find videos by ORielly and Google RoundTable for good overview of the future of Hadoop and MapReduce
Then off to the most important videos -
Cloudera Videos
www.cloudera.com/resources/?media=Video
and
Google MiniLecture Series
code.google.com/edu/submissions/mapreduce-minilecture/listing.html
Along with all the Multimedia above we need good written materialDocuments:
Architecture diagrams at hadooper.blogspot.com are good to have on your wall
Hadoop: The definitive guide goes more into the nuts and bolts of the whole system where as
Hadoop in Action is a good read with lots of teaching examples to learn the concepts of hadoop.
Pro Hadoop is not for beginners
pdfs of the documentation from Apache Foundation
hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/ and
hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/stable/
will help you learn as to how model your problem into a MR solution in order to gain the advantages of Hadoop in total.
HDFS paper by Yahoo! Research is also a good read in order to gain in depth knowledge of hadoop
Subscribe to the User Mailing List of Commons, MapReduce and HDFS in order to know problems, solutions and future solutions.
Try the http://developer.yahoo.com/hadoop/tutorial/module1.html link for beginners to expert path to Hadoop
For Any Queries ... Contact Apache, Google, Bing, Yahoo!
A:
Your question seems overly broad - To get a resource to use while looking at source code you should narrow your focus of what you want to study. This will make it easier for you (and any on SO) to find papers/topics covering that topic.
I've dug into the Hadoop source a few times. Normally with a very specific class I needed to learn about. In these cases an external resource wasn't really needed, and since I had the class name, I just googled for that and found resources.
If I were to start trying to understand the hadoop source at a higher level I'd get the source code and my copy of Hadoop: The Definitive Guide and use that as a reference to understand the higher level connections of the source code.
I won't claim that this would be a perfect solution. H:TDG is at a more technical level than the other hadoop books I have and I find it to be very informative.
H:TDG is what I'd start with and as I found areas I wanted to dig into more, I would start searching for those specifically.

LONDON—Bringing closure to millions of fans who had breathlessly waited to see whether the two would ever get together, last weekend’s finale of the BBC nature documentary series Planet Earth II finally resolved the ongoing “will they, won’t they” relationship between a snow leopard and a golden eagle. “Everyone spent the whole season wondering if it was ever going to happen, so it was really satisfying when the two animals at long last ended up with each other,” said Entertainment Weekly writer Benjamin Lynch, describing the moment late in the episode when the mountain-dwelling cat and the bird of prey passionately embraced one another on a windswept stretch of the Tibetan plateau. “The chemistry between them was obvious to everyone watching the show, and it was clear that they had strong feelings for one another, but there were still so many times where it seemed like they’d wind up with other wildlife. They’re opposites in a lot of ways—different biomes, different prey—so seeing that storyline resolve so nicely was truly heartwarming.” Lynch added that the episode made up for the widely panned finale of the original Planet Earth, in which the fan favorite green sea turtle was controversially killed off by a spider crab for reasons that were never fully explained.

Half Girlfriend by Chetan Bhagat
A book that can now be categorized as a typical Chetan Bhagat book. Written from a perspective of being converted into a Bollywood movie someday. Perfect setting for a Bollywood mobie. A boorish Bihari lad comes to St. Stephens, Delhi for his graduation on sports quota. He falls in love with a rich, sophisticated Marwari girl, thanks to their common love basketball.She does not wish to commit herself as his girlfriend while doing everything that a girlfriend would do and so she is half a girl friend. She also confesses that her ambition is to be a singer in the restaurants in New York. This her way of breaking away from the straitjacketed life she lives at her home. He goes to her house for her birthday. The scenes that play out are similar to what has played out in so many Bollywood movies.
Under pressure from his peers he tries to bed her. She refuses and walks out of his companionship. Either in frustration or under pressure from her parents she gives in and agrees to marry a rich UK resident and drops of college. The dejected Bihari finishes his graduation, gives up a lucrative job in a MNC bank and moves back to his village, where is a Maharaja of sorts, to help his mother run the school.
He happens to meet up with a person from the Gates foundation and applies for grant from them. He is asked to make a presentation to Bill Gates on a tour of India. He joins an English speaking class, in Patna, to improve his speech before presenting to Gates. He bumps into his half-girlfriend and old flames are set alight once again. She is now a divorcee working on her own and she is to work out of Patna.
She helps him with the speech and visits his house and his school. She still remains the half-girlfriend. After the presentation to Bill Gates she disappears from his life leaving him a letter stating she has only a few months to live as per the doctor’s diagnosis. An emotional lover boy finds a set of diaries written by her. He approaches Chetan Bhagat and offers him the diaries that he has not dared read till then and leaves them with him. At first Chetan refuses to read them and trashes them. But then curiosity in him is aroused and he reads the diaries and discovers something. So he calls over the lover-boy and asks him to read sections of the diaries. After refusing to do so he reads them and is stunned.
He discovers that the half-girlfriend is after all in love with him and is not dead. So he sets off to New York (remember her dream to sing in restaurants in New York) in search of her. I guess anyone who has seen Bollywood movies knows what the end would be. |
Implantable medical devices (IMDs) are devices designed to be implanted into a patient. Some examples of these devices include cardiac function management (CFM) devices. CFMs include implantable pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and devices that include a combination of pacing and defibrillation including cardiac resynchronization therapy. The devices are typically used to treat patients using electrical therapy and to aid a physician or caregiver in patient diagnosis through internal monitoring of a patient's condition. The devices may include electrical leads in communication with sense amplifiers to monitor electrical heart activity within a patient, and often include sensors to monitor other internal patient parameters. Other examples of implantable medical devices include implantable insulin pumps or devices implanted to administer drugs to a patient.
Additionally, some IMDs detect events by monitoring electrical heart activity signals. In CFM devices, these events include heart chamber expansions or contractions. By monitoring cardiac signals indicative of expansions or contractions, IMDs are able to detect abnormally slow heart rate, or bradycardia. The IMDs are also able to detect abnormally rapid heart rate, or tachyarrhythmia. Some tachyarrhythmia is treated by delivering high-energy electrical shock therapy with the IMD. Patients that use IMDs may be adversely affected by noise sensed by the IMD sensing circuits. If an IMD incorrectly interprets noise, the IMDs may inappropriately deliver shock therapy, causing patient discomfort. |
Natural family planning.
Natural family planning includes the calendar (rhythm), basal body temperature, ovulation (mucus), and sympto-thermal methods. Reliability of such methods often is underestimated, but effectiveness of various methods has been reported. Correct understanding and use of proper techniques, primarily abstinence during fertile periods, is imperative for effectiveness. New methods being studied may heighten awareness of fertile times and shorten required periods of abstinence or use of back-up methods. |

News reports from Brazil have understandably raised concerns about the increasing spread of the mosquito-borne Zika virus across the American continent and even into the US. Alarmingly, this disease has been linked to the rise in microcephaly cases among newborns (a foetal abnormality that limits the development of the brain in the womb), although there has been no conclusive evidence of this.
With the World Health Organisation executive board in full swing, and soon after the World Economic Forum’s designation of infectious disease as a key global challenge, Zika has received considerable global attention. Notably, there has been a growing conversation focused on learning lessons from the failures of the global health community during the Ebola outbreak in west Africa, and applying these to Zika to ensure that this virus doesn’t become the next big global health threat.
While this comparison may be understandable, it ignores two important points. First, the response to Ebola as a global security threat failed to produce a comprehensive mechanism to stop the outbreak. Second, Zika is a very different disease to Ebola and warrants a different policy response.
Ebola inspired fear in the public through violent symptoms, its rapid and uncontrollable spread, high case fatality and the lack of a viable cure. It was this fear that spurred western governments to install political placebos, such as airport screening, despite the flawed logic that this might stop the virus entering a country. While these security-focused policies may have played well with the electorate they did not actively improve the health situation in the affected states of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, and did nothing to improve sustainable health provision in these countries. Nor did most of these global decision-makers consider the impact that diverting their resources to one “threat” had on other local health concerns such as malaria and maternal health.
Quite simply, Zika does not pose the same security concern to the global population that we saw during Ebola and it should not be considered a threat in the same way. This is despite the US Centers for Disease Control now placing the virus at alert level two. Zika spreads through mosquito bites in affected regions, producing mild flu-like symptoms that rarely require hospitalisation and a negligible mortality rate. The virus can be readily controlled through effective mosquito control procedures, such as destroying the infected insects and larvae, or insecticide use.
I am not suggesting that we should ignore Zika or shouldn’t seek to protect unborn babies from potential harm. As a pregnant woman myself, I have the utmost sympathy for the affected women struggling with the impact of this disease on their children. However, we need to ensure the focus of the global community remains on sustainable measures to control mosquito borne infections, rather than knee-jerk security responses.
Zika is a disease of poverty, similar to other neglected tropical diseases such as chikungunya and dengue. The burden falls disproportionately upon poor populations living near open water sources which attract mosquitoes, and who do not have the resources to protect themselves individually though bite prevention methods.
We should be focusing on the positive health story this week that the UK government alongside the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have committed £3bn to fight malaria and other neglected diseases. Through understanding prevention and treatment mechanisms for mosquito-borne diseases, such as the development of genetically modified sterile mosquitoes, the global community will be much better prepared to respond to and prevent diseases such as Zika in the future.
As with other outbreaks, politics will decide if and how Zika will be controlled. But we should steer the conversation on to the positive steps of combating mosquito-borne diseases in a comprehensive manner, rather than turning Zika into a security issue, which may only result in mass panic and a potentially unsuitable global response. |
Andrei's version looks plausible, but you will need to decide whether you want .* (element by element multiplication) or if you want bsxfun() (create array with all of the combinations of values), or if you want to transpose one of the vectors and do a matrix multiplication. |
Fine-scale environmental control of hybridization in oaks.
Natural hybridization is attracting much interest in modern speciation and conservation biology studies, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In particular, it is unclear why environmental changes often increase hybridization rates. To study this question, we surveyed mating events in a mixed oak stand and developed a spatially explicit individual-based hybridization model. This model, where hybridization is frequency-dependent, pollen is nonlimiting and which allows immigrant pollen to compete with local pollen, takes into account species-specific pollen dispersal and sexual barriers to hybridization. The consequences of pollen limitation on hybridization were studied using another simple model. The results indicate that environmental changes could increase hybridization rates through two distinct mechanisms. First, by disrupting the spatial organization of communities, they should decrease the proportion of conspecific pollen available for mating, thus increasing hybridization rates. Second, by decreasing the density of conspecifics, they should increase pollen limitation and thus hybridization rates, as a consequence of chance pollination predominating over deterministic pollen competition. Altogether, our results point to a need for considering hybridization events at the appropriate level of organization and provide new insights into why hybridization rates generally increase in disturbed environments. |

Q:
How to inherit a class from an assembly without forcing users to reference two assemblies
I have two classes A and B in two different .NET assemblies: AssemblyA and AssemblyB.
I want class B to inherit class A but I want that however uses class B to only need to reference AssemblyB (and not both AssemblyA and AssemblyB).
Due to the project constraints I need to keep the two assemblies separate so I cannot use merge tool to merge the two assemblies.
Note that actual inheritance of classes is not a must - I want to be able to have logic from A run in AssemblyB as part of class B with as little as possible rewriting of functionality.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
A:
No. Think of it in this way - suppose youI type in the following:
public class B : A
{
public void Foo()
{
this.// Cursor is here
}
}
How do you expect Intellisense to know what's available if it doesn't know what's in class A? How would the compiler be able to validate method calls etc?
You have to know about the parent classes all the way up the inheritance chain. This means referencing both projects. If you don't want to do this, don't use inheritance - make B compose A instead of deriving from it. Users will still need the binary for A available at execution time, but I don't think they'll need to add a reference in Visual Studio. (On the other hand, if they're going to debug the code, they'll probably want to anyway to make sure the binary is in the right place...)

Establishing the Limits of Validity of the Superposition of Experimental and Analytical Ultrasonic Responses for Simulating Imaging Data.
The superposition of experimental and analytical data is useful for simulating ultrasonic images of defects in samples containing high levels of coherent structural noise. This technique assumes that the superposition of the response of a defect in a homogeneous medium with that of a heterogeneous, defect-free medium is identical to the response of the same defect embedded in the heterogeneous medium. This implies a single-scattering process. Previous experimental work demonstrated successful use of the technique but only over a limited range of defect signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). However, there was a concern that it might not remain valid at low SNR due to, for example, multiple-scattering effects. This paper shows that this technique provides accurate results over the full range of SNRs of defects where the defect is discernible from image noise. The technique is, therefore, suitable for simulating any inspection where ultrasonic imaging is an appropriate method of nondestructive evaluation. |
Consequences of childhood obesity.
The incidence of childhood obesity is rising across the globe, and obesity related co-morbidities are increasing concomitantly in the paediatric population. PubMed search for research and review papers on complications of childhood obesity was performed. The consequences of childhood obesity can be broadly classified into medical and psychosocial consequences. Medical consequences include metabolic complications such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and mechanical problems such as obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and orthopaedic disorders. Psychological and social consequences are prevalent but often overlooked. Local data on these complications were also discussed. Childhood obesity is associated with significant morbidities, which not only have immediate impact on the health of the obese children, but also significantly increase the risk of morbidities in adulthood. |
A liquid crystal panel in a Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) is mainly composed of an array substrate, a color film substrate and a liquid crystal layer located between the array substrate and the color film substrate, and two polarizers with two polarization directions completely perpendicular to each other are arranged on the array substrate and the color film substrate, respectively. When the TFT-LCD operates, light rays emitted by a backlight irradiate the array substrate, the transmittance of the light rays through the liquid crystal layer and the color substrate is determined according to image data inputted to the TFT-LCD, and the display panel may display different color grade according to different transmittance and thereby display an image.
On the color film substrate there are regularly arranged color resins of three colors red, green, and blue (RGB), which correspond to sub-pixel units of three colors RGB, respectively, and three sub-pixel units of different colors constitute a pixel. The backlight when the TFT-LCD operates is of white light, which is usually formed by mixing the three primary colors RGB, the white light becomes linearly polarized white light after passing through the polarizer at the array substrate side, and the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light after passing through the liquid crystal layer is affected by the thickness of the liquid crystal layer and the liquid crystal deflection angle. Generally, the structures of pixel electrodes or the common electrode corresponding to three RGB sub-pixel units are identical and the voltages thereof are equal, such that the liquid crystal deflection angles of the three RGB sub-pixel units are identical. Therefore, after the white light rays pass through the liquid crystal layer of which the thickness of the liquid crystals is equal and of which the liquid crystal deflection angles are identical, since the polarization angles of the light of three colors RGB which constitutes the white light rays are different, and then the three kinds of light rays pass through the polarizer at the color film substrate side, such that the transmittance of the three kinds of light is unequal, such a phenomenon will result in inequality of the light intensity ratios of the outgoing light of the three sub-pixel units, in turn result in that there is a color cast between the color manifested by mixing the three kinds of outgoing light and the color of white light, and that there is a difference between a displayed image and an original image due to the effect of the color cast when displaying an image, thereby affecting the display effect. |

Klebsiella pneumoniae necrotizing fasciitis in a Latin American male.
Necrotizing fasciitis, caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae, is a rare and life-threatening bacterial infection. Most documented cases have been reported from Asia, particularly associated with diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of this infection in the USA is rare, especially among persons of non-Asian descent and those without travel to Asia. We report a case of disseminated necrotizing fasciitis, caused by K. pneumoniae, in a Latin American male with diabetes mellitus. Given our review of the literature, this is the only case report, to our knowledge, of a Latin American patient with Klebsiella necrotizing fasciitis in the USA. This case may reflect the geographical spread and emergence of K. pneumoniae infection in the USA. Clinicians need to be aware of the possible relationship between this organism and necrotizing fasciitis in persons of Latin American descent with diabetes mellitus. |
List of United States Marine Corps Combat Logistics Companies
A Combat Logistics Company (CLC) is a logistics unit of the United States Marine Corps that are based at Marine Corps air stations. Formerly known as Combat Service Support Companies, they provide intermediate supply support and intermediate motor transport and engineer ground equipment maintenance to their Marine Aircraft Wings (MAWs); operate the Aerial Port of Embarkation/Debarkation (APOE/D) under the guidance of the Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF); and provide personnel to the Fleet Assistance Program (FAP) in support of legal, postal, exchange, security (military police), personnel administration, freight/passenger transportation (TMO) and bulk fuel support for their respective Marine Corps Air Station.
Organization
Combat Logistics Companies fall under the command of a Combat Logistics Regiment within the Marine Logistics Group. Companies are not provided to air stations in proximity to a larger logistics unit (such as Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton).
Combat Logistics Companies provide intermediate ground logistics support to aviation units, to include supply and maintenance beyond organic capabilities.

Molecular imaging of reporter gene expression in prostate cancer: an overview.
Prostate cancer remains an important and growing health problem. Advances in imaging of prostate cancer may help to achieve earlier and more accurate diagnosis and treatment. We review the various strategies using reporter genes for molecular imaging of prostate cancer. These approaches are emerging as valuable tools for monitoring gene expression in laboratory animals and humans. Further development of more sensitive and selective reporters, combined with improvements in detection technology, will consolidate the position of reporter gene imaging as a versatile method for understanding of intracellular biological processes and the underlying molecular basis of prostate cancer, as well as potentially establishing a future role in the clinical management of patients afflicted with this disease. |
Neglected nano-effects of nanoparticles in the interpretation of their toxicity.
Nanoparticles with smaller diameters have larger surface areas. Unfortunately, this fact is often neglected in their biomedical characterization, e.g. in the evaluation of their toxicity with cell viability tests. We here point out the different scientific conclusions drawn in such tests when considering the traditional mass or concentration of nanoparticles, or their surface areas. |
By Andrew Bevan, Senior Lecturer, UCL Institute of Archaeology.
This article is part of our series: a day in the software life, in which we ask researchers from all disciplines to discuss the tools that make their research possible.
Archaeologists have long had a taste for computer-based methods, not least because of their need to organise large datasets of sites and finds, search for statistical patterns and map out the results geographically. Digital technologies have been important in fieldwork for at least two decades and increasingly important for sharing archaeology with a wider public online. However, the last decade of advances in computer vision now means that the future of archaeological recording – from whole landscapes of past human activity to archaeological sites to museum objects – is increasingly digital, 3D and citizen-led.
Structure-from-motion and multi-view stereo constitute a bundle of ‘computer vision’ methods (‘SfM’). They are a form of flexible photogrammetry (the latter being a science with a much older pedigree) in which software is able to automatically identify small features in a digital photograph and then match these across large sets of heavily-overlapping images in order to reconstruct the camera positions from which these photographs were taken.
This first step then allows for denser reconstructions of 3D coloured point clouds or photo-textured 3D mesh models. There are now some complete pipelines for such SfM techniques implemented in both open source, such as VisualSfM, Bundler and PMVS2, and commercial software packages like PhotoScan and Acute3D, as well as some cloud-based provisions such as 123D Catch and Photosynth.
A couple of years ago the first paper on SfM in archaeology was published and the range of applications has exploded since. A recent Nature article rightly characterising this as a ”quiet revolution” sweeping across academic disciplines such as archaeology, art history, architecture, palaeontology or taxonomic biology. SfM allows for the creation of high quality 3D models that are less costly than alternatives such as laser scanning. However, as a couple of examples below try to make clear, SfM really comes into its own by allowing large samples of objects to be modelled rather than just one or two, thereby allowing 3D morphometric comparisons, and democratising the 3D modelling process in ways that facilitate effective citizen science.
For example, we have recently been using SfM as part of a collaboration between UCL and the Museum of Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum that looks at the imperial logistics behind the construction of the mausoleum complex of China’s First Emperor. We have been studying both the bronze weapons held by the Terracotta Warriors and the warriors themselves for what insights might be offered by very fine-scale shape differences in these artefacts. Janice Li and Marcos Martinón-Torre blogged about the bronze weapons (with further references to published papers), but our most recent efforts have focused on the respective shapes of the warriors, with special attention to their ears!

We were interested in several possible causes for differences in warrior features, ranging from the unconfirmed possibility that the statues might be modelled on real people to the possible signature-styles of workshop cells. However, our efforts so far have focused mainly on establishing the fact that we can capture 3D data about irregular features such as ears via SfM, and then subject it to meaningful 3D shape analysis (or 3D morphometrics). For the latter analysis, we are using an open source point cloud processing software called CloudCompare to finely co-register individual ear models and then estimate goodness-of-fit, with the R statistical environment then being used to build pair-wise comparisons into a distance matrix and further analyse it.
So wherever we wish to construct 3D classifications of physical shapes, SfM may prove useful. A further reason for its growing popularity is that it allows crowd-sourcing of good quality data collection. For example, we can ask members of the public visiting archaeological sites to capture and upload image sets for 3D models and thereby preserve a 3D snapshot of structures that unfortunately get damaged and decay through time. Two other good examples of this include Heritage Together and ACCORD, or Archaeology Community Co-Production of Research Data. We can also crowd-source smaller-scale 3D models of individual archaeological objects, and the MicroPasts project (a collaboration between UCL and the British Museum) is producing large numbers of such models, ranging from British prehistoric bronze axes to Egyptian shabtis (funerary figurines).
As with the terracotta warriors, the point of such an effort is to create not just one or two pretty models but a large sample whose 3D shapes can be compared statistically. MicroPasts’ crowd-sourcing involves a web platform built on the increasingly popular PyBossa task-scheduling and citizen science framework, and we enable a range of crowd-sourcing applications which also include online transcription. For the 3D modelling, museum staff take the artefact photos and then serve them via Amazon S3 to our platform where online contributors draw outlines around the objects they see in the photographs, as enabled via OpenLayers3. This then allows the SfM software to focus on modelling the objects rather than the image background.
In some cases, we ask up to three contributors to mask each photo so we can have a check on quality and then the resulting geoJSON datasets are downloaded and converted from vector coordinates into a binary raster mask via a Python script before the 3D modelling is conducted offline. These user-generated masks for each photo remain better than the object-background distinctions that we could generate automatically and allow us to build much cleaner 3D models. We then make the raw photos, masks and models available as open-licensed direct downloads, as well as visible online via WebGL. For an example, see this model of a bronze axehead and if you are interested in the practical workflow, our learning resources are online, with project software outputs also available on GitHub.

The growth of Israeli settler-colonialism under European and North American sponsorship
The article first on Anti-Imperialism.com in October. The Speed of Dreams is reposting it in light of the recent attacks in Gaza by the settler-colonial Zionist state and the assassination of Ahmed Jabari, leader of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and member of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
That is the position of the White “left”, even the most vocal supporters of a One-State Solution to the Palestinian national movement struggle. However, as all genuine anti-imperialists and revolutionaries around the world know, settler colonialism is settler colonialism; White Power is White Power; imperialism is imperialism. It makes no differences where it occurs, whether Turtle Island to Palestine.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) is a revolutionary organization fighting for national liberation and socialism in Occupied Palestine.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine denounced the new “US-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act” signed by US President Barack Obama, which seeks to strengthen military and security cooperation between the U.S. and the occupation state. The bill specifically and comprehensively notes U.S. goals for Israeli military supremacy in the region, calling the U.S. government to secure Israeli “qualitative superiority.” This new bill, once again a recognition of the U.S. strategic alliance with Israel, was given to the racist settler regime of Netanyahu in the month of Ramadan, as it escalates its aggression, settlements and siege, as well as its violation of Arab Muslim and Christian holy sites. This law demonstrates once again the utter contempt of U.S. imperialism for Palestinian blood, Palestinian plundered land, displaced people, and denied rights, and utter disregard for the Arab and Muslim nations.
The Popular Front demanded that the official silence, complicity and encouragement of Israeli crimes be broken at nationa, Arab and Islamic, and international levels, in order to challenge the U.S./Israeli war on our people and demand our inalienable national rights to return, self-determination and independence.

The Baltimore riots have given liberals plenty of opportunities to put their best foot forward. One would think that even those imbeciles on the most extreme end of the spectrum would find it in themselves to condemn wanton violence and destruction, but one would be wrong. Not only do so few of them have the moral fiber to criticize the rioters, many of them actively encourage the chaos – apparently unaware of or indifferent to the fact that black neighborhoods will suffer due to the damage. Black lives matter, but apparently the quality of those lives are of little concern.
Now this collection of crackpots is outraged at Whole Foods because one of their Baltimore stores had the indecency to offer free food to the National Guard. When the Guard troops were in the city Tuesday, trying to prevent hooligans from turning Baltimore into a fiery wasteland, the Harbor East market posted a picture on Facebook showing the troops holding food from their store. “We are so thankful to have them here,” the posting said, “and they’re pumped for Turkey & Cheese.”
What could possibly be wrong with that? Well, to the indignant masses that lurk Twitter and other online forums, this was Whole Foods betraying the Black Lives Matter movement. Apparently, this is supposed to be a war between the people and the state, and Whole Foods made the mistake of giving comfort to the enemy. Some have even called for boycotts of the supermarket, because it is just that unthinkable to give food to the evil National Guard troops.
Whole Foods wound up removing the picture from Facebook, claiming that it was giving people the wrong impression. Too bad. They should have kept it up. In fact, they should blow it up to banner size and hang it outside every one of their outlets. When the world is so twisted that a company faces boycotts (!) for a magnanimous, civic-minded gesture like this, then it’s really no wonder people are rioting. Hell, maybe it is time to burn the whole thing down and start again.
This is just one example of the sickness plaguing our society. A society so idiotic that liberals have even turned against their great savior, calling him a half-white racist. When President Obama called the rioters “thugs,” he made more sense than he has in the last six years put together. So, it’s only to be expected that this is the thing that turns the left against him. We have turned villains into heroes and heroes into monsters. Moral relativism is the new religion.
Given our history, it’s not hard to understand why many Americans have a soft spot for social unrest. We were born out of revolution and revolution has never been drained from our spirit. But just because people are taking to the streets, it doesn’t mean their cause is just. And even if their cause is just, it doesn’t mean their tactics are commendable. The National Guard is not the Gestapo and the police are not the SS. There are issues here to be talked about, but we’re going to need to put things in perspective before we can have a conversation.
But the longer this goes on, the less it seems like anyone really wants to have a conversation at all. |

I want to add a .txt to the variable 'sec' so that I can create a text file for it, but the program creates a file instead.
A:
cout<<"Enter section: ";
cin>>sec;
file1.open(sec,ios::out);
I got a solution, I concatenated the variable sec using the strcat and it goes like this.
cout<<"Enter section: ";
cin>>sec;
strcat(sec,".txt");

Q:
Drupal: Create a unique selector for admin styles?
I'd like to style some components differently in the admin. How could I generate a unique id/class on the body element so I could style admin elements separately?
A:
You can start by looking at the admin module. It helps you to create an admin theme and other AI improvements. I found that using the rubik theme.
You can also just put a class on admin pages, by checking the first argument in a preprocess function. For all admin pages they the first arg should be admin. The preprocess function should be in your theme's template.php file, and named according to your theme's name.

The purpose of the proposed study is to identify and investigate naturally occurring diseases and disease processes in animals and to develop them as models of similar diseases in man. Numerous such diseases in animals have been defined, but few are available to researchers. We propose to identify these diseases, using appropriate techniques, and to make these animals available to those researchers interested in the disorders. We are excluding the typical laboratory animals, such as mice and rats, since these are currently available. These animals will be more important for future research because of the increased restrictions on research involving human subjects. |
Rogen’s Green Hornet Script Too Willy-Nilly for Nicolas Cage
Why did Nicolas Cage drop out of Michel Gondry's upcoming Seth Rogen–scripted Green Hornet movie? Allow him to explain: "I wasn't interested in just being a straight-up bad guy who was killing people willy-nilly. I had to have some humanity and try to give it something where you could understand why the character was the way he was. But there wasn't enough time to develop it." Thankfully, none of this was a problem for Christoph Waltz, who we hope will just distract us from the screenplay's shortcomings with his comically enormous pipe. [Toronto Sun via Playlist]

It looks like several companies are learning what happens when you mess with the internet - and they're learning it the hard way. Several major companies have been hit by the collective powers of Anonymous after 4chan launched several distributed denial-of-service attacks. What many have been predicting for a long time now has finally happened: an actual war between the powers that be on one side, and the internet on the other. Update: PayPal has admitted their WikiLeaks snub came after pressure from the US government, and Datacell, which takes care of payments to Wikileaks, is threatening to sue MasterCard over Wikileaks' account suspension. Update II: Visa.com is down due to the attack. Update III: PayPal has caved under the pressure, and will release the funds in the WikiLeaks account.
I have always been surprised 4chan has never been attacked or vilified by politicians or mainsteam press. They even invent silly metaphorical entities like Anonymous to avoid breaching the subject of 4chan.
Either everyone is trying to mentally block 4chan by refusing to acknowledge their existance, or they are really afraid of them.
I have always been surprised 4chan has never been attacked or vilified by politicians or mainsteam press. They even invent silly metaphorical entities like Anonymous to avoid breaching the subject of 4chan.
4chan is a large community, when people refer to 4chan they're generally referring to /b/, which many of the other sites in 4chan hold in disdain.
Anonymous is a subset of /b/ users, which are an even smaller subset of 4chan users.
Vilifying 4chan for the actions of a subset of users is ironically symbolic of what Anonymous is fighting against, the censorship of the internet based on the actions of a few.
Besides, if /b/ is going to be vilified, Anonymous is relatively low on the list of reasons. There are much more disturbing things to deal with first. |

Pile It On!
Minimalist style has many proponents. These adherents are quick to quote Coco Chanel, who supposedly stated that before heading out, a woman should remove one item that she's wearing. The design icon's advice has its merits. However, I think the suggestion oversimplifies things a bit. In my opinion, there is an art to dressing with maximalist prints and accessories. It's hard to break it down in just a sentence or two, which makes me think maybe I should do a special post on that topic. For now, suffice it to say, that when executed well, piling it on can reflect a certain worldly, well-travelled sophistication...think chic anthropologist or Persian princess!

A femoral vein-femoral artery loop technique for aortic dilatation in children.
Balloon aortic dilatation is now a recognized therapy for aortic stenosis in children. Using retrograde approaches with either single or double balloons, successful dilatation can be readily achieved, but with little control of balloon position across the valve. We describe a femoral vein-femoral artery loop technique via a transseptal approach which facilitates antegrade crossing of the stenotic aortic valve and allows optimal balloon control and simultaneous pressure gradient recording during the procedure. |

Mitochondria-targeting single-layered graphene quantum dots with dual recognition sites for ATP imaging in living cells.
As a molecular unit of intracellular energy transfer, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is significant for maintaining the energy balance in living cells and thus monitoring cellular ATP is important to assess cellular physiological functions. However, effective monitoring of cellular ATP still faces challenges owing to the similarity of ATP to other nucleoside polyphosphates. Herein, yellow emissive single-layered graphene quantum dots (s-GQDs) with dual recognition sites including π-conjugated single sheets and positively charged sites were developed. The s-GQDs exhibit a good mitochondria targeting ability and respond only to purine nucleotides and show good selectivity in discriminating tri-, di- and monophosphate nucleotides. The good selectivity should be attributed to the concurrent effect of π-π stacking and electrostatic interactions between filmy layered positive s-GQDs and negative purine nucleotides. Owing to the mitochondria targeting ability and dual recognition sites of the s-GQDs, the mitochondrial ATP fluctuation resulting from the activation and suppression of ATP in living cells has been successfully monitored. |
Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Effects on Bone and Mechanisms.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with decreased bone mass and alterations in bone geometry from the time of diagnosis, before anti-inflammatory therapy is instituted. Deficits in bone mass can persist despite absence of symptoms of active IBD. The effects of IBD on the skeleton are complex. Protein-calorie malnutrition, inactivity, hypogonadism, deficits in calcium intake and vitamin D consumption and synthesis, stunted growth in children, decreased skeletal muscle mass, and inflammation all likely play a role. Preliminary studies suggest that the dysbiotic intestinal microbial flora present in IBD may also affect bone at a distance. Several mechanisms are possible. T cells activated by the gut microbiota may serve as "inflammatory shuttles" between the intestine and bone. Microbe-associated molecular patterns leaked into the circulation in IBD may activate immune responses in the bone marrow by immune cells and by osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts that lead to decreased bone formation and increased resorption. Finally, intestinal microbial metabolites such as H2S may also affect bone cell function. Uncovering these mechanisms will enable the design of microbial cocktails to help restore bone mass in patients with IBD. |
Effect of adenosine on coronary blood flow and its use as a diagnostic test for coronary artery disease.
Myocardial perfusion imaging during adenosine induced coronary hyperaemia is a highly sensitive method for diagnosing coronary artery disease. Most perfusion defects reflect heterogeneity in coronary blood flow in the territories of normal and diseased coronary arteries. Myocardial ischaemia can occur, however, due to subendocardial hypoperfusion and coronary artery steal. Evidence for myocardial ischaemia is more difficult to document in clinical than in experimental studies, and includes abnormalities in the ST segment, wall motion, haemodynamic variables, metabolism, and coronary blood flow responses. Using these indices, myocardial ischaemia may occur in some patients with coronary artery disease but it is not a prerequisite for the development of perfusion abnormalities and for the diagnosis of coronary artery during adenosine stress testing. |
Q:
Local Phone contacts not syncing with google
I have a OnePlus one mobile. The contacts that I store are getting stored in the Local Phone (I am able to see this when I select "Show Contacts from phone alone"). Those new contacts are not visible in my google contacts and these new contacts are also not visible in Whatsapp.
What should I do to resolve this?
A:
My solution was to migrate contacts from local storage to the Google account via an export and an import.
contacts app > manage contacts > Export
contacts app > manage contacts > Import => destination: Google => source: exported file
Also make sure to make Google your default contacts storage
contacts app > settings > Default Storage Location => Google
And turn on sync of contacts.
Unfortunately Export and Import won't bring across the local storage groups. Groups entered in Google do sync across back to the phone.

Q:
Type comparison not returning expected result
I am using the following code to compare types so that a DataContractSerializer will re-initialize with the correct type if necessary.
private void InitializeSerializer(Type type)
{
if (this.serializer == null)
{
this.serializer = new DataContractSerializer(type);
this.typeToSerialize = type;
}
else
{
if (this.typeToSerialize != null)
{
if (this.typeToSerialize.GetType() != type.GetType())
{
this.serializer = new DataContractSerializer(type);
this.typeToSerialize = type;
}
}
}
}
For some reason when I compare the two types the result is always true and I never enter the final 'if' statement and re-initialize my serialiser.
I can set a break point at the comparison and clearly see that the two types are
List<Host> (this.typeToSerialize.GetType()) and
Post (type.GetType())
Both Host and Post share a common ancestor but that shouldn't be affecting the result.
A:
You are calling GetType() on a System.Type. This will return a System.Type object that describes System.Type itself.
This makes the code
if (this.typeToSerialize.GetType() != type.GetType())
{
...
}
equivalent to:
if(typeof(System.Type) != typeof(System.Type)) // Always false
{
... // Never enters here
}
I'm guessing what you really mean to be doing is:
if(typeToSerialize != type)
{
...
}
A:
if (this.typeToSerialize != type)
looks more appropriate
A:
It looks as though you are comparing the types of two Type objects. I think you would need to compare the type objects themselves.
this.typeToSerialize != type
Both this.typeToSerialize.GetType() and type.GetType() will return typeof(Type) (the same object).

Secretion of glandular kallikrein and renin from the basolateral pole of mouse submandibular duct cells: an immunocytochemical study.
Glandular kallikrein from salivary glands in rats has been measured in the circulation and has been shown to have local vasoactive effects. In mice, renin and epidermal growth factor from the submandibular gland (SM) also reach the circulation, as both have been measured in plasma. The route by which these peptides enter the blood from their site of synthesis in ducts of the SM is unclear. We have investigated by immunocytochemistry the secretory pathways for kallikrein and renin from salivary duct cells in mice. The renal/pancreatic kallikrein-secreting cells of the striated and excretory ducts of the SM were distinguished from the granular convoluted tubule (GCT) cells which secrete other glandular kallikreins on the basis of data obtained in previous studies, in which we used gene-specific oligonucleotide probes to identify the expressing cell types. Renal/pancreatic kallikrein was apparently secreted constitutively from the basolateral surface of striated duct cells and in secretory vesicles from excretory duct cells, whereas apical secretion occurred via the regulated pathway in both cell types. Glandular kallikreins and renin synthesized in GCT cells were secreted from the basolateral surface by dissolution of granules at the cell membrane. There were fenestrated capillaries underlying the duct tree which would enable the secreted products to reach the circulation. |
The goal of this study is to gain an understanding of genomic copy number variants in humans and other primates. Copy number variants are large stretches of DNA sequence repeated a different number of times among the genomes of normal humans, which can influence transcriptional and translational levels (the amount of mRNA and protein created for a particular gene) and therefore susceptibility to diseases such as HIV infection. We will characterize the relationship between copy number variants and gene expression variation within and between humans and other primates, which will allow us to identify copy number variants that may be of considerable functional and biomedical significance. Narrative: The goal of this study is to gain an understanding of the structure and evolution of genomic copy number variation in primates and its impact on gene expression. Specifically, we will (i) assess whether levels and patterns of copy number variation in non-human primates are similar to those for humans and test for heterogeneity in the inter-specific fixation rate for copy number gains and losses, and (ii) characterize the relationship between copy number variants (CNVs) and gene expression variation across different timescales of primate evolution. Our work will provide the most comprehensive understanding to date of the relationship between copy number and gene expression variation in primates, allowing us to identify specific CNVs that may be of considerable evolutionary and biomedical significance. Our research team, which includes leaders in both the primate copy number variation and gene expression fields, is well positioned to collaboratively address these important issues. |

While apparently some key titles at the board were changed a few years ago, such as chief financial officer, among the recent casualties is the sign on the door to the office of Chief Caretaker Karen Griffith at Glenview Public School in the city’s affluent north end.
There, last week, staff noticed that the word “chief” had been blacked out on the door.
(Apparently, no thought or consideration had been given to how students of colour might react to the notion that a bad sign could be simply blacked out, and whether this is tantamount to cultural erasure.)
Presumably, board chair John Malloy will have to review and correct his C.V., where he is still described as former Chief Student Achievement Officer for the provincial education ministry.
Presumably, the board’s chief technology officer and chief information officer and chief social worker will all have to do the same. Etc., etc.

Attempts to find out precisely where in the TRC’s Calls to Action section there is any cry for the de-chiefing of the language in Canadian schools went unanswered. The board spokesman, Bird, tried hard on Postmedia’s behalf to get someone to respond but to no avail.
The best he could do, he said, was to suggest that the move didn’t necessarily come out of the TRC itself, but was “an aspect of a larger conversation staff have had” since the report was issued. Bird said he consulted with a TDSB elder who told him that probably “every Aboriginal person has been referred to as ‘chief’” in a derogatory way at some point in his or her life. |
Industry, innovation and social values.
Remaining important tasks in finding and developing new drugs and vaccines for HIV/AIDS, malaria, cancer and other diseases require continued industry research and development. Industry's research and development pipeline has produced drugs that have saved AIDS victims previously facing certain death, but still no cure nor vaccine is yet available. Experience with the process of research and development indicates that it requires more than a decade of development to produce a new drug with costs in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Intellectual property protection is critically important in assuring that drug development continues. Partnerships between industry and the public sector have increased access to new therapies in developing countries and promise to enhance access to both patented and generic medicines in the future. |

Q:
What can I substitute fennel pollen with?
In this simple spaghetti recipe, fennel pollen is used. From googling it, it sounds like MSG :). I'd rather not buy it since it's so expensive, so is there any way to substitute this stuff in the recipe?
A:
You might try ground fennel seed, or even anise, but they will not have quite the same quality. You would certainly have to increase the quantity.
In situations like this, I have to point out: it does not make sense to make a dish where you are forced to substitute for the ingredient which gives the dish its identity. Instead, make something where you can employ the star ingredient.

Quran Tafsir/Exegesis
By Dr Husni Hammuda
“There is a saying in Portuguese, that a man isn’t a man until he has done three thiings: He has become a father, he has planted a tree, and he has authored a book. This reminds me of a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad sws, which says that there are three things that live on after our death: A righteous child that prays for him, an ongoing charity that benefits others, and knowledge that he left behind to guide people to good deeds.”
By Sheikh Hasan Elwan.
A thought provoking khutbah about the true meaning of Sura Al Fiil (The Elephant). Through empathy we can understand the fear and pain of our enemy, and not to react in kind. We should understand and acknowledge their fear, and seek to win over their hearts and minds. By self-mastery, taming our inward state, we can become agents of mercy to others…

“Deep, penetrating knowledge is impossible without Taqwa, awe-inspired Allah awareness. For example, Al Khwarithmi was actually a scholar of Inheritance Law. He was so precise in his calculations that his work became known as “Algorithms” in mathematics. This amazing legacy is still in use today. It’s a vital part of computer programming. This is Allah’s gift to a talented servant whose search for knowledge was driven by Taqwa…” |
Q:
Server Aliases on NGINX
I'm moving a site to a new server running on NGINX. The old site's Apache2 VirtualHost has ServerAlias configured that I want to replicate in the NGINX configuration.
From what I've read on the NGINX Docs this seems to be simply achieved with server_name.
I just want to make sure what I have is correct.
From APACHE2
ServerAlias our-domain.com www1.our-domain.com our-domain.ie
To NGINX
server_name www.our-domain.com our-domain.com www.our-domain.ie our-domain.ie;
A:
Yes, just using server_name with serveral names is perfectly correct. The first name will be used as canonical one (similar to Apache ServerName), and others as aliases (similar to Apache ServerAlias).

With a converted VMware image, is there anything else I need to know?
Yes – you might still have issues getting it to work. Our recommendation is always to create a new system inside the ElasticHosts servers and install what you need, and send over data. Windows guests in particular dislike having their virtual hardware swapped around, so there are few guarantees that you’ll have a reliable system after conversion. That said, we recommend:
Remove VMware Tools before you shut down for conversion. This is the most important step.
Make sure when you run the converted file, you set the number of cores to at least two. This is in the advanced options for the server, and does seem to make Windows guests in particular more reliable.
Some users have had more success with the older RealTek virtual network card than the Intel one. If you do have issues, it’s certainly worth swapping. |
Q:
how to install emacs23 on Mac OSX without GUI
What's the best way to install Emacs23 on Mac OSX. I want to launch it from the terminal, without any X-windows or other GUI business.
I tried http://emacsformacosx.com/ but that launches a Mac application. I just want the text-only version inside of Terminal.
Thanks.
A:
I would think that any GNU Emacs would accept the -nw command line option; the http://emacsformacosx.com/ version included.
You can then use a shell alias or wrapper script to do that by default.
e.g. for bash, you could use alias emacs="emacs -nw" (and add it to your .bashrc file to make it persistent).

Vena cava filter devices.
Vena cava filters are effective in preventing pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with deep vein thrombosis or PE who either have contraindications to anticoagulation or have sustained a PE despite adequate anticoagulation. Although vena cava filters are not without complications, clinically significant morbidity and mortality are low. The use of vena cava filters as primary prophylaxis or therapy for deep vein thrombosis and PE should await the results of controlled trials. |
CHAPTER FOUR: It All Ends Here
Within three days, Lacan had improved enough to leave his bed. Zizek's dad gave him a new set of clothes, and he was able to wander the corridors and gardens by himself. But the one thing that troubled him was Zizek's absence. Since the morning when he'd first awoken in Ljubljana, he had not seen Zizek at all. It was as if his rescuer had simply disappeared. He had asked Zizek's dad where his son could be, but Zizek's dad had no answer. Zizek was gone without a trace.
Lacan desired to speak with Zizek again, and properly thank him for saving his life. But he also just wanted to see the handsome cultural theorist once more. He could not explain it, but he felt a deep connection to Zizek, either forged by the lifesaving bond or some other power, like maybe the desire that can only be formulated and named in the presence of the Other. He knew that Zizek was someone special. Someone he had to see again.
It wasn't until the sixth day after Lacan had recovered that Zizek returned to Slovenia. He rode up the same path where Lacan had been found, wearing the same sweaty t-shirt and dragging behind him a net filled with the heads of Chomsky and his anarcho-syndicalist pals.
'Here are your analytic philosophers!' he called to Lacan. 'I found them hiding out in a cave not far from here, whining about how continental philosophy is all style and no substance.'
Lacan stared in surprise, eyes going wide. 'You killed all of them by yourself?'
'I cannot let such dangerous creatures roam free in our lands,' Zizek replied. 'And I did it for you. They nearly killed you. I do not want anything like that to happen again.'
Lacan could feel his heart pounding as Zizek spoke. Zizek had killed... for him. Before he could stop himself, he leapt at Zizek and threw his arms around his neck, kissing the controversial cultural theorist.
Zizek laughed in surprise, but did not pull away. 'What was that for?'
'Just a thank you,' Lacan said. He smiled, but when he saw the suddenly serious look in Zizek's eyes, the smile faded. 'What is wrong?' he asked, worried.
'Lacan,' said Zizek, 'I have to confess something to you, something I can only articulate formulate in the presence of the Other. That first morning you were here... I thought you were so beautiful. I wanted to kiss you then and also talk to you of the Symbolic, but I did not know how you would react.'
Lacan gasped in shock. 'The… Symbolic?'
'I told myself I must not, because of the terrible ordeal you had just suffered. It was not the right time. But these past few days while I was gone, I could think only of you the entire time. And now...'
'Zizek...' Lacan sighed his name. 'I thought about you too. All the time, while you were gone. I was worried I would never see your hairy face again.'
Zizek lifted his hand to gently stroke Lacan on the cheek. 'I am sorry I ran off like that. I should have said something to you.'
Taking a deep breath, Lacan said, 'Zizek, there is something I have been considering over the past several days. I think we were meant to find each other. What happened to me... it was no accident of fate. I was meant to come here. You were meant to rescue me from Chomsky.'
A bright smile broke across Zizek's face as soon as Lacan had spoken. 'You know,' he said, 'I had been thinking the same thing! That night when I found you I had been worried and unable to think. Some strange power led me out to the terrace, and that was when I saw you.'
Lacan took Zizek's hand. 'So you think... we are meant to be together?'
'Sometimes love feels like a great misfortune, a monstrous parasite, a permanent state of emergency that ruins all small pleasures,' Zizek offered sagely, 'but not today.' Slowly, he leaned in and kissed Lacan softly on the lips. 'I love you,' he whispered through his unkempt beard.
'I love you too, Zizek,' Lacan whispered in return.

She didn't want to leave her. Leaving meant not being able to protect her. What if it happened again? What if Devil wasn't finished yet? What if the guards posted nearby betrayed her like Percival, Arvid, Nils, and Jostein (who all currently resided within the dungeons until further notice)? But Elsa also couldn't wake her. So deeply did Anna sleep. Her mind and body needed rest like never before. She had put on such an admirably brave front, but Elsa knew her little sister was shaken to the core – and rightly so. Her seldomly shed tears were enough proof.
Leonard waited at the door, having stealthily entered and stirred Elsa as quietly as he could. No words needed to be spoken. Although Elsa couldn't ignore an empty sensation in her stomach – perhaps because of the Soul Syphon – the kingdom of Arendelle wouldn't wait any longer. The votes had been cast. The day was heading into dinner time. The fate of Elsa as ruler and monarch rested in her people's hands. She tried to slip out of bed without moving the mattress too terribly, but just as both her feet touched the cool ground, Anna's hand grabbed hold of her sister's wrist, a little bit more of her strength, thankfully, having returned. Anna was still clearly fatigued on multiple levels, but the hours of rest had helped some at the very least.
'And where are you going, Missy?' She asked drowsily.
'There are still many political matters I must address today, Anna. Do not worry. Everything will be taken care of. You still need your rest.'
'Oh, okay.' For a moment, Elsa thought her sister truly had given up so easily, but in another second, she was pushing herself up and into a sitting position in the bed. 'So, I guess something big is happening today, huh?'
Leonard made a sort of snorting sound in seeming amusement.
'Pardon?' Elsa stammered.
'I'm pretty out of it, don't get me wrong, but I can still read you like a book sometimes, Elsa. What's going on?'
Elsa glanced to Leonard, seeking his guidance with how to go about this somewhat sensitive subject. The attendant simply gave his queen a nod of trust and approval.
'You…recall that Arendelle now knows about us, right, Anna?' Elsa began slowly.
'Yeah. I guess our secret isn't so secretive anymore…' Her voice was low, and she tugged at some of the bed's sheets fidgetily. Even Anna was capable of understanding the weight of this knowledge and what it meant for her future.
'I was forced to answer to my proclamations that day. In an attempt to be fair to all, I decided upon a voting day to allow Arendelle the choice between keeping me as its ruler or not.'
'R-really? So, when's that happening?'
'Today.' Elsa answered somberly.
'Great.' Anna shrugged. 'Is it too much to hope that we'll be okay?'
'…I think so, Anna. From what I have heard, the chances are not in our favour.'
A beat, but then Leonard spoke up with enthusiasm.
'If I might be so intrusive, but there has been a change in the mindset of some of Arendelle, my queen.'
Elsa's heavy heart lifted, but she held it down, not daring to become too hopeful in the face of such difficult adversity beyond her control.
'What sort of change?' The queen inquired curiously.
Leonard grinned broadly, but still held some reservation.
'Believe it or not, Devil made something of a spectacle of your final encounter with him. Perhaps he sought to paint you in an even more destructive light, but the end results proved to produce the opposite effect. He used his magic to make it possible for all of Arendelle to see within the walls of our holy sanctuary. I don't know who spread the word that you were confronting the troll in the chapel that night, but very few citizens of our city did not make time to see what you went through in order to save Princess Anna.'
A knot formed in Elsa's throat. So, Devil went so far to deface her? However, like Leonard said, perhaps the fact Elsa refused to sacrifice anyone but herself for Anna's life would help the queen's case.
'What was the popular consensus before the voting took place?' Elsa dug deeper, encouraging her thoughts not to entertain the glimmer of hope that continued to shine brighter in her mind.
'Kristoff and some of my more trusted men relayed that it is much less one-sided. It is impossible to say how your people ultimately decided to cast their vote, but it is no longer an impossibility for you to remain the ruler of Arendelle, my queen. We are…optimistic, yet cautiously so.'
'It would be foolish to be anything but.' Elsa sighed. She felt Anna's hand take hold of hers on the bed and she knew, whatever the results, it was all worth the struggle. 'I'm sorry, Anna. I wish I could have asked your opinion on the matter, but I had to make a decision.'
'Are you kidding?' Anna giggled, coughing a bit afterward and blinking rapidly to regain her focus. 'You could have just muscled your way through that kind of thing. This is the first time I've heard of a king or queen asking for his or her people's input, you know? It shows you really care about Arendelle and our citizens. It's super impressive. I…I get that what we have isn't okay and everything, but…but seriously; does it really bother everyone so much that they want to get rid of someone who is obviously so considerate and kind above and beyond their call of duty?'
'It does.' Leonard stated with finality. 'It affects everything, unfortunately. Our relations with other kingdoms help to sustain our economy and safety. If such relations are jeopardized, our very way of life becomes threatened alongside them. If the people of Arendelle cannot stand on a united front, nothing will change, and our kingdom will slowly crumble alongside its leadership.'
Anna caught her breath, gripping at her chest a little bit as she gathered herself. She looked so vulnerable. She would recover eventually, right?
'So…so everything gets decided today?'
Elsa nodded, squeezing her sister's hand and then releasing her.
'I will be addressing my people either way once the votes have been counted.'
'We wanted you to be present during the process, my queen, thus, why I am here now.' Leonard bowed, but Elsa could see that he was torn by what his future may hold in the coming hours.
'Thank-you. I will be ready within the hour. Have everyone necessary gather in the Royal Hall as soon as possible.' Elsa hesitated to continue, but if she was going to produce a speech, she needed the remaining details regarding Anna's revival and the final encounter with Devil.
'Before you go, Leonard, I must know what took place once I fell unconscious. Where is Devil?'
The bed stirred, and Elsa knew a chill had run through Anna's body at the mention of the monster.
'His whereabouts are completely unknown. However, upon stopping the connection between you and the Soul Syphon's power, he was quick to perform an alchemic miracle before all of Arendelle, the speed and majesty he processed such a powerful artefact dazzling if not for his evil nature. He, seemingly, allowed the Chronos Crystal to merge with Princess Anna's body, and then that was all anyone could witness before the chapel returned to normal, and not a soul could ascertain the mechanics behind Princess Anna's revival. Sir Daryun and a multitude of guards, naturally, stormed the building the moment they felt they could, but Devil was gone, with only his prisoners and two very weak Arendelle royal sisters to speak of.'
'I see. Is there a search party in pursuit?'
'…No. King Arthur convinced me it was pointless, and I have learned to agree with him. The manpower is better used here.'
'Good.' Elsa was quite relieved to hear that. It was a waste of time. Devil could be anyone and be anywhere. His command of dark magic exceeded Elsa's expectations. For now, however, she could begin believing it was over. Yet she couldn't shake the need to converse with the troll one final time. There were still so many unanswered questions. But not now. For now, a much more pressing matter demanded her attention.
'Thank-you again, Leonard. Please deliver my message and wait for me.'
'By your leave.' Leonard excused himself quickly. Time, as always, was running out. Elsa promised the inhabitants of Arendelle an answer by the end of this day. She wouldn't deny them the stability the majority of Arendelle desired. She turned to Anna despite all this, and fixed the right shoulder strap of her sister's nightgown, holding her touch on the girl's arm as she turned her head to the side a bit.
'This may have been one of the final nights we sleep in this castle, Anna.'
Anna's eyes fluctuated, but she shrugged hopelessly.
'I really don't like that idea. I love this place. It's my home. It's…it's our home. We grew up here. Yeah, there're some crummy memories, but there're way more good ones.'
'I agree.' Although Elsa's list of painful memories almost seemed to outweigh the pleasant ones. 'But I could do nothing else. Leonard claims there's hope, so let us hold on to that, shall we?'
Anna nodded, repositioning herself so that she was sitting up straight. Her head was swaying from side to side, whether she knew it or not, and Elsa hoped she wasn't considering joining her for the processing of the votes. The older sister wouldn't lie to herself though, for there really was little doubt as to what Anna would want to do.
'If you begin to feel too ill, make sure you are escorted to your room for rest. I know I can't stop you from coming, and honestly, I…I would like you to be there with me. I'm not sure how I'll feel if I learn I am no longer wanted as queen.' It was a piece of Elsa's identity that she didn't know she cared for so.
'Heheh.' Anna giggled happily as Elsa went to her closet, selecting the blue-hued replica dress that she had created when she first sought her freedom from Arendelle. It was one of her favourites, admittedly, as though she belonged in the sharp, elegant garb.
'I want to match.' Anna said suddenly, and Elsa's ears perked at the thought. It wasn't uncommon for them to compliment one another, but somehow this felt different. Perhaps it was because they were entering the public eye as lovers for the first time. It would be a statement. They wouldn't even be trying to hide the attachment the sisters shared.
'Match?'
'Yep. Something white. Something flowery. Something fun and cute.'
Elsa's cheeks were already burning at the thought. Her heart beat quickened, and her head began to float.
'I…wouldn't mind that.' Elsa admitted.
'Good.' Anna went to Elsa's side, grabbed a white, adorable spring dress for her sister, and smiled as she held it up against her. 'Alrighty. That's the ticket.'
'Should you be standing, Anna?'
'Oh, don't give me that. I'll be fine.'
Elsa considered forcing the issue, but she sighed, knowing better than to get in her sister's way of being up and about. Anna's skin tone was still a little pale, and the black under her eyes remained semi-present, but her spirit had improved dramatically, and Elsa loved having her so very close.
'Here we go.' Anna took the straps of Elsa's nightgown and pulled them over her sister's arms, slipping the one-piece down until it was bunched at her sister's ankles, only a tiny pair of silk underwear concealing the queen's lower body.
'Anna…' Elsa said in a warning tone, knowing immediately – simply by the way her little sister's touch had become a little tentative – that there was desire in the assistance.
'What?' Anna giggled, tracing her fingertips along Elsa's waist and hips. There was no way she couldn't feel the goosebumps that were instantly aroused. Not only that, but Elsa's voice betrayed her, a longing sigh escaping her lips.
'Your condition…' Elsa tried to rebel, but she knew she was gone. She couldn't reject this. She couldn't say "no". After everything they had been through, Anna still felt this sort of affection for Elsa, and it was a relief.
'The only "condition" I have is a crazy obsession with my older sister. Maybe I am a little nuts, but right now, I just want to feel you, you know? I want to be close to you. I…I never want to leave your side. I need to know this is real before anything else. All the details of everything can wait. I…I want you, Elsa. I want all of you…because, for a minute there, I thought I'd never see you again.'
Elsa's breathing faltered when she realized Anna was shaking. No other soul would be able to pick through the brave front her sister put on, but Elsa's instincts stabbed her in the gut, and she understood that Anna was traumatized by what had happened. Her becoming frozen to save Elsa was one thing, but being so brutally murdered before all of Arendelle? That wouldn't leave anyone any time soon. Anna's touch was a method of coping, and it wasn't sexual intimacy she was primarily seeking now; it was emotional and physical.
Elsa quickly turned to Anna and held her tight, gripping her against her body almost desperately.
'I'm here.' Elsa mumbled, blinking away the tears beginning to form. 'I'll be here no matter.'
'I-I know.' Anna whispered, and her rarely broken persona smashed Elsa's own. 'I know we gotta go, but I…kinda need this right now.'
'The world can wait.' Elsa guided Anna to the bed, easing her back onto it and propping herself atop her little sister, her hands on either side of her face. 'Arendelle can wait to deny that which is within our right to feel.'
'Oh, my! Queen Elsa learned how to sass while I've been gone!'
'I've always been a little sharp here and there.'
'That's true, I guess. Remember when I introduced you to Hans?'
'Ugh. Don't remind me.'
'Hahah! Oh, boy. I can be such a weirdo sometimes.'
'That's putting it gently.'
'Hey! Remember, I'm super fragile right now. Be nice.'
'Ah, yes. Of course.'
There was some laughter with a small pause afterward. Anna breathed out, reaching up and touching Elsa's face with more affection than another human could possibly transfer.
'I think…I thought you would never be mine in that way, so maybe I was just looking for a way out. I don't know. I didn't think about it much. I didn't want to. It scared me. I was so in love with you, but I thought it was just, you know, natural for a little sister. You were my idol. You were everything to me. And I'm saying the same things over and over, so I'll shut up now.'
'No…' Elsa sniffed, smiling but biting back the urge to sob. Just hearing Anna speak was enough to dishevel her, let alone hear Anna go on about how much she cared for Elsa. 'Never "shut up" around me. I want to always hear your thoughts. I never want there to be secrets between us again. I…I want to be with you…for…e-er…' Elsa became bashful, thinking she was beginning to sound juvenile.
'Forever?' Anna finished for her, beaming brightly, her own eyes glistening.
'Yes.' Elsa nodded, swallowing the unnecessary embarrassment. 'Forever. Forever and ever.'
'Heheh…!' Anna laughed, but she too was tearing up. 'Sounds like we're stuck with one another, then.'
'Not stuck; blessed.' Elsa corrected sternly.
'I know…I-I'm just kidding.'
'Whatever happens, I will not leave your side for a second.'
'Okay.' Anna's face was turning red as she noticed the way Elsa was leaning down, closing the gap between the two sister's faces.
'I'm so happy you're back, Anna. So very, very happy.' Elsa's voice cracked, and she found herself staring down at her sister, continuously consuming the fact she was alive again.
'Believe it or not, I'm pretty happy about it, too.' Anna shrugged, grinning slyly and clearly defusing the emotions overflowing within her.
Another pause, with both girls fighting back the urge to cry, laugh, scream, and lose control of the heat building between their bodies. Elsa eased herself down completely, her naked form – save for her underwear – pressing into Anna, causing the younger sister to gasp with near-excitement.
'Does that hurt?' Elsa whispered, her lips not even an inch from Anna's. She was thankful her snowgies were being so quiet. She wanted the illusion that she was completely alone with the princess of Arendelle.
'No. Not at all.' Anna breathed, the hints of her voice within the hushed denial seductive in its own right. 'But…Leonard's waiting, right? I-I mean…I want to, don't get me wrong, but…um…'
Elsa shook her head, scolding her sister with but a look and a raised eyebrow.
'I'm still the queen. Like I said, they can wait. They can wait for as long as it takes me to soak in every second of this moment. I have been without my sister and girl I love for an entire three days with the possibility of never seeing or hearing her again. I deserve this…and so do you. So,' Elsa fumbled with Anna's nightgown, lifting the bottom up until she could feel her sister's bare stomach against hers. 'Unless you tell me you aren't well enough, I'm going to make love to you in some way this very moment. Objections?'
'None.' Anna's mouth quivered, taken aback – in a good way – by the aggression.
'Dismissed.' And Elsa did her best to control the passion that had been suppressed for what felt like far too long. She kissed Anna gently at first, but the taste of her sister's lips, not to mention the familiar sensation of her soft skin, was intoxicating. Anna held Elsa's head tightly, wrapping her legs around the queen's hips and pressing their bodies even closer together. The fact Anna was so receptive in her quiet sort of way only added fuel to the fire burning in Elsa's soul. She had every intention of moving slowly with Anna, primarily because of her condition, but Anna showed no signs of wanting to stop even when Elsa haphazardly managed to lift the girl's nightgown over her head, feeling Anna's aroused chest tickling Elsa's own and sending chills through every part of her body.
'Ngh…!' Anna moaned when Elsa gave her bottom lip a small nibble, and the younger sister weaseled her hand down and between Elsa's legs, stretching the barrier of fabric that remained there until she could easily slide her fingers along and inside her older sister's slick womanhood.
'Ah…Yes, Anna…' Elsa was quick to reciprocate the favour, further relieved to find she could enter Anna with little effort, pleasuring her just as easily. Anna's pelvis flinched adorably, but she was soon swaying with Elsa's touch, hungrily adjusting to allow for more and more pleasure.
'Oh…I'm…getting really light-headed…' Anna mumbled disturbingly, but when Elsa tried to resist the urge to go on out of concern for her sister, Anna refused to allow such a thing, going so far as to grabbing hold of Elsa's wrist and forcing her to proceed.
'That doesn't mean stop…Silly…' Anna half-laughed, her dazed eyes somehow alluring to Elsa.
A shock went through Elsa's body, and she took Anna's hand from within her, lifting it up to their faces with her own sullied fingers so that she could consume the sweet nectar that only she would ever taste. Anna became just as greedy, the sisters' licking and kissing their hands and one another in a lewd, romantic way. Elsa, simultaneously, shifted her legs so that she could press her moistened groin against Anna's, stretching her underwear to the side so that she could have direct contact.
It was a warm, wet, and perfect, yet also a shallow representation of what both young women felt for one another. Their love became frantic and desperate with every second, the fear of ever being separated again fueling the heightened sexual experience. Anna wheezed tiredly, but she gripped onto Elsa, groaning in effort and ecstasy, as though this was everything she wanted to invest her energy into. She was constantly stealing glances of Elsa, and although the queen was self-conscious at first (considering the loosened expressions she was surely making in the midst of the intimacy), she could understand, for she too revelled in the beauty that was her little sister unravelled and utterly submissive to her desires.
Eventually, Elsa lost track of how many times she and Anna were shocked with microcosmic bursts of rapturous delight. With every position change and exchange of loving words, Elsa was ready for more and more and more of Anna's touch, her body, her kisses, and her whispers of undying affection.
As time went onward, and the sweat soaked about both girls' brows and bodies, Elsa longed for more. She felt she desired more, but didn't know how to approach the missing need. She wanted to become even closer to Anna somehow. Pleasuring her little sister with her own womanhood, her fingers, and her mouth was one thing, but Elsa found she lusted for the connection only a man was capable of having with Anna, and it irked her tremendously. So significantly was she bothered by this lack of ability did a semblance of rage take hold of Elsa while she and Anna were buried between one another's upper thighs and she unconsciously took a small bite of her sister, causing her to shriek and twitch away, breathing heavily as she stared at the roof, her small breasts heaving attractively.
'Whoa…! E-easy, Elsa! I'm already ridiculously sensitive right now…'
Elsa cursed herself, crawling up beside Anna and apologizing swiftly, cupping her sister's head into her arms gently.
'Sorry. I was…I suddenly felt…er…aggressive.'
'Yeah. I could feel that.' Anna giggled, blinking long and hard. 'But maybe it's for the best. I'm pretty sure it's almost been an hour, and I know "Arendelle can wait" and all that, but we might be pushing it a bit.'
'I'm more concerned about how you're feeling. You look pale again.' Elsa filed her inadequacies away for now, knowing they had no place in her life at the moment; not with what was to come the instant the girls left the queen's room.
'Well, yeah. I mean…that was a tiny bit intense. I loved it. Seriously. Like, seriously for serious. But…I'm super tired now.'
'Then rest. I will take care of everything else.'
'No way.' Anna pushed up onto the bed, her naked body already putting ideas into Elsa's head again. She couldn't stop desiring her because of the sheer love she felt toward Anna as a whole. 'I'm coming with you.'
'You already have; multiple times, in fact.'
Anna blinked, and then burst into laughter, holding her sides and shoving Elsa weakly.
'Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Did you just really say that?'
Elsa blushed furiously, regretting the attempt at humour. She wasn't suited to such jokes, but Anna's reaction was pleasant.
'It was foolish…'
'No! No way! I loved it! I guess we really are related, huh? I was wondering, since we can be so different, but then you go and say something like that and I'm thinking, "Yep. She's my sister.".'
'Indeed. We are sisters…' Elsa grinned melancholically, and Anna kissed her on the cheek.
'That just means we're sticking together, right?'
'Right.' Elsa nodded, loving the immense sense of companionship and unfiltered loyalty she felt from Anna. Gerda, Daryun, Rynn, Leonard, and Arthuria were one thing, but the relationship Elsa felt with Anna truly surpassed anything else by an insurmountable margin. This was why she fought so hard. This was completely and utterly worth it.
'Okay. Let's get dressed. I'm sure we're in a little bit of trouble, even if you are the queen and I'm the princess. That's not even mentioning the fact some of guards probably heard us. Oh, boy…'
Elsa nodded in agreement, taking Anna's hand and holding it tightly. She was still in an emotional high, and the thought of Anna being with her again wouldn't release her happiness.
'I love you.' Elsa couldn't help but say somewhat abruptly. 'I'll love you forever.'
Elsa could be very forward and also incredibly shy. Anna knew this was a statement that was normally hesitantly delivered out of that very shyness, so the pure resolve behind it made her heart skip anew.
'I-I love you, too, Elsa. I really, really do.'
'Whatever happens, I will be with you.'
'Same. Heheh.'
'It's all that matters to me now.'
'It's always mattered to me.'
The sisters kissed, and then it was finally time to confront the fate of Arendelle head on. Together. |
Q:
Is there a way to reduce the height of the accordion in codename?
I incorporated an accordion in my sidemenu as seen in the image. The Home and Logout are not in the accordion, so their height differs. I request for help on how to reduce the height of the accordion header.
I also request for help on how I can remove the border of an accordion. I tried setting the border to empty in the accordion's UIID but it didn't work.
A:
You can reduce the padding and font of the elements in the accordion to reduce the height of the accordion. This also lets you control the border.
You can find the applicable UIIDs in the component inspector tool. Specifically UIIDs to look at would be AccordionArrow and AccordionItem.

Question: I remember reading a while back that chicken and shrimp are low in fat but high in cholesterol. Is that true? My friend has a heart condition and his nutritionist told him shrimp and chicken were good to eat depending on how it was cooked. I would like to convince him otherwise. First, I want to make sure I have my facts straight.
Dr. Fuhrman: Animal products, including high protein white meat chicken raise cholesterol, not just because of its saturated fat and cholesterol content, but because animal protein also raises cholesterol. Secondly, it is not just about cholesterol. You must reduce low-phytochemical and low-antioxidant foods like animal products and leave room for the high-nutrient plant foods. |
Diffusion layer formation drives zone migration in travelling wave electrophoresis.
COMSOL finite element modeling software is used to simulate 2D traveling-wave electrophoresis for microfluidic separations and sample concentration. A four-phase AC potential is applied to a periodic interdigitated four-electrode array to produce a longitudinal electric wave that travels through the channel. Charged particles are carried along with the electric wave or left behind, depending on their mobilities. A simplified model of asymmetric electrode reactions resolves the issue of electric double layer shielding at the electrodes. Selective reactions allow for the formation of diffusion layers of charged particles which follow the traveling electric wave. These diffusion layers determine the transport of charged species through the system. Our model reproduces experimental separations of charged species based on mobility. With easy control over the frequency and direction, one may employ this method for concentrating and/or separating charged particles. |

Parody Of A Parody: James Franco's Most Meta Move Yet
Alright, so, the world has ended, the party's over, and Emma Watson is nowhere to be found, but Franco's home is still intact, and a surviving Playboy Bunny has joined them because she managed to survive, too. In true Real World fashion, the cast stops being polite and starts getting real — maybe a little too real. Between going to the bathroom in the hot tub, on the couch, under the couch, and all over the house, the parody verges on the brink of nasty. But, whatever, we're going to be real here: If it's wrong to laugh at this, we don't want to be right. |
India’s ‘loud objections’
Speaking at a conference on “Emerging security order in Asia Pacific and its impact on South Asia” in Islamabad the other day, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz expressed disappointment over India’s rejection of peace overtures and opposition to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Said he, “India’s loud objections to CPEC and its attempts to gain support of elements [read anti-Pakistan elements in Kabul] in the region are ill-advised”, adding that “co-operation between Pakistan and China is focused on economic development through connectivity and is not against any other country.”
Interesting, India’s stated objection to CPEC is that it is to pass through Gilgit-Baltistan, which is a disputed territory being part of Jammu and Kashmir. In that case, it should talk to Pakistan – something it stubbornly refuses to do – to resolve the unresolved issue of Jammu and Kashmir in accord with the wishes of the people of these areas. The underlying reason for challenging the CPEC, however, seems to be Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s deep-seated antagonism towards this country. His government continues to spurn Pakistan’s efforts for the resumption of the stalled peace dialogue, and has been unwilling even to honour a memorandum of understanding under which the two countries had decided to play cricket in the UAE. Another reason for the opposition to the CPEC is the country’s alignment with the US’ “Pivot to Asia” policy, which is primarily aimed at encircling China. In the fast changing geopolitical realities, it may not serve India well to court conflict instead of regional collaboration.
There are at least two strong arguments for India to join rather than oppose the CPEC which is to be connected to another corridor to provide the landlocked Central Asian Republics access to shipping routes in the Arabian Sea. As it is, for quite some time India has been seeking a land route to Central Asian markets for trade as well as to benefit from the region’s huge energy resources. The CPEC could provide it with the necessary infrastructure for the purpose. Secondly, as Sartaz Aziz pointed out, massive investments in the infrastructure envisaged under the project will generate enormous trade and investment, helping this country attain economic stability, and provide jobs to unemployed youth. India’s ultra Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi needs to understand that a stable Pakistan at peace with itself is in his own country’s interest. In any event, whether New Delhi supports or opposes the CPEC, the project is going to go ahead. With the present stance it risks being left out of a great project of economic progress via regional connectivity. |

WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission is in the advanced stages of its investigation into whether Facebook violated privacy rules and is expected to seek large fines from the company, according to two people familiar with the inquiry.
The five members of the commission met in mid-December to discuss the investigation, according to the people, who would speak only on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is not public. The meeting is a sign that the investigation is far along, the people said, because the commissioners rarely meet in the early stages of an inquiry.
The investigation, which began in late March, is continuing, and the commissioners and staff have not reached a final conclusion, including how much the agency might seek in fines, the people said. Consumer-protection and enforcement staff members have provided updates on what they believe is evidence of privacy violations, but they have not submitted a final report.
The commissioners would vote on any recommendations from the staff, including whether to pursue fines or other penalties. They do not always approve staff recommendations. |

This chapter discusses how the drawing of symbolic boundaries between ethnic and racial groups and peer expectations of racial authenticity affect teens' taste preferences, focusing on the subtle differences in taste preferences between the Indian, Afro-Caribbean, Indo-Caribbean, and white students in the schools. Hip-hop's association with African Americans has elevated black racial identity to high status among peers. Non-black students are sometimes chastised for acting black or inauthentic consumption of black popular culture. Hence, ethnic groups have found ways of engaging with hip-hop that connected with their particular ethnicity. Afro-Caribbean youth are equipped with the most authentic claim to hip-hop because of hip-hop's black roots. South Asian youth engage in hybrid bhangra–hip-hop and Hindi-hip-hop styles because they cannot easily boundary-cross in their consumption without being seen as racially inauthentic. The white youth in London choose from myriad cultural styles. Hence, although popular youth culture and status considerations exist in all social contexts, regardless of race and class, their manifestations differ by race and ethnicity. |
Q:
When is it safe to use a web based FTP client?
Is it safe to use a web based FTP client? If so, when? What should I watch out for?
A:
Probably not - if you enter your FTP details into a website, you have no idea where they could end up. Furthermore, FTP is insecure anyway - any data transferred over it (including your login details) is viewable in transit in clear text. This could be between the web service and the FTP server, even if the connection to the web service uses HTTPS. In this case, you can't see what is going on, since you personally have no access to that connection.
Ideally, use SFTP, directly from your machine, or over a VPN - in either case, everything beyond the initial connection is encrypted, including credentials and data.

It depends. A web-based FTP client is in a way like a proxy. How much you trust such a proxy depends on how much control you have over it. If this web -based FTP gateway is in your company’s network, you could probably trust it like you trust your local proxy, because the gateway is in full control of your company.
If it is instead some random FTP gateway outside, you should not trust it, the same way you should not trust some random external proxy. Instead, you should ask yourself why the gateway is there and what their business model is. For instance, public proxies often inject advertisement into the traffic or even grab your credentials to use them somewhere else.

Let's restate your question from:
When is it safe to use a web based FTP client?
to:
When is it safe to use FTP?
We can restate the question because if you are using regular FTP (non-encrypted), the answer is the same whether it is web based or not:
It is safe to use regular FTP when you don't care if your credentials are compromised.
It's really that simple. You could add a caveat about the FTP server and client both being on an internal network, but then you have to make the assumption that the internal network is completely secure. It's probably safer to not have to make that assumption if you care about your credentials.
