Consumer Decisions Chutes and Ladders Board Game
This is a game to practice Consumer Decisions vocabulary. This version of English Chutes and Ladders is played like a regular board game except students begin at the bottom of the game and move upwards. If a student lands on a space with a ladder they may climb up to the space where the ladder ends. If they land on a Chute they must slide down to the space where the chute ends. As students move around the board they will fill in the blanks, use photos or written prompts to practice the target language. If students give the correct answer they can remain on their spot until their next turn. If students give the incorrect answer they must go back to their previous spot and wait until their next turn to try again (note: going back for a wrong answer does not apply to chutes).

ben yosef is a strange figuire, not alot is known about him. it his is soul brother, the ben david who is the superman warrior king.
but you are only looking at the messiah in the simplistic way, there are many ways, much more deeper than plain reading to know the torah and tanach.
even before his actuall coming, there will be a conciousness shift which can be attributed to the messiah himself, this shift is a part of him, and not an outside deed of him. we are witnessing this shift right now.
its too much to explain now, but the bad guys or reps, cant create thier farm, or everything to that matter, in they way they want, they must follow a specific structure pattern, a pattern laid down by the G-d outside of the everthing. they cannot change the pattern. no1 can.this pattern includes an israel in every level of it, as above so below, israel exists here, above us, and below us.
they hate israel, they hate the jew,s (we serve israel, not the other way around)
the workers of satans, make you thing jew,s intend for you to be our slaves. but that is a lie, the true future for jew,s is to be the teachers of torah and its code to gentiles, not slave masters.
the whole international community is working so hard, to destroy israel, and extinct the jew,s. they have failed so many times in the past. they know this, but they purposeley blind themselvs from truth

Whatcha going to do, DPS, when your Messiah finally comes and it's the same old Jesus Christ, back again?? |

Q:
Coffescript html5 canvas library
What is the best CoffeeScript canvas library available? I have found a topic descibing Javascript libraries (like paper.js, fabric.js or kinetic.js) but they are all written in JavasScript and theoretically could be used with CoffeeScript but practically it could be hard.
So is there any advanced canvas library written in "pure" CoffeeScript, or is it suitable and easy to use one of those available for JavaScript?
A:
Actually, using coffeescript with javascript libraries is not hard. The best libraries will always be in javascript, as this is the most compatible format.
Personally, I write in coffeescript, and then include the javascript libraries normally. When I have examples or code snippets in javascript, I convert them at http://js2coffee.org. Theoretically you could convert the libraries over, but there is no need for this.
I keep my coffeescript in a separate folder, and then use a script to easily compile them for testing - on OSX, the script looks something like:
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/usr/local/bin
export NODE_PATH=usr/local/lib/node_modules
/usr/local/bin/coffee --compile --output ../media/js/ ../coffee/*.coffee

Q:
How to open a cloned wiki folder?
I recently cloned the libGDX wiki from https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki and I got a libgdx.wiki folder with all the content in it. My question is how do I read/open it?
Already tried using Firefox's wiki reader plug-in but it seems like that is for files and not folders.
Thanks!
A:
The GitHub wiki system is implemented with Gollum, which can be run locally to parse the Markdown files in libgdx.wiki and link them up as a wiki beyond just renering the .md - check out this link for more info:

Q:
How do I get to the new area(s) in the Prepare to Die edition?
I originally played through Dark Souls on the PS3 and now am playing the Prepare to Die edition on the PC. I've gotten to the point where all I have left to do is kill Lord Gwyn, but I haven't stumbled upon any of the new areas.
What are the new areas, and how do I get to them?
A:
In the are you kill the Hydra in Darkroot Basin, where the golden golem was, you will find a portal to the new area.
To reach this area you will need to kill a new, special Crystal Golem that appears in the first populated room of The Duke's Archives, it will drop a Broken Pendant.
With that pendant, and after killing the gollem and saving Dusk of Oolacile (the lady that sells magic) a portal will appear in the place the lady was.

Q:
Display Alert Message from viewDidLoad
I want to display a alert message from viewDidLoad() method of ViewController.m instead from viewDidAppear() method.
Here is my code :
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
//A SIMPLE ALERT DIALOG
UIAlertController *alert = [UIAlertController
alertControllerWithTitle:@"My Title"
message:@"Enter User Credentials"
preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
UIAlertAction *cancelAction = [UIAlertAction
actionWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Cancel", @"Cancel action")
style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel
handler:^(UIAlertAction *action)
{
NSLog(@"Cancel action");
}];
UIAlertAction *okAction = [UIAlertAction
actionWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"OK", @"OK action")
style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
handler:^(UIAlertAction *action)
{
NSLog(@"OK action");
}];
[alert addAction:cancelAction];
[alert addAction:okAction];
[self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
}
and I am getting this error:
Warning: Attempt to present <UIAlertController: 0x7fbc58448960> on <ViewController: 0x7fbc585a09d0> whose view is not in the window hierarchy!
A:
OK not a bug, the issue is that in viewDidLoad the view hierarchy is not fully set. If you use viewDidAppear, then the hierarchy is set.
If you really want to call this alert in viewDidLoad you can do so by wrapping your presentation call in this GCD block to cause a slight delay, waiting for the next run loop, however I suggest you don't (it's ugly).
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^ {
[self presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil];
});

President Donald Trump is set to give his first primetime Oval Office speech tonight, and while we don’t know exactly what he plans to say, we do know that it will be a plea to build is dumb wall, or barrier, or steel slats, or whatever backtrack-y word he’s using this week. It’s also been reported that the speech is being authored by none other than the administration’s top white nationalist, Stephen Miller, which means we should probably expect it to be full of racist innuendo.
But according to the Wall Street Journal, the rest of Trump’s White House staff has an innovative new strategy they’re trying out tonight: Attempting to make sure Trump doesn’t lie through his teeth.
Per the Journal:
In preparation for Tuesday’s speech inside the West Wing, White House officials were underscoring the importance of internally fact-checking any numbers and statistics. “It’s really important we get this right,” one senior White House official said.
Still, the fact that the White House seems to recognize that they actually have to, y’know, get their information correct before the president gets on national TV and runs his mouth is nothing if not a tacit admission that getting things right is out of the ordinary for them. And admitting fault is the first step to recovery, right? |
Oh wow. What a composition: the dots (dog, skirt AND the fire hose connections….well spotted, no?), the colors (green and red dashes with the mud of the skirt and shoes), and just the whole situation. Bravo.
What a beautiful picture! I love how she’s dressed, I love the dog, but most of all I love the background – the intensity of the colors with the white wall and her neutral colors say everything, and the dog fits in perfectly too! |

Why do nurses sometimes ask the wrong questions?
The recent high-profile case of Kane Gorny highlighted a number of systemic and individual failures that led to his death by dehydration in a hospital bed. This article asks how it happened and presents some psychological, "human" aspects that may have contributed to the tragic outcome. In looking for ways to prevent this happening again, the author suggests that nurses should first understand and accept their own psychological prejudices that may cause them to make the wrong choices or fail to ask the right questions. Reflective practice can help with this issue and perhaps offers the only route to change our own practice and ultimately the healthcare system as a whole. |

Couple of thoughts/observations:
- Erlang has a vm, so that would avoid building a vm.
On the downside, erlang is not pure: the message-passing and the io:
commands imply the possibility of side-effects.
Still, it could be good enough for a proof-of-concept?
- implementation as a library function?
Instead of building/modifying a vm to re-implement how map works,
perhaps an easy way of doing this would be to create a new map
function (dpmap? (=Dynamic parallel map), which chats to a scheduler
process, which decides whether to split the map or not.
Downside: constant overhead for all maps, even really small ones that
would otherwise run really fast, and will ultimately be assigned only
a single process anyway.
(note: using erlang terminology here, where "process" means
essentially "thread").
Of course, even modifying the vm to parallelize maps etc would have a
constant overhead, but possibly the overhead could be much smaller if
implemented directly in a vm?
Possibly an approach could be:
- impliment as a new dpmap library function
- someone could optimize this in a vm later |

George Clooney arrested at Sudan protest
MUST WATCH
Story highlights
John Avlon: George Clooney, arrested at Friday protest, draws spotlight to Sudan
He says world looks away, so Clooney backs satellite surveillance initiative over Sudan
He says this strategy allows anyone with computer to bear witness to troop movements, attacks
Avlon: Clooney sets example of how we should all be holding brutal dictatorship accountable
The slaughter of civilians in Sudan goes on with too little attention.
But when George Clooney gets involved, the world takes notice. And that's at least a step in the right direction.
Clooney brought the media spotlight with him Friday, as he protested outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington and was arrested alongside his father, longtime newsman Nick Clooney.
On Wednesday morning there were crowds lining the hallways of the Russell Senate Building, a reception more suited to a movie star than a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
John P. Avlon
Inside the packed wood-paneled committee room, Clooney testified about his most recent trip into the remote Nuba Mountain region of Sudan with Enough Project co-founder John Prendergast, where they found themselves in a rocket attack and brought home harrowing footage of children freshly mangled by rockets and bombs pushed out of airplanes.
The president of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, who has been indicted as a war criminal by the International Criminal Court, and defense minister Abdelrahim Mohamed Hussein are repeating a cycle of ethnic cleansing they infamously perpetrated in Darfur a half-decade ago. "They are proving themselves to be the greatest war criminals of this century by far," Clooney testified.
In a perfect world, the sight of a government slaughtering its own people would provoke enough outrage and attention. But this is not a perfect world, and when atrocities occur outside camera range it is difficult to get the world to care about the slaughter of their fellow human beings.
That's why Clooney envisioned the Satellite Sentinel Project, administered by the DigitalGlobe and the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, which uses satellite surveillance technology to pierce the isolation of the Islamist nation. This allows anyone with a computer to be a witness to troop movements, while providing evidence of attacks and burnt villages. "We are the anti-genocide paparazzi," Clooney is fond of saying. The effect is a powerful role reversal -- dictators can no longer hide in the dark.
It is difficult to keep people in the Western world engaged in the ongoing slaughters in Syria and the civil war in Somalia, let alone those in the isolated mountain region of Sudan. But state-sponsored murderers bet on our short attention span and lack of follow-through. They know the cameras will eventually go away and then they believe they can go back to killing with impunity.
That's why Clooney's sustained focus on Sudan -- and his strategic self-deployment at carefully timed intervals -- has helped keep both light and heat on the Islamist government in Khartoum. When I traveled to what is now the Republic of Southern Sudan with Clooney a year ago for Newsweek to witness a successful independence referendum, Valentino Achak Deng -- the former "lost boy" known to Americans as the subject of a "fictionalized memoir" by Dave Eggers, "What Is the What"-- told me that Clooney's involvement in Sudan "saved millions of lives" by drawing the world's attention to the region and reducing the chance of another north-south civil war.
Clooney is the first to admit that his star power can only help illuminate the problem; it takes policy makers and political leaders to make direct changes that can save lives by stopping a conflict from escalating. What's equally clear is that Clooney can serve as a "gateway drug" into these issues, provoking more people to care and inspiring a new generation to help stop suffering half a world away.
Clooney is trying to use his celebrity to get us to care about something more important than celebrity, an important wake-up call.
But then it is up to each of us to take the next step and focus on humanitarian crises where they occur. We must add our own small wattage to the spotlight of international attention and assure the victims of state-sponsored violence that they will not be ignored, while sending murderous dictators the message that they have no place to hide in the 21st century. |

Here is a confession: Until recently, I'd never had the classic marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole. Sure, we had sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving but they were roasted and not marshmallow topped.
Apparently the sweet potato fairy decided that I needed to try this dish. So I looked up some recipes. Most of the recipes I found started with a can of candied yams. To that, they added copious amounts of sugar or coca cola/ginger ale and, of course, marshmallows. I know that this is classically a really sweet side dish. However, for my tastes, the recipes I found looked a bit too sweet. I decided that I wanted to honor this dish but make it without using a canned sweet potatoes, soda or a ton of sugar. . . .
I love cranberry sauce. This year I thought it would be fun to combine the fantastic flavor of pomegranates and cranberries. You only need four ingredients to make this cranberry sauce. The subtle flavor of the pomegranate juice adds a lovely depth to the sauce. If you are looking for a slightly new twist on a classic Thanksgiving dish, this is a fun recipe to try! . . .
I know pie baking can intimidate people. For Thanksgiving, I wanted to create a recipe that used a crumb crust and was so delicious that everyone (even your gluten-eating relatives) would be clamoring for the recipe.
Well, my pumpkin cheesecake pie fits the bill. Not only is it easy to make, it is insanely delicious. For the crust, I use store bought gluten-free gingersnaps. (Of course, you could use homemade gingersnaps, I will leave that up to you!) The crust is then filled with a silky-smooth pumpkin cream cheese filling. Even after a big holiday meal, people will be asking for seconds of this pie! . . .
I love biscuits. Flaky biscuits. Buttermilk biscuits. Yeast-raised biscuits. There is just something wonderful about a bowl of warm biscuits covered with a tea-towel.
This recipe makes exceptionally wonderful biscuits. Now, they aren't "flaky" biscuits. These biscuits are sometimes known as "Baking Powder Biscuits". The outside texture is crunchy while the inside is soft and full of air bubbles.
I hope you can help me. Every year for Thanksgiving, our neighbor, Miss April, brings us a pan of cornbread. The thing is, her cornbread isn't like "normal" cornbread. It isn't dry and crumbly or moist and cakey. Miss April's cornbread is almost eggy. I've never had anything like it! Calling it cornbread seems wrong but since that is what Miss April calls it, that is what I call it.
Now that I am gluten-free, I will have to watch everyone dig into this treat. Miss April was nice enough to give me a copy of the recipe to send to you. Would you please convert this beloved favorite? That way I can make up a batch and eat along with my family.
Holiday Cookie: Gingerbread Boys (NEW) This gingerbread recipe was requested by Anna S. of Mount Clemens. MI. It typifies what I love about baking! This gingerbread cookie recipe is wildly different from my original gingerbread cookie recipe! Where mine is firm and full of molasses, this recipe is buttery and sweet with a nice aroma of spices! I love that in baking you can have almost endless variations of a recipe! And, to be honest, I both of the recipes! Anna's is really a tasty delight and is the only gingerbread cookie I will be making this year. . . . keep reading
Holiday Cookie: Gluten-Free Sables
Slice and bake cookies are not a new baking idea. Rather, the French have been doing it forever with their classic Sables. These tender, delicate cookies are easy to make and taste of butter and vanilla. Before baking, the dough log is coated with coarse granulated sugar, giving the cookies a wonderful sugar-ary crunch. Of course, you can use plain, white coarse sugar. Or you can use colored sugar to celebrate the season.
Apple Cranberry Crisp Recipe I love this apple crisp so much! Honestly, if you can peel an apple, you can make this crisp. The addition of the cranberries gives the sweet crisp a nice "pucker-y" burst of tartness. |
Aging research: current and future.
The key events that lead to organismic senescence appear to occur in cells that have been genetically programmed to arrest their own proliferation. After arrest, a variety of subcellular events occur, among the more important of which are the accumulation of waste product pigments, an increase in the fraction of inactive enzymes, and (probably of central importance) the loss of key genes, specifically those that code for rRNA. An understanding of the senescence of the epidermis and dermis would almost certainly provide answers to related problems in those organ systems whose sudden or slow failure leads to individual death. |
The embodiment relates to a spindle motor and a clamping apparatus.
The spindle motor is applied to various electronic devices. The spindle motor has a main function of rotating an optical disc to record data on the optical disc or read the data recorded from the optical disc.
The spindle motor is provided with a clamping apparatus for supporting the optical disc. |
Q:
Python convention for separating files
Im not positive on the terminology here, so that may explain why searching on my own yielded no results.
I was just curious if there is a widely accepted, general method to writing a module in python. Obviosuly people prefer splitting things into segmented .py scripts, importing when needed, and packing it all into a folder.
What I want to know: Is there a general method to how/when/why we stop writing things together in one .py and begin a new one (And i mean other than obvious things like... one script .py for the main job, and then a preferences.py to handle reading/writing prefs)
A:
You should split your code into multiple modules when it begins to be unwieldy to keep it all in one module. This is to some extent a matter of taste. Note that it may unwieldy for the code author (i.e., file is too big to navigate easily) or for the user of the library (e.g., too many unrelated functions/classes jammed together in the same namespace, hard to keep track of them).

Human cutaneous dendritic cells express two glycoproteins T6 and M241 which are biochemically identical to those found on cortical thymocytes.
Monoclonal antibodies anti-T6 and anti-M241 define unique cell populations within different lineages: cortical thymocytes and dendritic cells in the skin. T6 positive cutaneous dendritic cells are located predominantly in the epidermis and belong to the Langerhans/indeterminate lineage, whereas, most of the M241 positive cells are located in the perivascular regions of the dermis. Biochemical analysis of thymocytes and cutaneous dendritic cells was performed in order to determine whether the reactivity of these antibodies with these cell types is due to sharing of antigenic determinants by two unrelated proteins, or whether similar proteins are present on cells of different lineages. Our results indicate that T6 antigens are borne by the same glycoprotein (49K) on cortical thymocytes and Langerhans/indeterminate cells. Similarly, M241 antigens isolated from thymocytes and cutaneous dendritic cells are found on the same glycoprotein (43K). |

Plane gratings for high-resolution grazing-incidence monochromators: holographic grating versus mechanically ruled varied-line-spacing grating.
Comparative studies have been made on the holographic plane grating and the ruled varied-line-spacing (VLS) plane grating designed for two kinds of objective Monk-Gillieson type high-resolution grazing incidence monochromator, I and II. The ray-traced performance of monochromator types I and II on a synchrotron radiation beam line was evaluated in terms of resolving power and spectral purity by the introduction of new concepts of effective Gaussian line and purity profiles. The resolving power defined on the basis of the effective Gaussian profile is consistent with the spectral purity of the beam emerging from the exit slit and is more realistic as compared with those defined in the conventional manner, especially when spectral images have asymmetric profiles. It is concluded that holographic plane gratings recorded with a spherical and an aspheric wave front are capable of providing high resolution with high spectral purity and are fully interchangeable with the corresponding ruled VLS plane gratings. This interchangeability provides more flexibility for users in choosing a proper grating for a high-resolution grazing incidence monochromator of the Monk-Gillieson type. |

In conventional solvent refined coal reactors, the amount of completion of the reaction in the reactor for desulfurization and hydrogenation is limited because the reactor is backmixed. If attempts are made to rectify this problem by subdividing the reactor into compartments, the temperature rise in each compartment becomes excessive because the reaction in each compartment is highly exothermic. To prevent the reaction from running away, some means must be provided to control the reaction. A need has, therefore, arisen for providing this control so that the reaction can be carried out in a more efficient manner than has been available up to the present time. |
A number of businesses offer their customers customer support via the telephone. Often, the customer service agents are busy so the business places the customer's telephone on hold and places the customer's request for service in a queue from where such requests are retrieved as customer service agents become available. Once retrieved, the customer's phone is taken off hold and the customer is able to talk to an agent. In some instances, the customer is even informed of how long she can expect to wait on hold. Oftentimes this wait time is based on past data corresponding to average wait times associated with the customer's position in the queue. In other instances, the customer is informed of the estimated wait, the request for service is placed in a queue, but the customer is offered a callback rather than being placed on hold. If the customer accepts the offer to be called back, both the system and the customer hang up but the system continues to keep track of the customer's position in the queue. When the customer's request eventually comes to the front of the queue, the system initiates a phone call back to the customer. A problem with this scheme is the estimated wait is tightly coupled to the condition of the queue at the time of the initial call. Further, callback attempts are unlikely to occur at a time dose to the time implied by the estimated wait. Due to variations in resources, staffing, and transaction types, it is typically the case that, when the customer's service request actually arrives at the front of the queue, the actual wait time has substantially deviated from the estimate given to the customer. Lastly, the customer is only given the choice of accepting or rejecting the callback offer. The customer has no control over the schedule of when a callback will be attempted |
Chylomicron remnants: hepatic receptors and metabolism.
Recent studies support a sequential model for hepatic processing and catabolism of chylomicron remnants. Removal of chylomicron remnants by the liver involves interaction with several macromolecules on the cell surface, including the LDL receptor and heparan-sulfate-bound hepatic lipase and apolipoprotein E. Endocytosis of chylomicron remnants into hepatocytes is mediated by apolipoprotein E and normally occurs through the LDL receptor. Interaction of chylomicron remnants with the LDL receptor-related protein, or another endocytic receptor with similar properties, occurs slowly, requiring modification of surface-bound chylomicron remnants, and serves as a backup mechanism that is utilized primarily when LDL receptors are deficient or down-regulated. |
Andy Rubin, who created Android and has led its development both at Android Inc. and later at Google, has decided to step down as the big Android boss at Google. Having created the world's "most-used mobile operating system", as Google CEO Larry Page refers to it, I'd say his stint has been successful. Interestingly enough, he will be succeeded by Sundar Pichai - Chrome OS boss. Yes.
I said it would be fine for her classroom.
I said it was not for me and I'd go with something else.
Are you surprised that someone on OSNews would demand more from an operating system?
I never said Chrome OS was a failure, don't put words in my mouth or infer things.
I said what I said, nothing more.
They're good for children, and worth every penny if you value security and being locked down.
They're bad for people with actual computing needs, and overpriced if you're going to replace ChromeOS with something else.
The picture editor only has "rotate" and "crop"... it didn't even have red eye reduction. You can't even Facebook properly on it.
I did not dual boot the machines because they're not mine and I didn't want to brick them. To dual boot you need to get into dev mode and replace the bootloader.
I did, however, do the chroot thing which only required dev mode, not replacing the bootloader.
The chroot environment was okay but still had issues due to the hardware. There was no middle clicking to paste and the alt-up alt-down as home and end keys that works in ChromeOS did not translate to the chroot environment. |
The Blackman has always been held up for public evaluation and scrutiny, whereas this has never been the case for the Blackwoman. In fact, the Blackwoman has been shielded, protected from such public evaluation; they are a protected class in this way.—Shahrazad Ali
While much has been said, written, and studied about Black America more generally, and certain aspects and sectors of it more specifically (for example, the “hood” or ghetto precincts and its denizens), what hasn’t received as close a look are the inner workings, motivations, and psychology of a small but rather vocal and, to some extent, influential group of African Americans: Black feminists. While they’ve been around since at least the early 1970s, there has to date been no attempt to delve into what makes them as a group tick, to attempt to explain why they do what they do.
Until now.
In this article, I will lay out my particular take on the psychology of the Black feminist, where it comes from, and, finally, how it manifests in real time today—what I refer to as the Ms. Ann syndrome. It is, if I do say so myself, an unprecedented look into the psyche of a particular sort of Black woman in Black America.
So let’s get right to it.
The Bougie Sista Mindset
As Roosh so eloquently put it in his recent article “What Is A Social Justice Warrior?” those who make it their life calling in our time to “right wrongs” almost always come from an “alt” or “unconventional” background; indeed, such people regard their “otherness” as a kind of badge of honor, imbuing them with special superpowers that make it possible for them to lord it over everyone else. When it comes to Black feminists, via the superpower of intersectionality, they can claim a unique oppression: they’re not just women but they’re Black women, and in some cases they’re queer Black women, and in many cases they’re “plus-sized,”unconventionally attractive Black women, and … well, you get the idea.
But what they don’t tell you is the following:
They’re very often not very attractive Black women, at least not in terms of what most of the Black men who matter would think of when asked to give their idea of such a sista who fits the description. And it is not making the select brotha’s cut that really puts a bee in the Black feminist’s bonnet.
Now, of course, they’ll deny this, but the sheer volume of their screeching in protest really tells you all you need to know on this score—they care deeply what select brothas—the Mr. Bigs of Black America—think of them. If this wasn’t the case, they would have never come out with ridiculous drivel like “Black male privilege“—yet another smokescreen for Black feminists crying sour grapes.
Anyway, let’s discuss the essential mindset that animates the Black feminist. It is informed by hailing from at least nominally middle-class and increasingly upper-middle-class backgrounds. They tend to attend “White” schools—either parochial or private schools outright or, in the case of public schools, those that tend to be suburban and “magnet” in orientation. Moreover, they tend to take classes in which the majority of their classmates will not be Black, and this will tend to be the case going all the way through their graduate studies (if anyone out there can hip me to well-known Black feminists who have attended predominately Black schools/universities, by all means do so; to the best of my knowledge, this simply is not the case).
Of course, their experience as feminists, like just about everything else in their lives, is defined in “White” terms; after all, feminism came about as a direct result of the actions of White women and continues to be defined along those lines, despite almost a half-century of teeth-gnashing, feet-stamping, and “me too!”ing on the part of Black feminists themselves. From their high school and/or college years when they’re first cutting their teeth on feminist ideology, they do so in the shadows of their White “sisters”—who regard them as little more than stepsisters up in the attic, in truth of fact.
But perhaps the most impactful experience for the Black bougie sista turned Black feminist is life after graduation from college and heading out into the working world. Most sistas of this class tend to work in “do-gooder” professions—nonprofit, health care, certain types of law, and, more generally, academia. And it is here that they, once again, are surrounded by Beckys and Rachels, where they “live” cheek by jowl with them. The sistas that become Black feminists see the world of Becky and Rachel and see the possibilities—of being able to be adored, protected, and catered to by the whole of society. They marvel at how their White “sisters” can explore themselves sexually—even to the point of making horrendously boneheaded mistakes in doing so—and none of that is held against them, professionally or otherwise. For example, Becky and Rachel can hook up like mad in school and shortly thereafter, and they can still “get their Chad”, i.e., get a (relatively) conventionally attractive, educated, and successful White guy willing to go on bended knee and put a ring on it (compare and contrast to brothas, regardless of where they fall on the socioeconomic status (SES) spectrum, who aren’t exactly the marrying kind among America’s men). Many sistas in this strata know and understand well that if they give off even the hint of being a ho, they can and will forfeit their pass to the better-off brothas: they may like it, but they ain’t gonna put a ring on it.
Think about this for a moment—put yourself into Danielle’s or Tanya’s shoes. For most of their lives, they have lived as “aliens” among Whites generally, and White women in particular; oh, they may play a role in their lives but rarely anything more than a bit part, so to speak. Wouldn’t you want more for yourself too?
A Mistake of the Intellect
Of course, the problem here is that Black feminists haven’t put anywhere near enough thought into their ideology, thinking that all they need to do is mix ‘n’ match elements of White feminist “thought.” For example, take the idea(?) of patriarchy—if one accepts the (White) feminists’ premise, it then raises powerful questions as to how this applies to the American Black man, who has never had, and doesn’t now have, patriarchal control over his woman. In fact, it has long been a matter of common knowledge that Black America is decidedly matriarchal in configuration, function, and outlook. Black feminists never really address this glaring hole in their “argument,” instead attempting to sidestep the whole thing by tossing the red herring of so-called “Black male privilege” onto the table, yet another White feminist ideological knockoff (by discussing “White straight male privilege”). Again, Black men writ large have not and cannot be said to possess “privilege” in any way that would be considered meaningful, and again, upon closer inspection of the facts, it is revealed that if anyone in Black America enjoys “privilege,” it is Black women themselves, seven ways to Sunday—from presidential attention and caring about their health and wellness concerns to that same presidential laser-like focus when a Black girl is killed, which raises the profile of her death to such an extent that her killers are swiftly apprehended by local police. Compare and contrast to President Obama’s tepid responses to the verdicts in the cases of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner; and Obama could barely finish unveiling his My Brother’s Keeper initiative before the Black feminist coalition jumped down his throat for daring to suggest that any attention be given to the plight of Black men at the Oval Office level. There are many more examples.
Undaunted, Black feminists continue to make the case(?) that Black female lives are somehow not just substandard when compared with Black males’ but also that said Black males are themselves the direct cause and reason for the deplorable conditions of Black female lives—this, despite the fact—FACT—that Black women themselves call the shots in every demonstrable way in Black American life. That Black feminists have been able to get this far on such a flimsy, weak-sauce “argument” really does beggar belief.
The Ultimate Goal: To Be Ms. Ann—What Else?
Of course, the ultimate goal of Black feminists—de facto White women who aren’t attractive enough to get the attention of select Black men (or successful enough to swim in the same social orbit waters in order to get close enough to them)—is to somehow ape enough White feminist cant to qualify as quasi–Ms. Anns themselves. This explains all of the squawking on the part of Black feminists of late around so-called “issues” like “street harassment” (which the White outrage outfit Hollaback! recently proved, by hoisting themselves on their own petard, is a bunch of bunk) because Black feminists are trying to say that they’re exactly like the Ms. Anns of the social justice warrior world, when all available evidence, from what little has been academically conducted to what one can glean with one good eye out on the streets for themselves, says otherwise. The sad truth is, like Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, Black feminists aren’t the people they think they are, and no one is going along with the charade—which explains how and why Black feminists themselves continue to get short shrift from their own “sisters” time and again, as recently as a month and half ago. After all, if Hollback! really thought Black women mattered, they’d have included them in their big media video too, now wouldn’t they?
In summation, the entire project that is Black feminism is really an elaborate smokescreen that runs interference for the fact that there is a not insignificant number of Black women in our time who are deeply envious of White women, want what they have, and have set out to try out “Ms. Ann” herself … which, by all accounts, hasn’t gone over very well.
As per usual, Black women are attempting to do everything but accept themselves for who and what they are and stand up for, and with, the very people in America they should most be able to trust: Black men. But, I fear at this juncture, that they may have alienated far too many brothas to make a difference.
I sure do hope that I’m wrong. |
Q:
Adding CORS header files to Spiffy (Scheme/Chicken)
I need to connect a web app to a REST interface made in Scheme/Chicken with Spiffy webserver.
How do you add this header using correct Scheme syntax to the .scm config file (starting Spiffy with CSI -s /www/config.scm)?
The header is Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
A:
When you take a procedure in vhost-map, you can just wrap it in with-headers, like so:
(vhost-map `((".*" . ,(lambda (cont)
(with-headers '((access-control-allow-origin "*"))
cont)))))
This uses the with-headers procedure which simply adds headers to the response returned by the thunk. See the Spiffy docs for more info.

Q:
Inserting "placeholders" with an FCKeditor plugin to be later replaced with dynamic content
I'm writing a plugin for FCKeditor that's meant to insert placeholders for dynamic content into the HTML. The interface look like this:
Currently, the plugin inserts the following HTML:
<div title="Dynamic Element: E-Cards (sidebar)" class="dynamicelement ecards-sidebar"> </div>
The snippet of Javascript in my plugin that accomplishes the actual insertion of these placeholders is this:
function insertNewDiv() {
var divNode = oEditor.FCK.EditorDocument.createElement('div');
oEditor.FCK.InsertElement(divNode);
oEditor.FCK.Focus();
oEditor.FCK.Events.FireEvent('OnSelectionChange');
return divNode;
}
To make it look nice in the FCKeditor window, I'm applying some CSS to the FCKeditor window, including the following, that writes the title in there:
.dynamicelement:before {
content: attr(title);
}
Anyway, other than the styling, FCKeditor treats these div elements no differently than any other div element in its window. This is not good for me.
I need these placeholders to have the following traits:
Insertion of content into the placeholder is not allowed.
Clicking it should select it as a whole.
Tapping the delete key when it's selected should delete it.
The only way to edit it (apart from deleting it) is to select it, then click the toolbar button to open an edit dialog.
It should always be considered a block-level element
It doesn't matter if the HTML output uses a custom tag name or not (<dynamicelement> instead of <div class="dynamicelement">).
Does the FCKeditor API provide a way to give it command like, "Treat every element that matches the selector 'div.dynamicelement' the following way: ..." ?
Also, is there another FCKeditor plugin that does a similar thing that I can refer to that I might have overlooked in my research?
EDIT: By the way, I already know about CKeditor. I'm using FCKeditor for a couple of reasons: it's working for my CMS, the configuration options I'm using are perfect for my clients (except, obviously, for the placeholder thing), etc..
A:
I solved this by duplicating the code that makes the "Page Break" button work.
While wading through the source code, I learned that FCKeditor has a native method for inserting placeholders.
Create a "fake image" and insert it into the editor DOM. You can style the image however you want.
Using Javascript, connect it to the div in question.
Hide the div (it still appears in the source and in your output though).
While in WYSIWYG mode, you're playing with this fake image, and the changes are being carried over to the div.
There a few bits and pieces that need to be in the plugin to make this work. If you grep for FCK__PageBreak, you will find them all in the source, ready to be copied into your plugin. FCK__PageBreak is the class name of the Page Break's fake image.

The opener with Carmen and Oliver Sanchez is a definite winner, during which the stunning Spanish lass is treated to what is obviously a much-appreciated buttfuck by the well-appointed Mr. Sanchez, and the proceedings are topped off with an especially commendable pop shot. Similarly hot is the interracial scene in which Mr. Marcus and Julian St. Jox knock it to an apparently voracious white girl, who also accommodates St. Jox's pickle in her posterior portal.
Rather disappointing is Layla's concluding tussle with Mickey G. Visually solid and reasonably enthused, the scene is nevertheless too short and doesn't live up to the star billing Layla gets here. Still this is a plenty serviceable title with a gorgeous, ethnically diverse cast. |
Description
Chinatown Wars puts the player in control of Huang Lee, a member of the Triads in the modern Liberty City. After his father's assassination, Huang flies in from China to deliver a ceremonial sword to his uncle Wu "Kenny" Lee to ensure the inheritance of the Triad bosses. However, shortly after his arrival he is jumped, shot, robbed and left for dead, only to survive and vow his vengeance for his father and recover the lost sword to bring honor back to his family.
While being a mission-based game in the vein of the 3D Grand Theft Auto installments, Chinatown Wars returns to use the more traditional top-down while using a new cel-shaded 3D Engine. Many of the features from the more recent GTA games have been included, such as the safehouse, where the protagonist can read e-mails from other characters in the game and store cars and items. There is also a programmable GPS system that helps players find their way in the Liberty City more easily. A replay feature is also present that allows players to replay previous missions by accessing these through their safehouses.
While the protagonist can make money by completing missions, he can also engage in drug trading with numerous dealers scattered throughout Liberty City. There are many drugs to choose from including cocaine, heroin, acid, and weed among others; it is possible to buy them cheap and sell them to other dealers by checking their market value through the PDA. From time to time, an e-mail will be sent to the protagonist that will tip him off of dealers that are either selling drugs at a cheap price or buying them at above average market prices. However, the player must also be aware that buying in bulk will attract the attention of the police after the deal has been done, causing the main character's star level to instantly rise. If the protagonist is caught, he will lose all the drugs that he is carrying.
It is possible to carjack drug vans (which are indicated by a red arrow above them), return them to the safehouse and search them for either drugs or cash. Weapons can be obtained by hijacking Amm-u-nation trucks, but the trucks are heavily-armored and their drivers armed.
Police chases have been changed in this installment. While it still features a star level, there is also an icon that resembles cop cars. While players can still resort to Pay 'n Spray shops to change the look of the car to throw off the authorities, they can also wreck any pursuing police car, crossing out the car icon. If the cop car icons for that level are dropped, their star level will drop as well.
The DS version utilizes the system's capabilities such as using the stylus pen as a screwdriver to turn the car's ignition, or taking a plate off in the car and using the stylus to hotwire it. The pen can also be used to scratch off lottery games in stores scattered around in the game, as well as throw explosive devices such as grenades and molotov cocktails or even smash objects such as security panels or a windshield of a car when the player goes into the water while in a vehicle. The microphone can also be used by blowing into it to hail an approaching on-duty taxi. This version also supports Nintendo WFC for statistics uploading to the Rockstar Social Club and multi-play gaming.
The PSP version adds several new missions, as well as new radio stations. Where the touch screen is used on the DS, the PSP version instead uses the analog stick. |

Democratic liberalism
Democratic liberalism aims to reach a synthesis of democracy which is the participation of the people in the power and liberalism, a political and/or social philosophy advocating the freedom of the individual. It arose after World War I (with most major nations enacting universal suffrage) and its main question was how to get the population involved and interested in politics outside of elections.
The British Liberal Democrats describe their ideology as giving "power to the people" as they are against the concentration of power in unaccountable bodies. They propose decentralisation of power out of Westminster and electoral and parliamentary reform to create a system of tiered government structures to make decisions at what they see as the right level, including regional assemblies, the European Union and international organisations. The Liberal Democrats want to protect civil liberties and oppose state intervention in personal affairs. In his Democratic Liberalism: The Politics of Dignity, Craig Duncan says:

Genetic alterations in astrocytic tumors: hints to a molecular epidemiological interpretation.
General incidence of brain tumors has significantly increased over the past two decades. Although the aetiology of this increase has not been determined, increased life span and improved diagnosis methods can partially be responsible for it. Starting from the epidemiological data on risk factors, we reviewed the molecular events known to be involved in the genesis and progression of the most common brain neoplasm in adult, namely astrocytoma. Alterations in different genes, encoding key regulatory elements in the cell cycle control, were reviewed. In light of the molecular epidemiological notion that carcinogens leave fingerprints, point mutations at the p53 locus from a panel of astrocytic tumor patients from all over the world were analysed. The results of this analysis suggest that the majority of astrocytomas may have a spontaneous origin. In particular, the kind of mutational events observed suggests a major role for mutagenic events occurring at CpG sites. In order to yield valid conclusions on the potential role of environmental mutagenic factors, well designed molecular epidemiological studies on populations clearly showing a higher relative risk of developing brain tumors are needed. |
On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) refused to rule out the possibility that Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) might face consequences for releasing documents on Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Coons said, “I have to be careful what I say here because I’m the vice chairman of the Ethics Committee, and in that role, I can’t comment on anything that may or may not come before the Ethics Committee.”
He continued, “I do think this was an unprecedented process in which significant amounts, the overwhelming majority of the documents relevant to Judge Kavanaugh’s service in the Bush administration as staff secretary were blocked from review by the committee. And there was a strong disagreement between the majority and the minority. Overall I agree with that concern.”
When asked if Booker’s behavior was under review by the committee, Coons said, “I can’t comment on that. The rules of the ethics committee prohibit any member of the committee from commenting on whether a matter is before the committee or not.”

Q:
Deleting files archived with NSCoding
I'm trying to delete all files that my application has persisted using NSCoding. Seems like it should be a simple thing to do, but I can't find an answer, whilst I'm showing just one class here, I have several and I'd like the delete function to save all instances of all classes my app has archived. I'm not doing anything different to NSCoder:
So my interface is defined
Details : NSObject <NSCoding>
My implementation has:
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder
{
NSLog(@"initWithCoder 'Details'");
if (self = [super init])
{
NSLog(@"Decoding 'Details'");
self.name = [decoder decodeObjectForKey:@"name"];
}
return self;
}
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder
{
NSLog(@"Encoding 'Details'");
[encoder encodeObject:self.name forKey:@"name"];
}
When I write it I'm using:
NSData *data = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:object];
NSUserDefaults* userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[userDefaults setObject:data forKey:identifier];
I did start off trying to look in the documents directory, but I think as I'm writing this and from my research that it will be written to NSUserDefaults (and that might not be the best thing). So at the risk of asking two questions, how do I delete all my objects that are saved/archived using NSCoder to NSUserDefaults (and potentially, should I be setting this to something else (i.e a sub-folder inside the documents folder....if yes, how would I do that).
A:
NSCoding provides a way to transform objects into NSData for easy archiving. What you do with those NSData objects afterward are your responsibility. You may or may not save them to individual files, but NSCoding is not aware of that.
It seems like you have been dumping those NSData into NSUserDefaults using [userDefaults setObject:data forKey:identifier];
You need to delete all entries for every identifier you have used by doing [userDefaults removeObjectForKey:identifier];.
You can't automatically determine what those entries are.
Additionally, you might want to consider not hogging NSUserDefaults and save those to individual files. (look at [NSData writeToFile:]) This will additionally help you track what those files are (you could for example all place them in the same folder/subfolder).

The present invention is drawn to a method for excavating and constructing monolithic continuous straight or circular structural walls and an equipment for carrying out the method.
A method is already known in the prior art which consists of digging a trench for the structural wall, substaining the walls of the trench by introducing mixtures, usually with bentonite, and then inserting a diaphragm made of adjacent prismatic elements with a rectangular section.
The main drawback of such a technique is that the elements of the diaphragm, being simply put near each other, do not guarantee a safe hydraulic sealing nor the complanarity of the various elements. The foregoing results in settings when underground stresses occur.
Moreover, when the walls of the trench are kept up by bentonitic mixtures, several yard equipment, usually very bulky, are required for making and storing the bentonite mixtures.
A further problem occurs when the excavated soil is polluted with bentonite. Dumps are needed together with transportation means provided with watertight dump boxes to dispose of the soil.
The foregoing technique is not only used for executing straight stuctural concrete walls, but also for realizing wells and therefore structural walls with a circular shape. In this second case the method consists in executing, along the circumference of the wall, a sequence of reinforced concrete diaphragms. Such diaphragms are casted into trenches that are substained by bentonitic mixtures.
The diaphragms are mainly executed in sequences, with opening and closing diaphragms alternatively fitted.
The main drawback of this excavating technique is that the diaphragms are never perfectly vertical, so that it is impossible to execute a structural junction between the single diaphragms. So a further problem is that such diaphragms guarantee the well to be functional only down to the level where they are perfectly positioned along the circumference of the wall.

Overfilled my B&S 725ex self propelled lawmower
I overfilled my B&S 725ex self propelled lawnmower. I cut front yard no problem. Yesterday I went to cut back yard. I realized I had overfilled it with oil. I drained oil refilled to proper level changed spark plug. Pulled cord it just won't start. Please help.
A:
Pull the spark and make sure it's not wet with oil. If it is, clean it.
Validate there's not oil in the cylinder. If there is, you can squirt carb cleaner into it and pull the string a few times real hard to clear it out. Wash, rinse, repeat a few times.
Check your air filter and ensure it's not saturated with oil. If it is, clean and/or replace it as necessary to make sure it's not wet or oil soaked. If you do clean it, make sure it's not moist from water or a solvent before you put it back into service.
Those are the three top items I would check. You should be good. Of course, make sure your oil is at the correct level again. It never hurts to double check.

Wave-front distortion of high-order harmonic beams caused by intensity-dependent emission phases.
We have measured the far-field angular distribution of high-order harmonic beams generated in low-density gas at the focus of an intense laser beam. The experimental setup created conditions where the harmonics could be thought of as emerging from a two-dimensional plane at the focus rather than from a three-dimensional interaction region. Under these conditions, harmonic light scattered into broad angles indicates that intrinsic phases develop at the atomic level between the laser field and the emitted individual harmonics and that this phenomenon has a strong dependence on the laser intensity. Because the laser intensity varies radially in the focus, intensity-dependent phases cause the emerging harmonic beams to have distorted wave fronts which result in broad scattering. These conclusions are in agreement with theoretical calculations and have interesting implications. |
Roger Goodell, having tripped all over his dick as regards the Saints' bounty program, is back to swinging the stupid thing in our faces again. Today, he reinstated the suspensions of all four players, although three of them were given more lenient punishment this time around. Scott Fujita's suspension was reduced from three games to one; Anthony Hargrove's was knocked down to seven games from eight; and Jonathan Vilma will be allowed to receive his salary from the first six weeks of the season.
It was fairly easy for Goodell to reinstate his original ruling. All he had to do was claim that he was suspending the players because their conduct was detrimental to the game and not because they violated salary cap rules by exchanging money via a bounty program.
The NFL released a massive statement explaining Goodell's ruling, including letters he sent to the four players who were suspended. Here's a bit from the one he sent to Scott Fujita:
I am surprised and disappointed by the fact that you, a former defensive captain and a passionate advocate for player safety, ignored such a program and permitted it to continue. You made clear to me that participation in the program was voluntary and that other players could have refused to participate, as you claim to have done. If you had spoken up, perhaps other players would have refused to participate and the consequences with which we are now dealing could have been avoided.
Prick.

Q:
Loading JSON object into Ember Data, e.g. Embedding JSON into the page on load and populating the store
My application embeds initial data into the html so that Ember does not need to send extra http requests on initialization. I am using the latest Ember data and I have not been able to succesfully take a JSON object, which is the same as Active Model Serializer returns when you save or create a record, and load it into the store.
I am currently trying these methods with no success:
In a route -
this.get('store').load(App.Post, data)
and
this.get('store').loadMany(App.Post, data)
I also use Pusher that sends me the JSON (generated by Active Model Serializer) for an updated object and the callback in my route currently looks like this.
refresh: function(data) {
var json = data
var store = this.get('store')
var type = App.Post
var id = data.reply.id
Ember.run(this, function(){
store.adapterForType(App.Post).didFindRecord(store, type, json, id);
});
}
Has anyone successfully done this? I know Discourse is not using Ember Data so their solution is different. I really appreciate any help in the matter. Thanks

[Nocardia respiratory infection in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease].
Pulmonary nocardiosis is a respiratory infection which is usually described in the immunocompromised. We report three cases in patients suffering from chronic airflow obstruction. In two cases there was a parenchymal disorder and in one case bronchial suppuration without involvement of the alveolar region. The diagnosis was made in all cases by bacteriological examination from specimens obtained at fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The outcome was favourable in all three cases after appropriate treatment. These observations underline the diversity of the clinical forms of respiratory nocardiosis. Furthermore, it demonstrates their possible occurrence in non-immunocompromised patients and the need to look for this germ specifically in long drawn infections. A bacteriological diagnosis is vital to start early and appropriate antibiotic therapy which should be prolonged because of the risk of recurrence and disseminated infection. |

Q:
Is it better to use graphics or BitmapData for filling with a colour and using blendMode = HARDLIGHT?
I'm working on a very basic day/dusk/night overlay for a simple 2d game.
I will use a blendMode = HARDLIGHT, interpolating from a table with different colours and opacity based on the current game time. Then every N frames will redraw the overlay.
It's a trivial matter but since I don't have a clear opinion, what do you think, is it better for this to:
draw using Sprite.graphics,
or to use a BitmapData.
(I was thinking also thinking of using a ColorMatrix but I don't think I can replicate the HARDLIGHT blendMode in that case).
Using graphics it seems easier to avoid memory leaks, do you agree?
Thanks in advance
A:
BitmapData is much faster than vector graphics because vector rendering required math to fill your shape.

This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for holding and positioning film for making x-rays, thermographs and other types of images, and in particular it relates to obtaining such images when patients can not be moved from their beds, but must have the procedure performed in situ.
Some types of medical conditions make it difficult for patients to be moved once they have assumed a desired position in bed, either due to the fact that they have serious injuries, they are unconscious, or because they would experience severe pain if they were moved. For example, patients with certain types of arthritis experience severe pain when they are placed on an unyielding surface such as a typical x-ray table, or when they are required to move even a small amount. In these circumstances, many procedures must be performed while the patient remains in bed.
When patients in this condition are lying on a bed of a soft compressible nature, technicians taking images, such as x-rays, frequently incur difficulty in placing the film in the proper position to obtain the desired image of an inflicted portion of the patient's body. This is particularly true if the patient is heavy and locally compresses the surface of the bed substantially so that uncompressed portions of the bed prevent placing the film at the desired location. Faced with this type of situation, technicians frequently resort to one or more of several strategems for placing the film holder in the proper locations for good exposure.
One such technique for placing the film holder in the optimum position adjacent to that portion of the patient of which it is desired to obtain a picture, is to place heavy objects, such as sand bags, alongside the film holder so as to depress the uncompressed portions of the bed sufficiently to enable the film holder to be perfectly placed for the desired exposure.
If satisfactory objects are not available, or if there is not sufficient room on the bed to place them appropriately, the technician often will sit on or press the bed down adjacent to the film holder to obtain the desired amount of compression of the mattress so that the film holder can be properly placed for the desired exposure. This latter technique is highly undesirable for the technician because it may result in unnecessary exposure to x-ray radiation.
What is needed, therefore, is some means of compressing the bed alongside of the patient, and thereby permitting placement of the film, which does not require placement of heavy objects on the bed or the personal intervention of the technician during exposure. Several film holders have been developed which could possibly be used to solve this problem, but since they were designed for other purposes, they all have shortcomings which make them unsuitable for the subject purpose.
For example, one device provides a dolly which can be wheeled into position alongside of the bed and the wheels locked. A film holder, carried by the dolly, can be extended laterally to reach the patient and adjusted vertically to the desired height, and then clamped into position. However, because the device is made to be easily portable, it is not heavy enough so that the film holder can be adjusted to compress the bed sufficiently to obtain the desired image. In addition, a device of this type which was of sufficient weight to properly compress the bed would be unwieldy to move about.
Other film holders, which are more portable, are designed to permit exposure of young children, which sit on the base of the fixture while it rests on a table. This type of device can also be used to permit exposure of adults by supporting the film in a desired location relative to a seated patient. However, devices of this type do not provide the necessary degree of adjustability to hold a bed in compression and place the film holder in the desired location. |

Excessive Fragmentary Myoclonus: What Do We Know?
Excessive fragmentary myoclonus (EFM) is a polysomnographic finding registered by the surface electromyography (EMG) and characterized as a result of the muscle activity consisting of sudden, isolated, arrhythmic, asynchronous and asymmetric brief twitches. The EMG potentials are defined by the exact criteria in The International Classification of the Sleep Disorders, 3rd edition and they appear with high intensity in all sleep stages. Clinical significance of EFM is unclear. It was observed in combination with other diseases and features such as obstructive and central sleep apnea, narcolepsy, periodic limb movements, insomnia, neurodegenerative disorders and peripheral nerve dysfunction. Relation to such wide range of diseases supports the opinion that EFM is nor a specific sleep disorder nor a specific polysomnographic sign. The option that EFM is a normal variant has also not been ruled out so far. |
Q:
Orthonormal basis in group ring necessarily characters?
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $C(G,\mathbb{C})$ the group ring on $G$ with multiplication being the convolution $\ast$ and unit $\delta_0$. Let $B \subseteq C(G,\mathbb{C})$ be a $|G|$-element subset of orthogonal idempotents with respect to $\ast$, s.t. $\sum_{b \in B} b =\delta_0 $. Is $B = \widehat{G}$, necessarily?
A:
You know that $C(G,\mathbb C)$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb C\times\cdots\times\mathbb C$ as an algebra, so you can translate your question to:
is a complete set of orthogonal idempotents in $\mathbb C\times\cdots\times\mathbb C$ necesarily the standard basis?
Is it?

Full-color technologies applied on organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices have advanced significantly. Common full-color technologies include the applications of multi-layered structures, color conversion, juxtaposed pixels, color filters, etc. To apply the color conversion method, light emitted by certain organic materials is used as excitation to excite color-converting materials for illuminating light with different colors, e.g., red, green, and blue. In this way, full-color light can be produced. To apply the color conversion method, color-converting materials need to be disposed into the OLED device. Under the excitation of the light emitted by the organic light-emitting materials, the color-converting materials generate light that radiates in various directions. A portion of the light emitted by the color-converting materials may also radiate on the side of the organic light-emitting materials that is not designed to be the light-emitting side. As a result, intensity and color saturation of the light emitted at the light-emitting side of the OLED device may be reduced. The light emission efficiency of the OLED device can be reduced or impaired. |

Algorithm for the grouping of contiguous geographical zones.
In geographical epidemiology, the correlation between two variables is often studied, using as basic units those zones for which these variables are available. However, because of their geographical contiguity, it could be misleading to consider each of these zones as independent statistical units. Moreover, spatial distributions (either of the factor or of the disease) are often distributed in relatively simple patterns; these patterns may induce strong correlations. Thus, the general pattern of the spatial distribution of the variables should be investigated before any attempt to infer epidemiological interpretation of a relationship. This paper presents an algorithm to construct contiguous groupings which are similar enough with regard to one of the two variables considered and to thus divide the original set of geographical areas into contrasting zones. The algorithm is easy to compute and allows mapping of the geographical distribution of the variable studied. It also lessens the risk of duplication of basic information by reducing the autocorrelation of one of the variables. |

in this example:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["favcolor"] = "green";
$_SESSION["favanimal"] = "cat";

?>
When exactly does php save the session variables into the file? When the response has been send or right after a value is assigned to the associative array?
Thank you in advance!
A:
PHP saves the session data automatically at the end of your scripts runtime. You can however, force it do so early by using session_write_close()

Q:
MediaBrowserServiceCompat vs mediaSessionCompat?
I just developed a music app (local songs)
When trying to build playback control on lock-screen and notification using mediaSessionCompat I found ianhanniballake's following link:
https://medium.com/google-developers/mediabrowserservicecompat-and-the-modern-media-playback-app-7959a5196d90#.kfvx5jfyn
Though the blog was nicely explained, I didn't understand the difference between mediaSessionCompat and MediaBrowserServiceCompat.
Can someone explain why MediaBrowserServiceCompat is used? Is it necessary? Is mediaSessionCompat enough?
Thanks in advance
A:
mediaBrowserCompat and mediaBrowserServiceCompat are used if you have many UI interfaces like Android Auto, Wear, mobile etc so the playback runs in all devices synchronously.
mediaBrowserCompat is coded in the Activties where you need to control the service from. So it can be coded multiple times, like one for Main Activity of phone, one for Auto, one for Wear, etc.
Whereas, mediaBrowserServiceCompat is coded only once inside the service class for the above mentioned mediaBrowserServiceCompats can connect to it and control the playback using mediaControllerCompat. The connection is set using setSession(token) and accessed by getSession(token).

The present invention relates to a device and method for temporarily identifying tube rows on a tubesheet. In a tube and shell heat exchanger, such as a vertical tube chemical reactor, there are situations in which it is helpful to be able to identify the tubes, such as when the tubes are being loaded with catalyst, unloaded, blown down, cleaned, inspected, repaired, or pressure tested. This is usually done by numbering the rows and then numbering the tubes within a row. Workers often identify the rows temporarily by marking the row numbers on the tubesheet with chalk, but this is time consuming, leaves undesirable material on the tubesheet, the markings can be scuffed or erased when walking over them, and there is the possibility of dropping a piece of chalk down one of the tubes, which would be very undesirable. It is also known to number the rows temporarily using paint and ink, which has essentially the same problems as chalk. Rows also can be marked permanently by stamping, welding, etching and adding other welded pieces like nuts, bolts or pins, but such permanent markings often are not present. |
Neurological diseases as seen at the outpatient Paediatric Neurology Clinic in Benin City.
There is a paucity of literature about the pattern of neurological diseases in children attending out-patient departments in Africa. In this study more boys than girls presented at our clinic. Almost all the principal diseases seen are eminently preventable. There appears to be no effective immunization programme. There is need for epidemiological studies to ascertain the true incidence of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis in view of the high incidence of measles in the community. |
# Optionals
### When do we use them?
Optionals are used when something is not known at the time of initialization, when an API can fail, or when the absence of a value provides additional meaning.
### Key Considerations
* Evaluate if you need an optional value, and avoid them if possible.
* Do not make `Bool`s optional.
* A tri-state `Bool` can be represented in a more structured way, such as an `enum` with three well-named `case`s.
* Avoid making `Array`s optional.
* Only do this if it provides meaning beyond it just being empty.
* System APIs may require us to use optional values since they return optional values.
* `URL`s created using `init?(string:)` are a common example.
* `weak` properties must be optional by definition because they can become `nil`.
### Dealing with Optionals
* Always handle unwrapping optionals safely.
* We prefer conditional binding (`if let`) over `flatMap`.
* If a function requires an optional value to have a value, we opt to bind with `guard` statements and return early.
### Reference Docs
* [The Basics — The Swift Programming Language](https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/LanguageGuide/TheBasics.html#ID330)

Q:
What's the recommended approach when using hypothesis tests on a large sample dataset (1M+)?
What's the recommended approach when using hypothesis tests on a large sample dataset? Talking about 1M+ records.
According to this post (http://blog.minitab.com/blog/statistics-and-quality-data-analysis/large-samples-too-much-of-a-good-thing), having 1M+ records can make almost anything statistically significant. Are you supposed to sample a small fraction of the data for the hypothesis test?
A:
One way start is to ask the right questions. So e.g. instead of checking if the true means differ, you could ask if the true means differ more than some relevant threshold. Or instead of investigating if there is a true non-zero correlation, you could test if the true correlation is larger than some trivial bound.
The easiest way to test hypotheses in this way is to calculate confidence intervals on the parameter of interest and see if it excludes the "trivial" range of values.
Sometimes, even with huge data, classic approaches are perfectly fine. Think e.g. about deciding if a random number generator's output is non-uniform etc.
In many cases, the data at hand cannot be considered as random sample (e.g. because it is a convenience sample or the full population). In such settings, there is no real point in using classic stats tools and the often, the best way is to present a purely descriptive analysis instead of showing wrong/biased inductive stats.

Q:
Rails/Ruby, mixing modules and remaining DRY
I am trying to write more modular code for my rails apps, so have started playing more with including modules in classes. I have basic understanding of their function, but i am finding it hard to keep them flexible while remaining DRY.
Here is a current example.
I have a module called Contactable. It has two very basic functions.
Ensures the right contact columns are present in the DB.
Validates certain fields.
Here it is
module Contactable
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
ERROR = 'please ensure necessary fields are in place'
included do
REQUIRED_DATABASE_FIELDS.map { |rdf| raise "#{rdf} not included. #{ERROR}" unless column_names.include?(rdf)}
REQUIRED_INPUT_FIELDS.map { |rif| validates rif.to_sym, presence: true}
end
end
I would like contactable to be comprised of three other modules (Phoneable, Emailable and Addressable) which contain the arrays of columns to require and fields to validate against. One I am working on right now is 'Addressable'
module Addressable
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
ERROR = 'please ensure necessary fields are in place'
REQUIRED_DATABASE_FIELDS = %w{address1
address2
address3
town
county
country
postcode}
REQUIRED_INPUT_FIELDS = %w{address1 postcode}
included do
REQUIRED_DATABASE_FIELDS.map { |rdf| raise "#{rdf} not included. #{ERROR}" unless column_names.include?(rdf)}
REQUIRED_INPUT_FIELDS.map { |rif| validates rif.to_sym, presence: true}
end
end
Obviously here there is duplication. However, if I include this module into contactable I avoid the need for some of the repetition but it means that Contactable will always include Phoneable and Emailable also. In some cases I might not want to validate or require these traits. Is there a way I can achieve this flexibility?
A:
You can do something like this:
Add /app/models/concerns/fields_validator.rb
module FieldsValidator
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
class_methods do
def validate_required_attributes
required_attributes.each do |a|
puts "adds validation for #{a}"
validates(a.to_sym, presence: true)
end
end
def load_required_attributes(*_attrs)
puts "loading attrs: #{_attrs.to_s}"
@required_attributes ||=[]
@required_attributes += _attrs
@required_attributes.uniq!
end
def required_attributes
@required_attributes
end
end
end
Add /app/models/concerns/contact.rb
module Contact
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
include FieldsValidator
included do
puts "include contact..."
load_required_attributes(:product_details, :observations, :offer_details)
end
end
Add /app/models/concerns/address.rb
module Address
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
include FieldsValidator
included do
puts "include address..."
load_required_attributes(:sku, :amount, :observations)
end
end
In the model...
class Promotion < ActiveRecord::Base
include Address
include Contact
validate_required_attributes
end
The output:
include address...
loading attrs: [:sku, :amount, :observations]
include contact...
loading attrs: [:product_details, :observations, :offer_details]
adds validation for sku
adds validation for amount
adds validation for observations
adds validation for product_details
adds validation for offer_details
To check this is working...
Promotion.new.save!
"ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Sku can't be blank, Amount can't be blank, Observations can't be blank, Product details can't be blank, Offer details can't be blank"
Considerations:
keep your modules inside a custom namespace. You will have problems with the existent Addressable module. For example:
module MyApp
module Addressable
# code...
end
end
class Promotion < ActiveRecord::Base
include MyApp::Addressable
validate_required_attributes
end
You need to load all the attributes first and then apply the validations. If you don`t do that, you could repeat validations if modules share attributes.
the shared logic goes in FieldsValidator module

Q:
Implementing logic gates in CMOS
I'm trying to build the below function with CMOS, is my implementation correct?
$$ F = ABC + (\overline{B+C})D $$
I am having trouble with the $$(\overline{B+C})$$ in all of the examples I've seen the function is in the form $$F = \overline{blablabla}$$ (the inverse of the whole expression).
I gave it a try but I'm not sure if it's correct, for example is it ok to have ~A as input to a PMOS (I don't see why not).
The correct layout after Dave Tweed pointed out the missing connections on the N-block.
(The added connections are marked with pink)
A:
Yes, your solution is very nearly correct. Here are the steps, which you really should have shown in your question:
In order to deal with the second top-level term, you need to apply De Morgan's Law, which states:
$$\overline{A \cdot B} = \overline{A} + \overline{B}$$
and
$$\overline{A + B} = \overline{A} \cdot \overline{B}$$
Using this, you can make the following transformation:
$$(\overline{B + C}) \cdot D = \overline{B} \cdot \overline{C} \cdot D$$
This transforms the entire function into:
$$F = A \cdot B \cdot C + \overline{B} \cdot \overline{C} \cdot D$$
which is a normal sum-of-products expression.
In order to implement this in CMOS, however, you need a function that has an overall inversion, so you need to apply the law again:
$$F = \overline{\overline{(A \cdot B \cdot C)} \cdot \overline{(\overline{B} \cdot \overline{C} \cdot D)}}$$
and again (two places):
$$F = \overline{(\overline{A} + \overline{B} + \overline{C}) \cdot (B + C + \overline{D})}$$
Your schematic diagram is correct, but your layout does not quite match it. There are a few missing connections on the NMOS side.

Q:
jQuery, get value when user inserts text
when user insert text input i wish get, and insert in link.
How that make with jQuery?
My try (very bad :( ):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var values = $('#user').val();
});
</script>
<body>
<div id = "table">
<input type = "text" id = "user" value = "my_name" />
</div>
<a href = "http://www.link.com/?name=<script>values</script>">link</a>
A:
$(function() {
// listen for the change event on the textbox
$('#user').change(function() {
// when the user changes the value of the textbox
// get the new value
var name = this.value;
// and put this value in the link
$('a#mylink').attr('href', 'http://www.link.com/?name=' + name);
});
});
where the anchor is defined like so:
<a href="http://www.link.com/?name=my_name" id="mylink">link</a>
You may see this in action here.

Melatonin alleviates postinfarction cardiac remodeling and dysfunction by inhibiting Mst1.
Melatonin reportedly protects against several cardiovascular diseases including ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), atherosclerosis, and hypertension. The present study investigated the effects and mechanisms of melatonin on cardiomyocyte autophagy, apoptosis, and mitochondrial injury in the context of myocardial infarction (MI). We demonstrated that melatonin significantly alleviated cardiac dysfunction after MI. Four weeks after MI, echocardiography and Masson staining indicated that melatonin notably mitigated adverse left ventricle remodeling. The mechanism may be associated with increased autophagy, reduced apoptosis, and alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, melatonin significantly inhibited Mst1 phosphorylation while promoting Sirt1 expression after MI, which indicates that Mst1/Sirt1 signaling may serve as the downstream target of melatonin. We thus constructed a MI model using Mst1 transgenic (Mst1 Tg) and Mst1 knockout (Mst1-/- ) mice. The absence of Mst1 abolished the favorable effects of melatonin on cardiac injury after MI. Consistently, melatonin administration did not further increase autophagy, decrease apoptosis, or alleviate mitochondrial integrity and biogenesis in Mst1 knockout mice subjected to MI injury. These results suggest that melatonin alleviates postinfarction cardiac remodeling and dysfunction by upregulating autophagy, decreasing apoptosis, and modulating mitochondrial integrity and biogenesis. The attributed mechanism involved, at least in part, Mst1/Sirt1 signaling. |

Q:
How to rebuild chat bot dialog using bot framework
I am working on a multi dialog form flow chat bot using bot framework.
Below is one of my dialog code where I want to get the confirmation from the user and if necessary, needs to alter customer selection/ parameters provided.
below is the code I'm working on
Dialog
namespace FormBot.Dialogs
{
[Serializable]
public class HardwareDialog : IDialog<object>
{
public async Task StartAsync(IDialogContext context)
{
await context.PostAsync("Welcome to the Hardware solution helpdesk!");
var HardwareFormDialog = FormDialog.FromForm(this.BuildHardwareForm, FormOptions.PromptInStart);
context.Call(HardwareFormDialog, this.ResumeAfterHardwareFormDialog);
}
private IForm<HardwareQuery> BuildHardwareForm()
{
OnCompletionAsyncDelegate<HardwareQuery> HardwareRequest = async (context, state) =>
{
string message = string.Empty;
await context.PostAsync($"Ok. {message}. Once we resolve it; we will get back to you....");
};
return new FormBuilder<HardwareQuery>()
.Field(nameof(HardwareQuery.Hardware))
.Message($"We are Creating Ticket your request ...")
.AddRemainingFields()
.OnCompletion(HardwareRequest)
.Build();
}
private async Task ResumeAfterHardwareFormDialog(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<HardwareQuery> result)
{
try
{
}
catch (FormCanceledException ex)
{
string reply;
if (ex.InnerException == null)
{
reply = "You have canceled the operation. Quitting from the HardwareDialog";
}
else
{
reply = $"Oops! Something went wrong :( Technical Details: {ex.InnerException.Message}";
}
await context.PostAsync(reply);
}
finally
{
context.Done<object>(null);
}
}
public static IForm<HardwareDialog> BuildForm()
{
return new FormBuilder<HardwareDialog>()
.Message("Welcome to Service Ticket Bot!")
.Build();
}
}
}
Query builder
public enum HardwareOptions
{
Desktop, KeyBoard, Laptop, Monitor, Mouse, Printer, Scanner, Server, Tablet
};
[Serializable]
public class HardwareQuery
{
[Prompt("Choose your {&} ? {||}")]
public HardwareOptions? Hardware;
[Prompt("Please enter {&}")]
[Pattern(Utility.Phone)]
public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
[Prompt("Please enter {&} ")]
[Pattern(Utility.Email)]
public string Email { get; set; }
[Prompt("Please provide your business need / {&} below")]
public string Justification { get; set; }
public static IForm<HardwareQuery> BuildForm()
{
OnCompletionAsyncDelegate<ServiceTicket> processOrder = async (context, state) =>
{
await context.PostAsync($"Once we resolve it; we will get back to you....");
};
return new FormBuilder<HardwareQuery>()
.Message("Welcome !")
.Build();
}
}
}
Expected result
Asking for confirmation
Updating the result set
A:
To ask for a confirmation of the selected values in FormFlow, you could use the .Confirm() while building the form. In case you want to prompt for a customized message, you could use .Confirm("Do you confirm the chosen hardware - {Hardware} and your email - {Email} and phone number {PhoneNumber}"). For detailed approaches, have a look at the official documentation. Based on the choice of the confirmation, bot framework's form flow will automatically handle the posting in the questions to change and updating the results.
P.S. On a side note, I am not sure why you are trying to use FormDialog.FromForm and the other unnecessary code, you could simplify the HardwareDialog as follows:
namespace FormBot.Dialogs
{
[Serializable]
public class HardwareDialog : IDialog<object>
{
public async Task StartAsync(IDialogContext context)
{
await context.PostAsync("Welcome to the Hardware solution helpdesk!");
var HardwareFormDialog = new FormDialog<HardwareQuery>(new HardwareQuery(), HardwareQuery.BuildForm, FormOptions.PromptInStart);
context.Call(HardwareFormDialog, this.ResumeAfterHardwareFormDialog);
}
private async Task ResumeAfterHardwareFormDialog(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<HardwareQuery> result)
{
try
{
}
catch (FormCanceledException ex)
{
string reply;
if (ex.InnerException == null)
{
reply = "You have canceled the operation. Quitting from the HardwareDialog";
}
else
{
reply = $"Oops! Something went wrong :( Technical Details: {ex.InnerException.Message}";
}
await context.PostAsync(reply);
}
finally
{
context.Done<object>(null);
}
}

Reports of dysfunction of the systemic ventricle exist for patients with tetralogy of Fallot, ventricular septal defects and dextro transposition of the great arteries. This study utilizes combined cardiac catheterization and non-invasive techniques to evaluate longterm function of the systemic ventricle in patients having undergone total surgical repair of one of these congenital heart lesions. To evaluate function of the systemic ventricle, hemodynamic parameters will be measured at the time of left and right heart catheterizations at rest and during increasing afterload induced by infusion of the selective alpha pressor, methoxamine. Ventricular function will be evaluated by generating work-function curves relating ventricular end diastolic pressure to ventricular work. This relationship will be assessed and compared in study and control patients. In addition, echocardiographic indices of ventricular function and ventricular end systolic pressure dimension relationships will be assessed. A pilot study has been completed in repaired tetralogy of Fallot patients showing that despite satisfactory postoperative resting hemodynamics, left ventricular dysfunction can be unmasked by stress with an increased afterload. To determine whether the observed changes in ventricular function arise from alteration in diastolic pressure-volume relationships or from systolic dysfunction, simultaneously obtained ventricular pressure recordings and echocardiographically determined diastolic dimensions will be used to compare the end-diastolic dimension stroke work index relationship to the end-diastolic pressure stroke work index. By assessing the function of the systemic ventricle in congenital heart patients repaired at various ages, the hypothesis that cardiac function may be preserved by early surgical repair can be tested. Finally, a totally non-invasive method of assessing ventricular performances is proposed. If validated by cardiac catheterization correlation, this method will allow for repeated non-invasive longterm followup of the study patients. |

Q:
Backbone and checking response of loggin
I use a bacbone in a first time. And i try to login
There is a php.code
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
if ($data) {
$name = $data->{'uname'};
$passwd = $data->{'passwd'};
echo ($name == "myname" && $passwd == "mypass") ? "Login success" : "Wrong name or password";
}
And a backbone code
var modelLogin = Backbone.Model.extend({
url: 'login.php'
});
modelLogin.save({
uname: "myName",
passwd: "myPassww",
});
How to see (e.g with alert or console.log) thw words "Login success" or "Wrong name or password"?
Thank you!
A:
Backbone can help you with that.
Every request to server using backbone.model, uses from behind jquery(ajax). So use Backbone or Jquery in this case have no difference
//Inside your model
LoginUser:->
@fetch(
success:=>
trigger 'authenticated'
error:=>
trigger 'invalidUser'
)
Try to not use save to user authentication, use save only when you post(save data) on server.
The best approach in this case could be fetch the content to server and return the userID or something about the user if the user login and password are both correct.
If you'd like to know the status code returned from server, you can get it from fetch. Like this:
//Model
LoginUser:->
result = @fetch(
success:=>
trigger 'authenticated'
error:=>
trigger 'invalidUser'
)
