Aden (IINA) – Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi presided over the meeting of the Yemeni government in the southern port city of Aden on Tuesday night, following his return to the city from his exile in Saudi Arabia the same day, Saudi Press Agency reported. During the meeting, President Hadi stressed the importance of quick tackling of the ramifications of the war in Aden and other governorates, realizing security, recruitment of Popular Resistance fighters into the country's military and upgrading their capabilities, in addition to provision of medicine to the wounded. The president commended the unlimited support extended by the Arab coalition states, to enable Yemen to restore the state, the constitutional legitimacy and to eliminate outlawed militias. AB/IINA

Q: using secure password with multiple users without prompt I am trying to have my password secured and stored in a file so that I don't need to enter each time when I run the script. First step, I ran the following, entered the password which got stored into E:\cred.txt file. The txt file now contains an encrypted password. (Get-Credential).Password | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Out-File "E:\cred.txt" Secondly, I ran the below Script: $File = "E:\cred.txt" $User = "jason@domain.com" #### I have two different user accounts, one for admin and other for operator, #### however both user accounts use same password. $adminuser = $User $operator = $User -replace "@domain.com" #### I would need to read $File to get only the password $pass = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ` -ArgumentList (Get-Content $File | ConvertTo-SecureString) $adminuser $operator $pass Output: jason@domain.com jason UserName Password -------- -------- From the output, it seems New-Object refers to both UserName and Password. And when I try to connect to systems, it fails with Authentication error. Since I already have two different usernames hard coded within the script, how should I get only the password stored in $pass? or is it possible to include all usernames ($User, $adminuser, $operator) into the cred.txt file? A: Try this: #saving credentials Get-Credential | Export-CliXml -Path c:\credential.xml #importing credentials to a variable $Credential = Import-CliXml -Path c:\credential.xml Or this: #you could then write it to a file or, i say its a better approach to a registry key $SecurePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'P@ssw0rd' -AsPlainText -Force | ConvertFrom-SecureString #now you are taking it back as a secure string $RegistrySecureString = $SecurePassword | ConvertTo-SecureString #you can aslo see the password $UserName = "NULL" $Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $UserName, $RegistrySecureString $Password = $Credentials.GetNetworkCredential().Password #P@ssw0rd

So centurylink can hand over the logfiles to the police? Reason I ask, my girlfriend's work was broken into and they stole a very expensive touchscreen computer. Good news they have logme in software on the stolen system. Also, we have there IP address which traces back to Centurylink which is are local provider here in Fort Myers. It has already been six days now. And still waiting. Also, do you guys have any ideas how we can see who it is, for example surfing habits, facebook, myspace, sites visited etc,,. (there is no webcam) when we try logmein it will popup on the remote system and we do not want to alert them and let them know we are on to them. Any ideas how to show proof who did this? Can we copy any system files/folders/etc... anything to see who stole our system? If so, please let me know. The system is already registered at stolencomputers.org and I called the manufacture (Sony) and let them know in case they try switching information. All help is greatly appreciated. They broke into the business and stole this stuff. Such low lives. Why should they even bother? surely suitably notarised or witnessed written authority would be adequate? After all you are the victim and they are your records, even though you do not keep them? (over here "obstruction" of the police in the course of their duties is a felony offence). AFAIK "Logme in" is still just an application that allows remote access to a host or server machine. It isn't security software and needs the client to initiate the session. Is this a client machine, or the server; and is it a laptop or a tower? With the setups I use, the server cannot initiate a session, as it doesn't know my IP address. I can see a problem where the server connects to the ISP via a router...........it will use an internal IP address (at least that's what mine does), and the router holds the common IP address supplied by the ISP. There is no way the ISP can tell which machine is being used, who is using it, or where it is located; although it would be reasonable to assume that it is within cat5e/RJ45 or WiFi range. Obviously there are applications that are more suited to this security scenario. Typically, they quietly phone home every so often and check to see if they have been stolen. I would guess that remote support software is somewhere inbetween, but still has the problem that you don't know the IP address of the stolen device. All this is academic though as this was a doctors' surgery, so the perps were probably after drugs, and will have offloaded the machine by now. "Freddie the fence" (my local handler of stolen electronics) always uses DBAN and wipes the machines when he gets them. That gets rid of all of the evidence apart from serials, and reduces any potential offence to receiving rather than burglary or theft, which carry much heavier sentences. In all probability the machine has been wiped, rebuilt and shipped out of state by now. Or they have realised they cannot safely dispose of it locally and tossed it in a river or lake; having removed the easily disposed of and untraceable components. Yeah, there are "chopshops" for computers as well I would advise against attempting to contact the machine, as that will contaminate the evidence. Best leave it to law enforcement if they are interested. My PC has a built in security chip, he wouldn't be able to access the bios or the hard drive without the password. I'd probably never see my pc again if it got stolen That's pretty much guaranteed. The general idea of that sort of security is to deter theft, as the thief would know that they couldn't use the machine. And even that assumes that they have time to inspect it carefully first? The flaw is that most casual thieves don't know anything about computers anyway. By the time they discover that it is unusable, it is way too late. They will either toss it, or break it for parts that they can sell. Alternatively they are more professional thieves who have an outlet who will just re-chip it.
Q: jQuery modal dialog using different styles? When we display our grid (jqGrid) in a jQuery modal dialog it uses different styles (font size specifically) versus the grid displayed on our main screen. Any ideas why? A: Explictly seting the jq grid style in the table definition - class="ui-jqgrid" - seems to work: <div style="display:none" id="dialog-activity"> <table class="ui-jqgrid" id="tact_list"></table> <div id="tact_pager"></div> </div>
But the authors’ understanding of American religion seems to start and end with Google searches and anti-evangelical tracts, and their intended attack on Trumpery expands and expands, conflating very different political and religious tendencies, indulging in paranoia about obscure theocratic Protestants and fringe Catholic websites, and ultimately critiquing every kind of American religious conservatism — including the largely anti-political Benedict Option and the pro-life activism fulsomely supported by Francis’ papal predecessors — as dangerously illiberal, “theopolitical,” Islamic State-esque, “Manichaean,” a return to the old integralism that the church no longer supports. None of this makes any sense. The post-1970s evangelical-Catholic alliance has been flawed in various ways, but it is neither theocratic nor illiberal; if Charles Colson and Richard John Neuhaus were integralists, I am a lemur. The religious right stands in a complex continuity with previous religious reform movements in American history, from abolition to the Social Gospel to Prohibition to civil rights and peace movements in the 1960s. And in its specifically Catholic form, religious conservatism has aspired to exactly the kind of Catholic engagement in liberal-democratic politics anticipated by Leo XIII’s “ralliement” and endorsed by the Second Vatican Council. What Spadaro and Figueroa do not grasp is that the tendencies that they see at work in American Catholicism, the religious votes for the cheerfully pagan Trump and the growing interest in traditionalism, radicalism and separatism, are not the culmination of the Catholic-evangelical alliance but rather a reaction to its political and cultural failures — and the failures of liberal religious politics as well. In increasing numbers, American Catholics (and Protestants) feel that their leaders and thinkers have spent decades rallying to the republic, trying to bring about its moral and political renewal … only to see republican virtues decaying, liberalism turning hostile to religious faith, and democratic capitalism delivering disappointment and dislocation. So some of them are reaching backward and sideways or ahead, trying to claim Trumpism or socialism or grasp some as-yet-unknown idea, because they sense that the present order might someday soon be itself an ancien regime from which their religion must slip free. They may be wrong about this, but their sense of things is shared in certain ways by Pope Francis himself, who has a Trumpish, populist streak in his own right, and whose critiques of the West’s technocratic order are notable and pungent. Which is the other bizarre thing about Spadaro and Figueroa’s broad brush: As the American Catholic writer Patrick Smith points out, by warning against a Catholicism that takes political sides or indulges in moralistic rhetoric or otherwise declaims on “who is right and who is wrong” in contemporary debates, the pope’s men are effectively condemning not only American conservative Catholics but also the pope’s own writings on poverty and environmentalism, his support for grass-roots “popular movements” in the developing world and his stress on the organic link between family, society, religion and the state. This they surely do not mean to do. But it is precisely this tension, between the Spadaro-Figueroa critique of American religious conservatives and Pope Francis’ sometimes harsh assessment of the liberal West, that makes the essay important as well as incoherent — because it reveals something significant about the dilemmas of the Vatican in a populist moment, in which the future of Western politics seems unusually uncertain. Between Leo XIII and the Second Vatican Council, Rome gradually made its peace with secular and liberal government, and embraced a style of Catholic politics that worked comfortably within the liberal order, rather than against its grain. And the church has good prudential reasons not to lean in too far to any kind of populism or post-liberalism, lest it lead toward authoritarianism or simple disaster.
I love the art style - the open-ness and innocence of Young Link and the determination and easy confidence of Link. The united, 'we are one' symbolism is beautiful. It's rather awkward though. The pictures appear to have been drawn separately and then pasted together. - The contradictory lighting is confusing. And while the overlapping hands give the impression of 'hand holding', a second glance confirms that isn't the case. While Elder Link is reaching back to someone, Young Link is running. It it weren't for Young's expression I would think that he was trying to escape Elder. While I see the effect you were trying to make they're body language is just too different. Elder Link is sedately walking away from the light-source, reaching back a guiding hand. Young Link is sprinting towards the light. Neither is armed. Though Elder Link wears the shoulder strap for a sword sheath, arm bracers for wielding bow and sword, and what looks like the water-tunic peeking out from underneath the forest-green one . One is running towards their adventure, one is walking away. I think this concept could have been better expressed if you had overlapped them instead of having them 'hold hands'. If you had made it look like Young Link was running past Elder Link then it would have played with the whole idea of 'destiny'. (You know, that kind of scene in anime where it slows down as the two important people move past one another, one walking slowly and one running.)
AMES, Iowa — Donald J. Trump, who is rarely at a loss for words, admitted “I don’t know what’s going on” when confronted by Ben Carson’s surge past him in early-voting Iowa, where Mr. Trump had led the Republican presidential field for months. Mr. Trump has derided Mr. Carson for lacking the vigor and fortitude to be president, but voters here are drawn to the retired neurosurgeon’s low-pitched manner. “That smile and his soft voice makes people very comforted,” said Miriam Greenfield, a farmer in Jewell, Iowa. In an election season that has confounded party leaders and experts, the rise of Mr. Carson is another unexpected twist. His supporters cite Mr. Carson’s character, not his positions, as the main reason they back him. And they say his low-key approach is precisely what would tame Washington’s bitter partisanship, rather than Mr. Trump’s swagger.

Photos: Upcycled fashion with Junk Kouture I was invited recently to take some snaps of a local school’s Junk Kouture entries. Open to secondary schools all over the country the competition brief is simple: create an awe-inspiring outfit with nothing but recycled materials. Easier said than done. Finding aesthetically pleasing, malleable, and most importantly free, materials in sufficient quantities can be a serious challenge – I know this from experience. Despite this, kids from all over the country have managed to create fun and fantastical looks that make my little creative heart sing. This is the schools winning entry. A brightly hued, glitter-coated plastic bottle and origami ensemble that is a mix of a Japanese Gyaru girl, Marie Antoinette and the Little Mermaid, just a few of my favourite things – and clearly the judges’ too.
Action of single-strand specific nucleases on model DNA heteroduplexes of defined size and sequence. The sensitivity of the model DNAs containing dA-dG and dtg-dG heteroduplex regions of defined length to S1 and mung bean single-strand specific nucleases was tested by polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of the distribution of product oligonucleotides. Single-base mismatch heteroduplexes were extremely resistant to these nucleases, although low levels of cleavage at the heteroduplex nucleotide were observed at high nuclease concentrations. The nuclease sensitivity of dA-dtg heteroduplex regions increased gradually as the length of the heteroduplex region increased frome one to six nucleotides. The sensitivity of dG-dG heteroduplexes three to five nucleotides long was considerably greater than that of the single dtg-dG mismatch.
Q: Can one surfaceview handle multiple rounds I have a game I am developing and currently I have one surfaceview class that handles one round which ends after you shoot the correct image from the screen. I want to know if i need to have another class to handle getting new images for the next round, or could i just call this class again after the round ends and get the new data pushed to this same class. Currently I finish the activity then call itself again which results in crashing. A: One SurfaceView ought to be enough for everybody. Please, make sure you separate your game logic from UI, so when your user changes from one level to another, your application just reloads the necessary resources and keeps going on instead of destroying and recreating all activities.

Q: What to return if a try catch fails in Kotlin? I am new to Kotlin and mainly programmed Java before. The Problem is I have this: private fun createUrl(stringUrl: String): URL? { try { return URL(stringUrl) } catch (e: MalformedURLException) { return null } } That is just the style I was used to in Java. I would just check if the URL is null in the next method, but what is the Kotlin equivalent? What would I return in Kotlin? Greetings A: You already wrote this in Kotlin, so not entirely sure of your whole question. However, returning URL? is perfect. Then you can do mWebURL.set(createUrl(myString)) or mWebURL.set(createUrl(myString)?: "alternativeURL") if you have an observable that is ok accepting null. Or if you need to take an action on it, you can simply do createUrl(myString)?.nextAction() //only occurs if not null or you can use createURL(myString).let{ //will happen if not null } or of course simple if(createUrl(myString) == null){ //will happen if not null }
Factor structure and risk factors for the health status of homeless veterans. Homeless veterans have numerous health problems that have been previously characterized as falling into four major subgroups; addiction, psychosis, vascular disorders, and generalized medical and psychiatric illness. Comorbid conditions are common, often involving a combination of psychiatric and medical disorders. Using data from the same survey of homeless veterans that was used to establish these subgroups with cluster analysis, the present study examined the structure of these subgroup patterns through the use of factor analysis. This analysis yielded a five factor solution. They were named "Cardiac", Mood, Stress, Addiction, and Psychosis factors. Factor scores were computed and an odds ratio analysis was accomplished to determine the association between obtaining a high score on a given factor with a number of sociodemographic and homelessness related variables. It was concluded that health status of homeless veterans is a complex condition, but has a clear latent structure demonstrated by factor analysis. Scoring high or low on a particular factor is associated with numerous historical and sociodemographic considerations, notably age, ethnicity, and employment status.

Q: FuelPHP simple class Not Found Error This is my first deployment of FuelPHP, though I am a long time user of CodeIgniter. I am getting the following error when I load the page: ErrorException [ Fatal Error ]: Class 'Model\Model_UPS' not found /classes/controller/ups.php <?php use \Model\Model_UPS; class Controller_UPS extends Controller { public function action_index() { $view = View::forge('json'); $view->title = Model_UPS::get_load(); return $view; } } ?> /classes/model/model_ups.php or ups.php <?php namespace Model; class Model_UPS extends \Model { public static function get_load() { return "This is the load!"; } } ?> /views/json.php <?=$title;?> The error page highlights the $view->title = Model_UPS::get_load(); line of ups.php. I have tried just about every configuration of use, namespace, model filename, and model class name that I can think of. I can't seem to find a super simple MVC example to use as a guide. I've tried to duplicate the FuelPHP Docs as best as I can, but have failed. Can anyone find anything wrong with this?

Q: How to get java.lang;Class from classLoader and not compiled file *.java I trying to get java.lang;Class object from not yet compiled file (*.java). I develop a plugin to netbeans plaform and i know how to find specify classLoader for source folder (src) and after that i would like to get Class object for specify file. I can call loadClass to get it but this dosent work on not compiled file. For example: ClassPath classPath = ClassPath.getClassPath(someFileObject, ClassPath.SOURCE); ClassLoader loader = classPath.getClassLoader(true); Class myLookingForClass = loader.loadClass("web.users.User"); // it is file User.java in package web.users it is some way to get it? UPDATE: Ok, I trying to implements mechanism whitch will generate dynamic class with their body (methods,variables etc.). To do that i need class definition of for example: method returning type or some variables types. Example scenario: User working on IDE (Netbeans) and he created a some class (but not compiled). This class will be userd in body of some class whitch we will dynamic create after some event(For example in using some button). And now it is no problem to getClassLoader and load class definition as java.lang.Class and them using. But files need to be already compiled. And now i would like to know if it is some way to get java.lang.Class from file for example" someFile.java and package somePackage A: There is no way to have a Class object for not yet compiled class. You must understand that java.lang.Class is really a reflection API that represents a class loaded by JVM rather than just an abstraction for a java class in general. ClassLoader itself also works only with a classfile structures. .java files have nothing to do with a running Java: while not compiled they're just a text files. On the other hand you can compile a java file programmatically using a Java Compiler API and then access the compiled class. See javax.tools to learn how to use this API. Maybe this SO question will help too.

Pharmacokinetics of long-acting injectable neuroleptic drugs: clinical implications. The authors review the literature regarding the pharmacokinetics of long-acting injectable neuroleptic drugs (LINS). There are important differences between LINS and oral neuroleptics that affect their pharmacokinetics. By avoiding first pass metabolism in gut and liver, LINS result in lower circulating concentrations of metabolites than are found after oral administration. In addition, LINS take more time to reach a stable steady state than their oral counterparts. The clinical significance of these pharmacokinetic properties is discussed. The authors recommend that when patients are being changed from oral neuroleptics to LINS, that this conversion be done gradually over several months.

The proliferation of the World Wide Web has spawned many new vendors of goods and services. Many allow for sale or auction of items, whereas others provide a means to trade securities, bonds and other financial intangibles. Despite the existence of those services, there are no on-line services heretofore known that allow users to simply swap like-kind items with other users in a convenient manner. For example, many people who are avid readers spend significant time and energy looking for new books to read, while at the same time, have built a large collection of books, digital video discs (DVDs), compact discs (CDs), etc. What is needed is a service for managing the swapping of items, such as books, DVDs, CDs, etc., between users or subscribers to a service, and a convenient way of making delivering items.
Q: How to send native texture ptr from Unity web player to a browser plug-in? I have written an NPAPI browser plug-in (using Firebreath) that Unity uses to access a Kinect camera. I can retrieve skeleton data from Unity through JavaScript easily since it isn't too big, but the problem is in retrieving color image data. Is it possible to send a native texture pointer (GetNativeTexturePtr) from Unity through JavaScript into the C++ plug-in so that it can write the texture data directly? (tested in standalone version and it works) Any other suggestions on how to transfer image data from browser plug-ins to Unity web player are very welcome. A: Unfortunately NPAPI plugins do not contain any mechanisms for exchanging binary data with the page. Probably the most performant way of doing that that I know of would be to base64 encode it and send it as part of a string. Note that strings in NPAPI are UTF8. The only way to get anything from Unity in your plugin would be to use the javascript interface, so you can use whatever methods you can find and then pass the data into your plugin; however, note that Unity is most likely running in another process, so you probably can't use any direct memory pointers that you might get from it.
Q: Can i capture CLI (console) logs of Cisco device using python I am looking for python script so i can get CLI log messages of my Cisco switch to my file so i can display it later to the website. A: There are various ways you can process logging information from a Cisco switch using Python. For example, you can have the logging data sent to a SYSLOG server and from python open the log file created by the SYSLOG server and read it with Python. Another way would be to have Python login to the switch. You can use a module like Paramiko or PEXPECT to login into the switch. From there while logged in, write the information collected into a file.
Q: Introducing builder for existing projects In next release of our product we are adding builders. This change will be okay for newly created projects, but existing projects don't have builders defined in .project file, thus builders do not work for these projects. One way of solving this is to examine each project's .project file and see if builder entry exists, if not - add it. Is there a better way to do this, as it sounds like a pretty common issue that might arise in Eclipse application where a new builder is introduced one application is released. A: There is no other way then manually adding it. Maybe you could add a new command in the project navigator that adds the builders manually; or when opening a file with your editor, it could check for the builder.

Prevention of adverse drug reactions: role of the patient (consumer). The prevention of adverse drug reactions should be a collective responsibility of the pharmaceutical industry (the drug manufacturer), the doctor (the prescriber of drugs) and the patient (the consumer of drugs). Patients themselves can play a significant role in the prevention of adverse drug reactions, in particular, ensuring a high level of compliance with medication instructions can maximise therapeutic effects and avoid or minimise the possible occurrence of potentially adverse reactions. Inadequate compliance can lead to toxicity or treatment failure (clearly exemplified in anticonvulsant, anticoagulant and immunosuppressive therapy) and, consequently, to increased treatment costs and a possible fatal outcome for the patient. Patients should also reject the belief that there is a "pill for every ill" and avoid indiscriminate self-medication and doctor hopping. Some DOs and DON'Ts for patients are also included as guidelines to prevent or minimise the occurrence of adverse drug reactions.

How to Remove Turmeric Stains If you cook with Indian dishes, you are likely to come into counter with the ingredient turmeric. It is a common ingredient used in curry dishes. However, if you spill it, the deep-orange spice will leave a reddish stain on your clothes or linens. Laundering them as you normally would will leave a permanent pink stain and thereby ruin the fabric. Remove Turmeric Stains Quickly The faster you work to remove turmeric stain residue, the easier it will be to rid your clothing and fabric of the turmeric stain. Generally, the items needed to remove turmeric stain residue can be found in your home. The first thing you need to remove turmeric stain residue is dish washing detergent, vinegar, lemon, and a clean cloth. You should rub liquid dish detergent onto the stained area. Once this is done, let it sit for thirty minutes. After this time, rinse the stain with cold water. Take the vinegar and apply it directly to the stain. The stain will likely have faded to a pale pink color or a color which looks yellowish-orange. This is normal. Blot the stain using a clean cloth to remove turmeric stain residue. You should then take the lemon and cut it into slices. Use one side of the lemon and place it onto the visible stain. Let the cloth sit in the direct sunlight for ten minutes to one hour. Keep the cloth in the sun until the stain has faded completely or is faint. Once this is done you should wash the stained area using the detergent on hand. Hand wash the affected area as per the instructions on the clothing or fabric tag. Prior to putting the item in the dryer you should wash it as usual and ensure that the stain has been completely removed. Other Ways to Remove Turmeric Stain Residue If you find that as you try to remove turmeric stain residue, it does not go away after one wash, be sure to wash it again before you place it in the dryer. If you place it in the dryer before the stain is completely removed then you will set the stain permanently with the heat from the dryer. The heat causes the staining material to cling to the fabric. Be aware though, that you can use oxygenated bleach if you want to remove turmeric stain residue from your upholstery or your carpets. You can rub lemon carbonated soda like Sprite to the stains on your carpet or your furniture if you want to remove them. If you do use lemon juice, however, it along with the exposure to the sun can bleach out the colors from your fabrics. It is important that you continually check the fabric to make sure that it is not fading. The easiest method to remove turmeric stains is to wash the garment with normal detergent. After this you should leave the garment out to dry in the sun. If your clothing is white, then you can leave it to soak in a mixture of water and bleach to remove turmeric stains. You can also create a paste with water and baking soda and leave the stained items in the mixture overnight. You can soak stained materials in soda water to remove turmeric stains as well. However, if you choose this option you should avoid using real soda or tonic water because the sugar contained in those items will worsen the turmeric stain. Should this still not remove the turmeric stains, then you can soak the item in bleach. Of course, soaking an item in bleach means the color will be compromised. Overall if you are cooking anything with the ingredient turmeric and you end up with a stain, it is important that you address the stain removal as quickly as possible. You can use certain materials to remove the turmeric stains from your carpet and other materials to remove it from your upholstery. If the stain is on your clothes then you can try a combination of different methods to remove it from colored clothing as well as white clothing. Whatever method you use, it is important that you avoid drying the materials in a dryer until the stain is completely removed. Otherwise, the stain will be set into the fabric permanently.

About the Book Chinese Dreams? American Dreams? Immigrant Chinese women scientists and engineers who study and work in the United States constitute a rapidly growing yet understudied group. These women’s lived experiences and reflections can tell us a great deal about the current state of immigrant women scientists in the United States, how universities can help these women succeed, and about China’s emergence as a global scientific and technological superpower. Chinese Dreams? American Dreams? is the first ethnographic study to document migrating Chinese-born women scientists’ and engineers’ educational experiences and careers in the U.S. It historically situates these women in current political, economic, and cultural contexts and examines the successful strategies they employ to survive discrimination, advance careers, establish networks, and promote transnational research collaborations during their educational and career journeys in the U.S. This study makes a valuable text for students, researchers, and policy makers in higher education, women’s studies, science and engineering studies, as well as for faculty who teach future scientists and engineers. It also introduces new multicultural, intersectional, and feminist perspectives on these crucial issues of gender, ethnicity, nationality, and class, as they impact women’s professional lives.
Q: Pool/billiards tournament I found this problem in my Norwegian calculus book. I think it's difficult. A pool/billiards tournament has n participants. Everyone plays one game against each of the other players. a) Show that no matter how the games end, it will be possible after the tournament to make a list of all players such that each player has beaten the next player in the list in the match they played against each other. (Note: A pool game cannot end as a draw.) b) (This can be proved by induction, but it might be easier to prove it by other means). We say that a group of players stands out if all the players in the group has beaten all the players who are not part of the group. Assume there is no such group that stands out in this way. Show that no matter which players A, B we pick, there is a list A, X, Y, Z ... B where every player on the list has beaten the next one in the match they played against each other. (The list doesn't have to contain every player in the tournament). A: I have no idea what these problems were doing in a calculus text. They would be relatively elementary problems in a graph theory text. Benjamin Arvola did a good job of tackling the first problem in his solution, so I'll handle the second. Let $A$ be a player in the tournament, and let $S$ be the set of all players that $A$ dominates (in the sense that there is a chain of players starting with $A$ such that each player in the chain beat the next player). We want to be convinced that $S$ is the set of all players. Assume that it isn't, so that $S'$ - the set of all players that were not dominated by $A$ - is non-empty. This means that every member of $S'$ beat every member in $S$, because otherwise $S$ could have been extended. But that is precisely $S'$ standing out, which we were told didn't happen in this tournament. Therefore, by contradiction, $S'$ is empty and $A$ must have dominated everyone in the tournament (as did everyone else, since $A$ was arbitrarily chosen).

Long-term dietary isoflavone exposure enhances estrogen sensitivity of rat uterine responsiveness mediated through estrogen receptor alpha. The outcome of long-term exposure to dietary isoflavones on estrogen sensitive tissues is discussed controversially. We performed a study on tissue specific effects of lifelong isoflavone exposure on the rat uterus with exposure being initiated prenatally. We compare the effects of the dietary isoflavones, genistein (GEN) and daidzein, or GEN alone to those of isoflavone free diet. Therefore, one group received a phytoestrogen-free diet (PE-free), one an isoflavone-high diet (ISO-high) and one the PE-free diet supplemented with GEN (GEN-rich) throughout their whole lifetime. In ovariectomized adult females a uterotrophic assay was performed, comparing 17beta-estradiol, GEN and two estrogen receptor subtype-specific agonists. The uterus wet weight, the uterine epithelial heights, and uterine markers for proliferation, estrogenicity and estrogen-dependent water channels were determined on mRNA and protein level. The dietary ISO pre-exposure results in a much stronger uterine weight increase following external ERalpha-mediated estrogenic stimuli than seen in the PE-free group. These strongly increased effects were not exclusively due to proliferation hence proliferation associated parameters were almost identical in all groups. Additionally, gene expression analysis showed that estrogen-dependent water channels are highly affected by ISO-containing diets. In conclusion, the lifelong dietary ISO ingestion enhances severely the uterine responsiveness to ERalpha-mediated estrogenic stimuli in female rats. While the uterine proliferation rate was not affected, the water homeostasis was highly affected. Our data clearly demonstrate that estrogen responsiveness is highly modulated by dietary isoflavones. Whether this estrogen sensitivity shift is beneficial or adverse to health remains to be elucidated. However, this is highly relevant for interpreting data from regional differences in endocrine cancer.

Living polymerization methods. Living polymerization techniques can be used to achieve a high degree of control over polymer chain architecture. Examples of the type of polymers that can be synthesized include block copolymers, comb-shaped polymers, multiarmed polymers, ladder polymers, and cyclic polymers. This control of structure, in turn, results in polymers with widely diverse physical properties, even though they are made from readily available low-cost monomers.
Coffee growers in Costa Rica have increased their coffee yields by leaving patches of surrounding rainforest untouched. Researchers discovered that leaving segments of rainforest in their natural state boosted bird biodiversity. Those birds fed on the borer beetle, an aggressive coffee bean pest. This model was shown to improve coffee bean yields by hundreds of dollars per hectare. The study is the first to put a monetary value on the pest control benefits rainforest can provide to agriculture.
Q: Html5 video player is not working in ios mobile application? I am developing the ionic project(with angular Js ) where I need to play live streaming videos and also mp4 videos for that I tried HTML5 video tag but it wont work on ios.(It is working in Android Mobile Application) thanks A: VLC cannot run as a web plugin on Android or iOS because those platforms don't support the concept of a web plugin. You need to use a native component. VLCKit and libvlc-for-android are known to run correctly in mixed application environments and we are aware of multiple clients interfacing the native ObjC or Java interfaces through a bridge from a JS context.
Q: With a web app, how should I trigger jobs like, notifications, state changes, general repetivite tasks and checks I am building a web application in asp.net MVC and am thinking how I can get certain conditional tests to happen regularly. Currently I am planning on having a page such as /utility/runJobs that will have a function in it that will test the whole site for dates meeting certain conditions etc.. I would then trigger this page from a service or other trigger service. I would probably run this every min incase new notifications had to be sent out, or a Log item had to be written, or a status updated. Can anyone suggest a better way of doing this. EDIT___________ Imagine how the notification emails for ebay are sent? I guess that the badges on stack over flow are tested when a user comes to the site, and only for that user. A: If you are planning to write a Service to trigger your Jobs then I would suggest that you execute your jobs in your Service. With MVC you have hopefully already separated you logic from you Views so it should be easy to implement the service.

The Senate has stripped Pauline Hanson's chief of staff James Ashby of his parliamentary pass and banned him from entering the building following an altercation with a senator. Key points: James Ashby and Senator Brian Burston were involved in a bloody dispute inside the building James Ashby and Senator Brian Burston were involved in a bloody dispute inside the building Senator Burston has launched legal action against Mr Ashby, including seeking a restraining order Senator Burston has launched legal action against Mr Ashby, including seeking a restraining order Senator Burston admits it was his blood smeared across Senator Hanson's door Mr Ashby became involved in a scuffle with Brian Burston inside Parliament House, leaving the senator with an injured hand. Senator Burston has launched legal action against Mr Ashby, including seeking a restraining order, and reported the incident to the Australian Federal Police. Senator Burston quit One Nation last year after a prolonged feud with Senator Hanson. Senate President Scott Ryan announced the ban late on Thursday afternoon, having announced an investigation into the matter earlier in the day. The announcement prompted Senator Burston to confirm blood that had appeared on Senator Hanson's office door earlier in the day was his. "Whilst I do not recall the incident of blood on the door, I now have come to the conclusion that it was myself, and I sincerely apologise for that action," he told the Senate. Pauline Hanson and Mr Ashby examine the blood smeared on Senator Hanson's office door. ( Supplied: Rob Messenger ) Mr Ashby said he "accepted the decision" of the President of the Senate and had surrendered his pass. "All I ask is that the President does do a thorough investigation into the claims that have been made against senators out there about their behaviour towards women in the workplace," he told the ABC as he arrived at Brisbane airport. "What I would ask is that the President does give a fair hearing to all sides. "At this present moment, I haven't had my hearing. And I'm sure he will give that." Brian Burston (right) arrived at Parliament House with his hand bandaged. ( ABC News: Nick Haggarty ) Mr Ashby and Senator Burston had been attending a function at Parliament House prior to their dispute in the foyer of the building. Footage of the incident emerged, but Senator Burston said it failed to depict the full incident. Sorry, this video has expired Brian Burston and James Ashby clash at Parliament House. Senator Hanson accused parliamentary officials of double standards, suggesting Senator Burston should face similar disciplinary action. "Because he's a senator ... I think there are rules for one, and totally different for everyone else," she said after leaving Canberra. "But that's up to the Parliament to decide." It came after a bitter war of words had broken out between Senator Hanson and Senator Burston. Earlier in the week, Senator Hanson, speaking in the Parliament, said an unnamed, married, male senator was the subject of a serious sexual harassment investigation. Senator Burston told News Corp that he believed she was talking about him and strenuously denied the accusations. He then accused Senator Hanson of sexual harrasement, which she dismissed as "retaliation" and said she "can't stop laughing about it". James Ashby uses his phone to film Brian Burston in the Parliament House foyer. ( Supplied: Rob Messenger ) Council of Small Business Organisations Australia chief executive Peter Strong witnessed the incident between Mr Ashby and Senator Burston and described it as "disgraceful". Crossbench senator Cory Bernardi praised Senator Ryan for stripping Mr Ashby of his parliamentary access. "It is a special privilege and for any chief of staff, or any staff member, to accost a senator in the manner in which is alleged there is only one appropriate course of action," he said. Senator Bernardi said he hoped the ban would remain in place "for a very long time".
A molecular explanation of frequency-dependent selection in Drosophila. Frequency-dependent selection provides a means for maintaining genetic variability within populations, without incurring a large genetic load. There is a wealth of experimental evidence for the existence of frequency-dependent changes in genotypic fitness among a wide variety of organisms. Examples of traits which have been shown to be subject to frequency-dependent selection include the self-incompatibility alleles of plants, chromosomal rearrangements in Drosophila, visible mutations, enzyme variants and rare-male mating advantage in Drosophila. These experiments have been interpreted in a number of different ways. Principally, frequency dependence of genotype fitness may result from intergenotype facilitation due to the production of biotic residues, or from the differential use of resources by the competing genotypes. However, it has proved extremely difficult to isolate and identify any biotic residue of importance or, alternatively, to understand the manner in which genotypes partition the environment. Thus, the difficulty in the interpretation of experiments which show frequency-dependent selective effects stems largely from our lack of understanding of the exact physiological mechanisms which produce these frequency-dependent effects. The principal aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms associated with frequency-dependent selection at the amylase locus in Drosophila melanogaster. The excretion of catalytically active amylase enzyme and its effect on food medium composition were correlated with the outcome of intraspecific competition between amylase-deficient and amylase-producing genotypes. Amylase-producing genotypes were shown to excrete enzymatically active amylase protein into the food medium. The excreted amylase causes the external digestion of dietary starch; this accounts for the frequency-dependent increase in the viability of the amylase-deficient mutants in mixed cultures, maintained on a starch-rich diet.

Yesterday I released the 10th video in the BOSH tutorial series. I know BOSH can have a steep learning curve but if you have been following along you should now at least know what BOSH is and how to use it to deploy software. You should also be aware of most of the features that make BOSH so cool and help make your life easier. Just to be sure I’ll list some of the cool things about BOSH here: Deploy software without knowledge about the software: BOSH releases are basically bundles of software and knowledge. Using a BOSH release means using the knowledge of the author of the release. Because of this you won’t have to learn all the details of the software you want to run. BOSH will do magic and the you can do yours. BOSH takes care of the software after initial deployment: This means that when something goes haywire during the night you won’t be woken up. BOSH has got you covered. OS updates are a breeze: Whenever a new stemcell is deployed all the old system disks will simply be removed and replaced with a new disk. This makes OS upgrades very easy for BOSH users. It also makes your machines more secure because any malware that may have ended up on a system disk is now gone. Also, stemcells are released very regularly so there is no excuse not to have the latest patches on your machines. Everything is code. All configuration is text based, deployment manifests are text, release sources are text, everything is text. More specifically: everything is yaml. This makes putting everything in source control very easy. Which in turn makes automating and pipelining everything very easy. Which is what we’ll dive into soon. Keep an eye on the BOSH Rocks! channel to learn more!
This invention relates generally to sprinkler systems, and, more particularly, to a test assembly utilized in conjunction with sprinkler systems in order to aid in the testing of waterflow alarms or other liquid actuated in-line devices. With the increased growth of business and industry there has also been a proportional increased loss of property as a result of fires. Additionally, with the advent of larger and larger buildings (many stories high, for example) it has become incresingly difficult to combat fires within such buildings. Even improved building construction material has had little effect on the successful combating of fires. As a result, more effort has been directed toward the development of effective sprinkler systems, and, to date, more modern sprinkler systems have proved to be highly successful in controlling fires. More specifically, automatic sprinklers are devices which are connected by a main line to the building's water supply in order to distribute water upon a fire in sufficient quantity to either extinquish the fire completely or, at least, limit its spread until fire apparatus can be summoned to put out the fire. Water is fed to the sprinklers by way of a series of pipes, with the sprinklers connected thereto at spaced apart intervals. The sprinklers generally contain orifices of predetermined size so as to effectively control the flow of water sprayed from the sprinkler. Under normal conditions, the sprinklers are closed preventing the flow of water therethrough. Each sprinkler contains a temperature sensitive element which, when activated, opens the normally closed sprinkler. There are numerous different types of automatic sprinklers; however, the present invention is concerned with sprinkler systems which rely upon the flow of water or other liquid therethrough to control the fire. For a sprinkler system to be complete it is essential that the sprinkler system include some type of water (liquid) flow alarm. Such a water flow alarm is a device capable of providing a warning signal when water flows through the risers, mains or pipes supplying the sprinklers. Thus, upon the activation of the sprinkler to extinquish or control the fire, the alarm provides immediate notification of the operation of the sprinklers and therefore warning of a fire, if, in fact, it was a fire which set off the sprinkler. With such a warning it is possible to summon appropriate fire extinquishing personnel, or if the sprinklers were inadvertently activated, to check and shut off the sprinklers before substantial water damage occurs. The basic design of such a water-flow alarm includes a check valve which lifts from a seat when water flows through the system while preventing the back flow of water therethrough. It is the movement of the check valve or flapper which generally operates mechanically an alarm or an electrical switch to activate an alarm. As effective as these sprinkler systems are, there still are times when as a result of obstructions in the lines or for other reasons water fails to flow through the water-flow alarm even when the sprinkler is activated and in the open (water flow) position. Such malfunction could prove to be disasterous since neither the alarm will sound nor will water flow through the sprinkler. Consequently, it is essential that flow through the system containing the water flow alarm be tested without setting off the sprinkler. In other words, it is essential to simulate the operation of the sprinkler so as to effect water flow through the water-flow alarm. Heretofore such a test system included a complex series of plumbing components made up of pipes, nipples, valves, a sight glass, elbows and a brass orifice disk interconnected together so as to simulate the operation of an activated sprinkler. It is clearly evident that past test systems were difficult to install, susceptable to leaks as a result of the many joints, bulky in construction, utilized leaky site glasses, and were extremely expensive to install. Nevertheless, to date, since such a test system as described above was generally the only one available, it is used with virtually all existing sprinkler systems. It would be highly desirable, however, if such a complex testing system could be replaced by a simple, inexpensive and reliable test system.
Q: Good mobile oriented GWT widget library alternatives I've been developing a travel planning site - tripgrep.com - which is built on appengine, GWT and smartgwt, among other technologies. It is still early days, and the site is now working well on my development environment, which is either a windows or mac computer. However, I am frequently talking up the website to my friends when we are at a bar or other venue, so I am standing there while they try to access the site via an iPhone, Android or Blackberry - I've witnessed all three. It has been painfully obvious that the browser based frontend takes a long time to download on a mobile device. I am pretty sure this is because of the javascript download for SmartGWT. So, I would like to look at alternatives to SmartGWT. What I like about SmartGWT is that it has a reasonable look and feel out of the box - I don't need to learn any design or css and it has an office application look. This is considerably better than the GWT built-in widgets, which just get a blue border. The better look-and-feel is why I went with SmartGWT early on. However, the slow load times are killing me on these mobile demos. So now I want a fast loading widget alternative that has good look-and-feel out of the box. The features I care about are: tabs, good form layout, Google maps API integration, grid data viewing. If those are all available in a library that loads quickly on a mobile device, then that's the library I want. A: Your best bet is probably just to use the standard GWT widgets and learn how to style them to your liking. SmartGWT's automatic styling is nice, but as you've noticed, it comes with a price. Even GWT's standard widgets, which are lighter, could still be trimmed down for maximum speed, so if you're really adventurous you could roll your own light-weight widgets that do only what you need them to do.
The combined effect of abandoned mines and agriculture on groundwater chemistry. Although it is well known that both mining and agriculture disturb groundwater quality, their mutual interactions are much less well documented, though agricultural activities may prevail once mining operations have ended. To study these potential interactions and their impacts on water chemistry, we monitored the chemical composition of groundwater at the outlet of a gold exploration gallery in an area of intensive agricultural activity along with an isotopic study of the groundwater, a reactive artificial tracer test that involved injecting H2O2 into the gallery, and geochemical modelling. The isotopic study revealed denitrification of the NO3-bearing groundwater that takes place through oxidation of the sulphide minerals associated with the gold deposit and leads to anomalous concentrations of some metals such as Zn, Co and Ni. It also contributes to liberating As into the groundwater, where the tracer test confirmed that As is sensitive to the redox conditions. The currently observed high arsenic concentrations in the groundwater are interpreted as resulting mainly from the former mining activities through a remobilization of As sorbed on or co-precipitated with the iron oxides that formed when the gallery was excavated. The geochemical modelling enabled us to calculate the respective role of each process involved in the As accumulation in the groundwater. It is also inferred that NO3 contamination from agricultural activities disturbs arsenic remobilization--by consuming available electron donors (e.g. organic matter), NO3 limits the reduction of iron oxides and consequently the release of arsenic.
If Someone Is Going To Be In Hospice At Home, Will Hospice Give The Oral Morphine To Anyone To Administer? Does Hospice Ask A Person Who Volunteers To Be A Caregiver If He Has A Criminal/drug Past? Question Originally asked by Community Member Z…T. If Someone Is Going To Be In Hospice At Home, Will Hospice Give The Oral Morphine To Anyone To Administer? Does Hospice Ask A Person Who Volunteers To Be A Caregiver If He Has A Criminal/drug Past? If hospice is supposed to be an advocate for the patient first, shouldn’t hospice vet the caregiver before giving him/her morphine to give to the patient? If hospice has no responsibility in making sure the volunteer caregiver is someone who won’t abuse the position, how can an elderly, frail patient be protected? I guess I need to know - if hospice doesn’t vet the “friend” caregiver, then who protects the patient? Who makes sure the patient is safe? Thank you. Answer Hi ZT, Hospice organizations vary. Some are non-profit and some for-profit. Some are better than others. My experience with our local hospice has been wonderful and I hear the same from others around the country. Still, there are likely some that aren’t as careful as others. If you are worried about a certain volunteer, ask the hospice you are working with how they vet the people who help. If you don’t want a certain volunteer to help your loved one, you can likely say so. I would think that most hospice organizations would deny volunteer status to someone with an abuse record, but you can feel free to check. Take care your loved one. You are his or her advocate so you have that right. Take care of yourself, as well, Carol You should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

Everything can feel a little discouraging at five in the morning when you haven't slept! Lots of sympathy to you there. I hope you've managed to get some rest and are feeling a bit more hopeful. I think it's often tempting to give up when we don't see enough of a change or the going gets rough. I bet you have had classes that have been very difficult while working towards your masters degree but you haven't given up! You've continued on and know that those courses were only a means to an end. You've done so well with your weight loss! I would encourage you to keep going and push past this stage. Eventually you will see a difference and hopefully feel it as well. What is the alternative?
Efficient surface reconstruction and reverse engineering techniques are usually based on a polygonal mesh representation of the geometry: the resulting models emerge from piecewise linear interpolation of a set of sample points. The quality of the reconstruction not only depends on the number and density of the sample points but also on their alignment to sharp and rounded features of the original geometry. Bad alignment can lead to severe alias artifacts. In this paper we present a sampling pattern for feature and blend regions which minimizes these alias errors. We show how to improve the quality of a given polygonal mesh model by resampling its feature and blend regions within an interactive framework. We further demonstrate sophisticated modeling operations that can be implemented based on this resampling technique.

A practical method to rapidly dissolve metallic stents. Metallic stents are commonly used in many clinical applications including peripheral vascular disease intervention, biliary obstruction, endovascular repair of aneurysms, and percutaneous coronary interventions. In the examination of vascular stent placement, it is important to determine if the stent is open or has become obstructed. This is increasingly important in the era of drug-eluting stent usage in coronary arteries. We describe a practical, rapid and cost-effective method to dissolve most metallic stents leaving the vascular and luminal tissues intact. This practical method may replace the laborious and expensive plastic embedding methods currently utilized.

Blood pressure and age-dependent changes of endothelium-dependent tension oscillations in different strains of spontaneously hypertensive rats. The influence of blood pressure and age of spontaneously hypertensive rats on endothelium-dependent tension oscillation of aortic preparation were studied. Rats with different blood pressures, normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY), spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP) and malignant type of SHRSP (M-SHRSP), were used. The effects of antihypertensive treatment of SHRSP on the tension oscillation were also studied. High doses of noradrenaline induced tension oscillations in endothelium-intact preparations of all strains of young rats. The rate of the occurrence of the tension oscillation decreased age-dependently. The decrease was faster when the blood pressure of the rats was higher. Application of acetylcholine in the presence of noradrenaline induced a relaxation and tension oscillations, both of which were negatively dependent on age and blood pressure. Antihypertensive treatment of hypertensive rats with hydralazine or captopril prevented a decrease in incidence of the tension oscillation. These influences of age and blood pressure as well as antihypertensive treatments on the tension oscillation resembled those on the endothelium-dependent relaxation and are thought to be brought about by functional changes of the endothelium.
Memes follow the general definition of art. According to Oxford English dictionary, art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Notice it says typically, not always. This definition includes writing, which is not a very visually pleasing thing, but a more meaningfully pleasing thing. Memes follow this definition just as much as literature or any other traditional art form does. That is why memes should be acknowledged as an art form. If they are not, this is a direct insult at the entire culture of millions of people who enjoy memes.

Therapeutic drug monitoring of aminoglycoside antibiotics. Aminoglycosides are widely used antibacterial agents, particularly for serious infections. They have a narrow therapeutic margin of efficacy over toxicity relative to many other agents, a disadvantage which can be obviated to some extent by precise dosing regulated by blood concentration monitoring. The relationships of efficacy and toxicity to concentrations are discussed, as are the practical aspects of clinical indications for monitoring and specimen collection. Dosing by predictive methods is useful but not always of sufficient precision. A large number of methods for assay are now available. With care, microbilogical plate assays can give results of adequate accuracy and selectivity, and with sufficient speed. Immunoassays give more accurate, specific and rapid answers; EMIT, in particular, seems the best method available at the present time. Whichever method is used, control of its accuracy is essential.
Killers Not Being Screened For Critics A mere four or five years ago it was all but unheard of for a Hollywood studio not to screen a major blockbuster in advance for critics. Back when I first started reviewing movies, in the early aughts, I could count on one hand the number of major theatrical releases which weren’t screened for the press each year. Since then, studios have discovered that potential moviegoers are easier to manipulate into seeing bad movies, if there’s no one around to warn them, and refusing to screen movies for critics has become commonplace whenever Hollywood has a real stinker on its hands. Word of mouth will kill these movies eventually, but only after they’ve made big opening weekend box office generated by tricky advertising campaigns. So here’s the latest addition to the not screened for the press wall of shame: Killers. It’s the Katherine Heigl/Ashton Kutcher, husband and wife spy movie and the AP says critics won’t be allowed to see it. There’s still time for them to change their mind but I can confirm that, so far at least, we here at Cinema Blend haven’t been invited to screen it either. Of course their spin on the issue is the same, tired, worn out “reviews don’t matter anymore” sales pitch we’ve been hearing for at least a decade now. That might hold more water, if studios ever refused to screen movies which were, you know, actually good. Since so far it’s only bad movies being hidden from the press, I think we’re safe in declaring that particular theory to be exactly what it is: bullshit. This could also explain Lionsgate’s marketing campaign for Killers which has seemed as though it’s primarily targeting extremely pregnant women; presumably because they’re hoping this potential audience is too busy making babies to be savvy enough to catch on to how terrible this movie looks. Now they won’t have critics to warn them either.

Using a ubiquitin ligase as an unfolded protein sensor. A significant fraction of all proteins are misfolded and must be degraded. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway provides an essential protein quality control function necessary for normal cellular homeostasis. Substrate specificity is mediated by proteins called ubiquitin ligases. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) a specialized pathway, the endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation (ERAD) pathway provides means to eliminate misfolded proteins from the ER. One marker used by the ER to identify misfolded glycoproteins is the presence of a high-mannose (Man5-8GlcNAc2) glycan. Recently, FBXO2 was shown to bind high mannose glycans and participate in ERAD. Using glycan arrays, immobilized glycoprotein pulldowns, and glycan competition assays we demonstrate that FBXO2 preferentially binds unfolded glycoproteins. Using recombinant, bacterially expressed GST-FBXO2 as an unfolded protein sensor we demonstrate it can be used to monitor increases in misfolded glycoproteins after physiological or pharmaceutical stressors.
Keywords: Deeds, mind, good, evil, settling one's account, God, St Peter Description of this motif: In some of Andersen's fairy tales people have their life's account of good and evil deeds, sometimes also thoughts, settled after death, before the gates of heaven. "Something", " Kept Secret but not Forgotten" and "The Girl Who Trod on the Loaf" are three obvious examples of this theme. Example : And that is why she does so many good deeds and remembers all those in the poor homes about her and in the rich homes, too, where there also are afflicted people. Her deeds are done in secret, and kept secret, but they are not forgotten by our Lord.

Signal transduction pathways modulated by the D2 subfamily of dopamine receptors. The D2 subfamily of dopamine receptors includes D2A, D2B, D3, and D4 dopamine receptors. These receptors activate cellular effector systems, principally through pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins. Historically, D2-like receptors in brain tissues were recognized as the dopamine receptor subtypes that inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Recent studies, reviewed here, have shown that multiple effector systems can be activated by these receptors, and the potential involvement of these in dopaminergic neutrotransmission is discussed.
The use of design patterns particularly on the surfaces of various materials, such as textiles, paper, and the like, has been achieved using various techniques over the centuries. For example, one of the oldest methods of applying surface designs is the use of resist printing, early Japanese batiks and Japanese stencil prints being examples thereof, as well as plangi tie-dye techniques developed in Asia. Such techniques normally use an appropriate device to protect certain areas of the material so as to prevent color penetration in such areas, as from a dye. Other similar printing techniques have been developed such as stencil printing, screen printing, transfer printing and the like. Further the application of yarns and threads as a method of decorating fabrics has long been used as in the field of embroidery and tapestry, for example. Moreover, mechanical techniques such as embossing have also been used over the years. While those in the art have attempted to use the above well known techniques to produce different and dramatic design patterns and effects, the art is continually looking for ways of achieving further novel effects, particularly in the highly competitive field of fabric designs, (textile industry) and home furnishings, as well as in the paper products industry.
IADE: a system for intelligent automatic design of bioisosteric analogs. IADE, a software system supporting molecular modellers through the automatic design of non-classical bioisosteric analogs, scaffold hopping and fragment growing, is presented. The program combines sophisticated cheminformatics functionalities for constructing novel analogs and filtering them based on their drug-likeness and synthetic accessibility using automatic structure-based design capabilities: the best candidates are selected according to their similarity to the template ligand and to their interactions with the protein binding site. IADE works in an iterative manner, improving the fitness of designed molecules in every generation until structures with optimal properties are identified. The program frees molecular modellers from routine, repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on analysis and evaluation of the automatically designed analogs, considerably enhancing their work efficiency as well as the area of chemical space that can be covered. The performance of IADE is illustrated through a case study of the design of a nonclassical bioisosteric analog of a farnesyltransferase inhibitor--an analog that has won a recent "Design a Molecule" competition.

Widespread neural oscillations in the delta band dissociate rule convergence from rule divergence during creative idea generation. Critical to creative cognition and performance is both the generation of multiple alternative solutions in response to open-ended problems (divergent thinking) and a series of cognitive operations that converges on the correct or best possible answer (convergent thinking). Although the neural underpinnings of divergent and convergent thinking are still poorly understood, several electroencephalography (EEG) studies point to differences in alpha-band oscillations between these thinking modes. We reason that, because most previous studies employed typical block designs, these pioneering findings may mainly reflect the more sustained aspects of creative processes that extend over longer time periods, and that still much is unknown about the faster-acting neural mechanisms that dissociate divergent from convergent thinking during idea generation. To this end, we developed a new event-related paradigm, in which we measured participants' tendency to implicitly follow a rule set by examples, versus breaking that rule, during the generation of novel names for specific categories (e.g., pasta, planets). This approach allowed us to compare the oscillatory dynamics of rule convergent and rule divergent idea generation and at the same time enabled us to measure spontaneous switching between these thinking modes on a trial-to-trial basis. We found that, relative to more systematic, rule convergent thinking, rule divergent thinking was associated with widespread decreases in delta band activity. Therefore, this study contributes to advancing our understanding of the neural underpinnings of creativity by addressing some methodological challenges that neuroscientific creativity research faces.
Q: Share ViewModel between fragments that are in different Activity I have a ViewModel named SharedViewModel: public class SharedViewModel<T> extends ViewModel { private final MutableLiveData<T> selected = new MutableLiveData<>(); public void select(T item) { selected.setValue(item); } public LiveData<T> getSelected() { return selected; } } I've implemented it based on SharedViewModel example on the Google's Arch ViewModel reference page: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/viewmodel.html#sharing_data_between_fragments It is very common that two or more fragments in an activity need to communicate with each other. This is never trivial as both fragments need to define some interface description and the owner activity must bind the two together. Moreover, both fragments must handle the case where the other fragment is not yet created or not visible. I have two fragments, called ListFragment and DetailFragment. Until now I used these two fragments inside an activity called MasterActivity, and everything worked well. I got the ViewModel in ListFragment, selected the value to use it on DetailFragment. mStepSelectorViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(getActivity()).get(SharedViewModel.class); However, now, in certain cases, I need that ListFragment (a layout to a different device configuration) will be added to a different activity, called DetailActivity. Is there a way to do that similarly to the above example? A: A little late but you can accomplish this using a shared ViewModelStore. Fragments and activities implement the ViewModelStoreOwner interface. In those cases fragments have a store per instance and activities save it in a static member (I guess so it can survive configuration changes). Getting back to the shared ViewModelStore, let say for example that you want it to be your Application instance. You need your application to implement ViewModelStoreOwner. class MyApp: Application(), ViewModelStoreOwner { private val appViewModelStore: ViewModelStore by lazy { ViewModelStore() } override fun getViewModelStore(): ViewModelStore { return appViewModelStore } } Then in the cases when you know that you need to share ViewModels between activity boundaries you do something like this. val viewModel = ViewModelProvider(myApp, viewModelFactory).get(CustomViewModel::class.java) So now it will use the Store defined in your app. That way you can share ViewModels. Very important. Because in this example the ViewModels live in your application instance they won't be destroyed when the fragment/activity that uses them gets destroyed. So you will have to link them to the lifecycle of the last fragment/activity that will use them, or manually destroy them. A: you can use factory to make viewmodel and this factor will return single object of view model.. As: class ViewModelFactory() : ViewModelProvider.Factory { override fun create(modelClass: Class): T { if (modelClass.isAssignableFrom(UserProfileViewModel::class.java)) { val key = "UserProfileViewModel" if(hashMapViewModel.containsKey(key)){ return getViewModel(key) as T } else { addViewModel(key, UserProfileViewModel()) return getViewModel(key) as T } } throw IllegalArgumentException("Unknown ViewModel class") } companion object { val hashMapViewModel = HashMap<String, ViewModel>() fun addViewModel(key: String, viewModel: ViewModel){ hashMapViewModel.put(key, viewModel) } fun getViewModel(key: String): ViewModel? { return hashMapViewModel[key] } } } In Activity: viewModelFactory = Injection.provideViewModelFactory(this) // Initialize Product View Model userViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this, viewModelFactory).get( UserProfileViewModel::class.java)` This will provide only single object of UserProfileViewModel which you can share between Activities. A: Well, I created a library for this purpose named Vita, You can share ViewModels between activities and even fragments with different host activity: val myViewModel = vita.with(VitaOwner.Multiple(this)).getViewModel<MyViewModel>() The created ViewModel in this way stay alive until its last LifeCycleOwner is destroyed. Also you can create ViewModels with application scope: val myViewModel = vita.with(VitaOwner.None).getViewModel<MyViewModel>() And this type of ViewModel will be cleared when user closes app Give it a try and kindly let me know your feedback: https://github.com/FarshadTahmasbi/Vita

The Internet, which in essence includes a large number of networked computers distributed throughout the world, has become an extremely popular source of virtually all kinds of information. Increasingly sophisticated computers, software, and networking technology have made Internet access relatively straightforward for end users. For example, conventional browser software allows a user to request information such as a web page from a web site on one or more remote computers. To this end, the user provides the address of the web page (e.g., a uniform resource identifier, or URI) in some manner to the browser software, and the browser software transmits the request using a well known communication protocol such as the HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP). The request is then routed to the destination computer or web site based on the address. When the request is received, the remote web site evaluates the request and returns an appropriate response, which may include the information requested in some formatted content, e.g., a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) format. The browser software parses and interprets the returned content to render a page or the like upon the user's computer display. When accessed, some web sites attempt to store information on the user's computer, in a small text file referred to as a cookie. Many times this is desirable to the user, e.g., so that the user does not have to repeatedly resubmit information manually to the remote computer hosting the web site, but instead can automatically provide the information as stored in the cookie. For example, a user can allow cookies to be stored on his or her computer so as to be able to view some web sites, and/or to take advantage of desirable customization features, such as local news and weather, or stock quotes. Such a cookie is likely a persistent cookie, which remains on the user's computer when the browsing software is closed, so that the cookie can be read by the web site that created it when that site is later revisited. Alternatively, a temporary or session cookie may be stored on a user's computer only for the current browsing session. Such a cookie is deleted from the computer when the browsing software is closed. While some cookies are thus valuable to users, other cookies allow abuse of the user's privacy, essentially by allowing access to personally identifiable information that may be used for a secondary purpose, without the user's consent or knowledge. For example, less-than-trustworthy web sites can invade a user's privacy by tracking the web sites that the user has visited. Such a site may do this by storing a cookie on the user's machine, and then having advertisements or the like embedded in other web sites. When such other web sites are visited, the embedded web site can retrieve its cookie and thereby obtain information indicating that the user visited the specific site. Over time, this information may be collected and analyzed to profile a user's web surfing habits across a set of web sites. Such information may be used for many purposes, even though a user would not want that information known. For example, the information may be used for targeted advertising, resold to others, and so forth. In sum, cookies are widely used in data collection, but simply disabling cookies is impractical because many users benefit from legitimate ones upon which applications depend. A solution such as prompting the user before allowing any cookie storage (or recall) is generally undesirable because such prompting interrupts and annoys many users. At the same time, however, many web users are increasingly concerned that web sites can use cookies or the like to locate them in the physical world, profile them in the virtual world, and/or correlate this information to obtain an essentially complete user identity picture. Many web users also express concerns over web sites sharing their personal data with other parties, such as for online behavior analysis. Still further, many other users are unaware of such data collection practices, or at least the extent of it and the specific details being collected, and thus are uncertain as to what actions can be taken to counter such activity and reasonably protect personal privacy.

A Coreia do Norte realizou neste início de noite um teste de lançamento de um míssil, desde uma região ao norte da capital do país, Pyongyang, mas que não chegou a sair do território norte-coreano. O míssel explodiu pouco tempo depois, mas a Coreia do Norte difundiu algumas imagens como mostra do seu poder. Não foram dados detalhes sobre o tipo de míssil. A primeira reação da Casa Branca foi fria. Em um comunicado confirmou o teste balístico e detalhou que o presidente dos Estados Unidas havia sido informado. Donald Trump, no entanto, não demorou nem uma hora em resmpoder ao ato por Twitter: "A Coreia do Norte não respeitou os desejos da China e seu respeitado presidente ao lançar, ainda que sem sucesso, um míssel hoje. Mal!", escreveu. O lançamento coincide com o aumento da tensão entre Coreia do Norte e Estados Unidos. Na semana passada o embaixador de Pyongyang na ONU, Kim In Ryong, afirmou que a escalada com Estados Unidos cria “uma situação perigosa na que uma guerra termonuclear pode estourar em qualquer momento”. “Se Washington opta por uma ação militar, estamos preparados para reagir a qualquer tipo de conflito”, assinalou o diplomata na ONU. Suas palavras chegaram em resposta à advertência lançada horas antes pelo vice-presidente Mike Pence. Em sua visita à Coreia do Sul, o segundo homem mais poderoso da Casa Branca deu por terminada a era da “paciência estratégica” e anunciou que “todas as opções estavam sobre a mesa”, incluídas ações militares de repreensão como as lançadas na Síria e Afeganistão.
Jeff - Given all the things Enron is going through, if there is anything I can do, just let me know.
Q: "You are" vs "you is" when "you" is used as both singular and plural? The word "you," when used in a sentence, is always used as "you are" rather than "you is". This happens regardless of whether the speaker is speaking to one person or many. Is "you are", when applied to a single person, an example of the numerous exceptions in the English language? Is there ever a situation where it is appropriate to use "you is"? A: All English verbs except the full modals have three finite forms (finite forms are those which have tense, number and person): one form for present tense, 3d person singular ... full modals lack this form one form for present tense, all other persons and numbers one form fall past tense, all persons and numbers The verb be, and only that verb, has two additional forms one form for present tense, 1st person singular: am one form for past tense, 1st and 3rd person singular: was Here is a comparison of conjugations for be, love, and the full modal may: PRESENT I AM we are I love we love I may we may you are you are you love you love you may you may he/she/it IS they are he/she/it LOVES they love he/she/it may they may PAST I WAS we were I loved we loved I might we might you were you were you loved you loved you might you might he/she/it WAS they were he/she/it loved they loved e/she/it might they might So you are is not an exception; the exceptions are I am and I was. You is is not possible. English used to have a distinct second person singular pronoun, thou, but dropped it in the course of the 16th and 17th centuries. It had its own verb forms,too (endings in -st, except be had the form thou art); but happily those were dropped, too; so there's that much less you have to to learn.
Q: Can I get speech recognition in language other than English on Android? I am trying to build an application (which would use the Hindi language and other regional languages) to get speech voice commands. I also need text to speech functionality in my application. I was wondering if there was any way I could get a speech recognition library on Android? I did a quick Google search and found a couple of libraries for Hindi on the Internet but I am not sure if I can include them in my Android project. Can I? A: You can use pocketsphinx for your app.It has JAVA and Python API's for capturing and recognizing speech. By default it recognizes only English. But if you provide your own Language Model (LM) and Dictionary File(.DIC), you should be able to get it working. Not directly straightforward as using an API, but can be certainly doable http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/tutorialandroid
Nursing informatics in Korea. The use of computers in the Korean healthcare system began in the late 1970s to expedite insurance reimbursements when the national health insurance system was introduced. Their application in nursing came much later because the insurance fee schedule does not include nursing services. This article explores the history and activities of nursing informatics in Korea in professional organization, education, research, clinical practice, and professional outreach. Suggestions are given on meeting the challenges of information technology for nursing in Korea.
Mila Kunis is pregnant for Ashton Kutcher My friend Lorella and I were at an event once, talking to someone we’d just met about Jude Law getting people pregnant. The woman, who had sort of like a gangster accent, kept saying, “She got pregnant for Jude Law. Pregnant for Jude Law”. And Lo and I kept cracking up over the expression, “pregnant for” someone. So I’m ripping it off. E! was the first to report the other day that Mila Kunis is pregnant for Ashton Kutcher. Now PEOPLE has followed with confirmation. You know how motherhood whitewashes women? Does fatherhood whitewash dads? When he posts the first shot of him cradling his child, probably in black and white, on social media, will you forget about how much of a douchebag he is? He was only a douche because he wanted to be complete, to be a father! Can’t wait to know what they name their kid. Now here’s a guy I could totally imagine being proud of calling his son “Stag”. Or “Jag”. Or TAG. Tag Kutcher. Anyway, Mila and Ashton were courtside at the Clippers game the other day. It was a tactile outing. At one point she had her hands all over his face. And they were on the kiss cam. Yeah, that’s private. F-ck you, Lainey, can’t they just go to the game? Sure. You know where else they can watch the game? They don’t have to be in the front row. You can enjoy the game from the 15th row too. And you’re harder to shoot in the 15th row too. People sit courtside because they have access to courtside. They’re showing you that that’s how special they are. But they’re not special when people want to take pictures of them walking their dog. OK.
Q: tableView(:cellForRowAtIndexPath:) Not Called I know this question has been asked a million times, but I came across this problem and couldn't figure it out for the life of me, and all the previous examples only have unique code to their problem. I have a viewcontroller, inside of which I have a tableview. I created a custom tableviewcell class and my problem: The cellforrowatindexpath, which is set up in the viewcontroller isn't even called. I've included the UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate protocols, but no results - my tableview shows up without any of the configurations (mainly populating the cells). A: It's super simple, I just figured it out: Go to the storyboard, select the tableview and ctrl-drag to the yellow box at the top of the view controller (This is a reference to the view controller itself). Then make sure to select both the delegate and datasource options (white dot to the left of the options indicates they're selected). A: You can set the delegate properties in storyboards like you mention above but you can also set them in viewDidLoad using: self.tableView.delegate = self self.tableView.datasource = self This will create the reference to the UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource
Q: Python Frameworks vs Firebase Since Firebase can do user login as well as hold a lot of other stuff about users and their interactions with my app. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of using Firebase solely as a web framework, instead of using django, pyramids, bottle, etc etc? http routing, etc etc.... I have that sorta stuff handle by another process... So, if I'm looking basically to hold some user stuff and allow for user logins and user to user private/personal communications. It seems firebase is an almost total solution, no? I know this isn't a technical question, but I'm just looking for opinions from a realtime crowd....stackoverflow seems the best fit. A: Some contras of using Firebase: Your data is in an external server (deal-breaker for sensitive data) It costs money You have an additional dependency that you don't fully control (if they go out of service/business you might be in trouble) You know the pros. If you think these are not relevant to you then go for it.
Abstract Colorism is a persistent problem for people of color in the USA. Colorism, or skin color stratification, is a process that privileges light-skinned people of color over dark in areas such as income, education, housing, and the marriage market. This essay describes the experiences of African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans with regard to skin color. Research demonstrates that light-skinned people have clear advantages in these areas, even when controlling for other background variables. However, dark-skinned people of color are typically regarded as more ethnically authentic or legitimate than light-skinned people. Colorism is directly related to the larger system of racism in the USA and around the world. The color complex is also exported around the globe, in part through US media images, and helps to sustain the multibillion-dollar skin bleaching and cosmetic surgery industries.
Q: MVC Dependency Injection Autofac, where to specify dependencies I have a ASP.NET MVC Web App with the following layers UI Layer -> Service Layer -> Data Access Layer -> Database Each layer is a separate project. Plus there is another project for each layer (apart from the UI Layer) which contains only the interfaces. My question is, when building the Autofac container I specify the dependencies (Service Layer, Data Access Layer) along with the interfaces, in the OwinStartup Class. Is this the proper place to do this? If not how do I separate this. A: You will have to compose your container on the application level, e.g. using an OwinStartup class or similar. That said, I usually separate out the dependency setup for each assembly/project into their own Autofac module. This way, the assemblies become more self-contained. The application level setup also becomes much cleaner, its only responsibility is pulling in the various modules and building the container.
