How to Create and Manage Discussion Groups for Gifted Kids
In addition to meeting the academic needs of gifted
students, it is also important to address affective issues they may have. These
bright kids benefit from being with others who are highly intelligent and with
whom they can discuss social and emotional issues that may set them apart.
Terry Bradley is a gifted education advisor from Colorado who
specializes in social and emotional needs of very bright students. For years,
she has facilitated affective discussion groups with gifted middle school and
high school students. In these groups, kids talk about issues they have in
common and how life looks and feels through the lens of giftedness.
Bradley feels that there needs to be a balance between
appropriate academic and emotional opportunities. Very bright kids often share
similar characteristics such as intensity, sensitivity, heightened moral and
ethical codes of behavior, and the ability to process feelings more thoroughly
and deeply. Discussion groups provide a forum where students have the
opportunity to express themselves as they truly are.
In her article, Beyond Academics: Discussion Groups ThatNurture Affective Growth in Gifted Students, Bradley explains the difference between affective education and
counseling. She also offers a step-by-step guide for adults who want to
start discussion groups in their own schools. Topics include getting support,
the optimum group size, frequency of meetings, choosing discussion topics, and
encouraging participation. She describes specific activities that she uses as
well as communication techniques. Outside resources are also included.
If you do not already have a social/emotional discussion
group established at your school, consider starting one. Even if you already
have a group up and running, you will find the ideas in Bradley’s article to be
helpful.

Q:
How to set visibility of a control within an UpdatePanel that uses an UpdateProgress control?
I have an update panel on a page which contains nested Panels. It has a Panel with a small form (like a log-in form) and a button. When the button is clicked, a few conditions are checked, and if passed, the first Panel is hidden and the second Panel with a larger form is displayed.
Because the larger form can take some time to load (it pulls data from other sources), the small form panel contains an UpdateProgress control.
All of this works fine.
Then I added a nested Panel within the login form Panel, placed under the UpdateProgress that will display a meaningful error message, such as if the login code is incorrect. This displays as expected. However, if the user then corrects their information and clicks the button again, the UpdateProgress displays properly, but the error message remains visible, even though I try to set it to Visible = false in code-behind.
This page does not use a master page.
Debugging shows that the Visible property does get set to false, although it still displays in the browser.
ASPX code:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="custom_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head runat="server">
<!-- meta and link tags -->
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div class="container">
<!-- h1 and all that -->
<asp:ScriptManager ID="scriptManager" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="pnlUpdate" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlLogin" runat="server">
<!-- label and text field -->
<asp:Button ID="btnBegin" runat="server" OnClick="btnBegin_Click" />
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="updProgress" runat="server" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="pnlUpdate">
<ProgressTemplate>
<p>Loading, please wait... </p>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlMessage" runat="server" Visible="false">
<asp:Literal ID="ltlMessage" runat="server" />
</asp:Panel>
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlMainForm" runat="server" Visible="false">
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlConfirmation" runat="server" Visible="false">
</asp:Panel>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</div>
</form>
<!-- javascript - jquery and bootstrap -->
</body>
</html>
Code Behind (I've tried setting visible to false in the Page_Load, in the pnlUpdate_Load event, and in the btnBegin_Click event - but that error message will not go away.
protected void btnBegin_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
pnlMessage.Visible = false;
Page.Validate();
if (Page.IsValid)
{
// check some conditions. if fails:
ltlMessage.Text = "Reason for failure";
pnlMessage.Visible = true; // works
}
}
I have tried removing the Visible="false" from the pnlMessage on the ASPX page and placing it in the code behind in Page_Load but I still can't hide it after the message has already been displayed.
How can I hide the pnlMessage Panel after the btnBegin is clicked the second time?
A:
I managed to find the solution to this. Apparently there isn't a way to do it in .NET - it has to be done in JavaScript.
Here is the code I used to accomplish this.
<script type="text/javascript">
var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();
prm.add_initializeRequest(initializeRequest);
prm.add_endRequest(endRequest);
var _postBackElement;
function initializeRequest(sender, e) {
if (prm.get_isInAsyncPostBack()) {
e.set_cancel(true);
}
$get('pnlMessage').style.display = 'none';
}
function endRequest(sender, e) {
$get('pnlMessage').style.display = 'block';
}
</script>

They had a commercial where they showed all the kids that were conceived on the different super bowls. Made no sense. Then there was a Doritos commercial where it had a baby still in the womb and it was reacting to its father teasing it with a dorito. The group for pro abortionists got offended cause they said it "humanizes" the fetus.
I didn't watch it either. I saw the puppymonkeybaby thing here on imgflip like you did, looked up what it was, and thought it was pretty disgusting.
I thought it would make a good Bad Luck Brian meme since it seems like bad luck to me. It's just my small way of "getting back" at the Mountain Dew people who made a bad Superbowl commercial that I didn't see. :) |
Rank/Rankl/opg: literature review.
The discovery of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB (RANK)/RANK Ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway contributed to the understanding of how bone formation and resorption were processed and regulated. RANKL and OPG are members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and TNF receptor (TNFr) superfamilies, respectively, and binding to receptor activator of NF-kB (RANK) not only regulate osteoclast formation, activation and survival in normal bone modeling and remode-ling, but also in several other pathologic conditions characterized by increased bone turnover. There is accumulating evidence of the potential role of OPG and RANKL in other tissues. Looking beyond the RANK/RANKL/OPG axis, Wingless (Wnt) pathway emerged as the osteoblast differentiation way, and also as a bone mass regulator. Researchers have been discovering new molecules and cytokines interactions. Altogether, data suggest that RANK/RANKL/OPG system could be targeted as a new treatment strategy in bone conditions. FREEDOM is the more recently published clinical trial about a RANKL-specific recombinant fully human monoclonal antibody (denosumab). OPG is also a potential innovative therapeutic option to be investigated. |
Q:
Are buffer overflows on websites stoppable?
Recently, I was at the bookstore checking out books on computers. I found an interesting book on various types of hacks and how to stop them on your servers.
One that caught my eye was the "buffer overflow". It was basically the hacker removing the limit on an input box, typing random gibberish into the input, and then sending it to the server.
The server would get a buffer overflow, and most likely crash.
Sadly, in this book, it did not include any information on how to stop these attacks. And to me, these attacks sound pretty unstoppable.
Scenario one:
I am the owner of a server. On the server, there is a website with a forum. In the forum, I have the user submit information to the server. The input box does NOT have a limit on it
How would I be able to stop a buffer overflow, if one is possible?
Scenario two:
I am the owner of a server. On the server, there is a website with a forum. In the forum, I have the user submit information to the server. The input box has a limit on it.
How would I be able to stop a buffer overflow?
A:
Limiting text in an HTML form doesn't really stop buffer overflows because a bad actor can edit your HTML or not use it at all.
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities are caused by programming errors. Programs processing the data on the server must, if using fixed size buffers, count characters as they're stored and store no more than the allocated number of bytes. When the buffer is full, the program must either allocate more memory or stop accepting data.
For web sites, this means not writing CGI programs in languages like C unless you are absolutely, positively sure you know what you're doing, and maybe not even then.
If you are using a scripting language like PHP, the language processor can have buffer overflow faults. About all you can do about that is keep PHP, web server (e.g. Apache) etc. up to date and read the bug reports. Mostly at the programming level, one isn't dealing with fixed size "buffers" in those languages, but you should still check input lengths as part or normal data validation.
Secure programming requires that you make no assumptions about any data that comes into your program from the outside. Instead you must validate everything. Validate by checking for acceptable values, not trying to "enumerate badness."
Enumerating badness (Marcus Ranum's term) means trying to filter out the things you know are bad. All the bad actors have to do is find some badness you didn't think of and you're hosed. Instead, accept only those things you know are good and reject the rest. If you mistakenly leave something out of the things to accept, your program will break and you will fix it. That's far better than having a compromised system.

To whom it may concern,
It is with no regret whatsoever that I rescind and renounce my membership in SFWA. I wish nothing more to do with the organization and no more contact with it.
The cause which impels the separation is clear enough: over a period long enough to confirm that this is no mere passing phase, the SFWA leadership and a significant moiety of its membership has departed from the mission of the organization, and, indeed, betrayed it.
The mission of SFWA was to act as a professional organization, to enhance the prestige of writers in our genre, to deter fraud, and to give mutual aid and support to our professional dreams.
It was out of loyalty to this mission that I so eagerly joined SFWA immediately upon my first professional sales, and the reason why I was so proud to associate with the luminaries and bold trailblazers in a genre I thought we all loved.
When SFWA first departed from that mission, I continued for a time to hope the change was not permanent. Recent events have made it clear that there is not reasonable basis for that hope.
Instead of enhancing the prestige of the genre, the leadership seems bent on holding us up to the jeers of all fair-minded men by behaving as gossips, whiners, and petty totalitarians, and by supporting a political agenda irrelevant to science fiction.
Instead of men who treat each other with professionalism and respect, I find a mob of perpetually outraged gray-haired juveniles.
Instead of receiving aid to my writing career, I find organized attempts to harass my readers and hurt my sales figures.
Instead of finding an organization for the mutual support of Science Fiction writers, I find an organization for the support of Political Correctness.
Instead of friends, I find ideologues bent on jihad against all who do not meekly conform to their Orwellian and hellish philosophy.
Politics trumps Science Fiction in the modern SFWA.
I am willing and eager to work alongside anyone sharing an enthusiasm for fantasy and science fiction, and to put aside as irrelevant all discussion and inquisition and condemnation of personal opinions on matters religious, political, and social, which are no part of that business.
We are not a political party, or so I thought.
Too many members and leaders in SWFA are not willing to reciprocate. They are not even willing, out of common courtesy or common decency, to withhold their pens from libel and their tongues from slander.
To the devil with them.
To the rest, those honest writers in SWFA who remain members out of inertia or false hopes of reform, it is with sorrow and respect I say my farewell and take my leave,
John C. Wright.
POSTSCRIPT and ADDENDUM: Several people, both publicly and privately, have asked me for the details of my claims, to name the events and persons involved. I politely but firmly decline to do so since some of the names are those I have worked with in the past and might work with in the future, men whose work I read with pleasure and admiration, and I seek no public shame to visit them. Such is the courtesy which, at one time, one professional expected from another. I find it sad that I am required to explain it. And it would be ironic indeed if I failed to display the professionalism whose lack forms my main complaint. As for the public examples of similar unprofessional antics, these are clear enough to anyone paying attention; those who are not paying attention have no reason to pay attention to this letter. |

Kosher foods are those that conform to Jewish dietary laws as given in the Torah and expanded by the rabbis. People who keep kosher do not eat certain animal species including pigs, birds of prey, and crustaceans. They also do not eat the blood of any animals, nor do they consume animals that have not been slaughtered in an approved manner. And people who keep kosher also do not mix dairy and meat products in single meal, instead waiting a set amount of time between these two categories of food.
In modern times, when many foods are processed in factories, some food manufacturers affix labels to their foods to indicate that they are kosher. Kosher certification confirms that a leg of chicken comes from an animal that has been slaughtered in a kosher manner, or that a can of soup has been prepared in a facility that ensured non-kosher ingredients did not come into contact with the contents of the can.
The laws of keeping kosher are ancient, and many have sought an explanation for their origin — especially the Jewish taboo against eating pig — in the idea that this diet conveys health benefits. The idea is that pig meat was more likely to be diseased and avoiding it was a way to remain healthier. Though there may be some truth to this explanation, it doesn’t provide a strong explanation for all of the Jewish dietary regulations.
Is a Kosher Diet Healthier Than Other Diets?
Today, while many Jews keep kosher for religious reasons, some people (Jews and non-Jews) prefer kosher food because they believe it to be healthier. For one, they know that processed kosher foods are more closely supervised than other foods. And fresh foods, like salad greens, are carefully inspected for insects.
But while many, though not all dietitians might agree that not eating pig meat — or at least not consuming it in large quantities — is in fact beneficial to one’s health, there is little reason to think that a kosher diet is inherently healthier than any other. Just as a vegan diet composed entirely of beer and french fries is unlikely to improve one’s health, a kosher diet that is loaded with processed meats and soda (read the interesting history of how Coca Cola became kosher!) is not likely to convey health benefits. Indeed, many of the traditional Ashkenazi foods that are thought of as quintessential “Jewish food” are not considered the most healthy foods around. (Traditional Sephardic cuisine may in fact be much better for you.) There is also a concern that to avoid bug contamination in produce, kosher vegetables are sprayed with extra pesticides that are not great for human health.
Although there is wide disagreement about what constitutes a healthy diet, one can pursue almost any diet (vegan, vegetarian, whole foods, paleo, keto, Mediterranean, etc.) while keeping kosher. As a bonus, raw vegetables and fruits are inherently kosher! So eat your veggies. |

Q:
How to use wkHtmltoPdf to generate PDf files from statcic html files in JS
Can anyone suggest how to use wkhtmltopdf in JS to generate PDF files from static html files?
wkhtmltopdf - http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
All answers say run "wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com google.pdf"
But run the code where? On a server? On a browser? On a command line?
Any code samples will be helpful
A:
As per the project's homepage: it's a command line tool.
What is it?
wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are open source (LGPL) command line tools to render HTML into PDF and various image formats using the QT Webkit rendering engine. These run entirely "headless" and do not require a display or display service.
In your server-side application, you can call the binary and wait for its output (for PHP, it's basically $output = exec("wkhtmltopdf $url $options");). There used to be an example wrapper on the project's Google Code wiki, but it seems to be gone.
If you're using PHP and don't want to write a wrapper yourself then you can use this one. If there's no wrapper for your chosen server-side language, then try making one yourself. It's not hard.
Your front-end JavaScript will have to call (probably using AJAX) a script that runs on your server to generate the PDF.

In conventional seat actuators, friction brakes have been used to lock the position of the actuator in place. However, concerns have been raised over the use of friction brakes in aircraft seat actuators that must withstand crash loads. One proposed solution has been to use non-brackdriveable worm gears to address this concern. However, the use of these worm gears results in a gear train having a very low efficiency. |

I think skirts are my favourite clothing item, especially the bodycon type because they're so easy to dress up or down. You can also choose to tuck your shirt in or leave it out like I did above.
If you look closely at this outfit, you'll see this weird obsession that I have - matching accessories to my handbag. If the bag is lined with a gold zipper or buttons, I try my best to wear gold. In this case my crossbody bag is black and silver, so naturally my accessories are silver. I'm not sure why I do this, and sometimes when I can't match them together (it happens), the entire outfit throws me off.Tell me: Do you have any weird clothing obsessions or pet peeves? I'd love to know! |

Where does informatics fit in health care organizations?
Why is medical informatics important to health care leaders? As an emerging science, informatics focuses on applying computing and communication technology to decision making for clinicians and managers. It enhances the understanding of how information and communication systems can impact the work health care managers must accomplish. As the cost of technology for digital information management continues to decline, organizations and individuals will look for ways to offset the human costs of managing and conveying information. The way of the paper medical record is being replaced by the less expensive and more efficient digital information systems. Leaders of health care organizations need to look for every opportunity to deploy networks and computers to reduce the labor costs of data collection, storage, retrieval, and analysis. |

Whyte prototype cyclo-cross bike
Share
For the upcoming CX Sportive this weekend Whyte Bikes have sent us a sneak glimpse of its latest bike currently in development which will debut at the Trail Break organised event.
In an interesting move the company has decided to branch out into the cyclo-cross market with its first ‘cross bike. For the uninitiated cyclo-cross bikes are essentially road bikes modified with wider knobbly tyres and improved mud clearance and, until recently cantilever brakes.
A new ruling by the sports governing body, the UCI, has declared disc brakes can be used in international competition and this move has led to a sudden growth of disc brake equipped cyclo-cross bikes. What this means for us mountain bikers is that now cyclo-cross bikes, which might have initially been of little interest, are a more attractive proposition for addition to our bike collections.
And so Whyte’s prototype ‘cross bike is disc-specific, that much we know. It’s also got a BB30 bottom bracket for stiffness, and appears to use Whyte’s experience in hydroformed aluminium frames. The tubing and geometry are subject to change as this is apparently an early prototype in the ride testing development stage.

Q:
Checking if a Vector3 is being shown on the screen
I was wondering whether or not there's a method to check if a Vector3 point in 3D space is being viewed by the camera, or perhaps to check whether or not the point is being shown on the screen.
A:
Yes, just feed your view and projection matrices into a bounding frustum like this:
//class scope variables
BoundingFrustum boundingFrustum;
//in the init method
boundingFrustum = new BoundingFrustum();
//In the Update method or wherever you need to run a check check
boundingFrustum.Matrix = view * projection;
bool isPointInView = boundingFrustum.Contains(Vector3ToTest);

The present invention relates to a zoom viewfinder, and more particularly to a viewfinder capable of zooming movement, for use with a zoom camera lens system of a lens shutter camera, a video camera, an SVC, or the like.
Some cameras, such as compact lens shutter cameras, have a viewfinder having its own optical axis which is in a position different from the optical axis of the camera lens system. Since the optical axes of the viewfinder and the camera lens system, there is a difference in viewpoint between the viewfinder and the camera lens system, a phenomenon known as the viewfinder parallax.
There have recently been developed compact lens shutter cameras with variable magnification. When such a camera makes zooming movement, the camera lens barrel is extended. At this time, the lens barrel may get into the viewfinder field, resulting in vignetting of light rays passing through the viewfinder.
To avoid the vignetting, it is necessary to keep the optical axes of the zoom camera lens system and the zoom viewfinder sufficiently away from each other. This solution then causes the parallax to be increased.
Efforts to improve zoom camera lens systems are always directed to an increase in the magnification ratio and a reduction in the close distance, among other things. However, increases in the magnification ratio and reductions in the close distance also result in an increase in the parallax, thus impairing the zoom viewfinder function unless some suitable measures are taken. There has been proposed no solution for solving the problem of the increased parallax. |

Q:
Does Android batch UI operations or re-draw every single command?
This question came to my mind when re-binding data to views in RecycleView. Before selectively applying UI changes to the views, I usually reset them all to their default states.
Such as
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
/* Reseting to normal/default state */
holder.title.visibility = View.VISIBLE
holder.poster.visibility = View.VISIBLE
/* Applying data */
if (data.poster.url == null) {
holder.poster.visibility = View.GONE
}
}
Here the poster View has potentially its visibility changed to VISIBLE and GONE again within a very short time interval.
Does Android actually invalidate and request drawing for both visibility changes? For example, if before binding, holder.poster view was GONE, then Android would draw it visible and then gone again?
Or does it batch them and only execute the latest state? For example, if we want the app to run at 60fps, it might batch UI operations in 16ms intervals. I can change Visibility hundreds of times, but it will actually draw the very last state within that 16ms batch.
A:
The 2nd point holds true, but for a much more simple reason in your use-case.
The onBindViewHolder method runs on the main thread. Thus no other operation is possible on that thread until it returns.

SOME WINES are known by their grape names (e.g., Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio) and some are identified by their region of origin (e.g., Bordeaux), while certain others are lumped into unhelpfully large groups (e.g. rosé). Spanish whites is another category that may be ridiculously sprawling, with dozens and dozens of white grapes grown in the country, but it's how many wine drinkers think about the whites that come from there—at least the ones that aren't Albariño.

LaVar Ball pleads for one-on-one shot with Michael Jordan at his statue
LaVar Ball pleads for one-on-one shot with Michael Jordan at his statue
LaVar Ball still continues to spout outlandish comments out of his mouth, which is a surprise to, well, no one.
Ball, who is known for delivering the hottest of hot takes, may have been asked by the Lakers to tone it down a bit, but he’s still going strong. Not too long ago, he insinuated that LeBron James was lucky to play with Lonzo Ball — rather than the other way around — and now he still continues to believe he could beat Michael Jordan if the two played one-on-one.
Papa Ball showed up to Jordan’s statue, and he continued to drive the one-on-one train. |
## Transparent Data Encryption
Hard-coded within the Oracle Database core product, two features comprise this option:
Enables you to encrypt data so that only an authorized recipient can read it.
Use encryption to protect sensitive data in a potentially unprotected environment, such as data you placed on backup media that is sent to an off-site storage location. You can encrypt individual columns in a database table, or you can encrypt an entire tablespace.
After the data is encrypted, this data is transparently decrypted for authorized users or applications when they access this data. TDE helps protect data stored on media (also called data at rest) in the event that the storage media or data file is stolen.
Oracle Database uses authentication, authorization, and auditing mechanisms to secure data in the database, but not in the operating system data files where data is stored. To protect these data files, Oracle Database provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). TDE encrypts sensitive data stored in data files. To prevent unauthorized decryption, TDE stores the encryption keys in a security module external to the database, called a keystore.
You can configure Oracle Key Vault as part of the TDE implementation. This enables you to centrally manage TDE keystores (called TDE wallets in Oracle Key Vault) in your enterprise. For example, you can upload a software keystore to Oracle Key Vault and then make the contents of this keystore available to other TDE-enabled databases.
**Benefits of Using Transparent Data Encryption**
- As a security administrator, you can be sure that sensitive data is encrypted and therefore safe in the event that the storage media or data file is stolen.
- Using TDE helps you address security-related regulatory compliance issues.
- You do not need to create auxiliary tables, triggers, or views to decrypt data for the authorized user or application. Data from tables is transparently decrypted for the database user and application. An application that processes sensitive data can use TDE to provide strong data encryption with little or no change to the application.
- Data is transparently decrypted for database users and applications that access this data. Database users and applications do not need to be aware that the data they are accessing is stored in encrypted form.
- You can encrypt data with zero downtime on production systems by using online table redefinition or you can encrypt it offline during maintenance periods. (See Oracle Database Administrator’s Guide for more information about online table redefinition.)
- You do not need to modify your applications to handle the encrypted data. The database manages the data encryption and decryption.
- Oracle Database automates TDE master encryption key and keystore management operations. The user or application does not need to manage TDE master encryption keys.

Q:
Implementing dynamic typing in C
Possible Duplicate:
Representing dynamic typing in C
A professor at my History of Computation side-lecture went into great depth about manifestly typed or type-inferred languages and generally praised the greatness of latently typed languages (faster dev times, dynamic systems, etc...).
The same day, at an Automata Class, another prof says:
Dynamic typing makes things more complex by adding more ways to do the same thing.
I've been using statically typed languages most of my life : C/C++/Java - my only exposure to the other has been Shell Coding and Ren'Py.
My question is, can I write a simple program in C that implements some of the benefits of both ?
For instance, I could create Unions to accept all user driven data, like so :
typedef union {
int int_type;
char char_type;
//and so on
} dynamic;
// Var Creation :
dynamic data;
// For unknown return type
void* function(dynamic data);
I realize a Union could compromise type-safety, but that is what I'm trying to do here. What other approach could I take ? I'm just trying for a demonstration.
I tried for an answer from this question. But honestly, I could not follow the arguments closely.
I apologize if the question seems silly.
PS
Using suggestions from below, I wrote this : http://codepad.org/A9JAX8lD, which basically does nothing much dynamic, but is at least a start.
I think I see what both my professors were trying to say.
A:
My suggestion is not to try doing dynamic typing in a statically typed language. It will most likely have sub-par performance and a very strong syntactical burden. Instead, if you only ever have experienced statically typed languages, I would strongly suggest trying out Python. It is highly dynamic and will learn you new ways of thinking.
And last but not least, there also is Cython which is a Python dialect using C as intermediate language. It can mix static typing and dynamic typing, it's really refreshing.

THE EMOTIONAL GARDENER
When her shadow overwhelms her with self-sabotaging thoughts, or begins to question what she knows is right, Caroline Buchanan gets out her metaphorical trowel and tends to some emotional gardening. Could it be the perfect analogy for a happier mind?
Caroline Buchanan
The other day, I had a chat with a young man who was worried that he might shortly do something very unwise. ‘I understand what you’re saying, but you don’t have to do that,’ I said. ‘The seed is planted in my head,’ he replied. ‘But you don’t have to water it!’ I shot back at him. Where my reply came from, who knows? But it was advice I immediately decided to start taking myself.
When negative thinking, low selfesteem, worry, or the critical gremlin on your shoulder attacks, it’s time to get out the trowel and spade, and practise some emotional gardening. You need to feed and water the good stuff, weed out the rubbish, and cut out the bindweed before it grows and takes hold. Then, with the ground all beautifully prepared, you can start planting, nourishing and growing. |
Q:
At/in/within any time range
Which of the following should I say
At any time range, report A has a higher total than report B.
In any time range, report A has a higher total than report B.
Within any time range, report A has a higher total than report B.
Also should I say time range or time frame in this case? Thank you very much.
A:
'At' should be used with singular times; not with ranges, which have two ends. 'Within' adds some nuance to 'in' that reinforces the notion of range. A range of time is commonly a '[time] period'.

Q:
How to add an error to request context rather than throw exception in Spring
How can I set an error in Request Context rather than throw an Exception?
Like:
void valid(Object o){
if(o == null){
//add an error to Request context
//I want to avoid the throw new ....
return;
}
}
A:
I believe exception is not a functionality to be avoided.
It was created for a purpose, and should be used in this way.
The problem is when devs use them to help on the application's flow, because exception is an expensive solution for that, and there are other ways for doing so.
There is nothing wrong in throwing a BadRequestException for example when there is some user input failure. Some frameworks are already expecting specific exceptions, and most of them is already prepared for treatment for customized exceptions.

The present invention relates to a polychrome lighting device, particularly adapted for use in household and work spaces, in the theatrical, catering, and showbusiness fields, and the like.
Conventional lighting means used to light indoor spaces of buildings and the like are currently predominantly constituted by so-called white-light lamps, which emit a light which is often "cold" and therefore not particularly pleasant both from the visual point of view and from the emotional point of view for people living in such enclosed spaces.
Studies have proved a close correlation between the mood of an individual, his working efficiency, and the type of light that illuminates the space in which he lives.
In other fields, for example in the theatrical field, where it is indispensable to provide particular stage effects, it is commonly known to use a light source in front of which colored filters are placed in order to provide desired color combinations.
A drawback of this solution is the need to move the various filters manually in front of each other, with the problem of the noise linked to this movement and of the complexity of the device which is required.
For example, in the case of theaters, where absolute silence is required, such a solution has considerable drawbacks in application.
The transfer of this solution to other enclosed spaces appears to be even more troublesome due to the difficulty in finding adapted spaces and to cost and complexity issues. |

BECK: Stop the music for just a second, because I want to, I want to lead with my mistakes. I have always told you that if I make a mistake, I'm going to lead with it. You also know that I don't apologize willy-nilly for things. I don't, I don't really care, you want to boycott me, boycott me, you disagree with me and you want to cause all kinds of problems and call me a racist, or whatever, you go ahead and do that. Let the chips fall where they may. That is my belief, if I know I have something right. If I have something wrong, I've always told you that I want to lead with it. Well, I made a mistake on Tuesday, and I want to make sure that you understand that I was wrong on this and I, and that I also apologize for it.
I do this, because I have always told you to do your own homework, and in this case, I didn't do enough homework. I also tell you that you, you have to guard your word, you have to guard your honor and your integrity, because people have to be able to believe you. The only way people will believe you is if when you get it wrong, you do apologize, and you, and you point it out, and not like the New York Times or anybody else, bury it on page two. I lead with my mistakes, because I think it's important as a human being to demonstrate to other human beings that we can be stronger if we correct our mistakes and flaws and move on.
With that being said, I think it was on Tuesday that I was making a point about political activists, and I started to talk about the difference in Rabbis. Somebody has called me ignorant for what I, what I said on Tuesday, and I think that's a pretty good description of my, what I said. I had, was having a conversation with a few friends the night before--one of them, I trust on things like this, and I'm not even sure if I misunderstood him, or misheard him, or what, but I certainly had not done enough homework to be able to go on the air and haphazardly make a comment, like I did, and it was just about political activists, it was, you know, I'm not going to rehash it, but it was, it was ignorant.
The second thing that happened was, I made one of the worst analogies of all time, and I knew it when I said it, and I just kept going, 'cause I'm like, you can hear it if you listen to the tape, or you know, if you go back and listen to Tuesday's show, you can hear, what I'm starting to talk--here I am talking about Judaism, and I start comparing Islamic extremism, and it was just, it was, it was a nightmare. And I knew it as I, I mean I started in on it, and I don't know if you noticed this Stu, but halfway through, I was like, and, well, no wait, this is not exactly, because I just knew --
STU: [laughs] yeah..
BECK: -- what a stupid--
STU: Yeah, and you did clarify it immediately, that it had nothing to do with, you know, but, you know--
BECK: Well, whatever, whatever.
STU: Attempted, at least--
BECK: Yeah. I mean, it's just, you get into--here's the thing. I'm on the air for four hours, every single day. Four hours every day, live, without a script. That is a recipe for disaster. That is, that is, trouble, because you and I have a--you know it's like Stu said yesterday: he was really, very concerned at the end of the show. You keep, I know you Glenn, you say you don't care anymore, well we do, we need a job! And you and I, as the host and listener, you and I, have this problem. I'm sorry, I don't know what is wrong with my microphone today.
PAT: Do you want to switch to mine? You want to switch?
BECK: Wow, yours sounds good.
STU: That's really nice, Pat.
BECK: That's nice of you Pat.
PAT: I'm not sure if it's the mic or just the incredible--
STU: Sultry tones?
PAT: Yeah.
STU: Of Patrick.
PAT: Dulcit tones of my voice.
BECK: No, our mics won't reach each other, so--
PAT: Oh, okay.
BECK: So, I try to keep him at more than an arm's length. What were we talking about here?
PAT: How you're on the air for four hours.
BECK: Oh yeah, how we're on the air for--see, this is a good, good example. We just have a different relationship, you know, you and I, as the host and the listener, we have a relationship where I'm like, hang on, my mic sounds weird, hang on, let me switch it. I mean, this is a very unprofessional show at times, and part of that is because we've been together for so long, and you know, you know me, and I feel as though I know you, and so when you have that kind of relationship, you are just talking like you talk in your cubicle.
Well, that brings me back to the original point. I've told you to guard your credibility. There's no way you're never gonna be wrong, there's no way you're never gonna say something stupid. But the people around your cubicle, and you happen to be around my cubicle, have to know that when you make a mistake, for honor's sake, you correct it, and you don't hide from it, and you go, "Man, was I stupid, and I was ignorant, and I apologize."
Abe Foxman brought this to my attention, and Abe Foxman is not, I mean he didn't directly. I don't agree with Abe Foxman on, really, I don't think, anything. Well, I think, we, years ago, I think we had dinner together and I, we may have agreed on what we--he may have had a steak, and I may have had a steak, but on this one he's right. And to Abe and everybody else: If I offended you, it was not my intent, I see how I did that, and I apologize for the action and the words. 'Nuff said. All right. Now, now let's see who we're going to offend, but do it with credibility. I mean-- |

Getting Down To Basics with Products
Electronic cigarettes are one of the best and most suggested alternatives to smoking tobacco cigarettes or cigars. E-cigarettes or vaporizers work by heating and creating a vapor from a solution that usually has nicotine; a thick, colorless liquid known as propylene glycol and/or glycerine; and some flavorings. Since there is no burning entailed, it does not produce smoke. If you are yearning for the addictive taste of a tobacco cigarette but would like to try something different or less dangerous for your health, an e-cigarette might be a good option. Here are some of top considerations that you should know about vaporizers.
Numerous E-Liquid Flavors
E-liquids or e-juices are available in bottles that are employed to fill e-cigarettes. There are so many flavors available to choose from. Some examples are cola, strawberry, mint, various tobacco types, and even chocolate e-liquids. No matter which flavor you prefer, there is something out there for you. The choice of flavor tends to be greatly dependent on the predisposition of the user, however there are other considerations to remember when you are picking the right e-juice for you. Keep in mind that retailers do not accept returns on that basis of you not liking a certain flavor. If you are just a beginner at vaping, it is wise to pick the flavors that are sold in smaller bottles first in case you realize you do not like them.
Vaporizers in Aromatherapy
Vaporization has been a way of filling the air we breathe with aromatic and health-giving attributes for a long time now, maybe even centuries. A few people may install a vaporizer in their children’s bedrooms to create a menthol and eucalyptus vapor if the child is ill with a cold and stuffy nose. Vaporizers that employ herbs and/or essential oils are also able to create aromatherapy scents and qualities. The only thing you need to do is to check if the item is aimed at producing vapor and not smoke, it can be utilized for this purpose.
Can be Controlled with a Smartphone App
Because of the expanding need for mobility, and accelerating popularity of smartphones and tablets, the necessity of device and home management apps for Android and iOS devices has also expanded. Unlike a traditional cigarette, a vaporizer can be accessed directly by connecting to the internet, using mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones. Furthermore, the main function will be accessible and will regulate the vaporizer automatically even when the user is not around, as long as he controls it with the help of an app on his smartphone. |
Q:
LightSwitch - Query based on a SelectedItem from another table
I have two tables, Customer and Address. One customer can have one or more addresses.
My view is a ListDetail with all my customers on the left as a list and the edition on the right.
Under the edition I have the "address area" with a list of addresses and an edition on the selected.
My problem is all my addresses are listed. I just want addresses with the matching customerId (selected on the first list).
Here is a drawing to help you see what I am talking about:
I can create a button on the first list that show a popup with the selected Id but I don't know how to put a parameter on my address collection.
Please tell me if you need more details.
Edit : A good example of what I want is the 'Roles' view created by default. I haven't found how to edit this view to see how it works but if you select a 'role' the list of users is updated to show only those that have this role.
A:
If your two tables are related (meaning you've created a relationship between them in the table designer), then what you describe should happen automatically. Using the Add Screen wizard, you can tick the "related data" checkboxes for any related tables that you want to display for the selected item.
If you didn't tick the checkbox for a table, you can still drag the navigation property (created when you added the relationship), which is on the left side of the screen designer (with a + next to it).
To do it manually, you need to create a modeled query (a query based on a table, or on another query), to which you add an integer parameter, then add a filter based on that parameter.

The other day, I wrote a pretty serious and in-depth post on the place of the darker things of this world in art, especially profanities. in the middle of the post, I put two rather intense videos as demonstrations of my point. They were both videos from films depicting serious husband/wife fighting. One was from Kirk Cameron’s “Christian” movie Fireproof, and the other was from the film Revolutionary Road, in which Leonardo diCaprio plays the husband. Adding to the irony, both of these movies came out in the same year.
It wasn’t until later that I was reminded by a friend that these two actually worked together early in their careers, on the TV Show Growing Pains. If you want some weird contrasts that can’t help but make you laugh pretty hard, feel free to re-watch the two clips below, as well as this clip of the two of these guys doing a scene from Growing Pains. In hindsight, it’s pretty hilarious. |

A fuel cell system generates electricity by converting chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy.
The fuel cell system generally includes a fuel cell stack generating electrical energy, a fuel supply system supplying a fuel or hydrogen gas to the fuel cell stack, an air supply system supplying oxygen gas in air as an oxidizing agent of electrochemical reaction to the fuel cell stack, and devices for managing heat and water radiating heat generated from the reaction in the fuel cell stack to an exterior of the fuel cell system and controlling an operating temperature of the fuel cell stack.
In other words, the fuel cell system generates electricity by electrochemical reaction of the hydrogen gas as fuel and the oxygen gas in the air and also produces heat and water as by-products of the reaction.
The fuel cell stack which may be applied to a fuel cell vehicle includes a plurality of unit batteries arranged in sequential order. Each unit battery includes a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) disposed at the innermost part thereof, and the membrane-electrode assembly includes an electrolyte membrane for transferring hydrogen ions and catalytic layer at each cathode and anode respectively attached at each side of the electrolyte membrane so as to react the hydrogen with the oxygen.
In addition, a gas diffusion layer (GDL) is positioned at an exterior portion of the membrane-electrode assembly (MEA), or the exterior portions where the cathode and the anode are positioned, and a separator including a flow field for supplying the fuel and the air each respectively to the cathode and the anode and exhausting water generated by the reaction is positioned at an exterior of the gas diffusion layer.
The hydrogen and the oxygen are ionized by a catalyst at each catalytic layer of the electrode, such that the hydrogen undergoes oxidation reaction so as to generate a hydrogen ion and an electron, and the oxygen ion at the cathode undergoes a reduction reaction with the hydrogen ion transferred from the anode so as to generate the water.
Since the hydrogen is supplied to the anode or alternatively “oxidation electrode” and the oxygen or air is supplied to the cathode, or alternatively “reduction electrode”, the hydrogen supplied to the anode is ionized into the hydrogen ion (H+) or proton and the electron (e−) by the catalyst of the electrode layer. Subsequently, the hydrogen ion selectively passes through the electrolyte membrane which may be a cation-exchange membrane and may be transferred to the cathode. Simultaneously, the electron (e) is transferred to the cathode through conductors such as the gas diffusion layer and the separator.
Therefore, the hydrogen ion supplied to the cathode through the electrolyte membrane and the electron supplied to the cathode by the separator react with the oxygen in the air supplied to the cathode by an air supply so as to generate the water.
At this time, current is also generated by flow of the electrons through an external electric circuit or conducting wire driven by transferring of the hydrogen ion to the cathode. When the water is generated by the reaction, heat is also generated as reaction product.
In the related arts, the membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) is manufactured by attaching the catalyst on both surfaces of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM). Decal method or catalyst spraying method has been typically used to attach the catalyst on the both surface of the electrolyte membrane.
For example, in the Decal method, the catalyst is attached on the electrolyte membrane through thermo compression bonding after attaching the catalyst to a resin film. Since the membrane-electrode assembly manufactured through the Decal method has a thin catalyst layer, area between the catalyst and reacting gas may increase but manufacturing process may be complicated thereby increasing manufacturing cost and time.
In other examples, an ink containing the catalyst may be sprayed according to the catalyst spraying method. However, a homogeneous catalyst layer having uniform thickness and density may not be obtained. In addition, since the ink may be applied several times by spraying, manufacturing time may increase.
The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art. |

While Star Ocean: Second Evolution's soundtrack is not the massive overhaul and improvement that First Departure was, it is still a decent collection in its own right. The set may not be worthwhile to those own the original soundtrack from the PlayStation version.
The new opening song "START" by the schoolgirl J-rock band SCANDAL is enjoyable though hardly an album seller. It grew on me over time, and the full version feels very fitting at the end with its nice blend of dynamics and styles ranging from loud rock to quiet orchestral moments.
Like Sakuraba's other Star Ocean works, Second Evolution's soundtrack is extremely varied. Several genres are well represented, though Sakuraba's best work is found in the electronic and prelude styles. With regard to the former, Second Evolution has some excellent boss music. "Mighty Blow," the theme for the battle with Iselia Queen, is deliciously chaotic, while the Wiseman theme "Shiver" is percussive and intimidating. The standard boss battle song "Dynamite" is also worthy of praise for its wicked melody.
While the standard battle and overworld themes are underwhelming, a few of the dungeon and village themes stand out. "Discord" uses a simple, repetitive descending figure with chords that suit the title. "Mission to the Deep Space" is fabulous as ever. I also loved "Moderate," for its richly evocative structure and instrumentation, and the two town tracks "Shower of Blossoms," and "Walk Over" have pleasant and unique chord structures.
Rena's theme is also glorious. Here, Sakuraba really squeezes all of the emotion he can out of just three notes at the song's theme halfway into it. With its sinking minor five chords, just slow enough tempo, and sad yet proud melody, this song really suits Rena's story, heavy with irony and tragedy as it is. It's so good that Sakuraba reworked it into numerous interlude and cutscene songs, such as "Lose One's Illusions," "Music Box," and "A Quirk of Fate." All of them put a slightly different spin on a fantastic piece of music, thus the song never gets old or annoying.
It's a fine soundtrack overall. It's biggest weakness is its lack of difference from the original game. There is very little that is new here, so the real winners would be those who never enjoyed the Playstation version of the game; they will get to enjoy all of Sakuraba's wonderful musical ideas for the first time. |

A McDonald's worker in Hamilton says she was left angry and upset when told she couldn't speak Māori at her workplace.
Photo: 123rf.com
Janine Eru Taueki says her shift manager at McDonald's Te Rapa told her to stop using te reo after receiving complaints from customers and staff.
Ms Eru Taueki says she couldn't believe she was being told not to use her own language.
Photo: Supplied
"I got angry I've never been told not to speak Māori - that's my first language.
"I attended a kura that te reo Māori was the only language that was spoken - to be told not to speak Māori just hurt. I got so angry."
Ms Eru Taueki said she normally used te reo Māori words when working on the drive-through.
"I'll always be like 'tēnā koe - place your order when you're ready'."
Leading up to Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, she increased her use of the language.
"I was saying 'was that coke for your inu (drink)', it's not as if I was speaking Māori fully throughout the whole duration of taking the customer's order - I was translating for them so they would understand."
McDonald's New Zealand spokesperson Simon Kenny said there was a misunderstanding about who complained about the use of reo by Ms Eru Taueki.
"She'd been speaking with another crew person in te reo, a different staff member complained to the management around the policy of only speaking English."
Mr Kenny said McDonald's New Zealand was now reviewing its policy of staff only speaking English while working.
"We think the policy should actually reflect the official languages of New Zealand so we'll be updating our policy so that it means English, Māori or sign language can be used while staff are working."
Mr Kenny said the fast food chain was keen to resolve the situation.
"(We) don't want to hear she's been saddened by the experience.
"That's why we want to meet up with her and talk through things and hopefully she can see the changes that have come as a result are positive." |
We're going to bring in another voice now into the conversation, top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, California Congressman Adam Schiff. Congressman, thanks so much for being with us.
ADAM SCHIFF: Good to be with you.
MARTIN: You happen to have been a federal prosecutor in another chapter of your life. So with that kind of informed perspective, what could this first round of charges tell us about the way that the Special Counsel's investigation is proceeding?
SCHIFF: Well, if it is a minor character, a smaller fish, I think it indicates that the Special Counsel feels that he has the time to develop the investigation in an orderly way and seek the cooperation of smaller players to find out more about some of the larger players. If, on the other hand, it is a Manafort or Michael Flynn, these are no small fish. This is the campaign chairman for the Trump campaign and the national security adviser of the country at one point, and it may mean that he's moving more quickly, maybe because there are efforts to shut down congressional investigations and then an effort to put pressure on Bob Mueller to wrap up his probe. And he's going to need time. If the indictment, for example, were of Paul Manafort, it could be a year before that goes to trial. It could be a year before he seeks or obtains the cooperation of Mr. Manafort in exchange for a lesser plea to lesser charges. So it will tell us a little bit about how he sees the investigation, how much progress he has made in the relatively short time he's been working at this.
MARTIN: So you're saying that even if it's a minor player, which it may be because the scope of this is quite broad, right? Like, it started out about possible links between the Trump campaign and Russia, but the investigation and Mueller has made it clear that their mandate extends beyond that. If it's a minor player who has nothing to do with Russia, what do you make of that?
SCHIFF: Well, I don't think it'll be a minor player that has nothing to do with Russia. If you look at Paul Manafort, for example, let's say it's either Manafort or someone related to Manafort, someone who worked with Manafort, that's not unrelated to Russia. The Washington Post, for example, revealed emails for Mr. Manafort running to Oleg Deripaska, who is a oligarch close to the Kremlin, offering information about the Trump campaign, the campaign he was managing, in an effort to obtain money that he believed he was owed for work he did in the Ukraine. Now, you might say that's unrelated, but the work he did in Ukraine was on behalf of a pro-Russia party. So he's working in Ukraine, doing work essentially aligned with the Kremlin, believes that he didn't get fully paid, if you believe these reports from The Washington Post, and is offering information on the campaign. Now, that's pretty closely related because at the very same time, the Kremlin, through its intermediaries is reaching out to Manafort, Kushner and the president's son offering information on Hillary Clinton.
MARTIN: We just have seconds remaining. How does this affect your investigation? The chairman of your committee says he wants to wrap this thing up. Do you think there should be a hard line for when your committee says we're done?
SCHIFF: No. Absolutely not. We need to finish the investigation and take the time it needs. It's only related in this way, and that is, the president has been pushing investigations of Hillary Clinton to distract from what Bob Mueller's doing and distract us from our job of figuring out Russia's intervention in our election. So that's the connection.
MARTIN: Congressman Adam Schiff, congressman from California, thanks so much for your time this morning. |

Role of abstinence and visual cues on food and smoking craving.
This study was designed to examine the relationship between cravings for food and cravings for cigarettes by presenting smoking-related or food-related visual cues to smokers who were either smoking-deprived or food-deprived. Fifteen regular cigarette smokers participated in this four-session, within-subject study in which they rated their craving for cigarettes and craving for food under four conditions: after abstaining from smoking, after abstaining from eating, after abstaining from both smoking and eating, or after no abstinence. We found that before presentation of the cues, overnight smoking abstinence increased craving for cigarettes, and overnight food abstinence increased craving for food. In each condition, presentation of cues further increased craving for the object of deprivation: smoking cues further increased craving for cigarettes after smoking abstinence, and food cues further increased craving for food after abstaining from food. Smoking abstinence did not affect craving for food, but food abstinence modestly increased smoking craving. These results indicate that craving for cigarettes or food is specifically increased by both deprivation from the substance and by presentation of substance-related cues. |
White Bedroom Drawers – Bedroom Makeover Ideas On A Budget
Because selecting white bedroom drawers with storage underneath is important, this white bedroom drawers
“Use Storage beneath the Bed” can set you back a little money. But as each sleep revealed in furniture store can’t be acceptable completely to the design of one’s white bedroom drawers
, which possibly cause space lost or dust-trap sides, you’d greater have a customized one. The sole position worthy of consideration is to fix bed position and be sure you will not transfer it into anywhere. We applied to produce one for the child, for parts of his rooms bought out by incline. There is no decision but tailored bed needed. So we created one for him, with compartments and cabinets underneath, filled outfits and socks to the full.
If you’re enthusiastic about the some ideas stated earlier, perhaps you may parlay it into a sense of white bedroom drawers tidy, then you definitely will soon be happily surprised by how practical it’s in room storage and space-saving. Be flexible based on your true layout and place! Or show your favorite storage ideas to people if costless. |

Definition of poorly differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid: the Japanese experience.
The terminology and definitions pertaining to thyroid malignancies of follicular cell origin that are neither well-differentiated papillary or follicular carcinomas nor undifferentiated anaplastic carcinomas remain controversial. Against this background, we previously proposed that "poorly differentiated carcinoma" should be added to the classification of thyroid carcinoma arising from follicular epithelium. The histological criteria and biological characteristics of poorly differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid were described. In this discussion, we make a new proposal concerning the histological classification of thyroid cancers derived from follicular epithelium. According to this proposal, thyroid cancers can be divided into common types and special types. In the common types, the usual histology should be included. The common types are well-differentiated carcinoma, poorly differentiated carcinoma, and undifferentiated carcinoma. The specific types include columnar-cell carcinoma, tall cell carcinoma, cribriform carcinoma, and other rare carcinomas. |

English translation of German description:The Rohde & Schwarz Digital Video Component Analyzer VCA is designed to solve measurement problems in the digital studio, in operation and servicing as well as in the development of digital studio equipment. Combining the characteristics of a waveform monitor and an analyzer and including all conventional display modes, the VCA is suitable for a great variety of measurements and so makes working with digital video signals easy. An optional remote control unit permits the VCA to be readily integrated into large measuring systems for comprehensive monitoring in the studio.
Equipped with a digital-parallel and a digital-serial video input as well as SCOPE and MEASURE functions, VCA is capable of monitoring the digital video signal at all the transfer points of a digital TV studio. Measurement results are clearly displayed on a large-size monitor. Compared to the purely visual information obtained from an oscilloscope, VCA reads out precise measurement values. A graphic display facilitates evaluation of the results.
SCOPE functions:
These functions allow waveforms and numerical values of the digital video signal to be analyzed.
MEASURE functions:
These functions are used for monitoring and measuring live signals and for measuring special test signals. In the SCOPE mode, too, two monitoring functions are active in the background for checking the sync frame. The results of measurements on live signals are shown on the ERROR RATE display or on a new type of HISTORY display. |

Last month my second book was released: 'Killer Games' Versus 'We Will Fund Violence' The Perception of Digital Games and Mass Media in Germany and Australia". Where my first book was my German Master's thesis (and was about gaming behind the Iron Curtain), this one is my Ph.D.
So what is it all about?
While the assessment of digital games in Germany was framed by a high-culture critique, which regarded them as an 'illegitimate' activity, in Australia they were enjoyed by a comparatively wide demographic as a 'legitimate' pastime.
In the thesis I analysed the social history of digital gaming in both countries and related it to their socio-cultural traditions and their effects on modes of distinction. Basically, you can tell why Germany has issues with this type of media by looking into why Australia does not.
Germany, as a European Kulturnation, had a different history and different 'foundational dynamics' than Australia, a New-World society built on premises which consciously distanced themselves from their Old-World heritage.
Foundational dynamics signify the socio-cultural and historical forces which shaped a distinct national conscience and dominant identity constructions during the countries' founding phase. These constructions did not stay without an impact on the perception of different kinds of aesthetics.
Closely related to the uptake of culture was the issue of distinction, the cultural demarcation between social groups: By a conspicuous refusal of other tastes, a class tries to depict its own lifestyle as something superior. A country like Germany, whose national self-conception was closely related to groups which perpetuated an idealistic notion of Kultur and later integrated it into a rigid class system, exhibited a different form of distinction than Australia.
To put it differently: A country which based its national archetype on the myth of the bushman developed a different national conscience than a country whose ruling class defines itself very much in terms of high-cultural achievements.
The thesis demonstrates how forms of distinction, shaped by different foundational dynamics, asserted themselves regarding the perception of mass culture to the point where digital games were the latest medium to be surrounded by established patterns of criticism and enthusiasm. To make this point clear it gives a detailed history of previous introductions of mass culture and with which reactions they were met on part of Germany and Australia and their modes of distinction.
Due to its history and cultural traditions, Germany strongly opposed mass media – as can be seen in the uptake of the cinema, radio and television – whereas Australians were always comparatively enthusiastic about the latest iteration of mass art, games included. It was something that confirmed Australian identity whereas it threatened Germany's.
The thesis is the first social history of gaming in both countries.
On the other hand it also offer unique insights into the national unconscious of the two countries by means of analysing the uptake of mass media.
So if you're interested in digital games, media history, the social history of Germany and Australia, demographics and target groups in these countries or their capacity to produce internationally appealing media content, this book is for you.

Q:
Passing an XmlElement to a background job in powershell
I've read that objects are serialized when you pass them into a script block called with start-job. This seems to work fine for strings and things, but I'm trying to pass an xml.XmlElement object in. I'm sure that the object is an XMLElement before I invoke the script block, but in the job, I get this error:
Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'node'. Cannot convert the "[xml.XmlElement]System.Xml.XmlElement"
value of type "System.String" to type "System.Xml.XmlElement".
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [], ParameterBindin...mationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError
+ PSComputerName : localhost
So, how do I get my XmlElement back. Any ideas?
For what it's worth, this is my code:
$job = start-job -Name $node.LocalName -InitializationScript $DEFS -ScriptBlock {
param (
[xml.XmlElement]$node,
[string]$folder,
[string]$server,
[string]$user,
[string]$pass
)
sleep -s $node.startTime
run-action $node $folder $server $user $pass
} -ArgumentList $node, $folder, $server, $user, $pass
A:
Apparently you can't pass XML nodes into script blocks because you can't serialize them. According to this answer you need to wrap the node into a new XML document object and pass that into the script block. Thus something like this might work:
$wrapper = New-Object System.Xml.XmlDocument
$wrapper.AppendChild($wrapper.ImportNode($node, $true)) | Out-Null
$job = Start-Job -Name $node.LocalName -InitializationScript $DEFS -ScriptBlock {
param (
[xml]$xml,
[string]$folder,
[string]$server,
[string]$user,
[string]$pass
)
$node = $xml.SelectSingleNode('/*')
sleep -s $node.startTime
run-action $node $folder $server $user $pass
} -ArgumentList $wrapper, $folder, $server, $user, $pass

Babesia bigemina: host factors affecting the invasion of erythrocytes.
Babesia bigemina merozoites enter their host's erythrocytes by an unknown mechanism that likely involves parasite surface components. Identification of the parasite ligands involved in invasion is hampered by a lack of basic information about the invasion characteristics of Babesia bigemina. Therefore, restrictions on the species of red blood cells (RBC) that are susceptible to invasion were examined as well as the roles of erythrocyte ligands. An invasion assay and a proliferation assay were developed for this study. Unlike some other species of Babesia that infect cattle, B. bigemina failed to enter RBC from most animals that are not natural hosts, suggesting that a species restricted receptor mechanism mediates invasion. Two carbohydrates which are prominent on the surface of bovine erythrocytes, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine, when added to cultures, reduced the ability of B. bigemina merozoites to invade erythrocytes. Neuraminidase or trypsin treatment of bovine erythrocytes significantly decreased their susceptibility to invasion whereas chymotrypsin had little effect. These data imply that proteinaceous erythrocyte ligands and carbohydrate residues may be involved in the invasion process. Identification of a species-specific pattern of invasion and RBC treatments that render cells refractory to invasion may provide the basis for the characterization of B. bigemina erythrocyte binding molecules based on their differential binding to invasion competent and refractory cells. |

Richard Spencer wins in court, coming to speak in Auburn
AUBURN, ALA. (EETV) - Richard Spencer just won a court case in Montgomery and will be speaking tonight in Auburn.
Spencer called the emergency hearing a "total victory" and said he has the cooperation of the Auburn police and of Auburn University as ordered by the judge on the case.
Spencer claims in the video on his Twitter page that the judge has ordered the university to host the event as planned.
A letter from the Provost and Chief Diversity Officer reads,
Dear Auburn Family,
Over the past week, Auburn University has faced attempts by uninvited, unaffiliated, off-campus groups and individuals to provoke conflict that is disruptive to our campus environment. Whether it's offensive rhetoric, offensive flyers around campus, or inappropriate remarks on social media, we will not allow the efforts of individuals or groups to undermine Auburn's core values of inclusion and diversity and challenge the ideals personified by the Auburn Creed.
Auburn University supports the rights and privileges afforded by the First Amendment. However, when the tenets of free speech are overshadowed by threats to the safety of our students, faculty, and staff, we have a responsibility to protect our campus and the men and women who unite our academic community. The decision to cancel the Richard Spencer event last week was informed by leadership from all of the university's shared governance groups and the Auburn Police Division, all of whom articulated legitimate concerns for the safety and security of our campus.
This afternoon, a federal judge ruled that Auburn must allow Spencer to speak in the Foy Auditorium tonight. It is now more important than ever that we respond in a way that is peaceful, respectful, and maintains civil discourse. We are aware that various campus groups have planned events for this evening. Please know that additional security measures are being taken by the Auburn Police Division to uphold the safety of our community.
The Provost's Office will support requests from faculty and students to miss classes this evening.
Respectfully,
Timothy R. Boosinger,Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs

A new measure of the robustness of biochemical networks.
The robustness of a biochemical network is defined as the tolerance of variations in kinetic parameters with respect to the maintenance of steady state. Robustness also plays an important role in the fail-safe mechanism in the evolutionary process of biochemical networks. The purposes of this paper are to use the synergism and saturation system (S-system) representation to describe a biochemical network and to develop a robustness measure of a biochemical network subject to variations in kinetic parameters. Since most biochemical networks in nature operate close to the steady state, we consider only the robustness measurement of a biochemical network at the steady state. We show that the upper bound of the tolerated parameter variations is related to the system matrix of a biochemical network at the steady state. Using this upper bound, we can calculate the tolerance (robustness) of a biochemical network without testing many parametric perturbations. We find that a biochemical network with a large tolerance can also better attenuate the effects of variations in rate parameters and environments. Compensatory parameter variations and network redundancy are found to be important mechanisms for the robustness of biochemical networks. Finally, four biochemical networks, such as a cascaded biochemical network, the glycolytic-glycogenolytic pathway in a perfused rat liver, the tricarboxylic acid cycle in Dictyostelium discoideum and the cAMP oscillation network in bacterial chemotaxis, are used to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed robustness measure. |

Q:
PersistenceManager and Open Session In View
my java skills are a bit rusty and I'm wondering how I can implement Open Session In View pattern for the PersistenceManager called from a servlet in a google app engine environment.
I have some singleton which handles the PersistenceManagerFactory, but how can I get a "new" PersistenceManager at each servlet call ?
I want my business class to access some repository that will use the same PersistenceManager, and that all the time (within one servlet request).
For now, I can't figure out how to initialize a new PersistenceManager when the first call to the singleton is made, for each servlet request...
Thanks in advance for any help.
A:
Don't. Pass the PersistenceManager to your class as part of the context, instead. Relying on statics or globals is usually a bad idea, especially in a multithreaded environment like a Java servlet.

Funniest Tweets About The "State Of The Uniom" Typo Prove The Internet Is Always Ready To Crack A Joke
There are few things that the voices of Twitter love more than a good typo. Most recently, there was a typo on some of the tickets distributed for President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address to Congress taking place on Tuesday. The tickets welcomed visitors to the "State of the Uniom" and an onslaught of hilarious tweets ensued quickly afterwards. The phrase is even trending on Twitter. Did the world just find its new covfefe?
The tickets in question were issued by the Office of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper and are given to the spouses and guests of members of Congress, granting them access to seats in the gallery for the address, according to CNN. The misprinted tickets have since been reprinted and redistributed, but not before some photos were taken of the gaffe and used to make a ton of jokes on Twitter.
Quips came from Democratic lawmakers and members of the public alike and many pointed out that this wasn't the first typo during the Trump presidency. Some of the jokes addressed the current state of our educational system.
Some Blamed The State Of Education In The U.S.
The education jokes are a bit painful, but I can't say they're wrong. Some blamed Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for the failure, while others jumped at the opportunity to criticize Common Core. Ouch. Fortunately, the hilarity didn't stop there.
No One Forgot About "Covfefe"
A favorite from this presidency, the original Trump typo "covfefe" made its way back to my timeline. In case you've somehow managed to forget, Trump first confused the world by writing "covfefe" in a late-night tweet about the media back in May. The covfefe references died down for a while, but the "State of the Uniom" blunder has made it relevant yet again.
Wait... Was Russia Behind It All?
Another popular theme of these jokes was Trump's rumored relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin. The ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election, as well as any potential collusion between the two parties, is a sore subject for his supporters, but a favorite bruise to poke for his critics.

Somehow, the lovably speech impeded officiant of Buttercup and Prince Humperdinck's wedding made his way into the jokes as well. Admittedly, I would much rather listen through his State of the Union speech than Trump's.
Some Think This Typo Kind Of Sums Of This Presidency
Of course, a lot of the jokes and flat-out criticisms were just jabs at Trump himself and his presidency thus far. While the misprint wasn't actually Trump's personal mistake — they are printed by the Office of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper, according to CNN — that didn't stop critics from poking fun at Trump and his officials.
Aside from cracking a few jokes, some users on Twitter used the trending hashtag as an opportunity to share the growing movement to boycott the address, as ABC News reported. Numerous Democrats, including Reps. Maxine Waters from California, Frederica Wilson from Florida, and Pramila Jayapal from Washington, are reportedly boycotting the State of the Union following offensive remarks made by the president, according to ABC News. It appears that members of the public are also planning to turn their TVs elsewhere.
All of these State of the Uniom ticket jokes are likely just the first of many aspects of Trump's address to come under scrutiny. Considering the numerous hot button issues that have come up during Trump's first year in office, he will have plenty to talk about. Until then, these State of the Uniom tweets are a nice distraction. |
True Density Prediction of Garlic Slices Dehydrated by Convection.
Physiochemical parameters with constant values are employed for the mass-heat transfer modeling of the air drying process. However, structural properties are not constant under drying conditions. Empirical, semi-theoretical, and theoretical models have been proposed to describe true density (ρp). These models only consider the ideal behavior and assume a linear relationship between ρp and moisture content (X); nevertheless, some materials exhibit a nonlinear behavior of ρp as a function of X with a tendency toward being concave-down. This comportment, which can be observed in garlic and carrots, has been difficult to model mathematically. This work proposes a semi-theoretical model for predicting ρp values, taking into account the concave-down comportment that occurs at the end of the drying process. The model includes the ρs dependency on external conditions (air drying temperature (Ta)), the inside temperature of the garlic slices (Ti ), and the moisture content (X) obtained from experimental data on the drying process. Calculations show that the dry solid density (ρs ) is not a linear function of Ta, X, and Ti . An empirical correlation for ρs is proposed as a function of Ti and X. The adjustment equation for Ti is proposed as a function of Ta and X. The proposed model for ρp was validated using experimental data on the sliced garlic and was compared with theoretical and empirical models that are available in the scientific literature. Deviation between the experimental and predicted data was determined. An explanation of the nonlinear behavior of ρs and ρp in the function of X, taking into account second-order phase changes, are then presented. |

An alternative frame of reference for rehabilitation: the helping process versus the medical model.
In rehabilitation the frame of reference of the helping professions is significantly different from the standard medical model in the following areas: the dynamics of the relationship, basis for client's trust of the professional, activity versus passivity of both the client and the professional, and the approach to identification and solution of client problems. "The helping process" as practiced in the helping professions is not doing the task, but assisting the client to do it himself, for himself. In this process the needs, values and feelings of both the helper and the helpee must be recognized and dealt with. For the helping process to be successful, three basic conditions are required: development of mutual trust, joint exploration of the problem(s) and listening by both sides. Also involved in attaining success in the helping process is an awareness of not only the barriers in receiving help but also the difficulties in giving help. |

Quantitative proteome and lysine succinylome analyses provide insights into metabolic regulation in breast cancer.
Breast cancer, the most common invasive cancer and cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide, is a multifactorial, complex disease, and many molecular players and mechanisms underlying the complexity of its clinical behavior remain unknown. To explore the molecular features of breast cancer, quantitative proteome and succinylome analyses in breast cancer were extensively studied using quantitative proteomics techniques, anti-succinyl lysine antibody-based affinity enrichment, and high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis. Our study is the first to detect the regulation of lysine succinylation in breast cancer progression. We identified a novel mechanism by which the pentose phosphate pathway and the endoplasmic reticulum protein processing pathway might be regulated via lysine succinylation in their core enzymes. These results expand our understanding of tumorigenesis mechanisms and provide a basis for further characterization of the pathophysiological roles in breast cancer progression, laying a foundation for innovative and novel breast cancer drugs and therapies. |
Q:
For loop in HTML file, {% for x in xxx %}. Native or framework?
I was looking at some HTML code and I encountered this syntax that I had not seen before:
{% for x in xxx %} \n
<li>{{x.something|e}}</li> \n
{% endfor %}
I was wondering if this was native HTML, or if it was some special framework. For the record, I saw it in a Jekyll template for github pages but when I tried searching it up, I couldn't find much clarification.
A:
That is Liquid, the templating language that Jekyll uses to process templates.
The code you posted is a for loop:
Liquid allows for loops over collections:
{% for item in array %}
{{ item }}
{% endfor %}
You can check the project doc: Liquid for Designers and how Jekyll uses it.

The cap structure and the poly(A) tail on messenger RNA (mRNA) work together to stimulate translation initiation in yeast through their interaction with the translation initiation factor eIF4G. The cap binding protein eIF4E and the poly(A) tail binding protein Pab1p mediate the interaction of eIF4G with each of these mRNA structures. The RNA- activated ATPase eIF4A also interacts with eIF4G. This proposal outlines experiments whose goals are to understand how each of these proteins as well as RNA interacts with yeast eIF4G1 and with each other. Another goal is to understand whether eIF4A enzymatic activity or the association of the ribosome bound initiation factor eIF3 with eIF4G1 is stimulated when mRNA is circularized through the interaction of eIF4E and Pab1p with eIF4G1. A final goal of these experiments is to identify and then characterize other yeast proteins which either activate or repress the function of eIF4G1 and its associated proteins. Our results should help to elucidate the mechanisms by which translation initiation is stimulated and regulated in eucaryotes. This information will be invaluable in understanding alterations to the translational apparatus resulting from some types of cellular transformations or viral infections, and in developing assays and then compounds which will provide therapeutic options to correcting these alterations. |
Smriti Irani refuses to play a nautch girl on TV show
Actor turns down role in Ekta Kapoor’s promotional series since she is reluctant to portray a courtesan.
Smriti Irani has always been cautious about everything she does. Being a public figure, she’s doubly careful of what she does on television. So when Ekta Kapoor asked her to play a nautch girl (courtesan) in an episode of her TV series Ek Thi Nayika, Smriti asked for a change and Ekta obliged. Now, Sakshi Tanwar will play the character, while Smriti will feature in another story in the same show.
Explaining further, a source says, “A few months ago due to a politician’s comments on Smriti’s acting career, she was involved in a controversy that got blown out of proportion. It seems to have impacted the way she does television now. Smriti’s agreed to do a two-episode story in Ek Thi Nayika for Ekta. But when she learnt that the story chosen for her was about a nautch girl who meets a daayan (witch), she requested Ekta to give her some other story that didn’t involve singing or dancing, to which Ekta agreed.
Moreover, as Smriti is also a politician, she didn’t want to propagate superstition, which is why the story she will be part of is the only one not to feature a daayan.”
Tanuj Garg, CEO Balaji Telefilms, says, “Yes, it’s true. Smriti wasn’t comfortable playing a nautch girl in the series. So now the story will be shot with Sakshi Tanwar.”
The TV series is a prelude to Ekta Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj’s co-production Ek Thi Daayan. It is the biggest marketing innovation to promote a movie via a TV series. Eight female actors will be seen in the show for two episodes each, and it will air on Life OK starting mid-March. |

How can I open website in my android application?
I have responsive webpage. I want to have an android application, that open this webpage. So after i clicked on icon of application, it shows me menu and when i click on some button it shows me website inside this application. It is possible? If yes, how?
I tied only something like that:
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);
But it is not good for me... because it is only link to open it via browser...
So finally I need something like mobile browser.
I dont know if it is possible for me. Maybe you give me some more advices.
A:
In your xml file add this code:
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
and In your activity:
private WebView webView;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");

Q:
How to delete gradient marks on Adobe Flash?
I am wondering how to delete gradient markers on Flash. For example, when I am working on a gradient in the color window, and hover my mouse over a marker, a plus sign appears, and if you click it, another marker surfaces. When I open a new file and use the gradient tool, it saved all of the markers I created.
How do I delete the markers at my discretion?
A:
Mouse over the handle for a gradient marker, and drag it as you would if you were adjusting its location. Then simply drag it out of the color panel and release the mouse button. That's all there is to it!

THQ: Apple & Google Part Of Next Gen With Sony & Nintendo
We have to admit we were still harboring a sliver of hope that this whole Angry Birds dollar-game craze would blow over and the market could at one point get down to making some serious, thoughtful and fleshed out mobile gaming experiences. And while these are slowly trickling out, they are still very much the exception instead of the norm. THQ boss Brian Farrell filled us in on the reason and lets us in on his vision of gaming’s next gen.
“What the market is telling us, is consumers want a very quickly consumable mobile experience; it doesn’t necessarily have to be deep”, he said at the San Francisco GamesBeat conference. Which is why “we believe Apple is going to be there, Google is going to be there,” he went on. “Our view is that the next generation of consoles, if there are consoles, are going to be less about technology and more about service orientation of the gamer.” All of it par for the course, but no less depressing nonetheless. |
Strong Recommendations Are Inappropriate in Person-Centred Care: The Case of Anti-Platelet Therapy.
A 'Rapid Recommendation' has been produced by the GRADE group, in collaboration with MAGIC and BMJ, in response to an RCT showing Dual Anti-Platelet Therapy (DAPT) is superior to Aspirin alone for patients who had suffered acute high risk transient ischaemic attack or minor ischaemic stroke. The interactive MAGIC decision aid that accompanies each Rapid Recommendation is the main route to their clinical implementation. It can facilitate preference-sensitive person-centred care, but only if a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis-based decision support tool is added. A demonstration version of such an add-on to the MAGIC aid, divested of recommendations, is available online. Exploring the results of different preference inputs into the tool raises questions about the strong recommendation for DAPT. |
Proline and glycine control protein self-organization into elastomeric or amyloid fibrils.
Elastin provides extensible tissues, including arteries and skin, with the propensity for elastic recoil, whereas amyloid fibrils are associated with tissue-degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's. Although both elastin-like and amyloid-like materials result from the self-organization of proteins into fibrils, the molecular basis of their differing physical properties is poorly understood. Using molecular simulations of monomeric and aggregated states, we demonstrate that elastin-like and amyloid-like peptides are separable on the basis of backbone hydration and peptide-peptide hydrogen bonding. The analysis of diverse sequences, including those of elastin, amyloids, spider silks, wheat gluten, and insect resilin, reveals a threshold in proline and glycine composition above which amyloid formation is impeded and elastomeric properties become apparent. The predictive capacity of this threshold is confirmed by the self-assembly of recombinant peptides into either amyloid or elastin-like fibrils. Our findings support a unified model of protein aggregation in which hydration and conformational disorder are fundamental requirements for elastomeric function. |

Having a Drink with Tchaikovsky: The Crossmodal Influence of Background Music on the Taste of Beverages.
Previous research has shown that auditory cues can influence the flavor of food and drink. For instance, wine tastes better when preferred music is played. We have investigated whether a music background can modify judgments of the specific flavor pattern of a beverage, as opposed to mere preference. This was indeed the case. We explored the nature of this crosstalk between auditory and gustatory perception, and hypothesized that the 'flavor' of the background music carries over to the perceived flavor (i.e., descriptive and evaluative aspects) of beverages. First, we collected ratings of the subjective flavor of different music pieces. Then we used a between-subjects design to cross the music backgrounds with taste evaluations of several beverages. Participants tasted four different samples of beverages under two contrasting audio conditions and rated their taste experiences. The emotional flavor of the music had the hypothesized effects on the flavor of the beverages. We also hypothesized that such an effect would be stronger for music novices than for music experts, and weaker for aqueous solutions than for wines. However, neither music expertise nor liquid type produced additional effects. We discuss implications of this audio-gustatory interaction. |
Q:
How to pass data from context menu to alert dialog in Android?
The method below happens when an item in a ListActivity is long pressed. The idea is to delete that item from the database and for that I need to call mNotesAdapter.deleteNote(ID). Which works fine if I don't use an AlertDialog; but I should use one for delete confirmations. But I don't know how to pass the menu info, or the id itself to the onClick method.
@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
AdapterContextMenuInfo menuInfo = (AdapterContextMenuInfo)item.getMenuInfo();
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.contextmenu_item_remove:
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this note?");
builder.setPositiveButton("Delete", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// VARIABLE menuInfo IS NOT ACCESSIBLE HERE, NOW WHAT?
mNotesAdapter.deleteNote(menuInfo.id);
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
builder.show();
return true;
}
return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
}
A:
You should be able to access the reference if you mark it as final.
To answer the other question in your comment, final doesn't mean the contents of the object can't be changed. It just means that the reference can't move to another object.
When you enter that method, you're immediately creating a new reference to a new AdapterContextMenuInfo in the first line. Then you're creating a new OnClickListener that will only act on that one object that menuInfo is creating.

Antigonadotropin
An antigonadotropin is a drug which suppresses the activity and/or downstream effects of one or both of the gonadotropins, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). This results in an inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, and thus a decrease in the levels of the androgen, estrogen, and progestogen sex steroids in the body. Antigonadotropins also inhibit ovulation in women and spermatogenesis in men. They are used for a variety of purposes, including for the hormonal birth control, treatment of hormonally-sensitive cancers, to delay precocious puberty and puberty in transgender youth, as a form of chemical castration to reduce the sex drives of individuals with hypersexuality or pedophilia, and to treat estrogen-associated conditions in women such as menorrhagia and endometriosis, among others. High-dose antigonadotropin therapy has been referred to as medical castration.
The most well-known and widely used antigonadotropins are the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues (both agonists and antagonists). However, many other drugs have antigonadotropic properties as well, including compounds acting on sex steroid hormone receptors such as progestogens, androgens, and estrogens (due to negative feedback on the HPG axis), as well as steroid synthesis inhibitors such as danazol and gestrinone. Some antigonadotropins have a multimodal action, such as cyproterone acetate, which exerts its effects via acting as an antiandrogen, progestin, and steroid synthesis inhibitor. Since progestins have relatively little effect on sexual differentiation compared to the other sex steroids, potent ones such as medroxyprogesterone acetate and chlormadinone acetate are often used at high doses specifically for their antigonadotropic effects.
Danazol, gestrinone, and paroxypropione have all been classified specifically as antigonadotropins.

Q:
How to prevent the character '\' from escaping ES6 template strings?
In ES6, I can do something like this:
let myString = `My var: ${myVar}`;
That will automatically replace ${myVar} with the actual value of myVar. Perfect.
But what if I have something like this?
let myString = `My var: \${myVar}`;
The character \ is escaping the ${} construct. It just becomes a regular string.
How can I make \ not to escape in this case?
A:
If you want to have a literal backslash in your template string, you will need to escape it:
let myVar = "test";
let myString = `My var: \\${myVar}`; // "My var: \test"
A:
Try using String.raw:
const name = String.raw`
____ _
| _ \ (_)
| |_) | ___ _ __ __ _ _
| _ < / _ | '__/ _' | |
| |_) | __| | | (_| | |
|____/ \___|_| \__, |_|

Q:
What is the difference between zones in the same region in Google Compute Engine?
What kind of differences are there between different zones in the same region in Google Compute Engine?
For example, in Eastern Asia-Pacific, you can access to a set of different zones in Taipei Taoyuan. However, it shows the following:
asia-east1-a
asia-east1-b
asia-east1-c
What do these three zones do differently and how can you decide which zone to use on your project?
A:
Zones are an isolated location within a region (data-center). They are designed and setup to be independent of the other zones within a region so in the rare case that one zone goes down then the other zones should still function.
The idea behind it is that you should spread your instances across the zones and create high-availability applications.
So in your case it doesn't matter in which zone you deploy your instance and you can use multiple zones/regions within one project
