Q:
Prevent Unity Editor application from entering play mode
Is it possible to prevent Unity from changing the playmode after the user has pressed the button?
Let's say I have a custom editor which may have a state which can't be properly serialized; if user changes Unity Editor mode at this moment, their changes will be lost.
It is an option to completely get rid of non-serializeable state, but this is the task of completely different complexity. Would like to avoid that.
UPD:
I've tested derHugo's answer with the following script:
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
namespace Innoactive.Hub.Training.Editors
{
[InitializeOnLoad]
public class ProveThatDudeWrongWindow : EditorWindow
{
private static ProveThatDudeWrongWindow windowInstance;
private string notSerializedString = "default";
static ProveThatDudeWrongWindow()
{
EditorApplication.playModeStateChanged += OnPlayModeStateChanged;
}
[MenuItem("Test/I'm damn sure he's wrong")]
private static void MenuItem()
{
if (windowInstance == null)
{
windowInstance = GetWindow<ProveThatDudeWrongWindow>();
}
windowInstance.notSerializedString = "some value";
}
[MenuItem("Test/Display current value")]
private static void DisplayCurrentNonSerializedValue()
{
windowInstance = GetWindow<ProveThatDudeWrongWindow>();
Debug.Log("string: " + windowInstance.notSerializedString);
}
private static void OnPlayModeStateChanged(PlayModeStateChange state)
{
if (state == PlayModeStateChange.ExitingEditMode)
{
EditorApplication.isPlaying = false;
}
Debug.Log("state: " + state);
}
}
}
Then I've done the following:
Press Test/I'm damn sure he's wrong option to set non-serialized value from default value to some value
Press Test/Display current value to make sure the value is changed
Press play button
Press Test/Display current value to see current value. If it is default, derHugo's solution does not work, if it is some value, it works.
Result: derHugo is cool.
A:
Yes there is I think
You can register to EditorApplication.playModeStateChanged
Look at the example from the doc I modified:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
public static class PlayModeStateChangedExample
{
private static void LogPlayModeState(PlayModeStateChange state)
{
Debug.Log(state);
}
public static void SetPlayModeEnabled(bool enabled)
{
//This is possible since you allways can remove
//a listener even if there is none so far
//This allways removes the listener making sure it is only added once
EditorApplication.playModeStateChanged -= LogPlayModeState;
if(!enabled)
{
EditorApplication.playModeStateChanged += LogPlayModeState;
}
}
}
Now all that's left is resetting EditorApplication.isPlaying back to false e.g. by replacing
Debug.Log(state);
with
// This mode occures right before entering PlayMode
// and is the moment in which we want to intervene
if(state == PlayModeStateChange.ExitingEditMode)
{
EditorApplication.isPlaying = false;
}
to kill the PlayMode.
So you can call from anywhere e.g.
PlayModeStateChangedExample.SetPlayModeEnabled(false);
I'm not sure however if this would completely prevent the serialization part since it also states in the doc
Setting isPlaying delays the result until after all script code has completed for this frame.

Move with Your Grace
Twirl was released several weeks ago, and it is starting to make its way through town and across the country, into the homes and lives of those who want to partake of its creative essence. The world is full of ideas and strategies on how to live better, look better, make your dreams happen, and feel fulfilled. We are taught to want to rule the world around us, gain our acceptance from the applause of others, and keep fighting to keep up with unrealistic and the less-than-restful status quo at which our society operates.
Twirl is different. The idea of a big book launch was of no interest to me in this particular situation. It’s not that I have anything against book launches; I love watching a rocket take off with great force and great speed, showing us an example of power and awe, strength and the appreciation of design. But Twirl doesn’t follow that pattern. It’s not so much a huge, forceful push as it is the gentle flow of a skirt. It’s the girded strength of delight, the joy of an unbridled laugh, and the acceptance of a hug from God.
We all search for comfort. We all search for a place to express ourselves, to be invited, to be loved for who we are in the moment, and to be free to be fully us. That’s what Twirl carries. It’s an invitation to sit down, take a sip of story and community, breathe, and let go.
It might carry more healing behind the writing than it actually does in the script, because that’s what writing does for us. It helps us release the power of God’s story in us, the joy of His heart in our process, and then the outflow of that process onto paper. For me, writing is about bringing Heaven to Earth from His spirit to mine. It’s not always about the finished product or the polished pitch, though that is also beautiful. It’s more about the intentionality, the grace, the opening of my heart to salvation again and again. It’s about His heart choosing mine, and my scope of understanding that grace in new ways and in different circumstances every day. Writing is a place of letting go, a place of embrace, and also a place of surrender. When the thoughts are on the paper, they are no longer in my head. And after sharing this breath with God, the explanation of it seems to make it more tangible. It makes it available for community and friendship, and relatability. It invites others into the swirl of God’s pleasure and into the art of creative process.
So, as Twirl continues to float its way in and out of mailboxes and electronic screens, and into the hands of people who want to see paint fly and heart express, I hope it find its way to you in His grace and in His timing. There’s no pressure, and there’s no control; it’s the just the result of my life of prayer and the sway of my skirt. As His healing continues to waft over me, I hope that it spins it’s way over to you so that we can live part of life together, in a place of communion and also in a place of art.
You’re free to be you here. Messy and glorious, continually growing and full of creativity. |
Ca channels transduce the cell surface electrical signals in neurons and other excitable cells into intracelular regulatory processes which control contraction, secretion, neurotransmission and gene expression. Studies of neuronal Ca channels in our laboratory and others show that the N-type and L-type channels have distinct subcellular localizations and serve distinct functions in neuronal signal transduction. These channel types are generally similar in their voltage-dependent activation, deactivation, and ion selectivity, but they have physiologically significant differences in their rates and mechanisms of inactivation, their modulation by protein phosphorylation and G proteins, and their interactions with effector proteins including synaptic membrane proteins and cellular signaling proteins. Inactivation, modulation, and interaction with cellular effectors and signaling proteins are likely to be interactive processes, and all three are likely to be determined substantially by protein-protein interactions at the intracellular surface of the Ca channels. While the membrane-associated regions of the alpha1 subunits of neuronal Ca channels have highly homologous primary structures, the intracellular loops connecting the transmembrane domains are highly divergent. Thus, the distinct localization and function of these Ca channels likely depends primarily on the unique structures of their intracellular surface. In the experiments proposed in this application, we will determine the molecular basis for the unique function and modulation of L-type and N-type neuronal Ca channels focussing on the intracellular surface of the Ca channel protein as a primary site at which these events are initiated. Our Specific Aims are to define the sites and mechanisms of modulation of the class B N-type and class C L-type Ca channels by protein phosphorylation; to define the sites and mechanisms of modulation of class B N-type Ca channels by direct interaction with G proteins; to determine the mechanism and physiological significance of receptor-dependent proteolytic processing of the carboxyl terminal domain of the alpha1 subunit of the class C L-type Ca channel; and to identify the sites of interaction of N- type Ca channels with synaptic membrane and synaptic vesicle proteins, examine the physiological role of these interactions in the processes of docking and exocytosis of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles, explore their regulation by protein phosphorylation and G proteins; and search for other intracellular signaling proteins which interact with Ca channels. The results of these experiments will provide essential new information required to understand function of Ca channels in cellular signal transduction in neurons and other cell types. |

Q:
How to get the fillColor of overlay shapes in Google maps?
Look at this code: a is an object we save a circle overlay inside. In Google maps we can get type{polygon, circle, rectangle, marker, polyline} or center{circle}, etc. Imagine you create a circle on the map. How can you get something like this:
a.fillColor = circle.fillColor;
<script>
function getProprties()
{
var a = {};
a.type = circle.type;
a.center = circle.center;
a.redius = circle.radius;
}
</script>
A:
You should be able to use this, using the get function available on all MVCObjects
a.fillColor = circle.get('fillColor');

Quorum sensing and bacterial cross-talk in biotechnology.
Only a decade ago, the secretion and perception of small signalling molecules that in turn are transduced to coordinate behaviour of a 'minimal unit' of microorganisms was termed quorum sensing by EP Greenberg and colleagues. Since then, an explosion (or exponential growth) in understanding and prevalence of quorum-sensing systems has ensued, with sightings ranging from virulence in human and plant pathogens to degradative capacity of activated sludge. Not surprisingly, regulatory mechanisms span traditional inducer/repressor motifs homologous to the lac operon to the recently discovered interfering RNAs. Further characterisation of signalling circuits, coupled with creative niche applications, suggest a wealth of opportunity for advancing commercial biotechnology. |

The object of the present invention is the embodiment of a gas turbine engine of simple construction and high output, adaptable to multiple use.
As an example, it may be used as a power plant to generate electric power, or as an engine for vessels, trains, helicopters, buses, trucks, automotors, etc.
This embodiment, on being put into practice, will offer important advantages over the gas turbine engines existing at present, not only by its low manufacturing cost but also due to the high thermal output that may be expected from it.
The simple construction of this engine will make it particularly adequate for its manufacture with low power to be used in vehicles, in which it may advantageously compete with the present alternative Otto or Diesel cycle engines.
It is to be pointed out that each of the component parts of the engine were worked out on the basis of thorough theoretical calculations, thus insuring the technical feasibility of the invention. |
The use of automated article handling equipment is becoming more widespread in many industries. Article handling equipment includes conveyance devices both overhead and suspended conveyors, as well as floor mounted conveyors. Floor mounted conveyors typically have a base structure which rests on, or is secured to, a floor or other structure. The conveyor base structure supports conveying elements which move articles along a conveyor path. The conveyor path may be straight, curved, or inclined up or down.
Floor mounted conveyors generally provide an uninterrupted conveyor path past and between processing stations, for example, cleaning stations, machining stations, assembly stations, inspection stations, packaging stations, and loading and unloading stations. Therefore, the conveyor path in combination with the processing stations may extend over an uninterrupted length or path of hundreds of feet. However, during the course of normal manufacturing operations and in the course of maintenance of the various pieces of equipment, it is often desired to cross from one side of the conveyor to the other. To accomplish this, bridges are often built over the conveyor. The bridge is generally of a metal construction, requires stairs at both ends and handrails and guarding, all of which results in an expensive construction simply to pass from one side of the conveyor to the other. Without a bridge, the only other practical option is to walk around one or the other of the ends of the conveyor which, of course, is time consuming.
To overcome the above disadvantage of not having access across the conveyor, it is known to take a section of conveyor and bridge that conveyor section, or gate, between the adjacent ends of two fixed conveyors, each of which is mounted on its own base structure. One end of the bridging conveyor gate is pivotally attached to an end of one of the fixed conveyors. Therefore, when it is desired to pass across the conveyor line, the other end of the bridging conveyor gate is lifted, thereby pivoting the bridging conveyor gate with respect to the one of the fixed conveyors. The bridging conveyor gate is held in its elevated position by means of a latch or locking pin that is engaged on one side of the conveyor.
While the above construction is an improvement over situations in which there is no access from one side of the conveyor to the other, it does have some disadvantages. First, the bridging conveyor gate uses gravity fed rollers which require that either the conveyor be mounted on an incline to transport articles thereacross, or the articles are pushed across the conveyor in a continuous line by the articles feeding behind them. Some, small or light weight articles either, do not have sufficient weight to be gravity fed along the rollers, or, are shaped such that they may become entangled in the rollers. Therefore, such small or light weight articles are not suitable for roller gravity feed conveyors and cannot reliably be transported across the bridging conveyor gate. Second, known bridging conveyor gates may have springs to assist in the raising of the bridge section. However, those springs will not hold the conveyor in the raised position; and the bridging conveyor gate must be manually locked in the raised position. The locking pin which is on the one side of the conveyor must be operated from that side as well as the opposite side of the conveyor. Consequently, engaging and disengaging the locking pin from the opposite side of the conveyor is highly inconvenient. |
Thinking of taking a trip to Spitzkoppe in November. Is it possible to climb at all at that time of year? Can you pick routes that are shaded in the morning? What about the standard route up Spitzkoppe?
I haven't been at that time of year, but a friend of mine has.
Its going be hot, no doubt, but there will be shade at certain times of day.
The standard route is fairly shady, parts of it are more like caving then climbing. The days are also long, plenty of climbing time.
Take loads of water, a big floopy hat, long sleeves and an alarm clock to get an early start. I heard that there may be a new possible line up the main face of a more moderate grade then INXS. Sweet
you can go in November but will need to play the \"chase the shade\" game. There are a number of crags and routes in the shade during different parts of the day. Just to add to the take with list: sun screen (NB) and lots of chalk. I am sooo jealous that you are going. It will be a wonderful experience! You'll want to go back! Njoy

Why no #GiftedPride?
This is yet another terrible side effect of the misconception that gifted means better/easier/human computer.
It seems arrogant to say you have a very high IQ.
Mensa seems kind of self-congratulatory.
Come on, now that we know more about autism we should be able to say, this is not a purely positive thing, please give people a break for self-identifying as this.
Yet I don’t think people should necessarily have to identify as something negative to get help and accommodations at work for it.
Should you have to say you are ADD or Aspie to get help at work? Why should it be easier for people like that to get ADA-approved work accommodations, while gifted people simply have poor career satisfaction?
Whatever it is, good or bad, it’s a systematic difference, and as such we would do well to learn how to best accommodate and work with people like this, the same as we learn to work with narcissists, micromanagers, minorities, disabled people, LGBT people, or anyone else. |
Peaceful Anti-war Protest in Parliament Square
In London at the moment, there is a peaceful anti war protest taking place in Parliament square, less than fifty yards from the front door of the “Mother of Parliaments”.
Try as they might, the last government failed to shut them up, and a judicial review is currently underway, and a delay in eviction has been given so the protesters, as is their right, can appeal the judgment made by a previous court hearing against their eviction.
The latest reason given for the camp to be shut down and the permanent “residents” moved on is because it is a health hazard, and looking at some of the protestors, there is probably cause for concern.
With no sanitation or running water, where do these people wash and do all those things we humans do.
Perhaps if there are no decent facilities in parliament square, what about allowing the protestors share the facilities at Westminster, I am sure there are spare toilets available, and with a permanent police presence, each protestor could be escorted to the bathroom, and back out again with minimum fuss.
As I see it, protestors regularly unfurl banners on the roof of Westminster, so there is probably a back way in somewhere.
The problem appears to be that the protestors are a very visible reminder of all the battle grounds around the world that the British government sends troops to, and it is all now getting very tiresome and the joke is wearing thin for the said government.
Democracy is all well and good, but governments don’t want all this here protesting lark from the great unwashed, it is all very embarrassing.
Perhaps a suggestion for the government or the local council of Westminster to lay on some street theater or some good old carnival or fairground attractions to keep the peace protestors happy, and at the same time keep stirring things up; it will be to their advantage, because it will divert public attention away from dubious expenses claims and dodgy second home allowances that “Honorable Members of the House” regularly submit.
If it really is a health issue, surely Westminster council has cleaning operatives who should be working on this, or maybe the Governments’ health and safety legislation restricts the sanitation workers from working in such a hostile and unsanitary environment.
On the other hand, if the camp is permanent, start enforcing the payment of taxes and property tax on the residents at the camp for the privilege of staying there, or maybe there is scope for claiming for a second property like the MP’s do, and have done in the past.
There is probably a compromise, but where Democratic governments and peaceful protestors clash, it is usually the government that wins the day.
If after all this, the protestors lose their eviction appeal, I am sure the police have some peaceful tar gas and tazers to move the great unwashed along. Of course, the best way to get rid of a government is to vote them out at an election, but I guess if voting changed anything, it would be made illegal. |

Carbon dioxide (CO2) produced in power generation facilities is considered to be a green house gas. As such, the carbon dioxide produced in the overall power production process generally is sequestered and then recycled for other purposes. In current integrated gasification combined cycle (“IGCC”) technologies, the precombustion capture of carbon dioxide is preferred. Once captured, the carbon dioxide generally may be compressed before transport, disposal, or other use. Specifically, various IGCC designs require the compression of the carbon dioxide before the gas is recycled to, for example, the feed system, the gasifier, or other locations in the overall IGCC process.
The gross power output from an IGCC or other type of power plant is determined by the output of the gas turbine engine(s) operating on a syngas or other fuel. Any parasitical electrical or other type of load in the power plant serves to reduce the net generation output of the power plant. Compression of carbon dioxide, however, generally requires large amounts of auxiliary compression power. This compression is usually provided by electric drives or steam turbines. This type of parasitic load thus results in lower power plant net output and efficiency.
There is thus a desire for an improved power plant and methods of driving compression equipment and other types of plant equipment without being a parasitic load on the IGCC plant as a whole. Such a reduced parasitic load also will increase the net power generation output. |

Impedance measuring circuits are known. In the impedance measuring circuits, input signals such as AC signals are input to a target such as a living body, and an impedance in the target is measured based on a magnitude of the input signal reflected or transmitted by the target.
When the target is a human body, the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law limits a current that can be supplied to a human body.
Therefore, impedance measuring circuits of the related art include a protective resistor such that a current larger than or equal to a limited value is prevented from flowing in a human body.
However, a protective resistor results in a smaller voltage amplitude of the input signal reflected or transmitted by the target, and thus it is desirable that a gain of an amplifier for amplifying the input signal is high. Since the input signal includes a noise component, a high gain of the amplifier may cause a signal component of the original target to be buried in the noise component and thus accurately measuring an impedance in the target may become difficult.
Therefore, instead of the protective resistor, a capacitor may be connected in series to the impedance in the target, thereby removing a DC voltage component that includes a noise component and detecting an AC signal component. However, the capacitor connected in series to the impedance in the target may hinder determination of a DC point of the aforementioned amplifier, thereby hindering correct measurement of the impedance in the target. |
Wartime Zeroes
The Folger Theatre is a brilliant location for 'Henry IV,' and these weeks before the elections, the perfect timing
You would hardly need to fall into the ”news junkie” category to be aware of how ugly the presidential campaign has gotten. Even a recent Saturday Night Live appearance by GOP vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin caused reader boards on some blogs to light up with comments that seemed exceptionally brutal given their catalyst.
Disagreeing with someone’s policy stances or fitness to serve in office is one thing, using a rap song involving two Eskimos and someone dressed as a moose as an opportunity to loose an angry diatribe (including a c-word that was not ”caribou”) seems another. Frankly, the argument could be made that the Inuit citizens of Alaska have the bigger gripe in this particular situation.
Jolly and fat: Williams
But politics are ugly and, if William Shakespeare is to be believed, they always have been. And, if Henry IV, Part I is to be believed, politics have also always offered the opportunity for a couple of laughs.
Sitting as it does in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol, the Folger Theatre is a brilliant location for a production of Henry IV,and these weeks before the elections, the perfect timing. While it won’t help the undecided make their final choice, the play does provide an exceptional way to spend that deliberation time. This is a strong production of one of the Bard’s more complicated and truly funny plays.
King Henry IV (Rick Foucheux) has taken the throne after the successful overthrow of Richard II but has not been welcomed into power as he had expected. A revolution against Henry’s reign is brewing and his son Hal, Prince of Wales (Tom Story), is lazy, unmotivated and would far rather spend his time drinking and carousing with his friends than take true responsibility. The prince is such a public embarrassment that the elder Henry wishes in front of several members of his family that the soldier Hotspur (David Graham Jones) were his son instead of Hal.
Ironically, Hotspur is anxious to have the simmering rebellion against Henry erupt into full-blown war. Hotspur and his father, the Earl of Northumberland, and uncle, the Earl of Worcester, all believe that they’ve been mistreated by Henry IV and want him out. This, despite the fact that these men were responsible for bringing Henry IV to power in the first place.
Are you seeing any contemporary parallels here? What if mention were made of the absence of leadership when the battle finally erupts or the mismanagement of funds for the soldiers?
Anything?
Henry IV, Part I is where audiences are introduced to the wonderfully drawn comic character Sir John Falstaff. Classical theater’s favorite jolly fat man, Falstaff is Prince Hal’s closest friend and most unreliable ally. A liar and a coward, he is brought wonderfully and vividly to life by Delaney Williams in one of the Folger production’s most successful bits of casting.
Williams manages his Falstaff in such a way that he is neither fully buffoon nor deceitful savant, giving the man a warm and genuine humanity which makes him as much a companion to the audience as he is to Hal.
Speaking of Hal, Story is surprisingly agile as the wayward prince. This is a role that requires a sizeable leap for any actor — moving convincingly from barroom slacker to battlefield warrior. Story makes the transition without sacrificing Hal’s good-natured boyishness. His Hal becomes the underdog we cheer for thanks to the really intelligent choices the actor is making on stage.
Mention must also be made of the popular Rick Foucheux in the title role. Making the most of the comparatively short time that King Henry is on stage, Foucheux plays the monarch with a certain desperation. We see a man struggling to hold onto the power he’s gained while all the time realizing how fragile the ground on which he’s standing truly is.
The standout in this production, however, is Graham Jones as the young upstart Hotspur. Arrogant and short tempered, ill-behaved and completely unable to grasp the value of diplomacy, he presents Hotspur as an arrogant rock star. Jones doesn’t cross the stage as much as struts about it. It’s a portrayal that is hard edged, sexy and it positively works, particularly as a counterpoint to Story’s Hal.
The Folger has done a fine job bringing the political scheming, backroom double dealing and drunken horseplay of Henry IV, Part I to the stage. Even better, they’re mounting their play just down the street from where the real drama is taking place. |

At its fall meeting in November, Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure approved a new subcommittee report, Accommodating Faculty Members Who Have Disabilities, for publication and wide distribution.
When Alex Lubet, professor of music at the University of Minnesota, returned to his job after surgery on his neck, he found that he fell between the cracks of the university’s disability-accommodation policies. As Peter Monaghan reported in the Chronicle of Higher Education, although Lubet was “permanently partially disabled,” he discovered he was “not entitled to workplace accommodations.” Lubet was provided “adaptive office equipment” but not consulted about his needs. As a consequence, he could rarely use what was provided.
Boldness, defense, and the necessity of talking back remain as central to life with disability in our time as in Francis Bacon’s age. “Therefore all deformed persons are extreme bold,” Bacon wrote, “first, as in their own defence, as being exposed to scorn, but in process of time, by a general habit.” |
Q:
Where does .NET framework code calls to draw a window (native C++)?
If I use the System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox class' show function to draw a message box, a window pops up. I would like to know where the actual code to draw this window is? Is it in some Win32 API or user32.dll etc.? Through reflector I am unable to see the definition of Show method.
Also, is .NET a wrapper around win32 api then? I know that when we compile .net code it generates IL which is converted to CPU specific instructions at run time and then our CPU executes those instructions. But I have a feeling that there is some common code in Windows OS that's responsible for drawing a window (or reading from text file etc.). All these languages like C++, F#, C#, Java etc. eventually call that code from within the framework. But the question how can I go about finding it and verify it?
For example: in MFC or Win32 whichever function we called to draw a window on the screen, MessageBox.Show also calls the same function but its abstracted from us?
Then on the other hand we can inter operate between two languages.
So I am little confused here. Also I am reading CLR via C# these days so my brain is in super excited state :-)
A:
I think that you are on the right track. No matter the language or the framework, at the very bottom is the Operating System, so everything ends there, eventually: system calls.
For example, to open a file in Windows the system call is CreateFile(), no matter if you used C fopen, C++ ifstream, C# System.IO.* or Java java.io.*.
About your questions of System.Windows.Forms, they use the usual Win32 windows, so the windows are identified by HWND values, represented in the CLR as IntPtr.
And about the function to show the window, your question is a bit misleading, as there are several functions involved, and several layers in the Win32 API.
For example to create a window, you call CreateWindowEx(), to show it if hidden call ShowWindow(), and the paint itself will be handled when the window procedure (a callback you have to write) receives the WM_PAINT message. But in order to receive messages you have to write a message pump (GetMessagte() / DispatchMessage()).
But to create a simple MessageBox() there is a function already available that does all that for you: MessageBox(), for which the System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox class is a direct wrapper.
So now, what was the question? Ah, yes, can we interoperate between System.Windows.Forms and Win32? Yes!

Synopsis
After watching a horror film, Sid notices that Stinky has the attributes of being a vampire.
Plot
The episode opens with Arnold, Sid and Stinky watching a vampire movie at the movie theater. After they leave the theater, Sid becomes paranoid and scared of vampires. Stinky then pretends that he's a vampire and frightens Sid. Sid is then told by Arnold and Stinky that vampires aren't real before he heads to his house. That night Sid has a nightmare where he's chased by Stinky as a vampire which ends with Stinky biting him in the neck.
The next day at school, Sid begins to notice "strange" things with Stinky such as him wearing sunglasses, turning down garlic bread at lunch and him being interested in a blood drive, causing Sid to be convinced that he is a vampire. He tries to tell Arnold about Stinky being a vampire, but he does not believe him.
Sid later checks out a book from the library about vampires and finds out that vampires have no reflection. He then takes a picture of Stinky (who bends down), Sid then shows Arnold the picture but Arnold does not believe him. He later steals Stinky's sandwich and believes that he found fang marks however, Arnold still does not believe him.
Later that night, Sid sneaks onto Stinky's property, Stinky then hides the window curtains and a bat flies down from Stinky's bedroom towards Sid. He then brings the bat (thinking it's Stinky) to school the next day in a cage to show Arnold. Arnold then releases the bat from its cage, causing Sid to freak out.

Q:
Adding my own UIElement control in XAML
I have always programmed in C# procedural code, not in XAML, but now, due to team working i have to use XAML, but I need to add my custom controls. I have the controls in both ways:
I can add the classes to the project or I can use my DLL where are the components.
If I copy and paste the classes which contains my components, I will have a class for each components:
class FXGrid
class FXListBox
class FXButton
class FXPanel
etc
But now, how do I add my components in XAML so I can view them in the visual editor?
If I add the DLL, do I just add the reference and create an xmlns:MyGrid="..." ?
I tried but I can't get it working. Do I need to change something?
Thanks.
A:
This is weird, but in my case this was fixed by adding the XAML DLL assembly reference like this:
xmlns:FxComps="clr-namespace:FxComps;assembly=FxComps"
Don't know why, but adding assembly=FxComps fixed my problem, now I can use it.

After leaving the stockades, the orphans briefly settled for lucerne before Ukame led the way to the browsing field. Roi opted to browse with Kauro as Ukame settled to feed with Pare. Maramoja had a lengthy chat with Siangiki before moving to join Rapa to browse. The temperature continued to skyrocket making the orphans flap their ears continuously as they went on browsing. They also walked under trees with shade as they slowly moved to the mud bath. After having their noon bottle feeds, Karisa led the group to wallow in the mud bath. Shortly after, they went to dust themselves with soil to dry off. In the afternoon, the orphans settled to browse in the Imenti area where Kauro and Namalok took a break from feeding to relax under a tree until the temperature dropped. In the evening, the orphans passed by the mud bath where they had an evening cool-off.
Laragai, Garzi, Kithaka, Barsilinga, Lemoyian, Siangiki, Enkikwe, Olsekki and Sokotei, who had spent the night outside after the cunning Laragai managed to open the gate for them, reported early in the morning at the stockade compound. The other orphans were let out and joined them outside. Maramoja followed by Rapa led the way straight to the browsing field as the rest of the herd followed behind them. Only Kauro was seen from time to time taking some time off from feeding to participate in a soil dusting exercise. The temperature was moderate and after the orphans had their noon milk bottle they jumped into the mud wallow and enjoyed cooling off by wading through the water from one edge to the other. Boromoko and Galla enjoyed climbing on their friends while still in the water. After wallowing, Barsilinga and Kithaka had a light strength testing exercise as Lemoyian watched, hoping to get an invitation by the winner. In the afternoon, the orphans settled to browse close to Imenti area where Pare and Maramoja took a break from feeding to relax under a tree until it was a bit cooler and they felt like browsing again.
Early in the morning a group of wild elephants totaling twenty in number reported for water at the stockade water troughs. A wild mother with her three calves had come to join the orphans to feed on lucerne. Nasalot, who was missing the previous day with Lenana, showed up in the morning looking good. Nasalot walked the baby Nusu up to the stockade escorted by Chyulu and Lenana. Once the juniors were let out, Tusuja had the opportunity to familiarize himself with Nusu as Sidai stood guard. Shortly later, there was a scuffle when two wild elephants tried to chase away some wild dogs and buffaloes that had come for water at the stockade. Yatta and her group reported and joined the juniors for lucerne. Kamok briefly chatted with Kama as Boromoko played with Galla.
Out in the bush, the orphans were joined by Yatta and her group and at eleven o'clock, they escorted them to the mud bath. At mud bath time the herd was joined by fifteen wild bulls. In the afternoon, the orphans settled to browse on the western slopes of Ithumba Hill while Yatta’s group settled to browse in the Imenti area. It was a hot afternoon, and the orphans had to rest under a tree for sometime before resuming browsing. In the evening the orphans as usual passed by the mud bath again for an evening wallow.
It was a quiet morning when the orphans left the stockades and settled to eat their lucerne. Only Makireti and Kilabasi joined the juniors in the morning. Soon after the juniors were through with the lucerne, Lemoyian and Boromoko had a brief strength testing exercise before heading out to the bush. Sokotei played with Tusuja as Garzi played with Barsilinga. Shukuru, Naseku, Wanjala and Ukame briefly participated in a soil dusting exercise and after resumed browsing. At mud bath time, the orphans were joined by Orok and ten wild bulls. After the orphans had enough of wallowing, Laragai led the way back to the browsing field. The orphans settled to browse around Imenti area up to four o'clock in the evening when Kamok led the way for an evening cooling off in the mud wallow.
Only three wild bulls showed up for water in the morning at the stockade water troughs. The orphans settled briefly for lucerne before being led away by Shukuru. They settled to browse in Kanziku where Lemoyian and Sokotei had a lengthy strength testing exercise that finally ended in a draw. The rest of team concentrated on browsing until ten thirty in morning when Ex Orphan bull Tomboi joined them and then escorted the juniors to the mud bath.
At mud bath time there was drama when Lemoyian finished his milk and then turned on Olsekki to snatch more than his share from Olsekki's mouth. The keepers responded and Lemoyian left unhappy and seemed to wait for Olsekki a distance away from the keepers to take his revenge. Olsekki was clever though and after finishing his milk he used a different route to the water trough, thus avoiding Lemoyian and whatever he had planned. The weather was slightly cloudier today and none of the orphans wanted to go into the water hole. Only Tomboi and two wild bulls decided to go for a swim. Roi picked a leftover branch that was probably dropped by a wild elephant and continued to peel its bark as the rest of the team concentrated on drinking water. In the afternoon the orphans settled to browse in between Ithumba Hill and Imenti area and on the way back to the stockade, Shukuru led her friends to cool off since the weather had changed since the morning and it was now really hot. In the evening, Galana, Gawa, Loijuk, Lenana and a wild female showed up at the stockade and left shortly after dark when they had drunk enough water. |
Q:
Where are the files in Windows Azure
Where do the files for a Windows Azure cloud service reside? I have been looking and looking and I can't seem to find it. I need to make some changes to some of the files and I can't find them. Is there like a cPanel File Manager available?
A:
It depends on what you mean by a cloud service.
PaaS = You can only change files by creating a new CSPKG and deploying it. You cannot modify files via RDP.
IaaS = RDP to the VM and do whatever you want to do. You can also use things like WinRM, service extensions, Chef/Puppet, etc
Websites = Update the file in your repository (ie. Github) or upload the file via FTP

Conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and other techniques are used to deposit electrically conductive material into the contact holes, vias, trenches, or other patterns formed on a substrate. The presence of native or process generated oxides and other contaminants within a feature frequently can result in voids by promoting uneven distribution of the depositing metal. The residual oxides typically form as a result of exposing the exposed film layer/substrate to oxygen or as a byproduct of wafer processing. Oxygen exposure can occur, for example, when moving substrates between processing chambers at atmospheric conditions, or when a small amount of oxygen remaining in a vacuum chamber contacts a substrate/film layer, or when a layer is contaminated by etching, or oxygen exposure during mask removal. Other defects within the features formed on a substrate can be sputtered material from an oxide over-etch, residual photoresist from a stripping process, leftover hydrocarbon or fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers from a previous oxide etch process, or redeposited material from a preclean sputter etch process. The native oxide and other defects create regions on the substrate which increases contact resistance.
The presence of native or process generated oxides and other defects may increase the via/contact resistance. Although defects may be limited to a thin boundary region within the features, even a thin boundary region can form a substantial part of small feature(s). The acceptable level of defects in the features decreases as the features get smaller in width.
Substrate processing systems, such as plasma preclean chambers utilizing resonator inductor circuits, may be used to clean a substrate before or after other processes. However, the inventors have observed that current fixed position resonator inductor circuits can only be tuned to a single position for a given configuration.
Accordingly, the inventors have provided embodiments of an improved substrate processing system. |
Q:
Access parent model data from child in ASP.NET MVC
I am building small web application with ASP.NET MVC C#. I have two models:
public class Parent
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Child> Children { get; set; }
}
public class Child
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public Guid ParentId{ get; set; }
public virtual Parent Parent { get; set; }
}
And I have ParentView where I send Parent Id to Child Controller with ActionLink, like this:
@Html.ActionLink("something", "ChildIndexMethod", "ChildController", new { parentId=item.Id}, null)
When clicked, we go to ChildIndexView and list of all Children under Parent model. From there, what I want is to be able to create new Child under same Parent. To create new Child I need to provide ParentId to a new Child object. How can I retrieve that ParentId and pass it to Child?
I did this:
if (Model.FirstOrDefault() != null)
{
@Html.ActionLink("New child", "NewChild", new { parentId = Model.FirstOrDefault().ParentId})
}
else
{
//What to do if Model is null?
}
First I check if Model is not null. If it is not null, I take FirstOrDefault object from model and pass ParentId to a Child. But it only works if there are Children already under Parent. IF there are no Children under Parent, I cannot read ParentId and thus error occurs. How can I send ParentId to a Child element from this position?
I know this is probably wrong method to achieve my goal. But I am still learning. Also, I was not able to find answer on SO. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
A:
It seems the Model in the children view is an IEnumerable<Child>. You have two options:
Define a new viewmodel which contains the list of Child and the parentid:
public ChildListViewModel
{
public Guid ParentId {...}
public IEnumerable <Child> Children {...}
}
Use view bag
ViewBag.ParentId = parentId;
Both will make ParentId available in your view even if you don't have any Child

Remote Control of Heterodimeric Magnetic Nanoswitch Regulates the Adhesion and Differentiation of Stem Cells.
Remote, noninvasive, and reversible control over the nanoscale presentation of bioactive ligands, such as Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide, is highly desirable for temporally regulating cellular functions in vivo. Herein, we present a novel strategy for physically uncaging RGD using a magnetic field that allows safe and deep tissue penetration. We developed a heterodimeric nanoswitch consisting of a magnetic nanocage (MNC) coupled to an underlying RGD-coated gold nanoparticle (AuNP) via a long flexible linker. Magnetically controlled movement of MNC relative to AuNP allowed reversible uncaging and caging of RGD that modulate physical accessibility of RGD for integrin binding, thereby regulating stem cell adhesion, both in vitro and in vivo. Reversible RGD uncaging by the magnetic nanoswitch allowed temporal regulation of stem cell adhesion, differentiation, and mechanosensing. This physical and reversible RGD uncaging utilizing heterodimeric magnetic nanoswitch is unprecedented and holds promise in the remote control of cellular behaviors in vivo. |

The invention relates to a device for anchoring panels on an anchoring base such as a building wall or the like.
In anchoring devices of this type it is known to construct the supporting part as a threaded bolt and to position it between two lateral plates of the horizontal supporting part such that it is axially displaceable in a nut thread which can be arranged or made on the two lateral plates. At the same time, unintentional turning of the support can be prevented by additionally counter-locking the threaded connection involving a not inconsiderable effort. |
Catalytic effect of cesium cation adduct formation on the decarboxylation of carboxylate ions in the gas phase.
The effect of Cs(+) ligation on the decarboxylation of malonic acids (unsubstituted and methyl-, dimethyl-, ethyl-, and phenyl-substituted) in their carboxylate form was studied in the gas phase using tandem mass spectrometry. The study is based on the comparison of the decarboxylation of the bare monoanion (hydrogen malonates) and of the cesium adduct of the cesium salt (Cs(+) [cesium hydrogen malonates]) under collisional activation. Energy-resolved dissociation curves of the negative and positive ions exhibit major differences. Decarboxylation of the cationic adducts of substituted malonic acid salts occurs at significantly lower collisional activation than for the corresponding bare hydrogen malonate anions. The conclusions from these experiments are supported by DFT calculations. The calculated activation parameters (enthalpy and Gibbs energy) confirm that the cesium cation coordination assists the decarboxylation of the carboxylate form. |
Q:
How to implement CSRF protection in Ajax calls using express.js (looking for complete example)?
I am trying to implement CSRF protection in an app built using node.js using the express.js framework. The app makes abundant use of Ajax post calls to the server. I understand that the connect framework provides CSRF middleware, but I am not sure how to implement it in the scope of client-side Ajax post requests.
There are bits and pieces about this in other Questions posted here in stackoverflow, but I have yet to find a reasonably complete example of how to implement it from both the client and server sides.
Does anyone have a working example they care to share on how to implement this? Most of the examples I have seen, assume you are rendering the form on the server-side and then sending it (along with the embedded csrf_token form field) to the client-side. In my app, all content is rendered on the client-side (including templates) via Backbone.js. All the server does is provide values in JSON format, which are utilized by various Models in Backbone.js on the client-side. By my understanding I would need to retrieve the csrf_token via ajax first before it can be used. However, I am concerned this may be problematic from a security standpoint. Is this a valid concern?
A:
It can be done by adding meta tag for CSRF token and then pass CSRF token with every Ajax request
Server
Add CSRF middleware
app.use(express.csrf());
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
res.locals.token = req.session._csrf;
next();
});
You can pass a CSRF token to the client side via, say, a meta tag. For ex, in Jade
meta(name="csrf-token", content="#{token}")
Client
jQuery has a feature called ajaxPrefilter, which lets you provide a callback to be invoked every Ajax request. Then set a header using ajaxPrefilter.
var CSRF_HEADER = 'X-CSRF-Token';
var setCSRFToken = function (securityToken) {
jQuery.ajaxPrefilter(function (options, _, xhr) {
if (!xhr.crossDomain) {
xhr.setRequestHeader(CSRF_HEADER, securityToken);
}
});
};
setCSRFToken($('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content'));
A:
server.js
...
// All Cookies/Sessions/BodyParser go first
app.use(express.csrf());
...
// Get the request
app.post('/ajax', function(req, res){
res.render('somelayout', {csrf_token: req.session._csrf});
});
In somelayout.jade
input(type='hidden', name='_csrf', value=csrf_token)
The CSRF middleware only generates the csrf token once per session, so it will probably not change for the duration of a user's visit.
Also, it doesn't check for the token on GET and HEAD requests. As long as the token is in the request (header, body, or query), you're good. That's pretty much all there is to it.
A:
Since you are using Backbone.js for your application, I am assuming that it is a SPA and you initially load an index.html file, then make any other requests are made via ajax calls. If so, you can add a small snippet of JS code to your index.html file to hold the crsf token for any future ajax calls.
For example:
index.html (using Handlebars for templating...)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript">
$( function() {
window.Backbone.csrf = "{{csrfToken}}";
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
When you render the index.html file, give it the csrf token that the express framework generated here: req.session._csrf
When you use Backbone.js, it sets a global variable called Backbone. All that the previous function is doing is seting a property called csrf to the global Backbone object. And when you make an ajax call to POST data, simply add the Backbone.csrf variable to the data as _csrf that is being sent via the ajax call.

Transfer of learning in avoiding false memory: the roles of warning, immediate feedback, and incentive.
Participants learned semantic associates and were tested in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. A multiple-trial learning procedure with warning, feedback, and monetary incentive was employed to reduce false memory. Results showed that there was a progressive reduction of false memory over the trials as well as a generalization of learning to new lists of words in avoiding the critical nonpresented words attributable to explicit warning, feedback, and incentive, respectively. Both the feedback and the monetary incentive had an effect beyond what an explicit warning could obtain. In addition, participants were found to achieve false-memory reduction by enhancing the activation of the critical words and the monitoring process, rather than by strengthening the verbatim processing of the list words. It was concluded that false memory may not be as impervious to correction as was believed insofar as an effective training method is applied. |

tulsi
reverence for plants
What would the world be like if our spiritual traditions taught us that plants were sacred?
In the early morning quiet of a Rajasthani courtyard grows a fragrant herb. It stands erect in its clay pot, reaching in all directions with many soft and slightly hairy branches. Its long, thin purple leaves are covered with essential oil glands that produce a subtle aura which perfumes the surrounding atmosphere, while its crimson flowers blossom in tight whorls.
An elderly woman emerges from an intricately carved wooden door and walks slowly across the smooth, white marble toward the waiting plant. She carries water in a vase, incense and other items of worship. The plant knows the woman, who comes every day to make offerings, recite prayers and invoke the protective and benevolent blessings that the herb offers. To a botanist, the plant is Ocimum Sanctum, holy basil, but to the woman it is Tulsi, the goddess who loves Krishna.
The woman performs a simple ritual honoring the plant and its mythological symbolism. She offers it a drink of water and incense smoke, softly reciting the mantras that invoke the presence of Tulsi Devi, the living goddess, while the plant exhales the aromatic breath that protects the home from disease-carrying insects. The woman remembers that once, in the magical time of Hindu mythology, Tulsi was passionately in love with Krishna. Now, having taken the form of this dark-leafed basil, she is always close to her beloved, because Krishna loves to be given offerings of tulsi above all other herbs.
Rituals and ceremonies honoring plants are often based on the traditional understanding of their ecological functions. In the Baghavad Gita Krishna, the incarnation of Vishnu, says, “If you want to worship me, worship the banyan tree.” Ecologically, the banyan tree produces more oxygen than almost any other tree, revealing that it is indeed the temple of the Vishnu, the sustainer of life. Likewise, Krishna says in the Baghavad Gita, “I am the fragrance of the soil,” again pointing to the presence of the life-sustaining divinity within the biological elements. Those who worship the tulsi plant frequently pay it homage in the early morning hours, knowing that this is the time when it purifies the air with its biorhythmic production of essential oils.
What would the world be like if our spiritual traditions taught us to respect plants because they have the power to heal our painful illnesses? In India, where spirituality infuses people’s view of the natural world, holy basil has been revered as a compassionate medicinal plant for thousands of years. Ayurveda describes tulsi as an herb that purifies of the mind, body and spirit by aromatically opening and stimulating the channels of prana. Tulsi tea is used for a multitude of illnesses, its essential oil giving the leaves a pleasant, spicy taste that dispels phlegm and congestion, stops cough, eliminates nausea, and increases appetite. It is used traditionally for various types of fevers, infections of the ear, nose and throat, to promote labor during childbirth, and to increase the flow of milk while nursing. It is a stimulant to the mind when exhausted, a purifier of the blood, a remedy for skin diseases, and a beneficial tonic for circulation.
Tulsi essential oil should be used with extreme caution, as it is a powerful irritant if applied directly to the skin. The oil, with its rich, sweet, fresh-herbaceous scent with pronounced clove and anise accents, is best used in atmospheric diffusers or steam cabinets, one drop at a time and diluted with other oils such as eucalyptus and fir. Used this way, it can be a very effective respiratory and immune stimulant, helping to overcome chronic conditions such as cold and damp type of asthma, and repeated colds and flus. For all other uses, the leaves should be infused and taken as tea.
The woman in the courtyard finishes her simple ritual. She places a tulsi leaf in her mouth as a sacrament, remembering that the incarnated goddess is protecting her family from illness and misfortune. In the days ahead the woman will perform another ritual, marrying Tulsi to her beloved Krishna.
Before humans could walk upon this earth, the plants first worked their photosynthetic alchemy. They exhaled oxygen so that we could breathe, and ozone to protect us from the deadly solar rays. For unimaginable eons they have been binding toxic atmospheric gases into the soil so that we may grow and thrive. They regulate the seasons, rejuvenate the soil, and cleanse the poisons we put everywhere. Every day they give their bodies as offerings of nourishment and medicine. Shouldn’t we regard plants as the creators and sustainers of our terrestrial home, who are worthy of respect and devotion?

On Monday, University of Alberta Associate Professor of Native Studies Kim TallBear spoke at Harper Memorial Library as part of an event organized by the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory. Her lecture, “Settler Love Is Breaking My Heart,” explored the constructs and structures of “compulsory monogamy” as a tool for the colonization of indigenous peoples, and how “more than monogamous” relationships are a tool for decolonization and restitution of indigenous ways of life.
TallBear grew up on the Flandreau Santee Sioux reservation in South Dakota and in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is an enrolled member of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate in South Dakota, according to her biography on her website. She is also a Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples, Technoscience, and Environment, a position awarded to her by the Canadian government, and writes a blog titled “The Critical Polyamorist.”
TallBear began her lecture by dedicating her talk to “the many humans suffering [from] profound loneliness within their monogamous relationships, or due to other deprivation stemming from a compulsory monogamy structure.”
The term compulsory monogamy refers to both social norms surrounding monogamy as well as the economic and logistical benefits of state-sanctioned marriage. TallBear’s lecture dove into the origins of these notions and their societal and historical consequences, especially for indigenous peoples whose relations before settler colonialism did not follow traditional monogamy.
TallBear uses the term “relations” to refer to both relationships between humans and the relationships humans have with the environment and animals, among other things.
“Historically, it has been straight white men, in general, [who are] at the helm of the religious, state, and scientific institutions. They largely assume that monogamy is a natural marker of civilizational and evolutionary advancement,” TallBear said.
TallBear and her contemporaries challenge these notions, of monogamy as a natural maker of civilizational advancement, by putting science in conversation with social theory. “Co-production, or co-constitution, are social construction theories that work to not underplay materiality’s role in our reality,” TallBear explained.
“The natural orders that science describes are co-produced with the culture or society that is doing the observing,” TallBear said.
Throughout her lecture, TallBear illustrated how oppressive treatment of indigenous peoples by the U.S. and Canadian governments forcibly reshaped the ways indigenous people relate to each other and “more than humans,” which TallBear describes as entities such as “land, water, and other than human relatives.”
Settler states and the construct of compulsory monogamy, TallBear said, “violently shape and suppress the sexual realities and relationships of indigenous life.”
TallBear asks “if decolonized relationship forms cannot be exactly what our ancestors relationships forms were, can they be other than predicted on settler-imposed compulsory monogamy and nuclear family forms?” TallBear emphasized that monogamous relationships are closely linked with private property and the imposition of settler laws.
“All of this was imposed to disrupt or steal indigenous relations,” TallBear added.
TallBear also spoke openly about her own experience with monogamy and family. “Being married, squeezing myself into the box of a normative marriage, is the hardest thing I have done,” TallBear said.
Despite ending her intimate relationship with her husband, TallBear remains legally married. “We have never legally divorced. I don’t care about the legalities. I don’t plan on marrying again. And we are both paperwork procrastinators,” TallBear joked.
However, the fact that she remains in a legal marriage paints a telling picture about the benefits of state-sanctioned marriage, she added.
“Perhaps we also stay legally married because, within the settler-colonial system, state-sanctioned marriage, whether secular or ceremonial, provides benefits that make it easier to sustain kinship networks,” TallBear said, adding that “this was of course the point of its imposition: to support some family forms and to undercut others.”
TallBear also referenced same-sex couples and their fight for marriage rights to explain why the right to legal marriage is so attractive. “Legal marriage facilitates health care privileges, next-of-kin rights, immigration [benefits], tax benefits, and child custody arrangements. These are reasons why same sex couples have pushed hard for state-sanctioned marriage,” TallBear said.
However, TallBear noted she would rather see these benefits “untethered” from the legalities of monogamy, rather than simply expanded to include a more diverse definition of marriage.
TallBear finished her lecture by telling the audience, “May your networks of love and relations be many, and not caged within settler-colonial norms of rapacious individualism, hierarchies of life, and ownership of land, water, bodies, and desires.” |
Exchange Vocabulary
Upset feelings are usually caused by the way we are thinking about the events in our lives, not by the events themselves.
To change your feelings (and your behavior), try the following “Exchange Vocabulary.”
This idea was given to me by a client, who related it to an exchange list for unhealthy foods. When you first try this new way of thinking, it might not feel right. The more you do it, however, the more natural these realistic beliefs will become.
I think you will like the results, but prove it for yourself by giving it a fair try.
Good luck.

NBC bills American Odyssey as a thriller, but that makes it sound less sophisticated than what it is. This is entertainment, just a step away from reality: a scary thing, which is what keeps us anxious for where it goes next. It becomes clear that a US company is funding Islamic terrorists; it becomes clear that the public doesn't have any concept of what they don't know. Sergeant Odelle Ballard (Anna Friel) is the only surviver of an attack in North Africa: her biggest challenge (besides staying alive) it to try to convince people back home that she is alive. There are several threads to this story: plenty of questions to ask, plenty of characters to like, and then despise.

does VB6 allow referencing Form instance as a singleton just by naming its data type? or what is happening?
I am seeing code like "Unload frmMain" where from what I can tell frmMain is the type/module name, and I don't think it could also be simultaneously a variable name of the "ObjFrmMain" sort. Nevertheless, this command does successfully induce the form in question to unload.
So is the data type being used as an alias for its single existing instance? Or maybe for all of its instances?
Does VB6 do similar things to data types other than those derived from Form?
A:
Yes, VB6 has odd object behavior. It gives you some shortcuts for dealing with form objects.
Load frmMain
...will load a single instance of that form under that variable name. In fact:
frmMain.lblSomeLabel.Caption = "some caption"
... will load that instance. However:
frmMain.SomeStringMember = "some value"
... will not load the form object (meaning the window itself) but you can access these variables, so in essence, the name of the form is a global variable.
You can, however, create new instances:
Dim newForm As MyForm
Set newForm = New MyForm
newForm.Show vbModal
That will actually create a new instance of MyForm, load it and show it, so you can have multiple instances of one form.
Also beware of the oddness in the New keyword:
Dim newObject As New MyClass
Set newObject = Nothing
newObject.SomeStringProperty = "some value"
This works without an "Object Reference Not Set ..." error. When you declare a reference variable using the As New syntax, you can destroy the object by setting it to Nothing and then reference that variable again and it will create a new instance.
In fact that's what's really going on with the forms. There is an implicit:
Dim frmMain As New frmMain
Personally I prefer not to use the As New syntax because it's confusing and dangerous. It also has a performance penalty, vs. this:
Dim newObject As MyClass
Set newObject = New MyClass
... but you're stuck with it for the forms.
What's happening when you call Unload frmMain is that it unloads the window (and all the controls) so all the data in those are gone, but the object frmMain is still hanging around. Therefore even after you unload it, you can still access any member variables and properties. However, if anything references any control on the form, it will trigger an implicit Load frmMain. This is the source of a lot of subtle programming errors in VB6, especially when you're trying to shut down.

Cameron Insists Britain Still “Full Member” of EU
Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom defended his veto of European treaty change in parliament on Monday where he insisted that his demands were “modest, reasonable and relevant” and that he was not trying to create “an unfair advantage for Britain.”
Other European countries rejected Cameron’s demand for exemption of Britain’s financial industry from regulatory reform, compelling them to push ahead with fiscal integration within the eurozone.
Although the other European countries that are outside of the currency area are expected to join the fiscal compact, Cameron argued that “Britain remains a full member of the EU and the events of the last week do nothing to change that.”
The prime minister stressed that Europe’s single market is a huge boon to the British economy. “We are a trading nation and we need the single market for trade, investment and jobs,” he said. More than half of British trade is conducted with continental European nations.
The Labour opposition was critical however. Ed Miliband feared that Cameron’s decision had condemned Britain to “the sidelines not just for one summit but for the years ahead.”
Deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, who leads the Liberal Democrats, Cameron’s junior coalition partners, expressed a similar concern when he told the BBC that Britain was “hovering somewhere in the mid-Atlantic, not standing tall in Europe and not being taken seriously in Washington.” |
Photoelectrochemical behavior of hierarchically structured Si/WO3 core-shell tandem photoanodes.
WO3 thin films have been deposited in a hierarchically structured core-shell morphology, with the cores consisting of an array of Si microwires and the shells consisting of a controlled morphology WO3 layer. Porosity was introduced into the WO3 outer shell by using a self-assembled microsphere colloidal crystal as a mask during the deposition of the WO3 shell. Compared to conformal, unstructured WO3 shells on Si microwires, the hierarchically structured core-shell photoanodes exhibited enhanced near-visible spectral response behavior, due to increased light absorption and reduced distances over which photogenerated carriers were collected. The use of structured substrates also improved the growth rate of microsphere-based colloidal crystals and suggests strategies for the use of colloidal materials in large-scale applications. |
Q:
Not able to understand terraform cyclic dependency
Can someone please help me to understand the cyclic dependency in this terraform graph.
Thanks in Advance,
A:
I got the solution myself.
Actually I have set create_before_destroy life cycle parameter to true only in instance and not to an dependent user_data.
After setting that property in template_file user_data as well the problem got resolved.
Thanks everyone for trying to help me.

In the art of making golf balls, it is desirable to achieve a cured rubber component that has a soft feel with maximum rebound. In particular, these properties are highly desirable at high frequencies, which can be observed by analyzing the viscoelastic properties of the cured components. For example, the elastic storage modulus, i.e., G′, is indicative of the rubber components hardness and is therefore preferably minimized, especially at higher frequencies. The hysteresis loss of the rubber component, i.e., tan δ, which is G″/G′, is indicative of the rebound characteristics of the rubber component. In other words, as the loss of energy due to heat is minimized, the available energy that can be returned as rebound is maximized.
Inasmuch as these desirable properties are inversely related to one another, there is a continued need to develop rubber compositions that give rise to cured components that demonstrate both low modulus and low hysteresis loss at higher frequencies. |
Q:
Is it possible to set up a subdomain and link to it from the main site?
I have a store hosted on big cartel which I want to set up as a subdomain on my website. Something like: http://store.mysite.com
Is it possible to do this somehow?
If so, how do links to the subdomain work? Would a link to store.mysite.com/product1.html be the same as externalsite.com/product1.html?
A:
You may certainly set up a subdomain for your website. To do so you need to:
Find out the IP address or host name that your host (big cartel) uses internally for the store.
In your DNS records for your domain create a record for store.mysite.com. If you have an IP address from your host, then make it an A record. If you have a host name, then make it a CNAME record.
Since only you can set up subdomains on your site, they are usually considered part of your site. So linking your store on a subdomain would be fine and not the same as an external link. In fact linking to your subdomain frequently will give search engines such as Google the confidence that the subdomain is really part of your site and not something that you set up for somebody else.

Isreal’s mistreatment of the Palestinians . How has Israel got away with it for so long? Well, the people of the world have the truth hidden from them by a very biased media. Check this out and learn the truth, then spread it widely http://preview.tinyurl.com/ctxd8pg
Palestinians wait to board a bus in Qalqiliya in the West Bank. Photograph: Getty Images
Unfortunately, the shock lies only in the act of making it semi-official. When Israeli media reported that the country is segregating buses in the West Bank, the only shift is that this looks like an approved form of the sort of petty apartheid that Israel has always denied practising. From this week, buses that are meant for Jewish settlers around the Palestinian town of Qalqiliya, in the occupied West Bank, will no longer take Palestinian passengers – the few that are granted work permits to enter Israel on a per-day only basis. This, we are ludicrously informed, is for the Palestinians’ own… |
The vast majority of practical programming languages used by programmers today are imperative (meaning that, for the most part, computations can have arbitrary side-effects and are not isolated). As a consequence, compilers are inhibited from applying optimizations that can achieve the best performance in the newest hardware. For example, a compiler may be inhibited from reordering operations, or arranging for pipelined or parallel execution when multiple processors are available since such rearrangement is invalid in the presence of arbitrary side-effects.
Many such programming languages are also object oriented (OO). A consequence of object orientation is that a call/return sequence (method call) executed at a particular program point can potentially invoke one of many different code bodies (methods) with different characteristics, making it even more difficult to determine what side-effects might occur.
There is a good reason why imperative OO languages are overwhelmingly more popular than functional and dataflow languages: many things that programs need to do are inherently imperative (side-effecting) and it is often difficult or even impossible to express an entire application in a strictly functional style. However, with such programming languages, it is difficult or impossible to express that portions of a program are intended to be side-effect free. Thus, there is no way for the programmer to cooperate with the compiler to achieve parallel or pipelined execution.
With current state of the art, classifying of methods into those that are pure functions, those that are stateful but isolated (receiving new information only as arguments and providing results only as return values), and those that have arbitrary side-effects is difficult and may be inefficient. For example, to do this directly (for instance, by adding a “pure” and or “isolated” keyword to the language) would lead to complicated and non-modular method checking. All of the method actions would need to be analyzed in context (i.e., what is it doing and what object is it doing it to). To ensure that a method is stateful but isolated is similarly difficult since one must enable one large class of accesses while disabling another large class which will break isolation. |

Qubit
A quantum bit or qubit (pronounced /ˈkjuːbɪt/) is a unit of quantum information. It is the quantum analogue of the classical bit. It is described by a state vector in a two-level quantum-mechanical system, which is formally equivalent to a two-dimensional vector space over the complex numbers. |

Quality Assurance and Radiation Safety at UMHS
The New York Times has published a series of articles about treatment errors that have occurred in radiation therapy. We want to take this opportunity to provide you with more information about the quality of our program at the University of Michigan.
Training
With respect to your caregivers, our personnel are licensed and/or credentialed professionals in all areas of our program. Our training programs for residents, medical physics residents, and therapists are accredited. All members of your treatment team participate in continuing education within our department and nationally to ensure that we provide you with the best care. A number of our faculty members are national and international leaders in the delivery of quality care for radiation therapy.
Treatment Plan Verification
To ensure quality treatments, we follow processes that include multiple review steps prior to and during delivery of your course of treatment. You are cared for by a team of physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dosimetrists, therapists, and physicists. After your CT simulation, a treatment plan is created following your physician’s requirements to provide you with the best care. After your physician has approved your treatment plan, a physicist reviews the plan prior to your first treatment. The review is performed to assess the quality of the plan and the integrity of the data transfer of the plan information to the software used for delivery of your plan at the treatment unit (linear accelerator).
For patients who receive intensity modulated radiation therapy, an additional step is required to verify the integrity of the treatment plan at the treatment unit prior to the first day of treatment. This verification is done at our institution by measurement of your full treatment plan. The results must be reviewed and approved by a physicist before treatment can begin. Prior to the delivery of each fraction, the therapists who care for you at the treatment unit verify your physician’s prescription, the plan information, and then the delivery of that plan. The therapists also use the cameras and intercoms to monitor you during treatment. During the course of your treatment, your progress through treatment is reviewed by your caregivers. This review includes weekly review of the treatment delivery and parameters related to your care.
A number of additional quality assurance steps are performed for patients receiving specialty procedures which include stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy programs performed on a linear accelerator. All treatment plans are developed by a team of physicians, dosimetrists, and physicists.
For stereotactic radiosurgery that involves the use of a head frame for precise positioning, the alignment of your treatment target is verified on the linear accelerator before your radiation treatment utilizing a complementary specialized frame that is positioned precisely for your treatment plan. A series of redundant checks is performed to ensure the accuracy of the treatment parameters, and the radiation dose to be delivered from each beam. The field shaping for each beam is also verified. The accuracy of the treatment setup is confirmed by the physics team and separately by the physician with x-ray imaging immediately prior to your treatment. During treatment, the physicist is present with the therapist. The physicist and the therapist compare all beam parameters with the treatment plan prior to the delivery of each beam.
For patients receiving stereotactic body radiation therapy, your treatment planning CT scan obtained earlier is transferred to the computers at the treatment unit, and used to help position you accurately for each treatment. In addition to the standard quality assurance steps performed for all treatments, the jaw positions and field shapes on the treatment machine are reviewed by a physicist in the treatment room prior to the start of your treatment course.
At the University of Michigan, our entire clinic is committed to constant vigilance regarding safe delivery of patient care.

The deeper south we drove on the Baja Peninsula, the more impressed we became with the beaches, people, and well, I'll be a little nerdy here, the memories and bonds that were forming. Yes, sometimes we felt we needed to be on our toes (even here, perhaps),but it's clear we have fallen cautiously in love with Baja. There is a little bit of mystery to Baja, some dirt and grime, and maybe a tiny bit of hesitation in some situations. Combine that though with the stunning landscapes, friends we're traveling with and meeting, and the incredible experiences we've had and you've got one of our favorite parts of our year "hitting pause". So join us as 'we hit Paz' (Chip's proud contribution to this blog post!) and drive further south where we discover stunning streches of beach, snorkel alongside the largest "fish" on the planet, and stumble upon new friends who help us discover the volunteer project we've been searching for all year!
We welcome you back to our best of the best in Baja! This is hands down my favorite section of the peninsula and you'll see why in a moment. To lure you in further highlights included freshly squeezed orange juice at our fingertips, a crescent-shaped bay where we slept (and played) at the ocean's edge, Mexican towns that left us begging to come back, and the most divine and flavorful fish tacos - oh heck, I'll just sum it up by saying the most divine and flavorful Mexican food we've ever consumed. Period. If your mouth isn't watering yet, I'll bet money it will be at some point during this post.
Many memorable experiences have happened because of this year-long trip. I often wonder if it weren’t for this "pause" that we're on, would we have even seen or experienced this much in our entire lifetime? There are definitely times that have reinforced the precise reasons for why we are taking this year together as a family. One moment that stands out is our remarkable boat trip through Ojo De Liebre, a lagoon that embraces thousands of gray whales each winter. I've reserved this post for them. This was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime, holy-crap-did-that-just-happen moment. Without further ado, here is our up close and personal day with the gray whales in Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur! |

Psychological and educational correlates of strabismus in school children.
The results of a study investigating the relationship of psychiatric and cognitive disorder with strabismus and its treatment in primary school aged children are reported. Results suggest that children with strabismus have a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorder, particularly an emotional disorder or psychosis. Subjects also had an increased risk of having educational problems and of exhibiting difficulties with tasks involving visual perception. Variables related to the nature and treatment of the strabismus did not appear influential in the development of the psychiatric disorder. Family disruption was significantly associated with both the presence of strabismus and emotional and behavioural problems in the children reported by parents and teachers. |

"Science Fiction" means—to us—everything found in the science fiction section of a bookstore, or at a science fiction convention, or amongst the winners of the Hugo awards given by the World Science Fiction Society. This includes the genres of science fiction (or sci-fi), fantasy, slipstream, alternative history, and even stories with lighter speculative elements. We hope you enjoy the broad range that SF has to offer.
The Pretty Woman Without Mercy
This is the second time Steve Mathes's fiction has appeared in Daily Science Fiction, and the second time where dogs have figured prominently in the story. He also has a story pending publication in Neo-opsis.
Knight would love to say that he went into the woods to be like Thoreau: to learn self-reliance, economy, solitude, all those noble things that noble people learn. No, he ran for it. He fled. His old mentor Pablo used to say that the thing that you run from the hardest is always the thing that circles around to get you. Knight ran into the woods to escape persecution because of his old age.
He ran for his life, and now he stumbled along a dark country road. He had many miles to go before he would be in the true wilderness, but it was already pretty bad here. Weeds sprouted through the cracks in the shattered pavement, and the screams of predators carried through the failing light. Grizzlies roamed these woods nowadays, not just the timid black bears of his youth. There were big cats, cougars, not only the spooky but small bobcats. There were coy-wolves bigger than timberwolves, huge packs of them. Worst, of course, were the feral humans like him.
People were allowed to live here, as long as they brought no technology, and built no permanent shelter. They were permitted to be animals.
When it got dark enough, his resolve to find a campsite wavered. There were houses still standing around here, still occupied. This was after the emergency conservation laws, but Knight had not reached the areas where forced demolition had erased civilization, where all human structures were, by law, razed.
Mosquitoes feasted on him. The stars came out, then got snuffed by thickening clouds. He began to trip over things, and he could follow the road only because he held out his hands, and crashed into trees when he got to the edge.
And then he saw a light in the distance.
"Maybe I should have left a trail of crumbs," he muttered.
He felt his face flush as his resolve to sleep outdoors failed. Going into the country had sounded so good, back when he was sitting in his Boston apartment. It had felt so hopeful in a desperate way. Now he felt alone, and loneliness made him reckless, out here beyond surveillance and data service. He would ask for shelter. The house was small, white, and classic New England.
She answered as soon as he knocked. In the bright light over her door she looked to be a fresh teenager, except for the worldly, adult eyes. Medicine could do miracles now, but there was always a certain look that the treatments couldn't touch. He could tell that she was old, maybe older than he was.
She blocked the door. She pointed an old-style revolver at his face. It was rusted, but all the little holes were filled with bullets.
"I can give you shelter, but I'd want a biopsy in return," she said.
No birds sang under the lowering sky, but across the road he heard something enormous breaking sticks in the undergrowth. Probably just a moose. Maybe. He flinched when an insect probed his neck. The sky had already started to spit rain. A biopsy? She wanted a biopsy?
"What kind of biopsy?" he asked.
"Just a small needle in your thigh. Not your neck."
He slapped his neck. She grinned, and it lit up her face. For an instant she made his breath hitch with her glowing features, her fresh smell, her shiny eyes. But then she locked those ancient eyes on him, while her tender youthful fingers flexed around the raised gun.
"Either the biopsy, or you go away," she said.
"Right," he said. "Biopsy it is."
She stepped aside in invitation. He noticed that she did not put down the revolver. However, he now noticed the two silent dogs, as well. They were huge, even for attack dogs. One of them tried to get out from under the table, and its back made the table lift. It got free, shook itself, and eyed him suspiciously.
"I'm still technically employed," he said. "I can pay, if you want money."
"Just the biopsy."
They were at the side door, which in classic New England style opened straight into her kitchen. She pointed to the general direction of a chair with her gun, and he found himself wondering whether this was an invitation or a command. On one level it didn't matter, because he had no choice except to sit. However, on another level, knowing the difference might mean knowing whether he was making a fatally bad decision.
He pulled his pack through the door. He sat. The dog that had come from under the table approached, and planted its nose in his lap, kept him seated by pure force of intimidation. The woman used the time to rummage around in her cabinets, which were filled with medical supplies. She put the gun on her counter, dug a syringe out of its sterile wrap, and came over.
"Stand up and pull down your pants," she said.
He stood. He hesitated, glanced at the gun, and pulled down his pants. He kept his boxers on.
"Now the boxers, and bend over the table."
"I thought you said my thigh," he said, taking another glance at the gun.
"My word is good, but pull down your boxers--all the way down to your ankles. Then put both elbows on the table. That way if you try anything, Jack here will have time to tear out your throat."
He did as he was told. Jack stood by, and did a full-contact sniff of his sphincter. While he flinched because of this, the needle stabbed into his leg. He gasped. His rebounding buttock whacked Jack's wet nose. Jack did not bite. The needle finally came back out.
"All done!" she said. "You can get dressed now."
"Not your average bed and breakfast," he muttered.
He had passed some kind of test with Jack. As he pulled up his pants, the huge dog circled around to his front, its tail wagging, its look expectant. He was not good with animals. Still, he understood that this was a time when politics required that he stroke its head. The other, still larger dog, who was curled in the corner, looked up in curiosity. As soon as he finished fastening his belt, he did the required petting of Jack. The other dog went back to sleep. Jack stuck by his side.
"So tell me about yourself," the woman said.
She had finished squirting the biopsy into various vials, and was busy sticking labels onto them. Knight noticed that her printer had identified him correctly. So much for being beyond the reach of data out here.
"From the looks of things," he said, "your system already did that. That's me on your display, all right."
She had two refrigerators. She opened the left one, and put all but one of the vials into a rack. There were hundreds of samples in there, maybe thousands. She then went to the right refrigerator. This one was filled with food. There was beer, too. She took out a beer, opened it, and put the bottle by his side. He did not sit, but he did pick up the beer. It tasted as good as it looked. He certainly needed a drink.
"People notice my age from my eyes," he said. "I get jostled on the street. I've been mugged twice, and the police have told me they can't do anything about it. One sergeant even told me I was a waste of good oxygen. I'll reach mandatory retirement this year, so now people will notice that I'm not even productive. I used to teach. My last regular paycheck comes in August. My life is effectively over."
"Or so it would seem," she laughed.
He distrusted the sound of that, but the look she gave him was one of commiseration.
Meanwhile, she had inserted the last vial into a machine. He had no way of knowing what the machine was for, but it was attached by wires to her data center.
"You have a data line?" he said. "Way out here?"
"It's a pirated connection," she said. "Wireless, not a line. They don't bother me, because they know I'll get demolished soon anyway. But the data from your biopsy is going in another direction."
"Another direction?" he said.
She smiled her shiny, pretty smile again. He understood this was his consolation prize, instead of an answer. It made him impatient. Here she was giving him shelter. He knew he needed to be patient, but she behaved too mysteriously. Patience had never been his virtue.
"Do you have a name?" he asked. "Am I overstepping if I ask? Is that too much information for me to have?"
She just smiled at him again. It failed to make him patient, but he did enjoy that smile.
"I don't need anything definitive," he said. "Hell. What's the problem? Just something I can call out to distinguish you from Jack, or the nameless dire wolf in the corner. Or even the mosquitoes. Just something to get your attention."
The nameless dog looked up at him. It seemed to react to his loudness in an unfriendly way.
"Call me Maeve."
"Thank you!" he said.
She smirked, in a condescending way. So he finally knew one dog and one person. Good enough, given that none of this would have anything to do with him in the morning. The last thing he could afford was to push his luck, now that he had shelter from the cougars and bears. Maybe it was safer, not knowing anything about her.
"Maeve? Can I ask your advice?" he said.
"If you think it'll do any good."
"Should I go out there into the woods? One bit of technology, anything beyond a bow and arrow, anything beyond a temporary hut, and the drones track you down, right? I'll die no matter what. Should I keep going?"
"Or what?" she asked. "Or go back to overpopulation? Go back to smog, and riots over scraps of hydroponic food? Go back to being hated because you're rich, cured of old age? Another one who will not die and get out of the way? If you go out with Mother Nature, you won't be hated. You'll only be forgotten."
She grinned again. She did her trick of brightening her eyes into pure youth, as she looked at him with something a little more than sympathy. They were two accomplished old people in early adolescent bodies, stuck on the edge of the wilderness, but he now knew that she could fake being young. She had those bright eyes. She could walk the city streets in safety.
She put a hand on his, and petted him like a dog. She got two beers out of the refrigerator, and sat down next to him. Jack went under the table and lay down heavy on his feet. Only the vague, throbbing memory of the needle in his thigh kept this from being the best moment of his life. He could sense trouble thickening around him, but he almost didn't care.
"What is there?" he asked. "What's the point of anything?"
"It's all here and now," she answered. "That's enough."
If she had kissed him, or tried any other funny stuff, perhaps he would have come to his senses. Instead, she fixed him a sandwich. Two beers and a stomach full of food melted into his exhaustion. When his eyes got heavy enough, she led him to a couch in the back shed.
"You can find your way out in the morning," she said.
He collapsed onto the couch. He wondered how long he would sleep. He felt a little too groggy, unnaturally so, and when he tried to get back up, he could not muster the will.
"Just one thing," he said. "Everything else seemed so respectable. Why did you take the biopsy?"
His words came out slurred. He expected nothing like an answer. All he really wanted was another consolation smile. Perhaps he was in love?
As if sensing this, she did not smile. This time she gave him an answer.
"We're building a genetic ark," she said.
"Ark?"
"Things are worse than we feared. Tomorrow, when you walk farther out, take a closer look at the leaves, the animals, the grass. Everything has begun to wither. Already there are no birds. Out here, you can sense the collapse. We built an ark to wait it out."
"An ark?" he repeated.
"Material for clones. If you live, you might meet your twin. But of course, you won't."
"You drugged me."
She pulled the revolver out of her belt, flourished it.
"For your own safety," she said. "We can't have this causing panic!"
She grinned, finally. She laughed at her own joke. Her eyes lit up the shed, looking for all the world like those of a pretty child--and with that he let himself sleep.
Whatever he was drugged with, it left a hangover. When he woke up, he felt empty, as though the syringe had sucked out his soul along with the biopsy cells. He felt vacant. It took him an hour or two to negotiate standing up. He tried the door into the main house. His surprise when it opened did nothing to make him perk up. He went into the kitchen. The bigger dog still lay curled in the corner, but there was something about it. He poked it with his boot. It was stiff, dead. He should have felt alarm, but he felt sadness.
The equipment was gone. After he had proven to himself that the refrigerators were both empty, he shouldered his pack and went outside. The pack was heavier than he remembered, or maybe he was too sapped from the drug. There was sunshine working its way through the haze. It would be hot today, very hot.
Of all his feelings, only his paranoia remained strong. As he walked, he felt like he was being followed. He trudged down the road, and more than once he looked behind. He cared too little to do it quickly, but he looked. Sometimes he thought he saw a flash of black fur slipping into the bushes. Mostly, he just saw a cracked and ruined and empty road.
He felt empty, but he was wiser.
He started looking for a safe place to camp as soon as the sun got low. There was no mistake. He had passed the empty foundations of razed houses for quite some time now. This was the far woods, the place where technology would get him killed. And he still felt something following.
He came to a large lake, and settled under a rocky overhang. He felt like one of the plastic cavemen in a museum diorama. All he needed was a spear. He opened the pack. His things were all there, but there was also some food. There was a single bottle of beer. There was a small bag of dog food.
"Dog food? No. I came here to die, not eat dog food."
He understood now. He was ready to die, but out here away from the muggers, it was death on his terms. Or at least mostly.
It had indeed become very hot. He was covered with grime and sweat, and wanted to take a swim. However, he was afraid. He decided he would wait until he got more familiar with his surroundings before he let down his guard enough for a swim. Funny how being ready to die and being afraid were completely separate.
He looked more carefully, and discovered that Maeve had been right. Not everything showed the sickness, but there were signs. Some of the trees had withered. It was something more than yellow leaves. There was a thick mat of dead fish washing against the rocks. Things smelled sweetly rotten, like perfumed excrement.
And then he heard the rustling.
Now that his paranoia had a basis in fact, it dissolved. He really did not care what happened. He found a stick, more out of gesture than from a genuine will to survive. He planned to die waving a stick. Too bad, he had not made the spear. The stick was partially rotted, not much of a weapon, but he hefted it, held it ready. He stepped out from under the overhang, and went toward the sound, toward his fate.
It was the dog. It was Jack.
It stood alert, poised, posed like a wolf, until he was in plain sight, and then it collapsed onto its stomach, whimpering. He felt the weight of the club. He made his decision, and tossed the stick to the side. It hit the lake with a splash. The dog sprang to its feet and approached. He went to his knees, ready for the fangs to tear into him, but all he got was tongue.
The dog's clumsy approach knocked him back, but the tongue kept working, its wet, rough surface scraping away at his neck and face. Knight could feed it later. Knight could die later, later when there was no love left. For now, the animal seemed to like the salt of his grime and sweat. It kept licking, and after a while it also tasted his tears.
A retelling of Keat's poem "La Belle Damme sans Merci" with the belle damme as Mother Nature was too tempting for me to resist. I was determined to avoid using a dog, but the ending needed a creature that lives halfway between civilization and the wild. I enjoyed writing this so much that I became nervous that I was blind to its faults. I held onto it for months before sending it out. |
WATCH: Australian Senator Egged By Teen After Statement on NZ Shooting Condemning Muslims
The Australian senator who reacted to the horrific New Zealand mosque terror attack with a statement decrying Muslim immigration got hit with an egg in the face.
Anning condemned the shooting, but said in his statement, “Whilst this kind of violent vigilantism can never be justified, what it highlights is the growing fear within our community, both in Australia and New Zealand, of the increasing Muslim presence.”
He even said that “while Muslims may have been the victims today, usually they are the perpetrators… The entire religion of Islam is simply the violent ideology of a sixth century despot masquerading as a religious leader.”
Anning was roundly condemned for his statement, and as he spoke to reporters afterwards, a teenager smashed an egg against Anning’s face. |

Fluorescent microscopy-based assays to study the role of Rab22a in clathrin-independent endocytosis.
The endocytic and trafficking route followed by proteins that enter cells independently of clathrin is not well understood. In HeLa cells, a distinct endocytic and recycling pathway is followed for such clathrin-independent cargo proteins, and we have characterized the role of Rab proteins in this process. Here we describe cell-based flourescence assays to examine the effects of expression and depletion of Rab22 on endosomal morphology and endocytic recycling. |
Q:
What types of IO does SQL trace display?
Are they physical or logical IOs? If they're logical, is there a way to break it out similar to STATISTICS IO for a production server?
A:
If you mouse over the column in the SQL Profiler you will see the definition:
"Number of Logical Disk Reads Performed...."
You can get physical IOs from perfmon and then merge the data together.
They would be under the process object. Be sure to pick the correct sqlservr process - not really sure how you figure that out - perhaps using sysinternals process explorer to see what .exe file is running. Then look at the process ID and figure out which one was started first. Not sure if lower numbers are released and a newer process could get a lower number.
You can merge the trace and the perfmon file inside the trace viewer. File > Import Performance Data.
Make sure you get the start time in your trace or I'm not sure it will work. You must also reopen the trace before the import option is available.

Q:
Negation of conjunctive quantified statement
Is the negation of:
$ x < y∧(∃z)[x < z < y] $
equal to:
$ x ≥ y \vee (∀z)[(x ≥ z) \vee (z ≥ y)] $
? I am confused on the negation of x < z < y
A:
$x<z<y $ is short for $x < z\land z < y$
hence, its negation is $ x \ge z \lor z \ge y$
So yes, you did everything corectly!

Breast-cancer-isation explored: Social experiences of gynaecological cancer in a Norwegian context.
This article's point of departure is recent claims that breast cancer survivorship displaying positivity and self-growth represents the gold standard for all forms of cancer survivorship in English-speaking Western cultures. An interview study of Norwegian women regarding gynaecological cancer followed by hysterectomy is used to explore whether this process is taking place beyond this setting. Results show that the women's experiences of having to display survivorship in this manner are not as notable as found in English-speaking Western countries, neither is their experience of social othering. Reasons for this may be strong norms of social egalitarianism marking Norwegian culture and breast cancer informational campaigns that have not yet totally defined Norwegian norms for how to survive cancer. At the clinic and in the public sphere, however, the women experience gynaecological cancer as clearly having lower status than breast cancer, leading to a strong sense that the bodily site of their disease is taboo. Hence, as found in English-speaking cultures, the complex embodied nature of having gynaecological cancer and life beyond treatment seems to be silenced by the media and medical institutions. Finally, implications for future research and health care related to cancer survivorship are also discussed. |

When Spore owners were silenced by forum moderation staff for posting one too many SecuROM/DRM complaints on the game's official message boards, the internet-going masses were worked up into a lather. "Censorship!" they cried. "Business practices to which I don't agree with!" they shouted. A vague warning about your Spore user account being banned in conjunction with your forum account likely didn't help matters, giving the impression that loose talk about copy protection could render your game useless. More responsible forum moderators tried to clear the air yesterday and EA itself let us know that the warning was completely out of line and, more importantly, totally inaccurate."These comments are absolutely not true or in-line with EA's moderation policy," an EA spokesperson told Kotaku. "They were made by an over-zealous community volunteer who does not work for EA." "Anyone who looks at the boards will clearly see that DRM and other issues are freely discussed on the Spore forums, alongside other topics about the game," a statement read. So have at it, kids. The finer points of anti-piracy schemes are up for discussion! Just be careful what you name your Spore creations. Spore Fans Threatened With Banhammer Over DRM Talk [Kotaku]

Tag Archives: GELATO
Italy’s gelato rivals plain ice cream for its bright colors, its incredible smoothness and its clean, clear, sparkling flavor! It takes its place in the chilled dessert family of ice creams, sherbets, sorbets, glaces, granitas, Italian ices, frozen custards and frozen yogurts.
Gelato is made from egg yolks, milk, water, or soy milk, some sugar plus fresh fruit, chocolate, nuts, small candies, sweets or specially crumbled cookies. Well-made gelato has more egg yolks, more milk, less cream than supermarket ice cream. This makes the gelato twice as heavy as ice cream and creamier. |
Sitting before William was a pile of tangled metallic wires and tubes, collecting dust and rust after months of sitting there untouched. One green eye was tied within the cords and it stared into nowhere. There was no movement coming from it, not even a twitch or the bare hint of life.
"I said I'd put you back together." he grumbled. "And I never did." William sighed. He shoved his hand into the mess and fumbled around for a switch within the crossbeams. His hand was stuck for a moment before he yanked it out, hitting the same switch he was looking for. The robotic mess jolted to life, sparking from a few points where its wires had run astray. With its one remaining eye it stared up at William for but a second, shaking as it struggled to mechanically pull itself up. Static flurried from the place where its mouth would be... And then it fell. It lay on the table, just as dead as it was just moments before. Groaning, William slammed his head on the table. Once. Twice. Three times. From there he grunted, picked himself up, and looked over to the other side of the room to find the same yellow chicken and purple bunny that he'd been with for months now. His gaze drifted to them, then the robotic mess on the table, then back again. "You two." The two robots turned to face William, both of them alert. "While I go run to Freddy's, Chica, you take care of.. this mess." he growled, grabbing the rusted keys to his car before spinning on his heel. "And, Bonnie, you're coming with me." The purple bunny stammered. "W-wait, what?!" "You don't have a choice. Get over here." The bunny's ears perked up halfway and he took a step back. "Do I have t-?" "Now!" The green rabbit howled, stomping over to the purple bunny. William then clamped his hand around the other rabbit's wrist and dragged it out of the room. ------------------------------------------ It was pitch-black outside. Nighttime had come as it did every day, and the only lights near the alley of Freddy Fazbear's were flickering golden streetlamps. Bolting out of the pizza place's doors was Fritz Smith, almost tearing the fabric of his coat as he fumbled to put it on. He turned left and tripped forwards, almost landing face first into the alley. As usual, William Afton stood in the alley next to his old car. The only other thing accompanying him was an old purple robot rabbit. "I can't do this anymore, goddamnit.." Fritz panted. "Another two kids are- they're fucking gone. God, I know this is rhetorical, but... do you have any clue why?" William was almost mumbling with how quiet he was, unusual for a man of his type. "You did exactly what you agreed to do, that's what." "What the hell did you make me do to them, then?" grumbled Fritz, trying to pick himself up. As he looked to William, he saw that the rabbit's expression had turned from the grimace of satisfaction to a cold, locked stare. "That's right, you made me- you made me kill them with those- the animatronics!"
The green rabbit scoffed. "Fritz, you fucking agreed to this. I'm not letting you go until this finishes." "I'm not doing this anymore, I told you!" Fritz was almost screaming by now, his face red with infuriation. William scowled and signaled for the other rabbit to stand beside him. "You better shut your mouth. There's consequences for disobeying me." Fritz was oblivious. He continued yelling straight into the unfazed William Afton's face for what could have been a straight minute until he was shoved back. The very next second, he found himself sprawled on the concrete with the purple bunny's hands locked around his wrists. "I told you, Fritz..." growled William, now towering over him, "to shut up." From the purple bunny's separated joints dripped a luminescent blue fluid. It hovered over Fritz's body and eventually settled over his lower left arm, which then began to sting. "What the..." As the stinging got worse, Fritz began to squirm. "What are you doing to me?!" "I'm letting Bonnie take care of you." William said nothing after that in response to Fritz's cries. He only looked on as the skin of Fritz's hand was replaced with coarse, brown hair and his fingernails grew into steel claws. At this point, Fritz was screaming, being held down by the heavy, inanimate body of the purple bunny. As the pain ebbed down, Fritz swore he could hear howling... no, that was screaming - in the distance, causing him to shiver. He saw William's expression turn back into that same revolting grin that faced wherever the screams had come from. The blue fluids from before were seeping back into the bunny for the most part. A few fragments stuck behind underneath each strand of fur on Fritz's arm. "Will you listen to me now, Fritz?" William chuckled as Bonnie let him stand up. Fritz did just that, not responding but only glaring at William with eyes full of disbelief and horror. Before he could muster to say anything, a purple fist whacked him on the side of his head and he crumpled onto the concrete once again, seeing nothing but darkness.

Separates.
I have recently been investing in and loving the look of separates. Don't get me wrong, I will forever be a lover of dresses and rompers, but there is something about the versatility of tops and bottoms mixed together. I love that I can take both of these pieces and create completely new outfits (perfect for all of my budget fashionistas out there).

Mechanics of active surfaces.
We derive a fully covariant theory of the mechanics of active surfaces. This theory provides a framework for the study of active biological or chemical processes at surfaces, such as the cell cortex, the mechanics of epithelial tissues, or reconstituted active systems on surfaces. We introduce forces and torques acting on a surface, and derive the associated force balance conditions. We show that surfaces with in-plane rotational symmetry can have broken up-down, chiral, or planar-chiral symmetry. We discuss the rate of entropy production in the surface and write linear constitutive relations that satisfy the Onsager relations. We show that the bending modulus, the spontaneous curvature, and the surface tension of a passive surface are renormalized by active terms. Finally, we identify active terms which are not found in a passive theory and discuss examples of shape instabilities that are related to active processes in the surface. |
Telomerase and cancer stem cells.
Telomerase is critical for the integrity of stem cell compartments. Mutations in telomerase components lead to telomere shortening and hematopoietic stem cell failure in autosomal dominant dyskeratosis congenita and aplastic anemia. Telomerase activity is readily detected in most cancers but not in adult somatic cells. The telomere hypothesis for cancer states that telomerase is reactivated in late stages of carcinogenesis. However, recent evidence has suggested a stem cell origin for certain cancers, implying that the genetic alterations that lead to cancer accumulate in tissue-specific stem cells and not in adult somatic cells. In these cancers, stem cells would already have telomerase and it would not need to be reactivated. Here, we reconsider the telomere hypothesis in view of this evidence and propose that, rather than telomerase reactivation, enzyme activity may increase in later stages of carcinogenesis due to increased expression or efficient assembly of telomerase components. Understanding these mechanisms will refine approaches to telomerase inhibition in cancer. |

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) aggressively investigate and litigate under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Any individual or company that engages in overseas business is a potential target under this liberally-interpreted law that penalizes the alleged bribery of foreign officials. Such activity often arises in conjunction with other alleged crimes, including white collar charges, RICO and COCCA charges, and Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering (BSA/AML) crimes.
The Eichner Law Firm has diverse experience in issues where the FCPA plays a role. Internationally, the firm has handled violations enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) involving illegal exports to foreign countries. Our firm not only handles responses to charges, but we also help individuals and companies avoid violations in the first place through our Internal Compliance Investigations practice area, helping clients implement appropriate anti-bribery and anti-corruption compliance policies, procedures, and controls.
The Eichner Law Firm is uniquely positioned to assist companies and individuals in responding to federal inquiries, examinations, and subpoenas. Our attorneys have built relationships with federal agencies, including the FBI, IRS, and SEC, and also have deep experience in pretrial negotiation, which can prevent a costly trial. Our investigators are not only skilled at comprehensive intelligence gathering, but we also boast David Riordon, a former special agent with the IRS tasked with specifically complex accounting irregularities. The Eichner Law Firm has the necessary team to handle any FCPA charge, including any other related criminal charges that may be brought. |

A greenhouse is a building where plants are grown under controlled micro environment. These structures range in size from small sheds to very large buildings.
A greenhouse is a structure with different types of covering materials, such as a glass or plastic roof and frequently glass or plastic walls; it heats up because incoming visible solar radiation (for which the glass is transparent) from the sun is absorbed by plants, soil, and other things inside the building. Air warmed by the heat from hot interior surfaces is retained in the building by the roof and wall.
Different Types of Greenhouse based on Structure
Lean to Greenhouse
A Lean to Greenhouse is appended to a home or building taking into account simpler access to utilities including power and water supply. One favorable position of a shelter nursery is that it is in closeness to your home and takes into consideration better observing of your plants. A burden of a shelter nursery is that daylight entrance is restricted.

Even Span Greenhouse
The even span greenhouse has even pitched sides like that of a house. Advantage of the even span greenhouse is that they are most normal and have notwithstanding separating. A disadvantage of even span greenhouse is that they have covering sheets which builds the possibility of spillage.
Quonset Greenhouse
A Quonset Greenhouse is vault molded and gives ideal sun entrance. Quonset greenhouses have ventilation frameworks, warming frameworks, dissemination fans, and better natural control. Leeway of the quonset greenhouse is that they function admirably on slopes and boosts warming from the sun. A weakness of the Quonset nursery is that they are costly need more help due to the uneven structure.

Ridge and Furrow Greenhouse
The Ridge and Furrow greenhouse is a jointed network of even traverse nurseries. This plan takes into account an expansion of room and daylight. A disadvantage of the Ridge and Furrow greenhouse would be that if water was not effectively depleted, harm could be caused. Likewise, shadows from drains could forbid daylight.
Barrel Vault Greenhouse
The barrel vault greenhouse comprises of a few quonset compose nurseries associated through canals. An advantage is that they can be worked with an edge vent which gives air flow all through. A disadvantage would be that they are hard to keep up.
Dutch Venlo Greenhouse
The dutch venlo greenhouse is adjustment of the edge and wrinkle nursery. High winter daylight is achieved effortlessly to develop certain harvests. An impediment of the Dutch Venlo nursery is that the exceptionally ventilated windows can enable chilly air to enter the nursery.

Oxidative stress and cerebrovascular dysfunction in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.
Several factors have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) but there is no definite conclusion as to the main pathogenic agents. Mutations in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) that lead to increased production of amyloid beta peptide (A beta) are associated with the early-onset, familial forms of AD. However, in addition to ageing, the most common risk factors for the sporadic, prevalent form of AD are hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, ischaemic stroke, the ApoE4 allele and diabetes, all characterized by a vascular pathology. In AD, the vascular pathology includes accumulation of A beta in the vessel wall, vascular fibrosis, and other ultrastructural changes in constituent endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Moreover, the ensuing chronic cerebral hypoperfusion has been proposed as a determinant factor in the accompanying cognitive deficits. In transgenic mice that overexpress mutated forms of the human APP (APP mice), the increased production of A beta results in vascular oxidative stress and loss of vasodilatory function. The culprit molecule, superoxide, triggers the synthesis of other reactive oxygen species and the sequestration of nitric oxide (NO), thus impairing resting cerebrovascular tone and NO-dependent dilatations. The A beta-induced cerebrovascular dysfunction can be completely abrogated in aged APP mice with antioxidant therapy. In contrast, in mice that overproduce an active form of the cytokine transforming growth factor-beta1 and recapitulate the vascular structural changes seen in AD, antioxidants have no beneficial effect on the accompanying cerebrovascular deficits. This review discusses the beneficial role and limitations of antioxidant therapy in AD cerebrovascular pathology. |
Branhamella keratoconjunctivitis.
A young male complained of monocular diplopia for over a year. Ophthalmic evaluation revealed gross corneal pannus in both eyes and clinical findings precipitated treatment for chronic chlamydial eye disease. The definitive pathogen isolated from both eyes was Branhamella catarrhalis. A cause of otitis media, sinusitis, and lower respiratory infections, Branhamella is a rare, opportunistic ocular pathogen which may be associated with meibomian gland dysfunction. |
Q:
Advanced Custom Fields - Google Map Won't Render Unless Variable Dumped
I'm trying to display the Google Map object created using the Advanced Custom Field plugin's built-in generator.
I used the stock Javascript/CSS/PHP outlined here as this exactly matches my use case: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/google-map/
Only problem: The jQuery script seems unable to find the lat/lng html attributes unless the php variable is dumped or echoed in some way.
<div class="map">
<?php
$location = get_field('location');
var_dump($location); <-- Why is this necessary?
?>
<div class="acf-map">
<div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo $location['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['lng']; ?>"></div>
</div>
</div>
My knowledge of PHP is clearly inadequate to understand why this might be the case. The Javascript is being included in an inline script tag within the PHP file itself.
A:
Try this code:
<div class="map">
<?php
global $post;
$location = get_field('location', $post->ID);
?>
<div class="acf-map">
<div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo $location['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['lng']; ?>"></div>
</div>
</div>
Sometimes in the template you're loading this you don't have the post that the field belongs to, so you can try to fetch it in the global $post variable.

WHITE STRIPES
Take, Take, Take Lyrics
I was sitting there in a comfortable chair
And that was all that I needed
Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share
And that was all that I needed
Well, then I felt at ease
But then I'm not too hard to please
I guess you couldn't call me greedy
Then I was shocked to look up
And see rita hayworth there in a place so seedy
She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair
And that was all that I needed
And I said to my friend, "good god, we're lucky men just to even see her"
Take, take, take
Take, take, take
Take, take, take
And I could not resist, I just had to get close to her
And that was all that I needed
I walked and loomed around her table for a while
And that was all that I needed
Then I said, "i hate to bug you, ma'am, but can I have your autograph?"
And that was all that I needed
She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper
And that was all that I needed
Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth
And that was all that I needed
Then she handed it to me, and I think that she could see
That that was all that I needed
I started to walk away but then I remembered 'hey, I forgot to get a picture'
So I asked her one more time, "could I have another favor?"
That was all that I needed
She was kind and posed with me
Then I knew my friend would see my celebrity meeting
Take, take, take
Take, take, take
Take, take, take
She turned and said to me, "I need to go to sleep,"
And it seemed so mean
It's almost as if she could not appreciate how cool I was being
She said, "good night" and walked away
And I didn't know what to say
I just couldn't believe it
Well, it's just not fair
I want to get a piece of hair
That was all that I needed
Or maybe a kiss on the cheek
I wouldn't wash it for a week
That would be all that I needed
But she didn't even care
That I was even there
What a horrible feeling |
Generally, a gate driver circuit of a display panel uses a N-type thin film transistor (TFT). In order to ensure that a thin film transistor of a pixel on a scan line (a gate line) is continuously turned off, a gate driver circuit needs to maintain a voltage of the scan lines (a gate voltage of the thin film transistor) at a low level. In a gate driver circuit, a pull-down circuit for providing the low level needs to be continuously turned on, which results in a continuing bias voltage for the thin film transistor. Under the operating condition of the continuing bias voltage in high voltage, the thin film transistor may generate a characteristic variation (e.g., a characteristic degradation and/or a threshold voltage variation). The characteristic degradation of the thin film transistor may reduce a working life thereof, whereas a threshold voltage Vth variation of the gate driver circuit may affect a reliability of the gate driver circuit.
Take a push-pull output circuit for example, in the circumstance where a push-pull output signal of the driver circuit are to be maintained at a low logic level, a bias voltage of a pull-down transistor (e.g., a N-type transistor) of a pull-push output circuit in the driver circuit are maintained at a high logic level. Because the pull-down transistor for providing a low output level are continuously applied by high voltage, a characteristic variation (a characteristic degradation and/or a threshold voltage variation) may occur on a transistor characteristic thereof.
In order to solve aforesaid problem, a plurality of pull-down circuits/devices are utilized in some embodiments, so as to reduce a duty cycle of the pull-down circuits/devices. However, with extension of operating time, the threshold voltage variation may still occur on the pull-down circuits/devices. Furthermore, a process variation may occur during a manufacturing process of the driver circuit. The process variation may change a characteristic of the transistor (e.g., variation may occur on the threshold voltage of the transistor). It is an issue to be solved as how to improve the reliability of the driver circuit while effectively reducing influences caused by the device variation of the threshold voltage. |

Chino Hills Fitness
Chino Hills fitness requires you to focus your efforts on two areas: diet and exercise. According to diet expert Isabela De Los Rios, “The best diet to follow is to follow NO diet at all.” She says people tend to have trouble losing weight because they try to subscribe to a strict routine that is not enjoyable at all, which leads them to inevitably fail. Instead, people hoping to get fit need to find a system that works for them – where their hunger is satiated and their taste buds are still intrigued.
Healthy eating for life doesn’t have to be all cottage cheese and grapefruits. You can eat healthy by having scrambled eggs in butter with peppers and onions on a slice of whole grain bread, for example. You can have a juicy lean hamburger for lunch or a homemade pizza for dinner. Chino Hills fitness is often a matter of modifying unhealthy choices into healthier ones through simple decisions – light salad dressing rather than full fat, olive oil instead of butter, water instead of soda, turkey sausage instead of pork sausage. You’ll see BIG results just by changing a few of your habits each week.
It’s a common mistake for people to think, “Hey, if I just spielautomaten EAT LESS, I will lose weight!” While weight loss is partially a matter of eating fewer calories, your body still needs a certain amount of calories to function properly. If you’re often feeling hungry, then that means your blood glucose levels have crashed – and that is not good! When your blood glucose spikes and crashes, it makes your whole metabolism go haywire and you may even end up storing more fat because your body is going into starvation mode. The best way to operate is to munch all day long. Eat nuts, fresh fruits, vegetables and healthy snacks to keep your body operating at peak performance. If you’re going to a Chino Hills fitness club, you’ve got to eat lots of lean protein and maintain enough calories to replenish your body.
Now when it comes to the gym, you need a Chino Hills fitness routine you can stick to. People who are really serious about getting fit often hire a trainer who keeps them motivated, interested and on-track. Trainers will assess your capabilities and design a custom program for your objectives and fitness level. They’ll show you how to use all the machines at the gym to get the most out of your workouts. They’ll also teach you about choosing the right foods to power up and recuperate effectively. A little bit of effort now will help you achieve the life-long fitness you desire. |
Q:
Using buttons in MVC3
In my view I am using buttons like this
<button style=" color:White; height:30px; width:100px; background-image: url('@Url.Content("~/Content/Images/RedButton.gif")');" name="button" value="Add" type="submit">Add</button>
<button style=" color:White; height:30px; width:100px; background-image: url('@Url.Content("~/Content/Images/RedButton.gif")');" name="button" value="Save" type="submit">Save</button>
<button style=" color:White; height:30px; width:100px; background-image: url('@Url.Content("~/Content/Images/RedButton.gif")');" name="button" value="Cancel" type="submit">Cancel</button>
and handling them in the controller like this
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(BuildRegionModel model, string button)
{
if (button == "Add")
{
}
if (button == "Save")
{
}
if (button == "Cancel")
{
}
return View(model);
}
Is there a way that I can do something like this
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:location.href='@Url.Action("", "")'" class="RedButton">Add</a>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:location.href='@Url.Action("", "")'" class="RedButton">Save</a>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:location.href='@Url.Action("Home", "Index")'" class="RedButton">Cancel</a>
A:
Submitting forms should be done with submit buttons. That's the semantically correct way. That's how forms should be submitted according to the HTML specification.
Anchors should not be used for posting and submitting forms. They are used to redirect and issue GET requests. An anchor cannot submit a form. You will have to write javascript and fake a form submission when it is clicked so that all form fields are sent.
Don't do it, I wouldn't recommend it.
For example things like pressing enter while the focus is inside a textfield will no longer work and you will have to write additional javascript to handle this case to which all internet users are accustomed to. It is a nightmare. The way you did it initially with submit buttons is perfect.

Whether or not you agree with the idea of R2P, it should be noted that at the conclusion of her War of the Gods with Ares, Diana chose not to intervene in further wars between men, and instead decided her best option was to love humanity from behind the scenes. She only emerged again to fight the extraterrestrial menace of the Kryptonian, Doomsday, in Batman vs Superman, a century later. So the critique of this article has missed the entire upshot of the film, which largely agrees with the author. |
Q:
Parameters are supposed to be distinct within a set of independent but not identically distributed random variables?
I'm confused here with one thing: If $(X_1,...,X_n)$ is not idenctically distributed, then doesn't this mean that the $\theta$'s are supposed to have subscripts $i$ in the pdf given above? I mean the $\theta$'s are not the same. Am I correct or?
A:
The $\theta's$ are the same, but the $c_i's$ are not. The fact that each $X_i$ has its own $c_i$ is what makes the distributions not (necessarily) identical.

Shortages of everything, and worries about relatives, for Mozambique flood survivors
At a camp near the city of Beira for people rescued from Mozambique’s catastrophic flooding, residents were dealing on Friday with worries about their future and shortages of pretty much everything – water, food and medicines. |
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) defines how data is transferred between sending and receiving devices through a network. To enable transmission of data from a sending device, a receiving device communicates an “advertised window” of memory capacity that sets an upper limit on the amount of data the sending device can send without receiving acknowledgement from the receiving device. The term “buffer” is often used to refer to some standard quantity of memory and the advertised window may communicate a number of buffers that have been allocated to the sending device and thus are available at the receiving device.
The sending device tracks how many “buffers” of data that the sending device has sent and will cease sending data when the sending device has sent data equivalent to the number of buffers in the advertised window. As the receiving device receives data from the sending device, it acknowledges receipt of the data and may communicate an additional quantity of buffers (e.g., a new advertised window) that have been allocated to the sending device. The sending device can then send data enough to fill the new advertised window. Thus, in TCP communication, the advertised window communicated to a sending device by a receiving device controls the flow of data from the sending device to the receiving device. |
